I really want to apologize for these Broken Dreams Avatars World models xD....I know it's abomination in progress xD
Lol
You're fine @vocal shard .....we still love you

@ivory hollow using a vr maybe?
north axle
@vocal shard I'll tell other world checkers.
ebon abyss
LF someone to upload an existing mmd model to my account and add dynamic bones, eye tracking and lip sync! PM me and we will negotiate a price. I have two models I want uploaded. (:
vocal shard
@vocal shard thank you! XD
@north axle pls nooooo xD
north axle
@vocal shard Tupper had to visit it anyway. It's what we always do before approving worlds.
vale palm
@north axle is there a list of blocked plugins/assets?
vocal shard
@north axle ahh, Sorry at first I misreaded that (^_^)
modern sand
@ebon abyss Check the Vrcat forums in commissions or the VRc trader discord
vale palm
i see, tyvm!
bitter bone
@ivory hollow what kinda avatar(s) do you use?
Things you’ve made or things you’ve found?
empty sand
Do vive trackers require lighthouse I can't find any details on it
calm turret
Hello @covert chasm , it is possible that some moderator can follow me to talk about something very important related to the game.
covert chasm
@calm turret The best way to contact us is via hello@vrchat.com. Admins and moderators dont' deal with issues via DM on discord
calm turret
ok, I'll try there, thank you very much.
bitter bone
@empty sand yup. They’re literally just vive Wands on your limbs
vocal shard
Is anyone else not able to delete avatars?
copper obsidian
should be able to. restarted unity?
vocal shard
I've restart my whole computer and I still can't get rid of them.
copper obsidian
updated sdk?
vocal shard
Its through the manage avatars menu right or is there somewhere else im supposed to go
tepid kite
any mods online?
vocal shard
I have the latest SDK
copper obsidian
you could try an older version?
vocal shard
I suppose I could give that a shot
tepid kite
there should be a way to ping mods
@covert chasm hey theres a racist troll in #spanish
copper obsidian
yeah that should work @tepid kite
covert chasm
handled
tepid kite
thank you ^.^
dawn ore
hey is there any way to change the sensitivity with controllers?
forest mountain
hey @covert chasm now that the server issues arent as bad are there any plans to increase the poly limit on avatars sometime in the near future? or at all for that matter?
trim hamlet
No plans at the moment
forest mountain
ok thanks
wary arch
How's it going all
wary arch
I'm a little in-active in this community, but I wanted to become more active as VRchat is a game I'm addicted to.. for now.
shadow prism
That's what I said a year ago
Cant get away from it, too many good people and too much fun to be had
wary arch
I meant the discord, I love VRchat :P. Yeah, I'm a very social person, a social game where I can use my rift is pretty awesome for me.
I mean, how else will I achieve my true dream of giving everyone headpats
mighty galleon
I give headpats irl
shadow prism
Head pats, hugs, then throw a disc at them
devout island
Giving headpats irl, the most awkward thing you can do
shadow prism
I'm not allowed to touch my wife's hair
shadow prism
She killed me once when I gave get a head pat, true story
No I just learned she doesn't like having her hair touched
mighty galleon
I let about almost anyone touch mohair as long as they're clean
mighty galleon
In highschool my class mates always braided my hair and stuff even though I didn't know them xD
wary arch
I wonder how my fellow co-workers would think if they found out that my life consist of petting people. I work as a wireline distribution center lol
wary arch
oh gosh
mighty galleon
Anyways breaks over back to work
shadow prism
Oh yea, my old irl hang out girls liked to braid my hair, it was a great way to get phone numbers
wary arch
I could never work at a grocery distribution center D:
the pay is also absolute garbage there
mighty galleon
TTYL
shadow prism
Cya
wary arch
o/
The walmart in my area is always packed with lines of like 30 people
In the city this is never an issue because they have many people to work the registers
vocal shard
survival of the fittest
wary arch
However in an oil field town, most people work for wireline, etc. SO only people's kids and oldies work in fast food places/walmart
shadow prism
Yea I'm not a people person, I like my job. Just follow set parameters and you'll hardly ever get bothered
devout island
It's confidential
shadow prism
@wary arch who me?
devout island
No, he's talking to himself
wary arch
yeah
shadow prism
Oh I work in a Steel Mill
wary arch
ahh, you can avoid people there
My job is about customer service really, so I had to befriend all my customers
Give them fist bumps, etc. you know.
shadow prism
Ug
wary arch
However I work with companies, not just random average day people
Unless random average day people like to buy 25 foot guns lol
shadow prism
Lol well that's different, company people want the same thing you do, broker deal and get out
thorn compass
@wary arch same, I work at a theater in management position
thorn compass
Always have to be friendly to people. Even when they ask the simplest of questions.
wary arch
LOL, I never know the answer to my customer's questions tbh
thorn compass
Yeah I put the films via hard drive onto projectors. I quality check them.
wary arch
Ohh wow
shadow prism
I love movies
thorn compass
And I change the bulbs. Which the one for our biggest screen is 1.5k.
It's B&B
thorn compass
I think 8th largest in the world now? I don't remember
wary arch
I only have a single movie theater in my town, and they have 8 rooms
It's called eagle 9
thorn compass
It's fun. I tend to be everywhere when I work.
We had 9, then a new one was built, now we have 12 with 1 being a 50 foot tall screen.
shadow prism
I have a drive-in theater near me i love to go to every summer
wary arch
Oh wow
Was B&B one of the few that allowed you to order in the theater with comfy seats?
