world-development

[misty wave]

sucks to join a friend and have it be like

insta freeze lol

Yeahhhh

in that case you might be best suited to just stick entirely within the confines of Quest, so you don't have to run two versions

[nocturne crown]

there are a few populated fnaf pc worlds but mainly quest worlds will get a ton of people on them

[misty wave]

That makes sense, like you said lots of kjids lol

[feral bobcat]

OK thanks... I thought Heat might be how much your headset/laptop is burning up...Lol... like how heavy the world is.

[misty wave]

I honestly wish that was a thing XD

[nocturne crown]

yeah, i want to be able to go there cause "creator" but also making it on quest will get you all the views

[misty wave]

Are you on a Quest? :0

[nocturne crown]

I have a quest but I use the charger as a link

I just dont feel like unplugging it just to visit it

[misty wave]

ohh I see

you totally should get the official link cable, it's much faster and like suuuper long

[nocturne crown]

ehh I may

the charging cord is pretty long, long enough for me

[misty wave]

mine was only like a metre long? :0

[nocturne crown]

quest 1 or 2?

im apart of the discontinued gang

[low quest]

Wain

:)

Before it would tank FPS but I made a script so a smaller rain particle system just follows the local player's position

So it only calculates the immediate area

[green lagoon]

good idea

[low quest]

Some other pics of the map

[green lagoon]

cool

[low quest]

Thank ya

[green lagoon]

I'll definitely have to go exploring when it's out and maybe releasing that rain script would be handy

[low quest]

I have the map open every weekend more or less

Friday will be a drinking night and I think it'll be complete

Or near complete

[green lagoon]

cool

[low quest]

Still need to think of a name

Hmmm

[nocturne crown]

im having trouble uploading a world to both quest and pc, and the tutorial vid I found didnt seem to work. I can only upload to quest or pc

[stone marsh]

Yes. You upload to one. Then change build to the other and upload again under the same world ID after u make your quest changes. Or use two identical scenes/project but same ID.

[nocturne crown]

I also am having trouble with the spawn, I set it up correctly and it just boots me from the world, but testing it works fine

This happened to me before with another world, I’m going to try to restart the project and make a new one to see if I can fix it

[slender kettle]

why isnt my control panel showing up with the worlds 3 sdk?

I'm using unity 2019.4.31f1 and this is a fresh project

the vrchat dropdown isnt there

I upgraded to 2019.4.31f1 after the same thing happening on 2019.4.29f1

there's an error saying timeout while updating assemblies

[slender kettle]

I restarted unity now the vrchat dropdown is there but not the control panel option

reimport all didnt fix it 😦

[stone marsh]

You have errors in your console or a script thats failing to compile or something. Check your console. Clear errors. Enter play mode. Check errors again for persistent errors

[slender kettle]

I'll try that thanks 🙂

its saying a bunch of things could not be found

I also just realized my storage space is really low and probably stoppe the sdk from fully importing

I feel dumb now lol

[slender kettle]

clearing storage and reimporting did nothing

does the sdk update? I'm using VRCSDK3-WORLD-2021.03.22.18.27

cuz the console says a bunch of things dont exist and the play wont run cuz of that

[dusk sapphire]

current version is VRCSDK3-WORLD-2021.09.30.16.18
you are 6 months out of date

[slender kettle]

Thanks

[west rover]

This world - https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_b39c377b-281c-4dd5-8711-762a9335bc14 - has a feature where the photo camera will 'snap' to a perfect alignment of an object when it's inside a certain spherical area - does anyone know how that's done or where I could find it e.g. as a prefab? I'd like to use that idea in my own world to make taking consistently perfectly framed pictures of an object quicker and easier for players

[winter trail]

hey so i need some help cus im trying to add a button and i want to add the VRC_Trigger but i cant find it in the component menu

[ruby jay]

are you sure you imported the correct sdk?

[winter trail]

oh uhm i added the sdk 3 one

[ruby jay]

there are no triggers (and actions) anymore in sdk 3, you will have to learn udon (https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/getting-started-with-udon) or use sdk 2

[winter trail]

oh okay, but can i change the sdk 3 to sdk2? xD

[nocturne crown]

ill try that

I used the vrcworld prefab for another world and it worked before

ill try it without the vrc world and ill see if it crashes

ill try it without the prefab, if it doesnt work im just gonna make a new project

wont be a big deal since its not too hard to remake

I dont think so but i removed the prefab and gonna test it now

[solar dawn]

So while popping in to my local test i can rotate my player and seems like it continuously falling down

[pearl scarab]

I am planning to add a rooftop area to my world. I mentioned that to a friend and they said 'make sure to instance it'. He said that way you won't hear other peoples audio and won't have to keep the other area loaded while you aren't there. Anybody know what he was talking about? How do I go about 'instancing' areas of my world?

[near escarp]

I'm guessing they meant creating that rooftop far away from the main area, and teleport users to it

slight misuse of the instancing word

[stone marsh]

Lol yea instancing is wrong there. But as long as you use occlusion culling, you wouldn't really need to do that. It can be helpful to separate each section and TP users depending on your world and how your building is designed, but it's also not strictly required. Depends what works best performance wise for your specific use. You'll want to get used to using the Profiler and frame debugger in unity to test what is best for you.

If you want audio culling, there is a prefab called Better Udon Audio that has audio occlusion as long as you're using UDON

[nocturne crown]

I made my world quest compatable but now everyone cant see themselves and everyone is pitch black, what kind of baked lights should i use?

if i can post the link to the world so people can see what i mean just lmk, or if anyone knows the fix tell me as well

should I have lightprobes with my reflection probe?

[green lagoon]

yes you need light probes for baked lighting to work on avatars

[nocturne crown]

ok thanks

man o man, time for hell and for my pc to burn lol

I dont need light probes everywhere right? just where people will be standing

like on the ground or near the ground?

[stone marsh]

You need to create a volume of probes. I suggest looking at a few videos or something.

There's also a free asset on the asset store that can automatically place volumes of probes but you'll need to delete the script from your project when done as it breaks on upload, but otherwise works great for placing probes.

[green lagoon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/uploads/Main/class-LightProbeGroup-10.png

https://connect-prd-cdn.unity.com/20190620/learn/images/9303468b-f6cc-4dbd-a68e-b5581c51a657_ConfiguringLightProbes_Figure02.PNG

[stone marsh]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/simple-light-probe-placer-58290

Here's that asset too. But like I said, you would need to delete it from your project asset folder when you're done using it to setup your volume.

[nocturne crown]

correct or bad?

I think if its like this it would take too long to bake, should I space them out more?

[modern kayak]

you could remove some in the middle where the lighting doesn't change, but it's not going to take long to bake either way

most of the time spent in baking is creating the lightmap for the meshes. Lightprobes are relatively quick

[nocturne crown]

would this be better?

[modern kayak]

probably yeah

you don't need 4 high though

light probes are only necessary in places where lighting changes

[nocturne crown]

ok so just remove the ones on top and it should be good?

[modern kayak]

yeah

[nocturne crown]

cool thanks for the help! 🙂

yeah that isnt long, about 10 minutes to bake, better than when I tried last time it was like 13 hours lol

that was for another world

[nocturne crown]

have a new issue, when I update my world it doesnt actually update

i update it and it uploads just fine, but it doenst seem to affect the current world

[pearl scarab]

Fairly new to unity, but I donwloaded this bar prefab with a counter top, hood, etc. However it's all prefab-ed as 1 model. Is there a way for me to break a prefab apart into its separate cubes/planes/etc? I have both the prefab file and the fbx file

Yeah I get that

Ok so I opened the file in blender but the mesh it's showing is just straight up the lights and the entire bar. Is there no way to break that apart?

If I need to pick something else I can do that I was just hoping there was a way to take this thing and break it up so I can assign separate materials

Either that or is there an easy way to edit parts of a .mat file? The bar came with a single material for the entire thing, and I want to change th e colors of portions of it

1 texture, 1 material, 1 mesh

There is

Basecolor?

You mean the albedo?

Not sure where to find the material/texture settings to apply them to the fbx in blender

Don't wanna saturate this chat, can we move to a dm if that's ok with you @bold ibex

[nova locust]

I imported the newest QV Pens. Everything's good, but when I tested it out, any pen wouldn't write something. Did I miss something?

