[frigid estuary]

Is it normal to have nothing on the builder tab in the VRC control panel in SDK3? (I am logged in)

Also using a VRCWorld prefab to spawn the player.

[unkempt mauve]

Do you have any recommendations how I could do something like this?

[still prawn]

hey! quickly dropping by to ask if anyone has any good world shaders that they can recommend me, preferably looking for ones that can make dark rooms look pitch black

[green lagoon]

that would involve your lighting settings not your shaders

[still prawn]

i've already changed the light settings to as dark as they can go, but I can still just barely see the outlines of the area. I want it to be basically pitch black

[green lagoon]

do you have like your ambient lighting turned off

[still prawn]

actually right as I sent that I just found a perfect shader for it that works well, thank you for dropping in to help though!

[green lagoon]

glad to be of help

[river creek]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to say hi and excited to get my first test in VR Chat https://gyazo.com/1a712f67f48ae45f824f7d3d1379e86a

[misty wave]

Is it possible to detect the rotation of a held object with Udon? Is there an easier way to do this? I want to enable/disable particle system when a glass is inverted

[kind leaf]

Yes, get the objects rotation, store it in a variable. Have a bool to check if the object is held. OnPickup set the bool to true. In update if bool is true check the objects current rotation with the stored rotation. If its 45 degrees or more, play particle. OnDrop set the bool to false.

[runic epoch]

trying to make textures with assets that are tiny and pixelated

i forgot the setting to make it looks crisp

so it's just been enlarged to fit, and now looks low res

[stone marsh]

On the texture import screen in the inspector for the individual textures, disable Streaming Mip Maps and use Crunch Compression with quality set to normal and compressor quality slider set to max.

Streaming mipmaps can be very useful for some situations like texture heavy environments where different res textures are needed to maintain perf. For a small VRC world, not really needed in most cases and most don't know how to properly set it up or leverage it. So just turn it off.

[misty wave]

Thank you!! I will give it a shot!! Is this very CPU intensive? I want to have a number of items with this

[kind leaf]

Nope

[misty wave]

Slick ty!!

One more question if you don't mind --

Is it wise to start out with chairs disabled? I'm worried having the number of chairs in my world will affect performance

[tulip rampart]

how would i go about making a roaming ai into a world what would be the steps in order to achieve this no other functions other than walk around the place

[near escarp]

https://youtu.be/xVXXS7HX7Og

[tulip rampart]

oh thanks for the help ;)

[misty wave]

Where do I find the documentation about like, what actions I can do in Udon? I'm reading through the docs and I can't figure out for the life of me how to toggle a particle playing because when I search it it takes me to a deprecated Wiki page.

It's literally just the Play() component on the GameObject?? How in the world

[candid pumice]

Anyone familiar with ProBuilder? My building mesh is completely being ignored in lightmap generation, and I'm unsure why. Here's what it looks like before baking.

And what it looks like after. My spotlights are realtime so they're the only lights that have an effect now.

[ruby jay]

can you show the settings/inspector view of that light in question?

[candid pumice]

There's a point light in each room. The settings are the same except for the shadow type.

I figured it out, it was the fact that the material for the walls were set to 'toon' lighting. I had to make it realistic.

[ruby jay]

not every shader can handle lightmaps

[desert python]

make a gameobject, name it "lock" and put a rotation and position contraint on it. then make a door with 2 gameobjects, and use position contraints to try and move the door around, and use the lock gameobject to keep the door in the right place

[unkempt mauve]

Thanks for the info! Now how do I make it so it’s interactive? Do I use the vrc_pickup component?

[desert python]

yes

[unkempt mauve]

Ok. I’ll play around with it and see what I can do.

[candid pumice]

The upload button on the SDK is still doing nothing for me and I upgraded to the latest one. I don't think this looks right anyway? It should be asking me to publish it to labs because I haven't uploaded this world before, right?

This is my console. If I Build & Test everything works just fine.

[ruby jay]

should be fine, player methods like to error in build segments

[candid pumice]

I figured, but the upload button just straight up doesn't work. If I remove the player and camera I still get these two errors.

[dusk sapphire]

uh, did you by any chance use the prefab VRCSDKWorld?

[candid pumice]

Like place it into my world? No. Am I supposed to?

[dusk sapphire]

nah, just checking as sometimes people mistakenly use that instead of VRCWorld and they end up with what you have

do you have any other errors in the console aside from the ones you posted?

check and make sure you only have 1 scene descriptor and pipeline manager in your scene

[misty wave]

Any recs for Udon documentation in regards to U#? Like what I can change, triggers/events etc?

[dusk sapphire]

honestly, the unity documentation itself

you'll want to check that its exposed to udon, but most commonly used api's should be available

[misty wave]

Do I just test until something works? Like I find myself trying to find if I can change some component via Udon and getting no answer

[dusk sapphire]

under Window > UdonSharp > Class Exposure Tree
lets to check to see if something is exposed to Udon

of course, for vrchat specific things like the vrcplayer api and networking you'll find them at the vrchat docs

[candid pumice]

Oh my gaw... Thank you. 😭 I went through every object and found a rando pipeline manager on a collider.

[dusk sapphire]

uh, next time you can just type "t:PipelineManager" into the search bar above your hierarchy 😅

[candid pumice]

😭 Great, thanks.

[final crag]

how much would it be for a small world with guns and a few rooms and a working ship or 2

[cursive belfry]

Hey; so I am super new to VRchat world building and I wanted to ask, is there a way to create a world that only a specific list of people can access? Sorry if it is a stupid question, as I said, I am new.

[desert python]

you can send the private link to the world with friends

[forest pollen]

hi everyone, i'm new to vr-chat. I have built a world for live events, but when I go to release unity it tells me to wait ... do you know how long it takes? Is there anyone who decides when I can publish a world?

[bold ibex]

there is no set time but if u play normally it should be like about 25 hours to New User

also make sure you are using a vrchat account or a steam/oculus account merged with a vrchat account; standalone steam/oculus accounts cant upload content and gain trust rank slowly

Btw that is a really good world for someone who is new to vrchat

you must have prior experience yeah?

[sour scaffold]

How come the text on my world renders through literally everything

[dusk sapphire]

just go into play mode and back out

ui text renders through everything in the unity editor on first launch until you go into play mode

its just in the unity editor only

[sour scaffold]

ah thank you

[forest pollen]

Hi thanks for replay.. i'm a new user of vr-chat, and i had just one experience yesterday morning inside it. I created this world open for everyone..and i'd like to share it as son as possible. 🙂

[bold ibex]

ahh ok, also note that you can only upload worlds privately as a New User, and you need to be User to submit them to community labs which is a process that has them public but they arent official until it determines it

[frosty goblet]

Ohhh that explains our issue. For some reason play mode hard freezes the unity editor so we’ve had to test in Build & Test only lately, so all our text is just stuck rendering over everything in-editor

[narrow adder]

Hi, Im new to Building worlds and I have an issue I was hoping to get help with, Im alot more familiar with blender than unity. I happened to build my world in blender but when I export it to unity and run the test world, nothing has colliders, not even the floor, how would I fix that ?

[frigid estuary]

[SDK3] My builder panel doesnt show up. What do I have to do? I'm logged in.

[forest pollen]

allright thanks, how can submit my world to the community labs?

[bold ibex]

On the upload screen in upload phase, there will be a symbol next to a check that talks about uploading to labs

idk if that even appears for new users but yeah its there

[narrow adder]

nvm, i figured it out

[forest pollen]

ok,thanks, but unity stop me with this popup before the configuration world

[bold ibex]

yeah so when you are able to upload look for that

otherwise just read the popup and read the FAQ

[forest pollen]

perfect! thank you very much !

[misty wave]

Question that is tangentialy related to VRC but I figure someone here might actually know - any tips for optimising AirLink on Quest 2? I recently got a dedicated 5ghz router to use with it but it still lags severely when anything loads

[lofty ocean]

@analog stump hey. One of the beanbag seats in your "Cozy Apartment" map is broken in a way that makes PC players invisible and unreachable to Quest players. Love your maps 👍

Also the other seat is missing.

[next fern]

could someone assist me or tell me how to make a respawn items switch?

I have snacks in my world and people always put them in hard to reach spots, so I need a respawn button

[river musk]

Whats a good fluffy carpet shader

[mild spade]

SDK2? Or udon?

[next fern]

udon I think? I'm using sdk3

or world ver of that

[mild spade]

There is a channel specifically for Udon questions. #udon-general you can try asking there. I believe all you have to do is make a Interact that calls a Network event to the owner of those objects to either Respawn the objects or teleport them far below the map to automatically respawn them (only the owner of objects can make changes to synced objects)

[next fern]

ok, thank you!

[zenith solstice]

quick question, i'm new to this, I have a few assets in my editor i'm not using on the vrchat map world itself, should i delete them before building and compiling or does the editor not include them in the file itself (the file runs fine here but i wouldn't want it to be too heavy for players with bad pcs)

[mild spade]

When the sdk builds the world it will only use the assets and their dependencies that are in the hierarchy. If you have a car model on your assets folders but you never used it on your world/scene it will ignore it when building.

[zenith solstice]

ah thank you

[torpid stratus]

trying to make a quest world with textures that have transparent features

with standard cutout it works fine but when I do vrchat mobile anything it seems to always do this

background sprites appear in front when you go to certain angles..

Is it possible to still upload quest world with basic standard shaders so I can do cutouts

[half glacier]

Hello ! I want to create a World on Oculus and I would like , using the SDK, whitelist/blacklist users access.

Is it possible ?

[quick merlin]

Yowza... I did something silly and wrong somewhere. Building and testing my world seems to work just fine. But when I build for windows the VRChatSDK crashes and is no longer accessible in unity (without a restart) and I get a long list of errors in my console. Any help pointing me in the right direction or what to specifically google would be much appreciated.

[nova locust]

Ok, I'm so frustrated. Every time I try to launch the test client from Unity, VRC would load for a second, then it would crash. Every time. I tried different projects and all the same. I checked the world debugger and found nothing wrong.

@kind leaf Do you remember our discussion?

[sturdy lynx]

I seem to have a bit of an weird issue with my world,
I will do some testing but thought I'd also post here for some tips.

After the latest SDK update, SOME (Not all) Quest 1 users have issue loading into my world,
For some of them upon joining their VRChat just closes.

Works great for Quest2, PC.
It's like 50/50 that Some Quest 1 devices work, Some Quest 1 devices crash upon joining.

For those Q1 devices that crash now upon joining, It worked fine for them before the SDK upgrade.

Anything I should check for?

[dusk sapphire]

did you take advantage of the increase in quest world size?

quest 1 only has 4gb ram compared to 6gb on the quest 2, and easily runs out of memory loading into worlds especially if its not a fresh session

[sturdy lynx]

I did increase the world size by 20 mb on Quest devices from 50 to 70 with this change.
For the Quest devices that crashes, Crashes on both new private instances, Public ones / Joining in on a friend

[dusk sapphire]

I meant fresh session as in they had just launched vrchat, rather than had been playing a while

[sturdy lynx]

Yeah for the ones that crash, It crashes in both scenarios (Freshly started VRChat / Old session)

[dusk sapphire]

the 4gb ram on the quest 1 is very limiting, its highly likely your map is consuming too much ram/vram

[sturdy lynx]

So might be related to the extension of the world towards the latest SDK update
I do have almost everything turned off upon joining,
Wonder what makes it crash for some units, not all however

Guess I gotta do a lot more testing to see an exact reason on the crash

[dusk sapphire]

just rng i guess, I've experienced the same on my quest 1

takes a few tries to load into the world after crashing

if you have a quest 1 yourself you could check to see if the logs say anything with adb catlog i guess

even if things are turned off, the client still needs to load and uncompress the asset bundle into memory

though, the client does attempt to abort the load if it sees the system running out of memory

but in some cases it runs out after the asset bundle is unpacked and the world is already loaded, and results in a crash

[sturdy lynx]

Unfortunately I do not own a quest (Neither 1/2) so can't really do any testing from my side

Any idea what could be the most heavy to make Q1 crash?

The only changes from
Pre SDK to the New SDK is;

One additional room in the world which contains baked light (No realtime), A few light probes, Other than that, Just a few walls

[dusk sapphire]

does that just contribute 20mb?

or did you change texture resolutions etc

[sturdy lynx]

Yeah it increased that much mostly due to the extra light bake and I decided to increase the resolution of the skybox

[dusk sapphire]

if i had to guess the skybox is the biggest vram cost increase

as a sanity check you could upload a test build without a skybox and see if quest 1 can load in without crashing i guess

[sturdy lynx]

Test 1 completed; Removed the new are completely from the world but kept the lighting data etc active.

That works

So something in the new area causes issues, At least that narrows it down a bit

[sturdy lynx]

Will totally try this as well

Thank you

[eternal bluff]

One dumb question

Where did you guys get your 360 panoramas from? For sky boxes obviously

[kind garden]

can anyone tell me or send me a video of how to make a avatar?

[sacred zodiac]

This always happens whenever I try to update the SDK, Is it alright to Accept it?

[near escarp]

Yes, generally good to have backups, but this is fine

[chilly hinge]

will we need to update our media players/worlds to take advantage of the new avpro 2.2.1 or the better syncing?

[frank shadow]

so, I updated the vrc sdk in my world, and now I am getting this:

anyone knows what could be up?

[dusk sapphire]

usharpvideoplayer needs to be updated as vrchat changed the executable path for youtube-dl to youtube-dlp, but otherwise it shouldn't stop you from uploading the world

[frank shadow]

ouch

[dusk sapphire]

this only affects the unity editor, your videos will still play fine in game

[frank shadow]

makes it impossible to test, meh

ill try to fix it myself I guess

[dusk sapphire]

yeah its an easy fix

https://github.com/MerlinVR/USharpVideo/blob/master/Assets/USharpVideo/Scripts/Editor/EditorURLResolverShim.cs#L30

[frank shadow]

thanks!

hmm, no change

tried to do
"\\VRChat\\VRChat\\Tools\\youtube-dlp.exe";

[dusk sapphire]

it should be yt-dlp.exe

[frank shadow]

works!

many thanks!

[nova locust]

Pushing this again cuz I'm still having the issue

#world-development message

[fast python]

Is it possible to change gravity?

[quasi lodge]

Im experiencing something I have never experienced, and it is throwing no errors.
When building the world, the New World Creation page opens, and is unresponsive entirely. it is also not pulling the info from the world that is already uploaded as you would expect

[near escarp]

console errors ?

[quasi lodge]

couple odd Udon esceptions on GetBonePosition, IsUserInVr and get_DisplayName, which is odd because I did not touch anything with udon between last and current build

[near escarp]

Fixing any error will solve your problem

[quasi lodge]

Well then not sure how to fix it as I have not changed anything but ill look into whats going on somewhere else

It was a simple click needed on the console "Error Pause" was enabled somehow when it shouldnt have been

[storm dune]

Hello! Is there a way to put a button in a world and have the creator of the world be contacted by the people in the world? Through email or discord?

No idea?

Anyone heard about that?

[umbral dune]

vrchat darkrp please

I've been thinking about it for about 10 minutes now and that would be the best shit

[bold ibex]

I dont even know what that is besides gmod roleplay but thats great

[umbral dune]

It's got stuff like really basic base building - job system

basically ends up with people sitting in the sewers printing money and cops trying to just murder everyone

I have wasted so many hours of my life playing it

[jaunty bridge]

can someone help me out, im a beginner to world creation and im struggling how to set the spawn point in the world could someone help me out

[near escarp]

VRCWorld prefab is the spawn point by default

Or you can manually add a spawn in the world descriptor component of the VRCWorld object

Spawn can be an empty object, its location in 3D space is where the spawn position will be

[jaunty bridge]

ty

[jaunty bridge]

i ran into a second problem i uploaded the world and i load into it and it doesn't put me into the world

it just puts me back into my home world

[kind leaf]

Assuming you have no errors make sure you have a collider under that spawnpoint 🙂

[jaunty bridge]

ok

[misty wave]

Question - how painful in terms of performance would it be to essentially...

Using Udon, create an "individually addressable LED strip" system - dynamically control 25-200 individual light points with Udon?

I assume the dynamic lights would be... stressful on the system

Would it be any better if they were emissive? Is there any performant way to do this?

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/AcChosen/VR-Stage-Lighting

and yeah that would be very bad going with 200-point lights as that would basically make your map 200 times more expensive to render

[jaunty bridge]

I’m still having problems now I go to click upload and nothing happens I just get an error at the bottom

[misty wave]

Yeah it would be intensive ;-; thank you for the link!! I've seen that and def wanna use it but for this I'm hoping to specifically replicate individually addressable LEDs

[green lagoon]

maybe would be able to replicate that look with the shaders I posted?

[topaz bridge]

made a private avatar world just to store some and for some reason like my gf cant click on them? She is a user and my friend who is a known does not have any problems. I have made no such thing as a white list or did I change the script. Simply just placed the pedestal and place the BPID

[misty wave]

It's not for the look unfortunately, or else that would be ideal
I'm wanting to simulate some physical stage props I want to program in real life, but I want to visualise them

[kind leaf]

is the avatar Quest or PC or both? Is your GF Quest or PC? The only thing I can think of that would stop a player from using an avatar is their platform.

[topaz bridge]

world is quest and pc but i am on quest and i am on quest and so is she

her rank is user and mine is known

[kind leaf]

user rank has nothing to do with the ability to use an avatar. Nore does the world platform. Unless vrc changed that recently However, if you are trying to share a Quest avatar with someone on PC they cannot click it. or the opposite. A PC avatar cannot be shared with a Quest user.

if your shared avatars say they are both quest and pc then you shouldn't have a problem sharing

[dusk sapphire]

It actually does to an extent, visitors cannot use avatar pedestals in private worlds

though if she is a user rank, this shouldn't be an issue

[kind leaf]

Thats interesting. I wonder why... A visitor would only be in a private world if invited. So I don't comprehend the restriction 😛

[wraith cipher]

I tried to import a FBX from blender. This image is what I got.

any way to duplicate the house around the plane and have it standing vertical and at random rotations from blender?

