It's in community labs until approved. I know I read somewhere where they dont make exceptions via contact but I cant find it on the doc so if you want to risk annoying someone seek the ticket option.
community labs is public btw, you just need to enable community labs in your vrchat settings to find lab content

could be busted but it is also finicky. Try testing it in a clean scene with a 50x50 plane set at 0,0,0 xyz and nothing in it but your vrcworld prefab and the karts.
sticking to the seat is common with that kart prefab, you need to play with its configuration

Get a cubemap/spheremap image as your skybox (HDRI might be a good search term), and import it into Unity. In the texture's import settings, make the texture shape be a cubemap/spheremap, or whatever's applicable.

Does anyone know the exact requirements Unity has for painting prefab trees on unity terrain... I have a prefab and it won't paint/is invisible[not sure which]
kind leaf
I guess you can look here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/terrain-Trees.html
shell meadow
Nothing there
kind leaf
are the invisible no matter your distance?
kind leaf
terrain auto handles lods, i wouldnt try using a tree setup with lods.
^because painted objects are scrubbed of all scripts/components so the lod on your prefab is deleted.
shell meadow
but you gotta have one to have the auto rotate work
kind leaf
the terrain handles that in billboard settings
try your shader idea. If it doesnt work take one tree, duplicate it, remove the lod setup so its just the tree, then add that and paint it
SpeedTree Modeler permits LOD's working with terrain but is subscription based. Alternatively you can skip painting trees and use something like easy scatter prefab which also has a price but there are free alternatives for "painting" prefabs.

Create empty game object, place where u want in world, add gameobject to spawn array on descriptor.

You can use the VRCWorld prefab as the spawn by itself, by dragging it into your scene

Drag the VRCWorld prefab at the point you want to spawn at, it's position will be your spawnpoint
make sure you only have one scene descriptor/VRCWorld, otherwise I'm not sure, sorry o:
stone marsh
in the descriptor, the section that allows you to place spawn points. If you tell it to have 1 spawn point or 2 or whatever number, but then don't put any gameobjects to act as a spawn point into that array, you'll get that error.
If you add the descriptor component to a empty game object, it will act as a spawn point unless a spawn point is explicitly set. If you just want a single spawn point, you do not need to use the spawn array and just use the descriptor by itself.

yea. It might not be the issue, but it might be a symptom of a bigger issue though like an Editor/UI issue with unity itself. But I'm purely speculating because that's odd behavior and you seem to be missing some UI.

The stuff is on the cube mesh itself right?

If it stays you prob have intersecting colliders
It's getting launched on spawn
Move the object further from each other. Let the pickup fall onto the floor at spawn
Or whatever object it needs to be on, table or whatever
Also make sure you don't have a box collider that is the size of your world. Like a large volume or something with a collider on it. Because any pickup in this collider would get yeeted
You might not get yeeted but objects that aren't kinematic would

I just put two mirrors facing each other with the base layer reflections of Default and Player and then changed the mirrors layer to Default instead of Water.

without music sync the only thing that makes it fancy is a clean UI, so any Unity UI tutorial and or a vrchat UI tutorial will get you there. To play music you just use an a vrc audio source and append the music file to it. You can setup a slider with ease using most tutorials for volume, script autoplay and when the song ends have it play the next. It's a bit much to walk someone through but if you just make a simple UI with one song you can expand from there.

I found out why the world upload keeps failing, and it was something so stupid. It was because i was using these prefabs from this asset i bought on the Unity Asset Store.

i downloaded the worlds sdk from vrchat.com 10 mins ago
i imported that
so unless the devs havent actually changed it there shouldnt be an issue with the sdk
green lagoon
maybe clothes unity and reopen it? as sometimes that helps
green lagoon
not for sure that it would fix it but figured it would be worth a try
green lagoon
unfortunately I couldn't find that error message searching the Discord
question can you get it to where you delete the vrchat SDK where that error log doesn't show up
before trying a reinstall
bold ibex
there was no errors without the vrsdk and udon folders
green lagoon
I guess another question how much is in your project at the moment
bold ibex
not much

like moving over to a fresh project so whatever baggage is causing that isn't occurring?

