#

hmm, send link

#

I know 🤥 sdk2 video players are wonky, but not this wonky

dusk sapphire
#

do you have any direct mp4 links you could test?

desert python
#

i mean, couldve used like a cached videoplayer instead of a sync, but try on board videos if possible

#

yea mp4

#

you could try this

dusk sapphire
#

thats... not going to help

desert python
#

this video works on every videoplayer

#

ignore that, ytdl lowers the res anyway

#

(sad)

dusk sapphire
#

the point of playing a direct mp4 file is to see if its a more fundamental issue that they have

#

sending them another youtube link when they cannot play any right now is not helping

desert python
#

well i dont seem to have any mp4 or .mov that fact on me

dusk sapphire
#

i have this playing on one of my quest maps so it should really work on everything

#

yeah this seems like a more fundamental issue

#

any video files you play are cached locally

desert python
#

(quest?)

dusk sapphire
#

livestreams handled by avpro are likely not cached, at least not in the same manner

#

i would suggest clearing your cache file, but i'm not entirely sure where the video cache files are

#

I think the video cache files last i checked were in some temporary internet files folder

#

something is really wrong though if you cant play a direct mp4 file

#

most web services use h264 mp4 or vp8 webm of the sorts

#

but anyway its like past 1am for me, and i gotta head off, good luck solving your issue.

random owl
#

I would most likely make sure nothing happened to your installed codecs or reinstall them depending on your os version and such but you seem to be pretty reluctant on going trough my troubleshooting steps

grim mortar
#

could someone help me set up a screen in my world for playing videos?

desert python
#

@grim mortar that video player i sent you should work

brisk gazelle
desert python
#

@brisk gazelle console errors?

grim mortar
#

?

#

ah

#

i see

desert python
#

@grim mortar you able to import it fine?

grim mortar
#

yeah

brisk gazelle
#

How do I see consol errors.

#

@desert python

desert python
#

@brisk gazelle in console

grim mortar
#

I imported it

brisk gazelle
#

I don't know of any console for vrc. So please elaborate alittle more than in console. @desert python

desert python
#

@brisk gazelle i mean, if you can use the vrc console when joining, thats cool, im talking about unity tho

brisk gazelle
#

oh

#

no errors

desert python
#

try reuploading it and see what appears

grim mortar
#

can i scale up the screen to size if needed?

desert python
#

@grim mortar yea, just dont delete anything. you can move anything and change the size to whatever you want

grim mortar
#

okay, what should i scale?

#

the screen or HangoutPlayer

desert python
#

whatever you want, most likely the screen part but you can do the whole thing

grim mortar
#

alrihgt

random owl
grim mortar
#

also, how could i add all wall to the room, since the original model lacked all wall since you could never see the wall at the angle in the game

📎 unknown.png
#

you could i add a wall?

desert python
#

@grim mortar define “all wall”

grim mortar
#

a wall

desert python
#

where?

grim mortar
#

you see where there is a lack of the walll

desert python
#

hmm, copy and paste the main room, abd turn it some

#

just the wall

#

if possible

grim mortar
#

i'll see

desert python
#

hmm, well that doesnt look too good, is the whole room one big object?

grim mortar
#

no, it is seperated into multiple polygons, i just took the one which is the main room part

#

the table and some other stuff are separate parts

#

I wonder what i should do about it

desert python
#

what you could do, is spawn a few quads, and try to cover up that wall

grim mortar
#

what is a quad

desert python
#

under 3d objects

#

its like a plane

grim mortar
#

ah

#

so what would i do with them

brisk gazelle
desert python
#

@grim mortar put them around where the wall is missing

grim mortar
#

alright

desert python
#

try and angle them so it seems like its rounded

random owl
#

If you aren't sure show a picture of it

brisk gazelle
#

New errors

#

Your sdk is really old

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/updating-the-sdk

VRChat
Updating the SDK

If you need to update your SDK, it is important that you follow these steps to ensure the update proceeds properly and you don't have any old/conflicting files. Version Control If you know how to use it, you may find it beneficial to use version control software like Git to manage your project. You ...

#

Update to the latest sdk2 first

brisk gazelle
#

How do I see what version I am using within the sdk? @random owl

random owl
#

Don't really need to see it in this situation those errors tell me the version is over 7 months old

grim mortar
#

i might make the back of the room square

desert python
#

make the quads go into each other/ make them bigger

grim mortar
#

just to make it easier

desert python
#

sure

grim mortar
#

i also want to have a space for a portal to connect to the room i made yesterday

desert python
#

i mean, if you make those quads into a hallway into a portal. that might look better

grim mortar
#

meh

#

it looks good now

@wheat kindle

wheat kindle
#

oh sorry i just need help with unity i uploaded a world and when i try to join it i get put back to vr chat home world

desert python
#

what are errors for the world?

wheat kindle
#

none

desert python
#

are you sure?

wheat kindle
#

yes

desert python
#

not even: warnings?

wheat kindle
#

nope

desert python
#

is “clear on play” turned on?

wheat kindle
#

whats that

desert python
#

console my boy

wheat kindle
#

i dont know if it

#

is*

desert python
#

plz check for errors in the console

#

you may find it, in unity

#

it is a tab that should never be closed

wheat kindle
#

um would you be able to help in a dm call

desert python
#

sir, im sorry

dusk sapphire
#

and in the mean time check your output log for errors with https://nyanpa.su/vrchatlog/

