In 2011, Feral Interactive [http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=31710#p31710 released a beta] for an Intel build for Mac Oni on the Oni Central Forum. Per fan requests, they included a number of patches that were either made by hex edits to the previous PPC build (documented [[AE:OMNI|here]]), wished for, or made to Windows Oni by the [[Daodan DLL]]. These changes are listed below.
Starting in 2011, Feral Interactive began releasing new builds of the Oni application for Intel Macs. The main purpose of these builds was simply maintenance; all previous versions of the game application were built for PowerPC-based Macs, so an Intel-native build was needed for modern Intel-based Macs. However, the builds from Feral also include a number of improvements, including some that fans first made to the Omni Group PPC build using hex editing (see [[OMNI]]), some changes that were requested by fans, and some patches that were first made to Windows Oni (see [[Daodan DLL]]).


==Download==
==Download==
http://support.feralinteractive.com/autoupdate/Oni/Oni1.1b5.dmg -- Released April 5, 2011.
If you have installed the [[Anniversary Edition]], then you will already have the latest build of Oni, but here are direct download links that do not require the AE. When the latest Oni build is installed through the AE, the higher-quality intro/outro movies are in a separate optional mod package, but in the direct download below they are bundled inside Oni.app and will be moved into the [[GDF]] when Oni is first launched, hence the size of the application.
 
Download and unzip the file linked to below, then follow the instructions in the read-me for getting the app to run, and then place the Oni application into your retail installation of Oni.
*[http://mods.oni2.net/node/320 Oni 1.2.1] (for Mac OS X 10.7 through macOS 10.14) -- Released Dec. 2015
 
(An archived release of [http://mods.oni2.net/node/319 Oni 1.1.1] is available for Mac OS X 10.6.)


==Known issues==
==Known issues==
*While playing in Windowed mode, the game and computer cursor are not synced, so one can click outside the game window and disrupt the game. Workaround: set the game resolution to the display resolution (or as close as possible) to minimize the disruption.
*The app is unsigned, so you must follow the instructions in the read-me to get Oni to run properly.
*Input is sometimes momentarily dropped (a mouse click is ignored, or a button being held down is let up for a moment).
*Sound effects occasionally drop.
*Foreign characters found in some localizations of the game's text will not display.
*Movie-playing doesn't work below OS X 10.9.
*After quitting Oni, sometimes the mouse cursor is frozen in the middle of the screen until you click once.
 
==Changes from Bungie build==
Below we list the changes as of Oni 1.2.1 that have been made to the game application since the original release of Oni in 2001, and whether these changes have also been made in Windows.
 
===Behavior===
{| class="wikitable"

|Enabled in Windows through Daodan DLL
|-

===BSL===
Mac Oni should now have parity with Windows Oni's [[BSL]]; any command available in Windows Oni should work on Macs too.

==Changes from The Omni Group build==
The Omni Group's builds of Oni for PPC Macs from 2001 to 2003 introduced certain behaviors and bugs which were not present in Bungie's original PPC Mac build of Oni from 2001. Changes that the Feral build has made to Omni's version of the game, not Bungie's, are as follows:
*Full-screen mode should now use Oni's gamma setting.
*In-game music and looping sounds such as automatic weapons fire no longer continue playing while game is paused on Main Menu.
<!--*Saving of GameDataFolder location in global preferences has been removed to allow multiple Oni installations on hard drive.-->
*Greatly improved windowed mode behavior.
*Expanded menu of display resolution choices.
*Developer Mode console allows upper-case letters to be typed.

Latest revision as of 19:36, 2 July 2022

For the history of the Mac builds of Oni, see here. For information on the patches to Windows Oni and other Mac versions of Oni, see the Patches category.
This is the game app for 32-bit Intel Macs. It does not run on versions of macOS after 10.14 because support for 32-bit applications was dropped in 10.15.

Starting in 2011, Feral Interactive began releasing new builds of the Oni application for Intel Macs. The main purpose of these builds was simply maintenance; all previous versions of the game application were built for PowerPC-based Macs, so an Intel-native build was needed for modern Intel-based Macs. However, the builds from Feral also include a number of improvements, including some that fans first made to the Omni Group PPC build using hex editing (see OMNI), some changes that were requested by fans, and some patches that were first made to Windows Oni (see Daodan DLL).

Download

If you have installed the Anniversary Edition, then you will already have the latest build of Oni, but here are direct download links that do not require the AE. When the latest Oni build is installed through the AE, the higher-quality intro/outro movies are in a separate optional mod package, but in the direct download below they are bundled inside Oni.app and will be moved into the GDF when Oni is first launched, hence the size of the application.

Download and unzip the file linked to below, then follow the instructions in the read-me for getting the app to run, and then place the Oni application into your retail installation of Oni.

  • Oni 1.2.1 (for Mac OS X 10.7 through macOS 10.14) -- Released Dec. 2015

(An archived release of Oni 1.1.1 is available for Mac OS X 10.6.)

Known issues

  • The app is unsigned, so you must follow the instructions in the read-me to get Oni to run properly.
  • Input is sometimes momentarily dropped (a mouse click is ignored, or a button being held down is let up for a moment).
  • Sound effects occasionally drop.
  • Foreign characters found in some localizations of the game's text will not display.
  • Movie-playing doesn't work below OS X 10.9.
  • After quitting Oni, sometimes the mouse cursor is frozen in the middle of the screen until you click once.
