The following sections list and describe the changes made to Wwise between version 2010.1.3 and version 2010.2.
SDK Folder Structure Changes
- WG-18143 PS3: SPU .elf files are now included in the SDK for debugging purposes.
プラットフォームSDKアップデート
- Wwise Authoring: updated to DirectX February 2010.
- PlayStation 3: updated to SDK 340.
- Xbox 360: updated to XDK 11775.4 (July 2010).
APIの変更
- WG-16578 The Reverb and Reverb Lite effects have been removed; they had been tagged as deprecated in recent versions of Wwise. Use the Matrix Reverb, RoomVerb or the Convolution Reverb instead. If you have warnings regarding these effects in your projects, make sure to replace them and re-save your project.
- WG-16876 8-bit data is not supported anymore as input for the Wwise sound engine.
- WG-11166 New music callbacks are available:
- WG-14789 Grid and Grid Offset are now returned with every music callback notification.
- WG-16870 LockParams() and UnlockParams() have been removed from AK::IAkPluginParam. Locking of the parameters is not necessary anymore as they are always accessed from the same thread.
- WG-17060, WG-17080 The following functions now take an optional transition time (fade-in/fade-out) and fade curve type:
- WG-17087 Added an optional AkPlayingID argument to AK::SoundEngine::DynamicDialogue::ResolveDialogueEvent; when passing the AkPlayingID, the Capture Log will associate the resolved notifications with the dynamic sequence actions.
- WG-17235 SoundFrame: Added a function "GetDialogueEventOriginalFileList" to obtain the list of Original source files for Dialogue Events into SoundFrame API. Also renamed GetOriginalFileList to AK::SoundFrame::ISoundFrame::GetEventOriginalFileList "GetEventOriginalFileList".
- WG-17325 Added a function AK::SoundEngine::SetEffect to add or remove effect ShareSets on audio nodes at runtime.
- WG-17481 The instance of XAudio2 used by the Sound Engine on the Xbox 360 can now be managed by the game by passing AkPlatformInitSettings::pXAudio2 at initialization time.
- WG-17484 AK::SoundEngine::Query::GetRTPCValue has a modified signature, making it more flexible.
- WG-17501 Specialization of effect processing interfaces to support out-of-place processing (see AK::IAkOutOfPlaceEffectPlugin) additionally to in-place processing (see AK::IAkInPlaceEffectPlugin). Out-of-place effects can be used (outside of Master-Mixer hierarchy) to implement effects that need to produce and consume data at different rates.
- WG-17596 Effect plug-ins can update their internal state when processing virtual voices 'from elapsed time' (see AK::IAkInPlaceEffectPlugin and AK::IAkOutOfPlaceEffectPlugin).
- WG-17741 Added new AkCommSettings::threadProperties initialization parameter to change the default priority of the communication thread.
- WG-17788 Stream manager interface now available for use within effect plug-ins. This provides the ability to stream data to or from an effect plug-in by reading or writing data on a specific device (see AK::IAkEffectPluginContext).
- WG-17850 AK::SoundEngine::StartOutputCapture(), which opens wave files for writing, now passes AkFileSystemFlags::uCodecID = AKCODECID_PCM to the Low-Level IO (AK::StreamMgr::IAkFileLocationResolver::Open()) instead of the former value AKCODECID_BANK. In order to save this file into the "base path" instead of into the streamed files path, the CAkFileLocationBase SDK sample now accepts the file open mode (AkOpenMode) (see functions GetFullFilePath() in file SDK/samples/SoundEngine/Common/AkFileLocationBase.h). Platform-specific default Low-Level I/O implementations were modified accordingly.
- WG-17868 Extrapolation of position returned by AK::SoundEngine::GetSourcePlayPosition and AK::MusicEngine::GetPlayingSegmentInfo based on elapsed time since last update by sound engine is now optional.
- WG-17887 Removed the AkEnvironmentValue::fUserData structure member.
- WG-17888 Reduced usage of AK_OPTIMIZED define in SDK headers.
- WG-17946 Mac: added new parameter AkPlatformInitSettings::uSampleRate to specify the sound engine sample rate.
