[bold ibex]

i set the cooking to everything

[desert python]

actually - put a plane under the map and see if the objects go theu or not

[bold ibex]

ok

[desert python]

i feel like planes always are set up to collide with rigids

[bold ibex]

straight through baybeee

default components on default plane

unity plane

[desert python]

what about your rigid bodies/pick ups?

[bold ibex]

good point lemme check

they worked ONCE

um

they dont have colliders

only rigidbodies and pickup scripts

fuck

do I just add a collider component?

[desert python]

ye....

[bold ibex]

interesting

[desert python]

lol thats probs it lmao

[bold ibex]

so it falls through my floor still

but its on the normal plane

[desert python]

oh

pick ups now have colliders?

[bold ibex]

yes

im copypasting the mesh collider values and plugging it into my floor

the mesh is still the right mesh btw

fuck still doesnt work

[desert python]

try setting the pick ups to the default layer?

[bold ibex]

dis is the floor

[desert python]

man i wish i could remember what i did to fix colliders and pick ups lol

[bold ibex]

how do I change the layer on the pickups

i didnt know they had layers??

[desert python]

inspector - top right

[bold ibex]

OH that layerr

ill try

[desert python]

ye, pick ups are usually set to the “pick up” layer for mirror/culling optimizations

but i dought thisll work...

[bold ibex]

nope doesnt work

wait it culls my pickups? fuck that its going all to default still

[desert python]

show photo of pick up inspector

[desert python]

lol k

[bold ibex]

they shouldn't be falling at lightspeed either and skip updates or whatever

[desert python]

what does the rest of the inspector look like?

[bold ibex]

wy

wym

also something to note maybe I bring the default plane to meet as close as I can get it to my actual floor before it clips, that causes the objects to glitch out and poof

actually it might be clipping from the fallspeed

I mess around with it when it falls on the default plane below again and dragging it up sometimes makes it clip when it falls back down

and they are falling at a pretty fast rate not sure why since all the mass and stuff is on default settings

these things are fuckin crazy they go to insane speeds instantly

ill record it one second

it wasnt instantly falling through first time always but yeah I guess its clipping through an update because its going so fast, not sure how to slow it down

I mean I honestly don't care much about gravity I just want to know now so badly

yes the objects (at least some of them) have their colliders above and NOT inside the floor collider

oml so some fourm said my floor might have the wrong mesh orientation and it is colliding only on the bottom side so let me test that

using a box collider instead STILL doesnt work

OML I fucking hate thisss the only person that I could find that had the same problem was about to fix it but went into someone dms to fix it

I dont understand this VRWorldToolKit says it doesnt have a collider on it but there is a fucking thing under it with a mesh collider with convex on

oh great I toggled legacy blend shape normals or whatever and now its seeming hanging on reimport after the change

forced closed it after like 2 minutes there is no reason it should be hanging on something with like a few hundred tris

I have to force close the project every time I change legacy blend shape normals wow thats sooo great I love unity

and it was just invisible when it was on, why did the toolkit want me to do that

ok I need to see if i fall through the floors as a player ingame I need that baseline

nope im just FINEE

I might of figured it out

collision detection is on default discrete not continuous

nope it just falls through like everything else

ok now it works I just had to readd a box collider onto the item for some reason

still is falling at an absurd rate but ill just see how it works in vrchat

im gonna make a video on this so anyone else having this problem doesnt have to go through all this horrible pain

[rain shadow]

What type of collider do you have on the rigidbody object?

[bold ibex]

I have a box

so

the Floor has a mesh collider with convex on

the item I just made work has a box collider but a mesh collider should work fine too

[rain shadow]

And does the rigidbody object collide with other things in the scene?

[sullen turret]

Does Unity Terrain work with VRchat worlds?

If so, do terrain details work on the Quest version of the game?

[bold ibex]

there shouldn't be any other colliders on anything else besides the items and floors I checked

[rain shadow]

Does it fall through if you change that mesh collider to a box collider?

[bold ibex]

no

seems like mesh colliders dont work anymore on items

only box now

do mesh colliders not interact with other mesh colliders or something dumb like that?

[rain shadow]

Collision between convex mesh colliders is supported

[bold ibex]

are you implying if they aren't convex they don't collide?

i know im nitpicking but i need to make sure of everything

[rain shadow]

Well rigidbodies don't support non convex mesh colliders

As their own collider

They can still collide with normal mesh colliders though.

[bold ibex]

I switched some of the items to box then back to mesh, probably forgot to tick convex for those

[rain shadow]

From one of your screenshots it looks like your object is inside the convex mesh collider

[bold ibex]

It might of been but now everything is cooperating

thank youuu

[kind leaf]

Yep yep

[sullen notch]

I think the world i've made has peaked. There is nothing i can do that can improve it.

[bold ibex]

that is amazing

HAlp its not accepting it as a audiosource and im not entirely certain why

clicking on them looks like this in the inspector

I just imported an mp3 and ogg and they do the same thing

also clicking the dot next to the audiosource bar doesn't show ANY audiosources to select in either assets or scene

It is under the catagory of audio clip apparently since I made a gameobject and added a audiosource component to it and that was fine

or wait

oh im dumb

its a component

[kind leaf]

So those arnt an audio source, they are the audio

yep yep

[bold ibex]

i forgot some basic things of C#

just a few

[kind leaf]

🙂 we all bluescreen from time to time

[bold ibex]

and fookin I have to do Music1.Play(); not Music1.play(); or else udon# gets mad even tho I thought lowercase p was corrcet

[kind leaf]

Mandela effect haha https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource-clip.html

[bold ibex]

NU jimmy vegas always does it with .play but i watch his stuff from old versions of unity so thats probably whyy

[kind leaf]

huh, I am sure all functions were capitalized. If not, it's what I have always done.

[bold ibex]

nevermind he did capitalize

I dont know why I was so certain

[sullen turret]

My VRchat world is booting me back to my home world every time I try to join it

Help?

Ah nvm figured it out

[bold ibex]

What was the problem?

[sullen turret]

I had the Scene Descriptor attached to a VRCWorld prefab that shouldn't have been there

Deleted it and put it on the spawnpoint instead

[bold ibex]

ah i seeee

thank you for explaining

[red urchin]

does anyone know if i can make a video player screen ignore all post processing in my world? my screen is just a little too dark with post on

specifically merlins udonsharp video, if that matters

[sullen turret]

Is there any way to unpublish a world for Quest? I just tested my world on the Quest version and holy hell it's laggy

[errant beacon]

You can delete it in the content manager tab, in the build control panel? o:

[meager anvil]

Gotta question! My world keeps booting me back to my home world when I try to spawn in it. There wasn't any warnings on the console, it's just booting me in VRchat. Not sure what's up

[errant beacon]

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

[meager anvil]

Ah there was future builds enabled! I disabled it, hopefully it will launch this time. Thank you!! ^^

[errant beacon]

yw! c:

[meager anvil]

It booted up!! Thank you!!

Aaand I'm back xD any reason a mirror would tank my frames from 50 to 11?

[errant beacon]

Mirrors are vv expensive to render, since they're rendering the game again - turn off any layers you don't need in the mirror, and/or have different quality levels for the mirror?

VowganVR has a good tutorial on toggle buttons, and a good one on mirror loops too
Toggles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibDu0dCeUE8
Mirror Quality/for loops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0D9Z8-HVBI

[meager anvil]

Alrighty!! I'll try that!
My friend has an exact copy of this world and managed to get it running 80 fps for me, including the mirror. So I have no idea what's up on my end xD

[green lagoon]

also don't put them in a big open space where it's going to render the entire map twice

like there is a good reason in most video games you only find proper mirrors in bathrooms

[meager anvil]

Very true!! The only thing it has to render is a tree xD

And the skybox I suppose

[green lagoon]

trees are pretty complicated things with lots of overdraw

unless you're talking one of those low-poly trees where it's a big solid blob

[meager anvil]

It's a normal tree, but my buddy got the same mirror running 80fps on their copy of the world. I gotta figure out how, I assume it's just settings as nothing was changed from the world itself

[green lagoon]

no clue on that one myself hopefully you can figure that out

[meager anvil]

I dunno if this helps any, but the darker one (friends) gets 55fps when the mirror is on.

The lighter one (mine) gets around 22-34. I did change the lighting in mine so that could be the issue

[green lagoon]

did you change the amount of real-time light on the map

[meager anvil]

All of mine is baked!

