Open TBL File

A file with the TBL extension is a type of table file used by StarCraft, a real-time strategy game in which players control units such as Terran, Zerg, or Protoss races.

StarCraft is developed by Blizzard Entertainment whose base is military sci-fi real-time strategy.

The first game in the StarCraft series was released for Microsoft Windows on March 31, 1998.

It is one of the best-selling PC games in the world, until its last edition in 2009, although it was later ported to video game consoles and portable equipment.

The TBL file contains text descriptions for game labels, such as unit names, and is also used as a lookup table to display the text during gameplay.

TBL files are commonly used to create "mods" for StarCraft game content and can be modified using a variety of editors.

They can often be found within MPQ format and extension files under the name stat_txt.tbl.
