Simple animators should not be a problem
Remember that every player in itself is already an animator and a lot more systems as well
Though going too far is always a thing
No worries

does unity support a 6.1 audio setup for vrc video players?

does unity support a 6.1 audio setup for vrc video players?
@cyan pike I don't think it does exactly, although are you looking to build a 6.1 setup in 3D space or just output 6.1?
cyan pike
in 3d space

If you host the file yourself yes

@random owl I was looking for that exact post lol, read that a few days ago
cyan pike
yeah thats why i asked cuz it says 2018 unity changed it
cyan pike
well i tested that audio setup they showed in that link didnt work so thats why i asked here
random owl
You processed the file and self hosted it?
cyan pike
no was just thinking that it would work normally by just adding the 6 different audio sources
random owl
Nope as the guide says you need to encode the video again with the settings shown and host the file yourself somewhere
cyan pike
was worth a shot but dont want to host anything so ill be skipping that
random owl
Yeah sadly no other solutions if you want all the channels
random owl
Need to follow the whole guide otherwise it won't work
Or try my world tools to set it up in one click ๐
Most common point of failure is not setting the reference camera though
Did you also set the layers as instructed in the guide
You can show pictures so I can spot any problems
That's missing info screenshot the whole inspector
Most importantly the volume
Well there we go
Your volume is on the default layer
The object itself
The layer can't detect volumes on the wrong layer
Yes the volume blending set's what layer the volumes themselves need to be on
Is your main camera the actual main camera?
Not sure then can't spot any other problems from the screenshots
You already had your color filter completely to red should be noticable even with mode as none
Does it show the post processing camera if you switch to game view
Just making sure it's not showing nothing or some other hidden camera
It should work in both if set up as it should
Do you have post processing disabled in your scene view?
Well there we go
I'm actually gonna add that to my world tools as well since that's an easy point of confusion
Yeah usually you do that by changing the weight of a volume using a ui slider
The guide I linked you has the info on which options you should and should not use
Ambient occlusion is not recommended to use at all
You would use the post processing volume weight
And have multiple
Yeah and you change that with an UI Slider
But I can't instruct much more since I haven't setup one myself
There's some prefabs for it though on booth
Don't think auto exposure would be the best setting for that
More likely post exposure
And you would need two volumes one with just post exposure setting and other volume with all your other settings
And then you bring done the weight on the volume with just the post exposure or wise versa
That's about what I can say if you want to learn more study these

So, I just started playing vrchat again, and wanted to make a new home world, and I've got my design done, but how on earth do I do literally anything else? I wanted to put a mirror and I'm guessing I need a spawn, and I don't even know how to set up a mirror toggle thing anymore (Note: I'm using the SDK3+Udon)

So manually box colliding an object here and i put a box collider on an empty game object so that i may duplicate and move it around freely so that i may box collide certain complex objects such as this pavilion, is there a reason when i get into the game that the box collider wouldn't work?
random owl
Can't say much from just that picture

Possibly wrong layer or something similar
serene estuary
probably need it on player local instead of just player
random owl
Well there's the problem then
serene estuary
default right?
random owl
Default would work yes
serene estuary
-_- thx
random owl
If you set them to the same layer as players are and players really don't collide in game
Yeah...
serene estuary
so its okay if they are not techinically attached to the object its colliding as long as its fit rightly on the object?
because ive done it before and it worked
I just didnt know if it was a different sdk or something
random owl
As long as they are on a layer that collides with the player capsule like default layer

@karmic iris Is it black in all worlds? Seems to me there isn't some sort of fallback lighting when there's no Realtime DL present. If that room has light probes, you should've lighten up.
What shader are you using? I would suggest poiyomi toon for that type of MMD model(i assume its mmd).

There's an ambient occlusion checkbox

The more settings you add, the longer it'll take, but you can clear the GI cache in Edit > Preferences after each bake

Does anyone know why after one of the latest VRChat updates your avatar freezes in fullbody when moving your playspace further than around 0.5m away from the center of a VRC_Station you're sitting in on X or Z axis? On Y axis you are still allowed to move as far as you want.
Same also happens when the station is moving fast enough, driving a car around 100km/h is enough to freeze avatars in place.
I have also tested older VRCSDK2 worlds, same issue.

Trying to create a VRC Mirror for one of my worlds but it still appears as the pink texture when I'm testing the world through the SDK control panel.
I've properly set up a button that can be used to toggle the mirror on/off but the mirror has no reflection whatsoever. All the tutorials I watched just show people placing it in their world and then the mirror just works automatically.
mild spade
Can you post a picture of the component that has the mirror?

Seems to be missing a material. You can add one with the shader "FX/MirrorReflection" or just search for "MirrorReflection" and drag it to the component

I'm making a world, but every time I test it my character falls through the floor. Is there a reason why this is happening?
I made a mesh collider and it's not working
try pressing convex
@bold ibex
I'll try that, hold on.
if it's still a problem, it means your spawn it's either inside your floor or below it
The thing is, this is a seperate place besides my spawn. You walk through a door and it takes you to this place, but when they go through the door they just fall through the floor in this place.
mild spade
You could use a box collider instead. If you look at the mesh on your mesh collider, it says "none" perhaps that is the problem with your floor. If you dont have a mesh, you should use box colliders. Limit your mesh colliders as much as you can.
bold ibex
I'll try swapping it over to a box collider and see if that works
It didn't work. Am I supposed to have something in my materials part right here?
mild spade
Is the target where they spawn inside or below the collider like Nacho asked?
bold ibex
They're supposed to fall into the room after they walk throught the door, so they fall a few feet before they're supposed to hit the ground.
mild spade
and you have the box collider covering the entire room right? not only the square on the middle like the picture
bold ibex
This is my first time making a world, so I think it might only be on the cube. How do i make it so the collider is with the entire room?
mild spade
You click on "edit collider" and you will see green dots. You move those. One for each face of the cube. The collider is a an invisible cube, so you want them to touch the top part of the cube
bold ibex
I don't see "Edit Collider"

You need to select whatever ground you have under the spawn and add a collider for it
Otherwise the game just throws you back home to avoid falling endlessly
Looking more though it's as if you made the spawn point be a mesh?
Spawn point is better to just be a empty game object that you move to where you want to spawn

what collider would be best for a shape like this
or wait nvm I think I got it

anyone good at 3d modeling? dug around multiple websites trying to find a detailed and accurate model of the stargate from the sequel series stargate atlantis and while ive found the SG1 variant, i have not found one of this version or at least one that is available to either download OR buy so if anyone can make this and is willing we can discuss more in pms if needed ๐
i also asked on the vrchat ask forums and got nothing days after the post ๐ฆ
The reason i want this model is as a stargate fan i wanted to make a world that is a recreation of the city of atlantis in the sequel series, can make the interior of the city myself from memory and ive found models of the exterior on sites like sketchfab and deviantart i cant find the model of the gate itself which ngl is getting annoying
near escarp
You could model your own without too much trouble, it's a simple thing, the shader itself is the tricky part

i could yes, its the detailing thatll be difficult as there are fine markings on the gate itself, one gate model from SG1 i found that was as accurate as i could find being downloadable was a whopping 300MB ish in size

@frigid estuary I usually use iwasyncplayer since I have most luck just give me a second to find a link
This one but you need to also follow the instructions that is on the picture included with the package to make it work
Aka drag the two indicated things to your vrcworld dynamic prefabs list

Thank you very much! I'll try!

Is your world way too far from the zero point?

@random owl thanks for the advice about the video player. it seems i cant reposition the video player hud that easily, what do I have to do to achieve this?
when I place the menu somewhere else it wont work anymore
(I moved the collider boxes with it)
random owl
The system is a bit fragile of because of it trying to work around VRChat limitations
How it works is that it spawns a new prefab on that SpawnPos gameobject
Don't have a quick solution for you since I haven't tried modifying it myself but there's a hint

Should I start making worlds on Blender instead of Unity from now on?
knotty portal
Also how do i make everything not dark in unity again
because i was messing with the lighting and it just turned the world super dark
spare field
did you change to baked lighting and didnt Bake?
spare field
oh, directional is basically lighting up the entire world
point is only an area
you can make 2 lights
one direction and another point
knotty portal
it is a huge ship
The ship itself is the matcap lit shader
Does it possibly have something to do with the skybox?
spare field
skybox can have something to do with it
but i highly doubt it if you just changed directional to point
maybe you messed up the "culling mask" on the light in inspection?
knotty portal
the culling mask has "everything" selected
spare field
i honestly dont know what else could be the problem to be honest, since im also learning myself
what is your "lighting settings"?
knotty portal
spare field
oh yeah
also some advice
usually better to unstick auto generate
knotty portal
ah okay
spare field
makes things easier to manage instead of trying to bake the lighting every single time you move something
knotty portal
ah okay
spare field
is there light when you build/test the world? or is it just dark only in Unity?

maybe you put "Direction Light" in the Sun Source
because i have it on "none" in mine and it shows light just fine

curious question
if i were to make rooms with their own sound (rooms will be next to each other)
how would i change the sound area to a more cube like area as opposed to a sphere, so the sound doesnt seep outside of the room into the other room (if i make the sphere smaller, then wouldn't the corners of the room be quiet?)
near escarp
Only enable the audio source locally when you enter the toom
And you can even make it 2D
@spare field
spare field
ah
so i just do 2D but make it local for the player entering the room
so that other players can go in the other room and hear the other rooms sound
right?
near escarp
Correct, a simple OnEnterTrigger local that enables the audio source
spare field
alright, thanks that helps a lot

@reef sparrow the detail maps use the same UVs as the regular maps, only difference is you can have them tile a lot more. They have nothing to do with the lightmap UVs AFAIK

simple nimbus
so i have some global visual effects i want to have toggles for so users can turn off. the toggle works until the animation changes. Then the user will see the animation even though the toggle is set to off
Regarding the image:
- RED: element that gets disabled via vrc set game object active = false or true
- GREEN: animation controller on the laser effect controlling what is in the yellow circle
- YELLOW: laser visual effect. only ever moved in and out of the scene, never disabled
so if i have the toggle off, yellow is diabled, then someone triggers green to change, and in result i see yellow even though i shouldn't
anyone have any feedback?
bold ibex
hey does anybody know how to make objects you can pick up
I already have vrc pickup on the object but I cant pick it up

"Build & Publish for Windows" again, and when you're on the screen that makes you edit the world name/description, another camera will spawn in the world origin (centre of the world) and you can move the camera around and make it look at something then "Upload image"

Reduce lightmap size
bold ibex
@dark kernel You must have set the reselution to 80 or something. I have found 40 to be just the sweet spot.
Yea, I figured. UV unpack it with a lightmap
They are breaking because you have diagonal lines instead of horizontally or straight lines.
Your UV maps are messed up bro
Make unity create ones for you or go in blender and lightmap pack the UVs
I would recommend letting unity create the lightmap uvs for you
Post a pic of the "glitch"
The emission material cannot glow because you have baked lighting. Use a glow shader somewhere from the web.
It does, when baked. But it will not light up avatars because it is not realtime.
random owl
"emission material can't glow because you have baked lighting" What do you mean by this?
Do you mean post processing glow or emitting light because baked lighting can do both?
bold ibex
Let me clarify. The emission shader will only have effect on static objects.
random owl
No? That's why you have light probes.
bold ibex
If you bake it with light probes, then yes it will have effect of the light level of non static objects.
random owl
Why would you bake lighting without light probes ๐ค That's a pretty important part of baking lights.
Just stating that emissions can't affect dynamic objects is pretty incorrect
random owl
Light probes don't affect performance almost at all
bold ibex
Takes up a lotta memory
So let's say you have 20 people in a world. + a ridicules amount of light probes. It will affect gameplay.
random owl
That is also pretty minimal unless you are going for 100k light probes or some other absurd number
@dark kernel can you show the material?
bold ibex
Just be careful with lightprobes. Having above 100 can affect gameplay.
You probably need a color. Set it to white
Like I said before having above 100 light probes can affect memory badly as stated on the unity website. So just use a few of them.
random owl
Above 100? That is a very low amount light probes honestly.
bold ibex
Set the emission color to white
random owl
Show the full color setting for it
bold ibex
Try 1
random owl
Just having it 1 shouldn't be blinding
How much bloom do you have?
Ahh
1 should be fine yeah
It's baked you gotta bake it again ๐
That's why most world creators use bakery
Yeah
As long as you have a nvidia graphics card it makes the baking time go 10x faster in some cases
slow orbit
They do, just in later builds of unity that we can't really use with vrc.
random owl
Bakery?
slow orbit
GPU Progressive lightmapper
random owl
Bakery is still better ๐คท
slow orbit
It exists in the current build but is broken as fuck
Not if you have an AMD card it is
random owl
True
slow orbit
And the GPU PLM is platform and hardware agnostic.
random owl
I wonder if I test out GPU Progressive in 2020 if it would work on my scene that is just completely borken with 2018 version
slow orbit
Very likely. Main issue with GPU PLM in 2018 is tons of weird lightmap artifacts for no reason.
random owl
This is how it bakes with 2018's version
slow orbit
Yep, that's the artifacts.
random owl
Not with GPU Progressive
slow orbit
No
random owl
No I mean it'll always be broken no matter what settings you put in
Can't say before I'm done testing, I'm not gonna trust it before I see it
Change the setting inside the mesh renderer
Mesh renderer that's the import settings
Select the object inside the scene
Yes
Basically yeah
2k - 4k is usually pretty good setting
@slow orbit seems that they still haven't gotten rid of this problem with 2020 GPU Progressive ๐
slow orbit
@random owl Fascinating! In Unity 2019.4.5f1 on Linux GPU PLM works flawlessly
random owl
Hmm interesting ๐ค I just had to switch down to 2k lightmap size to be able to bake
slow orbit
Were you baking at 4k?
random owl
Yeah that's what I usually bake at
slow orbit
Ah, I get the same issue at 4k. And the same lying warning.
random owl
Unity did say themselves that you need more than 12 gb of vram to bake 4k lightmap with 2018
slow orbit
I got 11GB ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
random owl
Yeah ๐
They said they would improve it for future unity versions but I guess they haven't gotten around it
slow orbit
Or just bake at 2k instead
random owl
My maps usually require 4k maps for some stuff
There's still 1 hour left on this bake the results so far at least don't look as broken as 2018 but not that good either
slow orbit
What are you doing that requires 4k lightmaps?
random owl
Big objects and lot of space needed, I could separate it to a lot of smaller maps but I prefer not to cut the objects up into pieces
I can show a example lightmap
Just takes a second to open up a second unity while the bake is happening

Does VRC_MirrorReflection process the children of objects that have their layer unselected in Reflect Layers? I'm having issues with canvas UI objects causing large frame rate drops when the mirror is active even though their layers are disabled in the mirror component.
near escarp
Unselected layer is default ?
chilly grove
They're assigned to a custom layer
I also have a low quality mirror that only has Player and MirrorReflection enabled in Reflect Layers and it also drops frames in the same way

Do you have a version of it uploaded? If you give me the world id I can go see.

Sure I can throw a build up in a moment
Can you access a private world id? I'll put it up on labs if not

Okay should be uploaded to wrld_df53914e-8462-47f1-8539-26cdeb3dca1a
random owl
Seems normal not sure why you would be lagging that much
chilly grove
The more objects you turn on in the same layer the frame rate gets worse
random owl
All the frame times seem quite normal for this world mirror or no mirror
Wouldn't suggest as having mirror auto on when you join a world though that's a death sentence to some people if they join a populated instance
chilly grove
What frame rates are you getting in front of the mirror? It jumps between 70-85 for me until the objects in that layer are disabled which pushes up the frame rate to a solid 90
random owl
I was getting 90 but now after toggling the mirror settings around I'm down on frames
chilly grove
Also if you stand at the very edge of the mirror enough so that culling kicks in the frame rate jumps back up to 90
random owl
Yeah okay the numbers are way off to what I see in the world and how many drawcalls are happening

Unfortunately disabling the menu game objects completely isn't an option since reenabling them causes the canvas to dirty and redraw which creates a large CPU spike and reprojection kicks in
So the menu runs with a canvas group and alpha set to 0
Which works fine so long as the mirror isn't enabled
But I'd expect when the mirror is enabled that all of those objects would be skipped since their layer (including the layer of the parent object) are meant to be ignored by the mirror

You can just turn them on editor only so they don't clog up the output logs

Gotcha, will do that

Can't use Udon yet since there's no video player support
But yeah there's a lot of lights in the scene, each of those floor columns has a ton of baked lights in them
The outer columns are placeholders that don't show the lighted versions

VRChat invite system died on me so I can't get back to the world anymore ๐
But yeah I can't really pinpoint what exactly is wrong, since most of the profiling data seemed to be normal only that the GPU Elapsed time jumped way more up than you would think when opening the mirror

@chilly grove Any thoughts on how to create an escalator like effect? I don't really need to animate the stair meshes, but perhaps a hidden plane at the angle of the stairs that moves the player forward. Any idea which VRC_action would work?
chilly grove
Maybe a trigger at the base of the escalator with SendRPC that calls UseStation, and one at the end that calls ExitStation?
Then animate the station
Thanks for taking a look at it anyway @random owl

this is currently what I have it set to, but when the reciever hits the collider it just goes through

[SDK2] I used the hangout player for in a world testing it many times, it suddenly stopped working without no reason at all. What's going on? Even a freshly placed prefab of the player doesnt work anymore, even though the prefab itself has no changes.
EDIT: Reimporting it helped, yet it is still unclear what caused it to break, since nothing changed on the prefab itself, at least I didnt do any changes

Also for some reason when I shoot the bolt it continues to respawn. Is there any way to make it disappear when it hits the world boundary?

Anyone here familiar with the combat system and guns?
Because I'm attempting to make a reusable combat system, and I've gotten all of the handguns down
However, I'm having trouble with the auto weapons
Any advice?

That's called View Frustum clipping. Not much you can do to prevent it, if something gets too close to the camera it gets culled.
Unity 2019 added an option to make the clipping limits more generous, but for VRChat projects that's not an option cause Unity 2018 is required.
It shouldn't happen in-game though, that's just a quirk with the editor.

@bold ibex you just select an object and press F to focus on it or alternatively Ctrl + middle mouse while pointing at something

Hey VRchat world creators. I wrote some days ago about when i would be able to get enough trust rank to publish a world. Ive logged 6 hours playtime with interaction with other players and 11 friends right now.
Although i like the community of it its taking time of the work i need to do for an online festival im attending. And since im working remotely with my client there is no way of testing the world without publishing it. (locally its fine)
Now is there any way to get in touch with the developers of VRChat to get a clear view of when and if im able to produce this world or not.?
near escarp
@gentle gate Are you unable to upload the world privately ?
gentle gate
Only if i do local testing through the SDK control panel. Not with regular build@near escarp
near escarp
You can email the hello@vrchat.com with your request, could be denied, so i'd personally suggest spending more time in the app and it should happen very soon
gentle gate
@near escarp Ok thank you. ๐ quick question. Im building with android in mind and in the control panel both windows and android support is classed as YES. That should be fine right? only been working with main VRC Prefab for the world and vrchat mobile shaders.
near escarp
Yeah that'll be fine

does someone know how to fix that error it happens lately all the time https://gyazo.com/13156961ed3835f7579b15f7eafdfa63

Always build and test before publishing, if the issue persists unity restart or cache clear

i cant even test launch it

Hey guys lately I am getting these errors which are annoying, when uploaded there doesn't seem to be a problem other than that the video player cant play videos. Im using the prefab from VRC and just put a video in so it plays when loading in into the world. I have tried using the newest SDK version, an older SDK version reinstalled that version of Unity and the problem still persists, anyone has an idea?

What sdk version was your world built for?

Hiyo
I would like to learn how to create a world for vrchat using unity but im not sure how or what to do in order to do this
Does anyone know how a begginer like me whobdoesnt know how to use unity or blender can do this?
Ping me if anyone can help

@dim veldt This should help for the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmu0vg_I5eU&t=523s
@dim veldt https://www.youtube.com/user/CyanLaser
IMPORTANT. Make a VRChat Account on there homepage. And download the VRSDK2 from there. SDK3 is more with coding. It is easier with SDK2
dim veldt
What homepage?

Hey guys, quick question. Is there any way to get an image in unity to have a transparent background other than by making it a sprite? I have this like ornamental gold outline image that Im using to decorate some walls, but sprites for some reason have like a fdlickering/ visual artifact when far away and then resolve when you get closer. I had some buttons that did this too but when I chanegd them to a material/texture and added them that way, they didnt have the same artifact/ficker/popin

will try, thanks ruuubick

I have stopped developing for VRchat because why should i when nobody is going to see it anyway.
