OpenAl and wrapper missing?
by Mike Rowley · in Torque Game Engine · 10/30/2006 (2:04 pm) · 6 replies
I downloaded the mac version of 1.5, and noticed there isn't a dll for openAl, or the wrapper.
Is this something with a bad download? or did it get left out?

Do I need to add the OpenAl.framework file with my game? or is it already installed on macs?

Ok, so please bare with my ignorance. I bought a mac so that I could make cross platform games. I barely know how to use this thing. :DDo I need to add the OpenAl.framework file with my game? or is it already installed on macs?

The OpenAL framework is already added to the app in the build process. If you right-click [or ctrl-click if you don't have a real mouse] Torque Demo OSX.app and select Show Package Contents, you'll find it in Contents/Frameworks/.
Apps on Mac OS X are actually 'bundles' which is essentially a special kind of folder. So all the resources, frameworks, language files, sounds, graphics, executables, etc. are all 'bundled' in one place.

I couldn't figure out that stupid 1 button thing. I hooked up a trackball mouse I had lying around to it. Now, I need to replace the keyboard with one that has a cord longer than 1 foot. :/
Thanks for the link. i'll check it out. :)

Thankyou. Oh, the very first thing I replaced when I got this mac was the mouse. :oI couldn't figure out that stupid 1 button thing. I hooked up a trackball mouse I had lying around to it. Now, I need to replace the keyboard with one that has a cord longer than 1 foot. :/

Additionally, I suppose I should write up a nice, friendly new how-to guide for folk who are new to Macs or Torque. I think people would like that.

@Mike: just get a usb extension cable for the keyboard.Additionally, I suppose I should write up a nice, friendly new how-to guide for folk who are new to Macs or Torque. I think people would like that.

I don't use the mac too often, so the cord is fine for now. :)
A "How-to-Guide for folk who are new to Macs or Torque" would be great. The "beginners guide from windows to mac" read like an erector set directions. :-D
I figured out enough to download xcode, install it, download torque, install it, had to ask a friend who never used windows how to change the name of the exe tho. It works. :)
Some day I may even upgrade to more than 256mb ram and software mode vid card. mabe..
