Designing for downloadable content

For downloadable content (DLC), the cue sheet will be divided by the download unit.

Notes on compatibility with ACF

If the global setting items referenced by ACB are not available on the ACF side, a warning will occur at runtime and the intended sound may not be played.
This occurs when the cue sheet has a reference to the global setting, but the ACF loaded in the game is old.
Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check whether it is enough to update only the cue sheet, or whether the ACF also needs to be updated.
In addition, if the ACF needs to be updated, the entire ADX will need to be stopped and started.

Cue sheet configuration

The information contained in a cue sheet is setting information related to the cue. Various settings referenced by the cue are stored as reference information. Information on overall settings is output to an ACF file.

Naming rules

For example, if you add more characters, you can assign a unique character ID and use the same rules to determine the sound request ID to make management easier.

Using cue sheet playback

When requesting a cue from a program, you can use a cue sheet. In this case, by unifying the requested cue name or cue ID, you can switch the sound appropriately even if the character changes.

For downloadable content, it is divided by download unit.

Cue sheet configuration

The information held by the cue sheet is the setting information for the cue, and various settings referenced by the cue are stored as reference information. The overall setting information is output to the ACF file.

Set up naming rules well

For example, if additional characters are added, assign a unique character ID and manage the sound request ID by deciding the same rule.

Use cue sheet specified playback

When requesting a cue from a program, you can use the cue sheet specification. In this case, by making the requested cue name or cue ID the same, you can switch the sound when the character changes.
