world-development

[vague remnant]

Aye

[fast python]

And I don't think they work on Quest either

[vague remnant]

Maybe, not sure

[spring temple]

They do I was in a world earlier that had a piano

It’s called piano lounge

It’s super cool cuz it works like a real piano

[rain shadow]

There is one you can use in desktop named Piano Simulation Room and it uses key the input layout from virtualpiano.net which has sheets for keyboard controls

[vague remnant]

Ooh!

I oughta check that out after my interview with Raising Cane's

[fast python]

Found the answer to my issue

Its not my world

It's a VRChat Quest bug

I set my home to an official VRChat world and the same issue occured

[vague remnant]

Ohhh, weird, because my build target for my world isn't Quest (Might optimize for it later, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there), but good to know

[fast python]

I mean Quest is a little unstable at the moment

Yesterday all of our avatars simultaneously broke

Case and point

[vague remnant]

Doesn't surprise me plans on getting an HTC Vive anyway

[rain shadow]

Is it specifically the avatar that has that loading issue or do you get the issue on every avatar?

[fast python]

I'll test that next

[near escarp]

Did you not get the latest update ?

[fast python]

Tested with two SDK3 avatars and one SDK2 avatar. The SDK2 avatar was fine but both SDK3 avatars lacked animations for about 30 seconds

[fast python]

Yes I'm no longer pink, but now our SDK3 avatars seem to be suffering an animation bug

[near escarp]

Yeah i think we ran into this, but couldn't find what caused it on the avatars we tried

If there's a canny for this issue i'd suggest you add your info to it

[fast python]

Roger

At first I thought it was an issue with my world

But to test I set my home to the Avatar 3.0 hub or whatever its called and sure enough the same thing happened

[vague remnant]

Could I get a DM to that world? Or would you rather I hand you my VRC name and you can inv me there when I get on?

[fast python]

Couldn't find a canny for the issue

[vague remnant]

Canny?

[near escarp]

Time to make one then !

[fast python]

This good?

[vague remnant]

Wait, what's a Canny?

Also, would I be able to use SDK2 prefabs in SDK3 worlds? My gut says no, but I'm slightly hoping for a yes?

[green lagoon]

they're not compatible in the slightest

[vague remnant]

Aww, saw some things in a google docs form that I want, but it's SDK2 only

[rain shadow]

The prefabs will be usable but if they have SDK dependent components those wont transfer

What did you see in the google doc that you wanted?

[vague remnant]

Well, Fionna's "Spin the bottle", I'm guessing it's the one with the red dot that follows the top of the bottle? And a laser pointer, confident I'll find more stuff I'll want

[rain shadow]

There is a version of it ported to udon it seems

[vague remnant]

And some things I've not found yet, like the pen system

[vague remnant]

Oh

Good to know!

[green lagoon]

they are several pens for udon

like three different ones

[vague remnant]

Oh

[random owl]

You should also be including the conditions it happens in, as in is it just the world you are using as your home or any world and if it is just the one world include the world id.

[fast python]

It's any world apparently

I tested this

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/z3y/vertex-color-pens

https://booth.pm/en/items/1555789

[vague remnant]

Color pencils :D

[green lagoon]

so ya have fun

[vague remnant]

Thanks, there's other stuff that's not VRC related I want, but not the subject for here, thanks a bunch

[sly zodiac]

has anyone else made their vrchat world into a stand alone game? mine doesn't work very well since i'm not much of a game developer, but someone who knows what they were doing could probably do it easy

i did it because my friend didn't wanna install vrchat and it gave me the idea

[kind leaf]

Sht no. Working backwards from a source with dlls is too much work. Better off starting from unity without the sdk. Import or write your own character controller and interactions. It's not rocket science but unity has plenty of plug n play assets to do it for you

[junior cloak]

I just noticed that unity force the dropdown template canvas order in layer to 30000 which create issues with the VRC cursor, anyone got an idea on how to fix that ?

God these stickers.

This.

[kind leaf]

is the a fked up particle trail?

[junior cloak]

That's the vrchat cursor not liking the 30k order in layer from the dropdown canvas

https://forum.unity.com/threads/dropdowns-order-in-layer.403492/

But as you can read here, it's hardcoded in the dropdown script code

[kind leaf]

scroll to the bottom

[junior cloak]

guess I would need to use udon to do it but I am unsure of being able to do it to be honest

I'm a lil monke

[kind leaf]

Well, i cant help you with Udon; but if you want to go with UdonSharp its a simple script.

start off by installing UdonSharp
right click in ur project create U#
name it
open in Visual Studio
at the top you'll see "using" and "using UnityEngine.UI;" without qotes
then copy that dudes script. Add it to the template, press compile and make sure its on continuous.

that script assumes the canvas is on the template, I have no idea if it is by default. I do scrolls but not drop downs in vrc

[junior cloak]

currently going for it ; had to replace print by Debug.Log so it's compatible w vrchat, i'll report back if working

[kind leaf]

oh yeah, see im so used to seeing U# when i read C# now, going back to straight c# will be a pain.

[junior cloak]

eheh

Seem to work in unity

Launching a test build

doesn't work in game :<

would've been to easy lmao

[kind leaf]

you have the uishap attached to the canvas right?

VRC Ui Shape? Also, are you using cyanEmu to test in unity?

[junior cloak]

yep / yep

Oh, the dropdown List that get created when enabling still got the order in layer to 30000

hm

[kind leaf]

found this

I just find out that if you add a Canvas to your Template game object of your Dropdowns with the wanted sorting layer it works like a charm!
Adding to this, I actually added a Canvas to the Template, checked Override Sorting, and set the Sorting Layer to the layer that you want the dropdown list to be on.```

[junior cloak]

Already got one on the template :(

[kind leaf]

and you did override sorting layer and set it to something other than default?

[junior cloak]

yup

Actually I didn't change the sorting layer.

[kind leaf]

I mean, fk Unity is full of hacky work arounds here is another Found a solution to this. I added Canvas and GraphicRaycaster components to the gameobject that has the Dropdown component. I also added Canvas component to the Template gameobject that is referenced in the Dropdown component. This Canvas uses the same settings as the Canvas that is in the gameobject that has the Dropdown component.

[junior cloak]

Let me build once again and check this one

nope

Meh, whatever tbh it is what it is

[kind leaf]

if you can find a workaround; could just use a button that toggles a set of other buttons to be visible. Now thats hacky, but when unity gives you shit to work with..

I cant rip on unity too much, its not their fault we are in 2017

2018. doesn't matter

[proud hamlet]

anyone knows why the SDK keeps loosing my login info?

[inland cave]

If you have a VPN I find it will log you out from time to time, not sure how else it happens

[cunning wolf]

Does anyone know of a decent video player for SDK2 VRChat? The one I'm currently using in my world (MunifiSense Hangout Player) constantly freezes.

[inland cave]

Does anyone know why a billboard effect would break in Unity? It works fine in the scene, but in the camera it seems like the transform information provided is completely incorrect, and when tested in VRChat the same busted result occurs. I have tried multiple implementations and they all break in the camera preview.

EDIT - Solved by disabling batching!

[proud hamlet]

nope not on a vpn

[alpine spoke]

Anyone get "AudioSampleProvider buffer overflow." issues withUSharpVideo? It causes lag spikes in my world and I'm not sure what the issue is.

[vapid surge]

I'm getting the exact same error, clean project, only latest vrcsdk added. .vrcw file got successfuly build. What was the solution?

[bold ibex]

Alright. So is there some sort of guide for making worlds?

[rain shadow]

If you go Edit>Project Settings>Player what is the company name/product name

[leaden hazel]

There are some tutorials that show you a full walk through on YouTube

[bold ibex]

Alright.

Cheers mate.

[vapid surge]

DefaultCompany and testworld

[weary root]

A little while ago I made this world using an older SDK; could someone help me port it to a newer SDK so I can make it quest compatible? https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_0f748b2c-d455-448e-9c50-0bf2e9d65611

[rain shadow]

@vapid surge If you go to AppData\Local\Temp\DefaultCompany\testworld that should be where it's storing the built world data

[vapid surge]

the vrcw file is there and vrctoolkit also said the build was successful

[rain shadow]

Does the path to that folder have any special characters in it?

[vapid surge]

Nope

/tmp/DefaultCompany/testworld

[rain shadow]

What about before that? like computer name and such

[vapid surge]

that's not part of the path 🙂

btw, this must be an issue introduced with one of the latest versions of the SDK, there was no issue about half a year ago

[rain shadow]

I would guess Unity/VRCSDK is expecting a windows-esque path

[vapid surge]

That'd be weird. The last SDK I know which worked was 2021.02.23.11.40

[rain shadow]

Do you have another project where it works?

