[late ruin]

I believe this is the error that's stopping me..

[kind leaf]

did you install sdk2 at some point?

[late ruin]

never had it i dont think

[late ruin]

i have searched my project for sdk 2 nothing shows..

i legit have the newest one from vr chat website

[pastel coyote]

VRCDN is whitelisted already

[kind leaf]

Check your DMs 🙂

[kind leaf]

of course, ive been using it for a while now.

Someone should get vrc to update the whitelisted list on the docs tho so people know to look for the vrcdn service.

[pastel coyote]

[kind leaf]

Issue was multiple pipelinemanagers. Removing all but one solved this.

[idle jolt]

Is there a free underwater effect out there on the internet? I tried to follow the generic unity tutorials but I can't figure out how to make the post processing darker and stay inside of the box collider that I set as a trigger.

[left rain]

if you want a postprocess volume to darken something, just use a color grading override and drop the post-exposure

to limit the effect to a specific volume, use a trigger-type collider component

[leaden plume]

I have an idea for a world, but I don't see how I can implement it. I want the world to have a day/night toggle, the lighting system is easy enough, but is there a way to have the skybox change from a daytime skybox to a starry night skybox? the skybox seems to not be able to put in the hierarchy so can't be easily toggled on/off I made 2 separate ones, any suggestions on how to do something like this?

[leaden plume]

Thank you! at first glance looks like that will do the trick, just need to watch it like 5 times so i don't miss anything he says he goes real fast

[idle jolt]

Made a blueprint of sorts lol
Does it look good, or should I change the layout?

[azure anchor]

Does anyone know why it's saying this? My world works but like, it's giving me a warning?

[lyric wasp]

does anyone know of a good zoom/focus video camera prefab that can be used for anyone to pick up and film a stream that we send out to the owner's obs?

[azure anchor]

I do not

[lyric wasp]

and your error messages aren't any i've ever seen before! and i've seen a lot.

[azure anchor]

Lmao. Guess I am the first xD

[azure anchor]

It doesn't break my world either so it's just there

also

do you have any knowledge about the VRCBillard table?

[lyric wasp]

not really, i tried playing it in a map, one of them anyway, the other day, and couldn't figure out how to get started

[azure anchor]

Okay because I have it in my world but it doesn’t work. It’s just there

[lyric wasp]

hmm, yeah sorry not something i've added to a map myself, although was thinking i might in the future

but confused why with my index controllers i couldn't pick up the cue the other day, maybe i missed something in starting the game

[azure anchor]

Did you start the game?

[cold meteor]

how do you edit the pose a chair puts you in?

[azure anchor]

Idk about that either ):

[sullen fiber]

does anyone know a short version on how to set up reflection probe?

[toxic fulcrum]

Right-click hierarchy, Light - Reflection probe. Select it, click bake. Done!

Maybe position it roughly in the middle of the room too. ¦3

Edit the bounds of it too~

[desert python]

you locate the center of a room of a mesh. you add a new gameobject “reflection probe”. put in center of room. make sure its set to bake. make the yellow box follow the rims of the walls, this is the effected zone. make sure the walls are reflection probe static and then hit the bake button in the reflection probe compinent in the inspector. change settings according to your desire

preferible settings: use box projection for most accurrate reflection.
make near plane bigger so close up objects are not in the baked reflection blocking a lot of the cubemap

[toxic fulcrum]

Does anyone know of a lit decal shader that works in VRC?

I really want to add art to a world in a non-destructive way... so like, not having to retexture a whole damn wall.

[desert python]

i keep hearing about many that exist but no clear direction. i would assume googling it with “vrc” might come up with good results

or poiyomi just magically has lit decal option everyone uses

[toxic fulcrum]

I'll drop a google search occasionally with next to no decent results. I've tried a couple but they just don't work well.
I don't think I can use poiyomi... On a single building mesh, I wanna be able to add something here, and something else there... pois only has a single layer I think.

There's Reros that uses a particle... but I haven't been able to get it working.

Unitys projector just seems to cover the whole damn mesh... and Built In RP doesn't have the nice HDRP method of a cube that you can just intersect a wall to do it...

[kind leaf]

A quick solution is to just slap the decal on a plane and use the same occlusion mask the wall has for the decal art and set the decal as fade. This should give the effect that the art is painted on the wall.

[desert python]

poiyomi uses a locking system thatll save only the shader params you use rather than using the whole cluster shader

[desert python]

thats not a bad idea

[fathom ruin]

where can i get the working polaroid camera for my world?

[toxic fulcrum]

I'm not familiar with occlusion masks - can you explain more please?

[kind leaf]

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

[toxic fulcrum]

I mean, say I have a single mesh wall... and want to put a picture up in the top left, a different picture in the bottom left, another in the top right, another in the bottom right... You can't add multiple decals onto a material with pois, right?

[toxic fulcrum]

Oh! Right... but only works on flat walls. I would need it to conform to a mishapen mesh, like a bumpy ground.

This kinda thing is what I'm after~

[kind leaf]

couldnt you just convert the HDRP version into a mesh so the decal becomes a solid object replace the shader to a BRT after the fact and export it into a BRT project? Aside from that, I think Easy Decals works for BRT.

BRT? lol meant BRP

[toxic fulcrum]

Easy Decals doesn't mention BRP... 🤔

Wait, yes it does... huh!

[kind leaf]

The box projection might not work in vrc but you can use the atlas option to modify your existing textures automatically. Just save it as an alternate version so its not destructive.

[toxic fulcrum]

I didn't wanna do it with textures as it wouldn't work for tiled materials, is the only thing~

If it was 1,1 texture on a wall, I could just paint it on. But if it's tiled, or across a few meshes, it'd be a pain.

Gonna read through the docs, and see how Easy Decal works on BRP~

Fluff it... will drop some cash on it, see how it goes. ¦3

Cheers for the suggest~

[sullen fiber]

Is there any free rain assets?

[left rain]

rain means a lot of different things. what are you looking for specifically?

rain sliding down glass? rain impacting the ground? rain falling? they're all different effects

[toxic fulcrum]

Falling rain is pretty easy to make with a particle system. Could even do the splashes with sub-emitters and collision~

[sleek swift]

Does anyone have a daytime city skybox?

[clear hazel]

hey, does anyone here know much about world creation? I'm having an issue with my world and idk how to fix it. my world was uploading and updating fine for a while but then out of nowhere it stopped allowing anyone to enter the world, it will download and load the world and send anyone that tries to enter into their home world instead of my world including myself.

[sleek swift]

that sound familiar, make sure the pipeline manager is only on one item in the scene, type t:pipelinemanager in the hierarchy search bar

[fossil wolf]

Uh does anyone know this
since "plane" game object is transparent in Unity from the back, Is it supported on Quest VRChat as well or does it perform very poorly?

[clear hazel]

ah!! thank you!!

[left rain]

Any object by default is going to be single-sided. It's actually more performant that way... double sided shaders are expensive.

This applies to both PCVR and Quest.

[fossil wolf]

Oh so this transparency is supported by Quest as well then or will it be like blank for them?

[left rain]

it's not really transparency, objects simply aren't drawn from the back

[fossil wolf]

Oh I see

Thank you mr Waffle Toad Storm

[left rain]

anytime

[random sphinx]

not totally sure if this is the right place to ask but here goes; I want to make a screen fade. I'm trying to do this with UI right now using screen space overlay. obviously this works for desktop, but not for VR. so i'm looking for a way to make it work in VR?

[left rain]

you could probably create a world space overlay and use VRCPlayerAPI.GetTrackingData to parent it to the player's head

i think there are better shader-based ways to do this, though. probably just using a shader that draws higher in the render queue and is drawn as a sphere around the player's head or whatever and fades in/out. you could try asking in #shaders

[misty wave]

Generally speaking, is it possible to have multiple video players in one world streaming different content? I'm interested in potentially using shadergraphs to transmit information into VRChat.

[desert python]

yes

[misty wave]

I would suggest perhaps using just a sphere with a volumetric shader and fading it in on alpha, and yeah additionally would be helpful to have it parented to the head like @left rain suggests

[misty wave]

Slick! No issues with it really??? like it's stable?

[desert python]

just dont sync them with other players and youll be ok

however. if youre streaming dynamic content, try to keep it all in one video if possible

youll have a 5 second rate limit period before another videoplayer can fire

[random sphinx]

i've never done volumetric shaders before... any examples?

[swift trench]

Trying to new the new clientsim and got this error

[misty wave]

Got it! Thank you!

[misty wave]

I'm not sure of the best way to do this, I think it's possible with poiyomi - but something like Poiyomi's fog??? Should work? But if you're parenting it to the head, then just an opaque black colour on its own should work~

I wonder if doing this with post processing stack is also possible

[random sphinx]

i was wondering about that too

[misty wave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJVoESLbWaU&ab_channel=TheFourHeadedCat It looks like it's possible, but probably more complicated

[random sphinx]

yeah figured it would be

[inner bane]

Hi there. I am new to Unity. I installed the version noted on the website, but upon importing the VRC SDK3 into a new 3d Project, I get all these Udon.Graph errors. Is this normal? Can I ignore and continue, or do I need to resolve this somehow? I have not really done anything other than import the SDK, so not sure where things are going wrong.

