create an empty object with your name what you want as teleport exit point than add vrc_trigger by your clickable object than add OnInteract and than Actions you musst select TeleportPlayer
remote summit
gaunt pier
yeah write me dm when you need help
i have the problem my hands gets early invisble in vr mode in my new world
when i get with the hands to my face
@latent glacier mee too now maybe unity servers down
gaunt pier
i get everytime unity crash by upload and publish my world can someone help?
empty sparrow
Turn off future proofing?
Idk if that matters as much with worlds i just hear crashing on upload and thats my first thought
U want it off to be clear
And then check ur unity console for errors
sacred warren
Future proofing should be off for everything else you're going to have a bad time.
latent glacier
make sure you only have one sceen that will cuse crash as well
gaunt pier
its now uploading im waiting and than look
empty sparrow
Good to kno it matters for worlds too!
gaunt pier
Content Succesfully Uploaded!
empty sparrow
Sweeet!
sacred warren
Tada
gaunt pier
Thanks
sacred warren
Do you have lighting enabled in Unity?
latent glacier
no
gaunt pier
i have tried my world when i get my arm up then i can look in the shoulders how i can solved it?
https://www.vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_7099fd2f-a87f-40b7-a6bb-d1146985ae14
maybe someone can join the world and look what issue i mean when try arm up oder hands to face.
empty sparrow
@gaunt pier https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/6u64yp/vrchat_clipping_plane_and_camera_scripts/ i believe this is the solution if im understanding your problem correctly
gaunt pier
im not sure my english is not so good
when i make my hands to face then its go early invisble by other world i can make my hands to the face nearly without invisble
empty sparrow
I think so then
So then you have to set up a camera in the vrc world. On this camera you plug in there, there is supposed to be a thing called far clip. Lower that.
empty sparrow
If itโs plugged into your vrc world (where your world descriptor is) then yes
gaunt pier
no thats the camera frome the scene
empty sparrow
Lower the near value i believe
You can go into the vrc world (where your id is held) and set up a reference camera. Make this camera your reference camera
gaunt pier
ah yeah i add and change near to 0.1
empty sparrow
Sounds good!
gaunt pier
yeah thats worked thanks again ๐

any one know how to move the time code thang over

So can i use multiple scenes in a world? like build rooms to different scenes so the client does not have load other rooms?
And teleport between them

Nope. One scene only.
wraith ruin
Damn
split magnet
Sometimes when i make animations i can not add events to it.
In the timeline
Any ideas what i do wrong?
balmy gate
The little slit things on the top of the timeline?
You might need to be editing animations while you have an object selected with that animation in its animator
Same way you can't do add property unless you are editing an actual game object
split magnet
okok...in this case i have to put the #scene window on an extra monitor/screen
so i can actually select the object and work with the animation window
im used to select the object im working on in my #scene window
balmy gate
Hierarchy works too. But yea in general my window layout ends up a mess especially if I want to inspect states of animators while in play mode with both scene view and game view showing so I can interact with UI elements
split magnet
he..yes it can get tricky
balmy gate
Oh don't forget about the lock icon on the top right of animation editor. That allows you to keep working on an animation after selecting different objects
split magnet
i have the feeling there is something wrong with Unity 2017 and Maya 2020 what file syncing concerns
its messing up materials
i copy a surface...move it in maya press save
and Unity just does not like it sometimes
and it reshuffles randomly all materials
this is a serious bug
and makes working impossible
in maya the surface has the lamber1 shader assigned
unity does not have the lambert1 shader
so it randomly assigns something onto the new surface
which is not realy a problem since i put new materials on it manually
but than unity goes realy crazy at times and it does it too all objects in the scene
ah yes, and if that happens it also unticks the box for "generate colliders"
i think i have to abandon the workflow
maybe even the whole project
snow crystal
Which program should I download to make worlds and is this the right website to download unity from?

Hey folks! Is it possible to link up a series of private/passworded world instances? We're thinking of doing a conference in VRChat but would need a way to protect it.
So, in other words World A is private and has a portal to World B which uses the same settings as World A.
solid helm
You can make one world owned by the organiser, in an invite instance, then make sure everyone being invited has their status set to Busy. The combination of these two will prevent people from joining except through someone in the meeting leaking the instance ID.
upper viper
right, but can i have more than one world be part of this? the player limitation is why I ask about having this set up.
near escarp
you can't do cross world settings
split magnet
i try to move materials from one asset folder to another... copy and paste does not work...is there another way to do it?
near escarp
duplicate and move them manually as a group
split magnet
i have to move them one up first in the hirarchy
i can drag and drop them into a folder..but not one folder up
near escarp
are there duplicates ?
split magnet
yes
near escarp
then it won't work
split magnet
interesting
ok, i did it outside of unity... i used the file explorer and copy and pasted it in there
if im using ProGrids in unity...do i have to delete it first before i upload it into VRChat, or will it upload all the assets into there as well?
upload the world into VRChat
bronze smelt
Itโll only upload whatโs in the world. ProGrid is a editor extension and will only work in the editor, so that will not be uploaded
split magnet
Cool thanks
Im going to abandone maya direct import and import game objects separately and place them individually

Any good room assets to first design a medium sized room on?