[green lagoon]

are they currently baked just checking in case you accidentally hit a button to clear all of your lighting

[meager anvil]

I believe so, I'll go over my lights again to check

Ohh
Ambient mode is real time. Would that be causing it?

[green lagoon]

maybe see what happens if you turn it to baked

[kind leaf]

You said both worlds are the same? Looks like one of you is using light probes and the other is not. An avatar (unless it has a special shader) only lights up with probes or real time.

[meager anvil]

Ohhh- they could have deleted them then! Mine still has probes in it

Should I delete them?

[green lagoon]

you want the light probes so it's fully baked lighting

[meager anvil]

Ohh okay! I'll remake em

[rough abyss]

how to create an object that only visible to its owner or certain group in vrc custom world?

[kind leaf]

Nope... I have a solution but it doesnt work for us without network visibility access which from a brief look it appears not. Using what we have, you could check to see if the object is owned and if so set its visibility but your client relays its stats to the host who then updates the rest of the clients communicating with the world. Which would then make the object visible to others. You could remove all syncing but then your friends or the group associated with the object would not see it moving.

or you could play around with layers, add the special object to its own layer and cull that layer in the reference camera. Allow only the owner to see the layer. here is an example https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/156734/is-there-a-way-to-make-a-game-object-invisible-to-only-certain-players

[willow canyon]

If you update a world, do you have to update the android and PC version at the same time every time, or is it different?

[bold ibex]

when you upload your world, it does it for either windows or android. If you are in a windows build rn then it uploads to the windows side of the blueprint id, if you are on android build then android

you cannot upload one build to both at the same time

android and windows architecture is different

[willow canyon]

Alright so, uploading to pc first, and then switching to android and uploading is how you do it right?

[bold ibex]

yes that is a way

[willow canyon]

Alright, that means I've been doing it right. I was confused by the sdk telling me It was "quest compatible" after updating the pc version

[bold ibex]

some people dont like waiting so they make 2 completely seperate projects anf what they do in one theydo in the other to avoid switching back and forth build types

[quick lintel]

Does Stylized Grass Shader the one from Unity store work with Vrchat ?

[bold ibex]

should, yeah.

as long as it is supported on 2019.4.29f1

some packages are only for newer versions

[earnest hazel]

How does one do this?

[kind leaf]

you have errors in your console. You need to fix those. If you need help show them.

[errant beacon]

Check this? o: https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/wiki/Fixing-Build-Problems

[kind leaf]

try right clicking VRCSDK and choosing re-import.

[errant beacon]

Make sure you followed the 2018>2019 migration guide? https://docs.vrchat.com/v2021.3.2/docs/migrating-from-2018-lts-to-2019-lts - otherwise def check the console for errors/warnings o:

Reimport All might help as well, though that might take a while depending on how big your project is

[neat glacier]

anyone know why my skybox goes black when i enable post processing?

also having problem so i cant build/publish

[errant beacon]

not sure on the postprocessing, make sure you're using the right version maybe?
For the building issues, check the console for error/warnings and make sure you're using Unity 2019.4.29f1 and no other version? o:

[neat glacier]

im using the correct version and no errors

sometimes its black and sometimes this

[errant beacon]

right-click the VRChat SDK in the asset browser and hit Reimport? Reimport All might help too, though that could take a while depending on how big your project is
otherwise try restarting Unity and/or your computer maybe?

[neat glacier]

have done that but it still doesn't work

[willow canyon]

Is there a way to record and play recorder audio from a user (E.g a microphone and speaker system) or is this impossible with the limitations of Udon?

[kind leaf]

when you record audio in Unity it is saved locally. So it really depends on the purpose of the request. You cannot record a person in game and play it back later in the world no (outside of maybe some shader magic which is a whole other level of OP badass shit).

[woven totem]

I have yet to update to unity 2019 and have a main world that uses specifically sdk 2.0. Is updating the world to 3.0 mandatory to updating unity to 2019? Because I do not know a thing about 3.0/udon.

[desert python]

no

dont even nesciscarally need to use 2019 unity either

[errant beacon]

You don't need to update to SDK3, no

I vv much would recommend looking into it though, it's vv flexible o:
VowganVR has lots of good Udon tutorials, and there's also CyanTriggers on Booth if you want to use SDK2-like triggers in SDK3

[woven totem]

Considering I cannot sign in to update the world once again, I believe the 2019 update at least is mandatory.

[errant beacon]

the 2019 update is required yes, though you could technically use 2018 with a vv old SDK

[desert python]

itll let you sign in. not sure why it wouldnt. but technically its recommended to update

[woven totem]

Okay, used my old in-game name as I thought that would change with it. Apparently not. But that fixes the sign in though.

[desert python]

was about to say. i have accidentally used 2017 before and it worked cus i was working on a different product lol

so 2018 sign in blocking wouldve been super weird

[bold ibex]

did you follow the official migration guide? make sure you do when you try again

import over the NEW sdk (dont delete the old one) in the OLD 2018 right before you switch it to 2019

only other things I could ask to make sure of is that its U 2019.4.29f1 exactly and the new sdk is one off the website

worst case I guess just make an entirely new unity project in 2019.4.29f1

?

show me the name of the sdk you are usng

copy paste the filename

yes but the sdk

for example "VRCSDK3-AVATAR-2021.08.11.15.16_Public (2)"

why did

ok

just for good measure

redownload the most recent one off the website

ooook thank you

Can you even upload a world to vrchat with just a plane and an empty serving as a spawn?

do things start breaking as soon as you import the 3d model of your world

or is it another asset

uhh I wouldn't delete scripts in there

were there any more errors than the ones here

Oh I think I may of just realised

its referencing an udon behavior on one of your objects in your world that is broken i think

yeah search "t:script" in the hierarchy and I guess go through every gameobject that has scripts and delete or fix the broken udon behaviors

[lean mortar]

ive been trying to move my old world from 2018 unity to the newest 2019 ver. i sorted out all the errors however when i go to publish and upload my world instead of overriting the old world it asks me to create a new one. Anyone know how to fix this?

[simple arrow]

@lean mortar Make sure your world id is the correct one and is inputted into the descriptor

[lean mortar]

it is correct

[raw siren]

Anyone know why player mod jump wouldnt work

[bold ibex]

Oh its probably supposed to have Udon# with it

do you have Udon#?

you need to dl the updated version on the git

if you are using an old one you had in your files already

I think you need to make a whole new project again

and import the new one

[raven lynx]

Yo hold up I had the same issue last night

[bold ibex]

with udon sharp specifically or migration in general

[raven lynx]

both actually- when I messed up migration I just made a new project. Though I was downloading a much of prefabs into a project and loaded them in the wrong order. Did you make sure that you loaded the SDK first before udonsharp?

[wicked forge]

Heya, when you get the chance.. You think you have any more suggestions to get the Upload button to work again?
I tried the an example scene and it worked fine. So I guess I broke something in my world? heh

[maiden mesa]

what do i do here....

its stopping me from building the world... and i dont know what to do here...

[bold ibex]

How did you install unity without the java dev kit wot tf

[maiden mesa]

tbh i dont even know

[bold ibex]

um have you ever successfully uploaded anything to 2019.4.29f1 yet

[maiden mesa]

no.

[bold ibex]

ahh

I'd probably have you completely reinstall it into a new directory

[maiden mesa]

idk how to get jdk installed....

oh-

[bold ibex]

Its supposed to come with the Bindows unity install i thought

idk maybe its not? not sure

i can call in like 30 minutes maybe sooner if you didnt figure it out yet

[maiden mesa]

it would be appreciated

[lean mortar]

im guessing you already have java installed?

if so javas jdk's are on their website here :

https://www.oracle.com/uk/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html

[maiden mesa]

which would i download.... oh my... so many to choose from..

[lean mortar]

most recent should work (16.0.2)

[maiden mesa]

got it~

[bold ibex]

I can't find anything on what version specifically so far

Oh unity you big bitch you took out VRChat's LTS from the Official Releases section for installing via Unity Hub

Thats why people are coming in on version .30 sometimes

[desert python]

yep

[warm cargo]

Can you check your player preferences and see what you have here? I've been finding more and more the project settings and Udon Asset bindings are increasingly fragile.

[torpid stratus]

I finally got bakery since it was on sale in the bundle..

[worn elk]

I've been having this issue where every time I try to bake my occlusion, it just.....doesnt work right. Basically, when I am in certain rooms or areas, objects occlude when I am looking at them, and others never appear at all. I have no idea why this is happening and I am not sure there is really a solution.

