YGO Omega Guide

[AntiMetaman]

I. Installation

A. Installing the Game

• WINDOWS

1. Make sure you have the discord installed and running (desktop client).
2. Download from https://omega.duelistsunite.org/ or Go to Release Latest · duelists-unite/omega-releases · GitHub (These links will always have the latest release).
3. The Omega Launcher is all you need to install the entire game, but sometimes users may want to use the installer since it adds firewall exceptions and checks to see if you are lacking any updates and installs those too. The installer would also allow you to uninstall from control panel.

• MAC m1/m2

1. Download the App
2. After the app is downloaded, right click the app and select “Get Info”
3. Check the box that says “Run with Rosetta”
4. Open the App and Play YGO Omega.
   For a more detailed guide on Installation and/or Troubleshooting, go to our discord or go here.

• iOS
  There are two known methods to install YGO Omega on your iOS device. The first is AltStore and the second is Sideloadly. It is recommended for you to start with AltStore and then, if it does not work, try Sideloadly. Both of these methods require a Mac or PC to install.

1. AltStore:
   Download AltStore from https://altstore.io/ and install AltServer on your computer. After that, install AltStore to your phone through AltServer.
   Download the YGO Omega IPA from here: https://github.com/duelists-unite/omega-releases/releases/download/Latest/ios.ipa It will be automatically saved to your device in downloads, or you can move it to wherever you prefer.
   Open AltStore on your phone and press the + button under My Apps. Find the YGO Omega IPA (named ios.ipa) in your file system and click on it. AltStore should do the rest.
   If you have any problems with AltStore, please refer to the official FAQ found here: AltStore Docs - AltStore. This is the BEST place to find information for any issues you may encounter.
   For Windows users: be sure to install iTunes and iCloud from the apple website and NOT the Microsoft store.

2. Sideloadly:
   If you cannot install Omega with AltStore, you can try to install it with Sideloadly.
   Note: You need to resign the app EVERY 7 DAYS. You will know when this happens because the app will no longer work. In this case, simply follow steps 3 and 5 below.
   Download and install Sideloadly on your computer https://sideloadly.io/
   On your computer, download Omega from https://github.com/duelists-unite/omega-releases/releases/download/Latest/ios.ipa and save it in your preferred location (on your computer, not your device).
   Connect your device to your computer, open Sideloadly, and pair your device with Sideloadly (press trust on your phone and follow the instructions on Sideloadly).
   Select your device, add your apple account, and drag the downloaded IPA into Sideloadly.
   Press start and install. You will be prompted to sign into your Apple Account. Once the installation is finished, navigate to Settings - General - Profiles and Device Management. Here you should see under Developer App your apple email. Tap on it, and hit trust.
   Just like with AltStore, if you encounter any issues please visit the official Sideloadly FAQ found here: Sideloadly - iOS, Apple Silicon & TV Sideloading.
   Sideloadly - iOS & Apple Silicon Sideloading
   sideloadly, sideload, install, no jailbreak, free, app store

• Android

1. Download from the https://omega.duelistsunite.org/
2. To go online you may have to disable a setting in your device called Battery Optimization, or Close apps in background. This differs for every device and its recommended you research how to do it for your specific device.

• Troubleshooting and Support
  If you encounter any issues with installation the fastest way to get help would be the Omega-help channel on our discord. NOTE do not attempt a reinstall if you encounter issues unless a member of the help staff directs you too, as this can cause more issues down the line. Also at the bottom of this guide is a QUICK TIPS section. Please read it.

B. Going Online

1. Once you launch the game for the first time, let it update. This will take a lot of time because there are a lot of files to download. It’s around 2.9 GB (smaller than Duel Links).
2. From the main menu, click Online. This will prompt you to allow discord to authorize YGO Omega.
   • THIS IS REQUIRED!
3. If you get a blank screen with the background or get disconnected from server, we need to check a few things:
   1. The installer creates exceptions for WINDOWS firewall only. If you use a third party antivirus/firewall, you will need to add exceptions for YGO Omega in order to get online.
   2. Make sure that the discord authorization was done. If you did not get the prompt or you denied the prompt, you will not be able to get online. To make sure, close Omega AND Discord, then launch Discord first then launch Omega. Try to go online again and make sure to grant the authorization when asked.
   3. Lastly, if you have done these things and are still not able to get past the blank screen, check with the person who gave you beta access to make sure you are enabled to play online.

