I heard there's a weekly event that's held in Open Mic Night
#vrchat-general-2
jaunty plover
I'm already going to that one, but just to watch. No where near that confident yet
queen mango
Oof.
jaunty plover
Just wanting to perform anything in front of someone is a huge step already XD
queen mango
Relax and breathe easy when you're onstage. It'll help ease you up for when you're about to perform
But don't get too carried away with the singing since it's easy to go off-pitch
tiny ginkgo
Hey @jaunty plover that sounds awesome. It's really brave of you, I hope you do good
tiny ginkgo
Try the #avatars-2-general channel
latent arch
idk
tiny ginkgo
It's a video playback system for Unity
I guess it's something that shows up if you've been in worlds with video players? Not sure..
warped dew
the great pug has a video player?
cause i'm trying to find the point i was disconnected
vocal shard
not that im aware of
warped dew
in the vrchat logs
queen mango
I don't think the Great Pug has any video player I've known of
rigid crescent
the audio is streamed, isn't it?
plush osprey
welp people have been muting and blocking me for no reason so if you just feel like blocking someone i'm that guy~ my name is the same in Vrchat too
safe prism
it used to have a video player
was a secret little room you could pull yourself into about 20m above and just beside the stage to turn it on
but it's gone now
queen mango
It's locked behind the vault, I believe
Which is behind the curtains on the ministage
brisk umbra
don't you guys just like it when your internet is like nah fam we are upping your ping
umbral reef
That's most often the time where I call
Treathen to swap
If it isn't fixed I send them the cancelation email and I actually swap and watch while they try to fix it still
rigid crescent
I'm sure there's a reason you're being blocked tbh
tiny ginkgo
Wait how can you simply "up" someone's ping? Is that a thing?
I thought ping was a relative thing
brisk umbra
no my internet is being shit right now so i am getting bad ping right now xD

Guys who had cs go?

Does anyone know the avatar that shoots himself with a gun and slowly falls down to the ground while the song only time plays its an emote i need the animation for that death if anyone has it
iron thunder
yo. I just made a video where I tried to force people into loving each other.. cause valentines day is coming up. Is "MAKING LOVE IN VRCHAT" too lewd of a title?
umbral reef
Sounds like normal Yt clickbait tbh
vocal shard
That sounds like a crime
tiny ginkgo
Don't forget an ahegao anime girl in the thumb and you're set
vocal shard
so, who is developing some sort of neck pain from wearing vr headset? ( i play like 2 hours, most days, but sometimes i take a pause of about 1 hour and a half, then play 2 more)
i don't know if it was my old job that broke my neck or if its oculus lol
pure hemlock
My necks fine but I swear wearing the Vive every night is causing my cheeks to sag a bit and give me dark circles under my eyes >_>
Butttt that could also be the fact I am staying up late every night playing VRChattttt.... lol
vocal shard
dark circles? lack of sleep
pure hemlock
I'd rather blame it on technology instead of my own bad habits tho
vocal shard
i asked my friends, and they play like 8 hours straight daily
and their neck is fine, i think it was my old job
cursive skiff
Anyone else have the issue with the vive straps not fitting around your head properly? I can’t seem to find any adjustment straps either
vocal shard
my friend, literally half an hour ago
pure hemlock
Deluxe audio strap ftw... Super easy to adjust
vocal shard
was swearing at his vive velcro strap
umbral reef
@vocal shard Gotta take breaks man
Adding a few kilo's on ya head aint normal
Try wearing a kilo's on your feet or hands daily
You will get muscle pain also then
tiny ginkgo
Maybe you should wear one of those neck things you use on a flight to sleep
vocal shard
the past 2 weeks i am focusing more in blender/unity, i'm not playing much
pain is even worst, i think tomorrow i'll go to my doctor to have it checked
tiny ginkgo
Well remember proper posture when working on your pc, vr or not
languid beacon
@vocal shard let me guess, vive? Vive is pretty heavy
Oculus feels like wearing maybe... 3 stacked baseball caps
twin jacinth
it varies from person to person just like how sleep works
you just have to test it and see how long you can go, if it starts hurting take breaks
vocal shard
Does anyone know the avatar that shoots himself with a gun and slowly falls down to the ground while the song only time plays its an emote i need the animation for that death if anyone has it
rough pulsar
If you can handle the extra weight, adding a small counterweight to the back of the headstrap on the vive can improve the balance and reduces the pressure on parts of your face (it gets moved to the top of your head instead)
hardy seal
pretty sure that avatar is one of lolathons personal avatars not sure you can get it anywhere unless someone made a copy of it
vocal shard
@languid beacon I'm sure vive and rift weight the same now. the first year vives were heavier, but they both weigh the same now since 2017. More a headstrap issue probably.
stone current
can also put a balloon on it lolo
vocal shard
Does anyone have a suicide emote
viral token
does anyone know if there is a omega ruby Courtney model for vrchat? and if so in wich world can I find it?
vocal shard
@languid beacon oculus
rigid crescent
Yeah, weight is definitely the same. THe weight distribution is what's different
cursive skiff
Got a question for y’all, don’t know why but hell I love the scare jester skin way too much dunno why since it’s such a basic avatar but! I’m looking at loosing weight and cosplaying as said jester cause fuck it! Why not? Make the mask outta steel and sew up the rest of the coat can’t be too hard
So what do y’all think about that?
That’s my question lol forgot I was asking one...
vocal shard
You can do whatever 
If it helps immersion, go ahead. We'll never know
cursive skiff
KEK AHAHAH no I wanna do it cause I’m into costuming, I wanna do it for fub
Fun* not for immersion or something just a costume to wear to comiccon etc
vocal shard
Hm.