Why don't you make your own assets?
Unity has great cubes and surfaces ;p

north elk
Hey, I have question about making a 360 render in VRchat world tho it keeps slicing down the middle (As shown). Is there a method to properly create 360 Without leaving the unity editor?
snow crystal
Where can I find the SDK pack in Unity if I've downloaded it?
north elk
It should be labeled as VRCSDK or you might need to find it in your downloads/ import it to unity, Fluffy ~
Basically drag and drop into the assets section if you cant find it in Unity as labeled
snow crystal
Is this what I need to drag into unity?
Also, are there any other asset websites I can use apart from sketchfab and Unity store?
And how can I download things in sketchfab if I can't pay for them? I can't find any download button
burnt pilot
how do people get players that can play movies in worlds? anyone have a prefab for that?
snow crystal
Iโd actually like to know that too tbh; Iโd like to know how to add a video player in my world

How can I download things from sketchfab if they're free? Or can I not download them?
Also, are there any more asset websites I can use as resource?
split magnet
when ever i use a snap to grid tool its kind of off by some weirds number.... it works but the cube is not exactly on 0.0/0.0/0.0 ... is this normal ?
I imported a couple of different ones..and they all behave the same
cedar nebula
You mean like 0.0003542, that kind of junk? It's just Unity having trouble with the rounding. If you see an 'e' in there it just means the number is too small for unity to display properly so it has to use a math formula to do it. It's more or less at 0 but if it bothers you just change the numbers yourself
kind linden
I have a squished sphere, anyone know how to adjust collisions to match the squishedness of the sphere?
mild narwhal
Iโm not great with unity, but I think you drag the mesh youโre using to the collision mesh box

It's a standard sphere. Not a mesh made in blender or something else.

how i make pickable object on global? i have see its local by everyone in my world
stray sand
@snow crystal https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/setting-up-the-sdk if you are still having trouble with the sdk.
@gaunt pier you need the VRC_ObjectSync on the pickup if you want it to be synced/ seen globally by everyone.
gaunt pier
yeah i have found it hope its worked thanks
so do you know i can add a radio stream as background?
nimble hull
@snow crystal vrc asset website tier list

Shit: the banned website that ends in "mods"
mild narwhal
Nah that starts with S, surely it deserves lower
gaunt pier
so how i can add .m3u files in unity?
humble lance
M3u?
sacred warren
You can't. M3U is just a plain text playlist of files.
gaunt pier
so gives another way maybe with stream link?
sacred warren
You'll have to use one of the (large and highly unstable) video players unfortunately. It's not one of VRC's strong points.
gaunt pier
ok than not i want it as background music so i search song and make it loop its boring but better than video players
sacred warren
Yeah. Just make it quiet, use quite high compression, etc. Shouldn't be too bad.
gaunt pier
how i get my world smaller i have now 80mb for little room with 8 songs ๐

maybe mixed it with audacity ๐
and upload as one song ๐

kindred thicket
Hello, I have a quick question, however I am not complaining, I just don't understand how this is done. I have seen dozens of worlds where it's created one day, then lab'd the same day or the next and Published a week later, however my world was created in December, Lab'd in February 10th and not yet published. Why do some worlds get fast tracked and others don't?
It's not even system approved yet.
buoyant hollow
I don't know the exact system of how community labs works, but I do know that bringing people to your world will help.
random owl
I had my last world go trough labs in about 4 hours ๐คท
Have you tried just spending time there with friends to get it trough?
kindred thicket
I have had 10 people in an instance I created last week?
and I normally have 6 or 8 private instances every minute of the day
random owl
What world is it?
kindred thicket
sacred warren
"I had my last world go trough labs in about 4 hours" - That's kinda just insulting to the rest of us to be honest.
It normally takes weeks of getting everyone you know to go there to drive up the numbers.
Famous people (or avatar worlds) tend to get a lot of traffic quite quickly which sidesteps the issues us peasants have to deal with.
kindred thicket
I have noticed that.
random owl
Just saying as a note of how much the time can vary
kindred thicket
I loaded it on a Monday, so I'm sure that didn't help.
harsh gulch
Which one of these is world? meaning when you click on it is on for everyone.
random owl
AlwaysBufferOne would be the best practice
sacred warren
For example the new FurClub map got out of labs in like... 4 hours... actually that's oddly the same amount of time as yours. Though I did see a VRC dev there later that evening so.. yeah.
random owl
Everyone can trigger it for everyone and late joiners get the last change of it
harsh gulch
ah ok
random owl
I've made only one world public during after labs became a thing so I can't really say much though
All I did during making it public was hang out in a instance with about 20 people for the time it took to get out of labs
sacred warren
That said, labs aren't even visible to users now unless they explicitly enable the option, so they won't even know a new world exists unless someone invites them or they turn the option off.
kindred thicket
Thanks for all the information, I really appreciate it. I will do some experimenting with my friends and looking into AlwaysBufferOne. Thanks Again!
random owl
AlwaysBufferOne was to answer the other persons question
kindred thicket
ok, Thanks
harsh gulch
lol
random owl
@kindred thicket also just wondering if you check the website have you gotten any reports on the world?
Other than the 1 that's there by default

will it be something like the dialog systems in lakuza lounge?
split magnet
Yeah.. im doing a lot of reading about cyberpunk 2020 and cybergenetstion right now.
I do not know lakuza lounge
It will be a chapter to chapter story. With every chapter a different world
buoyant hollow
I would recommend checking it out, its a hangout world with optional quests.
like kind of like a telltale game
split magnet
I do not know how to do quests yet
Im figuring out how to make things interactive with triggers
What i ultimately need is a way to script things
But i have time
buoyant hollow
I see. I'm going to start drafting up a tutorial this weekend on how to use unity animators to create game logic. That would be useful for you since you can basically make working state machines with a combination of triggers and animators.
split magnet
I started the project with a timeframe of 2 years in mind. I hope vrchat will survive that long
I would love to learn from you