[fleet valley]

I have a question, how do i make avatar pedistals not wobboly

like im pretty sure ive seen clear ones

[normal lintel]

Anyone else have issues trying to run a world in Build & Test? For whatever reason since the .30 update i've been getting booted to my home not the one i'm launching for b/t

[inland cave]

Make sure your installed version of VRChat is up-to-date. If you're using a beta version of VRChat with a stable SDK, you need to either switch the SDK or the VRChat client version to match.

[sinful grotto]

I saw in the world "Sailing" that, when you press trigger while aiming at your left arm it will show the canvas on the player's left arm. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I am currently using SDK3 with Udon.

[inland cave]

My best guess is figuring out what Unity Component will let you access skeleton bones as I "assume" VRChat is using standard components for avatar rigs and overlapping its own tech on top. Im sure someone here has better knowledge however.

If you can identify that GameObject Component, you just need to create an Udon script that'll dig for the specific bone and get it's transform. Then you can do whatever you want with it

[stone marsh]

Create a menu system and use a bone follower script to parent a game object containing both a interact trigger, and the menu. Interact trigger, triggers the menu.

Pretty sure a bone follower script comes in the sdk. One is also included in jetdogs udon prefabs for free which uses U# alternatively.

Youd probably want to restrict it so it can only be triggered using the opposite hand from where the menu is parented to prevent it from being accidentally pressed with the hand it's parented to. And ensure the interact distance is very low

[sinful grotto]

Alright, thank you for the quick reply. I will try this.

[nova locust]

i will ask again. why aren't qv pens working? I've imported the udonsharp first, then the qv pens 3.1.2. But the pens wont work whenever i tried to write something.

[sinful grotto]

Strange... I have imported qv pens 3.1.2 into my world and put only the prefab in and it works like a charm.

[nova locust]

yeah, thats why i asked.

[sinful grotto]

Did you import the latest version of UdonSharp? Also, are you using the latest SDK3?

[nova locust]

yes and yes

[solid wigeon]

Every time I try to upload my sdk2 world it forces me to reload the entire scene, it automatically plays the reloaded scene, and automatically logs me out of the sdk console. The only error message is “Trigger on Avatar Pedestal was not initialized in time!” I have no idea what that means. Even the VRWorld Toolkit World Debugger says the “Build result: Succeeded”. Can anyone help?

[solid wigeon]

I figured it out by reloading the entire project and x’ing out of the reload box. Now it’s taking a long time for it to upload the world to the community labs. Does it normally take longer than 10 minutes?

[quiet plinth]

Mesh taking hours to import! PLEASE HELP!!

Sometimes a file will just randomly become corrupted and take about 1-2 hours to import. This FBX is only 2.6kb in size. I've reexported it with a new name and that doesn't work. Only fix has been making a whole new scene and starting the level from scratch.

And Bakery exports and imports files to mess with lightmaps, so I'm waiting hours for every bake. It's so damn annoying.

[late valve]

Okay I am so lost rn, I basically tried to import the the pool table and udon sharp into my project and now I am getting errors so I am completely lost on what to do...

I think it's mostly coming from Udon Sharp

[elfin dagger]

Hiya, how hard would it be for me to get someone to build a world for me within a time constraint and no money involved and with little effort or help from me.

[unkempt turtle]

i guess somewhat hard

[elfin dagger]

Sadly that is what I thought.

[elfin dagger]

If it was possible where should I ask

[near escarp]

If you can't pay someone then i highly doubt anyone would want to help

[elfin dagger]

That seems to be the sad state of the situation, although reading what I said I can understand how it would come across I am very literal, so how about I put it this way, My wife died in 2018 after fighting cancer for 20 years (she was disagnosed at 21 and died when she was 42) she was an artist and for the anniversary of her death I would love to have a world on VRChat with all her 300 paintings in a gallery and her story (one of her paintings is in the montreal office of Ubisoft and also in the animus in Assassins Creed Valhalla) The low effort by me part is I am autistic have ADHD and bi-polar it it is win if i can even log on.

[near escarp]

I'd suggest posting on https://ask.vrchat.com/c/commissions/world-commissions/34

Maybe someone would be willing to do it, but I wouldn't hold my breath

[storm scarab]

@elfin dagger There is also VRC Traders, its a great discord for commissions. I can DM you an invite if you want.

Oh didn't even realize lol, but there ^

[elfin dagger]

Yes please

[glacial yew]

Hey guys, my first world is up and running, will be applying updates to the songlist as they are requested, but any major issues please let me know id love some feedback on this being my first...

I'm looking for a string lights or fairy lights prefab somewhere out there. Anybody know where I can find one?

[indigo fossil]

There is one by red_sim on his patreon for free I believe

I'm currently working on a world making video tutorial series for anyone who is interested

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPdWkxUSZ65Fp6ICrU7mIq1znAfPwMhNZ

[pearl scarab]

Thank you!

[solar dawn]

For whatever reason player is stuck on spawn, like kinda welded to spawn point. Did anybody had issue like that?

[oblique chasm]

@solar dawnWhen the player spawns, is it right on the ground
or do they drop a bit?
I think I've had the same problem, and raising the spawn point fixed it for me

[solar dawn]

Spawnpoint is in air

[oblique chasm]

hmm, only other problem I might know would be movement speeds on VRC_Player Mods being set to 0
If it's not that, I wouldn't really know, sorry
maybe someone else might

[solar dawn]

No that's not it either, but thanks for time

[oblique chasm]

aww, I'm sorry then
but I don't really know much
so someone else can definitely help you fix that
good luck😊

[solar dawn]

Hopefully someone will

[solar dawn]

Nope, still same

[stone marsh]

You should post a screen of your player movement script just to be sure.

Because that honestly sounds like the player doesn't have any movement speed applied. I also didn't see if you mentioned if this was for sdk2 or UDON. Because both could have different issues causing that. But I'd suspect it's related to the player mods or if udon, a script that is conflicting with your movement settings and erroneously setting them to 0 on spawn. Dunno. But sharing some screens could help troubleshooting.

[dry violet]

ok does anyone know how to fix this i made a cylinde to make a curved platform and i just hit an invidibel hitbox and float on it

idk why its a capsule

i made it a cylinder

lol i turned off the capsule thing now i fall through it this is halla anoying

whats that

this?

hazaw now i just need to fix railing and make the lights more... like lights

but then its invisible

if i disable

no its a floor i just wanted that pesky hitbox gone

thanks for the help 🙂

[graceful meteor]

anyone know the answer to this?

its not Eevee it happens in Cycles too

normal map in substance vs. normal map in blender produces these weird pixel lines across the surface

[pearl scarab]

Any idea why worlds and avatars are showing this image on vrchat?

Anybody know if re-taking and uploading your world image fixes this?

normal version

[hard rain]

Hi

[pearl scarab]

So I've never worked with area lighting before. I had a world commissioned, and one of the things they did was make area lights below the furniture to light it up. So I copied the exact settings on the area light and then baked my lighting. Nothing rendered. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[hard rain]

im a student and i want too learn how to build a new world someone can help me?

[ember drum]

baking multiple materials to one set of textures, in blender... trying to do a diffuse and some of it is just mid grey

any ideas why that might happen?

[bold ibex]

can someone help me im having trouble uploading a world because of this error

[stone marsh]

Just like it says, you have errors in your console relating to a script. Clear all the errors in your console and attempt to enter into play mode. If it fails, check your console again for hard errors "red stop signs" and take a screenshot of them and post here, or read them and determine what script they are talking about that is having an issue.

[median briar]

I don't suppose anyone has an udon script that lets you interact with a game object to switch to an avatar (by blueprint id)?

I don't want the ripply card that comes with the pedestal prefab, and my searches thus far have only turned up scripts from very early udon builds (which don't seem to work anymore)

here's an attempt, but its non-functional in game

[rain shadow]

Where are you getting the Blueprint ID from? Do you just have it assigned in the inspector?

[median briar]

it's a public string -- I set it in the udon behavior on the object.

(so yes, set in the inspector)

[rain shadow]

Is it some special setup or do you just want an avatar pedestal that doesn't have the image/ripple effect?

[median briar]

that's all I'm really after, just no ripple card

[rain shadow]

Would you want the image if it didn't have the ripple effect? or no image at all?

[median briar]

definitely no image -- I'm trying to apply this to a 'statue' with a mesh collider

[rain shadow]

Is there a reason you don't just have the blueprint ID already set for the pedestal component?

[median briar]

I didn't see it as an option until I made my own string and tried to use the 'set blueprintid' node

https://ask.vrchat.com/t/avatar-pedestals/566/5

I came across that one, but wasn't able to get it to work

maybe I just missed something

[bold ibex]

ok thx

[rain shadow]

The udon setup you made should work to change avatar though it's weird to have the get AvatarPedestal component and an AvatarPedestal component variable since they are the same thing

If your VRCAvatarPedestal variable isn't set in the inspector it will crash the udon behavior so that might be why your script isn't working?

[cunning tide]

@tawdry heron you need a post processing on/off toggle in Club Orion!

[rain shadow]

Do you have an AvatarPedestal component on that GameObject?

[median briar]

no, only my udon script... perhaps, that's the issue?

[rain shadow]

Yes it would be

You would also need to remove the VRCAvatarPedestal variable from your udon behavior and then plug the component from GetComponent into the Set blueprintID node

[median briar]

like so?

I believe I'd tried this setup in the past, but using the vrc pedestal script generated that jiggle card

I'll give it a build/test to be sure

[rain shadow]

It will generate the card like that

[median briar]

hek

ok, lemme try the get component /set id you mentioned

[rain shadow]

The avatar pedestal component will always generate the image and other information about the avatar

You could do this though

[median briar]

I feel foolish, but I don't understand what that's doing in relation to setting an avatar

or... is it just meant to disable the pedestal card when the world loads?

[rain shadow]

Yes

[median briar]

suppose that would do the trick then

shame there isn't a cleaner way to handle this

unless there is and I just suck at udon XD

[lyric acorn]

avatar pedestal script instanciates an avatar card object on load? seems like the solution then

[cerulean echo]

that looks hard <-<

[rain shadow]

Actually this doesn't work it prevents the pedestal from being functional

[median briar]

😮

[rain shadow]

It should still be possible but slightly more effort to setup

[median briar]

hmm... I've always meant to make a script for this, but I'm not entirely sure how... Can you forward an 'interact' from one object to another?

like... just put the regular pedestal somewhere in the world (far away and out of sight, maybe even scaled to nothing), and forward a click to it?

[cerulean echo]

so like you klick on an object and and get from the hiden pedestal the avatar 😮

[rain shadow]

Yeah you could and if you don't mind having avatar pedestals hidden away somewhere in your world it might be a lot easier than what I'm currently suggesting

[stone marsh]

Would work. Have done.

Pedestal just wants Interact()

Been a while but I don't see why it wouldn't work anymore

[median briar]

basically, a fing-longer, like in futurama -- but it can be embiggened infinitely in any direction.

lemme slap something together that forwards an interact()

[stone marsh]

Just have a script send interact() on interact to the pedestal

There's def better ways of doing it. But yea

Wasn't there documentation on how to set a remote trigger for pedestals too? Been a while

[rain shadow]

Any sort of custom event would work

[stone marsh]

Ah yeah there is an RPC for it

Just send "SwitchAvatar" https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_avatarpedestal

So button script would just be on interact sendRPC SwitchAvatar

[rain shadow]

@median briar The easiest way to achieve this though would be to use this to override the transform position of where the image display shows up

Just make an empty game object and assign it and move it very far away

[stone marsh]

Is there not a mesh renderer for the pedestal (not the stand)?

[median briar]

I tried desperately to do that a few weeks back. Not sure if anything's changed, but I was never able to get working pedestals if the placement was targeting something else.

my current 'solution' is to move the pedestal hundreds of meters down, and the collider the same distance back up.

but it's not elegant

[rain shadow]

Ah right

[median briar]

scratch that -- not the pedestal, but the 'statue' origin point

so the card renders at the origin

which is super far away -- thus the inelegance... makes it impossible to move or rotate an object nicely, but it works /shrug

[stone marsh]

Might not be a big deal, but also wouldn't be a way to cull them and rendering far out things may not be ideal. Just stacking them in a wall or under a floor may be better but also may be pointless. Just speculating.

[median briar]

I generally push them past the camera's view distance

[stone marsh]

Fair

[median briar]

one issue with this method is that you can still see the card's blue outline when reaching into the collider if it's not beyond the camera

(so, blue boxes through walls/floors, etc..)

[stone marsh]

Why not just have a button sending an RPC then at that point?

[median briar]

heh... don't suppose someone can give me a crash course in RPC?

it's not something I've done before

my brain is turning to mush

[stone marsh]

Can send with UI buttons easily. Just a drop down option. I'm not home so can't send screenshot. If using a UI button, you'd add the game object that had the pedestal script on it to the button, then in the drop down a sendRPC option will show.

If using a script, would be easy to do with CyanTrigger.

Use tab to search through udon when using noodles instead of space. Try searching for rpc. I forget what it would be under.

[median briar]

this needs to be an interact when clicking a game object (avatar statue)

seems silly to send custom event twice, but that should hit the target object

which would be the pedestal

[stone marsh]

Not custom event. Isn't there a SendRPC exposed to udon? Sorry I'm not home. I can hit ya up later.

[median briar]

lemme check

[stone marsh]

Use tab to search

Instead of spacebar

[median briar]

not finding anything by searching rpc with either tab or spacebar

[stone marsh]

Fair. I forget how it'd be done. Would be easier if I was at my computer. Sorry man.

Wonder if you can trigger a UI button from udon.

[rain shadow]

Here's my solution from earlier but functional

[median briar]

witchcraft!

dang

so it just iterates through all child objects and disables them?

[rain shadow]

Yeah children of the generated pedestal script

[median briar]

this is probably the most performant too, since it cuts out the bloat.

[stone marsh]

Nice

[median briar]

@stone marsh, I'm gonna work with @rain shadow's script, but I would like to get back with you on the RPC stuff at some point. I imagine it would be really handy to have a better understanding of it.

Thanks y'all -- one less bit to stress about XD

[stone marsh]

It's pretty much how you setup UI for video players n stuff. I mainly use it with UI but there are a ton of RPCs for various vrc scripts. Tis also how u respawn sync objects.

It may not be exposed to udon. I cant remember. Super def had the best option realistically tho. Nice solution

[median briar]

a lot nicer than the -/+ origin offset

[stone marsh]

Lol wat. Yeah. sendRPC Respawn xP

I've switched over to using Brokered Sync entirely for pickups tho so I can't use sendRPC to respawn those and do have to reset rotation and position but was easy af with CyanTrigger. Man I love that script

[modern ridge]

For a world i may or may not finish. (rendered in blender)

[stray oxide]

I was wondering if its possible to export a world then import it into another file. (i want to merge my two worlds basically)

[near escarp]

I haven't heard of anyone doing it before, if you're going to attempt, back up your two projects before trying

I would assume there would be a lot of conflict between the files

If you just want the mesh that would be easy

but anything more might be difficult

[stray oxide]

Okay forgive me for a sec im rather new to unity but, how exactly do i back it up

[near escarp]

duplicate the folder, compress it with winrar/7zip and upload it to your google drive

[stray oxide]

Ah thank you

[stray oxide]

Its possible. Export every asset on both worlds, new file > import both copy the inside of one scene to another

[barren belfry]

help me (im french) mention me , I have already done what they asked me but it did not solve the problem, and I had already made versions before

[random owl]

Sign out and sign back in to the SDK and if that does not help contact #vrchat-support

[untold pewter]

So many really nice worlds have the default near clipping distance and its literally the worst, please lower it to 0.01, or 0.001, save us small folks

[storm scarab]

@untold pewter are you referring to the rendering aspect of objects?

how small avatars are we talking, because ive been in small avatars and never really had an issue

[untold pewter]

Even at 1m tall it becomes an issue because people's hands will stop rendering before they touch the head, and it only gets worse as you get smaller

If somone touches me on the nose and all I see is their hand being removed from existance it kinda sucks

If I switch to my smallest avatar I have to either quit the game or have a friend make a portal to a world with better culling, because the quick menu and radial menus get culled

dont really use small avatars that much so ive never had that issue, sounds shitty though

[valid urchin]

i need help making an animator play by a button. i watched the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuWbH5c9CBI already but it didnt seem to work

[mild spade]

Can you post pictures of your set up?

