world-development

[white moon]

if they want extra proof an admin will just visit the world and see they can get in fine

[surreal surge]

ah ok

i just don't want the report to be ignored

[white moon]

As an admin they can probably spoof their name to be yours too to confirm its doing it

[surreal surge]

yea true

[white moon]

just a guess on that though, idk what tools they have

[surreal surge]

havent had something hard to get this really malicious guy banned for until now so im relieved that he finally messed up

[nocturne jungle]

how could i make a clock that would sync to someones timezone?

[white moon]

i dont know if they ban for it though, i believe they take the world down until they remove the offending code

[white moon]

you can literally just get the users local time in udon code. No need to sync. just display the time from their computer

[surreal surge]

isnt third party tools and clients and stuff a 6 month or more ban?

[nocturne jungle]

how could i go about doing that lol

[fleet isle]

how do i make it not
community labs

[surreal surge]

you exceeded the limit this week

[fleet isle]

ye but

how do i make a world that isnt community labs

[surreal surge]

just upload it and it will be private

only accessible by you

or people you invite

[fleet isle]

ye but is there a way to make it public without community labs

[surreal surge]

no. the point of community labs is to make sure that all the worlds that are public of are decent quality and don't violate the rules

[kind leaf]

This is outlined in the working tos as not permitted.

[solemn hatch]

late to the converstation here , but you can also break your terrian up into multiple heightmaps and take advantage of culling , also as objects on the ground obsource it , its amazing what you can get away with

[surreal surge]

yea i had a discussion about it already. im reporting the person now

[worthy horizon]

i'm guessing the ARM processor in the quest has a bigger problem with large floating point arithmetic than x86_64

[worthy horizon]

heh yeah its real amazing what you can get away with, i just converted a world to quest that was originally 418mb and is so massive it takes 3.5 hours to walk through

the unity terrain engine has a function called "pixel error" that will help with performance by lowering the mesh resolution by a factor of the distance from the camera

[green lagoon]

yeah that definitely help to not have to render all of it at once

[green lagoon]

so how'd you get the file size down to 100 or less

[worthy horizon]

a whole hell of a lot of tricks

[green lagoon]

I take it additional tricks besides for texture compression

[worthy horizon]

texture compression alone only got me half the way there

[green lagoon]

so what was the other half

[kind leaf]

can also use runtime detail population from a pool to limit the number of actual meshes 🙂 should cut any large world build down by a huge fkin factor. Pull from the pool only what can be seen. Not a smooth overhead though through udon I imagine.

[worthy horizon]

lots of mesh cleaning and lots of audio crunching and lots of asset management

still trying to figure out why the shit no quest users can select other users or pickup vrc_pickup objects but interaction objects work

[green lagoon]

nice

found any clever opportunities for texture reuse?

[worthy horizon]

material/texture reuse was already heavily implemented since map rev 1.0

[green lagoon]

nice

[worthy horizon]

cleaning the meshes was more involved because a large number of them are from the initial version of this map which is several years old and literally the first map i uploaded.

[green lagoon]

yeah definitely plenty of time for improvement in your modeling skills

[worthy horizon]

i was a 3d asset designer long before the days of VRC, i started using 3DS max back in the early 2000s

[green lagoon]

very cool have you been enjoying doing vrchat map development

[worthy horizon]

maybe when unity isnt being a bastard, still wondering about the design considerations that went into Udon aka ASSEMBLER

[green lagoon]

not a programmer myself so no clue on why they went with what they did with Udon

[worthy horizon]

when i first saw raw udon code i immediately recognized it as pretty much assembler code xD

as an old school developer i dont do all this node graph point and click felgercarb, give me a plain text ide for programming any day

udon sharp saves the day

[green lagoon]

so much so they literally acquired the developer who made that

[worthy horizon]

i wrote an entire full fledged 3D combat RTS from nothing in visual studio

[green lagoon]

very nice

out of curiosity what kind of environment art tricks did you do to increase reuse

[worthy horizon]

pretty easy since undertale was an 8-bit 2d game so i can take a lot of freedom with choosing what materials go on what as long as the colors match the original game somewhat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvkGeGguFHA this was pretty much my crash course trial by fire into game development

[green lagoon]

so I take it your map was like the undertale underground but like all of it

[worthy horizon]

except in HD and 1:1 realistic scale

[green lagoon]

do you have a link for the map so I could go look

[white moon]

TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(DateTime.UtcNow, TimeZoneInfo.Local);
Will give you the current system time

DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm")
might even work actually

https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/date-and-time-format-in-c-sharp-programming1

[green lagoon]

seems the most recent version doing a world searches is 2.0 I hope 3.0 is going well

[worthy horizon]

sorting quest related problems is the bane of my existence

[green lagoon]

not surprised as it is a mobile chipset

but it'll probably be very impressive for the quest users when you're done as Project Ebott sounds like a very big place

[worthy horizon]

look for [project ebott undyne's pad] which is one of the spinoff chill worlds

[green lagoon]

found it and it looks to be more recent so that would be closer to how the project is currently going

[worthy horizon]

i was using it as a staging area to develop the house interior

[green lagoon]

cool

and I suppose everybody else will also appreciate the file size reduction from 400 megabytes

[worthy horizon]

i be there in limbo while i prepare yet another update for quest

the pc build is still about 316

i still have npcs and combat mechanics to worry about

[green lagoon]

wow you're definitely trying to go the extra mile

[worthy horizon]

or 10 miles even

i have development snapshots so i can open portals to 3.0

[green lagoon]

cool

[somber harness]

Soooo guys

i was searching prefabs on the unity assets store

i downloaded some to my project and then

VRChatSDK Tab and ProBuilder and Proguilds disappeared

i tryed reinstalling VRCSDK but didn't worked

i don't want to lose my progress so... any help?

(btw its my first world)

[worthy horizon]

one of the assets you downloaded has scripts in it that have some kind of error halting the execution of the script parser

[near escarp]

#udon-general

[bold ibex]

Having a little difficulty adding my music in, I tried it both as MP3 and OGG files but it still won't work

When it's imported it only shows this icon

[bold ibex]

Can't wait to play it!

[modern ridge]

I'm a sucker for statistics so I made a graph of when I uploaded my avatar world with a portal to one of my other worlds in it. The "Chapel" world had previously remained stagnant at 700~ visits until the portal was placed in the avatar world I had made. Something to maybe take into consideration for world-makers and such.

[somber spoke]

My unity is stuck here. What should I do?

[upper obsidian]

Look at the console, and if there are connection errors, fix the Internet.

[leaden hazel]

Does anyone know if that third person avatar view pedestal disc you can find on the table in the piano lounge world is available as a prefab for purchase or open source?

The one that lets you see a mini third person view of yourself

[somber spoke]

It went to Creating File Version Record from Preparing file for Upload.... (Generating Signature). However, the bar is not moving. It's stuck there for 20-30 mins. I can use navigation and change layout and stuff but it won't let me click the console. It's a 1.2 GB World.

@upper obsidian This is the only thing I can see

@upper obsidian There you go

[worthy horizon]

yellow is warning not error, and 1.2gb is absurd if thats the assetbundle size..

[leaden hazel]

ah, found the prefab, its this item: https://suzufactory.booth.pm/items/3438836

[somber spoke]

I did test it. It worked. So, Should I wait?

[cerulean echo]

Get the size down 1.2 gb ar alot

I woundering what world would need so many :/

[worthy horizon]

blatant runaway unoptimization

[bold ibex]

Vrtool kit compress textures mass textures Importeur. From scene minimum 1204 or 516

[worthy horizon]

lucky citizens of the underground who run into me ingame get to do the beta testing run

[bold ibex]

Crunch compresion 50 minimum.

got dammit

SDK controll panel wont open again ugh

Should i just reimport all assets by this point?..

It's getting annoying just to post this damm world

[worthy horizon]

that usually means a script has thrown an error.

[bold ibex]

I want to run found it. But no script specified

Maybe I need to delete cache file

[worthy horizon]

sometimes its things in the plugin cache

[upper obsidian]

In Windows from the explorer, search for .cs and .dll files.
Delete everything that is not related to vrchat.

