[crimson rain]

Huh. I’m not sure then

[vapid lotus]

can you tell me the most recent unity thing that works

@crimson rain whats the unity stuff

[crimson rain]

The unity version?

Or the VRCSDK

@vapid lotus

[vapid lotus]

both

[vapid lotus]

both @crimson rain

[crimson rain]

Unity 2019.4.31 and the most recent SDK version

[vapid lotus]

yea can i have the link to the sdk just to make sure im downloading the right one

[surreal surge]

How many 🔥 to get your world in the hot section?

[rapid crypt]

howdy so i got a problem, idk if i should ask it here or if someone can point me to a different discord. but i just published a world and trying to see how it ran on quest but when i load into the world i get a black screen and instantly sent back to my home world. so i tried it on desktop and the same thing happened. but the odd part for me is i can load into the build and test perfectly fine. any ideas?

[cerulean echo]

@vapid lotus i dont know if its that but like i see you got instalet qvpens but you not instalet udonsharp i dont know if that doing eny problems but also dont know what qvpens you instalet

@vapid lotus also look if you got eny red errors and post it and maybe sobody know what problem you got

[willow canyon]

Thanks for the help! 🍪

[heady pivot]

Can anyone explain to me how to set up a mirror so that it is off when entering the world? I set up a mirror and buttons to turn on HQ and LQ mirror, but upon entering the world it is automatically on and has to be manually turned off by pressing the button and I'd like for it to be off when entering and be turned on when pressing one of the buttons.

[bold ibex]

Vr chat SDK since update has not been able to function properly please help, (MacBook air, unity 2019.4.31f1)

If anyone else is experiencing these errors which their world immediately tell so

[willow canyon]

#shameless-self-promotion

[willow canyon]

I'd recommend reimporting the sdk

it looks like it's missing some sources

[quasi fern]

i'm on a macbook pro and i updated my SDK in an existing project yesterday and had no issues. so it should work. i agree try reimporting the new sdk.

[ember vault]

Cant fix that last 3

[vapid lotus]

lol the thing is there is none

@ember vault you there

[ember vault]

owo

[vapid lotus]

lol can ya call me

@ember vault

[ember vault]

call you screens?

[willow canyon]

Warnings are not errors

they are there to warn you for future errors

[green lagoon]

you can upload with yellow triangles

[willow canyon]

Def

won't be optimised though

[green lagoon]

yeah definitely would be a good idea to swap those to a vrchat mobile Shader

especially since like none of those seem to be doing things that would require a special Shader

[fading lotus]

Hi, i am from germany. I will be create a world and have marge my account. Unity says "Not yet allow" well i play it for more time. Can anyone help?

[bold ibex]

This would belong in #user-support-old but what your going to need to do is make an account on the vrchat site when you do that get on vrchat go to settings and you’ll see “upgrade account” click on it and it will give you code take that code and on the vrchat site you’ll see “merge account” click on that an put the code in.

[fading lotus]

i have it

[bold ibex]

Alright

[rapid crypt]

@heady pivot you still needing help?

[heady pivot]

I actually ended up figuring it out myself by continuing to look into it until I get an answer here and I found a video tutorial that showed it to me and I combined the actions of that video and the other to figure it out. Thanks your response though, I appreciate it 😄

[rapid crypt]

well i havent had someone help me yet so, might help out where i can. its as easy as just hiding the item in the hierarchy.

[bold ibex]

Hey i still seem to have many issues so i would like to see if someone could DM call me and help me install the new SDK into my world. it would mean alot. Im having issues and alternate test runs work but all else dosent so im confused as My issue despite best attempts still refuses to fix.

[heady pivot]

Yup, they showed it in the second tutorial I had found, which was very useful :>

[bold ibex]

I GOT IT

WOOO

[heady pivot]

Do you perhaps also know how to do sitting on things properly? I wanna set it up so people can sit on on some things in my world but no matter what I do or how many tutorials I follow, I don't get it right :/

I also wanna set seats on the floor and have them do a specific sitting animation when sitting down there which I still haven't figured out yet either...

[pine patrol]

This sounds like a bit of a dumb question but can I ask how to set mirrors off by default?

[heady pivot]

You mean how to have it so the mirror is off when entering the world?

[pine patrol]

Yeah

[vapid lotus]

lol just found out my error help

can someone help me fix this

[worthy horizon]

the last time i saw an error like this it was server side

[vapid lotus]

dang

so what should i do

[worthy horizon]

hard to say, the last time i saw this error the support staff told me they couldnt fix it and i ended up migrating my worlds to chillout vr for a month or two

frustrating times those were

[heady pivot]

I actually just figured that out earlier, because I had the same problem. So I can help with that.

[pine patrol]

dw, I got help elsewhere and it was such an easy fix TwT

but thank you still

[heady pivot]

Yup it is a very easy fix. I'm glad you figured it out then 😄

[pine patrol]

appreciated

[rapid crypt]

i have not messed with that so sorry i cant help. my guess would be trying to set a cube to have the sit toggle but idk. and i cant even get animations to work on my avi.

but the thing that is kicking my butt is this world.

[heady pivot]

Well, actually I've done the whole cube thing because a tutorial was showing it. I did it exactly like they did and it works, but then you sit too low or too high or in between you sit sideways, backwards or they don't work at all anymore... I've been on this issue for 2 days now. It's driving me nuts. Not to mention I can barely find tutorials for it and the ones that exist I've tried all to no avail.

[rapid crypt]

yeah we need to find a world dev to show us some pointers.

[neon saffron]

Hey all, currently building a world with unity - "my worlds

isn't showing up - is this becasue I'm using 2018 version? I'm thinking that's the case

sdk page says we need to be using Unity 2019.4.31f1.

[green lagoon]

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

[neon saffron]

gotcha - thanks so much

[rapid crypt]

howdy so i got a problem, i just published a world and trying to see how it ran on quest but when i load into the world i get a black screen and instantly sent back to my home world. so i tried it on desktop and the same thing happened. but the odd part for me is i can load into the build and test perfectly fine. any ideas?

[neon saffron]

trying to build a gallery of my artwork 🙂 it's super fun hobby - and I guess I'll just always be having to update my projects 😛

[worthy horizon]

i can still push things with 2018 and 2017

[neon saffron]

maybe one or some of your elements won't work with quest - I had a water that did that

[worthy horizon]

finding a water shader that is quest friendly is a trick

[neon saffron]

hmm, but what's weird is that "my worlds" disappeared from my ingame menu - I'm using 2018 currently

[rapid crypt]

but my world doesn't have water in it?

[worthy horizon]

sometimes the menu wants to be a prick, i've had content refuse to show up for some time

[neon saffron]

hmm ok - well I think I'll upgrade just incase.

[green lagoon]

vrchat prefabs has some Quest compatible water shaders

[neon saffron]

make sure and check your project settings with a fine tooth comb (perhaps you did that already?)

[green lagoon]

https://vrcprefabs.com/

[neon saffron]

I think actually I will try to re-publish my 2018 world and see if that works

[rapid crypt]

ive looked over everything i could think of

[neon saffron]

hmm did you check publish for android? I think that is required for quest worlds

[rapid crypt]

already have. publish for both pc and quest.

[neon saffron]

yup ok.

[rapid crypt]

im still really new to unity so thats most likely a problem but its just confusing me is that everything works in the build and test but when i published it to try it on my quest it dont work.

[neon saffron]

So just to confirm - I have to keep playing vrc to publish to public. Like how often? is there a way to quantify this?

yeah setting worlds for quest is super tricky. I'm sure you've looked at all your assets to make sure they quest freindly?