I can't remember
I remember B&B because I've been to one in my home city
thorn compass
Yeah, we have leather seats. And you have to choose them lol
wary arch
yep, that's the one
Now, was yours the one with that crappy device
That never reads my card
that's like, on the seat's arm
Cause I remember spending like 30 mins trying to get alcohol
candid ocean
Are the servers down again for anyone?
thorn compass
Only certain models of theaters have them tho.
Nah, you actually have to go out to the bar that we have to get it.
candid ocean
I was unable to travel to another world, and now I can't sign in :c
wary arch
ahh
thorn compass
@candid ocean maybe issues. I'd just wait a bit.
@wary arch yeah we don't have them on the seats. For some reason people tear them up bad, which I don't know why they do that. It's horrible to repair.
wary arch
Oh wow.
Yeah, it's mainly kids that mess up the seats I'd imagine
I always have some kid behind me that'll keep kicking my seat
and the parents will be ignoring their kid. xD
I think I got so frustrated once with some kid, that I turned to the parents and said something rude. I hate creating drama tho
devout island
Is this what I call unrelated conversation to vrchat?
thorn compass
Yeah, what bugs me is when people don't pick up their trash.
This is in a way I suppose.
Kinda just happened lol
wary arch
If you call theaters in VR a true experience you obviously love to live life in 240p
vocal shard
@wary arch I go past the limit of headpat. .muwahaga
thorn compass
Being blind is the best in life, you don't see the horrible decimation of models 
vocal shard
*muwahaha
shadow prism
Just chat without the VR
wary arch
I've learned a lot about blender and unity and finally learned how to create properly decimated models that look nearly full quality
I think the highest decimation I've done was 600,000 tris
thorn compass
I hardly done any decimation now. I tend to be able to wing it a bit.
wary arch
Yeah, I followed tupper's tutorial and slowly began experimenting on my own
thorn compass
Typically don't even have to decimate now.
Yeah, it's fun. Especially when you get the boob physics to actually be simulated and even looks like the real thing physics wise.
Literally took forever to get perfect.
shadow prism
I followed Jazneo for figuring out Visemes and I'm gonna follow Morgus's video next animations
wary arch
Yeah, lol
tepid raptor
OMFG I'm retarded 
wary arch
Azuki's model came with bones in her boobs and the one who helped me with the bones also fixed it for her ears
tepid raptor
I was redoing this char 12 times by now
wary arch
so I was able to create a really awesome nekopara girl
tepid raptor
because eyetrack wasn't working
wary arch
Is eyetracking functional again?
tepid raptor
then i remembered that they disabled it
devout island
Afaik it's still bugged out
thorn compass
Yeah, I actually had to do the bones and meshes myself for my angewomon model.
wary arch
bones are pretty op
wary arch
I hate seeing models from touhou though, like the ice queen cirno
thorn compass
Not even the front hair.
wary arch
I've been playing touhou recently, and I can't help but hate these models now.
For. Reasons.
keen chasm
Don't tell Tupper lel
wary arch
Oh trust me I hope he sees
he's the reason I said it in the first place
My friend is also addicted to her
thorn compass
Meh, I've been working on one peice swimsuit models, and trying to get them working for my full body tracking.
wary arch
The ice queen never leaves me. xD
ayyy
Full body tracking is way more difficult
I have to have precise bones in each toe, joint, etc.
keen chasm
If you legs don't work like they used to before
wary arch
Also what helps is I make the model my exact height
thorn compass
I have all but 4 models that don't work with full body.
wary arch
MMD has some funky models I know
thorn compass
I switch to those when I want to be lazy, or tired.
Cause you know, I stay up for 8 hours dancing for 6 of those hours
wary arch
If you don't make them the proper height the legs and stuff will bend awkwardly
lmao
I want to know more VRchat horror maps tbh
I heard there were actual good one's put into the game
and I want to find them.
thorn compass
You can correct the leg bending by bending your legs when you are aligning.
keen chasm
That might be why my model freaks out around the waist. It's a lot taller than myself. 5'9 btw so i guess I can't math
wary arch
ahh
Yeah, the best way is to learn the measurement unity uses
and then calculate that with your actual height
Then create an object and perfect your models height with it
keen chasm
I need help from big Shaq with the quik maths
thorn compass
I'm 5'8 but I play comfortably at 5'2
That with correcting the leg bending.
wary arch
That's possible
I find it uncomfortable being a different height sometimes though than my irl body lol
I've made adjustments to my VRheadset however
and I use the develpment tool from oculus to improve quality and things
I actually made a tutorial on yt once on how to improve quality, and yes it works on vrchat
keen chasm
Image models are hard to do. Like I did one but it still was on the floor after rotation
thorn compass
Only issue is when I align I have to bend all wierd to correct the hip thrusting forward and the knee bending.
wary arch
yeah
That's a big issue for when you're taller than the actual model's height
Full body tracking is not properly done yet, so it's pretty amazing when you do see it
thorn compass
What super sampling do you play with? I use 3.5
vocal shard
Did anyone log on vrchat today 🤔
thorn compass
@vocal shard I did at like 4am to 10 am
runic hound
wary arch
I want to get on VRchat later
vocal shard
👌🏼 ok just checking lol
wary arch
I am finally not on call
thorn compass
VR chat is mainly a dance simulator.
wary arch
So I can get a little bit to drink and begin petting people again
lol
I use VRchat to pet cute models
devout island
Dance till your dead
thorn compass
insert DTD dark souls video
wary arch
What do yall think about the gloves that allow you to feel objects within the game?
