What is VMAP file?
The VMAP file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Mangos Foundation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. ManGoS is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The MaNGOS application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Mangos Foundation.
How to open VMAP file?
The main problem with ManGoS is that the VMAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VMAP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VMAP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install MaNGOS
In this case, you should first verify that the MaNGOS application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MaNGOS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VMAP with MaNGOS. Below is a list of programs that support the file VMAP.
Programs to open VMAP file
Remember to download programs supporting VMAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MaNGOS with VMAP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VMAP file still does not use the MaNGOS program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VMAP file with the MaNGOS program.
Step 3. Update MaNGOS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MaNGOS program with the ManGoS file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mangos Foundation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMAP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VMAP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VMAP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VMAP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VMAP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VMAP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mangos Foundation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VMAP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the VMAP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VMAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
