but yes, right now, turning them off is a boost
Lol closed beta is a meme now
they heard people moan about them here ๐
Look at this update:3
Cant wait for ik to finally be back to being calculated client side then synched.
Worth keeping in mind that despite using multiple textures, all nameplates share the same materials since they're an integral part of the client.
"Guys this beta was the longest closed beta we've ever had 8 hours open beta is fine!"
the IK stuff distributed turned back on would be sweet for a bunch of reasons
So whilst the other parts may stand, you're not loading 30x20 materials or textures.
Batching doesnt work like that though.
That short time was the most fun I've had in a while since all my friends were excited to actually be able to not tank in big publics
I really think the drawcalls are peanuts compared to other stuff on your screen, checken if people are on your friendlist every frame ... another story
draw calls are the easiest thing to fix on an avatar, but 10 here and 10 there is proportionally insignificant compared to the overhead from the rest of what goes into rendering and moving an avatar
Just turn off avatars forehead
minimizing them is just really good practice
Im pretty sure that drawcalls are causing the big cpu overhead, they get rendered fast by gpu but get passed back to cpu rather slow.
And people with literally 2000+ dynamic bones calculations
But yeah, other stuff obviously affects it aswell, cough cloth, cough dynbones
Had to hide a friends avatar
you can view render time in the profiler, compare it to dynbones, world scripts and other stuff
after spending more time in the profiler and looking and nsight graphs, some drawcalls are really insignificant compared to others
Yes ive done a lot of testing a good while back
me and anubis were some of the first people to do manual atlasing without the tupper method cause it didnt work for us, we tried to do a lot of optimization before cats implemented a lot of optimization feautures.
Ive spent a lot of time looking at my profiler in unity lmao
The current rating system doesn't mention texture size, avatar file size, shader complexity, etc
2000 calculations, surely those would be taken down right caffeine:3
@tacit plank hard to analyze compiled shaders.
unless it's a 5.6 world
the rating system is far from finished
its far from good aswell.
Rating is a joke at the moment.
it's gonna be tweaked here and there
True, but generally pretty means expensive
idk, it's already making people change their thinking
File size would be a nice thing to know, even just during upload.
It got pushed with so many known exploitable issues.
Big bounding box shouldn't give very poor... But probably at least medium, as it prevents culling or whatever
a lot of the severe stuff on avatars is really simple to fix
I'm sure they will tune the weighting and predictions more
Yeah i hope bounds affects ratings less
I'm not a fan of the bounding box thing
In it's current state it only helps people who are already informed and misinforms ones who aren't.
Imo the performance system is just the devs being too lazy to introduce hard limits and get the community to shame each other.
Merge some bones, merge opaque textures, merge all meshes
I agree with 1001 on that. I know a lot of people that have turned round and considerably improved their avatars due to the new system.
I know a lot of people who have done a complete 180 and stopped optimizing completely cause their colliders alone would put them to poor so they dont see a reason to optimize their other stuff higher than poor anymore anyway.
The ratings themselves are far from perfect, but it's brought a lot of valuable awareness regardless.
I think that there should be a rank above very poor, or at least a way to tell "very bad" apart from "10 times above very bad"
I'm somewhat in that boat Sai
its a double edged sword to the max.
the real double edged sword was introducing dynamicbone to the game in the first place
"Lazy to introduce hard limits" You really think that would be a good idea at this stage?
Well the goal isn't to directly restrict freedoms, the best method is to guide users without taking away too much from them.
Why bother making everything excellent/good if one thing puts me at medium?
If it's the worst 3 values averaged, you could have 100k dynamic bones and everything else being perfect, and land on a combined value of around medium
you can still upload a monstrosity, don't forget that, just not on public pedestals and you might get asked to swap to something lean when you're watching a movie with 20 ppl in a room
What would you personally set the limits to? It'd incite riots.
@ruby burrow No it hink its a thing they missed over a year ago
No one wants hard limits lol
I'm hype for a possible dynbone alternative in the future, whatever form it takes
Basically, if you're past the "very bad" limit by multiple times, it should count for more, so that averaging won't save a model with 80+ materials, or 200 dynamic bones with 15 colliders
I heard the creator of dynbone is in the team right?
no
If they weren't so lazy/selective removing publics we'd be in a much better spot
That's a hard nope
Oh XD
Dynamic bone was never meant to be used in VRChat
But there's a thousand other poorly foresighted things they could've done to prevent the state we're in now
To be fair avatar performance was good for a bit, then they introduced cloning and shit went downhill real fucking fast again
making snail markers make any avatar very poor is very oof, but having huge bounds is not great either
No it wasn't
Mandating strict limits would be the lazy option, not the other way round.
They've opted to give the community a chance to moderate itself and foster a better culture for creators.
^
I've not heard of that happening before..
The creator of dynbone is some random lone Chinese indie dev.
Huge bounds might make collision checks scale badly?
@ruby burrow They half ass opted to giving the community a chance without providing proper documentation on their side on how to optimize things.
The vrchat documentation is lacking in big big parts.
Just a guess. In general "very poor" is harsh for a marker though
You have to somewhat provide documenation if you allow everyone to upload content unmoderated to your game.
It's literally just a cheap unity plugin that became popular, and got too big before the devs realised what they were looking at.
