Sound isn't working (SOLVED)
by Myles Blasonato · in iTorque 2D · 01/29/2011 (11:32 pm) · 12 replies
Hi guys :)
I purchased iTorque and was going through the docs quite easiliy until I had a look at adding sound.
I havent in the last 2 days been able to get it to work.
I followed what it said in the documentation.
I create a profile and description.
Then in game.cs I execute the script
This will not play any sound. Why?
Cheers,
Myles Blasonato.
PS: Is it easy to create classes and stuff in case I wanted to do a point and click adventure with an inventory system and stuff. I have good c++ skills.

new AudioDescription(AudioNonLooping)

volume = 1.0;
isLooping= false;
is3D = false;

new AudioDescription(AudioLooping)

new AudioProfile(backgroundAudio)

description = "AudioLooping";
preload = true;
};

// Single Blip.

new AudioProfile(blipAudio)
{
filename = "../data/audio/here.wav";
description = "AudioNonLooping";
preload = true;
};Then in game.cs I execute the script
function startGame(%level)
{
exec("./audioDatablocks.cs");
alxPlay(blipAudio);This will not play any sound. Why?

I had to put the code after I load the level as well as copy the OpenAL32.dll over into the main directory.

Hmm...can you upload your whole test project somewhere ? I could try it by my self and find the problem, if you want.

Well, i was not much of a help, as you solved it all by yourself. Can you tell, what was the problem ? Your solution might be helpful to other users when they run into similar problem.

So as stated above I had to move the following code to after the level has been loaded.
I then also needed to copy and paste the OpenAL32.dll over into my games main directory.
After that it worked nicely :)
Hope that helps people.

alxPlay(blipAudio);I then also needed to copy and paste the OpenAL32.dll over into my games main directory.

I have been wondering this. Where do you store your audioDatablocks.cs? Anywhere?:s

Anywhere is fine, as long as they are executed :)