II. Settings

A. Gameplay

Confirmation Prompt

Enable activating/declining trigger effects before asking for optional effects. This can be used to make sure you pass priority without activating your trigger effects.

Show Actions on Hover

Enable if you wish to have all possible actions to be shown when mousing or hovering over a card on the field. Disabling requires the card to be clicked on before possible actions are shown.

Auto-Flip

Select if you wish to have your cards animate to flip up when you mouse over them to show you, not your opponent, what they as a reminder. Disabling this will require you to zoom on a card to view what the card.

Delay Chain

Enabling this Automatically introduces a delay when a card is activated that you have no response for. This is meant to mitigate the “auto-sim check for response”. This is a basic delay and is minor in the amount of time it consumes to not cause a loss by timeout.

Invert Prompts

You can use this option to have your prompts for “Yes” and “No” to be listed as “No” and “Yes”. This is personal preference.

Game Speed

This slider controls how fast the animations for Omega are played. Increase this if you wish to have near instant animations.

Always Show Card List

Select if you want cards that are on the field and in your hand are shown in the list that is displayed when resolving a card effect that involves the Deck, Graveyard, Banish pile, or Extra deck.

Auto RPS

If enabled, at the beginning of the duel to decide who goes first the Rock-Paper-Scissor selection will automatically be randomly selected for you. Disabling this allows you to select your RPS selection.

Auto Place Zone

Enabling this will randomly select a legal zone for you to summon or activate card in.

B. Graphics

Background

Toggle between a static (jpg/png) background, Animated for legacy Themes, and Rendered for the new Rendered themes. Static will consume less CPU/RAM. Rendered allows you to select Rendered Field Themes shown below.

Quality Level

Quality level is used to select how much MSAA is applied when rendering the Field theme and field theme. This can be used to save resources, or enhance your play experience if you have a system capable of higher resolutions.

Theme

This lets you select the Field and UI theme that you use when dueling.

Rendered Field Theme

This lets you select which rendered battle environment you play your duel in.

Field Spell BG

Enabling allows the field spell’s card art to be displayed under the field of the player who activates it. Playmat only, replaces the playmat with the Field spell art. Disabling does not apply the field spell art to the field.

FPS Limit

This can be set to any number to limit the number of frames Omega renders. This limits the game from rendering frames that you cannot display or help save resources. We recommend not setting this higher than your screen’s resolution. If you wish to cap your FPS lower than your refresh rate, we recommend one of the numbers listed: 30, 60, 90, 120, 240. This can be used to help save resources if your system is struggling.

Resolution

Used to set the resolution of Omega. We recommend using the resolution your monitor is. If you don’t know what resolution that is on PC, you can use Alt+Enter.

GFX

This toggles effects for summoning and attacking. Turning this off or on does not affect gameplay speed because all animations are async (meaning they do not pause the game to play). Systems with integrated graphics may struggle with displaying these effects, and will require this setting be disabled.

Display FPS

Enabling this displays the number of frames being able to be displayed in the corner of the screen selected.

C. Sound

BGM

Slider for the volume for the Background Music.

SFX

Slider for the volume of the sound effect of cards being used and actions being taken.

Popup

This controls the image shown for an instant when a card is activate or summoned. Options are None, Hologram which only shows the art, Card which shows the full card, or both.

Hologram Size

Join Request

• When a player requests to join a duel you have already hosted through discord. If you pick "Allow", it means you will always allow them to join. If "Ask", then a prompt will appear in the game asking you whether you can or not. "Deny" means no prompt will appear in the game.

Join Invite

• When other players invite you through discord to join their duel. "Ask" means a prompt will appear in the game asking you whether you want to join their duel. "Deny" means no prompt will appear.

Incognito

Enable if you want to hide your username, avatar, custom sleeves and playmat from others. You will still be held accountable by your actions.

Safe Mode

Deck Editor Validations

Enabling this prevents you from creating illegal decks based on the ban list you have selected and basic rules of deck building.