Theres no excuse.
normal games have dynamic bones like most avatars have only in cutscenes when there's one player model onscreen .... it's really supposed to do a handful of xforms at most
We didn't even have real optimization info until November
^
Tupper made a nice video on optimization, he should do another one think
Despite the dead horse I've beaten about Tupper providing plenty in 2017 November
tup is love
There was next to no official attempt to inform the community about optimization despite the team knowing about ways to help
he's still doing stuff
the dynamic bones code itsn't bad or slow at all, but it does bottleneck the engine a little due to being completely outside of unity skinned mesh rendering
And the 8 hour beta for the avatar performance patch was the biggest joke ever aswell, that was handled so massively poorly
so it needs to wait
And there was DynBone video made by Tupper that I found while searching the web.. Date points back to Oct. 20, 2017
Howdy
The thread he posted about DB, IK, etc was from November of 2017. You're telling me the team was so short-sighted that they couldn't drop a few "hey too many DB is bad guys...." throguh official channels/guides until LITERALLY a year later? What excuse is there for that lol
Oh hi there
I hate beating that dead horse so often, but it's one of the things that really gets me about how things have been handled
See I can explain my name
There is none, its poor laziness
I mean
I mean mic we know that they are lacking in proper communication skills when things are going on so its no surprise
two weeks ago tupper made a video on dynamicbone
Now we're at the point where unoptimized avatars are pretty normal and people never had those fundamentals drilled into them the same way they did for basic creation.
two weeks ago
Two weeks ago.
Okay so serious question alright
And the year in between nothing happened, theres not a single official thing
Yea.. I heard. Jamie Vatarga told about that to him
If someone makes an avatar against tos, and uploads it as public. And many people clone it
Will the people who clone it get banned?
No
Or only the creator
The creator gets the punishment.
I know this only came recently, with the system update.
Creator, sorry
Wyatt, the creator eill get banned
Okay phew
dynamic bones and having a fuckton of bones being bad was no secret, everybody knew
@graceful timber case by case basis, usually no if the users are oblivious
So I have no worry
But it's not like there's still nothing. That page is linked right next to the upload button.
@vocal shard except only the few who cared about it enough did
so about 2% of the community
Unless you knew exactly what you were doing.
that's it, people figured it didn't apply because nobody cared
And a mod picks up on that
Because there was no official statement on it
Pretty much wyatt
We didn't get optimization guides til November of 2018. THere's a very informative but unofficial VRCats thread where Tupper talks about issues like Mats, DB, the IK, etc and it's from November of 2017. That's an entire year with next to no focus on helping the community understand optimization. I didn't even know DB were an issue until a few months prior when tupper was roasting people for having too many DB in a friends+. No one bothered informing the community. They just gave "creators", who are 99% jsut people who've never touched unity or blender before, tons of tools and power with no information behind it besides "Press these buttons and get avatar!"
and it's fun shaking your avatar in the editor screen and watching everything bounce and twirl
@graceful timber Uh, I would say despite that thing about the creator getting punished, I wouldn't advise running around as naked Hitler thinking you're invincible just because you didn't upload it.
Yeah obviously
The cloning has been a problem since it's very easy to spread toxic / against tos avatars.
Add Blueprint ID blocking, let creators disallow cloning on a per-avatar or per-world basis, punish cloners properly. OK, avatar cloning is fixed.
You're very likely still to be held accountable for any obvious bannable things that you've wilfully chosen to use.
I think the cloning feature could be improved by making it so only avatars from approved public worlds can be cloned.
TO prevent unoptimized and malicious shit.
That's probably pretty hard to do.those IDs aren't connected whatsoever
@graceful timber Man, you seem to know a lot about this stuff.. you've been observing that stuff for months now?
Cloning feature is fun but it has annoyed sone workd creators that wanted specific avatars to be rewards
It would also give a lot of people more motivation to create worlds.
I love the cloning because now I have a tiny pikachu loli that says pika pika.. its soo cute...
I'd rather have a really open and powerful SDK and peer pressure/community moderation than some stupid 'skyrim' type avatar menu
or you get shitty low effort worlds just to put the avatars there
I've been here for shorter than people think
you guys actually experiencing issues caused by the ability to clone?
@vocal shard that get denied.
just curious
"'I think the cloning feature could be improved by making it so only avatars from approved public worlds can be cloned.
TO prevent unoptimized and malicious shit."
I agree with this.
haven't seen much myself
Mostly malicious avatars, Noe
@weary bison Yes in masses LOL
My friend cant even click on people Noe, the menu wont pop up
None so far, Noe.. but I have an issue with the safety system regarding showing avatars in the instance
The wooper, the ybot, tons of meme avatars with screenshake, particles, zoom effects, etc. THey're extremely common
I have to reload the instance for that avatar I want to see to load
2nd that @rigid crescent
@covert linden send an email to support@vrchat.com if it persists after restarting
the amount of kkk, nazi and laggy avatars from larens world that has been taken down for being unoptmized, the amount of earrape, the amount of annoying shaders ive seen since cloning was introduced
@weary bison Okay thank you
holy shizzle dude.
Whilst it's fun being able to casually upload something as public and instantly give it to friends, it really seems to bypass the entire point of curating avatar worlds.
