How do I update a world?
torpid hazel
why is the audiosource so low even though it's set to maximum now
is vrchat adjusting it?
stone hollow
torpid hazel
no
should I add? VRC spatial audio source?
won't it overlap all the other sounds in the world?

can some one plllllz help
any suggestions on what to do about my unity crashing after 5 seconds of opening any project even a new one? i uninstalled and reinstalled unity to.

Delete the regedit config files as well
solemn pulsar
Sorry for asking a very basic question that i could probably find a tutorial for.. but whats the best way for me to play a sound file in a small region after hitting a button? I'm not even entirely sure how to add sounds to my world properly.
vast lantern
I've seen in some worlds (Japanese Onsen) where certain objects can float on the water. I want to recreate that effect in my world. I take it that they're applying gravity to the object with the water applying a constant upwards force against it? How do I go about doing that?
near escarp
@solemn pulsar best way to get the range you want to is create a test world and mesh with the audio source/spatial component
solemn pulsar
Im not exactly sure what to change in the spatial or audio source settings to make it louder. Would gain in the spatial component be just the sound coming out of the obejct or would it be the sound in the entire world like voice too?
supple drift
The gain setting only adds additional volume to whatever is playing in that specific audio source. The default is 10 iirc - so it's adding 10db by default.
solemn pulsar
how would i make it so the device is toggleable? And activated by everyone so people can listen to it together?
supple drift
Have the audio source be play on awake, disable it and then activate the game object with a VRC_Trigger in game!
solemn pulsar
disable as in uncheck the audio source at the top?
supple drift
You could do that and have it activate the game component, but I usually just activate the whole game object
Just make sure the trigger isn't on the same object as the audio source if you do the latter, because you wouldn't be able to trigger anything bcs it'd be disabled at start
solemn pulsar
Im going to say thanks right now but i might ask more questions later. lol
left marlin
@vast lantern You can fake it or you can actually apply forces. One fake is to have a collider animated at some height that only collides with the pickups. The way to actually apply force would be to use Phasedragon's Bouyant Objects prefab in the database. It uses some special standard assets magic to calculate the necessary physics needed to move the object to the water's surface.
vast lantern
I see. I think I'll try out the prefab first. Thank you

Hello, I have a few questions, i'm new to world creation so I appreciate all the help.
I'm planning on creating a simple world in Blender, it's a single circular room with a few objects. How should I go about it?
Do I make all the objects in the same file or separate each object?
When creating objects that have multiple textures, I keep separating the mesh and giving it its own texture, is there a better way than this?
One of the objects is a button, it'll have a small "push in" animation, do I do that through blendshapes or unity animator?
Thank you
probably should've asked this in #3d-modeling , my bad

My world build seems to be bugged. It is not building new itterations of itself. I have tried detaching the Blueprint ID, deleting and reimporting the SDK, Publishing the new build, closing and restarting unity, and lastly deleting the world and publishing the new build, but it seems to be locked at the same build regardless of what I do. I think it might be caching an old build or something? I am not sure to be honest.
Edit: Just tried making a new basic world, in a whole new scene, with only a plane and the VRCWorld component, and when testing the new build it took me to the bugged build. So leaning towards it being a chaching issue, but I am a novice at Unity.
left marlin
Do you have a compile error? That will block all builds for a project.
left marlin
There was a canny at one point to tell vrchat not to use old build but show upload error instead. This just makes it more confusing...
cyan pike
how do i go about making a button shut off an object but enable another when both objects are off by default?
supple drift
@cyan pike Do you need it to toggle between after the initial press? If not, you can add two SetGameObjectActive actions -- one to disable an object (false) and another to enable the other game object (true). Alternatively you could set them up to be in the state you want + make them the children of a disabled parent object and toggle the parent object!
cyan pike
yes
putting a lowQ mirror and highQ mirror on 2 different buttons but need them to turn off one another
supple drift
Could use the method I mentioned above and enforce the state for each version of the mirror (true or false) with two SetGameObjectActive actions on each button. You could also use one quality switch button with one SetGameObjectActive action set to toggle both mirrors which will toggle between 'em. Just gotta make sure one version is disabled at runtime for that to work.
copper edge
cyan pike
thing is i hate having mirrors on by default
supple drift
Have all of your mirror stuff (and mechanics) as a child of a game object, and have that parent disabled. You can enable it when players enter the area (with a trigger) or have another button to enable it
cyan pike
guess i could do that way

Does anyone know why my terrain would be visible to desktop users, but not VR?
The entire world is also slightly tilted, but everything is perfect on desktop
solemn pulsar
I'm doing a museum audio tour thing.. so when they push the button it reads whats on the tablet to the people in front of the tablet. I want the sound settings to be perfect for the situation. Not to overlap too much.. and not to go all the way across the map, which is seems to do despite the min/max being at the edge of that bubble there. Can anyone help me with the settings?
vestal karma
I figured it out, I think it had something to do with putting everything into a game object
supple drift
@solemn pulsar I think the issue you'll run / are running into is that audio spatialization is trying to mimic how sound works IRL, and two sources that close together will usually overlap IRL (unless they're very quiet, but then you would barely hear it even when in front of it)
You can sacrifice the ~audio realism~ + set a custom roll-off curve on the native audio source. Just gotta pop open the advanced settings of the Spatial Audio Source + check 'Use AudioSource Volume Curve' if you do that

If you got errors in Unity it will test the previous build instead. So check Unity for errors. If there is none then create a new scene and test to make sure it’s actually creating a test asset file

are the twitch streams not working or the VRChat side?