coarse anchor
Well i cant join any world as they dont load
rigid crescent
you get looped?
timid orchid
you may need to set your spawn to something else in the settings for vrchat
When i had about 12 hours on this game I had that issue
vocal shard
World wont load for me neither
topaz thicket
when is the eye tracking gonna be fixed?
vocal shard
Next patch. It was just disabled to fix an exploit
languid beacon
It’s already fixed just a matter of when they release the update
stone current
^ in beta
languid beacon
...yes
I mean things can be fixed even if they’re not released in beta yet as well :p
stone current
yea saying it fixed in the beta
probably
could still be working out a few things
languid beacon
I just want the networked ik back
stone current
^
languid beacon
It really helped my framerate as I’m lower end
languid beacon
I don’t like so much the idea of putting too much stuff over bandwidth it reduces the overall quality
IK makes sense
Predone animations not so much to me...
Oh wait. STATES
Yeah that’d be cool if states could be synced
stone current
yea states as in
it would only send the current state
and it would only send this state when u first load the animator
and also when the state changes just in case to keep it synced
but obv will be capped/buffered
rocky palm
Are you familiar with this occurence, your connection has timed out? Do you what is causing this problem. It has prevented me from staying in any world I go to!

Who do we ping to report a hacker?
rigid crescent
no one
https://puu.sh/CIn06/e814ba524e.png there's a channel for it right there on top
silver jacinth
Oh yeah thanks
the thing is that
it's pretty urgent, it's a situation happening right now
silver jacinth
A dude is going into worlds and kicking everyone, I think he's DDOSing them or something
I couldn't send a screenshot, I got kicked before I could
stone current
- so what
- report
silver jacinth
I did, but there is no report for hacking
silver jacinth
not that much info, i'm not gonna bother if I can't contact someone directly
stone current
ok then dont bother 00f
stone current
no
u being like "oh i need help immediately"
for something basically normal in vrchat in some public worlds
silver jacinth
yeah because there's a dude speedhacking/flying and kicking everyone on sight while being hateful as hell on public servers, if that's normal then you have a pretty bad definition of normal
stone current
is pretty normal
silver jacinth
right, whatever
stone current
happened to me several times on the box just report them and move on
silver jacinth
coolio
sullen olive
eeyup unfortunately a very common occurence you can just report them with the links above or ingame
Blocking them sounds like a good idea aswell
umbral bone
how does everyone do these cool animations and stuff?
umbral bone
uhh..
queen mango
You may wanna change the pfp before someone else clocks you and you get the boot as a result
jaunty plover
I'd say the self-harm reference is probably worse than pepe 🤔
but anyway, happy whatever day it is fams! Hope you're having fun adventures in the cyberworld
queen mango
Yea.. but, wasn't Pepe viewed as some sort of hate symbol nowadays?
jaunty plover
no clue, will leave that up to informed people
I think it depends on the context
in the same way that "uganda knuckles" skin isn't racist until you start doing tongue clicks and a fake south african accent
umbral bone
there
jaunty plover
but that's personal opinion I think
queen mango
Dunno, but there are some people in this server who won't take it well with Pepe..
Like.. very well
jaunty plover
in general rule of thumb for me is default to whatever staff says about something XD and if that differs from rules, take it up in DM respectfully
queen mango
@umbral bone Yep, that's much better now.
umbral bone
this dude is playing music and there are effects all over my screen how do i do that
queen mango
@jaunty plover I see.. though, the rule I specified was made by a higher-up in this Discord. I think everyone went with it.
jaunty plover
you get some toxic avatar that plays them XD
it's why anyone who isn't okay with getting blinded, seizured and tinnitus'd disables animations, particles and sounds for non friends
queen mango
It also hurts your framerates, I believe
hardy seal
technically pepe is registered as a hate symbol by the adl because 4chan but pretty much everyone but the adl thinks its dumb
umbral bone
where do you get them? lol
queen mango
jaunty plover
I wouldn't tell you if I knew tbh XD
queen mango
Don't wanna ask. Lotsa people tend to stay away from those
umbral bone
i want to publish something on unity but it says im not allowed
jaunty plover
Usually avoid even discussing negative stuff, but I feel like the people who go from room to room blasting that kind of stuff actually are pretty miserable after the initial rush of annoying some people. Imagining the psychological effects of almost everyone in every room you go into hating you makes me sad
queen mango
@umbral bone Were you just starting out in VRChat?
umbral bone
Yes.
queen mango
It'll take some time before you reach "New User"
In the meantime, try visiting worlds, and make conversations with people there.
umbral bone
Ok.
jaunty plover
be kind to everyone, ignore/block people acting toxic, talk to friendly strangers
molten hornet
is there a way to know how many Friends you have?
true sky
Vrchat home as far as I know

