Strings file not generated for new banks

FMOD Studio
1

I’m new to fmod and I’m trying to integrate it into our project.

  1. I created a new project
  2. Created new bank
  3. Added new event with single sound, assigned to the new bank
  4. Save, build
  5. Bank file is generated, strings.bank is not generated but for the default Master bank there are both files even if the bank is empty

If I delete master and create it again, strings.bank is also missing. I also tried to add some parameters to the event, it did not help.

The behavior you describe is expected and intended: A strings.bank file is only generated when you build a master bank.

This is because the strings.bank is meant to be handled in much the same way as your master bank: It contains data that’s relevant to your whole project (i.e.: the GUIDs and paths of every event in your project), not just the content of a specific bank. It’s meant to be loaded when you start your game, and to remain loaded as long as your game is running.