Multiple streams is a pain in the ass though

are you using a prefab or have you done the stream player from 'scratch'
ahhh
im just trying to get one going.

If you have auto start enabled then it should work instantly

is your sync type "live stream"

Yep
If you have any doubt, the setup is explained in the VRC documentation for the component

You can open multiple scenes in unity at the same time (Open scene additive). From there, you can copy/move your items from one scene to the other in the hierarchy. I recommend copying as moving will actually remove it from the other scene. @desert tangle

Could someone explain to me what "Haptic Feedback" would be? like an example?
vestal karma
Is there any major disadvantage to using a big mesh as the terrain of a world instead of actual Unity terrain?
supple drift
@vestal karma Unity's terrain engine splits up the terrain into an array that can be culled so you're not constantly drawing everything when it's out of view, one big mesh doesn't do that! It has some additional optimizations for details/grass too - if you're using that. There's a few more factors (like terrain resolution, pixel error, how many texture sets you're using, etc.) that play into the performance cost too tho so it's kind of case-dependent!

Two things. Check the console in VRChat to see what the error is. Second, check the first error in the Unity console to see if there are any compile errors. If so, fix them and try again.
Seems like the second option
Check for compile errors and fix them

jovial charm
Lol nice
royal canyon
after I figure out this Raycasting thing lol
jovial charm
Should definitely look into the particle for it then lol
Would be easier with particles I think
left marlin
portal gun laser tag? wat
royal canyon
well with raycasting it allows an object to be spawned and allows it to have animations and triggers, which is what I want. I want the portals spawned to be actual 'TeleportPlayer' triggers :3
left marlin
Shoot people with portals?
jovial charm
Or a combination of the particle and raycast, particle for the visuals and raycast for the damage trigger
royal canyon
shoot people with Portal Guns that teleports them back to the resoawn haha
left marlin
I still suggest looking into the instagib prefab from Octuplex
jovial charm
Ahhh
left marlin
It doesn't have portals but it does have raycasts and combat
royal canyon
oh yes Cyan I'm definitely going to use the Instagib prefab for the laser tag. But I'm going to use the Raycast prefab from Phase to spawn the 'clickable'** portals. I don't think that I could replace the player that was shot with a portal, but that's okay. As long as I can hit them with a green laser and teleport them, I'll be happy.
left marlin
Instagib already has a blue laser. You could do some other things to spawn a portal below them, but that would be visual only as the player would already be "hit" and teleport.
royal canyon
I like Octu's Instagib prefab because it respawns the gun after 5 seconds
visual only for the player left behind would be pretty cool
it'd be like I shot them with a portal gun, teleported them to another dimension, and left a portal behind lol it'd look so awesome I think haha
left marlin
add some shader/animation magic that every time you get hit, the world changes color.
locally*
royal canyon
Yeah that's something out of my league right now I think, unless there's a good tutorial out there somewhere haha
I'm still pretty new man I've only been making worlds for like a little over a month or two
left marlin
Shaders would be too much. Animations would be easy
royal canyon
would that be like activating something on the VRCWorld camera via animation?
left marlin
Basically you have an animator controlling the material of all your scenery (depends on how much you have). On hit, tell the animator to move to the next material.
royal canyon
holy crap I didn't even know that was possible haha
left marlin
You can animate what material is on a renderer, so it's not much
royal canyon
is that the materials under the mesh renderer? I'm assuming "Size" of 2 would allow 2 materials to be switched between, am I wrong?
left marlin
The mesh determines the number of materials the object needs. You don't need to change the size (and really shouldn't ever unless the mesh requires it). What you would do is go to the animation tab, create a new animation, start recording and just replace the material with the one you want. You can either drag it to the object or to the slot in the renderer.
jovial charm
Could he also use a post processing volume effect to change the world for a few seconds then turn it off
left marlin
That could also work
There are lots of ideas. You just need to be creative and find the one you like.
jovial charm
Yup lol I'm glad we can use post fx volumes now makes it so I can make my fog areas look better with less performance cost and under water be slightly blurry and blue hue
royal canyon
I didn't know there was Post Processing Volume, bruh I still have to learn so much hahaha but it's to be expected. I still don't know the potential of what can be done with Unity and VRChat
jovial charm
Yeah there's always something new to learn lol been doing this for about a year and a half and still learning
royal canyon
I'd also like to somehow implement a pickup drop on respawn too so they don't bring the gun with them I guess
I started learning a few months ago and had my first world done in a few weeks, I was really proud of it because I created a Treasure Hunt game that opens a locked door after collecting 20 items. The number of items can be changed and so can the animation. Just takes some tweaking.
and from here on out, the REAL fun begins >:)
jovial charm
Nice u got it
royal canyon
thanks to you and Cyan yeah lmao
if I didn't have help I'd still be doing other crap that I thought was the solution to the issue.
bold ibex
Anyone knows how to make it so if I grab like a key and put it against a door it will open?
royal canyon
@bold ibex you'd probably need to use Collider animation for that
bold ibex
Collider animation?
royal canyon
Yes. So when the Key's collider touches the door collider, it will trigger a door open animation
You'd have to have a Door Closed Idle animation and Door Open Idle animation
and then set up the colliders
and link an Animator
so the door animation would default to Door Closed Idle animation until the two colliders touch then it would trigger the Door Open Idle animation
I'm pretty sure you can set it so ONLY the key collider touching the door collider triggers the animation
@left marlin I managed to get the Instagib prefab in there but it isn't respawning the Player.
Hm, just figured out I needed to add something to my dynamic prefabs, let's see if that works.
woven condor
@bold ibex this should help, part about trigger layers, place key on new layer and trigger door animation with it.

royal canyon
such a great tutorial
woven condor
Yes cyanlaser make some awesome vrchat tutorials, I learn much from them
short gulch
Ok so for some context I have a dump truck in my world that I want to kill the player if they get run over by it. It just circles the map on a set path. I already have a box collider on the front of it, and I'm already using Jet dog's prefabs for guns, so the health system is imported and everything, how do I go about making that box collider kill whoever it touches?
Probably stupidly obvious but ive tried a few different ideas and the player just doesn't die
lavish aspen
Anyone else having issues with custom shaders appering pink in VRChat but normal in Unity?
royal canyon
if it uses an unsupported script, it won't show up in VRChat
ornate turret
@short gulch if its an enter trigger, set it to detect the player local layer (and also make sure on the collider the checkbox for "is collider" is ticked)
royal canyon
look who it is, Mr @ornate turret himself lol how ya goin
ornate turret
doing good, thanks 🙂
royal canyon
Couldn't you use a OnEnterTrigger to Teleport the player to an Empty Game Object position?
ornate turret
Brandon is using a health system so it depends on how thats being handled. If its the combat system in the sdk (the one that ragdolls players), you just set the damage in the trigger
if its a different one, it might need an animation trigger/ int etc
to control the damage
dont have much info besides that they're using a health system
royal canyon
oh I misread, I didn't see he had a health system, sorry
but normally without the health system it'd be easy to PlayerLocal / TeleportPlayer with OnEnterTrigger
ornate turret
yeah
tbh, you would do that with a health system that isn't the vrc combat system anyways
lavish aspen
Im not using any scripts Im using Unitys builtin UI shader and a clock shader and they all apper Pink in the latest SDK
ornate turret
but the teleport would be placed in the 0hp animation instead
𝔅𝔩𝔞𝔠𝔨𝔥𝔢𝔞𝔯𝔱 there are issues with the default unity sprite shader so it could be something similar, current fix for the sprite is to just use a custom one
but I wonder if its the same issue to what you're having
(assuming it doesnt go pink due to not have an image/texture on it)
lavish aspen
welli guess i cant show you cause no links so oh well
But its my TV prefab and one person says its all pink while in my old worlds its fine but in a new world i uploaded it has this issue aswell as my real time clock that i got has the same issue
anything thats not Standard or Unlit has issues
Tried building from both Windows and macOS and same issues
ornate turret
yeah sounds like the current bug similar to sprite renderer shader
where default ones are broken on new worlds
only solution I know is to replace the shader with another that does the same thing
(only if its the same problem)
lavish aspen
great....... any sort of fix any time soon?
ornate turret
it was being looked at according to canny
but that was sprite renderer specific
so it depends if devs know about the rest or not
worth making a canny for it
lavish aspen
will do
i reported it slash p slash standard-unity-ui-shader-and-others-appears-pink
short gulch
Thanks a lot for the help, I'll try it out later. I considered doing the teleport idea, but that truck moves fast and I think teleporting would be too sudden and you would just be left wondering what just happened. Thats why I wanted the death screen instead, so if it hits you from behind you can at least see it driving away and possibly flinging your body to the sidewalk or something.
ornate turret
set the teleport on a delay with a custom trigger
and have the death screen display first
left marlin
That sounds like you really just want the combat system’s default behavior.
marble thunder
I can't get my damn area light to work.
cedar nebula
area lights have to be baked. If you've already tried that then #world-lighting will probably know a lot more about the problem
jovial charm
@royal canyon u could use an onavatarhit to cause the teleport?
ornate turret
I wouldn't recommend onavatarhit for teleporting
it causes problems with the target location for teleporting
has chances of throwing the player way offcourse
especially with something like a moving truck to teleport the player
left marlin
On avatar hit itself may not be the issue, but if the object is moving, it will add velocity to the player which teleporting does not remove.
ornate turret
I never tried it but how about a delayed teleport on a custom trigger?
does that avoid the velocity issue?
left marlin
If the player is moving, they will still have the velocity on teleport. Basically any rigidbody moving the player or falling due to gravity.
vestal karma
Does anyone know why a custom detail mesh on a terrain would be invisible/non existent? I figured this out before, but I don't actually know what fixed it.
buoyant hollow
Iirc it only works if the detail is a prefab or mesh (not child with mesh of a object)
Also double check in terrain settings if you have terrain details enabled
vestal karma
I figured it out. Nothing was wrong with my mesh, I had made the terrain as a mesh and used a script that turns a mesh into terrain, but it didn't include proper collider data.
Except now I have to re-do most of my terrain, RIP
delicate grotto
Hi, my friend cant test his world because it keeps saying "Can not load (world ID) because it doesnt exist", how can we fix it nowadays? I looked online and it said a script breaks it, but its using no scripts
cedar nebula
'script' in that case means scripts from asset packs. You might not actively be using that script but if its in the project it can still break things. Usually the error messages you get in console will specify where it is in your assets

