| '''About Me'''<br> | | __NOTOC__ |
| Nostalgia-ridden Iritscen randomly decides to check out Oni one day, after getting back into Marathon and discovering the whole AlephOne deal has been going on for a decade without his knowing. He finds a community of enthusiastic people has reverse-engineered massive amounts of the game despite lacking any assistance from Bungie, etc. Seeing their valiant efforts, such as preparing to release a Seventh Anniversary Edition mod package that improves gameplay, he eagerly jumps in, trying to help while not exactly knowing what in the heck he's doing. This is his story.
| | Hello, I'm an Oni modder and a [[OniGalore:Administrators|sysop]] on this wiki. My personal web site with mostly Oni-related material is [https://iritscen.oni2.net HERE]. If you have a question or need some help, you can hit up my talk page, or e-mail me at [my user name]@yahoo.com. |

| '''Life of Iritscen'''<br> | | ==My Userspace's Subpages== |
| Starting in the 2nd week of June, going through maybe the 1st week of July, I will be in transition to a new life in a new state, under a new name. Just kidding about the last part. But this means that I will probably be unable to visit the forums at all during that time. I will still try to check the wiki occasionally, so if anyone needs me (hah!) my Talk page is the place to let me know. Also, I will continue to work on the Oni projects mentioned below during this time period, assuming being off the Net doesn't hamper that work.

|
| Update: Well, I'm back! I underestimated how time-consuming it is to move. I am still working through the process of furnishing my new place, but I am beginning to find time to return to Oni. Over the next few days I will resume my work in poly modding and gradually return to the community. Stay tuned!

| *Working on the Anniversary Edition Trailer (working draft v2 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdpExd3dojc HERE])
| | demonstration of the incomplete hover table feature |
| :News since last cut: got my first footage to incorporate, got "kanji streamers" working to recreate look of original 1999 trailer.

| *[[Anniversary Edition#Add Ons|Anniversary Edition Tools]] (Macintosh only) (with EdT)
| | [[/PageCountAudit]]<br> |
| :This is very much a work in progress, and it keeps getting new features. Basically a front-end for command-line tools built by others. Currently allows you avoid the command line while doing the following: installing the Edition, recompiling individual levels to incorporate mods, exporting TXMPs from Oni. Currently working on implementing support for modding TXMPs and 3D models.
| | a project to verify the accuracy of MediaWiki's article counts |

|
| *Improving textures and 3D models
| | [[/TestSpace]], [[/TestSpace2]], [[/TestSpace.js]]<br> |
| :My main focus lately has been improving the look of the key models (you know, the major characters). There are two basic issues with models that can exist. The first is a discrepancy between an in-game 3D model and the art as drawn by [[Lorraine]]. This is most noticeable with [[:Image:Poly Mods-Griffin Notes.png|Griffin]] and [[:Image:Poly Mods-Muro Notes.png|Muro]]. The second issue is simply a lack of polygons; the models were not bad in 2001 but can use some work to keep them looking decent in 2008.
| | for testing whatever's new to the wiki or to me |
|
| |
|
| :Currently working on:
| | [[/WikiFuture]]<br> |
| :Some finishing touches on Griffin's model, then ensuring that he has a texture that fits his new face. After that I finish up Motoko, who also needs a few finishing touches and a new texture.
| | keeps track of customizations to our MW installation}} |
|

| :After that, I plan to move on to either or Konoko. Maybe Shinnie after that.

| :Tracing Lorraine's art with a vector app to produce large, clean-lined versions. Currently lives [http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff178/Oni7thAnnArt/Tracework/ here], but finished pieces are mirrored to the wiki. Somewhat on hiatus at the moment due to my spending most of my free time on other Oni projects.
| |
| | |
| *Future notions (things I'd like to try some day)<br>
| |
| :- General re-texturing of Oni's environments at higher resolution
| |
| | |
| :- Poly-modding other, less-important characters to make things look consistent
| |
| | |
| :- Scripting new scenarios
| |
| | |
| :- Modeling a new character, animating new moves for them
| |
| | |
| :- Top secret stuff (hint, it involves assembly code)
