The most visible difference | The most visible difference in vanilla retail Oni is the presence of .sep files in the [[GameDataFolder]] of Mac Oni and the Windows Oni demo. This and other changes were made either for general optimization or to meet some limitation on the Mac side. Due to the fact that Mac Oni [[History of Mac Oni|was finished after]] Windows retail Oni but before the Windows demo was made, some changes made for Mac Oni carried over to the Windows demo. (This addition of .sep files was also carried into [[OniX]].) To illustrate what sort of level data files you'll find in the GameDataFolder: | ||

[[OniX]] is currently Windows-only, though it will come to Macs in the future. OniX is not currently more functional than the last build of Oni for Macs (see below), but at least it runs on modern Windows machines, which sadly Mac users cannot say about the Intel Mac build since 32-bit support was dropped from macOS in 2019. | |||
