Title: voice chat problem
Post by: yasha on January 02, 2009, 08:54:15 AM
I didn't play OA in while, and i got new headphones. Now i tried to do voice chat with my brother, I can hear him, but he can't hear me. We have same options, and i know that my microphone works, it records sound normally in other programs/games.  How can I fix it?

I have OA 0.8.1 and Ubuntu 8.10.

EDIT: the voicemeter shows, but stays on 0. OpenAL is on.

You might want to check what version of OpenAL you have installed. The standard 0.8.1 binary expects "libopenal0a" but Ubuntu 8.10 prefers "libopenal1" by default.

Try a "sudo aptitude install libopenal0a".

Alternatively you can recompile the engine with libopenal1.

First i tried with installing libopenal0a, that didn't work. Then i tried to compile engine: i downloaded source, read readme and went to directory and wrote "make". I got error:
Code:
code/SDL12/include/SDL_config_minimal.h:38: error: conflicting types for ‘size_t’
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.2/include/stddef.h:214: error: previous declaration of ‘size_t’ was here

Looks like size_t is now a standard in newer versions of gcc. I think ioquake3 people have fixed some of the problems with gcc 4.3.

You could remove the definition of size_t from "code/SDL12/include/SDL_config_minimal.h" line 38 but I don't think that is the only error you will get.

It works fine under 32 bit Ubuntu 8.10 but I know that there are problems with 8.10 64 bit. I'll look into it then I get home tomorrow.
