OpenAl crashes Torque apps

by XXXAvatar !!!! · in General Discussion · 10/28/2003 (7:11 am) · 4 replies

I am running Windows XP and couldn't run any Torque related apps. In MSVB Debugger I could see that one error I was having had to do with the wrap_oal.dll, which of course is associated with OpenAl. I went into the prefs script for the TGUI.exe and deleted the reference to OpenAl, it worked. I then tried the same thing for Realm Wars by deleting " exec("./client/audio.cs") from rw/commom/main.cs " and that worked as well. I ran test apps for OpenAl which all passed, so why am I having problems with OpenAl and Torque?

    Wrap_oal.dll is part of your soundcard's openal implementation.

    I'm guessing you have a creative card. Check to see you have the latest drivers for the card, or download their openal distribution from opensource.creative.com

    Thanks,

    I have a Via AC 97 card which is built-in and no upgrade is available. Oh well, I can deal without sound for now.

    Are you sure you have the OpenAL.dll ?

    One of our teammembers couldn't run a test version of our game until he added it.

    Yes, I tired two versions of the OpenAL.dll and just got a third from:

    And guess what, it worked!
