Nah, here comes my request. Is there possibility to increase total amount of spawned PAR3 ? Currently it is 1000. I think like 100 000 would be nice. Or is it short, limited to about 65 000 ??? That would be nice as well.
Hi Neo, In the latest oni split 0.9.55, there seems to be a problem with converting ONCC files,
:REASON: 1000 particles maximum. Each decal is count as particle. We want to make AE shinier. That involves more particles spawned at one time, especially during gang fights. Even in original Oni, when playing arena scripts, sometimes you can see that victim is hit but no flash appears as all decals are used at that moment. So we should increase number of decals for those flashes. But then, when limit (1000) is hit, engine starts removing the oldest particles again.
It fails to convert ONCC.xml files made by earlier to oni files .. says something about jump fields, the ONCC xml created by older versions are different from the ones created by this one, different fields <Jump Constants> and <Air Constants> instead of <Physics>, that would be ok we could switch to the new layout. However onisplit v.55 also fails to convert ONCC.xml it created back to oni. .. convert any ONCC.oni to xml, try to convert that xml back to oni, it fails.


:100 000 is maybe overrated, but I think it this way: 200 decals for each fight PAR3, 5 000 for each various bulletholes/burns/shrapnels/casing/shielding/etc.
2- It is also unable to convert a TRAM.oni file made from a dae by older versions back to xml : Operation is not valid due to current state of object. (containing QKEYS) while 0.941 is able to convert them.


Thank you in advance.

For decals you can try changing this value in the exe:


  0x4EAD6: ff 8f 01 00 - int32, decal buffer size in bytes


For particles you can try changing these:
Hi Neo, a bug has been ecountered by me in OniSplit's xml export. The bug applies on versions 0.9.50.0 and 0.9.52.0. If exported TRAM file has direct animation links, only the second direct link is written into XML file. The first direct link is ignored (is always an empty element).


  0x55D63: 50 C3 00 00 - int32, particle memory block size
This is an excerpt from KONCOMcomb_p_p XML file as created by OniSplit 0.9.52.0:
  0x55D9F: 50 C3 00 00
        <DirectAnimations>
  0x55DAD: 50 C3 00 00
            <Link />
  0x582CF: 50 C3 00 00
            <Link>TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_k</Link>
        </DirectAnimations>


It should be:
        <DirectAnimations>
            <Link>TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_p</Link>
            <Link>TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_k</Link>
        </DirectAnimations>


The decals hack might work (try double that value) but I'm not sure about particles. It would be simpler to increase the number of 50000 bytes memory blocks (the default is 100) but that cannot be done so we need to increase the block size which can lead to unexpected problems.
Binary (*.oni) files contain both direct links. Exported XML files don't. Since usually only the first direct link is used, this bug poses quite a nuisance. Thank you in advance.


And there's no way you can get 100000 particles unless you have a 100GHz processor :)
: It might be that the binary (oni/exe) are corrupted. My version of TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p.oni was correctly extracted with onisplit 52. --[[User:Paradox-01|paradox-01]] 19:00, 8 July 2011 (CEST)


[[User:Neo|Neo]]
While I'm here I will take the chance to also ask something. I'm trying to create a combo. The animations work fine with animation type Kick, Kick2, Kick3 but not with KickRight, KrKr*, KrKrKr**. Could it be that those* animation types are dead? I hope you will find out what's wrong. --[[User:Paradox-01|paradox-01]] 19:00, 8 July 2011 (CEST)


==OniSplit 0.9.27==
: Loser: The problem more than likely was the fact that the TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_p.oni was not in the same directory as  TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p. To test, I removed TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_p.oni and got the same result as you did, added it back and got the correct output. OniSplit wants all the files to be in the same directory.  [[User:EdT|EdT]] 23:36, 8 July 2011 (CEST)

Hey, testing out TRAM import right now...using it for an explosive barrel.
----


I have a 1 frame animation where the pelvis consists of this - <EKey>1 0 0 0</EKey> I know the first part is the number of frames, but what are the others? I need to rotate the barrel 90 degrees upward.


See this: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d159/gumbyWA/barrel.jpg
Neo, do you think we can have something like a -nodeps argument added to OniSplit? We could use a way to prevent the program from automatically following all dependencies when exporting files like ONCCs to XML. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 14:26, 6 July 2011 (CEST)
:Oops, never mind, it sounds like this is already OniSplit's default behavior.... --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 16:24, 6 July 2011 (CEST)


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 19:25, 11 September 2008 (CEST)
-----
Pathfinding issue fixed, though it seems to be still slightly off:


You can take a look here: [[OBD:TRAM/raw0x34]]. Appart from the fact that I swapped the number of frames with the rotations it's the same thing. To summarize:
[[Image:junkyard_PFG.jpg]]


The 3 values after number of frames are:
There is still the issue of falling through the ground.
:*rotations around X, Y and Z axes
:*stored as signed integers with values between -32768 and 32767


To convert those values to degrees you need to multiply by (180 / 32767.5).
level files are here: http://edt.oni2.net/testlevel/junkyard.zip


To convert from degrees you need to multiply by (32767.5 / 180).
[[User:EdT|EdT]] 03:14, 18 June 2011 (CEST)


You probably need to rotate the barrel by 90 degrees around X or Z axis. That probably means <EKey>1 16384 0 0</EKey> or <EKey>1 0 0 16384</EKey>


[[User:Neo|Neo]]


Hah! It worked. Thank you very much. I was wondering why they were so large, for being rotations. ^_^
Hi Neo,


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 22:06, 11 September 2008 (CEST)
I was able to create the pathfinding grids, however, they are offset from the geometry. Also, there is a spot where you will fall through the ground.


