XML ONCC << Other file types >> ONGS switch to OBD page

general information

• The xml code on this page is based on onisplit v0.9.61.0
• ONCV*.oni are global. (It can be found in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/level0_Final.dat)
• New characters with only one costume should use ONCVany.
• ONCC referring to a missing ONCV will crash the game. (If you introduce a new ONCV also update ONVL.)
• This file is used to create random characters and harder character variants on game difficulty level hard.
• It is also used by XML:BINA/SABD to indentify which character a set of animation sounds applies to. (Looks like only BINADBASKonoko and BINADBASAny have actual content. The rest are links.)

Every character in BINACJBOCharacter can have a flag for shapeshifting* into a random** ONCC.

This doesn't effect BINACJBOCharacter properties: the character will keep his/her name, melee profile, drop items, etc..

* The XML flag is named "RandomCostume" and must be set in CHAR.

** The actual ONCC is chosen from all ONCC linking to the ONCV (It's like they create a pool for randomness.)

example

ONCVbarabus.xml
Boss character like Barabas doesn't use the difficulty "hard" upgrade.
