Packages
Bundle scenarios, characters, memory books and assets into one shareable file.
A content package bundles related resources into a single file: scenarios, characters, memory books, collections, and the assets they use.
A resource belongs to one package at a time, and deleting a package deletes everything in it. Move resources out first if you want to keep them.
When you need one
- Sharing a multi-resource setup. Scenario + characters + memory book, one file.
- Shipping assets. Images, audio and animations only travel inside a package — a bare resource exports without them.
- Shipping a VAM scene, where the plugin auto-installs the resources on a fresh server.
Building one
Create a package from Studio → Packages, and give it a name, version, creator and description.
Add resources either way round: create them from inside the package, or open an existing resource and set its Package field.
Pick a thumbnail on the Overview tab.
Overview fields
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name, version, creator, description | Package identity, shown wherever it's listed. |
| Thumbnail | The image representing the package. |
| Folder | Where it sits in your library. |
| App-controlled | Lets the app overwrite this package when an update is available. |
| Locked | Blocks all modification to the package and its resources. |
Export
.voxpak is the format to share. It is what the Download button produces, and the only one that
handles everything a package can hold.
A .voxpak is a real container, not an archive Voxta unpacks on import: resources serve their assets
straight out of the pack. A twenty-gigabyte package costs nothing to import and never lands on disk as
loose files. It is also the only format that can be encrypted or carry protected assets.
The other formats are for specific jobs:
| Format | When to use |
|---|---|
.voxpak | Everything. The default, and the one to hand someone. |
.png | Virt-A-Mate scenes — the data rides inside the image so VAM's Package Builder picks it up. Needs a package thumbnail. |
.zip | Inspecting or hand-editing the contents as plain files. Not a distribution format. |
.voxpkg and .vxz are the older zip-based packages. Voxta still imports them; nothing produces them
any more.
Publish
Publish makes a .voxpak like the download does, with two differences:
- Its assets are protected — whoever imports it can use them, but can't export or copy them back out.
- The package is encrypted, so its contents aren't sitting in a folder as loose files.
Use it for content you're licensed to embed but not redistribute. Your own copy is untouched and stays
editable. A protected package can only leave as a .voxpak; PNG and ZIP export are disabled for it.
With a Cloud Storage service configured, Save to Cloud Storage uploads the pack instead of downloading it.
