Oh shit something similar happened to me a few weeks ago.
Some 'lady' got me in some private world and started asking me weird stuff
vocal shard
yeah be careful, they'll record you and put you online
sterile ingot
I've had someone pull out a magic wand on me, though I still consider that relatively tame.
analog wind
Oh Really?

omg u said hi

Does anyone know can u use playspace like dragging urself without full body??
vocal shard
You can use it to move yourself around a bit, but without full body your feet will always be stuck to the floor
tiny portal
I know that but my friend doesnt have full body and she still can drag herself with full body 😄
vocal shard
The original playspace mover had some virtual trackers, but that version of playspace mover isn't updated anymore.
Or if they used a Kinect and program, that would work too
tiny portal
i asked her she said shes using nothing and she just said "client."
molten gale
Thats uh... bannable
sterile ingot
Unwise
tiny portal
okok

Oh there's a pandemic? Time to buy a specific item that will go out of stock fast in bulk and re-sell it with a 50% mark up.

hey so ummm i gotta find my boyfriend a cute anime guy skin that has a sit animation that doesnt block the sight can someone help me >.<
analog wind
Just type on the search bar "Male Avatars" and look for a thumbnail with male avatars
final fog
well the problem is most of them dont have a good sitting animation
analog wind
Cant really help you rn.. I'm still busy. Sorry
What kind of animation do you want
The one with crossed legs?
final fog
thats fine or just legs straight out since my female avatar looks like me and does the sitting animation like straight out
stoic mist
try the world called "11 minutes"
that one has a few male ones that have sitting animations
final fog
11 minutes?
analog wind
I cant really recommend a world rn.. if you dont mind I can dm you a world in like 2/3 hours. Otherwise just wait for others to reply you here
vocal shard
660 seconds
final fog
sure @analog wind
stoic mist
there are also matching male/female avatars that you and your bf can try out
final fog
😮 THANKS
stoic mist
no problemo!
sterile ingot
Damnit, why is my VR sickness hitting me so hard 😦 I thought I had developed some VR legs and it's like I'm starting over.
indigo hawk
weird
stoic mist
maybe a certain world got to you?
final fog
imma get a vive soon >;3
sterile ingot
Means I just have to take a break. 😖
stoic mist
oh boi
sterile ingot
Maybe go and get some ginger ale. Been a while since I've done that.
final fog
@stoic mist most of them had the wrong animation some laying down looking down some sitting cross legged but hands infront ;-;
stoic mist
ahh I see
final fog
1 of them is working]
blazing badger
so as it turned out, when launching from steamvr my vrchat would lag like potato
hence the grey screen
This was never the issue when i played it 2 years ago.
jade spruce
@blazing badger same mine lags a whole lot
vocal shard

final fog
question how to you change your name again?
stoic mist
go to the vrchat website and click profile on the left side of the page, and you can change it there
you can only change it once every 3 months so choose wisely
gritty valley
Do any of the video players in VRC support playlists? Like youtube playlists? or does all the playlist functionality happen in game?
Anybody know of a world with really good playlist management?
blazing badger
ok ima avoid launching steam vr first
something from steam vr is casuing my vrcaht to lag with 1 second delay

