Whether they are using borrowed tools

#

Its hacking

charred scroll
#

uhm

safe prism
#

i've seen avatar theft on people with like nametag pins

charred scroll
#

you do know that they pull it out of their own log?

safe prism
#

it was really funny

charred scroll
#

hacking would be going into someone elses pc

frank ivy
#

No.

hasty wedge
#

hacking is giving someone else ur password on ur will

#

learn the meaning pls SmugKyoko

charred scroll
#

LEL

frank ivy
#

Hacking by definition is getting unauthorized access to data in a system.

safe prism
#

hacking is where you're going through a forest and you need a machete to get through the brush

frank ivy
#

Which, is what they do.

charred scroll
#

then what is cracking or modding leviathan

safe prism
#

same thing

#

just we don't vilify it in the same way

frank ivy
#

Basically

charred scroll
#

srsly doe, hacker is like a praise for those people

lilac swan
#

Isn't "Script kiddies" the term to use?

charred scroll
#

hence why i call em stealer

#

well, kinda

safe prism
#

yeah

charred scroll
#

but i think it sounds childish and dumb

frank ivy
#

Script kiddies tends to be the slang term for hackers on borrowed tools ye

charred scroll
#

having some nostalgia of the old MLG days

#

haaa, good times

safe prism
#

i mean i can call myself a hacker by the old terms even, i take things apart and figure out how to make them do what i want.

charred scroll
#

well, by that definition

frank ivy
#

Hacker isnt that great of a term, its really general and basic.

safe prism
#

i prefer the term "maker" or "engineer" nowadays

charred scroll
#

some people in vrchat are hacking by rewriting the max poly limit

frank ivy
#

People just decided to make it holyshitomg

lilac swan
#

Without going into deeper detail of how it's done (And no one else should be either) about getting past the poly limit, "hacking" is a very generous word to use imho

frank ivy
#

Generous but still applicable.

charred scroll
#

well, personally i dont mind when people do that stuff as long as it isnt abused to worsen someones game experience

#

like, when they have 40k polys, but optimised it to run very well

#

or if they use a gigantic avatar way above max height just to replay king kong or so

vocal shard
#

make a local digital billboard show "traps are gay" instead of showing ads.

frank ivy
#

As someone used to hack before. Hacking tends to be something that drains the shit out of your fun really quick for some highbrow reactions and short lived fun.

#

Ever play a game for awhile find some cheats and then stop playing that game that very week?

charred scroll
#

yep

#

well, same thing with hosting a server for 1 friend

#

gets boring after a while

vocal shard
#

huh..

lilac swan
#

Out of sheer curiosity I wanted to see if I could play online matches with item cheats enabled on Mario Kart Wii on my softmodded console, which I could.

charred scroll
#

LOL

#

spam blue shells

#

insta win

lilac swan
#

I just spammed bullet bills

#

3 laps within 1-2 minutes

charred scroll
#

xD

frank ivy
#

If i get a commission for a model of my oc and someone steals it, id be flattered tbh.

#

I want people to love my character

lilac swan
#

There was no delay to the items aswell

charred scroll
#

perma bullet bills

lilac swan
#

Would go so fast I would clip above the track

charred scroll
#

imagine that with the new mario kart

#

where the physics are "better"

lilac swan
#

It was fun to do twice, then I played regularly

charred scroll
#

you can fall through the floor vrchat style

frank ivy
#

I want boneitus to stop happening while sitting in chairs

lilac swan
#

I think I know which bug you mean

#

Apparently every 10th minute for whatever reason your avatar reloads or something, and if you happen to sit in a seat with standing mode you get crushed down into the chair

#

Changing to seated play before sitting down is a temp fix

hasty wedge
#

jokes on u but my models dont work on chairs

iron heart
#

I should import a walking chair...

lilac swan
#

judging by your name I guess you only use little gremlins as avatars

hasty wedge
iron heart
#

I liked that one mount in ff14

#

Flying chair

lilac swan
#

Actually made an animation override for one of my small avatars for it so sit properly

iron heart
#

So simple

lilac swan
#

can send you the animation clip if you want

#

You'll probably need to finetune the properties

hasty wedge
#

too lazy to reposition for each model

#

so i just dont bother SmugKyoko

lilac swan
#

It's literally changing the root.Q value which determines the height

hasty wedge
#

ye

lilac swan
#

Oh well

#

If anyone else wants it, let me know

#

FYI to override a sitting animation you override the "idle" slot and put the controller in the "seated" slot

hasty wedge
#

if only the game magically stops clipping so i can use other type of sit animations feelsnepman

umbral reef
#

What website do you guys use for objects within animations GWnanamiIllyaThink

charred scroll
#

i make the animation and object myself ๐Ÿค”

umbral reef
#

Im to dumb to understand 3D modeling so GWnanamiLaceShrug g

charred scroll
#

i just use the unity object

umbral reef
#

Doing the animations and materials its not to hard

charred scroll
#

still looks fine tbh

umbral reef
#

Like i only just learned how to combine objects within blender GWtogaTheSaddest

#

I can now make keychain plushies c:

charred scroll
#

well, i mainly screw around with particle systems

last ocean
#

do people still play this?

charred scroll
#

!online

floral flaxBOT
#

There are 4026 users in VRChat currently

fallow kite
#

^yes... Yes we do

frank ivy
#

Vrchat's population is on a rise. The knuckles boom helped it a lot.

charred scroll
#

well, depends

#

some people left vrchat cause of that

#

it massivly killed the servers

#

and the servers still havent recoverd fully

vital rune
#

Im still not positive about ugandan knuckles

#

best for it to stay dead and never come back

stable folio
#

Ugandan knuckles definitely helped vrchat get a boom

#

Only thing keeping me off is the crappy vive controls.

vital rune
#

aka should've stayed at VRChat and not spread outside of it

stable folio
#

I wouldnt think it would be all that difficult for them to add an option, but here we are like 3 weeks later and not a thing

#

Why? Elitism only kills games.

#

People thought it was funny. Nothing wrong with that.

tacit plank
#

I just got VR, so I don't know what the controls were before, but the new ones are alright for me

stable folio
#

Which one?

tacit plank
#

"People thought it was funny" except for the people who legit wanted to stab themselves at the sight or memory of the little red bastards.
And HTC Vive

stable folio
#

I always thought it was funny. Sucks they couldnt enjoy it.

#

Ah, yeah, the old vive controls were better. I barely play because of the change. It Sucks cause I miss hanging out with friends in vr

#

Then again vrchat gets dull since people form their cliques and its hard to intrude

tacit plank
#

I hated it. Before that, I hated fidget spinners, before that I hated terms like "angery" and "succ", before that I hated "boi" and "doot", before that I hated "Doggo" and "Pupper" and baneposting, etc.

stable folio
#

Sounds like youre not all that fun of a guy.

rain turtle
#

and minor WMR users got their walking machine ๐Ÿ…ฑ roken after that vive controller update

tacit plank
#

So maybe I just hate everything around me

stable folio
#

Oh well, all different people in the world

#

Yeah, since wmr uses the same type of pad.

#

I know people tell me to get over it, but it makes me so mad trying to use it. The thing I do most in vr is move

#

I'm not standing still in vr. I want to move close and see

#

Explore in vr

#

Take away my ability to move effortlessly and its not fun. Its just annoying.

rain turtle
#

yes and no. vrchat doesn't officially support wmr and wmr only has 'native' support by emulating vive controllers
but got it working now, by modding the steam vr and remapping touchpads for gestures and joysticks for rotation/walking machine

#

wish they add native wmr support tho soon

stable folio
#

I wonder if they will have an update soon

#

They haven't had an update in like

#

Beginning of the month

#

Maybe theyre starting to abandon it, since player count is still falling

rain turtle
stable folio
#

No

#

I'm not expending any effort on this

rain turtle
#

okay

stable folio
#

They shouldn't of broken it in the first place

#

It shows what type of group they are

tacit plank
#

You think they would abandon their project for no good reason?

stable folio
#

Yeah, not enough money

#

They haven't got a huge cash influx from vive or anybody recently

#

If the game is dying

tacit plank
#

I'm sure they have plans related to that

stable folio
#

Their chances of more money is going away

#

Yeah, make another vr cashgrab

tacit plank
#

After all, the game being free was intentional. And the user count did drop a bit, but that was to be expected after the knuckles thing. Now they just need things to work properly, and to limit cheaters and such which might scare away new players

stable folio
#

Eh I never understood the fear of cheaters

#

Its not a competitive game

#

And sure a drop is expected, but it's still steadily declining week by week

hasty wedge
#

thats a good thing

stable folio
#

Yes, a declining memberbase is a good thing

#

You're right

tacit plank
#

I didn't mean the avatar-stealing part, even though they will also annoy players. I meant "earrape" and gore pictures

hasty wedge
#

i hope thats not sarcasm cause it is a gud thing ๐Ÿค”

stable folio
#

Gore is gore, we're on the internet

#

And hell earrape occurs in discord. There isn't much you can do about that

tacit plank
#

I don't mind, but some young person who has just installed VRChat, or a person who has a hard time with social things to begin with? They'll likely quit

rain turtle
stable folio
#

Ok?

tacit plank
#

I'm not sure what you're talking about, I've never heard earrape on Discord, and saying that you have to see gore on the internet is just giving up

stable folio
#

I have, and I'm not saying you have to, just grow some skin

tacit plank
#

I've only come across gore when I've been an idiot (stayed on websites during 4chan raids, gone on an imgur-roulette website, face mashed my keyboard on Google images, etc)

stable folio
#

I'm more annoyed at the people who break the 20k poly b limit

floral aspen
#

polys don't matter tho

tacit plank
#

They do, but it's just barely

stable folio
#

They do

hasty wedge
#

instead of being annoyed why not be more informed ๐Ÿค”

stable folio
#

Especially even you get a bunch of peoplr who break the poly limit in a room

#

And performance tanks

lilac swan
#

Raw polycount is just one of the factors what makes an avatar performant

tacit plank
#

I can look at 20 players and get 60~ FPS, then drop to 30 FPS because of one fire-effect

stable folio
#

Ah thats another thing

#

Effects

floral aspen
#

number of materials, skinned mesh renderers, dynamic bones, ik tracking, etc. are the main performance hits

stable folio
#

Honestly I hate most avatars ive seen

#

Ban all skins

#

Ban all avatars

umbral reef
#

Why not ban the whole game

hasty wedge
#

u can already do that now with the block by default!

#

block avatars by default*

stable folio
#

Not a bad idea

floral aspen
#

yeah lets just ban the main appeal of VRChat

stable folio
#

Yeah

floral aspen
#

makes total sense

lilac swan
#

Dynamic bones is one of the major culpits of poor performance, if not done sparingly

umbral reef
#

Imo the only reason the game is fun is because of the avatars...
Most worlds are to boring to look at and have nothing else to provide
People are boring and if i just wanted to talk with movements id do it irl

tacit plank
#

I mean, polys count, sure, but if one shader can lag as much as a cluster of 20 people, they're a bigger problem. Maybe somebody should make a tutorial on proper fire effects with little to no lag?

floral aspen
#

I've been in a room with an avatar that had over a million polys and had no lag. Its not that big of an issue

stable folio
#

The avatars are actually the least interesting thing to me. I'm also in vr so I like seeing some of the little details put into worlds.

umbral reef
#

CAffeine the problem is not that people dont know how to do it
People that really want to can legit just google and read up on these things
Its more that people dont want to put the effort into doing that

tacit plank
#

Without avatars, I'd have to leave. There have been countless interactive chats over the years, and this one is way better

stable folio
#

I also like picking up shit and throwing it or juggling it in vr.

floral aspen
#

The fact that there are literally no limits to what your avatar can be is the main appeal of VRChat

umbral reef
#

@stable folio I often world jump all alone to find cool worlds
Legit 99% of the vrchat maps are nothing special

tacit plank
#

They put effort into making fire effects to begin with, so if they learned the proper, non-laggy way to begin with it should be better

stable folio
#

I know

umbral reef
#

I dont play a game because 1% of something is great

stable folio
#

Its why the game is starting to lose one of tbe main appeals

#

No actually creative maps

tacit plank
#

Be the solution you want to see ๐Ÿ˜›

rain turtle
#

make some maps then

floral aspen
#

Well, I've seen some really cool maps, but you really are limited in what you can do without scripting

stable folio
#

Nah, ill just leave when I'm fully satisfied with it

umbral reef
#

Thats why i like the avatar
they can be just as detailed, funny or interactive as maps GWnanamiLaceShrug

#

Its still rare to see it but not as rare as cool worlds

hasty wedge
#

who needs a map when u can make ur avatar spawn a whole new map

#

๐Ÿ‘

rain turtle
#

intellectual ^

tacit plank
#

In extreme cases... But yeah, some avatars are honestly amazing. Like the "custom avatar" guy

stable folio
#

I do enjoy seeing maps that are ripped from games ive played

tacit plank
#

If you make your avatar a map, prepare to be blocked by me ๐Ÿ˜›

umbral reef
#

No but things from like the shop keeper avatars
The avatars that have insane animations (robots flying around, drones ect) or just plain joke things like i tend to have

stable folio
#

So I can actually see what it is like in vr

hasty wedge
#

๐Ÿ˜ฑ

lilac swan
#

Don't joke about that on the discord, thanks, caffeine

hasty wedge
#

i should make a dakimakura shop avatar

#

:tih

#

n

stable folio
#

Yes molestation is srs bsns

tacit plank
#

I meant I kiss random people on VRChat

umbral reef
#

I still want to attempt to make a space world

stable folio
#

Think of all the molested kids

umbral reef
#

But i cant even model things with blender GWtogaTheSaddest

stable folio
#

Unwanted sexual advances can be considered rape

floral aspen
#

grab a space skybox, put in a floating platform, add some nice ambient music and bam, you've got a space world

tacit plank
#

I'm going to do it in VRChat though, unless they're clearly against it

hasty wedge
#

desktoppers have no defense theyll like it or not

stable folio
#

Wow you're bragging bout forcing yoursrlf on people

hasty wedge
stable folio
#

That's disgusting

tacit plank
#

In VRChat, you think I ever leave my room?

#

I kissed two Kannas last time I played, one didn't react, the other made a loud kissing sound

#

The Hoppou ran away though ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

hasty wedge
#

its always the hoppous i swear

#

the otherday i had to spend 30min to get to hug her

#

gave up

#

well

#

more like 15min

#

๐Ÿค”

tacit plank
#

Aww, you will manage next time!

hasty wedge
tacit plank
#

Otherwise, come find me, I'm a hoppou in a bikini with a static expression of a cat mouth and heart pupils

umbral reef
#

I just get abused and called names within vrchat by everyone GWtogaTheSaddest

#

Every friend group or strangers i meet
They always say the same thing

hasty wedge
tacit plank
#

I had a group come up to me and tell me that nobody likes me and that I should leave. I just laughed at them but then remembered that they might say it to somebody who actually cares, which would be sad

stable folio
#

People apparently can't remember what the iron giant looks like and always calls me that

#

Even tho its the robot from castle in the sky

#

Poorly colored

hasty wedge
#

wow feelsnepman

stable folio
#

Well I mean if nobody likes you

#

Thats when you capitalize on it

#

Make em mad

tacit plank
#

Never seen them before so they were clearly just running around being rude for fun

stable folio
#

Make them leave

#

Ah

hasty wedge
#

id walk up to them

stable folio
#

Thats boring

floral aspen
#

maybe just don't go to public worlds

hasty wedge
#

and kiss them until the MP shows up

stable folio
#

Public worlds are the best

umbral reef
#

How would you make friends then tidus?

tacit plank
#

I had gone there since I followed a friend, then went AFK to do other things

floral aspen
#

Through friends of friends

hasty wedge
#

must be nice being in friends+ and private worlds rubyCRY

stable folio
#

How else do I get the latest and greatest cancer

hasty wedge
#

afraid of ever joining unless invited

#

๐Ÿ”ซ

umbral reef
#

How do you get friends then

#

Hard to start when you dont got a stepping stone ๐Ÿ‘Œ

stable folio
#

Thats how I met all of my friends in vrc

floral aspen
#

oh, well that was assuming you had friends in the first place

hasty wedge
stable folio
#

Haven't met a decent worthwhile friend on a private world

umbral reef
#

And most of the time friends groups dont care about the third wheel

floral aspen
#

otherwise braving public worlds is your only option

stable folio
#

Since theyre already content with their friends

umbral reef
#

^^

stable folio
#

You have to go out and see the raw cancer, the bad acoustic guitarists, and the lag inducers

hasty wedge
#

it may have its flaws but it thought me something

floral aspen
#

I'll pass on that

hasty wedge
#

and that something is how to speak russian fluently

stable folio
#

Then youre what is wrong with vrc tidus

#

Not being welcoming to new players and hiding in your hidey holes with your cliques

#

Smh

hasty wedge
#

its for a gud reason tho

#

public worlds are a hit or miss

stable folio
#

Hell is paved with good intentions

#

Havent used that idiom in a while

#

One of my favorite ones actually

floral aspen
#

look, I work a full time job and at the end of the day I just wanna chill with my friends in VRChat and not be harassed by knuckles, memes, and particle effects.

stable folio
#

Oh wow poor you

#

Sorry to hear about having to only work

umbral reef
#

Desick maybe dont judge him instantly

floral aspen
#

yeah, you come off as a bit of an asshole

stable folio
#

Lol we always judge instantly

umbral reef
#

Maybe thats explains why the respondse was pretty cuntish ๐Ÿ‘€
Just think why he feels like that

stable folio
#

No I do the same

#

I work full time

#

And school full time

umbral reef
#

I got internship from 6-6 all day and i also dont want to see lagging bullshit avatars in my worlds but i still go to publick ones

stable folio
#

Work isnt an excuse, its just your preferences

umbral reef
#

(and that is only work, i still have to cook and work after that)

stable folio
#

I completely understand why you dont go to public worlds

floral aspen
#

I wasn't using it as an excuse, just explaining why I don't go to public worlds often

stable folio
#

But in the same stroke I'm not lying.

#

Youre whats wrong with vrc

floral aspen
#

and you're entitled to your opinion

stable folio
#

I know I am lol

#

Its my favorite thing about the internet

#

I can just broadcast my opinions

umbral reef
#

Desick maybe before you say dumb things like that he is the problem of the game dont do it while your insulting him and being kinda of an Ahole about things...

#

Kinda makes the comment look silly

floral aspen
#

I used to go to public worlds all the time when I first started playing VRChat. But just because I enjoy hanging out with my friends instead of only talking to randos in public worlds doesn't mean I'm whats wrong with the game

stable folio
#

Do you strictly hang out with your friends in vrc?

#

That was the impression I was getting

floral aspen
#

Pretty much. I only play once or twice a week so I like to spend what little time I have in game with my friends

stable folio
#

Besides oclac, nobody says I have be nice

#

Then yes, my comment still stands tidus

umbral reef
#

Never said that
Just said your arguments look shit because of it

stable folio
#

I,mean if a mod wants to kick me for being an asshole

#

Then he can

#

And you dont have to listen to my arguments either. I'm not expecting tidus to change his ways

#

If he is happy, he he should do what he wants

floral aspen
#

lol whatever you say man. There are thousands of players in VRChat now and plenty of people who play in public worlds. Its not like its impossible to meet new people

stable folio
#

My point is youre just deadweighting rather than,helping contribute to the success of vrc by encouraging new people to stay, and showing that vrc isnt a walled garden sort of game

#

But in the end, I dont really care. I'm just enjoying myself here.

umbral reef
#

Why does everyone need to put effort into improving an community though?

lilac swan
#

Shitting on people just wanting to hang with their friends doesn't seem to be helping to contribute to anything either.

stable folio
#

I know lol

floral aspen
#

I do contribute though. I'm in the middle of making a world for VRChat right now. Not everyone has to contribute in the same way

umbral reef
#

Tidus just chatting here helps more then the average player does GWnanamiLaceShrug

stable folio
#

On a more relevant note, I hate how discord wont let you see,like a full size image of somebodies profile pic

vocal shard
#

What's wrong with people wanting to hang out with a group of friends that they know? I mean... people have no obligation to hang out with you.

lilac swan
#

There is nothing wrong with it.

#

VRchat is an social VR app. There literally isn't a right way to "play" it

stable folio
#

Likr zarniwoops profile pic is like some frigging furry thing

umbral reef
#

Bruh

#

Its a cat ๐Ÿ˜‚

lilac swan
#

๐Ÿ™„

stable folio
#

Thats not a damn cat its like a fucking cow thing with a vegeta haircut

lilac swan
#

Oof, low quality bait

stable folio
#

I tried

#

My earlier bait was 2strong

umbral reef
stable folio
#

What the heck is it tho? Like you got a full sized image?

lilac swan
#

It's my avatar I made myself.

stable folio
#

U a furry?

#

Oh no

tacit plank
#

It's a good OC

lilac swan
#

Thanks, caffeine

#

And yes, Oclac

rain turtle
#

haven't seen that meme in a while oclac ๐Ÿ˜„

umbral reef
dreamy trout
#

f**k new players. i am staying in my hidey hole

vale palm
#

why is this desick guy trying to be so edgy

#

makes me understand tidus not wanting to go to public worlds

vocal shard
#

Because he thinks it makes him look sharp. comedy drum solo

vale palm
#

if i have to meet ppl like desick there that are trying way too hard

rain turtle
#

bd tm tss

umbral reef
dreamy trout
#

i mean he does have a point. it is pretty hard to meet new people because most serious vrchat people are in private rooms all the time

umbral reef
#

Also while this chat is active ima plug myself GWnanamiTohruSmile
Add me on VRC: Oclac

rain turtle
#

enough with that fish!

#

๐Ÿ˜„

umbral reef
#

@rain turtle dont have more then those anyway so your lucky GWoooKarenSugoi

rain turtle
#

oh nice

vale palm
#

i got a lot of those fish!

lilac swan
#

It is commendable if people wants to seek out new people and "bring them under their wings", however that isn't or shouldn't be expected of anyone.

rain turtle
#

oh no

vale palm
#

ima upload em quick

dreamy trout
#

i like that you can actually use the chat on the discord now though

#

when i started it was moving far too fast to get a conversation going

floral aspen
#

Hard to meet people? Theres hundreds if not thousands of people in public worlds at any one time

umbral reef
#

Ow you prob talked when the servers where down then orso

#

Its kinda rare how active it is currently

#

Normally this only happens when a server dies

vale palm
#

it was pretty bad when vrchat went popular

#

even without server down

#

i miss my 250~ ppl online at the same time, times : <

floral aspen
#

me too moshi

umbral reef
#

Well the chat is pretty death now comapred to those times yes

#

But it was not flooding the chat fast most of the time

lilac swan
#

I'd like to think people are actually interacting with each other in-game rather on the discord

floral aspen
#

^

lilac swan
#

The discord is basically tech support, and that's fine to me

umbral reef
#

GWtogaTheSaddest I love tech support though

lilac swan
floral aspen
#

mhmm, I basically only used this discord for tutorials when I started VRChat

dreamy trout
#

have you tried turning it off and then on again?

umbral reef
#

Moto im sadly at the point where id rather replace the full machine then bother asking them to turn things off and on again

#

Its easier

#

God dont ya love nurses and doctors that got the power to break "unbreakable cables"...

#

Or a lot worse

stable folio
#

Oh to respond to earlier, I'm just screwing around

#

I do think my point is valid

#

But I dont really ultimately care what people do

south citrus
#

I'm working on a Audience Participation DND Dungeon Run for VRChat. Any writers around who would like to help out?

stable folio
#

How would that even work?

south citrus
#

I lead the audience through their location and then give them options to choose from. Think of it as a text based adventure game.

stable folio
#

Hmm interesting

south citrus
#

I have already done some testing of the format and it worked well during an Open Mic Night

#

So I am building a world for it to run these events from

stable folio
#

Yeah, it Sounds interesting

#

I Unfournately dont know any writers

#

You could tastefully lift ideas from books

#

I know the 5e dnd books have a recommended reading list

south citrus
#

Well this is actually going for more of an entertainment comedic vibe on the whole DnD

#

Lots of Video game references

stable folio
#

Ahh

#

Well, good luck, it sounds cool. You could trt putting up something on like wattpad or fan fiction. Theyre usually cringey enough

#

Does anyone know about the audio source thing

#

i want to make a animation where i does multiple songs one after the other

#

if i add more than 1 audiosource to that object will it play both at the same time

floral aspen
#

look at how long each audio source is, then trigger each audio source sequentially in your animation. Or alternatively, just paste all the songs together in audacity and only have one audio source.

dim thunder
#

that sounds easier

#

but wont they play together

floral aspen
#

What do you mean? Are you referring to the multiple audio source method or the single audio source method?

dim thunder
#

the audacity one

floral aspen
#

you're just taking the first song, then pasting the second song to the end of it, and so on

I've found that one of the fixes to the vive reversed audio bug is to use Nividia's Vive playback channel instead of the default HTC Vive.

My tracking is really bad, sometimes it completely stops working, and I need to point the controller in a specific direction to be able to rotate.
Is this normal when you have a lot of stuff in your room?

devout island
#

You should have a clear space so it can track without problems

tacit plank
#

I don't have any more space :/ and the stuff is not nearly as tall as I am. It might still be "reflective surfaces" though

Is it normal that VRChat crashes average 2-3 times every hour with oculus?

could also be that oculus home and steamVR arent getting along

Once i disabled virtual memory alocation and the game crashed all the time, so propably 8gb ram and 6gb allocated is not enough sometimes

check if any of your avatars are running an animation

Not sure how to

#

It works in another project, strange

umbral reef
#

Well the problem is project specific it it throws that error

#

i know that for sure

#

and its often when an animation or alike is running i if i recall correct

tacit plank
#

Oh it only shows that error when I press play

umbral reef
#

uploading the avatars kinda works the same as running play ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

Atleast its how i understand it

#

Dont quote me at all on it

tacit plank
#

Otherwise, no errors. The "Build and publish" buttons are just greyed out (in the list with avatars in the scene, I can't even get to the upload part)

umbral reef
#

but you are hiding all but the avatar your attempting to upload ?

#

If not try doing that

tacit plank
#

Not hiding anything. Not sure hot to either

umbral reef
#

If your in the hierarchy tree and you click on a model (so you get the full model and not just the body)
You will get the information about the full avatar
At the top left of that information part there is a blue check mark

I will just redo it in another project..

pressing that should hide them

Why do Custom Maid models have such high polygon count? (Not actually asking, just ranting a small bit.)

#

'cause with all the details it has.

I mean, I managed to get the one I use for my PFP to work but I had to heavily cut down on details and remove extra hidden polygons. That thing sat at around 50,000.

If anyone has some advanced tips on decimating high polygon models and keep the retainability of its details, I am more than willing to learn.

Retopology.

#

You can learn it to keep most details as it is while having less polygon.

#

I'll check it out, thank ya'

iron heart
#

@vocal shard that's mostly texture detail tho

#

that one in particular

#

cause i bet if you go look at her the skirt is pretty plain mesh, the hair isn't much

vocal shard
#

Yeah, pre-decimation the hair all-together is a total of roughly 10,000 polygons.

#

The front part of the hair is about 2000, back part 5,500 and twintails are 3,300.

weak hearth
#

A lot of stuff that MMD makers use polys for can be done with alpha and normal maps.

#

That's completely useless info for anyone editing a MMD model, though.

#

Wish there was an easy way to bake detail of polys to normal maps.

trail stirrup
#

what's so hard about it

#

you'll want to duplicate the lowpoly mesh and alt+s it up so it's not inside the highpoly mesh for best results

#

i guess that is getting complicated

weak hearth
#

Makin' the low poly mesh isn't always straightforward either. ;p If all you have is the MMD

vocal shard
#

So I can export the model as a pmx or obj file straight from the source.

Oh, I'm not trying to import it yet, I'm just attempting to find it online. I found the model in an avatar world so I know it's around, just can't find it.

Have you tried asking the person who uploaded that where they got it?

royal garnet

There's the thing, it was just sitting on a pedestal in an avatar world, I'd love to ask the creator of the world but I'm not sure how I would go about finding them

#

From 'Tea, Cakes, and Avatars'

but the textures keep looking wierd on the face and head stuff

they're darker than they're supposed to be, they should match th e body

polar rose
#

since i keep hearing mixed things, does anybody actually know if stealing avatars is still possible since the pedestal method was stopped? i am trying to decide whether i want to play as my character at all in pub lobbies

#

i've heard everything from "no" to "yes, they can rip all of the files and put them in their own unity"

#

some proof or reliable info instead of more hearsay would be appreciated

lilac swan
#

Unity games themselves aren't known for their super great security, and yes, there are ways to rip user models from the game (Which obviously I'm not going to get into here as to how to do it). Good news however is I'm working on a way you can set up your models yourself to make it a a major pain in the ass to actually get your model working, if someone decides to rip the files.

#

At this point I just need to confirm with a friend who knows to rip models that my technique actually works out, then I plan on making a video tutorial to set it up.

#

Short version is you make a new blend shape, you randomize the vertices into an unrecognizable mess. You set that shape as basis. Duplicate the previously existing blendshapes from mix so you need to have the previous basis shape active, plus the other blendshapes to do visemes, eyeblinking properly. Inside unity you set the previous basis shape to always be active so it looks proper, but technically the default state of the model is still that gargled mess of vertex points.
As to why this works, is because getting blendshapes is either really difficult or downright impossible I have been told.

#

So I'm looking into using blendshapes as some sorts of "anti-piracy"

soft turret
#

Yes

#

I've heard of some of these words before

stable folio
#

my question is why, Zarniwoop?

#

Is getting an avatar 'Stolen' all that big of a deal? Like hear me out, I make my avatars from Blender

#

and put them in and whatnot

lilac swan
#

Why help content creators protect their models, indeed...?

stable folio
#

if someone steals it, who cares?

#

its just an avatar

soft turret
#

you don't, people do

#

u feel me

stable folio
#

Sure, i guess. I'm just more curious is it worth adding a bunch of just unneeded complexity to it?

soft turret
#

if you're one to care about it, yes

stable folio
#

Will it lag the game at all?

#

I know a lot of people play with a frigging toaster, and Unity isn't the more resource friendly application sometimes

lilac swan
#

People who actually take the time and create their own models don't want just anyone to use them. To me this should go without saying

stable folio
#

Hmm. I suppose it just boils down to preferences

lilac swan
#

I find it very disrespectful to artists to say "It's just an avatar" when they want to have control over their content

shy nest
#

also commisions, if you paid a decent sum of money to someone to make a model only for some script kiddie to come up and copy your avatar, you'd be pretty pissed

lilac swan
#

That too

stable folio
#

I suppose

#

I always viewed it as "Im using it, thats all that matters" after I create my avatar

#

if somebody takes it, thats fine with me

#

Its mostly the convenience that I can simply pull up the avatar instead of going to an avatar world and going through the 1000s of avatars to find one

shy nest
#

im not really one to care if people "steal" mine because all I generally do is port them over and only recently started doing gestures

#

but i can see where people are coming from when they get angry about it

stable folio
#

Like I said earlier, the only thing I could see people getting angry over is the paid commissions

#

Since they paid for it, but

lilac swan
#

Additional and better avatar security can only lead to artist being more willing to upload their models to VRchat. I honestly don't see any downsides to this

stable folio
#

Only thing I'm concerned with, is lag. If it starts lagging the game, then I'll be annoyed.

shy nest
#

what about people that sink days/weeks into things like particles and shit?

stable folio
#

Bully for them I suppose

lilac swan
#

In my case, if having one blendshape always being active is causing any issues, then being able to play VRchat would be a miracle in itself

shy nest
#

wonder if anything is planned in regards to dealing with screen covering shaders

stable folio
#

I think vive locomotion options are more important than avatar theft prevention.

#

I haven't encountered that yet

#

can you not access menus?

shy nest
#

nope

#

or well you can but you cant see it

stable folio
#

Ah

lilac swan
#

The "panic button" that was implemented a while ago is a short term fix for that

shy nest
#

only way to deal with that is safe mode

stable folio
#

Yeah

polar rose
#

@stable folio some people spend literally hundreds of hours on an avatar and make it "just for them"

#

i'm one of these ppl - i do not want others using my work

stable folio
#

Sounds like a waste of time lol

#

well

polar rose
#

sounds like your opinion

stable folio
#

I guess you're learning the program very well

#

So there is that

#

Yeah, I'm aware of what an opinion is, thanks.

polar rose
#

i mean all gaming and VR etc boils down to being a "waste of time" at the end of the day

#

and yes i have never made anything for any game before, so i have learned a lot

stable folio
#

yeah tell me about it. I'm frigging wasting my time here instead of studying. EMAG2 sucks, don't become an engineering student

#

Self inflicted bash wounds are cheaper

#

I do like that communities like this encourage people to learn a program.

#

although i'm afraid i dont think i'll use blender ever in my professional life

polar rose
#

i've learnt that game development, while very complicated, can be a lot of fun. and honestly the most rewarding aspect of creating content for VRChat has been that i have a newfound respect for the work that goes into other games

#

having to go through the entire process of putting something into a game has kinda given me a new perspective on it idk

stable folio
#

Yeah, I can see that

#

I felt a similar experience in optics recently about mirrors

polar rose
#

quite literally a new perspective ๐Ÿ˜„

stable folio
#

Don't push your luck

#

lmao

polar rose
#

lol

stable folio
#

I've learned enough about software development in general

#

that I hate doing it

#

I don't like thinking in code

#

because originally I was going to go into a programmer-esque field

#

Doing something of the scope of even this is a hassle. Unity does make things easier obviously

#

Since a lot of work can just be bought from the store and they dont need to sit there and reinvent the wheel

#

my mind strayed halfway thru that last sentence smh

polar rose
#

unfortunately a lot of software dev and game dev too involves a lot of reinventing the wheel

#

constantly

#

the only reason im not a software dev is i suck way too hard at mathematics. so i chose another sub-industry of IT instead lol

stable folio
#

Yeah, if they have to create the engine rather than modifying one

#

Ah, nah i suck dick at math, but im still here in electrical engineering

#

well, i guess if you compared me to my peers. A lot of them solely go to school

#

I work and go to school fulltime so i can't study as much

polar rose
#

i mean it goes all the way down to assets as well. like every game studio out there probably has a completely different way of having a character throw a grenade. its kinda silly when you start thinking about the fact that the same thing in different games is probably radically fundamentally different behind the scenes

#

that sounds like not much free time left lol. i couldnt imagine doing a job when i was in university full time

How do I add a sign to let people know im streaming?

you could slap a avatar with like

'im streaming' or even classy with a camera with a light turned on

Made a TLDR guide for the anti-piracy measurement. Should be pretty self explanatory, set OriginalBasisShape to 100 on the skinned mesh renderer component and use NewMouth shapes for visemes/eyeblinking
It doesn't show in blender, but for unity you need to create those new shapes from mix. Otherwise when visemes activate the mesh transition between the "exploded" state and normal looking, which obviously looks bad and is undesirable. @polar rose

polar rose
#

interesting. is there something that masks these blendshapes from being available to avatar "pirates"?

lilac swan
#

Just doublecheck before uploading that you can activate OriginalBasisShape and NewMouth shapes at the same time in unity without the mesh exploding

#

When ripping avatar files from cache via the common ripping programs, blendshapes are tough, if not downright impossible to rip

#

So you can use that to your advantage

#

Obviously it's not 100% secure but it works flawless against the common tools

polar rose
#

that's good info to know. in an ideal world, all we'd need now is for the VRC team to make it so that the game modifies your blendshapes in this fashion, if that's possible.

#

but i imagine this is something that probably needs to happen at the blender stage and not as far along as the game

lilac swan
#

This process could probably be automated with a blender plugin

polar rose
#

having an "anti-piracy" button on CATs or something would be godlike.

lilac swan
#

I need to work on other stuff, but until I get around making that video please do let other people know about this and confirm it actually works great

polar rose
#

definitely, i saved your image and will pass it around my circles/groups

lilac swan
#

So far I've talked with a friend and he said he couldn't rip it, but I want to know the flaws with it and check with more people first

#

So I don't go around saying this works great, when it might have a gaping hole somewhere in it

polar rose
#

gotcha. well at least it's something promising

#

i'm too lazy to do it to my existing avatars so i'm probably just going to dis-use my super personal ones in pub lobbies, shove a nametag on everything, and make some other fun avatars.

lilac swan
#

Other than blendshapes, shaders are super hard to get aswell

#

So if your avatar highly depends on a very unique shader to look proper, then that's one way too

Anyone know Lewd.chan? I love two of his or her avatars but only way to get to his or her avatar world was the hub and that doesn't always show it.

I watched Ready Player One a day ago

#

now VRC isn't that fun

vocal shard
#

Movies, most of the time, exaggerates stuff.

opaque oriole
#

It's not because the movie was bad. It's because I loved the movie so much that it made VRC seem like a rip off of the Oasis

trail stirrup
#

it's because their avatars had more polygons

vocal shard
#

I wish that someday the polygon limit would increase, not by alot, but maybe just from 19,999 to 29,999

#

Heck, even 24,999 would be nice.

opaque oriole
#

well

#

in movies they don't use Polygons

#

they use this thing I forgot the name of

#

it takes longer to render

#

In The Oasis you could do alot more than you can do in VRChat

Does someone know how to take screenshots in VRChat? Google says it's Menu + Trigger but it's now working. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

vocal shard

Which one are you using?

subtle fox

Windows Mixed Reality.

vocal shard
#

And which menu button are you using? The VRC menu or the steamvr menu button?

subtle fox
#

Ohh, there's this button beside the sticks. Give me a sec.

#

There, the Trigger and Menu buttons described there is the button I'm pressing.

vocal shard
#

Try using the windows button.

#

Oh wait, it's different for WMR

subtle fox
#

Oh if I do that it goes to the "Mixed Reality Portal." haha.

Trigger + Joystick press.

rocky blaze
#

hearing about this new thing in vrchat where people are trying to break your gpu

marsh kettle
#

Huh?

rocky blaze
#

basicly they are crashing peoples GPUs violently

#

my friend had it happen all of a sudden

marsh kettle
#

Is this done in a ddos fashion

rocky blaze
#

no idea

marsh kettle
#

Thats crazy

rocky blaze
#

his vrchat started to lag a lot, crash and his pc was slow asf

#

i told him to reinstall his driver to see if it fixes it

marsh kettle
#

Did it work?

rocky blaze
#

no word back yet

marsh kettle
#

Huh? Good thing I just started to use the "block user avatar by default"

#

Just to make my audio not slow down

rocky blaze
#

his Vr is buggered

#

otherwise its fine

raven silo
#

best turn on friend only avatar mode then find that person block him

rocky blaze
#

his non vr games work fine so he's reinstalling steamvr

#

to see if that does it

marsh kettle
#

It might be a corrupted shader tjat the compiter is forced to download for those avatars

lethal meteor
#

Go into the crash log and Google the error code.

shell sage
#

guys i have some info and pictures about 3 guys using stolen avatars an crashing people wirh 2 crash avatars

vocal shard
#

omg i hate people

rocky blaze
#

yep my friend has done a disk clean up, reinstalled his graphics driver, his oculus stuff and it still lags to fuck

#

so either his headset or his gpu is fucked cause some asshole on vrchat has to ruin fun for everyone

#

Yea but thats not how games or computer parts work

hey

any one use vive

will getting a 3rd base station

make a better tracking?

raven silo

@wind gate vive only need 2 base it best tracking over rift

#

just need setup them correct

lilac swan
#

Currently you can only use one or two base stations for vive. A third one won't work.

#

However when the version 2 base stations come out you will be able to connect pretty much how many you want, so you can have a whole house set up with them if you really want

Getting mine in 2 weeks

Right on

#

Is that the average shipping time on them?

#

2? 3?

lilac swan
#

Getting 3 trackers

vocal shard
#

Nice

lilac swan
#

For VRchat you can only use one or three for full body

vocal shard
#

I'm in Canada. So it'd cost me like $400+ for 3 trackers

lilac swan
#

Hip plus each leg

vocal shard
#

I guess i'll get 3 then.

#

^ same

#

When they are in stock, that is.

lilac swan
#

Been waiting since like late January for my store to get them in stock

vocal shard
#

From vive site? They sell that fast?

#

Yeah everytime I go to the site they are always out.

#

I should check newegg

#

I don't think they have any on newegg.

#

Darn they don't sell trackers

I would just make sure to check the vive site every day. That how I managed to get trackers.
