BGS - The BackgroundSet

[Cody]

Which rock hermits are you using - Griff's, Oolite's, or another?

[Scoria]

Griff's as it seem default now.

edit: is there a separate shipdata.plist for Griffs's? I couldn't find one and assumed that because it's default now the default shipdata applies to Griff's. Come to think of it I couldn't even find Griff's textures.

[Cody]

Ahh... you mean the core rock hermits in Oolite 1.80, yes?

[Scoria]

Yup

[Cody]

Okay - find the rock hermit section in Oolite's shipdata.plist, add script_info = {bgs_tunnel_shape = "2.0";}; to it thus...

Code: Select all

"oolite_template_rock-hermit" = 
	{
		ai_type = "oolite-rockHermitAI.js";
		allegiance = "neutral";
		script_info = {bgs_tunnel_shape = "2.0";};
		cargo_type = "CARGO_NOT_CARGO";
		energy_recharge_rate = 5;
		"equipment_price_factor" = 4.5;
		"equivalent_tech_level" = 1;
		forward_weapon_type = "WEAPON_NONE";
		frangible = 0;
		has_ecm = yes;
		has_escape_pod = no;
		has_scoop = no;
		is_carrier = 1;
		is_template = 1;

... save and restart holding shift down 'til the spinning Cobra appears.

That should work for now - but I'm sure there's a better way to add it. <awaits a boffin>

[Scoria]

Hmm that is what I was trying to no avail. Will try again after this trade run. I'm probably doing something wrong to be honest.

[Cody]

Alternatively, install Griff's station bundle OXP and add that line to the rock hermit section of its shipdata.plist - that works too.

[Scoria]

Yay we have liftoff! Moving it up a couple of lines fixed it. I must have had a misplaced semicolon somewhere or something. Had my first run in with Thargoids while testing.

Sorry about wasting your time and thanks for the help!

 Snoopers now made optional.

Download 1.10 from the in game OXZ update manager or from:

• BGS-A 1.10 (OXP)
• BGS-A 1.10 (OXZ)

[Tricky]

Checks for the correct version of  Snoopers if installed.

Download 1.10.1 from the in game OXZ update manager or from:

• BGS-A 1.10.1 (OXP)
• BGS-A 1.10.1 (OXZ)

[Cody]

Using the OXP variant, I'm not seeing the BGS docking tunnel effects - instead, I get these:

Code: Select all

15:32:31.697 [script.javaScript.exception.notDefined]: ***** JavaScript exception (BGS-M 1.10.1): ReferenceError: st is not defined

The OXZ managed variant seems fine - I just gotta recall how to tinker inside OXZs.

Same error here with the latest oxz version.

Code: Select all

Gah! That's what I get for refractoring the code at 4am. Changed a parameter name for better readability.

Fixed.

Download 1.10.2 from the in game OXZ update manager or from:
