[Tutorial] SDK: Importing Sounds

[NodSaibot]

Importing sound into the SDK is quite simple. However, there are a few requirements. The sound file you are importing MUST be 16-bit & be a wav file. If your sound file is not 16-bit or a wav file, you can easily convert it using Audacity, which is a free audio editing program. 

 

To being importing, open the content browser and click import.

The rest is pretty self explanatory, set the package, group name and name.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the sound class of the SoundCue after importing. If you do not set a class, it will not be affected by volume sliders in-game. Right click the cue and open the sound cue editor. The class is the first thing. You can find a list of valid sound classes below.
