Here are some ongoing projects, and ideas for projects, on the wiki. Whatever in this list looks interesting to you, feel free to tackle it, even if you only have a little time here and there. However, if you are leaving a project half-done until you can resume it, please note this under the item in the list. Thanks for whatever you can do to contribute. | |||

Let's expand on the [[PS2 vs PC|documentation of the PS2 version]], including how it differs from Win/Mac Oni. Besides gameplay or content differences, we should also check the game data for unexpected resources. First we'll probably need an [[OBD:PS2]] page for documenting the data format; material on the binary data that is currently on the preceding page will need to be moved there and expanded upon. | |||

If you have some hacking skills, please look at [[Talk:Oni 2 (Angel Studios)]] and [[OBD:Oni2AS]] to see if you can answer any outstanding questions or contribute new information. | |||

==BSL documentation== | |||
The goal is to replace the [[BSL:Functions]] and [[BSL:Variables]] pages with a more organized, sortable and readable system: | |||
# A single, master list of all functions and variables at [[BSL:List of built-in commands]] ("BSL:List" is a shortcut that redirects there). No longer will we have to browse two pages at once when we're trying to find a command but don't remember if it's a variable or function. The list is sortable by name, group, kind (function or variable), and platform availability, but does not contain any other info on the commands. It's just intended as a quick reference. You can click the group name for any command to go to the grouped page that discusses it in the context of related commands. | # A single, master list of all functions and variables at [[BSL:List of built-in commands]] ("BSL:List" is a shortcut that redirects there).

This revamp of the BSL docs was starting to be built on a system that I (Iritscen) hacked into the wiki, but it's too rickety and clumsy. The proper approach to interlinked documentation that reads from the same central pool of data would be the [[mw:Extension:Cargo|Cargo]] extension, if we can get it installed here. | |||

Some fans use the wiki to write sequels, prequels, interquels (what may have happened to Konoko in the time gaps between the original chapters, e.g., between Chapter 12 and Chapter 13) or even paraquels (e.g., what was happening on the Syndicate side during Oni?). You can then list your work [[Oni2|HERE]]. Just be aware of the [[OniGalore:Copyrights|rights issues]] | Some fans use the wiki to write sequels, prequels, interquels (what may have happened to Konoko in the time gaps between the original chapters, e.g., between Chapter 12 and Chapter 13) or even paraquels (e.g., what was happening on the Syndicate side during Oni?).

Also, plagiarism is not nice, but "Oni 2" can still be influenced by anime/cyberpunk/other references. See [[:Category:Oni 2 influences|HERE]] to review the influences so far, elaborate on them some more, or point out new ones. | ||
