ONCV : Oni Character Variant
Character file

Note 1

ONCV files are empty, except those of level 0.

So when an ONCC links to an ONCV, a global version (that in level 0) is in fact used

Note 2

The ONCV define the "harder" characters spawned on Hard (if enabled in the BINA)

Thus, if you take e.g. 01692-ninja_med.ONCV and replace "ninja_hard" with "striker_hard"

(not forgetting about the null char), you'll have a surprise at the start of Rooftops :

in fact, anywhere where you used to have a blue Ninja on Easy and Normal,

and a red one on Hard, you'll have a red Striker on Hard. Nice, eh?

Note 3

The ONCV could also be used (indirectly) for the random ONCC selection

(e.g. spawning striker_easy_1, striker_easy_2 or striker_easy_3, at random).

Note 4

The inter-ONCV linking doesn't seem very useful indeed

"01689-konoko.ONCV links to 01666-any.ONCV, which links into nothingness."

Example

01689-konoko.ONCV from level0_Final

Offset	Hex	Translation	Meaning
0x00	01 99 06 00	1689	01689-konoko.ONCV
0x04	01 00 00 00	0	level 0
0x08	01 82 06 00	1666	link to 01666-any.ONCV
0x0C	Konoko + null char + blank filler		basic ("Easy" and "Normal") character type
0x2C	null char + blank filler		"Hard" character type (none here)
0x4C	AD DE	dead	blank filler (fills the file up to a 32 byte multiple)
