:The basic idea is that the left-handed controls ''are'' mapped properly.
:And we never use them. So? let's map them to '''man_cam_...''' instead!
:'''leftarrow''' and '''rightarrow''' are consistent with the auto-bound '''uparrow''' and '''downarrow'''.
:You may want to use '''pageup''' and '''pagedown''' instead of '''rightshift''' and '''rightcontrol'''.
 
:Note that you'll hardly ever use anything but the equivalent of WASD, i.e.:
:*man_cam_move_forward
:*man_cam_move_left
:*man_cam_move_right
:*man_cam_move_backward
:Why? Because in camera mode 2 (press Enter twice), you can aim up, and then '''man_cam_move_forward''' makes you go up much faster than '''man_cam_move_up''' would. Same for going down.


:The only occasion on which you'll use the other 6 keys is when you want to:
if you don't mind I hope you can answer these questions.
::move the camera away so as to get a nice remote view
::''and'' keep mouse control over Konoko
:That's what camera mode 1 is for. Then you need the whole lot. And you got it.

Is this in Material view in your screenshot or does the Texture view works as it should on Mac side?
Just wanted to thank you for the work on the modding tutorials (TXMP, adding char.s). That's some really important info. Also, I had a thought about the topic I brought up above, glass-breaking. Since the hack makes the dust particle break glass, can't we mod a move to generate dust if we want that move to break glass? It's still my goal at some point to see a mod that allows Konoko to break glass when she has a weapon in hand, and punches with it. I noticed we have [[OBD:TRAM/raw0x2C|specific documentation]] that shows where an animation can generate a particle. I bet we could just mod that to generate the glass-breaking particle. What do you think? --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 15:47, 17 April 2008 (CEST)

Was Konoko imported with that pose or did you move her bones?
I've been meaning to get the tutorials up, hopefully, it will help others to do more modding.


I think it is a good idea, I found the post with Loser's glass breaking hack:

: It was Object Mode with Material for Viewport shading. I had to merge all 19 parts of original Konoko into a single mesh for Overgrowth and used this pose. This was the .obj version that I posted in the Lugara thread, so no bones. Also I imported the AKEV.dae file for the Warehouse directly into Blender.

:And another thing. [http://geyser.oni2.net/edition/characters/cosplay_level.zip HERE] you'll find a dat/raw/sep set that you can place in your GameDataFolder (use the ones with the "Mac" suffix; PC dudes would of course use the ones with the "PC" suffix).
:In order for Oni to load those plugins, you have to modify a byte in the engine (both on Mac and on PC). Here are the instructions, let us know if it works on the Mac:

Thank you. Will look into the tuts at weekend. For now I will go with Blender (only for content creation) and UE4. Learning three programs at once might be a bit much, don't you think. Or maybe you want to tell me some features of Unity that are totally mind blowing.
I'm not that keen in programming h2h combat without the help of visual scripting - we need a lot of customizations and I have already seen a bunch of promising tutorials on youtube for ue4. [[User:Paradox-01|paradox-01]] ([[User talk:Paradox-01|talk]]) 21:26, 13 September 2017 (CEST)


Wow!
: Nope nothing mind blowing about Unity :)  I just happened to look at the videos for it. Now I will look into UE4, can you share some of the promising videos?  Also, let's continue this discussion by email, you have my email address from s10k. EdT


I made the change in the Oni and the plugin loaded as you can see here:
:Got Level Info for level0_CosplayMac.dat.
:Valid Level level0_CosplayMac.dat


EDIT: I see what it does, it loads the cosplay Konoko as a global character. 


EDIT2: Are you limited to a single character or could you, for example, make a plugin with all 3 versions of the Masterchief, plus any other new content?


I look forward to more info on how this can be done.
----
 
I can see how this will make it much easier for the end user, just put the files in the GameDataFolder and you're done!
 
