Volition Package File

Uncompressed file archive created in the Volition Package (VP) format; contains a collection of files, such as game graphics and other resources; allows game developers to bundle multiple files together while maintaining an accessible directory structure.

The Volition Package format was created as part of the Descent Manager Tools (DMTOOLS) suite, which is a set of utilities for Descent 1-3 and FreeSpace 1-2. Descent and FreeSpace are computer games where players control ships in outer space.

Justinmind Prototype File

A VP file contains an application prototype created by Justinmind, a prototyping tool for web and mobile applications. It stores information about a prototype, which includes the design of the application and interactive components, such as dropdown menus and sliders, that can be tested by developers or clients.

You will most likely only encounter a VP file if you are a web or mobile app developer and using Justinmind to create the prototype of an app. The Justinmind tool is utilized by both beginning and advanced developers for quick prototyping as it provides various widgets filled with components that can be dragged and dropped to design the prototype.

Justinmind comes packaged with default widgets but you can add additional widgets through the program. Some examples of widgets available with Justinmind include:

When you save your prototype for the first time, Justinmind creates a VP file to store all of the information about the prototype. To save a VP file with Justinmind, select File → Save .

You can also export a VP file with Justinmind to share a prototype in a format other than the VP file type, such as .DOCX and .HTML . To export a prototype with Justinmind, select the specific export option from the File menu.

Prototype1.vp - Default name given to new VP files created with Justinmind.

You can only open VP files with Justinmind. To open the VP file, simply select File → Open . You can also drag and drop the VP file into Justinmind, or double-click the VP file to open the prototype.