shows on the website and in game
molten hornet
@stone current I couldnt Find it in either one can u explain more?
@true sky where at in the home
true sky
Should be on the right near the hub portal
stone current
theres a code to do it in the inspect element console
if ur on the website
document.querySelectorAll('.css-jx8i2v').length;
but it only shows the amount on the current page of friends
idk how to get all
molten hornet
I'm Just trying to Figure out why I got Deranked to Green randomly

Not that i know of i have 1244 total Friends , and 870 hours on the game

Standing in vrchat sucks. I can only play standing up 4 hours max
cyan rapids
It's been a super long time since i was last here, but from what i've read there's some sort of ranking system now?
cyan rapids
yeah, i kinda haven't played since early may
queen mango
Lotsa other things have changed too, but welcome back to VRChat
vocal shard
Yeah, it changes your colour of your name plate, and affects the safety settings. People can choose block certain things like particles, shaders, animations based on the ranks
queen mango
Ah yes, the Safety Settings.. that came along with the revised ranking system.
cyan rapids
ah, how does it affect safety settings exactly
queen mango
Apparently, if you disable certain settings, you won't see those said settings in your game
vocal shard
Like you can choose certain things you like to disable from other's avatars. Be it for better performance or whatever. And you can select what is disabled by what rank
queen mango
It's meant for security against bad shaders and such, but nowadays is used to improve performance.
cyan rapids
ah,that's actually quite helpful
vocal shard
And then you have the ranks:
Visitor
New user
user
Known user
And trusted
By default, your personal settings are set so more is enabled for other players as their ranks go up, but you can customize it how you want
queen mango
The Friend rank only appears when you add someone to your Friends list, of course
It's the Yellow rank
cyan rapids
ah, so in all reality each rank doesn't really have special benefits over other ranks?
queen mango
Personally, I have avatars disabled for Visitors and New Users.. and Shaders, and Lights and Particles for all ranks except Friend
Yes.. aside from the umm... recognition value.
vocal shard
The only thing is visitors can't upload yet.
queen mango
Oh, and there are two hidden ranks that are only accessible.. if the player in question is a continual disturbance in the servers he/she visits
One rank sees you being muted, the other sees you being both muted and blocked
cyan rapids
ah
cyan rapids
yeah xD
queen mango
And aside from that, you can also display your current status now
You can type what you want in said status
Though it only shows up properly if you're online
Regarding that, both you and your friends can see each other's statuses
cyan rapids
wow alot really has changed xD
vocal shard
Also upgraded to unity 2017 
cyan rapids
oooo
wait...if it went to unity 2017 does that mean to upload custom avatars i would have to use a unity 2017 build of unity
vocal shard
Yeah, 2017.4.15f1
cyan rapids
ah....and smooth framerates are a good thing
vocal shard
Luckily, they updated this one in a way so most of our old models came over easily without reuploading. Some animations still need to be re-uploaded though
Oh yeah! One of my favorite things is turning isn't linked to frame rate anymore
cyan rapids
i take it turning is something with vr?
rigid crescent
Turning as in turning, like spinning
cyan rapids
ah
rigid crescent
even out of VR
queen mango
I believe things like turning and rotation were there since the mid-late months of 2018
Or maybe 2017, I think?
cyan rapids
i didn't really start playing the game until like early 2018, i mean i tried it out at the end of 2017 but left for awhile but came back once i had gotten a new laptop, only for that to break and after i got my current one i played for awhile then stopped
queen mango
But yea.. stuff still stuck in 5.6.3p1 like rotation and lights will be broken in 2017.4.15f1 if they aren't updated
cyan rapids
guess i should download unity 2017 xD
queen mango
Yep you should.. It's in the VRChat website.
Speaking of which.. I first tried out VRChat back in May 12, 2018.
Times were a little bit different; Ugandan Knuckle raids were still there although becoming less frequent in number, the second Hub was once the other place where you could meet people
cyan rapids
right around i guess late february is when i REALLY got into the habit
because that had been when i got my current laptop
queen mango
Oh... for me, a laptop with a core i5-8250U and 940MX was all I played VRChat with, ever since I started the game
cyan rapids
