world-development

[south orbit]

well then it is most likely what kevbal wrote, u must have some conflicting scripts that break the sdk
i didnt know this was a thing tho is prob because i usually dont have broken scripts lol,
tho i did have it disappear for me before but it was mainly because of the import order aswell as sometimes it just can cause a loop or so and fail to import properly like that .

[rustic turret]

For anyone having issues with particles following the Player's Head Roll you can disable Allow Roll in the Rendering section of a particles system to have the particle only follow the Player Head's X&Y axis only.

[tawdry egret]

Is there a way to have your world in development while your in it at the same time?

[opaque geyser]

I just started but I'm curious too, now the proper way is to build it

before you can play with your modified version, so you mean build in real time?

[analog wyvern]

vrchat control panel not showing despite having sdk3 installed

[tawdry egret]

Yes

[tawdry egret]

Ive had this problem before, I believe you need to import it the way they say to import it, and make sure you are on the correct version, I missed doing the correct version which made me produce the problem

[analog wyvern]

got it working had to reinstall, something bugged maybe udonsharp broke it

[tawdry egret]

ah okay

[analog wyvern]

whats a good scale for a world? i feel like mine is alright but still a little off,

i want it to be roomy but also not too big

[tawdry egret]

Idk how scaling works unfortunately

[green lagoon]

if it's helpful for reference a Unity cube is 1 meter tall

[tawdry egret]

Im just freeballing rn and testing it to see if it looks good to me

[analog wyvern]

thats what im doin too

guess ill keep testin

[green lagoon]

and a capsule is 2 m tall and also the shape a vrchat avatars collider is

[tawdry egret]

The cube thing is a good idea

So scaling in unity is in meters?

[green lagoon]

yes

[tawdry egret]

alright great

[green lagoon]

so if you type like 2 into the scale of a cube it'll be 2 m tall

[tawdry egret]

Alright

[green lagoon]

also probably good idea to import a human Avatar so you're not trying to eyeball the proportions with no scale reference

[tawdry egret]

Alright

isnt one of them in the sdk?

[green lagoon]

I'm not quite sure

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/robots/space-robot-kyle-4696

[tawdry egret]

thank you

[green lagoon]

I know technically not human but close enough so you're not ending up with like ridiculously tall ceilings

[tawdry egret]

yeah

Question... If you wanted to setup like 9 cameras in a world to uses as a kind of surveillance system that is still performant, what would you do to make that happen? Looking for ideas.

[white moon]

you would want them all turned off for everyone by default, and only turn on one camera at a time specifically for the person viewing the 'security' screen

even better if you just have the one camera and actually just move it between a list of positions in the world instead of multiple cameras

[simple palm]

Is there a guide to convert to convert SDK 2 worlds to SDK 3?
I just get lot of errors if I try

[bold copper]

Hey all, I just updated this world I made with a performance optimization update, so if you see this then come check it out and tell me if you like it!

https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_2c5fb602-5570-41c7-89ba-e709e52c6925

[faint geyser]

hey how do i customize the TV name and have it work on the VideoPlayerSwap
i only want 3 screens available
(this is on the asset ProTv)

[kind leaf]

Sort of, if you pay for it there is a 2 -> 3 converter using CyanTriggers. If you go about it yourself, there is no simple way. Cleanest way is to export your scene and not include any 2 references. Start a new project with 3 and import the scene and rebuild functionality in Udon/with prefabs.

[tardy wadi]

Is there a way to limit the FPS or resolution of these cameras so that we can have them all on at the same time? This is the kind of point of the thing I'm building. I need camera previews... not necessarily full-res video.

[green lagoon]

question do you need avatars to show up in the preview

[faint geyser]

no

[tardy wadi]

Preferably, if you were talking about my question.

[green lagoon]

yes I was referring to your question as if you didn't eat the avatars you could just pre-record some gifs for the cameras

[tawdry egret]

Is there a way to add music to a world from a livestream or a video link?

[green lagoon]

you just have the video players start when you go into the world with a video with the music

[tardy wadi]

Yeah it might be my fallback to do that... But seeing as I'm building a live TV studio... I would prefer pushing live things to Render Textures.

[tawdry egret]

Can I make it so only the first person who joins starts it and when someone else joins it just stays where it is

[green lagoon]

that's a helpful context

[green lagoon]

in that case I would suggest having it to where you have to turn on the monitors

[white moon]

I believe most if not all video players (for udon at least, i havent used sdk2) support a default link which will load when the world starts

[tawdry egret]

alright

[tardy wadi]

That also makes it hard... In a TV studio, the booth needs to be able to see all live video feeds at once so they can switch the live camera.... I'm trying to build a system to get all of the camera viewports visible at the same time.

[green lagoon]

I guess I'm just trying to say make it so random people joining the world don't have the cameras running when they don't need them

you can also make stuff toggle locally so the people in the studio booth actually can look at the cameras but like the person being interviewed doesn't

[tawdry egret]

The way video players work confuse me so much

[quasi fern]

So I have a random unity question. Does VRC need you to use a specific render pipeline to work (the built-in render pipeline)? Or will it work fine with URP or HDRP? I’m still very new to unity, and I know very little about how render pipelines work. All I know is I keep finding unity shaders and materials that say they are built for URP, but I don’t know if switching the render pipeline will mess things up, or if the VRC SDK even cares. Thanks in advance 🙂

[ruby jay]

you can only use built-in when you make content for vrchat

[quasi fern]

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info. I was worried that was the case. So anyone have any shaders they recommend to use instead of the standard shader that work with the built in render pipeline?

[green lagoon]

what particular problem are you having with the standard Shader

[quasi fern]

Not a problem just found shaders that do specific things in the asset store that I will eventually need to use I think. I’m trying to accomplish things like god rays through water surface, animated underside of water surface, dripping condensation or rain on glass….

But the ones I found that do those things are only for URP.

[green lagoon]

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/fake-glass add this can handle rain on glass and run in vrchat

[quasi fern]

Oh awesome

[green lagoon]

https://vrcprefabs.com/ this website is a database of vrchat prefabs which includes custom shaders @quasi fern

[ruby jay]

yea you are limited to forward rendering too

[quasi fern]

Oh thank you so much. I was having a difficult time figuring out where to get good shaders for specific things that require animation

[green lagoon]

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/XSVolumetrics

[quasi fern]

Would that last one work well for adding in the foggy appearance you would see looking out under water? Like how it looks cloudy?

[green lagoon]

https://www.patreon.com/posts/32252234 this water Shader had some of the stuff you were mentioning

[quasi fern]

Oh nice

Not sure if the free version has all the features…but if I can’t find a free one that does what I need, $5 isn’t a lot to spend to support the creator and get what I need 🙂

You’ve been super helpful rainwolf. Thank you!

[green lagoon]

glad to be of help

[oblique crypt]

Hello 👋 Does anyone know if people on my blocklist are able to join worlds I own?

It would be nice to have a permanent ban list for my world. 😄

[upper obsidian]

Make this list yourself, check the id of the players through udon, and redirect them home world

[ruby jay]

do not use udon to establish an all-instance scoped black list, it's not how we are intended to use udon

[ruby jay]

yea, here is it https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/udon-moderation-tool-guidelines#guidelines

If you moderate someone, it MUST be because of something they did in this instance. Apply your moderation effects ONLY as the result of specific behaviors personally witnessed in the current instance of the world. In other words, you cannot have a user blacklist or whitelist. This includes (but is not limited to) creating a list based off someone's name or player properties.

[clear frost]

Im trying to upload a map and it gets stuck on creating file version record, any reason why it gets stuck at this?

[oblique crypt]

Oh, thanks for sharing this. I own an LGBTQ+ world, and as you can imagine plenty of homo- and transphobic trolls join daily who just harass and plague everyone in the world. In one serious instance I even considered reporting someone to law enforcement, for a highly concerning behaviour. However it seems moderation tools I was thinking about are against the rules, so as annoying as it is, rules are rules I guess.