[bold ibex]

Wouldnt that just destroy any 3rd party script such as compatible shaders. Textures ray tracing. Movements and so forth?

Or would that only delete possible incompatible files

Ill keep that in mind as a possible fix

[upper obsidian]

Third party ones cannot be loaded and often cause an error. Only udon scripts work.

[bold ibex]

Gottcha.

Sounds reasonable

[silent plinth]

Anyone have experience developing exterior environments for worlds that are optimised?

i gave it one good shot while using unity's terrain system and trees but the end result caused more issues than i'd have liked

[merry pelican]

I downloaded the Red_Sim water package, now I used one of the water prefabs but when I play the world, there is nothing under the water how can I make it for the avatar to go under water ?

[bold ibex]

can someone help me with enabling jump in my world? i'm test building it and it doesn't allow for jump at all and i'm unsure how to enable it (SDK3/Unity 2019.4.31f1)

[bold ibex]

tysm!!

[bold ibex]

Hmm there'ssss alot of dll files but alot of them are listed plastic 64x

Are these nessecary? @upper obsidian

Vrchat sdk refuses to open

[upper obsidian]

If you think you need it, don't touch it.
I don't know, I don't use it.

[bold ibex]

Would report work?

Re-import

[somber harness]

thank you! i reinstalled the scene and installed the prefabs one by one and now works

[tulip flame]

is there something I can do to enable people to fly around in my world?

[magic orbit]

What’s up smart people! Can anyone help me figure out how to put a packaged animation on a game object? Do I have to use a controller or what? I’m so lost lol

[stiff token]

Does anyone know how to adjust the hit force in the vrcbce prefab (billiards table)?

[untold bluff]

Does anyone know of a way to play ambient sounds randomly in a world? I tried using an Audio Source with a randomize script and although it worked fine in Unity no sounds play in VRchat

[digital bay]

As a guess, you could get which way their hand is facing (GetTrackingData) and also the input axis event and use the "SetVelocity" based on that. might want to disable their movement when doing that but its an option.

[faint geyser]

hey dose anyone know any good night city skybox

[tulip flame]

More wondering, currently, if there's any 'standard' or 'typical' way that users can fly around that's supported by vrchat's SDK. Just so that it's possible more intuitive to users if other worlds use the same method (like some kind of checkbox to enable such a thing).

Wanting to know this before I have to go and program in something custom that I gotta teach the user how to use (and for it to be buggy and awkward lol)

[digital bay]

A lot of worlds use the jetpack prefab, i know that. Outside of that im not really sure. Hopefully someone else can chime in with suggestions

[left rain]

You need to use an Udon graph, you can't use C#. You could always port the script to U# if you know your way around.

If you use a graph, your network would look a bit like this:

every time the event fires, a random AudioClip is pulled from a public AudioClip[] variable, then played via an AudioSource public variable. you'd just have to populate all those slots in the inspector.

[faint geyser]

hey dose anyone know any good night city skybox

[nocturne isle]

What video formats does the PC version of VR Chat support? From what I've experienced, mp4 files have stopped working for some reason, but only on PC. Was the functionality removed or something?

[dusky peak]

wait can you really not use C# scripts?? I thought Udon ran off C#

[left rain]

C# scripts aren't allowed. you have to use udon. it's kind of a subset of C#, if that makes sense.

[dusky peak]

hmmm interesting, I didn't know that. I've been trying to learn C# in order to be able to make cooler worlds for vrchat

[left rain]

U# mostly looks like C#, but you won't get the entire feature set of C#. it's meant to prevent malicious code

so if you know C# reasonably well, you'll probably be fine with U# once you get used to a few little quirks

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/vrchat-community/UdonSharp

[dusky peak]

that looks pretty useful mate thanks!

[dusky peak]

would make sense

[untold bluff]

Thank you so much! Do you know of any helpful places I could learn more about using Udon graphs? I'm a complete beginner and have just been focusing on C# not knowing it didn't work, thank you.

[white moon]

U# Is C# parsed into udon.

with a few libraries thrown in for the Udon functions.

[left rain]

There's some decent starting tutorials on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7BZK8MKuLs

Look around for "udon toggles" and "udon sliders" and you'll find the basic stuff pretty quick. It only really gets weird when you have to deal with syncing between multiple users.

[untold bluff]

Thank you, really appreciate it!

[nocturne jungle]

Once i get home ill look into it thank you

[magic orbit]

Beep

[tidal turtle]

for some reason when I click upload on my world, the upload button doesnt work and I cant upload my world? this is the only red I have in my console that may be causes it . Anyhelp?

[left rain]

99.9% of the time this error is caused by importing some third-party package or asset and not importing the correct dependencies first

[tidal turtle]

how would i fix this? do I just delete them and redo tham?

nvm i got it

[tidal turtle]

wait no I didnt

[somber spoke]

It looks amazing when I test and run it. On VR, it looks even better. However, it's not uploading to VR Chat server when I build and upload. I will figure a way out.

[cerulean echo]

i hoppe you find a way.but try to look in to yor map maybe you can get samthink down instal VRWorld Toolkit and look what take alot of mb maybe you can reduce texture or set the music to mono to get the mb down maybe it need not to be so big maybe it can stil look nice.

[tidal turtle]

I got it to work with tookit but for some reason now it looks like im uploading a new world when Im trying to update my old world,

[regal mural]

Hahah how do I add a spawn point from vr sdk?

I cant find it

[left rain]

add the VRC World prefab from the SDK to your scene. in the VRCSceneDescriptor component there is a Spawns parameter that you can add transforms to

[dense walrus]

Hey, I'm trying to add a mirror toggle to my world but when I try to change the toggle function to toggle the prefab for it is not there could somebody help, Please and thank you

[native nymph]

any1 know why i click upload then nothing happened?

[stone marsh]

You have errors in your console

[stone marsh]

You shouldn't be seeing the screen you're seeing. It's bugged

[native nymph]

another problem came up.... what should i do...

[native nymph]

i've even deleting and installing the sdk the problem still there...

i want to gave up, alr spent 4 hours trying to fix the problem but getting more problems instead....

but i spent 3 full days masking my worlds

[leaden hazel]

Try clearing all the 'generated' directories.
After backing up your project, close Unity, delete the Library, obj, and temp folders in your project folder, then reopen it and let Unity reimport everything.

This can sometimes fix a corrupted generated file

Can anyone tell me how one is able to apply reverb etc to the voice channel? I've been to a few worlds that can apply echo effects etc to other player's voices based on the environment.

[eternal pawn]

neither of the video player prefabs that come with the SDK3 seem to work. they both just play the audio and no video when I build and test. I've never added a video player to a world before, is there more to do than just put the prefab in the scene?

I tried a URL to an mp4, and vimeo, same result.

[bold ibex]

Do you guys know any ways to setup a shaking effect?

I have a shader but I don’t understand how to animate it

[leaden hazel]

A post processing one?

[bold ibex]

I believe so? I don’t know, it’s a joint project with my friend

I gave him this

https://github.com/FreyaHolmer/ShaderForge

https://acegikmo.com/shaderforge/

Anything really works. I’m just trying to replicate this

https://youtu.be/JxDms8NUcmk

[leaden hazel]

Post processing shaders once applied can be controlled with animations that interact with the post processing volume object

[bold ibex]

ty

[bold ibex]

ok so im going across so many bugs i cant handle it can someone please go through dms amd help me bug fix this through video call and stream

i cant seem to find the reason my "Blue print ID isint valid in some way and im simply trying to get a working version of pc before i copy the world to a usb and upload windows

[upper obsidian]

If he writes blueprint errors, then most likely he is already busy with someone. Through the site, look whose it is, and what is uploaded there.

[bold ibex]

Ok

I mean it’s mine so that won’t be a problem

[upper obsidian]

Try uploading to a new id. if it works out - write to those support, perhaps the previous id was blocked.

[bold ibex]

this is the error and the console

Trees have nothing to do with the error. ive tested them before and they work completely fine

[bold ibex]

any one have a reliable fix for this?

