Sound manager plugin

Kolobrod · Post by **Kolobrod** » Sun Jan 02, 2005 2:13 am

Simple test of plugin making for OGRE

Just for loading sound and linking them to scene objects for 3D sound effect...
It`s uses only OpenAL. I plan to improve it in few days for playing vorbis ogg files and maybe deeply integrate with ORGE.

Here is code:http://tool.hotbox.ru/SoundManager.zip(plugin+demo)

I hope this will be useful for someone...

Thanks ! I was just searching for one

Problem is : the link is not working

Try right click - Save As...

It doesn't work either !

The link works fine for me when just lift clicking.

Kolobrod, I'm sure many will find this useful. However, when you say deeply integrate with OGRE, don't expect the OGRE team to accept any patches that add audio to the engine, they want to keep it clean, and only have graphics rendering in it.

You're right, it works now

EDIT : Sorry to annoy again, but I got these errors while linking :

Looks like you aren't linking to the OpenAL lib, don't know its name.

Thanks ! It works nicely now

EDIT :
I've looked at the demo code and it looks very simple to use, though I can't compile to test : I get this :

I must miss something simple, like in the last post

Forgive me for my stupidness

This is again a library problem. Did you add the .lib you got by compiling the plugin?

Yes! It`s just for my needs of course =) I but in this state it wil be fine for my project and such 'deeply' integration is not needed

It will be just a plugin. If this is it...

to Archangel: look at input libs, maybe i sothing remove? It must work for VC8. I get some time now to make ogg files to play corectly and cheeck this out to.

Kolobrod · Post by **Kolobrod** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 10:58 pm

Now it`s plays Ogg Vorbis files...

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 8:36 pm

Yeah ! It works, and it's realy nice

!
Even if I'm not a professional, I can say that you've made a good work !
Keep this way

I am getting:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'alut.lib'

Cant seem to locate the 'alut.lib' anywhere. Was I supposed to compile some 3rd party thing before this? :O

Post by **tuan kuranes** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 9:31 am

alut is supposed to be in openal distribution. (at least it's my openal SDK)

The link doesn't seem to work.

Post by **haffax** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 3:50 pm

It did work for me. Just tested it.

Azatoth · Post by **Azatoth** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 3:56 pm

Worked for me now too; must have been a temporary outage.

Goosey · Post by **Goosey** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 9:29 pm

Now I have it compiled (yes, I did not think to download the OpenAL SDK before

).

Getting a runtime exception however:

Error #: 10
Function: SoundObject::LoadOgg():217
Description: Ogg Vorbis extension not available!

I imagine I am missing something obvious again.

EDIT:

I downloaded the beta wrap_oal.dll and replaced the one in my windows/system32 directory with it. Recompiled Plugin_SoundManager and Demo_Sound.. it now runs without an exception, and I hear the sound start to go.. But it crashes immediately after the sound starts.

EDIT EDIT:
Grabbed the ALTest from the same spot.. The results were not great. The ogg test work only with DirectSound and MMSYSTEM, neither of which were able to make use of my rear speakers..

I am thinking perhaps the OpenAL Ogg plugin is not stable enough for use yet.. Bad news for me

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
I replaced wrap_oal.dll in my system32 with the original and commented out any mention of the ogg sound object from Demo_Sound. It runs fine (with only the wav playing). This is pretty sad news.. I suppose maybe a solution is to use OpenAL for soundeffects only, and another library for music... Anyone know if OpenAL plays nice with SDLMixer?

IoN_PuLse · Post by **IoN_PuLse** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 12:25 am

You most certainly can use ogg's with OpenAL, you'll just have to write your own streaming code that uses libvorbis =)

Post by **jacmoe** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 12:58 am

Great plugin, Kolobrod!

It works - and even with ogg-files.
@Goosey : It is generally (IMHO) a bad thing to drop dlls in your system folder - keep them in your bin-folder instead. That way you are controlling what version of OpenAL and Alut you are using.
It works for me - even if the ogg-demo from the SDK fails - that is the beauty of Kolobrods plugin.

((Goosey: You might have to put the ogg-vorbis dll's alongside your exe, but that I don't know))

Could anyone host a mirror of this please?

Original host is down and I would really like to try this out again.

Yeah...I think I get a 404 error when I try to download it....(can't read Russian, so I don't know.....)

This would be great for the game I'm writing. I'm planning on using OpenAL anyways

Thanks a ton Mr. Turner! I really appreciate it. Unfortunately it looks like it isn't out-of-the-box ready for use with 1.0.0 (It looks like it isn't updated for the new resource system).

Since I am not that familiar with Ogre's resource system and since I would hate to do work that has already been done... By chance anyone updated the SoundManager plugin for 1.0.0 yet?

If not ill roll up my sleeves and have a go.