[stark skiff]

yes you can igrt it

also make you download this https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/releases/tag/v0.20.3

i need for vrc devr or mods i ender in the jam and download the the exelmale pack and i get error's what im doing worng

[kind leaf]

#vrchat-jams all jam questions should be directed there.

[upper obsidian]

This is not normal, some packages could not either download or install.
Check the internet and restart the unity. Find and fix what is the problem.

[kind leaf]

its actually quite common to have a wall of red on the first import. Press clear on the console. if they go away you are good to go

[swift trench]

and clientsim is still ded

and rip my project

at this point ima have to redo it

where is the best place to find assets? like dj table, chairs,pool table and stuff?

Use CyanEmu this is the first I have ever heard of ClientSim

[swift trench]

yeh ive been useing cyan for ages but wanted to transition to official, that was a mistake

[green lagoon]

ClientSim is the new vrchat made version of CyanEmu that's currently being tested out in the new World jam

[swift trench]

resorted to cyanemu as that actualy functions

[swift trench]

apparently its a fork of cyanemu aswell

[stone marsh]

Yes it's def in testing lol

[green lagoon]

yup

[swift trench]

I think my SDK corrupted

[desert python]

did you import something that included its own vrcsdk?

[swift trench]

posibly, I imported ClientSim useing its git method

and vrc world is a dependency

yeh there was one in the packages folder

[desert python]

that was in clientsim?

thats like. extremely new

was cyanemu even made in 2017 unity?

[swift trench]

IDK lul

I thaugh SDK3 was 2018+ only lul

also this is an intersting outlook on quest 1 support being droped

quest 1 ^

quest 2 vvv

[green lagoon]

that's a big difference in the amount of triangles and where are the screenshots from

[swift trench]

https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/j32vaw/performance_analysis_for_oculus_quest_2_oculus/

redit post about quoteing oculus

out of the birds mouth directly

https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-perf/?locale=en_US

1Million tri on 2

I allways thaugh 1 was 100k tho, thats what they said early on

[green lagoon]

like that difference is probably why the maximum triangle count on avatars got doubled a while ago

[swift trench]

probably

as my calculations say 80 good avatars are sod out of luck on quest at 800,000 TRI
Leaveing 200k tris for the world

[green lagoon]

the CPU would probably die in pain like the CPU cost of avatars existing before the triangles killed it on 80 avatars on quest

[swift trench]

40 avatars (hard cap without funneling) is kinda more reasonable

[green lagoon]

also that 80-count one would leave like no draw calls left for the world on quest one

[swift trench]

Its ither 200k spare if poor
400k if medium
600K if good
and 700k if you hate your users

(quest 2 math)

[swift trench]

not really, if we use the busy stat

[green lagoon]

good to know

[idle jolt]

Does anyone know where I can find some good shipping containers house models? Something like this https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/containher-house-3df987d661e1408f85d40bf05d8dd4a1

[swift trench]

remember VRchat wastes a few of them on true transparent HUD

[green lagoon]

definitely good info to know as I would like to try my hand at making Quest compatible world

so good to know my budget as far as how nice can I make it while still being very performant

[swift trench]

that is not a good container lol

that mesh is dence

[idle jolt]

I’m looking for free models anyways lol.

Maybe I could apply a cloth in blender? Never done anything like that before

[green lagoon]

and it also uses 4 4K PBR materials so lots of vram

[scarlet moon]

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to make carpet like this in Blender? Shoutout WispyWoo's - The Reservoir.

[near escarp]

A custom shader

[swift trench]

that looks like an absolute nightmare if you tryed to polymesh that

RIP the quest 2 1Million Tris on 1M^2 of carpet

[green lagoon]

that does appear to be a custom Shader

not sure it would go much better going with hair cards for the carpet on quest

[left rain]

looks like heightmapping to me. that's built into the standard shader

[kind leaf]

Yeah noise shaders tend to work well on pcvr but ultimately fail for quest. Ive yet to find one. Heightmap support would be nice.

if heightmap is supported I havent gotten it to work without distortion. I just avoid that particular map

[left rain]

they're kind of tricky to work with, and expensive, so it's best to avoid them if you can either way

they are definitely supported on PC for sure. not sure about quest. either way it's an included input on the standard shader, which in theory should be fully supported for worlds

[green lagoon]

I probably just go with a flat carpet for the quest build

[left rain]

export fbx

it'll have slots that can be remapped to unity materials. shaders don't translate 1:1 so you usually have to rebuild your materials to work with unity's standard shader or whatever you're using. then in the mesh import settings you can map your materials from blender to the unity materials.

[green lagoon]

you would want to convert those into regular geometry

[kind leaf]

basically you just model in blender and map. dont waste time on shading and perfect lighting because it wont translate anyway. All your beautifying has to be done in Unity

[left rain]

emission is a shader property, so yeah don't worry about it. any shaders you apply in blender are essentially named placeholders that you can attach unity materials to.

as long as the name stays the same between exports, you can keep tweaking your blender scene and re-importing, and the substitute materials will link up if you set them in the mesh import settings for the fbx.

[heavy wasp]

Hey so I've looked through the chat here, but I can't seem to find my exact issue.

I'm using s-ilent's SkyProbe Fog, and it's working perfectly in the editor. However, once I go into VRChat, the fog is totally screwed up. It seems to be not only turned upside down, but flipped horizontally as well.

(Pics are Unity vs VRChat, respectively)

Not sure if anyone has any idea what's wrong.

If it helps whatsoever, the fog almost seems to "stick" to my head, but the rotation is multiplied? Like, turning my head 90 degrees sideways makes it rotate 180, etc.

The fog itself seems to be correct, but it's being mapped to the wrong place when in VRChat.

I’m not sure where this goes but how would you have an avatar world? I just wanna use an avatar and I’m too low of a rank to upload it myself

I can’t find anything online and I’m in a bit of a rush to figure this out tonight since my sibling wants to use my oculus

[kind leaf]

An avatar world is just a world that hosts Displays uploaded avatars.
If you are looking for an avatar just login and search for avatars.
There are too many avatar worlds to list some of which are at the default VRChat home world.

[bold ibex]

No it’s my own avatar that I let someone else upload since they have the rank and I don’t

and I can’t search for avatars soooo yeA

Does anyone know how to fix the VRCBillard table? It won’t work at all and I don’t know why. Before any says anything, yes everything is up to date as I am a new creator. I have all the things I needed to support it too but once it’s in my world, it’s just an unworkable table.

uh?

Wrong menu for uploading worlds?

and it doesnt let me upload

it works when i build and test

the top one is the one i imported and the bottom one is the one i downloaded to double check

let me try build and publishing again and check errors

this is all my errors

scared to delete and import a different sdk

[nocturne jungle]

if i delete my old sdk and reimport a new one will that break everything

since my sdk doesnt have the correct upload screen, shown above if you want to try and see

[nocturne jungle]

Obviously i know i shouldnt use these and i rarely do, but i imported the modded sdk and it didnt change anything. The upload ui is still wrong.

[azure anchor]

I see an error for an SDK2

[nocturne jungle]

?!

[azure anchor]

You don't have anything that is for sdk2 instead or 3 do you?

[nocturne jungle]

I fixed it, literally all i did was move the Scene Descriptor from VRCWorld and put it onto main camera and it fixed it

curious when it comes to pc <-> quest network interop, is it that the tree heirarchy has to match or do the objects within the tree and the tree node sorting have to match exactly

my vrcworld object is placed where i want to spawn too

[nocturne jungle]

Did you add any colliders to your floor? Or maybe try raising the spawn

[rugged jolt]

when i respawn im fine its only on the first spawn that the location is wrong

and yes i have full colliders and they work

Thats the normal spawn location

this is where i spawn on the first try

at 0 0 0

it's not a collision problem

[nocturne jungle]

Setting this to public but it doesnt show anything in my public variables

[kind leaf]

Try setting your VRCWorld scale to 1,1,1. Might not solve your issue but it has no reason to have any scale besides 1,1,1 and being that the vrcworld is also looking for its own transform.

[nocturne jungle]

so i made a collider toggle and it works to turn the colliders off, but not back on

[kind leaf]

shader? huh, that be a nice toy.
I usually do one of two methods:
Set the max clipping plane distance to the minimal needed to see an entire room and then place each zone that distance +1 further OR
I use an inverted cube with the skybox cube map attached around each structure.
The later method requires removing the skybox from unity.

[nocturne jungle]

Tbh i usually just drag a second room far away lmao

heres my errors when this is like this, when get is on is but into set enabled > value, the script totally breaks and doesnt work at all

when i have Get IsOn not put into Set enabled it will toggle the colliders off, but not back on

[kind leaf]

you have no unary negation there. No I cannot provide an example, you should easily be able to modify a preexisting toggle for a gameobject that is setup correctly. I use U# exclusively

[nocturne jungle]

erm where would i have to put the unary negation? I followed the youtube tutorial and the graph and everything i did is identical to what he'd done

[kind leaf]

shruggs - dunno, the logic of graph is no where near the logic of script so I dont bother with graphs.

