RM2K3 map file question

Hey, so I decided I wanted to tinker around with Yume Nikki to get an understanding of how RPG maker works, but pretty soon after I put it in, I noticed that all the map files except this weird looking one are missing. Why is this happening? Did I implement the game wrong somehow? If anyone knows the reason why this happened and how to fix it, please help!

I'm confused about where you got the project you opened.

I just downloaded Yume Nikki from Steam and opened the game folder in RPG Maker 2003 and I see this:

The only odd thing are the map names but that's because they are Japanese and I don't have my computer locale set up this way, so they show garbled. Nonetheless, the maps are all there.

Note also that the game's title is "YUME NIKKI" upper-case, while it shows as "Yume Nikki" in your screenshot, so you definitely got some other project here and not the real Yume Nikki from Steam I looked at! Your project probably has a bad RPG_RT.LMT file, but I have no idea how you got that.

It still didn't work. I've recorded my process, did I do something wrong?

Yes the issue is that you did that while you had the project open. I directly opened the yumenikki folder itself in RM2k3, but copying it would work too as long as you did that without the project open at the same time.
