What is a .MBM file?
The file extension .MBM stands for Multi Bitmap File. It is primarily used in the game Kerbal Space Program (KSP), which is a game where players can build and manage their own space program. The .MBM file contains texture data for 3D models used within the game. These textures are what give the surface of space shuttles and other space-related objects their detailed appearances, such as colors and patterns.
The .MBM files work in conjunction with .MU mesh files, which are the files that define the shape and structure of the 3D models. The .MBM files provide the necessary texture details that cover these models, making them look realistic.
To open an .MBM file, you need to use the Kerbal Space Program game itself, developed by Squad. This game is specifically designed to recognize and utilize .MBM files as part of its gameplay experience.
The MBM format has its roots in the "PSIoN Serie 5" format and is sometimes also known as the "Mobile Bitmap" format. This indicates its versatility and adaptation from older, perhaps mobile-related, bitmap formats to its current use in gaming.
