[bold ibex]

trying to find simple stuff like pillows on the unity store but not much there or not what im looking for

iv looked on sketchfab as well, majority need some sort of credit and im not really sure how all that stuff works

[misty wave]

Booth.pm is good~

Anyone know why I can't update particle frequency with a UI slider?

Events on 'Slider' were removed because one of them targeted a prohibited type

[bold ibex]

how do you credit model creators in your world?

do you just make a wall of credits ?

[misty wave]

Generally that's what I would do, ye!

Anyone know how I can make an object follow the player??? I want particles just above where the players are

[whole edge]

Sketchfab is fire

Just make sure to keep watch for the poly and tri counts, if they’re hella high just throw the model into blender and decimate it a little bit

[bold ibex]

....

[whole edge]

If you’re using a ton of models, try to keep the counts lower. If you’re using a couple, you can typically make ‘em a little higher.

[bold ibex]

alright

and now this is a long shot but

Right now im learning the basics to make worlds, starting off small you know, but my long term goals are making larger, pvp maps with guns for my group. does anyone here have any information on how guns and all that stuff works?

[misty wave]

I've not messed with weapons honestly, but https://vrcprefabs.com/ has a weapons system that probably is great~!

[bold ibex]

Open your downloads folder with the assets you download, then in unity, right click on assets and select "open in windows" it will open your assets folder then drag and drop the assets you downloaded into your assets folder and they will upload.

[bold ibex]

thanks ill look into this~

[idle jolt]

Is there a tutorial for the prefab jetdog8003 made where it lets you drive a vehicle? I’m on mobile and I have yet to download it

[woeful junco]

@green lagoon Hi. I was wondering if you know if the Patreon system is integrated into VrChat please? I keep seeing signs that offer extra things if you join their Patreon. Like extra game items and such. Or how that is done? Thanks so much

[misty wave]

His prefabs are pretty straight forward in my experience, so I would imagine it's drag and drop

[misty wave]

Just done manually, usually

[woeful junco]

Thanks

[green lagoon]

there is currently no in-app system for patreon so that's just people sign up for the patreon and the rewards are handled out of game or in the case of patreon only parts of world the world maker can add people's names manually to a list that permit entrance

[idle jolt]

Alright, I didn’t know if it needed any outside prefab like how not bad cars did. I hope they update to 3.0 as I’m more familiar with that prefab

[woeful junco]

Thanks 🙂

[misty wave]

I can't 100% confirm for that prefab in particular, but usually his stuff is drag and drop

[tired vale]

I think you might have misunderstood. My problem is that my World will not upload with certain assets in it, simply stating that the asset bundle failed to upload. I don't have issues getting assets into Unity. Thanks anyway!

[bold ibex]

Ohhh. My bad. What assets? You'll have to remove them and find replacements.

[tired vale]

Yeah, so far thats sort of what i have done, but it confuses me as the tutorials that i follow dont have a problem using them.

Which is why i thought it might be a setup issue or something on my part

[misty wave]

Any idea why my UI canvas wouldn't be letting me click it on a build and test?

[idle jolt]

Maybe it’s on by default?
I’m not experienced with UI so take this with a grain of salt

[bold ibex]

What assets are they?

[misty wave]

I think it's my fault, I borked the positioning lol

Anyone else experiencing difficulty with build and test on VR mode since the new UI update?

[tired vale]

So far it's some skyboxes and a certain sofa which have been giving me trouble. Funny thing with the skyboxes is that some from the package i downloaded will work while others dont.
The skybox was from this set:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/textures-materials/sky/allsky-free-10-sky-skybox-set-146014
And the sofa from this:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/props/furniture/hq-modern-sofas-pack-52202

[misty wave]

hmmmm allsky skyboxes are ch o n k y

Hope it's okay to share this:

It has sound~

[idle jolt]

So I downloaded jetdog's prefabs and imported them. The bad news though is that most of the scripts are missing. Do I need Udon sharp or something?

[tawny grove]

Maybe a dumb question, When I try to switch package version , it loads needed one for a moment and then reupload newest one back. How to fix it? All deleted packages reinstall themselves back right away.

[limber panther]

Highly likely. Most udon assets do

any you often want to install udon# first, before loading in the asset

[bold ibex]

How do i download the Wander AI script?
I follow the link but i dont see the link to download within the link it takes me to

got it

[bold ibex]

can someone help me with mirror problems? the world i have is relatively dark so i added a bit more lighting for avatars but in the mirror avatars still appear like pitch black

anyone know a fix for this?

[whole edge]

Mess with the things that the mirror actually reflects - where the mirror says “Everything”, uncheck each item on the list until they appear normal.

Might fix it, might not

[bold ibex]

ok i think it did

thanks

[whole edge]

No prob. Pretty sure all you need to reflect anyways is Environment, Player and Default. Something like that. Definitely Player and Default

[misty wave]

So I have a world that is incredibly large but mostly empty. It's nearly real scale data, a little beach in front of a huge lake and a mountain in the background. Bakery takes absurdly long to lightmap it. Is there anything I can do to speed up the bake? I get decent performance with real-time but obviously I should avoid it if possible

[amber dagger]

So uh, I need help. I am not a Unity pro. But I have this world I got for VRChat and it requires me to use the 2020 version of editor, but I cannot figure it out, I only just got the pink shit to disappear, but now I don't know how to upload it or anything...

I need a pro's help.

[misty wave]

VRChat is currently not using the 2020 editor, you'll need to use the current supported version. Where'd you get the world from? Surprising they'd set it to 2020

[amber dagger]

The VR models site...

So what do I do?

Is there no way to make this world compatible with the 2019 version?

So I can upload it?

[misty wave]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/current-unity-version
Depending on what your goal is, you can probably import the assets from the 2020 Unity project into a new 2019.4.31f1 project

Is it a fully set-up world, or just the models/textures/layout and such?

[amber dagger]

Fully set up

I think

It's like completely put together. There's no spawn point or anything like that.

[misty wave]

So like the VRChat SDK isn't imported, nothing VRChat specific? Just the map itself? It would be easy to get it into 2019 if that's the case

[amber dagger]

So....what do I do? I'm sorry, I am at a complete loss

[idle jolt]

Does a mesh collider create polys? Should I use box colliders instead for smaller objects?

[misty wave]

What I would recommend, is create a new empty game object, put everything in the hierarchy under it, and export it as an FBX. That way, you can create a new project in 2019 Unity, and import the FBX, and work on it there~

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.formats.fbx@2.0/manual/exporting.html#:~:text=Use Export To FBX (menu,the%20parent's%20hierarchy%20is%20exported.

[misty wave]

Mesh colliders require significantly more processing power, so when possible using box colliders is more performant

[idle jolt]

Gotcha

[amber dagger]

I think I'm dense....

Do I create the new empty game object in the 2020 of the current scene project and then export it and then go to 2019? Am I understanding that right?

The game object auto goes inside the scene folder, how do I put the folder into the game object?

I don't think I'm doing this right.

[unkempt valve]

I added VRCPickup to an object, but its not pickup-able??

[gray sleet]

if anyone knows baking can you help me rq in world lighting?

[bold ibex]

what do u guys use for doorways? i noticed the doorway prefabs and the wall prefabs don't line up properly

[misty wave]

in the Hierarchy in 2020, create a new empty game object

Then copy everything else and put it into the Game Object

Drag that down into Assets

Also struggling to make this work, but there's some tutorials

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rms1xv28lM

[misty wave]

Did you add the collider to it? And it's a rigidbody?

[frigid estuary]

I know SDK2 wont be supported anymore, but are there some synchronization issues in SDK2 right now? It seems since today the "AlwaysBufferOne" in my world isnt working properly for many people anymore.

[humble siren]

Hello Everyone! New to VRCHAT and Pretty new to VR.
How long do you have to spend in VRChat before you can create worlds and upload them? It just tells me spend more time in VRChat before it lets me. Thanks for any info.

[amber dagger]

Can I just hire somebody to do this for me....QwQ

[bold ibex]

So ... Question. I have troubles with textures. How do I apply them properly when an object comes with multiple textures? Where do I apply them? How do I do it?

[mild spade]

You apply textures to Materials. Depending on what type of textures you have, you will have to find a shader that supports those textures. For example, your model might come with "normal maps" textures, you will need to find a shader that supports normal maps. Textures goes on materials. Materials use shaders to display those textures on the world.

