What Are Scripts?

Scripts are the files that dictate the in-game processes in Oni, which include level logic, environment effects, as well as cutscenes. They are the *.bsl files inside the folder ...Oni/GameDataFolder/IMGD/. By editing scripts, you can alter how the game plays.



Editing Scripts

Scripts can be edited with and word-processing program, such as NotePad. They can be edited simpley by typing inside the file.

For information on compiling and editing scripts, see the Oni Scripting Language page.



Scripted Mods

Scripted Mods are great examples of editing scripts. They edit the *.bsl files to create interesting, and often amusing results. They can change everything from the fog, to how the characters and level interact. However, they cannot add characters or change the level layout, only its contents, as they are handled by the Binaries. Information on OBD: Oni Binary Data .

Probably the best specimens of Scripted Mods are the OTA: Oni Team Arena scripts. Based on an Idea for multiplayer Oni, they implement Oni's hand-to-hand and a scoring system much like Unreal Tournament.

Other Scripted Mods range from free-for-all arenas to objective based missions and enhancements of the original level.

Downloads of OTA Mods are available at the OTA page. Downloads for other scripts gathered here : Script Download