For anything Udon related you have a higher probability of getting a correct answer sooner asking in an Udon channel tho. Something to keep in mind. Such as #udon-general for general udon help or #udon-networking for anything networking (synced) related.

[nocturne jungle]

I'm trying to create a secret area in my world; is there a way to hide the main area when you're there?

[kind leaf]

When you bake with bakery using full lighting it is required to disable the light component which means you cannot see them updating after a bake. You use the Light Explorer window to renable them all in mass and you have to remove the bake data to see their effects again. Ideally you setup your lighting using real time and then switch them to baked, and adjust your bake settings until it looks as you want it.

I bake after every change while building because i need to see instant results so the process just seems fluid to me.

if you need that kind of response from the lighting, if you just need to add a light there is no need to clear the data, but if you need to reset your lighting then ya, it makes it easier

[sullen fiber]

I have a larger map ive been working on in blender, and when I save the said map and port into unity, unity doesnt seem to save the materials. Anyone got ideas?

[kind leaf]

Unity doesnt read the blender materials. Just adds a placeholder for you to make them in unity and assign them to the import. You'll want to port in your textures to match

[sullen fiber]

Even when I save materials to said object? Ive imported stuff like that before

[gloomy salmon]

i need sum help, i have a model here that's split up into multiple pieces, all separate, i want them all to separate once the object hits the ground/something else at a certain speed, can i do that in vrc 0.o

[kind leaf]

yeah add a trigger to the parent object and a rigged body + collider to each piece. When the trigger is crossed by a surface object toggle gravity on the ridged body. Youll have to script the velocity. absolutely doable in vrc. Use Udon, UdonSharp to script it

• you can scip the velocity stuff if you just want a realistic gravity break

[gloomy salmon]

uuuu ok, i'll see what i can do

[nocturne jungle]

Is there a way I can keep gravity enabled on my objects but only have it activate when someone touches it? Because Ive now finished my collider toggle but the pickups fall through the things that get toggled now and Im wondering if theres anyway to make them have no gravity until interacted with

[kind leaf]

Set their initial state to kin, then using OnDrop set kin to off and gravity on.

The normal setup what is going on behind the scene is no matter if its set to gravity or kin, kin is enabled on pickup or the object would fall through your hands. kin is disabled on drop.

the pickup component needs a 3rd tick. Initial state, and then the two idle states. eliminate some coding on our end

[gloomy salmon]

trigger? trigger component? or are u talking about in udon

[kind leaf]

trigger is a toggle for every collider minus mesh

unity related not sdk related

[gloomy salmon]

@w@ ur confusing me

is it the "event trigger" component

is it a component at all? 🥴

thank

[kind leaf]

bakery lighting is about 50% less as strong as Unity's poor lighting setups, its the quality settings. I dont know what bad means in your case tho so its hard to give advice.

[hasty anvil]

hey could someone tell me why i can't change the image anymore?

[kind leaf]

makes sure you are applying your light changes to the bakery component as well

your shadows on the bakery are probably .05 this is a hard shadow. use .5 for a medium soft.

yes

[hasty anvil]

also to anyone who can help me, I DO have a vrc cam activated and even pointing in a cool direction, but it won't load the image and that check box above it is useless. Plz help

[kind leaf]

is your playmode paused?

[hasty anvil]

nope

ooookay it apparently was the fog

figured it out

[kind leaf]

wtf why

Using unity fog?

[hasty anvil]

i dunno

just the fog in the lighting settings

even lowering the opacity to the maximum low doesnt fix it lol. Oh well, at least I solved the problem

[gilded summit]

Anyone know how to blacklist people

[azure anchor]

Does anyone know how to fix the VRCBillard table? It won’t work at all and I don’t know why. Before any says anything, yes everything is up to date as I am a new creator. I have all the things I needed to support it too but once it’s in my world, it’s just an unworkable table.

[kind leaf]

tos violation so if we do it wouldnt be in anyones interest to tell you here.

[gilded summit]

What is tos?

[kind leaf]

terms of service.

[green lagoon]

basically it's against the law in vrchat to have automated moderation like that

[kind leaf]

you can whitelist or privatize specific rooms but the core gameplay of a world must be accessible to all. So admins in an admin room is ok. If not its a grey area (or highly debated lol)

[gilded summit]

What's white listing?

[kind leaf]

same as blacklisting but for allowance only lol. Like a password on a door.

plenty of keypad entry prefabs on https://www.vrcprefabs.com

keep in mind, the main gameplay of your world must be accessible. if you require a keypad entry to enter your world it will get flagged at some point

uploading a public world means you want it to be public 🙂

[nocturne jungle]

Anyone have a good 3d rug material?

[kind leaf]

you need BPR Bex, https://gist.github.com/mauricesvay/1330cc530f6ab2ef33eb6a5ea56ef5bd

gives the illusion of 3d. 3d carpet would murder any game 🙂

[nocturne jungle]

well yeah the illusion haha

[kind leaf]

if nothing on there works you can run a duckduckgo image search for carpets with transparencies and use GIMP in the tools tab > Map and render the image as a normal map. this + the texture will give the the bare minimum 3d effect. I say duckduckgo because its image search returns actual usable images.

[nocturne jungle]

Screw the carpet lol but, what looks better. Bright honeycomb with nothing on it, or honeycomb with backlighting

its a really metalic texture on the honey comb (2nd SS)

[kind leaf]

the 2nd image, maybe try a white backlight. Or not, your scene seems to be all blue so it might stand out too much. Offset colors are nice tho... like image 1 with a white backlight for example

[nocturne jungle]

well im done with unity for a long time

my pc just bluescreened and the scene got reloaded

[worthy horizon]

oh fun. now unity has found a new way to piss me off..

the ui/canvas/text sign objects spontaneously decided they want to render through absolutely everything like the z ordering has been turned off.

[gloomy salmon]

now, what if i wanted the thing to be... reassemblable, in the sense that you grab the pieces that broke off and you put them near where they're supposed to be and it snaps in place

[kind leaf]

you need to store their initial transform position and when they are held by the player (info passed by a bool) and enter the trigger the OnDrop from the player is triggered and the peice goes back to its initial transform position and has kin re-enabled

[gloomy salmon]

im just gonna show you the whole thing

it's the beefy computer from cs_office lol

you say store the initial transform, but i want the whole thing to be movable and grabbable tho

[kind leaf]

yeah. the logic is exactly as described but you are going to need a refresh on C# and a basic unity workflow to implement. Any youtube unity 2019 beginner tutorial will aid you, as for programming you can try Udon tutorials but if you want a clear and vast library you can import UdonSharp and rewrite limited C# in an UdonSharp behavior following both UdonSharp and C# tutorials.

In most cases UdonSharp is C# without the use of enums. There is more to it then that, but I had limited issue converting. So with U# we end up with greater educational library

[gloomy salmon]

thank you!

[bold ibex]

I'm having major issues with unity (can't open project from hub and I can't access vrc control panel) is there anyway I can fully reset unity

[slate relic]

lil question as im not used to use udon where is the avatar prefab? im trying to make a world but i cant find a ref of a avatar (yaknow the blue blank avatar to show ref of the world?) is it gone or it just me being blind?

[upper obsidian]

It has not been in SDK3 for a long time, copy it from SDK2

[slate relic]

oh gotcha

so wait i have to make a project from sdk2 and copy it to sdk3?

[upper obsidian]

https://unitypackage-unpacker.software.informer.com/1.0/

[slate relic]

i did somehow just import the needed file from sdk2 to my sdk3

thx pal 😄

[upper obsidian]

Yes, you can just select a few files when importing, but be careful not to import everything else.

[slate relic]

yeah dw

thx

[bold ibex]

Hi, how can I fix an issue with a quest world being laggy only when facing a mirror?

[green lagoon]

are you the developer of the world because if you're a user visiting the world the only thing you can do is like see if you can disable the mirror

[bold ibex]

Yes developer

[green lagoon]

do changes to it so it's not rendering as much stuff as mirrors are going to be a bit expensive as they're causing everything to render twice

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

[stone marsh]

Be careful with the layers you choose to render in the mirror. The mirror is basically a camera pointing at you, so everything Infront of you in your frustum and everything behind you, in the cameras frustum is rendering.

[bold ibex]

✨

Also, where can I find my player mods? They used to be here. They’re gone now after I reinstalled everything.

[stone marsh]

You use a udon behavior for that

There's not a specific component. An example is included on the VRCworld prefab in the vrchat examples folder

[bold ibex]

Alright thanks

[green lagoon]

also helps if the mirrors is not pointing towards like a giant area with lots of stuff in it

[stone marsh]

Indeed. If it is, it would be best to only render the player layer as I mentioned everything in it's frustum is rendering

[green lagoon]

which is why typically like folks have toggles where there's like two mirror qualities so that you have the only the avatars version and the includes the world version

and also have the mirrors where you have to turn any of them on before they render

[bold ibex]

Ah I don’t like this. I liked how it was before lol 💀

[green lagoon]

you can't really keep good framerate and constantly on full mirror at the same time

[bold ibex]

Oh I mean the player mod stuff

[glad dove]

https://itzsoph.gumroad.com/l/LoveProject free world for anyone that wants to test and play around with things! Show me if you end up doing anything! It be cool to see

[lyric dew]

Anyone have a good youtube video for a tutorial for making ui menus? I want to make a simple toggle for a mirror.