pallid vapor
Swash: check the Halloween hub. It has links to most of the horror maps
thorn compass
Well, oculus is working on it. I mean we are getting closer to the ready player one stage of Vr
shadow prism
@wary arch im down but the idea kinda frightens me, for certain reasons
keen chasm
Inb4 it's just memes again
wary arch
Oculus has actually been doing many test
including the sense of taste and smell as well
Which the headset produces gases on your nose and tastebuds
keen chasm
I totally want that tide flavour
wary arch
kek
thorn compass
Yeah, it's like 1k for the headset.
pallid vapor
I think it's just called the Halloween hub
wary arch
cheap
keen chasm
I picture it as a feeding tube
thorn compass
Without the senses. And the other. Also it's not even consumer sale.
pallid vapor
It has all the Halloween contest submissions and two of them are pretty awesome
wary arch
I heard there are headset models they're trying to produce to simulate a headset like in SAO
thorn compass
Ah like the NervGear
thorn compass
Use signals to block the body movement.
keen chasm
Upload your brain and get infected!
thorn compass
Which is then transcoded into the game.
wary arch
I wouldn't mind if I somehow got uploaded to a game
thorn compass
Same here.
wary arch
I'd only fear if it was vrchat because i'd die with the servers
cause we know how stable they've been
xD
shadow prism
I wonder what fear tastes like
wary arch
prob orange juice
keen chasm
Good sweat
wary arch
or something terrible tasting like cabbage
shadow prism
But I like cabbage
thorn compass
wary arch
Ofc that's an opinion and I can see some one getting frustrated who's lurking right now
thorn compass
Vegetables are good for you!
wary arch
Just so you know, so is meat
shadow prism
Brussle sprouts
keen chasm
Squid food
candid ocean
Well this sucks. So for some reason, none of my friends are having issues logging in, but suddenly I am :c
thorn compass
It should be banned in the US tho
wary arch
it really should
keen chasm
Space meat is the future
wary arch
The meat I have at home-made bbq places that actually hunt for their meat is amazing
heady lynx
Are the servers dying or did my world just die?
shadow prism
I wanna try lab grown meat
thorn compass
It's just servers, I'd give it another 30 mins.
keen chasm
Well to be fair early access
wary arch
Early access is not the excuse here lmao
thorn compass
It is in Alpha
pallid vapor
Servers were near perfect before the population skyrocketed past 5k
wary arch
Servers have nothing to do with it being early access
keen chasm
Hey I don't read the announcement I just read the rules
thorn compass
A
L
P
H
A
wary arch
they haven't re-scaled since the huge ugandan meme that boosted their popularity
keen chasm
Besides the red 1 won't go away sometimes
wary arch
I'm curious on how they profit from vrchat at all tbh
thorn compass
I don't believe they do.
wary arch
they have to
hasty wedge
they got big $$$ from vive™ i think
keen chasm
I still think alpha is still early stage
keen chasm
Better servers means more spending so they may have to compensate
wary arch
but I'm sure they spend around 1000+ per month handling the server they have now
thorn compass
I believe they were given money from a company, I don't know why I think Microsoft. I'm sure it's not them.
wary arch
and if they re-scaled and upgraded their servers, it'd probably cost over 3000
monthly
hasty wedge
pill spent the 4 mil on a mansion (´・ω｜
pallid vapor
They scaled a ton from when the population was maybe 20 max a day to around 5k. I heard the software itself was never designed to accommodate more than 6k max
wary arch
Ahh
vocal shard
Investment from htc
pallid vapor
But just a second hand account :)
wary arch
They are using unity as an engine after all (^:
That's not me saying anything bad ofc, unity is a great engine-ish
thorn compass
I mean the software runs on CPU instead of GPU, which I wish they changed it to gpu.
CPU is so bad :/
vocal shard
hey y’all
vocal shard
it’s me dad
thorn compass
@vocal shard Konbanwa 
vocal shard
and a naruto to u too
thorn compass
GPU is more stable that way, since it's not using the processes like oculus.exe and steamvr.exe uses.
keen chasm
That's probably why I can even run it at all though
wary arch
You'd be surprised
I know some servers that use a super GPU that has like a GPU and CPU combined?
That thing is powerful
wary arch
Well their CPU's aren't gHz, they're THz
feral garden
Good night, asked on lobby and wanted to ask here too, Is there a way to block a stolen avatar to be used by that person? And to report him?
feral garden
I mean, someone stole my avatar
keen chasm
Well that stinks. Sorry nothing
thorn compass
Block the person then take a picture or video and report it.
I think under moderation reports.
That's why I only join friend lobbies and not public.
wary arch
If.. you own the model you can contact the developers and get them to remove it from the game. Though, you can't privately own your own avatar and put it in the game for only you to use technically? If that makes sense
thorn compass
Ask @covert chasm and see what he says.
hasty wedge
must be painful being @ 24/7 
wary arch
Don't ask the cirno avatar user
feral garden
Okay, thank you for the help
wary arch
never trust an ice queen
feral garden
The hacker's name is "Supergay1488" so be careful if you see him.
hasty wedge
u could remove the avatar id and replace it with another or somethin
too sleepy to remember
feral garden
By the way, I don't know why this game let you put these names
wary arch
ahh, some one scripted and stole your avatar that way
thorn compass
Im always on call as well for my job
wary arch
Yeah, record them
uncut trail
Why is my vrchat keeps freezing @ login screen ?
