BGS - The BackgroundSet

[Commander_X]

Some of the BGS sounds in 1.10.1 and 1.10.2 (OXZs) don't play (e.g. engine up, engine down, chatter).
Is there any new setting to look into (by simply replacing with 1.9.3 they come back), or a remainder of the 4 a.m. refactoring ?

No, just me being dumb with 'undefined'

Fixed.

Download 1.10.3 from the in game OXZ update manager or from:

• BGS-A 1.10.3 (OXP)
• BGS-A 1.10.3 (OXZ)

I'm having a spot of bother installing BGS 1.10.3 - tried several times:

Code: Select all

21:58:22.094 [oxz.manager.error]: Downloaded OXZ does not have the same identifer and version as expected. This might be due to your manifests list being out of date - try updating it.

I hope the OXP variant listed above works, as having uninstalled the previous OXZ, I no longer have it on this machine.

Strange. The OXZ works, not sure what went wrong with the manifest. Will look at it when I get back home.

Should have read that bit about the OXP variant more carefully. Yes, it is exactly the same.

It had me scratching my head - but the OXP variant is working fine anyway (and that's easier to tweak, tbh).

[Tricky]

Which reminds me. I spotted a bug in the way that QBomb code is implemented. Assumes plists for the AI. Not correct for 1.79+

Fixed.

Acknowledged! Mission accomplished!

Figured it out. The URL was wrong. I did UPDATE it. Pushing to 1.10.4 even though there isn't anything different.

Just waiting on an update for GitHub.

Next post with update details.

[Tricky]

Nothing changed. manifest WAS set to the correct URL but somehow messed up. Checked twice and it is now correct.

Download 1.10.4 from the in game OXZ update manager or from:

• BGS-A 1.10.4 (OXP)
• BGS-A 1.10.4 (OXZ)

Muchas gracias! Here... have a cookie! I'll be about swapping-out the buy/sell .oggs again - I prefer Oolite's own, you see.
Oh yeah... is the 'weapons safe' speech .ogg a bit screwed-up? It has always sounded odd to me.

There are 1 or 2 .oggs that need to be squashed from stereo to mono. Wish that there was an easy way to check the tags. Audacity seems to load a separate instance for each file rather than a separate window and Explorer just doesn't report that info.

As for updated .oggs that 'sound right', come one, come all... Help me out.

As of 1.9 (the latest version I have easily to hand), the stereo ones were:

Code: Select all

bgs-c_auto_norange.ogg
bgs-c_auto_off.ogg
bgs-c_auto_on.ogg
bgs-c_breakpattern.ogg
bgs-c_buy.ogg
bgs-c_cargo_jet.ogg
bgs-c_energylow.ogg
bgs-c_fuel_leak.ogg
bgs-c_game_over.ogg
bgs-c_hit.ogg
bgs-c_in_missile.ogg
bgs-c_laser.ogg
bgs-c_mine_launched.ogg
bgs-c_mis_armed.ogg
bgs-c_mis_heat.ogg
bgs-c_mis_safe.ogg
bgs-c_nosystem.ogg
bgs-c_pod_scoop.ogg
bgs-c_sell.ogg
bgs-c_tar_lost.ogg
bgs-m_ambi_station2.ogg
bgs-m_countdown_g.ogg
bgs-m_fx_witchenter1.ogg

file *.ogg is the command on Linux; if you have MinGW installed you might have it available on Windows too.

Thanx for the update, began missing the cycle up and down sounds...

I have Cygwin, will have to check if I have the ‘file’ command.

Some of the files need to stay stereo for the ambience.

After the update it works like a charm, thanx!
