Idk much more than that
@inner cape shh
When you all were saying Mini, I thought you meant me, but, I can't really rell @queen mango .I was reading up and I cant really find anything but petty bickering I guess? 
watch the video lmao
@dusk mesa Moonlight Eden isn't all animation based, it's more like a community like ybot
Whats petty bickering o.o
They're claiming they were doxed, but the name is literally on their Discord profile so I'm not sure that really counts..
They put it on there themselves lol
This whole debacle could have been dealt within DMs and not here.
Can legit just click their profile and you'll see "Spotify - Amanda Dixson"
That would be a pretty big risk, honestly. Putting your real name leaves you vulnerable to identity thieves
imagine doxxing yourself 😂
^
Really though, please keep arguments, especially unrelated to vrc, out of the discord and take it to DM, #rules 19
My mum never gave me a real name, i was just called "kid" 
@vast tulip oh, it was about VRC
idk if you saw the Video. c:
Me be quiet now
ybots: we're chill
also ybots: comes here and starts clownery

I don't even have a y-bot D:
same
everyone does technically kappa
I just dont like the robot look as a female 😂 i like a female body and looking cute
so all of this started as an argument about lighting in the pug?
Bruh, artificial 200k polygon ass tho
@tawny ore you lied to me, blue plebs cant use emotes here
Not sure, seems like it. Doesn't change the fact that she said those things lol
@vast tulip nah she just walked in and started being really toxic for no reason
I mean, i met someone yesterday that said he would kill my whole family and track me down in the UK. Jokes on him, I'm Swedish 🐒
Meeeatbaaalll 😍
That might've been his 13 beers speaking and not him though lmfao
Yes, I'm a live Ikea meatball
People say a lot of dumb stuff behind the veil of the internet
I'll be happy once someone fixes the colour grading "white fog" issue in the Pug.
Guy was drunk as hell though, so whatever
Well, after that what happend with the girl who met a dude on discord and he stalked her irl and killed her after i am just being careful I guess 🤷
ye
The internet makes it hard to NOT have something personal in it somewhere
ach it's been a whole month or even more, you're still upside down
That wont happen @faint skiff
What is the white fog issue? I've heard someone say that before, but I dunno what they mean. I haven't had the chance to check it out - can I see it on desktop?
Not sure if you can see it on desktop, but it makes the Pug outright painful to use on the Index.
That's a headset issue.
No, it's not
Yes, it is.
I've never had that issue with my headset.
Only select headsets have that issue..
The Index and the Vive.
Oculus does not.
It's a known issue due to the colour grading, it doesn't affect OLED screens as it was designed with them in mind. Other worlds (that don't have this grading set up) don't have this issue.
And no, the Vive does not have that issue in the Pug
Oh so like the black levels are raised?
I've never had that issue. Ever.
Huehuehue @inner cape
@tranquil cobalt No, it's like someone's bumped up the brightness globally. Literally everything looks like it's got a faint white fog over it.
screw you, fizz
I dont see it with my Oculus either
Never thought of that / never had it
It is a headset issue. it's because the index has an LCD instead of OLED, which has better blacks then an LCD, but, you can try to minimize the white fog by having contrasting light levels near each other. setting the tone mapper to ACES helps because it brings out the contrast in things more
That's a headset issue... and that sounds like the dynamic lighting is causing a bloom effect.
Using Vive btw, might've just never thought about it
@vast tulip No, it's not that.
I guarantee this 100%
I can literally bring up the steam overlay and see normal colours. It's an issue with the Pug specifically.
I work with Physics in Unity.
k.
@subtle trout I really don't care, you have no idea what I'm talking about, clearly
That's hella weird, I'll check it on desktop. I have a grading monitor + should be able to see it (unless he's switching post-processing based off VR or Desktop)
@vast tulip Other worlds are fine, it's literally just the Pug
It's not an LCD issue, it's not a "black level" issue
The whole environment has a fog, regardless of what you're looking at
Yes. Index.
have you ever seen these worlds in vive or rift (not s)
because they dont have that issue at all on those
Yeah I don't know what Enverex is referring to (Rift S)
I'm aware, as I migrated from a Vive. But my point is that all of the colours look blown out. If I switch worlds, the effect immediately disappears, as soon as it hits the loading screen it looks fine. Imaging taking a picture and then blowing up the brightness a bit in an image editor, that's what the Pug looks like. The moment you leave, it's fine.
(not S btw)
If that's the case, it could still not be display I suppose. I think I mentioned it before but you can get a very fogged dull look if data is transmitting within legal ranges rather than full swing
If it was the display, all worlds would look like this. It's literally just the pug. Other worlds, games, etc are all fine.
Blown out? so you're seeing super bright intensities too?
No, it's basically like it's just "boosted" artificially somewhat. As I said, like a white fog.
Doesn't Owlboy have an Index?
https://i.redd.it/1zj6vr32p8821.png Like this? I don't think you can override color space but possibly! Would probably help owlboy track it down
yes, that's because the pug is a dark world with not many contrasting colors, so its noticeable. owl has the index and owl knows it's an issue
@tranquil cobalt VRC forces linear.
I swear to god, you people are really testing me...
Oh, it does enforce it? I remember trying to figure it out, and someone (I think Merlin) put together a test world to show that worlds by default use it but I wasn't sure if it was enforced
@tranquil cobalt Not really. That still looks... relative. This looks like an artificial fog added as a postprocessing action. I'll try and make a picture for you.
not every argument is a personal attack, rex
you seem to unable to accept being in the wrong without taking it as an offense 
Aight I'm back, so y'all saying it's an index/ vive problem?
Remove ego from your questions when looking for help. Be prepared to be misunderstood
@faint skiff one thing I forgot to mention is, depending on how bad it is to you, you might need to verify the files on steam vr, or, just fully reinstall steam vr. many people have had issues with the index, especially people coming from the vive, where things looked really bad or way too blown out, even for an LCD. now, the fact that you say you see it nowhere else makes me think thats not it, but, theres always a chance it is so you might as well try that
@inner cape Nothing to do with personal attacks. It's repeating myself that I'm sick of. If someone tells you a car is blue, stop saying? "Maybe it's because the car is red?"
We're spitballing ideas Rex; for your own assessment
what happens is, the vive has a color profile to artificially raise the blacks so they never reach 100% black, to try and cut down on the mura, and, apparently that mura correction carried over to some peoples index use
that's what an argument is, my guy
if you cant handle the argument, dont participate
