Skybox has its own material. You can look in Lighting panel and see what material it is, and then look into material and see which shader it's using

Also you can remove the cube

[bold ibex]

this

[frosty flicker]

Look in here

[bold ibex]

@frosty flicker i dont have that screen

[frosty flicker]

Open in top menu Window > Rendering > Lighting Settings

[bold ibex]

@frosty flicker

[frosty flicker]

Click on Skybox Material to highlight the material file and see the detail of the material

[frosty flicker]

Detail is shown in inspector

[bold ibex]

@frosty flicker

[frosty flicker]

Not sure if it's skybox false. Try creating a new material with Skybox/Procedural shader and assign as scene skybox

[bold ibex]

ok its uploading

@frosty flicker world is still black in the right eye

[frosty flicker]

Do you have video player in quest?

[bold ibex]

no i dont only in pc

[desert python]

did you change to quest via the sdk or unity?

[bold ibex]

i used the sdk within unity to change to android

[desert python]

you should use build settings instead

[bold ibex]

im creating a new project for quest and restarting

[frosty flicker]

On unrelated note, I found this on PCVR. The wall is obstructing video player UI

[bold ibex]

were do i go to change the build settings

oh

[desert python]

go to file->build settings->android->switch build platform

if youre already on android, switch back to PC. then back to android

this will fully compile and fix the single eye (pirate eye) issue

when reuploaded ofc

[frosty flicker]

What a weird issue. I also used sdk to switch build to android and it was fine

[bold ibex]

its all fixed now thank you all for your help

[dusk sapphire]

the issue with the sdk causing that was fixed a couple of months ago so unless your sdk is outdated its fine to switch via sdk

[crystal copper]

Does anyone know if there's a limit to how many video players you can have in a SDK3 udon world? For some reason my 4th one doesn't play no matter what I try.

[near spade]

It seems that my problem was because I hadn't enabled "Allow Untrusted URLs". However I don't know why I need to since I use video from a Vimeo Pro account which seems to be in the Video Player Whitelist. I use the specific URL as explained in this video (https://youtu.be/ekI4-z59ceU?t=97). It's really important for me that users don't need to allow untrusted urls. Does anyone have any idea where the problem comes from ?

[bold ibex]

is there a way to delete the quest version of a world?

cant find anything about it online

[near escarp]

Nope, you'll have to contact the vrchat support

[warm axle]

i wonder how it would be pulled off, but theoretically, an infinite world could be made and uploaded to vrc with some some smart uses of unity

even if not infinite, you could theoretically make a world that has buttons to spawn "items" these items could be platforms the player can place or stack

[warm cargo]

I've had issues with unity syncing objects/variables of VRCInstanciated objects.

Other than that it feels like all tractable stuff.

[stone obsidian]

If i bake the lighting in my world do quest users see it?

Just wondering if that sorta thing is compatible

[near escarp]

Is your world uploaded on the quest platform ?

[cold rune]

hey i have a huge idea but i want someone to think about it and is willing to work with a team to make that idea come true

[near escarp]

[sour onyx]

HEllo everyone

im having massive problem with unity, ive been tryin to solve it for about 6 hours now.

ive uploaded this world earlier today, now im getting this error , and i cannot update/upload the world anymore. i have tried detaching the VRC_PipelineManager in VRCWorld, but i get thie everytime i try to update it, also it logs me out of VRchat in unity, and i have to login everytime.

ive even removed the VRCWorld, and put a new on in the scene, and i have also remove vrc from unity, via forums and reinstalled vrcsdk as per the instructions.

i dont really know where else to turn

[random owl]

Contact #vrchat-support, it's a server side issue

[sour onyx]

ok, thank you, i have contacted them, guess ill have to wait for a reply from them via email. thanks again

[pine coral]

okay so i am brand new to using oculus quest 2, just recently tried vrchat and had an absolute blast when i realized it was made using unity and i figured i could create my own worlds because i have a fair bit of experience with level design in unity and, low and behold, its not hard at all!! i do have one question however. in a tutorial i was watching when the person hit the build and test button it seemed they were exploring their world with their vr headset, however i cannot figure out how to do that. the clsoest ive been able to get is using oculus link to create my virtual desktop, which lets me see the screen.... but not control with my oculus. if someone could either give me a step by step or direct me to a tutorial on how to be able to build and test my world using oculus quest 2 that would be incredible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB-ugW7xGhk&t=0s the tutorial in question

[green lagoon]

basically you would need to upload the world as a private world to test on the quest

as the test upload function only works on the PC version

[pine coral]

ahh rip there's no way to like link my quest 2 to the unity editor or something?

im not ahigh enough rank or whatever to be able to actually upload levels yet unfortuantely

wip for those curious

[green lagoon]

cool Campground

[pine coral]

thanks!! and thanks for the feedback, using the virtual desktop is cool and all, just wish i could actually test this level from within VR

ah well

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

[pine coral]

oooohhh

interesting

[green lagoon]

wouldn't solve your quest problem but these are two very handy add-ons for World builders

[pine coral]

ill have to take a look at these thank you

[green lagoon]

VRWorldToolkit is quite important as it lets you know the file size of the upload which is important as you have a 50 megabyte file restriction for Quest Worlds

[pine coral]

one other question, not quite related to vrchat specifically, is there a way to use hand tracking while using oculus link or am i limited to the controllers?

[green lagoon]

you cannot use the hand tracking on vrchat

[pine coral]

no no not in vrchat

i meant while using my virtual desktop

in oculus link

[green lagoon]

I don't think so

[pine coral]

though thats also good to know

thank you!! i appreciate all your help

🍪

[green lagoon]

as you cannot use the controllers and the Hand tracking at the same time so you wouldn't be able to do any PC Hand tracking

[pine coral]

a cookie for your help

[green lagoon]

and if you have any other questions about making maps with the Quest 2 in mind feel free to ask

[pine coral]

definitely will! i primarily create maps and stuff for 3d art software, the unity specific one being a program called studioNEO but i know the basics of setting up actual playable levels as well like being sure to include mesh colliders and physics and the like

[green lagoon]

actually if you can get away with box colliders for stuff you should do that

[pine coral]

im sure ill have some questions here and there for some of the more advanced things like creating video players and the like

[pine coral]

does that run better than using mesh colliders?

[green lagoon]

yes

[pine coral]

interesting, didnt figure colliders would affect performance

[green lagoon]

because it's just checking is it in the box or not instead of having to check each triangle

[pine coral]

definitely will keep that in mind on more basic stuff

that makes sense

[green lagoon]

like if you need to make a chair it's better to use like 2 box colliders than a mesh Collider

and the video player is actually not that hard as you just download one from somewhere and dragged it into your scene

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml

here's a database of vrchat prefabs

[pseudo oriole]

Did you try click detach on VRCWORLD prefab under pipeliine Manager?

[sour onyx]

Yep, vrchat support got back to me and did something on their end, and fixed everything.

[spice sonnet]

how do i set a spawn on a world

[oblique axle]

Any tips on how to make an animated water plane? I want to make an island getaway in the style of Genshin Impact, but I don't have the slightest clue how to work with water.

[green lagoon]

you would apply a water Shader to your plane

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/clear-water

[oblique axle]

Huh. That simple, eh?

[green lagoon]

yup

[kind leaf]

If you want the water to swell up and down and not just ripple/wave use this U# script.

[dull estuary]

Hey all! I use SDK2 and need help.
I am trying to make it so an object plays music. Whenever I try to do this, the sound plays throughout the whole world (which is not what I want to do)
How do I do this?

[kind leaf]

Switch audio source from 2d to 3d. Its a slider.

[dull estuary]

will try, thanks!

[dull estuary]

didnt work, I can still hear it throughout the whole world

volume is wicked low as well

[left turret]

how do you enable creating portals in your world?

[desert python]

there should be a tick mark for "forbid portals" in the scene descripter

[left turret]

ok. thank you.

[kind tide]

So I have a sorta random question, but does anyone know how people make the scenery in train worlds move. Like is it just a bunch of scene objects moving past the train and looping around? or is there more to it?

