Soooo yeah. For me, I just have to decide whether I liked them enough to be willing to meet them again
If they're chill and not super loud or full of themselves the that's good enough for me
If I don't care about meeting them again then I don't have a reason to add them, and that's why I don't add some random visitor trying to boost their rank by adding me even though I have legit not even seen them
I dunno if either of u are girls but u gotta be careful of creepers as well if u just accept anyone. I had a guy who would join on me for weeks never saying a word, just standing there staring. Then after a few weeks he'd leave his mic on, and he was just heavily panting.
And the reason I specifically mention visitors is because so far, those instant random friend requests came from visitors only. Players of higher ranks don't bother
That was the red flag for me to stop accepting all friend requests
Nah not a girl but I see that a lot with my female friends, people just joining and staring at them or just standing in mirrors in worlds they're in
What the? Well, I'm male so I think it is less likely to run into someone being that creepy
Not that some random girl wouldn't do that either but... for some reason it's far more common with guys
I had a female stalker once but she ended up just being super shy and finally came out of her shell
@pure hemlock That is...outright creepy, the story about the guy tailing you I mean.
I get added for my voice quite a bit for some odd reason
What does your voice sound like?
I'm british and I get told it's really soft and calming to listen to
I've had a few random guys outright tell me in publics I have a sexy voice and they want to jerk off to it which promptly got them blocked but maybe that explains the creeper
Huh
I dont hear it myself tbh
Most people who say something like that yin could be trolling but yeah it is still creepy
Most likely since I don't hear it at all
I had a few female vrchatters stay close to me if a freak starts bothering them, some wait for me to come on so they could have a peace of mind while playing.
But I guess most people hate their own voice
< Me
Which is actually kinda sad, seeing what kind of people are in the game.
I dont hate my voice but I dont hear the calming or softness people have mentioned at all
So you're like their bodyguard?
Not a bodyguard but they turn and walk away when they see my avatar.
VR Chat sure is full of odd situations
I honestly stay mute in public unless I am with a male friend lately I just noticed
I'm mostly in private or friends only worlds now though.
Yeah my girlfriend started doing that unless she feels comfortable around the dudes shes with like if they're part of our friendship group
So that means I'll never see you in person. Okay
Oh you will, you just need to tell me when you're on.
Me going to public worlds? HA!
Brb
I have barely any active friends so I could either go public or be in a world by myself
Yah I know those feels
I've been one of those friends before, I stopped playing for like 7 months
Outside of my boyfriends friend group I don't really have too many of my own friends playing anymore
So if I get on when they're not on I just sit in a public muted
My girlfriends the same
I had friends once, I swear! ๐ฆ
vrc daily crashed?
yea
So for me, being in anything other than public is not an option. Then again if literally everyone abandoned public worlds newcomers wouldn't have anyone to interact with at all.
I had the best group of friends I ever had then like 80% stopped playing
did everyone else also just die?
yeah
yes
VRChat servers got Nuked, Nuked
yes
The bot just dropped from like 6k people playing to 87 lol
god dammit shhh
What the
XD
๐
VRChat not working bruh
๐ฅ
Ouch luckily I'm not home yet
.-.
I want my daily erp
Good thing I'm lazy because I intended to already be online
jk
Why Vrchat not working
oh its back lmao
Im back in
Good thing I am at work bored out of my mind
its back lol
I just finished work, omw home now
!online
There are 1888 users in VRChat currently
holy that's low
bruh, it's stuck on black screen when it's finishes the world load
also trips, check them
weird, innit
!online
There are 3395 users in VRChat currently
servers filling up again
itโs the monthly invite only vrchat battle royale
@broken plover yep
someone took the batteries out

ah, public lobby is going ape shit, that means its not the bot but the servers
Rip
Someone is trying to cook bacon on the servers cpus again
they took the cooler off and smashed their bacon on
nah, just heating up the pizzas
and the servers cpu overheated
Pretty much
still a black screen for me when it trys to launch
Using bacon as thermal paste
and the worst thing, the bacon burnt
Chats lovely once the server deded
!online
There are 2708 users in VRChat currently
It's going backwards wat?
LOL
expectations: F
reality: -spam intensifies-
reality can often be disappointing
Welcome to the VRC Discord whiny brainlets
Vrchat wont load for me, oof
Oi, I'm ofended
you know who you are 
I got timed out then couldn't reload
No
When game restarts completely, still cant reload
I want to have at least one channel where we can have a conversation
you cant have that when there's server issues
can anyone get back in?
Give it a while
Don't tell me what I can't :<
Server issues and normal conversation at the same time, what is this reality you speak of
i have black screen after log in
I think they're cooking eggs and bacon on the servers
and i'm in
@covert blade nobody's in #general-media I think thats a nice place to chat without "dead server spam"
You guys are making me hungry with all this food talk
hope they share that bacon and eggs
it was only a matter of time until they assimilate general just like public chat
Everyone have it, just go twitch vrchat streams everyone is off, it's not your problem @median pecan
!online
There are 3226 users in VRChat currently

There are 3163 users in VRChat currently
did the game crashed ?
yes
for everyone else too ?
servers crashed
ow okay
when will they be back up?
Once they say it will be
They're looking into it
oof
As soon as possible. They are working hard on it right now.
