[hollow tendon]

it's that the real floor is where the avatars knees are at

while the game floor as well as my feet are way below that

[rocky kite]

that happens based on the skeleton of oddly proportioned avatars in my experience

everything scaled oddly?

[hollow tendon]

it does this with any standard sizes avatars i have

while the really tall ones can reach not only to the floor but under it

[rocky kite]

haveyou adjusted your height settings in-game

[hollow tendon]

yeah and the only way i can reach low stuff is if my avatars in practcally inside of the floor doing that

the avatars feet are flat on the floor (not on toes or crouched) so you would think my feet should be lined up but no

[rocky kite]

how tall is the avatar compared to you

[cloud tide]

can someone help me in #world-development

[hollow tendon]

should be about my height (5.9ish)

this isn't a huge game breaking issue but it's immersion breaking and i'd like to fix it if i can

[rocky kite]

if you don't mind come to Avatar Testing! #47133

[hollow tendon]

ok one sec

but it's just a bit annoying

[vale palm]

whats up with the servers, downloads seem to be super slow

[steep hinge]

pretty unrelated. but does someone know the way in the maze of the jinx avatr world?

[thin sandal]

Does vrchat plan to support the 2018 version of unity in the future?

🤔

[south oyster]

🤔

[indigo fern]

Real question, is there an avatar of the Twinkie guy yet?

[covert chasm]

@thin sandal In the future? Yes 😛 When?

[umbral reef]

As soon as the Dark universe movie series will be a hit ?

[indigo fern]

Or when hl3 comes out

[umbral reef]

Its confirmed that wont happen though

[indigo fern]

Oh hey, this may be a sign then

[thin sandal]

@covert chasm 😏 how's playmaker integration coming along btw my dude

No meme

[covert chasm]

[south oyster]

lool

[covert chasm]

you may notice a pattern

[thin sandal]

It's blizzard all over again

[covert chasm]

blizzard is smart

very very smart

[thin sandal]

Still waiting for that dance studio

[umbral reef]

No promises means no broken dreams

[indigo fern]

Wait a minute, we love you Tupper

[south oyster]

I can't wait for that SAO world to get updated with playmaker 😄

[thin sandal]

It's only been 10 years

[south oyster]

i was killing slimes the other day

[thin sandal]

😂

[pliant basalt]

@steep hinge Maybe...

[vocal shard]

GGO mini game is gon be fun too. Iirc, Silica already has some stuff in it.

[tidal aspen]

vrchat will upgrate to unity 2018 in 2020 :^)

[blissful glacier]

Is it fine to use Google cardboard for be?

Other than being heavy on my face.

[south cedar]

How do i reach an CM/GM to talk about the constant hacker attacks that are happening in my friends world?

ive read that we cant DM the admins so idk what to do.

[umbral reef]

#moderation-reports

[south cedar]

Oh great, thanks Oclac.

By the way, does anyone know how to deal with your avatar being stolen? How do we delete it for the hackers to don't use it?

because i deleted mines and they still have it :T

[vocal shard]

Theyll lose it when they log in again. Though, they'll lose everything when you report them.

[south cedar]

i see.

[white cairn]

The Vive Pro price is a bad joke

[south cedar]

Its getting really annoying having those abusive shaders that fill your screen with porn every time

and force crashing

and ppl stealing avs

_>

[umbral reef]

How? Just because the price aint targeted at the average consumer doesnt mean its stupid

The first Tesla was also far from a every human product...
The newest version are getting close to that though

[vocal shard]

Make sure to turn on panic mode when there's a bad shader, avatar and such

[umbral reef]

First need money to product a product cheaper 🤷

[white cairn]

They already produced a complete product for cheaper

[umbral reef]

Was is the same product

[south cedar]

How do i do that? @vocal shard

[white cairn]

The issue is the lack of a bundle of any kind

[vocal shard]

Which one do you have? Desktop, vive, or oculus?

[south cedar]

Vive

[white cairn]

The price would be sane if that was what a complete kit cost

[umbral reef]

If you already complain about the 800 euro price a 1.2K bundel or alike would just piss people off more

[tender sapphire]

will VRChat be released for the NES?

[vocal shard]

Yes.

[white cairn]

It is £1300 for a bundle that includes a redundant headset

That is why it is absurdly stupid

[umbral reef]

1300 pound? what

[vocal shard]

It’s hard to activate panic mode in the rift sometimes when you lose all your frames n stuff

[umbral reef]

I got mine for 650 euro..

[south cedar]

its 5000 R$ in brasil.

[white cairn]

£800 for the Pro, £500 for the base model bundle

[umbral reef]

Brand new and with a few games

Ow you count it like that

[south cedar]

@vocal shard how do i do that? which hotkey is it?

[umbral reef]

But you could just buy the headset, the controls and towers lose...

[south cedar]

is there even a hotkey? lol

[umbral reef]

Dont need to buy two headsets 😂

[white cairn]

It costs more

[vocal shard]

Depends on what you’re using, keyboard and mouse?

[tender sapphire]

@south cedar 5000 robux. pretty good deal

[hasty wedge]

LMAO

[steep hinge]

@pliant basalt oh that was sassy

[white cairn]

According to HTC each Vive controller is over $100 usd alone

[south cedar]

@vocal shard im using Vive.

[white cairn]

It is cheaper to buy a bundle that includes the old headset than it is to buy a Pro and the needed parts seperately

[vocal shard]

Hm, not sure but for rift when you open your menu just press a button aiming at your info under the actual menu

That does it for me

[white cairn]

This is why the new orice is a bad joke

That is what I was getting at

[south cedar]

i see

[vocal shard]

Both triggers or grips then both menu buttons @south cedar

[umbral reef]

ow lmao well i kinda get it

But still

[white cairn]

Basically either HTC drops the price of Vive parts down or nobody in their right mind is buying a Pro who is not a baller

And that sucks because the Vive and Rift are far from ideal headsets. Especially the Vive

[late dock]

Hey guys. I've been looking for a way to forcibly disable post processing in vrchat on maps that have it enabled. Is there any way to do this, be it launch options, modifying nvidia driver settings, etc, that can achieve this?

