you just answered your own question 😛 The avatar hitox is 2m, so if your door is less by a fraction you are going to have issues. Add a standard unity cube to the scene, set its y scale to 2. Now you have a reference.

[lunar nimbus]

All avatars have the same hitbox?

I would assume it would be scaled to size

[kind leaf]

🤷‍♂️ I collide with all the same shit in a Lucas the spider as I do in my 7ft tall dbd freddy krueger crouching or not. I recon the actual hitbox and the player outline when selecting someone are actually different because that indicator does scale. Doesnt matter because 2 unity cubes tall is the scale that works 🙂

[sleek beacon]

thanks for this. So, what about streaming from twitch? Can Quest have a feed stream in from twitch using this same set up?

[kind leaf]

nope, but you can with @desert python's setup. Its a custom alt to protv that they are perfecting but if you are real nice maybe they will let you beta test it. Worth a shot anyway.

[sleek beacon]

That would be pretty handy. Im finding the addition of quest to the VR line up to be the one they shouldnt have pursued. Its like a side step in a backwards direction. Quest is really making my world difficult atm. Ill reach out and try my luck with literally. Thanks for that

[kind leaf]

This is true, but money talks. It's not an issue to support Quest, just an issue to merge the two. No/most cross platform AAA is allowing mobile to play along side pc because it's apples and oranges. But it's a learning experience for sure and semi worth it from a development perspective.

Once the cpu gpu tech evolve we wont have any issues like this. In saying that, hasnt apple developed an ultra fast low power mobile cpu in the last year or so?

[kind leaf]

I Try not to pay attention to what they do until they drop the whole culture act lol. I pay for quality and not image 😛 But seriously, even mobile modern phones can handle more than quest. Quest took a lot of shortcuts to get the price as low as possible and it shows. No cpu/gpu sold by apple is going to have a lower pricetag than the Wish(dot)com chips facebook used.

[sleek beacon]

I sent @desert python a message but seems they have messages blocked.

[desert python]

we dont technically have a way to auto resolve streaming just yet, like the idea for it is there but in order to do streams can be done with streamlink or ytdl as well

[sleek beacon]

yeah, im not a big apple fan either....but the tech seems legit

[desert python]

oh hi

[sleek beacon]

ah hey

haha

stream link you say?

Ill have to look into those

[desert python]

ha sorry, been busy recreating the meroom for alt space and in udon while reworking UI for something else lol

[sleek beacon]

all good 🙂

[desert python]

yep, i believe: "pwn.sh" brings up a hosted version of streamlink, that should be an older version but should work.... for assurence-- highly recommend downloading the latest vers or just downloading ytdl

[kind leaf]

7hdZsFtyxP is the discord id for ArchiTechAnon's community keep an eye on that channel because when a streaming breakthrough is made I'm sure it will be posted there.

[bold ibex]

Anyone have a good alternative for 'OnTimer' for UDON? need it to work similar to the sdk 2 version

[kind leaf]

not sure what the sdk2 trigger does but if you can read script and can figure out how to translate it to graph I can type up a quick timer.

[severe pier]

What do you guys usually set your run/walk speeds to in your worlds?

[kind leaf]

i like 4 & 6

[bold ibex]

Hellow, i dont know how Ask this but i have a game project and i whant comission somone for make the World if possible <3

Thanks, Ill look into this too

[hollow moon]

👋🏿 Howdy, I am here to ask for help because my brain has been struggling with this for 2+ hours.
I'm trying to get a simple game object toggle working with Unity's base UI toggle. I can click the toggle and the checkmark will come on/off just fine, but it isn't linked to the mirror object and I can't figure out why it's Not Doing The Thing. Here' what I'm workin' with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[warm cargo]

I'm having a gotcha when trying to apply the skybox to a sphere. It shows up in my scene view, but not in my game view.

Any idea of issues when applying skybox to a 200m sphere?

[kind leaf]

yes, if it moves, no static

[mild spade]

When working with toggles, you select the first option (SetActive) And not the other options (setActive (Bool)

[hollow moon]

Ohoooooo. I see. Thanks so much!
Now to just fix this up and pray that generating lightmap uvs doesn't crash me.

[hollow moon]

Thanks mods (as in moderators)

waddles back in
Another question!
I've been trying to generate lightmap UVs for a hot minute to no avail. I click Apply, and then it just gives the "Importing" popup window with no progress indefinitely. I just switched to progressive GPU lightmapper, if that affects it at all. Currently watching Unity be deathly still. The world itself is a singular fbx which might have something to do with it - it's small, but the pillows are a little beefy polygon-wise. I guess my main question is, how long do these things typically take?

...This probably should've gone in lighting

[near escarp]

beefy how ?

[hollow moon]

High poly count. Maybe 2k total? I don't wanna open blender and risk making something explode on my computer lol

[near escarp]

lol 2k is nothing at all

If it was millions yeah it would take a while

2k should be instant

[hollow moon]

Hmmm, I wonder what's up. My pc parts aren't exactly brand new but I can run vrchat just fine, hypothetically lightmap uv generation should be easy peasy.

[near escarp]

If it's causing an issue, you can just create an additional UVMap for the object in blender that'll be used for the lightmap

can use smart uv unwrap

[hollow moon]

🤔 Time to research. Thanks for the tip!

[near escarp]

If you remove the collider, no one can pick it up

[ancient rain]

Hello, I was wondering as to how the entire Mondstadt map from Genshin Impact was brought into VRChat? I have the files I could datamine, but did the person who create the world actually assemble every prop and part of the world? Because they're technically separated into different chunks for optimization. Is there any way I could do it myself without tedious assembly?

I hope I'm not stepping over any line here. I think I am though in terms of ripping files.

[frank rapids]

Hey, I just start downloading the VRChat kits, I am try to test play it but how do it? Unity3D game mode don’t do anything.

[mint steeple]

is there any working video player right now for unity 2019

[fallen wave]

Rule 9 unfortunately says no discussion of ripped files, so even if I knew how they did it, I couldn’t help you :')

Unless, like, DMs or something.

[loud talon]

USharpVideo, and probably a couple more

[kind leaf]

I use Wolfe without complaint. https://vrchat.nishawolfe.com/prefabs/videoplayer

[jovial lark]

Is there a Udon Ban System?, I've seen people use them in there world's but I can't find it.

[bold ibex]

so has anyone came accross this problem ? where the build pannel is blank?

[kind leaf]

Not really. A ban system is "faked". You have a room away from all activities with a teleport location inside. Get the player name and switch their spawn point to the room. You have on playerjoin check if the player name matches a name on the list and send them back to the room. So respawn doesnt help them. Try #udon-general if you need help with any step in that setup.

[jovial lark]

Oh alrighty, thank you!

[kind leaf]

you can also add other effects like player mute if the player name is on the "ban" list

[jovial lark]

And if the person is malicious is there any way to prevent them leaving said room?

[kind leaf]

setting their spawn point and checking onplayerjoin for their name permanently locks them to the room away from all until you remove their name from the list

[jovial lark]

Oh alright, thank you!

[sick drift]

is there a simple guide or converter for making world quest ready?

[bold ibex]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-optimization

TLDR at least have the decency to make your avatar better than very poor performance rank and you have to use the vrchat mobile shaders for all your materials on your quest build

and u cant have transparency

[ancient rain]

Sorry for being unaware of the rules. And for DMs, mind if we take it there if you know something about how the creator did it? I plan on using the map for an animation and not for publishing. It was just a coincidence that I saw it fully ported into VRChat.

[fallen wave]

I have no idea how they did it, sorry. I more so said that in case someone else did.

[clear sentinel]

is there a gameobjects limit?

[swift trench]

in a world with no gravity
if i rotate the player: can i have the player walk up a wall

[clear sentinel]

no?

[swift trench]

right new question

does udon let me take pure joystick input

[errant beacon]

might be something for #udon-general instead o:
you can get the directional X and Y axes, though

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/input-events

[fast python]

Question: Any way to rewrite this to be blue instead of black?

I'm not familiar with shaders and the code is very complicated to me

[lost breach]

Simple question... is there any way to have two clients launched on the actual game for testing my world? I'm looking for the ability to test with two clients, but I need one of them to join after some time has passed to check sync. Can I just have two accounts and two clients?

(similar to how you can do in the SDK control panel to launch multiple clients, but I need one to show up much later.