MASS PANIC
The cpu coolers fell off the servers, please be patient while they are ductaping it back on
Thank you for your cooperation
Theyre not working on putting the coolers back on, the microwave broke and they needed to heat up some leftover pizza
@cold talon xD
!online
There are 2766 users in VRChat currently
rippo
so whats going on got into my home world realize its set to public

Ye servers are having some trouwbel uwu you might be sent back to a public world if it fails to load
lol 2766 users in game and my friend list at FRIENDS 1061
You do know that the "10" is "10 listed friends on the website" and not "10 friends online"
i know i fast copy paste
Also 1k friends
so anyone having issues connecting to servers too?
Yea
A bit, but works mostly
FRIENDS 1061/1061 i must be bored to do this
Indeed
!online
There are 3797 users in VRChat currently
Big oof time
What happened, log in issues?
Server dropped a bunch of players
F
Im getting a bit annoyed. There is now a update again and I now have login issues. I can't find any update anywhere. Im just going to sleep or something.
i log in fine
The server are having trouble right now. So that's probably why you can't log in. It's not the VRChat client
my problem is crashing occasionally
Okay.
servers are super spotty right now
๐ด
There was no announcement today. Do you mean the one from Yesterday? Itโs not a required update.
yeah
Oh no! I was going to jump in tonight
Is this just a simple server issue that can be fixed?
If it's a server issue, it might not be completely in their control. We'll just have to wait and see

Oof, glad I looked in here before I hopped on.
oh my

Do I need three trackers for full body, or can I just use to for my feet. How about just one for my waist
you can use one for waist or three for waist and legs
You need at least the hip tracker. It becomes your root bone when you use full body
get all 3 or just save your money for all 3, no point in just getting the waist
the only time you want to only use waist is if only 1 arrived and the other 2 trackers have longer shipping
Just curious if I can just get the feet for now. But are you saying the waist is 100%needed first?
yes, waist is 100% needed first
Yes, the waist is required. If you just get the feet, it will automatically assign one as the waist
Security update. Can't get crashed if you can't log in.
lol
200IQ patch
This wasn't from the patch. This is more likely the servers, which is not hosted by vrchat
If you just have the waist, at least you wouldn't look like a stiff robot, would you?
are there any sites where you can find avatars or easily riggable models for VRC? I'm looking for something specific but don't know where to look
You can move your hip, but it's not as noticable as real full body. You can do things like bend your upper body and your waist stays in place
why is this "word" banned
Because that site hosts tos breaking content, and stolen unity assets
oh, ok
So vrchat wants to make sure it's clear they are not associated with it
the ol' "we are not liable" trick eh?
okay rip my question then
well if you are expierienced with blender you look for the parts on deviant art and put them together and then import them into unity
You can look in niconico, deviantart, or booth if you are willing to pay
I'm getting a lot of Perf Blocked users. I'm talking at least half the people I see have it. I know im on an i5 3570k and a GTX970 but it used to work fine
Or bowroll
the only thing I can somewhat do on Blender is sculpting kek
good thing that tutorials exist
Look up a rigging tutorial, it's super easy
Only 1000 friends @stark scarab ? Try 1500.
i have 129... :/
what a waste lol
sounds like 1300 strangers you'll never talk to or see that you still have to scroll through 
oh well rip can't find what i wanted on any of those sites.
Eh... I find having a large friends list helpful for when someone I actually know is in someone else's friends only instance, or when I use the API to find instances that look interesting/active during quiet hours
To each their own though
I do make heavy use of friend favorites of course
I rarely have to scroll to see all my online friends... I dont have that many active friends
I just add anyone, but keep my friends I know in my groups tabs
At busy times I might see 100-150 online or so, of which a few dozen are active in groups
Having more/larger groups would be nice though
i might start slashing people off, but for the most part i just make do by adding / removing people from favorites lists
its fun to join people like "hey, why the fuck are you on my friends list?"
and if im having bad luck in public worlds i can usually bet on people ive added before to be friendly
Yeah, I don't mind it if someone I met once months before joins me in F+ so I'm happy to leave them on my friends list
unless of course i try to play in between noon and sundown, which is pretty much erp hours or something, idk everyone is in private worlds at that time
ikrr, thats the best part, whe someonee else joins on you and its been months
@covert blade server problems, give it some time
fixed it
Is it confirmed to be Server Issues? I literally almost threw my headset out my window X.X
yes
it is, something about photon being dumby wumby i think
RIP
info soon(tm) 
When is soon :^)
"info soon" - i wonder if its going to be a post mortem or just a "there was an issue, it has been fixed"

20 days later
"hey guys, tupper here. the team has bought photon and fixed the problem themselves. however, now that we own photon, udon will be delayed to about...ehh...2021. thanks for watching the dev stream!"
/s, betting that everything will be fine before tomorrow
about right now
there it is
the fuck?
#A
Meh, I just finished uploading avatars and wanted to test them out so idrc
time for people to complain about how they have 10 million but aren't fixing anything
can't see the announcement
cool beans.
