Engine

Sonic R Engine

Sonic R's .TER file format (used for collision in PC Version) is a very early version of the format used in the NUP and PS2-HD titles, but everything else is unique.

Sonic R (Saturn, Windows)

Nu2 Engine

Whilst all TT-produced mainline console and PC video games from Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex to The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame run on the same underlying engine, the engine itself has undergone several iterations over the years. This page attempts to categorize the engine into several sub-engines and document which games use which versions of the engine.

PlayStation 2 (PS2) sub-engine

The PS2 Engine was purpose-built for the PlayStation 2, and then ported and modified for use on other platforms.

NUP variant

The NUP variant is so named for its usage of .NUP files in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy instead of .GSC files like in later titles.

Although listed as the same variant, these games also have vast differences, with LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game being much more hard-coded than LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, and Bionicle Heroes having a significantly different system for loading files and code.

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game (LSW1) (PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Windows, Mac OS X)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Windows)
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (LSW2) (Multiplatform)
Bionicle Heroes (BionicleHeroes) (PS2, Xbox 360, GameCube, Wii, Windows)

PS2-HD variant

The oxymoronically named PS2-HD variant is so named because it is technologically similar to the NUP variant of the PS2 sub-engine, but was designed for HD platforms instead (although all games had a Wii release, and LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures and LEGO Batman: The Videogame had PS2 releases).

It introduced the Enhanced Graphics mode, which uses higher-polygon character models, as well as introduces depth of field in cutscenes and uses complex shadows for all Lego models (although blob shadows still occasionally appear). Complex shadows are filtered in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga and LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, but are unfiltered in LEGO Batman: The Videogame, resulting in noticeable aliasing. LEGO Batman: The Videogame also introduced a strong Ambient Occlusion shader, although it suffers from color banding and fringing, and does not take into account vertex normals.

Also referred to as the PC.GHG variant, although this stems from a file nomenclature difference that is only used by the Windows releases. The three Lego games on this sub-variant are commonly referred to by modders as the "holy trinity" of Lego game modding.

Transformers: The Game (PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows)
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (TCS) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (LIJ1) (PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows)
LEGO Batman: The Videogame (LB1) (PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)

Next-Gen (NXG) sub-engine

When developing LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, Traveler's Tales decided to drop support for the PlayStation 2, and instead focus on pushing the capabilities of seventh-generation hardware. This resulted in a major technological revamp.

Creator variant

The Creator variant is so named because both games have a level builder. It also introduced the concept of using a .CD file to point to a character's files and replaced the plaintext CHARS.TXT with a binary .APJ file, much to many modder's chagrin.

LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues (LIJ2) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (HP1) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)

Builder variant

The Builder variant is so named because it introduced several folders named BUILDER. It is notable for the usage of a new graphics engine, which introduced more advanced shaders and necessitated capping the console releases' framerates at 30 FPS.

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (LSW3) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game (Pirates) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (HP2) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)

Gotham variant

The Gotham variant, named after the hub of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, is most notable for adding full camera control to (most areas of) the hub world and introducing a separate audio track for voices during cutscenes.

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (LB2) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO City Undercover (LCU) (Wii U)

Cinema variant

The Cinema variant is so named because Tt Games decided to make the games more cinematic around this time period. Also referred to as the DX11 variant, due to the API used.

DirectX 9 (DX9) sub-variant

The DX9 sub-variant is so named because the Windows versions of the games run under DirectX 9.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (LMSH1) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
The LEGO Movie Videogame (TLMV) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO The Hobbit (Hobbit) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (LB3) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Jurassic World (Jurassic) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Dimensions (Dimensions) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U)
LEGO Worlds (Worlds) (Windows; early betas only)