- How might I go about disabling shadows?
- How can I disable momentum on an object (so if you let go, it just floats there ant wont move)?

alright cool
bold ibex
Are you able to recreate a game like Baldi's Basics or FNaF (in VR) in unity for vrchat and upload it and if you are able. How?
I am a noob in coding.
Just want to know if it is possible
buoyant hollow
vr chat doesn't use coding. I'm sure using animators and whitelisted scrips you could pull off something like it.
bold ibex
I've seen some tutorials on making avatars and it involves a lot of coding like in shaders and stuff.
left marlin
Making shaders is optional. Usually people just find existing shaders and put them on the avatar.
stone hollow
Shaders are about as close as you'll get to programming in vrchat
bold ibex
oh
left marlin
You can get into proxy coding through ui buttons and animators but that's next level world stuff
bold ibex
Then it must be pretty simple making a world and avatar
left marlin
A basic world and avatar is simple. Making them interactive or optimized is difficult
bold ibex
Btw. Why does not the SDK work with everything? I am reading the whitelisted world components
left marlin
Because VRChat doesn't allow custom code.
They won't let you upload those items. Mainly because of security.
bold ibex
Yeah I know that it does not allow custom code
I wanted to say something but I forgot. Sorry. Thank you for helping me

hey does anyone know how to make objects global instead of local in a world in unity (trying to make a world on vrchat but objects are in different places for everybody)

@jovial charm it's SilVR's water prefab, amazing stuff.
tried to make the floating object prefab work with it but to no avail, yet lol
It's not really imperative I get it done either, just something I thought was a cool idea.
left marlin
What's wrong with it? It looked like it was working in your gif.?
I assume you would just need to impose limits
royal canyon
lol well I don't know how to make it bounce off the waves in the pool, so it goes right through
that's possible?
left marlin
you will never get it to "bounce" off the waves. The waves aren't real geometry to affect the world.
It's all shader based and we have yet to find a way to go from shader back to trigger.
royal canyon
oh no I meant it won't bounce off the side of the pool is what I mean
left marlin
Oh, are you sure you have colliders set up properly?
royal canyon
I'm not sure, I don't even know if it would work in theory, but I set up the Buoyant Object prefab and changed the Object to the duck. I also wanted to add a reset button (because it's a pickup object), but that didn't work. So my flaws are:
-Duck will not stay inside the pool
-I'm using the resettable object prefab to reset the "Buoyant Object" prefab, and it sends it shooting off into space lol
left marlin
uh I don't know if I ever bothered making my resettable object prefab generic enough to change it.
Scene reset position is the main component that resets it. As long as you call it when you need it, it will reset fine. (Owner needs to call it if it is on a synced object)
You can keep the duck within bounds with proper colliders and things.
royal canyon
this is what I have in the Hierarchy for the duck prefab. I'm not sure which one is supposed to have the collider. Should I make it a box collider or what? The animator contains a Capsule Collider.
it's toggled off, though.
left marlin
That's for the standard asset magic and should be ignored.
I assume the rigidbody is the pickup
That should be your box collider and the resettable object.
cedar nebula
from the clip it looks like its the wall itself that doesn't have a collider?
royal canyon
Yes, Rigidbody is the Pickup, so I should put a box collider on the Rigidbody object in the hierarchy?
left marlin
You should have a collider on it if you can pick it up.
Also what Igbar said.
royal canyon
@cedar nebula the pool has a mesh collider, box colliders won't work since it's essentially a hollowed out cube lol
cedar nebula
you looked like you walked right through it though, is it on a layer that doesn't collide with players and/or pickups?
woven condor
@royal canyon use 5 box collider for pool, make better performance than mesh collider

If you can’t upload, I don’t think other users can visit it.

Then you can make an invite link or join the world and invite people.

Quick question: ever since I installed Post Processing V2, my world refuses to compile. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried deleting and reinstalling the VRC SDK already.
Nevermind, I'm a dumbass and didn't delete the tests folder.
marble field
what version of post processing is used by vrc now?
slow orbit
You can use both v1 and v2, but you should be using v2 as it has more flexibility and prevents certain problems from happening (such as stopping NaN problems)

I mean what exactly version of V2?

A better one with useful fixes

I guess I should use exact the same version as vrc uses in it's build to avoid any issues, that's why I asking.

