[coral patrol]

For what i understood i put "R" or metal

Cause as i learned if i hover my mouse over metalic it says "r"

Could work?

[left rain]

metalness and roughness mean very, very different things.

[coral patrol]

Oh..

[stone marsh]

Would it work, yes, certainly. Ultimately they are just maps. It doesn't really matter what you put there, or if you want to put anything at all even. What toad said is correct however. But just play with it and do whatever visually looks good.

[left rain]

metalness should appear as either 1 (white) or 0 (black) in the texture map. sometimes you'll see it in between, but that's generally incorrect. it tells you if a particular part of the texture is metallic or not. metallic surfaces reflect light evenly from all directions, like a mirror or brushed aluminum. non-metals reflect more brightly at glancing angles (facing away from you) than at angles facing directly towards you. most surfaces behave like this.

[stone marsh]

Rain already gave you a example of this......

#world-development message

[left rain]

roughness determines how blurry the reflections will appear. a roughness of 0 means a mirror reflection.

roughness can be any grayscale value. chances are, you got a roughness texture, not a metallic one, unless your material is meant to be partially metallic.

the standard shader can read the roughness/ smoothness (whatever) value in as the alpha channel of the albedo map or as the alpha of the metallic map. this is to save on texture reads. you might need to use a photo editing program to combine these channels together if you need to use all these channels. otherwise just leave metallic at 0

[stone marsh]

You're just working with a tile floor texture tho. Really, just fuck with it. Don't be afraid to play around. Things don't have to be exact. It's up to your eye to make what you think looks good. You can use that exact map in different slots and adjust sliders and just fuck with it to see how it reacts and learn what it all does. Don't think it's some perfect 1:1 science that needs to be perfectly followed like law

[left rain]

it's not, but it's good to know the rules of PBR before you break them

[stone marsh]

Gotta get dirty to learn. Besides. He was literally already given multiple links explaining PBR in great detail along with image examples

[left rain]

ok

[stone marsh]

#world-development message

I was just elaborating a bit on my own feelings as it seemed like they were stuck trying to do things like an exact science like this HAS to be done like that. I feel it's good to know these things and what you said is all accurate, but they shouldn't be afraid to just fuck around. It's just a tile floor. None the less. You're not wrong at all.

[left rain]

the reason i try to stress learning the rules first is because of the number of times i've seen people make fucking carpet materials with a metallic value of 0.4 or something. one of the reasons the rules are as important as they are is because even if your material might look nice with fucked up settings in one environment, they will likely not look nice in another unless the values you're using are grounded somewhat in those rules

there's always exceptions, but with most things you learn the rules first, and then when you understand them, you learn the reasons when and why to break them. it's like learning the bohr model of the atom before you start dealing with quantum hell

[stone marsh]

I mean, that's more down to people having bad eye for what looks good rather that not understanding something. If you make carpet shiny, you fucked up at art. Not at understanding "rules" of pbr. Lol

[left rain]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i'm a professional artist and i still have to correct texture guys that set metallic to 0.3 or something and wonder why their materials look weird under bright lighting

or set their albedo to 0.01 and complain that there's no bounce lighting

[coral patrol]

i dont remember, how can i make textures not stretching, what i should google?

[left rain]

UVs

you need UV coordinates on your meshes. they're like fabric dress patterns. they determine how a texture is mapped in 2D space onto the 3D object

typically this is done in a 3D app like blender. if you're using probuilder i'm sure there's tools for adjusting UVs, i just don't know them. you can also adjust the tiling and offset in the shader, if it's just a simple transform.

[coral patrol]

Yea exactly, in the A point i dont want that its so stretched ( i make the room with probuilder)

[left rain]

ah sorry, can't help you with probuilder. i'm sure someone else here will know

[coral patrol]

I will try tiling and offset, should work right?

[versed plover]

yeah itll work, not efficiently though

[left rain]

tiling is unlikely to help you here, that's not per-face. that's for the whole shader

there's probably some setting in probuilder that will allow you to adjust the UVs for that particular face

[versed plover]

i mean if you duplicate the mat and only apply it there but yeah probuilder should have uv tools

[left rain]

don't duplicate the material, that's super inefficient

[versed plover]

yeah thats why i said not efficient

but yes

[coral patrol]

Since i'm not good at english , what you would google if need this thing?

Like, applying UV's in probuilder?

[coral patrol]

oooh thanks!

[sullen turret]

What decides if a shader is quest compatible or not? Sometimes I've used shaders in my worlds that work on Quest, and some don't at all

I have a 4 texture splatmap shader that I'm using for mesh terrain and I don't know if it'll work on Quest or not

[unique radish]

I'm new to this but I think the only third party shaders that Quest will run with are the Unity standard if you need to use it for aesthetics. I think third party ones will always be pink, I could be wrong though

[sullen turret]

Some third party shaders work. I want to know how they get by without showing up as pink

This one works https://booth.pm/en/items/3259425

[misty wave]

Anyone ever attempted to toggle the location of the audio source of a video player??

[unique radish]

Ohh i see

[upper obsidian]

Why try?, do it if you need it.
You can move the animation, you can switch to other audio sources.

[shy storm]

Does anyone happen to understand how to set up this prefab?
Having trouble connecting Wolfe's video player with it

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

nvm I think I got it

[mellow moon]

Im trying to edit text with udon behavior but for some reason its not recognizing my TextMeshPro assets in the scene as such. It was working at one point but for some reason it stopped working. Any clue to fix it? recreating the whole canvas didnt fix and actually made what was working stop working

[misty wave]

Was unsure about how to actually change the source

But haven't really tried yet

[misty wave]

oh dude that looks so cool

[misty wave]

Just made the text disappear??

[mellow moon]

The text is still there but refuses to attach to my udon script

[misty wave]

Is it even supported yet? https://ask.vrchat.com/t/set-ui-text-string/320 Idk how out of date this is

[mellow moon]

TextMeshPro refuses to attach to the script

[mellow moon]

it was working earlier

i think ill try recompiling the script or remaking the variables till it works

[mellow moon]

..... this is stupid but what i did was when i first made the stuff i truly had a TextMeshPro. Now I have a TextMeshProUGUI which is a completely different part.

so the issue is unity being unity

[analog bloom]

we have completely different issues but Unity keeps being stupid and breaking the world SDK for me

[mellow moon]

picture??

i might know if i see what its doing

[analog bloom]

it removes menu items and then when it does work, it doesn't want to work

[mellow moon]

alright, your issue is an asset you added to your project. If you added a lot of assets then the fastest way to figure out which is doing it is is to make a new project and test each asset with the SDK

[analog bloom]

That's gonna be a pain

[mellow moon]

personally the merline C# asset did it to me

[analog bloom]

I don't have that asset

[mellow moon]

hmmm well its definatly an asset issue cuz i bet if you make a brand new file with the sdk and thats it then it should work

[analog bloom]

the only scripting things I have is KineL, some Udon toggle, and a local clock

[mellow moon]

also making sure ur on unity 2019.4.31f1

[analog bloom]

I reinstalled it

still don't work

[mellow moon]

well to make sure its for sure not unity make a new project with just the SDK

if it works after saving and reopening then your assets are the issue

[analog bloom]

I'll do that when I get home

Almost all of my assets are models

[mellow moon]

well good luck. if theres still an issue ill try my best to help out

[analog bloom]

I have a really good feeling it's KineL which I'm removing anyways, and the clock

[mellow moon]

clocks should be easy to make in udon. unity has default time stuff so its about learning what that is

[austere hull]

how can i disable object kinetics

so it wont be moving ever

unless held

[cobalt prawn]

Check "Is Kinematic" on the rigidbody

[bold ibex]

city

[austere hull]

weird should be kinda reverse

[sage sequoia]

Ummmm help

[stone marsh]

No. It's correct. You want to check IsKinematic. You're misunderstanding what it means/does.

You'll also want to uncheck use gravity.

Setup like that, the object will not be affected by the physics system.

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

[cobalt prawn]

You're probably confusing kinetic with kinematic. Kinetic describes forces that cause an object to move, while kinematic refers to the movement of an object without forces considered. So a kinematic rigidbody can be moved by changing its position but not by applying force (such as gravity or momentum from a throw)

[cobalt prawn]

Select your VRCWorld object, and on the PipelineManager component click Detach, then try again

[stone marsh]

IF you only have one scene descriptor and are POSITIVE you do not have multiple pipelines. Perform the following:

Logout of the sdk
Save your project
Close unity
Open unity
Sign into the sdk
Upload

This is a common bug.

[coral patrol]

Guys with SilVR water shader how can i put reflections? i want that the water reflects the walls etc , i know probes reflections but i dont know where i should put it in the SILVR water

[cobalt prawn]

I would just place it at the center of the surface of the water

[stone marsh]

You don't put the reflection probe in the shader itself. You increase the reflections of the shader, and as long as there is a probe in the scene, it will reflect that. Often you need multiple probes or an array of probes because the reflection will always be from the position and perspective of the probe itself regardless of where the user is and depends on the bounds of the probe.

That said, you should always bake your probes and use as low of a resolution as possible to achieve your desired look. Realtime reflection probes should be avoided like the plague as their performance hit can be intense. There is a reason to use them, but you should understand their uses and limitations before attempting to leverage a realtime probe. (Such as having a single realtime probe parented to the head of a user without time slicing on a toggle so reflections are from the users perspective regardless of position)

For something like water, it may be best to just reflect the skybox so that you'd only need a single probe and it's position wouldn't matter while still providing nice looking water.