Does anyone know why the "mine" tab isn't showing up on vrc under world's?
sinful moss
I want to make players able to hear from a local remote camera, Is anyone aware of a way to do this?
nimble hull
@crystal flower turn off personal space in ingame settings
No idea what DDS textures are
crystal flower
That is in unity not vrchat
split magnet
DDS is a specific image format that is used by some in their games
but im not sure if it is of significant advantage using them in unity
how many kilobytes could be saved by using DDS per texture
toxic plinth
@crystal flower convert them to something else, dds isnt the best texture format for unity
balmy gate
DDS is a compressed texture format, and unity itself will produce compressed textures as part of the import process. The problem with DDS files is that they might not have been compressed with good settings and they might have the wrong gamma settings, and you can't change either of these because DDS files are already imported in a sense.
So if you have already compressed textures with good settings, then DDS files could be perfectly fine. But as lots of mmd models like to come with them you can't always be sure of the settings
pliant wigeon
So I'm thinking about creating a VRChat world that recreates the 3rd colossus (Gaius) battle in Shadow of the Colossus, trying to figure out how exactly I'm gonna pull it off considering how complex Gaius' AI would have to be, think I'll need to use Udon. thoughts?
lethal ravine
On the surface you could animate a large walking model with colliders
use the climbing pick prefabs with no models for hands
and then dmg point on the highest collider blocks
so like yeah i think
it wouldnt really have reactive AI, just a set pattern but i think you could do it
pliant wigeon
Gotcha
wild copper
hello, I am trying to make a simple boardgame but I don't want the pieces to collide with each other. How do I do this?
pliant wigeon
Turn off coliders on the pieces
modern kayak
that would prevent grabbing them and they would fallthrough the world
wild copper
if i turn off the colliders though, they will fall through the map
modern kayak
if you want to disable physics so they are frozen when you let go, enable "iskinematic"
wild copper
i see, but how would i prevent two pieces from colliding with each other? for example, if two pieces land on the same spot
modern kayak
if they are kinematic, they wont be bumped by anything at all
modern kayak
Stop saying disable colliders, that is not the solution. If you still want physics and gravity then the best way to support that is to work with the layer collision matrix. But that's a bit more complex and setting to kinematic is probably what you want wnyeay
lethal ravine
the pickup trigger disables gravity?
modern kayak
That wouldn't change anything
wild copper
i want to keep gravity enabled though so that the pieces land on the board when dropped.
for example in Ahzkwid's chess 3, the pieces don't collide with each other
but there is still gravity
modern kayak
Then yeah you have to do collision matrix. Make a new layer in layers > edit layers then go to edit > project settings > physics and choose what you want that layer to collide with. Disable collision with itself, players, and playerlocal
Then assign that layer to your pieces
lethal ravine
give em a hidden trigger collider that makes enemy pieces teleport and then plays an explosion
an unhide it on drop so it only plays if you end your move on their piece
wild copper
@modern kayak oh wow that was a lot easier than i expected, thanks for the help
@lethal ravine didn't think about adding an explosion. will try to do something like that as well
lethal ravine
is that game what sorry copied?
lethal ravine
when i started reading the wiki its rules are like a game I've played called "Sorry"
wild copper
oh
lethal ravine
little different but you go around the map and send people home
wild copper
let me check
ive never heard of sorry before but it looks similar
but in ludo the home is in the middle
and there is no cards
just dice
lethal ravine
it would be satisfying if you add a crisp clack when the piece collides with the game board. give it a delay though
wild copper
hmm thats a good idea too. didn't think about that one either
one more question if you guys can help, how do i keep the pieces upright like in Ahzkwid's chess 3
i published the world to community labs if anyone wants to help test it
Ludo Boardgame
lethal ravine
freeze the rotation on rigidbodies would be a simple method
might not look nice in hands though so probably a better one if we think a bit
reckon it'd be overly complicated but you could activate a hinge on collision with board only after the player releases it. and use that to limit rotation to a certain angle
the hinge while on the board would also allow you to collider with other players pieces for a satisfies friendly bump without moving em if you wanted
wild copper
i did the freeze rotation on the rigidbodies, works how I want it
but i think if someone has a short avatar, the piece might glitch with the board and end up at a different angle
lethal ravine
just add a height limit text UI near the door to the game room
lethal ravine
oh are the pieces like people sized?
lethal ravine
that's super cool, right on man
wild copper
wild copper
ok, i got it to work. unless someone purposely tries to jam it into the board, the pieces should stay upright.
thanks for the help
normal fossil
what makes player crashes when joining a world?
i have videostreamplayer but with autostart settings
is that what causes it?
they joined a world but when start walking for few sec they crashed
balmy gate
@normal fossil check if your sync type is correct. Video vs live needs to match if it is prerecorded or live
normal fossil
i have 2 live and 2 normal videos from youtube
balmy gate
Getting anything wrong with stream player will cause people to randomly crash
normal fossil
yeahh
i set to live for live and normal for youtube
is it okay to put normal and live in the list?
balmy gate
Never seen people do that before
The stream player is super buggy so maybe try only one or the other
make triggers to do Stop, Clear, AddURL, Next is the sequence I've seen work
Don't send rpc Play. Instead only do Next