[bold ibex]

how would i apply these textures that belong on this couch to the couch?

also sorry, i understood what you mean but at the same time have no idea because i have no idea how to begin to do that

[mild spade]

It looks like those textures are already applied to the couch. If you are not sure, you can click the "Mesh Renderer" on those objects and look for "Materials." The "size" represents how many materials the object uses and which one. At the bottom you can see that my material (which is only 1) is called "SimpleAssets_matte" which uses the Standard shader. That shader supports many "maps" or textures, this is where you place your textures. Albedo is the main map (texture) Metallic is a different texture for metallic effects, Normal is another texture for a different effect and so on... Can you click the couch mesh renderer and send a picture of what it looks like?

[unreal leaf]

how do vehicles usually work in vrchat worlds? like how do you make them move only when someone is sitting in them

[bold ibex]

I'm having troubles getting a picture but the couch doesn't look like that. It has other colors on it

[bold ibex]

If u look at the screenshot I sent, there is no mesh renderer on that object.

[mild spade]

That is because it is the parent object. You have to find it. Maybe one of the "cube00x" has the mesh

[bold ibex]

Ohhh ok

[mild spade]

That is just a way to organize the hierarchy. Putting all sofas into an empty object called "sofa" with nothing in it. But the real objects are a child of it.

[mild spade]

in SDK2 the component that controls the car starts disabled and it is enabled locally to the person who sits on the car. When they sit, they trigger an event that enables the car controller, and when they exit the chair, they disable the car controller component.

[bold ibex]

@mild spade

Why's it greyed out like I can't put the albedo and normal and etc in it

@whole edge sorry for the ping. the mirror actually didnt get fixed. the avatar i was using just made me thought it did lmao

[mild spade]

Looks like those materials are attached to the model. You can either extract them or simply create a new material. Right click, create--> Material. You should be able to edit this one. Then just drag the New material into the model Mesh Renderer (under Element 0), or simply drag and drop from the folder into the couch. From there just plug in your textures (maps) into the albedo

[chilly flower]

hello

that tiny theatre is the same as that big theatre

how do i upscale it to the exact same size as the big one?

[bold ibex]

right click on it in the hierarchy, click duplicate

[bold ibex]

so what do i do from here

[chilly flower]

ok the tiny theatre has certain differences. its a different model modified by me

I dont want an exact duplicate

@bold ibex

i want to make the small one as big as the big one

[bold ibex]

use the "scale" tool and put it ontop of the other one to eyeball it?

@mild spade

[chilly flower]

yeahhhhh ugh

eyeballing sucks but aight

[bold ibex]

ummm i think i just thought of another way. check the dimensions of the big one in the inspector and just copy those dimensions to the second one

like the position, rotation, etc

[chilly flower]

i tried that. i think the scale numbers are relative. that picture i posted is them both at 1

[bold ibex]

my avatar looks fine but in the mirror its all dark like this. anyone know a fix?

oh Squall, am i doing this right? how do i know which spots the other textures go? i know normal is always usually that blueish purple color. what about the wood and concrete?

[mild spade]

You Will have to plug in one of the "clothe000" into the albedo until it looks the way you wanted it to look. The Wood and Concrete looks like they belong on another mesh. Right now the "cube.001" is highlighting the bottom of the couch only. I believe you will have to click the objects on the middle (little tables) and apply the wood texture to those. You will have to create a new material for that, but you can use the same material on all your couch meshes.

[bold ibex]

gah, why do they make this shit so confuysing for haha

i feel like im not gonna be able to figure it out

[mild spade]

Yes... the creator of the couch made too many objects and materials when it can easily be combined into just one mesh and one material

[bold ibex]

i love you for trying. ill keep at it. should we get married?

[mild spade]

Looks like the wood belongs to the yellow and the concrete belongs to the gray table.

[unreal leaf]

how does one check for input in udon?

[mild spade]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/input-events for example, when they press the "jump" button on their controller, regardless of what controller they are using (or in vr/non vr)

[unreal leaf]

right, but im confused about how these work

like, if i want to check for an input in c# i'd go if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) {do this code}

i guess you'd do an override? hmm

[bold ibex]

same story with this bed... i dont freakin understandddddd thoeeee. i wish i could magically understand how to do it

so okay, i click on one of the children of the object. then i.... make a new texture then put the texture into the 0 spot then assign one of the textures to the corresponding slots and somehow im supposed to guess what slot they go in... correct? @mild spade

im just not getting this

[mild spade]

You could try extracting the materials, maybe just maybe they will retain their textures where they belong instead of having to guess their spot. You can do this by clicking the material "bed 09" It will take you to where the bed mesh is.

[bold ibex]

hmm

[mild spade]

Oh sorry, forgot to send this. Once you find where the object is (will have a little arrow) you click it, then on "materials" select "external material (legacy) then apply

[mild spade]

Hmm Im sorry, I only know the visual scripting nodes Udon uses. Try asking in #udon-general But if you are trying to get a key down, like space, keep in mind that VR players will not be able to press that key easily. That is why the VRChat input is the easiest way to get player input since it is universal (jump, grab, drop etc)

[bold ibex]

hmm ok i tried that to 2 different couches and the bed and it did nothing

like i just dont understand y the objects cnt just come w the textures and materials already on them this is dumbbb

[bold ibex]

Can anyone help explain to me or show me a good tutorial video on how to apply textures to objects?

[chilly flower]

When someone says “optimised” world

Wat do they mean by that exactly

[bold ibex]

It can mean two things:

Lossless optimization, which is the reduction of the demands placed on your CPU and GPU without a noticeable decline in the functionality or appearance of a world. An example would be the act of marking certain gameObjects as static so they can be rendered in batches.

Lossy optimization, which accomplishes the above task to a greater degree at the cost of some quality loss. An example would be using crunch compression to massively reduce texture file size in exchange for acceptable quality loss.

[amber sail]

Hey all I just joined the discord. I just got done creating my first world using the homekit template. My upload was went good. I can see my world under "mine" but I does not let me go there on my oculus quest 2. It there a way to convert it? and what did I do wrong when creating it?

[upper obsidian]

Press the button switch to android in the SDK option, and upload again.

And also read the documentation on the site, everything is described in detail there. Including about the quest, what of the components can be used and what not.

[bold ibex]

how do i make the SFX feel only in the part inside the circle and not all over the world?

[toxic wraith]

"attach to me" package works when "I build and Test" when I try to publish the world I get this Error ... PLZ HELP!

[wild vapor]

Welp, I've filled up my avatar slots, so I guess it's time to make my avatar world..

[south orbit]

'' max distance ''

[south orbit]

find the object that has this script try disable and see if it will work, u could also even it sounds odd try save ur project, re open it and see if it will do the trick

[wary veldt]

heyo, i need some help making a map. ive never made one and help would be very, very nice.

[toxic wraith]

if I disable the script It works but I want the script to work lol, did the restart dint work

[south orbit]

thats way too general for this channel, if u wish to learn how to make a map i suggest u watch guides on youtube, if u have anythin specific u need help with this is the place to ask

[south orbit]

yeh well the purpose / point of that is to find the cause of the issue in the first place

[wary veldt]

i just got told to come here doe

alr then

[toxic wraith]

found the object that is causing the error

[south orbit]

so now u know it is the script there is only 1 place to work from, which is the script u gotta figure out what breaks it to me it looks like

[toxic wraith]

but idk how to fix it

[south orbit]

keywords that it is tryin to locate but they might have a name that makes it not able to locate but again

when it comes to such scripts it can be so difficult to actually say the error / issue, it is very dependant on the script, like what it is for, who made it, where did u get it and so on

[chilly flower]

If i want to optimize my world, are there people i can go to and be like

Do dat

[south orbit]

u might have more luck under #udon-general as the error u're dealing with is part of UdonSharp

[south orbit]

there is probably people that optimizes worlds for commissions out there i wouldnt be surprised, finding them tho is another question, but generally dedicated semi professional map makers perhaps is a place to start, in that sense u can find them from ingame to however, i aint to say but ye it surely is a thing out there .

if u want to do it urself and have questions on it there is also the #world-optimization for that

[toxic wraith]

cheers

[topaz pebble]

im having issues uploading my world but there are no error logs can someone help

i will pay

[ruby jay]

what exactly is the problem? what are you trying? when did this start happening?

[topaz pebble]

i've tried for 2 days, literally just attempting to upload world and it's giving no errors but not uploading

makes no sense

[ruby jay]

can you show your console? and maybe your scene?

[topaz pebble]

@ruby jay

[ruby jay]

please click the red symbol too or else you filter the messages

[upper obsidian]

So what's the problem with the upload? At what stage is the error?

[topaz pebble]

after it goes through the whole upload process it just crashes

and goes back to scene

[ruby jay]

i would also tick warning (yellow)
and then disable clear on play and clear on build
just clear manually
then attempt an upload and show us what the logs says after the failure

this way we can have a one clean take on what happens and evaluate from there

[topaz pebble]

ok i will record process

one moment

@ruby jay

[ruby jay]

oh, just send the console log

[topaz pebble]

i thought i just did

[ruby jay]

you sent a video file

[topaz pebble]

the video shows exactly what's happening i thought thats what you wanted

sorry

@ruby jay

[ruby jay]

does the game tab show nothing?

