===Hosting tips=== | |||
*If you want to be able to host games, and not just join other people's games, make sure that you have forwarded port 2680 (UDP) to your computer's internal (private) IP address in your router's settings. See this [http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm port forwarding guide] for help. | |||
*Until there is metaserver support (i.e., a matchmaking lobby), you will need to arrange matches with other players using a third-party program like an instant messenger or an IRC client (our IRC channel is #Oni at euIRC.net). | |||
*Some hosts are plagued by the OS X 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 copy of Oni to your Firewall exceptions (System Preferences > Security > Firewall > Firewall Options... > + button). Sometimes this will not work, in which case you need to open Terminal and use the command: | |||
sudo codesign --force --deep --verbose --continue --file-list - --sign - /path/to/Oni.app/ | |||
If you see the message ".../Oni.app: replacing existing signature", then it was successful. If it does not work, try the command several more times. It often doesn't seem to work on the first try. | |||
