wait you can fix broken meshes? is that how you see folk with character with like 150k poly

jagged quarry
#

quick question: I've seen videos of people pulling out objects, like say an avatar pulling out a yugioh card. Is that something that's exclusive to VR mode?

quick finch
#

Folks with 20+ materials

lyric nebula
#

the low barrier to entry also increases the amount of ripped avatars from games which at some point might get them in trouble with the companies that own them :v

quick finch
#

not even joking

lyric nebula
#

rofl vilar

placid umbra
median spire
#

@jagged quarry yes, unless it's a full blown animation

mental tusk
#

@lyric nebula Its true i did rip Aiden pearce from Watchdogs lmao

#

#Ubisoft lawsuit send it my way

jagged quarry
#

and I'm assuming the Twitch chat is a VR only thing too?

cinder citrus
#

@placid umbra are images allowed here if related to VRchat?

sharp hornet
#

Important to merge mesh at the end of it in blender.

lyric nebula
#

Yeaahh I mean...at some point these companies might be a bit pissy about their copyright

placid umbra
#

Images/embeds are disabled in this channel

cinder citrus
#

kk, so links are fine then?

mental tusk
#

Actually i dont see why, its free advertisement so

lyric nebula
#

@mental tusk free advertisement they don't have control over

mental tusk
#

VRChat dont earn anything so its basically free Advertisement

quick finch
#

It is really up to the companies to decide if it damages them

celest mauve
#

really depends how those models are used by the individual

quick finch
#

Some are likely ok with it, others less so

mental tusk
#

Exactly

cinder citrus
#

in regards to the 20k limit being too low anyway

mental tusk
#

Most companys would be like "PFfffffttt KK thanks for the Publicity

lyric nebula
#

and also while screenshots of a video game is murky you're taking the actual assets used and that might warrant a takedown

azure plaza
#

I would consider vrchat probably under the same banner as MUGEN in that regard though VRChat is a bit more "contemporary"

cinder citrus
#

one of my models decimated to within that 20k limit (yes very close to it)

sharp hornet
#

So I recant my statement about the tri cap. Instead cap dynamic bones and special effects.

cinder citrus
#

no animation overrides to bypass or any of that crap

#

just good textures to cover over the downfalls of high levels of decimation

median spire
#

The giant explosions are the worst performance hit tbh

sharp hornet
#

Maybe put in something that monitors cpu usage and puts up a flag if such uses too much cpu.

vocal shard
#

I just think that you work soo hard to work with a 20k limit while in map there can be objects that far surpass 20k

lyric nebula
#

if the population stabilizes hopefully there will be more people in vrchat to have fun than to troll and it will be easy to report avatars for excessive particle usage

sharp hornet
#

Since tri count doesn't matter, maybe it can be raised. Who knows.

quick finch
#

Particle effects can be a performance hit, they tend to hit on fillrate the hardest, so keep em relatively small and they will be better on the frames

celest mauve
#

@cinder citrus what poly was that model to begin with? 😮

sharp hornet
#

Depends on VRChat devs in the end.

lyric nebula
#

@vocal shard sure but the map only has to be rendered once

cinder citrus
#

want me to check @celest mauve ?

celest mauve
#

yes please

sharp hornet
#

So long as the effect isn't extravagant, it should be fine.

cinder citrus
#

just loading blender again

mental tusk
#

Anyone seen the working flashlights

hoary lark
#

Are friend requests working? I have a million requests I can't do anything with

celest mauve
#

is vr chat safe to go on yet?

lyric nebula
#

friend requests tend to work for me if I just keep on trying to accept haha

#

not safe afaik

cinder citrus
#

not 'safe'

glad thicket
#

Large particle effects kills performance in any game but usually those people ask permission or warn everyone first before using it just in case their pc could not handle it

sharp hornet
#

I'd wait till an official statement. @celest mauve

celest mauve
#

yeah i just finished a model so i dont want it took haha

cinder citrus
#

@celest mauve 60k mmd import, so includes all of the 'mmd trash' that isn't required within VRChat

odd patio
#

Is there any way to add a world to a favorites ?

celest mauve
#

mmd trash?

placid umbra
#

~9k tris

#

When detail is put into textures, models can look amazing without having high polycount