VRChat Output Log Parser

A simple VRChat output log parser that shows you user activity in maps you have visited, as well as basic trigger, warning, error and exception summaries

wheat kindle
#

ok

#

how do i add the tool kit to unity

dusk sapphire
#

you just install it like any other unitypackage

wheat kindle
#

im new to unity

dusk sapphire
#

double click the downloaded file

#

or drag it into unity

wheat kindle
#

so do i download it as a zip

dusk sapphire
#

download it as a unitypackage

wheat kindle
#

k got the the package in

#

now what

dusk sapphire
#

go to vrworld toolkit in your menu bar and select world debugger

wheat kindle
desert python
#

no spawn point

#

need one

wheat kindle
#

no i set a sawn point

desert python
#

proof

dusk sapphire
#

i'd just hit the auto fix buttons

wheat kindle
#

ok

#

i hit auto fix on them now what do i reupload the world

dusk sapphire
#

if there are no more errors then yeah

wheat kindle
#

welp

#

it worked thx

Hey so everytime I try to build and test my world that’s in progress it just puts me into my home world and not bringing me to the world im building in unity. Is something wrong? I put everything I’m supposed to put like the scene descriptor and everything

thorny storm
#

I’m having this problem where when I try to update my world it won’t let me it just gets stuck on this one part it won’t let me upload it unless I removed the world ID and publish it as a different world

#

Same scene

void bison
#

Hello, I have a problem with my interactions, anyone can interact from a great distance, it is fine to lower the proximity but nothing changes, I can do how to fix this?

bold ibex
#

I really need help i made a trigger that turns of and on music but my problem is the button only works if i have the sound set to play on awake which i dont want to do. Is there a way to make it so i can have a button that plays music but it downt have to be set to play on awaek?

bold ibex
#

anyone???

desert python
#

why?

bold ibex
#

So now i have made it so i can turn on the music but when i click the button again to turn it of it just restarts the msuic

#

@desert python could u help me with this

desert python
#

im not good with sdk2, but it seems like its doing what its supposed to do, how would you go about making it play on awake if it does automatically even tho its unticked?

bold ibex
#

so my problem is that when the audio is not on play on awakew i cant turn it of then back on again but when it is i can turn the audio of and on fine

desert python
#

try it with loop turned on instead

#

unless you mean, something is inhibiting it

bold ibex
#

That doesn’t work :((

#

Idk

#

i mean the audio should auto be ticked to play on awake, but to keep it playing you should tick loop play

desert python
#

otherwise, i see nothing wrong

bold ibex
#

I dunno

#

Like the button only works when it’s on play on awake

desert python
#

you usually shouldnt need to have it play on awake (for udon) but for sdk2, you might

#

@bold ibex try telling it to loop and see if it works

#

also, what exactly is the trigger doing

bold ibex
#

Literally do u use sdk 3?

desert python
#

yes maam

#

but this seems like an audio issue

bold ibex
#

I can switch to that could u tell me how to make it so I can toggle music on that?

#

change the rolloff to custom

#

Roll off?

#

go to the audio source

#

Yep

#

below all of it there is a rolloff selection tab as well as a graph

#

Ahh yep I’m on that

#

change volume rolloff to custom

#

I have done that now

#

then rightclick somewhere on the line to add key and drag that key to the 1.0

#

also the option above called spatial blend

#

is that set to 2d or 3d?

#

hold up

#

does thw whole line have to be on 1.0

#

I have a question

#

I am using cyan emu to test my world before importing

#

and when hoping into a car prefab and using the wasd keys to move around, I move the car like it should

#

but then when I go into the worl in pc or quest and mash buttons on my controllers to see what works, the car doesn't move

#

so if any of you know this, in cyanemu what are the keys wasd mapped to on a vr controller such as the quest?

smoky ferry
#

Has anyone made an Ames room world?

glacial pond
#

Is there any way to get "Test Non-VR" checkbox to work? it's always launching VR

random owl
#

Otherwise though setting the client path manually in the vrcsdk settings will fix it

tropic slate
#

Noob question: will all libraries from the unity asset store work in a vrchat world? (except scripts) I'm looking to buy some things during the sale but don't wanna waste money if they won't work.

desert python
#

all object and skyboxes should work, just depends how optimized I guess 🤔, some might crash, some might not

tropic slate
#

Thanks for the response literally!

glass river
#

So im making a item that teleports a player 20 m forward, currently im using a Prefab from ToyBox 2.1V called Player Tracking which basically gives me the position of a player to which i just add 20 m and it teports me just fine ,but there is a small thing that doesn't work. The Player tracker doesn't rotate so that means i cannot teleport nowhere but along the x axis. I have been looking all over the internet , but nowhere is there anything mentioned about the rotation of the prefab or how to add it. Does anybody know how to fix this issue and if so please tell me how to fix it myself?

gray turret
#

whenever I try to build & test a world I'm making I just get loaded into the VRchat home instead of my world

desert python
#

@gray turret is a spawn point set?

gray turret
#

yes

desert python
gray turret
#

ok, will do

#

I don't know if it just supposed to tell me errors or fix the problem, but its fixed the problem

#

thanks mate

desert python
#

good job 👌🏻, sometimes it does

#

its also supposed to tell you tips and extra errors that might need fixing

gray turret
#

ah I see

bold ibex
#

Am I able to update a world after its been uploaded?

desert python
#

yes\

south zodiac
#

I'm trying to add multiple songs to my world, and was told by the VRChat documentation to use an Audio Bank. When I follow the guide it says for setting up an audio bank, and then going into the world, I do not hear any audio playing. None of the songs are triggered by a button as well when attached to a trigger.

