Daodan DLL: Difference between revisions

The '''Daodan DLL''' is a patch for Oni for Windows that hooks into the game engine to fix bugs, enable [[Developer Mode]], and add features. It does this by posing as '''binkw32.dll''', the library that Oni loads in order to play the game's opening and ending videos. The Daodan DLL fixes the famous [[Blam|Blam! error]] that occurs when Oni launches on modern PCs. It also adds new features such as support for widescreen resolutions and bonus cheat codes. The Daodan DLL was created by [[User:SFeLi|SFeLi]] and then developed further by [[User:RossyMiles|RossyMiles]], [[User:Gumby|Gumby]], [[User:Admin|Alloc]] and Half-combine.

'''You already have the Daodan DLL if you installed the [[Anniversary Edition]]. However there is a newer beta release which is available from the download link below. The "FPSDaodan" fork with many new features, created by Half-combine, is also included.''' You can read about the changes in these two versions of the Daodan DLL on the change log page.

2. Find where your copy of Oni has been installed on your hard drive; the default location is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Oni\". This folder should contain GameDataFolder and Oni.exe (just called "Oni" if you have file extensions hidden). Back up this Oni.exe by renaming it (e.g. "Oni-original.exe").

3. Place the newly-downloaded Oni.exe into the Oni\ folder, then pick which fork you want to use and copy the files from that folder into Oni\ as well: binkw32.dll, realbink.dll, and assorted files. When prompted, overwrite the existing binkw32.dll file; if this fails, you'll need to grant yourself write privileges over the existing binkw32.dll in the Oni folder using the typical method for setting file/folder permissions in your OS<!--This part is written to be OS-agnostic because Linux users are linked to these instructions from [[Playing in Linux]]-->, then try again.