Hide Card Prices

Enabling this will hide the prices of your cards in the Deck Editor. Prices are derived from an average from TCGPlayer and Card Market’s Lowest priced printing.

Real-Time Search

Enable if you want the deck editor to filter cards as you add text to the search box. If you use Regex in your searches often, it is recommended you disable this. If disabled, searches are completed by pressing enter or clicking the search button to the right of the search box.

Replay Sharing

If enabled, it allows other players to see all cards in your hand and deck when viewing the replay. If disabled, other players cannot steal your deck from the replay or view cards in hand, deck, or field unless they have been revealed in the duel.

Update Server

This is the server where the game downloads updates from. In the future, there may be another server where you can enter to download updates from. Don't change it unless you know what server.

Game Server

This is the server where the dueling happens. It will usually always be horizon.cf but in the future we may announce new servers.

Clear cache

This clears the cache for synced custom cards. That is, in manual mode, one can sync their custom card database with the opponent. This allows one to use custom cards. Hence, pressing this button clears that.

C. Gameplay

Hold Chain

If this is enabled, then you have to press and hold the key to switch between No Chain and All Chain. That is, during the gameplay, one can press and hold 'S' to switch to No Chain. Then, upon release, it will snap back to "Auto Chain".

Level in Hand

This shows the Level stars at the bottom of each card in your hand so that the player doesn't have to count them.

View

There are 4 camera views. You can change the view at any time during the duel. The default uses the full screen width of the field.

Modern View

Uses the full screen width for the field. The display pic when toggled will overlap the left side.

Modern Fit

This is similar to the ygopro view where 1/3 of the screen width is used for the display pic. This allows the display pic not to be shown without overlap. (This view is currently not available but may be available again in the future).

2.5D

This is the 2D topdown view but where stacks of cards will have depth to it.

Stream View

This is the same thing but cards have no depth, so piles of cards (decks), will appear flat from top-down view. Look closely at main deck area to see the difference. This is just a zoomed out version of Modern View that allows one to see more of the environment around the field.

III. Deck

A. Deck Manager

Edit

This is a cool feature which allows you to put custom tags for each deck. For example, "TCG"; "Casual"; "Goat", etc. Use semicolons to separate the tags. You can then search and filter your decks by the tags you chose. The tags will appear beneath the deck name in italicized. There is no limit to the number of tags you can have. Tags must be a single word.

Adding/Removing cards

• Double-click on any card in trunk to add to main or extra deck.
• Click+hold on any card in trunk to add to side deck.
• Click+hold on any card in main deck to add another copy of it.
• Double-click on any card in main, side, or extra deck to remove it.
• Hold CTRL while moving mouse across screen to lock the display pic. (This helps if you want to read the current card but not want to accidentally hover over a new card.)

Search & Filter

• You can search by card name, card texts, card number (the 8-digit number at the bottom left of the card), or set id (ETCO, DUOV, etc.).
• You can also search using regex which allows you to use boolean. Note that when you search using regex, the game may appear to lag or is frozen but just be patient, it'll take up to 5 secs and show the results.
  • OR: one|two|three matches a complete line of text that contains any of the words "one", "two" or "three". For example, typing "banish|destroy" without quotes searches for all cards with banish or destroy in card text. The | is a divider and means OR. If you want to do more than just a single word, you can do (remove from play)|(banish).
  • AND: (?=.*one)(?=.*two)(?=.*three) matches a complete line of text that contains all of the words "one", "two" and "three".
• When Filtering, click on the filter icon that looks like a funnel filtering cards.

B. Host

Card Pool

The card pool is the same as the one used in the deck edit filters. TCG are cards legal in the TCG (excludes OCG only cards). OCG cards are legal in OCG (excludes TCG). WCS are cards available in both TCG and OCG. DL is the cards available in the game, Duel Links. All means all cards are allowed.

Banlist

You can pick any banlist here. The official ones will include TCG, OCG, WCS, DL. The Generation banlists also exist that filter by generation (DM, GX, 5Ds, Zexal, Arc-V). Remember to wisely choose the banlist appropriate with the Card Pool (i.e. TCG banlist with TCG Card pool).

Duel Mode

Options are Single, Match, or Tag. Match is always best out of 3. Tag is 2 vs 2, but we will support 1 vs 3 and 1 vs 2 in the future. Note that tag duels use the OCG rules where players in a team share the field. Manual TCG tag may be possible in the future.