[mild spade]

Are those two different graphs? The first graph is calling an event on the second graph right? On the animator, do you have two bools? Or what are you trying to do? (Since you are getting a bool with different names (Play and House)

[valid urchin]

i fixed a few things and theres a bigger picture

yes, the button is calling the house

the bool is play, the animator is house

[mild spade]

I see two problems: it seems like you put the wrong script in the wrong behaviour. You want to put the scrip with the "Interact" where there is a collider. So you want to change their script. Put the "EventButton" script where the collider (button) is.

And put the "house" where the other script it.

The second problem, is your reference udon behaviour is referencing itself, rather than the other script. It also has an empty "eventName" You want to type there the name of the custom event, on your case is called "ToggleHouse"

[valid urchin]

under public variables behavior doesnt seem to let me choose, how come?

(i fixed them)

[mild spade]

You can drag the object. Ah ok

[valid urchin]

it will not allow me to drag

[mild spade]

Im sorry, I could not see your mouse in the video. You can´t drag the "House" gameObject and put it there? There is a more simple script you can use that does not involves calling custom events in your situation. You could do it like this so you dont have to reference other script. Basically you have everything on one script. And you just put this where your button is (with the collider)

[valid urchin]

It isnt working >.<

Thank you for your help though

[lucid wagon]

Hi, i tried to publish my 1st world, unity says it published without an issue but when my friends and i tried to join it loads up, we see black screen and then appear back in our home world

also test build works well, did anyone have to deal with this issue before? (world is unpublished again so people dont try to join it)

[sturdy lynx]

Do you have a lot of things being loaded in upon joining?
Any error messages in Unity console?

[lucid wagon]

here are the errors i get, was thinking about trying to remove everything and uploading it bit by bit and seeing when it breaks

[wide citrus]

so, i started making this christmas map
and sometime i cant test it for some reason.
it says that "SampleScene.vrcw" is missing.

Do either of these 2 solutions work for a vrc world?
I haven't been able to do either successfully

[vivid belfry]

Heya, do you guys use audio mixer in Unity when using more than one audio source and does VRChat support such feature?

[brisk spear]

are we able to spwn objects and if so how is it done in U# like can't find anything can someone help

[ruby jay]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/networking#vrcinstantiate is one, the next chapter talks about object pools

[graceful meteor]

why do all of my bump maps look like shit in blender?

but they look fine in substance

Its like space invaders

correct??

[pearl scarab]

Do you all know if udon touch buttons like in Just B Club and Zixhas Apartment are available for purchase anywhere?

[stone marsh]

I don't know which ones they specifically use, but these are about the best. There are push buttons, sliders, and touch buttons (like a quad that senses a finger collision). Comes with PSDs and scripts to rebake the buttons if needed. If you get them, def join the discord, he offers really good support if needed. https://booth.pm/en/items/2906380

There's also one on Gumroad called "impresive Buttons" however it's much more limited and not as performant, but it is cheaper if that's a concern. I've purchased both, and the one linked is def the best, but depends on what you really need and how many buttons or how complex of usage do you desire.

[pearl scarab]

Style-wise those don't look like they mesh well for what I'm trying to build. I found the credited creator of the Just B Club one's: Kova's PlayerInteraction. I just don't know where to even begin searching for them though cuz there isn't any link.

[stone marsh]

Eh, I mean it's up to you to make things look how you want xP prefabs are just base examples.

Those ones are super limited tho. But free at least. Here's the link to the download for the ones from Kova. https://bitbucket.org/akovaloid/vrc-physical-interaction/src/master/ They also are not as performance friendly, however, they would work for simple toggles and at least it's free.

Impressive Buttons can look exactly the same, and even has a round button, but is at least more performance friendly and is being actively developed still. But is 10 bucks. If that visual style is a must

[graceful meteor]

@near escarp is it because I'm using a 2k height map for a 4k image?

[pearl scarab]

Thanks!

Anybody know if there is a resource or how I would go about creating a lighting toggle with baked lightmaps? I basically went a button to swap the lightmap.

[near escarp]

No clue, i don't use textures in blender

[graceful meteor]

testing now with 4k height map

I think the geometry of the mesh is just too simple to use with such a stark height map?

So maybe I just need displacement modifier

[kindred void]

hi as soon as i get the sdk 3 in unity i have this error that appears

[civic ibex]

@kindred void It looks like Cinemachine did not properly install with your VRChat SDK 3. Could you do the following? Search for Cinemachine in Package manager

[kindred void]

good thanks you fixed

[kindred void]

I have this new error that I don't understand

[naive tinsel]

Hi i added ladders into my world but I am not sure how to make them climbable, I have added colliders into them but still cant climb them anyone know how to fix this?

They are a solid object, I don't walk through them but I cant walk up them I stop being able to go up after about 1 step

[graceful meteor]

@near escarp this was the explanation behind my previous question if you're curious

in other words, there's nothing to reflect, so its reflecting the void

[near escarp]

ah, interesting problem

[graceful meteor]

the bump map thing I fixed using a displacement map instead

[bold ibex]

i brokey it, sdk isnt showing properly. i tried to del and reinstall it but that did not workey

[glacial yew]

Try taking off your collider on your ladder, and placing a steep staircase in line with your ladder and turning off the mesh renderer

[naive tinsel]

ok thank you

[atomic patio]

if I place two cubes intersecting, is there a way to hide one of them, so it also hides the part that is intersecting, like a kind of "negative" option?

[kindred void]

I downloaded preset udon and on all the preset I have this error why

[zealous cave]

How would i make a sound sound like its just background noise? Becuase when i place a sound, it always comes from that point, and i haven't found a setting to change that

[ruby jay]

try to slide the audio source to 2d and play with the other effects
other than that, you will have to reposition the source for a distant 3d influence

[unkempt turtle]

not that i know of, but you should rather do this stuff in blender or any other 3d modelling program anyway, gives you a lot more freedom than just cubes, spheres and cylinders

[ruby jay]

yes, unity is not intended to be a 3d model editing software

[valid urchin]

there are only 5 spookality worlds, i have mine in comminity labs, does mine not count?

[storm scarab]

community labs are (((public))) not public

[ripe geode]

the home world comin' along nicely #sheesh

[unkempt turtle]

🤔

[ripe geode]

wtf

it supposed to look like that

nvm fixed it

[grim girder]

Does anyone know how to make static portal with VRCPortalMarker?

[wise sedge]

Any elements with canvas components in my world are automatically getting assigned a box collider that matches their size

any way to stop this?

[kind leaf]

Thats what modules(Assets) are for. Unity is modular to give developers the freedom to choose the size and resource impact of their software; as opposed to Unreal which strives to be an all in-one. Neither are ideal with their modules or built-in features for modeling but both provide significant alternatives to speed up production. In most cases, unless you are modeling something obscure, using the engines modeling features is suitable. Using an external editor comes with it's own obstacles such as shader compatibility, and scale that might not conform to Unity.

[inland cave]

Would be nice if Unity did some of the basics with some kind of aptitude though (stares at terrain)

[inland cave]

If it were not for VRChat I would honestly never use this engine - for smaller prototypes and projects Godot is more agile and every solution to a problem you need doesn't require handing over $50 to some random guy as you cross your fingers it's the thing you actually needed, or Unreal Engine because they actually reinvest the money they get into real tools.

[inland cave]

While Blender has a learning curve, there's two tools I use to make import/export between Blender and Unity quick and predictable in a way FBX import isn't.

• I have a free blender plugin called Capsule that lets you batch export assets in whatever format you wish, and it will automatically center objects in your scene - https://github.com/Takanu/Capsule

• GLTFUtility lets me export assets in the GLTF format and be readable in Unity, including basic PBR shader support, much faster import times and no busted scaling or transform issues. While the shaders wont look the same as they do in Blender it's great for prototyping as it gets you closer to an end result faster - https://github.com/Siccity/GLTFUtility

[cerulean echo]

@wise sedge if you dont need the box colider for pressing eny button or slides in the ui look if you addet ui shapes script and remove it if you dont need the boxcolider

[wise sedge]

It's removed but upon runtime they're added back.

Which is the problem.

[cerulean echo]

hmm normaly should not wen its removed weard

does anyone have any info on how strict the avatar optimization rules are on pedestals in worlds because, I keep continuously seeing worlds that have avatars above the max poly count and with other stuff that goes over the limits that are put in "avatars optimization doc" is this still a hard rule that it wont be made public if it violates those limits or has it changed or its more suggestions?