vocal shard
anyone having issues with (excessively) low frames and issues with the friends list not updating properly including friends world locations?
vocal shard
i'm getting the quest this year and i already have a vrchat account ready do i have to make a new account or when i start up the quest and go into VRChat i can just sign in?
broken plover
yeah you can just sign in using your vrchat account
lofty lake
Hows everyone doing today?
vocal shard
Good and nervous lmao
lofty lake
Why?
desert gust
my internet is dying
been loading a 6mb cached empty world for 3 minutes
oop and the size of the world is gone and its at 0.00%
vocal shard
I’d rather not say.
lofty lake
You sure thats your internet pj?
desert gust
idk anymore
lofty lake
Oh. Also whay does this symbol mean in game? 
but its a question mark
desert gust
where do u guys go to find cuddly people
inner cape
any sleep worlds
blazing badger
hmm should i keep supersampling on or off for vrchat?
gentle dome
Hi all,
I am going to do a VR Bachelorette, and trying to find people interested in participating? I've been a fan of the rajjchelor and wanted to give it a go in the VR scene, so feel free to dm me if you're interested in participating or helping with the production, or ask if you have any questions about it or have feedback or ideas
sonic steeple
I need vrchat friends to tell me I'm beautiful
elfin sable
jajaja
desert gust
time to go to an empty sleep world for several hours then
vocal shard
My vr chat keeps crashing since last night the unity window appears then crashes.
opaque heron
Am I allowed to have a anti-maps thing on my avatar? I mean on Twitter we can see how bad they are
ruby needle
anti-maps?
Anything that overrides stuff for anyone but your self is not good.
Asuming it's some shaders stuff.
vocal shard
Am i the only one crashing in this way? It started happening after someone crashed me. Should i reinstall?
ruby needle
Does it happen after loading into the world?
if yes, try resetting your avatar on the website
void grove
Before the the big update there were people goin around and force changing your avatar to one that made it where as soon as you load in you crash.
spiral spade
why cant vrc devs do serversided particle checks for crashers
also anti map means anti minor attracted person
vocal shard
High particles doesn't mean crasher. But if you want to limit particles, there is an official limiter you can enable in the game files
polar rose
welp i aint retyping that
but it is rather easy to distinguish between a high particle avatar and one with a particle crasher..
there will be many zeros on the crasher one usually. i think that there should be a hard limit of 5 million particles or something, it would catch 99% of crashers.
vocal shard
fresh lance
I know a few people that use upwards to 4mil but it doesn't lag anyone. Which is surprising for VRC and it's really optimized
But it's mostly animation is what there for
vocal shard
I remember one time I went super crazy on particles with my avatar. Good times, very poorly optimized.
west yoke
I actually saw a particle crasher 3 months ago who had like 2 billion particles on his avatar, strangely enough he used it in a public lobby.
polar rose
when i start seeing/hearing suspicious animations i'll just click any user around me, and then start tabbing through every user with the arrow keys checking their Particle System avatar stat, and 99 times out of 100 if there is a crasher, i'll be able to spot it super easy
west yoke
^ yep
polar rose
i see people like that every day eternal
west yoke
I don't see people like that too often tbh
inner cape
o, yo tae
polar rose
its super common, i always report them and even more importantly: report the avatar author
fresh lance
I'm on kos list so yet I don't find many crashers
polar rose
henlo ghosto
inner cape
i figured out constraints 👻
polar rose
noice :3
inner cape
unfortunately it wasnt enough for me to get back in vr
polar rose
what were you trying to do with it again?
inner cape
nah, i managed to do what i wanted, but it wasnt, i guess "cool enough" to motivate me n unbox the vr again
polar rose
hmm o:
inner cape
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
polar rose
cant relate unfortunately, 2.5 years in and im still in VR for hours every day xd
inner cape
good for you
another thing i wanted to figure out, is if its possible to enable physics on a world object
even just a simple rigid body with gravity
polar rose
possibly , i never did try dropping a rigidbody with a collider on it
polar rose
a gaaame theoryyy
i remember waaay back in early 2018 there was a way to drop an actual pickup into the world that other people could interact with. never did figure out how that was done.
inner cape
back then you could drop entire interactable worlds from an avatar
exploits, people, exploits
polar rose
it would be cool to have interactable stuff between avatars again though, but im not sure how they'd even begin to control it