[dusk sapphire]

the same reason visitors cannot upload avatars, part of the idea is to prevent a malicious actor who got banned to quickly make a new account and reupload say a malicious avatar. this prevents them from having say, another account with a private avatar world with those avatars that they can quickly invite the new account to to requip them.

[kind leaf]

ic ty that makes sense.

[dusk sapphire]

is the house part of the mesh with the plane? if so you're going to have to work on it in blender rather than unity

[kind leaf]

or probuilderize it but judging by the deformations thats not going to go well

[lunar sonnet]

I'm still having trouble making my sky box rotate like a suddle rotation

[kind leaf]

was an fbx with all the objects separate, the conversions of the rotations were just backwards as is typical with blender.

[kind leaf]

setup you scene with a directional light, assign that directional light to the Light Settings as sun. If you are going for optimal, make sure the directional light is set to nothing in the culling. Create a sphere the size of your terrain/scene. drag n drop the light into the sphere and center it. position it to the outside edge. remove the mesh renderer from the sphere . Animate or script the movement of the sphere . This method works with procedural skyboxes.

[lunar sonnet]

Thanks I'll try it in the morning, I'm mad tired rn so I'm heading to bed see ya

[kind leaf]

gn and gl

[halcyon snow]

bro i was looking for something like this

i do stage / DJ lighting as a side gig irl and i wanted to do some in vrc ngl

[misty wave]

Honestly there's a huge market for it

[kind leaf]

for pc. AL isnt supported on quest * I guess the market is there for quest as well until they realize its an instant CTD

[royal jay]

Is culling a thing in vrcsdk? (Please ping, I am in general chat)

[near escarp]

Can you be a bit more specific ?

[royal jay]

For a very large world occlusion culling would be needed to maintain proper framerate. Would that be possible?

[near escarp]

Yeah of course

[royal jay]

Huh, Oasis project is back on the vrchat menu

Thank you

[halcyon snow]

I did lighting design for 3 years before I moved on to university and I kinda want to some more of it but can't find a theater to hire me out part time so I have not done it since COVID started. But I hopefully do it with this prefab. Go design a small show lol.

Can't wait to see what I can do

[frank shadow]

this has been plaguing me for a while now, is there any fix for it or is the message bogus and I can ignore it? This is with USharpVideo

using Auto Fix doesn't really do anything, message goes away, but it back when I reopen the upload panel

[bold ibex]

what on earth is causing this hole

im just trying to fill vertices

[bold ibex]

oki nvm i found a work around by splitting it into 2 seperate objects to avoid all the wierd lighting / shading issues

[stone marsh]

It's telling you that auto resync is disabled. This is a feature that can be enabled on the script. This resyncs the audio with the video for the player if it becomes desynced in times of large lag. This error may pop up on some players as some players control syncing differently. You can typically ignore this for most use cases if you're using something like usharp player or ProTV or something. You can fix it so the error doesn't show, but it may not actually be ideal for some players and use cases and is more useful for those who are setting up basic players themselves using the included AVPro/Unity player scripts where this resync option exists without having a script to manage things.

you should consider using something newer too, like ProTV (Free on Booth) or Video TXL (Github). ProTV is prob one of the most feature rich and actively developed players. USharp player hasn't been updated in half a year and has seeking issues and some playback issues.

https://booth.pm/en/items/2536209

[frank shadow]

hmm

[silent furnace]

I'm having some issues with proximity with grabbable objects...specifically UI sliders, and objects you can grab that have control buttons on them like a remote. No matter what you set the proximity to, it's way too sensitive, so when a player tries to use another object such as a button near a slider, it will only let you touch the slider (even when proximity is set to ZERO) is this a bug in the SDK? This has only been a problem recently.

[marble swallow]

any reason why your newly published world would immediately send you home?

[bold ibex]

how many polys can i have without the game being screwey?

cause 1 tree is 8k polys

[silent furnace]

I'm not an expert on it, but high res textures are probably going to have more of an effect in your world on performance than the number of polys. The more textures it has to render the slower it gets.

[bold ibex]

this is my first vrchat world

[short gulch]

Oh God lol. It's like in old source engine games when you leave the skybox

[topaz bridge]

well see their is a problem the world and all the avatars are quest compatibly and I had 2 friends try it, their were both quest and one was know and the other, (my gf) one of them were known and it worked for him and the other my gf was a girl and she had the problem. Also just had one of my pc friends join (desktop) so i could show him my world but he could not click on anything either. I tried on my pc (desktop as well) and I had no issues so idk anymore. I tried to google it but no one has ever had this problem.

[graceful meteor]

yes and since its so damn low res + low poly you may just want to do it yourself in Blender

[thorn latch]

So when I bake using bakery, the world debugger window still says that I have 73 unbaked lights that will act as realtime lights. I have realtime GI turned off in lighting settings, and everything looks ok in game, so can I just ignore that message? I'm guessing its referring to the Unity light components that I have toggled off.

[kind leaf]

To bake bakery lights, the light component needs deactivated.

[nova locust]

I’m really frustrated right now. The last few days, I couldn’t run the test client from Unity. Every time it starts to load, it crashes. Here’s the only error logs. I ran the world debugger and found nothing as well.

I already asked this question a few times and nobody could help

[river musk]

a lil preview of one of the rooms

[near escarp]

You got baked lighting ?

[south orbit]

working on it XD

[bold ibex]

does anyone know how to make objects wit VRC_Pickup on them fall and follow a trajectory like if the gravity was on the moon

the world is entirely underwater so it needs to be somewhat more believeable

or maybe you may know an even better way to simulate objects being thrown through water

[bold ibex]

how many polys would crash someone

my world is for a crappy school project so

i just want it to work

[desert python]

depends but 4 mil for the lowest possible specs i can think of

[desert python]

ive done a lot of stupid physics stuff and i think the best thing you can do is when an object collider is in a water layer. so like “if (collision.gameobject.layer == water)” and when that happens. set gravity to a lower value. but also do a negative addForce equating to inertia. that is the simplest and easy to keep optimized way i can think of for doing water projectory bouyancy

but if you want to get crazy. you would want some friction and bouyancy setup

[bold ibex]

im on it then

[desert python]

keep in mind that you could also mess with angular drag and mass without event coding

[bold ibex]

wait how do you set gravity lower

CODING??

NOO

[thorn latch]

I've dpne that but it still shows the error

[stone marsh]

You can set a volume in the water to adjust the drag of objects that enter it so they fall slower. Drag affects the speed a kinematic object moves. This would leave world gravity alone while giving the illusion of an object falling through a volume of water. Adjusting the gravity of the world will change all pickups and player, but yes, this can be done using UDON (there is world gravity and player mod gravity, first affects everything and all rigidbodies, second only affects player) For a volume to adjust drag, set your pickups to a custom layer and have the volume detect on layer enter and set the drag of the rigidbody and on exit set back to normal.

[bold ibex]

Im having a problem with making pick up items i watched several totorials did exactally what they said and it just wont pick up the object but it will pick up the collider in the test world https://gyazo.com/7a69f2a8542ecb428325282f67a29859 any idea what ive done wrong? i uploaded a blend file not fbx and i unpacked all the stuff cause it was locked in the heirarchy help plz

it just keeps the ice cream there still and the invisable collider moveable

[bold ibex]

for quest?

my worlds 250k polys would it lag people at that

[near escarp]

no

[stone marsh]

Poly count rarely has a dramatic impact on performance at lower numbers for PC. Draw calls tend to have a larger impact. Focus on reducing draw calls in all areas of your world. A lobby full of avatars can easily be north of a million poly. What kills is excessive draw calls tanking people's frame times.

[desert python]

im going off of specs from the iphone 4, it takes loading a 4 mil poligon model before it croaks completely

[bold ibex]

jez

[desert python]

it would take billions to take out even the most generic pc

[bold ibex]

idk im not used to using blender yet alone world creation im just nervous about stuff running properly

its good you actually worry about performance!

i was on a quest 2 for ages i dont care how many pc players tell me to forget them i dont wanna because ultimatley im just a quest 2 player in disguise

[desert python]

oh ye but then thats a different optimization scope

[bold ibex]

?

idk im new to world creation

[desert python]

ic

you will eventually learn how. theres many things to learn that i cant really sum up all that well'

[bold ibex]

does polygon count or anything in the blender process matter?

[desert python]

material count and zfighting is the usual thing to worry about

[bold ibex]

oh

im just planning to use a few materials to colour everything

just greens and browns really

if you have solid colors, you can make a very low res image with 16x16 cubes of those colors; the UV mapping of the faces u want to be of that color should be scaled down and put over the right colorcube

to do UV mapping stuff youd use Blender or something similar

[mild spade]

Is your object set to static by any chance?

[slate haven]

Hi! Im trying to add a billiard to my world but dont show up the billiard prefab

I look for the prefab on internet but the two prefab that i found show the same error something like system.io.error

[stone marsh]

Here ya go. https://github.com/VRCBilliards/vrcbce

[kind leaf]

lol i read billboards

[slate haven]

Tanhks

still showing thise

[wraith cipher]

thanks for the advice. I was able to solve it with help by changing that Transform values (Scale and Rotation) for the duplicates.

[kind leaf]

the io error is probably not associated with the billiards asset itself. Is that your only error?