my laptop isint the best out there but at least it runs
queen mango
Same here...
Now, I was thinking of upgrading to a desktop PC with a core i5-8400 and a GTX 1070 with 8GB of DDR4 RAM
That would also mean buying a motherboard which can support Intel CPUs
cyan rapids
i was going to save up for a gaming pc...but i kinda need a job for that
queen mango
You could start now by saving up
cyan rapids
yeah, but once i get a job (eventually) it will be alot easier
queen mango
I see.
Oh and umm.. you feeling like you want to buy a VR headset?
Cause this game made me want to
queen mango
You'll get used to it when that time com- oof
cyan rapids
like, i can barely be in a car sometimes without having a headache and feeling nauseous. so as much as i'd love vr i don't think i could handle it without getting really ill
wow unity is installing pretty darn fast. http://prntscr.com/mhq7vb
like i started the installation not even a minute or two ago
queen mango
Pretty much depends on the connection speed and place you're in..
Mine took me about 4 mins to download
cyan rapids
wait http://prntscr.com/mhq8kk is it removing my one from before
because even thought vr chat doesn't support the previous one i still use it for other games xD i don't want it removing my previous projects or anything
queen mango
Oh, another small thing I forgot to mention, both the loading screen and music got changed
neon flume
It shouldn't remove the previous one, especially if you're installing it through the hub. I have both installations and the hub is intended to help developers who need to work with multiple versions of unity.
vocal shard
You can have multiple versions. I have 3 versions of unity
queen mango
You can still find the old music in both YouTube and Blue-kun's Home map.. It's called "Partially Offline"
cyan rapids
...and if im not using the hub
vocal shard
I'm not using the hub
queen mango
You can set which Home you want to spawn in when you next login
Plus, you can also favorite up to 16 avatars now!
In addition to favoriting worlds
neon flume
I'm nostalgic for the old loading screen but I don't miss it. The new one is better imo.
Yeah I think the unity hub just makes it easier to manage your multiple installations and keep them a little more organized.
cyan rapids
ah, it concerned because i use the unity 5 one for when im modding yandere simulator,so i have alot of stuff in a project on that version
queen mango
There's also been an increasing awareness about avatar performance, so you may want to know if your avatar is optimized or not.
Not to mention you can also check your avatar perf. stats in the game through the "Avatars" tab, below your avatar
That's in the current build, mind you
cyan rapids
alot of previous avatars really didn't use fancy stuff nor were they super detailed
queen mango
I see.. but do they have dynamic bones? That stuff taxes a lot on the CPU
cyan rapids
not all of them
the last one i remember setting up couldn't use them even if i had the option given the model itself https://gyazo.com/c3fb759a3ddd2f4e8f16b131375f6032
even better with that one is it only uses one texture and thus only one material
queen mango
Ah.. should be fine, mostly
cyan rapids
he's not that high poly either, i think he's maybe, about 1k
covert linden
I only have 200 dynamic bones
queen mango
cyan rapids
lol
queen mango
But yea.. as I was saying, in addition to personal avatars, you can also favorite up to 16 avatars now
cyan rapids
ah, that's handy 😄
ngl i origially got some 3ds models for ripping purposes but i might just set them up for vr chat....given i can fix the issues with their rigs
umm...idk if this has something to do with unity but this command prompt with a .exe called stsh or something showed up on my computer then went away a minute later followed by the installation finishing
hollow umbra
Avatar ripping takes a while even with a decent computer
cyan rapids
Well its not avatar ripping, it was ripping models from actual games, another little side hobby of mine lol
hollow umbra
I’m so used to calling models with existing bones avatars
cyan rapids
ah
hollow umbra
Sorry for the confusion
cyan rapids
its fine
hollow umbra
My friend does ripping where he takes fornite and Pokémon stuff
Another one does it for sfm videos
vocal shard
Should probably stop discussing game model ripping though. Its one of the rules. Sorry
vocal shard
cyan rapids
though the models ive been working with recently, the rigs are just an absolute disaster area, they work for the most part but some parts just don't work got messed up or work fine at one point then later just get messed up
stoic halo
best setup ive seen so far
is my friend mang's.
using a Google cardboard with pingpong ball and headlamp, with PS move camera and ps move controllers.

