 The Daodan DLL is a modification for Oni that hooks into the game engine and applies bug fixes and patches. It also replaces parts of the engine with its own code. The Daodan fixes many issues, including the famous "[[Blam|Blam!]]" error that occurs on modern Windows machines. It also adds new features such as support for extra screen resolutions (including many widescreen resolutions) and bonus cheat codes.

+==C-Daodan==
+This is the recommended version of the Daodan DLL. This is also the only version that supports windowed mode.
-==Installation Instructions==
+[http://mods.oni2.net/node/233 Download C-Daodan (binkw32.dll) and corresponding Oni.exe]
-#Before installation, it is important to know where your copy of Oni has been installed to. For most people, it is stored in "C:\Program Files\Oni" (My Computer -> Local Disk (C:) -> Program Files -> Oni). This folder should contain a "GameDataFolder" and "Oni" or "Oni.exe".
-#It is important that you use an "Oni.exe" that is compatible with Daodan. If you are using the FASM-Daodan, Oni will not start unless you have the correct EXE. If you are using the recommended version of C-Daodan, Oni will start, but most of the features of Daodan will not be present.
-#Back up your Oni.exe and binkw32.dll files by renaming them (e.g. "Oni-original.exe").
-#Place the newly-downloaded Oni.exe, binkw32.dll (and realbink.dll, if provided) in the folder with Oni.exe.
-==Testing==
+===Installation instructions===
-To test if you have done everything correctly, run "Oni.exe". Enter the pause (Diary) screen (F1 by default) and type "tellmetheversion"; if you get a result like "Daodan v.3.0", the DLL is working.
