Extract text from DLG files
To convert your DLG file to another format, you need BioWare Aurora Engine or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Script / Data Log" file type, you need software like BioWare Aurora Engine or a similar tool.
The .dlg extension represents a diverse range of file formats, most prominently associated with Game Dialogue scripts for engines like the BioWare Aurora Engine (used in Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age). These files store conversation trees, logic nodes, and script triggers that dictate in-game interactions. Because they are often compiled into binary formats or proprietary structures, they cannot be opened in standard text editors like Notepad, making modding and localization difficult without conversion. Users frequently need to convert these to XML, JSON, or TXT to edit dialogue lines or translate game content.
In professional contexts, .dlg files function as Data Logs for scientific and industrial equipment, such as PeakTech data loggers, Mares dive computers, or AutoDock molecular docking simulations. These files contain critical time-series data or diagnostic logs but are often locked into specific vendor software (e.g., Keysight BenchVue). To analyze this data in universal tools like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, users must convert the proprietary logs to CSV or XLSX. Additionally, legacy GIS workflows may encounter Digital Line Graph vectors from the USGS, which require conversion to modern formats like Shapefile (.SHP) or DXF for use in software like ArcGIS Pro.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DLG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DPF, ZIP, DNG, DWG, GZ, KDT, BCH and IRC files.
If you want to convert DLG file to SHP, KML, KMZ, GPX, GEOJSON, TOPOJSON, TIF, TIFF, ECW, SID, IMG or DEM, you can use BioWare Aurora Engine or similar software from the "Game Dialogue Script" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LAZ, KMZ, DTM, CSV, DEM, PRJ, LAS, GPX, DSM, SHP, DBF or KML files to DLG, try BioWare Aurora Engine or another comparable tool in the "Game Dialogue Script" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DLG converter.