#

The issue is more that MMD makers have no reason to do so

cinder citrus
#

if you alt+h at the beginning of an import and hide the skeleton and main model itself

median spire
#

I wonder if some of the people complaining aren't using normal maps.

celest mauve
#

oh while your here @placid umbra i have a low poly model that could be used to learn decimation and export in blender its low poly so it doesnt need alot which makes it perfect for learning blender would it be possible to pin it for people learning blender?

cinder citrus
#

you can see things like semi transparent tubes/sphere/cubes

#

thats the mmd trash

#

isn't required for a base level import

lyric nebula
#

baking normal maps is hard work and people want a one click solution :B

quick finch
#

Its very difficult as a beginner to get a good normal map bake

cinder citrus
#

normally strips out 4-6k poly alone

placid umbra
#

@celest mauve I don't manage pins, but you're welcome to make a guide video about it

median spire
#

I'm just happy most of the models I use have them.

vocal shard
#

Is the server sperate base on region ? Or something

jagged laurel
#

I think it's just one server. This is a small operation.

vocal shard
cinder citrus
#

@celest mauve just finding an example of the mmd trash

alpine flame
#

Are servers working or are they down rn

placid umbra
#

If you use Cats Blender Plugin and change your import settings, you can remove a lot of that stuff automatically

vocal shard
#

Could anyone verify my friends so they can send messages here?

#

They really need to ask a question

jagged laurel
#

@alpine flame yes

vocal shard
#

They verified their phone

alpine flame
#

Working?

jagged laurel
#

both

alpine flame
#

Um

jagged laurel
#

Think of shorting out wire.

#

It's not always throwing sparks.

cinder citrus
#

@placid umbra that update is fairly recent towards auto-cleaning?

placid umbra
#

That's one example of import/export settings

#

If you import without Physics/Display selected, you don't even have to delete rigid bodies and all that

#

Saves time

digital mantle
#

How's everyone doing?

SUPA HOT SUPA HOT

placid umbra
#

I think you can upload models to Shapeways and order them 3D printed in various metals

#

How long until someone makes a solid gold knuckles trophy

iron heart
#

probably already is one, they just didn't post it

#

also if you do that, 3d printing has rules like 'get rid of those non manifold bits'

#

aka shit that can't exist irl

cinder citrus
#

@placid umbra don't tempt people, please

placid umbra
#

Their money, not mine :P

cinder citrus
#

some donut on this game will do it >_<

iron heart
#

honestly i'll probably see those on etsy or ebay at some point, at least little metal ones

#

considering bitcoin has uh, those dumbass coins out

knotty cosmos
#

so whats up with the latest annoucement?

jagged laurel
#

The other Cryptocurrencies on the rise are causing a drought in the market of GPU's and I cant find one for less then $1000... Almost 100% mark up.

lyric nebula
#

in the end you won't be able to be a nerd if you're not in on cryptocurrencies 😢

#

quietly puts nerd badge away

jagged laurel
#

It will collapse eventually once someone figures out how to breach their security and they will become Worthless* overnight.

vocal shard
#

Dude you're not a nerd because you're not mining

lyric nebula
#

oh I like to be a nerd but I also like gpus being affordable 😄

#

especially not rising in price over something as dumb as bitcoin ugh

desert junco
#

still looking for someone to helpout with making a Peter Griffin Avi. If anyone has someone that could help out

iron heart
#

i'm already in on cryptocurrencies

#

ADA made me 5k

#

lol

#

there's a whole cardano ada discord.

jagged laurel
#

You are a terrible person.

iron heart
#

i was kinda mad that people are buying gpus like nuts, like the best buy here has cleaned out shelves. 😐

rough flax
#

@shell nest They thought poly count made frame drops originally, but that's not really the case.

iron heart
#

so if my gfx card craps out for normal gaming im gonna have to wait...

