Backgroundset (or short BGS) is a framework for images, sounds and music. It is meant as a starting point and ships already a basic set - though this set is actually 3 oxps to do different jobs.

Backgroundset (or short BGS) is a framework for images, sounds and music. It ships more than 100 sounds, images for all standard GUI screens and enhances the overall look and feel of the game. The AddOn is expandable, highly configurable and compatible to [[Random_Docking_Music_OXP|Random Docking Music]], [[Delightful_Docking|Delightful Docking]] or [[Hyperradio_js_OXP|Hyperradio]]. Patches for [[Captain_Berf_Pilot|Captain Berf Pilot]], [[CustomSounds_OXP|CustomSounds]], [[Halsis]] and [[Hawksound]] are also available.

We have released these packs as separate [[OXP|OXPs]] and an all-inclusive pack that combines them, so players can pick the one (or two or three) they like to use. An alternative sound pack is also available and more will follow.

It also works with OXPs like Frame's [[Random_Docking_Music_OXP|Random Docking Music]] or [[Hyperradio_js_OXP|Hyperradio]] and is compatible to [[OXPConfig|OXPConfig2]]. Patches for [[Captain_Berf_Pilot]], [[CustomSounds_OXP|CustomSounds]], [[Halsis]] and [[Hawksound]] are also available.

Additionally it grabs entries from shipdata.plist. This way player-ships can have unique soundsets and stations can have specific ambient music. Other soundpacks can use the mechanism in BGS by using a small script.
