Hey, is there a way to define which button is used for which interaction on keyboard + mouse setup? Context: I have a chair that is pickupable and also a station. In VR there is a grab button and a trigger to use (sit). On PC I only have left mouse button for these two, which as you imagine does both simultaneously and glitches the avatar.
How can I map this so left mouse button -> grab, right mouse button -> sit for example?

@frank garden
Normally you must have a location in the prefab to enter a link

right there is a place to put the link but a person must still hit the video button to start the player
I found that if I enable the SpawnedOriginal checkbox in in the iwaSyncVideo prefab, the video will start playing when I enter the room, but you won't be able to see it on the screen, the screen stays black like it is off and you can only get audio out of the player. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to get it to automatically play, but also still show the video

I tried updating my sdk3 for worlds by removing the folder and importing the new package but now my SDK is all messed up
Is this fixable somehow?
thorn badge
why when i try and upload now it says this
ruby roost
I tried updating my sdk3 for worlds by removing the folder and importing the new...
same, screwed up my sdk once again. these steps worked for me: create a new project, import the new SDK, the delete these folders from your project & copy/paste in the ones from the new project. also make sure to update Udon# if you're using it
also i lost all udon behaviours so I have to reapply & configure >50 scripts. so sick of doing this crap
kind leaf
Very little hurts more than when Unity stops responding while updating. Could be worse, could be working in the Creation Kit 😛
ruby roost
i grossly understated my pain. it appears all udon sharp scripts got removed, so I am now checking over 1K udon behaviour scripts to see which ones were udon#, and trying to remember which script they need (several are prefabs and i have no clue how they work). i'm so frustrated, I'm not sure what I did wrong
kind leaf
I use the safe method:
select you scene, right click to select dependencies; export package while unchecking the dependencies tab.
Then start a new project, import new sdk, new udon# and then your newly packaged project. Make sure to not re-import any sdk or u# core files. If it has the update/refresh icon uncheck them.
Never had an issue and it cleans up my builds
If scripts detach its because the order of operations was wrong. Importing a files that requires scripts before the core files that permit the scripts to exist removes them. Common mistake when importing avatars with dynamic bones 🙂
ruby roost
the udon behaviour remained on all objects, its just the udon# argument disappeared on most, but not all. what should I have done? I've had plenty of problems with their crappy SDK upgrade experience, but thats never effected my actual project
kind leaf
Well, 1) Backup before upgrading. If things go south you arnt left with 1k scripts to fix. and 2) when in doubt, upgrade with a clean build like I explained above. Doesnt help you now but will prevent heartache in the future.
Backing up in unity is a pain because its not a feature; but using something like 7z set to minimal compression eliminates lengthy backup times.
ruby roost
yeah, i do weekly manual backups. its a pain to copy & compress some 80K files (why are there so many), and upload on my slow connection to some safe place. i'm never too screwed, but i've made enough progress since my last backup that going through >1k udon behaviours is the path of least resistance. my only saving grace is that after re-applying the udon# asset to the udon beheviour, it somehow remembers the exact arguments
if it knows each specific objects arguments, then clearly theres info stored somewhere that links the udon# with that specific object....
kind leaf
🙂 What are you building that is so script intensive? If you dont mind
ruby roost
5x decks of cards, and lots of chairs probably accounts for ~500 objects with udon behaviors with no script attached. then in addition, all the other little games, various mirrors w/ triggers, several door locks, door bells, monitors, etc. adds up. then all the cool prefab toys
kind leaf
ah, ive got a deck prototype that uses 1 script. Stacks, shuffles, and resets but ive got an issue for collision calculations somewhere because shuffle generates an fps spike and more than one deck halves the rooms fps. Its getting there though.
not a large script either
ruby roost
hmm, i just have 52 objects in a deck object, each card has an empty udon behaviour that syncs its position. its in a layer that doesn't collide with itself, and i have a similar script that shuffles & resets positions w/ no problems
kind leaf
yeah thats my problem i suspect. I have it checking collision with the table and its siblings because I wanted a nice stack of cards... Works great when they dont check each other.
ruby roost
card colliders would be tricky; i assume you have gravity on? what happens if someone picks up the bottom card, wouldn't all your cards go flying? if you have kinematic on, then are colliders really necessary?