lusty condor
I need help
how to do this items on bed pickable and with gravity and so that they don't disappear somewhere
wild copper
add VRC_Pickup component and mesh collider as well
for the mesh collider select the convex checkbox
to the items you want pickable
and rigid bodies but i think it will add automatically when you add vrc_pickup
and lastly, if you want the objects to sync with other placers add VRC_ObjectSync too
lusty condor
with other placers?
wild copper
what do you mean?
lusty condor
"and lastly, if you want the objects to sync with other placers add VRC_ObjectSync too"

do you mean players?

it will allow other players to see the objects move

@lusty condor how did you manage to make a changable color trigger? is it using lights or shader tho?
near escarp
what kind did you use
frigid estuary
In terms of what?
these are my settings for lighting
the light comes mainly from the ceiling texture, which has these settings
near escarp
A few things, disable realtime global illumination, make sure you then disabled your lights in your scene
also you're showing the material for your lights at the top, not the wall ?
frigid estuary
oh ok so I just figured, the wall material was in some kind of inbetween state, where it was still in specular shader, where it tried using realtime lighting but when I switched to the standard shader the lighting is there
strange 
thanks for reminding me about the realtime global illumination

How to get rid of those weird shadows?
opaque scaffold
How should I set up a staircase that players can walk on
short gulch
@opaque scaffold if your stairs are already made then make a cube with a box collider and make it into a ramp that goes up the stairs, then disable the "mesh renderer" component on the cube.
opaque scaffold
what if I add a mesh collider on the already made stairs? I just want to know whether the characters would get stuck walking on it
short gulch
Well the problem with that is that its very uncomfortable to walk up stairs with a mesh collider in vr. It basically looks like you're shaking all the way up the stairs
I mean if the stairs are normal sized then you won't get stuck or anything, but like I said its really uncomfortable.
next lava
im having a problem where i got to upload and it gets rid of my lighting im kind of new and dont really understand baked lighting as much and i dont know why its happening
this is before
this is after the bundle and it asks me to build it

wym i had everything baked
in the lighting settings i turned off auto and i have been re generating lighting tried multiple times now
near escarp
And all your lights are disabled ?
next lava
no they are on
near escarp
disable them and post a screenshot of the result
next lava
near escarp
Yeah i don't think there's any baked lighting here
so that means you didn't bake
you need to generate lightmap UVs on all your meshes, mark them all static, etc
check pinned items in #world-lighting

but i did all that

@bold ibex Make sure to not have an empty dynamic prefab row in the Scenedescriptor
bold ibex
@near escarp I hope it is ok I am tagging you. We tried to fix it over here following your advice and it eventually worked out but what we had to do is to delete new elements that were placed on the map for its expansion (aka new location that was supposed to be added). It must be the assets in the package or something like that? Anyway, thank you so much for advice and have a nice day ๐

Is there a free bloom shader I can use?
Preferably with a slider I can change the intensity with in the inspector

Can anyone recommend a good moving tree/grass shader out there that's also double sided? I currently have one that kind of gets the job done, but I'd really like for it to be double sided. (I know Unity has moving tree/grass, but this is all a part of a pre-existing model, so I'd really rather not use Unity trees/grass.)