Also, thanks for the cosplay model.  I still have lots to learn about using the right meshes. But It seems the facets in my Motoko model are a result of the FBX converter.  I did another extract of ONCCk4_K and then converted the .dae to fbx.  If you're interested, you can see the results here; http://edt.oni2.net/3D/ONCCk4_K.zip
 
[[User:EdT|EdT]] 06:55, 5 May 2008 (CEST)
 
Wow, geyser, you are full of surprises. I do have to say that it didn't work for me last night. I changed the byte to 9A, verifying that it was 7A to begin with. I put the cosplay .dat/.raw/.sep files in the GDF. But when I loaded a level and used F8, I didn't find any new Konokos. Still, it worked for Ed, so that means I probably just did something wrong. This is really amazing. We demand details! How does this work, what are the limitations, etc. And thanks! --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 15:28, 6 May 2008 (CEST)
:Ed: As for the FBX conversion, I guess you'll have to tell us what you're converting ''with''. It looks like the model is not completely faceted, but was auto-smoothed with a rather small smoothing angle. You should be able to fine-tune that angle or to switch to full smoothing.
:It's good to hear that the plugin worked for you. There is no limitation as for what a plugin can hold. You can, for example, split level0_Final into several smaller bundles/folders, with modularity and quick import in mind. You can also have level-specific plugins (e.g., OBJC).
:There is, however, a limitation as for the number of .dat files detected by Oni at startup (and also as for the number of .dat files loaded simultaneously). The former limitation is the most relevant to you since OMNI's engine can only "see" 16 .dat files, which is quite minimal.
:Iritscen: try to at least fake some patience, for the sake of our [[friend]]ship. It works simply because the public versions of Oni have an internal test, whereby they only accept "_Final.dat" as valid level files: we've merely disabled that check. And it's not Russian power because I'm just the middleman here.
:As for you not seeing any new Konokos (technically, it's a Motoko we're talking about), Motoko is supposed to be at the very start of the F8 loop (meaning that after enabling shapeshifting you'll get her with F8,Shift+F8 or Shift+F8,F8. You can also check startup.txt to see if the .dat was loaded correctly.
:Once the engine is patched to allow for non-Final files, you can use OniSplit to create [[dat|instance files]] with any name (although you still can't use "_tools" or "_Tools"; there's another check for that, which we consider a minor limitation).
:It is critical that you create the files with OniSplit. Renaming them by hand won't work, because the name of the file is hashed and used throughout the [[dat|instance file]] as a key (BTW, Ed, looks like Dox and you did double work here; sorry).
:Of course, the files are sepness-specific, so if you mean to distribute plugins to both Mac and PC users, you'll have to build a dat/raw/sep set ''and'' a dat/raw set like I did for the example above (and the examples below).
:To get a feel for the possible applications and for the limitations of OMNI's engine, try the following two plugins.
:*a global "BGI" plugin featuring a bunch of Spartans and the tentative machinegun thingie:
::http://geyser.oni2.net/edition/plugins/level0_BGI.zip
:*a local instance file supposed to alter the character lineup in {{C|2}}:
::http://geyser.oni2.net/edition/plugins/level2_OBJC.zip
:If you place both of these in your GDF and then look at the startup file (and at the Load Game dialog), you should notice that level9_Final ( {{C|7}} ) failed to load (and maybe other chapters if you've kept the Cosplay around). That's the 16-instance-file limitation issue. If we can't fix OMNI's engine, you'll have to play Oni one "act" at a time (something like 6 chapters + level0 + plugins).
:All limitations aside, the effect of the plugins depends on the order in which they are listed and on the type of instance inside. The characters and weapon in level0_BGI end up ''before'' those in level0_Final, but it's the BINACJBOCharacter from ''level2_OBJC'' that is used, even though level2_OBJC is loaded ''after'' level2_Final. Not too intuitive, but hopefully there are firm rules that apply here.
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 04:53, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
:My problem with the machine gun is that it has non-planar quads triangulated the wrong way (meaning 17secs didn't really do his job as a modeler), and that it has a rather plain look and feel. See it as just an example.
:The Spartans have a few remaining issues (apart from them being stolen from Halo, of course).
:*The downsampled and posterized texture (that can only be fixed by remapping the whole thing; then again, the env mapping does a good job at concealing the ugly bits).
:*The awkward look of the shoulder joints while aiming (that's an Oni-wide animation issue, even if it looks especially bad here; maybe the skeleton needs another polish, too).
:*The environment maps won't look "exactly right" unless there are weighted normals (again, this is a general issue in Oni; unweighted normals = ugly Gouraud and envmaps).
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 04:53, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
 
