Visual Studio 2003 project files.

Has anyone created visual studio 2003 project files for the combat started kit ?
They are not in the combat starter kit download (unlike the TGE downlike which has VC6 and VC7). I modified the VS2005 .vcproj files by changing the version info (from 8.00 to 7.10). Everything works correctly from the build except sound. If i use the TorqueDemo.exe that comes with the download (precompiled), openAL sound works on my Vi$ta machine.

If I build with my modified VS2003 proj/solution, I need to turn off openAL sound before entering the mission otherwise the game locks. I could download the 2005 express edition, but with all the other Microsoft studios installed (VC6 and VC7, platforms, DDKs and such, i dont want to push my luck busting all of my build platforms with the free version.

Thanks.

Responding to my own post.

Solved the "Torque Demo with Combat Starter Kit Audio locking up on Vi$ta "problem by installing the latest openAL runtime: openal.dll version 6.14.357.22. Combat Starter kit had an openal.dll version of 6.14.357.11.

Vista Audio no longer locks up for me with my hacked VC2003 vcprojs build with openAL.

Nice to hear. We will try implementing this fix into the next build. I also noticed that myu vista ran two sound drivers. When i disabled one of them it seemed to help the lockup.
