Game File Types and Associations

Users can find the game's different file types with descriptions below:

• SCENE Files - similar to a prefab and holds information about in-game objects all the way from models, behaviors to audio, particle effects and more.
  • ENTITY - the MBIN that defines interactions and behaviors of objects.
    • Properties allowed within the ENTITY file
    • Actions and Triggers
  • GEOMETRY - the format in which 3D models are stored in
  • MATERIAL files - defines the texture maps and shader flags to be used
  • DESCRIPTOR files - handles the nested hierarchies of procedural generation in-game
  • ANIM (Animation) files - (minimal research on this currently)
  • LSYSTEM - a facet of procedural generation that introduces more control with custom rule sets on procedural objects in-game, such as how outposts with enterable interiors are generated (needs more research)
• TEXTURES
  • TEXTURE MBIN Files
  • NMS texture formats
