  • Need help figuring out how to open this file

Need help understanding what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to open a .Skel file in spine in order to convert it to a Json, but it won't open and my log says this.

ERROR: Error importing skeleton:

    The error you're encountering when trying to open a .skel file in Spine suggests that there might be a version mismatch or an issue with the file format. It's important to ensure that the .skel file you are trying to import is compatible with the version of Spine you are using. If the .skel file was exported from a different version of Spine, you may need to use that specific version to import it. Once imported, you can save the project and then open it in a newer version of Spine to export it as JSON. Additionally, check if the .skel file is indeed in the correct binary format, as sometimes files might be mislabeled or corrupted.

    1167 Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I could not see clearly from the log what the cause was, so could you please email us the .skel file where the problem occurs so I can find out exactly what the cause is?: contact@esotericsoftware.com