I'm asking as I've been working on a world where I want to employ that effect

[green lagoon]

presumably you just parent everything to one object and then animate that one object

[desert python]

everything except the train usually moves

[green lagoon]

yup

[tight tulip]

Hey, im trying to make a button that starts an animation, is there a way of doing that?

[near escarp]

SDK2 or 3

[tight tulip]

2

[near escarp]

Create the button (cube), set your collider to IsTrigger, add a vrc trigger component set to OnInteract

[pine coral]

i am attempting to log into the vrchat sdk menu from in unity and its just stuck on this any ideas?

[near escarp]

Check your console

[pine coral]

wow

of course

as soon as i post

it logs me in

[near escarp]

[pine coral]

https://tenor.com/view/akai-haato-hololive-not-like-this-panic-shake-gif-17045844

thanks for the help lmfaoo

[tight tulip]

Then what

[pine coral]

this seems like a scam

lmfao

[near escarp]

Then you select the PlayAnimation action in the list

[pine coral]

especially based on the fact that the dude only has 31 messages lmfao

[tight tulip]

It says could not locate on etc is it legacy

[near escarp]

Why do you have legacy animations

[tight tulip]

No I don’t

[near escarp]

Can you screenshot your unity window with that message ?

[near escarp]

You need to put the door object in there, and instead of the animation component, you need to create an animator controller and put your animation in it, then create an animator component on your door object and put that animator controller in there

[tight tulip]

Now what

[near escarp]

Now you add CyanEmu to your project, it's pinned in this channel, press play and test your button

[tight tulip]

Running into compiling errors

[pine coral]

https://gyazo.com/70067fbdfa2463e7996ed1bd165f2def not entirely sure whats happening here but for some reason shadows are only showing from certain angles? and only with some of the lights, not all??

nvm found a thread, seems setting render mode to important fixes the issue

[tight tulip]

Running into compiling errors

[near escarp]

Your sdk has to be up to date

[tight tulip]

It is

[near escarp]

Can you show your console ?

[tight tulip]

which one do i select for the actions under VRC_Trigger?

[near escarp]

PlayAnimation

[tight tulip]

It won’t let me put anything in rescivers

[elfin latch]

So everything in my world is fine besides one small thing; the VRCMirror isn't showing my lux water in the back. I've tried changing the layers and stuff but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Anyone have any possible fixes?

[near escarp]

What's lux water

[elfin latch]

It's a water shader

[near escarp]

What does it do that's specific ?

If layers don't work, might be a render queue issue

worth asking in #shaders

[pine coral]

im sooo gonna have to figure out how to optimize this map better if i want it available on oculus lmaooo

what part of a map tends to bloat the file size most?

[green lagoon]

definitely the textures

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit this tool will let you see where all the file sizes going on your Maps

[pine coral]

im gonna assume 2k textures are prolly gonna be too much

[green lagoon]

not necessarily have you done any texture compression?

[pine coral]

i have not, just using the raw 2k textures as they came

[green lagoon]

pretty much nobody ever uses the raw textures on vrchat they always tend to have compression

[pine coral]

guess they are compressed maybe?

[green lagoon]

that's not enough screenshot to answer that question

[pine coral]

im not used to having to do all of this compression and stuff because generally im building maps for rendering images lmao

oh oops

there we go

normal quality compression

will converting them from pngs to jpgs help?

[green lagoon]

turn it to Crunch compression

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBBb6vaWwAAv3Bq.png

[pine coral]

what would you recommend setting crunch quality to?

[near escarp]

50 is fine

don't crunch normal maps tho

[pine coral]

oo

noted

[near escarp]

I hope you bake your world though

[pine coral]

id love to have dynamic lights but that might not be reasonable

[green lagoon]

yep as you basically shouldn't ever have real-time lights on vrchat

and the looks of your screenshot you not doing a scenario where you would need it anyway

[near escarp]

Unless you need realtime shadows or doing day/night version

[green lagoon]

like about the only reason to do it is if it's a dynamic time of day?

[pine coral]

well it would be nice for lights from spotlights and stuff to cast player shadows as well... and ive also got an animated firelight that flickers around

but if i have to forgo that i will

[green lagoon]

yeah for the quest build no real-time lights and PC you want that to be toggled off by default that can be turned on

[pine coral]

you could set the map to toggle real time lights within vr chat?

interesting

if playing on PC is it possible to play in VR? im still super new to using my oculus quest 2 so i dont know much about what you can and cant do

[green lagoon]

depends if your computer is powerful enough to run VR

[pine coral]

i THINK mine is

i have 16gb of RAM and a gtx 1660ti

[green lagoon]

yes then you should just be able to plug in your quest 2 and use it on PC

[pine coral]

working on building a powerful pc and at this point im missing one part... ill give you 3 guesses what that is 😐

okay neat

and then would i launch it from that oculus link main menu thing?

[green lagoon]

yes pretty much anything in vrchat can be toggled on and off as far as the world

[pine coral]

interesting

are coding the buttons for that complicated

i absolutely positively hate coding

DX

[green lagoon]

not particularly has folks have made prefabricated buttons that you just put the object you want to turn off inside of and no code required

[pine coral]

oh interesting

i assume that comes with the vrchat sdk thing?

i saw in a tutorial for making worlds i was watching that there were just preset things you could use for making a mirror button

lets see how much crunching the textures helped here

i was sitting at around 250mb or so before lmao

[green lagoon]

probably I would have to go check but I'd recommend developing your world first with the quest in mine so make sure your lighting looks good with no reeltime lights or post-processing

[pine coral]

yeah for sure

another question, since this is never something i really did within unity itself, always did in the different programs i use, how do i go about setting up post processing for the map? things like godrays from the HDRI, bloom, SSR etc etc

i know ages ago there was something called the post processing stack but that seems to be deprecated on the unity store now

[green lagoon]

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/SCSS/-/wikis/Other/Post-Processing

a documentation page on vrchat post processing

[pine coral]

oh nice this is specific to vrchat

sweet thank you

[green lagoon]

yep that way you're not trying to turn on post-processing that looks bad in vr

[pine coral]

will start looking into post processing stuff after ive finished building my world

[green lagoon]

yep as you cannot use it on the quest

[pine coral]

oh post processing doesnt work on the quest?

thats a shame

er well

from in the quest

i imagine its fine if im running vr on pc

its i shame i couldnt make maps like this available on the quest ;-;

i think the cimpressed size of this map after exporting it from unity into the program i used here was a little over 600mb lmao

oh man crunching the textures brought me down to like 80mb nice

[green lagoon]

is that with the 50% setting

[pine coral]

yeah

compression quality or whatyever set to 50%

[green lagoon]

and you have to accommodate your lightmaps in your budget

[pine coral]

oops forgot to turn off my work light xD but it looks pretty solid i think

[green lagoon]

I would suggest trying to do a test bake

so that you could check like how many draw calls you're using

[pine coral]

yeah ill mess around with that a bit more here soon, gonna take a break but thanks for all the help really appreciate it

looking forward to seeing what i can do with this

ive always wanted to make maps for games and this is a great way to do that without having to make my own game lmfao

[green lagoon]

hope it goes well

[kind leaf]

lack of information. 2d audio is global audio. 3d is spartialized. if 3d didnt fix your problem reset the component and do it again.

[glad cargo]

I wonder if there's a tool where someone's able to type send a youtube link in a discord section and it'll play it in a world

[blazing marsh]

Hello, sorry to bother I'm trying to make my first world but struggling to upload. I'm getting the following console errors.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

[near escarp]

Using the SDK from the website ?

[frank owl]

I'm making a word that is only accessible through a flying car. I was going to just represent that with a single flying car that's parked near where you spawn like you just got out of it(which I'll most likely do regardless). but I was wandering if I could make it where you spawn in inside a flying car that lands shortly after spawning(to not get many motion sick)

or if there is any good examples for something similar to this

[hexed pond]

Question. I'm trying to make a camera-based mirror, but i want it to ONLY show local avatar. E.G yours. How would I set it like this?

Like. I have the camera, and the texture rendering onto the "mirror" but how do i make it show... pretty much only your avatar, no others?

[dusk sapphire]

set the culling mask on the camera to mirror reflection layer only and nothing else

[hexed pond]

i don't see a layers option?