@north stag The video suggests to use unity 5.6 but the current version of unity you need is 2017.4.28f1 for things to work properly
storm sky
I'm having this issue right now with my unity, trying to upload my world but it won't let me. (Tried reinstalling SDK, removing unnecessary scripts in imported assets, tried redoing the 'VRCWorld' with no luck ๐ฆ
modern kayak
go to settings in the vrc upload panel and disable futureproof
storm sky
That was already disabled
modern kayak
two other possibilities then, is your log throwing any errors? And is your lighting baked completely?
you shouldn't have to wait that long usually, though if it's a big world the solution might be just wait, it's not broken it just takes a while
storm sky
This is the errors that come up
And I'm not sure how to bake lighting but it wasn't an issue beforehand, as I had uploaded the world multiple times before
modern kayak
yeah definitely go through your assets and delete more scripts
assets that come with scripts are a pain in the butt
storm sky
There is only poiyomi scripts and dynamic bones
modern kayak
there's something about amplitudeAPI, you're gonna have to figure that out
stuff might also be hiding in the plugins folder
storm sky
this has come up as I was 'preparing to upload'
modern kayak
you covered the first C:/user but not the second btw
modern kayak
I have no idea what that error means
does poiyomi use thry editor? I've heard that causing problems sometimes
storm sky
I deleted thry completely
modern kayak
you sure poiyomi stuff isn't trying to reference thry maybe?
also this is a world, you shouldn't be using toon shaders built for avatars btw
storm sky
Uh idk, what shader should I be using? I like the way poiyomi looks
I know a few people who use poiyomi for there worlds so idk
modern kayak
It's not so much a problem with toon shaders, it's that avatar shaders have a whole bunch of features built to make themselves look decent no matter what the lighting is, so if the world has bad lighting then the avatar doesn't suffer. But if you use those shaders you'll never know when your lighting is bad and if people use regular shaders they'll look terrible
you could try unity chan toon shader https://github.com/unity3d-jp/UnityChanToonShaderVer2_Project/blob/master/Manual/UTS2_Manual_en.md
but I'm no expert on shaders so someone else might recommend something better
storm sky
I gotta figure out how to upload it before I try finding another shader XD
modern kayak
yeah I'm not sure. If you have a ton of assets and it's getting out of hand, you might want to try moving to another project. Make sure to move only assets and nothing else, then fresh import the SDK, and then try uploading
this says it's caused by a full hard drive
storm sky
I have 10gb available
modern kayak
yeah that would probably do it
storm sky
So the assets itself are saved on my D: drive which has 100gb
Left
And for some reason that thing says it's on my C: dtive
modern kayak
yeah that's where unity must be installed
which is also where it would put the builds
storm sky
ahh
The world is only less than 30mb itself the folder where the world is saved is 3gb
modern kayak
yeah if you were just copying files you would probably be able to fill it to the brim but who knows what unity is doing or requires
storm sky
We have hope! I deleted poiyomi script and there is now a working bar
tawny heart
When uploading avatars, you can see a path in the debug console which is always on c drive in the current window user's appdata folder. Can't remember what exactly it says tho but it is not related to having no space, just saving something there I think. Could very well be a problem with having no space in your case
So I don't think it is too far fetched to think something similar is going on with worlds.
storm sky
Yeah, so deleting that script 'Poimaster.cs' fixed it and it is now uploaded! 
modern kayak
yayy
storm sky
And actually whilst I'm here, does anyone know how to make a button to toggle pillow pickup on and off?
modern kayak
yeah just have one button that does oninteract > alwaysbufferone > setgameobjectactive true and then another button false. Then also make each button disable themselves and enable the opposite one
and don't do toggle because that won't sync for late joiners properly
storm sky
It can't be local?
modern kayak
If you want it local you can do toggle just fine since late joiner sync won't matter
storm sky
Wouldn't that turn the pillows off?
modern kayak
if you set it to toggle then it will toggle on and off
storm sky
I wanna turn the pickup off
modern kayak
then set it to false
storm sky
Okay, I'll test it
It turns the pillows off, I wanna stop the pillows being picked up D:
Unless I set the reciever to something else?
modern kayak
if you want to prevent pickup, do setcomponentactive and target the collider of the pillow
storm sky
Ah, okay so that's what I did and for some reason the button stops working and then I tried making false and true buttons and came across the same issue, the button would not be working anymore
modern kayak
just make sure you're not targetting the button itself
and don't leave any receivers blank either
modern kayak
great!

Does anyone have any Bakery magic/tricks to share since I was last around? It's still highly unstable for me.

In which way ?
toxic plover
I'm trying to bake the lighting here but i keep getting these sort of outlines(?). The lightmap resolution is fairly big too so I'm not entirely sure what's going on here.
short gulch
@toxic plover Just a guess, but maybe you have your ambient occlusion set too thick
random owl
Might wanna make sure you have generate lightmaps on for thise meshes as well
gaunt pier
how kadeera create a dvd player with movies??? On Youtube its not movies.
sacred warren
@near escarp Given that Bakery often fails for me, I was hoping someone else had stumbled into the same issue and perhaps cause.

how do i do post processing stack... and should i attempt using it for VRChat?