some kind of inventory system with approved props maybe
inner cape
if it needs to be approved, then it wont happen
polar rose
i meant more something like the emojis we currently have i guess
a select set of things we can take out and play with regardless of the world
idk maybe thats just silly
inner cape
ow yeah, that one would be hella useful
polar rose
i wanted it ever since the camera was added, we should have more widgets and tools in general, i think they'd add so much
simple egret
inner cape
having to add the marker and a whole toggle system is wack
polar rose
yeah, im way too lazy for that, considering im mute probably < 10% of time playing
but even for people who talk just being able to draw something out or have fun with friends..would be cool
inner cape
i rarely went mute, but when i did it was for a decent time, but now i dont do that anymore
havent used the pen in so long, oh man
polar rose
the old net IK kinda killed pens for a good while, glad they are back and readable again lol
frosty nymph
i feel like i'm really limited without a vr headset as far as communication goes, imo
polar rose
ya, desktop is hard if you are playing mute. there are some who will take you in though
inner cape
eh, i mean, waving the hands around is cool n all, but im used to it, talking is enough for me
frosty nymph
i had a nice person chat with me. i'm not mute but at the time my husband was doing a dnd campaign and it was picking up in my mic lol
rotund vortex
that's some pretty lazy spam
frosty nymph
plus at first i try to avoid speaking immediately because of trolls and whatnot
and blocked.
vocal shard
frosty nymph
ty!
inner cape
i was a desktop mute when i started the game, years ago, and i talked in the presentation room with markers, untill i learned how to talk
while it is ridiculous, i have a little bit of understanding for desktop mutes
rotund vortex
im too shy to use my mic 98% of the time so i just stay mute even with VR
frosty nymph
honestly the only reason i personally started playing recently is because i want to upload my own avatar to use when my headset ships and i have to rank up
i don't mind chatting but i feel like since i'm an irl girl i get the trolls nearly immediately most of the time, even with non-suggestive avatars.
inner cape
yooo
polar rose
i love mutes, even desktop mutes. i feel bad they find it hard to communicate so i try to interact with them as much as i can
inner cape
vr mute, i havent seen one in so long
polar rose
include them in whats going on etc
inner cape
rare bean
rotund vortex
it is?
upbeat thistle
I know actual mutes
inner cape
for me, yes
upbeat thistle
Playing the game
inner cape
ive seen them sign language people
upbeat thistle
Yes, mutes
rotund vortex
i find it easier to be a mute in VR than on desktop since it's easier to physically write than with a mouse
inner cape
theyre cool, but also deaf
frosty nymph
i can see that. desktop pen use is suffering
inner cape
agree with cyna
vocal shard
Don't the mutes think thats weird orb?
upbeat thistle
No.
rotund vortex
i usually do, at least
frosty nymph
i get the feeling a lot of people in vrchat just want hugs
rotund vortex
maybe ill make a sign saying "free hugs" next time im on
polar rose
just logged off from hugging two friends for 4 hours straight
yeah, i get that feeling too
tall light
Good for you.
inner cape
im the oppsite
vocal shard
Yes hugging feels so nice even though you can't feel anything
polar rose
it's pretty nice. i didn't expect to feel anything, but it feels really nice.
inner cape
hate touch
tall light
Its better than not being able to even go out of your room for the next 8 months...
vocal shard
What phantom touch?
rotund vortex
yeh
polar rose
some people love feeling things in vr and some hate it with a passion
vocal shard
I think it sounds neat
ashen harbor
can we make the inactive mic gray? instead of a slightly very little difference red
fresh lance
Phantom sense is nice imo, I like it but also hated it when I had pretty bad sense for weaponry and such. Pain wasnt fun
ashen harbor
that would be a nice small change
fresh lance
ashen harbor
ah ty
polar rose
new UI is inbound soon tm, maybe the mic indicator will be touched up.
fresh lance
a new UI jeez, to think we've had this same UI for so long
inner cape
its a curse when you dont want anyone to touch you, and in vrchat, people dont tend to ask
fresh lance
yeah that is tru ghost
frosty nymph
i've noticed that as well
polar rose
i cant wait for a new UI, this one is falling apart lmao
last few updates it's being more and more broken for me
fresh lance
yeah same
rotund vortex
that's what id be afraid of; the noncon touching especially when you obviously dont like it
fresh lance
Some people will stop after you back up others tend to make it a nightmare
inner cape
people do it to annoy me, cause they know i dont want it at this point
