dont think so
Did you get wmr?
^
I don't see what's so bad about the fixed external stations method myself, but it is something that roots the system a bit.
it is but i couldnt find a lenovo one
People outside the gaming community are reluctant to setup hardware as a permanent feature of their room.
i might be blind but
Yeah exactly that's what I mean. They have to be more self-contained if they are to be more consumerfriendly or whatever
Refusing to put up what looks like cameras in your room is the sign of a health mind
just unplug them after you're done
Lol, nah, that's just the sign of an overly paranoid mind. : P
I completely agree Caffeine
Yeah, I do that. They're super loud anyways (am I just unlucky?)
nah ive heard they are
"So um honey, ummmmm soooo these are cameras from Facebook"
It's not paranoia if they're actually out to get you
got some analog motors in em
They don't even capture in the normal spectrum.
the vive lighthouses arent even cameras anyway so you fine
Nah but still
the rift on the other hand
Well clearly any tin hat wearers should opt for Vive then. A laser disco box can't watch you.
Oh, yeah, vive trackers most likely can't record anything useful. I was just spweaking from the perspective of somebody "outlike of game" like was said
they literally cameras o m e g a l u l
When I have guests over and they see the cameras they always go like "oh"
The headset camera on the vive is leaps worse then the trackers
Its not like the Oculus ones that pretty much are real camera's if slightly edited
"Laser disco box" that's a fantastic description, lmao
Vive lighthouses literally cannot record anything. They don't capture in any form.
"yeah i record my fap sessions for learning where i can improve. got a problem with that"
Yeah
is what i'll say if someone inquires
It's not about what they actually record, it's about the impression (that's what I'm talking about in my corner at least)
1 min demo of how they work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J54dotTt7k0
That looks so cool. I'm easily impressed possibly.
^
The name "Lighthouse" is incredibly literal. They just sweep light out at a set interval. No data connection needed beyond updating firmware.
well i mean they're actual names are base stations
Its why you cant have picture frames in a smaller room with the vive
so its kinda like the thing on a right joycon
lighthouses are just a nickname
I wonder how it would look with the Rift
I've been trying to find a good equally to the point video for how the Rift works. But it's sort of the same in reverse, just without the sweeping aspect.
pretty much it
Invisible lights on controllers blink at set interval, and camera's look for the pattern they make.
Interesting that its reverse
this is a cool little video on the vive lighthouses LET ME WARN YA NOW, THERE IS FLASHING LIGHTS IN THIS VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbUOVswY5Lo
A small side advantage of the lighthouse tracking method, is that each sensor divot (on the controllers and headset) has it's own ID and co-ordinates.
It does provide unlimited tracking options
Meaning only two have to be in view of the base stations to get full 3D positioning.
And there's no limit to how many can be paired with a base station.
Whilst the Oculus constellation tracking needs a few more to be visible to determine the actual orientation of the tracked object.
Yeah it does feel like the Vive has tracking nailed much better than the Rift for several reasons
I mean you gotta cut some corners to sell at the price they do
Tehy also recently where able to up the tracking per second for beatsaber players
Or well SteamVr side atleast
Oh for sure, and I love my Rift
Well the pro of the constellation tracking is better battery life.
No computation needed inside the controller, means it lasts much longer. Does add a little more load to the PC itself, but I'm under the impression it's negligible.
Well because of that its technically also more light weight for pc's
Its so minimal its nothing to talk about really but eh
Vive needs to include a bit more hardware inside the controllers themselves. Is possibly what makes the price difference. Unless it's just Oculus subsidising to compete.
Has been a big game of leap frog.
Big odds as its FacebookVr
And you read zucs goal for Vr?
Im hella sure they are not even making a profit at times...
Just to push there agenda
Oculus hits the scene first, naturally captures the first enthusiasts. Vive arrives next and introduces hand tracking and roomscale, Oculus quickly scrambles to compete and releases their very nicely designed touch controllers, and adds support for additional sensors.
Well it's going to be good times in the Oasis with Zuckboi
Now Vive is making a move on the foveated rendering scene, and is (hopefully...) soon to release it's own finger tracking controller.
Well more that zuck wants to take over programs like Unity to further there goal of VR.
That they are buying up developers for there platform to become the dominated market in VR games and push there products. And they want to go for the average Vr consumer aka mobile VR users right now.
So they want to ruin the market and be the only big player...
oh yah and speaking of that how does fingertracking work?
Right now they dont mind who blows up though- Aslong as they get to be part of the explosion with them.
i cant show you guys cause my computer sucks!
Yeah Kairos. Facebook basically want's to be the new Steam store, but for VR. They're going hard on acquiring the largest user base possible.
@ruby burrow Lets all go for FacebookVR support that wants to limit the experience of users 👏
XD
Ow wait they are cheap so for real lets go for that /s
Its insane how open zuck is about these things
And its even worse for no one gives a fuck about monopoly's online...
@dawn pecan I did go for vive exactly for that reason
And i will stay with any company that support SteamVR
I'm entirely for an open VR market myself also.
And they are not in a position to be evil or ever will be.
They need to please companies and high end markets to stay afloat.
They also need VR to work for everyone so there own gaming store can explode (and boy, they might actually make it right with the changes they want to do)
Developers need as many customers as possible, and consumers need as many games as possible. This stuff about buying up "platform" exclusives, doesn't help anyone but Facebook itself.
And programs like SteamVR go as far as supporting third parties programs to please users...
Fairly insane things for tech companies to do but its amazing to see how much some groups care about VR
Is simply too early to be trying to carve a slice quite like this.
Same that im helllaaa hyped for PsVR
Its a lose market vs all the pc gaming
With a Ps5 it can run good games