OH at the top of the inspector?

[dusk sapphire]

no, culling mask option on camera component

[dusk sapphire]

uh, in the sdk panel there should be an option to set up vrchat layers

[hexed pond]

this one?

[dusk sapphire]

no, as in your menu bar

https://nyanpa.su/i/5Y2a1u1D.jpg

[hexed pond]

i don't see layers..

[dusk sapphire]

it should look something like this https://nyanpa.su/i/500z1u2G.jpg

in the builder tab, make sure you have a scene descriptor set up

then it'll give you the prompt to set up layers for vrchat

after that you should be able to select mirror reflection layer in the culling mask for your camera

[kind leaf]

There are Discord API tools and vrchat special worlds use them but I do not know if everyday folk are permitted. There are plenty of assets on the asset store for using discord api. Unless someone says it wont work there is no harm in trying one out. If it works, then yay.. If not then you know. Any asset would need converted from C# to U# however.

[glad cargo]

ohhh I see thank youuu

[robust sparrow]

Only way to do that would be to set up your own streaming server, restream the videos from that and display that stream in world

C# assets that contact outside servers generally can't be ported to VRC

[unreal kiln]

heyhey, what is the best way to make some 2d grass in unity? so something like that

[kind leaf]

Not the best tutorial (I dislike silent videos) but it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19YVN2mqJVg

[unreal kiln]

ah, thank you ^^

[crystal copper]

Does anyone know how or have a link to tutorials on how to create hud text that says "playername joined" ???

[errant beacon]

something like this might help? o: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Nu07EAlAQ

referencing to a text object/component instead of a join sound though, ofc

[crystal copper]

Oh good point

I actually just followed that tutorial for the sound, that's funny.

[errant beacon]

lmao

[crystal copper]

Is animated text just a video with transparency? or is there some way to better animate text/

[errant beacon]

depending on what you want the text to do, you could prob just do that in Udon for a lot cheaper render-wise

not entirely sure on what you can do with text in Udon though, sorry o:
might be something for #udon-general?

[crystal copper]

Oh thanks!

[errant beacon]

yw, hope everything works out! c:

[silent night]

So in a texture on Unity, I'm using quite a few PBR's. However I've noticed that a lot come with Displacement maps. For the longest time I've just placed them in the Secondary "Detail Albedo" section on Unity, which seems to work, but other times it does not. Can someone correct me as to where these maps properly go?

[kind leaf]

Displacement is another type of height map

[silent night]

Fair enough.

Thanks~

[worthy gazelle]

nice.

[tight tulip]

Hi asked this before how do I make a button when I click it it plays a animation

[near escarp]

I explained all the steps to you yesterday

Check the sample scenes in the sdk, the trigger one has a play animation button

[tight tulip]

There is no play animation

[near escarp]

There is in the Trigger example scene

[tight tulip]

I looked in there were would it be located

[tight tulip]

I looked in there were would it be located

[near escarp]

Ah sorry, it's in the action example scene

[tight tulip]

What’s the clip for?

[near escarp]

the clip?

the animation clip ? If that's you decide to play a single specific animation on an object

[tight tulip]

How do I make a animation legacy

[near escarp]

No clue

[mint steeple]

anyone know how to do audio in world object?

[sonic forge]

does anyone know how to fix the pool table being invisible
whilst making a world
cause it shows in unity but not in vrchat

[near escarp]

world object ?

[near escarp]

Which pool table ?

[plush siren]

Is there any channel to ask if anyone knows a specific world

[pine coral]

anyone available that can give me a hand with sound stuff?

[bold ibex]

Sound? Like what kind of sound?

We talking in or out of world? Or like character interaction?

[pine coral]

so i have a campfire in the world i am attempting to create and messing with sound in unity is not something ive ever done before

and ive added a nice campfire sound

[bold ibex]

Proximity sound?

[pine coral]

yes

i cant seem to figure out how to make that work

ive set up the sound witha distance and everything

however i can hear it regardless of where i am on the map

[bold ibex]

Mhmm. It looks spot on enough to work.

[dusk sapphire]

you have spatial blend set to 2d, you want it 3d

[pine coral]

these are the settings

ohhhh

[bold ibex]

Oh that might be it, yeah.

[pine coral]

where do i cahnge that

wait i see it

was looking for a toggle

lets give that a go

that seems to have done it

thanks a ton

perfect!!

would yall be open to giving me opinions for ambient sounds here? im stuck between two

https://freesound.org/people/felix.blume/sounds/328293/ this one

https://freesound.org/people/widgetstudios/sounds/532301/ and this one

the scene the sounds will be going with

[pine coral]

why must unity's point light shadows suck so much

[chilly pawn]

am nub at this stuff, but why does the mirror show stuff in the world this way?

[kind leaf]

he in what way? Mirrors reflect what they are told to reflect. Is there something else you were expecting or not expecting?

[vague remnant]

Question, is there any way I can get the audio space to go from a sphere to a cube? I'll kinda need it for what I have in mind for my world

[vague remnant]

Nevermind, can't do it without spending money.... of course....

[untold pewter]

Im trying to add this to my world but textmesh keeps giving me errors, neither of which I can find solutions for (istextobjectscalestatic definition & getglyphpairadjustmentrecords)

[frosty goblet]

keep in mind that TextMesh and TextMeshPro are two different things

There's also like TextMeshProUGUI or something like that, google might help with that one

[untold pewter]

Textmeshpro is what i had

which is what the github says is needed

well that was solved by reimporting the samples and extras

now ive got a new one lol

[spring knot]

Is there a way to make Mesh colliders actually work with rigidbodies? I know that is an extremely abstract qeustion, but you should see what i mean in the video. I just need the cube to fall through the hole in the center of that collider.

Nevermind, it magically fixed itself without me making any changes
love unity

[fervent phoenix]

Hi! is it possible to mix two or more materials through a mask? Maybe shader or smth? This is necessary to paint an landshaft polygon object. According to the principle of how we color the terrain in unity, mixing for exmple, grass and dirt textures

[glacial pond]

I have a water shader that refuses to appear in a mirror, even though i have it reflecting every layer. anyone know what would cause this?

[calm latch]

I am a totally Noob to world making. I am trying to make an on off button for mirror and all tutorials I watched so far seems to be outdated, they meantion things like vrc_trigger. gameobject set active etc, thing is. It does not exist in sdk3 so where can I find an updated tutorial on how to add an on an off button for mirorrs etc. Also if you know a tutorial for pick up things in a world. because that will be next project. Thanks

[kind leaf]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMLgCTDbjvOjMRsyLLbuuqw

There are plenty more tutorial channels you just need to refine your searches. "vrchat sdk3 pickups"

sdk2 is also not depreciated; it's more like a mentally ill version of udon before nodes. Linking components and click events instead of noodles on a graph. A lot of people refuse to evolve to udon.

[native cobalt]

Could someone here with more experience tell me how to hijack player camera for short animation and how to swap back to player view after it's completion?
And also how to do a screen fade effect when teleporting to a new area?

[pine coral]

why is it that hitting undo always seems to take for fucking ever in this version of unity

[kind leaf]

depends on how broken your package is. Undo is instant in all my projects. Of course trying to undo a boat load of changes at once could be a problem.

[keen forum]

hey, my friend has been running into an error every time they try to upload their world. they won't specify what the error says but its the same one they get sometimes when uploading an avatar. they spent awhile making the world and I'd hate for it to go to waste but theyre loosing motivation.

does this sound familiar to anyone? and do you know of a way to work around it

[kind leaf]

"they won't specify what the error says " thats a problem. Get the error

[tardy ridge]

Just wondering, what will affect the order of the world search result? My world has been as 6th in the "chess" search list and always stays there no matter the heat, total visit, favorites, people count in the world. Is it just purely by name and all I need to do is change its name to make it be listed higher? 🤔

[keen forum]

it might be
failed to create file record
or
failed to upload file

that's what he said at least, I'm trying to get him to check again but he's getting frustrated, forgot what it was, and doesn't want to check again because it's stressing him out

[kind leaf]

lack of a scene descriptor, multiple cameras, wrong blueprint ID, a few things can cause a failed upload or record creation failure. If its none of those ied recommend installing the vrchat toolkit and then check the debugger when the upload fails.

