OnK was a step up, using binary delta patches to avoid the legal and other difficulties involved in distributing Oni's game data. BIP was a nice idea, but extremely limited due to the lack of tools at the time players had to download whole modded game data files (.dat/.raw) in order to play it. Its roots go back further than that, though, to Oni ni Kanabo in 2006, and even further back to the Binary Improvement Project in 2005. The AE started life as the Seventh Anniversary Edition back in 2007 when its creator, geyser, decided to release it on the seventh anniversary of Oni's release (January 2008). Packages that you downloaded or made for it can be copied to AE/AEInstaller/packages/ and will work as-is with the new AE Installer (but you might want to check first whether there is a newer version of the package offered for download within the new AEI).
If you previously installed the 2010-05 release of the Edition, you can leave it where it is in Edition/. * XML patching now supported to allow greater compatibility between mods * Package dependencies and incompatibilities the user will be notified if one package requires, or is not compatible with, another package * Full support for script mods for the first time * Modding tools can also be packaged so that the AEI can offer them for download * Packages can now support both Windows and Mac * Auto-update system (Internet connection required)
ONI WINDOWS 10 ZIP FILE
The old format will still work with the AEI but the new format supports niceties like bi-platform support, dependencies, tool packages, and XML patching!ġ) Download the file found on the Depot page linked to above.Ģb) Mac: Extract the contents of the zip file anywhere and run.ģ) Just follow the instructions that Setup gives!
ONI WINDOWS 10 MOD
The most exciting thing about this new release is that you will be notified of available updates whenever you open the AEI instead of having to remember to check a web page to see if a mod or patch has been updated.
In fact, it can go alongside it, because this AE goes in an "AE/" folder, not "Edition/". This AE is not an update to past Editions it replaces anything you had installed before. The original release of Oni from 2001 does not run on modern computers, but once the AE is installed and has downloaded its patches, you can pick up right where you left off kicking Syndicate butt! The AE requires a retail copy of Oni for now, but if enough people express interest, maybe a version for the Oni demo can be released later.
ONI WINDOWS 10 INSTALL
It makes it easier to install people's mods, create your own, and it keeps Oni up-to-date with patches. What is the Anniversary Edition ("AE")? Simply put, it is a mod installer (the "AEI"), the latest patches, and a framework for modding Oni. NET 2.0 or later (download 2.0 for x86 or 圆4) (Mac only) Java installation ( download there's one included with the Windows AE installer) The New AE Installer by Alloc (click HERE for more detailed documentation than what's in this post): This thread is just for discussion of the AE Installer, modding framework, and the core packages which are found under the Installer's "Mods>Show core packages" menu. The final version of the community modding framework, the Anniversary Edition, is here! Please note that if you have an issue with any mod that you choose to install with the AE Installer, those questions and bug reports should be placed in their own thread devoted to that mod in the Modifications sub-forum.