I think having your preview work on your desktop wouldn't matter to quest.

[rapid crypt]

no the same thing happens when i open vrc on my desktop and load into the published world on there.

[heady pivot]

In VRChat there is a Rank system in place. You need to reach a certain rank to be able to publish anything on the game. You need to have the rank New User to publish things. There is no specific time frame in which this can be achieved because it depends on several factors.

Factors at play:

• Time played -> How long you play
• Adding friends -> How many friends you add during that time
• Being blocked -> How many times you've been blocked by other users

All those things play a role and will influence your rank. Playing a long time and adding friends will up your rank and getting blocked by other users will bring it down. So, it depends on your actions and what you experience inside the game. Every person has a different time frame in which they reach a rank depending on those factors.

[neon saffron]

ahh ok.

thanks!

[last wren]

What about the buying vrchat plus factor? I just became a user and somebody gifted me vrchat plus, two days later, with only around 8-10 hours on, I look up and I'm the known rank
This was a month ago

[heady pivot]

Yes, that also influences it. VRChat Plus boosts your rank.

[neon saffron]

yeah - I'm gonna do that now actually - so I reuploaded my map and the "mine" category shows up again - but using my quest 2 with air link - I'm gonna try my steam/index now - hoping this works.

[neon saffron]

Try posting your project settings here - like a screenshot or something.

ok cool - it works in my steam vr now

[vapid lotus]

dang

[vapid lotus]

i think you need trusted

[heady pivot]

No, they need the rank "New User".

[neon saffron]

cool - looks like I can publish now! - ok well, I gotta clean it up first - still a work in progress.

I just got plus and viola!

[heady pivot]

That'll do it. Guess the boost from plus was enough to go up a rank.

[dire vigil]

did some digging through the quest 2 system files and did a little trolling

[vapid lotus]

oh

[daring orchid]

Has anyone had the experience when making a world when you go to test it can the world is shaking. Like everything including your menu slightly shakes and its hard to maneuver through anything because of it. I've re-imported the sdk and even deleted the original world mesh to replace with just a plane to see if it was the original mesh. Nothing stopped the shaking.

[green lagoon]

question is the map very far away from the 0.0.0 point

[daring orchid]

yes it is, im guessing that has something to do with it

[green lagoon]

that's floating Point Precision errors and basically not really much you can do the fix that so try to put your map to be in the center instead of far away

[daring orchid]

got it, it wasnt far on purpose, it just ended up there due to resizing, thanks for the help

[neon saffron]

Yeah - I've been pretty active too so that probably was the push i needed.

[misty wave]

Is MIDI broken for everyone or just me? On all worlds, my piano and launchpad input basically freezes a note on "down" indefinitely. Drum mode seems to work but piano input seems to be broken on every world

[neon saffron]

Anyone here familiar with importing c4d animations into unity? I've got timline animations working but none of my mograph animations are registering - it's ok if not.

[bold ibex]

Can someone help me? My build won’t show up

[bold ibex]

Unity console throwing any errors at the bottom?

Not found path

The black bar that most likely has red text

Show

Vr chat

Click it and it should show every error and give more details on every error

Yes I know theres a lot of warning

[rapid crypt]

how do you find the project settings

[neon saffron]

look at top left there. - it gives you attributes to the right

[rapid crypt]

oh the inspector?

[left rain]

just uploaded to labs: https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_2e37b570-7f57-46d5-9ef5-e33d1326c70b

[bold ibex]

Sic

[bold ibex]

That looks like a pretty greenhouse. Where did you get your plant models from if I can ask?

[surreal surge]

Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this?

[left rain]

i built them all myself

[bold ibex]

OOH fellow plant modeler hihi

[surreal surge]

Working on a bioshock Infinite world!

[bold ibex]

Holy that world is made well

[surreal surge]

Ah thanks

hehe

i'm very proud of myself. This is my second world!

I've spent about 4 hours a day for the past couple weeks so far

i expect optimization to slap me tho

[neon saffron]

Is anyone having problems with "running unity as admin"? i got that to work but now nothing will import -_-

[misty wave]

tip from someone that was in the same boat as you --- Bakery is worth the $45, save yourself the days of Unity Lighting lol

looks awesome

[surreal surge]

will bakery save me from the out of video memory error?

[misty wave]

I'm not entirely sure, I've never had that occur to me but it runs way better than the built in baker

[surreal surge]

okie dokie

I feel so defeated. I have put weeks into this world and i have literally no idea how to fix this and online forms are useless because i have no clue what the errors even mean and i have no coding knowledge

if anyone can help that would mean the world to me

[quaint roost]

Hello, I just came back to VRChat. I saw that there are alot of new features for VRchat. Is there a video that goes over all of them and the SDK as well as triggers and add-ons? I played VRware and was shocked on the new additions

[white moon]

What is the colab proxy package that you've installed for?

[worthy horizon]

looks like some extra plugin has editor scripts not built for the unity or sdk version etc

[surreal surge]

Huh? I don’t understand

[surreal surge]

Which one would it be?

[topaz wolf]

oh..

[vagrant stone]

Did you try to go to windows, project manager, then in the middle of the screen it says advanced settings - press reset packages to default settings or something like that. It doesn’t seem to interfere or break the world and it worked for me

This happened to me literally like last week

[misty wave]

Are you using Unity Collaborate features? I wonder if that's having some interactions

[vagrant stone]

Anyone else having issues uploading a world to VrChat tonight?

I downgraded my world to the current VRC version of unity and it still isn’t uploading

Did something change in the past 2/3 weeks?

[white moon]

The error is that a package called colab-proxy is having issues finding dependencies. If you didn't import that or don't need it removing it should resolve the issue.

You'd have to uninstall it from the unity package manager

[bitter idol]

anyone know any worlds with realistic water?
like that i can interact with?

[hoary schooner]

Yo how do I make it so, in my world, player voices can be heard by any distance?

[open prism]

how do i make a prop in sdk3

[sullen turret]

Is there any way to compress every texture in my project? My world is 114mb and I need to get the filesize down

My textures are scattered through a bunch of different folders, and I can't manually select them

Since there's a lot of them...

and I tried selecting every texture by searching for textures in the project tab, but some textures don't support compression

which disables me from compressing all of the other files i have selected

[bold ibex]

anybody know how to fix NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
VRCSDK2.RuntimeBlueprintCreation.Start () (at

[bold ibex]

How would i add a keyboard to a video player to make it quest compatible

[willow canyon]

That's a nullreference exception inside the SDK2, you should try to reimport the sdk

as a programming joke I could say do try{} catch{} but even Udonsharp doesn't allow try and catch (yet, I think)

[willow canyon]

Video players are not quest compatible

[bold ibex]

Alright thanks for telling me

[willow canyon]

I think it's pretty sad they are, but it is the way it is

[bold ibex]

Indeed

[frozen vapor]

is there any way to set my world to use differed rendering? or is it just not possible? because I really would like a better source of reflections that isnt a cubemap without putting a crap ton of mirrors around my world

[bold ibex]

why am i getting an sdk 2 error if im using the third version?

[ruby jay]

they are quest compatible, but you cannot play every file format on the quest

[willow canyon]

On a scale of 1-10, how devilish is this to mutes inside worlds?