A mystery: If you set a character to be invulnerable through the TRAM, the refuses to shoot you with the Black Adder. Do you know why?
[[Image:junkyard.png]]


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 01:16, 12 September 2008 (CEST)
The bnv itself is correct:


Nope. Are you sure it is because of the invulnerability?
[[Image:junkyard_bnv.png]]


[[User:Neo|Neo]]
Here are my files: http://edt.oni2.net/testlevel/TestLevel.zip


Thanks you for TRAM done. You are '''No.1'''
EDIT: Tested OniSplit with the arena level data: <nowiki>http://mods.oni2.net/system/files/80200ArenaofHurt.zip</nowiki>
Extracted the AKEV, then used create:akev to import the level.  The pathfinding grids were offset from the geometry and there were areas where the player will fall through the floor.  


Anyways, here is report on increasing particle memory blocks' size: Failure. Max value that was Oni able to withstand was FF|FF|00|00. Then there was maybe + 10 or so particles, but in exchange it was extremely unstable. More than 65535 resulted in crash when some particle was spawned. Dang it. This is 100% wrong way.
[[User:EdT|EdT]] 01:03, 17 June 2011 (CEST)


Decal buffer incrementation: Failure as well. Tried 2x original value, then 1.5x. Oni hangs in both cases when there is too much decals. And last decal was weridly deformed.
-----


No use. We need new engine or source... but thank you for informations.


P.S.: How can I find if I caused memory corruption ? I am modyfing throws now, and Geyser told me that in previous version of TRAM modifications, some TRAMs caused mem corruption. I don't want to repeat same mistakes. Thank you in advance.


--[[User:Loser|Loser]] 16:12, 12 September 2008 (CEST)
Hi Neo,
I have tried Your ".dae" to ".xml" animation importer. I keep getting message ".dae files cannot be imported as TRAM". Can you tell me please where is the problem? Thank you. --[[User:Loser|Loser]] 13:00, 11 July 2010 (UTC)


OK, I did some more checks:
Hello, to import an animation you need an xml file and a dae file. If you try to export a TRAM to xml you get both files and when importing you need to provide the xml file, not the dae file. The dae file is referenced from inside the xml file (see the DaeImport element) [[User:Neo|Neo]]
:*Particles: there's basically no way to have a particle block larger than 65535. However, to my knowledge the maximum size of a particle is 256 bytes so with this increase you should be able to get 600 more particles (60 / per block * 100 blocks).
:*Decals: in theory it is possible to increase the decal buffer size but the hack would be rather extensive. Basically you would need something like Daodan dll to replace some function in the exe.




TRAM and memory corruption: tipically you cannot find it until the game crashes. If you manage to make it crash consistently with new animations then give me the animations and I'll see what I can do.
New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.52 (<nowiki>https://cid-639aa31296681bfe.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Oni/OniSplit/OniSplit%5E_v0.9.52.zip</nowiki>, dead link)


[[User:Neo|Neo]]
What's new:
:* When a TRBS file is exported to xml the geometry is exported to separate .dae files, one .dae file for each LOD
:* New -anim-body option. This allows a particular body (ONCC or TRBS) to be specified when exporting animations:


On the invulnerable TRAM: Yes, I am sure. The character has the invulnerable animation as a default. I commmand him to do another animation, he gets shot at. When the animation stops, and his invunerable idle animation starts, the shooting stops again.
  onisplit -extract:xml out -anim-body:ONCCbarabus.oni TRAMsomething.oni


On something else:
:* New -recurse option for the xml exporter. Have fun :)


I thought dangerous particle awareness was fixed, but avoiding them was broken? In this image: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/5205/linesun5.jpg It seems that awareness is still broken, look at the blue (or used to be blue, until my image editing program messed up the colors) lines. They still point toward the origin. Aren't they supposed to point toward the danger? However, he does avoid it properly as long as you aren't standing between him and the origin.
  onisplit -extract:xml out -recurse ONCCbarabus.oni


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 22:14, 12 September 2008 (CEST)
:* Changed light color in the environment importer to white (it used to be blueish)
:* New -env-notxmp option. This prevents the automatic creation of TXMP files while importing the environment.
:* Made -normals work when importing TRBS from xml + dae files.


Invulnerable TRAM: so, if my understanding is correct an AI character won't shoot at another character that runs an invulnerable animation and that happens only with Black Adder? Kind of strange if it happens only with one particular weapon.
New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.41


Projectile awareness: there's another bug in that function, here's the fix
What's new:


:*file offset 0x9C110, new value 0x6C
:* fixed the Collada importer to work with 3DSMax exported files


[[User:Neo|Neo]]
New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.40


Thanks. I've only tested the TRAM against the Black adder, SBG, and Plasma Rifle. Let me go try the VDG and the Campbell.
What's new:


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 23:04, 12 September 2008 (CEST)
:* support for exporting/importing [[OBD:BINA/SABD|sound animations]] to/from xml files
:* better Collada export for environment
:* support for full color transparent textures (-format:bgra32 on the command line, ARGB8888 format in an xml file)
:* different (hopefully better) xml export format for animations (this one is actually from 0.9.38 but since that wasn't mentioned here...)
:* a more or less complete animation importer. This one deservers some notes:
::-unlike other importers that produce .oni files this one produces and .xml file (similar to the one you get when exporting a TRAM)
::when you do
  onisplit -create:tram target_dir animation.dae
::in the target dir you'll get a TRAManimation.xml file.
::You need to add some stuff to that file to make it actually work as an animation. In particular the animation type, from/to states and varient needs to be set.
::-For all I know this works with animations exported from Oni and modified in Softimage. If you come up with a completly new animation it should work as long as the skeleton is similar to the one used in Oni.
::-Note that the geometry that is present inside the Collada file is used to compute the "vertical extents" so it better be the same or close to the one the animation is intended for.
::-The biggest problem are the attacks. While it's not difficult to add attacks to the xml file, computing the necessary "extents" is not going to be easy. I guess in the end I'll have to add some command to OniSplit to do it.
::-Everything else that I forgot :)

