How to open LMT file?

The most common problem when using RPG Maker 2000/2003 Map Tree is that a specific LMT is not associated with the program. This causes the file LMT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LMT 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 RPG Maker

In this case, you should first verify that the RPG Maker application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RPG Maker 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 LMT with RPG Maker. Below you will find a list of applications that support LMT files.

Programs to open LMT file

Remember to download programs supporting LMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of RPG Maker with LMT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LMT file to open in the RPG Maker application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LMT file with the RPG Maker program.

Step 3. Update RPG Maker to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the RPG Maker program, it is possible that RPG Maker 2000/2003 Map Tree requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Enterbrain, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LMT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The LMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LMT 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 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 LMT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LMT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LMT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LMT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Enterbrain, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LMT 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. If possible, you can try to move the LMT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LMT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LMT to close. 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.
