 The '''master xml file name''' also determine the '''bsl folder name''' and the '''AKEV and ONLV file name''' in the output folder.
-;shared folder
+====shared folder====
 The master xml file can link to other xml files, most of them are object collections. Some resources used by those xml files can be found in a "shared" folder. OniSplit copies textures and "physics" objects into the output folder; furniture objects will be integrate into the AKEV. Unused resources in the shared folder will be ignored. That way the final level archive / AE package contains only necessary files which saves the end-user space.

-This contains the AKEV (level) geometry but can also contain other, additional objects.
+This tag is mandatory (it must be present to avoid errors); <Model> contains a link to the AKEV (level) geometry (*.dae) but can also be used for additional objects (*.dae).

-This is used to create pathfinding grids.
+This tag is mandatory. It contains a link to BNV data (*.dae) which is used to create pathfinding grids.
-Not providing a file path to BNV data (*.dae) can produce an error.
+====<Textures>====
+This tag is mandatory. Textures become imported as they are; in the texture section you declare exceptions.
-;<Objects>
+* There you can give a texture a special format, for example "bgra4444", to make it transparent.
-Character.xml has to contain a player character or else Oni crashes when ca. 60% of the level got loaded.
+* If the texture comes with gunkflag "NoCollision" then all objects with that texture will have no collision. Characters would fall through it.
+Both makes sense, let's say, for a water-like substance. The biolab use this for an area with green acid.

+=====Furniture.xml=====
-===furniture===
 The AKEV core geometry is more or less unique while this furniture file adds standard objects to it.
 Between the <Class> </Class> tags is always a link to an OFGA file.

-===physics===
+=====Physics.xml=====
 This file is for objects with "physics". Unlike AKEV core geometry or furniture, those objects can be animated and made hidden via bsl commands and object's script id.
