Convert a file to UTP

To convert other file formats to the "Modding Data File" file type, you need software like KotOR Tool or a similar tool.

About UTP files

The .utp extension primarily refers to the BioWare Aurora/Odyssey Engine Placeable file, a blueprint used in games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. These files function as definitions for interactive objects (chests, furniture, terminals) within the game world, storing properties like inventory contents, lock difficulty, and appearance models in a proprietary GFF (Generic File Format) structure. Because they are binary game assets, they cannot be opened by standard text editors or image viewers.

A secondary but significant use is the Undertale Mod Patch, associated with the UndertaleModTool. These files contain script or asset deltas used to patch the main data.win game file, allowing modders to distribute changes without sharing the entire copyrighted game executable.

Common Conversion Constraints:

Proprietary Lock-in: Both formats are engine-specific. You cannot simply "convert" a .utp blueprint into a JPG or PDF because it lacks visual data; it only references 3D models stored elsewhere.
Modding vs. Converting: For BioWare files, the goal is usually extraction (to XML or TXT) for editing. For Undertale files, the goal is application (patching the game).

Best Target Formats:

For Editing (BioWare): Convert to XML using KotOR Tool. This allows you to modify stats in a human-readable text format before recompiling.
For 3D Reference: Extract the referenced MDL (Model) file, which can then be converted to OBJ or FBX for software like Blender.

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