frosty nymph
i was very thankful i wasn't in vr at one point. some stranger in some kind of fnaf avatar just got in my face and did one of those animations
like the second i loaded in
frosty nymph
in the duck feeding world of all places
i was thankful that i had the game muted at the time
polar rose
i've found that anyone in a fnaf avatar is usually a kid, and they just dont understand boundaries at all. its why young ppl make me uncomfortable af in vrc.
rotund vortex
im surprised that kind of stuff isn't more common
frosty nymph
that's true, i've only had that sort of thing happen once. most of the time it's loud noises or just a simple nose boop
fresh lance
I find young kids sometimes and they do get annoying with what they do because they dont know better, legit had a kid outta no where just stab the living hell outta me when I had bad pain phantom sense. Wasnt fun but it was also what had the pain sense fade so its not as bad anymore
fresh lance
lol yea, wish i could be like that
inner cape
i dont feel unwanted touch, but still react to it out of principles
same reason why i react in desktop
fresh lance
hmmm understandable
polar rose
i have phantom touch and enjoy it quite a bit, but something i really dont like is people moving through me, that's uncomfortable af
someone just running through you on VRC omg there's nothing that triggers me more hahah
frosty nymph
yeah i'm sure that's really weird
inner cape
truuuu
vocal shard
It sounds cool but only cause all my vrchat friends are huggers 😂
inner cape
not only annoying but also demoralizing, its like youre not even there for them
pepeHands
frosty nymph
adding basic collision might be good but it could also break things i guess
polar rose
it would be cool, but oh lord people would abuse it so hard
fresh lance
Lets just get the Minecraft player collisions lol everyone just nudges each other
frosty nymph
just a simple cube on the ground with an appropriate distance might work, but you'd still probably get clipping and other movement glitches..which is a shame
fresh lance
Yeah but people do what people do. like ope ur not real Imma walk threw u and such
rotund vortex
i actually never thought of people having issues with me running through them
gonna have to try and avoid that in the future now
polar rose
it works in reverse too - me walking through others makes me uncomfortable too, i have to actively walk around people and stuff
if people are totally body blocking something i wont wanna go through them
and if 4 people surround me on all sides or something, you can pretty much guarantee i wont be moving lol
rotund vortex
just gotta sneak out between their legs
sterile ingot
I catch myself saying, "Pardon me," as I walk by.
polar rose
i always say "sorry" if i bump into or walk through someone, then i just get looked at like ????
polar rose
unintentional immersion haha
pale timber
:0
sterile ingot
Also if four people block me in, screw them I'm walking through someone.
polar rose
im rarely uncomfortable in those situations even if i feel blocked in, because it usually means something funny is about to happen
sterile ingot
I actually don't like people being all that close.
polar rose
but if i have to get out of somewhere, i'll just shut my eyes and hold fwd on joystick
rotund vortex
just hopefully you dont open your eyes to find yourself inside someone else
now that can be terrifying with floaty eyeballs and stuff
polar rose
pls no ahah
vocal shard
It can be but I'm way more scared of opening my eyes and a certain avatar is staring at me
teal fulcrum
That's interesting. I find I'm enjoying the game more having personal space turned off. I slow danced with a bear last night, it was wonderful.
west yoke
Most people do tbh
vocal shard
Yeah it gets in the way so much more than it should
polar rose
i've met many many visitors recently coming up to me saying it's their first day in the game. one of the first things i tell them to do is to turn off personal space.
i understand the importance of having the setting, but i really do not think it should be the default..
vocal shard
Absolutely not
polar rose
the people that want it off vastly outweigh the people that want it on
west yoke
I feel like it should be disabled by default but in the tutorial mention it in case people do for some reason want it on.
polar rose
you can get some amazing reactions from telling a desktop user to turn personal space off and following it up with a hug
frosty nymph
i can see why it's on by default, especially considering people getting right in my face
polar rose
if you havent tried it before, you definitely should
frosty nymph
plz no fnaf jumpscares
vocal shard
Sounds like a good idea actually tae
polar rose
i love chatting with new vrc players, and practically live in public lobbies, so i am given the great privilege of doing it regularly
pale timber
wat
teal fulcrum
