I cant play untill tomorrow GWtogaREEE

#

So no way to test it

#

Sad

opaque hawk
#

Doesn’t that window render at the output resolution set by the streamer?

umbral reef
#

I got no idea as i never tried it before

opaque hawk
#

Then you just reduce the size in obs I assume

tacit plank
#

How do virtual youtubers record themselves in VRChat and stream it to an application?

#

It's not just screen sharing as they're seen from a distance away, but I know it's possible for one person to do it somehow

prisma nacelle
opaque hawk
#

Obs and stream camera

#

Maybe

prisma nacelle
#

1:30 - 2:15 or atleast along the lines of that

vocal shard
#

OpenVR/Oculus Mirror + Stream Camera.

languid beacon
#

The size of the in-game camera depends on your avatar size. If you had a tiny avatar that tablet is huuuge.

#

Yeah oculus mirror and vrc window gives you both views. Beat saber is the same

tacit plank
#

A friend of mine streamed his avatar from a third person perspective

#

To ... I believe it was Skype

languid beacon
#

People still use Skype? Neat though!

tacit plank
#

It's build into openVR?

vocal shard
#

They used the stream camera for the third person.

#

Then OpenVR or Oculus mirror for first person.

languid beacon
#

OpenVR method is for Vives. Oculii should just use oculus mirror.

tacit plank
#

Oh, I see! It's in the camera thing right? I have always ignored it

#

He's using vive pro

vocal shard
#

Stream camera changes the view of your main monitor to what the camera's facing.

#

Not main monitor but the VRC window.

tacit plank
#

Ah, that's cool! So people just stream that window?

vocal shard
#

Yeah

tacit plank
#

Nicu

#

I wonder when ovrdrop will support Win7

vocal shard
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

queen mango
#

Isn't that OS getting old?

#

It's probably 11 years now

tacit plank
#

It is, but reinstalling is a pain

queen mango
#

Speaking of Win7, I miss the startup sound so much

tacit plank
#

And it will literally take hours to turn Windows 10 into an OS instead of malware

compact river
#

Thats aboit right

#

Took me 2 days

tacit plank
#

I installed shutup10 on one, but it took 2 restarts before it properly killed the windows update

#

It came with 10 "user experience" programs, a bloated Microsoft office pack (office click-to-run took like 30% cpu idle) which demanded registration, some acer thing which wanted me to login, etc.
Not to mention application configuration... I need to unfuck firefox as well. Even thumbnailing your most visited sites uses third party services, aka. your history is given away

languid beacon
#

I just let Microsoft see my porn. I mean, they could have just asked.

#

But really I’ve long given up on the whole concept of internet privacy

#

Just a myth/misconception

queen mango
#

Uhh... Nani?

compact river
#

Seeing how my system ran with base win 10 ya forget that

languid beacon
#

At least in the US. I’m pretty sure ISP’s can snoop your browsing history and not be breaking the law

tacit plank
#

No, that's just giving up

languid beacon
#

That’s what I said

tacit plank
#

Your ISP can only see the root sites that you visit, at least on HTTPS sites

#

Unless maybe your router is owned by your ISP and they're being scummy

#

Or does HTTPS protect against that too? It should, right?

languid beacon
#

Router is indeed owned by isp. That is usually the case

neon flume
#

Afaik HTTPS should keep your traffic through the router safe, but that's assuming you have all the right certs initially. That's why browsers will often throw up insecure warnings when connecting to public wifi that tries to redirect you to their login page.

languid beacon
#

My isp in particular is one of the most privacy invading (cox cable)

compact river
#

Can use some vpns i believe that have encryption 2

#

That way you remove the router beingbthe problem

neon flume
#

Yeah with a trustworthy VPN you're pretty well protected.

queen mango
#

They probably want to fail NNN, I think

tacit plank
#

"Usually the case" In America maybe

#

VPNs aren't too expensive, here anyways

#

Get one not hosted in the US or England

languid beacon
#

Yeah was gonna say. VPN’s are either metered, slow, or expensive

#

Not an expense someone is willing to take, if they do not even remotely care about his own internet privacy. Godspeed for the ones that do though, seems like wasted effort to me.

compact river
#

its really not that much work using tools people have put out

#

and vpns dont cost much at all

languid beacon
#

Sides all that vpn noise is pointless when you use it to surf Facebook all day

tacit plank
#

I can get one which runs at 80-90% of my speed for about 20$ a month

#

Well, if you use Facebook, you've pretty much lost anyways

compact river
#

rip my dude

tacit plank
#

Wait...I can get it at less. Anyways, we're talking about 200mbps here

uncut trail
#

my vrc keepa gettting timed out error

#

and my vrc memory goes over 1k?

tacit plank
#

What do you mean 1k?

jovial grail
#

I NEED HELP

vocal shard
#

Just say it ^^

jovial grail
#

can someone help me with a model

#

really quick

ocean bramble
#

Don't ask to ask, just ask

ruby needle
#

Thats one hell of a sentence.

#

But a very true one.

#

now he's calling me cirSlain

jovial grail
#

can someone help

ruby needle
#

no

#

you asked 3 times if someone can help you

#

without a single time asking what exactly with

ocean bramble
jovial grail
#

im having trouble porting something from blender to unity

#

the textures arent showing when i move it to unity

ocean bramble
#

@jovial grail Did you import the textures before or alongside the fbx?

jovial grail
#

what?

#

im not sure

maiden hound
#

delete the textures in unity and re-import them

jovial grail
#

i dont know how to port it

#

the textures arent in unity

vocal shard
#

maps take so LOOOOOONG to load!

ocean bramble
#

Delete the fbx and the materials folder, then import the textures, then import the fbx

jovial grail
#

what?

ocean bramble
jovial grail
#

no

tacit plank
#

In the folder where you dropped your .fbx, it should have made a folder for textures

maiden hound
#

where did you get the model?

ocean bramble
#

Materials aren't png files, those are the textures @maiden hound

#

😁

maiden hound
#

oops meant textures

brisk aspen
#

why takes so long to download a custom map -_-

tacit plank
#

You could go back to the assets folder and make a new folder in there and call it avatar or something. Then drag in all the textures which you downloaded with the file (don't drag in the downloaded .fbx) finally, throw your blender exported .fbx in there

brisk aspen
#

my download speed is like 0.03% for every 3 seconds XD what is happening?

maiden hound
#

map must be really big then

brisk aspen
#

Ye but if a official 12mb map is like 3 second download time

#

why a 52mb map is like 15-30 min download?????????????

tacit plank
#

Dgs issue is that he made the texture himself, and it's not being exported with the .fbx it seems

brisk aspen
#

10% -_-

tacit plank
#

And I'm not 100% on how to fix that

brisk aspen
#

Any1 knows how to fix this?? 10 minutes and i have only downloaded 17%

#

from 52mb

maiden hound
#

oh, weird, im not sure either.

