What is a VES file

VES files mostly belong to Pro Pilkki 2. VES files come in two main types.

Game Data Format: Some VES files are used by the Pro Pilkki 2 fishing game. They store in-game assets and configuration data. The game engine reads these files directly, and they are not meant for manual editing.

Compressed SQL Archive: Other VES files are compressed SQL data files that use the CAP internal format. They are part of tools by Visual Expert, meant for auditing or transferring SQL data. For details about this tool, visit the Visual Expert webpage.

FilExt.com tips: Both types share the same file extension but serve different functions. Use the correct application to view or edit the file. For game data, launch Pro Pilkki 2; for SQL archives, use Visual Expert or a similar decompression tool to access the database information.

How to open a VES file

You need a suitable software like Pro Pilkki 2 to open a VES file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VES file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VES file directly in the browser:.

VES file format details:

To view or edit VES files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our examination of the VES files comes to the following conclusion:

VES is rarely used as a file extension and includes different formats for the applicable programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

40% of all VES files save the data in CAP file format. CAP files are compressed archives. The first bytes (the signature) are 'MSCF' (short for MicroSoft Cabinet File). These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. A typical file size is 24 KB. It is a modern file type. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as MSCF, transfer.sql and auditoria.text. Some examples of file names are DEPTOSESTR_2024.ves. Such VES files store data about form.
35% of all VES files start with the bytes Pro Pilkki datafile v002 Copyright Procyon Products, which are crucial for this file format. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. A typical file size is 850 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <OBJECT_POSITIONS>, Copyright Procyon Products and Pro Pilkki datafile v002. Examples of file names are haapolahti.ves or lokkiluoto.ves. Such VES files store data about kivijoki.

All the rest of the VES files (25%) have different formats. If you want to find out what your VES file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