#

Yes, I do have an audio source set up and attached to the bank as well.

bold ibex
#

How do I have floating visible text in my world?

hard crane
#

UI Elements, possibly using Text.

bold ibex
#

I tried that but when I build and test the text completely disappears

dusk sapphire
#

did you put the text on a canvas?

bold ibex
#

Yeah, I decided to go with another option though

#

Second thing though, how do I update a world that’s already uploaded and published?

desert python
#

@bold ibex reupload it

bold ibex
#

Okay thank you

median egret
#

has anyone created a userlist prefab of some sorts yet? not exactly sure how to accomplish this.

mild hamlet
#

hey any1 know whay some materials get confused when making a test build?

#

materials just swap material slots out of nowhere

void bison
#

Hello, for optimization, is it better to light the players with ProbLight or with a Directionnal Light?

desert python
#

@void bison explain?

void bison
#

If I replace the ProbLight with a directional light, will the players gain in performance?

desert python
#

light probes baked would be better, and more better looking, whereas a directional light (assuming realtime) woud most likely increase realtime draw calls

void bison
#

But if I put directional light only for players, with no shadow, will that have a negative or positive impact on performance?

desert python
#

negative

void bison
#

Okay thx

#

@desert python
And the best it would be to put more ProbLight or as little as possible for optimization?

desert python
#

@void bison well theoretically you could do with no light probes, as the bake lights will react already as if mixed in game unless deactivated

#

however, light probes never hurt

random owl
#

Unless you get to hundreds of thousands light probes they won't affect performance much

#

For proper baked lighting always do light probes and reflection probes

void bison
#

So that's what I did, but in VR in some places there are heavy drops in FPS and we don't know where it came from

desert python
#

possibly have a realtime light active

bold ibex

I love ant to make a world and need help can anyone help me?

if you don't mind you can just upload to a new world id, otherwise you'll have to contact support as its a server side issue

jolly mango
#

my world is failing to upload.
It always hangs on a part and ive already waited 10 hours since it should be a pretty big world.
Currently it's stuck on Creating File version record
There's no errors in the log or console

jolly mango
#

upon removing blueprint id and trying reupload now i get an error

📎 unknown.png
jolly mango
#

Edit: Found the issue
Error: Failed to create file version record.
That file is much too big

dusk sapphire
#

how big was your world lol

jolly mango
#

don't know, it just failed to upload

dusk sapphire
#

it also shows the size of your last successful build

jolly mango
#

I'll do it after this build attempt.
I removed some stuff and compressed textures

#

Got it to upload after that step, mostly downscaling textures

jolly mango
#

So I'm having another issue that im currently troubleshooting.
When I reach a part of the map it simply respawns me.
I've attempted bypassing that point using a teleport but to no avail.

random owl
#

Is the part below the respawn y height set in your scene descriptor?

jolly mango
#

Ah!
That could be the issue!
I'll test it

#

Upon height testing. Yes that would be the issue
My new map part is lower than the rest
Thanks!

Hello, I wanted to inquire about something, so here we are, I created a UI where the player must enter his password to enter his private room, basically he enters his password, and he will then be teleported to his private room, but I would like to know if it was possible that when he enters a password that his teleports all players around him within a certain radius. is it feasible in your opinion?

#

@median egret
You have to put your lighting in an important mod

Oh SDK 2, nevermind - not sure

Gonna be more work with sdk2 but not impossible

does sabrecsg work with vrchat worlds

im trying to import some half life maps

upper orchid
#

What would you guys consider to be good "user performance" as far as visits and favorites for a brand new world?

near escarp
#

Getting out of community labs is already a good indicator

hot pilot
#

im able to build and test my world perfectly fine, but i just uploaded it to labs and now every time i join the world in-game and click "go" it just sends me back to the default home world

near escarp
#

Make sure you have no duplicate spawns in the world descriptor

hot pilot
upper orchid
near escarp
#

correct

upper orchid
#

Wait, so my world is already public?

near escarp
#

@hot pilot Is your world above -100 ?

near escarp
upper orchid
#

WELL, that's uh... Rad haha

hot pilot
#

yeah, its all around the 0,0,0 coordinates

near escarp
#

What else is in your world ?

hot pilot
#

it defaulted to -100, should i put it closer to 0?

near escarp
#

No, check your console in unity for any potential issue

hot pilot
#

is there a way to check that in-game? because it runs perfectly fine in unity and when i build & test

near escarp
#

You can through your outputlog

#

!outputlog

tawny lilyBOT
#

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

hot pilot
random owl
near escarp
#

Yeah so 1's tool will most likely tell you why your upload failed

dusk sapphire
#

blueprint id mismatch is usually because you have an error/exception in your project preventing your world to build, and by default it will upload the last successful thing you've built, and if this was a different scene or had a different world id, you get this

random owl
#

Well not usually but also that

hot pilot
#

how do i run the debugger?

