FIFA 2001 Data Environment Format | EA Sports | Game Files |
RAV (Record Archive Verification) is a .rav file extension used by EA Sports FIFA 2001 for storing the data environment. It is a single file that contains two parts, the record definitions and the environment setup. It includes records such as teams, leagues, players, clubs, competitions, stadiums and referees.
Record definitions include all the information stored in the records of the environment, including their fields, types and permission levels for each field. Environment setup on the other hand consists of all environmental settings such as scene settings, time settings, sound settings, etc. Each field in record definitions is represented by an environment symbol and by setting the appropriate attributes for each symbol its value can be modified.
Usage
FIFA 2001 uses RAV files to store data in the game's database. They are used to manage lists, databases and histories which the game uses to store various information and settings. RAV files can be edited manually with text editors but it is recommended to use specialized software for editing purposes such as Notepad++ or Sublime Text. Other similar file extensions include .rar, .rvf, .ufo, zipped.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RAV) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RAV extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RAV file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RAV extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RAV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RAV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RAV file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RAV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RAV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RAV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