[inner pawn]

when publishing is there a dummy player instance in the world? it seems some Udon scripts i have in a video player are failing when trying to get the master but it only happens when publishing not when building locally

[kind leaf]

The video players will always have errors when uploading. If there are no errors prior to the upload you are fine. Any setup that acquires the the local player information on load will do this. Nothing to worry about.

[tired crystal]

Hello, I just pushed an update to my world, twice even changed player count description and picture. Still im not getting the "Updated recently" flag to appear on my world and I am not listed in updated recently. Furthermore, my last updated date stay the 15/03 even tough I have pushed 2 updated today. sorry if this is the wrong channel, can move it if needed

[kind leaf]

#world-development message

[kind leaf]

^possible solution.

I normally put my own update stamp in the description anyway. Its not like vrc has an updated date filter when searching

Does anyone have a small .wav file of water waves? I don't want to have to splice an 8 hour video lol

[minor stirrup]

Hey, i wonder what i need to do if i want UI elements like toggles and buttons be interactable per "touch", not only by the "laser" interaction. I guess just using the VRC UI Shape does not do that automatically?

[sleek gull]

Wouldn't a box collider work for that?

[minor stirrup]

true, but i want to make a menu, managing colliders for that would kinda suck due to changing positions and amount of buttons. But i could make a button prefab or so. I just wondered if there is anything ready to use already

also i'd not be too sure about how to actually handle to overlap then, to only detect the hand, but not triggering a touch with your belly or so ^^

[desert python]

so youd calc the bone of the players fingers to see if it goes thru a threshold such as a button, but id advice trying out physbones right now and see if it fits the needs

[minor stirrup]

whats physbones? Sorry i just got started ^^

[desert python]

techanon has a pretty varsed touch control system you could disect as well, i advice trying out something like that as it gives a lot more ui and visual control

[minor stirrup]

I had a struggle with udonsharp for 1h, just to figure out i wrote into the start method instead of the update one for rotating :lul:

[desert python]

future dynamic physics thing

[desert python]

happens

[digital bay]

I don't think the avatar dynamics work with the world yet even in beta.

[minor stirrup]

is there some other source for shared assets, other than vrcprefabs.com?

[sleek gull]

So in the Docs, it states Setting up layers to match VRChat's layers. You should definitely do this, otherwise your world may not work properly. But I can't find anything that says exactly what these layers are or how to match them? Am I missing something.

[minor stirrup]

isn't it giving you the option to automatically fix that in the SDK Build menu?

[desert python]

booth.pm or gumroad

[sleek gull]

Not that I'm seeing, it just has video player auto-resynch warning and nothing else

[desert python]

in the control panel

[sleek gull]

In the control panel

[desert python]

the layers are for the general physics and camera rendering layer set up for vrc

there shoukd be an auto fix button

[minor stirrup]

you have put the VRCWorld asset into your scene already?

[sleek gull]

Yeah it's all in there, already tested it to make sure it all works

[kind leaf]

When you first login to the sdk you are prompted to setup the layers and matrix. If you did not build the world yourself you didnt get the message. You cannot view the build tab until this step is done

[sleek gull]

Now I'm onto optimization and adding features

[desert python]

ok so you were just curious

[sleek gull]

Yeah just checking and dotting the I's, making sure I'm not missing anything

[minor stirrup]

i'm still trying to find some funny interactable map idea to start with, so i don't sit here and only test some things i cannot even put together to something authentic then 😂

[desert python]

if you click on an object in your hierarchy, then go to the top right of your inspector, therell be a layers tab. some of them will be self explanatory and some not

[desert python]

make a door maze

[sleek gull]

Did have another question though, I have this distant planet, which shows up fine in scene view and camera preview, but in VRC the planet doesn't show up but the flare does sometimes, sometimes the flare also doesn't show.

[minor stirrup]

Takeshis Castle door race? ^^

[sleek gull]

I did move it far closer to the 'map' but haven't done a test of it yet.

[desert python]

or bubble wrap

[desert python]

or bubble wrap

[desert python]

how far is it from your view pos? vrc by default will render 1000 cubes far

[sleek gull]

I'm not too sure how to measure distance, haven't done anything around this game in 3 years and slowly relearning it all

[desert python]

main camera

i mean. transform component

[sleek gull]

This?

[desert python]

ig that would be close

[misty wave]

building a vr setup for the lab be like

[desert python]

do you know what shader it might be using? and do you have occlussion culling baked?

[sleek gull]

The shader is from the pack 'Space graphics toolkit', occlusion culling bake I have no idea.

[desert python]

bruh where. and which elite strap 130?

[desert python]

try switching to standard and see if it disappears in game

custom unity asset store stuff like shaders can be iffy in vrc. vrc also uses forward rendering and the urp. so some stuff will not work if its meant for a different pipeline

[left rain]

wait... vrc uses urp? i thought it used the standard renderer

[desert python]

usrp

its the one everyone normally uses. name is dynamic

[misty wave]

haha at my uni

[supple drift]

VRC currently uses the built-in render pipeline (not URP or any of the scriptable render pipelines)

[digital bay]

Elite strap is $50, the one with a Battery is $110, Battery and Carry case is $130. prices from amazon

[desert python]

ic. my battery headstrap was $70 but i never knew a carrying case would be included with it

[minor stirrup]

i regret i bought the valve index, i can't even use haptic feedback as it makes my right controllers tracking shaking and drifting off like crazy. And Valve RMAs are pretty time intense. And the controllers are why i wanted the index in first place ._.

[stone marsh]

First I've ever heard of that lmao. Prob bad setup with the lighthouses

[minor stirrup]

well it only happens when vibrating & only for the right one. It became worse and worse over time. My guess would be that the IMU inside is loose and the vibration motor is shaking it like crazy.

https://youtu.be/AooMYtlMu7E

like here it's vibrating in a 1/32 tact ^^

[wary coyote]

is there any way to debug collision in worlds? my world suddenly has collision where it isn't supposed to be, it's like the roof got sligly slower than it's supposed to be and i don't know why. i can no longer walk throuhg doors unless i am a tiny avatar

but it works fine testing in unity, just when i upload it

[kind leaf]

tiny avatar doesnt compute. Unless VRC changed something, a tiny spider and a 12 ft tall eboy have the same 2m tall collider. The highlight reticle is not the collider

[desert python]

avatar height shouldnt change door collider hieght. also i think height was changed to 1.8 or 1.6 at some point

[wary coyote]

i didn't change anything in my world and this started happening tonight

all i did was reupload the world

plus, there's not indication of colliders in unity that's affecting it

[desert python]

maybe they did something for it in OB. are you on OB right now?

[wary coyote]

OB?

if i'm asking, i probably am not

[kind leaf]

open beta

[wary coyote]

nah

[kind leaf]

if you expand any game objects collider component so it is not hidden by the drop down and then select all in the hierarchy your colliders should be visible in scene if gizmos are highlighted.

this works for showing all but mesh colliders

anything that is using 90 degree angles should be using a box anyway

[wary coyote]

yeah i have never experienced this bug before

i'm trying to figure out what's causing it, but i didn't change anything in my world other than bake my lighting

whaaat! i just ifgured out what it is and that's so dumb

turns out the effect on my avatar that was playing changed my height

[kind leaf]

lol well at least you got it sorted

[wary coyote]

thanks for helping me out though, i appreciate it haha

[whole sleet]

hi, im wondering where i can get prefabs such as flashlights, games etc for my world (preferably for free)

[sleek gull]

VRCprefabs.com has a good amount of stuff

[chilly shoal]

Having the same errors with installing clientsim via git. I removed it from the package manager for now. I'm guessing they changed something in the beta sdks which I'm not using at this time.

[whole sleet]

tyy

[sleek gull]

Got back, set it to standard and still Nada on appearing

[stone marsh]

Don't bake it into occlusion culling it's too small and too far away for an accurate cull.

Also check your far clip, I know you shared and image but you didn't specify if the planet was a child of anything. Your car clip needs to be further than the object. You can check this in the editor using the camera render view, not your scene view as the scene view doesn't use your cameras far and near clip.

Ensure your main camera is set as your reference camera, if it's not your custom far clip settings will be ignored.

[whole sleet]

i cant seem to find a flashlight prefab from there though

[stone marsh]

Literally just add a spot light to a flight light fbx off of sketchfab and add the vrc pickup and vrc object sync.

[sleek gull]

Where would I double check occlusion culling so I can be sure? The Cam preview seems fine, I also added post process to this test upload but that didn't seem to work.