[keen forum]

I'll let them know, thank you

[pine coral]

after doing some googling it seems it happens when undoing an edit youve made to a prefab?

any ideas about that?

also is there a way to make it so that materials are automatically separated from models i import into unity so that i dont have to manually do it and reassign the materials every time to be able to edit the textures?

[kind leaf]

maybe you have auto save enabled on the prefab or you have automatic lightmaps

[pine coral]

where would i check those settings?

[kind leaf]

open a prefab if autosave is checked in the corner ied uncheck it. autosave kills unity if a prefab has a broken script fyi. for the light maps check the lighting settings. it will be beside the generate button.

[pine coral]

thanks!@

[kind leaf]

omg can we get 2019 yet? ugh lol so impatient! gimme 😛

[mint steeple]

yeah something like you can turn on and off a music in the world

[near escarp]

@mint steeple Oh, that's just an OnInteract trigger that SetGameObjectActive set to Toggle on the gameobject that has your music

[short gulch]

Does the talkDistance player mod in sdk2 still work? I have the distance set to 100 because it's a big map and easy to lose track of others, but you can reallynonly hear each other about 20ish meters away.

[pine coral]

@dusk sapphire you were able to help me with sound stuff last time, got another question. is there a way to set a delay before a loop restarts? like say i want the audio to loop, but i want there to be like a 10 second delay before the loop starts, how would i do that?

[dusk sapphire]

uuuh

probably easiest to modify the sound file to add a 10 second silent track at the end lol

or beginning i guess

[pine coral]

ahh alright wasnt sure if there was some sort of easy setting i could apply like a delay or something in unity

any recommendations for a program to use? i dont do much with audio sampling and editing

[dusk sapphire]

I imagine most people use Audacity but I hear there were some issues with the latest version of it

[pine coral]

on a side note this forest is coming along rather nicely. ive given up on the idea of making this map available for quest xD its a too ambitious idea to be condensed into 50mb, ill probably make a quest specific map at some point though

alrighty

gah shit that doesnt have audio hang on

[pine coral]

There we go

[strange lava]

how do you lower the download size? using compresion for textures? and how do you compress all the textures?

[sudden lily]

Is there a proper way to setup a picked up object with a rigidbody so particles will collide with it?

@strange lava Click on your textures, click "use Crunch Compression" and hit Apply.

The default 50% is generally good enough without any discernible change to your texture.

Nevermind, figured out what I'd missed; Needed to enable the particle emitter colliding with dynamic objects.

[strange lava]

do you manually have to crunch every texture?

[sudden lily]

Shift-click them all and you can do it all in one go.

[kind leaf]

If you use the vrchat toolkit there is a mass texture importer feature that lets you compress and/or scale all textures at once.

[strange lava]

where can i find this toolkit? sorry i just started doing this this weekend

[kind leaf]

[strange lava]

thanks!

i have a nightsky world and a house with lights and a mirror. it shows my avatar as lit when i look down but it shows dark in the mirror what do i do?

[kind leaf]

light probes

[strange lava]

sorry again... what are light probes?

thanks

[lone birch]

i want to make a new world. should i use sdk2 or 3?

[short gulch]

If you're brand new to this, sdk2 would be the easier way. But if you want to dive in head first with visual scripting, Sdk3.

[lone birch]

idk what visual scripting is but thanks

i will use sdk 2

[kind leaf]

Sdk2 is a less obvious version of visual scripting, same concept but with components only.

And far more tedious

Also if you use sdk3 then most unity tutorials apply.

[kind leaf]

realistically the choice between 2 and 3 is personality not experience. If you prefer unacceptable limitations, frustration and have no respect for time investment than 2. 3 exists for a reason. People that use 2 enter a state of denial because accepting the truth means more work. Both work... One is just far more suited to everyones needs the other is not.

[lone birch]

I see, thank you

i finished making my world but the mirror doesnt even work

when i toggle it it's just blank

[kind leaf]

did you make it from scratch or are you using a prefab?

[lone birch]

prefab

[kind leaf]

blank in the editor or blank in game? Also by blank, do you mean it only reflects the skybox? Care to show a screenshot of the mirror in the inspector?

[lone birch]

https://i.imgur.com/rmm2Ldi.png this is how the mirror looks like in unity

its supposed to reflect idk why it doesnt

do i need to put a cube behind it to work?

[kind leaf]

no whats the inspector look like?

[lone birch]

how do i get to that?

im still a bit new to unity

[kind leaf]

if you have the mirror selected and you havent changed your layout its on the right. Tab is labeled "Inspector"

[lone birch]

oh i see it

https://i.imgur.com/eLRKyWY.png

[kind leaf]

the whole thing 🙂

[lone birch]

https://i.imgur.com/E8ZZUzq.png

[kind leaf]

looks good, there is a reflection update bug in editor that will never be fixed by Unity because it's not important. Ied try testing it in game.

[lone birch]

when i build & test its just a black wall, and when i toggle it dissapears basically

[kind leaf]

try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkqnMflF7o

[lone birch]

ty i will see this

[lone birch]

I want the world to be public but it looks like it's private for some reason

how do i make it public

[kind leaf]

When you upload there should be an option (a check box) to upload to community labs. If it is grayed out then you dont have the appropriate rank to upload publicly. No worries, just sign up for VRChat Plus and you will instantly have permission.

[lone birch]

i have vrc plus so i should have it

[kind leaf]

You do not need to continue the subscription but if a sub isn't an option you just need to spend more time in game playing and socializing and making friends

ic

yeah then just check the community labs box

[dusk sapphire]

uploading a world requires new user rank, but publishing to labs requires user

[lone birch]

i have vrc plus and known user

wait where exactly is the option

after build and publish?

[kind leaf]

in the uploa screen at the bottom

yes

[lone birch]

i see it thanks

[dusk sapphire]

if the world is already uploaded you can publish via the website instead of going through the reupload step fyi

[lone birch]

too late i just deleted and reuploaded lol

[kind leaf]

oh you don't need to delete in the future

never need to delete unless you dont want it anymore

when you reup it replaces the old

[lone birch]

ok ok

My mirror still doesnt work so if i want to update its just the same step as uploading a new world?

[kind leaf]

yes

you wont have the labs option though because its already there.

[lone birch]

Tysm this helps a lot, i hope i manage to fix the mirror too. it's just a black square and when i toggle it it just dissapears completely

also why dont i have trusted user i thought uploading a world makes you rank up

[kind leaf]

a lot of variables adds to rank, but if uploading ranked you up alone ied be a god lol im still just user.

• i dont socialize in game 😛

[lone birch]

oh i socialize a shit ton so maybe thats why

anyway if you have any ideas about the mirror let me know i g2g to work now

[kind leaf]

have a good day 🙂

[calm latch]

Thank you and yes too bad that people don't wanna do new stuff but I also get it. Not everyone has the time to learn and maybe they need to change all their recent uploads when there is an update, which would be a lot of work

[tawny ermine]

Hey what are the good mirror assets? I've seen some out there that don't reflect your menu and stuff

[calm latch]

I followed this video. Added a mirror, cube and created the nodes and did what the person said and nothing is happening when I press the buttons in the world, What did I do wrong? Is animations needed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU9dK8VU274&t=325s

[desert agate]

How do people make floating dust particles in worlds on quest if particle systems don't work on quest? Or do I have that wrong?

[worthy relic]

if this is not the place to ask then il move my question, but is there a way i can make my image less blur? i have no idea what i did in gimp2.0 to make it blurry

when i put it into unity i can see the blur look on it there as well

[kind leaf]

Bit odd to have made it yourself but not know how you made it. Neverless, it's a neon sign no? Emissions are lame as hell with solid lines, blur gives the emissions realistic fade. Set the image to the first albedo and then use the same image on the emission map. Make sure the quad you place it on is of an appropriate scale as to not distort the image.

