The '''Daodan DLL''' is a patch for Oni for Windows that hooks into the game engine to fix bugs and add features. It does this by posing as '''binkw32.dll''', the library that Oni loads so that it can play the game's opening and ending videos. The Daodan fixes issues such as the famous "[[Blam|Blam!]]" error that occurs on modern machines. It also adds new features such as support for widescreen resolutions and bonus cheat codes. The Daodan DLL was created by [[User:SFeLi|SFeLi]] and then developed further by [[User:RossyMiles|RossyMiles]], [[User:Gumby|Gumby]] and [[User:Admin|Alloc]].

Note that you '''already have the Daodan DLL installed''' if you installed the [[Anniversary Edition]]. However there is a beta release of v4.2 created by RossyMiles which is available on [[CommPort#Discord|our Discord server]] (it's pinned under #modding-news, or you can search the server for "QPC" to find it more quickly). A fork of the DLL with many new features, created by Half-combine, is also pinned under #modding-news. You can read about the changes in these two versions of the Daodan DLL on the change log page.