[stone marsh]

Are you even using occlusion culling? If not ignore that

[sleek gull]

I haven't gone out of my way to, so I assume not

[stone marsh]

Then no you're not lol

[sleek gull]

Yeah seems empty.

[stone marsh]

Have you set your camera as the reference camera on the world descriptor?

[sleek gull]

Yeah it's set as

only cam in the scene

[stone marsh]

Is the planet using a skinned mesh renderer?

[sleek gull]

Yeah it is

[stone marsh]

That's a mesh renderer not a smr

[sleek gull]

Shieeeee

[stone marsh]

You're fine. If it was a skinned mesh renderer it could have been a bounds issue

[sleek gull]

Skim reading strikes again

Long ways away from making sketch shaders

[stone marsh]

It doesn't show at all or does it show if you look around and move your head

[sleek gull]

From what I've tested not at all, the flare shows fine as does the mini planet that orbits it, which is just a sphere with a fancy texture

[stone marsh]

What's the render queue of your skybox and of the planet?

[sleek gull]

May have found the problem, some leftover script fuckery lemme try and see if that fixes it

[small rock]

Hey yall i need help; i need to make a voice amplifier for a stage and i have no clue how to do it can i have any help?

can you give me a really quick rundown on how to use this?

[stone marsh]

https://github.com/Guribo/UdonVoiceUtils/wiki

Ensure you have the require dependencies such as UdonSharp as stated

Drag and drop prefab into scene.

Done.

[sleek gull]

I did fix that bit, but now this flare's clipping through everything 🚯

Post process still doesn't seem to be doing much of anything

[rain radish]

hello guys is there a place that i can get free assets from ? i really want to make a good world but i dont know where i can get free assets from

[uneven bane]

guys i need help pls

is it possible to get back a scene

i downloaded a pack and it removed my whole world

[near escarp]

find the scene file, double click it

[uneven bane]

is it a microsoft visual studio solution file?

[near escarp]

No, it's a unity .unity file I'm pretty sure

[uneven bane]

the file is empty

unlucky, i will at least let know to other people to not get it

thats what i got, didnt check reviews but didnt expect this tbh

[bold ibex]

Found the reason why but idk what to do now

[near escarp]

What do you mean ?

[kind leaf]

lol bruh no. When you work in the samplescene you are begging for a bad day. If you build in the sample scene and then download an asset with a sample scene you replaced your sample scene. If you left that negative review, do the right thing and edit it. thats cold.

[kind leaf]

Ctrl+9 while in Unity or (Window > Asset Store ) then search and filter by free. CGTrader is a good spot as well and there are a few models on vrcprefabs.com

[rain radish]

ty ❤️

[kind leaf]

Thats not the reason, thats just another effect. What is making that script not compile is the same thing thats keeping your sdk blank. Check your console for errors.

[leaden hare]

Does anyone have a script that disables lights at a defined distance or know why my main camera clipping plane doesn't stop rendering lights when out of the far distance?

[kind leaf]

well to start, the main camera is useless if it is not referenced in the Scene Descriptor. But also make sure your lights are set to static and you are using occlusion culling.

[leaden hare]

Its for sure the right camera since objects are being removed, just seems the lights aren't. I'll check the occlusion culling though thank you

Silly me. I had a camera in the room that was being rendered to an object where the main room was which seemed to be doing it.
30 frames up to 120 lmao

[round arrow]

Hia I need some help anyone know how to do x-ray shaders for the quest for like game markers

[minor stirrup]

make sure it's not behind some collider

like i expand my wall colliders a bit so you cannot see through walls, but then i must watch out to place UI in front of tthat expanded collider, otherwise i raycast against the collider, not the ui

or are you talking about a custom canvas UI?

then you need to add the VRC UI Shape component to the canvas itself

Is there any way to get a client identifier rather than the name(which will be the same for all clients you start)?

is this a player from the SDK?

where you got that video/music player from

which one exactly(the not working one)?

so i can test if it works for me ^^

for me, that has just a screen canvas and a url input

okay, and you made that new canvas with a slider?

i just resized the canvas with the input field in it, added a slider and it works

click the meshes behind and check their collider. Or try moving the whole thing more into the front

[minor stirrup]

and you tried? ^^

[bold ibex]

Hey, i'm trying to upload my first map but when i hit the upload button nothing happens. Any ideas of how to fix this?

[minor stirrup]

thats prob. because of the fields anchor preset

you may have a stretch preset

the anchor of the rect transform

eg if you select stretch horizontally, it will stretch when the root canvas stretches horizontally

i think the prefab canvas is kinda locked

you can try to unpack the prefab

by rightclicking on the root object in the hierachy

oh

[kind leaf]

how exactly are you trying to make the slider work with the tv?

I recommend vowgan.
first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQdjyHFxwK4
Second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fqFmqBDSNU

If you follow along do it from a new scene and from start to finish so you dont mix up the information with another tutorial.

[minor stirrup]

[kind leaf]

musta missed something then, the methods work.

[minor stirrup]

I did not checked myself now, is it using udon graphs or u#?

[kind leaf]

udon hasnt changed in a way thats going to stop your slider from working

our udon updates are behind the scene or directly influence advanced udon scripting

If your getting confused with one graph thats a good idea. Also ensures that if one element breaks the whole thing doesnt.

you could also use a video player that just works. Unless you want to spend months working on correcting buffer rates 🙂
Merlin, Wolfe, ProTV ProTV being the most robust.

[minor stirrup]

I like Wolfe's Player

[kind leaf]

same but its buffer is wrong for quest so for compatibility i had to switch

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

https://vrchat.nishawolfe.com/prefabs/videoplayer

protv? hell yeah, all avpro players do

you just need to take a few extra steps

vrc gives us a version of avpro, you have an avpro prefab in your sdk now

do not buy avpro lol it wont work

https://github.com/MerlinVR/USharpVideo

Anon will have a discord link on the booth site for more information. Quest setups are easy tho

just install UdonSharp first

then you can drag n drop a video player into your world and it will work. if you start tweaking with it its easy to break if you arnt paying attention. So read the provided material, maybe start with the Slim prefab

The slim prefab in the provided package has the least features

The top tier one has support for every resolution lol and then some

like poiyomi, protv is funded (at least partially) so updates are common, and new features are getting added and support is great. Extra content for supporters. But the free version is 100% functional. Nothing important is paywalled.

[minor stirrup]

I'm just testing around with the Stage Lighting Plugin and noticed it's example scenes have name, version & other metadata shown in the Builder Menu. Where would i change that infos for my own scenes? (It's not the scene-name)

[stone marsh]

You need to delete the blueprint ID which should be on the VRCWorld game object, or whatever gameobiect has your scene descriptor on it.

[minor stirrup]

oh so that info is only available when i published it once and got attached the resulting blueprint id?

makes sense, thanks ^^

Whats the best way beside having a quest or somebody with a quest, to test how your map looks like on quest? Like is there some emulator i could use for that or something?

quest support still bugs my brain

I guess you need to supply seperate builds for both. That means for the PCVR version, i coul use normal maps etc. and for quest i just use albedo and a different build?

So you could theoretically make a total different world for both platforms, or making a extra room or so for PC users only? I am confused 😄

[kind leaf]

There is a way to force unity to render as it would on Quest but I never recall how.

As for your other questions, yes the PCVR and Quest versions can look completely different but their hierarchy must be 1:1

No need to remove texture maps from a Quest build, Quest just wont use the normal map and anything else not supported.

[steel topaz]

aaa hello, i've got a question about post processing layering. i cant figure out how to make it work with the camera. my map looks fine in unity but when i try to snap a picture with the camera in vrchat it looks funky af

[minor stirrup]

So theoretically just for the sake of supporting quest, you could just build for android and optimize later on to make it actually look good on quest as well?

[kind leaf]

yes

[minor stirrup]

Many thanks ❤️

[minor stirrup]

Where would it complain when the hierarchy is not 1:1? On World upload?

[kind leaf]

it wont, youll just have sync issues

[minor stirrup]

ohh

you could make some game, Quest vs PCVR ^^

[kind leaf]

if you want to avoid accidental hierarchy changes keep everything in the same project and use https://github.com/JordoVR/EasyQuestSwitch to switch shader and toggle game objects not supported when you press the build target button

[minor stirrup]

is 50MB still the limit for a Quest compatible world? (heard about that in some video)

[kind leaf]

100MB

[minor stirrup]

oh yeh saw some tools for multi platform development. Just wanted to make sure to kinda understand how it works in the background before touching them

[kind leaf]

Its an easy setup and easy to test, and documentation is provided

[minor stirrup]

i'll check it out, many thanks again

[hollow cosmos]

Heya, At some point these errors started happening and now I can't play the scene/compile a build. Really unsure what's going on

[bold ibex]

no clue at all if this is even right place to ask for this but where do i get 3D models for making worlds because frankly i cant make them myself i have zero skill working in 3D modelling software and it kinda sounds time consuming so ehh i want alternative route...

[hollow cosmos]

unity asset store, but there's tons of sites with free use models depending on what you want.

[stone marsh]

Sketchfab is a great resource for free models.

