shader coding isnt my strongest.

honestly i'd be willing to post a properly made show in that format if someone want to have it play. it would be cool to port some actual shows made at festivals.. to a small degree using it

[dusk sapphire]

you'll want to look up how to do vertex displacement based on a depth texture

[last granite]

will do! will that shader group also be usefull to get started or to find someone (and compensate) for that kind of work. im not doing it as a business

but i just wanna bring that experience a bit closer to the users!

Hello I am trying to Loop a MP4 video on a plane via a Render Texture. It works in Unity Play mode but it does not work when I build and test in VRchat. Does someone know why?

[dusk sapphire]

are you on sdk2 or 3

[whole plover]

udon

[dusk sapphire]

on sdk3 you can't use the built in unity video players

[whole plover]

thats 3

oh

[dusk sapphire]

and unfortunately that also means you cant play local videos

[whole plover]

So I need to upload it somewhere?

[dusk sapphire]

yeah

[whole plover]

Is there a replacement component for the Video Player?

that allows me to loop it directly from a URL

[dusk sapphire]

yeah, you need to use the udon based video players

[whole plover]

VRC unity video player?

ah there we go

lemme test that

[elder bear]

can you use a world made in blender for vrchat?

[short gulch]

Yup

[wary token]

Yes you can, but use FBX if you are able to. .blend files have some weird issues inside of Unity even though they are supported.

[elder bear]

oke thank you

[lilac plaza]

Does anyone know anything about making a movie world like Gen's or Root's?

[outer oxide]

i have been trying to port my world to android but i keep getting this error can any one help ?

[silent furnace]

I've run into a bit of a bug with a control panel in my world. In Unity, and for the Instance owner, everything appears correctly, but for anyone else, the buttons are all skewed in different directions. Curious if anyone else has run into this problem and what the fix might be (if there is one) It's really frustrating.

Instance Owner

Not Instance Owner

[dusk sapphire]

that is weird, skewing usually happens when you have objects in a hierarchy and the parents are scaled unevenly on one axis

is this a pick up object?

[bold ibex]

copy the dll manually to the Library folder then delete the Temp folder .dll

Am I doing this right here?

[outer oxide]

Where can i find the dll?

[bold ibex]

it literally specified it in the logs

[outer oxide]

I started over my project and its working now somehow

[bold ibex]

Your Project folder:
Temp/Unity.TextMeshPro.Editor.dll
and copy it to Library/ScriptAssemblies/Unity

Oh
Oh well

[outer oxide]

Thank You ❤️

[bold ibex]

Hey yall, any beginner tips or videos for Udon world creation ?

[near escarp]

#udon-general

[eager garnet]

anyone know where i can get a working url video player for my sdk2 world?

[silent furnace]

no just buttons on a control panel...it's just weird it is normal for the instance owner, and skewed for everyone else

[gloomy heart]

there seems to be an issue with updating worlds it updated my picture to the world but not the content in it

[primal echo]

Would anyone be willing to help me set up a lightmap swapping system for SDK2? I looked at maebbie's tutorial and it's just going right over my head honestly, would be great if someone could walk me through it

@ me if you can help, would greatly appreciate it

[echo rapids]

Why is my world using a new ID? I've updated the SDK from an old world. How do I go about using my original ID?

[dusk sapphire]

in the vrcsdk go to content manager, you can grab the id's from your existing uploads there, and insert it into the pipeline manager component

[echo rapids]

@dusk sapphire Hi there. There's no option to insert the ID into the Pipeline Manager Component. Do I edit the script?

[dusk sapphire]

hit the detach blueprint button to remove the current id there

[echo rapids]

@dusk sapphire Thank you. Very much appreciated 😄

[bold ibex]

I've been making a Board game world that is for both PC and Quest. Everything has been fine, but a world breaking bug suddenly showed up.
The objects that were Kinematic on PC now have gravity on the quest version, and the objects that had gravity are now kinematic. I never touched the settings on the quest version, and when I checked, everything seemed perfectly normal inside of Unity. Does anybody have a clue as to what's happening?

[dusk sapphire]

is this happening when you're alone, or when you're testing with another person on the other platform?

[bold ibex]

When I'm with the Quest user

[dusk sapphire]

then its likely that you have desync issues, which can happen when your scene hierarchy between the pc and quest versions are not identical

I would also check to see if the two of you see the same objects being picked up

[bold ibex]

We do see the same objects, I checked that immediately

[dusk sapphire]

well, you can rule it out if it happens when you're alone in the instance and it still happens i suppose

[bold ibex]

Nothing weird happens when I'm alone in the instance, so

[dusk sapphire]

if the quest user is alone do they see those kinematic and non-kinematic objects switch behaviors?

[bold ibex]

I'll get them to check that really quick

[bold ibex]

They said that the Objects behave normally when he's alone on quest

[dusk sapphire]

it does sound like desync then

you said you see the same objects, but i'm guessing they're your board game pieces

are each piece distinct so you can tell each one apart?

[bold ibex]

Yes, they are all different characters

There is a character piece and a character card behind that piece. The pieces are supposes to be non-kinematic and the Cards are. When one person loads into the instance after the other, the cards spawn where the pieces are supposed to, and vice versa

[dusk sapphire]

are you on sdk2 or 3

[bold ibex]

sdk2

[dusk sapphire]

is your scene hierarchy between pc and quest identical? and when i say identical i do mean 100% identical down to every last game object

[bold ibex]

It's not, not anymore

[dusk sapphire]

just a single game object missing can cause desync issues, i've never seen something like yours happen, but i wouldnt rule out that being the cause

[bold ibex]

And after testing more objects, there are some objects that aren't the same on pc to quest

[dusk sapphire]

yeah its definitely that then

in unity, the scene hierarchy must match 100%

if you are omitting things on the quest version, leave them as disabled game objects or an empty game object as a place holder

[bold ibex]

I haven't had the hierarchy identical throughout the entire process, and I've never actually had an issue

[dusk sapphire]

In vrchat worlds, things are assigned a network id which is used to sync them between players

the problem is the network id's are assigned based on the hierarchy of your scene

if it doesn't match, the id's dont line up, and you get issues like this

sometimes you get lucky and the network id's turn up the same even with a bit different hierarchies

[bold ibex]

That's why I'm confused as to why I've not had any issues up to now

[dusk sapphire]

but keeping them matched is the only real sure fire way to make sure this doesn't happen

[bold ibex]

Well, I'll certainly give it a shot

[dusk sapphire]

good luck

this is probably the biggest pain with creating cross-platform worlds with sync'd content

[bold ibex]

It's really unfortunate, I was just about to finally make the world public as well

[void bison]

Hello, I noticed that 2 FBX models in each other create a big loss of mrays/sec, so an impact on the performance, it would have an impact on the performance in the game also the fact that FBX models are one in the other?

[bitter lintel]

Hi I’m wondering about the various rpgs found here. I’m not sure if this is the right place to talk about it. There are 3 that I can give examples of. Ascension Acadamy, one that has a bigger world similar to AA, and a more school based one that I have seen. Can anyone tell me more info about these “games”?

[gloomy heart]

i literally cant figure out why it wont update the content in my map but updates the picture?

[errant beacon]

Try importing https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and see what it's debugger reports? o:

Would adding more ram to my system help Unity Editor performance? I currently have 16gb but thinking of upgrading to either 24gb or 32gb

[winged crane]

hey, i'm having trouble uploading a world, when i hit the build and publish button, everything works fine. when i type all the info for the world then hit upload, nothing happens

the vrc cam also won't update the position, but thats not my main concern

can anyone help?

this is what it looks like on my end

the upload button turns grey but nothing pops up

[near escarp]

Is that your first upload ?

[random owl]

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

[winged crane]

yes

[near escarp]

Are you using the most recent SDK ?

[winged crane]

Yes i downloaded the most recent sdk from the website

[winged crane]

it says i have multiple pipeline managers, that's probably the problem right

[random owl]

Yeah

[winged crane]

yeah that added the community labs option i believe it worked

yes it is fixed

thank you both

[simple arrow]

So I'm having an issue with the video player. Whenever i enter a link and press enter the video plays as normal. However pressing ESC or clicking outside of the text box (for entering links) immediately stops the video. Any reason why that may happen?