The first time someone told me how to turn it off the first thing I saw was a giant skinless emaciated baby avatar all up in my business, and that was some sensory overload, lol. But otherwise, it adds so much to the game being able to interact up close with other players.
rotund vortex
seeing some people's reactions in vrc when they're using VR for the first time is really heartwarming too
frosty nymph
i got to experience that yesterday sabo
upbeat thistle
Yes @rotund vortex
vocal shard
Ooooo I can't wait for my headset
frosty nymph
someone standing in a mirror just opening and closing his hands and touching stuff. it was cute
vocal shard
Like most people of course
upbeat thistle
Awe I remember my first time
teal fulcrum
It's so goooood!
polar rose
ah yes. being there for someone's first day in VR is magical, because you know what they're feeling if you've been in VR.
upbeat thistle
I was like a kid in a coffeeshop
polar rose
being someone's first VR hug as well, omg
rotund vortex
i still stand in front of mirrors opening and closing my hands and ive had VR for months
frosty nymph
i'll let you all know when i get mine. i'm excited!
upbeat thistle
I love giving hugs
It's so fun!
When I first got vr i ran around trying to touch things
teal fulcrum
I love patting ears.
polar rose
there are so many people coming to the game right now that you can sit in the black cat and probably catch hundreds of desktop users who are having their first day, and dozens of VR users having their first day or week
speaking from first hand experience
upbeat thistle
It's beautiful
frosty nymph
that sounds so nice
upbeat thistle
I kinda wish I could have a first day experience again
Be in awe of standing in the black cat
teal fulcrum
❤️ I just got my first headset a week ago after playing once at a friend's house like 1.5 years ago
wicked ore
And I'm one of those desktop users on their first day lolol
polar rose
i've been playing 2.5 years and honestly it still feels like its my first day, VRC is just so magical :3
upbeat thistle
Yes, most certainly tae
vocal shard
The first time I tried vr was for fnafvr
I can't get enough of vrc. Just need more time
can anyone help me with my Vrchat it not working
Bad feckin decision
frosty nymph
that sounds scary ender
vocal shard
It was at a arcade while I was on vacation and I've seen gameplay of it but playing it was something else
upbeat thistle
Didn't even know the controls
frosty nymph
i'm really excited to use my own avatars from scratch just to see how they look in vr
wicked ore
Lolol
pale timber
blue :0
upbeat thistle
It was fun! @pale timber
pale timber
what was
wicked ore
I wish I was as creative to make my own avatars :((
wicked ore
Aww, what a healthy community lolol
frosty nymph
that's so nice
pale timber
o u were on?
upbeat thistle
I was in a group at the time, they were laughing with me
pale timber
do i even have u added
upbeat thistle
This is a long time ago @pale timber
pale timber
ohh
upbeat thistle
I'm talking about first vr days
pale timber
ohh ya it was super fun
upbeat thistle
Even now though getting on vrc when the Spanish inquisition at my house doesn't know I'm on is so fun and refreshing
polar rose
i remember i was off work when i get my rift, and literally spent 8 hours my first day, practically keeling over from motion sickness, but not wanting to stop
upbeat thistle
I never really had sickness
pale timber
im starting to play more since i actually have people to join off of now
upbeat thistle
Felt like home
frosty nymph
aww
pale timber
ive never had any kind of motion sickness i feel left out :(
polar rose
i had it pretty bad the first week, now i feel nothing
teal fulcrum
i f e e l n o t h i n g
vocal shard
I don't get sick at all really
ruby burrow
My first proper session in VR-Chat was 8 hours. The next one was 13. xD
frosty nymph
i hope i don't get it too badly
upbeat thistle
Is it a sad thing that I wanted to escape my folks that badly?
vocal shard
No its just relatable
ruby burrow
I never had much of any motion sickness myself. Soon stopped experiencing any at all after just a week or two.
VR-Chat in particular never caused me any.
teal fulcrum
I find the intense visual music laser show rooms incredibly satisfying
upbeat thistle
Some games though... Can make me incredibly motion sick
pale timber
i never had any :((
upbeat thistle
Hlvr does
polar rose
you should be happy Rin lol, is not pleasant!
vocal shard
Hlvr whats that
vocal shard
Oh boy
pale timber
i feel left out!
upbeat thistle
It makes me really dizzy
teal fulcrum
Are there any ...vr music videos? Made for watching in vr?
upbeat thistle
Something about the locomotion
frosty nymph
so far i've only gotten motion sick from the psvr..i hope i can keep my streak going lol
upbeat thistle
Yeah psvr is bad
ruby burrow
One of the first VR games I played a lot of was Sairento. A game where you can jump across rooms, wall run, back flip and cartwheel. I kinda jumped in the deep end.