[white cairn]

In addition: that £500 old Vive bundle you buy? Actually obsolete within six months, all parts in it

Because Lighthouse 2 and the next controller

[umbral reef]

Doesnt mean its instantly obsolete
Also i still think they want to easy people into people buying the new products and mainly have it be used by things like hospitals and companies

[white cairn]

And then you look like a moron when HTC reveal the Vive 2 bundle of the pro and new lighthouses and controllers for about £800

Later this year

[late dock]

Yeah don't buy Vive Pro until a complete tracking 2.0 bundle is out

[weary harness]

^

[white cairn]

HTC need to be forcing down price, not up

[umbral reef]

I can speak for the hospital part myself as i was forced to research it enough and got first hand experience with it irl
They only care about the headset... For most things the controlers are worthless

[weary harness]

Unless you have a complete system already that is

[white cairn]

Nah even with a complete system

The Pimax 8k is going to be exceptionally disruptive, and that makes sense as a solo product

[weary harness]

I honestly hope they pull off their promise

Because it will finally shake up some things

[white cairn]

They probably will do, but not at launch

[late dock]

Pimax is looking more appealing. I hope it is good.

[white cairn]

SteamVR is the future soooo

[nova flower]

how the fuck do i move around in unity

[umbral reef]

Well not like you do in blender 👌

Its confusing

as fuck

if you are used to blender

[weary harness]

Knuckles + Pimax 8K + leg trackers

all with tracking 2.0

mmmm

[late dock]

8 lighthouses.

[vocal shard]

What if I am a blender

[nova flower]

well how do i move?

[umbral reef]

Middle mouse is move around

[nova flower]

nope

[umbral reef]

Right click is turn camera around

[late dock]

Sounds like your unity is broken.

[umbral reef]

It aint for ya?

[nova flower]

nothing

[umbral reef]

Wait what screen are ya in

https://i.imgur.com/AW0vlsA.png

Like you did not press the start button and get thrown to the game one?

If so just click the button again (or if you are uploading an avatar it works the same)

But then you just click the scene tab

[nova flower]

wew

idk why it was in game

[floral quiver]

My vrchat keeps bugging on me and i dont know why

[umbral reef]

Well with that info we cant help ;p

Gotta give us more information

[floral quiver]

I load into a world like Void. It loads me in fine but name tags and avatars do not load. Then all sudden everyone Including me and the Menu disappears and i can only quit by doing Alt+F4

[nova flower]

it was in game

how can u not see my chat

xd

[floral quiver]

And it keeps doing it even after restarting

[umbral reef]

Tried clearing the (fuck forgot the name dispentry help)

Im to brain death to play tech support

[floral quiver]

Did i clear the data in Local Low. Yes i did

[umbral reef]

Ay cool

Well not really as that isnt the problem then :/

But reported it yet within #user-support-old or send an email towards [e-mail]?

[vague hemlock]

You can probably post about it in the #user-support-old channel. You might also want to have your log ready to upload 😉 Normally name tags are hidden with that ctrl+n shortcut. But this seems rather unique...

Also definitely shooting an email to [e-mail] with a log would be a good plan of action 😄

[floral quiver]

It seems to be doing it with worlds with music cas in my task manager a process called Youtube video downloader launches about 10 or something

[hollow tendon]

so my blender is broken i guess

[vocal shard]

So people are stealing avatars again, has there been any news on this?

[floral quiver]

Seemed to have worked now. Odd

[hasty wedge]

they have been able to a week after the private thing but thats not what "private' was made for

[little relic]

Bit of a dilemma. Which video card is better?
CPU is an i7
https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16814202293

https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16814125901

[weary harness]

I would go for the 1060

[umbral reef]

Both are really alike from what i know

[weary harness]

Both are really similar in performance, but 1060 6GB pulls ahead in some games

[civic frigate]

Anyone know any good gaming labtops that can run VRChat?

[inner cape]

dont

buy

a bloody

[weary harness]

laptop

[inner cape]

laptop

[civic frigate]

That's what she wants tho ;-;

[weary harness]

Build a tiny mini pc

[inner cape]

DONT

[weary harness]

XD

[civic frigate]

D:

[inner cape]

if she wants a laptop, buy a pc anyway

[civic frigate]

But if she wwweeereee to buy a labtop pc

which one would you suggest?

<w>

[weary harness]

A PC one

[inner cape]

then you wont live a happy life with her

[civic frigate]

LOL

[weary harness]

Kidding

Give me a second

[inner cape]

"VR Ready" laptops

are legit on the oculus and vive websites

yer dummy

[civic frigate]

Oo

[umbral reef]

If you want a Vr ready laptop

Dont get one

[civic frigate]

Sorry I'm muchness dumbness. THought I'd get peoples opinions.

[inner cape]

he wont listen

[coarse crest]

[civic frigate]

I don't think she cares too much for VR

[inner cape]

we told him

[umbral reef]

And just waste like 1.4K on a gaming laptop thats stronger

Vr ready is more of a meme then anything else lmao

[civic frigate]

She wants to be able to run VRChat on desktop mode

[weary harness]

Shame

[umbral reef]

Then just get anything a semi modern i5 and its all g

Just dont get a working laptop with an i3

[weary harness]

Just get something that has a GTX 1060 or better and i7

[coarse crest]

Does it have to be a laptop

[weary harness]

You can get good ones for around $850 or so

Whats the budget?

[inner cape]

i5 6600k + 1050ti

and there ya go

[civic frigate]

I'll ask the budget, and she's pretty stuck on a labtop.

[weary harness]

i5 6500 + 1060 would be better

[inner cape]

desktop mode only

[weary harness]

@civic frigate yeah thats what I mean, budget for a laptop

[civic frigate]

budget is 1,300 usd

[weary harness]

Ghost stop spamming

[inner cape]

LAPTOP

[weary harness]

[10:39 PM] Zurui: Is that not enough?

You can get a pretty good one give me a second

[umbral reef]

Well you can get a fairly nice laptop with that ... Like as nice as me

[inner cape]

LAPTOOOOOP

[umbral reef]

So not perfect but pretty good still

[weary harness]

GHOST STOP IT

[civic frigate]

She just needs something that can run games.

[weary harness]

Damn, I feel like im talking to myself

[civic frigate]

They don't have to be on the highest settings.

[inner cape]

kek

[umbral reef]

What type of games though?
Like Fallout 4 stuff or sims 4 and vrchat

[civic frigate]

I did strongly suggest she get a PC regardless of wanting something easy to take around.

[inner cape]

1060 ti it is then

[weary harness]

Let me just say this. A entry level gaming laptop is like $800

[civic frigate]

Yeah, games like that.

[umbral reef]

well shit example as sims 4 is badly optimized really

[hasty wedge]

dont need a 1400$ laptop to play farmville

[weary harness]

For that price you can get a really good laptop

Example 1 - https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-i7-7700HQ-1060-6GB-G3-571-77QK/dp/B06Y4GZS9C/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1521578426&sr=1-1&keywords=Gaming+laptop

But try find a 17" one

[civic frigate]

I sent her that example

[inner cape]

she probably will say "looks good"

and wont spend anymore time

searching for other options

[civic frigate]

Nah she is searching the options.

