Yeah, stuff comes out very “scuffed” with medium, but still a fun program to use

umbral reef
#

Performance is performance
dynamic bone effects performance
Removing it would be dumb

#

With that logic we could have argued because we have a limit for particles they should be removed from all other limiters

cold talon
#

even better, use the average performance score instead of lowest

small wing
#

Keep dynamic bones in the ranking system so that I can only show them for friends.

languid beacon
#

There’s a dynamic bone limiter, which I use. Blocking very poor avatars just because they attempted to use lots of dynamic balance is pointless to me

umbral reef
#

Bahka, what thing counts worse then what though? if everything is the same then its even more flawed then RN

faint skiff
#

Is the dynamic bone limiter per avatar, or for the whole area?

ornate finch
#

per avatar

languid beacon
#

Even better it’s per avatar and per animation frame

faint skiff
#

Ah that's fine then

cold talon
#

wait what?

languid beacon
#

If you’re under the limit you’re fine if an animation put you over the limit they disable until you’re under the limit again

faint skiff
#

What do you feel is a fair max for a normal avatar?

tacit plank
#

Can we modify that limit? I forgot

languid beacon
#

We can modify the limit but it’s in a config file

faint skiff
#

@tacit plank Yeah, it's in the menu

umbral reef
#

Tbh what we got now... For public atleast

tacit plank
#

Because recently I saw an avatar with 3500 bones, 849 of which had a dynamic bone scripts. And 28 colliders lol

languid beacon
#

In client you can simply turn the limit on or off but you can’t modify the values

small wing
#

I'm just waiting for VRChat to decide on dropping custom name tag's tbh.

faint skiff
#

I thought you could, but maybe the value wasn't editable.

small wing
#

Let people earn vanity name plates.

languid beacon
#

Yeah it’s kind of hidden away but the toggle is in the client menus

small wing
#

Get em at events or something

tacit plank
#

Is there a json for it?

umbral reef
#

I love anything but the current use for nameplate colors

faint skiff
#

@languid beacon Does it show the number in the menu?

languid beacon
#

Yes

small wing
#

I just wanna have a red name plate

cold talon
#

love anything but the current nameplate draw call

faint skiff
#

Ah, I must have assumed you could change it then

tacit plank
#

Polygon limit file was nice. I'm not sure if it even exists anymore though

snow wadi
#

The second they introduced the ranking system I was instantly ranked trusted

languid beacon
#

I like the nameplate icons, I just want to get rid of the friend icon showing even when the menu was closed their name plate is already yellow get rid of the icon

snow wadi
#

Those worlds I made paid off

tacit plank
#

They had the ranking system in place like a year before the colors were visible

#

I used to check it manually

snow wadi
#

Did you know trusted used to have the yellow border?

cold talon
#

ah veterans, good times

snow wadi
#

Or veterans sorry thank you

tacit plank
#

Yeah yellow was veteran, I got that rank 1500 hours of playtime ago lol

languid beacon
#

Did you know veteran is still around the client just shows them as trusted

tacit plank
#

Please put in more, just to give me something to do

snow wadi
#

And when I showed at some friends they all pointed at my name and went "HOW?!!"

cold talon
#

bruh how much do you play holy

small wing
#

Should have kept veteran tbh, made no sense in removing something because "it was the top rank and made people upset" That just makes the next one down the same thing imo.

indigo fern
#

Let me prestige and go back to visitor lmao

tacit plank
#

People got wayy to butthurt over the vet rank

languid beacon
#

the reason It was removed is it had no actual difference between trusted except bragging rights

near saffron
#

Was a bit pointless tho, even more so then trusted

cold talon
#

yoo wanna be new user again yes please

tacit plank
#

Probably insecure

small wing
#

Imagine that in real life lol. "Oh i'm mad at you because you play piano more than me, time to break your fingers"

kindred pulsar
#

hi

#

i just need support

snow wadi
#

And the dude like shows up at your house with like a baseball bat xD

kindred pulsar
#

creating an account

languid beacon
#

I would prefer it if you couldn’t give lower features to higher ranks

kindred pulsar
#

the stupid checkbox for the terms and conditions is unclickable

tacit plank
#

It had no difference in functionality at the time, but lets agree now that "trusted" people are not trustworthy at all

cold talon
#

lul why adeon?

plush wraith
#

hey guys 🤠

languid beacon
#

OK that’s a pretty big bug

kindred pulsar
#

anyone else have the same issue?

languid beacon
#

:excellent:

indigo fern
#

:excellent:

kindred pulsar
#

i even opened the terms pages and scrolled all the way to the bottom, because i wondered if it was tracking that

languid beacon
#

Dang it no more nitro perk lol

snow wadi
#

What...what are you guys doing?

tacit plank
#

"Trusted" became too easy to get. Even veteran didn't take much

plush wraith
#

happy 4th of july

kindred pulsar
#

:/ so i just want to start playing but since it won't let me check the stupid box

plush wraith
#

awe man :/

languid beacon
#

Are you in VR or desktop Starco

kindred pulsar
#

desktop

plush wraith
#

lol

faint skiff
#

Well I've got like 50 hours, a bunch of friends and several avatars uploaded. I guess I need a few hundred more hours before I go from blue to something else?

tacit plank
#

So it doesn't have much of a meaning. Trusted users will probably become trustworthy again when the mods start moderating. Because getting to high ranks while breaking rules would become a challenge

languid beacon
#

Can anyone else reproduce the issue is is the first I’ve heard of someone not being able to check the TOS checkbox

snow wadi
#

Wait Star have you tried to maximize the window?

kindred pulsar
#

no. i'll try that

languid beacon
#

Also @hot sedgeco Could you print screen the box showing the checkbox that you can’t click

kindred pulsar
#

wait it was maxed already

tacit plank
#

Probably, yeah. But 50 hours is like a week of playing lol

snow wadi
#

Ok press Alt-Enter

#

While in the game window

languid beacon
#

Either way if this is true it definitely needs a bug report because you’re the first that’s actually come here saying so Most people probably just silently give up

kindred pulsar
#

i can't attach a file...

