[bold ibex]

finally making it possible for quest users to become fumo

[small lotus]

Idk what rank you are but you should just need new user or user i think

[bold ibex]

why can I make public avatars but not public worlds lmao

[small lotus]

I really have no idea tbh

Havent tried to upload a world

[bold ibex]

I see

thanks

does anyone else have any idea what might be going wrong?

[untold pewter]

No idea, did you loose rank?

[bold ibex]

I don't think so lmao

it says I can upload avatars and worlds

and I did upload the world, but I can't publish it

(that's the thing, I only made this world because a few people asked me to make my avatar available through a world, so they're kind of waiting on me for this to be finished)

apparently I'm still in "new user" rank, despite having been on VRChat for the better part of an year

[stone marsh]

Like the warning states, you don't have the correct Trust Rank to upload to labs.

You need to be a User to upload to Labs.

Time in game doesn't really gain you rank so however long you've played for doesn't really matter. Think of it like a point system. You need a certain amount of points to get to a specific rank. Actions such as friending people, being unfriended, being blocked, being reported, going to worlds, etc all earn or take away points. Getting VRC+ tends to give a small jump in points as well.

basically, you need to play. Once you're a User, you can publish to labs.

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-community-labs

[bold ibex]

Damn it

Oh well, time to get some points ᗜˬᗜ

[lost roost]

This is going to sound like a silly question, but does vrchat bow support worlds in unity 2019 version now?

As I was creating a world in 2019 version a couple months ago, realised that I couldn't see the world when I uploaded it and then couldn't edit my world with probuilder in 2018 version of unity

[stone marsh]

VRchat uses Unity 2019.4.31f1

Other versions aren't supported with the current SDK.

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/current-unity-version

[urban epoch]

Having the UI_Shape component tells VRChat to automatically assign the right Event Camera during runtime, so as long as you're using that you're fine 👍

[eternal summit]

anyone know where to get a "better video player"

i have one but i need to find something that works better for sdk2

[stone marsh]

https://github.com/MunifiSense/Hangout-Player Hangout player is a decent option.

Thing is, nobody is really maintaining SDK2 players anymore.

[eternal summit]

this is the one i have

it glitches a lot

never stays in sync

[eternal summit]

i can see that

is probably why its not working on point most of the time on my end

and i have one for sdk3 it works perfectly

[untold pewter]

[digital adder]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/887035398587547708/895481979208884304/unknown.png why am i getting this on windows publish? Did it lose its mind?

[untold pewter]

try restarting unity

[cerulean echo]

you ar on android then

[untold pewter]

i had that earlier with an avatar

[digital adder]

it said build and publish for windows however

[untold pewter]

it just gets confused

[digital adder]

so just switch build targets?

@untold pewter?

[tawdry apex]

i have a problem, i do not know where else to put this, but when i put object sync in a world, It syncs between pc and pc, and quest and quest but it doesnt sync between quest and pc

im not sure what im doing

[near escarp]

you need to have identical hierarchies between the two platforms'

[tawdry apex]

its litterally A copy of the world tho

im still having it

[near escarp]

[tawdry apex]

yeah idk why eaither

[tawdry apex]

im going to ...try again, maybe somehow something got deleted in the heirarchy but i just seem to have no luck to get it working between platforms for some forsaken reason

[near escarp]

yes

[tawdry apex]

okay i did a second test , both hiarchys are the exact same, this time, only like SOME of the items synced between platforms, and most didnt

i dont know....wtf is going on

last time, like nothing synced

am i cursed?

exact same heirchy.... as far as i can tell

all items have object sync

[twin elbow]

When I am uploading an avatar for a world on sdk2 2018.4.20f I get to the part where I can configure the name and presets of the world, but the problem is.. I cant click anything, it is just frozen

[tawdry apex]

its still happening

i feel cursed

nobody else i know has this problem

[fast python]

I keep trying to upload or test my world and it won't work

It just returns this error

@near escarp you got any idea?

[near escarp]

restarted unity already ?

[fast python]

Yep

I initially assumed it might be because I was using 30 still

Installed 31 and the newest SDK to no avail

[tawdry apex]

okay, turns out its working.........ONLY IF i choose to make the world COMPLETLY identical...That means if i wanna add anything on my pc world thats NOT quest compatible, I cant otherwise my object sync stops working... IDk why it has to be exacly the same, but it breaks if i dont??

[fast python]

Any other ideas?

[dusk sapphire]

you can, just have empty game object place holders on the quest version to keep the hierarchy in sync. its due to the way network id's are generated based on the hierarchy.

[tawdry apex]

i actually tried that, and it still broke

;;

im at a loss

[near escarp]

Are you working off of a new saved scene or the sample scene ?

[fast python]

Sample

[tawdry apex]

i just wanna keep my video player on the pc side, while still keeping the object sync between quest and pc.

[dusk sapphire]

are you on sdk2? because this isnt necessary on sdk3 and video players work on quest there

[tawdry apex]

i am sdk 2

im not using video on quest tho

just on pc

[dusk sapphire]

just leave the video player hierarchy disabled on the quest version

[fast python]

Moved everything to a new scene and no dice

[dusk sapphire]

do you have other errors in your console? if so show them

[near escarp]

lmao

get rid of all free sky

[dusk sapphire]

allsky free strikes again

[near escarp]

an old time classic

[dusk sapphire]

just delete the script throwing that error

[bold ibex]

its my first lol

[dusk sapphire]

you don't need the scripts to use the skybox

[bold ibex]

yeah just hit delete

[fast python]

I take it this is a common issue?

[bold ibex]

what is that script supposed to be for anyway

[fast python]

I was just searching for free overcast skyboxes lol

[dusk sapphire]

for their demo scene to switch between skyboxes in play mode or something

[bold ibex]

aah

[dusk sapphire]

its common because this is one of the most common free sky box assets people download, and their demo script has been incompatible since unity 2018

[near escarp]

allfreesky, simplelightprobeplacer and another one i can't remember

[dusk sapphire]

standard assets has 2 scripts that throw errors in unity 2019 now too if you're using it for sdk2, but can just delete them as they have no real use in the context of vrchat.

[fast python]

And now I can get back to working on my exceedingly simple avatar world lol

[tawdry apex]

YES It works

thanks for the idea to just disable it

that seemed to do it

[toxic wraith]

How do you destroy game object using button in world SDK-3 ?

[errant beacon]

#udon-general - you might want to look into object pools o:

[shell meadow]

where could I find these default looking mirror buttons I see in so many worlds?

I've looked through the vrc assets and udon default assets and cant seem to find them, I think im missing them somewhere

[green lagoon]

https://booth.pm/en/items/1969082 @shell meadow

[subtle cradle]

So I updated my world SDK and Udon does not work at all, a bunch of missing scripts from the newest SDK ARE not there from SDK3.0 World stuff

[bold ibex]

Do you happen to use U#? I haven't heard of this problem but wild guess it might be related to this, you can try asking in their discord too for a lead

[subtle cradle]

? U#?

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp

[shell meadow]

Thank you!

[bold ibex]

If you don't know then you probably don't have it

lets you code in C# and then converts it to Udon Graphs

[subtle cradle]

Well I know nothing about C# at all, But I guess I'll just re make a new project I guess and put the SDK into it.

[bold ibex]

hope it works out

[subtle cradle]

I dont know why it deleted most of the Udon things...I dont understand

Update: Pretty much Saved everything NOT related to the SDK into a export package and made a new Project.

[heavy tusk]

I have this weird black orb in my world that appears in-game, it follows players around, not sure what it is or how to get rid of it 🤔

[fast python]

Trying to make a custom model for avatar pedestals but the thumbnail always gets distorted. Anyone know how to make a good pedestal?

[slim coral]

Global Fog seems to be causing visual glitches with mirrors, regardless of type.
Is it possible to disable fog entirely in mirrors?

[near escarp]

do you have post processing in your world

[heavy tusk]

I do, I saw the issue around 15 minutes ago. I have occlusion baked into my world, for some reason with the far clip value being 100 or less, this issue appears. I have it set to 1000 right now, and the issue goes away. I'm not sure why

[stone marsh]

I was gunna say it looks like your far clip. You need to ensure that it goes far enough to render everything in your scene. A value of 100 is very low.

[heavy tusk]

Woah, really? What's the proper way to cull faraway objects then 🤔 Or do I just rely on something hiding it

[stone marsh]

Occlusion culling, LOD groups, or designing the world such that you maximize the use of Unity's frustum culling. Occlusion culling allows objects that are hidden behind an opaque object to be culled whereas frustum culling purely culls anything not in the view frustum. Objects need to be set to occluder static to occlude objects set to occlude static and you have to bake occlusion in occlusion culling menu. It's ideal to ensure the scale of all your objects is correct as well, Ideally 1:1:1, adjusting the scale on the FBX scale itself or in blender. Occlusion culling carries it's own performance overhead so it's important to consider all options and use everything in tandem where needed rather than overly relying on any singular method while profiling your world using the profiler and frame debugger tools.

Far clip will indeed stop you from rendering anything past a certain distance, however, everything should ideally be culled anyways. Using far clip to cull objects can be done of course, however, it's not ideal as you'd have to space objects far apart, and the further you move things from the 0:0:0 point, the more issues will happen because of it. The default far clip should be fine for most use cases, so long as you are using the culling systems while profiling to determine what is best for your project.

