vrchat-general-2

[lyric sphinx]

yall know some good shit

What was causing such a bad frame drop?

[hollow sluice]

Everything in there

I was told the lag was insane

But I am wondering. How Hard was it to become a creator so you could promote yourself there too

[lyric sphinx]

Oh good, what a shame

[indigo fern]

I think it was through a lotto type thing

[hollow sluice]

Mhm

[indigo fern]

Because there was another world of people who didn't make it

I miss this one creator

[lyric sphinx]

idk how to do modeling so im soI

[indigo fern]

He had a booth in vket1 and 2, all he has was a piece of bread

[hollow sluice]

Its my only source of income so that exposure could have been nice

[rigid crescent]

Next event will probably make it easier for non-english speaknig artists to get in

[indigo fern]

Yea, they expanded a hell of a lot this time

[rigid crescent]

Though there's not that many active in the VRC community, definitely not enough to fill a world but hopefully they're able to work something out, maybe a world dedicated to it just so its easier

[lyric sphinx]

Why subject Yourself to Lack of income?

[rigid crescent]

Can't wait to see all the MMD kitters turned down though lol

[indigo fern]

There was a IRL crossover with a clothing line and all their vket3 merch sold pretty gud, the designs looked so nice too

I wanna see more real products to buy

[rigid crescent]

I'm hoping the main creator I like has something else, maybe a new outfit or more accessories. since their main piece they've only released a pair of shoes

[lyric sphinx]

im definatly disappointed that vrchat isn't What it used to be in terms of played count and amount of playability the quest inclusion was nice but it doesn't seem like it was enough

[rigid crescent]

Playercount doesn't matter much at this stage, most of those people were just numbers

[indigo fern]

The peak play count was just unhealthy, I think if we had those numbers now it was still be bad

What really sucks is how many are in privates

Uh, doing the deeds

[rigid crescent]

I'd much rather hand a few thousand "real" players than the tens of thousands rampart idiots we had then lol

[lyric sphinx]

What do you mean just numbers?

[rigid crescent]

They were literally just people here for the meme

[indigo fern]

People just logging in for like a couple minutes to meme ye

[rigid crescent]

simply numbers, not "real" players

[lyric sphinx]

Mic, I agree

[rigid crescent]

The people who stayed, continued to join, and still stayed are the ones that mattered in the end anyway, basically the majority of people we have now

[lyric sphinx]

Yeah, the moment got old quick

[indigo fern]

I mean, if servers allow it, vrc is almost always at a concurrent 4k-6k

Weekends get up to 9k

[lyric sphinx]

One of the matches of werewolf I played today was a joke and being in pug pub was almost as bad as when the game was at its peak player counts

I hate how many people have an anime girl avatar

[indigo fern]

Go to the box, that's a different beast altogether 😂

[lyric sphinx]

I haven't heard go things about that room or the void

[indigo fern]

Void is pretty ok, just a bit laggy

Tho people there are usually drunk

[lyric sphinx]

What's in there?

[indigo fern]

It's one of the main club like worlds, so you can get dancing, but most of the time mirror watchers

[lyric sphinx]

I want to get the pig pub popular. It's the pug pub but minecraft

[indigo fern]

Black cat is pretty decent

[hollow sluice]

@lyric sphinx why subject myself to a lack of income?

Well Simple. I am not the legal age to work yet

[indigo fern]

🚔

[lyric sphinx]

How old even are you?

[hollow sluice]

16

[lyric sphinx]

You can get a job at 16

I work with teens

[hollow sluice]

Not in Slovakia

[lyric sphinx]

Lol

🇺🇸

[ebon zealot]

[boreal violet]

im sure you could find something to do, i "couldnt" work at 14 here in Sweden but i still sold strawberries outside stores

[lyric sphinx]

Good night guys, I need sleep, lol

[boreal violet]

nite

drinking morning coffee over here 😉

[hollow sluice]

@boreal violet yeah I had a job for 2 years in a super market. IT payed 20€ a month. Which was pretty fucking shit so after I saved up for a PC i left because it was too much work for that kind of pay

Nevervfound a better offer

And I looked believe mé

[boreal violet]

That sounds pretty shit unless you were working like two hours a month

[hollow sluice]

6 hours a Day waking up at 4am

[boreal violet]

(tho i have no idea about slovakian economics)

[hollow sluice]

They are shit but electronics are more expensive than in US here

[boreal violet]

yeah i just looked up the big mac index, you are about on par with us swedes

performance electronics are expensive everywhere

[hollow sluice]

True

But a HTC vive still costs 700€ here

[ruby needle]

Ouch

[hollow sluice]

The rift s about 800 iirc

[ruby needle]

Double ouch

[hollow sluice]

Luckly I got my HTC for around 300€ used

[faint skiff]

I was going to say, look into getting them second hand from another country at those prices. Full Vive kits are only around £260 here.

[hollow sluice]

Well I am happy that the avatar making is making me enough to soon afford fbt

[faint skiff]

Oh nice

[slow halo]

Well done

[faint skiff]

Full creation, kit bashing, or just minor changes?

[rigid crescent]

imma guess kitbash from the profile pic lol

[faint skiff]

Profile pic is just a straight Subcom avatar from what I can tell.

[rigid crescent]

which is why im guessing kitbash. if i did anything from scratch and had my avatar as my profile pic it definitely wouldn't be of a wolfboy lol

[faint skiff]

Haha. I mean my avatar picture is from an old Amiga game, so I'm not assuming someone's profile picture is really related to what they do or what they use in-game.

[rigid crescent]

that would make sense if it wasnt an avatar to begin with

it's like if mine was just some random model i found a pic of

[faint skiff]

Could be ironic...

[rigid crescent]

a stretch but i guess

[snow wadi]

[hollow sluice]

A way to make me feel bad about my pfp. Thanks

[rigid crescent]

i mean you're the one who feels bad about it, all i did was guess

[snow wadi]

But you already know me.

_>/

[hollow sluice]

But for now I do kitbashimg and a few custom clothing from scratch. Thats why I have a pay what you want policy. Everyone feels different about the effort that goes in to it. I am learning sculpting though so I might make a New base from scratch. Not just clothing

[faint skiff]

I've had several people insist on paying me for making their avatars, but they're friends so I'd feel bad and refuse.

[rigid crescent]

ah. kitbashing

[hollow sluice]

Everyone starts somewhere. I have only been doing modeling for 1 month

[rigid crescent]

im just not a fan because kitbashing for comms usually means selling stolen stuff

usually.

[hollow sluice]

Well yeah. Ppl usually just pay for the work

[snow wadi]

[hollow sluice]

But I sometimes dont see the point in modeling from scratch. For example. Why bother making another anime male base when theres already one out there that Will probably look better than yours anyways

[snow wadi]

I prefer from scratch because I get to be a character that doesn't exist in 3D form at all.

:3

[vocal shard]

Why are some of the times on vrchat website for when friends were last online so off?

[hollow sluice]

Well yes but IF my character is gonna Be an anime male I might as well just Save myself the time

[faint skiff]

@snow wadi Yes, but you're also throwing obscene amounts of money at it 😉

[snow wadi]

Uuuh not quite.

[faint skiff]

Really? I'd have thought all your ones you had made would have cost a fortune

[snow wadi]

I work with 2 modelers, one that charges alot but they get it done within a week, and another that charges less but it takes them about 4 months to complete.

And I commission the modeler that is suitable for the task, for example the next model I commissioned is a snek and only one of them could get her right.

And no it;s not who you think it is xD

[hollow sluice]

Snek boy I wish

[faint skiff]

mmhmmm

[hollow sluice]

I am making that now

[faint skiff]

Because one of those modellers seemed to be charging around $400 for what just seemed to be some minor texture changes and emissions (e.g. the shark ones, which are quite popular now).

[snow wadi]

Oh no that's not the same guy then xD

The one I commission is actually an expert in snakes and aeromorphs.

[faint skiff]

I'm not sure I'd ever be happy commissioning something though as I don't think I could ever get it perfect and I'd not be in a position to modify it myself, so I stick with just bodging it together because at least then I can keep working on it and haven't paid for anything.

lol, the one you commission is a balloon artist 😛

[snow wadi]

Are you talking about the one that made Qhala for me?

[faint skiff]

I'm not sure if he's the one that makes the shark ones, I'm probably thinking of someone else for that. I was referring to your usual taste in... exaggerated characters.

[snow wadi]

Yeah the guy I speak of didn't make a shark yet >_>

[faint skiff]

My brain made the connection to balloons the other day and now I can't get it out of my head.

[hollow sluice]

Well there are balloons that they make after all

One of my friends learnt blender just to add huge balloons to the nanach characters lol

[faint skiff]

That's... not quite what I mean.

[snow wadi]

lmao

[faint skiff]

Hideo Kojima just bought an Index, should get him into VRChat, lel

[hollow sluice]

Nooo

Noo

[faint skiff]

I'd love to have my tail be contiguous to the body, but that would require making the hips much wider and I'm not sure the avatar's armature would then fit well with my RL body. Compromises are unfortunate but necessary until we have some sort of neural link.

[quasi summit]

imo i dont really like the feature where you have to do stuff to get your avatar ;-;

[slow halo]

God I hope I live long enough to see that

Much as I don't like Sao, I'd love that sort of tech

[quasi summit]

what's sao?

[slow halo]

Sword Art online

[quasi summit]

oh

ok

[faint skiff]

"Do stuff"?

[quasi summit]

yeah

like, i have to do stuff so i can upload my avatar to vrchat

[slow halo]

Do you mean play long enough to get the rank you need, or using unity to upload it

[quasi summit]

using unity

[slow halo]

... how would you propose we do it differently?

[quasi summit]

uh

i dunno

:(

[broken plover]

I personally, like working with unity

[faint skiff]

That timelock is in place to stop people just making new accounts and then uploading lots of malicious or generally bad things.

[quasi summit]

oh

i just wanted to upload a baldi avatar :(

[faint skiff]

Also to ensure that people are at least slightly active before being able to use server space to store avatars.

Baldi is already in game and public

[quasi summit]

wait really

[broken plover]

It shouldnt affect new people really, because you first get to know the game, then see what possibilites there are to make a custom avatar and when you finally start making one you're already a new user

[slow halo]

What's Baldi?

[faint skiff]

Yes. I'm assuming you found him on VRCM. You can guarantee that everything on that site is already in game, probably in multiple different places.

[quasi summit]

oh

i tried going to a place to get baldi but it wouldn't let me pick him

[faint skiff]

Just have a look around some avatar worlds. Probably worth starting with Rum Ham's avatar world

[quasi summit]

ok

[broken plover]

Sadly I cant use avatar worlds without waiting literally half an hour for every avatar and preview picture to load because of my internet :/

[quasi summit]

:(

[broken plover]

I wish it was possible to optimize VRC for slower internet connections, but the only way is to make worlds and avatars smaller and that means less content. I dont want that

[desert stratus]

i dont think worlds or avatars need to be particulalry large since actual .fbx models are surprisingly light and you can compress textures in unity to a ridiculous amount

[quasi summit]

yeah ok

[broken plover]

my avatar is about 20mb big... (after I exported it from blender by "optimizing" it)

[desert stratus]

then again ive never worked on a world before, but if you already keep your stuff to an alright standard (like say 69k tris every avatar) i think the big space killer is audio amd video

jegus 0~0

[broken plover]

no wait, that was this one meme avatar. my optimized avatar is 6mb

[desert stratus]

that sounds more like it

[faint skiff]

Rum's avatar world should be tiny. The world itself consists of almost nothing and the avatar pedestals are just the small profile picture images.

[quasi summit]

i tried looking and i couldn't find the baldi avatar

[faint skiff]

@quasi summit Try this - vrchat://launch?ref=vrchat.com&id=wrld_27e5c733-1531-4a8d-842f-94a8839206de:1567~invite-plus

[broken plover]

my friends sometimes go to avatar worlds, to get ideas for custom avatars. I dont really want to join them then, because they use an avatar and then it loads 5-10 minutes for me but by that time they already switched to the next one. And that happens over and over unitl I got 30mins worth of avatars to download...

[faint skiff]

@slow halo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVWOcEptfO8

[quasi summit]

ok

[faint skiff]

It's one of those weird "stream of consciousness" games made by a single person.

I have to admin, the "get out while you still can" bit makes me laugh.

[slow halo]

I see

Ech, making me click on a Markiplier video...

[quasi summit]

yeah hold on

uh

its the one where i cant select the baldi avatar

[faint skiff]

So when you click the pedestal, nothing happens?

[quasi summit]

yes

nothing happens

:(

[faint skiff]

Weird. I'm not at home to test right now unfortunately.

[quasi summit]

oh

ok

[faint skiff]

But yeah, it should be this one AFAIK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLZv2Qw_lpE

[quasi summit]

what

is it quest only?

what

i tried uploading a link to the baldi avatar

[faint skiff]

I doubt it's Quest only, Quest doesn't allow for audio and that guy was streaming with a green-screen.

[silk crag]

why does the sdk not let me upload avatars with chairs? like is there a reason?

nvm

[tacit crow]

Hm

wehehehehehe

[lyric sphinx]

Hey guys

[vocal shard]

Hello

[worn ibex]

Hi

[lyric sphinx]

What's new?

[worn ibex]

\ =^=/

I'm new, does that count?

[lyric sphinx]

sure

you're new to vr chat?

[worn ibex]

Yes, I've started to play it recently and out of curiousity I gave in to the Discord promotion

[lyric sphinx]

the discord is actually pretty good

[worn ibex]

So far it's peaceful; I like it =v=b

[lyric sphinx]

it is good, i havent met anyone who makes it feel like a burrden for asking a question

[worn ibex]

A burden??
Can you add an example?

[vocal shard]

Welcome to the server

[worn ibex]

Hello! ovo/

[vocal shard]

[faint skiff]

ovo? You're not Qhala... hmmmmmm

[worn ibex]

Nice to meet you, I'm Nik
I can be called whatever similar =v=b

[faint skiff]

Dost thou have beakage?

[worn ibex]

beakage??

[broken plover]

(a beak)

[worn ibex]

e-eh;; nno -v-;;???

[lyric sphinx]

no need for an eexample but i've been plenty of places wheee people try to make itt out as i'm lazyfor asking questions

[worn ibex]

oh ovo! okay

[faint skiff]

I thought "ovo" was the bird emote, because the o's are eyes the the v is supposed to be the beak.

[lyric sphinx]

lol

[shy compass]

does any one know how to fix worlds not downloading

[worn ibex]

I just use it cause people felt uncomfortable when I use owo
I like being 'somewhat' expressing when I can on text -v-;;

[vocal shard]

[faint skiff]

Could use uwu instead, haha.

[snow wadi]

[worn ibex]

tru-

[vocal shard]

[snow wadi]

I need to get off this bed ._.

[indigo fern]

spread your wings and fly away

[lyric sphinx]

why even use uwu though,it's kind of cringe

[faint skiff]

w = fox/dog nose, v = bird nose. Not sure what I'd use for a Dragon nose...

[vocal shard]

[lyric sphinx]

deez nuts

hahahaha, got em!

[vocal shard]

Let's maybe bring this channel back to topic. ^^

[lyric sphinx]

okay, so then does anyone know where i can find beatles avatars?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443636187576532994/631686185470918657/5c5n7je1d0a01.png

they exist

someone eles said that there are yellow submarine avatars he saw

[faint skiff]

@lyric sphinx Doesn't look like they're in a public world. This guy's the author though so I'd just ask him - https://www.reddit.com/user/SpoonTheBlueDude

[lyric sphinx]

that's a good idea

[shrewd jasper]

yo, i don't wanna annoy anyone but does SOMEONE have the skipper zooming in avatar?

i need it really bad rn xD

[meager solstice]

Nah sounds malicious

[snow wadi]

^

Was about to say, you read my mind.

[lyric sphinx]

LOL

[languid beacon]

I always saw the v in ovo to be angry owl eyebrows, not a beak

[pseudo basalt]

Looks nothing like angry eyebrows

òwó

On the other hand

[indigo fern]

ŌwŌ

[kind condor]

oWo

[stiff sparrow]

øwœ

[kind condor]

._.

[topaz patrol]

quick question, how do i attach a status to my account or discord to my account? on vrchat website i see status's but no way to ad them,

[slate verge]

you change your vrc status in-game

to display that you are playing vrc, you go into discord settings > game activity and add vrc if its not shown

[topaz patrol]

thx bro

[upbeat dew]

I'm sort of new to VRC, will there be any improvements to the VRC Desktop client?

[vocal shard]

Most likely

[misty delta]

hey my friend got an email that they can already publish models and worlds, but they only have 63 minutes of gameplay. i have 4 hours, but i cant publish any of my models yet. im just curious if theres something i can do to help me gain the ability to publish?

[broken plover]

its not time based

[misty delta]

ah

[vocal shard]

Just go around meet people and just play the game tbh

[misty delta]

ok

[vocal shard]

We don't know exactly how it works, but it seems to be more based on activity than time. So exploring and meeting new people will probably get you there faster than being in a private instance with just a couple people

[indigo fern]

I prefer that answer than the subjectively annoying copy pasta

[faint skiff]

Stuff * Time = Rank

[upbeat dew]

Yeah, I got New User, but I only have 6 hours in the game on my steam account, I don't think I'd even used my VRC account until today

[frosty veldt]

You can merge the accounts btw, which you should if you havent

[vocal shard]

i was curious how many got the rift s here for VRChat
over the quest
im not sure what to get >-<
most of all i want the quest but it's really annoying i won't be able to see non quest skins and non quest worlds

[faint skiff]

Rift S is the better choice for PCVR. Unless you intend to be away from your PC a lot, the Quest has no real benefits.

[vocal shard]

yea but the hand tracking in 2020 sounds amazing

[faint skiff]

I'm guessing you didn't look into it much

Hand tracking is useless in 99% of scenarios which is why it never caught on in the first place also It'll only work in a tiny area infront of the headset (as it has to be seen by all 4 cameras).

[vocal shard]

hmm i see

[faint skiff]

Hand tracking existed (in a more accurate form) back with the Leap Motion, but people quickly realise that having just your hands and nothing else is actually incredibly limiting.

[frozen garden]

yeah having your hands makes locomotion almost impossible

[lunar shell]

Once you look at the limitations, it won't be very exciting.

[frozen garden]

its more for non-gamers who arent used to controllers to use in a small environment

its not gonna have any real effect on gaming

[faint skiff]

It's not nice not having anything in your hands and yeah, lack of any way to locomote, etc.

[umbral reef]

Too bad its on a headset with almost only games (the quest)

[vocal shard]

im going for the rift s then :3 thanks for helping me out :3

The quest hand tracking has latency and only works when all 4 cameras can see your hands anyway

[umbral reef]

Latency as 1ms or more to the 10ms

or the neat old 50ms

[muted bronze]

hello

[vocal shard]

Enough that it's a noticable disconnect from immersion some say.

[muted bronze]

I thought I won't be able to chat here because I have to use phone to approve?

[vocal shard]

You have the vrchatter role, so that overrides the phone verification

[umbral reef]

lmao thats bad then

[muted bronze]

some mod must've gave it to me

[vocal shard]

Yeah everyone has to get approved. The phone verification is kind of redundant. Lol

[muted bronze]

I just dont want to use it, because I've lost access to phone with all my accounts that had to be verified to access

so no more phone.

[vocal shard]

[umbral reef]

This bot

[vocal shard]

Yeah

[muted bronze]

what do I need to read?

[umbral reef]

ya yeet goes the bot

[vocal shard]

[misty delta]

what does account merging do, exactly?

[potent cedar]

is classical art (marble sculptures etc) subject to nsfw rules?

because it certainly is safe for work in the literal sense

[vocal shard]

It transfers your stats and friends from a steam account and adds them to a vrchat account.

[misty delta]

k thx

[umbral reef]

@potent cedar Almost sure it would be subjected to the rules. But only way to be sure is to email [e-mail] about this though

[vocal shard]

• you get to choose a new username without numbers after

[alpine drum]

OMG

why

[jagged furnace]

Hi, guys. Can you help me? I am looking for this character. I am so desperate. People who know this character help me. I will reward you.
I want you to watch Avatar Chatting

[grave spoke]

so I haven't played vrchat for like a year and came back to it again. I noticed that everything takes a while to start downloading. like if I join a world it takes a while for avatars to start downloading or if I go to avatars menu it takes a minute for anything to appear

[remote verge]

@grave spoke I am having the same issue as well

I've been playing for a year now and this never happened to me before

it is like I am stuck in loading for going from chatroom to another

[grave spoke]

so it's not an issue with my side then 🤔

[remote verge]

Yea I thought it had to do with my connection but I am connecting fine from my phone and on Steam

[grave spoke]

hmm my girlfriend just got vrchat and it works perfectly fine for her. so it is an issue on my side. I'll try reinstalling the game competely to see if that helps

[remote verge]

I tried to log in as well through steam but still nothing.

there were moments where it brought me to a place and it told me that "Vr chat is have some issues" or something like that

[vocal shard]

Hello, could someone help me find a avatar please? I have a picture of it it's a avatar I used to use and I would like to find it again

[queen mango]

What's it look like, could you DM me what the avatar looks like?

[vocal shard]

Yes I can do that thank you 😁

[slow halo]

Imagine being elitist about vrchat

It's a free to play game where men pretend to be anime waifus. The majority of the game play is standing around in a loose circle and having inane conversations like it's highschool all over again

There is nothing to be elitist about

[rigid crescent]

lol there's no such thing

What @rocky blaze is saying i mean

[indigo fern]

I mean, I don't doubt there's a silly group out there that thinks that way

[rigid crescent]

Unless of course you've got proof.

But seeing as there's kinetic members that aren't going to be in the rewind because they don't meet the requirements, I'm pretty sure you're just talking out your ass

in b4 "I mean my friend said..." or "I just heard..."

ok?

It's a stream team. Again, any proof of your claim or is it just bs you heard/made up

I mean he's still a person? I don't think he streams but i also don't see how that even matters.

Ah, so you "Heard from a friend"

so basically there's no proof

hearing, sorry. So again, no proof?

What you PROBABLY heard was that the Rewind has certain requirements that have to be met to be included in it.

Complaining is fine, don't sprea lies and misinformation though

I mean it is.

I'm looking at the requirements right now for Youtube Rewind

and none of them include any statement by Kinetic

Sorry, VRC Rewind

Yeah, looking at the VRC requirements right now and none include a statement by Kinetic

the rewind does have certain requirements for streamers and youtubers that don't apply to prominent mapmakers and avatar makers

Unwritten...I mean the requirements do include a following for Streamers and Youtubers...

It's written lol

Current Requirements: Youtuber's need 10,000 Subscribers Twitch Streamers need 2,000 Followers Map Makers/Avatar Creators/Artist/Musicians need to show Prominent Work Communities are short and spread, please contact Neko directly.

[thick blaze]

its bullshit

thats what it is. its not about the community at that point its about clout

[rigid crescent]

I mean it really isn't. It makes sense you need to be at least relatively known to be in the rewind if it's as a streamer or a youtuber

You don't need a following to be incldued as an avatar or world creator?

Except you ARE allowed to be in it without a following

Again, world and avatar creators

[thick blaze]

"prominent work"

[rigid crescent]

Yes? There's world creators with "prominent work" that don't have a large following the way streamers and youtubers do?

I streamed VRC like 3 times or something, and I've got a private avatar world i got tired of working on. Why should I be in the rewind? lol

[indigo fern]

I doubt world creators wanna be in it anyway, what's lex gonna do, lay there lmao

[thick blaze]

yet when i asked the person who's running the whole thing about my friend who made over 100+ of the 0turan models he responded with "who???"

[rigid crescent]

Yeah, who? lol

[thick blaze]

he doesn't know anything about the community. if you're going to do something for the community you should know about the community.

[rigid crescent]

the last one had plenty of community members that do world and avatar stuff tho

Him not knowing one dude who made some eromanga sensei mmd kitbashes doesn't equal him not knowing about the community lol

Oh, they belittled them? How? By not knowing who they were?

Seems like a stretch

Now you're REALLY stretching, come on now

There's nothing wrong with asking who someone is in an informal matter lol

I mean I care about people spreading misinformation and being disingenuous yeah

there's enough of that going around, but I guess it's fine because you'll just disappear and never come back and it'll all be good lol 👌

I didn't contradict myself, I said from the start there's requirements as well. What was untrue is the fact you said a Kinetic member stated you "Are not allowed to play or be a part of vrchat" if you don't have a certain following

unless of course there's proof

So just to clarify, a Kinetic Stream Team member said "If you don't have X following you aren't allowed to play or be a part of vrchat"?

I just wanna make sure we're on the same page

So this is....what? Third hand information? Seems like a game of telephone. You heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from the person running it that a Kinetic Stream Team Member said that people shouldn't "be allowed to play or be a part of vrchat unless they have a certain following"?

Oh so two degrees my mistake

I guess you could just @vague meteor assuming he's the one still working on it like last year

He'd probably tell you if it's true or not

[vague meteor]

Sup?

[rigid crescent]

Dunno, someone is saying you said that only people with a following are allowed to play or be a part of vrchat

[vague meteor]

Oh I did did I?

[rigid crescent]

I dunno man I've only met you around friends but that seems out of character

@rocky blaze i dunno, it seems fair to hear both sides of the story is all, don't you think?

Some things tend to get lost in a game of telephone, so hearing it from the source would clear things up

Oh right you said Tess said it didn't you

So Elen said that Tess said that Neko said that Kinetic said that only people with a following should get to play/be a part of VRChat. That's the gist of what I understand. It's kind of just a meme at this point but fun nonetheless

[vague meteor]

Alright I read and caught up on the situation

@rigid crescent Thanks for being logical and the smart about things

[rigid crescent]

Yeah it usually makes people mad, so it's more fun that way 👌

[vague meteor]

Also @rocky blaze Elen you said, "tbh i dont really care at this point i have better things to be doing instead of arguing about something pointless that doesn't affect me nor am i the one that said this in the first place" but you said this in the first place?

4:54 PM] elen: so apparently there is a community in vrchat called "team kinetic" that are saying if you dont have a certain following on vrchat you are not allowed to play or be part of vrchat or the vrchat rewind video

As for @thick blaze I'm ashamed that you went to the nearest person and started making assumptions based on the word "Who" I'll love to have you on the Rewind, but it breaks my heart that you're making such strides to bad mouth me.

[rigid crescent]

So wait, the whole thing was a misunderstanding!?

Well dang what are the odds to that. Certainly not something I'd be against but....

[indigo fern]

mic gets to the bottom of things

truly an insider

[slow halo]

What the hell is even going on

[indigo fern]

just smile and nod

[vocal shard]

😃

[vague meteor]

🍕

[rigid crescent]

whoa the insider meme paid off

[slow halo]

I think I'm just going to avoid everyone who was involved in the above nonsense as much as I can. Ain't nobody got time for that kind of drama

[rigid crescent]

it'll likely never come up again, just your usual passerby situation where someone comes in, spergs out, gets called out for it, and is never heard from again

[heady kiln]

[rigid crescent]

holy hell who drew that profile pic

link pls?

[heady kiln]

what? mine?

[rigid crescent]

yes

[heady kiln]

just a moment

[rigid crescent]

if they take comms i gotta add them to my mental list of people to give money to 🤤

[heady kiln]

no comms right now

https://twitter.com/NotPepiot

[rigid crescent]

the waiting game, im used to that ty

[analog schooner]

One thing I'm curious about the VRdoom world

Is there a Military Base level? (E1M9)

[faint skiff]

That should be the last level I believe, as the shareware is the first 9 levels of the full game (unless they changed them around).

[flat wigeon]

listen, there could easily be several hundred people who want to be featured in the VRChat rewind video if they were given the chance

Nekobueno is ONE man handling the entire production himself, there has to be SOME cutoff for the people being let into the project

[rigid crescent]

I mean, there's always the option of people making their own Rewind. Not as if it's official and only one is allowed anyway. People did it with the Official youtube one when they weren't happy with it. Oh, wait. That's work, people only want to complain and hope they get their way

[indigo fern]

exactly, just like this game

if you wanna complain so much make your own game

[thin sandal]

[rigid crescent]

I mean there's valid complaints about this game, extremely valid ones. Not exactly a fair comparison, but I guess I get what you mean

I mean there's probably valid complaints about the rewind, nothing is perfect, but "My friend that I really like can't get in" isn't really a good one lol

[indigo fern]

i was just make the "just make your own game 4head" joke

thats usually what everyone says when theyre tired of reading the same complaints

[rigid crescent]

we should just sew our own clothes and craft our own shoes and grow and cook our own food so i never have to hear anyone complain about something stupid again. that's the perfect world for me

[desert stratus]

honestly tho?

[rigid crescent]

minus the work it requires

[desert stratus]

the least valid complaint i see a lot of the time goes something along the lines of "i miss the old vrc" or "vrc would be so much better without this outgroup" or "something something why arent people nice"

[indigo fern]

i mean, we could be making our own english version of vket and getting that sponsor money
but here we are, typing away

[desert stratus]

its a bit like complining about why your town doesnt think like you or the entire world for that matter; vrc can never have a specific kind of community because it is not a game or topic that people revolve around, it is a platform for social interaction, much like how a library or park or a fucking bench serves the same purpose

[indigo fern]

i mean, we get random complaints about performance issues on a toaster, world wont load fuck this, social menu isnt updating, memory leaks, video player blah

oh, servers being unstable cant log in ree

and then end it all with, fix your game

[desert stratus]

if youre gonna complain about the "community" not being to youre liking then youre looking at it from an unrealistic perspective; you build that community, or find it, or surround yourself in it much like you would in real life

[indigo fern]

from the sounds of it, a lot of people have horrible luck/rng

[rigid crescent]

That's what I always try and tell people. You can, within reason ,do anything any other community member can do. it may take more work, but it's not like it's a massive undertaking.

[desert stratus]

there's nothing wrong with the "community" at this point because the idea of the entire vrc community (population is a more accurate word) being united by any common characteristic more than just the fact that everyone plays vrc disappeared as soon as the meme explosion happened

[indigo fern]

im not even sure how they supposedly run into so many bad lobbies honestly

[rigid crescent]

Some people's opinions of "good" lobbies are also extremely exaggerated, not to mention there are people who flat out lie

I don't spend a majority of my time in publics, but the time I do spend is never so volatile that I'd say the state of publics in VRC is completely unplayable as they make it

[indigo fern]

i mainly spend my time in publics, its never bad, at the worst its kinda boring and i just move to the next one

[desert stratus]

for me a lobby is good if i can make it good. i try to be very vocal in public lobbies not just for myself but forthe other 7 lurkers who are shy but want to open up. its hard most days tho, and thaats on me more than anyone else

if i really wantd to put on the clown make up id say that my only real complaint with public lobbies is that thet could use more loud or open people. and no, loud doesnt mean run up to people and scream memes for your stream.

[modest mauve]

I personally enjoy going to public worlds, and the majority of them are fun and i make a lot of cool friends. Yes, you have a higher chance of getting crashed or running into someone doing something inappropriate, but that's just the internet. Plus it doesn't always happen frequently either.

[indigo fern]

yea, i mean i can just go up to the mirror, ask whats goin on and usually anyone with a mic goes ahead and fills me in on the convo

[modest mauve]

yeah its super cool

i love that i can literally walk up to anyone in a convo and be like hey whats up and immediatley be able to join

[indigo fern]

thats what i mean whenever i say literally just talk

[modest mauve]

plus i meet a lot of ppl who are new to vrc in publics, its so much fun to talk to them and show them around

[indigo fern]

people arent gonna bite half the time

[modest mauve]

yeah hahahah

[desert stratus]

i like you're wording there because you're free of the interesting phenomenon where a lot of vrc peeps focus too much on the concepts of "ingroups" and "outgroups" in general when playing this game. there's nothing wrong with that, of course, but there is a problem when you start trying to apply it to reality rather than use it as an abstraction

[modest mauve]

a lot of people dont like pubs but they have a special place in my heart hahha. they're so, classic vrchat lol

[indigo fern]

and you can easily tell who isnt interested if its like 5 boys fighting for a single girls attention or something similar

even them, you can have a little fun with

[desert stratus]

im one of those people who goes into public more often with a friend to talk to them, but its more out of mild social anxiety than anything; it makes it a lot easier for me to greet people and get then in on a convo or join a diff one if a buddy is with me on most days

above all else i love getting new people to open up, followed by getting them to feel welcome

[indigo fern]

its either way for me, the main friend i play with likes to troll a lot so i joke around with him, alone i can meet pretty dope people

[rigid crescent]

I've got pretty low tolerance for assholes in public, and in general, and it's EXTREMELY easy to just block/mute people

[modest mauve]

thats totally fair! thats what i love about this game, you dont have to go into a public lobby with strangers if you dont want to. if you just want to go to a friends world and invite some new people to that and introduce them to everyone, you can do that too!

yeah im not shy with just blocking people lol.

[desert stratus]

and yeah. the rare egirl 4d tug-o-war is fun to watch sometimes. not for too long tho

[rigid crescent]

If there's someone who's jsut 100% intolerable, like I can tel lt hey're just there to cause trouble, a quick block/mute/hide will make sure i literally never see them ever again

[desert stratus]

dude all of my world playlists have lists of fun shit for me to throw visitors into. ykno, like "zoo" and og sleepy time worlds

mostly genuinely fun worlds tho

[rigid crescent]

Publics just have a bad stigma that sadly got spread around. If more decent people populated them, there'd be more decent people in them. Instead people hide because their crappy MMD kitbash might get "stolen" or they might have to block a few people or be mildly inconvenience. From what I can tell they're really not as bad as anyone I hear talk about them make them seem to be

[desert stratus]

this game is an incredible gift that a lot of people dont give enough credit to, even if its kinda loopy from base layer to top

publics are honestly what you make them out to be

not even kidding, you can bet on 9 / 10 people being in a given public world wanting to just meet new people

[rigid crescent]

most people I hear with the "ew publics" sentiment haven't even been in more than one or two in months either

[desert stratus]

that 10th person usually sets the tone, becayse thats the person who has the lowest / none anxiety and gets the ball rolling

[indigo fern]

avatar yoinking isnt even common anymore lmao

the worst thing in them now is eboys

[modest mauve]

yeah some people overexagerate, but also some times they just had some bad experiences. I know as a streamer I've been targeted a lot in publics, and people will follow me through publics and crash me. I've been crashed over 7 times in a 30 minute period. That was a pretty bad experience tho, but it doesnt stop me from dstill going into publics, and most of the time my experiences arnet like that. But some ppl would just swear off publics from that experience

[desert stratus]

i have a secret government agenda every time i go into a public world if im feeling confident; first, i become that 10th person, then, i turn as many people as i can in that world to the 10th person in any future worlds they go to. it just makes me feel good

[indigo fern]

and even they are kinda fun to talk with before the glorious goddess of an egirl shows up
which is anyone that sounds remotely female

[rigid crescent]

Avatar yoinking, unless you have a truly custom model, should be the least of your worries anyway. Stolen parts stolen by someone else to make another stolen model.

Yeah, as a streamer or anyone "well known" enough you'll have a different experience, that's just a fact. Most people aren't streamers and even ones that are aren't big enough to really have any issues with being targeted unless some rando just happens to be looking through twitch for someone to bug

[desert stratus]

the most you have to be worried about when going into public worlds is yourself if ur like me. sometimes youre not chad enough to speak up. if you are, your next valid concern is genuine assholes which are pretty rare (and surprisingly more common in f+ worlds)

[modest mauve]

^^^exactly. what ive found a lot of times is that streamers will have those experiences, then talk about them and their viewers will think it'll be the same experience for them. That's why i like to show ppl that for the most part, its completely okay and you can have a ton of fun.

[rigid crescent]

I just jump into people's conversations uninvited, they're usually cool with it tho lol

[modest mauve]

ive gotten dragged into so many crazy adventures from pubs

yesss thats so fun to do mic!

[desert stratus]

i 100% appreciate random convo invasion

[modest mauve]

same lol

[lofty mortar]

hey:)

[modest mauve]

its fun to have more ppl to talk to!

[desert stratus]

its like...the new protagonist appears

[modest mauve]

hey @lofty mortar!

[lofty mortar]

hey, whats up. literally tried playing vrchat and its so laggy on my laptop so annoying

[desert stratus]

mann i really shouldve made time for vrc today.

[modest mauve]

oh noo! have you tried turning saftey settings on? ive found turing off dynamic bones, as well as just making it so you can only see everyones avatars and voices and nothing else helps a lot

turning off nameplates can help too!

[vocal shard]

When you start the game, hold Shift to open the settings window, and set it to desktop low. The default setting is high

[lofty mortar]

lol, and uhm nah, i uninstalled it but am conemplating get it tmr.

[modest mauve]

Oooo i forgot about that jamie ty!

[lofty mortar]

oh okay

[rigid crescent]

What does that even do? I did it a year ago and never really looked into it lol

[modest mauve]

im thinking of getting in vr in a bit actually~

[vocal shard]

The main thing is is lowers the anti-aliasing, shadows, and draw distance.

[desert stratus]

i should make bad decisions and just get in vr rn

[exotic void]

Lowh u smell

[lofty mortar]

fortnite is so toxic. tried to join squads/ playgrounds and these little kids are swearing and complainging about dying. these parents need to listen to their kids.

[desert stratus]

[lofty mortar]

[lofty mortar]

[modest mauve]

woah wait

[exotic void]

sometimes its better just to play VRC and chill

[indigo fern]

its always better

[modest mauve]

that i agree with

[desert stratus]

isnt that the best thing to do?

[indigo fern]

vrc and chill with the homos homies

[exotic void]

haha true sometimes i do feel like entertaining but a year straight wore me out

[vocal shard]

Without the stress of trying to have content to stream/record, yeah I agree

[desert stratus]

boot up vrc, go to a laggy aesthetic comfy world, and then try to render in cycles on a 1060 and i5 6400?

[modest mauve]

making content is very fun in vrchat tho

you should try it again force

heh

[exotic void]

can i pay u to be me instead?

[modest mauve]

yeah sure im $100 an hour bbyyyy

[indigo fern]

ew

[exotic void]

ok

[desert stratus]

i dont even have to worry about the stress of making video content cuz im pretty sure trying to record on it at all is gonna make it burn out

[modest mauve]

oh hell yeah

[exotic void]

100 Canadian dollars every 3 hours

[rigid crescent]

i have to worry about the stress of putting on my trackers to lay down in my bed

[indigo fern]

whats that worth? like a big mac or something?

[exotic void]

shhh

[desert stratus]

thats the one thing that makes me wonder about sleeping with fbt

[vocal shard]

[exotic void]

[desert stratus]

[modest mauve]

[vocal shard]

But our money smells like maple syrup. So it's worth it.

[indigo fern]

i use a blanket, its fine for me since i dont move while i sleep

[modest mauve]

I like syrup! its a deal force!

[desert stratus]

the only thing i know about canadian money is that quest is 400usd and 500cad

[rigid crescent]

i dont normally need blankets, theyre more of a comfort thing for me not a necessity

[vocal shard]

*550

[rigid crescent]

unless its just crazy cold

[exotic void]

u all saw it she agreed

[desert stratus]

[high junco]

i climbed the rocks

[vocal shard]

Is this game being ddosed again?

[rigid crescent]

with 7k people on id sayno

[snow wadi]

@vocal shard Please stop posting the same message in multiple channels, incase you haven't already do have a gander at the #rules .

[vocal shard]

rofl

[jade wharf]

hi

[tacit crow]

Ei

[wind totem]

anyone in vr chat?

lets meet up?

[tacit crow]

No

[fluid bloom]

wow

@wind totem what were you so hyped about?

[wind totem]

as in like this is the first time im playing vr chat its freaking awesome

[fluid bloom]

Oh nice

Welcome :D
Hope you enjoy your stay
if you have any questions feel free to dm me or ask in the server 👍

[wind totem]

sure no problem dude

[rotund wren]

[slow halo]

Til both Illy and Lowhren, who I only know from Drumsy's videos, hang out in this discord sometimes

[faint skiff]

I've never heard of any of those three people... are they "YouTube famous"?

[slow halo]

I know them from YouTube, yeah

To sum them up badly: Drumsy is pretty funny, Lowhren is good at dancing, and Illy just seems lovely

[faint skiff]

I see

[slow halo]

Woo finally! Prescription lenses ordered

You'd think it wouldn't be that difficult to get my prescription from my optometrist. Been almost two weeks I've been trying to get it

[fluid bloom]

Nice
about drumsy tho
why does he turn everything into a documentary?
and its all staged too
i dont watch him

[floral bluff]

hey guys, quick question. Got a new friend in VRchat, how can I get them to be able to accept avatars? is there an account lock based on time or something?

[fluid bloom]

What do you mean exactly?

Accept avatars?

[floral bluff]

she is new but cant use any private room avi's

[hollow sluice]

@fluid bloom thats just his thing. Hes a reporter

[fluid bloom]

Like get them by cloning/clicking the avatar buttons or upload them to her acc

[hollow sluice]

@floral bluff unless youre talking about uploading theres no such thing

[slow halo]

I prefer the fake reporting style funnies to the "lol so randum" videos of most other vrchat YouTubers

[fluid bloom]

To each their own ig

[floral bluff]

the error message she gets is "for security reasons you're not allowed to select avatars in private worlds or upload content, please continue to enjoy VR chat and we'll message you when you have been unlocked"

[hollow sluice]

I dont really watch any vrc youtubers because you get the same experience playing the game yourself

[fluid bloom]

👀
never heard of that before

not that speific message atleast
@floral bluff what rank is she

[floral bluff]

she is brand new

[hollow sluice]

Maybe its a country specific thing or a New feature in the game

[fluid bloom]

Then its probably that
She needs atleast new user

[hollow sluice]

I wouldnt mind visitors not beimg able to clone Cancer avatars

[floral bluff]

yea we are in the USA, was just wondering if it was a time based thing

but thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it

[snow wadi]

That message means she needs to play more. So basically visit worlds, chat to people, make friends etc. When the time comes she will get a message ingame and an email that she is now permitted to upload custom content.

[faint skiff]

I thought someone answered that question ages ago but maybe that was someone else asking the same question much earlier. Confusing.

But yeah, visitors (white nameplates) can't upload avatars or worlds.

[jade wharf]

yo

[wind totem]

Yo

[lyric sphinx]

Welp boys, I need to start making vr chat friends

[pure hemlock]

Good luck

[errant hare]

Good luck man

[lyric sphinx]

Lol

No one wants to be my friend?

[silent whale]

[lyric sphinx]

I've noticed that alot of new players have been wanting to play vr chat lately

[pure hemlock]

I don't friend cyborg ninjas

[lyric sphinx]

I'm not a cyborg ninja, I'm cowboy paul

[wind totem]

anyone free to meet up in vr chat?

[empty flint]

hmm...

to be honest I doubt I'd have the motivation to play VRChat right now

I feel a cold coming on...

and I dont think I want to sound like Im dying if Im talking to someone on VRChat ^^'

[faint skiff]

Just use a zombie avatar

[wind totem]

playing vr chat for the first time

and feel so left out ;-;

[lyric sphinx]

anyone wanna play cards against humanity in vr chat?

[empty flint]

lol

what a bazooka, Osha? >:]

[wind totem]

@lyric sphinx never try that before but i will give it a shot

[empty flint]

and do it whilst singing 'All By Myself' by Celine Dion

gotta do it with style...

[glad bolt]

Oh snap, I can change my VRC name now. ... idk what I wanna change it to. DX

[faint skiff]

Why change it?

[snow wadi]

^

[faint skiff]

@snow wadi Now that I'm getting into VRC earlier, I may actually see you again at some point. You always log off shortly before I come online (back when you were on anyway).

[snow wadi]

Yeah the time you come on is like freaking late my time. D:

[glad bolt]

Because I hate the name I have now?

It's literally the name I have here.

[desert stratus]

well, vampirequeenaly, you can change it again in 3 months

[glad bolt]

Doesn't define me anymore because I don't stream.

[vocal shard]

I'll be on during the weekend. Normal hours finally

[desert stratus]

or was it 1? Idk

[glad bolt]

No, I have the ability to change it now

[snow wadi]

90 days.

[glad bolt]

I didn't just change it to this.

[desert stratus]

oh lol i cant read english

[glad bolt]

Ugh, I'm gonna have to throw darts at some adjectives until something looks right.

[desert stratus]

uhh chaange it to something that resonates with you

[glad bolt]

It's fine. English is a hard language.

[knotty compass]

did lobbies just disappear for anyone else?

[glad bolt]

That's the problem I'm having, I don't know what works for me. Like, I'm smol and I draw a lot, but that's about it.

[snow wadi]

SmolScribbles o/

[glad bolt]

Cute, I'll add that to top three choices.

[snow wadi]

[lyric sphinx]

Well if anyone wants to play cards against humanity we got a world up

[wind totem]

your avatar is so funnt XD

[glad bolt]

Mm, I like the alliteration from the first one.

[faint skiff]

ScribblyDibbly

[glad bolt]

Ehhhhh

[wind totem]

funny XD

[snow wadi]

Really env? lmao

[glad bolt]

That's going in the "Nope" pile.

[wind totem]

...

[glad bolt]

?

[slim temple]

3.8k vrchat viewers on twitch right now?

anybody know what's going on?

[devout island]

who is the one streaming

the top streamer there's always someone who brings it up in viewers

who is slike

[slim temple]

I looked into it, some esports pro? I don't think he usually plays vrchat

[devout island]

that explains it most of the time its always some guy who wanted to play randomly and never joins the game again

[faint skiff]

"What up, it's ya boi, skinny penis"

immediately change lobbies

[errant hare]

[faint skiff]

I'm not sure I've had a single positive streamer interaction, so it'll be curious to see what that guy's up to.

[upbeat dew]

Does VRChat take bug reports for Linux users? My client keeps freezing up after a few minutes on my laptop.

It's like lag spikes that just get worse and worse until it locks up completely

Sorry wrong channel.

[slim temple]

I've had many extremely positive interactions. It really depends on the person.

[glad bolt]

Honestly, if a streamer can't communicate well, especially to new viewers, they're doing something wrong.

[faint skiff]

I was speaking more from the perspective of someone in the place they decide to turn up in, not as a viewer

More, an unwilling participant

[glad bolt]

Hm

[faint skiff]

Loud, obnoxious, have to be the centre of attention, normally trying far too hard. It's cringe inducing to the point where your face turns inside out. The disruption is normally not to anyone's amusement. But yeah, I'm sure there are good ones out there, I've just never seen them.

[devout island]

im pretty sure you've seen jameskii right

[faint skiff]

Nope

Keep in mind I've never watched any VRChat YouTubers/Twitch streamers either, I'm referring to in-game interactions with people.

[slim temple]

Cece, j4key and lohwren are sweethearts, actually, everyone at team kinetic is, and basically anti-toxic.

Meathamsky is just genuinely a goofball and legitimately funny, but also very kind

Odomfire is too pure for this world

[broken plover]

and lolathon is a clown

[slim temple]

quite literally, yes, and that works. He's also genuinely anti-toxic and just wants to make people laugh. He also showcases others that either show him up or get him back on a scare.

they're fun to be around

[vocal shard]

I find that most streamers that have a good following are down to earth and nice. While ones who are smaller and trying desperately to get views can be hard to be around

[desert stratus]

@glad bolt just go with like aly or something, it just needs to feel right to you above all else

or you can also rip me off like my friends did and do [celestial / space thingy] + [fruit or some food i guess]

[slate verge]

@vocal shard jamie are you a streamer in vrc?

[steep turret]

jamie does some videos from time to time im pretty sure. no clue about the streaming thing tho

[slate verge]

yeah

[glad bolt]

Talked to hubby (also just Aly is too short), did a couple's name.

[hallow umbra]

so i had a problem and i fixed it by making a new project in unity but now when i publish my avatar it doesn't show up in my avatar list

[slate verge]

make sure you have avatar descriptor

[hallow umbra]

it has it

[slate verge]

it should say that you are missing something

[tacit crow]

Hm

[hallow umbra]

there arent any errors it just doesnt show up in the ingame avatar list

[slate verge]

have you tried restarting vrc?

[hallow umbra]

this has been happening for days

yes i have

and my pc aswell

[slate verge]

have you made sure its uploaded to your account? cuz then you'll see your own list

[hallow umbra]

yes

it says its uploaded

[slate verge]

double check on the uploads content and see if its in there, if it is then that just means the game is not seeing it.

on unity

[tacit crow]

[hallow umbra]

its there

[glad bolt]

I think I broke VRC for myself. Went to my home world and clicked on myself in the instance and noticed that "Warn" and "Kick" weren't disabled and I thought I'd be cheeky and try to kick myself and shrugged it off like it wouldn't kick me. It did and I got launched in a world loop. Couldn't even go to the default home, omg.

[slate verge]

then its just the game

[hallow umbra]

well the project that worked fine broke thats why i made a new one

[glad bolt]

I'm gonna try to get back in there in an hour, lol.

[slate verge]

could always send in a ticket to confirm whats going on

[hallow umbra]

the problem was "clear cache and playerprefs"

that was the only option there was no control panel

[devout island]

vrchat the only game where you can kick yourself out

[hallow umbra]

the avatars show up on the website btw

just not ingame

[slate verge]

might want to send in a ticket then cuz thats not supposed to happen

[hallow umbra]

how?

never had to do it

[slate verge]

its in here #vrchat-support instructions are on there

[hallow umbra]

k

do you know a fix to the "clear cache and playerprefs" problem?

the project i used to make avatars before worked fine before the problem came up

[empty flint]

my throat still feels like crap

I probably wont play VRChat for the time being until the cold hecks off

[slate verge]

you can clear your cache in-game via settings > advance settings

[hallow umbra]

nonono

[rough pulsar]

@hallow umbra Check the console for build errors

[slate verge]

oh

[hallow umbra]

the unity project only shows that option

i cant use the control panel or other stuff

[slate verge]

@hallow umbra https://discordapp.com/channels/189511567539306508/361742235525709825/622464854292430859

discord is amazing isn't it

[languid beacon]

Yes, you can kick yourself. Yes it will work, yes it makes your trust level go down too

[silent whale]

ouch

[lyric sphinx]

anyone wanna plzy the town of salem world?

[glad bolt]

Yeah, that's unreasonable.

I just did it out of curiosity, but that makes no sense to me if I'm in my own home world with only myself in it.

Is that so?

🤔

Still, I wish it were greyed out for self.

K

[hallow umbra]

wrong chat

it still wont upload but the panel is there

[faint skiff]

Does anyone know of a shader that makes it look like there's more than one copy of an object? Trying to do something interesting for an emote animation, but creating more than one copy of the model will immediately murder the rating.

[devout island]

id tell you if i knew one but i dont im no expert in that

[bronze vault]

Anyone free to help me out with making a custom avatar? Never done it before, tried following a tutorial but ended up making some buggy thing 😛

[static crow]

ahhhhh i accidentally used a special text as one of my name letters and it doesn't show up in game at all so my name looks so weird

is there a way to change it back or something TwT

[faint skiff]

You can once every 90 days or so

[static crow]

my name just shows up as yanite instead of Kyanite that's so dum =.=

don't they help in situations like that

[torn nebula]

You can always ask

[faint skiff]

No, because people aren't supposed to be using special characters in the first place, it's super annoying.

[torn nebula]

http://help.vrchat.com/home/

[slate verge]

yeah we're supposed to use normal letters

[static crow]

they can always block it, didn't know lol

[silent whale]

there's so many Unicode characters blocking it isn't really feasible

[faint skiff]

You use a whitelist rather than blacklist.

[inland rose]

*tfw kana / kanji / hangul / etc. are considered not "normal letters"

[slim temple]

^^this

[tacit plank]

Unicode is important

Just blacklist the first 32 and "right-to-left mark"

[ivory folio]

@faint skiff I can dm you a shader. I don't know if you want toon shading or anything but this one is just unlit

[faint skiff]

@ivory folio For the duplication? Anything is fine as it can create the illusion of more copies

[left minnow]

Hello everyone 🙂

Im new to VRchat and VR in general, Ive been on vrchat before via desktop but finally got my VR set this week and played VRchat with actual VR for the first time today

Got to say that it's a whole different experience if you're actually in VR

[meager solstice]

yep, thats how most people react when they first get vr

[left minnow]

What are some good things to do in VRchat to start with?

Also why is litteraly everyone a catgirl

[bronze vault]

NOOOO was making my avatar and blender crashed lost everything 😦

[lyric urchin]

the Murder game world is pretty fun, cards against humanity, climbing worlds, this one really cool world called Underground City

there's also a collaborative effort of metro railroads that link to various worlds that start from a world called VR Central Station if that's your kind of thing; it's fun to virtual miss your virtual train and have to wait for it to circle around again

[left minnow]

Okay thank you leo ^^ I'll go check it out

The metro railroads to sound fun

[lyric urchin]

imo it's one of VRChat's true hidden gems

[left minnow]

Oof that sounds bad S Y K, did you lose a lot of time?

[devout island]

i didnt know a central station existed

[left minnow]

Also how long will I stay a visitor?

[lyric urchin]

i'm not exactly sure because i never really paid attention to mine, but if you go around and socialize, add people, just have fun really, it should bump your rank up soon

[devout island]

depends on how much you play the game like being with people and making friends and stuff

[left minnow]

Okay ^^ I'll just go hang out then, thanks for the help guys! 🙂

[bronze vault]

Lost about 2-3 hours worth of time

was my first avatar too so im so disheartened about it :/, recently bought my vr so want to really get into vr chat and make my own avatar. legit upsetting

[devout island]

what avatar were you doing

[lunar shell]

Doesn't Blender have an autosave?

I've recovered projects using it.

[ruby needle]

Not by default at least, i belive.

I know many, my self included, had these issues of loosing progress cus it locks up.

[lunar shell]

I think it's restore last session.

[ruby needle]

Since then i save very regularely

[vocal shard]

What do I need to upload my avatar I got friends and I got 3 days in vr chat

[ruby needle]

Becoming verified by the trust system is based on reaching a not time based trust score, which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.

You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner with your VRChat account, walking around, meeting people and also making some friends. Idling won't help.
According to many responses in this discord, a rough estimate would be ** 20-40 hours**, but big exceptions are possible.

Make sure you are not using a steam or oculus account because those can not be verified and continue playing the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

http://help.vrchat.com/kb/article/27-why-cant-i-upload-avatars-or-worlds-yet

[vocal shard]

Hmm

[lunar shell]

https://www.blenderguru.com/tutorials/3-ways-recover-lost-work

[vocal shard]

Still weird I have vr account and still launchers steam

[covert blade]

Probably because you have VRChat installed via Steam

[vocal shard]

Hmm soo

I need to delete be steam

[ruby needle]

no

[covert blade]

Creating a third party account will not bypass Steam if that's where you downloaded it from

[ruby needle]

the launcher doesnt matter

the thing you log in with does

[vocal shard]

I log in from website

They mean a steam account to log in. You play on steam. What matters is the account you use

I had verified my account

[covert blade]

I think you're confusing a few things here. If you have a VRChat account and use that one, then it doesn't matter how you launch it.

[vocal shard]

Oh I use that

[covert blade]

Also if you merge it you can login via Steam and then it automatically uses your VRC account

[vocal shard]

I did merge

Them

[covert blade]

Then just play until you reach "New User"

[vocal shard]

Ok

I mean doesn’t stop me from enjoying vr chat but I got tons Avis I want to upload load I feel a bit sad 😞

You'll get it soon. It's just to prevent people from making accounts just to upload malicious avatars

[covert blade]

It honestly doesn't take that long to reach New User

[vocal shard]

Ok I understand I will just keep playing basically I stop playing most games I play just to play vr chat

Even got an a rift from a friend for free he went to the military he didn’t need it soo he gaved it to me 👀👀👀

[glad bolt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vocal shard]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[glad bolt]

[vocal shard]

#moderation-reports

[devout island]

also take a screenshot of the guy

[vocal shard]

also a video

😳

😔

[covert blade]

Sure, but just don't expect something to be done about it anytime soon

I ran into a person using noclip in Murder 2 all day long for weeks, reported him, others reported him, and he's still active

Of course the moment you block someone they get pissed

But blocking + switching instance can do the trick

Should make it quite a bit harder to mess with you and eventually they're going to have a large amount of people blocking them

[signal finch]

anyone know of any demon slayer worlds?

[lean nexus]

Ello

[devout island]

hi

[bronze vault]

@devout island Custom one i was just putting bobs and pieces together, didnt even know if it would work tbf. First time trying so

[devout island]

at least you tried it thats why you should ask someone if they can do it for you

[bronze vault]

I did ask some friends but they all refused to

[misty delta]

hey im trying to publish my avatars and i finished publishing them in unity but they arent appearing in my vrchat game

[meager solstice]

do u have the correct version of unity @misty delta

[misty delta]

i have 2017.4.33f1

[bronze vault]

Think the correct one was 2017.4.15f1

[misty delta]

k lemme try that one

[bronze vault]

Hope it helps ^^

[misty delta]

also when i try some other unity versions the vrchat sdk only say utilities > clear cache and playerprefs

[bronze vault]

No idea with that sorry, only know the correct version from researching. Havent actually succeeded in making my own avatar yet ;P

[boreal violet]

@misty delta "Unity 2017.4.28f1 - Scroll down to find LTS Release 2017.4.28f1
If you have Unity Hub installed, you can just click here to install the proper version. Do NOT install the 2017.4 version that's in the list in the Unity Hub.... use the link we've provided above!" https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/setting-up-the-sdk

"It is very important that you install the correct version of Unity. Ensure that you are installing and using Unity 2017.4.28f1, otherwise content that you upload will not be visible in the application."

[misty delta]

2017.4.15 works

my model published

[boreal violet]

alright, just quoting the official docs

[misty delta]

ah

[boreal violet]

good that it worked then 🙂

[bronze vault]

Dope 🙂

[slate verge]

Seeing all these halloween worlds really inspires me to wanting and making my own

[lyric sphinx]

I haven't entirely figured out which one I wanted to jump into myself but I played town of Salem and was disappointed at how someone runs the game wrong and everyone just agrees as if it's automatically correct. Like, how is there not a serial killer when in the actual game there is one, also not to mention that the game is played with a mod remembering the roles. I would have liked there to have been a role in your house or as a card on the ground in front of your podium

[wet widget]

anyone know the poly limit?

[broken plover]

They removed it with the perfromance rank update. but If you want to have an optimized avatar you should stay below 50k or so

[wet widget]

sweeeeeet

thanks mate

also

how do you look at visemes in blender

cant find em

[broken plover]

I think its the object data thing (the one above materials)

[wet widget]

not there

just bone groups

[broken plover]

no idea then. sorry. I'm not that expierenced with blender

[wet widget]

thx tho

[pseudo basalt]

It’s in the mesh menu. upside down triangle icon

They’re called blendshapes in blender

[vocal shard]

!online

There are 8560 users in VRChat currently

A meme it seems. Not one I understand though

[vocal shard]

@vocal shard Oh my god. Your profile.

I hate it.

I don't actually hate you its just fbdbhdjd the meme-
