Working with content
Varwin RMS allows users to import and export content
Content types
Content means:
- .vwo - objects
- .vwst - scene templates
- .vwp - projects
- .vwpkg - Varwin packages
- .vwm - project metadata
- Resources
Objects and scene templates for Varwin are created by Unity developers. Projects can only be created in Varwin
Varwin packages
Packages can contain an arbitrary set of the above-mentioned files
Usually, theme packs are released containing objects and scene templates (and sometimes test projects), such as: astronomy, anatomy, city, etc
Project metadata
Project - the full project, including files of objects and scene templates
Project metadata - the structure of the project, excluding object files and scene templates
What does project metadata include:
- Author
- License
- Launch configuration
- List of scenes and objects
- Location of objects on the stage
- Versions of objects and scene templates
- Logic in blocks
- Tags
Therefore, in order to correctly import metadata, the recipient must have all the necessary objects and scene templates
- Objects and scene templates for the Varwin platform are created by Unity developers
- Projects can only be created in the Varwin platform