[meager tide]

If I put a floor into my world should I use a box collider or a mesh collider? For some reason everytime I spawn in it chucks me off my floor at near lightspeed.

lol nevermind I figured it out I put the object into the wrong variable

[white moon]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit

if you go Quick functions > Mass Texture Importer
it lets you load ever texture from your scene and apply resizes and crunch compression to all of them at once

itll also give you a nice list after you build of all the files in your build sorted by size so you'll know exactly what files are taking up all the space

[left rain]

only use mesh colliders when you absolutely need to. simple shape colliders are much more performant

[willow canyon]

Much more is an understatement here

[meager tide]

yeah I thought it was wierd that the udon prefab for the floor used mesh

[meager tide]

Is there a way to test your map without having to launch vrchat every time?

[topaz basin]

Hello guys! How are you doing today?
Is there a way to block audio? Let's say i want bgm in one room and the floor above should have different bgm. I don't want to hear both

[willow canyon]

I'd recommend setting up a trigger when going upstairs, this can be an interact, player collision trigger, etc. simply put: The game needs to see that the player went upstairs, disables the bottom audio source, and enables the top

Not a perfect solution, but it should give you a baseline for your desired effect

you can always tween the volume instead of disabling the objects, but that's your choice

[topaz basin]

What a great "simple" idea! Thank you very much!

[willow canyon]

Is that "simple" sarcastic? xD

[topaz basin]

No 👀

i just never tried things like that. Working on a big project & make think about everything before i start

[white moon]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

[willow canyon]

I usually plan out some things in programs like Trello or Word, I really do recommend it when you plan out big things E.g minigame worlds or worlds with a lot of Udon programming

[willow canyon]

(Though you should try notion as well)

[white moon]

How did you like notion?

[willow canyon]

It's pretty neat! must admit

[meager tide]

@white moon thanks

[white moon]

No worries. its a really handy addon.

[meager tide]

yeah i keep having to go back and forth cause i can't get the seams of my walls to match up where ur can't see a little line on them

[meager tide]

if an asset just shows as bright pink in vrchat does that mean it isn't compatible?

[willow canyon]

Missing shader, most likely

[meager tide]

oops yeah apparently its for version 4.5 or above

I like how one bed asset adds 54 Mb to the download for the map

[willow canyon]

|: |

Optimise your models and or textures

how many polygons does the bed have Medic

How many polygons does it have

[white moon]

It's more than likley the textures are all like 4k

[willow canyon]

What's the texture resolution, medic?

[willow canyon]

8k "game ready" vrchat textures 👍

[white moon]

https://tenor.com/view/hydraulic-press-ball-flat-gif-16281374

Compress those textures

and make them like 1k, you dont need big textures for a bed

[green lagoon]

like not even a AAA game studio use a 8k texture as you could use detail maps to increase the perceived textile density at a lot less vram cost

[willow canyon]

But what if that one nsfw guy doing the bad on the bed, notices the textures are bad and then reports your world for no reason lol

[white moon]

XD

i mean, if your whole world is based around the bed as a focal point, i could understand using a nice 4k texture

[willow canyon]

Why stop there? individual material slots for every single part of the bed

4K textures for the sheets, pillows, bedframe. pffff who cares if the world size is 300mb? It's my world not yours 🙄

[white moon]

Why stop there. Make it a quilt, and each patch on the quilt is a different screenshot of you and your vrc friends, and each one is a seperate material.

[willow canyon]

Oh yeah now we're entering the quest compatibility zone

[white moon]

Nothing beats sitting on all your friends for a good nights sleep

[willow canyon]

That can be interpreted in 2 ways

one of which I do not like

[white moon]

XD funnily enough, the innuendo was not intended.

[willow canyon]

I shall proceed to get mine head out of mine aersh

[gritty fossil]

i keep getting the vrc scene descriptor error and i checked the vrchat.exe client and it should work and i also have the right vrcworld in my scene but i keep getting an error when i switch to the vrc_scene descriptor, it's like it wants me to use the old one but i can't because it's old and has the old sdk2 on it

[willow canyon]

any screenshots?

[gritty fossil]

it's telling me to use the old one

[white moon]

It's saying it needs one. Have you accidently added a second one?

[gritty fossil]

i don't think so

[white moon]

you should be able to search for occurrences of that script in your project to check

find the script in the files and right click and find in scene (i think)

[gritty fossil]

i get this error when i use the one it says i should have

[white moon]

what does it select when you click select?

[meager tide]

sorry i rage quit unity earlier cause I imported a new project over my existing one and lost all my progress. Yeah the bed is 4k and it has animations for some reason but i disabled them.

[willow canyon]

compressed em textoors

4k? Nah 16x16 better

[meager tide]

i love having to make 52 cubes to make a simulated porch

[willow canyon]

Coobes go BRrrr

[meager tide]

got that high res floor now so im up to 89mb

[willow canyon]

[Quest compatibilty] --> 🗑️

{Quest compatibility has been thrown into the garbage bin}

[meager tide]

might as well throw in a swimming pool while im at it lol

[bold ibex]

Anybody know how I make a collider as a trigger and have is spawn an object when someone walks into it?

[white moon]

Just make a transparent material. Same way you normally would.

Why cant you?

Yup

Standard shader works just fine for quest (On worlds)

You just cant use it for avis

You should still use the standard lite shader where possible, since it preforms better for quest.

but if you need something transparent thats your goto.

Yea specular is fine too

you can techincally use any shader as far as im aware for quest worlds. Some just might run really badly.

Quest isnt efficent at rendering transparencies, so thats what you want to try to avoid using too much

[slow leaf]

Uhm, I tried to update my world but this happened

[white moon]

When it fails for some weird reason, try try again

and if it happens again then its a problem

[slow leaf]

I tried like 3 times

I keeps giving me this error for no reason, the only thing i'm adding is avatar pedistools

[lost ivy]

sorry was really busy anyway like i said there are no errors in the error console

[rapid crypt]

Howdy who here can i talk to about world uploading problems. Please dm me if you willing to help out. Much appreciated.

[kind leaf]

Thats the disc space crash. It can pop for other reasons like bad sectors, but it is recognized as a hard drive issue.

[slow leaf]

But I have plenty of space on my external hard drive, it has 2tb

[kind leaf]

Its not about available space, but if the memory Unity is trying to read is available to it, or if the sector it is trying to write to is.

Simplest solution is to just move the project to another drive for testing

I have a faulty 4tb that does this on occasion as well. But if you google the error, its more of a meme now on the unity forums

[slow leaf]

so how do I move the project to another drive?

[kind leaf]

copy the root project folder and move it

[slow leaf]

how do i get to the root?

[kind leaf]

the hub will tell you where you are saving your projects to

You know they are on your external, so you have an idea of where it is

You can also open your hub and the button you press to open your project has its location on it

after you move it, you will have to open the hub and choose the add/open option instead of new. Choose source from disk and navigate to the new location.

Will take a minute to rebuild the library and then you are good to go

[forest bridge]

How do I join a vrchat lobby with people in it

There’s nobody

[slow leaf]

when I try to move it it won't move it just copy it

[kind leaf]

thats fine, copies are good

[forest bridge]

Can someone help me

[white moon]

#user-support-old not really a world development question.

[kind leaf]

to move you have to cut and paste. just copy it like it does by default

[slow leaf]

ok

[kind leaf]

Once that is sorted you will want to run a disk check on your drive giving you the issue. Easiest and less effective method is to r-click the drive, go to properties, tools, and check for errors button. Will auto repair most issues. It could also just mean you have indexing turned off which you will also find in properties/optimization. None of these are destructive.

[slow leaf]

well I just moved it over to my empty drive and it worked perfectly, thanks so much!

[kind leaf]

🙂

[meager tide]

Is there a way to only apply a material to individual sides of a cube instead of the whole thing?

