All of Oni's files will be found in '''C:\Program Files\Oni''' on Windows, and wherever you dragged the folder to on the Mac. The name of the folder does not have to be "Oni" and the Oni application can be renamed, too, but it is not recommended (some community tools expect the app to be called by its original name). Look at [[Oni_(folder)|THIS PAGE]] for a listing of the files you should have and a description of what they do. | All of Oni's files will be found in '''C:\Program Files\Oni''' on Windows, and wherever you dragged the folder to on the Mac.

#Oni does not create any important registry entries, so an installation of Oni is essentially a copy of the Oni folder; this makes it easy to back up Oni before experimenting with it (hint, hint!). | #Oni does not create any important registry entries, so an installation of Oni is essentially a copy of the Oni folder; this makes it easy to back up Oni before experimenting with it (hint, hint!). | ||
#Retail versions of Oni typically check for the installation CD. You can get rid of the CD check [[Customizing#CD_check|with a custom patch]] or, better, by using the Daodan DLL (see "Patches", below). Otherwise, you need to have an Oni CD in the drive to play (any CD will do as long as its volume name is "ONI"). | #Retail versions of Oni typically check for the installation CD.

#If Oni.exe is opened by double-clicking it or its shortcut, it first looks for the GameDataFolder in the same directory as the EXE. If Oni.exe is launched from the command line, it first looks for the "GDF" in the directory of the command or .bat that called it. Wherever it starts looking, Oni will also look for a folder in that directory called "OniEngine" and look inside there too for a GameDataFolder. If neither location contains the GDF, Oni checks the parent directory, all the way up to C:\ if necessary, looking for the GDF (or an OniEngine folder with the GDF inside) at each level. | #If Oni.exe is opened by double-clicking it or its shortcut, it first looks for the GameDataFolder in the same directory as the EXE.