cause you know, arpeggiators, and everything else.
desert python
i think so. however itd take some work to make the thing sync up in a way to sounds normal depending on the players ping
frigid echo
most likely yeah, i suppose the solution to that would be to sync all audio inputs from one master client, basically making it to where only one person could be "making" music at a time
cause computers can't see in the future, well they kind of can, but unity can't
also, to add to that, i can run the unity client and it reads MIDI inputs just fine, but when i'm ingame, it doesn't recognize my inputs, is there something i have to do to make it handle that information?
desert python
im not exactly sure. vrc broke most of the original midi games so they could add more settings and nodes you could change. i think theres an examble of how to set up midi inputs but im not sure
frigid echo
i didn't see one in the docs, might be hidden somewhere.
is there any sort of limitations based on ownership of an object?
dusk sapphire
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/midi
When you visit a world with Midi events, VRChat will try to open the first Midi device it can find on your machine. If you have multiple devices and want to specify which one to use, you can pass part of its name as command-line argument. For example, if you have a device that appears in Windows as "SchneebleCo MidiKeySmasher 89", you can add this to your launch options / script:
--midi=midikeysmasher
that perhaps?
frigid echo
just a sec i'm gonna try running into my midi container
alright yeah it still doesn't work, i'm curious if ingame it's not reading it, but i can't add that command line argument through the sdk

its all scripting based rather than components
tropic crater

dusk sapphire
make sure you grab the latest version of https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp before importing that
tropic crater
thank you!
I think that documentation could be more clear tho, which components are working with which SDK version
UdonSharp is a compiler that compiles C# to Udon assembly
also, is this something officially supported?
or is everyone counting here on 3rd party asset, and that someone will have time to update it if VRChat decides to change things
dusk sapphire
SDK3 uses VRChat's in house scripting solution. UdonSharp simply converts C# into the same format as VRChat's scripting solution
prefabs for sdk3 will be built on top of Udon
be it through Udon Graphs directly, or using UdonSharp
tropic crater
god sent, I hate udon actually 😄 I prefer scripting
I've made some simple udon behaviours, but it goes to spaghetti really fast if you want something more complex

Is it necessary to have prefabs on the prefab layer? I'm having some performance issues in my world and I'd like the prefabs not to collide with eachother, but still collide with the world. I was considering placing them on the Player layer, as the Player layer collides with most everything except other Players.
random owl
You can have them on any layer you want, unity has no built in prefabs layer

Heyo thank you guys again for that baked light tutorial but how do i make the lighting on the avatars more bright because now the avars are no longer black but still pretty dark

For the love of god, please could somebody tell me why my SDK keeps logging me out every 10 or so minutes then taking a full 10 minutes (sometimes longer) to log me back in. Not to mention the fact that it isn't even remembering my credentials so I have to enter them every single time 😠
So frustrating and slows me down significantly, this is with the latest SDK as well as with previous versions
Just updated my SDK following the best practice posted by VRC on both PC and Quest versions of my world and this happens on SDK3 and 2

Hello, Im making my first map for a small school project. At the moment i have just set up the example scene. The problem is that i can't find how i can test the map in vr. I would guess that it is just turning off Force non-VR but that doesn't seam to do it. can enyone help?

I'm interested in this also, right now we run all of our DJs though my own streaming servers and use RTSPT in the new Udon players which has been working well but paying for all the infrastructure isn't too great
Also the Twitch ad breaks screw everything up... I basically want what I have now with my custom servers but using a trusted URL 😄

so i havent superly touched on vrchat worlds, how do i make teleportation pads? like you walk on them and boom youre somewhere else with the portal and you walk back over it and itll bring you back
desert python
in 3.0 udon, theres a walkin teleport prefab. for sdk2, I don’t know but probably somewhere theres a teleporter
tardy owl
oooof
i dont know how to do udon so 😓
im only used to 3.0 atm
2.0*
mm,,, i could try to learn udon though, seems fun
desert python
hmmm, theres probably someone here thats smart and has a teleport thing for sdk2

can i use the avatar 3.0 or is there a different download for 3.0 worlds?
i forgot where to find the download page for the sdks

make sure its a fresh project, dont import it into a project that already has an sdk imported

How do I create a proper emissive material? Checking the "emission" box doesn't seem to do much
It makes the object itself "fullbright" but does not actually emit light.
Does it perhaps bake when I build?
dusk sapphire
you have to bake lighting for that, even for real time emissives
look at the tutorial pinned in #world-lighting to get started on baking lighting
if you also want it to look like its glowing, that's a product of bloom, a post processing effect, and silent's guide is a good starting point

