Sound problem[]
Problem with Alternate Fire under OA: sound doesn't work. I see an error in the console: it can't find uix86.dll. Anyone knows how to fix? 79.50.195.238 23:02, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
- System is Windows XP. Before this one (many lines above), the console shows another dll-related error ("failed to load library OpenAL32.dll"), but it happens also with the "standard" OpenArena, where the sound works. Note: switching back from Alternate Fire to Open Arena does not make sound return (I have to close and restart OA to hear sound). Any ideas? The Gig 13:56, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
Well, the problem (tested with Windows XP and OA 0.8.5) occurs changing mod from "mods" menù if I have OpenAl disabled or not installed ("failed to load library OpenAl32.dll" suggests it is not installed; variable "s_useopenal" set at 0 means it is disabled). So, there are two workarounds:
- launch the mod directly from windows' command prompt or modified link (for example openarena.exe +set fs_game missionpack), or
- install and activate OpenAl. You can find it here (direct download for Windows version here).