[kind leaf]

if you split the faces or unwrap the uv and map it that way

on a default unity cube, no

[meager tide]

i guess i could cheat and make a really thin cube thats a different material

[kind leaf]

use quads for that.

if you want to stay in unity use probuilder to do that.

[white moon]

https://github.com/Varneon

no, it isnt

that's all their available stuff there

[kind leaf]

you could message them directly and ask/offer

[white moon]

@near ore

[dull leaf]

amazing

[white moon]

Was tring to @ them without mentioning XD

But yes, they're in this discord under the same name

[dull leaf]

he’s in the pins lol

[white moon]

Oooo that too

[dull leaf]

there

[white moon]

Wait, you didnt used to be allowed to advertise doing world commissions in your worlds?

I didnt used to play then so i guess before my time.

[kind leaf]

news to me, I always stamp my unique builds

[white moon]

Just check the 📌up top and he's the first message

click his user

[meager tide]

does an udon script that would change spawn locations based on avatar size already exist?

[white moon]

Understandable

[near ore]

UdonVehicles SDK is planned to be released in one form or another during 2022. As of now I'm currently operating at the edge of my capabilities and what's possible to fit into 24 hours a day, so unfortunately I'm unable to offer anything as a response to any requests regarding the vehicles.

As you've already joined my Discord server where all of the updates about my work are being shared, you will get the news as soon UdonVehicles SDK becomes available.

-Varneon

It would be an understatement to say that the development and the eventual release of the UdonVehicles SDK is quite literally a logistical nightmare when taking into consideration the entire underlying framework and constantly evolving standards of VRChat, so everything is still a subject to change. But I can assure that getting the SDK in the hands of the public is the highest priority as of now.

[weak dock]

anyone know how add u model in the world like a statue

[white moon]

Find the statue model you want, add it to your project, put it in the world

[weak dock]

no i mean like use one my vrc model as a satue lol

How do I set it up?

[stone marsh]

Ensure the material you're using for the particles doesn't cull the backface. Many shaders can do this. Poiyomi and cancerspace are both good choices. The mirror sees the backface, which is culled, so you just need to use a different shader with culling off. Gl

[steel umbra]

thx😀

[rustic turret]

You can find some materials for free online like on Free PBR to spice up your world: https://freepbr.com/
You can also apply normal maps from online to give a material texture and detail.

[valid umbra]

They have a bundle for 7$ with 350 materials, worth?

Bought it, was cheap

Holy I love this bundle, ty for the link @rustic turret

What's the best way to make a sound effect change when entering a building? Like rain sound change to muffled when you go inside

tried adding a filter and adjusting the radius but it's a sphere so it doesn't work quite right

[misty wave]

Probably with udon triggers is the most straightforward

I havent done it but that sounds doable

[wary token]

giving this a looksie when i get home today, thanks ❤️

[green lagoon]

hope your world-building goes okay

https://github.com/s-ilent/SmartTexture and this tool can help out with doing the conversions to the textures to fit the standard shaders Channel packing

[left rain]

one of the best things you can do for any material IMO is get a nice varied roughness map. adding little smudges and imperfections can improve realism by a huge amount

[wary token]

I was thinking of baking an inverse AO map for the corners of all the walls so i can add erosion :3

[green lagoon]

that sounds cool

[left rain]

sounds like a plan

[undone topaz]

How long must I spend in VRC to be able to upload a world?

[left rain]

if you want to get a world into labs you need to be of User rank, which can take a while. helps if you get lots of people to friend you. VRC+ also gives you a permanent rank boost.

[undone topaz]

Thank you. I found out I was still using my Steam account instead of my VRC account.

[left rain]

oh oops yeah it only counts if they're linked

good luck putting in your hours

[valid umbra]

Anyone knows where I can find a video player for Udon?

[tame shale]

isn't there one in the SDK examples?

[valid umbra]

There is, but the screen is so white, idk if it will be optimal since its a sleep world basicially

[tame shale]

can you just darken the screen?

[valid umbra]

Its the emission, I have darkened that part but it just blacks out the screen so nothing shows

[tame shale]

can you post a screenshot?

[valid umbra]

gimme sec

[sullen turret]

holy hell

i wish i knew about this sooner

tysm

[valid umbra]

Looks like this at start

its just that I want it darker without lowering the brightness of the video

[tame shale]

oh ok, so you want the screen to be dark when a video isn't playing

[valid umbra]

Exactly

[valid umbra]

Its the best tool ever^ been using it for a year

I remember the old video player (hangout player) was black

[white moon]

No worries. It's a very handy addon.

[undone topaz]

When I imported the VRWorldToolkit Unity package it says the namespace PostProcessing does not exist. Is this my fault or has someone else had this?

[valid umbra]

You also want CyanEmu for unity, with it you can test your objects toggle/sliders in unity

[sullen turret]

been using cyanemu for a long time

i haven't tried the vrworldtoolkit yet but it looks great

[valid umbra]

Nice, it sure is a time saver.

Yeah its the best tool for unity tbh

I discovered it after 3 years using Unity 😄

[bold ibex]

Can someone plz help me fix all these errors please? And how to to fix the problem when the “Show Control Panel” disappears?

[valid umbra]

Too smol text

But try reimport sdk, should work

[bold ibex]

In the VrChat home right?

[valid umbra]

yes

[bold ibex]

Ok ty

[valid umbra]

https://vrchat.com/home/download

It is so satisfying to see this kind of shadow, kinda easy to setup with Bakery, mlp and reflection probes 😄

[bold ibex]

Any other ideas? Reimporting the sdk didn’t seem to work ={

[valid umbra]

whats your unity version?

[bold ibex]

2019.4.31f1

[valid umbra]

And you installed the Udon SDK?

[bold ibex]

I thought so, let double check again

[valid umbra]

I figure you are creating a world, you should download this one. IF your world is kinda old and using the old sdk, you should download the SDK2.

[valid umbra]

Ha ha! I outsmarted the video player by having a 10 hour black video with no sound xD

[tame shale]

LOL

that works ig

[valid umbra]

haha yeah

[tame shale]

working smart not hard

[valid umbra]

Exactly, took me like 1 hour to get that idea lmao

[white moon]

make sure you have the postprocessing package installed, i beleive its in the package manager

[undone topaz]

Thank you so much!!!!

No more errors!!!

[sacred pivot]

So I may sound stupid asking this. But I am trying to make the pickup props in my world collide with players but can not find out how. anyone have any advice on this?

[upper obsidian]

Primitive colliders without a trigger, or a convex on a mesh collider, and a default layer, or any that intersects in the collision matrix with the player and player local.

[sacred pivot]

Mind dumming it down for me... this is my first world so I do not know a lot of terms for it.

[upper obsidian]

Select the pickup object in the inspector and take a screenshot of everything on it.

[upper obsidian]

It should work with such a collider, check the layer again

[sacred pivot]

I tested it and I do not collide with it

[sacred pivot]

ok it was the layer that was the problem

thank you

My next question is I am using a item spawner graph but I do not know how to destroy the clones

[meager tide]

If I build an udon script to disable/enable world geometry objects would I have to sync it across all players or if I just kept it local? Trying to make a wall appear in the way of a second floor observation deck so it completely hides a space from view but not sure how collision works (i.e. if the collision still happens even though another client that didn't use the toggle can't see the physical object).

[left rain]

if you don't sync it, it's local. other players would just see that guy walk through a wall if it isn't synced

[nocturne jungle]

Id accidentally deleted my world files while cleaning my pc, is there any way i could get them back? I have the world uploaded as a public world

[bold wren]

I don't think it's possible to restore project files, since whatever you have uploaded is already built, i.e. compiled. Could be wrong though.