#

and @brisk aspen umbreon is it only happening in that one map?

vocal shard
#

the lag!

boreal pebble
vocal shard
#

great pug is broken

tacit plank
#

I'm off. In case anyone get here with the search feature in the future, the issue was fixed by saving (externally) the texture from the image/UV view in Blender

vocal shard
#

the great pug keeps reloading

#

then i spawn in my homeworld

brisk aspen
#

@maiden hound no, it happends in all maps

vocal shard
#

yo

inner vale
#

Hi

vocal shard
#

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihihih

#

lol

fathom void
#

Hello VRchat gurus! mind helping out a weeb by telling me if "Windows Mixed Reality" is worth getting??

rigid crescent
#

its pretty good

rough pulsar
#

@fathom void It's okay if the other options are too expensive. I have one, along with a Vive and Vive Pro so I can answer any questions about how it compares to them.

fathom void
#

well to be honest i wouldnt mind buying a vive its just if the WMR works with most things like VRchat and hopefully some games it would save me some cash

#

@rough pulsar

#

i know that the WMR have in headset tracking so i cannot be too crazy with my controllers and such

maiden hound
#

@brisk aspen well, i was just on vrchat and it was alright, so i think its your connection\

#

@fathom void WMR is actually fairly good, works with a lot of games that support vive, aswell..

#

for the price, definetly worth it i'd say.

rough pulsar
#

@fathom void If you can afford one I would definitely suggest a Vive over WMR. The tracking is night and day in terms of quality difference, with the Vive being the better one.

Dgs is also right, with how SteamVR works, anything that supports the Vive will run on WMR through SteamVR

fathom void
#

yea and they make it easy to get one by paying like overtime

maiden hound
#

exactly, really depends on if you're cheap and want something under 500 CAD or if you have a couple hundred to spend on a 800 CAD vive

fathom void
#

ams canadians so i understood

#

have any of u done that for the vive?

#

pay overtime

rough pulsar
#

I haven't, so can't say how it goes. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

maiden hound
#

i havent, but i'd say it would be easier

#

if you dont have the money just yet

fathom void
#

was just wondering if like they ship it to you as soon as u start paying overtime or what

rough pulsar
#

I can't seem to find the page for paying monthly, at least not for Canadian customers.
I do know it's not an option in all regions though.

fathom void
#

blasphemy

#

that would lower they income

brisk aspen
#

@maiden hound cant be my connection

vocal shard
#

Just putting my two cents in about wmr. It's definitely good enough. I thoroughly enjoy the ones Ive used. I'd still recommend a vive over it, but wmr will get the job done and is still a good experience. (Personally I'd stay away from the HP one.... That one I returned due to low fov, loose visor, and really small sweet spot compared to other wmr headsets like lenovo) @fathom void

indigo fern
#

That paragraph is at least three cents

vocal shard
#

my birthday is tomorrow and im gonna be playing vrchat or doing something whhwhed

#

dabs in russian

ocean bramble
#

I do something whhwhed all the time

vocal shard
#

oh cool you do whhwhed too ok

#

didnt think a cats dev would do whhwhed

ocean bramble
#

We are whhwhed brothers

vocal shard
#

oofoo?

ocean bramble
#

Yes!

vocal shard
#

oh sh00t

marsh quartz
#

? IS ANY B0DY PLAYING ?

shy pawn
queen mango
#

Through your Steam account. Log on through there

shy pawn
#

im on my steam account

#

i launched it through steam, i mean

queen mango
#

It should be in the bottom right of the settings tab

shy pawn
#

im there

vocal shard
#

Steam account and launching through steam aren't the same thing..... Just to be clear ..

shy pawn
#

and its not there

#

i reset steam and launched vrchat through it again and its not there

queen mango
#

Hmm... you have a VRChat account?

shy pawn
#

yeah

queen mango
#

Strange...

shy pawn
#

not sure what else to do

topaz lynx
#

so is the oculus store release for VRChat still planned? or is it no longer happening?

sterile drift
#

Was that ever a thing discussed to begin with? Ehh, regardless, the only thing you need to worry about right now is that it's on Steam, so just play it through there.

meager solstice
#

i mean it was on the canny for a while

idle elm
#

Early last year it was said by a VRC dev on a medium post comment that getting an Oculus build out was very important to them and would happen. That comment was later deleted.

#

It will happen though.

#

Sadly just not as soon as once hoped.

jagged portal
#

hmm my mic doesnt work in game in vr, I switch the rift as a default device but still wont work in game

sterile drift
#

Restart the audio device

#

Just disable it and re-enable it

#

Then switch off the mic and back onto it

#

Usually works for me

#

If that doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell ya

jagged portal
#

hmm, i have to do that everyime i go in vrchat D:

#

ill try it one sec

languid beacon
#

I own an oculus and even I don’t see the point of a oculus home version of vrchat

lament root
brisk umbra
#

so its easy to put your own mic on oculus?

quartz basin
#

Sure. Just disable the Oculus mic and use your own.

umbral reef
#

And most games allow you to select what output you want

#

Or well input in this case

brisk umbra
#

cheer guys i will let you know if i had any issues later

cold talon
#

Virtual cable awesmart

brisk umbra
#

i am doing it later so...

quartz basin
#

Just that if you're using a headset you have one more cable to worry about.

brisk umbra
#

Yeah i am using a headset

umbral reef
#

Does the rift have a headphone jack plug?

quartz basin
#

Nope

umbral reef
#

Dam
Vive does

quartz basin
#

Well, Vive doesn't come with headphones right out of the box.

cold talon
#

LUL got em

#

But can you even route it back thru the vive jack?

brisk umbra
#

so i can't use my own headset mic for the rift?

quartz basin
#

Yes you can

umbral reef
#

Also- It does sails

#

It does...

brisk umbra
#

so audio inport for vr on the oculus app?

umbral reef
#

You get high quallity earbuds together with the vive that are specially made to use with the headset...

#

(high quallity =/= Aliexpress earbuds for 2 euro)

#

( Its anything above that)

quartz basin
#

Well, probably have the same audio quality as these things which come with the Rift.

#

Also @brisk umbra , just enable your headset microphone when you want to play VRchat.

#

You do that in the Sounds setting in Windows.

brisk umbra
#

yep my input and output is the mic i want it to be

vocal shard
#

hey guys its like 1 am aka my birthday so uhh can i get a happy birthday in the chat

umbral reef
#

Happybday bou

brisk umbra

happy birthday!!

