I need some professional help
on: May 27, 2009, 10:20:13 am
I am on a school computer and cannot install OpenAL because i do not have any rights.
I am on a Windows system.
Is there any way to get around this so i can play the game?

While I do agree with Sushi - you've usually signed/agreed to a terms of use which specifically prohibits games - you're on your own if you do this and it is against school policy.

You should be able to just stick the openal dlls in the same directory as the game and have it run.

Then ask your teacher to install it for you, he should have access rights!

If that fails, install OpenAL to a computer where you can install it, then copy OpenAL32.dll and wrap_oal.dll from C:\Windows\System32\  to the \freespace2\ folder.

and...

Your teacher is fine with it? Playing a full retail game, not some cheap flash game, installing it on a public school computer, and playing it during class time?

Maybe it's just me, because the public computers in my school are automatically re-formatted at midnight every single day. :rolleyes:

If you have a flash drive, then Lobo's last suggestion should work fine.

You reall should get/have a computer. FreeSpace isn't the sort of casual game that you can easily play at school. It takes time. Certain missions take surprising amounts of time and there is no saving during missions. And I concider serious gaming to be a tad bit out of place at school.

If you must, I can upload the .dll's somewhere, but seriously. Think about it.

Not knowing your school computers' specs: retail FS2 runs without OpenAL.

And again what Wobble already said: if you have your teacher's approval, ask him/her to install OpenAL to the computer(s) you're going to use.

Calm down dude. He's taking time out to help you. Just run FS2 retail (select no mod) in the launcher.