wary arch
I believe you look in #moderation-reports to get your answer @feral garden
@uncut trail I heard servers were down temporarily from other users
so maybe they're overloaded temporarily
thorn compass
@feral garden try to only play in friends only worlds.
wary arch
Since the game is in alpha, they'll be able to change it
That'd be a proper move in development after all
thorn compass
@feral garden should help prevent the hackers.
wary arch
Some game developers get lazy when they see the workload though :P
No point in pressuring them about it though
keen chasm
I just thought of something: what if you don't have friends? Like not to be rude but you're too poor to entertain potential peeps
uncut trail
😦 logged in and game wouldn't load 😦
keen chasm
That's like what $150 maybe more
wary arch
buy my time
thorn compass
@topaz notch why not just start with importing?
wary arch
I want an excuse for free money 
thorn compass
Then work your way up.
wary arch
nah infinite, you have to understand
you need to take advantage of people's laziness and create a business
uncut trail
lol stuck at the hub 😦 no world loading what gives
thorn compass
I just worked on a head transplant for my model. Literally the worse thing I've done in my life.
@uncut trail servers
uncut trail
😦
wary arch
The only problem with game servers is that once they go down, teh discord is full of people saying "HEY I can't do nuffin"
wary arch
Lol, it makes sense though
this game is awesome
I mean, only because it has VRsupport ofc
thorn compass
VR games are amazing in general, I need to add more sensors but I am waiting till I get a bigger house to add more.
topaz notch
@thorn compass I have, but I just get lazy, and some people are still way better then i'll ever be ❤
wary arch
Nah infinite
I wouldn't do anything or get more sensors
I'd wait until the next generation of VR
Which revolves in higher quality headsets that allow users to be cord and wire free entirely
queen ivy
if MR does what its supposed to do
thorn compass
@topaz notch just takes practice lol
queen ivy
then that will be one of the highest forms of VR
topaz notch
Practice im not willing to put down at this point
wary arch
I'm more interested in that project going on in japan
queen ivy
internal sensors that have good tracking, sign me up for that
wary arch
where it's fully body tracking+headset and it completely dominates the oculus rift
queen ivy
external tracking isnt the future, id say internal plus a skeleton that tracks your body is the way to go
dusky marlin
alright, so nsfw avatars are apparently not allowed
thorn compass
O @wary arch you mean the individual power base? Built into the headset. With it's own is so it doesn't need a computer?
I've been looking into it.
thorn compass
It would have it's own OS
queen ivy
the companies will treat it like a console
ocean kraken
Ok so
queen ivy
console treatment isnt good
wary arch
what?
thorn compass
With the lastest oculus update, I don't even need a monitor lol
queen ivy
monopolies are on the way
ocean kraken
i`m recruiting for our new Succubus groups. If you have a Vive join us. We have 4 places left.
wary arch
You realize in SAO the headset used was a gaming console right?
Meaning they're heading the direction of SAO 
thorn compass
Vive is pretty bad tho?
wary arch
Neither headset is bad
vocal shard
wa
queen ivy
SAO is a poorly planned story
wary arch
Not really
It's a poorly planned anime
If you read the actual story and novel you'd understand it was pretty great
queen ivy
the base story is decent, but poorly planned
vocal shard
it's planned for our garbage pleasure
queen ivy
the anime is a poor execution
wary arch
I'm only using SAO as a reference anyway
thorn compass
Both headsets have horrendous flaws. But I think the oculus is better due to comfortably
wary arch
neither headset is comfortable tbh
thorn compass
I'm also referring to controllers
topaz notch
the headset in sao is a mind warpy thingie
uncut talon
:o
vocal shard
i dunno, the nerve gear looks like you sleep with it
queen ivy
if the VR headsets were to be a bike helmet design
wary arch
The headset in SAO is properly explained in the novel
queen ivy
how would that be?
vocal shard
i want some augmented reality battles with bike helmets
wary arch
It uses specific microwaves to intercept the signals sent by your brain to the spine
uncut talon
Ooh, that’s interesting
queen ivy
incredibly dangerous
vocal shard
ar + hed protection
thorn compass
Or they go the Accel world route and it's a necklace.
Since they are in the same universe:o
wary arch
they're not researching that IRL
They're researching something that attaches to you directly :P
uncut talon
Wait, Accel world is indeed in the same universe?
wary arch
yes
thorn compass
Yes
queen ivy
you would need to modify your body for that to work
wary arch
It was actually just a side story of SAO
queen ivy
matrix like
wary arch
no HISOKA
vocal shard
what about ordinal scale
thorn compass
In the first episode of AW you see the nerve gear from SAO
uncut talon
So I could theoretically watch SAO, then I could watch Accel world which is like 20 years later
queen ivy
ordinal scale is AR on an acid trip
vocal shard
yeah hisoka and i were disccusing the ar gear
uncut talon
That’s cool!
queen ivy
BMW is designing an AR headset
vocal shard
sometimes i tried to catch people but it'd send me into a screamer
queen ivy
for one of their bikes
thorn compass
@queen ivy is it overly expensive and needs a third party to work on it if it breaks?
queen ivy
the concept i saw was a full helm
thorn compass
I'm making fun of BMW.
