==GameDataFolder==
'''GameDataFolder''' (commonly called "GDF") is a subfolder of the main Oni folder. It holds the following:
(Default location on PC is '''C:\Program Files\Oni\GameDataFolder''')
*Oni's game data, in binary format (see [[OBD]] for more info)
*the level logic, in plain-text (in the IGMD subfolder; see [[BSL]] for more info)
*the intro and outro animated sequences, in the Bink video format


This is where all of Oni's "game data" resources are stored.
First we show the purpose of each file in this folder – but don't miss our helpful notes below this directory listing.
===Movie files in BINK format===
*'''intro.bik'''
*'''outro.bik'''

==Directory listing==
Check :
You should have all the files below in your GameDataFolder, though the movie files are optional (see note at bottom). The "PS2" column shows the numbers assigned to each file name on disc; the .raw and .sep file for each level are in subdirectories titled 20/ and 21/. Beside each set of level files, we list the subfolders of IGMD which hold the corresponding level logic. '''SPOILER WARNING''': The "Chapter" column links to summaries and analyses of Oni's storyline.
*[[OBD:Oni_Binary_Data | Oni Binary Data]] for more info the .dat and .raw files
 
*[[OSL:IGMD]] for more info on [[OSL:Scripts|scripts]] (.bsl files)

==Notes==
==="Missing" levels===
Players in 2001 were puzzled when they first installed Oni and looked inside GameDataFolder to find that there were strange gaps in the file numbering: specifically there's no level5, level7, level15, level16 or level17. There isn't something wrong with your installation: the game's content was reshuffled late in development and Bungie West apparently felt it would be too dangerous or disruptive to re-number the level files. The existing files tell a complete story from Chapter 1 to Chapter 14.
 
===level0_Final===
The level 0 data is only loaded once, when Oni starts.
 
===intro.bik, outro.bik===
*The movie files are not needed for Oni to run. You can thus rename or remove intro.bik to avoid the need to click through the movie.
 
*When the game is beaten and outro finishes playing, the game will quit. Sometimes players think that the game has crashed, but this is by design. Note that if you remove outro.bik, Oni will quit immediately after beating the game.
 
*A bug currently exists where the ending movie plays only its sound, with the screen remaining black. You will have to play outro.bik by double-clicking it if you want to watch it. See next point.
 
*Epic Games Tools, the makers of the Bink video format, offer [https://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm standalone apps] for all platforms if you want to watch the .bik files on their own. However ffmpeg also understands the Bink format, meaning that you can use [https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC] or another ffmpeg-based client to watch the movies.
 
===How Oni finds its GameDataFolder===
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.
 
The Mac Oni app follows the same search pattern for GameDataFolder/, but does not look for OniEngine/GameDataFolder/.
