Does this mean you have a list of the system IDs for each region/lane? If so, could I have a copy please? (If it's not finished, then obviously I'm happy to take what you have so far, compile the rest myself, and give you that back)

Just installed the BGS - er, wow! The hyperspace jump is as it should be.

But I laughed out loud to "cloaking device activated".

is there a simple fix for this or would it be helpful to post my log?

BGS-XMapping is a additional module for BGS (not available yet, but the support for it is already in BGS-A and BGS-M). It displays the named regions and spacelanes from ClymAngus maps via overlay on the Long Range Chart. The script checks the position of the cursor (red cross) against sets of inserted polys or lines. Supported are 4 different types of shapes (Rectangle, Circle, NPoly and Line). To speed up the processing inserted shapes are getting a bounding box internally.

BGS-XMapping.oxp will start the player with only 1 region (The old worlds) and 1 lane in G1. From time to time players will receive a update via Snoopers for the current galaxy and over time they have all regions and lanes together. OXPs can expand on that and insert own maps. Additionally there is functionality for 'special maps' (e.g. all Navy HQs) and OXPs can insert own overlays. The special maps are handled differently as there is no position check for them, but they can be activated by steering the cursor over the areas on the right side. The functionality can be controlled in the same way. The right side has areas for switching the mapping on/off, toggles for regions and lanes and three slots for special maps and cycling through the available special maps. If no maps are available in the current galaxy (right now) BGS disables the feature.

The insertion is not documented, simply because BGS-X is not finished yet and we won't get it out before christmas, which is my fault - updates for the other OXPs and some RL productions have eaten my time .-) G6 is nearly completed, but progress is really slow atm. I'll upload the current status and send you the link with some instructions how to use the insertion.

Intel core i3 laptop with integrated hd 3000 graphics chipset. It may seem weedy but it runs the game with full shaders and 20+ oxp's.

Many thanks

What's the current status on BGS-X?

Curious to the new jump sequences

Hi! I was wondering if it's possible to have background images at higher resolutions. I'm playing at 1920x1200, and they look a litte blocky.
If I could get the source images, perhaps, I could try to adapt them. :)

I would also like to report a small problem with the sound effects. Randomly, and always when I stop my ship, I keep hearing the sounds of engines going up and down.
To avoid this, I temoprally commented this two lines in customsounds.plist

Code: Select all

"[bgs_fxEngineDown]" = "bgs-m_fx_enginedown1.ogg";
"[bgs_fxEngineUp]" = "bgs-m_fx_engineup1.ogg";