[topaz pebble]

i will show

[ruby jay]

also you sent two screenshots of a different time

[topaz pebble]

because same message

i can send new

[ruby jay]

can you try pressing play and see if any error appears?

[topaz pebble]

game tab gets stuck here

its already in play

but stuck

and I tried leaving it here for hours before to see if it was just loading but nope no change

@ruby jay

[whole edge]

^^Edit: he deleted his messages responding to me lmao

Not everybody is available 24/7. Most places it’s either early morning or lunch time. There’s also Google and YouTube when people on the server don’t have answers for you.

I have a helpful tip for you - if you’re gonna get angry when people don’t respond asap, take your error code and paste it into Google 😐 good luck brotha

[upper obsidian]

@topaz pebble It seems to me that you yourself see that the problem is with the audio player better, check its settings. Or ask a question to the author of the player.

[topaz pebble]

Even after removing the audio player it still doesn’t work

Which leads my to believe that’s not the issue

But thanks for your non-help

Anyone with actual useful help here?

[upper obsidian]

You haven't even described the problem yet.
Can't upload it up it's not a problem.

[whole edge]

Dude. If you can’t figure out the issue, don’t be angry when others can’t either, especially when they don’t have the scene literally right in front of their face. Chill out and take the negativity somewhere else.

[topaz pebble]

@whole edge again if your not going to help stf

stfu

respectfully.

idk why your still talking

[whole edge]

Again, take that negativity somewhere else or you aren’t gonna get any help lmao

[topaz pebble]

just say you dont know the issue and cant help

[whole edge]

“Respectfully”

[topaz pebble]

whos being negative?

lol

[whole edge]

You 😶

[topaz pebble]

negative because i want help and theres an idiot texting me ruining the quality of the chat

[whole edge]

Point proven - gonna go to work now, good luck and learn how to use Google brotha.

[topaz pebble]

bye

have a blessed day

[random sphinx]

is there a way to adjust a player's move speed in-world?

[upper obsidian]

This does not work?

[random sphinx]

yes but i mean in-game adjustment, not in unity

[stone marsh]

You'd target that script with another script or UI listener and change it by sending a new value and updating it. This can be done using just basic UI sliders, buttons, area triggers or anything really. Open the graph and have a look at the variables and the event that triggers them.

[random sphinx]

is it possible to reference the VRCWorld variables in udonsharp?

[mighty heron]

So I've had a world with some ai enemies in it that are synced through object sync.
In the past this worked perfectly, with very little latency in behaviour.
But very recently they react MUCH slower to remote players, sometimes taking literal seconds before their logic updates

I've not update the world since it worked fine, and my friends play it regularly. So I don't really know if this was something I did or if the syncing is fucked somehow

anyone else had this issue before?

[random sphinx]

i haven't had that exact issue, but i have noticed that object sync leaves much to be desired

[mighty heron]

has this been brought up to the devs before?

ngl this kinda makes my world, and anything like it I'm guessing, completely impossible to do proper

[random sphinx]

i have no clue, i'm still fairly new to VRC world building; but yeah it seems like a significant issue to me

[ruby jay]

it is known to the devs, object sync is just bad atm

[desert python]

some weeks, object sync gets super slow, sometimes to the point where it tricks you into thinking you forgot to add object sync

and some weeks, its almost perfect

[random sphinx]

i also just learned that objectsync won't sync objects between quest and PC users if your quest and PC builds come from separate Unity projects

which makes organization much more difficult for me

[mighty heron]

that's... ridiculous

[ruby jay]

no, if your hierarchy is not 1:1 the same, sync will break

[desert python]

no, the hierarchies just need to be the same

[random sphinx]

i'm fairly sure they were the same. i even copied the meta files over

[desert python]

however, this mightve changed recently but hierarchy is what should be the same

[ruby jay]

your hierarchy is just likely different, there are many worlds using object sync just with a two project setup

[random sphinx]

i guess it's possible, but i literally just copy and pasted the project and didn't change anything other than the materials

maybe i'll try it again sometime and see what happens

[ruby jay]

unity cache got really fast in 2019 anyway, makes two projects not so necessary

[upper obsidian]

In a unity, all objects have their own id, which usually coincides when copying a project, and in this case, synchronization works. In other cases, no.

[chilly hawk]

How many pickup items with gravity can the Quest handle?

My Skee-ball tables have 10 spheres each, so I have 30 there alone.

[desert python]

depends on their collider, mass, drag and othere rigid body stuff

[bold ibex]

Hello / Good evening

I have a request
I would like to convert my .USDZ to .unitypackage

Thank you in advance

[desert python]

should be fine

[chilly hawk]

What about the bar? Most are box colliders. All have default mass and drag.

[desert python]

box colliders should be good

id say youre fine, i would still make a toggle for them, but at that point, its based on drawcall and mesh optimization stuff at that point

[chilly hawk]

Great, thanks!

[bold ibex]

man this is confusing.. im trying to optimize my world, i started using crunch compression and the world size got bigger- what

tried to modify it, and it barely changed

what am i doing wrong

[bold ibex]

made everything static.. no change in size..

[left rain]

check the build debugger in VRWorldToolkit

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

each time you run a full build you can get a breakdown of what's taking up space. you might have some unexpected unused textures or meshes included in the build

also keep in mind that crunch reduces the download size but does not reduce the in-memory size of your textures, as they are decompressed on load

[bold ibex]

@left rain when i try to build this happens

[left rain]

hmmm.

try checking the plugin inspector for VRCCore-Editor.dll and make sure that the platform is set to editor only

[bold ibex]

where can i find the plugin inspector

also this popped up

[left rain]

the UV thing isn't a dealbreaker, depends on your baked lighting situation

[bold ibex]

i swapped all my lights to baked, set all objects to static, set everything to crunch compression and my world went up by 2mbs

[left rain]

for the plugin inspector you need to find that DLL file in your project

baked lighting will increase file size!

the lightmaps have to be stored as actual textures

[bold ibex]

how do i do that

[left rain]

do what? find the file?

[bold ibex]

^

[left rain]

that happens automatically when you bake lighting. that's literally what baking lighting is-- you store the lightmaps as textures to be used by your materials

the baking process handles all of this for you. but the tradeoff for baking lighting is that you get better performance (because you don't have to use realtime lights for everything or worry about raytracing bounced light at runtime which is crazy expensive) but you have to spend a few MB to store those maps

[green lagoon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/uploads/Main/Lightmapping-2.jpg

[bold ibex]

ah alright

also

found it

[left rain]

yeah, check the inspector for that file and make sure it's set to Editor Only

[green lagoon]

one could apply texture compression on some of the textures that aren't the light Maps to get those MB back to budget for the light Maps

[bold ibex]

this is what its set on

[left rain]

you want it to be editor only

[bold ibex]

so uncheck any and check editor?

[left rain]

yes

if that doesn't work, you might need to remove and then reinstall the SDK3

[bold ibex]

yeah it didnt work

everytime i try to build it just resets itself

[left rain]

what do you mean "resets itself"

[bold ibex]

it just goes back to the original settings

[left rain]

when did this error start happening? did you recently install some other custom package?

[hollow swift]

anyone know a solution to fix this problem i have with my unity, i can't find my control panel to build the world and i have these errors

[bold ibex]

well this is my first time trying to build

so i dont know for sure

[topaz pebble]

is there a way to bulk crunch compress textures? i have 3,000 textures im trying to compress in order to optomize my world

[left rain]

okay. other things to check are that you're using the correct version of Unity, and if so, try completely removing and then re-installing the SDK3 package

you should be in 2019.4.31f1

[bold ibex]

im on the correct version

whats the safest way for me to remove the sdk because i dont want it to break my world

[left rain]

make a backup

[bold ibex]

ok. im pretty much out of time rn so im going to try this later

[left rain]

the other thing to try is removing any third-party packages you've included. a lot of them can cause problems if they're not properly maintained

[bold ibex]

Alright

[topaz pebble]

is there a way to bulk crunch compress textures? i have 3,000 textures im trying to compress in order to optomize my world

[hollow swift]

anyone got a solution to this

[frigid estuary]

I know SDK2 wont be supported anymore, but are there some synchronization issues (AlwaysBufferOne) in SDK2 right now?

[left rain]

this is an old thread and it's DIY but there is a script in the middle of the thread that will do it https://forum.unity.com/threads/editor-utility-crunch-all-textures.504988/

[magic pebble]

Any fix to this?

