Taratoga, the way you descibed is as it is intended. The comment about that the DLL isnt loaded seems to be the solution: if the engine would load the DLL, there would be something like "LC_FMOD_WRAP.dll opened" in your acklog.

Please do me a favor: download and install the latest A7 version and/or the latest Lite-C version and try again. As long as the engine doesnt load the DLL, you cannot use it, so maybe there are other circumstances which you are doing wrong and have nothing to do with the DLL.

Small notice: due to some university exams and (-preparations) any development is somehow freezed - I began this night touching the FX functions, but I cannot guarantee anything.

I'm a newbie to Lite-C. I hope someone could enlighten me this: Why does a DLL needs to be wrapped by another DLL? Couldn't we just use the unwrapped DLL directly in Lite-C or C-Script? Thanks for being patient with me. =)

Dear Heelx,

i have tried some more tests. All tests I did in the same manner like discribed above in my german note. So I dont write it here again. I expanded the test now by putting the 2 dll files to 3 different path adresses:

1. root directory of the respective Gstudio version
2. /acknex_plugins
3. /samples_fmode (Which is my test directory with your files)

4.I did it on 2 different computers one with XP SP2 one with W2000 SP4.

5.I deleted all other dlls like bigdll.dll or vob.dll in the directory /acknex_plugins which by the way were loaded without any problem by all configurations.

I allways start the "RUN_system_01_information.bat"
Then look into the acklog.txt file, if one of the dll files are loaded.

6. I tested 3 Versions of Gstudio: 660; 704b; Lite C Beta 0.66

I can say no one of the tested Version load one of your approbiated dll files.

The Lite C Beta Version gives a compiler error Malfunction W1500 with a syntax problem.

The 660 Version starts with a black screen, does nothing, but works stabil.

The 704b crashes.

So I think something is wrong with the dlls

Kind regards

Taratoga

Dear Taratoga,

- Download the current LiteC release: http://server.conitec.net/down/litec_setup.exe
- Install it anywhere on your PC
- Go to my website and download http://www.christian-behrenberg.de/projects/fmod/downloads/v_0_1/LiteC_FMOD_wrapper_complete_0.1.zip
- or at least the binaries and the samples:
- binaries: http://www.christian-behrenberg.de/projects/fmod/downloads/v_0_1/LiteC_FMOD_wrapper_binaries_0.1.zip
- samples: http://www.christian-behrenberg.de/projects/fmod/downloads/v_0_1/LiteC_FMOD_wrapper_samples_0.1.zip
- lets assume, you have downloaded the complete package:
- extract it
- if you open the directory, you'll find the dll, the header and the documentation and a samples folder
- the samples folders DOESNT include the dll and the header. To make the samples work, copy the dll and the header into the samples folder
- rightclick the samples folder and click on COPY
- then go into the directory, in which you have installed LiteC 1.03
- now paste the folder; it should look like this:



the pasted sample folder is being highlighted in the picture
- now paste the fmod.dll into that samples folder
- check the samples folder, so that the following files are in there: LC_FMOD_WRAP.h, fmod.dll, LC_FMOD_WRAP.dll
- doubleclick on RUN_system_01_information.bat to start the example app

I did this way to simulate a customer which has no previous installation of LiteC, A7 or whatelse on his system. It worked at once! If it isnt working at all, please make sure you've installed the latest drivers and Windows Update.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Heelx,

i did this all now again. But I think you use Visual C++ because now I get an Error message Missing DLL MSVCR80D.dll.
Try now to find it in the net.
Maybe this is the reason, because this dll is not on my PCs.

This is one of this nice MS problems??....

Kind regards

Taratoga

Found out: It is a nice MS problem. Google gives me back about 10000 questions for this fu... dll

No one has it to download. Even Visual C++ Profis have the same problem.... Lot of threads in the MS Developer area...hahaha

Maybe you can offer this dll to me

Kind regards

Guess if HeelX compiled the dll with VC2005 you need the vcredist installed in order to run Lite-C FMOD?

a short question here about sounds in general. is it possible to create audiosignals using fmod? like by defining frequence, waveform and adsr settings? and what about applying effects to sounds, like reverb, echo and that stuff?

i hope you dont mind this possible offtopic...

cheers

Ahhhhhh!

I never thought about THAT! Thanks guys! Yes, I compiled it with VS 2005 and I thought you can use the DLL ... anywhere. This is really annyoing! The funniest part about it is that I talked with some guys which tested it and everyone used VS, so I wouldnt had noticed it.

Ok, so I guess you need to install that distribution package. I will do a bit of research about this and maybe there is way to circumvent this.. damn.

@Ello: I don't know exactly about generating sinus sounds, but theoretically, you can do this. About that FX stuff: yes, that is what I'm fiddling around at the current moment. You will be able to play samples and streams and then you can apply certain effects like echo for instance.

cool, i am curious about that, and i guess not only me:)

Hi ,

installing "vcredist" dont solve the problem.

Kind regards

Taratoga