[worthy relic]

i used a logo maker, but i put it into gimp to cleanup/sharpen the image

but the image it self has become more blurry. and i do have it on an apropreate sized quad

/\ original image

[kind leaf]

gimp wont un fade the edges, youll have to select alpha and shrink by 1, press delete until it looks right but you will be cutting away at the image.

original looked fine, I would have just cropped it

[near escarp]

Sharpen tool in Gimp

[kind leaf]

Sharpen doesn't always handle gradients well but cant hurt. we have ctrl z for a reason 😛

[worthy relic]

where would the sharpen tool be at?

[kind leaf]

filters

[worthy relic]

ok, il give it a shot

ok sorry but im dumb, im in filters but i dont see a sharpen?

[kind leaf]

enhancements? im not in gimp right now

[worthy relic]

oh i see it sorry :<

[kind leaf]

woops bit late

[worthy relic]

ok, i think it did something? colors are darker at the least

[kind leaf]

zoom in check the lines, if you arnt happy just undo

[worthy relic]

way better, thanks :>

[muted kiln]

Is it possible to apply softbody physics to VRC using regular Unity or Udon?

[worthy relic]

im using sdk3 and when i try to do a test build it tells me i need a scean discriptor but i already have one?

[tawdry osprey]

@worthy relic drop vrc world in it then go to the vrcsdk control panel and in the builder tab set everything up there. if that still doesnt work try removing all VRCSDK content and re-installing the SDK and start over

[worthy relic]

vrcworld?

[errant beacon]

In the VRChat SDK's prefab folder there should be a VRCWorld prefab, drag that into your scene
If there's another scene descriptor component in the world, delete it o:

otherwise, import https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and see what it's world debugger says? o:

[worthy relic]

ok is there a place i can share my screen?

[errant beacon]

not here no, but screenshots are fine

[worthy relic]

ok well them im mega confused

i did that and it still tells me i need a discriptor

[errant beacon]

Import VRWorldToolkit and see what it's world debugger says? also, check your console for errors

there should be a button to open that at the top-left of the asset browser

[worthy relic]

ok well i fixed some stuff it said i should fix but still nothing?

[errant beacon]

would you mind sending a screenshot of the Unity console? o:

[worthy relic]

its just this

before i imported the debugs it gave me a few errors but those are gone now

[near escarp]

restart unity just in case

[worthy relic]

its restarting

im going to reinstall vrchat it self, i remember in older versions of sdk's reinstalling vrchat could fix random problems like this

ok so i tried building it after i reopend unity and it didnt work, gave me what i posted above. after reinstalling vrchat it seams to work

@near escarp @errant beacon thanks for your help

[errant beacon]

yw! o:

[worthy relic]

my only guess as to why it broke in the first place may be due to switching between locals in windows 10. some of the games i play require me to be in japan locale/time

[errant beacon]

If that's the issue and if it's reproduceable, you def might want to post that on the canny https://feedback.vrchat.com/sdk-bug-reports

[worthy relic]

nice :U and yeah if it happens again i will @errant beacon

[vague lantern]

is there a way to fix this error

i cant update world

[worthy relic]

have you logged in on the sdk?

[vague lantern]

yes

well now i cant even go in control panel

[worthy relic]

use this?

[gray sleet]

Uhh. Its been over a week and i still cant upload my world to the labs. why

[errant beacon]

When you try to build the world, does it say that "the signed in account does not have access to the blueprint associated with your VRC_Avatar(or Scene)Descriptor"?

[vague lantern]

NO

sorry caps

i cant use control panel now though

[errant beacon]

Right-click the VRChat SDK in the asset browser and hit Reimport? o:

also, make sure you're using Unity 2018.4.20f1 if you're building for Live

[vague lantern]

where

[errant beacon]

might be something for VRChat support? o: http://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[errant beacon]

Right-click the VRChat SDK folder in the asset browser, Reimport will be an option in that menu

[vague lantern]

didnt work

[errant beacon]

to clarify, why can't you use the control panel? i.e is the option not there, etc

[vague lantern]

its just utilities

[kind leaf]

just helped a person with the same issue, they had to restart their pc. No guarantee that will work but it did for them. Of course I knew their project was setup correct from the start because I gave it to them.

[analog parcel]

What does open to friends mean on a community labs world?

[kind leaf]

its an instance where friends can join without an invite

[analog parcel]

even in invite only instances?

because I log in there and they still need to send a request

So that is what confused me since it still says that no matter the type

[rain shadow]

Open to friends is just the published status

Labs is incorrectly called open to friends

[analog parcel]

Ohhhhhhh

That confused me a little too much

[kind leaf]

lol never noticed that haha

[analog parcel]

Because I saw a thread about how it was "open to friends" and the world no matter how popular it was didn't get published. So not sure if that was something bigger than it actually was.

[errant beacon]

bit late, but try restarting Unity and see if the console changes? otherwise I'm not too sure, sorry o:

[desert agate]

Heyo

I'm making an Udon script, but my public variables are greyed out in the inspector, any ideas?

[rain shadow]

You need to have that udon script in an udon behavior component on a game object in your scene

[desert agate]

Ahhh, thank you

That makes sense

[vague lantern]

how come when i build and test my world, it doesnt update

[rain shadow]

Likely have errors in the unity console

[vague lantern]

ive cleared the errors

[rain shadow]

Cleared?

[vague lantern]

before you said that i cleared them

so idk what errors i have

[rain shadow]

Those errors will prevent the world from building properly

Try build again and see what shows up

[vague lantern]

nothing happens, it just doesnt update

[rain shadow]

Try build the scene again so you get the errors

[vague lantern]

how

[rain shadow]

In the SDK panel build and test

[vague lantern]

no errors

[rain shadow]

Restart unity and see if the errors show up again

[kind leaf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37g7QfbaCbY

[vague lantern]

@rain shadow

[rain shadow]

Try build and test again?

I have never seen the top error before

[vague lantern]

could it be that im using an old sdk

[rain shadow]

Yes

[vague lantern]

the top error is for a different project

[rain shadow]

Get the latest SDK2 version from https://vrchat.com/home/download

[gray sleet]

not sure but i might need advanced support. I had a world removed a while ago and i redid the world, im uploading it now but it shows up as the old world and cannot be joined and has a broken image. why

[kind leaf]

vrchat bug. had the same issue. had to submit a ticket. world is gone but it shows in content manager

[gray sleet]

content manager?
so what do i do? I submited a ticket.

[kind leaf]

upload the world as a new ID.

[gray sleet]

my old world doesnt show up in content manager.

and how do i upload it as a new ID

[kind leaf]

to assign a new ID you just detach the ID from the pipeline manager.

A new ID will be created when you upload

[gray sleet]

where is pipeline manager

[kind leaf]

in the scene descriptor

[gray sleet]

and that is were XD

[kind leaf]

you had to add it to upload. maybe VRCWorld

[gray sleet]

there is no id in the pipeline manager

[kind leaf]

well no id means you aint uploading which would be why your old world isnt updating

The ID is automatically filled in on a successful upload.

[gray sleet]

well whatever was uploaded was my old world and was broken.

Do i just put a name in there and call it good?

[near escarp]

It gets generated when clicking build and publish

[kind leaf]

If you old world is still in the content manager just copy the id and paste it in the pipeline manager

[kind leaf]

thanks for the clarification 🙂

[gray sleet]

ok. so it was generating the same id as my old world? After that i whent into vrchat and tried to enter the world. couldnt.

And my old world isnt in the manager anymore. i deleted it.

so what do i do with the ID to make sure this does not happen

[near escarp]

If your world isn't in the content manager then you don't have to do anything

[gray sleet]

well something has to be done. Iv done this multiple times and it ends up the same

[kind leaf]

click build and publish?

[gray sleet]

yep

[kind leaf]

and what happens?

[gray sleet]

It uploads. But then in game and on the website it shows the old world desc and all that, but with a broken image

[near escarp]

[gray sleet]

you cant join it either-

[near escarp]

What's the world ID ?

[gray sleet]

there is no id

[kind leaf]

get it from the website after you reupload

[gray sleet]

wait nvm

found an id

i found an id. do I detatch that and make a custom one?

[near escarp]

No, just detatch

[gray sleet]

the old ID when put into the website / browser. Shows up as nothing. Just a blank vrchat home website.

so is there anything else i need to do?