[left rain]

create a gameobject and put a VRCSceneDescriptor component on it

[hollow swift]

i can't even get the build world control tab

what the fuck have i done

why is it broken

[gray sleet]

How do i downgrade unity hub? It said ti update to the latest version but now that version is super buggy and doesnt work

[left rain]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/easy-decal-decals-everywhere.276629/page-17

this post specifically: https://forum.unity.com/threads/easy-decal-decals-everywhere.276629/page-17#post-5490678

[gray sleet]

unity hub 3.0 is broken. how do i downgrade

[upper obsidian]

Uninstall 3.0 and install the version that works for you

[gray sleet]

not sure where to download older versions. luckily i had an old inlstaller saved

what is this error? ever since i did the 3.0 thingy this has been happening

part of the thing is black / blank and im allways getting an error

[upper obsidian]

https://dropmefiles.com.ua/ru/mYkZzTyAR 2.4.5

[urban epoch]

Seems to be an issue with your present layout. Go to the top right of your screen and click the Layout dropdown, then just select Default and see if that resolves it.

[gray sleet]

oh. ill try that if reinstalling unity hub completely

[urban epoch]

Sometimes different windows will get bugged out and confused, so you'll just have to reset the layout. Nothing in Unity itself is affected by what Hub version you have installed, so there's no connection there.

[gray sleet]

is there an official link to older versions of unity hub?

[upper obsidian]

I threw it off for you already

[gray sleet]

whatever that link you send doesnt download anything

[gray sleet]

plus several things are telling me it contains viruses.

Please send an official link

[urban epoch]

There is no official distribution of legacy Hub versions. What sorts of problems is it having for you?

[gray sleet]

as i sent above. as soon as i downloaded the update. my unity started to break. the black part of the screen and errors

[upper obsidian]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LG2jxuWxtJrHDQJVE_vo0MEYPR9SWVLG/view?usp=sharing

[urban epoch]

Again, there wouldn't be any connection there.

Unity Hub is basically a fancy application opener.

[past wave]

does anyone know why i get this message every time i try to import the world sdk3 into a fresh project? it doesnt stop anything but i doubt its good that i see the message in the first place.

[upper obsidian]

sdk changes some project settings, so it is necessary

[past wave]

interesting, alright

is that a recent change? cause i dont remember seeing this awhile ago.

[upper obsidian]

in 2017 the unity was already

[past wave]

oh i see

[wild vapor]

what do I need to make an avatar world of avatars in my favourites list?

[slow mica]

been trying out to found out how, but how to make a portal to specific numbered map?For reference i'm trying to get a permant spawn portal of a specific map number

[chilly flower]

is there a way to apply a material to just one face of something, instead of the whole thing

[fallen ingot]

You need the 'Blueprint Id' (of each avatar), which you enter into the VRC Avatar Pedestal component. How do you acquire Blueprint Id? You ask the creators for the ID's, you create your own avis, or you can find some online shared by creators.

[wild vapor]

I see..!

[fallen ingot]

Yes, use ProBuilder and you get this nifty little toolbar (after you make your shape/geometry). You want the face button.

[languid ibex]

is there a way of creating an interative button that toggles an object active and inactive for everyone, including late joiners? I'm fairly new to udon and have been struggling for a few (several) hours and haven't been able to decipher the logistics behind making a door vanish for everyone in the world

[bold ibex]

It says my world is too big to upload. How do I fix it?

[upper obsidian]

You can use a variable, you can request a state from the master. There are many videos on YouTube.

[languid ibex]

I figured it out after searching through about four videos, the fancier button prefab I was using was not triggering the udon script to go, so I ended up just putting a box in and calling it a day. Thanks!

[chilly flower]

whats the hotkey to orbit a selected object?

i thought it was ctrl

but it aint doin it

[stone marsh]

F to focus, or double click in your hierarchy.

[bold ibex]

does any one know of any other pens that work in worlds besides qv pens i dont wanna use qv pens

[languid ibex]

does anyone know what the name of that squishy bed/ slime object that squishes when you interact with it is called?

[chilly flower]

is there a way to check how many mb your world will be in vrc

without opening vrc

[opaque vale]

if u find out let me know, is it pc only?

[languid ibex]

turns out it is a shader, just found it.

[shadow sapphire]

Is there a way to disable the avatar preview from loading on a pedestal? I'm working on a menu board that has the pedestals set as images, but whenever the images are loaded (they're hidden inside a submenu and don't render until shown), the avatar previews briefly flash. I've tried setting the placement to a hidden plane but this renders the pedestals inoperable; setting them anywhere except the images with the pedestal component doesn't work at all. I'm currently using a script that disables the previews, but they still briefly appear whenever the game objects are rendered. I'm looking to disable them completely, if at all possible

[upper obsidian]

They can be turned off as objects, and pictures will be loaded only after turning on.

[shadow sapphire]

That's how it's set right now, but the actual avatar preview still shows up when the image is turned on and rendered into the scene

[chilly flower]

Hey so I have a disco ball in a room, but all the light spots from it shine through walls into other rooms

Is there a way to fix this?

Either to get it to stop at walls, or to adjust the distance it shines?

Id rather it stop at walls but ill take what i can get lol

[fallen ingot]

You might get more help if u posted to avatar channels?

[fallen ingot]

Can you send link to where u got the disco ball? - need more info

[random sphinx]

can anyone recommend a good cloud shader?

[chilly flower]

so

This projector projects a beam that moves around

i drew arrows to it

I noticed that it doesnt have a light gizmo for some reason

but theres still some settings it looks like for the properties of the light on the right

it shines through walls

is there a setting i can change there to get it not to do that?

I was playing around with different shaders

perhaps one i missed?

[inner python]

Are you walls solid ? If they aren't, try messing with the shadow resolution or make the light range shorter, I hope it helps. https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/a/46192

[chilly flower]

@inner pythonThe walls are solid :/

Also on another note as well, ik you can rotate a selection, but can you flip it? Like mirror it?

[inner python]

Try anyways,it might help

[inner python]

Just -1 the scale, in the axis where you want to flip it I guess

×-1 I guess is more correct if your initial scale isn't 1

[slow mica]

how does one make a portal to go to a specific instance of a map? i have the world ID and all, but i'm trying to make a permanent portal that goes to one specific instance. (not sure if this is the right thread but it was the closest i could find to my question)

[bold ibex]

How can I turn my mirror to default off?

[mild spade]

You just keep it off before you upload (disable the mirror object)

[tough gazelle]

Is it possible to set the instance owner to a set user (world author) when someone joins&leaves? (so it updates frequently)

[ruby jay]

what are you trying to achieve?

[chilly flower]

I dont even know what that is

or how to make it, stop trying to access it?

wat to i do about this

[bold ibex]

Thanks

Hmmm, so I downloaded vrworldtoolkit and did all of the things it told me to do to reduce world size, so there are no more errors/recommendations coming up. But when I go to upload my world it says it is still too big to upload. What do I do now? 😭

[ruby jay]

have you crunched your textures? there is a mass texture importer

[chilly flower]

What i don’t understand tho, is

See what i drew arrows to

Thats the light source

But there’s no gizmo

As you can see, gizmos is enabled cause the device next to it has one

But without a gizmos

I dont see soft and hard shader settings

Tho there is something there that says shader: standard

I tried monkeying with it, but if thats the solution idk wat to do

Theres also no intensity and range options as far as i can tell

To catch up anyone who’s new, this light is shining through walls

[misty wave]

is there an efficient way to make an object track the local player? I want a particle emitter to follow the local player (rain on them)

[cerulean echo]

@chilly flower what light you selectet the object what you tryng to do you wand to use the emision to light ? Why i see no lights you got selectet only the object

[chilly flower]

if i delete the object the light goes away. im lead to belive the light is made be the object

dispite no gizmo

[cerulean echo]

Also is it not better to ask about light in the lighting chanel.

[chilly flower]

wat

"it is not better to ask in the lighting channel" ....i have a feeling you mean to be telling me that it is better :3

i didnt realize that existed lol

but thats nice

[cerulean echo]

I woundering where the lights comming from maybe from the emision

@chilly flower where the light comming from ? From the emision?

[chilly flower]

the projector i drew arrows to

oh but yes? the emission?

[cerulean echo]

Yes but where the lighting coming from that projector got none light on it i see only the emision but i dont know if the real time emision wen you add more emision it light up but i know on the baked if you make higher the emision it light up

[chilly flower]

the green disc

i hate to do this but its 4am and im gonna crash lol. ill @ u tmrw

thankyou tho

for helping me out

[cerulean echo]

Np maybe wen you on again we can check that pm me then i try maybe i can help you at least i try lol

[bold ibex]

How do I crunch them? I did it once but not all of them. How do i access the texture crunching thing

[ruby jay]

clicking on the texture will bring this window up in the inspector, you can use the mass texture importer on the world debugger to accelerate this chore

[bold ibex]

Word! Thanks a ton

[bold ibex]

When I click get textures from assets it always stops a quarter of the way thru. Does it just take a long time to go?

