Source Control Plug-ins

Introduction

Using this SDK you can create your own source control plug-ins to further expand the capabilities of Wwise.

This document is composed of two sections:

• How to Create a Source Control Plug-in DLL
  
• Installing Plug-ins
  

Concepts

The main goal of integrating a source control plug-in into Wwise is to speed up the user's work. In workplaces where work unit and audio files are kept in a source control system, people using Wwise must use source control system operations to edit files, keep files up-to-date, and submit changes. If you implement the source control plug-in to manage these files inside Wwise, your users can perform all these operations without switching to the source control application.

This source control plug-in SDK is designed to let Wwise users:

• Perform source control operations from the Project Explorer and File Manager dialogs
• Check the status of the files with Project Explorer file status icons and the File Manager status columns
• Use the Update All function on files to keep the whole project up-to-date
• Perform automatic source control operations when creating or modifying files (including actions such as saving the project, creating work units, and importing audio files)
• Configure the source control plug-in itself.

Please refer to the Wwise authoring tool's documentation for help on how to use plug-ins in Wwise.