:::How am I lacking patience? I tried it and it didn't work. There was nothing else for me to try so I reported my problem so you guys could help me. EdT did so by sending me his version of the modded app. Although I think I applied the hack properly, his copy had debugging msgs enabled, and I realized that as I switched characters, it was skipping every other one. Char 1 --> Char 3 --> Char 5, and looping around to hit the even numbers, 2, 4, 6, etc. I still cycled through every character eventually, but didn't see Motoko. Then I realized that if I turned 'shapeshifter' off, it didn't skip characters ^_^'  I've always been in the habit of turning it on right after turning on 'killmequick', because it seemed that shape-shifting didn't work properly otherwise. But now it seems to. So, yeah, apparently having shapeshifter enabled twice means each F8 advances two characters, not one. It also skips #0, which is how it identifies Motoko, even when it's doing evensies, apparently because some code thinks that zero is not even, so it starts at 2. But I guess the solution is simply, Don't enable 'shapeshifter' with the Edition. Heh.
:::Re the 16 level limit, I'm no hacker, but that should be as easy to fix as disabling the check for "_Final". It's also much more important than disabling that check. It's a small thing to have to name a mod patch "yadayada_Final" in order to go along with the original name-check system, but it's a real shame if every patch installed knocks out a level of the game. But I would think it would be easy enough to change a '16' to at least a '31' in the code, if it can be found in the first place. Oh well, I look forward to trying those "plugins".

Reporting in... kinda of busy right now, so it will be brief
 
I was able to load all the levels, none were missing, so it looks like there is no 16 instance file limits. Here's the startup file: http://edt.oni2.net/OniSplit/startup.txt


An army of Spartans, cool.
'''Talk page archives''': [[User_talk:EdT/Archive1|#1]]


I used FBX converter by AutoDesk, the one Neo mentioned, there are no options for Collada import or export (At least in the GUI)
Phew, another dusty talk page! *cough cough* I just wanted to draw your attention to [[User_talk:Iritscen/Archive2#slowmo|this conversation]], which is in reference to [[Special:Diff/22248/22319|this edit of mine]]. Thanks. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 23:59, 7 May 2013 (CEST)


When you have time, please post instructions on how to create the instance files, I would like to give it a test.
::Cleaned up all the dust. :) [[User:EdT|EdT]] ([[User talk:EdT|talk]]) 00:41, 8 May 2013 (CEST)


Iritscen: Once I'm in Dev Mode, all I need to do it press F8 to shapeshift or F7 to cycle weapons, I don't need to enter shapeshfter again.
::: Mm, yes, but... :-S well, it's much better to archive it then delete it. There's a lot of history back there, like when geyser helped you patch the Mac app and we experimented with plugins. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 00:47, 8 May 2013 (CEST)

::::Archived. Thanks for the suggestion. [[User:EdT|EdT]] ([[User talk:EdT|talk]]) 01:09, 8 May 2013 (CEST)
 
::Okay, that's great news; so maybe we don't need to worry about that level limit. And yeah, Ed, I knew that shapeshifter was supposed to work without entering the specific code, but there was some reason traditionally why I always did that, like the Edition's shapeshifting wasn't cycling backwards when you hit Shift-F8 or something. Maybe I was mistaken, since that works now. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 17:42, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
 
Regarding the 16 .dat files limit: I'd suggest someone check if all levels are actually loading.
 
