Does 'Master Bank.strings.bank' hold every names from other banks in '.fspro'?

FMOD Studio
1

Hi,

We are looking into FMOD Studio API for migrating from FMOD Designer.
It seems ‘Master Bank.bank’ is always in there with or without event.
As far as I understand, we need to load ‘Master Bank.strings.bank’ for retrieving events by name.

I wonder there’s any specific reason to maintain ‘Master Bank.bank’ and ‘Master Bank.string.bank’ in FMOD Studio.
Would it cause ambiguity if build process generates ‘~strings.bank’ for every bank instead of Master Bank’s?

Thanks for reading.

That is correct, all of the path look up for the entire project is in the Master Bank.strings.bank.

It is not currently possible to separate the string data per bank. Is that a feature you would like to see in the future?
