Oni engine patches (Mac PPC)

For the full history of the Mac builds of Oni, see here. For information on all patches to Windows and Mac Oni, see the Patches category.

From 2001 through 2003, The Omni Group released new builds of the Oni application for PowerPC Macs running Mac OS X. The main purpose of these builds was to improve the game's compatibility with OS X. Certain changes from Bungie's original Mac build of Oni were made intentionally or accidentally, but the purpose of the page below is to document additional hex patches which fans made to the game application to the last Omni build in the years after it came out in 2003. Later on, when Macs were transitioning to Intel, Feral Interactive released a native Intel build of Oni (see FERAL) with many changes that were requested by fans or that were first made to Windows Oni with the Daodan DLL.

Known Issues

• While playing in Windowed mode, the game and computer cursor are not synced, so one can click outside the game window and disrupt the game. Workaround: set the game resolution to the display resolution (or as close as possible) to minimize the disruption.
• In Dev Mode, the numpad number keys 0-9 are not accessible. Thus the default NumPad keys to move the camera will not work. Workaround: in the key_config.txt file, bind other keys to the camera commands.
• In Dev Mode, when entering commands in the console (accessed with the tilde (~) key), the Shift key will not work with the letters a-z, therefore commands requiring uppercase letters cannot be entered. No known workaround while using the console, but the commands that require uppercase letters can be run by entering them in BSL scripts.