[bold ibex]

How does one change the maximum viewing distance of mesh in Vrchat?

[stone marsh]

You can increase the far clip on your reference camera.

It should be noted however, that this can have negative side effects if abused. Too much content too far from 0:0:0 can cause float point errors.

The issue is much worse on quest however, as a wide clip ratio will cause float point errors.

That said, increasing it within a reasonable amount is normal. You can use unity fog which is very cheap, to hide the far clip so it's less aggressive visually.

[whole horizon]

At what point should I be worrying about having too many polygons/tris in my world?

[stone marsh]

There's no easy answer.

Poly count doesn't affect performance as much as other things such as draw calls.

You should always keep poly count as low as reasonably viable though. Using lod groups is very useful however as you can ensure only when the player is close to a mesh it will be high poly.

If you're uploading scans with millions of poly you are doing it wrong though lol.

That said, there is a huge difference between a mesh with and without collision.

If your meshes all have mesh colliders, a high poly mesh with a mesh collider can cause massive performance issues. Especially one with bad topo. Iirc mesh colliders check collision against all faces at once so that collision check can get stupid fast. Sometimes this isn't immediately apparent however, as depending on your collision matrix you might not lag until you pick up and pickup as while holding the pickup it's performing a very costly collision check against your hypothetical high poly mesh with a mesh collider.

In short, if the mesh has no collision, you can get away with fairly high poly and not see any issues. If there is collision, you can get fucked much quicker as the poly count rises.

In closing. Use lod groups and just decimate or remesh your shit in blender, it's pretty easy and quick.

[willow canyon]

He is absolutely speaking facts right here

[whole horizon]

Thank you, that's really helpful!

My world's at 51k tris at the moment which I don't think is a lot? But it's impossible to find even vague guidelines anywhere
I'm going to redo the collision so there's no mesh colliders though

[stone marsh]

That's nothing

Mesh colliders are fine, and useful. You shouldn't use them if not needed, but there are many types of meshes where they are basically required. As long as the poly count is low enough, you'll not have any issue.

Good topo matter too though as I mentioned.

51k tris is nothing though.

[novel hawk]

is there any video players that do work on quest?

[stone marsh]

Avatars should ideally be under 10k but many are 50-100k.

While numbers are subjective and I'm hesitant to even provide any because it depends as mentioned, I'd suspect most users wouldn't have any issue rendering upwards of 1-2m tris as long as it has no collision. That's not to say you should do that. You shouldn't. But regardless.

That all said. Draw calls are your important factor. Profile the world and ensure low frame times and low draw calls.

[stone marsh]

Yes. ProTV works well on quest.

Quest users just can use YouTube without a service to convert it. I forget the site/service tho. But the player works fine.

[willow canyon]

1-2m tris as long as it has no collision.
Dynamic bone collisions: "Allow us to introduce ourselves!"

[whole horizon]

@stone marsh Thanks so much!

[stone marsh]

Lmao god I can't wait for phys bones lezzz gooooo

[willow canyon]

We're in the same boat about that

but 10Point tracking is more important than avatar dynamics

[stone marsh]

Dbones are most likely the largest hit to performance currently in the game because of their extensive abuse. (Speculation)

[willow canyon]

"estensive abuse?" I've seen avatars with 1k+ dynamic bones colisions

JESUS CHRIST, Do they have to be that self-centered?

the only thing being abused is my 1060 lol xD

[stone marsh]

Soon

Yea. Sorry I fell asleep

[bitter idol]

Everytime I see an amazing 2.0 adventure game world, one with hundreds of hours of effort, I want to tear up knowing vrchat is doing away with sdk2 worlds and all this amazing work will be a thing of the past or at least a lot more of a rare occurrence because nobody wants to hassle with udon or lose all the skills they already knew. Just why vrchat why...

---

Also sdk2 worlds be like: epic horror adventure 3 hours long!! Multiple endings!!

Udon worlds be like: I made a world that tells you what donut you like

._.

[novel hawk]

well 2.0 has been out for longer so people have been more versed in it, where as 3.0 has more to offer but not everyone knows how to use it

[tardy marten]

hi guys,
is there a difference between avatar and world upload trust ranks?
I've been able to upload avatar for a long time, but even though I created world, the community lab won't let me upload world.
What level do I need to reach to be able to publish a world?

[desert python]

theres alltube and jinnai, for twitch, youll want to use ytdl on your machine or streamlink

[desert python]

i dought sdk2 worlds would loose functionability any time soon even if they never upgrade

[desert python]

community labs requires “user” rank iirc

[tardy marten]

thx 😉

[jolly karma]

anyone made a world or know of a world thats really pretty where i can ask this girl ive been seeing to be my gf

[left rain]

[valid umbra]

Im getting so frustrated, I cant find a option to move that canvas, I have tried every number but it moves the slider also, I just wanna move that canvas shape, is it possible? Its making the slider not going to the top when interact.

[mild spade]

Try setting the slider position on X Y and Z to 0, then move the parent canvas up.

[valid umbra]

I think I did right, but it doesnt work :/

[valid umbra]

Eh I made a new one. Thanks anyways, but if you come with a new suggestion so I know in the future, I would love to know!

[leaden hazel]

Is anyone else experiencing terminally slow content uploads today? My world update is creepingly slow and it should only be between 100 and 150MB.

[leaden hazel]

At this point SDK 3 has been out what, about two years since its first alpha releases? And there's community tools now to assist with porting and upgrading 2.0 systems to 3.0 and tons of tutorials and other content. There's really not an excuse for learning the new stuff after that long. :|

Like, if a project is 'done' and you're not planning any further updates, then sure, leave it be. But alive projects should seriously consider updating, given they'll need to if they want to do things like use the new features coming soon

[white moon]

Have you got that futureproof content box unchecked? in the settings for the sdk controlpanel

My worlds used to take foreeeeever until i unchecked that

[leaden hazel]

oh yeah, that's all turned off

Normally isn't this slow, just was suddenly slow this eve.

Also not sure if I'm imagining it, but if you do multiple uploads over a period of time, does the server network notice and automatically throttle you?

[echo oracle]

im new to creating worlds

in the video im watching

there is a "show control panel" in the vrchat sdk thing on top

in my one its not there

[quartz patio]

hey when trying to upload a world for my friend the sdk tells them to verify in their email right they click on the link and then the sdk says that Couldn't verify your login by email

If you've reached here, it's because you probably clicked on a link from VRChat in your email, to verify your login.

But the link you followed is invalid. or maybe you were already verified!

If you want to try again, please log in again.

[valid umbra]

Download worldcreatorassistant (WCA) Its a time saver.

[green lagoon]

yeah it certainly makes downloading all of the useful editor extensions easier

[valid umbra]

Yep. I use it in every project/scene, it is a MUST tool imo

[frigid estuary]

How problematic would be a faithful recreation of a world that got deleted (the user has also deleted their vrchat account)?

[wary token]

Nothing wrong with that as long as its 100% scratch original and credits

Make sure you are not recreating anything copywritten or patented though

[frigid estuary]

It was a very simple world and it would be quite easy to remake. Just to make sure: I didn't rip content since neither can do it nor is it allowed. So it is only "very close" to the original.

[wary token]

If the original creator had a logo for instance in the world, you should ask if they will let you use it.

[frigid estuary]

I'm only afraid it would look too much like the original and be mistaken for it by accident

[wary token]

Isn't that the point though?

