*Categorize our [[:Category:Media|images]] of the different enemy classes into the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Factions]].

==PlayStation 2 port== | |||
The community has always tended to overlook the PlayStation 2 port of the game, for fairly obvious reasons -- it doesn't play as well, and it's impractical to mod a disc-based console game. Nevertheless, we ought to have a page like [[PS2 vs PC]], modeled on [[PC vs Mac]], which explains the differences in PS2 Oni from Win/Mac Oni. We should also devote at least a tiny amount of research to the contents of the game data. Might some unexpected resources be in there? First we need to know how to read the game data. Based on a cursory examination, resources were moved around and re-packed, but one would expect that the basic binary format of the tags has not changed. Thus, it would be nice to have a page like [[OBD:PS2]] that gives at least a high-level view of the binary data (e.g., how the .dat files are now packed). | |||