i tried it in a new project with nothing else
also how would one make a pickup item global and not local?

it doesnt show up

err might be only in SDK2

vrc special layers is a very old component and should not be used or needed, as you can just change the layer to anything you want without needing a special component.

this is all original, i had an image in my head for a chill world. and i built it

kind leaf
The overall idea is nice, i like your world. The lights are point lights right? They might be a bit to far from the light source because they radiance effects the wrong section above them near the ceiling and it just looks odd. Consider using emissions for those or moving the point lights in closer maybe. Other than that the only thing I would add are colliders so you cant walk off the world 🙂 You seem to have future additions sorted so I think you'll be fine there. You're off to a good start tho, can't wait to see it when it's completed.
kind leaf
yep, perfect volume for me
finite light
okay, just wanted to make sure.
apparently tho rn, the VRM converter isnt importing into unity right now
is it certain project type i need to use other than 3D
or is it best to just use VRCSDK3 Avatar

What are you trying to import?

well to start to see if i can successfully upload one, im using a modified VRoid template
kind leaf
oh, yeah you will need a new project for that using the sdk3 avatar
finite light
oh okay, then i have the SDK3 imported already, i couldnt import the VRM
kind leaf
vrm isnt supported by unity. I dont do avatars so it might be best to check out #avatar-help but from what I can tell is that you need an import/export unity asset to aid in the handling(UniVRM?). But check with the Avatar channel to be sure.

Naw need to participate in all the above to gain rank.
finite light
oh
so im on the right track
VRM is actually supported in unity, i was just importing it wrong
first, i had to bring VRM converter out of the WinRar file on my desktop
then put it in unity
i was skipping a step there
green lagoon
there's some optimizations you can do in VRoid Studio. that would probably help out for a quest build and optimization in general

i am putting my avatar on a pedestal now

^ The camera clipping part is where it asks for the reference camera in the VRCWorld prefab. Assign the Main Camera to the reference and that allows VRChat to gather the settings from that camera. Then set the Main Camera's near setting to .01 and you have eliminated cam clipping for anyone that doesnt have a broken avatar.

World Portal Question.....is there a way with world portals in world to have a Fixed Instance with world IDs?
kind leaf
Not sure what you mean but when you add a world portal to your build everyone will always be sent to public.
regal hollow
its more so used for connecting worlds together for RP with world set to friends or invite
so like example
Big World 1 wrld id/ jk115r3458 etc ..... (instance:1934)
small World 1 wrld id/ j3565g8 etc ..... (instance:265)
Big World 1 wrld id/ j2036394j etc ..... (instance:4572)
and use that to link big world 1 to a small world area that leads to another big world 2
Keeping users within those instance when they travel between
more so towards RPG type worlds
wary birch
One message removed from a suspended account.
regal hollow
looks like thanos did that
kind leaf
more so towards RPG type worlds
Yeah, simulating scene transitions. Only public right now which defeats the purpose. Once we have groups you can assign the players to a group when they are in a world and require a specific group to join the connected worlds making it easier.
^assuming they give us access to group management from udon.
regal hollow
it would break the group system when the group slits from one world .... and by then it be 2 instance again =/
kind leaf
Naw groups are going to be a vrchat thing so you can have worlds that require people to be members of Senji's group to join a world.
So its not instance based but if we can add or change a group from within an instance that would solve that issue.
its all hypothetical but world one you have no group, finish the last quest and you auto join Senji1, move through the portal. Complete the last quest in room2 and you auto join Senji2 allowing access to room3's portal
You could use a code system. When completing the last quest you receive a code. Walk through the portal into a transition room with a prompt for the code. Enter the code and get teleported to the play area. So you can have the extra scenes hosted publicly but only a person with the code can actually get into them.

what exactly is failing when you try to publish your map?
that sounds like you have a compile error in your project, that is not necessarily related to any of those which you imported
check your console, make sure collapse is checked, and scroll up to see the other errors
I know for certain silent's clear water shader works
and unless those other shader's come with editor scripts that are causing errors in your project, i see no reason for them to cause that to happen as well
try to go into play mode
if you updated to 30f, did you get the latest sdk as well?
can you show the full errors in the console?