@tranquil cobalt Basically like this - https://i.imgur.com/AoIB8aN.png - note that EVERYTHING has this artificial white boost, not just the blacks. And that this only happens in the Pug. Literally all the colours look like they've had this weird brightness boost applied.
@inner cape If you're not going to help, just stop.
ofc I'm not going to, I'm on neither sides here
@tranquil cobalt That said, I don't think the issue carries over to the nameplates or the menu, but they are overly vivid in the first place so I'm not sure if it would be easy to tell.
I'm just pointing out something I've noticed from multiple arguments you participated in, you get pissed off for no reason/ too easily
if its not on the name plate or menu, its not post processing. post processing covers those too
@vast tulip I know people had that issue, but if that were the case, I'd see it everywhere. Not just one world in VRC.
I guess the best troubleshooting idea would be to just wipe all vr software from your PC and start from scratch
In case as Mimi says - there's software bleed over
That magically only applies to a single world in VRChat?
I mean yes, people had that issue, but I can't see how it could be that when it's so limited in scope.
Would d3d DLL injections affect VR by the way?
I'd imagine so...
That could be an interesting experiment
I tried out a bunch of the "blah and sleep" worlds to make sure it wasn't a general or contrast issue and those worlds all looked fine.
Then the only thing I can say to that is - live and let live
It makes the Pug physically painful to be in though, as you can feel your eyes fighting what I imagine cataracts looks/feels like. It was one of my most visited worlds.
Ask the worlds creator to update it
That screenshot looks like an approximation of what happens when you mix up broadcast levels (64-960) and data levels (0-1023). I have no idea why something like that would happen in a single world on a specific HMD tho
I just checked on desktop + I've never been on Desktop but the grade rlly does look nice - props 2 owlboy. (No fog issue tho)
still can't jump in it tho
pog, ach is no longer upside down
@faint skiff Have you tried the West version of The Pug?
@still lark Not recently actually. I can check it later though.
Yeah, try that.
@faint skiff also, try other worlds you know are going to be very dark, like, maybe search for worlds with like "camping" "camp fire" in the name
and look in the areas that arent lit from the fires and stuff
Ain't that like the box with the walls taken down basically?
dont use the box
No, you want an actual world. lmao
@vast tulip Those are all fine. You can see the limitations of the LCD in completely dark areas, but colours and everything look fine. Basically they look as I'd expect. The weirdness with the Pug is that literally everything looks washed out, like everything's a few brightness steps above what it should be.
k.
Whoops
@subtle trout Teach me how to use raytracing in VRChat mommy
https://www.lightillusion.com/img_li/data_legal.jpg https://www.lightillusion.com/img_li/legal_data.jpg Are the difference between these two images how you'd basically describe it?
@tranquil cobalt That's definitely a good representation, yeah.
@spiral seal its not possible to ray trace in vrc, what do you mean?
I agree. seems like a decent representation
Raytracing on avatars would be pretty cool tho
But not that usefull with the current components allowed on avatars
Oh no, not that kind of ray tracing
Given how bad they look with the standard shader, it'll just look like a creepier version of that, lol
Rtx would be terrifying
@tranquil cobalt But yeah. All other worlds (and all other games I've played, including dark ones) look like picture A, Pug looks like picture B.
just want things to look like them figures instead of flat images where you can't discern where the chin ends and the neck begins...
I'm leaning toward something with output dynamic range + drivers, but I have no clue why one world would be affected. It'd make sense if it was just Index seeing this if it was their drivers that had this dynamic range bug. Nvidia had a general issue with this awhile back, but it only seemed to mess it up for HDMI
Oi no chin shaming
https://i.imgur.com/3wLaMl3.png ez thing to fix / test if it was a monitor with a nvidia gpu but because it's vr - of course its gotta be hard haha
VRC hardly runs regularly, how is it gonna run with raytracing
@vast tulip I know, she was flaming everyone and saying that she uses raytracing on her avatar lol
@tranquil cobalt That option is only available when not using Direct Mode and AFAIK that was always a HDMI issue with it defaulting to the crap mode. I switched to Indirect mode and it was already set to full (the headset isn't a "display" when using Direct Mode and thus shouldn't be affected in the first place).
Not chin shaming, I just find it bothersome that so many models use shaders that will pretty much make the chin invisible when the neck is behind it unless the two are given slightly different colors.
and legit screamed at people to kill themselves for saying "That's a standard shader"
I mean, you can ray trace, it's just not worth it.
In VRChat you can't
Unless the devs make it possible to. In current state (and hopefully future ones) it's not possible
I mean it's sort of a sandbox type of game anyway where they test stuff out, might happen.
Can you imagine the performance hit?
I'd prefer if the game would be stable instead
And didn't have glaring security issues
"Today, we're announcing the addition of support for Ray Tracing shaders. Also, unrelated to the previous change, we are changing the framerate counter to 'frames per minute'..."
I wonder if there's something in the drivers for Index that can force it to limited/legal depending on certain scenarios for compatibility. You'd think that'd be per-application if anything, though. Are there debug tools for Index? could probably check while in the Pug and see what's going on, maybe!
I mean you'll know eventually if it magically vanishes with a driver update too, haha
I doubt valve would hand out their debug tools
Shame you can't disable world shaders, then you could just turn that off and see if that fixes it.
lol... should have the same options on worlds as you do on avatars
Hmm, I could set up a test world with the same shaders if you'd like Enverex?
"hide animation, hide shader, hide particle, mute audio, hide world"
hide world
@still lark Do you know the exact ones it's using?
Yup
Why wouldn't Valve hand out debug tools? We gotta develop for Index 🤔
@still lark Could definitely try then.
I'll see what I can whip up
I'd like that to be a feature TBH... it would help when trying to find friends who you want to say hi to and they're in the middle of some maze map...
"The hell are they?"
*hides world
"Oh there they are..."
@sudden nacelle That kinda is a thing. Public, Labs, etc...
@woven steppe Use the transparent camera. Assuming you have VR. :P
Let me know if you guys figure it out! These things haunt me
that doesn't stop the maze from preventing you from getting to them
Let's take it to the next level. Hiding the entire game
It'd be like adblock but for certain assets in the game
"Hide Knuckles"
uninstall vrchat
*blocks Tda bases
@woven steppe That's like blocking 95% of avatars
with how easy it is to install and reinstall... it makes no difference
Being able to block specific avatars would be a nice feature.
sell your vr 👁
How about blocking people by age
When game takes longer to load in than the time it took you to download it...
Blocking all kiddos by default
can't be toxic to something you can't interact with