This is for the Enter button

Ping me if you do respond please!

[serene pike]

How do I use a UI canvas without there being a big collider? I have a tiny world

[desert python]

are you using VR_UI_shape? (a component close to that name?)

[serene pike]

Yes

[desert python]

ok, so you have to add the box collider component and then set it to convex/is trigger (pretty sure its "is trigger")

and then you should be able to walk thru it

[serene pike]

Awesome Ill try it

On the canvas or each of the UI elements or both?

[desert python]

on whatever has "VR_UI_shape". as that component acts as a collider by default, and it needs to be told to use a "is trigger" collider

[serene pike]

How do I fix users not being able to click on my UI elements in my canvas without being really far away?

I tried adding a box collider and setting isTrigger true

[dusk sapphire]

make sure the box colliders thickness is as thin as a flat plane more or less

[serene pike]

What if I just make the collider tiny or move it to far far away?

[dusk sapphire]

https://nyanpa.su/i/Wk971hH9.png

you want it to line up with your UI

because the collider is where the raycast detection will hit for pressing buttons

make sure you have no other colliders in the area that is between the menu and the players

if you need some for enter/exit triggers, put them on mirror reflection layer

[serene pike]

👍

Ta

This is my box collider

It doesnt work

[hollow quail]

so im having issues. i've tried testing a world through the unity test build and i've tried uploading a priv version of the world to vrc, but when i try to load into either version, it downloads and tries to load in, but immediately send me back to my home world, any workarounds?

[serene pike]

Should it be on a specific layer?

[dusk sapphire]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit grab this, it'll check for common issues that can cause that

[dusk sapphire]

i'd make the box smaller so that it just covers the ui

[serene pike]

Like this?

[dusk sapphire]

yeah

you could go a lot thinner than that, and make sure its not behind your wall

[serene pike]

Does it have to be on the UI layer or default?

[dusk sapphire]

default

[hollow quail]

Alright, second issue, is there any way to change world id's? My original world wont allow me to see the sdk control panel

[dusk sapphire]

if you put it on UI, the menu will only be clickable when you have your submenu open

[serene pike]

Ah ok

[dusk sapphire]

if you cant see the sdk control panel, you likely have compile errors, check your console

and see https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/wiki/Fixing-Build-Problems

[serene pike]

Now I cant click on it at all

Do I need to add anything to any of the UI elements or do it all on the canvas?

[dusk sapphire]

can you show a screenshot of your canvas object in the inspector

[serene pike]

Now it's clickable but it still seems to have a too big collider

[dusk sapphire]

what does the collider look like in the scene view?

[dusk sapphire]

like i said before, you can go thinner

you say the collider is too thick, is your raycast colliding with where the surface of that collider looks like or something else?

[serene pike]

Something else

I have no other colliders except the walls/ceiling/floor

Could it be vrchat spawn?

[dusk sapphire]

no

did you put vrc ui shape on the sub components?

[serene pike]

No

[dusk sapphire]

and theres no other colliders?

[serene pike]

Correct

So I should only have a ui shape on the canvas?

[dusk sapphire]

yes

is the ui panel a prefab?

unpack it completely

[serene pike]

No I made it

Ill try turning off everything else in the world except the floor

My cursor is colliding with something

I forgot to turn off the walls so Ill do that

Is the UI system supposed to work when you are standing right next to it?

Does it have a minimum range?

My world is 1m x 1m to start

[dusk sapphire]

not really, it should work fine .

i'd search the scene for colliders in the search box on top of your hierarchy

just type in box collider

and it should show which objects have one

[serene pike]

(wall3 and wall4 have trigger colliders)

[dusk sapphire]

and are these trigger colliders covering the ui?...

[serene pike]

No they are relatively far away

[dusk sapphire]

set all trigger colliders to mirror reflection layer

[hollow quail]

any way to fix this? i've tried re-importing the vrc sdk and it doesnt fix it

[dusk sapphire]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/wiki/Fixing-Build-Problems

you have compile errors

[serene pike]

The thing is when I turned off the walls with those colliders it was still happening

[dusk sapphire]

check your console

[hollow quail]

idk how to fix that tho, it broke just by loading it a little while ago

it worked just fine prior to loading it

"Assets\VRCSDK\Dependencies\VRChat\Editor\ControlPanel\VRCSdkControlPanelBuilder.cs(50,74): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PerformanceRating' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

[dusk sapphire]

do you have any other errors?

is this the latest sdk?

[hollow quail]

this is the latest one, shouyld be

should*

i can try redownloading it

sdk3

[dusk sapphire]

the sdk doesnt break by itself, its usually other scripts in the project that are not compatible

[hollow quail]

i have 19 errors but they're pretty similar

so

i dont have much in the world at all

[dusk sapphire]

what you have in the world is irrelevant, its whats you imported into the project

and those 19 errors might tell what script is causing the issues

[hollow quail]

i reimported the sdk and now only ave 6 errors

have*

"Assets\Plugins\HxVolumetricLighting\Scripts\HxVolumetricLight.cs(1486,27): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'HxDensityVolume' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

all dealing with Hx

[dusk sapphire]

whatever that is, its not compatible with the current version of unity

delete it, you cant use custom scripts in vrchat anyway

[hollow quail]

idk where it came from though is the problem

i hadnt tampered with the map prior to the working on it just recently, and the reason i restarted the project is due to the control panel disappearing

i found that lighting folder and deleted it, its reloading some stuff rn

if you cant tell, im not the most unity savy

yea, its fixed

idk what went wrong before

but its fine now

[dusk sapphire]

HxVolumetricLighting looks like a very old unity asset for unity 5.1.4

its most likely not compatible with unity 2018.4.20f1

[hollow quail]

must have been one of the materials i imported then

you've saved me so much suffering lmao. may be...13 hours late but 🤷‍♂️

[hollow quail]

is there a way to change a world ID?

i need to update a world but the sdk broke

[atomic prawn]

would vrchat work with the VRLRP?

[dusk sapphire]

no, you can only use the standard pipeline

[hollow quail]

im gonna scream if i cant update the world

[celest bramble]

Can someone help me I would like to incorporate the function in my world that e.g. when you open the VRChat menu, a second menu of the world opens which then contains the world settings. (No Udon)

[gentle inlet]

So im trying to do post processing with a collider on it. but for some reason the post processing only works when the collider is on meaning no one can walk into the post Processing zone? anyone know how to fix this ? "sorry im derpy and its probs a really quick fix"

[dusk sapphire]

set the collider to isTrigger, and put it on the mirror reflection layer

[gentle inlet]

Thanks brudda

[dusk sapphire]

wait nevermind on the layer

[gentle inlet]

i was bout to say it stopped working XD

[dusk sapphire]

it should be on the same layer as what you set on your reference camera post process layer script

[gentle inlet]

Right But adding is trigger should fix me not being able to go into the box collider correct?

[dusk sapphire]

yeah

[gentle inlet]

ok cheers

Hi, just a quick one: Is Spatial audio rolloff working? I've tried using the audiosource rolloff and the vrc spatial audio rolloff. On most recent sdk3. I was about to write my own then thought to ask first. ty (radii/radiuses are set seemingly correct)

[honest spade]

I have a simple question. How can I make the UI show on player display in VR mode? Now it's working on desktop mode only.

[nova wraith]

how can I launch VRChat with the --enable-debug-gui flag when doing 'build & test' from Unity?

ah never mind, I found a Steam thread

actually, the method in the steam forum isn't working, it's making me start in my home instead of in the map I'm testing

[dapper knot]

@nova wraith I half remember adding the flags to my launch.bat but this was over a year ago and I have debug from build and test

[nova wraith]

yeah it looks like there's a way that used to work...

[civic ibex]

Has anyone done much gui stuff? I'm looking to have a main menu sort of deal that can be summoned in VR and Desktop. I'll be broadcasting events to my Udon# script and it'll mainly show arranged teams, team points and health.

I haven't seen much of this in VRChat worlds so I'm still researching if there are specific restrictions?

[hollow quail]

Is there a way to update a world throigh a new unity project?

