MoleBox and OpenAL

Hi All,

I have just downloaded the demo of MoleBox Pro and packed my game up using it, including OpenAL32.dll and wrap_oal.dll.

I am using GA's framework and when I change the sound driver to OpenAL Generic Software, the game does not start up - all it does is grind the hard disk and uses some processing cpu cycles, I have to kill it via the task manager.

If I set it to use FreeAudio it works great...

Any ideas?

Cheers

Oh dear, seems like molebox can't read the dlls (maybe), but I'm no expert on molebox, I don't use it.

Hi there, I would suggest in getting in touch with molebox forum, its pretty good, see if they can help you out. Molebox is excellent, I use it without any problem, but haven't used OpenAL32.dll yet

Some older version of OpenAL32.dll which are not depend on wrap_oal.dll can work, that version is very outdated tho.

I do also suggest go to MoleBox form

Remember to attach a binary sample.

The standard version of Molebox does not support DLLs.

The more expensive Pro version, does.

If you bought the cheap version, that's what's wrong.

I own the Pro version of MoleBox and I couldn't get it to work with OpenAl dll's either.

don't include the DLLs that simple.

I wouldn't expect it to work.
Sound is fully streaming. Given the fact that both DLLs are protected and don't run on their native speed most likely, I wouldn't assume it work.

but at best you contact their support. they are very helpfull and tend to fix bugs if you find them and point them out very quickly :)

Molebox Pro works perfectly with DLLs!

Is there anything you DON'T have an opinion on? Stop assuming and arm yourself with some facts before chipping in, otherwise your comments are a waste of everyone's time.

Thanks for the replies guys...

I was trying the Pro version Gfk.... but Im going to learn NSIS and just install the dlls in the same folder as the exe...

That should work if it's a dll problem and not something else. Good luck!

Pro version works fine..Im packing with it tons of DLL's and its just fine

I downloaded NSIS and HM NIS Edit last night, created an installation setup for One and my new game (packed the resources into the exe apart from the dlls), installed the games - changed the ini to OpenAL Generic Software and it works fine...

Looks a bit more professional with an installer too ;-)

Anyone looking into NSIS should try HM NIS Edit, it makes it really easy to create the scripts...