Has anyone ever come across this?

I have an inverted sphere that this area is set in. As you can see, the camera is pointed at the cliffside, but its not rendering in the camera preview

When I am in-world, the same thing happens

Same thing but with the visualization turned on

[turbid linden]

Can someone help me im trying to make this world romantic and i have not made a world before. I already have a good chunk just dont know what to add.

I added yk pics we have taken and a little building and a button that takes a wall off asking if she wanna be in a relationship.

[bold ibex]

hmmm what would be a special romantic suprise....

Mayb a box that u can open and it has a note that says " do u want to date" or something

little present gift box world prop

[undone ravine]

Can someone help? I'm trying to hit Re-compile but every time I do it gives me this error.

[turbid linden]

I have a massive wall appreciating her for being there for me and hanging out with me and being nice and stuff. I was gonna say it myself

[sullen fiber]

Anyone have a simple light post I could use for my world?

[turbid linden]

I have a little house with a pictures we took in vrc

[bold ibex]

You should still say it yourself just dont let ur voice get too nerveous lol

she will think its cute that you did all of this for her at the very least

[turbid linden]

Lol yeah i dont wanna mess it all up at the end. We have matching pfp on discord and we have each other in 1 photo in our icon on vrc (VRC+ supporter).

[bold ibex]

omg thats so cute

[turbid linden]

I believe she likes me already and so do i so i wanted to do this

[bold ibex]

for sure

what world did u meet in do u remember

[turbid linden]

I had her added a while ago i believe and we came back together again not too long ago. Could be among us tbh she likes that world

[bold ibex]

ah i see

[turbid linden]

Oh imagine she was in this discord

[bold ibex]

watching

[turbid linden]

I would be devastated

[bold ibex]

👀

maybe i am her

[turbid linden]

The surprise ruined!!!

XD

nah shes sleeping

or is shee????

👀

[bold ibex]

idk

shes ur bestiee

[turbid linden]

No but i got a little house i used as my blueprint that i found on the web and added pictures, hearts, a wall that says a message when clicking a button, and music

Im going all outtttttt

[bold ibex]

eeeEEeee

[turbid linden]

This is my first world btw

[bold ibex]

really

[turbid linden]

So im not good

[bold ibex]

its da effort dat counts

[turbid linden]

Yeah first world i wanna make is for her

Ofc thats why i wanna add more

[bold ibex]

awWww

[turbid linden]

Ha get it more, my ign is more

Nvm

Anyways

[bold ibex]

i feel emotion thank you

[turbid linden]

XD

Dont beeee

I also saved her life she wanted to do something that I couldnt let it happen

I cared for her like she was my daughter.

[bold ibex]

i was following until the daughter analogy lol

[turbid linden]

Ight what else should i add? I dont like mirrors but ill add one since she uses them

[bold ibex]

nuu no mirrors

[turbid linden]

No?

[bold ibex]

u need to look at each other

not into mirror

[turbid linden]

Okay got it

I also cant get the stairs to work

[bold ibex]

whats weong with them

[turbid linden]

Colliders

i go through it

[bold ibex]

ohh

Use mesh colliders and convex ticked on

should work then

and baked set to everything

[turbid linden]

not mesh renderer?

[bold ibex]

or cooking

[turbid linden]

Okay 1 sec

[bold ibex]

mesh renderer is how unity renders the mesh

isnt the collider thats seperate

u can have render no collider and a collider no render

[turbid linden]

imma build and test rq

[bold ibex]

k

[turbid linden]

strange

still cant

The amount of tabs opened is insane XD

[bold ibex]

how many instances do u got open geez

[turbid linden]

Im used to it since i upload avatars so

youtube for music, unity, the file with pictures, music audio blah blah blah

oh i forgot to put it on everything

whoops

[bold ibex]

yeah da cookin

idk if that really makes it work but i had a collider dilema the other day and itbwas set to that when it worked so

[turbid linden]

yeah still

Cant get on it

[bold ibex]

fuck

[turbid linden]

What if i

click the

[bold ibex]

idk u could make a bunch of empys with box colliders under each step

[turbid linden]

"Is trigger" and put a check mark

[bold ibex]

or that

is trigger is more for like scripting stuff kinda

but try

[turbid linden]

So also i used the wall next to it as a little ref it has box collider too

That might be the issue

[bold ibex]

mayb

[turbid linden]

Still

Might say fuck the stairs and remove the second floor

Add stuff outside since theres a lot of land to work on

[bold ibex]

just make a button that teleports u frim 1F to 2F

i forgot how entirely

youtube videos are ur friend

[turbid linden]

God i hope she isnt here

I tried to look her up here, i didnt see anything

but idk she could be on a alt im not aware of

[undone ravine]

Greetings! I'm trying to use the vrchat unity video player, but I got an error which wasn't in the tutorial video i was following. What is causing this error?

[neat glacier]

so no one knows how to fix

[bold moss]

You need to provide more details and some screenshots to be understood correctly. As of now, I would suggest turning some of the features of post-processing off, until you will find the one, that is causing it. I would suggest checking the Colour Grading, Vignette and Ambient Occlusion first.

[torpid ibex]

How can I contact the official staff of vrchat?

[bold ibex]

[e-mail]

for general iquiries

but read over #moderation-reports and #vrchat-support to see if you could just make a ticket before you email "[e-mail]"

what do you want to contact them for?

[torpid ibex]

I need to buy something

[bold ibex]

Likeee?

[bold moss]

Let me guess, an avatar or a world?

[torpid ibex]

world

[bold ibex]

VRChat doesn't make all the worlds and avatars

So that means they dont sell them

You could go to the VRCTraders discord and request someone for money to make a world as you describe #community-servers-old

[bold moss]

Let me handle this.

[bold ibex]

oke

[bold moss]

Sandman, go to #general-media , I will explain everything there not to flood this channel.

[torpid ibex]

👌

[bold moss]

Alright, should be done.

[worn elk]

Still having some occlusion issues.

#world-development message

Rather than use the inverted sphere as the occlusion to make sure I don't see anything outside of it, I've instead put two giant planes in the void that block the view of all the other areas so that your camera absolutely cannot see beyond them

Re-baking to see if that fixes anything

[bold moss]

I work a lot with optimisation, which includes Occlusion Culling. I could take a look at your screen to see what I can do, if you are willing to show it.

[worn elk]

Sure. It's currently rebaking though

I havent touched any of the default occlusion settings

But I've noticed seemingly random areas will not occlude properly

for one, the entire basement area of my map has random holes in it for different walls and floors. Some only occlude when I jump

And now this new area I added is also screwy

I'm going to see how my "giant wall" approach works

The issue is mostly that I dont want the entire main hub area rendering when you're in the smaller satellite areas and look in it's direction. For one of the secondary areas, it worked fine, but this new area is not having any luck

[bold moss]

I see. Well, just message me directly if you will need help through the screenshare then.

[worn elk]

Welp

I've been at it all day

I can't even bake anymore

It keeps saying "Out of memory in TomeGenerator"

It worked earlier but now it won't

[errant beacon]

save and restart your computer? o:

[burnt birch]

Heyyo VRC discord, im trying to make a world for the fist time, i have plenty set up and even published the fist version with a mirror and all. Im now trying to add in a Video player system and i can not seem to get it to work. I have tried manually adding a vrc unity player with render texture, material override, and even use the prefab and im not sure what is causing the issue. I do get the error before running build and test that the video player does not have auto sync turned on but i have tried testing the world with and without using auto fix on the error. Any help would be appreciated

[bold ibex]

bruh how did you get the 3d models and animations wot did you make them all yourself?

you hadddd to know some guy who animated the movies

either way still cool

[gleaming quarry]

Someone else modeled the characters, but they weren't rigged, it was aggravating but I'm proud of what I accomplished so far. 😂

[bold ibex]

OMG i dont even wanna know how much time it took

[gleaming quarry]

I started on it about a week ago

[high hemlock]

hi can anyone help? when i upload a world to vrchat, i can never enter it. it just takes me back home. it shows in my menu but I can't load into it.

[lyric acorn]

I have a question about the halloween style maps and TOS, what level of blood/body parts is the limit, "know it when you see it" type thing? Blood stains on floor/wall may be ok, but what about a severed arm?

[bold ibex]

dont use the VRCWorld prefab for your spawnpoint. Just delete that from your scene and make an empty gameobject and position that to where u want ur spawn to be and then add a scene descriptor to it, and then drag the empty from the hierarchy into the spawn entry in the scene descriptor and upload

its probably just a correlative flaw on my end but whenever people have that problem they are using VRCWorld prefab and it magically fixes when they make their own

[burnt birch]

Any tips on getting a video player to work?