Worst time to post that
ehh htc gave them $10m
restart discord
@slate verge announcement about there funding series https://medium.com/vrchat/vrchat-partners-with-htc-and-makers-fund-to-close-10m-series-c-50ea04d5ca23
thats the announcement >u>
RIP Tupper

Also its not 'just htc giving them money'
Inb4 dev team gets flamed ad nauseum for any flaws because of this
What do you mean? it already happened last year
ik, just grossly putting it
Anyone have any problems with the audio in the VR headset today i can hear people in front me and on the backside as well like WTF? anyone did experienced that today?
with the HTCbux
is that a good thing? partnering up with htc?
it wasn't very public last time though iirc
htc should bring back vivetix so i can buy vrchat premium
i don't see any down sides to it
Just add loot boxes, it worked out for EA
lol
emoji lootboxes pls
But dope to see they got makersfund
If i recall right they also helped Tinybuilds
it was pretty public, there was an article about it
Each loot box comes with an emote or avatar. Both of which u can also pay $9.99 for on the brand new VRStore
HTC straggle with there business recent years so hope they got way to resolve
That UDON sneak peek in the blog post though ๐ Can't wait!
agreed
UDON
hey their team is hiring!
Tbh, if the udon is fairly light weight its not odd they could flex this funding series as its tech thats dope even outside of VR
that's not new
Yo, Iโm lowkey dumb af, whatโs UDON?
read the article
Seems legit
that's the first time we've shown off the latest Udon node graph UI, I believe ๐ค
gravity :0
Jup
it looks smooth as hell
epic gamer moment
You linked some glitched version when it was first announced right?
Yeah, wasn't expecting to see a gif of udon in action. That was a nice surprise
Udon's been through a few internal iterations, this is the latest and greatest
Any kind of social experience you could want should exist, and if it doesnโt, somebody should be able to create it. [...]
- Graham Gaylor, CEO```
Any kind of social experience you say? ๐ค ๐
D:
like shaking hands.
Sending people pictures of Pee-wee Herman can really annoy them easily.
the people working on Udon have been doing essentially non-stop work on making it super powerful, super-performant, and secure. I'm really excited for when we finally get it in people's hands 
even going out for a snack?
showing off even this little tidbit is exciting
any kind of social experience
so any eta ๐ ?
๐
Still in beta btw
Gg on the funding
Yeet
Funding more like done-thing.
Isnt it stillin beta to avoid copyright stuff? Thats what i heard
@tidal aspen See our previous blog posts and dev streams-- tl;dr is Q4 2019 for open beta and release
Udon is almost like the VRChat singularity. The game will be forever changed and I can't wait to see what people make with it
its currently in internal testing and will go into closed beta 
Whats udon
Interesting
wait wat is this udon talk? someone plz explain to me :3
@ivory axle
VRChat โUdonโ is an in-development programming language designed specifically for VRChat. It utilizes a โnode graphโ graphical interface to permit both new and experienced users to create complex, interactive content for their VRChat worlds.
please read the blog ๐
I cant read
i personally can't wait for udon because one of the things i love to do in VRChat is go around worlds with trains (esepcially the worlds that are connected by virtual railway lines) and seeing how udon can boost the possibilities for those worlds
text to speech exists for a reason
Ill read the blog just a tad bisy atm ty tupper
So when the game is in full release will it cost money?
im also deaf
wow
December is the hype time for vrchat by tradition, so naturally that's when udon is getting cooked
wait
jk btw :^)
I prefer ramen tbh
was the vrchat udon gif the "secret one"
aye
found it
Ow dope you guys also got a press kit now
took you awhile ๐ฆ
Officially a proper company now
does udon mean we're going to be able to make actual games in vrchat
Now get to work on those bugs lol
mhm
more or less
Is VRChat gonna have Stocks? And if so where do I need to sign? :^)
no more trigger shit or whatever world devs do
you can make a "game" right now without udon but it can be pretty painful
VRCoin cryptocurrency incoming? ๐
vrcstonks lol
@desert stratus hi solar are you busy? can i dm you?
now you can finally program shit into your world like a normal dev, and do more than youd previously be able to do
not busy, whats up?
I want cute pics too.
uh...were you the one who suggested something about OVR toolkit awhile back?
that mighht've been triping.
there's super clear instructions 
It's pretty easy to use
well i followed it and then i just had no clue what the other button does
What button?
did anybody find the super secret tease that this blog post / announcement had? ๐
ive never used it before soo i wouldnt know what to say
they said to press the grip buttons on the vive controller to open edit mode?
but then what do you do after that, its kinda bland
this is inside of vrc too btw
I usually close all windows at first, open a new window in world then select the window i want
I am excited for Udon but I fear because of the latency issues in VRChat, multiplayer experiences with it will continue to be extremely subpar (see murder game latency issues).
@desert stratus oh and i wanted to ask, did my home world got bugged or something? cuz every time i start up vr it puts me into a different world
well at the very least, more people would start making good game worlds
public and its embarrassing ffs
Wait so I first heard about udon ages and ages ago, can someone refresh my memory
ehh, ive never heard of that issue before. weird ๐ค
Visual scripting language for worlds
Ah yeah I remember
wow i cant believe they're adding scratch to vrchat.
LOL
i swear to god if they add udon for avatars i will
do something. with my avatars. yeah.
๐
In theory it's going to make VRChat worlds become far more easier to build, and you'll be able to build a lot cooler stuff thanks to being able to actually.. script them. But unless they overhaul the networking system, experiences that require interaction between players are still going to suck because of the bad latency.
they are adding more tools for avatar makers, we just dont know what exactly
I'm more excited for that than udon
unless udon comes to avatars
so like game modes can become actual games like real video games?
