What is a DDJ file?

A .DDJ file is a SilkRoad Image file.

SilkRoad Image files store game textures for Silkroad Online, used by its engine to display characters, environment surfaces, items and UI elements. They are proprietary textures maintained in the game's asset archives. These images allow efficient rendering in the game but are not standard image formats usable without conversion.

The files are produced by Joymax as part of Silkroad Online's asset pipeline. They are placed inside PK2 archives along with other game resources, and the game engine loads them at runtime as textures. Game modders often convert them into more common texture formats (such as DDS) in order to view or edit them, then convert back in order to repackage into the game's archives for the game engine to use. Conversion tools typically preserve original compression and mipmaps when going to/from DDS.

These images use a custom header beginning with a Joymax signature. The first bytes are "JMXVDDJ " starting at offset zero. That prefix ("JMXV") plus format ID ("DDJ ") identify the file.