Since they do that.
queen ivy
@thorn compass obviously they would
thorn compass
11/10 BMW wins again
vocal shard
looks rad
queen ivy
its how google glass was outlawed
vocal shard
but doesnt it look huge?
thorn compass
It's like wearing a bucket on your head to read the weather with your eyes.
queen ivy
and car windscreens are going AR as well
vocal shard
Google glass was outlawed?
queen ivy
google was told secretly to stop developing it for the public
i think its a restricted thing now apparently
due to security risks
vocal shard
Just google'd it. There are no united states, or international, laws that explicitly ban the use or wear of it
queen ivy
secretly
vocal shard
Just private venues that prefer and request you do not use it
queen ivy
try getting a glass, its hard to get one now
vocal shard
And where did you get ahold of this secret information?
vocal shard
Internet heresay perhaps?
queen ivy
but think about it, the glass can identify someone through facial recognition
that would be a go to device for spys and hitmen
vocal shard
Not really
thorn compass
It's only got 5mp camera and 720 p video
It can spot faces with a potatoes camera
queen ivy
lemme just stop now before someone trys to blaze me again
vocal shard
The iteration of inclusive social media and public domain use was a tertiary application
queen ivy
it makes no sense having a discussion where someone just throws facts around
when both sides does that its not entertaining anymore
vocal shard
I'm just trying to understand your logic
Of why it would be requested by the united states government to stop production
Go ahead....
queen ivy
im stopping now
vocal shard
I respect your desire to remain silent
thorn compass
I think Google had sets on other innovations like smart homes.
vocal shard
No need to continue a conversation you do not feel comfortable with
queen ivy
one thing though, last thing
there was probably a glass model that the gov't did not like
vocal shard
The government actively uses glass in the DOD industry and private contractors
They love the glass
queen ivy
for their use
vocal shard
Use it for application in manufacturing and expiremental development
queen ivy
but who knows what google and these tech giants are doing in the dark
its like how samsung has a weapons development segment
vocal shard
I mean... it's all public record. You can view their financials on .gov websites
I think they're just willing to sell their products to anyone willing to buy for the most part
Like google glass, they just sell it to them. Companies use it for whatever they want
I think Obama had a blackberry...
queen ivy
im not trying to catch onto conspiracy theories here
samsung was a bad example as they are public with it
vocal shard
If you had to guess, what do you think they would be doing?
queen ivy
STUFF

Hiyas all, has anyone seen a Bane MMD or avatar anywhere?
vocal shard
@opaque jewel truth be told in the spawn area with all the lights it was kimd of cute
crisp ruin
ive seen one or two bane avatars in game but i havent seen them online, so i assume they were made for them or they made it themselve
s
you could look for garrys mod bane avatars tho
im sure that exists
main knot
ahh okay ty
crisp ruin
and then u could convert that
vocal shard
U should have recorded that u spooked two of my friends

Hello
vocal shard
I can't log in with Steam, but I can log in with my VRChat account. Is this a server issue or is it possible I was banned?
granite drift
If you were banned, you wouldn't be able to log in with either account from what I understand. Probably just some issue with steam authentication. It's better to use the vrchat account anyways.
vocal shard
ups
dark sinew
I got the 2 softwares for text to speech, but I appear to be repeating what other players say. Any idea on how to fix this?
devout island
Do you have a mic?
Might be echo, or your text to speech program was configured incorrectly
queen ivy
if you are using voicemeeter
dont have your main computer input and output set to the voicemeeter
just have the game set to it
that is what i do if i want to play music
or anything of the sorts
dark sinew
I don't own a mic for my pc at the moment.
The softwares I'm using are Clownfish & VB-Audio
wraith lichen
lmao, you probably set input and output as the same using virtual cable
gritty peak
guys im stuck at loading screen everytime i start vrchat :C
it just says "VRchat" and spins around
plain current
Is it me or does it keep disconnecting when I'm in vr?
clever lichen
😃
thick escarp
Gonna go play VRchat after a long ass day. Are there any troublesome players I should keep in mind?
vocal shard
Hackers ofc
thick escarp
Well, that too, but I have been on edge with players abusing the particle system, mainly flashy "Super Saiyan" stuff and some other stuff.
Not that I'm epileptic
vocal shard
Day 5
Still cant login to VRChat properly
trying hard not to want to model a skirt just for an avatar
thorn compass
@vocal shard I have yet to have trouble logging in.
vocal shard
Oh, my shit just all hangs
thorn compass
Clear chat VR cache and see then
vocal shard
Literally my dude
it has nothing to do with that
It's a fresh install
and i cant even login
Cause it sits there waiting
thorn compass
Obviously something is messed up man. Either you or servers.
But I have yet to have any trouble with servers soo
vocal shard
Like i told Jett and Ruuu, I can download most stuff at 4-5mb/s
And when i was able to get in my ping was at about 13000
thorn compass
Man, I don't know why you are having so much trouble. I've never had that issue of yours.
keen hawk
vague slate
Would be pretty nice of you guys if you would do this small VRchat poll for me http://www.strawpoll.me/14961603
devout island
Impossible, that person would need to play the game for more than a year
versed cape
is it worth it to report hackers without video or photo evidence? or just a waste of time?
primal herald
its never a waste to report those people
daring echo
^
thorn compass
Oh yeah no. They would die.
versed cape
yeah but if they cant do anything about it without that evidence it would just make it take longer for them to get to reports with prooof that they can take action on
sucks i had my model copied 3 times today
all 3 times is on the one that ive put a ton of hours into as well heh
maybe ill just go hacker hunting
start recording go around flashing my cool stuff to get them to take it
be a hacker hunting vigilante
the one that just did it to me was like a russian girl and she was like begging me not to report her
small radish
wow flash your fancy models at me please.
but yea, report without evidence worth. even if they don't do anything right away, it kind of highlights them as potential hacker. as more reports come in, it will be simple decision.
