- If you want an introduction to modding that starts from square one, you should read Modding Oni.
- If you want a more friendly introduction to each type of game data, you should start with XML.
The OBD namespace is devoted to documenting Oni's binary data (.dat/.raw[/.sep] files), as reverse-engineered by dedicated members of the fan community. Needless to say, this is a highly technical area of the wiki, and knowledge of topics such as hexadecimals, pointers, and endianness is a prerequisite.
This database's information has been used by modders in such projects as:
The knowledge documented here was also used to develop modding tools such as:
Directory
- Format of instance files (.dat files)
- Format of raw and separate files (.raw & .sep files)
- Database of Oni's resource types (ONCC, TRAM, etc.)
- Documentation of Oni's data types (integers, floats, etc.)

- ssg's Oni Stuff (first ever public database of resource types, and source for much of this wiki's OBD)