#

i can dm it to you

snow wadi
kindred pulsar
#

game window? but i'm not in the game, i'm on the create account page

snow wadi
#

OH

#

In the browser?

kindred pulsar
#

yeah

snow wadi
#

Which one are you using?

kindred pulsar
#

actually maybe the browser's the issue? i'm on chrome

snow wadi
#

Try opera or firefox

#

Or even edge, if you're on windows 10

languid beacon
#

Yeah it’s a browser

cold talon
#

and dont use ad blocking software, some sites might behave in weird ways

languid beacon
#

However chrome works for me so that’s even more bizarre

kindred pulsar
#

i have been burned by ads in the past

snow wadi
#

Chrome does the strangest things to different users

kindred pulsar
#

not making an exception for vr chat

languid beacon
#

Their website doesn’t have ads but OK nice flex

snow wadi
#

Like sketchfab DIES in chrome but in opera it loads the site flawlessly

tacit plank
#

allow VRChat, refresh, accept ToS, disable it again

kindred pulsar
#

ok the page is taking forever to load

snow wadi
#

Give it time

cold talon
#

thats because the ads are loading

tacit plank
#

Lmao

kindred pulsar
#

are there ads in-game

snow wadi
#

If that doesn't work just pop into another browser and try with that

kindred pulsar
#

also you can use a controller with this right

snow wadi
#

No, not ads in there

#

Yes you can

cold talon
#

holy thats actually a really good idea

snow wadi
#

DON'T

cold talon
#

thanks getting to work rn

snow wadi
#

Lets not go 2K with this game

#

@_@

cold talon
#

time to make some moneyyyVRC_Sunglasses VRC_Money

snow wadi
#

Get back here!

kindred pulsar
#

alright it's working

#

what world should i join

snow wadi
#

Nnnnice

cold talon
inner cape
#

yes

snow wadi
#

Um start with the hub, and get used to the controls and menu system

#

When you're ready, there are quite a few worlds out there for you to explore.

kindred pulsar
#

um what app do i use to launch this

cold talon
#

the vrchat app

snow wadi
#

You can choose a world to go to by opening the menu, choosing the Worlds tab and then pick your flavor!

kindred pulsar
#

do i download it on their website?

cold talon
#

yep

#

or steam

snow wadi
#

You use Steam? Because it's there as well.

languid beacon
#

you actually can't download it from their website anymore. Oculus Home, Steam, or Viveport are the only download sites now

cold talon
#

after you get out the tutorial world join a world called "the great pug" to meet @inner cape

inner cape
#

bruh

kindred pulsar
#

dammit. i actually hate steam

languid beacon
#

then don't use it, you have 3 options

inner cape
#

I ditched the pug

cold talon
#

huh wonder why they removed it

inner cape
#

black cat is my best friend now

snow wadi
#

Ghost...are you sure...the pug didn't ditch YOU? @_@

cold talon
#

X doubt

rigid crescent
#

Black Cat is nice but kinda big

inner cape
#

that's the whole point, mic

lunar shell
#

Black cat is too spread out.

inner cape
#

gachiBass

languid beacon
#

The Black Cat isn't as big as the pug.

snow wadi
#

The only thing I like about black cat is I can throw axes at randoms trying to have a drink

kindred pulsar
#

vrchat is free right

languid beacon
#

People forget the pug is like 4 floors 😛

snow wadi
#

Yep

languid beacon
#

Yes, VRChat is free, ad-free, and unmonitized

rigid crescent
#

Its more spread out is the thing.

lunar shell
#

Free so far.

languid beacon
#

it'll always be free. it might be possible to pay for things in the future.

inner cape
#

pug has a lot of floors but they are small as hecc

cold talon
#

wow thanks

#

sure that was spam

weary needle
#

oi

tawny ore
#

I just had an evil idea.
Create an avatar that has mirrored surfaces... BECOME THE MIRROR.

vestal pier
#

Good luck

languid beacon
#

Mirror scripts (actually, all scripts) are stripped away from avatars by both the uploader and clients 😛

cold talon
#

too bad that does not really work anymore

tawny ore
#

Thank god 😄

kindred pulsar
#

i don't want a viveport account 😦

vestal pier
#

You can use a very reflective surface

cold talon
#

HAHA get spammed !

snow wadi
#

Just stand there for like 5 minutes and when there are enough people, run off to the side while giggling

vestal pier
#

You dont need a viveport account

languid beacon
#

if you can manage to do a reflection as a shader on an avatar, it will work, but those can only be so good.

tawny ore
#

@snow wadi That's where all the VR guys have their GPU's screaming "I have to render it HOW MANY TIMES?!?"

cold talon
#

reflections only work in worlds with reflection probes tho

vestal pier
#

Depends what kind of reflections

snow wadi
#

Render moar, you GPU twit!

languid beacon
#

mirror scripts are separate from and don't need reflection probes

still lark
#

@languid beacon Uhh not all, otherwise things like your avatar descriptor won't work. :P

kindred pulsar
#

ummm it's trying to make me use steam. how do i stop that

languid beacon
#

well, they are stripped out of your upload and replaced with their own sanitized copies

#

but yes you are right

cold talon
#

i was talking about the reflective surface you could try to use for reflective mirror wannabe avatar

kindred pulsar
#

i already linked my google account

#

i guess that's not enough....i hate this

cold talon
#

we need cameras on avatars tbh

#

like proper ones, not the hacky works arounds

languid beacon
#

i keep meaning to try but have never gotten around to it, if you make a empty script called "Dynamic Bone" I wonder if the server will strip it out and replace it with the real one - even though you may not own it.

still lark
#

I'm unsure if they actually get uploaded, but the way it works is by name reference.

languid beacon
#

Cameras seem to work reliably as long as it's a private upload

still lark
#

So the answer to your question is yes

cold talon
#

it sould, but depends on how they check the script

#

oh so just the name is enough?

languid beacon
#

I've gotten third person working reliably but the avatar MUST be private or it breaks

still lark
#

It never uses what the avatar bundle provides, just the name.

kindred pulsar
#

so i can't get around linking steam to this?

cold talon
#

oh was expecting it to do some other checks but guess that makes sense, it would be unnecessary

still lark
#

Yup Bahka.

kindred pulsar
#

why..

inner cape
#

why do you not like steam?

languid beacon
#

Steam is not required to download or play the game, but Steam is required to download the Steam version.

cold talon
#

oh you dont need steam to be linked, just use the account created on their page

kindred pulsar
#

i was on the viveport download

#

but it's now downloading steam

languid beacon
#

I didn't think Viveport needed steam, but I've never touched the Viveport version