[willow canyon]

There can be quite a lot of reasons, some extra info could be helpful

[clear frost]

What info would be needed exactly

[willow canyon]

Something like what the world is, it can be as simple as a material issue, a typical "Unity doesn't work for today" issue, or something else entirely. Have you tried restarting Unity? Most likely already tried that I assume

Unity has a mind of its own sometimes, as sad as it is

[ruby jay]

i can understand what you mean and it is a serious problem indeed

[clear frost]

It has a lot of just these trigger not initailsing in time

[willow canyon]

Are you using skd2 or sdk3

sdk2*

[clear frost]

Sdk 2

Its a combat map using triggers

[willow canyon]

Well I can't really help, I'm not very good at sdk2, but I'm sure you can find someone to help

[clear frost]

Okay, thank you

do i just leave this here and hope someone sees it?

[willow canyon]

Post it in #event-system-sdk2 I think that could increase your chances

Though I have bo idea if events and triggers are the same (I use sdk3)

[clear frost]

I do mostly

Just idk how to do a working combat system for 3.0 so im stuck using the old 2.0 stuff i made

[cold aurora]

Hello so I am currently putting the KwikEMart from the simpsons hit and run in a vrc world.
I have all the textures, the obj file and the mtl file but i don't know how to apply the textures in unity

Can anyone help me?

[floral marlin]

Does anyone know why when you uploaded a world it doesn't show up in your worlds and then when you try to go to the world it auto sends to back to home?

[cold aurora]

??

[cold aurora]

Guys I need help because I uploaded my game (The Kwik E Mart) to vrc but when i try to join the world it says initialising then puts me into home what is wrong with my world?

[late wigeon]

A friend and I accidentally figured out why I was getting double vision in my worlds. I started the unity project as VR instead of 3D

[late wigeon]

Try clearing your cache

[oblique crypt]

Anyway to rollback a change?

Feels like I should git it.

[cold aurora]

So my Kwik E Mart works but it is only a quest world. How do i make it so both pc and quest players can play

see rn its only a quest

i want it to be both quest and pc, but mainly quest

[oblique crypt]

You have to switch to Windows mode

Like the way it says for me "Switch Build Target to Android"

[cold aurora]

back to windows mode, ok

[oblique crypt]

And then Build & Publish for Windows

[cold aurora]

will that make it a pc and quest game

[oblique crypt]

Yeah

Whenever you make a change you have to publish to android, and then switch build target to windows, and build & publish for windows.

[cold aurora]

ok

thanks for the help

[agile quarry]

Hello, is it possible to create worlds for vrc without any vr headset?

[left rain]

yes, but you're going to have to be particularly careful about world scale when you can't really see it for yourself

measure carefully

[chrome monolith]

How do I make a statue avatar pedestal? I've been trying to figure out how to get this to work, but I only came close enough but still haven't got it to work.

[near escarp]

Definitely rely on git/plastic for version control

[oblique crypt]

I wonder if these will cause issues in some way? My world is completely safe for work, and for all ages, but homophobes and transphobes maliciously report the world.

[tight tulip]

Hi how do I make a object when placed In in a spicific spot it plays a particle animation?

[fathom cargo]

Could I have someone clarify what resolution the game likes for image uploads/world previews banner image?

[indigo birch]

Hey so i meed a tablet that is easy to make “ apps “ i was useing haruna tab but it is very complicated and crashes unity aloy

Any prefabs available

[indigo birch]

Honestly spawn a wall with your image and point the vrc cam object at it thats what i did

[fathom cargo]

We are using a specific image and not cam.

[indigo birch]

Right with vrchat durring upload it spawns a object called vrcam this is what the image comes from durring upload hence why i said to spawn a wall with your image on it

Easyest way

[fathom cargo]

Having a finite resolution is infinitely easier. Thanks man.

[white moon]

There's an example one provided in the world sdk, you just need to swap out the avatar id for the one you want on it.

[indigo birch]

Np this is the way i did it wish they just had an upload icon to it

[ebon raven]

Hey! Does anyone here know how to get maps from gmod? I was able to get one but a lot if if is the same mesh, if anyone knows how to fix this that would be amazing

[loud solar]

My world just keeps loading repeatedly

[solemn hatch]

have you put a floor in it and are you falling constantly?

[loud solar]

I have a floor

Idk

[solemn hatch]

if your falling constantly and keeps reloading you need to set the floor as a collider

[loud solar]

Ok

[tight tulip]

Hi how do I make a object when placed In in a spicific spot it plays a particle animation?

[old crow]

How can I make a system to make a player float up?

[median egret]

working on a new world rn,. Getting low fps and I can’t seem to figure out why. I tried optimizing models and everything but even by myself in the world I get low frames.

[old crow]

Drawcalls.

Your models aren't the issue. @median egret

Cut down on your drawcalls.

[median egret]

tbh not sure how I can lower them more

[old crow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU3au56UV_E

[kind stump]

Does anybody know if there's a changelog for the sdk, or is that only published for the client?

[white moon]

What are your drawcall numbers where you get the low fps?

[median egret]

where do I see again?

[white moon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/RenderingStatistics.html

[median egret]

ah batches

uh

[white moon]

Enable that and have a walk around the world (assuming you have cyan emu installed)

Yea batch = drawcall

[analog wyvern]

whats a good way to add background terrain/stuff but stay optimized?

or should i just not do it, im kind aiming for realism tho

[median egret]

214

[white moon]

That's actually not bad. Hmm. What are the other stats? polys etc

screenshot the thingy

[white moon]

Hmm, thats not bad. I assume you havent got any dynamic lights running?

[median egret]

I have a feeling I might know what it is then tbh, a feature that you can toggle on and off I was using but seems to be laggy :/

[ruby jay]

the changelogs they release include both

[kind stump]

now that you mention it I've definitely read those, but does that mean that they only release new sdk's when they push out a game update?

I guess in most cases that would make more sense

[ruby jay]

they often unify them but i assume it's not a mandatory rule
i like to say they did sdk only updates before

[shell ingot]

Hello.. How many hours should I spent in VRChat for getting creator previlages ? I made a world but not able to upload. I have been roaming in VRchat for last 3 days !!

[tawdry egret]

Im trying to make these control the music, I believe I have how to make them function properly, but how do I add text to the top of them telling players what they are for?

[supple drift]

UI - unless you mean interaction text; that automatically shows up if the Interact is configured

[tawdry egret]

oh okay

With UI text can you change the color and emission?

[tawdry egret]

I believe you are required to have the New User rank. If you already have that and still dont have privileges then just keep playing the game and add friends. The purpose of waiting to be a creator is to have trust in the players to create on the game, you should be able to have privileges soon.

[coral granite]

Trying to start making a world, i downloaded the Unity version and SDK3-WORLD from the website, but on import it said things needed updating then spat out these errors, in an empty project. Should i be worried, and how do i fix them?

[winter tusk]

adding the world spawn point fixed it for me

[coral granite]

Should i do that before importing the SDK? The project is empty before then, i'm not sure what to add; tried an empty, but no change.
Here's what the update needed dialogue box looks like, in case that's relevant

[upper obsidian]

The temp directory is not available for its normal operation.

[upper obsidian]

YEs

[coral granite]

The temp dir seems writable, disk has 10GB free, although after the update process ends with the same 10 console errors the file mentioned is not present; lots of similarly named ones, all 0 byte, assume that's normal

It's weird that it's saying "Update Required" for the latest SDK isn't it? Or is that normal?

[hasty edge]

What is this symbol and why is it in my face

How do I get rid of it

[upper edge]

for what im creating it requires thousands of objects but it makes it lag, is it possible to reduce the lag?

[rustic turret]

That is your post processing object.
You can hide the icon by opening the Gizmos drop down on the Scene view and uncheck the icon.

[hasty edge]

Thank you!

[desert cloud]

Hey, I'm trying to change ownership when a player presses a button. I don't know what im doing wrong at the request! Can anyone tell my how and what I'm doing wrong? :)

[ruby flume]

Greetings, after uploading my word privately while i am in the game i am not allowed to join in. I only have a black screen and it teleports back into the default word. How can i fix?
Obviously while testing it trought the SDK i dont get any problems there

[upper obsidian]

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

[ruby flume]

Im running the supported unity version

the 2019.4.36f1

[upper obsidian]

The current Unity version in use by VRChat is Unity 2019.4.31f1.