[kindred void]

in fact i could import my fbx in unity but i can't place it because it's too big for unity of any size

[random owl]

Oh that shows up on fbx import? I assumed on build from quick look at the error.

[kindred void]

as soon as I click on the fbx I get this error

I would like to know how to reduce the size of the fbx

[random owl]

It really depends on what data that fbx has

You might just want to sanity check everything in blender

[misty wave]

If I publish my world on private so I can test it with friends and then later share it to Labs, will it still show up under the New tab on the explore menu?

[near escarp]

new is for newly publicly published

[faint geyser]

hey i keep getting the how do i fix

[near escarp]

You have console errors

[torpid stratus]

What's the most up to date video player for sdk2

[glacial yew]

which channel is best to share world link for feedback

[stiff solar]

Recently, the world I uploaded was fine but my new update I did made it inaccessible - after the world is loaded, it just shows black screen for 1-2 seconds then the loading screen with the button "Return Home" appears.

The thing is, the world didn't ran into any problems when I uploaded it using Unity. I assume that slow Internet during the upload may be the culprit, so could that be a possibility?

[rain shadow]

Yeah there's a couple of things that can go wrong during the upload process that can cause that

If you don't have any errors in the unity console a reupload is likely to work

[stiff solar]

I'll try later when my Internet is at the least "stable."

[rain shadow]

Without? what are you trying to do?

You can use the VRC chair prefab and disable or remove the mesh that is within the prefab

Unless you need something more specific?

That's only visual

the actual thing that the player interacts with is the box collider

Yeah

It's good practice to make the collider a lot smaller than the default however

That would work but the colliders could be even smaller

Aha

You should test and build and see if the chairs actually position the avatar correctly

Afaik the default stations suck super bad actually

They position way too low I think

Yeah I can link you an improved station prefab if its not good

[nova locust]

I made an animation where a chair would float down and up. I checked the preview and it worked and it looked good. But when I entered the test client, the animation wasn't working. I checked Google, trying many different answers and none of them worked.

Any idea why it won't work in the game, but it worked in the preview?

[rain shadow]

Are you using an animator or animation component?

[nova locust]

animation component

[rain shadow]

Those won't work you will need to recreate the animation with an animator component

[nova locust]

oh really?

[rain shadow]

Yeah they are blocked in VRChat for security reasons

[nova locust]

I thought the animator is for avatar

[rain shadow]

Yeah they can be fully utilized in worlds too

[nova locust]

I see

But how do I animate an object with animator?

[rain shadow]

It's basically identical to how you would with an animation

In fact you likely don't need to animate anything

If you go to the animation file and change the inspector to debug there is a legacy option that you will need to disable there

After that you could just drag and drop it onto the game object that you want animated and it will setup the animator component with that animation for you

[nova locust]

Oh, I see

@rain shadow oh it works now! Thank you very much! You rock.

[nova locust]

Aright, I have another issue. Well, it's not exactly an issue. I've set up two scenes. I followed the youtube tutorials for a trigger to teleport the player to another scene. But I couldn't find a good video or the one that used a button to teleport the player to the next scene.

I'm familiar with C+, btw, but I just can't figure out how to make a button that allows the player to move on to the next scene.

[ruby jay]

you cannot use multiple scenes in vrchat worlds

[nova locust]

Oh really? I thought it was possible. I mean, are you sure cuz there were some worlds that had different scenes (different skyboxes, different lighting settings, and etc)

If not the scenes, then how did they do it?

For my world, I wanted to do one scene with bright light. Then next scene with darker light and black fog. It’ll also be in black and white.

[winter stump]

ight what's the latest video player that works, I'm a bit out of date on this info

I've been using wolfes one

[near escarp]

techanon made a world that holds all the video players you can test, go check it out !

[winter stump]

cheers!

[ruby jay]

skyboxes can be changed at runtime
so can lighting settings, especially easy when using dynamic light, which some dynamic worlds do, light changes can also be more or less well faked with post-processing
unity fog can be changed as well
and black-white can be achieved using the colour grading post-processing stack

[royal jay]

ive decided that im gonna spend one hour a day on a new world until its finished. This is todays progress. [Day 001] (i know im slow, its been a while since ive made things)

[ruby jay]

consider using https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu for quick testing

[royal jay]

0-0

:0

🙏 thank you

[ruby jay]

it allows for limited testing of worlds within unity, networked testing however still must be done at least in offline builds

[royal jay]

gotcha!

todays progress was getting the framework in for the spawn location, to the right will be a not-pokemonTM battle room
(i dunno, i think itll be cool) and to the left will be a relaxing area with soft lighting, QV pens (if i can figure those out) a mirror and cozy decorations + furniture

[bold ibex]

Does anyone know why my skybox doesn't appear in game but it appears in unity

[royal jay]

show your console/error log

[timid knoll]

Hello, I have a question concerning UI events in a SDK3 world: Let's say that I want a cube that once clicked displays on the screen/VR headset HUD Black stripes on top and something like "Chapter One: Text here" that then fades away to add a cinematic feel to the world, where should I place the canvas in the world if I need to use one and how do I setup this? With an Animator and a bool system?

[royal jay]

i would like to know as well

i would assume udon but honestly have no idea

[timid knoll]

Yes, I think I know how to make it work but I have no idea of where the UI should be: On the reference camera? In the world anywhere and then it automatically shows it on the HUD? I will try and if I find an answer I'll let you know!

[royal jay]

oh, try on your source(scene?) descriptor, i vaguely remember a line about SD=player vision

could be wrong

easily could be wrong

[timid knoll]

Alright, I will try. Thank you!

[royal jay]

lemme know if that works

[timid knoll]

I have put a Canvas inside the world, and it's showing on the screen in Desktop Mode. I will have to try VR and aslo scale it because right now it's not scaled properly, But I think it works this way. I will try to animate it later on and see if it works

[royal jay]

thats awesome! im happy its working!~

[timid knoll]

Yes! One thing I noticed is that I need to disable "Raycast Target" on the canvas elements, otherwise it blocks the VRChat cursor and for exemple prevents to interact with the menu.

[royal jay]

ope, im gonna write this down for future knowledge

thanks!

[timid knoll]

Np!

[nova locust]

I see. So, how would I do the skybox thing? And how do i apply the color grading to the certain areas where the player walk?

[fossil hull]

There is also another way, some skyboxes aren't done in the settings but are just huge inverted spheres. So you have one scene but do this:

[nova locust]

Oh I see. That can work out

[fossil hull]

But if you want to use the lighting settings, you have to find the correct Unity API for that. If you are familiar with coding, maybe that will help, or any other thread: https://answers.unity.com/questions/551826/any-way-to-change-skybox-after-do-something.html

[nova locust]

Ok thank you

[winter trail]

Hey, so i need some help with my world. I want to test my world to see if it works but for some reason i cant see the upload button or whatever it called, all i see is utitles and Udon graph in the vrchat sdk

[ruby jay]

check your console logs for errors and fix them

[winter trail]

Ok i did have an error, but idk how to fix 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. assembly:UnityEngine.UI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

I'm trying to do the text on the screen. Like, when you click on something, the text comes up on your VR-screen. Now, I know how to put the text on the screen, but I don't know how to trigger it and make it stay on the screen for a screen before disappearing. Something to do with C+?

[pearl scarab]

Anybody got experience purchasing assets from CGTrader? Every FBX I have ever purchased has been missing textures and materials. Any idea why this is?

[royal jay]

Is there any way to make a world persistent or alternatively, procedurally generating?

[stray oxide]

Any clue why the shader fails to load in build and test but inside unity it shows it fine?

[near escarp]

don't use legacy shaders

[stray oxide]

Alright thank you

Whenever I attempt to use a low pass filter on a AVPro Speaker it breaks and becomes global audio ~ is this a know issue or is something specifically wrong with my setup?

[kindred void]

it's a fbx I found on the web and blender can't open it I would like to modify it

[runic pike]

How do you get rid of audio that you drag into the scene, cause I dragged in audio and now it plays at the start of the scene and the audio isn't appearing in the hierarchy.

[runic pike]

Can someone send me a link of the easy quest switch

nvm

[pure hornet]

Is it possible to adjust the ShadowCascade?
I want to adjust it because I can visibly see the cascade switching.