@short gulch Checked the AO, it somehow creeped up to 8. That was the issue. Thanks for the help
stray blade
anyone know how to set the movie screen so me and my friend can watch it in my world?
in unity
stray sand
are you just wanting a video player in your world? @stray blade
stray blade
ive got one already i need the movie to start and show for both of us
with remote to turn it off and on
stray sand
is it only playing for one at the moment or are you trying to find a movie to play?
stray blade
its only playing for one
stray sand
do you know if you are using the syncvideostream video player?
stray blade
yes
stray sand
is the other person running on windows 7 or 8?
stray sand
do other videos work and just the movie isnt working.
stray blade
it shows up grey for him but it does activate on remote for both of us so ill the movie but he will see grey
and if he joins first he can see it and i cant
and yes it works but for one of us who join first
i wanna set it to owner for the two remote buttons and screen
stray sand
my first assumption is something is wrong with the video player. or the source of the movie is only allowing one person to view it at a time.
stray blade
so the owner can only activate it for everyone and they all see it
what setting do i choose so only owner can active screen and buttons for everyone even late joiners?
stray blade
host of lobby
stray sand
alright that would be the master. network ownership can be changed between people.
stray blade
theres a setting that say take ownership of action tags does that need to be ticked for buttons and screen?
stray sand
i dont know how you have your video player set up but for vrc triggers you can set the broadcast types to master so only the master of the instance can click them. and if you are using a custom url player that allows anyone to enter a url it will be a bit more work. you would need to remove the object sync so transfer ownership doesn't happen. as well as remove the take ownership action when a url is entered.
stray sand
master bufferone
stray blade
what unity should i be using i have a feeling i have wrong one?
stray sand
2017.4.28f1 since you are getting into the world i dont think its an issue https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/setting-up-the-sdk
stray blade
also its set so that it play link from youtube when button is clicked
there is no url bar yet as i haven't put one in
i have that sdk
stray sand
then just setting your interact buttons to master is all you need.
gaunt pier
i have create disk for my youtube videos haha
gaunt pier
i have make this so
stray blade
masterbufferone
stray sand
if you want the master to only be able to click then yes.
stray blade
the host only yes?
stray blade
ok
gaunt pier
and by target owner
stray blade
is local for everyone?
gaunt pier
for everyone
stray sand
he is wanting the master to only be able to control the video player.
stray blade
yes
gaunt pier
than masterunbuffered
stray blade
and i want my friend to see movie as well as i
gaunt pier
youtube movies?
stray blade
yes
gaunt pier
you only need the videosync prefab
stray sand
for some reason the movie is only playing for the master of the instance.
stray blade
i have a link that works
gaunt pier
VRCVideoSync i use
stray sand
he is using the vrcvideostream
stray blade
it was set to owner before
gaunt pier
use the prefab that works better
gaunt pier
yeah on your button add vrctrigger component
stray sand
actually spyro can i test the link. will be easy to tell if that is the problem or the video player. can you dm me the link?
gaunt pier
for buttons use OnInteract and than masterunbuffered
by actions choose SendRPC
and than put the Video Prefab in the Receivers list
thats from me
maybe its help you
i work with playlist so you can make it with buttons to play some video from your playlist
stray blade
so if my friend joins late masterunbuffer will solve him not seeing movie
as i was using owner before
gaunt pier
videoplayer target must everytime choosed owner
balmy gate
Trigger Master... and owner.. will do mostly the same thing
gaunt pier
i tried another options thats dont worked
balmy gate
The rpc target owner is rhe thing that matters
Rpc target is below the SendRPC action not the trigger thingat the top
gaunt pier
yeah i know so he need masterunbuffered
stray sand
just double checked video is fine so its your set up spyro
stray blade
2 buttons on masterunbuffered now and screen too
gaunt pier
why englisch guys have apache 207 videos? ๐
stray sand
can you screenshot the button your working on spyro?
stray blade
give me 5 just rendering world to test a min
stray sand
if you want you can also download a premade videoplayer then change it to how you want.
stray blade
i find it easier somehow to DIY lool
stray sand
๐
stray blade
thank you for the help i let you know if it works now
stray sand
i would still like to see how you have your trigger set up if its alright
random owl
That's kind of a weird way to think about it when starting a world ๐ค
And what do you mean by 2048 x 2048? As in meters?

That'd be a little over 4 square kilometers which is pretty damn big

i would suggest keeping it under 1000

Making a world with a river in it, I have a simple c# script that makes the texture scroll so that it looks like a running river, but vrchat doesnt support custom scripts, any way I could pull this off without it?

Ive got silents imported, how do I make it scroll ingame?
balmy gate
@opaque scaffold just want to also make a note that scrolling can be easily done using only an animator, by adjusting the Z or W components of Mesh Renderer / Material._MainTex_ST in the animation timeline...

signal turtle
So I'm new to making worlds in VRC. I was curious though. I heard someone say you cant include custom scripts, but how is that possible? particles, shaders, parameters, etc use scripts. Is there like a list of function calls that are whitelisted or something? When I go to a world that has stuff like a spinner, elevators, etc I assume it's all custom C# code
cedar nebula
Actual custom scripts, no. The stuff that's built into Unity and the VRChat SDK will work though. Unity Standard Assets are also whitelisted for worlds which helps a lot.
The upcoming update to Unity 2018 will let us use custom scripts somewhat, but only using VRChat's own scripting system, Udon
opaque scaffold
How should I setup post pocessing for a wolrd. I am using post pocessing FX v.2
cedar nebula
Read through this guide, it's got useful information on how to set it up
https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/SCSS/-/wikis/Other/Post-Processing
signal turtle
@cedar nebula Oh ok. So the only C# allowed is for shaders? and everything else is done via components or udon? Guess I'll have to learn udon then
Thanks
cedar nebula
Yeah shaders are fair game, about the only C# you can use right now. Other than that it's all components until Udon is released. If you want to get your hands on it early check out #udon-info
signal turtle
Wait, if udon isnt released yet, how is it people do things like the spinning drink wheel in void? Or really any of the other stuff that I see in worlds. Like objects following paths, or touching objects triggering something
cedar nebula
The VRChat SDK has a Trigger system so you can make interactions like that. It has a lot of the basics of coding but it's a bit primitive and hard to wrap your head around at times
signal turtle
Is there any good documentation on it? Or not really
near escarp
It varies
most of it is documented, lots of tutorials and knowledge around, some are a bit harder to find/understand
cedar nebula
The basic information is in the docs
https://docs.vrchat.com/
but a lot of "best practice" stuff hasn't really been documented
near escarp
Any question you have can be asked and answered in #event-system-sdk2

Where do I get help about avatars and stuff? @near escarp

Alright, thanks for the advice. I guess it's like most things that are fun, it's got a steep learning curve lol.

