A notable feature of the Japanese localization for Windows and Mac is that it comes with level0_Tools.dat/.raw, a component that is inaccessible from the shipping version of Oni and can only be used by a copy of the game application built in "Tool Mode". The other known instances of level0_Tools are found in the French, German, Italian and Spanish releases for the Mac and in Final Candidate 7 for Windows. Not counting the leaked FC7, Japanese Oni is the only publicly available instance of level0_Tools that was built for Windows. | |||
The | The level0_Tools in the European Mac localizations has had some of its labels and buttons translated to the target language in 23 of the 70 tool dialogs, apparently an accident on the part of the localizers since since "Shipping Mode" Oni cannot display them. By contrast, the Japanese level0_Tools is less localized; out of the 70 tool dialogs, only 18 are modified by the Japanese localizer, and 8 of those merely have had their "OK"/"Cancel" buttons replaced with "OK" (in romaji) and "キャンセル" ("cancel" in katakana). The copy of level0_Tools found in Final Candidate 7 is completely in English since it came directly from Bungie. | ||
Apart from the localization, the Japanese level0_Tools offers better quality TXMPs than the German release in 91 textures out of 373: DOORLOCK, DOORLOCK2, and all those with prefixes DOOR_AIR, DOOR_MP, DOOR_SB, _DOOR_AIR_, _DOOR_DR_, _DOOR_HA_, _DOOR_MP_, _DOOR_PW_, _DOOR_PW2_, _DOOR_RL_, _DOOR_SB_, _DOOR_TC_, _DOOR_TC2_, _DOOR_Z_, A_GARAGE_, AIR_DK_, CON_SB_ (uncompressed storage rather than DXT1). | Apart from the localization, the Japanese level0_Tools offers better quality TXMPs than the German release in 91 textures out of 373: DOORLOCK, DOORLOCK2, and all those with prefixes DOOR_AIR, DOOR_MP, DOOR_SB, _DOOR_AIR_, _DOOR_DR_, _DOOR_HA_, _DOOR_MP_, _DOOR_PW_, _DOOR_PW2_, _DOOR_RL_, _DOOR_SB_, _DOOR_TC_, _DOOR_TC2_, _DOOR_Z_, A_GARAGE_, AIR_DK_, CON_SB_ (uncompressed storage rather than DXT1). | ||

Typically a level will have a larger .dat file in the Japanese version because it contains more instances of some type or other. If the case of Japanese Oni, there are extra sounds (alternative takes and copies from other Oni versions, see [[#Alternative takes|BELOW]]) in level1_Final, level10_Final, and any level that features Ninjas or "ninjabots". There are also variations in the sharing of ONCP files (unnamed) between ONCCs (named). After removing the superfluous SNDDs and repacking with optimized ONCP sharing, the level .dat files have the same size as for English Oni (repacked as well). | Typically a level will have a larger .dat file in the Japanese version because it contains more instances of some type or other.

The ambient loops named '''city_amb*''' are cut at a different length than in the English version, sometimes significantly longer. Bungie West may have originally been using full-length samples from a sound library and later decided to cut them back after the localizer had received a copy of the game assets. The shorter sounds in the English version still loop perfectly and save on memory; some of them also cut out undesirable sounds such as individual cars and emergency vehicles passing by the listener, which would be disconcerting in a game world with no traffic on the road. | |||
