'''About Me'''<br>
__NOTOC__
Nostalgia-ridden Iritscen randomly decides to check out Oni one day, after getting back into Marathon and discovering the whole AlephOne deal has been going on for a decade without his knowing. He finds a community of enthusiastic people has reverse-engineered massive amounts of the game despite lacking any assistance from Bungie, etc. Seeing their valiant efforts, such as preparing to release a Seventh Anniversary Edition mod package that improves gameplay, he eagerly jumps in, trying to help while not exactly knowing what in the heck he's doing. This is his story.
Hello, I'm an Oni modder and a [[OniGalore:Administrators|sysop]] on this wiki. My personal web site with mostly Oni-related material is [https://iritscen.oni2.net HERE].


I am user '''#41''' on the wiki and my edit count as of July '08 is '''1,675''' (sad, isn't it?)

'''Life of Iritscen'''<br>
==My Userspace's Subpages==
Starting in the 2nd week of June, going through maybe the 1st week of July, I will be in transition to a new life in a new state, under a new name. Just kidding about the last part. But this means that I will probably be unable to visit the forums at all during that time. I will still try to check the wiki occasionally, so if anyone needs me (hah!) my Talk page is the place to let me know. Also, I will continue to work on the Oni projects mentioned below during this time period, assuming being off the Net doesn't hamper that work.

Update: Well, I'm back! I underestimated how time-consuming it is to move. I am still working through the process of furnishing my new place, but I am beginning to find time to return to Oni. Over the next few days I will resume my work in poly modding and gradually return to the community. Stay tuned!

*Watching over [[Special:Lonelypages|orphans]]
*The [[OBD]] pages lack a clear explanation of the purpose and use of each file type; probably need to add that at some point
*Designing enemy pages, starting with [[Tanker]] as pilot experimental page

*Putting BSL files into place such as [[BSL:Tutorial/airport1_level_logic.bsl]]
*Puttering away at my ideas for an [[Oni2:Slaves of War|Oni sequel]] and an [[Oni2:OniZero|Oni prequel]]
 
 
'''Other Oni-Related Projects'''<br>
*Working on the Anniversary Edition Trailer (working draft v2 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdpExd3dojc HERE])
:News since last cut: got my first footage to incorporate, got "kanji streamers" working to recreate look of original 1999 trailer.
 
*[[Anniversary Edition#Add Ons|Anniversary Edition Tools]] (Macintosh only) (with EdT)
:This is very much a work in progress, and it keeps getting new features. Basically a front-end for command-line tools built by others. Currently allows you avoid the command line while doing the following: installing the Edition, recompiling individual levels to incorporate mods, exporting TXMPs from Oni. Currently working on implementing support for modding TXMPs and 3D models.
 
*Improving textures and 3D models
:My main focus lately has been improving the look of the key models (you know, the major characters). There are two basic issues with models that can exist. The first is a discrepancy between an in-game 3D model and the art as drawn by [[Lorraine]]. This is most noticeable with [[:Image:Poly Mods-Griffin Notes.png|Griffin]] and [[:Image:Poly Mods-Muro Notes.png|Muro]]. The second issue is simply a lack of polygons; the models were not bad in 2001 but can use some work to keep them looking decent in 2008.
 
:Currently working on:
:Some finishing touches on Griffin's model, then ensuring that he has a texture that fits his new face. After that I finish up Motoko, who also needs a few finishing touches and a new texture.
 
:After that, I plan to move on to either  or Konoko. Maybe Shinnie after that.
 
*[[:Category:Project Konoko V|Project Konoko V]]
:Tracing Lorraine's art with a vector app to produce large, clean-lined versions. Currently lives [http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff178/Oni7thAnnArt/Tracework/ here], but finished pieces are mirrored to the wiki. Somewhat on hiatus at the moment due to my spending most of my free time on other Oni projects.
 
*Future notions (things I'd like to try some day)<br>
:- General re-texturing of Oni's environments at higher resolution
 
:- Poly-modding other, less-important characters to make things look consistent
 
:- Scripting new scenarios
 
:- Modeling a new character, animating new moves for them
 
:- Top secret stuff (hint, it involves assembly code)