Larens world is down
damn okay
Theres some gems in there aswell, but theres so much annoying shit running around too
Yeah @ruby burrow
Oh the idea for public world avatars only is interesting
the big bird, the racist dot avatar, the "Teach me how to dougie" penguin, TONS of stuff
the big bird was funny at first though lets be real
Avatars like that are funny until everyone is using them
yeah all I've seen is people having fun, sometimes raids but usually the avatars have been tame
I haven't seen any of those ... just fun avatars spreading between friends
I met the person who made the bigbird, at least he claimed to. He said he let people clone it by accident
Sicko mode knuckles with extremely cancerous chromatic Aberration
If it was an accident all he has to do is hit "Private" in the SDK.
Yeah
Its the chair stacking avatars I see cloned alot XD those are always fun
I dont remember the username of who it was
No probs much.. I had fun cloning as a Warhammer 40K soldier
Graelyth put it on public himself, not on accident.
@viscid seal 
XD
Well, the suggestion wouldn't actually stop them having that fun, so long as the avatar came from an approved world.
^
Probably wasnt him then
And joining others in purging he---y... joining in on the fun
I think i might write a canny post about it
It's true people are having fun, but the issue is it's also at some people's expense since not everyone wants to see that shit
Yeah
Someone say purging heresy?
This was suggested day 1 and ron mentioned a lot of difficulty in connecting world and avatar IDs, basically to the point that it'll never happen
An avatar block feature would be nice
@astral cliff Umm, yea
"Guys if you don't like me spamming particles and bass boosted audio just leave publics" Yeah, no.
Bring back block avatars by default as a single button too
It would inhibit my own ability to casually share silly side avatars, but I could deal with that. Can just make a private avatar world for friends instead.
Blocking avatars by Avatar ID is really the best way to solve it, or at least bandaid fix it.
That just pushes more people into privateworlds
Yeah
BLocking avatars by id sounds really really nice actually
yeah that'd be cool
i have some avatars that are public and had to set a disclaimer in my world as people were gesture spamming the crap out of them
Blocking avatars by reputation
Imagine all the shitty world avatars you could block!
How many people have hid that avatar
You wouldn't stay in the private avatar world. It's be just for giving stuff to friends, same as before cloning. '-'
no more larens avatars 
Honig I know you're trolling but it happens in worlds without mirrors lol
Ties into the blueprint id
I myself am always in privates and publics unless I am lonely but if I go and its people everywhere killing my ears I wont stay
then start crying when they get kicked/mass blocked
Certain avatars will be blocked by default by the reputation of that avatar
Not worth it at the expense of others. Ever.
Tbh mirror playing at the pug is better than killing my ears and lagging me
And after a while everything gets blocked and everyone are wondering "What happened ?". ๐ค
Like vrc is a social game for a reason, I join worlds to talk and tell lasagna puns
I've been sitting at tables in the pug and other places and still get my shit spammed by bass boosted garbage from public avatars
I really enjoy some crazy toxic material sometimes. It just fills that spot. But not in publics. Usually only with friends.
That falls back to the overuse issue. These memes are normally funny, some are hilarious
i have no problem with earrape and screenshakes, but gets old when its a looping gesture and the user goes afk
but when EVERYONE starts swapping to that avatar it gets old fast
What's social about bassboosting earrape zoom shaders?
i would probably irl
usually annoying people and annoying avatar go together, and without the avatars they're still annoying ๐
Something else to note. Disallowing cloning of public avatars not from an approved world, would also bring back the ability to distribute special avatars to friends without the risk of them suddenly going viral if someone accidentally leaves their cloning setting on. A lot of people want that back. '-'
Ok so youre saying everyone who goes to the pub should be drinking?
Like I said, it happens in worlds without mirrors, it happens when people aren't at mirrors
I know people who really miss that.
I dont go to a pub irl and spam music on my phone and jump around
Have you seen the adult miku with the gun that you can toggle the laser beam that makes everything bass boosted
Blue/red versions
Have you guys been to club VGL Yet.
The major part is the earraped music
It honestly blows the void out of the water
you can use your little bullshit "real life" pub logic but it goes both ways. Going in to a Pub spamming music on a speaker at 90000 decibles while in people's face is also not socially acceptable
So you're still in the wrong lol
^
Being able to give out avatars with more dramatic special effects to trusted individuals, and control exactly who got them, without the risk of their creations setting the Pug on fire via randos.
Yeah VGL is really well made, the one by Varneon right?
Who plays vrchat with the mindset of "hey. I'm gonna be exactly how I am in real life."
What....
what mic said, it being vr and not irl doesn't mean anything goes, it's a social game
What kind of logic is that? lol
๐
Anyone know where your account credentials are stored in the files of the sdk?
Bad logic
They arent @hidden spear
Youre assuming we cant hear?
Yeah all these retards in public worlds lol
It uses the unity cache
I got tinnitus from irl clubs 
There's zero excuse for people who choose to go into rooms with the intent to be disruptive "for fun", it's just inexcusable
Not the sdk
If people are blasting music and effects, ESPECIALLY effects, it harms vr users eyes
And sometimes my avatar music is 100% up because some lolis make cute sound effects and I forget
oof
Its all not ok just because you wanna have fun
those lolis are part of the problem ๐
Like so do mirror users and their fun is mirrors
Go show your friends "XD FUNNEEE MEEEEME" off in a corner somewhere, and while you're at it actually make sure it's a smaller localized effect
if it's not, just don't do it
NAS avatars... >_>
In friends+ it's kind of a different story, but in publics there's really no reason for it
^^
Global over boosted sound the lot of them.
That moment when you are getting spammed with animations and your oculus menu freezes
^
Screen darkening, distortion etc.

