When Oni launches, Options is the third button on the Main Menu. But after you load a game, this button is replaced with '''Resume''' when you return to the Main Menu by hitting Esc. However, the [[Daodan DLL]] and [[AE:FERAL|Mac Intel build]] make the Options button accessible while the game is paused. This is where you change or toggle: | |||

:Fun trivia: mouse inversion was implemented backwards. If the box is checked, moving the mouse up makes you look ''up''... that's ''non''-inverted aiming. This is fixed by the [[AE]]. | |||

== | ==CD check== | ||
Some versions of Oni for Windows have been known to require the game CD-ROM in the drive (or at least some CD named "ONI" ;-), but the app distributed with the standard U.S. release does not perform that CD check. The app is found [http://mods.oni2.net/node/243 here]. | |||

==Command-line arguments== | |||
You can run Oni from your system's command prompt rather than clicking on the automatically generated shortcut. This enables you to use a number of options that are otherwise unavailable. Only the ones in bold seem to be useful. | You can run Oni from your system's command prompt rather than clicking on the automatically generated shortcut.

'''-noswitch''' is probably the most useful of the command-line arguments. | '''-noswitch''' is probably the most useful of the command-line arguments. When launched with this argument, Oni stays in a window in the top-left corner (the Daodan DLL and Mac Intel builds center the window). The window size is the resolution specified in Oni's Options menu. Thus, if Oni is set to run in a low resolution like 640x480, the game will take only a portion of your screen, leaving the taskbar/Dock accessible, as well as other applications you may be running alongside Oni (very useful when modding). | ||
The parameter is easy to pass to the Windows executable from the command line (see script above); with the Mac OS X app, you have to pass the parameters to the actual binary, which confuses some users. In the Terminal, instead of "Oni.exe -noswitch", you would type "Oni.app/Contents/MacOS/Oni -noswitch". | The parameter is easy to pass to the Windows executable from the command line (see script above); with the Mac OS X app, you have to pass the parameters to the actual binary, which confuses some users.
