#

Yeah if I never see someone on then I'll remove them, if I happen to then join someone and they're online i'll re add them possibly

covert blade
#

Soooo yeah. For me, I just have to decide whether I liked them enough to be willing to meet them again

ancient scaffold
#

If they're chill and not super loud or full of themselves the that's good enough for me

covert blade
#

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

pure hemlock
#

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.

covert blade
#

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

pure hemlock
#

That was the red flag for me to stop accepting all friend requests

ancient scaffold
#

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

covert blade
#

What the? Well, I'm male so I think it is less likely to run into someone being that creepy

pure hemlock
#

Not that some random girl wouldn't do that either but... for some reason it's far more common with guys

covert blade
#

I bet they just added you because they like your avatar

#

Or your voice. Or both.

ancient scaffold
#

I had a female stalker once but she ended up just being super shy and finally came out of her shell

snow wadi
#

@pure hemlock That is...outright creepy, the story about the guy tailing you I mean.

ancient scaffold
#

I get added for my voice quite a bit for some odd reason

covert blade
#

What does your voice sound like?

ancient scaffold
#

I'm british and I get told it's really soft and calming to listen to

pure hemlock
#

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

covert blade
#

Huh

ancient scaffold
#

I dont hear it myself tbh

#

Most people who say something like that yin could be trolling but yeah it is still creepy

pure hemlock
#

Most likely since I don't hear it at all

snow wadi
#

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.

pure hemlock
#

But I guess most people hate their own voice

covert blade
#

< Me

snow wadi
#

Which is actually kinda sad, seeing what kind of people are in the game.

ancient scaffold
#

I dont hate my voice but I dont hear the calming or softness people have mentioned at all

covert blade
#

So you're like their bodyguard?

snow wadi
#

Not a bodyguard but they turn and walk away when they see my avatar.

covert blade
#

VR Chat sure is full of odd situations

pure hemlock
#

I honestly stay mute in public unless I am with a male friend lately I just noticed

snow wadi
#

I'm mostly in private or friends only worlds now though.

ancient scaffold
#

Yeah my girlfriend started doing that unless she feels comfortable around the dudes shes with like if they're part of our friendship group

covert blade
#

So that means I'll never see you in person. Okay

snow wadi
#

Oh you will, you just need to tell me when you're on.

#

Me going to public worlds? HA!

#

Brb

covert blade
#

I have barely any active friends so I could either go public or be in a world by myself

pure hemlock
#

Yah I know those feels

ancient scaffold
#

I've been one of those friends before, I stopped playing for like 7 months

pure hemlock
#

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

ancient scaffold
#

My girlfriends the same

languid igloo
#

Yeah I can say the same here

#

it sucks but eh

pure hemlock
#

I had friends once, I swear! ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

maiden swan
#

vrc daily crashed?

languid igloo
#

yea

covert blade
#

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.

ancient scaffold
#

I had the best group of friends I ever had then like 80% stopped playing

fluid bloom

did everyone else also just die?

ivory axle

i log in fine

vocal shard

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

There was no announcement today. Do you mean the one from Yesterday? Itโ€™s not a required update.

Oh no! I was going to jump in tonight

Is this just a simple server issue that can be fixed?

If this was a simple server issue it would be fixed already lmao

Welcome to IT

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

idle oar
neon quartz
#

Do I need three trackers for full body, or can I just use to for my feet. How about just one for my waist

broken plover
#

you can use one for waist or three for waist and legs

rigid crescent
#

one for the waist is exactly that

#

a waste tanabae

vocal shard
#

You need at least the hip tracker. It becomes your root bone when you use full body

rigid crescent
#

get all 3 or just save your money for all 3, no point in just getting the waist

broken plover
#

the only time you want to only use waist is if only 1 arrived and the other 2 trackers have longer shipping

neon quartz
#

Just curious if I can just get the feet for now. But are you saying the waist is 100%needed first?

broken plover
#

yes, waist is 100% needed first

vocal shard
#

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.