[ruby flume]

31f1?

mine is 36f1

could it be the problem?

[remote bobcat]

if 34f1 gives problems than 36f1 gives them in anyway too

use right version

you shouldn't get any errors from converting 36 to 31

[ruby flume]

So the right version is 31f1 not 36 right?

[remote bobcat]

yup

[heavy tusk]

im having the same issue and have been having it for the last day or so 😔
Build & Test works fine

[ruby flume]

Your running the 2019.4.31f1?

[heavy tusk]

yeah

[ruby flume]

Damnn

let me know if you manage to fix it

ill struggle with it

[heavy tusk]

I will, I came here to ask the same question as you, glad to know im not the only one experiencing this :p

[ruby flume]

Maybe we are just newbies by doing it

Something is wrong in the creating process and modelling

Ill start building one again from 0

If I cannot manage to solve the problem

[indigo birch]

Hey is there a bug with unity after running disk part on windows cause unity keeps hanging on me randomly

Also is there a way to remove my world from quest to make it pc only

[bold ibex]

Hi i can't build my world it's normal ?

[indigo birch]

Sometimes it takes a lil bit makesure you are on the correct unity version and try turning off future proofing that usally works for me

Just be sure to upload it when building the outher version ie turn off for windows and then turn on for quest and vice versa

Note you dont need it on but it could be fairly helpful in future

[bold ibex]

But the thing is that the window closes and nothing after and no console error

[oblique crypt]

Does my login credentials in VRChat SDK (in Unity) are stored somewhere within that folder & pushed to Github? 🤔

(I'm using Github's Unity gitignore)

[upper obsidian]

No

[ruby flume]

How can i import a sky texture on my word?

Do i have to create like a limited space and put a material on all sides or there is something to do it better?

[upper obsidian]

Set the texture to 3d in the inspector and use it like a regular skybox.

[ruby flume]

Could you be more detailed about it? How can i set it as 3d?

[ruby flume]

Its not as detailed as your

I only have the render queue option

Oh nvm got it thanks for helping!

[ruby flume]

I did it but the quality of the texture is really low, how can i restrict the area of it?

The max size parameter is not letting me having an hd texture

[ruby flume]

I have a question, why does my surface takes only 1 pixel of the material i put in?

[green lagoon]

probably cuz of your UV unwrap or your material tiling settings

[ruby flume]

i tryed different materials and its doing the same with all of them

[green lagoon]

then you definitely have a weird UV unwrap on your object

[ruby flume]

How can i fix that?

[green lagoon]

change the uvs of it in blender

and question did you make the object or did you just download it off the internet

[ruby flume]

Dowloaded it off

I just wanted to replicate a 3d model in unity

So i cant edit the UV unwrap

[green lagoon]

that might explain why it's weird

[ruby flume]

Can i check your dms?

[green lagoon]

then you might want to grab a different one if you're not in the mood to go poking around blender

[ruby flume]

Yeah im not in the mood i am just a beginner, it takes a lot of time to do everything since i have a bad average knowledge

[green lagoon]

then yeah go see if you can find a different object that serves you need

[tight tulip]

Hi how do I make a object when placed In in a spicific spot it plays a particle animation?

[silent aspen]

here's progress from what I've been doing ❤️ thoughts so far?

[chilly flower]

How do I delete all collisions in my unity world at once?

[near escarp]

Type t:meshcollider in the hierarchy search bar, and right click delete the component on any object

repeat for all types of collider component names

[chilly flower]

So

If i right click>delete that, it wont delete the rack?

Just its collision?

@near escarp i dont follow cause the rack got deleted

[near escarp]

You are supposed to delete the component on the objects

Not the objects themselves

[chilly flower]

How do I do that?

[near escarp]

By right clicking the mesh collider component ?

You know the inspector, to the right ?

[chilly flower]

ohh yeah

[bold ibex]

is there a way to test the world without launching vrchat everytime?

[chilly flower]

Is there a way for me to delete the collision component for everything at once tho?

[bold ibex]

i saw someone test a world from within unity just by pressing the play button

does anyone know how to do this?

[near escarp]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

[near escarp]

Yes, by selecting all objects in the hierarchy

[bold ibex]

ok thanks

[chilly flower]

I imported a pack of things that animate and somehow I did something and the prefabs dont animate anymore. Is there a way to reset the settings back to default? I have no idea what i changed

Or even re-import them for default settings...?

[white moon]

delete them and reimport the pack should fix it

[chilly flower]

is there a way to reimport them so they all get placed where they are rn in the scene, or will i have to re-place all the prefabs from scratch

[white moon]

From what i remember as long as you dont delete the actual objects from the scene when you reimport them it should be fine. But im not 100% sure.

[chilly flower]

what the hotkey for moving to whatever you have selected again

[stone marsh]

F

[bold ibex]

also what do i have to download to switch my thing to android

[fleet isle]

Hi I made avatars (that are still in progress) an world (that is still in progress) and then when I updated my computer all my files were deleted, how do I back then up?

[stone marsh]

Don't cross post

[tight tulip]

how do I make a object when placed In in a spicific spot it plays a particle animation?

[chilly flower]

I need to set up a trigger where if you go through a doorway, the room your entering loads. If you leave the room, the room unloads. I only need this for one room. Would someone mind helping me out?

[stone marsh]

Area trigger. Box collider set to is trigger on mirror reflection layer logic on trigger enter toggle game object state.

There are plenty examples of this. Jetdogs prefabs has one

[white moon]

You could set up a collider there, and when your object collides with that collider, it plays the animation, or you could calculate the distance between your object and that point and when its below a certain amount play the animation

[stone marsh]

Pretty much same thing above actually lol

On trigger stay check specific layer. Set pickup to that specific layer

[bold ibex]

does anyone know what i can do to fix this

[mild spade]

You fix the other errors that you get before that

[bold ibex]

Any advice? I have an issue. Whenever I attempt to join my VRChat world it just boots me back to my home world. This happens on both PC and Quest.

• Yes I have configured spawn.
• I am using the right version of Unity.
• Clearing the cache did nothing.
• Spawn is an empty gameobj.

The world is a simple spawn, platform and mirror toggle.
I get no error messages, it just gives me a loading screen and then another loading screen and then Im in my home world.

[white moon]

Have you tested it with CyanEmu?

[bold ibex]

Yup

Works fine with the emu.

[white moon]

Things to check:

• No errors in your console
• got the latest vrc world sdk

[bold ibex]

No errors.

Got the latest SDK.

[white moon]

That is weird. have you tried making a new project to test if it keeps happening?

[bold ibex]

yup

keeps happening

[sacred zodiac]

So I have this issue where if people stay in my world for long, the audio/voices of people started to glitch and becomes like a world audio for some reason, is this because of the Spatial Audio?

[white moon]

Do you have anything in your world that changes the player voice settings?

[white moon]

Then i got no idea. Sorry. 😅

[sacred zodiac]

nope

Then again I did remove Spatial Audio in some of my audio sources

[white moon]

Im not aware of other audio sauces effecting the player audio, but i wouldnt put it past unity doing something weird like that

[tight tulip]

How would I do that?

[white moon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collision-gameObject.html

i believe should do it

[tight tulip]

I don’t use or know how to read or make scripts

[left rain]

better learn

[white moon]

It's the same object names for udon nodes too, but those are the two options

[copper zinc]

Anyone looking for work Atm

?

[left rain]

getting really close to completing this one

[south orbit]

weeew my guy that is looking really great, good job 👍

[gritty fossil]

does anyone know how i can fix my sdk? i updated to the newest version from having the old sdk in it and i updated to the nnewest version of unity required, i tried reimporting it a couple of time, also went into my registry editor and deleted the sdk, everything i've tried still doesn't bring up the control panel for my project and i don't know why it isn't showing up even when it works in a new scene but not in the one i need it to be in

does anyone know of a way to fix this?