Yah in theory
Lmao it's becoming the seed from sao
It'd be kinda like a scripting thing so you could made different types of games modes and such
but you'd obviously need to know how
well imagine that, improved horror games
I also fear the visual nature of it will limit it's capabilities compared to just normal scripts but hopefully it's powerful enough still for some awesome experiences
you can still do a lot without Udon but it can be a pain since it's a lot of hacky work around that tend to break since you might not be using certain things the way they were intended
Building complex stuff in visual scripting can also be very.. visually messy obviously.
Unreal Engine has a blue print system which is all node based so I can imagine it's similar (but wouldn't have access to lower level stuff obviously)
Would've preferred that the text representation come first but we'll see soon enough how well it works in practice I guess
if there are good tools for grouping nodes it's not too bad
improved horror games sounds exciting
Which is why Udon will be great in a lot of situations. Something that was a pain in the ass and required lots of workarounds in the current sdk may only require a few nodes in Udon.
thats crazy
I think they're avoiding textual scripting for security reasons. Visual node systems are easier to manage.
10mil raised? TFFFF
did someone say working horror games??
hell yeah
That being said I'd love text based scripting too.
@pure hemlock eh, you could always use editor extensions to construct udon scripts outside of the bounds of the GUI
So what really matters are restrictions on the abstract language, not how it's expressed
yeah I much prefer text based scripting, but node graphs are 100x better than nothing
makes it less daunting to new users as well
There will be someone who make a text to udon converter
Agree
@polar jasper you could call it Soba
Huhh
Node graphs are better than nothing definitely.
Or Linguini
If they are worried about security in text based scripting I wonder why they don't just restrict access to certain namespaces or certain functions within a namespace.
And even though you could write a text-udon transpiler , you'd still be limited to what Udon lets you do
@pure hemlock that depends on how much of the restrictions come from the GUI and how much comes from the backend
That said it's been a while since I wrote a transpiler, that might be a fun project
You could also put this into a plugin that shows a error when you use functions/methods that isn't allowed
Yah we'll see. I am excited for it.
i fully expect and am excited for people writing transpilers 
Tupper comes back!?
brb compiling a perl interpreter to webasm and running it on an udon JS engine
Will UDON allow persistence across sessions? ๐๐ฆ
shouldn't take too long for people to write, it just comes down to generating control flow graphs
no need to trans-pile -- you can com-pile
I remember Ron mentioning that they'd like to eventually have some form of persistence across worlds
Oh? Do you have some kind of bytecode?
yup!
Nice!
blessed
persistence would be amazing ๐
Nce
Papabless
Documented? ;)
Nah better write in Assembly yourself :^)
The more i hear about udon the more im hyped for it really
Imagine being able to save your progress in climbing maps ๐
yeah persistence data would be great, even if it's not here now with udon you could probably create a sort of password system
udon is like the one thing holding me back from finally learning how to make worlds. well, there's also the fact that i'v eopnly uploaded one hack of a world, dont really know how to 3d model or texture, never did lighting....udon guys, yeahh??
i just want udon for avatars mann.
Start learning C# now and you'll be good when Udon comes out
@torn nebula please write a compiler for Udon using https://github.com/lambdacasserole/uwuscript, thanks in advance
oh boy, so that's like 10 reasons for me to learrn C# now, thanks!
Would learning c# really be necessary when Udon is node based?
lmao it's just brainfuck
What if i learned javascript and want to do lovely things like
'5' + 3
< "53"
eh not even c# just get a grasp on programming basics
why god
@covert chasm this had better not be how vrchat interviews candidates
malbolge to udon compiler when
@covert chasm that language is an abomination
oh no its fine, ive done like barely enough programming that i'll probably be fine. im probably gonna do more anyway cuz of personal reasons
15min!?
@umbral reef
'5'.ToInt() + 3
:^) (took me a bit)
Good luck bd...
Tbh i kinda regret learning javascript as my first language as im used to the dumb things it does by now
just switch to a better language
JavaScript just seems like a royal pain. I'm excited for blazor to come out of preview so I can just use c# instead
Rewrite Unity then ๐คท
@covert chasm send me the udon bytecode docs tonight and I'll see what I can do? ;)
^ lol
when will udon be rewritten to bootstrap compile udon?
15 mins might be a bit tight though lol
Thats the time the devs got as well tho :^)
Everyone busy with something...
Also tupper we all know http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html Piet is the best programming language
Can we get a Piet -> Udon convertor going please?
How do I get my bones to connect to my base model in blender.. like I think ik how but I wasnt working
weight paint and skinning
@umbral reef The examples of code provided for that are pretty impressive
K
Can someone explain what udon is? I googled and found no answer besides it's a scripting system.
That's what it is
Next gen scripting
You answered your own question
basically allows basic programming in VRchat worlds
why is vrchat still down for me ๐
An sdk
@calm ether Tl;dr instead of having to write code you can drag the 'blocks' and connect them. Meaning the level to program is a lot easier and people that are not programmers can make cool things.
It takes time....dav
does being a no life here count as user support experience I wonder 
Oh so it's like scratch
so now in like december you dont have to use vrc redstone aka triggers to do shit for your worlds uwu
It's a node based system. Different nodes do different things and you link them together to get the desired result
A visual programming language
Now we can make proper Minecraft redstone worlds within VRchat
Look in the blog post for an example of Udon in action
i'm excited for our new command block upgrade
GUI friendly programming
are they ever going to do something about people spamming effects that go throughout the entire world/level?
i think they added a function that lets you hide other peoples avatars, not sure tho
thats annoying as hell but at the same time I dont want to use safety features and gimp things
Havent played around with any triggers beside the OSCI stuff really before it bricked
I mean, that's what they did about it lol
they added the features to help users who don't want to see stuff like that. otherwise not much you can do
i just dont see why they can't bring down the max radius or something
They can remove it what makes people angry
They can limit it harshly what will only kinda help and get people angry
They can do nothing and make people angry.
just mod the entirety of unity lol
Seems to me like the most important changes would be making it easier to make/import avatars and upgrading social systems so you can keep track of and message friends in an app and stay together across worlds
instead of me having to run around looking for the 1 idiot constantly spamming something
It's not already easy to make/import avatars?
