Export

Export

Export produces a resource you can start, not a text file you then have to work out how to package.

Open it from the toolbar.

Scope — what gets exported

Name

The export name becomes the resource folder name, so it is sanitised as you type: lowercased, spaces and hyphens to underscores, anything else stripped, cannot start with a digit, 48 characters maximum. Minimum two characters.

Formats

YMAP / XML — CodeWalker

A CodeWalker-compatible .ymap, plus everything needed to run it.

Saved on the server to aty_mapeditor/exports/<name>/:

<name>/
├── fxmanifest.lua        this_is_a_map 'yes'
└── stream/
    └── <name>.ymap

Downloaded in your browser: the .ymap on its own, for opening in CodeWalker.

Copy the folder into your resources, ensure <name>, and the map streams.

Entity guids are derived from the prop itself, so re-exporting the same map produces the same file instead of a diff full of new random numbers.

Model List

A plain text list of every model used, one per line. What you hand to whoever is preparing a stream folder — it answers "which models does this map need".

Lua Resource

A complete client-side resource that creates every prop at runtime.

<name>/
├── fxmanifest.lua
└── props.lua

Carries everything: peds, vehicles, vehicle customization, lights, scale, features, custom names. Use this when the map has to keep its non-static entities.

Blender Python

A script that recreates the layout in Blender — empties at each position with the right rotation and scale. For planning, previewing and screenshots outside the game.

JSON

The full-fidelity format. This is what the editor reads back, so it round-trips: model, custom name, layer, position, rotation, scale and the complete feature table.

Use JSON for backups, for moving a map between servers, and for anything you intend to re-import.

Where files go

Server-saved exports land in aty_mapeditor/exports/. Paths are sanitised server-side: no parent-directory traversal, no absolute paths, and only these extensions are written — ymap, xml, lua, json, py, txt. Limits are Config.Permission.MaxExportFiles (8) and MaxExportBytesPerFile (~5 MB).

Your browser also downloads the primary file, so you have a copy without touching the server filesystem.

Copy

Copy puts the generated output on your clipboard. For pasting into a script, a message or an editor without going near the server.