DirectX 11 (DX11) sub-variant

The DX11 sub-variant is so named because the Windows versions of the games run under DirectX 11.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (LMSH1) (PS4, Xbox One)
The LEGO Movie Videogame (TLMV) (PS4, Xbox One)
LEGO The Hobbit (Hobbit) (PS4, Xbox One)
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (LB3) (PS4, Xbox One, Windows)
LEGO Jurassic World (Jurassic) (PS4, Xbox One, Windows)
LEGO Dimensions (Dimensions) (PS4, Xbox One)
LEGO Worlds (Worlds) (Windows; early betas only)
LEGO City Undercover (LCU) (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Windows)

TFA variant

The main distinction between the Cinema and TFA variants is that LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens-variant games require a patched executable to run with extracted .DAT files. Often lumped together with the Cinema variant in discussion.

DirectX 9 (DX9) sub-variant

LEGO Marvel's Avengers (LMSH2) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (LSW-FA) (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO Worlds (Worlds) (Windows)

DirectX 11 (DX11) sub-variant

LEGO Marvel's Avengers (LMSH2) (PS4, Xbox One, Windows)
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (LSW-FA) (PS4, Xbox One, Windows)
LEGO Harry Potter Collection (PS4, Xbox One, Switch)
LEGO Worlds (Worlds) (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Windows)
The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame (NinjagoMovie)
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (LMSH3) (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO The Incredibles (Incredibles) (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Windows, Mac OS X)
LEGO DC Super-Villains (DCSV) (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Windows, Mac OS X)
The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame (TLMV2) (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Windows, Mac OS X)

NTT Engine

NTT (pronounced "entity") is a custom built engine, developed specifically for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. As TT Games has announced that future titles are being developed using Unreal Engine, it is unknown whether NTT will be used for any other titles. Additionally, due to The LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's pending (and postponed) release, any technical similarities between NTT and the late Nu2 are yet to be determined.

Handheld engines

Not much is known about the handheld engines, as they do not have easily disassembled Windows ports.

The DS versions of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, and LEGO Batman: The Videogame share an engine, while the GBA versions of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy uses the same isometric engine developed by Aspire which is different from there fully 3D engine of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for DS which in itself is different from the standard TT Fusion engine that is used from LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga onwards.

⚠️ Disclaimer

All information listed here is for reference purposes only.

File formats and related tools are third-party resources and are not affiliated with or endorsed by TTGames.

Use them responsibly and respect applicable licenses and laws.

🚀 Getting started

If you’re new to exploring game files, start by browsing the format pages and reading the descriptions to understand what each format contains and how it can be accessed.

CBX Files

CBX files are audio files used in TTGames LEGO video games to store sound effects, voice lines, and sometimes music.

This format is proprietary and not officially documented. Most of the current knowledge about CBX files comes from community research and tooling.

📦 Overview

File extension: .cbx
Category: Audio
Used for: Sound effects, voice lines, music
Official name: ChatterBoX ?

CBX files are not directly playable by standard media players and require conversion before they can be listened to or edited.

The Chatterbox format is a variation of EA's MicroTalk codec.

🎮 Usage in games

In TTGames LEGO games, CBX files are typically used to:

Store spoken dialogue
Store sound effects
Store music or ambient audio

They are usually found inside larger archive or package files and are loaded dynamically by the game engine.

🛠️ Working with CBX files

To work with CBX files, modders usually convert them into a standard audio format such as WAV.

Common workflow:

Extract CBX files from the game archives
Convert CBX files to WAV using a dedicated tool
Play, analyze, or edit the resulting audio
For now, you can't repack or replace audio for modding purposes

🔧 Known tools

The following tools are commonly used with CBX files:

⚠️ Notes & limitations

CBX is a proprietary format
The internal structure is not fully documented
Some variations may exist between different games or engine versions
Editing and re-encoding CBX files is not possible

🧩 Structure

TO DO.

TSH Files

TSH files are a proprietary texture set format used in TTGames LEGO video games to store collections of texture images (DDS) along with crop informations.

Each TSH file usually comes with a _CONTENTS.TXT file that contains a hash of each character name.