Why TF do I need an internet connection in order to test a world that I created on my own pc, which I still have within my pc, and I'm not even playing multiplayer

you can use cyanemu to test within the editor itself https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

Most things should behave more or less the same, if you're testing interactivity and what not.
There are some caveats but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Does vrchat force forward rendering in worlds ? since point lights don't work well in forward rendering
near escarp
vrchat uses forward rendering
thick badge
nice
near escarp
Bake them if they're static
waxen cove
The way lighting is setup is complicated so i can't bake them
the 2nd uv channel is already used for baked GI which are textures from Sonic Unleashed
so i can't bake again ontop of that it'd break the uvs for the GI
near escarp
Have you tried a duplicate of the world with overwritten second lightmap UV channel and bake it combined with regular lighting ?
waxen cove
if i overwrite the lightmap uvs i can bake ofc, but then the preset unleashed GI would break cuz that uses 2nd uv channel
near escarp
Sure, but what are they doing that is so special that it couldn't be replicated through Unity's baking ?
waxen cove
It's just hard to recreate it accurately, so i prefer using the original GI
and unity often overlaps things so there's issues to fix if i bake in unity
you can see how i setup my shader for this
slow orbit
If you want to keep the option for the original baked GI but also use unity's, you'd have to run the meshes through blender or something and duplicate the GI lightmap UVs to another uv channel (and readjust your shader for this)
waxen cove
hm could do that yeah
copy uvs to 3rd channel and use 2nd for unity GI
but that's pain smh
near escarp
Yeah i think that's worth, just for the performance tradeoff
and visually it'll be a lot better
waxen cove
shame forward rendering sucks with point lights
here's the scene without any unity lighting at all, still is nice cuz of Unleashed GI
slow orbit
shame forward rendering sucks with point lights
Save your file, ideally to a copy in case anything goes wrong. Paste this into a text editor window in blender, select the objects that need the lightmap duplicating to the third layer and hit alt+p and pray.
import bpy
for am in bpy.context.selected_objects:
ad = am.data
try:
ad.uv_layers.active = ad.uv_layers[1]
bpy.ops.mesh.uv_texture_add()
except:
print("No second UV layer, doing nothing")
pass```oh nice, tho i don't use blender i use 3ds max, it can copy uvs with a modifier
will try that if max doesn't work right
slow orbit
Now I'm just having flashbacks to maxscript and I want to die
waxen cove
yeah pain lmao
did a quick bake test just using the unleashed uvs
isn't too bad for being low quality bake
there is a bit of uv overlapping but oh well
another thing i hate with standard unity is the clustering which takes years
It's a lot better in hdrp and urp
slow orbit
I massively prefer the progressive lightmapper over enlighten.
Except if you need realtime GI in which case LOL OK
waxen cove
i did use progressive
and it's baked not realtime gi
major pain just to have point lights smh
slow orbit
Clustering is for Realtime GI
waxen cove
tfw i didn't notice it being enabled
disabled it so gonna redo the bake
would be neat if vrchat had options to just chose the render path tho
slow orbit
There's also a bug in unity 2018 with realtime gi that takes up 5ms of frame time in VR doing fuck all.
waxen cove
they should update vrchat honestly
newer versions are so much better
plus the 2018 Editor UI looks trash
slow orbit
They do update, just have to take it slow and careful so they break as little user content as possible.
It was easier back when the user base and total content was less since they could just have everyone rebuild & reupload, which is what happened back when the 5.3 to 5.6 update happened.
waxen cove
I see
near escarp
If you're on an nvidia GPU, Bakery is a must have
slow orbit
Switching to HDRP would be a total breaking change for shaders at the very least.
waxen cove
Nvidia ftw yeah
Yeah HDRP uses diff shaders so all of the current ones would completely break
custom shaders too
slow orbit
Except a whole set of completely different struggles with Bakery. It's the cost for the speed.
waxen cove
dunno what bakery is lol
slow orbit
GPU lightmap baking addon
near escarp
waxen cove
For Unity ?
waxen cove
I mean i have Vray in max and my shaders allow me to use my own lightmaps without baking in Unity itself
near escarp
and uses less lightmaps
slow orbit
Progressive is a lot more usable in 2019 and onwards because of the integrated Intel Open Image Denoise denoiser.
waxen cove
cuz of that but also cuz of it being faster too
slow orbit
OpenCL progressive is still not 100% in 2019 because it fails on lightmaps larger than 2k for no good reason
Well, some dumb memory error but dear god Unity's memory handling is something else
waxen cove
Yeah it's a bit wacky, it'll fail to use your gpu and fall back to cpu if the scene is big, or if you don't have a lot of vram or ram
had that happen often
so turns out i don't even need to move the uvs
near escarp
Nice

