General information

• The XML code on this page is based on OniSplit v0.9.61.0
• BINACJBOCharacter.oni is level specific (it can be found in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/levelX_Final.dat).
• An alternative method for creating characters is AISA.
• All original characters can be seen HERE. (The lists include the ONCC name, character's BSL name, health, team and attached BSL event function names.)

XML structure

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

[...] means at least one character. Paste all character data into there (this includes <CHAR Id="..."> and </CHAR> tag).

XML tag	content type	description
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>	float, flag	There's no reason to change this.
<Oni>	-
<Objects>	-
<CHAR Id="3860">	integer	ID doesn't matter. -- For level import use <CHAR>.
<Header>	-
<Flags>	-	unknown; usually empty
<Position>	float x3	character is spawned at this XYZ position
<Rotation>	float x3	character is spawned with this XYZ rotation; only Y (facing) is useful
<OSD>	-
<Flags>	flag	determines some special properties IsPlayer (1) (if you have two of them, and delete one and then spawn the other, if not done simultaneously a camera glitch can appear) RandomCostume (2) (flag belongs to ONCV) NotInitiallyPresent (4) NonCombatant (8) CanSpawnMultiple (16) (needs WasSpawned) WasSpawned (32) (...) Unkillable (64) (character won't lose more HP if it reaches 1; same as BSL command "chr_unkillable") InfiniteAmmo (128) (Raiden: "You got enough?" Snake points to his head. "Infinite ammo...") Omniscient (256) (AI will not forget having seen an enemy) HasLSI (512) (this character drops a level specific item) Boss (1024) (makes the AI prefer to attack the player; used for Muro in final battle if Griffin's group is present) UpgradeDifficulty (2048) (spawns a stronger enemy if you play on Normal or Hard) NoAutoDrop (4096) (doesn't drop "used" shield, "used" invisibility and LSI when killed) After OniSplit v0.9.54.0, merged integer flags can appear. Let's say you encounter a 6180: then it's actually 4096 + 2048 + 32 + 4.
<Class>	char[64]	ONCC file name without file prefix and suffix. Character can change appearance with "chr_set_class".
<Name>	char[32]	used by BSL commands
<Weapon>	char[64]	ONWC file name without file prefix and suffix. The character is spawned with that weapon. Original weapon classes: w1_tap (TCTF pistol) w2_sap (Syndicate uzi) w3_phr (plasma rifle) w4_psm (phase stream projector) w5_sbg (super ball gun) w6_vdg (van de graaff pistol) w7_scc (scram cannon (mini-rockets)) w8_mbo (mercury bow) w9_scr (screamer gun) w10_sni (Mukade's fireball) w11_ba1 (Barabas' gun) w12_ba2 (-)
<Scripts>	string	BSL function <Spawn> (called when character is spawned) <Die> (called when character dies (health reaches 0); can work multiple times) <Combat> (called when character notices an enemy; works only once) <Alarm> (called when character is alarmed) <Hurt> (called when character is hurt for the first time; works only once) <Defeated> (called when character is "defeated" (health reaches 1); works only once) <OutOfAmmo> (called when character runs out of ammo (reloads a weapon with the last clip/cell); works only once, and the character must have the ammo at spawn-time) <NoPath> (should be called when a character has trouble pathfinding, but isn't)
<AdditionalHealth>	integer	Base health is stored in ONCC; AdditionalHealth will be added to that base health; a negative value is allowed here, which would reduce base health
