General information

  • The XML on this page was tested with OniSplit version 0.9.61.0 and 0.9.82.0.
  • This console spawning doesn't include console geometry unless it's done via ONLV level import.
  • The BINACJBOConsole file is level-specific (levelx_Final.dat).
  • All consoles can be seen HERE.
  • Activation tolerances: the player must fulfill the following requirements before he can use a console:
    • A distance of 10 or less world units.
    • A distance of -2 WU or less (e.g. you can't activate console while standing inside or behind it).
    • A facing of 1.22173 radians (ca. 70°) or less.
    • A sideways shift of 8 WU or less.
    • A difference of 8 WU or less between pelvis height and console height.

File structure

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Oni>
   <Objects>
       [...]
   </Objects>
</Oni>

[...] is where at least one console is defined. Paste all your console data into there (this includes <CONS Id="..."> and </CONS> tag).

Example

For level import via XML master file, use a pre-compiled (*.oni) file as part of a relative file path, e.g. consoles/console0.oni.

<CONS Id="8179">
   <Header>
       <Flags>Locked Gunk</Flags>
       <Position>-1354.927 45 860.053</Position>
       <Rotation>180.000015 0 180.000015</Rotation>
   </Header>
   <OSD>
       <Class>console0</Class>
       <ConsoleId>2</ConsoleId>
       <Flags>InitialActive</Flags>
       <InactiveTexture>_con_INACTIVE</InactiveTexture>
       <ActiveTexture>_con_MTCOM_DISH</ActiveTexture>
       <TriggeredTexture>_con_MTC_DISHFLASH</TriggeredTexture>
       <Events>
           <Script Function="fconsole_ok" />
       </Events>
   </OSD>
</CONS>

Tags

Tag Type Description
<Objects> -
<CONS Id="..."> int32 Any number; no need to be unique. — For level importing, use <CONS>.
<Header> -
<Flags> flag Object flags. Used during development, ignore them.
<Position> float x3 XYZ position. When creating a new console, use a Y of 0 if the ground plane is 0. The height of the console and the character are both stemming from the ground plane.
<Rotation> float x3 XYZ rotation. "chr_debug_characters = 1" shows the player's position, so you could face your (imaginary) console and then use a 180-degree flip of your facing for the console's Y rotation. X and Z should be 0.
<OSD> -
<Class> link Original consoles:
console_alarm
console_data
console0
console_small_wu_roof

For level import via XML master file, use a pre-compiled (*.oni) file as part of a relative file path, e.g. consoles/console_data.oni.

<ConsoleId> int16 Can be used with BSL commands like "console_deactivate ID".
<Flags> flag
None
<Flags></Flags> also works; console will appear disabled.
InitialActive
Console will appear enabled.
Punch
Was used for TRAMKONOKOconsole_punch.
IsAlarm
Alarm console. Used with alarm groups in CHAR.
<InactiveTexture> char[63] TXMPfile.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix) Image for disabled console. Examples:

_con_ALARM_SLEEP / _con_USED / _con_used / _con_INACTIVE

Use a capitalized file name for this TXMP.

<ActiveTexture> char[63] TXMPfile.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix) Image for an enabled console. Examples:

_con_ALARM_SLEEP / _con_INFO / _con_MTC_2 / _con_mtc_stairs / _con_MTCOM_DISH / _con_MTCOM_DISH

Use a capitalized file name for this TXMP.

<TriggeredTexture> char[63] TXMPfile.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix) Image for a used console. Examples:

_con_ALARM_ON / _con_USED / _con_used / _con_MTC_DISHFLASH

Use a capitalized file name for this TXMP.

<Events> int16 You can use multiple events.
<Script Function="call_this_BSL_function" /> char[32] Name of BSL function. For example if you use "call_this_BSL_function" here, then write in your BSL script:
func call_this_BSL_function
{
     dmsg "hi"
}
<ActivateTurret TargetId="Id" /> int16
<DeactivateTurret TargetId="Id" /> int16
<ActivateConsole TargetId="Id" /> int16
<DeactivateConsole TargetId="Id" /> int16
<ActivateAlarm TargetId="Id" /> int16
<DeactivateAlaram TargetId="Id" /> int16
<ActivateTrigger TargetId="Id" /> int16
<DeactivateTrigger TargetId="Id" /> int16
<LockDoor TargetId="Id" /> int16
<UnlockDoor TargetId="Id" /> int16