They invested loads into relaxing fun and original games
Its legit what Vr has to become imo 
I dont want beatsaber. I want a relaxing puzzle game after my 8 hour work days
Its IMO why VRchat works so amazingly well with VR
is there a animal crossing like vr game?
Really, we just need a few more viable third party alternatives for VR, and Facebook will be forced to change tactics and stop with the console war style stuff.
Omg ac vr id love that
Imo nintendo will never do vr but this is my like.. assumption
@vocal shard If you want to learn about fun smaller gamesi highly suggest you check out the VR subreddits (Dont follow /r/vive though go for /r/vive_vr
@ruby burrow Money tho-
I think nintendo isnt powerful or popular enough to do the research or vr b
have you seen their pattents?
Nintendo is pretty innovative. I wouldn't bet on them staying away from VR. They're probably just waiting for the right moment.
Also you guys heard about the Varjo VR-1?
'just a 6K vr headset'
the switch is well a switch
This is my own thinking this isnt backed up so dont take my word strongly
They'll swoop in with some crazy idea, and suddenly everyone will be like, "Omg, VR has finally arrived?"
As if no one else had been doing it already. : P
well it is nintendo
hello there!
A Switch that you put on your face.
^
Oh yeah, lol. That's true.
just make another dock thingy
LaboVR
or just plug a hdmi and usb for power into the dock
Oh I forgot about that onw
Not 6DoF VR though. Just the kinda crappy phone style.
yea
Which is something that bothers me on the side.
Also has anyone here heard about Mosh pit simulator yet?
no..
Far more people have tried out the phone based VR options, and most have naturally dismissed it as a novelty. Because, who can blame them. It's kinda lame, and has barely any applications.
no i mean make a vr headset like wmr aand just make it plug into the dock
Which means if I ever tell someone that one of my main hobbies is VR, they always think of the phone stuff and don't really get me.
If they were to make something to have vr theyd need a whole new system
maybe
Definately
they might do something to the dock
If you dont build something with vr capabiltiies and trackinf already inside its not gonna do it with ease. switch is near its end anyway
Maybe you could download drivers to make it work but still I think theyd design a device better for that
I've tried occasionally, just taking the fearless honest approach, and telling a co-worker or two exactly what I spend my time doing. (Excluding the anime girls and headpats...)
It's not worked that well.
Same
Social interactions with co-workers?
lol who does that these days
"I got a new boyfriend
"Howd you meet him
"Vrchat"
"....?"
I do because I like being social but they dont because im weird
If you have nowhere else to meet people..? Not a bad place I think
I'm just joking 
I actually talk about games and computer with my co-workers as we have the same interests though i haven't mentioned vrchat
I'll be sure to say things along the lines of, "Not the basic phone VR though, a dedicated headset with hand and leg tracking etc."
But they still struggle to imagine it.
Ive talked about lolis to one
Yeah vr seems outthere, when I first found vrchat I thought vr wasnt even out yet but an idea
VR was first introduced back in the 90's or 80's i think
I've mentioned VRC to a few people and I never am ashamed of it or anything
Last person I mentioned it to answered with, "Oh, I see. I've never really been into game, but I do like Clash of Clans."
I think they like me a lot since they just smile and laugh with me
I aborted on that one and went back to work related discussions. >_>
Im not ashamed but like I get sad
"Vrchat isnt cool? Ok.. well still wanna hear more about it?"
I was trying to explain to my coworkee I got a new pc but the gpu broke and I used some pc terms ans he got so confused
Depends who you're talking too really.
,-,
I know the feeling
Yeah same
I have some associates that do games research and exhibitions and such and I told one of them "Yeah you are doing VR? You should try VRChat it's the future"
Some people are so far outside of even the regular gaming world, that stuff like VR is just incomprehensible to them.
Thats true, I thought pcs were the norm.. because I forgot people outside of this discord exist
So now she is trying to see if they are going to include VRC in the exhibition
I can't communicate with 95% of people. Even if we understand eachother, we have different ways of thinking
Same
I am also sure that she will have some more indepth questions about what I do in there later
But I met a girl in class yesterday who likes anime and knew vrc and I really wanna be her friend
The few co-workers that I know are gamers, happen to be console gamers, and also don't seem very aware of the VR scene.
Also that what other people say doesn't have much meaning to me. I just view things differently
I domt get offended just sad like youre living a lie xD
One tried a PSVR in a store demo booth, and wasn't impressed. Compared it to the Wii. ._.
My cousin has psvr and was sad when she learnee she couldnt use it on her shitty laptop
Shes getting a new pc tbo so im forcing hee into the oculus
Maybe I'm special. Maybe I'm just an asshole. Don't know anymore.
And yeah, laptops don't really want to work with VR (even most expensive ones)
Hers is like 32bit dell that has none of thqt like avx or whatever
Runs the game at 11fps
Not sure if you need avx anymore. But 32bit? Good luck man.
My old school computer could get 30 FPS, and it had 256MB of "shared" vmem lol
Ew
256 megabytes
We used to have to use macs...
those were the days
I gotta keep getting ready for school ill be back in time
Phone > Tablet > Laptop > Desktop. Lot of people don't manage to see the very simple pattern, and instead assume, "Sleek = futuristic = better?"
Yeah. I was less than impressed. But schools are retarded when it comes to IT
If you look into old gaming forums there was a guy asking about a 2GB graphics card
And someone replies with “lol what are you from the future?”
Like, how old?
Yes he was
My cousins a full mac supporter so itll be nice to use my new pc info to my advantage
Really really old, like early early 2000
My oh my...
The first PCs I played on didn't have graphics cards. They may or may not have boasted "3D accelerators" on the motherboard though.
wait am i dumb? isnt it suposed to be Phone < Tablet < Laptop < Desktop
As long as they run doom
there were people fighting about if a 3 mb video card was worth it for DOOM
oh shit caffeine yeah
The PCs I used to play my games on used to come along with those old box-styled monitors, which were a pain to carry around.
IDDQD
what
Oh, yeah Haze. I didn't mean it as a more-than less-than thing. But your version does work better.
