9/10 servers I join I have to suffer through someone's shitty dubstep playlist because he/she fails to understand that music is highly subjective and not everyone has the same taste.
And then if you alt-tab the game, the music still persists.
I liked the peaceful loading screen with the little files flying across the screen, music free. What is does the Facepunch community think of this feature?
Because you can't control what is contained in the HTML loading screens. Just mute the awesomium process.

if you don't unmute it, any media players ingame such as youtube or the many media sources of gmodtower will also be muted
It's allowed because the owners pay for the server, and the scripts they use/made. They have the right to use music, agreed most of it is trash, but nothing to do about it.. xc

They don't pay for it; The wonderful 14 year old admins' parents do.
I'm just saying that Garry allowing people to customize the loading screen was a retarded decision knowing his playerbase.

the playerbase back then wasn't as similar as now ya know.
and if you notice sound coming from the loading screen, just fucking leave the server? not every single server on garry's mod is going to have music coming out of the loading screen, and not every single server is shit.
When you use music it can help create a good atmosphere for first time joiners, meaning the server can be more unique.
Also no offense but I think its quite stupid to try and limit creativity just because you don't like what music people are putting on the loading screen. I like that we have the ability to do such things even if 9/10 servers I join have dub step music blaring in my ears.
If anything that is a good notification to not join the server. If the owner cared more about how his server looked on first join he would put music on there that is liked by the majority or use a subtle type of music that fits well with loading screens.I know for my server loading screen I have a song that fits extremely well in the style of loading screen music.
And there goes my faith.
Sure music could do it, if everyone had the same taste in music, and it wasn't force to be listened the entirety of the loading.
the server admin could bombard you with trashy tunes if he wanted to ingame at all times
you should really get over it if the joining menu bothers you; it is just an extension of playing on the server

I modified the Soil template that was posted in Gamemodes and Addons a long time ago. Only a tiny bit, changed the background and music. [URL="http://smashinglim.es/loading/index.php?template=soil"]Is this welcoming enough/quiet enough[/URL] to not be considered invasive as fuck?

i can't imagine how the music fits the server theme unless you happen to run a celtic viking server or something
i think most players prefer the silence

It's more of just a dose of calm music to settle people in. That was the original intent with the music Soil used, as well, since it obviously doesn't fit with a server theme. :P
my actual problem with music download pages are that they hardly even play
they attempt to start up for two or three seconds and just lock up or the server finishes
this just makes them annoying
[QUOTE]Why is music allowed to be in the loading screen?[/QUOTE]
because you haven't downloaded willox's loading screen override module yet

Link because I'm tired of pony dubstep raping my sanity
99.9% of the time its just ear rape.

They allow music on loading screens simply so I can play "This is halloween" by Manson every October to connecting players.
dub step is not okay
ambient music is okay
I wouldn't care as much about loading screen music if the windows volume mixer didn't freeze up any time I tried to access it while connecting to a server

I'm sure your $19.99/month professional 14 year old admins find the music very pleasing as well.
Loading screens that play videos, that's when you know it's a parody server.

This is where your stupidity fails you, since we've actually NEVER had music on the loading screen. So I'm sure the $9.99 admins do, anyone who quotes $19.99 is a drama enticing whore who knows nothing.
Music on the loading screen is actually very annoying, and I lie we did have Mansons Halloween on a few years ago just for Halloween night. We also decorated the server very nicely that year with some fun clientside model renditions, all purely optional and with the ability to turn it off etc.
I hate the shitty loading music too, and I just leave and join another more serious server. Just choose another one and blacklist all of them that have music.
