level.json: level configuration / entry data.
info.json: metadata for level selection, spawn points, Repository presentation, and related UI data.
main.materials.json: material definitions referencing textures.
main/items.level.json: scene object data saved by the World Editor.
/levels/YourMap: level domain (scene data, level-specific assets, metadata).
/levels/YourMap/art/...: level-specific materials, textures, meshes, decals, forest data, and prefabs.
/levels/YourMap/source: editable originals; keep these out of packaged releases.
Terrain: heightfield‑based ground.
DecalRoad: spline‑based projected road surface.
MeshRoad: spline‑based road that generates geometry.
Forest: instanced vegetation system.
TSStatic: standard static object class.
WaterPlane: water surface object.
Groundmodels: surface behavior linked to materials.
World Editor: in‑game level editing tool.
SpawnSphere: scene object used by info.json spawn point entries.
LevelInfo: level-wide fog, gravity, sound ambience, environment map, and map settings.
TimeOfDay / sky objects: time, sun, sky, cloud, and lighting setup.
Collada (.DAE): mesh exchange format used by the pipeline.
LOD (Level of Detail): simplified meshes used at distance.
Atlas: texture containing multiple elements to reduce draw calls.
Cubemap: texture used per material to provide reflections.
PNG: required texture format for this pipeline.
LOD: simplified mesh variant used at distance.
Impostor: far-distance representation for vegetation or repeated assets.
Draw call: one CPU submission to render a batch of geometry with a material/render state.
Overdraw: repeated shading of the same screen pixels, often caused by transparency, decals, or dense foliage.
