Anniversary Edition/To-do

AE Project

= done but not tested
= done and tested

	Task	Description
Pre-release
	Improve AE Installer	Add auto-download and update checks, etc. (see section below)
	Fix mini-Striker cameos	Globalization causes mini-Strikers from Dream Lab to invade all levels; bring over fix from Glass
	Fix bug with Dream Lab photos	The replaced flyby photos are not being found in level13_Final; can be solved by shipping the ONLV file
	Globalizing like 2010 AE?	Make sure globalization is working as intended
	Convert Globalize items to packages	Package up the tweaks and minor fixes and place on Depot:
		*VanillaBSL: Provide Win/Mac versions
		*Animation Interpolation
		*Doctor Fix
		*Chenille Fix
		*Bomber Fix
		*Glass (Animations/Characters, Particles) - join with Glass-Breaking Moves above as patch mod
		*Knockdowns - join with domino portion of Knockdown Revamp above as patch mod
		*TRAC Prep
		*Dashing Prep
		*ONCC Prep
		*Diary page fix, subtitle fix?, WMDD fixes?
		*Radio Saber
		*Level 3: AISA?
		*Level 4: Cars (which is 960, 9601, 9602?) - fixed UVs and added DeLorean
		*Level 13: OBANs; see bugs below
		*Level 18: BINACBJO?
	Update packages on Depot for AEI 2	List changes that need to be made here:
		*Move HD menu textures to HD Screens package (see OCF post)
		*Combine platform-specific mods where applicable
		*Reduce all nodes to one mod attachment
		*Incompatibility field -- for example, Exploding Barrel is incompatible with the mods listed below
		*Dependencies field -- e.g. 80211 requires 80210, and Hayate, Hanako, Grey Fury, Hammer, BGI Heavy Bot, BGI Ninja Bot, and SMP require 23900
	Make Char. Additives only impacts	Leave impacts under 23900 so they come after Samer's char. mods and add it as dependency to mods listed above
	Make ONCVs/ONVL from Char. Additives core	Include these files in core so Samer's characters will work out of the box
	Update Main Menu, fix HD Main Menu	Remove release date from SD and HD menu, add HD menu to HD Screens package
	Set up Daodan DLL package	Fix DaodanGL, make a core package
	Recommend any mods?	Offer a "five-star" package or recommended list of mods, to help user get started? Could be in form of PDF that is updated over time, or list in read-me, or a special list for the AEI of mods to d/l and install
	Think about demos	Should people need to own Oni to try the AE? A demo using the original 2/3 demo levels would be nice advertising
	Don't forget ModDB	Our little outpost on ModDB needs updating when the new release is ready; some mod videos might be good
Post-release
	Update wiki docs	Update documentation on Mac app (here, here and here), AE mods, other related articles and Daodan DLL
	Break out included 2010 AE pkg.s	Offer pkg.s on Depot, make Core, or remove them altogether

		*Knockdown Revamp - break into domino and disarm mods, as patch mods; see "bugs" section below
	Dashing AI cutscene fix	Fix the cutscenes where running characters now dash and go off the correct path (has EdT fixed some of these?); also, there was a report of the dash-run-dash bug still occurring; Gumby claimed to have fixed this on 6/18/10
	Raise femcop health in Upgraded ONCCs	We have multiple reports that Karen et al. have way too low health in this pkg
	Cutscene fix for Ch. 14	Prevent Konoko from appearing on the side of the screen before she falls from the plane (done?)
	BGI pistol fix	Does the pistol still claim it has no recoil?
	Brutal AI fix	Does the current version still break super moves? Version 1.1 should not
	Knockdown revamp	There's a report of one's throws hitting your own character, and also that uninstalling this mod does not revert things back to the way they were (see Samer's post)
	Fix switched Tanker super sounds	Supposedly some package is doing this, needs research (edit: see this post)
	What about Loser's mods?	Loser seems to want us to cut them all out; there are numerous issues reported for them, such as here
	HQ intro?	Supply the larger 25fps intro as an optional mod?
	Update GUIs	Make sure AE Tools and Vago GUI work with the latest AE
	Review Mac mods	We only need to support Intel Macs these days, so make sure that packages' use of textures and BSL reflects the capabilities of the Intel build
	What about non-package mods?	They will only become more overlooked now that users will have less reason to be browsing the Depot directly...
	Add VDG throw fix?	Make this package a core tweak package?
	Fix damage for TCTF back throw	Need specifics on this from Samer
	Add jewels hit fix	Vanilla jewels hit only works on Striker TRAC-based characters; add for Comguy-based TRACs except robots
	Add team fix for TCTF HQ civilians	Samer says he has a fix for TCTF attacking civvies

AE Installer

= partially done
= completely done

Working offline ( )

The AE(I)-folder has to be able to be moved to other machines without the need for internet access to use the AE. This includes mods downloaded to the AEI-folder being installable on those target machines.

Open folders in explorer ( )

Open package folders from mod list, open Edition folder from menu.

OniSplit and other tools from depot (Vago, AE Tools, Demo's GUI, Lukas Level Unlocker) ( )

Download/Update from depot. Do not ship with the AEI to always get the latest version.

Dependencies ( )

Give a warning when a mod's dependencies aren't selected for installation (ability to autoselect the required mods). Requires additions to the mod .cfgs.

Incompatibilities ( )

Warn user when he is selecting two mods that don't like each other. Requires additions to the mod .cfgs.

File conflicts ( )

Passively alert user when one mod will overwrite some/all of the files in another mod, maybe using flagged text in main window or background color in conflicting mod's lines in the mod list.

Mod Depot access ( )

List mods from Depot, download/install automatically.

Mod list order ( )

Order list alphabetically, by mod number, by category alphabetically.

Java check / download ( )

Check for Java 6 and provide installer if needed (Mac, Windows).

.NET check / download ( )

Check for installed .NET framework and if not installed download/install the most appropriate one (MS.NET, Mono, 32/64bit).

Correct or avoid problem with mod overload

Prevent user from checking too many mods, or else fix the bug in the AEI or OniSplit (or the OS?) that prevents too many .oni files or other resources from being installed at once.

Fix HasOnis bug ( )

When a package has HasOnis->No, it will not appear in the AEI. Do not check HasOnis at all (decide on files existing or not).

Check correct location on startup ( )

Installer/AE should reside within an installation folder of Oni.

Add support for oni-patch files ( )

Use OniSplit to extract vanilla .oni if .oni not found in installed mods; else highest-numbered mod's .oni is basis for patch.

Detect update to AEI and auto-update ( )

Check for newer build of AEI, download, and replace existing AEI with new build.