[vapid surge]

The older SDKs, yeah

but the current version of UdonSharp requires the newer VRCSDK, so unless I'm also using an older version of UdonSharp, I kinda have to get this resolved 🙂

[weary root]

specifically from the 2017 2.0 sdk to the 2018 2.0 sdk

following the guide on the docs got me many errors 😅

[rain shadow]

@vapid surge Yeah apologies, wasn't able to find an obvious solution.

[vapid surge]

No problem. Usually I'd try to debug it, but I couldn't even find that error message in the VRCSDK source code

So no way for me to backtrace where exactly it's coming from

[rain shadow]

I need to sleep now. but hopefully 1 will be able to find a solution as they have a lot of knowledge about the SDK as far as I know that might help

[vapid surge]

sleep well! 🙂

[cold hound]

How do people create real time lighting from a VideoPlayer i'm trying with Realtime Emisson but it's not working

[proven tendon]

are non-euclidian worlds possible? as in portal+camera+lighting tricks

[desert python]

ye

itd be wacky and require a lot of brain power to make it look legit, but its possible

[desert python]

i believe you need to manually update GI in game still even if its realtime and you have the correct lightprobing

[cold hound]

Then i don't know how to do that thing i'll check on that

[desert python]

merlin has a good example for it somewhere. idk where but i used his for my stuff and it seems legit

[cold hound]

i'm trying to do it with that videoplayer

but i'm not able haha

just want some real time light

[desert python]

i am p sure gi updating is still required in some form, but dont quote me, im a 100% baked GI user most of the time

[copper compass]

hihi, anyone know how to fix an issue with Ambient Occlusion that makes you see it through obstacles? i can see things through the mirror and through certain objects i can see the AO "shadows"

[desert python]

thats pretty common, i feel like someone fixed it be using render queue

[leaden hazel]

This world features a Portal https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_91805f98-fd56-497a-bf7e-772e434efb84

[glacial pond]

Yeah I really need to learn how to do that in one of my worlds. Sadly no one has made a VRchat-specific tutorial for it that I have found

[leaden hazel]

Its sort of a combination of several things

[glacial pond]

Those that know seem to want their secrets :p

[leaden hazel]

You need a teleport, and then something similar to a mirror but with the 'target' not facing straight back

[glacial pond]

Yeah I can deal with a teleport I already have relative teleporting working correctly on my very fake camera based portals. What eludes me is the seamless depth effect

[leaden hazel]

You may need to learn the arcane arts of shader lang

[glacial pond]

I don’t know why the official VRChat mirror prefab can’t just have a rotational and positional destination offset on it

[leaden hazel]

It doesn't quite work like that, its relative the player's own vision

If you look up how to world portals in unity, that might set you on the right path

The main tricky bit is needing to make sure there are two textures created for the two different eyes

[glacial pond]

I know enough about mirrors to know a mirror is just a portal that has a view from its own reference point. And a negative scale on one axis. Or to be more specific if you solve general portal rendering, mirrors are a trivial general case

[leaden hazel]

Take a look at the mirror's shader code

[glacial pond]

I wish we were allowed to mod it

[glacial pond]

Can udon even get a players current IPD

[leaden hazel]

No, but the graphics system can

[glacial pond]

I feel like it’s one of those things that could be solved in multiple ways and the way I end up doing will be some stupid jank way when a more native method works

[leaden hazel]

Shader lang does crazy power stupid stuff if you know how

See the treehouse world

[glacial pond]

I do not know it

[leaden hazel]

Thankfully, with 2019, we'll finally have shader graph

[glacial pond]

I wasted many decades and resources learning the wrong languages

If only I was more interested in shaders instead of C++

I’d trade the knowledge

[leaden hazel]

Shaders are C

[glacial pond]

I know

Well, no, they are close to C#

[leaden hazel]

All C-based languages are interchangable

[glacial pond]

Even I don’t know regular C

Eeeeeeeeeh.

[leaden hazel]

So if you know how to { } you'll be able to feel your way through

[glacial pond]

I do

[leaden hazel]

Its more learning the keywords

and the library in question

[glacial pond]

And what types of things you can’t do anymore because you’re living on a millisecond of a GPU

[leaden hazel]

Basically its all maths

[glacial pond]

I’m fine with math. I’m not good at optimization

[leaden hazel]

The code that enables the mirror is... two lines

The whole mirror shader is 74 lines long, and about 15% of that is { } and empty lines

Infact.. huh.

[glacial pond]

Maybe I am misunderstanding how the mirror script works but I really do think it would be trivial to add a transform offset to the mirror that would basically let it act like a portal

Sadly we can’t edit it, the code is stripped away and replaced with legit copies

I’m gonna try to edit it in the editor anyway and see if it’s feasable

[leaden hazel]

Give me 15 minutes and I'll have something to show you

[glacial pond]

Lol, called it

[leaden hazel]

I'm just trying to work out the maths

[viscid belfry]

Quick question: Is it possible to test a world in Unity using the Oculus Quest 2, or can you only test in desktop mode until it is uploaded?

[near escarp]

What are you trying to test ?

[civic ibex]

You'd have to upload it, but you can keep it private.

[kindred bramble]

Anybody have any idea as to where I could find a decent city skybox where the city is below you like balcony style? I've seen a lot of maps using similar ones so I'm assuming its just somewhere I haven't checked yet.

[random owl]

Did you get this solved?

[vapid surge]

I did not

Any help would be welcomed

[random owl]

Try changing the DefaultCompany to be all lower case

[vapid surge]

Didn't help

[random owl]

In your picture it looks like you are running some Linux distro?

[vapid surge]

Yeah, that's right

[random owl]

Let me just check a few things and DM you after for some more debugging

[vapid surge]

Alright, I'll stand by

[cedar fjord]

i'm having an issue with the mirror in my world. so for some reasons, my particles are not visible in the mirror if they are in floor is behind it, and idk why, i've been messing with render queues, with the layers etc. but i can't find a way how to make the particles appear normally in the mirror. the floor is just standard shader.

anyone that knows how to fix this?

[leaden hazel]

@glacial pond I am bad at maths, and its late and I need to go to bed, but here's a broken but half functional thing you were talking about, two mirrors, repurposed as 'portals'. Very little code involved to make those edits so far. If I new proper 3D co-ordinate maths I'd probably have this solved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvXch7Bso7Q

Stereo cameras too so they would in theory display correctly in VR but I didn't have time to test.

[vague remnant]

So if my understanding is correct, static objects with colliders can't be passed through?

[leaden hazel]

Well.. they'd display the wrong image... correctly. If you know what I mean. Offset per eye. :P

[leaden hazel]

Anything with a collider not set to trigger mode can't be passed through

Static relates to other aspects

[vague remnant]

Unless it has Rigidbody, learned this the hard way, wanted to be able to push a cube around with my body, y'know?

[leaden hazel]

@vague remnant Static is actually broken down in to these aspects. Nothing you'll note relates to collisions

[vague remnant]

Ah, so that part with the nothing and whatnot is what it can and can't collide with?

But static like doesn't move period

[leaden hazel]

... I forget which one of these is the one that prevents movement though.

[vague remnant]

Rigidbody, if that component isn't in an object/prefab, then it won't move

Notably the Udon floor

[leaden hazel]

Correct, you need to set a few options to be able to push things

[vague remnant]

That's gonna be real complicated for me, will have to inquire later, for now, I think your situation should be answered first, or you cool with moving to DMs?

Dinner first (Yummy)

[leaden hazel]

I'm about to sleep so this is a quick pointer to get you going.

Is Kinematic -> No, Probably use gravity or it will float away~, Collisions Detection, try the different Continuous modes. If its set discrete, eventually the object will 'sleep' and need code to wake it back up again before it will pay attention to forces.

Good luck and enjoy dinner! ;)

[vague remnant]

Thanks

Good luck to you too

[harsh wagon]

I tested my world today, for multiple users for the firsf time

for some reason it's fine until a point

then I get 12 fps consistently

exactly 12

[viscid belfry]

Good to know, thank you! If not I would have spent the entire day tomorrow trying to figure it out

[silent furnace]

It's very nice

[pliant dragon]

So I uploaded my world, it worked fine in the build test and I was able to view it on the VRChat website, but when I go in game I cannot find it attached to my profile nor can anyone else. I also looked it up and it still didn't show up. Then I invited myself to my world through the website. It started to load me, then as soon as it got to the part where it would download the world, it kicked me back to my homeworld. I don't know what to do. I origionally made it in 2018.4.36f1 and I read that it was the wrong version so I reloaded it in the correct version (2018.4.20f1) and reuploaded it. It still didn't show up. Made in SDK3

[rain shadow]

Might need to detach the ID and upload again

[pliant dragon]

Ok I will figure out how to do that and upload it

[rain shadow]

On the world descriptor pipeline manager you can find the ID and reset it there

[pliant dragon]

Do you mean the scene descriptor?

