'''Zukai''' is the most recent attempt at [[multiplayer]] for [[Oni]]. Zukai is in an alpha-like stage of development for macOS until it reaches v0.1, at which point it will be ported to Windows, and development will continue on both platforms. It currently comes in the form of a bundle called '''Daodan.plugin''' and an Oni [[AE:Plugins|level plugin]] called '''level0_Zukai''' with supplemental resources. | '''Zukai''' is the most recent attempt at [[multiplayer]] for [[Oni]].

Its usage in this project is based on the expression ''Ningyō Zukai'' ("Puppet Master") in [[Ghost in the Shell]], though translations of the word ''zukai'' alone range from "messenger" to "operator" to "familiar spirit" to "trainer". The icon for the project is based on the ''kanji'' for another word for puppetry, ''ayatsuri'' (操り). | ||

*Some hosts are plagued by the macOS dialog that says "Do you want the application 'Oni' to accept incoming network connections?" each time someone tries to join their game. To turn this off, you should add this Oni application to your Firewall exceptions (System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options... > '+' button). Sometimes this will not work, in which case you need to open Terminal and use this command, remembering to supply the correct path to your Oni application (your administrator password will be requested): | *Some hosts are plagued by the macOS dialog that says "Do you want the application 'Oni' to accept incoming network connections?" each time someone tries to join their game.

*If the performance of an Internet game seems poor, look at the ping between you and other players. Zukai displays ping on the scoreboard when you press the mp_score button (see "Bindable actions" section), but if you want more rigorous measurement of the connection between yourself and another player, bring up Spotlight in macOS and start typing "Network Utility". When the Utility appears, open it and use the Ping tab to test the connection between you and them. The most important numbers in the final statistics, once pinging is done, are the packet loss, which should be 0-1%, the average ping ("round-trip avg", the third-to-last number), and jitter ("stddev", the last number), which should be less than 25% of the average ping. | *If the performance of an Internet game seems poor, look at the ping between you and other players.
