Scripted mods are great examples of what can be achieved simply by editing text files. They replace or add to Oni's .bsl files to spice up the gameplay and provide a more exciting experience to those who have finished the game. However, they can only change the way that game data is used; adding new characters or changing the layout of a level, for instance, would require editing the actual [[OBD|game data]]. When new levels are created for Oni, these naturally require new scripts to be written from scratch to take advantage of the new game assets.

One ambitious example of a scripted mod is [[AE:OTA|Oni Team Arena]]. Based on the desire for a [[multiplayer]] mode in Oni, and inspired by Unreal Tournament, OTA augments Oni's hand-to-hand combat and gunplay with a scoring system much like Unreal Tournament's Deathmatch mode. Other scripted mods range from free-for-all arenas to objective-based missions and enhancements of the original levels. Scripted mods can be found [http://mods.oni2.net/mods/Script here], [http://your-mom.oni2.net/Downloads.htm here] and [http://script10000.oni2.net/scripts.html here]. New levels, with their own BSL files, can be found [http://mods.oni2.net/mods/New%20Level here] (mod packages found on the Mod Depot are meant to be installed through the [[AE]]).
