Extract text from Game music and maps (WGM)
To convert WGM Game files to another format, you need [WSFTool] or [Wonderware InTouch] or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Game Data" file type, you need software like [WSFTool] or [Wonderware InTouch] or a similar tool.
The .WGM file extension handles several highly specialized and mutually exclusive formats. Most commonly, it acts as a game music module archive created by [Syntesis Entertainment]. These files contain sequenced audio data and instrument samples used in specific video games. Alternatively, .WGM files function as Graphic Menu files within Wonderware InTouch, an industrial Human Machine Interface (HMI) software stack. Some legacy game titles, including Worms and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, also utilize the extension for custom map or graphical menu data.
Opening these files requires targeted software. You can play the music archives using specific emulation plugins or [WSFTool]. The HMI menus strictly require the enterprise-grade [Wonderware InTouch] suite to render the industrial control interfaces.
Users often attempt to convert .WGM music files into standard audio, or extract visual layouts from HMI menus. The primary disadvantage of the current format is its strictly proprietary, closed-source nature. An audio module holds synthesizer instructions rather than standard soundwaves, while an HMI menu holds proprietary drawing commands. These files cannot be natively previewed in web browsers, and they tie the user to obsolete or expensive specialized software.
The best conversion targets for the audio variant are MP3, WAV, or FLAC. Graphic menus and game maps generally cannot be cleanly converted to standard formats like PDF or SVG without losing their interactive properties.
This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert. Standard online converters fail because they lack the necessary game sound engines or industrial HMI libraries to parse the custom binary code. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru offers a practical alternative. Just drag and drop your file to identify the exact format, view its internal structure, and extract raw text. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WGM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DWG files.
If you want to convert WGM file to , you can use [WSFTool] or [Wonderware InTouch] or similar software from the "Game Audio & HMI Menus" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to WGM, try [WSFTool] or [Wonderware InTouch] or another comparable tool in the "Game Audio & HMI Menus" 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 WGM converter.