I can’t even go to two worlds without crashing or everything becoming super laggy 
I mean, my experience with kids has been terrible in this game
get more CPU cores... Oh wait... that doesn't help
I gotta admit, hating on literally everything you dislike in vrchat has gotten old to me
I just dont mind anything
They just run around yelling profanity at everyone
This kid was following me around with a loud voice and doing... Kid stuff. It was annoying
"So pure"? lol. Running around with open mics, screaming "ni**er" and "gaylord" at everyone.
I just wanted to find a good avatar and I had no luck
@faint skiff When you guys check, try testing what happens on the Index if you enable or disable 'sRGB (Color Texture)' in the import settings on the textures. This might explain the world-exclusivity of this bug
@woven steppe They now originate from the object itself.
Speaking really close to the mic, like, Mine Diamonds sound quality
I was lagging too much to even mute the person
@sudden nacelle I just meant people talking abiut "blocking all tda bases, block certain avatars, block kiddos"
My cursor wouldn’t even budge
We're obviously joking, my guy
@inner cape Having your entire screen (or even the whole room) filled up with a giant minecraft or Diva character for the 5th time that hour gets really tiring. Being able to just block that avatar would stop me having to keep wasting my time..
^
I'm not joking about the blocking of world assets tho. I legit want to be able to remove things that stand in the way of me and getting to where everyone is hanging out.
Yeah. I hate world music I can't turn off
I appreciate the thought but I don't always like your tastes
@sudden nacelle thank god it isn't
That's like the spam issue though. I can block the one person, but that's worthless when 6 other people then turn up and start doing the same thing with the same avatar (because they're 10 year old kids on desktop who think it's funny)
That's more of a workaround though
As I will have to re-enable it for other worlds again
Hard to do properly in VR imo. Audio levels are a problem
Browser?
Even then I will have to alt tab to ajust audio levels if a quiet person joins
send all audio to a compressor!?
Lies... You don't plug yourself enough to be one
That exists? Damn
inb4 ghosto suddenly gets a bunch of new follows...
wdym why would I get follows
Well yeah, I think that applies to most "streamers". They think they're hot shit, but they're not hot, they're just shit.
*starts talking about how streamers are shit right after ghosto is revealed as as treamer...
Gee... nice chat
I didn't say I am
Didn't he say he isn't?
I just meant that looking at hand for spotify makes you look like a stramer
O ok
Streamers 🤢
look at somewhere else other than hand then
Is OVRToolkit worth it? It looks pretty handy.
I've seen some where "chat" isn't on the hand but they just like look up and there's the chat floating in midair
could be slightly less annoying than breaking your wrist to look at something
Jawbonnnnes
I've found it's nice to have Twitch or something on in the background when browsing worlds and I guess it would be more convenient than bringing up the SteamVR desktop every so often.
🤔
alright, need foods, cya'all
Yea it's pretty nice, one of my favorite things is you can set opacity of the windows
Snap to either hand, head, or leave it in your playspace
Not that I know of 😔
Damn, that's a good idea tho, wonder if the dev has some kind of suggestion box
@faint skiff When you able to get on?
@still lark I won't be home from work for another... 4 and a half hours or so yet.
kk

-YAW-
peeps be like

be like: 

Ohohohohoooo I like your style FPaul
<-- this is nice. I like this.
Also I like the fact that greenies can now use all emojis in general
makes me feel special
17064120 Active Particles "why do i always keep getting red lol!!!! :)"
That amount of particles could be used in rocket engine propulsion simulations
well you are purploe, so shush
All the emojis :3
Or like 2 shite animations
I might ask my commissioner to add quintillion particles inside my avatars head and forcefield them in so nobody can see why the heck the game freaking out
thats basically filing a request to be banned
already way ahead of you Fuzzout
i love vr chat
I love women, but to each their own; I guess.
God damn where is my emoji book