[stone marsh]

I should have noted too, As for why Ruubick asked about post processing, it's because it looks like you may have a post processing volume around your world, and your far clip value of 100 is most likely too close to render the extent of the volume, so the volume is being far clipped, thus why the circle is rendering everything but what looks like post processing. Changing the size of your volume would/should fix what you see, but I feel considering everything else is also important so I mentioned it. Good luck

[fallow geode]

anyone having trouble with video player in worlds

[ionic reef]

why do i get this?

the script is for all my mirror toggles and such

[random owl]

What Unity version are you on?

Just making sure

Otherwise you might wanna post pictures of what you actually have on the mirrors

[ionic reef]

the newest one

with the newest sdk 2.0

2019.4.31

also this world has been working for a year, i just updated the sdk that's all

[random owl]

And what do you have on the mirrors?

[kindred kestrel]

just wanted to ask last night my world had its heat on 5 and now it is on 0 is there a bug atm with it or what is going on

[quick lintel]

Is there a tutorial how to make slider for Bloom effect ?

[sterile sigil]

@ionic reef isn't the current unity version 1019.4.30f1?

I'm having a strange world issue where sometimes when someone enters a teleport trigger it like brakes and they start teleporting to the wrong place it dose not happen all the time it only sometimes happens

[stone marsh]

Heat gets reset like once a week or something like that.

[kindred kestrel]

k thank u did not know what was going on

[bold ibex]

for some reason the VRCSDK breaks all the time and also when i open the unity project. anyone know how to fix ?

[narrow geyser]

Whenever I try to build and test the world it loads and will stop for a moment but nothing opens up

this shows up

but no window to test it

when I tried to publish it there was no window either

[bold ibex]

all your problems can be solved by reformatting disk

[narrow geyser]

should I also delete windows system32

[bold ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/my-computer-trash-bin-erase-delete-elderly-gif-17041770

install linux instead 10/10 would recomend

[narrow geyser]

so helpful, thanks....

I just got this

[rough abyss]

How can I set a UI RawImage render last, so it can render through walls and floor?

I'm using world space canvas

[bold ibex]

Hi

Does anyone know anyone who can create a world? I have an idea, I’m just not good with Unity.

ok, so I wanted to keep a history of versions of my world

does making a new scene export both scenes or only one?

[bold ibex]

only 1

[bold ibex]

its 2019.4.31

technically 2019.4.30 should still work

but ive heard of odd issues using the newest sdk in 2019.4.30

[blissful ingot]

When I create a world, can I publish it so nobody can visit it unless it's me and other people via invite only?

I want to do some testing before I make it public

[rigid tusk]

Yes this is an option, even after you make it public you can always change it back. it will be invite only by default

[blissful ingot]

thanks

[bold ibex]

hey i need a amplifier for a DJ booth, anyone have a good one?

[bold ibex]

having issues not being able to build and test for quest any reasons why?

button is just greyed out

[desert python]

you cant

[bold ibex]

unless I switch back?

each time, would that work.

[desert python]

yep

[bold ibex]

ok ty

[frigid estuary]

[SDK2] Could it be that the Hangout Player doesnt work anymore at all? I'm having trouble loading in videos. Tried it the past 4 days repeatedly and the the videos always either stopped 4 seconds into the video or never played. It also did it for everyone else. It was simple YouTube videos.

[pearl scarab]

That is youtube throttling the download. The only solution currently is to have the user refresh the video to try and get a freshly resolved copy of the url.
There are some technical issues with youtubedl (thirdparty tool that vrchat uses to resolve youtube links) and it hasnt been update in a few months due to the main dev "taking a break". Vrchat has yet to update to any of the forks of the tool, so the issue will continue to show up until they update to a new youtubedl version/fork that has the necessary work around for the throttling issue

[frigid estuary]

thank you, it's at least good to know why this is happening

[ocean jackal]

trying to update my sdk2 avatar world but I keep getting this message and it won't let me upload it. Is there a way to fix it?

[mild spade]

I think those errors can be ignored. If you cant upload there must be other errors besides those two.

[ocean jackal]

I get this message first

oh I can ignore it

but I still cant upload

nvm I got it

thanks anyway

[muted anvil]

what's the preferred way of doing a fade-to-black transition?

[digital adder]

so i have strange issue where on play main camera is jsut turned off? this prevents post from working...

[near escarp]

screen space shaders usually

@muted anvil Try this one with a black texture !

[muted anvil]

ah thanks! I was struggling to find a basic screen space shader

[near escarp]

Then all you need to do is to keyframe the opacity

[muted anvil]

perfect

thank you

[near escarp]

[bold ibex]

I seem to try and upload my world,but the problem is that i dont have a scene discriptor,when i put one in, im logged into the right account, it’s saddening to see i can’t work on unity anymore.

Doesn’t work after that just continues saying it over and over even ignoring.

[storm scarab]

anyone have experience with porting .bsp maps into vrc (unity)? ive looked around online and it looks like ports are possible, but textures are an issue.

[sharp bloom]

im wondering, what prefab do they use here in meroom, ive seen it in a few other worlds but i cant find correct keywords to find it anywhere on something like booth

[misty wave]

https://booth.pm/ja/items/1776111
This is a very similar one

[sharp bloom]

that seems interesting, but would love to find something that links with those twitter tags

[misty wave]

I'm not 100% sure but it looks like this one might?

https://booth.pm/ja/items/1829776

It's odd that I can't find that one bc I've seen that exact one before also

Btw there's a big particle sale on the Unity Asset store. Not sure how many of them can actually be used on VRC but there's a ton of cool ones.
https://assetstore.unity.com/publisher-sale (Ending in less than 24 hours!)

Humble software bundle also has a ton of neat assets.

hello, i'm eager to put a swimming pool in my world with buoyancy / swimming.

i've seen some worlds in the past when they were showing off SDK3 which included realistic water / swimming

seeking some help on how to make something like this

or if there are existing assets i can draw from

[misty wave]

Hmmm, this shows up but the link is dead, maybe you could contact them?

thanks iTwango
i'm experimenting with this one
https://booth.pm/ja/items/2127684
i'll let yas know if its any good

That looks awesome! And it's free too, that's crazy! please do let me know if it works, I favourited it haha

[livid mountain]

How I can delete my private map from VRChat? (if it's possible)

Oh seriously. I just missed it. Thank you very much!

Thanks. And one more question. Can I replace my world if I update Unity?

[livid mountain]

I've updated it

[surreal nebula]

whats a players collider size, vertical and horizontal?

[native cobalt]

Anyone know how to fix the issue with the billiards table breaking other pickup objects in the world? It's forcing my objects to be pushed out of zone unless I enable kinematic, trigger or disable the colliders.

[undone meteor]

What's a good place/asset pack to get some good materials for VRChat? New to worldbuilding and I'm struggling to find any really good ones that aren't missing maps or plain don't work.

[near escarp]

Anyone else run into shaders randomly failing to compile? It seems to be happening more and more to every shader I use in Unity...
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/677081461383495691/896645730171764746/unknown.png

This is becoming a problem as many of my shaders are slowly becoming unusable as I continue working in Unity..

Anyone have a fix for this?

[pure cloud]

are there any way to make asset import faster? or maybe a way to have unity show a countdown timer when it's finished importing because the loading bar always frozen not knowing when will it finish

[near escarp]

It's faster in 2019, but nope

[tawny ermine]

Tried out this new water swim system for Udon
https://booth.pm/ja/items/2127684
Get Errors out the wazooo and can't launch after i import

[near escarp]

Is your udon sharp up to date ?

[tawny ermine]

I saw it was complaining about UdonSharp so i went to the GitHub and imported latest unitypackage

is there more to it than dragging it in?

[near escarp]

I would hope not, is there no readme ?

Is your SDK3 up to date as well ?

[tawny ermine]

I'm using unity 2019.4.31f1
SDK3 fresh from website last night

ill see if theres more doco..

the tool from booth was tested on an earlier version of udonsharp

so i will try installing that

oh damn
it worked!

thanks for letting me bounce off you

[near escarp]

[storm scarab]

Hey so I recently uploaded a world to labs, and it has a lot of work to do, but as far as I understand, maps don't have to be actually fully completed to be uploaded correct? I went into world management and I see its been reported by someone. I definitely do not have anything against TOS so the only thing I can think of is a troll, or someone who thought the world should not exist in the public realm

https://vrch.at/wrld_ac92d340-de71-4172-ae27-e7daa3036437

When I say a lot of work, I mean a lot of work. I basically just uploaded it to labs so I could invite friends and go over what I'm adding, including where everything will be and discussing things with a map maker

I've heard a lot of horror stories of people being reported and getting banned despite not actually being guilty, and then not getting their account back. I'm not saying this is true, however, how thorough of a review process is done for worlds that are reported. Surely, just because of reports I wouldn't be punished, correct? The moderation team will actually go through the world to see if its legitimate?
Another question I have, is there any way I can see what my world was reported for?

[green lagoon]

https://gist.github.com/mauricesvay/1330cc530f6ab2ef33eb6a5ea56ef5bd

[storm scarab]

Okay disregard previous message then, just did some research and apparently every world starts off with 1 report for some publicly unknown reason.

