general information

• The xml code on this page is based on onisplit v0.9.61.0
• Mtrl*.oni files are global. (They can be found in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/level0_Final.dat)
• They are used by CBPI, ONIA and ONIE.
• Impact is only specified by the file name.
• Every impact has a parent impact to organize effects in ONIE.

XML structure

For example:
ImptBar_Super_Kick.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Oni>
   <Impt id="0">
       <ParentImpact>ImptKick_Hit</ParentImpact>
   </Impt>
</Oni>

• Some Impt are used to detect the regular character-environment collision which comes from character's movement. See ONCC. It looks like this:

       <ImpactModifierName>Heavy</ImpactModifierName>
       <Impacts>
           <ONCCImpact>
               <Name>Footstep_Walk</Name>
           </ONCCImpact>
           [...]
       </Impacts>