Great. so id love to check it out, but now, it says i have to wait another whole week. Is there someone i can talk to about that? :/

[near escarp]

can't you just put the id here ?

[gray sleet]

you want the old id?

[near escarp]

well, anything really, just waiting

[gray sleet]

oh. well i guess. here it is. useless to me. wrld_b41877d8-37cf-452d-b797-58eed4957a7c

[near escarp]

Ok yeah that world was deleted

[gray sleet]

ok. so that id was deteched so no longer exists. the id is blank now so i want to reupload again but cant XD

[near escarp]

Can you just delete the vrcworld prefab and create another in your hierarchy

[kind leaf]

you can upload a billion times a day. you can only upload to labs once a week

[gray sleet]

oh. ill try.

what would deleting the vrc prefab do

[near escarp]

Dunno, trying to find a solution as to why it's using the ID you detatched every time you try to upload

[gray sleet]

alright. ill try uploading now. if nothing ill do that too

[near escarp]

don't publish to labs, keep it private for now

[gray sleet]

too late for that. cant upload to labs again. for a week :/ cuz i tried to upload it earlier and found out that didnt work. then lead ot the whole ID thingy

[kind leaf]

yeah in the future you shouldnt delete a world just because it was broke. You can fix it and reupload without risk. Also, dont publish to labs on a project you havent tested. save the once a week upload for a project you have confirmed to be functional.

[gray sleet]

yeah. will be doing that from now on.

ok so that worked! I now have a private world created

Just got to wait a week now ;-;

[kind leaf]

in one week go to the vrchat website under my worlds and click publish for your private world

[gray sleet]

yeah. lol. will do that then. now i gotta copy it and send in the quest compatable version

[vague lantern]

well that didnt work

[rain shadow]

Do you have errors now?

[vague lantern]

a lot more

[gray sleet]

Side question. Do all worlds begin with 1 report?

[rain shadow]

What errors

[kind leaf]

yes

[gray sleet]

ok. ty ❤️

[vague lantern]

a very long list

[kind leaf]

cryptic replies when asking for help is the same as saying you dont want the help.

[rain shadow]

Make sure to follow this https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/updating-the-sdk

If you follow that and still have errors go to project settings > player > other settings and make sure api compatibility is set to 4.0

[vague lantern]

i just figured out thaty its updating, but the player mods arent working

[desert agate]

When rebuilding a PC world for quest, is it recommended to make a copy of the PC project and edit that, or to change the build target on the original?

[hardy scarab]

heeey Im new in world creation and I just wanna know some like. tips and tricks on making worlds in blender. all I know is loop cutting and extruding asdfhaosdhfajd so all of my worlds have squarish shapes and nothing else.

[vague lantern]

use knife tool

you can cut shapes into vertex in blender

[rigid garden]

Hi, I'm new to vrchat. I wanted to tell you if you could help me with this How would I have to do it to be able to create avatars?

[vague lantern]

you need to be new user

you cant be visitor rank

[rigid garden]

What should I do

[vague lantern]

just play the game

spend time in it and add friends

your rank will rank up to new user (blue)

[rigid garden]

at least how much time has to pass

[desert agate]

Nobody knows, but it isn't that long

[blissful zenith]

so baiscly i need help bc my shaders for my world are just completely messed up

so baiscly

it looked like this

[vague lantern]

i think you have to spend 24 hours

[blissful zenith]

and then now it looks like this

[vague lantern]

and add friends

[rigid garden]

OKS

Thanks a lot

[desert agate]

Sorry. Have fun!

[rigid garden]

I hope it didn't take me that long to create avatars

[remote vigil]

Anyone know how to fix the light leaking like this? I made sure the planes intersect and it still happens

[rain shadow]

Either decrease the bias value on the light or add secondary geometry outside of that area to block the light

Though baking the lighting would be the best option

[remote vigil]

Guess its time to learn how to bake, no time like the present

[green lagoon]

yes because it's basically mandatory to bake lighting if you want your stuff to run any good

[remote vigil]

Have a good VRC specific tutorial for lighting?

@worthy relic I made a tutorial today (updating my old one) on how to get started with the bare minimum for beginners. @near escarp bump this somewhere if you got the time 😉

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FZSFcNysPw

[near escarp]

I'd rather not pin the very very basic kind of tutorials, that'd be a cluttered mess

[tawdry osprey]

Noted! But there really aren't many up-to-date tutorials that are short and to the point 😛 I understand if you don't want to but I thought it might be helpful. Couldn't find a single tutorial made this year that wasn't all over the place or super long.. etc

Actually there's not even a tutorial for making worlds pinned 🤔 interestingggggg

Is there a limit to how many private worlds you can upload at different ranks?

separate worlds I mean

[worthy relic]

is there an easy way to animate a water feature?

all im seeing is for sprites and a script that moves the texture

[worthy relic]

you know what, ima do something different :T its late and i cant be botherd to learn how to code in udon after being awake for 25 hours now

Anyone know where to get Bottle prefabs xD ?

[wheat prism]

Hello! We are looking for VRchat word developers to join the team of one cool contemporary art Russian project. You need 3d modeling skills, a desire to add something new and creative by your own, work with textures and shaders. Create Adaptation for the quest. The work is paid. The deadlines are burning. Existing examples are waiting in a pm.

[bold ibex]

UdonSharp compiled 14 scripts

then nothing happens?

last build says there is no build and console I have 0 errors

[strange lava]

i tried streaming music into my world by using a video player but this doesnt seem to work? anyone know why?

[tawdry osprey]

@olive shuttle what kind of bottle do you need

[desert python]

are you using avpro?

[strange lava]

no the unity one

i have a normal video player but i also want to use one for audio

[desert python]

and where are you trying to stream from?

[strange lava]

from youtube

[desert python]

livestream?

[rotund scarab]

I keep falling through my terrain. It has a Terrain and a Terrain Collider component. How do I stop from falling through?

[strange lava]

nope 60 minute music video

though i livestream would be better

but i already figured out that doesnt work even on my normal one

[olive shuttle]

well atm im making a bar so alcohol bottles 😄

[desert python]

odd, is it age restricted/banned in random countries?

[strange lava]

i dont think so

its some lofi music

copyright free

nope not banned anywhere

[tawdry osprey]

@olive shuttle simple one I made in like 2 minutes I had in my models folder

Lol

[strange lava]

one thing i did only begin with unity this weekend so like im new af

[desert python]

hmm. have you tried any other videoplayer? that sounds like it would work vanilla

[tawdry osprey]

https://gyazo.com/671a968987c94f7c55b4313caf1603bb

[strange lava]

nope. i use a unity one for my normal one and also planned to use a unity one for my music

[bold ibex]

hey guys any reason why my map is doing this weird lighting glitch

[tawdry osprey]

@bold ibex can you send screenshot so we can see

[kind leaf]

view distance on your reference camera is too low

[tawdry osprey]

Looks like camera clipping , ya

that's model-side?

like... avatar sided?

[bold ibex]

it's in game I will try the reference camera thanks

is that the main camera

[olive shuttle]

ohh that be looking nice mate 😄

[tawdry osprey]

@olive shuttle if you need more I can make them for you, maybe something better lol. thats like a 60 second model so its a little low quality

[olive shuttle]

I would love that 😄 . would love to have more models to use 😄 so if you want to.. that would be nice 😄

[tawdry osprey]

i have a whole library of random things I made Lol. dm me your email

[kind leaf]

yes the reference camera is the main camera, but you have to make sure to add it to the scene descriptor in the camera reference location. make sure near is .001 and far should be whatever you need to render the distance you need. try 1000 for testing, if it works then make is smaller.

In most cases you shouldnt use anything higher than the minimal distance needed. Only time 1000+ is used is in flight simulators. The farther you can see, the more you have to render 🙂

[bold ibex]

how do you add the main to the scene discriptor sorry I have only now started seing this issue

[kind leaf]

your scene descriptor is in a prefab called vrcworld right?

if you select it in the hierarchy you will see a place in the inspector on the right for adding the camera

[kind leaf]

^ make sure that near is .001

[kind leaf]

reference camera is below spawn orientation

drag n drop the camera there

[bold ibex]

okay testing ty btw! really appreciate\ it

it seems to still be a problem

[kind leaf]

is the clipping the same or can you see more of the building?