[long token]

is there a way to auto fix everything thats in the vrchat builder

i have a big list and wanted to know if theres a way to do it all at once instead of doing it one by one

[unkempt turtle]

head to the top one over auto fix and spam it

[long token]

yeah ive been doing that it just takes forevr cause theres so many of them lmao

[unkempt turtle]

they move up

[royal jay]

my VRCSDK window disappeared

[unkempt turtle]

check console for errors

[royal jay]

ah, thats a few, time to fix

6*

[unkempt turtle]

press clear and the ones staying cause the problem

[royal jay]

it was qv pen

sweet, all errors resolved and control panel is showing again

thanks!

really wanted qvpens tho

[stiff solar]

I ended up re-uploading a new version of my VRC home while deleting the old as the old version cannot be salvaged.

[royal jay]

[Day 002] Another hour in, framework is coming along nicely, tomorrow i think ill work on lighting, and lighting fixtures (ofc fixing things as well)

havent even started on the 2nd story yet

[royal jay]

i fixed the pink walls issue

[lyric acorn]

did you add any colliders over the world, maybe as a trigger area? the collider needs to be marked as IsTrigger else it will shunt you away which would explain at least that issue

[faint geyser]

i need help with vrchat world every time i click "build and test" and "upload to windows" nothing happens the console does nothing
i have tried restarting my pc, making new world, i have gone in to regedit and del evrything that stared with vrc in Unity Editor 5.x, clearing cache, re-import the sdk, made sure that i had the latest version of the SDK
nothing works pls help me
@ me or DM me

[royal jay]

Send a screen shot of your sdk control panel

Or just a prntscr

[faint geyser]

Ok hold

[royal jay]

Holding

still holding

[faint geyser]

sorry for wasting your time it starting work for now

[nocturne crown]

doin a bit of world making. editing textures suck

[night anvil]

please forgive me

anyone know of a good prefab source for a hangout world. I am having issues putting together fun things to do in world

[green lagoon]

https://vrcprefabs.com/

[night anvil]

is this stie meant to look like this?

[ruby jay]

click on database

[night anvil]

this is the best source for prefabs?

thank you very much for helping. it is really apricated

[green lagoon]

yes

[lyric acorn]

Is it an incompatible shader added since the last build?

Some allow you to upload but have vr issues, could explain it only coming up on quest side

[royal jay]

Facts

[nocturne crown]

Mainly for quest it really sucks

[royal jay]

I assume building for quest reduces your max polygons and world size considerably?

[green lagoon]

50 MB file size maximum on the quest

[royal jay]

Oof

[green lagoon]

so yeah definitely need to utilize crunch compression on Textures

[royal jay]

I haven't even added intractable objects or much of the main decorations to my world yet and it's already at 24mb

[green lagoon]

the quest has no expandable memory whatsoever which is why the rather low file size limit

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit this has a tool that can crunch compress all of your textures on a map and tell you what's taking up file size

[lyric acorn]

Is all the geometry under a game object? Could that be unevenly scaled or rotated?

[royal jay]

Send error log

From my experience it's normally just a single dependency breaking everything

Yikes, gimme a sec to read

[near escarp]

Can you screenshot the console errors ?

[royal jay]

^

Makes it easier to understand

Also hi rubick! It's neat seeing a dev in the world dev chat

That's out of my league, it's not an error I've seen before. Hopefully the pro can help

I'll take the risk and just @near escarp

[near escarp]

Do you use anything in the nice material pack ?

[royal jay]

2019.?.31f1

[near escarp]

refresh the console then

clear

[royal jay]

👍

Only on quest?

Interesting

They're fine in unity tho?

Nani

And it's fine on pcvr?

release the world as PC only

Idk, could be fixed with the right version install

Omg

I need to check it out then

With some roughness masks and light baking that would look nice

[placid nacelle]

what who where and the what now?

[stoic oak]

hello, i am trying to make a vrc world rn and i keep getting the error "Assets\VRCSDK\Dependencies\VRChat\Editor\EnvConfig.cs(416,28): error CS0117: 'PlayerSettings' does not contain a definition for 'SetVirtualRealitySDKs"

anyone know how to fix

?

the error only pops up when i use the vrcsdk3 pack

[near escarp]

Make sure you're using the correct version of unity

Which would now be 2019.4.31f1

[stoic oak]

ok

[faint geyser]

hey im getting this
Export Exception - System.IO.FileNotFoundException: C:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Temp/DefaultCompany/optimize world/scene-StandaloneWindows64-SampleScene.vrcw does not exist
File name: 'C:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Temp/DefaultCompany/optimize world/scene-StandaloneWindows64-SampleScene.vrcw'
how do fix

[near escarp]

By checking the other errors in the console

[nocturne crown]

is there any tool I can use to make world/avatar thumbnails without putting a png on a plane?

[kind leaf]

Not that I know of, but in the time it takes to ask your plane/png thumbnail could be done 🙂 There is a tool to automatically set your vrccam making thumbnails faster but ctrl+shift+F works just as well

[pearl scarab]

Any idea why increasing the size of a canvas and its contents made the buttons not clickable?

[nocturne crown]

I saw one called pumpkin tools but didn’t know if there was any others

[bleak prism]

I hope I'm just being a bit stupid, but I'm trying to just test making a world- and when I hit "Build & Test" Nothing happens. No console output, nothing. Checked that the game was linked properly in settings.

It's quite literally an empty scene with a VRCWorld prefab and a spawn linked

oh restarting it just.. worked. nevermind

[low quest]

World is finished btw

[cerulean echo]

i got a qustion on the spookality event i Submit a map but i stil dont see it in the list do i need to public it or i do smathink wronk?

[tidal bear]

still modeling and putting in basic materials, ill add decorations soon then textures

[bleak prism]

Is this being done in Blender?

[tidal bear]

yep

[bleak prism]

Huh. Is it common for people to make entire rooms in blender?

[tidal bear]

very much

[bleak prism]

Interesting. I just made a map in a few hours with Unity but the tools for it are so limited. Blender would probably be a lot more useable in that regard

[tidal bear]

if you really want everything from scratch you can in blender

[bleak prism]

Neat. Thanks for sharing that!

[tidal bear]

no problem

[low quest]

It's good to establish a workflow between Unity and Blender

Not relying too much on one or the other

[misty wave]

this looks beautiful

[low quest]

Thank you!

[neat badger]

Is it possible to set up the reference camera in a world to render in multiple passes, so you can render the world in one pass, and players in a second pass, with different post processing effects?

[royal jay]

Only unity, no blender

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/361741445352259584/895926446193782824/unknown.png

why do i get this?
the script is for all my mirror toggles and such

my vrc_trigger scripts rely on the event handler

[floral trail]

Hi, i want to make a bar world and i would like to know where i can have a tutorial showing me how to put liquid in a cup (like a lot of word have) and have a possibility to "drink" it and if possible quest compatible. I know Starfarer have some drink like this.
Plus if possible a way to create a props spawner and when it reach the maximum it delete the oldest props and maybe a thing when you drop liquid at the ground it make a mark on the ground and you can clean it with a sponge

[cold meteor]

anyone here know how to make a trigger disappear as well as toggle another object off? having trouble

[mild spade]

So you want on Interact to turn 2 gameobjects off?

[cold meteor]

if possible

[mild spade]

Something like this will do.

[cold meteor]

ty

would this work?

[mild spade]

Yes, but Unary Negation will flip the active state of a gameobject (if it is on, it will turn it off and the other way around) So if the object calls the Interact event, it will turn both objects on again. But since the button itself turns off (i think) You should be fine (unless the button gets active) It all depends what you are trying to do.

[cold meteor]

i'll test if it works

[pallid dove]

does anyone know why get this because i can't update you new venisoon of unity

[royal jay]

hour 4 of working on the new world

[royal jay]

says in bottom left i think? could be wrong tho

[mossy onyx]

anyone knows how to fix it? before i could with no problem upload the world, but after few changes this text pops up and logs me out from sdk

[faint geyser]

how do i add jumping on my world

[near escarp]

You would have to reach out for the support team to help you fix it

[kind leaf]

Assets>VRChat Examples>Prefabs>Prefabs_UdonProgramSources>VRCWorldSettings. Or just use the VRCWorld Prefab which has the scene descriptor + pipeline manager & the player mods already ready for you.