[rain shadow]

Yeah

[dusty sequoia]

go into play mode and check the console, i assume there are either script errors, or c# scripts attached to game objects that should not be there, causing the world to not load.

if you're using prefabs from the unity store, check each of the objects or delete unused or unneeded scripts.

[pliant dragon]

There is my scene descriptor, just didn't know what to change

[rain shadow]

Click on the pipeline manager to expand it

[dusty sequoia]

there is a game object called vrcworld

[pliant dragon]

Ok, I only got the skybox from the asset store and everything else was pretty much imported from blender

[dusty sequoia]

drag that in and remove that scene descriptor

[pliant dragon]

ok

[pliant dragon]

So that would be the world name (in this case, Nuke's Space)?

[pliant dragon]

I found it, thank you!

[dusty sequoia]

no, you use the vrcworld prefab as the spawn location. just put that whereever you want to spawn.

then you should be able to build the world

[rain shadow]

They are already able to build the world, that is not the issue

[pliant dragon]

Oh was that if I couldn't build and run is what he is describing?

I have a working spawn point. I used an empty object

[rain shadow]

The issue you have is you built and uploaded a version beyond what VRChat supports on the current live version and you can't load into that world because of it

You can't delete uploaded versions individually so you need to delete the world or upload to a new ID

[pliant dragon]

oh okay

So now that I detached the ID I can just reupload?

[rain shadow]

Yeah

[pliant dragon]

Should I delete the old one that is in content manager?

[rain shadow]

Not just yet

See if the new ID fixes the issue for you

[pliant dragon]

okay

Just one more question, how do I get the world image working? If you couldn't tell, this is my first world 😂

[rain shadow]

Have you done an avatar before? it's pretty much identical

[pliant dragon]

I have not

[rain shadow]

Ah, when the scene goes into play mode on that build and publish screen a gameobject named VRCCam gets added to your scene

Whatever that camera sees is what becomes the world image

[pliant dragon]

Oh sweet

I don't know what's going on now, but it isn't doing anything when I press upload

[rain shadow]

Do you have any errors in console ?

[kind leaf]

Well look at that. Wtf is sdk2 stuff doing in ur sdk3 world? That'll fk ur stuff up.

[pliant dragon]

I'm not sure. I was pretty sure I only put the sdk3 stuff in

[random owl]

That's normal since the code base is still shared by big parts

You have multiple pipeline managers in the scene

Search for "t:pipelinemanager" in the hierarchy and remove the ones not with the Scene Descriptor

[pliant dragon]

Ok done

[pliant dragon]

Ahh now how do I enable AndroidPlayer?

I think I got it nevermind

[tepid tangle]

how do i setup a collider toggle in 2.0 kdngvsdfjgnfg

[unkempt turtle]

you make your typical toggle trigger, but instead of a solid object you put in the collider object

so thats your trigger (for me its an interact trigger that fires locally)

my collider in this case is just a simple box collider

and this is how they both look like on the field next to each other

@tepid tangle

[unkempt turtle]

@elfin rover thats how you make a pickupable mirror in SDK2 (and 3 too, but im too lazy to open that project now too lmao)

[elfin rover]

Why dont these prefabs work. Im running world in test mode. And these 2 prefabs are not working...

i do have standard assets that it recommended

[leaden hazel]

So it's there in test, you made no changes, uploaded and its gone? I've never seen that one before...

[elfin rover]

no

i was running it in testing

i havent uploaded it yet

shouldnt they work in test mode?

[leaden hazel]

I'm confused, to me there are three states, in editor testing. Build and test mode where you run in a local copy of the world loaded by your client, and uploaded, which should be the same, your files are pulled from the server though instead.

[elfin rover]

as in world testing

client

when u press the build & test button

[leaden hazel]

Okay, so, what changed between those two screenshots?

[elfin rover]

those were taken at the same time on the same world test

i've done nothing but put the prefabs of them into the world

in the editor when i move the pens they draw fine

[leaden hazel]

Oh, do you mean with two clients running at the same time?

[elfin rover]

no one client

sdk2

im using qpens sdk 2 version

and the virtualnewkeyboard

both by the same person

wait no

ones by another person

[leaden hazel]

Is the keyboard also sdk2 rated?

[elfin rover]

yes

i could just remove those 2

since this isnt going to a public world

i might do that

remove the 2

anything u can recommend as a fun prefab

like something to do

like a game or something

[glad cargo]

so in udon 3.0, how can we make pickable stuff global?
we tried searching for Object Sync, but it's unsearchable anymore

[rain shadow]

It should be there so either you have an outdated SDK version or have compile errors

I would guess most likely errors, if you check the unity console you should see what's causing issues in your project

[glad cargo]

ohh yeaa it's the compile error, but directing it to the udon files

aren't those important? But unity is wanting it deleted

[rain shadow]

What do the errors say

[glad cargo]

okiii hold on

[elfin rover]

well i have replaced it

i got working pens

from vrc starter kit on booth by virtualboy

it came with a nice set of stuff

[glad cargo]

It works now, thank youuuuuuuu

[elfin rover]

no i dont need a keyboard really

it was only there for non native speaker friends

[glad cargo]

does anyone know where to get the iwasSyncVideo v2.4sk

[bold ibex]

is it normal that the 2019 version does not work with the sdk3?

[leaden hazel]

Check the bug report thing?

Might be a good idea to discuss that in the beta channel

[bold ibex]

ok thx

I was wrong, I entered the SDK3 not in beta.

[spark vigil]

i have a problem with my world

[cold hound]

What problem?

[spark vigil]

I published it and everytime I tried to go into it I would get sent right back to the world I was in

[spark vigil]

idk tbh

[cold hound]

The world is crashing

Try checking with this https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

[thorn berry]

Hellow guys my friend has a problem with his world: he wanted to add something to his world but as soon as he 'builds and tests' it the stuff he added was not there, now he published it and the stuff is still not there. He also changed the world ID to the current version, which also didn't help.

[rain shadow]

He would have errors preventing the build from completing

Would have to check the unity console for errors and remove anything that's causing issues

[thorn berry]

he doesn't really understand those errors, could u help?

[rain shadow]

He needs to delete any scripts related to that PyroParticle asset

It says in the error the folder location

[thorn berry]

good, thanks, he'll try it.

[spark vigil]

Yea

[cold hound]

Try with this

[vague remnant]

Yeah, I was trying out the PyroParticles, doesn’t really fit the bill for what I wanted, they weren’t as good as I could have hoped, not as modifiable as I wanted, found Unity’s fire particles were the best I could get, wanted purple flames, so… yeah

[eternal summit]

i am looking for the 8ball assests and etc for vrc

anyone know or have where it is

link wise

[rain shadow]

https://github.com/FairlySadPanda/vrcbce/releases/tag/1.2.0

[eternal summit]

do download the source code zip and the other thing as well

?

[rain shadow]

You would want the unity package

[dusk summit]

go to releases then download the latest unitypackage

[eternal summit]

so i have it in

but when test and build its not there on the floor

[rain shadow]

Are you using SDK3?

[eternal summit]

yes

[rain shadow]

Do you have errors in the unity console?

[dusk summit]

make sure it's not using an older build when testing

[dusk summit]

do you have anything interacting with it ? have udonsharp? have TMP? have a global toggle for it?

[rain shadow]

TMP shouldn't be an issue

@eternal summit Make sure you have the latest version of this also https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/releases/tag/v0.20.0

[eternal summit]

no not yet

Put that in

Thank you sooo much 😭

It worked

Thank you thank you 😭

another favour

can anyone direct me to a good video player asset]

the one i have in my other world is ok but i have seen better, any recomendations would be greatly appreciated

[dusk summit]

what player do you have ?

Use either Merlin's U# video player or ArchitechTv

(now called ProTV by ArchiTechAnon)

[vague remnant]

Sooooo many good ideas for when I get the motivation to build my own world

Also, there's this pool table I'm looking at with the text terri.tech/ht8b, mean anything to anyone?

[errant beacon]

would personally recommend using FairlySadPanda's fork of the pool table rather than Harry's

https://github.com/FairlySadPanda/vrcbce/releases/tag/1.2.0

[vague remnant]

I think I've seen that one in "Just B Club", and whenever I turn, the audio moves with it, and I like the lights on this one too

[vague remnant]

Just to sate my curiosity, why Fairly's over Harry's?

[tepid tangle]

i made an NPC thats supposed to give you a tour in my world, its built off one of my avatars, and anytime the animation plays, it forces it to play at 0,0,0 in the world, can anyone help?

