Working with Unreal Engine

You can find a detailed breakdown of working with FMOD for Unreal from our integration tutorial

For additional reference, here are the steps you’ll need to follow:

  1. Log in to www.fmod.com (creating an account is free & only requires an email)
  2. Download the FMOD for Unreal integration from Downloads Page. Make sure this matches the version that your Audio Team member is using exactly
  3. Before adding the integration, add our starter ignore to your repositories .gitignore
  4. Add the contents from the FMOD for Unreal zip to your Unreal project - [ProjectName]/Plugins/
  5. Add the banks supplied from the Audio Team to [ProjectName]/Content/FMOD/.
    Ensure the Platform names are included, for example [ProjectName]/Content/FMOD/Desktop
  6. Restart the Unreal editor to have UE generate the required .uassets

SVN Ignore setup

If using SVN, you’ll need to download the fmod_unreal_svn_ignore.txt file, put it in your project’s parent folder and run the following commands from that same folder:

svn propset svn:ignore -F fmod_unreal_svn_ignore.txt Content/FMOD
svn propset svn:ignore -F fmod_unreal_svn_ignore.txt "FMOD Project"
