CONS : Console	XML modding tips See HERE to start learning about XML modding. See HERE if you are searching for information on how to handle object coordinates. See HERE for some typical modding errors and their causes.
XML BINA << Other file types >> DOOR switch to OBD page

General information

The XML code on this page was tested with OniSplit v0.9.96.0
CONS files are stored globally (AE/GameDataFolder/level0_Final)
CONS files are used by BINACJBOCONS <Class>

File structure

CONS
- OFGA
  - M3GM (holds <Texture> TXMP link to external file)
    - PNTA <Points>
    - VCRA <VertexNormals>
    - VCRA <FaceNormals>
    - TXCA <TextureCoordinates>
    - IDXA <TriangleStrips>
    - IDXA <FaceNormalIndices>

XML tags

CONS

XML tag	Content type	Description
<Flags>	flag	The "alarm console" flag decides what autoprompt is displayed when the character is close to a console ("autoprompt_useconsole" or "autoprompt_usealarm"). AlarmConsole
<Position>	float x3	This is used to compute where the character should stand to use the console. In console coordinates.
<Orientation>	float x3	This is used to compute where the character should face to use the console. In console coordinates.
<ConsoleGeometry>	link	OFGA instance number (#N)
<ScreenGeometry>	link	absolute/relative path to a *.dae file
<ScreenGunkFlags>	flag	AGQG (Gunk) flags (trimmed list) see OniSplit -help enums for more flags None NoCollision NoObjectCollision NoCharacterCollision NoDecal TwoSided Invisible
<InactiveTexture>	char[32]	The screen textures specified here are used only if CONS object has empty texture names. TXMPfile_name.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix)
<ActiveTexture>	char[32]	The screen textures specified here are used only if CONS object has empty texture names. TXMPfile_name.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix)
<UsedTexture>	char[32]	The screen textures specified here are used only if CONS object has empty texture names. TXMPfile_name.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix)