how to make picture slideshow that can manually i click next or previous picture? im using sdk2
empty kettle
Hello, im getting an error saying i need the scene descriptor but i have it. and if i try to add anther it says i can only have one. what do i do?
im using sdk3 btw
why does everything vanish when running it? is this normal or is this the cause of the problem
but if i were to add another one it says i can only use 1
random owl
I mean in the below screenshot I see two
empty kettle
yes cause i tried putting two
since if i put one it says there are none
@random owl
random owl
But your above picture has none?
empty kettle
why does everything vanish when running it? is this normal or is this the cause ...
this is what shows when i press build
empty kettle
but normally its this
everything just seems to vanish when i press build
which explains why it says there are none, but then if i try adding another one it somehow knows there are 2
random owl
So can you show me a screenshot where you just have one in the scene?
random owl
And now without the cropping
empty kettle
its the same one
empty kettle
its literally this but i just pressed build and test
random owl
Why does it have a different name then?
empty kettle
between the last two pics i sent?
random owl
Yeah other one is SampleScene and other one says Untitled
dusk sapphire
I think that can happen if an error happens during the building process and it doesn't properly reload the scene
random owl
Is there anything in your console when that happens?
empty kettle
Is there anything in your console when that happens?
nope
dusk sapphire
try going into play mode
empty kettle
random owl
Disable clear on play and try again
empty kettle
and if i try to build i get the same stuff: everything vanishes and it says i need a descriptor
and this showed up in the console
needless to say that im in the correct version of unity and im using sdk3
random owl
Are you able to record a video of this happening with the whole unity window properly visible would make it easier to make more guesses on what's going on
random owl
The windows popup was telling you that the vrchat program was not found since you haven't set the linking to it
random owl
Whenever you open/close vrchat it should popup the small windows form app to set it up
Or in the sdk settings page just set the client path point directly to the vrchat.exe
empty kettle
ok i set the location now ill see if anything changes
well thats interesting
it worked but somehow i still got the error saying i need a descriptor
yet it opens the world up no problem
random owl
It just opens the empty scene briefly during the build process
random owl
No worries

So I'm debating learning how to make VRChat worlds, but before I did, I wanted to know how limited it was programming wise-- am I able to have scripts control in-world things?

So I have an RX 580 OC, I have a Ryzen 7 3700X, and 32GB of rams, normally I'm at 200 while being at my home, and there I tested on a quad without light or directional light with make it 50 and I'm 140, why are you stealing our FPS?
I unbridle my fps to optimize my worlds as much as possible, being limited to 130 how can I know if they are optimized?

Hi, how can I test my world from oculus quest? I've tried inviting myself from desktop browser, but I'm not getting the invite ingame
I am getting ingame invite if I'm logged to vrchat on desktop though
but I have both android and PC versions uploaded
void bison

You cannot invite yourself because the tests are done locally, for VRChat when you test your world you are not really connected, you have to do your tests from PC, and publish your world in private to do it. online Quest test
tropic crater
wait, so I can't test android build before making the world public?
I can test only as a PC build locally?
random owl
If you uploaded it on your own account you can just join it from the Mine section in worlds

is this somewhere in the "worlds" tab in game settings?
random owl
Yeah, lists all your own world private or public
tropic crater
hm, then it's not showing up, both on PC or on Quest. The world is private and the only way to access it currently is to launch invite instance, and then send invite to myself from browser
and this only works on PC, I don't get the invite when I'm logged to vrchat on Quest
I'll try deleting and reuploading the world with only Android version
random owl
Main reason why it wouldn't show up is if you are using Unity version that is not 2018.4.20f1
void bison
@random owl Hi, do you also have FPS drops since the last VRChat update?
random owl
No

deep roost
Hello, I wanted to ask how to add music to the world, I’m not entirely finding great answers with YouTube, just basically if anyone a a good tutorial or something
unique field
you can use a video player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fqFmqBDSNU
there might be other ways though
doing it this way creates a delay when switching songs, and you can only switch songs every 5 seconds, so you can't have multiple videos playing music unless you set it up correctly
deep roost
An idea I thought of to deal with that is just to have 4 songs that you can choose by picking a book on a counter