Hi All, Sorry but I am starting with VRChat and I am working with Unity and VR projects and I am interested in integrate VR Chat to my VR project? Is it posssible? Ps. I am sure if this place correct to do this question, please let me know it. Thanks

umbral reef
#

How exactly do you mean?
You want to make a product for sale that is within VRchat- You want to start up a service that involves working/doing things within VRchat

Or the more normal thing of wanting to upload your stuff into the game?

unkempt cliff
#

I hope the bug of materials not changing in mirrors gets fixed

fallow trench
#

Gtx 1070ti + Ryzen 5 2600x + 16gb can run this game in VR at good framerate

umbral reef
#

Just find a room with unoptimized avatars unity_chan_dab

#

And then go infront of a mirror

#

The max you can reach is the 45 fps then

errant merlin
#

Has anyone seen a model of a sash anywhere?

umbral reef
#

Sash?

errant merlin
#

A sash is a large and usually colorful ribbon or band of material worn around the body, draping from one shoulder to the opposing hip

umbral reef
#

Owww- I was expecting like a person

errant merlin
#

from one side of the shoulder down to the other side

#

it's basically a piece of cloth

#

or a ribbon

#

seems like it just doesn't exist

safe prism
#

make one

#

create a plane, click an edge and extrude it over and over until it's a sash

vocal shard
#

Can anybody take a look at the stats of a VR ready PC in dm's as i have never owned a desktop pc before

umbral reef
#

As i said before- Just post the specs in #general-media and people can help you there
Most users here wont spend hours helping in dm's

vocal shard
#

@umbral reef i cant post the screen shot in there

umbral reef
#

upload them to imgur

#

And best is to just send the website of the components that you want or write out the list of componentsn instead of screenshots

vocal shard
#

ok

tacit plank
#

Most MMD creators have no fashion sense

queen mango
#

How so?

tacit plank
#

They're just regular, plain models

#

Like people you'd see outside

#

Well, toga has made a few cool looking characters

vital rune
#

I love Toga's Fukaziroh

hoary spruce
#

anyone else keep getting "vrchat is not responding"/"could not connect to vrchat" errors?

tacit plank
#

I like unique looking things I guess

vital rune
#

although my fun for using it was ruined thanks to the """new""" crouching animation

tacit plank
#

An example of a unique character is probably midna. You don't really find anything close to it

vital rune
#

and I am supremely bummed out that his regular LLENN avatar cant hide in a briefcase but Kanna LLENN can

#

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

tacit plank
#

Thanks to Google images, I feel like adding pinterest to my hosts file to block it

umbral reef
#

Do it

queen mango
#

Hmm... Why does it feel like Discord is less active today?
Some users aren't online, Ruubick isn't overseeing the chat...

vital rune
#

people are dying from the inactive plague

queen mango
#

What happened to Jufo?

tacit plank
#

Mods are sleeping, discuss random things and ping people

umbral reef
#

Can we order an @ everyone?

vital rune
#

the disconnect sound in vrchat

#

is basically a ptsd for me at this point

#

because everytime I hear it I throw a hissy fit

tacit plank
#

Mute it

#

😄

queen mango
#

The disconnect sound... REEEing intensifies

vocal shard
umbral reef
#

Are you ordering it from a website or building it yourself?

vital rune
#

that and you have to endure having to stare at a black screen for a good solid 30 seconds to 2 minutes

#

if your home world is like MMD Dance Stage

queen mango
#

That deffo ain't good

vocal shard
#

@umbral reef a website

queen mango
#

Heard it doesn't even load for some people. Like it didn't for me

vital rune
#

it is an issue

#

ntm VRC would just entirely freeze itself while doing so

#

as in the game would just give up

queen mango
#

Yea

vital rune
#

you know, I'm kinda surprised I havnt been ran across a FNAF avatar in the game

#

despite it being so goddamn popular it just won't die

queen mango
#

It's much more simple creating MMD avatars than video game characters, nowadays

#

Unless it is Nia, nyaow!

vital rune
#

tho I am saddened

#

by the lack of F.E.A.R avatars

median basalt
#

It's a fairly old game

#

And not cartoony

#

Which makes the models fairly low quality

#

You can get away with low poly and low quality textures if it's something like an N64 or Gamecube model that's clearly meant to be cartoony

queen mango
#

Stretched Mario Face avatar

#

Wouldn't want that haunting mah humor.

vital rune
#

there is FEAR 2 models

tacit plank
#

I can't find an avatar of that pink haired loli from bleach. I also can't seem to find a good Ika model

coarse anchor
#

is there a way to run VRChat only over Oculus VR instead of using SteamVRm, because SteamVR usualy takes way to many rescources

glossy wharf
coarse anchor
#

SteamVR= Hungry, Oculus App = Less Hungry

#

<-- Would Prefer to run VRchat Over Oculus App and not having to go into SteamVR

#

that wasnt so hard to understand now was it?

hasty wedge
coarse anchor
#

oh wo wha

#

whats this

vocal shard
#

Huh

#

I cant use fullbody without steamvr tho

coarse anchor
#

I mean my machine really dislikes SteamVR

clever trench
#

Hi guys, Do we know something about VRChat on oculus quest?

vocal shard
#

Not likely that it will happen

umbral reef
#

It sounds like a nice joke

clever trench
#

Why is a joke? OrbusVR will supp Oculus Quest, and they are a MMORPG, VRchat is just lobbies, I think that VRchat just need a good optimization

#

:/

umbral reef
#

Blame the users then my dude

#

But oculos quest is just an more optimized vr telephone slapped to your face

vocal shard
#

Vrchat would be too much in its current state... When even a beast PC lags... A little quest would have lots of trouble

floral aspen
#

VRC brings even the best PC's to their knee's. Quest couldn't handle it

rough pulsar
#

Oh boy let me tell you something about optimisation 😱
Some of the stuff users have made, and can make will make even a intel i9 and a 2080ti scream in pain

umbral reef
#

@rough pulsar the current avatar world's being denied

clever trench
#

@umbral reef ok, a hater of oculus xd

umbral reef
#

Amazing

#

@clever trench since when?

floral aspen
#

It's literally just a mobile SoC in a headset. Would you try running VRChat on your phone?

clever trench
#

@floral aspen yeah I know, cause of That I ask

vocal shard
#

Eh.... How is that hating on oculus. Lol

floral aspen
#

yeah, he isn't hating, he's just being realistic

umbral reef
#

Can you explain the system any better then? Give us specs or the magic they use to outperform flagship phone tech

rough pulsar
#

@clever trench The underlying system of vrchat could be ported to a system like the Quest, but the wildly unpredictable user content absolutely couldn't.

Unless vrchat started enforcing some incredibly strict restrictions on both worlds and avatars

#

And even then that'd be difficult.

floral aspen
#

we'd all be running around as VRChat Nikei if they ported it to quest

#

even then who knows how the performance would be

clever trench
#

@rough pulsar Thanks for your answer ❤ I understand that

vocal shard
#

They claim it has the power of a PS3.... But even that...

floral aspen
#

yup, even that isn't enough

umbral reef
#

Because FYI
The quests uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 
What is the processor used in an S7

floral aspen
#

s7 uses Snapdragon 820

umbral reef
#

It did?

floral aspen
#

yup

umbral reef
#

Ow wait the s8 is supposed to have that chip 👏

#

My ad

clever trench
#

I Think that I just could play minecraft and orbus then xd and other experiences I think

umbral reef
#

But still
It uses phone processors
So how is it not a well optimized phone be headset

floral aspen
#

phone be headset?

umbral reef
#

Vr*

clever trench
#

@umbral reef bro 4 cam and a great lents xd and oculus control, xd

umbral reef
#

My auto-correct doesn't enjoy the word vr

vocal shard
#

I'm curious to see how the rift S is tho ..

floral aspen
#

me too

umbral reef
#

That does not change its performance peek my dude

#

At worse lowers it

floral aspen
#

If whatever the half dome prototype turns out to be is still 4+ years away I'll probably pick up a Rift S

clever trench
#

a pc 1k + Headset VR or Headset 399 with VR and oculus control xd and Oculus S... so sad but it is just a Oculus Quest with a posibility to conect to pc without the snapdragon

vocal shard
#

I'd rather have a rift s than a quest... But I have a PC to power it.