How do you exit calibration mode? Just got FB
After pressing both triggers to confirm the pose, the avatar moves along with me, but I'm flying a bit above the ground myself, and I can't move around in game using the controller
Have you tried restarting the game?
I will try that,thanks
I had something like that before and it worked after I got frustrated and restarted. You can always test something without FBT by having the steam VR overlay open while you load into an avatar (will skit the FBT calibration)
dose anyone know were u can get GIANT anime avatars?
no vore
take normal avatar, make it giant 
idk how qwq
In unity you can scale it up. You need to upload it yourself. There are a few worlds with giant avatars, but I don't know any of them by name
darn it
best bet is to try to clone one off someone you see
you open your menu, point at the person and click
if they have cloning on you'll see the button available to press on the right
okay
requiring people to have cloning on 
Index squeeze grip should be analog, right? You should be able to progressively use the fist gesture like you would with for example Oculus Touch's grip button.
I'd imagine so. It is for me. Although there is a slight jump between "mostly closed" and "completely closed"
there was a change in steamvr recently
so everyones fist gesture does that
like a smooth 0% to 25% then bam its closed kinda thing
Yeah, there are several cannys
It's a SteamVR issue tho isnt it?
There's gotta be some kind of way to change the steamVR bindings.
or can a game set their own controller settings by default
well, not an issue, but just a setting
Yeah but since this is a new kind of button I have no idea what to set in SteamVR
yeah I don't have the controllers so I couldn't really check the settings
I know Vive has something like Click vs Press
I mean it's hardly broken, it's just a setting to change
Oculus Touch you could just set the grip trigger click to none for left and right grip
Index Controllers... I have no idea where to start.
@indigo fern It's the other way around for me. Smooth for 90% or so, then a snap on the last bit.
I've been able to fix it with my binding set, I just haven't entirely figured out why it's fixed.
Make a public binding galioom
I've never touched bindings and from what I can tell, it's correct by default isn't it? (the 90-100% snap has always happened on fist, I assumed it was deliberate)
The correct way is, open hand to complete touch causes no snap, then force grip completes it.
Just needs a bindings update.
Yeah, that's how mine currently works. I've literally never touched the bindings for the game at all. Do people just need to delete/clear theirs then?
Gallium 

I seem to recall what fixed it was changing the values of some sliders under one of the grip bindings
Not on my VR system right now so can't check
is that even a real gpu
yeah search it up

its from like 2006-2009
Yeah, but you're on desktop
yeah
also you're home alone 
nope
KEVIN
can anyone help me get an avatar of myself? ik it sounds strange but I have no idea on how to do it (inspired by Jameskii but don't judge)
you need a 3d scan of ur body
alright, how would I do that?
you need a 3d scanner
🤡
yea
you need a tripod for ur phone
@slender estuary there's a method of 3d reconstruction from photos called Photogrammetry, and Meshroom is a free piece of software that allows for that.
Maeio I have a tripod and Gallium would you be able to show me how to use it?
There's a user manual and videos on youtube
there is also a neuronal network powered 3d reconstruction program on the net that requires only one photo
but its limited to the face
Fuse is a good resource for humanoid clothed bodies
I'm pretty sure you can check SteamVR bindings without VR.
Adobe Fuse* that is
ok so I need to take pictures around my body or?
Pretty much.
I also don't own photoshop or a greenscreen
alright thanks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtdNBcfUMLA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l57i9AT1h2M
I'll check these as they look decent
Heyya
heads up thats going to be quite a lot of editing, not in terms of scanning and creating the model, but more in making it vrc ready
alright, you reckon that video will show me what to edit or not?
You can always find another one if not
alright
oh that video seems to be using makeHuman, so its not actually scanning the 3d model of yourself, just placing a texture of you, on a model made to look like you
that sounds alright to me
fair enough, cuts down all the mesh fixing that 3d scanning would have
mhm
Kinda like the old woman one which has become strangely popular again?
old woman one?
That one is entirely photograndmatry
oh , you mean the holy queen elizabeth alexandra mary windsor ?
the one on the chair?
clap
knew i could count on you thx bros
No, it's the old woman from the stock photos
I thought it was this woman, but now I'm not sure https://image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/old-woman-pistol-on-white-260nw-182174168.jpg
Does anyone know how to upload personal avatars? I've been trying for a few weeks now and I'm just getting this error file not found message for unity
Im upset
Hi Upset, I'm dad.
When you seen validation instead of solution to your problem 
Hi dad im dad
Hi Dad I'm Dad, I'm dad.

"Dear Rimmer, I am writing to inform you that your father is dad."