#

I know 100% for sure the Oculus Home version does not need Steam installed

#

Maybe you like Facebook more than Steam? 👼

kindred pulsar
#

wut

cold talon
#

be careful what you answer

#

(this choice will impact your gameplay)

#

Steam <( )> Facebook

languid beacon
#

Oculus is owned by Facebook, was my joke

#

He seems very persistent on not wanting to install Steam so he's probably one of those types that hate Valve for some reason, so I figured, hey, try the Oculus Home version, no need to install a Valve Product. Just install a Facebook one. I'm being a smartass. And now I'm explaining a joke. Look what you've done to me.

inner cape
#

tfw download oculus software just to play desktop vrc FeelsWeirdMan

cold talon
#

choose. wisely.

kindred pulsar
#

how can i use oculus software on desktop? it says i have to have it...

inner cape
#

you can

languid beacon
#

run it without a headset

inner cape
#

you can play thr desktop version of vrc from the oculus software

languid beacon
#

I was only halfway joking though, as far as DRM clients go, Steam is way more lightweight than Oculus Home, lol

cold talon
#

and steam vr crashes way more
oh wait thats not a positive

kindred pulsar
#

how do i run it? it just says purchased now

near sky
#

If you're running the desktop VRC version out of Oculus' software I don't believe the VR layer or Oculus Home runs at all.

languid beacon
#

yeah but Oculus Home version has some annoying bugs in desktop mode, it really wasn't made with desktop users in mind

near sky
#

By Oculus Home I specifically mean the Oculus Home home environment; do you just mean the launcher?

inner cape
#

what bugs?

languid beacon
#

there's bugs with gestures

inner cape
#

never noticed any

languid beacon
#

i forget what they are specifically

inner cape
#

my gestures work just fine

languid beacon
#

I just use steam when on desktop

#

i only need oculus home for the vr version

cold talon
#

inb4 doing finger gun on both hands crashes entire lobby

languid beacon
#

nah it's something like "hands always stuck as open hand on desktop version of oculus home"

#

maybe they fixed it

inner cape
#

haven't had that

languid beacon
#

cool

inner cape
#

or maybe never noticed, I don't have custom emotes set to open hand

kindred pulsar
#

i can use a controller with vr chat right?

languid beacon
#

@kindred pulsar I should warn you if you do plan to eventually get a headset, that if you get a HTC Vive or a Valve Index, using SteamVR is required for all games. If you get an Oculus, Steam is also required for most good games.

#

pc gaming without steam isn't really... a thing... for the last decade or so

cold talon
#

steam is required for games 🤷

inner cape
#

epic games store would like to know your location

languid beacon
#

I mean I knew someone who just by luck was only into Blizzard, Origin, and Uplay games, so they never had steam. but it seems so crazy to me.

cold talon
#

no please don't take my unreal engine subscription no please nooooo

inner cape
kindred pulsar
#

i don't understand why you all love steam

languid beacon
#

Steam is required for VR, basically

inner cape
#

why do you dislike it?

kindred pulsar
#

why do you like it?

inner cape
#

bruh

cold talon
#

because we dont see what is so wrong about it

languid beacon
#

You're in a server called VRChat.

#

We like VR

umbral reef
#

Because it provides a lot of free services, the alternatives lack loads of those things.

cold talon
#

yes the chat function is kind of wonky, but the rest is ok

inner cape
#

hes delusional, take him to the infirmary

languid beacon
#

three out of the 4 biggest headsets require Steam

#

is this an adequate explanation lol

umbral reef
#

That also, Steam has done a lot of awesome stuff for VR.

languid beacon
#

the one headset that doesn't require Steam is made by Facebook, and there are more anti-facebook people than anti-steam

cold talon
#

now that we explained why we like it, could you explain why you dislike it?

kindred pulsar
#

um it says select right to continue

inner cape
#

wha

languid beacon
#

I suppose it depends if they hate Valve in general, or just their Steam product. Would they use other Valve products, and just not Steam, etc

#

I don't meet many anti-valve people so I don't know where they stand on things like that

umbral reef
#

I am against some of there things but its more like me disliking google for being google while also praising loads of these shit

languid beacon
#

I mean, I hate Facebook. I've never made an account and never will. Oculus is my favorite headset. I have no problem using it and supporting them.

umbral reef
#

Well my facebook hate goes far enough that i wont use oculus stuff even

languid beacon
#

too comfy for me

umbral reef
#

I dont see them as two companies and more as one. I am forced to use Watsapp and thats it 🤷

languid beacon
#

I don't see them as two companies

#

I just hate individual products

inner cape
#

but you have an oculus, oclac

languid beacon
#

I won't call off all flavors of pop-tarts because they make strawberry

inner cape
#

🗿

languid beacon
#

I just won't buy strawberry

umbral reef
#

I dont ghosto

vestal sleet
#

Meh not using a product because of the company but not the product quality or stuff itself is a pretty lame idea but that just me.

umbral reef
#

I got a vive as i vote with my money

cold talon
#

wow strawberry man?

languid beacon
#

Man Screw strawberry

umbral reef
#

You indirectly promote there behavior unless it hurts there end line.
That is done by not using a product or not buying it.

languid beacon
#

it tastes like medicine

cold talon
#

got oculus but that was before facebook, dont look at me

tawny ore
#

I've only recently got my Rift S; It is definitely a good starting point to get into VR... But I'll end up moving to Vive once Cosmos launches.
I can see individual pixels with the Rift S and it bugs me :< Stupid eyesight.

languid beacon
#

got DK2 before facebook, got CV1 after facebook

vocal shard
#

Yo, is there a way to change the controller scheme on vive? Gestures activate too easily with the default one.

vestal sleet
#

I mean that basically what the other guy is like " I don't wanna use steam so I just won't play VRChat " which is kind of lame

languid beacon
#

am still gonna buy a quest as well

kindred pulsar
#

it says press right

vestal sleet
#

There is vive advance setting

cold talon
#

yikes don't know what pop tarts are those but if they taste like medicine, something is really wrong there

tawny ore
#

Cough medicine in snack form

languid beacon
#

vive controllers are jank, Index needs a revision. i do find lighthouse better technology, but Oculus wins in creature comforts

inner cape
#

creature comforts

umbral reef
#

@vestal sleet Well only reason i do not use a company if there main focus is greed and they often break ethical human rules... So i still get to use most services. And else il go out of my way to still hurt there endline but blocking all data for example on me for a service.

kindred pulsar
#

the vive app doesn't show the store

tawny ore
#

Kitten VR... the worlds fluffiest VR headset

vestal sleet
#

Meh it is up to you

tawny ore
#

Put it on the cat and watch it go

cold talon
#

the vive controllers are and will always be jank, but now you can get index to replace em

languid beacon
#

I'd wear it and sneeze constantly and still use it

vestal sleet
#

Index controller at having issues

#

And the fact that they take long time to ship if u order now zzzzz

languid beacon
#

the index controller will break into 7 peices if you almost look at directly while thinking negative thoughts

tawny ore
#

One thing I do like about Index headset - the front panel has an extension hidden beneath it... meaning people can mod the crap out of it... You could make it..... do stuff.

