Editing Maps (section)

==File Info ==
Below will provide a short documentation of the various files you may see when downloading maps, and so you have a basic understanding of what they are before going through install instructions.

*'''map.wbox'''- New map format released in update 0.7.0, used for manual saves. Generates a '''''map.meta''''' file. When uncompressed the map.wbox is just a json file
*'''map.wbax''' - Map format used by autosaves. This format is not compressed, and you can edit it with any regular text editor.
*'''map.meta'''- Meta information that helps preview maps in-game. This file is generated with '''''map.wbox''''' files and is not necessary to share to other users for your map to work.
*'''map.json'''- Old map format prior to update [[0.7.0 - Crabs and Sorcery|0.7.0]]. This format still loads and run within worldbox, but will '''''not''''' have a '''''map.meta''''' file.
* '''preview.png''' - Image that shows in the save manager that gives a preview of what the map looks like. This file is optional, but without it the files will have a blank ocean background and may appear "empty" when they are not.
* '''preview_small.png''' - Image that shows in the save manager that gives a small preview of what the map looks like. This file is optional, it is only used when browsing worlds from the steam workshop.

Files can only be grouped like such with (o) denoting optional files:

*'''map.json''' and (o)'''preview.png''' <br>or
*'''map.wbox,''' (o)'''map.meta''', and (o)'''preview.png'''.