[bold ibex]

Mod you think you can explain this to me as if I was a newborn? I’m very new to this stuff haha

[leaden hazel]

I'm afraid I'm a little busy at the moment so I can't easily. :/

[bold ibex]

I see. I’m just on a time crunch to push the map out

[leaden hazel]

Alas I'm stuck in real-job™️ for a while now

[upper obsidian]

If you read the error, it says that some component is missing in the prefab.
Click on the line with the error, there will be more detailed data.

[bold ibex]

ah thats a missing custom

ill get rid of it its just a model

[bold ibex]

Do you know anyone I could contact for this?

@upper obsidian

heres more vital errors

do you think theres an error that im trying to post it for a platform without making a copy?

if so that would be a great fix that i could acomplish

how often does the sdk update?

[leaden hazel]

I don't I'm afraid. o.x

[latent vector]

has anyone else used this projector? i cant figure out how to scale it properly and what parts should be scaled it driving me crazy lol

[random sphinx]

i've never used it but i'm curious where did you get it?

[latent vector]

booth! https://booth.pm/en/items/1782044

[random sphinx]

cool thanks. i'm too cheap to buy anything though lol

[heavy basin]

i have a real basic world put together with most everything done. i was wondering if i could share screen with someone to help with a couple bugs please?

[nocturne jungle]

Anyone have a premade asset for a clock that reads someones timezone live

[nocturne jungle]

Also could someone help me with this mirror stuff, my toggles work and everything but when i turn one on the other doesnt toggle off, this is for both HQ and lq

they just overlap

[hollow ivy]

I made an edge loop and now I cannot walk through the place where I made it. So half of the space I cannot walk through

This area when I load into VrChat . (Picture is sending

[left rain]

the collision mesh is probably still considering that area to be filled in

don't use mesh colliders if you can avoid them... just set up box colliders instead

[hollow ivy]

How should I fix that

When I click on it , there’s a box collider

[left rain]

adjust the bounds so that area isn't blocked. then add more box colliders as needed

[hollow ivy]

I’m so confused

[left rain]

dunno what to tell you then

colliders can be meshes, or they can be simple primitives. what you have is a box collider that's covering that empty space in your mesh, which is why you can't move through it

you can adjust the bounds of any collider by clicking on the icon on the component

[hollow ivy]

So shouldn’t I just delete the box collider?

[left rain]

you can delete the collider entirely if you don't want to collide with any part of that wall, sure

[hollow ivy]

Collide as in interact with??

[left rain]

???

[hollow ivy]

There’s a single edge loop in the middle of the floor . It has a box collider. So that is the issue?

I cannot walk through it because of the box collider. Is what I am asking

[left rain]

yes. that's what box colliders do, generally

colliders either block rigid bodies from entering them (that includes you) or they act as triggers, if the "Is Trigger" checkbox is on

[nocturne jungle]

How could i export just the png of this texture?

[hollow ivy]

Okay I understand, thanks

[left rain]

That PNG should be in your project already if your material is linked to it. Just click on the texture swatch in your material properties in the inspector and it should take you there

[nocturne jungle]

Yeah just found it thank you

also could someone help me with this mirror stuff, my toggles work and everything but when i turn one on the other doesnt toggle off, this is for both HQ and lq
they just overlap

[left rain]

is your toggle specifically turning the other mirror off before turning the desired mirror on?

[nocturne jungle]

Thats my issue, its not

once i turn one on and try to toggle the next they both stay on and overlap

[left rain]

look at the example mirror toggle that comes with VRC, there's a whole example udon scene

[gaunt egret]

i have a mirror prefab that turns off the mirrors you aren't using

if it helps lol

[nocturne jungle]

Ermm

I guess send it my way lol

Ive done the same exact thing im doing now but i messed something up somewhere but i dont know where at lol

[gaunt egret]

sent it over dm, i think the bot would whine about the link xd

[celest haven]

You can use udon for some p simple toggles

I followed a YouTube tutorial and got it working in like 10 minutes

Still having trouble getting my video player to work though 😔

[surreal surge]

Someone that i'm working with just told me "I'll need someone without a mac to upload the world on my account... because macs are incapeable of uploading something to more than PC or Quest. but not both". How true is this statement? This feels suspicious to me

[nocturne jungle]

anyone have a rainy window texture?

[native nymph]

Any1 knows how to optimize world? When i upload it im lagging quite a bit

[chrome sapphire]

when i click upload nothing happens

[nocturne jungle]

Check your errors tab

[chrome sapphire]

there are no errors

i click build and upload, it takes me to game view and it does nothing from there

[upper obsidian]

Turn off future proof content in sdk settings

[chrome sapphire]

okay

its off now

it builds and tests fine tho

nothing again

[chrome sapphire]

there is nothing wrong, so whats happening?

im testing it right now, it works fine. but why cant i upload it?

i have access to

[upper obsidian]

Check the console

[chrome sapphire]

wtf is happening ;-;

[upper obsidian]

I don't know, detach click in the descriptor and try again.

[chrome sapphire]

okay ive detached it, one second

same error AGAIN

[frosty matrix]

Yoooo

Yo

So ya'll seen Tsubokura's Home-?

Any idea how in the heck he got the vive to show a different enviroment inside the headset?

[weary fulcrum]

I really want to add a text chat system to my world but UdonChat was making my avatar slide all over the place but I can't seem to find any other prefabs :') Does anyone know how to fix that or knows of any other text chat prefabs?

Please ping me with a response :>

[latent vector]

https://github.com/CampbellCrowley/VRC-UdonSharp-Keyboard this one Or this one https://booth.pm/en/items/2405422

[weary fulcrum]

I see, thank you :)

[lilac plaza]

anyone have any idea on how to deal with these, i've been trying to figure out this whole day

i'm getting annoyed and desperate

[dusk sapphire]

SimpleLightProbePlacer doesn't work for unity 2019

can be fixed by adding a few lines in the script though if you want to keep using it https://github.com/AlexanderVorobyov/simple-light-probe-placer/issues/1

[lilac plaza]

W H A T

is that really the only thing that's stopped me from testing?!

[dusk sapphire]

unless you have other script's with compilation issues, yes

simplelightprobeplacer will break unity 2018/2019 projects

[lilac plaza]

i.. i actually don't know how or where to properly add those few lines of script

[nocturne jungle]

Could anyone help with making a world audio toggle?

[nocturne jungle]

Do i need to import udon or sum

tryna use qv pens

well i hate unity because the whole file just corrupted for no reason, done with world making for a good while.

[nocturne jungle]

screw it, anyone have some small rooms prefabs

[bold ibex]

I'm trying to hunt down 2 things for a world I'm making and hopefully you guys can help. I'm trying to find a count up time, like the one in the waiting room and a nice glass texture, all the ones I find switch to default white when I switch it's shaders. The shader I'm using is vrc mobile defuse

Thanks to anyone who helps!

[bold ibex]

Also, forgot to mention but does anyone know the best light settings for a night themed world

[sharp lava]

Best in what way?

[bold ibex]

Best looking

Like what the light level should be, color of light ect

Saying this makes me realize it mostly depends so nvm about that lmao

And someone gave me good glass

[kind leaf]

well hell bud, if you installed a prefab without reading the requirements highlighted on the website you can't get upset when Unity doesnt work the way you expect it to. This is the one time in life we actually need to read the damn instructions lol. That being said, using a small room prefab isnt going to help you until you start following directions. gl

[kind leaf]

there are a few clocks at https://vrcprefabs.com/ and on booth. Booth is just a pain to navigate. You are looking for a shader clock. Scripting a clock is simple (any c# clock can easily be converted to udon) but has a higher overhead so we use shader clocks for displays.

[bold ibex]

You saved me so much time trying to make my own, you're the best

[nocturne jungle]

No, there was no requirements or nothing for it. It was setup for VRC. Ive uploaded two separate versions of the world now, it corrupted while i was working on it for no reason

[left rain]

qv pens require that you install udon sharp first. projects rarely get corrupted for no reason; most often errors are caused by importing packages without reading the instructions first, or importing packages that are badly configured or incompatible with your version of unity or the sdk.

