Thanks for the exaggeration mate
Yeth
👍
But real talk, you cannot interact
you see, they say that
Same thing as if you update and your friends were already online
You won't see those friends in the same world, even if it says
Well I gave it a try, and it didn't worked. But a friend of mine says, that someone else tried it, and it "works"
but one of my friends was in the beta, im not, and we could still interact with each other 
^ That's exactly what he told me
i could tell they were because they had the updated name tags on their side
i was wondering when the kitchen in the great pug is gonna be open
so once again, shit dont work as intended lmao
yh ano
Well in #announcements it says, but you can try if you'd like
It's only a 70mb difference anywho
Can anyone help me to publish my custom character?
Me obibo
I really think the next update will ruin many things, if not entire vrchat, if u put users into different classes of "worthy".
XD
Lmao
People already do that tho
yes
I was thinking about it as well
Custom model, vr, full body, desktops, etc.
Good thing Im a "known user" hah
It is ready in Unity, but when I hit the publish button, it gives me a screen saying I cannot
but irl, u cannot block a street performer dancing, u have to see these dancers, you can walk by them, as they were therte before you.
There are no errors
Shows who in the lobby to go to if they have questions
Punch the street performer
so next update is big strike agains content creators.
Obito irl you can't crash people out of this world by particles either
That's just frowned upon
Or maybe in the near future you can
The amount of crashers in vrchat is barely 2% of the players
ARchat when
Gunpowder is 🅱refabs, brb making particles
I mean, i can understand everything, shiny armor, might be a bad guy. Totally, but getting blocked on sight already hurts enough
I agree with that at least
cant make my own stuff
prefab are my only power
you guessed it
im a vrchat crasher 
The hero we deserve
but what im saying is u only need to fix crashes, and there definetely is a different way than restricting everyone. I mean sure, VIP rank would be a nice thing tho, even tho that would be a only streamer thingy
That might be possible, but generally it would mean putting restrictions on a different set of things, and eventually even taking away the freedom of development
Like there are some general ways people have figured out, like limiting particles etc
im not critizing in a bad way, i only see the upcoming update as heavily problematic
Ye I see where you're getting at
What's up my fellow legends?
I still fail to see how more filter options in the new update is a bad thing
Kidding, we're all equal as humans, it's very funny to write though
i want a disable dynamic bones option and im fine
Unless the argument is for the fact that the all or nothing approach has most people gearing towards leaving everyone unblocked if they actually want to meet anybody and see their avatars
Give me a disable cloth physics pls
To be fair- The system is fairly dope but its an steep curve for new people to get into making avatars and animations...
And its also an tad random/unfair towards current users
i dont see a reason into creating avatars anymore
That's a momoko avatar!
How so? Doesn't the current system have a probation system for content uploads anyway?
to get harsh, this game is flooded with normies that can't take a single particle or annoying streamers that ruin your day
I create content all the time. Effects, shaders, avatars, all of that
Never had an issue with people being upset at anything
@jovial oriole The diffrent from being to upload and not upload already makes some users who come for the creative part angry
Right time and right place
Not to mention, closed groups and streamers tend to block/mute their friends in a joking manner. I don't think there's any way to seperate a fake block from a real one.
When the base settings are "Only Polygons" its even more unfun for them
If you can't wait 20-30 hours to upload your avatars, you're an impatient human being
But this is like having laws in the real world right? Some are good for people and bad for others, and there are loopholes, but that's why you have judges who look at the individual circumstances of each case.
I don't think a probation period is a bad thing, but we need to balance how long this is for so it isn't open to abuse and doesn't hurt content creators
@tacit plank What if i need 30 more hours to show off (with the base settings as im fairly sure we can assume most users will use those) not use particles then? (or even custom animation, unsure when you unlock uploading and custom animations)
And content creators also need to make some accommodations too, after all, should you really be putting all that time into creating content for a game world you won't even invest a good amount of time in exploring?
Think of it like this. Those longer time frames are to get to know people, to see what people do. What they like or don't lime
@jovial oriole can you put people into different classes and judge and restrict them in a disrespectful manner irl? No, you cant?
Like eve
There will be ups and downs for the system, I highly doubt the team will leave it in an unusable state, so letting what happens happen is fine with me, but it does seem a tad strict from a glance.
You can, its called ostracization @sweet meadow
That's fine I think
And if you like this update because you are epileptic for example and be safer now, you should remember that you shouldn't play this game at all
Most people reach 30 hours before they know what animations even are
The laws of physics don't prevent people from being ostracized, and neither does this system, its the people who are responsible for that.
What about someone like Pan? That fella makes insane content for VRC and isnt maxed rank :lul:
He has fairly sure shown with his worlds being popular and all and his friends list that he isnt anything bad
it is only about the streamers that didn't even influence that much
Oh noooo. I wanted to play VRChat on Halloween but i am not in town
D:
Oh and hi everyone
hi
If you want to make avatars from day 1, you probably already knew about VRChat and just spend too much time on your steam account
i saw the animation videos
Its not like its clear what you can and cant do with an steam account when you start out
that is why i joined
I'm pretty sure I was able to make an account and upload content in a relatively short amount of time
maybe less than a week, and less than three days worth of playtime
I say days but really I mean like 8 hours
Could add something like a message saying "Hi - We've noticed that you're currently playing on a Steam account. You are free to do so, but you can gain access to extra features such as custom avatar and world uploads if you create and log into a VRChat account"
They could and it would have fixed a lot of problems that are a thing now and where a thing in the past (like, from the second the trust system was a thing)
But right now or in the beta AFAIK its not an thing
So speaking of content creation is anyone making Halloween avatars? I'll be disappointed if I don't see people with candy baskets.
I hate to change the topic abruptly, but I've found that players with the beta can still talk with me/see me despite what's been going around. Is that generally what happens or do normal users sometimes not show up?

Beta users can only see beta users
Live client users can only see live client users
Are you saying its different/bugged
Like that an beta user is talking to an live build one?
They might be taking about those they try to use the beta client in live mode....
who wants to play some vr wiff me uwu
Which is broken and not recommended
o.o
by the way, i can't see the problem with the next update, like, the entire filter is completely customizable, so if you want you can set it to show everything on everyone
+you can enable features on a per user basis
if you really want
yes
Most people are fine with that, and want that
the disabling and complete ceasing of other ppl's art, which made this game big
it doesnt deserve a place and tolerance here
It's publicly displaying ranks that got most people upset
+that
@granite coral I think most people have more of an problem with there current 'rights' being reversed without any clear reason as to why X person gets a high rank while Y doesnt.
And that the start up curve for new users becomes even larger
And well as jamie said- That thing is what bugges me the most
^
agree on that, is a bit rude, but doesn't affect me too much, may be just a personal opinion
also i guess like 3 tiers + friends level would be more than enough of a separation
I think VRChat is a platform for socialising and personal expression, and watching streamers is what brought me to this community, I think the art enhances that, but is not integral to it
and there is such a thing as bad art
i mean the color thing, i still hate the default for greenies 😩
The public display ranks thing is something I can at least understand
If you /just/ wanted an social platform with fun people-
Well you are on one right now, its imo far from the reason why VRC is popular
VRC's main appeal compared to all other social playforms or even other social VR games is its being able to upload things
Make an personality within the game that is YOU
People don't want to be excluded because of an arbitrary rank
but for the whole feature blocking thing, it's an option, one more instrument for the end user, so i don't understand some people hating that part of the update
@umbral reef Someone using the beta client complimented me on my avatar, so I'm not sure how it works
I wouldn't say its the main appeal
But I do think that everyone has different draws to the game
I've installed the beta client and intent to mess around with it, so I'll see how it works soon
I don't think VRChat's entire community is built on any one thing, we all got our reasons to be here
@granite coral Well read what i wrote earlier...
Peeps are being set back from what they now can. Have no idea why or what someone are not being set back...
Also new users are getting an even more steep curve to get into VRC's special reason to play
well, if you were excluded because of your rank, then you wouldn't like to hang around these kind of people
so in the end it doesn't matter
you're not set back on anything
I think that's a little bit over generalized @thick flare
It's a social game, and there are as many social situations as there are people.
i mean, if someone excluded me from their social circle because i am a greenie
So my animations are not being scuffed towards most users within the game ...?
Because the default settings is what i think most users will use- Or they will set them up illogically..
Hell- The VRC community is fairly uneducated when it comes to avatars...
Okay so im willing to make a map for this contest but im really wanting to push the gore and aggression factor on my map. I read the community guidelines and it said nothing on the sort, but im checking in with you guys to make sure. <@&397642795457970181> Is heavy amounts of blood and guts allowed for this?
i wouldn't want to hang around with them
if someone can't see your shader, is cause they decided to block that, not cause the game decided so. i would agree if the limitations were a fixed thing, but since they're not is not a problem
They think 10K polygons is better then 20K and that stuff
Here's the thing about the public displays.... Say someone has been a part of the community for almost a year... Within the forums, chatting helping people with unity.... But doesn't play much because they spend almost every waking moment refreshing pages to help people on various chat sites helping them with the game and unity.... But they don't get much time actually in the game.
They dedicated all this time to helping others, and now when the log in, they are seen as just a basic user who probably can't even be trusted. And the default safety settings block their stuff
Now you have e a streamer who doesn't know anything about he game, or care about helping anyone. But they get a trusted role because they're popular. . Doesn't seem fair
i know you are referring to yourself Jamie
@vocal shard Lmao its been a thing where people with 1K hours playtime are just basic users
had been seeing you helping out a lot on steam forum
@small wing we're not really the people to ask 🤷
Question... Why do I get notified whenever admins, Team Members or Senior chat mods get tagged***???***
And meanwhile there are also a fair bit with less hours but even juts buddies with users that got the second highest rank or the highest
We're not employees, so we don't really know.
Dang
Probably better to make use of the email
There was already an increase in a social standing when streamers started playing.. I feel like the ranking system is a fun idea, but the execution needs to be extremely well done.
Gore is probably fine, avoid the R18 stuff
Yeah, try emailing support about it.
@kind wedge https://i.imgur.com/Qf0Xryx.png
I guess i will play it safe then and instead go the "down the rabbit hole" route.
Anbd well same mention to the dude asking whats allowed and not
really wanna make people leave this map outta fear alone though
Yeah, we're not really the ones to ask, but a good rule of thumb is to keep it PG-13
Reminder that more blood does not make something more scary :P
Whoever asked about gore, probably keep it to blood
Best bet would be not to overdo it, Pill did mention that one should avoid stuff in the area of "Hostel" or "Saw"
Screw that. ... we need Evil Dead levels of blood
Human bloodsacks*?*
Uh, yes, can I get a room flooded with blood? Happy snorkeling.
the question is: can i throw arms to people or not? lul
omg lol
:v) so tru
Just watch Dexter S1 Bunny
Lol
that's robo recall then, not horror
Pink blood
So... Oil being spewed everywhere*?*
did you jmentioned green?
Awe, come on, we're just having fun.
@river star NO
It's healthy and eco-friendly 🙃
Exactly
Where is a world dedicated to
Bruce Campbell?
Cost efficient
Plus*!* It can be used as better fertilizer when filtrated by the body 🙃 ¡
Exactly, plus green food coloring is way easier to get than red
Back on topic, though.. Who else is working on a Halloween avatar atm?
i want to
May include green blood
but i can't think of anything else other than anime avatar
Horror doesn't need to involve blood or gore or any of that
so i probably won't join
I can't even play because I don't have a 64bit PC 😭
@quiet prawn So true, but it can :^)
;/
@vocal shard Easy fix, use your Nintendo 64
Nintendo 64 Classic when :(
Nintendo Online SNES when lol
@quiet prawn you are thinking about horror that mostly involves sounds and a love craftian tinge to it
Abobo's big adventure 2 (16-bit era) when*?*
Are we allowed to link videos here?
yes, if ruubick is not awake
If it's a VRChat video, to #vrchat-videos you go.
@cold void I've never had a Nintendo 64 to begin with 😭
Oh shoot :' ) me neither tbh
I'll just DM it
But really though, first time having to need a 64bit processor for anything 🤔
32bit to 16bit usually did the job fine for many things...
Last Windows version to be fully 16-bit was Windows 3.1, between 1992-1993. lol
I really wanted to walk around in Raven Vr's Hidden Leaf Village, but I'll have to wait (2-3 years) until I can afford a 64bit processor
@vocal shard I used Windows XP up to 1 year and a half ago, ok*?*
Nope, not quite
how old is your pc then
Still though, I think I'll use this need as a reason to push myself foward
as 64bit cpu's are the norm since 2014
even before 64bit was normal
probably your windows is the 32 bit version
If you want to go cheaper than Intel, there's always the Ryzen and even the AMD FX series that supports X86-64 instruction set.
@grand thistle had like three used PC's one from 2002 and one from 2004 which both started withering with time and stopped working, and used a 2006 used pc since 2008 up until 2017 even after when Windows XP's were not supported anymore, it works but I haven't used it in a while because I can't use a mouse, a keyboard and a WiFi router at the same time, only ethernet, keyboard and mouse...
XP extended support dropped in 2014 tho 🤔
you can get a cheap pc that has an older i5 like the 4000 series for cheap
and just put a good gpu in it and then it's good enough for most things
And my brother occupies the ethernet of our internet and he has a Windows 7 pc, so... It's like being handicaped while using the windows 7 pc
just depends on were you live but it's under 600usd you can have it or less depends on the deal you find
you could event get a pc for 400 usd that can play vr if you get a good used pc
but that is realy hunting for it
My brothers PC has all the necessary tools to run vrchat, except for a 64bit processor
i know of a youtuber who has a bought a ton of mined gpu's and it isn't a problem as they all work
most of them is they are dead are under warranty so you can get a free new one
everything branded as "Core" from intel was 64-bit capable
Some guy just played a shitty song about someone playing vrchat and getting gpu crashed
And played it before crashing everyone
wow that is not nice
!outputlog
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt
so i guess if you heard something about crashing leave immediatly
Yeah, it's like the remaining crashers are just the worst type.
@tacit plank please don't tell me you restarted vrchat before getting the outputlog
I have it still
@safe prism try 2003
The song sounded like "hurt my gpu"
in the past people tought it could destroy hardware wich has been proven wrong
2003 sounds better
But really though, it's weird when whenever the discord senior chat mod, team member or Admin gets pinned I get notified.
Also I have error 1008 whenever trying to access the vrchat site through my tablet (O_0)...
I ripped the song out of the cache (I know I'm not supposed to, but I needed to confirm)
i rember the crash guns people had with particles it couldn't crash some gpu's
My game crashed, my GPU is fine
Now I'm wondering... how do they target ONE person in particular ? Like... some people can crash just one person in a room it seems.
distance shader
or not completly the crash particels i had them fired on me one time my game wasn't responding on my old pc but it responded back after later used a gtx 750
Strange. I still got crashed even with the particle limiter on.
it was they tought i had crashed the person who fired it at me but i didn't
because there are more than one type of crash
What a mess...
that was back when crashing started now it has just gone too far
particle limiter only stops particle crashing
At least the new trust system might prevent lots of other types of crashes.
the new system in the beta is made so it stops people from crashing but some people will still crash
Crashers will evolve as much as there will be anti-crash methods
crasher then will try to get access to other people's accounts and hack them and crash on their accs till they lose access to the account or the account is banned
that is what is probably gonne happen
Although lets be honest one or two dedicated people will figure it out first and then a bunch of script kiddies will employ the same exploits
but most of the crashing is gonna stop
back in the past i found a mayor security flaw that has been fixed now
Username was "RHYUGA" if enough people block him, he will likely be labeled troll
So... The moderation will probably be dealing with Crashers like curefinders deal with illnesses...
but if a flaw like that comes back i'm gonna quit completly
Avatar was a ferret with a fishing pole
Although... the accounts are hosted on Amazon servers right ? If so, good luck hacking that.
getting into servers is easier then some people think but it depends if you know how networking works
but never get into servers illegaly
Probably true for other servers than amazon
Amazon is not going to allow people to hack their servers with no repurcussions
just depends how far in the amazon servers it's save as there are networks that aren't on the internet but can be accessed if you can get access to the main server of amazon
If passwords are salted and encrypted properly, it shouldn't be a problem either way
but they should have good protection but not impossible that is always the case
"Today, I gonna hack Google !" said little 10 years old Jimmy. 😆
I guess its a question of do you really feel like hacking a corporate conglomerate just to get back at John Smith
Its also posible to become an real magic human being and know everything (so all passwords)
Still does not mean its an realistic thing
most likely people don't get in but people can get into everything pretty much
Any network can be hacked potentially
I remember a case in another game where someone got access to an admin account without knowing the pass.
i could get access to a lot of people's pc but i don't i don't want to do illegal things
They did some shit with php
i just use the knowleg to protect systems of people who don't know anything
Drag your honestly just sound like an script kiddy...
^
Attempts to brute-force all 59,873,693,923,837,895,000 password possibilities of a 10 characters password that uses letters (including caps), numbers and special characters.
Wow, he really does.
I think indiscriminately hacking people would get you the wrong kind of attention too.
Eyo sean
i'm just a network manager in study but i have played with some tools
Brute force no bueno
Still does not change anything... Your using vague as fuck things and as i stated before... anything can be hacked but its about how realistic it is.
Getting aces to server/pc's themself often isnt to hard with companies but once you go to an big enough (or small enough) scale its not a thing that works
But I think its besides the point really that a hacker should actually go through all that effort to hack someone, when social hacking is also another tool in their toolset
they can always use words to get what they want
Social engineering hit us hard at home depot btw
The weakest security point is and will always be the human factor.
always the human holding the door open
@lethal meteor What do they do to Home Depot ? 😮
Got access to a shit ton of accounts with personal info
Oh.
Like credit cards, etc
Getting nostalgia about phising cons now
ncix account's also got leaked
"yeah just login with your account like normal"
The only Scary about VRChat's Halloween are the Jumpscare like crashes
XD
Advanced crashes ._.
the reason ncix accounts got leaked was they paid their depts with the servers with all the data on on
You never know what else it takes down
its like a Horror Movie
One Program after another
Who's ncix?
First VRChat itself, then Steam, then maybe Windows?
Ah
they're bankrupt by now tho 
i'm not from canda but have heard that from techlinked that all the data for sale
Telltale got bankrupt as well :<
like gamestation and maplins rip
gamestation got bought out by game, but technically they are under administration too
also toys r us
Toys r us rip
Toys R Us still exist in Canada 😄
Are they still alive in canada?
yup
let's hope they wiped their drives when giving their servers to the persons claiming the dept
not like what ncix did
The guy who crashed me has a steam account.
Which has his name in it
they
Let's finish twd in vrchat
i'm not native English so it's hard
Telltale wont remember that
Lol
It's some edgy furry lol
Lets crash move in #general-media I guess ?
never liked telltale, its art choice was ugly as hell
It's stylized
ugl
Not bad
Failed comic book look*?*
the look is just horrendous to me
it was fine for borderlands, because that's what borderlands looked like already lol
Inb4 mods redirect us to #general-media any second o3o
i only heard over telltale the company when they made minecraft story mode
@vocal shard hey, I said #general-media first, so dibs
Random-chat (tm), presented by @vocal shard
in random chat
Hey there
Avatar help question incoming...
Hey
Does anyone know if VRChat will ever have two-factor authentication?
But strongly recommended if you're a streamer
i wouldn't do the industry standard ones like that, i'd go for steam style or hardware 2fa
or for anyone in 2018 really
because typing shit in vr in under 30 seconds is a joke
well, theres features where you only have to do it once and your computer gets "trusted"
Just make an app for the phone that ask you if you want to authorize the logging in.
but what if you don't want to trust it
Press one button, done.
the problem is that passwords arent as safe as they used to be
Oh really?
no one's gonna argue that
and with ranks now people will probably want higher tiered accounts
so you get the gist of what might happen
Try decrypting an sha-256 string
Or whatever modern encryption algorithm that's being used
i'm into magic links too 
I guess i'm just being paranoid XD
hewwo
does anyone know if there is a boxing ring / world or if you could do any of that stuff in vr chat?
If you cannot find one it is possible to upload a map.
If you ever want to look into who crashed you by browsing avatar files - don't
You will find unspeakable horrors like 43mb animation files
that doesn't sound too bad
😣
It's an animation at the size of a vrchat world, it is horrible
It also has 50+ meshes and 50+ materials
I feel robbed off of bandwidth
50+ Materials, that's a big oof for me
┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ) There you go
XD
If you hear something which sounds like "don't hurt my bpu", block that guy because your game has about 10 seconds left to live otherwise
I wonder if it would crash if one would activate the panic mode ?
That would make you safe from anything but malicious network packets
wait can vrchat mess up your computer?
Shouldn't
not really can't really damage hardware
especially if your motherboard has safety features, which most have by default
Messed mine up a bit once, but I think that was a bug rather than a crasher, because it only happened to me, and when I was using a macro which was too fast and caused a bufferoverflow
Dust has messed up my laptops more then any crash so far 
If I use the macro in a text editor, it will start writing random words... Anyways, I used my macro some time and my computer crashed
dust and water
I restarted and my vrchat was still installed, but not visible in Steam. My output log was like 1000s of "null" characters
To be fair- Once my old laptop is like not just an old heater with music player
Like if one of the two dies
damn they should really have more safety precautions for game crashers.. Like how vrchat SDK can be modded to have more space or whatever.
I plan to repair it in a meme as fuck way just for an video
Where i properly repair it but also hose it down with water and stuff 
But usually, people can only tell you to render too much of something, which will freeze your game
@maiden hound Lots of the stuff is just unity being unity but the next update fixes a lot of stuff
oh thats great, my computers overheated a lot and i've been ear-raped yesterday at 2am. scared the crap out of me
But yeah, is the update going to stop people from modding the SDK would you think?
They can mod it all they want, the in-game filter will stop it
Btw I recommend having your sounds on 20% of less as default
how do game crashers get passed the filter then?
They don't
hm?
Its not yet implemented yet- Its an BETA thing so far
double yet
I maybe should sleep 
😂 heh, well I hope the spend a bit more focus on the game crashers. But I dont develop any games, so I don't know if its even possible right now 😂
Some of the fixes are easy, some are almost impossible
yeah, they could find ways around it, like vrchat mods reviewing the animations, or you could even just remove animations with particles and stuff... Only dances i guess?
Just enforce limits better, like deny audio files with "+20Db" gain
like so only the avatar moves, nothing adds on
Reviewing avatars manually is unrealistic to do
Setting up logical limits gets people a lot further
yeah but there are many ways to prevent things
And well- the beta system helps alot with trolls and not just bad optimized stuff
Manually? Sure. Automatically? Not too hard for basic limits
The beta system should work though, yeah, until trolls find out how the tags are granted
I'm fairly sure I could get an account to the highest rank in a day or two
I'm not experienced with 3d animations, but they use frames, right?
Dance animations are fine, spawning 100 meshes is not fine though
Well I guess that could be legit too
Getting one account to an high enough level to troll to just get banned within a day again...
Almost all trolls are to lazy for that
What if animations just dont spawn meshes in general? Only the avatar
thats the good life
then animations could play loud music, or edit current meshes, etc. It's hard to automate a perfect system
But honestly, the beta should get most of it
At least, crashing will go down, and mods will have more time to investigate the current ones
True. Just sucks when playing vrc with the fear of crashing anytime. Especially when you don't really have people to play with. Then you go to a server with others you dont know and have the fear of a game crasher.
"I'm fairly sure I could get an account to the highest rank in a day or two" Yeah like the people with hundreds to a thousand hours, hundreds of friends, avatars, worlds and they don't even have Trusted
^
😂
hey @hybrid cloak you've been typing for like.. 15 minutes now, u writing an essay?
DOWN WITH FPAUL!

He about to upload an assignment on us all
ikr
Oh wtf FPaul*?*
hmm? 
i just cleaned the backlog
as it makes no sense without the original messages
nothign to worry about

Lol
😂
So are we taking down Fpaul to bed?
And they are still typing
@vocal shard I don't know if this is the appropriate place to get your attention but the requirements for the Halloween Competition of an "Original Idea" isnt really in my opinion fair due to the fact that Me and Many other Creators have spent countless days and countless weeks working on a world which In My opinion is "Original". The Definition of Original- "created directly and personally by a particular artist; not a copy or imitation." To me there is no such thing as an "Original" idea primarily because in one way or another someone has made somthing that has the mechanics of what has been done before. In addition, if you want to talk about originality, what one of my favorite youtuber's GameTheory, did was make a video discussing about Fan Games and how they are Original Idea's, yet if you are under the impression that Fan Game's are a copy of the original then that means, VrChat is a complete copyrighted mess on its own. 90% of Vrchat is avatar's and worlds that in one way or another have similar mechanic's or similar idea's. Then at the same time you have people who have made actual original worlds LIke Half the Horror Map's out there. But this brings me to the point im trying to make. A Friend of mine has worked so hard on his map. This map has an original Storyline, Original Cast, Original Voicelines, and an Original Map Design. Yet now you say that that the idea must be original. If I said who the creator is and what the map is as well, a huge group of people would support me on my claim that this persons map should be allowed to be submitted to this contest. Thank you for your time and patience.
BIG LOL
I KNEW IT
O.o
in b4 deleted
Oof @
Oh crap it was big
no accounting for taste
Yikes that message took my whole phone screen
no one else on the "down with fpaul" train?
No
Not really 😂
I'm guessing it's complaining their world isn't eligible for the contest because the contest requires original assets, right?
i stopped a few lines in
Shorten it to 20 words or less
damn
i didn't actually read the contest rules, but I'm just guessing
Fpaul is a good guy 
they're talking about its not original enough?
Read the rules
How would one check that all assets are original, if that is the rules
If I see FPaul being an Occularist again sure @mighty galleon
I don't think anything has been original in recorded history really
they don't need to be original, but you need to have permission to use them
@vocal shard what 
haydn
@vocal shard thanks 
my avatars are original
sean
how do you know that to be fact @tidal aspen
so just stuff like uncopyrighted models and such
So I take it using assets/map from a horror game or something similar would not be allowed in the rules
Since i belive that the idea of the contest is to support and motivate to create original content it is definitely fair.
No one forces you to do something for it 
" the entrant must have all rights necessary to submit the Entry."
I'm guessing it requires original assets and whatnot?
if something is in the public domain it's fine to use
you must have rights to the assets
in this case, submitting it for a contest with prices, it propalby also needs to be allowed for commercial things?
which limits free assets often
fpaul, you down with the "down with fpaul" train?
yeah say you want music, can't use any copyrighted songs or w/e
Sean... Are you down with fpaul?
so horror games
im up with owning jamie
can use stuff from like incompetech though if you credit them
@vocal shard what 

wait @mighty galleon why though?
why what?
why are you on "\the down with FPaul train" 😂
Why "what"?
Well then that would be fine then
it is still his creation and he owns the rights to it
Oh, so open source and original assets?

A lot of copyright law is gray area and creators do make mistakes, but I think most creators, including myself, are very welcoming and encouraging of fan games. I've always been a fan of TJoC; I've never said a negative word about it. In fact, if it had used its own characters rather than the FNaF characters then it could have been its own game. I've never claimed ownership of animatronic robots; I've said that many times on forums. The games used as examples here were self-described fan games.
All anyone can do is handle these things on a case by case basis; trying not to abuse the system while also protecting the brand that made the fan games and fan community possible.
uhm
that's what's allowed?
unless he stated that anyone else can use his creations
because, when i see fpaul i see he's hiding a scheme behind those eyes, you cant trust those avatars
there is your statement
But no one asked for scotts statement???
Just because he doesn't care doesn't mean they're original
^
if you really want to you can email them and just ask
what is their email
official emails are proof that they gave you the rights to use
Its allowed to make something inspired by it(with credits), but if its exact copy or close to it you have the right to take legal measures.
Might be a waste of time depending on what the rules say
even if they do give permission though you need to follow their guidelines about it
Do they require original assets and open source things?
so if they they say you can't use their official models you can't use them
it'd be easier and safer to just reskin what you have and make original models and such
Permission isn't what you need, according to the rules. You need the actual rights to it
Permission isn't the same as a written right, as far as I know.
thank you
I've got a question: I'm trying to upload my first avatar and it says too many poligons?
Just import something which was copyrighted more than 30 years ago
you need to decimate it to be below 20k tris @feral trellis
How do I do that?
Unless it's Disney shit. Disney can extend copyright forever because they have money
It woudl have to be something copyrighted more than 30 years ago and that didn't have the copyright upkept
Look up tutorials for it
Which would require way too much research and paperwork to find out
things only become public domain 70 years after the copyright holder dies AND the copyright hasn't been reregistered
law is different from each country
At the moment I am working on the Dead Space VR, so far 1 month. And it is almost done. And when I noticed Halloween Event was coming up I worked even faster cause I wanted to use that for my entry. But yeah.
Also you're suggesting to go find some 3D models and assets from he 80s and early 90s and then convert them to use in Unity? lol
no I'm just saying that's how public domain works if something was copyrighted in the past
Ah not you, someone said find something from 30 years ago
Odds are it's gonna look ugly as hell and hard to work with
I mean you could probably base some horror maps off of grimm's fairy tales
there's some fucked up shit in those
i might just tell the person who made my avatar to go put it in there and see if he can reek the rewards xD
as i said, every country is different 
ther are countries who dont even know what copyright is
law wise
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You mean China?
It seems like a waste of time to do the research to find all copyrights just for judges to deny you because they ALSO don't want to do the legwork to make sure everything is legit
@mighty galleon you said "my avatars are original"
yeah
that's a rarity
i get the art done for it and ask a friend to make them for me
are they MMDs?
they're based off my ngihtmares
oohh nvm
no mic
yeah
😂
dg, im not able to make avatars so i pay my friend to make them for me
no problem
Would be neat to use zed mini and vrchat to have vrarchat
?
? What
whos zed
Zed mini is a stereoscopic accesory for vr headsets enabling roomscale ar
never heard of it
Ok.
Its not worth looking into unless you have the 449$ to shell out
Its an expensive add on.
Are there any avatars that i can just download and upload?
I'm terrible with unity 😛
Oh. My bad.
It's really annoying because I just Can't figure it out 😦
watch a tutorial on blender avatar
a forbidden word that everyone knows :>
Why is it forbidden
bad site
I have been watching loads of tutorials man, I'm like an old man with excel. I have no clue what im doing haha
step by step tutorial on cats should do it
its blacklisted due to the content that people upload on there.
Oh i wouldnt know im just a steam user
usually modded sdks
No customs from me
But it'd be cool to see avatars in vr chat interacting in my living room in ar
Then again. Trolls.
?
Mixed reality?
sounds complicated
Seems like a new place to start for beginners.
pill, before you go , i wanted to ask what's your opinion on the direction vrc is heading, sorry to bother btw 
But zed mini would be best in regards to this use case
Sure. VRChat is going to take over the world. That's my opinion on where it's heading 😃


sean i'd really appreaciate if you'd put a end to that sentence
aw
World domination is the end goal, I knew it
total world domination i see
Also, regarding that question about original ideas, would really need more detail to know what you are talking about. If there's any specific question about the contest send it to hello@vrchat.com and they'll forward it over to us.
You'll need a better engine than Unity 5.6 first
SOON.
I do want it to go in that direction though
Like i said. Augmented reality vr chat cross platform. Would be. Heaven.
I want to see every single person use VRChat in the future
I don't need real the real world if I can live in VRChat
make vrchat into oasis
Some people already sleep in VRChat every night, not sure if you're aware as you're very busy
caffeine are you the same caffeine with chrome loving
Oh yeah I'm aware. I tried it once.
Oh, cool!
Couldn't do it. With the headset on it was too difficult to sleep.
I'm sure people who sleep on their back it would be easier.
Yeah Sean, I changed profile picture to this as a joke directed at myself
I sleep on side its a no from me
I can't either, since I use glasses, but it seems to work for some
I will change back some time, I like that other picture a lot
i cant sleep in vr b/c i sleep on my stomach xD
It's 1am, so I will go make more coffee now
Whaat? Can't you just go to sleep now?
Sigh
Sleep?
-pats elire-
I haven't heard of that server
Guess sleep is for the weak then.
yep
I've got an avatar ready to upload and all it says is future proofing and then doesn't do anything
Am i doing something wrong?
Disable future proofing, it's not useful either way and it slows down uploading by like 5 times
But sometimes it just doesn't want to work and you will have to renew the avatar ID thingy in the pipeline..Thingy
In the login menu of the SDK I think
Yeah i got it. It's saying it can't find a temp file now FFS
Sometimes when im in the game over longer peroids of time my GPU gets up on 100% load and the game drops to 5-10 frames
if i reload into the same world it stops
anyone got a fix for this? without reloading into the game
Jufo I have that sort of issue after opening and closing the steam menu in vr. It just starts randomly or is there some trigger?
People in the Beta can now see people who're not in the Beta?
By changing the launch options of the game, yeah
That launch option people keep posting in the discord does it.
I don't think there's a trigger, it just happens randomly after being in the game usually for a long peroid of time. (5 hours ish????)
I've noticed the trigger for messing VRchat the most is hitting the damn steam button
Oh, thanks
Hawaiian.
Without pineapple
I'm a meat man
oh hi advert

hows it been
Busy, doing some stuff.
for game or irl?
For IRL, haven't done that much stuff for in game.
i wish you luck then advert
Thank you, I need all of that.
Helllo I wanna cry
whats wrong big guy
There's probably a world for that, if not, should I make one?
There is
My account is taking forever to create
I would join that world, if I could create my account
is there a world for picking up cyber e chicks
:0
Oh, try changing browser
the problem is u havent paypalled me all of your money yet
Some extension probably killed it
Wow, that's almost as slow as the VRChat upload servers
Fellas I’m slowly making my way into a lobby
You're not gonna have a good time at those speeds
500/500 here
Symmetrical fiber is nice
whats
I just had it installed yesterday
Fiber optic internet with symmetrical upload and download, so 200mbps down and up
I live with 3 other roommates, two of which play VR lol
darn
But our ISP is being really quite brazen and installing fibre to literally every house across the entire country for free, you just pay for the service if you choose to use it
What is this country you speak of? 👀
Canada lol
It's rolling out over several years, I just happen to be in an early adopt city
Damn son, that's great. Wish that's how it is in here as well.
Hopefully eventually the modern world will run off the glass internet
I mean it mostly does for intercontinental type stuff, but yeah
That will take quite a lot of years before that can happen.
Yeah.
darn
Glass?
Fiber Optic Internet
Australia has the worst internet I s2g
You mean some places still don't use fiber?
Apparently some third world countries are faster then Australia
Even the Philippines?
P sure my are is using copper still
Limited as in?
I think their government had a huge budget for internet
Limited GB you can use then your net will be slowed down.
And then decided "screw fiber, we will use copper, and overpay by a lot"
Yikes
No about the GB yes about the gov stuff
And spend 60 billion on copper lines, right?
Is this like the ISPs fron the US?
Internet Service Providers
This NBN is the worst idea
I guess that's just the internet for the place where a friend's living in.
Like Verizon, AT&T, etc
I hope we have another election and the other major political party will win and fix our internet
I crashed trying to change my mouse sensitivity
Wish real hard for that 'cause politicians tend to not get what "the internet" is.
The people in charge are usually those who don't know how anything works
Rodrigo "You smoke pot you get shot" Duterte
Though, I guess we shouldn't go to that area 'cause server rule.
Nah these dudes kinda got it cus they made sure to give all University’s faster internet then the NBN before they got elected out
I think they know pretty well how campaign contributions and lobbying works
They're probably concerned with political relations than Internet problems
#general-media pls
Sorry ruuubick
Also, let's move on from the politics discussion because of #5.
Yeah sorry
@modern sand 

Do try not to ping admins unless it's an emergency.
oh hi purpleheart, been a while
Yeah sorry about that guys tried not to bring rule 5 in, my bad, i wont do it again
do you remember me? xD
Sorta
kk
I've just been super busy.
I am in vrc everyday, but usually like an hour or 2.
I'm in lots of other discords that I usually have my eyeballs on cause there's good content in there.
An avatar overlaying a ui picture on my screen is a hack right?
Nah, it's a shader
An annoying one, sure, but it can be done with shaders. It's also how your mic icon works
Can't wait for that new update then
Mine works alright
Maybe it's because they left?
A friend had the same issue earlier, tried to block a person who had crashed him in the previous instance
I saw him vanish when i blocked him.
Lol, the "request help" API thing seems to be called "halp"
Lol
I love working from home, I schedule my own VR time
Play, upload content, etc
Where can i see the info on how to get it?
it should be in the announcement
how do i know when i get my use of avatar privlage back
You get an email
Or in game notification
also how come my game crashes when i join a server, than another onother one in the same play sestion
i doesnt say how to rank up to purple user
@rigid crescent do i have to specifically upload a world?
No, it says how to increase rank though
"The Trust system’s inner workings are intentionally hidden so that it is more difficult to exploit. Regardless, the best way to raise your Rank is simply to play VRChat — spending time exploring, making friends, and creating content (once you are permitted to do so) will all help you increase your Trust Rank, and will show off more of your avatar’s features."
Your rank doesn't really matter anyway, not a huge deal. just play the game like you normally have been
All my friends are purple i was just like nani
It's dependant on various things. There's some purple who've never made a world.
Darkrp gmod players
COS
(Crash on site)
Take that with you tonight.
also how come my game crashes when i join a server, than another onother one in the same play sestion
now my game keeps crashing
Beta testers come to Lag free box #16460 theres only 5 of us here
Which kind of crash gun is it that simply freezes your view on the last thing you were looking at?
Any that makes rendering the next frame virtually impossible, I guess
Wait
So you know the laughing coffin guys
Those crashers
Idk how they crash people
I think its like a particle overload
RPC messages
What
Either that or simply a whole load of polys.
Idk
At least that's how they link their shitty discord in your crash log
Every time you touch an object that has object sync on it, you send that to other players
Also when you click non-local buttons
Those kind of events can also be send by modified clients (which is how they teleport you) but some people just write bullshit in them, which the system really dislikes, so it choses just to freeze
Some edgy modded client discord is my guess, I haven't tried and I don't plan to
Edgy
You need to be edgy to reference laughing coffin and crash random people with Discord advertisement
It just yells "moody, arrogant teenager who has learned basic coding"
The only reason I asked is I just got hit with it, and wanted to identify which kind it was.
Yeah
From my experience, blocking them doesn't help either, it sucks
It would be a bit interesting if they made your character die when hit or something instead (like when you're shot in CTF or that FPS minigame that was briefly popular and then never seen again)
ggo?
Sao reference was not a bad idea, but I don't want their Discord in my crash logs, I want my 5kb back
If you got a lot of random friends
Like u just added everyone
Yougot a lot of people you can bond with
can people on the open beta branch see people on the public branch?
and vice versa?
no
only people see beta to beta
thanks
Actually, something weird seems to be going on where people in the beta CAN meet those not in the beta.
Met up with some friends just today, who were both in it whilst no one else was.
They could see our nametag colours and everything.
No I'm serious, we met up with them just fine in a public world. They were on twitch blatantly using the beta, whilst the rest of us weren't.
Although I do also know what you're talking about, regarding people failing to join and getting sent to a different world. Since I found myself there the day before.
The way the beta is working currently is definitely buggy and inconsistent whatever it is that's going on.
there is a way to do it with launch options, but that is not recommended
Another friend of mine, who isn't using the beta, has said he now gets loads of people coming up to him and asking how he got the gold nametag, asking his playtime etc.
Whatever those launch options are, it seems like a lot of people are doing it accidentally.
they can't do it accidentally. it's a specific code you need to write in the game launch text box. it's just being spread around tho
best not to do mostly like get banned that way