[frigid estuary]

yes, stuff like that wouldnt be included, it's all self made

[frigid estuary]

i mean it is the point but i'm just worried that a mod would go over it as a 1:1 copy/ripped version since it is very easy to remake

[wary token]

Its plausible, but not something i would say is a big problem.

[valid umbra]

I mean, you will make other people happy if it was popular so they can visit yours instead.

[wary token]

A few worlds disappeared and got remakes

nothing bad ever really seemed to come from it, all positives actually from what ive seen

👀

I mean look at Japan shrine

[frigid estuary]

oh i never knew someone remade that

[wary token]

the old one sorta disappeared so then the community remade it

albeit not as faithful as the original, but close.

id say go for it, worth a try!!!

The more recent one i can remember is that one train world

[valid umbra]

Is this a good image? Its a chill/cosy world

[wary token]

If its for preservation, its always a good thing as long as the original artist wants that. @frigid estuary

[green lagoon]

and if you're worried about it being too similar you could always change up your remake a bit more

[green lagoon]

I would say the text should be smaller because it's covering up the whole world

[valid umbra]

Ty, Im thankful for advices

[wary token]

Smaller text, and maybe add a vignette to cover up that bloom on the right. It's a bit distracting.

Compositionally the eye tends to look at the brightest part of the image first.

[valid umbra]

mh true

better?

[frigid estuary]

i would think of it the other way around as @green lagoon says, it's not that the text hides a lot, the problem is that the picture is very dark and doesnt show a lot. the text is hiding the only parts where you can see what is in that world.

[valid umbra]

Gotcha, Im pretty creative when it comes to creating worlds, but when it comes to pictures.. derp

[frigid estuary]

i'm not sure if the original artist would want that, the artist is not reachable since they seemed to have deleted their entire online existence from any platform theyve been on

[valid umbra]

F

[green lagoon]

so maybe go with a similar to Vibe but not a replica

[wary token]

Might be for the best to make it in private and never release it then

¯_(ツ)_/¯

some artists just want to go peacefully like they never were there in the first place

or do what @green lagoon said and make it similar but not an exact copy

as that would be a safe bet

:3

[green lagoon]

out of curiosity what kind of map was the original anyway

[frigid estuary]

Verhack

[wary token]

oh shit

i think i remember that

[valid umbra]

This is how the world looks like, more furnitres and more lights maybe? Since its dark

[frigid estuary]

yes, imo it would need that if you want to make more cozy

but its mainly just that the lights are not intense enough/dont spread far enough

[valid umbra]

Aight sounds good

[wary token]

Ditch the UI and go minimal for that video player and I think it will look really clean. Maybe have a toggle for the UI so you only see the input field when you need to use it.

UI breaks immersion a lot

unless its designed into stuff like a remote or a tablet

[valid umbra]

Its just the basic udon prefab, so nothing fancy

[wary token]

What do you mean?

[valid umbra]

But the problem is, I cant have roof lamps.. Since no roof

Oh, the video player

[wary token]

Use something like Riskiplayer or something like that, ez solution if you dont want to mess around with making a custom ui reveal.

But I will say, worlds with UI all over the place I tend to not wanna be in. Especially with raycast (which i gotta fix in some of my worlds myself soon cause it drives me up the wall xD)

the last thing someone wants when they are laying down is to see that laser pointer always overrendering xD

[valid umbra]

Riskiplayer?

Ahah true

if i use the WCA

its the same as just

downloading the sdk

right

thanks i will try them out

[valid umbra]

yw

[frank gull]

whelp couldn't find a water shader 😦

[valid umbra]

There is around 5 water shaders there?

[frank gull]

ill relook to see if i can find them

[valid umbra]

On the page hold Ctrl and press F and search for water.

will help

[frank gull]

it says no match

[valid umbra]

you on the right page?

[frank gull]

didn't see that

[valid umbra]

xD

[frank gull]

hopefully this works on quest

[valid umbra]

Idk tbh

but I guess it should work.

[frank gull]

where do i put the VRCSceneDescriptor at

[valid umbra]

Search for vrcworld and add it to your project

It auto sets everything up so you can upload it

trying find the perfect scale for my terrain

[frank gull]

how do i make it where i can walk through objects

[glacial pond]

Is there a (free OR buyable) visual non-Euclidean portal prefab for VR chat yet? I am not capable of making my own, but I desperately want to make worlds involving them.

[valid umbra]

Remove collider from the object

[vagrant stone]

Hey guys does anyone have a script to help make a flying machine using udonsharp?

I have looked at videos and nothing is actually making this thing fly

Or a recommendation from the asset store that is compatible with Vrchat

[bold ibex]

have you looked at saccflight on github

i read that you can build off it

idk if thats true but worth a look

[vagrant stone]

Let me look

Thank you for that I will let you know if that works

[frank gull]

how do i make a swimmable object

[silk tinsel]

any good vids on videoplayers that isnt master only and can change the playback time and volume?

[white moon]

There's a checkbox in that players settings for it to default to allow every access rather than master only

[sullen turret]

Why did they get rid of the VRC Combat System/

?

[silk tinsel]

perfect thank you! now if i can figure out the rest i'd be solid 😭

[white moon]

Is that like an extended version with a playlist function or something? I've not seen those extra buttons on it before

[silk tinsel]

it's the video player from the room of the rain that i took a pic of for a quick example

[white moon]

Ahh ok

[silk tinsel]

but im looking for scrobbing/timestamp control, pause/play, and volume control

[white moon]

the U# video player lets you move the time slider and pause / play so it should let you do that all?

unless you mean scrubbing as in you can see the video as you slide it along?

[topaz sonnet]

Hey guys, need help making animated shaders for my world. I tried using a particle system spritesheet, but there is an error of some kind and I'm not experienced enough in Unity to understand whats going on. Here's a video of whats going on:

I don't want the flicker to occur when the camera is moving. Any ideas?

[near escarp]

Probably a billboarding change ?

[topaz sonnet]

Should I change the billboard render mode?

Ok, so while that fixed the flickering, the particle system now follows the camera, as in it constantly faces it

[near escarp]

That's the one thing I can think off, but I'm not too well versed in particle systems tbh

[topaz sonnet]

No worries!

[near escarp]

Yeah that's kinda the issue, it's either precision, which causes the flickering since they have to calculate their overlap based on camera, or actually facing the camera

[topaz sonnet]

Is there a way to fix or lock the particle direction?

oh I see

[near escarp]

That part I'm unsure, but I would assume so

[topaz sonnet]

Ok, I think I've fixed it. You can set the direction in place by setting the render mode to 'Mesh', and then changing the default shape from cube to plane (or whatever you want) in order to have a non-flickering spritesheet animation that stays in place!

Very proud of myself for this one lol. I dont know shit about Unity

[near escarp]

[green lagoon]

cool

[lone frost]

Yo people who do maps. Would it be possible to do a tiny planet map? Or is the orientation fixed on vrchat?

#madewithudon I've been testing Udon, was able to whip this up in just a few days. The gravity conforms to match any geometry shape and is controlled completely by Udon. No plans to release, this was just toying around. Do not underestimate the power of Udon! ^^ https://t.co/Wd1xdPIhZw

hopefully it works okay not something I've ever tried so couldn't give help

[bold ibex]

i am satisfied knowing its possible

i can now peacefully die

[atomic barn]

are there any club world creators here?

