So? Is it that much more appropriate to ressurect MTR threads then it is to start new ones? I honestly don't care weather it counts for points or not.

Dunno whats more appropriate. Depends on how old the thread is, and what was said in the thread, and stuff like that.

Anyways;
What is needed:
really just a simple built in mp3 player, with an extra volume control in the settings window, which plays the mp3s which are in a folder with the same name as the mod you are playing. Might need to make use of LAME.dll??

Would it really be difficult or not?

doesn't solve the problem of music designed for the game, such as general ambient sounds which depend on the mod

Exactly. Nice thread necro btw ;P

Thanks to wasp, we have some appropriate music to go with EE, but no, we can't use it because implementing a very simple player seems to either be too boring to code, or for some other reason.

Look guys, if you want spring to be a launching program for full games, we need a little bit more. THe lua gui stuff is awesome, being able to include mod specific music would be kick ass.