She wants to buy from Best buy incase she needs to return it.

[weary harness]

^

[civic frigate]

I sent her the graphics and specs that she will want to ask them for.

[weary harness]

For that price I would expect umm

[civic frigate]

They should be able to find her a comfortable fit, but she needs to have the information or she'll get garbage.

[weary harness]

i7 7700 (or the new ones)
16GB DDR4 RAM
GTX 1060 (or better)
256GB SSD

[civic frigate]

I'll let her know

[weary harness]

Last example (on the edge of budget) is https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-SabrePro-15W-KB3-Notebook-i7-7700HQ/dp/B073WCTLTP?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAIPHVZTVH6LZ5BFZA&tag=hawk-future-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B073WCTLTP&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ascsubtag=trd-2043234743-20

[civic frigate]

I'll send it to her, thanks for the help

[weary harness]

np

[soft skiff]

it has to be a laptop?

[weary harness]

She wants a laptop, she gets a laptop XD

thats how the world works

[soft skiff]

Well, that last link to the Gigabyte laptop, that's not a horrible system for the price.

[weary harness]

Its not, but the hate for laptops is all that is going into a 15" screen

[tacit plank]

Don't think the CPU is good because it has i7 in the name

[soft skiff]

my daily driver when I'm not in the shop is a 15' Samsung chromebook 3 and I'm totally happy with it.

[tacit plank]

They also have shit i7's, look up benchmarks to be sure. (It might be a good CPU, I'm just saying to be careful with laptops)

[weary harness]

Yeah but that i7 is the mobile equivalent of the 7700

[tacit plank]

M2 ssd though, that's nice

[weary harness]

Some have terrible ones though. Like you see an i7 but it only has 4 cores 0 threads XD

Ohh... just stumbled upon a 1080 SLI setup

[tacit plank]

I don't know anything about Phone hardware, other than the fact that it sucks. (My phone can't send texts without lagging)
I don't use my phone because 90% of calls are from telemarketers (the rest are from my mom)

SLI gives you the same memory (2 4GB GPU's is still 4GB of vram), but use twice the power and release twice the heat. Also some games don't work well with SLI.
It's doable but I'd recommend getting a stronger card instead

[soft skiff]

VR isn't exactly SLI friendly

[weary harness]

Sadly

I dont think any VR game uses SLI

[inner cape]

gtx 1080 ti for each eye

why not

xD

[weary harness]

Thats like a Pimax slogan

[soft skiff]

There are experiences that support VRWorks/LiquidVR, I just wish more developers did.

[weary harness]

Might need a GTX1080Ti (in SLI)... might

[inner cape]

4K + 4K = 8K

[weary harness]

Well to be fair, its not completely wrong

But its completely wrong

[inner cape]

if im gonna buy 2 4K monitors

they wont be 8K

[weary harness]

You would need 4 4K monitors

well depends

[tacit plank]

You wouldn't have the height of an 8K monitor without 4 of them

[weary harness]

3 4K monitors

3.2 4K monitors

7680×4320

[tacit plank]

8K isn't 8192? Who names these things?

[soft skiff]

marketing people

[tacit plank]

Good point

[weary harness]

Its how maths works

because 4K monitors aren't actually 4K

they are actually like 3.8K

[tacit plank]

I think some of them are

But standard ones aren't I guess

[weary harness]

Its just how tech works XD

3,840x2,160 is the "4K standard"

But real 4K is about 4,096x2,160

[soft skiff]

And we need about '16k' per eye to simulate what we see naturally.

[weary harness]

well.. not really but yeah umm

Its like monitor refresh rate. Eyes dont work in numbers

[soft skiff]

Ok

let me show my work

Once you get to that level of pixel density, you're exceeding the rod and cone density of the human eye.

[weary harness]

Please do, I work in experimental stuff

Thanks to LG its actually possible

[vocal shard]

Uploading down?

[soft skiff]

But I can't honestly say if I'll see a 16k or 20k display in an HMD in my lifetime.

By the time we get there we'll most likely be using lightfields to project directly onto the back of the retina.

[weary harness]

I was about to say

8K per an eye is probably our screens limit for VR

By the time thats mainstream enough. We will be moving onto a different way to input imagery

[soft skiff]

exactly

[tacit plank]

We can probably go further, but we can't really see further

[soft skiff]

well, the human eye can only see 24fps

[tacit plank]

xD You're joking right?

[weary harness]

ofc they are joking

[umbral reef]

we dont even fucking see in fps

[soft skiff]

of course

[umbral reef]

frames aint a thing for an eye

[weary harness]

anybody that believes that probably thinks the earth is flat

[keen chasm]

The earth is a computer

[weary harness]

This is VR

We are creating VR in VR

[tacit plank]

Anyone who belives it has never tried a 144Hz monitor.
Also I think the next thing we'll get is better colors. We had some "true color" stuff once but that died out

[weary harness]

we will only realize it when we wake up and realize we didn't get a good score in life simulator

[tacit plank]

If life has a scoreboard I'll be laughed at when I get out, that's for sure.
And yeah, the earth is a computer build by mice

[weary harness]

inb4 we once created a game like life simulator, but forgot a killswitch. The only way out is to replicate the same VR device in VR

and we are yet to do it

[indigo fern]

What do you think we're doing now?

We've been trapped for eons, I want to go home

[weary harness]

I think I need to stay away from caffeine for a bit

[tacit plank]

Physics works like a computer simulation, so that's pretty cool

[weary harness]

Sorry Kirito

[tacit plank]

I take offense to that

[weary harness]

Hahahaha

[tacit plank]

Fuck I can't spell
Edit: Fuck I killed the VRChat chats

[soft skiff]

I used to laugh at such a 'matrix' idea

but then I dug into the background of how the Elite: Dangerous stellar forge and BGS engine work, and now I'm not so sure.

[tacit plank]

The "Big bang" theory started as a joke 😛

[indigo fern]

I could go for a big bang right about now

[weary harness]

"guys haahhaha watch this 2.6 trillion poloygon model and animat-"

"JIM DONT DO IT!!!! JIM NOOOOO-"

poef. Thus the universe was created.

[indigo fern]

Sounds like the universe crashed

[tacit plank]

Well, regions with many things happening move at a slower speed to compensate (or something like that)
(gravity bending time, time going slower the faster you move, etc)

[indigo fern]

Yea that's relativity

[tacit plank]

But if you call it "lag compensation" then it still makes sense

[weary harness]

In other news. I love and hate reddit

[glass harbor]

yall ever heard of the tsuki project?

