10. Oni isn't ready to run until we patch it with the Daodan DLL. Right-click the game again and choose "Browse files". You'll find yourself in the Linux file manager looking at a folder probably called "oni". Enter it and drill down to Program Files/Oni/, where the game EXE and GameDataFolder reside. Now that you see the directory where the Daodan DLL needs to go, visit the [[Daodan DLL]] page and follow the instructions there for manual installation.

4. Oni should install without problems. When GLSetup runs and offers to install OpenGL, make sure to say '''"No"'''. Creating a desktop shortcut is also pointless because you will need to create your own shortcut that uses Wine (see step E). When the installer closes, you can eject the Oni CD-ROM or un-mount the disk image. | 4. Oni should install without problems.

The game needs to be patched next, so choose your path below: D1, D2 or D3 (they are inter-compatible, so you can both patch your base install of Oni with the Daodan DLL or OniX and also install the AE on top of the base install to get a second copy of the game which is patched and also modded). | ||

The actual patch is the Daodan DLL, an independent fan creation which the AE automatically installs. Go to the [[Daodan DLL]] article and follow the manual installation instructions, substituting the standard path given there for Oni (C:\Program Files\Oni\) with the one you picked in the installer in step C3. | ||

If you're not looking for extra features and just want to run Oni on your modern PC, OniX is a solid choice. Download the ZIP from the [[OniX]] page, place the files in your Oni directory, open your terminal app and switch to the Oni directory, and run the following command to perform a one-time conversion of the game data: | |||
: <code>wine cmd.exe /c GameDataConvert.bat</code> | |||

This depends on which patch you installed. | |||
1. If you installed the AE, you can launch the game through the AE Installer, which you would launch using the process in D3(b). However this takes longer than directly launching AE Oni as seen in step 2, so there's no advantage to this if you aren't in the AE Installer to change your mod loadout. | |||
2. If you installed the Daodan DLL or just don't want to launch Oni through the AE Installer, open a Linux terminal, export the WinXP prefix, navigate to the folder with the patched Oni.exe file, and launch it via Wine: | |||
: <code>export WINEPREFIX=/full/path/to/prefix</code> | : <code>export WINEPREFIX=/full/path/to/prefix</code> | ||
: <code>cd /full/path/to/folder/with | : <code>cd /full/path/to/folder/with/Oni</code> | ||

: <code>cd /full/path/to/folder/with/Oni</code> | |||
: <code>wine OniX.exe</code> | |||
As a shortcut, you can place the relevant launch commands into a shell script and then create a desktop file which executes the script (make sure to set both the .sh and .desktop files as executable). | |||