[vague remnant]

Would love to see it when it gets fixed :O

[tepid tangle]

omg yess ive been making so many dump npcs this is the first motion capture test but gahhhh it keeps spawning at 0,0,0 T_T

i changed the location of the value animator.root.T to where i want but whenever i playtest it, it keeps going back there, despite it being in the area i want whenever i preview the animation

[vague remnant]

Some part of me wants to suggest a workaround, like let it spawn at 0,0,0 and then input something that would teleport the NPC to the right location? But I bet you tried that already

[tepid tangle]

here im awful at explaining heres a video

[vague remnant]

Or aren't sure how to.... I never animated before, I'm new to the whole Unity building thing myself...

[tepid tangle]

its using sdk 2.0 too so i dont think i could code something in udon for it T_T

[vague remnant]

Oh, I'm using SDK3, so I'm not really of much help.... sorry....

[tepid tangle]

no ur fine haha

if anyone knows how to fix this tho pls ping me

[vague remnant]

I wish you the best of luck though

[tepid tangle]

it does this to any avatar listed as humanoid ive noticed, but if its set to generic, then the animation doesnt work whatsoever X_X

[vague remnant]

Well, I've got my fingers crossed that it gets sorted

[mild spade]

You could try putting the entire avatar inside a empty gameobject (so it is the parent) then move the parent gameobject to the location you want it to be. (to compensate the offset)

[vague remnant]

Trying to color a cube that's using the same material, but I need one to be white, and one red, I'm trying to do something so I know how to make invisible walls of some type, could anyone help me out with that?

Nevermind, used a cube with different materials (colored both cubes all the same...)

[vague remnant]

My bad ^^'

[kind leaf]

Did you figure out your invisible wall?
if not, play with public override void interact(){ Redenderer.enabled = false;}
or for a toggle
public override void interact(){ Redenderer.enabled = !Renderer.enabled;}
this keeps the collider intact but hides the visible wall.

[vague remnant]

Yes, it's not exactly ideal, but using objects will work for what I need

Just need lighting support now

[late ruin]

is there a way to make screens louder?

[vague remnant]

Screens louder?

Turn their volume up? Otherwise, I think they just rely on a 2D audio space, which essentially makes them full volume no matter where you are, like YouTube in your web browser, or background music

[kind leaf]

in the spartialized settings turn the gain up. its 10 by default.

[vague remnant]

Oh, that too

[silent night]

What is the player hitbox size again?

2M tall by 1M wide?

[kind leaf]

roughly

it obviously varies but those are the settings i use for scale.

[desert python]

whats the tallest stair step a player can climb without jumping

has anyone measured this yet lol

[misty timber]

is there still absolutely no way to test out quest worlds?

[vagrant shale]

I think you can use Cyanemu while the build target is set to Android but I'm not sure if it's actually testing the Android build.

Any ideas on creating transparent terrain? I've tried some shaders I found online but using a material with those shaders on my terrain makes the whole surface almost entirely transparent and painting textures on it without any transparency doesn't increase the opacity at all.

[green lagoon]

that wouldn't be texting me Android version as you're still fundamentally running Windows in the unity editor

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, thought that might be the case. It's still nice to be able to test without having to change your build target but testing android specific overrides on a PC probably isn't possible unless there's an Android emulator that runs in Unity.

[green lagoon]

and even then that wouldn't be a great test of the quest as you would have more cpu than the quest

[spring temple]

I just wanna drop this in here cuz I think this looks like a very cool asset for unity I dunno if it can be used for vrchat, buuut it looks like it can basically it brings full blown 3D modeling to unity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVfOTfoBmtk

[kind leaf]

thats a cool asset, we kind of have that with probuilder already, our version is lacking but it gets better in 2019-21. Plus, most people just know the basics and don't play around with advanced techniques. But yeah, any tool that makes it easier is worth a go.

[spring temple]

ohh I heard of probuilder someone just told me it was very basic and only could prototype levels this one looks like it can prototype and make bull blown levels ima check out probuilder now thx

[kind leaf]

you wont find high detail objects like realistic rocks or trees being made in probuilder, but low poly or 98% of any vr social world can be made using nothing but probuilder.

[spring temple]

ahh icic that's very cool

[versed cargo]

do you think you can help me with this problem im trying to upload fr quest but the event handler is preventing it but i need them for toggles like the mirrors and pickups. its sdk 2 idk if that matters or not. heres a ss:

[kind leaf]

did you try autofix

[versed cargo]

yea the event handlers cant be deleted without the toggles being deleted

[viscid belfry]

Does anyone know roughly how much playtime I require to upload worlds? Seem to find inconsistent answers online. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[versed cargo]

once you get new user which i believe you can link your account to vrchat and have maybe 200 or so hours although its hard to tell

[viscid belfry]

Got it. 200 hours is an ungodly amount of time😔

[tropic smelt]

You definitely don't need anywhere near 200 hours to be new user

[versed cargo]

uh ig thats more for user huh

[tropic smelt]

If you just play, make friends, world hop, you'll get it in no time

[versed cargo]

tbh i dont completly remeber its been a long time

[tropic smelt]

And no, even that is a gross overestimation

[versed cargo]

yea fs

[tropic smelt]

For user

[viscid belfry]

It seems to be estimates. It seems the average is 20-40 hours. I wish it was more transparent. My job is requiring to make a world and I wish I knew the time to speed up the process. Its a bit of a pain having to keep playing without knowing a good estimate

[versed cargo]

hmm someone really needs to make a chart lmao

[tropic smelt]

There's far too many unknown variables to bother

[viscid belfry]

I'm surprised the devs have not made this more clear. I dont blame em. Make the time a blur and you just keep playing I suppose.

[tropic smelt]

But if you purchase vrchat plus it'll boost your rank slightly

Iirc it's enough to get you to new user from visitor

[viscid belfry]

Oh so increasing in rank unlocks dev mode?

[kind leaf]

0 playtime... just get the paid version

woops bit late

[harsh wagon]

the highest you can get rank-wise is legendary user

[viscid belfry]

I just want to unlock upload privileges honestl6

[tropic smelt]

Yeah, vrc plus will do that for you

If it's for your job it's probably a worthwhile expense

[harsh wagon]

I think I'm legendary user actually, someone with a modded client told me

[kind leaf]

you dont have to keep it, rank isnt removed. pay for 1 month

[tropic smelt]

^

[harsh wagon]

I don't know how to check non-visible ranks

[viscid belfry]

I certainly think it's worth a try. I appreciate the advice.

[tropic smelt]

Np

[versed cargo]

if anything im still a vet

ask someone who can fly or is flexing the ripping skills lmao

[harsh wagon]

So, what would be the best way to make a waterslide in blender? I thought I could use a curve and then extrude it, but blender doesn't have an option to keep curves upright so the curve twists

[viscid belfry]

So u got vet with a purchase from your current rank? Stopped paying and kept the privilages?

[harsh wagon]

buying VRC+ isn't enough to get you to veteran

Veteran is hundreds of hours

[versed cargo]

no i didnt pay but you wont derank unless you get banned i think

[viscid belfry]

I dont need vet though unless u can only be vet to upload

[versed cargo]

ye you need god amount of hours and playtime

[kind leaf]

same concept. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBNYAiC9ib8

[harsh wagon]

Just looked it up, veteran is identical to trusted

[versed cargo]

tbh just play for a whole day or two it i may appear i got user on an old account in a week so shouldn't be that hard

[harsh wagon]

legendary is given to veteran users who did a lot of uploading before 2019

[kind leaf]

wait, they changed the rank structure?

[versed cargo]

oh then saddly im not special

[harsh wagon]

veteran and legendary are hidden ranks

[kind leaf]

oh i want those

im jelly

[harsh wagon]

legendary rank is immune from deranking, so you can never go below legendary

and then the rank above legendary is VRChat team

[versed cargo]

ima need someone to check tat for me i may have a guy

[viscid belfry]

Oh wow so you can de rank? Interesting

[versed cargo]

ye definitely but all you gotta do is follow the rule easy enough

[harsh wagon]

if enough people mute/kick/block you, yes

[kind leaf]

its interesting that the abbreviation for adult playgrounds is instantly deleted being a staple of vrchat. But yeah, graphical adult rooms would be a bad call for keeping rank.

[harsh wagon]

I tried the curve modifier before, but it didn't really work for me and it's not super efficient

[viscid belfry]

Alright guys thank you so much for your help. Time to go in and make some noise. Feel free to add me if you like. I really appreciate yall!

[kind leaf]

I cant think of anything more efficient than drawing a curved line and having a section of the slide follow it. It's an OCD symmetrical wet dream.

