Game export – Ylands

Overview

As of 0.12, Genesys projects (games made in Editor) cannot be played from Main menu directly any more. Before doing so, game has to exported from Editor. In similar fashion, before uploading a game to Workshop, the game has to be exported.

Local export → creates /updates local playable version of Genesys project. Workshop export → creates / updates workshop version of Genesys project. In this export process, two things are happening:

The game template (actual game file) is created → new *.ygt file will appear. The game is optimized and "support data" are created → new *.ysd file will appear. During local export, these files will be stored stored in [local account]\Share\Games

Show in folder button can be used to view "local files" (*.ysd + *.ygt). During workshop export, these files will be packed in to a *.yca file and uploaded to Workshop automatically. There ought to be no need to upload *.yca manually.
