Usually it's when I'm hanging out with friends

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:25 AM

#

I love the pug. Pug is great. It's the best enviornment to really get someone to show their true colors if you strike them the wrong way

#

They just seem more comfortable to be hostile at a bar, than a box room

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

I mean I'm just honest about a lot of things. If you like say I'm annoying, I'm gonna 100% agree with you, laugh it off, and then promptly get blocked by you

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

The best way to expose every asshole in vrchat, is be a knuckles model but act as you normally would. No memes just you casually talking in a knuckles model

#

Its fool proof. Quite literally

#

I also love how really offended some people get if I mute them as a knuckles

pulsar hamlet Oct 28, 2018, 7:28 AM

#

ah yes modelism. Knuckles I'd give a chance but never a Leprechaun. Never in my life have I met anyone who used the Leprechaun model who wasn't some kind of extreme weirdo

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:29 AM

#

Or russian

#

Hahahahah

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:29 AM

#

I mean either way the whole thing with the Knuckles left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. Sure, I don't really mind if people use a Knuckles avatar, but if they go around clicking or whatever, I'll know they're just trying to beat a dead horse into the ground. Besides, I know there legitimately are people who still use Knuckles unironically... And then there's @fringe cairn who embraces the Knuckles meme but makes amazing avatars with them. No one can be mad at him LOL

ruby burrow Oct 28, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

The worst thing with that Leprechaun model, is that the sodding avatar descriptor is buried somewhere two feet deep into it's skull.

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

I mean

#

My avatar descriptor is always set to 0 on the Z axis

pulsar hamlet Oct 28, 2018, 7:30 AM

oh my god yes, and they have to stand like right in your breathing space to look at you

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

On every avatar

ruby burrow Oct 28, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

Meaning anyone that wears it can't tell how close they are, and always end up trying to shove that giant nose down your throat.

#

It's terrifying.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

People are 100% guilty if they act like an asshole to me as a knuckles model. None of this "oh its left a bad taste in their mouth", i could make the same argument about kannas and kanna gang

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:32 AM

#

I have a joke in my home world where that Leprechaun is on one of the avatar pedestals and when you hover over it, the tooltip just says "The one literally every Russian uses"

#

Now I know that's kind of wrongish to say or whatever

#

But you can't say you don't se a ton of Russians in that.

ruby burrow Oct 28, 2018, 7:32 AM

#

I can't say I really react too differently to a lone knuckles. They're rare these days. Half the time it's just some kid who's really late to the party and has no idea.

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:33 AM

The other half of the time it's Mecha being Mecha lmao

There's also Mr Brunswick. Has a knuckles for a head, but is a class act.

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:34 AM

#

Can I point out by the way that the Knuckles model in the Uganda world has no IK? I have no idea why the person who I'm sure just shoved it into Mixamo or something didn't decide to at least give it dummy finger bones.

#

I haven't met Mr Brunswick

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

I hate it like that too

#

Its not hard to just make dummy bones

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

Slap it into Blender, give it like 3 bones for each hand

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

The sliding thing always pissed me off

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

Boom done

#

I use dummy bones for a lot of Pokemon models honestly

#

I'll use Lurantis as an example if you know what it is

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:36 AM

#

I never watched or played pokemon

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:36 AM

#

Oh uhh

#

Well

#

Idk, like maybe look up what Lurantis is I guess

#

At least what it looks like

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:36 AM

#

I see it yeah

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:37 AM

#

So yea

#

That thing, to get IK, I have an interesting setup for that thing

#

It originally had no shoulder bones, so I just created some and made them REALLY tiny

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:38 AM

#

Hell yeah

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:38 AM

#

There's an Arm, forearm, wrist, and then what the skeleton classifies as a "finger" bone

#

So that's literally what I did. Used it as an index finger. Then I made it a dummy Thumb and Middle Finger.

#

~~I also made its hips thinner but shhhh~~

#

Its legs were like, really far apart

#

Not like it flew off the model or anything

#

I just didn't like how separated they were.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:39 AM

Ive seen some interesting ik rigged models

#

how many of you guys 3d modelled your own characters?

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:43 AM

#

I made a Pokemon Trainer that looked like Shulk from Xenoblade honestly

ruby burrow Oct 28, 2018, 7:43 AM

#

Very few,Yikes, most likely.

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:43 AM

#

Why? Because I was bored to death.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:43 AM

#

I had to make my own recon helmet that looked exactly like halo 5's version

#

Everyone was using halo 4's version

queen mango Oct 28, 2018, 7:43 AM

#

Well, it's okay if it is Hoppou, but a waifu Ghidorah?

#

Uhh... I don't know how to feel about that

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

And if you could tell by my Discord icon, I do make Pokemon trainer models when I feel like it

ruby burrow Oct 28, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

Depending on whether you mean truly modelled from scratch, or just reworking existing assets.

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

I just rework existing assets, like

#

All the time

#

Never made a single polygon in my life emoji

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

Yeah mine was a rework

#

There was like maybe 8 small differences that oddly mattered to me

ruby burrow Oct 28, 2018, 7:45 AM

#

Still a lot of room for skilful work when it comes to merging and customising models, but yeah, true scratch made is very rare.

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

I mean true^

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

Ive only made particles by myself

#

And 2 shaders from scratch

ruby burrow Oct 28, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

The most common scratch made stuff is stuff like simple textureless robots, or vaguely humanoid semi abstract forms.

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

Though I may just be merging parts, actually knowing how to put together Pokemon Trainer parts takes a bit of knowledge, not to mention you're gonna have to texture the things yourself.

#

They come in as white palette bases

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:47 AM

#

I hate that too 😩

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:47 AM

#

I mean I've gotten used to it

#

I have like 7 or 8 trainer models uploaded to my account, and I've made like 6 for other people as well

#

Basically it's like

#

Assembling a TDA model

#

But you have to actually color on it

#

If that makes sense

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:49 AM

#

I had to retexture a high poly zero mech dude from infinity blade

#

That was... pure... aids

umbral nova Oct 28, 2018, 7:49 AM

#

Sounds bad

#

Though I have the luxury of having color masks

#

Not many people really think about using those for custom trainers

#

Or rather

#

I've only seen like 3 other people who even did something

#

They didn't use the masks though

I ported a lot of models from the game in early feburary

#

The ones from models resource had absolutely no finger bones and i was really lazy so i just did the exporting myself

#

Zero mech, the father character, the jester, the god king was my first models ever, and it was beast as hell

#

Infinity blade 3 really dropped the bar so low sadly, its now a forgotten series of games and people only remember the first and kinda the second one

queen mango Oct 28, 2018, 8:23 AM

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

If its to break other rules- Yes ofcours it is
If its for normal use and to just play the game- Nah, they got no way to really track it anyway

#

Change your IP by resetting your router or calling your ISP next time- Also works
But i suggest you always use an VPN if you can because privacy reasons

signal nest Oct 28, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

The only reason why I ask if its against the rules is because I was temp ban for ban evasion and never received any ban before. So I was wondering why I was banned. I emailed the mods and support. I received a reply this morning asking if I use a VPN.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

A lot of VPNs are easily detectable, due to the IPs being listed for known servers, pretty often, really depends on how well known your provider is

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 3:46 PM

^^ the reason why free vpn's are not safe and should not be trusted...

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 3:48 PM

VRChat never added permanent bans, they just ban people for a ridiculously long period of time.

floral aspen Oct 28, 2018, 3:48 PM

Aka still permanent just not displayed right

Steam workshop implementation tho 🤔

Why do peopel always ask for steam workshop which is a offline content manager, while this game doesnt have the content offline.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

opaque hawk Oct 28, 2018, 4:10 PM

Custom scripting used to be a feature a few years ago.
In-app content creation is hard, but Neos VR already does that.
In-game economy is easy, take WoW for example. Also, Ron used to work for Blizzard when they started making WoW.
Open world is the biggest issue it really depends on the engine. Eventually, this might become doable.
PVP/PVE: same as in-game economy.
Commercial activity: they'd need to build as many partnerships as possible with schools, companies, the government, etc. Just like in RPO.
Voice and video calls are definitely possible.
Language filters is something that needs to get worked in the near future.
In-app voice changers aren't as hard to add as you'd think.
Easy access to custom avatars is simple too, especially if you gain ability to create them in VRChat.
Player groups: same as other stuff mentioned in regards to WoW.
Inventories: WoW.
Props: Garry's Mod obviously has it, no big deal.
Achievements. Yeah, actually, no, you're right, maybe that's impossible to add to a Steam game.
Multicore support is going to be hard, but not impossible. They'll definitely need it if they want to upgrade to new Unity versions.
Facial recognition is possible with the right tech, eye trackers would play a big role in this.
Mailbox system is already implemented but they're not allowing players to use.
Automated world ranking is something they've been working on for a very long time, as far as I heard.
Highly improved performance requires tons of optimization updates.
Finally, producing content without any third-party software is a challenging thing to add as a feature, but it is possible.

I used to wear blue suit on it.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

I could easily say im color blind.. but nah.. i didnt know 😃

#

You always remind me of a Final fantasy VII character for some reason..

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 5:04 PM

#

Did they have suits in FFVII?

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 5:04 PM

#

Those who worked for shinra did yes.

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 5:05 PM

Oh yeah, I see.

is it against TOS to play on more than 1 account?

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

Only if you're banned.

velvet quarry Oct 28, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

Having multiple accounts is fine.

#

A lot of people tend to have extra accounts for recording and such.

tacit plank Oct 28, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

Pun demon you're simplifying things

#

The other companies you names has had bigger budgets, and they've also have loads of issues with their features

#

In gmod, if you spawn 3 chairs within about 100ms, the server will die. That's how impressive the game engine is

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

All I'm saying is, VRChat can't afford becoming the OASIS.

#

If some other game manages to pull it off faster than VRChat, I'll switch to a different game/app in no time, but we can't be certain of anything at this point.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:00 PM

#

Same

#

VRChat has a lot of potential, but potential doesn't mean anything if they don't take advantage of that

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

It's anyone's game for now for who it'll be that takes the VR crown. VRChat is just the best example of making people say the words "Ready Player One" and "Oasis" for now.

neon flume Oct 28, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

VRChat does have a bit of a head start with user created content though. The community has learned and set themselves up to work with unity and VRChat's SDK which is a bit of a time investment into the platform. Unless a potential competitor uses similar workflows, toolkits, or has a drastically simpler way of creating content I think VRChat will have a good chance of keeping their lead. Improved SDK functionality like through Udon would just further that kind of platform lock in.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:19 PM

#

One of vrchat's biggest pluses is the ability to use almost any outside model. That is something that other games with built in character creators can't really compete against imo

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

I feel like that's going to become the norm.

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

Honestly, now that I'm used to it, I don't have anything against user-generated content, even though I find the fact that over 80% of VRC avatars are anime characters absolutely disgusting. What bothers me instead is that there's no transparency on what's inside developers' heads.

odd lava Oct 28, 2018, 7:23 PM

#

I find the fact that other 20% of avatars are not anime absolutely disgusting 😂

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:24 PM

#

Then why not call it AnimeChat?

odd lava Oct 28, 2018, 7:24 PM

#

Yeah right ?

#

😄

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:26 PM

#

Anime faces are so much easier to make holy shit.

#

I would've enjoyed some cartoon styles from different shows though. Like that French animation Wakfu. That style is beast.

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:28 PM

#

Yeah, sadly, not as many people are interested in making something original. In my opinion, anime isn't the problem. I mean, I don't like the majority of anime as much as many others, but the big reason behind this is either lack of imagination, or lack of good taste, which is why we have to deal with 50% of avatars looking almost exactly the same but with different assets.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:28 PM

#

I try to use fairly unique looking ones myself

#

usually characters from games I play

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:29 PM

#

Convenience also plays a big part. Most people with the skill to make stuff like this, usually has bills to pay and/or places to be.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:29 PM

right now mine is some ghost coyote thing I found in a world since ghosts are spooky and it's less than a week to halloween

meager solstice Oct 28, 2018, 7:29 PM

#

I’ve used the same base model since I started vrc, probably won’t ever change either

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:30 PM

#

Just consider a possibility that VRChat will resign from being a non-profitable organization and start something that would bring profit so we'll have to get rid of all copyrighted content.

tacit plank Oct 28, 2018, 7:30 PM

#

The best thing about VRChat is custom worlds and avatars

odd lava Oct 28, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

Actually you would not have to because it is UGC

tacit plank Oct 28, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

Companies are little bitches who're scared of anything user created. They will rather limit functionality than give users power over anything.
VRChat is different

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

People would definitely make cheap anime models for people to get access to for like, $5.

#

So I 100% don't see anime ever disappearing.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

VRChat literally gives the users max freedom
if you can put it in Unity you can almost certainly put it in VRChat

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

I think it's more the problem that making original stuff is ballshard and not everyone wants to spend money

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

When I asked what's the main reason why they don't make any profit with VRC, someone said it's because of copyrighted stuff.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

(if it's sfw, obviously)

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

Also that's not how copyright works

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

Just saying what I was told.

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

Asking as they do not directly claim or sell the copyrighted materials they are ayowkay

#

Else yt can't excist
Twitch could not and so on

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

One of the best examples would be YouTube.

#

Yeah.

odd lava Oct 28, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

Workshop stuff on steam have copyrighted stuff, it even should not be problem on consoles

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

@odd lava those are technically against the rules

#

But the content owner has to put in a claim for it to be removed

#

What often doesn't happen as well... It's hard to find

odd lava Oct 28, 2018, 7:34 PM

In a case of PC gaming or consoles

there are many examples

I dont know if I did

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:43 PM

Personally, I don't think you got kicked.

how can you not know if you left by yourself ?

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

But that is my personal opinion based on nothing I could share with you.

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

I just disappeared from the discord after put my phone on my clip holder lol

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

When exactly did you "disappear" from this server?

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Like 5-10 mins ago after I posted a question to the admins about something to do with promoting vrchat through my website

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

Ah, yeah, if you pinged an admin and there was no emergency, you definitely got kicked.

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

As someone that's promoting or wanting to promote something I need to have permission

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

You can check the #rules yourself. And please don't use the R-word.

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

If you use pings the way you're not meant to, and not following the rules, then it makes total sense.

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

-_- wow

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

Rule 23, to be exact.

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

Again just wow

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

wait wtf

#

that rule 23 is new

#

when was this added ?

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

But what ever.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

it's not a shocking rule
admins don't want to be pinged for stuff that doesn't need their immediate attention
don't get all mad that a rule like that exists in a server with literally thousands of users

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

This Discord is not just a regular chatroom.

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

Probably after it became necessary. The last rules in a rule list is usually added by necessity. Dunno when it was though.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

you probably don't need permission for that anyways
it's not a sponsor, it's just you saying you like the game and others should play it

#

he doe

#

sif he want to promote anything

#

there is a #shameless-self-promotion for streams usually

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

Ok and again asking premissions to promote the game via new website

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

Yeah.

warm token Oct 28, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

And that's where I asked them at

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

but you pinged them for non-emergency apparently

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

The right place, but it was just the ping that got 'em irked.

fleet ice Oct 28, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

is currently the mirror broken? sometimes, depends on the avatar, the mirrors have weird effects on it

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

Or, if you have Speech: 100, you can slide your links into casual conversations in #general-media. But this secret technique requires more than that.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

and if you fail it can usually result in a kick or warning

stray jay Oct 28, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

Make them ask for your stream. Make them crave your stream!

north axle Oct 28, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

Streams are different.

#

If it's not a meme or video that's just a couple minutes long, promoting it may be harder.

#

Also, yeah, playing the "succeed or get kicked" game reminds me of a regular The Elder Scrolls experience when you have to talk to a guard.

#

VRChat is so unoptimized you may not have to worry about it.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

vrchat is mostly CPU

#

you need at least a 970 or 1060 for VR tho

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

I wonder if the new steam vr update will drop those requirements significantly though

#

it's in beta atm

#

it's called motion smoothing and lets the game synthesize 2-3 frames per frame, so it's a bit better than even asynchronous reprojection

mighty flume Oct 28, 2018, 8:53 PM

There plenty of low end gpu you can use with vrc alot of amd gpu

But it's not recommended

rigid crescent Oct 28, 2018, 9:01 PM

because that's the downside to playing with no HUD. You don't know if you got an invite or friend request or vote kick shows up.

Nothing annoying hopefully

queen mango Oct 28, 2018, 9:04 PM

I started actually understanding shaders when I did my own geometry thing and realized the order in which the functions are called

Don't know jack about surface shaders or node shading though

But I heard surface is only worth learning for PBR shaders like Standard

tidal aspen Oct 28, 2018, 10:30 PM

oh yeah understanding how the functions pass the info is important too

surface shaders just takes a lot of overhead off

you only really need to focus on the surface function unless you want to add things

median basalt Oct 28, 2018, 10:39 PM

#

I never tried surface

#

I think it's easier for me to grasp vertex and frag

tidal aspen Oct 28, 2018, 10:41 PM

#

surface is pretty like frag since you don't really need to set anything up with the vertices and such

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:41 PM

#

a surface shader is a shader where unity does all the lighting and material stuff for you and you can mess with the material a little

#

in a fragment shader you will have to do all of that yourself

sullen escarp Oct 28, 2018, 10:42 PM

#

i don't think i've ever touched a surface shader, always just did the vertex/geom/frag shaders by hand

tidal aspen Oct 28, 2018, 10:43 PM

#

you can also set up a vert function and such, but at that point might as well do a vert/frag shader

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:43 PM

#

if you want unity lighting, you pretty much need to do a surface shader

sullen escarp Oct 28, 2018, 10:44 PM

#

nah, there's a bunch of nice lighting functions in unity cgincs

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:44 PM

#

or write 16 differen fragment shaders yourself each time for different lighting modes

sullen escarp Oct 28, 2018, 10:45 PM

#

wish they had more documentation on library functions tho, there's a lot of stuff you have to just dig through unity source code for

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

yeah half of the helpers are not in any manual

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 10:47 PM

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:47 PM

looking at the sources for standard and legacy shaders is not really very enlightening

tidal aspen Oct 28, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

I tried helping a friend with modifying the terrain shader

#

It's a huge mess

#

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

terrain is a huge mess, they never figured out how to do proper sorting

#

and the billboards are useless in vr

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 10:52 PM

I was wondering if there was a way to fix them for VR my world uses a ton of terrain plants

Im from EU, is there any way to like reduce ping to the server? i always have a 200 ping... its horrible :/

use mesh fans instead of billboards works too

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 10:55 PM

@vocal shard create a new public instance yourself. As the owner you will have 0 ping

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 10:56 PM

#

As I understand how it works owner is host and server sync

#

Might be wrong

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:57 PM

#

that's not how it works, the instance is not running on your own computer

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

That’s new info to me

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

i wish vrchat had eu servers

#

the only time it's running on your computer is when you test a local build

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

I see. I might have misunderstood how it was explained. I was informed VRChat is largely client side as far as the game scene goes with owner being master sync

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

ah okay, I think what they mean is most of what you see is running locally, like physics etc

#

and some objects are network synced/buffered but you're essentially running your own world with it's own local physics etc

#

particles etc etc

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

Yes. Which is why I assumed if you were the instance owner you’d have better ping (like chasing people down in murder)

worldly comet Oct 28, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

as a EU player, I get pretty consistently around 170-200 ping regardless of who owns the instance (even when I own it I'm getting that kind of ping). If the ping was truly bound to the instance owners internet then you'd see WAY more latency related lag then you currently do.

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 11:02 PM

#

yes, us EU players are screwed

#

never have ping under 170

#

even though they use AWS cloud services ._.

#

me2, always 180ping, i dont know why they wont get EU servers, maybe too expensive since its f2p

#

well they use a global cloud delivery system ...

#

but some crucial connections are obviously not made in EU terrotory

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 11:03 PM

I dont see why its a big problem though-

How can I ERP with 200 ping :(

sullen escarp Oct 28, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

slowly

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

Should still work as most of that stuff gets calculated client side

#

and then send towards the server that ya got it

#

Worse that happens is that for some it looked like it passed but it didnt

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 11:05 PM

#

the delay back and forth makes it pretty much impossible to catch

languid beacon Oct 28, 2018, 11:06 PM

#

@umbral reef murder is the first world I’ve seen that makes bad ping a problem since you can’t stab people running away from you since they are actually much farther ahead

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 11:06 PM

#

you can only stab people in murder by flailing your knife like a madman 😄

worldly comet Oct 28, 2018, 11:06 PM

#

it's not that it is a "big problem", it's more of an annoyance when everything is a tiny bit delayed.

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 11:06 PM

#

I have noticed that though 🤔

#

didnt think about that one

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 11:06 PM

just makes action games impossible for EU

cold front is doable ... but you need to lead everything

worldly comet Oct 28, 2018, 11:08 PM

#

well, we weren't saying we were the only ones or that we had it worse, we just pointed out that we have a high ping and wish something was done about it 😛

#

I know an aussie in game who runs around with like 700-800 ping

#

so yeah, he has it way worse off

vocal shard Oct 28, 2018, 11:08 PM

#

this ^ my connection is great ... I play overwatch on NA servers with half the ping

#

whatever the vrc AWS setup is, my ping is never below 170 and it's painful

umbral reef Oct 28, 2018, 11:09 PM

OW has an complex AF and expensive AF server system set up for each region... And it even does calculation to predict stuff to help with ping

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

you already asked that

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 1:13 AM

#

There's no way for us to know really. We could say, "Maybe you get blocked a lot?" or something, but neither know if that's the case nor if it even actually effects the trust score.

#

Any guesses we could make would only be speculation both about you and about how the system even works.

#

Known and trusted nuisances? I've never seen that.

#

Didn't know it worked like that.

#

Although chances are, it's simply because they were spamming irritating effects, or possibly crashing people.

#

The few players I've seen marked nuisance have always been visitors using something like a Cory in the House avatar, or just one of the more douchey looking default avs, whilst also blaring loud distorted music through their microphone or such.

#

I only had to enable their stuff for about 10 seconds to confirm they deserved the title. Was kinda satisfying to see the system working well in that regard.

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 1:35 AM

#

I've met one nuisance who had the sound of a loud fan or something similar in the background of their mic. I tried to introduce them to push to talk but they seemed unable to understand me, possibly because of said fan. It's a shame, I think they were trying to interact because they'd approach players and there would be a very faint human voice before they run off again to another player.

meager solstice Oct 29, 2018, 1:36 AM

Never met a nuisance

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 1:38 AM

Why would you completely block everyone from user and below. <_>

I'm confused. If known or trusted users were the ones who crashed you, what has that got to do with vistors/new-users/users? '-'

subtle prawn Oct 29, 2018, 1:50 AM

Newer people being the ones that are nuisance or crashers

#

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 1:52 AM

In my experience, Trusted and Known are where the majority of crashers are at, whilst the lower three ranks are where the majority of trolls and spammers are at.

undone perch Oct 29, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

The main reason to disable player models for the lower ranks:
Ugandan knuckles

subtle prawn Oct 29, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

Nah, Ugandan knuckles are almost extinct

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

Visitors are actually the safest overall, since they can't upload anything nor visit private worlds, so can't have crash avatars, and often haven't yet found which ever avatar worlds have the more annoying avatars.

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 1:54 AM

The worst you usually get from them is someone in that generic beefcake avatar speaking Russian in a vaguely aggressive sounding manner.

Knuckles is an endangered species these days. Anyone still concerned about knuckles must have been asleep for the last 8 months.

they all are, you just hold in in front of you like in Murder

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 1:58 AM

I have a world in my favourites that has a simple city map, and a variety of working guns to use. Pistols, sniper rifle, breach loading shotgun, C4, grenades, etc.

#

Can't remember the name though. It's a weird hard to remember one.

#

Oh, this one definitely isn't keyboard friendly though.

#

You have to do stuff like cycling the bolt on the sniper rifle to reload it after each shot.

#

The most interesting gun map that I know is keyboard friendly, is probably KOTH. The snowy king of the hill map.

#

Although VR users still get an advantage on that one, since they can duel wield.

ruby needle Oct 29, 2018, 2:41 AM

There is reasons why it's limited.
A lot of avatar makers wouldn't like that.

Think of the world as a kind of show room for them.
They show off their avatars and you'll bring new people going there to change to one.

The 3 Favorites are a good compromise for those who cant or dont want to make them their self. Too much and you will have creators complaining.

Dunno where to ask. If my PC doesn't match the req for oculus. Have 950M and have to have 980 in graphic card, do you think it would be alright either way? Or, if not, is Oculus go good and can you put VRChat there?

Oculus Go runs Android, so nope

a 950M might be just about manageable, but I can't promise anything

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 3:04 AM

Yeah the benchmarks for the 950m are not very promising, half the capability of the gtx 1050 which is listed as the minimum for the Oculus Rift. Mobile graphics cards from previous generations just aren't up to the task. ☹

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

980 was the minimum

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 3:06 AM

The minimum has dropped a little bit, the 1050 is cheaper and not as powerful as the 980 actually.

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 3:10 AM

Probably not. You might be able to get an external GPU depending on what laptop you have but I have no idea how well that works with VR.

If you have the space/living situation for it I'd highly recommend building a desktop. You can get a comparable PC for less money with a desktop and it's much easier to upgrade down the road.

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

I run the game on a 960, but M varient cards are DRASTICALLY cut down models of the real thing.

#

For reference, a 960m is roughly equivalent in actual performance to a full version of a 560.

#

If you really must use a laptop to play this game (Or any other VR title), only get one that is using a full sized card. Not a "m" type.

#

Fortunately more and more gaming laptops are actually doing that these days. Used to be almost none, back in the day.

You'll still get thermal throttling on a laptop, and have to pay two or more times as much for the same hardware, but it's doable.

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 3:54 AM

#

@vocal shard You can do it, but it's both way more expensive, and far more finicky.

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 3:54 AM

#

I use rift and vive trackers at the same time, way better than the kinect v2 but there is still some interference between the controllers and the vive pucks.

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 3:55 AM

#

I dont have the best pc and not so much money to spend

queen mango Oct 29, 2018, 3:55 AM

#

I've also heard of another FBT tracking device. I think it's called Nolo VR

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 3:55 AM

#

I have a friend that used to do it in order to use the Rifts controllers, but various updates for either Rift or Steam kept breaking it apparently. He just uses Vive these days, and is waiting for the Knuckles controllers.

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 3:56 AM

#

Do you already have a headset? If not and you want full body just get the vive. It's cheaper in the long run and a better setup.

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 3:56 AM

#

yes I own a rift, since April

#

but I want fbt

modern sand Oct 29, 2018, 3:57 AM

#

@vocal shard Please read the server rules before getting comfortable iris

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 3:57 AM

#

And yeah, the interference is because both systems rely on infrared light in different ways. The Vive lighthouses shine out IR lasers that the pucks are looking for, whilst the Rift controllers shine out IR light that the Rift sensors are looking for.

#

Combined, they both interfere with each other. Definitely not in any drastic way, but still.

neon flume Oct 29, 2018, 3:58 AM

#

If you want more tips or suggestions on setting up, hop over to #full-body-tracking, quite a few of us there have rift vive hybrid setups.

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 3:59 AM

#

You get the pucks being blinded by constant IR light, and the touch controllers washed out and confused by the laser pulses.

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 3:59 AM

#

Oh, right, frog is hate speech. Sorry

#

Thank you very much, for the opinions ^^

ruby burrow Oct 29, 2018, 4:02 AM

#

I look forward to the day there are ten or so different headset options available to consumers, and controllers are no longer specific to any one headset.

#

Sorta like how Paimax and Star-VR are working towards, being cross compatible with Vive where possible.

does anyone know if a fake portal prefab exists for vrchat? I remember seeing the uganda portal in deathrun and assumed it was a fake but im unsure.

#

Need it so i can put a fake portal in my map to prank people hehehe

umbral nova Oct 29, 2018, 4:48 AM

#

The portal in the Deathrun map is real, it just "kills" you before you hit the portal

small wing Oct 29, 2018, 4:48 AM

#

🤔

umbral nova Oct 29, 2018, 4:49 AM

#

Basically you don't "hit" the portals if you aren't actively moving into them

small wing Oct 29, 2018, 4:49 AM

#

so maybe i could do a similar thing with a real portal and a vrc on avatar hit to teleport?

umbral nova Oct 29, 2018, 4:49 AM

#

Probably

small wing Oct 29, 2018, 4:49 AM

#

im just afraid it might put the user into the world instead of actually working as a prank portal

im remaking the vrchat loading screen rn, thats why.

umbral nova Oct 29, 2018, 4:50 AM

#

The bounding box collider for the portal might be a little wonky.

small wing Oct 29, 2018, 4:50 AM

#

gonna put various prank items in there.

#

i think i will try that, just put a massive collider around it so nobody can actually go in it

#

was going to put a portal to the hub or something, but when you enter it it teleports you to a part in the map which is a "ms pain version" of the hub.

So my friends and I were joking around and blocking each other earlier. Now every time we join a world it says we have each other blocked when we don’t anymore so we have to reset it every time we go somewhere new to see each other

I've had that in the past. I can't remember what the fix actually was, but I was able to find it on google without too much searching.
One possible thing to try, is simply unplugging the entire headset and putting it back in.

#

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

my laptop can handle it i used that for 6 months before it went to shit and had to reformat

You might be able to run it sometime in the future. Everything wears down eventually, so start saving some money so that if your pc breaks you can just replace it with a better one.

ugh 5 more minutes

#

so i can get some fooood

#

I've tried the game on a laptop with a 960m and tbh it's pretty playable

floral aspen Oct 29, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

The game isn't super demanding in desktop mode if you have halfway decent specs

#

different story in VR though

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

No, i am talking about vr

#

So long as you stay out of the pug and other areas known to tank performance with high player counts

#

Of course, that's just for me

rigid crescent Oct 29, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

i mean any map with high player counts will do it

floral aspen Oct 29, 2018, 9:42 PM

rigid crescent Oct 29, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

player count is what typically kills, not maps

floral aspen Oct 29, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

Even if you have a completely overkill rig, you'll still lag with even a medium sized group of players

rigid crescent Oct 29, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

and it's not even player count, it's really more like dynamic bone/collider count. You can most likely run a room with 20+ just fine if they don't have excessive amounts

Low performance worlds do contribute, but if optimised correctly can easily handle upside of 30 users.

rigid crescent Oct 29, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

The downside is "users" seems to refer more to "users with somewhat optimized avatars"

#

not just your 25 buddies with custom avatars

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

I do recognize that some people are way more vulnerable to motion sickness and headaches from vr that isn't at a constant 90 FPS

rough pulsar Oct 29, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

Assuming you don't have people who put dynamic bone on 4000 skirt bones that are constantly shoved up against DB colliders.

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

So for those people yeah a better rig is a necessity

floral aspen Oct 29, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

luckily I'm not one of those people. I can handle sub 30 fps in VR just fine

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

I tend to float around 60 and it doesn't bother me

rigid crescent Oct 29, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

I don't dip below 45 usually, under that is annoying.

modern sand Oct 29, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

Sub 20 is when everyone gives up

floral aspen Oct 29, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

I've found that the more I play in VR, the more it feels... normal I guess?

rigid crescent Oct 29, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

but usually that only happens towards the later half of a huge session

floral aspen Oct 29, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

and yeah, sub 20 isn't even video anymore, it's a slideshow

rough pulsar Oct 29, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

Yeah, even with the SteamVR Beta's Frame Smoothing, under 20fps gets weird

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

getting really low framerates in vr still feels more reponsive than on desktop tbh

#

At least in vr you have your own sense of orientation independent of the game to rely on if things get choppy

modern sand Oct 29, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

Honestly i can't even tell the difference between 45 and 90 anymore because reprojection is always on, and i wouldn't even be aware of it

#

60 is the new 90

rough pulsar Oct 29, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

With framesmoothing under 20fps starts to turn into this

It's awesome

same Ruubick

#

I mean, if I really pay attention I can, but if I'm just chilling with friends I don't notice it

vocal shard Oct 29, 2018, 9:46 PM

#

Yeah

#

I just need to turn it off for beatsaber

If it’s over 45 I’m generally pretty happy. Though when it’s in my world I feel like its unacceptable