[dapper knot]

@hollow quail in the VRCSDK control panel under content manager you can copy the ID of the old world and paste/attach it to the pipeline manager 'near' the scene descriptor. if you publish it will essentially overwrite the old world

[hollow quail]

if i publish it publicly? or does it not matter if its a private pub

[dapper knot]

doesn't matter. if you've uploaded any world you may change/update it

[hollow quail]

i mean like, if i upload it privately that way, does it auto change the public one?

[dapper knot]

if you uploaded to that ID and selected private it would probably set the public world to private. Treat anything uploaded with the same ID as the same world.

I see what you meant now. if you did what you described it would update the public world and set it to private. you can update already public worlds without the community labs 1 per week limit if thats the reason for choosing private

[hollow quail]

i had to restart the project because my sdk completely broke, until i realized i had to reimport it. but now whenever i go to upload it under the reimported SDK, it tried to go to a new project, so i obv have to change the id in order to update my already pub world, get me? i'll see what happens tho

thisis how it looks once uploaded to vrc from the vrc home

[dapper knot]

ahh yes. You should be fine in that case. just double check the world without publishing case it broke anything

[hollow quail]

it seems to just make a new world itself

[dapper knot]

Sorry. I wasn't that clear. did you detach when pasting in the ID? (not much sleep)

[hollow quail]

no, i reattached it

so im not completely sure

[dapper knot]

same here. checkout https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrcpipelinemanager and double check the ID you're using. when you go upload the world it should already contain the old title/description/thumbnail. else I'm stumped sorry (check for duplicate pipeline managers)

[hollow quail]

its fixed now

it had to be restarted

thanks!

[dapper knot]

is there a way to export a bunch of gameobjects (cubes & meshes) to a single mesh ?

[dapper knot]

I'm still learning unity workflows but my method is to export from unity using fbxeporter or GLTF into blender and join/clean up. blender is where I feel safe so it's maybe not the best method

[grand remnant]

i just took a look at unity asset store. Which one are you using ? Some are pricy :s

[dapper knot]

in unity package manager (not asset store) if you select advanced->show preview packages fbxexporter is free. my GLTF is opensouce from github

[grand remnant]

nice, ill try that. Thank you. What's GLTF ?

[dapper knot]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlTF just a really nice and modern universal format I wish all applications adopt natively one day. one that doesn't mess up armature weighting. p.s once fbxexporter is installed select all items and right click in hierarchy

[dapper knot]

I've had problems exporting packed prefabs before but else couldn't say sorry

[grand remnant]

Well at least it works for smaller groups of objects so ill just have multiple tries to figure out what it doesnt like. Thanks for the tool that will help a lot.

@hollow quail Did you know you can copy the old ID of your world and paste it into the new one?

eeh, Terri's is kinda controversial lol, and may result in your world being taken down

the Community Version one has an udon networking patch too o:

oh. first I heard about it. darn. I read most of the code out of interest and it's sending network events sensibly after balls come to rest once. not sure what the problem is

[errant beacon]

it was a whole thing lol, the community version one is based off Xiexe's fork of Terri's project though, just without the controversy/DMCA stuff

[thorny zodiac]

im use one that zuvali use its new world i made not finish it yet so dont want my world be taken down ><

just got it in public finally

1 month competely finish it because it was so much pain do then i had help so half the work goes to person to. Just house world because i was thinking making horror map dont no how to do horror stuff love scare people :3

congrats on getting the world in public! c:

ya ty im just not done with it yet tho because we find alot of unfinish parts and then its not in some ways but u can look at my new world just use my user name with out the 98 u see it

Hello was just wondering if I could speak with someone by DM from the VRC team I have a quick question and don’t really want it public, thanks! 😄 It’s about a world

[errant beacon]

#vrchat-support c:

[jaunty scroll]

It’s not really an issue it’s more a question about something

I don’t feel that’s ticket worthy

It would only take a few seconds to answer so hopefully someone from the team can just contact when they get a moment

[random owl]

Support is the only route for official correspondence

[jaunty scroll]

The support isn’t just for issues? That’s all it talks about for making a ticket

It’s not an issue

[desert python]

what is it?

[near escarp]

you can use the hello inbox

[jaunty scroll]

@near escarp I’m just wondering if I have to go through community labs to get my world public since it was public for 2 years already but had to rename it and reupload since I crossed it over from 5.6 to 2018, that’s all

It has a new world ID now so it’s private again

[near escarp]

Yeah that'd be the easiest solution

[jaunty scroll]

From what I was reading there’s a good chance it won’t ever be public again through Labs though

[random owl]

Why didn't you just upload it to the old world id?

[jaunty scroll]

The new SDK didn’t have a way to change the ID just copy the existing one

From what I saw

[random owl]

It works exact same way as in 5.6 as far I remember you just attach what id you want to upload to in the pipeline manager

[jaunty scroll]

We’ll I guess I don’t have that world ID now it’s been deleted from my manager, don’t know how I could get it now

[random owl]

Well if you already deleted the old world there's no old id to upload to

[jaunty scroll]

Oof

[desert python]

website has the id right?

[jaunty scroll]

Awh well I have the old project in 5.6 but can’t get the ID from it because I need to log into the SDK but I can’t since it’s not 2018

Anyway thanks for the help~

@near escarp any idea on how I can get the old blueprint ID? Or is it gone? :0

[desert python]

if the world is stl public. the id should be there right?

[jaunty scroll]

It’s not I deleted it when I crossed it over to 2018 and had to rename the world and reupload it with a few fixed issues

Didn’t want like 3 versions of the same world I guess but it was public for two years

[near escarp]

Does it not show up in your content manager ?

[jaunty scroll]

No I deleted it when I was having issues uploading t.t

[near escarp]

then it's gone

[desert python]

then it is probs gone

[jaunty scroll]

Alright thank you, any idea how long it can take to go public in Labs? It’s it like a set time or just whenever it happens?

Or if it happens

[desert python]

if it is popular and constently busy in labs. itll get out. if not: youll probs have to bring friends and portal hubbing to get it out

[jaunty scroll]

Alright that’s heart breaking, thanks for your time everyone

[dapper swan]

hello one question I can import a .glb file into unity?

[drifting patrol]

is the standard shader compatible for quest?

[desert python]

yes

[drifting patrol]

what may not compatible for quest, most case?

[desert python]

anything that is pink when set to the android build will also be pink for quest

[drifting patrol]

what does pink mean?

[desert python]

when shader is broken

[drifting patrol]

it appears in the world?

[desert python]

yes. so basically any shader works for worlds on quest unless it breaks in unity/turns pink

however- it is best to use mobile/android-made shaders since they are usually much more optimized

[drifting patrol]

okay, thank youu

[dusk sapphire]

that's not entirely true, a shader can look perfectly fine in unity and show up pink on quest

or in most cases for incompatible shaders, show up with double or distortion vision

but look perfectly fine in unity

[desert python]

preferibly use shaders made for android/vrc-quest

[idle jolt]

How do the chairs work? I’m trying to make a couch and bench you can sit on, but the bench makes you hover and the couch turns you 90 degrees. I don’t get it...

The bench uses the prefab, while the couch uses the actual components

[desert python]

you need to turn them 90 degrees and lower the

theres a fancy way to do chairs but i would make an invisible cube have the station component

[idle jolt]

Okay...
Also, what determines the selection? I’m trying to get it the fit the bench, but it keeps going way too far out. I have the proximity set to 1...

[drifting patrol]

is the default mobile shader good enough?

[desert python]

the shaders provided by the vrcsdk should be good

[idle jolt]

Any shader that is not custom is compatiable for quest worlds now
For standard, you can make transparent shaders, which is helpful for holograms and what not

[desert python]

@idle jolt proximity is for how close/far you are from clickinfb the chair

[idle jolt]

Oh
Then how do I make the actual selection smaller?

[desert python]

hey, lets not crash people now lol

[drifting patrol]

eh?

[idle jolt]

Quest avatars can’t use other shaders yet

[desert python]

the simplest chair method i can tell you to do is make a cube, add all of the components to make a chair. and use the cube instead of the couches

quest avatars can use very rare custom shaders iirc

[idle jolt]

I have all of the components and scripts attached to the cushions to make them seats. I copied everything the prefab had.

[desert python]

those cushins were most likely made differently and mostly not for vrc station

[idle jolt]

It has VRC Station on it...