200IQ patch

vocal shard
#

This wasn't from the patch. This is more likely the servers, which is not hosted by vrchat

neon quartz
#

If you just have the waist, at least you wouldn't look like a stiff robot, would you?

tender ermine
#

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

vocal shard
#

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

broken plover
#

why is this "word" banned

vocal shard
#

Because that site hosts tos breaking content, and stolen unity assets

broken plover
#

oh, ok

vocal shard
#

So vrchat wants to make sure it's clear they are not associated with it

half path
#

the ol' "we are not liable" trick eh?

tender ermine
#

okay rip my question then

broken plover
#

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

pastel galleon
#

You can look in niconico, deviantart, or booth if you are willing to pay

turbid trellis
#

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

#

Only 1000 friends @stark scarab ? Try 1500.

broken plover

rigid crescent
#

what a waste lol

#

sounds like 1300 strangers you'll never talk to or see that you still have to scroll through tanabae

tender ermine
#

oh well rip can't find what i wanted on any of those sites.

torn nebula
#

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

broken plover
#

I rarely have to scroll to see all my online friends... I dont have that many active friends

vocal shard
#

I just add anyone, but keep my friends I know in my groups tabs

torn nebula
#

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

desert stratus
#

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

torn nebula
#

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

desert stratus
#

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

@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 vrcSoon

Whats udon

Interesting

hollow breach

wait wat is this udon talk? someone plz explain to me :3

covert chasm
#

@ivory axle

VRChat โ€œUdonโ€ is an in-development programming language designed specifically for VRChat. It utilizes a โ€œnode graphโ€ graphical interface to permit both new and experienced users to create complex, interactive content for their VRChat worlds.

#

please read the blog ๐Ÿ™ƒ

hollow breach
#

I cant read

lyric urchin
#

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

i wanted to ask if you know how to use it

there's super clear instructions vrcTrollThinking

It's pretty easy to use

well i followed it and then i just had no clue what the other button does

ancient scaffold

What button?

polar rose

did anybody find the super secret tease that this blog post / announcement had? ๐Ÿ™‚

desert stratus
#

ive never used it before soo i wouldnt know what to say

slate verge
#

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

ancient scaffold
#

I usually close all windows at first, open a new window in world then select the window i want

pure hemlock
#

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).

slate verge
#

@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

desert stratus
#

well at the very least, more people would start making good game worlds

slate verge
#

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 ๐Ÿค”

Visual scripting language for worlds

ancient scaffold
#

Ah yeah I remember

desert stratus
#

wow i cant believe they're adding scratch to vrchat.

ancient scaffold
#

LOL

inner cape
#

and potentially for avatars too*

#

but that's just a theory. a game theory.

desert stratus
#

i swear to god if they add udon for avatars i will

#

do something. with my avatars. yeah.

slate verge
#

๐Ÿ˜„

pure hemlock
#

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.

inner cape
#

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

slate verge
#

so like game modes can become actual games like real video games?

pure hemlock
#

Yah in theory

ancient scaffold
#

Lmao it's becoming the seed from sao

tidal aspen
#

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

pure hemlock
#

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

tidal aspen
#

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

pure hemlock
#

Building complex stuff in visual scripting can also be very.. visually messy obviously.

tidal aspen
#

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)

torn nebula
#

Would've preferred that the text representation come first but we'll see soon enough how well it works in practice I guess

tidal aspen
#

if there are good tools for grouping nodes it's not too bad

inner cape
#

improved horror games sounds exciting

floral aspen
#

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.

spice plume
#

thats crazy

pure hemlock
#

I think they're avoiding textual scripting for security reasons. Visual node systems are easier to manage.

spice plume
#

10mil raised? TFFFF

desert stratus
#

did someone say working horror games??

inner cape
#

hell yeah

floral aspen
#

That being said I'd love text based scripting too.

torn nebula
#

@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

tidal aspen
#

yeah I much prefer text based scripting, but node graphs are 100x better than nothing

#

makes it less daunting to new users as well

polar jasper
#

There will be someone who make a text to udon converter

stray temple
#

Agree

torn nebula
#

@polar jasper you could call it Soba

stray temple
#

Huhh

pure hemlock
#

Node graphs are better than nothing definitely.

polar jasper
#

Soba eh

#

Not a bad name ^^

torn nebula
#

Or Linguini

floral aspen
#

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.

pure hemlock
#

And even though you could write a text-udon transpiler , you'd still be limited to what Udon lets you do

torn nebula
#

@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

polar jasper
#

You could also put this into a plugin that shows a error when you use functions/methods that isn't allowed

pure hemlock
#

Yah we'll see. I am excited for it.

covert chasm
#

i fully expect and am excited for people writing transpilers PATTING

stray temple
#

Tupper comes back!?

