ONLV = Oni Level file

file structure

ONLV instance

<Name> - this is your BSL folder (save game slot and level number are defined inside ONLD)

<Environment> - link to AKEV file (solid level geometry)

<Objects> - link to OBOA instance (animated level geometry, sometimes particles)

<SkyBox> - link to skybox file

<Characters> - link to AISA file (pendant of BINACJBOCharacter file), holds character spawn collection

<ObjectQuadMap> - link to ONOA instance (maybe spawnable / function holding objects ?)

<Particles> - link to ENVP instance (pendant of BINACJBOParticle), holds particle spawn collection, door lock lights are typically stored inside ENVP

<Corpses> - link to CRSA instance (corpses consist of 19 body parts)

not empty OBOA - example from level 19

(exported ONLV files seem to contain 32 empty <OBOAObject> sections)

If I remember correctly this one is only an object for the cutscene. Maybe the real floor(s) (those with collision) can be tracked down with the id used by bsl.

<Transform> - the last 3 values are the position (x, y, z)

spawnable geometry

In Oni's last level, the platform of the big satellite dish can be spawned/deleted from BSL. Characters on it will fall down when the platform becomes deleted.

I tested that long time ago, I think OBOA used for it (at least in the original data).

If OBOA import is not allowed maybe we can add more such things with the physics.xml and then use the <ScriptId> for BSL? What options exist for <Flags> and <Physics> ?

Possible applications:

grids in front of ventilation shafts
ground/ceiling/objects for cutscenes that become partially destroyed
destrucable walls like in Deus Ex 3 (trigger volume, replacing punch anim with punch-through-wall anim)