IDDQD is a Doom cheat code
God mode.
oh
God mode, for Doom
idclip idkfa
It was the cheat code I would attempt to type in if I was having a nightmare when I was little.
Jeez
Yea, basically. But it did have some cool effects on Doomguy
Have to go, sadly. Laters
Depending on whether I could find a keyboard in my dream, I'd either be safe or not.
I know, early pre-meme glowing eyes
Squishy, after a very long session of TF2, I got up from my chair at 2 AM and stubbed my toe on my door. I internally tried pressing the ‘E’ key to call for a medic.
Did it work?
unfortunately it didnt help
When I first got VR, I had this problem where I'd wake up at night, and not know how to get to the bathroom.
I'd take a few steps, and then freeze, concerned I was about to walk into an "invisible wall", and that I needed some kind of controller to continue on.
Same with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. I always chose german medic.
There was a single command to call for a medic with a single voice line on the german side. It was ‘Need a Medic!’
It was spammed repeatedly by wounded players while they repeated their reach-up-then-fall-and-breathe animation.
Got stuck with the mentality that I was still inside some kind of "play space". ^ ^:
that sounds like a movie
Umm.. should the conversation continue on in #general-media?
I woke up in the middle of the night sweaty and thirsty, and I started writhing in my bed like the wounded animation. I muttered “need a medic!” and tried to press H+2 to use the voice command
Though you could use public lobby as there'd another topic going on.
Well I'm on topic at least. :v
I played too much
This was specifically during my first few days in VR-Chat.
Nvm, there's another going on..
I also ended up rolling around in my bed sheets during the morning when still only half awake, with the notion that I was a bird.
As in, one of those harpy avatars.
Was a fairly trippy week.
I tried opening my vrc quick menu in the morning
In my defence I had 5 hours sleep and I got shook awake by my alarm
Oof.
And I snapped out of it immediately
Thats what happens when you play until 1 in the morning
Lol. I think I've tried that too. To check the time. Wanted to bring up Steam VR, and was disappointed to realise it wasn't within my power.
Apparently, I have been experiencing VRChat dreams lately.
My dreams are quite disturbing
Like, I dream of myself checking lists and stuff in VR, even though I play on Desktop mode
I had a dream where I was on D-Day in my own Unity game I was working on that night
A half-textured american soldier was screaming at me and pointing but I couldnt hear anything because the mg42 was too loud
On a lesser example from just last night, I wanted to find a meter long object to measure something. It crossed my mind that it was inconvenient how I couldn't just summon up a generic white cube to use.
Should totally be a standard life feature. Summon cube.
So I hear the whistle sound effect and the american disappears
The ramp drops and my m1 garand is glued to my chest as in the game, only moving up and down
and I can’t remember much else rn
Only repeating mg fire and ocean sound effects
hello
Swiggity swoogity the jester is out and about tonight bois say hi if you see me.
Well, give it 8 hours and I’m down
Hi
What’s good?
Cheesecake
im consuming dangerous amounts of sodium chloride
Ugh I feel like shit, that really was a bad idea
Oof.. what made you do that?
It tasted like nothing
Elire you must carry on my legacy
Promise me you’ll crop the avatar pictures
Crop them Elire crop them all
Pure sodium chloride. Also known as Burger King breakfast menu
it tasted like a watery raw potato
Sounds like the all fries I eat at Jollibee
I think I need a medic my mouth is completely numb and my throat hurts when I breathe
haha im gonna have to tell the doctor I downed a salt shaker for no fucking reason
jk jk but I eat alot of salt... I just realized how stupid these messages are and I will cease
They are kind of concerning. ._.
Hard to tell what's serious and what's not.
Because that much salt all at once would be legitimately dangerous.
Less a "tell the doctor" and more a, go to hospital now, kinda thing.
yeeeaahhh,..
The avatar world with the Kanna bodypillow was approved. I guess that means the pillow is safe?
They don't always check every corner in all rooms
If you want to know for sure just email them about it
I found it on Google: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/FiQAAOSwol5Y2L~y/s-l300.jpg
It's so bad quality that you can barely see it though
Emailing is such a pain, can I just get a "yes" so that I can add it to my world?
No one here has any authority to give you a yes though. ._.
It'd be as good as you saying yes to yourself.
Oh hemlo
One golden rule is, if a user might feel the need to report you for it, you might get trouble for it.
That's about as good as we've got to go on really. Is hard to draw a solid line on "NSFW".
Oh I think I'm interrupting something
Not really. It's an open chat.
The ToS just says "no nudity" but I know that mods won't follow it that closely
There is that other avatar that's wearing only ribbons, I'm sure you've seen it. Full 3D body rather than just a pillow, but also not loli.
So you could perhaps take that as basis for it being safe enough. Though it's down to you really.
I'd say it's safe, but some people are really anti-loli
it's pretty risque
I have no ToS strikes yet, so I will just try
My recommendation would be to just use it privately
i.e. not use it in public worlds
that would get you banned on Reddit, that's for sure XD
Everything gets you banned on Reddit man
hahah truth
Clothed lolis, photoshopped porn, porn of petite yet legal girls, any opinion which isn't mainstream, any critical thinking, etc.
Another rule of society in general, is that everything is safe until it draws too much attention.
just put boobs on the loli and say she's 21, then it's fine
Eg, that Halo avatar that got stolen and spread around.
Would be cool to change subject, and move anything else to #general-media pls
The person who made it public got banned, the author who kept it private didn't.
In one persons hands it was a cool show, but being cloned around everywhere it became obnoxious spam.
What was special about it? Was it a copyright thing?
The Halo one? It's was that one that had a gigantic ship crash, along with loud global audio, zoom effects, etc.
"Don't draw too much attention" that's a bad stance though. One should stick to what they believe in
@modern sand I like your icon. Is it an OC or is it from something?
Ah, I never actually encountered it before
same
Was just too big and dramatic to be unleashed into public.
farz
@heavy dawn Not supposed to ping the admins remember. ^ ^;
(Without official reason)

