Background music

Hi guys

sorry for bothering you again

ok, so I'm still stuck lol. I'm trying to get a very simple backgroud sound running. So here is what I did

To make sure I'm not interfering with any of ogre's other functions I went to the main function and first thing in main I put:

OgreAL::SoundManager *soundManager;
soundManager = new OgreAL::SoundManager();
OgreAL::Sound *bgSound = soundManager->createSound("roar", "roar.wav", true);
bgSound->setRelativeToListener(true);
bgSound->play();

at the very top of that same file I put:

#include "OgreAL.h"
#include "OgreALListener.h"
#include "OgreALSoundManager.h"

This should be like the simplest test ever. Nothing should go wrong... but...when I build i get the error

Error 1 error C2512: 'OgreAL::SoundManager' : no appropriate default constructor available c:\mydev\LIAV\src\CAXApplication.cpp 341

any ideas what's wrong here?

Funny question, but the error reports to the line you posted right? This bit of code?


OgreAL::SoundManager *soundManager;
soundManager = new OgreAL::SoundManager();


Because the same code works for me... I'm guessing you're trying to make another instant of OgreAL::SoundManager somewhere else in your code?

In v0.2 you needed to pass in a pointer to the SceneManager, so you can either do that or update from SVN to fix this problem.

thanks for your reply

so I guess I have 2 options. Is passing a pointer easy? I have no idea how this could be done


If I update from SVN how do I actually install/update? The stable version was a downloadable zip but the SVNs are just many files and they're not zipped.
And how do I know which version of ogre i have, Ogre 1.2 Dagon or Ogre 1.4 Eihort?


Sorry Casey for all the questions. Do you think I'm dumb or is it just bad luck?

Is passing a pointer easy? I have no idea how this could be doneThen I would recommend that you put Ogre on the back burner for a while and spend some time learning the basics of C++. I don't think you are stupid or bad luck! In fact I admire your enthusiasm and that is why I make my suggestion! I don't want to see you get frustrated and give up!

of course I know what pointers are but I have no idea where I have to pass the pointer coz I haven’t really looked at OgreAL's source code. Doesn’t the beauty of object-orientedness revolve around using the libraries without actually knowing any of the code inside?

Anyhow, I'll try updating my library so that the empty construct is available. I’ll let you know how things go.

There's a sticky thread with the link to the documentation of OgreAL. In there you'll find the function (is it the constructor? I don't use that version) that you're looking for.

So for the SVN version, are sounds movable objects that can be attached to Scene Nodes, or what is the proper way to sync with a Scene Node?

Thanks in advance,

[edit] scrolled down a little in the svn manual, and saw that it says you can attach to scene node. [/edit]

It's never been the other way. Sounds have been MovableObjects from the beginning.
