Hello, I followed the guide on FMOD documentation page to setup the p4ignore: # FMod Content */Content/FMod/Banks */Content/FMod/Buses */Content/FMod/Events */Content/FMod/PrivateIntegrationData */Content/FMod/Reverbs */Content/FMod/Snapshots */Content/FMod/VCAs # FMod Plugin, override ignore aka…

Hi, Thank you for the detailed post. The issue may be that the paths in your project are /Game/FMOD/Events while the .p4ignore path is */Content/FMod/Banks. If this path is updated does the issue persist?

Hello Connor, Thank you for your reply. If I change the path to /Game/FMOD/Events, it may fix the editor, but it will affect tracking done through perforce directly, i.e., checking out files through the perforce visual client. Are you suggesting that we add both lines to the .p4ignore?

I think the files in the .p4ignore need to exactly match the files that you want to be ignored. If you try to check out files in the visual client that are part of the p4ignore list you should see a similar error: [image] HelixCore Docs | Managing Fiels - Ignore files with P4IGNORE . Please let m…

The screenshot in the original post with the path “/Game/FMOD/Events” looks misleading but its not, as Unreal automatically shows asset paths relative to the project root. Unreal Editor shows file paths under Content folder as " /Game/* " It is how the editor was made. The original issue only happ…

Thank you for the information. I created a test project and added the FMOD integration with the following ignore file ###################### ## FMOD Integration ## ###################### UETest/Plugins/FMODStudio !UETest/Plugins/FMODStudio/Binaries !UETest/Plugins/FMODStudio/Content !UETest/Plugin…

I’ve been experiencing this issue for a long while, thought it was just me doing something wrong but it appears not. @Connor_FMOD After you set UETest/Content/FMOD in the ignore, did you reopen Unreal? Whenever I try I end up with unreal trying to mark the generated files for add. That happens with…

Hi, Thank you for the information. Even in UE I am not seeing any of the events being marked for addition. Would it be possible to see your .p4ignore file and the events being added to a change list in UE?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Thats strange you don’t see them get marked for add, did you open the Events folders and look at the files? If you don’t have those folders open when you open the project they don’t get added. As soon as you start looking in any of the FMOD related folders …

Thank you for the screenshot and the ignore file. I noticed my ignored files are marked with a ? in the UE editor: [image] Do you see the same? When I try to manually add an event I see the following error in the logs: SourceControl: Error: CommandMessage Command: MarkForAdd, Error: C:\Source\sc…

I was seeing ? at one point but similar to the OP here they still showed up in the change list after clicking on Submit in UE. For some reason now they are all immediately showing + symbols and being marked for add. No matter what I put in my ignore file. If I go into the change list in unreal and …