[high hemlock]

@bold ibex omg it worked! thanks!!!

[bold ibex]

no problemo

if its public and u want u should link ur world

[kind leaf]

Thats a good question. None of my gore worlds ever made it out of labs... If you get an answer can you please tell me/us?

[errant beacon]

imo I'd imagine that it depends on the severity and artstyle? could def send in a ticket to support to ask o:

i.e a cartoony splat of blood on a wall might be okay, but a realistic-ish severed arm would probably be too much? not sure

[ionic ledge]

Hey guys, my vrchat sdk won't show me any splash screen or anything. It just gives me this option from the window

How can I get this to work?

This is the only option it gives me from utilities

[errant beacon]

Check the console for errors/warnings? also, make sure you're using Unity 2019.4.29f1 and no other version, along with the most recent version of the VRChat SDK

[ionic ledge]

Had a bunch of errors I didn't notice. Gonna try on a fresh unity project.

So this is an empty unity project of 2019.4.29f1. All I've done is plugged in the sdk

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

[near escarp]

Import cinemachine from the package manager

[rough abyss]

Thanks. So I guess I can deactivated the object at beginning, activate it but only sync with certain group of player?

[final vessel]

I can't get the standard asset for water to work in VR. Looks great in unity player. But in VR it's black. Any other good water prefabs or tools to use that work?

[green lagoon]

https://noriben.booth.pm/items/1671087 @final vessel

[final vessel]

Doesn't explain

[green lagoon]

pretty much you can just download that Shader and apply it to your world

[ionic ledge]

I imported Cinemamachine, but I'm still getting this error

And a bunch that I think are attached. Is there a ClipperLib I need to add too?

I can't find it under the package manager

[wispy turtle]

Is there any way to make a cylindrical mirror?

like, a mirror on the inner side of a wall that surrounds someone

[odd summit]

so i was trying to upload an sdk2 world with 2019 and it is trying to upload a different scene. i went to that scene deleted the scene desriptor and went back and tried uploading again; didnt work. when i tried uploading fully instead of test it made the world under my account but it would not load and send me back to my home. the upload photo is the world i am trying to upload. does anyone know a fix for this?

[upper gate]

I'm trying to use fake occlusion boundaries and occlusion culling to create a small area in the sky where players inside will be invisible, but can see the environment and players below.

Is this possible, in practice? It seems like occlusion culling is pretty heavily weighted towards not culling stuff. Is there a way I can tighten up those settings with respect to a particular area like this?

The other issue I'm having is that players within the area can't see outward. I didn't expect that, since there are no back faces on the cube mesh I'm using

[dusk sapphire]

you can use occlusion portals to seal off the area in the sky, so players outside of it cannot see the players inside. then disable the occlusion portals for those inside so they can see out side of it. occlusion portals basically lets you dynamically toggle occlusion boundaries at runtime.

[errant beacon]

for the cube it'd be pretty easy to make a cube with flipped normals in Blender (make cube > edit mode > select all > alt N > flip), or you could go the less optimized route of using a two-sided shader

not that rendering an extra cube's worth of faces is going to bring anyone's computer to a halt, but still lol

[dusk sapphire]

I think you're misunderstanding what they're saying, occlusion culling culls out anything outside of the cube for players inside, not that they cant see the back face of the cube

[errant beacon]

I mean this: <#world-development message> def could've clarified it better though lol

[upper gate]

The occlusion portals sound promising. Are those somehow a tighter fit when it comes to occlusion volumes?

[dusk sapphire]

not sure, but generally you do not want to have players to be inside geometry, even if there are no backfaces iirc

since unity will treat those places as "invalid" locations to be in

[upper gate]

OK, well then how about behind some Quads? I tried that too

I put a player behind a big Quad occluder, and they still rendered until they got like 10 meters further behind the quad

[dusk sapphire]

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can make a 1 sided occlusion culling boundary

oh, hm

[upper gate]

Well in any case, if not a Quad then just a thin box

[dusk sapphire]

could be a mix of the players avatar bounding box and the sizes of the "cells" unity generates based on your settings

[upper gate]

some way that the player isn't inside the geometry. Occlusion still weights heavily in favor of rendering them, even if they're clearly behind it

Right, yeah the cells is what I'm asking about

for testing purposes the avatar I'm using is the gray robot. shouldn't be any bounding box issues

[wispy turtle]

i'm looking to make custom mesh models into avatar pedistals. Can anyone help?

[dusk sapphire]

this is an old but still valid article in depth on how the occlusion culling system works https://blog.unity.com/technology/occlusion-culling-in-unity-4-3-the-basics

I'd try using occlusion portals, that are disabled for people inside of it

I tried doing what you did before a long time ago and it worked fairly ok

but I did have to give extra buffer space to prevent the issues you're experiencing

huh, the images on the page don't seem to show the full picture, that's not great, looked fine the last time i looked at this article.

[upper gate]

OK, I'll check that stuff out

thank you

[wispy turtle]

Is it possible to make a custom avatar pedistal mesh?

[errant beacon]

Set the mesh filter to whatever mesh you want, and change the material in the mesh renderer to the model's respective material(s)? o:
alternatively you could make your own avatar pedestal from a mesh, by adding a VRC_AvatarPedestal component, and an UdonBehavior with the AvatarPedestal Program udon graph asset

[lyric acorn]

Note that mirrors can get really odd when it comes to occlusion portals, if possible aim them away from the area is you use it https://gyazo.com/b8db2e2eba3f038ae169d30278fde78b

[final vessel]

Yesterday I could publish/update my vrc world, today when I hit publish or last build it runs the unity player and doesn't upload assets. What can I do?

[errant beacon]

Check the console for errors/warnings? o:

[final vessel]

No errors

[errant beacon]

Try restarting Unity? otherwise right-click the VRChat SDK in the asset browser and hit Reimport
Reimport All could help too, though that might take a while depending on how big your world is

[final vessel]

Restart unity, same thing. It builds player.....then nothing.....no handshake with uploading assets,etc

I'll try reimporting everything when I get home. Thks

[errant beacon]

yw, hope everything works out o:

[final vessel]

Weird, worked great yesterday

All I mainly added was water.....it does build and test locally fine with VR chat

Local build/test good, online publish no

[errant beacon]

could def try importing https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and seeing if it's world debugger reports anything?

If reimport/reimport all doesn't work

[final vessel]

K

[unkempt mauve]

So I uploaded a world recently and I checked out in VR Chat and for some reason I get suck at spawn and have random lag when the world is only 20MB. I’ve never had this happen to me before. Not sure how to fix it.

[final vessel]

Had something like that before. Had to redoe textures on terrain

[jagged mason]

Uh, I started Unity back up today and all of the world space ui is showing through solid objects? Am I doing something wrong, and is there a fix?

[unkempt mauve]

@errant beacon #world-development message

[errant beacon]

not sure on that, sorry o:

check the VRWorld Toolkit, make sure you aren't using a really high poly count mesh collider, and make sure you don't have a/some mirrors reflecting more than they need to?

[mild spade]

If you mean in the Unity editor then pressing play, then exit play mode should fix it

[unkempt mauve]

I don't have any mirrors

How do I check the Poly count

@errant beacon Also, when I go into Play mode, the scene becomes really dark

[errant beacon]

not sure on the play mode issue, sorry

for the poly count, open the model in Blender and check it's statistics

[unkempt mauve]

No worries

[unkempt mauve]

Unity doesn't have a poly count?

[errant beacon]

probably an overall poly count, but not sure if it has a way to read the poly count of an individual model? could def be wrong on that, though

[unkempt mauve]

ok. Thanks!

[errant beacon]

yw, hope everything works out! o:

[unkempt mauve]

One more thing. When I double click on something in the hierckey, the camera view moves out all the way even though the object(s) isn't that far. Is there a fix?

[errant beacon]

not sure on that, sorry o:
could try restarting the editor/Unity maybe?

[proven cedar]

how do i get video player for Questr

users

[inner kernel]

Does anyone remember the name of that prefab where it was an NPC that would only move when it was offscreen?

[mellow vigil]

I am having a weird issue with my world where it looks flat in Unity but once I upload it into vrchat, everything is tilted on like a 60 degree angle. It looks fine in desktop but in vr everything is tilted. I am not sure what I did wrong here

[grim crest]

Idk why but every video player I try in my world won't let me put in a link whenever I test the world. The link I put in unity works fine, I just can't add anything while in vrc.