[ruby jay]

look at your console and fix the errors

[south orbit]

scripts can break the sdk, so that might be the cause in this case

[bold ibex]

can someone help me make a map? i have a very little experience with worlds

[stone marsh]

Also just to make sure. Newest supported is 2019.4.31f1

[south orbit]

youtube and the internet can teach u everything, just spend time and learn and u'll get there.

• few things handy for world creation, Probuilder, ProGrids <- extensions for unity, beside of that learn blender basics, learn basic udon stuff.

[green lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLi52YrrDmY&list=PLPdWkxUSZ65Fp6ICrU7mIq1znAfPwMhNZ I find this tend to be a pretty decent beginners tutorial series

[unkempt turtle]

everyone starts somewhere, unless you got a few hundred bucks lying around, then you can commission one too

[willow canyon]

Or pay a tutor in Unity

knowing your tools is already a pretty big step up compared to starting from scratch

[unkempt turtle]

you can learn from tutorials too, no need to do that

[willow canyon]

some people need 1 on 1 tutoring for specific questions too. but you have a point

I started by just opening unity and just... yes

[bold ibex]

well i do but also i just wanna learn so i have something to do on my free time

[willow canyon]

Get probuilder if you don't use blender

if you use blender study shaders and materials

if you don't understand neither: Learn probuilder

[unkempt turtle]

use Sketchup Instead. easy to use, but a lot better for overall performance tbh

probuilder is a mess

[willow canyon]

I am getting advice I wish I had 5 months ago

[unkempt turtle]

why that?

[willow canyon]

Spent a bit too much time trying to create a propper world before

[unkempt turtle]

F

[willow canyon]

It's a good world, but it could've been better without the extra hassle

[unkempt turtle]

but yea, choose Sketchup over ProBuilder. you can draw by distance and allign to a grid, the UVs are (while overlapping like hell) usuable for textures and PBR (just use a random texture inside Sketchup as Placeholder). Seperate Meshes, backfaces, unity support etc

plus making buildings is a lot easier too that way

[willow canyon]

I'll keep that in mind, I want to do something a bit bigger this time so I'm making a sketchup account rn

thanks for your advice by the way!

[unkempt turtle]

Sketchup Make 2017 is the last free version

from 2018 onwards its only the crappy online version or Sketchup Pro

[willow canyon]

I guess I'll use the shitty online version right now as I'm not home lol

[unkempt turtle]

fair enough

if you need help with Sketchup, feel free to hit me up ^^

[willow canyon]

I'll keep that in mind

Been working in sketchfab for only 13 minutes and I already agree

[unkempt turtle]

you can even import the .blend file directly

[willow canyon]

You're joking.

YOU ARE Joking.

I think I left my brain at home somewhere I didn't know you could do that

[unkempt turtle]

nope

same as the .skp files from sketchup

unity can work with both

makes me wonder if you can use a .blend file for an avatar

[willow canyon]

I am going to burn my pc. Now I feel stupid trying to export all .blend files to .fbx constantly

[unkempt turtle]

i do it to not get called weird

[willow canyon]

What's weird about using certain file extensions? what?!

[unkempt turtle]

its not normal to use .skp or .blend files

but you can edit it directly in unity and see changes without reimporting it again

[willow canyon]

Then it shouldn't be "weird", It's thinking out of the box and smart!

I'm def using that now

[maiden ivy]

I have an outstanding idea for a world

[willow canyon]

Then what are you doing telling us? make it!

plan things out, start measuring. worlds take a lot of time to create and perfect

[unkempt turtle]

designing is entirely your personal preference. you are free to create whatever you like. you can draw some concept art yourself, you can just place randomly as well

[willow canyon]

^^

[bold ibex]

When I go to make my world cross platform, do I have to wait for the 1 week limit thing to run out before I can upload the quest version?

[desert python]

you can update the world to be quest compat whenever

[bold ibex]

I just have to copy the world files in the explorer and paste it somewhere else right?

Then upload the copy?

[desert python]

ummmmm, elaborate?

you would sworch your build target to android and then build and publish

[willow canyon]

you can always upload a world

[bold ibex]

So I publish for windows and then in the same project switch to android and upload again?

[desert python]

yes

[bold ibex]

Oh ok

[willow canyon]

Yep

well optimise it though

[bold ibex]

I read somewhere that I need to copy the files and paste it somewhere and open that up

[willow canyon]

Nah, you can just switch the build ver. to android and upload

[bold ibex]

Oh ok thanks a lot

Also I switched it to android last night and saw a bunch of yellow errors. Should I worry too much? Lmao

[willow canyon]

Not really

[bold ibex]

Ok cool

[willow canyon]

those are warnings about optimising, as long as they're not red don't worry

[bold ibex]

Cool

[willow canyon]

but do optimise one day, remember that quest isn't known for it's power

[bold ibex]

Yeah I have a quest so I would know lmao

[willow canyon]

Hehe, alright, keep up the good work!

[bold ibex]

Thanks!

[left rain]

I'd recommend backing up your project before switching. there's a reason a lot of people tell you to make a copy of the project for cross platform builds.

[willow canyon]

yep they're right

[desert python]

oml thats what they meant

ye no. unity is very good at destroying itself sometimes. backing up should be done frequently

[bold ibex]

Well that’s not what I meant but I’ll do that lmao

The thing I saw said to make a copy and upload THAT copy as the quest version and the normal as the windows version

[desert python]

i think thats recommended for when projectd take hours to switch between builds

[willow canyon]

It takes my pc 3 minutes on worlds and about 50 seconds on avatars, still backing up

Unity has it's moments and when it does, it has them HARD

[maiden ivy]

Anyone here ever play an old PS2 Game called Dark Cloud?

[willow canyon]

#general-media

[maiden ivy]

Oh, no no no not off topic at all

I was thinking of someone making an avatar world with the characters from Dark Cloud

Thoughts?

[random sphinx]

I'd like to use audio link shaders on game objects in my world, but I can't really find a tutorial for how to set this up. anyone know of one that they could recommend?

[upper obsidian]

The simplest thing is if you install the full package, run the scene that goes in it, and see for yourself how it works.

[random sphinx]

which full package?

[upper obsidian]

https://github.com/llealloo/vrc-udon-audio-link/releases/tag/0.2.7 AudioLink_v0.2.7_full.unitypackage

[stone marsh]

There's a prefab in there. You just drag and drop it into your hierarchy

[random sphinx]

oh, yeah i didn't have that package. thanks

[stone marsh]

It comes with some basic reactive examples as prefabs

Poiyomi has absurd levels of audio link support now.

[random sphinx]

yeah all i had was poiyomi i didn't realize i needed anopther package

[stone marsh]

Poi Pro has more options currently too, like spectrograms n radial distortion. Worth the 10 bucks if ya want more reactivity.

[random sphinx]

yeah i'm still trying to figure poiyomi out; a lot of the tutorials are out dated

out of curiosity, anyone ever seen a world where the game objects actually move with the music?

i imported that audio link package but i have 19 errors

[white moon]

Did you make sure to import any other dependancies it lists before you imported it?

https://github.com/llealloo/vrc-udon-audio-link/blob/master/README.md#first-time-setup

[random sphinx]

you mean the SDK, udon sharp and cyanemu?

[white moon]

Yup

[random sphinx]

yeah i've had those already.

[white moon]

Latest versions?

[random sphinx]

i think something is wrong with my udon... idk

pretty sure they are

does udon just destroy itself sometimes or something? and ruin the entire project?

[white moon]

Not that ive seen. Nothing that reimporting it wouldnt fix

[random sphinx]

i get errors when i try to import protv too

a bunch of "namespace is invalid" and "could not be found"

ok, so even after reimporting usharp, audio link package still giving me errors

[upper obsidian]

Which errors?

[random sphinx]

Assets\AudioLink\Scripts\AudioLinkMiniPlayerController.cs(73,18): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'IsValid' does not exist in the namespace 'Utilities' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

that's just one

[upper obsidian]

Reimport All

[stone marsh]

Need actual screenshot of your errors in the console.

