Where is scene data stored?
Hello, I've encountered some issues with version controlling a project because I'm not sure which binary files are for what (cache files, metadata etc). In particular I've noticed I cannot simply send a scene file to another person; because the level data does not appear to transfer with it (objects are not placed appropriately for the other person). I would like to know what files contain scene relevant data and where they are. Thank you for your time and knowledge!

If you just want to send someone a file, export the Scene as a package and send them that.
Well, its not just sending a file, we are using $$anonymous$$ercurial and Bitbucket for version control. But I think the links you left should do the trick. Thank you!
Good. I highly recommend at least using the meta file method, if not the Asset Server. Will save you a ton of headaches. BTW please mark this as 'answered' with the checkmark to the left. Thanks.
I am using the meta file method as described in your first link. The only thing I didn't feel comfortable doing was deleting the library from the repository. Oh and sorry about the answered button, I tried before to 'thumbs up' it, which I was not able to. Did not realize the check was what I wanted. Thanks again!