[faint geyser]

thx

[pallid dove]

ok

[pallid dove]

Simple fix push play reset the pipeline management or remove it as a component and then try uploading it again

[lyric acorn]

Using 1s toolkit, “unity built-in” is taking between 11mb in one project and over 40 in another. The /resources folder is empty. How do I reduce this or diagnose what is contributing?

[near escarp]

static batching usually

[lyric acorn]

Hmm I had thought it was a good thing to static batch, or this is just representative of that and not really an outside asset to compress or reduce

[near escarp]

good for optimization ! not good for file size

[lyric acorn]

Ah ok, well onward to that 50mb journey.

[oak fjord]

bump on this - i'm part of the org team for one of the world's biggest AR/VR hackathons, and we're organizing a vrchat worldbuilding jam this weekend and looking for a couple more folks to help teach people to make awesome vrchat worlds!!

if you're interested please fill out this short form (or just DM me honestly LOL)

Assets\USharpVideo\Scripts\USharpVideoPlayer.cs(114,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UdonSynced' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[stark void]

Does anyone here know how to make world player audio global? Meaning for voices?

[junior frigate]

I bought a premade world to play with, but it needs unity 2018. If I upload it from 2019 it just crashes on spawn. If I try to use the current world sdk3 in unity 2018 I can't get the vrc menu. Where would I get the last world sdk3 for unity 2018 so I can make this work?

[near escarp]

Why does it need 2018 ?

[amber flint]

Anyone have a favorite media player they'd recommend?

[kind leaf]

I use Nisha Wolfe (meets my needs for every build) but ProTv2 is good and feature rich.

[amber flint]

thanks, ill check them out

[somber heart]

I'm trying to make a meteor shower and wanted to add a fire sound as they fell and an explosion sound upon impact...
Is there a way to connect audio to particles or at least have the explosion play on collider impact?

[severe acorn]

is there a reason i load into a world i uploaded then get kicked and sent to my home world, before it used to work but now its like i got vote kicked and i cant even actually load into the world itself

when i do a local build test it works but in game it doesnt

[ruby jay]

are you using the latest sdk?

[ruby jay]

it probably emptied all udon asset references, i think re-importing may fix this

[faint geyser]

Yes

[bold ibex]

thats not very agile of you, you already know why this is happening but u decide to add more drawcalls for the support team... shame on u

[ruby jay]

the support team is equipped to solved this problem, i would assume this is not ruuubick's area

it's also not very nice to talk like this with people

[faint geyser]

This is on the latest sdk

[bold ibex]

u have 3 options: login to the correct accoumt. Remove the vrc scene descriptor and then add it again. Remove the world ID in the scene descriptor

[faint geyser]

how do i fix this
Assets\USharpVideo\Scripts\USharpVideoPlayer.cs(114,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UdonSynced' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[bold ibex]

I dont understand, this the world development channel and ruubick is unity god he can solve all problems not only rubik cube problems

[unkempt turtle]

this is a problem only the team can fix. the id is stuck in a place where it belongs to no one, and they have to get it out manually. and they just happen to handle that stuff via tickets

[bold ibex]

Ok I see but rubik could've clarified this, its not very nice way to talk with people just send them to support team and wait for ticket for weeks

[bold ibex]

slashu cry every nite his world broken.. support ticket in progress for weeks, so sad

[bold ibex]

He rarely reccomends support tickets for what ive seen in the past month

not a good sign for you if he does heh

[boreal trellis]

I have a question.
Does SDK3 have the ability to get images from URLs like VRC_Panorama?
I'm thinking of transitioning, but I can't find VRC_Panorama in SDK3.

[ruby jay]

no, not supported yet, there is a way to fetch avatar images however

[boreal trellis]

Thank you.
I've decided to still continue using SDK2.

[faint geyser]

hey i cant find any tv for vrchat for sdk3.0
if you know any pls let me know

[ruby jay]

https://github.com/MerlinVR/USharpVideo

[faint geyser]

i keep geting this

[dusk sapphire]

did you install udonsharp as well?

[faint geyser]

oh do i need that

[dusk sapphire]

yes

[faint geyser]

can you send link?

found it thx

im geting this now

@dusk sapphire

[dusk sapphire]

unity 2019.4.31f1? Latest VRCSDK3?

[faint geyser]

yes

[ruby jay]

you should read the site i sent

[dusk sapphire]

you may want to reimport usharpvideoplayer

[ruby jay]

they explain how to install

[faint geyser]

I did that

[stray oxide]

Anyone know how to prevent the text from clipping through the walls?

[faint geyser]

its still not working @dusk sapphire

[dusk sapphire]

did you import anything else in your project?
VRCSDK > UdonSharp > USharpVideoPlayer
shouldn't have any issues, provided you are on unity 2019.4.31f1 and using the latest releases of the above

if you scroll all the way to the top on your console, what are the errors there?

[faint geyser]

Assets\UdonSharp\Editor\UdonSharpEditorCache.cs(146,39): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UdonSharpProgramAsset' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[dusk sapphire]

what's Gizmos/UdonSharp? nvm thats fine

[faint geyser]

yes its is udonsharp

[stray oxide]

I have gizmos but also this

You might just genuinely be missing this part

[dusk sapphire]

nah they have it

are you sure you're on the latest vrcsdk?

[stray oxide]

Ah sorry i just started lurking haha

[faint geyser]

yes

[faint geyser]

yes

[dusk sapphire]

I don't see VRChat Examples or Udon folder in your assets

what is the vrcsdk unitypackage you used

[faint geyser]

i have made a sepret flder for the vrchat things

[dusk sapphire]

yeah.. don't move them around like that

[faint geyser]

ok

am i fine now

now i dont have this how do i fix this

[dusk sapphire]

i'd just do a fresh reimport, pretty sure dependencies folder is supposed to be in the vrcsdk folder

[faint geyser]

im still getting it

nvm

[faint geyser]

hey how do i have a video autostart when the world opens

[unkempt turtle]

there should afaik, just no idea how, never worked with video players before

all the movie worlds and even the old home world from 2018 had that feature

[faint geyser]

when i to upload my world it gos to the upload thing ware you can name it and that i click upload nothing hapend and my vrchat menu dissperes i have to reopen the world to get the menu back how do i fix

[nocturne crown]

how do I make it so a world toggle can toggle multiple avatar pedestals at once?

[slow rampart]

World no longer uploads properly. Not sure of the problem. It's possibly the Standard Vertex Color shader I've been using since Unity 2018, but I'm not sure.

[kind linden]

Check the console for any errors

[slow rampart]

I have it displayed in the screenshot. There's only warnings.

[kind linden]

Try using the standard shader or materials

Or maybe try making a new scene just to try build it

[slow rampart]

Removing the Standard + Vertex Color did nothing. I'm still getting this error and it won't build.

I created a fresh scene and brought everything over and there's still this error.

This is starting to drive me insane

How on earth was the Pipeline Manager the problem

[bold ibex]

idk honestly

i also have no clue why that was my first instinct i have no clue what is going on with your world

reading it now

about scenes and such

[kind linden]

it's asking to reload a scene that's not even open

[bold ibex]

but why wot

i barely know anything about unity engine as a game engine

[kind linden]

@slow rampart I'd make a backup of your project, then try pressing the reload button

Actually, whatever it's reloading is already in the file.

[bold ibex]

idk it might be some weird cloud bug

since they have the plus signs on their files

[kind linden]

Unless you fixed it and that's what you were saying here.

[kind linden]

I don't see any plus signs

[slow rampart]

Yeah it works now, I just did as @bold ibex said: delete the Pipeline Manager and re-add it.

[kind linden]

Programming. Yipee :|

Glad to know you fixed it tho!

[slow rampart]

Not sure how that fixed it, but I bet was from when the scene was in Unity 2018 and its version of the SDK

[kind linden]

who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slow rampart]

I had to turn the Pipeline Manager off and on again.

i'm just glad it wasn't the shaders messing it up.

[bold ibex]

oh wait yeah it isnt on the cloud anymore i guess i was going off of their screenshots from like 10 days ago

[slow rampart]

It would ruin the look of the world without the Standard + Vertex Color Shader.

[bold ibex]

can i ask how u made the general landscape of the world

like the floating islands

[slow rampart]

.fbx file exported from Blender

[bold ibex]

well yes but like h o w

[slow rampart]

Oops wrong reply

[void mauve]

am I able to create structs in udon sharp?

[sturdy lynx]

Sdk3 or sdk3?