Probuilder is also built into unity and is much easier to learn for a novice than blender. Can make pretty decent world layouts with it.

Blender is better of course, but probuilder is pretty straight forward and quick to pickup with less archaic systems to learn.

[kind leaf]

Probably imported something with Standard Assets attached. Check the top of your error list for a script not related to VRC.

[hollow cosmos]

first error when I restart the unity project

[kind leaf]

When you crash your sdk and have a wall of errors, cropping your screenshots and asking for assistance is like trying to navigate while only looking through a telescope. show the goodies, dont hand pick errors, we need to see the errors from the top down, the source is usually in the top 10. And seeing the whole window lets us know the software is valid.

[hollow cosmos]

First time making a world, so no idea what most of this stuff means. I can't get the SDK window to show up anymore either.

[kind leaf]

it wont until your compile issue is solved, only errors please

[hollow cosmos]

Ive got over 700 now, I think this project is just borked completely. tried reinstalling the sdk just broke all the udonsharp things

[runic pike]

Can someone send me the pool table package for quest n pc?

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/VRCBilliards/vrcbce

[runic pike]

thx

[stone marsh]

Literally the first thing when you type "vrchat pool table" into Google. Common

[green lagoon]

yeah I did just grab the first Google result of vrchat pool table

[strange sigil]

anyone use the vrchat client simulator?

im trying to import it into a project but out of the box i get an error in one of the scripts

doesnt recognize the namespace 'ONSPAudioSource'

[stone marsh]

You're using SDK3 for worlds correct?

[strange sigil]

yeah

[strange sigil]

version 2021.11.24.16.19

[indigo stump]

So I am using Pro Builder, and I was wondering if it's possible to apply textures and be a separate... instance? on each face. For example, right now, the white wall is what I want it to be. I applied the same texture to the wall on the left, but it did this, yet it has the same dimensions as the wall on the right. But if I change the dimensions on the left wall, it also changes everything on the right. Is there a way to avoid this without inserting several of the same material?

[nocturne jungle]

Anyone know how i could fix the shader going through the walls for my text?

[bold ibex]

is there a way to make a mirror only reflect the scene and exclude players?

im tryna make an infinite-looking plane and thats one way i came up with

other suggestions appreciated

[nocturne jungle]

@bold ibex Just go to the "Reflect layer option of the mirror and disable players

[bold ibex]

oh zamn

what a convenient thing

ty mate

[nocturne jungle]

yeah seriously lol np

[nocturne jungle]

Anyone know how i could fix the shader going through the walls for my text?

[stone marsh]

Is this in the editor or in the game as well? Because in editor this can happen, but you just need to enter play mode and exit it and it should be okay.

[nocturne jungle]

Oh shoot it is only in unity loll ty haha

[stone marsh]

If that doesn't work, ya may want to do a restart of unity. You can also change what tools are shown in the top right corner of the scene tab there is a drop down that allows you to change the size and what renders for things. Lmk if it doesn't work. Cheers

[silk prawn]

idk this might be stupid but why isn't it showing a box for my reflection probe? I've tried looking it up and pressing some buttons but have yet to see a box

Man I can't see the circles for the light probes either

[nocturne jungle]

could you send me the link of that by chance?

[indigo stump]

The link? (Also, I figured it out)

[bold wren]

Are there any guides on how to do a camera fade-in from black during world entry? I assume it's done with post-processing, but I'm not sure where to start

[kind leaf]

PCVR method would be Post Processing. Create an animation of a fade over time changing the Post exposure from-1 to 0 and just play on awake. Will play each time for every person that joins.

Or use a canvas on screen space with a black image that fades out and then disable it. This method will work for PCVR and Quest.

[bold wren]

My initial idea was to animate vignette, but I'm not exactly sure how to add its properties to an animation...

[kind leaf]

did you try just using record mode?

[bold wren]

None of these affect it

[kind leaf]

enable record, set the post settings to their darkest, move the timeline and then set the, to where you want them to end.

[bold wren]

Animation should be applied to the Post Processing volume in the scene, right?

[kind leaf]

yeah

[bold wren]

Recording doesn't affect any of the overrides, as if they are not public

[kind leaf]

nvm, the animator only recognizes the component and not the values.

[bold wren]

I found a semi-related tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlGKfcR6Yh4

[kind leaf]

yeah you can script it

[bold wren]

He basically creates a custom event corresponding to a PP property

And that makes sense, except for where would I look up the names for those variables as they are defined in Unity

Would it be just "_SetVignette"?

[kind leaf]

for the onvalue changed part of the slider, you would use the custom event name there.

[bold wren]

Right, but what should the name be? I couldn't find any documentation exposing it

[kind leaf]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.postprocessing@3.0/manual/Manipulating-the-Stack.html

good luck finding a graph example, i think the ones on vrcprefabs are also written in U#

[bold wren]

A good opportunity to learn U# then

Thanks

I'm having issues getting unity set up to make a world

I can't get the VRChat SDK tab to show up. And when I do there's no options other than Udon Graph and re compile

[kind leaf]

probably the most realistic lavalamp shader Ive seen. Will you be releasing a standalone shader as well?

[misty wave]

Thank you so much!!!! ❤️ It's based on one from a seemingly inactive twitter user, but I have significantly improved its customisability and modeled these lava lamp assets n such. Absolutely plan to release the standalone shader, as well as the drag-and-droppable prefabs! Let me know if you have any suggestions~

[kind leaf]

Wonderful! Yeah lava lamp enthusiasts often request lava lamp surfaces, so a prefab showing it working within a wall for example would be neat. Like a whole lava lamp ceiling lol

[bold wren]

You were right, if you have a PP volume dedicated to vignetting exclusively – animating the weight is enough. I was overthinking it so much lol

[kind leaf]

sweet

[kind leaf]

Assuming you are using the latest SDK with Unity 2019.4.31f1 I suggest reading through the trouble shooting guide https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/sdk-troubleshooting When the SDK is blank its 98% of the time because the user overlooked something, missing a step or importing an unsupported asset. You should never import unrelated scripts into your project. If they are from a VRChat asset it's fine. Any .cs coming from the asset store has no purpose and should just not be included in your imports unless you know what you are doing.

When you make a project and are new/newish always import the essentials(SDK,toolkit,U#) first and make sure everything is working. Then as you build and import new things if a problem arises the cause will be know to you.

[smoky sky]

How do you make a full screen of MMD World?

[bold wren]

It's working properly in CyanEmu, but no vignetting effects whatsoever in-game. I wonder what the reason could be for this discrepancy.

[minor stirrup]

how do i delete a uploaded world? Cannot find the option on vrchat.com on the world

oh i see, the Content Manager in the SDK Menu offers a "Delete"

guess thats the only way then? ^^

[versed plover]

Yup in the content manager is the only way

[kind leaf]

Only normal way. VRCX has the ability to delete

[minor stirrup]

whats VRCX? ._.

oh i see

[misty kayak]

Hello, anyone knows how can i solve this null reference error? or at least the way to know where this file is located?

[minor stirrup]

Can't get Wolfe Video Player working on the quest build. The Wiki says this: "Just ensure you are using a Quest Compatable Material for the screen (The included Example_Screen_Quest will work on Quest)." But i cannot find the mentioned asset. Any idea how i can make it work on quest?

[kind leaf]

the included material blocks video lol if you want to render video just use the standard shader for quest. Unlit shaders work as well, but for a quick setup standard is fine.

[minor stirrup]

hmm, i think i'll try out protv, comes with a audiolink "connector" plugin

Best Tutorial Ive ever found for world toggles and sliders

[wild knoll]

anyone know how to fix this?

[nocturne jungle]

Why when i change my font on my text it becomes super blurry and i can only make the font size but so big

[glossy relic]

Does anyone have any good resources for making music synced particle animation worlds? (IE The Edge) Or even just a recommendation on what to search to find something on it

[mild spade]

You will have to mess around with the Scale and the text size. Make one larger, while the other smaller. Or you could use Text Mesh Pro UI instead, it is very easy to use and you dont run into that blurry problem. (simply delete the Text component, and add a Text Mesh Pro - Text (UI))

[nocturne jungle]

So i imported TMP, how could i use a custom font on it?

[sinful wind]

hey all, first time making a world and following a youtube tutorial on grass, it worked the first time but since then I just have the brush locked

only trying to currently fill these two spots, so im unsure as to why such a large plane spawns in

any assistance and tips would be appreciated thank you!

[kind leaf]

you dont have the luxury of free forming terrain. its will always be square, and you can change the size in the terrain settings. You can find other assets for painting billboarding grass of other surfaces. Check the asset store

[sturdy jungle]

when i export my world as fbx to unity works fine but some parts of meshes are missing

[left rain]

could be invalid meshes caused by weird boolean operations, nonmanifold geometry, that sort of thing

sometimes it can help to triangulate before exporting to fbx

[gaunt egret]

might be normals are the wrong way too lol

[sturdy jungle]

no i already double check

[sturdy jungle]

how exactly i can tringle them?

[left rain]

i don't know what application you're using, and if you're using blender i don't know blender. any 3D application will have a function to triangulate polygon geometry.

