For TRBS files

To export an ONCC or TRBS file to Collada format:

  onisplit -extract:dae dest_dir ..\GameDataFolder\level0_Final\ONCCkonoko_generic.oni

This will produce an ONCCkonoko_generic.dae collada file in the directory dest_dir plus the tga texture files used by the specified character.

Note: Blender's Collada importer/exporter is buggy, so you will need to add the options -noanim and -zup when extracting collada files for use with Blender:

  onisplit -extract:dae dest_dir -noanim -zup ..\GameDataFolder\level0_Final\ONCCkonoko_generic.oni

-noanim prevents the export of the default idle animation. That's needed because Blender doesn't import animated objects correctly. -zup exports a collada file with a coordinate system where Z axis points up instead of the default (Y up). This is needed because Blender uses Z up but the importer gets it wrong and convert to something else.

To create a TRBS file, use the following command:

  onisplit -create:trbs ..\GameDataFolder\level0_Final ONCCkonoko_generic.dae

This will create the TRBSkonoko_generic.oni file in dest_dir.

Options include

  -normals autogenerate normals.
  -cel generate a shell to give the effect of cel shading.

Example

  onisplit -create:trbs ..\GameDataFolder\level0_Final -normals ONCCkonoko_generic.dae

So, uh, you can't add a TRBS that you want to test into a folder other than level0_Final, right? I thought I could save time by not having to recompile level0_Final, so I added a TRBS for Griffin that I was testing to level12_Final ("Rooftops"), and it didn't work. The same TRBS worked in level0_Final, so I know it's not the file's fault. I guess only level0_Final loads characters, not the individual levels? This is also true for ONCCs? What about making a plugin with that TRBS.oni file and naming it "level12_griffin"? --Iritscen 19:38, 3 June 2008 (CEST)