[bold ibex]

when I move in unity it does the same thing odly

[kind leaf]

one moment, im bringing up a project to see what my camera is set at, yours does seem different.

nope, nothing different. try boosting far to 3k. Its your perspective thats cutting out the render which is why I keep coming back to the near/far stuff.

[bold ibex]

okay thank you I will try this

[kind leaf]

you're not use a special skybox are you? like a dome you physically placed in the world?

[bold ibex]

just the udon skylab

I had an 8k one in but removed it

because I thought that's what caused it

[kind leaf]

never used skylab, i use unity's skybox settings

[bold ibex]

changed it to the default

3000 did it

!!!!

[kind leaf]

Only a physical skybox with an incorrect mesh inversion would cause that or incorrect camera settings to compensate for the mesh boundaries. Unless you need separate skyboxes for separate zones its better to use just a normal skybox and you can set it to any art/resolution you want.

[bold ibex]

or the skybox lol not sure will test ty so much

[kind leaf]

Sweet! now drop it down to the lowest you can go before it stops working

^not a priority though, but for optimization its worth the effort in the end

[bold ibex]

do you know why my character would move super slow in the world?

[kind leaf]

change walk run strafe

speeds are also not accurate in cyanemu but they are close.

[bold ibex]

what is that in?

and ty

[kind leaf]

vrcworld

your scene descriptor

[bold ibex]

mine doesnt seem to have those options Im going to drag and drop vrcworld in

[kind leaf]

yeah better off using the prefab, make sure you copy over the camera reference though and place it where the old one was in the world

mine is also an sdk3 descriptor so yours will look different

[olive shuttle]

Does anyone have a nice working door system?

[kind leaf]

dm = direct message, click their name and you will have the option to message direct. 😛 that way you arnt sharing your email with the world

[bold ibex]

damn it;s still doing this

[kind leaf]

slow walk or clipping?

oh in editor! I got you. just click that tree on the scene and press f

the editor camera (something you cant change the settings of) loses its perspective if you are moving around your scene a lot. You have to occasionally reset its orientation by selecting what you are trying to view and press f

pressing f will zoom you into the object and fix it

[bold ibex]

ty that fixed it

[kind leaf]

you have the same effect in blender but in blender you can adjust the editor camera view distance.

🙂

[olive shuttle]

Thanks was half asleep xD

[olive shuttle]

Does anyone have a nice working door system?

[kind leaf]

2 or 3? This dude has tutorials for all your sdk3 needs including doors https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMLgCTDbjvOjMRsyLLbuuqw

[olive shuttle]

for 3 😄 thanks imma look into it ^^

[bold ibex]

so my moving speed I increased but I still move like a sluggg

hahha

[olive shuttle]

anyone who can help?

[bold ibex]

maybe add more probes?

light reflections/ new source

[errant beacon]

would recommend https://vrcat.club/threads/xiexes-lighting-tutorial-how-to-get-good-at-baked-lighting-101.2081/
note that Enlighten is an older lighting engine(?), wouldn't recommend using it but the rest of the article is vv good o:

[unkempt turtle]

progressive is ray traced baked lighting

enlighten kinda looks wrong

or go the chad route and use Bakery

[bold ibex]

does anyone know why my moving speed is so slow everything is at normal and my map is not very big

my floor is just a simple 3d cube stretched out

[olive shuttle]

THanks for the advices 😄 ill look into it ^^

[errant beacon]

Make sure "isRoomPlayerMods" is ticked in the VRC_PlayerMods component? o:

[bold ibex]

is that in the vrcworld settings?

[errant beacon]

yup, VRC_PlayerMods is included in the VRCWorld prefab

[olive shuttle]

Any were to find games for a world?

[bold ibex]

https://65536.booth.pm/

@olive shuttle

[olive shuttle]

ty ^^

[bold ibex]

I cant seem t find it hmmm.

[errant beacon]

If you click the VRCWorld gameobject, it should be listed in the inspector - would you mind sending a screenshot? o:

[bold ibex]

sure ty 🙂

that's it

[errant beacon]

ah kk
if increasing both walk/run speed doesn't affect it ingame, that's odd o:
might want to import https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and see what it's world debugger says? might be something in the world that's preventing it from compiling

[bold ibex]

I can run fine change speeds

just run very slow

everything takes so long to get to even when it's not far away

the toolkit doesnt say anything hoenstly im stumped

[errant beacon]

not super sure on that, sorry o:

[bold ibex]

ty tho

[kind leaf]

you sure your not just lagging? check the fps. in the unity game mode enable stats, in vrc just press escape and its at the bottom of the ui

[bold ibex]

no it's not lag it's speed

i'm getting 145fps when testing

I'm just going to check my other projects

not sure never had a moment issue

[kind leaf]

GPU isntancing should only be used for identical objects. If you use it for everything its not helping. Not sure if it will help but it is a bad choice to have it on everything

[errant beacon]

Check the profiler? that can be found at Window > Analysis
there's also the Frame Debugger, which might show you unneccesary draw calls/passes

don't think GPU instancing is strictly a bad thing to have on, it just might not do anything in some situations

also note that transparency is v expensive on the Quest, so try to keep that to a minimum

[kind leaf]

Your world isnt using real time lights is it?

[errant beacon]

you should def avoid realtime lighting if you don't need it, it's very expensive o:
would vv much recommend going over this guide, though don't use Enlighten: https://vrcat.club/threads/xiexes-lighting-tutorial-how-to-get-good-at-baked-lighting-101.2081/

Either use the Progressive lightmapper, or Bakery

[kind leaf]

realtime lights are horrible. If you have to use them you set their occlusion to effect just your static objects ONLY. By default they effect all. one realtime light without shadows gives a 50k avatar 50k rendered verticies. 2 realtime lights means a 50k avatar is now rendering 100k verticies.

use light probes to get the baked lights to effect your scenes lighting correctly

[rotund scarab]

Can someone help me fix an issue where I just fall right through my terrain?

[errant beacon]

Add a collider component

if it's Unity terrain, add a terrain collider, or otherwise use a mesh collider if the poly count is relatively low

[rotund scarab]

It came with its terrain and terrain collider scripts

[errant beacon]

would need to scroll down to see more

[rotund scarab]

The terrain object has no physical form other than the one that the terrain component creates

I'm still relatively new to world making

Could it be an issue involving the terrain data?

If so, how does one edit that?

[errant beacon]

not entirely sure, sorry o:
would recommend following the guide I linked on baked lighting though, realtime lights can get very expensive quickly

[errant beacon]

not super sure on that either, sorry!
Make sure that your spawn is above the collider? could also try using a mesh collider instead, but I'm not sure how/if that'd work on terrain

[vague lantern]

i added the mods, but when i build and test, nothing happens

[desert ledge]

Is there a way to print graphics onto the players viewport?
Thinking about making an RPG-esque game.

[rain shadow]

SDK2 or Udon?

[desert ledge]

Udon.

[rain shadow]

You can do GetTrackingData > head and just offset some UI in front the players viewpoint

[desert ledge]

I've never made anything in unity/VrChat so I guess this is where I start lol

If anyone can pass me some more tips please do!

[rain shadow]

Knowing what you currently have setup and what you want to achieve would help

[desert ledge]

I've spent the past few days setting up the persona 4 TV world, and a couple dungeons.

All I really want to do at the moment is figure out a basic battle system.

[rain shadow]

PvE or PvP?

[desert ledge]

PvE

PvP wouldn't work in this format.

I have a couple screen-shots of what I currently have though.

[rain shadow]

Assuming you don't have any AI for your PvE this might help as a starting point https://github.com/Centauri2442/SimpleAI/releases/tag/v0.1

[strange lava]

how to resize grass textures?

[bold ibex]

scale @strange lava

should work

[blissful zenith]

can someone help me with this pls

[viscid belfry]

Quick question to see if anyone has run into this issue.
I have this function in which where I grab an object, On drop I want it to snap to a place if it found the right collider. If it doesnt find the right collider it goes back into place.
This is working flawlessly so far. The issue that I am having is that when I drop the object inside my own player collision my function fails and the item stays hovering in place instead of going back to the desired position.

