world-development

[random owl]

But the easiest thing to verify is to just try running the youtube-dl exe from command line and see if that runs

[foggy frost]

lemme try another player real fast

[desert python]

good idea

[foggy frost]

tried to join another world and the game crashed dope

[random owl]

Literally nothing in this message makes sense when last time youtube-dl updated was around a month ago

[desert python]

not the plugin

[random owl]

Well can you explain this "rendering protocal" you are talking about

And what kind of updates was made on it

[foggy frost]

same error in my world

lemme try another

uh went to the room of the rain and then i got the player to work there

[random owl]

Hmm room of the rain is still sdk2 since I last checked

Your picture seems to be the udon sharp player right?

[foggy frost]

yes

[random owl]

Well if youtube-dl is otherwise functioning fine not quite about that

You might have better luck asking in merlins discord about it

[foggy frost]

will do

yeah its something on my end my friend uses the ssame player in his world and it worked

[desert python]

oh yea, i had to make changes to that vp to get it work after the update

[foggy frost]

@desert python how so? what did you change

[desert python]

not sure exactly, all ik is that is what occurs now due to the changes

[foggy frost]

@desert python @random owl i know this is a dumb question but could my cache be effecting it?

[random owl]

Shouldn't be a cache issue when you can use other players fine and the error is about rate limiting

[desert python]

no, your cache shouldnt effect it. what i mean by cache is what the cache is in the servers

also, just discovered the half res problem with the video players if anyone gets the problem again

[foggy frost]

yeah i think it could be the playlist I have on the first slot of merlins player bc i played a video and it worked @desert python

yup video is unavailable smh

[desert python]

thats good

[foggy frost]

makes sense given it was a juice wrld unreleased playlist

thanks for the help appreciate you both @desert python @random owl

[mild python]

Anyone know the reason this may be happening?

Looks good in the editor but after publishing the mist breaks

World is still running on SDK2 if that helps

[desert python]

you bake it?

[mild python]

It was working before but I'm guessing one of the updates broke it

I dont think I did

[desert python]

bruh, try that and see if the trees stop soaking up the light

[mild python]

Oh

The lighting was baked yeah

I mean the particle system, the mist, that's what's breaking

[desert python]

ah i see, well then im not an expert on particle systems sorry

just lighting, and ik lighting can do that exact problem you have

[mild python]

no worries, I appreciate you tryin' to help!

[blazing crescent]

i got a world up an running can i show it off

[wispy cloud]

If those are particles then it looks like their rendering mode got set to either world or local. Setting them to View and disabling roll for VR players should fix that issue if I'm not mistaken @mild python If it's set correctly then I'd double check to make sure that your world is properly uploading changes by checking console errors and such

[upper pendant]

Updated my world now I can finally go take a nap

[bold ibex]

Is there an object within the SDK that prevents portals from being dropped in a certain area?

Cause I want to help optimize a certain map to prevent people from dropping portals in a narrow staircase.

[stuck crown]

How do i update the sdk in an existing world?

[bold ibex]

what's the defacto stream player for SDK2? I removed one from my world a while ago but would like to add one back, and hopefully whichever player is the defacto one will not have the problems that the last one had

[left thistle]

Anyway i can have a mirror show everything but particle effects that are within the world?

[analog tangle]

Anyone know what's up with vrc trigger buttons not working? When I load my vrchat world in desktop mode, I can interact with a vrc trigger button no problems, but when I load the same world in VR, the buttons don't work. it's not that I can't click them it's as if they don't exist. when I raise my hand over where it should be, there is no blue outline or use text, and no function as well. Is this some known bug, and is there a workaround to get it to work?

[near escarp]

Do you have colliders around those areas where the buttons are in ?

[analog tangle]

yes, and they function exactly as expected in desktop mode, but not in VR

[wispy cloud]

@left thistle Put all particle systems on a specific layer and then exclude that layer on the mirror. Making sure that the particles are set to View render mode would also make them invisible in mirrors since they'd be flipped backwards (unless they were double-sided shaders)

But using the first method would actually prevent them from rendering in the mirror so would be more performance friendly and is recommended anyways.

[simple bone]

Im having an issue with a world i just created
Everytime i try to join it, it will do a load loop like 4 times and then force me to join the main vrchat hub thing
I added all the requirements for a world but it keeps doing this and i dont know why

[random owl]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger or show a screenshot of it

[random owl]

Is your world supposed to be 110kb?

[near escarp]

110kb

[simple bone]

its literally a new world

[random owl]

Well in that case yeah

[simple bone]

just a cube and a scene descriptor and sum stuff

[near escarp]

Try an example scene from the sdk instead

see if that works

[simple bone]

alr

Building and testing now

Nope

The issue is still there
Game does a loop 4 times and sends me to the main vrchat hub

@near escarp

[near escarp]

Sounds like a issue on your side in that case, i'd email the support with your outputlog

!outputlog

[tawny lily]

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt

[simple bone]

wait

Can I use Unity Hub for the worlds or not?

[random owl]

Yeah?

[simple bone]

i was wondering if that couldve been the case

[random owl]

If you are just trying build & test though

Pressing the top auto fix in the world debugger might fix it

[simple bone]

ok

@random owl thank you so much

that fixed it

[random owl]

Gotcha should have thought about it when first seeing the picture but I haven't slept 😄

[simple bone]

oof

[mild python]

If those are particles then it looks like their rendering mode got set to either world or local. Setting them to View and disabling roll for VR players should fix that issue if I'm not mistaken @mild python If it's set correctly then I'd double check to make sure that your world is properly uploading changes by checking console errors and such
@wispy cloud Thank you so much! I'm going to try that once I get home

[verbal breach]

I'm having a problem with my world, I have an audioplayer but the music doesn't play once I enter the world to test it

here is the audio

and I tried putting the audiolistener both in vrcworld and in the water prefab, and none of them worked

[golden storm]

Try moving the 2D bar all the way to 3D, that works for me despite the warning on build + publish, although I do not know if this is the proper way to do this.

[verbal breach]

Well, I actually deleted the object and make a new one and suddenly worked

Then I had to change the water and delete the mirrors because for some reason the reflect material started failing

but it works now

[pastel coyote]

How can I get an object to spawn locally? the RPC doesn't work and spawnObject only seems to work globally

[manic raft]

How do I fix the virtual keyboard typing double characters when in seated mode in desktop.

[bold ibex]

Why do this happen?? It's not the first time the friggin control panel has gone missing

[near escarp]

console errors

[bold ibex]

Yeah I deleted VRC values in regedit to fix it

[random owl]

That won't really fix any possible issues inside your project

[bold ibex]

Well it did

[random owl]

Yeah in some cases it can depends on the issue

[bold ibex]

Deleted the SDK files from lé folder, incl. meta file and then flushed my regedit for VRC files in Unity

worked <.< for now

[random owl]

Did your unity crash before that happened?

[bold ibex]

Nope

I loaded some plugins and then it happened

[random owl]

If just that fixed it usually also just pressing right click reimport on the vrcsdk folder would fix it

Highly depending ofc

[bold ibex]

Welp

[random owl]

Hard to say after the fact ofc

But it's a possible easy fix

[bold ibex]

Well got myself some nice screens going on 🙂

[pliant wigeon]

Is there a way to delete parts of walls? For example if I had a wall in my world editor, If I wanted to place a window in that wall is there a way to do that?

[opaque finch]

Is there a way to trigger audio in an animation and have it behave like a vrc AudioTrigger?
I'm trying to have a wing flap sound play, and I can't disable the audio source in the animation because the sound would be cut off prematurely by the time the next cycle of the wings flapping. The behavior of AudioTrigger is what I'd like to have happen, but is there a way to replicate that in an animation?

[bold ibex]

Anyone have the updated iwa video player prefab?

[bitter idol]

What determines when and if a world gets out of labs
I published my world to labs 3 days ago and it's taking longer than my previous worlds despite having double the views almost 600 now when I got my last one public at 300 after 2 days

PS I love the glitch where sometimes a world never leaves labs despite thousands of views and months going by (my friend has that) so that's cool

[bold ibex]

I've imported the HangoutPlayer into my project but can't pull it into the scene

very strange

nothing in the console

downloaded a different one and same issue

i can pull other ones in

what is happening?

opening an example scene, it says 'missing prefab' in the scene

I have a message in the console now, idk if it's related

I'm guessing it's because the unity version of this project is outdated

[bold ibex]

yes

[bold ibex]

now i'm getting the reverse issue 😳

many of the prefabs in the world are now 'missing' with the error above

googling it brings up some results but no solutions

[bold ibex]

i removed probuilder and progrids and restarted and now it's processing all the files in the project so hopefully that was the issue

[verbal breach]

anyone knows why this is happening?

I'm allowed to publish worlds and avatars, I have been doing it for a while, but now the tab doesn't appear

[bold ibex]

does it show 'build ___' under 'VRChat SDK' in the nav?

[iron gale]

preparing for upload

unity dead

when i upload

anyone knows why this is happening?

[vale smelt]

So recently i created my first world, and I uploaded it, realized there were some problems, deleted the world, and re uploaded it, but now when i try and join the world it loads, and when i press go it just goes to another loading screen and it loads into my home world. Anyone know the fix?

[random owl]

From that error it's as if your pipeline manager is broken might wanna check it and try to detach the id

[random owl]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger

[vale smelt]

does anyone know how to make a button that turns on and off post processing effects?

[near escarp]

same as any other button but make it turn on/off the post processing volume

[vale smelt]

oh ok thanks

[eternal galleon]

Im having an issue when I open my worlds sdk and then it starts to slow down and takes over 10 seconds to register a click.

[near escarp]

how big is your project folder ?

[eternal galleon]

4gb

[rain shadow]

@eternal galleon You mean starts to slow down when trying to use the VRC SDK build panel?

[eternal galleon]

only that panel

[rain shadow]

https://vrchat.canny.io/sdk-bug-reports/p/sdk2202005061214-build-control-panel-laggy-when-large-number-of-objects-with-sam probably this issue then

@spark bolt Totally not the place to ask

[spark bolt]

a

[vale smelt]

how would you recommend going about disabling your mirror whenever someone walks a certain distance away from it

[halcyon wren]

is there a way to exclude a specific object from being affected by post processing

[near escarp]

nope

[spark bolt]

Is it possible to disable an entire room when you leave it via use of a trigger? Basically make it de-render when you're out of the trigger, and render when you're in the trigger.

[near escarp]

You just disable the room object, and anything inside the room should be children objects

[supple drift]

Ideally you'd wanna use Occlusion Portals for that instead of triggers though because you could run into issues if you locally disable game objects that do broadcasting/synced stuff

I guess you could just disable the Mesh Renderer components on the objects too

[spark bolt]

Yeah what I'm doing is making a box collider, making that a trigger, and attaching the vrc trigger thing so when the player enters the trigger the room will appear

working on it tho..

Hrmm, I think I'm doing it wrong..

Would someone be able to take a look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[soft zephyr]

What's the simplest way to make health bars with UIs?

[spark bolt]

There's probably a tutorial on youtube on that.

[soft zephyr]

i have yet to find one for that specifically @spark bolt

[supple drift]

Doing this in VRC will prob require you to use an animator to handle it, but it's basically just changing the 'Image Type' to 'Filled' on a UI Image, setting up everything else to fit your design and then animating the Fill Amount

[supple drift]

Untick 'Trigger Individuals'

• change layer to PlayerLocal only

[verbal stream]

what unity do I need for worlds?

[past wave]

same as avatars, 2018.4.20f1

[verbal stream]

Well, for some reason I cannot move my camera around, can only look around

Why is this?

I can turn and look around, I cant move around if that makes sense

[past wave]

do you know the unity camera movement controls?

[mint steeple]

is there a reason why i can't play test the world

[near escarp]

you should use basic tutorials to avoid very simple issues like that

[golden storm]

Add VRCWORLD from the VRCSDK you downloaded to your heirarchy, that should fix it for you

[golden storm]

look like this

[mint steeple]

ok cool

[stiff badge]

for some reason when i press build and publish.. the window appears but its stuck on default and i cant change the values and name, or anything

[sharp bloom]

i have no idea what i did

i am just trying to upload my map right now so i can check how it looks in vrchat

suddenly i have new ui that isnt asking community labs and im thinking its for trusted users or something

yet i cant upload since upload button does nothing

nevermind, issue seems to be that i just had an avatar in the scene that had its own vrc describer on it, just had to remove it to get the proper upload ui

[iron island]

until now, i still fail to migrate my world from 2017 to 2018 🥲

[fathom plinth]

Hi people, I want to create a world for a school project but since I am a new user of VR Chat it doesnt allow me to upload any worlds. Can somebody tell me if there is a way for me to gain acces to this function? And if not, is it common that other users upload my world for me?

I can create the world in unity and I have the right vrchat packages installed, it's just that my account doesnt have acces to upload

[warm rose]

morning I just tryed to update an old world to the newest SDK and I am not getting anything from the SDK to show up its saying no scripts on my items that has vrc triggers

[golden storm]

You have to play VRCHAT for ~ 24 hours to earn the new user rank that allows you to upload worlds + avatars

[fathom plinth]

@golden storm aight, not really great for new creaters is it

[bold ibex]

question, is there a somewhat understandable tutorial for how to make cars on a world?

[short gulch]

I would use a prefab as a base if I were you. I can't remember the name of the person that sent me theirs but I found it to handle more like an actual car than any of the other publicly available prefab. I'll try to find a link to it

Unless you want to go the extra mile and make your own from scratch that is.

Found the link. https://drive.google.com/open?id=11boGQsdbtMytq73Njkd9_IK05U5T6cxE

@bold ibex

[bold ibex]

thanks

[golden storm]

the standard assets come with car and plane prefabs w/ animations as well

i think its the standard assets, i'll double check

[short gulch]

Oh yeah you're going to need to import the standard assets too. Forgot to mention that 😬

Its dependant on them

[bold ibex]

Still learning how to do all of this stuff as I go on.

[ocean jackal]

Having a problem getting into my test build for my new world. Every time it tries to load it just quits and begins loading my home world instead. Also when I try to just publish it and test it that way this pops up.

how does one compile the scene is what I need to know I suppose

[random owl]

Errors stopping the scene from building check your console afterwards

[ocean jackal]

it was a lighting addon I got from the asset store that caused the issue

-sigh- nevermind

okay I tried again and it's for some reason working

I'll take it

[woven cosmos]

Can anyone guide me in the right direction on how to have chairs with different poses?

[warm rose]

Is it possible that i can get some help? Haveing trouble on updating the vrc SDK in a project that was last updated a year ago, i did what the help page said to do and now its not showing any scripts

[random owl]

Check your console for errors

[warm rose]

It said something about sdk shaders i am not at home right now but here in about an hour

[random owl]

Ok

Well I can't really read your mind for what that was

[warm rose]

I'll look when i get home

[random owl]

Alright

[tribal lake]

so if i click Build & Test under VR Chat SDK tab, it loads up VR Chat, but doesn't take me to my new world im working on. it like jitters then loads me into default world

[random owl]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger

[random owl]

Looking at that firstly I'm worried for your world performance

Second I would press that top autofix and check your console for why your build is failing

[tribal lake]

uh why's that? and sorry im new to all of this. 1st time ever lol

[random owl]

Well you should never have a mirror always on/on by default definitely not two

And I'm not really sure what those 7 cameras are but depending on what they are doing that sounds worrying

[random owl]

Now enable errors from the top right

[tribal lake]

is that the red stop sign?

[random owl]

Yes that would be the one

[tribal lake]

i

[random owl]

Delete the script mentioned in the error

[tribal lake]

uh i deleted it

i think it sjust broken

its the sky world

[random owl]

Yeah the script in question is broken

[tribal lake]

bc my entire world is dark/black

[random owl]

If you search it up you can find multiple rants by me of that specific script

[tribal lake]

omg haha

i guess ill just wipe thjat

[random owl]

The script itself is just a hyperlink to their website

[tribal lake]

oh

[random owl]

You can use the skyboxes in the package

As long as you delete the script

[tribal lake]

its workin 🙂

its loading

the green bar

(its never done this yet)

@random owl ok... so the entire world is bitch black. there was like pink boxes here and there. and it then crashes

[random owl]

Well I'm not surprised with what I said above about the performance

[tribal lake]

so delete cameras

[random owl]

Cameras are fine just don't have them always on and def not from the start

Same with the mirrors

[tribal lake]

why not mirrors

isnt it just reflecting?

[random owl]

Well to reflect something you need to render everything the mirror is reflecting twice

[tribal lake]

& wdym not alwasy on from start. do u mean liike disable it in unity by unchecking its visibility?

[random owl]

Disable the game object and have a button to turn it on

A single mirror in itself is enough to lag some people out with lower spec computers

[tribal lake]

ohh

ill worry about that later then and addin gbuttoms. ill just keep it disabled for now

so what about the lighting

why?s it so dark. with that like one i think directional light shining down...did the like sky world tun off or something? or is this the rendered lighting for when it goes into VR Chat?

[random owl]

Well for that the only fix is to learn how to do lighting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E0JXOZDTKA

[tribal lake]

@random owl thank you for your help!!!greatly appreciated!!!

[warm rose]

@random owl i am now home I'll send a screenshot of the problem

[warm rose]

This is the error I get when I update the SDK

[warm rose]

okay did that and now this is what I get

do I just re input the SDK?

[random owl]

Well that's just outdated post processing not compatible with unity 2018 throwing errors

Not related to the sdk

Now a days you should get your post processing from the package manager

Depending on if that's old v1 you will need to set it up again

[warm rose]

okay

[dusk sapphire]

are all mirrors in a world suddenly going white a world specific bug or vrchat specific?

oh i think i know why, i tried to take a panorama

yep, disregard

[river maple]

Hellooo~
May I ask how this was solved? I have the same problem.

[random owl]

I mean if it's the exact same error you have multiple pipeline managers in your scene

Search for them in the hierarchy with t:pipelinemanager

[river maple]

Ahh okay thanks!

[neat badger]

Do I need to have a rigidbody with iskinematic on an empty object I put a box collider on to have a player collide with it?

[lethal moss]

a rigidbody isn't needed for the player to collide with it.

from the Unity docs: "You can add colliders to a GameObject without a Rigidbody component to create floors, walls and other motionless elements of a Scene. These are referred to as static colliders. At the opposite, colliders on a GameObject that has a Rigidbody are known as dynamic colliders. Static colliders can interact with dynamic colliders but since they don’t have a Rigidbody, they don’t move in response to collisions."

[warm rose]

@random owl yeah I am still having trouble, the project is coming from an older version of unity, I am sorry I am not getting this down, I just don't want to start all over on the project

[spark bolt]

Aight so I somehow just broke my world. The teleporter doors work (you just click on them) A-okay on desktop mode, but they don't work in VR mode.

Two of the doors work in vr mode if you get your hand right on up in that collider but it's very finnicky. Not a clue what could be causing this kinda thing since I don't remember messing with any of these teleporters. Anyone had this kinda issue before?

nvm figured it out. triggers were getting in the way of the door triggers.

[random owl]

Can't really say much since you didn't mention what's still going wrong.

[warm rose]

Oh sorry, when i update the sdk to the current sdk it doesn't show up, i did what the site said to do and then i tryed doing what i thought would work but nothing lol

[bold ibex]

What does it mean when it says to test/compile full scene?

[bold ibex]

I'm not sure where to put this but I'm trying to make a world in vrchat and right now I just have a simple default floor and a spawn point, I tried to test the world to make sure I can spawn in but it just gets stuck on a black screen and doesn't load. Can anyone help?

If anyone can help, please dm or ping me.

[snow pawn]

hey does anybody know where I can find premade chess prefrabs or any prefab games I can add to my world to make it more entertaining?

[random owl]

Are there still errors in your console?

[random owl]

It means you have errors stopping the scene from building

[random owl]

Could import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger
https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases

[bold ibex]

That worked thanks a lot

[frigid wind]

For worlds using the VRCChair Prefab / VRC_Station how do you setup a custom sitting idle animation? For example sitting on the floor. I've been trying to use the VRC_Station Animation Controller parameter, but nothing seems to work.

[warm rose]

@random owl yes

[random owl]

Gotta solve them to make the console show up.

[warm rose]

okay

what I am having trouble is when I update the sdk its doesn't show the sdk options

[random owl]

Well yeah if you have compile errors then nothing won't show up no matter what is causing it

Things in unity run together if one thing breaks others will as well basically put

Fastest would be if you posted more screenshot of your console after pressing clear once so I can tell you what to do

[warm rose]

the one is that has more errors is the one before I updated, the other is the most current one and the sdk options dont show

[random owl]

Well if I wasn't clear enough when I told you this a bit above what I said about your old post processing not being compatible with 2018 you need to delete the asset for things to start working again

[warm rose]

okay, all the asset or the sdk file in the asset?

[random owl]

The folder called PostProcessing in your assets folder this problem isn't caused by the sdk

[warm rose]

oh okay

I am sorry

[random owl]

No worries

I didn't really straight up tell you that before except say what was broken

[warm rose]

that work thank you buddy

[obtuse zealot]

hope this is the right place to ask-- are you able to vertex paint materials w/ height blending in VRChat worlds using PolyBrush and some shader work, or any other method? I couldn't find anything on the subject googling it, and I'm completely new to the limitations that come with VRChat scenes

[random owl]

Anything works as long as you don't have to run c# scripts in game

If something is just running using a shader based on vertex colors in a mesh that should have no problem in working

[obtuse zealot]

awesome, ty! so basically anything that's not runtime will work fine?

that's really handy if I can use tools like Houdini plugins etc

[random owl]

Yeah as long as you do the main work in editor there should be no problems

[near nova]

does anyone know how to setup damagebased NPCs wich can do Ranged attacks ? with the sdk2 i know theres a great system in the store im just not sure if it still works with the newest SDK

the system that used to work wich im refering to is Emerald AI 2.0

[bold ibex]

Never seen this before.

[random owl]

Check your console for errors

[bold ibex]

There was a random script in there.

[random owl]

Well sounds like the problem then

[bold ibex]

Yeah I found it and deleted, now it's just a matter of being able to publish to labs.

[dusk sapphire]

is there a way to have a ui panel on a pick up object without the pick up grab taking priority over the ui panel when targetting the ui panel? aside from making sure they're not on top of each other

i want to have a book pick up with a ui panel on it, but having the panel on the book you end up grabbing the book when trying to use the menu

[bold ibex]

how to turn on collision on an object?

[bold ibex]

which one?

theres a bunch

box collider?

[golden storm]

Is it possible to use google street view as a skybox in a specific location?

[misty aspen]

bump, i'd like to know this too

[sacred warren]

I'm familiar with worlds not updating as they fail compilation and don't upload, but recently I'm having issues with worlds wherein they compile, they spend a while uploading, everything seems fine, but they haven't updated. The update time on the site still shows the old update time/date. Any ideas what it could be? (no critical errors in the console other than the cruft that the recent SDKs throw out normally). The odd thing is that occasionally it actually will update. I can't see a rhyme or reason for it.

[bold ibex]

I messed up my vrcchair does anyone know how to reset it?

[random owl]

You really have a knack for having problems with the sdk lately.

Not sure what's happening there though without having a deeper look.

[sacred warren]

Yeah, quite frustrating.

[bold ibex]

How do I get buttons to work?
I've given a cube the vrc_Trigger and to toggle an object on interact. Am I missing something?

[rain shadow]

@bold ibex What part isn't working? the interact highlight or the action if you do press the button

[bold ibex]

The interact highlight.

[rain shadow]

Does it have a collider on the game object with the trigger?

[bold ibex]

No it does not.

[rain shadow]

It needs one, add a box collider component to the gameobject

[opaque chasm]

how do i go on adding post processing/bloom effects in my world

if i add post processing to my unity scene will that add it to the world as well when i upload or is it more than that

[rain shadow]

Once you setup a camera with post processing all you need to do then is assign it as the reference camera in the vrc world descriptor

[opaque chasm]

@rain shadow how do i assign it as a reference camera?

is it here

the 'VRCWorld'

[rain shadow]

@opaque chasm Yeah just drag the camera from the scene into that reference camera slot can also click the circle button to select from list

[opaque chasm]

okay i'll try that, anything i should know optimization wise?

another thing, some avatars have this happening in my world, how do i do it so it doesn't happen?

it makes some stuff look like some weird basic shader

[rain shadow]

No baked lighting / light probes?

If you are looking in a mirror real time lights wont show by default unless you uncheck the disable pixel lights option on the mirror component

[opaque chasm]

hm no this is outside mirrors too

unless you are referring to the optimization part

[rain shadow]

Then I would guess you are just lacking light probes / baked lighting

[opaque chasm]

you're saying there's not enough light in the world/area?

like the point lights and stuff or

sorry i haven't messed with my world for a year now

[rain shadow]

Do you know what baked lighting is?

[opaque chasm]

i heard about it, my world currently uses real time lights, i need to change them to baked as i heard it's far better for optimization, i remember trying and it seemed very complicated but i'll try to get into it again

so will that fix once i change the real time lights to baked lights or?

[rain shadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKgUJccjWRU

[opaque chasm]

thank you i'll try that one out

[rain shadow]

Real time has a lot of drawbacks s

[opaque chasm]

anything i should know optimization wise regarding the post processing layers?

[rain shadow]

If you are only using one post processing volume not really

[opaque chasm]

and if i want a toggle for the post processing effects, how would that go?

[rain shadow]

You can just toggle the post processing volume

[opaque chasm]

don't toggles work with objects? how would i toggle a script

[rain shadow]

There is SetGameObjectActive and SetComponentActive

You can just toggle the post process volume game object though

Will work the same

[opaque chasm]

that would be the camera correct?

[rain shadow]

no

Put the post process volume script on a separate game object

[opaque chasm]

but the post processing script would be on the camera so won't i need to toggle off the camera

[rain shadow]

The camera needs the post process layer script

[opaque chasm]

oh yeah and then the script is on a new game object

true true

okay thank you 💕

[bold ibex]

do anyone know how to make a room unlock if there is no one in there?

[untold fossil]

Audio override box broken again?

[opaque chasm]

i have my world at almost 100 mb, is there a way to know what causes that the most or?

[near escarp]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases

[opaque chasm]

oh pog

[opaque chasm]

@rain shadow hmm i added post processing layer to my camera and volume to a game object and my scene looks good, i put the camera in the VRC_Scene descriptor and the world is the same

did i do something wrong

[rain shadow]

If you downloaded that toolkit I'm pretty sure it can check for you if you have done something wrong with post processing

[opaque chasm]

hm i imported it but it started to give me script errors so i gave it up for now

but uhm i have the scene set up with the post processing settings i want while the layer is on the camera and set as reference camera

so i'm not sure why it's not changing when i build&test

[random owl]

The toolkit will throw errors if you aren't on a recentish version of the sdk

Not quite on what you mean on "it's not changing"

[opaque chasm]

uhm i might be using old sdk

and idk the effects are just not displayed in game

[random owl]

What about your volume and layer?

[opaque chasm]

its on the main camera which i set up as reference camera

and a separate game object for the volume, i put it as child of the camera but i don't think that matters

[random owl]

That would matter because the reference camera you have get's destroyed for the games own camera

[opaque chasm]

hmm okay let me try to rebuild as a separate object and not child

[iron island]

OMFG after update what happen to my world

[opaque chasm]

what shader are u using

[iron island]

standard

[opaque chasm]

hm weird that shouldn't be broken unless it's broken in your project somehow and you re uploaded

[random owl]

If update broke standard there would be a lot more complaints about now

[iron island]

not touch this world in 1 week

[opaque chasm]

maybe a re upload would work idk that's odd

@random owl and no that didn't work sadly

[random owl]

Well I can't really see much else from the cropped up pictures

[opaque chasm]

what do you want to see that could cause it

[random owl]

Well first same pictures not cropped up

[opaque chasm]

@random owl

[random owl]

What version of post processing do you have?

[opaque chasm]

v2

[random owl]

What specific version of it

[opaque chasm]

hm not sure someone sent it to me, where can i check

i got the world toolkit thing working now but not sure how it works either

[random owl]

Show me VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger

And you shouldn't be using a post processing version imported from outside of unity in 2018

2018 has the built in package manager where you can import and manage packages including post processing

[opaque chasm]

i don't have the package manager that's why i asked someone to send me

its just not there idk

[random owl]

Starting to sound like a bigger peoblem in that case

[dusk sapphire]

oh god please fix that second warning lol

[random owl]

Agreed

There is a rare case of having certain archwiz assets in your project that cause post processing to break in game

Which is a lot harder to notice

[opaque chasm]

yea sounds like a pain this is an old world project, really messy

weird

[random owl]

But from all that you def got the post processing setup right so the failure is in something else

[opaque chasm]

something here maybe?

[random owl]

That's just best practice suggestions

[opaque chasm]

no way to pinpoint what it is?

[random owl]

I've programmed detection for any normal case of post processing going wrong into the debugger so if my code isn't finding anything I prob won't find anything easily

You could try searching the project assets for any post processing assets from asset packs and removing them if they aren't in use

[opaque chasm]

i found a few post processing related scripts that are in some random package i imported before

also i saw some textures are really big in size, i found a few 4k textures and reduced them to about 500 pixels and the build size stays the same, weird

gonna try to re upload with new sdk see if that does anything to the postprocessing

[rain shadow]

@opaque chasm What do you mean you don't have the package manager? I don't even think its possible to not have it in 2018

[opaque chasm]

idk it's not there

[random owl]

It's possible def if you remove it

It's just an extension not actually baked in

[opaque chasm]

hm

[random owl]

Could get it back for you though

[opaque chasm]

that'd be good, how do i do that

[rain shadow]

I would guess the difference is if you installed with unity hub or not

[random owl]

Not really

Can you go to your projects root folder then into the packages folder and post the manifest from there

[opaque chasm]

hm it's a .json file, how do i open that

the folder is there but its empty

[random owl]

Hmm let me send you a new one then to put in there

[opaque chasm]

kay

also when i import sdk i get this error

[random owl]

Or wait did you check the "Packages" folder or the one selected?

[opaque chasm]

i deleted that script and it fixes it but idk if it does anything bad?

Packages has the manifest as i said but its .json file how do i open that

[random owl]

Any text editor

[random owl]

🤔

You do have the ui installed according to that

You could close out of unity and try replacing with this

[opaque chasm]

i'll try

also what do i do about that sdk error if you know
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/361741445352259584/787225539990913085/unknown.png?width=1440&height=355

[random owl]

What's the full error for the top one?

The bottom errors could be explained by having a script that defines a button class without a namespace somewhere

This project seems kind of a mess tbh

[opaque chasm]

might be this vacuumshaders thing

[random owl]

Well you have two of it conflicting

[opaque chasm]

okay so i deleted all vacuum shader thing and package manager is back

still got that sdk thing tho on its own

no idea what that vac shader was but i remember it causing issues on my avatar project too

[random owl]

Having two of anything at the same time would cause problems

[opaque chasm]

hmm so i'll delete my current post processing

and do it with the one i get from package manager?

[random owl]

Yeah 2.3.0 version prefrably

The sdk error would need to be resolved as well though

But it's a bit harder to trackdown

Can you show the full message on it

[opaque chasm]

hmm these are the full ones

nothing else other than the sdk errors this time, just these two

other sdk work fine weird enough

tho the world kit wouldn't

worked*

[random owl]

There's only one asset I can think of from the top of my head that would cause that error but it's for sdk3

[opaque chasm]

i guess i can't get rid of unityeventfilter script? cuz error just gone if i do

idk if the sdk will work right tho

[random owl]

Can't really guarantee it will but 🤷

[opaque chasm]

deleted my sdk completely to see if there's anything else

maybe this can help

[runic epoch]

how can i set up a spacial audio source to be the same volume no matter where you are in the given area?

/you cant tell where it's coming from

[random owl]

Set the audio source to be 2d

[runic epoch]

i dont want the whole world to hear it

[random owl]

Hmm not the best to answer audio questions esp since I'm on my phone

[random owl]

I would get rid of that customizable furniture scripts folder

[opaque chasm]

@runic epoch what does your audio source scripts look like

[opaque chasm]

hm i think i have some furnitures i use from that folder

maybe i can just delete the scripts in there or something?

[random owl]

But do you use the scripts?

[opaque chasm]

yea no

hm deleted any script in there now im left with the 2 poiyomi ones (deleted sdk completely for now)

[random owl]

The poiyomi ones will stay if theres no sdk

[snow pawn]

hey does anyone have any clock prefabs that I could use?

any links?

[opaque chasm]

ah lemme import it then

@snow pawn hmm i think vrcprefabs has one

or just unity store might have for free

[snow pawn]

could u send me a link?

[opaque chasm]

hm if i remember right just google 'twitter vrcprefabs' link should be there

[random owl]

VRCPrefabs is also pinned on this channel

But honestly I might doze back off @opaque chasm so that's enough unraveling of the project for me for now

[opaque chasm]

yeah i'm deleting a bunch of garbage hopefully something fixes it

thanks a lot for your time i appreciate it ❤️

i'll figure it out and hopefully the next post processing package works

[runic epoch]

:c

[opaque chasm]

@runic epoch you don't want the audio to be in the whole world?

[runic epoch]

no

just one area

[snow pawn]

@random owl without you being in this discord I wouldn't even see the point of going to these channels and asking for help. ur the most helpful person on the discord

[wise cobalt]

Has the new update broke PlayerAudioOverride? it seems to not be working in my world for my microphone

[opaque chasm]

is there a way to make it so avatar pedestals are not affected by post processing

the avatar icons are way too bright

tho the intensity of the bloom and stuff aren't that high at all

[uneven depot]

is anyone having unity crash right after it imports the newest sdk?

[maiden harbor]

Where's Advanced Mode and Show Help

[opal idol]

Hey, I'm trying to get audio clips played through VRC_Audio Bank by random time triggering with OnTimer but whenever I play the scene the VRC_Trigger disables itself and error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Why does it keep disabling itself?

[opal idol]

Why does my Trigger not initialize in time?

[livid current]

@opal idol is it the same sound playing over and over?

In that case I would recommend making the sound as one big audiofile instead of repeating it, also helps with world optimization

[opal idol]

@livid current It's a element list of different sound clips I want to play in a random order.
I've tried moving the VRC_Trigger component to a completely different gameobject and it still has problems initializing in time, But I'll try the world optimization advice you told me! thanks

[untold fossil]

Any update on the audio over ride being broken again?

attempted reupload didnt work

[vapid badge]

so looking through stuff, seems like the sync video stream component functions as master only all the time, even if triggers that concern it are set to local. Is there any way to have it be entirely local?

[mossy fog]

Hello, Ive been experiencing an issue where the VRC_Player Audio Override stoped working, here is my setup:

I ve tried making another Player Audio Override in a different world to make sure, but it did not work either.

[random owl]

You are the third person to mention it now so it might really be broken

[mossy fog]

interestingly enough it seems to work in another world (not mine), I dont know if this world is 3.0 or 2.0.

[random owl]

Since post processing gets added on top of everything else we can't really stop it from affecting certain things with what we got acceess to

[random owl]

Did you try the "jump" test?

[mossy fog]

Please elaborate

@random owl

[random owl]

Since sdk2 and sdk3 default locomotion is different

[mossy fog]

ohh, I know what you mean now.

It seems to be sdk2 at first glance but the locomotion behavior can easly be changed in sdk3, so that is no guarentee.

[random owl]

Yeah can't be sure sadly

A friend mentioned they will be testing it soon as well and they'll most likely make a bug report on canny about it if they confirm it

[mossy fog]

currently running a test with absurd values.

Higher priority levels aswell as setting it as global did nothing. Same goes for changes regarding the gain, near and far setting (tested with a gain up to 50).

For everyone wondering, it seems as it stopped working across the board see https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/vrcplayeraudiooverride-sdk-does-not-work

[vapid badge]

is there any way to make a stream player locally synced?
why is this so difficult?
I have a radio set up that uses the stream player, with several streams lined up, and a simple next/previous button setup. The idea being, a person can at their whim change the channel.

but because it is a stream, it is master only, even if triggers are set to local.

[rose lynx]

Does anyone know how to add music to a vrc world in unity?

[high arrow]

hey guys, i'm having trouble getting chairs to work properly in my world, smaller avatars about 3ft tall sit in them perfectly, but a 5-6ft avatar looks like they're floating a foot in the air above the bench. Do any of you know how to create a chair that works for multiple sizes of avatars?

@rose lynx yeah, i'll send you a screenshot from mine showing how I set it up

[rose lynx]

Alright thanks

[high arrow]

waiting for my world to re-upload at the moment... having texture issues that are showing up neon pink in my world

do you have any idea how to solve the issue for chairs?

[rose lynx]

No clue sorry, its my first time making a world

[high arrow]

ah fair enough, good luck man, i'll send you a quick snap of how i setup audio

if you add your music like that, it has to be in .mp3 format or .wav

[unborn elk]

Did you try Customizable Fixed Chair prefab from Splinks @high arrow ?

[proven cliff]

is there an easy way to adjust world scale if it is too large in vrc without having to reposition lighting and objects?

[worn arrow]

Theoretically, could one create a world layout in an external 3d modeling program (AutoCAD, SolidEdge/SolidWorks, etc.) then import it into unity? I would find it easier to use a 3D modeling software I'm more familiar with if possible

Feel free to @ me or pm me

[desert python]

@worn arrow bro. unity does fbx and obj, any cad or vertix modeling programs will work if they can export models

and never diss autocad

calling it external

[rose lynx]

Thrres one more thing that I need help with, sorry its my first time making a world. I added the vrc pickup script but it doesn't let me pick up the object when I build test it, I turned off gravity and turned on manipulation, does anyone know the problem?

[lethal moss]

you can take your whole scene, all of its game objects (expect the vrcworld and camera perhaps) and put them all under one empty parent object. then change the scale of that parent object as desired. I think that should do it.

[lethal moss]

make sure it has a collider

[glacial yoke]

Is anyone having problems uploading worlds? mine won't let me click upload

[rose lynx]

Collider behavior?

[lethal moss]

collider component

[rose lynx]

Which one?

[lethal moss]

depends on the shape of your object

if its a ball you'd want a sphere

[rose lynx]

Its a Christmas ornament so yeah

[lethal moss]

a box works in most cases

ah

[rose lynx]

So how do I make it so that when I put it down it just stays still in the air? When I try to put it down when I build test it it just floats awsy

[random owl]

You most likely got multiple pipeline managers in your scene by accident, search for them in the hierarchy with t:pipelinemanager

[glacial yoke]

That doesnt look to be the case unfortunately :( Heres the errors I have:

[random owl]

That error would indicate the same

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
Import this and VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger

[glacial yoke]

ok

that worked! thanks !!

[lethal moss]

on the rigid body component you want to check the kinematic button

[frigid estuary]

what layer can i hide objects on for the camera?

[rose lynx]

@lethal moss thank you for helping me😅

[random owl]

IIRC "UI" layer is not shown on cameras

[frigid estuary]

thank you :3

Can someone maybe help me with the vrc mirror reflection script ? (i really don't get how to setup the mirror properly so it works)

I tried other script that worked fine in unity but doesn't work in vr

[random owl]

The other script?

There's not gonna be really many scripts that you could use in vrchat

[bold ibex]

https://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/MirrorReflection4

[random owl]

You can't use custom scripts in vrchat

All you really need to do is drag the mirror prefab in your scene

[bold ibex]

That is the problem everything is double rendering and only the half of the mesh does it

With the vrc_mirror reflection

[random owl]

Using the prefab mirror?

If you are using a custom mesh it needs to be setup properly for it to work properly

[bold ibex]

1 sec i reinstall everything fast again

ok i put it in but its invisible what now ?

[random owl]

Show me a picture?

[random owl]

You are looking at it from the wrong side

[bold ibex]

Ohh ups >_<

Thank you for the help ^^

[random owl]

No worries

[bold ibex]

Is it normal that the avatars look very pixelated in the mirror as I move away from them? I looked around other worlds and tested their mirrors and it looks normal there.

[rain shadow]

@bold ibex Is the mirror resolution setting not set as auto?

[bold ibex]

I set it to 1024

[rain shadow]

Yeah set it to auto for highest

[bold ibex]

Ohh

Thx 🙂

[bold ibex]

What is the problem?

I tried to use build & test but it leads to the home

yet it's not the first time I've loaded a world, and I know how to do it

[rain shadow]

@bold ibex Check the console tab for errors

[bold ibex]

In the join the trigger fires twice, how do I solve?

It activates twice, both the music and the particles

[rain shadow]

Change it from AlwaysUnbuffered to local

Are there any discord servers that focus mainly on world building?

[neat zodiac]

Anyone know how to fix vrc chair overrides?
I have a chair that I am trying to play dances on and when the user tries to leave the chair they are stuck standing and can not move. They have to leave the world fully.

please @ me if so!

[brazen cargo]

Is there any world building discord servers just like the avatar ones? If not, I made one just in case there are none in existance. DM me for an invite.

[grizzled portal]

whenever i go to build and test my world, it loads up the old, un-updated version. How do i fix this? I made a lot of changes but it wont open the changed world just the old one.

[random owl]

Check your console for build errors after trying to build

[bold ibex]

is project audio broken? It was working before the update happened and now my stage doesnt amplify music anymore

[copper quartz]

I divided the meshes for rooms in my world to fix the issues of reflection probes being applied to the wrong rooms.
However this has brought an issue with it...

There are now seams at the edge of each section caused by the baked lighting

Is there a direct solution to this or is there a better way of managing my blend probes so they don't get applied to the wrong meshes?

[rain shadow]

@copper quartz Increase lightmap padding

[copper quartz]

How would i go about that?

[copper quartz]

padding doesn't seem to help too much in most areas, any other suggestions?

[rain shadow]

@copper quartz How much did you increase it by?

If you increased it by 4-6 and still had those issues you might want to consider making lightmap UVs manually

[copper quartz]

I upped it to 10 from 5 initially, then to 50 with no change

[reef yacht]

Is anyone out there
who has the prefab for those driveable vehicles you see everywhere now
with the switch that turns the "vehicle" on and you sort of wear it?

whoops looks like that's potentially Udon

[sinful laurel]

How do i fix this 😐

Anyone?

[random owl]

Well this channel is for sdk2 and not sdk3/udon, but you would check your console for errors and solve them

[sinful laurel]

It's when i switched it android it started doing that

[random owl]

You would still check your console for errors

[red perch]

I’m new to making worlds does anyone know how to fix this

[sinful laurel]

But i can't open the menu

[random owl]

The console is a unity window?

Ctrl + Shift + C

[near escarp]

The error tells you that there is more than one scene descriptor, remove the others, most likely a duplicate vrcworld prefab

[random owl]

You find the gameobjects with the scene descriptors and remove one of them t:vrcscenedescriptor to search in hierarchy

[sleek willow]

Maybe I would have to use Udon for this but, would there be a way to create an item that you could pick up in a world that when used by the world owner/master it could project your voice as world audio?
I want to create something that can do that for a world that'll be a little on the bigger side, and since we like to call people over for group photos, it would be easier than running across the whole map.

[golden storm]

Hi, does enabling Auto Generate in scene lighing while you work make your baking time shorter? Well, not shorter but is it an alternative to baking everything at the end? Is that how that works?

• and then turning it off before uploading to VRC

[desert python]

i mean, everytime you add something, the itll restart which can cause lag and slow you down a bit while adding stuff

[golden storm]

So not using Auto and clicking Generate Lighting as I add objects, is it the same as clearing the lighting data and starting over each time?

For context, I have a lighting issue with one object, and I wanted to make small changes to my settings and check the lighting each time to narrow down the issue.

[rain shadow]

If you are using enlighten it can be beneficial otherwise disable it if you are using the progressive lightmapper

[desert python]

i would make that one object static and keep messing with it until it works. however, if its just blurring out or having fragments, you may need to generate uvs for it

[golden storm]

Amazing! Thank you both!

[thick granite]

i'm trying to build and test in non-vr, but vrchat launches itself in vr anyways. is there any way i can fix this?

[rain shadow]

@thick granite Under settings on the SDK build panel you need to set the installed client path to your VRChat.exe

[livid current]

Anyone knows this problem? it says its problem with LAZY in the SDK2. I tried make a new unity project and only import the SDK2, fresh new SDK2 from the website, still same problem.

Assets\VRCSDK\Dependencies\VRChat\Scripts\Validation\WorldValidation\UnityEventFilter.cs(45,33): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Lazy<>' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hi everyone, I hope y'all are doing great
I need some help with my school project
I need these 6 screens (8 really, but whatever) to start playing at the same time (or close). They were working that way till yesterday when I added the 2 new screens and now I can't get them all to start the way I intended. A user of Reddit told me that having more than 1 VRC_SyncVideoPlayer is a very bad idea, sooo, what can I do? Bc right now I can't change the way the room is (to place only 1 screen for example)
Here I tried adding 5 seconds of delay for each screen but got the same result.

(sorry for the long text)

[snow torrent]

well not too entirely sure what i did differently, other than add one more pedestal

[covert hornet]

What layer do avatars (players) exist on?

[lethal moss]

your layer is 'PlayerLocal', other people to you are 'Player'

[outer terrace]

Fun question. I have two TextMeshPro objects. I have one RPC that sets the first TextMeshPro text (to act as a master). I want the second one to get the text from the first one and set itself to the same value.
I don't know what to put in the value box on the set_text method. It looks like this (since I can't send images). This is the VRC_Trigger component on Child1 (a TMP text object)

SendRPC
Receivers = Master1
Method = TextMeshPro.get_text
Targets = Local

SendRPC
Receivers = Child1
Method = TextMeshPro.get_text
Targets = Local
value = ?

[random owl]

Why can't you send a image?

[random owl]

You are on the right version of unity right? And for those new projects you are literally just importing the sdk to them and nothing else?

[random owl]

Well there isn't really problems in those instructions so hard to say why it isn't working without seeing your attempt. Udon might be better suited for something like this though since you can do much more with detecting objects.

[random owl]

If you really need all of them playing at the same time it would be best to just "atlas" the video and uv your videos onto different screens if you self host the video clip you can even separate the audio tracks for different speakers

[random owl]

Check your console for errors after trying to build

[outer terrace]

@random owl

[outer terrace]

I need to know what to put in the value box.

[random owl]

Well SDK2 isn't really meant for this kind of stuff so if what you are trying is possible it would need some UI event tricks which I'm not really the best at

If it's even possible

[outer terrace]

@random owl I ended up just having the action that assigns the number assign it to everything

but now I get this error:

I feel like I did the RPC wrong? But I have no idea

They're all set up like this

Please, can you help me? I am desperate, I have been at this for days

[steel vector]

Try SDK3?

[outer terrace]

No

I would have to redo every single object

I actually tried it earlier and it did not work

I just need to know how to set up the RPC correctly

[steel vector]

What even is RPC?

[outer terrace]

Remote Procedure Call

[steel vector]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Like 1 said, it's probably not possible in SDK2.

[outer terrace]

it is, I just need to know why I'm getting THIS error

I have set up the RPC call wrong and I don't know why, and the documentation does not help

[steel vector]

What is it you're trying to accomplish? (Note I know literally nothing about Unity scripting so bare with me.)

[outer terrace]

I am trying to assign a value to the textMeshpro text object

[steel vector]

Have you tried asking in the Unity forum/Discord?

[outer terrace]

Why? this is the VRChat discord

the documentation says I shoudl be able to do this

[steel vector]

What're you trying to do though?

To what effect will assigning a value to whatever-the-fuck occur?

[outer terrace]

because I have 20 of these, and they are being randomized. The result acts as a die roller

[steel vector]

So you're... trying to implement a dice roll object?

Sounds a lot easier to do in Udon.

[outer terrace]

I am adding this onto a world that is already built in SDK2 and uses a lot of actions, and apparently, Udon does not work with TextMeshPro, meaning I have to do this in SDK2

@random owl are you still around

Is anyone else around?

[rain shadow]

Is there a reason you are trying to use textmeshpro vs normal unity UI?

[outer terrace]

because it is higher-quality and is more compatible to non-english characters, can change color on the fly, and works better as a child object when attached to pickup items

I just need to know how to do the RPC call, because I am clearly not setting it up right

[rain shadow]

Afaik there is no way to change text mesh pro text once in VRC

The method you are trying should work but it doesn't

[steel vector]

Maybe it's been deprecated?

[rain shadow]

Not sure, I just know that calling the text change function on TMP with UI events doesn't work so I assume theres zero chance an rpc will

[steel vector]

I'm still unsure what they're trying to do in the first place.

Something about dice or something?

Only thing I know so far is they're very... desperate to get it working and no one seems to know how.

[rain shadow]

@outer terrace Only option I can think of that will let you continue to use TMP like that is to have each number already assigned on a TMP gameobject and enable/disable them as needed

[outer terrace]

but what about Set_text

it's there, it's available as an option

[rain shadow]

Yes but I don't think any of the options that you see exposed actually function in game

[outer terrace]

then why are they there

and why are there tutorials on it

[steel vector]

Link the tutorials.

Only thing I found about "TextMeshPro" relates to SDK3.

[outer terrace]

So how do worlds have dynamic text

If it can't be done, how does it happen

[steel vector]

SDK3? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rain shadow]

Normal unity UI text components

[outer terrace]

normal unity text does not show up

it never has

[rain shadow]

Doesn't show up?

[outer terrace]

not at all

[rain shadow]

drop that into your scene

[outer terrace]

the text is a blur of artifacts, even at high sizes

[rain shadow]

Screenshot?

[outer terrace]

OK, I don't care about the blockyness

[desert python]

you have shadows cascades on?

[outer terrace]

but now there is no set_text method

text player is a unity text object

[rain shadow]

You can increase the text resolution on the canvas scaler if its somehow still blocky

[outer terrace]

not worrying about that rn

how do I set the text

[rain shadow]

Triggers have a dedicated set text function

[queen ferry]

I'm not switching the world to Udon, specially since it's already been uploaded for months. I did what the thing said: I made a trigger box x distance away, made a new game object, made the ball (the key) pick up and then added a new sphere with what it said in the topic. Moving the ball into the slot doesn't get detected in VrChat.

[outer terrace]

does the ball and/or trigger box have a rigidbody

I assume the ball does, being a pickup object,r ight?

[queen ferry]

yes

like it said (though 50 instead of 100 as I'm testing)

[outer terrace]

unckeck Is Kinematic

that turns off collisions

[queen ferry]

but in the guide it says otherwise o.o

just tested, still doesn't trigger the thing

[queen ferry]

Ah never mind. Just went with an animator system. Was hoping to just use triggers but eh~

[bold ibex]

Hello i have there a small problem i would like to make the vrc udon video player play automatically when someone joins the world but whenever I add the url in the script and upload the world the video doesnt start does anyone have a solution?

[random owl]

This is sdk2, #udon-general for udon stuff

[bold ibex]

oh sorry

[dusk sapphire]

a bit late to the discussion but if your text ui looks blurry, you'll want to add this component and adjust settings as needed https://nyanpa.su/i/X7LY1Wxv.png

There's a relatively popular video prefab that uses textmesh pro ui for some elements, that looks identical to the stock unity text components. However it uses a custom font file that increases map size by 10mb.

[modern wyvern]

Is there a.a Way to get more tutorials about World making, c.cause i can’t find more

A.and i need some more tutorials , l.like how to make sure a door open when you get a object close to it,

[hybrid wyvern]

Could someone assist me please, I have the NewVirtualKeyboard 2.1 asset in my world and when typing with a desktop keyboard (using the seat), it types double, however, when typing with the buttons in VR, the text is fine.

[red perch]

If you upload a world can you still make changes to it later ?

[desert python]

yes

[random owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A70dtbfZeK0
Could have a look at this tutorial shows you the basic principle which you then can apply to your own systems

[steel canopy]

so i've just uploaded my first world, any time i try to load into a different world after being in mine i get stuck in a loading loop

[steel canopy]

i also can't see any friends, avatars, or worlds in the ui in my world, but i can blindly click on them lol

[brave bone]

Anyone know hoe to fix this. This is the only thing that happens when i press upload world.

[random owl]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger should find the cause for that

[brave bone]

thank you

it worked

[sinful laurel]

How do i fix this?

[random owl]

Did you have sdk3 at some point in the project?

[sinful laurel]

Um yes

[random owl]

You need to also remove the scripting define in project settings to clear it out

Project Settings > Player > Other Settings > Scripting Define Symbols and remove Udon and or SDK3 mentions

[sinful laurel]

Ok

Oh it worked thanks

[steel canopy]

anyone available to help me troubleshoot why anyone who leaves my worlds gets stuck in a loading screen loop?

i have no idea what could cause that

[random owl]

!outputlog

[tawny lily]

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt

[random owl]

Check your output log for further clues

[steel canopy]

[Always] Error Downloading or Instantiating Custom Scene - api link to world download - BlueprintIDMismatch

upon trying to load into a new world after leaving mine

[random owl]

That should only happen if the world they are joining is broken

[steel canopy]

it happens when i try to return to my home world, treehouse in the shade

and any world

[random owl]

Can you give me the world id of the world that causes this?

[steel canopy]

wrld_f389378c-8fae-44cf-a7e9-b7fdce7aaeb8

[random owl]

Well that's a pretty cursed world

[steel canopy]

thanks

[random owl]

As in just what it causes

[steel canopy]

oh lol

[random owl]

Are you able to zip this project and send it to me so I can check what's happening properly?

[steel canopy]

it would probably be easier for me to screen share, but i can try to zip it if you'd like

[random owl]

It's faster to check it myself

You can duplicate the project folder and delete the library folder inside to make the zip smaller

[steel canopy]

alright 1 sec

[dusk sapphire]

that.. was very interesting

seems like visiting your world makes the client think any other world after has your world id, hence the blueprint id mismatch

i think it also broke any network updates for menus?

[random owl]

I found the issue but I'm not gonna mention it publicly in case someone is gonna abuse it

[steel canopy]

yeah i have no idea

still mega broken

only some people are getting the issue though

[bold ibex]

anyone knows how to do occlusion but for players? Like in the zombiedoll lounge, people appear only when you are in that room

[random owl]

There's only one kind of occlusion you can use it to occlude players as well

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/class-OcclusionPortal.html

For example this would work for stuff

[remote summit]

Anybody that can point me towards a tutorial on how to set up a video player that aren't setup whit udon?

[void bison]

Good evening, is it possible to ban an object for everyone except for one person?

[reef yacht]

@remote summit VRC StarterKit has a video player. I've never used it, but it's deffo in there

[remote summit]

Okay. I will try and look at it

[reef yacht]

how are you folks planting trees using this? are you selecting each one and rotating them yourself?

[golden storm]

I'm having trouble finding a tutorial or instructions on how to place the video player from the SDK2, but with a URL search bar. I found one tut video that was very easy to follow, but I think it was for Udon only. I also tried using the video player prefabs from JetDogs, but I couldn't get it to work. Can someone point me in the right direction?

@remote summit Did you figure it out?

[remote summit]

I haven't tried it jet. Want to try and work on it tomorrow

[golden storm]

Okay let us know how it goes! I am so frustrated

[remote summit]

What is the clock for you?

[golden storm]

Wym clock

[remote summit]

The time

[golden storm]

oh lol 4PM

EST

[remote summit]

Was thinking we could talk while trying some stuff out but its late for me

[golden storm]

ok tomorrow is good too

[remote summit]

I will dm u when i am going to work. Then we can see

[steel badger]

Upon trying to upload, I'm given a list of errors (seen in picture), how can I resolve these without just deleting the objects?

[random owl]

You don't need to resolve those errors they are normal

[obsidian star]

im guess this is a common question but i cant figure out why when i go into to the world on vrchat my vision is doubled can anyone help

[random owl]

On quest?

[obsidian star]

yes

[random owl]

Did you use the button inside the vrcsdk to switch to android building?

[obsidian star]

no

[random owl]

So you switched using the built in unity dialog?

[obsidian star]

wait i switch it to android in the vrcsdk

[random owl]

So you did use this button?

[obsidian star]

yes

[random owl]

There's a bug where that button can cause rendering problems sometimes

You should use File > Build Settings instead to switch between

[obsidian star]

oh ok

thank you

[random owl]

If that doesn't fix it you might have some not mobile gpu friendly shaders

[obsidian star]

ohh ok

[wise cobalt]

Trying to upload this world, won't even let me hit the Button and then Unity lags... any advice?

[random owl]

What's in your console after hitting the button

[wise cobalt]

nothing, it's clean

[random owl]

Even though I see in your picture that there would be something in your console? 🤔

[wise cobalt]

like I have other worlds in the unity file, so it's not an issue with the SDK, but it's just being odd with this one

[random owl]

Well doesn't really change that something should appear in your console most cases after pressing the button

[wise cobalt]

oh wait now it's showing a thing wth?

"Cannot add menu item 'VRChat SDK/Utilities/Clear Cache and PlayerPrefs' for method 'VRC_SdkBuilder.ClearPlayerPrefs' because a menu item with the same name already exists."

[random owl]

Just that and nothing else? Do you have all messages enabled in the top right of the console?

[wise cobalt]

that's what pops up

[random owl]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
Import this and check what VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger shows

[wise cobalt]

nothing really shows

[random owl]

🤔

[wise cobalt]

Yeah, it's confusing as hell

[random owl]

Clear the console once then right after click build and show me a new picture

[wise cobalt]

there is NOTHING

it just won't let me hit the button

[random owl]

As in the button itself doesn't push down?

[wise cobalt]

yeah

it stays white, doesn't switch to the grey showing it was pushed

but when I press it, unity lags, and does nothing

but no error scripts pop up

[random owl]

Problems with no visible feedback or errors are a bit annoying to solve

[wise cobalt]

mmmhm

[random owl]

If I was you I would just run trough the full reimport steps
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/updating-the-sdk#sdk2

[wise cobalt]

alright

[dusk sapphire]

do you have a lot of objects parented to one of the objects in your scene?

the sdk will lag a lot when you have that

a lot being more than 100-200 objects

though from those screenshots i doubt thats the case

[random owl]

Yeah

[rain shadow]

If his parent object named trees has a couple hundred trees that may also be comprised of multiple parts that could be the case of whats causing it

[spark inlet]

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction in where I can either get, or how I can make christmas string lights for my world?

The worlds made in Unity rather than Blender, so I'm not sure how I'd go about getting lengths and distances right if I were to make them in blender.

[rain shadow]

@spark inlet These ones are pretty nice and you have likely seen them in worlds before https://www.patreon.com/posts/xmas-lights-32030551

Does have a free option at the bottom of the page which might be all you are looking for

[spark inlet]

Thank you so much!

[peak shell]

anyone else having issues uploading worlds with SDK2? using latest sdk and it just fails to create asset bundle

like just trying to run build and test here and thats not eve nworking

[random owl]

You have multiple scenes in your project with leftover asset bundle name set most likely from a crash or similar during a build

[peak shell]

its a new project

just created

only thing in here is the main scene copy of poiyomi shaders and the latest vrcsdk2

[random owl]

Do you have multiple scenes in it?

[peak shell]

a few demo scenes from imported stuff yes

only one scene is loaded into hierarchy

[random owl]

It doesn't matter for this problem whether the scene is loaded or not

[peak shell]

then what do i do

[random owl]

And if you have demo scenes they can incorrectly have the asset bundle name setup

[peak shell]

so what do i do?

delete the scenes?

[random owl]

Well that should fix it as well but you can also manually edit the meta files for the scenes

[peak shell]

the names on theme are blank

for the one im trying to build

[random owl]

The problem wouldn't be the scene you are trying to build

Since if that was the only problem there wouldn't be a problem

[peak shell]

same issue

[random owl]

Did you check every scene you have in the project for that?

[peak shell]

i deleted all scenes that were not being used

and edited the meta for the one that was unused but wanted to keep to reflect what you wrote

[random owl]

Oh that was just me indicating that there should be nothing there

It should look like this

[peak shell]

for the one im uploading its blank

[random owl]

And there's no other scenes in the project anymore?

[peak shell]

theres one other

i change the meta on that to say "nowritinghere"

[random owl]

Well that would replicate the issue 😅

Sorry for being unclear

Remove the nowritinghere

You might need to restart unity

[peak shell]

will do

alright trying build and test

stil lfailed

but now i got an extra error

[random owl]

Oh?

[peak shell]

thats the new one

and this one still persists

[random owl]

Hmm I'm gonna have a look

[peak shell]

alright

im not sure why its failing to build asset bundle

avatars build fine for both sdk2 and 3

[random owl]

Well this is just that project with worlds so it wouldn't cause problems with avatars

[peak shell]

yeah but is a problem building asset bundle

Cannot mark assets and scenes in one AssetBundle. AssetBundle name is "customscene.vrcw".

avatar assett bundles build and upload fine

im just trying to do local testing

[random owl]

Yes but the way avatars are handled is completely different from uploading a scene

[peak shell]

im aware but its still using the same bundler

[random owl]

Not really

[peak shell]

same format

[random owl]

The format doesn't really change much from what I said 😅

[peak shell]

well any ideas why its not working?

when trying to upload i get this instead

[random owl]

I'm still checking that error

[peak shell]

alright

ill keep trying myself

[random owl]

@peak shell reading trough the sdk code related to that other error you had didn't prove useful much, but if you can send me your project over I can more easily debug it locally.

[peak shell]

its litterally just a scene with the vrcworld prefab and the vrc chair prefab added with a cube as the floor

theres no reason it shouldnt upload
