New page

This OXP Creates an engine sound that follows the speed of the your ship and additional sounds when engaging and stopping the torus drive.

=== Dependencies ===
Oolite version 1.79 or later.

=== Instructions ===
Download .oxz file and move into the AddOns folder of your Oolite installation.

If you want to change the volume settings, rename the download file to .zip and move its contents (3 folders and 2 plist files) to a sub folder (e.g. "Engine Sounds FG") in your AddOns folder. The settings can be found in the file engine_sound_fg.js in the "Scripts" subfolder.

This OXP is based on ideas developed in [http://oolite.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17920 the Oolite forum] and on a demonstration OXP by [[User:Norby|Norby]]. An updated version of Norby's OXP is available under [[Engine Sound]].

The sound files were taken from [[BGS|BGS OXP]] by Pagroove, PhantorGorth, Thargoid, Tricky & Svengali, and modified by Norby.

=== Differences to Engine Sounds OXP by Norby ===
This OXP uses the same 25 sound files as Engine Sounds but choses them in relation speed/maxSpeed. Norby's OXP uses the absolute value for speed for file selection, so slower ships will sound differently at top speed than faster ships. With this OXP, all ships sound the same but can use the full "spectrum" of the available sound files.

Further difference are that this OXP has a "standby sound" when speed is zero and the engine sound keeps running during torus driving. Finally, this OXP creates sounds on starting and stopping the torus drive. The files used are taken from BGS OXP, where they are used for acceleration and deceleration. This can be deactivated in the configuration section of the script file, where you can also adjust the volume levels if you find them too loud for continuous playing.

Obviously you shouldn't install both OXPs at the same time.

=== Differences to the engine sounds in BGS OXP and compatibility issues ===
BGS uses a constant ambient engine sound when speed > 0 (using the sound file that is played at 25 different speeds in this and Norby's OXP). So in BGS you can't hear speed differences, and this actually started the discussion mentioned above. That's why BGS uses two additional sound files to create accelerating and deceleration noises - the files are used in this OXP for the torus drive.

BGS and this OXP can be used together (tested with BGS-A 1.10.9.). Because of a combined "switch" for radio chatter and ambient engine sound, using this OXP sadly also disables the chatter. This can probably only be fixed in BGS itself.

-=== Differences to the engine sounds in BGS OXP and compatibility issues ===
+BGS and this OXP can be used together, but if the BGS ambient sounds are left on, not only the crowd noise and the radio chatter will be played but also a (constant) engine sound. The "double engine" doesn't sound bad but is of course a little bit louder, so it could be a good idea to increase the maneuvering and perhaps the standby sound volume (BGS turns off its engine sound completely on standstill).
-BGS and this OXP can be used together (tested with BGS-A 1.10.9.). Because of a combined "switch" for radio chatter and ambient engine sound, using this OXP sadly also disables the chatter. This can probably only be fixed in BGS itself.
+There is a switch in engine_sound_fg.js to turn of the BGS ambient sounds. If both chatter and crowd noise have been disabled in BGS, the BGS engine sound will be turned off in any case.