#

just cause some dorks wanna get a lambo

#

even on newegg some shit is sold out

jagged laurel
#

People doing what you are doing are the reason they are gone.

lyric nebula
#

you like to have faith in humanity but before you know it vrchat is full of knuckles and copycats and gpus cost more than a house because of dumbshit monopoly money

jagged laurel
#

Minners assualt the foundation of highend gamming.

iron heart
#

and also the environment, technically

lyric nebula
#

not just technically 😛

jagged laurel
#

That's already on fire.

iron heart
#

yea all these weirdos in florida are mining because it's way cheaper there on electricity than here in cali

jagged laurel
#

I was complaining about that 10 years ago when we could still do something about it. Now we are all going to die and I just want to do it in VR.

iron heart
#

it really sucks cause i know theyre gonna do it wrong, for one

cinder citrus
#

getting myself some cereal, hopefully the cryptocurrency offtopic chat will have moved on soon

lyric nebula
#

hahah high five @jagged laurel

#

I feel like the venn diagram between people who steal avatars and people who buy bitcoin is preeeetty overlapping

jagged laurel
#

If I want to get a GPU, I'm gonna have to buy an overpriced 1060 or an RX 580. Which are basically garbage.

iron heart
#

idk i wouldn't put it that way

#

my friend in boston told me there were people selling arcade coins saying it was btc and those people were eating it up

#

i doubt anybody that dumb could actually figure out how to steal ava

#

lol

trim tree
#

anyone know why i can't enter my own world? i just get sent back to the hub:/ First time testing it out btw

i know some people finally figured out you buy btc or eth or ltc on Coinbase and it's literally a click of a button now

woven night
#

hey i got a question for u guys. I'm trying to make a model, and it says its too big on one axis etc etc. so I turn the scale down and its a suuuper small model now

#

how do i make it to where its the right size but its a normal sized model?

queen ivy
#

use decimal

#

like 0.1

woven night
#

at that point its too big

queen ivy
#

gotta play around with it

undone delta
#

@trim tree I'm having a similar issue, it seems to be the servers, as it worked fine yesterday

woven night
#

so i make it .0009

maiden rampart
#

gotta eyeball it. set the viewpoint ball to a normal height and go in smallllll increments

woven night
#

for example

maiden rampart
#

then go .09

woven night
#

no

maiden rampart
#

and so forth

woven night
#

cause then its too big

#

on one axis

#

and its small af ingame

queen ivy
#

go into the main model settings and change the scale before you bring it into the 3d

#

after you do that then put it into the 3d view

trim tree
#

@undone delta ahh, as i thought then, had some problems earlier as well:) thank you

undone delta
#

I'm hearing from a lot of VRchat discord groups that there's some avatar stealing or hacking or something going around today, and to not get on VRchat until its resolved?

maiden rampart
#

check announcements

iron heart
#

i heard they can't actually steal it though, they just temporary take it and it disappears

#

so i didn't really care

#

it's just when you're both online

queen ivy
#

they use your nameplate as well

maiden rampart
#

no, but they can also change their name to yours, troll and get you banned

iron heart
#

ya theyre working on it

undone delta
#

Well, if anyone gets banned by someone impersonating them, then I'm sure they could appeal it somehow and explain probably

#

At least I'd hope so

maiden rampart
#

i mean, the hackers could do just that unless there was a way to check logs

glossy mesa
#

anyone having issues logging in?

maiden rampart
#

even private worlds are unsafe because of the glitch

glossy mesa
#

what glitch?

crystal epoch
#

Best and most obvious way is to get on voice with a mod, since no one can copy your voice... that's proof that the person who was trolling wasn't you.

smoky gulch
#

more of an exploit than a glitch

#

and then theres the hackers

glossy mesa
#

wait whts going on. Wasn't keeping up with latest news

cinder citrus
#

think Aev is here from the mod team?

placid umbra
undone delta
#

Well, they can change their name to appear as yours, but wouldn't their in game ID show it wasn't really you, if the moderators were looking into the reports?

#

Display name would be seperate from ID i'd assume

cinder citrus
#

none of us know whether its a display name dupe, or whether its actually pulling your ID though

undone delta
#

Hm true

placid umbra
#

That'll summon someone to the world you're in, if a mod is available

#

For after-the-fact reports

undone delta
#

I guess I'll just avoid VRchat for a bit, I really don't wanna risk the whole name stealing stuff

#

Hoping they find a solution soon

magic lark
#

what do you do if it says invalid credentials

normal creek
#

Yeah. Cant you click someone and one of the options is "report"?