Master Rule

The Master Rules available are 1-5, and follow the rulings according to Konami at the time. There is no Master Rule 0 available (Goat Format). There is no automatic simulator that can support Goat Format currently. If there rulings not supported by the current master rules, we recommend you use manual mode. MR3 will support first turn draw, 1 field spell, and separate pendulum zones. The field will change accordingly.

Duel Rule

• Master Duel : This is the official duel rule used in the real game using Master Rules.
• Speed Duel : You can put up to 1 skill card in a deck. Main Deck (20-30), Side Deck (0-5), Extra Deck (0-5). You can find all Skill cards by selecting Skill card from the Card Type filter in the deck editor.
• Action Duel: Put at least 1 Field Spell card in the deck in addition to your normal cards. Main Deck (40-60). When the duel starts, you can select a field spell from your deck to become the action field spell. Do NOT put action cards in the deck. These are generated automatically during the duel. You can only have 1 action card in hand/field at any time. Each phase of every turn, you will be asked whether to add an action card. A 6-sided dice will be rolled and depending on the result, an action card may be added to your hand, the opponent's hand, neither player, or a re-roll. Action cards will have a unique card back with the letter "A" on it.
• Turbo Duel: Speed Spells are allowed. If you want to play a duel where non-Speed Spells can be used without penalty, then use Speed World Neo. Note that Pendulum cards are also spells.
• Dimension Duel: Each time you summon a monster, you can select its battle position which includes face-up defense position. Then, you may select its ATK/DEF from 0 to its original ATK/DEF. Players can only take battle damage based on the ATK/DEF value of the monster destroyed on their field. Unlike Duelist Kingdom, direct attacks are allowed.
• Boss Duel : For Boss Duel, the host of the duel becomes the Boss. Their deck is ignored and replaced by a Boss Deck. At the start of the Duel, the player will be asked to pick from four bosses (Z-ONE, Nightshroud, Pegasus, or Don Thousand). This is normally played in 1 vs 3 but currently will be a 1 vs 1.
• Sealed Duel : Both Player's decks will be auto-generated. It will open 10 battle packs, each consisting of 5 cards, giving the player a total of 50 cards. A mulligan is offered at the start of the duel. All monsters are treated as all Types.
• Booster Draft : Same as Sealed Duel, but instead of battle packs, this generates a deck from all TCG Booster packs.
• Duelist Kingdom : Players can summon monsters in face-up Defense Position. Player's can't attack directly. If at the end of a player's turn, they have no monsters on their side of the field and they didn't summon any monsters during their turn; then they lose the duel. Special Summoned monsters from the Extra Deck have Summoning Sickness (can't attack during the turn they are summoned).
• Command Duel : Each turn, a random command card is activated. This is a normal spell card which will have an effect that is mandatory and both players have to do.
• Concentration Duel : Each turn, a player declares Monster, Spell, or Trap. They select any card from their deck face-down and if it is the card type they declared, then it is activated if the activation conditions are met.
• Double Deck : When picking this duel rule, the player must select two decks that add up to exactly 100 cards in Main Deck. Hence, when going to the deck selector, first click on the 1st deck and then click on the 2nd deck. If after clicking on the first deck, you see a red X on all other decks, it means there are no other decks that after combining with the 1st deck, will add to 100.
• Rush Duel : Construct a deck with legal cards in the Rush Duel format. Player's can search for all Rush cards by selecting it from the Card Pool filter.
• Destiny Draw : This is just like a regular Master Duel, except the player will have the option to Destiny Draw. The conditions for Destiny Draw is that the player's LP must be at least half their original LP or lower. In addition they cannot control any monster with ATK higher than their opponent's.
• Puzzle: This is currently not functional. It will be added later. However, once you pick Puzzle from the Duel Rule, then you can choose the puzzle from the same area where you would pick the AI deck in the room screen. Puzzles require you to win during your turn given a specific situation.
• Manual: Manual duels can only be done with other human players. Players can move any card from anywhere to anywhere on their side of the field. A card log is generated for each action. Use the log to keep track of what moves either player has done. You can invite others to spectate the duel including judges from discord. You should communicate with your player to tell them what effects you're activating and when just like in real life. Commands can be typed in the chat:

