About HXC files
The .HXC file extension is primarily used as a game modification script for the popular rhythm game Friday Night Funkin'. These files are written using HaxeScript, allowing modders to inject custom logic, build new characters, and alter core game mechanics. Alternatively, .HXC serves as a Help Collection Definition File for the legacy Microsoft Help 2.0 system. In this secondary context, it is a plain-text XML file that acts as a central hub, linking together various compiled help files (HXS) and table of contents files (HXT) for older Visual Studio and MSDN software releases. The main disadvantage of the .HXC format is its highly restrictive and localized use case. Game scripts are tied exclusively to specific engine forks (such as the Psych Engine) and do not execute on their own. Similarly, the Microsoft Help 2.0 framework is obsolete, meaning its collection files are practically useless without legacy documentation compilers. Because both variations of the .HXC file store plain text, the most practical conversion targets are TXT, XML, or HTML for code review, browser viewing, or archiving. Standard online converters frequently fail to process .HXC files because they do not recognize custom game scripting extensions or abandoned documentation structures. Often, only the original game engine or legacy documentation tools can truly parse the data.

The HXC Converter Story
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 HXC converter.