[nocturne jungle]

QV Pens couldve done it since i did get an error while importing

And i hadnt installed udon sharp yet either so

But anyways. Anyone able to send me a nice small world prefab i can mess with? Dont want to work on the same prefab for the third time

[gaunt egret]

when using booth, its helpful to just put the link directly through google translate to get an english version. it does say import udonsharp but lower on the page

"spookyghostboo" has some small free rooms on her booth page

id give the link but im not sure if the bot would snipe it

[nocturne jungle]

I dont think it would

[nocturne jungle]

Anyone have a rainy window texture?

[tidal bear]

Coming Soon

[willow canyon]

I can feel my pc shivering in fear

[tidal bear]

why? lol

its not even 1% done

though i do need ideas

[willow canyon]

Gtx 1060 6GB, any special light types scares it

[tidal bear]

1660 ti here

[willow canyon]

Phew, I'm saved

[tidal bear]

not complicated at all

[willow canyon]

Let's hope unity works with your model

[tidal bear]

eh, ill bake it

plus im actually gonna test it rn

[willow canyon]

Famous last words.

[tidal bear]

😵

[tidal bear]

we'll see

[willow canyon]

I mean, it takes my unity about 13 minutes to bake

I meant 30 minutes

I meant 5 Hours

[tidal bear]

bro

[willow canyon]

I meant 13 hours

[tidal bear]

you selected your cpu to bake

[willow canyon]

Nah, that was on the gpu bake ;-;

[tidal bear]

lol sucks for you mine takes like 2 minutes

[willow canyon]

I may need to, fix my Unity

[misty wave]

Anyone used this in VRC? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/cozy-weather-207492#content

[stone marsh]

Most likely relies on C# scripts.

[tidal bear]

@willow canyon you say what? hahgahaha

[nocturne jungle]

I cant pickup my pillows? They have a mesh collider and the vrcpickup script but they wont work at all?

[tidal bear]

you see the extact grip?

youre gonna put the pillow there i think

from the hierarchy

[nocturne jungle]

Never done that before but ill try

[tidal bear]

try it

[nocturne jungle]

Loading test right now

[tidal bear]

you using cyan emu?

[nocturne jungle]

Naw

I dont even know what that is lol

[tidal bear]

use it it helps a lot

it emulates vrchat within unity

[nocturne jungle]

ahh

[tidal bear]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu/releases/tag/v0.3.10

import it and just play the scene

make sure you have somwhere to spawn

[nocturne jungle]

Thatd be fine to import while in the middle of me working on the world right?

[tidal bear]

yeah, it doesnt affect nothing

[worthy horizon]

the preview for project ebott 3.0: undertale hd is now live

[tidal bear]

@nocturne jungle import it and press play, see what happens

[gaunt egret]

check if your pillows are static too

[nocturne jungle]

Oh this is awesome lol

Not static

Ive done pickups all the time and never had an issue i dont know whats going on with em now

[tidal bear]

hm

[nocturne jungle]

You know what.

Let me try something

[tidal bear]

look up a tutorial

[gaunt egret]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXR2oXdMA4&

[nocturne jungle]

found my issue

[gaunt egret]

what was it? lol

[nocturne jungle]

So putting it on "pillow tan" didnt work, had to put it on "rugs_and_pillows_ect"

[gaunt egret]

the exact grip?

hierarchy looks odd

but if it works it works

[nocturne jungle]

Yeah, it works loll

woot woot

[green lagoon]

cool

[tidal bear]

@nocturne jungle whats the world gonna be?

[nocturne jungle]

Just a chill world

[tidal bear]

ah

same here

[nocturne jungle]

Mirror dwelling, movie theater with a regular video player

[tidal bear]

does vrchat support screen space reflections?

[nocturne jungle]

Uh

Idk lol, im a unity and vrc inner workings noob

Still gotta lookup a youtube video for making teleports, adding a video player, and some other things idk how to do lol

[tidal bear]

fun

i have made some udon sharp codes

if you want them

[nocturne jungle]

Also, a world audio toggle to disable the rain in the backround

[tidal bear]

for teleporting and mirror toggles

[nocturne jungle]

I could use the teleporting one

[tidal bear]

hold on

all you need is a collider on the thing you want to teleport the user

and an empty for the user to be teleported at

[nocturne jungle]

Alright

[misty wave]

It seems there are required C# scripts... I may have to try to do something like that in Udon haha

[misty wave]

this looks so good

[tidal bear]

thank you

[misty wave]

Btw @nocturne jungle I've been developing a tool to add teleporters, pickups and such automatically, as well as a prefab called "Tanuki Rain Machine" that has dynamic randomised toggleable lightning and rain and thunder

[nocturne jungle]

forgot to mention but yes this does lol

[nocturne jungle]

Ouuuu

Sounds dopee

[tidal bear]

@nocturne jungle gotta download an old world of mine

fully regret making it, it was for someone

[nocturne jungle]

Lmaooo

[misty wave]

early in dev still tho

[nocturne jungle]

omg thats sooooo awesome

[tidal bear]

sad

doest support it

or im doing it wrong

[nocturne jungle]

oh noooooooooo

i mean, you could maybe make a glass floor and flip what you have there, obviously it wont look that bad but as a backup plan

[tidal bear]

let me try

[misty wave]

sankyuuu

[tidal bear]

nope

[nocturne jungle]

Flipping and glass dont look good?

Not saying it should

Just curious

[misty wave]

ive seen some level of reflections like that like in the movie rooms, but it probably requires custom shaders

[tidal bear]

maybe

unfortunate

[nocturne jungle]

aww

[tidal bear]

@nocturne jungle

if that doesnt work

thats the graph

[misty wave]

and if you have trouble even then you can test my plugin for me lol

[tidal bear]

LAmee

vrchat doesnt support screen space reflectionss

[nocturne jungle]

Ok wait

so

how do i setup where you click itll teleport to "x" location

[tidal bear]

thats gonna be the target

the blue axis is the orientation in which the player will be facing

[nocturne jungle]

im slow

halp lmao

[tidal bear]

put the empty on the place you want the player to be teleported

and put that empty for the player teleport target

on the udon funtion

[nocturne jungle]

got itttt

[tidal bear]

nice

[nocturne jungle]

Ouuu thats nice

Throwing that in my assets folder

I get flung lol

[tidal bear]

its too close a mesh

or to the edge

make sure its aligned as such

[nocturne jungle]

should i have it flat like this or should i make it bigger?

I just want to to fit to the door frame flush

[tidal bear]

dont do that

make sure it has space, remember the player collider

[nocturne jungle]

Right

[tidal bear]

move it a bit forward

[tidal bear]

you see my door?

you can do half of what mine looks like

[nocturne jungle]

lemme mess around with it ill lyk

[tidal bear]

alright

[nocturne jungle]

The teleporter is right here and i dont really want to have it stick too far out in the room so people are just going to deal with it lol

Tried to use the same mirror script twice and the second one broke

[gaunt egret]

thats really weird

i have multiple of the same prefab with no issue

[nocturne jungle]

to make a copy of my world i literally just copy and paste the world folder right

[stone marsh]

Yeah, you can copy and paste the entire project folder for a 1:1 backup

[nocturne jungle]

Ty

[misty wave]

Anyone know of a good shader for distance merging like this?

Like a lava lamp

I found a neat technique for ray marching but i'm not sure if it works with particles

I guess they're considered metaballs?

[gaunt egret]

theres one in the vrchat prefab spreadsheet under shaders

[gaunt egret]

well, a lava lamp one but it has some settings you can mess with i mean

[misty wave]

oooh that's nearly exactly what I wanted, tysm!!!

[stone marsh]

It's called a signed distance function or SDF.

[nocturne jungle]

Please someone tell me where i can get this asset

[stone marsh]

Booth

[nocturne jungle]

Booth?

