Extract text from Game scripts and data (SX)
To convert SX Scripts to another format, you need SigmaPlot or Statistix or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data or Spreadsheet" file type, you need software like SigmaPlot or Statistix or a similar tool.
The .SX file extension represents multiple completely different file formats. Most commonly, it is a Game Engine Compiled Script used by the Avalanche Software game engine. Another major use case is as a Statistical Analysis Data file for software like Statistix and SigmaPlot. Additionally, it functions as an Electrical Network Project file for Siemens Simaris Design (often saved internally as a ZIP archive) and occasionally as a Motorola S-record firmware file.
Because .SX covers so many proprietary formats, dealing with these files is a massive headache. If you have an Avalanche compiled script, the code is locked inside the game engine ecosystem and is useless to standard text editors. If it is a Statistix or SigmaPlot spreadsheet, you must have an active, expensive software license to open, view, or analyze the data. Siemens Simaris project files face the same restrictions. You cannot simply open them in a web browser or standard office software.
Converting .SX files depends heavily on the underlying format. Statistical data files should ideally be converted to CSV or XLSX for use in Microsoft Excel or other accessible spreadsheet tools. For game scripts or firmware files, conversion is often impossible without decompiling the specific binary. Since most .SX files are closed and proprietary, standard online converters fail completely. Our analysis engine can detect if the file uses a hidden ZIP or TIFF structure (like Siemens or ALI Corp firmware files) and extract the raw data for you.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted XLSX, RELS, BAU, OVX and CSS files.
If you want to convert SX file to CSS, INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11 or OMP, you can use SigmaPlot or Statistix or similar software from the "Game Script or Statistical Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to SX, try SigmaPlot or Statistix or another comparable tool in the "Game Script or Statistical Data" 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 SX converter.
