I seem to have an issue with this latest version. I get the message "BGS-M-Check the Latest.log". The background images are working but not the sounds or new witch space stuff.

I have removed all other OXPs and reloaded and still had the same problem (I have 1.77).

Small thing on upgrading to 1.77 (love the new lasers). On jumping I still get the BGS cool warping effect, but then get the old-school rings. Using BGS on the last release (non-truck) the BGS effect completely replaced the rings. No biggy, but is anyone else getting this. Have updated BGS to the new version.

Forgive the dumb question, LB: did you also update the CCL OXP?

It's good that you've seen v1.5.2, but it will be better to use v1.6. BGS has switched to the new implemented VisualEffect class. So just grab the latest version and compare the effect with the old one.

Svengali, using all requisite current versions, no matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the countdown offset to save with OXPConfig. In fact, the changes don't seem to take at all, saved or not.

And hey! Welcome back, LB! Long time no see.. 8)

Confirmed.

It's a typo in this.oxpcSettings. Change the .Name entry for the SInt2 from "bgsCountOffset" to "bgsCountOffsetS".

Fantastic! Thanks! 8)

Now all I need to do is figure out why the Halsis sounds don't play at all.. :? :cry:

Probably because the delay is now set to bgsCountOffsetS * 50 :oops:

Using this.bgsCountOffset = this.bgsCountOffsetS*0.05; in this.oxpcNotifyOnChange should solve this. The resulting value gets added to clock.absoluteTime whenever the countdown gets started.

Ok, I'll fix that.. but um.. I mean.. NONE of the halsis sounds play.. targeting, missile lock, mass-lock, you name it. The countdown settings wouldn't affect those, would they?

Right. This is probably simply the loading order of the customsounds.plist. You could try to rename halsis.oxp to Halsis.oxp.
