Tags

XML tag Content type Description
<ONSK id="..."> integer Instance ID
<SkyboxTextures> - Holds 6 <Link> tags, but the 6th tag isn't used. Image order:
top
left
right
front
back
(no) bottom

To make a long story short, nothing in the resource after this tag is used.

<Link> link TXMPfile_name.oni (file suffix .oni not used)
<Planets> - Holds 8 <Link> tags. The planets can be displayed using the specified textures, sizes and positions. Unfortunately the code is unfinished and they're not occluded by anything.
<Link> link TXMPfile_name.oni (file suffix .oni not used)
<SunFlare> link TXMPfile_name.oni (file suffix .oni not used)
<Stars> - Holds 5 <Link> tags
<Link> link TXMPfile_name.oni (file suffix .oni not used)
<PlanetCount> integer Number of used planets
<NoSunFlare> integer For the first "planet" an optional "flare" can be drawn. It does not appear to work correctly, and since planets don't display correctly the flare is not of much use.
-1 (off)
0 (on)
<PlanetWidths> -
<Float> float
<PlanetHeights> -
<Float> float
<PlanetElevations> -
<Float> float Elevation in radians
<PlanetAzimuths> -
<Float> float Azimuth in radians
<SunFlareSize> float
<SunFlareIntensity> float 1.0 = 100%?
<StarCount> integer A fixed number of stars can be displayed at random positions in the sky. Doesn't appear to work; the stars are not visible, and the game crashes when the level ends.
<RandomSeed> integer Random seed for star generation.
<Offset_00F0> integer Unknown

Infamous bug

In some Windows Oni installations, the edges of the skybox cube are visible as thin black lines. Hopefully we will have a public release of the skybox fixes one day.

Here's 2 examples of the bug showing up and not showing up:

Skybox bug   Operating system         Main board   Processor                Graphics card
yes          Windows 7 Home Premium   M5A99X EVO   AMD Phenom II X6 1055T   AMD Radeon HD 7970
no           Windows 7 Home Premium   - (laptop)   Intel Core i5 2467M      Intel HD Graphics Family (Revision 9)

Beta fix

Neo's plugin fixes the skybox borders and sun's visibility.

Change date 15.07.2014

The ZIP contains also the Oni.exe and binkw32.dll to use in tandem with it.

Known issues:

  • Doesn't work with the Daodan DLL
  • Problems with lensflares
  • Problems with sorting transparencies