torn nebula
#

brb compiling a perl interpreter to webasm and running it on an udon JS engine

grave dagger
#

Will UDON allow persistence across sessions? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’ฆ

sullen escarp
#

shouldn't take too long for people to write, it just comes down to generating control flow graphs

rose timber
#

no need to trans-pile -- you can com-pile

floral aspen
#

I remember Ron mentioning that they'd like to eventually have some form of persistence across worlds

torn nebula
#

Oh? Do you have some kind of bytecode?

rose timber
#

yup!

torn nebula
#

Nice!

sullen escarp
#

grave dagger
#

persistence would be amazing ๐Ÿ˜

stray temple

Papabless

torn nebula

Documented? ;)

brittle jolt
#

Nah better write in Assembly yourself :^)

umbral reef
#

The more i hear about udon the more im hyped for it really

grave dagger
#

Imagine being able to save your progress in climbing maps ๐Ÿ˜Š

tidal aspen
#

yeah persistence data would be great, even if it's not here now with udon you could probably create a sort of password system

desert stratus
#

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.

polar jasper
#

Start learning C# now and you'll be good when Udon comes out

covert chasm
desert stratus
#

oh boy, so that's like 10 reasons for me to learrn C# now, thanks!

floral aspen
#

Would learning c# really be necessary when Udon is node based?

sullen escarp
#

lmao it's just brainfuck

desert stratus
umbral reef
#

What if i learned javascript and want to do lovely things like

'5' + 3
< "53"

tidal aspen
#

eh not even c# just get a grasp on programming basics

desert stratus
#

why god

torn nebula
#

@covert chasm this had better not be how vrchat interviews candidates

covert chasm
#

you have 15 minutes

#

good luck

sullen escarp
#

malbolge to udon compiler when

floral aspen
#

@covert chasm that language is an abomination

desert stratus
#

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

stray temple
#

15min!?

brittle jolt

@umbral reef
'5'.ToInt() + 3
:^) (took me a bit)

stray temple
#

Good luck bd...

umbral reef
#

Tbh i kinda regret learning javascript as my first language as im used to the dumb things it does by now

sullen escarp
#

just switch to a better language

floral aspen
#

JavaScript just seems like a royal pain. I'm excited for blazor to come out of preview so I can just use c# instead

polar jasper
#

Rewrite Unity then ๐Ÿคท

torn nebula
#

@covert chasm send me the udon bytecode docs tonight and I'll see what I can do? ;)

polar jasper
#

^ lol

sullen escarp
#

when will udon be rewritten to bootstrap compile udon?

torn nebula
#

15 mins might be a bit tight though lol

brittle jolt
#

Thats the time the devs got as well tho :^)

stray temple
#

Everyone busy with something...

umbral reef
#

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

@umbral reef The examples of code provided for that are pretty impressive

calm ether
#

Can someone explain what udon is? I googled and found no answer besides it's a scripting system.

ancient scaffold
#

That's what it is

stray temple
#

Next gen scripting

floral aspen
#

You answered your own question

calm ether
#

What does that mean

#

I'm not programmer

#

Is it a language? An engine?

tidal aspen
#

basically allows basic programming in VRchat worlds

inner saddle
#

why is vrchat still down for me ๐Ÿ˜”

desert stratus
#

its pretty much a language

calm ether
#

An sdk

umbral reef
#

@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.

stray temple
#

It takes time....dav

inner cape
#

does being a no life here count as user support experience I wonder vrcThinking

calm ether
#

Oh so it's like scratch

desert stratus
#

so now in like december you dont have to use vrc redstone aka triggers to do shit for your worlds uwu

floral aspen
#

It's a node based system. Different nodes do different things and you link them together to get the desired result

calm ether
#

A visual programming language

umbral reef
#

Now we can make proper Minecraft redstone worlds within VRchat

floral aspen
#

Look in the blog post for an example of Udon in action

sullen escarp
#

i'm excited for our new command block upgrade

stray temple
#

GUI friendly programming

winged cradle
#

@umbral reef current trigger system is like red stone

#

a little above

vocal shard
#

are they ever going to do something about people spamming effects that go throughout the entire world/level?

rigid crescent
#

i think they added a function that lets you hide other peoples avatars, not sure tho

vocal shard
#

thats annoying as hell but at the same time I dont want to use safety features and gimp things

umbral reef
#

Havent played around with any triggers beside the OSCI stuff really before it bricked

rigid crescent
#

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

vocal shard
#

i just dont see why they can't bring down the max radius or something

umbral reef
#

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.

