Level names in Oni are stored in the global resource file known as "level0_Final", so that the out-of-game loading dialog can display them. Somewhat surprisingly, the names of missing levels are present even in the public versions of Oni. Here they are:

The levels below 20 were intended as single-player levels, 30-35 were multiplayer maps, and the rest were test levels. For some of those levels, there are fragmentary scripts which can be found in the [[Big Blue Box]] release of Oni. If there was any info to be gleaned from those scripts, it is listed below in that level's section.
 


It appears that levels below 20 were intended as single-player levels, 30-35 were multiplayer maps, and the rest were test levels. For some of those levels, there are fragmentary scripts which can be found in the [[Big Blue Box]] release of Oni. If there was any info to be gleaned from those scripts, it is described in that level's section. Here are the missing levels alongside their presumed BSL folder names. Click the name to jump to that section below:

===Airport Part Deux===
===Airport Part Deux===
The presence of the '''Airport_II''' IGMD folder in [[Big Blue Box|BBB]] Oni explains why retail Oni contains an '''Airport''' and '''Airport_III''' folder but no "Airport_II". The scripts in this folder are very short and little of the level can be gleaned from them. However, a mention of the animation "KONOKOlev5_outro_run" allows us to pin down '''Airport_II''' as the missing level 5 in the sequence of levelx_Final folders in GameDataFolder. This is consistent with '''Airport''' being linked to level4_Final and '''Airport_III''' being linked to level6_Final. [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=14227 This post] by Chris Butcher indicates that there was an underground portion to the Airport which was removed.

===Obsolete, etc.===

This level, which would have been level7_Final, represents the gap between the end of the airport levels and the first TCTF HQ level. Since Bungie blanked the name of this level, we can only speculate on this level and the unnamed levels 15 and 17 (for 16, see below). However, Chris Butcher's comment above and Hardy's comment [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=19648 here] indicate that levels were originally planned according to an earlier version of the story, hence the gaps in numbering are mostly indicative of a change in plans, rather than of content actually being created and then cut.

The script for this level, found in the '''ats''' folder in [[Big Blue Box|BBB]] Oni's IGMD, shows that this was a test level for Mukade's teleportation (with a comment referencing the "[[wikipedia:Bamf|bamf]]" sound effect of comic book fame).
===2000 demo level===
The arena [[Credits|Steve Abeyta]] played in when he demoed MP in 2000 (see [[Multiplayer]] for a video of this demonstration). Looks like it could be BGI HQ, except that there's no similarities with the four screenshots in the BGI section above.

This is not the same side of the same room; probably both sides of that room. It is unknown what other rooms
<br>there are and where the overhead ramps are going.
<br>The ramp briefly flattens out before continuing to ascend, halfway through the room, which in these

Alex Okita remembered this as "Just a bunch of tubes"; "It was pretty big, lots of falling and dying, from what I remember".
<br>The cross-beams are also reminiscent of Construction Pit.
