SPR Conview invalid pointer operation

[Spheres]

Hey there, me again .

I've been working with sprites and i figured id be trying to recolor sprites, i eventually came up to this particular item called Zoro Swords or also known as Ancient Samurai Swords.
Problem is no matter what i try, using SPR Conview, actor, actor2, renaming it, placing it on my desktop even it won't open it just says "error opening file.....", when i try to convert .spr to .bmp it gives the the error "invalid pointer operation".
Also it gives the following error when i try to press okay, it gets stuck on this error so clicking it away will just pop it back up:


I will include the Accessory sprites  so you guys can take a look.
Please guide me on how i can fix this issue ( i don't want to just download it from somewhere else i want to be able to fix it myself ).

I really would appreciate the help.

 

~ I know i can get them from http://spriterepository.com/index.php?/files/file/139-zoro-swords/ but it wouldn't help me resolve issues with the ones i can no longer find.

I've just tried it and I'm getting the same errors. 

I have the feeling the .spr file is either broken, corrupted or encrypted. I'm not sure if that can be fixed.

 

I'll be following the topic in case someone has a solution - might be useful later.

Both of these are empty files, with 0 byte size. Try to extract them again (it's possible they're also simply encrypted, which makes their content impossible to extract).

This sprite seems to be protected. How did you get this sprite?
You should re-download the whole thing from spriterepository.

Hmm apparently the person who let me use the sprites he had on his server went beserk with encrypting over half his files .
Thanks for the help though, i guess i'll have to search / download the files that were encrypted.
Good to know that it's encrypted, means it cannot be fixed ( at least not without knowing the encryption pattern if i'm not mistaken ).