[wraith cipher]

looks good. did you make those assets yourself?

[stone marsh]

If you have errors in your project you need to go to the console tab, clear the errors, and attempt to enter play mode. If it fails to enter play mode, look at the errors in the console again and screenshot ALL of the red stop sign errors. Nothing else matters. If you have no errors and can enter play, just try uploading.

Also do you have Usharp Installed? I can see part of your asset folder in that screen but don't see Usharp. Ensure you have all the needed prerequisites for the assets you're using and that they are added in correct order.

https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp

[stone marsh]

If they don't move, ensure you mark them as static so they can batch since they look like duplicates and I see they aren't marked in that screen.

[rugged rock]

how do u make a world

[wraith cipher]

either ProBuilder asset (Unity) or learning Blender and then exporting from blender to unity (.fbx)

[urban epoch]

If you put the VRCWorld prefab into your Unity scene you've technically met minimum requirements.

[green lagoon]

yeah but you can't do much if you don't have a floor

[urban epoch]

True, that is also a literal requirement I believe now, so if you put just like anything in there like a box or plane you've done it.

dope what class for?

[bold ibex]

It's for a btec project

We got to choose our own art stuff to work I wanted to do something in VrChat because I thought it would be a funny excuse to put a headset on a teachers head

wats da difference between the avpro and the unity vid player?

ew udon graph

why udon graph be so complicated

[vale sinew]

So, I'm working on a world build, and when I went in to test it, the build is flying into the air over and over. This was not what I was intending. Could anyone tell me why it did that and what I can do to stop it from flying.

Current floor plan I'm still working on it

What it's doing, and it keeps getting faster the longer I stay in the 'test build'

[ruby jay]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/video-players

[vale sinew]

Just goes up XD

[mild spade]

Actually, you are going down, and respawning, not the map lol

[ruby jay]

add colliders to your world

[vale sinew]

ohhhhhh

Soo, add a collider to my floor?

That was strange, it didn't show having to make a collider for the floor in the video guide

Ohhhh

There is a box collider on the object, it just didn't follow the size of the object!

Thank you!

[ruby jay]

glad you fixed it

i recommend https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu/ for fast testing for simple things within unity without having to build, which can take more and more time

[vale sinew]

No I'm still falling...

maybe I put my spawn outside the build

Ahh I did!

Somehow my spawn ended up under the build

Thank you for the link as well

[ruby jay]

you are welcome, sometimes the gizmo can be hard to predict in terms of where you put things in 3d

[bold ibex]

I'm not sure where else to put this so I'll leave it here for now, and I apologize if this has already been mentioned. The new camera doesn't take very kindly to AO in Unity's Post Processing Stack. Prior to this update, the AO would appear just fine in photos. Now, whether camera focus is on or off, the AO is completely misplaced

[tight forge]

hello

I have an issue where walking irl doesn't translate well to the ingame map

I made a model of my room and, even though blender and unity are both set to meters, and the room measurements are correct

moving irl doesn't move me the same distance in game

I tried resizing the map, but even when it looked extremely small, it still wasn't enough

I still couldn't get close to the walls before getting to the ones ingame

[stone marsh]

Shouldn't really use AO from post processing in VR it's absolutely aids. Always bake your AO into the textures.

Regardless, this is indeed a bug that affects depth effects with the new camera. AO isn't the only thing affected, anything that uses depth is. It seems to layer your view with the cameras view.

[bold ibex]

Me nor my friends have ever personally had any issues with the AO post processing in VR. It's worked great in my worlds. Doing a quick search brings me to a Reddit post encountering the same issue from last year. I can only assume older code is being reused and tested with this new camera. There was definitely a point between these where nothing was wrong

[stone marsh]

PP AO has always been broken in VR, it just may not immediately be obvious depending on world setup and if you know what to look for or if testing in VR vs desktop

The camera issue most likely stems from a bug with the current camera however, but that's speculation as depth effects are indeed broken with current cam

AO will render over objects, mirrors, players, etc

Give a ghosting effect. It really shouldn't be used

Baking AO into textures is the way to go for performance and visuals

Would also solve your issue entirely

[bold ibex]

From what I've experienced it's shader-specific. Certain unlit shaders have that ghosting effect. As for things like mirrors, an easy fix I use is scaling a plane directly behind the mirror. It blocks the AO from rendering through. Thank you for the advice though. I'll try baking it

[stone marsh]

Most likely because those shaders aren't writing to depth so it can't draw AO.

Really lots of reasons not to use PP AO. Good luck

[nimble cedar]

Heya fellas, do we know if Shadergraphs work with our version of Unity for VRC?

[green lagoon]

nope and unlikely to ever work as vrchat uses the built-in pipeline not Universal render pipeline

[nimble cedar]

Well shoot

Anybody know of a lava shader around?

[desert python]

rollthered has one somewhere

[thorn latch]

Anyone have any good resources for learning Udon? Like is there a wiki for it or some kind of in depth documentation

Nevermind, I'm blind apparently

[near escarp]

Can you show your camera settings in unity

[lyric acorn]

‘Clear flags’ setting on camera element , change to skybox or color, you can use the example scene in the sdk for an example of what it uses

[thorn latch]

So on Udon my mirror has stuff flicker in and out of existence, despite my turning off the mirror occlusion in the settings. Anyone know why it may be doing this?

[stone marsh]

Just to make sure, By turning off, you mean the Culling check box is checked correct?

[stray forge]

I had an idea for a world but I don't know if it already exists. A rave/party venue with a shitton of different effects and features, stuff like lasers and fog and all of that but also a bunch of stuff that could only be done virtually. Performers could import custom scripts that would allow them to work with the world in the form of visualizers, scripted sequences, and other stuff of that sort. If this is already a thing please direct me to it, if not I'm thinking of getting a team together to work on this..

[thorn latch]

Correct, although it appears at somepoint that box was unchecked again. Building now to see if the issue is fixed

[thorn latch]

The first half does exist, the second part about script importing and such has not to my knowledge though.

[stone marsh]

Nigh clubs with DMX lighting support, well, DMX lighting via livestream or video feeds to host events.

A few also have a system that allows you to copy a DJ into every instance using shaders so the DJ's movement is synced across all instances

[stray forge]

that's sick

Anyone know why the video player can't play youtube videos in CyanEmu? Is there a way around it? I know that's "how it works" but -- why? because YouTube DL isn't available or smth?

How do I make a pickup object drop when picked up?

[misty wave]

Is there a straightforward way to make a UI slider control a shader's colour or am I gonna be using U#?

[silent furnace]

I am running into an issue with pickup objects, where the proximity settings in the SDK appear to be getting ignored. I have it set to .035, and the object (a slider knob) is still way too sensitive, and prevents use of other buttons next to it. I also have an audiolink controller, and the handle is causing the same issue, so you can't use the controls unless you are hanging on to the thing. Has anyone else had this problem? It's only started since the last SDK update...

[silent furnace]

If you find an easy way to do it, please post it here as that's something I'd also like to be able to do (or even a light color for that matter)

[silent furnace]

Note there is a new version coming (currently in testing) that has some nice updates

[silent furnace]

Take a look at Club Orion

[misty wave]

I actually got it going! 😄

[kind leaf]

The behavior you are looking for is SetColor if that doesn't popup in the search when using udon then yes, U# is your option. Material.SetColor(string name, Color value). So .Material.Setcolor("_Color",Sildier.Value); although you are also going to need to use HSV to define the color via the slider or create a list so if the slider.value = a number, that number = a color [if (slider.Value == 1 ){Color = color.red}]

[wild knoll]

can quest users see post-processing?

[near escarp]

nope

[wild knoll]

nice

dont have to worry then xD

[stable crater]

is there an addon for blender/unity that makes world crewation in blender fast/easy to test in unity/vrchat, I have a quite big world with many things that have to be setup like colliders, for unreal engine you can name the object in blender a collider and then a collider gets applied to it in unreal, is there something similar I can do with blender/unity with or without addons?

[ruby jay]

try https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu/

but what you refer to i don't really know anything like that

if you add colliders to an fbx in unity and you update the fbx, they will remain if the hierarchy stays the same

[stable crater]

I use that already but bringing my blender stuff into unity is a pain, I need something that makes it easier

There are too many changes because the world is at the beginning of its development and unity messes it up everytime

[kind leaf]

Software does as it is told. Unity and Blender are backwards so you have to export with that in mind. There are plenty of documents and videos that will show/tell you the proper way to export to Unity while keeping the desired transforms.

[torpid holly]

Two questions for all y'all: #1: Do most of you first develop your world for windows, publish, then when everything works right, clone it and convert to Android and start optimizing? #2: Where can i find learn what the audio limitations are for worlds? I'm specifically interested in layering multiple sound sources and synchronizing them, wondering how timing survives in VRC.

[dusk sapphire]

Good article on audio sources in terms of optimization for performance, especially for quest: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/unity-audio-import-optimisation---getting-more-bam-for-your-ram

to answer your first question, If I know I was going to make something cross-platform, I'd take it into account when building the world, rather than just optimizing it for quest after the fact.

[kind leaf]

Thats how I started doing it after the first couple. Just having to press Switch and then reupload is a huge time saver. And Switching platforms speeds up after the first switch, takes a few seconds after the initial switch.