sullen escarp
#

just mod the entirety of unity lol

calm ether
#

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

vocal shard
#

instead of me having to run around looking for the 1 idiot constantly spamming something

rigid crescent
#

It's not already easy to make/import avatars?

umbral reef
#

@calm ether With udon? Its for worlds, not avatars...

calm ether
#

No I mean in general

rigid crescent
#

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

umbral reef
#

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

torn nebula
#

@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

rigid crescent
#

Because you can upload literally anything, obviously difficulty will greatly vary

calm ether
#

Like those are the things that would expand the user base and keep people coming back the most. Also more interactivity and games.

rigid crescent
#

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

calm ether
#

Ease of use doesn't mean feature poor

vocal shard
#

@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

calm ether
#

Photoshop is relatively easy to use and it's professional grade software

rigid crescent
#

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

vocal shard
#

But people like the easiest route

rigid crescent
#

Which is why they download stuff from that one site and call it a day

vocal shard
#

Why I kinda don't want a character creator tbh

sullen escarp
#

what is vroid studio

rigid crescent
#

yeah vroid is a good example lol

calm ether
#

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

umbral reef
#

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.

rigid crescent
#

Importing a file people share is already a thing

calm ether
#

If they want mass adoption thats orders of magnitude greater than currently

rigid crescent
#

Except the thing youre describing exists already

umbral reef
#

You download some files, throw it in blender, use cats to fix it up, export it to unity and upload it

tidal aspen
#

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

vocal shard
#

90% of the time you don't need to rig a model you get from DeviantArt or something

umbral reef
#

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

rigid crescent
#

"Hey Slusho, here's this FBX/Prefab (importing a file people share) that you wanted!"

inner cape
#

as if we dont have enough extremely similar avatar everywhere

rigid crescent
#

That's literally how Booth models are sold

#

and how most models in general should be sold

#

via prefab or fbx

calm ether
#

Discoverability is a big issue too

umbral reef
calm ether
#

Running around avatar worlds randomly finding them isn't great

rigid crescent
#

Exploration is part of the game?

south sorrel
#

If I have experience rigging by making Smash 4 mods, would making VRChat avatars not be too hard to jump into?

rigid crescent
#

You'd be better off than most people

south sorrel
#

I haven't made one and have no clue what goes into it

rigid crescent
#

your end goal is getting it into Unity pretty much

desert stratus
#

if you can already rig then you can do vrc avatars

rigid crescent
#

from there it's e z

desert stratus
#

just shove that shit into unity and make the SDK pray

umbral reef
#

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.

desert stratus
#

your target is <70k tris, <4 materials

south sorrel
#

make the SDK pray lmao

#

Ah good to know though. Sounds decently fleshed out

desert stratus
#

it's honestly rlly nice

south sorrel
#

Do you need to know Blender or will 3dsMax be fine?

queen bramble
#

Can someone point me toward the Shiba Squad Official discord

rigid crescent
#

Can yo uexport to FBX with that?

queen bramble
#

In DMs

desert stratus
#

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

queen bramble
#

I use MAYA rn but donโ€™t understand how to rig and import it to VRC

inner cape
#

we need a plugin called DOGS that scuffs your model instead

south sorrel
#

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.

@ionic token if you were playing using a VRC account, you need to login using those details, not steam login

Clearning cache can fix that problem @snow magnet

If IP changed, it goes like that Red...

ahh okay

snow magnet

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)

VRChat can't come to PSVR

covert blade
#

Sony would have to make major changes to their policies regarding user generated content

vestal pier
#

It won't*

covert blade
#

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

silk shadow

ok then what could they mean by available on more platforms in the future

storm iris
#

Hello!

covert blade
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

rigid crescent

They mean other platforms?

#

Mac, other standalone headsets, etc

vestal pier

Vive focus is an obvious one

#

Is that the name of it?

storm iris
#

Ps4 VR maybe?

vocal shard
#

Possibly when Vive cosmos comes out, maybe their mobile client?

covert blade

Already said it, PSVR won't happen

storm iris

oh ok

silk shadow
#

or both

vestal pier
#

Cosmos thats it

rigid crescent

if it does you won't like it the same way people dont like the quest version lol

covert blade

Look at Sony's policy regarding user generated content and you'll know that VRChat has no future on PSVR

vestal pier
#

Unless it's purely for the chat partm

vocal shard
#

Vive focus is the stand alone one, Cosmos is the switch one

silk shadow
#

i think they will be mobile and pc vr chat

vestal pier

Switch one?