#

I havent played too much, but I thought that was how you do it

magic lark
#

what do you do if it says invalid credentials

normal creek
#

invalid credentials probably means that you are logging in with the wrong username or password

glossy mesa
#

Idk I had invalid credentials earlier

normal creek
#

I also recall someone saying that there were issues with the login server right now?

glossy mesa
#

but i used the same cred to login this morning

placid umbra
#

The report button in your menu can be used, yes

magic lark
#

wth i know this login is right

magic marlin
#

Ive not been able to login for hours =*(

undone delta
#

Yes, i heard there were login errors earlier

glossy mesa
#

@magic lark i had the same issues. I still do have the same issues but i reset it but now its giving me bad gateway

magic lark
#

Whatd you reset

weary mural
#

I could login just fine

glossy mesa
#

raven silo
#

Send output log with mod. Report

magic lark

glossy mesa
#

are you still getting invalid?

magic lark
#

yeah

glossy mesa
#

weird let me try again

merry canyon
#

i want to watch the improv show but i can’t get there with the dying servers :c

glossy mesa
#

@magic lark i still had a bad gateway error popup but was able to get in my 2nd try

magic lark
#

hmm

#

do you just keep trying to log in

merry canyon
#

is anyone able to get in the right improv map?
i can’t:/

magic lark
#

im just gonna make a new account :/

true lantern
#

too spooked to play rn

merry canyon
#

it hardly works even if you do, lmao

flat moss
#

Sometimes, I think that this game's in early access.

sharp echo
#

hello

merry canyon
#

i've been trying to join the improv show for the last 15 minutes

#

yes i realize that it’s early access but things keep breaking so suddenly

#

the servers worked earlie from what i could tell

flat moss
#

No, no--these issues are egregious.

queen ivy
#

isnt this game in alpha

flat moss
#

I'm just being a proverbial dick.

cinder citrus
#

so, venting for no reason, got it :D

flat moss
#

It's necessary.

glossy mesa
#

can i get a tl;dr for the hacking thing tho

flat moss
#

Do not log on or hackers will steal your firstborn child.

#

Discord? Email?

odd iron
#

I'd just google doc it

flat moss
#

Google docs.

#

Just got ninja'd by a smartman.

#

RIP.

crystal epoch
#

So afaik it's best not to play VRChat for a few weeks while this all calms down?

odd iron
#

There are tons playing, and I personally would like to test out some avatars but tbph I'm just going to wait till they come out with some more info. But I'm not especially anxious to get on either, so up to you imo @crystal epoch

warm turtle
#

Just find some friends

#

Be in friend worlds

undone delta
#

@crystal epoch Personally I'm going to avoid getting on for a while. I don't want to risk it

#

@warm turtle Many private rooms are not private during this bug for some reason

warm turtle
#

That's literally what I do most of the timd

#

Oh yeah...

#

Well I have my own world anyway

#

That isn't even public

smoky gulch
#

also people have started to upload some stolen avatars onto avatar pedistals

crystal epoch
#

I'm probably just not gonna get on, my avatar isn't the most custom thing... But I worked for quite a bit of time on it, and yeah.

smoky gulch
#

making it so everyone could use them

undone delta
#

@smoky gulch Once this all gets sorted out, I assume mods will probably remove those

indigo yacht
#

i couldn't upload my avatar from unity anyone know why ?

smoky gulch
#

yeah i know

#

its proabably going to be awhile though

severe pumice
#

What was the error you received, Rez?

odd iron
#

I read somewhere earlier that you can upload a box or something with the same ID as the stolen avi and replace it on the server, then delete it in the content manager, then just upload again

#

I couldn't tell you the exact process though

indigo yacht
#

it was something about unable to create signature im gonna try uploading again now

#

ok now it went through

undone delta
#

@odd iron That makes sense, it would probably override the stolen avatar id with something useless

indigo yacht
#

so what are risks if i go to vr chat now ?

undone delta
#

@odd iron Unless they find a way to save the avatar to their computer and upload it under their own id, who knows

shell nest
#

UGGGGH

odd iron
#

@undone delta Which they totally could I'm sure

merry canyon
#

is the improv show even happening?

indigo yacht
#

also did anyone have water proof evidence something fishy is going on ?

shell nest
#

fix these servers this 'breaking' daily is getting old

undone delta
#

@indigo yacht Currently there is an avatar theft issue, as well as impersonation and name theft issue, and private rooms aren't working sometimes

merry canyon
#

i don't even see any other instances of the theater

#

just people in private worlds

crystal epoch
#

@indigo yacht The risks are getting your custom avatar stolen and possibly downloaded onto another persons account/computer, being impersonated, getting blocked by lots of randoms, and/or getting banned.

