T3 file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our examination of the T3 files comes to the following conclusion:

T3 is seldom used as a file extension and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. However, the following two file formats are common:

70% of all T3 files belong to TADS 3 Game. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The files are often between 700 KB and 3 MB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The keywords T3-image, SYMD, String.specialsToHtml.flags, String.specialsToHtml.tag, leng, objToString, length, mainResto and 5Wed Oct 31 03:17:26 2012ENTP are typical for these files. An example of a file name is sophiesEyes.t3 or villan_1_5_1.t3. Such T3 files store data about eyes, alpha and dewey.

All other T3 files (30%) have no uniform format. Sometimes used for diagnostic or report. If you want to find out which format your T3 file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .t3 file to analyze".
