general information

• See HERE if you don't know how to convert an oni file into XML and vice versa.
• See HERE if you are searching for more general information such as how to handle object coordinates.
• This file is level specific.

BSL support

• http://ssg.oni2.net/commands.htm#dev-p3

a theory: following commands might depend on particle events (not checked yet)

• particle particle_name pulse
• particle particle_name start
• particle particle_name stop
• particle particle_name explode
• particle particle_name create

kill as die ?

• particle particle_name kill

note about wannabe-damaging particle

Fire and gas particle alone are useless until you try inserting a damage effect right there. In original game it's made with a trigger volume.

particle auto1fire start
### TV inside function
func void fire_damage(string ai_name)
{
	dprint fire_hurt_konoko
	### ignore the "fire_hurt_konoko"
	### all characters get damage because the TV is registered for all teams (255)
	### ps: this damage cannot be absorbed by a shield
	chr_poison (ai_name, 5, 30, 30);
}

XML structure

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Oni Version="0.9.28.0">

[...] means at least one particle. Paste all particle data into there (this includes <Object ...> and </Object> tag).

tags

• <Flags> : (unknown, usually 0)
• <Position> : (particle is created at this xyz-position)
• <Rotation> : (particle has xyz-rotation (in degrees))
• <Class> : (file name, can have up to 64 characters)
• <Tag> : (name for BSL use, can have up to 48 characters)
• <Flags> :

(? = real meaning is unknown)

4 - ?, used by <Class>env_shinzom_sound</Class> <Tag>zombient</Tag>

5 - ?, used only once and that's in compound and it doesn't even work because the file is missing (<Class>env_sturm_sound</Class> <Tag>sturm_ambient</Tag>) but nevertheless used in the BSL file

7 - ?, used by yellow objective circles, mad bomber particle in level 3 bio lab, dish elavator red warning env_emlite_e01

12 - ?, used for non-animated particles (e.g. lamp lights, images and captions like the level 1 training room captions)

13 - ?, used for animated images (e.g. fire) and moving particles (e.g. falling snow, forcefield and compound dish particle)

15 - ?, used for <Class>objective_e01</Class> <Tag>fight</Tag> and <Class>env_splash_e02</Class> <Tag>OutroSplash</Tag>