New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.37


Earlier today I realized that, at least with my copy of the modded Oni executable, AI does not avoid persistent dangers like the Screaming Cell or Scram warheads, only gunfire that I emit constantly from my weapon. Is that supposed to be fixed, or will the above hex change fix it, or was it never fixed at all? I know I saw a hack for avoiding the Cell being demoed on YouTube quite some time ago.
What's new:


@ Gumby's vid: o.O The lines don't seem to have any bearing on the Thug's ability to dodge the threat; also, why didn't the MB disappear post-explosion? --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 03:32, 13 September 2008 (CEST)
:* support for transparency in the environment importer


Yes, use that hex value. The lines do something. :D They don't appear if there isn't a threat. They are supposed to point towards the bomber, but they don't. Don't know why, but I'm looking into it, unless Neo knows. When you use stuff like the Screaming Cannon, the lines point toward the warhead (IIRC).


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 06:00, 13 September 2008 (CEST)
New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.35


So I can't see mem corruption until it crashes? Good X_X. Heh, here comes my two cents for AI2 dodging:
What's new:


1st, Gumby, that blue-lines-constantly-point-to-origin bug was reported by me several months ago. I reported it repeatedly, even with video proof, but got nothing ("you have to wait, we have more important things to do..."). So thank you that you finally got answer for me ^_^. You are like magician. You ask -> you get.
:* conversion of recorded films (.dat binary files) to xml files that can be used to create FILM .oni files


2nd, those blue lines are pointing towards "source of danger" (Neo has better name for it?). In case of firingspread, source is character's weapon. In case of projectiles, source is dangerous projectile. That green line is something like "vector of movement", pointing where character moves right now. Dodging can be (at least for firingspread) modified in [[ONCC]]. You can set how strong is this "vector" of dodging (so when AI2 has vector towards you AND you shoot, it can dodge more or less). You can also set how long this vector should last from the moment it was created.  Don't know if those values affect projectile dodging as well.
    OniSplit film2xml out_dir film.dat


Iritscen: Instructions how to get projectile awerness (credits go to Neo): In standard EXE, find and change:
----
:0x9C07C: change 30 to 6C
Neo
:0x9C080: change 34 to 70
:0x9C084: change 38 to 74
:0x9C110: change 30 to 6C
That should do it.

Thank geyser. I asked him on it, and then he must have asked Neo. But the bomber awareness is still messed up. No matter what, he dodges in the direction of the origin. Look at the video again. The blue lines aren't pointed towards the bomber, AND he runs toward the bomber (and the origin, i think), instead of away. And thank you Loser for making the wonderful ONCCs that come with Edition. They really help with dodging. You will have to help me soon though. I'm working on making the bombers more "suicidal". :)

Thanks [[User:EdT|EdT]]


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 08:40, 13 September 2008 (CEST)
Yep, caused by Z-up. I'll see what I can do.


Some quick answer to the projectile awareness stuff:
[[User:Neo|Neo]]
:* there was a bug which prevent it from computing correctly the distance between character and projectile; this one prevent dodging completly
:* there was another bug (the new 0x9C110 fix) that cause it to see a wrong direction vector; this one caused "alwatys dodge towards origin" behvaior
:* I don't know what's up with the bomber. I'm quite surprised that it does any kind of dodging because the bomber is not a projectile. I assume it tries to dodge the death particle but that particle has no velocity and that may cause the behavior you are seeing.


[[User:Neo|Neo]]
Hi Neo,


Hmm. A zero value for velocity might screw up things? I'll try to make a bomber particle that moves up and down or something.
When you have time, can you take a look at this:

Particle stuff:
When I use the latest FBX Converter 2010.2 to convert FBX to DAE, I get this problem.  However, when I use an older version, it works fine.  Here are the DAEs from both version: http://edt.oni2.net/temp/TRBSproblem.zip G2 is uses the new version, G1 uses the old.
:* for character collision event (HitCharacter) see one of the particles used with weapon, for example BINA3RAPw1_tap_p01.
:* for attachment add <HasAttachmentMatrix>true</HasAttachmentMatrix> in Properties section


[[User:Neo|Neo]]
Thanks [[User:EdT|EdT]]


More things I missed\messed up in my reply:
Oh boy, the new converter uses matrix transforms instead of individual scale/rotate/translate transforms. I'll see what I can do...
*The thug dodges toward an axis.
*The bomber was shapeshifted Konoko, making the body not disappear
*The old screamer video was unmodded Oni
*Remember that the hex changes are PC only

Hey, Neo, just remembered something. Your ONWC export needs a slight change.
I converted the files from Bobbysoon (TRAMID_run1stepb.DAE, TRAMID_runstart.DAE, TRAMID_runstop.DAE) to xml.  The XML gave the pelvis height as <Height>-2175.5</Height>, so I removed the negative and divided the height by 100.  But as you can see, the model floats above the ground.  Also, the velocity has some large numbers in the first part <Velocity>-4.076141 0</Velocity> I think that is the cause of the ID moving sideways not forward.

Partially fixed the awareness. I need to figure out why the spheres don't move like they are supposed to be doing. I have a feeling once I get them to move around, the  characters will "pay attention" to them better.

