The loading bar makes weird sound effects. Why?

Cause you downloaded my soundtrack.

To break up the silence between main menu music and briefing music, since music can not be used on the load screen in a satisfactory way.

It's nice for being able to tell your loading progress with your screen not focused, but I agree it could sound less "weird". Needs a sound effect that can sound okay playing multiple copies of itself at the same time, and I didn't have much that fit. Or better scripting.

Perhaps there's still enough room to fit a single looping beat sample of some sort?

I wasn't able to get a looping track working on loadscreen. At least the way I've done it in the past requires counting gameframes, which can't be done in loadscreen.

The `addon:update` callin receives precisely one argument `dt` which is the number of milliseconds since last update call. This should be available in loadscreen and even better than gameframe, because you don't have to multiply it by 30.

I will give this an attempt, so far this is the "loading loop" I like best, just needs volume amplification: https://opengameart.org/content/loading-screen-loop

Doesn't look like it's available.

Impart full callin code.

AFAIK LuaIntro uses the new handler which doesn't supply Update() with dt.
However, you have Spring.GetTimer() and Spring.DiffTimers(), so you should be able to measure it in the widget.
