.2DA File

The 2da file extension is associated with the BioWare video gaming engines known as Infinity and Aurora.

A 2da file is a plain-text file that describes a 2-dimensional array of data.

In BioWare's games, 2da files serve many purposes, and are often crucial to the proper functioning of the game and tools. They describe many aspects of the rules and game engine. Although 2da files are plain text files, they are structured according to a set of rules that must be followed in order for the game and tools to read them correctly.

How to open:

Use any text editor to view content of *.2da files.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .2da file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