[bold wren]

Select the mesh in edit mode -> Ctrl-T

[sturdy jungle]

yes i do have blender

[versed plover]

Is there an easy way to make a frosted/blurred glass material?

[left rain]

it's not that straightforward. usually it involves taking a grabpass and then sampling it multiple times at different locations around the current pixel, then averaging the result (or using a blurring kernel)

you can do it with command buffers instead of using a grabpass if you know what you're doing https://github.com/andydbc/unity-frosted-glass

grabpass shaders do not function at all on quest so be warned

[nocturne jungle]

how exactly do i fix this error

the highlighted one

^this was on the android build

[stone marsh]

You need to share a screen of your ENTIRE console. Don't exclude errors or pick what you think the issue is. These errors are typically symptoms of an issue and not the issue itself.

[misty wave]

Eheh thank you for the good vibes ❤️

[worthy horizon]

hm i wonder if one could script the arm of an npc to point at a player..

[bold wren]

I'm pretty sure this is doable with Udon

[nocturne jungle]

They were the only errors minus CyanEmu "errors"

[stone marsh]

Press clear, attempt to enter play mode. When it fails, post screen of entire console.

[worthy horizon]

found script "lookat target" hmm

[stone marsh]

This would be very easy and you wouldn't need anything more than a bone follower and a constraint. A bone follower example is included with the sdk

Just constrain the arm to a follower and parent the follower to the player of voice.

[nocturne jungle]

Well I had only gotten the error on the Android build and not on the Windows build. But once I go back to Android if I have any issues ill for sure post em here

[worthy horizon]

hm lets give it a try

[proven vigil]

it's legit not letting me upload

i'm spaming the upload button it's just doing nothing

[dawn fossil]

Question,do I need a package to add an npc to my world? And how I add one of an avatar I made?

[kind leaf]

naw, its just a doll playing an animation, unless you get interesting with it and add some AI, neither of which require you to import anything. The least you need is your idle animation which is probably inside your fbx already.

make sure you dont touch the avatar sdk tho. Import that over your world sdk and you will have problems

[kind leaf]

has spamming a ui button ever worked for you? Try checking the console for errors and verifying that you are using the proper version of unity and the sdk.

[dawn fossil]

So just adding in the avatar and setting an animation?

[kind leaf]

a blank avatar yes, no dynamic bones, no vrc scripts from the avatar project, a clean avatar rigged

[proven vigil]

you know there has been an error time to time so let me find that hold on

[dawn fossil]

Ok thank you sm!

[proven vigil]

@kind leaf so what does this mean?

[kind leaf]

exactly what the error says. But I suspect thats not the only error. How many errors do you have? You can toggle debug (white) and warnings (yellow) off.

[proven vigil]

here's all the errors i have

[kind leaf]

unity 2019.4.31f1 with the latest sdk 2022.02.16.19.13?

[proven vigil]

so do i have to remake everything in unity 2022.02.16.19.13?

[kind leaf]

no 2022.02.16.19.13is the sdk version

[proven vigil]

so i'll just remove the current sdk (2019.4.31f1) and add 2022.02.16.19.13?

[kind leaf]

no, stop lol you arnt listening

nvm maybe someone else can help. The Unity version and the VRC SDK are two different things

[proven vigil]

i'll just deal with this tommorow

[nocturne mason]

Hi guys,I'm making vrchat map on unity,but i don't know how to fix a problem: how can I cover up this hole under roof?
i can't shape the cube/ triangle

[uneven bane]

i have probably very stupid question, how do i update a private world, i mean, i did a world and i have it private on vrchat but i m adding stuff and would like to test with other people, do i just click again on "build and publish" thing and it updates automatically?

[quiet oak]

If probuilder try inserting an edge loop down through the middle of each cube. Grab the newly created middle top vertices and drag them upwards

[bold wren]

Correct

[novel lance]

Having this issue when updating world from SDK2 to SDK3

[bold ibex]

is there a way to fix the mirror's reflection to have the same lighting as the world? (sry for how dark image the image is)

there's a line in the middle of the screen where the mirror touches the ground

[minor stirrup]

Does somebody know how i can preview Quest builds from PC to find out if everything would look as desired on quest, without owning one?

[worthy horizon]

its probably compiled assemblies stuck in the cache or something. I had to scrub a project by starting a new project and pulling the whole asset tree and scene into it.

[novel lance]

Guess I'll need to do that

So create new project, drag over assets, drag over scene file, load scene?

[worthy horizon]

of course you'll have to purge missing scripts and re-script everything

i think cyanlaser might have actually made a tool to convert SDK2 scripts to SDK3 + cyantriggers

[idle jolt]

What are the best settings for .wav files? To keep their size down and still sound good?

[worthy horizon]

id say step 1. dont use wav, use ogg

[upper obsidian]

It doesn't matter what you use, when you import it will be converted to ogg

[upper obsidian]

Delete the mention of sdk2 in this line, or delete everything altogether.

[kind leaf]

I use audacity and mix them all down to mono. This is what you will want for any audio that isnt meant to be played out of speakers. rain? mono. background music? mono. you'll reduce by 50%

[upper obsidian]

All this is done in the inspector, both setting mono and compression level.

[kind leaf]

k, well you do you 🙂 I like control

[left rain]

the advantage of doing it in the inspector, if the setting exists there, is that you can quickly adjust your compression or mix from within unity without having to rewrite source files. it's similar to how it's usually better to import texture maps at the maximum resolution you'd consider using, then use the inspector to dial in compression and resolution for the build, so you're starting with the highest possible quality.

obviously anything more advanced than that you'd want to handle in a dedicated app, but it's good practice to import things as uncompressed and high quality as you can, then dial in those settings in-engine so you're always working from the best possible source material

[kind leaf]

yeah, non destructive editing. I get better quality and smaller file sizes using audacity so I use it.

[upper obsidian]

If you are not doing frequency and other sound correction, but only mixing to mono, this is a waste of time. In this case, if you need to make a stereo - you have to look for the source file. Which again is a waste of time. The size of the project, if you're doing it through audiocity, doesn't really matter.

[stark talon]

I'm setting up reverb zones for my map but they don't seem to be working
the audio sounds the same in the reverb zones

[nocturne jungle]

Erm, i guess maybe build and test or use CyanEmu when your in the quest build?

Or to be honest upload the world and get some people on quest to test it and point out things you think might be missing and they could tell you, thats what i do tbh lol

[gaunt egret]

cyanemu only builds the desktop version iirc

[white moon]

Yup

[gaunt egret]

you need to have the quest to be able to test it, and even then you cant "build and test" it on oculus because i dont think the oculus has that

errr someone else explained why a lot better than me

[white moon]

id assume because there is no mechanic to get the build and test version onto the occulus to test it without just uploading it?

[gaunt egret]

but i can do quest pc and quest standalone if you need a tester :)

[gaunt egret]

yeah that sounds right

[white moon]

You can always just detach the build id and upload a private version to test, no harm done

[gaunt egret]

^^

well if they dont have a quest in the first place theyll need something but thats what i do

someone*

[white moon]

Yea true. I dont so i just yolo it and upload it and let the questies tell me of any issues XD

[gaunt egret]

i think most of my worlds are quest compatible but its taking me so long to get to the next rank

been making a flower/edible arrangement assets that are just collecting dust 😩

[left rain]

yeah unfortunately you can't sideload a quest build to test it locally at the moment, so uploading a private build is the best way to test

[nocturne jungle]

i need help figuring out what to put in this hallway

[vestal oriole]

How can I stop textmesh pro from being visible through walls?

[nocturne jungle]

It should only be visable in unity

[novel lance]

wow this worked, thank you so much

[gaunt egret]

its only visible in the editor. if you build and test, it wont "bleed" through

[pearl plume]

I’m looking at creating a few smaller worlds just for friend/personal use (since they look doodoo) but I don’t quite understand the advantages of using Blender instead of hopping right to unify for world creation. Anyone have any input?

[vestal oriole]

Trying to follow a tutorial on adding post processing. It say to set the layer in this component to "post processing," but that's not an option...

[wheat bloom]

hello i have a question about after the world is built so i know this is an odd way to do things but ehar me out

im using a rpg plugin to use visual scripting such as trigger enter and exit for a card game im working on and when i test using unity editor with out vr it works but when i run in vrchat in any way it doesnt work like as if its left behind on the build stage or something

i have the stripping detting disabled

[gaunt egret]

blender has a lot more freedoms than unity does imo

i haven't tried probuilder in unity but with blender you also have access to things like UV mapping

[desert agate]

Using UdonSharp for the first time and it is so refreshing to code again

[pearl plume]

I’m just getting constant problems with importing it to unity and collisions not properly working (because I’m kinda new) but I get what you’re saying

[desert agate]

cries in corporate programmer

[desert agate]

You can actually just import the .blend file directly into unity

You'll always have to set up collision separately though

which is not nearly as difficult as it sounds

[gaunt egret]

i would make sure you have the right version of unity and the latest world sdk, but collision can be manually made in unity

[novel lance]

There isn't even a Blueprint ID attatched to the descriptor

[gaunt egret]

#avatar-help

[novel lance]

This is happening to my world, not an avi

[stone marsh]

If you're positive you don't have an extra pipeline manager somewhere. Logout, restart unity. And log back in, ensuring you log into the correct account.

