Known file types in Total War games.

Categorizes files by their format and purpose. Each variant corresponds to a dedicated submodule that implements parsing and encoding for that file type.

Type Detection

File types are determined by:

• Extension matching: Primary method for most file types
• Path patterns: For files with special naming (e.g., DB tables)
• Magic numbers: For format disambiguation when needed

Support Levels

• Full: Complete decoding and encoding support
• Partial: Read support with limitations
• Passthrough: Raw data only (use Unknown for custom handling)

See the module-level documentation for a complete support matrix.

Unknown Type

FileType::Unknown is the default fallback for unrecognized files. These files can still be read and written using the Unknown file type, which provides access to raw bytes.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for FileType

fn clone(&self) -> FileType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for FileType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for FileType

fn default() -> FileType

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for FileType

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for FileType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<&RFileDecoded> for FileType

fn from(file: &RFileDecoded) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<&str> for FileType

fn from(value: &str) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<FileType> for String

fn from(value: FileType) -> String

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl Ord for FileType

fn cmp(&self, other: &FileType) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for FileType

fn eq(&self, other: &FileType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for FileType

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &FileType) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Serialize for FileType

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Copy for FileType

impl Eq for FileType

impl StructuralPartialEq for FileType