[stable crater]

Can I do interractable cloth for vrchat? with the cloth component or maybe dynamic bones, will they work with the player?

[kind leaf]

if you assign a collider to follow the players hand. there are prefabs to help with that

[stable crater]

can you send me the prefab please?

[stable crater]

It's not about the transofrms, I need it for the components

[kind leaf]

vrcprefabs.com/browse or booth for prefabs.

the components? like the colliders?

[stable crater]

I tried booth already but I can't speak japanese and there's mostly stuff for avatars

[stable crater]

yes

[stable crater]

I can't find it at vrcprefabs either

[kind leaf]

when you import the import settings have a toggle to autogenerate colliders. Make sure you are going through the import process and not just drag n dropping. But the meshes can all be assigned colliders with ease already, simple geometry gets a box colliders, complex gets a mesh.

some things you typically dont ant to have colliders, like stairs. Stair colliders are shit, no one likes a bouncy cam. For stairs you have to get creative and make a ramp and hide the renderer.

[stable crater]

I do the colliders by myself because my world is very complex and stairs without a flat collider are awful

[stable crater]

yeah, I have seperate colliders in blender and in unity I disable the mesh renderer and add a mesh colider on the objects

[kind leaf]

VRCPrefabs.com/Browse : SoccerBox(modify the script slightly, change the knee bones to hand bones), Attach-To_Me, stuff like that is what you are looking for for interactions. You can look at those scripts if you need something specific and can't find it.

[stable crater]

great, thank you

[peak flicker]

How might I update my world? I just uploaded my first world and noticed that an object was clipping a bit and I've fixed it but I'm not sure how to update the world itself. In the docs on world creation, it says that I have to "Just push an update" and it will do it automatically, but I'm not sure how to "push an update" exactly

[stone marsh]

The exact same way you uploaded your world. You simply upload it again. Any time you do the upload process the world will be "updated", anyone in an active instance, would just have to rejoin to get the update.

[peak flicker]

Oh so it won't upload as a second world?

Uploading a second world would be done through another Unity project then, I assume, is that right?

[left raven]

any one have a playing card prefab?

[stone marsh]

You'd have to just give it a new World ID. Anytime you upload with no World ID Attached, it will go through the new world upload. If a World ID is present, it will update that ID

[peak flicker]

Is that the blueprint ID thingy?

[stone marsh]

👍

[peak flicker]

Ohhhhhh, sicc!

Thank you for the help! :)

[left raven]

so how about that playing card prefab any one got one that i could borrow?

[marble swallow]

Ok so quick question, when i update my world and its cross compatible do i need to update both versions?

[near escarp]

yes

[marble swallow]

Okie, ty!!

[marble swallow]

If u find one pls let me know bc i need one too!!

[left raven]

yea will do

[marble swallow]

I have one its just that the reset button doesnt work

I am having an issue with MongoError: E11000 duplicate key error collection: vrchat.World index:_id_deup key: _ How do i resolve this issue?

[unkempt mauve]

How do I make a pickup object drop when picked up?

[bold ibex]

does anyone have any good world shaders for good shadows cause this toon shaders not good and no idea what to google cause its just called shader and shader means everything

[green lagoon]

do you have a picture of what's wrong with your shadows

and what toon Shader are using in particular

[bold ibex]

the toon shader shows no shadows or light projection its toon lit

[green lagoon]

yeah but it doesn't tell me what it's called

[bold ibex]

toon lit

[green lagoon]

as there is a great multitude of toon shaders

yeah that's not supposed to have shadows on it vrchat toon lit

as it's intended for like mobile class avatars

[bold ibex]

yeah

[green lagoon]

so not a good choice for a world Shader

[bold ibex]

you know any good shaders to google?

[green lagoon]

I suppose you could try the Poiyomi Toon Shader but honestly I've hardly seen anyone use a toon Shader on a world

not even any of the Japanese user base

[bold ibex]

im not spcificly wanting to use a toon shader just trying to find one that dosent look bad

and i dont know what to google to find that

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/poiyomi/PoiyomiToonShader

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/SCSS I've also seen this one recommended decently often

[bold ibex]

thank you

these work with quest?

[green lagoon]

not on avatars

as you can only use the provided shaders on Quest avatars

and I probably wouldn't recommend either of them on World's especially not Quest

[bold ibex]

no for quest world

im makign a quest world

[green lagoon]

okay I just keep bringing it up because we're in the world development Channel

[bold ibex]

yeah im making a world

for quest

[green lagoon]

I probably use the standard light Shader for worlds on Quest

[bold ibex]

it made the world super dark when i used that

[green lagoon]

that's because you need to set up your lighting

and probably a bad idea to try to patch that by using a toon Shader

[bold ibex]

i did it was normal on a diffrent shader then super dark on that one

just do super intensity o somthing

or

[green lagoon]

what was the other Shader you were you as the standard shaders are the ground truth as far as how the lighting is

[bold ibex]

think it was just the default one thats set in the world automaticly idk this is my 4th day on unity

[green lagoon]

materials by default when you generate are the standard Shader

[bold ibex]

yeah that one

the lighting looked good on that

[green lagoon]

yes as that's the material the lighting system is setup for whereas various random shaders which might intentionally break the lighting for their aesthetic purposes

[bold ibex]

o one more question do you know how to make the lighting not effect the player in vr chat i unchecked player and player local in teh layers on each light and still the avatars super bright

[green lagoon]

I wouldn't recommend turning off Lighting on the avatars

and depending on the avatars they might essentially have lighting turned off by themselves

[bold ibex]

all my avatars are bright as a star

[green lagoon]

what are you using for your avatars

[bold ibex]

just others avatars

not mine

[green lagoon]

if they're anime style they may have the lighting literally turned off on themselves so they're going to Fulbright no matter what

[bold ibex]

in other worlds there normal

mine super bright

[green lagoon]

okay then that might be something with your lighting

[bold ibex]

any idea how to stop that

[green lagoon]

as I don't have any screenshots of your lighting setup I have no clue what's wrong and I also have no clue what those avatars are using for their shaders

[bold ibex]

https://gyazo.com/f46db9d8823bbbd739308db21ccbead0

[green lagoon]

do you have any light probes

as you kind of need those if you're doing baked lighting

[bold ibex]

https://gyazo.com/0304f059da5c44087c7276063920140c

[green lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKgUJccjWRU

light probes are not part of the lighting settings tab their objects you place in the world

I recommend giving this video a go

[bold ibex]

ok

[green lagoon]

basically at the moment you have the lighting baked to the world but not the avatars as they sample the lighting off of the light probes

as light Maps tell the surfaces how the be light up but not the air where the avatars are

[bold ibex]

so when bake lighting correctly i can delete the lights and it will stay on the objects textures right?

[green lagoon]

yes but it would be a good idea to keep the lights for next time you want to bake the lighting

[bold ibex]

yeah

id just hide them

thank you for the help

[green lagoon]

yes that would work and hopefully the light probes help

[bold ibex]

ok cool

o should i switch all my lights to baked mode?

[green lagoon]

yeah

[south orbit]

Hi is a bit specific question related to unity more in a general than world creation tho i use it for world creation but maybe someone knows..

• So i am making a new 3.0 world with 2019x verison everythings good imported all things i need,
  i usually work with Probuilder + ProGrids however i cannot seem to find Pro Grids anymore for some reason not sure why

its like gone from the registry itself somehow ?

• what is odd is that i have another world with exact same import and 3.0 tho is another project already partially built, and it has grids in it and able to find it from the package manager.

[lime pasture]

Does anyone have any good video players that you can use ingame keyboard & to stop & play videos like for youtube for sdk 3?

[topaz basin]

Idk. Maybe ProTV. But for some reasons it does not work for me. I am working on a world right now. The video player were working in my world. And suddenly it is not working anymore. I can't type a URL. I've tried so many video players. So strange

[marble swallow]

Same here!!

[topaz basin]

Really? I don't got the latest version of sdk world. 1 version older, but it still worked. Same with UdonSharp. I don't think that any of my assets are causing that problem. It's so strange

[marble swallow]

Yeah none of mine are causing the issue, it quite literally stopped working out of nowhere. Cant type or add links whatsoever

[south orbit]

i used one called wolfe video player (: seem to work just fine

[kind leaf]

Any player with a vrc url input component is going to accept keyboard input, and any prefabed video player is going to have play and pause. ^ Wolfe is my choice as well.

[marble swallow]

I tried that one but it always gives me an error and breaks everything in my scene

And it never allows me to build to test it

[kind leaf]

yeah, making sure you follow the directions is key

[south orbit]

sounds rather like something is wrong with ur scene rather than the component then ? i mean

i simply just import it, drag it into my scene, place it where i want, and it works

[marble swallow]

I have no idea, am noob at unity and building LOL

[kind leaf]

Wolfe and proTV require Udonsharp to function

[marble swallow]

I have that

[south orbit]

ah yeah that is true, udonsharp is required ofcourse

so are u using sdk 3.0 ?

