They are created and managed by RPG Maker XP.

RXDATA file extension format:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our examination of the RXDATA files comes to the following conclusion:

The RXDATA file extension is quite widespread and mainly uses a defined RXDATA format. But the following two file formats are common:

• 90% of all RXDATA files are RPG Maker data files. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The file size is in the range of 1 KB to 980 KB. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. The following keywords are characteristic: @name" and trainer. The file name Scripts.rxdata or Game.rxdata is characteristic of these files. Such files are related to save, items, actors, events, common, animations, system and enemies.
• 2% of all RXDATA files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "eJz" at the beginning. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. RXDATA files can be up to 410 KB in size, but are often around 42 KB - 220 KB. A common filename is -1.rxdata or -2.rxdata.

All other RXDATA files (8%) have different formats, such as GZIP. Often described as skills, classes, states, plugin, editor or tilesets. You can get all the details of your RXDATA file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .rxdata file to analyze" above.
