All about TGM Files
The TGM file type is primarily associated with Total War Games.
What is a TGM file?
TGM files mostly belong to Total War Games. TGM files are data files that can serve very different functions depending on the software that created them. They do not follow a single standard but are defined by their use case.
Unreal Engine Game Data: Some TGM files contain game data for titles built on the Unreal Engine 3. Such files, used by companies like Total War Games, store game assets and configurations. For more details, visit the Total War Games website. SQL-Based Tag Database: Other TGM files store structured data as an internal SQLite database. This type is used by the Kivnon Tag Manager to manage tag databases for systems like Siemens TIA Portal. Visit the Kivnon Tag Manager website for additional information. Game Save Files: Certain TGM files act as save files for games such as The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep or for systems like the TGM-Simulator. They often use GZIP compression to reduce file size. More info can be found on The Bard's Tale IV webpage. Train Control Telegrams: Other TGM files are used in railway systems. They carry train control telegrams, where the file’s content holds commands used by traffic management software like that from Eurobalise Compiler. Specialized decoders, such as Eurobalise_Telegram_Decoder, are required to process these.
FilExt.com tips: Opening a TGM file correctly means using the tool that understands its internal format. Standard text editors may show gibberish if the data is compressed or structured. Always use the recommended applications to avoid errors and preserve the file's integrity.

TGM file format details:
A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the TGM files is as follows:
The TGM file extension is rarely used and is used by many programs, each with its own file format. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 15% of all TGM files internally utilize the SQL file format. An SQL file contains a lightweight SQLite database, widely used in application development for storing application related data. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. Most of these files are 69 KB to 140 KB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as SQLite format 3. Files like these have the following tags: tags.
- 15% of all TGM files internally utilize the Unreal file format. This Unreal Engine Package by Epic Games may contain textures, maps, music files, 3D models, or game settings. The package can be created and edited using the Unreal Development Kit. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. A typical file size is 4 MB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. None. These files are often associated with base, conquest, assist and joust.
The remaining 70% of all TGM files are different files with different signatures, often e.g. GZIP, JSON, FILETYPE and gMa. Often described as slick. If you want to find out what your TGM file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