[marble swallow]

Yes

[south orbit]

so my suggestion is u can try, make a new project, 2019 version then import 3.0 worlds and udonsharp, then wolfe player

test that world, use vrcworld for spawn

if it works, u know its not the wolfe player, tho again it shouldnt be i mean i literally published a world 1-2 days ago with it

[marble swallow]

Ye ye

[kind leaf]

did you happen to notice that the avpro component no longer has the auto sync check box?

[south orbit]

yeah well

i had a friend who reminded me that rly tho i cant rmber which one of them i used actually lol

oh u mean automatic resync ?

[kind leaf]

ye

[south orbit]

well i dont even have that checked in my world, i have it open in my project tab right now

and it works fine without

i even have a video playing on load in

[kind leaf]

yeah its broken. I think vrc did a ninja patch on the avpro without telling us in the last sdk release. I always leave mine off as well.

[south orbit]

oh actually i do have it checked im dum, im checking the prefab itself and not from the scene lol

but i see yeh i manually checked it

[kind leaf]

newest sdk?

[south orbit]

should be

[kind leaf]

VRCSDK3-WORLD-2021.11.08.14.28_Public

[south orbit]

oh noes lol, well

how exactly do i adjust that

just del the sdk3 content

and re import ?

[kind leaf]

no

just import the new over top

[south orbit]

i see sweet

[kind leaf]

sharp wasnt updated with this last sdk so everythign else should be goood

[south orbit]

i check quite often i felt i checked recently too so appreciate it

thats wild cus i was using that version for alot of udonsharp stuff

like qvpens, pool tables, video player

all worked lol

[kind leaf]

yeah, it would only break if we had a major update.

[south orbit]

i see yeah, well appreciate it tho rather safe than sry and up to date for sure, maybe it also explains my earlier issue which i cant see to get a respond on anywhere lol

or well maybe it dont :p but ye

basicly i cant locate my progrids in new projects i make

[kind leaf]

You made sure to import progrids into that project right? Its not a default asset so it needs reimported to each project.

If you downloaded it before you can find it in the MyAssets tab of the package manager or on the Assetstore

[south orbit]

well progrids isnt rly imported l ike that

yeah well normally its built in the package manger unity registry

and it shows on my previous worlds, but if i make a new it does not

[kind leaf]

never used it, just read an article about it by unity for this year. worth a check 🙂

[south orbit]

u can see here new project with sdk and all the stuff

exactly like as if it was my old / other project

[kind leaf]

The packet Manager is going to get really freaky and behave oddly. New versions of Unity integrating it further so I expect. I already cant click "my assets" from the asset store tab, I have to click my assets from the package manager lol

[south orbit]

here exact same version and everything

yeah well its just like its gone from the package manager in any new project forwardly lol

[kind leaf]

your list is really small, I have like a 100 packages that show on my end

[south orbit]

cus i typed in the search bar in right side ''pro''

[kind leaf]

oh lol

duh

[south orbit]

;p

[kind leaf]

ima check mine

[south orbit]

i love progrids and probuilder, but using probuilder without progrids is kinda meh since u cant use specific meassurements kinda when extruding and such

i mean u prob can in some way or form that i dont know but ye progrids makes it very simple and easy on that point aswell as on / off and so on

[kind leaf]

If you switch to text instead of icons you can use the + button to put in exact measurements well in the form of unity units. And i just use V to snap.

[south orbit]

yeah but how do u extrude tho

do u do it by text ?

i use my mouse to drag it out, and thats where it becomes handy

cus progrids a llows me to toggle on / off in specific numbers how much i wanna extrude out or not by 1-10 drags etc

[kind leaf]

no, it is still a button just with a the text "extrude" instead of an icon. easier to read 😛

[south orbit]

and if off then i just drag it without like steps

yeah i dont use a button to extrude tho :p

i use shift and mouse

i pick a side like this example

hold shift and drag in blue arrow

and i extrude it out like that

[kind leaf]

yeah that works, more like blender

[south orbit]

yeah people often say why am i not using blender but i hate the camera stuff in that :p so i basicly do all my blender stuff in unity lol

[kind leaf]

Package Manager > Advanced > Show Preview Packages

same, movement in Blender blows chunks

[south orbit]

finally lol

why is that even a thing

thanks a bunch

[kind leaf]

it's not officially stable enough to be a full feature. It will make it to the normal registry in time. A minor persistent bug could be why it is still there. ProGrids was created as a small tool for the Snaps Assets

[south orbit]

i mean i did this beforehand but its like such a small step its so easy to forget

ah i see yeah makes sense then

[rough abyss]

did vrc support LWRP?

[long jewel]

Is there quest exclusive worlds that PC players can't join? Or can they still join those worlds that just have "quest" in the corner

[bold ibex]

There are Quest only worlds that exist just like PC only ones; PC users can't magically join Quest only worlds because they are only built to Android arch

Although if there was some weird emulator thingy a computer could probably handle it to access Android/Quest worlds but that isnt a thing officially at least for VRC

[long jewel]

I see

[kind leaf]

vrc only supports the built-in render pipeline.

[atomic patio]

What method would be best to find and remove unused assets?

[gentle cove]

need help with importing, am i on the wrong version?

i also have a problem with udon.graph.dll

[pearl scarab]

Anyone know where to find the super fancy beer pong prefab? The one with the different game modes and stuff?

[bold ibex]

yea you need 2019.4.31

VRCSDK breaks in other versions it wasn't built for

even if you use a new VRCSDK, it will break in older previously supported VRC Unity LTS(s) and vice versa

[gentle cove]

thanks man

[bold ibex]

np

[gentle cove]

okay, i downgraded unity versions and that seems to have fixed the problem!

once again thank you

What would be the best way to simulate grass for a world? I am considering buying a shader that can do it instead of like making flat images of grass that can follow you https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/brute-force-grass-shader-192388

I don't mind if it is performance heavy as the world will have very few people in it at one time

[kind leaf]

This is the DirectX 11 Grass Shader functioning in vrc. Doubt it works on android though.

quality could be improved, I just used the prefab in the package to see if it even worked in vrc.

[quasi tusk]

is there an up to date video player I can use for vrchat that uses URL?

[kind leaf]

[bold ibex]

id want to test it on my poor quest for the hell of it hah

[kind leaf]

ill upload for quest and send you the private link that way you dont have to waste monies lol. give me a few mins

[bold ibex]

oh perfect

wait how would I join a private link on standalone quest

do u have the ability to make a publish to community labs

[kind leaf]

yeah, just not a fan of uploading test content publicly lol. but ill get it up 😉

[bold ibex]

OOO

[kind leaf]

converting now but I didnt use a fresh project to test so it might be 45min-ish

[bold ibex]

dont worry i got time

[split parcel]

i dont know if im supposed to ask a question like this here, but here i go: Whenever I try to test my vrc world, it does not not open vrchat, but opens a window that says i need an app to open a vrchat link, how can i fix this?

[gentle cove]

making an irl rollercoaster in vrchat

if people play it

i am very sorry if you get sick

[quasi tusk]

its fine, got over my motion sickness from the amusement park in 2018 lol

mostly

[bold ibex]

Ensure that the VRChat Client Path in the VRChat Control Panel actually leads to the VRChat.exe

also whatever prompts it gives you, go through them and say "yes" "ok" or the equvalents of

for um the windows that says I need an app to open a vrchat link

also if you coul send a screencap of this prompt it would help more

[split parcel]

AH, thank you!

It worked

[bold ibex]

pog

[kind leaf]

public Cl is Quest DX11 Grass Test (by KevBal)

[bold ibex]

alright imma turning the quest on

[kind leaf]

sweet, cant wait to find out, i dont own Quest

[bold ibex]

its hell

its just the green terrain, and it lags you out super bad

[kind leaf]

lol

alright, pulling that shit down

[bold ibex]

this is very sad

[kind leaf]

the brute force one says its mobile friendly, but i dont have that to test, plus it would be 7 days until i could test publicly

[bold ibex]

i wanted to buy it anyway sooo

ill just uh grab that

[kind leaf]

at least it isnt expensive, considering the other shit we buy lol

[bold ibex]

proper assets can get real pricy yea

if this works on the quest at all ill be surprised

w at least 15 fps

[kind leaf]

let us know 🙂

[bold ibex]

reading the reviews and it seems like it supports mobile as of v1.6 but idk where to find the actual logs lol

i knowthere is a website I found it last time

[kind leaf]

Well, the dx11 wasnt a ctd so the method is valid. I bet a shader that supports mobile will have a better shot.

[bold ibex]

I dont even know how these shaders work at all

[kind leaf]

r/whoosh for me as well lol. Shaders are magic 😛

[bold ibex]

anything to alieviate cpu load

thats what they do right

oml why did I import literally everything but the bruteforce shader and THEN convert the project to android

silly vrchat with its false alarms

I cant imagine what may go wrong

[kind leaf]

😛

[bold ibex]

it uploaded...

the one that didn't support it didn't work

I just realised there was another scene file named "02MacMobileShowcase"

i have to try that and hope it works

[bold ibex]

everything was black completely, the sun was the only visible thing

[kind leaf]

grrrr

[bold ibex]

holy shit it works but its scuffed

everything is dark, no color variation with the grass, and the normal dirt floor was also green

good news is that the grass does waver and stuff like its real grass in the wind

[kind leaf]

you can only have one pixel light in quest right? does the grass have an emission map?