Can I assume an avatar asset is allowed if it's on a public avatar?
I figured since Ruubick was already here it wasn't an issue. Also didn't know pinging the admins was bad but I wouldn't do it for no reason. 😃
Staff are busy people
Not really. Just because something is on a public avatar, doesn't mean it's fully allowed. Might just not have been noticed and taken down yet.
I mean generally, it's a fairly good hint that it's safe, simply because it's not been banned yet, but can't take anything as a guarantee.
(Unless you manage to get a dev to give an official thumbs up or something.)
It's that otaku guy with a body pillow. I've seen it a lot of times. But good point.
Ah, dunno, guess I do need to send an email
@ruby burrow Got a few minutes?
I was trying just now
That is one way I suppose. Do they answer that kind of email? Worth a shot perhaps.
@umbral reef Sure.
Its the only way to get an answer so even if they dont answer it its there only way to get conformation
I have a body pillloow
i hav floof
If it’s important enough for someone to report, and it is technically breaking the rules, it will get enforced. If no one reports something, no one’s gonna care.
a pillow
Better not add it, my world has had over 100 people before
Yeah the chances of someone pretending to be offended and reporting it just because they can is far more likely than someone legitimately taking issue with it, but a report is a report all the same
The moderation sounds a bit biased towards the reporter
Well basically yes that’s how it should be though
I disagree, but only in instances where that thing is not against the rules (and right now, it's technically not)
Unless the rules updated recently, I'll admit I haven't checked in a while
nothing happens without an investigation, and everything can be appealed
everything sent to moderation@vrchat.com is read and taken seriously
whether it's a report, appeal or other moderation-related issue/concern
Well yes if you get reported and it isn’t against the rules nothing happens. But if you are reported and it was indeed against the rules, there’s no excuses, even if “but plenty of people do it and no one gets reported” - well, they were better at not getting reported.
I still see the notorious bandaid-loli. I'm surprised no one has taken issue with that lol
That ones not quite loli really. Unless you're talking of something else than me.
I've had this silly idea in mind for a while now, of making a censored nude avatar based on this old image that was supposed to be an anthromorphised "Censor-Tan" character.
As for stuff like that being in a public world it was probably an oversight. If you personally have an issue and feel it shouldn’t be allowed, feel free to report it and someone will review it.
Was a picture of this angry looking nude blushing girl with a reel of tape that said censored on it. Taping up the screen to hide everything.
With a 🚫 hair accessory.
https://blog.psocafe.com/files/medias/mmd/models/miscellaneous/game/azurlane/futin/kisaragi.jpg it's the Kisaragi MMD lol
this is the SFW version of course
My idea was that I'd use billboard particles or something to try and provide perfect censorship regardless of which angle you look from.
I've actually reported it ingame as a joke, but that was mooooonths ago
And if you lean in too close to try and peak past, it'd either pixelate or "censor" out your screen.
Ah. I'm not aware of that one then.
Yeah, she's just got a jacket on with three well-placed bandaids
Oh! And if I could get that wooper shader working, I could also put censor tape over lewd people. :v
That'd be fun.
If I stopped messing up my sleep schedule and wasn't too tired to work on stuff, I might actually get some of my dumb ideas into the game some day. >_>
Good idea, but make sure the fallback shader works correctly!
Yes, that would be important. xD
Bandaid loli has no nsfw geometry, but I'm also surprised that it's a public model. It's made by the same guy who made the kisaragi model
If you rotate the panties texture (y offset 0.5 I believe it was), it will be either panties or a bandaid
I suppose for shaders off, I'd have to put a set of transparent boxy underwear on there or something.
Or hell, just put some normal clothes on, and make those transparent when enabled. That'd do it.
Could just put that gmod missing texture texture
Which would also be pretty amusing for anyone enabling shaders if they started with them off.
Wait. Shaders without the particles also turned on would still be a problem... >_>
Huh. I didn't even get to read whatever that was. '-'
Banned for being too nice. Heard that one before.
"ButtSmasher" -> "Too Friendly"
LOL
I mean... It depends on the way you were "too friendly" right?
Ey dudes- ?
Am i blind or are the options for mute all users by default and hide all avatars by default gone?
NSFW textures that aren’t actually part of the UV aren’t allowed either...
Hmmm gues they are- Looks like it got replaced with the Safety system
These dam forums man being so damn outdated
You know small peeve of mine, people that hide avatars them selves, so your trying to talk and relate to them and they are like “oh I have avatars off!”
It’s not really a big deal but I just find annoying from time to time
Yay Thursday!
Usually Friday is a busy day for people but this Friday at work is demo day. So I just... show off my code and try to look busy for the rest of the day.
But its not even officialy documents beside update logs anyway so
Panic mode? Is tha ta mode in VRChat?
👀 Just gimme a week lili and i can blow your VRC mind
Its for desktop yea
I hate it because I miss like f1 and press escape sometimesss
is afraid
Can always remind the shift key
I occasionally trigger it accidentally when messing with playspace mover.
Meanwhile, I manually click on the Close VRChat button sometimes when trying to click menu items because clearly I have skills.
LOL
That's like when someone typos a letter clear across the keyboard.
I've never once actually used that "close VR Chat" button, strangely enough.
I have but half the time it gets frozen and stuck
I can't even think where it's located.
Settinga at the botttoom
The other day someone was trying to help me correct a setting because I'm a noob and like... Oh! Right here! I look at the right button but click close instead. hahah
I've always used the steam VR button, and either press "go home", or exit VR.
I sometimes get prioperception issues after I get out of playing VR. Like my phone screen looks REALLY strange to me. And I expect screens and objects to behave how they do in VRCHat. 😅
I did the clicky! Why no pick up! D:
"Why can't a force grab objects?" - "Where's my handy magic floating holographic menu?"
"Why can't I select, "Go Home" from a pop up UI, to skip the drive home from work?"
lol your ipd setting might be wrong if depth looks weird after vr use
I've never asked these specific questions before, but perhaps we should be.
Still some improvements to be made to VR space also though.
Looking forward to the day I can be working on creating stuff for VR, whilst still inside VR, and have friends still able to come visit me inside my workspace, and see what I'm working on.
Iron man style wavy hand menus and magic UI.
Im just sitting here waiting for AR really 
None of this "It's a monitor UI, except we made it big and put it in VR" stuff.
AR has a lot of cool potential, but I barely leave my room anyway, so it's not appealed to me as much so far.
@ruby burrow they could do something like the wmr home for the workspace
I just need online friendship injected directly into my bloodstream and it will be fine
It would be nice to fully integrate the VR overlay for my homeroom, but I don't think I'd spend that much time there anyway.
i spent alot of time there beacuse my current specs couldnt do anything else
I've currently got my Steam home room set out with virtual furniture matching the locations of my real furniture.
It's a little janky due to the very limited support for it Steam home currently has, but does work quite nicely.
I can walk around my virtual bedroom, put my controller on the exact corner of my virtual desk, and have it sitting correctly on the real desk.
nice but i was wondering could wmr work with steam home?
Can flop on the virtual bed knowing it's actually there to land on.
I think it can, right?
Since WMR can still run Steam VR, I think it's just part of the package?
Thats amazing squishy
Unless it actually needs a Vive, but I didn't think that's the case at least.
ill test it out if my charger would work
One of my favourite parts of my virtual bedroom is how my real world digital alarm clock becomes an old ticking one.
I get to hear it ticking before the world renders in, and kinda sit up from my bed to get started.
oof my laptop isnt turning on not even showing the charge sign ;-;l
Give it 20 minutes
Oh nvm
Could be a battery problem
Unless the chargers broken