[dusk sapphire]

the selection is based on the mesh thats part of the hierarchy of the gameobject that has the vrc station on it

[idle jolt]

That makes sense, as when I squished it the selection was only squished. But when I shrunk it, the selection didn’t. Any thoughts as to why?

[dusk sapphire]

if there is no mesh it uses the collider

[idle jolt]

Alright..,
I’ll try that. If I don’t get anything, I’ll be back here

[dusk sapphire]

personally, i prefer to keep my chairs as a separate hierarchy from the actual seat meshes

that way you also only need to just toggle the parent game object for them to turn chairs on and off

the vrc_station doesn't require any mesh renderers on it, just a box collider you define to act as the interact trigger

[idle jolt]

Okay I don’t understand what is making me hover in the air
The enter point is exactly on the chair base.

[desert python]

is the collider above it in any way?

[idle jolt]

It shouldn’t be...
Either way, it doesn’t look like I can control where the collider is...

The entry point is on the exact same Y level as the base...

[dusk sapphire]

the unfortunate thing about chairs is that your seating position is also dependent on how tall your avatar is

this can result in your avatar looking like they're in the chair or hovering above it

if you're on sdk3 the vrcprefabs database pinned in this channel has a prefab that mitigates this by adjusting based on avatar height

on sdk2, momoma's vrc starter kit has a chair prefab that lets you adjust yourself after sitting

[idle jolt]

I guess I’ll look into that...

https://booth.pm/ja/items/979837
This is it right?

[dusk sapphire]

yeah thats the one

[strong jungle]

can i use a normal picture as the preview picture of a map

[ornate turret]

you will still have to place it in the world and point the vrc camera at it

what i tend to do is import the image and turn it to a sprite in import settings

then once in upload phase, I'll drag it into scene as a 2d sprite renderer and position vrc camera at it

since it was only added during the upload phase, the image itself wont be visible in the world

just as thumbnail only

[dapper silo]

question if you upload a world for pc and you have a copy of it for quest and you added music to pc version will it upload to the quest version too

[desert python]

no

yiu have to reupload both versions

[dapper silo]

ok will do

[drifting patrol]

is free?

[lyric acorn]

Are there any good tutorials or resources on player/object collision, like how to set force/inertia of interactions and such

[errant beacon]

could make a massive sphere with the normals facing in, and change the material on that sphere with the buttons? o:

[bold ibex]

Anyone here know how to add a underwater post processing?

With a major error out of the way (thank you @random owl and @stoic fractal ), All I have to do now is animate huge land masses to simulate movement. Any tips from the veterans here are totally welcomed.

Hello! Just have a question. I recently revisited a world I was making in unity, but when I go to build & test option I just get taken to the main VRChat spawn area. What can I do to fix? Thanks!

[regal dune]

Heya, i have a little question, i'm currently using SDK2 in Unity but i want to swap to SDK3, do i just drag in the SDK3 files into the asset folder or do i have to get rid of SDK2 first? And if yes, do i just delete the files in the Assets folder?

[half bane]

Is there anygood basic world prefabs I can edit just need one for a simple avatar world

[marsh mauve]

I most likely forgot to do something, but I got a problem where my world is moving with my VR Headset, Like I look to the left and the world looks to the left, and it looks like im infinitely falling

[jaunty scroll]

@near escarp hey sorry to bother but I found the world ID for my public world that got deleted I was talking about it yesterday to you, is it possible to use that ID again and have it upload with the new fixed world version if it’s not in my content manager anymore? :0

[near escarp]

If it's deleted from the content manager i don't believe so

[jaunty scroll]

Ughhh

Is there anyway I can get it put to public again I can supply the old Id, it’s the same world just updated with some fixes and in 2018 unity

I even have the email showing it was public if needed

[near escarp]

If it's in labs people can find it through your user page, but going through labs shouldn't take that long

[jaunty scroll]

Do all worlds get made public eventually in labs or is it like selected by popularity? Sorry last question @near escarp

[near escarp]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-community-labs

[hexed pond]

Strange question. I have a sort of "team" in vrchat, and i'd like to be able to plan things with them. Is there a way to display some sort of document, or whiteboard, with some permanence? Something we could write on, and all of use see.. and it remains even after we leave? Something sourced on a website like google docs or one of the group drawing places would be fine, but i wonder if there's a way to display and interact with such a thing inside vrchat?

Like, to come back to it later, and be able to interact again

[dusk sapphire]

your best bet would be to set up a small web server that converts whatever documents your team writes on into an image, which can be loaded in vrchat on sdk2 with the vrc_panorama component that loads remote images. On SDK3 there is no equivalent yet, except for the video player, which some have used to do the same thing by encoding a calendar etc as an image in a video.

there's no real way to send information back to the server. on sdk2 some have used video players to send small arbitrary amounts of information as part of the url for video players, but you cannot do this anymore in sdk3 as you are not allowed to create and modify url's used by the video player through sdk3's scripting system.

[hexed pond]

ah..

[jolly gazelle]

Yeah, I've gotten past this. Now I'm on the "Failed to clean up previous version" spamming the console issue. Did they ever come up with a fix for that, or do I have to wait for tech support? I submitted a ticket, but I'd like to fix this here if I can, please.

[random owl]

Failed to clear previous version just means the id is borked server side either upload to a different id or wait for support to help you

[proven oasis]

could also be the servers not working properly as they've had some issues recently

[random owl]

Well yeah that's what causes the issue

[jolly gazelle]

What do you mean by using a different id?

Do you mean a different account?

[random owl]

You select your vrcworld/scene descriptor and detach the id from it

Then upload again

This will upload it into a new separate id as a separate world basically

[jolly gazelle]

Hmm.

Ok. Let me give that a shot.

[random owl]

The "Failed to clean up previous version" happens when the upload gets interrupted one way or another server side without it being properly handled during the server problems

Then next upload on the server side it's trying to delete something that doesn't actually exist and gets stuck

[jolly gazelle]

Well, shit. That seems to have worked. I still need to go see it on the server in-game, but I see nothing that indicates that won't work. Thank you again!!

I guess I can just delete the old version from the "mine" section myself?

[random owl]

Yeah the id unusable unless you get support to fix it

[copper compass]

anyone ever get this before? tried build and test earlier and didnt work, now i get this

Check the latest pin on this channel

how to make qv pen work on quest? can grab but the ink not appear

[random owl]

So what shows up if you type "t:vrc_scenedescriptor" into the hierarchy search?

[random owl]

On quest they need the special quest materials which are on the booth page

Oh hey, remember when I was getting that error for no clearly observable reason?

Of Course It Was Case Sensitivity 🤦‍♂️ l

[random owl]

That was on Linux if I remember right?

Good to know 😅

[slow orbit]

Yup. It would also happen on windows in the rare case someone has their unity temp dir on a drive with case sensitivity. 😡

I guess I'll need to add that to my guide

[drifting patrol]

is there any prefab that can play youtube video with link for sdk2?

[copper compass]

and now my textmeshpro is broken

new project time :)

[random owl]

Depending on how it's broken you should just restart unity couple times and it should be working again

[copper compass]

made a new project
just gonna reimport things

[opaque flax]

How do I make a mesh not go through objects or walls? I'm using a cone mesh for some lighting beams, but it's going through walls and stuff.

[dusk sapphire]

any video player prefab can do that, as the youtube part is handled by vrchat, prefabs just make a nice interface to access the bits vrchat provides to world creators
Popular ones for sdk2 are iwasync which you can find in momoma's starter kit, or ahzkid's video player, take a look at the vrcprefabs database in pins

[drifting patrol]

thank youu

sometimes i feel like my quest version bit laggy, but sometimes not. no pink or anything tho

[dusk sapphire]

oh, if you're on quest the sdk2 video players will not work

and on sdk3, video players cant load youtube on quest

[drifting patrol]

oh okay

any future update for that?

[dusk sapphire]

not that i'm aware of

you can still play videos on quest, they just need to be direct video links

on sdk2, you have to use unity's video player components directly, but this means no syncing

[tight charm]

I forgot what the 'black fog' thingy to transfer between areas is called, similar to what happens in the Void Club. I think it was an unity asset, or shader, or something?