[random sphinx]

reimport all what? i already reimported usharp and audio link.

[stone marsh]

Send screenshot of your console.

Are u using the newest sdk off the website?

[random sphinx]

i think i am

how new is the newest one? i'll double check

[stone marsh]

The version name of the sdk you have is in the vrcsdk folder

There's a file called version or something

Ensure you have the newest U# as well, downloaded direct from their github

[random sphinx]

2021.11.08.14.28

oh maybe there is a slightly newer version?

[stone marsh]

I'm on mobile so I can't check and can't remember the last SDK update. Just go to the vrchat website and download it and drop it in

Same with udonsharp, ensure you have the newest from their GitHub.

You can simply drag and drop them into your project and press import.

If that doesn't work. Restart unity, if that doesn't work. Come back here

[random sphinx]

yeah i'm pretty sure i have the latest SDK, i'm double checking udon now

ok i also already have the latest usharp

[white moon]

Id say remove audiolink, and then see if you get any errors. If you dont rebuild to make sure, and then reimport

sounds like it didnt pick something up on import

[random sphinx]

i've done that several times already; but the errors are always there

or to be more accurate, the errors always return when i reimport audio link

[white moon]

have you tried restarting your unity?

sometimes it fixes random errors i cant explain XD

[random sphinx]

yes

i also copied the project, then reimported the SDK and udonsharp just to be sure; that had disasterous results

i'm trying with a fresh blank project now to see what happens...

[ember vault]

how I fix that

[random sphinx]

lol well it works in a brand new project. just not in my actual project...

[random sphinx]

are you making a quest build?

[ember vault]

I want it will be available to quest

[random sphinx]

you'll have to use the vrc mobile shaders for a quest build

[left rain]

those are warnings, not errors. you don't have to use VRC mobile shaders for worlds, only for avatars. it's just a recommendation.

i'd still recommend primarily using the Standard or Standard Lite (or Poiyomi) shaders for 99% of your materials unless you really know what you're doing

[white moon]

the Silent shaders are made from the google android shader base so they should preform decently on quest too

[vagrant stone]

Please help me someone. I downloaded probuilder and now I cannot find it to un install it

Now also all my projects, including any unity project I create gives me this error and is filled with compile errors

I am devistated

I have uninstalled unity and restarted my computer and re-installed it, and that did not help at all

[upper obsidian]

Probuilder comes as a package within each project. How the package is removed. But the version of the unity is not at all suitable as far as I can see.

[vagrant stone]

What can I do

[upper obsidian]

check that the unity version is 2019.4.31f1

[stone marsh]

This was cross posted in #user-support-old it seems.. try and avoid that to avoid users making similar suggestions xP

[errant bloom]

Hi! I created a world on unity but it is at 100mb anyone know why? it's just a room...
I would like to know how to reduce this size ^^ Thanks

[stone marsh]

You can use vrworldtoolkit to profile your world

Check for uncompressed textures, music, or if you're baking lighting

Excessive use of different fonts is also bad if you use a lot of prefabs, change the fonts so they are all the same.

Occlusion culling also had a file size impact. As does having excessive batching.

Most of the time it boils down to

Textures (compress using crunch)
Audio (compress or use video player to stream in audio)
Baked lighting (use lower settings)
Fonts (only use one for your world if possible or make pngs in Photoshop for text instead of using unity fonts if you want different font types)

[random sphinx]

i got audio link working in a fresh, separate project; but i still can't get it working in my actual project. getting these errors, related to Utilities. any ideas?

[upper obsidian]

Remove the audio link from the project. and all its files. Reinstall. If it doesn't help, backup and reimport everything.

[random sphinx]

so i have made a copy and tried reimporting the SDK, usharp and audio link, but that made things so much worse

[upper obsidian]

When re-importing, do you delete files from the project, or do you immediately install on top?

[random sphinx]

i deleted

i suppose i can try the other way as well

[white moon]

if you open the example audiolink scene does that work?

[random sphinx]

in the fresh project i just made yes; in my original project no

[upper obsidian]

The failure can be on any script, which, it seems, should not be related to the problem. It is necessary to check all .cs and .dll files in the project.

[white moon]

if you hit clear on the console what remains?

[random sphinx]

these are the ones that remain

[white moon]

whats at the top? looks like you can scroll up

the first error is generally the most important

[bold ibex]

Oh ok I see

[white moon]

Utilities is part of the VRC.SDKBase namespace, so it cant find something thats part of the VRC SDK.

[random sphinx]

yeah i noticed that, but i can't understand why that would be.

i've reimported the SDK several times and that didn't work. i created a new project with the same SDK and that did work, but i'd prefer to get it working in my original project. i have no idea what could be causing this problem though.

[white moon]

Hmmm.

What if, you close the project, go to its asset folder and delete all the VRC SDK stuff

and copy the folders you deleted from the new project you made

maybe something is corrupted funky and not getting picked up

[random sphinx]

nope that didn't work either

[white moon]

Random idea, what if you try import the previous sdk version see if that works?

[random sphinx]

i suspect something that i have in the project is interfering somehow, but i have no idea what it could be

[upper obsidian]

I already wrote. Any cs and dll file can block the work of the sdk and give all sorts of incomprehensible errors.

[random sphinx]

when you say cs, does that include my own udonsharp files?

[upper obsidian]

He could accidentally fly in with some kind of package from the asset store, you need to check everything.

[random sphinx]

i have plenty of assets from the store

[upper obsidian]

If there is a backup, you can try to remove the Library from the project, which will force it to rebuild all the assets. What is possible and will fix the problem, or there will be more errors that will lead to a solution.

[random sphinx]

i'll try that

[errant bloom]

ok thanks @stone marsh

[tight tulip]

How do I make my world gravity like your underwater

[stone marsh]

If using udon you can adjust the player gravity. Iirc the default player movement example includes this.

If you wish for Everything to have a specific gravity. You can adjust the gravity in the project settings.

[random sphinx]

unfortunately rebuilding the library didn't work either.

[tight tulip]

Lirc?

[tight tulip]

And it only effects the player

[north siren]

Quest users have been telling me that the mirrors in my world are super glitchy. Theres white streaks tearing across the mirror as if its clipping with something and its hard to look at. I have no idea what the issue is as I've only copy pasted the working mirrors from the pc version. No, the mirrors cant be on at the same time and even if they were, they are slightly apart from each other so they shouldnt clip. Im just wondering if this is some known quest thing that I need to change

[blazing briar]

wait did the post just got deleted?

[atomic junco]

Yep

[wary coyote]

did your post get deleted? wtf seemed like a normal world to me

[atomic junco]

This is actually insane

[wary coyote]

didn't u say ur grandma made that for u when u were a kid

????

[atomic junco]

Too sfw maybe

[low ginkgo]

Omg

[wary coyote]

did they just get banned ????

i'm confused what was wrong with that

[blazing briar]

apparently,

this doesnt make sense at all

[low ginkgo]

I am so confused

[wary coyote]

are vrchat devs like censorshiping that user or something

or moderators, even

what was wrong with that world

[blazing briar]

not even a warning

[atomic junco]

This is really fucking weird.

[blazing briar]

was given

[crude garden]

This is NOT a channel for Protesting.
Keep this channel clear for it's intendet purpose.

[wary coyote]

woahhhh i aint protesting

i'm genuinely confused

[atomic junco]

All she did was post her world?

Asking how it went against tos?

[blazing briar]

they posted pictures of their world in this channel that is for that?

[crude garden]

The topic is closed here. No further discussion.
Thank you.

[gaunt egret]

lol

[vapid lotus]

is the world sdk broken again

can someone send me there world sdk

[lapis drum]

Hmm I haven't worked with it yet but I have it

whats the current version?

[vapid lotus]

lol

[lapis drum]

Its too big for me to send.

