Connection setup
Tip
The default connection settings don't need to be changed if OWOVRC, VRChat and the MyOWO app are running on the same device.
The connection settings are located at the top of the main dialog.
These settings are used to configure the IP-Address of the MyOWO app (OWO IP) as well as the port used to receive data from VRChat (OSC Port).
By default, the IP-Address is set to 127.0.0.1, which always refers to the local computer.
After starting OWOVRC it will show up as "Unknown Game" in the "Game connection" section.
For detailed instructions refer to the How to play games section in the OWOGame manual.
Clicking on the 🔎-Button next to the OWO IP field will start a scan for devices running the MyOWO App on the local network.
Once an entry is selected, its IP-Address will be loaded into the OWO IP field.
When the "Auto" checkbox next to the OSC Port field is checked, OWOVRC will be visible to any local VRChat clients via the OSCQuery protocol.
On successful connection VRChat will display a popup message stating that it is sending data to OWOVRC.
OWOVRC uses the OSC Protocol to receive data from VRChat.
If VRChat is not running on the same computer as OWOVRC, VRChat needs to be launched with the --osc=<IP>:<port> VRChat launch option.
In this case <IP> is the IP-Address of the computer running OWOVRC and <port> is the port specified in the "OSC Port" field (default: 9001).
Each port may only be used by a single program at a time. If another program is already running on the same port, OWOVRC will not be able to start.
When using multiple OSC programs, via VRCOSC or VRCRouter for example, the port number needs to be changed to a port number that is not currently in use.
(This is not necessary when the "Auto" setting is enabled as the connection between OWOVRC and VRChat will be handled automatically via the OSCQuery protocol)
Note
Only ports from 1025-65535 can be used by OWOVRC. Refer to the FAQ for more information.
