Extract text from FPE files
To convert your FPE file to another format, you need GameGuru or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration Script" file type, you need software like GameGuru or a similar tool.
The .FPE extension primarily represents an FPS Entity File used by The Game Creators for their game engines, specifically FPS Creator and GameGuru. These text-based configuration files define the behavior, appearance, and logic of in-game objects (entities), such as enemy health stats, AI scripts, and texture paths. A major difficulty for developers is that .FPE files are engine-specific; they cannot be directly imported into modern engines like Unity or Unreal Engine without manual parsing. Converting them to TXT allows developers to extract logic and asset references.
However, the format suffers from a filename collision. A significant number of .FPE files are Allplan Layout Window files created by Allplan, a high-end BIM/CAD application. Unlike the game scripts, these are often binary or zlib-compressed, rendering them unreadable without a paid license. A third, less common variant is a project file from Free PDF Editor, which users often mistake for a final document. These project files hold the edit state and cannot be opened by standard viewers like Adobe Acrobat.

If you want to convert FPE file to FPS, OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL or PLY, you can use GameGuru or similar software from the "Game Entity Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to FPE, try GameGuru or another comparable tool in the "Game Entity Configuration" 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 FPE converter.
