What is a .VSND_TEMPLATE file?

.VSND_TEMPLATE is a Source 2 (Valve) file (Games). Analyser identifies a .VSND_TEMPLATE file and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.

Did you know
  • A .vsnd_template is the source template for a Source 2 sound (.vsnd) asset, expanded by the tools into the compiled version.
  • KeyValues, Valve's nested text format, runs through the whole engine, from configuration to asset definitions.
  • Source 2 stores most assets as human-readable text that its resource compiler turns into the packed binary the game loads.
What Analyser reads
Identify and read Valve Source 2 text assets from Deadlock (Citadel), Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2 and Half-Life: Alyx: the gameinfo.gi manifest (game, title, search-path mounts), KeyValues3 files (.kv3 / .vcfg - surfacing the KV3 encoding and format header), the editor templates (.vsnd_template sound events, .vnm_template node graphs, .mks_template sheets), tools UI (.vqlayout, .vsc colours, .qss Qt stylesheets), function-signature databases (.signatures) and text resource/UI layouts (.res, content-gated against binary Windows .res) - each with parsed metadata plus a source preview.
Depth of analysis
.VSND_TEMPLATE is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
