Welcome to ONI NI KANABO... (beta ^^)
This should be Oni/nikanabo/readme.txt
______________________________

Scripted mods are in the "bsl" folder
Binary mods are in the "dat" folder
Xdelta (binary patcher) is in "xdelta".

In every mod's folder you will find 
- a description of the mod (text file)
- one or more installers (shell scripts)
- possibly (later) descriptors for GUI
- other stuff (screenshots, whatever)

More generally, in every folder you'll 
find a text file telling you what there 
is there, and what you're supposed to do.
______________________________

Windows folks: just click the batch files.
Mac and Linux folks: terminal only, sorry.

On most UNIX platforms, the current directory 
AKA "." is not part of the PATH variable, so
"whatever.sh" won't work. Use "sh whatever.sh" 
or just "./whatever.sh"

Autocompletion should make things bearable.
A *portable* GUI is of course very welcome ^^
______________________________

New mod contributors are invited to pack the 
whole tree with their mod, like this:
nikanabo/bsl/mod_name/*.*
nikanabo/dat/mod_name/*.*
so users only have to unzip it into "Oni".
______________________________

BACKUPS : IMPORTANT

Before you install any mod, you'll have to 
run the proper backup script for your 
platform, namely:
	wbackup.bat	for Windows
	xbackup.sh	for Mac/Linux

The installer scripts provided will complain 
if the backup is missing (and do nothing).
______________________________

PERMISSIONS: NOTE TO EXPERTS ^^

Depending on your system, you may 
need to enable the execute permission 
manually for the script to run, e.g.: 

chmod +x xbackup.sh

From what I've seen, this is never needed, 
since non-read-only content seems to get 
"rwxr-xr-x" by default on Mac and Linux.
