Re: [Factor-talk] Could not initialize OpenAL
I found the bang.wav in an old git commit (somehow it went missing when jamshred moved to unmaintained and back). I re-added it if you update you can try again if you want. Best, John.

I don't know about jamshred, but you can run play-hello and if OpenAL works it should say "Hello world". You can find the ROMs for Balloon Bomber and other games here: http://www.emuparadise.me/M.A.M.E._-_Multiple_Arcade_Machine_Emulator_ROMs/Balloon_Bomber/11301-download (download at your own risk ;)) Then unzip to something like "C:/code/tmp/ballbomb" and set rom-root: "C:/code/tmp/" rom-root set-global Then you can call run-balloon. On Windows something is off with the timers so the cpu runs to fast which makes the game unplayable. But it works well on Linux. -- mvh/best regards Björn Lindqvist -- ___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk

It appears it works something like this: OpenAL32.dll is the public API, but not the whole OpenAL implementation. Exactly like OpenGL works. Having the OpenGL dll is not enough, you also need drivers installed to support it which neither you nor I have. But you can download soft_oal.dll from the OpenAL soft package: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal-binaries/ Rename that file to OpenAL32.dll and put it in the same directory as factor.exe and the alut.dll file. Then it works for me. I think that means you only get "software" audio without hardware support so no 3d audio or any fancy features like that.

Re: [Factor-talk] Could not initialize OpenAL
Maybe you could find a different source for an OpenAL32.dll that works and then we could figure out what's different.

Hello! 14.09.2016, 17:04, "Björn Lindqvist" : f f alutInit drop alutGetError alutGetErrorStringAnd see what error message you get.

It actually is the OpenAL32.dll with the special casing you need. That's the name alut.dll and the alut vocab references. It might not matter because Windows' filesystem is case-insensitive. > When I click some of the buttons on the `"demos" run` page I see some > modules loading, and then "Could not initialize OpenAL" with the Abort > option. > Is it just me, or do some other people have the same issue? I also have it. It could be that the OpenAL version in the dlls aren't compatible with the sound system in Windows 10. I think Windows and OpenAL has always been a bit of trouble. You can try: f f alutInit drop alutGetError alutGetErrorString And see what error message you get. -- mvh/best regards Björn Lindqvist -- ___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
Re: [Factor-talk] Could not initialize OpenAL
Openal works for me on Ubuntu 14.04 Le 12 sept. 2016 08:32, "Alexander Ilin" a écrit : Hello! Win 8x64, Factor 32-bit. I'm trying to run some demos, and they say I need alut.dll and openal32.dll, both of which I've downloaded and placed in the Factor.exe folder. When I click some of the buttons on the `"demos" run` page I see some modules loading, and then "Could not initialize OpenAL" with the Abort option. Is it just me, or do some other people have the same issue? The demos that fail are: balloon-bomber, jamshred, space-invaders. ---=--- Александр -- ___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk -- ___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