[thorny garnet]

why cant i press upload on my unity

[frank shadow]

is there a limit of audio sources I can use in the world? I noticed that when I added more, menu sounds and avatar sounds stopped playing

[kind leaf]

depends on the setup, but yeah there is a soft cap if they are on auto/play on awake.

[frank shadow]

I see, I see

[kind leaf]

If you need different audio playing in different locations try using collider triggers to activate the audio so all audio sources excluding maybe world music are off by default.

[frank shadow]

good ideas all around, ill see what I can do

[short gulch]

Just looking for opinions here, do you guys think it would be better for 1- Your team is set depending on a spawn point you pick on a map... or 2- You choose a team first, then it shows you only the spawn points that are available to your team on the spawn map.

[near escarp]

Choosing your own team seems better

But all that can be randomized too, team and spawnpoint

[short gulch]

Alrighty, yeah I was leaning towards option 2 also. It's not really meant to be some sort of balanced game mode or anything, basically a gta style mode where you can play as either cop or criminal. Your team would also decide which avatar room unlocks for you and most likely which vehicles you would be allowed to spawn.

[lament zephyr]

Hey ! I was looking got ppl who could possibly help me make a rp map 🙂

[near escarp]

Help how ?

[barren tangle]

I'm trying to build and test my first world and it's popping up with this sample scene error

I have no idea where to go from here lol

[near escarp]

Dunno what the renderhead folder is, but you should delete it

[barren tangle]

I'll try that

Hey thank you

That worked

[near escarp]

[bold ibex]

Is that world public that looks super dope

[barren tangle]

Not yet this my first time building a world soon tho!

[bold ibex]

oke well its going very well

im curious on how you did the grass it looks super good

[scarlet marten]

not sure if this is the right channel but the SDK control panel won't show up, i imported everything before and after the sdk so i tried both ways and still nothing.

how am i able to fix this?

[bold ibex]

Is this the most recent VRC SDK off the official website?

[scarlet marten]

it is

[bold ibex]

nothing is in the console?

[scarlet marten]

there is an error but that error has never caused problems before to my other worlds

[bold ibex]

It let you upload with that error in the console before?

[scarlet marten]

it has

[bold ibex]

also just delete the file its referencing

[scarlet marten]

alright

its referring to something that doesn't exist

[bold ibex]

oh my bad navigate to that in windows file explorer

you wont be able to see the metadata in unity

[scarlet marten]

ooh oki

[bold ibex]

you can see it in file explorer tho

[scarlet marten]

would it be best to remove both of them?

[bold ibex]

try just the metadata since thats what the error called for

"delete the .meta file and it will be recreated successfully"

[visual narwhal]

It's my first time working with Canvases in VRC, does anybody know why this is happening, it seems to have a mystery large collider that blocks use while in the world but not in editor.

[scarlet marten]

alrighty

that fixed the error, but still not control panel

should i try reinstall the sdk again?

[mellow talon]

i had this pop up couple times by now. For everyone interested. It is possible to use gaia pro to create maps for vrc. You just have to be smart about doing it. The sdk 2/3 will break when importing gaia pro but making a second project and generating the terrain in a duplicate project and then import the generated terrain with settings into the vrc project makes it able to be used for vrc.

[forest geyser]

I dont know whats going on it doesnt want to launch

[bold ibex]

Clear cache via the VRCSDK

VRCSDK > Utilities > Clear Cache

[forest geyser]

@bold ibex it is no there

[bold ibex]

not ther

in the top bar

where you would open your VRC Control Panel

[forest geyser]

vrc control panel aint there

[bold ibex]

it doesnt matter if it is

i was just using it as an example of where to go

VRCSDK > Utilities > Clear Cache

[forest geyser]

clear cache and player perfs

[bold ibex]

yes

[scarlet marten]

so i have gone through most of the errors i have gotten now and fixed them but i'm basically still missing anyway to upload it because my control panel is still missing

[late valve]

Idk why but when I tried to publish the menu never shows up so idk what it is I am doing wrong but could someone help me on why this is happening?

[bleak fiber]

Hi Guys
I want to make a world with all teh halo aircrafts

i found a place with a aircraft kit

where do i find that kit in unity?

[amber schooner]

Hi, i made world and i updated UdonSharp and Unity , but somehow my world URL for the videos button not working anymore i made sure to redownload SDK and reimport SDK/Udon and Video player, i event tried new Video Player but still same problem , i can move volume , click resync and buttons but only URL isn't working , can anyone help me? thanks.

[kind leaf]

Assuming the aircraft kits you found are digital 3d models lol you just drag them into your project. There is no specified website for acquiring questionable or imitation content for unity.

[bleak fiber]

alright

thanks

[bleak fiber]

Well what if I want that kit to be in another plane

Like a halo pelican

And a car kit too

FOr

The legendary WARTHOG

https://tenor.com/view/halo-infinite-m12warthog-halo-video-games-xbox-series-x-gif-17889727

and uh im reinstalling unity

which version was it again?

[pure cloud]

what is the best way to pose a pickup-able avatar in world? for example, I already know how to make an avatar a pickup-able but i just want it to pose sitting on a chair

[kind leaf]

you can use an animator and just assign a sitting animation.

[bleak fiber]

@kind leaf What was the version of unity to use again?

im reinstalling it

[kind leaf]

2019.4.29f1

[bleak fiber]

ight

[bleak fiber]

30f1 does it?

[kind leaf]

only 2019.4.29f1
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive

unityhub://2019.4.29f1/0eeae20b1d82

[amber schooner]

still no one can help ?

[pure cloud]

so using the vrc starter kit prefab example, i copied the components to the avatar, but there is this one conflicting component where the controller is the respawn controller script instead.

i copied the triggerrespawn controller, adjusted the animation state, put the pose proxy_sit2 animation and the avatar spawns at origin and fell down when i press play

[dusk sapphire]

are you using the latest version of that prefab as well? author released an update for unity 2019

also see https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/migrating-from-2018-lts-to-2019-lts the section on missing VRCUrlInputField

sounds like it might be that

[amber schooner]

I will give it look , thanks alot!

[worthy horizon]

this bs! {breaks desk in half}

multiple worlds, across two different pcs, same bs >_<

[amber schooner]

yes made sure everything up todate even the video player , this what i get

[bleak fiber]

I dont understand this

Uh

Digital 3d models?

[short gulch]

Can you clarify what you mean by kits?

Did you just download a pack of halo models?

[bleak fiber]

Ripped from the game
And kit as in the system
The system where the aircraft flies

[worthy horizon]

ok i've had enough of this bug ridden shit show, me and my world content are moving to neos.

putting over 1 year of hard work into a massive world project just to ultimately be unable to even update it is unacceptable.

[nimble hull]

have fun

[bold ibex]

uhhh the animator component is disabled

Is that intentional?

[errant beacon]

bit late lol, but you might have to contact #vrchat-support for that
could also try right-clicking the VRChat SDK in the asset browser and hitting Reimport

[worthy horizon]

first i need to just close all this and relax before i break a keyboard in half

which would not be easy because this is an authentic 1986 IBM model M keyboard

[errant beacon]

that'd be like breaking a brick over your knee lol

[worthy horizon]

i have tried various revisions of the SDK, and even on separate computers , and even the copy of unity and the SDK the world was originally compiled with, even a fresh new instance with a new scene descriptor and pipeline manager

[errant beacon]

If it's an API issue it's likely serverside, which you'd need to contact support for

otherwise note that there was some server issues a while ago which should be resolved now, but that might've been the cause potentially?

[worthy horizon]

to me as a developer it smells like 120% server side at this point.

i've been fighting this particular set of bugs for weeks now

it originally started appearing on another large world project i just started shortly before the 2019 push

i speculate one part is in the class that deals with resuming partially completed uploads

[errant beacon]

would def recommend contacting #vrchat-support about the issue, not much I can think of to help if it's a serverside problem o:
including the errors would be helpful, not sure how helpful including the world IDs would be, but couldn't hurt afaik: http://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[worthy horizon]

cant say for certain since naturally i cant see the code

[kind leaf]

So, no scripts included in the rip will work in Unity/VRChat, setting them up is on you 100% and no support can be given for pirated content.

[wind kayak]

ok guys i dont know a single thing bout world developing but why since 2020 vrchat worlds went to shit did something happend?

