Audio restarts after love.load()

[akopyl]

I had a game that was match based and after each match it used love.load() to reset itself. In 0.9.2 the music would go on after love.load() was called, but now with 0.10.0 and 0.10.1 the music starts playing from the beginning. Was that a bug that got fixed? I could not find anything about this in the changelogs, so Im not sure if this was intentional.

love.load is a function you write; if anything, some audio functionality has changed between 0.9 and 0.10, so i'd check love.audio on the wiki.
Then again, post your love.load function, and maybe we can tell what changed.

The thing is that if i launch my game with 0.9.2 then it goes on, but if i launch the same .love with 0.10.1 then it stops after love.load is called. I did not change anything on my end.

In more detail, playing/paused/stopped states have been messed with, so it can work differently.
Me asking you for your love.load function still stands though.

This is a pretty messy pile of code, so prepare yourself.

Okay, so, the function i asked for:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	opSys = love.system.getOS()
	
	gamestate = 'startScreen'
	
	ui.load()
	monkey.load()
	world.load()
	grenade.load()
	music.load() -- first guess
	
	love.audio.setVolume(0.2)
end

Looking into music.lua brings me here:

Code: Select all

function music.update(dt)
	music.track[1].audio:play() -- <---------------------------------------------
	
	if ui.muteMusic then
		music.track[1].audio:setVolume(0)
	else
		music.track[1].audio:setVolume(1.5)
	end
end

You don't want to call play each update, since it's both wrong and pointless.
If you want it to loop, then do music.track[1].audio:setLooping(true) in music.load, and either start playing the track there as well, or call play somewhere else, but only once.

No idea why the behaviour changed though, then again, i didn't look into it that much.

Neat gorilla.bas remake though.

Oh my god! I didnt even know this game existed! This is awesome! Thanks for your help anyway, I still can do something stupid like that play call in update, so it definetly helps to have someone point that out