#

Is it that cheaply made?

cold talon
#

the valve shipping center is on fire currently, so it make sense

languid beacon
#

It's been dropped from 3 feet on carpet and broken

tawny ore
#

damn

vestal sleet
#

Just look up people comment on the thumb stick clicking issue aside from it built quality

inner cape
tawny ore
#

I've banged my Rift S controllers into walls, computers, coats, doors, ceilings and pretty sure I hit a bird once

vestal sleet
#

Not like I can get the index in Canada anyway, but I probably would still jump ship to index cuz wand suck ass

languid beacon
#

i've seen at least 4 different my controller broke into peices posts on reddit

inner cape
#

people were so hyped for index, thought it would be the new era, new perfect vr

vestal sleet
#

Ya that really scare me how fking broken the index is @languid beacon

languid beacon
#

I don't want to hate on Valve Index, I really want this headset, but man, am I glad I'm far back in the queue

vestal sleet
#

The index tech is good , but the quality feel rushed

north axle
#

Index is good and probably the best headset to date but it has its disadvantages for sure.

cold talon
#

they probably weren't using the protective case for them

languid beacon
#

F for our people who take one for the team and are early adopters

#

please stay in queue so I can get a later revision, thanks

north axle
#

Some people really complain about the Index controllers.

vestal sleet
#

I am a rather careful person tho so I don't think I will break it

#

But I would get a revision one anyway *cough Canada plz *

cold talon
#

F Lexz F Tiara

inner cape
#

pls keep buying and funding VR so I can buy a better headset that comes after index in a few years

#

🗿

tawny ore
#

There's that Pimax headset

#

with stupid FOV

languid beacon
#

No joke, 100% serious, not trolling: All the negative reports of Valve Index have had me considering getting a Quest instead

cold talon
#

more fov better

tawny ore
#

Why not go further - take Go instead?

languid beacon
#

Well specifically I want to get into making Quest content for VRC

rigid crescent
#

Yeah I'm glad I didnt get the controllers yet.

kindred pulsar
#

oh my, vive wants me to get a payment plan

rigid crescent
#

I routinely fixed any issues with my vive controllers by banging them on shit

tawny ore
#

xD

rigid crescent
#

You can't even drop the index controller lol

kindred pulsar
#

can i get around this

rigid crescent
#

Buy one on Amazon?

languid beacon
#

yeah, people keep saying "my index controller broke when i dropped it" how did you drop it

vestal sleet
#

The quest is good but the computing power is kind of lame for a game as intensive as VR chat especially since people avatar are super unotipmized imo

cold talon
#

just dont drop it 4Head

rigid crescent
#

Things fall, people make mistakes, but there should be s certainl amount of structural integrity

north axle
#

They probably put their controller on something that wasn't a hand.

inner cape
#

gachiBass

kindred pulsar
#

do you guys have to have a monthly plan to use vive

snow wadi
#

How do you drop a strapped controller...

rigid crescent
#

I've NEVER dropped any controller and had it break

languid beacon
#

Well I was going to get a quest and use it as a wireless pcvr headset, i've heard reports the latency is really negligable

rigid crescent
#

The thumb stick thing is inexcusable

umbral reef
#

@languid beacon Gotta use a sideload program for that though

rigid crescent
#

Just buy the Vive and don't do a payment plan...

kindred pulsar
#

um i can't move forward on vive

snow wadi
#

Huh

languid beacon
#

i have oculus+vive hybrid tracking, i'm used to jank

cold talon
#

well, thank you all for your feedback regarding the valve index controllers, ill report back to gaben

tawny ore
#

Does rift S work with lighthouses nearby?

cold talon
#

🏃

languid beacon
#

ha

vestal sleet
#

I didn't look into that but I heard good stuff about it (quest pc)

tawny ore
#

That would be an interesting kind of jank

vestal sleet
#

Also it should

inner cape
#

android sent by valve*

snow wadi
#

Rift S doesn't interfere with lighthouses

languid beacon
#

Lighthouse helps Rift S see in a dark room lol

tawny ore
#

Oh wicked; guess who's gonna drop half a thousand on stupid dongles and lighthouses.

vestal sleet
#

The only reason oculus and lighthouse don't go well is because they both use IR channel

languid beacon
#

yeah 1.0 vive trackers don't work with oculus

#

touch controllers blind them

tawny ore
#

Oh that's nastaaaay

languid beacon
#

2.0 trackers are fine with oculus as long as they are kept about 5 cm away

kindred pulsar
#

which key is move forward? w just makes me move up

languid beacon
#

you may have a gamepad plugged in

tawny ore
#

Adeon can you DM me an image of a 2.0 tracker? Because I've no idea what either of those look like

languid beacon
#

sure

cold talon
#

up? thats not supposed to happen

#

h-how did you, what!?

tawny ore
#

How does w go up?

kindred pulsar
#

no, i don't. i'm using keyboard

#

since i found no controller option

vestal sleet
#

2.0 tracker is blue

#

1.0 tracker is discountined long ago

cold talon
#

oh thats a neat config

tawny ore
#

I like that setup lol

vestal sleet
#

🅱osto is he one of your kind?