Two bugs.  
I was trying to make new animations, whenever you have time, please take a look. Thanks [[User:EdT|EdT]]


1. Characters can get stuck in the corner if you use soemthing like the screamer. (They try to run away, but get cornered, and don't want to dodge through the particle. Pretty predictable, normal behavoir. No big deal).


2. If character cannot see the character that created a dangerous particle, they don't dodge it at all.

Observations of importing TRAMs to XSI.


Aha, thanks very much.
Sometimes, imported TRAMs will have odd rotations mainly related to the pelvis and thighs. Here is one example, the Striker's walking TRAM:
http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/WalkOS.wmv  As you can see the pelvis and thighs are rotating in an odd fashion.  This is due to euler vs quaternion rotations.  To see it correctly in XSI, you can use the option to "Convert Euler Rotation to Quaternion" on the pelvis and thighs, then the animation appears correct: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/WalkQT.wmv  However, when importing a converted animation back to Oni, you get this result: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/WalkOni.wmv


[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 21:39, 14 September 2008 (CEST)
When a TRAM is imported to XSI, to "unwrap" a model from the default animation state, the right thigh is rotated 180 on the X axis and -180 on the Z axis, the left is rotated -180 on the X and -180 on the Z axis. Somehow, from this starting point, whenever XSI moves the thigh from a negative to a positive angle (or in the case of this example from positive to negative), the part would rotate the long way around as shown here: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/ThighXZaxis.wmv


Note about ONIE import: keep in mind that if you want to add new impact/materials you'll have to manually create the coresponding Mtrl*.oni and Impt*.oni files.  
One workaround is to insert keyframes to cause the animation to rotate in the correct direction.


[[User:Neo|Neo]]
I found another approach that seems to work, if you are making an animation from scratch. That is to rotate the thighs down 180 on the Y axis.  So far in my testing, there are no odd rotations: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/ThighYaxis.wmv


Neo, Can you please add to your to-do list the ability to import SNDD files, this is a request from OCF.  Thanks [[User:EdT|EdT]] 19:27, 20 September 2008 (CEST)
The Striker DAE files and the XSI scene files are here: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/TRAMfiles.zip

[http://www.paradox.oni2.net/IGSt_bug.zip Minor IGSt bug found.] The import doesn't recognize new lines which comes from "<text> </text>". There're 00 instead of 20 (one per such instance) in the reconverted file.
I'm still unsure how the XZ animation was produced. There's a keyframe (for the Z rotation of left_thigh) that causes this. It's value is 135 while all the other keyframes for Z are well below 0 (-150..-180). If you move that keyframe to something like -215 then the animation works fine. Or so it appears to me...

Hey, just posting on the issue of the animation freezing bug (the camera flying away when you enter a cheat). It seems that the flag in memory is only turned on when you exit the menu, not when you enter the cheat. Ahh, not sure if that helps. It has been happening to me a lot lately (every time I open the game), but it could be anything from using Rossy's C dll (testing if that aggravates it), to...well I don't know. If you could take a look at it that would be great though.[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 06:27, 28 September 2008 (CEST)
:That's true about changing the keyframe to -215, however, for all the TRAMs exported from Oni, the number for the rotations are always less than 180 or -180. When the thigh is positioned in front of the body, the rotation on the Z axis is negative, between the range of -0.x to -179.x and when it is positioned behind the body, the rotation number is positive, between the range of 0.x to 179.x. So my XZ animation was reflecting that aspect. [[User:EdT|EdT]]


::Ah, I didn't think about that. I don't think it matters if those angles are between -180..180 or not, I haven't seen any problems while trying to import the animation with -215. [[User:Neo|Neo]]


Neo,
:::Then my question is, would it be possible to program OniSplit one day, so that it can produce a TRAM DAE that will import into XSI without any of those odd rotations of the pelvis and thighs? Or for OniSplit to import a TRAM DAE that was converted from Euler to Quaternion rotation?  It will be much easier to modify existing TRAMs without having to deal with those odd rotations.  Thanks [[User:EdT|EdT]]


I got this error message when importing a TRBS:
::::TRAM DAE: yes, I think so. I have an idea though I've yet to test it. Euler to Quaternion: I don't know why that doesn't work, I'll check. In theory there should be no problem. [[User:Neo|Neo]]
::::Found another solution (in XSI): use "Make rotation keys continuous" (in the same menu as Euler to Quaternion). [[User:Neo|Neo]]

        return NormalizeAngles(v * Mathf.Rad2Deg);

p.s. sorry, not found any code tags or something like that.
p.s.s. Mathf.Rad2Deg must be 57.2958f. other Mathf stuff is similar to Math
p.s.s.s anyway, looks like the root of evil is not in quaternion -> euler conversion. i will try to investigate that.