So I am having problems updating my world. The sounds on it is too quiet so i fixed it in Unity. BUT it will not update at all? I tried reinstalling the SDK, made sure I am using the current unity and that, detaching the blueprints and inputting it again and even doing a new scene. But, when ever I try uploading it, it doesn't go through at all. The numbers of people in the room does, but the room itself doesn't. So I tried uploading it again with a different blue print and it worked but that world is private and the one I am trying to get working is already public. Been public for months. Is the blue print to that broken or something?

is there any way to make a trigger to make a sound global?
and toggle between?
for instance, I have a videoplayer and I wanted to make a trigger for people to make it global if they wanted to
royal canyon
toggling a sound between global and local?
if that's possible I wanna know too
lol
supple drift
You might be able do that by controlling the audio source's volume parameter with an animation/animator. Basically, how you trigger the animation (that sets the volume from silence to your desired volume) is where you'd deal with the broadcast type or whether it's local or not.
torpid hazel
what if I put another audio source connected to the player with bigger range and make a trigger to turn in off/on?
royal canyon
That's a good idea, a secondary sound source. OnInteract toggle for the global. Keep the local as default.
supple drift
Try it! You'd have to make sure both local + global (buffered) aren't playing at the same time for anyone or else it could get loud. I'm also not sure if they'd rlly sync well either - but doesn't hurt to test it out! 🌞
Performance aside, there are benefits of using one audio source bcs at some point Unity's audio engine starts cutting off audio sources based off it's priority if too many are playing at once + avatar sounds and player voices count toward that too!
torpid hazel
okay, it works but
it only starts working if you play the next video
if there's one video playing and you toggle it on it won't work until the next video, that's what I mean
royal canyon
hmmm, I guess that's just a quirk you'll have to notify others of

I'm using pbr textures on a wall with a height map on the standard shader. It has worked fine on all the walls until now, but I moved some vertices around and added some geometry and suddenly on of the walls is a metallic looking mess (for lack of a better word, metal means something different in this context) that warps and looks like you're looking into a black hole when you get get close to it. Like everything warps away from the center of the screen. I wish I could make a gif to demonstrate but I'm at work. I understand that the Unity implementation of parallax height mapping is a naive optimized approach that just pushes UVs around, but I'm not looking for accuracy, I just want to figure out why one wall is completely broken compared to the others. Is it possible I've bent a quad in a way that has made something concave?
or could it be something to do with normals?
or is there a restriction against overlapping uvs?
here's a screen of what happens when you get close from a similar issue I found on google, but the person didn't really get an answer to the problem
stone hollow
Is there any specific reason you need a heightmap in the first place?
A simple wall like that would work way better with a normal map
valid ember
it's a rock wall that looks very flat without it
and that's not my screen
I'm not at home so I can't take one, I grabbed that from a similar issue I found
one sec
it's this wall texture. the height map makes it look really good in vr from most angles
stone hollow
A normal map would work fine
quartz hinge
You cant do anything about that heightmap issue. Remove it and if you know what you are doing try tessalation instead. But if you crank the subdivisions up too much it has a huge impact on the performance.
quartz hinge
I ended up using a normal map too but for a cobblestone wall tessalation gives a much better result.
valid ember
normal map colors it based on lighting angles, height map displaces uvs based on viewing angles. this asset has both and without one it looks really flat in vr
quartz hinge
I can only suggest to add a toggle button for the tessalation feature so clients with weak hardware can disable it.
stone hollow
At that point just model the detail tbh
quartz hinge
also a good idea.
stone hollow
Fair
valid ember
I'm throwing on pbr texture assets I find online
stone hollow
You can probably do a heightmap to 3D model
I'd assume someone made something like thay
valid ember
true
quartz hinge
in that case you could even generate some LODs
valid ember
but I think it's over complicating the issue. it looks great, but I moved something and now one wall looks broken. I was hoping someone else had a similar issue
stone hollow
I see it all the time I just don't think there's a fix
quartz hinge
agree...
valid ember
then why does it work everywhere else?
quartz hinge
maybe they use displacement and not heightmap
valid ember
no, everywhere else on my map
quartz hinge
really? I never got it working without distortion at close range.
stone hollow
It's to do with viewing angles
The closer you get to any heightmap the more it breaks
quartz hinge
thats it. for objects far away it works fine.
valid ember
works perfectly everywhere, I use it mostly on walls you're walking parallel to as you're walking down stairs
but I'm pretty sure it's something dumb like an overlapping uv that is breakign their uv displacement algorithm.. or a surface that isn't flat
stone hollow
Maybe the latter
valid ember
if it "never worked anywhere" it wouldn't be on the standard shader
stone hollow
No one said it never worked, just that it's volatile
near escarp
Because 99.9% of people don't use one
stone hollow
And that it's common
quartz hinge
A quick google search gave me that:
It could be an issue with normal's and/or tangents not solving correctly on the mesh. normal maps do some pretty strange things when the tangents aren't solved correctly. its strange its only close up tho, are you using LOD on your model? maybe the high res model is messed up. or the mipmaps of normal map texture weren't generated correctly.
valid ember
I think there's just a correct way to use it that I don't understand
and I want to understand those restrictions and not give up
no LOD
near escarp
don't use one if you are moving around and not facing it straight, use a normal map
stone hollow
If the normal map it comes with is lacklustre try making your own or replacing the material entirely

@royal canyon That would make sense. Annoying, but makes sense.

