LoadMap does not load saved in program code map and even remove light

After save:

Light stays in last build. Debugged a bit and i found out that scene have an entities after a load but they are invisible for unknown reason.

[Josh]

I do not understand what the purpose of scene0 in the above example is. I changed the code and it now works as I would expect.

The scene file format currently does not embed procedurally created model geometry into files. All models must be loaded from a file. This might be something we change in the future, but for now that is part of the design.

    auto framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(window);

    //Create a camera    
    auto camera = CreateCamera(world);
    camera->SetClearColor(0.125);
    camera->SetPosition(0, 1, -4);

    //Create light
    auto light = CreateBoxLight(world);
    light->SetRange(-10, 10);
    light->SetArea(15, 15);
    light->SetRotation(45, 35, 0);
    light->SetColor(2);

    //Create the ground
    auto ground = CreateBox(world, 20, 1, 20);
    ground->SetPosition(0, -0.5, 0);
    ground->SetColor(0, 1, 0);

By saving nothing?

If i change boxes to brushes, they fall through ground brush but now being saved, but lightning is broken after load.

Before load:

Reload does not restore deleted entities and don't delete that were added after a save. All those entities in same reloaded scene

[Josh]

I think we probably need a flag or save command that saves the state of objects without resaving the brush and other data. It seems like saving a scene is not exactly like saving a scene...

What I meant to say is that saving a game state is not exactly the same thing as saving a scene. 

[Josh]

Coming back to this now. I am testing this code and after I press S and then R, there is no visible change. Is there still an error in this behavior?

Reload on R. Load on Space. But now in this example scene can't be loaded from saved file O_o 

In console "Error: Failed to load scene..."

[Josh]

Okay, the LoadScene function doesn't know what a .sav file is, but if you change it to .map the space key will cause the scene to be loaded:

WString filePath = GetPath(PATH_DESKTOP) + "/game.map";

I see the areas outside the box light turn black. It looks like the ambient light level is 0.25 by default, but 0,0,0 is being saved to the scene file:

		"environment": {
			"ambientlight": [
				0.0,
				0.0,
				0.0
			],
			"fog": false,
			"fogangle": [
				0.0,
				15.0
			],
			"fogcolor": [
				1.0,
				1.0,
				1.0,
				1.0
			],
			"fogrange": [
				0.0,
				1000.0
			],
			"gitransmission": 2.0,
			"iblintensity": 1.0,
			"sunangle": [
				0.0,
				0.0
			],
			"suncolor": [
				0.0,
				0.0,
				0.0
			]
		}

Is that the only thing wrong? Reload should not restore deleted entities, but LoadScene will.

In terms of bugs, i think so

[Josh]

Okay, I need to redo how the editor world settings are stored. The way I did it is a little weird, and it doesn't translate well into game saving / loading...
