What is OMT file?
The file in the OMT format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is Open Channel Software. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. SITH HLA Object Model Template is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use SITH to handle this file. This is a program created by Open Channel Software.
How to open OMT file?
An often recurring problem with SITH HLA Object Model Template is that OMT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file OMT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OMT 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 SITH
The first step is to check if the computer has the SITH program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SITH in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file OMT.
Programs to open OMT file
Remember to download programs supporting OMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SITH with OMT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OMT file to open in the SITH application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 OMT file with the SITH program.
Step 3. Update SITH to the latest version
If, however, after binding SITH with SITH HLA Object Model Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Open Channel Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OMT 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:
The OMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OMT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OMT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OMT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OMT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OMT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Open Channel Software, 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 OMT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move OMT to a different directory.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OMT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OMT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