Even if they are almost identical in most specs, the s would be a much different experience than the quest because of the processing power

umbral reef
#

I never stated it's a bad deal or product
Just that it can't run all vr stuff so let stand a heavy performance game like vrc

#

Same that most games are editing how they render and making quest versions of there games because of it

floral aspen
#

Same. It's cool that the quest is wireless, but I don't want to sacrifice performance just for wireless. Plus, I don't have the space to take advantage of a wireless headset anyway

vocal shard
#

Quest is limited to 70hz isn't it? Or is that just the go?

clever trench
#

@umbral reef Heavy perfonmance or bad optimitation, that is hard to discriminate

floral aspen
#

yes, it is limited to 70hz

umbral reef
#

It's not

#

Not at all

opaque hawk
#

I just want the main headset manufacturers to come out with new models that address wear and tear issues.

clever trench
#

@vocal shard 72-75 Hz just a bit more than oculus Go

umbral reef
#

Vrc is badly optimized with big thanks to avatars that people upload

floral aspen
#

Doesn't matter how much they optimize VRC if you have users uploading avatars with 1,000 dyna bones

umbral reef
#

A phone that is 5 years old doing split screen is a hardware problem

clever trench
#

@umbral reef Yeah I understand the sepecific chase of VRChat, I mean in general

opaque hawk
#

VRChats optimization has both to do with avatars and worlds

umbral reef
#

Not an optimization problem then

clever trench
#

@floral aspen yeah I undertood that just now xd

vocal shard
#

From what I hear, the quest is a great device and games built for it work well. But vrc just has too much on it's plate to start making a new version just for the quest

floral aspen
#

yeah, they can't even finish an oculus client for the rift so who knows when they would get around to a quest port

umbral reef
#

@vocal shard well ofc as they have to redo a lot of work to make it work at all so they can also make it work good

#

It uses apps instead for the games
Neat fix for it but still

clever trench
#

@vocal shard I dont Thinks so mmm

umbral reef
#

@clever trench they need to remake the game for a phone type processor
It's easier to update the game to a new unity version

clever trench
#

@floral aspen Thats true bro, the VR go too quiclky

#

xd

I don’t know much about lower level computing, but I assume the switch to unity 2018 would make VRChat on oculus go more likely

floral aspen
#

umm no

umbral reef
#

@opaque hawkagain no

clever trench
#

@umbral reef A remake is obvious, but It doesnt have to be hard, I mean, Oculus wont shell a Quest without games xd They think about that

opaque hawk
#

No, ok

floral aspen
#

switching to 2018 doesn't magically make the go powerful enough to run VRChat

umbral reef
#

Or make the processor able to read steamvr code

#

Its why not all of games work on phones

clever trench
#

@opaque hawk They explain me and I understand, They cant optimizate a game that have the freedom to create everything u know

umbral reef
#

And you need to specially make them compatible

opaque hawk
#

Makes sense

umbral reef
#

I can explain it more or other stuff later as gtg for now

floral aspen
#

bye Oclac

vocal shard
#

Cya ^^

opaque hawk
#

Later

clever trench
#

@opaque hawk But OrbusVR can cause they have specific avatars, instead of be a massive multiplayer open world, they can, cause they have less components of VRchat (?)

#

see u Oclac I pleasure chat with u

floral aspen
#

OrbusVR also has extremely basic avatars/world/graphics even when compared to VRChat

clever trench
#

yeah, Orbus Reborn change the Graphics but they still have another basic style heheh

opaque hawk
#

Is there a in general disdain or generally snobbyness towards simple retexture/recolored avatars?

floral aspen
#

idk, I don't really have an issue with them

median basalt
#

They're pretty easy to make and they're better than not having them at all

#

But I've definitely seen worlds that stick to a singular model a bit too much

vocal shard
#

Some might make comments, yeah..

median basalt
#

Such as that "full body avatars" world, where literally everything is just "take Shimakaze's body, make the boobs bigger, slap a different head on it, put cloth and dynamic bone colliders on literally everything"

vocal shard
hasty wedge
#

pls dont call that disgrace shimakaze

opaque hawk
#

Supposedly those avatars have really good fbt

hasty wedge
#

theyre ok

#

chibi api miku is god tier for fbt

vocal shard
#

Lol

median basalt
#

I dunno, their proportions don't seem good for FBT at all

#

The only upside is that they don't have long skirts so you can properly see your legs

vocal shard
#

Yet, they are known as "the full body avatar"
Saw someone get comments about "why are you using a FBT avatar when you only have normal vr*

opaque hawk
#

I’ve noticed that avatars really good for fbt tend to track regular vr better.

#

Like the red sweater clayman

errant merlin
#

What’s the difference between a normal model and a FBT avatar?

#

Is it rigged differently?

#

Special settings in Unity?

ruby needle
#

nothing in best case

#

FBT Compatible avatars are basically just avatars with accurate proportions

errant merlin
#

I see

ruby needle
#

and some minimal rigging things to consider

#

like the 180° Pelvis thingy

#

which are FBT specific important,

#

but works just as well without.

#

just not the other way.

kindred nacelle
#

Does anyone here use a Samsung VR set and is it good enough for gaming

#

the reviews say that the main disadvantage is that the tracking is less than perfect

covert linden
#

I mean samsung gaming should be fine

#

But I dont think you should get a vr that isn't generally for a pc for pc gaming

#

But im not too sure

coarse anchor

@hasty wedge I gotta have to say thanks for the openOVR

it made VRChat run so much better

hasty wedge
vocal shard
#

@covert linden they mean the Samsung odyssey

kindred nacelle
#

OH LOL

vocal shard
#

@kindred nacelle I have the lenovo explorer which uses the same tracking system. It's definitely good enough and I know many who use wmr systems. True the tracking behind you isn't as trustworthy because when outside the camera sight, it relies on accelerometer data to keep tracking, but that looses accuracy quickly and only lasts for about 5 seconds. But for most games you vary rarely leave the camera sight anyway. @kindred nacelle

kindred nacelle
#

Yeah, the Samsung Odyssey is gonna be 300 dollars for black friday

#

Oh, so it actually works when out of the cameras' range, it's just not good

#

I was wondering about that, seemed like a pretty major design flaw lol

vocal shard
#

If you search "wmr vrchat" on YouTube. There's a few good reviews that show the tracking and such. Namely one by blunty. I have a review too

#

It works well for most games. You can still reach behind you, grab stuff, shoot, ect.

kindred nacelle
#

the black friday deal is just one more factor leading me to abandon my dreams of doing the full body tracking

#

the low resolution on the original Vive has been the main thing taking me out of VR experiences when I've tried them, so...

vocal shard
#

With the Odyssey... You'd give up a bit of tracking, but it has one of the best vr screens on the market right now...

kindred nacelle
#

It seems this is the perfect device for me except for the fact that I have to let go of the dream lol

vocal shard
#

You could save a bit and down like line, combine the Odyssey with the vice fbt system

#

If you buy the vive lighthouses, you can use it's fbt system with any other headset

#

Rift and wmr users already do that

#

Same thing with the upcoming valve knuckles.

kindred nacelle
#

you'd need 2 or 3 sensors and the 3 trackers

vocal shard
#

2 lighthouses.