[lost breach]

figured it out. two accounts, launching one from command line with --no-vr works

[woeful wraith]

is there a website for assets for world building? i remember i found one but i cant find it anymore

Anyone else getting problems trying to update 2.0 maps

[uncut schooner]

Anyone out there who could help me with Audio Link ? Trying to install the unitypack but already got an error..... "System.Exception: User type AudioLinkMiniPlayer could not be found" any fix ?

[desert python]

anyone having trouble staying logged in? and logging back in

[bold ibex]

hi, so im trying to update my u# video player but every time i do it udon has a stroke and dies

and dont say it's because im using unity 2018, this happens with 2019 aswell

now every udon program has this

[karmic totem]

Can anyone point me in the direction on how to make a toggle button for camera Post FXs in a world?

[desert python]

are you updating udonsharp before or after the videoplayer?

[bold ibex]

im just doing the video player

[uncut schooner]

USharpVideo doesnt work for me, anyone got the same problem ? No errors at all, just a black screen and i cant play an url

[ancient rain]

Gotcha. Sorry for bothering and thanks for the info.

[bold ibex]

@bold ibex@uncut schooner If you haven't already go to the Udon# discord and mention the problems there and anyone else who is going through something similar

[bold ibex]

Any solutions for broken depth of field visuals from the latest 2019 update?

Doesn't really seem like there's any.

[mint steeple]

i did use usharpvideo

it did work

but the screen is broken

it just a big pink thing

saying shader have something that can't be use

[karmic totem]

It seems like it would be obvious but I can't find much info for this via google. I just need a button to toggle the cameras post FX on/off

[tight tulip]

My unity completely broke

[bold ibex]

Elaborate pls

we can't halp unless we know the details

[tight tulip]

I can’t migrate my projects I do everything correctly and they crash every time I open the project and it dose the same thing when I make a new one

?

[long spruce]

Getting this error while trying upload anyone have any advise?

scene-StandaloneWindows64-SampleScene.vrcw does not exist

[bold ibex]

Do you have "cmd.exe" in your system32

this is a serious question btw

last person had unity crashes often and it ended up they were missing essential files in their system32 somehow dont ask me

[kind leaf]

It is obvious, just follow any toggle tutorial . You don't need to toggle the effect if you can toggle the game object the effect is setup on. You can also setup your effects to be one per game object.

[tight tulip]

I’m not sure but I can only open my tower world nothing else

[bold ibex]

what unity version

and in the one project that works what red errors are showing in the unity console

does it talk about missing a dependency somewhere located in windows files

[tight tulip]

2019 and nope

[tight tulip]

?

[kind leaf]

Sdk3 doesn't use triggers. It uses udon. See youtube for sdk3 tutorials

[runic pike]

It says this when I press build and test...

[kind leaf]

That hault means scripts were still compiling when you tried to build. Slow down....

[tight tulip]

I’m having a serious issue it feels like I’m being ignored

I just wanna be able to work on avatar stuff again

[kind leaf]

Ignored? You have come every day with the same error "unknown platform". Everyday someone has tried to assist you. That is not a world issue or and SDK issue or a vrchat issue, yet kind people have tried to assist you. Try googling the Unity Discord and ask them.

[runic pike]

I waited 10 mins and it still saying

[kind leaf]

aside from that do you have any errors?

[runic pike]

No

I delted the wolfe video player and it worked

[kind leaf]

If no errors than save and restart unity. or not...

[runic pike]

and i imported it back and it say same thing

kk

[royal vessel]

so is it okay to set everything as reflection probe batch static?

[dusk sapphire]

yes

[royal vessel]

well all the stuff i want to show up which is at this time about everything

[dusk sapphire]

you will also want to set everything that is static as batching static to take advantage of unity's batching system

and probably read watch a light baking guide at one point, like that in #world-lighting

[royal vessel]

hmm it didnt work i have the probe scene over the map and batching it aint working

[dusk sapphire]

did you hit bake after changing it?

[royal vessel]

yeah i changed it to reflection probe static and that worked but not batch

[dusk sapphire]

the options are not mutually exclusive, you want both

[royal vessel]

there isnt 2 but oh well the last one is working

[dusk sapphire]

you can select more than one option https://nyanpa.su/i/ouFN1w60.jpg

batching tells unity to batch objects with the same meshes/materials together, like your multiple copies of trees

tl;dr helps with performance

[royal vessel]

oh well in selecting batching then selecting reflection probe i DID do that, thought it only checked one

cause i went and checked and yeah thats how mine look now also it WORKED

so i guess withotu light probes it didnt like realtime

[dusk sapphire]

light probes are typically for baked lighting

the cause of your black mirror was because your reflection probe was set to realtime with refresh on awake

[royal vessel]

yeah lighting is not my forte' its definately one hell of an artform i have respect for

ill probably have to keep my old mirrors on quest as since these are special shaders quest probably cant use it

[kind leaf]

quest cant use the dummy part no, but the mirror itself is fine

[dusk sapphire]

if you have any networked/sync'd objects in your map, you'll want to keep the hierarchy between quest and pc identical so make sure you're disabling things and not removing them completely from the hierarchy

[bold ibex]

hi
What is this and how can i fix it?

i'm unable to try out the world

[dusk sapphire]

just hit ignore

[bold ibex]

it did not fixed it ;-;

[severe pier]

After baking my lights, they've all gone completely dark? Anyone know how to fix this?

[round sandal]

where can i find the assets for the pens/markers?

[round sandal]

you could probs go to #world-lighting

[severe pier]

I posted there first

[round sandal]

ah

unfortunate

[kind leaf]

if ignore doesnt work (it should) a lot of people have found luck just pressing the red x

[bold ibex]

did not fixed it ;-;

it does not even start up

i mean i cannot test it

[kind leaf]

think its calculated monthly (dont quote me on that). But as traffic increases the heat will go back up. You probably just had an unfortunate down turn on the traffic. As long as you don't delete your world and reupload, all stats remain and continue being analyzed.

but if its always the same or mostly the same people... We dont know what vrchat counts.

[kind leaf]

Unfortunately I have yet to see an actual solution to your issue. If you have no errors I would suggest just saving and restarting unity. If you have errors then we have someplace to work. Other than that, that's all the advice I can give you.

[dusk sapphire]

Heat resets every 2 weeks, starting on the date of the worlds creation, from my observations

Its done intentionally so the "Hot" worlds row is constantly rotated

[bold ibex]

thank you @kind leaf anyways 🙂

[bold ibex]

wich SDK are you using?

[round sandal]

sdk3

[bold ibex]

is it compatible with quest?

[round sandal]

what, sdk3?

yeah

[bold ibex]

cool ok i'll try that out

[round sandal]

yeah uhh

nice have fun

[bold ibex]

🐧

[round sandal]

ive been sitting here the entire day waiting for a response

if somebody doesnt help i am going to

to be sad

the only thing i found was that old ass unity 2018 tutorial which im really unsure if itll work and the booth page for qv pens which is

am i supposed to know what "VRChatのワールド用のペンセットです。消しゴム機能も付いています。" means?

it looks like theres at least 2 writing systems lost somewhere in that line

whatever ill just make a backup and the violently bash the japanese assets against my world project file until it sticks

no i do need to yell mr dyno, you are mistaken

i do indeed feel like all caps is perfectly justified

[kind leaf]

did you install UdonSharp?

[round sandal]

wait is that a whole separate thing?

i thought it was included in sdk3

like the event system in sdk2

[kind leaf]

no Udon is. UdonSharp is more like C# 😉

[round sandal]

ah yeah

i thought they just

were the same code with different presentation

[kind leaf]

Most prefabs use UdonSharp because its what we know.

[round sandal]

or smth

fair enough

tbh if i had to code smth, id much rather

yknow

[kind leaf]

https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp

[round sandal]

code it

instead of

graph it or whatever

[round sandal]

thanks

[kind leaf]

🙂

best to remove QV and then install sharp, then add qv back

[round sandal]

yeah i already removed it the moment it started throwing red things

...i hate it here

its got its own tailor made "go to hell" messages too!?

[kind leaf]

unity 2019.4.29f1 + Latest sdk3 right?

[round sandal]

yep

and Qv Pen v3.0.1.4

[kind leaf]

oh ok so it wasnt U# that gave the 202 errors it was adding qv pens back?

