By replacing existing WMDDs in the game with tool WMDDs (and supplying the alternate [[PSUI]] intended for Tool Mode), Oni was tricked into displaying the Tool Mode windows, and the resulting screenshots have been placed on the [[OBD]] pages of any resource types that had editor window(s). A complete collection of the images in one place is found [http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/bluebox/images/ here]. The labels on the elements in these windows were helpful in reverse-engineering the BINA formats.

Unfortunately the German localizers translated some of the Tool Mode dialogs into German along with everything else, not understanding that the files were superfluous to the game. Thus our first look at the editor UI was through the lens of how somewhat-clueless localizers believed the English labels should read in German. Eventually the original WMDDs were recovered from a final release candidate build of Oni for Windows, giving us the original English text for the dialogs.
Back when these WMDDs were discovered in German Oni, it was quickly realized that the localizers had translated some portions of the Tool Mode dialogs into German along with other game resources, not understanding that they were unused by the game. Thus our first look at the editor UI was through the lens of how somewhat-clueless localizers believed the English labels should read in German. Eventually an English-language set of WMDDs were recovered from a final release candidate build of Oni, giving us the original text for the dialogs.