[errant beacon]

not sure what you mean? o:

[wind kayak]

like a lot of worlds disappeared

especially the well done ones

[errant beacon]

might have been DMCAs or TOS-breaking worlds? otherwise check the website and see if the worlds appear there, might just be an API issue

[wind kayak]

mhmm

just logged in after a year today n i noticed that all the categories had boring worlds so

[errant beacon]

ah kk, in that case popular worlds from back then might just not be popular enough anymore to appear on the front page?

If you remember their names, you could likely find them with the search bar at the top-right

[kind leaf]

also, boring is subjective. I played flappy birds for 8 hours when I started vrchat. Loved that shit. And its on the list

[errant beacon]

^ there's also a world jam going on atm for obstacle courses, and lots of Udon game worlds made since a year ago

[bold ibex]

fook it try uploading it off your mobile phone hotspot data

and soley that

[amber schooner]

i think i got the same problem

it's this message ?

[errant beacon]

That's a seperate issue afaik - try logging out of the VRChat SDK and logging back in, or detaching the blueprint ID from the pipeline manager
otherwise, contact VRChat support o: http://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[bold ibex]

Remove the pipeline component completely but NOT the descriptor

[amber schooner]

i remove but new one show

that normal ?

[amber schooner]

it keep sign me out after each build , so i have always to login back

[worthy horizon]

i have seen that a few times, but resolved it by rebuilding the scene first

[amber schooner]

can u please explian it to me more clear , like click start icon before building ?

[worthy horizon]

it was usually sorted by using "build and publish" as opposed to "last build"

[amber schooner]

sadly not , not work , this new update giving me hard time

[worthy horizon]

i have retained unity 2018 and sdk2

[near escarp]

Contact the #vrchat-support and they'll fix that for you

[amber schooner]

i notice with SDK panal it only show 10% of stuff i upload

[bold ibex]

Yeah

did you try that yet too?

I guess you had to hm

[amber schooner]

i did delete SDK and did reimport

[bold ibex]

Oh wait what unity version are you on exactly and how recently have u got your vrcsdk

[amber schooner]

it used to work , i had problem i asked at mornign regards video player

[bold ibex]

oh ok

[amber schooner]

i went to Udon Sharp discord and they told me spam "reimport" and i did to fix the video player, so it worked at build test

but now my SDK is broken and wont let me update/upload my world

[bold ibex]

that sucks

[amber schooner]

yah. from problem to problem , but thanks for trying to help!

[worthy horizon]

no joke

[bold ibex]

Need some help. Whenever I try to build a world using a pipeline script, when I test it, the entire project turns to pink, can someone dm me please?

[worthy horizon]

uh like bright purple?

that's usually because a material is using legacy shader

[bold ibex]

Got something to do with the universal pipeline renderer

[green lagoon]

you cannot use Universal rendering Pipeline on vrchat

[bold ibex]

I figured.

Edition Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 21H1
OS build 19043.1165

VRCSDK2-2021.08.04.11.23_Public
VRChat v2021.3.3p2 (File Version 2019.4.29.60130 / Product Version 2019.4.29.977634)

Ever since we moved to Unity 2019.4.29f1 for VRChat programming, I can no longer get my, “Build & Test” to work, when trying to test my worlds, with my HTC Vive Headset, using the VRCSDK SDK2.

Never had a problem before, and now, I’m dead in the water.

When I do click the, “Build & Test” button, I get the, "The open scene(s) have been modified externally" window, and no matter which of the two options I click, the window simply goes away, and nothing happens.

When it used to work correctly, I would click the, “Build & Test” button, and VRC proceeded to start, and I could walk through my world, using my Vive headset and controllers.

I checked the VRC folder location, listed in the VRCSDK2, it is the correct location.

I made a screen capture of this action happening:

It's called "Comfy Cabin"

[kind leaf]

I have never seen a log that appears so useless

[outer terrace]

I uploaded a world and all avatars are muted in it, I cannot find the option in Unity to re-enable them. help?

Urgent

[near escarp]

muted avatars ?

If you mean private, you can make them public in your SDK content manager tab

[bold ibex]

Where are you seeing disabling portals??? #vrchat-general-1 message

Give us all the context

So no one can hear avatar sounds?

[errant beacon]

to clarify, can you not hear avatar sounds, or user voices?

[bold ibex]

Apparently only sounds made from anyone's avatars dont work at all for anyone there

Every other type of sound is fine

[jagged mason]

What's a way to make it so a pickupable stays in the same place while dropped, and ignores momentum from things like attached joints?

[outer terrace]

avatar x]sounds dont work

Please, this event is dying

I need more help too: I cannot ge tthis audio to work, it is SILENT inside the volumentric radius

I need sound to be cosnistent inside the audio source area

[errant beacon]

not sure, sorry o:
for the avatar sound issue, try importing https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and seeing if it says anything maybe, or try reuploading the world?

[bold ibex]

Your minimum distance in the normal audio component is set to 50

I think thats why

set it to like 0 or 1

and the max distance is 50.5? that also doesnt sound right

[errant beacon]

that'd leave a weird 50 centimeter thick bubble (from 50 meters) where you could hear the sound if I'm reading that right, yeah o:

[bold ibex]

Your gizmos must be lying to you!!

devious unity

[outer terrace]

try importing https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
I have that, no errors
try reuploading the world?
I am on reupload #21 in the last 4 hours

[bold ibex]

Did you try our suggestion yet?

Set min distance to 1 and max to like 250 for good measure

[outer terrace]

within the mindistance, volume is loud as possible

I need the sound to be full volume inside the minditance

[errant beacon]

Set the audio falloff graph to be constant instead of a logarithmic rolloff o:

[outer terrace]

there is no constant

there is linear and logarithmic

[bold ibex]

Linear

[outer terrace]

I have tried linear, same issue

[errant beacon]

should be able to drag it to be your own falloff iirc? might be wrong on that o:

set it to max/a flatish value if you can

[outer terrace]

Now I can hear it everywhere in the world

I need it to roll off sharply

[mellow vigil]

there is probably a really simple solution to this but i am new to vrchat world building, but why isnt my mirror rendering the world and just the skybox?

[sturdy lynx]

Reflect layers

[mellow vigil]

I am not sure what should be on and off

everything is on the water layer

[sturdy lynx]

Have you put your environment on a layer?

Like is your dome looking thing on environment for example

Or is it just the default one

[mellow vigil]

Yes everything in my scene is on the water layer which is why I am confused

oops

maybe i shouldnt post the blueprint id LOL

And I tried to import a new mirror from the prefab but it still was showing the same thing

Whnever I change the layer back to default, it works again

[sturdy lynx]

Show me an image of the dome in the inspector

[runic epoch]

does anyone know how I could make a scroll menu UI

with buttons that would display images and text when pressed

[mellow vigil]

this?

Ohh.. I think I fixed it for myself...

I put that layer on default

and now the reflection is showing

@sturdy lynx thank you for helping!

[bleak fiber]

Hrmph

im very new to world development

[feral bobcat]

Hi Everyone,
I created my first world in VRChat last week. I'd love to submit it to Labs...
How long does it take to level-up from New User to User???

[errant beacon]

Ranks aren't strictly based on time - generally just play the game, add friends, visit worlds, and don't get blocked/kicked/muted, etc o:

the time it takes is different for everyone, since everyone plays the game differently

if I had to guess though, probably somewhere in the 80-150 hour range maybe? could def be less though!

[feral bobcat]

OK, thanks @errant beacon! Does building worlds help build trust?

[errant beacon]

yup! Uploading content adds to your trust score

[feral bobcat]

Ok great! thank you 🙂

[errant beacon]

[dapper axle]

I feel like I see sth I shouldn't

[near escarp]

It just does that sometimes

[dapper axle]

for me always does tho

[near escarp]

Did your world actually upload ?

[dapper axle]

Nope, I keep pressing "Upload" button, but nothing initiates

[near escarp]

Restart Unity and make sure to check your console then

[dapper axle]

I uploaded this world before, but now it doesn't let me for some reason. Neither with same id, neither with the new one

[random owl]

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

[dapper axle]

yup, fixed! Thank you so much!!

I wish I had this extension sooner 👀

[pure cloud]

it is intentional. I just copied the components from the vrc starter to the avatar. It seems that it uses the animator function to respawn the object if it falls off world.

