Creating the Lair - A level tutorial

EdT · 26/8/11 23:30

Exciting news! OniSplit now has a level importer! Please see Part 7) Level Importer - Beta for more info. I know I skipped a couple of parts, will work on those.

Wow, Neo is really working fast lately. I hope everyone realizes how much we owe to him for his efforts.

Yea, and if OBAN creation is added (for camera drifts, object and char-y-axis animation) we should be able to create quite any ONI level we want.

Got the level to work. Needed two placeholders for TXMPEYE and TXMPT2. The objects are all on their place and seem to work as they should. Almost all. When animated one part of the double door is flipped. I thought that it could be something we never noticed before but it's not. You can see it at the jittering of the original and new doors. (Compare red crosses.)

A proposal:
Couldn't see how the sky was added to the level so I guess sunset is default. I would like to see more ONLV feature inside the xml file that bakes everything. (Marked in yellow.) Then we don't need to edit the created ONLV afterwards again. (That's at least the idea.)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Level>
<Environment>
<Model>
<Import>AKEVtest.dae</Import>
</Model>
<Rooms>
<Import>test_bnv.dae</Import>
</Rooms>
</Environment>
<Objects>
<Import>player.xml</Import>
<Import>objects.xml</Import>
</Objects>
<BSLfolder></BSLfolder>
<Skybox>ONSK*</Skybox>
<Characters>AISAlevel#_scripts</Characters>
<ENVP>
<Particles />
</ENVP>
<CRSA>
<FixedCount>0</FixedCount>
<UsedCount>0</UsedCount>
<Corpses />
</CRSA>
</Level>

Sky is <Skybox>ONSK*

paradox-01 · 27/8/11 14:12

Got it.

Iritscen · 27/8/11 14:25

Heh, you have sharp eyes, paradox. Also, EdT, are you going to cover lightmaps at some point?

Lukas Kreator · 27/8/11 16:19

Wait, what exactly does the new importer do? Do we still need LevelTools?

Sorry for not seeing for myself, I don't have much time right now.

Part 5 Adding objects to the environment is up.
Part 2 Ghost quads info added.

paradox: ONLV will be editable in later versions and more features will be added. TXMP%65ye is the file you want, TXMPT2 is in level0_Final folder.
Iritscen: I don't know about lightmapping
Lukas: level importer is a command within OniSplit, we still need a GUI.

Iritscen · 28/8/11 7:44

Okay, maybe I will take it upon myself to cover lightmapping at some point, once I learn how to do it. Did you mention the flipped doors to Neo, EdT?

Mukade · 28/8/11 10:42

True, I guess we don't have light baking do we?

Iritscen · 28/8/11 12:16

It can be done, but it's a kludge.

Yoriko · 28/8/11 16:46

Lightmapping? You mean that we can make objects in game emit light?

Nitr0 · 28/8/11 17:07

emm where are pics o.O

No, but we can pretend that they do in a modeler, and bake the results from the modeler's radiosity render into the textures. Again, that requires a sort of hack. Oni natively only supports vertex shading.

Updated Part 7 Level Importer with information on Doors, Consoles and Doorlights.

Script_10k: Did you try out the Lair with the addition of the city? http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/v … 582#p37582

s10k · 23/10/11 7:28

Yeah that's what I was talking about.
