Extract text from Texture and Verilog files (VO)
To convert VO Data files to another format, you need Starling Framework or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Asset Data" file type, you need software like Starling Framework or a similar tool.
The .VO file extension primarily identifies a Game Texture Sheet Data file associated with the Cekkorr Starling Framework. These files act as coordinate maps (texture atlases) that tell the game engine exactly where specific sprite images are located within a larger texture sheet. Unlike standard images, a .VO file contains metadata - coordinates, dimensions, and frame names - rather than pixel data. Users often encounter these when modding games or unpacking assets, only to find they cannot "view" the graphics directly. The file is essentially a proprietary data map, often XML or JSON-based under the hood, but locked to the specific engine version.
In the field of electronic design automation (EDA), .VO also represents a Verilog HDL Output File generated by Intel Quartus Prime (formerly Altera). This text-based netlist contains the synthesized logic of a digital circuit, used for simulation in tools like ModelSim. The friction here is that while human-readable, the file is verbose and complex, designed for compilers rather than humans. For game assets, the best conversion strategy is transforming the data into readable XML, JSON, or converting the associated texture image to PNG for viewing. For Verilog users, converting to PDF is common for documentation, or TXT for quick code review without opening the heavy EDA suite.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted AFB, KDT and TCD files.
If you want to convert VO file to , you can use Starling Framework or similar software from the "Game Texture Sheet Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to VO, try Starling Framework or another comparable tool in the "Game Texture Sheet Data" 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 VO converter.