random owl
#

After you import it from the top menu VRWorld Toolkit and then World Debugger

hot pilot
#

ohhh i didnt even see that, my bad

#

alright, it seems to be fixed, is there an easy way for me to reupload this fixed version of the world, or do i have to wait the 1 week before being able to put it in labs again

random owl
#

Just upload again

#

If it goes into the same world id it updates the world

hot pilot
#

oh sick

#

that fixed it, thanks for the help!

bold ibex
#

Is it possible to use video textures in VRChat?
(And would a world using video textures be quest-compatible?)

bold ibex
dusk sapphire
#

by video textures do you mean an embedded video or like an animated image/spritesheet? both are possible on quest as well, but on sdk2 you won't be able to sync the videos on quest.

bold ibex
#

Either make sure that Unity is set to generate a UV set for the lighting, or that you add a second set of UVs for the lightmap if you're importing from a modelling package.

dusk sapphire
#

also for quest you're probably better off hosting the video somewhere rather than embedding it as part of the map

bold ibex
#

doesn't matter if it syncs across different users

dusk sapphire
#

how big of a video are we talking here?

bold ibex
#

but using a low-res video is quite an easy way of faking lights synced with audio

#

Hmm, nothing particularly high-res

#

low resolution with audio playing over the top

#

used as an emissive to throw light about in time to music

dusk sapphire
#

uh

#

video emissions complicate things a bit

#

especially on quest

bold ibex
#

Ahh, that's what I wasn't sure about

#

I know it can be done in unity, cause I've done it before

#

just wasn't sure how VRChat—and the quest in particular—would handle it

dusk sapphire
#

yeah its doable, but i don't think the quest would be able to handle it

bold ibex
#

I mean even then, a lot can be faked in, just with some clever UV mapping I guess

dusk sapphire
#

playing the video is fine and all, its not a matter of uv mapping or anything thats the trivial part

bold ibex
#

I'm assuming the quest doesn't handle dynamic lighting particularly well?

dusk sapphire
#

for context, when I talk about video emissions, i mean the video affecting the lighting in the map through the use of precomputed real time global illumination that updates map lighting + light probes

#

I haven't tried it on quest, but it is taxing, even on PC

#

because with video emissions, you're not just adjusting the intensity of the light, it has to update the gi materials constantly to update the lighting based on whats the texture

#

you do that with https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_realtimegiupdate

VRChat
VRC_CustomRendererBehaviour

This script is used to apply custom renderer behaviours to an object. Currently, the only supported custom renderer behaviour is "Update GI Materials". This enables the object's GI attribution to be updated in real time. This is useful if you have objects that change their emission attribution and y...

bold ibex
#

God I can't wait for raytracing to be standard on all platforms 😅

dusk sapphire
#

if this was udon you could use RendererExtensions.UpdateGIMaterials and set your own custom update frequency so its less intensive

#

but real time lighting is expensive on quest regardless

#

so its probably best if you just keep that for the PC versions

bold ibex
#

Ahh that's fair enough

dusk sapphire
#

you can still have the video textures on the quest of course

bold ibex
#

Yeah, I mean I can probably fake most of it with some video textures and bloom

dusk sapphire
#

haha sorry, no post processing on quest

bold ibex
#

T_T

#

okay, I can probably fake most of it with some clever video textures 😂

#

Don't suppose there's any comprehensive documentation of what you can/can't do on either platform?

#

I'm a bit out of the loop

#

last time I looked into making anything for VRChat was well over a year ago

dusk sapphire
#

you'll want to pay particular attention to the documents on optimization and limitations

bold ibex
#

Ah awesome, thanks

#

oh god, I'm gonna have to work to a polycount, aren't I?

#

that's something I'm not used to... 😅

#

Also, feel like I know the answer here, but

#

I'm assuming that if I try to upload anything using copyright music, it's gonna get rejected, right?

dusk sapphire
bold ibex
#

Ah awesome, thanks

#

Will probably encode to h.264 anyway, just purely cause of how ridiculously small I can make things without ruining the quality

#

usually a pretty safe bet

dusk sapphire
#

i'd argue hevc/h265 has better quality/compression ratios but a lot of pc users don't have hevc extensions installed so unity cant play them lol

bold ibex
#

Haha yeah, in terms of compatibility it's not often I have any issues with H.264

#

Finally got a few ideas for stuff to make, so... might as well while I'm off work, right?

bold ibex
#

trying to test it just sends me to my home

Anyone knows how to make it so if I click a button, an object will be teleported there?

@bold ibex You can usually get away with copyrighted music. According to the ToC, VRChat could take down your world; but they’ll only do so if the copyright holder flags it. In practice, this has almost never happened. The likelihood that a record label would know, care about, or even be able to find your world is next to none.

#

Hell, a good portion of the avatars & worlds are based on copy-written content (games, shows, OC’s used without permission).

#

You’re hardly the first person that they’d come after.

#

Im startin up a project rn, but can anyone help me with somethings? I dont know how to make things pick up-able, i dont know how to use colliders, and there might be other things in the near future. but can anyone help me out?

#

Also how do i start the project?

desert python
#

@chilly trellis to add mesh colliders, click on the mesh and go to add component and type in “mesh collider”

#

to make things pickupable in sdk2, i believ you do the same but this time type “vrc pickup”

dusk sapphire
#

pick ups require the vrc pick up script, as well as a rigid body and collider
ideally you want to use simple colliders for your pick ups like box colliders, but if your mesh is complex, you can use the mesh collider but do check the Convex checkbox to simplify the mesh, as complicated meshes can be expensive and cause issues on pick ups especially.
if you want pick ups to be sync'd with other players, you need vrc object sync script as well.

Hello, I would like to put a sound that triggers in the world for everyone when a player connects to this one, it works, but the sound in question is repeating in a loop, however I put on OnPlayerJoined, I would like the sound to run only once, can someone help me please?

dusk sapphire
#

set the trigger to local only

#

onplayerjoined fires locally for each person

void bison
#

So even if I put it locally, will all players still hear the sound?

#

In fact it's good I found, it was not the local that was the problem, it is the fact that it is with a Youtube link, when it is a direct source no problem, but with the Youtube link its repeats itself over and over again, it looks like the trigger does not support youtube urls, weird

#

@dusk sapphire but thanks anyway !

That usually happens when a file in the sdk "corrupts" you can try re importing the sdk but I can't guarantee it will fix the issue, I can also send you a dev version of my world tools which includes a one click fix for that without reimporting.

Just ping me if you want the latter option and I'll package it and dm it to you

wont allow me to publish... it keeps me frozen at the screen where you name the world and such

I'm trying to upload my first world but when I click "Build & Publish for Windows", it future-proofs my content for a bit, but when the screen for entering the world name and stuff should come up, it doesn't, instead I get an awkward camera view of part of my world, both of the musics play at once (they are in separate regions I've extensively playtested the world and got it how I wanted it) and I can only zoom in and out of that view as if it were an image. Like so:

📎 unknown.png
#

That's what I see instead of the world naming screen

rain shadow
#

Find any cameras in your scene and make sure the depth is 0

#

Also you should just disable future proof publish in the sdk settings

hallow yacht
#

why are there

#

99999 lights!!!

errant beacon
#

Lights in Source are automatically free to render (baked, as long as they aren't named/spawnflags aren't set), wheras in Unity you'll have to set all of those to Bake manually

hallow yacht
#

bro idk what that meansd

#

i don't own the source engine, it's like $25 to use

errant beacon
#

If you have any Source game, you already have the Hammer editor lol

#

You only have to buy the Havok license if you want to sell a Source game, and even then the Havok money isn't going to Valve

hallow yacht
#

i really dont know how to use the hammer editor

near escarp
#

there's plenty documentation and tutorials

errant beacon
#

^
that said, you could also try porting over a much more simple map to try and figure out the process first, if you don't want to start using Hammer

in TF2's case, something like Itemtest

Does the 'OnParticleHit' Trigger not trigger if it is hit by a subemitted particle?

tender crow
#

out of curiosity is it a bad idea to use higher quality images for textures(Floors, counters, paintings etc.) for a vrchat world? I'm not sure if all the worlds I go to use low quality textures as a performance necessity or by choice, and wanna know if I should be looking for lower quality texture images

errant beacon
#

You can use higher quaility textures but it's definitely a performance and filesize thing lol

#

also note, crunch compression is great for filesizes but it'll still load the full-size texture in memory

#

for PBR (in my experience anyway) would probably recommend lower image resolutions (at or lower than 256) for color/albedo maps, and higher (512ish) for normal maps, in my opinion

random owl
#

256 is a bit overkill for anything non repeating

#

Or I guess I should say underkill?

dusk sapphire
#

it really depends after all
if your texture's are highly stylized resolution might not have as much of an impact vs something pbr

random owl
#

Yeah

#

Go as low as your wanted fidelity and performance allows

errant beacon
#

good point, haven't really worked with anything besides PBR stuff lmao

I got my first world uploaded yesterday but I'm confused as to if it is actually gonna show up in searches. It says I don't have enough trust for labs, but I thought that if that was so I wouldn't be able to upload at all?

#

You can upload private worlds even though you don't have enough trust to use labs yet

You are uploading to the same world id but can't change the name/description?

anyone know how to make animations that play on a chair effect an sdk3 avatar?

opaque chasm
#

hmm one of the vrchat patches made it so my audio doesn't sound global anymore, instead it's coming from a specific direction (where the audio source is

#

and i want it to just be global again

desert python
#

sounds like you need to set it to 2d miss

opaque chasm
#

spatial blend down to 2d instead of 3d?

desert python
#

correct maam, and make sure the bubble is set to custom and the min and max are the same, covering the whole map miss

#

remember: the definition of spatial blend is super botched in unity, and will work differently thn expected

opaque chasm
#

okay so i put down the spatial blend down to 2D and min max both to 60 at the bottom

#

hmm it was working fine before as 3D all the way up tho, i never touched that

desert python
#

it probably defaulted to 2d, and all the sudden it mustve changed nd realized it was 3d

tardy wadi
#

So I have a question.... is there a prefab or starting point that anyone has that allows you to display a twitch chat in world? Just to display the IRC text stream?

opaque chasm
#

so what i did was enough yah?

tardy wadi
#

Read only is fine... I just want everyone to see the chat inworld

desert python
#

@opaque chasm should be, if it still acts stupid, make sure spread is at 360, and make the bubble very big

#

@tardy wadi iicr, thats technically an illegal concept

tardy wadi
#

kk Just wanted to know if that was something doable. Thanks @desert python .

desert python
#

the best you can do is stream on one video player a stream overlay using a faster stream service (may no work in sdk2) or just stream the whole stream like most people do

tardy wadi
#

Well I'm working on my TV set and i'm looking for an easy way to have show guests see the chat.

#

I can throw up a VR overlay but i was just looking for a mutual display

desert python
#

could also make a quad with the uvs cropped on the chat right. and put that in tyhe world so when you stream, itll so the chat. but ofc, the latency for twitch is swollen, so id use a faster stream servic (may not work in sdk2)

tardy wadi
#

right

#

the problem is i'm trying to keep complexity down, so I wont bother for now. That would mean that as I stream I would be running one stream to capture chat and deliver that in world and then an actual stream for my talkshow and that's to many points of failure. Thank you for the advice though @desert python

desert python
#

very fair, but would be epic tho

tardy wadi
#

IKR?

uneven crescent
#

how do i update an existing world im so confused

tardy wadi
#

Have you updated your project already?

tardy wadi
#

@uneven crescent So If you are using the same project that you used to upload the world originally you should be able to go through the same steps and it will upload in place. If you are using a totally new project folder you would need to log into your account to get the world ID to manually set that so it replaces the original world.

uneven crescent
#

when i go to build and publish and press upload nothing seems to happen

I played this game with my friends a lot, and we were working on a world project, like a home for us, yes that sounded sweet but my pc got viruses a few days after that, because it's a ransomware so i cannot do anything except reinstalling my Os, twice.

After i reinstalled my Os (windows 10 x64), all the files stored in documents included the unity files are gone. I tried to use 3rd party data recovering software like EaseUS, Crashplan, Polygon, etc. but it seems all the old data were gone.

Can anyone know how can i get this back? even it just the file models, textures, anything so that me and my friends can start the project all over again with the old assets, because we put most of our time on the assets.

I hate to say it but you can't really get your stuff back from the vrc devs unfortunately 😕

Hello, I'm making a world that I was able to get a rotating skybox working in Unity, but during testing the skybox isn't rotating. I made a C# Script to make it rotate, seems to work fine, but, yeah. Test is a no-go. Any possible world makers who have a rotating skybox have any pointers? Been trying to get this to work for the last week and this is the farthest I've gotten lol (So close)

errant beacon
#

You could try making it rotate using Udon/UdonSharp instead of a direct C# script, maybe? o:

dusk sapphire
#

yeah you cannot use c# scripts directly in vrchat, but for sdk3 worlds, there is udonsharp which transpiles from c# with some caveats

#

if you need it to be in sdk2.. you could probably just modify the skybox shader itself for the rotation if its just constant

Ok so that's what I thought ... and another question, would it be possible one day to put more than 2 active objects in toggle?

dusk sapphire
#

what do you mean? you can put as many objects as you'd like

void bison
#

Not in toggle, on toggle it's only 2

dusk sapphire
#

are you refering to the toggle operation in SetGameObjectActive or SetComponentActive?

void bison
#

GameObjectActive

dusk sapphire
void bison
#

Yes, but only 2 will be taken into account, trial in game you will see

dusk sapphire
#

I am pretty certain they work, otherwise I would have broken worlds

void bison
#

I guarantee you its not working, I tried 1000x

dusk sapphire
#

I don't know what to tell you. I have worlds where I use toggles on more than 2 items at once and they have always been working perfectly fine

So I don't know what I'm doing wrong... For some reason a volume control just breaks on me and follows my control stick

is there something I'm missing?

frail heron

#

Does that happen if you make a new completely empty project where you just import one texture in?

frail heron
#

@random owl no it works in a new project for some reason

random owl
#

Does it work in the original project if you restart unity and go check the settings without touching other things?

frail heron
#

it doesn't i tried that

#

not sure if it's a script error or not cause i'm not seeing any prompts

random owl
#

More likely some script overwriting some styles causing that to happen

#

I can't name any of the top of my head though

frail heron
#

do you know if i compress the image in one project and transfer it to another if it will keep the edit?

random owl
#

You can zip up the project folder and send it to me and I'll have a look

#

Well if you export it in a unitypackage yeah but that's a lot of effort for something that should be just fixed more preferably

#

I would also prefer to know what causes that for future reference

frail heron
random owl
#

Hmm

#

Is that the latest version of probuilder from the package manager?

#

I don't think that would be really related

frail heron
#

so it wasn't that. i put in project that worked, and it still good

random owl
#

Yeah there would be a lot more people having that problem if probuilder caused it

#

Since it's more likely just the matter of styles being overwritten you most likely won't get anything in the console

but where is random point located? im having trouble seeing shit today

white bison
#

Trying to make my world using probuilder, but... when I made it, I didn't make everything perfectly square (like in units)

#

so now things won't line up completely "properly" or whatever, should i just restart...?

#

kinda just seems too far gone :/

desert python
#

i mean, you could keep try to fit the seems. itd be nice if unity had a constraining tool of some kind

#

but unity isnt technically for modeling

white bison
#

i.e this issue here

#

Just seems hard to make multi-story worlds properly, like how do you make everything line up perfectly?

#

and what about when you add stuff on?

#

guess ill just restart

desert python
#

try blender or a extrusion program of some kind

What are the best shaders to use for worlds?

dusk sapphire
#

Standard is the usual way to go

meager garnet
#

but im running into a maaaajor issue now with some other stuff, hell i might even need a moderator or somebody who knows world stuff well as I'm very unsure why this is happening NOW and never before

there's a shader I'm using for this plugin called MTree. Basically it allows somebody to generate their own trees with a bunch of elaborate settings and transform those builds into prefabs to place all around a map. They even come with LOD.

I've used the plugin since about early 2019, and I've uploaded TWO worlds which both utilize these trees. I'm heavily remaking an old world of mine, with insane optimization with baked lighting and a lot more features and stuff. But the ONLY issue with it now, is the trees, and their reaction to a directional light. In the editor they look like this:

📎 unknown.png
#

but i hit upload, and all of a sudden they look like this ingame.

📎 unknown.png
#

for whatever reason, vrchat is entirely ignoring any directional light shadows for the shading on the trees, this never happened before and I have no idea why it's breaking all of a sudden. I get this EXACT same effect if have "Recieve Shadows" toggled off on any of the affected meshes

#

and it's only on this shader, I did a test with standard shading, and the shadows work fine.

I have no idea why it's breaking now, as it worked 100% fine about a year ago. I tried updating the unity package from the asset store and everything, nothing. Static settings do nothing, even with baked lightmaps turned off.

I have jsut one guess though- this shader does move slightly, MTree uses something to move their trees around to emulate wind through their shaders. THat's all I can think of.

But, the crazy shit is that I have two worlds currently uploaded that I can look at right now, which have this exact same shader, one with the exact same material even, and they look the same as they do in the engine.

TL;DR: the shaders of MTree for some reason ignore directional light (and possibly all lights) shadows in VRChat exclusively. This didn't happen before, and is only a problem when the world's emulated in VRC. Any word on shadows breaking with semi-custom shading, or am I alone here? Or is there an argument/edit I can make to the shader file to fix this?

#

i know there's a lot of deets but if there's any info i can get for fixing some weird problem like this please @ me

#

hell if I need to I can pastebin the shader code or something if somebody needs to look at it

#

i reaaally want to get this shader working again because it looks spectacular and sacrifices next to no performance compared to other methods of making trees look lifelike

I made a simple world with SDK2 and I got into the world in VRChat and four problems; I can't move, I can't jump, I can only move my camera angle up and down, and my quick menu only stays for a second once when I'm in the world. How would I got about fixing these issues?

errant beacon
#

Add a VRC_PlayerMods component to the world to enable jumping/running, and make sure the spawnpoint isn't inside something

random owl
#

You have your respawn height set to 1

#

So the world forces you to continually respawn assuming you have your floor at y 0

viral oak
#

My floor is at Y 0

random owl
#

Yeah so you should have your respawn height below a place you want to stand on

viral oak
#

So I should set it to a negative number?

random owl
#

Yes the default is -100

viral oak
#

Okay, I added playermods (jump, voice, and speed), moved the GameObject that I use as spawnpoint, and changed the spawnpoint to -100 and everything works as it should

glossy vapor
#

Why are my mirrors so blurry even though i've enabled everything on the reflect layers

errant beacon
#

I'd recommend turning up the resolution of your mirror, enabling all the layers just makes the mirror much more expensive to render

glossy vapor
#

I have, the resolution is x1024

#

Are there anyways to go even higher?

glossy vapor
errant beacon
#

Is it a dropdown, or a textbox? o:

#

if it's just a textbox, you could just manually type in 2048

glossy vapor
#

It's a dropdown

#

Auto?

errant beacon
#

You could try setting it to Auto to see if that helps? assuming your VR headset's resolution is higher than 1024

glossy vapor
#

Yeah

#

I've set it to auto and I can see the difference, I'm just wondering if it'll be different for other players?

errant beacon
#

Auto will set it to whatever that user's headset resolution is, as far as I know? o:

#

Rift DK1 or something would be quite low wheras someone with an Index would have a much higher resolution mirror, etc

glossy vapor
#

Ah I see

#

Thanks for the help!

random owl
#

Auto is best quality

#

@glossy vapor ^^

glossy vapor
#

Alright got it! Thanks.

errant beacon
#

yw! c:

glossy vapor
#

How do I get it so that the mirror won't be visible when players join

#

In other words disable it

#

but they will be able to activate it with a button

errant beacon
#

SDK2 or SDK3?

glossy vapor
#

SDK2

errant beacon
#

in your case, OnInteract would toggle the Mirror gameobject, and it should be local only

glossy vapor
#

I know that, but how do I have it disable when you first spawn in?

errant beacon
#

Disable the gameobject in Unity before you upload I think? There should be a checkbox to the left of the gameobject's name in the Inspector

random owl
#

Yeah just literally disable the gameobject

im trying to test a world but i cant get the build window to come up in my unity project.
ive redownloaded the 2020.12.09 package twice and im using unity 2018.4.20f1.
any thoughts, or something im missing?

random owl
#

As in you press the control panel button but it doesn't show up?

gloomy cipher

yep

#

i stole a working sdk from another project (v2020.4.3), but it might be a bad file in the newest sdk/ bad upload

#

something to look into

random owl
#

Well the first would be to check if there's errors in your console with the other sdk

gloomy cipher
#

there was one, something about the clear cache and playerdata existing

random owl
#

That one is normal

#

This is the main thing that comes to mind with your description but since you said it works with another version it's not as likely that it would be the actual problem

it may have been bakery/autosaver i had in the project

I'm trying to create a mirror that is transparent aside from the avatars in front of it. I've tried messing with the Reflect Layers of the script... and I've even tried making a camera/rendertexture version but can't seem to get the alpha working on either.
Anyone have any ideas?

# toxic fulcrum I'm trying to create a mirror that is transparent aside from the avatars in fron...

You can do it with a camera and render texture. On the camera you want the Clear Flags to be solid color, and set the color to be fully transparent, moving its alpha slider down to 0. Then change the cameras culling mask to Player layer only, so it only shows the player layer, and the rest is some transparent color. Your screen that shows the cameras view should have a material with the Standard shader set to cutout (or fade i think) or any shader that supports cutout/tranparency. It will cutout everything but the player layer.

hey guys whenever i go to upload my world instead of bringing me to the upload screen it brings me to the game tab like i pressed play normally

Your main camera has depth over 0 most likely

bold ibex
#

how do i change that

random owl
#

Find the camera whichever that on you are seeing on the upload screen is and change the depth value on it

Though I'm a bit confused what your exact steps are after reading the above

this?

is that a issue

What version of unity are you on?

#

What's the world id?

#

So you have nothing set in the pipeline manager in your vrcworld?

#

What kind of error?

#

Like what did it actually say

silk osprey
#

I just got that after I changed the names, but then I noticed I Was logged out of my SDK somehow.. I'm trying again

#

I'm in the middle of an upload now... hoping it works this time..

random owl
#

There has been log out problems past few days so could be related to that maybe(?)

silk osprey
#

I think so, I've been noticing constantly being logged out

random owl
#

Apparently they did something to fix that just an hour or so ago but could take a bit before it takes effect

silk osprey
#

@bold ibex was in here helping me with my upload actually, the problem he describes was mine. I had originally uploaded the world and taken it down to do some adjustments and then it was doing this successful upload without appearing thing.

#

I can say right now, I got the successful upload notification, but it is not in my Content Manager

errant beacon
#

Has the world properly updated before, and have you added anything since then?

random owl
#

That was just server side stuff

errant beacon
#

could recommend adding VRWorldTools to your project and checking the errors from inside the tool then, it might not be uploading the new version

silk osprey
#

I think I only messed with lighting, but I did ntoice I had an empty script under a light, which I've not deleted

#

Also I deleted my world from Content Manager, I didn't know there was a way to update it

errant beacon
#

yup! If you reupload on-top of the same blueprint ID, it'll update the world

random owl
#

That is almost never right

errant beacon
random owl
#

But you still got it wrong after the edit 😄

errant beacon
#

ik rofl
also @bold ibex are you running Unity 2018.4.20f1?

random owl

They are that's the first thing I asked

errant beacon
#

oh pfft
then yeah, that's weird

silk osprey
#

thanks for the red arrow, that was a close one

#

LOL

errant beacon
#

lmao
but yeah, besides adding VRWorldToolkit to find world issues you could also try completely deleting then reimporting the VRChat SDK to maybe fix that?

#

assuming the weird update thing is actively a problem lol

silk osprey
#

I'll probably try that

random owl
#

The text file the update checker pulls from is almost never updated

This was my first upload and I was finally going to show it to a friend and then it wouldnt work. I thought I was going mad. haha

That's just how sdk2 is

silk osprey

Am I supposed to fix that? They seem to work in the build and test

lol ok

GUESS WHAT

Detaching the blue print fixed it

I must've junked it up when I deleted it to fix instead of overwriting the update

Hello - hoping somebody can give me a steer on something. I am looking to either create a very simple PoC myself for a small music venue for streaming performances from Twitch onto the big screen on a stage. Following on from the PoC, I'm looking to potentially commission the services of a software engineer to develop it.

#

Performances will consist of live music and DJ sets.

#

Primarily these will be broadcast on twitch.tv/deepradiolondon, from which I want to extract the stream URL and then play this on a media player in a custom world.

#

I'm wondering if there is something similar that I could pinch for the PoC and then customise for the first release. Depending on the level of moderation available, we could have an instance available to the public, or run ticket sales outside of VRChat, for guests to obtain their invitation.

#

I saw an old VRChat presentation where they were talking about extra controls geared towards stage performances. I would want to be able to have a VIP room, and a green room for performers.

#

During a live music event, the plan is also to use another Twitch channel to stream the first person capture of the host's VRChat character, with maybe a couple of other ones for different camera angles within the VRChat environment. I would the use Twitch Squad stream to allow the consumer to choose whether they want to just view the raw performance stream or go through the VRChat video capture. I am hoping that this Hybrid approach will entice more people into VRChat who would normally only view on Twitch.

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to change position of a GameObject?
I have a GameObject with multiple files inside of it,
I want to have a button to reset the GameObject to a default positon (x=0, Y=0, Z=20)

(You can move the GameObject, But not the files inside to clarify)

I have tried adding a button but I can't see anything that has like a name called "Transform Position" etc.
How can I do this?

Does VR Chat, Altspace or any of the other major VR social apps have a option where your world only shows up in searches for users within, say the same city of your choice? I love meeting people from around the world but sometimes I would also like to make/check out a room where I know everyone in there is likely someone I hang with outside of VR in IRL.

Thanks Temporal, I'll give it a try and see. Kinda need impact sounds for cars :)

#

Hmm. Straight "no" for all the popular social VR platforms? Seems like it would be a fairly popular feature. No creative way? For example the low tech way would be to simply name the room by the city or posting a private invite to the room on certain community pages that are somehow related to a common geographic location. However it would more effective if some kind of geographic filter was a option natively Within any of these apps themselves.