[misty wave]

Ye! was having trouble figuring out a way to do it with particles

[misty wave]

Thank you again for the info! I got something working I'm happy with, still lots to improve though

yeah happy to help! sorry for just sending the link without any warning lol

[wary coyote]

whenever i add the vrc examples chair to an object, it works in testing in unity, but as soon as i build and test it's like the chair doesn't exist in-game

i don't know what's going on

[granite urchin]

Hi , i have question, why after uploading my world it’s not showing in my vrc profile?

[lucid sparrow]

I'm looking for help creating world "sits" that are not the default pose. I have seen "lay down" sits for beds, and I want to make that for my own world. Is there such a prefab somewhere? or can someone help me create these "sits" with different animations/poses? I have some various pose/animations I can use, I just can't get them to work right. I tried an animation controller with the chair prefab but the avatars end up in some strange location not where expected.

[wary coyote]

weird. solved it. they were like 1x1x1 pixels

[hollow helm]

Ok i need some help

my world will publish but not update

[stone marsh]

Elaborate. You pushed an update to an already uploaded world?

[hollow helm]

well i uploaded a world last night and went back into the same unity file this morning to add more, when i pushed the publish button it published fine

but when i loaded vrchat it did not update

[silk prawn]

Made my first attempt at a tree how is it :)
Ignore the texture on the floor 😭

[nocturne jungle]

Anyone have a nice rain asset? Like just for outdoor rain

Also a nice skybox that looks stormy

[kind leaf]

Use the search bar for information on how to play videos on quest. As for video players, every AVPro video player works for quest. ProTV has an excellent buffer setup tho and works well for quest with minimal to no stutter.

[nocturne jungle]

you by chance ever releasing or selling the rain machine lol

[crystal aspen]

Hey there.

Can someone explain, how this mmd world stuffs work? Mor specific i wanna add some animations to my privat world, where you like, sit on some specific item/trigger or something like this, it takes over and the avatar plays the animation?

[sharp bloom]

im trying to learn how to make UIS for vr

so I made this UI

where the box collider is essentially this shape

but the collission seems to be different where its much larger than what it should be

(easier to see the box in VR due to the different raycast pointer)

because of it, the UI ingame ends up having a box collider like this instead, and going inside of the box collider doesnt let you use the UI at all until your collission is out of it

any clues on how to fix this

im not sure if its trying to save a old version of the box collider i had up there or not

or if theres a proper setup for making the ui collider and raycast

[tired tree]

hey anyone know how to speed up world uploads

[white moon]

In your VRC SDK control panel, make sure you have the futureproofing option unchecked

[tired tree]

Oh

[white moon]

that was making mine really slow a while ago

[tired tree]

What does future proof even do

I’ve had it on since the beginning

[white moon]

I only vaguly remember someone explaining it to me long ago, but it wasnt anything important XD

[tired tree]

Does it matter I’ve already uploaded the PC version with future proofing do I also need to upload the android with it now/quest

[white moon]

No it shoudlt matter, it just adds extra steps to the upload that makes it take longer

[white moon]

Have you trued just removing the collider?

I dont have one on my UIs and they work fine

[fleet isle]

im trying to find this script but its not showing up on my sdk version what do i use instead

[stone marsh]

That's from adk2 which is deprecated you should be looking at tutorials for UDON.

You use the udon node graph.

Alternatively you can also use CyanTrigger which allows you to setup udon logic in a similar visual style to sdk2.

There are examples of many things with the sdk however, and there are lots of free prefabs online for most anything. Jetsogs udon prefabs is a great collection.

You'd also want UdonSharp if you use that however

[sharp bloom]

i tried that before and then it just stopped working altogether without it

[modest patio]

(Hopefully) quick question,
Does anyone know how the 'camera jack' functions work in worlds, where you put your camera in a sphere and it replace what is captured with another source.

Answering my own question, found a working camera jack shader in the Camera system in https://github.com/orels1/UdonToolkit

[stone marsh]

I mean, you can just adjust the size of the collider.

[modest patio]

The method I've seen and used was to put a VRC Ui Shape component on the canvas object

[sharp bloom]

trying stuff right now

somehow the other uis work but now im having issues with main ui

im wondering if its too far into the wall so checking that out

i think that was the issue

it was randomly rescaling for some reason but by fixing the rectangular transform to make sure scale is at 0.01/0.001 / not 1 that fixes the weird box scaler

then had to pull it out a bit since it seems it was rendering and visible, but wasnt interactable cause it was too close to the wall

[scarlet moon]

AudioLink lights only flash if your character is near audio source, any way to change this to flash regardless of distance from audio source?

[astral swift]

Hey all!

I installed unity imported sdk to a new project and i have no vrchat panel to login and this error 😄

i tried to import it 3 times with no luck do am I missing something ?

https://prnt.sc/wwu6aHpvJa80

[dusk sapphire]

wrong unity version, you have to use 2019.4.31f1

[astral swift]

Yeah thanks, i see it now weird, I thought it installed 2019 ! thanks @dusk sapphire

[sudden cloak]

My Vrchat World Is In Community Labs And I Need You Guys To Help Me Out,DM If You Are Interested,I Can Do Textures

It needs an update

[muted patrol]

So this is a pretty dumb and basic question but I seem to have forgotten where to adjust how many players the world is allowed to have. Where do I set this?

[still viper]

isn't it when uploading?

let me check

yeah

[muted patrol]

oh right, I knew I was an idiot.
I havent published it yet so thats why I didnt find it.

thank you

[still viper]

no worries

on a different note

anybody know why my mesh collider doesn't work on quest, but works fine on pc?

I just fall through the map on quest

no idea why

[astral swift]

Hey can someone recommend unity assests that work on udon ? like world builder i had probuilder but now its deprecated

[upper obsidian]

Where did you get this from? Probilder both worked and works.

[astral swift]

I was not sure if it still works

[violet flicker]

I made a world but when i test, it's just me falling, i can't see my world anywhere at all.... ive tried different things and can't figure it out how to do it.... what am I doing wrong?

[violet flicker]

yay figured it out, i was stupid and didn't update my downloads lol

[stone marsh]

Pro builder absolutely still works and has nothing to do with udon.

[uneven bane]

hello everyone, i m doing my first map and i would like to hear other people opinion, i m doing a small room map and i would like to add something like a picture on the wall of something i like, should i look for an item in the store and add an image in it or that would look weird?

[nocturne jungle]

does anyone have a collider toggle that i could just add what ojbects i want to toggle into it easily?

Or even a UI with a lot of toggles

[ruby jay]

can you show your lights?
you likely use real time lights

[tribal linden]

I uploaded a world but it doesn't show ingame?

Its been a while I really do think something is busted xD

Yea, it says its all good

Oddly enough, it shows up on recent but not on "mine"

[gaunt egret]

are those wow assets by any chance?

looks familiar

[tribal linden]

Not from Wow but same style

[mild python]

The problem is when we try to join in through, say, VRChat's website, it goes to the loading screen but then kicks us into our home world right away, don't even get to see the thumbnail for the world we're trying to join

It doesn't show up in the ingame's search engine, but does in the website's

[tribal linden]

I'm struggling too

I'll probably try again tomorro

tomorrow*

for those of you asking for plug n play prefabs to make your life easier, try looking on VRCPrefabs.com its a collection managed by the community, and just about everything you need for world or avatar development can be found there.

[indigo badger]

Hey there hows it going, so im new to the community, i recently got my quest 2. i have been wanting to do more in VR chat and as a level designer i was really intrigued by being able to create a world in Unity and put it into VR Chat, i mostly work with Unreal engine, and have some past experience in Unity but i have not kept up with it, on top of that my coding skills are a bit sub par lol. i watched some videos on it and they make it look so easy but i keep running into this problem before i can even get started designing. can anyone please help

[delicate hornet]

This is a occlusion culling question. Hmm even though I added a massive rectangular mesh for the occlusion area and set my parameters to pretty small like small occluded 0.25, smallest hole 0.20 and threshold at 100, the terrain keeps flickering around in the background. The terrain is like a hill but parts of the hill can be seen rapidly flickering on and off while one is in VR. Any one got some tips with what to do with terrain culling?

[indigo badger]

looks like i fixed the other errors but i still have this, i checked my Edit > Preferences > Player but i dont see anything about this error.