[round sandal]

yeah, no, U# gave the 202 errors, i fixed them, added qv back, and got 21 brand new errors

[kind leaf]

ah

[round sandal]

i dont know if theres any weird setup thing im missing because i dont speak japanese

[kind leaf]

use chrome, has a translate feature 😛

[round sandal]

i am, it thinks that the page is in english for some reason and is only offering to translate it to hungarian (which is my native lang)

which ive tried

(bot wont let me send it because spam)

[kind leaf]

pissin off the bot lol

send me the qv link, ill see what i get

[round sandal]

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

this bot is a mistake of human technological development

[kind leaf]

requires
● Standard Assets
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/asset-packs/standard-assets-for-unity-2017-3-32351?locale=ja-JP
that as well

[round sandal]

fun fact: while all caps may express shouting, it is not actually shouting as it is no louder than a normal text message, it occupies the same amount of characters and screen space and is also just as readable as lowercase, there is literally no reason to ban it other than to piss the users off

[round sandal]

isnt that for sdk2?

[kind leaf]

maybe, my spacing is off. Standard assets are unity only, have nothign to do with vrchat

[round sandal]

like standard assets is for 2018.4 and like half the stuff in there throws red errors

[kind leaf]

but some standard assets will cause errors so beware

[round sandal]

(or so i recall from using it with unity 2020 back in the day)

btw

[kind leaf]

honestly, everyone finding qv pens this past week has had issues. Ied try another

[round sandal]

i am 🤏 this close to just making my own pens

with blackjack and hookers

[kind leaf]

lol so the starter kit comes with pens, they arnt super purdy but they work.

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

[dusk sapphire]

standard assets is only for sdk2, and won't run on sdk3 worlds

the qvpen prefab for sdk3 should work by itself with udonsharp installed

[round sandal]

yeah well it

it doesnt

i have spent my entire day trying to get this to work

i need to work out and do a lot of projects that have deadlines for today

and also have time to rest and game

and i havent because i spent my entire day on this

i am going to go insane

and there was literally no progress made apart from like the 3d model for the pen

[bold ibex]

ok with SDK3 its working thank you again robo

[round sandal]

np

[bold ibex]

Are there any good free pen assets?

anyone got an idea what could cause the water reflections to behave like this? everytime i move my camera up or down, it flickers. There is only one reflectionprobe in the middle of the water plane so technically it shouldn't be affected by anything else

@round sandal try deleting udonsharp and the qvpen from your world, see if you have any errors (i didnt) then reimport udonsharp, and then qvpen

that worked for me when i was getting issues with qvpen

none of the scripts were on the objects so it wouldnt work

[round sandal]

its already fixed, basically made my own pens

but thanks anyways

does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Do you have multiple realtime lights ?

[near escarp]

Press ignore

[bold ibex]

no realtime lights at all. It's all baked lighting baked with bakery

[chilly aurora]

i do, but then when i go to upload unity just crashes

[near escarp]

Did you bake occlusion in your world ?

[near escarp]

Would need to send that crash report to Unity in that case, make sure to check your console when you open your project back up

[bold ibex]

i didn't, no. at least i don't think i did. Got "Occlusion Probes" unchecked in my bakery settings

[chilly aurora]

yeah ive been told that a few times, ill check again thought thank you

[near escarp]

Occlusion culling is its own window and a different thing, but if you didn't do it then it'd be something else, i would suggest reaching out to Silent directly, she might know what's up

Would anybody happen to know why now when I’m importing my FBX file for my world into Unity the import often takes 30 minutes or longer? It’s at best a 15mb (300,000 polys) FBX file for a world and it seems to almost get longer to do the import each time. Any help is appreciated.

I know that deleting the library folder could potentially fix it but I wanna make sure before I do a super long fix for something that may be a simpler solution.

[bitter idol]

Sounds like errors in the fbx or corruption. Also a 15mb fbx is huge so would take a while

I've had really scuffed fbxs that took forever to import before

[silent night]

Fair but…I have other worlds that are that large but don’t take even a fraction as long

Although it only seems to occur with projects where I’ve used hair particle systems for grass or rocks

[bitter idol]

It sounds like errors or corruption. Maybe use a program like noesis to check and fix errors

[kind leaf]

yep

[bitter idol]

Noesis is great for fixing fbx files instantly

Or at least improving them

[silent night]

I’ll take a check. Have you got a link at all?

[bitter idol]

No and the website looks kind of weird but I promise it's a legit program aha

World Development Life lesson [ALWAYS BACKUP]
Just finished my Jam project, cloned it, and converted the clone to quest. Went back and renamed the pc version to Name_PC for organization. Loaded it back up in unity and it crashed on serialization destroying Unity's ability to load the project again. Fixed it by creating a new project and just importing the assets folder from the corrupt project. But still, 5 hours before I attempted that. It's real easy to forget to backup your projects when you are on a roll.

[red urchin]

hi! makin a new world from scratch, wondering about polygon count and mesh collider

i know mesh colliders can be bad on a lot of moving objects, but how about on a still mesh like this?

it would be the world, and that tiny purple object is an example avatar for scale

[green lagoon]

you would probably want a second version of the mesh that's even more low-poly to be your Collision

[red urchin]

i was actually just thinking of that haha

ya supposes that's the move

thank you!

[green lagoon]

like you don't need a hundred triangles for a wall for your Collision

[red urchin]

right right

and blender crashes

better?

[green lagoon]

could be lower

[red urchin]

and i can just remove any polys at cave entrances to make it for sure you can get in too

this works thank you!

[green lagoon]

glad to be of help and I suppose if you wanted to try even lower poly the decimate by angle could work?

[red urchin]

i think this'll work, dont wanna go any lower or there'll be a lot of clipping into dirt

[near escarp]

The first pic wasn't honestly bad for mesh collider, given the size

And if you're worried, you can have multiple mesh colliders that you removed the mesh renderer component's off of

[silent night]

Hm. This program doesn't really seem to do much besides let me view it...There's a universal debugger but there's zero stuff I can find on how to use it. Any other ideas?

[bitter idol]

no as soon as you open it it fixes errors, then go to the top options and re export it

[silent night]

https://gyazo.com/e6be432a295ed85c67103b63fb08f1b9 Is this what this is supposed to look like?

[runic pike]

Is there a way to have different post processing in different rooms?

[bitter idol]

yes it should have autofixed stuff upon opening, can you re export it from there?

[silent night]

I can export it, yeah.

[bitter idol]

yeah that should help.

its saved my butt a couple times with fbxs that are just broken or dont work correctly in blender due to errors. Noesis fixed them

[silent night]

Well, it seems to import a lot faster but...I have to replace ALL of the textures again, and for some reason some of the models like, got changed? I had a few stars and they turned into 4 sided weird things o.o

[desert python]

anyone know how to make it so when uploading, it doesnt auto pause

[severe pier]

I've never had that happen before

what is auto pause?

[desert python]

me neither, i honestly didnt even knew that was a feature, i think.

[near escarp]

autopause is useful when trying to get to specific errors

[severe pier]

Edit -> Project settings -> Player
Check "Run In Background".

[near escarp]

but in the case of vrc, it prevents uploading

[desert python]

like its on playmode right, trying to upload and its at "getting file record" and then it puases. and its been doing this for a bit and im not sure what i somehow ticked to get it onto to autopause as its getting pretty saucy

[severe pier]

@desert python this should solve it

[desert python]

k

ok so problem 2> its stuck on "getting file record"

is there a way to force unpause?

cus i really dont want to TM this lol

[severe pier]

hitting the play button?

[desert python]

gets overrided by the "Uploading asset bundle" tab

which isnt progressing, and i cannot cancel it

[severe pier]

hm. not sure, I'm not familiar enough with unity

[desert python]

theres also been other randomness occuring, like the inspector is in like perminant locked mode and selecting game objects in the scene doesnt highlight it in the hierarchy

thats alright... i think its time for a reinstall

[severe pier]

could be fixed with time machine if you have the option

[desert python]

ye

[severe pier]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/hierarchy-folders.784076/

Has anyone used these Hierarchy Folders before and does it interfere with VRChat uploads?

[kind leaf]

Yes, when you setup the Post Processing Volume there is a global toggle. If that is not checked, the Post processing is enabled based on the weight scale as you get close to the gameobject the volume is attached to. I'ed suggest looking up youtube tutorials on Unity Post Processing Volumes 2018 .... 2018 because after other pipelines become standard and we don't use a pipeline.

[bitter idol]

Strange o.o but it did do something so... I'm not sure but it's a step in the right direction I think?

[harsh beacon]

Hello. I'm looking for a way to amplify the speaker's voice in the world. Any examples of that?

[undone ravine]

Hi, I am having issues with my world. I am trying to make a new world so I spent a good 4 hours making it and I want to save it for later. But when I hit save it won't save to any file. What do I do?