[vapid lotus]

lol unity 2019.4.311f1

someone please send there world 3 sdk because i use mine and it broken

[brisk tendon]

im having an issue if someone can help me, i have my world id in the blueprint but first off its not even uploading at all and second its not updating the world i already uploaded

also i cant even upload for some reason, the upload button isnt blanked out or anything it just keeps letting me click it without uploading

[white moon]

Just go to the website and redownload it

[obtuse holly]

hello, is it normal to get errors when installing vrchat worlds sdk?

[white moon]

No, you shouldnt get errors

[obtuse holly]

i just started a new project and got errors, unity version 2019.4.31f

[white moon]

Whats the error

[obtuse holly]

let me import it again to get a screenshot

got no console errors, but startup window looks like this

[brisk tendon]

thats normal -_-

[obtuse holly]

oki ty

first time using vrchat sdk, i have been using unity for like, 6-8 years, so im very excited to play with it

ty!

[brisk tendon]

still having issue

[white moon]

No errors in the console?

[brisk tendon]

strangely enough now its back to normal? idek what im doing awake still

[vapid lotus]

i did

it still broken but i got to go to bed

[brisk tendon]

ok i got it uploaded but now when i join i just get redirected to my home world :/ it was working fine beforehand and i didnt change anything in VRCWorld, no obstruction to spawn either im just so confused

it works in test mode but when i try to join it in game i get directed back im just so confused

[obtuse holly]

hello and sorry again, how can i get parameters from events like "interact"

is there a way i can get the player instance after clicking a button?

[white moon]

Dont ask to ask, just ask.

We wont know if we can help unless you ask the question.

Wrong channel, go to #avatar-help

[bold ibex]

thx

[white moon]

no worries

[bitter idol]

Then the issue is you. Not the sdk

[bold ibex]

anyone know what to do?

lmao

im not sure how to fix this

[willow canyon]

Warnings

not errora

Again, these are performance errors

[bold ibex]

yeah theres no red errors

[willow canyon]

Yes?

[bold ibex]

what

im confused lmao

[willow canyon]

Warnings != Errors

[bold ibex]

oh ok

[willow canyon]

warnings are just there to keep your head up, inform you about possible future errors. but they will never stop you

[bold ibex]

thats weird though because it doesnt say android support

?

[willow canyon]

Yes, you haven't uploaded a world to quest uet

yet*

[bold ibex]

oh thats why?

[willow canyon]

Yep

[bold ibex]

oh lmfao

im dumb lmao sorry

[willow canyon]

Nah the UI is just a bit wonky

[bold ibex]

so i can just press build and publish for android and itll be fine?

[willow canyon]

Yep!

[bold ibex]

ok it worked! thanks lmao

[willow canyon]

anytime!

[faint copper]

why is my builder blank

for my vrc world

[ruby jay]

check for errors in your console and fix them

[willow canyon]

it could be more

I had this happen once because a script was inside my project

(C#)

[willow canyon]

And so, it begins

[wind girder]

I'm new and making a world and when I press play with Cyan emu it spawns me right outside the wall of my world how do I change the spawn location

[willow canyon]

your vrcworld object is the spawn of your world

check if the position isn't set incorrectly

[wind girder]

Oh I didn't know that thank you

[willow canyon]

Anytime, 🍪 for pushing through your bug

[rugged jolt]

I'm looking for the shader to make those 3Dpicture frames, does anyone have a link to it ?

[left rain]

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/parallax-poster

[willow canyon]

I can't seem to get connected to the vrchat sdk website, can anyone else check<

?*

Wait no, the documentation isn't working

[south orbit]

works fine for me.

[willow canyon]

Yeah it started to work for me too

Must've been my internet

[bold ibex]

does anyone know where the arrows are angled now? they were straight before and im not sure why its doing this with every object

[south orbit]

did u tilt the main camera perhaps .

[bold ibex]

let me check that real quick

[south orbit]

also seems like an odd object, why do u have it selected on the corner, are u using a extension or something

[bold ibex]

i deleted main camera and made a new one earlier because i was having issues with glow, i just corrected the rotation for the camera but it has not changed

and yes, im using pro builder

[south orbit]

have u tried make a new cube to see if it does the same with a basic new cube not adjusted

[bold ibex]

still does it

[south orbit]

try change the top to the first icon

[bold ibex]

i have it on vertex selection so i can modify it more directly

[slim geode]

Hey guys, been making a world and some how i have broke the sdk... would someone be willing to hop in a call and help me please ? im sure its a small issue but the world is almost done and i cant upload it xD

[white moon]

I know that feeling. As a sidenote have you seen Notion? I swapp to it from trello. its really nice!

[willow canyon]

I'll check it out for my next project

thanks for the advice, take a cookie 🍪

[slim geode]

"Steals cookie" Mmmmm Yum

[willow canyon]

Fine, they'll get a nice and glossy donut instead.

"Calling Locksmith"

[white moon]

up the top make sure the alighment option is set to global rather than local

this part

[bold ibex]

thanks man that fixed it @white moon

[slim geode]

@white moon would u know anything about this by any chance ? sorry to pester

[white moon]

it lets you do tickets, where each ticket is their own page. You can do a whole bunch of other formats other than tickets. It's great for writing wiki style pages, taking notes etc

[white moon]

Post your console errors. But my default answer would be reimport the sdk, restart unity

[slim geode]

delete then reimport ? I tried deleting all sdk files and import unity again but yeah it messed up

[willow canyon]

I see, well I might set it up tomorrow, I'm still in the planning phase so I think this could still become my main thing

[slim geode]

console errors are everything that has udon, it basically cant see udon even after full sdk install

currently reimporting all

[white moon]

might have to remove both then reimport sdk, then udon.

oh wait nvm i hear udon and assume u#

[willow canyon]

;-; same

[white moon]

It even lets you do nice lists with fitlers and everything

haha, I jumped on this thing when a friend showed me it. i love organizing things

[slim geode]

@white moon its endless, seems to be anything that uses udon or it might be udon sharp

[white moon]

Hmmm.

Yea have you got udon sharp installed? vr stage lighting / audiolink def use is

[slim geode]

yeah i did have, was working on the world for a good 2 weeks using udon sharp but then i did something and it all broke -_-

reimporting it now

seeing if that helps

[heady pivot]

Anyone know a tutorial to set up sitting on objects that works properly? I mean, I know how to make objects sittable but then when I sit in it I'm inside the objects instead of properly on top. Same goes for when I wanna do it on the floor :/

[white moon]

Maybe when your deleteing / reimporting stuff, make a new empty scene. that will mean it shouldnt try compile all the things that are breaking until you change back and all their dependancies are there

[slim geode]

i got sdk back but this happens when build and test

[slim geode]

Thank you ill try that

[white moon]

find a U# script, clear your console and click the compile all buttoon

sometimes when importing stuff it compiles too early, idk if itll fix it but might do

[slim geode]

a u sharp script thats in the error console ?

[white moon]

any of them should be fine since it compiles all of them, whatever is easy to find

[slim geode]

okay thank you will try rn

sorry where is compile all ?

[white moon]

ill check, it might be different words im just going by memroy

[slim geode]

okay i did it

thats end result

[white moon]

the "Compile all udonsharp programs"

[white moon]

Nearly there, delete USharp video and compile again, see if theres any errors

if there isnt, then reimport USharpVideo

compile issues are such a pain

i remember the one time i accidently imported a HDRP package into my world and had to spend like 40min removing all the hrdp render pipeline stuff before i got it going again -_-

[slim geode]

jeeez

okay i got it to build but it crashes at last bit

[chilly flower]

Hello! I want to make a trigger where a room and its contents appear when you walk through the doorway, and disappear when u leave. Im super unfamiliar with the scripting interface… thing in unity. Ive been reading on it and I’m just confused. Sorry to ask but would anybody mind calling me up on discord for screenshare and help me out?

Im sure its very simple

My brain is just confused

[white moon]

Is this for optimization or something to do with the way your world works? because hiding stuff behind walls is generally what you'd use Occlusion for.