@bold ibex Yeah the UI gets a collider at runtime so you can raycast onto it. You can add your own box collider to the same object as the UI_Shape and resize it how you want
royal canyon
idk when I read "put your urls in a playlist" I kinda knew that implied single video links, not a YT playlist link, cuz the player can't pull a single MP4 from a playlist linking to other videos

Do I need to use both Player and PlayerLocal for my low quality mirror? I currently have it set to reflect Player, but nothing is reflected when testing.
bold ibex
cool, thanks
mild spade
@marble thunder MirroReflection is to see yourself in mirror, Player is to see other players (from your view) PlayerLocal is not needed.
marble thunder
Brilliant. Thanks.

whenever i reupload my world it gets yeeted back into com labs whats up with that?
torpid hazel
what's enough in the mirror reflections to see the player?

Player, mirror reflection

So I want to put a computer in a world and have a mouse that I can move my mouse cursor on the screen and I can conceptualize how I would have the mouse move the cursor left and right because that seems simple enough I mean both of them are moving along the same axis in the world, but having the mouse move forward end move the cursor up along the y-axis is giving me some trouble. I don't think something like that would be possible, would it?

Anyone who would be able to help with implementing a video player into a world that will accept URLs from in-game, can be paused/played and has volume control? I've seen them around but have no idea how to implement one myself
cedar fjord
bold ibex
I fixed that by deleting the old VRCSDK folder, then reinstalling the new SDK.
bold ibex
I keep getting a warning that "mirror reflection does not have meta pass - maps are taken by name"
anyone know what that is?
oak lake
Thanks @stable glade it works!
You can download new SDK Here! https://www.vrchat.net/home/download

Is anyone else having an issue with Building & Testing a world offline and also publishing a world. I click the buttons in the menu but they dont do anything (This is after I updated to the most recent SDK.) Unsure if its just me or if others are having this issue to. Apologizes if im repeating a question answered before
hardy nest
My Disgaea world is up on community lab
glossy ice
Anyone have an sdk issue of after you optimize the world unity just dies and takes 30secs in between clicking anything, even after restarting?
bold ibex
No, I just updated my world and it's fine, is it a new world you making?
And does it happen when you first click build world button? if so I sometimes find it crashes a couple of times but then it decides to just work.
Also @foggy sandal it might be a good idea to completely remove the SDK and re-import I sometimes find when updating something does break and this is the best way to resolve the issue. From what I know this is more of a Unity issue then a VRchat issues, but I could be wrong.
foggy sandal
ill give it a try
bold ibex
Cool, let me know if it works 🙂
solemn pulsar
yo i just want to say thanks for anyone that has ever helped me in here.
ya'll the best.
errant pike
Any idea as to why whenever I try to upload the world for "Offline testing" it uses an old build of the world and not the current one?
bold ibex
Have you hit new build and not last build?
errant pike
Yep
left marlin
(Check console for build errors)
errant pike
and I just updated the SDK I was using as well
bold ibex
^^^^
left marlin
Also, who will be the first person on live sdk to claim you can’t test offline?
cedar nebula
why did you say that in parenthesis, what are you hiding Cyan
errant pike
Umm actually it's saying the world doesnt exist
left marlin
(Because I can)
cedar nebula
(you're stinky)
left marlin
(Im at work still. I need to be quiet or my manager will take my phone away /s)
cedar nebula
(ah okay, do your best)
left marlin
Oh wait, it’s after hours and he already left.
bold ibex
Ermmmmmmmmm, world doesn't exists, that's a new one for me. save and restart Unity and try again, that's the best I can do on that one.
left marlin
Yeah seriously, check your unity console for compile errors. That’s usually the problem.
errant pike
Yeah I see an issue with post processing I'll fix that and then see if my world will decide to exist LMAO
left marlin
Did you delete the test folder?
bold ibex
^^^^
cedar nebula

left marlin
Sorry Igbar. You need a macro for that
cedar nebula
hell it's actually pinned in this channel lol
foggy sandal
Don't think that fixed my issue, even updated to the new SDK and deleted the old one in my project before installing it. Seems to always just be stuck on "Importing Web Objects" in the Console. Seems doing "Last Build" works. Although atm I can't build and publish either due to this
Hmm, it seems to be specific to only my one project, interesting
solid helm
I wonder how many times I need to repeat don't extract the tests folder in my guide
solemn pulsar
i got it right somehow if you're talking about the post processing one. lol

