Building an ACB (CueSheet Binary)

Building a Binary File

You have to build a CueSheet binary in order to integrate the Cues you authored in the game application.
To generate the CueSheet binary, select a CueSheet on the tree, then right-click to select [Build Atom CueSheet Binary ...] from the menu.
