Oni: The Arena of Pain

Barneyhater · 09/17/08 15:09

Soo lets say I want to make a new level.dat out of level 5, I would type in
-import:nosep ..\Gamedata\level5_Final ..\Gamedata\level31_Final.dat
And how do I fill in the level unlock parts?
How did you get Oni to recognize your "Arena" folder?
How did you get Arena of Pain to show up on the Load screen?
What came first? The chicken or the egg?
Sorry about all the questions Thanks

Don't worry about the level unlock parts. The persist.dat I provided unlocks ALL the levels that can be unlocked with the current engine. To get oni to recognize the Arena folder I edited the ONLV file. Using my persist.dat, and new levels will show up. The egg, thats the way evolution works.

Barneyhater · 09/18/08 15:09

ONLV file? Because I want to try and get a bunch of scripts working while my original levels are there. So I would type this thingy:

-import:nosep ..\Gamedata\level5_Final ..\Gamedata\level31_Final.dat

for each level I want to add (replace 5 and 31), and edit this ONLV file (found where? and how to edit?), create a new folder with the name of the new level relative to what I changed in the ONLV file... And thats it?

And what laid the egg then?

Better option, with less chance of screwing up (and fixing a typo).

Create a new folder named "level31_Final" in your GameDataFolder. Copy all of the stuff in level6_Final into level31_Final. (There is no level5 folder)

Run this command:

onisplit -extract:xml XMLFolder ..\GameDataFolder\level31_Final\ONLV*.oni

Now there should be a folder named XMLFolder in your install directory. Go there and open the XML file (Right-click => Edit).

Change the <Name>Airport_III</Name> to <Name>Whatever you want the folder to be named ;D</Name> and Save. Also, at this point you can do things like changing it to daytiime (<SkyBox>ONSKafternoon</SkyBox>). That's about the only exciting thing I can think of. Save!

Run:

onisplit -create ..\GameDataFolder\level31_Final\ XMLFOLDER\ONLV*.xml

onisplit -import:nosep ..\GamedataFolder\level31_Final ..\GamedataFolder\level31_Final.dat

---

A thing that was close, but not quite a chicken.

Barneyhater, aren't you a Mac user? Then you should use the import:sep option, not :nosep. I should have spoken up earlier about that.

Gumby · 09/18/08 16:09

-_- Yes, use import:sep. -_-

Barneyhater · 09/19/08 19:09

Errr.... I don't have an XMLFolder so I just made one in my edition/install/ . It doesn't work o.O

Gumby · 09/19/08 20:09

It is supposed to make one by itself...

Is the mac folder layout different than the PC one?

Barneyhater · 09/19/08 20:09

*Shrugs*

BH: Use this: http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/v … php?id=674

Barneyhater · 09/19/08 20:09

I am using the latest version (Nice improvement btw) . I entered in the code without the mono like AETools said I should.

EdT · 09/19/08 21:09

Are you trying to export a file to .xml? Then use the export tab and click the Export as .xml file.
If not, what command are you trying to use?

BTW, download AETools again, I updated the Import section, you can now rebuild levels 30-33.

Seems this is limited to persist.dat file. So if one of our mods uses this method you will need replace again the persist dat, losing others customs levels selection I am right?

Barneyhater · 09/20/08 12:09

-extract:xml XMLFolder ..\GameDataFolder\level31_Final\ONLV*.oni

I'm trying to extract the ONLV file. It's not under your export as .xml choice though.

Gumby · 09/20/08 13:09

Script10k: No. The persist.dat I included unlocked ALL of the levels that could be unlocked (and even a few more that can't be used unless Neo gives us an engine update).

Barneyhater: You did copy the stuff that was inside level6 into level31, right? Also, try upgrading onisplit.

wow nice! Ok, I will use it then.

EdT · 09/20/08 13:09

BH: It will work, I just did not list all the things that can be exported and imported as .xml

FYI, here is the list:
CONS, DPge, HPge, IGHH, IPge, OBJC, ONCC, ONCV, ONLD, ONLV, ONGS, ONSK, ONVL, ONWC, OPge, PAR3, PSpc, PSpL, PSUI, TRAC, TRAM, TRIG, TRGE, TRMA, TXMB, TXMP, WMCL, WMDD, WMM_, WPge.

P.S. Remember on the Mac use "/" not "\" so the correct syntax of the command is
extract:xml XMLFolder ../GameDataFolder/level31_Final/ONLV*.oni

Ok I got it thanks EdT. Now I just need help with the last two commands:

-create ../GameDataFolder/level31_Final/XMLFiles/ONLV*.xml

-import:nosep ../GamedataFolder/level31_Final ../GamedataFolder/level31_Final.dat

(I changed XMLFOLDER to XMLFiles, thats the name of the folder with the XML in it, and I changed the "\" to "/". It still doesnt work.)

EdT · 09/20/08 17:09

BH: You don't need to enter the commands manually, that's what AETools is for! Just go to the import tab, in the first drop down menu select level31_Final then click on the "Import source file" then browse to the modified ONLV file and select it. Now go to the second drop down menu that says "Select Level to rebuild" and select Level31.

ALso, I notice you have the XMLFiles folder inside your level31_Final folder, it should not be there, it may affect the rebuilding of the level. So move that folder somewhere else before rebuilding.

Gumby · 09/20/08 20:09

your -create command is wrong.

Should be -create ../GameDataFolder/level31_Final XMLFiles/ONLV*.xml unless you relocated the XML folder.

Hm. I backed up my persist, put all the new files in my /edition folder and ran the install. It unlocked the rest of the standard save points I haven't reached yet (since reinstalling the game) but no extra levels or anything at the end. So I put the level30 folder in the GameDataFolder and the Arena folder in the IGMD folder, tried again, no avail. Ran the install again, tried again, no avail. That's all the ideas I've got. Lol.

love_Oni · 06/07/09 21:06

Try this?
-Put all the files in /edition folder
-Run "install.bat"
-Back up your /edition/persist.dat
-Copy persist.dat in the archive to /edition folder
-Choose "The Arena of Pain" in Load game screen
-If this even doesn't work, load the "Compound" level and type "win level" cheat
... Does it work?

Leus · 06/07/09 22:06

I forgot to mention I get the blam! error.

I tried what you said; if I don't have the Arena folder in the IGMD and the level30 files in the GameDataFolder then the Arena of Pain doesn't show up on the list. And if I put them in their places and run the install, I get the blam! error if I select it, or if I do winlevel on the Compound, Oni just closes.

Gumby · 06/07/09 23:06

Well thats....interesting. : /

You shouldn't have to manually put anything in the GameDataFolder. Delete the Arena folder and level30. Then extract the zip into the edition folder, then run the install script. Then run Oni.

Leus · 06/08/09 16:06

Ah. Clever. Just do exactly what I was originally supposed to do, eh? Crafty, crafty. And it worked. Thanks.
