As in the retail Mac application, access to Developer Mode and many BSL functions had been removed, but the game data had two very unusual features: the level0_Tools files, and some scripts for levels that were never released. It also uses the Windows versions of the familiar level scripts.

The application can not actually use these tools in-game (in fact, the startup log explicitly records that Oni skips "tool files" such as this one), but the function of the tool files was determined from examining their resources. If you're curious, you can download level0_Tools [http://geyser.oni2.net/edition/plugins/level0_Tools.zip here]. [[OniSplit]] can be used to extract the data into individual resources. level0_Tools contains: | ||