If anyone wants to try mirroring their real room in Steam VR, be warned that it's a finicky process, and also requires consistent sensor/lighthouse mountings, or else the playspace will drift away from being accurate to it.
Ehh I just have the play space set up.
I’d rather not mirror my room kinda weird tbh
Until AR can draw black I can’t take it serious sadly
I feel like my interests in AR for the near future are only going to go as far as a VR headset with quality cameras on the front.
For a sort of hybrid VR/AR thing.
I’d rather not wear ar@wanton raftgles everywhere I go, seems off fir@me and wrong
I’d rather see the real work and what it has to offer other then a fake world
I mean, you never know what might develop, but I just don't see it applying to my lifestyle yet.
I could see how but reeeee
Outside this room is either work time or family time, neither of which have much application for AR right now.
Inside this room, I may as well replace it entirely.
Pretty much, gonna@unborn dunee that myself here soon.
Specially@when I go to le college Towns
I was rather surprised when Linus (From Linus Tech Tips) said that he sees no future in VR, and thinks it will evolve into AR.
You'd think that surely he of all people would recognise that gamers are going to want dedicated hardware for fully immersed experiences.
Eh, I got it for@valid niche and have enjoyed it@alpine horizoncept@languid gull the 500$ price tag
THIS
And how that hardware is going to have different screen requirements, pros and cons, compared to AR displays.
All the unintended pings. xD
Why is the @ next to the fucking space bar reeee #salt
Man? This I just... Oh well whoops! Sucks to be those lads then
I just found it weird to hear Linus expressing that VR headsets are too expensive, when the very next episode he is gushing over a $2000 monitor, finding it completely normal and reasonable.
^
Reee man ima break this phone one day. Anyway, yeah welcome to paid shills
The same guy who pretty much treats any graphics card under $500 like it's a budget card. Is just kinda odd.
That’s why I don’t pay attention to people like him
My980 is still rolling hard and good
No problems coming from it what so ever and I still play games on max
well that is a funny situation with monitors and vr a monitor is good for everything yet a vr headset is good for few things not diagreeing that he gushes over them but hes paid to review them gets sent them free so he looks at them
For everything else I trust what he's got to say. But his stance on VR has just been a little off. Somewhat seems like he's simply too busy to have given it much of his time.
He talked about Robot Recall as if it's the only decent action game on offer.
probably was at the time he hasnt looked at a vr headset since the vive pro if memory serves
Didn't he call it terrible because he had trouble fitting his face into it?
anyone really good with unity i am having a werid problem with vrchat sdk
He also said that VR is prohibitive due to the hardware requirements, which is certainly somewhat true, but still weird to hear from him specifically.
GTX-1060, virtually any CPU. Boom, sorted.
hi
Basically any new gaming PC is VR ready. Only the most budget or scam built options, aren't.
Even a 1050 can probably manage on low settings, if my old 960 can.
And hi.
The vive pro doesn’t seem like a good deal for me at all
I already have a headset. That’s also wireless. So, why bother?
also oculus and vive have definately worked on the software side over the past few years to make their headsets work much better on lesser hardware
Its nott a consumer product yet the pro
Well, what does the pro offer over the normal vive?
Also is full body worth the 330+$?
yeah the pro is a headset that youd buy if your buisness was developing for vr or you have a vr arcade where you can make the money back
higher resolution mostly
Ahhhh ok makes more sense then.
Oh so less screen door effect?
I remember I was looking at an 8k headset but it was from some Korean company and I was thinking “This ain’t gonna be supported for shit anywhere fuck that!”
Its not meant to be purchased by consumers, Its how a lot of things begin
Likw how the i9 9k is for consumers but not any other version
Huh
Like its still a test build in a sense as far as im aware
Like say you bought the ps4 on the day they came out, its gonna have a lot of problems and maybe break
Wait awhile and theyd have fixed all that
I don’t like experimental stuff or over clocking don’t like trashing the life expectancy on my parts
My friend bought the ps4 when it came out and it was the worst mistake with the amount of trouble he had to go through to fix it
overclocking doesnt really damage anything unless you way overvolt the part
Yeah. The Vive Pro is effectively one of the best headsets available right now, but not remotely in line with consumer pricing, in terms of the small extra it offers.
Unless you're straight up rich, can just write it off.
I do wanna get wireless for the vive eventually
Cause my cords came fine but are all fucked no
Now*
Yeah good wireless would be awesome
Is the current wireless adaptor not that good?
I know too people in game who have it. They've never mentioned it having any issues, but one did express regret over choosing it instead of spending the same money on trackers, with money left to spare.
I have a pro and don't regret it one bit. I use it enough I've already got my money's worth out of it by a long shot.
@rough pulsar does the increased resolution reduce the screen door effect?
Good to know
Significantly
The current wireless adaptor seems decent, but has the caveat of short battery life, so you would want to get an external/additional battery setup for it.
When you're actively engaged in the virtual world your brain filters out the SDE somewhat, with the pro that's completely gone.
I don't know exactly what people use, but I have a friend with owns wireless, and will swap it out half way through a session.
What helps a lot for not noticing SDE in vrchat is not spending 90% of your time stood still looking at a mirror
She is by far the most "animated" person I've ever met in the game though.
Depending on how it's powered you probably could get away with a couple 20000mah battery banks in your back pockets
Awww but mirrorrrs
It's became an in-joke that she's a secret artificial intelligence using NPC, programmed in by the devs.
Best worlds don't even have any
I own wireless, I use one power bank, it's about 3 times the size of the defult and should last between 9 to 12 hours at full charge
@rough pulsar why do people glare at the mirrors? I did it the other night and it’s just weird
But, also I have noticed when playing and having fun I ignore the screen door effect
That's pretty good then actually. Better than whatever my friend uses even.
They wanna see how mega cute they are
Like you said
Personally I hate mirror sitting but to each their own
Ehh I’d rather just focus on being cute to others and then worrying about what I look like
If wireless didn't have that +£300 price tag, I'd consider it in that case.
Just as much as sitting with fullbody
It's important to keep an eye on the mirrors though.
We need to be vigilant, to make sure our reflections don't escape.
When I first get on I always go to the mirror to refresh memory on my gestures make sure my avatar isnt bugging out or something
I have oculus and I paid an extra $560 for vive full body. Worth it to me. But it depends on how into vr you are and how important it is for you to be fully immersed. Also I don’t recommend it if you don’t know how to mod avies in blender and unity you really need to tweek the proportions to yourself to get the most out of full body
But oh well nothing you@glad mirage do.
@ruby burrow was that?
Then I wander
Even worse is chairs with colliders on them so you can't even sit on them in fullbody
Oof rekt
I feel that gallium, on a spiritual level
I enjoy sitting in fullbody, but specifically I go find novel objects to sit, lounge or lay on.
I like sneezing on people in vr
Will use playspace mover and go find a wall, a table edge, a tree, persons head, etc.
If you sit on something in the environment that's one thing but I have a friend who has full body and I only ever see them sitting. Drives me mad it does.
Floating I may add as well
what a waste of $300
Yeah, I can understand that.
After about four hours I get a bit tired and start to sit but I usually get off shortly after at that point
I get confused when theres like 8 dessktop users just crouching.. looks like a secret meeting
I crouch tons too but why is thequestion
Sitting mid air is meh. Sitting on top of people is the real flex move.
But no really all you non-full body people sit too you just don’t notice. We can’t hide it when we wanna sit lol
I get confused when there's a swarm of muted desktop users staring into a mirror
There is that, yeah.
When I get my new gpu I never wanna sit
I wish I could have a second hip tracker just for redundancy