snow wadi

Some people got smart and bought book straps to use with the tracker xD

inner cape

kindred pulsar
#

ok, now steam has the game downloaded

snow wadi
#

Wait you just said you couldn't move forward

vestal sleet
#

Cost me like 10$ to make

snow wadi
#

How did you move forward if the game JUST downloaded? o.o

inner cape
#

dude its legit taking you so long to install a damn game on steam

languid beacon
#

he's not using steam

cold talon
#

he is moving up tho

#

im so confused as to the state he is in now

inner cape
#

he just said steam has it downloaded

languid beacon
#

Rebuff reality had a two straps + hip stram bundle for vive trackers, i actually only use the hip one because i tied the feet trackers into my shoelaces.

tawny ore

Maybe he was looking at a wall and actually pressed S, thinking he's loooking at the floor and thought he's flying

6 minutes and I'll eject myself out of this building and sprint (at a walking pace) home... where I will put a plastic thing on my head and flail with my hands as the cat watches me in horror

kindred pulsar

ok i don't know the controls, how to i close the menu

cold talon
#

same button used to open it 🤔

#

so right now you are playing from oculus platform?

kindred pulsar
#

no, steam

#

oculus had broken controls, i couldn't move forward

inner cape

I dont even know anymore

#

what's in this guys head

tawny ore

This is all very confusing

#

I bet he's probably on an ipad

actually playing pokemon green

cold talon

ok he is in the game, thats what matters

tawny ore

But which game?

cold talon

These are the worst communication skills I've seen from anyone in a while

inner cape
#

eh

kindred pulsar
#

how do i change my username

inner cape
#

playing from a steam account? just change it on steam

cold talon
kindred pulsar
#

my steam username is different than my vr username

inner cape
#

if you're playing from a vrchat account, how did you end up creating a name you want to change few minutes later

kindred pulsar
#

i'm on steam

inner cape
#

(sorry, brain lag, fixed sentence, read again)

languid beacon
#

You can only change your name every 3 months...

#

Thankfully, this does not include creating an account.

kindred pulsar
#

i didn't even choose my name, i'm just named after my email...

cold talon
languid beacon
#

I'm pretty sure that's your steam name.

cold talon
#

does it have numbers after it?

languid beacon
#

The numbers aren't always visible fyi

cold talon
#

dang

inner cape
#

I feel bad cause I'm chuckling over this

snow wadi
#

It's only visible if the name is short

languid beacon
#

my guess is they are on a steam account. the'll need to merge their account and then they get to type a custom name.

snow wadi
#

But pointing at the person and checking their stats will show the numbers methinks

languid beacon
#

yeah

#

Also congratulations on installing steam your gamer card is in the mail

cold talon
#

or create new account on the website and keep both :smart

you thinks right

this hurts on a physical level

also which search bar there are like a hundred

kindred pulsar

i'm serious, it's not clickable. the one in the menu

I don't believe there's a cursor. you can just type

every time I think I'm patient and vrcd always proves me wrong

Haha, try being tech support for Second Life. You get this, only they are middle aged housewives who don't know anything about computer

cold talon

you mean like the on on world search menu ?

the "menu" is too vague

Could you print screen the search bar

once you click on the search bar it pops up a keyboard and you can start typing

This is the most werid interaction I seen

kindred pulsar

does this server have one?

the search bar still doesn't work. i keep clicking on it

@languid beacon We don't talk about the shame that was Second Life.

languid beacon

What are you expecting to do with the gamepad? You can't do much other than turn around and jump.

kindred pulsar
#

jumping doesn't work on it either

inner cape

you can rotate and play around with pick up able's

kindred pulsar

y scrolling is super slow

VRChat is better in every way anyway

@kindred pulsar VRChat supports desktop, but it's not really made or polished for it. It's very limiting, and is mostly just there to get people in the door even though they can't do much without a VR headset.

you left us to get full body tracking and become a vr dancer!?

It's to stream the pc version wireless

i'm upside down

Ahh

languid beacon

wireless fullbody OP

inner cape
#

nice bold and italic you have there

languid beacon

Yes

cold talon

move in any direction to get up from the chair

quest + vive fullbody is cheaper than vive + fullbody + wireless

cold talon

ƃuᴉʇɐɯɹoɟ lɐɯɹou ǝɔᴉu

inner cape
#

I met a guy who hooks up his quest to his PC and can get a full PC vr experience

kindred pulsar
#

ok now what

languid beacon
#

yeah that's what i'mma do

cold talon
#

what we need is the ability to run quest version of vrc on pc

languid beacon
#

the downside is no one will believe i'm on quest because i'll have a PC tag 😛

cold talon
#

than anyone with even the shittiest pc could run it

inner cape
#

only real downside is it still has battery time

vestal sleet
#

It is not that unbelievable

languid beacon
#

I don't know, running bluestacks on windows is kind of intensive

vestal sleet
#

I seen a few people who does that

languid beacon
#

the emulation of android alone is probably more overhead than the benfit of rendering a simpler enviornment

cold talon
#

battery would be increased tho, as the pc is making the heavy lifting, quest just decodes and displays

hollow breach
#

What’s the point though?

languid beacon
#

yeah if I got a quest I'd get a battery pack for it

vestal sleet
#

Wireless

languid beacon
#

yeah, wireless

cold talon
#

ye that the issue emulating full android is expensive af

languid beacon
#

in full body, that hdmi cable is a real pain

faint skiff
#

Actually the downside would be inferior picture due to compression, battery life, latency and so forth...

languid beacon
#

Well, the quest is higher resolution, so, even with compression, it will still look comparable to rift classic anyway. maybe even better, still

snow wadi
#

If you go full on wireless than you've got alot of charging to do xD

vestal sleet
#

I wish I have the wireless adopter for vive

languid beacon
#

feet trackers last 5 hours on a full charge. quest only lasts 2.5, but a battery pack can extend it to 10

faint skiff
#

I'm curious to know in reality (especially VRChat) how bad the black levels really look on the Quest/RiftS/Index vs the Vive/RiftCV1.

inner cape
#

you're gonna become the battery man

kindred pulsar
#

how do i find people

inner cape
#

with all these power banks strapped to every part of your body

vestal sleet
#

Vive wireless need battery park regardless

snow wadi
#

I have a rift s, and the black levels aren't alarming as some people say.

languid beacon
#

Index's black levels are pretty much the same as CV1 with spud disabled in regedit

snow wadi
#

It has a decent black in dark area, not that dusty looking type.

languid beacon
#

due to your eyes adjusting, the blacks are better than CV1's mura >_>

faint skiff
#

Hmm, that's a little less worrying then. I really do like the empty black feeling of the OLEDs.

languid beacon
#

congrats on your good OLED, then. black levels are terrible on my rift.

snow wadi
#

Index has a god ray issue though

faint skiff
#

But your eyes would adjust to make the greys look worse as they become more sensitive in the pseudo darkness...