[ruby jay]

it does take a bit, from scene should work too

[bold ibex]

I did from scene earlier and it went quickly just this assets one takes foreverr

[ruby jay]

you likely have a ton of unused assets

[deft pollen]

Is there a tool to check world details (e.g. file sizes of textures, meshes etc) ? Or do we still have to check the log file on upload?

nvm just found out about VRWorldToolkit

[bold ibex]

only guess is to ask in here, but how do you make textures/materials not have a solid color to it?

Anyone able to help me add mirror toggles, been struggling. The button just disappears when I interact with it ;;

[mild spade]

Show the script on the gameobject. Likely that you are not refencing the mirror object on the script, and instead it is referencing itself (Button)

[bold ibex]

You are indeed right 💀

Thank you

[cursive turtle]

Yo I'm new to world creation, I'm wondering if there is a way I can make a microphone object which collects audio around it and amplifies it into speaker objects around the map

still haven't been able to figure it out

I'm using sdk3

[cursive turtle]

Maybe there is some way to negate the proximity chat (2d audio) somehow

Hi, everyone! I've seen this kind of "shooting range" in many worlds already. Does anyone know if there is a preset for that ? I would like to have one in my world. Thanks in advance !!!! ❤️

[bold ibex]

same^^^

also does anyone know to safely back up my project?

[languid ibex]

does anyone know how to script, or has a guide to how to script an object reset location button for multiple objects?

[upper obsidian]

With the unity turned off, any backup method is safe.

[bold ibex]

How do you turn it off

[upper obsidian]

File - exit

[bold ibex]

Ahh thats what you mean alright

But how exactly can i back it up?

Just copy the folder?

[upper obsidian]

Anything, 7-zip for example

Or just copy the whole thing.

[bold ibex]

Im thinking of copying the folder, putting the original on my HDD and keeping the copied one on my SSD to mess with it

Will that work?

[upper obsidian]

Yes, the whole copy is fully functional. It doesn't matter where it is on the disk.

You can open it in Unity. Everything will be the same.

[bold ibex]

Alright thanks

[round sandal]

im tryna make a campfire and the issue is that its crackling sound is audible throughout the enire world, i dont want that, i want it to only be audible in an about 2 meter radius and then be completely quiet outside of that, how do?

[upper obsidian]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_spatialaudiosource

[round sandal]

this just mutes the audio alltogether it seems like

even though i set gain to like 10 thousand

[stone marsh]

You have to set the Near and Far ranges appropriately

[round sandal]

i set far to 2 and didnt change near

now i got it working to a point where it plays the sound but still incredibly quietly

tried setting far to 5

no change

[stone marsh]

Increase near to 1.

[round sandal]

cant see how thatd help my case but sure lemme try

[stone marsh]

It's quiet because you're spatializing it from a single tiny point in space. Increasing the near will increase the range that the audio is heard at full volume before falloff happens.

[left rain]

near/far set the audio falloff radius. you can see the gizmos in the viewport illustrating this

if it's too quiet even when you're within the near radius, increase gain

[stone marsh]

The documentation linked already explains this all too

[round sandal]

yeah but i think the "full volume" is whats incredibly low

[left rain]

then increase gain

[stone marsh]

a far value of 5 is also pretty small. It will fall off to that point so it would be pretty hard to hear anything at all fairly close to the avatar. You most likely want a much further far value. You won't hear the audio out to your far value, it will falloff to being very quiet far before it hits that value.

Also, Gain maxes out at 10db. so you can't just "Increase gain"

[round sandal]

its a bit weird but eh ill just fuck around and hopefully get smth good idk

[stone marsh]

These are my personal values I use for avatars. They may not work for you, because it's dependent on the base volume of the .mp3.

[left rain]

gain maxes at 10db for avatars, but does that apply to world audio sources?

[bold ibex]

i tried to test my world but its giving me an error saying something about a scene

can someone help?

[left rain]

it's much easier to diagnose errors if you post the error log

[bold ibex]

right sorry

sorry its really small

[left rain]

is that the name of your scene?

[bold ibex]

If you’re talking about room rain then yes lmao

At least I think

Wait no

That’s the project name

Is the scene in the hierarchy the one you’re talking about?

[left rain]

check the build settings menu and make sure you don't have any scenes in there that no longer exist

[bold ibex]

mine looks different

umm

how did you get there?

mine looks like this

[left rain]

file > build settings

[bold ibex]

i think

oh ok

yeah theres nothing

just click add open scenes?

[round sandal]

sorry to interrupt but if someone would answer rq thatd be awesome, so some world have these lil plushies n stuff that basically act as if they were rigged and they have like jiggle physics or whatever, so how does that happen? dynamic bones?

[left rain]

yes

@bold ibex do you have any custom assets or scripts in your world? chances are it's something else upstream that's breaking the build

[bold ibex]

Umm I tried importing a chess board thing. Could that be it?

[left rain]

if it was a unity package with included scripts, it's possible that there's a dependency there you aren't accounting for

[bold ibex]

could be

ill try removing it and testing

ok that let me get into the world but its bugging out now lmao

might be the spawn box

[proven cedar]

im having a issue where some mesh colliders and pick up objects dont work and the pick up objects fall through the floor and the mesh colliders wont stick

[scenic kraken]

Why's there an "avatars-performance" moderation tag on my world when there's no avatars in the world? Are they just fake reports or something?

[bold ibex]

can someone help me? i have a wall on my world where you just go flying right through it. i put up another wall to stop it but you just go between the two walls and get trapped. im also not able to jump. how do i fix that?

[left rain]

if you want to collide against something, you just need to make sure that you have an object with a box collider in it.

[bold ibex]

yeah i have that

[left rain]

you can use mesh colliders, but they're much more expensive. it's better to just place simple box objects, then turn off the mesh renderer components

[bold ibex]

so just an invisible box collider is what youre saying? just turn off the mesh renderer?

[left rain]

yep

don't bother trying to use mesh colliders for things unless you have absolutely no other choice

simple shapes are much easier on the physics engine

[bold ibex]

yeah i tried that and it sorta helped. theres like tiny spots in the wall where you still clip through like 10% of the time. i can just edit the collider i guess

also how do i fix not being able to jump?

[left rain]

i don't know what that's about. it's a built-in behavior.

maybe one of your existing objects has a really messed-up collider?

[bold ibex]

huh im not sure. i was able to fix the wall but yeah jumping is a no go

[opaque vale]

hey! making a new world, would it be better to make the room in blender or unity?

[languid ibex]

what would cause a ui button to work just fine in the cyanemu play mode test, but when you click build and test, it does not work? I have a couple ui switches that work just fine, but when adding others using the same setup but different objects, they just don't?

[mild spade]

Likely a collider blocking the raycast (laser) from the player. Cyanemmu ignores colliders when interacting with UI, but in vrchat the colliders block interaction. You should also check the Layer the UI is on (if you dont even see the reticle when pointing at the UI)

[left rain]

build in blender, then import to unity

[languid ibex]

a collider blocking the raycast.. hmm.. I'll look into that, thank you

[cursive turtle]

for some reason after importing betteraudio I no longer have the VRChat sdk menu

In the drop down it shows 2 things:
utilities
udon graph

[cursive turtle]

There were some errors when importing the better audio

Not sure exactly what my next step is

[mild spade]

What are the errors? You can post a picture of the console tab

[cursive turtle]

There was like 177 errors im posting this post-break

Pretty sure it was a problem with the import

[mild spade]

You did import UdonSharp right?

[cursive turtle]

Fucckkk

I forgot sharp

I have to remove all of my files surrounding the better audio then import shape etc… if I’m correct?

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I am underthemeow and iv been trying to make this world be every time I lunch it it gives me this

This is going to be super general, but does anyone have a recommended Beginners tutorial outside the official docs? For what it's worth I'm a bit familiar with editors like Unity and UE.

[somber spoke]

best ways to find realistic pc worlds that are 150-1000 mbs?

is there a way to allow a player to rotate in a chair?

im trying to make a vehicle which i want to copy the rotation of the player

so the player can move is the same way they move themself

[opaque vale]

let me know if you find any

[plucky summit]

I've been following along with Spookyghostboo's "Start to finish Chill Room" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO-P2OqO1ac_) and I am finding it immensely helpful. But two caveats are: A) They go very, very, very fast so you'd best have at least some familiarity with Unity's UI (And some things have changed spots so Googling is required) and B) It's not SDK3, but honestly it's more about constructing and barely touches SDK2 stuff even

[opaque vale]

is that the 2+ hour one

[plucky summit]

Yes.