[west rover]

I've recently started out developing worlds. Having a lot of fun evolving it into something worthwhile, but I want to incorporate some prefabs only available on booth.pm The Pixiv login, required to download from booth.pm, simply won't let me sign up, returning "That email cannot be used". Internet lore suggests Pixiv is trying to prevent throwaway email addresses being used, like Gmail, so I tried my work domain and still no success. I turned to their support, telling them: "My email addresses cannot be used. What email address can be accepted?" They replied "That email cannot be used. Try another." Since that is spectacularly unhelpful, I wonder if anyone here has struggled and then succeeded in registering a Pixiv account from a public, perhaps lesser known, email service. Beats me trying them all for the next 2 hours if someone already knows one that works!

[dusk sapphire]

huh, i'm pretty sure my booth accounts use my gmail

[west rover]

Perhaps it's new, did you register recently?

I only tried last week

[dusk sapphire]

nah its a few years old at least

the login page lets you sign up with a twitter, gmail, facebook and apple id directly though?

[west rover]

That might be it, when I searched on this, they introduced some change or other to acceptable email addresses

I KNOW, it makes no sense!!

I mean they've literally verified my identity with a third party identity provider

but no... unacceptable

[dusk sapphire]

are you not able to login with gmail directly? rather than making a new account with that gmail address

the sign in with google thing

[west rover]

AAAAAH!

I got it.

It likes @gmail.com

it DOES NOT like real domain email addresses or @googlemail.com

Mine was the latter as it's THAT old

[dusk sapphire]

lol

[west rover]

But, of course, the gmail domain redirects to googlemail, so just amended to gmail

So.... that's exactly the opposite of what internet lore suggested 🤣

Temporary emails only 😄

phew

thanks 🙂

[winter trail]

ah yes okay thanks

[craggy hull]

Do I use sdk2 or sdk3 to make a good world?

[green lagoon]

you probably would want to use SDK 3 as that's still getting new stuff added

[craggy hull]

Is it easier?

[green lagoon]

depends on what you wanting to do

[craggy hull]

I just want to add a mirror

[green lagoon]

there's prefabs for mirrors in both of them but I'd probably go SDK 3 as that's where all the new prefabs are being made

[craggy hull]

Ok

Thanks furry man

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/brute-force-grass-shader-192388

Has anyone tried using this for vrchat? Wondering if it works well / porformance cost

Yeah it was in the recent humble package so was hoping some people had tried it

I'm bored of billboard grass in every world

It ended not long ago

Most people got it just for bakery lol

[stone marsh]

I've used Stix DX11 Grass, GrassFlow and XSGrass, From what I've seen, pretty much all GPU grass performs about the same, but requires care to set it up correct. Most of these that support smash use custom C# scripts to do it, so those wouldn't work unless you tweaked them to work with U# or did a CRT setup.

But yea, they all perform about the same when used appropriately.

Since they run on GPU, as long as your scene doesn't have a ton of GPU heavy stuff, it shouldn't be bad assuming you set it up correct. I've managed fairly large/dense volumes in VR with shading without much of an issue.

[bold ibex]

haveing issues with the vrc sdk again. anyone know why ?

oh ... seems like vrchat has changed version again 😦

ill tryu updateing then see whats going on lel

[bold ibex]

nvm didnt work

[fair shuttle]

does anyone know where i can get a Video Player for SDk 2 that has a youtube search feature? like you would be able to search for videos instead of putting the url in there.

i'm also looking for a working 8 ball pool table for SDK 2

[green lagoon]

you're probably not going to find a pool table for SDK 2

[fair shuttle]

how do i make my sdk 2 avatar world into a sdk 3 world?

[green lagoon]

as that would be a lot more of a pain in the butt to make and pretty much like no incentive to do so as SDK 2 is Legacy software

[fair shuttle]

how do i do this?

[green lagoon]

what do you currently have in the Avatar world

[fair shuttle]

avatars and chairs, might add some pens and a video player soon

can i convert it without having to redo the whole thing?

[green lagoon]

not really at the moment as you would have to resetup anything that uses anything from the SDK

[fair shuttle]

my world has at least 50 avatars in it

[green lagoon]

then I guess no pool table for you then

[fair shuttle]

and is it possible to get this?

[green lagoon]

not aware of any video players in any SDK that does that

[fair shuttle]

i've seen one in one world

has a working search feature

[green lagoon]

did the video player have any like name attached to it somewhere on the ui

[fair shuttle]

it had a search button next to the ui

should i go to the world to check?

[green lagoon]

yes as I can't be of any help without knowing what the video player is to Google it

[fair shuttle]

it looks like this

where can i find something like this?

[green lagoon]

given all the Japanese text it's probably from Booth. P.m. and would cost money

[fair shuttle]

i can't find it anywhere

is it a custom one?
i've only seen it in that world

[green lagoon]

yeah that search function keyboard might be glued onto a video player

[fair shuttle]

is there a way i could find it?
i've seen the keyboard by it self in other worlds as a chat feature

[green lagoon]

probably not if it's actually custom

[tired herald]

hey I'm trying to add jumping to my world any one know a good tutorial I can watch.

[green lagoon]

SDK 2 or 3

[tired herald]

[tired herald]

thank you

[fair shuttle]

are there any other video players for sdk 2 i could use? the one i have just gives me a blank white screen

[green lagoon]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml# here's a list of vrchat prefabs with a section for SDK 2

[stray oxide]

Erm any idea? I pressed the upload button and unity crashed then this happened, i tried reimporting the SDK but its still doing this

Heres the error for it
Error: Could not load signature of VRC.SDK3.Components.MultipleDisplayUtilities:GetRelativeMousePositionForDrag due to: Could not load file or assembly 'UnityEngine.UI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

[true steppe]

Thank you so much!!

[woeful junco]

Welcome 🙂

[tepid tangle]

is there any way i can wrap the vrchat video player around a mesh?

ive seen it done before but i have no clue how it works

[fallen kettle]

Im trying to upload my first world and the builder is not working

I am on Unity 2019.4.29 (I know its outdated but this really shouldn't change that much I believe)
I tried restarting
and this is Sdk3

if anyone has any help/advice, please @ me. Thank you!

[stone marsh]

There's no reason not to update to the current version of unity. Won't take more than a minute or two. If you're on the current sdk you should do this regardless.

[fallen kettle]

even with the project in it?

[stone marsh]

Yes. It's very fast. It's not like moving from 18-19 or 17-18

Using the current sdk with a old version of unity isn't advisable.

Regardless. You most likely have script errors in your project preventing build.

[fallen kettle]

so i just download this version of unity, correct?

[near escarp]

Make sure to check your console for errors

[stone marsh]

Yes

Indeed. Clear your errors in the console, attempt to build or attempt to enter play mode and check for hard errors, it will typically direct you to the script that is having an issue

[fallen kettle]

my console really isnt saying anything bad, I have no errors at all

unless these are bad, i dont know whats up

[stone marsh]

That sometimes can be the case, especially with U# errors. Are you using U#?

[fallen kettle]

im not sure, im new to worlds so I really dont know

well, new with worlds and unity

[near escarp]

Close unity and reopen it, errors might appear then

[fallen kettle]

I have restarted a total of 3 times before asking in here

i am currently downloading the newest version of unity

its taking a bit but its downloadin

[stone marsh]

It may be ideal to do the following.

Create a new empty scene
Save your project
Open the new empty scene
Save project with new scene open
Restart unity
Should be in new scene still.
Delete the vrcsdk and udon folders
Save again
Close
Update to the current version of unity
Still in empty scene, add the current world SDK3.
Restart unity
Open original scene.

Why do this? You may have messed something up. This is the safest way to remove and reinstall the sdk without affecting your main scene. Some steps may not be needed but are in there for safety/good measure. You would end with updated unity and a fresh sdk install allowing better troubleshooting if issue persists.

[mild spade]

Would be helpful a full picture of the entire console window. As you might have "clear on play" enabled, or have the error (red) button disabled

[fallen kettle]

Full console, while blocking my real name

[fallen kettle]

so what you are saying in simplest terms is to delete the sdk3 from the project in the safest way possible?

what if i just upgrade?

[mild spade]

More specifically looking for this. Do you have the (!) enabled ? (looks like a stop sign)

[stone marsh]

If you possibly messed something up, or if something got changed, or if you somehow loaded two sdks that conflict, there's a lot that can go wrong and end up giving you issues. Typically you can just upgrade, however, that won't help troubleshooting your issue and could carry an issue forward.

[fallen kettle]

This?

[autumn maple]

does anyone know what this mean?

this is my first world project and i dont understand what this means. i changed the file directory earlier in the sdk console to where the application is.

i dont know if this has anything to do with it, but here is the directory i have

[autumn maple]

this error pulls up whenever i try to upload the world

[left turret]

I have a world in sdk2 and was wondering if there is a way to make all objects sync to all players. it seems there should be vrc_objectsync for that but it does not seem to exist in my project. is that possible? if that is normal, what should I do?

also what is the setting or where to find it so that objects with colliders wouldn't collide into each other?

[near escarp]

Do you have any other errors ?

[autumn maple]

i figured it out, sorry. but i do need help with music in my world

how could i add that with multiple toggles

[digital adder]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/871482113352958062/896478543293325372/image0.jpg some of the textures in my world look like this on quest?

[left turret]

can you update worlds in labs?

[amber flint]

Anyone know who makes the mercury mirror prefab?

the cool one you can touch and it ripples

[faint frigate]

Hello community, this is probably not a new question: how can I use TMP input field and text to display player input text with Unity UI events? Thanks
I’m using SDK3.

