The main program that supports this format is TerraGen. This was created by Planetside Software.
How to open TGWORLD file?
The most common problem when using TerraGen World is that a specific TGWORLD is not associated with the program. This causes the file TGWORLD 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 TGWORLD 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TerraGen is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TerraGen into the system search engine. 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 TGWORLD.
Programs to open TGWORLD file
Remember to download programs supporting TGWORLD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TerraGen with TGWORLD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TGWORLD file to open in the TerraGen application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TerraGen application as the default for handling the TGWORLD file.
Step 3. Update TerraGen to the latest version
If, however, after binding TerraGen with TerraGen World 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 TGWORLD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TGWORLD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TGWORLD file. Sometimes virus-infected TGWORLD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TGWORLD file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TGWORLD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Planetside Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TGWORLD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TGWORLD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TGWORLD file again. However, some background programs may block the TGWORLD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