versed cape
yeah. typically i dont care what other people do as long as it doesnt directly effect what im doing but in the case of stealing peoples work. its just not right. i spend a lot of time trying to find models that are unique and that ive either never seen or very rarely seen and then spend a fair amount of time customizing it even further
the model i had taken has tons of hours of animation work and cusotmization and ive literally never even seen someone use the same character let alone that model but now my model could be in an avatar room next week
small radish
yup. i 110% agree that stealing work is not right. might as well be copyright infringement
versed cape
i originally heard they could only access it on that avatar id, however, i was told from a reliable source that they can in fact save the model
small radish
I think they get the files, but not sure. I believe they can change to it whenever they want. Not like the temp ones you see people sharing.
versed cape
it bums me out. anytime someone asks me how i did something im always more than happy to help people and tell them how its done
small radish
that's even more low; to steal someone else's work to make profit off of. but best not to point fingers even tho there may be some truth to that.
versed cape
it encourages you to do your own work and then get your own creative avatars
i really hope that doesnt happen with mine
yeah im kinda sketched to use any of my good ones in public rooms after it happening 3 times today
well 3 times that i saw them do it
who knows how many times it actually happened
i like to be unique, there is a model that i really like and really want but i dont get it because so many people use it
i literally will search for hours to find stuff that ive never seen people with
small radish
unfortuantely can't really be easy fix unless dev put countermeasures, and/or actively hit them hard on this.
versed cape
its difficult
this was a small game with a moderate sized community and it literally exploded over night
im sure that they are working their butts off to try and handle everything
small radish
yea! I only joined like a week ago! I would be surprised if they optimize this game a lot and just seal up all the bugs/problems.
VAC i had bad experience with... heh
versed cape
look at PUBG for instance that game got so huge and even with all fo the anti hacking in place its still a nighmare full of hackers.
right, they just ruin my good time haha
small radish
hacking is basically finding loophole in the programming. In perfect world there be no useful hacks if all bases are covered.
versed cape
yeah tbh stealing that avatar from me has like really bummed me out
small radish
I would be too, and not be as enthusiastic working towards my next model :/
versed cape
i hope nothing comes of it where its distributed in any way
small radish
It's unfortunate, but just wait and hope for a fix
and as you mentioned, maybe keep the better ones around your private friends that you trust
versed cape
yeah i have a few that ive been working on that are gonna be pretty cool that i just dont even know if i want to finish right now
magic mango
Hello
small radish
oh but of course, don't mind sharing it with me. ;p
versed cape
im literally in the game right now on an untextured baby lol
small radish
I play on VR, so can't be in game and discord at same time... just got off. have work tomorrow ...
versed cape
while i wont give you my model i'd be happy to answer any questions on stuff that i know how to do
small radish
I don't want your model, but I would be interested in seeing it in game if it's that amazing
eye candy is always good
😎
versed cape
and i do share some stuff like ive sent people like clothing items and stuff
i just dont want a clone of me walking around
plus its so much more rewarding to create something yourself
small radish
yea! fortunately I only have like 1 model that was horribly put together since I haven't been playing long... so I don't have much fear of that happening
small radish
current system 'supposed' to somewhat do that. but apparently not tooo well
versed cape
there are so many people playing right now that hackers will outnumber developers
and they will poke and poke and poke until they find a way in
small radish
of course, it's difficult to cover all areas. But it's possible.
or even if just implement rigorous punishments can help set some people straight
'can'
versed cape
i need to find some websites where people sell vrchat avatars i want to monitor and see if someone tries to sell mine
a lot of hackers arent worried about a ban especially on a free game
even if its an ip ban thats easy enough to get around
small radish
yup, free games tend to have many more hacker
versed cape
kinda surprised me that this one was begging me not to report
she didnt seem to really know what she was doing.
like she copied it right in my face
and i was like wtf im getting a moderator and reporting you for stealing my avatar and she was like no please it was just for a second and switched off of it
small radish
ehh, as I haven't seen it I donno if she/he just innocent and see nothing wrong with it, trolling, or just mocking you. ;x
versed cape
yeah
and there are a lot of really great people in the community that are always willing to help
small radish
even if switch out of it... they will still have files unless they go in the folders to delete it ..
versed cape
they take the time out of their day to help people in all of the channels of this discord
i wouldnt be able to do half of the stuff ive done without them
and ive never turned anyone away that's asked me a question in game
on how to do something
small radish
well, there's always good and bad people. tho more 'good' people irl than online. The way I see it... people tend to be more honest with themselves online.
vocal shard
I like traps
versed cape
lol
small radish
they might make excuses like just trolling or just for fun, or it's just a game. but that's more their real self is the way I see it
queen ivy
there is a modded apk with a script for stealing models circulating on reddit
idk what happened to that though
versed cape
even i go and mess with people sometimes. but i dont take it to levels of ruining their fun
small radish
yea, most everyone is a bit mischievous on the inside. depends how far one takes it. ;p
versed cape
what i do most of the time is my gun has a flashlight on it so ill shine it on someone like a spotlight and then shut it off and watch them be like where did that light come from
lol
and anytime someone has been agitated by something that ive done or asked me to not do something im very respectful about it
90% of the time they're just like omg it was you the whole time how did you do that
small radish
xD
versed cape
i dont know why i find it so funny but its hard to tell its me because you cant see a source
like you would from a typical flashlight
small radish
wow, I need to learn how to be as creative too. one day one day
versed cape
but i did do that on purpose lol
im not even very creative
tbh i have hard time coming up with ideas
and i dont like to copy people
i wanted a gun i went and found a gun model that i thought looked cool and did it and i was like well this model has a flashlight attachment i wonder if i can add a light to it
small radish
not copying people is best. my first current avatar I had to take parts from people to make it, kind of
versed cape
and flashlight trolling was born
small radish
before this, I never used the tools necessary to create an avatar so I'm starting at step one...