vocal shard
You tried the different movement methods in half life Alyx?
frosty nymph
i think it's the framerate stutter that was the biggest issue
upbeat thistle
Now a lot of why I feel dizzy is because my frame rate isn't good all the time
pale timber
alyx was super scary
upbeat thistle
Combine random fealerate and those Shelly guys
ruby burrow
Oddly that particular game never bothered me much either though. The one game I do notably remember feeling sick enough to need to take a break, was Spell Fighter.
upbeat thistle
No. Just no
vocal shard
I ended up just watching a playthrough.... Now the workshop and possible Gmod VR on source 2, yes please.
upbeat thistle
Basically alyx is bad because a 1060 3gb runs out of vram
And frames go "see ya later"
pale timber
gmod?? how
ruby burrow
I loved HL:Alyx, but it is a bit more intensive than most VR games.
upbeat thistle
And if I die, the frame rate halves itself
frosty nymph
noted. i'll probably have to update my graphics card and processor before i jump into that one
upbeat thistle
Other than that
vocal shard
Gmod is made from half life. The creator said he might be interested in making a new version from half life Alyx
teal fulcrum
Is Alyx good on vive pro?
ruby burrow
Overall it's a very noob friendly game in terms of being low motion sickness, but playing any action game at low frame rates can do that to you.
rotund vortex
my god, gmod on source 2...
vocal shard
sounds horrid
rotund vortex
if they could get it to work, id be so down for it
upbeat thistle
There's a mod right
teal fulcrum
Whoa - wwas that in a public room playing mario kart?
vocal shard
There's already a working VR mod for Gmod
polar rose
i think it's pretty scuffed, at least from what i was told
vocal shard
Not the most optimized, but it works
ruby burrow
Alyx would be good on any decent HMD, but a Vive Pro would be pretty great for those dark segments.
pale timber
wait mario kart vr how i want to play
polar rose
would be nice with the HL:A VR stuff + source 2
pale timber
i was typing fast :(
teal fulcrum
Requesting mario kart map source preesu~
upbeat thistle
Mhm
pale timber
wdym mhm?
upbeat thistle
Sure....
pale timber
what..?
upbeat thistle
Jeez.. I'd hope you'd know that
It was uhm.. plastered all over the internet last year and whatnot
granite osprey
wack
teal fulcrum
omg you actually are first person in the kart 😮 that must be so disorienting!
upbeat thistle
It's not too bad
granite osprey
how do u get it
granite osprey
oh
teal fulcrum
I am so curious to see if nintendo comes out with a vr product
upbeat thistle
They won't
polar rose
i'm sure they will eventually, in the near future? mmm probably not
granite osprey
nentendo labo
teal fulcrum
upbeat thistle
It's Nintendo I'm still trying to play GameCube on my switch
What does a girl have to do to play windwaker on the go?
granite osprey
yea theere is a nentendo labo vr
ruby burrow
It's interesting that Nintendo hasn't really touched VR yet, considering how they're big on innovation, but then they're also heavily about accessibility and polish.
So I guess it makes sense.
I don't count the labo as VR. ^ ^;
granite osprey
yea
ruby burrow
Just a little stereo viewer toy.
granite osprey
its looks hella sexy doe
vocal shard
Still scared after the virtual boy
And Nintendo labo is basically the same as an oculus develpment kit 1. Wouldn't really hold up
teal fulcrum
Yeah, I think VR could be easily marketed to nintendo audience, I hope they are at least working on something.
...Did anyone play the breath of the wild expansion?
granite osprey
its like the google cardboard v2
vocal shard
Lower resolution than most Google cardboard though
granite osprey
actualy
vocal shard
Since the switch screen is 720p
ruby burrow
Ah, yeah that's definitely an added layer. The virtual boy.
Went in on that innovation too early. Anything but a safe predictable success for them in VR would hurt a lot.
polar rose
how cool would it be if they came out with something VR and actually called it the Virtual Boy 2 or something ahha
vocal shard
A few were going into VR around that time. Sega too
granite osprey
the virtual boy felt like a bric
ruby burrow
People would be pretty quick to mock a "Virtual Boy mk2", until VR is more established in general.
polar rose
i mean, i dunno. PSVR has been suuuper successful
wild oak
So there’s a limit to how many people you can have in an oculus quest server, as well as a polygon limit in the avatars. If i link an oculus quest to a pc will that change?
granite osprey
yea
vocal shard
Linking a quest to a PC essentially makes it work like a rift s
It's not limited by the quest server since it's running the PC client
granite osprey
@wild oak im pretty sure it does
wild oak
Sweet! Thanks
granite osprey
np that s waht i do and its pretty ok
late lake
Does someone here have the index and uses gestures? I had a question
vocal shard
Not me