[bold ibex]

I dont even know

what is a pixel light

[kind leaf]

your realtime light, you'ed want to bake the lighting for a real world, but how is the grass going to get lit if it moves?

light probes or emissions, and i dont see anything about emissions

[bold ibex]

there are 2 directional lights

1 is active 1 is inactive

i should try seeing what the PC version is like, I actually don't know if maybe its just breaking because VRChat

that would explain me not ever seeing this ingame but my friend said he thinks he saw this before in VRChat

It does use scripts, I thought you couldn't use scripts that aren't whitelisted by VRChat; the VRChat Control Panel would stop you right?

[kind leaf]

Scripts will not pass into the build, so the required metal platform script is getting scrubbed. The required script for mobile(metal) platforms.

[bold ibex]

oh mobile is metal

ok

also it works on PC fine I was so scared it wasnt

[kind leaf]

"BF_MeshExtrusion.cs"

[bold ibex]

yea i saw that one

what do you mean by scrubbed

[kind leaf]

removed

[bold ibex]

this seems functional ingame so idk what that scripts purpose was

thankfullty it wasnt essential

I have a very annoying overlay on my screen too, probably a Canvas I have to delete if I remember right

[kind leaf]

if you manage to get the lighting right... I think the green ground might just be the shadow strength being too high, the shadow is green 😛

[bold ibex]

OHH

[kind leaf]

Yeah, thats the demo canvas

[bold ibex]

so if I made the directional light make no shadows, it should work better on mobile

[kind leaf]

realtime light is always harder with shadows.

[bold ibex]

so interesting, turning off shadows makes the scene significantly darker but i can make it back to normal by cranking up the light intensity

oor wait tf

I clicked onto another gameobject and it got super bright again

[kind leaf]

sounds interesting make sure to give the doc a read over, lots of artifacting and lighting issues + solutions https://www.bruteforcegame.com/brute-force-grass-shader

[bold ibex]

wil do

[kind leaf]

Good find though, Ive seen this shader posted a few times and never thought to try one.

[quasi tusk]

This is a world I'm currently making, very simple just a room, nothing professional. I don't have any knowledge in unity, just doing it for fun since 2018. Only thing I'm good at is adding shaders to materials

[kind leaf]

Sweet, planning to upgrade to the latest SDK and current supported Unity version?

Diggin the ceiling texture, also hope the fan moves 🙂

[quasi tusk]

Im still worried about most of the shaders or textures changing back to default after switching, so im sticking to 2018 for now. rest of my content is in 2019 version. I think it happened after switching out of 2017 a while back

[kind leaf]

That wont happen with this switch, but if you follow the guide you should be safe. First two steps in the guide are making a backup and reading the guide completely before starting 🙂 As long as you make a backup nothing can go wrong.

[bold ibex]

I wouldn't be able to use HDRP or URP because VRChat needs the default render pipeline right?

[kind leaf]

yes, only the built in rp is supported.

different shaders are used for different pipelines

[quasi tusk]

Fan in action

[quasi tusk]

took me a while to find out how to get the shadows to move with the fan

[rocky siren]

holy- that's nice man

[quasi tusk]

thanks lol

[rocky siren]

the shadows are amazing

[idle sage]

I'm having an issue with an animator, it seems like the object is moving slightly when it 'should' be idle, I'm a little stumped to be honest. 😄
About 30 seconds ago this was aligned perfectly, but now it's slid over to the side a bit:

Animator looks like so:

(Oops, accidentally marked the image as a spoiler)

When it's sliding, it's in the 'Closed' state.

(Waiting for the 'OpenDoor' condition to be true to transition to TrainDoorOpen)

Here's the train door object with Animator as well:

[near escarp]

did you check your keyframes/curves for that animation ?

make sure it doesn't loop forever in other states

[idle sage]

Closed and Open states have no motion, so the object shouldn't move when in those right?

I'm not really familiar with animations. 🙂

[near escarp]

is the surrounding object potentially moving then ?

[idle sage]

Any object in contact with it, is static.

However, terrain is moving.

Maybe I'll try making its parent the world and see if that differs in some way.

Here's a short video of the issue, it became offset by as much as you see at the start of the video whilst I was opening up OBS, then you can see it slowlyyyyy floating away too. 🙂

Probably just something dumb I've done, I hope. 😄

[idle sage]

You know what, I've figured it out! Removing the object from its parent fixed it. Though the parent doesn't move, so I'm not exactly sure why this has any effect at all.
Either way, a fix is a fix. I'll go with it.

[pure kraken]

My builder won't show up. I've restarted unity and reimported the sdk several times

not sure what to do from here

@near escarp do you have any clue?

[sturdy lynx]

Check console for errors

[pure kraken]

there arent any.

[sturdy lynx]

Or do a backup of your project then reinstall the sdk in unity

[pure kraken]

as i've said, i've already reimported the sdk several times.

[near escarp]

close unity and restart, then check for console errors

[hollow merlin]

Anyone working on more pvp or golf worlds? Tried 2 earlier this week and was really fun and well put together

[kind leaf]

PVP or Golf.... Now I am just imagining you chasing people down with golf clubs.

How about a combination of both. Dodgeball style. Half the players on the field, the other half shooting balls at them 😛

[hazy rivet]

I've got a problem with the SDK, this is a fresh install of unity 2019.4.31f1

Any ideas for a fix?

[kind leaf]

If all you installed was the sdk then press clear. If error remain try reimporting.

[hazy rivet]

So, they are only a problem if they persist after a console clear?

[kind leaf]

yep, a lot of false reports are generated on importing. If you press clear and they go away there usually isnt anything to worry about

It's because one script gets imported before its dependencies^

[hazy rivet]

Thank you, this was causing me a lot of worry

[neat ravine]

For world development, do people purchase assets from the unity store to decorate their worlds?

[bold ibex]

Its one of the places but there are many other 3d moddeling websites that have a much larger wider catalog; see this VERY convienent list https://www.viar360.com/where-to-find-3d-models-to-use-in-your-vr-experience/

[neat ravine]

and they can be imported into unity?

(sorry im really new to this)

[bold ibex]

If they are just .fbx or .obj files yea

[neat ravine]

okay!

[bold ibex]

if they just give you like 3dsmax or blend files then you need to open it in that first and then export as fbx

most of the time its already in .obj or .fbx

Blender is a good beginner 3d moddeling application if you want to further modify the models you get

free

[neat ravine]

yeah i downloaded it to try making my own world

but im new so i can't uhhh publish anything yet? which is fine bc it's not gonna be done any time soon anyways lol

it won't let me test it though argh

[ruby jay]

try https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu/ in the meantime

[neat ravine]

ok!

[neat ravine]

which is better, fbx or obj files?

[kind leaf]

depends on what you are importing. OBJ is a simple format which only stores geometry so you need a .mtl file included with texture/material information.

[harsh wagon]

I want to have snow particles in a world I'm making, but I'm not sure what effect they'll have on performance. Right now I have a particle system with ~4000 particles, and a total of ~6000 particles in the whole world.

On my setup it runs just fine, but my PC is pretty good so I don't know if it's just me.

ehehheHEHEH i got my video player working

also i'll go with fbx then

Hello i'm trying to use a World i've found on booth (this one: https://booth.pm/en/items/2367184 ) but i can't launch it on test. It open VRchat, load and send me back to my VRchat home.
If you want to know, i've import it in Unity, opened the scene then put the SDK (as the description in the booth said)

I don't know a lot of things about VRchat world that's why i wanted a world that's ready to use to upload avatar

is there somewhere to download like, wallpapers or something for walls for building worlds? or skyboxes?

can somoene help me ?

i dont know what the problem :'(

[idle sage]

What settings for VRC Pickup would I use to prevent it having velocity on drop?

I'm assuming it's one of the Momentum Transfer Methods?

The names of them aren't very descriptive though. 😄

[opal sigil]

yes its when i transfer it did that

[idle sage]

Make sure you're using the latest UdonSharp and that you deleted the old version before updating.

[opal sigil]

okay thx

[idle sage]

Looks like maybe you're using a version that was made for Unity 2018.

[opal sigil]

is it the wrong version ?

[idle sage]

Noooo, version of UdonSharp.

[opal sigil]

oh okay

so i del udonsharp and re add it ?

it wont break everything ?

[idle sage]

Backup the project first. 😄

But yeah, delete UdonSharp folder, install latest one.

Worth making sure you're on the latest SDK3 as well if you've updated from 2018.

[opal sigil]

https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/releases/tag/v0.20.3

ythis version is the good version ?

[idle sage]

Looks fine yeah.

Just make sure you delete your existing UdonSharp folder first.

[opal sigil]

it does the same :(

can someone help me with this issue nothing i do can fix it

I tried to make a mirror toggle with UI and it works fine in cyanemu's playmode but when i build and test it,it's not working anymore. Help?

[kind leaf]

VRC UI Shape attached to the canvas?

[lime pasture]

@errant beacon here is what it looks like

[errant beacon]

would help to post a screenshot of the full console o:

[lime pasture]

do you need close up?