[desert python]

sdk2 can technically play media on quest, its just 9x harder

there is also a way to operate quest enabled videoplayers (since the keyboard is apparrently disabled) using side quest

[dusk sapphire]

check your console for errors in case there are any errors which may have caused your last build to fail, which will result in uploading the last thing that was successfully built, which i presume was before you added all that background.

if thats not the case, check the tags on all those environment assets and make sure they're not editor only

[dusk sapphire]

nah untagged is default and thats fine

[drifting patrol]

any idea to delete this blue-ish shadow. its not like this before.

[dusk sapphire]

that looks like the reflection from skybox reflection probe

you'll want to bake a reflection probe in the room so it looks correct, or turn off reflection on the floor material

on the top right of the console do you have errors shown?

also grab 1s vrworldtoolkit https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit
and see if it spots any issues

what happens if you try to build and upload?

nothing? you get to the upload screen just fine?

grab that toolkit i linked and see if it spots anything, it checks for common issues

also those errors say it cant resolve the url the sdk connects to, so thats weird but if you say you can build and upload i dunno

also shift + windows key + s
lets you snip your screen for screenshots

[drifting patrol]

so i just need to import the ink material for qv pen quest? no need to change anything in the prefabs to make it work?

[dusk sapphire]

the instructions translated to english say

If you want to use the material in the Quest world, please use the Quest material.
If you replace the material with the Quest material, set the TrailRenderer's Width value to a value greater than 0 (e.g. 0.005).

you might have to change the material in each trail renderer in each pen object

or i suppose its easier to change the original material to match the imported material

its just using a builtin shader

[drifting patrol]

oh yeah i remember now

[leaden lion]

Anyone know if there's a good way to sync objects with physics between players? I'm particularly interested in players being able to throw/catch things, and making sure different users see objects take the same paths for sports-type things. I've tried the VRC Pickup script with position sync, but it doesn't seem to sync nearly quickly enough

[desert python]

eventually, the network update will be out and syncing would be faster, but in good practice: try having synced objects disabled and only enabled for people who enable them so theres not like 20 synced objects going between 5 players. when you can have 5 synced objects for 3/5 players

[tepid carbon]

hey anyone know how to set post processing local for each player

ive been trying to figure it out for like 2 days

[leaden lion]

@desert python so as in using a UI button to turn on object syncing? Would you just enable that option on the VRC pickup script?

[desert python]

nah, just a simple disable/enable toggle is enough

thats how you should do everything

[royal bay]

Aye, anybody who is familliar with UI components, I have a pretty hard thing I can't seem to figure out.. shoot me a DM if you're familliar with UI systems and animations.

[desert python]

@royal bay before i try to help, this sdk2 or 3?

[royal bay]

ah, sdk2. my bad.

I'm looking to set up a way to control a blend tree through a slider, essentially. I've been super stumped by it.

[desert python]

thats out of my expertise then sorry

[leaden lion]

@desert python I'm not exactly sure what you mean by disable/enable in this case. Do you mean on the entire object itself, or the Udon Behaviour script that does the position synchronization?

[desert python]

entire object, the idea is to have all sync behaviours not exist when you spawn in the world and can choose what is enabled

[leaden lion]

Ah ok I see, thanks a lot. Would it maybe also work in this case to manually send a position/velocity update on release? I was thinking that this might let different players locally see the same object path since they'd be calculating the physics independently. It'd obviously have them see that with delay, but I don't think that'd be a problem for what I'm trying to put together

[desert python]

locally might work but latency wise, it might not work but the concept you have isnt exactly bad either

[royal bay]

So... is there anybody else who's willing to help me through controlling an animation through a slider?

[leaden lion]

@desert python well since it's not immediately obviously terrible, I'll try it out. I can let you know how it goes if you're curious

[bold ibex]

Anyone know why this keeps happening when i try to build and test

i think it is something to do with the spawn point but i am not sure

[random owl]

thanks i will have a look

[marsh mauve]

I still have a issue where I can't move on Desktop in my world, can only look up and down and it looks like im infinitely falling in one spot, any help?, I most likely just forgot to add something, haven't made a world in a few months

[bold ibex]

i am confused about the ToolKit how do i use the world debugger

[grim jungle]

ohh someone please help. I have this world ive been working on, when i build and test it the world looks the same as before

so if i changed a texture or added an object the new version isnt the one coming up

[bold ibex]

did you edit it in playmode

because changes in playmode dont save

[grim jungle]

if i did i i didnt mean to. in unity

[bold ibex]

that could be it make sure the top looks liek this

[bold ibex]

i still have no idea why this is happening

[grim jungle]

it does look like that

[bold ibex]

wdym

[grim jungle]

i am not in play mode haha

[bold ibex]

👍

[grim jungle]

but i still have the issue

[bold ibex]

i dont know then

i am am also having issues i cant build and test it just takes me to my vrchat home rather than the world and i dont know why

[grim jungle]

it says script has compiler issues

[bold ibex]

like this i get it as well i dont know what is cousing it eaither

[grim jungle]

yes i have that

[bold ibex]

i have tried the VRtoolkit but i have no idea how to use it

[grim jungle]

Assets\VRCSDK\SDK2\Editor\AvatarValidation.cs(115,33): warning CS0414: The field 'AvatarValidation.CombinedComponentTypeWhiteListSdk3' is assigned but its value is never used

this is my issue

[bold ibex]

im sorry i have no idea how to fix that

[random owl]

Oh sorry I missed your ping

After importing it you should get the vrworld toolkit menu at the top bar

The from there open world debugger

And look around for the red errors

[random owl]

Latest pin on this channel has a guide on how to solve this

[grim jungle]

Assets\AllSkyFree\AllSkyFree_Menu.cs(10,4): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MenuItem' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

i get this

The pin 🙂

[grim jungle]

thx man. u deserve happiness

[bold ibex]

i imported it it is at the bottom but not on the top bar

[random owl]

Then you have compile errors need to check your console after pressing clear on if once

[random owl]

Might wanna just restart first in case unity just decided to break things

[bold ibex]

ah alright i will start from scratch but i will keep the origanal as a rafrence so i can remake it

[random owl]

I mean just restart unity

Not the project 😅

[bold ibex]

oh lmao ok i will

so i restarted

[random owl]

Looks like your sdk import is borked

I would delete and reimport

[bold ibex]

sorry

how do i do that

this is only the second one i have made so i am kinda bad at making worlds

[random owl]

Right click on something in your assets and press show in windows explorer

Then close unity

Then delete Udon folder, Udon.meta file, VRCSDK folder and VRCSDK.meta file

Reopen unity and import the latest worlds sdk in

[bold ibex]

is this right

[random owl]

Yeah go into the assets folder and then delete the folders/files listed above

Make sure unity is closed while doing it

[bold ibex]

ok done

i am opening unity then i will re install it

[random owl]

Then reopen and import the latest sdk3 worlds

Yeah

[bold ibex]

so i installed it and got errors and now the sdk dosent appear at the top bar

[random owl]

Are the errors the same

[bold ibex]

think so

[random owl]

Those errors would still tell me that the sdk was imported badly

But it doesn't really tell me why

[coarse swan]

Huhu

[bold ibex]

yeah i am not sure why this is happening i even made a new project and tested it and the same thing happend from that clip i put

[random owl]

I see a lot of assets in the video most likely one of those is breaking things

[bold ibex]

yeah but i dont think that is it i tried it with just a cube and nothing else and it still didnt work maybe it is something with ther sdk itself

[random owl]

So a project where you imported just the sdk and nothing else?

[bold ibex]

yes

nothing but the sdk and a cube

its wierd becuse avatars work fine when uploading

[random owl]

What version of the sdk are you importing?

[bold ibex]

sdk 3 world

and with that one i triend 2 and 3

[random owl]

Version number

[bold ibex]

they both didnt work

not sure just the one on the website

https://vrchat.com/home/download

[random owl]

Alright

[bold ibex]

thank you for all the help

i might come off for a bit

and have another look tomorrow

thank you tho

[random owl]

If I'm around I can have another look it's hard to type in vr

[bold ibex]

yeah it takes a while

ill keep looking tho see if i can find something

[silent tartan]

Does anybody know how to pose shit like this?

[marsh mauve]

Anyone know how to fix this? On the video it might seem like im looking around normally but the world actually moves with my Headset, I look left and the world turns left, or something like that. Im also infinitely falling

[bold ibex]

Heyyy, how can I create buttons to put different urls in the video player? My plan is to have a record cabinet with my favourite albums ready to play off youtube.