because he spazzes out and starts teleporting everywhere

ive nicknamed him Dollar Store Human

he breaks, but still works

i have a question for the vive users, so, my vive is in a diferent room from my pc, if i want to copy and paste a youtube video to a world that has a player, how do you copy and paste it while ingame? so just using the steam overlay 'desktop'
i've been looking for a way cuz it's just annoying having an extra keyboard near my vive just so i can play videos

wasn't rusttv the guy who was copying avatars and claiming them to be his own

Dunno
He's not exactly copying avatars directly through ripping or anything, although he is constantly copying ideas then accusing others of copying them
umbral reef
Tl;dr He isnt doing anything wrong but still a massive cunt ?
rigid crescent
It's weird that a lot of the more popular world creators are like that

Its almost like making popular worlds, getting fans and seeing people enjoy YOUR world inflates people there ego 
rigid crescent
who woulda known
umbral reef
Good i got a big ego by default
If i get famous one day atleast people wont say i changed then :^)
median basalt
Subcom is one of the worst offenders lol
Steal a model to the point where the original author takes it down, "remake" it but literally name it the same thing because you're a ripoff. Then sell it for $50 on your store, until that store gets taken down because you're trying to sell copyrighted content (twitch logo model for $25)
So you post it on that one site but not even they want it so they take it down
Proceed to call everyone "transphobic"
rigid crescent
oh god
median basalt
Don't forget asking $800 for MMD edit commissions
kindred briar
median basalt
$800 can get you a top-tier professional modeler
rigid crescent
they tried to call VRChat sexist because the new dynamic bone requirements for public worlds meant less short hair and skirts
kindred briar
800???
median basalt
LMAO
Oh yeah I remember that Mic. They were arguing in here a while back
I like how they suddenly backpedaled and started acting as if the optimization limits are the greatest thing ever.

Because they don't have a choice LOL
median basalt
But then I called them out on it and they mysteriously stopped talking

Fairly sure the day that dude gets banned we will get a big party to celebrate it within VRC
Also- Google name on google, search on photo's and you can see me calling him an actual retard

or did they realize it wasn't even going to take off
umbral reef
Not even- He wanted to suck up to tupper

🤢
median basalt
He actually pinged him lmao

oh i remember, about the optimization thing?
pallid river
They can have a private world and public avatar if optimization is a problem for them no ?

They basically only exist to sell their shitty packages now

Just ask the staff team! they will tell you no one gets special treatment 👀

supposedly he was told things in the closed beta channel, but that's really just hearsay
oh right lol I think i took a screenshot when Noe said that
pallid river
What make their world popular most of the time ? Because they have edited texture avatar ?
rigid crescent
It just kinda happens, tbh. It's just a popular taste.
pallid river
umbral reef
Screenshot of what? The meme/fact i just said?
If so yeet it, id love to giggle

@vocal shard ok got it. thanks !!
vocal shard
it's like.. $2200 here
umbral reef
Vive pro is aimed at companies not consumers so...
rigid crescent
1400 for the kit, 800 for the headset alone
vocal shard
Btw is there a certain amount of avatars you must upload to get trusted user?
glass spire
@vocal shard the ranking system is confusing. most people say its based of how many friends you have and how often you are active and yes also creating content. it took me 50 hours to get user. but ive seen people still stuck in user and have 300+ hours
correct me if im wrong
vocal shard
I guess its a mix of both
It's different for everyone. There's so many factors and it's well hidden. I know a couple trusted without any avatars
umbral reef
Most people dont know what they are talking about...

@umbral reef facts
the only thing i know is the developer made it so hidden so that people wont abuse it