Super simple solution, empty gameobject as parent
Place the avatar stools as childs to the parent.

If parent goes inactive, none of the others are visible as childs.

[nocturne crown]

found it out but thx

🙂

[topaz bridge]

added music to my quest world but the audio is so quiet any ideas?

[nocturne crown]

may be the audio range

[faint geyser]

how do i fix this
i have tried resetting the pipeline

[stray oxide]

Detach blueprint ID then reattach
reimport the SDK
fully reboot pc
try some of those and see if they fix it

Ive had that issue before but mine kinda just fixed its self when i left it alone for a few days some how

Anyone know how to fix this text clipping throughout the map?

[faint geyser]

i keep getting loged out tho

[mild spade]

Does it happen on unity only? Or also in the game?

[stray oxide]

In game (and unity, but the ss is from the game)

[mild spade]

Could be the shader. is it a Text Mesh Pro UI? Text Mesh Pro? Canvas?

[stray oxide]

Uhh lemme figure that out

[stray oxide]

Its a 3D text

[mild spade]

You could use a Text Mesh Pro 3D text instead of the unity 3D text. Looks better and the shader it uses doesnt go trough walls.

[stray oxide]

Ah thank you, i didnt realize the 3D text caused that!

[mild spade]

Is the shader it uses, but Text Mesh Pro is a better text in my opinion than the default Unity Text

[topaz bridge]

i shall try that

I’ll dm you my settings

[faint geyser]

when i go to upload my world i get logged out of my acc how do i fix

[pearl scarab]

Anybody know about this unity_builtin_extra? It's the second largest thing on my project. Found places online saying to remove it from resources but I don't even know how to find the resources folder. Help please!

[white gulch]

Does anyone know where to get a blueprint for a world already uploaded?

i lost my old World Descriptor

[near escarp]

in the sdk window, content manager

otherwise on the website in your world tab

[vital flame]

Uh, any idea why it only says this in my World sdk?

[near escarp]

console errors

[vital flame]

How can I fix?

[near escarp]

these are warnings, need to see the errors

[vital flame]

Oh right.. one sec, deleted and reimported the SDK things to see

[vital flame]

Ok I did that and now the SDK menu is not there at all....

This one error

[dusk sapphire]

Delete Standard Assets/Utility/SimpleActivatorMenu.cs
standard assets was never updated for unity 2019 and so some scripts are outdated and incompatible, its safe to delete that one as it has no real use in vrchat

[vital flame]

Oo alright, after I delete what do I do?

[dusk sapphire]

still having errors?

[vital flame]

Havent tried yet, but I will

[native cobalt]

Is there a way to bump up the render que of player UI names using some sort of enabler like depth enablers for volumetric rays? I need to use transparency for a map but it hides player names. Unless someone here knows how to fade in/fade out materials swaps and not just swap without transition.

[split scarab]

I have heard of Unity's particle system. Am I able to use it in VRChat World Creations???

[bold ibex]

yup

and avatars too

Just don't go overboard as they can get expensive to render

[split scarab]

Alright thanks!!

[nocturne prairie]

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

[ruby jay]

check your console log for errors

[neat badger]

How am I supposed to set up the layers for my world? I've done it before but I either forgot how, or the option to do it is missing. Where is the thing I need to click to configure it?

[lyric acorn]

When you first try to upload it will ask to generate it for you

After it’s in edit-project settings-physics

[pseudo flower]

Hi there! My name is kurara\ kaether (In game name) and I just finished my first VRchat world build today. But I kinda ran into 2 problems, which are glitchy walls due to them being not existing as one object or mesh. Another problem is that I did not take not for the size of avatars before building. Thus the HUGE room. If anyone can help me fix the glitchy wall problem?

[lyric acorn]

Can you explain the wall issue, it sorta looks like it’s only displaying on one side and not the reverse, is that what you are seeing?

If they are flickering then that’s an overlapping mesh issue, but I’m not sure from the pictures, if you can give more detail

[pseudo flower]

yes! I think its the overlapping mesh! I don't know how to unify the mesh so I just slapped them together... hahha...

[lyric acorn]

You would need to move apart the meshes a bit so they don’t overlap exactly, or edit them so they don’t overlap either back in blender or in unity if you want to adjust the scale

It’s an issue called z-fighting if you want to look it up later, two overlapping meshes and the game doesn’t know which one to render so it tries to render both

[pseudo flower]

Thank you so much ! I'll look up how to fix the mesh problem. Your help is greatly appreciated!

[neat badger]

To be more specific, I had to add the VRCWorld prfab to my scene, and only then did the buttons to set up the the layers and collision matrix appear under the Build tab. That's really unintuitive...

[vital flame]

I got the menu back, and tried the option to recompile. After it did, I still get the same menu options..

And uh... a lot of errors...

I didnt make the map btw, I commissioned it and wanted to port from 2018 to 2019 and with the newest SDK... dang

Now its got missing scrips due to the old SDK eventhough I deleted it all u.u

[lyric acorn]

Vrc doesn’t work well deleting the sdk, even if reimporting. Is this a sdk2 or sdk3 world ?

[chilly grove]

Did you replace the SDK2 symbol defines in your project settings with the SDK3 and UDON ones?

[lyric acorn]

Errors are sdk3 but not sure if they intended to upgrade to sdk3 or just 2019 update

General solution is start a fresh project, import sdk2 or sdk3 (depending on prior sdk used), import udon sharp if it is sdk3, then move over your asset directory but exclude vrchat directories, basically don’t overwrite

[chilly grove]

Looks like they upgraded from 2 to 3

It's complaining about VRCSDK2 references missing

[lyric acorn]

There’s a cyantrigger tutorial now on upgrading from 2 to 3 if that’s what they want

[vital flame]

It was SDK2, I deleted and put SDK3...which may probably ruined it or smth

yeah

Oh well, I can always start from scratch and just import all assets to a new project

[vital flame]

Yea

[sullen cape]

world development is sweet af -- just wanted to say

[lyric acorn]

Get the project working again as sdk2 first and updated, then migrate to sdk3, let me find the tutorial

[sullen cape]

buildin' worlds y'all -- jus sayin' that's tight -- we're all hella blessed

[vital flame]

I would but it's too heavy, I'd rather just start clean

[chilly grove]

Go to Project Setings > Player > Scripting Define Symbols and replace VRC_SDK_VRCSDK2 with UDON;VRC_SDK_VRCSDK3

[vital flame]

I know nothing about worlds, so I would like to learn anyway

[chilly grove]

Otherwise it'll still try to use SDK2

[lyric acorn]

All their toggles and stuff will be off, a tutorial was just released in migration using cyantrigger, let me find

[vital flame]

It's fine

But alright

[lyric acorn]

https://youtu.be/n3AuNJW2iAc

[sullen cape]

@vital flame imagine a few years from now, the whole authoring workflow will be so much more streamlined - it's quite friction laden atm

but that's the price of being on the bleeding edge 🤘🏾

[vital flame]

Yeeeeeah

anyone there

My VRchat world in Unity has always updated before. Now it thinks i want to make a new world and that is not what i want. What am i doing wrong how do I use this Copy world ID ? am i supose to paste it somwhere

[tidal bear]

i found a place to get PBR textures loyalty free

and they look like this

up to 8k res

[fierce saffron]

anyone had this? i was testing some world edits locally then the test feature just... broke. now this is all i get

[unkempt turtle]

oh no, its back

try uploading it as private world

[fierce saffron]

i have no idea how to fix it, cleared cache etc, reset home

it is a private world

[unkempt turtle]

hmm, weird

you got any console errors?

[fierce saffron]

nope

[unkempt turtle]

and do you load into the world from your homeworld where you alone?

[fierce saffron]

no, im going though 'build and test'

[unkempt turtle]

try going through build and publish

[fierce saffron]

i can publish fine

thats how im testing atm, and its pain

I'm trying to get back into making worlds for vrchat and am trying out sdk3.0. I have built a test world and have been following tutorials but I'm stuck on the "Configure world" screen when I try to build the world. I cannot select any options or write anything in the text slots like world name and description. Everything else in unity seems fine but the game window is frozen on build. I CAN edit the camera and it updates in the game window. Using fresh sdk with unity 2019.4.31f1. I can build and test my world no problem, I just can't seem to access the game menu to get it uploaded. Any ideas?

are you on open beta?