#

Yeah

kindred nacelle
#

not bad

vocal shard
#

It's different than the rift. Don't need 3

kindred nacelle
#

I didn't know you could do that. Good to know.

#

I had the idea to make the full body trackers pay for themselves if you know what I mean, but in VRChat a performance has a hard limit of 19 spectators

#

It's a bit hard to justify them when they don't do anything else at all lol

TJStudio's asking where the event's going to take place.

so it will take place in the Loli lords game show world, you can either join the VRChat Events discord, join the Loli Lords discord, or add @ivory granite and or @azure harbor to join in and watch the games. Currently due to school I am not able to attend the event so I will not be present. The discords will give you updated times and info on all that is going on with the game show ^^

topaz lynx

that makes sense

I am not sure if I can link discords in here or not

i'll try to join the world as soon as i can

yep if you have any questions about the events you can ask Lowlow or Punk 😁

How does WMR tracking work when you're trying to move your head laterally?

#

If it doesn't have an external sensor, how does it know you're moving laterally?

subtle prawn
#

📷

opaque hawk
#

It uses the cameras, it tracks the room around you, it actually more accurate for head tracking then the other headsets

tacit plank
#

Can we up the polygon limit already? It only hurts innocent players and rewards modding the SDK and downloading things off "that one website".
It also spreads misconceptions about performance. From my experience, a lot of Japanese players can't get themselves to break the polygon limit. They like rules too much.
But they're also skeptical if I tell them they should merge their meshes or do texture atlasing

#

Just face it, the limit will be changed sooner or later (to some sub-65k value)
A materials or mesh limiter (even if those limits are lenient) will improve performance more than the 20k limit ever did

rigid crescent
#

lol

#

how does it reward downloading stuff off that one site

vocal shard
#

i tested some of the top models on that website

#

they usually have more than 30 materials

tacit plank
#

Because every download there has guides and files for overwriting the limit

Hi there

#

A world getting denied because of an avatar with over 278 dynamic bones

tacit plank
#

Honestly, even a warning about meshes/materials/dynamic bones will spread awareness

floral aspen
#

^

rigid crescent
#

Maybe take the few hours it would take to do some videos on optimization so we can have an official word on it

tacit plank
#

A lot of players want to have a good FPS. They're not lagging others intentionally, they just don't know any better

umbral reef
#

Caff- We have been screaming this shit for so long into the empty void

rigid crescent
#

Tell me why meshes/materials/dynamic bones matter besides "guy on discord say so"

umbral reef
#

Unless you are a famous streamer boi or have a big enough reach with them

#

Shit wont even get attention

floral aspen
#

Putting some optimization tips in the loading screen might help

rigid crescent
#

yeah that too, it doesn't matter. if they cared about performance then they'd take the moments of time it would take to make an official PSA about this

umbral reef
#

Tl;dr The more diffrent lose things that there are the more diffrent things you need to render

#

Instead of it being calcualted it one go

rigid crescent
#

"Hey guys, Tupper here with a blah blah blah. Merge your fucking bones, for the love of god. here's why this shit actually matters"

tacit plank
#

That pretty much covers it, actually, Oclac

umbral reef
#

Think of counting 1+1+1+1+1+1 instead of just saying 5

rigid crescent
#

I know, most people do not

umbral reef
#

And the heavier the script, (example dynamic bones) the more 1's you have to count

rigid crescent
#

and most people dont care what random discord guy says

umbral reef
#

Thing is- There have been voices from the higher ups that it should be a thing

#

But well... I see jack shit so far

rigid crescent
#

That's why Tupper's video that isn't even on the official VRChat youtube has more views than any other guide

tacit plank
#

I was just trying to argue that it will be a thing sooner or later

rigid crescent
#

It's "the video" even now

umbral reef
#

Same goes for so much stuff that does not take to much work to implement by a random but apparently takes months for VRC

tacit plank
#

At this rate, bypassing the SDK will be so common that it becomes an automatic CATS feature

umbral reef
#

'the video' is outdated though

rigid crescent
#

It's outdated, but it's as close to official as we have

tacit plank
#

So it will only harm people who dislike breaking rules, and annoy new players while teaching them how bad the security is and that they can bypass most limits

rigid crescent
#

Tupper could spit on a plate and upload it to Tiktok and it would still be considered more officail than any user made content

Cats is a blender add-on
Bypassing sdk limit is changing script in unity
How can it be a cats feature vrpill

Export it to your unity project folder

A changed SDK file. That will overwrite it. Just specify a project path and Blender should be able to do it

tacit plank

I'm saying that bypassing it will be such a common thing that it might as well be a CATS feature now.
You're an experienced player, but if you're totally new, you'd download cats to help you do basic VRChat things right?

"sooner or later"

and we usually see a "later" to "never"

no news whatsoever for UDON since the initial reveal

but sooner or later i guess

and in 2 years we will still say that

#

A year ago I didn't hear of how to bypass the limit, neither did any of my friends know about it

vocal shard
#

like everything else

#

i heard about bypassing the limit like 3 weeks after i started playing

tacit plank
#

Now, I don't know any people (other than Asians) who haven't bypassed it

vocal shard
#

it wasnt a secret

at all

inner cape
#

Hotox isn't as rarted

floral aspen
#

UDON is following in the footsteps of Playmaker unfortunately. Big reveal and then radio silence for months or even a year at a time

tacit plank
#

Now you're basically expected to bypass it. If 90% of players do it, it's just a pain for new players

vocal shard
#

you can still make a MMD model looks good under 20k

#

it's just take time and effort

#

which a very few people actually want to do

#

vrchat just disconnected

#

look at shonzo's avatar

tacit plank
#

So it wouldn't be weird if somebody made a community tool which bypasses it, and maybe gets you basic shaders and such. A getting-started pack basically

vocal shard
#

they are very well made

#

and all of them are under 20k

rigid crescent
#

lolshonzo

tacit plank
#

It's a lot of work, it's unrewarding (as it doesn't really matter for performance) it might look good, but never as good, and most of the times the MMD models you find are just awful

rigid crescent
#

all thsoe dynamics tho

vocal shard
#

it depend on the model

#

when he isnt "experimenting" he is staying in the limit of vrchat

#

under 30 dyn bone

#

he is probably going to need to modify and reupload some of them tho

tacit plank
#

Most users can't, most users won't, and it's a bad investment of time compared to learning texture atlasing