[versed cargo]

so ab the event triggers

[vague remnant]

So this happened after installing VRWorld ToolKit... looks like a self-conflict to me

[harsh wagon]

Any reason the object isn't actually following the curve?

it's way off

[random owl]

Did you import multiple versions of it?

[vague remnant]

No

[random owl]

Is that the only error you have?

If that happened by just correctly importing the latest release I would be having a lot more people complaining about it

You could also try searching for BuildChecksManager in your Assets and seeing if it appears in the project multiple times

[bold ibex]

Is there a way to delete a world you made without going through the unity SDK?

[desert python]

ye, the website im pretty sure has the option

[vague remnant]

No, I have (had) 227 more

[random owl]

Can you show more of the errors?

[vague remnant]

Need to reinstall the Toolkit

[random owl]

Show more from the top?

[vague remnant]

Me and @kind leaf have a theory, we're thinking about trying it

[random owl]

Theory? Also could you select an error and show the full trace for the error for any of those?

[vague remnant]

shrugs And sure, I guess

[limber cradle]

should importing the newest version of SDK3 add the builtin layers (PlayerLocal, etc.)? i'm not seeing them there now

[vague remnant]

Errors are gone

[random owl]

What happened?

[random owl]

You need to set up them from the SDK control panel

[vague remnant]

Our theory was right, the Github folder thing was my enemy, I'm too noob-ish to know how to import github folder structures, so the git is fine, it's user error

[limber cradle]

ahhh right i remember now

thanks

[random owl]

Gotcha, good that it was resolved

[turbid lantern]

so names Toko i'm just wondering how long a person has to play vrchat to be able to upload a world because i just spent 5 hours on this world and got everything set up and it says you need to play longer i have in total already 150 hours on the game how much more time will it take.

@narrow violet can you maybe anwser my question since your a mod and all

😦

[proven glade]

there is no specific amount, once you get like user rank you should be fine

Also I have a question of my own, where the hell is that prefab that makes your voice louder for everyone else in a area, I want it for a stage microphone

[turbid lantern]

how does one get this rank fast

[proven glade]

no way to get it fast besides playing the game

[turbid lantern]

i am going to go dedicate my life to this game i made this world for me and my fiance and i will get it upload soon has i can.

[harsh wagon]

I'm trying to figure out physics materials

I've got a water slide and it's not very steep, but I want objects to run down the slide to go faster than they currently are

[vague remnant]

I think you want either the water or ice material

Whichever exists

[harsh wagon]

You have to make physics materials yourself

I've turned friction all the way down but it doesn't seem to have done much

[kind leaf]

unity actually comes with predefined physics materials. more if you have pro. you can certainly make them yourself if you need to.

[harsh wagon]

Huh, didn't know

I'm having larger issue right now though

the object I want to interact with the waterslide just falls straight through

if I set the collider to convex it doesn't have physics

[kind leaf]

and one of the objects has a rigidbody?

[harsh wagon]

The slide doesn't because that's not meant to move

but the stuff going down the slide does

[kind leaf]

silly, but you made sure you didnt accidentally check is trigger?

[harsh wagon]

nope

wait, I mean

nope, there aren't any triggers

Would the shape of the object be an issue at all?

It's a pool ring

[harsh wagon]

I've also tried parenting the mesh to a separate invisible mesh that has the physics stuff on it, that didn't work either

[kind leaf]

the slide prob cant be convex but the objects falling should. the slide if its got sides prob has to be mesh. and the physics mat should be on the slide

[harsh wagon]

That's how it's set up

but if I set the pool ring to convex, it doesn't move at all

[kind leaf]

that should stop it from moving unless its collider is inside the slides

shouldnt

[harsh wagon]

It's technically inside the slide

in the sense that the walls of the slide are around it

but it's not touching

[kind leaf]

try convex on the slide them. mesh collider should be perfect but make sure the collider component is expanded and the slide is selected, you can see the bounds of the slide

[harsh wagon]

the slide being convex just makes the ring fly off

the problem is that it spirals under itself

[kind leaf]

mesh collider makes the mesh the collider, so a U is a U but convex makes the U a O, the shape shouldnt really matter unless there is something weird about the collider. Even a spiral should be fine. You should easily be able to see the problem when inspecting the slide with the collider expanded.

[harsh wagon]

Hmm, I might have just fixed it but I can't be too sure

let me test it

it works in play mode, but I'm not sure about in-game

[kind leaf]

so, what did you do? (it's good practice to provide your fix, keeps that search bar relevant )

[harsh wagon]

I just removed all the physics components and then put them back, with the pool ring set to convex

it was just one of those things where it works the second time

[kind leaf]

lol go figure

[harsh wagon]

Now to figure out how to make this pool ring move at a half-decent speed

I can't make the slide any steeper because the map only has so much vertical space

[kind leaf]

that will be in the rigidbody of the ring, play with mass maybe. But do note that the physics wll be smoother in game. A throw like i have a broken wrist in emu.

[harsh wagon]

I just don't want to crank the mass and break something

[kind leaf]

Its just a number, ctrl Z fixes most things. Its not like youll break unity. No Regrets!

[bold ibex]

What do I do-?

[raven sonnet]

I'm making pickup props but didn't work

anything wrong?

[narrow violet]

?upload

[odd rover]

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

[narrow violet]

@turbid lantern this is all what i know

[bold ibex]

Where do you guys get your furniture models?

I kinda need some furniture models for a VRC house i'm making

[kind leaf]

did you try the asset store?
here is a list of only 2018 supported free models https://assetstore.unity.com/?version=2018&free=true&q=furniture&orderBy=1

You also do not have to go to the website to get models; you can click on the asset store tab in Unity itself, search, apply the 2018 and free filters and go on a free shopping spree.

[bold ibex]

and um another thing

Should i use blender to make this or Unity?

[kind leaf]

whatever you are cumfy with

If you use Unity I advise you not to use a collection of primitives (cubes, planes,spheres), instead just install proBuilder. Its in your asset Manager. Free. Then check Youtube for tutorials.

[bold ibex]

I'm really gonna need help in the development in this vrc map...

[kind leaf]

Hey, thats why the discord channel exists.

[bold ibex]

yeah, I'm really confused on how to get things like assets, models for the map, textures, and such.

I MIGHT need someone to walk me through how to make this...

😬

[kind leaf]

Well you get assets by clicking Asset Store which is a tab in Unity on top the middle window.
same with textures but you can also find textures from places like:
https://polyhaven.com/
https://ambientcg.com/categories

[bold ibex]

Life. Saver.

Hey um what if i'm trying to make a Quest map?

[kind leaf]

Good luck? If you are new to Unity your asking for a headache. To make a quest world you have to make sure its less than 50MB, all shaders need to be mobile, and you need to convert to android.

[bold ibex]

uuuuggghhhhhh......

should i just make a PC version?

and then worry about optimizing it later?

[kind leaf]

for your first world? I would. then work on converting it after you know the basics

[bold ibex]

Okay.

wellllll.... To start off, I'm kinda trying to recreate an existing house?

can i send an image?

[kind leaf]

sure, I cant help you build the house but you are welcome to post it.

Youtube search proBuilder Modern Home. First link I found but there are plenty more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwWf8ZNh1Xg

Modern is easy once you know how to use your tools. straight lines and accents in 3

[surreal nebula]

Silly question. Anytime I try to organize vrchat or udon files, it stops working. So what I'm I able to move without things breaking?

[bold ibex]

The versions that it gives me isn’t the version it’s recommended for-

[kind leaf]

no 2018.4.20fl is the only version listed on vrchat.com

catch up soon, next month its 2019 and youll be wondering again 😛

[kind leaf]

you dont organize the sdk; you couldn't possibly organize it better. You organize files you import or create only.

[calm gull]

guysss

i need some help??

I clicked upload so many times to publish but it didn't do anythingg

does anyone knows what's the problem??

[potent chasm]

Hello, is there any error in the console ? Once you clicked upload if there is not any error you need to wait a little while before the upload actually start, spamming may completely block you, be careful

[kind leaf]

thats also not what the normal New World Creator screen looks like (nvm, im guessing sdk2)

[calm gull]

yes i'm using sdk2

[calm gull]

there's no error in console

[pliant sinew]

So I have this problem where the meshrenderer doesn't know some of the meshes are in view so they pop in and out even though they are 5ft in front of me. Affects some of the source geometry and some of the placed additions. Not sure how to fix.

Google suggested make them always render but I couldn't find that option in the inspector.

[potent chasm]

Usually when this happen it's because your bounds are incorrect, so i'd say you should check it, otherwise you can just make said bounds huge so they will never leave the frustrum

[pliant sinew]

can it be done in the inspector? or is it a script?