[brisk compass]

Hey @indigo badger, I'm just starting out too so I may not be a huge help but I noticed you're running a version of unity higher than what is listed as supported. Try to replicate your steps on the correct version and see if that's the problem?

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

[nocturne jungle]

is there anyone that can go into a vc with me and help me make an emmisive material. I cant figure it out at all

[indigo badger]

Awesome thank you, i was wondering what version i was suppose to be using, figured that could be one of my problems, thank you ill try it out

[brisk compass]

You're welcome! If you're just starting out in Unity and have multiple installs (i.e. Current Unity and Current VRC supported) make sure that you select the version at the top of the menu when creating the project :) Good luck! Please let me know if that fixed it because I'm curious haha

[nocturne jungle]

I want to have a UI and have stuff look like a neon glow but i cant figure it out and ive tried tutorials and what people have told me to try and it just doesnt work. If someone can help me in a VC just dm me or call

[crystal aspen]

When i start "Play mode" in unity i cant move in my world for testing.. whats missing.. also i dont spawn where my spawn is ingame.. XD

[nocturne jungle]

Wdym move, like free cam or in the game tab @crystal aspen

In scene or in game

[brisk compass]

@crystal aspen To test your map, use the VRC SDK panel to build a local copy of the map, this will open VRC in a new window and let you load in as you would in game. For the spawn, there's a spot to define your spawnpoint in the world component

[crystal aspen]

In the Game tab after i press the playbutton

[nocturne jungle]

Use this for in unity game testing

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanEmu

Itll let you play and interact with your world in unity after you play the scene

[crystal aspen]

@brisk compass "build & Test" dosnt open vrchat, dont know why

[brisk compass]

Have you launched the game for the first time and played for a moment?

It should generate the file links after running once

[nocturne jungle]

Do you have a spawn?

Also this is what CyanEmu lets you dop

[crystal aspen]

this is what i was looking for thx Bex ^^

[nocturne jungle]

Npp

Make sure you have a VRCWorld aswell, thats your spawn for your world

[brisk compass]

As Bex mentioned, the VRCWorld prefab in examples will give you everything you need to jump in. There's a spot in it's attributes that you can add additional spawnpoints too but you'll spawn on the VRCWorld by default without any defined

[crystal aspen]

I have this in my hirachie. and i was blind.. didn see the VRCworld prefab.. hope now it will works. and yes sly i had vrc open a few times even with my new project but unity still dosnt want to open vrc wenn i make build and test.. but no problem.. with the cyanemu from bex im fine XD

[nocturne jungle]

lolll

Awesome lol

I want to have a UI and have stuff look like a neon glow but i cant figure it out and ive tried tutorials and what people have told me to try and it just doesnt work. If someone can help me in a VC just dm me or call

Emmision like this

[gaunt egret]

do you have post processing set up

[white moon]

I dont suppose you found any that wasnt in a full toolkit? I'd like that functionality but dont need all the extra stuff 🤔

[modest patio]

Shader file itself is here https://github.com/orels1/UdonToolkit/blob/master/Systems/Camera System/Assets/Overlay Shader.shader so you can just grab that

[white moon]

and how does it work, make the camera think its somewhere else? or is it rendering a camera thats elsewhere

[gaunt egret]

i can help in call in roughly 30 minutes if you haven't got it, but i use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUsIOKSOXBU to set mine up

[nocturne jungle]

ill give it a try soon if not ill dm you and let you know

[modest patio]

You make a camera in your scene, feed that camera into a rendertexture and place the rendertexture in the shader.

While the camera is inside the shader sphere it gets overrendered with the rendertexture

[white moon]

Mmmk. Thanks!

[nocturne jungle]

this worked lmaoo

[gaunt egret]

ayyy lets gooo

nice

[nocturne jungle]

One issue though, these work

but these dont

[gaunt egret]

check if they're using different materials maybe?

[nocturne jungle]

Ok, now

fixed the lights working everywhere else

but now one set of lights is blinding lmao

these are the good ones lol

[gaunt egret]

weird. im not sure besides checking the materials are the same and messing with the bloom settings in post processing to make it softer

if that doesn't work and you're able to move the lights by themselves, id just copy+ paste the working ones to replace the weird ones

[azure anchor]

I’m starting my very first world project. And the question is, would it be better to build it in Blender first and then import it into Unity or just put stuff together in unity?

[gaunt egret]

better to build in blender

lots of more control, plus you can uv map your textures correctly

[pulsar crow]

Blender first to build out your mesh. You can prototype something in Unity if you REALLY wanted to get into it asap

[azure anchor]

Okay. That's what I was doing because I have no clue what I want yet. Lol.

[azure anchor]

I am not for sure how to do that. 😅

[pulsar crow]

It took me quite a bit of time to be comfortable with Blender and also just looking up keybinds or ways to do what I want to do

[gaunt egret]

its alright, you'll get there. there's a lot of good tutorials these days

[azure anchor]

I sorta made an avatar but a world seems like a new beast

[gaunt egret]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWvarxgP8HM& got me through my first world

oh i didn't even see that one

[near escarp]

[gaunt egret]

🤌

[near escarp]

I'll pin it for others

[nocturne jungle]

Any idea on why the light is flickering on and off based where i am?

[gaunt egret]

bake your lights

well change the light to baked too

all of them, otherwise you're gonna get 2fps

[nocturne jungle]

How do i bake?

How do i bake them?

[azure anchor]

Is that video for me too?

[gaunt egret]

im trying to figure out why you don't have a lighting tab, uh

ill dm you cause its not world dev

[nocturne jungle]

yeah

[near escarp]

Absolutely, spooky goes over the whole process, including blender modelling for beginners

[azure anchor]

Awesome

[white moon]

that measnt the emission strength on that material is really high

The higher the emission strength the more it'll glow from bloom

[rare flame]

Quick question so I'm uploading a world and I also wanna upload it to quest but I have to optimize it

Do I just publish it then publish the quest versions and finally upload it to Community labs
Or do I upload pc to community and then quest
I only have one shot to upload it to Community so I feel like I should make sure
I've uploaded worlds before but I forget, its been a while-
Thank you!

Probably upload them both then hit community right? I feel like im overthinking it🤣

[indigo badger]

@brisk compass Thanks bro looks like its working with no issues

[brisk compass]

Glad to hear it!

[azure anchor]

I am trying to test build and my vrchat wont load now. Any one know why?

[bold ibex]

does it crash when you open it in vrchat

[azure anchor]

Nope

It's just loading

and loading

[bold ibex]

like is it your custom world or a random world

[azure anchor]

Custom

[bold ibex]

huh

[azure anchor]

I deleted the stuff I added and it's still doing it.

I have no errors either

[bold ibex]

yeah i got something similar with mine @ me when you get the awnser sorry i couldnt help

[azure anchor]

It’s okay. I wander if vrchat is messing with stuff again

[azure anchor]

Mine crashed after being on the "Loading" loop

[azure anchor]

I published my world and it worked. I bet I broke the Build and Test feature

[fair musk]

Ok so I am creating a world for the first time, it is completely done but when I go to test it my avatar immediately falls through the floor and because a loop of them falling does anyone know how to fix this

Click on the floor, and add a component called Box Collider

Then make sure the box collider is the same Height and width of the floor and then you should be good.

[fair musk]

Ok thank you!

[azure anchor]

You're welcome! Let me know if you got it to work.

[fair musk]

So it kept me in the world but now when I spawn every time I touch the ground I respawn, I'll send a video

[azure anchor]

That's weird

[fair musk]

If anyone would want to join a call with me and see if any of my settings are messed up that would be greatly appreciated

[fossil flint]

It looks like you need to move the respawn point down. It would be in the world descriptor

[upper obsidian]

Or set up colliders
Also check that the whole world and the spawn point is around 0.0.0 coordinates.

[high dock]

I'm a beginner in making vrchat world, I saw a tutorial on youtube to test the world, when I click build and test. vrchat does not open but what appears is a pop up microsoft store. how to solve this?

[upper obsidian]

Open sdk settings and specify the path to VRChat.exe

[high dock]

thanks bro, it works

[rain harness]

Yup!