[[User:Neo|Neo]]
:Ed, I second Neo's request. You ''did'' say "I was able to load all the levels", but could you please confirm:
:*that you can indeed load and play every one of Oni's 14 chapters
:*that the "army of Spartans" (and cosplay Motoko) is available globally
:*that the character lineup in Chapter 2 is modified as expected (Barabas at the start and Muro at the end)
:I mean, the 16-dat limit is a major issue to us, so we can't accept it's gone without a thorough check.
:About the Collada-FBX conversion, well, it's a shame that Autodesk's converter has no custom settings.
:However, Cheetah almost certainly allows you to recompute the normals, so that the FBX has no facets.
:Then there's a chance that the resulting FBX will be converted back to Collada without any trouble.
:If Autodesk's converter introduces automatic smoothing on the way back, too, there'll be a problem.
:Perhaps the best way around it is to let OniSplit autogenerate normals (there's a -normals tag now).
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 19:39, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
:Iritscen, '''shapeshifter''' is totally redundant of the DevMode. Maybe you used to have problems with Shift+F8 because of the Shift key not being bound or something. Anyway, glad it works for you now. One thing, though. There's no reason why the "double shapeshifter" should ignore 0, so you may want to double-check that. As a matter of fact Oni doesn't care about anything being "even" there, and it ''just'' acts as if you kept pressing F8 twice in a row. So I kinda doubt your report about 0, sorry.
:By "patience" I merely meant that you could have avoided "We demand details!". I ''know'' it's not serious, but ''you'' know I hate that crap. You don't need to fake enthusiasm like that, and if it's not faked, then you have a problem ^_^
:As for your suggestion about "yadayada_Final", you don't really know what you're talking about. The "_Final" the engine used to check for is supposed to come ''right after'' the "level#" sequence, and '''level0_yadayada_Final''', for example, is ''not'' a "_Final" name (neither is '''level0_Final_yadayada''')
:The 16 can't be changed easily, or else we (me and the ''expert hacker'' I represent) wouldn't have been so alarmed/pessimistic about it. We ''do'' know where it is, but if it wasn't for the lucky fact that the 16 is somehow ignored, you would have had to load and play Oni one "act" at a time, most likely.
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 20:16, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
:::Sorry to interject, but I didn't realize that OniSplit could generate normals. They're smoothed? Also, is it at all possible that the Mac does not have the same limitation as the PC version? It could even be a difference in the width of the variable that is declared, on the Mac vs. the PC. Just throwing that out there. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 19:51, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
:The -normals option was requested (by me) some time ago, but only appeared in the latest not-quite-release of OniSplit (0.9.9). It only works for TRBS right now, and still needs some checking.
:These normals are totally smooth and "angle-based": the vertex normal is a weigthed sum of the normals of all adjacent faces, the weight being the angle of every face's corner at that vertex. This weighting provides much more accurate normals than an unweighted sum, and hence better-looking Gouraud shading and environment mapping.
:As for the limitation, it is of course different on PC and on Mac. On PC, there's no 16 anywhere to see: we can have 512 .dat files in GDF at Oni startup and 64 can be loaded simultaneously. The 64 limit is apparently the same on every version, but the 512 limit is a 16 on Mac and PC demo, apparently ignored (so, no limit?).
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 20:16, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
:::Or does that mean 64 is the limit? I will test this myself when I get the opportunity. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 20:31, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
:No, technically, 64 is about the simultaneously ''loaded'' instance files, not the ones detected at startup. Like, level0_Final and 31 level0_ plugins, and then level9_Final and 31 level9_ plugins (that said, you no longer need to have a _Final file at all. the names can be anything).
:Oh, and I see I forgot do address Ed's question about how to make those plugins. I already told you. They're ''just'' files built the usual way, with -import:sep or -import:nosep. The only difference is that the target name no longer has to be level#_Final. No changes at all apart from that.
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 20:51, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
 
Sorry, didn't enough time to test all levels when I posted my original comment.
:All levels loaded and can be played except for Level 8 TCTF Headquarters. Thus 17 instances loaded? 0-16?
:Spartans and cosplay are global
:Character lineup has changed with Barabas and Muro
 
Anything else I should test?
 
Too many things going on in real life...
[[User:EdT|EdT]] 22:44, 8 May 2008 (CEST)
:Please confirm: does '''startup.txt''' look like the one you posted previously (all 18 .dat files listed and reported as valid)?
:What about level8 a.k.a. Chapter 6? What can you say about the way that it "can't be played"? Not visible in Load Game?
:What about level9 a.k.a. Chapter 7? Could it be that you've skipped it when testing all the levels? Please check again...
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 03:51, 9 May 2008 (CEST)

: To confirm, only the TCTF Headquarters level will start to load then Oni will crash.  I also tested it on my Intel computer, same result.
: Here is the crash log: http://edt.oni2.net/OniSplit/PluginCrash.txt
 
[[User:EdT|EdT]] 05:20, 9 May 2008 (CEST)
 
"(Neo, you too, listen up)". Already did the test :). I split level0_Final.dat into 19 files and now the PC Demo doesn't even start. Reason: the filename of the 17th file got corrupted so it cannot find the file. That's why I asked someone with a Mac to check if the levels really load.
 