[kind leaf]

Select the mesh and press f

Select it in the scene and press f to be more accurate

That stops it from popping in and out

[muted pulsar]

so I have a world ready to publish, sdk prompts me to test/build the world first...whenever I'm trying the test build option it just launches vrc into my home world, the test world is nowhere to be seen...what's happening?

no sdk panel or console errors either

[unkempt turtle]

correct Unity version?

[muted pulsar]

2018.4.20f1

[unkempt turtle]

hmm, have you tried uploading it as private world with a new ID already?

not Build&Test

[muted pulsar]

I don't even get to the part where I could private it or anything, if I try uploading it tells me I have to test/build the world first

did clear the blueprint id a few times but doesn't help

[unkempt turtle]

Build&Test doesnt upload the world, it launches it from your PC directly

just use Build&Publish instead

[muted pulsar]

if I do use build and publish it abots and tells me I have to test it first

[unkempt turtle]

it really shouldnt do that

you are using the correct SDK, right?

[muted pulsar]

the newest version of sdk2 and the same problem in sdk3 worlds

[unkempt turtle]

very odd

[kind leaf]

There is no prompt to test i wanna see a screenshot :)

[muted pulsar]

ok hold on

[unkempt turtle]

can you enter play mode from unity?

[muted pulsar]

yeah tried that before but I'll try it again

came out of play mode, tried same result

[unkempt turtle]

so play mode does not put you in the main camera view in play mode?

[muted pulsar]

wait do I need a camera? I though that's only if I wanna change the view values or overalys?

[kind leaf]

Do you have compile errors?

[vague remnant]

Yes, a main camera is needed

[unkempt turtle]

you dont need one, but its good for making screenshots and testing

[vague remnant]

Oh

[muted pulsar]

no errors in the console

play mode with camera just works fine but the sdk is still not cooperating

[kind leaf]

You absolutely should have a camera. Thats what vrc gets data from. View distance and post processing kind of stuff. No camera no goodies.

[muted pulsar]

yeah I know it's required for that sorta stuff but that's something I haven't messed around with yet

[unkempt turtle]

its not required, only if you set it as reference camera it will take the values from that cam. otherwise it will create a new camera object

[muted pulsar]

so my best guess is that they added the test requirement but their damn test mode is broken

[unkempt turtle]

they never added force test mode

[muted pulsar]

I wonder why it's crying then, it happens on two different projects with both sdks

[kind leaf]

ok so you didnt actually read my post. If you want anything special like proper clipping or post processing IT IS REQUIRED. That more clear? Dont argue for the sake of arguing. The camera vrchat creates without a reference doesnt have post processing.

[unkempt turtle]

<@&397642795457970181>

[kind leaf]

ied suggest installing the toolkit if chat cant help you sort it.

[muted pulsar]

alright I'm gonna give that a shot 🤷‍♀️

well at least I have easy post processing now I guess

[kind leaf]

lol toolkit didnt help ya?

[muted pulsar]

nah

[kind leaf]

if you try to compile it should update with whatever is wrong

[muted pulsar]

it's not like I even have any scripts on this project

like you mean build it like a game?

[kind leaf]

ye sry, almost the same thing 😛 build and test or build and publish. it will fail but it should update the toolkit debugger

[muted pulsar]

aight let's see

[kind leaf]

if you use the search bar in the top right there are many reports of "last build scene could not be found" . some blame shaders, not being logged in, having post processing v2 installed the list goes on

[muted pulsar]

omg my bad console errors were disabled for some reason and it was some fucking menu that came with the skybox asset 🤦‍♀️

[kind leaf]

🙂 yay you got it.

AllSkys is notorious for that; but most assets with a demo scene have scripts.

[muted pulsar]

yeah exactly it was allsky, what a sneaky prankster lol

thanks for the help, when you mentioned skybox I made the connection 👌

[turbid lantern]

so i was playing vrchat today and i said im a user but i still cant upload a map

im starting to want to give up on this dream

[unkempt turtle]

does it say any errors?

[errant beacon]

^ Are there any errors in the console, and are you logging into the SDK with a VRChat account? o:

[wide stone]

i’d love to make a world but i have no clue how to use unity

i’ve got experience with making models tho

[unkempt turtle]

already 50% of what you are gonna need

[wide stone]

now i just gotta learn the other 50%

[unkempt turtle]

the other 50% are a mix of a lot of things, including lighting, optimizing, Udon/Triggers, fixing random things that you never knew could break

if you have problems with anything you can always ask here or the 2 channels below

[wide stone]

yeah ig so

idk if i have the energy to learn up on all of that though

[errant beacon]

Making a basic world is vv easy, just drag a VRCWorld prefab onto a plane with a collider and you're ready to upload o:

Vowgan's Udon tutorials are vv helpful, and the Unity documentation's great for learning lighting, optimization and etc

[wide stone]

i’ve always wanted to do collabs but everyone’s shady on that

[unkempt turtle]

im doing a collab with scena at the moment (good friend of mine)

[pliant sinew]

I was a derp I couldn't find "bake occlusions" earlier, world is working great. Now I'm adding the details

[proven glade]

Anyone know how to do the voice loundner thing if you stand in area

[late ruin]

wont let me sign in it just doesn't do anything the password is right aswell..

do i have to import the sdk in again after re installing unity?

[kind leaf]

If your playing with sdk3 try Better Player Audio https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml#

[misty wave]

Anybody have tips for doing like, dense forested hills like this in Unity? Struggling to figure out a way that won't chew threw memory to do it

Would I probably just want to use a skybox for this??

[proven glade]

Probably

[keen trench]

If it´s just background maybe only add a couple of planes that look like it from the player´s perspective

[misty wave]

Yeah, in my render on Blender of the scene I just did it with planes I'm just wondering if it's gonna look right from the player's perspective... planes or a skybox are probably gonna be the easiest way to do it though, you're right :/ if you or anyone has any recs for assets like this please do let me know tho

[proven glade]

not sure if that is exactly what im looking for

[green lagoon]

something as far away as distant mountains it's okay to just go with cardboard cutouts /skybox

https://i.gyazo.com/0988aa19272a85d03c4ff06ff5f3a5c5.jpg

[modern kayak]

yes, it is. To be specific, you need the better player audio override, which is one of the scripts in that package. That link is to a database of multiple prefabs, but here is the release page for better player audio specifically: https://github.com/Guribo/BetterAudio/releases/tag/BPAv0.4

Anyone able to help me out with figuring out an animation with Udon with an elevator that has three stops? I know how to animate something that has one direction it moves in, but I need help with making it so that it can stop on three floors and just go up and down depending on the button press.

[misty wave]

@green lagoon Hmm okay thank you, that's probably best then! Some of the trees are decently close though... I suppose I could just place some smaller number of trees nearby and skybox the rest of them. Finding assets is hard tho XD is there like a "goto" tree pack that creators like to use? I've found some that look good

[green lagoon]

I can't think of any go to tree packs like I can think of compared to some of the furniture I've seen very commonly on vrchat

[silent night]

I can make simple trees in Blender

[proven glade]

oh, yeah looks like it, but I am not sure how to set it up

[modern kayak]

it has a wiki with tutorials https://github.com/Guribo/BetterAudio/wiki

[silent night]

https://gyazo.com/173787e011a49df528fc79c27779f554

[misty wave]

@silent night ty!!

[silent night]

…? OwO

[proven glade]

sorry for the ping again but the udon behavior component doesn't let me select the better audio overide

[modern kayak]

do you have udonsharp and better player audio installed?

[proven glade]

yes

maybe I should restart

[modern kayak]

try adding the better audio override component and then convert it to an udonbehaviour

[keen trench]

So uh guys, i have a neat question, i have this cubemap right? Looks normal, now check this out

How can i blend the edges?

[proven glade]

wait I have udon but not udonsharp

how do I install udon sharp?

nevermind

nevermind that nevermind still not appearing

[modern kayak]

looks like you don't have the latest vrcsdk

[proven glade]

I have sdk3

[modern kayak]

yes, but not the latest

[proven glade]

so do I need to download it again and import

[modern kayak]

yes

[turbid lantern]

i did it all i have to do is add my final touches

[kind leaf]

an amp, its an amp.

[proven glade]

I seem to have everything working now

I was able to import the script

into the behavior thing and yeah had to convert it

[floral trail]

Hi, im making my first world and there are some potion in and i want to know if i can get a sort of transparent effect for quest (maybe using particles shaders) and i would like to know if there is a possibility to see how much a world will be (in Mo) in blender since im making it in blender for now. Thanks in advance

[kind leaf]

yes, particles will work for a transparent effect. Not sure about blender.