Hopefully I'll be able to upload a world by the time I finish making this...

[somber axle]

workin on sumthin :3

[bold ibex]

Is it possible to add footstep sounds?

[upper obsidian]

You can, tracking legs, and a trigger collider.

[tribal linden]

Anyone know how I can make a sword damage a player? I saw a tutorial but it must be outdated because it was for SDK2
VRC_CombatSystem is Deprecated

[tribal linden]

Looks awesome

[somber axle]

@fleet bay made the scene. im just putting the stuff together and doing the udon scripts

[kind leaf]

see Toly's combat system on vrcprefabs.com, while it is written for guns, you'll get the idea and can modify the weapons to suit your needs.

[tribal linden]

I'll look into it right away

[crystal aspen]

I did place the "UdonSyncPlayer" into my world and put a videourl for autostart into it.. but when i upload my world for testing, i cant ender an url into the adress thingi.. cant interact with it..

[icy swift]

does anyone have any experience in blender

I made this in unity and exported it

but is there a way to combine all of the polygons so it doesnt look weird with lighting

example:

[kind leaf]

Select the inputfield and ensure the udon behavior is present.

[crystal aspen]

It dosnt have an udon behavior anywhere in the input fields

[kind leaf]

There is only one input field, the one displayed in the above screenshot is a caret. If it is broken it should have a missing component message where the udon behavior was. Without the input field udon behavior the input field will not work. This behavior is in the provided prefabs

[crystal aspen]

atm it looks like this

[kind leaf]

expand the VRC Url input component

[crystal aspen]

this?

When i test it with "CyanEmu" in unity it works, but not in VRC after uploading it

[kind leaf]

If thats the case make sure the VRC Ui Shape is attached to the canvas

Also make sure that the Pos Z position for the InputField GameObject + all children are at 0. They are at 0 by default

[crystal aspen]

is in and moment.. will look into this

and for the canvas etc everything is on 0

[kind leaf]

The only remaining check is to make sure the canvas isnt accidentally inside another colliders.

[crystal aspen]

well... i will look later more into it.. thx kev.. hope i can fix this... XD now im going into vrc rp.. ^^

Later i will try putting the prefab new into the scene maybe this will help.. if not well.. dont know XD

[thick granite]

anyone know how to fix this error? using the 2.0 sdk for worlds

[nocturne jungle]

How could i make it so my world lighting doesnt show on the "screens" so it looks like regular computer screens

[chilly hawk]

Could be wrong, but I think that's what 'unlit' shaders are for

[nocturne jungle]

how could i go about messing with those

oh found it

lol thank you

[chilly hawk]

When using terrains, should I use lots of small terrains rather than a single big one?

[nocturne jungle]

Could someone link me to a Chair/Object collider toggle?

[kind leaf]

There is a lot more to terrain then that but yeah. The smaller your chunks the more occlusion culling can be utilized.

[nocturne jungle]

Why doesnt my post processing show much effect in game?

to be honest, doesnt look like i can see it at all

[kind leaf]

Make sure your reference camera is set

[nocturne jungle]

uhh how do i do that lol @kind leaf

[chilly hawk]

Great, thanks. Just gotta deal with the horrible terrain editor now.

Unless I'm missing something, making slopes is horrible

Wish I had a plane with nodes I could raise/lower instead for lower poly terrain

[kind leaf]

The resolution of the terrain is in your hands. But yeah, node based would be nice

There are node based terrain generators for unity, you just need to construct the terrain in a project free from vrc, then use a terrain to mesh tool to convert it to something useable for you

[kind leaf]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_scenedescriptor
Just apply the camera where it asks for it in the scene descriptor (VRCWorld)

[nocturne jungle]

Like this?

[nocturne jungle]

Now it aint workin at all ;-;

[gaunt egret]

you put the camera where the "vrcworld" is if im understanding kevbal right

not the vrcworld

[nocturne jungle]

👍

But now the post processing itself isnt working

lmao

[gaunt egret]

oh i see

oh it looks like you already have it wtf

linking a doc where it only explains what things are is not helpful at all lmao. i would refollow the post processing set up video

you can change parameters in the post processing to make it stronger or lighter

[raven lagoon]

i need some help because idk what im doing wrong, this error wont go away

[daring sigil]

Hi, im just working on a world and its my first time making one that is quest compatible. Is there any way to use textures with transparency? and also metalic materials?

[gaunt egret]

transparency is not supported on quest at all, metallic is supported in standard lite

[daring sigil]

Ah ok thanks!

[nocturne jungle]

I cant help but i love your energy 😂

[raven lagoon]

thanky ^.^ haha

[left rain]

this is not entirely true. you can use transparent materials in quest worlds; just not quest avatars

transparency is pretty tough on the quest though, so it should be used sparingly

[bold ibex]

Does poiyomi shaders work with worlds?

[green lagoon]

just don't go crazy with the transparent materials as they're more expensive on mobile Hardware compared to PC

[left rain]

yes. you can use any shader you want on quest, though you will get warnings and you should be careful about overdoing it with fancy materials

[green lagoon]

so you're probably not going to have a good time if you're trying to Port a realistic Forest to Quest

[bold ibex]

Even with worlds?

[gaunt egret]

ive never seen a quest world with transparency lol

[green lagoon]

YES

[left rain]

mine uses it. just carefully.

[bold ibex]

Ok my world works fine in unity but crashes in vrchat

[left rain]

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

[bold ibex]

What this

[left rain]

that's my world.

[bold ibex]

Ah ok

[left rain]

there's transparency on a few places. but it's otherwise pretty well optimized

it's definitely doable, just be careful where you use it, and use lite shaders where possible

the less materials the better

[bold ibex]

Do you know what could be causing vrchat on my world

[green lagoon]

we wouldn't be able to diagnose with literally no info on the world except crashing

[bold ibex]

I ripped the map from a game
Got rid of all the broken scripts and replaced the shaders to poiyomi

[green lagoon]

I'd suggest swapping all the shaders to standard light shaders

also what special effects are you even using to warrant poiyomi

[bold ibex]

Nothing special just someone told me to use them

[green lagoon]

well that's kind of silly of them

[bold ibex]

I'll try standard light
I'm at work right now so I'll get back to you tonight

Can I dm you when I get home

[green lagoon]

sure

[left rain]

poiyimi shaders are neat but not nearly as efficient as standard lite, only use them when you need them

[green lagoon]

and most of those special effects wouldn't be applicable on worlds

@left rain just gone wandering around The Conservatory very good job on it

[left rain]

much appreciated!

[green lagoon]

and definitely good idea having all of the plants be pure geometry to make it run on the quest

[left rain]

yeah, i had to carefully choose plant species to avoid using transparency.

the only actual transparent shaders involved are the window glass and the hidden whisky bottles

[cobalt smelt]

Unity (2019.4.3.31f1) seems to sometimes mangle the transparent areas (alpha) of textures. It happens with both the standard shader, and with a basic, unlit, vertex shader I made, but not with Particles/Standard Surface, so I'm guessing its something specific to vertex shaders, but I'm not sure. Anyone know what causes it and/or how to fix or work around it?

[kind leaf]

If by linking the camera breaks post processing completely then you have more than one camera in the scene. Its an ultra simple setup and outside of the inital setup all that is required to make it render in vrchat is to link it to the reference camera spot in the SD. PP does not work in Quest btw.

[kind leaf]

A doc that explains what things are is exactly what someone that has no idea needs. Knowing what and where is more important than just blindly following a tutorial and learning nothing. 😉

[gaunt egret]

learn nothing from tutorials lol

[kind leaf]

just as hilarious as learning from reading huh 😉

The irony is complaining about reading while asking for assistance in discord which requires reading lol

[nocturne jungle]

Does this count the camera being on the one post processing component?

