How to open SRFMAP file?
The main problem with Terragen Map is that the SRFMAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SRFMAP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRFMAP 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 TerraGen
In this case, you should first verify that the TerraGen application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TerraGen in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SRFMAP files.
Programs to open SRFMAP file
Remember to download programs supporting SRFMAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TerraGen with SRFMAP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SRFMAP file still does not use the TerraGen program, it means no association. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TerraGen application as the default for handling the SRFMAP file.
Step 3. Update TerraGen to the latest version
If, however, after binding TerraGen with Terragen Map there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Planetside Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRFMAP 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SRFMAP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SRFMAP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SRFMAP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SRFMAP 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SRFMAP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Planetside Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SRFMAP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SRFMAP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SRFMAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SRFMAP 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.
