Is it possible to add a save point ?

I was thinking is it possible to add a save point to a level ?... precisely the dream lab ... just after konoko fights griffin and before she fights evil konoko ...

cz sometimes I just feel like fighting evil konoko without having to go thru the TCTF and griffin and the ninja ... i know there are walk arounds, but it would be easier if there was just a save point ... so is it possible ?

The problem is that Oni's savepoints are not a simple dump of the game state to the disk. They are based on scripting. It takes a fair bit of code to restore a savepoint in Oni because everything has to be set up again, up to that point in the level. Adding savepoints is like inserting a new scene into a story that's already been written and making it blend in seamlessly.

Also, isn't the fight with Konoko the very last thing you do in the level? It probably wouldn't be good pacing to insert a savepoint a few minutes before the end of the level.

There are other ways to set up a fight with Konoko, though. It would be fastest to adapt a script like Good vs. Evil for that purpose.

mm i downloaded the script it says for watching not participating

also I don't want to replace any levels ... but it does sound interesting

Well, the script provides some spawn points and a modified BINA file to provide more spawnable characters, so it makes it faster to set up a fight any AI (as long as you don't mind it being in the Warehouse). You just wouldn't set up your own Konoko as invisible and neutral, if you wanted to actually fight yourself.

Here's a very basic script for fighting Evil Konoko in the dream level:

func void main (void) {

chr_teleport 0 0002

ai2_spawn evilkonoko
chr_teleport evilkonoko 0011
}

Here are the script commands in Oni:

I will try that as soon as I understand how to make scripts :$ I'm reading about it in the galore the script tutorial .

why don't they work if i just type them in developer mode

btw an off topic subject your videos on YouTube Edt are amazingly creative I just saw them yesterday i can only imagine how much work u put into them (the dancing and when enemies becomes allies especially )

You can type those commands into the console and they'll work just fine. The point of making a script is avoid having to type them every time.
