FGD Files

Files with the .FGD extension contain entity definition data:

• Entity Name
• Entity Keys
• Entity Flags

Worldcraft/Hammer uses .FGD files to determine which entities can be placed in a map. Data from the FGD file will be compiled into the final .BSP. The Half-Life engine uses this data to manage entities.

Each game or mod uses its own FGD file.

FGD files are in plain text format. You can edit the files with any text editor.
