VP files

(1/1)

ShivanSlayer:
I downloaded JustinMind to open the music files and see if I could listen to them, namely the Freespace 1 victory theme, but JustinMind says the files will not open

The E:
Whatever this JustinMind thing is, it's not the correct tool for the job. You need one of the VP tools listed here in order to open them.

EDIT:
Assuming I have the right thing, JustinMind is ... a prototyping tool for websites that apparently uses .vp as the file extension for its own proprietary file format? Weird coincidence, that, but nothing more.

ShivanSlayer:
Google told me JustInMInd is the only thing that can open VP files, but through QuickVP, I gained access

The E:
Google is great, I use it all the time, but blindly trusting its search results is not recommended. When you google "how do I open .vp files" and the first result is for a web authoring tool, that should be a signal that the result may not be what you're actually looking for; changing the query to "how do I open freespace vp files" does lead you to the right address though.

DefCynodont119:
Note for anyone reading this who's looking to open Freespace VP files, VPview32: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/VPView32 and QuickVP: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/QuickVP are both great tools for this.
