Managing Worlds

UnigineEditor provides an ability to create new worlds, load or reload existing ones and save them if any changes are made.

To create a new world via UnigineEditor:

1. Click File -> Create New World on the Menu bar, or press CTRL + N.

After that, two new files will be created in the target folder:

• newworld.world - an XML file containing rendering settings of the created world.
• newworld.cpp - a world script file.