[tacit plank]

Reddit is alright, but the Reddit staff disgusts me

[umbral reef]

reddit staff aint a thing
Each sub reddit has there own staff

plenty are shit but eh

[tacit plank]

Reddit staff is a thing

They govern the overall rules, and kick mods out of their subreddit if they disagree with the admins

[umbral reef]

they oten dont get to do shit beside banning illegal activities (Cp) or Tos breaking

They cant make an story about there action unless they got permission so

[soft skiff]

Reddit just keeps my hate for humanity nice and topped off

Take the Noitom Hi5 glove announcement

that I just got done reading through in /r/vive

[tacit plank]

They don't care about CP, they care about PR

[soft skiff]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/85vpmd/our_hi5_vr_glove_just_launched_for_the_htc_vive/dw0j4bw/

[tacit plank]

New rule against "Involuntary porn" so now users have to prove that people in nudes told them it was alright to post

[soft skiff]

In what world does that guy live in that that is deemed a reasonable response...

[tacit plank]

Photoshopped porn is banned now too, also all sexually suggestive content involving minors (which includes stories and anime)

But there's still subreddits dedicated to images of dead kids, and the admins are fine with it

[umbral reef]

One thing is agaisnt the law

The other isnt

So its not that odd

[tacit plank]

Anime isn't illegal

[umbral reef]

Also plenty of people dying reddits are closing/being removed/banning

The thing that got banned within anime is though

If your realllyy fair

[tacit plank]

Neither is the novel "Lolita" or videogames with sexualized minors (like Tera), or fanfiction, etc

[rich river]

Also, although avatar theft has been damaged ...
It does not make sense to make it private setting ... 😦

[umbral reef]

Why not?

They can set it public for avatar worlds

[tacit plank]

And since when? the subreddit called "watchpeopledie" is still up

[soft skiff]

not for much longer

[umbral reef]

^

Mods of that reddit told themself

[tacit plank]

I promise you, they're not going to ban all gore content

[umbral reef]

You sure?

Reddit likes investors

[soft skiff]

I don't understand that one unless it's a 'getting rid of things specifically just to get rid of it' motive by the admins

[umbral reef]

and not getting a media shitstorm

They got media slack from a really bad video

So they take action

[soft skiff]

because while there are quite a few pornography laws on the books, there's really no law against gore and death

[umbral reef]

Also the reddit ToS kinda dont allow subreddits with gore and ect

Or they semi do

but at the same time dont

[soft skiff]

and even then, 'reddit' is a globally used site, and pornogrpahy laws vary all over the world

[tacit plank]

It started with celebrity fakes being banned (because celebrities complained)

[umbral reef]

Cant clorifie it and you can claim those subs do that

@tacit plank uuu the bigger action got taken when they got DMCA takedown requests and when they got lawsuits from personal users

People didnt just use celebs

[tacit plank]

They banned every subreddit related to celebrity fakes and celebrity look-alikes

[umbral reef]

Because they where all part of the deepfake

The other fake things also got removed

And communities often got a stern talk to

[soft skiff]

One thing working at large ISPs over the years has taught me is that when your userbase is large, it's nearly impossible to proactively police what your users do that violates your ToS

it turns into a game of wack-a-mole

[tacit plank]

The mods are just incompetent

[soft skiff]

especially so on systems like reddit where it takes 30 seconds to make a new user account, or new subreddit

[umbral reef]

lmao if you just run a community thats large enough to attackt active trolls you understand that if someone really wants to break rules and mess with people

[tacit plank]

Every Subreddit has its own mods, it moderates itself

[umbral reef]

All you can do it take action after or harsh locks on new users

[tacit plank]

They made anime about the ToS, it has nothing to do with trolls

[umbral reef]

But you think people should be fully allowed to post hate speach and racism 🤔

Because that is when they also take action

[tacit plank]

Everything legal should be allowed

[umbral reef]

That anime is often really fucking insane and suggestive for western audiences is a known thing

Its the same with this game for how suggestive things can go

[soft skiff]

We've had this discussion before, and it made everybody get shitwhippy when I said the solution would be to get rid of all anonymity online.

[tacit plank]

Anime is insane? Since when?

And you want to ban art now?

[umbral reef]

Moike you know the us government asked for ALL phones in a specific location recently because of a single crime?

Thats a light example of how bad that idea can get

[soft skiff]

But then we're moving towards 'Gattica: The Online Experience' with that solution.

[indigo fern]

save some popcorn for me

[umbral reef]

I might be a negative person when it comes to goverment and internet

But im pretty sure i got all the reason to be

if google or other private companies dont give a fuck about me and just see me as data

why would a government not?

[tacit plank]

In Scotland they're jailing a guy for teaching his dog the nazi salute

[soft skiff]

@umbral reef Given that kind of power, which they already have in spades, they will always abuse it under the pretext of 'it's for your own safety and protection'

[umbral reef]

China will lock down 'bad' citizens from trains soon

[soft skiff]

Well, here's hoping for a blockchain based decentralized non-govt-owned universal identity system.

[umbral reef]

Big brother is a proper thing within china
The eu is slowly closing in with that dumb shit and the USA is legit just going back in time with there internet

Yea but then goverments look at china and there neato actions taken

or they make laws against it...

[tacit plank]

The government loves power and hates your freedom

[umbral reef]

The current goverment in your country might be owkay and not do realllllyyy retarded things towards its citizens.. But the next group might not.. or the one after that

And by then its to late

[tacit plank]

That it's already illegally spying on everybody (snowden files) and want to torture people who disgree with them (snowden) should worry you

[soft skiff]

Mr. Musk needs to huck his LEO cubesats up into space pronto and get us all on internet V2

[umbral reef]

plenty of companies are working on that

Mainly to just mine data from more people and give them more users so more power

[soft skiff]

I'll trust a .corp over a .gov any day

[umbral reef]

Its internet though really 🤷 But we should have went to #general-media ages ago anyway

Because of that ima be sleeping

[soft skiff]

I'd say this discussion has less to do with politics and more to do with the future of the internet as a whole.

[indigo fern]

good night

[tacit plank]

I agree, it's not a Trump-debate or something like that.
This chat is never about VRChat, but if anyone comments with something VRChat-related I will switch topic to that

[inner cape]

Oi

[weary harness]

I should have gone to random like 7 months ago

[inner cape]

LUL

Its annoying to go back and forth

All the time

[weary harness]

We wanted everything to be so much easier with discord

[inner cape]

Escpecially consudering these channels are nearly the same

[weary harness]

but what we did was create a network of servers and chaos

[inner cape]

Idk

Discord is great regardless

[tacit plank]

Could be better, but it beats Skype, that's for sure

[weary harness]

Its great

but I bit something and am In 45+ servers

[inner cape]

Public lobby = random chat

And its a fact

[indigo fern]

well, we can still look at loli profile pics

[weary harness]

What

[tacit plank]

Not sexualized ones

[inner cape]

Wair what

[weary harness]

What?