[humble wraith]

i’m trying to disable a bunch of canvas menus when players are far away from them, so people don’t accidentally snipe the video playlist while emoting. have already tried toggling a collider directly in front of the menu, but it doesn’t seem like it blocks hand laser; also tried toggling all the VRC_UiShapes through u#, but it seems like u# doesn’t support variables of that type. is there a simple and sane way to approach this?

i can toggle or teleport the entire menu group, but ideally i’d like players to be able to see that there’s a menu on the other side of the room so that they know to check it out, so i’d like to disable interactions while leaving it visible

…lol, actually just figured out the thing i should be searching—it seems like CyanEmu allows canvas interactions to pass through colliders, but vrchat itself will correctly block them. leaving this up in case someone else is trying to search for the same thing

[upper obsidian]

It is enough to turn off the Graphic Raycaster on the canvas

[humble wraith]

ahhh, if that’s a supported type then that should work fine too

[bold ibex]

is there a way to mass change my world's shaders to standard mobile or do i need to do it manually

[opaque geyser]

hello I downloaded a Nebula Skyboxes pack, I imported it in Unity

and I have now that:

I have no idea how to import it please?

like do I need to create a skybox?

I try to create a Skybox but it's locked (gray)

Thanks for the help!

[near escarp]

If it relies on a script, it likely won't be supported

If it's just skyboxes cubemaps/textures, you can change them in the lighting tab

[opaque geyser]

it's this one https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/textures-materials/sky/skybox-green-nebula-8442

[near escarp]

Yeah it's a cubemap

[opaque geyser]

lighting tab ?

[green lagoon]

that should be fine as it's just a cubemaps

[opaque geyser]

ah in lighting settings ok

I just added the material I downloaded

here

I guess it's done thanks 🙂

looking good

[meager tide]

anyone know of a decent echo panel asset, trying to make a mini-theater and the straight black material I used has weird color banding around it so I'm trying to hide it.

[tulip merlin]

can anyone help me i am trying to put a video player in my world that will also allow quest users to see the videos for example like the movies and chill world of the karaoke world but i do not know how to do it

[gilded summit]

It doesnt show the vrchat sdk in the top menu

But it does in the bottom

[acoustic tundra]

Is there any way to remove the quest version of one of my worlds? Or do I have to delete it and reupload just the PC version? Finally got to try out the quest 2 and check out the world in it, but things just didn't translate well.

[near escarp]

You'd have to contact the #vrchat-support

[ruby forge]

Is there a commission channel btw? Looking to get a world & possibly an avatar made

[toxic fulcrum]

Here's a super basic and hopefully simple one - what does the dash mean in Unity next to Static? Surely it should be static, or not. 🤔

[bold ibex]

i just started creating a project on unity and after adding my sdk in it the opition does not show up on top

i dont know how to fix this

[toxic fulcrum]

Ohwait... I answered my own question. It's not set as Static Batching. Disregard~ ¦3

[chilly wing]

i can't seem to google such a simple question, how much trust do you need to build a world? i can upload avatars but not worlds to put them into

[valid umbra]

https://github.com/Varneon/WorldCreatorAssistant/releases

[valid umbra]

I think known user or trusted user.

[chilly wing]

@valid umbra thanks

I'm have to play a lot of chess then ;,}

[valid umbra]

😄 Welcome to unity. Lots of headaches and some bugs that will get on your nerves!

[chilly wing]

Unity is a nightmare i hate like

Everything about it smh

Like even taking a thumbnail picture is a pain in the asw

[valid umbra]

You get used to it tbh

[remote bobcat]

you need user to upload worlds

not known

[chilly wing]

yeah good at not pulling my hair out

[valid umbra]

Oh it is user

[chilly wing]

Then I'm one off

Thought I all ready had user but nope gotta rank up

[valid umbra]

Yeah I built a whole little area by hand then I remember oh yeah there probably building tools that makes this easier and faster oopsie

[valid umbra]

Yeah there is lots of hidden assets

https://github.com/Varneon/WorldCreatorAssistant/releases

This one I linked earlier, its basicially a must when creating worlds, makes everything easier.

[chilly wing]

So like do you just remember udon inputs or do you have like a lil cheat sheet

Thanks for all the linkw

[valid umbra]

You mean udon components?

nw

[chilly wing]

yeah they have such weird names and stuff lol

i can't see amymore remembering it all lol

[valid umbra]

When you make a interactable asset, just add ''Udon behaviour'' boop, done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIFzRuDeK4M&list=PLVh9xfhor6GK-vp9U_grpjp_KfQAfFaov&index=1&t=1406s

Sry for lots of links, but this video is perfect getting started with interactable sliders and toggles.

[chilly wing]

i know but like making toggles and stuff, dude wad like remeber what we did in the last video and make the avatar toggable. and im just like um no?

[valid umbra]

I was sceptical about udon at first tbh, I went old school since I have been using unity for 4 years now, but trust me. Udon is so much easier to use once you get a hang on it, also you learn alot that will be efficent in the future

[chilly wing]

yeah prob, mostly doing it to help my freind with there fivver

doing all the ranking up and dumb busy work

[valid umbra]

Be on vrchat as much as possible, upload avatars, it will help the process. Also get friends there, it helps also

[valid umbra]

I have been a trusted user for around 2 years, but I have 1k hours, 4 worlds, a bunch of avatars and 200+ friends xD

[chilly wing]

Yeah I got user on my main it took so long tho I got new user on my quest account way faster

And I played way more on steam

[valid umbra]

Yeah, having a vrchat account comes with more benefits compared to steam account.

[chilly wing]

Yeah the only reason my steam wasn't commented is I didn't want to lose my favorites and stuff

Now I'm just like God my skin is on the other account I gotta log out type in a long password in vr join a world join on my pc then copy it

It's why I made a world but I can't upload it yet lol

[valid umbra]

Ah I see

[acoustic tundra]

Thank you!

[valid umbra]

Is it possible to get a world published to public by sending some form or contacting an admin about it? I have a world that I made 2 years ago and its stuck in labs and I dont have the project anymore, Its a really nice and optimized world I worked for months on

[upper obsidian]

Who needs it?
As I understand it, it was still made on sdk2, sdk2 will soon be removed from support, over time, all the worlds made on it will be deleted.

[valid umbra]

Wow thats a bummer, but understandable

[round sandal]

is there a way to change the update rate on objects thrown by someone else

so its more smooth

(i understand itd be laggy and all but i want a world specifically designed and optimized for this so its not a problem)

EG.: i want the update rate to be so accurate that if someone throws a javelin at me, i can block it with a shield

[near escarp]

Should probably ask in #udon-general

[worthy horizon]

yay unity learned a new trick, its called "freeze up and corrupt the scene file"

[random sphinx]

anyone know for sure if this works for VRC?

[old crow]

Working on a world currently

[worthy horizon]

in soviet russia, world works on you

[old crow]

What polycount should I aim for? I know drawcalls are much more important, but plants can have intense issues so I'm planning on setting up LOD on the plants.

[green lagoon]

can you show a wireframe of the plants

and questioned how big of a map will it be

to answer as far as how much LOD to do

[old crow]

They're quite dense.

The LOD will be a really close one.

This is full LOD.

[green lagoon]

wow that's very dense

[old crow]

Yeah. I don't have any better plant models on hand.

[near escarp]

Strong doubt, worth trying though

[worthy horizon]

oof

[green lagoon]

I definitely recommend having them be a separate object from the building so that you can easily swap with some better ones when you find them or make them

[old crow]

Definitely was the plan.

[worthy horizon]

best to use quads with leaf bundless with a transparency mask

[old crow]

Could I turn each branch into a leaf bundle?

[worthy horizon]

those look like plants one would use in 3ds or something to do scene renders where one doesnt need to worry about fps

[old crow]

They are, it is what I use for my renders. Fully planned on swapping them out later.