[floral trail]

ok thanks

that was the most important thing in all my questions

[misty wave]

what is good practice for positioning for chairs? i never can get it right. I want the bench to look somewhat natural

[rain shadow]

You will want to move the enter point upwards a little

Though the default chairs are pretty bad still

[misty wave]

is there a preferable chair to use?? :0

[rain shadow]

Yeah alternatively you can use this https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdbfa1f267o0aki/UdonCalibratingChairs.unitypackage?dl=0

[misty wave]

Cool thank you so much!! anything I need to know to set it up?? @rain shadow

[rain shadow]

Should be pretty straight forward

Has a readme if you need more information

[misty wave]

Cool, thanks a ton!!

Another question since you might know, is there a pre-existing asset/pack with things like buttons to enable/disable gameobjects (like for disabling mirrors and stuff)? I've made it myself in Udon many times but i'm lazy lol

[rain shadow]

Pretty sure this would have a couple of things like that https://github.com/jetdog8808/Jetdogs-Prefabs-Udon/releases/tag/1.4.0

Requires UdonSharp though so you will need to get that if you don't already have it

[misty wave]

I vaguely recall either seeing that or using it before, I'll def need to reinstall UdonSharp

Tysm friend!!

[misty wave]

@rain shadow I'm trying to add the toggle mirror and I'm getting a compilation error... seen this before?

[rain shadow]

Not sure, but make sure you have the latest SDK

[kind leaf]

The starter kit has prefabs that never fail me. I only used jetdog in sdk2, in 3 I had a wall of red. Couldn't be bothered to diagnose em when there was a sea of alternatives.

[cunning wolf]

Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Realtime lighting lights everything up just fine, but when I bake, everything on the ceiling REFUSES to receive any light at all. It's all just black up there.
Been trying to fix this for 3 hours now and I have no idea what I'm supposed to try.

[errant beacon]

would recommend asking in #world-lighting - make sure the ceiling's set to Static though? o:

[cunning wolf]

OK, will do. It's definitely static, yeah!

[patent cedar]

@last condor Hi Encoye! Just wanted to let ya know that Better UNO appears to have been broken by the last vrc update. No longer accepting cards in center. 😦

[turbid ocean]

Could someone explain to me why my objects that I want to be picked up on play, fall to the ground and won't stay in the gun rack?
i'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question, but I didn't see a better place to ask.

[rain shadow]

Gravity on the Rigidbody?

[turbid ocean]

Where do I find that settings?

In inspector?

[rain shadow]

Yeah

[turbid ocean]

I'll try that thanks

I don't see that settings anywhere

@rain shadow Is there another name for it in Unity 2019?

Dugh, nevermind

I found it

[turbid ocean]

Could someone tell me how to increase jump? The tutorials I found said do it with this script in VRC that doesn't exist. I tried changing it in the VRC World prefab, but it didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[kind leaf]

If you are using the vrcworld prefab that will work. However, if you played with the tutorial and have leftover rejects those will break that component

[vagrant shale]

I went back to the Exhibition Hall for the Venice Film Festival last year and noticed that it has several worlds that are under 1 MB that have full 360 degree videos. Is that something special they worked out with VRChat or is streaming this sort of content possible with a prefab?

[kind leaf]

ArchiTechAnon's prefab in beta is doing that with quest support. I'm sure others might but I've only seen that one

[vagrant shale]

I've seen his video player but that seems to just be flat video. These worlds have stereoscopic 3D video that autoplays when the world is loaded. You can find the exhibition hall and the videos by looking for VRrOOm.

And I believe they all work on Quest.

[kind leaf]

Yeah, I said beta. Join his discord ;)

[vagrant shale]

I will look into this, thanks.

[kind leaf]

https://streamable.com/kis2c2

;)

[vagrant shale]

That is gorgeous

[turbid ocean]

I used the VRChat prefab, and changed it to 10, bur my jump height is still normal.. I don't go up in the air at all.

Also, anyone know about how to get objects to respawn back into their original place? I changed gravity so my guns stay in gun rack, but after use, they float in the air.

[rain shadow]

If you have an object sync component on the game objects you could put buttons at their original spot to call objectsync.respawn

[turbid ocean]

I do, how do I add that ojectsync.respawn? I am a noob at this part of VRChat

Do you also know how to get jump so it's higher than default. I changed it in VRChat prefab, but I still don't jump up in air

[rain shadow]

If you have more than one thing changing the jump height it might be overriding

[turbid ocean]

No, nothing else

[rain shadow]

Or if the VRCWorld game object is still a prefab you could right click it and unpack prefab

[turbid ocean]

As far as I know. That was all I changed

[rain shadow]

As it might be using the prefab values instead of the ones you are setting

[turbid ocean]

Ok, I'll try that

Thanks

Too bad things can't auto respawnn. Looks silly having guns floating in the air.

[rain shadow]

You could respawn them OnDrop

[kind leaf]

wait, the obj sync component has a respawn function? Ive just been writing my own... ugh

I don't think so as they released 2019 2.0 SDK

[deft geode]

hey how do I make text in my world that doesnt look weird in mirrors

like making it on quads but removing the actual quad and only text remains

[kind leaf]

what you are describing is a texture. Open your favorite image editor, make you text with the background removed (transparent) and export. When you import it make sure Alpha is transparent or whatever it's called its checked in Unity. Then you can use it as a texture on the Quad.

Can also convert it to a sprite and use it as you would on a canvas instead of font

[deft geode]

the image has no background I think

I just used a text generator

[near estuary]

How can I start vrchat as debugging mode? I tried to pass the --enable-debug-gui flag from command line like '~~~/vrchat.exe --enable-debug-gui' but seems not working.

[deft geode]

can someone help me remove a background of some images since the sites im trying on arent working

[kind leaf]

while you await a response, might be a good idea to look into Gimp. It's free and not some website with predefined algorithms.

I’m using ProBuilder, Is there any way to un-merge an object?

[vague remnant]

Does ProBuilder offer 3d grass? trying to figure out what to do as far as grass goes, and I'm actually kinda stuck somewhere

[near nova]

Is there anyway to make decent NPCs for the combat system of SDK 2.0 ?

[unkempt turtle]

for technical stuff like that i would rather suggest Udon tbh

[kind leaf]

Ctrl z

[mighty juniper]

Besides that

[kind leaf]

Lol no

[mighty juniper]

Awesome. Time to restart my whole project again.

[wraith cipher]

ive been learning Blender and Unity. Was there another app to make Maps?

[kind leaf]

Next time only merge duplicates. Keep source objects until you know you're done.

[mighty juniper]

Alright

Someone in lighting told me if I merged all my objects it would fix a problem I had. It did but now I have to restart everything.

Thanks for the tip though

[kind leaf]

What problem did you have

[turbid bison]

how do we remove the magazine from the pistols on keyboard please I'm lost xD

[mighty juniper]

Baked lighting was causing some of my objects to go completely black after I generated the lighting.

[kind leaf]

Oh no thats uv mapping, probuilders uv features are meh and that wouldn't have fixed it. You generate uv map in the import settings. If that didn't fix it make sure you don't have a reflection probe misplaced. If still black you use Bakery to bake.

[harsh wagon]

were you checking generate lightmap UVs?

[mighty juniper]

Yeah they said something about lightmap UVs

[kind leaf]

pro tip; unless you built it with probuilder, never use probuilder to fix it. Probuilder is fkin awesome but it cant read proper verts from 3d software when you use the "probuilderize" feature.

[mighty juniper]

Alright

Question. How do I snap the ProBuilder window to my HUD

[kind leaf]

drag the tab

it should snap somewhere

[kind leaf]

Any image editor 🙂 except for Paint

[mighty juniper]

Last question. What are these lines, and if there not important, how do I remove/hide them?

[kind leaf]

you put a light probe group in the room 🙂 its showing you where each part of your object is getting its light

[mighty juniper]

Ohh

So just hide the probe for now?

[kind leaf]

if you dont want to see it turn gizmo size down or off

or that

[mighty juniper]

Alright, thank you!

Many Blessings! Thank you

Life changing Repo; it's such a shame the readme has to be so nasty to Harry_T. Could have just credited them instead of mocking the person that gave us VR gold. 😦

[near escarp]

I mean, they DMCAd Xiexe and Panda

[kind leaf]

True, but thats life for most people these days. As long as it failed thats all that matters. I avoid vr politics as much as I can 😉

[near escarp]

It's good to be aware though, because otherwise it doesn't feel justified, even though it really is

[gray sleet]

I updated my world earlier and when i go to check something my world doesnt appear on my account under worlds. Its as if it never existed. why?

[kind leaf]

whats your world id?

[gray sleet]

how do i find that out?

[kind leaf]

check vrcworld prefab in your hierarchy it should have an id if the world uploaded

[gray sleet]

all my stuff was removed. Guess I got banned for some reason

is there a place i can contact support?