[opaque vale]

my adhd could never /j

I'll check it out tomorrow ty

[plucky summit]

Haha, you joke but honestly I struggle with that stuff too. I have some coping mechanisms in place for long videos, but you can always pause it every 15-20 and take a break!

The house I made is a recreation of the house in these pics-
It's my first time making a vrc map, and I wanted to learn a bit of everything, without having to do any architectural thinking of my own. Grabbing this and slapping down a bunch of stuff in the same shots was really fun!

it took a month of learning^^

[opaque vale]

kk gotcha it looks really nice+

!

i have this so far after a day of work

[atomic patio]

tyty!
The photos don't show everything ofc, I learned how to do shaders n skyboxes with code n all this other crazy nonsense, tried learning animations for doors opening, etc

[opaque vale]

mines just gonna be basic, not gonna do any animations or anything probably

[atomic patio]

I ended up scrapping animations for the time being, I don't want ONE project to hold me up forever

I will absolutely come back to them in the future, though!

And it looks great for 1 day's worth, got everything blocked out :3c

[opaque vale]

tbh i think rn the most time consuming is bringing in all the assets and making sure they're the right scale

[atomic patio]

My biggest failure in my map is the file size

One of the rooms, in its' entirety, is one model, unoptimized because I had started with it, not paying attention

mf is 40% of my filesize alone when loading the map

[tardy flicker]

I not really sure what I’m doing lol

[covert hornet]

A interesting things iv noticed, I have a water shader that only operates under deferred not forward rendering and sometimes it works then sometimes it doesn't without reuploading the world

If i remember correctly vrchat only works with forward rendering?

[minor summit]

Heyho :3 I Need help again.. i Think VRChat had changed something on the Bone system already. I Got a few objects like collars on my world that are attach able to avatars... two days ago every thing worked fine - since yesterday the avatars can pushed away with these objects and if you attach them they just fly random though the world. Also the billiard table got now an collider that wasn´t there before. anyone know how to fix these issues?

[unkempt turtle]

ok, lets start from the beginning: what unity version and SDK did you use?

[tardy flicker]

im useing unity 2019.4.31f1 and the sdk is the new one on the site, vrcsdk3-world-2021

it's kinda weird that i can go into the world on test but when i public it, i go into the world and vrchat gives me a big sign that says something went Wong @unkempt turtle

[unkempt turtle]

what did you add to the world?

[tardy flicker]

I made most of the world out of blocks and cubes and free stuff I got off the store like(sky blocks, floor color, wall color) I also put pics of my friends

[unkempt turtle]

a proper screenshot would be better ngl

win + shift + s

[tardy flicker]

thats crazy idk i could do that LOL

im not going to lie iv been working on this for along time lol i suck at it

[unkempt turtle]

how much space do you have on your C drive?

[tardy flicker]

700gb of free space

[hollow swift]

to get the new user tag do i have to be active in vrchat or can i afk

[desert python]

active

[hollow swift]

does vrc+ allow you to upload

[desert python]

i think so, but dont quote

[bold ibex]

reimported the SDK, tried another thing and i still keep getting this error everytime i try to build

cant find any info online about this

just dead end unanswered versions of this

this is what it looks like before i build

then this is what it looks like after i try to build and it fails

[silent rain]

Hello guys, I come seeking your knowledge.

I'm trying to port my map to quest, does anyone have a good guide or resourced on doing so?
Also is my quest version a different unity project (copied and pasted) which I then modify leaving the PC version seperate?

[bold ibex]

when i upload my world, im able to send it to both pc and quest by switching the build target

im not really sure if that's what you're asking about but i figured i'd say it anyways

[silent rain]

Thanks, but does your world have the same graphics on both platforms is the PC version and quest version made separate when you change build target?

[upper obsidian]

Everything is detailed in the documentation.

[bold ibex]

when you switch the build it target, it does some changes to match the platform automatically i believe

i have no issues switching back and forth between windows and android support

[silent rain]

I'll have to take a look, I figure I'm gonna have to do it manually because the PC version is like 300mb and full of high poly models haha.

Thank you!

[upper obsidian]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-optimization

[bold ibex]

not sure if i actually helped but you're welcome anyways

[bold ibex]

but right now this stuff is just really destroying my confidence in doing this

things just keep breaking and there is little to no information on fixes

makes me want to just give up

[upper obsidian]

What exactly is broken there?
Often, errors in the build can be ignored.

[silent rain]

Cheers having a read through now can't believe I missed it

[bold ibex]

i cant build

i literally cant build

every little thing i try to do to fix it just gives me the same error

im trying to build so i can find out what needs to be optimized

but it just wont work

i reimported sdk, didnt work, i deleted sdk and brought it back, didnt work, i try to select editor only, didnt work and it just resets itself. i search the issue online and get 3 relevant results all of which are just asking the same question im asking and not getting a solution

im stuck

my world is unoptimized and it has a very large download size and all i want to do is fix that but i cant get past the first step of doing a build and seeing the report to get started

its very frustrating

[upper obsidian]

VRWorldToolkit Helps to some extent.

[bold ibex]

this size for my small world on pc

[bold ibex]

i tried it, and it seems to have no solution at all for my problem

It is difficult, of course, to give some advice without seeing a unity in front of you.

[silent rain]

Just read through the guide was very useful, one question it didn't cover if anyone knows though.

How do I test the content on my quest? I obviously can't just build a local version like I can for PC, so do I just have to update it publicly unfinished to run on my quest to test it?

[upper obsidian]

Absolutely the same, but without the novr option, and with the quest connected.

[silent rain]

I see thank you

[bold ibex]

nothing is working

im so done

[wispy cloud]

If your console has errors you won't be able to build or it won't build correctly. How exactly is it just "not working", is it saying it's uploading but nothing's changing in game, is it failing in the middle of the upload, refusing to let you upload at all, etc...?

[bold ibex]

after 8 seconds of the build process it fails

and gives me this

@wispy cloud

some error involving the VRCCore editor

[wispy cloud]

Just to check, are you using the newest SDK and the correct version of unity (2019.4.31f1)?

[bold ibex]

yes, i just completely redownloaded the sdk 5min ago and put it in

[wispy cloud]

Alright, Are those your only 3 errors or are there more

[bold ibex]

those are the only 3

[upper obsidian]

If you believe what it says, it says that VRCCore-Editor.dll is already in the project.

[upper obsidian]

Open the project in Explorer, search for VRCCore-Editor.dll
If there are two such files, of course, nothing will work.

[bold ibex]

how can i do that

[wispy cloud]

You can right click on it and "Open in explorer"

it'll take you to the folder that contains it

[bold ibex]

is this what you meant?

[wispy cloud]

yes

and it seems that there is only one in there so that's not it

Unfortunatly I'm not entirely sure how to fix this problem myself and searching the discord doesn't seem to give an answer to the problem either. The only thing I can suggest for the hell of it at this point in my knowledge is to reimport the sdk manually. I would close the project, navigate to the asset files, completely remove the VRCSDK and Udon folders and meta files, make sure there's no trace of it left, open the project and then import the SDK again.

This is probably a bad idea since you've uploaded the world before but it's a good chance of fixing it. Make sure to back up the project if you're going to try it but otherwise I see no other solution.

[bold ibex]

so to make sure i am getting the right files

these ones?

[wispy cloud]

Just the Udon VRChat Examples VRCSDK and VRWorldToolkit since it relies on the sdk anyways. Then make sure you're only deleting the meta files with the same names as those

Definitely don't want to get rid of your scenes or materials

[bold ibex]

How can I make pens global so other players can see each other's drawings

[bold ibex]

Ok

[upper obsidian]

I made a copy of the file and I get the same error. One of the assets might already have a SDK, which the author of the asset moved to another place for convenience. You need to manually search for all the duplicates

[bold ibex]

so i need to search in the explorer for dupes?

this is what i see rn

[upper obsidian]

But, nevertheless, this file alone did not prevent me from uploading the project. Make sure this option is not enabled.

[bold ibex]

under plugins

this is what im trying to do right here btw for extra clarifcatrion

[bold ibex]

as for this one here, is there anything i need to delete from it

[grizzled crater]

I've been wanting to add a panel with buttons so each player changes their own movement speed, only tutorial I've found, I think is outdated? Because when looking for things in the udon graph I can't seem to find the same ones as the tutorial, any ideas or anyone with a tutorial at hand on how to do that?

