i would imagine it's LUA.

i dont even know what that stands for.

Lemur Undercarriage Access
Lesbian Underage Anal
Lithuanian Ukranian Alliance
Leopard Underpants Acquistions.
Lets Undermine America!

its 'Lua' not 'LUA', and it doesnt 'stand' for anything (because its not an acronym) it means 'moon' (or 'Moon' if you want to be really pedantic) in Portugese.

More or less, you need this:

LuaGaia/main.lua

Code: Select all

VFS.Include("LuaGadgets/gadgets.lua",nil, VFS.BASE)

LuaGaia/Gadgets/play_a_sound.lua

Code: Select all

function gadget:GetInfo()
	return {
		name = "play_a_sound",
		desc = "Plays a sound at game start",
		author = "author",
		date = "2009-11-28",
		license = "Public domain",
		layer = 10,
		enabled = true
	}
end

if not (gadgetHandler:IsSyncedCode()) then

gadget:GameStart()
	Spring.PlaySoundFile("sounds/gamestart.wav")
end

end

Lol kaiser, just check out my asteroid maps, they all have a music track playing at game start.

If you want to start track when game clock starts, then use the if spring.getgameseconds()>0 expression

Note that I'm not sure if gamestart is called in unsynced, I kind of flipped a coin about putting that 'not' in, remove it if so.

Just wondering, is it possible in the current Spring build for the sound to play in loop (repeat itself) and not just end after end of the track?

Yes. Search the sound forum.
