Exporting geometry

onisplit -extract:xml output_path path_to/DOOR*.oni

This will extract some metadata in an XML file alongside the 3D content stored in a DAE file.

Importing geometry

Use triangulated meshes to avoid holes in M3GM instances.
onisplit -create output_path path_to/DOOR*.xml

The 3D content can probably also be referenced with absolute file paths, but to keep things simple the DAE file should be in the same folder. Sample references (as relative paths) can be seen in the Sample XML section under the <Geometry> tags. Of course TXMPs are required as part of the new 3D content.

Exporting animation

Normally it would be...

onisplit -extract:dae output_path path_to/OBANfile.oni -geom:M3GMfile.oni

...but since we don't use standalone M3GMs for doors anymore, use this instead:

onisplit -create output_path path_to/DOOR*.xml
onisplit -extract:dae output_path path_to/OBAN*.oni

Then, in a 3D editor, group the geometries under the animated NULL object.

Next, you might want to do the following:

  • Set the geometries' local rotation to X = 0
  • Translate the geometries' center to their lowest point
  • Translate the geometries in object mode onto the NULL
Question
Does OniSplit respect ZAxisUp while converting OBAN*.oni to *.dae?
Answer
No. The output values are the same no matter if ZAxisUp is present or not.

Importing animation

Note: ZAxisUp must be set in the OBAN.

Question
Do InitialTransform and BaseTransform affect the door?
Answer
Yes. To keep the animation unchanged, use these:
       <InitialTransform>1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0</InitialTransform>
       <BaseTransform>1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0</BaseTransform>
Question
How is ZAxisUp handled best in a 3D editor when OniSplit doesn't respect its value?
Answer
For now, keep NULL's global X rotation to -90.

Note: At the moment, OBAN import works only with cameras.

Making a new door class

Before importing doors via the "master file", you must place the door class and its TXMP(s) inside the "shared" folder.

After level creation, the new door class and its animation must be placed in level 0.

In shared folder
* DOOR file
* TXMP file(s) (only one for each embedded M3GM instance)

In level 0
* DOOR file
* OBAN file
Open question
Does re-converting an original DOOR change it in any way so that e.g. its OBAN is also required in the shared folder?
Notes about original doors
In the original game levels, there are files such as "M3GMdoor_1_0.oni". That's an animated door part. (Doors consist of an animated and a static part.) But OniSplit will store animated door parts inside ONLV, so we don't need separate M3GMs.
