@lofty furnace Whilst there's no blanket sure-fire fix for it, we can at least be vigilant on reporting the asses.
If they're going to give me the inconvenience of restarting my game, I'll give them the inconvenience of losing their friend list and having to reupload all their avatars.
They can make new accounts and bypass ip bans, but I'm still going to give them a reason to re-consider using those things.
vocal shard
unfortunately
most of them only have the inconvenience of losing their friend list
doesn't stop me from reporting their ass though
ruby burrow
I've got a friend who keeps talking about wanting to get his own crash beam. I've been trying to persuade him away from the idea.
Besides the obvious reasons, it also makes you look like a childish ass just talking about it.
vocal shard
the only purpose which i made my own crash beam
is to test the particle limiter XD
and i got rid of it immediately after that
ruby burrow
Sounds fair enough.
vocal shard
i don't believe in the use crash beam to protect myself from avatar stealer bullshit
if anything, they might steal your crash beam, and make matters worse
umbral reef
If you crash the thief's they still got your shit and you risk getting banned so....
ruby burrow
I've already heard of a case of just that. Someone was complaining that someone stole their avatar, and then used their own crash beam on them.
umbral reef
Imo anyone who uses a crashgun on another person that did not agree to it should be punished
IRL you don't Batman crimes against you do why get an hero complex and do it ingame
ruby burrow
I was hit by a blatant crash beam myself just an hour ago in the pug. Managed to screenshot the user doing it though, so hopefully they'll be stuck relying on low speed VPNs to access the game in future.

vocal shard
@ruby burrow might want to consider recording your gameplay next time
a lot easier to gather evidence
though i have to clean the folder every once in a while
ruby burrow
I don't have the hardware to handle recording. Just playing normally I'll crash occasionally.
@stable aurora https://i.imgur.com/1FgHod0.gif A character from 'Black Rock Shooter'.
ruby burrow
The one you get activate from the menu?
ruby burrow
Yep. And if you have VR you get the VR Screenshot Camera and Stream Camera also.
ruby burrow
Makes some kinda wide angle panorama image thing. I've only used it once.
The camera that you see other people using with a little floating lens is VR only yeah.
azure wren
ripp
ruby burrow
VR users need it since lining up regular screenshots is awkward and poor quality in VR, due to the way the screens work.
azure wren
yeah i can tell
bitter bone
As far as anybody knows
Has anybody posted Steven Universe characters to this game?
Like I feel like I should expect there to be a big world somewhere with all them
ruby burrow
For example, here's the result of me trying to take a screenshot in VR, without using the camera. https://i.imgur.com/aWEWlb3.jpg
You get two awkward square shots, the captured area is never quite what you expected, and it's easy to get wonky shots without realising.
azure wren
i see
ruby burrow
When I took that, I was leaning in between those gray wings, and could barely see them.
They were mainly in my peripheral vision, so I didn't realise how weird the shot would come out.
mighty galleon
moo
stable aurora
can you set a profile pic for vrchat 🤔 ?
fading owl
nope @stable aurora but it takes your avatar pic
so you could technically put a pic on every avatar u have
^^
stable aurora
Idk I see a person with an avatar and then when I block them they have a completely unrelated pic show up on the menu pop-eye
lunar willow
Sometimes when people change avatars, it takes a time until it changes the avatar's preview image, so you will only see the preview of the first one for a time
mighty galleon
chipp
you can do that easily
just get a plain box or something and put a picture on one side
put that in front of the camera
stable aurora
na idk how to make avatars :p
I just wondered if like you can set a profile pic for your vrc account or something similar
left berry
i can make some for you
stable aurora
🤷 not sure if there are even any I want
mighty galleon

i just thought to myself "man this guy looks smooth"

mighty galleon
how the hell am i smooth in any way xD
stable aurora
and i was like "is this the same guy" so I searched messages from me that included the word smooth and low and behold they were all directed at you

quick question for anyone who could help me out: I've tried watching the only YouTube video on it but am still struggling... how do you add an audio file to an animation so that the sound is triggered by the start of the animation? I want to add sound files to my animations for my custom avatars as well as to the events triggered by actions (pointing, etc.)
cold talon
Just enable the audio source component with an animation
woeful otter
how do I do that?
vocal shard
have you learnt about adding audio source?
you add an audio source to an object, be it an avatar, sub avatar, or an empty object, and make it inactive
then in animation, click add property, make it active
sign out
close your unity
then reopen again
radiant current
How long does it take until i can publish my own avatar? 😦
vocal shard
where is fpaul?
woeful otter
no I have not learned about that but i'll try my best now to figure it out I was confused by the YT video I watched
I'm pretty new to Unity

Becoming verified by the trust system is based on reaching a not time based trust score, which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.
You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner with your VRChat account, walking around, meeting people and also making some friends. Idling won't help.
According to many responses in this discord the typical time this takes seems to roughly be 20-40 hours but big exceptions are possible.
Make sure you are not using a steam account because those can not be verified and continue playing the game until you get a notification or e-mail.
radiant current
Ok, thanks

Why do you need to log out of unity

Also why is my Showroom not listed as an avatar world 🤔
gaunt pine
are they gonna fix avatar stealing anytime soon
i have to where a default to even join a public world now because of it

It's a hard thing to fix, but they could at least up the security on blueprint stealers
Wow the trust system sucks

polar bone
Might be slightly off topic, but I was able to trick someone into thinking I was an avatar stealer by switching into a hidden avatar that they were using, as it was my world
vocal shard
hey, is there anyway to make it so i can animate something longer than the 1 frame they normally give you
i know there is but i dont know how
polar bone
vocal shard
thought i was in that, my bad
umbral reef
Most people do not even know how to report and if so they cant muster the proof to get you banned so @polar bone no need to worry
polar bone
Nah, it's fine. I showed them that I was the owner of the world
median basalt
Just delete the avatar and reupload it under a different blueprint @gaunt pine
ruby burrow
Unfortunately they keep the avatar as long as they don't switch out of it.
ruby burrow
Not sure if rebooting the game will prevent them loading it again or not. Might or might not.
gaunt pine
I hope it does
ruby burrow
I should add a watermark to some of mine maybe. Even just a hidden one inside. If I ever see another, I'd like to know whether someone else made it, or whether it was stolen.
gaunt pine
What's the punishment for stealing watermarked avatars anyway?
ruby burrow
Stealing any kind of avatar is an offense regardless of watermark, far as I'm aware.
gaunt pine
That's it?
median basalt
Yes
gaunt pine
Wow
gaunt pine
That short period of time?
ruby burrow
Personally, someone stealing an avatar of mine to use themselves (until I delete & re-up it), wouldn't bother my too greatly. But if I ever saw it uploaded or distributed publicly, that would upset me.
ruby burrow
Well, I mean I wouldn't like it obviously, but it wouldn't feel too big a deal if it's just one person. I just wouldn't want to see randoms all around suddenly using it. That'd be the worst.
ruby burrow
Mine is bound to get made into an avatar by other people at some point, since it's an existing character rather than a custom thing. But the source it's from is relatively obscure, which makes it somewhat more unique.
I think I'll put a watermark inside just to be able to know if someone else made their own, or if someone ever secretly stole mine without me knowing.
There's not many cyclops around in the game yet, so it's probably a vulnerable target for thieves.
gaunt pine
When is the new update coming out I'm excited to see what changes
median basalt
There's already a beta and it's not much
Full body users finally get eye tracking, and networking performance has improved
Always excited for performance improvements though

Any box will be lagfree unless you suck at Unity
And any box will lag with enough people

i heard you need 8 hours and 20 friends but idk
vocal shard
i could be wrong. I think you just have to go on a couple of days in a row and stay active
you can be avatars without that\
this is for CUSTOM avatars
brisk tangle
but all of that are sucks

not all of them. theres alot of cool avatar worlds.
try asking in #avatars-2-general i bet they can recomend you a few

grim oak
i get that this game is free, but if it could not be a beta version of unity, then crashing wouldn't be a thing because the version vrchat uses single core rendering, for all of you programmers you should know what i'm talking about (cuz honestly all i know is it puts everything unity finds and puts it all onto your gpu to render) while newer versions of unity actually have multicore rendering which basically means it doesn't put everything onto the gpu (at once i believe)
tacit plank
Can you find documentation saying that newer unity versions have multi core rendering?
I've heard it as well, but couldn't actually find anything on it.
Oh, and it's not just GPU, a lot of things are handled by the CPU, because handling textures is more advanced mathematics than it is drawing
floral aspen
I don't get why you think 5.6.3p1 is a beta when it's like 2 or 3 versions old at this point
tacit plank
Yeah it's not a beta, it's just really shit
I could probably make something better with enough time
umbral reef
Thing is- So far i know the unity version currently isnt exactly the problem...
Its the tools they use that allow only for one core to be used with that unity version
But updating isnt just an weekends time of work
rough pulsar
@tacit plank Have a google for unity 2018's job system, their demo is pretty impressive.
tacit plank
job system?

It allows for easy implementation if i understood right.
MT is not generally impossible in other versions.
tacit plank
So job is a synonym for thread or worker I guess

Or terrain which supports having holes in it, or actually having build-in water
floral aspen
unity terrain though I heard is not great

yep as long as you dont change it
I just find it very jarring haha when i look at some tiny avatar and a deep voice comes out of it @rancid crater

@dire hatch to get a custom avatar you generally pay a person to make you the avatar and then they give you the file to upload from unity
dire hatch
oh ima just get one from worlds

What mic do you have set on the system page
Also remember to check your windows settings for that microphone as Windows updates love to reset the levels of Mics.
near venture
(check that its not muted)
rancid crater
@dire hatch thats not a mic
dire hatch
Which is mic
rancid crater
Press the arrow to the side of where it says "default mic" and make sure it says the mic you're using instead of "high def audio device"
Make sure your output is set to whichever headphones or speakers you're using

adding it to my prop that has a prefab particle so it would move with the prop
vocal shard
Yeah, you need a rigid body and fixed joint to make the particle react with the world.
vocal shard
should probably ask that in #avatars-2-general
You need to put a rigid body component on the bone that you want your particle system to follow
once you added that rigid body, you need to freeze all axis, remove gravity
Then you need to create an empty game object and place it where you want it to spawn, usually the wrist/hand
add a fixed joint component to the empty game object and connect it to the rigid body

Maybe I'm aggravating them and being a horrible and untrustful person by bailing out any information I've got on you for them to use it against you (for no reason even), but you don't know that because it's all happening in the DMs. How about that?

I've been having tracking issues within VRchat for a long time now. After some tests I've figured out that the tracking quickly goes when I visit a world with other people in it. Has anyone had experience of this before and how did they fix/bypass this? Thanks
Tracking loss I should add, not the things jumping around
rough pulsar
What HMD do you have? Vive, Rift, WMR, etc
calm jay
Most often cause of tracking loss ive noticed so far is due to a usb driver issue.
Either that or something wrong with the sensor.
Keep in mind that usb cables do have a length limit. If you have extension cables, you will inevitably have sensor faults.
You need a repeater cable.
wide tundra
I would test it with other games before figuring out that its a hardware problem
warped thistle
I have a Vive. I bought a USB pcie-card after a long time trying to fix stuff, and it solved some issues
So I think usb driver stuff is sorted. I believe it could now be a performance issue. Gtx 1070 and 6700k btw
warped thistle
It works with other games pretty well now. The very occasional drop out after a long session (could be due to a hot room when I have window/door closed
wide tundra
drop out as in the vive turns black?
gaunt pine
is the update today or tomorrow
warped thistle
Nope, the controllers stay turned on, but loosing tracking (flashing green)
wide tundra
hm
warped thistle
I've been trying out the gpu overlay beta thing today. Example - Never have I ever world, solo instance, 3-6 ms and all green
Join the same world in public with 10 or more people, it's slightly higher, then as soon as I look at a cluster of people it shoots up go like 13+ms and the spikes are going crazy on the graph
calm jay
Do you use any extension cables for the sensors
warped thistle
Nope
calm jay
K
rough pulsar
Vive doesn't have sensors that need extension cables
calm jay
So it sounds like a software issue.
warped thistle
The only thing that's different from the original boxed setup is my hdmi passes through the breakout box since I don't have the original cable
But I've heard other people don't have an issue with that
rough pulsar
As long as it's a decent HDMI cable from PC to linkbox it's no problem
warped thistle
No extra hdmi cable
The cable straight from the headset
I dont have the short hdmi cable from breakout to pc
calm jay
It seems like as the amount of data download/upload increases, the more issues you have with signal fidelity.
warped thistle
That would be a fair assessment I guess
rough pulsar
Do you experience tracking issues in any other VR software?
calm jay
It could also be... hmm... the router could be interfering with the signal? Do you use wifi?
Maybe try using a cable connection?
See if that plays a role.
warped thistle
It was working really well in every application I played today. Prior to that I do occasionally lose tracking after 40 mins or so in beat saber
rough pulsar
What loses tracking? Controller, both, the HMD, everything?
warped thistle
No wifi, I don't even have my PCI wifi card in my computer anymore
It's always the controllers
Though today, after the controllers had gone after a little while the Base stations turned grey, but I guess the power management setting had reset itself
calm jay
Also, there is the possibility that as you play physically exerting games, your own body's infrared radiation could be interfering with the sensors reading the IR LED's
rough pulsar
Highly unlikely
calm jay
Yes.
warped thistle
I mean come on, if that were the case, don't you think other people would be complaining about the same thing?
calm jay
Occhams razor.
rough pulsar
And tracking would begin to fail under even slight amounts of sunlight
warped thistle
The loss of tracking is definitely 100% reproducible by going into a world with people
calm jay
Weve already eliminated a lot of ideas so far.
Okay @adam
So then it has to be something related to the software.
warped thistle
Okay, but why is it specifically struggling with vrchat?
wide tundra
I only have the problem with the Rift that I getting occasional lag and sometimes twitching of avatar and view. wasn't so bad with the vive
warped thistle
Is it just the most demanding app I've played so far? 😂
rough pulsar
@warped thistle Have you tried resetting the controllers?
While pressing the menu button, trigger, grip and trackpad click, plug the controller into your PC via one of the Micro-USB cables.
Wait 5 seconds
Let go of all buttons
Unplug
warped thistle
Never thought I'd say that
shy nest
well considering the player content is generally unoptimized trash so yeah. makes sense it would be demanding
warped thistle
No I have not tried that because I don't think anyone's explained it properly to me before. Is this similar to anything found in the steamvr program? If not, then I've never done it before
rough pulsar
It's somewhere in the vive user manual/troubleshooting
warped thistle
@shy nest fair point, however
rough pulsar
Also hey now, I'm optimized trash
warped thistle
You don't see many people having vr performance issues making it unplayable do you
Plenty of people have 1060's too as they are better for VR for some reason
ruby needle
GPU's are less of an issue currently the CPU's
warped thistle
Well I will have a go at resetting them tomorrow, see if that changes anything
vocal shard
I have gtx 1060
warped thistle
I was initially more concerned about it being my CPU
But now I really don't know ha
wide tundra
I think VRChat is more CPU than GPU heavy
vocal shard
And there's no problem whatsoever
warped thistle
Not the hardware itsefl
But something is perhaps holding one of them back software wise
vocal shard
When using oculus rift
shy nest
pretty sure vrchat doesn't multithread or something, might be mixing up my terms
rough pulsar
@warped thistle have you also tried re-pairing your controllers?
vrchat doesn't have any significant multithreading. It has some, but the vast majority of stuff is done on one thread.
yay unity 🤢
shy nest
thats because of 5.6.3p1 right?
rough pulsar
Yeah, later versions have better support for parallelisation.
plain swan
how long does one need to interact with peeps to upload stuff? 🤔 ( This question has been probaly asked 20 thousand times or more I Know. )
rough pulsar
There's a demo of unity 2018 doing some kind of RTS-type thing with an entire army and it's pretty cool.
shy nest
it probably has legit been asked 20 thousand times at this point
rough pulsar
How long's a piece of string? @plain swan It's not time based, but how your 'trust score' is calculated. Which is voodoo.
Just have fun with people and make friends and you'll get verified soon enough.
shy nest
just play/do/interact enough and you'll get an in-game notification telling you, you can upload and shit @plain swan
rough pulsar
@warped thistle Try a reset and failing that… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
warped thistle
Yup, that's what I'm expecting to happen
But I gotta try nonetheless
Playing with other people in vr is a huge appeal, and to not be able to do that just sucks lol. I'll find a fix one day
rough pulsar
Oh, also have the controllers had any hard whacks? Sometimes a mash into a wall can lightly loosen some of the internal cables and cause tracking problems.
warped thistle
Hmm, maybe a few
shy nest
I feel like (even though there is a post in announcements about the trust system) there should be something about it in #faq
warped thistle
Wouldn't you expect that to affect other games though
rough pulsar
Yeah, hmm.
warped thistle
Well, if you hear anything similar from anyone else, do let me know. I'd be interested to hear what their solution/issues are
rough pulsar
Yeah, I will do. Also have you tried searching /r/vive on reddit?
warped thistle
I made a post on there about a month ago
Sort of what led up to a desperation buy of a pcie usb card :)
I didn't come across a similar situation, but I didn't search super hard
shy nest
you ever think of returning it or sending it in for fixing?
warped thistle
Nope. I know it worked fine on my mates PC in my setup. Didn't test vrchat with other people, but several hours of games with no issues from the very beginning. Also, it's a 2nd hand purchase. Tested it before I bought it and it was fine, soon as I set it up, issues
So, I'm fairly confident the Vive hardware is in good enough condition
Yeah, it's complicated :/ All the more annoying that my case seems to be very unique
wide tundra
how do I access/manage blueprints on the vrchat website?
it says
-
After signing in, click on your username at the top right and select "Home"
-
On the Left, hover over "Blueprints" and select "Avatars" and you will see all the uploaded avatars you have under your account
but I can't see it

It doesn’t allow me? Saying I need to spend more time in game or somefin
mighty galleon
it just will let you after you're active for a bit
hushed loom
Weird..
mighty galleon
nah
its to stop people from just making accounts uploading an avatar immediatly just to annoy others
mighty galleon
yeah
more incentive to not be an ass and get ban
b/c it can range from people being able to upoad after 10 hours but some people play for over 100 hours and still cant upload

So allow me to ask
Is it a common problem for other people where like... You enter a world, and the screen just stays black, and eventually, it just boots you to another world?
split jacinth
Ive never had that happen to me
mighty galleon
i think thats b/c the world was full so it doesnt load right
swift sphinx
Hm
split jacinth
I have othr problmes with VRChat tho
problems*
Could anyone tell me how to like switch servers not worlds because i always get into russian servers my vrchat is like russian but i dont live in russia
@placid umbra
split jacinth
But i always get logged into russian servers
split jacinth
Huh ok
mighty galleon
you're just having bad luck if all the worlds you go to is just russian people talking
mighty galleon
its 3:10am for me right now
split jacinth
Oh sorry
mighty galleon
how much you typin gallium
rough pulsar
@split jacinth The way VRChat is structured is kinda like this:
Servers: There's a few of these, they do things like hold the world/avatar data, manage the records of who is where, who's friends with who and so on, logins, etc
Worlds: These are each base area. Places like The Great Pug, The Hub, and so on.
Instances: There can be multiple instances of each World. These get made and removed as needed, such as when you make a invite+ instance, or removed when the last person has left the instance.
You're probably winding up in instances with a lot of russians because of timezones. I don't know when they tend to be most active on vrchat though.
mighty galleon
i think he was thinking of servers as "this server is only for russians, this only for japanese etc etc"
kinda like huge mmo's that have servers for different parts of the world
rough pulsar
I just noticed they mentioned servers in the proper way
I've just woke up
vocal shard
from what i saw, russian are connected between 1 to 5 PM CEST
mighty galleon
oh -pats gallium- mornin
vocal shard
so if you want to avoid them, don't play at those times
or only play with friends in your own instances
rough pulsar
I just also see people use the word 'server' in the completely wrong way thanks to discord's use of the word for each 'channel group'
mighty galleon
i find it interestnig to listn to people talk in other languages b/c i can sit there and be like "i dont understand a single thing but it sounds interesting:
split jacinth
@rough pulsar Oh ok thanks
plucky heath
I still cant add my own avatars :((
plucky heath
I have been since 3 am yesterday lol
cunning anchor
Ah so you gotta wait a bit.
The staff check daily to enable people to upload.
I had to wait 2 to 3 days until Unity allowed me.
plucky heath
Oh, okay.
cunning anchor
Figured out to convert chars and make a easy peasy world.
Waiting for my avatar world to be public now 😉
plucky heath
What would you say your coolest custom avatar is haha
rough pulsar
It's an automated system. Just being active as you normally would in vrchat will work.
plucky heath
https://gyazo.com/c17442cdf75112cdf9c5e8123f29b97d This is what I'm waiting to upload
rough pulsar
S3 for storage, their own servers for other stuff.
cunning anchor
Not bad.
Use it myself also for backups of my servers.
But it can be expansive, so using their cheap ass storage solution to move it over eventually.
Then it gets really cheap.
@plucky heath https://imgur.com/a/pu0uuAD
That's my favorite custom one I made.
plucky heath
Oh, nice
cunning anchor
Still need to buy a oculus.
But just got my new job starting september again.
And I noticed they released the VRgluv
So you can use all your fingers like a glove.
Damn thing only costs 300$ though hahaha
(sorry I type too much when I'm a bit happy)
vocal shard
you still won't be able to use all your finger indepently in vrchat tho
rough pulsar
But assuming they can work with SteamVR's upcoming skeletal input system getting them to work with vrchat (or anything for that matter) should be easier than having to directly support that specific device.
Of course, there's still the issue of how do you move beyond your playspace? It's easy with controllers as there's components that easily allow virtual movement.
Not so much with gloves.

Is there an anti crash script other than the particle limiter script?

Nope

OI dont mention that site
cunning pebble
?
umbral reef
Just look in #particle-limiter-share-settings
And never use that website you just listed again
umbral reef
It's an shitty website and should never be used
They promote illegal things that can get you banned
Have no care for vrc or helping users really even though they claim to do and the staff is well... Far from great
cunning pebble
Illegal things being like avatars right?
umbral reef
From avatars that break TOS to modified clients to illegal unity assets
cunning pebble
I see, and what's TOS, lol..
umbral reef
Terms of service
The (legal) rules of the product
cunning pebble
Oh pfff
umbral reef
Also shit that can get you banned Soo...
cunning pebble
Well where can I get some preset avatars from?
umbral reef
From devaint art to just using Google
I'm bad with the other website names
Maybe someone else will recall and mention them to you
But that's where the peeps who upload there stuff there get them from
polar elm
Most anime stuff is deviant art
cunning pebble
I just need a fully rigged avatar source and a place where I can get models/accessories
umbral reef
Rigged avatars are mmd stuff
You can use cats plugin within blender to fix problems
It's legit the option of doing 4 minutes extra work and getting a higher end more optimized avatar or using an shit website with a risk of being banned if your really unlucky
cunning anchor
Just grab MMD models from deviantart, or if need, ask permission, and start converting them 😃
That's how I got the hang slowly on it.
umbral reef
But all dope avatars you see and the peeps who make those cool things all went for the first option
Asked for help and learned to make cool things
cunning anchor
It's only getting frustrated when you need to decimate stuff.
cunning pebble
and I would use blender to rig models right
cunning anchor
Blender + CATS plugin.
umbral reef
@cunning anchor what is retarded anyway as poly's do not effect performance really
cunning pebble
Ah alright, thanks guys
cunning anchor
@umbral reef I know, but the SDK has a limitation set to it.
cunning anchor
hehe
inner cape
cunning anchor
What I did notice, is that "technically" you can go up to 60000 polygons.
Everything higher will create parts.
Which doesn't work in Unity.
inner cape
65200 or so is the magic number
cunning anchor
Although it does.
Just that visemes get fucked
and such.
Just had one model that had like 200k polygons..
That is really frustrating xD