undone delta
#

I'm just going to use this time to work on avatars and not get on to test them for a day or so. Not worth the risks imo

indigo yacht
#

what if i had no friends to begin with and my avatars are so decimated it would be weird if anyone would wanna steal really horribly decimated custom avatars ;D

undone delta
#

@indigo yacht They could still potentially use your name and get you banned, but if you aren't too worried about it you could go ahead, since technically you could always make a new account if you're banned

meager heron
#

went through many rooms and still cant find her

#

reeeeeee

indigo yacht
#

i have alt account tho but is it even possible for mods to ban me if im not doing anyhting else than playing game and someone says racist stuff in my name ?

cinder ibex
#

Can anyone help me? What are good voice changers people use on vrchat.

indigo yacht
#

@cinder ibex your own voice

undone delta
#

@meager heron Based on the background it looks that (don't remember name exactly) "Anime avatars" room. The one with the mirror that only shows when you walk close and the avatars to the right. Not 100% sure though

No a voice changer program

Hey, there's someone who I need to report that's banned from numerous other communities like Second Life / Furaffinity / Inkbunny / Deviantart that is now latching onto VRChat to abuse people. They've got a history of doing this the past almost 7+ years. Who/Where do I report this?

As a furry, this thing is on a need to know basis (As in I need to know, so i can watch out)

@azure ridge You would just turn off the Mesh Renderer component, or assign it an invisible shader (like skybox with no textures)

i dont want anyone to get that thanatos model im using

amber quiver
#

@meager heron it did end with anime avatars, look through popular worlds section, also search it up with the game search bar

out of respect for the person who made it for mmd

undone delta

@vocal shard Go into the mesh renderer option (on the components sidebar) after clicking on the chair's mesh and uncheck the mesh entirely

amber quiver
#

@meager heron right now im not risking to go on vrchat rn so i cant get specific name

indigo yacht
#

visited vrchat and new hub was empty and my new model was broken so no worries anyone would steal it unless they want redragdool which you get either way if your model is broken

Anyone want an avatar with a working gun animation?

glad thicket
#

what are the chances of it happening within a 1 minute window of logging in then going to a friends only world

sharp hornet
#

Hi, all. We're aware of a small set of users that are using tools to take avatars and wear them (as if they used an avatar pedestal) as well as modify their nameplates to potentially impersonate others. We are actively working on this issue and hope to have a resolution soon. As a reminder, modifying the client in any way is a lifetime ban offense, and a moderator will not hesitate to ban on report.

Additionally, please be aware that despite best efforts at security, it is often possible to rip a model from any game using software tools. If you upload content to VRChat, it is possible for a malicious user to rip this content from VRChat and reupload it as their own. Keep this in mind when uploading content to the app.

Thank you!

rough flax
#

They're not going to ban the average person.

how do you log in with a space in your username? Like, I've tried putting it in with the space, but it doesn't seem to be working

rough flax
#

@coral halo check your pm's

vital urchin
#

and I was planning on meeting up with friends 😦 guess I can’t play VRchat now

night slate
#

Same

solid pivot
#

So how safe is it to get on right now?

amber quiver
#

not very

sharp echo
#

i ended up logging off cause everyone made me scared

coral halo
#

are the servers down lmao

undone delta
#

imo, not too safe, but that's to your own personal judgement, @solid pivot

earnest ermine
#

I logged off because almost every instance I joined had at least one hacker, god help you if there's two

sharp echo
#

yeah i just wanted to make some friends on there 😦

earnest ermine
#

the teleportation battle is real

solid pivot
#

I mean it's been a thing for a while and I haven't seen stuff happen yet so...

earnest ermine
#

I would consider you unlucky

#

it's kind of funny to experience

#

not when you're trying to play normally though

sharp echo
#

i havent been on vrchat in forever

quick finch
#

What exactly are the hackers doing besides copying people?

earnest ermine
#

teleporting people

ripe schooner
#

anyone knows if the "hackers" were able to get their hands on other players avatars?

earnest ermine
#

usually to one spot repeatedly so you cant leave

quick finch
#

Oh gotcha. yea that could be frustrating

amber quiver
#

@ripe schooner not only that, but also name impersonation

solid pivot
#

and saying inapropriate things that can get you banned.

amber quiver
#

that can lead to potentially getting banned for not even doing anything

haughty parrot
#

so is there a way to find people who are using hacked clients?

ripe schooner
#

I've heard about impersonation. It happened to me actually

#

I worried if they would be able to download the avatar somehow

elder harbor
#

A purple said earlier that anyone getting impersonated would have no threat of being banned.