all the screenspace stuff gives you a headache after a while
None of that stuff affects me as strongly as it affects some people, to me it's simply annoying to varying degrees
Depending on how bad, it generally just locks you in place and makes you effectively blind.
but so do badly optimised avatars
You can't really do anything.
I went to a ugandan knuckles map with doki once and the effwcts got so bad I couldnt see and was lagging, literally 7 users were using effects and I couldnt get out easily.That isnt ok for any map
Like I don't get headaches or dizziness or whatever, it's really just a bother so I block people who do it
There are a few avatars that have gone public that over render the menus
@covert linden which one?
Which what?
uganda map
Oh idk the main one I think
My friends and I go there once and awhile for shits and giggles
I only get headaches etc from particular kinds, but otherwise it still makes it very hard to do anything.
Dont safety settings help against these avatars?
they do
yeah, that map is pretty bad shape rn even with broken realtime lights
It's not like desktop play where someone can say, "Lol, that's crazy", and then look away to eat some snacks.
I dont have that reaction because I lag and cant get out
In VR you're just stuck there looking at unintelligible garbage, unable to hear anything but distorted rap music.
Eating with a VR headset on. Challenge. Accepted.
I have an oculus lol
You cant just say its ok so you can have fun, and just tell people not to get vr sucks to suck
Idk The oculus wont work for me, But I know people who have fallen over because its too dizzy
Safety settings can help, but I don't want to wash out my game with standard shaders just because of a few trolls and kids.
So you have to identify, select and block them reactively.
Notice how it's impossible to rip a world from vrchat. How did they do that? Apply that to the custom avatar system
It's not that bad for everyone, it just depends on the person
I have safety settings off
It's not impossible lol
At least until you recognise the avatars in advance.
Its difficult
Mmm I don't think so
I've never seen someone rip a worls
Because it's obvious when you do it vs when you rip an avatar
Oh yeah
Do u have a pc that can run it ?
If I rip an avatar and strip it for parts/prefabs, which is typically why it's done, then it's not as obvious as if I ripped the Pug and tried to reupload it
Petting lolis is worth it
VR is absolutely worth it, but it's an awkward time to buy in.
Mylaptop run it butmy laptops also an ass
Itโs been pretty fun so far for me, u should get it
New stuff just around the corner, but we don't know what yet.
"just around the corner" if you mean waiting a year+ then yes, by all means miss out on something for fear of missing out on something else
You can play other VR games
There's always the option of getting a temporary mid point headest like one of the cheaper WMRs.
Itโs a system that runs a lot of games
@cold saddle the rift just dropped in price again though, $350-450
It was on saale I got oculus foe 470
I really hate those screen shaking disorting ear raping lag causing cancer avatars. I cant do anything at all anymore and it iscrazy disorientating and annoying. Having your whole view full of bullshit is just pure cancer. But then the fun gets even more when some desktop users join the fun and copy that avatar. Not thinking of how damn disturbing and sickness causing it can be for vr users because its "just fun"
The Lenovo Explorer is down to only ยฃ199 in my area now.
CAD
Temporary Ban 4 Years.. Oh phew, at least its only temporary.
I got it for the physical affection
I didnt get banned
:)
It's just a joke.
Fly to America and buy it here lmao
@boreal plaza THat's what we're talking about. If they added blueprint ID blocking, you'd instantly block-avatar on anyone that copies said avatar, from then and forever.
Send your money to Elire and get him to ship you one from Peso land.
It really cant be that hard to make the menu in vrchat non overrenderable.
That would be heaven @rigid crescent
when you said middle europe for some reason my first thought was middle-ages europe
LOL
Lol
Time travel shipping is pricy.
Tupperโs new model looks like if Cirno was from Neptunia
bass-boosted lyre music
lol
An Oculus Rifte costs at least 13 crowns. You could buy a horse for that.
Is tuppers avatar optimised?
very
His new gen cirno
Yeah
It's Medium if I remember right
I've never met him and want to it's not fair
Last I met him I think it's was 1 mesh 1 mat 0 physics.
^
I mean he's a normal dude
I know
People already ripped his model
i need people who are willing to be a tv presenter. young . please join virtual tv studio and dont rouch anything please.
is that you, r kelly?
What
'you wanna be in showbusiness?'
I read that as mirrors.
Can an avarar be a mirror or hold a mirror?
Thought so, i dont want one just curious
you can fake it by just having cameras render to a texture
they still are, but friends only
Yes. Currently only for friends though.
I wish they would make it so you could toggle nametags on your vrchat camera
What for? '-'
My most wanted feature is for hidden nameplates to show up whenever your menu is open, for quick checking.
Squishy, i have screenshot walls in my worlds
So having nametags visible is something i like
Yeah
But steam screenshots are low quality
Mhmm.
Very
I usually only use steam screenshots for snapping crashers.
Nowadays there are no snapping
Or for recording a name for whatever other reason. Usually with photography quality not being a concern.
You piss off a crasher and then you go home without even knowing who it was ๐คท
And people who visit my worlds like it too, when their nameplate is visible
@viscid seal. Open your stream camera (not photocamera) and then take a steam screenshot. it will take a screenshot from the camera's perspecitive, and it will go in your steam snapshot directory, but it will be higher quality due to the stream camera being activated
@cold saddle yes it's the alpha background filter on the camera
True. Although I do still prefer how crashers these days are a bit more subtle, and not quite so brazenly egotistical.