I enjoy standing and walking around the full extent of my playspace when possible, even before I got FBT, I'd spend most of my time upright. But... can't keep that up forever.
Thanks to my job I already stand for 8 hours so it wont killl me
Especially after a dancing session sometimes a good sit is necessary
I tried to apex slide the other day and it ripped the battery for my headset of my belt and down the stream went lol
I already work a job that is 80% walking and 20% squatting. My friends have laughed about it.
Get home after a tiring shift. First thing I do, "Lets stand around all night"
Squatting kills me
Slav squat to build up those calves
I always slavsquat in VR to assert my superior Russian genes*
Does anyone know the playspace mover parameters to grab and rotate the playspace instead of only translating it
Respectable
*(does not actually have any Russian genes)
I do not.
However, I do know that if you use only a hip tracker, and playspace mover, you can do a surprisingly good job of making it look like you have a pole in your room.
Whenever I use a female avatar in VRChat people tell me it doesn’t work because I stand like a man
This is not a routine activity. I just discovered it once when my batteries were on their last legs. >_>
What I don't like about my setup is my headset can't track my controllers down by my side so my arms sit awkwardly bent forwards slightly
But out front the wmr tracking is wonderful
Sounds like wmr
Well, at least you got it for cheap right? More money left over for whatever eventually comes next.
I could've bought a Vive or rift but I wanted to dip my toes in first
If that Valve headset doesn't turn out to be something nice, or if HTC doesn't do a surprise reveal of a 2nd gen gamer spec headset, I'll be upset.
Yeah there is a few stances that give away what headset someone using. Standing soldier at attention with hand wobble? Vive and they are tired of holding the controllers. Begging cat pose? WMR. Hands out in front like you are holding a box? Oculus in sitting mode
Oculus is already invested into the Quest and the Rift-S, so it seems unlikely they'll bring out anything else for a while.
I find that I can spoof wmr if I make a t pose and slam my hands down as fast as possible
Heh. Accurate, Adeon.
i had to use regedit to be able to use wmr ;-;
i didnt have the specs
Steam even auto downloaded steam vr
Or maybe it was already attached to my steam for some reason
My biggest issue was trying to get warthunder to stop trying to use my wmr as the display turns out I was stupid and was looking straight at the setting
Hmm. That reminds me though, how any new headset will be worthless to me without upgrading my PC itself first. >_>;
My 960 can handle Vive resolution. It won't handle anything better than that.
my laptop wont even charge rn ;-;
I have am rx580 that can handle oculus but uPs BROKE IT
So ive got a new one that may com in tomorrow
But one day my dreams to own a super good pc
"Sitting on someone is the real power move"
I was in the dog bar thingy... and some kid came in as a toilet avatar and pretended to be super upset when people sat on him. 🤣
LOL
That’s pretty funny lol
Then really super-short characters sat and of course they appear like half inside the thing
Some peoples shader somehow manage to chug my PC I've got a 2070 and an overclocked i5
yo now that i think about it, i know pretty much nothing about vrchat except for all the basic stuff. can i get a more complex rundown of what there is to know about vrchat? for example, maybe about importing/exporting custom avatars?
Same face. Same GPU. I overcloced my CPU to 4Ghz. Still chugging.
VRC is just unoptimized. 🤷
typing with one hand is hard
@chilly storm If you go to the avatars room they probably have the answer there right in the FAQs.
how do i go there lol
There are tons of great videos but it's super easy. Download the VRC SDK. Get a rigged model (or rig it using Mixamo.com), and then apply a VRC Avatar Descriptor to it in Unity3D.
#avatars-2-general but its better to just go staight to YT tutorials and video's
Oh... if you don't even know how to switch channels I fear this might be more effort. 😄
Use a long tutorial. Tuppers or kreens
it probably will 😓
@chilly storm That's okay! It's still totally worth it!
Yes
i might have to learn about this stuff on my own time
Yes with tutorials
@chilly storm If you're just bored at work put a tutorial video in the corner of your computer and half-pay attention to it. Then re-watch it at home 😃
kk, thx for the advice
Basically any 3D model that can be imported into unity can be used in VRChat. Models and animations (which can have audio) only. No custom scripts / executable code.
By default an avatar will look exactly like it does in unity. If it’s skinned and is bound to unity’s humanoid character definition, you can also use it in vr to control its arms/head/feet etc
Most people use blender to make the avatars from scratch or kitbash custom models together, the export as fbx and being that into unity to set it up as a humanoid unity character and use VRChat’s unity SDK (basically a unity plugin) to upload it to their account
I think there's an exception for dynamic bone script which is pretty much standard.
Or is that against the rules too?
Yeah there are a few white listed scripts like dynamic bones and finalIK, it actually doesn’t use your code but will replace them with their internal copies of the scripts
Oh neat! :D
I was wondering that.
I wonder if you can just create a script name it dynamic bone, give it parameters of the correct names, and it’ll just get replaced with the real one without actually owning the script
Yeah, dynamic bone is a paid script.
It's cheap enough though so if you use it a lot floating the creatore a few buxxx isn't so bad.
Yeah I’m a stickler for buying stuff i enjoy
I’m sure VRChat has made him a pretty penny
is there a list of offline friends?
There is a tab for this within the social tab.
If you expend the list ingame you can see all ofline friends
oh, there it is. Gotta scroll down. Found it
Same, high five!
Check Out my Picture #vrchat-pictures
aww
why wont vr save my avi :/
i relogged multiple times
restarted my wifii keep clicking save
What do you mean by save? Just bring you back with the avatar you left on?
How are you trying to favourite?
i click fave button
but it doesnt show up in my faves
like at all
its been doing this since yesterday
I think I'm getting more comfortable moving around in vr
@fervent glade It can take a while to show up
Best is to just wait it out. But depening on your connection and the servers it might not work.
If it keeps doing it after another 24h and still doesnt show up i suggest you email support@vrchat.com
lol i just got on and i realize i ranked up to known user lmao
Well congratz dude!
Noice. Welcome to the Known Users club
ayyy lmao
yeet
i only got to users
@urban jasper Gotta get the VR leggs ;)
Takes time getting used too and learning your ways
Yup
Just dont push it when you get sick
Else your brain will link VR with being motionsick
I'm lucky there. I don't get motion sick
basically just upload a crap ton of avatars and worlds and make friends
Making friends has never been easy for me
oof
Btw that pfp 👀
yee lul
Yeah dev kit 2 really did me bad with linking vr to motion sickness took me a while of using the perfectly comfortable cv1 to get over it
Some Pavlov crap going on
Dk2 was like a bootcamp for vr motion sickness training. Lol
I remember mounting my sensor on the roof to play semi roomscale with an xbox controller too. Played vrchat like that for a few months
I feel bad for anyone who first experices vr on a 3 Dof headset
“That’s neat not for me tho”
Hello
^
Yep. Which i think is something holding main stream back. They start with a mobile headset
Hi!
Hey
I was hoping Quest would be the new entry level vr
Or just inside out tracking being standard for mobile vr
I hope it will push it. I think it has the potential
is oculus go via riftcat supported?
Not officially... But it can be made to work
well I only have 1 controller input so would i have to use a mouse?
Xbox controller is your best bet
More functionality than a mouse
I think you can also use a DualShock 4 controller, but it may have to be connected through a USB for it to work.. that or a wireless Bluetooth USB dongle
Hey
Hello
Welcome
Pwet
Hello there, anything you need?
Why is VrChat being buggy and crashing every few minutes
@covert linden dango prom had a live stream the night of the event :p
hi hi
I need to update it with some kind of looping video now
That live stream used a special audio visualizer that made things in the world react to the music
anyone know good gumi swim suit avis
hi
Hi
henlo
the servers are down?
alot of people are getting stuck on a infinite loading screen
any1 know why this happening
no clue
https://i.gyazo.com/36b91aeb4ab1070f232b3e23090cc46e.png
a lot of buttons truncating
its the servers
Yay they brought back nikout13 world
Noice
oi vey
I'm new in here.