#

The Vive has black levels measured at 0.02 compared to 0.23 on the Index I think it was, quite a substantial difference.

languid beacon
#

My CV1 looks awful on default settings. had to disable spud (making perfect black as bright as my brightest pixel with spud on), and the result actually looks darker

faint skiff
#

I'm hoping the much better display (resolution, pixel arrangement, etc) is enough to offset that lack of black. The increased comfort should be a big bonus though. Wearing the Vive for 5 hours or more is... a little taxing (especially as it's one of the originals, before the 20% weight reduction).

languid beacon
#

Index's black levels are a non-issue

#

compared to rift, they look better

kindred pulsar
#

so how do i find people to talk to

faint skiff
#

A lot of people coming from Vives say its really bad in comparison...

languid beacon
#

they aren't as good as vive

#

better than most rifts

faint skiff
#

I've never tried a Rift so I don't have a reference point there.

languid beacon
#

they're better than some OLED headsets, put it that way

snow wadi
#

Index has a few issues but overall it's a nice headset, the price however needs to calm the heck down.

languid beacon
#

Rift's OLED's were inconsistent, they had spud calibration with bad panels, some had good black levels, some had terrible ones

faint skiff
#

Apparently the glare isn't as bad as the Vive and I don't really find it an annoyance on the Vive, so I can live with that.

languid beacon
#

have you used a LCD headset before?

snow wadi
#

The issue with the glare in the index is that, if you have a black screen and then white text shows up it has a bit of a crazy glow effect.

faint skiff
#

@languid beacon Nope, only the Vive

languid beacon
#

Ok if you've never used ANY LCD headset before it's hard to say if you'll like it or not. black levels aren't the issue, it's backlight bleed

faint skiff
#

@snow wadi Yeah, the Vive does that. Apparently it's not as bad in the Index by comparison though, so I don't think it'll worry me.

#

Well yeah, backlight bleed is the reason for the poor black levels...

languid beacon
#

bright objects have a glare effect

#

it's ignorable except in high contrast scenes

#

bright objects in a dark scene really glow, a lot

snow wadi
#

Also be careful, the front of the index cooks up real fast. Thankfully the heat does not reach your face.

turbid trellis
#

My wmr has lcd, I dont have a problem with it tbh

faint skiff
#

I'd like to see someone heat check the Vive too, because that runs hot as well. See how that compares.

snow wadi
#

I had a lenovo explorer before the rift S, the display in that one was actually pretty ok.

languid beacon
#

i have not personally used a index however, i am just comparing Rift to DK1, which was LCD.

faint skiff
#

What I'm hearing is that they all have major issues and none of them are worth getting 😦

languid beacon
#

for what it's worth the reviews have had me hold off on index, but it had nothing to do with the screen.

#

The screen sounds perfectly fine, i wouldn't worry about the LCD screen or black levels at all

#

worry about the easy to break controllers

faint skiff
#

IIRC, there was a storm of "the controllers break so easily, look, mine are already broken!" posts when the Vive first came out too... (admittedly they didn't have thumbstick issues...)

snow wadi
#

The reason I went for the rift s was because I don't want base stations around my room, I also prefer being able to pack it up in one fell swoop when hopping between places.

rigid crescent
#

Yeah there was a d still are

languid beacon
#

as someone who used a Rift for over a year now with Spud off, which is reportably has worse black levels than index, and can turn spud on anytime i want, which reportably has better black levels than index... the differences are negligable. blacks still look perfectly black as long as there's something not-black in the scene.

rigid crescent
#

The difference seems to be the factthese were in literally everyone's hands a d these issues mentioned yet it's still happening

snow wadi
#

And to my surprise the batteries in the controllers are still the same ones since a week now, and it's still almost full. That's impressive.

turbid trellis
#

Wmr batteries are terrible, I've changed em twice now after owning em for 2 days

snow wadi
#

I remember with my WMR, I had to swap batteries on a daily basis.

#

Yea that!

languid beacon
#

touch controller batteries last about 2 weeks, assuming you play as much as i do

snow wadi
#

Also the crazy part? WMR takes 2 batteries per controller, Rift S touch controller takes ONE per controller.

#

Like wtf...

languid beacon
#

touch controllers Agressively go to sleep rather fast

snow wadi
#

Oh mine actually sleep and wake up real fast.

languid beacon
#

yeah, they're quick, they just save power a ton

#

that's why battery

snow wadi
#

It's a smart technical design

#

With WMR, you leave the battery in there for just one hour that's it! Open compartments, chuck them out!

languid beacon
#

I prefer removable batteries as well, I don't like needing to wait to charge things. If i want rechargable batteries, I'll put them in. At least then I can instantly refill instead of waiting around to charge

snow wadi
#

^

languid beacon
#

that's the one reason I don't always use full body. i feel like i'm being timed while using feet trackers

snow wadi
#

And it's piss easy to replace the batteries, takes 10 seconds.

faint skiff
#

On the plus side, the Index controllers support quick-charge.

#

So you'd likely get enough for a session out of them in 5 minutes of charging.

snow wadi
#

I have 8 rechargeable batteries so I got my long sessions covered \o/

languid beacon
#

I'm lazy and I just buy a huge pack of single charge batteries

#

they have a shelf life of 20 years

turbid trellis
#

Same here lol, I've had rechargables ready since the Wii era

rigid crescent
#

I just plug my vive controllers in, they don't die til like 4am when I'm just chilling anyway

snow wadi
#

The adapter I have charges 4 batteries in 2 hours, and seeing the touch controllers stay for a long while without battery change that's a hell of a plus

faint skiff
#

@languid beacon Keep in mind the black levels I'm referring to are on the Vive with the pixels still on (to negate the smear issue). Weirdly enough I cannot find any reports anywhere of the Rift CV1s black levels, brightness, etc (other than 1 report that the Vive was 3 x brighter)

languid beacon
#

CV1 reports will always be sporadic as the headsets themselves are not consistent.

