What is a .HMP file?
An HMP file is a special kind of computer file that is used by two video games called Worms 3D and Worms Mayhem. These games are about controlling teams of worms in a battle against each other, and they are played by taking turns. The HMP file is important for these games because it contains information about the height of the ground and buildings in the game's levels. This means it tells the game how high or low every part of the level is, which is crucial for creating a three-dimensional (3D) world that looks real and can be interacted with by the players.
The ".HMP" at the end of the file name is called a file extension. This extension helps computers understand that the file is a Worms Height Map File and that it should be used with the Worms 3D or Worms Mayhem games.
To open an HMP file, you need to have one of the games installed on your computer - either Team17's Worms Mayhem or Team17's Worms 3D. These games are made by a company called Team17. Once you have one of these games, it can read the HMP file and use the information inside it to build the game levels where you play. This means you can't just open an HMP file by clicking on it like you would with a picture or a document. Instead, the game automatically uses the HMP file to set up the game world when you choose to play a certain level.