[hardy remnant]

prob baka, but anyone have the QvPens? i know the download is free, but every time i install it into my project, it is broken, and nothing works, the buttons are shined out, and none of the scripts are imported within the prefab ><
i have no idea where any of the scripts would go either ><
so if anyone could maybe help either by explaining or by DM'ing me a working prefab they have maybe tested or just know that works? im using udon 3.0 world sdk ><

[neon heart]

QVPens rn are broken, If you search the name you will see a bunch of people having problems. I also had problems with it I would suggest you just wait for a fix or find an alternative.

Does anybody know how to fix this? I was having this problem a few weeks back and it fixed its self but now its back and I'm lost, Its been 2 days of this

This is the console after I hit okay

[dusk sapphire]

Not sure why people are having issues with QVPens, seems to work for me in 2019.4.29f1 https://nyanpa.su/i/wu2l1wDa.jpg
Might need to do a reimport if you're upgrading a project from unity 2018 that already had them imported to restore missing u# script references.

[hardy remnant]

tyty ><

[neon heart]

Yea its a bit of a yikes. I was playing with them earlier this week and I couldn't find a fix. That being said Temporals suggestion might be an option

[dusk sapphire]

And as always, make sure you're on the latest version of the vrcsdk and udonsharp

https://nyanpa.su/i/48XK1wFr.jpg

Fresh project, works

[neon heart]

Hmm

[dusk sapphire]

you might also need to delete the prefab in the scene and place it back down after a reimport, if the issue was the missing usharp script references

especially if you had unpacked it

[neon heart]

I did that, I completely removed it from my project then reimported it and still had the issue, I was also in the boat of I did upgrade but I didn't have Udon sharp or QV in my project until I upgraded to 2019 and did a bunch of work on it.
I will have another look at it and try your suggestion again I think if I can ever get past my upload file corrupt problem.

[dusk sapphire]

I've had them happen like maybe once in a blue moon and just had to try again, not sure what would cause it to be persistent

have you tried uploading to a new blueprint to rule out an issue with that world id?

[neon heart]

Yes I have, I get the same problem, I had this 2 weeks ago to but it fixed its self and I have no idea how.
I've tried getting rid of all unity cache files, new blue print, reinstalling SDK and Udon sharp, Tried uploading over Wifi instead of Ethernet and still no luck, I've even cleaned up my console so that the only errors I get are related to the failed upload, I had some UI animations that were giving me warnings before but never got in the way and I got rid of the animations for now and still got the error

Genuinely lost

Thats the console after I try and upload, Get a fail and hit ok

This problem started for me around the time the BETA came out for Unity 2019. Ever since then been getting this problem on and off while also having super slow upload times. My world to is only 50mb. Its not particularly big

[dusk sapphire]

If I had to guess, when the file is uploaded, the sdk checks that the uploaded file hash matches what you have locally, and returns that error if it doesn't match.

[random owl]

Can you show the full trace of the error when you select the one that says corrupt file record

[neon heart]

I certainly can but I would have to upload it again to reproduce the error and follow it. Going by my experience it would be about 20-30 mins from now.

I will start the upload now

[neon heart]

If that is the case any idea how I would go about sorting it?

[dusk sapphire]

can you try running https://packetlosstest.com/

[neon heart]

I know a bit about it but I assume this is a problem?

[dusk sapphire]

if your packets are being dropped during upload that could be a problem yeah

[neon heart]

Are those results bad?

I was on the wrong server, Now its set to my region

[dusk sapphire]

you generally don't want to see packet loss, i'm getting 0%

this may or may not be the cause of your upload issues, i'm unsure if the protocol used in the upload process handles dropped packets

[neon heart]

Hmm, I'm uploading now I will try to look into it on my end in the meantime

[modern python]

does what i import into my unity project increase the filesize of the world in vrchat or will vrchat only use stuff in the scene

[kind leaf]

just the stuff in the scene (active or inactive) .

[umbral needle]

Hello folks! Is there any way to sync animations in SDK3 yet? And if not has anyone found any workarounds?

[kind leaf]

depends on the complexity of the animation. If its a door you can sync the bool state. Anything complex you will nee to look into animation length and converting the length and position in the length to a float that is synced and setting the position of the animation to match the synced floats.

[undone ravine]

Hi, could someone please help? I am trying to make my first VRChat world and I spent a good 4 hours on building it and I want to save it. I'm not done yet but I want to save it so I can close the app. But when I hit save, it won't save to any file

[umbral needle]

Aaah alright! Shot in the dark - are there any reference graphs for that? Alternatively as it's a ride I'm trying to animate, maybe I can cheat it by having a "Still" and "Active" animation and sync the boolean between them within the animator

[kind leaf]

if there is no star then it is saved. It doesnt open up a save window. When you created the project you created the save file, just pressing save or ctrl s saves it

[undone ravine]

I know but when I hit save it brings me to my files and then it wont save when I hit save to file. I don't know what to do

[kind leaf]

no error on save? The only logical issue would be improper drive permissions.

[undone ravine]

Like I have other projects that I bailed on and they save perfectly fine. Except this one

[kind leaf]

not that I am aware of. I only use U#. But with a ride, yes the only part you need to sync is when the car is in bay and not moving. With just that you should have proper functionality. Anything else is just bragging rights.

Late joiners will see weird shit, but as soon as the car is back in bay everyone will be on the same animation again and then it will look right to everyone in the world

[undone ravine]

Wait what did you mean by "if there is no star"

[kind leaf]

I dont have a screenshot. The Open scene with unsaved data has an astrix * by its name and one at the top in the title. If that * is not there it is saved.

[undone ravine]

This?

[kind leaf]

yep right at the end of Personal is a *. So yes, you project has not been saved lol. Did you try saving to other locations?

nvm, that wouldnt work anyway. Not without issues

[undone ravine]

Yes I have. It mainly brings me to the new unity project file

[kind leaf]

Yeah, so ied try the unity discord and ask them. Or google. Their discord can be found by Googling Unity Discord. The only thing I can do/say at this point is hindsight: 4 hours between saves is a good way to lose your hard work. A power outage/flicker can happen any second in countries with excellent power distribution why take the chance.

[vague remnant]

Man, looking at these is pretty neat.... makes me wish I could gain motivation to try my hand at my project again...

[hard lance]

Is it possible for a single VRC World to use multiple Unity scenes?

[kind leaf]

No

[red urchin]

when this happened to me after updating my world to 2019, i had to completely remove udonsharp and the pens, i reimported the sdk (just in case) then put in sharp and then the pens again and it finally worked for me

[hard lance]

Yea, I had a thing that used udonsharp and broke with the update. I had to update sharp, then reimport the object to fix the script references.

[kind leaf]

Looks normal to me, unless I am not noticing something. What makes you think it's wrong?

ok so you setup an event in U# right?

public void ButtonToggle() {} or something like that

On click press the +

drag n drop the button into the gameobject spot that is now present

for the action scroll to custom event

type the event name case matters

this is for a slider and a button, dont pay attention to the U# scripting unless you can get something out of it. Pay attention to the on click setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWU7ckfkUrw

Nothing will happen until the On Click is setup. Cant even test for bugs in your script because it's not being called. The screenshot you shared has it as blank.

Also, don't forget the VRC ui shape component that gets attached to the canvas. w/o this the button will function in Unity but not in game.

[willow canyon]

Can probuilder be used with VRChat? Since I flipped my normals on the room I'm making and all the textures are visible in Unity, but not visible in Vrchat

[kind leaf]

probuilder works fine with vrc. Is it the shader you are using?

[willow canyon]

I'm not using any shaders

Unless we're talking just "standard" unity material shaders

[kind leaf]

standard is not a double sided shader. If you are trying to see your material on both side of the face it wont happen unless you use a double sided shader.

[willow canyon]

where do I find these>

?*

[kind leaf]

asset store, google. I think ToonLit has a double sided option.

[green lagoon]

I would note that double-sided would be less optimal than just duplicating the faces you want to see the back of

[unkempt turtle]

or just flip normals to get them on the outside

[willow canyon]

Wait, so essentially, the most efficient way of rendering a room

doesn't work in a game known for how un-optimised it is

[green lagoon]

typically walls in games would have the normals facing on the interior not use a two-sided Shader

or have two planes one for the outside and one for the inside if it's a wall piece that you see both sides of

[willow canyon]

That's what I'm doing at this exact moment

[green lagoon]

cool

[willow canyon]

I can see the textures in unity, they work fine. But not in vrchat for some reason

[green lagoon]

strange and I'm not too knowledgeable on probuilder to know what's up

[willow canyon]

Alright, still thanks for trying to help me

[kind leaf]

if its not the shader then its the probuilder object data. You should export proBuilder objects when you are done editing, if you dont they technically don't exist outside of that editor. https://unity-technologies.github.io/procore-legacy-docs/probuilder/probuilder2-gh-pages/toolbar/object-actions/#export

[willow canyon]

This fixed the issue, I cannot thank you enough

[sleek swift]

is there a music tutorial for udon that allows me to put multiple songs that the user can choose from?

[sleek beacon]

Hi all! How can I use an API in VR Chat?
I have an API for a webpage which plays music from soundcloud and displays gifs one after another.
How can i make it so I can display this as a texture on a plane to look like a video player with sound?

[kind leaf]

You can't. Video/Audio streaming links or direct download only. You cannot access say google.com from within vrchat as a standard user. That ability is reserved for special situations(Staff, Partners, etc)

[sleek beacon]

But Ive seen url inputs in VR Chat. Are those only for video players?

[green lagoon]

yes

[sleek beacon]

😢 thats sad...

[kind leaf]

yes it is sad. blame the bad guys that made it so.

[green lagoon]

yeah there's no in-app web browser of any sort like those prefab calendars that show events are basically very very slow video players

[sleek beacon]

😭

[sleek beacon]

When you say "That ability is reserved for special situations", so there IS a way? Its just blocked in some way? How does one become a partner?

[kind leaf]

not the person to ask lol. If I knew ied have a working browser 😛

Ied imagine it would have something to do with contacting the PR ppl and brining in a ton of players and profit.

[sleek beacon]

What is the current player base abouts?

[kind leaf]

I have no clue what vrc demographics look like. Never bothered to look it up or ask.

[sleek beacon]

about 24k

Im in a group of about 8k and Im sure at least 50% of them will want to see what Im making.
Do you know who I could contact to talk about partner?

[kind leaf]

nope, not even sure that would work. But if thats your hunt Ied start by searching the vrc contact page.

nope

[jagged mason]

I'm making an unpublished world, and decided to try to test it in VR. When I did, however, the hand tracking was off and I could see through my arms. Is this a normal problem, or a test world thing? When I went back to my published home world, everything was fine...

[kind leaf]

thats normally cause by camera clipping. Make sure your scene descriptor has a reference camera (Main Camera) and the main camera's near is 0.01.

[jagged mason]

Oh, thank you! I had no idea that cameras could do that. By the main camera's near, you mean global position?

[kind leaf]

no, you'll see it... there is a near and a far setting

by default it is 0.3 i think

[jagged mason]

Cool, thanks! I'll see if that fixed it.

Incredible, thank you!

That had me panicked big time

[nimble geode]

so i like put down the vrc world prefab for a world i making in sdk 2 and it keeps saying i don't have a scene desciptor

when i put it there in the spot i wanted on the world

i confused i was able to test the world

[bold ibex]

What red errors are generating in the unity console?

Also what version of unity and did you just dl this sdk off the website?

[nimble geode]

i just recently download it off the site

and i on 2019 now

[bold ibex]

ok good

2019.4.29f1?

not 2019.4.28f1 or something else?

[nimble geode]

the correct one i used unity hub link of the vrc docs

[bold ibex]

oh good then

[nimble geode]

yeee

[bold ibex]

so what errors are in the unity console

[bold ibex]

There are no red stop signs? or even yellow warnings?

[bold ibex]

hm

[nimble geode]

imma re enter play mode and see if that finds any errors

[bold ibex]

try

[nimble geode]

Hmmm'

[bold ibex]

still nothing?

[nimble geode]

nopes

[bold ibex]

Are you sure the prefab you dragged into your scene has a vrc_scene_descriptor on it

did u check

[nimble geode]

it looked like did

yee i did

[bold ibex]

double check

try closing and reopening the project

[bold ibex]

seems normal i believe

maybe try removing the pipeline script

and login of course

so u can built and upload

[nimble geode]

ight removed it and it put another one on

Hmmmm still not working

i tried the unity terrian thing for the land is that not supported?

[bold ibex]

They changed up terrain a bit but idk what they did

there might be something with the terrain causing problems but it should tell you

either the unity console or VRC control panel in the builder tab

does adding a vrc scene descriptor to any random object in the scene work?

[nimble geode]

yea i confused it went into test mode just fine

and let me try that

I threw it on a cube it bitched at me for a sec saying i need to add a spawn to the descpitor

then it seemed to add one its self

then went into the publish menu

😕

i guess it work lol

[bold ibex]

odd hmm well i guess this works???

And yeah if you dont specify a spawn i think it just uses itself

so now just make an empty and add the descriptor onto that and put that where u want the spawn

[nimble geode]

ight thens

imma do that

[bold ibex]

hopefully the world turns out like youd imagine!!

If you want you can link it to me once its uploaded, if its intended for a public audience

has it ever been successfully uploaded in that unity project before?

what version of unity are you using exactly? and how recently did you dl the vrchat sdk that u are using with this project

in that same project?

are you using sdk2?

oh ok then

[bold ibex]

.

take your time

do you have anymore red errors than the ones you showed?

ahh allsky script

my first error

Just delete the script the error is referencing and it should work

or try to find it

idk it doesnt reallt say where

kinda

[median briar]

I'm working on a 2019 update for Fiveskies and wanted to remove realtime shadows entirely, but I still need a depth pass for some effects. I've been testing a DOF post effect to enable the pass, but have an issue where blurry bands are visible even when the settings are basically 0.

Here's my setup:

And here's how it looks in game:

Anyone know why it's making those two bands of blur?

[bold ibex]

I was just about to ask the same

is this an ingame screenshot?

or in unity

[median briar]

in game/vr

I've actually seen this happen in other worlds, but never knew it was coming from the DOF effect

for example, just saw this earlier this evening in a world with a blur effect under water:

[bold ibex]

Have you tried checking off the 4 checkboxes inside DOF and seeing if it still persists

or it is just always there no matter what settings you set for DOF

[median briar]

I'll test it real quick

well... as quick as unity loading bars will let me anyway

[bold ibex]

Id test out a bunch of stuff hopefully its like one setting you can isolate and be ok with comprimising off with

yeah at least its faster with uploading on 2019

[median briar]

I don't actually need any DOF, I just want to enable a depth pass

the alternative is to have realtime shadows

which, I think, is less performant

[bold ibex]

Oooh yeah that probably is less

I am not really familar with post processing so

[median briar]

dang... no luck on unchecking the boxes

I figured setting the weight to '0.0001' would have removed it, so yea... an odd issue there

one other thing I was gonna try was to use an animator to disable the volume after the map loaded. Not sure if it'll work, but why not, right?

though in any case, I wish I knew what the cause is.

[bold ibex]

Yeah that bar is particularly annoying lol

mysterious blurry bar

[bold ibex]

yus good good

go upload da best world now

[bold ibex]

how do i make a button wich by clicking it puts a link in the udon video player and starts playing ?

[junior cloak]

Unsure of where to ask so i'll put it here aswell

Yop, is there anyways to simply remove the android build of my world ?
The 50mbs limit is just beyond annoying and I don't feel like maintening two differents world version.

[bold ibex]

delete world and reupload as Windows Only Version

[junior cloak]

^ Don't want to lose the stats / favs on it.

The website should have a simple button to remove a specific version of a world ; It's a bit annoying to not have full control over a content. :(

[jagged mason]

Is 2-4 a good default proximity for player max audio distance? I have no way to test this so I wouldn't know

[desert python]

upload the plane

[main mortar]

Hello. WHere is the marketplace that I can ask for a premade world to be made?

[kind leaf]

for worlds:
https://ask.vrchat.com/c/commissions/world-commissions/34
or https://www.fiverr.com/

[junior cloak]

yeah plane is a way but meh

i'd like it to just not appear in the world list on quest.

[kind leaf]

you can submit a ticket. #vrchat-support

[main mortar]

👍 Thanks.

[junior cloak]

Alright, hoping i'll get an answer this time

[kind leaf]

yeah, busy staff. Longest Ive waited is 3 weeks but I always get a response eventually.

[bold helm]

VRC_PlayerAudioOverride so I am trying to find this script in unity 2019 to add to my world but when i go to add component and i search it up I have no results

[nocturne crown]

so a friend sent me his unity package, how do I make it so when I import it, its set up the way he had it?

do i import it as open scene and it will load in the way he had it?

[kind leaf]

Not sure what you are asking. It will not have their layout. If you want it exactly the way they had it you need them to send the project folder. The root folder that contains the other folders like Assets +. Only then will it be identical.
As for importing, drag n drop it into the Projects window of the open Unity or Up top in the toolbar select Assets and Import and navigate to the project. When completed you find their scene and open it.

[nocturne crown]

so not a unity package but them sending me the project folder gives me everything in scene how they had it right?

[kind leaf]

the scene will be identical in a unitypackage.

[nocturne crown]

ok, sorry if I dont understand fully, but, if I do open scene it will do the trick rather than drag and dropping?

im just making sure i understand before I try

[kind leaf]

you need to import the unitypackage into your current project and then open the scene. Or use their unitypackage to make a new project by double clicking it.

[nocturne crown]

i double clicked it before but i dont think it even worked, but I will try both of those

[kind leaf]

really depends on the structure of the package. if dbl click failed then just import

[nocturne crown]

i found the scene

thank you very much

[scenic plover]

I seem to be missing the vrc scene descriptor script any ideas on how to fix it?

[bold ibex]

reimport the sdk

close and reopen unity

[silent night]

Anyone have any idea on how to make the UI bounding box for selecting smaller? You have to sit a distance away to actually click on the text because the UI shape collides with where your cursor is super far away from the actual text. Is there a way of changing this?

(If that sounds confusing, do apologize)

[graceful bane]

Sometimes when I use the VRC station component so someone can sit; the avatar is shown several meters upwards from were it is supposed to be, if I get up and sit again it works properly, cannot replicate it reliably but I feel it's usually the first time and then it works ok (not always the case though) Any ideas on how to solve it? I'm testing the world, not published yet.

[cursive quail]

Heyo just trying to figure out where the voice falloff settings are on my VRC scene descriptor

From what I read in the docs it should be between the Forbid User Portals and Unity Version

[gloomy thorn]

Is there a method for a mesh with a 2D texture to automatically rotate so that it faces the player?

It is a system used in Hotel Dusk Room 215 for Nintendo DS and I have always wondered how to do it, and now I NEED to do it

[whole eagle]

man i've been looking for a city skybox for a while and i haven't found one that i was actually able to use. does anyone know a good place to find skyboxs or know a good city skybox i can use?

[gloomy thorn]

Shibuya, KH3

But its a Night Time sky

Also, is HDR

4k

xdxd (No joking, it is, literally)

[whole eagle]

would you happen to have a link?

[midnight fulcrum]

guys I am using unity 2019.4.29f1 and VRCSDK3 and I dont have the VRC_trigger script. Can someone help me? Ive tried redownloading the sdk and even trying to see if I have it on an emtpy scene/project but it doesnt work.

[dusk sapphire]

there are no triggers on sdk3, sdk3 uses udon

you'll want to read up on udon, see #udon-info
and if you prefer to the style of working with triggers theres this https://cyanlaser.booth.pm/items/3194594

[midnight fulcrum]

okay thank you!

[gloomy salmon]

hey so i have this world and it's basically a tower and i want to fog near the bottom so that it seems like it's going above the clouds, how do i do that type of fog tho? the fog that's in the lighting tab is kinda weak

[midnight fulcrum]

so how do I test my world in unity, ive seen people just go to game in unity, start the animation and be able to move

yes you can, just make and animation and record changing the skybox material

[dusk sapphire]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

[gloomy salmon]

and also keep it quest compatible? 🥴

[near escarp]

That won't do on Quest

[gloomy salmon]

i decided to just do a stack of planes and then increase the alpha as it went down but, idk

[bold ibex]

Yeah that method for sure wont work on quest because of transparency

I want to suggest particles but i feel like its gonna be a whole hell of a lot of particles

[gloomy salmon]

yeah..

hmm

i mean, i've used cutout before and it works on quest

but on these im using fade

[dusk sapphire]

you can use transparency on quest worlds, you just need to be careful with it for performance concerns

[gloomy salmon]

yeah

i mean this is a very small world, but each plane has it's own material too tho-

[dusk sapphire]

I think the best solution for that is to find a skybox that looks like you're on a layer of clouds perhaps

[gloomy salmon]

hmm

[bold ibex]

hdri haven time

[rain shadow]

You could also try make the lower part of the tower a gradient that fades into the color of the skybox

[gloomy salmon]

how would i do that tho 🤔

[rain shadow]

With a texture and appropriate UVs

[gloomy salmon]

hm

i'll stick with the planes this time, i got them to blend nicely with the udon default skybox

[midnight fulcrum]

thank you so much!

[graceful hull]

Hello? I have some questions.

I'm trying to learn about some stuff, but none of the tutorials I find are helping.

[kind leaf]

What are you trying to learn about?

[graceful hull]

Trying to get a player to slowly move under a plane without going into a falling animation.

[kind leaf]

^ you took it to the correct channel. #udon-general 🙂

[untold pewter]

do any of the file storage sites work with USharpVideo?
google drive and dropbox both fail to play from the url

[desert python]

both should work. however- dropbox is easier to get going on vrc

[kind leaf]

share the dropbox link we will edit it for you so you have a proper working link to test.

[untold pewter]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2rs6n14xww4d3gh/Motionfield - Injection - 01 Injection 1.mp4?dl=0

[kind leaf]

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2rs6n14xww4d3gh/Motionfield - Injection - 01 Injection 1.mp4?dl=0

that will work if your max characters are set high. I recommend renaming all files to 3 letters max

gives a shorter length

[untold pewter]

just says "video error, retrying" in game

[desert python]

https://zapier.com/learn/how-to/generate-direct-dropbox-link/

you may need to allow untrustwd urls

[untold pewter]

allready am

[desert python]

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2rs6n14xww4d3gh/Motionfield - Injection - 01 Injection 1.mp4 try this without dl at the end

[untold pewter]

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2rs6n14xww4d3gh/MI1.mp4

treid shortining the name aswell

still nothing

tried on 3 different players lol

[kind leaf]

that link is perfect, nice and slim. need to look at other causes.

[untold pewter]

could it not having video break it?

do i need to encode it with a static image

[desert python]

wait. are you using h.265?

also, is this just an audiofile?

[untold pewter]

its a mp3 converted to H.265+mp3 MP4 via VLC

[desert python]

hmm h.265 might be the culprit. but if its just audio. you could just use vocaroo.com

[untold pewter]

is h.264 less jank?

can try that site aswell

[desert python]

h.264 is less jank

its just bigger size wise

another deal is youre using usharpvid. have you tried playing the video on stream mode? (this switches the videoplayer to avpro)

[untold pewter]

same issue on stream mode

[desert python]

i would just upload the mp3 file to either dropbox or vocaroo and see if that works

[untold pewter]

h264 and mp3 didnt work either, and neither did vocaroo

[desert python]

right click the download button and copy the link from vocaroo

[untold pewter]

that works, but only in stream mode

woo

[desert python]

ye

[untold pewter]

such a pain lol

[desert python]

avpro is the only support for multimedia stuff for vrc

i highly suggest using a videoplayer that uses avpro by default

[untold pewter]

if i can get that to play in 2d sterio i shall

cant be dealing with 3d audio with music

guess i could all but dissable the left channel source and change the right channel source to a sterio output instead of mono

[untold pewter]

@desert python is all working perfectly now, got the audio the same in both modes and stuff, thanks for the help!

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/PostProcessing

Is this post processing system incompatible with the current SDK, if so, what should I use for post processing?

(I'd rather not import it blindly and break everything)

[chrome jungle]

hello i need help with uploading a world could anybody help me im getting a vrchat world.vrcw does not exist error

[kind leaf]

post processing is installed when you install the sdk. If not it can be found in your asset manager. Don't use the git

[thick granite]

check for console errors

[bold ibex]

click the red bar at the bottom it opens the console

and tell us what other errors you get

[chrome jungle]

there is a bunch of them

[bold ibex]

screenshot

make your console tall

so you can get more in one picture

[kind leaf]

the first error is your problem. Failed copy. Unless stated otherwise, r click vrcsdk and reimport. Then try restarting Unity. Need to sort out why the copy failed.

[raw vessel]

@chrome jungle
ok nevermind you win 😦

[chrome jungle]

what

[bold ibex]

are you in Unity 2019.4.29f1 my dude???

[chrome jungle]

yeah why is that bad

[raw vessel]

@chrome jungle
what you tell me
ahh it's ok

[bold ibex]

no thats what its supposed to be

[chrome jungle]

oh but yeah i am

[bold ibex]

Did you do what Kev said yet

[chrome jungle]

no because im new to the whole unity thing so i dont know how to do anything to complicated

[bold ibex]

Alright then ill tryy to walk you through it

[chrome jungle]

can you vc

[bold ibex]

Not at the moment nooooo

[chrome jungle]

oh ok thats alr

[bold ibex]

also I need to ask first, what exact version of the sdk do you have

its in the name of the file when you dl it from the vrchat website

[chrome jungle]

that one

[bold ibex]

ok so thats correct

so you know at the top bar with all the funny stuff, one of them is vrchat so click on it, go to utilities, clear cache

and then do the same thing but click the thing under clear cache that starts with "re-"

[chrome jungle]

vrchat sdk ?

[bold ibex]

yup

[chrome jungle]

ok done

[bold ibex]

That should fix it i thinkkk

close and reopen project before u try to build it

[chrome jungle]

ok thankx

[bold ibex]

tell me if it works

[chrome jungle]

@bold ibexthank you it worked

[bold ibex]

Pog

so now I know for sure thats where the cache is and clears

thank u actually

[chrome jungle]

very pog

[bold ibex]

im worried for what problem solar has they have been typing for ages

[nimble hull]

does anyone have any pointers for how to work in a way that makes both world customization and optimization easy? initially i was planning on having multiple texture atlas sets for all of my assets, so that way different themes or categories (such as by size) of static props, dynamic props, and environment props would all share the same material. technically i have a world where this is already a thing, which means that I could easily assemble the final scene in unity by duplicating game objects and then later batching them together in order to reduce drawcalls down to as many as there are materials/texture atlases. but apparently, to my understanding, this will not work with baked lighting since lightmaps are saved as textures, and those depend on UVs, which wont work out if copies of multiple objects share the same UV space. ideally i would like to assemble the final scene in unity since it makes the most sense, but the conflict between batching and lightmapping would get in the way of that. are there any alternative workflows that still offer low friction?

ive found multiple example threads of people going to bake their lights and finding that their drawcalls skyrocket, or people trying to batch lightmapped objects only to be told "no lol"

[kind leaf]

I might be missing the point but a Unity Lightmap is an atlas. So it should be treated no different than your texture atlas. Except for the fact that you cannot have a dynamic lightmap like you can an object.

[sick drift]

does anyone have same issue? updating world but changes are not showing up in vrc

[nimble hull]

assume that i have a balloon asset which is completely static. my problem is basically that if i have a world with a shed and there is one balloon in the shed and a copy of the same balloon outside, i can setup a single realtime light with shadows and both balloons will be lit appropriately. i could bake lights to save resources that would have been spent processing realtime shadows, but if both balloons share the same texture, uv space, and material, then what happens inside of the lightmap? one balloon is lit by the glorious sun whereas the other in the shadow of the shed. isn't there going to be a problem when generating a lightmap for these balloons if they have overlapping UVs?

this is also assuming that im managing the balloon asset in unity. so im creating all balloons in unity rather than ahead of time in blender so i can just. move them around in the engine

[kind leaf]

Think my understanding is flawed because I don't work in blender unless I have to. But take my jam project for example. I used Kubikos asset pack from the asset store and it uses an atlas. I was able to bake my lighting without any issues. The UV map shouldn't tell the object where to get its lighting from just where to display it. The data comes from the light source/probes. But if I am wrong, there is no harm in testing. Blank project add 2 balloons with one under a cube. setup your lighting and statics and bake.

[viscid belfry]

[gaunt minnow]

how can i make a world portal smaller?

[unkempt mauve]

@errant beacon Hello! I'm having issues getting error messages with the VRCToolKit and I don't know how to fix the issue.
It was working fine untill I reopend my project

[bold ibex]

try getting the most recent version of that and reimporting it into your project

and then close and reopen your project again

[errant beacon]

^ also make sure you're using Unity 2019.4.29f1, along with the most recent version of the SDK from the VRChat website?

[unkempt mauve]

Thats what I did, and still got the errors

[unkempt mauve]

Im on that aswell

[errant beacon]

ah kk
right-click the VRChat SDK in the asset browser and hit Reimport? Reimport All might help as well, though that could take a while depending on how big your project is

[unkempt mauve]

I'm up to date with both.

[unkempt mauve]

I could try that and report back to you

@errant beacon I even tried removing the VRCToolKit from the project and reimporting it but that didn't work either

[errant beacon]

did Reimport All help? o:

[unkempt mauve]

No

@errant beacon I asked oneVR about it too and he said I didn't have the VRC SDK imported, and I had forgotten.

[worthy mantle]

Hello, recently I found myself facing a rather annoying problem, to put it simply, when i updated my map all the pedestals stopped working,
Basically, they are present but we cannot interact with them.
Do you have any idea what could have caused this?

[kind leaf]

Inspect the pedestal, the interact trigger/graph/or script is probably lacking.

[worthy mantle]

It's good I found it, thank you for the help

[random owl]

What was the issue?

[worthy mantle]

Basically I have update my world to the sdk 3 because the two started to be buggy on my side.
And I hadn't seen that something was missing for the pedestals to work well.
I admit that the fact that the element was not on the prefab provided the sdk either increased to my confusion.
Anyway, a friend showed me where the problem was and I was able to solve it.

[willow canyon]

Any reason to why you can't move when you exit a station that has "Seated" unchecked? Nevermind, I was being a dumbdumb again

[shell bloom]

My unity is getting stuck on this screen while uploading, I have tried force closing and trying again a few times and no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[kind leaf]

Not a solution just a thought or two.
Unity freezes when trying to build on a 32bit OS. (Doubt thats it)
Unity appears to freeze on big builds with lots of mshes and high res textures.
How long are you waiting before force quitting?
Once you force quit once you risk damaging the cache and or library. The screenshot says this is a backup? Did you force quit on the other version?

[shell bloom]

It was a backup but i do work to the backup and then make it the main version after I can see it did not break anything. "risk damaging the cache and or library" if this happened what would i do, just clear out a folder or is it screwed completely?

And it might just be taking a long time like you said, I left it about 10 min.

[kind leaf]

You can clear the cache if that is the case and or remove the library. Cache is safe to clear anytime. Library is risky if not done correctly. see the link for how unity handles imports and proper library handling. Always make a backup before doing anything like this. https://docs.unity3d.com/560/Documentation/Manual/BehindtheScenes.html
But I would wait longer and see. Watch a whole episode of Rick and Morty or something lol.

[shell bloom]

XD rick and morty it is! thanks for the advice!

[shell bloom]

Oh and the reason I quit it out was because it did not seem to be using much system resources, only like 10% CPU and no GPU so I thought it was frozen

[kind leaf]

Also, next time when you build, before you start the build switch to consol view so you can see if any errors hit. You wont beable to switch while building.

Unity uses about 10-27% for me while not responding and it's always in not responding for a minute or two on big imports, cloning a cubemap or building (for me)

[shell bloom]

Alright I will try that

[kind leaf]

when Unity truly crashes you get a nice popup.

[severe pier]

Anyone know how to make a flashlight toggleable on and off?

I used OnUse.

[shell bloom]

@kind leaf Seems to have worked, I guess I was just too impatient. Its just never taken that long before so I was concerned. Thanks for the help again!

Does anyone know where I could buy the tokayaki asset and tea asset where you could pour and drink tea?

[ionic ledge]

Hey guys, I need help. I've been trying to get a grid system to appear over the terrain in this world, but I'm kinda lost at what to do since VRChat disables the unity script for the TerrainGrid addon. Is there a way to apply a png texture of a grid as an overlay to the terrain? Or any other way acceptable by the SDK?

[bold ibex]

idk if this is the right place, but i've been putting together a world in unity 2019.4.29f1 and today i put in the sdk (3.0), put in the world prefab from the examples folder, then went to build but my builder tab is just blank, can still log in, can still see my content manager and my content there, settings is fine, just the builder is blank page, when i delete the world prefab it shows the 'scene descriptor needed' and even tried manually adding one to an empty game object, still blank, my console is empty, and i've tried completely reinstalling the sdk twice now, i'm so lost, any help?

if this is the wron gplace just let me know and i'll move it over to the right channel.

sorry about the run on sentences

[ionic ledge]

@bold ibex I had this same issue. I fixed it by just remaking my world, though I wasn't very far into it. Idk if that's an option for you

[bold ibex]

damnit, hopefully i don't have to, put a lot into this, i'll try that as a last resort

[dusk sapphire]

do you have any console errors?

[bold ibex]

none, if i did i'd have a better idea what i'd need to do

[dusk sapphire]

tried restarting the unity editor? i've noticed they dont show up sometimes until a restart

[bold ibex]

i got it, i've done that already, for me reimporting literally everything fixed it

[scenic marten]

it should be possible to trigger a video playing when you put a physics object in a specific spot right?

I want to put together a world where you can watch different videos by putting VHS tapes in a VCR

I think I can figure it out, only asking to know if its a non-starter

[dusk sapphire]

yeah thats pretty straight forward, people have been doing it even in sdk2 long ago

[scenic marten]

😮 awesome

gonna also try to make one of the tapes a blank tape, where the label on it is actually a text box to paste URLs

[dusk sapphire]

that's a neat idea

[ionic ledge]

Anyone know how to make a grid like this visible ingame?

[scenic marten]

seen that done with a shader before

[ionic ledge]

Ok, I'll do some digging as to how to work those. Thank you!

@scenic marten I was under the impression VRChat disables a lot of custom shaders?

[near escarp]

Only for Quest avatars

[scenic marten]

someone implemented linux in a shader, you can do a lot

[ionic ledge]

Lmao kk, thank you!

is Udon SDK and SDK3 compatible?

I saw Udon Sharp Prefab is made for SDK3, can I use it with Udon SDK?

[rough abyss]

how do I create an object for joined player like the hat system(which is in SDK2)?

[kind leaf]

OnPlayerJoined
I suggest reading the doc
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/what-is-udon

there is also an examples scene for Udon and UdonSharp if you downloaded it\

simple object pool is like the hat perfab (requires UdonSharp)https://drive.google.com/file/d/16SYuHlhYTQV_hszwqy_OYgou1aFTFDC1/view

you can find more here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml#

[rough abyss]

Yeah I imported Simple Object Pool, but I follow the readme File and nothing happened for me. The prefab in Simple Object Pool is using a text UI, do I need to create my own code so it works for object like a cube?

The code in ObjectPoolChild looks like it is for display text only

[kind leaf]

I'm using it in another build, i did modify mine slightly but I kept the text bit because I used it for a player board. Basically you just replace the objects in the pool with your own, or add yours to one of the objects, delete the rest and then duplicate the modified pool object for the amount of players you need. The text is for debug.

[vestal garden]

Can anyone help me? I am now trying to build for android, but 'build and test' is greyed out, and when I click on 'last build' (the other button), it runs vrchat as usual, but brings me to my home world instead of the world I am building?

Is this normal? Do I ignore this and just publish? Thanks

[viscid belfry]

anyone know where I can get physical push buttons?

[vestal garden]

Physical? Actual push buttons? Just get them from aliexpress.

[desert python]

just publish

[vestal garden]

Thank you so much!

[viscid belfry]

Thank you !

wait I meant like in VR Chat lol my bad. In B club world for example the buttons can be physically pushed to to speak for functionality

[desert python]

https://bitbucket.org/akovaloid/vrc-physical-interaction/downloads/ i got you

[viscid belfry]

Thank you @desert python are these actually open source?

[desert python]

that question can be answered in many ways my dude lol. you just need sdk3 and udonsharp for them to work

[viscid belfry]

Yeah thats fair thank you!

[bold ibex]

ive got a problem where object that ive put wont move out of place even though the value is showing the position is changing anyone know why?

[vestal garden]

How do you guys publish worlds with text in the thumbnails? lol
Can we upload custom images instead of playing with the cam?

[bold ibex]

You can take a picture and put it in unity onto a plane, and then aim the camera at that plane

[vestal garden]

This is a silly question, but what happens to the plane after publishing? Its now a part of the world, yeah? TIA

[bold ibex]

If you set the plane and stuff up before building then yeah it will be a part of the world

if you set it up after it built the vrc file then no it wont

[dusk sapphire]

Just set the plane as editor only tag

[bold ibex]

What does that do?

I never used tags so

[dusk sapphire]

anything with editor only doesnt get built into the world on upload

[bold ibex]

Thats convienent

[tropic arrow]

My world recently broke and is 2.0 and won't let me just do a simple reupload. Can we no longer use 2.0SDK for worlds?

[near escarp]

You can, you most likely have console errors

[subtle cradle]

I added the damn keyboard and now Im getting this..

[pine quail]

So I made a world and me and my friend and probably everyone can't join the world.

It just sends me and everyone back to their home world. Any fix?

[bold ibex]

still working on my world but its comeing along

[pine quail]

I got newest SDK 2 and Unity Version.

[bold ibex]

Where is your spawn located?

[pine quail]

The world wont even load

[bold ibex]

Make sure its not inside another object

oh it wont?

[pine quail]

It'll show loading screen and then kick me back to my home world

Same happens to my friend

[bold ibex]

does it blackscreen for a split second after loading

[pine quail]

Lemme see

1 sec

So

It'll show me the download screen then a black screen for 1 sec then another loading screen, another blackscreen and then ill load into my home world

black cat

I found a person with the same issue on google

https://vrcat.club/threads/kick-out-of-world-i-uploaded.2479/

[bold ibex]

Is your scene descriptor/spawn the VRCWorld prefab or did you make it yourself

[pine quail]

That's all my world contains

[bold ibex]

Try making your own scene descriptor and spawn

[pine quail]

Making my own scene descriptor?

I usually just search scened and it pops up and i drag it into the hierachy

[bold ibex]

Well, make your own empty or wahtever and add that script onto it

[pine quail]

Tutorial for idiots?

I'm new to unity and all

[bold ibex]

let me open my unity

you are on 2019.4.29f1 right

most recent sdk off the website?

[pine quail]

yes

I just got the newest unity today cuz I had another issue.

getting the new unity version seemed to fix it but now this is there.

[bold ibex]

Wait what

newest unity version as in newest compatiable version for vrchat or

newest version completely

[pine quail]

Yes newest compatible one

[bold ibex]

oh ok

[verbal hare]

so i set a mesh collider on a building and i can still walk through it...i had the same thing set up in Unity 2018, and it worked fine. did something change for collision handling in Unity 2019?

these are my settings

[pine quail]

Alright so now it tells me I have 2 Scene Descriptors. Where do I find the other one to delete it?

Nvm, I got it.

[random owl]

You have no mesh in the mesh collider

[verbal hare]

its not letting me assign the building itself

[random owl]

Well you most likely are trying to assign the model and not an individual mesh which won't work

If you just add the mesh collider to a object that has a mesh on it it'll get auto assigned

The object you have it on currently does not

[pine quail]

Nice, now the upload button doesn't work.

lmao

[bold ibex]

Welp, time to check the unity error console then

[verbal hare]

so from what im understanding, if i add a SECTION of the building (ie the basement), because the house is made of seperate pieces, the whole building will have the Mesh Collider assigned to it? or would it just be the basement?

[pine quail]

This error came up before, if I click Upload theres no new errors coming up.

[random owl]

A model can have multiple meshes, single mesh collider can't have a whole model or multiple meshes

[pine quail]

I think you need this?

[bold ibex]

I have only seen that when people the wrong unity version and/or sdk and I know you are using the right one so idk

[random owl]

That error happens when you have multiple pipeline managers in the scene

[bold ibex]

Ah so when you removed the descriptor for that other one you forgot about the pipeline

[pine quail]

I removed every pipeline other than 1

Still doesn't work.

That pops up every time I click Build and Publish.

[bold ibex]

Oh geez I haven't seen that one in ages

[random owl]

That's just normal

[pine quail]

That's what my entire error thingy looks like.

[random owl]

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

[pine quail]

What are those?

[bold ibex]

When you hit build and publish and you go to that one screen where you type the name of the world/avatar

there should be a box for tags I think

[pine quail]

Oh lol ok

[bold ibex]

you are really running into all the problems lol

[pine quail]

Thanks that worked

[pine quail]

ikr lmfao

[bold ibex]

use sdk3 next time for sure

[pine quail]

Everything fixes but then adds new ones.

[bold ibex]

the cyantriggers plugin is free now I think and it already has presets for like the stuff you can do in sdk2 but in udon graphs for you

poorly explained but yeah

[pine quail]

Pretty sure cyantriggers is sdk3 only.

I'll switch to sdk3 next time I use unity for vrc.

Thank you for your help.

Here's hope I'll actually be able to spawn.

Yesssssss it workss

Any way to toggle an animation in an FBX so it only plays when interacted? I want it to not play by default, then play when interacted, then stop and don't play again till it gets interacted again.

[kind leaf]

when you create animations and the animation controller you setup bools for your transitions. So the animation only plays when the bool is true.

...Then you just setup your interact to set the bool.