[autumn maple]

for some odd reason when i click change target build support to android it says unable to change to android

[autumn maple]

This is my first

2019.4.34f1 I think

I think its the .29 one

I'll check one sec

[slim coral]

AHawk living in the future

[autumn maple]

im using the .29 one

is that what i need?

would i switch this to android?

thats what i have

i added the android build support

and i didnt change through to android on that screen, i kept it as windows. but it still changed so i think thats what the problem was

[nocturne delta]

hey can i got an avatar in a world, how can i make it cloneable without having the giant icon on it?

[atomic patio]

probuilder disables scaling/rotating/moving. I assume I have some settings wrong?
fixed itself...

[surreal nebula]

is it necessary to make cuts here if it's even?

I don't want there to be a lighting issue if it isn't seemed together right

[slim coral]

Hi @surreal nebula , I'll assume you're using Blender but these tips will apply to any 3D modeling software:

• If your surface is perfectly flat you don't need to worry about N-Gons (polygons with more than 4 sides). Unity triangulates models on import and you usually won't get shading issues on flat surfaces.
• That being said, it's good modeling practice to resolve all of your N-Gons as quads anyway. It means Unity is doing less guesswork and potentially messing up your model.
• If you want to make sure Unity doesn't mess anything up, attach a Triangulate modifier to your object. It will quickly show where issues may arise. This will be applied on export if you export to FBX.
• If you have unwrapped a UV and textured the object, Unity shouldn't warp the texture when it triangulates it.

What you're asking is a little vague but hopefully at least some of that helps ✌️

[surreal nebula]

its not an ngon. its just 4 vertices. directly on the same axis as the other faces. I don't know if light will clip it if only the 2 edge vertices are connected.

these being the only connected ones

[slim coral]

So those 4 other vertices aren't attached to the face? Only the two you've circled?

[surreal nebula]

just those bottom 2 vertices are connected at the edge, none of the others

but the other vertices for the smaller faces on bottom are on the same Z and X point so it's seamless.

I know I'm making it difficult to understand. so I moved them. will light clip if it's seamless but not connected.

[slim coral]

No generally light shouldn't filter through a hole like that, it's too thin.
I have broken up a map into parts with edges of different objects matching the position of the other edges without issue.
Generally you want to minimize the amount of "kissing" edges you have like that, especially on a single object since they're usually not necessary, but I can't imagine it would pose a lighting issue.

If you don't need there to be a gap, I would recommend making those vertices a part of the larger face. All you'd have to do is select all of the edges around the perimeter and hit F. Blender doesn't care how many edges you have selected, it will still face between them.

[spark brook]

Does anyone know how to fix the issue with quest users in certain worlds where the world only appears in one lens?

[surreal nebula]

decided to do triangle way, really didn't want to but uh well.

[still wing]

So im having a problem in my world where no one including me loads there models but only from my perspective in any instance

[slim coral]

Could you send a shot of the whole model from that angle? I think there may be a better way to place those edges but I can't judge it without seeing the rest of the object.

[still wing]

nvmd it was the beta

[pearl scarab]

Looking for a prefab of string lights that I can hang around the edges of a bar and room

Anybody able to point me in the right direction?

[tepid tangle]

help pls :')

[still wing]

do you have multiple models in the project?

i just had that problem

[tepid tangle]

uhhhh wdym multiple models?

[still wing]

like in the 3d space

over here

[tepid tangle]

yeh

[still wing]

oh shit your making a world

[tepid tangle]

yea lol

[still wing]

i had that problem with an avatar

weird

[atomic patio]

Which one is easier for vrchat to handle? 1 model, or several primitives in the shape of the model?

[near escarp]

One model

[slim coral]

Internet issue maybe? Could be a firewall.
That, or just turn your internet on/off and reboot Unity.

[atomic patio]

I cannot, for the life of me, find the sofa

[near escarp]

check the object under it

[atomic patio]

in the hierarchy?

[near escarp]

yep

[charred osprey]

do shaders that are affected by wind work in vrchat?

[near escarp]

Yep that should work

[misty wave]

Just curious, I recently got an old Surface Pro for note taking and pen functionality. I would love to do Unity work and Blender on it, but obviously it's not super powerful and has low storage. Should I attempt to set up networked folders to store stuff on the cloud? Is that even possible? Or should I just remote in to my workstation and save the trouble?

If anyone has experience lol

[slim coral]

@misty wave Unity project files get large very quickly, VRC SDK alone is 500mb on disk when imported. Add Bakery onto that and an empty project hits 1GB.
Unless you’ve got reliable and stable net, it might get a bit hefty.

Another option may be an SSD USB drive. They can be unreliable, so have a robust backup solution (such as just copying to desktop).

Unity with lightmapping probably isn't too heavy for a Surface Pro to handle, but baking will be slow and some Unity tasks are very CPU dependant (compressing textures etc.).
Remote connection is a good idea but again that depends on a stable net: I personally can't handle lag in my 3D apps.
Give just using the Surface with a USB a chance and then if it doesn't cut it, have a look at the remote solution?

[true steppe]

And also add the temporary files that Bakery creates for you when you make a Bake, it easily adds 1 GB or more depending on the project, and a recommendation is to set that file in a ssd

[misty wave]

I hadn't considered just using an SSD drive. There's also MicroSD expansion. I may just give that a shot. Though I usually have reasonably stable net

Thank you for your advice!@

[digital viper]

So im having an issue. This is my first time uploading a world. I was trying to fix the UI text so that it would show in world on the quest. I thought that I had gotten it but it wouldnt re-upload and update the world. i thought it was because there was already one existing so I deleted the existing one. Now It wont reupload the world at all. When it goes to the info for putting in the world name, its all greyed out and wont allow me to upload. I dont know whats going on! Please help?

Ive been up all night making this world and im so tired. Im begging for some help. ❤️

https://gyazo.com/5e664e85726e6256208f2d2fb30ff872

All greyed out ;-;

[true steppe]

Hello, won't he let you put the name of the world? you tried closing unity and starting it again, sometimes it kind of hangs

[digital viper]

I restarted it and everything. It wont let me upload it again.

[true steppe]

Has it been 7 days since the last time you uploaded a world?

[digital viper]

I just uploaded the world today. However, it was missing text. So I redid it and i tried to reupload it but it would not allow it. I thought it was because there was already a world existing with that name so i deleted the world.

It still will not upload.

Im trying to reupload the world

i didnt publish it for public either

this was a private world

[true steppe]

Did you try to edit the texts from the page? vrchat.com?

[digital viper]

What do you mean?

[digital viper]

The world is not there because I deleted it thinking that was the reason why it would not let me reupload the world.

[digital viper]

If someone that knows or is willing to help me figure this out I would be of much appreciation. In tired so i must sleep now but im struggling still. This is supposed to be a surprise gift and if i cannot upload it im going tio be very upset. If anyone knows anything please help. Im exhausted trying to figure it out 😦

[dusk sapphire]

go grab vrworldtoolkit which can check for and fix common issues that may cause this https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

[stable crater]

so I found this cool global snow thing in the asset store but it doesn't want to work with vrchat because it gets applied over the camera, I added the reference camer but it doesn't want to work in vrchat, are there any options I'm missing?

[woeful junco]

Hi. I have a ball that I have added the pickup and object sync to so it can be thrown off of an object. How do I get the ball to go back to it's original place after a minute or two? I hung out and watched for it but it didn't happen.

[green lagoon]

you need to program in a return to original position function

I think there might be a prefab for that let me go check

[woeful junco]

Thanks

[green lagoon]

https://booth.pm/en/items/2950987

[woeful junco]

Thanks.

[green lagoon]

hope it does the trick for you

[woeful junco]

Thanks again. I'm looking over the instructions right now

[long pewter]

should I expect this every 5 days or whatever now?

[woeful junco]

Ok. Lost. Do I add it each ball or just add one to the scene or? Please and thanks

[green lagoon]

each ball https://sandman73773941.hatenablog.com/entry/2021/05/07/181544

[woeful junco]

Thanks so much again for always helping me 🙂

[green lagoon]

no problem glad to be of help

[digital viper]

i downloaded it but im not sure how to use this and figure out whats going on so i can post the world

[digital viper]

If anyone has the time to help me get this world published.... I could REALLY use the help. If I fr need to pay someone to help ... at this point id be happy to. Please let me know.

[white mauve]

how does one make an object appear only in VRCMirror? setting up a layer for the culling mask on the reference camera does not work for w/e tf reason (as in putting the particular object into another layer and excluding it in culling mask)

also is that a unity problem that it does not include fog in the VRCMirror reflection?

[digital viper]

https://gyazo.com/7e802268ec3b120b65a72c203d057e9f

So this is what my SDK looks like before I click the "build and publish" button.

When I select "build and publish" it takes me to the screen but everything is greyed out and will not allow me to change the name or anything at all.

https://gyazo.com/7efcf8f6242058ed546608cd655fc17c

Like this

Why will it not let me edit the name and publish my world?

[near escarp]

Can you take a picture of your whole screen ?

[digital viper]

https://gyazo.com/060216e8fd58a8aa881a31465e39b2bb

https://gyazo.com/bf89ed5fd7e2f02d71533a3f9727250f

There ya go.