Hi Neo,


2 quick answers:
I have thought of adding a point to your todo list if you don't mind. Since the throw target is sort of reversed played in Oni (body rotated by 180 degrees, reversed movement, if I remember correctly), it would come handy if Onisplit can reverse it. Doing it in XSI would be a load of unnecessary work each time. Onisplit could easily recognize this special animation in the XML tags (<Flag>... ThrowTarget ...</Flag>). --[[User:Paradox-01|Paradox-01]] 15:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Here's a mystery [which has been solved, see edits below this one]: what is wrong with Oni's sound occlusion with 44Khz sounds in Windows (and possibly all occlusion on Macs)? Here are two alternate versions of a package: <nowiki>http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/06000MissingSoundsNoOcc.zip</nowiki> (dead link) and <nowiki>http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/06000MissingSoundsOcc.zip</nowiki> (dead link). This package simply adds a sound to the gears at the end of Science Prison. There are probably any number of ways to test for this issue, but this is how I noticed the problem, so I can vouch for its reproducibility.
# Install the Occ version of the package. This uses 22Khz sound.
# Load Science Prison SP1 so there's no music or enemies around, and do "chr_location 0 676.3 64.7 -1898.3". You're now on top of the gears.
# Run into one of the nearby rooms with windows. The sound comes from the point you teleported to, so position yourself so the "ray" from the sound can reach you through a window. If you are standing with part of the room's wall in the way, the sound may cut out completely, which you don't want.
# Listen to the sound. Isn't it soothing? Now shoot the glass out (the M. Bow is a nice choice, it's quiet so you can hear the gears more clearly). The sound should get louder. You can hear this in my movie <nowiki>http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/GearsTestWindows.mp4</nowiki> (dead link) (though the gears sound was distorted at the time because I didn't set the .grp properly, that's besides the point in this case).
# Now replace the Occ package with the NoOcc package and install it. This one uses 44Khz sound.
# Performing the same test, you should hear the gears at the same volume through glass as without the glass in the way. You can hear this issue in my movie <nowiki>http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/GearsTestMac.mp4</nowiki> (dead link). Obviously in the Mac test I was using 22Khz sound, and yet I experienced the same issue. I suspect something was changed in the occlusion code between the Windows and Mac releases, perhaps in tandem with the removal of 44Khz sound support, that glommed the Windows 44Khz bug onto the Mac 22Khz sound code.


  <Text xml:space="preserve"> </Text>
Now, is it definitely a problem with Oni? I guess it is if we're sure that the sounds and .grp I provided are formatted and imported correctly. Or perhaps I'm totally mixed up here and don't know what I'm talking about. I've never done sound work before in Oni. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 15:36, 25 April 2013 (CEST)


:I'll try to make OniSplit add that automatically in the next version, I didn't know that there are such cases.
: Iritscen: Try your test again with the command sound_show_debug=1 you will see a list of sounds and the sound level for each one.  When you are in front of the gears the level is 1 for gears, gears.aif .  Then move into one of the rooms behind the glass, the sound level will drop to around .6 or .7 depending on how far away you are. Shoot out the glass and then the sound level will return to 1.[[User:EdT|EdT]] ([[User talk:EdT|talk]]) 17:02, 25 April 2013 (CEST)


:*Cheetah 3D4.6 - the coresponding Collada files looks "corrupted". Basically it contains wrong texture coordinate indices I suspect that there is a bug somewhere but not in OniSplit.
::D'oh. I was wondering if I should have put this on Paradox's page but I felt that it was probably an Oni bug and I shouldn't distract 'dox anymore. I guess you would have had a simple solution to the problem no matter where I put it, EdT. So here's what happened: the NoOcc package has a custom .grp so that I can specify "2" channels, AKA 44Khz sound, since Oni's .grp expects 22Khz. What I had forgotten that I also tried to turn up the volume of the gears noise by setting the .grp's Volume to 2 instead of 1. Because a sound's maximum actual volume in Oni is 1, what happens with a >1 volume setting is that a sound will reach 100% volume from farther away than if the sound was set to a volume of 1. Because I was standing within the >1 apparent volume range of the NoOcc package's louder gears, I couldn't hear any difference in sound volume when a window got in the way. That's because the volume was still greater than 1 even though the sound was in fact being occluded from say, 1.9 to 1.4.
::Well, I learned something about sound today! Sorry for cluttering your talk page unnecessarily, Neo (I know you won't be seeing this until the weekend anyway). The funny thing is that I just got done telling someone on the forum about sound_show_debug, but I had no idea that the numbers in the left column were apparent volume so I didn't think of using the debug display on my package. Well, thanks EdT, at least I know everything is working properly. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 18:06, 25 April 2013 (CEST)

::Ed, since there's a converter involved, please provide the FBX that are output by Cheetah. Either the converter does everything correctly, and the bad UV indices come from the FBX (which should be reported to Cheetah's dev); or the FBX confuses the heck out of the converter in a more subtle way (this can be a bug of either program).

Hi Neo, In the latest oni split 0.9.55, there seems to be a problem with converting ONCC files, It fails to convert ONCC.xml files made by earlier to oni files .. says something about jump fields, the ONCC xml created by older versions are different from the ones created by this one, different fields <Jump Constants> and <Air Constants> instead of <Physics>, that would be ok we could switch to the new layout. However onisplit v.55 also fails to convert ONCC.xml it created back to oni. .. convert any ONCC.oni to xml, try to convert that xml back to oni, it fails.

2- It is also unable to convert a TRAM.oni file made from a dae by older versions back to xml : Operation is not valid due to current state of object. (containing QKEYS) while 0.941 is able to convert them.

reported by Samer on July 10 2011


Hi Neo, a bug has been ecountered by me in OniSplit's xml export. The bug applies on versions 0.9.50.0 and 0.9.52.0. If exported TRAM file has direct animation links, only the second direct link is written into XML file. The first direct link is ignored (is always an empty element).

This is an excerpt from KONCOMcomb_p_p XML file as created by OniSplit 0.9.52.0:

       <DirectAnimations>
           <Link />
           <Link>TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_k</Link>
       </DirectAnimations>

It should be:

       <DirectAnimations>
           <Link>TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_p</Link>
           <Link>TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_k</Link>
       </DirectAnimations>

Binary (*.oni) files contain both direct links. Exported XML files don't. Since usually only the first direct link is used, this bug poses quite a nuisance. Thank you in advance.