[desert python]

theres a few in sdk3 if youre using sdk3

[bold ibex]

I have no clue what Im doing, am I gonna have to learn udon stuff like this? https://youtu.be/6fqFmqBDSNU

I am sdk3

[mild canopy]

Hey, just wanted to know if its possible to have subtitles on videos through AVPRO in worlds. any pointers would help

[gleaming glade]

Will VRChat come on PSVR anytime this year maybe?

[bold ibex]

So when I go to update my world its recognized as a unpublished world when its not and I got the same ID set too. How do I fix this?

[green lagoon]

unlikely to happen as I doubt Sony would allow vrchat on the platform

[drifting patrol]

so i have this render issue. this is quest version.

[dusk sapphire]

huh, do you have LoDs on those chairs?

[drifting patrol]

i think i dont

i just testing out prefabs

and that happened

[dusk sapphire]

if its only happening to the chairs, i'd look at them and see if they have any LoDs, shaders or anything that stands out I suppose

[drifting patrol]

tell me anything ud like to see

[dusk sapphire]

whats on the actual chair object in the hierarchy, and what shader?

[drifting patrol]

all have standard shader

[dusk sapphire]

what components are on that chair?

as in the part that disappears

[drifting patrol]

same component for the other

[dusk sapphire]

and it only happens for the black seat part of the chair?

[drifting patrol]

yeah

[dusk sapphire]

no idea, same components on the root object? "Kursi Siswa"

[drifting patrol]

yeah same component, same setting

[rain shadow]

@drifting patrol Create a custom material and give it one of the included VRChat quest shaders?

[leaden sphinx]

If I update two worlds within a week from eachother, will only one show up in the "Updated Recently" tab, or both?

[desert python]

both should

[leaden sphinx]

Cool, just checking.

[gray sleet]

hello, im wanting to make a simple world for characters. I have unity hub downloaded version 2018.4.20f1 and i got the Sdk3 world downloaded and installed. can someone help me out from there?

[desert python]

make plane, then in assets-search for “vrcworld” and drag it over the plane. then go back to assets and search for “pedestal” and drag the pedestals onto the plane and add the avatar ID-which can be found in the content manager. and paste those IDs into the pedestals inspector

[gray sleet]

make plane? dm me if you want. i got 0 clue on what you just said

[desert python]

under “make object” or whatever its called. its a basic unity building block

[gray sleet]

wher eis make object

[desert python]

i can’t remember. im not at pc

it might be called “3d objects”

[gray sleet]

found it under game object. then 3d object. yep. got a plane

[desert python]

huzzah

[gray sleet]

now wut

[desert python]

assets window and search for “vrcworld”

tht is what your spawn will be

[gray sleet]

how do i search that. there is an assets tab

nvm found it

what vrcworld do i use

there are 2

nvm that. i found it. what do i do with it

[desert python]

put in scene

[gray sleet]

done. nothing happen

or its in the scene list but nothing popped up

[desert python]

thats a good sign. then back to assets-search for “pedestal” and put those on the plane as well and add any avatar IDs to them

[drifting patrol]

still not solved. is it okay to put vrc chair prefab in another prefabs?

[desert python]

also make sure that vrcworld is above the plane

[gray sleet]

yep. its on it. also what pedestal do i want. there are a lot

[desert python]

@drifting patrol as long at they are set to convex

um, idrk. i can’t remember what pedestals that sdk offers

find the most default looking 1

[drifting patrol]

where can i set to convex?

[gray sleet]

ok. ill just sellect hte first one. it looks basic. what do i do with it

[desert python]

@drifting patrol collider component

[drifting patrol]

the mother object or the child object i should set to convex?

[desert python]

@gray sleet click on them in the hierarchy and then go to inspector and there should be an “avatar ID” or something close to that

@drifting patrol child. or both if you want to walk thru the object

[gray sleet]

blueprint id?

[desert python]

yesh, that sounds right

[gray sleet]

ok so i found that. what now

[desert python]

go to the sdk control panel and copy your avatar IDs into those pedestals

[gray sleet]

how do i do that. -find the avatar id and what area of the control panel.

i can send photos if you need

[desert python]

“content manager” sorry

its the 3rd tab on the sdk panel

[gray sleet]

ok. nothing is there other than a search bar

[desert python]

ok, send picture now cus that weird lol

[gray sleet]

accept friend

[worthy stone]

I know this might sound crazy and this might sound really dumb but.... with the new song by Lil Nas x montero
, I want to try to re-create it.. I only know so much about 3-D modeling and world development because I barely got into the unity software but I know enough to at least start somewhere...

[gray sleet]

how do i add player mod jump to my world? im following a video but i cant figure it out

[desert python]

sdk 2 or 3?

[gray sleet]

but besides that. Im trying to make a mirror button. watching the video they have me add Vrc trigger. and edit that. But there is no edit options on it

[desert python]

you have to add the vrc trigger component via the inspector

[gray sleet]

yep. did that. buit still no other options. ill dm you

[gray sleet]

nvm im dumb. its under parameter objects

[drifting patrol]

im getting this warning and my baking progress is not moving. ive generated the UV tho

[primal mica]

anyone know where i can find the spreadsheet with all the prefabs? i need a url input video player and the popular pool table prefab :C

[dusk sapphire]

its in the pins in this channel

[gray sleet]

trying to add a gif to my world. i have a sprite sheet. but not sure what to do after that

[gray sleet]

anyone know how to do that?

[gray sleet]

ping me if anyone does

[cedar trout]

hello so ive added some textures to my cubes and added a skybox to my world on unity but its not showing up on vrchat any idea on what might be causing that?

[gray sleet]

How do I give spheres texures? anything i give them it seems to be somewhat misshaped / off a little

[near escarp]

which shaders are you using ?

[near escarp]

what are the uvs of the spheres ?

[gray sleet]

uvs?

[near escarp]

you might have to google what the UV of the unity sphere to see how your texture would fit on it

[gray sleet]

what is uv.

[near escarp]

https://answers.unity.com/questions/1441500/sphere-uv-distortion.html

[gray sleet]

distortion? thats not really the issue. when i put something on it, part of the white from the sphere itself pops out

[gray sleet]

is there a way to change the avatar pedestal model?

[dapper knot]

short of getting a quest just to test quest performance for worlds is there anything I can do? I've been getting positive feedback but never seeing it for myself

[dusk sapphire]

you could use the unity profiler to see how much your scene costs in terms of polygons, drawcalls and frametimes and use that as a rough indicator of performance relative to that experienced by actual quest users to have an idea of what effects further changes you make could have to expected performance I suppose.

[dapper knot]

good call. I use that as a metric to performance already. I've just always been curious what it looks like on quest. Might dive deep and create an android viewer since I have the week off or just buy a stupid quest

[dusk sapphire]

making an android viewer probably wouldnt be an accurate assessment as you'd mainly test the graphical load

[dapper knot]

true

[dusk sapphire]

unless your map is relatively light on interactivity and or udon scripts i suppose, and theres also the overhead from vrchat itself to consider

and you'd need an equivalent android device with snapdragon 835 or 865 to be on par with quest/quest2 performance

[dapper knot]

I was getting pickups confused in quest today and wanted to debug

[dusk sapphire]

oh

are your pick ups desync'd with PC ?

[dapper knot]

yes. vastly different it seemed. I decimated my world for quest

both in poly and meshes

[dusk sapphire]

yeah... about that.
on cross-platform worlds, the scene hierarchy between the PC and the Quest version needs to be 100% identical otherwise you can end up with desync issues.
Network IDs are used to sync networked components, and they are generated on map load based on the scene hierarchy, so any small differences can and will cause network IDs to mismatch.