@calm ether With udon? Its for worlds, not avatars...
No I mean in general
I bet if I grab a random MMD off DA I can have it ingame in...10 minutes? Maybe less if I don't stop to watch youtube videos
It takes more time loading the things then actually working on it rn
If you got things set up already. Else the downloading takes the longest for most people
@Beastin#2808 vrchat allows an enormous amount of freedom in shaders; while this makes a lot of neat effects possible, it's also impractical to restrict on a fine grained basis
Because you can upload literally anything, obviously difficulty will greatly vary
Like those are the things that would expand the user base and keep people coming back the most. Also more interactivity and games.
How can avatar creation be any easer than it is now without some crappy character creator no one will use?
no one wants to be non-copyright infringing Xbox avatar
Ease of use doesn't mean feature poor
@rigid crescent are you kidding, a character creator would be insanely used and that's all you'd see in public
;-;
@torn nebula my whole thought was to just kind of have it localized like voice is only seeing/hearing effects within a certain area. I get it if its not possible, it was just a thought
Photoshop is relatively easy to use and it's professional grade software
A character creator most likely wouldn't be nearly as cool as some random public world avatar lol
So is Unity?
And thanks to CATs, so is the Blender portion of avatar creation
But people like the easiest route
Which is why they download stuff from that one site and call it a day
Why I kinda don't want a character creator tbh
what is vroid studio
yeah vroid is a good example lol
Having to install and set up unity and having to rig everything every time instead of importing a file that people share means most people will never even attempt it
Slusho are you someone who can follow a tutorial step by step?
If so, congratz you can import 80% of all avatars you find. Can you ask questions/send a screenshot of a problem? Congratz you can import 90% of all avatars now.
Importing a file people share is already a thing
If they want mass adoption thats orders of magnitude greater than currently
Except the thing youre describing exists already
You download some files, throw it in blender, use cats to fix it up, export it to unity and upload it
I still think a very basic character creator would be nice
and if they ever add a store or w/e you can easily expand on that
90% of the time you don't need to rig a model you get from DeviantArt or something
No rigging needed most of the time, optimazation gets done within a few seconds, eye tracking and mouth all set up also within a few seconds
"Hey Slusho, here's this FBX/Prefab (importing a file people share) that you wanted!"
as if we dont have enough extremely similar avatar everywhere
That's literally how Booth models are sold
and how most models in general should be sold
via prefab or fbx
Discoverability is a big issue too
www.google.com works great tho
Running around avatar worlds randomly finding them isn't great
Exploration is part of the game?
If I have experience rigging by making Smash 4 mods, would making VRChat avatars not be too hard to jump into?
You'd be better off than most people
I haven't made one and have no clue what goes into it
your end goal is getting it into Unity pretty much
if you can already rig then you can do vrc avatars
from there it's e z
just shove that shit into unity and make the SDK pray
Uuu you download an avatar from the webs. Throw it into some programs that do most work. Press a few buttons that a tutorial can show you how to do and its imported.
your target is <70k tris, <4 materials
it's honestly rlly nice
Do you need to know Blender or will 3dsMax be fine?
Can someone point me toward the Shiba Squad Official discord
Can yo uexport to FBX with that?
In DMs
i dont think you need to know blender. blender is just widely popular in the vrc community cuz 1 - its free and 2 - it has a really OP tool specifically for vrc creators that has made creation much more widespread and easier than before
as long as you can create a completed avatar in 3dsMax (fully rigged and weighted) and export it as .fbx, you'll be fine @south sorrel
I use MAYA rn but donโt understand how to rig and import it to VRC
we need a plugin called DOGS that scuffs your model instead
Ohhhh okay, yeah 3dsMax can do that stuff. Thanks!
I have had trouble logging into vrchat. It seems to allow me to login using my steam id, but that is not the right one. I don't have any of my social settings or avatars visible in it. Any ideas? I always remember it as being the steam id and password.
serveroos are having issues
How is the server having a problem relavant considering i get ON, just without any info related to me visible.
Nobody confirm anything regard server issue at least I saw
@ionic token if you were playing using a VRC account, you need to login using those details, not steam login
try your email you used to register, and your password
When someone's using Shaders to display a helmet HUD and you can see it by moving close enough to it
im also not able to login atm
only some people are
I logged into vrchat.com. I had it send me a reset password to my secondary email account, and I never received it there OR my primary email account.
Tried vrchat.net also?
im just getting a errerror and then a black screen
How do I automatically log into my vrchat account? It used to automatically log me in but now I have to manually do it every time I launch the game
Server not fully ready yet. May takes sometimes..
