Extract text from FNF scripts and Echoview projects (EV)
To convert EV scripts and projects to another format, you need Friday Night Funkin' or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Event Script" file type, you need software like Friday Night Funkin' or a similar tool.
An .EV file generally serves as either a Game Event Script for the rhythm game Friday Night Funkin', a complex Echoview File for hydroacoustic data analysis developed by Echoview Software (formerly Myriax), or a legacy 3D Animation Data File for the Emergent Viewer engine.
These formats present massive challenges for typical users. Echoview files contain dense, proprietary binary data representing sonar logs and require an expensive, specialized software license to open. Friday Night Funkin' event scripts are tied directly to the game's internal logic engine. As a result, standard web browsers and typical document editors cannot read or process these files. They are closed, proprietary formats, which explains why standard online converters fail to process them - they simply lack the specific parsing engines needed to decode sonar data or niche game events.
Converting an .EV file heavily depends on its origin. If you have an Echoview project, you must use the native software to export your data to universally readable formats like CSV or TXT. If it is a game script, it may contain plain text or JSON-structured data under the hood, making it possible to convert to TXT or JSON.
Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. While full conversion of proprietary binaries is extremely difficult, our tool can inspect the file's internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing text or extracting raw data may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MP4, EV6, NM, J, V and K files.
If you want to convert EV file to NM, J, V, K, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI or CFG, you can use Friday Night Funkin' or similar software from the "Game Event Scripting" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to EV, try Friday Night Funkin' or another comparable tool in the "Game Event Scripting" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EV converter.