How to add music into world sdk2

[stone marsh]

Aside from the obligatory "sdk2 shouldn't be used anymore"

You just add a audio source component to your world and insert a .mp3 into it. You can also use a video player such as hangout player or AVPro to play music from Dropbox, GDrive, YouTube or VRCDN, but the stuff for sdk2 is no longer actively being developed and the players are getting dated.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AudioSource.html

[craggy hull]

Well thanks for not being another average sdk3 fan, tend to like sdk2

[stone marsh]

I mean you really shouldn't be using it, and audio is bugged for quest users so they might not be able to control world volume anymore for sdk2.

[craggy hull]

Why not?

[stone marsh]

Because it's deprecated so issues will come up that will not be fixed anymore

[craggy hull]

So far it's been fine for me

I'ma keep using it tho, thanks for the help

[stone marsh]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanTrigger

This script let's you setup triggers like it was in sdk2 but in udon

[craggy hull]

Interesting

[stone marsh]

No worries. You can do as you please. It's just.... Kinda shooting yourself in the foot. But good luck :3

[bold ibex]

@upper obsidian i made a brand new project, brought in the sdk and toolkit and did a test to see if i could do build

exact same issue

with nothing else in the project

there HAS to be some kind of settings issue here

its a little reassuring to know that this isnt just happening to my main world so its unlikely i broke something

[silent rain]

thanks for you guys help earlier @bold ibex @upper obsidian . Got my map on quest and didn't even take long to do!

Admittedly it's not very pretty now but hey atleast it's there haha

[bold ibex]

Fair enough now lets hope my problem can be solved

[tropic cedar]

I need some help. I'm trying to have an interactive button teleport me somewhere using a udon script. The interaction works with vr (as it was a prefab from online), but I can't seem to get a udon behavior to work with teleporting the player after pressing. Can someone help?

[wispy cloud]

Why exactly are you trying to build it like that? If you need to test how stuff will function in-game, you'll either need to use CyanEmu or from the SDK panel use the Build & Test option. If you need to see if stuff is working like music playing correctly then you can simply hit the big play button at the top of the viewport window

[bold ibex]

Thats not what im Trying to do so let me explain,

I was watching a video on how to optimize your world and it said you needed to run a build to get a build report which would show you information about mb size of your materials and assets and such

Then going off that information you can find that materials and assets and modify them

[wispy cloud]

The VRWorldToolkit that you imported does that, but it pulls information when you use the Build and Test option in the SDK panel, not from Unity itself

[bold ibex]

Alright that makese sense. I stopped using build and test because it had always sent me to a weird corrupted version of my world where all the walls and floors were pink

[wispy cloud]

That means that you have a shader issue somewhere for some reason on upload

There's a lot that can be wrong there depending if it's the quest version or not too

[bold ibex]

Alright and may i ask when it comes to shaders

Iv been using legacy shader diffuse which is apparently an old depreciated method, is there a proper way to use shaders?

[wispy cloud]

That depends, is this the quest version of the world or the PC version?

[bold ibex]

Well, both i guess because i switch between build targets when i want to upload

[wispy cloud]

For PC if you don't need any special effects shaders just use Standard. If you're using Quest it's ideal to use anything in the VRChat/Mobile section but I'm not familiar with them off the top of my head.

[wispy cloud]

what's the textures being used in it

ex: diffuse, normal, metallic, etc...

[bold ibex]

okay is that the proper one though?

[wispy cloud]

Not really. Standard is the new version of that and probably looks better too.

[wispy cloud]

But when you build for quest, ideally you'll switch it to one of the VRChat/Mobile shaders since Standard has a lot in it that's just extra stuff not needed.

[bold ibex]

my world is meant for both quest and pc

should i be doing different projects for each version?

[bold ibex]

also is it the 2nd option for this?

[wispy cloud]

Standard (Standard) there is the right one.

And I get that, no you don't need a new project but when you make your world for quest you have to switch your build target or whatever and when you do that you're able to change things that'll only change stuff for the quest version. The quest version has to be more optimized than the PC version. So when you switch it to build for quest (android), using the Standard Lite (VRChat/Mobile/Standard Lite) will help out performance somewhat.

[bold ibex]

alright

so hopefully switching to standard this pink issue will go away

[bold ibex]

also how do i get the information from toolkit after running build and test?

[wispy cloud]

It might there's no telling with that but shouldn't be using legacy shaders anyways ideally

There should be a window you can pop up that I believe says build report on it and it'll contain all the stuff that was bundled into your world

from the VRWorld Toolkit button at the top somewhere

[bold ibex]

alright lemme check

[wispy cloud]

The reason I say it might is because there's so many things that it could be but it's for sure a shader issue somewhere

[bold ibex]

well godo news

good*

all nearly fixed

just gotta check that area

the weird part is

thats an asset there

not a textured floor

nvm

i think ifound the issue

testing

LOL

2 of me

@wispy cloud

[wispy cloud]

World Debugger and then the tab with the info on it is there

[tropic cedar]

Looking to use a box OnPlayerTriggerEnter trigger to play a sound, then after a set amount of time, teleport the player to the next area. Anyone know a good way to do that?

I'm thinking using Animators to set the delay, but I can't think of how to automate the next teleport

[wispy cloud]

No need, graph or U#?

[tropic cedar]

graph, U# teleport from an interactive button is taken care of (thank god)

this is my setup for a triggering door at the beginning of the level.

[bold ibex]

damn that adds up

so its the textures of the assets

[wispy cloud]

Start crunch compressing, clicking on texture will take you to it in the assets window

[bold ibex]

what should the crunch quality be?

[wispy cloud]

Default 50 is fine. If not you can push it up

[wispy cloud]

This should work for your purpose, just make sure to set the delay in seconds on the delay node and it should work like you expect

[tropic cedar]

wow, thank you so much!

i was thinking of doing a delay with animator, and basically moving the trigger with an animator to activate the exit parameters.

[tropic cedar]

So in the code, it activates when the player enters the trigger, but how does it activate the teleport to new area when the delay ends?

[wispy cloud]

By calling that custom event at the bottom

The custom event isn't triggered until the delay in seconds is up. So in this case if you set the delay to be 5 seconds, the player enters the trigger, the sound plays immediately, and then 5 seconds later that custom event is called which teleports the player

[tropic cedar]

cool! that's exactly what im looking for thank you!

[bold ibex]

@wispy cloud thanks so much man its been soooo many hours just tryign to figure this out and now its all coming together and working finalllllly

iv done a few textures already and its dropped a ton of mb!

[wispy cloud]

Glad to hear. Crunch compression is pretty much essential with a lot of textures if they're all separate and over 1024x1024. Huge savings in file size with that alone

[bold ibex]

can someone give me a link to a good chess board prefab?

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/emymin/EmyChess

[bold ibex]

thanks

[wary token]

Hey so is there a way to get video files working in a world using the video player component still? My builds are not playing the video, but in editor it works.

This used to be as simple as putting it in, now its broken?

[bold ibex]

does anyone have a better chair prefab they know of?

[bold ibex]

Or just any that’s better than the default?

[cyan pike]

having chairs disabled by default then toggled on later chair script doesnt turn on with them

[wary token]

Its only playing the first frame of the video in game after using a different file?

[bold ibex]

What

[cyan pike]

i have chairs disabled on load i have button to toggle chairs back on but the vrc_station script doesnt work when i do that

[bold ibex]

oh youre asking for help. got it

sorry

did you do the udon graph and everything?

[cyan pike]

its the prefab sdk gives u

[bold ibex]

like the chairs?

[cyan pike]

yea

[bold ibex]

yeah you have to do something with the udon graph

im not sure if you did that yet

[cyan pike]

eh not going to worry about it than

[versed glade]

sorry 2 interrupt but has anyone experienced an issue with invisible portal markers? i used to be able to see the collider when using the move tool but now i cant. the game object is active

shouldnt be an sdk issue bcus i just updated sdk and unity and started a fresh project

[wispy cloud]

Don't disable the chair script or the object the script is attached to, just disable the collider.

[cyan pike]

i have the chairs under a parent gameobject which i toggle on/off

[bold ibex]

can someone tell me how to make a toggle for music?

i have this but it just makes the button disappear

[left rain]

if the audiosource component exists on the button itself, separate it. you want to pass a reference to a separate object if you're going to use SetActive, since that will disable the whole object and not just a component of it.

[bold ibex]

the audio source is just near the button

how do i do that?

[mild spade]

Make sure the "AudioSource" public variable on the script is not referencing itself

[tropic cedar]

how did you get Set playerToTeleport, also, what is the playerToTeleport mean?

[bold ibex]

sorry im not sure what that means

?