[winter trail]

hello, uhm i maybe need help to import my world to vrchat cus when i click on vrchat sdk it says utitles to clear cache and playerprefs. anyone know how i can fix it

[desert python]

check console for errors

[winter trail]

ive fixed it, but now i have a another problem xD, so whenever i click on Build & test it brings me to vrchat and then when i click "ok" in the loading screen then it just brings me back to the vrchat home world

[desert python]

i would build and publish privately. build and test will randomly do that. i also suggest having https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases/latest to see if anything else weird is happening

[winter trail]

oh okay

[outer terrace]

I cannot get a videoplayer component to play. I don't get any errors. It just doesn't play.

Yes, it is currently not active; it is disabled until the player starts it. It doesn't play when enabled.

[kind leaf]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/video-players
^Vimeo requires basic video urls so "https://vimeo.com/383935156"

[outer terrace]

No, I am using the direct links so the videos work on Quest.

[kind leaf]

So it doesnt work when you enable the player, how about if the player starts enabled?

[outer terrace]

Also does not work.

Also: how do I set the audio source for an AVPro player?

[viscid belfry]

is there a way to remove the highlight box that displays over objects when you want to interact with something?

[dusk sapphire]

is this sdk3? you cannot use video player components directly on sdk3, you have to use the vrchat provided video player components

[outer terrace]

Ah. I didn't know that...does it say that anywhere in docs?

[dusk sapphire]

should be there somewhere I think

[dusk sapphire]

you can use the vrchat provided components on sdk3 to play videos on quest

as long as its a direct link of course

the limitation for them not working on quest was only on sdk2

actually not sure if its properly documented, if it is i can't find it, but they were disabled a couple of patches before udon was updated with video player components https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202011p5

its not listed in https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/whitelisted-world-components

but neither is it listed as whitelisted for sdk2 and it still works there

[outer terrace]

I see, ok.

Streaming video players still don't work on Quest though, right?

[dusk sapphire]

iirc it works, but it needs to be a direct link and quest is a lot more picky with compatible streaming protocols

https://www.renderheads.com/content/docs/AVProVideo/articles/feature-streaming.html

[random arch]

hey how do you enable jumping in a world for udon 3.0? i found a tutorial but it looks to be semi outdated? can anyone link a newer one or explain it in a way an idiot can understand lmao

[silent furnace]

There is a script you need to add to vrc world that allows you to control gravity jump speed etc... I can't remember off the top of my head what it's called but it's pretty easy to do...maybe someone else here who is in front of their computer can recall what it is?

[errant beacon]

iirc the vrcworld prefab should already have that added in it's udonbehavior?

[random arch]

it uhh kinda nuked itself so i dont really Have a world prefab anymore

[errant beacon]

Right-click the VRChat SDK in the asset browser and hit Reimport lol

[random arch]

no i mean like

[silent furnace]

Its part of the sdk

[errant beacon]

there used to be VRC_PlayerMods for SDK2

[random arch]

i reopened unity today and all of this was just gone

[errant beacon]

ah kk
Check your console for errors/warnings? otherwise click something in the asset browser and hit Reimport All, though note it might take a while depending on how big your world is

[random arch]

theres 0 errors in the console ill try reimporting now and get back to you

im furiously saving

[errant beacon]

kk, if that doesn't work, remove the old VRCworld from your scene and add a new one

[random arch]

also i assume for making a world quest compatible its just changing the shaders to quest compatible ones?

but does that include mirrors? like is there an extra step i need to do with mirrors

[errant beacon]

you should probably look into lowering the resolution of the mirrors imo, but no there isn't anything special afaik

obv make sure they're disabled by default o:

[random arch]

yesyes ofcofc thankyou

i reimported and its looks like ima just have to make it again

not too much hassle

[potent girder]

I added the SimplePenSystem to my world and it makes lines just fine. How do I erase them? I don't see an option

[outer terrace]

Temporal, you are my hero today.

It works. Finally.

[potent girder]

The lines show up as a rainbow mark, but I don't see how to get rid of them, is it a component I need to add?

[errant beacon]

those are more suited as an example to show you how pens are made afaik, would recommend looking into something like VertexColorPens or something from VRCPrefabs o: https://vrcprefabs.com/

[potent girder]

do you know how to erase the prefab ones?

[errant beacon]

not sure, sorry o:
likely something you'd have to add to the udonbehavior, or make some other eraser object with it's own udonbehavior

[potent girder]

the pens you suggested, those are erasable?

[errant beacon]

yup! has an eraser prefab

[potent girder]

awesome, i'll look into them. thank you!

[errant beacon]

yw! c:

[worthy horizon]

so i tried building some new scenes in the same solution as the world I have been having hell trying to upload as a test

two new worlds, no problems so far uploading or updating either

which leads me to wonder if there is some kind of meta data that could cause "file descriptor is null ('file') during package upload

[grim crest]

I've been trying to get a video player in my world to work, but for some reason I'm unable to add a URL to the URL input field when in game. I Figured out that the problem was with a script called VRCUrlField. For some reason when I try to add that to the video player, it says there's something wrong with the script. How can I fix this? I've tried using different video players, but all of them have had the same problem (also tried them in other unity projects and they worked there, it's only this project they won't work in)

[placid quail]

Hey, so I'm making a world and when I pull objects into being children for other objects its distorting the object.

Is there any way I prevent this without manually re-entering the values?

[mild spade]

Do the parent objects have uniform scale? (ex. Scale x1 y28 z300) Try setting the parent object to 1,1,1.

[placid quail]

ok

[placid quail]

ty ❤️

Do I want to import the world SDK to assets?

Because I've done that and I lack the VRC tab....

Unity is on 2019, latest world SDK imported, VRC tab missing. What step did I skip here? XP

[errant beacon]

Yes - check the console for errors/warnings? should be a button to open that at the top-left of the asset browser
Also, make sure you're using Unity 2019.4.29f1 and no other version o:

i.e 2019.4.30f1 or 2019.4.28f1 won't work

[placid quail]

yes, 19.4.29f1

Lets see, I have this

Assets\Udon\Editor\ProgramSources\SerializedUdonProgramAssetEditor.cs(6,16): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'ProgramSources' does not exist in the namespace 'VRC.Udon' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

[errant beacon]

Right-click the Udon folder in the asset browser and hit Reimport? could also try Reimport All, though that might take a while depending on how big your project is

[placid quail]

No visible effect -.-

AHHHH I wish I knew what I was doing differant project to project that sometimes things work and sometimes they dont

[errant beacon]

Try Reimport All? otherwise sending an image of the console might help o:

[placid quail]

Nevermind, I spoke too soon, I just needed to give it a second to sort itself

[worthy horizon]

going to try creating a new scene, then copying over sections of my world in small portions, until i encounter what is causing the upload to fail

success so far

[vestal oriole]

I'm making my first world, and I'm using a very complicated setup that I didn't make as my map. VRC wants me to "setup layers," but I don't know what that means or if there's a chance it will mess things up. Can someone tell me what it does, if it might break things, and if I need to make a backup?

[mild spade]

What that does is it changes the first 22 layer names and their collision properties (physics) so that certain things cant interact with some things. For example something you can pickup will not collide with the player. For that to work on vrchat you need to set up the layers, which that buttons does it for you. If you didnt change any physics properties on the first 22 layers, you dont have to worry about anything breaking.

[vestal oriole]

Okay, thank you. I had something break earlier today, and now I'm hesitant to do anything lol. This is reassuring.

This happens when I try to build and test. It won't open the game, and even if I have the game open, it just won't go. What do I do?

[mild spade]

On the SDK settings tab, next to VRChat Client, do you see something like the image? (the location of the vrchat exe file)

[vestal oriole]

It just says \VRChat.exe

[mild spade]

Try clicking "revert to default" Are you using the Steam version of vrchat?

[vestal oriole]

I think I set it up now. Yes, through steam.

[mild spade]

ah ok, I hope that fixes it

[trim musk]

how would i achieve this effect?
an animated UI on the screen, so i can make a black fade when teleporting someone?

[distant pier]

Can I build and publish for android and windows at the same time instead of doing it separately?

[worthy horizon]

negative. not that i know of. they have to be separate projects

[green lagoon]

nope

[worthy horizon]

"cannot start an upload against anything but the latest version of this file" has been encountered again

now i wonder if its an asset bundle size related bug

[dusk sapphire]

they don't have to be separate projects, you can use unity cache server and https://github.com/JordoVR/EasyQuestSwitch to speed up your cross-platform work flows on a single project, and its much easier to avoid issues such as desyncing due to hierarchy differences.