#

Good on him though

#

Aren't most avatars in avatar worlds above the limit too?

rigid crescent
#

absolutely

umbral oracle
#

The problem with the limit that I saw as a new avatar maker is I spent 95% of my hours of time getting polygons within the limit and then kind of botched material and dynamic bone optimization for the last 5% of my time because it wasn't necessary, so all of my models had like 10 materials and tons of unused bones but at least were within the limit

vocal shard
#

yeah caffeine

#

you can basically get anything accepted if you upload your world on a sunday

#

if you check the recent world form

umbral oracle
#

I started finding models that had less clothing so I didn't have to deal with decimation, and that's just the incentives I was given and I found I started to do better with bones and materials when I didn't focus all my energy on the 20k limit

vocal shard
#

some world got refused cuz avatars got like 250 dynamic bones

#

5+ colliders

#

30+ materials

#

if that world was requested on a sunday, then it would have been public

rigid crescent
#

plenty existing ones, extremely popular ones, still have terrible avatars in them though

vocal shard
#

and people would use that laggy avatar

#

yeah

#

it's slowly changing

rigid crescent
#

it's hard and honestly unfair, but i wish they'd just target the popular worlds

vocal shard
#

slowly but at least they are doing something now

rigid crescent
#

those should've been hit first tbh

vocal shard
#

30 dyn bone max
less than 5 materials
only 1 dyn bone collider

#

from what i saw

#

i thinkg they allow 2 meshes if it's using cloth

rigid crescent
#

I mean, it's totally possible, but I doubt these full body dancer avatars are within that limit

#

seeing as most of those skirts practically require a collider on each leg

vocal shard
#

it's cloth tho

rigid crescent
#

same with the hair

vocal shard
#

so it's different from dyn bone collider

tacit plank
#

Cloth with what settings though?

vocal shard
#

dyn bone collider are really laggy if you compare them to unity colliders

tacit plank
#

The default are horrible I've heard

vocal shard
#

doesnt matter

#

performance wise i mean

rigid crescent
#

gotta get a Ripper Hero to go to all these worlds and figure out for us lol

opaque hawk
#

At least the ever present ooka avatars are fairly “optimized “ by default

vocal shard
#

yeah

#

it's yuumi

#

he is optimizing his shit

umbral oracle
#

I'll use 19k polys for the cloth mesh and 1k for the rest

tacit plank
#

Isn't the default updaterate like 10 times more than what's needed? I remember reading that, just not where or when

vocal shard
#

nah

rigid crescent
#

sadly the new flavor of the month avatar seems to be from that Classified world, and all those have a bunch of effects

vocal shard
#

cloth component is less laggy than dyn bone

#

like a shit ton less

rigid crescent
#

we're already veering away from the crappy full body emission tattoos

umbral oracle
#

Not if you throw 20k vertices on it :-p

vocal shard
#

obviously dont use cloth on a 2k poly mesh

#

i went up to 3k

#

with very little performance issue

#

(for testing)

#

i didnt actually use the model

#

5k is usually getting a bit of lag

tacit plank
#

"Very little" how many FPS is that?

#

Just curious

umbral oracle
#

15k vertex cloth = solid 1fps

vocal shard
#

i tested in unity

#

got from 900 fps to like 800

tacit plank
#

Ah, good way to test I think. So it's about 12.5% more CPU for the entire avatar

vocal shard
#

it's been a long time

#

in vrhcat i didnt notice any difference

#

but then again

#

i was alone

rigid crescent
#

That's not as bad of a problem until it's a popular world avatar

vocal shard
#

yeah

#

one or 2 dude is easy

rigid crescent
#

then you'd got 8 of them in a pug

vocal shard
#

get 10 of them,

#

and rip fps

rigid crescent
#

or 5 of them in a friends of guest

vocal shard
#

yeah

#

but it was a shit ton of polys

#

you arent supposed to use it on something so big

tacit plank
#

Depending on the collision calculations, the needed CPU might be exponential

vocal shard
#

like 1k should be the maximum limit

tacit plank
#

Like, if you have 4 objects, they might each need to calculate if they're within the range of the other 3, this makes 12 calculations in total. With 5 objects, that becomes 20

vocal shard
#

i'm pretty sure the unity collider are less CPU intensive than dyn bone colliders

#

you can have so many of them and still be fine

covert chasm
#

@vocal shard The ideal "limits" (there are exceptions) are 30 DynBone transforms, 1 (ideally zero) DynBone colliders, less than 10 materials. Its noted in #public-world-request and in the submission form.

vocal shard
#

do the same numbers with dyn bone

#

and you will lag

#

oh, good to know

#

i didnt check those cuz i dont make worlds

#

thanks

#

i'm curious as to why 1 tho ?

tacit plank
#

Like this, you could have an avatar which runs fine when you're alone, but a lot of lag when you're a bunch of people using that avatar

vocal shard
#

is it to limit to the minimum possible ?

covert chasm
#

DynBone colliders are awful.

vocal shard
#

most people use 2, one in each hand to touch hair and ears usually

#

yeah they are

umbral oracle
#

Might be good to update the sdk to say the same thing. Many creators don't read discords

covert chasm
#

They have to read the discord/submission form to submit a public world 😃

#

the non-technical, handwavey explaination is that colliders "double" the cost of any bones they're applied to.

umbral oracle
#

Many make just personal avatars I mean

vocal shard
#

oh man

#

so the more dyn bone you have, the worse the colliders get

umbral oracle
#

I didn't realize it was that bad, interesting

covert chasm
#

Yes. Funny part of dynbones-- the lower your framerate, the worse the effect of DynBones is.

kind anchor
#

Yes thats how i make floating avatard

umbral reef
#

Oi tupper is there a place to request/give idea's for anything but the game GWnanamiIllyaThink
Or does the canny count for anything and everything owned by vrc

tacit plank
#

That's fine, unless adding another means x4, or having two of those avatars in the same world makes them calculate collisions with eachother

vocal shard
#

imagine submitting a request to get your world public whe n you have avatars with more than 250 dyn bone and 5 colliders

kindred nacelle
#

I... I just use Kizuna Ai and Felix, because I don't want to walk around with something that's trying to be flashy and yet i just picked it from a public world...

tacit plank
#

Oh, dynamic bone update rate is the same no matter your FPS you mean?

vocal shard
#

lmao, i didnt know that
so as soon as you start lagging because of dyn bone you are basically already fucked lul

kindred nacelle
#

I wouldn't mind using something special and being less of a pleb, I guess...

umbral oracle
#

Oh imagine if that was the cause of the steamvr menu lag glitch

covert chasm
#

No, its weird. TCL knows more. But if DynBones is running in a low-perf environment, it actually has more of a negative effect on perf than if you were at high FPS.

