  weapon manager

• 

  powerups manager

• 

  flag manager

• 

  trigger volume manager

Tips

• while in point (vertex) mode, creating a flag/powerup/TV/weapon will move it to the selected point
• while in object mode, creating a flag/powerup/TV/weapon will spawn it at 0, 0, 0
  • check the point snap checkbox, then use move tool [V] with [Control] to move object to desired point

ToDo

General wish list

• addon to make easily use of onisplit within Mod Tool [done]
  • supports drag and drop of onisplit [done]
• import/export of flag collection [done]
• import/export of patrol path collection
• import/export of powerup collection [done]
• import/export of trigger volumes [done]
• import/export of weapons collection [done]
• semi-automatic BNV and ghost creation
• easy use of marker_textures
• [...]

These points are less certain. Maybe they will be added, maybe not.

Edit: 16.07.2014

• making loops from parts of animations
• copying animation data from one character to another

Road map

flag id displayed via ICE

• v7.1.9 TRGV: change to layer system + auto-update properties
• v7.1.10 FLAG: exchange tex/UV-based id display with ICE-based id display (better performance)
• v7.1.11 CRSA: support master xml file + load corpses from xml to Mod Tool (?)

• v7.? turrets: basic import/export
• v7.? furniture: advanced import (OFGA*.xml / BINACJBOFurniture.xml) & export (OFGA*.xml/.oni as new class, BINACJBOFurniture.xml)
• v7.? turrets: advanced import/export
• ...
• v8 final Oni Object Library
• ...
• v10 starting Oni level rebuilder ?

Change log

known issues of v7.1.x

• FURN particle not yet supported by export
• not compatible with OBJ drag and drop plug-in (it appears to be taken down anyway)

known issues of v4-v7

• manager windows sometime don't update what results in another opened instance
• slow flag import, I will probably make the flag numbering (textures) optional in a later version (then turned off by default)
• broken weapon depot update function (temporary solution: delete depot and add all dae file to folder)

Material-depending polygon cluster deletion: You need to find the material.

Material-depending polygon cluster deletion: before and after image.

version 7.1.8

• material-depending polygon cluster deletion

version 7.1.7

• Animated Rotoscope

version 7.1.1 - 7.1.6

• bug fix: TRGV writing/reading
• CRSA (corpse array) import
• scaling support for TRGV
• print absolute position and rotation of selected objects
• print relative position and rotation of selected objects
• furniture library (alpha)
• basic OFGA import / FURN export

version 7

• a "character export (TRAM)" button (select one bodypart and hit the button, it will select the tree automatically)
• the code includes the "Make Rotation Keys Continuous"
• the addon will change your save file settings (to framerate 60 fps)

one person can send a new *.exp file and the other person can make a *.dae from it

old *.exp (that were created based on a 30 fps setting) needs to be scaled down by a factor of 2

• currently removed the features made in version 6 (hopefully we will not need that any longer)

version 6

• repair major character rotation flips (beta)
  • select a body part and set keyframe range and flip amount
  • fine-tune problematic zones by hand

version 5

• pathfinding manager (alpha: ghosts can be created on edges)
• trigger volume manager (plus BINACJBOTrigger Volume.oni drag'n'drop support)
• bugfix: flag xml code

version 4

• flag manager (plus BINACJBOFlag.oni drag'n'drop support)
• "(un)hide" button works now properly

version 3

• weapon manager (plus BINACJBOWeapon.oni drag'n'drop support)
• disables transparency on weapon textures
• button to access OniXSI resources folder
• fixes glitchy PPGs (manager windows sometimes switched from "locked" to "refresh" mode, etc.)

version 2

• better support for future custom resources (check out the readme files in OniXSI resources folder)
  • for example new LSIs can be added at ...\Softimage\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\OniXSI_resources\PowerUps\LSI

version 1

• powerups manager (plus BINACJBOPowerUp.oni drag'n'drop support)
  • LSIs gets imported with a placeholder geometry (there's no easy way to detect what actual LSI is used for a level)
  • using LSIs from the manager works though (just keep in mind that levels are fixed to one type of LSI)
• drag'n'drop support for OniSplit update

OniTool Deluxe

A better name can be chosen later...

Yes there are still plenty of ideas to implement but it might be better to make a fresh start so it gets hopefully easier to add the new stuff. The layer system would be a big rewrite anyway.

So the first points to accomplish are following:

• On Startup event
  • check for OniTools update [wip]
  • check for OniSplit update (plus note of recommendation)
  • check for Oni Object Library update

• Oni Object Library
  • allow custom objects in sub folder
  • option to update html document with custom objects
  • option to re-download the library in case of corruption

Change log

version 1

• All it has is an update notifier. Version 2 should have an auto-update function. But at least you will know when it is available. ^_^

version 2

• AutoUpdater. After this installation further updates should happen automatically.