[dapper knot]

aah I suspected. ty for confirming

[dusk sapphire]

what you can do is use empty game objects as place holders in lieu of things you removed on the quest version and vice versa

[dapper knot]

good idea

I have a semi popular world that really has nothing special but want the user experience to be cohesive and cross platform. Once the world was bug free and mostly normal I would start on a more interactive game but it's kicking my ass

[dusk sapphire]

yeah with cross-platform worlds desync is the biggest headache

[dapper knot]

I thought I could just 'yeet' static non interactive objects and be happy. ty for confirming

[dusk sapphire]

good luck

funfact: this can also happen when you update a world and you have people in the same instance who are on different versions of the world

[dapper knot]

i was with a quest user and they thought everything was a teacup :) at this point in saw what you confirmed

I'm oddly aware of different versions as I update my world probably way tooo much. people be pointing out the errors each night I join

[cedar trout]

I'm using everything on default i believe as in i haven't really changed anything much

[near escarp]

What does your unity scene look like ?

[cobalt cypress]

Is the local testing of udon worlds supposed to actually work? If I press "Build & Test" it just launches me to my homeworld

[gray sleet]

anyone know where I can find POkeball models or textures? Also anyone know if there is a way to add third person?

[gray sleet]

Also, Is there a way to Name avatar pedestals or change their Model?

[desert python]

try cgtrader or sketchfab to find the pokeballs. for 3rd person- im not sure how you would do that in sdk3

sdk2^

[gray sleet]

alright. any idea on the avatar pedestal stuff?

[desert python]

um. iirc. you can put the pedestal component on anything and it that new object will be the pedestal

but i could be completely wrong. ive never done an avatar world

[gray sleet]

iirc?

[gray sleet]

also when making my world now, I cannot tell the front of an object. not sure why. any ideas?

[split smelt]

Hiii

I for some reason can't upload my world
In play test everything works as it should and i can't figure out what the problem is

[errant beacon]

Check to see if you have multiple pipeline managers in your project? o:

[gray sleet]

who were you rreplying to?

[errant beacon]

The one directly above my post, on not being able to upload the world

[gray sleet]

ahh. rip. ok.

[split smelt]

Thanks a lot! That fixed my problem! 😄 Apparently when i moved the scene descriptor i forgot to delete the pipeline manger as well

[errant beacon]

cool! and yw c:

[errant beacon]

To clarify, what do you mean by not being able to tell the front of an object? o:

[gray sleet]

I place an object, like an avatar pedistal. The collors arrows seem to be facing the wrong way or not correctly. not facing the front or sides.

[errant beacon]

You might have switched to or from Global/Local positioning - there should be two buttons near the top of the viewport that says "Center | Local" or "Pivot | Global" or something similar, try clicking the right button of those two o:

[gray sleet]

oh. that fixed that. ty. though am i just making stuff up or for avatar pedestals was there another indicator for the front?

[errant beacon]

yw! and can't remember unfortunately lol

[gray sleet]

if you find out or remember please let me know

[gray sleet]

Anyone know how to help me with these Text Buttons? Please ping me if you can help

I can get the button to set an object active. but now idk how to get it to set it to inactive. (a toggle)

[main coral]

is there a way to make a texture tile instead of stretching in unity

cuz i cant find it

[desert python]

in the material editor, there should be a way to tile the texture

[gray sleet]

anyone know how i can make this toggle botton work? Its a text button

[gray sleet]

anyone? lol. I can click the button once to enable the object, but i cant click it again to disable the object

[bold ibex]

hello, having an issue uploading my world. it seems to work fine and starts to open vr chat then it doesn’t take me to the world I created (any suggestions) very new to unity

[near escarp]

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

Add this to your project

[marsh mauve]

Still never got a answer for this, I feel like I'm defiantly forgetting to do something but I just can't remember what: Anyone know how to fix this? On the video it might seem like im looking around normally but the world actually moves with my Headset, I look left and the world turns left, or something like that. Im also infinitely falling

[gilded totem]

Im here 🙂

[sinful folio]

So, what seems to be the problem uploading the world?

[gilded totem]

Build and publish, saying I am not trusted.

Also, when I use build and test it ask me to open and app, Un able to open it in Vrchat

[sinful folio]

Ohhhh! You need to hit New User first before uploading any content!

[gilded totem]

I have a account tho

[sinful folio]

New accounts start out as a Visitor

[gilded totem]

Log out?

[sinful folio]

You earn higher trust ranks through playing the game, and New user usually takes around 10 hours of playtime to get

[gilded totem]

Ok, what is the best way to go about this. My apologies super new

[gray sleet]

so is anyone able to help me with my button?

[gilded totem]

Which button for the mirror?

[gray sleet]

not a mirror.

[gilded totem]

You need a toggle tho?

[gray sleet]

yes

here dm me

[gilded totem]

Easy I got a video for you! 🙂

[sinful folio]

So, basically continue to play the game! Eventually, you will see a notification on the bottom of your screen saying you're allowed to upload content.

[gilded totem]

Ok 🙂 I can do that! We are working with Facebook Partners and want to make the best with VrCHat! We love the content we are able to make! ❤️ 🙂

[sinful folio]

Ohhhhhh, yeah Cookie. Let me show you the settings I use to make a toggle button, simply copy them and see if it works.

[gray sleet]

If someone knows how to fix this please help.
I have a Canvus with a Text Button on it to toggle an object. However it only toggles the object on and wont toggle it off.

[sinful folio]

I've got you buddy

[gray sleet]

dm me please.

[gilded totem]

@sinful folio Keep playing and I should be good to upload soon?

[sinful folio]

Yep!

[gilded totem]

Also, super quick. Am I really able to take my 3dMax Work and upload it to Unity?

Or just texture etc.

[desert python]

you should export the model first before importing something into unity

especially 3d max

[gilded totem]

But, I can?

😉

[desert python]

ye

[gilded totem]

duuuuuuude

Can I post pics here?

[desert python]

ye, but dont spam or anything. and if its like 3d modeling. id send them to #3d-modeling

[gilded totem]

Ok that makes sense

[desert python]

looks good

[gilded totem]

Fully understand 🙂

[calm gulch]

im having an issue with uploading my world. when i build and test it everything works fine, but when i try to upload it nothing happens? it just changes to a different camera view. im really new to unity does anyone know what i can do to fix this?

[sinful folio]

Servers are going BRRRRR rn

[near escarp]

Check the console ?

[calm gulch]

@bold ibex i have no idea what any of this means

[near escarp]

Those errors are fine
you can fix them with this #world-development message

Try making the main Unity window full size as well

[marsh mauve]

Tried working on a Fix for my issue, now my world just throws me back into the Home world when I Press Go

[sinful folio]

I was unable to upload as well, it was simply the server hiccups

And uploading is going insanely slow as well

[near escarp]

[gray sleet]

does anyone know how to make 3d text actually 3d? its just 2d

[south elk]

Hello, is it possible to add a video into the world that plays automatically to the player that joins?

[gilded totem]

Hey so it only takes 10 hours to become trusted? Trying to upload a map

[sinful folio]

Trusted isn't needed to upload worlds. You only need to achieve New User, which on average takes around 10 hours total playtime

[gilded totem]

I'm user tho

[sinful folio]

Then you should be able to upload now. What's your VRChat user name?

[gilded totem]

thecoltonjohn

[sinful folio]

You're using a steam account. You must upgrade to a VRChat account to upload content

[gilded totem]

I have a Vrchat account

I pay 9.99

[sinful folio]

VRChat+ and a VRChat account are two separate things.

[gilded totem]

How can I make this?

[sinful folio]

simply log into VRChat, go into your Settings menu, and click the "Upgrade Account" button. Follow the steps as prompted, and you'll soon be logging in with a full VRChat account, with all your friends, favorites, groups, and the ability to earn Content Uploading capability!

[gilded totem]

Bad Request: The source account is invalid for merging

Oh wait

I think it worked.

[desert python]

@south elk sdk 2 or 3?

[south elk]

mind if i DM you?

[desert python]

what sdk tho?

[south elk]

That's kinda what i wanted to tell you, idk much about creating stuff in vrchat, i just wanted to do a little project in it, i know that i need to do an sdk and unity to do it though

so i mean, either i suppose?

[desert python]

you cant do either. that will break the project

[south elk]

alright well lets say sdk 2

but i haven't started or downloaded anything yet, just wanted to know if it's possible : )

[desert python]

sdk2, i think its possible. sdk3 is def possible and easier imo to have find a good videoplayer for

[elder nymph]

anyone know if custom postprocessing shaders are still possible in vrchat, like how treehouse in the shade does it?

