The Anniversary Edition enhances a retail copy of Oni and is the result of years of research, work and discussion in the Oni fan community. The first official release of the Edition was made seven years after Oni's release, hence the original name of the project, "Seventh Anniversary Edition". The AE consists of:

A modding framework

that globalizes some game data so that you can mod more freely; it also introduces a package format that makes it easier to distribute mods.

A mod installer

that browses the Oni Mod Depot and allows you to selectively install only the mods that you want.

Core fixes to the game data

installed automatically to correct menu and cutscene glitches.

Patches for the game application

to correct bugs and add some new features, as well as unlock Developer Mode.

Modding tools

used for exporting/importing and intelligently patching game data.

More details on each element can be found in the Directory to the right.

This seventh release of the project is the "final" iteration in the sense that the project is now de-centralized and self-updating. Instead of making a whole new release of the project every year or so with updated tools, mods and installer, we now push updates to the individual components whenever they are ready.

Requirements

Besides a retail installation of Oni, the Anniversary Edition requires Java (but this is bundled with the AE for Windows), as well as .NET Framework in Windows and Mono on the Mac.

For Mac users: Mono, Java
For Windows users: .NET Framework 3.5

To install .NET Framework 3.5, type 'features' in the Windows menu, choose "Turn Windows features on or off", and configure the settings like this; you can download 3.5 here if you don't have it as an option.

Downloads

Here is the Setup app for the latest release, Anniversary Edition Seven.
Technical note: If your browser refuses to load one of the links below, it's because the browser is set to only load HTTPS pages, and the Mod Depot currently runs on HTTP. You can turn off the HTTPS-only setting in the browser or try another browser which doesn't enforce that requirement. We hope to fix this soon.

-[[Seven]] years after Oni's release, an improved version of Oni is underway.
-A framework has been created that allows users to mod their own copy of Oni.
+The '''Anniversary Edition''' enhances a retail copy of [[Oni]] and is the result of [[History of Oni modding|years of research, work and discussion]] in the Oni fan community. The first official release of the Edition was made [[seven]] years after Oni's release, hence the original name of the project, "Seventh Anniversary Edition". The AE consists of:
+*;A modding framework
+:that globalizes some game data so that you can mod more freely; it also introduces a package format that makes it easier to distribute mods.
+*;A mod installer
+:that browses the {{OMD}} and allows you to selectively install only the mods that you want.
+*;Core fixes to the game data
+:installed automatically to correct menu and cutscene glitches.
+*;Patches for the game application
+:to correct bugs and add some new features, as well as unlock [[Developer Mode]].
+*;Modding tools
+:used for exporting/importing and intelligently patching game data.
-We have also been developing a series of patches that upgrade Oni's content.
+More details on each element can be found in the Directory to the right.
-==Current Features==
+This seventh release of the project is the "final" iteration in the sense that the project is now de-centralized and self-updating. Instead of making a whole new release of the project every year or so with updated tools, mods and installer, we now push updates to the individual components whenever they are ready.
-Here are a few features that are at least partially done already. For a full list of<br>
-the changes the AE makes to Oni, see the "Full feature list" link on the right.
-*Character classes, textures and sounds made available in any level
-*A few semi-new weapons (Mutant Muro's telekinesis, WMC Lite, etc.)
-*More fluid hand-to-hand combat (fewer pauses, more vulnerability)
-*Upgraded AI
-'''For screenshots and video of our work, see the [[AE:Showcase]].'''
+==Requirements==
