How to open file with .ACS extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .ACS file? Do you want to convert a .ACS file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .ACS

Full Name Developer Category
Microsoft Agent Character Structured Storage Format Microsoft Misc Files
.ACS

The ACS .ACS file extension is associated with Agent Character File. It is a file saved by the AOL Instant Messenger software AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and used to store characters that are used in the game AOL Adventure Quest. The characters created in the game can be stored on the user's computer as ACS files. These files contain information about a character including their name, race, class, level, experience points, statistics and other detailed information.

Technical Details

The Agent Character File is a binary file that stores this information as TICODEs or Tagged Information Codes. These codes are then compiled into a single ACS file. Although the file technically utilizes the same encoding and data type as the scripting language TISCript, it is not designed to be read or modified by hand. It also cannot be used in conjunction with any other TISCript applications.

Similar File Extensions

ACS files are related to other file formats used by AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), such as TIS and TDB; as well as other game-related files like BAG, BMP, DAT, INI, SAV, CFG, and AAK.

Programs for WINDOWS system

  • Microsoft Agent Character Editor Microsoft Agent Character Editor

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ACS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ACS extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ACS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ACS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ACS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ACS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ACS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ACS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ACS file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .ACS file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .ACS file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
