'''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].


I am user '''#41''' on the wiki and my edit count as of August '08 is '''1,806''', which is 18% of all the edits on the wiki (sad, isn't it?)

'''Current Projects in Wiki'''<br>
==Wiki Stats==
*Researching [[Special:Unusedimages|unused images]] to see where they should go (or if they need deletion)
*Herding [[Special:Categories|cats]]
*Categorizing [[Special:Uncategorizedimages|uncategorized images]]
*Localizing textual information on other oni2.net sites that is linked to from here
*Filling in [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Pages]] (or deleting redlinks)

*Watching over [[Special:Lonelypages|orphans]]
*The [[OBD]] pages lack a clear explanation of the purpose and use of each file type; probably need to add that at some point
*Designing enemy pages, starting with [[Tanker]] as pilot experimental page
*Finishing the [[Oni (folder)]] pages so we can show people what their install should look like (Mac & Windows, before Edition & after Edition, before first run & after first run)
*Reconsider wisdom of subpages (the slash-kind, not the colon-kind)
*Organizing the Comics pages/images
*Working on combat move pages such as [[Crescent Moon Kick]]
*Putting BSL files into place such as [[BSL:Tutorial/airport1_level_logic.bsl]]
*Finishing [[User:Iritscen/BlenderTutorial]]
*Puttering away at my ideas for an [[Oni2:Slaves of War|Oni sequel]] and an [[Oni2:OniZero|Oni prequel]]
 
 
'''Other Current Oni-Related Projects'''<br>
*Working on the Anniversary Edition Trailer (draft v4 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmBOh9KHZXM HERE], next draft will be on [http://iritscen.oni2.net my Oni2 page])
:News since last cut: got LOTS of footage to incorporate; now following [[AE:Trailer|geyser's guidelines]] as best I can
 
*[[AE:Anniversary Edition Tools]] (Macintosh only) (by EdT)
:This is very much a work in progress, and it keeps getting new features. Basically a graphical front-end for OniSplit.
 
*Improving textures and 3D models
: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.
 
:Current progress:
:Finishing touches on Griffin and Motoko, new textures for both.
 
:After that, I plan to move on to either Muro or Konoko. Maybe Shinnie after that.
 
*[[:Category:Project Konoko V|Project Konoko V]]
: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. Soon to be moved [http://iritscen.oni2.net/pkv/ here].
 
'''Future Ideas for Oni Work'''<br>
:- Trying my hand at writing a user-friendly visual-oriented Oni modding tool, perhaps along the lines of [[OniTools]]
 
:- 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)