Adeon are the nametags still shown?
greenscreen or transparency background, whichever works better for you
They used to sit around the Pug as their favourite haunt, and just act like a mafia getting to decide who can enter.
With stream camera style screenshots?
@rough nymph it will take a steam creenshot of whatever the stream camera saw. i do'nt remember offhand if nametags are in the stream camera view
@'d the wrong person oops
Ah ok, i'll test that out at somepoint although i use oculus client mainly now
Yeah
But basically Steam screenshots just printscreen the actual VRChat window, which is low quality except when the stream camera is open
But still
Yeah an option to toggle names would be great regardless
yes
Yeah, it's pretty spotty
What's the specific policy on lewd nsfw content on vrchat
Roughly the same as real life rules.
Cause I've seen avatars with questionable....uh
......:toys'....on them
Keep it behind locked doors and no one knows it's happening.
Do it in the Pub, and you'll get locked up.
Nsfw is allowed for private instances only
It's a spotty topic. Just like in real life
General rule of thumb is simply asking, "Might someone report me for this?"
The loading screen says this rule btw wyatt
- Live streaming, advertising or publicly sharing content that is sexually explicit in nature or simulates sex acts is not permitted. Doing so may result in moderation action being taken against your account up to (but not limited to) banning of the offending user account depending on the severity of the act in question.
- Pornography & nudity is not allowed.
So things like merely pulling out a "questionable toy" is fairly unlikely.
If you run around harassing people with said toy, you're more likely to get called up on it.
Ah
Technically... it's not "allowed" in private. It's just not explicitly disallowed.
People need to realize that just because you broke the rules does'nt mean you'll automatically be caught
People ARE gonna do it. You cant stop that without enforcing moderation in private worlds which people would not like. Vrchat is one of the only way for people who wanna do that stuff can.
Rarely do people report others, stream or otherwise.
The main thing about private instances, is that no one but who you allow to know can know it's happening, and thus it's outside of the devs concern or power.
It's just about protecting the public image and legal liability of the game is all.
I mean even if they did moderate it, what are they gonna do ?Quit because they can't erp? doubtful. We've had people claiming everyone would quit over dozens of other actual issues and here we are hitting 10k on a random weekend for no reason
Which is why you're not allowed to stream or broadcast it, even from private.
Lets imagine your heated erp session somehow developed into a ridiculous friendship breaking drama, that pissed off a participant enough to want to take you down.
That's the only way you might get in trouble for whatever happens in an invite only. ^ ^;
Oh! Except for NSFW avatar icons. That can theoretically get you. At least one person in this discord claimed they got banned for that once in the past.
Yeah, and even then they'd have to incriminate themselves
the "Good Samaritan law": "if you're doing it in good intent, you can't be punished by anyone"
"I was only spreading the love officer. These people need love!"
"Just put the blanket on and get in the car ya crazy pervert."
lol that's a bit hopeful
but this law only works if you try to save someone, or stop someone from being hurt. :/
What's the place you suggest vrc features or things again?
The Canny: https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests
Thank chu
๐
Does anyone know if you can attach a vrc camera to a tracker? Both Oculus and Vive?
the trackers are mapped to IK bones and you can attach a camera to any bone, is that what you mean?
No I mean that the camera found in the VRChat menu
ah the personal cam, other than picking it up I don't think so
Ah okay, might try making a canny suggestion and see what people think
@languid beacon I thought I was special for a second. No one ever @'s me. NO, DONT @ ME.
is it me or now people joining in worlds and blocking everyone ๐ค
just you lol
So my idea for touching avatars in a new way works and it's glorious. ๐
been in the box a bit to find some people to report and there was a vote kick on the one who blocked everyone
#forevertheyarealone ๐คท
If you hide someoneโs avatar it only applies to the person, so if another person clones that same avatar their avatar wouldnโt be hidden. That should be changed
Yeah we were talking about blueprint blocking earlier
THere's some decent arguments for blueprint blocking being the default, that way you can just Show Avatar on friends and others who you do want to see using it, but there's probably some weird logistics to that. Odds are if you're blocking the avatar your problem is with the avatar itself, not the person.
https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/blocking-specific-avatars
there's a feature request for it
so upvote it if you think it's an important thing that should be added
We need ID blocking and in general, avatars should only be cloneable if they have been approved inside a world
So much unoptimized or malicious stuff is being spread around lately, the Frozone is back too
I've seen avatars with 54 meshes and 2700 dynamic bone transforms, then watched in horror as half the lobby cloned into it and had to hide all of them
THey've mentioned attaching worlds to IDs being somewhat difficult
or not possible with the current infrastructure
Yo
"Avatars are not linked in the database to a world"
Also there should be a Cloning for only friends option instead of having anyone have it
That'd probably require a lot of extra work too, but that's from what little i've heard of them talking about blueprint ids and what they are/aren't associated with
If you only want a select few to copy it, either tell them that and share in private, or just give them the unity project, or upload it for them
It would be more convenient if you can share a model with your friends quick and easy like that
I feel like it would be a simple thing to add
Yeah but it wouldn't have to work like that necessarily
They could have the optimization bot also set a flag on every avatar it checks which then makes it cloneable
a
A flag for what?
A "can be cloned" status
@frozen trout is there going to be a video and/or tutorial again? I am very interested :3
they can barely have the bot check an avatar correctly though
Vrchat is full of creeps
Just block or mute them
Whaaat no its not
VRChat possible to find love?