#

so its a feedback loop

vocal shard
#

TCL is the guy that knows everything about unity lul

#

i'm happy that the public world are getting more thoroughly checked

kind anchor
#

Yes by looking tail of foxgirl avatar my starts to scream because of dyn

vocal shard
#

just wish it was more consistent

rigid crescent
#

just because you're not flashy doesn't mean it's optomized, tactical

tacit plank
#

Can we get somebody to code a better dynamic bones?

rigid crescent
#

THere's a chance the Felix has 40 bones in his skirt alone

vocal shard
#

someone from 4chan was trying to make his own dynabone script which was way more optimized

covert chasm
#

"better dynamic bones" can't really exist. You can only optimize it so far-- the actual operation it is performing is very difficult to do performantly over a large number of bones.

vocal shard
#

but i didnt get any more new

tacit plank
#

Like, make it use both box colliders and mesh colliders. Then if collision is detected with the box collider, start doing the mesh collider calculations. Not before then

covert chasm
#

It isn't easily threadable, it isn't easily job-system-able

vocal shard
#

i don't think you can make dyn bone more optimized than now

#

it's always going to be a source of lag

umbral oracle
#

Well cloth is a better (cheaper) dynamic bones in a sense, if it were applied at the bone level instead of the vertex level it could be used as such

vocal shard
#

no matter what

#

cloth is really good honestly

#

when you don't use it on a 8k polys hair like that dance avatar world vrpill

umbral oracle
#

Well I wish it could be used on the bone chain that makes up the hair, then you weight paint the hair to it

covert chasm
#

Cloth really isn't that much better than DynBones

vocal shard
#

some people are looking into GPU 'dynamic bones' systems, but the current setup would require cameras

covert chasm
#

unless you create a mesh specifically for cloth-- super low vert count

vocal shard
#

yeah

covert chasm
#

like less than 150-200 verts

better to use cloth on a 500poly skirt than a skirt with 30 dyn bone

#

yo tupper, are the reviewers going to check already approved popular avatar worlds ?

rigid crescent
#

;_; just say it in a video tupper pls

#

"guys chill with the fucking bones and cloth"

vocal shard
#

or an official statement

#

no need for a video

rigid crescent
#

make an Optimization Tik Tok

covert chasm
#

all of this is in progress

#

rather, these.. things

#

actions

#

etc

umbral oracle
#

... actually I want to try this now. @vocal shard if I use bone transform matricies as my avatar mesh and make it just one cloth with 1 vertex per bone

tacit plank
#

Sounds good!

vocal shard
#

yeah, just hoping it's going to be pretty soon

#

and not in a long time

rigid crescent
#

"hit or miss, i guess they never miss huh? you got too many bones i bet ya didnt merge them! mwah"

#

done

vocal shard
#

but it's good to have some absurd avatar world getting refused now

umbral reef
#

@vocal shard Aka not Vr soon

vocal shard
#

yea

tacit plank
#

You should compare a badly optimized mmd avatar with cloth and colliders to one that you've optimized as much as possible.
I'm sure the difference will be around 10-fold

rigid crescent
#

lol

umbral reef
#

Yea Love the worlds with the insanely bad avatars being denied GWtogaHappy

rigid crescent
#

I love the snarky comments on some of them

vocal shard
#

people have already been told to atlas and join meshes and avoid dynbones, they think it doesn't apply to them because they're special

rigid crescent
#

"not very lag free lol"

umbral reef
#

Now just to keep it up and educate the peeps

tacit plank
#

Can cats merge bones while keeping weights?

rigid crescent
#

Told by who? where?

umbral oracle
#

But yes this is a huge step forward already. I think we need more in the education front and showing dyn bone usage and material count in the sdk would help get people thinking about it earlier

umbral reef
#

@tacit plank Fairly sure it can

kind anchor
#

I tried to run 134k vert cloth on map as simulating sea waves it was terrible

vocal shard
#

some people thing that because they atlased their model they can now go crazy with dyn bone

#

@tacit plank yes actually

#

there is a button called "merge weight"

umbral oracle
#

I had trouble with bone merging in the past like caffeine it was all or nothing inn paint so it made things look jumpy

vocal shard
#

it will remove the bone and transfert weight to his parent

rigid crescent
#

I didn't know it mattered until recently because there's next to no official statements about it just some angry dudes in a discord channel

umbral oracle
#

It needs to distribute weight to the parent and child

tacit plank
#

There's a "merge bones", but it has a dropdown menu which only lets me select hair

vocal shard
#

@umbral oracle but then you're still doing the spring systems on cpu?

tacit plank
#

Under optimization

rigid crescent
#

really? mine usually has any chains of bones

tacit plank
#

I have the second-newest cats though, not the very newest

rigid crescent
#

maybe they have to be rooted to show up?

tacit plank
#

These bones are black lines, not the usual MMD ones

compact river
#

you can use snap to active with the merge vertex group mod for most of that no?

vocal shard
#

get the newest then

umbral reef
#

Also tuppero
With the optimization work thingy you fella's doing. Will you guys also explain why X is bad and why Y helps?

rigid crescent
#

that's what actually matters. a lot of people would care if they knew what to care about

vocal shard
#

i never used the bone merge from the optimization tab

#

i usually do it manually

#

and fix the weight paint a bit if needed

tacit plank
#

"Merge weights" under model options makes both bones disappear

vocal shard
#

merge weight will delete the selected bones and transfer the weight paint to the parent bone

#

also i agree with you mic

#

it's good that they are sayxing it's bad

#

but they need a why it's bad

kindred nacelle
#

about me and Felix... he's pretty crudely made compared to basically everything else, and I know that he could still be an inefficient clunker

vocal shard
#

people need a reason to do stuff

tacit plank
#

Oh, I'll need to create a bone which replaces the two I have selected though

kindred nacelle
#

all I'm saying is, I'm torn between wearing something special and trying too hard

#

besides, that makes it extra lame if you pick something that shows up all the time

vocal shard
#

just use something that makes you feel comfortable

kindred nacelle
#

(I HATE that all the anime girls have sameface syndrome)

vocal shard
#

cuz it's the same 5 tda base models

kindred nacelle
#

tda?

queen mango
#

But no MMD males

tacit plank
#

Pick anything that you like

vocal shard
#

also add kanna, hoppou and ooka miko to the mix

#

and you get 80% of vrchat

opaque hawk
#

Tda the 3D artist

tacit plank
#

Or do like me and get something unique

queen mango
#

I take slight offense to that, Svel

opaque hawk
#

Completely retexture a head so no one’s know is ____

kindred nacelle
#

I'd go with 2B but the only one i've seen has the blindfold off

#

Kizuna looks great though

tacit plank
#

A few people use this one, but google "Ushimi Ichigo". It does not look like most other avatars

kindred nacelle
#

I don't know how her eyes work but they really look good

vocal shard
#

loli again MaidNoThanks

hasty wedge
#

dont make me cache rip u and put it all up on 🅱rc🅱ods

#

take it back

kindred nacelle
#

"most vrchat lolis" are Kanna let's be real

vocal shard
#

and ooka miko

#

and hoppou

queen mango
#

That sums up VRChat in a nutshell.

tacit plank
#

The only actual loli I can think of is Konko fox chan

median basalt
#

If only the SDK told us that materials, meshes and dynamic bones matter.

hasty wedge
#

ppl rarely use konko now

tacit plank
#

And maybe those few with the broken months

vocal shard
#

konko is pretty rare now yeah

median basalt
#

MMD males are hard to come by, fortunately I found one that suits me pretty well

#

Just can't put it up in public, that's all.