[wispy cloud]

In the top left of that image I show the parameters, make sure to copy those as well. You need to store the player you want to teleport if you want it to be delayed. The player you want to teleport is the one that enters the trigger. You wouldn't need to store it if you were teleporting them instantly, but because you're delaying the teleport, you need to tell the code which player to teleport. So you store the player that enters the trigger, so that you can teleport them later.

[mild spade]

Check the script itself on the button. (Udon behaviour) there will be a place called "AudioSource" you need to plug the audio source there, so the script has a reference to the audio source gameobject. Make sure it is there and not empty, will say something like (none , self) if it is empty

[tropic cedar]

ok, how do you get a set node for that specific one?

nvm

[wispy cloud]

Click and drag it from the Variables list into the graph, and before you release hold control

[tropic cedar]

Ok, and is the audio source object deactivated and will activate upon the play node, or is it the audio source that is activated on the play node?

[surreal nebula]

upload keeps failing, possibly from slow internet. Anyway to get it to upload without failing

[bold ibex]

I accidentally got rid of the inspector lmao. How do I get it back?

also i got the music toggle to work

thanks a lot! @mild spade

[mild spade]

Im glad! Also you can click the vertical dots on the corners of tabs, then click add tab-- inspector. Then you can drag the tab anywhere you want.

[bold ibex]

ahh there we go

thanks!

now i have a problem with the video player im using lmao

it wont let me click anything

i think im using the usharp video player

[tropic cedar]

@wispy cloud ok, it doesn't seem to work. I've put in the variables for the udon behavior, but it doesn't teleport.

[wispy cloud]

What does your graph look like and what does it look like with the object selected in the inspector window

[tropic cedar]

Wait, i think i missed a line between the trigger enter and setting the playertoteleport

[mild spade]

Do you see the little arrow when pointing to the UI buttons? If not make sure the buttons are not inside a wall or collider (sorry about that sticker thing im not sure what happened lol)

[bold ibex]

no theyre not there

lmao its all good

let me see if its in a wall

ok it was just in a wall lmao

its fixed now

[tropic cedar]

Is there a way to have a sound play depending on if someone sees an object? i'm trying to make a gag where a voice hides an object, and acts all cocky, then the player turns around and sees the oobject, and the voice says "dammit..."

[wispy cloud]

using MeshRenderer.IsVisible I believe.

[misty wave]

Question for anyone that may know

I have an asset I'd like to sell that relies on a material using Poiyomi shader and CyanTrigger

If someone were to buy it, they would simply import Poiyomi and Cyan first, then import mine, and it would all work right?

[tropic cedar]

does anyone know how to fix this? i'm looking to make a trigger throughout the hall, but not the tiny room. If i make two triggers, one for the bottom one, and one for the left, the action that's assigned to the trigger happens twice...

[mild spade]

By triggers, do you mean trigger colliders? Like when a player enters a trigger collider?

[tropic cedar]

hm, can you help a bit? i have this setup:

[dreamy walrus]

Hi all! I'm working on a program that produces generative auto-reactive visuals. I'm interested in being able to create a world where these visuals are displayed. The program is written in Rust and renders using OpenGL (or similar, depending on the platform). What are my options for displaying its output in a VRChat world?

[upper obsidian]

None.
There are shaders. There is udon sharp, there is direct 11.
Other platforms are not connected.

[dreamy walrus]

Gotcha, too bad. Thanks for the info!

[chilly flower]

hey super simple question

my view in unity is tilted

how do i untilt it lol

ello

[upper obsidian]

Shall we tilt the whole world or just view in the editor?

[chilly flower]

@upper obsidian cause ya as you can see there lol

the view is tilted

view in the editor

or anybody? lol

if you know how to untilt the view

[wet pewter]

hey! making my first world here and trying to figure out how to make ladders where when you walk up to them people just walk up it? idk what to do

[tidal ridge]

That should just happen…

Model your ladder. Make sure it has a mesh collider component on it if it’s an imported model, or a series of box-colliders on it if you made it directly in unity.

As long as it has a slight angle to it, people will be able to climb up just walking into it.

[wet pewter]

ahhh! I just made it straight up

[toxic laurel]

anyone know any good Chalk Board (Or pens that only write when touching an object) prefabs out there?

[latent vector]

anyone know where i can get those flower pens?

[cobalt barn]

how do i get started making a world?

[cobalt barn]

k thx

[covert hornet]

Mmm, other then getting a quest, is there any way to launch vrc in quest mode (whilst using a pc) to look at a quest version of a world?

[green lagoon]

nope

[chilly hawk]

Quest compatibility.
Other than getting the size under 50MB, using baked lighting and using Quest shaders (also minimal use of transparent ones), what is essential?

[cerulean echo]

You mean under 100

[chilly hawk]

I've been told I need atlas textures with the following info:

you need to unwrap the entire thing, UV Map it properly, redo all the texturing in blender, then bake it all

[chilly hawk]

VRChat docs say 50MB:

You should be aiming for a maximum of 30-40 MB. You cannot upload or access worlds that exceed 50MB in size after build-time compression for VRChat Quest.

[cerulean echo]

Thay max to 100 or thay change it again?

Would be weard

[chilly hawk]

The page is almost 2 years old 🤷🏻‍♂️

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-optimization

[cerulean echo]

I remeber last year thay changet maybe it not telling it ther why thay not update it

[chilly hawk]

No idea. I'm sure someone here can clarify.

[cerulean echo]

Found it announcements 9.11.2021 it say max 100

Under improvements

[tardy flicker]

idk

my world just wont run lol nomatter what i do 😦

[magic pebble]

when I press build and test it send me back to my homeworld,\

[upper obsidian]

check the console, there is a lot of useful information

[tardy flicker]

when i lunch in publish it says something went wong

[magic pebble]

it says this

[upper obsidian]

Before switching to android, you need to install an add-on

[magic pebble]

witch one?

and how do I install it?

[upper obsidian]

UnitySetup-Android-Support-for-Editor-2019.4.31f1

[magic pebble]

this?

[upper obsidian]

no

[tawdry gorge]

Ay short question which unity version do I need for the sdk I am so confused ._.

[upper obsidian]

In the unity build settings, select android, click download there.

[magic pebble]

where?

[magic pebble]

ah-

[upper obsidian]

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

[magic pebble]

now it wants windows apparently

[upper obsidian]

By clicking the button there, you need to download, install the addon and restart the unity.

[magic pebble]

ah

[upper obsidian]

Then in SDK it will be possible to switch

[gentle island]

do you need dyanmic bones if you want something to move in the world??

[magic pebble]

Now what?

[upper obsidian]

Everywhere you need to install mobile shaders that go to SDK, well, or read the documentation, what else is possible.

[magic pebble]

for the shaders?

[upper obsidian]

Android needs mobile shaders on all materials

Some are already included in the SDK kit.

[cobalt barn]

how do i make my world quest compatible?

[magic pebble]

where do i install the mobiel shaders?

[upper obsidian]

already installed

[magic pebble]

where do i get them set?

[upper obsidian]

On all materials

[upper obsidian]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/creating-content-for-the-oculus-quest

[cobalt barn]

wait so how do i add the mobile shaders?

[cobalt barn]

thanks

[upper obsidian]

Look for the rest on the Internet, but maybe not everything will work.

[round sandal]

hey so polybrush (prefab scattering tool specifically) is refusing to work properly?

like i can scatter prefabs on literally any mesh EXCEPT the ground where yknow, the grass would actually be

[magic pebble]

so all the errors are gone with the mobile shaders but I can't test it

[round sandal]

screenshot of the terrain

the error it gives me is Look rotation viewing vector is zero UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr)

yes, i did try looking it up, but all the answers were "if your script is having this error, then..." but its not my script having it, its a built in unity package

if i put the word "polybrush" in quotations when searching it either gave me irrelevant results or japanese ones (which i dont speak)

and heres proof that i can scatter it on a different mesh and having it produce no errors whatsoever

[magic pebble]

just not letting me

[round sandal]

you can only test if the build target is windows since testing takes place on your windows computer im fairly sure

[upper obsidian]

@round sandal Polybrush basically works well only with primitives, no need to expect miracles from it.

[round sandal]

not expecting miracles, just expecting to do its job

i was told it can scatter prefabs on a terrain, and thats exactly what im asking it to do

[magic pebble]

just takes me to my home world

[round sandal]

what does

switching target to windows?

[magic pebble]

Its set to windows yea

[round sandal]

screenshot?

[magic pebble]

when I press build and test just loads me into my home world

nothing i can really screen shot

[upper obsidian]

This is how it should be in a local test

[round sandal]

yeah i mean thats a bruh moment and a half

[round sandal]

is it? never done that to me

[magic pebble]

wait so just takes you to your home world, how do you load into your world?

[round sandal]

you can probs find it in worlds menu

[magic pebble]

ight