[kind leaf]

So normally your scene has one camera, and you attach the post processing to it. If you made another than use that as your reference

Just make sure you only have an audio listener on the reference camera while you are at it. Only want one per scene

A camera comes with one activated by default so two cameras means you have two audio listeners as well

Basic setup, with minimal toggle support

[nocturne jungle]

Ill have to check it out

Thank you

[kind leaf]

if you need further assistance getting it to work, feel free to dm, i can screenshare after 9pm est

[nocturne jungle]

10-4

@kind leaf Youre a magical human being thank you SO much

[nocturne jungle]

How can i make it so peoples avatars dont glare up like the sun?

[left rain]

increase the bloom threshold

[wind girder]

Any suggestions on what I should put on this shelf?

[bold ibex]

help

what mean

[nocturne jungle]

what kind of world you going for

uh, is this normal VRC?

[bold ibex]

creepy

[azure tendon]

i need help

[bold ibex]

same

[nocturne jungle]

i never seen that pop up when ive used spotify

[azure tendon]

I get an error that says this "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
VRCSDK2.RuntimeWorldCreation.Start () (at Assets/VRCSDK/Dependencies/VRChat/Scripts/RuntimeWorldCreation.cs:82)"

[misty wave]

pictures of me

[wind girder]

lol maybe

[azure anchor]

On blender, can you put more than one material on an object?

[fair musk]

can anyone get on a call with me and help me fix this?

[near escarp]

Yes

[azure anchor]

Does anyone have a white wood material?

[gaunt egret]

mmm lets see if the bot will snipe this link

[gaunt egret]

https://ambientcg.com/

[azure anchor]

I have already been there\

There is no white wood material

[gaunt egret]

you can edit the color of anything

lol

any image editor

[azure anchor]

Wait

Okay so how I would I do that then?

[gaunt egret]

i would recommend gimp

[azure anchor]

Okay

[gaunt egret]

i use a drawing program called krita to do my edits because i draw too, but i know the bare minimum of gimp to help change a wood color lol

[limber panther]

I'm using a super basic video player for some general music for my world, but I can't seem to get it to loop. I figured I just had to hit 'Loop' on the video player, but is there something I'm missing?

[indigo frigate]

Would it be possible to make a VR Chat world from a 3DS/Citra assets?
I want to make a world from a 3DS game that means a lot to me, is this possible?

[gaunt egret]

i don't see why not but thats asset ripping and usually people here won't help with that

[indigo frigate]

Oh ok, I understand

[gaunt egret]

none of these settings look weird, i had the same exact problem before throwing in the towel and just using https://github.com/MerlinVR/USharpVideo

im not an expert by any means, so i could be wrong about your settings but this worked right out of the box after following the directions

[umbral dune]

alright I might have brain damage - I build a quest version of my world, but when I test it out with a quest user, I can't see them

oh my god only as I send that I realise

the quest is on the open beta

[gaunt egret]

im not good and not bad, but ask your question instead of asking to ask :p https://dontasktoask.com/

[limber panther]

seems like changing to the other video player component fixed it. weird, but whatever

[gaunt egret]

oh thats good. if it works it works lol

[azure anchor]

I removed it anyways..

[gaunt egret]

you're allowed to ask questions xd

[azure anchor]

Can I make a useable window for quest users?

And how does that work?

[kind leaf]

I assume you mean a transparent surface. You can use the standard shader for World Development on Quest. You can also use something lighter like Filament. Transparencies are heavy, they are not forbidden.

[azure anchor]

Okay cool. I also have another question. It has to do with the pool table. Has anyone else got an error from unity when trying to do the test build?

I had to delete the package entirely

[kind leaf]

This table https://github.com/VRCBilliards/vrcbce ? If so, no. Not when ensuring the required dependencies are met.

[azure anchor]

Yep. This one. It gave me an error and told me some of the scripts were wrong

[kind leaf]

depends on the exact error messages but basically it just means there is a conflict or a lack of requirements being met. Re-read the git and follow the directions, double check and you should be fine. If there is a preexisting issue you should have those errors before the import. Also make sure you are importing the latest build and not the git master.

[azure anchor]

It really didn’t tell me much at all. :/

[kind leaf]

Requirements:

A project with the latest VRChat SDK3 Release installed in it
The project also has the latest UdonSharp
The project also has TextMeshPro installed in it.

Its that simple.

[azure anchor]

The sdk3 I got two days ago xD

I just now started out

everything is up to date

[kind leaf]

So you have UdonSharp?
Its not the same as Udon

[azure anchor]

I can put it back into my scene and show you

[azure anchor]

Idk?

[kind leaf]

https://github.com/vrchat-community/UdonSharp

[azure anchor]

Got it again

And this is with the UdonSharp, latest version of the VRCB, and SDK3

🤷‍♂️

[kind leaf]

The highlighted error isnt a script compile error. There should be other errors shown.

[azure anchor]

That's all I kept getting ;-;

[kind leaf]

do you have clear errors on build selected?

[azure anchor]

Nothing in my hierarchy had errors. Only when I added the asset to my project, it freaks out

I haven't even touched it yet.

[nocturne jungle]

Could anyone link me to a good tutorial on how to do a collider toggle?

[kind leaf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-YSWkJtutI

[tribal linden]

Anyone know if there is a feasible way to make a glider? XD

[kind leaf]

I'm sure you inspired someone... All vehicles are the same at the core. A vrc_station which is influenced by an udon script based on conditions being met. You could theoretically take any flight prefab, disable the mesh renderer and throw a glider object in as a child and have a wonky glider.

[tribal linden]

Yo! I'm pretty sure I was looking up a plugin made by you Yesterday xD

[azure anchor]

I tried making it to where the an object can turn on and off a mirror and it's not working.

[tribal linden]

I saw a good tutorial on it recently that even helped with the HQ and LQ

want me to send you the link?

[tribal linden]

I would think that having an object that you can hold onto and falls slowly could be pulled off farely easy with an Udon behaviour, but I'm still really green

[azure anchor]

Yes please!

[cerulean echo]

@azure anchor i think you not addet the mirron on the script maybe you not done it public so you can add the gameobject or you not addet it the script looks ok

[azure anchor]

I am sorry but do what now?

[cerulean echo]

Do you addet the mirror on the script ? On the gameobject where the script is ?

[azure anchor]

Yes

It did not work what so ever

[cerulean echo]

The script looks ok weard but you can click on the button? Maybe screenshot the gameobject where the script is

[azure anchor]

I will later. I'll let you know what happened

[cerulean echo]

@azure anchor ok but i looket my script and its 100% like yors so should work maybe you forgot to press compile?. no idea but a screenshot would be good to see but try to press the compile maybe that helps but normaly should work

[azure anchor]

Maybe it was the compile

Where do I do that on?

[shut lichen]

i wonder work for OSC?

[cerulean echo]

where the notes ar up in the i think right corner

no idea if its that like say would be good to got also a screen to see whats going on

[tribal linden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m02WrMnseVE&t=215s

This tutorial was very usefull for me

half way trough with it I had my mirrors done xP

[azure anchor]

Oh okay. I’ll try that out then

[quasi fern]

that entire series of videos is very helpful. i recommend watching all of them.

[tribal linden]

Yea, they seem really helpfull

[somber axle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUALbgztU5Y

this will maybe help u a bit

also i have a question

how can i make a toggle for pickups? like a local toggle. just for the player

[frail whale]

how long about does it take to make a world start to finish?

like weeks or days or hours?

i have an idea for a world but am def gonna need help

[left rain]

it entirely depends on the complexity and quality of what you're trying to build, and how well you know what you're doing

definitely think weeks or months more than days or hours unless you're already very skilled or you're building a very minimalist space

[frail whale]

ok great thanks

[tribal linden]

Yea you could pop a simple world in an hour or spend months making a Complex one... What do you have in mind?

[wintry iron]

any one have a prefab worlds on vrchat besites

[bold ibex]

Hello I'm having trouble on searching worlds (I'm mean looking for worlds) and I'm new on VRChat 😅

[wintry iron]

what mean?

[peak sluice]

Hi, I need some advice, is there any way to make a border for models that have been exported via .fbx so that collider doesn't have to make a manual

[wintry iron]

any one have a prefab worlds on vrchat wesites

[left rain]

you can just make a separate mesh collider FBX and use that... but in general they are much less efficient than using simple box colliders.
