Developer Mode is a bundle of features (a console, camera controls, and some debugging features) that was available via the '''thedayismine''' cheat code. Until 2006, it was believed that Developer Mode had been cut from retail versions of Oni; it had only been observed to work in the Mac beta 4 that was leaked around the time of Oni's beta testing. However, the this mode is actually present in ''all'' available versions of Oni (except PS2). It just needs to be unlocked.
Developer Mode is a bundle of features created by [[Bungie West]] to help them develop Oni -- a console, camera controls, and various debugging features -- that is available via the '''thedayismine''' cheat code. It was long believed that Developer Mode had been cut from retail versions of Oni; it had only been observed to work in the [[Mac beta]] that was leaked around the time of Oni's beta testing. However, the this mode is actually present in ''all'' available versions of Oni (except PS2). It just needs to be unlocked, as the community learned [[History_of_Oni_modding/The_tale_of_Dev_Mode|back in 2006]].


Below you will find download links, unlocking instructions, and finally an overview of the Developer Mode's features.

In Windows, you need to install the [[Daodan DLL]] to unlock Developer Mode. On the Mac, using the community-patched game application serves the same purpose; it can be found [[AE:OMNI|HERE]].

First, get a good hex editor. Ideally, it should allow you to search for sequences containing joker characters. One such editor for PC is [http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm XVI32]. Dunno for Mac.

Let's say cheats are enabled and the developer mode has been made available ''via'' the '''thedayismine''' cheatcode (or '''killmequick''' or '''x''' or whatever).

Just type the developer mode cheat and watch for the confirmation message.
Just type the Developer Mode cheat and watch for the confirmation message. However, you may not notice anything special when you get back to the game (although there should be occasional console messages appearing at the bottom-left).  
However, it is likely that you won't notice anything special when you get back to the game.
Below are a few quick ways to test the developer mode's functionality.
====Hotkeys====
The quickest way to tell whether it works at all, right after you get the confirmation message, is to exit the pausescreen; to press '''End'''. That should teleport you to where the camera is (usually back and up, possibly through walls and ceilings).


'''End''' is one of the many hotkeys available in Developer Mode. You can also try '''Enter'''. A full list is provided below.
The quickest way to tell whether Dev Mode definitely works, right after you get the confirmation message, is to exit the Diary screen and to press '''End'''. That should teleport you to where the camera is (usually back and up, possibly through walls and ceilings).


Here's another quick test, meant to see if the Control and Alt buttons work fine (on Mac, they should be replaced with "Apple" and "Option", respectively).
Here's another quick test, meant to see if the Control and Alt keys work fine (on Mac, use the Option key instead of Alt): Ctrl+Shift+U and Ctrl+Alt+U should both perform the "unstick" action; Konoko will shift forward by a small amount.
Ctrl+Shift+U and Ctrl+Alt+U should both perform the "unstick" action : the player makes a small no-clipping step forward (overriding collision).


====Console output====
===Console output===
In developer mode, Oni prints debug messages about ingame events along the bottom line of the screen. Past messages scroll up across the screen and fade. In some situations, messages don't fade (e.g. if character debugging is enabled).
In Developer Mode, Oni prints debug messages about in-game events along the bottom-left of the screen. Past messages scroll up across the screen and fade. In some situations, messages don't fade (e.g. if character debugging is enabled or you are currently using the console line).


The easiest way to check whether that output works at all is to press '''F8''' : the character class (skin) change is acknowledged with a console message.
The easiest way to check whether that output works at all is to press '''F8''': the character class change is acknowledged with a console message.


You can also run around one of the original levels with developer mode on : you're guaranteed to see debug messages dumped to the console output.
If you don't see anything, that means console output is unfortunately disabled in your version of Oni. If you're on PC retail, you may have applied [[Troubleshooting/Blam|Ian's patch]] (aka XP patch), which disables console output. On PC demo, both console output and console input are invisible (i.e. you can enter script commands, but you're "blindfolded").

===Console input===
:If you're on PC retail, you may have applied [[Troubleshooting/Blam|Ian's patch]] (aka XP patch), which disables console output.
By default, Oni auto-binds the "console" toggle to the key which on U.S. keyboards has a grave accent, <span style="font-size:200%; top:0.3em; position:relative">`</span>, in the lowercase position and a tilde, <span style="font-size:175%">~</span>, in the uppercase position. It is usually called the "tilde key" by users, and perhaps even elsewhere on this wiki; however, you would have to hold Shift to type a tilde, and the console is activated by just pressing the key without Shift, thus it is actually the "grave accent key" which activates the console. On non-U.S. keyboards, that key may not be recognized. Just add a line like "bind leftalt to console" to '''key_config.txt''' in your Oni folder and you'll be able to open the console with that key. In some cases, this bound key will not ''close'' the console; however, pressing the grave accent key, oddly enough, may work.
:On PC demo, both console output and console input are invisible (i.e. you can enter script commands, but you're "blindfolded"). No can do.
:Mac, console input is visible, output is invisible


====Console input====
===Usage===
By default, Oni auto-binds the "console" event to the "tilde" key ("~", usually located below Escape). On non-US keyboards, that key may not be recognized. Just add the line "bind leftalt to console" (or "bind leftoption to console" on Macs) to '''key_config.txt''' in your Oni folder and you'll be able to open the console with that key. You may have to then press "~" to close the console.