Someone told me it was an SDK issue.

but I literally just started building everything yesterday

[near escarp]

Did you open the vrworldtoolkit ?

[digital viper]

and i dont know how to fix this stuff and after staying awake all night to get this done, im so frustrated

[digital viper]

The debugger?

[near escarp]

yep

[digital viper]

https://gyazo.com/fe63185b7902992969eb3c89011afe48

I auto fixed everything that would allow and kinda fixed some of the shaders on some items

but it uploaded before so shaders arent the issue

[near escarp]

What did you do to the project after it had uploaded successfully ?

[digital viper]

Well the text in the scene was not showing in world when i entered via VR. So I fixed the canvas and stuff and went to reupload it and it was a greyed out. I thought that it was because there was already an existing world like that so I deleted the world from vrchat. I went to reupload it and it was all greyed out like this.

[near escarp]

Can you try reopening the unity project to make sure no error shows up in the console ?

[digital viper]

Like directly from the unity hub?

[near escarp]

sure

[digital viper]

https://gyazo.com/a602d41a748974e9b8e62d5306f87811

Im opening from here

https://gyazo.com/a19d079bb4ec931888e0f0bad8b7fdb3

I got no errors and it opened just fine

https://gyazo.com/a33a9b6e23a617535666344bf5b48100

However, now the text is showing on both sides of the wall and not just one

[near escarp]

Just a TMP shader issue iirc, for your game window not being interactable, i'm not sure what the issue is, the screen isn't paused, you don't seem to have any errors

[digital viper]

Would it be halpful to just create a new project and copy the scene and then reupload it that way?

Or do you think it would give me the same issue?

[near escarp]

Hard to say without knowing what the underlying issue is, but might be worth a try

[digital viper]

and how do i fix the shader issue for the text to show on one side

Im not sure how to properly copy the scene to another project

[near escarp]

yeah that might be difficult, also the text rendering through is only a problem in unity

[digital viper]

I feel like maybe i should just start all over again

Would i need to uninstall unity and reinstall it and the SDK?

[near escarp]

You wouldn't need to reinstall unity no

But yes you would need the latest SDK in your project

[digital viper]

Thats another weird thing I was going to mention. At the top i click "VRChat SDK" and then i go down to "utilities" and "check for updates" and it says this

https://gyazo.com/b5f29ff413912e1020df0651eb32fbfa

But I downloaded the newest version already

and imported it

[near escarp]

Yeah that's expected

[digital viper]

Okay. Just making sure I wasnt missing something. Alright then. I guess ill start all over and try to upload after that

but if it doesnt work. Then i give up creating in general lol

oof~

[near escarp]

[white mauve]

bump

[white mauve]

and one more

[near escarp]

MirrorReflection

[white mauve]

aight

and the fog thing?

[frosty silo]

guys I have a problem, whenever I try to export my blender world in fbx my blender say "doesn't respond" for ever

[tepid tangle]

ive reimported my sdk like 7 times now along with restarted unity so many times. send help pls

[slim coral]

@tepid tangle what’s the problem?

[near escarp]

Check your unity console for errors

[white gulch]

anyone have a free beer pong asset for sdk3? the ones i found are buggy

[bold ibex]

Does anyone know why my buttons don't show interaction text?
The buttons work completely fine but the text doesn't show up

[slim coral]

@white gulch Have you checked the VRChat Prefab database? You may find one there. If not, maybe there's an alternate party game that would work for you too:
https://vrcprefabs.com/browse

[digital viper]

Does anyone know how to make UI text words appear in world for quest? Do you have to bake it onto the canvas or something?

[mild spade]

Do you have this turned off by any chance?

[bold ibex]

I did xD

[mild spade]

Are you having trouble displaying text on quest worlds? As far as I know the same way you make a text for PC is equals for quests. I have used Text Mesh Pro on a UI Canvas and they work on both PC and Quest.

[digital viper]

i put out a canvas and then text boxes and put them on the canvas to add to the wall i want to add text. The last time i did this, i entered the world and there was no text in world. So I got a bit confused.

I just want to be sure I do it correctly this time

[pulsar crow]

is it possible to make http requests through udon

Or is it possible to have world states persist across shards/instances

[green lagoon]

neither of those can be done at the moment

[pulsar crow]

damn. Guess I gotta postpone my rpg

[green lagoon]

like the stuff to do the stats/world states persist is coming later to vrchat but that's going to be a while

[pulsar crow]

What I'm going after is users can alter the world and that'll show for all players

I guess we'll see how the interface for stats and such looks once that's released

[green lagoon]

the world persistence stuff vrchat is working on is more like user save states for world's so that's probably not going to be doable users changing the world for all other users

[pulsar crow]

💀 Figured as much since I watched the dev stream. That's why I also asked if http was a thing

saw that people could embed data in images and exploit web image renderers, but eh

[green lagoon]

nope and vrchats probably not in a big hurry to do that

[lone oxide]

so idk where else to put this but i have 5 reports on my world and 1 of them is in a way public on the report saying Enviroment-broken even tho the enviroment is fine on the world and is meant for people to be lagg free so is there a way to submit a removal of that report? cause honestly its pretty stupid

like no joke the enviroment is perfectly fine people arent fallin through the ground quest users can see out of both eyes and sure the textures are low res but thats to save space on the world so its not taking up alot of space but all in all its very good

[random owl]

If there's nothing wrong with the world you can just ignore the reports

[lone oxide]

i can but it bothers me a lil bit at the same time o3o cause i feel like people just like to abuse the system to try and get furry worlds taken down and such cause they dont like furries .-.

[random owl]

It's just a flag on the world only you and moderators can see which doesn't affect search ranking or anything, if there's nothing wrong with the world it doesn't matter

[opaque flax]

is there a way to use something like google drive to load images in a world?

i have a couple pictures that get updated pretty often and am looking for an easier way to update them instead of having to reupload the world every time i need it changed

[tired igloo]

this is for the quests upload

any way i could reduce the world size?

[frosty goblet]

thanks

[tired igloo]

are quest players supposed to be able to see the video player for unity?

the one that comes with the vrchat examples folder

[kind leaf]

if you use direct links and a standard-lite shader. By default no.

[tired igloo]

i tried it with standard lite tho
i can hear the auido but cant see the video

[tired igloo]

is 60mb the max size for a quest uploadable world?

cause b club is for quest and its like 90 mb

[kind leaf]

50. You see the PC size when checking world stats.

[tired igloo]

ah k

where do you see the size of your own world in unity?

[kind leaf]

Checking build logs. or install the oneVR toolkit and check debugger after build

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

^ that tool will also assist you in reducing world size via the mass texture importer and indicate which textures have not been crunch compressed

[tired igloo]

thanks

is there one for avatars too?

like an avatar debugger sort of thing?

[tired igloo]

^

[kind leaf]

it works for avatars as well

Latest VRChat SDK SDK2 / SDK3 Worlds or Avatars```

[tired igloo]

does it give you optimization tips too?

[kind leaf]

yep

[tired igloo]

like does it fix the optimization for you?

cause most of my avatars are set to poor

status

[kind leaf]

some things can be autofixed mesh issues you need to fix in blender

[unkempt turtle]

cats blender plugin for blender is the avatar counterpart to vrcworld toolkit

[timber fable]

How do you fix this? I already turned off the occlusion culling

[unkempt turtle]

dynamic occlusion culling or whatever it is disabled too?

[timber fable]

yes

[unkempt turtle]

odd

[timber fable]

very

[unkempt turtle]

what renderer are the objects using?

[timber fable]

default one

its no different as the tiles

[wild vapor]

Dumb question

Is making a world of avatar things a good idea if your avatar list is too full?

Like even with vrchat plus you've filled your favourites list

Is it a good idea to make a world for that?

[kind leaf]

Because most people don't have the right to display someone else's content.

[wild vapor]

Actually it was gonna be a private world for me and my friends only

I usually copy my avatars with permission from the people I'm copying them from

[kind leaf]

You need a blueprint_ID which is not publicly shared in game and can only be gotten by... Can't say

I was talking about clients 🙂

wasnt

if you have to go about it like that, its a grey area. Thats all I am saying. The right to use is not the right to redistribute.

[wild vapor]

..so how do i make a world? Sorry if I'm asking dumdum stuff.

Besides. Most of my avatars are asked to copy or from avatar worlds already

..so uh..

..how do i make a world exactly?

Is it a lot of coding stuff..?

Unity..? I gotta download that?

Isn't it like.. not cheap?

[kind leaf]

Personal is free

unless you sell products that profit you a net of 100,000 or something like that then you have to pay a fee lol

[wild vapor]

So i can't make a VRChat world for free

Got it ;w;

O oki

I haven't maxed out my avatar list just yet. Just wanted to know :3

[tired igloo]

this is why i prefer making worlds so much more than avatars

for avatars you need blender and astuff

for worlds, you litearlly have everything in front of you in unity

its so much better

what do you use for worlds

i mainly make my worlds only thru unity

[green lagoon]

like you're probably going to be fine if you just wanting to make chill rainy bedroom 46 but you're going to have a bit of a hard time doing a super complicated map with no blender

if you don't have any capability to deal with any custom parts you need or modifying modular kits to suit your needs

[tired igloo]

ive always thought blender was mainly used for asthetic purposes

is that true?