Dang 😦
rotund vortex
i have one, ask away

index here too
late lake
Well if I understand correctly, to use animations with the index controllers you need to do the hand gesture like if you replaces with point
Is that the only way?
polar rose
yes, you make the gestures with your hand
late lake
Like the vive controllers you just used the touch pad.
Darn, I have gestures that I used normally and didn’t know if there was a way without remembering 😂
Just switched to the 2.0 trackers so I can’t use my vive controllers anymore
Besides that I love the new controllers
rotund vortex
yep, you just make the gestures but you can also lock them so you're not just making a ton of different faces on accident
vocal shard
The current avatar system requires the gestures. So for index and oculus, you have to do the gestures for real.
Soon we're getting a new avatars 3.0 system that will allow avatar makers to use the gesture system, or have a quick menu they can scroll through
polar rose
i wasn't really on board with the whole locking thing at first, but i actually really like how the index controls in VRC are currently now that i've spent some time with them
frosty nymph
can you set specific gestures or are they preset?
rotund vortex
preset with the avatar
frosty nymph
gotcha
rotund vortex
like with emotes
polar rose
if you make the avatar yourself, you can make gestures pretty much anything you want
otherwise it will be up to the creator
pale timber
oops
late lake
Honestly I like the locking system, I just don’t like having to actually know like if I set a sword appearing to point, I have to remember its point. 😭
frosty nymph
that's exciting. i really should look into tutorials for all of that stuff
late lake
Gotcha tho fair enough
vocal shard
Avatars 3.0 
frosty nymph
i know how to model, rig, and animate, i'm just not familiar with the more detailed stuff like that
late lake
True
rotund vortex
i wish i had the patience to learn how to do all that
frosty nymph
i want props
polar rose
if you already know all that, going the extra step to learn a teensy bit of unity should be real easy Cynabun
frosty nymph
o7 i'm familiar with unity too. i'm actually really excited to get started with testing and all
polar rose
sounds like you'll have lots of fun
wild oak
Is it possible to make any character as an avatar? Like shanks from one piece? Not specifically him tho. How hard is it to get a character you want?
frosty nymph
i'm hoping to get comfortable enough to make avatars on a commission basis in the future, if there's a desire for it.
polar rose
it depends on a lot of things @wild oak ..like if anybody made that character already as a model you can use etc.
making a detailed character from scratch is a large undertaking, even for a skilled 3D artist
@frosty nymph there's a massive desire for it. you should check out VRC Traders in #community-servers-old

it can be pretty overwhelming at first, but once you get comfortable with the programs you'll make progress in no time

@vocal shard i dont do any thing mean tho
ruby burrow
There's always potential for things to break. Pretty likely, probably. But the control it will be giving us will be worth fixing old stuff.
upbeat thistle
Still not nice
vocal shard
Dropping in on zoom meetings is the reason they keep adding more security
polar rose
i don't mind stuff breaking, i just don't want it to suck lol
frosty nymph
my only real concern with making custom avatars is finding a way to ensure people can't easily rip it
granite osprey
i just like learning wit da bois
frosty nymph
i was thinking about making the uvmaps incredibly annoying to edit
vocal shard
To me avatars 3.0 just seems like a straight upgrade. Everything we have now and more
pale timber
whats 3.0
polar rose
i have zero information on it so..yea. that's where i am with it.
there was a stream, i missed it, the vod has been down ever since.
rotund vortex
you can disable avatar cloning, Cynabun
harsh fog
damn i rlly just got ignored
rotund vortex
but ive heard that certain programs can skirt around that unfortunately
frosty nymph
i've heard that as well
polar rose
there used to be a method by which you set the basis shapekey to a scrambled mess of polys, and then have it undone with one of your shapekeys.
since shapekeys were hard/impossible to rip, it would mean your model would always come out a garbled mess. but that isn't recommended anymore.
i forgot why, something to do with lighting/shading i believe
frosty nymph
honestly i was just thinking of making the model stay the same, but taking the texture and scrambling it, then redoing the UV maps to fit
wild oak
Okay thanks, do you guys know any websites you can search a specific character to see if there’s a model or avatar for them ?
frosty nymph
only it would make the owner editing a complete mess, and near impossible to do themselves
polar rose
in my experience, ripping is really rare unless you kinda make yourself a target for that kind of thing
frosty nymph
i'm not familiar with that. what's it do?
polar rose
eg, hanging around with the wrong people, openly expressing how strongly you do not want your stuff to be ripped, etc.
upbeat thistle
It's just a shader that works well even if your shaders are turned off
frosty nymph
ohh i see
upbeat thistle
Or you can have a hacked standard Shader like I saw on that one website
ruby burrow
The risk of being ripped (and then actually used/distributed) depends a lot on the style of avatar you have, and whether it has any other special features.
polar rose
@vocal shard taking avatar model/files through various malicious means
vocal shard
Ah pirating avatars
polar rose
also very true Squishy
frosty nymph
honestly i don't care too much personally, but i'd hate for someone to pay really good money for a model and have it stolen
though i guess that's the risk you take when you buy something like that.
polar rose
it can't be helped much without seriously screwing with the model as you were explaining. it's up to them unfortunately, i have never had anything of mine ripped and i am always out in the wild west in vrchat (public worlds) for years now
ruby burrow
Avatars with sex appeal, or styles that appeal to the edgier crowds. Avatars that are unusual and interesting in some way, or avatars that appear high quality. Ones which have some kind of asset that could be extracted or modified, etc.
upbeat thistle
There's some avatars that I wish I could use again
polar rose
i think it really takes very specific avatars and friend circles to attract the bad kind of attention
ruby burrow
Decently made particles or animations, also draw attention.
frosty nymph
that's comforting to hear, tae. I could always add the option to scramble the uvmap if clients are really worried about it
but i've got to get there first i guess lol
polar rose
oh yeah there's also the whole not-actually-ripping-from-memory-but-actually-just-the-unity-asset-bundle methods
which will render any countermeasures completely useless
ruby burrow
Turn off Future Proofing, to prevent that.
upbeat thistle
^
polar rose
yea, for now.
but in the past, and maybe in the future, who knows what will and wont work
there have been so many changing dynamics with what can be stolen and how over the years
frosty nymph
it'll just be something people have to be mindful of as time goes on
polar rose
i generally make even my personal avatars public these days, don't really mind if my stuff gets ripped anymore, used to care a lot but i've just accepted that i'll probably end up just making something new anyway
pale timber
o
polar rose
so people can enjoy using it too if they like
ruby burrow
There's a certain scumbag "store" which lists avatars they claim to have ripped. I noticed it only contains my older public avatars, none of the private ones, and of those also only the ones I made before I knew to turn off future proofing.
teal fulcrum
What is future proofing?
pale timber
future proofing?
polar rose
it's an option in the SDK
pale timber
i should turn that off? oops
ruby burrow
In the SDK settings when uploading avatars.
polar rose
yeah highly recommended to, your uploads will be faster, and more secure from bad peoples
another default setting i dont quite understand atm xd
ruby burrow
It uploads the full source files for the avatar, rather than just the compiled/compressed form.
Or something along those lines.
polar rose
from what i remember, currently not very much in the form of benefits
ruby burrow
Means if ripped, they get far more to work with, rather than a mostly broken version.
polar rose
i dont know if it currently serves a purpose but last i asked, it didnt
pale timber
why would it be compiled if future proofings turned off
ruby burrow
( I may be using the wrong terms there )
polar rose
basically the compiled version as Squishy calls it might not run on other vrchat or unity versions
pale timber
ohhh
polar rose
if you upload the full files, technically your avatar is more futureproof to run on whatever VRC upgrades to
but in reality, VRC team does so much to try and futureproof all avatars as it is
ruby burrow
In the past it meant you could email the devs and ask them to send you your uploaded files, but I don't believe they offer that anymore, for obvious reasons regarding wasted manpower.
pale timber
oh i remember that is it gone now?
ruby burrow
I'm not entirely sure. But I'd argue it's far more sensible/practical to just backup your projects, rather than rely on maybe emailing the devs some time.
And putting up with slow uploads as a result.
pale timber
what if u lost ur files tho
ruby burrow
That's what a backup is for.
polar rose
you're probably not gonna get em either way
ruby burrow
And besides, like I said, I don't think the devs send out files on request anymore anyway.