Clearning cache can fix that problem @snow magnet
If IP changed, it goes like that Red...
ahh okay
Do I clear cache from within VRChat or is it outside of it? @umbral reef
Both should world i guess but im not sure about that. I do know that outside of VRC clearning can help though. (Its a might, i wont say for sure that it will be solved)
Alright. I'll try it out the next time I launch the game. Thanks @umbral reef
yeah i can't get pass the login screen ๐
vrchat say it going to available on more platforms in the future i really that it's not going to come to psvr
VRChat can't come to PSVR
Can't is very stern
Sony would have to make major changes to their policies regarding user generated content
It won't*
Ya know, the very thing that keeps the game alive
So maybe it'll be some low spec version with only stock assets and maps
ok then what could they mean by available on more platforms in the future
Hello!
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Ps4 VR maybe?
Possibly when Vive cosmos comes out, maybe their mobile client?
Already said it, PSVR won't happen
oh ok
or both
Cosmos thats it
if it does you won't like it the same way people dont like the quest version lol
Look at Sony's policy regarding user generated content and you'll know that VRChat has no future on PSVR
Unless it's purely for the chat partm
Vive focus is the stand alone one, Cosmos is the switch one
i think they will be mobile and pc vr chat
Switch one?
Isn't the Quest basically mobile VRChat?
Mainly PC Headset that can be mobile as well
yeah it's shit
What did you expect a mobile to be good for
i have a quest so i uses alvr and stream vrchat from my pc to the quest
Cosmos is interesting for sure ^^
Touch style controllers, inside out 6 camera tracking, 1440x1700 resolution
Ok
so am i the only one getting force disconnected from worlds right now
Nope
I relogged in VRCHAT, my VRCHAT home did't alone and instead of that putting you in a random public server from VRCHAT
I do sometimes
Some are still having trouble with the server. But stability seems to be getting better for most as time goes on
Yallo
well if thats true then my region isn't fixed cuz i kept crsahing in vr mode
The only thing i had in VRmode was that i had a audio problem. I did hear people in front of me when they are talking but also from far away LOL
Doing my daily world update
Adding another 2 pictures
Also 300 hours playtime now
Played another 13 today

I was the same when I first started on VRC. ^ ^;
12 hour sessions weren't that rare.
Holidays end soon
These days my sessions are mainly constrained by battery life. 4 hours for a casual short session, or 8 to 9 hours for a full one.
So i wont have that much time
Nah, I actually stood most of it. Or at least half of the time. ^ ^;
I'm getting seriously exhausted after a few hours of standing around in VR
I didn't like laying down before getting full body because it makes your avatar crumple up.
Yup. Hate that as well
It does unless you are in seated mode
Then your avatar is standing while you aren't
Now I have FBT I am guilty of seeking out comfy looking sofas, beds or ledges to lay down on more often. >_>
My next goal is a way better pc
Well even in seated mode, you'd end up with your head on a tilt, and your arms in this ridiculous zombie pose.
Which requires me to save up about 2-3k euros
The one thing I try to avoid with FBT, is being a FBT floater.
So basically the thing that almost everyone using FBT does
Ah yes floating menacingly
Yes. xD
Because they're lazy and sit but want to be at eye level with the person they're talking
It's not very immersive.
Also my head isnt tilted when im laying down
Jesus Christ if they raised $10m this game better start feeling less like it was written by a 13 year old Minecraft modder
I just have my arms crossed to avoid the zombie pose
So until I add a deployable flying carpet or cloud particles to my avatar, I'll sooner lay on the ground itself or seek out a low wall to perch on.
Says someone that has no clue how to work with user generated content
Can people stop complaining about the game having issues? Its early access.
And free
and its way ahead of schedule lol
That too
"Says someone that has no clue how to work with user generated content"
without the boom they'd be in the stone age still
Cant wait for personal bios and stuff like that
A little assumptive
Its not because you wouldnt complain if you did
Says the one making assumptions of what the work of a 13 year old Minecraft Modder would look like
To be honest, $10m isn't really that much in terms of game development, especially for an active and ongoing live service.
Yeah
User generated content doesn't make the interface run like crap
Vrchat has only a small team
You mean the friends list?
Because that's really the only interface part that isn't working as neat as I would like it to
They should add a "Update Friends list" button
Force update. Would love it
Right now I basically just use the website to check out who's on
Nono sometimes my favorited avatars and uploaded ones disappear too
But thats really rare
thatd probably cause so many issues
There's plenty of aspects of VRC that are lacking, and it's obviously fair to say no team is perfect, but I feel people do considerably underestimate the challenges involved.
constantly pinging the server
Yeah
On that topic why doesn't it have the ability to notify the client of changes in who's online? You can write something to handle that in JavaScript if you wanted to
Gotta consider that many people constantly check friends lists
Still, every other game would have real time updating friends lists
I mean imagine MMORPG's but at the update rate of VR Chat
because it'd be constantly pinging the server
In many games its rather easy but vrchat also has to load an avatar preview image, a status and world information
Because getting a thousand notifications from people joining and leaving is dumb. There is a reason modern day platforms dont use that anymore
Not if you use a simple socket based system
That means it has to be socket based. What for plenty of things it isnt yet ๐
I'm sure a friends update button could include a max ping rate.
Vrchat has to load more info per friend than a regular game
So that any more clicks after the first are ignored or held off for a few seconds.
it does?
not really if it's just a notice about someone coming online
location, profile picture....what else?
The website updates pretty much at real time. Makes me curious as to why the game can't do that
Well the profile pic is the issue
But the devs have talked about the gradual move to more socket based systems.