i cant upload to quest because of this

sometimes the errors don't properly show up, you just need to restart unity editor

are you saying they dont respawn because of the object sync?
stone marsh
if you want to respawn your objects if they fall of the world, they need to not be kinematic. They need to have gravity so they fall, they need the obj sync and a VRC_Pickup. (you probably don't need allow collision transfer if they are just normal random clutter pickups) and you need to set it to respawn in the scene descriptor and they will respawn at whatever height you have set in the "Respawn height Y" section of the scene descriptor. If the obj behavior is set to destroy (default) they will just go away instead of respawning.

yeah folks do a lot more editor extensions in vrchat to help automate stuff probably cuz stuff can get a lot more complicated
and if you have any questions about how things differ like what stuff people put in their maps on vrchat feel free to ask

like a good chunk of vrchat Worlds have a mirror you can turn on and like some markers to doodle in the air as an example
and there's prefabs one can grab to handle both of those

One more question. How long dose it take to go from New User to User ? And is making friends , spending time and uploading the only way?
stone marsh
Everything you do either gains or loses points. Play time is a small part of it. There is no easy "how long will this take" answer. Really depends on how you play, if you get blocked or kicked a lot, friends you make, content you upload, etc. All gains or loses points.
Typically, doesn't take long. But really depends on you and how you play

Hello! I have a quick question. Has anyone run into the issue of objects in a world when you hold them, make your frames drop really bad?
stone marsh
Is this your world, or just in general? And is it all worlds or just a few?
tepid eagle
It works for a world with nothing in it but a directional light and a floor but as soon as we put it into an optimized world it tanks frames
stone marsh
Do your sync objects have transfer ownership on collision enabled?
And how many sync objects are we talking about?
Also, what are these sync objects?
tepid eagle
I sent you a message. I was gonna show you how this is set up
stone marsh
You should also consider using the Profiler to ensure your performance hit is indeed related to the pickups.
My DMs are disabled sorry. You can share screens here for people to help ya
tepid eagle
Where at
stone marsh
Here
tepid eagle
by Screen grabbing I'm guessing
stone marsh
No, sharing screenshots of your issue items
stone marsh
But ya should look into turning off collision ownership transfer on the pickups.
Are all those audio sources enabled?
stone marsh
A lot of audio sources can cause a hit to performance. You'd want to ensure they are disabled by default and turned on when needed if you have that many.
Should really check the profiler to make sure you identify the culprit.
tepid eagle
Where can I find the Profiler to be sure.
stone marsh
Are your pickups kinematic or do they have gravity?
In the Window tab in unity
Frame debugger and profiler
stone marsh
If you have a ton of pickups it can start hitting performance as well. Kinematic can help reduce collision checks instead of using gravity.
There is also an awesome script by CNLohr that is a much, much faster sync method for pickups. It would work for you if your pickups don't move after they are dropped via collision. It can handle thousands of sync objects and still get 100+ fps. https://github.com/cnlohr/brokeredupdateandsync
Turn Vsync off too
Vsync is a cursed drain on performance and may be misleading you. I can't tell from the screen if that's greenish or yellow tho
tepid eagle
Does this work for SDK2?
stone marsh
Oh you're on sdk2. No
tepid eagle
Yes at the moment i'm on SDK2
stone marsh
Unless anyone else has any suggestions only thing I can recommend is disable collision ownership transfer and disable your audio sources and toggle them on when needed via animation.
What you're doing would probably, honestly, be easier to do in sdk3 as well but that's up to u. Good luck
tepid eagle
Thank you M E R C
stone marsh
But yea, the profiler will help. Learn to use it. It's very useful
tepid eagle
I will thank you again