This format is not officially documented by TTGames. The current understanding comes from community research.

📦 Overview

File extension: .tsh
Category: Texture set / image container
Used for: Grouping multiple textures into one file
Official name: NuTextureSheet

🎮 Usage in games

The file format was introduced in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham with the initial file version 4.

Version 5 seems to be indistinguishable from version 4 except the VTOR FourCC is missing.

Version 11 was introduced in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This format changes slightly, mostly with the lack of Trim information headers and the name is stored as a 16 bit sized string, it's upper case hash and it's regular hash. The texture is also moved into a seperate .TEXTURE file pointed to at the end of the file.

🛠️ Working with TSH files

To work with TSH files, modders usually extract them into separated image format such as DDS.

Common workflow:

Extract TSH files from the game archives
Unpack TSH file to DDS using a dedicated tool
Analyze, or edit the resulting image
Repack or replace TSH file for modding purposes

🔧 Known tools

The following tools are commonly used with TSH files:

TTGames Explorer Rebirth

⚠️ Notes & limitations

TSH is a proprietary format
The internal structure is not fully documented
Some variations may exist between different games or engine versions
Repack TSH files is not possible

🧩 Structure

Texture sheets are loaded through the Collectibles.txt file with the function LoadIconTPage. PermLoadCollectionIcons was also added along with it. In Version 11, the FourCC is 4CC.RESHTXSH instead of 4CC.TXSHTXSH, using the ResourceHeader FourCC. Each character is loaded by hashing their internal name. The hash is calculated using the 32bit Folwer Noll Vo hash in upper case which looks like this.

uint FNV1UPPER(string text)
{
  uint Hash = 0x811C9DC5;

  foreach (char c in text)
  {
    Hash = Hash * 0x01000193;
    Hash = Hash ^ c.ToUpper();
  }

  return Hash;
}

File Format

The file starts with a ResourceHeader.

Type	Data
u32	Blocksize
u64	`4CC.TXSH`
u32	`TXSH`
u32	Version
u32	VTOR (sometimes zeroes)
u32	Number of entries

Each image header contains cropping information in order to extract icons from the embeded DDS image.

Version 4 & Version 5

Type	Data	Description
Float	MinU
Float	MinV
Float	MaxU
Float	MaxV
u32	MinX

char[4]	FourCC	DXT compression type
u32	TrimTop
u32	TrimBottom
s32	TrimRight	Signed integer
s32	TrimLeft	Signed integer
u32	FNVHash

At the end of the headers, the DDS image starts.

Version 11

TTGames Explorer Rebirth

TTGames Explorer Rebirth is a versatile utility for exploring and extracting data from TTGames LEGO video games.
It’s an open‑source modding tool that provides support for a wide range of file formats used in these games, making it easier to inspect, extract, and work with in‑game assets.

🛠️ What it does

This tool lets you browse and extract various kinds of game data, including:

Archives like .dat, .fpk, .pac, .pak
Text files (.txt, .xml, .csv) with color‑coded viewing
Textures (.dds, .tex, and others) exportable as PNG
Audio files (.adp, .cbx, .mp3, .ogg) with playback and conversion
Fonts (.ft2) and texture sets (.tsh)
Shaders and models with preview support

It supports additional compression and encryption methods used by TTGames, such as LZ2K, Deflate, and RC4.

TTGames Explorer Rebirth is handy when you want to:

Extract files from proprietary game archives
Preview or extract textures, models, and audio
Read and reuse game text for localization or research
Dive deeper into game file structures without relying on many separate tools

It’s particularly useful if you want a single all‑in‑one explorer for many common formats in TTGames LEGO titles.

▶️ How to use

Download or clone the repository from GitHub.
Build/run the tool (e.g., using the provided binaries or building from source).
Open or navigate to the files or archives you want to inspect.
Use the UI to browse, preview, and extract assets as needed.

Because this tool supports many formats in one place, it’s often used early in a modding workflow to gather assets before further editing or conversion.