[bold ibex]

is it easier to make a small VRC world in blender or unity?

[stone marsh]

Blender is for modeling.

Unity is required to publish your content, deal with shaders, and all the logic for your world.

[bold ibex]

thanks

[dusty basalt]

I got a question me n my friends are making are making a vrchat world so people can send him pictures of there sonic avatar moments and he will upload it to the world can someone who makes worlds help us we are in VC it's just a wall that he will upload pictures like this

[round arrow]

Hi I have a werid bug in my game world where players will disappear there player capsule and mesh goes into the ground a bit and when they move no one can see them they could be behind me but I only see them like in front of me as well as there mic and voice stay at the mesh

[gray sleet]

is there a way to make an object or cylander bendy? like rubber?

[stone marsh]

What you're explaining is very confusing so I'm only able to take shots in the dark.

Are you using occlusion culling?

[round arrow]

Urrrrr since I don't know what that is I'ma say nope

[round arrow]

Yeah I think you are meaning matcaps

[stone marsh]

Lmao no, they don't mean matcaps.

[gray sleet]

matcaps? i got this catbug pooltube thingy. but id also like it to be somewhat rubbery / bendy. how do i do that

[stone marsh]

Hard to tell from that. Looks like you have an erroneous collider or something. Like you're in a collider.

You made that entire world? Sure you'd understand what occlusion culling is, if you're able to make that. Are you sure you're not using it?

But it does look like you're either in a collider or being affected by a collider.

[stone marsh]

Matcaps have nothing to do with that.

You'd need a rigged object with an armature and then use dynamic bones. Or it would need to be raymarched.

You can pretty easily rig some bones to a capsule in blender since it's such a simple shape. The more bones, the smoother the bends.

[round arrow]

Respawn doesn't work

[stone marsh]

Where did you get this world from? I'm assuming you didn't make it.

[round arrow]

No but it's the same thing happening in my world

[stone marsh]

World looks really familiar, but it's not public....

[green lagoon]

yeah that's the vrchat like cowboy PVP shooter map

[stone marsh]

If you didn't make it.... You ripped it

Then why are you asking this question in world development?

Then it's related to your avatars or mods

Then there wouldn't be an issue in the world in your video. It would only affect your world

Either:
You're using mods
You have a collider on your avatar
You have erroneous bounds
Or something, because there was never an issue with steel n gold, and I obviously can't help you with world development questions regarding a world you can't do anything with. Maybe show video or screenshots of the issue with your actual content.

.....

Ok. I guess delete all ur comments.

If those videos were of someone else and you just happened to find them and thought it looked similarly to an issue in your world, then I'm sorry. You certainly didn't clarify that or make that obvious.

If you have video of the issue in your actual content. Feel free to share it. The only thing I could think would be a possible erroneous collider as I mentioned earlier, as that will cause the avatar to move, be placed wrong, enter fall mode, or block your ability to use the menu.

Good luck.

[coral patrol]

the pool is inside of a room so it will not reflect the skybox, in that case the baked probe should be as the same?

[dusty basalt]

Does anyone create worlds we are trying to create a simple world to upload photos can y'all VC us to help us we r so confused rn me and @Juju Animates

[coral patrol]

This is the best i've done so far

Hope to improve it in some way

Next step is making it looks like this for the reflection

[gentle elm]

Assets\com.vrchat.ClientSim\Runtime\Helpers\ClientSimSpatialAudioHelper.cs(8,48): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'ONSPAudioSource' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[kind leaf]

^ I wouldnt use that until an actual attempt at the ever growing issues list is addressed. Stick with what works. CyanEmu. Same thing, CE is just the main branch. ClientSim will be the go to branch at some point but today aint it

[gentle elm]

Does CyanEmu work for 3.0

this is for 3.0

[kind leaf]

3.0? U mean sdk3? yes lol

[gentle elm]

oh fuck yes i meant sdk3 my brain fried

[kind leaf]

we dont give advice for sdk2 here 🙂

[gentle elm]

LOL good

[kind leaf]

if you want to try and fix ClientSim there is a ticket on your issue with a fix, but its bs shit we shouldnt need to deal with https://github.com/vrchat-community/ClientSim/issues/6

[gentle elm]

Yeah Im the one that made the ticket lmao

[nocturne jungle]

My SDK Panel has disappeared and ive tried deleting the SDK in my folder and reimporting it but it didnt work

when i clear the console this is the one error popping up

[bold ibex]

question

[kind leaf]

deleting the sdk and reimporting it is usually never a practical solution, if anything you are only forcing a script collection to recompile. Look at your modern furniture error.

[nocturne jungle]

i only have one error that sticks, ive had the error with things before but it never made my sdk disappear

the 2nd pic shows the error im stuck with

[coral patrol]

Guys for some reasons my water does not render correct once i joined on build and try

[stone marsh]

Quest or pc? If PC, it's probably not made for the built in render pipeline.

[coral patrol]

Oh i see

I'm struggling to understand how to make any sort of water cause it seems working on others assests (about water) give no effects on what i really wanted to create

Every tutorial on youtube i found are URP or other pipelines that vrchat does not support

[stone marsh]

What shader are you using for your water? And is your lighting and shaders enabled for the scene view in unity? Take a screenshot of your editor if you're unsure.

[coral patrol]

I'm using Perfect Water Shaders and seems work but still i dont know if its possible or it will be too hard to build one from 0

[coral patrol]

Light and shaders enabled

[limpid patio]

The light probes are super big for me and I need them to be smaller? Is there any way to achieve this?

[toxic moth]

Does vrc Support cloth components inside of worlds

[stone marsh]

Yes

[toxic moth]

cause im having a issue of cloths disappearing when i upload it

[versed plover]

you can adjust the size of icons like that in the scene view, top left, gizmo menu drop down and just move the slider if thats what your talking about

[limpid patio]

Thank you!

[versed plover]

top right nvm

[zenith harness]

also interested in the water topic just to chime in, would be handy to know in future projects

I'm wondering could it be viable to do a water effect via textures?

[north siren]

how do I parent an object to the player

just to make it attach to them by default

[rain shadow]

Depends what part of the player you want to attach to

[north siren]

I guess it doesnt really matter, Im trying to get an object to follow the player around
I thought maybe I can have an invisible cube attached to the player and it follows where that cube goes

or if it can follow the player directly thatd be better

[rain shadow]

Are you using SDK2 or Udon?

[north siren]

Udonsharp

[rain shadow]

So you could just have an object follow the players position and have whatever object you want as a child of that object

[north siren]

my issue is that the player isnt an object in the heirarchy so I dont really have anyway to reference it

im still super new to udon so I dont know if theres some way to reference the player

[rain shadow]

For player position you can use Networking.LocalPlayer.GetPosition()

[north siren]

okay Ill try that

[north siren]

Thanks! this worked

[severe aspen]

anyone have any idea why an object in my world isn't casting shadows? or maybe that an object I have isn't receiving the shadows?

this is how its supposed to look vs how it looks in game

both objects (The caster and the platform) have shadow casting enabled

but I do notice that the casting object doesnt get shadows on it even in the viewport

the main casting object doesnt seem to be effected by light probes and shadows

yeah, it has to be the main object as putting a clone of the platform above it casts the shadow properly

figured it out, its the material

[ruby jay]

you are trying to bake light with lights set to baked and the mesh is set to static (contribute gi is needed only)

[severe aspen]

well I fixed it by changing the object material, it was standard lite

turns out it looks pretty bad with shadows, so I'll just use the temporary fix I found as the main fix

[vagrant shale]

Anyone know of a permanent fix for this during builds? Restarting Unity fixes it but it's been happening a lot.

[ruby jay]

you are running out of disk space

[vagrant shale]

You're not wrong. Good to know, thanks!

[ruby jay]

you are welcome!

[austere hull]

if i send function to all clients that has rng in it will every player have different results?

[ruby jay]

yes, everyone will have a different result, you could seed the rng, but even then it's gonna be unreliable with late-joiners
you better let one do the rng and sync the result

https://dontasktoask.com/

[static marsh]

@frosty flicker i am looking for a simple world preexisting i can get for free

[frosty flicker]

Simple as a single cube being on your world?

You can just build a simple room with cubes and then find google for "furniture 3d free" and put in your room

[austere hull]

is adding stuff on player screen easy or requires scripting

[desert python]

make canvas. make sure its set to screenspace and that should be it

[austere hull]

and then i can make gui even out of 3d objects

[desert python]

uhhhhh, i think so

ive never used 3d objects in a screenspace canvas

i believe so. ive used quads before

[austere hull]

but it isnt binded to camera

i want do like score counter

that be all time visible

[verbal shadow]

Can anyone point me to some really good free furniture packs? Or a site to get them

Unity asset store seems abit crap lol good skyboxes and textures would be good too!

[cinder spade]

Hello,

When publishing a map to comm labs, how long does it take for VRC users to see it listed online to visit?

[versed plover]

There’s no set time from labs to public, it depends on how much visits and popularity of your world, and user enjoyment, and reports hurt that score. My first world got a couple hundred visitors instantly and I think it went public within a day so take that as you will

[cinder spade]

Er, let me clarify. Once I upload a map thru unity, how long til I'd be able to go to it in game?

For it to appear on the search or viewable in comm labs.

[versed plover]

Oh… instantly

[cinder spade]

In the past it was not instant, but this was like 2+ years ago.

Or maybe back then my event partners forgot to search in comm labs not public.

[versed plover]

I’ve always seen it within 30 seconds of uploading in vrchat

[cinder spade]

Thank you that is very helpful!

