Iritscen's page

Iritscen is one part Oni fan, one part general nerd, and one part obsessive-compulsive attention-deficient maniac. He also enjoys talking about himself in the third person (which he wants you to know is called "illeism"), programming as a hobbyist, dabbling in everything under the sun, and using Macs. He has also been, inexplicably enough, a sysop since October '08 and holds the title "Hapécat-in-chief".

Sites & Contact Info

The closest thing I have to a personal website is my space on Oni2.net, Iritscen's Place (not much to see yet).
I also administer the Mod Depot, a central storage place for Oni's mods (still stocking the shelves).

If you have a question or need some help, you can hit up my talk page or e-mail me at iritscen@yahoo.com.


Regular Sysop Tasks


Wiki To-Do List

  • Finish the plans for the Cat Tree, have Alloc install the Cat Tree extension, implement the tree
  • After cat tree is in place, take care of OniGalore:Templates
  • Document any templates that are currently lacking directions on how to use them
  • Add "Select all" button to Search page
  • Follow through on proposal in "Current events" for organizing modding-related pages
  • Localizing textual information and images on other oni2.net sites that are linked to from here
  • Designing enemy pages, starting with Tanker as pilot experimental page
  • Working on combat move pages such as Crescent Moon Kick
  • Putting BSL files into place such as BSL:Tutorial/airport1_level_logic.bsl
  • Finishing User:Iritscen/BlenderTutorial
  • Restore Sysop.js and the Common.js subpages after the wiki upgrade introduces the importScript() function
  • Puttering away at my ideas for an Oni sequel and an Oni prequel


Current Modding Projects

This is very much a work in progress, and it keeps getting new features. Basically a graphical front-end for OniSplit.
  • 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 Griffin and 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.
Current progress:
Polishing models and fixing UVs on Griffin and Motoko, getting HD textures for both.
After Motoko and Griffin, I plan to move on to either Muro or Konoko. Maybe Shinnie after that.
Tracing Lorraine's art with a vector app to produce large, clean-lined versions. Currently lives here, but finished pieces are mirrored to the wiki. Totally on hiatus at the moment due to my spending my time on other Oni projects. Soon to be moved to my oni2.net page to allow downloading of original vector files.


Future Notions for Oni Modding

  • Trying my hand at writing a user-friendly visual-oriented Oni modding tool, perhaps along the lines of OniTools
  • General re-texturing of Oni's environments at higher resolution
  • Lightly poly-modding other, less-important characters to make things look consistent with HD key models
  • Scripting new scenarios
  • Modeling a new character, animating new moves for them


My Userpage's Subpages

User:Iritscen/ConsoleFix it's a dirty trick, but it helped clean up the "Wanted pages" list;
long-term, I might implement a much more elegant solution
User:Iritscen/TestSpace for testing whatever's new to the wiki/new to me
User:Iritscen/BlenderTutorial as long as I can still stand to use Blender, this is something I should
write for the sake of others (particularly Mac users who can't run XSI Modding Tool)
User:Iritscen/MainPageTest an experiment in setting the daily image in different ways
User:Iritscen/CatTreeDraft working out how we'll organize the tree of categories
User:Iritscen/sig fooling around again, this time with a custom signature (not one I would use)