For it to find the right collision its looking for a string name on the game object.
Regardless it should go back to its original position and it always does! Unless it happends to be dropped inside the player. It seems like it it ignores the function altogether.

[rain shadow]

@viscid belfry After dropping the object in your own player collider area does it return to normal behavior as soon as it's not within the player collider?

[viscid belfry]

great question btw: no the behavior seems to be completely ignored after that

[rain shadow]

What function are you running on drop?

[viscid belfry]

here is the code snippet. This is the only function running with On Drop

so i am using overlapsphere to detect collision.
If a matching string is found in a for loop. That is the new drop location
Else return to the original position.

[rain shadow]

OverlapSphere is likely grabbing the player collider which returns as null causing the udon behavior to crash

[viscid belfry]

shouldnt that be ignored if it doesnt match the string? I can only assume now that maybe the player collider name is null as well?

I have tested it against multiple colliders which makes me even more confused

For example I have tested it against this wall which also has a collider, and it still behaves as expected, how would the player collider change or break the behaviour?

[rain shadow]

The players colliders avatar and menus are all protected game objects

You can't reference them so if you do hit the collider it will kind of work but just return as null

[viscid belfry]

oh thats crazy, ive never encountered this problem before.
so then that means in my for loop I should check for a null object as well? Perhaps that will stop it from breaking?

[rain shadow]

Yeah

[viscid belfry]

Awesome, thank you so much that make sense. I am sure you just saved me a ton of time.

I've never encountered a protection problem before or even aware of it

[bold ibex]

hey guys I have added a rain prefab from unity and it works fine in testing on unity/map compiles runs in vr except no rain .

[near escarp]

If it uses a script then it won't work

[bold ibex]

oh okay ty damn that was quick

any recommendations to getting rain working? I have tried the particle system but it looks kinda janky

[near escarp]

I'm not too sure what people use these days, there's good prefabs i'm sure but no clue where they exist, there might be something on Booth.pm for that

[bold ibex]

ty, I'll do some digging! @near escarp

[green lagoon]

I'm guessing a combination of like a rain Shader for Windows and the ground plus particle effects is the combo I've seen in Worlds

[bold ibex]

I'm so happy I could get these guys in the game

[green lagoon]

My new Universal Splat Map shader is out! It brings you a possibility to blend 4 PBR layers in a single material based on the heightmaps, puddles, rain with cool ripples effect and more! Check it here: https://t.co/BRbROjJh86 https://t.co/Dt29Mkf8YA

I have been in maybe one map that has good good rain

[near escarp]

Set your shadow strength to something below 0.9 !

[bold ibex]

thanks for the tips! time to get going with it.

[near escarp]

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

You'll want to add those two systems to your project

will make world making much easier

[green lagoon]

apparently someone recently made a Unity add-on that's basically a button for automating installing all of those https://github.com/Varneon/WorldCreatorAssistant

[bold ibex]

thank you I remembered to get the vrtool kit again this is my first proper attempt

[near escarp]

Oh yeah @near ore can you post this here so that i can pin it

[green lagoon]

yeah I'm surprised it hasn't already been pinned

[near escarp]

I prefer when the creators themselves post it

that way people can reach out

[green lagoon]

of course

also that's cool how folks can make editor extensions like that for vrchat compared to like second life where you couldn't do something like that

[bold ibex]

is it an advantage testing in unity just saves time I guess?

[green lagoon]

yes a lot more time saved

[bold ibex]

ok i'll grab it!

[green lagoon]

yeah a lot quicker to use that tool and check to make sure you don't fall in the floor

[bold ibex]

so Ruuubick do you like NPC's

I did that earlier haha okay sounds good

[near escarp]

Without the youtube link pls, the embed will take too much space

Are youtube links not embedded in git repos ?

[near ore]

Will be adding one soon

[green lagoon]

glad that got pinned

[bold ibex]

hello

[bold ibex]

I closed unity and now cant find world kit

I think reimporting the sdk fixed it

[bold ibex]

for quest side how do you make a material to look like a glass window

[desert python]

same way you would on pc but just dont overlap windows

[kind leaf]

same way you would on pc would be to drop the alpha on the color scale in a standard shader, boost the smoothness and lower metallic. Quest doesnt do standard nor does it do transparency in Standard-lite.

[desert python]

just dont overlap transparencies/alphas

[shy sleet]

anyone know the cause of this? I only have one, and it keeps giving me this error

[kind leaf]

bro, what are you even talking about? how can you possibly overlap alphas on a single mesh with one material?

[rain shadow]

When does that error show up?

[shy sleet]

when I hit build and test

[rain shadow]

How old is your SDK version?

Or when did you last update it?

[sudden lily]

Is there some way/layer to get particles colliding with a player to show for other players in a world? Right now they seem to occur locally but just go through the player when viewed from another.

[rain shadow]

Not without enabling combat system or attaching a collider to remote players

[sudden lily]

How do I enable combat?

[rain shadow]

Udon or SDK2?

[sudden lily]

Udon

[rain shadow]

You likely only need the combat setup part of this

[sudden lily]

Cheers!

That worked, but I seem to be loading in dead-like with the blood overlay. Am I missing something that needed to get set up properly?

[rain shadow]

Oh you will need the SetDamageGraphic one too then

Can have it set as an empty game object

[sudden lily]

Ahh, cheers.

[shy sleet]

the issue was I forgot to remove the sdk2 before adding sdk3, your question helped me solve it, appreciate it

[sullen turret]

I'm trying to add fog to my world but it's just not working

Nothing happens when I click the fog check box

[sullen turret]

Nvm. My dumb ass just figured out sprites aren't effected by fog

[fossil wolf]

Can you clear reports from your world somehow?

I hate going into my world menu to see the reports saying "Environment - Malicious"
What is Malicious about my apartment world?

Quest users runs around reporting for anything so I can't actually find if anything is broken because these reports provide no actual report value for the creator

The world even has a report for "Avatars-Malicious"

The world doesn't even have any avatars in it... 🤔

[sullen turret]

Maybe put your world into a prefab, create a new project and import the prefab?

Then reupload

[fossil wolf]

Would be good if the system was changed so when someone report they have to type a line so the creator can see the reason for the report

Report 1:
You can walk thought the wall here

Report 2:
Hahaha me funny I report hahah

Report 3:
You can glitch the rubix cube by throwing it up the ceiling

Etc..

With this the report system would have an actual value to each report for the creators so we can find and fix bugs for those who don't want to join a Discord channel for every world they play in

[shy sleet]

okay so I'm making a world with a barracks area, but I can't seem to find out how to make a laydown for the beds, can someone explain how, or link me a asset?

[shy sleet]

figured out a basic ver. nvm

[kind leaf]

You can provide your discord link in the description or in the world and tell people to report issues there. The report feature is absolute garbage but if you test your worlds before uploading then you wont ever have any reports except for the first. If you don't have Quest, find a quest friend to test your stuff.

[dusk sapphire]

You'd be surprised how often worlds get bogus reports, and more often than not its users reporting the world for the actions of players and their avatars, which have nothing to do with the world itself.

[fallen wren]

what does reporting a world do?

[kind leaf]

Q: How does a world fail out of Community Labs?
A: If a world is reported, it will be investigated. If a world breaks the Terms of Service, is malicious, or some other report is sent that is valid, it will be removed from Labs. The same goes for Public worlds.

[fallen wren]

do worlds have to go into labs first before getting to public? (I started my journey on making worlds last weekend so i know almost nothing)

[kind leaf]

yes, you upload to labs and when its approved it becomes public

[fallen wren]

thanks

so the report goes to VRChat staff and to the uploader of the world? or just to VRC?

[kind leaf]

🤷‍♂️ never had one

[dusk sapphire]

both presumably, world authors can see reports show up as additional tags when looking at their world page on the website

[sullen turret]

What happened to my mirrors

[kind leaf]

unless you changed something with the mirror I lean towards a bug. Try restarting Unity, nogo? Tyr clearing the gi cache and then restarting. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GICache.html