Something wrong?
Sorted out
Is this SoundCloud?
Blazing Tiger guy was posting walls of text i think
Yep
Yep
He's been kicked 😉
i got it YAY
Oof.. I was watching TheMuteList.
Looked like lyrics to his 🔥 mixtape
TCL's the guest right now


One advantage of being a Twitch-er on mobile is that I can still check the Discord from the PC
Yea you need to have your phone nearby when in vr
Leeroy go home
sorry?
You've been in this Discord for a while?
I see
Weellcome
hey there, do I need vr to use vrchat? I wanna see all the cool stuff but can't afford vr
nice, i'll download it right now
o.o is that jamie? oh snap
Just get a vr person to pretend to be your hands 
Talking about Jamie Vatarga, Benden?
Hey I took this picture in some world I can't remember. if anyone could recognize it I would appreciate it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/338127170465693696/548334128228073473/VRChat_1920x1080_2019-02-10_02-01-51.686.png
Hmm.. I really don't remember seeing this map
I was dumb and didn't favorate it before it was pushed off recent 😃
Aaaw nu
Oof.. man
i believe its currently not public as the authors updatin it
it has the name 1336 in it
Say... aren't you the Bedroom Theater map creator?

As I thought. That avatar is certainly familiar to me
hecc
o-o
Im sorry for him, thats my friend hes just... idk what hes doin
Wait.. he's your friend?
Julians the one I bought the pc from
Hes also in a groupchat with me, hes one of my best friends
I see.. the comment's out of the blue though
It issss... I messaged him about it
Part of me thinks it wasnt intended for this discord server but our groupchat we have
xd