[green lagoon]

like basically all the assets you would Cobble together in unity to make your scene were originally made in blender or some other modeling software

[bold ibex]

Does anyone know any type of particle that would suit an indoor area?

like a bedroom

[bold ibex]

[bold ibex]

Does anyone know how to make a transparent mirror?

I don't know off the top of my head on audio

[bold ibex]

Thankies though owo

[wild vapor]

ngl for my world

all i want is a TV system, a mirror, and all my avatars i've saved up over the months.

[slim coral]

You absolutely can. Unity is free unless you receive revenue/funding over $100,000, and as far as I know that’s only if you want to make your own game.

You’re not selling a “game” if you’re making worlds for VRChat. Even if you’re selling avatars through a platform such as Gumroad, advertising your services on VRChat shouldn’t incur a fee.

[pine dirge]

anyone have a guide / prefab to change the spawn location?

Like, a check point.

[wild vapor]

i see!

so it's super easy to do right?

..or atleast what i plan on doing?

[slim coral]

An avatar world? Certainly simpler than a full-featured world. Neither requires coding or anything like that, it's all in-editor.
If you don't have any experience with Unity though, don't expect to pump it out in a single day. There's some good docs out there so search out the info you need, start putting stuff together in Unity and when you come across a roadblock go searching some more.

Allow yourself the time to learn Unity properly and it will make future edits + new worlds much easier and faster for you.

[wild vapor]

i see! thanks!

all i wanna do is make a world with a TV, a mirror and my avatar collection.

[green lagoon]

the vrchat SDK has prefabs that would handle all three of those

[wild vapor]

ah nice!

[green lagoon]

basically you would just literally drag those prefabs onto a plane and you would be good to go as far as minimum viable product

[bold ibex]

What would be good audio settings to compress this and make it the lowest MB possible?

[near escarp]

Probably should be compressed outside unity, also if it's a long audio file, it should be sett to streaming decompress and not on load

[pine dirge]

For the obstacle course SDK, I do it the way it's show, but it won't add the prefab to "Checkpoints in Scene".

Mine:

[cerulean echo]

@bold ibex and force it to mono

Thankies

[sullen turret]

I'm trying to make a combat world, and want to add guns to it. Problem is I can't find any tutorials anywhere on how to make working guns that actually kill people

[quiet plinth]

How do I boost audio when a player walks into a certain collision trigger box?

This doesn't seem to be available anymore?
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_playeraudiooverride

I found it in the explorer but I can't add it as a component

[brisk spear]

does any one know to to convert string to vrcurl like frfr really need it

[elfin latch]

https://streamable.com/9oqsry I'm having an issue with like... my render distance in unity and i'm not too sure how to fix it

my water mesh is bigger than what is seen and I am only able to see the actual water when I zoom in super close to it

and my mountains also have a disappearing issue while in VR

any help would be appreciated!

:)

[near escarp]

Did you adjust your main camera clipping plane and assigned that camera into your world descriptor ?

[elfin latch]

yes, i adjusted all of that already

it looks fine it game but it makes it very hard to understand what's being placed in unity itself

and even with the clipping plane / world descriptor changes, the back mountains still disappear within a certain... fov it seems like?

[near escarp]

how massive are those objects ?

[elfin latch]

ah, I fixed the mountain issue but now it's just the water issue

the water is fairly big but even at a smaller size, it still has that rendering issue as shown in the video

[near escarp]

Did you confirm this issue also happening in vr ?

[elfin latch]

yes, it's also happening in VR

[near escarp]

Which shader are you using ?

[unkempt mauve]

Help, please
#user-support-old message

[dusk sapphire]

whats the point of using a transparent mirror like that if you're just gonna put a wall behind it

[wanton frost]

I've seen a few facing outward towards the skybox

Good to see the view and yourself

[nova locust]

I need your help. I'm really frustrated and stressed out about this. So, in my world, there's a camera with the render texture. But for some reason, the light flickers on ANY avatar. I did check Google and tried many different ways to fix it such as adjusting the camera's near clipping plane, changed the shader on the render texture, tried different settings on the camera and texture, used different lightings, and the light still flickers on the avatars. This is starting to piss me off

[dusk sapphire]

on your camera settings, you have both playerlocal and mirrorreflection layers selected

disable playerlocal

playerlocal is what you see when you look at your self from your perspective, which has the head shrunk so it doesn't block your vision

mirror reflection shows a clone of your full avatar, which is what you see when you look at yourself with the player camera

with both selected, the camera is rendering 2 models superimposed over each other, causing the flickering

because playerlocal has no head, only the head doesn't flicker

[nova locust]

So I only disable playerlocal? but keep the mirror reflection on?

[dusk sapphire]

yes

playerlocal = your avatar without a head
player = other players
mirror reflection = your own avatar

[nova locust]

Ok, got it. Other options are on too. Are they fine too?

[dusk sapphire]

yeah

http://vrchat.wikidot.com/worlds:layers

[nova locust]

That link is very useful. Thank you. I'm now uploading the world.

[dusk sapphire]

you should also note this applies to real time lights if you're using any, and it looks like you might? given that the flickering shows one of the models being darker?

[nova locust]

aaah, it's gone. Thank you very much!

[nova locust]

all lights are mixed

but the flickering is gone now. Tested it on other avatars as well.

[dusk sapphire]

that's good, but with mixed lighting dynamic objects will receive real time light, so just make sure it has player, playerlocal and mirrorreflection layers selected if you want avatars to also be lit in the camera and mirrors.

[nova locust]

Got it. Thank you very much.

You just saved my world lol

[brisk spear]

does anyone know how to load .asset file i created a scriptable object but not sure how to load it in game

if you can help please reply to my message please really in need of help

[ruby jay]

what are you trying to achieve with the scriptable object?

[feral steeple]

Can't find the Control Panel, pretty sure it's supposed to be there?

[ruby jay]

check your console log, there may be errors you need to fix first

[feral steeple]

I tried to fix it by deleted the assets that were giving me errors and it crashed

[brisk spear]

Trying to make a playlist system for video player but I want it to work with ui so players can play any song or video in the playlist it’s for a club world I’m making

[feral steeple]

Error: Could not load signature of VRC.SDK3.Components.MultipleDisplayUtilities:GetRelativeMousePositionForDrag due to: Could not load file or assembly 'UnityEngine.UI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. assembly:UnityEngine.UI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

Oh, it's back now

[ruby jay]

you trying to make a playlist system with udon, right? if udon compiles and is in your scene on an object, it will operate as you programmed it

[bold ibex]

For some reason I can't see the skybox in my world in game but in Unity I can see it, even in play mode I can see it

Is there a reason it isn't working in game?

[brisk spear]

Yeah just don’t know how to access the scriptable objects via udon code

[ruby jay]

you will have to make the scriptable object in udon

[brisk spear]

oh so can't used udon C# i thing that's what you mean

[ruby jay]

you can use u#, make an object in the scene and add the u# component

[brisk spear]

yeah this is where i'm getting stuck

[Serializable, CreateAssetMenu(fileName ="New Song", menuName = "Create/Club/Song")]
public class SongData : ScriptableObject
{
    public int songIndex;
    public string songTitle;
    public string songArtist;
    public VRCUrl songUrl;
    [NonSerialized] public bool editMode;

    public override string ToString() => $"#{songIndex} {songTitle} - {songArtist}";

    public static implicit operator SongData(SongDataXML xmlVersion)
    {
        var data = new SongData();
        data.songIndex = xmlVersion.songIndex;
        data.songTitle = xmlVersion.songTitle;
        data.songArtist = xmlVersion.songArtist;
        data.songUrl = new VRCUrl(xmlVersion.songUrl);
        return data;
    }
}

[desert python]

xml?

[ruby jay]

you need to write SongData in u# to use it in u#, as UdonSharpBehaviour

[brisk spear]

yeah but then i don't know how to save it as .asset file, so lost

[desert python]

what do you mean?

[brisk spear]

each song is it's own scriptable asset

also have a playlist the holds all the song this is just for the editor script to easy add remove songs

i want to populate song entry with the corasponding song data

[desert python]

how is the list being generated? you would need to make a variable that can extract data from that editor script

[brisk spear]

 private void PopulateScene()
    {
        var grid = Selection.activeGameObject.GetComponentInChildren<GridLayoutGroup>() ?? Selection.activeGameObject.GetComponentInParent<GridLayoutGroup>();
        DeleteChildren(grid.transform);

        for (int i = 0; i < playlist.songs.Length; i++)
        {
            var song = playlist.songs[i];
            var go = (GameObject)Instantiate(Resources.Load("Prefabs/SongEntry"), grid.transform);
            go.name = song.ToString();

#DOES NOTE WORK
            var ub = go.GetComponent<UdonBehaviour>();
            if (ub != null)
            {
                Debug.Log($"{ub.programSource} Component was found");
                ub.SetProgramVariable("songIndex", song.songIndex);
                ub.SetProgramVariable("songTitle", song.songTitle);
                ub.SetProgramVariable("songArtist", song.songArtist);
                ub.SetProgramVariable("songUrl", song.songUrl);
            }

            //go.transform.Find("Index").GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = song.songIndex.ToString();
            //go.transform.Find("Title").GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = song.songTitle;
            //go.transform.Find("Artist").GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = song.songArtist;
            //go.transform.Find("Link").GetComponent<VRCUrlInputField>().SetUrl(new VRCUrl(song.songUrl.Get()));

            //go.SetActive(true);
        }
    }

[desert python]

k and editor window?

