- Object Collection
- The collection's header structure (first 16 bytes) and collection layout is common to all 16 OBJC types.
- A collection consists of a variable number of objects, the size of which can also vary.
- The size (in bytes) of the next object is announced by the field immediately preceding it (long, 4 bytes)
- The total size to the end of the collection is announced in the header.
- Blue Box Beta "revelations"
- A German Mac Beta version was released as part of a compilation of old Mac games.
- The version contained extra WMDD files, part of Oni's developer GUI.
- Supposedly it allowed developers to edit OBJC files while running the game.
- HERE is the additional information provided by those menus about the structure of a few OBJC types.