versed cape
i had never used unity or blender before
ive done some modeling but new to all of the rest
shoot i know someone who is not even very computer savvy that has multiple well done rooms and really nice avatars
that i couldnt even walk through how to start remote desktop at one point
if she can do it anyone can haha
small radish
xD yea! of course. I just need time and inspiration.
versed cape
yup
vocal shard
Best way to get good real fast is to find a reason to do it instead
versed cape
i wanted it bad enough so i put the time in to figure out how to do it
got pretty frustrated along the way
lol but having the working product in the end is rewarding
small radish
I actually... before my VR even came in last week... I spent like about 3 weeks making and scraping stuff I was trying to put together...
geh, after that I have a take a long break before my next one...
versed cape
my problem is i start working on new ones before fishing other ones
so ive got a bunch of projecits im working on that are unfinished
but helps me kinda when i get stuck i just moveon to something else
and come back when i figure it out
oh man i could not figur eout how to trigger my gun audio on a separate trigger
i tried so many things
and so i just stopped and like it just popped into my head a few days later
i was like omg i think that will work and sure enough it did
versed cape
nah, just dedicated haha
honestly there are people out there that can do what ive done with my models in a matter of hours where ive put like 30-40 hours of work into my main model
but i didnt know what i was doing, had to use a lot of trial and error
small radish
I know! it's practice no doubt.
versed cape
for me its understanding what im doing. a lot of the tutorials out there just say check this box put this value in and dont explain why you're doing that and what the effect will be
and learning that as i do it is what helps me to understand it all
small radish
yup of course. if you understand it, it won't be just following some script. you can tinker with it as you please.
vocal shard
Documentations exist
versed cape
yeah, i've read a bunch of the unity stuff but im more of a visual learner
i can read one of those and still have no clue
but they can be helpful, honestly this discord has been the most helpful
literally every question ive asked here was answered right away
warped dew
Is avatar swapping broken?
versed cape
except 1
small radish
swapping? not that I know of? broken how so?
small radish
but yea, people who participate in this discord tends to be pretty helpful
I still have yet to play with more advanced animations and audio. maybe in the future
warped dew
Like on my screen when I change characters, it doesn't occur, but for other people, it does.
versed cape
oh yeah thats pretty normal during high peak times
if you change rooms it will update for you
warped dew
they should fix that though
small radish
Game not too optimized from what I seen.
fixing that is probably not too high a priority
versed cape
im sure they will.
magic mango
Hellooo
versed cape
typically problems get solved by priority
warped dew
ye
sage pewter
Some asshole named "deathly4" is running around in instance #2005 of the Presentation Room with a massive, cpu-choking effect
magic mango
Call mods
sage pewter
small radish
and/or block em
versed cape
yeah thats my problem with particles. you gotta be really careful what you do as you can easily do stuff like that...and then of course the people that do it maliciously
sage pewter
I had to block him, or my game probably would have crashed
Do I call mods in here or in game?
versed cape
like some guy had a animated blaster on a clone trooper and was just shooting it about in the pug but it was very poorly optimized and causing a lot of lag. he was obv proud of what he was able to make and wasnt trying to lag people out but its just so easy to do
if he is doing it maliciously you can report it
warped dew
!online
floral flaxBOT
There are 7387 users in VRChat currently
warped dew
oh it has died down
sage pewter
It is a reeeally big effect
magic mango
Mods sleep now
sage pewter
It's total noise
magic mango
dm them the picture
versed cape
he may not really know what he is doing either hey just be trying to make a cool effect
a lot of times if something starts lagging me out really bad if i just say something to the person doing it they usually will stop
and the if they dont i just block them heh
small radish
^
yea I'm fairly tolerant too. have not yet blocked any1. hackers I just don't like
versed cape
i had a really ba done the other day where you could see nothing but like rainbows moving everywhere
it made me super nauseous
everyone was pushed up against the wall staring at the wall cuz it was the only way you could not see it lol
small radish
wow, not something I'd like to experience in vr
versed cape
that was an obvious malicious attack
yeah i had to take my headset off and wait for it to stop
crazy that someone can actually cause you physical harm or illness now
small radish
yup
some people can easily get seizure and the likes with the more eccentric flashings
magic mango
virtual attack
small radish
best to avoid anything too overboard when making animations, unless that was the intent...
magic mango
friendly attack = Ugandan Knuckles
versed cape
yeah definitely. i try to be careful with particles
and always test stuff on my friends haha
willing participants
small radish
hahah yea, it's your friends, so it's fine. anything goes xD
versed cape
oh yeah
versed cape
me puking
magic mango
but I would have to
versed cape
but no i dont think i would ever get sick to someone trying out there particle system its only happened from people trying to crash people
but you will probably lag some people out testing them in public
small radish
same, I pretty tolerant of random things like motion sickness, and other stuff like that. But can't assume everyone else is.
versed cape
i am as well
uncut trail
had someone did porn particles :( ended up blocking and mutinh his butt
versed cape
i got sick a few times the first week i got vr
but i can sit in that thing for 12 hours straight doing whatever and it doesnt phase me anymore
small radish
I stand in that thing! so I can't go more than a few hours. haha
versed cape
kinda funny story i actually though that i had vr sickness for 4 days straight
small radish
I'm like... I sit all day... since it's VR, let's stand instead...