[indigo fern]

of course not sexualized

[tacit plank]

Why "of course"?

[weary harness]

Error

[inner cape]

High on coffee

He's

[weary harness]

error please restart ghostR.exe

[tacit plank]

If I send a private message to someone with legal content and nobody but us two will see it, then why should Discord police it?

[inner cape]

It shouldnt

[weary harness]

Key word is Legal

[indigo fern]

oh they do that to dms too? snap

[weary harness]

it wont police it

[tacit plank]

Lolicon is legal

[weary harness]

Thats one heck of a grey area im not gonna touch

[tacit plank]

Well, it's trying, loli is against the ToS

[inner cape]

Hentai is art (as long as its not furry)

[tacit plank]

I don't like most Furry content, but I still support their right to make it

[inner cape]

Eh

I dont support it but i dont hate it

As long as they are at bay im fine

[weary harness]

Im gonnaa... just

[tacit plank]

Can't just have your own weird fetishes and advocate for banning everybody elses

[weary harness]

nope

[inner cape]

XD

You broke m8?

Too weird for ye?

[weary harness]

TWF5YmU=

[tacit plank]

Keyboard mashing or base64?

[weary harness]

Base 64 of course

[indigo fern]

Supporting means actually helping, i'm too lazy to support anything

[weary harness]

I mean, I am a fully fledged nerd

[tacit plank]

Then accept it, at least?

[weary harness]

Never said I dont accept it XD

Its just

[indigo fern]

yea sure, i don't mind anything

[weary harness]

to each their own in private

[tacit plank]

Yeah, that's my point, people should be able to do what they want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else

[weary harness]

And they can as far as I know

[tacit plank]

Not on Reddit or Discord (According the the ToS)

[weary harness]

They wont police things like that unless the person you sent it to reports you. Is what I think.

[tacit plank]

For now, I guess (on Discord), but good luck trying it on Reddit

[vocal shard]

anyone having issues logging into their steam account on vrchat?

[steep hinge]

Hey what happens to models tagged sexual in public worlds?

will they get censored?

[dawn plinth]

Is there a working page/document showing world status if they are added or not anywhere?

The old link doesn't work anymore

[tacit plank]

The avatar tags are super old, and as far as I know they won't change anything

[stable folio]

they shouldn't

But they're mostly covering their own ass

They basically don't want to get the government coming down on them if people are sending pizza no toppings to each other

[tacit plank]

Replying to earlier comments?

[stable folio]

Oh gosh darnit, yeah

I guess my thing didn't update

Now i just look silly

[tacit plank]

Things like that have never been allowed, what they're doing now is banning harmless things that they don't like

[lilac swan]

The avatar tag boxes are an old relic of the past, currently they are redundant.

[tacit plank]

The current rules are no unprecise that most anime screenshots are against the ToS now in theory

[stable folio]

Of Discord or just this server?

[tacit plank]

Oh, I was talking about Reddit, but it also goes a bit for Discord (for example, the bath scene in monogatari)

[stable folio]

I havent read discord's ToS in a while, but i do know technically a lot of things are illegal, even saying things like 'kys' is bannable

Ah, Reddit is scum to begin with

[vocal shard]

hm. weird sudden problem with rift today

VRchat only recognizes one of my hands

sometimes it links my avatars left hand to my right controller

but it never recognizes both

steam VR shows both controllers connected

[soft skiff]

reboot all the things

[vocal shard]

ok

ill try that again ig

[soft skiff]

I was just in TheWaveVR and had to reboot due to audio weirdness on Oculus/SteamVR startup

[vocal shard]

also when i try to launch from inside RIFT it launches nonVR mode

[soft skiff]

Some things act weird when launched directly from Oculus Dash

I tried firing off TheWaveVR from Dash without SteamVR up and running already and that caused my audio issues, which a reboot fixed.

[vocal shard]

Thats one way to test a new CPU, hopped into VRchat and someone used a partical effect that crashes PCs

plus side, I didn't crash

[soft skiff]

since I have the HMD out I should hop on

[tepid spindle]

can i play vrchat on my phone? or do i need to buy the fake app?

[soft skiff]

more data needed

do you want to use your phone as the HMD and stream VRChat from your PC to your phone?

or you want to try and run VRChat on your phone

[tepid spindle]

on my phone

Fake apps everywhere....

including a 10 dollar "officul app"

and that misspellong is theres

not mine

fuk

[soft skiff]

I think you're out of luck running VRChat native on the phone

[tepid spindle]

🤔

but the phone is basicly a pc that can use vr

how can it not be possiable

[soft skiff]

so many ways to respond to that statement, the mind swims with possibilities

let's keep it simple, there's no VRChat application for Android or iOS

[tepid spindle]

i know that...

but why not do it

is it too much data?

[soft skiff]

You would have to ask the developers.

[tepid spindle]

mmm

ok

[vocal shard]

You can use VRChat on your phone

You just need a really beefy PC

[soft skiff]

@vocal shard I'm getting the impression he/she/it only has a phone.

[vocal shard]

and it includes the most jank of setups

o lul

[rapid igloo]

"it"

XD

[vocal shard]

yea vrchat is way too intensive for any phone

[topaz lance]

great gotta learn to decimate now XD The model I want is literally 38 polys over the limit

[soft skiff]

They had to dumb-down the ever-living-crap out of AltSpace to get it to function on the GearVR

[safe prism]

moike, use "they" my dude

[topaz lance]

AltSpace?

[safe prism]

4 letters vs 15

[soft skiff]

@safe prism Did you just assume my dudeness?

[vocal shard]

okano thats rude

dont assume peoples genders

[safe prism]

i did but if you're legitimately getting angry at it after using "it," you can go away

:3

[vocal shard]

I, Hypocrite ^

[safe prism]

do you get angry if people say "it's wednesday my dudes"

[rapid igloo]

I just pointed it out because I thought it was funny af.

[soft skiff]

I don't care... I'm from Santa Cruz, so my car is 'dude', my cat is 'dude', the coffee machine is 'dude', my non-compiling build is 'dude'

[safe prism]

exactly

[vocal shard]

"my dudes" is more than one person

[safe prism]

everything and their mother is dude to me

[vocal shard]

[safe prism]

yeah but that means you just assumed an entire GROUP of people

like dude

[vocal shard]

there you go again

[rapid igloo]

How dare you

[vocal shard]

[rapid igloo]

So rude~

[soft patio]

in California, everyone and everything is dude

[vocal shard]

lul

[rapid igloo]

@soft patio Can confirm

In a heavy sterotype surfer accent

Whoaaa duuuude"

*stereotype

[vocal shard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-5F_7DwPpo

[tepid spindle]

i have a pc

im away from home though

@soft skiff

[soft skiff]

Yep, no real solution for you to use VRChat from your phone at this time.

[tepid spindle]

aw

[lilac swan]

Unless you simply just use your phone to emulate a SteamVR headset, then you can't use it to play VRchat

Some mid-high end computers struggle with VRchat... No way a phone is going to handle it

[slate shuttle]

What's that song sung by a lady that a couple avatars use when dying in slow motion?

It's not the one that goes "Who can say etc"

[paper cloak]

so I just noticed that windows says my oculus is running @ 60hz. Is this just a visual bug, or is it actually running below spec? I can't adjust it higher.

anyone else experience this?

[unkempt tinsel]

Isn't oculus supposed to always run at 90hz? That's weird

[craggy folio]

Oh great is vrchat down again ?

[vocal shard]

No

[vocal shard]

I want a social companion!

Girl or traps only

☺

[pastel edge]

Someone knows how can I open the sdk control panel? I have to fix sth but I can't find it, it jsut doesn't appear

[slim zealot]

im a trap

O WAIT

[vocal shard]

I bought a vive

wooo

[shy nest]

wait really

isnt the vive going to be having a price drop soon because of vive 1.5

[hasty wedge]

it already happened

[shy nest]

oh didnt know they did it straight away, was expecting it when they released 1.5

[mental shuttle]

@weary harness what was the result of your test?

[polar bone]

I think I just found a repeatable bug in Superhot VR that could be used to gain a huge amount of kills

And I'm totally not using it to get really high scores

[lucid silo]

@paper cloak I've seen people mention that before, the reply was that only the display mirror is running at 60 hz but your hmd is still running at 90

[paper cloak]

ah thank you

[vocal shard]

Hey

Play vrchat with me

Im weird

Lol

Have to meet in a world unless you want to try using 3 different keyboard layouts

[sage pewter]

Someone just fed me chips ahoy from a bag

I was enjoying it until they flipped the bag around to the side that reads, "now made with tide pods"

[vocal shard]

Lol

[vocal shard]

Is anyones game locking up and crashing

[indigo fern]

Tfw when you re-meet someone and you disconnect right as they try to send you a friend request

[south oyster]

😮

[vocal shard]

Hm

[high lava]

So my Unity is broken. Only shows Clear Cache and PlayerPrefs for the SDK

[modest hedge]

https://gyazo.com/ac0aa7aa7cba40c7a2becab304a213bf can anyone tell me what model this is call and where its from?

Wearing like a blue cut sweater
?

[shy nest]

probably from one of the avatar worlds with an anime picture

also for your information that is a virgin killer sweater 😅

[obsidian lantern]

That moment when you realize people completely ignore you when you aren't using a generic anime girl avatar 🤔

[hybrid night]

And run around you for hours when you do.

[obsidian lantern]

^

[hybrid night]

It's kind of sad.

[hasty wedge]

[obsidian lantern]

It is. But I've seen that name before. Did you visit the Nier world lately by any chance ?

[hybrid night]

Yep! Yesterday 😄 I enjoyed your singing, that was really good

[obsidian lantern]

Thank you ^^

[hybrid night]

I wish there were more moments or people like that. I like the game but I've been struggling to find something original lately.

[shy nest]

i got the nier world set as my spawn

is 👌

[obsidian lantern]

Didn't know you could do that.

I wish more people came here. Maybe it's an issue on my end, I don't know. But when I see 120 users connected to that world, I see one server with 4 people in it. Sad.

[south oyster]

im gonna have to bum the world ID off you @shy nest 😄

[shy nest]

vrchat://launch?id=wrld_cc834611-89aa-4bf9-a3d0-30cc894637ba:64895

thats me launch option for loading into the nier world

[south oyster]

thanks 😄

i need that kaine salvation 😄

what are the numbers at the end by the way? @shy nest

'':64895''

[shy nest]

no idea

was part of the world id when i got it from the output log

[south oyster]

ah, i assume after the '' : '' you put something like ''~private"

[shy nest]

i like launching into it and sometimes seeing players

[south oyster]

ah 😄

I try to avoid public rooms now these days with all this scare talk of people stealing avatars

and forcing people to see NSFW images

[shy nest]

that has calmed down quite a bit in my experience

well, not sure about the nsfw image one but stealing avatars i havent heard about in a week or two now

[south oyster]

I see 😮

the last world i visited was the SAO world and the Made in Abyss world featuring Nanachi's house 😄

[hybrid night]

@obsidian lantern hope to see you around again, added you o/

[obsidian lantern]

See you around 😄

[lilac swan]

@south oyster @shy nest The ":64895" in the launch command means you'll be put in instance 64895.

[shy nest]

oh i see

[south oyster]

@lilac swan ah that explains it 😄 thanks

zarniwoop swoops in to save the day again 😛

[shy nest]

just removed that so it puts me in whatever

[safe tangle]

How exactly can I save my avatars from Unity? I'm about to wipe my harddrive but I just wanna save 1 before I do that.

[lilac swan]

Back the files up via USB stick or online storage

[safe tangle]

Right, but is it as simple as drag and dropping them into my USB?

Or would I need to export them somehow?

[lilac swan]

Just drag and drop

After reinstall, create a new project again and drop the files in the assets folder again

[safe tangle]

Thank you.

[south oyster]

@lilac swan what can we expect once the playmaker update is here? :3

[lilac swan]

Hopefully a lot more interactive worlds

[south oyster]

i see 😄

[lilac swan]

As the current trigger system is quite limiting

[iron heart]

Having to pay 60 bucks for playmaker amirite

[lilac swan]

Got it for 30 on sale

[south oyster]

@lilac swan would we need to buy playmaker to access playmaker worlds?

[lilac swan]

Yes, of course. It's a really powerful tool on its own

[kindred glacier]

when you want to sleep but VRChat friends are priority

[south oyster]

ok 😄

[lilac swan]

You can easily make your own unity games with it

So if you wanted, I bet you could pretty easily make a standalone version of a playmaker VRC world.

Or vice versa, make a VRC version of your playmaker made game

[south oyster]

from the description, it says AI, cutscenes too 😄

[lilac swan]

Indeed

[south oyster]

have you seen the SAO world?

[lilac swan]

A while ago, yeah

[south oyster]

it's got monsters you can kill already, but they dont fight back at the moment 😛

[vocal shard]

Since there are questions already going around, would there ever be a time that the polygon limit will be increased? Maybe from 20K to 30K?

[south oyster]

@lilac swan im guessing people could make a horde mode too, like in Rec Room

+.+

[lilac swan]

Polylimit where it's at is most likely to stay, or at the very least not going to be changed in a very long time.

[vocal shard]

Ah, okie dokie

[south oyster]

@lilac swan you know, once Playmaker arrives, would VRChat still be called ''VRChat''?

maybe VRChat: Worlds 😄

[lilac swan]

One of the reasons the polylimit is what it is because the less performance goes to render avatars, more can go into making more detailed worlds (and filling up said worlds with more people without causing too much lag)

[kindred glacier]

When will vrchat leave EA

[lilac swan]

Honestly doubt VRchat would add "worlds" to its name lol

[south oyster]

lol

[lilac swan]

And not in a long time

[south oyster]

VRChat Worldmaker 😄

explodes

[iron heart]

Im guessing people are gonna pass Playmaker around

Knowing them

[lilac swan]

I have no doubt it'll happen, however not on this discord. :)

[south oyster]

😃

[lilac swan]

That also goes for asking for pirated copies.

[south oyster]

I can't wait for the day we can favorite worlds

so many worlds out there @,@

[lilac swan]

I'd recommend getting a group together and check out the Halo Bloodgulch world

It's just the map from Halo, but with sniper rifles with actual zoom optics and you can shoot people so they respawn

[south oyster]

sounds neat o.o;

[lilac swan]

The rifle reloads after five rounds, it's hella neat

[south oyster]

@lilac swan speaking of worlds, i was wondering if worlds were going to go on rotation

instead of the same worlds like great pug

and presentation room

[lilac swan]

How do you mean?

[south oyster]

like, randomly selected worlds could be on rotation each week

to serve as the main hubs

[exotic fog]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 3885 users in VRChat currently

[lilac swan]

In the hub world that is already, although perhaps lesser known feature.

[south oyster]

usually hub, presentation room, great pug and avatar testing grounds are pretty packed xD

with lots of empty worlds

[lilac swan]

It's up to people where they want to hang, and I guess those worlds made up high up on the popular list for a reason

[south oyster]

yeah, your right 😄

great pug has lots of interactables 😄

people love props

[lilac swan]

Owlboy makes the assets for the pug himself aswell, except for a few ones that friends have made for him. I think it definitely deserves to be top world

[south oyster]

oh that's cool!

I didn't know that 😮

hmmm

@lilac swan one last question for you 😃

I'm not sure how to ask it but how does one help support VRChat? Besides being active I guess 😄

Do you guys sell T-shirts? I saw a fancy VRChat t-shirt the other day.

[lilac swan]

Currently you can't support VRchat economically, but not being an ass and keep making content is a great way to support VRchat. Trying to make it so people just have a good time, however you do it

[south oyster]

I see! That seems easy enough! 😄

[inner cape]

Good morning vrc o:

[umbral reef]

Aww shit i can only do the second thing

making content

also eyo ghost

[inner cape]

Oof

Nothing is better than seing a familiar person in the chat right away

[umbral reef]

c:

[south oyster]

hiya 😄

[umbral reef]

how you guys doing?

[south oyster]

farming in MH World before bed

a little past 3am here 😮

[umbral reef]

go sleep man

[inner cape]

Sleepy af

[umbral reef]

join vt<3 then

vr*

[inner cape]

Slept for 4h50min yesterday, felt fine
Slept for more than 8h today, feel sleepy as shit

[south oyster]

lol

[iron heart]

Idk even chans have a paypal or wikipedia with its similar for server cost donations though

Does vrchat have anything like that

[inner cape]

No

[lilac swan]

^

[nova flower]

Oof

Good oof everyone

[jolly totem]

Just got my leg trackers \o/

[nova flower]

steals leg trackers thanks.

[jolly totem]

Time to become a sinner like all the others with leg trackers, to the void club we go \o/

[real crown]

Nice! You can karate kick everyone now!!

[nova flower]

I literally only want leg trackers to be a tiny lolli and sit on peoples shoulders.

But i have rift

And vive can't be done cus of my space

Either gonna try kinect or wait for rift trackers

[lilac swan]

Pre-ordered 3 trackers from a store, just waiting until they get them in stock

[inner cape]

Doubt rift trackers are coming any time soon

If not at all

[lilac swan]

Personally I don't see oculus making trackers of their own, but I hope I'm wrong

From what I can tell they're more interested in their new standalone VR HMD

[inner cape]

Getting kinect anyway

Idc that facebook tracks my room 24/7

Cant afford vive

Im still happy with oculus

[nova flower]

I do believe they are going to

[inner cape]

Dont see why oculus is bad

[nova flower]

I can afford vive

I just don't have space for vive

Excuse me

Lmao

[vocal shard]

I can afford vive but the oculus controllers are god tier 😄

[nova flower]

The only excuse for anyone to buy a vive is leg trackers or twitch chat.

[vocal shard]

^

[nova flower]

But with vive it's easier 👀

[inner cape]

Yeah

[vocal shard]

or oculus core 2.0

[inner cape]

Lol

Yeah

[lilac swan]

I disagree those being the only reasons

[nova flower]

Care to enlighten me zarni

[lilac swan]

Roomscale, for once

[umbral reef]

roomscale is a big reason

[lilac swan]

I got a whole livingroom I'd like to take advantage of, which I do

[umbral reef]

i got a tiny ass room and with the ocu i could not use all my space

[vocal shard]

oh I get that, and it'

[umbral reef]

now i can like sit on my bed without a problem

[vocal shard]

s a big plus for people, but I didn't need it

[nova flower]

Roomscale as in size yes

Roomscale as in functionality no.

[lilac swan]

Vive works just as well in close areas aswell

[tacit plank]

That's cool, because I don't have much space

[lilac swan]

Also while not a vive specific argument, but being part of the SteamVR ecosystem

[umbral reef]

Also
More of a personal thing..
Its not facebook related...

[tacit plank]

I'd change desk, but this one is too heavy. I won't get it out without either ruining the floor or ruining the desk (which would require a screwdriver and an axe)

[lilac swan]

I can pick and choose which (SteamVR) HMD and controllers to use

[polar jasper]

It's personal preference in the end and not a war on which VR tool is the best.

[inner cape]

Get a job, save up and when i move out in a year, get myself a whole room to myself, get that golden pc, vive pro and leg trackers

[nova flower]

I can't use vive

I can't put the light houses anywhere.

[umbral reef]

Only a single room 👀 ?

[inner cape]

But vrc will be dead by that time

[umbral reef]

ducktape them against te walls?

[inner cape]

Students cant get a whole apartment, bruh

[polar jasper]

@nova flower because sensors "must" be attached to something?

[umbral reef]

Eh just dont rent within a city

[nova flower]

No.

My wall infront is covered by my monitor

Behind me is a closet without a door

And the next wall to the left and right is about 12m away.

[tacit plank]

A meter behind me there's a bed, right in front of me there's a desk (with the retarded size of at least 1x1 meter. Why is it so long? It's supposed to be wide instead..)

[nova flower]

you talking about me?

my pc is currently situated in the kitchen

which is openly connected to my living room

i'm getting my own room soon but i don't think vive will fit in there either

i will see.

[tacit plank]

I'm just ranting about my room

[nova flower]

ah

[tacit plank]

But that's cool, other than not having your own room, that sucks

[nova flower]

yes

but

[iron heart]

trying to download this fucking

[nova flower]

LEG TRACKERS

[iron heart]

asian bitch from paragon

this shinbi bitch

[nova flower]

ecksu dee

[iron heart]

SHE FINNNNEEEEEEE

i wanna look at that bootyshorts

[nova flower]

I think i might just devise some way to have a fold up desk

and hang my monitor from the wall

it will increase my playsize quite dramatically

[iron heart]

and get your bed to be like

just a yoga mat

with some straw

[polar jasper]

Lighthouse still works even in ranges of 8meters so square/rectangle rooms will still work. but of course it still comes down to room layout and how much things you are willing to move around

[nova flower]

i'm not looking to buy legtrackers for the purpose of dancing specifically

it's more for more freedom

and being able to sit on people as tiny loli

😛

[polar jasper]

"realistic feeling"

[nova flower]

yais

and ofc being able to kick people

xd

[inner cape]

Im doing it for the dancing :P

[nova flower]

i THINK i might just get a kinect for now

can someone post the xbox one kinect vs 360 tracking comparison vid again

[jolly totem]

Not gonna lie, I just bought them so I could dance and hump people.

[nova flower]

sounds like a honorable goal

[jolly totem]

What can I say, I'm an honorable man.

[umbral reef]

[tacit plank]

Sounds like a good trade of 800$

[polar jasper]

Add 100$ more and you get the Pro version :]

[nova flower]

more like 500

[jolly totem]

Getting myself the pro headset as well

[tacit plank]

Pro (with trackers) is 1800$ here

[nova flower]

pro doesnt come with controllers or the new lighthouses

[inner cape]

LuL

[jolly totem]

But I might wait for the pro bundle instead though, I've already got the normal vive so

[nova flower]

BY THE WAY

anyone who is using oculus and kinect

do i need 3 oculus sensors or does it not matter

[tacit plank]

820$ is the normal vive kit here, clearly I'm being punished for living in Denmark

[inner cape]

Kinect works on its own

[vocal shard]

(not that it really matters, because i can buy a bundle of controllers plus a third sensor for like 100 euros)

good

i might just get a 3rd sensor anyway

[inner cape]

Ye

[nova flower]

how far does the kinect have to be from you

im debating on putting it UNDER my desk

[inner cape]

But dont forget, software to use the kinect for vr is also £20

[nova flower]

no

there's a guy in this discord who made a free version

[polar jasper]

876$~ in Norway so not that far apart price wise in Scandinavia

[inner cape]

Free version = crack = piracy

= illegal

Unless its a comepletely different one

[tacit plank]

Cracking isn't illegal

Piracy is, though

[nova flower]

its a completely different one

[inner cape]

Fixed

[nova flower]

but i refer to it as the free version because it's made to do the same thing

but for free.

[inner cape]

Hm

[vocal shard]

@nova flower carefull with kinect. U need to keep it at least 4-5 m away from your play space

[rough pulsar]

The free kinect-steamVR software is both kinds of free (cost, and open source), so no worry about piracy on that one.

[nova flower]

jesus mother of fuck

why m

[inner cape]

No way 4-5m

[nova flower]

five meters

my five key broke

rip

ree

[vocal shard]

I tryed it

[inner cape]

Friend of mine uses it like 2m away

[vocal shard]

Had ti put it a mile away

[nova flower]

vanhai

where do you have it pointed

[vocal shard]

And tracking is shit btw

Waste of time and money

[nova flower]

sounds like a setup and usb bandwith issue to me

[inner cape]

Its the matter of luck, for some it works well and ez setup

[nova flower]

if you look at the kinect vrchat vids its pretty damn good

you need good usb bandwidth

[inner cape]

For others its a complete mess

[vocal shard]

It only wirks when i face it

[inner cape]

DUH

[nova flower]

no shit

a singular kinect is not made for threesixtydegree tracking

that wont matter to me anyway because all my playspace is in front

i think i might just get a xbone 3sixty kinect

cause finding the adapter for the one version is going to be an absolute P A I N

[paper socket]

yoyoyo

[rough pulsar]

You any good with a soldering iron? If so you can mod a power supply onto them for very cheap.

[nova flower]

what kind

i solder my electronics in my car

[rough pulsar]

12v 2.5a I think

[nova flower]

so i have some experience

any detailed guides on how to do it?

i already have soldering tin and iron

[rough pulsar]

I have a quick guide I posted in #full-body-tracking a while back, search for posts by me with images and the word kinect and you should find it

[nova flower]

oh right

[rough pulsar]

I wish there was a way to get a link to a discord post somehow

Then again, that's a useful feature so they'd never do it.

[iron heart]

i only have experience soldering things pets broke

wwwww

[inner cape]

Yikes

[rough pulsar]

My dad taught me electronics stuff when I was 5
Damn good skill to have

[thick rivet]

indeed

[inner cape]

Learned it a bit in school

Had to solder circuits for a project

Thats about it

[nova flower]

uhm

[inner cape]

?

[nova flower]

when i search from: Gallium#7020 in: full-body-tracking has: image kinect i can only find you referencing the search @rough pulsar

[rough pulsar]

Finds it for me, it's on 31/10/2017 and starts with "Turns out the power supply mod for the Kinect v2..."

[nova flower]

i think i know why i cant find it

i wasnt part of this discord back then

[rough pulsar]

Wait wtf, it won't let you find stuff from before a user joined discord?

that's a fat load of fucking useless

[lilac swan]

That should not be the case
