Cannot Generate Soundbanks using Wwise 2024.1.4 on Mac

Question

I'm trying to complete Module 18 of the Wwise Fundamentals course however I am unable to generate the necessary soundbanks. Every time I try I get these messages:

I'm really unsure how to progress here - how do I ensure that the file is writable? The header path seems to be correct but I'm not entirely certain.

 

Thanks

no real solution here but wanted to chime in that I'm having a similar isssue currently. Same module and everything too lol.

I'm working on Windows though. I'll post again if I find a solution

EDIT: found a fix for myself--in short, I realized I needed to manually set the folder paths for "Root Output Path" and "SoundBank Paths > Soundbank Folder"

First, for the DCP_the_core, Main, and Init .bnk files, and the SoundbanksInfo PlatformInfo, PluginInfo .xmls, I made sure the folder for the SoundBank Paths were set correctly for both platforms. For me, it's here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Cube2024.1.4.8780\Cube\cube\soundbanks\Windows

Not sure how the Cube project differs on Mac, so I'd just double check that your paths are set properly for wherever you're wanting to generate those files.

Second, for the ProjectInfo.xml and Wwise_IDs.h files, I realized that the "Root Output Path" isn't set automatically by the Wwise project, so I had to set that manually as well. Again, for me it was here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\WwiseFundamentals2024.1.4.99\Module 19\Wwise Project Lesson 19\GeneratedSoundBanks

I manually created the "GeneratedSoundBanks" folder in the larger Wwise project folder myself, so you might want to do that as well