[kind leaf]

uncheck future proofing

[worthy horizon]

i havent had future proofing enabled since over a year ago

[kind leaf]

Thats interesting. Do you use the toolkit? If so it might have the same recommendation regardless because there is a known bug that makes unity think its enabled when it isnt.

[worthy horizon]

hmm tooklit?

[kind leaf]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

[worthy horizon]

ah, negative

i'm currently trying to isolate the cause of this by incrementally copying small bits of the affected scene to a new scene, and uploading each time

[kind leaf]

yikes. Well, only with quest does the size matter, and even then it is a worldsize popup message you get. For pc your bundle can be as large as you want. If you dont have any luck you can try re importing the sdk fold by right clicking it and selecting re import. If that doesnt do it and you have no errors close unity, copy the folder to be safe, and delete the library. Then re launch. Never delete a library with unity open. And don't skip the copy backup.

[worthy horizon]

i have tried different SDK versions, the older copy on a different unity version, and even wholly different computers

the error is always the same more or less

so far the only success I have had is uploading essentially just the starting area of the project in a new scene

which is only a tiny fraction of the whole map

this seems to have started around the time of the 2019 update

before that i had no issues updating this project

[worthy horizon]

i may have isolated it to something within one section of the map

latest upload attempt went through again when i removed a certain stage from the world

added others to verify it wasnt a file size related event

[warm bear]

does it work if you export a package from unity 2019 and import it into unity 2018? does it work both ways?

[kind leaf]

Unity is forward compatible not backwards compatible. You can get newer stuff into an older project but you do not use the import feature. You create the newer project and manually move the items to the older project at your own risk.

[ripe haven]

I made an animation that just moves a mesh back and forth. I attached it to the mesh with the unity animation component, and when I press the unity play button, the animation plays like it should. however, when I build & test, it doesn't move at all. can someone help me with this?

[dusk sapphire]

the legacy animation component? its only white listed for sdk2 worlds, you'll need to use an Animator instead if on sdk3

[ripe haven]

ah, that seems to be the problem. I'll look for a way to change it to the animator component.

do you maybe know where I can find an easy explanation of the animator component? everything I find is either out of date or very confusing.

[dusk sapphire]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AnimationOverview.html

if you just want a single animation to play its pretty straight forward, you just need to create a new animator controller and place your animation into the base layer. In fact, how did you make your animation in the first place? It should have done that automatically.

[ripe haven]

I just created an animation, then selected my mesh. then I pressed the record button, moved the white line, then the mesh, and finally pressed the record button again to stop recording.

[dusk sapphire]

can you check if its actually an Animation component and not Animator? because doing that should have made an Animator

[ripe haven]

do you mean the component you add on the mesh in the inspector, or the filetype of the animation?

[dusk sapphire]

the component on the mesh in the inspector

[ripe haven]

it didn't make anything automatically, I had to add the animation/animator myself

i got this error when I put the animation into the animator

[dusk sapphire]

huh, i'm not sure how you created a legacy animation in the first place

top right inspector, click the 3 dots and select Debug, and you should be able to see a legacy checkbox on your animation file, uncheck that and see if that solves it. don't forget to set inspector back to normal.

[ripe haven]

did I set it up correctly?

[dusk sapphire]

looks alright

in future, when you make an animation, just open up the animation window and click create here
https://nyanpa.su/i/gHj01xBw.jpg
it'll make the animator for you and what not

i'm guessing you created the animation component on the object first, in which case it just makes the legacy animation clip instead.

[ripe haven]

yeah that's what I did

[ripe haven]

that seems to have done the trick! thank you so much for helping me!

[dusk sapphire]

no worries.

[bold ibex]

so i need help not sure where to ask this so sorry if im in the wrong chat i made a world and when you go to load in it it sends you back to your home world how do i fix this

[worthy horizon]

ok so i have confirmed that whatever is killing the upload is in a specific stage of my scene heirarchy

now its a needle in a hay stack to figure out which game object / component is responsible

[deft geode]

wut happened

i cant see the uploader anywhere

[bold ibex]

Whenever that or other odd issues happen go check your unity error console

You can click that red erorr bar at them bottom to open up the console

[worthy horizon]

last time that happened i had to remove the SDK and its meta data and re-import it.

hmm which makes me wonder if some meta data is the cause of my upload issue

given i see no actual assets that are corrupt or missing, maybe its some bad meta data from unity 2017...

[errant beacon]

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

[bold ibex]

try what zuvali said and if it doesnt give any info on fixes or doesnt fix it then you should delete the VRCWorld prefab and just make your own spawn with an empty gameobject

[bold ibex]

I made a video on how to fix

The point of copying the udon behavior is so that you can preserve the jump, speed, walk, and run settings. Can't jump without it

Can still run and stuff tho

[errant beacon]

trying to hide that you're running on Unity 2019.4.499 :pepelaugh:

but actually that's vv helpful lol, cool o:

[bold ibex]

PFfft it was only a typo how could you accuse me of such a thing!

You know how illegal it is to run that version right

[errant beacon]

aye, that version's been banned since the incident

[bold ibex]

this didnt work

[errant beacon]

try the VRWorldToolkit's world debugger? o:

[bold ibex]

Try deleting the Behavior component and reupload

maybe thats whats causing it then

Also try waht zuvali said: https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases

[deft geode]

i opened a scene by accident

and closed unity

how do i go back to old scene

[errant beacon]

Open the default scene, you might have been saving progress there

[bold ibex]

i just made a new world i fix the old one later but now im falling through the floor did i mess up the floor or spawn?

[errant beacon]

make sure the floor has a collider component?

[bold ibex]

how do i check that?

[errant beacon]

Click your floor mesh/gameobject, and look in the inspector for a collider component

likely either a box collider or a mesh collider

If it doesn't have one, add one and scale it to your floor if necessary - don't use mesh colliders on high poly count models though, things colliding with it would have to check against potentially every polygon on that model, which could get expensive

[bold ibex]

thanks fixed it

[errant beacon]

yw! c:

[worthy horizon]

and of course here we go again, a whole new error to deal with

its an endless cycle

lol i could have probably had another major world update done by now, but now weeks have been spent dealing with this bs

[errant beacon]

contact VRChat support if you haven't already? could be a serverside issue with the world
http://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[worthy horizon]

i have submitted reports on the last error, this specific error is actually also happening on another completely unrelated world that is in its own separate project, seems to happen even if i create a totally new world instance, which this is

now going to try pushing another upload with that specific part of the world removed

i would really like to know what these UUID files are, obviously its not any of my project contents, i'm guessing it's the bundled unity package files

[bold ibex]

hey does anyone know how to make a world pc and quest compatible

[worthy horizon]

inb4 isnt there a readme on the site faq covering this

[bold ibex]

Yes

[worthy horizon]

{this is the part where i start questioning if the datastore that houses the world file records has a failing drive in the RAID}

deletes world and tries to re-upload again

[potent girder]

Does anyone know how to make objects respawn after you throw them out of the world? I'm not sure what settings to do

[crisp sonnet]

Is it possible to customize avatar pedestals to not be wavy or not cut off as much of the avatar image?

[bold ibex]

So im trying to make a avatar world and for some reason when i keep uploading it, This comes up can anyone help me with this??

[worthy horizon]

that should be an option in the scene descriptor, at least it is in SDK2

[potent girder]

i looked at that before, and i found this

its SDK3, using udon

[worthy horizon]

respawn height

[bold ibex]

Trying to figure out how do I add music to my VR chat world with udon

[worthy horizon]

should also affect objects iirc

[worthy horizon]

just a song that plays on load should work as a game object with the sound clip attached

[bold ibex]

I’m trying to add like six songs

[worthy horizon]

ah so you'd want to have it as a disabled game object

[bold ibex]

Yes

[worthy horizon]

the last time i worked with audio controls was SDK2

[bold ibex]

Ah ok you know what I’m just gonna add One song how do you attach a song to a block

[worthy horizon]

i personally prefer udonsharp so far for scripting, but i have only touched sdk3 lightly

[bold ibex]

Ahh ok

[bold ibex]

How do I do that

[worthy horizon]

with that i'm betting you could reference many songs in the script, then pass a variable to it to select which is playing

[bold ibex]

Ya

How do you take this song in and attach it to a block for it to just play it whenever you load

[worthy horizon]

hm either add a child game object that is the audio clip or define an audio source component in the block directly

[bold ibex]

Like this

[worthy horizon]

the audio clip option will be your mp3/ogg/whatever
