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 is AISA.
• All original characters can be seen HERE. (The lists include used ONCC, character's BSL name, health, team and BSL function.)

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 is useful
<OSD>	-
<Flags>	flag	determines some special properties IsPlayer (1) (if you have two of them then delete one and spawn the other one at same time, if not made simultaneously 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 loss more life points 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) (useless?; tested ideas: doesn't unlock moves for player) HasLSI (512) (this character drops an level specific item like truck keys in level 19) Boss (1024) (used for boss mode fights. makes the AI ignore this character unless there is nobody else around) UpgradeDifficulty (2048) (spawns a stronger enemy if you play on medium 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 pre- and suffix. Character can change appearance with "chr_set_class".
<Name>	char[32]	used by BSL commands

<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	main health is stored in ONCC, "additional health" will be added to that main health; also negative value possible here (which would then reduce main health)
