How to open GMSPR file?
The main problem with Game Maker Sprite Format is that the GMSPR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GMSPR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GMSPR 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 GameMaker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GameMaker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GameMaker into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GMSPR with GameMaker. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GMSPR files.
Programs to open GMSPR file
Remember to download programs supporting GMSPR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GameMaker with GMSPR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GMSPR file still does not use the GameMaker program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GMSPR file with the GameMaker program.
Step 3. Update GameMaker to the latest version
If, however, after binding GameMaker with Game Maker Sprite Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GMSPR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 GMSPR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GMSPR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GMSPR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GMSPR files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GMSPR file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GMSPR 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the GMSPR 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GMSPR file again. However, some background programs may block the GMSPR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