@signal turtle this could help get started. I put together some prefabs of basic and common things in vrc. https://github.com/jetdog8808/JetDogs-Prefabs/

Thanks for making that lol. I can see these being useful in the near future. Also picking apart prefabs helps me learn a lot
opaque scaffold
How should I set up the bloom correctly to make things with emission bloom properly. I tried setting up but they don't look like blooming at all in unity.
somehow if I am using the default as the layer I can see the blooming effect in unity
but it does not suggest me to do so. If I remove default from the layer would I see the same effect in game?
hollow estuary
Heyy someone can explain me how to make light switchers ? I tried alot things now and it's not working. There is screenshot of what i tried lately-
sour harness
@hollow estuary I believe you need to have advanced mode on and turn it to local, or if it's public, set it to always
hollow estuary
i know how to turn on advanced mode but set it local ?
sour harness
Next to OnInteract
Local means only you can see it when it turns off and other players can't, so they can individually use it, always just means anyone can turn it on and off
hollow estuary
oh i did it and it is still not working in game :<
it is like when i click button there is nothing happen, maybe i should try to do it other way ? right now i just make light object dissapear
maybe this is wrong way
sour harness
The object should toggle inactive and active when you interact an object
I don't have a problem with this, so I don't know what your doing differently
hollow estuary
i mean i use light as object
just created light and maybe this is problem
maybe i shouyld make it in other way
balmy gate
@opaque scaffold is your reference camera set correctly in vrc scene descriptor? Does it have allow hdr checked?
opaque scaffold
Yeah I put the camera in descriptor already, and it checked hdr
I can see the blooming effect only when default is checked in the layer
balmy gate
Which layer
balmy gate
Sorry which layer dropdown.
opaque scaffold
balmy gate
Uncheck everything and check water. Put Post processing volume game objects onto water layer.
That layer selector is asking for which layer the post processing volume are on, but using default can be confusing
Also make sure post processing volume objects are not inside the camera. Drag them out of the camera

Hello,
I just started working on a world for me and my gf, but I want to make it private so no one else can see the server and join it. I am trying to find a way so that I can invite her in the server and no one else can join or browse the world unless I give them access or invite them. Any help
?
random owl
Best thing to do would be don't make the world public and give her the world link
random owl
When you upload the world you can go to the website and browse your worlds from there you can just give her the link where she can launch it from the website
You could also just give it to her so she can upload it to her own account so she can just launch her own instances
young garnet
Ehm ok but how do u upload it withought it being publickj?
Sorry I was late my pc crushed
random owl
If you upload without submitting to community labs the world will be private
young garnet
Oh
Thank you so much ^^
Oh and 1 last question, does Unity 2018.4.18f1 work with Vr chat?
random owl
Currently you should be using 2017.4.28f1
young garnet
and if not anyway to import my world to the correct vertion? (2017.4.28f1 or something like that)
random owl
Always check the documentation for specifics
young garnet
I did
But I downloaded the wrong one by mistake....
So anywhere to save my situation and move my projct to the older vertion or I have to start from scratch
random owl
2018 chances substantially how some things work so the projects break pretty bad usually if you try to bring it back
Vrchat will be updating to 2018 at some point soonish though so if you don't mind waiting you can just keep it in 2018
young garnet
Yes I found that out earlyer that is why I wanted to check
Hmmm
define soonish? ^^"

But there has been some delays so I can't tell you how soon

Anyone have a fix for people getting stuck on stairs when they get to the top? Ive tried everything at this point
broken stream
Hello everyone, I have a question, how can I assign special layer for specific Item?
For example one Item is entering in trigger and then something happen.
We have trigger "VRC_Special_Layer" and it is working, but there is 4 layers only. What if I need more layers?
buoyant hollow
you don't need the special layer component, the portion at the top you have crossed out is enough.
buoyant hollow
oh, you didn't set the box collider to be is trigger.
it will fall though the floor though so probably will want to set that up as is Kinematic
broken stream
ok wait a sec
The right one is a key
it is an Item
Left one is the zone
trigger zone
ornate turret
your layers are wrong
buoyant hollow
yes they need to match.
ornate turret
Also I recommend adding a child object to the pickup
with its own collider
and layer set to interactive if thats what will trigger it
it also depends on the collider of the trigger too
ornate turret
there are empty layers available
broken stream
Yep
broken stream
But enter triggers are not working with the layers you set up above
With special layers only
ornate turret
and then after that, you need to go to preferences > project settings > physics
any new layer you make
needs to have its physics set up
broken stream
Hm
ornate turret
to determine what layers it can interact with
broken stream
Let me check
ornate turret
it'll look something like this
and you just tick the boxes that are relevant to that layer
buoyant hollow
both objects need colliders, I don't see a collider on your vrc_trigger, but it could just be cropped out.
buoyant hollow
at least one object needs to be marked as is trigger iirc
ornate turret
pickup shouldn't be, but the one with the trigger needs to be "is trigger"
on its collider
broken stream
Yes ofc
Ok let me find this one
Preferences
I find one in Edit
I think it is wrong one

