Importing SoundBank Information into a Project

Before you can start creating and populating your packages, you need to import the SoundBank data that was created during SoundBank generation in Wwise. All this data is stored in the SoundbanksInfo.xml file, which is located in the platform folder of the GeneratedSoundBanks directory. Wwise generates a different SoundbanksInfo.xml file for each platform.

[Note] Generating the SoundbanksInfo.xml File

Within the Project Settings' or the SoundBanks Settings' SoundBanks tab, the Generate Metadata Files option should always be enabled. Additionally, you must enable the Generate XML Metadata option. With these set, Wwise generates the SoundbanksInfo.xml file whenever you successfully generate SoundBanks.

Each time a project is opened, the File Packager automatically reads the SoundbanksInfo.xml file to populate the Files to package view. If changes are made in Wwise to the SoundBank and streamed media files, inconsistencies between the two projects may result. If any files are missing, they will be marked as such and highlighted in red.

To import SoundBank information into a project:

  1. Open the File Packager.

  2. Click the Browse button beside the SoundBanks Info file field.

    The Windows Open dialog box opens.

  3. Navigate to the location of the SoundbanksInfo.xml file, select it, and click Open.

    All SoundBanks and streamed files are loaded into the Files to package view.

    [Note] Note

    By default, all SoundBanks and streamed media files are assigned to the Default.pck package file.
