Access violation problem in v0.98 (fmod)

[Thyast]

Hello,

While experimenting jME on my office PC, I encountered this problem running HelloIntersection tutorial.
It's related to lwjgl.

org.lwjgl.fmod3.FMODException: Unable to load fmod library

OS: Windows 2000 Build 2195 Service Pack 4

I'm running version 0.98 of lwjgl.
I checked the version of my audio drivers just in case and they seem up to date.
Any clue ?

Let me know if you want me to post the entire log file or anything.

Thanks

This is a guess but it seem that it can't find the native FMOD library.

you can get it here I think

http://fmod.org/fmoddownload.html

and I think you 3.74

yup - what zparticle said - we dont distribute fmod, due to license issues

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

Shouldn't get an access violation though if it's not present.

Well I think it's jME fault who is calling FMOD.create(), no ?

Hello

Thanks to your help, I got a bit further. Download of a separate fmod.dll is not explicit in JME starter guide. That's why I missed that point.

Thanks again

The same thing happened to me today. Unless I missed it somewhere, wouldn't it be a good idea to mention that you need to download FMOD since you can't distribute it?