Anyone know how to fix this?
halcyon flax
Hey, so there's a sound playing in my world when that sound was never actually put into the scene. What do?
guys how do I get rid of the sound? It's not even in my hierarchy
Also, how do I make terrain not laggy?????????
Figured out the sound thing
Some other objects sneakily renamed themselves for whatever reason
rain swallow
does anyone know how to fix my skd3 not realizing there is as scene descriptor? I put it in the scene, but when I go to upload it, it tells me to put a scene descriptor in

Is there a quicker way to get a map out of labs? I've got maps through labs before the normal waiting and lots of visits way.
But I have someone who wants a venue for a charity festival, but having it in labs would put a hamper on people getting to join in to it.

I haven't uploaded the new one yet.
Yea it'll be public but to my knowledge people can't search up community labs maps unless they turn on the labs setting.
Which isn't optimal for people to find an event If they don't know about that
halcyon flax
Can you invite friends to worlds that aren't in community labs?
desert python
@white moon correct, however it does show up on the website
which is far easier to use either way
@halcyon flax correct 👍
halcyon flax
<@!257327503750725632> correct 👍
awesome, sick, and based
I have naught to worry about then

@halcyon flax what is your trust rank? if youre half a year, something is up
halcyon flax
<@!257327503750725632> what is your trust rank? if youre half a year, something ...
idk, maybe its shorter than half a year. It's difficult to gauge because I've had the game for much longer than Iv'e played the game, if that makes sense.
I'm not sure my trust rank. How do I check?
desert python
ic, well if youre "user" rank, you can publish them to labs which will make them public
if you go to the website or game. your icon on the top left of the menu will tell you
halcyon flax
I'm "Active"
halcyon flax
Looks yellow.
desert python
if its blue or grey, thats too low for publishing
halcyon flax
I'm somewhat colorblind (deuter) and i have night light on

I see. Damn, I was never a very public person. Ah well, as long as I can invite my own friends I'm happy :)
Thank you for the info!

This is a bit of an odd question but, how do I make objects pickupable while using a mesh collider and not a box collider? Or is that not possible?
desert python
it should work the same way
if you were successful using a box collider, than it should work with a mesh collider
short jacinth
Ah! Figured out the problem. Simply had to check the "Convex" box on the Mesh collider script
desert python
try again?

Those errors are called compiled errors. You recieved them when one of your triggers isn't correct, you have an object within your project that isn't compatible with your current unity version, or you having future proofing turned on.
@pallid dove ^
storm scarab
when I build and publish it future proofs it and doesnt actually upload, no reds in console
server issue or something I'm doing?
dusk sapphire
disable future proof in settings
dusk sapphire
well, you should keep it disabled anyway as it doesnt do anything and just increases upload time
any errors in console?
does it successfully upload or just fails during the process?
storm scarab
just some lighting warnings is what I was about to say and then I unhid reds and there are some SDK2 errors... which I don't understand because only SDK3 components are in the assets...
but those were on import, not on upload
so pretty sure those are irrelevant
dusk sapphire
can you show them anyway
dusk sapphire
you have compile errors
that snailmarker prefab you downloaded was for avatars on sdk2, and wont work on worlds sdk3
dusk sapphire
no, just delete that snail marker script
storm scarab
oh so it works the same as avatars then
thought it would need the shit it cried about since its a world
cool thanks
storm scarab
okay now im really confused if i f'ed up or not lol. trying to load into the world forces me back home, which is something that can happen with any world but im not sure if it was because of me this time
especially with the servers how they are atm

Some more progress from yesterday
waxen cove
importing sdk 2 just throws errors for the avatars, not sure what the issue is
dusk sapphire
did you import the sdk2 into a project with sdk3?
waxen cove
nah i imported sdk3 deleted it and imported sdk2
dusk sapphire
you need to go to project settings > player > other settings > scripting define symbols
waxen cove
just gonna use sdk3 anyway so doesn't matter
dusk sapphire
and remove references to sdk3

importing sdk 2 just throws errors for the avatars, not sure what the issue is

I'm not even doing anything regarding avatars so there's no need to tell me to go to that channel breh
@void bison tiny brain moment
void bison
This is to avoid mixing (x
waxen cove
Of course, but again i have no use for that channel as im doing a world
dusk sapphire
his console was throwing errors from a component in the sdk2 that handles some avatar things, not that he was actually using it for avatars
waxen cove
^ exactly

hoooowww as much for me!
