i just need a wing flap
used to work before they took away legacy\
@thick flare for what ?
reset world object
it make them return to a place
yeah
he used my old method and made it with animators
this is for world objects https://www.dropbox.com/s/jyqwkrxevr5utcy/WorldObjects.unitypackage?dl=0
rokk did a blink one too
but i dont know jack shit about using it
anyone got a written tutorial
youtube is horrible
made by kuro
You could just up something simple if you're using mmd
okay anyone wanna vrchat in like 20?
minutes?
?
i dont want a toggle prop though
like a tail wag animation
or are these not back from the legacy graveyard?
check the video in #animation
if you used legacy animation you can easily use animators
...just said i didnt want youtube videos but π€·
it better not be thirty minutes of drawl
it's literally the only video explaining it
if you're trying to have something constantly moving like a tail wag you should animate it in blender
i can do the same thing in unity tho ?
they abuse bandwidth and are dispropotionally large for tutorials
as well as having an extreme chance of being outdated without any way to update
i still dont understand your point solius
you can do the exact same in unity
you usually have to sit through drawl and mouse crawling across the screen before something actually happens
not to mention when the person takes 10 minutes to preform a task that can be done in 1
and because animations created in blender are executed on the mesh level whereas in unity you're animating properties
If you want to create character animations for specific movements that pertain to your character, do them in Blender. If you want to create animations that affect Unity-specific variables, then use the Unity Animator.
ah crap
and how do you transfer those animation in unity?
this means i need to redo dynamic bones and emission maps again
thats easy svel
you export them with the fbx
and you will have an animation file with it
no
then you go to animations in model
they are attached to it
do not come as a seperate file but you can control + d
just rename it
yeah
but at the end of the whole process
you will have an animation file
yes
so from what i understand
i know all this
just dont know how the fuck to touch an animator
there are stuff in that animation file that can't be done in unity then
these things are so badly designed its a nightmare
no
you literally duplicate the file
@vocal shard if you want a tail wag on an animator, just
and it works
Put an animator on the first tail bone
Make new animation with tail selected
Done
Or modify an existing one and change the paths with F2
YES NOW HOW DO I KEEP IT GOING
On the animation
Yeah because it's animation 101
You might want to try some regular Animator tutorials on Unity
You just tick loop on the animation file in assets
@versed cape i'm really sorry, i don't understand your point
Hi, are there people ingame?
Someone knows good Horror maps in Vrc Γ
if you transfer the animation from blender to unity, it doesnt matter where you made it at the end
since the end result will be the same
isnt loop time... checked by default though?
you dont just say
@hushed quiver according to the bot there are 7354 users online
hey lets do this and this
!online
There are 7356 users in VRChat currently
@hushed quiver
then walk away
loop is unchecked by default
meaning that the animation will play once and then stop
great
so i assume every user knows animation 101?
no they watch video tutorials
when you click on the animation file you have like 3 checkboxes
the first one being "loop"
ugh
i have the attention span of a goldfish video isnt the future

@vocal shard do you have use of an emote inventory?
a what?
you mean the emote overrides or some legacy thing that broke
you know what
ill go weightpaint my skirt to my legs
and maybe someone will have input on a different topic then
!online
There are 7314 users in VRChat currently
@vocal shard xiexe made a script to generate an inventory that lets you use your emote menu to turn game objects in and off, using animators
Yup, ok thx, but i'm looking for people to join.
Just join a public world with people in it
Yeah yeah..
π
wouldnβt this also let you turn face gestures on and off π€
Yes, but only if you bury your Body mesh deeper in the hierarchy
Which will break the prefab unfortunately
Unless you just leave your regular one disabled
ah darn
Not really darn, just takes more effort
I def will check it out though. Iβve messed with animations a bit. Literally read the backlog and had a eureka moment.
Howdy
nice
you could always kick yourself
i can play god
-pats- oh but if thou playeth god, you shal be stabbed in thine back
im bored
E
ok
hmm?
I will never uderstand why am I green with 600 hours and made over 20 avatars
Amazing vrchat system
why does it bother you so much though?
i will die of boredom
@hardy crystal there's more than just hours... do you interact with the core vrchat community? Do you interact with the vrchat team?
That is definitely strange, the system is imperfect @hardy crystal
someone save me from boredom
@olive mulch go watch tier zoo
I've figured it out partly, maybe even mostly on how the system dictates how a user levels up to being trusted rank.
@opaque hawk hey hey hey, dont use up all the sarcasm for this chat in one go π
@covert chasm can I get legendary tag on discord? 
Dont mention the poor fella 
@rough flax Why would I interact with the VRChat team what do I have to talk with them about exactly? And of course with 600 hours I would have a lot of friends I don't just AFK
@olive mulch go draw something or read manga?
The system IS imperfect though
i dont draw nor read manga
im trying
what games cha got?
but none of my friends are on vrchat
How can the vrchat team trust you if they've never seen you or talked to you? Trusted tag means more than just a lot of people having you added and lots of playtime.
How would I even find them
What
In all my 600 hours I've never seen a VRChat team member playing
At this point, it's kinda hard to find them just going to random lobbies. You'll have to join community events to find them.
I ran into Tupper at the Pug Once
Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds @rough flax
I can just see that
Let me just World hop until I find a vrchat team members so I can "try" to be trusted near him
@πΉ πΊ π΅ π΅ πͺ π·
Like not only the chance of finding a vrchat team member is so low
But the chance after that for him to "trust" you is probably even lower
Why is running into the Devs in game important?
@rough flax Claims you need to to be trusted
he claims bullshit lmao
That's what I'm saying
Ye does
just because you talk with a team member doesnt mean you will get trusted
that's not how it work
So like, the system is imperfect, just play the game, be kind to others, do what you do.
Yeah and 600 hours are not enough
Hmm a debate continue
it's not time based
there is a blog post that explain what doesnt give you trust points
Link
and that's literally all we know about it
rest is pure guess work
based on nothing
Link
Perfect
that's zeldo π
I'm pretty sure it takes into account your interactions. So if people blocked you or mute you lol
Tupper 
Lol
rukio, we dont know about it
I know
and even if it does, it's probably almost irrelevant in the end
I was just adding to you
since you could just grab some groups and mass kick/report someone
the blog say that uploading a lot of low quality worlds doesnt work
That's an extreme
which is a little hint to what actually matters with worlds
why doesnt it work ?
... no? π€
the system works, that's why only a handful complain about it, otherwise everybody would be mad
i got demoted from trusted to known in one day without me even playing the game, so the system is still getting adjusted
it's still in beta btw
as said in the menu UI
No? Then why people with 200-300 hours get trusted user when I have 600 hours and been playing since December 2017 made friends, avatars, explored worlds
If you have something to complain about make a canny post
I even created a support ticket about it
i've been playing almost everyday since july 2017 and i'm known user
And they said "Nothing to do about it, that's how it works"
i'm not complaining
i dont see the problem
just play and you will get trusted one day
Because the system works in a way that is intentionally undocumented, it is still being tuned, and details about how it works will never be released aside from some obvious things we sometimes tell people.
I quite like the system, still needs refinement though as there are some with trusted that breach rules etc but Beta is Beta for a reason
Read the blogs, they'll answer your questions π
if you want to make to system work better, report abuse and make cool stuff and just be nice
or read this, this is the most up to date version https://docs.vrchat.com/v2018.3.2/docs/vrchat-safety-and-trust-system
The VRChat Trust and Safety system is a new extension of the currently-implemented VRChat Trust system. It is designed to keep users safe from nuisance users using things like screen-space shaders, loud sounds or microphones, visually noisy or malicious particle effects, and ...
also why does it matter what rank you are ? it's just a color
I personally don't know how it works (I've kept myself in the dark intentionally) but from what I've seen, just play/use VRChat. It doesn't matter when interacting with your friends anyways because you're always going to see stuff on them and vice versa. on top of that if you want to show stuff off to someone in particular, just ask them to unhide your avatar. Takes a few seconds at worst
Still not happy about the shader fallback
In the end, the settings are decided-upon by the user, and just like you don't get to tell someone in an FPS what FOV to use or what resolution to use, you don't get to say what components users have enabled/disabled
I have one model where people with blocked shaders simply see a purple capsule
THANOS CAPSULE
Okay just to be honest I'm actually relived that @covert chasm Took my comments into account and replied.
I haven't had any issues with shader fallback since I use standard and standard(specular) most of the time anyway
Default filter is also not very good honestly
This page serves as a description of the Shader Blocking System, how it operates, and how shader authors can work with it so that their shader falls back gracefully when a user has Shaders blocked on an avatar using a given shader. When a shader is blocked by the Safety Syst...
should give you enough info
Yeah I know about that at least
But I still haven't figured out how to make this shader simply fall back to "literally do nothing"
Just gotta wait for Reddit leaks about the new system
Tell it to fall back to transparent, probably
i see most of the models of the white user have default shader
isn't cubed suppose to be whitelisted?
not really
Oh this reminds me, I should mark my avatar pedestals if their shaders fallback gracefully or not
But right now they simply fall back to unity's default shaders or a built-in mockery of a "toon" shader
People assume it's compile times
fallback isn't intended to be a perfect recreation of any given shader, it is intended to be a "good enough" standardized version
I don't think they want to deal with including third party code in their builds even if it's just shaders
Also, is Nuisance even in use?
there is no compile times in vrchat ... it has precompiled shader objects
only a last driver specific compilation
i'm yet to see a nuisance user
anyone wanting to play or nah?
!online
There are 7092 users in VRChat currently
Pretty sure there are plenty of people for you to meet right now
idk
Instance list is still a little buggy for some reason
higher than normal for this time of day, prob because VRChat was on a very popular japanese morning talk show today 
I can only see 4 pug instances at any point
Oh right, VRC is gaining popularity in Japan.
ohhhhh
I bet they could skyrocket themselves up even further by supporting the VRM model format.
that's why VRPill was in some japanese tweets
For which Unity support already exists
vrpill know how to speak japanese
@vocal shard he vist japan alot plus talk to japanese in vrchat
oh that's why
I've been going through some random avatar worlds and viewing their material count in editor... Most/all avatars have 15+ materials π
color me disappointed
Yepp
Deny them for being badly made π
I always put great care in mine
Like just pull them :^) ezpz
I think the world review team is cracking down a lil bit on the avatar worlds
wouldn't be surprised for them to get tired of badly optimized avatars
or ones with huge amounts of dynamic bones
Speaking of which, my lag-free doofenshmirtz got rejected because the world and avatar were supposedly "not lagfree". The avatar is literally one material, 400 polys, and no dynamic bones. How much more "lag-free" than that can you get?
@median basalt I think they're also cracking down on the use of that term from looking at the previous few days of reviews
Yeah, when I just started out I thought I was optimized because my models were only 5000 polygons. Turns out they were 112 meshes, SDK never warned me
@covert chasm right, but the world and avatar are lag-free. I know I made the world mostly as a joke, but I legit made the entire world a single mesh and 2 materials. Even the avatar pedestal model is grafted into the floor itself.
i mean, i'm not doing reviews, but it isn't lag free
Frankly, with 1 material and 400 polys, there's not much more to optimize.
Think I've only ever used 15+ materials in a world
lol Iβm updating a lot of my avatars. Tupper you are going to know exactly when I figured out atlases
Yeah, but then what you're really doing is just rejecting all lag-free worlds right off the bat. Which would be fine, but then at least say so. Additionally, there are laggier worlds that call themselves lagfree and still go through, it all depends on who your reviewer for the day is.
dunno, i'll chat with them about it
if i was them i'd just deny any world going forward using the term
Just ban usage of the term lagfree yeah
But I think that's what they're already doing
fucking finally
Can't really do much better than an avatar with literally 1 draw call
they also need to check avatar worlds more closely
Ban all the stupid terms
!
@median basalt Does that need to be a public world though
It probably doesn't.
I don't think we need more lag free worlds plenty of them out there π€·
seeing a world with 60 avatars that are the same but with just a color change is really annoying
My βlag free boxβ avatar will no longer be relevant. Iβm okay with that
I made it as a joke, but it seems this is also confirmation that the term "lag-free" is banned altogether.
that's fine
Having lagg free avatars is better then lagg free worlds anyway π
^
Can I make a "kind of laggy" world?

but when they all have 20+ materials it's kinda a big no-no
Its strange to me anyways-- worlds are essentially never the source of frame lag
except in extreme cases
Pug
Less lag avatars for days please
People complain about the Pug being laggy but it is one of the best optimized worlds in VRChat
Well worlds do cause problems when the lights are scuffed
I've seen plenty of worlds that were pretty laggy
cool meme avatars [lag free]
@covert chasm the Pug has 5 different mixed lights in entirely unnecessary places
remove al dyamic bone
Used to be
That's not "best optimized" IMO
make a cube avatar
pug is one of the map that i lag for no reason tho
Pug frame time is less than 1ms in most cases, highest I've gotten it is around 1.7ms
which is low
Is the pug optimized? Is it just the player count lagging it then? I haven't been in an empty one before
very low
instead of lag free, can i give people free lag?
PUG has really strange lighting, some places specular works and others it doesn't
The problem is that the lights add more passes to avatars, which makes it seem like the avatars are the issue.
It's an easy thing to blame but it's not true
People go into the pug with less optimized avatars than the pug itself
How do you see that, btw? I want better debugging than Unity's profiler
editor, you can't access it unfortunately
If avatars are the issue, maybe the SDK should start yelling at us for having too many materials
I mildly disagree on the pug, I get cpu spikes that prevent a solid 90s.
Aww
And dynamic bone
and fucking meshes
It's probably garbage collection
Otherwise I would get 90fps in there on a vive pro.
more than 4-5 mats on public avatars is ridiculous
SDK changes are something I personally want to do, but it has to fit into the dev pipeline
I recently went back and atlased an old public avatar of mine that was like 20 materials
Got it down to 1 easy
what would you change, Tupper ?
I made my textures instanciated, now I have like 200 calls to "cleanup" every second causing small spikes
I think all the avatars in my world are very low on material count now
Make a maximum requirement for mats in sdk, gets bypassed π€· People don't want to play with settings π¦
@subtle prawn the SDK should at least set an example
they wouldn't be requirements. Never trust the SDK/client. warnings for >4 meshes, warnings for >8 materials
When I just started out, I uploaded something with 112 meshes. The SDK told me I was a-okay because it only had 5k polys
Actually, people should also delete all old tutorials
Warnings for dynamic bone too?
plays an air horn if materials > 15
people will bypass it but people will still follow the rules seeing as how people ask how to get under 20k
yeah
warning for dyn bone yeah
I agree with that
in a perfect world I'd have a system like Safety, but with performance-- on "normal" mode, if you have more than 40 dynamic bones (not scripts, bones), it just disables all bones on your avatar for other users
I have pretty simple worlds, but I make sure they run so fast that vsync breaks and I get 110 FPS and frame stutter
and warn in the SDK too
@tidal aspen Its an big part about informing users instead of getting them to do it
No shadows, static objects, only simple colliders, mobile shaders
"If you upload this avatar with ${dynbones.count}, users on Normal Performance Mode won't see your dynamic bones!"
social pressure π
Most users still think its ALL about poly count and nothing else...
CATS should throw in warnings about bones like how they now do with materials
CATS does not know what you're doing with dynamic bones.
CATS cant see-- Damit too slow
dyn bones are added after. I can warn on large bonecount though
CATS is telling you about material now which is a really good thing
But Hotox is bae for a reason so
there optimize for bone to in cats
just make it so everyone's nameplates show how optimized their avatar is by showing the material count and meshes 
Cats can't really detect which bones you're gonna use for dynamic bones
But they can tell material count
lmao
Yes, with the additions to shotariya's atlas, it should be even easier
The auto atlasing is better than ever
that thing is the best thing ever
And apparently people actually watch my manual atlas video which is nice
so fucking easy to use
Only issue is that the auto atlas generates non-POT textures
I've gone back and redone much of my avatars
Yeah I love the new auto atlas
i'm sharing your video when i can Rokk
Thanks
The problem with the atlases that Shotariya's plugin generates is that they are often huge-- over 4k
Non-power of two textures are automatically converted to powers of two
But this can sacrifice quality
if you force import to 2k or 4k that's fine, but you should also use crunch compression
Doesn't Unity compres them to 2k anyway?
it will always be more optimized than 20 materials tho
Does the auto atlas work with normal, specular or metallic maps?
it defaults to 2k, but people can override it
Yeah, the problem with the auto atlas is that if you are using a tiny part of a 2k texture, the entire 2K texture is stitched in. That's why I manually atlas.
my atlas is 4k, but I crunch compressed down to 1.3mb
TDA models have a 2k body texture for example. It covers the whole body but is often only used on the hands.
It will be better CPU wise, but maybe the same GPU wise?
Unity reduces it on import anyway hopefully
I don't think a lot of people would know that you can override them anyway
My atlases are basically always 4k and crunched.
because I waifu2x'd my face/eyes 
Lol

Wat
π
π
π
Machine learning image scaling

AUGH
no! it's perfect, I use it all the time on low res textures
My general chat 
EXCEL WTF
Also why have i never known about this website :notlie
Ruuubicks, gotta add an function into VRCbot that just auto triggers an #general-media msg π Ez
Like have it post every 12h atleast
I tend to use waifu2x on the sleeves of almost every Reimu model I come across
Since they often use the same low-ish quality sleeve stitching
Tupper you can't just write caps and not explain what excel did
The one before did-
instantly ?
Pretty much selfbotto
okay, finally stopped being scuffed then
no, i just shoved it into pm2 and told it to relaunch instantly upon crash 
discord.js has an unhandled interrupted connection state
and doesn't get caught by client.on('error')
JS is evil
Ow snap this months Humble bundle is already nice
is it unity related?
Itβs the overwhelming positive bundle 2 right?
Oh, I donβt pay attention to those
Hollow knight, Hitman complete first season and 7days to die already
Neat, Hollow Knight is a must play
Lol, I can't get the monthly
You need a credit card, or paypal. But if you use paypal, you still need a credit card.
Not in the US so my debit card isn't recognized
;-;
Doesn't matter that I have a ton of money to throw at them
They don't want it because I don't have a plastic card
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Rip
I think it's because you can chargeback with paypal
I dont have an credit card (just linked an Maestro card) and it worked aye owkay
You can chargeback with any card.
Fair enough, dunno then
I think they just want an additional way to succ your money if you don't unsubscribe manually
Notice me tupper senpai
tfw someone actually cares about their rank 
A number of people I know seemed confused about my rank but I'm not bothered by it since I'm rarely in the game and spend more time just making things
I toggle myself to green because if people ignore me if Iβm green than they are probably to shallow to be my friend anyway
^
I only switch to trusted if i wanna show off my avatars with cool animations. Or while using knuckles variations of my personal model.
i just use the 0 safety preset and i don't care about anything else
my experience with the game didnt change much
With that attitude Iβm sure you will
i just see more and more people ignoring visitors and new users
Looks like the system didn't work as it was intended to be...
Such is human nature.
^ exactly, the tribal mentality of having a class system is hardwired in our DNA. I guess it's something we learn to unlearn as we grow more mature.
I mostly just see new users talking to each other and trusted users running around as green boys or running around doing shenanigans as usual
don't really see much change
after 2k hours in the game I too am tired of socializing and just want to act stupid
wouldn't it encourage more communication between new users?
it seems to
gray blue and green lads seem to stick together
I'm pretty sure that's how it's always been though, it's just very noticable now
I went into the Pug last night with the intent of being silent yet animated. Two people who knew me saw me βhey link why arenβt you talking β
frustrated sigh
@covert chasm when will the broken necks on crouching be fixed
Anyways, another topic. I haven't been crashed by anyone since the new update. But I encountered two malicious players who were able to get everyone's frames down to 1 or 2. It was so bad that I had to force close the game and restart.
π
I wouldnβt say thatβs a fix, but good to know
@cerulean dust That's even worse.
Well, not as bad as a crasher totally freezing your entire computer, but it's still bad.
I overheard two people in the pug say they've been using repeated blocking and unblocking of another user to lag them out instead
but it takes a group of people doing it
seems unreliable
@opaque hawk its not the default state for the rig anymore
so yes its a hotfix
not a permanent fix
The Devs will get there Iβm sure
that 1 fps thing is bad since you have to manually quit out of the game which creates no crash logs...i t hink?
still leave a log behind that you use
Does anyone have some cool .anims they wouldnt mind sharing? I'm looking to enhance my emotes
@white inlet
@sacred patio
how can i get in the beta
is there any way to remap controls? my WMR headset uses both the hand gestures for walking and handgestures
I have two joysticks unused
maybe steam advance input
where is that?
@plucky acorn in steamvr there's an option to change the controller mapping with some already made by the community. I use my wmr thumbsticks for movements, and touchpad for gestures.
I'll send you a link to my video how to do it
question guys which vr headset would be better mixed reality or oculus?
^
I love wmr, but I'd still recommend oculus over it to the average player for the touch controlers
Yeah wmr is great, Its what I have. One con of having it is that you cant put your hands behind you. and your controllers may bug out at times if the headset loses LED tracking. But its not the worst so im not really complaining
oculous
Gonna buy full body tracking but would like to know exactly what I need for it
So I need 3 trackers. 2 for my feet and 1 for my hips. Do I need another sensor for on my wall?
On top of buying the straps for the trackers
i would get 1
get 3
2 in front 1 in back
but have them angled above you facing downward onto you
to clarify you can put your hands behind you with wmr..., Just not as accurate
Not for mine, mine just stays in its place and just kinda turns
So the Vive comes with 2 sensors that go opposite of each other so the 3rd one would go in front of me?
But like the other side
look in a mirror while putting your hands behind you
MYTH BUSTED @vocal shard
So only one corner would be missing a sensor
decided to get the oculus thanks guys!
If they are moving, they keep tracking. I made a whole video demonstrating wmr, it's tracking, and use in vrchat
hm idk mine just dont work behind my head
If you stop moving or are too slow, they will stick. Fluid movements are tracked for about 10 seconds before completely shutting down because the software doesn't have enough input to be sure
Tbh I didnβt know you were suppose to get a 3rd sensor till just now
Good luck @viral yacht π
well i've seen footage of an xbox 1 kinnect that can let you do FBT
Does the base vive support more than 2 sensors?
yeah thats pretty true @vocal shard
mine just kinda shake a lot
then they bug out
and like
fly away?
The Kinect isnβt the greatest. Iβve tried it and every time I pick up my legs it bends the knees, plus it isnβt 360
I've kept hearing that the normal vive only supports 2 lighthouses
yeah, but it works
yeah lol but people find it hilarious how scuffed my arms are
So only people who have the Vive pro can do 3 sensors?
Does that mean all full body players have the pro or?
No
You only need the three trackers for full body
A third sensor isn't required.
Lol, true. When I play in the dark, I sometimes get those arms, and it's funny. But with good lighting and a Bluetooth dongle away from the PC, it's smooth as long as in the camera range. Then degrades as it goes out outside
@viral yacht One for the hip and two for the legs, afaik
So what would the 3rd sensor even do? Just better coverage?
Yeah
The vive lighthouses aren't actually sensors, they are becons, and the HMD,controllers,trackers, track those inside out. Having a third or more gives them a better chance to see them. But the normal vive has been using 2 this whole time
i think the new rating system is hilarious
But the normal Vive canβt even use 3 sensors, only 2?
Yeah
Two.
The body trackers are what you need 3 of
Those pucks you put on your legs and waist.
Whelp I hope it works just as good with 2 sensors, as long as I can dance and what not without disconnecting Iβm good
I have 0 issues with anything else so far, like my arms never disconnect or go crazy
As long as your playspace is clear farther down it ought to be fine.
Sweet
I literally use to have so many issues and never knew that the problem was
Then I realized it was because my closet is a huge mirror
Oof
Oof yeah
Yep that'll do it.
The lighthouses send out ir beams in a specific pattern, if those are bounced around, that will mess up the tracking
All it takes is a mirror, dance pole, or a large picture frame to mess you up but most things are easy to cover.
!online
There are 7517 users in VRChat currently
Any idea why no players are loading for me?
stuck on 0 %
only like 3 people loaded
What the heck?
VRChat for the whole werewolf game just like crashed for all of us..
It was like one by one the game crashed.. and VRChat won't relaunch for me steam says its still running..
There it goes..
I wanna make a troll map for trusted users only. But I dunno how many people are gonna take it seriously.
Careful, if someone takes your jokes seriously you can get banned apparently lol
I was thinking of a small purple themed bar with a bouncer outside saying trusted only. The bar will be called "Trusted or Busted".
No triggers kicking people out or anything, I just wanna see how the memes play out.
My idea for a map if I study on how to use unity.. I would make something very scary XD
I have very good ideas for a haunted house like world.
Would probably go by the name of House of Horrors π
There are simple free horror assets in the unity store. You can always start small. My first few maps were 3x3 rooms with a mirror and some random pickupobjects.
<.<
hello all
I just was on vrchat
logged off to swap into vr mode (was in desktop)
and all of a sudden my cache was gone so I restarted my computer
still gone so I looked manually and yes it was indeed gone
I try to start up vr mode again and I get "A key component of SteamVR is not working"
so I uninstall and try redownload now I am getting "Disk Write Error"
anyone had this problem or know how to fix?
Weird.... Iβve never heard of anyone having a problem like that
My Windows Defender just updated just before all this happened
might be that
it was using A LOT of CPU as well
doing some research online also though and it might be my hard-drive failing π€·
oh that really sucks, im super sorry about that
But you should get a real diagnosis of your computer. For me I kept getting blue screened while on vrchat. I talked to NVIDIA (my gpu manufacturers) and it turns out it was out dated
@vocal shard
I talked to nvidia through my computer. On the phone
plastic bottles have reflections causing my headset to have a stroke and die )=
currently trying to install the latest driver update to see if that helps π
awesome, good luck
i dont belong in this conversation...
π
Got #general-media for that.
got a warning on my phone just now "New sign-in on Windows" and I was worried I was getting hacked but for some reason google didn't even recognise my computer... idk what is going on
π
change your passwords just incase
if you're certain its being hacked unplug the whole computer
But seriously, i really hope you figure this out. If you wanna go to extreme steps may be better off resetting the computer fully. but only if you know its a hacker
get avast if you can
<.<
@vocal shard if you are using windows 10, did you update your windows?
A recent problem has risen with the new update that makes it wipe all your user data
windows 10 shouldnt cause an issue unless you turned the built in security features off
there are some who are dumb enough to turn them off
The entire update is borked from windows, users are reporting their documents and files gone
And with what I hear of windows 10 forcing updates...
It just sounds like bad news.
maybe windows update build 1809 they are on
We have paused the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) for all users as we investigate isolated reports of users missing some files after updating.
Yes it was 1809
Spooky
workaround is wait for microsoft to release a patch
What are the best places to download vrc avatars
That was the fastest ive seen a message deleted man
Try bowlroll or nicovideo if you want MMD models
usually mmd sites, but idk if we are allowed to speak about it here
awesome, im looking for some halloween themed MMD models
Ah some are already out
other than you have to run them in blender 
Ive tried blender, doesnt let me add addons for some reason
Reinstall
ive done that
Blender fucks up randomly, utterly randomly
just tried a couple minutes ago
only thing i can say is that eye tracking may not work on all mmd models
had 2 where eye tracking broke and had to fix the eye position in order to get it to work
My blender recently went down to 1 fps and lags on every selection so it's most likely not you
<.<
yeah i dont know whats up with blender π
^^
ive tried following like 3 tutorials
i missread your thingy lego
I'm not sure, ive only tried uninstalling and reinstalling the newest one
I see
Do you know a site where i can download vrchat ready avatars? like for unity?
I really want this dl-https://www.deviantart.com/fghostly/art/MMD-Fairy-Tail-Juvia-Lockser-Clown-DL-713490800
just dl it and ask a friend to do the blender stuff and to send the files ready for unity
well'p i need to find someone who can do that for me π Dont have any friends who are into vrchat or blender
good luck
my friend has a fairy tail world idk if it has this though
oh mic, how do you like the ability to favorite public avatars?
oh really? Whats the name of it?
look up avatar guild hall
in world search
also, i only use my own so i havent favorited any, seems cool though
Alright, tysm
yeah, i dont use public avatars but ive friends who're loving it
specially since so many people have been asking to be able to do that
Most people were dying for that feature
I normally just download mine off of vrc m ods. I don't really have time to make my own.
never seeing anyone in the vrchat discord in game
Same I'm just waiting to see one of these ppl online
Used to be? 
yeah
Steam user?
nope
i'm online at night till 4am a lot lol
i just delete people i never go see or never see me
Oh :0
kinda pointless to keep on the friendlist, so i clear it of those things often
Did the vrchat team compile a whitelisted shader list yet
Using cubeds with no changes still gets me reverted for some reason
yeah its strange to see anime avatars wtih no shaders. they look like creepy dolls
Well it is spooky skeleton doot season
I just dont like the standard because it has no cutout
Some models that have shaders mixed with their avatar parts looked like distorted characters..
anyone know how to fix the problem for steam users of not able to grab a avatar from a private world? and not be able to upload?
And my wing looks like crap
lord
Not being able to upload is not a problem
steam users arent able to upload
^^
and what about grabbing avatars from private worlds?
and some avatar pedastals are for friends only
Does the avatar you try to grab have a lock on the pedestal?
And they can't use a avatars from private world's... Only public
no
@rigid crescent I cant find any worlds called "avatar guild hall"
Apparently what helton said
I left being a steam user after the first five seconds tbh
Very limited and tightly made
i had a steam account the first month i played
You can blame it on me not reading the page
And only bonus is that you can change your name often...
Steam accounts are like glorified guest accounts
glorified visitors
I still think visitor shouldve been a rank for steam users
But new users with steam accounts cant upload too..
It implies that they arent here for long
Which is what steam accounts are
The person might like vrchat and make a vrchat account
canny a new rank for steam users, its a pink color and turns off everything
rin pie i finally made it
Steam accounts should be treated like test tries, and presentation to the game rather than permanent accounts tbh...
Yay
Are you a visitor now (white nameplate)?
awesomeness
<.<
im super happy now
even though I've been playing since 2017...
ohh and the crashes and lagg semds vanished
rin
hi
Hi
what is your pic
Me in the morning
cute
Also me rn
@kindred sand

βBeing allowed to upload is based on reaching a certain trust rank which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.β
βYou presumably need to play the game in a normal manner, walking around, meeting people and also making some friends. Idling wont help and being a nuisance will give you the possibility of the lowest rank ingame.β
βAccording to many responses the typical time it takes seems to be between 20-40 hours to go from Visitor to 'New User' or User but big exceptions are possible.β
βMake sure you are not logged in to your steam account by accident because you can't upload as a 'New User' or User while using itβ
βPlay the game until you get a notification or e-mail of reaching a new rank and obtaining the ability to upload.β

Its very early in the morning
/copypasta

Morning to me
YOU LIE
i wont believe this suff such as timezones
thank youuuuuu

ima play like insane now my steam user was fer at least 40 hours and i can do it again and latest 3 days i gotten bout 5 adds a day
Woke up at 7:50 am and it's 9:10 am now, also Sean, it's not 12:09 am but pm to you...
no

helton
12 am is for when the moon comes down
So you are at midnight*?*
pst timezone
yes midnight
2:11 AM (CDT) for me
if you do the 24 hour clock you dont use the am/pm
Ay right all the US people now are late at night
Wish I didn't live in such a crappy timezone
helton its like this
11 am 12pm 1pm and all the way to night its like 11pm 12am 1am
Sean, I use both...
then how'd you think i was in pm xD
In 24 hours that would be 23:13
i rarely use 24 hour time as im use to 12 hour time format
For 11 pm
I got counfused with the 24 hour that you use
Ive grown used to it on my phone
8pm = 20:00
i can use both but i prefer 12 hour clock
ez
never
i never watch the sunset either
never was a naturalist
I like watching the moon rise
It's always so red and domineering
Then it gets smaller and paler
if it involves the outside world im not interested
You do you
Oh boy, this year has been a record for me, Seen the blood moon, the yellow moon, the blue moon, eaten cheese cake, played bowling, finished middle School and I am now in high school, became best man at my brother's wedding...
Aye
I also saw the blood moon
And the blue moon
also rin, i live in an apartment complex no way to actually watch the moon unles i go outside and stand in the street
thats dangerous
Its dark around because I live in a rural area
But I also saw a blue and yellow flashing moon while said event was happening. I've seen the yellow moon before at a bigger scale, but not like that...
But I can see all the constellations
so you must like outer space?
Very
It's kind of beautiful for a group death of stars
Mhm
when i was interested i was only interested in black holes
rin
that reminds me of a pic but cant post them here
I had to
wanna see in dm?
i only wanted to know what it'd be like to go into one
Getting ripped apart with high pressures*?*
Isn't it more like dissolved because of the pressure
would be interesting to feel
Just go to your nearest vacuum machine and stick your hand for a couple of seconds until you feel pain, (get it out after that) now you have felt a low pressure black hole...
Or Give yourself a hikkie
already gotten a few from friends
And says he doesn't have interests makes Shame motion
Hey*!* Not my doppelganger you fool*!*
hmm? i actually dont much have an interest in space anymore, kinda find ti boring
You know what i find weird? The fact that some people have fallen asleep in vr. Like that has to fuck with you to wake up in vr, right?
just back then i wanted to know
dont smack me

Like anyone here done that?
That's why was tricking them into doing so π
@gloomy valve the people I know said it was like sleeping irl, except some said their faces got a little sore
Most have people stick around to make sure theyre ok
Wow thats dedication
-smack-
Yeah im a light sleeper
It's probably like sleeping on a flat and smooth surface
oh its not that bear
As soon as somone mic blasts me id wake up
i sleep on my stomach
I sleep on my side
Too, sometimes, @mighty galleon
try laying on your stomach with a headset on
I would sleep in vr if it didn't rip my sleep away
Lol hello neck injury
lol same here
I already stay up too much on desktop mode
Idk i might try it just to say k did it.
