eval-setup

⚠️ TEST SETUP ONLY. Do NOT use for production. This creates a throwaway Wwise project and populates it with test objects.

Execute these steps in order using MCP tools. Stop if any step fails.

Step 1: Create test project and start headless WAAPI

1. Use cli_create_new_project to create a fresh project at tests/eval/EvalTestProject/EvalTestProject.wproj
2. Use cli_start_waapi_server to launch a headless WAAPI server with that project
3. Wait 5 seconds, then ping Wwise to confirm connection
4. Get project info to verify the project loaded

Step 2: Create Actor-Mixer hierarchy

Under \Containers\Default Work Unit, create:

• ActorMixer "EvalTest_SFX"
  • RandomSequenceContainer "Footsteps" (set Volume to -6.0)
    • Sound "Footstep_01"
    • Sound "Footstep_02"
  • SwitchContainer "Weapons"
    • Sound "Sword_Hit"
    • Sound "Bow_Shot"
  • ActorMixer "Ambience"
    • Sound "Forest_Loop"
    • Sound "Wind_Loop"

Step 3: Create Events

Under \Events\Default Work Unit, create:

• Folder "EvalTest_Events"
  • Event "Play_Footstep"
  • Event "Play_Sword"
  • Event "Play_Ambience"

Step 4: Create States and Switches

• Under \States\Default Work Unit: StateGroup "PlayerHealth" with States: "Alive", "Low", "Dead"
• Under \Switches\Default Work Unit: SwitchGroup "Surface" with Switches: "Grass", "Stone", "Wood"

Step 5: Set references

• Set Weapons SwitchContainer to use SwitchGroup "Surface"
• Assign Sword_Hit to "Grass" switch
• Assign Bow_Shot to "Stone" switch

Step 6: Write setup manifest

Write the WAAPI server PID, project path, and created object paths to tests/eval/setup_manifest.json:

{
  "project_path": "tests/eval/EvalTestProject/EvalTestProject.wproj",
  "waapi_pid": <PID from cli_start_waapi_server>,
  "objects": {
    "actor_mixer": "\\Containers\\Default Work Unit\\EvalTest_SFX",
    "footsteps": "\\Containers\\Default Work Unit\\EvalTest_SFX\\Footsteps",
    "weapons": "\\Containers\\Default Work Unit\\EvalTest_SFX\\Weapons",
    "events_folder": "\\Events\\Default Work Unit\\EvalTest_Events"
  }
}