This is a pixel comparison if you're curious
ruby burrow
If you wanted "The best" VR setup possible, and money was simply irrelevant, the options right now would probably be either Vive Pro, Odyssey+, or Paimax.
ruby burrow
It's just that the price for Pro is well outside of comparative equal value.
covert linden
Vivepro isnt a consumer item atm.
ruby burrow
Whilst both Paimax and Odyssey have their own compromises.
vocal shard
Odyssey+ nicer image than pimax, but pimax you get that fov and lighthouse
ruby burrow
Well it sort of is. It's available. It's just charging a premium price for the kind of enthusiast that doesn't mind paying triple the amount for a reletively marginal improvement.
I'm fairly sure the Paimax offers higher resolution that any other right? But doesn't have the ASDE screen tech, and requires restrictively high computing power to actually push those resolutions.
There's also Star VR. Not sure if they're actually available yet. But those are 100% targeted at business clients, with their $5000 price tag.
vocal shard
It's higher resolution, but stretching out the screen gives it almost the same pixel density as current wmr. In one review, they directly compared the sde to Lenovo explorer
ruby burrow
Ah, right.
vocal shard
It's larger resolution by far, but still lcd display
ruby burrow
Those comparison images in the first image you posted would work better if they used the same portion of the screen. Makes it feel a little un-scientific.
ruby burrow
In that one with the Paimax screens, it's kinda odd how the 5k+ actually looks better than the 8k.
You can see the individual pixels more, but the 8k one just seems blurry and low contrast by comparison.
vocal shard
Because it's rgb stripe. Same as lenovo vs odyssey, lenovo looks sharper
Extra sub pixels. The Odyssey has 4.6 million subpixels per eye (pentile) while lenovo is 6.2 million. Same applies to the 8k vs 5k
But the oled... Is still So much nicer ^^
glass spire
uses LED which makes darker rooms stand out better
vocal shard
Stand out better?
glass spire
if you used black wallpaper on OLED display the LED lights are actually turned off
vocal shard
Yeah. The oled id true black. Lcd is always some grey
The oled has better immersion imo
rough pulsar
The thing that sealed the deal for a Vive Pro for me was the combined colour quality, resolution increase and lenses.
Most WMR have slightly higher PPD due to the different subpixel arrangement but they lose so much colour quality with the LCD panels. That and I find they have a very small distortion-free spot with the lenses meaning you have to fit it quite precisely on your head.
Vive Pro had almost all the good WMR has and none of the bad. (Good lenses, good PPD, great colour)
Is $800 a bit steep for it? Yeah. Is it one of the best available VR HMDs out there? Also yes.
glass spire
@rough pulsar agreed i feel the VIVE pro is targeted for companies and people who want to upgrade
the headset only is 800 dollars
vocal shard
The biggest thing with the vive pro is the price. If the package was cheaper, there wouldn't be a question
glass spire
yeah the price is just too much
rough pulsar
IF you want a Vive Pro, the best way to get it is get a Vive, sell the HMD and buy a Pro. Total should be less than the full pro kit.
glass spire
yup
ruby burrow
If you've got the money, then it's all good. Personally it makes more sense with my own budget, to save for PC upgrades and whatever headsets come in future.

Anyone else getting disconnect from every single public room after about 10 seconds
but are find in anything but public?
ruby burrow
(My connection to the game has been fine personally)
I'm just really hoping for some kind of sensible mid range VR option that aren't aimed solely at either top tier luxury, or bottom tier accessibility.
rotund wren
Highly doubt that I created an instance yesterday and got disconnected with only 1 friend in it
now I can't get into any room
lists are pointless anyway there is so many people playing the game I'm on like 5 and never have any issues. Its just some sad threat by some lonely people.
Might just be my internet then I have noticed some download of the worlds being slower than usual

I had a dream where I died on vrchat and was then reincarnated into the real world.. was a scary place.
ruby burrow
Except in the dream, because the eye tracking was broken, it had transformed me into something horrible, and so I spent the entire time hiding instead. Trying not to be seen.
umbral reef
Ow less cute 
ruby burrow
The dream also included going to some kind of school, that was going to send us on a trip abroad. And for some reason the teacher had bought everyone doormats with african art on them, for the trip.
I was trying to show another friend my doormat, saying, "see what I got". But instead he opened up a newspaper to try and find out what I'd gotten that way.
Browsing through pages, muttering about not being able to find any info on it.

Does anyone know which walking animations work nowadays? I've had some people put some in for me but most they put in don't work.

