Saving modified .map files can not be reloaded

[klepto2]

When i load a leadwerks map file, modify it (maybe also without modifiing it) and save it under the same name, it can't be reloaded.

Yeah, I noticed this. I need to make it trigger a file name change because it's not supposed to save map files.

Maybe have the asset browser also prompt for a name change when the user saves other Leadwerks assets.

Fixed.

Also added this.

Another option (which would be IMHO more convenient) would be to add Import and Eport menues. This way you can later support multiple map formats without breaking the original save and save as workflow. 

Load/Save/Save as -> only for UltraEngine files

Import/Export -> reserved for plugins or fixed imports/exports in the engine.

Hmmm...I still have not made up my mind. What is our "native" texture format? DDS, Basis, or KTX2?

[klepto2]

Maybe just simple: provide all 3 and just make a default setting in the editor. This way the user can choose which he prefers.

I assumed it was DDS for traditional games, basis for simulations, and ktx for if Ultra runs on something like the quest.

The question I've ran into is what is the best modeling format since gltf is technically 3 formats.

DDS if you only want to run on PC. Basis if you want to run natively on Oculus Quest in the future.

For glTF, use glTF + bin file, with external textures. You should store textures in PNG and DDS / Basis so you can load the models back into a modeling program.

I still see DDS as the engine's native texture format as you don't need a plugin to load such textures.
