Extract text from Game data files (XRG)
To convert XRG Game files to another format, you need X-COM: UFO Defense or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data Archive" file type, you need software like X-COM: UFO Defense or a similar tool.
A .xrg file is a multi-purpose proprietary container primarily associated with video game data and hardware settings. It most commonly serves as a Game State Data File for the classic strategy game X-COM: UFO Defense, where it stores campaign progress, soldier stats, and base configurations. In the context of Starbreeze Studios titles like The Chronicles of Riddick, the file functions as a Game Dialogue or Event Script, containing the logic for in-game cutscenes and interactions. A distinct, unrelated use includes Satellite Receiver Data for ALi Corp chipset devices, storing channel lists and firmware settings.
Because these files are often binary or custom-encoded text, they cannot be opened directly in standard editors like Microsoft Word. Users typically need to convert them to Plain Text (.TXT) to modify game scripts, or use a Hex Editor to tweak save game values (e.g., resources or health). For satellite files, conversion to UDF or ABS is often required for cross-device compatibility. Opening a .xrg file in an unsuitable program will result in garbled characters and potential file corruption.