[[User:Neo|Neo]]
 
It's probably unnecessary for me to report this, but yes, my Intel Mac also also crashed when it tried to load the 1st TCTF level (when I had three plugins in the GDF). I can confirm that the (very nice-looking!) Spartans are present, although I forgot to test the chaingun. And Barabus is an unexpected surprise in Chapter 2.  But yeah, crash-a-rama with the TCTF HQ.
 
So it looks like we have three options as far as the Mac goes:
# Change the '16' (which is not easy, apparently)
# Only use this method for basic crucial patches to the Edition or generally global effects like adding the Spartans
# Compiling more and more patches into the same one or two plug-ins, and releasing those newer versions of the plug-ins, to replace the older versions
 
P.S.: Please don't be oversensitive, geyser; you dropped in with blockbuster information and gave us no details on its workings, of course I said, "We demand details!" I hope you know that, at least to a native English speaker (which I often forget you aren't because your English is so good), "We demand __!" would not be interpreted as a strict command, but a friendly enthusiastic request. At least between familiar acquaintances it means that; perhaps a smiley would have helped convey my tone of voice.
 
P.P.S.: I don't fake enthusiasm, geyser, it's all real :-D

When using the level0_BGI plugin and the modified Oni.exe with a "normal" installation of Oni (Not AE) only one Masterchief (Striker version) will appear and he will be 1/2 black 1/2 transparent.


Script_10K first reported it and paradox-01 confirmed it.  Video from Script_10K http://edt.oni2.net/AE/Script10K_MC_bug.WMV

Hi Edd,

if you don't mind I hope you can answer these questions.

Is this in Material view in your screenshot or does the Texture view works as it should on Mac side?

Was Konoko imported with that pose or did you move her bones?

Do you remember a helpful resource and some annoying pitfalls about rigging characters in blender? --paradox-01 (talk) 23:52, 12 September 2017 (CEST)

It was Object Mode with Material for Viewport shading. I had to merge all 19 parts of original Konoko into a single mesh for Overgrowth and used this pose. This was the .obj version that I posted in the Lugara thread, so no bones. Also I imported the AKEV.dae file for the Warehouse directly into Blender.
Fortunately, I kept the links to the tutorials I used for rigging. Rigging and Skinning a Character Model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPbSGUPj72w, Making a Simple Walk Animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSDWfx6ib9k A search on youtube will give you more up to date tutorials, including how to use the Blender Game Engine.
You might want to search for "Third Person Characters in Unity" in youtube, they look interesting. EdT

Thank you. Will look into the tuts at weekend. For now I will go with Blender (only for content creation) and UE4. Learning three programs at once might be a bit much, don't you think. Or maybe you want to tell me some features of Unity that are totally mind blowing. I'm not that keen in programming h2h combat without the help of visual scripting - we need a lot of customizations and I have already seen a bunch of promising tutorials on youtube for ue4. paradox-01 (talk) 21:26, 13 September 2017 (CEST)

Nope nothing mind blowing about Unity :) I just happened to look at the videos for it. Now I will look into UE4, can you share some of the promising videos? Also, let's continue this discussion by email, you have my email address from s10k. EdT

Phew, another dusty talk page! *cough cough* I just wanted to draw your attention to this conversation, which is in reference to this edit of mine. Thanks. --Iritscen (talk) 23:59, 7 May 2013 (CEST)

Cleaned up all the dust. :) EdT (talk) 00:41, 8 May 2013 (CEST)
Mm, yes, but... :-S well, it's much better to archive it then delete it. There's a lot of history back there, like when geyser helped you patch the Mac app and we experimented with plugins. --Iritscen (talk) 00:47, 8 May 2013 (CEST)
Archived. Thanks for the suggestion. EdT (talk) 01:09, 8 May 2013 (CEST)