I heard ships? 👁
earape 👏 not 👏 allowed 👏
hey um, my vrchat closed it self, is that sapost to happen?
anyone wanna play?
what does that mean, mizuki?
nvm
nah its vrc, vrc be like that, ayu
tru
Does anyone also have the microwave avatar
i dont
ok
i do have a microwave, but no avatar
no new ships have been made today, as far as I know, mizuki
we have 2 microwaves in the kitchen for whatever reason 
как делишки?
Please speak english in this discord, or use the corresponding language channel
Like this -> #russian
look Dan is online :O
you can upload your pictures on other server and link the links in #general-media
or post it in #vrchat-pictures
anyone know how to make audio loud now? like not loud but loud enough to not be zoned out by would sounds and be on roughly equal sound levels with other audio types
like my avatars are quiet af
setting them to 1 obviously makes vrchat lower them to absolute hell so
rn its at 0.4-0.5 gonna try lower and see if that fixes it
Hi all
Hi
Hi is there any Staff available that can help me out and talk with me about me not being able to upload my character.
It is basically about me not being able to upload a character. I want to upload one, but it says that I need to spend more time enjoying the app. Recently I combined my account with vrchat, before I didn't do that.. I played VRchat for quite some while, but I cant upload a character yet, is there any way that someone can help me so I can upload the character.. ? :C
You have to play the game until you account reaches the new user status. Try world hoping with friends
Well my friends are not online, and I don't have that many
We’re you previously of that rank?
What do you mean with that sentence?
I have absolute no clue, I deleted this discord because I went and stopped playing for a while, but I am back
Something like Known user? Is that what you mean
I think Known user
Nope
Combined my acc with vrchat because a friend explained all of it
yeah i am using vr chat account
but was on steam before :C
If you nothing and wait you won’t rank up. I recommend playing the game. World hopping, making new friends, etc.
Ah ah okay.. ;C Do you want to become my friend?
I added you ! 😄
Oofh I can't find you, you can add me, Audros
Nice! 😄
Assuming you are not online, both :C
Nah I accepted the friend request through the website
I don’t get on until late usually
Hai :3
I see a lot of names here, and I do not know anyone... and I spend a fair bit of time in here
who dat?
One of the best optimization minds on the planet.
source?
John Carmack is one of the devs at oculus. Also one of the original Develpers for id software, making games like Doom and quake
ohhhh i see
@meager solstice i finaly see the future proof publish button do i untick it then upload?
Yes
have the developers seen that yet?
Its likely
@fresh iris yes
okie thanks
Most people crash for whatever reason when uploading because of that
I don’t want to ping the admins but I hope they would consider a Carmack powwow, dudes great
John Carmack an Oculus dev?
i can almost guarantee they've seen it
Yes, John jumped on board as an oculus dev right after or even during the original kick starter
Inside tracking was his work
And he’s pretty much the exclusive reason that I like oculus despite Facebook acquisition
Stuff must've been pretty good with him around.
psst hey mods, u should like tell the devs, even if they know, just in case
Guys, I have a problem. I tried to upload and use my new custom avatars, but the game crush. Can anyone tell me how change avatar without opening the game? I can't open the game
wtf i didnt even see u type, was dat a copy and paste : o
IT WAS
Wait but i thought network IK was implemented to make game less laggy
not to make it compatible for quest users
j-john carmack....holy shit
it was always in the bg apparently but im guessing it was rolled out ahead of time cuz of quest, so technically both?
Yo when will vrchat get out of the early access stage?
no one knows
i dont think most games know when they're coming out EA til soon before it happens
Does anybody know about the URI Malformed issue? I cant log into my account in game but the website is fine
We tried reinstalling and everything
I haven't seen a fix to it yet
Someone else had the issue earlier
You might email them tho, email support is surprisingly good usually
Hello
How long is it gonna take though?
:3
A few hours to a day or two usually
Oh please let them accept help from john carmack. Please please please. I am so sick of this broken networked ik.... His help is needed so bad
Why would my URI mess up anyway
I litterally just moved
Its fustrating as fuck man
When are you guys going to address the ddos'ing and ip stealing issue in your game. I couldn't play your game anymore without a vpn. Even then people found ways around it. After 3000 hours of commitment i had to uninstall the game. I had to change my ip 3 times. That cost a lot of money where i live. I love your game, but it has become unplayable unless you just sit in a private lobby.
@covert chasm @vocal shard
For you*
the issue is that its not just a VRChat problem
Oh fuck he just pinged the big bois
you can grab anyones IP via steam api
@midnight fossil happens in other games dumb fuk
You willingly connect to the internet and play MP games, thats the nature of online games
Go ping gaben
which imo is heavily abused
The best solution is to just avoid bad people
The hundreds upon thousands of people who play this game and dont have this problem are the majority
Hiii
Wait the dude had to change ip 3 times lmao
i get hit offline from time to time just for using a meme avatar to entertain others who want to see it
Dont go to the box.
Like, be their friend lmao
but if you are constantly, then you probably pissed someone off badly
@vestal pier yo I’ve been to the box so many times and hackers love talking to me lmao
I have too
@void sundial hello there, how is ur day?
But its generally a bad idea if you dont know how to handle them and their stuff
Ye
The ones saying "get better friends" or "be friends with the hackers" that isn't the issue. I've seen entire lobbies hit off at random.
@hollow breach good
if you know who it is, you can always report the user
That happens from time to time @midnight fossil
usually i keep obs recording for a reason
But if you are being attacked personally then you have pissed someone off
^
^
I get cheaters on my own maps, most of the time you just have to ask them nicely to calm down and stop and more often than not the human in them comes through
@vestal pier don’t piss me off or I’ll cuck u
you can try
: o
i know your only weakness
A
Huh?!?!?
0⃣
Now I fell Less Lonely 😃
Dats good
plus pinging the community managers wont solve the issue as they are also aware themselves as they get hit offline as well
It Is
Anyone who knows me knows that i am a genuinely nice person. I don't have enemies in this game. I don't shit talk. It just happens at random. But more often then im willing to deal with.
Prob cause ur fugly
Sorry that was toxic plz accept my apology
I’m nice wholesome boi
Lol
@midnight fossil Im not claiming to know you but unless you are some rare anomaly and exception to how this game works 99% of the time, you have done something wrong
i am a chill guy in game as well and still get hit from time to time
^^^^
I’m the most toxic gamer alive and I don’t get hit
It happens to the best of us 😄
if its someone hitting everyone, then yeah, dont pay them attention
They send me friend requests :3
If its that bad, take a break from the game for awhile so whoever you have annoyed forgets about you. If you really want to play make an alt.
probably a 5 year old thinking its funny to issue DoS/DDoS attacks against users
@hollow breach eek That's Noice
@hollow breach dont hit me 
@void sundial 😎
@true sky watch me, ima go on my VR, find u, and slap u
I’ve already done it to blue
Just u watch 😎