#

I forgot who said it, though.

solid pivot
#

I may take the chance because I'm not really that popular so I don't feel like I will be targeted. So I'll go in just to try my new models I ported

queen ivy
#

when you are running around as palpatine and making your voice sound like his, you get alot of attention

#

so im not playing for a while

undone delta
#

@elder harbor How do you know they would have no threat of being banned?

amber quiver
#

theres no proof

#

if you wont get banned

elder harbor
#

Because a mod said so. I'm sure they'd try and figure things out considering it's impersonation.

amber quiver
#

what do we really know about this? not much, and that makes it so dangerous

undone delta
#

true, there's no proof either side, but I'd like to be safe rather than sorry

amber quiver
#

exactly

vocal shard
#

The amount of hacking is crazy right now lol, just happened to me in game

queen ivy
#

i have really rare models also on my account, so i dont want those getting into the circulation

sharp echo
#

i dont have anything on my account

undone delta
#

Mhm, same. I worked pretty hard on custom models with animations, so I'd rather not

amber quiver
#

just as advice, we arent telling you what to do

elder harbor
#

You don't have to worry about losing anything if you have nothing to lose.

night slate
#

I guess I'll just wait til the situation dies down a bit

coral halo
#

boy oh boy I love AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIDS

queen ivy
#

i went through hell and back to find these models on nico nico

rotund hornet
#

wait, what's happening?

queen ivy
#

i dont want those getting out there

coral halo
#

i just tried to get on and everything was great but then it was like "oh this user is not found"

sharp hornet
#

I mean it would suck if the model I spent 8 hours on with custom animation was used by someone with a script.

Just wondering since VRChat is a free game, How do devs make money to sustain the servers and whatnot?

amber quiver
#

that worries me

languid flicker
#

right now they have investors

sharp hornet
#

HTC has invested 4-5 mill into them as of Sept 2017.

coarse forge
#

oh ok

rotund hornet
#

why don't VRChat devs just strike down videos that promote the hacking client?

amber quiver
#

they kno whats up

coarse forge
#

I was just wondering with the thousands of people that play on these servers ya know?

celest mauve
#

love htc the reason i went for a vive 😃

rotund hornet

they literally have direct downloads (I assume) to the pack and they are like "Yeah use it but it's not my fault if you get banned haha" while ruining people's actual creative livelihood

@zealous crystal What's up?

rotund hornet

there was a person on an island server who was changing into other people's avatars at will

brave furnace

Can ANY mod answer if there is going to be open mod positions in VRChat?

candid marsh

So I'm curious, does anyone know the name for the like...standing-in-a-portal effect a couple people use

brave furnace

This game is getting overwhelmed

That is one of the hacks @rotund hornet

rotund hornet

I just didn't know at the time

candid marsh

This thing, if it embeds

Ran into that person once.

some times i wish these hackers and hacking squads could get caught and throw into jail for rest of their life with no internet no pc no food except maybe 1 per week then they would know my suffering on this case also they make so much damage for their '' lolz ''

WHAT THERE IS A MIRROR IN THERE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ROOM TO DO YOUR MAKE UP IN!

surreal mica
#

Yeah, it would be allowed as long as it is private I think

soft skiff
#

caps sorry

surreal mica
#

I think it is a fair policy

amber parcel
#

R34 world is a world made by the devs to bait people to join it and get banned for nudity and pornographic content

indigo yacht
#

r34 is still porn related so it get's banned 100% sooner than faster

sharp hornet
#

I doubt the devs would do that.