covert blade

Isn't the Quest basically mobile VRChat?

vocal shard
#

Mainly PC Headset that can be mobile as well

vestal pier

I was the same when I first started on VRC. ^ ^;

#

12 hour sessions weren't that rare.

covert blade
#

12 hour sessions? Waaa

#

Seated right?

molten gale
#

Holidays end soon

ruby burrow
#

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.

molten gale
#

So i wont have that much time

ruby burrow
#

Nah, I actually stood most of it. Or at least half of the time. ^ ^;

molten gale
#

I... lay down

#

I was laying down for the full 13 hours

covert blade
#

I'm getting seriously exhausted after a few hours of standing around in VR

ruby burrow
#

I didn't like laying down before getting full body because it makes your avatar crumple up.

covert blade
#

Yup. Hate that as well

molten gale
#

It does unless you are in seated mode

covert blade
#

Then your avatar is standing while you aren't

ruby burrow
#

Now I have FBT I am guilty of seeking out comfy looking sofas, beds or ledges to lay down on more often. >_>

covert blade
#

I'm gonna have FBT Soonโ„ข

#

I just, have no idea when it ships

molten gale
#

My next goal is a way better pc

ruby burrow
#

Well even in seated mode, you'd end up with your head on a tilt, and your arms in this ridiculous zombie pose.

molten gale
#

Which requires me to save up about 2-3k euros

ruby burrow
#

The one thing I try to avoid with FBT, is being a FBT floater.

covert blade
#

So basically the thing that almost everyone using FBT does

molten gale
#

Ah yes floating menacingly

ruby burrow
#

Yes. xD

covert blade
#

Because they're lazy and sit but want to be at eye level with the person they're talking

ruby burrow
#

It's not very immersive.

molten gale
#

Also my head isnt tilted when im laying down

haughty gazelle
#

Jesus Christ if they raised $10m this game better start feeling less like it was written by a 13 year old Minecraft modder

molten gale
#

I just have my arms crossed to avoid the zombie pose

ruby burrow
#

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.

molten gale
#

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.

covert blade
#

And free

rigid crescent
#

and its way ahead of schedule lol

molten gale
#

That too

haughty gazelle
#

"Says someone that has no clue how to work with user generated content"

rigid crescent
#

without the boom they'd be in the stone age still

molten gale
#

Cant wait for personal bios and stuff like that

haughty gazelle
#

A little assumptive

molten gale
#

Its not because you wouldnt complain if you did

covert blade
#

Says the one making assumptions of what the work of a 13 year old Minecraft Modder would look like

ruby burrow
#

To be honest, $10m isn't really that much in terms of game development, especially for an active and ongoing live service.

molten gale
#

Yeah

haughty gazelle
#

User generated content doesn't make the interface run like crap

molten gale
#

Vrchat has only a small team

covert blade
#

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

molten gale
#

They should add a "Update Friends list" button

covert blade
#

Force update. Would love it

#

Right now I basically just use the website to check out who's on

molten gale
#

Nono sometimes my favorited avatars and uploaded ones disappear too

#

But thats really rare

rigid crescent
#

thatd probably cause so many issues

ruby burrow
#

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.

rigid crescent
#

constantly pinging the server

molten gale
#

Yeah

haughty gazelle
#

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

molten gale
#

Gotta consider that many people constantly check friends lists

covert blade
#

Still, every other game would have real time updating friends lists

#

I mean imagine MMORPG's but at the update rate of VR Chat

rigid crescent
#

because it'd be constantly pinging the server

molten gale
#

In many games its rather easy but vrchat also has to load an avatar preview image, a status and world information

umbral reef
#

Because getting a thousand notifications from people joining and leaving is dumb. There is a reason modern day platforms dont use that anymore

haughty gazelle
#

Not if you use a simple socket based system

umbral reef
#

That means it has to be socket based. What for plenty of things it isnt yet ๐Ÿ‘

ruby burrow
#

I'm sure a friends update button could include a max ping rate.

molten gale
#

Vrchat has to load more info per friend than a regular game

ruby burrow
#

So that any more clicks after the first are ignored or held off for a few seconds.

rigid crescent
#

it does?

tidal aspen
#

not really if it's just a notice about someone coming online

rigid crescent
#

location, profile picture....what else?

covert blade
#

The website updates pretty much at real time. Makes me curious as to why the game can't do that

molten gale
#

Well the profile pic is the issue

ruby burrow
#

But the devs have talked about the gradual move to more socket based systems.

