theonlysnowflake Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Is there a way to publish a game as a standalone without having to have OpenAL installed on the computer running the game? I want to submit a game to a game contest my school has, but it needs to be able to run just with the standard windows applications (like I send a .zip folder and they can just run the .exe file) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 no, you can't. Maybe use a virtual machine to run your game at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 No, but you can make an installer that silently installs OpenAL. A lot of game installers do this. It MIGHT be possible to just put OpenAL.dll in your game's directory, but that might not work on some machines.

Michael_J Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I tried just adding the .dll's--didn't work for me. I just included the installed in a "Utilities" folder if needed (which obviously doesn't help in your case). Yeah, was just planning on having the installer do it once I have one set up...

Olby Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Sounds like you're out of luck. As far as I know most schools have admin lock that prevents users from installing any software so putting the OpenAL DLL in Windows system folder is not possible.

The computers that are judging the games have admin rights so it should be able to install it, I just would need it so when you click the .exe file it opens the game as well as installing OpenAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiocarbohydrazide Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 No,you can't. because OpenAL might not work on some machines though you installed on your computer. Quote MY WEB: http://www.hydrazine-hydrate.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