Yes
I wanna fall in love just for the sake of falling in love. And only in VR love, not for real love.
Have like shy quiet girlfriend to follow me around aimlessly and be by myside.
Thats called a pet
that is a pet
Or a robot
Well, not quite because I want to grope her too.
thats called success
You can't grope your pet. That's just weird.
Thats sexual assault
you do u man
Ok but thats not real love thats fake love if its vr only
So youre not falling in love at all
just find some mute desktopper then
You cant fall in love only online its not how it works
And you would not love someone if you want to just grope them and have them follow you around like a pet
^
That is FAR from love lmao
That is plain abuse IMO
right now the market is saturated in mute desktoppers, so go wild i guess
Lmao true tho

Don't look for love in VRChat
So you can't pretend VR love is real, completely separating VR from reality?
Its called a mobile loli
Pretending tho is different from falling in love
I can pretend to eat doesnt mean im getting full
i pretend to love myself
I want to fall in love with a character, not a person beyond the character. Is it possible?
Lots of people like to hide their appearance behind an attractive Avatar.
Everyone trying to be sexy on vrchat
to be fair knuckles avatar are pretty hot
ok, it really sounds like you should find a mute desktopper 
Is it possible for two strangers to be perfectly committed to each other in a VR game, without real life committment?
Im already sexy irl so no need for that online 

I mean you can genuienly fall in love in vr not a big deal cloaked
Nx just need some rp
^ he needs that erp
@rough nymph Technically yes- Realistically no your looking for a robot my dude
Don't look for love in Vrchat @rough nymph
Is there AI built into this game that I can build a relationship with?
Not all people
Where you trying to go with? I'm curious and worried about what you're trying to look for
Im both an asshole ingame and irl
!
Idk what fake people youre with but my group of friends is all real
You seem to hate every aspect of vr that youre blinded man
Is VRChat mostly played by crossdressers and traps?
But like I have a genuine friend group, Ive known some out of game for awjile they all act the same. Maybe different for confidence reasons but theyre not hiding their idenity
But cloaked= When is someone not fake then?
is it possible to do something good like find friends and get some pats and hugs in vrchat as mute desktoper?
why do you continually fall for their bait
just ignore them, let them spew bile, and move on
@proud tulip yes
Its fairly hard but why could ya not
you should know by now this is all they do
mute desktopper 
aww yis
Vrchat is played by some weebs,
Otaku, socially awkwardness, people looking for social interactions, and others
But you play
I don't spend my entire life on this game.
I for one value having my identity secret
Remember the last....dozen or so times they've done it?
Too busy with IRL stuff and jobs
Is there currency in this game yet?
I do but I wasnt involved so I assumed it was just being extra
@rough nymph lolis is currency
sometimes in vrchat i pretend like my hands are real
No, but there is Vrchat prostitution
Is it free?
What's the point?
@zinc solar whaaaaat
I guess helps people bust a VRNut
Is that serious
A virtual nut?
...
Yeah there's actually some people offer Erp 4 money
...
Ok that's weird. Well, I don't want a prostitute loli, I just want a normal one to follow me around and meow at me.
Make an avatar with a loli on the shoulder
But then she would be dead, because I can only control me, and if I'm control me, then who is controlling her?
@rough nymph I follow random people. ๐
bait talking with bait 
Do you? You would be all I ever wanted!
Quiet Mic. Having a casual conversation
Double the bait talking..

You're one to talk. I scheduled a date and wanted to surprise you by not telling you and you never showed up
And Mic thinks everyone is a troll. Probably has the tin helmet with antannae and aluminium suit thing going as well. Clearly they are being pursued.
...
Hey no need to make fun of people
Im a troll
No youre a goblin
Mic is actually very active
im a verified shitposter
Mic ur cool
I'm a verified complainer
@rigid crescent Join the game ๐
Same for you @indigo fern
It's pretty easy to tell when someone is trolling, but if you're not NX then I'm concerned for your well being and you should let your parents know there's something troubling you.
Trolls are like the Illuminati of the internet in this day, I suppose that's enough to fear them.
Mic that sounds like you're insulting him
I'm in my mid 30s.
Mic has a fair point
dear lord
Oh no. Fbi..
You're being awfully condescending toward someone you don't quite know! It's endearing.
@rough nymph ... Wat
I like how you guys complain about me complaining about Erp and you say don't judge. But now it looks like someone is judging this guy's age?
He mentioned lolis..
I have a love for people who love to hate, it's never-ending entertainment and amusement.
:y
ok so how to find friends who will give you headpats as mute desktoper?
...
People have their Kinks. So long as it doesn't turn into IRL stuff I don't judge
Be cute HarDKitty
do u know how to make avatars Hardkitty
Havent you kinkshamed many times in this chat cloak
Anime glorifies lolis way too much with 90000 y/o lolis
Middle-aged men are actually more fun to hang out with. Mature, great sense of humour, and less drama.
Mid 30s, guy
Yeah but it's only for Erp, and I have a valid reason
no i dont want to learn SDK.. but i do have kitty avatar
@twin jacinth Also in what world are you 
Tried to join ya b ut you where not in the world even though the friendslist said you where (world list didnt so)
Hey there 
On the flip side, Bad Dragon is a thing. Have you seen the size of those things?
Erp is illegal if its underage
If you don't know what a Bad Dragon is, I will heavily advise you not look it up.
tone down the sexual stuff guys
Yeet me an invite then dude
... ... ...
