OMG I Had the bestest Idea ever... you know how everyone whines every few weeks about Spring not having music... would it be possible to impliment a playlist via lua script... seriousely I think if it's even possible to play sound with lua one of you peeps whoes gotten familliar with LUA-scripting should make a "proof of concept" for playing music in game...
another option would be to use winamp's plugin features to send commands to spring using the whatever the bot/AI interfaces use
finally, and here's the simplest option... I think... If lua can display a mini-browser window or web content otherwise you can use VLC's HTTP interface to control VLC from in game.

sure you "might as well just ALT-Tab out... but everyone knows sometimes you can't do that... and also this FIRST step would lead to being able to have TA style contextual music in the future.
Music?

I don't think the complaints are about that you can't play music while spring is running (cause you can and its easy, as people are demostrating), I think all the complaints are about Spring not having an actual dedicated soundtrack, like normal games of this quality. Problem is, well, do we actually have any musicians in this community?
