Hi Edd,
:Also try to preview a lot before submitting, so as to
::only submit when you ''really'' think you're done.
:Of course there'll always be a typo or a bug or something,
::but there's a difference between 2/3 edits and half a dozen.
:Thanks a lot anyway.

:Hi Ed,
:Here's a tentative fix for the mismapped enter key in the OSX port:
:*go to the offset '''0x1B6050'''
:*you should see '''0D 00 00 0A''' (Oni's "enter" bound to external "return")
:*change it to '''0D 00 00 0D''' (Oni's "enter" bound to external "enter")
:It should work. Please confirm.

:'''IT WORKS!!!!!'''  I can now enter commands in the console and by pressing RETURN, I can use the 2 camera modes.
:However, the keys to move the camera, NUMPAD have no effect.  The only keys that work are the up/down arrow.  It will pan the camera up and down.
:How did you ever figure it out?
:Many thanks!

:"How did you ever figure it out?"
:Short answer is "RUSSIAN POWER!!!".
:Somewhat longer answer is "SFeLi is back, and he means business".
::I figured out the enter fix on my own, but I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for SFeLi's return.
:::The urge of doing it before he did, or something. And he gave me a few reassuring tips ^^

:FYI, while in console mode, I tried pressing the various keys on the NUMPAD and they were entered into the console.
:In other words, Oni recognizes those keys, however, in camera mode, Oni does not respond to them and move the camera.
:I wonder if it has to do with these commands:
::at 001D9D60 InitializeDeveloperKeys
::at 001D9F20 UnbindDeveloperKeys
::at 001DE240 DeveloperAccess
:You're making great progress!

:I'll tell you the story later, it might be worth an OCF thread... ^^
:Numpad keys are a bit tricky because of how OMNI used Cocoa.
:There are a number of fixes I could suggest, but before I do,
::there's a little test I'd like you to carry out.
:*go to the offset '''0x1B5EBC'''
:*you should see ''31 00 00 31''' (Oni's "1" bound to external "1")
:*change it to '''BE 00 00 31''' (Oni's "numpad1" bound to external "1")
:Then try these two things:
:*hit the regular "1" key with an open console: does it still work?
:*hit the regular "1" key in cam control mode: does it move the camera?
:More, better, later.
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 21:38, 3 January 2007 (CET)

:When I press the regular "1" in the console, nothing appears and any other character afterwards is not visible or recognized.
:However, when I use the delete key to remove "1" then start typing again, the characters will appear and be recognized
::'''(hm, so it's the same as for illegal characters... £, µ, à, é, all those... hm. [[User:Geyser|geyser]])'''
:I tried the command in the lab level '''chr_teleport 0 114''' nothing happened, but when I used '''chr_teleport 0 200''' Konoko moved to that flag.
:In camera mode, pressing the regular "1" moves the camera left, also the NUMPAD1 now moves the camera left.
::'''(that's surprising... binding a regular key to Oni's numpad event somehow waked up the ''proper'' event)'''
:So between you, SFeLi, Loser and others, we are going to see some amazing things with Oni!!!! That's awesome!!!!!

:I've been having lots of fun playing the Rooftops as "Mukade" lately.
:Slightly hacked TRAMs allow me to cover huge distances with a properly timed jump.
:The cam mode allows me to teleport anywhere I like, and there's also another thing.
:Something we refer to as "drifting". It's risky, but it's ''real'' teleporting madness.
:Oh, and the boss shield. That one rocks so much, it ought to be a regular cheat.

:It's strange that I can run the original Oni in OSX, and the NUMPAD keys are recognized and I can move the camera.
:But the OSX version by Omnigroup will recognize the NUMPAD keys in the console, but not respond to the NUMPAD keys while in camera mode.
:It seems that each version of Oni has its flaws.
:*Original Oni in OS9 -Game mode works fine, Dev Mode works - but when the game crashes it brings down the whole computer.
:*Original Oni in OSX - Dev Mode works - Game mode has flaws: the right mouse button is not recognized, so you can't kick.  Also, the mouse acts like it hits the edge of the screen so you can't turn Konoko anymore in that direction.
:*Omnigroup port in OSX - Game Mode works - Dev mode has its flaws -but you're overcoming them!
:I know... I know... I should get a PC to play Oni...  :-)
::[[User:EdT|EdT]] 02:53, 4 January 2007 (CET)
:You should get a PC, period. ^^
:Original Oni in OSX: the 2nd mouse button ''might'' be fixeable, but probably not the mouse limits.
::I guess no one will cry too much about that version, as long as we fix OMNI's... right?
:OMNI's port. The almost irreductible flaw is the trimmed-down scripting engine. Not sure we'll ever get around to fixing that.
::(which is a shame, because a ''lot'' of cool mod ideas can only be implemented on PC)
:::(and I don't mean Loser's Mukade script: that one is fully portable to Mac, flags or no flags).
:The camera navigation can be "fixed" rather easily. I feel bad for not having thought of it earlier.
:First, revert the above "fix", i.e., bind the regular "1" back to "1". We won't need any of that.
:Second, open your '''key_config.txt''', and make it look something like this:
unbindall
bind w to forward
bind a to stepleft
bind s to backward
bind d to stepright
bind q to swap
bind e to drop
bind f to punch
bind c to kick
bind space to jump
bind leftshift to crouch
bind mousebutton1 to fire1
bind mousebutton2 to fire2
bind mousebutton3 to fire3
bind mousexaxis to aim_LR
bind mouseyaxis to aim_UD
bind fkey1 to pausescreen
bind v to lookmode
bind z to walk
bind leftcontrol to action
bind tab to hypo
bind r to reload
bind fkey12 to screenshot
#bind p to forward
#bind l to stepleft
#bind apostrophe to stepright
#bind semicolon to backward
#bind o to swap
#bind leftbracket to drop
#bind k to punch
#bind comma to kick
#bind enter to walk
bind p to man_cam_move_forward
bind l to man_cam_move_left
bind apostrophe to man_cam_move_right
bind semicolon to man_cam_move_backward
bind leftarrow to man_cam_pan_right
bind rightarrow to man_cam_pan_left
bind rightshift to man_cam_move_up
bind rightcontrol to man_cam_move_down
:Allow for some variations, of course. Adopt, adapt and improve.
: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:
::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.