In most games it wont change often but in vrchat people change avatar a lot
@covert blade User count prob
Barely anyone uses the website and the website does not always display all online friends even btw
profile picture is already uploaded to the servers that isn't really an issue
Honestly I shouldnt complain, my friends list updates perfectly fine
You literally have to reference an image that is already generated
It shouldn't have to take any time at all
Are the servers back up?
Usually it says my friends are in the world before they loaded in sooo
because they technically are
with the investment though they'll hire more people and hopefully they can upgrade their infrastructure
It works perfectly fine for me
There was that one time I wanted to join someone and it kept saying they're in the same world even though they weren't
I mean, when they crash or change world
Then it'll still say they're in that world even though they left
I usually have that when my friend crashes
In that case, the list of users in the current instance knows more than the friends list
Crashes are way more frequent recently
Yeah I've felt that
I haven't actually
Sometimes it just crashes when I open the worlds menu
Changing worlds and sometimes while in the world
And changing worlds is high risk of crashing
But the entire game feels cheap
I crashed while having my best murder run
aww
I'm mostly fine when I'm already loaded in thankfully
So for as long as I don't change worlds or open the worlds menu, the game will be just fine
I was saying with the budget they just got, it better stop feeling cheap now instead of wasting time on new stuff
The game is still undet development
Patience is a virtue FaultyFeline
UI polishing seems to be in the todo list
things have been a bit better compared to a few months ago
I'm pretty sure the Dev Team knows how they'll use their budget, but because the game is in active development with frequent changes it's not too surprising that it is also a lil unstable
^^^
It's a unity game
So?
They don't even have to write an engine lol
So?
So?
anyone on oculus know how to turn off emotes? some avatars emote when you move your fingers and want to turn that off
Making a game is apparently effortless or what?
I have been told by a source, that there are significant changes to core systems in the works.
Throwing old certain old stuff entirely, to use something new.
Thank goodness
@safe night You mean like custom gestures or what?
Yeah
You cant
'A start up not writing there own VR eninge!? What are they? Stupid?'
Damn that's a shame
Some avatars are not made for vr
It's a social VR game what do you expect?
but desktop instead
My minecraft dirt block
some avatars are not made
My first VRChat session was yesterday, I couldn't believe the number of people in "VR"Chat without vr headsets (didn't know it was a thing tbh)
I generally use desktop to test my world
The number of players would be significantly less without the desktop support and seeing as that VRChat is the reason to buy VR to begin with, it's also great for companies like HTC to sell their headsets
You go into VRChat as a desktop user and see what VR users can do and you'll want to be able to do that too
Yeah
It depends on which instance and friends you hang with really.
And vr users then notice fbt and want that too
Honestly watching people with FBT is addicting
Go to the most active publics and you'll get 50 to 70% desktop. But most of the instances I spend time in are 50% FBT, 45% VR, and 5% desktop players.
Aaaand soon I'll have it myself, just dunno when it ships
About 60% of my friends have vr and about 25% of the vr users have ftb in my friends list
And yeah, VR-Chat including desktop support has been amazing for giving people an introduction and glimpse into VR that they simply wouldn't have had otherwise.
Same
only friending VR users, I don't need to see any stiff arms in here ๐ค ๐ค ๐ค
not same
Lmfao
I got VR cuz i wanted to play Beat Saber, then realized it was boring after a few hours
I went to visit a Quest compatible public world just this week, and it was pretty fun when someone eventually noticed my FBT, and how most people there had no idea such a thing existed.
I mean sure vr minecraft and beatsaber and such are fun, but that alone isnt worth it
did you get any beatsaber mods? custom songs completely change the game
Speaking of VR Minecraft, I should probably check that out as well
Yeah but vrchat is just way more fun
It'll probably go wrong in the most glorious way imaginable
Currently also unable to play beatsaber because I cant stand
and yeah playing VRchat pretty much made it worth for the ammount of playtime vs cost
I'm still at a cute 98 hours of playtime so it wasn't worth yet
People started doing the default emote dance, and one of the Quest users said something along the lines of, "Oh yeah, well can you do this?" and started doing a more complex custom dance emote.
Im at 300 now
610 feelsbad
So I decided to try and copy it physically.
Lmao
Im rapidly increasing my vrchat hours tho
Im still waiting for my personal avatar to be finished
At which point a pair were like, "Oh damn, you have the same dance?"
"No dude, that wasn't the same, it's slightly different."
etc
Thats way more wholesome than what you see from visitors in like a public room of rain for example
Just screechin
That and murder are 2 worlds I frequent when alone and honestly, interacting with visitors and new users there is mostly painful
Which really sucks honestly
Its also the huge rank difference that makes it difficult
I've actually had some luck with a visitor today who was actually fun to hang around with. Sometimes, ya get lucky. Mostly not though
Known and trusted users usually hang out in their groups in front of mirrors, often listening to music while most visitors are alone, in most cases dont get the mirror thing and just get the hang of the game and terms
I had a few luckies with visitors and new users too
I dont get the mirror thing at all
Most visitors either have that weird ginger default skin, or are russian. Or both
Its so easy to talk to others and do gestures in front of a mirror
I had a ton of fun in the public worlds last night
Because you can see what you do and all of your friends
- Fixed a crash that would occur often upon world change or avatar loading
Yes!