[chrome juniper]

yup

[lime pasture]

the control panel for vrchat sdk is missing too i can not build test or upload?

@errant beacon ^

[errant beacon]

Try right-clicking Udonsharp in the asset browser and hitting Reimport, or Reimport All? not sure past that, sorry o:

[lime pasture]

reimport all now its reloading

[kind leaf]

make sure the UI elements are sharing the same plane of existence. They function in a 2d world so if you pull a button away from the canvas it will break. Make sure all elements are within the bounds of the canvas as well. And if the layer is on UI change it to default or Walkthrough.

[lime pasture]

@errant beacon Its all reimported now, its back up but still do not have access to the control panel from the VRChat SDK. As for the errors its now in purple

[kind leaf]

And you have 60+ instead of 41... can you show the log from the top, at least the first 20 errors.

[chrome juniper]

does that mean the mirror also has to be in the same plane?

[kind leaf]

no just the ui elements have to be within the canvas

like a flat piece of paper. you can move them up, down, left or right but never away from the paper

If all that checks out then the only thing left is to verify that the ui elements are not being blocked by a collider. You can click through colliders in unity, you cannot in vrc.

[lime pasture]

Should i just remove this video player to see if the errors disappear and see if control panel comes bacm

[kind leaf]

Can you show the beginning of the errors? At least the top 20? The video player is probably not your issue.

[chrome juniper]

Thank Q

[lime pasture]

I deleted both unity packages i was getting frustrated with the errors so i am just going not to have a video player in my world for now. I did get the control panel to pop back in

[lime pasture]

I have this new error, after removing both those packages. Signed back into vrchat on the editor and i get this when i got to update the build? Should i detach from pipe line and do it over?

[bold ibex]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/cartoon-water-shader/questions i need a material for a waterfall i really like this one but it says unreal engine so im presuming its not gonna work in unity

looking for a car prefab for sdk2

[lime pasture]

I can not figure out this new issue i can not update my world now grr

[kind leaf]

vrcprefabs.com/browse

[green lagoon]

would not recommend making any world's in SDK 2 as it's deprecated

[vast spoke]

udon kinda hard to code and shiiiittttt

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanTrigger this lets you code using SDK 2 triggers in udon

[kind leaf]

learning magical nonsense tends to be harder at first. Coding (visual or script) is at least backed in reality. Instead of a minefield of dropdowns and triggers

[vast spoke]

i tried udon once and i panicked i might try it out sometime

for now, sdk2 is for me

[green lagoon]

I would not recommend it as they'll eventually remove the ability to upload SDK Two Worlds

[kind leaf]

At least when you do move on, if you primary cyantriggers you still have the ability to use sharp or udon. Growth will come 🙂

[green lagoon]

so that's literally shooting your project in the foot

[vast spoke]

Im sorry what

[green lagoon]

https://i.gyazo.com/ad94dc9b7bc683f01e96006fc558151c.png

[vast spoke]

so, i gotta start praying that i can learn how to code

[kind leaf]

CYanTriggers is similar to sdk2 setup. takes care of the coding for you. just click n drag like before

BUT just like with sdk2, you dont have to code shit in udon either if you dont want to. there are plenty of prebuilt prefabs like the ones you already use

just make sure you have the requirements met and drag n drop

[green lagoon]

and folks have made SDK3 cars were all you have to do is drag the cars into the the scene

[vast spoke]

so you are saying

[lime pasture]

i can not update my world, i keep getting this

[vast spoke]

ooh

[vast spoke]

is there a way to remove all vrc sdk2 stuff

in a unity project

[kind leaf]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanTrigger/wiki/SDK2-to-Udon-Migration

fkin crawler link lol

[stone marsh]

You have 3 options:

1: sign into the account associated with the ID in the blueprint.

2: detached the ID in your pipeline manager blueprint so it's blank

3: check everything in your project to make sure you don't have two pipeline managers with different IDs.

[vast spoke]

what do you mean by that

[lime pasture]

I only use one ID but how would i check to see if i have to pipelines?

[stone marsh]

By looking with your eyes.

The ID that is attached HAS to have been an ID from your account. It can't be an ID from someone else, or one that came with a model, asset, or anything like that. You can only have one active scene and one active world ID. If you added any prefabs with an ID it needs to be removed.

[kind leaf]

the first link i posted was a crawler link, i edited with the original link 😛

[vast spoke]

aj

ah

well is this the editor file?

[kind leaf]

I dunno nost, best to read over the link I posted, and see what cyan says. I have never cleaned out an sdk. Cyans migration tool might be easier. Read it over and if you need help try their discord.

[lime pasture]

Does it matter that i have two Scenes in the assets folder?

[lime pasture]

Even though i am logged in when i go to build an publish it says that i am not logged in after the screen pops up

[bold ibex]

Do tell if you ever find a good water shader that looks similar to that and satisfies your requirements!

Ok how can i get a ban system in my world? cause i have a few toxic indeviduals who are being toxic as fuck i wanna get them out of my community

[lime pasture]

@stone marsh The only thing im able to do is build & test my world i can not build & publish

[marble swallow]

So i just got this error when i imported the udonsharp video player https://gyazo.com/376a74a64a5e5f4d394b7a3b1999445c anyone know how to fix this?

[unkempt mauve]

How do I add the debug console in my world?

Is it a prefab?

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/debugging-udon-projects

[marble swallow]

Also this is popping up for all of my video players https://gyazo.com/735425bd6a3b4179798529eee3fbebe0

I even added them to a new scene

[near escarp]

you're missing the files for it

[marble swallow]

Where would i find the files?

[near escarp]

idk, which prefab did you use ?

[marble swallow]

USharp Video

[near escarp]

Did you reimport it ?

[marble swallow]

Yes

[unkempt mauve]

I meant this console.

[slate haven]

Need help pls ☹️☹️☹️

[stone marsh]

What world is this in? looks like a panel for some prefab like a pool table or some chat asset.

It's waaaaaay too pixelated to actually read any of the pic.

[near escarp]

pretty sure it's the pool table

[stone marsh]

That's honestly what I was thinking. Really looks like the UI from Harry's pool table. I think the UI panel was updated for the Community Billiards so idk

[stone marsh]

I've always wanted to ask, is the video in "we need to talk about vrchat" available online anywhere? I see your profile banner but dunno how much u had to do with it overall

[near escarp]

That video is unlisted, I just did some voiceover for it

[stone marsh]

Ah gotcha. Honestly the best thing I've found in VRC in a long time. Brilliant. Your voicing fits perfect.

Is there any way I could get something like this to work in the game?

[neat ravine]

hey is there a way to control audio like... i have a wall here but I don't want the audio to go through the wall

like this

is there a way to completely flatten it somehow?

since i have the screen 'mounted' on the back of the wall

[chilly grove]

You could place a trigger volume behind the wall that mutes the audio while inside it

Or place a volume in the area where you only want the audio to be heard

[neat ravine]

yeah im thinking of moving the audio to like, a speaker that i put in the middle of the room instead

[neat ravine]

hoogh im having trouble figuring out how to convert textures to materials

the file i downloaded came with multiple layers and i don't know how to apply them. im looking at youtube tutorials but they're not really answering my questions

[neat ravine]

hey I downloaded 3DTextures.me stuff, but they come with multiple images and I can't get the desired effect from creating materials.

im trying to make a glass ceiling and have it be somewhat transparent...

[south orbit]

there are several ways u can apply a texture to material, one of them is clicking the material and put on the main mask as the texture u want it to be, another way which i prefer doing is that

so u pull out a 3D cube or create one, then u just mark the cube, drag the texture on the cube and it will automatically create a material version of it in materials folder

• a little reminder, when u make a specific material out of a specific texture like that, it will consider the material the main material which means that anything u apply this material to will have its configuration, in other words, if u want several of the same materials with same texture but different configuration, make duplicates of the same material, by doing method 1 i explained above, in that way u wont mess 1 material which u might accidently applied to different things and though it was only counting for the thing rather than the material .

[south orbit]

• to make transparent materials, u must take use of the shader within the material, u can use standard shader for that even, tho there is rendering mode that says '' opaque '' usually u wanna change that to '' transparent '' and not remain it opaque, beside of that u can inside the color configuration also drag down / up the transparency

example here i made a purple glass material

[neat ravine]

ooh okay!

i found another tutorial and it turns out the images are all named like "occlusion" "height" etc

the detail i added ended up being super dark though...

[south orbit]

here is a typical glass shader i made

looks like this, pretty transparent

inside the color wheel u wanna drop it to 190

that is the transparency i was talking about

[neat ravine]

ohhh okay

omg you saved me it looks PERFECT

can i show?

[south orbit]

feel free to (: and glad to hear it worked out

[neat ravine]

thanks so much!!!!

[south orbit]

i feel tho the frame should been metallic not transparent :p

but it surely looks good on those squares ye (:

[neat ravine]

im not sure how to do that, f

[south orbit]

the only way u can do so is if they are 2 seperate objects or if u made the object entirely from scratch in probuilder

since that lets u choose layers / sides of an object to texture / materialize them, if this isnt the case then

[neat ravine]

ahhh

[south orbit]

and if its 1 object in total, then yeh prob wont be possible

another reason i like ProBuilder alot and can like recommend it
