The .fxt file extension used for files containing the game texts. These files have two different meanings explained below.

GTA 1

GTA 1 used FXT files to store all the game texts. The original installation contained five .FXT files with different translations:

\GTADATA\ENGLISH.FXT
\GTADATA\FRENCH.FXT
\GTADATA\GERMAN.FXT
\GTADATA\ITALIAN.FXT
\GTADATA\SPECIAL.FXT

Since GTA 2 this format was replaced with the more advanced GXT format.

CLEO

GXTHook reintroduced FXT files (fxt stands for fake text table) to store text messages that are being displayed in game instead of the original ones. A new format was much simplier. A GXTHook's fxt file contains a list of plain text entries in the following format:

<GXTENTRY> <TEXT>

Since CLEO 4, GXTHook was built in the library, so now CLEO continues using FXT files in GTA 3, GTA VC, GTA SA.