timid jackal
Hello is there a guide on how to create jetpaks for world ?
balmy gate
@timid jackal did you look through the prefab database in the pinned messages?
Testrun Jetpack by Synqark
@amber silo your player collider is a capsule. It is capable of climbing up stairs up to 0.5 meters tall. While the player can technically fit under something 2 meters tall, VRChat's player controller won't let you actually walk unless the ceiling is something around 2.1 meters high
So if I had to guess, either your stairs are too high or the ceiling is too low on the top floor. It isn't something that requires jumping to get up is it?
timid jackal
@balmy gate i cannot se that prefab in pinned messages. ?
which channel do u mean ?
balmy gate
#world-development pinned messages. Look for tinyurl link. Click it and look at the spreadsheet for testrun jetpack
amber silo
@balmy gate its around 2.2m high doesnt require jumping at all its the staircase to the upstairs of my vket booth and Ive tried merging both moving them and it still seems to not work
balmy gate
There has to be another collider clipping through somewhere keeping you from moving, otherwise I have no idea.
Or the ceiling isn't actually 2.2m from the top of the stair
What if you make the second to last stair bigger and use that as your top platform ๐
split magnet
I made a slide door and (after i had a guest actually testing the door) i realized that i can not see the door opening if somebody else is triggering the opening button.
any ideas how to fix that?
random owl
The trigger needs to be set to AlwaysBufferOne to sync
But that also depends on how you did the door mechanic to have it working properly
split magnet
i made states for the doors which gets controled by animator and the trigger is called by a simple cube with a trigger component
random owl
Then you could either add VRC_ObjectSync to the animator object or change the Trigger to be AlwaysBufferOne
split magnet
Always Buffer One sounds easy to do
already changed it... i assume it will work. for me as a single person it always works ๐

what urls can you use for video screens in your own worlds? is it only youtube or can you use dropbox or google drive link?
random owl
Any direct video link that works with youtube-dl works as long as it doesn't have any weirder characters
random owl
If you can the direct video link, I can't remember if that's possible with google drive since it needs authentication and stuff usually
random owl
You can google youtube-dl supported sites
It's just that you can't do authentication from inside vrchat that youtube-dl normally could do
stray blade
ahh i see
thanks for info
just checked it say google drive has support
in the list
random owl
You can try it, I don't have experience using it myself since I just self host if I need to
Problem is just that if the google drive link you are trying is behind needing to login you can't use it inside vrchat even though normally youtube-dl would support it

hmm ill have a look around

hexed yacht
interesting problem, i have been working on a map for a while(unfinished still) but it was made public out of labs who should i contact to send it back to labs or can i do it my self
balmy gate
Thats just how labs is... if it made it to public it's probably fine. Just keep updating it. if it's not ready for public and going to take more than a week of time before you're even happy with it, you can unpublish the world on the website (vrchat.com/home) and then detach the world id in the scene descriptor, attach a new world id and publish to labs again when it's time. But I don't see the point
You can submit to labs only once a week, and it's just going to be hidden from the public eye even longer if you go through the labs process again, so I would suggest keeping it and keep working on updating the world
hexed yacht
Fair enough, the problem is I am working with a player tracking system that has the potential to lock up, crash, or trap players

upload a stable version and try to do risky testing offline on your pc only? or are you testing stuff with other players in the room?

That'll usually give more insight into which .map it is and what can be done with it.

Gallium I don't think you noticed they were asking it from the person above them asking about map files
slow orbit
I did, but what I said still applies as there's a variety of formats that use the .map extension and each are different.

thats fine Gallium
nothing wrong with what you said
this is not an argument
its a request for some information

The person might mean hammer files since those are .map

ohhh....i just discovered i have ideas for 6.5 years of work in building worlds for VRChat
will VRChat be around for that long?
and... how will VRChat change in those 6.5 years?
are there any ideas for what VRChat wants to archive till then?
it would be also interesting to see how this would impact world building, in that context.
is doing project management at the moment and all those questions are popping up
balmy gate
VRChat is probably up there in terms of time from inception, but they've had content wipes years in the past
No platform like this has even existed long enough to answer those questions
balmy gate
I mean unity will probably still be around, and VRChat is very tied into the unity ecosystem
SecondLife wasn't built on the foundation of a newly emerging technology that changes drastically every few years
6dof VR tracking wasn't even a thing 6.5 years ago. Who knows what tech will look like 6.5 years from now
Anyway as far as content goes, keep it in well supported and documented formats: blender will be around, fbx maybe... my estimate is gltf will emerge as the dominant 3D format in the next 6.5 years, supported by sites like sketchfab etc. this would be unprecedented in the history of 3D, but gltf has historic amounts of industry support for an open standard, and open source tools are more prolific than ever.
(VRM is based on gltf... I would expect VRM to be supported by most platforms)
The future is always evolving: we can only speculate.
My advice is don't plan out 6.5 years of work on anything VR related.
split magnet
glTF 2.0 can not be exported by default in maya .... i need to find a plugin for that
split magnet
and pity... the gltf plugin for maya i found can not save the .glb file.... it appears its not compatible with the newest version of maya
split magnet
i want to make an object that serves as a button telling a platform to spawn a Teleporter object people can use to TP to another world or another place in the the current world.... how would i approach such an endeavour ?
i know the button is a trigger that can communicate with something else
but the rest is kinda dark to me