#

people have bought and returned CV1's 2-3 times to get one with good black levels

faint skiff
#

Yikes

languid beacon
#

at least with index, you're garunteed to get consistent black levels..

#

I mean that in multiple ways: every pixel will have the same black level

#

not so on rift...

faint skiff
#

Shame MVA panels aren't better at motion, I moved from IPS to MVA for my TV and desktop PC monitor and it's so much better. The black levels are fantastic.

languid beacon
#

my rift has a horizontal bar that has worse black levels than the rest of the screen

faint skiff
#

Oh god, that'd drive me insane in minutes. Luckily my Vive appears to be devoid of problems (other than weighing 20% more than the later ones...)

languid beacon
#

you can only see it dark scenes when spud is on

#

bright scenes, or turning spud off, it's silkky black due to it rasing every pixels' brightness to the worst pixel

#

and then your eyes adajust, and it looks perfectly black

#

really, i wouldn't worry about black levels

#

the only time they matter is when you have a fully black screen

#

and, what are you doing looking at a fully black screen

snow wadi
#

He's part of the dark side >_>

faint skiff
#

A lot of games are very dark, as in mostly black screen. As are a lot of VRChat words...

languid beacon
#

and they look fine on my rift, which has worse black levels than index x)

I find it surprising that your OLED screen could possibly have worse black levels than an LCD. It only needs to keep the pixels one step above off to stop the smear, which shouldn't be bad at all, certainly not "grey" like many are reporting.

languid beacon
#

As I said, it has worse black levels because i have disabled spud to remove my screen imperfections in dark OLED levels

#

meaning, with spud on, show fully black. find the brightest pixel. that's the brightness of every pixel's 0 0 0 when spud is off

faint skiff
#

You can actually see that on the Vive too in absolute darkness, but it's very faint and doesn't really bother me. I always called it the "starfield".

#

(looks less square blocky on the Vive at least)

#

Apparently it's just an artefact of OLED displays

languid beacon
#

yeah, disabling spud on rift actually removes that. and the result actually looks darker dispite being brighter

#

LCD screens don't have that at all, so even though they are brighter, they look darker

faint skiff
#

So you get just the grey from the image, rather than the black I guess. Hmm, makes sense.

languid beacon
#

the starfeild constantly gives you a darker black to comparea to

#

which is bad

I'm gonna hop onto VRC and cry about my lack of 3D modeling ability... or any ability besides programming for that fact.

languid beacon
#

@tawny ore May 2018 i didn't know anything about blender or unityi

vestal sleet
#

< am a programmer, cannot model

languid beacon
#

@vestal sleet I am a programer and last may i didn't know anything about blender or unity. just try it. if you can code, you can model. TRUST ME.

faint skiff
#

I think the fact the Vive is painfully bright also makes it seem to have much better contrast levels (because it technically does). It's absurdly bright, like painfully so at times).

vestal sleet
#

i mean im sure i can learn it if i put time

#

but then i need to put time and im too lazy

faint skiff
#

Don't listen to Adeon, it's painful. I've spent 20 hours in Blender/Unity so far and have little to show for it.

#

That said, I'm probably just retarded so I may not be a good example.

languid beacon
#

3d modeling, unlike 2d drawing, doesn't require artistic tallent. it's 100% technical skill, the kind of skill programmers have. you have this covered, just actually learn blender's annoying UI, and you've got it made

tawny ore
#

if (softwareInUse.contains("Blender")) {
face.initiateTears(99999, cryDuration(24,7,365));
}

vestal sleet
#

probably will get one commission eventually

tawny ore
#

My cryDuration function is broken because it doesn't support leap years.

vestal sleet
#

just use Epoch LUL

languid beacon
#

if you can code, the only thing keeping you from modeling is actually understanding blender's UI. you already have the kind of brain that's great at 3d modeling

tawny ore
#

Probably but I feel really, really limited/railroaded (due to my logic) when I'm learning how to use the blenders toolkit

languid beacon
#

i can't draw 2d for crap, seriously

vestal sleet
#

nothing keep me from being lazy

faint skiff
#

A lot of Blender seems to be down to magically remembering what does what and unmarked keypresses, which... will take a long time to pick up unless you have a great memory.

turbid trellis
#

I'm learning blender's ui as I go through making my first avatar

languid beacon
#

understanding blender's workflow is important, yes. left click places a cursor, which isn't usually what you want. right click selects things. G is reposition, S is scale, R is rotate, then X Y or Z to force that move along certain axis. then move the mouse or type a distance and hit enter.

tawny ore
#

Another issue I encountered, actually was - Does an avatar HAVE to be moulded in T-pose or is that something we can adjust/ignore?

#

new blender allows left click for selection now

languid beacon
#

vert / edge / triangle mode at the bottom is also important to tell blender what you actually want to select, newbies miss taht

#

then it's just understanding the differences between object mode (basically unity) and edit mode (editing a specific object, other objects inaccesable until you go back up to object mode)

tawny ore
#

Right, time to hop into VR

languid beacon
#

peace

#

I swear I want to tutor blender, but I couldn't help internet people. i have to be at a computer pointing at a screen and showing them things on keyboard

inner cape
#

that's what screensharing is for

turbid trellis
#

hehe I was about to suggest that

faint skiff
#

@tawny ore No, it doesn't have to be T-Posed, but it's easier to work on as the "parts" are then spread out and thus easier to edit without the other limbs getting in the way.

turbid trellis
#

So uuuhhhh how would I send favorite avatars from my steam account to my vrchat account?

vestal sleet
#

just go get it again on ur vrchat account

#

u can link them but idk if that carry ur avatar over

turbid trellis
#

I got basically all of them from other avatars :/

vestal sleet
#

and they all probably came from an avatar world

turbid trellis
#

there are so many avatar worlds though

vestal sleet
#

u can look for where it came from

turbid trellis
#

wait really???

vestal sleet
#

ya u can find the author of the avatar and go to their world

turbid trellis
#

seems fresh tbh

kindred pulsar

someone turned themselves into a portal

You mean treason day?