#

The world wouldn't pass review anyways.

indigo yacht
#

@sharp hornet then what does ToS serve ?

sharp hornet
#

You go through an approval process for worlds.

soft skiff
#

No Fun Allowed

sharp hornet
#

I'm not sure how private worlds work.

soft skiff
#

Yeah so can you upload worlds for just yourself and people you invite to?

sharp hornet
#

Not sure.

indigo yacht
#

i doubt

sharp hornet
#

You should ask someone in the worlds channel.

pallid vapor
#

Yea, by default worlds are invite only, you can still invite friends into those worlds

#

You have to submit the form for going public

wintry pollen
#

Is there a limit to avatars allowed to be uploaded?

amber parcel
#

No

wintry pollen
#

Hmmmmmmm

amber parcel
#

But there is a limit the server can work or not

indigo yacht
#

waiting till some mod invades r34 world and band everyone from there ;D

fossil shard
#

is the thing in announcements fixed yet?

pallid vapor
#

That's just due to server issues. I'm up to 70-some I think and if the servers are bad, the list won't always load in full

wintry pollen
#

Earlier it wouldn't let me upload a Yoda avatar. I deleted some avatars, then it let me. It said success but it wasn't showing up.

pallid vapor
#

But most of the time it's fine

brave dragon
#

I have trust issues on this game now, some guy came up to me and asked if I wanted to see a magic trick

#

Fuck that

#

I just ran because assumed he was a hacker

#

So I jumped off and went to a private world

pallid vapor
#

It wouldn't make much sense with avatar worlds, since avatars you put in worlds show up in your own list

brave dragon
#

I didn't want to risk anyone taking my custom avatar

indigo yacht
#

i also heard noises last morning someone was calling me at void club then some robot guy showed me how to wall glitch so i can meet them but when i tried to glitch through wall they left so i assume playing too much this get's me paranoid or something

surreal mica
#

Fair, I feel the same about my avatars

indigo yacht
#

@brave dragon private worlds are not safe atm either

undone delta
#

@wintry pollen I'm having the same issue, my uploaded avatar isn't in my list despite saying it was successful. It must be a server issue

raven silo
#

Everyone's go default. Public area

amber parcel
#

Tbh I don’t feel the same about my avatars, since all my models are taken from Deviantart, like Punished said

brave dragon
#

o that sucks then

dark hawk
#

Anyone having issues uploading avatars right now?\

undone delta
#

@dark hawk Yup

pallid vapor
#

I re-texture, animate, and put particle systems on a lot of my custom avatars. I'd still be sad to see them go even if they originally came from deviant art 😦

dark hawk
#

Not even uploading for me, despite detaching id, going through whole upload process multiple times NillaBlush

raven silo
#

Hacker dont want steal default unity chan

indigo yacht
#

@dark hawk i uploaded 2 avatars they appear in-game with picture but when i choose either one of them and press change they don't load so it's only red man

surreal mica
#

Yeah. I didn't make the original models, but I've put days of work into some of them

sharp hornet
#

Never make models but made animation for some.

dark hawk
#

I got you, I tried uploading one last night and when I tried switching to it in-game, it was a completly different model that I didnt even upload or own

brave dragon
#

I DL mmd and heavily edit them to fit my preference so that it's somewhat unique

undone delta
#

I don't make custom models, but I have made a lot of custom animations, facial expressions, shaders, etc

dark hawk
#

I realize that, but it was just funny that I tried to upload meme-chan and when I tried to switch to it, it was Link from the Wind Waker ChocoWow

undone delta
#

Meme-chan, what has become of you-

#

lol

dark hawk
#

Toon Link apparently lol

amber parcel
#

You know what I should do

#

I’ll just play Mario Odyssey until the hacker problem passes away

remote hinge
#

im not gonna log in until its fixed
call me paranoid tho i guess

pallid vapor
#

Yea, I still won't log on until the all clear 😦 there's still the impersonation issue

dark hawk
#

So is the problem that they steal them and then own them in their list? Or is it like them getting one off of a pedastal in a world and it is only temp?

undone delta
#

@remote hinge Totally reasonable, not paranoid in my opinion. You just want to be safe, it's understandable, I'm doing the same

remote hinge
#

👌 thx fam

#

i mean
mistakes happen

undone delta
#

Even if the ban thing isn't happening, which I'm not too sure of, there's still the avatar problem, so I'll wait it out

#

True, but I prefer to use my own, it's largely the reason I play VRchat in general, the cusomization. Plus I can always do other things while I wait

So is the problem that they steal them and then own them in their list? Or is it like them getting one off of a pedastal in a world and it is only temp?

^^^^^^ This is my concern too. I thought they just take as in they can look like you. Didn't know they could make it so you completely lose your avatar. Anyone able to confirm NekoNatsuki's question?