Now I have an almost fully functioning Dev Mode!  Just missing those PC commands! I was just wondering if it would be possible to add a couple of PC commands like chr_focus and chr_location that is needed for your scripts...
 
Hey since you can record more than 30 seconds, why don't you record your Mukade fun along with the Boss shield!


Thank you for all your efforts for us Mac users!
if you don't mind I hope you can answer these questions.


[[User:EdT|EdT]] 04:18, 5 January 2007 (CET)
Is this in Material view in your screenshot or does the Texture view works as it should on Mac side?


I notice in the binaries for the Omni port, there is a large section with only zeros.  Is it even remotely possible to add commands to that section?
Was Konoko imported with that pose or did you move her bones?
Since we have the Mac OniBeta that has the missing PC commands, would that be of help?


I know nothing when it comes to binaries and hex editing, so forgive me for the dumb questions.

Hi Edt,


I wonder if you can find any existing page around "http://oni.godgames.com/".
: 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


:> There ''used'' to be an ONI page on Godgames (http://oni.godgames.com/), but the content got deleted at some point, and then some joker hacked the index page, which had a few people wondering...
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)


Well, maybe we can surf on a random page that is cross-linked. There I expect  there the remnant high resolution in-game pictures. Have you still any working link? Maybe in your browser favourite or *somewhere else*??
: 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

Hi Ed,


I am trying to learn the science behind your glass-breaking hack. Does it modify *all* character's kicks to break glass, not just Konoko? I am pretty sure I have seen that happen. In addition to that, can the hack make character's bodies break glass when thrown? What about punches from Konoko while holding a weapon? (I always felt like it would have made sense for that to break glass.) I am fairly ignorant of how this all works. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 19:43, 28 February 2008 (CET)


----
First of all, its not "my hack" but geyser's.  Here is the instructions for it:
[[AE:Glass#Glass-breaking_combos]]


As for the science, I can only guess that the hack changes how the 3D particle for dust interacts with glass.  So if there is dust related to a move or thrown bodies, it will break the glass.  But moves without the dust particle will not break the glass.  That's why a punch will not break the glass, no dust particle connect to the punch move.  Of course, geyser would know best.  Somewhere in the forum was Loser's instructions for a better way of handling the breaking glass, but it requires a lot more editing, so I just went for the simple "hack"
::Interesting. I did read the instructions but they don't mean a lot to me. I will have to experiment with this at some point. It's a good way to add excitement to the game. You haven't lived until you've thrown Barabus through the glass at the top of TCTF Regional HQ (using the back-rolling throw that puts Konoko's feet through the glass as she flips backwards) and then fought him inside that floor. Every Earthquake brings a rain of glass down from above. It's awesome. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 21:58, 28 February 2008 (CET)

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)

Though, right now I'm still trying to figure out the Masterchief importing. Getting the model to move correctly, it has to do with the centerpoints for each body part. Also, I just cannot find where in Blender, you can change the texture coordinates of a part.  Have you tried importing your Griffin into Oni?

One other thing, with the mouse freezing issue with Oni under Leopard, have you tried changing the screen resolution of the game to see if it makes a difference?  It worked for one person.

Also, I've had an idea of a new outfit for Konoko as a tribute to GITS. I found the following and hopefully, one day, I'll try to make a skin for it. Maybe once figure out 3D modeling, even modifying the 3D Konoko to look like it.   But with my skills, that's a looong way off!

So, right now, you're trying to figure out two things in Blender, aren't you? Tex coords and setting center points for the bones? I will try to look into those soon. I really want to help, but literally this is the peak of activity at work right now and I am being swamped. I'd want to quit if I weren't already quitting.
 
I should try a different screen res., that's a good point. It might not even like my MBP's non-standard widescreen, the aspect ratio of which didn't exist when Oni was made. I just hooked up a 4:3 CRT the other day; maybe I should try playing Oni on it at a "normal" resolution.
 
That Konoko figure is awesome; I'm not typically a figure collector, but I'd buy that. And it's a great idea to give Konoko that outfit. And yes, it would involve 3D modding if you wanted to be accurate. Who knows, by the end of the year I might be able to help with that! :-)
 
Speaking more seriously, I think that my modding of Oni is not going to be governed by the Edition's release date, but rather, whatever I have done at that point can be released (either in the Edition package, geyser willing, or as a separate optional mod), but I'll just be modding at my own pace both before and after that. A new model here, a new scenario there. I have to be careful about overloading myself with deadlines, I have a tendency to do that. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 19:14, 17 April 2008 (CEST)
 
----
In Blender, its more the Tex coordinates, I can set the center points, its more of a matter of putting them in the correct place for proper movement. I would like to put some texture on the model, even if its just random, noise texture.


Looks like if you wait until May, you can get the Motoko model:
