on vr chat website?
i think i got it now, ty rin!
how's vr in an rift s with a 1050 ti 3g?
How's everyone doing today?
Anyone know some to talk to on avatar creation
@glacial storm So, you're baiscally trying to use VRChat as an alternative to Facerig from what I understand. VRChat's face expressions are all hardcoded into each avatar as static animations bound to hand gesture animations done either by actual gestures on Oculus/Index controllers, or sectors on the circular touchpads of other controllers. There may be a way to emulate the input of Vive controllers and the touchpads through external programs into SteamVR based on input from a program looking at your webcam, but it'd be a pain in the rear, and would be far from being as expressive as Facerig or other similar VTuber solutions.
VRChat is very much a social app first, and can be made to work as a recording studio through some trickery.
can yall avatars load
no
VRChat having problems?
Lots of players online. Server's not having problems yet
I wish we could vc on here
that would be complete chaos
will IK_Follower ever work?
Tafi and Vroid have free bases to make that a lot less complex. Though I think Tafi won't be free forever.
Tafi works 100% /s
Never tried it and since it's not anime, never will
I've seen just a 3 or 4 Tafis out of hundred or so people I've encountered the past week. And 2 were the same Tafi.
I don't know why is it when I animate this helicopter it keeps flying bloody backwards...
I need to fire the pilot.
question whats the heat rating on worlds?
how lit (popular) a world is
something like this would be recorded entirely in vrchat yeah?
https://twitter.com/ootamato/status/1195907040004100097
stationary camera that faces the character, custom background, and a full body motion tracking device that vrchat supports
Probably just a singleplayer scene in unity, which could be ported to a vrchat world. Whether they would, I doubt it. There isn't much of a reason to use vrchat unless you want non-local multiplayer when it comes to vtubers.
thats another app
ah, our resident famous v-tuber should know more ๐
No.
why am i pinged
idk ๐คทโโ๏ธ ask @vocal shard
@vocal shard why did you ping me man.
It's for the Nintendo Wii shop
He wants to make a purchase
This is starting to sound like some kind of promotion or ad....
im just gonna ignore the fact i was pinged
Hey does anyone know of some cool worlds to go to to meet new people?
Oh i just came from the rain room like no one was there
Cool thanks
^^
Hewwo
hyaa
so i have one report on my community labs world is there a way to see what it is?
If you just have 1 report on the world that's there always for every world if it's 2 then someone has actually reported it@proven breach
@deft girder it wasnt there for 2 days though
Should always be 1 for every map by default
If someone has actually reported it you can see the tags on the website there should be a extra one for the type of report it was
Soooo anyone knows a world with swing music in it? :3
look for the music worlds
I have a quick question. A avatar I had yesterday on my list of fav disappeared. It's a small flying avatar known as Blue Fairy. Does anyone know where I can get it or have it so I can clone?
There's a chance it was set to private or deleted
Ah, okay. Thanks
Boy do I hate it when people merge their account and they have a different name and I look at it and I'm like, who tf are you
I get so worried about cleaning up my friends list for this reason
At least it seems to automatically unfriend the old acc now
Before, I looked at my friends list and was wondering why there's two people with the same name
:I
This is why we need the ability to add notes to people
The only reason I could recognize him was because his ingame display name and his Discord name were almost identical
i agree to all that Mason said ^
could someone upload the avatar i made, i dont have the rank yet
I'm pretty sure I deleted people I actually enjoyed hanging out with when I removed a bunch of inactives a month back. I couldn't tell who had defriended me, who changed names, and if they were just inactive for the past few months or actually gone from the game.
@last rover Please do not post the same statement across multiple channels
@lunar cedar There is a third party website that allows notes on people, but there is a slim possibility of risking your account security while doing so :X
I think notes would be quite helpful too. I'm also just someone who can be forgetful at times if I just finished a day of work.
does anyone know how long i have to play to get new user
Generally I just stick to only friending people who I actually like to avoid the problem of looking at someone and thinkin' they're just randoms
But if someone merges their account and are literally unrecognizable, well then that does raise some red flags
It's not a problem anymore, but when I didn't have friends I was honestly desperate.
Same
That's why I had to prune my list once
So that everything's at the same level of standard ya know?
Posted it in #vrchat-general-1
Ikr
I mean it's fine if they just change names, because notes, but if they merge their account and I have a brand new account in my list that I haven't seen before then that's oof
Yea, the oof is on vr chat for making it necessary to merge/change accounts.
Alternative way would be to force people to make an account to even play at all
Yea, that would be ideal.
The oof is that there's no first party support to add notes to people
Because then I could just attach a note to everyone and once they merge, they'd have the same notes as before
I played for awhile before I even realized that my steam account wasn't really supported, and I had weird numbers next to my name.
Yup. All Steam accs have that
But yeah, first party note support when
Discord has it, Steam has nicknames
What I want to see is more settings that I can limit character models. Like auto hide anything 50,000+.
Just set the perf limiter to medium or something
Perf limiter?
:I
Speaking Russian now
It's a setting that auto hides avatars based on the performance rank
performance limiter
Suggesting things that already exist I see
So the thing I want,is already a thing!
Just takes a minute to go through all the settings that exist
On vr, these settings don't seem to be prevalent. I log into game and anything on those menus you would think would have all your options.
Like.. most every other game.
?
Also historical names so I can figure out how the hell I'm supposed to know someone after they change their name
^
Technically that'd be their account name, but when people change twice then ya'r just screwed
And everything requires the website to look up so if you just meet them ingame, you won't be able to look up anything so easily
what is this popup on windows asking for VR chat to install something extra to let people share direct links to worlds? i forgot to SS it
The URL protocol handler installer
It's the protocol handler installer. If you need to re-run it there's an exe for it in vrchat's installation directory.
It's part of VRC itself, it allows you to click vrchat:// URLs and have that launch vrchat into that world id.
oh sweet - tysm
Can someone help me join a world?
@wicked aurora Please do not ignore my answers to the same question you asked in #general-media :I
... the key on your keyboard which says "ESC"
Oh..
and it means escape
Aka the key that is almost a universal pause and settings key for all games
I'm clicking it, and the page is staying normal.
I was assuming you were ingame
You need to download the game via Steam if you want to play
VRChat is not a browser game
I can't find it on steam.
That isn't a problem exclusive to Steam games, but games for PC in general
I really didn't get what you mean.
The majority of games for PC are Windows exclusive
That's regardless of where you get them
Steam tells you what platforms a game supports. Hell, Steam has more non-Windows games than almost any other store.
That's probably also why you couldn't find it on Steam because the game isn't supported for your platform
When will they make it for mac??
Now there are ways to play Windows games on non windows platforms but I'm not an expert at this
Dunno, but unless Mac supports VR probably never
Okay.
(I dunno if Mac supports VR)
@wicked aurora Probably Never. Mac have been sabotaging game support for the last few years, plus it's a VR game and Mac doesn't support VR.
Well, when I get a windows computer, i'll join this server again.
Alrighty
Hell, Linux has considerably better VR support these days.
I generally like Linux more than Mac for various reasons, but sadly game support and performance seem to be lacking still :/
Proton is the light in the darkness. Thank the lord Gaben
I mean I'm probs just gonna stick to Windows simply for game compatibility which is very important to me but I'd love if other operating system would be more attractive for that too
as well as a doitsujin, the creator of dxvk
I still get Wine Bugzilla notices for bugs I filed like 16 years ago, lol
Umm yeah there's a hacker going around VRChat ruining crap and taking people's ips
I miss the Halloween pug.
Low-key I kinda preferred it.
He keeps making alts using 3 or more in a day
@tame berry How do you keep running into them so often?
nothing will happen if you tell us about them. Report them like in #moderation-reports
hi babys
o-o heyz there
yeet
Hello
heyzz mushyrooom
Does anyone know of a world where there are different Sphere Boi avatars?
Hey guys does anyone knows about the LPD? Just wanted to tell you guys that the discord was delete minutes ago due to reasons that are unknown to me-
So sadly you won't see officers going around in patrol anymore, at least not until we can get a new one maybe
Oh what?
Sounds like they need to sort themselves out internally before anyone else concerns themselves with it.
Big sad. I joined their world later on and met a few of them
Well I guess I won't be lurking their Discord anymore :I
remember when vr was 600 dollars
I mean the Index is 1k +
vr is now like $100-$1300 depending on what ur lookin for >u>
what country? 800usd is price for index without basestations
m
the cleaning cloth is obviously the most expensive part
Yes
mhm
no base stations means no tracking
index is $1k if you dont already own basestations
Or if you do but want to upgrade to v2 lighthouses
When I have the spare money I plan to go full 4 v2 in my setup for minimum occlusion.
i think more then 3 is stupid except for big spaces
Not if you have some odd room geometry that causes occlusion.
since 3 should allready cover all occlusion cases in a triangle setup
You're only factoring in 2 dimensions Paul, think about occluding from above and below, makes it even easier to accidentally block things.

The ideal v2 setup would be 4, two in the usual top two corners, and two in the bottom opposite corners.
with how vive trackers work i still think 3 should always be able to cover
unless you manage to align 3 pieces in a very stupid position
Consider body parts.
sorry valve
๐
Glass floor would reflect the ir though wouldn't it
They won't, reflections would cause no end of problems.
Plus variation in the IOR of the glass could send the lasers off course enough to skew the tracking.
The lighthouses send waves of IR light out, and the Controllers and headsets senses it
Contrary to what a load of people say, Lighthouse (Vive, Vive Pro, Pimax, Index, etc) are inside-out tracking systems. They just have external reference points.

i mean
inside out to me is definted as the package handles all inside its main position
Except not
I hate these terms so much because they confuse the heck out of my me
That's markerless inside out.
I mean, to get really fucking pedantic, systems like WMR are Computer-Vision markerless inside-out tracking.
Hello Vrchat community I am the LPD sergeant and moderator or was... SarmaTeppou deleted the Miko Collection and will be deleting all LPD assets why? We don't know yet, this is not the end of our community and our backup server is in full force thank you all sorry for this inconvenience
@proper drift Yeah, heard that from earlier. Quite unfortunate
I've been in the LPD world earlier today and meet a few of ya
Really sucks. Always like the LPD โค๏ธ
you guys didnt deserve that, MidnightTomato ๐ฆ
stay strong, I believe you guys can make it through this nonsense and rise back up!
I hope you'll recover from that soon
Ive seen sarma
So wait.... does that mean all the Miko soldiers and stuff will be gone too? Damn
Atoll of ether a few days ago
That means today was the last day I've seen those avatars
I have one of those favd too huh
We were in the LPD station and messing around with those avatars
They be shooting me, I become an SCP guard and shoot back
All Sarma assets, mikos will be deleted or privated
Some of them spawned HMMWV's, they tossed grenades at me
Well I cant use the avatars anyways
Damn
They are not fbt compatible
Oh
They have the tilted hip thingy
so wait are the worlds hecked too, Midnight :c
The one I had wasnt
Hroi owns the station, tide and I own the twitter and owns the LPD stories
We lose nothing but avatars
That still sucks
if I was an expert with making worlds I'd make the LPDs a mansion to stay at until the community recovers owo
But that gives way to more uniqe lpd avatars
Considering staying with the same overused base model all that time gets kinda boring
cause really the LPD doesnt deserve a nuke, they deserve way better than that
(Note: Here once was a bad, edgy and tasteless joke that i removed because it neither aged well nor was great a the time either.)
o.o
Dont make me get the stick out paul
@ruby needle Don't worry I'll fix that
Paul did you progress on that charging station btw?
It wont be very beautiful or so
it more focuses on what you do yourself
Also yes sasha that works already
yesyesyesyes
I have tested all of that and the only thing I now need is some textures and the pillow model
What childish drama. Also another reason to have your own avatar rather than relying on one person for literally everyone's avatars... (not to mention adding a bit of personal flair rather than being clones).
Yeah
^
That's why I bought the elf avatar for 20โฌ which was originally a public avatar
It's mine now and I can keep it forever
Cant run the risk of losing that precious pink sweater ukon
lol
I always wondered why everyone seemed to be using one of a small set of Sarma avatars rather than their own variations. I likely would have made my own if I joined, but I'm wondering if there was a rule that explicitly said you have to use one of that set? If so, that seems suspect in itself.
๐ค
Yeah
I know one of the people I know got their hands on at least one LPD model
I stopped questioning his sources after he showed me that he basically owns all popular booth models...
I dont like it when people dont buy the model and just get it somewhere else
lpd model ?
or maybe it's to make it easy for them to identify that they're in the police force?
Like, please just support the artist
They worked hard on that model so please show respect by actually paying
I think I only ever met a patrol once and that was in a quest world
Like 5 of 'em at once
They tried to force me into RP on quite a few occasions but I hadn't seen them recently.
One or both had sarma in them
I've seen the LPD arrest a car at one time
lol
like an actual car, not one from the cartoon movie
they were driving around the station rather than using a car park or something
how do some people like make special effects on screen, is that some 3rd party program or what?
Shaders and custom animations
like zooming in or pops up a image
Can be done in Unity as part of the avatar
Idea: keep track of how many people log out in the same instance as every player. Ban the top percentile.
anyone who's around a disproportionate amount of people logging out is using crashers
@molten gale Your imposter is here
@languid beacon Hmm are you sure that this would work? What if I'm around that many players logging out but don't crash due to safety and performance settings?
itd drastically narrow down the possible suspects
and would only matter if it happens multiple times
True, but banning people based on assumption and treating false bans as acceptable casualties is not something I can agree with
you act like it would just be an autoban lol
That was never clarified
kind of a silly assumption
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
it narrows down possible suspects to a manageable number and they can just do a quick check of avatars and who has a crasher
First time playing vrchat on pc only, how do i use abilities
emotes? Shift+F keys
Thanks
anyone know any free video sites i can upload to that work with the generic video player you see in places like room in the rain? other than youtube of course, streamable works good but is restricted to only 10 minute videos
I mean, what's wrong with YT?
hackers
cant upload movies to youtube ๐
i meant i found hackers
So?
Thats not hackers, thats crashers
Well.. actually lets be more specific, its Abusers of a common exploit that had never truly been fixed, because there are so many way's in which to call it.
Is it the script to "kill" avatars?
?
It's a flood.
yeah no need to do it automatically, but it would be an easy filter
I see
people use crashers have a disproportional amount of people that log off in their presence, it's a trackable metric and it would probably stand out like a sour thumb
that said what are the minimum settings that reliably block crashers? i think my settings are overkill
Particle limitter + animations off
Perf limiter to poor / disable animations alone should already help on most cases
I don't like setting to poor because i hate bots - and it's most people
Welcome to my t h i c c mine
what is a good limit for particles?
5
@ivory folio @covert blade
Not sure
I personally don't limit particles at all, just having the limiter will disable playerlocal particle collision
It won't protect against anyone that decides to spawn a million particles at once, killing the world, but that happens very rarely in my experience
I'd say a good limit for particles would be dependant on many factors.. like how many people you have active in your session for one, also how trustworthy they are.. obviously that matters, but overall i used to go with 1k particles and no more.
It all depends.. on scale mostly, like weather systems start and end via size.. done with particles looks nice, but due to example.. snowing.. then a release of about 200 particles every few mins isnt bad looking.. but its more of a blip, like a hole.. rather than constant snow.. so a thousand again depending on world size.. just seemed to flow better for me.
I've never been one for over the top fx.. not my thing, but with weather systems.. particles belong.
All this talk about snow is getting me excited for christmas !
meeeeh
Yeah.. well i kinda feel that.. snow is the best part of it in my opinion.. im to old to care about birthdays and xmas now.. i think i lost that part of me when i was in my 30's at some point lol

Xmas isnt xmas without a snowman that smiles.. i mean i like cute things like that so.. yeah lol
thatโs because everyone doesnโt care about you after the age of 20. my family stopped talking to us ages ago
Yeah that's probably true i mean my brothers moved out and went there own ways in life and in the end well you just grow as yah know
kids and xmas though.. i mean if i had kids i'd give them what i wanted then and yeah.. its more for them as i see it
I appreciate watching scrooge on tv puting my feet up and getting drunk on xmas, while family's celebrate together im like.. yeah shut up im tryin to sleep i dont need none of that noise.... now where's that remote gone.. was round here somewhere.. lol
Nah fuck that im going to my parents for christmas
yo wassup all
Yo im fairly new to VRC and atm im a Desktop user but ya boi knows like next to no-one in game, Anyone wanna just straight chill?
sorry dont have time
oof
but hay
you remind me that i model too much characters instead if actually playing the game!
haha I wanna learn how to do that eventually
its not hard one you get into it really
i began in a different way than vrchat character modeling
i made ports
from stronger hardware to weaker one
and had limits of how many polygons it has
Damn, rest in peace LPD
Theyll find a way
what happened to them?
The avatars will get removed I think
@inner cape Their server got deleted
Yep
That too?
how and why
I thought only avatars are affected
Someone came here mentioning their discord server being deleted
their twitted is uuh, fine
oh right someone was saying theyre maknig all the stuff private
not sure why but i also didnt even know anything about it
That too
oooh is it drama?
I think all of Sarma's stuff
im sure itll get ripped soon enough no worries 
most of those models are free on that website you can download them from anywai
unsure ab the police ones but the army ones for sure
n theres a lil one with a fedora
a gangster
yuh all of the mikos are free 2 download (i think by the person who made them?)
Hey all, The LPD is not dead at all. Yes this is a step back to lose the server but we will recover. We still have a fantastic community full of great people. We are already in the process of regrouping as we speak and are moved into a new server. We still have our station world, our twitter, and our youtube series and we will get over this stronger than ever. ๐
@fierce trail yee ik. Still sucks that it had to happen at all
Christmas is a time for giving me... Whiskey... Christmas is a time for having fun and smiling alot... Whiskey...
Tried wine today
Paci drinks alcohol D:
currently have rum n' coke
I only have some bepis
Rum'n coke aint bad.. i mean rums just a great drink on its own really.. so many different variety's
Mhmm. My uncle just brought over smokehead whisky the other day. ^^

Your uncle treats you good.. wish i had someone like that lol

He's like I'm proud of you if you can drink scotch
XD
I've made beer its better when its made by you.. atleast you know what goes into it.. fermentation is about a week in pitch blackness good temp of 16c to 24c max.. non carbonated is better.. goes to you head a dam lot quicker to and no gas at all
i prefer oldie drinks myself like how stuff used to be made.. englands got a history of that.. and me and history.. i always wanted to drink what those did before me did, back then they drank beer in placement of water because they thought the plague was in the water.. imagine that.. kids children drinking beer lol

Well never hurts to drink stuff that isnt fermented with plain old sugar ๐
in moderation its good for yah.. all the time and your brown bread lol
One drink i need to make at some point is Mead.. its the country way of making it.. its not easy to re-create the original recipe to that dates back over a thousand years.. thats quite some history
back then it was less than 1% it was basically water
not like the kids were drinking back lagers
The water was bad it wasnt just a belief lol
and there's no science to non-carbonated alcohol getting you more or less drunk
this has been my homebrew ted talk
@molten gale Try some golden apple from strongbow. It's a great English cider
yeah strongbow was ass until earlier this year, they changed the recipe but just changed it back
probably because they realized no one liked it any more lol
Yeah, cider is a good choice if you dont like beer
I don't really remember the flavor changing but I often drink angry orchard crisp so maybe that's effecting my pallet
Been checking out a bunch of Japanese virtual marketplace worlds xD
So much work put into those places and stores, and some really weird, but cool stuff.
Anyone in the miko collection discord (LPD) it was deleted by Sarma, if anyone would like an invite back please hit me up in dm's I am the current sergeant and moderator of the VRChat LPD.
๐
@rigid crescent Not having none of that talk, although you put that point across.. the entire reason they drank that back then was because of fear mongering.. simply not having the science to prove otherwise and so they drank what they did.. im obviously many generations further ahead and i live so.. by that statement i wonder how they lived based on the fact that they were my family after all.. i just find it amazing that they thought it was the option above water and so they drank nothing but beer to live.
pretty sure there was plenty proof back then lol
"i drink beer me no sick." "i drink water me sick"
the water wasnt clean by any means. they might not know WHY it made them sick but they know it did
There was none.. the same as asbesto's was actually good for you when it was created.. i mean as backup i quote the history books.. as its stated the entire reason they drank beer was because of fear of the water.. even if yes beer contains water.. the fermentation process may of yielded to then as purity.
There's plenty of history to show that they drank it because it was safer
They didnt know WHY it was safer, just that it was
it took me two seconds to google that much
Dont quite understand how you can google and yield that result when that is not something that was written by someone who even had that thought rather a historian with their own conclusions of how the world was seen.. we are talking a completely different age.. its like them debaiting the pyramids and how they was built.
i mean its literally no different.
Fact is my people got through a terrible age by drinking beer.. and that is what honestly fascinates me, rather not the thought process but the overall of lets switch over to beer.. perhaps it was fermentation that attracted them to it based on purity level.. nobody can say
i mean that's a common misconception about the middle ages but i mean if you wanna believe it youre free to. plenty of sources prove otherwise
but thats just it.. sources based on an historians point of view the way they saw the world.. my god you know the pyramid in this age with how they see it yes its a way of seeing it.. i mean.. stone henge another history.. probably much older than the giza pyramid.. still just drawing up an after thought really.. i mean i guess back then they didnt have much other than spirits or water / beer.. i've no idea what drew them to beer.. but know that the pubs were way more full than they are today.. still i cant help but envy them.. not for the fact of a deadly plague, more of factual things like no evidence and switching over.. its a mystery and only today people have questions.. but no answers .. just drawn up ideas.
aight im done
Anyone know how to translate text that is ingame? I saw a video where someone used some tool to translate Japanese text.
Mic your a serious lightweight
Around 40 sec into the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfJMMyXneok
Googling things without asking questions.. honestly lol
ok you can stop now
as far as i know that's something the user set up, so i dont think you can Yu
Oh no i haven't even begun, i would so love a conversation for once on many things.. like time and spatial distortions and more ๐
wait what, you lost your friend's left touch controller?
Yeah...
How many of you meet me on vrc
@fiery swift They're running their stream output through an Android emulator which in turn is running Google Goggles / Google Translate in live camera mode. They're likely using OVRToolkit to display the emulator window on their arm in-game.
Hmmm, no idea, sorry.
Yo who's online on vrchat rn?
!online
There are 6388 users in VRChat currently
Hi everyone, I'm at work now. Most probably would log into vrchat later tonight
anyone get kicked from the world unexpectedly?
!online
There are 5423 users in VRChat currently
woah
i dont rlly know what to think anymore of vrchat, went in span of 2 years from great experience to just aweful
Guess that depends on the people you hang out with.
Still have a good experience, even after 2 years
Yeah depends on people
Like on 1 hand i got americans which i can communicate easily because (english), but on other hand they are sometimes more obnoxious and loud, but then again i feel more comfortable with japanese people but sadly donยดt know enough language to communicate with them, and koreans feel like ....just a straight nope
Hang out with the Russians
im german, they would just bash us up
f
and i dislike other germans so yeah..
rip me lul
What about Canadians
like i also got all these good video ideas but canยดt realise any of them because lack of support
like i already got 1k hours in vrchat but over the 2 years it certainly has gotten worse/more difficult with making friends, or maybe its just me and i see more red flags in people
its so easy making friendsss
I already got FBT and latest Index but now i just feel like not even touching it anymore.
same 2 year of vrchat 5k hours lost almost most of the friends i start it
always in public still cant seem to make friends xd
The demographics have changed a lot since two years ago
It is hard to find good people in publics now. I notice it really depends on the time of day. Best choice is to just join on friends. Most chill people are always in friends+
I agree to that idea too
God I'm trynna find someone to tell me if my mic is clear or not but literally finding someone to talk to is nearly impossible
๐
I feel your inconvenient situation
Thx
^^ any time
How would one go about reporting someone using a hack/modded client?
#moderation-reports <- @vocal shard
Ah so I can't do it directly from ingame
More effective if you provide actual proof while sending them a ticket
But you can also click a person and report the user
What would I report them as ingame?
Just select the closest one to match their actions
Hello
I just got 5 crunchyroll ads in a row rip
hello
If I clear my downloaded content, does that also clear my avatar?
it shouldn't
Ok. Thanks. :)
it seems to be a typo, on the twitter it says 2020 so only half far awayยจ
PHEW
@pure hemlock People forget that that only works if you already have a bit friends list though. "Just stay in friends+" doesn't work for people with 20 friends. Now that I have a decent amount, it goes up fast. I went into a labs instance to test something yesterday (which is friends+ technically) and after a short while there were 18 people in there, either friends or friends of friends.
Hi All, dont want to bug people , but just curious if anyone has had issues with vrc since they updated last ? i cant seem to fullscreen using any ways documented
I need friends.
O.o by all means piano artist we can be friends
y a y
^ยฐ^
Who's down for vrchat
Considering how horribly unreliable the in-game friends list is, does anyone know if there's a better community-made tool available?
Just discovered VRC has an API, and was considering making one myself -- but figured I'd check if something already exists, first.
There is no officially supported API tho, so consider that when you make what ever you wanna make.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
The in-game friends list can be made 100% reliable by WAITING once you open the social tab.
Define waiting, because I've had it get stuck in the same state for literally like an hour.
The top row will refresh, then the friends row will refresh, then the groups will refresh. DO NOT DO ANYTHING while that's happening. You'll see them change one by one.
@restive shore Also a headsup you cant link it into the game then as it would count as a modified client then
Also the official VRC website one should work properly all the time
If you interupt the process, it'll stick with a stale cache.
I'm pretty sure I've waited for it to refresh and it's still not updated to properly show locations, or sometimes even the correct status
adding friends to a favorite tab loads a lot faster
But I guess I'll keep that in-mind
@umbral reef No, I wouldn't be modding the client. Just pinging off the API.
almost instant
The UI will get a overhaul soon that will also implement the newer features we have now better
Yeah, I'm hoping that's going to be something that's addressed in the next update, for sure.
I don't really care if it's blown up, or made immediately irrelevant. Making stuff is fun either way. ๐
Was just checking to see if something was already in place

How are you going to get the game to display the info properly then ๐
There is a few things. But youโre probably better off making it yourself
I'm talking about having an external tool I just have running on the side. I'm not actually injecting into the game.
Obviously that'd be a bit sketch. ๐
Ay then its good
it reads doesn't write
Well you can ping the api without being in the game rin so it wont even have to read the game
I got one that does both and even acts as a discord bot 
Custom made?
Yup. Handles all discord and vrchat stuff.
Inviting people to worlds, accepting friend requests and so on
Nice!
That sounds awesome
Given the huge crossover between VRC and Discord, that sounds like a really clever integration
Working on setting up the reaction so you can be in VR, open your desktop and react to a linked world and youโll be sent a invite to it
Does SteamVR have an API too? Or how would you link into gestures like that?
No, discord message reaction.
Oooooh, gotcha
Bot will add a icon like
and when you click it, it will send a invite
That's really cool
Was mainly made so we could test Quest worlds that are private (since you canโt join off a link with Quest)
I'm still really new to this game, so I haven't developed any deep-enough networks to be invited to any discords -- but I'd imagine I'll probably play around with stuff like that if I ever get to that point.
It's always fun seeing the neat stuff you can do, just tying a couple APIs together.
Sure is! Just sucks that some are abusing it at times 
Have people been able to do some bad stuff with the VRC API?
Spaming it
or requesting avatar packages / changing into avatars
earlier tho
now that'll likely not end well for you ๐
Seems everyone and their mum has that "change into any avatar that exists" mod these days.
Happens when people without a personality need to steal someone else there personal avatar to be even looked at
I mean, avatar changing via API isnโt bad in itself. Itโs the other aspects of it that is
Ah, yeah. It's a shame that pretty much every API has to deal with script kiddies that spam 100 requests a second for an entire week straight.
That's the downside to stuff being so darn accessible these days, I guess
Like my bot stores minimal about of data. Majority of the things are either fresh from the api or cached for a hour.
DSGVO 
Now that I think of it, an integration that updates your Discord status with what you're doing in VRC would be neat
yea changing avatars isnt bad since you cant use private avatars in game anyway
there is a rich presence for vrc
Rich presence isn't official IIRC
For some reason, I can't hear anybody and everyone else's avatars show up as bots with
on them. Anyone know why?
check if you enabled safemode in the security settings
Is that under the Safety tab?
You need to redo your custom settings if you had them, or swap to one of the preset ones
Should have a disable safety mode, honestly
now you need to redo every custom rank
Should be its own preset that you swap to instead of overriding the custom
Okay, I reset the settings and it seems to have worked. Thank you for your help.
Yeah
Saftey mode is nice though saved my ass a couple times if I've got everything shown
the mode is nice, but the current implementation with changing to the custom rank and overriding everything with off, insted of beeing it's own rank, is stupid
Probably safe to assume nothing will happen until after the UI overhaul
so this happend today https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ADRfflSmrDmIRwRBWuRycpKvRGd0tqG2/view
never could've known how good this game is on dealing with anxiety
@pastel dirge that's 1:55 seconds of my life I won't get back - summarise this shit what's the big deal u asked to kick someone? ok boomer couldn't watch the rest
he used anti kick, he admitted to joining by using client and his avtar bypassed safety limit to 10 miljon polys
i was just lazy to edit it
i mean he have 20 other accounts and he have a friend who can steal poeples account but repporting one account at a time
Stealing account isnt VRchats fault though
There stuff is safe
aw man sorry for being annoyed
Its people using the same password if they even do it
Steal peoples account, use better passwords
it dosent matter if the people he stole pass of is using bad or good pass, still matters he can join on friends of account he stole
It doesnt though
This is a thing in every game, every platform every website with an account system
well he challenged me saying he cant get ban so im challenging him back
Using shit passwords and getting 'hacked' from that is users faults and problems (unless the website is the cause of the leak but thats why you dont repeat passwords)
if you think about it isn't stealing someone's account on vrchat kinda like stealing someone's identity?
imagine you log on to vrchat one day to talk your friend and its just a different person
That applies everywhere though
Facebook, youtube, twitter, reddit, imgur even
If you can interact with people its stealing a part of someone's identity
i didnt post this to debate it, i posted to people can repport if they feel like it,
Sending the same video wont make him get banned harder...
Other people aren't going to report your video for you...
i already did ^^
Heard some good comedic lines in there though.
like what xd
Like those myths about crashing computers with an avatar. Also, you can upload beyond limits without modifying your SDK now. Just may be blocked by default depending on people's settings.
What limits... They removed them :'o
A hacker stole my monitor
If someone says 'ooo i bypassed the poly limit' they are so outdated that they dont even realize that the team allows everyone to do that with the latest sdk
so your saying hacking is a myth? guys lets get rid of anti virus programs and all the security hacking dosent exist
There are limits to perf ratings still. Even if you can upload beyond what makes an avatar poor.
Yike
You're so ill informed. This is what I meant by comedic lines, pegasus.
Firstly anti viruses are rarely needed if you just don't go on sketchy websites and don't click ads on the side of your favorite hentai sites
@indigo fern but them girls that like me
Yes, I know I know, how will I ever find the hot singles in my area without checking
Those single moms that are just 2 miles away.
Mine are even closer ๐
Good thing I clicked on it
you do know that people who bypass safety limits exist right?, theres reasons also why people can join any world and spam gameobjects in example werewolf. also why some people you have avatar hidden still shows for you . just because it didnt happen to you dosent mean it dosent exist. if you dont know programming or someone who does then you shouldnt make fun of it
You're talking about several different things and mixing them all so much and getting every one of them wrong I can't-
same reason clients exist , anti safety avatars also exists
i only click on hentai ads if it's nutaku
Joining public worlds has nothing to do with bypassing the limiters
public worlds?
Clients and mods exist for various reasons, some have the sole purpose of just to enable jumping lmao
Public worlds are any type of world beside invite only or pure private
when someone join on your friends plus world, with nobody having them added is another thing
I like how your so sure no one has them added
^
Did you ask everyone in the room?
i know everyone in the room if you check they are all close friends
Also doesnt have to be on that account if its there alt. The main account can also see the room ๐คทโโ๏ธ
There has also been problems with friends not displaying the yellow nameplate this year
i knoe oclac
And even your friends can be dumb as shit with these things
^
Just because they are friends does not mean they have a functioning brain
well to summarize this since i dont have time to talk all day, avatars that bypass safety and will be shown for you even when hiddden exists, if you wish to live in denial its your issue goodbye ill have to go playa game now
I love how you claim that we say its not a thing while no one beside you has said that
Not to mention social menu scuff where one person is on the friends list and the other person isn't has happened in the past
Okay! Time for some trash isekai anime.
What safety were they bypassing? They weren't visible in your video...
SaigoToday at 10:20 PM
Like those myths about crashing computers with an avatar. Also, you can upload beyond limits without modifying your SDK now. Just may be blocked by default depending on people's settings.
Just may be blocked by default depending on people's settings.
thats why i talked about byopassing safety
anyway
You said we denied it being a thing (the bypassing) at all. Dont see that in there, just that its normal for people who bypassed the old limits to get auto blocked
I don't think they mean bypassing the limits, but bypassing the safety settings maybe being able to show themselves or something
Who knows tho, little hard to understand
I mean, they were properly avatar blocked in the video. So I don't get it either.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Mhm, that's why I'm not sure what they're on about
I think they're just bringing up points for the sake of it
Pretty sure they where talking about the 'But X can be a thing'
Ye
oh i missed the potato show
Nah, you had plenty yesterday ๐
clown uni seems to be getting a lot of graduates lately
๐คก
does anyone have valve index? either the stations or headset
dm me, i have important question
why not just ask away ๐ฟ
i am in australia, and i have the power adapters but idk if its the right ones
the adapters like, go in.. they;re not flat.. idk
The base stations should have the DC specs on that back, e.g. polarity, voltage, etc.
Let me grab a photo of mine a sec.
@civic plume DC 12v, 833mA, centre positive barrel.
Er, none of that, that's your mains, you're not plugging it directly into the mains.
@civic plume We should take this to #vrchat-general-1
@vocal shard Probably best to ask in #avatars-2-general
Anyone know a world with any HH avatars?( if there are any)
Helly Hanson?
Hentai Haven?
Harry Houdini?
Probably avatar with HH faces on it
Not updated regularly and missing links
Hentai Haven of today is trash now. It's sad what happened to the old domain owner.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
It's mostly just a meme anyway, the only thing good about HH was the descriptions
it was a betrayal
Fakku took the smart route. From piracy to legitimate business
Same as Crunchyroll, zoomers don't remember it was originally the biggest source for streamed anime that wasn't cut into 3 parts like YouTube was
yea lmao, i remember watching it in school ๐
Lol I get the argument about avoiding a monopoly, but I'm not paying 6 subscriptions just to watch everything that I want to. ;P
it was just one of the many random anime sites, but now they get 
So I don't really use streaming services.
i mostly download the things i want to watch, which isnt much now a days
yea lmao, there is benefit in having what you want to watch readily available,but its shit when its on a different service that you dont have
A site that I use runs entirely on donations just to keep the servers running. Wholesome. Completely ad free.
well if they take donations that aint all wholesome
its good that theyre not forcing payments
They just have a bar at the bottom that lists how much they've made for the month. And yeah, 0 obligation.
yea, i hate those scummy sites that you have to close like 20 ads before you can get to the video
Kissanime.
and then if you click somewhere it opens ads anyway
Scummy domain.
its all piracy anyway, id rather just yarr harr in bulk and watch on my own time
i.e. sitting on the toilet
Keep a minifridge nearby and you rarely have to move. Just don't get vacuum sealed.
LMAO
ive always thought about getting a minifridge + microwave so i can no life a little easier
oof Luxury.
i know right, if only ;-;
all i have are half dranken bottles of water all over the floor
Looking back at that earlier question, I feel like Deppie was inquiring about Hazbin Hotel avatars.
I knew that was what they asked but those answers were pretty funny lol
American VRC: Durrr here's my streamer circlejerk event
Japanese VRC: Greetings, we'll be throwing our weekly "Giant anime tiddy" party again this week, hope to see you all there.
its literally an event for people who like thicc avatars, this is peak culture
Jesus christ
https://twitter.com/Laluk_VRC/status/1196534230223732736 they know whats up
I hate google translate
"This is a VRC group where people who love plump children gather."
๐ฑ
I hope to god thats not an accurate translation LOL
Good thing you understand it then, doubted it was accurate anyways
yeah i think google translates it that because its obviously not a real world lol
best way i can understand it is that they slapped on a feminine suffix to "thicc" and it was like "oh youre using the suffix as a word and not as a suffix" so it litearlly transalted it lol
suffix is definitely the wrong word but its easier to explain it that way lol
Yeah the auto translate is going to have a hard time if anything strange is done, same with how slang and abbreviations throw off translators
oh yike's that person's booth 
y i k e s
Risky click of the day lmao
LMAO
Guys its a DROID its FINE
You didnt read the LORE
Oh god nvm I didnt even click on the adult ones
oh wow they have a tongue with DB settings and an adjustable "drool" blendshape
The japanese censorship is always strange, do those small rectangles trick their local auto censorship or something?
iunno some weird archaic laws i think
Please dont show ankles
i think its illegal to not censor it but you get a pass as long as an attempt is made even if its a shitty one
Wow, that just doesn't work at all does it
nope
well one day i can say i bought a 3 dollar tongue from a japanese virtual market
how cyberpunk is that?
Definitely dystopian at least
I hope we can do that kinda stuff in Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out
custom tongue to increase buffs from food ๐คค
Good day

Hey guys! How was ur day?
Ok
Happy to hear that
top of the mor-

Please stop spamming with the same messages across multiple channels, I suggest you read the #rules before continuing.
Nope
You should ask a furry @trail rain
yeah whos the furries
Why are you asking?
I Dunno, ask a furry
You need to be "New User" rank or above.
And how do I know thay
It tells you in game if you bring up the menu then don't point at anyone.
I am, o
H hr gen k!
@vocal shard I was there with ya!
Uea! I'm atlassg4
Mhmm
Dragonball super broly is on rn
Ok, I saw
Awew :C
Someone was kicked...
Whats the endgame for vr chat? XD
Lol to get e girls
to vibe
no nut november
And I crashed
what should be banned tho are people who uses open mic and plays with speakers
Lmao
oofz sup
never understood the thing about people being obsessed with mirrors in this game
They are nice to have to look at your avatar
Gotta make avatars you're proud of.
I try to ween myself off mirrors by doing things to make myself not even render in them locally.
lol
installed unity and vrcchat package but i still dont really know how to do anything so ill give it a whole day on friday to research it and test what works and what not @crystal fossil
You suffer... a lot
well
i have been suffering my whole life so why not suffer a little extra on the end of the week
The curve is only steep at first. Then there's just a few bumps here and there.
well at least its just avatars and not a whole game project
Avatar creation is most of what I enjoy about VRC.
been having a blast with karaoke the past week lol
got a sore throat now tho so i sound like a chainsmoker ๐ฆ
Oh yes. There are things that can get exciting from time to time. Like Vket is the most exciting thing that's happened in VRC in a long long time. Plenty of people with the know-how to make great things are just waiting until they're given the tools they need in order to create. So it's a bit slow right now.
does the quest and rift have the same performance on vrchat ?
but i wonder when it comes to avatar making, are there like copyright rules about what u can and cannot make? like if i make something that i belive i have came up with myself and then someone else has a very very similar avatar
I mean. People try to DMCA in VRC, but it's actually a little uncommon to find something that someone actually made completely from scratch without pulling parts from anywhere else.
@eager dew Not even remotely. The Quest runs a cut down version where you can't see 99% of the content.
If you are "creating" avatars with some MMD, you are most likely break the copyright law
oh
well i just wanted to make sure so i dont get banned for making something ^^.. like a white deer or smth, dunno
It's only really punishable if you have idiots trying to profit off of someone else's work.
@odd lava I'm curious if it would fall under fair-use derivative/transformative for the most part, especially due to being non-commercial.
how exactly do you profit of someone elses work in this game tho? do people sell avatars?
You have control over your work, it would be like using pirated copy of game and not selling it
If people put something out into the public domain, that's it.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Just don't try and sell it.
Well, a lot of people take money for kitbashing together parts from other people's efforts.
Don't do that.
Even if you edit mesh like 75% with scultping etc it is still not legal
Yeah
Pretty sure there are guidelines for that.
In most cases you are not supposed to even have this mesh and even more touch it in 3d editing software
If something has enough differences, it can be considered a unique work.
feels a bit grey area tho as there are for example like 100 spiderman avatars etc
and now after SAO got to netflix a million kirito avatars
@crystal fossil You are using someone else work as base even if it is 2% you cannot sell it
@odd lava Not necessarily, as I said, transformative and derivative exist.
Nope, You can have like 10-15 different reference as screenshots and model something, then it would be transformative
not pirating someone else mesh and editing it
Some people sell slight mods to nanachi models for 50 bucks
hiya.
Lol "pirating". Downloading a free to download model isn't pirating.

With that you can get a super high quality booth model that you can modify easily
sounds a bit "hardcore" to pay for avatars imo
I buy avatars off of Booth all the time.
Its just like buying art
Yes booth good
If it was ever shared publicly to download which is often not the case
Support the people that make those avatars
^^^
even then It is not like you can open it in 3d editing software and edit it
My main avatar is a personalized booth model
i dont have money for booth, otherwise id have bout this really awesome avatar i saw
Thought booth avatars are cheap
Lol There are rules. And the original creator makes those rules.
my main, when i upload it, is a nicovid.jp model
TDA allows edits. It does not allow porting into other software like VRC.
booth are cheep, i curently am 2 bucks negative in my bank rn
I fully respect booth model rules
TDA rules overwrite every MMD creators rules by default.
o
tda?
So if some random MMD kitbasher on deviantart tries to set their own rules, too bad.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Someone putting models together from other models parts
Majority of VRC community*
As stated. We're really not supposed to be using ANY MikuMikuDance models in VRC.
why are there even so many nanachis in vrc
Some avatar "makers" want tons of money for adding some mmd hair and some acessory and recoloring a bit
cuz most avatars looks awful in public avatar rooms
true
Not as bad as eboy wolfboy avatars tho
theres eeveelution nanachis and theyre cute af
A crowd of wolfboys is called a lag spike
LOL
not my wolfboy avatar tho!
lmao
Nico does yours have glowing tatoos and wears off-white?
No it doesnt so its not an eboy
lewd google pronounced luwld urban dictionary
What anime fans say when they're vaguely uncomfortable with how they're drooling over 14 year old girls
example "that picture is lewd"
Does it have 30 materials though?
+glowing hair tips.
fair enough
the one my friend made me wears off-white and is very poor but the one I did doesnt have any of those and is good or medium (the one with pocky for example is medium because of the mats)
My avatar has 18 materials
And it makes me feel bad
actually i think its less
It has 14 meshes tho
is 18 materials a lot?
Yes.
my avatar is not 
why not just combine the meshes together in blender? ._.
started playing like two weeks ago
nico because of togglable clothing pieces
Meshes number is another matter
Lol I don't even have an avatar with that many materials, and I use PBR.
shape keys
I aint good with blender
You can combine meshes in Unity too.
true that (paci)
Im not good with unity so my avatar has 1 material
mod abuse monkaH
i used to make avatars but i gave up
mine has 3 mats because the cutoff has to be different on some parts. Thats not possible with combining the mats to my knowledge
Since DynBones can be adjusted/disabled locally, i'd say the avatar is at least
Paci, which is good
when i finally get the ability to upload, how do i make it so ppl cant steal it
Mine has 43k or something
oh didnt read what the emote meant lol thought it was a warning sign
Once the perf system can compensate for those things, it will be much better
@vocal shard You avoid public worlds
oh
Yeah
thats boring
@vocal shard or make bad looking avatar, that would work too
and proud
bigger oof
some people make it so that only the avatar creator can use it
