Convolution Plugin - Does it come bundled already?

[smksnutmeg]

Was checking the readme (https://github.com/alessandrofama/wwise-godot-integration/blob/9475248de190576bec4a6fe3fa2f2ed660b034f0/wwise-gdnative/README.md), do I need to build the binaries myself to include the 'convolution' plugin or does it come bundled with the latest release? We are having issues getting convolution to work in our game project (we have a trial of the plugin bundled with the soundbank)

scons target=release platform=windows wwise_sdk="%WWISESDK% plugins=convolution

[alessandrofama]

We don't include Convolution by default, since it is not a stock plugin.

You would need to build the binaries yourself and include the convolution plugin like in the example command you posted. Do you need any help with that?

Aha this now makes sense! I am going to give it a try and come back to you if I have any issues! Thank you!

Is there a user friendly guide on all the steps required that I can follow? I see there is a pre-requisite to building the original Godot bindings.

[smks]

I'll start here
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/development/compiling/index.html

[alessandrofama]

you don't need to compile whole Godot. Check this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4OmyevtdUQ

The steps in brief: clone this repo, then build the cpp bindings:

cd godot-cpp
scons platform=windows target=debug generate_bindings=yes -j4 (number of cpu cores)
scons platform=windows target=release generate_bindings=yes -j4 (number of cpu cores)

then cd to wwise-gdnative and execute scons again:

scons target=debug platform=windows wwise_sdk="%WWISESDK%" plugins=convolution target_path=bin/
scons target=release platform=windows wwise_sdk="%WWISESDK%" plugins=convolution target_path=bin/

Nice thanks!

It is trying to use SDK 2021.1.2.7629 but we support 2019.2.1.7250. If you have both installed you can replace %WWISESDK% with the path to the correct SDK.

[smks]

Got you, thanks! I will change to the one supported!

[smksnutmeg]

All working now! Brilliant thanks as always!

[alessandrofama]

Great to hear! Cheers!