[worthy horizon]

it would be easier to remake the whole tree

[old crow]

Nono, I mean.

[green lagoon]

I suppose you could check the unity asset store or sketchfab for free bushes

[old crow]

Make transparent renders of branches

and use those as branch bundles

[worthy horizon]

yah

i've even used internal unity tree objects in some cases

[green lagoon]

question do you plan on the world being pc-only or also supporting the quest @old crow

[old crow]

Currently PC only.

If I was to make a support factor, I'd make it to where the plants disappear on quest platforms.

[worthy horizon]

ah the fun of trying to support quest....

[green lagoon]

just wanted to check because if you are doing the quest you might have to replace that bush with essentially a solid wall that they tiling texture of plant as the mobile chipset does not like transparencies

[green lagoon]

relatively achievable if you're just trying to do chill bedrooms

[worthy horizon]

in my case its more of a miracle of absurd optimization and compression

[green lagoon]

though I suppose it also helps if you're not trying to go for a realistic art style that requires lots of transparency rendering

[worthy horizon]

because the chill bedroom is located on a chill continent or an entire universe

[green lagoon]

yeah then don't try for the quest

[old crow]

Is this good?

[worthy horizon]

i have already ported one massive world with success

[old crow]

My world is going to be a facade huge world using actual models instead of a shitty HDRI.

Plenty of plate models.

If you know what those are.

Rendered out flat buildings

Rendered out mountains

just manually layered

[worthy horizon]

naturally

[old crow]

I hate HDRIs, lmao.

Skycards are my favorite method.

[old crow]

Okay, getting ready to texture.

Is it possible to use PBR efficiently?

[green lagoon]

yes you can use PBR Textures in vrc

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/shader-StandardShader.html

[tired horizon]

Does anyone know if there's a way to display Post Process stuff through for example through a window and not have it effect everything?

[near escarp]

nope, it affects everything

[green lagoon]

because it's post-processing meaning its processes after everything else has been done

[wary token]

it does

ive done this before

have fun

gets a bit weird ofc cause you will have objects in front of it that disrupts perspective so be careful

[keen owl]

anyone have suggestions for the most cost effective way to get more space on my laptop for creating vrchat worlds? I'm thinking an external hard drive or USB would be easiest, but I've heard that USB drives with a high amount of storage have a higher chance of corrupting, which would be a nightmare

[wary token]

Cloud storage. I also use USB hard drives without much issue.

you can pick up a 500 gig external HDD for 40 bucks on amazon i think

worth it imo

🙏

id suggest cloud though if you really want to keep your files around at all times though, cant count the amount of times i needed something but forgot my drive at home.

[keen owl]

I've pretty much only played around with making worlds at home, so that wouldn't be an issue for me, but thank you for the suggestions! I don't know much about cloud storage but I will look into it

[wary token]

Does anyone know a prefab or a way to create a footstep sounds in Udon?

Will this just work?

[bold ibex]

I have Audio Sources that are only supposed to play a set distance but they can be heard across the map. how do I fix this?

[wary token]

Their recent map has them, you can probably ask.

[silk tinsel]

i have my avatar pedestal set up, but it isnt clickable. can anyone help me out?

[nova locust]

How do I add the captions? When a player enters a room, I want an objective to appear on the screen

[vapid lotus]

can anyone make a new world or no

[white moon]

turn the spatialization slider up to 3d on the sounds.

i think its called spatial blend?

[bold ibex]

I figured it out but thanks. It was an audio script component called VRC spatial something or whatever. thats what fixed it.

[heady pivot]

Anybody know a way to make a video player work for quest?
Or perhaps a place I can host files and get the direct mp4 link without having to pay my butt off for it?

[silk tinsel]

as long as youre a certain rank i believe, yes.

[heady pivot]

You have to have the rank "New User" to be able to publish avatars and worlds.

[silk tinsel]

hey my avatar pedestal isnt interactive/i cant change into my avatar from the pedestal and i tried following video tutorials to the T with no results :/

any pointers?

heres a screenshot just in case

[vapid lotus]

im trusted so im good

if i got banned with i need to redo my whole thing or no???

because i have been unbanned for about two weeks

i think i lost track

Does anyone have a tutorial for drivable cars?

i want to upload a world but these errors won't let me upload

i got the world from a website

[livid spruce]

I need help with this

[quasi fern]

did you make a unity account and sign into it?

[kind leaf]

need to sign in to use Unity which would be a silly requirement, however you need internet anyway to use the sdk. The last error in the 3 tells you whats up.

[livid spruce]

Yh

[quasi fern]

when you open unity hub click on the preferences gear icon, then click on the licenses tab, then "get help"

i'm assuming you already tried adding a license and getting redirected to the website?

if your internet is working properly and you are still getting the error, maybe try disabling anti-virus or VPN before activation? Maybe something is interfering with the website's ability to access Unity Hub?

[livid spruce]

i mean i live in middle east if it effects

but beta is working

[quasi fern]

i don't think the region should be an issue, but i'm also no expert. Maybe contact unity for help if you can't figure it out. they might have some good suggestions

Alright thank you

[quasi cape]

Hey I was wondering if there was a way to have an udon script be able to fling players? Or would that take actual coding to do? I’ve only just started on world building, and I wanted to use fling pads for a world at some point.

[bold ibex]

Ive asked several several times but im not getting any answers. How to I toggle objects with colliders?

[left rain]

what are you trying to toggle? the entire object or just the collision component?

[bold ibex]

@left rainIm trying to make an area that toggles an object on when a player passes into it

like for example a gameobject with a sound attached or a door if I want. Im making a horror map but its empty besides a few parts that I wanted to add things without needing to interact with buttons

jumpscares or triggering music for instance

so yeah something like an entire object

I cant find anything anywhere about using colliders to spawn things for SOME reason I cant figure out

[left rain]

you want to make a collider set to be a trigger. then create an udon behavior on it, use the event onTriggerEnter or whatever it's called (not at my PC). make a public variable to store the gameObject you want to trigger, and then setActive to true. then just make sure you connect the game object you want to trigger to the public slot on the udon behavior

there are lots and lots of tutorials on setting up active toggles in udon

[bold ibex]

yeah but they never specify entering colliders and spawning

Im still kinda confused

[left rain]

it's just a different event. make a box for example, and turn off the mesh renderer. tell the included box collider component that it's a trigger, there's a checkbox for it. now you can use onTriggerEnter in udon to trigger behaviors

[bold ibex]

but like

I know that much, Its just my problem is once Im in the graph and plug in on trigger enter thats where Im lost

@left rain So If I was to toggle a cube. is this right so far?

[left rain]

yes. then use GameObject.setActive on a reference of your cube variable

[bold ibex]

@left rain

[left rain]

right. set "value" to true (check the box) and connect the event to the white arrow on setActive

you should just watch a couple simple udon tutorials to learn how things are wired up, even if they're not doing exactly what you want they'll show you how the logic is supposed to work

[bold ibex]

is that all then?

[left rain]

well, that's it for a start, yes. if you want more complex logic behind turning your object on, you'll need to add more stuff

and make sure the udon behavior in the inspector has a reference to your object in the "cube" variable

[bold ibex]

So where it says cube, drags the cube to the right of it in the thing?

Oh my god it really worked

Days looking for answers

Thank god for @left rain

[left rain]

keep in mind this is only going to work for the "local" player. if you want other people to see something change on a trigger, you'll have to deal with syncing, and that's a whole different problem you'd want to ask about in #udon-networking

[bold ibex]

Im not too worried about that since in my map I want everyone to experience certain things. so everyone will trigger their own events

But thank you so much!
