That's good news, thanks for letting us know! Maybe the .NET update fixed an issue the AEInstaller was having, since it uses .NET to run OniSplit, the tool that repacks the game data for the AE. Or maybe it was the DX update that did the trick. It might have even been the change in your audio settings, since Oni only knows about two sound channels.
ohh, good to know, i was facing the problem with audio despite the setting being in two sound channels since i always use headphones, that tip was just in case anyone else who used speaker but switched over to headphones
Anyways Nostalgia mode on
]]>recently i updated a few things on my system, old version of DX diag 9 which came prebundled with Tomb raider undercover and DOT net 4.5 framework. i am not sure which one exactly did the trick, but now i can hear all the chatter.
In case anyone still has problem hearing audio, try tweaking the speaker settings to left and right channels only instead of 5.1
]]>Hmm, that doesn't sound right at all. The AE/ folder should always be at least twice as big as the vanilla Oni/ folder, because it's copying the vanilla data to AE/ as a base and then also creating a new GameDataFolder with that data + the mods you installed, plus the mods themselves occupy space separately in AE/AEInstaller/packages/. Here's an idea of what I mean, with typical sizes for the folders in a new AE installation:
Oni (640 MB at just this level, or 1.34 GB total counting AE/)
└─AE (700 MB)
├─AEInstaller (340 MB)
└─GameDataFolder (340 MB)These are about the minimum sizes you should see for each level of the hierarchy, or else something is wrong.
yea it amounts to that only, The total file size of my Oni folder is 1.35 GB (1,45,99,20,896 bytes)
]]>Oni (640 MB at just this level, or 1.34 GB total counting AE/)

]]>No, persist.dat only stores basic game settings like volume, game difficulty, the chosen resolution, and your progress in the game. If your game data* really totals 600 MB or more, not the 345 MB you originally stated, then you should have all the sound data.
*Referring here to the data in a vanilla (untouched) Oni installation. The AE folder tends to be much larger.
yea, Oni GameDataFolder is (609MB, 91 Files, 15 Folders) and the Full AE folder is 778MB (this can vary based on whoever downloads whichever mods i guess, in my case i have only 2 mods, konoko new moves, and Muro HD textures)
Edit: the 345MB is the GameDataFolder in X:\Oni\AE

]]>To be clear, windowed mode isn't dependent on your resolution, it's dependent on Oni being run with the "-noswitch" command or on the Daodan DLL being configured to run Oni in windowed mode. But after more testing, I can't get the sounds to drop on my Mac like they were dropping before. I guess we have to consider this bug "still under investigation".
Also, it's not that your computer might not be good enough for Oni — I just seem to recall someone else finding that Oni ran better when it was the first app to run after startup. One never knows how a modern system might throw off an old game.
P.S.: Delano's New Moves mod only adds one sound to the game, for the fwd+punch(JF) move with the electrical effect.
yea, like i said its not that i cant hear any sound, but the problem is i cant hear the talks, all combat sounds, some Background musics

]]>Rebooting has no effect as my config is way advanced for Oni. There is no difference in the File sizes either so i am still stumped as to why the sounds are not playing. i ll try the windowed mode and post result here.
Thanks once again
Edit: I changed the resolution of the game to 720x so it played in windowed mode as opposed to full screen resolution, the result still remains the same.. "No Sounds". however in the mods i have installed "New moves for konoko" by Delano762 and surprisingly i can hear those combat sounds...run_wind.bat has same issues..

There is no combat sounds, no Speech sounds, no running sound
The gamefolder inside Oni is 345MB containing of 91 files and 15 Folders, can you confirm if it tallies?
