To convert other file formats to the "Game Script or Shader" file type, you need software like KiriKiri or a similar tool.
About VS files
The .VS file extension primarily denotes a scene script file used by visual novels running on the KiriKiri game engine. Additionally, developers frequently encounter .VS files as Vertex Shader source code written in HLSL for Microsoft Direct3D or GLSL for OpenGL. To view or edit shader .VS files, programmers rely on IDEs like Microsoft Visual Studio or text editors. Conversely, KiriKiri scene files are processed directly by the game engine during runtime. Users often need to convert .VS files to extract dialogue text for fan translations or to share shader code snippets. The major disadvantage of the .VS format is its extreme context-dependency. KiriKiri .VS files are proprietary, undocumented, and deeply tied to the game's .XP3 asset archives, making them useless in standard text processors. Shader files, while technically plain text, require a graphics compiler to function and confuse standard media players. For shaders, the most practical conversion targets are .TXT or .C for easy code sharing. For game scenes, parsing the file into .TXT or .JSON is necessary to read the dialogue, though all engine timing and visual triggers will be lost outside the game environment. This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because it is either proprietary game data or raw, uncompiled graphics instructions. Standard online converters fail because they expect standard document or media formats. Even if full conversion is blocked by proprietary engine limits, our analyzer can inspect the file and often extract the underlying plain text or code structure.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted IPYNB, TNK, UNTITLED_1 and MP4 files.
FAQ
If you want to convert VS file to OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL, PLY or WRL, you can use KiriKiri or similar software from the "Visual Novel Scene Script" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to VS, try KiriKiri or another comparable tool in the "Visual Novel Scene Script" category.
The VS Converter Story
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 VS converter.
