Summary0003374: Add a spawnarg for a location_settings ambients to allow for more seamless backtracks
DescriptionAdd a spawnarg for a location_settings ambient to allow more seamless backtracks even after outgoing ambient goes silent, for a short duration (before it turns off & the looping is killed).

From the thread on this: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/14664-info-location-speakers-not-looping/

Consider putting a new spawnarg like "backtrack_looping_duration" (or maybe a shorter or better name) for v1.09, which will keep the ambient on a little bit of time even after it's gone silent to allow ambients with short fodurations to still continue looping on relatively quick backtracks.

In other words, a "sys.wait( <time in ms> );" command with this duration before the soundOff command that turns the outgoing ambient channel off.

On reflection, I'm not sure this is really necessary.

If an ambient cuts out quickly, there's not much need for it to loop when you back track, because a cut out has already been made.

Biker's original issue that started this wasn't really the loop, but the overlapping fading + looping, which already exists when you have the right settings. So I think I'll close this entry unless someone else thinks it's needed.