#

Which means a lot of my latest work will remain private most likely

tacit plank
#

Kisaragi and the other models by that guy. As well as those by icemega5

queen mango
#

Oof.

umbral reef
#

Also finally- Companies are throwing the finger towards Article 13 and said they will follow it with harsh rules
They will just block it all for EU to make it clear how shit the law is 👏
Now google- follow your sister company and and amazone/cloudfare throw an ayyylmao after it 👀

tacit plank
#

But that's it. I have standards for lolis, don't scale a boob monster down to midget size and claim to me that you're a loli

median basalt
#

Lol

#

I've seen a "loli" Ran Yakumo that's just Ran scaled down

#

And it looks pretty bad

queen mango
#

That's oppai loli for you

median basalt
#

Not a fan of lolis to begin with tbh

hasty wedge
#

thats not oppai loli at all

median basalt
#

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum

#

Inb4 "you're on the spectrum alright" huehue

hasty wedge
#

ppl think making their model smol is a loli in this game

compact river
hasty wedge
#

but proportions of a adult

compact river
#

Like messed up legs

kindred nacelle
#

I saw a dancer with her twitch url on her butt, but you couldnt read it worth shit because of how textures work

compact river
#

That ar 3/4 the body

kindred nacelle
#

that made me think that you could just put the twitch and twitter logo somewhere visible

#

if your url is the same as your username

queen mango
#

That seems like a risque place to put your url in

tacit plank
#

Only loli Miku I know is "pxch miku", but the hand bones in it are broken

queen mango
#

Ooh? Open Beta?

hasty wedge
#

puchi api miku

queen mango
#

We're gonna need a user counter that tracks the number of Open Beta users

tacit plank
#

inb4 "5"

vocal shard
#

i hope that the beta user actually report the stuff properly this time

#

so they don't push the update with fucked stuff

light saddle
#

^

queen mango
#

Hopefully

lilac swan
#

I assume you're helping with testing then

queen mango
#

Mfw when I don't know how to sign up account to post cannies

When I have time, that is...

vocal shard
#

nah man

umbral reef
#

Having time to play the game- Nice joke zarni nanoadeDAB

vocal shard
#

i'm too lazy to test and do a proper report

lilac swan
vocal shard
#

that's why i'm not hopping on the beta

#

but if you actually take the time to switch to the beta and test it

#

it's kinda expected that you make a proper report

queen mango
#

Last Open Beta memories intensify

#

Damn Avatar sounds bug

lilac swan
#

To me it feels weird to complain about users not reporting bugs while not doing it yourself.

umbral reef
#

To be fair- there aint a lot to report upcomming beta

tacit plank
#

Add chairs back or something, you should get more beta testers

#

😛

median basalt
#

No offense but literally the first thing we reported was broken avatar sounds last time lol

#

I do want chairs back for several reasons

#

I guess "weeks, not months" was not entirely accurate

umbral reef
#

Months not years

queen mango
#

👀

#

It.. Was. Reported?

vocal shard
#

by one guy apparently

#

for me it feel weird that people are getting into the beta to test it, because that's the whole point of it and then not report anything

#

because "someone else probably did it"

umbral reef
#

No one ever reports anything

#

Its the reason why some devs invite power users into special report groups...

vocal shard
#

what's the point in getting into a broken beta then

#

i don't get it

queen mango
#

Could be because they didn't have an account to post cannies

umbral reef
#

Just so they have atleast a group of users they know report problems properly and with enough info

vocal shard
#

it takes like 30 seconds to make one

umbral reef
#

So.. GWcfcThonk
How will they handle all the new reports with the upcomming stuff within the beta? As currently they can barely handle the gates

#

And if users start flooding it even more with user reports... How? What?

ruby needle
#

it can be as simple as additional data / flag

#

that can be seen when checking a single report

#

to.. i dont know

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

umbral reef
#

Still- If a 20 minute tasks becomes 2 minutes
But there are 15x as many reports...

#

Its still more work 👏

vocal shard
#

what if someone get mass reported ?

#

like 60 reports in like 3-4 days

umbral reef
#

And false reports will be a thing as its easier to report this way...

vocal shard
#

how can they know it's real and not some groups trolling someone ?

rigid crescent
#

I'm guessing investigating the user, they already do that anyway

#

all i can think of honestly

vocal shard
#

they invested when you have a big report done for ther user

#

usually with some good proof in the form of the outputlog

#

but now it's literally nothing

#

it's like " yo this guy is cancer, pls ban kthxbai"

#

and nothing else

queen mango
#

They should also invest some time in interviewing the player about it.

vocal shard
#

yeah good luck with that

rigid crescent
#

i mean not really

#

stalking them and waiting for them to fuck up is easy enough

vocal shard
#

they don't ever have enough mod to call them directly in the instance

umbral reef
#

The average VRC user is retarded. We all know that and no one can change my mind on that

rigid crescent
#

truth

queen mango
#

Yea, true

vocal shard
#

nothing to change since it's true

rigid crescent
#

a lot are extremely tech illiterate too

umbral reef
#

Anyone who ever worked in any type of consumer helping role knows what i said is a plain fact

queen mango
#

Means, gathering data is impossible

vocal shard
#

the fact that they are tech illiterate is sad tho

#

they are so gullible

#

you can say any bullshit and they will believe it

rigid crescent
#

yeah, the "fry your gpu" shit rumors being this big is enough proof

vocal shard
#

"yo, don't piss me off or i'll use my crasher to fry your GPU"

#

and then that gullible guy will make a public announcement inside his little discord community

#

"warning, new GPU fryer"

#

and then it spread everywhere

#

until it get in VRCD and i get in trouble for insulting the retards that still spread it and believe it

umbral reef
#

Can we just write these convo;s down

#

so we can paste it

queen mango
#

Which is why you gotta question first if it is true. Then still doubt it when they said so

umbral reef
#

instead of typing them over and over and over and over and over and over

rigid crescent
#

-cough- mitch murder -cough-

queen mango
#

Oof

#

Toga copycat, I think...

vocal shard
#

who is mitch murder again =

rigid crescent
#

i have no clue

#

but i've seen at least two of their announcements show up pasted as images in discords im in

#

lemme find my favorite

umbral reef
#

You know what triggers me the most about these problems?

#

There is legit no way we can help 👏 Or make it less worse

rigid crescent
vocal shard
#

just kick someone that try to start dumb rumors

rigid crescent
#

I berate the people posting them

umbral reef
#

Can we do that @vocal shard ?

vocal shard
#

oh that moron
