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

That means that Oni will take the information out of the ONCV files of level 0. Below is an example of an ONCV file of level 0.

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 inter-ONCV linking may seem useless

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

but I think the ONCV tree could be used for the random skin selection

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

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)