Wait what really?
guess i need to talk to the CEO of DDoS then -_-
Sometimes
I don't Play Vr,But I watch Lots Of Youtubers that Play it
join us.
Guys i got these to errors
-
Sibling object share the same path, witch may break network events: VRCChair 2/Cube
-
same error without the 2
What do i do i only wanted 2 seats players can sit in
§15. No posting the same question or statement across multiple channels.
bro wtf
I ran into a gang and my friend was there and luckily warned me but apparently they could've melted my PC or doxed me? is that true!?
like what the actual fuck
no, they can not melt your PC. 
Also no 
ok I was like how does that even work
but I didn't take chances when I heard that I dipped
@ruby needle still though don't wanna get doxed and have my IP posted or some shit
if you fear about leaking your ip (which by it self is nothing you want to write on a sign but also not the end of the world) close steam while playing
@ruby needle close steam? or exit steam?
closing or exiting is the same 
well closing it like running it in the BG vs exiting it which ends all steam processes completely
Closing the window just minimizes it to tray 
^^
as you just said "run it in the bg" so thats not closing, thats minimizing/hiding 
No, closing a window is closing
well saying closing steam was vague which is why I asked
yes but we're talking about closing the program 
anyway, answere should be clear by now 
ye
Minimizing to tray wont make sense. 
That's why he asked 😂
yo i need help
just for future clarification to anyone who reads this bit of chat, nobody on VRChat can fry your PC components. in fact, PC components themselves are really difficult to destroy intentionally through software. if you find that your PC wont boot after the next wolfboy went particle-ham on you, it's likely that it was already on its last legs and it was only a matter of time before it keeled over. if someone else tells you that their components were fried, they're probably misunderstanding what's going on or lying.
The game? the game is free
¿
Verify email?
Did you make an account?
did you make an account?
yes but it keeps saying failed
did you use any special charaters?
wait
i suddenly cant log in anymore, it says "Could not log in - URI malformed"
do u go to regristation?
Oooh, another URI MAlformed
registration
that's the third today
what the heck is this error
Random aside don't paste emoji into your vrchat status, the game crashes
Not sure, no one has mentioned it before today minus one vague post that was never answered. you might need to hit up the support email for this one
im so sad i think my accounts corrupted
i made a new account and it works just fine, but even after reinstalling on a different computer my main account is malformed
guess you wont know til you email them
i emailed them about 5 minutes ago itll prolly take a while
Why do i not see VR chat anymore❓
Have you put your headset on?
or turned on your monitor 
@vocal shard @rigid crescent @plucky nebula
I just had the URI Malformed error, and resolved it by changing my password to one without symbols.
They must have changed the client and some symbols now don't work, but some still do for example "!" still works fine
OHHH
@misty cedar THANK YOU SO MUCH
So creator of doom wants to help vrchat servers?
Better to look at him as one of the lead Develpers in Oculus who is really good at optimization. Back in his early days at id software, he was able to optimize games and make them work on computer systems that seemed impossible to run on.
Now that he's working on Oculus, he knows how much of an influence VRChat has on the VR market, so if he can offer to help optimize vrchat in new ways and push a bit more out of the quest (likely his main intent), it can help both sides
you only get a response from devs if you're drekwiz sorry lol
honestly, i dont even care if he cant / wont do muhc for netik atm, he could probably touch literally any other part of the game and net us +10 fps per thing
0~0
Error: Success!
the nightmare, right before i open up 2.80 and try to learn it
oof
until someone gives me a good reason to take the time to learn 2.8, I'm staying right here
Rendering is not an interest of mine
Yea, for vrc updating to 2.8 isn't necessary
if it does workflow things better i'm all over it
@desert stratus The thing to be careful of is how much Oculus like locking things/people to their platform. I have very little trust in them that they wouldn't try and do something that would only benefit their business somehow (short-term or or long-term)
eh, im fully aware that oculus in the clutches of grand master zucky wucky
but this is john carmack we're talking about, the guy is actually really passionate about this shit from what i've heard and seen
Online multiplayer VR is what people seem to be screaming for. That doesn't work with exclusivity. The most popular online games won't be exclusive
Carmack is the grandfather of 3d gaming. His interest is in advancing the gaming experience. I think he genuinely would help
wow
I will admit I'm a big Carmack fanboy. It's why I'm still all over Oculus even after the Facebook buyout
Now if Carmack walks, I'm out
yeah, oculus already sends in devs to help with any other game on their store IIRC. john carmack taking a special interest in vrchat is huge, i just hope the team lets him in long enough for good shit to happen
There's no way he could/would be acting on his own, he'd be under contractual obligations on how he's allowed to interact with other companies. No-one can be in the position he's in without the company exerting some control over them.
if carmack walks he better walk right back towards valve or htc or to another VR company, he's cool
@languid beacon Doesn't need to be exclusive (as you said, it wouldn't work anyway) but they can try and steer people their direction. A performance boost on one platform here, a benefit from using a specific headset there, etc.
Anyway, let's hope I'm wrong as usual. Night all.
Does the description field when uploading an avatar have a purpose? I've never seen that text used anywhere.
other than existing in the API, no
guessing it was suppose to have a purpose when it was added
it was the same as world description, then they used it in the world info
It's used on the website
Yeah, it will hopefully be used whenever the ui overhaul that they keep promising actually releases
hi
Who got a clan
a what
everyone is going on about network ik i am new to vr and have a rift s what is network ik
To be clear, "IK" is "inverse kinematics", and is how your avatar's pose is calculated based on how your headset, controllers, and trackers are positioned and oriented. Those calculations are expensive! Now, you only do them for yourself and send the results to other users, instead of everyone doing everyone's calculations.
and this matter how? how is it a big deal to people what does it change
oh okay i watch this video and i can see that it does not looks as good
@sudden nacelle Not exactly the way to greet people.