molten gale
#

In most games it wont change often but in vrchat people change avatar a lot

umbral reef
#

@covert blade User count prob

#

Barely anyone uses the website and the website does not always display all online friends even btw

tidal aspen
#

profile picture is already uploaded to the servers that isn't really an issue

molten gale
#

Honestly I shouldnt complain, my friends list updates perfectly fine

haughty gazelle
#

You literally have to reference an image that is already generated

#

It shouldn't have to take any time at all

spark jackal
#

Are the servers back up?

molten gale
#

Usually it says my friends are in the world before they loaded in sooo

rigid crescent
#

because they technically are

molten gale
#

Yeah

#

I cant complain

tidal aspen
#

with the investment though they'll hire more people and hopefully they can upgrade their infrastructure

molten gale
#

It works perfectly fine for me

rigid crescent
#

i mean the jobs are up

#

have been for a bit now

covert blade
#

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

molten gale
#

I mean, when they crash or change world

covert blade
#

Then it'll still say they're in that world even though they left

molten gale
#

I usually have that when my friend crashes

covert blade
#

In that case, the list of users in the current instance knows more than the friends list

molten gale
#

Crashes are way more frequent recently

covert blade
#

Yeah I've felt that

haughty gazelle
#

I haven't actually

covert blade
#

Sometimes it just crashes when I open the worlds menu

molten gale
#

Changing worlds and sometimes while in the world

covert blade
#

And changing worlds is high risk of crashing

haughty gazelle
#

But the entire game feels cheap

molten gale
#

I crashed while having my best murder run

covert blade
#

aww

molten gale
#

Its free and made by a small group

#

and early access

covert blade
#

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

haughty gazelle
#

I was saying with the budget they just got, it better stop feeling cheap now instead of wasting time on new stuff

molten gale
#

The game is still undet development

covert blade

UI polishing seems to be in the todo list

tidal aspen
#

things have been a bit better compared to a few months ago

molten gale
#

Definetely

#

Things finally load

#

The load times are so much better now its great

covert blade
#

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

molten gale

^^^

haughty gazelle
#

It's a unity game

covert blade
#

So?

haughty gazelle
#

They don't even have to write an engine lol

covert blade
#

So?

molten gale
#

So?

safe night
#

anyone on oculus know how to turn off emotes? some avatars emote when you move your fingers and want to turn that off

covert blade
#

Making a game is apparently effortless or what?

ruby burrow
#

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.

haughty gazelle
#

Thank goodness

covert blade
#

@safe night You mean like custom gestures or what?

safe night
#

Yeah

molten gale
#

You cant

covert blade
#

Gestures are always bound to the avatar

#

You cannot disable them on your own

umbral reef
#

'A start up not writing there own VR eninge!? What are they? Stupid?'

safe night
#

Damn that's a shame

molten gale
#

Some avatars are not made for vr

covert blade
#

It's a social VR game what do you expect?

molten gale
#

but desktop instead

covert blade
#

My minecraft dirt block

stiff sparrow
#

some avatars are not made

safe night
#

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)

molten gale
#

I generally use desktop to test my world

covert blade
#

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

molten gale
#

Yeah

ruby burrow
#

It depends on which instance and friends you hang with really.

molten gale
#

And vr users then notice fbt and want that too

covert blade
#

Honestly watching people with FBT is addicting

molten gale
#

Yeah it looks quite nice

#

But with a rift s fbt isnt possible

ruby burrow
#

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.

covert blade
#

Aaaand soon I'll have it myself, just dunno when it ships

molten gale
#

About 60% of my friends have vr and about 25% of the vr users have ftb in my friends list

ruby burrow
#

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.

molten gale
#

Yeah

#

I ony got vr because vrchat

ivory axle
#

Same

tidal aspen
#

only friending VR users, I don't need to see any stiff arms in here ๐Ÿ˜ค ๐Ÿ˜ค ๐Ÿ˜ค

tender ermine
#

not same

ivory axle
#

Lmfao

tender ermine
#

I got VR cuz i wanted to play Beat Saber, then realized it was boring after a few hours

ruby burrow
#

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.

