Sound load error

[Running_tape]

I was following the tutorial for pong. I managed to build the executable with no problems. But as My Game loaded up resources, an error occurred.

An unhandled exception occurred at $0040BDC8 :
Exception : Error loading sound effect: Mix_LoadWAV_RW with NULL src
$0040BDC8
$0041FA7A
$0041FB73
$0042038A
$0040BF6F
$00401782

I'm sure '$0040BDC8' is related to the position of the error in my script, but I can't read it!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Can you post up your code so far.

[Running_tape]

OK. I'll send in the code I've added when it stopped working.

In GameResources.pas

Code: Select all

   procedure LoadSounds();
   begin   
      NewSound('boink','Boink.wav');
      NewSound('paddlehit','Paddle.wav');
   end;

In Gamelogic.pas

Code: Select all

     begin
        ball.Movement.X := -ball.Movement.X;
        PlaySoundEffect(GameSound('boink'));
     end
     else if ball.X <= 0 then
     begin
       ball.Movement.X:= -ball.Movement.X;
       PlaySoundEffect(GameSound('boink'));
     end;

Note: this is also the same for Movement.Y

Sorry for the delay.

Do you know which line the error occurs on?

Put in some WriteLn calls to check where the code gets to. For example:

Code: Select all

   procedure LoadSounds();
   begin   
      WriteLn('Loading boink');   
      NewSound('boink','Boink.wav');
      WriteLn('Loading paddlehit');   
      NewSound('paddlehit','Paddle.wav');
      WriteLn('Load Sounds done');   
   end;

I found the problem. It seems my version of Swingame doesn't accept wav files. I tried using an ogg file and it loads.

Sorry for wasting your time. I should have tried it sooner. But I thank you very much for helping me.

Thats weird, WAV files should work.

What OS are you using?

[Running_tape]

I'm using Windows XP. Is the problem related to my OS?

[acain]

You should be able to load the WAV files... not sure what the problem is. Sorry. At least you can progress using OGG files

[Running_tape]

That's OK.

I guess I have to manage with OGG files. Thanks anyway!

Take a look at format factory. Its free and can convert any sound file to an ogg (it can also do video, but you only get the soundtrack obviously lol)

heres the link http://www.formatoz.com/

Hope that helps
