About TGI files

A .tgi file is primarily a Game Data Definition file used by real-time strategy (RTS) games based on the Infinite Game Engine, most notably Axis & Allies (2004) and Kohan II: Kings of War. These files function as scripts that define essential gameplay mechanics, including unit statistics, tech trees, and AI behaviors.

For gamers and modders, the main challenge is that .tgi files appear as unrecognized system files, preventing easy access. In reality, they are often disguised plain text or XML containers. Users typically need to convert or rename them to TXT to tweak game balance or create mods using editors like Notepad++.

In a completely different context (engineering), a .tgi file may be a TowGeom Input File generated by Degi Trans software for transmission tower design. These are specialized CAD data files used to calculate wind loads and geometry, often exporting data to PLS-TOWER. For this type, conversion requires the proprietary TowGeom suite.

Convert.Guru analyzes your TGI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted DEMO, DLG and MGN files.
