SFXModifier - cannot find fmodx.dll

by Judy L Tyrer · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/16/2009 (2:28 pm) · 2 replies

This error has always been there and I've blithely ignored it, but I notice there are no comments on it anywhere on the forums and so I'm just curious - what is it and why can't T3D find it (and how do I fix it?)

This is because you've not included the fmod dll in with Torque 3D. You only need this if you plan to use FMod for your sound (which costs money, but provides much better 3D sound). I think this warning should be suppressed if FMOD isn't selected as the current audio handler. If you do end up using FMOD you'll find that the same thing occurs with the warning about an OpenAL DLL.

There are quite a few warnings and non-critical errors that show up in the console which I'm hoping will eventually get cleaned up.

Thanks, I'm cleaning up the spurious error messages so I can concentrate on the real ones and I'm sure not making friends in the process. I'll get rid of this one for myself, then. Thanks.