How do people do music spam on their mics?

dark hawk
#

Then I don't care honestly lol

undone delta
#

The only thing I know, from multiple people agreeing at least, is that they can turn it into a pedestal using the id they took

pallid vapor
#

Turn up music really loud and put your mic next to it

remote hinge
#

theres a few ways, id use voicemeeter @sharp hornet

sharp hornet
#

Do they use something like slam?

indigo yacht
#

@dark hawk copy pasted from tupper

#

Hi, all. We're aware of a small set of users that are using tools to take avatars and wear them (as if they used an avatar pedestal) as well as modify their nameplates to potentially impersonate others. We are actively working on this issue and hope to have a resolution soon. As a reminder, modifying the client in any way is a lifetime ban offense, and a moderator will not hesitate to ban on report.

#

Additionally, please be aware that despite best efforts at security, it is often possible to rip a model from any game using software tools. If you upload content to VRChat, it is possible for a malicious user to rip this content from VRChat and reupload it as their own. Keep this in mind when uploading content to the app.

undone delta
#

@sharp hornet I don't spam music, but I do use music when I use my DJ model, and I use voicemeeter banana, with my phone plugged in to play playlists

dark hawk
#

If someone thinks that my avatar is good enough to steal and impersonate me, then by all means do it, I talk in-game so I am pretty sure my friends would know it's not me haha

remote hinge
#

im so happy banana is free now

quaint vessel
#

What are the best sites for downloadable Avatars?

pallid vapor
#

Yea, the "re upload as your own" part is what concerns me. I wouldn't care about a pedestal-like effect

remote hinge
#

back when i originally used VM it was like 15 bucks or something

sharp hornet
#

Voicemeeter? I used to use that for shadowplay. But then it stopped working.

undone delta
#

@sharp hornet Voicemeeter Banana specifically, it has more options

twin topaz
#

It doesn't sound to be too big of an issue imo then. I was reading a bunch of comments and it sounded like you lost your avatar forever to some hacker.

vocal shard
#

hello im new here

undone delta
#

@twin topaz I doubt that could happen, since the avatar id is attached to your account id or whatever. The only way they could do that is if they found a way to reassign the account the avatar is connected to

#

which is deeper than what they seem to be doing

quaint vessel
#

I show you de whey

remote hinge
#

hope this isnt the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know the basic process of how to add in a selfie cam to an avatar override?

#

aight ty

#

sorry for puttin it here

undone delta
#

@remote hinge Hm.. I've been trying to get that to work for a while, I'm not sure. I'd normally say use vrc_mirror scripts, but they don't work for me. Avatars channel might know, yea

remote hinge
#

i dont think it is, but i just dont know how

#

the avatar stealing thing?

interestingly enough, my gpu seems to be my bottleneck even though everyone says the game is CPU intensive

vocal shard

🇺🇬

lucky

wise surge

my fx 9590 is barely hitting 20% but my R9 290x is at 100%

vocal shard
#

i havent dug too deep into the code but im guessing blueprints are avatars, and blueprints are cached

fluid finch
#

ive heard the game was GPU intensive mostly

#

because my i7 7700 never even hits 15

I'm in a lobby with a guy having a fucking hitler avatar

not enough controlled testing

What can i do ?

surreal mica

What's wrong with Hitler?

Lol.

record or screenshot and report it to a mod is all you can

or call a mod i think

hey i just found a Stripper playermodel with the knuckles face on it

Done, thx.

I'd settle for drinking with Hitler-chan

Satan, hitler, tide pod chan, and for some reason he man. Sounds like a weird pug scene but a welcome one

Actually knowing haker mans the effort it takes to remove a guy who puts on a knuckles sounds like a lot of HOOPLA

vocal shard

can't the hackers just change the knuckles playermodel insteade?

keen chasm

You think so but

steady nymph

But hack in this game though xD

high rivet

Is it safe to go back in?

vocal shard
#

yes

Technically speaking it's never safe but it depends on your definition

With the hacker situation

keen chasm

Oh that yea

We sword art online now

i dont get why hack such a new game

Because people don't like fun.

This game has been in early access for a LONG time

hold on let me sead the knuckles player model to second life to cause more wars

who cares if someone steals your model if they'll eventually be banned for doing it?

They will copy your name
