 The same format was used for the tool files, named level0_Tools.dat/.raw/.sep, however the retail Oni game application does not load tool files; for the story behind the tool files, see [[Big Blue Box|HERE]].
-The level 0 files do not actually contain a level, but instances (resources) shared across all levels. Level 0 is loaded when the game starts, and never unloaded. All other level files, 1-19, are only loaded when their corresponding level starts, and unloaded when it ends. Since Oni can only load two levels at once -- level 0 and whatever level the player is in -- this leads to duplicated resources whenever a character class, sound effect, etc. occurs in more than one level. For instance, although there are only 2,380 unique sounds in the game, there are 7,386 sounds stored across all level data files.

Since Oni can only hold these two levels in memory concurrently, resources have to be duplicated on disk whenever a character class, sound effect, etc. occurs in more than one level.
