How to open STWM file?
The main problem with SuperTux World Map Format is that the STWM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file STWM 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 STWM 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 SuperTux
In this case, you should first verify that the SuperTux application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SuperTux in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support STWM files.
Programs to open STWM file
Remember to download programs supporting STWM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SuperTux with STWM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the STWM file still does not use the SuperTux program, it means no association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SuperTux application as the default for handling the STWM file.
Step 3. Update SuperTux to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SuperTux program with the SuperTux World Map Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STWM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The STWM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the STWM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STWM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected STWM 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 STWM files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged STWM files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file STWM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the STWM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 STWM file again. However, some background programs may block the STWM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