all of them should work
forest gyro
Do you guys know anyone that can put in walking animations correctly haha
Bcause the ones I've been given with the models barely move
languid beacon
They should just work, what isn’t working about it? What are you seeing?
forest gyro
Some just don't register and one of them takes one step forward then the whole walk cycle just freezes until you stop moving
I also couldn't find more preset ones. Ones that have already been made. Do you know anywhere I can find it?
forest gyro
Oh okay I can ask there. And I have no clue. I'm not the one that does it. The people I commission to do it, do. But one of them can only find one to work with and another I've asked never fixed the freeze that it does
umbral reef
Lmao should never commision to them again if they dont fix those things
Its shit you pay for so it better be in good state and working when you actually get it
forest gyro
I agree. It was only one person that truly fucked it up. The other person found the animation and implemented it but that's the only one that they have as an option as they can't find another. I trust that person but not the person I paid hundreds of bucks to and then got ghosted. That was nice haha.
ruby burrow
I need to look into walk cycles. I've got a version of my avatar riding a mo-ped that I need to lock the legs on when moving.
Currently does a flintstones style walk when riding it.
forest gyro
Oh that's pretty...oh I see. Haha, that's funny to see
ruby burrow
Is amusing, but pretty sure I can get it better.
forest gyro
Where did you find the walk cycle anyhow?
ruby burrow
I haven't found any. I was saying that I need to learn how they work, so I can make one, or find something suitable.
I've never bothered touching walking/running anims before.
forest gyro
Same here. I'm afraid to fuck it up, personally
languid beacon
They pretty much play as is, with 2 caveots: 1.) the idle animation plays under it. And 2.) the vr head and arm IK plays over top of it, if on a vr user.
The speed of the animation is also adjusted based on how far you push the analog stick on oculus. But after a certain threshold it changes from walk to run
(I think the curves could use some adjustments)
ruby burrow
Right. So... if I just make a 1 or 2 frame animation, with legs locked in a riding pose, that should probably work for what I need right?
I guess I'll download some other walking anim, and compare. What I'm doing should probably be really simple.
languid beacon
2 frames that are identical yes, with loop time checked
Very short animation that loops
Normally it would be a single frame but VRChat doesn’t like those
ruby burrow
Cool. Thanks for tips. Wish me luck then.
Hopefully I've also fixed the rigid body I'm using, that kept sending the bike into space also. ^ ^;
languid beacon
Rigid bodies are notoriously susceptible to desync while deactivated
Use material swap to hide instead
ruby burrow
Now that chairs are out again, I want to make some vehicle avatars that actually include my normal avatar, but allow me to turn my head/upper-body and use my arms as normal.
languid beacon
Or shrink it
ruby burrow
Hmm. Good point. Although the purpose of this rigid body isn't to hide the bike, but to allow it to align to accurately my hip as desired.
Rather than being locked to my head based on the armature orientation, I've got it fixed to the hip with certain axis constrained.
So that it won't slide around strangely, and will stay forward based on my sitting posture, yet still allow me to lean it or twist my body to see who's on the back seat.
At least, that's the plan. Not had a fully successful test just yet.
Will have to see how it goes. Failing all this, I can still just parent it directly to the hip. Will result in weird forward/backward, tilting, and require me to be sitting at the perfect height, but otherwise should work.

unfortunately that isnt really a up to date connection and below the recommendet minimum for this game @rocky blaze
and dont get me wrong, i know that a few peopel out there can't get anything better.
But unfortunately that aint changing the fact thats its way outdated.
ruby needle
a reason i could imagine that could explain your behaviour is that the new tweaks try to make sure every voice package gets trough and just stacks up failed packages trying to send with the next that stacks up more and more...
tho, i have no actual clue.

If i had the same upload as download i would have no issues playing the game

jaunty plover
Okay long post coming up brace yourself and feel free to ignore
I found the secret way to actually have collaborative performances sync up, at least for the fans in stream that want to hear it how the people playing it hear it. It's not the best fix but latency is semi-ruining some things which actually sound great.
Figured it out when snowbunnyjenna was rapping to a background instrumental played by someone else. Since it didn't come out synched for me, I just muted VRchat and pulled up her stream where it was happening synched, and I was the only person in-game that actually got to hear what it should have sounded like.
Next time you hear what should be an awesome collab but it's out of sync, google the second person playing and see if they're streaming and twitch can actually be helpful to someone for once!

I think i remember something in the new patch notes about fixing fallback shaders
umbral oracle
Oh really. Maybe that will help a bit. But I made this before fallback shaders were a thing and I named all my shaders even the opaque ones Transparent because I cloned them all of a transparent shader originally
vocal shard
Oh oof
umbral oracle
Well maybe this will give me that pressure to finally redo it properly.
But yeah not full nude and I'm careful to remove explicit parts

I am looking for this avatar of Gene from Phantasy Star. But it was a custom version of her with an eyepatch, military uniform and guns like a pistol and rocket launcher. Here is a sketch i made to the best of my memory https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/513939174420906005/543294278898548754/IMG_20190207_225705770.jpg?width=394&height=526
anyone know the world or the creator?

is there any mod online?

