Overview

Backgroundset (or short BGS) is a framework for images, sounds and music. It is meant as a starting point and ships already a basic set - though this set is actually 3 oxps to do different jobs.

We have released these packs as separate oxps and an all-inclusive pack that combines them, so players can pick the one (or two or three) they like to use. An alternative sound pack is also available and more will follow.

Oolite will never be the same. It feels like a whole new game.

It also works with OXPs like Frame's Random Docking Music or Hyperradio and is compatible to OXPConfig2. Patches for Captain_Berf_Pilot, CustomSounds, Halsis and Hawksound are also available. Additionally it grabs entries from shipdata.plist and missiontext.plist. This way player-ships can have unique soundsets and stations can have specific ambient music and other soundpacks can use the mechanism in BGS.

The packs:

  • BGS-A is the all-inclusive version to get a consistent pack. It includes BGS-C, BGS-I and BGS-M.

The following single packs have been released:

  • BGS-C is a modified version of Aegidians customsounds.oxp, based on Oolites customsounds.plist.
  • BGS-I is a set of background images, based on Oolites screenbackgrounds.plist.
  • BGS-M is a script that controls ambient music and ambient sounds plus a few special sound effects.

Features

  • Plays sounds and music when docked.
  • Custom engine sounds. Now you can make your ship oxp unique by providing it with its own engine sound.
  • Custom station music. We provided you with 2 tunes on the go but you can make your own.
  • Custom sounds inflight (included is an easy to use customsounds.plist) to allocate your own sounds.
  • Images for Intro, Load, Save, Options, Equipment, Shipyard, Status, Manifest, Charts, SystemData, Market and Contracts screen.
  • Useable for other oxps to define own engine sounds or music.
  • Configurable (by editing or OXPConfig2).
  • Timed countdowns and shader effect for hyperspace jumps (and galactic jumps).
  • BGS-XMapping support on LongRangeChart.
  • Documentation for OXP-developers and players.
  • Pagroove has created a nice demo video -> YouTube.