[pearl plume]

cant find anything online about it, all the vids people just skip over it (that I've watched) are there any particular sites or docs I could read to find out how?

[novel lance]

Is there a way to check to see if there is an extra one somewhere

I wouldn't expect there to be a 2nd since I updated the world from SDK2 to SDK3

[stone marsh]

The search tool. If you're unsure, just do the steps I mentioned in the order I mentioned

[wheat bloom]

when i test or build with vr chat my triggers dont work but when i use unity editor it works and ive used plygame before for a pc game and android build so it should work but why does it not ?

[stone marsh]

Explain what collision you're taking about. You need to add colliders to a mesh for it to... Well collide.

[nocturne jungle]

Just put it on water to be honest

[novel lance]

the only object with a script on it is the spawnpoint thing which has only 1 pipeline manager so lemme try the thing mentioned

[pearl plume]

I just fall through my world whenever I spawn in

[nocturne jungle]

do you have colliders

[pearl plume]

it's there, but I just fall thorugh

[stone marsh]

You need to add a mesh collider or box collider to your mesh

[novel lance]

If this doesn't work I'm submitting a support ticket and going to bed as I'm exsausted already before having to deal with this

[pearl plume]

please explain

[stone marsh]

Then it's erroneously set.

Send screenshot of your project with the mesh selected so I can see the inspector

[nocturne jungle]

@pearl plume Click on your floor and send a screenshot

of your whole unity program

[pearl plume]

one sec i will

[novel lance]

Lemme try build n upload again first with this ^ (It'll take about 10 mins)

[nocturne jungle]

you dont have a mehs

[pearl plume]

oop accidentally had whole thing selected

[nocturne jungle]

Mesh

[stone marsh]

You have the wrong thing selected

Select your floor

So we can see the inspector for it

Can see jack if you don't select the floor mesh

[pearl plume]

that is just the floor

[stone marsh]

You need to add abox collider

[nocturne jungle]

Go to add component, and add a box colider

[pearl plume]

mhm

[pearl plume]

Do I need to do that for every thing that's gonna collide with the player?

floor, wall, ceiling, etc

[nocturne jungle]

Yes

[pearl plume]

so why can't i

highlight everything

and make one box collider

[nocturne jungle]

You should be able to?

[pearl plume]

oh?

alr

[desert agate]

Box colliders are just single boxes

[stone marsh]

One box collider would be very bad

[desert agate]

like

the floor would be a box

[wheat bloom]

is it posible to included a rpg plugin like plygame within the vrchat world ? to use visual scripting and other features that it comes with like trigger enter and exit. as when i test using vrchat it doesnt work but using just the unity editor it works and ive used this before

[desert agate]

each wall would get a box

[pearl plume]

ah, ok

[stone marsh]

Your walls should use mesh colliders looking at them

[desert agate]

yeah

[stone marsh]

A box draws a solid box around the whole mesh. Which doesn't look ideal for your walls

[desert agate]

Add a mesh collider, and set the mesh to -> whatever the object you're adding the collider to is

[nocturne jungle]

Floor = Box Collider
Walls Stairs or anything else a player shouldnt be able to walk through = Mesh Collider

[stone marsh]

As long as they're low poly

Mesh collider on high poly meshes is very bad

[nocturne jungle]

^

[pearl plume]

(separate topic) but how exactly am I supposed to pick an area for spawn?

[stone marsh]

Ah, I actually opened the image more. Your world is literally just cubes.

Box collider on each cube would be fine

From the thumbnail it looked like a more complex mesh

[nocturne jungle]

Search VRCWorld in your project tab and then drag it into your world

[pearl plume]

for every little detail would I need one?

[pearl plume]

mk

[nocturne jungle]

Where ever you put it is where youll spawn

[stone marsh]

No, for each item named "cube"

[pearl plume]

o

[stone marsh]

Prob the planes too. But idk what you're using all those planes for

[novel lance]

wow... this worked...

[pearl plume]

does it matter where it goes?

[nocturne jungle]

Its your spawn location, so id hope so lol

But yes it does

[pearl plume]

oH

I'm stupid lmao

Download and import this aswell, it will save you time being that you can play the scene in unity as if youre playing ingame without having to build and test everytime you want to test something

[pearl plume]

I have a solid 2 hours of youtube experience, so I'm classified as a n o o b

[nocturne jungle]

Tbh im still learning and dont know much myself lol, i know youre pain right now haha

[pearl plume]

so it helps with testing basically?

[pearl plume]

lol

[nocturne jungle]

Yes, because when you play the scene in unity it lets you move around and interact with any pickups, teleports, chairs and whatever else you have within unity

[pearl plume]

is it a "unity test" or is it a replica of how it will be in vrc?

[gaunt egret]

vrc

Erroneous spawn placement or no spawn point set in vrc world descriptor

[gaunt egret]

xd it looks better, i was only teasing a little bit

vrcworld can act as the spawn

[nocturne jungle]

I honestly never realized how bright it was lmao

[stone marsh]

If it's set as self in the spawn list. If it's empty, you'll get booted

[pearl plume]

well theres my answer

what do I need to put as the spawn?

[gaunt egret]

i thought it defaulted to itself, weird

[nocturne jungle]

Make sure your scene descriptor on your VRCWorld has a spawn

[stone marsh]

If you use the provided prefab it is. But people mess it up

[nocturne jungle]

Honestly the prefab for some reason doesnt work every time

and i have no clue why it doesnt

[pearl plume]

let me try rq

[stone marsh]

You should always unpack prefabs containing udon logic

Well, you should always unpack prefabs in general.

[pearl plume]

can the VRCWorld just be floating a bit above the floor?

[stone marsh]

Yes

It should be slightly over the floor

[pearl plume]

alr

[gaunt egret]

if its not, you'll just fall through xp

[pearl plume]

time for test number 17!

[pearl plume]

still no worl T-T

work

I think it has to be on a separate block

[nocturne jungle]

I always keep it as its own separate thing

[stone marsh]

Lol yes. It should be on its own game object....

[pearl plume]

I cant even load in when it's attached to the VRCworld

[stone marsh]

You should have just used the prefab Included with the sdk

Any empty game object can be set as the spawn point tho

I personally use an array of empty game objects as the spawns and have them set to sequentially spawn to them

Many ways to do it. But that may not be the issue. A few things can cause you to get booted on load

[pearl plume]

ayeee

I just set it as a cube

[nocturne jungle]

Yessirrr

[pearl plume]

so I FINALLY finished Step 1 :D

[novel lance]

Is there a way to mass-replace materials on multiple objects to a diffrent one

[pearl plume]

this actually turned out better than I thought. I just want to make an eerie world with a secret or two

[stone marsh]

Select them all and drag and drop

[novel lance]

oh wait there is im just dumb

yea sorry I'm just super tired

[stone marsh]

I'm merc. Nice to meet you just super tired.

[pearl plume]

so, technically speaking, if I wanted to intentionally make a world with no shadows or anything besides just plain colors, I could make the world in unity, couldn't I?

[stone marsh]

Course

[pearl plume]

o wait nvm I forgot about the sky background lol

[stone marsh]

Just remove the lighting and set your world light to ambient

[pearl plume]

oh

I just want the entire sky, background, and color to be pitch black

[stone marsh]

On the lighting tab, set your lighting to ambient and set the color to light a soft gray. Then remove all light sources and directional lights in the scene

[pearl plume]

will objects still be visible?

[stone marsh]

You can just create a skybox material and add a black PNG as the texture for the skybox in the lighting tab

[stone marsh]

If you set the color mode to ambient and set the color appropriately yes

[pearl plume]

alr sounds good

imma work on it more tmr as well

1 more big question before I go:

are there any special requirements for importing to quest?

[stone marsh]

Lots

[pearl plume]

im tryin to make a void with a few cubes

I can't imagine that being "too much"

[stone marsh]

100mb limit. Best to use quest mobile shaders but not required. No grab pass, no raymarching. No cameras. Limited draw distance.

Yea, that sounds fine lol

[pearl plume]

I heard I need to download an android conversion or something?

or is that already implemented in unity?

[stone marsh]

You need to download the android build for unity. In the file tab, there is a switch build button, in there you choose android

[nocturne jungle]

This button in the SDK builder panel

[stone marsh]

Won't work if it's not downloaded tho

[pearl plume]

where can I find the link for that?

to download*

[nocturne jungle]

Ive never had to download it?

[stone marsh]

I said already

[stone marsh]

It tends to be selected by default but not always. When you install unity for the first time. You most likely always had it selected but not everyone does

Many people don't check the android box when installing it

[nocturne jungle]

Ohhh didnt even know that lol

[stone marsh]

But you just donwload it in the switch build tab there's a download button

[nocturne jungle]

Been so long since ive installed it haha

[pearl plume]

it says "switching to android disabled"

error message