Just chat mod, not game mods

am to lazy to send a email xd
umbral oracle
Literally takes the same effort or less as chatting on discord. You can type it in discord if the black ui is more comforting, then copy and paste the whole convo into email, type moderation@vrchat.com and click send

hello
umbral oracle
Hi
umbral oracle
You should have gone through blender first. Do you have a .fbx file you made in blender?
umbral oracle
Ok cool, and what's the issue in unity. Did you rig as humanoid
crude schooner
yes, i've done everything arcording to the tutorials
and this thing bugging me is when i choose the textules, there's no cubed unity tab appear
instead, it's the normal unity tab, and yes, the textules is the Atlas one
fathom elbow
umbral oracle
Does it not display correctly using the normal unity stuff if you apply the atlas
crude schooner
yeah, in the inspector tab, it does'nt show the shader selection under the Altas name
crude schooner
okay, how can i do that? i might notice it's kinda old tutor but i didn't think it'd be that old
umbral oracle
If it's before december it is before unity 2017. The extract materials is a new thing
Check fbx file in unity project assets and go to Materia tab (next to the rig tab with humanoid) and you will find extract materials
crude schooner
and i'd like to ask about polys and tris, i saw some models said should be 20k or lower but i saw some exceed 50k, how does these work?
velvet totem
When i click "Build and Publish", it says future proofing and then nothing happens
And ive tried the newest vrcsdk and the one from december, Any idea?
crude schooner
sometimes i stuck at that stage when i tried to upload some models that already done by the others
and thanks for the tips @umbral oracle
stoic halo
does anyone know how to convert a .avatar file? I found this model on a BeatSaber mod that i remember seeing like a year ago on VRChat and im trying to pull the model out of the file for it.
umbral oracle
@velvet totem @crude schooner make sure to turn off future proofing in vrchat sdk -> settings to fix that
velvet totem
I shall give that a shot, thank you
umbral oracle
@crude schooner they raised polygon limit to 70k a month ago and added some performance guidelines to encourage actua optimization
crude schooner
ok, so nearly 60k each is okayish?
umbral oracle
Yeah it's fine. Important thing is keep materials down

I wonder if audio files are gonna ever be able to be listened to alongside keyframes, or playable without a long loading sequence
vocal shard
any advantage for using 2.0 vive lighthouses vs 1.0?
2.0 are simpler, so more reliable, and you can use more than 2 for larger tracking range
so if i have the 1.0 already from my old vive, then keep them for my vive pro i take it?
i only use 3.2x3.2 meters
Yeah, it will still work
That's why they have the vive pro headset only option. So you can just get the headset and still use the 1.0 lighthouses and controllers
i bought the vive with all possible accessories only 10 days ago and i am so impressed with VR that i just bought the vive pro today
i think i found my new hobby
Oh damn...
Happy for you man!
i was saving money for a long time
finally found a cause for it
and it looks like nothing exciting is coming out this year except maybe valve knuckles
the new HMDs that are coming out will probably be end of year or 2020
i am not waiting that long
Yeah maybe. Some rat on the vive pro for the price, but most will still agree that it is the best on the market currently
Awesome!

won't be long until VR is a normal household product like a TV
and they all have amazing realism to them
jaunty plover
props of being too poor to afford tech you want, it keeps getting better and cheaper while you save up 👍
vocal shard
yeah, i was waiting years for VR
jaunty plover
if I could have gotten a good computer and VR setup when they became available I'd probably be looking to replace them by now anyway
vocal shard
i actually did the kickstarter for oculus rift way back and canceled the order
hollow umbra
I really wish they kept its old dk design
vocal shard
i saw some of the games coming out this year and thought now is the time for VR
saving up and waiting patiently is the key
only 6+ years, but i finally made it
crude schooner
can anyone tell me why i can't move around my models for test play on unity, i'm testing dynamic bones tho
umbral oracle
Go to play mode and use the move tool (you can also press ctrl r or t I think) and drag around the model
crude schooner
okay, thanks, can't find the newest tutor so i'm sticking with the old one and this get me some difficulties

Anyone know any worlds with male avatars?
small wing
So does moving the hip bone in unity allow for an avatar to float in game?
I'm making a humanoid rig avatar that sits in a space ship but currently it clips in the ground slightly
umbral oracle
you want to start with a humanoid avatar and scale it so it has a reasonable shape. you can take all the vertices attached to legs and remove them
do make sure it keeps the bones. some importers and exporters remove bones with no weight painted vertices on them
then your avatar will be at hip height. if you scale it up it will scale up arm length and view position too
so makinig something simply floating but humanoid isn't trivial in this sense
small wing
Thats not what i asked.
I already have it made exactly as you said, but it is clipping into the ground.
I'm looking for a quick fix in unity.
umbral oracle
your hip bone will be at hip height if you did it correctly
as you have invisible legs supporting you
don't attach something to the legs if you want it floating
small wing
I don't think we are on the same page here, sorry.
crude schooner
err, after in unity awhile, i spotted a little problem, the textures of the clothing is kinda pulled up a little bit , can anyone tell me how to fix that in blender?
hollow umbra
Did you mess with the uv in anyway
crude schooner
no, done nothing, i've even load the project from the start and i saw it that way too

@proud patrol it wont matter if i use some config to help me my upload is still 0.35Mbits
