''(Mac users can access those ''via'' a special prompt screen that pops up if you press SHIFT during Oni's startup.)''
''(In Oni for Mac OS 9, users could access these options ''via'' a special dialog that popped up if you pressed SHIFT during Oni's startup, but the OS X build does not seem to have this feature.)''


Only the ones in bold seem to have an effect so far

'''-noswitch''' is probably the most useful of the command-line arguments. If run in a low resolution like 640x480, Oni will take only a little portion of your screen, leaving the taskbar accessible, as well as other applications you may be running alongside Oni (useful for scripting, hex hacking, etc).

If run in a low resolution like 640x480, Oni will take only a little portion of your screen, leaving the taskbar accessible, as well as other applications you may be running alongside Oni (useful for scripting, hex hacking, etc).
In the Mac version, -noswitch can be specified in a dialog displayed at startup. On PC as well as with the OS X port, that dialog is unavailable. The command-line parameters are easy to use on PC (see script above); with the OS X port (a Cocoa application), it's a bit more complicated; see [http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?id=57 HERE] (troubleshooting thread on {{OCF}}).
 
The parameter is easy to pass to the Windows executable from the command line (see script above); with the OS X port (a Cocoa application), you have to pass the parameters to the actual binary, which is confusing for some users. Use the Terminal to navigate to the Oni folder, so you are at the same level as the game application, then type "Oni.app/Contents/MacOS/Oni -noswitch".
