It's the best you can do currently

ruby needle
#

Yes

supple swan
#

Ok, thanks xwx just worried about uploading a from-scratch avatar

ruby needle
#

I know your feeling

#

I use a different model in crowded and prone to stealing public worlds

umbral reef
#

Its kinda going without windows defender compared to with windows defender as virus protection

#

You can still get hit but its a lot harder

supple swan
#

I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been fixed yet. Has there been any word from the mods or devs about something happening that i may have missed?

ivory folio
#

Oh and by steal, I'm assuming you mean downloading it?

supple swan
#

Yeah

ruby needle
#

It's impossible to fully protect against ripping

ivory folio
#

Because they can still just change into it in game

meager solstice
#

Tbh it will never be 100%

supple swan
#

Wait

ruby needle
#

The thing that can and has to be fixed ia the ID based steal

supple swan
#

So even with Cats, they can just swap into it?

ivory folio
#

Yeah

meager solstice
#

Yes

supple swan
#

...

ivory folio
#

you can't stop that

supple swan
#

Welp, guess i'm not uploading the avatar ^w^;

ivory folio
#

as long as you know an avatar id, you can change into it

ruby needle
#

The ID steal doesn't give them the model files tho

ocean bramble
#

Swapping into it is not as bad as downloading it. Because they only have it temporarily

supple swan
#

I really wish that the dev would at least speak about the problem...

ivory folio
#

And most of the time they won't stay as your avatar

meager solstice
#

I mean convex even if they tried to fix it, someone will always find a way around it

ivory folio
#

They'll probably find someone else's to steal 5 mins later

ocean bramble
#

They just do it to get your reaction. They are not interested in keeping it

umbral reef
#

What would they have to say?

#

"Yea things fucked ok?"

supple swan
#

An attempt would be nice regardless xwx

ruby needle
#

The ID steal definitively needs to be addressed

umbral reef
#

They have made clear how to report those users if someone joins and asks for it đŸ€·

meager solstice
#

I use the same model no matter what lobby I am in, yes it’s a (complete original) but I’m not worried about it tbh

#

Worrying about my model literally in my opinion would ruin the game for me

ivory folio
#

Just take it as a compliment if someone steals your work

ruby needle
#

For mmds or similar maybe. But for originals it is not that easy

ocean bramble
#

Every update there are security improvements in the patch notes. So they are doing something

umbral reef
#

"Aaa what nice an cunt that nicks every avatar that looks ok stole mine"

supple swan
#

No need to be rude

meager solstice
#

I suggest u just don’t use the model in public lobbies, best thing u can do

umbral reef
#

Its a dumb statement imo so i just made clear why in a really sarcastic way GWnanamiLaceShrug

supple swan
#

Right, you are correct

#

the devs should do nothing

umbral reef
#

Being happy someone stole your things does not make anything better at all

#

Also-- I never said that at all

ivory folio
#

Getting mad does nothing either

supple swan
#

Well that's what I am saying

#

I haven't had my avatar stolen, i'm just worried it might be

#

and i think at least some effort to stop people from doing it in general would be nice

ruby needle
#

You never know if someone extrated it

umbral reef
#

So far i have seen people throwing up those annoying visuals that ruin your vision and or crash you are a bigger problem then avatar stealing
Atleast i find those people more then avatar thiefs

ivory folio
#

I feel like the public/private tag doesn't do much atm

ruby needle
#

It's for pedestrals

ivory folio
#

Private should restrict it to your user only

umbral reef
#

Its honestly how i expected it to work when i read the patch notes

meager solstice
#

It still wouldn’t stop someone from taking the model

ivory folio
#

Why not?

#

if its an api thing it would

umbral reef
#

Dont let an user with the wrong ID send a request for the server to give you that avatar ID?

ivory folio
#

Exactly

meager solstice
#

Technically u could still use 3rd party programs to just rip the model from the game. U would most likely only get the mesh or something but still they would have your model

#

Yes it would probably waste a lot of space on their storage device but there is always a way

ruby needle
#

That's the worse steal tho

ivory folio
#

Still prevents people from just clicking a couple times and changing into your avatar

ruby needle
#

Especially for original characters that get spread on download sites

meager solstice
#

The point I was trying to make, there will always be a way around the security, no matter how they attempt to fix it. Best thing to do is to stick to private worlds and hope none of your friends r scrumbags

#

Well with the model specifically

#

I worry about model security to but t the same time I believe that worrying about it to much would ruin vrc for me

amber spindle
#

Hey

#

I'm getting uh

#

"Unity package upload failed. Failed to optimize file for Upload"

#

Dunno if this is the right channel for that

umbral reef
#

Got the right unity version?

amber spindle
#

5.6.3p1

umbral reef
#

That should be the right one GWnanamiIllyaThink

amber spindle
#

Yeah, no idea what's wrong.

#

It's literally just a plane.

#

Like, a flat surface with some letters on it.

#

Maybe just try later?

ivory folio
#

Try turn future proofing off

languid pasture
#

Have anyone here check out the refuge map yet

tacit plank
#

You can always unchek the "optimize" button, but it sounds like there's a bigger problem that you should fix lol

amber spindle
#

Does it have to be fbx? I maaay have accidentally used an obj this time lol

ruby needle
#

An obj is just a mesh without Armature

quaint nova
#

I've been out for 2 month, just came back and found out that I am not allowed to publish avatars.

Help me plz :.(

#

Avatar ID steal idea : Add a check box in the SDK like "I'll be the only one using this avatar", use that flag as an index to check how many occurences of that said id happen to be in use, if more than one instance, then flag the offender for review, send an email to the owner asking him to reupload the Avatar to change the ID. Done no more drama. Won't stop cache rip technics though, but people having the knowledge to do so is way way lower.

floral aspen
#

Any security they add would have to be done at the server level, since you can literally just open up the SDK in a text editor and edit the code.

umbral reef
#

That is THE place to suggest things

thorny totem
#

Tidus the only input from the SDK is an indexable checkbox

#

everything have to be done on the server itself (scanning part i mean)

floral aspen
#

lol yeah, you're right. Its too early in the morning for me, okay? :p

thorny totem
#

that's fine ;)

umbral reef
#

But kane make an submission on the canny.io and link that here

i'm lazy today =P, but be my guest, take it as your own and submit it if you want

umbral reef

Dont like the copy work GWnanamiLaceShrug

thorny totem

you have my authorization =)

umbral reef
#

Still dont enjoy doing it

thorny totem
#

it's in the public domain now, so whoever want to, can, but i'm sure they are reading ;)

So uh, hey. I am still messing with my first MMD avatar. Am referring to Tupper's tutorial, and am currently trying to manually atlas the textures. Should I ask my questions here?

Yeah

either one

👈👏

fervent crypt
#

How much oculus sensors should i have?

ruby needle
#

depends on your room

#

2 sensors can work for 360 if placed right

#

3 are the recommendet setup tho

#

4 if you use a big placespace

fervent crypt
#

should i have like 1 sensor in front of me and other behind me?

ruby needle
#

my 2 sensor 360 setup is like this

fervent crypt
#

sensors must be connected to pc all the time right?

ruby needle
#

ofc

fervent crypt
#

how long is the wire

ruby needle
#

they work on USB 2.0 tho

#

so you can use a long 2.0 extension

#

a 3.0 extension would be better tho

#

but i personally have no bad experiences from 2.0 only

thorny totem
#

USB 3.0 for the sensors though otherwise it switch to jpg mode, less accurate

ruby needle
#

not from my experiences

thorny totem
#

it is

ruby needle
#

it works just fine wiht a 2 sensor 360 setup

#

and i have both of them on 2.0

#

and i cover a rather long distance per sensor.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

thorny totem
#

it works but it's not optimal, as i said. Better keep the usb2 for the headset itself

ruby needle
#

let's say. try it if tracking is to bad get a thrid sensor and be done

#

getting a propper 3.0 extension is like 1/3 of a new sensor allready 😄

thorny totem
#

i said less accurate ;), not bad. Jpg is compressed so, more artifacts possible

ruby needle
#

from a technically side it is worse yes

thorny totem
#

yes

ruby needle
#

but form the result it can be just as fine

thorny totem
#

Doc did some tests, there is a notable difference, now you may not catch it

ruby needle
#

what kind of tests cirBaka

#

tracking is very VERY room and setup dependant

#

from the positions to lighting

thorny totem
#

Kind that are relevant, scientific one, check Doc_ok

#

but if you're fine with it no problem of course

ruby needle
#

still hope i can afford a thrid sensor in the next months to cover some death spots i still have

#

with only 2 sensors you ofc only get one ensor tracking when your back is facing the other one

#

but generally it works pretty well cirPrise

thorny totem
#

yes it's way better, you can in that case use 2xUSB3 and 1xUSB2

ruby needle
#

nope

#

not long enogh 3.0 cables / extensions

#

but the thrid can be 3.0

#

thats one big issue with 3.0

#

distance

thorny totem
#

a good USB3 PCIE card could do the job unless it's a laptop

ruby needle
#

nah

#

i can live with tracking of 2 sensors on 360, and the third alone will add a lot more precision

#

and if thats even 3.0 it is more then fine 😛

thorny totem
#

sure as long as it work for you, the bigger the space, the higher the problems tend to appear (jpg quality wise)

ruby needle
#

yeah for really big spaces it might be way more torubleing

thorny totem
#

if you have some jumping controllers it could be a sign (tracking errors)

vocal shard

Okay so, Vrchat keeps wanting to crash on me no matter what, I don't move or do anything and I still crash, it doesn't close the game but it brings up a spinning vrchat logo, says 'loading' and then says "Logging in username...", Sometimes even doesn't respond, So I'm trying to see how I can get this shit fixed, I've tried EVERYTHING under the sun, clearing cache, restarting computer, and for some reason it even glitches out my wifi sometimes, so I don't know

#

(I'm on desktop btw)

ruby needle
#

did you only clean the cache?

#

or did you also delete the temp and registry entries?

vocal shard
#

only cleared the cache, it couldn't been anything else possibly because it started happening ever since I joined a specific world

ruby needle
#

it can

#

the command there will clear all, cache, temp and registry

fast bronze
#

great, watch out for the crash guns again people, had one black out my windows untill i relogged to my pc

#

forced my pc to 100% usage, this could potentially damaged my cpu left unchecked

vague slate
#

yea right thanks for your deep computer insight

white saffron
#

oof

thorny totem
#

@ruby needle here : 2 commands you may submit a .bat, but work as it is (clean the cache) and option can be added to clean files older than X days

#

forfiles -p "%AppData%..\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat\VRCHTTPCache" -s -m * /C "cmd /c del @path"

wow i literally have an email that says the date i got unbanned

now i get banned for that wtf

ruby needle

did you use a second account during your time?

languid beacon
#

When I used CubedParadox's Flat Lit Toon shader in Fade mode (so I can use partially transparent textures), it ends up entirely invisible. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

ruby needle
#

you might wanna ask in the avatars section

languid beacon
#

👌

ruby needle
#

thats the right channels for this kind of question cirComfy

no

why do u think i kept complaing when the kept extending my ban

and now it finally unbanned 5 days ago and now this wtf

limber kayak

I tried posting on the vrsubreddit and I'm not having much luck. So, about  days ago, I can no longer use people's public avatars! I get a weird warning sign. But all my friends can use them just fine, and I used to be able too as well! What's going on?

vocal shard
#

hai

limber kayak
umbral reef
#

Well read what it says...

#

Make a public instance of that room and you should be able to get the avatars

limber kayak
#

Obviously, but why? It's random with what rooms I get this in

#

I did!

#

and all my friends can use them

umbral reef
#

Public instance as not friends+ and private and ect?

limber kayak
#

I'm not too sure what you mean, they're just people who i was talking to at the time who followed me into the room

#

but theyre not on my friends list

umbral reef
#

Then big odds it was a non public instance and they got the ability to upload avatars (so they can also select them from a private world

limber kayak
#

and the rooms are public rooms listed under avatar worlds

#

I double checked and it was listed as public

#

many people were telling me that until they went in with me and thought it was strange that only I can't use them

#

one person mentioned you have to have 50 hours in the game but I'm not so sure on that

umbral reef
#

The 50 hour thing is bullshit

limber kayak
umbral reef
#

Cant be assed to find the copy paste but there is no set limit for anyone to play

limber kayak
#

where as there were 15 other random people in the room using them just fine

#

thought so

umbral reef
#

Just need enough hours but we dont know what enough means as its diffrent for everyone

http://help.vrchat.com/knowledge_base/topics/why-cant-i-upload-avatars-or-worlds-yet

#

tho, we are talking about using a steam account

limber kayak
#

I have 40 hours in the game, im using a steam account, im not trying to upload

ruby needle
#

and those can't get verified

limber kayak
#

just use other peoples public avatars

#

which I was able to use just fine a few days ago

languid beacon
#

Yes this is new and didn't exist before, basically, if you can't upload your own avatars, you also can't use world avatars unless it's a PUBLIC (not private, not invite, not friends, not friends+, PUBLIC) instance.

#

once you have the ability to upload your own avatars, you can also grab world avatars from non-public worlds, too

#

People were just using private worlds to get around the "no custom avatars yet" restriction

limber kayak
#

The world is listed as public

languid beacon
#

Then that sounds like a bug

ruby needle
#

i gues this is to prevent uncertified acounts to pick crash avatars of a private avatar world with those avatars in them

limber kayak
#

Ah hm

ruby needle
#

but yeah, if its public, it should not behave like that cirThink

limber kayak
#

thanks for the info

languid beacon
#

it is possible to have a private avatar pedistal in a public world, though

#

I don't know why people do that, but I've seen it

limber kayak
#

Oh. Hm, but the room used to work just fine for me 3-4 days ago

languid beacon
#

They could have updated it.

limber kayak
#

and random people around me can use them who have steam accounts too

#

thats true

languid beacon
#

Feel free to add me an invite me, I'm a VRChat account, I just play via Steam

limber kayak
#

so can a steam account never be verified?

languid beacon
#

There might be some confusion

ruby needle
#

no Apidooda

languid beacon
#

EVERYONE plays via Steam

ruby needle
#

as far as i know not

limber kayak
#

Right, but I sign in via steam

languid beacon
#

but you can either log into the steam version via a steam account or a vrchat account

#

and yes if you use a steam accn't you can't get an avatar inventory or upload stuff

limber kayak
#

Aaah ok ok I

#

sorry bird walking on keyboard, I'll have to make a Vrchat account then

languid beacon
#

I don't know why they even give people the option to use steam accounts if they result in a gimped account

umbral reef
#

Best to swap to an VRC acc so you wont have problems with moving over friends

#

As you gotta do it manually

ruby needle
#

because convenience i gues Adeon

umbral reef
#

Im still for the idea to swap steam accounts name to guest accounts GWnanamiLaceShrug

ruby needle
#

but there really has to be a REALLY BIG HINT

#

to the drawbacks of using it

languid beacon
#

I know but I keep talking to people in hubs and they're all like "WAIT YOU CAN JUST CHANGE AVATARS TO W/E YOU WANT?"

limber kayak
#

How do you swap to a vrc account oclac? i thought you just make a new one and you have to re-add friends

ruby needle
#

yes thats how to do it

#

there is no migration system yet

limber kayak
#

oh ok. oclac mentioned not having problems moving over friends so i thought there was an easier way lol

umbral reef
#

You make an account
You stay logged into your steam one
Go onto the VRC website, log into there, search for all your added friends and send them a request
After all that is done you can log into your VRC acc

#

Well, the longer you play via steam the more works it is

ruby needle
#

i guess he means readding them and staying in contact wasn't as bad as feared cirLaugh

languid beacon
#

It's actually better if all your friends, friend request your new account 👀

ruby needle
#

^ yes

umbral reef
#

Its a pain to find some peeps you want to keep added though

#

I got like a guy i have not joined for 2 months by now but we both talk on discord at random times

#

So we dont want to remove eachother

ruby needle
#

one thing you might wanna do is create the account but stay on steam then

#

join them and tell em you will switch soon

#

and to add your new account

limber kayak
#

i'll do that thanks guys

Does anyone have a photo of gestures for vrchat on the Vive, and perhaps even Oculus...

ruby needle

A photo of gestures?

umbral reef
#

I know what you mean and i have seen photo's for both

#

Lemme see

languid beacon
#

Oculus is simple, just do the thing you wanna do with your real life hand

#

vive is a bit more complicated but yah hold on

#

hi, anyone seen those super fancy animations that has like 10000+ particles rendered in gpu?

languid beacon
#

Hi! No I haven't, I block them too quickly

surreal silo
#

how do they do that... without scripts? or are they cheating and got scrips to work somehow

ruby needle
#

yeah

#

compute shaders

surreal silo
#

or partially

ruby needle
#

its shaders

languid beacon
#

looks like shaders to me

ruby needle
#

compute shaders

umbral reef
#

Shaders are op as fuck

#

Same that a low poly thing can still look insanely detailed with the proper materials

languid beacon
#

shader code is an language, it's not TECHNICALLY scripting, but it is full on logical code.

ruby needle
#

yes

#

and its on the GPU side

#

thus can do a hell of a lot more then the shurikens

surreal silo
#

ive been trying to find examples but all of them seem to have scripts one way or another 😩

ruby needle
#

which use the CPU too

languid beacon
#

put it this way, i'm a scripter, but I'm afraid of shader code

surreal silo
#

i want to render a particle effect in GPU... the problem is that lets say you got a particle system with 20-30 particles

#

the moment you start rotating that particle system.. it lags stupidly

#

is shaders that scary :(?

ruby needle
#

compute shaders for this kind of stuff are

the shuriken system is extremely easiy in comparrison 😄

surreal silo
#

a what O-o

#

-imagines naruto somewhere-

ruby needle
#

the thing unity uses is called the shuriken particle system

#

afaik cirThink

vocal shard
#

if you want to get into shader coding but you don't wanna learn the language i highly recommend cheking out shader forge

#

it is quite easy to use and you can do a lot with it

sage pewter
#

and it's free now

vocal shard
#

it is?

#

wait wut

ruby needle
#

once we update unity

vocal shard
#

i paid 40bucks for that fml

ruby needle
#

we can use the one in new unity

sage pewter
#

We'll all be old by then

vocal shard
#

anyways there are a lot good shader forge tutorials out there if someone has trouble with all the nodes

#

but it is really a powerful tool

#

you can also load existing shaders into it and see how they're build

#

which increases the learning curve a lot

surreal silo
#

well alot of ones im trying to find involve scripts 😩

#

with shaders

#

like kvant

vocal shard
#

then you need to figure out workarrounds

#

i for example had one shader which also used a script

#

and i got a workaround for it

#

took me a week but still

surreal silo
#

also i think shaderforge is still good, especially since it seems vrchat will be locked to a old version of unity

#

which makes me sad, because the latest version of unity DOES have a GPU option for particles

ruby needle
#

updates will come

#

but its not just done with a snap

ivory folio
#

and shader graph

#

much better than shader forge

vocal shard
#

yeah

surreal silo
#

bah ill stick to my subpar particles for now

vocal shard
#

im pretty sure in a year or so we are able to use a decent unity version

#

at least i hope so^^

ruby needle
#

i can already hear the screams of people not knowing that wipes are also things that can happen in alphas and then screaming the hell out of it cirMini

vocal shard
#

i don't think a wipe would be a big deal tbh

ruby needle
#

for worlds it would be not that great

vocal shard
#

there is no problem converting current worlds to a newer unity version

#

some worlds might have to make some small adjustments but overall it wouldn't be problem

ruby needle
#

i heard the opposite from the firwst update

umbral reef
#

Ow my that driver fix

#

That is awesome for plenty of people

midnight harness
#

hey

#

whats up

#

alright, quick question. i have a gtx 970 and can run altspaceVR fine at like 90 fps. but vrchat runs like shit. and looks alot worst. what the fuck

tender nova
#

vrchat's optimization err

#

needs work~

midnight harness
#

yea.

tender nova
#

i have a gtx 1060 and it still runs at like 11 fps when i start the game sometimes lmao

#

and takes up 100 percent gpu

midnight harness
#

970 is almost 1060. with a slight overclock.

tender nova
#

yeh~ it's the game!

midnight harness
#

hahahahaha

#

are there any plans to optimize it?

raven silo
#

Vrchat only program for one CPU

#

need update to 2018 unity

median basalt
#

It's the CPU stuff

#

VRC is horribly optimized in terms of CPU usage, GPU barely even matters anymore

vivid grove
#

let's hope they switch to gpu once they're out of alpha... or better yet, do that instead of making detrimental trust systems

median basalt
#

They're not gonna fix performance issues, certainly not any time soon

#

At best, they will try and prevent it from becoming worse

covert chasm
#

Technically speaking VRChat uses more than one core, but mostly uses one.

#

A lot of the optimization issues can be solved by having optimized avatars. Being in a room with 30 people all wearing very optimized avatars will result in pretty dang good performance.

#

Not ALL the optimization issues, but a lot of them.

raven silo
#

best have less people in world dont go over 60 people in room

covert chasm
#

60 is obscene even if everyone's at 1 draw call in generic avatars. sweat

vivid grove
#

I wonder how many polies you can have before optimization doesn't eliminate lag. so far, I've seen the bar go at 300,000

median basalt
#

Yeah, but people aren't prevented from making unoptimized stuff, that's the problem.

covert chasm
#

Polygon count isn't really what you should focus on. Focus on reducing your material count via atlasing and keep your dynamic bone usage to a minimum (or don't use it at all)

median basalt
#

It's not just the avatars either

covert chasm
#

Dynamic bones is hoooooorrible

#

for performance

median basalt
#

Instead we get this stupid poly limit that doesn't matter, rather than a proper dynamic bone and material limit

raven silo
#

yea to many Dynamic bone and mirrors kill fps

covert chasm
#

We're working on ways to solve the issues. It isn't as simple as "slap a limit on X", unfortunately.

median basalt
#

It would certainly help

covert chasm
#

and general optimization, of course 😄

median basalt
#

Nobody needs 50 materials

#

And yet, that is what is allowed

#

But 21k polys is not

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vivid grove
#

I might just try practicing optimizing on static objects. I'm going to be using a wild hunt ship sometime anyway

covert chasm
#

Regardless, we're more than aware of the problems with both standing systems and user's avatars. I can't tell you much more than "we're working on it" at the moment.

vivid grove
#

lord knows how many materials that has

covert chasm
#

It could have one if you atlas it cirThink

vivid grove
#

gonna have to look that up unless it's a one button thing I can do in blender

raven silo
#

cat plugin

vivid grove
#

got that

raven silo
#

or watch tupper video on altas

covert chasm
#

Some guy made a video on YouTube on how to make good atlases for VRChat avatars cirThink

raven silo
#

manual

median basalt
#

We need a better automatic atlasing tool tbh

covert chasm
#

Its hard. UVing isn't easy for a computer to do on its own.

median basalt
#

The fact that CATS now combines materials by default is a good step

covert chasm
#

Smart UV Project is the best that exists and it isn't great.

raven silo
#

givemeallyour cats and hotox try imporve on it

#

just take time

median basalt
#

Yeah, but what about something that tiles the textures and scales/moves the UV maps accordingly? I know that process should be automatable

#

Of course it's not without issues

#

But it would be pretty good for a bunch of cases

covert chasm
#

Has problems, could be automated.. but takes 10 minutes to do once you've got the process down

median basalt
#

Yeah, atlasing is pretty easy once you've done it a few times

#

But not many people do it, because they're not forced or encouraged to do so at all

covert chasm
#

VRChat creation is like any other creative skill-- it takes practice to learn and do well

raven silo
#

@median basalt back then if you want a model you had to do it manual with no easy tools

#

back then

vivid grove
#

I may need to learn how to do all optimizations because decimating a 60,000 poly witcher avatar to 20,000 does not look great at all

raven silo
#

there was not many avatar worlds

covert chasm
#

Decimation is not an ideal tool. It isn't really meant for the usage we use it for

#

in a perfect world, people would model their own avatars with the 20k limit in mind, but even then there's problems. Normal maps and etc can help

vivid grove
#

besides, not everyone who plays vrchat knows how to model and most get avatars off the web

covert chasm
#

I didn't know how to model until I tried 🙃

#

(i'm still not very good)

vivid grove
#

same with me and rigging (at least bahamut)

raven silo
#

just take 3 to 7 month learn 3d modeling then get it down

indigo fern

indigo fern
#

i'll try it, thanks

median basalt
#

Despite the talk about limits not being the answer, the devs seem to cling rather hard to the 20k limit

raven silo
#

@median basalt i agree the material should be limit first before raise the polygon

Does anyone know the name of the avatar world that has a super sayian blue evolution Vegeta cuz I can’t find it and I’ve tried everything that I can possibly think of

jolly totem
#

Is there a way to scale Unity up to like 115 maybe 120%? The window size that is, because I am having a hard time reading some of the stuff

languid beacon
#

I'm new to Unity packages in general. As I understand it, some packages, like Dynamic bones, can't be distributed because they're something you buy. Cubed Paradox's shaders however, I got from a friend for free, so I'm not sure how one legitimately gets them, and I also don't know if they're OK to package and give to friends. Are they?

inner cape
#

Cubed Shader a free asset.

languid beacon
#

Ok!

#

Thanks

#

Does anyone know where they originally come from? I see CubedParadox is an Team Member here, so I'd think they're official?

inner cape
#

People often share paid assets too, it can't really be tracked and stopped.

languid beacon
#

yeah I just don't want to step on toes

#

I have no problem paying people for stuff

I just don't always know when I'm supposed to

ok yea, this place has some cooooool worlds, too bad they empty

dusky pelican

maybe i was kidding.

royal pond
#

Re the conversation earlier on atlasing it doesn’t really make sense to enforce having strictly one material since clothing and skin have vastly different properties and if you have a shader that accounts for them then you’ll realize you actually need more than one material on a mesh. So I’d expect somewhere in the rage of 3 to 5 materials necessary to make an avatar (at least one that resembles a human) look right. 3 being the bare minimum for skin hair and cloth

still lark
#

most people use the same shader for all

royal pond
#

Well it goes beyond shader, one thing that can’t simply be atlassed is a sphere texture for a material.

#

Which are coming to VRChat for certain, I’ve got my hands on a capable shader

vocal shard
#

Have the mods stopped trying to make sure the maps they approve are, well, anything?

#

We world hopped to a literal grey plane with a black skybox

#

Another world was a black box with nothing but a campfire in it

#

Even a white plane with a mirror and a single avatar is better than that thonk

#

And this isn't even taking into account the black box with the text "NOTHING" in it.

lilac swan
#

They're not breaking any rules, why should they be declined? World approval has never been about "Your world must be this cool to be public".

vocal shard
#

You used to see rejections due to "world is nothing but a plane and a mirror"

lilac swan
#

imo in your examples, a black skybox and campfire is much more effort put into rather than a default plane and mirror prefab.

vocal shard
#

The black skybox and a grey plane though.

#

What this means is, if that's the lowest bar, it does open up things thonk

lilac swan
#

Sounds like it's still changed, even if extremely little.

vocal shard
#

Ah, the map funposting you can do as long as you stay within the rules.

lilac swan
#

And yeah, if you don't like it then just don't visit. Let it fall into obscurity.

long venture
#

I wonder if I can import roblox games in when playmaker is available shana

lilac swan
#

To me very low effort worlds like that are a non-issue.

long venture
#

But the script would have to be altered

#

Worlds can be weird in vrc 😂

#

Sometimes people just prefer a box with a mirror

#

I'm actually pretty confused about avatar worlds

Like some avatars can have a gigantic music sphere and tons of effect

And even have audio that defies the sdk limit but it's allowed

vocal shard
#

Its cuz you can animate the range on the animation component

#

That is also bannable

#

Ok so I build the eye blinking thing onto my model in blender cat tools

#

But where do I put them in unity

vocal shard
#

Hey guys

#

1 question

#

is this the general chat where everyone talks?

ruby needle
#

this is the chat for general talk about vrchat related content

vocal shard
#

All the 3 main chats are where people talk

#

where is the main chat

#

where everyone talks

ruby needle
#

public lobby is the same but can go more offtopic and everyone can write

vocal shard
#

which is the most active

ruby needle
#

and random chat is the main offtopic chat

vocal shard
#

from all

ruby needle
#

mixxed

vocal shard
#

gona take a shower

#

i guess cya xd

#

#

Except at public you need to stay somewhat SFW, at general you also need to stay SFW but can ask for help for VR related stuff, while at random you can make NSFW innuendos but can't put NSFW things there, but are generally more free to cause chaos there

vocal shard
#

KK

ruby needle
#

All channels are to be kept SFW

#

random chat even specifically mentions it in the description

brittle bloom
#

im so fucking pissed some guy in a lucio avatar used a crash emote on me and it crashed me and now it doesnt let me play vrchat it says my graphics card blocked vrchat

ruby needle
#

uhm... sure

brittle bloom
#

?

ruby needle
#

"it says my graphics card blocked vrchat" take a screenshot please

brittle bloom
#

it says it is blocked from accessing graphics hardware

#

its a windows notification thing

#

so idk how to screen shot it

#

i can call you and share screens

ruby needle
#

just take a screenshot

brittle bloom
#

i just said i didnt know how to take a screenshot

ruby needle
#

press the print key and paste the screenshot you just created inm your clipboard to paint then upload it to a image hoster like imgur or what not

brittle bloom
#

where is the print key?

ruby needle
#

it... is labled like that cirBaka

#

might be shorter like Prt Sc or something

#

basically "Print Screen"

brittle bloom
#

i did print screen my screen flashed and nothing popped up

ruby needle

open paint and paste it using ctrl + v

it should be in your clipboard now

it isd

please reboot your PC

which i guess you have not done yet?

brittle bloom
#

ive not done

ruby needle

thats the number one thing to do 😉

the block might have been a thing to prevent graphics driver crashing

#

no idea about how windows 10 works in that regard

severe wind
#

Hello how long will it take until I can upload Avatars with Unity?

ruby needle
#

Being allowed to upload is based on reaching a certain trust score which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.

You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner, walking around, meeting people and also makeing some friends. Idling wont help.
According to many responses in this discord the typical time it takes seems to be between 20-40 hours but big exceptions are possible.

Make sure you are not logged in to your steam account by accident and play the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

homework is a joke 😄

severe wind

I know xD

ruby needle

im not wasting my freetime with school when i got to school for that

severe wind
#

but still I want a good grade

vocal shard
#

Homework does almost nothing to your general success, and no one asks if you have done homework to accept you into their schools...

ruby needle
#

the issue is teachers giving bad notes for it

vocal shard
#

They act like it matters

#

Even though they do nothing about it unless it's pointed out

ruby needle
#

cirThink what

#

when homework is checked and you dont have it and the teacher gives you a bad note for not having done it then that is bad and matters

severe wind
#

yep

vocal shard
#

I did most of my homework, except when for some times when I was sick, or wasn't focused enough to do em

#

But I don't count those because I called in sick, they forgot I was a student in that class, or I just said that I'll do them as extras

#

And so, to me homework seems pointless

ruby needle
#

pointless (for some) but doing them still matters

#

even if you didnt have bad influence from the checks getting bad notes is possible and likely for others if you refuse to do them regularely.

vocal shard
#

I did them often enough

#

But again, not all of em

#

Maybe like 38% of homework that I was given I didn't do

severe wind
#

well

#

xD

pearl jasper

hey in the patch notes it states "Many safety and security fixes have been implemented" does this mean no more avatar stealing or what

muted canyon
#

Hi I've sometimes streamers have something like a twitch window around their arm for quick access. Which app would that be?

ruby needle
#

there is multiple ways, the first would be OpenVRDesktopDisplay Portal or OVRDrop

muted canyon
#

Ah "Open VR Desktop Display Portal" found it thanks 😅

ruby needle
#

the sencond would be OpenVRTwitchChat which is a bit like them but has the twithc thing integrated and doesnt need to run a window capture

#

if its just twitch i would recommend the second performance wise for vrchat

vocal shard
#

And it's free

ruby needle
#

OVRDDP does unfortunaly only run on CPU (while OVP Drop does have GPU capabilities on W10)

muted canyon
#

would be for discord, but hm I want every performance I can get

ruby needle
#

if its for discord then you only have OVDDP or OVRDrop

#

OVR drop is the "newer version"

#

but costs money

lol that's a softlock

The random logouts happen sometimes when you lose connection

Eh i just removed the shoe laces

#

As they are 99% under my pants anyway

#

But its first time for me to eat--
Only ate a single bread piece this morning and nothing else while its already 7 pm

vocal shard
#

oof

#

go eat pls

#

nutrition is a huge factor in being awake in vrchat and not making noises and slumping half dead till your controllers run out of charge and you disconnect

#

Why do characters have to talk during one of the most epic chare up scenes reeee

vocal shard
#

use voice remover ghoost

#

#

but will help

umbral reef
#

Well rin i had to burry my dog today so that might explain why i ate even worse then normal today

Just use Lanis Space duck sound, that always does the job

#

Or just use a barrage of NĂź

So, is there any way to deal with the client crashers? I seem to be running into them constantly now. Is the only solution really turning off all avatars and muting everyone? Sorta kills the fun.

Could try reporting them if you can catch their name

#

If they catch them, maybe an ip ban can be issued

umbral reef
#

If you crash do not reboot the game
First get the loggs and email them towards moderation@vrchat.com so they can find the user and ban them

arctic cradle
#

@umbral reef thanks for the tip, I didn’t even know you could do that upon crashing

#

Def gonna start reporting

umbral reef
#

Someone else will prob explain how to get the loggs and ect in a second

#

I cant recall and am today not willingly to look it up again

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt

vocal shard
#

If you get crashed again use this link...

#

And do not relogin after a crash because your output log will get reset

Hi, anyone know where to change the avator measure in unity?

#

@modern kernel As in, the scale/size?

#

Has anyone had issues with the SDK recognizing their play time when logging in through steam to play?

ruby needle
#

steam cant get verified

#

your vrchat account counts

#

and on that time is also not the factor

#

Being allowed to upload is based on reaching a certain trust score which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.

You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner, walking around, meeting people and also makeing some friends. Idling wont help.
According to many responses in this discord the typical time it takes seems to be between 20-40 hours but big exceptions are possible.

Make sure you are not logged in to your steam account by accident and play the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

Thanks for the info

#

I hope they integrate steam api in the future for the hours

ruby needle
#

actually steam is more supposed to be a guest account

Hi new to the VR world just got my HP MR set. And started playing VRchat. im having issues with lag and being cutoff everysecond.

hazy river
#

does anyone know if it is possible to download models from lolking.net?

inner cape
#

Negative.

hazy river
#

are there any other sites i can get league models from?

surreal bobcat
#

Question! What does "Please add a scene descriptor or avatar descriptor to your project." mean exactly?

#

I'm a complete unity noob

ruby needle
#

i really dont know how much more descriptive that error message could be cirBaka

There are 6300 users in VRChat currently

kindred glacier
#

uh

#

why do i sometimes randomly go back to my main house?

winged quartz
#

hax, server issues or internet connection

ruby needle
#

instable connection is a common cause

winged quartz
#

Yes

winged quartz
#

But people can kick you from a server now

ruby needle
#

but kick's should come with a message cirThink

kindred glacier
#

when i get kicked i dont see them while voting is still

winged quartz
#

Nope

kindred glacier
#

active

winged quartz
#

They can kick you back home with no alert

kindred glacier
#

but the same happened to my buddy aswell

winged quartz
#

It's a new hack I guess

#

Also

#

Deactivate ipv6

#

My internet connection sometimes just die because of it

ruby needle
#

you shouldn't deactiavte it completely

#

it will cause issues on other ends

#

ipv6 is the new standart that is getting more and more implemented

rocky blaze
#

i had something on my vrchat that i wasn't supposed to

#

there was a muted mic icon, a grey circle with LIVE next to it and 2 symbols of added or number of friends on

#

at the top right of my screen

median basalt
#

Probably just some guy with a shader

#

We get that like every 5 minutes in this chat lol

rocky blaze
#

but i went back to my home and it was still there

#

but after restart game it was gone and went to the same world i noticed it

median basalt
#

Maybe it's a hack or something, people with modded clients can do a lot of bad stuff

gritty sonnet
#

Um

#

There's a video I just got sent

#

Of a hacker

#

What is this

#

It kicks the people he shoots

ivory folio

wow that's a new level of crashing

#

#

how old is that video?

The state of hackers

About the video : another one that will come around saying " I don't understand, i see banned, then banned for 4 years, i've done nothing". Anyways, as i said already if the server logs are verbose enough about the kind of disconnect these users suffer, a simple algo could help to reveal and put an evident flag over the hacker "script kiddies" heads. IF X is always present when A B C...+n crash for Z reason in V amount of time, with enought itteration could pinpoint the guy. Basic, not heavy to put in place at all

vocal shard
#

^^^^^^^^^^ this

#

there should be a script kiddie detection algorithm, like the trust system they implemented

#

they already can tell when you actually interact with others, so why should it be hard to know if one is the perpetrator of a client exploit or a script damaging other users?

thorny totem
#

because these exploit a specific flaw, not easy to see if at all from a server perspective

#

they can check for a modified client, or scan the memory, lock the SDK but not much at all

vocal shard
#

seriously tho, something that would actually fix this is a hardcoded signature inside the client's exploitable areas that is deleted upon the user's alteration of the client's data, and that signature is verified with login, start-up and/or update. if the verifaction fails it registers it as a modded client and shuts down.

#

wouldn't prevent them from hacking, but they won't be able to log on which will reduce hacker count

thorny totem
#

they know when a client is modified already

vocal shard
#

so why don't they block modded clients?

#

or they do but ip addresses are changed often?

thorny totem
#

they do but not immediatly i suppose

vocal shard
#

well, another option is to ban steam accounts or turn them into guest accounts with extremely limited access

#

most script kiddies are steam accounts from my experience

#

they just modify the steam edition and run amuck till they're banned, then laugh about how they "triggered those normies"

thorny totem
#

steam or not, IP seems to be the target for now, HWID someday maybe

vocal shard
#

maybe they should use their copyrights

#

to get the sites for downloading modded clients shut down

#

it is a violation

thorny totem
#

but they should be clever than that, not banning at all, just screwing with them could be a better lesson, something like your account is locked to : Basic avatar and no sound for X months, Inverted Vrchat (screen upside down) for X months, VRchat "disconnect edition" sending them home every 3 minutes, you name it, bully the bullies for some time.

vocal shard
#

or

#

they could give them my vrchat experience

#

like this

#

extreme lag, broken skyboxes, 30 of rooms inaccessible because of serious errors, screenshot taking causes client to stop responding, everything is blaring colors like you're using a battered HP WMR headset, tracking loses its shit every 2 seconds, and controller softlock till they reboot their pc and entire gear

#

oh and 16 youtube-downloader-dl processes breaking the back out of their CPU

#

and a generic room takes 3 hours to load and everything loads in decimals (if you're lucky)

#

#

laptop

#

i want to get a pc soon

#

it barely does

#

i dont have one

#

i use Google cardboard

#

sometimes

#

other times I'm in desktop mode

thorny totem
#

The tracking errors are on your side, HP is known for this kind of issues. Seems that you have a low end hardware, but i get it, it could kill your experience

vocal shard
#

I'm just saying they could do this to hackers

#

theyd abandon the heck out of the game

thorny totem
#

nah not to much, just enough to make a point

vocal shard
#

i just play it because I've met this super nice guy who uses the same character as mine and we're good pals

thorny totem
#

it could be more productive than a ban at the end, but you know

#

never touched an actual vr in my life except for Google cardboard so idk
