Setting up a project structure

The sound system is composed of several projects. Each project is a well-defined set of sound events. These events can be structured into event groups and independently added to a category. A project must first be exported for it to be loaded into the event system, and only then can one of its events be played. The build project step generates an event datafile and several wavebanks.

Note

CryENGINE does not allow for nested project folders (for example, folder1/folder2/fmodproject.fdp), so you must always use one folder per project to avoid project files not being recognized in the CryENGINE.

Event grouping

An event group holds several sound events. The workflow for a designer is straightforward as he/she organizes similar events into a group. The programmer can then preload all sound data of a specific group or free the data of a group if its events are no longer needed for saving valuable memory.

Using categories

A category is part of a hierarchical structure,...
