Programs to open BMODEL file
Remember to download programs supporting BMODEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DooM Resources Explorer with BMODEL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BMODEL file to open in the DooM Resources Explorer application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DooM Resources Explorer application as the default for handling the BMODEL file.
Step 3. Update DooM Resources Explorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DooM Resources Explorer program, it is possible that Id Tech 6 Model Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMODEL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to BMODEL 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BMODEL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BMODEL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BMODEL file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BMODEL files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BMODEL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BMODEL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BMODEL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