it happens on both
fresh lance
Well I know this might be werid, but can you grab a xbox controller if you have one and plug it into your PC. VRC can use the xbox controller as a way to get around so its worth a try

i dont have one 😦

razer deathadder chroma
fresh lance
it might be the mouse, been awhile since i've used anything razer but I think there are gaming profiles or somethin, dont use anything ment for gaming as it might screw with the game
if you have another mouse might be worth it try that
slim blaze
but even if its disconnected it keeps spinning
fresh lance
can you open the menu and it still does or it just constant?
slim blaze
well in the menu its normal because in the menu you dont move the camera
fresh lance
so no movement in menu but in general thats odd. I really don't know how to help ya. I will say this tho. Put future request for help in #user-support-old
might wanna put it there and see if someone else knows more about it

It was working fine perfectly

i thought the issue was related to my ram so i ordered more. should get here friday, so i'll let you know if that changes anything

But before crashing was not heard of it immensely rare now 10-15 min or while loading
I thought it was ram too or vram
Looking at there usage nothing up normal

I don't believe it's ram

could be server hiccups

That's a possibility, I'm gonna try to see if there's a crash report somewhere

In appdata vrchat

gonna try clearing the cache and see if it changes anything

I did clear cache

yeah still crashes, must be an issue on their end since yeah we're getting the same error in the same time window here

Before shutting down I clean installed my drivers adjusted overclock
Reinstalled vrchat plus deleted the appdata files for it.
Didn't test after that.
Then that's a relief kinda but how do we inform them of the issue hmmm..