It might be that the binary (oni/exe) are corrupted. My version of TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p.oni was correctly extracted with onisplit 52. --paradox-01 19:00, 8 July 2011 (CEST)

While I'm here I will take the chance to also ask something. I'm trying to create a combo. The animations work fine with animation type Kick, Kick2, Kick3 but not with KickRight, KrKr*, KrKrKr**. Could it be that those* animation types are dead? I hope you will find out what's wrong. --paradox-01 19:00, 8 July 2011 (CEST)

Loser: The problem more than likely was the fact that the TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_p.oni was not in the same directory as TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p. To test, I removed TRAMKONCOMcomb_p_p_p.oni and got the same result as you did, added it back and got the correct output. OniSplit wants all the files to be in the same directory.

Neo, do you think we can have something like a -nodeps argument added to OniSplit? We could use a way to prevent the program from automatically following all dependencies when exporting files like ONCCs to XML. --Iritscen 14:26, 6 July 2011 (CEST)

Oops, never mind, it sounds like this is already OniSplit's default behavior.... --Iritscen 16:24, 6 July 2011 (CEST)

Pathfinding issue fixed, though it seems to be still slightly off:

Hi Neo,

I was able to create the pathfinding grids, however, they are offset from the geometry. Also, there is a spot where you will fall through the ground.

The bnv itself is correct:

Here are my files: http://edt.oni2.net/testlevel/TestLevel.zip

EDIT: Tested OniSplit with the arena level data: http://mods.oni2.net/system/files/80200ArenaofHurt.zip Extracted the AKEV, then used create:akev to import the level. The pathfinding grids were offset from the geometry and there were areas where the player will fall through the floor.

Hi Neo, I have tried Your ".dae" to ".xml" animation importer. I keep getting message ".dae files cannot be imported as TRAM". Can you tell me please where is the problem? Thank you. --Loser 13:00, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, to import an animation you need an xml file and a dae file. If you try to export a TRAM to xml you get both files and when importing you need to provide the xml file, not the dae file. The dae file is referenced from inside the xml file (see the DaeImport element) Neo


New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.52 (https://cid-639aa31296681bfe.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Oni/OniSplit/OniSplit%5E_v0.9.52.zip, dead link)

What's new:

  • When a TRBS file is exported to xml the geometry is exported to separate .dae files, one .dae file for each LOD
  • New -anim-body option. This allows a particular body (ONCC or TRBS) to be specified when exporting animations:
  onisplit -extract:xml out -anim-body:ONCCbarabus.oni TRAMsomething.oni
  • New -recurse option for the xml exporter. Have fun :)
  onisplit -extract:xml out -recurse ONCCbarabus.oni
  • Changed light color in the environment importer to white (it used to be blueish)
  • New -env-notxmp option. This prevents the automatic creation of TXMP files while importing the environment.
  • Made -normals work when importing TRBS from xml + dae files.

New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.41

What's new:

  • fixed the Collada importer to work with 3DSMax exported files

New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.40

What's new:

  • support for exporting/importing sound animations to/from xml files
  • better Collada export for environment
  • support for full color transparent textures (-format:bgra32 on the command line, ARGB8888 format in an xml file)
  • different (hopefully better) xml export format for animations (this one is actually from 0.9.38 but since that wasn't mentioned here...)
  • a more or less complete animation importer. This one deservers some notes:
-unlike other importers that produce .oni files this one produces and .xml file (similar to the one you get when exporting a TRAM)
when you do
 onisplit -create:tram target_dir animation.dae
in the target dir you'll get a TRAManimation.xml file.
You need to add some stuff to that file to make it actually work as an animation. In particular the animation type, from/to states and varient needs to be set.
-For all I know this works with animations exported from Oni and modified in Softimage. If you come up with a completly new animation it should work as long as the skeleton is similar to the one used in Oni.
-Note that the geometry that is present inside the Collada file is used to compute the "vertical extents" so it better be the same or close to the one the animation is intended for.
-The biggest problem are the attacks. While it's not difficult to add attacks to the xml file, computing the necessary "extents" is not going to be easy. I guess in the end I'll have to add some command to OniSplit to do it.
-Everything else that I forgot :)

Neo

New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.37

What's new:

  • support for transparency in the environment importer


New OniSplit version: OniSplit v0.9.35

What's new:

  • conversion of recorded films (.dat binary files) to xml files that can be used to create FILM .oni files
   OniSplit film2xml out_dir film.dat

Hi Neo,

When you have time, can you take a look at this:

TRBSproblem.jpg

When I use the latest FBX Converter 2010.2 to convert FBX to DAE, I get this problem. However, when I use an older version, it works fine. Here are the DAEs from both version: http://edt.oni2.net/temp/TRBSproblem.zip G2 is uses the new version, G1 uses the old.

Thanks EdT

Oh boy, the new converter uses matrix transforms instead of individual scale/rotate/translate transforms. I'll see what I can do...

Neo



The Iron Demon walks! Sorta...

You can see the video here: http://edt.oni2.net/ID/IDwalk.wmv

I converted the files from Bobbysoon (TRAMID_run1stepb.DAE, TRAMID_runstart.DAE, TRAMID_runstop.DAE) to xml. The XML gave the pelvis height as <Height>-2175.5</Height>, so I removed the negative and divided the height by 100. But as you can see, the model floats above the ground. Also, the velocity has some large numbers in the first part <Velocity>-4.076141 0</Velocity> I think that is the cause of the ID moving sideways not forward.