[white moon]

whats the cinema 4d thing about? i've not seen that before

[chilly flower]

Ok I tried just enabling occlusion… and it was just an awful mess lol

I wouldnt mind help with that too though… thatd probably be better actually

Plus… theres lights in this room like lazers n stuff that i cant seem to get to now shine through walls

Maybe i would like the room to de-spawn unless ur in it

[white moon]

https://vrclibrary.com/wiki/books/occlusion-culling-and-you

[chilly flower]

Lots of its lighting too has been an issue going through walls. I think i was told to change the shadow type to prevent it? But that didn’t work

[white moon]

Is your lighting baked?

because if it isnt, it should be

[chilly flower]

How do I do

Or check

[white moon]

https://vrclibrary.com/wiki/books/light-baking-and-you

Hah, such a handy website XD

[chilly flower]

Im so pooped of tutorials lol
Is there any chance maybe you could help me personally?

I have so many little things and im just done lol

[white moon]

No sorry, i got way to much stuff i gotta work on myself.

[chilly flower]

Its ok

Thankyou for the links tho

Ill read them

[white moon]

No worries.

[chilly flower]

Isnt this supposed to change the tiling scaling?

its not doing anything

or am i wrong

[left rain]

that's the tiling for detail maps. look up.

you want the tiling for your main maps

[white moon]

^ The tiling a few options above the one you circled

[candid kiln]

what do i do if the "Show control panel" wont show?

[left rain]

go to the console and look for errors

[chilly flower]

thankyou btw toadstorm :>

[vapid lotus]

my unity vrc sdk screams no at me help

lol

anyone help me

[left rain]

go to the console and marvel at the many errors

[vapid lotus]

this ???

[white moon]

Doesnt look like there's anything in your scene to build

idk if that makes a difference though. Try adding a vrcWorld object at least

[vapid lotus]

k

this is my whole thing

dose anyone know

[white moon]

When i doubt, have you tried restarting unity?

and have you logged in in the auto tab

[vapid lotus]

what auto tab

where it auto logs you in???

the restarting unity did not work

@white moon

[white moon]

Sorry the auth tab, yea where you log in

[vapid lotus]

it dont work lol

[white moon]

Then im unsure, you got the latest version of the sdk?

one came out just today i believe

[vapid lotus]

yea i went to vrc.com

yea i used that one

did i do the descriptor right its been a month sense i made a world

anyone

[chilly flower]

How do i make a texture transparent?

I switched rendering mode to transparent and it didnt do anything

[green lagoon]

that's because your color texture doesn't have any transparency in it

[vapid lotus]

what i do is a cool glitche

[chilly flower]

ohhh.....

can you make an image transparent in unity?

i mean... texture

or... material lol

[green lagoon]

the color selector for the material has a alpha Channel section

[white moon]

theres a example one in the folders that come with the sdk

just search vrcworld and drag drop that in

[glossy girder]

enabling my mipmap streaming makes my upload tab disappear, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

[bold ibex]

if that ever happens, always check ur unity error console

its erroring at the bottom rn go fix what its complaining about

hint: if it is complaining that there is not currently an Animator component, what should you do to stop the crying baby

[glossy girder]

it was, I added it, thankyou so much I feel stupid for not checking! 😅

[bold ibex]

its fine

u now know

[vapid lotus]

it still dont work

[bold ibex]

there is nothing connected to Element 0 for your spawn thats an issue

[vapid lotus]

can someone who has made worlds for a while call me or somthing

oh

[bold ibex]

it has a Size of 1 which is good but yea

make sure u drag the object you want your spawn to be into that box, usually its an Empty Gameobj

[vapid lotus]

yea call me if ya can @bold ibex

[bold ibex]

i cannnnott at the moment noo sorry

[vapid lotus]

oh ok

but its the sdk or unity broken

[bold ibex]

they arent broken

you just forgot a step in the process

[vapid lotus]

lol like what

[bold ibex]

doing what i said earlier

[bold ibex]

.

[vapid lotus]

im using the world spawn object now

that should fix the issue right???

[vapid lotus]

can anyone hop on a call and run me through the world stuff

this is my console

[teal crystal]

I'm making a world... but it's 200k tris right now

[bold ibex]

are you now?

[teal crystal]

the documents say 50k is the adviced limit

[bold ibex]

sucks i guess

[teal crystal]

yeah. but maybe it can be alleviated with occlusion culling because my world has a lot of walls

[willow narwhal]

So yesterday I wanted to test the world and all of a sudden the file size of the world for PC goes up from 2.5Mbs to 9Mbs

How does something like this even happen, Everything looks normal in the Debugger but no clue where the extra 6.5Mbs come from. Does anyone know why this has happened?

[teal crystal]

maybe you baked new lightmaps

[willow narwhal]

I haven't baked any lighting as far as I am aware

[white moon]

That's fine for a world, you could pretty comfortably go towards 500k and be fine.

[teal crystal]

nice

thank you

[snow pawn]

yo anybody have any cool addons/stuff I can add to unity to help make quest worlds or just worlds in general?

[willow narwhal]

VRWorld Toolkit, Very helpful for optimizing your world, especially if you want to make it quest.

[willow canyon]

I am setting up notion

[white moon]

[peak whale]

im trying to make the skybox of my world move so its not that static when ppl look up in the night sky. is there a way i could do this? appriciate all help i can get 🙂

[willow canyon]

I think It's possible but I forgot how to do it

wait no, I remember, I made a day/night cycle with 2 skyboxes... I don't know about moving one though

Material offset maybe?

[violet sedge]

Made a concept for me to follow. Imma start working on 3D art for the scenery.
Gonna expand my "The Ship" world, soon to be Lil'Worlds.
Many small/medium worlds to visit with free avatars to get (maybe unlock if there's a way to save player data).
You'll teleport around using a hub, already have in mind a system to deal with optimisation.
This one imma try having 4 avatars instead of 3. Gonna push myself to learn new stuff with this project.

[willow canyon]

Don't forget to place it in #shameless-self-promotion when it's done

[violet sedge]

ty, didn't notice that was a thing shushushushs

[willow canyon]

Well now you do, keep it in mind!

[white moon]

I did that. You can rotate the skybox on the update event. And find a skybox shader that lets you rotate on an axis other than horizontal so you can spin the stars in the way you'd expect.

[opaque nimbus]

Haiiiii I’m new to world development! 🙂 wanted to ask about how and where to acquire transparent mirror stuff and how to set them up! 🙂 i wanna set up more optimized mirrors for my visitors! 🙂 and I want to add

Mirrors by the bed

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/acertainbluecat/VRCPlayersOnlyMirror

https://github.com/Superbstingray/DistanceCullingMirrors

[teal crystal]

If i have a lot of tiny little thingies like flowerpots and bottles

That share a material

Should i join them all as one big object or should I have many tiny objects

[willow canyon]

try mixing it in blender, to reduce the material slot count

but you should make a couple versions, like a group of plants and bottles

Remember to just combine the mesh in Blender, you don't want performance to tank

[teal crystal]

Yeah

[green lagoon]

you could put flower pots that are next to each other as a shared object but you wouldn't want to put all of this flower pots in the world as one object because then you couldn't do any occlusion culling

[teal crystal]

Yeah

[willow canyon]

that is correct, yes

[teal crystal]

That makes sense

[willow canyon]

yeah jus tmake it a prefab, should be better for culling

[green lagoon]

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/SCSS/-/wikis/Other/Occlusion-Culling

[teal crystal]

My world already only uses four materials

I'm debating whether or not to just bake down the normals into the diffuse and get rid of the normals

[green lagoon]

wow very optimized

[willow canyon]

Yes, but you have to remember that your world is not the only thing being rendered, if it were to become popular, people with outlandishly big amounts of material slots may join

[green lagoon]

I would say normals are helpful to keep around as it increases lighting quality

[teal crystal]

True

My experience is from quake mapping

So it's kind of familiar with what occlusion and whatnot

Thank you these are great resources/advice

I will continue my efforts

[green lagoon]

glad to be of help

[willow canyon]

Your service was amazing, take a cookie!