[brisk spear]

that is the editor window

it't to big to share code

i just show the part the makes the scene object and try to assign the info

[desert python]

is the script called “playlist”, cus if so. instead of doing “public udonsharpbehaviour”, you could “playlist _playlist” and make sure that it is in the same name space. but it may not work since youre doing it from an editorscript im not familiar with

[brisk spear]

if you know a better way i really would like to know i'm not familiar with udon like that if this was plain c# this wouldn't be an issue

[desert python]

true. but i would recommend using a udon/udonsharp videoplayer prefabed and ready to go. but the best auto filler i could recommend is the text converter on the ProTV prefab

[brisk spear]

is it possisble to change U# values via script?

[desert python]

yes

[brisk spear]

i mean through editor not in runtime

[desert python]

yep. thought that was what you ment

[brisk spear]

okay so if a object has udonbehaviour how do i access script varbles

[desert python]

it would be the same idea as writing in data but you would specify “udonbehavior.SongTitle.String(whatever)” from with in the editor (iirc, its been awhile)

[white mauve]

is there any reason for objects that are in MirrorReflection layer are appearing in camera?

[desert python]

the cam is culling the mirror layer. you have to untick that layer

[white mauve]

where? in the referenced camera?

[floral jacinth]

hi everyone! i need to upload a custom world, i can pay someone if they help me please

[white mauve]

because if so, i had it unticked the whole time

[floral jacinth]

i already have it in unity, i just need to be able to play it with my friends

[white mauve]

@desert python soz for pinging, thought, might get your attention for sec again xd

[desert python]

are mirrorreflection objects showing up for the player cam or a external cam?

[white mauve]

player camera

[desert python]

um. ye those objects should not be visible for the player. they should only show up in mirrors and external cameras with mirrorreflections culling on

[white mauve]

therefore i'm asking, what's the reason of it showing up xd

like the only camera i have is the reference camera for world descriptor and it has the MirrorReflection in the culling mask unticked

[desert python]

main/ref cam will default the layers to what it needs to be. i would double check that those objects are actually on the right layer

[dusk sapphire]

MirrorReflection is one of the layers that is shown on the player camera

[white mauve]

that's dumb

[dusk sapphire]

the reference camera layers does not affect the player camera, and you cant change layers on the reference camera

not dumb at all, unless you don't want to be able to see your own model with its head in your player camera

[white mauve]

but like, "mirror reflection", i need it only to be visible in mirror, but not on any camera

[dusk sapphire]

http://vrchat.wikidot.com/worlds:layers

your local player model's reflection exists on the mirrorreflection layer, so it has to show up in the camera as well for it to see it

for something that only shows up in mirror but not camera, you'll probably have to do something a bit more involved

mirror reflection layer + shader that only renders in mirrors

poiyomi should have those options I believe

[white mauve]

ughh ffs

i have no clue then how to do that, i need help for that

o/w i'm gonna have to look for a simple workaround/alternative "setup" for my needs

[stray oxide]

What do i do here? Do i just skip?

[stray oxide]

Ah thank you ill do that

[nocturne crown]

what shaders can I use for a world to give outlines to objects? that I can also port to quest

right now im using standard unlit shaders but I want to give some objects outline

[ember drum]

Heya. I'm wondering what the best workflow is for materials and lighting for world objects. I plan to bake my lighting and I've heard that Bakery is helpful. Right now I'm digging into PBR textures, wondering how best to use them... Should I be doing all of that in Blender first, or just moving on from Blender after modelling and UV unwrapping?

[green lagoon]

I guess it depends if you're going to be doing texturing or not for like tiling textures

but still probably a good idea to have like the textures applied in blenders so can make sure the unwraps are good

[ember drum]

I guess that makes sense. If I had something like a wooden box and wanted the grain to line up and any wear on the corners to be in the right spot, I couldn't use simple texture tiling, and would need to apply them to an atlas for that object?

[green lagoon]

you could get the wood grain to line up in the right direction just with the UV unwrapped about you probably need to do something a bit more complicated to do edgware

[ember drum]

Reminded myself about Substance Painter. May try to get away with Blender though.

I'm building most of my world in Blender... Should I just texture the world in the same way as the objects?

[green lagoon]

might suggest for the first go-around trying to make a little space with tiling textures to get used to the UV unwrapping

[ember drum]

I guess using some tilable textures is good for optimisation.

[green lagoon]

environment are tends to have a lot of tiling texture because I would take up too much video memory to have every square inch of the map uniquely textured

[ember drum]

Already unwrapped a few things before.

Yeah, that makes sense.

[green lagoon]

like as an example this big stone structures just one texture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4b249616f93e000149aebd/1588274207041-O18GZVPADDP6NPQ5SXFX/EXP_KeeganKeene_Thumbnail_1920x1080.jpg

[ember drum]

What about light baking?

[green lagoon]

that happens in unity

[ember drum]

I noticed it talked about overlapping UVs so I fixed that on some objects already.

Is the light baking saved as a separate file but using the same UVs, or something?

[green lagoon]

basically you would want to generate a second set of UVS for your light Maps that don't overlap but Unity has a button that generate lightmaps UVs so you don't need to figure that out immediately

[ember drum]

Ahhh, so the texture UV can overlap so space isn't wasted by duplicating similar looking parts of the model... And you have a separate UV that has nothing overlapping at all?

[green lagoon]

yes

[ember drum]

Is the button in Unity, for that, reliable?

[green lagoon]

decent enough to start and if you're running into issues later you could always make lightmap uvs yourself but you'll probably be fine for a first time map

[ember drum]

It's my first map but I'm coming in with decent knowledge in some areas but meh in others, lol

Keeping it small and limited in assets and focus on getting the lighting looking good instead.

[green lagoon]

of course just figured it would be handy to not try to juggle too many new things at once

[ember drum]

Yeah.

Knowing stuff like what you've told me above is very helpful.

[green lagoon]

yep and that way you don't have to worry about like oh dear it's lagging horribly from the many reasons that can generate lag because you would have liked the entire great Plateau breath of the wild loaded in

[ember drum]

I got a projector and audio working the other day, so I was pretty happy with that.

[green lagoon]

cool

[near escarp]

Let unity generate it, don't think too hard about it

tweak the settings if necessary though

[ember drum]

Looked sexy with it hitting avatars and casting shadows behind.

[near escarp]

(about lightmap UVs)

[ember drum]

Sweet!

[green lagoon]

like it's probably going to be awhile before your modeling anything complicated enough for the unity light map uv generator to generate subpar results

[inner hedge]

how fix borger fall through ground has collider still fall :(

[ember drum]

These are actually kinda unusual shapes, so they might, idk.

[green lagoon]

well don't worry about that until it Goofs up later

[ember drum]

Seeing the UV overlap thing in Unity the other day, I ended up unwrapping them so there was no overlapping, haha.

[green lagoon]

and cool speakers

[ember drum]

Thx 🙂

When baking, does it make a light map for every object, or some sort of atlas for the whole world?f

[green lagoon]

basically tries to Atlas everything the light maps

[ember drum]

Would be a very disappointing borger.

[green lagoon]

but depending on how big the map is might end up with multiple atlases

[ember drum]

So a UV map like this isn't useful for Unity?

[green lagoon]

actually that looks pretty fine and dandy

[ember drum]

Actually, I guess if I add wear and stuff, it could be helpful to stay like that.

[green lagoon]

yes that's more of a prop so that's probably better to make a unique texture instead of going tiling

like your walls and floor or a big table might be more of a application for a tiling texture

[ember drum]

Obviously there's a lot of just black painted plywood, but if it's flaking in the corners, I guess this is the way to go.

You can't split stuff like wear onto other textures, can you?

[green lagoon]

you could but that's a lot more complicated to explain to get rendering in unity

[ember drum]

Okay, that's cool. Just checking I wasn't missing something there.

[green lagoon]

like at this point we're more in 101 mode not like an advanced class

[ember drum]

Haha

It can be tough to know what I need to learn sometimes... As there are some things out there that aren't available to us for VRC, etc.

[green lagoon]

yeah but I doubt you're trying to make like a big jrpg in vrchat

[mild spade]

If you are using a Mesh Collider, make sure you check the "convex"

[ember drum]

Like I was skimming a video about shader graph earlier that looked sick, before I realised the LWRP isn't supported. >_<

[green lagoon]

yep and that's not likely to come anytime soon as that would break backwards compatibility with all previously uploaded content

[ember drum]

sadge

[green lagoon]

but yeah probably going to be a while before you would be needing self made custom shaders

[ember drum]

With those speakers, I was wondering how much I can trim polys... Does edge flow help for the lighting, or is it not important once in Unity?

[green lagoon]

the answer is it's a bit complicated but yeah you could probably shave some off of the speaker

[surreal nebula]

can you make a mirror in blender and apply properties in unity to save on meshes?

[green lagoon]

no not really because it would still be a separate draw call to use the mirror material

[surreal nebula]

alrighty ty

[near escarp]

Are you making this with quest in mind ?

[ember drum]

Not particularly, but I'd like to know what issues I might face if I do.

[green lagoon]

like you probably don't need geometry screws as you could probably cover that with the texture

[ember drum]

True.

What about here? I have these flat shaded panels intersecting a smooth shaded curve.

