Extract text from NoLimits scripts (NLVM)
To convert NLVM scripts to another format, you need NoLimits 2 or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Simulation Script File" file type, you need software like NoLimits 2 or a similar tool.
A .nlvm file is a plain text script used by the NoLimits 2 Roller Coaster Simulation software. It contains custom object-oriented programming code that controls ride triggers, sounds, and environmental animations within the game engine.
Because .nlvm is a niche proprietary format, Windows and macOS do not know how to open it by default. Double-clicking it usually throws an 'unrecognized format' error. The code itself is highly specialized for the simulator, making it difficult to read or review outside of a dedicated development environment. Users often need to share these scripts on forums or print them for debugging, which requires converting them into a standard format.
The best workaround is to convert .nlvm files to TXT, JAVA, or PDF. Converting to JAVA is especially useful because the NoLimits Virtual Machine language is nearly identical to Java, allowing developers to use standard syntax highlighting. Because this extension is obscure, most online converters will reject it outright.

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 NLVM converter.
