Daodan DLL

What it is

The Daodan DLL is a file called vtuneapi.dll, which is loaded at startup by all PC versions of Oni.

It allows one to hook Oni's runtime environment and patch the executable dynamically, at runtime.

The key features at the moment are a few bug fixes and a bunch of more or less revolutionary cheats.

The DLL fixes the common "Blam" at startup (caused by the overflow of the GL extensions buffer).

(it does not yet fix all critical overflows (e.g., Oni can not handle over 32 chars with an Nvidia GFX card)

The DLL does fix the pathfinding grid cache size, which used to cause crashes for some extreme scripts.

The DLL fixes a bug in the AI projectile awareness, however the actual projectile dodging is still flawed.

The DLL enables plugins (level#_Whatever.dat) which are a convenient complement to the Edition.

The DLL enables the support of extended ASCII (Latin languages and Cyrillic; not Chinese (yet?) )

The DLL enables DirectInput, making the key configuration layout-independent. Also fixes mouse wheel etc.

The DLL unlocks the thedayismine cheat and makes it available through "x" to save on typing.

The DLL makes cheats available even if the game has not been completed (which can't happen with the demo).

The DLL adds cheats like kangaroo, marypoppins, bulletproof, bigbadboss and tellmetheversion ^^