Files here: http://edt.oni2.net/ID/ID_Files.zip

Ha ha, that's going in my album of weird modding results. Anyway, I didn't even realize that animations were supposed to work yet, I thought we were waiting for an update to OniSplit. --Iritscen 14:33, 29 November 2009 (UTC)



Hi Neo,

Hmm... I just discovered that I can't export TXMPs from a .dat file to the PNG format. I am attempting to use the -extract:png command on a virgin .dat file. The -extract:tga options works fine, but the -extract:png option gives:

This occurred in both 0.9.38 and 0.9.41 on my Mac. I used to always extract TXMPs as TGA, so I don't know when this actually worked for me. --Iritscen 17:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

TGA always works because it's all done in OniSplit. For PNG/JPG I'm using the framework (.NET/Mono) and Mono seems to have a problem. Neo
I just tested it myself and I was able to extract all the textures from a virgin .dat file as PNG. I'm using the latest version 0.9.45 and the latest Mono framework. OSX 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 EdT
Okay, after many aborted attempts at updating mono (I was running 2.0.1) by building from source or using their binary installer, I realized that the installer was putting the files in some meaningless directory, and I ended up copying them to the right system directories, hoping I didn't overwrite libraries that were supposed to stay unchanged. Who knows what the consequences will be down the road for other stuff, but OniSplit now exports PNGs properly for me! --Iritscen 20:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Observations of importing TRAMs to XSI.

Sometimes, imported TRAMs will have odd rotations mainly related to the pelvis and thighs. Here is one example, the Striker's walking TRAM: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/WalkOS.wmv As you can see the pelvis and thighs are rotating in an odd fashion. This is due to euler vs quaternion rotations. To see it correctly in XSI, you can use the option to "Convert Euler Rotation to Quaternion" on the pelvis and thighs, then the animation appears correct: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/WalkQT.wmv However, when importing a converted animation back to Oni, you get this result: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/WalkOni.wmv

When a TRAM is imported to XSI, to "unwrap" a model from the default animation state, the right thigh is rotated 180 on the X axis and -180 on the Z axis, the left is rotated -180 on the X and -180 on the Z axis. Somehow, from this starting point, whenever XSI moves the thigh from a negative to a positive angle (or in the case of this example from positive to negative), the part would rotate the long way around as shown here: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/ThighXZaxis.wmv

One workaround is to insert keyframes to cause the animation to rotate in the correct direction.

I found another approach that seems to work, if you are making an animation from scratch. That is to rotate the thighs down 180 on the Y axis. So far in my testing, there are no odd rotations: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/ThighYaxis.wmv

The Striker DAE files and the XSI scene files are here: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/TRAMfiles.zip

EdT

I'm still unsure how the XZ animation was produced. There's a keyframe (for the Z rotation of left_thigh) that causes this. It's value is 135 while all the other keyframes for Z are well below 0 (-150..-180). If you move that keyframe to something like -215 then the animation works fine. Or so it appears to me...

Neo

That's true about changing the keyframe to -215, however, for all the TRAMs exported from Oni, the number for the rotations are always less than 180 or -180. When the thigh is positioned in front of the body, the rotation on the Z axis is negative, between the range of -0.x to -179.x and when it is positioned behind the body, the rotation number is positive, between the range of 0.x to 179.x. So my XZ animation was reflecting that aspect. EdT
Ah, I didn't think about that. I don't think it matters if those angles are between -180..180 or not, I haven't seen any problems while trying to import the animation with -215. Neo
Then my question is, would it be possible to program OniSplit one day, so that it can produce a TRAM DAE that will import into XSI without any of those odd rotations of the pelvis and thighs? Or for OniSplit to import a TRAM DAE that was converted from Euler to Quaternion rotation? It will be much easier to modify existing TRAMs without having to deal with those odd rotations. Thanks EdT
TRAM DAE: yes, I think so. I have an idea though I've yet to test it. Euler to Quaternion: I don't know why that doesn't work, I'll check. In theory there should be no problem. Neo
Found another solution (in XSI): use "Make rotation keys continuous" (in the same menu as Euler to Quaternion). Neo
I tested the it, however, TRAMs converted that way do not appear correctly in Oni: http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/WalkRot.wmv files:http://edt.oni2.net/TRAMS/TRAMfiles2.zip EdT
Not to say that this is the only problem but... you're .dae files for left and right are identical :) Neo
"The Make rotation keys continuous"is working great, no problems. Except for the stupid user error with the Striker's walk... lol EdT
Googled a possible solution and fitted it to one method. I have already checked it for some quaternions, which should result in euler angles, which contains values greater than 180 degrees, and it works fine. Here it is:
   public static Vector3 FromQ2(Quaternion q1)
   {
       float sqw = q1.w * q1.w;
       float sqx = q1.x * q1.x;
       float sqy = q1.y * q1.y;
       float sqz = q1.z * q1.z;
       float unit = sqx + sqy + sqz + sqw; // if normalised is one, otherwise is correction factor
       float test = q1.x * q1.w - q1.y * q1.z;
       Vector3 v;
       Func<float, float> NormalizeAngle = new Func<float, float>(angle =>
       {
           while (angle > 360)
               angle -= 360;
           while (angle < 0)
               angle += 360;
           return angle;
       });
       Func<Vector3,Vector3> NormalizeAngles = new Func<Vector3,Vector3>(angles =>
       {
           angles.x = NormalizeAngle(angles.x);
           angles.y = NormalizeAngle(angles.y);
           angles.z = NormalizeAngle(angles.z);
           return angles;
       } );
       if (test > 0.4995f * unit)
       { // singularity at north pole
           v.y = 2f * Mathf.Atan2(q1.y, q1.x);
           v.x = Mathf.PI / 2;
           v.z = 0;
           return NormalizeAngles(v * Mathf.Rad2Deg);
       }
       if (test < -0.4995f * unit)
       { // singularity at south pole
           v.y = -2f * Mathf.Atan2(q1.y, q1.x);
           v.x = -Mathf.PI / 2;
           v.z = 0;
           return NormalizeAngles(v * Mathf.Rad2Deg);
       }
       Quaternion q = new Quaternion(q1.w, q1.z, q1.x, q1.y);
       v.y = (float)Math.Atan2(2f * q.x * q.w + 2f * q.y * q.z, 1 - 2f * (q.z * q.z + q.w * q.w));     // Yaw
       v.x = (float)Math.Asin(2f * (q.x * q.z - q.w * q.y));                             // Pitch
       v.z = (float)Math.Atan2(2f * q.x * q.y + 2f * q.z * q.w, 1 - 2f * (q.y * q.y + q.z * q.z));      // Roll
       return NormalizeAngles(v * Mathf.Rad2Deg);
   }

