Jump sequence

Docking sequence

Overview

BackGroundSet (BGS) comes with more than 130 sounds, images for all standard GUI-Screens and with visual effects for docking/launching & hyperjumping. It enhances the overall look and feel of the game and is expandable and configurable.

Oolite will never be the same. It feels like a whole new game.

Features

• FX (Sound eFfeCTS) engine sounds for player ships.
• Radio chatter when in the aegis of the main station or flagged secondary stations.
• FX when docked on standard GUI (General/Graphical User Interface) screens (eg the F2, F3, -- F8 screens).
• All natively supported sounds by Oolite.
• Background images for all standard GUI screens.
• Timed countdowns to witchjump.
• Improved visual effects for docking/launching, witch-space jumps and exits (only if shader support available).
• OXPs can define their own engine sounds, countdowns, chatter and docking sequence textures.
• Configurable by other OXPs (eg for missions!) through Library.
• Joystick throttle jitter handling.