[ruby jay]

back then, there was a spreadsheet online that would show the queue, but that's all gone now and replaced by labs

[coral adder]

Thank you

[green lagoon]

glad to be of help I find it to be a pretty good video tutorial series

if that dont work, you can attach stuff to the players head bone

[grave breach]

Question, the new Contacts system, can I implement contacts into worlds?

[remote bobcat]

not yet they are working on it

[grave breach]

Ah alrighty, thanks a mill

[desert python]

kind of

[remote bobcat]

yes kind of with colliders but not true support

worth a while to wait for them to drop for worlds

[pearl plume]

Is there like a time limit on how often you can update a world's description? Made a small writing mistake when I posted an update and it took a while to actually go into effect

(I tired fixing the mistake which is what took the longest)

[kind leaf]

no but we are the lowest on the api request totem pole 🙂
your updates will push, just stop hovering, get a coffee instead 😛

[prime valve]

Any time I do a world upload seems I just get stuck spinning

when I go to test

along with that my feet are stuck stepping. tested in other worlds and there are no issues

grabbing footage, I've tested my ground colliders but it does not seem to affect anything

SDK 2 avatars function fine

all 3.0 avatars do this

crouching does not seem to have this issue only happens when standing

[stone marsh]

1: ensure you have no mods installed
2: ensure you don't have an erroneous collider, such as a large collider encompassing the world or a post processing volume with a collider on it.

[prime valve]

non modded client.
double checked all colliders already, went through each thing in the hieracrchy

[near escarp]

Use the physics debugger instead

[prime valve]

where can i access that?

is it native to unity?

found it

[indigo stump]

Trying to figure out why I have this problem in my world.

In certain places you look, if you jump and move at the same time you glide until you hit a wall.

Why is this happening 😂

[kind leaf]

just like the above https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.4/Documentation/Manual/PhysicsDebugVisualization.html

[stone marsh]

That 100% sounds like a bad collider

If you're being pushed around, spin, or move especially when you jump, you're most likely inside a collider

[gaunt egret]

https://spookyghostboo.booth.pm/

[prime valve]

don't see any issues as to why the stepping issue would be occurring

I've tested with both a mesh collider and a box collider

no collider, I just fall of course.

just noticed my physics debug was not set on, I see those buttons now

though the buttons to toggle it were in it

seems setting it to static fixed it, not sure when it got unchecked

[stone marsh]

Odd. Your world may have been moving downward slightly, or upwards or some shit

[prime valve]

hard to say

[stone marsh]

Prob downward from you standing on it. Would need a rigid body tho

[prime valve]

Error now after opening up udon

Going to restart it

[austere hull]

does stacked capsule coliders cause lag

[stone marsh]

What you mean? Like stacked one above another in a tower? Suppose it means how many of them you use lol.

[stone marsh]

Why the absolute.....

i just moved it to a different project its fine now

[gray sleet]

is there a way to compress a TON of files? I downloaded a thing from the asset store but each texture is like 5mb+ and there are hundreds

[neat badger]

Is it possible to have a video player emit light that dynamically changes color and casts real time shadows from the players and dynamic objects in the room? I know it's possible to light a room with baked light that changes with the video, but I want shadows.

[white moon]

Get VRWorldToolkit, if you Google it it should be the first result

It has a mass texture import tool in it that allows you to set them all to crunch compression at once

[neat badger]

You can click the first file and hold shift and click another file to select all between them, or cltr-A to select all, or hold ctrl and click to select individual ones just as you would in file explorer, and then in the inspector, so long as you have selected only items of the same type, you can then change the parameters for all at once as desired. The options that are different in the selection will have like a dash through them, and the ones that are the same will look normal.

[final crag]

How much would it partially cost for someone to make per say a base And add like working guns and a couple vehicles I just need a estimate

[white moon]

That could vary wildly depending on what you wanted the base to look like, what you consider "working guns" to mean, do they damage other players or just play a shooting animation?
Do the cars need to drive, take damage etc too?

[final crag]

1.Like the size of the night forest world
2.do damage
3.have only 2 that fly the rest are stable witch are like 3

[white moon]

Sounds complicated. Not my expertise in world style but I'd expect minimum of $600+

But I guess it depends on the creator and how much they know

[final crag]

Ok thanks for the estimate

[pearl plume]

anyone able to explain to me how to make emissive materials actually shine on surrounding objects?

[spice fox]

What's new on world sdk?

[white moon]

You have to bake your lighting, and make sure that both objects are static

[pearl plume]

thanks for the tip, but got a bigger problem now

[white moon]

Detach the pipeline I'd on the world object

[pearl plume]

cant

it wont remove

Sign out of the sdk
Save your project
Close unity
Open unity

alr i'll try

[pearl plume]

nope didn't work

[stone marsh]

Well, then it's not the common bug, assuming you followed that exactly and signed out of the sdk, not unity.

Only alternatives are:
You're not signed into the correct account
You have two pipelines in your scene

Has anyone been experiencing weird physics-based glitches and problems in VRC worlds since the update? Particularly with regard to rigidbody collisions?

I've been working on a racing world and since the update, things are randomly jittering, colliding with nothing or moving at the wrong speeds compared to before

[late merlin]

[mossy cedar]

hi, I'm wondering if this is the right place to ask. My VRC world SDK broke after following the update instructions for carrying out an in-place upgrade. I attempted the Advanced Update Process, that didn't work either. I also tried updating/reinstalling udon sharp but that didn't seem to fix the issue either - NVM, found my issue, reimporting USharp a second time fixed it for some reason

[lyric wasp]

yep i have the same error. with udon sharp it seems like it needs to be installed before everything else, or things break. can i replace it without the same problems?

[bold ibex]

Where do I start on making a map

Unity?

[desert python]

yes. you will need this

get 2019.4.31f1 unity. as it is the one for vrchat

[bold ibex]

Alright thank you

[gray sleet]

When trying to upload my world to vrc it takes FOREVER going through stuff and at the end it crashes. Any ideas?

[stone marsh]

Make sure you have future proof disabled.

[verbal shadow]

Hey guys doese anyone know if it’s possible to get an old version of a save back? I accidentally writ over a save and deleted a whole scene by mistake after adding another scene in error

I can’t find a previous version anywhere, if not is it possible to download a file uploaded to vrchat?

[random sphinx]

has anyone noticed any problems with ProTV lately? Seemed to work fine before but in the last week or so, sometimes it gets stuck on loading the video for people. Doesn't happen to everyone, and it doesn't happen consistently, just randomly. Any ideas on this?

[gray sleet]

It is not on

It’s not on and yet uploading takes FOREVER

[random sphinx]

uploading can take a long time sometimes; especially if your world is large, or if you're running other applications at the time, such as VRC; or if your computer specs aren't very good

[gray sleet]

My world isn’t that big. 23mb
My specs are not horrible. And it never took this long before.

I did install some large assets from the unity store though. For like one thing. Should I delete all the unused files : prefabs or such from the assets files?

[random sphinx]

unused assets shouldn't contribute to your upload time

[gray sleet]

Weird. Well not sure then. It just takes AGES to upload. Never did before too.

[random sphinx]

how long is "AGES" exactly?

[gray sleet]

Lol. About 30 mins maybe.
When it used to be like 10

[random sphinx]

that is pretty long. never really taken longer than 10 for me. are you running other apps at the time?

[gray sleet]

No I am not

[random sphinx]

what's your GPU?

[gray sleet]

1060max Q

[random sphinx]

hmmm.... could be part of the problem

idk

do you have any weird packages in your project?

[gray sleet]

Iv uploaded with this before and it was much shorter before.

And not sure. Idk how to tell

[random sphinx]

idk i just mean like are you trying to use LTCGI or volumetric lighting or something like that?

[gray sleet]

No idea what LTCGI is but I don’t think I’m using any of them

[random sphinx]

are you on Wi-Fi or you got a cable plugged in?

i have no idea really

[gray sleet]

Cable

[random sphinx]

beats me then

[gray sleet]

Dang. Alright

[random sphinx]

Any ProTV users experience problems with the video stuck on loading for people? It happens randomly, no idea why. Selecting a song from the playlist doesn't fix it for users who have the problem, nor does queueing up the next song in the queue.

[stoic hound]

Is there a way to launch a world from a link?

[dire canyon]

Is there a way to build & upload worlds from a batch script? I.e. if the same minor change is being made to 3 similar worlds, instead of uploading manually 6 times, I'd like to write a batch file to upload them all in one click.

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/BocuD/VRBuildHelper maybe this tool could help

[dire canyon]

Thanks! I'll look into it.

[random sphinx]

will it cause problems if you use both a Queue and a Playlist with ProTV?

[nocturne jungle]

This is my only error and my SDK is gone

Ok deleted some things, now it says remove one of the "System.dll" but when i search system theres a bunch of stuff that pops up ;-;

May have gotten it

[nocturne jungle]

screw it

ill use this time raging about this to learn blender i guess

[gaunt egret]

havent you already posted an image with an error regarding that furniture pack or whatever it is

try to not use it and see if it happens lmao

[nocturne jungle]

i deleted it and it did nothin

so i scrapped the whole world lmao

tried to reimport the sdk like 5 times deleting multiple other things and nothing changed

soooo screwww it lol

[left rain]

your furniture package looks like it's coming in with all kinds of dependencies it's not supposed to have

like what kind of furniture pack comes with DLLs

[vapid lotus]

can someone send me a mirror that dose not show literly everything

[versed plover]

Change the reflection layers

[vapid lotus]

how lol have not messed with mirros lol

[versed plover]

Should be in inspector tab and then under one of the either shader or script, don’t remeber exaclty where but in inspector tab

[dire canyon]

It looks like you have a build in the assets folder, which is not great. Get rid of the Demo Build folder entirely.

[nocturne jungle]

I deleted the world already lol, im just gonna work on finishing one of my other worlds

[small pond]

does anyone know of any realtime digital clocks i looked into one but it was missing scripts

[gaunt egret]

https://vowgan.booth.pm/items/2181501

[small pond]

i bought that but after importing its missing scripts so i cant use it jk i was importing an old thing not the new one sorry

[restive rune]

buttons of mirror and collider work in cyan emu but not when uplaoded to vrchat plz help 😦

[crisp raft]

Peebis

[cobalt prawn]

Do you have a VRC_UiShape component on the canvas? Is the canvas on the Default layer? Is there an eventsystem in your scene?

[restive rune]

Gonna check these things tomorrow thanks

[unique radish]

Is it possible to instance a private uploaded world to friends+ and allow friends to invite people without publishing it to labs first? I dont think its possible but I'm just confirming that

[grave zealot]

yes afaik

[grave zealot]

elden ring?

[bold ibex]

How exactly do i do this, nothing comes up when i click on the build button?

Does anyone know where I can get this asset ? 👀

[cyan eagle]

I'd assume Booth.pm or Gumroad

[nocturne jungle]

using cyan trigger and my buttons have no logic, the canvas has a box collider and isTrigger is enabled

[coral patrol]

Guys anyone know why the water looks like this? this is the weirdest bug i've ever seen

[stone marsh]

Would be nice if you used MP4 so it would embed the video instead of having to download it.

Without looking at it, Gunna just guess it's a water shader that doesn't support BIRP

[left rain]

looks like some kind of clipping distance problem specific to that water shader. does it have some setting for maximum reflection distance maybe?

[stone marsh]

Lol what Shader is that. If it's not a distance culling, then it's unsupported in Birp.

[nocturne jungle]

Hey Merccc

you know about cyantrigger and how it worksssss? ;-;

[stone marsh]

Yes. But if I was able to provide help for your question, I would.

[nocturne jungle]

Reee

[stone marsh]

Can of worms I'm not wanting to open. Good luck lol

[nocturne jungle]

Lmaooo

[kind leaf]

Cyan has a discord, probably the best place to ask lol

[stone marsh]

Yes... If you're just wanting to toggle a game object on and off there are much simpler ways to do it anyways. But I'm not able to just post an example since I'm traveling.

[versed plover]

anyone know of some nice steam type particle effects?

[lyric wasp]

might not be what you're after, but i used this once for coffee steam https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/particles/environment/steaming-hot-tea-and-coffee-68676

itr seemed decent

[versed plover]

looks nice thanks

[lyric wasp]

mine was actually giant cups of coffee and tea, like twenty feet tall

[versed plover]

geeze

[dry goblet]

How often can you update a world in Labs?

[gaunt egret]

i think you can update it as much as you want, but you're only allowed to upload 1 world into labs per week i thiink?

[dry goblet]

I never knew how stressful it was to stare at a world you set to public finally.

[cyan eagle]

I marked an animation as legacy and now it's not animating in game
Works fine when I hit play in Unity but in game it doesn't happen

[kind leaf]

so don't use legacy
sounds fascinating but legacy means old, out dated, depreciated, but we like to remember it... At least here anyway 😛

[prime valve]

Yes

[grave zealot]

neat, i was going to make that place, guess not lmao

[prime valve]

Thanks, still a wip, need to work on the distance fog. Also all your worlds you make are amazing by the way, I’m sure you’d do am amazing job if you do choose to still do it

[grave zealot]

nah, I don't like to create competition

[prime valve]

That’s fair and I appreciate it, no idea when it will be up but in the near future. Just a little passion project of a friend and I.

[nocturne jungle]

using cyan trigger and my buttons have no logic, the canvas has a box collider and isTrigger is enabled

the cyan discord was useless so far

[restive rune]

I don’t really know what you mean by an event system, the other 2 things are where they are supported to be

[ruby jay]

i replied in cyan's server just now

to sum up the solution:
the layer with the vrcuishape/collider of the canvas was set to Ui, setting it to Default fixed this

[restive rune]

FIXED!! my box collider of the canvas was turned off, turning it back on let me interact with it again

[upper obsidian]

box collider is not needed on canvas for interactive to work.

[kind leaf]

actually a collider is required, but if you use vrc_uishape it is autogenerated in play. We add our own colliders to UI when we need more flexibility.

[restive rune]

Yeah I added my own box collider because the standard one is too big

[thin forge]

guys i got a question, so for those avatars we put in our worlds, do we need to uprade them to phys bones?

and will they be interactive?

[kind leaf]

You don't place avatars in a world. You place NPC's in a world. But any avatar should be upgraded to phys bones as soon as you can if they use dynamic bones.

[thin forge]

i'm sorry i meant NPC xddd, so the 3.0 world SDK can be upgraded by just importing the new one , right?

[kind leaf]

yep

[kind leaf]

make sure to check your world dependencies as well, sometimes, not always, an SDK update is also accompanied by dependency updates as well (UdonSharp, Cyan*, w/e).

[thin forge]

thanks a lot, i will check on that

[white moon]

Are we going to be able to get a version of the phys bones script to use in world stuff? would be nice for some jiggly things rather than using dynamic bones still

[kind leaf]

we should. Seems like the world love has been put on the back burner for Avatar Dev.

[white moon]

👍 Alright, good to know.

[thin forge]

wait, so no phys bones for worlds?

[rain shadow]

It's planned but no release date

[cyan eagle]

Yeah that's currently what I've decided
I only marked it as legacy because either the VRCSDK or VRWorldToolkit told me it needed to be

[smoky juniper]

anyone know where you can find a combat system prefab for 3.0 worlds

[kind leaf]

vrcprefabs.com think they are all projectile based tho

[slim kayak]

Noobie world maker here. I added a couple of the stuffed hamsters to my world but when I load in they fall through the furniture/floor. What could cause that to happen?

[nocturne mason]

I make some reflection probes for my room, but when I had generated light, is like that the sky go into the room, what I can do about it?

[kind leaf]

With no colliders you have no collision with any surface

[cedar stag]

How can you upload your world after making it?

[kind leaf]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/creating-your-first-world

[floral marlin]

How do you add post processing to a 3D world??

[vast tide]

does anyone know how to upload PC and the quest version but the PC sees the PC version and the quest sees the quest version

[green lagoon]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/cross-platform-setup

the duplicating the project part is not strictly necessary

[vast tide]

what if its two seperate files?

[green lagoon]

they just need to share the same build ID

[vast tide]

which build ID should it be derived from?

the PC version or the quest version

[green lagoon]

whichever one you upload first

[vast tide]

alr thx

so on quest, the entire world is grey

how to fix?

[green lagoon]

are you using custom shaders

[vast tide]

not sure, i was just given the world files

and i just needed to upload them

so the problem is that the PC version can see the PC version but quest sees a grey void

[stone marsh]

If the shader wasn't supported it should break to magenta. Might be a lighting issue.

[pearl plume]

can someone please tell me why my glass just looks like a mirror?

can't even see through

[stone marsh]

Unless all your materials lost the textures and are just gray empty standard shader material

[vast tide]

uh

[green lagoon]

I would point out that your blender materials wouldn't transfer to Unity as far as the slider values

[stone marsh]

^

[pearl plume]

so should I just add glass in unity?

[stone marsh]

Wasting your time making shaders in blender.

[green lagoon]

yes

[pearl plume]

aight thanks

[stone marsh]

Yes. Just put a normal shader on the glass. Such as standard or a glass shader if you want refraction

[green lagoon]

so like the only real point to setting up the materials in blender is so you have something to look at for doing uv unwrapping on tiling textures

[stone marsh]

Basically.

[vast tide]

well in the mean time, do you guys know how to disable the option for quest user to join

[stone marsh]

Would only do it, if it was quick. Doing more advanced Shader work would be kinda pointless

[green lagoon]

there isn't you'll basically have to upload a new-build ID

[stone marsh]

Once the world is uploaded, you have to file a support ticket requesting it be removed

#vrchat-support

[vast tide]

i see

[stone marsh]

If you request it to be removed, they will remove the quest version, but you have to wait for support. There's no other way

[vast tide]

alr thx

[stone marsh]

Like rain said, just making a new ID is fastest but you'd have to take down the PC version too and re-up it

[vast tide]

ok

[pearl plume]

also, should I set up lighting in blender or unity?

[stone marsh]

Unity

[pearl plume]

mk

[stone marsh]

Blender should only really be used for 3D modeling

[pearl plume]

aight

[narrow folio]

can someone add and help me with my unity stop working can build anymore its just frozen on one frame

[unkempt valve]

how do i add a component to say, a cube, that lets me click it, and it toggles on a gameobject, say, another cube

using sdk3

[restive rune]

walls disappear when i get close or too far away

[left rain]

applying materials in blender allows you to assign materials per-face in unity using the same face sets you defined in blender. the blender materials you use can just be stand-ins, their settings don't matter, but the names are useful so that you can define the matching materials in your unity project to assign to the material sets in the mesh import settings

I'd definitely say that for all but the simplest one-material imports, you should create named materials in blender for this reason. just don't bother tuning any of the shader settings

[unique radish]

My gut tells me something with camera depth maybe but idk that looks very strange

[left rain]

it's how substance painter expects to work as well

[sacred vale]

I have no Idea if you guys know how to fix this but when trying to upload the world the console says System.IO.FileNotFoundException: C:/Users/"my name"/AppData/Local/Temp/DefaultCompany/EMBER'S THEATER/scene-StandaloneWindows64-SampleScene.vrcw does not exist

[left rain]

avoid spaces and apostrophes in your file paths

[sacred vale]

k ill try that

[earnest hazel]

occlusion culling, it's been buggy.

[sacred vale]

What do i do if I cant access the control panel?

its been a pain and Ive been stuck for a while now

[earnest hazel]

vc?

[left rain]

if the control panel isn't showing, check the console for errors

it's almost always a compile error caused by some third party stuff you imported, or the wrong version of the sdk

[forest wasp]

Idk if anyone can help me with this, ive just started world creation. It was going great and had a world down, im trying to push an update and when I go to upload it I get 7 errors. if anyone has time to help i would appreciate it, other wise its okay ill try and figure it out. I did get some of my assets from the unity asset store if that matters?

[kind leaf]

The only issue with the Asset store is when you blindly install the assets. Standard Assets break the SDK. Are these the only errors?

[forest wasp]

yeah these are my only errors

so I need to go back and delete all the assets from the store?

[kind leaf]

no

[forest wasp]

how do i fix this issue then?

[kind leaf]

press clear, see what remains. Also restart Unity. What did you just install?

[forest wasp]

lemme see one sec

only thing i installed

after restarting i have more errors

[kind leaf]

SE Basic Assets: Delete the folder that says First Person Player. All the other scripts are useless but MouseLook breaks Unity some times. So cant hurt to delete the entire folder

^Inside the Brick Project Studio folder

[forest wasp]

oh okay one sec lemme try

I dont see a first person player folder

[kind leaf]

its in another folder called Scripts and Animations

[forest wasp]

copy thanks deleted

[kind leaf]

can you also show your entire Assets folder, go ahead and make the icons small with full text. *If the error persists.

[forest wasp]

the SGB is from ghosti and they use that in their worlds so i figured itd be aight

just got this aswell

[potent forge]

I don’t know what I’ve done but, everytime I move around my world the walls disappear behind me for a split second/when I get close to them (out of the corner of my vision). Anyone know if maybe I clicked something by accident or how to get rid of this? Thank you in advance (I am very very new to this)

[kind leaf]

Occlusion Culling isnt baked correctly

[kind leaf]

Did you save and restart Unity since deleting that folder?

[forest wasp]

oh not after let me try that

lmao

[potent forge]

Ooo! Do you know how this is fixed? I appreciate any help/tips.

also, I apologize for interrupting

[kind leaf]

Did you make the world, download a prebuilt free VRC world, or buy it?

[forest wasp]

Your good, i may just have to uninstall the brick project folder

[potent forge]

I am in the process of making the world

[forest wasp]

i didnt use many assets from it anyway

[kind leaf]

you shouldnt have to, nothing else in the asset is game breaking. But if its not many assets, its worth a shot.

[forest wasp]

yee

[kind leaf]

And you did attempt to setup Occlusion Culling already then correct?

[forest wasp]

thanks for the help, its still not working but ive got stuff too attend to. Ill try again some other time

[versed plover]

Is there a way to “bake” a 5ish second looping video into a world?

Without a video player

[potent forge]

I apologize for not answering. I believe I’ve fixed it myself. Just rebaked everything and it seems to be working now

[kind leaf]

yeah, anytime you move or add a new static you need to rebake occlusion culling if you have it setup.

[potent forge]

never mind it’s not working 😢 maybe I do not have it set up

[sacred warren]

So as VRC doesn't allow scripts, I'm trying to hardcode the values that the script sets, into the shader that uses it but I'm running into a few issues. Basic values are easy enough, but in some cases the configuration script sets images for things like noise. Does anyone know the syntax format this would be expected in, in the shader itself?

Or even some way of seeing the shader's calculated values.

[kind leaf]

but vrc does allow scripts, this isnt altspace... We script with Udon ( a visual scripting language) or UdonSharp (a C# -> Udon compiler). If you want to script within a shader, see #shaders for assistance.

[sacred warren]

You know what I mean. Standard Unity scripts, not Udon scripting.

The shader came with a Unity script to control the wind (via the editor initially), that obviously doesn't work at runtime in VRC.

So instead I'm trying to hardcode the values into the shader as they don't need to change anyway.

[cyan eagle]

How would I project a circle to ground as a fake shadow effect for players?

[manic wharf]

does anyone know where i can get a pool table like this? for a world

[coral patrol]

There is no way to change camera options for vrchat?

[silk zealot]

Would anybody happen to have a blaster/pvp weapon prefab I could use? Or if anybodys available to teach me how to make them.

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/Toly65/UdonCombatSystem

[silk zealot]

I use SDK2. Should I switch to SDK3?

since I imagine Udon is only for SDK3

[green lagoon]

yes you should move over SDK 2 is deprecated and going to be removed

https://cyanlaser.booth.pm/items/3194594 this tool lets you emulate the programming style of SDK 2

[silk zealot]

ahhh okay

will it be difficult to use the script with a gun model I have?

[green lagoon]

nope it wouldn't be tricky

like you just shove your gun model in the hierarchy with the script that goes pew pew

or shove the script onto the gun

[silk zealot]

ohh okay.

I'll try it rn and see if it works

[green lagoon]

and I might suggest you make a new Unity project for the sdk3 stuff

so you don't break your project by accidentally mixing sdks

[silk zealot]

I actually started off on SDK3 but switched over to SDK2 thinking combat wouldn't work on SDK3

So I still have the old project on SDK3, thankfully

[green lagoon]

cool

[silk zealot]

Is there something else I need to add to my world/assets before adding the scripts because I keep getting this error message?

or am I applying it wrong

@green lagoon

[green lagoon]

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

yeah from the error messages you need to install this first

[silk zealot]

Gun is non existant in game, its invisible.

im probably doing sum wrong.

[green lagoon]

probably is there a model attached to the gun script

[silk zealot]

Yes, Im going to try aplying it also to just a square to see if its the script or the mesh im using faults

[green lagoon]

yeah that's a good idea

maybe also see if it comes with a testing map

[silk zealot]

just scripts, doesnt come with a testing map

[green lagoon]

fair just figured I'd check as that's relatively commonplace

[silk zealot]

Turns out it is the scripts making it invisible

Maybe I only need to apply certain ones

[green lagoon]

I haven't used that before so I wouldn't know how you're supposed to apply it correctly

maybe see if there is a prefab in the folder

[silk zealot]

realized that this is an older version, he has a newer one that released 7 days ago

it includes prefabs

[green lagoon]

good

[restive rune]

So how do I fix it?

[austere hull]

i have synced class

but it has rng in it

will everyone have same or different results?

[kind leaf]

Depends on how you setup your rng. If you want the same set it in start, then on late join set the joiners value to the current gost.

[austere hull]

for now i dont focus on late joiners

just everyone in room

[kind leaf]

If its in start then yes, everyone should be the same. Should...

[austere hull]

using UdonSharp;
using UnityEngine;
using VRC.SDKBase;
using VRC.Udon;

[UdonBehaviourSyncMode(BehaviourSyncMode.Continuous)]
public class deck1 : UdonSharpBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log("start");
    }
    public override void Interact() {
        GameObject test = GameObject.Find("Deck1");
        if(test.transform.childCount != 0f){
        Transform selection = test.transform.GetChild(Random.Range(0, test.transform.childCount));
        selection.parent = GameObject.Find("Deck1 active").transform;
        selection.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        selection.position = new Vector3(6, 1, -1);
        }
    }
}

[kind leaf]

Looks good, I just rolled out of bed tho...
I'm worried the rng value will not be the same tho without fetching the value from the host.

Start works exactly how you are thinking it should in single operations. Here in VRC land, every joiner triggers Start, which could have the opposite effect of what you want.

Try your script out... But if you need U/U# help I recommend using the #udon-general and #udon-networking.

[austere hull]

these channels totally dead

[austere hull]

and i dont want play with host

i want anyone be able to update values for everybody

[kind leaf]

yeah nvm, like I said, just woke up, your rng isnt in Start it's in Interact so it should be unique to the person interacting and yeah if everything is synced correctly you should be fine.

It's not dead btw lol, just asleep... vrc should have legit staff for aid on top of the helpful community... *Without having to use the 2+week response time ticket system 😛

[austere hull]

im just typing it so i see script actually works

[austere hull]

how variable sync works

does the player that ran the script syncs from himself for other players

[ocean crag]

Does anyone know how to get the pens to work when editing in android? I got them to finally load into my quest world but nothing happens when you try to draw with them, the tail length is .5 also

[austere hull]

have you tried copying pen from example scene

[ocean crag]

Yup

[nocturne mason]

what is better first? that I make object in blender or lighting in unity?

[kind leaf]

you cant light without your geometry sooo blender?

[nocturne mason]

I'm only a beginner, I don't know what to do, I had created my room on unity, and now i don't know if create my blender object for my room first the light, so what I can do? 🧐

[nocturne mason]

what do you do first?

[versed plover]

you have to have objects or rooms inorder for the light to know how to bounce off the objects and walls so you need whatever models first

[nocturne mason]

oh thx you

[rugged plover]

hi, I need help with my world. I placed the spawn point correctly in the map, but when I build and test it, the player spawns in the void. No errors in the log, nothing. Just me and the void. Any idea of what could it be?

[zealous sandal]

Hmmm... are you falling when your in the void?

[rugged plover]

yup

[zealous sandal]

Does your world have a collider on it? For your player to stand on?

[rugged plover]

yes, it does

[zealous sandal]

ok just to quickly rule things out, try creating a new cube and placing it underneath your spawn point.

[rugged plover]

alright

[zealous sandal]

what you find out?

I setup a scene to follow along.

[rugged plover]

ok, I did what you told me, but I think that when the player spawns it gets teleported very far away from the map. I believe this is the case, because when I reach the death zone, on the screen the entrance appears for just one split second. (I havent created multiple spawn points)

[zealous sandal]

verify that your physics layers are set correctly

In that case set the spawn point far up above the map.

we can quickly rule out colliders if you aren't near any

but as you fall towards the map

when you come in contact with your terrain you might get yeeted

[rugged plover]

btw, mine looks very different from yours

the collision matrix

[zealous sandal]

yeah have heavily changed mine

have you changed yours at all?

[rugged plover]

nope

[zealous sandal]

ok

[rugged plover]

I don't touch anything that i don't know

[zealous sandal]

the blue dot is my spawn point and the cube is my terrain

check the layer that your terrain is set to, i circled it in red for you

[rugged plover]

i checked, it's default

all the objects that compose my map are on the default layer

[kind leaf]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit install and check the debugger. Also make sure your position for your spawn point isnt some large number. Ideally you want a spawn at 0,0,0, and build from that however it's not necessary, you just need to avoid large distance spawns so x= 1,000 for example would be a bad idea, same with player teleports.

[zealous sandal]

here is an example of something i ran into.
notice how i have 2 box colliders on this sword?

I have one on top of the hierarchy.

and one on the handle.

[rugged plover]

ok

[zealous sandal]

@rugged plover What ended up happening was, if a player walked onto it. They would get yeeted off the map.

[rugged plover]

Yes, i got that

I'll try installing the plug-in that KevBal told me to, and I'll post here if I have any trubles

[zealous sandal]

Best of luck with that!

[rugged plover]

thanks a lot for the quick support!

AHA! Found It!

this "little" guy had been bugging me for a loooong time, but now it's time for my revenge, DIE!

[potent forge]

dumb question here; what’s the best size image for a canvas ?

I can’t seem to resize my images right

[upper obsidian]

On the canvas, the scale is 0.01, the rest is set up visually.

[small pond]

is there any way to check if a world instance is public or not through udon

[austere hull]

can non pickupables have sync component

[kind leaf]

yes - although not required. I've used the sync component on moving platforms but you can also use UdonSync for the float values of the transform.

[potent forge]

I’m struggling so hard on this. I’m trying to just put a giant picture (of my own) up on one of my walls. I can’t seem to find any information on how to do that. If anyone could help me out that would be great. I am a complete noob and need step instructions unfortunately lol

[small pond]

is there any way to record audio and then have it go through an audio source somewhere in realtime

im trying to make a speaker / microphones type thing

[fast python]

So I need to fit over 500 models in a world but I'm concerned about the file size. There's already 6mb/100mb used and I have less than 5% of the necessary files in.

What would you all suggest for compression?

[unique radish]

Is it just the mesh data or is it the meshes + textures

[fast python]

Meshes, textures, and animations

I'm compiling a VR Pokedex

[hoary forge]

Hello everyone I need help making a dj booth lock 🔒 and toggle I’m new to unity could use help !!!!!

I could use a video or something would be nice

[unique radish]

Have you played with the unity import settings at all? You might already have tried but I'd try using crunch compression and limiting the resolution to 1024 and see how much that takes down the build size. @fast python

[reef marsh]

Does anyone know how to make caves in unity with terrain without using blender

[unique radish]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zdXJvIzkXk Just found this for you. This video shows you how to set up a code lock prefab that somebody made and get it to teleport a player. So you could have it TP the player into the booth. There is some c# code but you only have to write two lines. The rest is just drag and drop stuff. If you're planning to learn udon through code instead of the visual scripting graph, this is a great introduction

Its VERY customizable if you know unity coding but this video just shows you a simple teleport, enough to get somebody into a DJ booth!

[potent forge]

Am I really this dumb that I can’t picture on the wall?? LOL 🥲

[late wigeon]

Anyone familiar with Udon Karts that knows how to get the steering wheel to turn more than just 90° to either side?

[nocturne jungle]

[misty wave]

Mind if I drop a link to advertise my new world I published last night?

[misty wave]

indeed

[stone marsh]

Yep. This is a development thread, not a show off thread.....

[analog bloom]

Staircase approval?

what do you guys think?

[stone marsh]

Looks like a staircase lol.

If the steps are kinda high. It might be a good idea to place a collider at an angle so it's a smooth slope to walk up them, rather than each step so the avatar doesn't get stuck when smol

But it's hard to tell scale so may not be needed

[analog bloom]

Damn it I forgot the colliders lmao

EDIT: nvm

[nocturne jungle]

im just trying to edit this prefab im using

[kind leaf]

not dumb just ignoring the obvious. A picture is the same thing as a texture. Add the picture to your world and then just drag n drop the picture onto a quad game object. A new material will automatically be created using the picture as the albedo texture. Now you have a most basic picture to hang on your wall.

[eager garnet]

how do i make a chair that overides a persons animation and makes them dance?

[potent forge]

Wow. The whole time it was this simple 🥲 thanks hahaha

[kind leaf]

You cant. If you install Terrain Tools you can cut holes in your terrain. Some parts of Terrain Tools are not directly compatible with VRC but there is a VRC Rebuild of Unity's Terrain Tools on VRCPrefabs.com i believe. I use Terrain Tools on occasion with no issue tho. Cutting holes in the terrain and then modeling the cave is the typical way to make caves. Outside of that you need to use advanced terrain assets like Digger but these as well are not compatible so you will need to make your terrain and then use a terrain to mesh tool to convert the terrain to something usable.

[reef marsh]

Ok thanks

[kind leaf]

VRC_Stations have a controller override spot in the inspector. Add your custom animation controller there. Make sure your animations are humanoid.

[eager garnet]

ok, but how should the controller be set up in the animator? do i just make it the default state?

[kind leaf]

depends on how complex your animation(s) are, but sure

maybe set the animation to loop as well so they dance the entire time they are in the station

there used to be a tutorial on youtube but avatar shit buries it all.

[scenic gyro]

Hey Kev, Jay from Australia… love to chat if you had 5 spare?

[kind leaf]

Sure, in txt only though, gettin my MrBallen (YT) fix in before bed 🙂

[scenic gyro]

Ok. No worries… looking to get you to build a space. Just had some Qs before

[austere hull]

how

you do "float values for transform"

[nocturne jungle]

anyone know what settings it is for a transparent mirror

[stone marsh]

I literally gave you the prefab. What are you asking for?

[nocturne jungle]

i want to edit a prefab im using

[stone marsh]

What prefab?

[nocturne jungle]

just a mirror prefab ive being using with low med high, want to change the medium to transparent

like id be able to change the reflect layers on it right?

[stone marsh]

If you're using the standard vrc shader you can't.

[nocturne jungle]

ohhh ok

[stone marsh]

That's why I gave you the prefab you have to use

[nocturne jungle]

oh ok

ill mess with that then

[stone marsh]

The link is up above as a reply to you already

[nocturne jungle]

yup ty, never knew you couldnt use regular vrc layers

[stone marsh]

It has nothing to do with the layers

It's the shader used. The standard vrc mirror shader doesn't support transparency so a custom mirror shader is needed. This is used in the custom shader slot on the mirror component.

[white moon]

Anyone had luck adding the new client sim package recently? Just trying to day but i cant seem to checkout the package

[small pond]

anyone know how i can pull up any console using unity's "build and test" button to test locally

[fast python]

Sorry for the late response. Most of the textures are 128x128 or 256x256, so I can't really crunch them much more than I am now. Looking at the upload with VR World Toolkit revealed the biggest files in the project just seem to be the .fbx files themselves.

[cobalt prawn]

In case you don't know, crunch compression is a separate process from lowering the resolution, and can also lower the file size very significantly regardless of resolution

[cobalt prawn]

You can also compress meshes in their import settings https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/mesh-compression.html

[austere hull]

can i make zone whenever certain object gets close to it it automatically gets binded to certain position

[dry goblet]

I'm excited for whenever if and when my world leaves the labs

[frosty hornet]

I'm just wondering is there a possibility that someone can make a house of the dead avatar world for Halloween

For pc and quest

[glacial panther]

this is for world development help, not world commissions

[opaque veldt]

I’m trying to upload this world, but every time I try to visit it in VRC, I get sent back to my homeworld

Is there a hidden list of requirements for a world to be uploaded or something? I have a scene descriptor, spawn, and the world which is just a room

[desert python]

have you tried reupload and checking your unity console for errors?

[opaque veldt]

Yes, they’re aren’t any errors

theres this but i dont know what it means

[glacial panther]

did you upload for the right platform ?

idk

[opaque veldt]

just for pc

i went on desktop and i got sent back

[desert python]

many people have had this happen before but ive never really seen a real solution discusef

do you have “clear on leave” enabled on your console? cus that cab get rid of valuble errors that need to be addressed

[opaque veldt]

No I don’t

[desert python]

hmm. all i can suggest is disconnecting your world id in the pipeline manager and reupload as a new world and see if better

[glacial panther]

it happened too me on my first world....... no idea how i fixed it though 😂

it was probably some quick stuff like forgot to set a spawnpoint or the descriptor

[opaque veldt]

I have both of those though

[desert python]

and this has happened to multiple people for like, years now

ive not had it happen to me

[stone marsh]

Few things can cause this

Your spawn point in the world descriptor is set to 1 but no spawn is placed into it so it's empty

The spawn point is absurdly far from 0:0:0 or under the respawn threshold

Wrong unity version

Erroneous colliders

Absurdly high hit to memory usage

Corrupt upload.

Might be helpful to post a screenshot showing your entire unity project.

[stone marsh]

That's a lot of lights. Are those realtime?

[opaque veldt]

i don't know, i found it here https://booth.pm/en/items/3407474

i have zero unity experience

[stone marsh]

You also seem to have two scenes open. Should prob close the sample scene.

[opaque veldt]

I tried reuploading it after closing the sample scene and now it’s compiling everything

[opaque veldt]

this solved it

idk why it did but thank you

[rugged plover]

it's me again, I'm yet to feel gratified by this project. Why does it say that "the scene doesn't exist"? I checked in the build settings, nothing out of the ordinary. WHYYYYYY?!

[stone marsh]

prob multiple scene descriptors. Glad it worked.

[stone marsh]

That is just a general symptom of the issue. Not the issue itself. Notice you have other errors. You can't arbitrarily pick errors.

Your actual issue is you have simple light probe placer (see the other errors). This isn't compatible with 2019 unity. It will still work, and you can use it to place your probes. But once you're done placing your probes, you need to delete the simple light probe placer folder entirely and remove it's scripts from your scene.

[rugged plover]

alright

let me try that

[unique radish]

Ohh okay thats a great tool, helps me a lot

[mellow plinth]

This is just a basic avatar world. But I encounter something weird in which on play, my world goes dark. It was fine when I was testing it in VRChat. Why is it like this. Before I upload it, will it be fine in VRC than what it shows here in Unity?

[glacial panther]

have you added any light sources?

[mellow plinth]

Lord, I'm so tired. Thank you for that. I'll try and see if it works. I've been up all night trying to remake my avi world.

[bold ibex]

[austere hull]

is this what prevents host from controlling others pickups

[somber wraith]

i know vrchat doesnt support many scripts, so most birdflock scripts that already exist, wont work. does anybody here have a good way to make birdflocks / bug flocks with particles that work in vrc?

[ocean crag]

Has anyone here successfully put pens in a quest world?

[left rain]

implementing boids in U# would be almost exactly the same as a C# implementation

there's a flocking tutorial available for free from unity's learning portal, you could pretty much transcribe it word for word into U# with a few exceptions

[stone marsh]

QV pens on booth work fine for quest

[coral patrol]

How can i make a light beam (volumetric) in Unity without using HDRP etc?

[versed plover]

There’s a couple prefabs on booth if you search volumetric lighting but if you know how to make shaders that’s the easiest way

[coral patrol]

Its the easiest and the best looking way?

[ocean crag]

When I import them into my world they cant be drawn with, you can pick them up and everything just no lines appear

[kind leaf]

you need to use the quest material/shader variation that comes with QV Pens.

I believe it's integrated into the main package now but they still have the Quest assets as an additional download on booth on the same page

[versed plover]

It’s gonna be the easiest to look on booth, volumetrics in vrchat HAVE to work on shaders because most of the really nice volumetrics work on scrips which don’t work with vrchat

[restive rune]

billard game not working, getting these errors anyone know how to fix this?

[somber wraith]

well, im not used to unity and have no idea how to use u# and googling it doesnt really give useable results

[left rain]

then flocking might be a little bit beyond your ability until you can learn a bit more Unity. if you can follow along this C# flocking tutorial, translating it to U# should be mostly 1:1. there's just a few things you wouldn't easily be able to do in VRC like dynamically spawning objects on Start. https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/flocking#

[kind leaf]

^yeah, use an object pool instead of instantiate and no enums. Other than that U# is C# so most C# tutorials are valid, the older the better tho. Less modern techniques in older C# tutorials

[pearl plume]

Anyone have any good video recommendations on how to add this sort of lighting?

trying to add it to a nighttime map

i thought you didnt like tutorials lol

[coral patrol]

What i've done so far working on for a week

[kind leaf]

thats lookin slick

[coral patrol]

I took inspiration by pool rooms on Reddit

[green lagoon]

nicely done replicating it

[coral patrol]

I'm glad you like it, this was my first attempt to making a 3d map and it was for real a pain in 000 😦

[green lagoon]

at least you got there and good ideas starting with like trying to replicate a picture as it gives you a a goal to work towards that you can easily tell when you get there

[pearl plume]

true lol. there was a bit of info that got updated so didn't know if there was an updated video

[kind leaf]

baking doesn't really change, under the hood methods do but the process remains the same or close enough

[pearl plume]

so I would just go to "Lighting -> Scene -> Generate Lighting"

right?

[kind leaf]

in short, yeah... There are a bunch of settings you can play with for better results but the default should be fine. GPU will bake faster, but you'll need more than 4gb of vram. CPU will take a good while depending on the scene size.

[pearl plume]

frick

I just started a CPU lightmap

should I stop it and do GPU?

[kind leaf]

let it go, experience the cpu bake as we all have 😛

[pearl plume]

it says this gonna shid gonna take 30 mins

[kind leaf]

ah thats nothing

there are people here who have sat through hours lol. cpu bakes can be a nightmare.

[pearl plume]

the
w h a t

[pearl plume]

aight im doin gpu

0_0

[kind leaf]

some people can only do cpu 😦 for those, their best hope is they own an nvidia card and then they can use Bakery which is lightyears faster than Unity GPU

[pearl plume]

also, directional or non directional lighting?

i am a fricking noo

b

[kind leaf]

do you have a sun?

no overworld sun then go non directional

indoor scene 🙂

[pearl plume]

nope. no sun

it's gonna be night world

[pearl plume]

do I gotta re-bake lighting every time I add a new emissive texture?

[kind leaf]

ideally you setup your scene as you want it and then bake. I bake often but I use Bakery. And yes, if you add or change a baked emissive or even add a new static object you need to rebake

[pearl plume]

alr

[kind leaf]

odds are that you wont be happy with your first few bakes. I assure you baked lighting is the solution for the best look and performance so if this happens, consider looking at multiple videos or even asking in #world-lighting .

[pearl plume]

alr thanks

one more quick question:

if I make a slight adjustment such as altering the emissive intensity, would I have to rebake for that ?

[kind leaf]

yep, or the change wont be applied to the lightmap

[pearl plume]

rip

thanks

[kind leaf]

while testing light options you can bake at a lower textel count (resolution in Unity), its probably around 20? at default? Drop it something crappy like 5, keep in mind the shadow blend, and light spread will look like shit but it might give you a better idea before you invest the time in a higher resolution bake. The lower the resolution the faster it bakes.

[fervent tinsel]

does anyone know how to have music playlists for a vrc world
because i cant use scripts so im not really sure what to do
very new to unity & making worlds

[white moon]

Add a video player like the Udon# video player, and you can just give it a list of youtube videos to loop through. SO you can just put a few songs in it that way.

[fervent tinsel]

@white moon so i can make like a yt playlist and that'll work?

[hollow quail]

is the currently available World SDK just broken? it breaks 90% of the time for me and even when i do a world upload just to test, and join myself, it kicks me back into my homeworld. i have done 2 completely fresh installs of Unity 2019.4.31, and several brand new downloads of the SDK and its simply not working as intended. any ideas?

[white moon]

No, you have to put in the individual video urls, a youtube playlist wont work

[errant beacon]

SDK works fine on my end - try importing https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases and see what it's world debugger reports? getting kicked back to your homeworld likely means there's something in your world preventing it from compiling properly

[hollow quail]

i literally only have the VRC world SDK, and a flat piece of terrain with a grass material. plus the empty game object with the descriptor attached. so idk what out of those 3 things could cause the issue

the SDK itself is completely broken upon re-opening the unity project as well

[restive rune]

Anyone?

[kind leaf]

If you are using an empty game object with the scene descriptor attached it tells me that you didnt follow the "Setting up your world" guide found on the download page for the sdk which recommends using the VRCWorld prefab, which also happens to include the player modifiers for jump. Which is a bad sign...Use the toolkit linked above and simply follow instructions and the sdk will work just fine. Dont wing shit you arnt comfortable with

[thick magnet]

can someone help me with this error code, its screwed me over so many times I just want to figure out why it happens

sometimes when I upload it says sample scene doesn't exist and I have to redo the whole world in a new unity project

heres the log

and heres pic

[restive rune]

for anyone having the same problem with billards udonscripts not applying to the asset, don't download 1.5.1 but 1.5.0, the scripts seem to be broken on the new version for me and work fine on the older version

[kind leaf]

what version did you install first?

[restive rune]

the latest version 1.5.1

[kind leaf]

Well its not the table, I just threw 1.5.1 into a project with no errors. Something else is conflicting. Lack of UdonSharp or TextMeshPro or some other conflict

[restive rune]

it could be that i installed UdonSharp later on into the project instead of at the beginning

and thats why the udonbehaviours were bugged

but version 1.5.0 is working for me with zero problems

https://github.com/VRCBilliards/vrcbce/issues/143

here are 5 people who had the same problem with the newest version so i thought id throw it out there

[kind leaf]

the problem with that is the randomness, it's most likely user error. On the rare occasion it might be a Unity hiccup, but when you install your dependencies first and ensure you have no conflicting scripts (Standard Assets), you are usually good to go

on the bright side, its mostly qol changes in 1.5.1 so use 1.5.0 with no worries.

[restive rune]

im a unity noob so if you say im fine im not looking into it any more then i need to,, thanks

[fervent tinsel]

@white moon how do i add multiple links?

i only see a spot for 1 link

or really anyone can answer that if they know

[bold ibex]

bruh i looked back at my world for once and i have 3 reports why

does that mean it will be taken down

[versed plover]

ProTV has a drag and drop prefab that you can predefine urls in a little ui menu and you just click it and it’ll play that song

Idk if that’s 100% what your asking for but it works for me fine

[austere hull]

does many pickupables may cause lags

[fervent tinsel]

I’m trying to get a playlist on for a night club

So that a loops through the playlist

[versed plover]

Ah I see

[modest drift]

hi guys is there anyone that can help me with my world , when i testit my character is floating , like hes falling just above the floor of my build

whats going wrong?

[fervent tinsel]

would that work for what i’m trying to do?

[versed plover]

Only thing is it wouldn’t auto play, you’d have to go to wherever you put the canvas and click play on the song so

[fervent tinsel]

yea nahhh i need jt to auto play

[versed plover]

But if you have like a couple different 5 hour mixes of songs off YouTube that’s how I have mine

Fair enough

[fervent tinsel]

i’ll just set it to loop some mixes or a custom mix with the setup i have now

cause it auto plays as of now but only one link

i’m sure u can add multiple links somehow

[versed plover]

True, just gotta figure out how

[misty shoal]

Hi! Does anyone know by any chance how dynamic bones/jiggle physics could be added to objects inside a vrc world?

[hollow quail]

I was just going off of memory from about a year ago. But any idea what would cause the actual SDK in unity itself to break when re-opening the project?

[white moon]

There should be a plus there to add extra lines for extra links. If your using the udon sharp player

[thick magnet]

just bumping this up, any one know how to fix?

[left rain]

try removing special characters like spaces and parentheses from your file path

file systems and command line parsers hate that shit

[barren briar]

Can anyone tell me or Help me on why the Builder Tab in the SDK is suddenly blank when you have no Errors to fix?

[lime ember]

I have a simple problem that I'm not seeing the solution to immediately but someone might know it off the top of their head,
basically I have these books on a book shelf, all box colliders they have pick up on them but when I hit play the books seem to be dropping below the level?

yeah actually after I attached the camera to a book it's pretty funny they spawn under the world and explode

[stone marsh]

Are your colliders set with "istrigger" enabled?

[fast python]

Is there a way to make a canvas 1 sided or have a different image on the back?

[lime ember]

not currently

[stone marsh]

Screenshot works better than a file I'd have to download.

If your colliders do Not have istrigger enabled, the shelf they're placed on, is it a proper mesh with a mesh collider that accurately conforms to the shelves?

[lime ember]

oh that would explain it I thought I could get away with box collider

[stone marsh]

It may also just be Best to make them kinematic such that they are not affected by gravity. Placing colliders on top of and next to each other can cause collision issues and performance hit.

If the entire bookcase has a single box collider, then your books are just inside a collider and will fall.

Setting IsKinematic on the rigidbody will disable the physics engines effect on it and also get rid of your need to use a collider on the shelf

[lime ember]

I'll play around with it some more, I was hoping for physics on the books so if someone wanted to throw them or do a dominos kinda thing

[stone marsh]

Fair. Then ya just need to make sure they're placed not too close to each other that they will get launched. Also ensuring they're very slightly above the shelf such that they will fall into place. If they are inside the collider at all, they will get launched or cause a hit to performance from a continuous collision check

If it doesn't work, or you have issues. Share a screenshot showing the bookcase setup and it's inspector

[lime ember]

cool thanks, do you recognize the book shelf? lol

[stone marsh]

Nope

[lime ember]

lol all g, it's from gen 1 pokemon gb era

it's a pain in the rear but I'm trying to make a seamless pallet town so you can look outside from inside etc

and I plan to just keep going with it and see how far the project goes

you guys know if it's possible to store information on users cache like a save game or some how within the world itself? or is something like that not a thing?

right now my projects more artsy fartsy but it would be cool if it could have function at some point

my other idea is to just provide a rental roster similar to pokemon stadium and limit the pokemon to what's obtainable thus far with respective levels but it would be cooler if we could get a file save system going but not sure it's going to be a long while before I get to route 1 lmao

[lime ember]

aww yeeahh, we talkin' bookshelf physics

[small pond]

does anyone mind telling me what the last 2 tags mean/how i can fix them 😳

[short gulch]

I think the last one means that the world performs poorly. Not sure what the Text Harrassing means

[small pond]

yea the Text harrassing is what im most confused about

[lime ember]

does text harassment mean someone used comic sans on a project?

[small pond]

maybe

[austere hull]

does shadows even display on quest

[crystal flare]

Is there a way to disable respawning in a world

[lime ember]

not sure but if you just want to make something like you get one shot at it maybe make a /death/ area and make that the second spawn or something like that?

is there a way to get mesh colider to adhere directly to my voxels rather than just making one big blob?

currently using box colliders and finding the editor for them really annoying once you get into multiple colliders

like peep this mess

[austere hull]

where do i get font material where i can change shader

[lime ember]

when I toggle meshcollider on it just makes it all one lump sum so I gotta finnagle with the annoying cluster as far as I can tell

seesh

moving forward I might put my buildings in more parts

[left rain]

a mesh collider from that is gonna be a real shitshow

and in general you should avoid mesh colliders

separating your building into parts (within reason) is usually a good idea

[lime ember]

well now I know lol thanks

[deft geode]

why did my worlds heat go to 0 out of nowhere

[left rain]

it's a bug, happens sometimes, it'll come back

[white moon]

It means someone has reported the world with that as the reason

[small pond]

thats dumb theres nowhere to type any text or anything in my world

[white moon]

Is there text in the world? Is the name of the world weird?

Just random ideas. The report system is very inspecific

[stone marsh]

If you're positive there's no text in your world that could be seen as harassment, hateful, or nsfw. Then don't worry about it. The other tag just means someone lagged bad. Worlds can accumulate many dozens or hundreds of reports. It's always possible you had someone report you out of spite. This isn't really going to impact your world with such a low volume. If the reports continue, you should be concerned. But just a few reports is pretty meaningless

[small pond]

i have like 10 or so i think

[lime ember]

Welp there goes my plans for insult city where the skyscrapers are profanities 😮‍💨

[short gulch]

Oh damn lol. Didn't know that was a thing haha. APB maps are gonna be difficult to work around that.

[kind leaf]

when designing remember, vrc is 13+, you wouldn't let your 13 year old call someone a douchebag so don't include it lol.

ultimately it boils down to biasedness, you wouldn't let your 13 year old go to a strip club but most club worlds have a pole specifically for imitating stripping. Just like irl, whats good for the goose is not good for the gander. douchebags lol

[scenic gyro]

Yo

[cobalt prawn]

Using a non-convex mesh collider should do exactly this... But yea, not very optimized and should be avoided. I don't think a voxel model like that would be too bad though

At this point I got the door /almost/ done but now it's got too much energy being transfered so now I gotta figure out a way to slow/weight it down lol I think part of the issue is I upped spring to 10 probably too much, I got pick up to 0 which gives a nice touch to opening the door but the door also wants to immediately follow the arm/controller movements to a 'T' so idk if I should opt for an animation instead. 'd

what's fun is it's technically possible to fling yourself with the door's momentum but that's not desired ofc lol

I think my emissions level is a bit too high, my avatar became radioactive

Also, how do I make emissions Quest compatible?

[lime ember]

for the avatar just add like skin radiation burn marks near any glow fx

[analog bloom]

For the world tho

The avatar is fine

[white moon]

Just use the standard shader

You won't get the bloom on them though since post processing isn't available for quest

anyone know how to make animations more linear. Animation goes from rotation 0 -> 180 -> 360 but is slows down and speeds up on end and start of animation, is there a way to make is have a smooth transition from stop to start?

[analog bloom]

Is it a hardware limitation or not implemented yet?

[white moon]

The former. It would just make things run worse

So I doubt it'll get implemented

[mild spade]

You go into "curves" on the animation tab. Select the keyframes to be affected (or CTRL+A to select all) then right click a frame, select "Both Tangents" then select "Linear"

Looks great thanks!

UHHHHHHHHH

bro

@odd rover i do need to yell thank you

my world is gone

im so confused please someone help me

everything i just spent 10+ hours on is gone

I made sure i constantly was saving the project and stuff

[white moon]

How is it gone?
You don't see it in unity hub?
You open the project and the scene is gone or changed?
Elaborate

[fervent tinsel]

When I'm opening the project

EVERYTHING is gone

like its just a base project now with 0 of the things ive done or placed

it has never done this

@white moon

[white moon]

Check that it hasn't opened a different scene by accident

[fervent tinsel]

where do i check?

[white moon]

You should have scene file saved somewhere in your assets window down the bottom

There will be samplescene and if you have saved your scene with a different name, one with that name too

It's possible it opened an empty scene up

[fervent tinsel]

HOLY SHIT

thank god

bruh

you dont know the heart attack i almost just had

@white moon I have a second issue now tho

the VRChat SDK isnt letting me open it to build and test

the tab went away next to inspector and when i try to get it back it just gives me the options of Utilities and Udon Graph, wont let me open the panel thing

[white moon]

Oh I do. I had that happen before except somehow it was an old scene from like a week ago and was like WTF where'd all my work go XD

Took me like 15min to figure out what happened

That feeling of relief 😅

[white moon]

Have you got any errors in th console?

[fervent tinsel]

yes but its just from the protv thing