Yea.. don't mention it
\
lol 1 of de best vrcat gifs https://discordapp.com/channels/189511567539306508/337679895721148419/548356112840130562

It's alright..
Just take care not to let slip the Enter key.
And remember to read the #rules
Due to recent changes, we have to be a bit more strict on enforcing the rules, and we sort of have to judge if you're a spammer or not depending on what you decide to send.
Damn welp good thing I’m not a spammer lmao
Is the Great Pug gone for anyone else?
That means people will be in other worlds finally
Or you know, more likely the box will be more crowded 😔
I think they've already migrated to another map, some snowy train map I believe
Yea idk how they co-ordinate so well
Everyone else is just a hivemind, the only real people are the ones who talk in discord
active worlds
In any discord?
or new ones that show up in spotlight
that about it except for thse private world groups
Aye, kind of a shame to see Rootgentle taking all of his maps down though
All Neko avatars are ugly, FACT
I think the game is slowly turning into an ERP simulator
There are more private rooms everyday
Well, maybe quickly
It's always been erp simulator 

Everyone randomly parties, simulator
ERP, Draw me like one of your French girls
Can't mention that name here
Kek, I mean I enjoy public@over private
My requests for ERP avatars have been getting heavy lately.
@zinc solar I don't think you can mention the name "VRCM---" here

Private is weird as fuck tbh, I’m here to talk with people and have interactions that you wouldent ever have in the real world
You should see the bedroom maps, dungeons, and "doll" rooms
@zinc solar ay if you make avatars from scratch, I’m willing to pay

The say what now map...?
Nah, I do avatars from scratch for free. But expect a looooooooonnnnnnnngggggggg wait
Nah I pay fuckers for their time
Bu requests are currently full
Plenty of non publushed worlds with very questionable content 
Wouldn't that translate to not making an avatar at all?
I don’t take free shit.
@indigo fern really is it that bad? Damn man...
I’m not surprised at the same time tbh
Right now I'm making some more league of legends K/DA ERP avatars, then someone wanted a furry dragon avatar, after that, more furry ERP.
been getting an awful lot of furry avatars.....
and erp it seems

You do realize, I can take note of all this?
When you work on them as much as me you have enough animations and props to let even non-vr users can ERP
Take note of me elire 
Noted..

Welp, you kids have fun. Back to twerk
Haven't seen in game for a while either 
Wot times do you usually play now a days?
Usually the mornings and late afternoons
Mornings, usually tryna meet people from VRChat's older days.
who is that in ur pfp, elire
The afternoons, taking time to visit random worlds
✍
Jesus what’s up with people and erp? I will never get it. Ever
@chilly storm Jersey-kun.. an OC of op_u_na
Guess they can’t get people in person? I dunno
Yo elire, maybe you should uh, dm that instead
oh thx

Dunno, you sure he won't find out about those?
Well, as you know that artist has some uhh, juicy content
ITS A GUY????????? @queen mango
Correct
Yes.
WHYYYYYYYY
Sigh
People still think I'm a girl

whats with all these traps
Anime culture these days demanded for more of them
O.o
Even in VRChat, you can see the effects.
is this proof that anime will turn you gay
100%
AYAYA
Ok, I can meme without being timed out by bot
I'm just posting the name of a Twitch emote, that's all
is there a female, non gay, version of him @queen mango
Nope..
Sorry, you have to accept your fate @chilly storm
There are some pics by that artist actually
Do it or forever be labeled a normie
🔫
But youd have to search through the trap pics
yup, you'd be a goner by then
search through the trap pics
normie

Pls no..
YOu wanna find the good shit? YOu gotta go through the unfiltered shit
Get used to it
It's all good imo 
just ignore the dick and it'll all be just fine 
That's the first step down a dark path
oh no
Interestingly enough, he isn't a famous trap by any means, but he is an artist's original, and a unique MMD character
It, well he, also fits well for me, since I technically don't want to be one, but still want to be identified as one.
🤔
We talking about twink mmd models?

#avatars-2-general might be your best bet
Thank you 😃
Vrchat slowly dying. Sometimes I wonder how they can make it popular
morning
Good morning c:
Idk vrc is kinda just as popular as it was last year in my opinion, I haven't noticed much change
Imma start playing it more come Saturday night if that means anything XD
Hey all. I'm trying to do password recovery but when i type in my new password it says
And it won't let me change my password. So i have no way to get into the SDK, or log in at all
Anyone have advice?
Everyone who might be able to help are either asleep or working, if I knew how to fix this I would, I’m sorry ):
clearing cache, try to do the recovery again and be sure not to put any weird signs when typing in the new password
its cool to see a world popped out featuring 1weekinvr

hi
Hewo 0300
Heya how do you fix the fact that people's avatars just disapear when they are too close from you ?