ah yess a fellow 🅱 good morning to you too
nobody said it was
The only thing is if you're planning to use it for existing projects, it's best to finish it off in 2.79. Use 2.8 for NEW projects.
I learned that the hard way. 8D
ah and if you port a 2.79 project to 2.8 disable layout import or lese you'll suffer
Anyone else think how with some changes vrc could be a classic rpgmmo. There’s a lot of things present (albeit VERY basic). The only things that need to be added to make it more plausible are the ability to save data across worlds. So you could gain experience, or whatever in one world and take it to the next. And the ability to store items Like, if you gained a flashlight in one, you could have it in another through menu.
I’m kind of neutral on the idea and have no development experience but yeah. Just a shower thought I had
It's a little tough to do so since an instance is temporary, once you leave said instance everything you did drops back to nil.
What WOULD work is if you were to create a whole new platform with custom API and server side scripts to be built for such a scenario.
That’s not much unlike mmos. They’d just have to take questing differently, having the progress saved to you and apply to what you can do. If you finish quest X you can talk to NPC y. This would make it so no visible changes had to happen. Although I have no idea how’d they go about it lol. There’s too many changes to count so it’s an impossible idea
But it’s still fun to think about
unfortunately vr games are still very early to become vr mmo's
But VRChat is only about keeping your profile with basic saved info; worlds, friends, avatars etc.

@vocal shard However there are already a few rpg games available in vrchat game modes. Like Dark Waters for example.
But you do have an idea there and that still counts.
That’s all true. It still is fun to think about though. Especially since vrchat IS a VR Mmo. It’s the only thing we really have
Besides that other crappy mmo
nah just store everything in a big file server side, ez
We first need to deal with security, right now it's just open season lol
Lmao, that’s why it’s an extremely unlikely scenario
still. I think vrchat comes close to having a lot of rpgmmo aspects even if they work entirely different. Being able to keep an appearance and save it across worlds, different locations being instanced based.
I like to think of VRChat as an (early) extension of web more than a game that we just mistake for a game bcs of how tied VR is with gaming
It’s just unfortunately more like roblox than something like WoW
Even if you say that, I enjoy vrchat more as a game than anything
I’ve always been a social gamer. That’s why I look forward to vr mmos
There are MMO like worlds in vrchat, but you would have to do it in one sitting with no drops from the instance. Can take 5 to 7 hours to complete (Yeah that's one long ass session).
Still, that’s why being able to take progress across worlds would change the game so much
If vrchat was less stitched together, and more like a set of worlds
It would be pretty much what I expected vr mmos to be
there are some tricks to save progress on a map, all tough not very elegant
The direction vrchat took is just different. Instead of going the route of creating worlds that go together, they let the community create worlds that they themselves can enjoy
I’m happy w that, I just wish I could see the other route as well
That's what I mean! if you think of the dynamic of the social client and the way creator content gets made / delivered / experienced. It does kind of look like a cousin to social media in the early days of web 2.0
Maybe Udon will let you do things re: progress saving
I mean you could get around the issue by having save codes that you punch in for spawn a teleporter that leads you to certain part of the world but then everyone would just share those codes, which makes the solution ineffective.
I just hope vr gaming gets going. There’s a phenomenal amount of potential, but the most fun I’ve had so far was killing myself in pavlov
Exactly, it's very easy to exploit
I thought of exactly that, there’s no way to make anything fool proof if you can’t connect the worlds beyond a portal
But if you only want to have fun with a group of friends than its still viable
Unless they are that guy, im looking at you George, I'm looking at you.
Yeah it would work in a planned party but in public instances it would be a mess of kids skipping 80% of the content because of sharing.
Eugh. Yeah. But again, what’s the fun in an mmo that isn’t an mmo
Ask Anthem XD
Oh god don’t make me relive that
What a disaster. I played it through my game sharing. I felt so bad that he wasted his money on it
Glad I missed that bullet.
It’s probably the most disappointed I’ve ever felt
I knew it was a bunch of horse malarkey just from the trailer.
Like it didn’t just kill my expectations, I couldn’t really even be mad or anything
I was just like “ah. Should’ve expected that”
Closed the game, and never played again
As much as I'd like to start a fire convo about that game, I would do so in #general-media since this one is VRC specific.
I could write a book about that game alone.
I’m about to hop on vrc anyways and reliving that nightmare isn’t the best use of my time
It’s too bad to remember
Good morning everyone
@unkempt swan I can at least say that I have a vive and had trackers, and was met with no issues running the Ryzen 2600
@vocal shard im using this set
I'm running a GTX 1070, R5 2600x, 32GB RAM; Rift S and im getting trackers for FBT soon.
Have no complaints about my experience.
I already got sick and tired of people downplaying rift s, I already assume anyone who never tried the headset and are just yapping about how bad it is have no say in the matter unless you have the bloody headset itself.
The screen on the S is what sells it to me.
Even with the LCD being as friggin sharp as it is; I still see pixels... that tells me the vive and CV1 would make my brian commit seppuku
It's like when people asked me what I drove and I said KIA, they immediately had a face of disgust. I stood there confused asking what the problem with KIA was and all they said was "It's a cheap brand" I asked in what way it was cheap? Have you been in one? Have you driven one? No? Then how in the name of all that is holy do you even know? Read about about it? That's THEIR opinion, not your own.
Y'see, my approach towards it is different. I do not argue over opinions or misinformation.
"That's one perspective, yes" is my go-to answer
SUCKY
Finally, my Transtar Apartment world has been updated with a facelift. And it's up too! \o.o/
You know what would be great?
Option to get a notification sound when you get a notification.
useful when you got hud off
You know what would be great?
Option to disable avatar-loaded (startup) animations
those are just normal animations that are on by default so they play upon loading in
better, option to mute people without them knowing
anybody looking for a commission? not sure if im posting in the right place
just trying to pay the rent >.<
i do, but unfortunately i don't have the money and its a very very hard one
oh understandable no worries fooni ❤
hope you can find one~
i can do some hard stuff 😉
@slate verge If you block them, you'll disappear and they're not likely to notice though, right?
@faint skiff i think they can still crash you via the instance, so thats kinda like a nuking thing for everyone
good morning weirdos
also i recommend hiding all options for grey users besides their mic
hmm, newly made account, just joined vrc discord and first thing he asks is for a commission,
suspiciousss.... 
@green atlas i'd like to know how good are your skills so i can refer to you in the future
i didnt know they had a official discord 😅
dm would be nice
fair enough, security check passed.
have a nice day
scratch models, yes?
so im like jeez i need to make one already
Ghosto is getting a commisionisionmission... it's a... person. With metel bits.
i can do some stuff from scratch like bodys/faces
Does anyone here know someone with the in-game name Nyori? I think she may have accidentally blocked me and want to tell her that.
i gotta get better at texturing still
gesundheit, Fuzz.

