Extract text from FUK files
To convert your FUK file to another format, you need Postal 2 or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Unreal Engine Map" file type, you need software like Postal 2 or a similar tool.
The .FUK extension is primarily associated with Postal 2, the controversial first-person shooter by Running With Scissors. In this context, it functions as a Game Map File containing level geometry, spawn points, and triggers for the modified Unreal Engine 2 (sometimes called 'Unreal 1.5'). The extension was chosen as a deliberate crude joke by the developers. Additionally, the format is used as a generic Game Data Archive in titles like Total War: Shogun 2 and Euro Truck Simulator 2, where it acts as a compressed container for binary assets, vehicle configurations, or mod data.
Users typically encounter these files when attempting to mod gameplay, fix corrupted level loads, or extract 3D assets. A major limitation is the format's proprietary lock-in; a .FUK file is not a standard image or text file and cannot be opened by Windows Notepad or Adobe Photoshop. It requires the specific game engine tools to interpret the binary structure.
For Editing, the only reliable method is using the game's specific SDK, such as PostED (Postal Editor). For Asset Extraction (getting 3D models or textures out), users should convert or extract the contents to OBJ (for 3D mesh compatibility with Blender), TGA (for textures), or standard UNR (Unreal Map) formats.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FUK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BSM, UEXP and TST files.
If you want to convert FUK file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Postal 2 or similar software from the "Game Level Map" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to FUK, try Postal 2 or another comparable tool in the "Game Level Map" 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 FUK converter.
