Strange NullPointerException with Loading Audio....
« on: June 13, 2018, 03:11:19 »
I am getting a NullPointerException trying to load audio with OpenAL. I am using LWJGL 3, and I have no idea how to fix it. Searched everywhere.

Error below:

Code: [Select]

The NPE happens because stb_vorbis_decode_filename has returned null. It means it couldn't find the file or decoding failed somehow (corrupt vorbis file?).

I figured that but the fileName is right, but I have my .wav file in res/sounds/buttonClick.wav. I tried moving it into the first folder for the project and it still won't load it. It is kind of ambiguous where it loads the file from, do you know how to fix that?

You can either use an absolute path, or a path relative to the working directory of the process. In any other case, use Java (N)IO to load the file to a buffer and use stb_vorbis_decode_memory instead.

Anyway, in this case the problem seems to be that you're trying to decode a .wav file as an Ogg Vorbis file. That's not going to work.

I just converted the .wav to a .ogg. I forgot it only does .ogg files. Thanks!