  • /draw x|-x will draw x cards from the top|bottom of the main deck

  • /move|rmove|movefd|rmovefd x|-x b|g|d|e|h b|g|d|e|h [b]
rmove=random cards are moved
    movefd=face-down cards are moved
    x=amount of cards (if x is negative its x from bottom)
    b=banish zone, g=graveyard, d=main deck, e=extra deck, h=hand
    the first location is from second is to
b=bottom (optional. It puts it at bottom of destination, default is top)

     e.g. Move 5 cards from main deck to banish zone face-down:
     `/movefd 5 d b` 
    

  • /shuffle d|h|e will shuffle the deck, hand or extra. Default is deck

  • /coin x flips a coin x times

  • /dice x throws a dice x times

  • /rps will start a rock/paper/scissors with opponent

Custom Properties

This is self-explanatory. Note that the timer is the number of seconds each player in idle (while thinking and doing nothing). While a player is activating/summoning cards, the time is paused. This allows a player to have an infinite amount of time as long as they are active (not idle).

C. Search Lobby

A simple tool used to search players or room codes for hosted rooms.

V. Room (Versus) Screen

A. AI Management

• Choose the AI deck by clicking on "Add Bot". You can click on the dropdown to select the AI deck or leave as "Random". You can also choose the AI's rps.

VI. Gameplay

A. Chaining

No Chain

• The game will never ask you whether you want to chain or activate a card.
• By default, you can toggle this by pressing 'S' on keyboard. If "Hold Chain" is on then you have to keep holding 'S' to keep it on this.
• Use this setting when you don't want to be prompted to activate effects.

Always Chain

• The game will always ask you whether you want to chain or activate a card at every available opportunity.
• The game even supports bluff, which means even when you don't have anything that can be activated, the game will show a prompt and say, "No cards can be activated at this time. Check the field?". This will occur during opponent's turn if you enable Always Chain and have nothing that can be activated.
• By default, you can toggle this by pressing 'A' on keyboard. If "Hold Chain" is on, then you have to keep holding 'A' to maintain this chain setting. When you let go, it would snap back to 'Auto Chain'.

Auto Chain

• This is by default the enabled setting. The game will asks you whether you want to activate a card in MP1, BP, and MP2. It will usually not ask for DP, SP, and EP.

B. End of Duel

Rematch

• If both players click rematch, the duel will restart with the same game properties without having to rehost.

Save Replay

• Clicking this, you can save the replay and view it from replay in main menu.

Room Screen

• Clicking this will take you back to the room screen where you can change your deck.

Check Field

• Clicking this allows you to check the field, graveyard, banish, etc. Click "Finish" when done.

Leave

• Clicking this will return to the lobby.

C. Quick Tips

• Use the "C" key to toggle the display pic or click+hold / middle click on any card to zoom and read it.
  

  
  
  There are many different ways to read cards. The default font size of card text is the same as in real life. In real life, players pick up cards to read it, they don't have a separate book of written card text in a higher font for each card. Since your mouse is already on the card you want to read, just middle click rather than have to read the text on the left textbox.

• Switch your camera views appropriately in Settings. This can be found in game as well by clicking the camera button on the right of the screen.
  

• Hold CTRL while moving mouse if you don't want to update the display pic.

• If you want to go back and read a card that was revealed at a previous point, use the card log. The card log is a tab that can be found in the chat box. You can click on any card name in the log to show the card.

• Remember when you select monster materials for anything be it Synchro, Xyz, Link, etc., you have to click the "Finish" button that appears in the top right corner. This is there because it allows players to cancel or unselect.

• Click on your main deck to show the white flag for "Surrender".

• You can press ESC as a global back key.

• You can open any number of card lists at the same time. For example, you can view your opponent's graveyard and your graveyard at the same time without having to close one window before opening another.

VII. Customization

Customizing your Omega is actually fast and simple. Below I will show you how to customize a card sleeve for your deck, you can also customize the different backgrounds to ones you prefer as well by putting the correct file in the right folder. I shall point out where this is further down the tutorial. But for now, let's get started.

What are the dimensions?

To get the best picture from your image, you will need to resize your image to the correct dimensions for the image you are intending to change. Below are the dimensions for card sleeves and backgrounds:

Card Sleeves: 271 px (w) x 395 px (h) (.jpg)

Playmats: 1485 px(w) x 785 px (h) (.jpg)

Backgrounds: 1920px (w) x 1080px (h) (.jpg / .png)

(.jpg will generally be smaller files and will therefore load faster, though png will be better quality)

Where can I find the folder?

In your Omega Startup, you will see an option for Settings.

Once in settings, click the icon on the top right of the screen:

This should then open a folder on your computer. In this folder, will be a list of folders like so:

This should be in your folder path: %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Duelists Unite\YGO Omega

In these folders, is where you will put the different images to change the appearance of your game client. The main ones you will use will be Backgrounds and Sleeves.

To assign a sleeve for your deck, you will need to name the sleeve image file with the same name as your deck. For example, if your deck is called Aroma then your image file will also need to be called Aroma.

If a deck does not have a specified sleeve, it will choose a random sleeve from the folder instead.

( WARNING: Your sleeves will be shared with your opponent, do not put anything on a sleeve that is not PG-13 safe).

IMPORTANT: Unlike background textures, at the time of this writing, Sleeves will only show when connected online. If you connect online and then use the deck editor, you will be able to see your card sleeves by using the turn card button.

VIII. Syncing across Platforms

• If you want to play with Omega on multiple computers, you might want to be able to sync your customizations to your other computers. Currently this does not happen automatically but there are programs that can achieve this as a workaround.
• The program we will be using is called RESILIO SYNC.

A. Setup

• To get started, we need to download Resilio Sync. All we need is the free version for personal use.
• You can download it from HERE. Just click the orange FREE DOWNLOAD button.
• 
• Once it's downloaded, go ahead and run it. Choose the options you want. There are no additional programs that try to install, which is nice. I would NOT recommend checking the option to install the program as a service as it makes customizing and setting this up harder.

B. Initial Configuration

• Now that the setup is complete, let's open Resilio Sync.
• It will look similar to this, just with no folders:
  
• To add the folder we need, click on the + in the top left corner.
• Click Standard Folder.
• Now we need to navigate to the folder where the YGO Omega customizations are saved. To get to this folder, go to the address bar at the top of the box that comes up and type: %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow as shown here and hit ENTER on your keyboard:
  
• Double click the Duelists Unite folder to go into it.
• SINGLE click the YGO Omega folder and click Select Folder at the bottom.
• The next box that comes up will be how you can share this folder with another computer. Make sure your settings for this match the screenshot below:
• The EASIEST way to be able to get this link on your other computer is to use the Email option and simply email yourself this link. That will bring up your default mail program. If you use something like gmail, yahoo, etc and use webmail, click the Copy option to copy the link. Then just email it to yourself.

C. Setting Up Other Devices

• From your email where you have the link that you just sent yourself in Step 2, follow it. It will take you to the website for Resilio to have you download and install the program. Make sure you install it the same way you did in Step A of this section.
• The website will then give you an orange button to sync your folder. If you went ahead and installed Resilio yourself before clicking the link, then it will just ask you if its okay to open the link in Resilio which you will want to allow.
• You will then see this box come up in Resilio:
  
• The Save to location will not be the correct folder so you will need to change this. Make sure that it is the SAME location that the YGO Omega files are on the computer we are setting up now. It should look very similar to how mine looks in the screenshot.
• Click Connect.
• On your main computer where you started this, you will see a box saying you requested access to share. Make sure you allow this.
• That's it! You have now finished setting up Resilio Sync for your YGO Omega customizations. Your sleeves, decks, replays, deck thumbnails, etc will now sync between your devices!

IX. Quick Tips

• If you need any assistance or support visit our Discord server and use the Omega-Help channel.
• If you encounter a card bug, you must first verify it is a bug with a judge on our discord in the Rulings channel. Once the judge verifies it you can submit a bug report here on the forums.
• For any other bugs, report them here on the forums.
• If you encounter ANY issues with the game it is best to seek out help on our Discord first. Attempting to do a fresh install or reinstalling can add extra issues that staff will need to assist you in fixing.