Anyone have a generic idea of what kind of lighting is good for a chill world? I've got an RV that I'm moving lights around in.. and for some reason I got some anxiety from realizing the yellow lights probably aren't that relaxing. Is blue lighting a little better for just relaxing/watching videos/chatting? What kind of secrets am I unaware of at this moment?
jovial charm
Depends on the environment @solemn pulsar
cedar nebula
don't use straight yellow, go for oranges and dim
jovial charm
Blue is nice in a dark environment
While oranges are better for a slightly more lit environment
Just darker tones of colours, and whichever works better for your world
solemn pulsar
Its an RV.. with a TV in it. lol
i was thinking less light too.
and its raining, obviously.
jovial charm
Blues give more of the hint its night time to ur environment also
Ahhh yeah it'd try it with ah darkish blue
Or just on the blue light side just not too bright
And maybe add some post processing to help?
solemn pulsar
oh yeah i forgot i dragged that in.
jovial charm
Yeah post processing will help alot
solemn pulsar
How do I set up this iwaSyncVideo player?
I tested it by just dragging the v2.2s in and when i clicked video it just disappeared so im assuming that aint it chief.
cedar nebula
check the readme? I think you have to make it a dynamic prefab though or something. One of these days I'll actually try it myself so I can help debug
solemn pulsar
the readme is japanese i thought lol
cedar nebula
well yeah but it's 2019, either weeb up or use Google translate
solemn pulsar
i aint no weeb and i dont know who said i was
alright google translate.
save me.
torpid hazel
is there a way to make the lightining in a world go inconsistent as if the sun is being blocked by clouds occasionally?
royal canyon
@torpid hazel not sure if 3D clouds would block a Skybox's light, but that's worth a try to animate them
that'd be the only way I knew how
vast lantern
How do you create an irregular shaped onEnter/ExitTrigger collider? overlapping box colliders don't seem to work for me
royal canyon
Could you use a Mesh Collider?
vast lantern
I think I could, I'll try that out
thanks
Also do pickup objects have to be on the pickup layer?
Can I set it to the mirrorreflection layer to stop it from blocking the ui
royal canyon
as far as I know they do have to be on the pickup layer. & I'm not sure about the mirrorreflection layer, sorry :/
I've only been at this stuff for a few months lol
royal canyon
is the newest version of the SDK necessary to upload worlds or can I continue using the release before the new one?
I just don't want to switch over in the middle of finishing my world's updates and all
stone hollow
Updating sdk isnt necessary but I'd highly recommend it
It shouldn't break anything
royal canyon
is there anything new about it? lol
I mean besides the UI update, I've seen a few people having problems with it
stone hollow
What problems?
It's just reccomended becuase it can sometimes prevent you from uploading
If you can upload fine then stick to it
royal canyon
I'll update it on my next project whether it's an Avatar or World
stone hollow
👍
mild spade
@vast lantern The pickup layer makes it so that players cant collide with it (and send them flying) It doesnt need to be in that layer. If you set any object to the layer "MirrorReflection" it will be invisible to the players but visible to mirrors and cameras only.
bold ibex
https://gyazo.com/88e672702408dbbc86b835c336331a74 im on a new sdk this happens
jovial charm
@torpid hazel u could use a post processing volume to make the map darker with an animation at random intervals to turn on and enable lightning and some cloud particles
royal canyon
@mild spade thank you for that information. So useful!
@jovial charm where is the Post Processing Volume? Can you link it to a UI slider?
jovial charm
possibly
with the same way u would for global
the info for post processing volumes can be found in silents guide
volumes are just u can set it up in areas u want
like i have it under my water in my world and it makes ur vision have a blue hue and some bluriness
jovial charm
just placed the volume under my water
royal canyon
It'd be nice if we could do it with audio too, to make it sound like you're under water haha
jovial charm
its under my terrain too but noone should be under my terrain unless they really wanna glitch through lol
i think u can do some stuff with audio to do that sorta
not like super well but u can mess with it a bit
royal canyon
It'd be a cool effect but I think it'd be a headache to mess with haha
solemn pulsar
@cedar nebula You or anyone else know why IwaSyncVideo spawns the video has huge.. but when I unhide the SpawnVideo its the same size as the trigger?
cedar nebula
I think it spawns a prefab so if you resized the player you need to resize the spawned-in prefab as well
solemn pulsar
This is my iwaSyncVideo and the unhidden SpawnVideo next to each other.
This is the spawn video in game.
maybe its something like i should show the spawnvideo and spawnstream before scaling it down?
i fixed it by scaling the SpawnVideo down more than I wanted.. and now its about where I wanted it. lol
jovial charm
i think its something to do with the spawn anchor part of the player
cant remember ik ive messed with it a bit but dont remember exactly what i did
for having it not spawn so high up
solemn pulsar
should I just delete scripts that are causing me problems or would that cause me more problems?
royal canyon
what kind of problems are they causing you?
& I'd get rid of any script causing me any sort of problem
that's just me though
and who knows if it'll cause more problems
just gotta test it
solemn pulsar
not sure but i deleted it and now the vrchat sdk only says clear cache.
How do I fix that? lmao
jovial charm
what script did u delete?
if u deleted one from the sdk then u gotta delete the whole sdk and reimport it
solemn pulsar
i couldn't remember what it was called.
But deleting the sdk mightve helped.
stress is.. over.. for now.
Thanks.
jovial charm
yeah be careful of what ur deleting make sure its not part of the sdk
royal canyon
I wouldn't stress myself out over anything bud. If it works out, it works out. If not, then find a way to fix it. If you can't fix it, move on. That's what I do at least lol I won't say it's not stressful at times, but try not to dwell on it too much. 🙂 Health is first and foremost, and that includes mental health. Over-stress is not a good place to be, I've been hospitalized from it before.
halcyon wren
Is there a reason that people don't lower the near clipping plane other than the fact that they don't know about it