I don't have enough friends for that to matter really
A lot of weird people but apparently Iโm a normie
And for that one avatar with a few facial expressions I know exactly which gesture does what
Most of my fun in publics originates from joining random groups of known and trusted users
I crashed two nights ago right after stepping through a portal so hopefully this is a fix for that
Well, yeah since I quit playing after I crashed lol
I had fun with a random visitor trying to make a court case and someone else was messing with his hammer and it showed up on one of the cameras but he had no idea where that was
Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes the instance just sucks
Yeah
Same with Murder. Sometimes I get amazing rounds and some really good people in there and other times I join and I want to immediately leave again
I mean if they have a mic then that's a lil easier. I think I'm friends with a few visitors
I rember the first 2 digits and do the same
Today I was in a black cat with the following number: *69419
Like. So close to perfection.
Black Cat: Please use
or
avatars. Also be nice to Quest users.
Me:
non-quest compatible avatar
Yeah
The sad thing is that I barely have any quest compatible avatars at all.
I can run around as a Stormtrooper which is rated
(Unarmed) and
for the armed versions but they aren't quest compatible
me: 
also me: why is my cpu at 100%
also also me: must be them darn visitors
The meme stormtrooper is quest compatible
It somehow is on very poor but also for quest
I do have two Kings Raid avatars that are
and Quest compatible
how are you putting markers on avatars when the sdk accounts for inactive objects and the bounding box max size is 6 meters?
Most of mine are
but my normal hangout avatar is 
So in case I run into a friend using Quest I can use these so they can see something at least
But most of the worlds I've been to aren't even quest compatible to begin with
So Iโm really new but is there a way to search for avatars?
Its basically impossible to fit those criteria
You can only search for avatar worlds
Without making it look crappy anyways
Most good or exellent perf avatars dont look good imo
Stormtrooper looks decent and the Kings Raid avatars are actually pretty good from what I could tell.
it would be a lot easier if instead of nuking you for a single dynamic bone it averaged your avatar's performance
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
The alternatives are mostly
to
avatars overloaded with dynamic bones
Or too many material slots
*An excessive amount of material slots
So I'm pretty happy that I managed to settle for the current selection of avatars that I have right now
....you?
Now the big question. How many bones and materials ๐
Well most communities have there templates and such
Polys aren't even the main issue a lot of the times. Like, polys may be fine but 70+ material slots or so
And most people just add on to to those
Aev: 285 bones, not dynamic, just raw pure bones
polys still matter
Decimating an avatar is difficult to do correctly, but having 70 materials is pretty inexcusable
Hey so what happened to VR chat on the go??? It crashes every time i open it
if everyone was running around with 75k polys in a world that was 500k polys it adds up
Ive never seen 70 materials
it was just a stopgap to test the quest build
The highes ive ever seen is 43
I think one of the Yandere avatars I've seen had an excessive amount of material slots
And that was a messy avatar
Same with one of the Touhou ones
Another question, is it only possible to โsaveโ 16 avatars or are there other ways to save avatars?
VRChat on Go is not supported past the launch of VRChat on Quest
Vietnam materials flashback
@safe night Save the avatar worlds or upload your own stuff
My friend had the quest and we played it together
you could do an entire freaking world with 43 materials
@pine bluff VRchat isnt supported on the Oculus Go. There was a temporary build but that was ONLY a test build untill the quest came out.
yeet
I wish they made an official thing for the go. it was my only way of playing VR chat
@covert blade Thanks! VRChat isnโt exactly the most newbie friendly
well it's not like second life where you're expected to glue a bunch of parts together in engine
I should sleep soon
It ran really good on the oculus go. the only thing i didnt like was the thing saying do not share or stream
I've had worlds that were more performant then a few avatars I've seen in publics
but that was there for good reasons so i cant really complain lol
and that world is an optimized mess second life as there's basically zero enforcement for making optimal content
Well im going to go back to playing videogames and crying now
@umbral reef
That pfp fits perfectly
Nice
No sharing nsfw things... Owmy thats pretty
@placid umbra https://i.imgur.com/NjGipVv.jpg
This is something that I've spotted a while back. Took me a while to find that screenshot again
Dont ping the devs my dude
thats the debug avatar
I'm in the channel, it's fine
Debug avatar?
Also that screenshot is way too low quality
by scruffy
No it's not
why were there debug Avatar be a potato gremlin
That's 1920x1017
It's a utility avatar with a bunch of disabled tools, maybe one of the few reasonable times for the stats to be high
Its low quality when I view it tf
Open it in fullscreen ya dummy ๐
Low quality on mobile
open it in your browser then
Cause imgur
Great
There's a "open in browser" button
Are we starting this again? ๐
I used discord for 3 years, i know how stuff works
Oh yeah ya can't even open the image on discord itself because it doesn't preview
The frick is this
I should really sleep so I can do 16 hours of vrchat tomorro
I should probably consider using a more mobile friendly image host
16 hours wont be as easy as the 13 i managed today
The mobile quality is literal garbage even though the screenshot is uploaded in original quality
Yea
Last time we had an entire discussion about my cropping being terrible
It's not like I use ShareX to instantly take & upload screenshots of whatever part of my screen I want to take a screenshot of
discord is a good image host 
Too bad I can't directly upload images in this channel
It's in #vrchat-pictures now
I use gyazo
me too
Also 102k poly isnt the worst
102k for that thing that's barely anything
I have a personal server to keep all sorts of random things I need to save, including pictures
Like, just compare the poly count to the avatar
yeah true
This avatar has to little on it, it barely even exists
well it's still complete and utter Overkill 102k
