During my work with Unreal Engine and Wwise audio middleware, I encountered a recurring issue: after certain project operations or version updates, Wwise plugin references would break, causing audio systems to fail and requiring manual intervention to restore functionality.
The manual fix involved navigating through project files, editing configuration files, and carefully restoring plugin settings—a process that could take hours and was prone to human error. This was particularly challenging for students and junior developers learning the engine.
To solve this workflow bottleneck, I developed the core automation logic as Windows batch scripts, designing the workflow and implementing the file manipulation logic myself. Once the functionality was proven and stable, I collaborated with AI development tools to refine and transform the batch scripts into a modern Python application with a polished GUI interface, better error handling, and cross-platform compatibility—demonstrating effective use of modern development workflows to enhance accessibility for the broader developer community.
