Template files are written in JSON format, which uses key-value pairs (much like Python dictionaries) to serialize data. You can read up on JSON .
Meta files are JSON files that contain metadata for a system (e.g author, name, license etc.) and are normally placed in a directory with a catalog.ax
file (read more on that here)
Template files can and should be edited! Any changes you need to add to the simulation, change the file!
Systems are generally named after their main body and the group the smaller bodies belong too (e.g earth-satellite.tmpl.ax
or jupiter-moons.tmpl.ax
) or just the system's objective in general (e.g rocket-launch.tmpl.ax
).