Hiya, can anybody help me with making my grass move in my unity scene? (using sdk3 udon) Ive made some png plants in photoshop ive put on transparent panes. I set a special wind zone and used the speedtree8 shader in unity with the wind set to fastest but nothing in scene moves when i test or upload.
Ive never done this before so very much a beginner, Id really appreciate any pointers.
kind leaf
this is a moving grass and tree shader https://www.dropbox.com/s/1a31uyvgls5xj8f/Moving Tree and Grass Shaders.zip?dl=0
speedtree8 is normally for terrain which is an option just more poly
when you paint grass using the terrain it will respond to the terrains wind settings
you can find more useful shaders/prefabs/tools/tuts here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml#

is it normal that worlds cant be published even after a week?
stone marsh
When did you publish last, provide actual date/time shown on world on website
And as a reminder, even if you publish a world, and take it down, you have to wait a week. And it's a full 7 day week, so you need to wait till the 8th day basically.
tired igloo
well the truth is, i published a world last monday as a test to see if it work and it did, so i deleted the world, and made a new one
so obviously i had to wait a week until i could republish
yesterday was monday and i tried publishing the new world and it said i couldnt
so i tried it today and i still couldnt do it
i dont remember what time i did it tho last monday
im guessing 8pm
and now its like 9:30pm

Anyone know if Audiolink has a discord server? I'm getting compile errors after upgrading to the latest version, despite following all of their instructions
stone marsh
Clear all your errors and attempt to enter play mode and screenshot the errors that persist. Need to see ALL of the red stop sign errors in your console. Might be helpful.
silent furnace
I nuked it all and reverted back to an old version. (rant on) These updates are becoming a serious pain for world development, all I do is constantly update stuff, and get nowhere in actually progressing with the world itself. SDK, Unity, VRSL, Audiolink, and UdonSharp update all in a month....I can't keep up with this.(rant off)
Anyway I'll try to take another stab at this another day when I have more time and patience :)
stone marsh
Audiolink hasn't updated since June tho.
But yea. It's a lot of work making content xP
But, at the end, It can be very rewarding, and you learn a lot in the process. And every time you fail or start over, you'll do it better and better.
odd wharf
Plus updates are usually a good thing in the grand scheme of things
silent furnace
There must be something incompatible somewhere.... I put everything to the latest version, and I'm getting Assets/AudioLink/Scripts/AudioLink.cs(20,0): System.Exception: User type AudioLink could not be found
I have another world that was built from scratch in 2019 and I'm not getting that problem, so I'm at a loss what it could be.
For now I'm just going to leave that world on 2019.29 and the older SDK because it 'works' at this point :)
stone marsh
sending a screen of all your red stop sign errors in your console after you attempt to enter play mode would be helpful. it may or may not have been audiolink. Coulda even been something as dumb as just needing to restart or even a totally different unrelated script, who knows.
silent furnace
Yeah true enough. On a side note (avatars) the VRCCamera when you go to set your avatars picture doesn't work in the latest SDK either (you can't see it), so there seems to be a few glitchy bugs in this last version, so I'm going to wait for the next update before I try it again.

So Im having an issue right now.
I had imported an sdk2 prefab into my world and had conflicts with my sdk 3. I got that solved and was able to build and test and even had the option to build and publish. I reimported the prefab cause I needed some stuff from it and then got the sdk conflict again and started to clear it up and at this point im fairly sure I have because it is not throwing errors at me and I can open the control panel.
THE PROBLEM IS that the Builder tab is completely blank. I thought maybe this was because of the update to Unity Version 2019.4.30 but when I installed the new version and brought the project over the problem is still there. The Builder tab is completely blank. Has anyone come across this issue and if so how did you fix it
worthy horizon
yay all that work to port the project to 2019 and what do i win? the same damn error on upload.
random owl
Well the top one is a server side problem with the world id, either use a new one or contact #vrchat-support
worthy horizon
this is a new id actually
i traced this down to likely a server side issue in the multipart upload class
bold ibex
multipart? sounds fancy wonder what that means

First tep in cleaning house is to export your package not including dependencies and then rebuiild from the export. it will get rid of anythign you wernt using
U'll have to reimport the sdk/u#/shaders in the new project.
Organizing is on you. Some things can be moved, some things cant. Stay away from anything SDK related.

Hi. So I have a 20 foot tall staircase. Not to keep bringing up Altspace but that is what I am used to. In Altspace we can fly or teleport onto the staircase. We don't seem to be able to do that in VRChat. The staircase is meant to be climbed. I am not sure how to make that work. I have added a mesh collider to it. I have also seen worlds that have a transport function within the same world. I was wondering how to do that? Or any other suggestions?