[green lagoon]

that looks fine to me

[ember drum]

I've added a small bevel at the base of the flat panel to make the lighting on the smooth curve look better.

[green lagoon]

that would probably be fine

[ember drum]

But if the panel wasn't actually joined like this, it could just intersect and there'd be way less polys.

But would that make the lighting crappy?

[green lagoon]

you're not in the ballpark where you need to be worrying about shaving off like 10 triangles at the most

[ember drum]

Well, it's also kinda like... Modelling with topology like this can be a pain in the ass!

[green lagoon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/819188464145924117/897963176220577792/unknown.png like as an example here is a very unoptimized triangle count

okay maybe that was a bit of a bad example as it's not like a proper table or furniture

[ember drum]

Is it actually helpful to model like this though? With edgeflow, etc, if I'm not going to subdiv it?

[green lagoon]

well character models would break if they didn't have proper Edge flow when animated

and cool that you're interested in optimization related questions

[ember drum]

Yeah, I've learnt a fair bit from trying to make my own avatar from scratch.

[green lagoon]

cool

[ember drum]

What if that part of the speaker was modelled like this?

[green lagoon]

that might make more issues for the light like Maps because they tend to be low resolution textures so you might have pixels bleeding from the part that's intersected?

[ember drum]

I suspected something like that. Good to get it confirmed.

So intersecting geometry is generally not great?

[green lagoon]

depends on the use case sorry that's not a conclusive yes or no answer

[ember drum]

Still helpful!

[green lagoon]

like I doubt you're going to get into a spot where that's going to be the bottleneck compared to o'dear I accidentally imported a million polygon flower pot trying to decorate the bedroom

[ember drum]

I've seen people try to optimise worlds where they're trimming every poly they can... Maybe that wasn't their issue.

[green lagoon]

would depend on the world if they are actually getting into that bottleneck

like I doubt you're trying to make a big open world map where you can see for like kilometers with nothing obstructing line-of-sight

[ember drum]

Was having up to 40 or so people in it. I did say that it was probably not the world but the avis, haha.

[green lagoon]

especially if they're very poor avatars

[ember drum]

So lighting (and maybe some Z-fighting) are the only major issues with intersecting geometry, like that?

Mostly just clearing up some assumptions that I've had to find out what's true and not!

[green lagoon]

roughly sorry for not being a straight yes-or-no

as a lot of this stuff depends on what you're trying to do

[ember drum]

Don't worry, these are good answers for me!

Means I'm roughly on the right track and not likely to run into anything too annoying later on. Nice to not have to re-model stuff if I can avoid it!

[green lagoon]

and also because you're mentioning like putting edgeware onto your models so that probably texture better if you're not having intersecting geometry complicating the painting process

[ember drum]

Mmm, good point.

[green lagoon]

especially with like your first time doing texture painting

[ember drum]

I've kinda struggled with that for the avatar modelling... Knowing where to stop with the topolopy.

And where to just intersect geometry.

[green lagoon]

yeah avatars are a lot more complicated because the topolopy matters a lot more

like both of your versions of the speaker would do their job correctly whereas like a incorrectly done like Avatar could look really bad when moving

[ember drum]

To add a belt loop onto a pair of jeans, for example (and it wasn't something that could just be textured in)... I think really it's fine to have it as a separate part that intersects (as long as the vertexes line up a bit for the WP).

At least that's how it seemed to me, in the end.

One last question for today... Does Blender's smooth/flat shading (and how they interact with each other over a model) make a difference once in Unity?

[green lagoon]

yes Unity should respect that

hope the rest of your map goes okay

[ember drum]

So I should do whatever topology tweaks I need to do to make it look right in Blender, for it to look good in Unity?

[green lagoon]

yes

as you're not making a Anime Avatar where you can hide any topological problems under the toon Shader

[ember drum]

hah!

Thanks for all the help. Cleared up a lot of stuff that I wasn't so sure about there. Thanks for the wishes on the map too.

[green lagoon]

glad I could be of help

and honestly if you wanted to cut down on Geometry those geometry screws would probably be a better spot than how the shelves intersect

https://i.gyazo.com/03f08d4424d583615e5e8e4cf944ff6b.png

[ember drum]

Ah, it was mostly just learning what other aspects of the topology might be important or not, while modelling. Takes time to model well. 😭

[green lagoon]

of course definitely takes time

[nocturne crown]

Here is a simple small world I’m working on 🙂

Also Is there a way to make it so people can sink slowly through an object?

[pearl scarab]

My scene is too large and I can't figure out why. I have compressed all the textures to 1024, and baked all my lighting, but I'm still hitting 100mb when I publish to vrchat (it's a very simple map). Any idea if there is a way to sort your scene by largest-to-smallest assets so I can figure out what the culprit is?

[cerulean echo]

@pearl scarab i would download the https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and look what takeng alot mb in yor world

[pearl scarab]

Got it thank you!

[cerulean echo]

np if you need eny help to get yor map mb more down maybe i can help pm me

[woeful junco]

So, I removed my terrain that had my VR Descriptor attached and replaced it with a plane and now when I go to update my world it wants a whole new world name. Is there a fix for this or is it my VRChat lesson learned?

[green lagoon]

see if you can control Z back into existence terrain and copy the descriptor to elsewhere

but the next time you probably don't want to put the VR Descriptor as the child of one of your map assets

[random owl]

You can get the world id from the content manager in the SDK and attach it to the new pipeline manager

[woeful junco]

Thanks . I will try that and where do you put yours? I thought it needed to be attached to an asset.

[woeful junco]

Could you explain that a little more please?

[green lagoon]

anywhere in the hierarchy will really do as empty game objects are also objects

[woeful junco]

I'm new to VrChat but I build for Altspace

[green lagoon]

so it doesn't really need to be attached to any art assets

[woeful junco]

Good point. I will do that next time. Thanks

When you open the VRCSDK control panel it has a content tab in it, from there you can find and copy the world id of the previous world you uploaded, then you can go to the pipeline manager component that is with the world descriptor and attach it to it

When you set the world id to the old one you previously uploaded it will upload into it again

[woeful junco]

Ohhhh. Thanks so much I will try that.

[woeful junco]

Sorry to pester. How do I modify this? I am not seeing an option.

[random owl]

Detach and then attach a new one in it

[woeful junco]

Ok. Thanks

[woeful junco]

Got it!!! Thanks so much

[random owl]

Nice

[green lagoon]

excellent any other world questions while you're here Moody

[woeful junco]

No. That fixed my slight panic attack. lol. Not right now but I appreciate how helpful everyone is over here. Thanks so much. 🙂

[green lagoon]

cool

[woeful junco]

You seriously are the most helpful people.

Is there a reliable way to convert ShaderToy shadrs (GLSL) to Unity's HLSL??

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/smkplus/ShaderMan

[misty wave]

Last I tried to use that it was entirely broken, or I had no idea how to use it ;~;

[green lagoon]

no clue how to use it myself

[misty wave]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's broken ;~;

[nocturne crown]

what other shaders could I use for a quest world? would it only be the mobile shaders?

[stone marsh]

Poiyomi works to a limited degree for quest worlds. But yes, realistically you're limited to quest mobile only.

[nocturne crown]

dang

[green lagoon]

you can use custom shaders on Quest world but there are limitations on it as far as what's going to run well because you're running Android

[nocturne crown]

thats fine I guess, just wanted a quest shader for a world that has outlines

[stone marsh]

Ah. Prob not then. Most geometry shaders will prob be a bit much

[nocturne crown]

I dont want to make double the objects to make the outlines

dang thats ok

[misty wave]

You could do texture tricks maybe

[nocturne crown]

its just solid textures

here is the world

[misty wave]

Oh you mean like poiyomi style outlines?

[feral bobcat]

Hey everyone, I just put my first world up on Community Labs 🙂
I'm looking at the world info/statistics.
What is Privates and Heat?
And Reports? I thought Reports were negative points like "The world is busted" or "violates the rules". But my world has 1 report. Even my private worlds have 1 report.

[nocturne crown]

i wanted to have outlines on stuff

[nocturne crown]

kinda

I might just model a tree and make outlines on that

[misty wave]

You could manually put outlines on with textures like I was suggesting but it would be different

[nocturne crown]

it would prob be eaier

[stone marsh]

Everyone gets 1

[misty wave]

Yeah worlds start with 1 report. Heat is how much your world is trending basically. Privates I suppose means how many people are in a private instance?

[stone marsh]

You can also just extrude a wireframe in blender.

[misty wave]

True, have two separate meshes for each but that's a bit tedious. It's possible poiyomi outlines would work

[stone marsh]

Yea you can try the wireframe shader from poi. It might be a bit heavy tho. But only one way to test

[nocturne crown]

also are there any skyboxes that are pitch black?

[stone marsh]

Just create a skybox material and give it a black texture

[nocturne crown]

ok 🙂

[misty wave]

Yeah worth a shot. I would guess it could do it depending on how much geometry you have

[nocturne crown]

i hope making a quest/pc world wont be too hard 😬

[misty wave]

It's a lot of extra work to make a quest version

[stone marsh]

Tedious

[nocturne crown]

yikes

[misty wave]

If you want the regular world to have anything not quest compatible that is

Personally, I don't do it lol

[nocturne crown]

I honestly want it on quest because Its a fnaf world and a ton of kids on quest go to those rather than pc

[misty wave]

Honestly that would be a great feature to add lol, suck