[kind leaf]

oh boy that sucks... Yeah https://hello.vrchat.com/legal support email is there

[bold ibex]

how do I creat an asset folder- every time I try to make one and try to put it in it says the same thing

[near escarp]

The asset folder is the main folder where all your assets are contained

It is created automatically when making a unity project

[bold ibex]

I can't download it
?

[kind leaf]

2019 😉

[mighty juniper]

Could you explain this in a bit more detail. I'm running into the same problem again and can't seem to fix it.

[kind leaf]

You can only download and import 2018 and bellow. Next month you'll have access to 2019 if you upgrade your sdk

[kind leaf]

black pillars?

[mighty juniper]

Yep

A lot more now too

But it's never the walls or floors

[bold ibex]

Please someone give me 2018

[kind leaf]

if the asset isnt made in 2018 then no one has it. If it was made for 2018 it would have said so.

there are other free particle effects

[mighty juniper]

It's not an asset

[kind leaf]

wrong person lol

[mighty juniper]

All good

[kind leaf]

ok so pillars; If you clicked generate UV and still got black, make sure you dont have a reflection probe in the scene. They arnt bad but if its not positioned right then reflections turn black. If still black the only options are 1) fix it in Blender which I have no clue about that. 2) Buy/Find Bakery and fogetaboutit 😛 Seriously, I dont even bother fixing lightmaps uv's anymore.

[mighty juniper]

How do I generate a UV?

I'm pretty new to Unity so I apologies

[kind leaf]

you made the pillar or imported it?

[mighty juniper]

I made it, it's just a shape

[kind leaf]

not a probuilder?

[mighty juniper]

I did use ProBuilder to make it

[kind leaf]

select the pillar, open the probuilder window, click generate UV or generate lightmap uv; i dont recall what its called.

[mighty juniper]

Alright

And can I do this with multiple objects selected at once?

[kind leaf]

maybe.... wont break anything.

[mighty juniper]

Alright

I'll tell ya if it works

[mighty juniper]

Do I need reflection probes?

[kind leaf]

no, you dont "need" them unless you have surfaces you want to reflect. Like if you have chrome stuff

[mighty juniper]

Ah

Can't seem to find the generate lightmap UVs or whatever it's called. The weird thing is, I only notice the black when in-game, when I'm in Unity everything looks fine.

[kind leaf]

to you have the lightbulb icon selected? Its at the top of the middle screen near the shader button

[mighty juniper]

No I have it turned off

[kind leaf]

turn it on to see lighting changes

[mighty juniper]

I don't know if it's on or off but I can see the shadows on the shapes.

Everything looks normal

[kind leaf]

huh, my probuilder doesnt want to open lol. But switch it to text mode instead of icons and it will be easier to find the uv generator. Its supposed to auto generate them by default.

[mighty juniper]

What do I switch to text mode?

[kind leaf]

probuilder so you can see what the buttons are labeled as

[mighty juniper]

Alright

Is it called Lightmap UVs?

[kind leaf]

Might be, if you have a button that says that 🙂

[mighty juniper]

When I click on it, a window is pulled up that says:

[kind leaf]

give this a read https://forum.unity.com/threads/probuilder-probuilderize-causes-objects-to-go-black-materials-not-to-work.672073/

[mighty juniper]

Alright

Didn't really help, did you read it too? They were having trouble with an asset and they found a simple fix for it.

[kind leaf]

naw, it was double faces which can happen if you select the wrong thing or accidentally duplicate a face. Unity has an official doc on it because its so common

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@4.0/manual/faq.html

but thats all I got. Ive never had these issues with probuilder but then again I use bakery for everything so I wouldnt know.

[mighty juniper]

Alright well thanks for trying to help

[turbid ocean]

How do I do the respawn on drop? Where do I do this?

[mighty juniper]

I think I found the problem! I just had really bad lighting

[kind leaf]

using a directional light?

[mighty juniper]

I use point lights for all the light bulbs and I have one directional light in the sky

[kind leaf]

that directional light will effect shadows inside which is weird, if it were me ied kill the directional and use gradient (white, light grey, darker grey).

[mighty juniper]

Alright

[turbid ocean]

Anyone can help me with respawn objects back to their original place such as a gun? I see respawn in VRC World, but is this for objects or players?

[kind leaf]

I suppose there is a way to use the new ObjectSync but I use something like this:

    private Quaternion home_Rot;
    void Start()
    {
        home_Pos = gameObject.transform.position;
        home_Rot = gameObject.transform.rotation;
    }

    public override void OnDrop()
    {
        gameObject.transform.position = home_Pos;
        gameObject.transform.rotation = home_Rot;
    }

just slap that into a script and attach it to the game object.

[turbid ocean]

Do I use the VRC Empty scritp

script

[kind leaf]

that is a UdonSharp script

[turbid ocean]

I don't know how to do scripting at all

I think I'll just let them float in the air for now Till I can get my programmer friend to help me

Thank you for the help

[deft geode]

how do I fix this

the mesh appears sideways

I fixed that somehow on another model but I cant remember

[kind leaf]

delete the mesh collider, then re add the mesh collider. the green lines is the collider, not actually the mesh.

[deft geode]

but I need a collider on the boat or people will fall thru it

[kind leaf]

"delete the mesh collider, then re add the mesh collider. "

[deft geode]

I did

do I add the same body to the mesh

part

[kind leaf]

I have no idea what your talking about bud; I just said to remove the mesh collider and re add it. deleting the mesh collider doesnt remove the mesh filter or nothing

[deft geode]

I fixed it

I had to add the mesh collider to the body

instead of the whole thing

Does anyone has any advice how to add in good looking fog to a Vrchat world? I have a huge world with both indoors and outdoor areas and I am already using the fog in unitys lightning setting. Although this affect both indoors and outdoors areas so I use postprocessing to make it less noticable indoors. But I'm thinking of solving it by some other means but don't really find a solution that keeps the world optimized. I'm not really a fan of doing fog with a texture and particle effects.

[kind leaf]

its all particles and textures Slinker; Unity's fog settings is a color overlay. Pro fog is particles. Your asking for the impossible if you dont want to use textures and/or particles.

[ruby jay]

you can disable it when indoors
or change the values to adjust for it using udon

[deft geode]

anyone know how to change avatar pedistals to make the pedistal invisible and only the avatar display

[tame reef]

@kind leaf @ruby jay Thanks for the response! Perhaps outright disregarding particle effects might be a bit harsh. I donnu. I just think it looks bad when I see it in other worlds. (Can't really say I found a VRC world with "good fog" although.) But perhaps I can make it work if I combine particle effects and unitys fog. Can you disable the fog using triggers in SDK2? I will feel dumb if that is the case. That would have saved a lot of work.

I've made a world based on Silent hill 2. So hence why this focus on the fog. Would really like to make the fog better looking when you explore outside. 😄

alright

[viscid belfry]

is it possible to publish a world privately?

I am reading that worlds are uploaded and made private initially and you have to send an email to request for it being public. Is this true?

[inland cave]

To get a world published, there's a tickbox you have to select to submit it to the Community Labs (this is how a world becomes public).

If you don't tick it, it will always be uploaded privately

[viscid belfry]

Thank you Takanu, I now have a new predicament, I was just assigned upload permissions as this is a project for my job. The VR Chat team has upgraded our privileges so now I wonder if its automatically changes those privileges for uploading our world to public. We need it to be private until release.

[inland cave]

So my best guess is like any VRChat world upload, when you hit the "Build and Publish" button it will do a bunch of work before showing you a final screen that lets you fill in details.

If VRChat has thought this through, any special entitlements for publishing id assume would show up here (such as if theres an immediate "Publish to Public" checkbox). If all you see is the Community Labs checkbox then I would contact them again for further clarification as I have no knowledge of special entitlements 👌

[viscid belfry]

okay well thats a great start to know and it probably still behaves that way, thank you Takanu.

[inland cave]

np. You can experiment with hitting Build and Publish as it wont publish until you hit the confirmation button on that final screen that will appear in the editor.

Does anyone know how or if even VRChat can handle instancing of assets through other plugins such as Gena or MegaSplatter?

For various reasons I cannot use the Terrain system for instancing things like grass as it lacks lots of small and basic features and PolyBrush cannot cover for it, so I tried using MegaSplatter which is an addon for distributing meshes or prefabs and that works.... but it cannot dynamically instance assets once I Build and Test and if give up on that and have it keep every instance it made in the scene it adds 100MB of data to a 20MB scene.

I assume this is because whatever starting script it uses like any script that isnt an Udon script, is ignored by VRChat. Is there any way I could begin to approach this problem? 🙊