Just think of a really mean Spyro
Ash you don't know much do you?
I know legalities
But Doki
Hmmmm
Doki is a potato
cuddling isnt sexual Nass its okay
But I'm na...
I once came across a 14 year old girl who openly ERPs with an 25 year old guy during one of my commissions
Most of you are older men. Let's just get that clear here.
Naturally tall
Cool cloaked bht its also illegal
Apparently it's not so long as it's in vrchat.
What's "ERP"
Whaaat im not an old man im 18 in some days
Erotic Role Play
...
15 days nowww
It's basically people air humping on this game
Is that even allowed
No
Yeah when I hide an avatar, I want to hide that avatar. If the person switches out, I would prefer I see their new avatar than they stay hidden.
Sure it is in private worlds
i think it has a canny
it does
Just don't go making lewd stuff at some strangers in pubs... Welp I think it's like real life!
I'm sure those middle-aged men who takes advantage on underaged girls has a broken marriage to fix.
Mic you ready for tonight's date?
๐
Well, that subject went serious.
Doki will you go on a date with me?
Good job.
sure
ez mode bois
Yay! I don't have a broken marriage but I'll cuddle with you anyways


...

How many of us here are true weebs, and how many are phonies?
shh u saw nothing Ash
Don't worry about Ashs. I'm your new date
Well... my experience today in FBT: FBT started spazzing out like crazy and being stubborn to fix. Right in the middle of a dance. Great.
To become a true weeb is no simple task.
I'm a phony btw
oki
No I'm going out with ash after Mic
phonys are cuties
๐ฑ
Amazing!
After mic and ash date, Doki is next
...
Oรญ!
yus
AAAAAAAAAAA
Can you date me, silently?
Sure
im building my harem
...
sooo Avysse...
Harem ... Heard that word before.
who is "phony"?
I think it's an anime genre or somethin.
what is it?
My vrlife is an anime genre
A... Harem
Frikandel broodje @twin jacinth
superhero
I thought it was just us...
Doki has a big harem
A Harem (noun): a collection of things the owner would like to needlessly violate and torture

Its okay ash is just a housewife
I thought I could make him ditch you
...
Omg I did not say that
GASP



.
Nass do u wear socks
Me and Ash will have a date in my Karaoke bar map.
I dont go to bars
No I don't I wear stockings

Do you wear garter belts with a lock and key?
Man ur gonna get clapped if a mmod sees lol
No
Oh
Nx
.
Secret
@dark narwhal I think Ashs is being mean
NO
She is just confused
Yes?>
๐ค
Help me
I mean, hello, this is not who you were talking to, but someone else.
Hey someone else, I hope your evening is well
Same
O whatever time you're in
Same as your
Well have a good evening then.
Itโs 1:38pm for me ๐

.................
Avysse do you need a hand with all those periods?
..no
btw, you didn't hear anything coming from somewhere else in your home just now did you? Who puts a vase right here, jesus...
You're dropping them all over
Well seeing as I'm alone just me and my wine I do hear things
But I'd welcome any company be it ghosts or even.. Cloaked Schemer

What's wrong with me? Because I don't agree with the creepy side of VRChat? Because I'm against what people use for peer pressure?
That's a shame, I was expecting you would say you had a sig sauer buttoned up and ready, now I feel like a prick for bringing this missile cannon
You're the meanest person on here and I like it
Vrchat is like my escape for once im not alone so if people say its shit and everyones fake its kinda mean
Who said that?
Not mean, I'm generous and friendly. Lots of people love me for me, you honestly don't know me outside this general chat
Those are illegal words.
You are absolutely right
Who is absolutely right?
Maybe I will some day
Cloaked
I'm not sure about the cannons .. I'm not good with violence
Nassachi, listen to me, whatever they said to you, don't forget that you have to be the best you can be.
Don't give up, my friend.
... Nice
Wah that's a lot of pressure
It's a cold and lonely dark world out there. Bring your cloak.
Heehee
Ow the edge
gives you a jewel-hilted dagger.
Don't RP here
I'm afraid to joke with Schemer he will just get serious with me and say mean things
E d g e
Nah, I'm laid back. Stop thinking you know me
See?
I think I might not know you Cloaked.
I agree nass
Your favorite color is gray?
Id date cloaked

Thats because youre making a big harem
tru
Too lazy to make a Harem.
Why are you making a harem? Why do you not already have one established? Do you know how much time has lapsed since the definition of a Harem was brought into existence?
I'm the type of person who would drown a fish.
i had one....
woah
Leah id join ur harem
hi leah
I thought everyone had at least twelve Harems by now.
Ur already in my harem
Drowning a fish?
Oh really? Awesome
VRChat Harems are kinda stupid. It's like people watch so much anime, they need to turn everything into a hentai version of it
I thought I was your prsonal hoe I didnt knkw I was in a harem
Or men
mmmhh men
VRChat Harem = one girl, and several mutes/traps
and women if you wanna be cool like me
@zinc solar no dissing our harems. Also leah and I are friends outside of vrchat so dont succ my toes
Invite me to your ERP Harem if you must. I'll bring the drugs candy and we'll have a real party.
@zinc solar I'm mute.
Leah ily
im mute
Mutes are the best traps.
Can't afford a mic.
What about the traps?
traps are best

Agreeed
Wait ... Mutes = traps?
