I am playing Oolite 1.84. Does this OXP negate the need to have both BGS and CCL in my AddOns folder?

[Cody]

Yes - you'll need BGS 2.0, but not CCL, if you install Library.

[Svengali]

CCL? It depends on what kind of AddOns you're using.
As Cody already pointed out BGS2.0 doesn't need it and my other AddOns (Snoopers and Vector) will switch to Library as well. Library also replaces OXPConfig and Hyperradio - both were just to limited and Library offers better functionality.

With Hyperradio.js I added .ogg filenames to the playList array and moved the .ogg files to the Music folder. How is this handled with Library 1.0?

To add a radio channel

Code: Select all

this.startUpComplete = function(){
	delete this.startUpComplete;
	worldScripts.Lib_Music._addChannel({name:"MyCustomChannel",radio:1,sounds:[
		{snd:"MyOXPTrack01.ogg",dur:240},
		{snd:"MyOXPTrack02.ogg",dur:223}
	]});
};

Custom channels are not automagically played, but you can activate them through Lib_Config (the setting is saved with your savedgame). It is possible to activate them via script, but this should be done only for missions to take over.

[CaptSolo]

So, looking at your music demo, am I correct in assuming I need to code a separate OXP and then use Library's Config AddOn to get back the functionality I had with Hyperradio?

[Svengali]

It depends on what you really want .-)

The simplest way would be to add your files to the "generic" channel (as per demo). This channel (and "docking" and "fight") are automagically used and don't have to be activated through Lib_Config. The same is true for entity name channels (e.g. "Rock Hermit").

Custom radio channels on the other hand are meant to be used by music expansions, e.g. a Blues channel. Users can install a few and select what they want through Lib_Config. The activated channels are then cloned+merged into one playlist.

And yes, in all cases it needs an OXP which tells Lib_Music what to do.

[CaptSolo]

Doing a little experimenting and I must say, Library and the new version of BGS rock!

[Svengali]

Just as sidenote: I really think that we are in dire need of a community driven library to aid AddOn-developers and players. If you take a look at available AddOns you can see that a lot of code goes into duplicated functionality and attempts to be compatible to other AddOns. What a waste.

Thanks Cody.-) I'll implement the new method names.
