Saving a leadwerks map as an ultra scene let the terrain layers disappear

If you load a leadwerks map with a terrain (lets say the-zone.map) , resave it as a .ultra map and reload the saved ultra scene, then the terrain layers are there, but all shown as empty. I assume that might be as the materials for these layers are generated on the fly by the leadwerks map loader (you can see that, if you try to edit a layer material in the imported leadwerks map) and the new scene can't find the materials.

Yes, you are correct. Leadwerks maps store terrain textures. Ultra maps store terrain materials. When a Leadwerks map is loaded a material is created, but there is no material path to save in the Ultra map file...

Let me think about this...

Okay, if the texture does not have a file path it just gets embedded in the map file.

The flexibility of the JSON format is nice, but I have to be careful not to be too loose with how data is stored.

An update is available now, only works in the editor right now.