jovial charm
Probably just not knowing about that stuff
Some barely even know about far clipping plane
halcyon wren
it would be nice if people knew about it more, a lot of world's instantly get 10 times better when you can actually see the stuff that's right in front of your face
vale steeple
ive always set mine to very minimum
halcyon wren
I went through the new section last night and out of like 100 worlds 2 were changed and one of them was just changed a tiny bit
vale steeple
Most people making worlds dont know much about creating worlds tbh
near escarp
No reason to change the clipping plane in most cases
vale steeple
Cant kiss your homies goodnight if you're halfway inside their head :(
near escarp
.3 gets you inside their head ?
halcyon wren
There's also no reason to not change it
and it makes the world a ton better for the people who do care about it
hardy kraken
Hello, I was wondering how long do I need to wait for a map to be accepted from the lab.
Cause some of my maps, got accepted within a day, and in some cases I'm still waiting after weeks.
near escarp
labs is automatic
hardy kraken
Which makes me curious even more.
Cause one of my maps, has been published to the Lab 2 months ago, and another map which I had published months later, got approved under a day.
hardy kraken
It's kind of killing me inside, that my maps ain't really visited that often.
jovial charm
dont take it too hard it happens, they only ever really popular when they are released but slowly get less visits as time goes on and it isnt on the new list
ull still get ppl who will favourite it tho
dont make worlds just expecting them to be popular, make them cause u have fun making them is best suggestion i can give ya
jovial charm
is that unity terrain or made in blender or something?
hardy kraken
It's a W3D terrain.
jovial charm
ah
hardy kraken
It's a port of a map.
hardy kraken
I did quite alot of work on the maps.
And it's FPS stable for most of the people I showed the maps to.
jovial charm
yeah i have a map i put about 6 months into but its not visited too much, lol went back into community labs cause of that
hardy kraken
It's just, not getting attention it deserves .-.
But I guess that's because I don't make avatar world, and propably because mirror position is not that obvious for some people.
bronze smelt
That's up to each one to decide though.
jovial charm
yeah thats what happens with alot of the ported maps :/
only ones that really stick around are some avatar maps and, game maps
hardy kraken
Something tells me that even IF I make an Avatar World, it still won't get any attention.
Kinda makes me want to give up.
jovial charm
as i said before dont make worlds for attention/popularity, make them cause u have fun making them
bronze smelt
The thing is, you can't just make something, publish it and except people to go there all the time. You got to advertise for it, invite people, interact with those that are in the world.
jovial charm
yeah most of my worlds i just hangout in with my friends and have fun in them, i dont expect them to be popular i make them to have a place to hangout and have fun with friends
only 1 world i made was really made with the idea of other ppl playing in them but ive gotta fix some of the baking and stuff in it and finish up on some animations and other systems in the world even then i dont expect them to be popular
hardy kraken
I'm way too shy to meet new people.
short gulch
Don't let that stop you!
You could post a join link here in discord and I'm sure at least a few would check it out
hardy kraken
Some files in the project might be conflicting another, causing that to happen.
You might be forced to remove some stuff from your unity project.
Or reinstall VRCSDK clean way.
Or both.
But it's not about assets, it's more about a script.
Assets in the project will not exactly affect stuff which is in the hierarchy, but from what I understand.
Some of the things might be referencing to some files which might have either a corruption or a conflct.
Not really sure in your case honestly, cause I don't know what kind of files you have in the project.
Did you install the Standard Asset Pack? Cause the console refers to them, but it might be that some of the assets ported parts of it but not everything.
I belive it might be the case.
It was the case sometimes for me, that some of the assets I had ported, were porting standard asset files.
Which didn't get all of the references so unity had no idea what to do with them.
If you are not using them, you could remove the files which it's calling out, and see if it fix itself.
If those files are important hovewer, you might want to download Standard Assets, it's on unity store, and it's free.
jovial charm
Delete the scripts from the file location it says in the error @bold ibex
hardy kraken
Either way, should work.
He means you should remove the files, which it's mentioning
jovial charm
It is needed for some world stuff just those scripts it has added conflict with the sdk
jovial charm
Yeah in the standard assets folder find the scripts folder and delete the scripts the error is showing
hardy kraken
It's kinda annoying, when you get an assets, and it ports part of the standard assets.
royal canyon
@bold ibex, in the Terrain settings you can input more than 1 texture and you can go into paint mode on it, too.
no worries! 🙂 I don't mind helping at all dude!
one sec
so under the Paintbrush icon in the Terrain inspector you'll see "Edit Textures", click on that and it'll open the ADD TERRAIN TEXTURE box, you just click on Select and select your terrain image. You can find some good high res ones on Google Images. But once you have 2 textures in there, you can paint between the two to your hearts content. @bold ibex
a solid swatch? just a solid color?
I would just go to Assets > Create > Material and just change it to a solid color
royal canyon
I don't think you can hide parts of the terrain, no
you'd have to make custom mesh in Blender and also texture paint it in Blender
royal canyon
as an FBX, preferrably. With texturing if you do it inside Blender.
@near escarp I'll be showcasing my world Sunday at the CM 🙂
near escarp
awesome !
jovial charm
Ah nice haha ill be going to this weeks community meet up hopefully @royal canyon
royal canyon
yes in Blender you can literally paint your mesh lol
jovial charm
Change ur far render distance on ur reference camera @bold ibex
Yes
No ur camera that is set as ur reference camera on ur world descriptor
Most likely its the main camera that unity has default in the scene
U gotta set it as the reference camera in the world deacriptor then @bold ibex
