Epic Games Tools, the makers of the Bink video format, offer [http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm standalone apps] for all platforms if you want to watch the .bik files on their own. | The movie files are not needed for Oni to run. You can thus rename or move intro.bik out of GameDataFolder so Oni starts faster. Note that if you remove outro.bik, Oni will quit immediately after beating the game because it would normally play the outro and then quit. | ||
Epic Games Tools, the makers of the Bink video format, offer [http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm standalone apps] for all platforms if you want to watch the .bik files on their own.

In Windows, Oni's engine first looks | In Windows, Oni's engine first looks in the [[wp:Working directory|working directory]] (aka "."). If ".\GameDataFolder" is missing, Oni tries parent folders all the way up to the root (e.g., it looks for "C:\Program Files\Oni\GameDataFolder", then "C:\Program Files\GameDataFolder", then "C:\GameDataFolder"). As a last resort, it looks for ".\OniEngine\GameDataFolder" the same way. | ||