🍪

[green lagoon]

nibbles on the cookies now I'm curious what fk world looks like with it only being four materials

[willow canyon]

Reusing materials

[rain pewter]

Morning all, not sure if this is the right channel but looking for somebody to work with that has good unity knowledge. We are testing out porting some 3d building models on to the VRChat platform and need somebody that is able to take into unify and setup with the SDK. So if you have world building experience and would like to discuss potential opportunities please reach out.

[green lagoon]

of course but is that like a solid color Atlas type setup or like a big texture Atlas

[bold ibex]

Your DMs are disabled currently

[quaint viper]

is there a way to set up mirror occlusion in a way where it doesn't cull out too much, preferably without disabling the mirror occlusion entirely? Either that, or a way to have mirrors only render objects within a set distance from it?

[teal crystal]

oh

I'm just porting a townscaper level me and my sister made so we can see it in VR, I'm rebaking the materials and doing occlusion baking and all sorts of fun stuff cuz I'm new and having fun.

it has official obj export but the textures it provides, uff...

they drive a shader thats channel packed, use every other pixel on the x axis, goes outside UV bounds so it can recolor using a secondary 2x16texture

very problematic stuff so I just remade everything

[bold ibex]

Hey y'all, noob question but- Does the Unity Shader Graph and the VFX Graph work for VRChat?
I know that at least the VFX Graph has been around for a while, before I start learning and watching tutorials and such- I was wanting to make sure that I'd be able to use it practically

More specifically for world development

[left rain]

shader graph does not, it's incompatible with the standard rendering pipeline

[bold ibex]

quick question, is there any way to add footstep sounds to a VRC World?

[nimble pond]

You can have a timer that countsdown to play a footstep sound depending on how fast the player is moving

and resets when the player stops

[rugged jolt]

i've never done an udon world before and so far i havent even done any udon programming in this world but it won't let me test it.
i get 3 compiler errors but i don't understand em, do you guys know how to fix them

[teal crystal]

do i really have to place all these reflection probes and light probes by hand?

[left rain]

there's scripts to help automatically place light probes. you shouldn't have that many reflection probes.

[teal crystal]

yeah

[bold ibex]

How do I make a button teleport someone to a different spot?

[rugged jolt]

that script is giving me issues now

it's preventing me from uploading i think

[bold ibex]

Im having serious issues with spotlight. When I put it in the scene, shouldnt it be like a flashlight? its doing nothing but slightly lighting the faces of walls when i make it brighter. ITs not pointing any light in a cone at all

[bold ibex]

@bold ibex

[bold ibex]

Make sure the light isnt being obstructed by an object

its not

also make sure that the angle of the cone is something reasonable and not incredibly wide or narrow

show me the properties of the light

full screen

entire screen screenshot

yea its just too far

make it closer to the ground

make the angle wider to adapt

well its supposed to have a beam between the origin and the cone

🤷

[stiff trail]

question for world devs, is there a way to make a chasing NPC using navmesh only move if you're not looking at it, and freeze when you are? im on 3.0 and i've spent too much time trying to find solutions

[dense gate]

is anyone available to dm me that knows a lot about light baking? im having some issues here

[desert python]

what kind?

[dense gate]

im trying to bake light from a spot light onto a texture but its not rendering the baked light onto the texture, idk if my settings are wrong or what

[desert python]

is the meshes ser to static or is this blender

[dense gate]

its unity, and yes they are

[desert python]

is the spot light set to bake?

what are your lighting settings? what are your mesh settings

[dense gate]

give me one second i think i may have fixed it xD

[desert python]

epic

[tired horizon]

Is there a max view distance for vrchat worlds? I'm making a large map and after setting my clipping distance for my reference camera at a high distance it works in the editor but not ingame 🤔

[teal crystal]

soooo

no sun reflection

If I add another directional light and have no shadows and only layer it to water it won't kill performance?

[bold ibex]

This is a good idea but I need it to be activated each time the player walks I’m thinking of writing a script in udon to detect if player move play sound

[nimble pond]

well, you can check if they are moving by getting their speed

anything above 0 will mean they are moving, no matter what

And make sure they are grounded too so they don't play it when in the air

[bold ibex]

how do i add a new blue print id

i changed emails recently

on vr chat

can someone please help me

i really want to get back to making modles

[remote bobcat]

blueprint id? just detach old one and upload

[bold ibex]

the promblem is there is none

[remote bobcat]

if there is none the world gonna be uploaded as new one.

it will give you new blueprint id after upload

[remote bobcat]

sometimes there is bug that does that

[bold ibex]

is there way to fixs

[remote bobcat]

if you are sure there is no blueprint just wait some time

new update gave many problems sooo.

[willow canyon]

Just making sure, not uploading to the labs, what does that mean? does it just mean your world is private?

[summer nova]

Is it possible to create an Udon script where if a player steps into a specific spot in the world it triggers a third person cutscene, and forces the player's avatar to play a pre-recorded animation using the humanoid armature preset used in Unity?

[willow canyon]

given mmd worlds exist this is def possible

given it will most likely get backlash since third person in VR is a request for motion sickness

[summer nova]

Yeah cause I'm gonna try and create a racing world where the finish line triggers a pre-recorded animation that serves as the intermission between levels.

[summer nova]

https://tenor.com/view/sacrifice-evil-bosses-shrek-lord-farquaad-some-of-you-may-die-gif-16648565

[willow canyon]

What I would recommend, is just to place the people behind a render texture, disable the audio and just make a camera animate the cutscene

that way they can always look away, and they can easily look away

TO not

y'know, throw up

[summer nova]

Wdym exactly?

[willow canyon]

Just a little box, with a render texture, displaying a camera view

[summer nova]

Oh yeah that could work

[willow canyon]

Try that, and if that really doesn't work try your "third person camera" idea, I'm just warning you to avoid any possible comments about motion sickness

[teal crystal]

only now after making this whole world I realize i made it way too big for no good reason

[willow canyon]

Happens to all of us buddy

[green lagoon]

that's why it's important to include a scale reference while you're modeling

[willow canyon]

I used my cherub model for this, I made 0 mistakes on the scale front this time

but I do have an important question, if you don't enable "publish to labs" when you upload a world, does it become a "Private" world? As in only you can acces it? I'm making a home world and I have no idea if it's possible to set a world to private

[teal crystal]

no it's just too big

annoying to walk around

there's a reason most vrc levels are like two-three rooms lol

[green lagoon]

or like a Kingdom Hearts world at most

[teal crystal]

it runs at a pretty OK 90 fps on my computer so I guess mission successful even if it didn't turn out like i wanted

[bold ibex]

Oh damn did you model all of that

[teal crystal]

no it's an app called townscaper

[green lagoon]

at least it wouldn't be too tricky to cut down to a more reasonable size in Townscaper

[bold ibex]

Oh

[teal crystal]

they just let you export OBJs and i wanted to see it in VR

but it turns out it was a lot of work....

[green lagoon]

https://booth.pm/en/items/3259067 here's a custom Shader that can display the model as intended

[teal crystal]

bruh

damn

I went through all that effort rebaking stuff

when i could've just used a material

but whatever it was fun and i learned stuff

[green lagoon]

that looks nice

[teal crystal]

the next world I make I'll probably make in trenchbroom (quake engine mapping program) or something

I don't like blender modeling that much

[green lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GArfgC-AmEs

[teal crystal]

playing quake in vr makes me extremely motion sick

but vrc doesn't so that's weird

[green lagoon]

vrchat you're not running at stupidly fast speed

[white moon]

I've had a camera set to over 3000 i think and it worked just fine ingame.

Did you check that the camera is indeed the reference camera for your vrc world object?

[tired horizon]

yep

I do also have a post process layer attached to the camera, but Im not sure if that could be the cause 🤔

[white moon]

If you do that it will indeed be private.

people can technically still creat instance for private worlds off the website, if they have the world id you can just put it into the url and make it from there

[vapid lotus]

can anyone give me a tutorial because im getting this

can someone help me

[crimson rain]

Save, and then restart the unity application

[vapid lotus]

already have i had this yesterday

[crimson rain]

Huh. Any scripts?

[vapid lotus]

nope

only the descriptor