#

Today I am going to make a grilled cheese bbq tuna sandwich

#

BBQ seasoned -

#

With some chopped or shredded shrimp

#

It will make a great 3D Scanned item for vrchat

#

With crust

#

And an olive on top for 3D scanning ornatation

#

Should I add garlic to the mixture

#

Need jalapeños for cosmetic coloring when it cleans to 3D scanning

desert stratus
#

might as well throw in a cup of pure MSG while you're at it

vocal shard
#

Relish will do I don’t have banana. Pepper

desert stratus
#

that sounds like an...intersting combination for a sandwich'

vocal shard
#

Grilled cheese banana sandwich

#

Sounds good too

#

But how that would process

#

Since it’s a paste based material

#

So rhebshrimps have been seasoned with thyme oregano leaves, garlic bbq rub

#

To make 3D models you must sometimes cook them inrl

snow wadi
#

If anything ff15 had some wonderfully textured food, now if that quality food was in vrchat ovo

#

Wait wtf there's a fan created cook book for the food @_@

kindred pulsar
#

ok

#

gonna go online again

inner cape
#

dude

#

I have seen hyperrealistic food in vrchat

#

meat in particular

#

and its grim

#

creepy

snow wadi
#

Looks so good though!

vestal pier
#

Ive seen some hyper realistic eggplants

north axle
snow wadi
#

Various food or just the one?

north axle
#

Just one true god of food.

vocal shard
#

I made three grilled cheese tuna sandwiches

#

The third and second one are the best

#

Just the quality of texture; the mass of the sandwiches

#

The goal is not to eat but to make the sandwiches look good

#

I ate all three of them though

Is anyone else getting random crashes? I think it's just in one world that I was in but I was wondering if it was happening to anyone else

viral crag
#

How you know if someone mutes you in vrchat? I muted some random and when I unmuted them they were asking why I muted them. How do you check?

umbral reef
#

Yell at them and if they dont respond its clear 👀

viral crag
#

What? Can I get a serious answer?

still lark
#

There is an ear next to their name with a red cross denoting you're muted to them

vocal shard
#

Gonna tkae me 3 hours to get the 3D Scanned Sandwichs.

#

Lots of work. ;c

viral crag
#

No I mean how would they know i muted them

queen mango
#

The will see a crossed-out ear icon. That way they know they've been muted.

viral crag
#

It’s happened to me twice of people asking why I muted them and I have no clue how they knew

#

Ah okay, on my name?

still lark
#

Next to it, yeah.

queen mango
#

On the side of the nametag, but yes

viral crag
#

Thank you

queen mango
languid beacon
#

@cloud panther if their name tag has a icon of ear with an X over it, they can’t hear you. If you mute someone, your name tag gets this icon for them

vocal shard
#

So once my Grilled Cheese Sandwiches are done.. I will put them on my Chef Kermit

languid beacon
#

This also happens when you turn on panic mode, everyone will see that you can’t hear them

vocal shard
#

Or maybe give Kermit a "Grilled Cheese Sandwich Stand"

#

Like a Taco Stand but it's grilled cheese accessories.

languid beacon
#

I recommend flat out blocking people instead of muting, this will make you completely vanish for them, but it’s less noticeable than muting

viral crag
#

Just to check, a mute is only 1 way or 2 way?

vocal shard
#

gonna need to download all my old 3D scanned files.. and delete the storage ;c

still lark
#

1 way

viral crag
#

Okay, thanks

vocal shard
#

These sandwiches take 2gigs out

languid beacon
#

Mute is one way. Block is two way (you both vanish for each other)

still lark
#

They can stil hear you if you mute them.

viral crag
#

Okay, just wanted to make sure jic

queen mango
#

Yeah.. it gets pretty nerve-wracking though, since there are a lot of stuff you say that interests them, yet cannot add to it because they can't hear you.

vocal shard
#

If you ever had a crush

#

Actually let me rephrase is.

#

Imagine if you had a Crush; you see her talk. Then you mute her, you don't know what she saying to you and you just look at her. Good way to use the Mute Button.

umbral reef
#

Such a womanizer move
Im sure they love that

vocal shard
#

And.. if it gets too intense for you.. you hide her avatar.

tacit plank
#

And I thought I was bad with girls

vocal shard
#

then after that.. you speak to her while she muted and hidden avatar

inner cape
#

what

vocal shard
#

tell her good vibes, good things, she will look at you. You won't know what she saying, but you keep going with it.

#

Then you can unmute her and unhide her avatar after you got use to her.

#

I wonder if someone ever done this before and if they did, I wonder what the experience is like.

#

I feel like it might be an One-Sided Conversation personally

umbral reef
#

Pretty sure someone has tried and got a fat block back and ignored lmao

inner cape
#

how about you go and do it

vocal shard
#

but I dont have a crush.

#

hadn't had one since in 5 years

#

Anyone someone will take my idea and use it to help improve themselves probably.

umbral reef
#

Pretty sure they will help themselves only to being blocked, ignored and losing all odds at speaking towards there crush lmao

inner cape
#

I think it's not gonna do any good for ya

#

hello there, a bunch of condoms person

dapper stump
#

Lmao mute her and have a one sided convo sounds great for ur crush i bet she will enjoy that specially during a date

ruby needle
#

No you dont need that.

#

And you better dont look for that here 😃

past quartz
#

but it's so cool mr mod

inner cape
#

well, rip condom person

queen mango
#

That was one big irony there, tbh.

faint skiff
#

But if you mute someone, it auto mutes you from them, so they wouldn't hear you anyway....

queen mango
#

Hmm.. that didn't used to happen back in the 5.6.3p1 version. Perhaps something changed between that and 2017.4.15f1?

faint skiff
#

Well, I was told that's what happens, maybe it's not. In which case, boo to the people that told me that.

dapper stump
#

Oh nuu they should still hear you but you cant hear them

queen mango
#

Yes. That is the result.

faint skiff
#

Hmm, I was told it initiates a two way thing. Thanks for correcting.

She has been ever since she's introduced to AL. Though is isn't technically the right place to chat.

Speaking of which, I never seen any Azur Lane MMD models in VRChat at all.

i have

#

once. private avatar by this one guy, felt like a dream beccause i was literally half awake at the time

#

then passed out after making a joke about epic games buying vrc

#

so i can confirm that they exist, or at least one of them does

#

or two, or like 10 cuz him and his bf had a number of them stocke dup

queen mango

Hmm.. Prinz Eugen?

i thinkkkk

Hmm.. alright. Shame, woulda loved to seen them alongside KanColle avatars.

Just a few, maybe Mitsuki.. but not the other IJN avatars, like Akagi or Kaga.