p.s. sorry, not found any code tags or something like that. p.s.s. Mathf.Rad2Deg must be 57.2958f. other Mathf stuff is similar to Math p.s.s.s anyway, looks like the root of evil is not in quaternion -> euler conversion. i will try to investigate that. 6opoDuJIo


Hi Neo,

I have thought of adding a point to your todo list if you don't mind. Since the throw target is sort of reversed played in Oni (body rotated by 180 degrees, reversed movement, if I remember correctly), it would come handy if Onisplit can reverse it. Doing it in XSI would be a load of unnecessary work each time. Onisplit could easily recognize this special animation in the XML tags (<Flag>... ThrowTarget ...</Flag>). --Paradox-01 15:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


Here's a mystery [which has been solved, see edits below this one]: what is wrong with Oni's sound occlusion with 44Khz sounds in Windows (and possibly all occlusion on Macs)? Here are two alternate versions of a package: http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/06000MissingSoundsNoOcc.zip (dead link) and http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/06000MissingSoundsOcc.zip (dead link). This package simply adds a sound to the gears at the end of Science Prison. There are probably any number of ways to test for this issue, but this is how I noticed the problem, so I can vouch for its reproducibility.

  1. Install the Occ version of the package. This uses 22Khz sound.
  2. Load Science Prison SP1 so there's no music or enemies around, and do "chr_location 0 676.3 64.7 -1898.3". You're now on top of the gears.
  3. Run into one of the nearby rooms with windows. The sound comes from the point you teleported to, so position yourself so the "ray" from the sound can reach you through a window. If you are standing with part of the room's wall in the way, the sound may cut out completely, which you don't want.
  4. Listen to the sound. Isn't it soothing? Now shoot the glass out (the M. Bow is a nice choice, it's quiet so you can hear the gears more clearly). The sound should get louder. You can hear this in my movie http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/GearsTestWindows.mp4 (dead link) (though the gears sound was distorted at the time because I didn't set the .grp properly, that's besides the point in this case).
  5. Now replace the Occ package with the NoOcc package and install it. This one uses 44Khz sound.
  6. Performing the same test, you should hear the gears at the same volume through glass as without the glass in the way. You can hear this issue in my movie http://iritscen.oni2.net/temp/GearsTestMac.mp4 (dead link). Obviously in the Mac test I was using 22Khz sound, and yet I experienced the same issue. I suspect something was changed in the occlusion code between the Windows and Mac releases, perhaps in tandem with the removal of 44Khz sound support, that glommed the Windows 44Khz bug onto the Mac 22Khz sound code.

Now, is it definitely a problem with Oni? I guess it is if we're sure that the sounds and .grp I provided are formatted and imported correctly. Or perhaps I'm totally mixed up here and don't know what I'm talking about. I've never done sound work before in Oni. --Iritscen (talk) 15:36, 25 April 2013 (CEST)

Iritscen: Try your test again with the command sound_show_debug=1 you will see a list of sounds and the sound level for each one. When you are in front of the gears the level is 1 for gears, gears.aif . Then move into one of the rooms behind the glass, the sound level will drop to around .6 or .7 depending on how far away you are. Shoot out the glass and then the sound level will return to 1.EdT (talk) 17:02, 25 April 2013 (CEST)
D'oh. I was wondering if I should have put this on Paradox's page but I felt that it was probably an Oni bug and I shouldn't distract 'dox anymore. I guess you would have had a simple solution to the problem no matter where I put it, EdT. So here's what happened: the NoOcc package has a custom .grp so that I can specify "2" channels, AKA 44Khz sound, since Oni's .grp expects 22Khz. What I had forgotten that I also tried to turn up the volume of the gears noise by setting the .grp's Volume to 2 instead of 1. Because a sound's maximum actual volume in Oni is 1, what happens with a >1 volume setting is that a sound will reach 100% volume from farther away than if the sound was set to a volume of 1. Because I was standing within the >1 apparent volume range of the NoOcc package's louder gears, I couldn't hear any difference in sound volume when a window got in the way. That's because the volume was still greater than 1 even though the sound was in fact being occluded from say, 1.9 to 1.4.
Well, I learned something about sound today! Sorry for cluttering your talk page unnecessarily, Neo (I know you won't be seeing this until the weekend anyway). The funny thing is that I just got done telling someone on the forum about sound_show_debug, but I had no idea that the numbers in the left column were apparent volume so I didn't think of using the debug display on my package. Well, thanks EdT, at least I know everything is working properly. --Iritscen (talk) 18:06, 25 April 2013 (CEST)

Hi Neo,

I've tried a couple of OniSplit commands but I couldn't get some to work with latest public version (0.9.94.0). The commands are the follow:

  -extract:dae outputdir input_ONWC.oni

both execute with sucess but don't generate output.

Conversion of OBJ > M3GM:

  -create:m3gm outputdir input.obj

Hi Neo, do you still stop by the wiki? Not sure if you will see this.