Mute Trap > Loud Pretentious NarcissistTrap
I've actually never spoken in here so this is nice
Almost a lot of mutes are trap
I invited you so long agooo
Perfect excuse
Ill just tag you more when funny shit happens
.... ummm
That sounds sweet.
Like when people ask if anyone here plays vrchat
It's okay ily @vocal shard
That's why I love mutes
Well, do people who work for Nasa actually go into outer space?
Or do they stage the whole thing
You just accept them as their avatar
Computer stuff
Bottom line is, people who play in VRChat could be faking it the whole time.
When someone in VRChat tells you they love you, its all lies.
You just found that out?
I love everybody you're just mean
I know couples who have been together and met IRL. Through vrchat
Sure
Were the both straight males?
Maybe you only like the gross side of vrchat since u talk about it so much
Nah, I just find the 'gross' side disgusting and unhealthy
The Dark Side of VR Chat?
Searching for negatives
It's called ERP
There is a dark side
But out of that topic
What's wrong with that?
I love everybody
Leah ily more
No ily more
NO ILY MORE
I agree with cloaked but I try not to say it
Sometimes when two people love each other very much, they rent a hotel and they play videogames with each other for hours on end.
I don't mind any side of vrchat as long as I'm having fun.. That's really all the game is there for isn't it
"Several people are typing..."
In my opinion VRLove is hard to define because you love the avatar the person represents and the personality they attached to it. As most people usually compel a persons appearance based on a digital voice, and small interactions
I agree leah
This used to be a dead chat 10 mins later woah
Is there a reason ... Why almost everyone here is edgy
I love everybody platonically
Idk I vrchat dated and there was a lot of video calling and like actual stuff its legir the same as any other online relationship?
Leah my cousin dmed me bc she wa concinced you loved her romantically and i laughed so hard
I know I TOLD HER THAT
Ashs stop bringing up the excuse of "Well I know this and that happened ONCE, that means it happens all the time"
ITS NOT A PHASE MOM
@zinc solar I was in a group with dozens of other couples tho?
Y'all realize this is a stupid argument to have right
Makes me question how every counter argument is "this happened"
Probably true I just need cuddles leah
Yes of course ily
Ok perfectill send u some cute gifslater ;)
They're just arguing about if you actually can love someone over vrchat
I love my family over VRchat
I am the reason why everyone here is eggy. I brought these chickens, and they can't stop popping these eggs out of their bung, who wants a chicken for a pet, not to make soup and crackers? Only one hundred billionths of a penny!
i love my avatar...
It's like you saying "people never really get pregnant on this game" and I say "well my friend was pregnant when she met someone on this game"
Thats nothing like it..
Is this all about Online Dating?
Ehhh, poor example. but close.
I don't really think other peoples love lives should really matter to you if it's not your relationship..
@zinc solar that is not close at all
Get pregnant, and being pregnant are the same exact thing?
dating in VRChat?
You can love someone.. If you really stop being judgemental and calling everyone a trap
it's accurate though
Its not tho
Sex in VRChat causes the stork to come before anything happens, so maybe its not possible.
No because people date when they meet on vrchat THEN branch out..
I bring something up and apparently Ash experienced almost everything from "my friends" perspective.
Do you feel lonely sometimes...? I do...
She said people can meet after having dated on vrchat for a while. That's not even close to "getting pregnant in-game"
I dated on vrchat wym
:y
What if she got pregnant from the video game itself
lol thats impossible
While she was sleeping at night one night, the video game...erected arose and assaulted her
Only bringing up because anything I bring up you counter with "WELL MY FRIEND DID THIS"
Because I know people, But I also know I dated in vrchat
Makes you question the legitimacy
what a conversation lol
Sure you do
She dated on vrchat herself and had a good connection with the guy she was with.
Its better than your "random strangers do this!"
all we have is your assurance
๐ฃ you're doing it again ash
Like I said, this is a stupid argument to have.
lol
I am a fish but I dont like people who dont have common sense
Mic, you too. Assuming everything I say is bait.
Who is having an argument? It looks like a bunch of people are just talking about a bunch of things.
"Are you even real"
"I think you're not"
"Ok if you're not a catfish send a pict"
So people are arguing about Online Dating.
fish and bait were brought up so close together I assumed this was a conversation about dishing
It's easier if you ignore it and let them be wrong, that way they have nothing to talk about.
Pics or it didnt happeb
fishing
It seems like cloak and ash are having a disagreement over something that doesn't really matter in the first place
the internet doesnt exist change my mind
that's the best disagreement
Crap u rite ^
lmao
VRChat is Online Dating 2.0
wait what
Ohh yeah "let them be wrong" because you need your 'safe space' of thinking everything you think is right.
Not only do you get to talk, but you get to go to bed together anywhere you want.
myspace but with lolis
Omg perfect
I didn't know
Hahaha
The internet is just a big web of lolis
Ohboi
Ash some women are grown-

Are u sure
Is lolis a bad thing?
Darn
grown as in big lolis?
yes big lolis
It's not a safe space, you are just literally wrong.
Lolis are a good thing. They are an excellent tool to bust predators and lolicons alike.
doki let's sneak off and erp while they argue
Am I a big or little loli
oooohh 
Whatever helps you sleep Mic.
oki
ok
Yeah, lolis are bad. I had a few ERP commissions for loli avatars
I help mic sleep
anybody wanna rp or talk with me in VRChat?
I don't sleep ๐