😄 Thanks Dem
creper
How's everyone today?
i'm about to go to sleep
creeper
we are checking out a new user Fuzzout
good~ preppin to sleep, lol. you?
@icy vine I don’t know her but I can add her and tell her
Sounds like Scorpionhart is living on a japanese timezone
hm.
Is she on right now?
@hollow breach Thank you, I appreciate that.
i work overnights homeboy
So you technically DO live on a japanese timezone. I did nights for 7 years; can relate.
No, sorry. She's not. She was 30 mins ago.
i guess so?
$13 an hour though, cant complain

👀
@icy vine ima DM you, is that okay?
plus easy job
@hollow breach Go for it.

nah on second thought ill keep n8, his models have a tinge of gayness in them which i like
not really
Frick
on a second thought why do we need 2 of these:

bRo
anyways i'm off to sleep for a bit. Behave yourselves
Why you gotta attack me like that lmao
one is new, and one is nostalgia

Oh, ok thanks then I guess
unless..
😳
actually, while we're here, do you have any shots of the character from the side?
no idea what design is on the boots
epic
motherfucker

Mista fuzz?
Mista?! 🔫

👁
What I do? D:
wat
Want to watch me play a game? o.o/
I'm at work XD
it's like me trying to find someone to discord call while cycling - mudada
But that's dangerous >_>;
why?


That's like phoning and driving! D:

I have earphones, so no its not
No hands on the bike, phone in one hand, burger in the other - is the way to go about biking
that's a free ticket to meet truck-kun
This is why you don't bike on the road you peanut
or get a hands-free mount to put on the handlebar.
one hand on the bike, one on the burger.
I dont bike on the road
and phone in the mount :3

Are you on a track then?
Burger in the mount, phone in the hand, mount on the ankle, feet on the handlebar
👀
ok stop
Collaborate and listen
Isekai time
helll yeah
Europe gang respond with 🇪🇺
No. 
Oooh I like where this is going
I'd draw a little sketch to demonstrate
Hi Simon
I waht join who
You gotta buy me a fancy dinner first before I play simon says with you
Yah, Netbeans, or Eclipse, or VS..?
That's a lot of RAM usage
That might be hard on my system
This reminds me of when I first started doing java.... using notepad
We all start out in notepad xD
Needless to say, I'm surprised that I don't need glasses
Post it notes best IDE
XD
I've done that too! Purple ones were usually ones reliant on timings; green ones were functions
I prefer to write my code on punch cards
I prefer to write my code by zapping individual lanes on the motherboards bus system
Wow now THAT'S extreme programming
I have a non-programming job and wanted to code at work so I didn’t forget when I’m home so I just wrote it out on paper
That's normal, I thought - usually wouldn't write in full syntax though; mostly considering best approaches for solving a problem
1 hour left of work and I'm freeeeee....
Somewhere out there there is a Conway’s game of life coded for the native runtime of gas station touchscreens because I was bored
1 hour left and I start work 
That reminds me... I installed chess on one of the bar terminals in my previous job... -... I did not delete it before leaving my job
@vocal shard you'll be fine

Hi guys
Hi
are you all right
Munchs on delicious bacon burger Hello
hello
hi
the John Carmack is on Twitter saying he'll help vrc make network IK better
Is anyone from vrc jumping at the chance to talk to John Carmack about their game or nah?
The guy's a programming genius; I gotta give him that.
I don't usually ping mods but when I do I don't care. @covert chasm
Yeet
Oh snap 
I mean even if they don’t think they need Carmack’s help it’s a chance to talk to Carmack
This is important ping
It's a great opportunity
I love the positive vibes I'm getting from this chat :3
I'm sure they know already, as it's been posted on the VRChat reddit and many have talked about it. But the VRChat team likes to keep things quiet until more progress is made. So they may already be in contact and discussing. Even if they haven't announced anything to us
IDC who are you, if you're in industry and John Carmack is like "maybe I can help" you set something up
