Hey Guys,
I want to test the new feature of the World Builder to play the World while editing it.
So here comes my problem wenn i start Oort and want to start the World Builder Stream says the Game is already running. Is there a walk around or is this somthing the devs must do?

thanks for help! :smile:

Steam won’t allow you to run the game and the editor at the same time. However, you can run the game from Steam and the editor by double-clicking the “mave.exe” file directly in the “mave” folder in the main “Oort Online” folder. On my Windows machine, the mave executable is located here:

"C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Oort Online\mave"

  • Start the game in Steam and keep it running (in a window, not full-screen)
  • Double-click the “mave.exe” file and use the editor
  • When you want to play test a world, click one of the new eyeball icons to the right of the visualization eyeball icons in the Generator element. This will start a local Oort Online server and generate your world.

  • Then teleport to a world in-game and change the Universe (at the top of the server window) to “Builder.” The world hosted locally is called “Final.”

Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me how to do this on a Mac?

Yep! /Users/ YourUserHere /Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Oort Online/mave

Open a Terminal window and you need to try:

Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Oort\ Online/mave/mave

(The escaped spaces with a back slash are essential.)
