This operation allows you to add new XML values to existing XML elements. The values should be space separated and contained within quotes.

Usage: XmlTools --add-values --new-val "new values"

Example

Let's say you want to add the Unkillable and the NonCombatant flag to A_L18 character.


XmlTools command:

--update-elements

Description

This operation allows you to update all values in a set of existing XML elements. The values differences must be space separated and contained within quotes.

Usage: XmlTools --update-elements --diff-old-new-val "differences old-new values"

Examples

Example 1

Let's say you have a Level built on Google Sketchup. Inside the level you have positioned all the characters that are spawn during the gameplay. However for some reason you need to change the position of the level and the character accordingly. You can move the level inside the level editor, while the positions of the character can be updated using XmlTools.

You know the difference between the old level position and the new level position is 130 in X, 80 in Y and 0 in Z.

XmlTools command: 

XmlTools --update-elements --diff-old-new-val "130 80 0" --element-name "Position" --parent-element-name "Header" --files "BINACJBOCharacter.xml"

Example 2

Let's say you want to use tanker forward throw to a new character. You know that your new character has higher pelvis than the tanker, so you need to update all the heights of tanker animation to match those of your new character.

We also know that difference between tanker animation (old value) and your character's (new value) is -0.7970685.

--invert-elements

Description

This operation allows you to invert a set of XML elements.

Usage: XmlTools --invert-elements

Example

Let's say you want to invert the helicopter animation from Oni's final level. If you notice in that level the helicopter comes from down to above to reach the compound higher spot then it goes down again. If we invert the helicopter animation it will come from above to down and then to above again (which what was did in Old China mod).

For simplicity we will only edit one part of the helicopter animation: 'heli_interior09' and its Translation (position) element. Please note that to invert correctly the animation you will need to invert Rotation element too.

XmlTools --invert-elements --element-name "Translation" --files "OBANheli_interior09.xml"
