Field 0x14: From empiric experiments I raise a thesis this field has meaning "used physics for this particle". It corresponds with Neo's OBOA researches ( field 0x18 in OBOA ):

0 - no pre-fabricated physics, if you want physics for this particle, create it via PAR3's actions ( see down on this site for info about actions. )
1 - unknown, looks like it disables all physics context ( even the PAR3 action-induced one )
2 - pre-fabricated physics type 1 - reacts on collisions, ignores gravity.
3 - unknown, looks like it disables all physics context ( even the PAR3 action-induced one ) - maybe because this is "physics" for OBOA objects which will have OBAN animation ?
4 - pre-fabricated physics type 2 - reacts on collisions, gravity is not ignored.

Judging from this discovery it seems possible that maybe there are more ONI file types which can have this "used physics" field. For example DOOR, unknown field 0x18 ( is 0x 02|00|00|00 -> reacts on collisions, ignores gravity ). Maybe there are more files with this field ? --Loser 07:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

So just checking: when you set this field, the particles suddenly had collisions\gravity and such? Gumby 02:31, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Same question as Gumby. For all I know particles do not have "physics", only objects and characters have. As for other uses of this "physics type" thing: highly unlikely. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the physics system in Oni is simplistic. There's nothing that it can do more than it already does. Don't waste your time on it. Neo


Sprite modes:

  • 0 - sprite (face camera, orient to screen)
  • 1 - rotated sprite (face camera, orient to particle)
  • 2 - beam (parallel, face camera)
  • 3 - arrow (parallel, orient to particle)
  • 4 - flat (perpendicular)
  • 7 - discus (parallel, orient to particle)

Contrail modes:

  • 5 - contrail (orient to particle)
  • 6 - contrail (face camera)

HasX flags:

For each HasX flags that is set space will be allocated in the particle to hold the respective value. For example:
  • "has velocity" - allocates space for the velocity vector (3 floats = 12 bytes)
  • "has orientation" - allocates space for a 3x3 matrix (9 floats = 36 bytes)
  • "has object attachment matrix" - allocates space for a pointer to an "object" transform matrix (pointer = 4 bytes)
  • "has damage owner" - allocates space for an int32 that indicates who owns the particle (typically the owner is a character or a turret)
The creator of a particle is responsable for properly initializing these values.
In the specific case of particle emitters the newly emitted particle can inherit these values from the emitting particle. A value is inherited if:
  • both the emitting particle and emitted particle have the coresponding HasX flag set
  • the emitter itself doesn't calculate another value (orientation, velocity etc.)

Event groups

Here we have 16 4-byte slots, which correspond to the following 16 particle event types :

0:update 1:pulse 2:start 3:stop
4:bgfx_start 5:bgfx_stop 6:hit_wall 7:hit_char
8:lifetime 9:explode A:brokenlink B:create
C:die D:newattractor E:delay_start F:delay_stop

The ZZZZ actions in the file (ZZZZ is specified at 0x1A above) are bound to a specific event # by means of this list.

If the 4-byte slot for event # reads XX XX YY YY, where XXXX < YYYY < ZZZZ, then event # will execute all the actions whose slot is greater or equal to XXXX, and less than YYYY.

Example
3RAPglass_shard.BINA has 10 actions, distributed between events as follows :
(0,4)(4,4)(4,4)(4,4)(4,4)(4,4)(4,7)(7,9)(9,10)(10,10)(10,10)(10,10)(10,10)(10,10)(10,10)(10,10)
That means :
  • actions {0,1,2,3} will be triggered by an update event
  • actions {4,5,6} will be triggered by a hit_wall event
  • actions {7,8} will be triggered by a hit_char event
  • action {9} will be triggered by a lifetime event

Variables

Every variable takes up 52=0x34 bytes. The number of variables is specified at 0x18 in the header.

For each variable space is allocated then a particle is created. Variables can be modified by some actions like "linear change", "random change" etc.

Other storage types

These storage types are never used for variables. They might work but since there are no actions that can output such values it doesn't make much sense to declare variables using these types.

Every action takes up 424=0x1A8 bytes. The number of actions is specified at 0x1A in the header.

Emitters

Every emitter takes up 444=0x1BC bytes. The number of emitters is specified at 0x1C in the header. Each emitter has space for 12 parameters but it appears that the last 2 are never used.

Direction type Inaccurate vs. Cone
The Inaccurate type was designed for standard ballistic weapons which will have a cone of fire expanding out from the point of origin, therefore it works identically to the Cone type except with an additional factor, "inaccuracy". The "angle" supplied is now a base angle, which is added to by the inaccuracy setting. The "center bias" for Cone and Inaccurate emitters can be positive to pull the dispersion of particles towards the center of the vector, or negative to push them towards the edges of the cone.
The inaccuracy setting is only used if the originating character is an AI or turret. The AI's or turret's shooting skill is looked up and multiplied by the difficulty setting's weapon inaccuracy multiplier (see ONGS), then added to the base angle. With the bias taken into account, and some randomization added by the conical dispersion function, this determines the exact trajectory of the bullet coming from the gun.