versed cape
i got super sick after the first time playing and then the next day while i was at work i was still feeling nauseous and continued for 4 days
uncut trail
《《 never have or own a vr due to vrry expensive prices in Australia :(
versed cape
i was like devastated that i wouldnt be able to play vr lol
like omg i just spent 800 on thsi thing and i cant even use it without getting sick, so in the first 5 days i owned it i only used it once
small radish
I just felt a little disconnect 'with reality' after trying vr, but that's about it
versed cape
well i didnt really think about the fact that i had just gotten new glasses
small radish
ohhh!
versed cape
after 4 days it finally clicked and had them look at it and the spots on my glasses were way off
soft turret
nothing anymore, though
versed cape
and it was what was making me sick lol
soft turret
thank goodness
versed cape
but umm submautica made me queezy
grim hill
i know that if i don't eat anything before getting into vr i start to feel sick after a few hours but other them that im fine with it (other then when i started)
small radish
lol, I have glasses but I don't use em. no such worry for I
versed cape
and obduction did
well i dont use my glasses with the headset
putting it on 62 makes me see clearly
uncut trail
so atm looking imto buying vr for vrchat wondering if the new window mixed reality or save up for occulus or vive
small radish
@grim hill funny thing is this weekend. I ordered pizza so I eat like 4-6 slices then get into VR right away. xD donno how long i gonna stay in there
magic mango
you can adjust VR Lenses?
versed cape
yeah
magic mango
I never had VR
small radish
and I already planning to buy my next headset...
versed cape
idk if i can ever play a racing game on a monitor again
uncut trail
life changing ?
versed cape
absolutely
grim hill
i would wait a bit for the vive pro to come out to get the standed one cheeper (as long as it drops in price)
versed cape
i completely forget that im sitting in my living room
grim hill
with good headphones you have no idea where you are in the real world
versed cape
the reason you get sick in vr is because your eyes are telling your brain one thing but your other senses arent registering like movement
when you turn in a game
and your body doesnt move
small radish
I'm waiting on the new PIMAX headsets set to release in Q2 or 3... 200 FOV... perspective wise... current headsets about 100 FOV....
versed cape
it sends contradicting signals to your brain
grim hill
thats why i don't go on any rides in vr
uncut trail
all vr headset are over 700 bucks
versed cape
some people will have a hard time
but most people after using it for a few sessions
will typically not have any problems
frame drop is the only thing that really gets me
grim hill
but i would still highly recommend a vr headset
versed cape
most people in vrchat dont have vr so dont care when they do particle effects that cause a little lag
but when you start getting sick from it when people do it you'll prob be more careful haha
grim hill
yeah you start to run as soon as it starts
versed cape
if i was sitting looking at a screen id just be irritated that my game was lagging. its a whole new level when you get physically ill from it
but yeah feeling like you're in another world and forgetting where you really are is definitely life changing
grim hill
hell yeah one of the best things i have got for myself
versed cape
i have a fear of open water. i get that fear in vr as well
when i jump off of a high point and start to fall
finite trout
Pokes head out from behind wall a-are the hackers gone yet?
versed cape
it feels like your stomach is rising up like it would if you were actually falling
grim hill
standing on something high and looking down
uncut trail
so would window mixed reality be good for vr chat ?
versed cape
you mean like augmented reality?
grim hill
i don't know to be honnest i've got a vive myself so it's hard to say
versed cape
im not sure how AR would be implemented into vrc
vocal shard
You can look up Blunty on youtube, he uses one of the wmr headsets in VRChat
finite trout
hmm
versed cape
i think that free walking, live mapping VR would be the most immersive
finite trout
My question is why do the hackers even do anything to VRchat
versed cape
saying that without ever experiencing AR however
versed cape
being able to do things that other people cant
uncut trail
i seen video test of it and they look good yet eb games here has $999 for htc vive ;(
versed cape
true
finite trout
literally just make a plane under your character and repeatedly jump anywhere
versed cape
i would say the main thing they can gain from it is your models
finite trout
But then it's just not even about hacking that's just lazy
there are already worlds full of avatars to use
versed cape
they can also sell your models to people after they've taken them
finite trout
go get one it takes two seconds
Oh right, they download it
but then that's only a problem for people who's avatars are like, bad for public worlds
versed cape
yeah they will still models that people put a lot of hours into creating custom animations and effects then go sell it
finite trout
oh right
versed cape
or gain the finished product without having to put in the effort
versed cape
yeah 😦
solar forge
tomorrow is my B-Day; just wanted to let this amazing community know~
versed cape
im pretty bummed out about mine being taken...ive got a lot of hours in it and it was a 1 of a kind avatar
happy birthday
versed cape
right
finite trout
i wanna go meet new people
versed cape
im afraid to use any of my models in public right now
and the help me to meet people more easily
finite trout
enjoy doing things other than hiding in a corner and asking "are the hackers gone?" repeatedly
grim hill
@uncut trail yeah not cheep here in Australia i ended up getting mine from Harvey Norman about 1300 for the vive pro head set and 3 year product care

wow damn :(

it's at the point where my girlfriend won't get on until VRchat just uses the workshop for uploads
versed cape
hey you can get a rift for $400

does anybody know what the spammy portals that never expire are about?
versed cape
thats about what a console would cost you

That be usd its around 600 aud