molten gale
#

I mean sure vr minecraft and beatsaber and such are fun, but that alone isnt worth it

tidal aspen
#

did you get any beatsaber mods? custom songs completely change the game

covert blade
#

Speaking of VR Minecraft, I should probably check that out as well

molten gale
#

Yeah but vrchat is just way more fun

covert blade
#

It'll probably go wrong in the most glorious way imaginable

molten gale
#

Currently also unable to play beatsaber because I cant stand

tidal aspen
#

and yeah playing VRchat pretty much made it worth for the ammount of playtime vs cost

covert blade
#

I'm still at a cute 98 hours of playtime so it wasn't worth yet

ruby burrow
#

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.

molten gale
#

Im at 300 now

ivory axle
#

610 feelsbad

ruby burrow
#

So I decided to try and copy it physically.

molten gale
#

Lmao

#

Im rapidly increasing my vrchat hours tho

#

Im still waiting for my personal avatar to be finished

ruby burrow
#

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

molten gale
#

Thats way more wholesome than what you see from visitors in like a public room of rain for example

ivory axle
#

Just screechin

molten gale
#

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

covert blade
#

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

molten gale
#

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

covert blade
#

I dont get the mirror thing at all

pine vine
#

Most visitors either have that weird ginger default skin, or are russian. Or both

molten gale
#

Its so easy to talk to others and do gestures in front of a mirror

safe night
#

I had a ton of fun in the public worlds last night

molten gale
#

Because you can see what you do and all of your friends

covert blade
#
  • Fixed a crash that would occur often upon world change or avatar loading
molten gale
#

Yes!

covert blade
#

I don't have enough friends for that to matter really

safe night
#

A lot of weird people but apparently Iโ€™m a normie

covert blade
#

And for that one avatar with a few facial expressions I know exactly which gesture does what

molten gale
#

Most of my fun in publics originates from joining random groups of known and trusted users

floral aspen
#

I crashed two nights ago right after stepping through a portal so hopefully this is a fix for that

molten gale
#

Only one crash?

#

I crashed like 7 times today

floral aspen
#

Well, yeah since I quit playing after I crashed lol

covert blade
#

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

molten gale
#

Yeah

covert blade
#

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

molten gale
#

I really want to talk to the newer folks more but its so hard

#

Same mason

covert blade
#

I mean if they have a mic then that's a lil easier. I think I'm friends with a few visitors

molten gale
#

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.

covert blade
#

Black Cat: Please use vrcPerfExcellent or vrcPerfGood avatars. Also be nice to Quest users.
Me: vrcPerfPoor non-quest compatible avatar

molten gale
#

Yeah

covert blade
#

The sad thing is that I barely have any quest compatible avatars at all.

molten gale
#

I dont have good performance avatars

#

Because none of them look fitting for me

covert blade
#

I can run around as a Stormtrooper which is rated vrcPerfGood (Unarmed) and vrcPerfMedium for the armed versions but they aren't quest compatible

tropic spoke
#

me: vrcPerfVeryPoor
also me: why is my cpu at 100%
also also me: must be them darn visitors

molten gale
#

The meme stormtrooper is quest compatible

covert blade
#

I dont have that one

#

That one aint public. Would have to clone it from someone

molten gale
#

It somehow is on very poor but also for quest

covert blade
#

I do have two Kings Raid avatars that are vrcPerfGood and Quest compatible

tropic spoke
#

how are you putting markers on avatars when the sdk accounts for inactive objects and the bounding box max size is 6 meters?

molten gale
#

Most of mine are vrcPerfVeryPoor but my normal hangout avatar is vrcPerfPoor

covert blade
#

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

safe night
#

So Iโ€™m really new but is there a way to search for avatars?

molten gale
#

Its basically impossible to fit those criteria

covert blade
#

You can only search for avatar worlds

molten gale
#

Without making it look crappy anyways

#

Most good or exellent perf avatars dont look good imo

covert blade
#

Stormtrooper looks decent and the Kings Raid avatars are actually pretty good from what I could tell.

tropic spoke
#

it would be a lot easier if instead of nuking you for a single dynamic bone it averaged your avatar's performance

molten gale
#

Yeah those are excluded

#

But they are also not very original

covert blade
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

The alternatives are mostly vrcPerfPoor to vrcPerfVeryPoor 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

placid umbra
#

5k polycount think

covert blade
#

....you?

umbral reef
#

Now the big question. How many bones and materials ๐Ÿ‘€

molten gale
#

Well most communities have there templates and such

covert blade
#

Polys aren't even the main issue a lot of the times. Like, polys may be fine but 70+ material slots or so

molten gale
#

And most people just add on to to those

cold talon
#

Aev: 285 bones, not dynamic, just raw pure bones

tidal aspen
#

polys still matter

placid umbra
#

Decimating an avatar is difficult to do correctly, but having 70 materials is pretty inexcusable

pine bluff
#

Hey so what happened to VR chat on the go??? It crashes every time i open it

tidal aspen
#

if everyone was running around with 75k polys in a world that was 500k polys it adds up

molten gale
#

Ive never seen 70 materials

graceful pewter
#

it was just a stopgap to test the quest build

molten gale
#

The highes ive ever seen is 43

covert blade
#

I think one of the Yandere avatars I've seen had an excessive amount of material slots

molten gale
#

And that was a messy avatar

covert blade
#

Same with one of the Touhou ones

safe night
#

Another question, is it only possible to โ€œsaveโ€ 16 avatars or are there other ways to save avatars?

placid umbra
#

VRChat on Go is not supported past the launch of VRChat on Quest

cold talon
#

Vietnam materials flashback

covert blade
#

@safe night Save the avatar worlds or upload your own stuff

pine bluff
#

My friend had the quest and we played it together

graceful pewter
#

you could do an entire freaking world with 43 materials

umbral reef
#

@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.

vocal shard
#

yeet

pine bluff
#

I wish they made an official thing for the go. it was my only way of playing VR chat

safe night
#

@covert blade Thanks! VRChat isnโ€™t exactly the most newbie friendly

molten gale
#

Yeah it really isnt

#

Most visitors dont know about safety and such

graceful pewter
#

well it's not like second life where you're expected to glue a bunch of parts together in engine

molten gale
#

I should sleep soon

pine bluff
#

It ran really good on the oculus go. the only thing i didnt like was the thing saying do not share or stream

tidal aspen
#

I've had worlds that were more performant then a few avatars I've seen in publics

pine bluff
#

but that was there for good reasons so i cant really complain lol

graceful pewter
#

and that world is an optimized mess second life as there's basically zero enforcement for making optimal content

pine bluff
#

Well im going to go back to playing videogames and crying now

placid umbra
molten gale
#

That pfp fits perfectly

pastel galleon
#

Nice

umbral reef
#

No sharing nsfw things... Owmy thats pretty

covert blade
#

This is something that I've spotted a while back. Took me a while to find that screenshot again

molten gale
#

Dont ping the devs my dude

indigo fern
#

thats the debug avatar

placid umbra
#

I'm in the channel, it's fine

covert blade
#

Debug avatar?

molten gale
#

Also that screenshot is way too low quality

indigo fern
#

by scruffy

covert blade
#

No it's not

graceful pewter
#

why were there debug Avatar be a potato gremlin

covert blade
#

That's 1920x1017

placid umbra
#

It's a utility avatar with a bunch of disabled tools, maybe one of the few reasonable times for the stats to be high

molten gale
#

Its low quality when I view it tf

covert blade
#

Open it in fullscreen ya dummy ๐Ÿ‘€

pastel galleon
#

Low quality on mobile

indigo fern
#

open it in your browser then

pastel galleon
#

Cause imgur

molten gale
#

Great

covert blade
#

There's a "open in browser" button

molten gale
#

Yeah ik but imgur

#

Wont do high quality on mobile

covert blade
#

Are we starting this again? ๐Ÿ‘€

molten gale
#

I used discord for 3 years, i know how stuff works

covert blade
#

Oh yeah ya can't even open the image on discord itself because it doesn't preview

#

The frick is this

molten gale
#

I should really sleep so I can do 16 hours of vrchat tomorro

covert blade
#

I should probably consider using a more mobile friendly image host

molten gale
#

16 hours wont be as easy as the 13 i managed today

covert blade
#

The mobile quality is literal garbage even though the screenshot is uploaded in original quality

molten gale
#

Yea

covert blade
#

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

inner cape
#

discord is a good image host vrcAevSip

covert blade
#

Too bad I can't directly upload images in this channel

molten gale
#

I use gyazo

graceful pewter
#

me too

molten gale
#

Also 102k poly isnt the worst

covert blade
#

102k for that thing that's barely anything

inner cape
#

I have a personal server to keep all sorts of random things I need to save, including pictures

molten gale
#

I have one with 162k

#

Same

covert blade
#

Like, just compare the poly count to the avatar

molten gale
#

yeah true

covert blade
#

This avatar has to little on it, it barely even exists

graceful pewter
#

well it's still complete and utter Overkill 102k

molten gale

Mine is called "Pacis emoji dump"