[desert python]

they should be

[elder nymph]

I've never done them in unity before, my shader programming experience is from shadertoy - any suggestions about where to start looking to understand how to do them?

[desert python]

uhhhh, i suggest consulting #shaders . as thatll attract smarter shader people

[gilded totem]

Any way to get this walls to stick to each other? Maybe a hot key?

[drifting patrol]

when i play on quest and grab a cylindrical object and i rotate it, suddenly it turns into a weird looking oval object. it only happened with this object tho.

[near escarp]

Your object's parent transform scales aren't uniform

[grim jungle]

So my vrchat world I’m making... the lighting looks awesome but...

It’s like my character glows... like BRIGHT

I illuminate. I turned all the lights off and the work is dark... and i still turn extremelyyyyy bright

Any fix ?

[near escarp]

Did you bake your lighting ?

[grim jungle]

how do i do or not do that?

[near escarp]

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

[grim jungle]

so... theres not a simple solution to not making my character 100 times bringter than the world:(((

[near escarp]

Did you enable post processing ?

[grim jungle]

how do i do that?

[near escarp]

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

This tool has a button to do it in a single click

[grim jungle]

im still glowing lol\

[near escarp]

Can you post screenshots from vrc and your unity scene ?

[near escarp]

alright, now your lighting setup in unity

[grim jungle]

this is what is should look like

[near escarp]

is that from another world ?

[grim jungle]

yes

[near escarp]

Ok, can you also show your lights ?

[grim jungle]

its just a firectional light. that all just 1 intensity

even when i disable all lights and the world is black

i look that bright

[near escarp]

Did you try looking down to see if it wasn't just the mirror ?

type t:light in the hierarchy search bar

[grim jungle]

dude thank you

im over here dying laughing with my friend

i realized there was a light shining up from the bottom of my world

unity at 1 am moment

[near escarp]

well at least that's an easy fix

[tired pumice]

i need some help i have a whole house built i just need to add an sdk and upload can someone tell me how to do that

[near escarp]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/creating-your-first-world

[kind tide]

So I have been developing a world the past 2 days and have been tearing my hair out today with it simply not initializing in game. It is relatively simple, I have just a directional light setup for it right now, all the models and textures are pretty simple. I have just the playermods udon graph thing on (the one that lets you jump). Its all standard shader and I'm on the latest version of the SDK 3.0

I uploaded it fine, no issues
It loads in game fine, no issues
But once it instances I get met with a black screen and am kicked back to my homeworld

I have basically slaughtered my file removing anything I doubt to find the source of the issue yet it still does the same thing over and over.
I'm grasping at straws and I cannot surmise the root of the issue, I seriously need some help/ guidance.

The only thing I currently think that could possibly be causing the issue is that I did some black magic with UDIMs when texturing but I don't see how it could cause an issue without causing any unity hiccups before

[dusk sapphire]

I'd start with grabbing 1's vrworldtoolkit if you havent, it can check for common issues that may cause this https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

your vrchat logs could also potentially contain the error indicating why you got kicked

I have a parser than can filter for errors/exceptions if you'd rather not look through it manually https://nyanpa.su/vrchatlog/

[kind tide]

ooooo many thanks!

I'm still clueless to what is going wrong. all seems well with it. guess it must be something I'm not thinking of. I can always just export the thing as a prefab and work from there I guess

https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/9h26YqYbm1Cz7DRSTph9B_fgpxSpk7fUtSigmEYBVwg/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/711009136179019868/827299916627705886/unknown.png

I just wanna get this in game

[dusk sapphire]

nothing in your logs?

[dusk sapphire]

I mean, vrchat's logs

[kind tide]

ok dumb question but how do I get the logs?

[dusk sapphire]

they're in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat

[kind tide]

should I dm them to you or would they be the kind of thing that would be ok to put here?

[dusk sapphire]

just dm to me if you'd like

[kind tide]

ok, also thank you for all your help so far. I very much appreciate it

[neat blade]

can someone help me with making gravity on this twisted corridor pls?

[near escarp]

#udon-general

[neat blade]

sorry then

[bold ibex]

i am asking once again on how to make an underwater post processing pls

[marsh pier]

how i fix dis

[dusk sapphire]

check your console for errors and see the first pin in this channel

[low quest]

Can you use custom shaders in Quest worlds?

Also I'm having an issue where even with the objects set as environment with mesh colliders, they're still not solid

Also every time I build and test, it launches in VR even tho I ticked "force non-VR"

[dusk sapphire]

you can use custom shaders in quest worlds, as long as they are single pass stereo compatible, but don't go too crazy on transparency/cutout.

if your pick up objects are using mesh colliders, make sure the mesh collider is set as convex

as for build and test, check the vrcsdk settings and make sure its pointing directly to vrchat.exe

[low quest]

No like, the world geometry isn't solid

Not working on pickups rn

And it is pointing towards vrchat.exe

[dusk sapphire]

check if the mesh collider component contains the mesh you're using as the mesh collider

[low quest]

It does

[topaz basin]

Does anybody knows the ID for the Pug? I want to make some portals in my world so everybody can check out other peoples creation. I tried it with tags, but didnt worked out

[real leaf]

Hey All, I'm a bit of a new world developer. Just a quick question, is there a limit on how big a world can be ?

[topaz basin]

There is no limit

[real leaf]

@topaz basin Cheers mate 🙂

[topaz basin]

If its a large download (lets say 300-400mb+) its recommended to mention that in the title or thumbnail so players know before hand. Not everybody can handle it. So yeah. have Fun!

[real leaf]

Ahh I see, I will keep that in mind. I have an idea that I reckons good and should give a ton of replayability. I was concerned though of file size, I will see how big it is after when im done.

[quasi tusk]

everything in the scene dissapeared after hitting ctrl z (unless I misclicked). Not sure how to undo

Luckily it was in play mode though. It started after using an old fur shader from 2018

[near escarp]

Your object is disabled ?

[solid nymph]

how do i form terrain?

[low quest]

Working on my first map :)

[short gulch]

You can either model it in blender or something, or you could go up to the game objects drop-down at the top and add Terrain

[kind tide]

oo I like it. kinda reminds me of the default bank from payday

[gray sleet]

anyone know how to have a button animate on click?

[gilded shuttle]

i need some help fixin this

i cant update my world

[cinder pagoda]

Hey there, I have a question. Can a world or an avatar designed for VRChat be uploaded on other VR games like Neos VR ?

[gray sleet]

I can get something to animate, but how can i toggle an animation or have it animat eon click

[kind tide]

I mean if you have and have rights to the model and texture I see no reason why it wouldn’t be possible. You would just have to set it up for the respective SDK to whatever game. I assume you are asking if there are any “exclusivity rules” and I’m quite certain there aren’t any unless specifically stated by the model authors that “you may only use my model in VRchat”

[glacial yew]

anyone an expert on triggers and object scripting? PM Me please

[desert python]

@glacial yew whatre you attempting to do?

[glacial yew]

buttons triggering object destory and object spawn

basic probably but cant find much on youtube

pm me if you have any experience even remotely haha

[real leaf]

@glacial yew Is the button a Game Object like a cube ? or is it one of VRC prefabs ?

[glacial yew]

cube with trigger, have followed cyans vid on object spawns and destroy, i cant seem to get it working

[real leaf]

I'll DM you

[humble kettle]

I'm trying to place an avatar in my world to share, but I can't make it to work... How do I set things, so that a player can change to a displayed avatar by interacting with it?
(I tried first by copying the settings of an Avatar Pedestal object in VRCSDK3 World but didn't work)

Here is what I've set for the avatar object

[south elk]

I have added this but it seems to not be showing up within vrchat

im new to unity also

[tawny slate]

@frigid estuary how did you make your planetairum world

[frigid estuary]

@tawny slate thats not easy to sum up in short

[tawny slate]

Do you have the video player for that world bc I’m also making a planetarium world that I’m making as well

[atomic prawn]

anyone know why this'd happen?

[desert python]

its flush with the wall. bring it out slightly and see if it helps

[atomic prawn]

yeah, i didnt have problems with it on my machine but friends did, guess floating point accuracy is different machine to machine

[tawny slate]

you can just dm me the full details

[frigid estuary]

if you have a specific question it would be much easier, making a world contains about a hundred different issues which i am not willing to write an essay about
