Not for this song, you gotta shout
hallow portal
@stiff lily you may try this. https://github.com/GlitchEnzo/UnityPSDLayoutTool
@sweet crystal instead of using a button as in my example just use "on enter trigger" ...
sweet crystal
That's for worlds, isn't it?
hallow portal
oh you mean on an avatar. I'm not sure about it but I bet you have to use an animation to start the sound and then the override to trigger it.
I think there is no way to keep it running when you dont press a button. It falls back to default wich is no sound if you release the trigger.
and emote overrides play only for 10 seconds.

Does anyone know any other type of Shader that can make an avatar look more anime-ish aside from Flat Lit Toon.
Trying to find a work around for a current bug

If you play around with the Standard shader's settings, you can make it pretty close to Flat Lit Toon.
winged lotus
@fleet roost Do I need to touch any of the maps when messing with the standard?
fleet roost
@winged lotus Yes. A very faint (non-realtime) emission can help duplicate the anime-ish effect as well.

@stiff lily Note taken
Out of curiousity, does the length of a sound clip used affect the performance of others?
stiff lily
Unless it's high quality audio i don't think it should ? So far i've never heard of audio affecting performance
i might be wrong though
steel wigeon
I ask mostly because cutting down audio and trying to have it loop smoothly is a bit of a pain with sound effects that don't naturally repeat themselves at any point, although none of the sounds i plan to use will exceed more than 30-50 seconds
stiff lily
Is that a song ? I don't think it's considered a "sound" if it lasts more than 30 seconds ๐
steel wigeon
its a low burning sound im planning to use on a version of my model
stiff lily
Well, with the new spatial audio introduced in the latest patch, you should get away with it imo
It won't have a gigantic range like before it the effect might not be as strong
steel wigeon
I'll have a go and see what the response is with anyone im around i suppose
stiff lily
yeah that's always the best way, good luck !
steel wigeon
thanks ๐
steel wigeon
im convinced i need jesus
stiff lily
We all do ๐
steel wigeon
I have 2 sound clips im using, one is clearly louder than the other, they're each on seperate animations and seperate gestures, the quieter one works fine. The louder one however, seems to be stuck at the same volume level for some ungodly reason. The short of it is, for some reason, one of my audio sources is working correctly, the other(s) refuse to reach the same volume level. Ive tried duplicating the good one and changing the clip to no avail, making a fresh audio source, and still its the same.
steel wigeon
solved, now to figure out how to make the sound audible from more than 2 feet maximum
stiff lily
Yeah i think the audio spatialization changed in the last update
final wigeon
They've implemented restrictions on avatar audio sources. I imagine it'll need some fine-tuning before it fits all use cases.
steel wigeon
this might be a dumb question, but what even is oculus attenuation?
final wigeon
Exactly what it is, not 100% sure, but I think it's related to how sound volume drops as distance from the source increases.
runic mauve
ONSP audio source is now enforced onto audio sources.
Meaning Audio Sources are now forced to be fully spatial and using ONSP get a max distance of 25m and max low distance of 1.
that from Q
steel wigeon
by that logic then, what actually determines the distances at which any sound will be heard should be the ONSP audio source? rather than the 3d sound setting on the actual audio source?
steel wigeon
Im just gonna have to assume right now its a matter of the game itself, since prior to being in game, the audio is working exactly the way i'd expect it to.
dull umbra
@steel wigeon If you want to preview audio as it is in-game from the Unity Editor, go into your Unity audio settings and enable the Oculus audio plugin.

@dull umbra thanks for the tip, it did make a difference in unity, and I adjusted the audio sources accordingly, but it seems as though I've hit a brick wall, no amount of changes have made much of an impact in game. it's still inaudible once you're a couple feet away
dull umbra
@steel wigeon That's part of the recent patch as I understand it. In addition to forcing all audio sources to use the Oculus plugin, they also added some hard limits on the distance they're allowed to be heard from. Last I heard, it's not in a great place, so they're going to try to revise it soon.

Well it seems like i can't enable and disable chairs without it messing them up. If i disable then enable them, and sit on one, it won't let me get out the chair. This seems to happen at random. Some chairs will be disabled and other perfectly fine even though they are in the same prefab

No development-beginners channel.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone would be able to re-master several textures? (in other words, just upscale them to a higher res and add detail that can't normally be seen due to low res)
autumn hatch
#avatars-2-general #world-development #3d-modeling fits well instead of a generic "development-beginner" channel imho

None of them really fit my question, though.
Except for avatars, but that's just barely.

Anyways, https://gyazo.com/3b61f6ac2ffb5c32ee8d43be5257922e this is a small snippet of the av with the textures applied.
As you would normally be able to tell if gyazo worked in this channel, seriously low-res.
This is mainly because the textures were created for PSP.

No it's only in VRchat that his eyes look down all the time. Once in a while they're be in the correct place
Blender and Unity they're centered lol
Yup. They're fully functional and I tested the blink n such.
I'm thinking the range is off
Uh no it didn't last night with another model. I think the eye movement range on him is too high in CATS so I'll bring it down and see what that does. Cause whenever I look into a mirror hes like full on giving the grudge eye
Or maybe I'm thinking instead of that I have the vision dot too low on his face causing him to look down

@torn peak
This is a bit long overdue but, to change the models origin height (i.e.raise it off the floor, or even lower it for that matter) you can only do such in the rigging phase of unity.
You must grab the hip bone and with the arrows pull it up (don't use the values), afterwards you can apply the changes, keep in mind that the standard unity 3d port will display the standard prefab location, so you'll need to apply an avatar controller template and use that to fix your viewpoint, do also keep in mind that values are reverted to what they were prior to pressing the play button, so when you change the viewpoint, make sure to copy the component, and after exiting playmode, you can paste the component values onto it.

I got another problem, The mouth seems to not be moving...I can see the tongue and teeth move when looking at the shape keys but the models mouth stays static...Is this normal?
mental narwhal
@autumn hatch With dynamic bones: the single one is probably more efficient, but not by much. The main performance hit is if you use colliders.
final wigeon
Oh hey, @mental narwhal Do you know why an avatar rig wouldn't fully extend the arm unless 'pulled' by the other arm extending in the opposite direction? (on full body rig btw)
mental narwhal
@final wigeon yeah, the Fullbody is a bit wonky, because it requires a head/spine component that interacts with arms. There's going to be an update that can use the same IK system that the upper-body-only tracking uses, which will result in a lot better arm, neck and chest interaction.
final wigeon
Yeah, it just seemed inconsistent across two very similar rigs. One would only slightly pull the upper body away from the view when reaching out with the arms, the other pulled it a lot.
Although now comparing the two rigs, I think I might be able to make some tweaks to make it not quite so bad.
Thanks man, can't wait for the fullbody improvements :D

I'm a server developer and host servers in multiple games. How do I go about hosting a public world in this game?
I currently have 8 servers colocated around the US :/
I'm deploying 2 in the UK and 1 in Netherlands within the week.
rough sleet
@warm niche You don't have to host your own server. All you need to create a public world is to create a scene in Unity (assuming you already have the models and textures), upload it, and fill out the public world submission form.
Worlds are instanced and VRChat automatically creates an instance whenever one is needed (none exist, they're all full, or someone just wants their own).
steel nymph
any ideas how to get a high poly mesh in without decimating and/or losing depth/texture quality/animation quality etc? i'm seeing a lot of avatars with lots of detail and low poly
hollow blade
@steel nymph unfortunately it's the luck of the draw. You can get rid of hidden vertexes and some facial animation inside models to help but a lot of it is just some have more than others even though they are detailed
I found an extremely detailed model and it had 14polys total
steel nymph
but animations wouldn't work with 14 poly
hollow blade
Oh I know. I'm just giving as an example. Most are only 25poly or so with detail. Unfortunately you just have to be lucky to find one like that
tidal belfry
Is it possible to have custom effects and particles on your avatar that stay in place on the world when you move instead of moving with you? e.g flames
runic mauve
@tidal belfry need to world setting and 1 material item

I didn't get an exact answer in avatars so I thought I'd ask here, if I wanted to use an animation override to use a gun, sword, etc, what should the file type be of the object?

dull umbra
@tidal belfry Set your particle system's simulation space to world space instead of local space. Just be advised that certain things such as velocity curves act kind of weird in world space.
warm niche
@rough sleet thank you for the info!
tidal belfry
@dull umbra Doesn't work, now the flames are invisible.
By the way, I put the flames in the actual avatar as children to see if that'd fix it, and the flames appeared
but they just moved with the avatar instead of staying in one spot.
dull umbra
Generally the particle emitter should be a child of the avatar. If it's set to local space, then it will follow the avatar. If it's set to world space, then it should stay where it appeared.

Okay so I'm doing the sound for an animation and does this look right to you...one sec
I don't want to blow anyones ears off lol
cyan jacinth
For me the audio is always super quiet even if I put it to 1.0
the VRC SDK detects audio and messes with it, it's doing nothing good anyway
warm niche
would anyone know why people see two of my avatar when they use vr?
tidal belfry
@warm niche It's probably a shader you're using, Make sure to take a look at said shaders.
winged lotus
So it basically won't make a sound even if I put audio on it. >.<
final wigeon
It will, it's just very limited in range. Otherwise public spaces could end up a auditory mess.
winged lotus
@final wigeon Also do I need to set the sound as active in the keys
final wigeon
Uh, maybe? Never done sound on an avatar so no clue. ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
winged lotus
Ah well, guess I'll find out! lol

YES

like in blender and unity
trim ibex
ok
sour mural
im so stumped
trim ibex
actually yeah not that i think about it the sdk would prevent this
because of 5meter limit
do you have a collider on your avatar?
trim ibex
i have heard of your problem before but i don't remember what the cause was
i tried searching discord but i cannot find it. has been quite a long time ago too

I FIGURED IT OUT

Okay so animations. Anyone know a definate on if scaling a bone to 0 makes vrchat ignore scaling animations. And anyone know if putting scale to 0.001 Fixes it (technically)
warm niche
sturdy frost
Ive heard of MMD's having double armature deals with clothing n stuff. It normally leads to the shoe weirdness you sometimes may see
sturdy frost
since it isnt moving the arms @warm niche You can try just assigning the other bones manually
warm niche
sturdy frost
@warm niche Not all bones show in the Humanoid Config, you want to use the heirarcy to fix or find out if the armature has dual arms. Also a good rule of thumb is to use rotation tools to help identify bones
warm niche
@sturdy frost i honestly have no clue what heirarcy is haha
sturdy frost
Its the bunch of names in a list, normally on the left hand side
sturdy frost
you can use the Arrows to Collapse or Expand the "children" of parent bones ๐

oh ok

You can use the Rotate Tool, found top left as the 2 Circling Arrows, to move bones around to see what ones you are selecting

hey guys, you know how mmd models have all those hidden things in their face for when they need a different expression, like >_< these eyes? Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to get these animations to happen in-game?
fleet roost
@proven obsidian Those are animation overrides. The first question is... do you have a VRheadset and motion controls?
fleet roost
@proven obsidian Yeah, unfortunately, gesture overrides can't be done on Desktop Mode. You can override the Emote animations but... Unity's default Animation Tools are Hellish.
So I can't reccommend it unless you're prepared for Hell.
proven obsidian
So um, what can I do with mmd models in desktop only? I can eye track, make the mouth move when I talk, and that's it or?
quick bluff
Do the animation overrides make use of the key shapes?

yes

Hm aight

There are no tutorials for making your own Emote Animations. Because sensible people spend as little time in Unity's Animation Tools as possible.

alright, so if I wanted to make a model that has it all, but only for desktop mode. Then what am I supossed to include? Eye tracking, visemes, anything else?

soft lava
yo anyone got any good tutorials for adding physics to parts of a model prefrably without having to buy that dynamic boned addon for unity
final wigeon
@soft lava Unity physics joints. Basically, adding rigid bodies & joints to bones can (almost) replicate dynamic bone. It's extra setup and configuration, but apparently performs better.
Colliders are difficult though since there's no way to make them interact with just the bones and not your avatar itself, which can cause you to fly up in the air if one of them ends up underneath you.
soft lava
ah right so it maybe better to lookint getting the dynamic bones one if i wanted to be lazy

hey everyone, I'm new here and got a small question, does VRchat support custom written material shaders for your avatar or only a few developer aproved ones? since I'm more of a programmer than modeler I'd like to focus more on unique selfwritten shaders instead of fancy models for my own avatar
neon vortex
I think it was sdk that was corrupted
Nevermind
Still broke

Unity just will not stop conflicting with sdk
stiff lily
@neon vortex What version of unity, file type and what add-ons did you use in blender

newest unity and sdk, when i do import its from .fbx , and just a mmd port addon and apremade humanoid skeleton addon. but even if i dont port anything in it still is broken

read the pins next time
we're using a specific version of unity
We use Unity 5.6.3p1. Download Unity 5.6.3p1 at https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases/5.6.3p1
SDK -> Download from www.vrchat.com
Again, how to upgrade SDK is as follows:
- Quit Unity
- Delete Assets/VRCSDK
- Start Unity
- Import new package(edited)

sry bout that, im pretty sure i got that ver

You should probably find an MMD with a proper skeleton and use cat's then
otherwise that's gonna be a lot of work

to keep sholderpad solid but moveing with the arms
otherwise i might use dynamic bones

How does "SendRPC (TeleportTo)" work? Do i need a prefab/dynamic prefab? Where to place the object itself? At 0.0.0 in worldspace?
neon vortex
Jusy gonna reset comp
cyan jacinth
Last week I knew nothing about Unity, now I'm editing shaders for no culling because backface culling 
mental narwhal
@hallow portal the object receiving the RPC must have a VRC_ObjectSync. That has the TeleportTo handler in it. The parameter is just an Empty you place at the destination.
hallow portal
@mental narwhal I think the object sync is not the problem here. I can't get Mimis Karts to respawn. It works as long as I don't cange the model or anything on the prefab. But only the respawn breaks. Anything else works fine.
mental narwhal
@hallow portal is there more than one ObjectSync on the whole prefab? Also are the karts dynamic prefabs or do they exist in scene?
hallow portal
@mental narwhal Only the main object has an ObjectSync attaced. There is a respawn button that gets activated by another trigger as soon as you leave the car. Looks like that in my inspector....
Oh I forgot. It has a gameobject attached with the car in it. The car itself has ObjectSync the Gameobject above it does not.
mental narwhal
Oh. Are you sending TeleportRPC to the car or the parent? Does the parent need to move?
rough sleet
@fading pollen You can't have overlapping triangles in the same mesh when using transparent or fade.

in an avatar is there anyway to set parameters on an aniamtion controller of a child object? I was trying to use VRC_EventHandler but seems it is not supported for avatars.

hallow portal
@mental narwhal The RPC is send to the parent of the car. The parent should stay in place as a fixed respawn.
mental narwhal
@hallow portal you should be sending the RPC to the car, ie. the one with ObjectSync
hallow portal
but for some reason it will respawn at 0,0,0 if I do that. No matter how often I move it to the start of my track.
finite python
@hallow portal so your parent has a fixed location and the kart is a child of that parent and your trying to get the kart to spawn back to that parent location's transform on a click of a button?
hallow portal
Yes and the button is attached to the car.
finite python
does the kart have a VRC_ObjectSync?
in the picture you used a custom method called "TeleportTo" but it doesn't tell where to teleport to
I just use the objectsync's method
warm niche
hey everyone, which layer does it make it so you can walk through it but still put object on on it pickups
finite python
then the targetLocation below is the transform of where to go to (in this case, your parent's transform)
warm niche
in other words, the player collider will go thru a table, but not the cups
finite python
@warm niche I think adding a VRC_Special Layer component and changing the "Special Layer" to "Walkthrough" should work
hallow portal
@finite python It may be possible that I did not scroll down far enough... ๐
hallow portal
I think I just applied the target to the actual object slot all the time. It was late yesterday and I was sure I had it working...
I really want them to work...
Cranked up the detail, and the original wheels of the model move as individuals now...
@finite python That nails it. I'm officially too stupid to scroll down properly. Worked like a charm...
grand socket
Anybody know what port the VRCSDK communicates through?
Want a friend to do a port test as a last resort since nothing seems to solve their uploading issues
tiny forge
@grand socket ever heard of packet sniffing?
grand socket
Heard, yes, done such, no
tiny forge
you could grab wireshark and start looking at your packets and try to spot the VRchat packets
then you'll know what port it's going through
grand socket
I'd much rather not honestly, but if that's the only venue for it, guess i'll have to give it a go, if anybody does know what it is in general, i'd appreciate the information
tiny forge
assuming you need to download wireshark, it would take 10min tops
grand socket
That would imply uploading an avatar, or anything really, and using WS to find out exactly what it's communicating through, assuming i use it correctly
But alright, thanks for the help regardless
grand socket
I doubt they have those blocked
tiny forge
I agree
grand socket
Essentially, i've tried pretty much everything i knew from the book, even a clean unity wipe, registry and all, and they've been facing this issue for like... a month?
This is honestly my last venue, besides them contacting a mod
tiny forge
so the issue is he can't upload stuff?
grand socket
Always stuck at pushing the upload speeds, never even tries to fill up the bar
Constantly at 0% essentially
grand socket
Unity definitively has logs, especially the VRCSDK ones
That's why my only last venues are testing for ports and help from a mod
Since well, log diagnosis will probably come from mods
long sand
I would say ive been having the upload issue for about a month, but yeah this problem has been happening since i started the game.
grand socket
Yeah... i doubt it's a port issue then...
long sand
is there a way i can check myself?
grand socket
I mean, those are essentially send and receive, from 80 all the way to 25749 and vice-versa
Port 80 being the main one of course
Huh
Using a port checker mine seems to be closed
Now i'm scratching my head
grand socket
Well then i've been clearly just fooling myself
tiny forge
is the SDK on the latest version?
long sand
@tiny forge do you think its an internet issue thats causing the upload to not work, because as exsgt said, they have tried everything to help me with this issue of mine but nothing worked. even the complete unity wipe and reinstall
grand socket
Also i feel slightly dumber, i think my brain is just too sleepy atm, if port 80 was closed i wouldn't even be able to connect to any websites using HTTP, welp
Consider it mindless as i'm just pulling at straws now trying to figure it out
long sand
i actually looked up a port checker and it says my port 80 is closed yet i can open http links too
tiny forge
your port 80 only matters if you're hosting a website
grand socket
Yeah, by normal standards port 80 is open to external communications
tiny forge
what SDK version are you on?
long sand
im on the one that was released with the update
tiny forge
you can post a screenshot of your unity when the upload freezes?
long sand
ok let me go and get my project up
how long does an avatar upload usually take when its really low poly btw
tiny forge
like a min
long sand
well whenever i have tried to upload a low poly model with no animations whatsoever, the upload never progressed. and nothing really looks different when it freezes other then i cant cancel the upload without having to close the entire unity window
i am on 5.6.3p1 btw
originally i was on the 2017 version but switched
tiny forge
the VRCSDK tho?
the issue you have sounds a lot like what happens when you try to upload an avatar when the servers are down
long sand
so it basically always looks like the beginning of an upload. and the sdk always says the normal your using a newer sdk then the client you are testing with
from the videos and what other people have sayed, just to ignore that message
tiny forge
ye but, what is the version
I can't help you if I don't know that
because I have 2 ideas right now, either your SDK is not the latest version or there's some really weird server side authentication bug
but that's just from the info you gave me, which is. not much
long sand
this is the one from the update
when they fixed the infinite loading screen loop glitch
long sand
and then theres this thing. i have no idea what the difference is
long sand
i actually have the same issue with that one because i have a project with it and it still doesnt load (i left an avatar uploading for 3 days and no progress was made)
im just gonna assume its server side authentication that unfortunately chose me as its one and only victim for avatar uploading since everyone else seems to be able to upload just fine
tiny forge
try making a new VRchat account and uploading with it
grand socket
Also, for future reference, i have uploaded for them in the past
stiff lily
@long sand Correct version of Unity ?
stiff lily
Not a new version, just the correct one
long sand
ive been using 5.6.3p1 but i just cant upload even with the correct sdk
ive done manual client changes too but it hasnt affected anything for uploading avatars
stiff lily
make sure it's not an antivirus blocking the upload
Ah, we're also having a new record of users
so it could definitely be the servers
long sand
this was before the influx of new people. but i was having upload issues before that
grand socket
Sadly i don't think that's the case
long sand
and i have allowed unity through the antivirus and firewall
tiny forge
disable it completly to test
grand socket
And also disabled them to try aswell IIRC
long sand
ok so i need to turn off webroot and windows firewall both at the same time then.
long sand
yeah i turned off the firewall but i dont think i disabled all the functions.
grand socket
Ah alright, but what about the Antivirus?
long sand
also now that i have that 360 security thing, i have no clue how to disable that program for the time being.
as for webroot i think last time i only disabled the firewall. not web sheild or realtime sheild
grand socket
Well try that then, that might've been the issue we've been looking for
Also can you take a screenshot of your 360 security tray options?
Like such
But for the actual program of course
long sand
if it was this thing. i was trying to find how to turn it off
like the things to disable the firewall and such
and turning off webroot and windows firewall didnt really seem to do anything tbh
long sand
theres a thing called self protection and active protection that can be turned off
grand socket
Try to upload now then
long sand
its been trying. and not doing anything as usual.
grand socket
Restart unity after everything was disabled and try again
long sand
you would think it would upload in one second just with 143 polies
but apparently it takes infinity to upload. so its most likely the server hating me
and this was with the public sdk keep in mind

steel wigeon
Alrighty, Ill make this as short as possible. I've got an avatar that is meant to have dynamic bones and whatnot whom we're trying to animate with animations off of mixamo. Problem is Mixamo wont accept the extra bones needed for the dynamic bones, and any animations created with models that don't have the dynamic bones refuse to work on the models that do have them. My question is if there is some kind of work around, I'm doing it wrong, or there is no way to do so
rough sleet
@steel wigeon You can use any avatar to get those animations.
If you import the FBX file from Mixamo and import it as a Humanoid rig you can use the animation on any other humanoid rig.

How do people set up the particle-based avatar pens? My trail-based one is kind of hard to use

the neck shoots out whenever the eyes blink. (and it gets longer when both eyes are closed)
blender btw

@terse rain did you decimate it?
terse rain
I decided to put off eye tracking since the issue pretty much needs me to redo everything. (the meshes of the neck are not well connected to the body, or I should have just left it be when I attached the head to the body)

How does one prevent 3ds max from smoothing the vertices on export ?
Model goes from 34K to 300K
It was fine after the first export but now i can't go back somehow
wraith trellis
Can someone help me? Im trying to add weights to some stockings so they move along with the legs. I transfered the vertex data from the body mesh to the stocking mesh using the transfer data modifier in blender, but the stocking mesh doesn't move at all. Am looking at the weight painting for mesh and the weight paints for each bones look right. PS: I've tried weight painting before and i was able to select and rotate individual bones like in pose mode, but for some reason now im only able to the armature as a whole. Does anyone know how to fix this?
stiff lily
you applied the weight paint to the entire armature i think
since it's all selected and showing the leg
wraith trellis
when i click on different bones it shows a different weight though
stiff lily
But which bone did you click on for this ?
wraith trellis
stiff lily
The entire skeleton is orange selected
wraith trellis
how can i select a single bone in weight paint mode? it keeps selecting the entire skeleton
stiff lily
you select your armature and put it in pose mode
then switch back to the mesh and weight paint
wraith trellis
it still selects the entire armature
stiff lily
Can you screenshare ?
wraith trellis
how?

Hi

@warm niche this is normal to some degree
warm niche
my head doesnt move at all, its attached to my body
like my viewpoint entirely leaves my body, i can see the back of my legs
when i look down
trim ibex
I mean yeah your problem would be that your head does not move.
warm niche
i cant get it to move though, ive tried a lot of things
tried changing bone stuff, weight paint, view point but nothinig works
Rubicks recommended I try ask in the advanced channel
trim ibex
Yeah we would definitely need more information than that. Like for example what happens when you try to move your head in blender or how does the armature even look like.
warm niche
whenever i move the head bone in blender nothing moves, if i move any bone the corresponding mesh* doesnt move
and my avatar isn't a proper humanoid, its a purposely shittily made plane with legs
trim ibex
You mean the corresponding bone does not move or the corresponding mesh does not move?
warm niche
when i move the bone the mesh doesnt move
trim ibex
it does really sound like the weightmapping is not correct
warm niche
its definitely wrong
