#

Yeah, 45 and 90 are about the same for me in most situations

#

if im actively moving around i can notice it, but not by much

vocal shard
#

But yeah for me vrchat in vr on a 960m is enjoyable

rough pulsar
#

I'm amazed a 960m can even handle VR at all

vocal shard
#

But being limited to a handful of low performance-cost games for vr kinda makes vr less worth it

#

I mean back when the oculus SDKs came out, people were playing vr on even weaker cards

#

Vr has just gotten more demanding overall since

floral aspen
#

I can't wait for the native Oculus client to come back

vocal shard
#

Especially with people getting motion sickness

opaque hawk
#

I run vr in a 1050ti, it works surprisingly well.

vocal shard
#

Necessitating 90fps

#

I just find it kinda funny now looking back at people being so insistent on requiring "at least a 1060" or else you'll fucking die

rough pulsar
#

What I find odd is that they say low framerates cause motion sickness, whereas they just give me a headache.

vocal shard
#

I guess it has different effects on people

#

Headaches are the most common one i think

#

I haven't personally heard any cases of nausea

opaque hawk
#

I used to get motion sickness, I treated myself with cheap ginger beer until I got used to it

rough pulsar
#

The only nauseating effect in VR for me is smooth turning.
Sliding did briefly but I adjusted to that pretty quick, but turning is always 9 seconds away from a horrid sensation in my innards.

opaque hawk
#

Same I cannot do smooth turning

rough pulsar
#

And funnily enough it's only around my vertical axis.
Roll or pitch, no problem. Spin me right round baby.
Yaw? Not a hope 🤢

floral aspen
#

When I first started using my rift a few things made me motion sick, but after that, nothing. I'm pretty much immune to it now

neon flume
#

Smooth turn is fine for me* as long as I don’t start turning irl at the same time. I tried walking in circles while counter rotating in VR and ended up on the floor after only a few revolutions.

vocal shard
#

Smooth turning has never bothered me, it just makes me lose my balance a little if I'm turning irl at the same time

rough pulsar
#

One thing I noticed back when I used AltspaceVR a lot, the majority of the rift users used (and liked) the smooth turning there and were also playing in seated mode.
Makes me wonder if being seated gave extra grounding to prevent the visual-vestibular disconnect.

vocal shard
#

I think so

floral aspen
#

In fact as time has gone on I've been feeling less immersed. Stuff like looking over the edge of a tall building and flying used to give me a real sense of vertigo, like I was about to fall or something. Looking at big things used to give this overwhelming sense of scale. Now it all feels normal

vocal shard
#

Perhaps people get used to that disconnect from being seated in vehicles

#

And same tidus

rough pulsar
#

Yeah, since it's expected that we have seats in moving things, whereas it's rare to stand on moving things.

vocal shard
#

Though that could just be from messing with my ipd configuration too often

#

I need to get back into elite dangerous but in vr

#

I tried it once and died in a white dwarf

#

Shit was terrifying but beautiful

rough pulsar
#

I still get a good feeling of scale of things in VR.
I do wonder if that's at all related to the fact I also use an avatar close to my physical size (and thus ipd) in vrchat

vocal shard
#

Hmm

#

Now that i think about it i think weird proportions might be one thing interfering with my sense of scale in vrchat

#

Anime avatars tend to have longer than normal legs so depending on how the game determines ipd scaling it might add to the disconnect by making your point of view appear too high

#

Is the ipd scaling based off of the overall height or arm length?

rough pulsar
#

More often than not the world appears much larger whenever I try an anime avatar

#

and ipd is a combination of your height as set in the settings and the avatar's height, which is likely related to the armspan.

vocal shard
#

I see

floral aspen
#

I use an avatar that's slightly taller than me IRL but not enough to make a huge difference

opaque hawk
#

I noticed that most avatars are actually scaled well below the recommended size

rough pulsar
#

Same, there's about 10cm difference between me and my avatar.

safe prism
#

i like being smol and vrc lets me be smol

rough pulsar
#

It's kinda annoying having to bend down for more than half the userbase

vocal shard
#

My height in the settings isn't the same as my irl height since my point of view ends up too high or low

floral aspen
#

lol I know that feel Gallium

rough pulsar
#

Scratch that, it's very annoying. I hate looking down at people so I always try to get on their level.

safe prism
#

i'm too tall irl so i just be a foot or two shorter

vocal shard
#

Relative to the avatar's actual face

opaque hawk
#

Like most of my avatars are actually around 4’6” to 5’5”in height

vocal shard
#

Which I've found strange but it's somehow related to the longer legs thing

#

I believe

#

So i have to lower that setting in order to get my eyes aligned with the avatar's

opaque hawk
#

Maybe we need a blender tutorial on how to shrink legs lol

vocal shard
#

I mean i know how to do it, i just don't bother

safe prism
#

kung's fbt one is basically that

vocal shard
#

And there is such a tutorial but aimed at fbt users

rough pulsar
#

I disagree. Leg scaling isn't even close to complex enough to need a tutorial.

rigid crescent
#

there's a guide for that,, a few

opaque hawk
#

It was a joke

rough pulsar
#

I've just woke up and my brain ain't doing the do

safe prism
#

i didn't see the joke either

neon flume
#

I wonder if the average avatar height has dropped over time like a kind of cuteness arms race. Ooka Mikos seem to be a lot shorter now than they were several months ago. Would be fun if we had the data to graph that out.

vocal shard
#

My brain never does regardless of wokeness

floral aspen
#

your brain don't think it be like it is
but it do

safe prism
#

maybe i have awwootism

rough pulsar
#

don't judge me 😀

vocal shard
#

too late

safe prism
#

owo

vocal shard
#

i already judged you

#

pretty harshly too

opaque hawk
#

No judgment here

vocal shard
#

wow rude

#

i have uwutism

#

opaque hawk
#

@neon flume I have the same theory, the race for head pats

queen mango
#

Am I the only one with nyaatism?

safe prism

oh

i didn't think that was a possible one

#

because that's basically me irl

ivory tendon
#

heyy so i jsut got mixed reality

#

and i would like to know how to unbend my arms?

#

like i will stretch them out but they stay bent

safe prism
#

in-game player height would need to be adjusted

plush osprey
#

Once thats done then try just changing seated play and standing till ur arms are straight

ivory tendon
#

ok

#

so how tall would i need to set it for being 5 7

#

becuase when i set it to 5 7 it makes me extremely tall

vocal shard
#

Don't set it to your real height. Need to play around with it

#

Probably closer to your model height

ivory tendon
#

alrighty ill mess around with it

vocal shard
#

I'm 5'7 but in game it's set to 5'2

ivory tendon
#

ok thank you

ruby burrow
#

I've never understood this thing personally. I've always had my user height set to my exact actual height, and never had issues with incorrect eye placement on any avatar.

#

But I often hear of people that do. And it leaves me wondering what the difference is that causes it.

neon flume
#

It depends on the model too. You might need to adjust if you switch to a model that has very different proportions.

I've never had to adjust it beyond my actual height either, maybe it's our real life height or proportions?

ruby burrow
#

Nah, I've never ever had to switch it based on model either, and I've got plenty of unconventionally proportioned ones.

#

I'm 6'1 myself, but unless someone is exceptionally tall or short, I struggle to imagine that causing it.

vocal shard
#

Its an insult to be like, 6'7 and be a knuckles model. Which is barely scraping 1 foot XD

ruby burrow
#

Hmm. What method does WMR use to measure the playspace floor position?

#

Although then again, one of my friends claims to have the same issue and he's on Oculus, so that's probably not it either.

#

I feel it definitely shouldn't be model height related, since I've got four variants of the same model at 6 inches, 5 foot, 9 foot, and 24 foot tall. All exactly the same in terms of eye level.

neon flume
#

Proportions might have an affect though right? A model with longer arms relative to their torso height might have more of that bending issue.

vocal shard
#

It's dependant on the model. Like if I make my setting my real height, the hands end up looking massive and bigger than my real hands

ruby burrow
#

Strange proportions certainly move my play space floor around, but I've never had them move the view position away from where the avatar descriptor was set.

#

Proportions also effect your virtual IPD. But shouldn't move it outside of the head.

vocal shard
#

It never changes the view point...

ruby burrow
#

Oh, sorry then. I've heard people claiming it does for them.

#

I didn't mean to mix up what you were saying.

#

Still though, I've never had that myself. It's always automatically scaled things to feel correct.

vocal shard
#

It's really dependant on the model it seems. Like if I use one of the x/y bots, it needs to be my real height. But if it's one like a model using a Rin base, it need to lower it.

ruby burrow
#

That's why I want to know what's causing this difference for different players. Since that's just not been the case for me. ._.

#

If I ever change my height setting, it starts to mess things up pretty quickly.

#

I end up either automatically squatting, or stuck on tip toes.

rough pulsar
#

If Y-bot works fine but you have to do werid shit for your own avatar, your own avatar is wrong somehow.

vocal shard
#

It's not just "my" avatar. Any world avatar that isn't the real proportions sometimes needs a tweek in height

#

From my experience

#

Could be a wmr thing. Idk

rough pulsar
#

That's what I mean. It's a proportion thing and 99% of MMD-like models have weird proportions that in the context of their art style look good, but in the real world are weird as fuck.

ruby burrow
#

The most I've ever messed with the height setting, is stuff like adding or subtracting an inch or two, just as a temporary fix for tip toeing when standing normally. But I go fix that on the avatar later, rather than keeping it.

rough pulsar
#

The tiptoe issue is with how looking down slightly pulls your avatar up by the head.
Find a mirror, and looking straight at it set your height so you're flat footed on the ground.
Then look at the floor, you'll go tiptoe.

ruby burrow
#

For some MMD models from avatar worlds, it's very common for me to find my playspace floor displaying as being a foot or more above the actual ground due to the long legs, but the view scale has still been fine.

#

I just end up feeling like a normally scaled torso on top of overly long legs, as is fair to expect.

vocal shard
#

View is fine ...

#

To answer your earlier question though... To set wmr floor height, we set the controller on the ground and it brings it up to the bottom of the ring

ruby burrow
#

Same as the others then.

Anyone know why some of my friends don’t appear on my friends list until I join their world? I know they haven’t un-friended me or blocked me, they just don’t appear until I join a world their in, then it’s fine for the rest of the session

haughty gazelle

The friends list has always been buggy

#

Never heard of that specifically

maybe update vrchat

haughty gazelle

They wouldn't see them at all if it wasn't updated

It’s been like this for awhile, gone through multiple updates before today and it’s still bugged. I only noticed today though a second friend it occurs with, now I’m wondering how many of them it actually happens to

Thanks

sinful forum
#

They ever going to add the seats back for avatars?

#

Be neat if they allowed us to pick other players up when ever we want, All they need to do is turn something off in the safety thing so if you didnt want to be picked up :o

tranquil perch
#

from what ive heard yes. Some kinks needed worked out on it

#

i heard ron say something before about how they were smothing out how chairs reaction motion wise

upper fox
#

what's better for vrchat, amd or nvidia?

vocal shard
#

When it come to vr, Nvidia usually has better support for vr devices

quartz osprey
#

Definitely nvidia as AMD offsets alot on Cpu for 2d graphical calculations (especially if it is not an AMD processor) and VRC already needs as much CPU power as it can get its hands on

vocal shard
#

I much prefer my Ryzen 4.1ghz 16 thread thanks.

safe prism
#

i'll have you know all graphics are 2d

queen mango
#

That doesn't sound too good, Omega

#

VRChat ain't known for wonderful usage of multiple cores.

vocal shard
#

@queen mango I've been on this app since it begun, and never had an issue once. Infact i spent half of my time in my past in discord helping others with their issues.. never coming across one i couldn't sort myself. So you could simply put it down to level of experience rather than blaming vrchat for not using multiple cores.

queen mango
#

I see.

#

Though it may be the issue of processing animations of numerous avatars in a single session

vocal shard
#

We tested this ages ago.. its to do with avatars on the processor in a whole yeah.. we had over 100 people to the room with avatars off, all you saw was name plates, all ran fine until avatars was re-enabled per person

#

and as it did so did people's processors start to raise.

#

I use a default avatar myself and i design maps that are not render heavy so i have no draw calls.. no shadows no reflections etc, i build maps based on my experience with source engine's gmod back in the day, and i never get issues neither have my maps that have gone public. For the most part it is aimed at each individual players specs because some are perfectly fine others complain and yet they seriously are lacking the power if they cant render my worlds.

#

Most of the time you can blame unity's physics engine or unity's particles not so much animations.. as if you run profiler and check you will notice that physics aka your processor does some serious work and that does cause half the issues.. mesh colliders being your worst enemy.

median basalt
#

@vocal shard that doesn't mean the avatars are to blame

#

If you have avatars turned off entirely, that means there is no IK either

#

And that is a pretty CPU-heavy thing

#

You absolutely can blame this on the game

#

A much fairer comparison is having a room full of people with humanoid avatars

#

1 material, around 8k polys

vocal shard
#

Im blaming it on peoples hardware or lack of.

#

However collider issues are a major concern.

median basalt
#

The hardware has plenty of capability. VRC is just using 25% of my hardware.

#

And frankly, this whole "it's particles" thing makes me think you don't really know what causes the most impact

#

Disabling particles in large lobbies will usually not even make a difference

#

As far as things users can control, it's 99% drawcalls and dynamic bones.

#

As for the things we can't control, it's the game's IK on humanoid avatars and the networking and voice.

vocal shard
#

All i know is your in defense 24/7 with anyone who talks against particles and avatars in a whole, and yet the test proved that its avatars what are responsible for the lag people get on a map.. the more people with avatars on the more the lag starts kicking in. However.. with a high end cpu this isnt an issue..

median basalt
#

Yeah but it's still the game's fault

#

The largest issue is in the game's IK, which users have no control over

vocal shard
#

Depends, if on VR or desktop

median basalt
#

And is entirely managed by the game

#

It's not correct to say "it's the avatars"

vocal shard
#

My fps dies in VR, but I get good fps in desktop

quartz basin
#

A high-end CPU for VRchat would be one core clocked to 6GHz.

rigid crescent
#

everyone gets good fps in desktop

median basalt
#

The game can only use one core effectively, that is indeed to blame on the game

rigid crescent
#

thats not even a discussion tbh

#

the reasons avatars are "to blame" is because of the way the game is. if it wasn't like that, which everyone knows is flawed, that wouldn't be an issue

quartz basin
#

Alot of Avatar game issues would be fixed by implementing VRM support.

north axle
#

The irony is rich.

median basalt
#

@quartz basin that is true

vocal shard
#

I understand your parting up IK and avatars because blaming the avatars its not so much them as an option for ik on them.. however lets not forget the assholes of vrchat that are still running more than 20k poly's people running round with a few hundred k, doesnt do anyone any favors.

median basalt
#

I wish they would get on that

#

VRM support would let them conquer a large part of the asian market too

#

@vocal shard see, you just proved my point

quartz basin
#

Polys aren't even performance hungry.

median basalt
#

Polycount has almost zero impact

#

Your "tests" are from a time when we thought 40k polys would be somewhat laggy

vocal shard
#

all i know is i could crash you with polly's just as much as particles.

median basalt
#

Maybe you should get off your high horse since you clearly keep blaming the wrong things for the performance issues.

#

You can crash anyone with anything.

#

I bet I could crash people with enough audio sources

#

If Unity let me

rigid crescent
#

you can

vocal shard
#

There's a reason there is a poly restriction.. and people who break it should be banned no questions.

quartz basin
#

I can crash you in real life by giving you a seizure attack.

rigid crescent
#

Omega, if everyone who breaks it was banned, the game would die. period.

median basalt
#

@vocal shard the poly restriction is from a time where people thought it mattered

rigid crescent
#

there's no getting around that. the game would be over and most likely never recover

median basalt
#

Materials and dynamic bone matters a lot more

#

The 20k limit is completely arbitrary

rigid crescent
#

Materials, Bones, Colliders. THese are what need to be restricted.

median basalt
#

Yep

rigid crescent
#

The poly count has very, very little impact, to a certain point obviously

vocal shard
#

That's entirely your opinion.. i believe that the development aspect of things would bennefit massively from having straight forward users.

median basalt
#

I think dynamic bones should be counted with a points system

quartz basin
#

Alrighty, everyone set your poly count to 20k but add atleast 200 bones to it.

rigid crescent
#

sounds good to me

#

No lag there, right?

#

To be honest, a lot of these un-merged skirts are looking at least 80 lol

median basalt
#

Every bone affected by a dynamic bone script is 1 point. +1 point for every bone that is reacting to a collider, too. Final point count is also divided by a certain value depending on the update rate. Lower update rates means more leniency

#

And then put like a 50 point max

#

Not sure how feasible that is

quartz basin
#

50 bones? How is that achievable?

median basalt
#

Uhm

#

I really hope yours are not over 50 bones

rigid crescent
#

By merging bone weights...

median basalt
#

Because that is a ton already

quartz basin
#

Hahahaha, I would never

#

In my life

vocal shard
#

hmm.. gives me an idea actualy..

rigid crescent
#

aka part of the problem

quartz basin
#

Have less than 50 bones

rigid crescent
#

The collider thing can't really be tested. In unity, you're usually not colliding

#

50 dynamic bones, not bone-bones

quartz basin
#

My skirt alone already has more~

rigid crescent
#

Eh, part of the problem then

haughty gazelle
#

anyone know why I'm suddenly getting 10 fps when I launch the game?

quartz basin
#

Legally abusing the system.

median basalt
#

Dynamic bone matters more than people think

#

I recently started manually weight painting the skirt to a handful of bones instead

rigid crescent
#

The thing is people aren't even told about how this stuff matters. Tupper can meme with you all day long about merging your bone weights, but there's very little official info about optimization, why it matters, effects, etc

vocal shard
#

What would happen if the bones physics were derives from using unity's ball joint? i dont even know if thats a possibility but.. might be interesting

median basalt
#

And it makes colliders look a lot better too

dapper stump
#

Specially cloth

median basalt
#

They actually work

quartz basin
#

I already had a heated discussion here about optimizing your model. It might be true and all but as long as optimization doesn't become mandatory I don't see a reason to do it

rigid crescent
#

Because it's thoughtful and helps users overall.

#

you're knowingly contributing to a problem that you can easily stop contributing to

median basalt
#

@vocal shard it would be less laggy

#

Dynamic bone is laggy, unity's physics far less so

vocal shard
#

I stick to making maps.. avatars are really ... well.. they need sorting out and thats why i cant be asked.

rigid crescent
#

The one "official" video we have on avatar creation isn't even on the main VRChat youtube (or website, as far as I glanced) so there's no way for most people to even know how/why it matters

quartz basin
#

Or I knowingly support the problem as protest so that the game finally improves performance-wise

median basalt
#

SDK should warn you about multiple meshes, materials, and dynamic bone counts.

rigid crescent
#

the game cant improve performance wise without a huge, unreasonable overhaul

median basalt
#

To set an example

rigid crescent
#

you're protesting a known issue that they want to fix

quartz basin
#

Why would the overhaul be unreasonable?

rigid crescent
#

Just say you're inconsiderate and don't care, it's really that simple. That's how most people are anyway

vocal shard
#

So ball joint rigidbody > Collision continiuos dynamic > kinematic ?

rigid crescent
#

Because it's basically recreating the game from scratch, as far as people have said. So all new testing, all new bugs, etc. It's starting from a little more than zero.

quartz basin
#

You try to teach "manners" to an anonymous crowd of anime lolis.

rigid crescent
#

Recently people have been a lot more aware of optimization, and my friends that make their own avatars have been at least toning down their normal avatars. No one is looking for 100% bone merging, super weight painting, single material no frill avatars

#

But you don't need 50 skirt bones.

twin jacinth
#

It's not teaching manners it's more like being a decent human being helping others and not being selfish

rigid crescent
#

Like I get if you wanna be selfish, but don't try to hide behind some memey cause lol just say you don't care

median basalt
#

My friends have started atlasing their stuff a lot more recently

#

Dynamic bone is still a sore point because it's a lot more work to make it look good

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, I went back and atlased the avatars I still use

quartz basin
#

Decent human beings don't play VRchat were the only "Humor" they have is screaming obnoxiously loud or telling lotsa dick jokes.

rigid crescent
#

there's some I don't use in large rooms obviously, but that's about it.

#

Shows a lot about the company you keep lol

quartz basin
#

Not me. I always have pretty good discussions about propaganda theories and the usual development of the economy under the rule of communism.

median basalt
#

I have versions of some of my avatars without dynamic bone that I'll switch to if things get laggy

vocal shard
#

As for manners.. im mostly always polite but i question everything in life, as you do.. not perfect but i get by lol. as for talking with meme's an all that.. i've never understood it.. and yet i come from the early 80's and been online since i was very young.. i just make for community's until they end up dying and then i leave and end up some place else.. as the story goes.

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, one of mine just has them toned down from 52 to like 16-ish

median basalt
#

Besides, merging just 50% of your skirt bones will also reduce instances of you flashing your panties if you start with the top row

#

Blender automatic weights is usually sufficient for skirts

umbral reef
#

Optimization of reallly bad models also causes lots of fixed problems funny enough most of the time

rigid crescent
#

I wear the JSK with way too many bones and the 32 hair bones when I'm in small rooms with people I know, and the merged one with less than half that in larger boxes and whatnot

umbral reef
#

I seen some insane clipping problems on avatars that could be fixed without a problem if the meshes where combines lmao

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, I genuinely believe they need to just get rid of cloth physics.

#

Just yeet that script altogether

umbral reef
#

Well- Its dope when used right

#

But most dnt so

Tupper: "GUYS JOIN YOUR MESHES"

Devs: "Yeah go ahead use this thing that requires you to not join them"

#

I mean even used correctly, you're stilling sitting on a minimum 2 meshes and 2 colliders, assuming it's on a skirt like it usually is.

#

colliders that are working significantly more than they would with bones

twin jacinth
#

I rarely meet people who is screaming obnoxiously loud or telling lotsa dick jokes
I guess it depends on the worlds you are in but seriously, if i'd estimate the % of people who do that of people i meet i'd say maybe 10, at a max 20% which means an average of 1-2 in a lobby with 10-20 people
not a lot really but then again depends on the person

median basalt
#

A second mesh/material isn't too much extra CPU time

#

Problem is high-poly cloth

rigid crescent
#

on the second mesh or the total avatar?

median basalt
#

An avatar with cloth can still be optimized if the mesh with cloth on it is low-poly

#

That's what I mean

#

A second mesh is really just slight overhead and an extra draw call

rigid crescent
#

Oh, so the more low poly the cloth mesh is, the better it works. Luckily it's a tiny skirt I see them on most of the time

#

not that it means that it's low poly, but I'd assume it's not tragically high

median basalt
#

That "fullbody avatars" world is a pretty bad offender

rigid crescent
#

then again I've had to totally toss out an avatar with an 8k poly skirt

median basalt
#

Cloth, colliders and dynamic bone on everything

rigid crescent
#

yeah, fairly sure the hair is cloth too

median basalt
#

The skirt is OK on those (they're all the same damn model) but the hair is really bad

rigid crescent
#

I understand that cloth can be cool, but I personally think the game overall, performance wise, is better without it

#

but now that everyone is used to it, they're probably afraid of backlash

#

To actually remove it, they might be better off just giving people a month or two of warning instead of just yeeting it one day

umbral reef
#

Well they are not wrong- Im fairly sure we all bet that the avatar community would cry murder

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, it's sad how entitled they can get

umbral reef
#

Well- For plenty of shi they where right to get angry

#

But with some things... Imo not at all

rigid crescent
#

chairs, definitely not worth the shirtstorm lol

#

nor was the crouching

#

cloth would at least be understandable, a lot of people depend on it, especially the full body people

#

but avatars can look just fine with dynamic bones

umbral reef
#

Im still waiting for my limits on not just polygons

#

And the outcry that will happen

quartz basin
#

But that would be pretty ouchy for my 125 dynamic bones, 20 material avatar

#

You cannot do that. That's oppression.

rigid crescent
#

Yeah luckily when you get used to working on avatars it's easy to tell who has way too many dynamic bones, e z avatar block

#

materials are probably second lowest on the lsit of things that matter though

#

we need a dynamic bone limit and just triple the poly limit

#

or whatever you max out mesh splitting at

#

50k isn't bad, I do want to test out a room with avatars that have jsut that some time though

ruby burrow
#

Can also help to knock down the refresh rate of dynamic bones to 45 fps.

#

Is the top frame rate most people end up at, even in smaller populations, and looks plenty smooth still.

rigid crescent
#

oh it's 60 isn't it?

ruby burrow
#

By default yes.

umbral reef
#

Doesnt VRC limit it to 30 by default already on upload?

ruby burrow
#

Does it? xD

rigid crescent
#

i've heard other numbers, so I'm not sure

ruby burrow
#

Well if so scratch what I just said then I guess.

median basalt
#

It's not limited to 30

rigid crescent
#

some transparency on stuff like this would be nice, but we can't even get a straight answer on why the avatar and friends list mess up lol

median basalt
#

I don't know if it's limited or just hard-set

#

Not sure if lower values even work

ruby burrow
#

Wouldn't be impossible to test that at least.

median basalt
#

Also what ever happened to chairs on avatars?

ruby burrow
#

Make an avatar with some kind of duplicated wobble stick, one set to 30 and one to 60. Then see if they separate or not.

rigid crescent
#

probably another thing only mentioned in passing randomly by devs in discord, like a lot of things

median basalt
#

They said it would be "weeks, not months"

#

That was months ago

rigid crescent
#

they said it would be finished, not released :3

#

got eeeeem

median basalt
#

Did they?

rigid crescent
#

nah idk

median basalt
#

I had a screenshot somewhere but I can't find it lol

#

I think it was Ron who popped in here

rigid crescent
#

Honestly that's the problem with giving people timelines

median basalt
#

People really want chairs on avatars because it'll be the first thing they do for avatar makers in a very long time

rigid crescent
#

i mean you're not chimping out about it, but plenty of people like to complain when things fall through.

median basalt
#

Yeah, it sucks but it's not like they're holding it back on purpose

quartz basin
#

Maybe they are.

rigid crescent
#

"8000 likes and we bring back chairs"

ruby burrow
#

I'm not super fussed about chairs, but it would certainly be a fun thing to have. I've got that shopping cart model just waiting for it.

ruby needle
#

Unfortunately they come with new abuse possibilities too.

median basalt
#

That was on the old chairs yeah

ruby burrow
#

In the mean time I'll continue to lament having enough time to work on all the other things I want to learn or do.

median basalt
#

The new ones are probably gimped to near uselessness anyway, it's not like it's anything more abusive than what we already have

ruby burrow
#

What were the main issues before, and what issues might still remain?

median basalt
#

One large issue is accidental interaction

#

Another issue is the bugs that were in the chairs, you could lock people in them

#

And break their animator too

#

So they would be T-posing basically

#

That said I hope we still get custom sitting animations

ruby burrow
#

Think it'd be possible to just give them the friends only treatment?

median basalt
#

Nah

#

They should be put into the trust system

#

Let people decide for themselves

#

Same with cameras IMO

#

There's no reason for cameras to be in their current state

#

Where they are only local, but you can exploit them to get them shown to friends

#

Have default trust settings disable chairs on non-friends for all I care though

ruby burrow
#

It would be nice to have those working in a way that didn't result in a dozen awkward friend requests from randoms.

median basalt
#

Yeah

ruby burrow
#

languid beacon
#

The word “cringy” is annoying, it feels exclusively like a teenager thing, not old enough yet to realize life is better when you don’t care about what other people think.

covert linden
#

Thats very true

quartz basin
#

It's the nature of a human being to care what other people think of you.

#

Humans are social beings

languid beacon
#

No it’s natural to care about other people, that’s where empathy comes from. Caring what other people think of you is actually very unnatural and more less a negative quality. It’s where conceited personalities come from.

At a certain age you stop caring what the world thinks of you and you start enjoying yourself. It’s where you grow out of the emo depressive teen/edgelord years.

covert linden
#

I like to think of it as like yeah I could be everyones favourite I could drop my liking for anime and I could be sporty and fit in, but in this reality I truly enjoy what I do and so if I stopped liking what I enjoy then I simply wont be myself

quartz basin
#

If you don't care what other people think of you, you might as well be a self-centered egotiystical brat and you wouldn't know better because you don't care.

covert linden
#

To an extent..

languid beacon
#

Those types of people typically very much care what other people think of them sails

covert linden
#

You shouldnt alter your reality because someone said what you enjoyed was bad

languid beacon

The most self centered people have the biggest egos and are quick to anger when it’s damaged

That's another thing. Caring doesn't mean changing.

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” - CS Lewis

vocal shard
#

i don't care what others think of me 🤷

quartz basin
#

And what does this say? What is chlidish? What is grown up?

covert linden
#

It means that you rid of those sterotypes

#

You exist souly as yourself

quartz basin
#

You can only be yourself if you're Independent.

glossy wharf
#

@languid beacon I mean its funny how you said the word cringy is childish and then you throw out the quote that says having a fear of being childish is childish.

#

Yoinked yourself there buddyo

#

And your behavior also seems like the latter thing in said quote, the "desire to be very grown up".

languid beacon
#

Another good one is “Those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter”

glossy wharf
#

quotes something that shows his own behaviour
gets called out
oh i dont care

languid beacon
#

The key takeaway is the irelevance of other peoples opinions about you, but only when it concerns the subject of what they think of you

covert linden
#

I mean he has a main point that if youre allowing people to control your actions due to sterotypes you adopted then you arent your true self

glossy wharf
covert linden
#

Instagram doesnt have quotes what xD

glossy wharf
#

Theres a ton of people posting shitty meaningless quotes on instagram

#

thinking they will seem smart by posting them.

languid beacon
#

Yeah if you care about someone’s opinion but should not let it change you, really it’s better to just disregard and not care about it in the first place, otherwise you’re just wasting brain cycles

glossy wharf
#

And funnily enough, quoting something about not careing what others say makes you care about what some person said

#

so quite frankly you care.

languid beacon
#

Worrying about things that are irrelevant

vocal shard
#

#

what's this chat?

glossy wharf
languid beacon
#

The biggest solution to my social anxiety was to realize that, from everyone else’s perspective, I’m not the center of their universe I’m just some random background dude that nobody gives a shit about

glossy wharf
#

Ye but not caring what others think doesnt make you smart or anything, it makes you a sociopath.

#

Careing about others thoughts makes you a better person in the end, as it helps you eliminate bad traits about yourself.

#

Obviously there will always be opinions that are hateful or whatever

#

but those also help you build a stronger shell and learn that theres things that should just be disregarded

languid beacon
#

Sociopaths very much care what other people think of them

#

More than most

vocal shard
#

Depends on the map

opaque hawk
#

Pretty much anything that was on the ground was lost forever

#

Well I noticed this on my own map.

#

“Hey I don’t remember these being so hard to pickup”

vocal shard
#

Using default pickup settings, I almost never can pick anything from the ground. Need the map maker set the pickup proximity larger. Are you using a different avatar?

opaque hawk
#

That may be the cause

languid beacon
#

Vrc_pickup component in unity has a proximity parameter it’s up to map makers to fill in or change from default

#

It’s just the case that people are learning longer ranges are better

#

That and it’s hard to “aim” the hands, the direction seems off

median basalt
#

I think the proximity parameter doesn't do anything

#

You need to add an additional "is trigger" collider

I’d like a angle of cone parameter tbh

I played Murder with Lakuza and he was pretty damn evil at it

umbral nova
#

Rokk you need to see me as Murderer lol

#

I'm really secritive about it

#

And careful

tranquil perch
#

i had fun hiding the knife in my afro once

undone perch
#

I make a mad dash for the knife and then run to the secret room to stab the person with the gun, from there you can parkour over the balcony and stab everyone in the lobby, clean up and check on the gun every once and a while

#

also can you throw the knife if you have vr or does it lose it's stabbyness when thrown?

umbral reef
#

Secret passageway?

undone perch
#

Behind the painting in the gun room, the other entrance is in a closet somewhere

umbral reef
#

What

undone perch
#

take a right turn when you spawn in and then a left, it's in one of the rooms there

#

open the painting as you would a door

tranquil perch
#

the collision for the downstairs one is a bit wonky though

woven stone
#

The murder map would be better if the hit detection of the knife would be improved

#

so often you run around stabbing someone 10 times and they just keep running

#

OR, as long as you carry the knife you move faster, that could also do a lot due to the Killer beeing at a huge disadvantage

undone perch
#

Tiny player models are impossible to stab on pc

languid beacon
#

The knife is inert while not being held, it also inherits no velocity when let go and falls down

you have to go prone to kill them but then you're to slow to catch them then

I'm pretty sure the closet is supposed to be one-way

I play that game with friends only anyway

#

I'll accept resets if the game fails to spawn them in though

woven stone
#

Friends+ murder game mostly

#

well just tell people to not use tiny player models

#

but imo, the knife needs some kind of "buff" atm the easiest way to win is just to camp a corner with the gun and kill everyone who dares to come close

rough pulsar
#

Maybe have a penalty for killing bystanders

woven stone
#

Due to beeing able to shoot through walls its also impossible to corner cut.
It does feel satisfying as hell to win as Killer

#

but its really hard

#

atm you drop the gun when you kill someone innocent

#

but you can insta pick it up again

rough pulsar
#

Ah, that explains that then.

woven stone
#

Is it possible to drop the gun and make it unavailable for the person that shot someone innocent ? 🤔

umbral reef
#

But the shooting is fairly easy to do-
Its all about getting a staight* line and not having dumb players with you

woven stone
#

Thats what I mean, shooting is really easy, while stabbing is REALLY hard.

north axle
#

Are you talking about Murder?

woven stone
#

yes

#

Great game with lots of potential

#

or maybe put some alternative killing methods in the game

#

like levers only the Killer can pull?

north axle
#

Solution: replace the knife with a ~Jedi~ lightsaber.

umbral nova

yuH

I wonder how the game would change if anyone could pick up the guns or knives, but only the killer can use the knife.

I would get a razor but everyone here got on me.just to get a pc xD since ive got a laptop

#

I hope you enjoy the switch because apple is meh

#

Ehhh

vocal shard
#

I still use my MacBook Pro everyday things 😋

#

I can understand why people do not use Mac for gaming

#

Saw the convo before some little kid last night kept resetting the Murder game

covert linden
#

I just get mad when im told mac is best for animating and editing when the main program I use cant even be accessed on mac

#

Omg murded

#

Murder

#

I like going in the closet of murder and being like 7 seconds of heaven come in

vocal shard
#

Lol

#

I wanted the kid to stop resetting so I could shoot or stab him lol

covert linden
#

Thats so annoying

languid beacon
#

I don’t consider VRChat real/cheating. Then again I don’t have a gf getting touched in vr

covert linden
#

Idk I think you can xheat on vr to an EXTENT

vocal shard
#

Yea the closets are getting some action 🤣

covert linden
#

Being pet or hugged isnt cheating

#

But if you actually start texting and fall in love

languid beacon
#

I have personal space turned on ✌️

covert linden
#

I love being pet

#

I dont get any physical contact irl so its like woah

vocal shard
#

Lol

languid beacon
#

Didn’t know until VRChat that I have mirror touch synthesia and actually feel that stuff

covert linden
#

Woah thats awesome

vocal shard
#

phantom touch

rough pulsar
#

@languid beacon Haha! Another synesthete in VRChat

Most of mine are sound-based but I have a weird form of mirror-touch too.

covert linden
#

I wish, I feel it when its on vr though

vocal shard
#

i don't feel anything, feelsbadman.

#

I noticed a lot of people pet each other on chat

hearty wyvern
#

You can force that stuff if you separate your mind from reality.

vocal shard
hearty wyvern
#

You gotta forget you have a physical body. Easy to do when your avatar proportions are almost odentical to your own.

#

Then just push the thought of ohysical touch out of your mind and believe in the virtual limbs you now control. Also scuffed tracking can bring you out of it.

languid beacon
#

I wish I had the colors thing or anything visual but no I just feel what I see see it works out for VRChat

covert linden
#

I dont have vr just a screen and I still feel it

hearty wyvern
#

Mind over mattet kinda thing.

rough pulsar
#

@languid beacon You can get somewhere near with Rez Infinite, which has a damn good VR mode.

languid beacon
#

I can feel the heat from good particle fire lol

#

It just has to look real enough

covert linden
#

Woah thats aweskme

#

I wishh

vocal shard
#

What about the vr suits? Are those available yet that you can feel things?

hearty wyvern
#

@languid beacon you can feel the heat from good HMD fire

rough pulsar
#

There's some in development/early production but not much supports them yet.

covert linden
#

You could just go outside and watch a video of a fireee and not be coldd

hearty wyvern
#

You could start a fire in VR, and also real life at the same time.

#

In your room

#

Works, I tried it.

#

I miss my house.

vocal shard
#

not recommended tho.

covert linden
#

I dont think I have that but I wishhh, I just feel being pet

#

Basically anything around my heaad

vocal shard
#

Once those suits come readily available no one will want to leave their house

covert linden
#

True

vocal shard
#

there is a suit

#

but it's very expensive

hearty wyvern
#

Will there be legs and hip extensions to the suit?

covert linden
#

Appearntly being shot in the game only feels like being hit with a tennisball thrown by a toddler

hearty wyvern
#

I wanna feel when I kick all the anime

#

Read random chat yall

vocal shard
#

I am sure the adult industry will be funding the suits

languid beacon
#

I mean MOST people get the phantom touch from being pet when looking at yourself in a mirror right? That’s not just me that’s normal right

rough pulsar
#

In VR, yeah that's fairly common. It's your brain trying to fill in the blanks.

vocal shard
#

most people ?

#

i know more people that dont actually.

rough pulsar
#

The intensity of the sensation varies of course

vocal shard
#

i dont feel anything in VR

#

like at all

languid beacon
#

Well I actually feel it, to the point where I had to take my headset off and check the first time

vocal shard
#

what the fuck

#

i want that too

languid beacon
#

Only with a mirror is it that strong

hearty wyvern
#

I get it when I'm dancing. Usually hurts my hand cuz its almost like i really hit a wall or something.

rough pulsar
#

The key difference between VR-induced sensations and what Adeon and I have, synesthesia, is synesthesia doesn't change much (if at all) over time, even long times like years.

languid beacon
#

That was my reason for buying a rift the very next day and I’ve been here ever since lol

vocal shard
#

can you give me some of that synesthesia ? thanks

hearty wyvern
#

I bet its actually more of a curse than you think. People like to randomly pet everyone and stuff OMEGALUL

#

Id get annoyed if it felt like peoole were brushing past me or touching my head all the time tbh

rough pulsar
#

@vocal shard There's a few methods that can temporarily cause synesthetic states. The only one of which I can suggest even attempting is meditation, and that will take you years of practice unless you're insanely gifted.

languid beacon
#

I thought it was common and that is why everyone is always in front of mirrors but apparently it’s not ?

#

I wanna believe anyone can feel it to some extent

vocal shard
#

yeah, i guess im fucked

undone perch
#

Wait, like the mirrors in VR chat or actual mirrors

vocal shard
#

mirror in vrchat

undone perch
#

okay

#

next question how does full body tracking work

rough pulsar
#

@languid beacon Worth testing is see if you get the same effects out of VR as you do in VR. If not then something weird is going on :O

vocal shard
#

magic

languid beacon
#

There also that rainy cave world I felt wet and cold just from the sound and visual

vocal shard
#

that's a bit extreme honestly

undone perch
#

play a paintball world

languid beacon
#

That’s about it

#

Not many other cases

#

The chair: sightlines had some hot fire in it

#

Other than that it only happens in the specific case of being front of a mirror and someone behindish touches my avie I feel it without fail lol

undone perch
#

but just image super extreme cases you could play paintball for free and actually feel like it's paintball because that would be incredible

hearty wyvern
#

Play steel and gold. Extreme Phantom touch literally just kills you with a heart attack when u get shot. Feelsbadman

undone perch
#

On no the sauce

languid beacon
#

I feel nothing when I get shot in murder

woven stone
#

where is the folder for the VRC cache located?
Didn't you used to have to delete that from time to time?

languid beacon
#

I think I have to have experienced it before

umbral nova
#

Adeon funny thing is

languid beacon
#

To feel it in vr

umbral nova
#

I think when you get shot in real life

#

It takes a bit for you to realize

#

"Hey I just got shot"

languid beacon
#

Heh

#

True

#

But I have no memory of what it feels like so I can’t make it up

umbral nova
#

Yea true

undone perch
#

But dreams where you fall from a high place your brain knows exactly what it's like

#

and I always woke up just as I hit the ground and I would feel the thud, which I also should not know what that feels like

languid beacon
#

Too many memories of getting shot and dying in games being harmless

undone perch
#

oh yeah, that probably does affect it

#

easy solution:
go play real paintball

#

or airsoft

umbral nova
#

LOL

#

Also like uhh

#

Yea playing a ton of games, getting shot, and not feeling anything

#

That'll like get you used to the sound of a gunshot

languid beacon
#

I think falling is natural instinct everyone’s gonna feel their stomach flip from falling

umbral nova
#

And then when you get shot irl, like

small wing
#

oh. my. god.

#

guys

#

im geeking out

#

so hard

vocal shard
#

people made doom

small wing
#

this is nuts, guy literally recreated minecraft classic creative mode.

vocal shard
#

pong against an IA

#

and way more stuff with shaders

undone perch
#

Free games in VR chat

small wing
#

they did?

#

is doom playable?

undone perch
#

OH HELL YEAH IMAGINE SIX SIEGE WITH THIS

small wing
#

i wanna play that rn

cold talon
#

six siege LUL

small wing
#

@undone perch someone is apparently working on a battle royale

#

i can find the tweet

#

1 sec

umbral oracle
small wing
#

minecraft battle royale lmao

#

@umbral oracle already upvoted that last week lol

#

its worth the attention. better performance too if that gets implemented.

undone perch
#

THATS NOT MINECRAFT BATTLE ROYAL THATS THE GMOD TTT MINECRAFT MAP OH MY GOD

umbral nova
#

Roll uhh

#

I looked at the video in the tweet

undone perch
#

ITS A GAME INSIDE A GAME INSIDE A GAME INSIDE A GAME

umbral nova
#

When the mute icon appears

languid beacon
#

I have no idea how people are doing this without manual coding

umbral nova
#

The world's shading slightly changes.

umbral oracle
#

Yes, the game is rendered on top of the screen using a shader. What you see outside is a static panosphere for ambience

umbral nova
#

The Minecraft one

undone perch
#

I wonder if the lag will be worse than actual minecraft or not

#

not lag but you know what I mean

umbral nova
#

Also Adeon

#

Lemme DM you something

umbral oracle
#

No, shaders are incredibly fast, even with having to use double cameras every frame because of no Graphics.Blit

languid beacon
#

Ah I see coding entire game in a shader rather than in the game

small wing
#

@umbral nova Its because the entire map is made by a shader

#

no actual geometry is used

languid beacon
#

Map does not “exist”

#

3D shader

undone perch
#

Roll you don't have to ping people whenever you want to say something

#

but I mean you do you I guess

small wing
#

🤔

undone perch
#

just please don't ping me

umbral nova
#

So the mute icon messes with the map's shading somehow?

small wing
#

Yeah, i assume so.

#

Thats why they are using noclip also i assume

#

but at the end of the video you see him open his social tab if you are worried that he is just cheekily overlaying minecraft gameplay

#

that of which would require some serious editing to mimic or even modding minecraft to begin with. blue and green doesn't play too well with chroma key either with transparency.

#

so i assume its real. I hope it gets released soon.

umbral nova
#

Oh I saw that one

#

That part is real definitely

#

But I'm curious if the part where he was building is real

small wing
#

Yep

undone perch
#

also the block breaking is off just a bit

small wing
#

look up snails minecraft shader

#

its already possible

#

i have it on my avatar

vocal shard
#

heyo

umbral nova
#

I know it's possible yea

#

Just the fact that it changed shading is making me skeptical.

small wing
#

The breaking is just a callback to the shader based on raycasting i assume.

#

not hard to code.

umbral nova
#

Probably yea

#

If I'm completely wrong, you have full rights to say "I told you so"

small wing
#

I dont even know either tbh.

#

it just seems likely that its possible at this point.

#

i hope so

umbral nova
#

Yea definitely

#

People can get really crazy with shaders

brave walrus
umbral nova
#

Error.MDL made an arcade machine using shaders... As an avatar

small wing
#

W H A T

tacit plank
#

A bit late to say this, but Minecraft battle royale is not a new concept, I did that shit in like 2011

vocal shard
#

yep

#

using cameras

#

so only friends can see it

umbral nova
#

Yea lol

small wing
#

uhhhh

#

gimme gimme

umbral nova
#

OH is that what makes him move?

small wing
#

@brave walrus the fact that its a shader toy makes it even more amazing

#

I always wanted to learn to convert them, but never found a resource for tutorials.

brave walrus
#

A quick google search can you started if you wanna do it manually. A lot of people use shaderman, it works but it performs poorly.

small wing
#

Google must hate me then. 🤔
