world-development

[frigid estuary]

thank you, i know the process technically

I was just confused about whether or it only talks about a SDK3 update in general.

[kind leaf]

unless you go with cyantriggers with the patreon addon but even that doesnt cover complex shit

[frigid estuary]

yes

[quaint salmon]

I'm interested in worlds with interactive npcs

seems fun

[kind leaf]

simple scripts which has a complexity only limited to the level of interaction you need, Youtube searches for unity quests will point you in the right direction. you can us Udon but will be confused as its an interpretation of Unity's Visual Scripting which was intended only for prototyping , or you can install UdonSharp and follow along with most tutorials 1:1. There are also quest prefabs on vrcprefabs.com

[deft geode]

help

[green lagoon]

show us your console to see the error logs

[deft geode]

any problems?

[green lagoon]

looks to me that like the vrchat servers are cranky so nothing wrong you did on your end

so I might suggest waiting a while to try again

[deft geode]

alr

[deft geode]

my mesh collider on my map isnt working

i put it like it should be put but it aint workin

i think it might be a blender issue but idk how to fix

how to fix this

[bold ibex]

You might be able to slide It back into place with the arrows

[deft geode]

nope

it moves with it

[bold ibex]

Welp

[deft geode]

the colliders are also a little bigger than the actual mesh

[bold ibex]

Hmm I'm not too sure

[cobalt prawn]

Is the collider a different object than the mesh? Do you have multiple copies of the map in your project folder? Looks like either the collider is referencing the wrong mesh, or the collider is a separate object with a different scale

[nocturne crown]

is it possible to make a circular mirror? Or any work around to make it happen?

[cobalt prawn]

I think you can just grab a circular mesh and attach the VRCMirrorReflection component to it

[nocturne crown]

Ive never tried that but ill give it a go and see if anything breaks 😬

[cobalt prawn]

Which is interesting tbh, I'm surprised more worlds don't have stylized mirror shapes with special borders and such if it's that easy

Alternately you can replace the mesh in the mesh filter component of an existing mirror prefab

[frigid estuary]

[SDK3] i got .mp4 links for my world but they dont work on video players synchronized. locally they are working but only on my side (master of instance).
https://cdn2.eso.org/videos/dome_preview/The-Sun-show.mp4
I'm using TVPro. YouTube links work perfectly fine on it though.

[frigid estuary]

proTV is still playing at 720, even though i've been using both YouTube and other sources higher than that. i'm a bit desperate right now 😅

It looks so low quality I'm not even sure it's playing at 720, but rather 480, even though it says 1080 maximum resolution in the players settings

[glad palm]

Does anyone know any world creators who do commissions?

[white moon]

Go to #community-servers-old and join the VRC Traders server. They have people there for doing commissions.

[bold ibex]

Do you guys think this will work

For VRC

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/pro-radar-builder-52837

[green lagoon]

it wouldn't work if it uses any runtime scripting

so you probably couldn't have the radar actually work

[desert python]

yt will always down scale in game.
mp4s are the way to go (h.264) but as for it playing locally. can mean many things unless you hit the local button in the editor by accident at one point

[pearl plume]

anyone know how I can fix the lever so I can't pick it up?

[bold ibex]

could someone help me with this error?

[brittle stirrup]

Are crossplatform movie players privately programmed and made by the creator of the world?

[reef yacht]

it's looking for an asset on your hard drive and it isn't there

[winter meadow]

Does Anyone have a good tutorial on how to make NPC's That chase you around if your in a specific range or a field of range

[frigid estuary]

thats what the settings look like on my video player.

[desert python]

so the highest that tv will render at is 1080p, my suggestion is to try setting it to 4k and see if results get any better, what does that video youre trying to play dimensions are exactly?

fyi - bitrate can also result in different quality

[frigid estuary]

The resolution is 1024x1024, the bitrate is probably relatively high, it is about 1.15 to 1.50 MB per minute.

I remember there's some worlds that have a 4K toggle for ProTV. I think I havent found a prefab for that toggle yet if there is one. And if there is none I wonder how it works. The synchronization in those worlds always worked well for me and others.

[desert python]

thats the default protv prefab. i can’t remember the exact name but it should be included

that tv you have right there can also change to default 4k

if you want a more indepth explaination. you can probs go to the architech assets discords abd ask about

[frigid estuary]

i wish i could, theres no working link to the discord. it also seems the version where you can switch quality is a "legacy version" in the prefabs. so not sure how I will solve the problem yet. thank you for all the help!

[compact stirrup]

I'm sure I'm just overlooking something, but when I build and test the camera is at floor level and my triggercolliders don't seem to work. I can move around and I don't fall through the floor, but the scale feels way off due to how low the camera is. Anyone have an idea of what I'm missing?

It happens in VR and Forced non VR

[desert python]

the one on booth not working for you?

[desert python]

that version should be fine iirc

[torpid isle]

Is there a way i can test my world in the unity editor with out building because compiling and building my world takes a very long time

[white moon]

Google cyanemu, that lets you test in editor

Very handy

[torpid isle]

thx very useful

[covert sandal]

Does anyone here do commissions for worlds and knows how to set stage Amp and stuff up for let's say a club?

I would try and make it myself but the most I can do is an open field with trees...wich is I've heard easy...😅im still new to world making

[bold ibex]

I have a udon graph that boots your voice volume when you enter a zone, I'm at work for the next 8 hours but if no one shows you how to do it by then I'll send it to you when I get home

The people in this server showed me how to do it

[bold ibex]

I have also made a club too

I recommend trying to learn how to make your own worlds instead of doing commissions

It opens up a whole world of possibilities and things you can do when you learn how to do it

Its hard work but it pays off

[white moon]

It's a rewarding process to learn stuff imo

But if you need something quick or just don't want to learn then comissionns are fine

Or if you just want that extra quality.
Creators that have been making stuff for a long time and do it as a job just make much higher quality stuff generally

[faint geyser]

hey how can i fix this error
Assets\UdonSharp\Editor\Editors\UdonSharpGUI.cs(252,53): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UdonSharpProgramAsset' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[runic epoch]

i have an object here

that will not sync with quest builds no matter what i do

its the same object with the same values and everything

[white moon]

Syncing is based mainly on hierarchy order.
If your quest version has any extra objects or less objects than the PC one, or they are in a different order, it won't sync right

[stone marsh]

Exactly as they said above. But to also include, unity does syncing from the top down. So if you have a lot of sync objects, it's best to place them at the top of the hierarchy to help reduce issues.

Cloning the scene so you have a PC scene and a Quest scene that are identical. Then remove the components from individual game objects that don't function on quest, but ensuring absolutely that you keep the game objects exactly the same. Only removing components, not the onbjects themselves.s

[faint geyser]

hey how can i fix this error
Assets\UdonSharp\Editor\Editors\UdonSharpGUI.cs(252,53): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UdonSharpProgramAsset' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[stone marsh]

Post a screenshot of your entire console. Don't just copy and paste one error.

[faint geyser]

nvm i some how fixed it

[worldly hull]

can someone show me where to buy high quality city skyboxes?

[wild jackal]

ive been asking around to no avail so this is my last resort

I’m a beginner at world-making and I’ve been following this very helpful tutorial on yt and I legit only placed the floor and a spawn point but for some reason, the game isn’t letting me test it out? I screenshotted the whole log. I tried googling this but it seems everyone’s problems are so varried

please help ;-; i dont know what im doing wrong

[mild spade]

That error you are getting usually means there are other errors that are causing that error. You should check all the red errors on the console, not just one. Start form the top of the list.

[wild jackal]

okay

[wild jackal]

heres as much as i can fit on screen starting from the top

does this help

[mild spade]

Hmm im not sure about those errors. Try clicking "collapse" then "clear" and see which ones stays. If nothing stays then uncheck "clear on Play" then enter and exit play mode to see which one appears.

[wild jackal]

let me try that

got it

[mild spade]

Try restarting Unity and check if the problem persists. If it does, go into Window and select Package manager and search for Cinemachine and install it. Hopefully that will make the error go away.

[wild jackal]

since this is my 8th time restarting the softwear imma try installing it

ill keep u updated

omg it worked 😭

[wild jackal]

Thank you sm😭

[lethal sleet]

https://i.gyazo.com/eff4d42d3286334ea95c2ea8f78eedb2.gif

so my mirrors keep doing this, is there anything I need to be doing to make them work?

it reflects UI stuff perfectly but like nothing else

https://i.gyazo.com/8abe8607667d35cd29ca57e3aee447a7.gif

here's a video of just a plane with the VRC mirror reflection component in my world

nevermind I was just stupid lmao

[wild jackal]

F

[scarlet geyser]

Is there any way to make the mirror resolution lower than x256?

[bold ibex]

here is the udon graph

attach this to a cube with a box collider set as is trigger and you should be golden

[weary root]

I want to take a picture a certain amount of seconds after a button is pressed, and then display it on a screen :)

Is there anyone who knows of a tutorial for something like that? ^^

[upper obsidian]

From the simplest is to use
SendCustomEventDelayedSeconds and camera with render texture.

[mystic atlas]

hopefully easy solution, i added water to my world, looks good on desktop but in vr theres like this eyeball slicing glare coming from the water and idk what setting on the water material i need to change

[halcyon iron]

Hello, I am currently making a Unity Project. (My first VRC build)

Any experienced people have advice/tips I can get? (VRC related)

Planning on making a allyway as a my home world filled with useful stuff like a green screen and wholesome pictures

I also would like to know some shortcuts because building everything from scratch will take a while.

[stiff gate]

Working on a punch out world
Uploaded and published the Minor Circuit for public (I don't own the map btw, rights go to nintendo-)
Might make the other ones as well, who knows

[tropic cedar]

Is there a good way to snap picked-up objects to a grid?

[eager garnet]

Can someone please tell me how to make a chair or station in my world that overrides a persons animations to make them dance or do a specific pose? I sort of got it to work, but it won’t override the avatars position or neck and head movement.

I’ve looked and I can’t find any up to date info

[upper obsidian]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_station

[kind leaf]

you can't by intention. With Udon its possible but frowned upon because its rude to force someones camera to move. What you managed to accomplish is how far we are expected to influence an avatar.

its rude because animation usually are not vr friendly and can make ppl sick.

[stone marsh]

You don't actually move the camera, the user sits in a station and an animation plays. This is why the camera is fixed in MMD worlds where you can make your avatar dance, you're simply sitting in a station watching your avatar dance. It is possible to create the illusion of moving the view camera, but you don't actually move it, you steal it essentially, Eccentric Rooms is a good example of this, you're actually just sitting in stations but it looks like you're running around like normal, it's only noticable when you look closely at the IK of avatars or when you try and drop a portal. Most people don't realize they're not actually their avatar, rather controlling a custom animation while their actual view is being stolen as they're really just floating in space, stationary, in a station.

[eager garnet]

i love when people here answerer a question by pointing to the docs, even though the fact the question was asked was because the docs alone were not helpful enough to understand how to achieve what is wanted, as they only really contain literal explanations of what each component is and what it does in a vacuum, and not instructions on how to use it to get any given desired effect that may not even have been originally intended as a use for the component but has become common practice
(tldr: im sick of people just responding with "just read lol" instead of giving actual helpful advice)

[rain shadow]

The Eccentric Rooms world doesn't actually override the local players locomotion

The stations are just to sync remote players relative to the world as it moves around the local player

[upper obsidian]

Seated Disable and there will be only animation, it is also written in the documentation.

[rain shadow]

You can import VRCSDK3A.dll and VRCAnimatorTrackingControlEditor.cs from AVSDK3 Over SDK3Udon to get access to VRC Animator Tracking Control which you can add to the animation state

[eager garnet]

thank you

[rain shadow]

Just trying now this seems like it may not actually work with the latest SDK versions

Actually nevermind seems like it does

[stone marsh]

You can absolutely tell just by looking it does.... Especially when rotating ones avatar.

[round arrow]

My world is in the labs but when people favourite it it dose not show up that it's been favourite on the website

[rain shadow]

Just went to the world and there is no difference?

It's a mobile station locally but seated for remote players

[stone marsh]

Not what I saw when a massive group of us inspected it in detail. Unless something has changed. I'll stick to what I said as I'm more inclined to trust my personal observations until reinspection. Anyways.

[halcyon iron]

Can somebody please tell me how to upscale textures
My bricks aren't normal size and the concrete is so small you can see the pattern repeating easily

[white moon]

If you made the objects, change the UV maps. Scale them up

If you didn't you can try changing the tiling amount on the material

[halcyon iron]

Where do I find the tiling amount

I'm pretty new

[white moon]

On the material. There is an x any y value for tiling.

Can't take a screenshot of it as I'm not at home ATM

[halcyon iron]

oh i already got a fix

with trail and error

I was stuck on this for so long

[kind leaf]

linking docs is common because anyone that assists here on the regular will confirm that more that 60% of all requests for help is due to failure to follow the simple and well explained documentation for setting up your first world. That being said, the question was answered by two other people besides the link. So you can be sick of linking all you want, but we will continue to do so until the message is clear. Don't buy an Ikea desk and try setting it up without the instructions.

[kind leaf]

That doesnt sound sus at all. I don't expect the website to treat favorites and visits as critical update notifications to push. Normally you don't know who or when a favorite is made so you have no idea of knowing when its updated. Ied expect at a minimum its every 15minutes but an hour would be acceptable.

[round arrow]

No but in the website screen it shows number of favorites but it still shows 0

[kind leaf]

how long has it been since you or your friends favorited the world?

[round arrow]

12 hour

[kind leaf]

That is a bit long, unfortunately this isnt the channel to ask in, we can give you advice from experience but many mechanics are not exposed to us, and we have no idea about the website unless exposed somewhere else. Best direction for you would be to submit a support ticket in detail #vrchat-support. But a handful of favorites is not mission critical to the success of a world, and the registering of a favorite is not a #world-development issue. asking how to improve the likelihood of a favorite however would be

[bold ibex]

Does anyone know what it would take to make something like this?

I'm looking to either find a prefab or create something from scratch that would enable browsing worlds from a panel like this and then dropping a portal to whatever world that was clicked on.

Bonus if the world can be set to whichever instance type (friends+ for example) they want before dropping the portal.

Any pointers would be helpful as I am new to world creation/Unity.

[white moon]

I assume all the portals are premade and disabled, and when you click the button it enables the portal for that specific world.

[bold ibex]

That sounds right. But I'm not sure about how the rest of it would work. The scrolling and clicking aspect of the panel and if there would be a way to set the instance type before making the portal appear.

[dark trout]

Hey unity 2019.131f(close enough) i cant seem to find double sided material as an option, and i dont want to use shaders, what i do to fix one sided materials?

[upper obsidian]

The material has no options or settings.
This is the layer for the mesh and shader.

[dark trout]

uhm, so when i go to layer my mesh, it'll fix my one sided mesh?

[pearl scarab]

Anybody know why I cant move forward? I keep getting these errors when I try to use CyanEmu to test my world

[dark trout]

is it mandatory to use a shader to have double sided meshe's i ticked the box in blender as i output as fbx, but, yeah, no luck

[dry goblet]

You need a shader that can yeah. Thankfully a lot of shaders can including nice normal default ones

[odd summit]

my friend is getting this issue on a new project and we dont know what it could be. new project and new sdk. if you know please reply to this msg so i see thx

[coarse swan]

It's been a bit, wanted to check in on functionality I'm hoping exists eventually: is it possible yet to apply variables you "send" with the user on a portal, in some way another? IE if I have 3 portals in World A that point to World B, on entering World B it can tell which portal you used to get there?

Also: is it possible yet to automate compiling and pushing of worlds in command line? I have tonnes of worlds and having to compile them and push manually is killer.

IE if I make one all tweak to an asset all worlds use, do I still have to manually go through them one by one pushing those changes?

[halcyon iron]

What's the fastest way to quest optimize your world

I'm a little confused on how to optimize the world at all

[solar citrus]

helluuuu uhm is there someone online that could awnser a noob in unity some questions? xD before I buy Assets xD

[desert python]

occulsion culling, use better shaders, be low poly would be the easiest path

[desert python]

wjat kind of querie

[halcyon iron]

My world is going to be very simple its just a simplistic allyway with a green screen and stuff

Is it possible a world could be simple enough to not need to optimize

I feel like the textures could be a problem

[solar citrus]

@desert python like what kind of assets i can use and textures and making decoration or glass panels or the mirror stuff u know ^^

[desert python]

remember to bake lights and occulsion and youll be fine unless you hear issues

[desert python]

booth.pm and gumroad has a lot of assets you could use

[dawn fossil]

Is there a way to get to the sdk cantroll panel without the button on the top if the screen? I dont have an option to get in through it

[remote bobcat]

https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases try debugger

[dawn fossil]

its on but what do i do now?

[remote bobcat]

check if it gonna find flaws in your project

[dawn fossil]

I don't think it did

I'm not sure what it means

[remote bobcat]

you need to fix all errors in console

[dawn fossil]

i got no idea how to even start

[remote bobcat]

by reimporting sdk

[dawn fossil]

should i delete the foulders first?

[remote bobcat]

you can remove just sdk folder and import it again

[dawn fossil]

oh ok ill try that

it left me with this

[remote bobcat]

u have 145 errors

do you just import sdk?

or have some stuff in project

[dawn fossil]

I got so excited stuff there too

[dusk sapphire]

you installed qvpen's without installing udonsharp first

delete the qvpens folder, import udonsharp, then import qvpens

[dawn fossil]

I'll do that just a sec

[dusk sapphire]

you shouldn't have 2 vrworldtoolkit folders either

[dawn fossil]

Oh alright

It's back now,thank you both so much!!
@dusk sapphire @remote bobcat

wait-

whats this?

[dusk sapphire]

build again, udonsharp wasn't done compiling some scripts

[dawn fossil]

wait wdum?

[azure anchor]

I am trying to get this wall to be shown for players. What is the easiest way to do that?

[near escarp]

Double sided shader

[green lagoon]

or just duplicating the faces

[azure anchor]

I tried doing that but it was being wonky

[azure anchor]

This is blender. Would that still work?

[near escarp]

You can turn off backface culling in blender for that

[green lagoon]

you need to flip the normals of those duplicated faces so the wall would show up on both sides

[azure anchor]

I can try again

[azure anchor]

Would that be easier than duplicating the faces?

[green lagoon]

turning off the backface culling in blender will have no effect in unity

[eager garnet]

update: still cant get the station to override, i tried checking and unchecking the seated option and neither worked. i tried importing VRCSDK3A.dll and VRCAnimatorTrackingControlEditor.cs from AVSDK3 but it caused errors that prevented me from building to test it. Ive read the documentation a few times now but again, its not too friendly to someone slow like me. if anyone has any tips or ideas i can try that would be helpful for the next time i get the chance to work on it.

[azure anchor]

How should I duplicate them without messing it up?

[green lagoon]

you duplicate the faces and then flip the normals so you have a 2 sided object

I guess question would be would you be even having a scenario where you see both sides of the wall

as blender screenshots not quite enough context

[azure anchor]

Yes. I have a window and you can see the backside of the wall

[green lagoon]

cool

[azure anchor]

I forgot how to duplicate 🤦‍♂️

[green lagoon]

shift D

[azure anchor]

Thank you!

[leaden sphinx]

solidify modifier may help too :P

[upper obsidian]

Disable seated on the station, add any humanoid animation to the station. That's all it takes.

[eager garnet]

they just stand there

[kind leaf]

did you verify the animation type is humanoid?

[eager garnet]

maybe i should clarify just in case here, its playing the animation, but after 1 second the head stops animating and goes back to as if im just standing there, while the rest of the body attempts to continue the motion

[rain shadow]

When you imported AnimatorTrackingControl and VRCSDK3A.dll what errors did you get?

[eager garnet]

i solved the errors already, but it still doesnt fix the head

[rain shadow]

You will need to add the AnimatorTrackingControl to your animation state in the animator

And have it set to override everything as animation

[eager garnet]

yeah i did that

[rain shadow]

Can you show your animator

[rain shadow]

Which ones did you set to override

[eager garnet]

all of them

[rain shadow]

Try see if this works?

[eager garnet]

it works, thank you

[safe copper]

In the VRC Station component, does the Player Mobility value Mobile work? According to the docs, that should allow a user to move while using a station, but it does not. It doesn't appear to change anything

[kind leaf]

its intended to be used when using the station hack. Using stations to override the default controller. if you want to slide on ice you need to use this hack, or if you want to make a large robot that the player enters, or a car, this hack.

but there are no well know guides on the custom side of stations. You either wing it with w/e unity knowledge you have or check vrcprefabs.com for prefabs that fit/semi fit your needs and reverse engineer them.

vrc does have an official tutorial person now but they are slower than molasses at getting new content out

[rain shadow]

For mobile stations work you will need to have it set as mobile with disable station exit enabled and seated disabled

It also wont work if the station is a prefab as stations will always revert to their prefabbed values on build

[safe copper]

ah I see, thanks everyone

[thorny zodiac]

i made new world from scratch in blender and when i try test the world and upload world i can test it my self and keep kicking me out from world on sdk 3 how to fix that

nothing in world because plan model of work place i made just dont understand why its kicking me out from the world i made to test it

[white moon]

@thorny zodiac when you say kick out what do you mean?

[thorny zodiac]

like i just made model of my world

and i just import on my unity to use it

i model made in blender

not even finish but all area i did is finish

but when i try to test my world in unity let me publish it

but when i want go to world always kick me

i dont no why doing that and using sdk 3

[white moon]

What so you mean it kicks you

Does it crash?

Freeze? Your get thrown out of the model physically?

[thorny zodiac]

no just kick from the world it wont let u go in

[white moon]

What unity version are you using?

[thorny zodiac]

like say if u try to make world right and then u wanted to test it

and when u get in ur world and load but then kick u from world go back to ur home world

update version

[white moon]

What number? If you can copy paste or screenshot it

[thorny zodiac]

its one that everyone has use for unity

[gaunt egret]

did you make a spawn point

[white moon]

I don't think you can even upload without a scene discriptor?

The sdk complains

[gaunt egret]

yeah, i don't think you can upload without it but sometimes it doesn't put itself as the spawn for some reason

[thorny zodiac]

ya i fix that spawn sense first time using sdk 3

because what i am doing making world for sdk 3 so be first time using it

im SDK 2 person who always use sdk 2

for my worlds

but when i try to upload my sdk 3 and my world when i try get in it kicks me out and take me back to my home world

i all ready did scene discriptor

and spawn

i just said i uploaded the world and work fine when i upload it when i get inside kick me and bring me back in my home world

[white moon]

Does it run in editor if you test using cyanemu?

[thorny zodiac]

when i tried testing it by my self kick me

go to build and test

kick me same way

[white moon]

Check I'd there are any errors when you run build & test

In the console

[thorny zodiac]

so when i try build and publish right the two window keep popping up

i deleted everything and deleted world but does give me new world

can i ask u guys quest how do u u use sdk 3 because i know im doing this right but this always happenn when i try publish im take screen shoot

[white moon]

I've never had this issue. I just build and upload and it works.

You must have an error somewhere that's breaking it.

[thorny zodiac]

i use this VRCSDKWORLD

but everytime i use it and do spawn kick me form the world

unless not doing it right

i need do more then something for it?

[white moon]

Nope that's the one. Just drop it where you like and away you go.

Do you have any errors in the console?

[thorny zodiac]

ok so i got it work so i didnt no it needed to have the thing drag for spawn

make it work

so new to SDK 3

so now i got it work now only thing is cant freaken move

why

[white moon]

Oh yes you do have to actually place that prefab in your scene to be able to spawn

Having something in the asset folder won't do the job

You can't move by default in the editor.

If you want to be able to you want to download cyanemu and install that

[thorny zodiac]

so where do u need to download that cyanemu

i got in world fine now but i cant move

[gaunt egret]

i thought you used clientsim

[thorny zodiac]

like i dunno why cant move in my world is this bug on sdk 3

[gaunt egret]

put collision on your map and move the spawn a tiny bit above it

[thorny zodiac]

i have it so i can stand on the map

but some reason my friend testing this map for me can move just fine but im on vr i cant move

i can only jump

[white moon]

Ahk if they're using client sim then ignore me

I tried to install it the other day but the url in the install instructions was saying it wasn't valid 😑

[thorny zodiac]

im stuck right here in my map

cant move

i dunno why

[white moon]

You probably have a walk / run speed of 0 on your vrc world object

[thorny zodiac]

let me check

run is on 3

i mean 0

but walking on 3

[white moon]

I'm not sure how that would work. Make run something higher than walk

[thorny zodiac]

let me see

wow

wow

im so done

i did everything on three and i can finally move

thanks so much winguy

u two little tiny

[thorny zodiac]

here u guys for helping me here build half of it that i have done so far but u can see when i took beta test in the world, U want ty WInGuy for helping me with SDK 3 and this world i made that not done yet but soon be done before next month and i will have grand opening show off my world. Game dev who make games for his own game be easter egg show off his own game for his demo. So guys want see it u can add me under name Yukikami98

[rich trellis]

so im working on a world and i was wanting to have a ranking system to where i give certain users a rank and it displays above their avatars. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how i would go about doing this!

[thin shale]

Hi everybody, could you tell me if google drive is still whitelisted as a source for video links ( both pc and quest) ? i've been trying for a while by using direct share links, converting the shareable url in direct raw URL , tried putting the shortcut for the youtube-dl in front of the link etc but nothing seems to work. the file is an mp4 h 264 video file

[upper obsidian]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/www-whitelist

[thin shale]

thanks , i've reviewed the list and confirmed that <gdrive is still whitelisted, i just can't seem to find a way to make use of the urls

[upper obsidian]

Check if there is a problem with the link or the video codec is not suitable. You can watch through the console in vrchat when you start the video.

[thin shale]

i got the link from the "Get link > anyone with the link " tab, the codec is right ( h 264 was the recommended one if i m not wrong. i didn't understand the last trick you were explaining, chich console are you talking about ? you mean console tab in unity?

[upper obsidian]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/launch-options At least --enable-debug-gui

and RShift + Backtick + 3 Toggles visibility of console debug menu

[thin shale]

wow thank you 🙂 i'll ckech it right away

[lethal sleet]

is there any way to see exactly where an empty gameobject is pointing? I've been trying to setup spawns and chairs but it's so hard to guess where it's going to point without build & testing

[kind leaf]

the blue arrow if orientation is local.
you can also do the build and test once to get the orientation and then add a random object like a tiny sphere to the front of the empty as a child and set this object to be editor only in the tags. Prefab it and then you can just reuse the "empty" with a clear indicator of the front forr all your needs.

[lethal sleet]

oh awesome, that's so smart

thank you!

[grave mantle]

Mornin' y'all!
I'm making a world that has a door in it leading to an avatar room- thing is, there are two parts to said door. Is there any way to have a trigger that animates both parts of the door upon activation?

context is that one side of the door is completely transparent, so I have to have two separate objects that represent both sides of the door

[quaint viper]

A very simple solution would be to have one side animated, and simply have the other side as a child object to the animated one, so it moves with it.

[grave mantle]

Oh, see I hadn’t thought of that.

thanks

[worldly hull]

can anyone explain why these objects all have different positions but appear in the same spot?

[vague pivot]

If I had to guess it's the child objects, spheres, underneath your new game objects that are also moved

[dawn fossil]

Idk why everything I do and it gives me a pop-up saying that the world is too large for vrchat to load

Idk what's the problem

[vague pivot]

How big is the project file?

[unborn iris]

hi im not entirely sure why buy when i try to go into local testing it only loads and does nothing else. its my first time working on a world, am i missing something obvious?

[vague pivot]

Do you have cyanemu installed?

[unborn iris]

yes

[vague pivot]

I'm not sure if it's required for cyan emu however vrchat has something you need to run it

Just loading a project to double check

[unborn iris]

okok

[vague pivot]

Ah k, it's called VRCWorld

should come in with the VrChat examples assets

[unborn iris]

yeah i set that up too

its wier

[vague pivot]

yeah

[unborn iris]

i gotta restart my laptop and ill try again later

[vague pivot]

ah ok

[unborn iris]

ill message here again after building more to see if im still stuck😭 lol

thank you btw

[worldly hull]

you're right thanks :3

[vague pivot]

np

[low osprey]

Does anyone knows why it has color on it every time when I bake light but i have only DirectLight in my scene

[trim nacelle]

that's because exr compression, only way to avoid it (kinda) is to set the resolution higher, or modify the shader or texture so it uses only one channel, or setting its compression to none (that will increase the size a lot)

[azure anchor]

How big can quest worlds be again?

[green lagoon]

100mb

[bold ibex]

any ideas why this doesn't work in game but works in the game window?

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/audio/ambient/urban/dynamic-city-ambience-165710#reviews

creator said it should work in vrc

but nothing happens in game

[green lagoon]

you can't use C sharp in vrchat

[bold ibex]

i see... I don't know these things

not really sure what to about that one..

[green lagoon]

basically you can't use that sound control at all

[stone marsh]

If it gives you the raw audio files you can just use those however

[bold ibex]

It does

Just very unfortunate

Gonna see if I can try and use them but idk..

[stone marsh]

Yep. U can.

[azure anchor]

Okay good. Just double checking

[green lagoon]

so probably a good idea to use crunch compression on your textures so they don't take up as much file size

[halcyon iron]

it's pretty simple but I'm just amazed that its only been 3 days with unity and my home world is almost done

[green lagoon]

definitely a pretty decent start for 3 days

[whole shoal]

i've noticed that the video player in my world works fine on pc but does not work on quest. is there any way to fix this?

[stone marsh]

What are the video sources you're trying to play on quest?

[whole shoal]

just a simple youtube video

[stone marsh]

You can't play YouTube on quest because the quest doesn't have youtubedl

[whole shoal]

aw bruh

[halcyon iron]

how do I add text to my world. I wanna add a sign over my mirror saying don't be a degenerate
if anyone knows

[whole shoal]

do audio players for mp3 files work on quest?

[stone marsh]

If you mean just playing an MP3 on a audio source, then yes.

[whole shoal]

sweet

how do i import an audio clip into unity? for some reason when i import an mp3 file as an asset, it won't let me do anything with it. i can't apply it to an audio source.

the mp3 file works fine when i open it in the downloads folder, but for some reason in unity it says it's 0 bytes and there's no waveform at the bottom of the inspector

[swift pulsar]

Did you convert it using a janky youtube to mp3 website?

[whole shoal]

yea...... :/

[swift pulsar]

Yeah, I had that issue as well

[whole shoal]

but i dont get how it works when i play the file itself but in unity it doesnt work

[swift pulsar]

Yeah idk why it does that

It has a similar effect in Sony Vegas

[whole shoal]

soooo how do i fix it

[stone marsh]

Open it in Audacity and save as mp3

[whole shoal]

i dont have audacity

[stone marsh]

Download it

Helps to reduce it to mono to save space too. Audio can take up a chunk of space and every mb matters for quest. Hour long songs can be reduced to under 10mb pretty easy in audacity.

[swift pulsar]

By chance does anyone know what's happening here? The entrance has a glossy effect even though it's using the same material as the other walls, have generated lightmaps and is static

[whole shoal]

@stone marsh when i put the mp3 into audacity it turns into really loud abrasive static, how should i fix this

[stone marsh]

Download the audio again from a better download site. You most likely have a corrupt mp3

[spark grotto]

can i share some progress on a world that im making?

[gaunt egret]

ayy thats sick

[cobalt prawn]

Looks like the material is using reflections, and if they're separate meshes maybe only the entrance mesh renderer is set to use reflection probes?

[spark grotto]

thank you!

[cobalt prawn]

It's a separate property from metallic/smoothness btw

[vapid lotus]

is there a way to make only one person able to grab an item by account

[bold ibex]

I'd love to know that too but I have my doubts

[trim musk]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/people-who-blocked-me-should-be-visible-in-my-world

[finite hare]

Hi everyone. I have a question about making a world and I didn't know who to ask so I'll ask here.

Is it possible to make a world where the master can disable all mic/mute everyone except himself/herself? on click of a button?(So it can be turned on and off) Ideally I want to make a world for my friend who is a streamer/singer and she sings in vrchat sometimes but she often gets interrupted by random people passing by. This actually discourages her to perform in vrchat but if I could make a safe place for her and other artists to perform, I think it would be awesome

[kind leaf]

betterplayeraudio for vrchat, google. muting people that you want in your world is a shit idea tho. Your vocalist might need her safe space but no one appreciates being muted. Again, BetterPlayerAudio will be your solution to the correct setup. Audio zones where the vocalist can be in there own little sound bubble and be heard but cant hear whats going on outside.

[upper obsidian]

The VRChat Safety is enough to block everyone's microphones for the right amount of time.

[round arrow]

Hi so I Wana hide peoples name tags in my world dose any one know if there's a shader or something

[finite hare]

thank you!

[sullen fiber]

Anyone know a rain system that doesn't kill quest?

[ember vault]

heyo! I can in something way do the mirror can reflection to another mirror? I want do mirror room

[upper obsidian]

They are already displayed in each other, but most likely you need to use a custom shader to improve optimization and avoid display conflicts.

[high stirrup]

https://gyazo.com/176052dc5361c09cbf374183b17c3264 I'm sort of new to blender, and I'm trying to figure out what's causing these flipped faces after exporting. Anyone know?

[trim nacelle]

that's because of the normal orientation, on blender go to edit mode, select all the faces, click alt n and recalculate inside

also to enable backfacing on blender go to the solid viewport and on the top right extend the shader settings and enable backface culling

or also on the arrow on the right you can enable face orientation (with backface culling disabled)

[high stirrup]

Thanks a lot!! You da best!

[azure anchor]

What is the easiest way to put text in Unity?

[somber wraith]

How do you guys handle optimizing for people with quests linking to pc. I have had people on full pc vr that had specs barely above minimum system requirements and it ran fine for them, I had quest only users and it ran fine for them as well, but now 2 people with west's linked to pc joined and it ran terrible for them. (although I had a quest pc user before and it was fine for them) why is that. Is it because the quest link isn't performing well or is my world at fault

[weary root]

I'm working with an imported unityproject, but I'm having issue transforming objects. What could be the reason for this? :)

anything I select doesn't seem to move anything :/

[cobalt prawn]

What if you remove the animation from that root object? Maybe it's overriding the transform

[weary root]

hmm that didn't seem to change the result.

Thanks for wanting to help by the way ^^

[cobalt prawn]

Yea I'm not sure, I'm guessing there's some script or component hidden somewhere that's overriding control but it's hard to say without being able to poke around

[vague pivot]

If you disable the parent object does the mesh disappear?

[cobalt prawn]

Fwiw, your mesh collider is clearly referencing a different mesh than the mesh renderer, which is weird

[vague pivot]

good spot

[weary root]

it does ^^

[cobalt prawn]

Yea so regardless of the collider setup that mesh oughta be moving

[weary root]

I'll try to use a tool to remove all scripts

since that is not the part I'm interested in about the world, and VRC wouldn't allow that anyways

hmm... didn't change the situation.

gameobjects do toggle, but changing their transform is not possible :/

there's definitely some weird setting-up that happened here

[azure anchor]

I am trying to add text to my world but it keeps making a text underneath prefab from a different object. How do I fix this?

[bold ibex]

How do I apply mesh colliders

I’ve seen so many videos but non cover the problem I’m having

[cobalt prawn]

Add component > mesh collider (do this on the same object that has the mesh filter/mesh renderer). What's the problem you're having?

[cobalt prawn]

Are any of your root objects' scale set to 0 maybe?

[bold ibex]

1 second I will send a picture to help describe what I’m talking about

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah, you need to put a mesh collider on the same object as the mesh

Also, you can use the windows snip tool (windows + shift + S) to quickly take screenshots which you can easily crop and copy/paste into discord 🙂

[bold ibex]

see it has like 400 meshs

so do i do that with each one?

[cobalt prawn]

No no

That mesh collider you have, it's currently on an empty object in your scene hierarchy and thus does not know what shape to make itself into. You want to find the object in your scene which has the mesh filter and mesh renderer components you want to add the collider to, then add the mesh collider component to that object. It's likely a child object of the empty object you have selected

Hope that makes sense

[graceful igloo]

Is anybody not working on a project rn?

[vague pivot]

Any reason?

[graceful igloo]

Just looking for someone to answer a few questions and potentially work with me to make a world

[vague pivot]

oh ok

[graceful igloo]

I just have a few questions on the limitations of the platform and stuff

[vague pivot]

I could try answer them, by platform do you mean unity or vrchat or both?

[gaunt egret]

ask your questions, dont ask to ask

[graceful igloo]

More vr chat but possibly both

So I was asking a few of these in general but I also have a few more

Is there a detail/size limit or is it just better practice to keep the scale down for lag?

Like I know in rr there’s ink. Is there a similar cap in vrc?

[gaunt egret]

quest world is 100mb

[vague pivot]

In terms of object size unity does have a limit however you'd be doing something wrong if you hit it

it's huge

[gaunt egret]

learning how to optimize is a good skill, but for quest the world size limit is 100mb

you should always have good practices like texture atlasing and joining meshes

[graceful igloo]

What are the most common types of interactable worlds? Like I’ve seen test pilot and other vehicle worlds but what are some other types

[vague pivot]

I'd say most common one's I've seen are game worlds, like truth or dare, spin the bottle and other party games like that

But in terms of interactivity it usually depends on what the map maker puts in

[graceful igloo]

Can I make it so there is only ever one instance of a world? So in other words you’d be around everyone that is currently in that world with no division.

[vague pivot]

I don't think so, whenever a world is published from the Unity editor there isn't any option to make it exclusive and every world I've been in has allowed me to create a clone of it.

[gaunt egret]

if you upload the world privately, only you can invite people to that world. you can't control the amount of instances a world has

[graceful igloo]

Can I prevent others from formulating invites?

[vague pivot]

To your instance yes, by making it private, but not to all instances

[gaunt egret]

^

heres kevbal to spit out a paragraph for u lol

[kind leaf]

Instance type > Invite means only you can invite others. Invite + means you or your friends can invite.

[graceful igloo]

Ok

And can I make it so several people have the power to invite?

[kind leaf]

Specific people? Only if you do friends+ and setup your friends list to only include people you want. Bit of a hassle, not worth it

[graceful igloo]

Ok

Well thank you guys so much for the help

I may be back later with more questions but I’m all out rn

[weary root]

some of them are set to "-1"

but changing those to a different value, like 1, has the same not-being-able-to-transform issue

[bold ibex]

So, I assume there is a tradeoff between having lots of separate pieces of mesh and having occlusion culling setup properly, vs having them combined to reduce draw calls, but are there any rough guidelines as to how many separate materials and submeshes will start to become an issue?

I know this isn't very easy to answer, nor is there really one answer, but any sort of guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Where I'm at right now, but a lot of stuff is still to be combined.

[ruby jay]

what matters are the unity stats in play mode

it really depends on the scene, try not to exceed like 200 batches.. and that can be fairly lot

[bold ibex]

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.

If you had said 20

lol

Yay, lots of atlasing ahead of me

[cobalt prawn]

Here are the official Oculus recommendations regarding Quest draw calls. This is pretty much what I use as reference when I'm looking at batching and instancing and all that jazz

[bold ibex]

Saved

Thank you

[cobalt prawn]

If you're only doing PC though, I'm not sure- I feel like all these numbers might as well be 100x lol

[bold ibex]

If I shoot for quest numbers as close as possible, I'll never make something that runs like crap in PC is the hope, lol

[cobalt prawn]

Definitely 👍

[halcyon iron]

why does my world not have windows support

i made a new update and now its quest only

nvm

[vapid lotus]

[versed plover]

how to i export keyframed animations from blender to unity, its just a animation on some cubes no armatures

[trim nacelle]

on unity, there should appear an arrow next to the blender file, expand it and there should appear an animation, select it and click ctrl d to duplicate it as an editable animation

[versed plover]

got that, it shows up in unity, but when i try and preview it it just cycles really fast through one frame and dosent show the other 99 frames?

[trim nacelle]

so is it one frame only?

[versed plover]

ill send videos that'll probably be easier to explain

[lean condor]

Can someone help me upload a world

[versed plover]

got it to recodnize the 100 frames but nothing happes in the preview tab for the animation

[trim nacelle]

try adding an animator on the root of the model with the animation as the default block

[faint geyser]

what is the asset the if you are far enough you will not see the room like in this world

https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_1b482eca-bede-4de8-88a8-bbb6ca7e24cd

[kind leaf]

Ugh, not normally done with an asset lol. You can set up an occlusion wall or reduce your max distance on your reference camera. The 1k view distance default for the camera is a waste for interior builds.

[faint geyser]

oh

[kind leaf]

if you use real time lighting you can also opt for LOD groups.

[faint geyser]

is there a video for it

[kind leaf]

for what?

[faint geyser]

this

[kind leaf]

for what method i meant... Occlusion walls, no not really. View distance is self explanatory, just inspect your reference camera and lower the distance to whatever is required to fit the largest room, and just place your other rooms that much further away. For LOD Grouping just youtube search Unity LOD Group

[faint geyser]

im making mutapl room and i want to make it s players cant see the other room

oh

[kind leaf]

I use the 2nd method using the reference camera

[faint geyser]

am I supposed to have a camera in the world already

[kind leaf]

all worlds come with one.

[faint geyser]

nvm im dum lol

[kind leaf]

are you using the vrcworld prefab as well?

the thing with the scene descriptor n stuff

[faint geyser]

thx for your help

ya

[kind leaf]

make sure the scene camera is referenced in the scene descriptor or nothing you change on the camera will be applied in game

[faint geyser]

ok

[bold ibex]

cant find vrcscene descriptor if that’s what’s i need for a world😭😭

[kind leaf]

its a component... or just use the VRCWorld prefab

[sonic goblet]

I can't access the control panel, what do I do?

[outer onyx]

Need help or a point to right direction. Anyone know how to make a surface slide-able like on ice when player steps on it? I tried the material physics, but only info I get is to use c sharp codes with it. thanks~

[stone marsh]

What version of unity are you using?

[stone marsh]

Post a screenshot of your console in it's entirety. You only need to show red stop sign errors. You can hide the yellow triangles and info blurbs in the top right corner of the console.

[grave pagoda]

I've been trying to make a world gimmick where a projector shader only affects the the player models in the mirror, like the mirrored model is the only way you could see the projector effect, but it's been bothering me, as nothing seems to be working. I've tried culling main cameras in unity, and trying to set layers around to ignore the player's view. It doesn't quite work as expected. No matter what I've done, it's always shown up on the person's camera

[trim nacelle]

Are you using an actual projector or that decal shader that ppl use for the (annoyingly) popular butter avatar?
And do you mean that you want the shader to only render on the mirror reflection?

[woven frigate]

There anyone selling a working grill prefab

Making a camp world and want a grill that works

[grave pagoda]

An actual projector.
Yes, just the mirror reflection, while not being visible to the player pov outside of the reflection

[trim nacelle]

Ok imma send the line you have to put on your shader one min

bool mirror = unity_CameraProjection[2][0] != 0.0 || unity_CameraProjection[2][1] != 0.0;
this bool returns true on the mirror and false if not iirc

[grave pagoda]

Oh! Thank you! I'll test it out when I get back to my pc!

[trim nacelle]

ye welcomee
now that i think about it, since it's for a world, i think you could also mask it on a layer called mirror reflection or something, bu ti'm not 100% sure of this one

[somber wraith]

this question is less technical. how would you guys go about promoting your world to let it stay relevant. my world made it out of the labs today morning and it had an initial visitor rush on it and expectantly, it died down rather quick. i want my world to stay used tho. what would be the methods to get it out there the most

[kind leaf]

#shameless-self-promotion and twitter, but if you dont have a reason for word of mouth promotion then no amount of self promotion matters.

[scenic kraken]

Make sure to have a good looking thumbnail, not just a screenshot of the world, make sure your world performs well and is polished well (depending on the world this could be different things, like having good lighting or having good looking menus), this increases the chance people will favorite your world and show it to their friends

If you have a game or avatar world don't forget to add the "game" or "avatars" tag to make it appear in the games/avatars section

You can also for a temporarly player count boost update the world so it appears in "updated recently". VRChat is kinda glitchy with it so it doesn't always register, so sometimes you have to update multiple times before it appears there. Updating your world's description on the site also counts as an update

VRChat's world discovery is kinda bad, so you pretty much have to rely on other people and the updated recently tab to get players, aside from posting it on social media which obviously lets more people know about your world

If your world gets really popular it might appear in the "hot" tab, that's where you'll get lots of players. You get in the hot tab by getting heat, which you get from people visiting, favoriting and the amount of time they spend in your world. This is why most worlds either have no one playing it or hunderds of people playing them.
Heat resets every 2 weeks, but if you get far enough in the hot tab you'll probably have enough favorites to get there again which is why you always see the same few worlds on the top

[somber wraith]

oh yeah, itotally forgot you can edit the description with the webpage. do you know what the Youtube Preview Id is for?

[scenic kraken]

On the site you can embed a youtube video as a world trailer

but it can't be seen in-game

only on the site

[somber wraith]

ah, neat since i made one anyway

weird, cant update the description. alwayss gives out an error sign

yo whenever I try to build and test my world it loads and then sends me back and doesnt launch vrchat, and idk why

[upper obsidian]

Check if the path is specified in the sdk settings to vchat.exe, and check the console, there are all build errors if any.

[barren pivot]

help please

i'm just trying to get my VRCworldSDK window to pop back up

i'm a noob with unity

[long copper]

pls help, my unity just plays the windows audio whenever I try to publish my world, im also a noob with unity lol

[grave pagoda]

And testing worked out! That's what I ended up doing, so I can cast and cull on that layer, which made it much easier for the mirrors

[trim nacelle]

perfect then :0

[stone marsh]

Hope none of those high poly meshes have mesh colliders lol

[trim nacelle]

yes plz

[tidal bear]

Doesnt seem that bad

hahahaa

We'll see

[trim nacelle]

ewe

[stone marsh]

As long as you don't have mesh colliders on em lol

[tidal bear]

i know

[trim nacelle]

well anyways remember that you can select edge loops and dissolve them with ctrl x

[tidal bear]

maybe ill just add two simple box colliders

also

all the textures are 4K quality

[vague pivot]

You could probably get away with lower res textures in some areas

If it runs well on your target platform, then I wouldn't bother trying to lower them as it looks very nice rn

[tidal bear]

i know i know

ive done worlds before

[vague pivot]

ah sorry for being patronising

[tidal bear]

im trying to make this as realistic as possible

no worries

ofc ill downscale everything if needed for quest

[vague pivot]

Could I ask, did you make the building in blender like you did with the props or did you use probuilder?

[tidal bear]

all from scratch

in blender

used references using pinterest

[vague pivot]

oh nice, gonna say it looks really good

[tidal bear]

Thank you

[vague pivot]

Pintrest is a godsend for reference images haha

[tidal bear]

yeye

found out not too long ago

[vague pivot]

Do you know how long you spent on that world or have you been working on it every now and then?

[tidal bear]

for quite a while

hmmm

Hold on

I dont know the dates

but what I can say is that this has been worked on for a few months now

like a month? excluding all the breaks ive taken off from this

[vague pivot]

oh nice, the time's defo paying off.

Can the post process ( for PC ) be applied only to the world, and not affecting the avatars ?

[frigid yew]

Anyone know why VRC_Pickup wouldn't be showing up as a component?

I'm just trying to add it to a sphere

If I try to drag the script in manually it says this

[iron glacier]

pickups are only available for worlds in the udon sdk. you have the vrc avatar descriptor so I assume you are using the avatar sdk. If you have both sdk's in one project, try making a new project with only the world sdk

[frigid yew]

Ahhh my bad, thanks!

[long copper]

does anybody know why my unity crashes whenever I try to build and test?

[kind leaf]

dataoffset means you are out of space.

[long copper]

so does that mean I have to high res stuff?

[kind leaf]

it means ur hd is full, or too full to build

[long copper]

ok

can I change the location of it somehow

[high stirrup]

My Unity Hub doesn't open projects and I can't open them through the files. What can I do?

Is it against tos to hide name plates in game worlds like in the lobby they will be there but once in the game map I want them to be hidden cus with the big friend icon I can see them from far away

And it makes it unfair

I know murder 4 dose it when the lights are off

[long copper]

how do i make my world quest compatible

[round arrow]

Swap the platform in the build settings and change the shaders and world to be okay on the quest also test it on the quest if U don't have a quest I'll test the frame rate for you

[long copper]

the switch build target to android option?

[bold ibex]

If anyone sees this and they are a game developer I have a great game idea! Dm me if interested

[green lagoon]

yes

[long copper]

when I select that option nothing happenms

[round arrow]

U need to download the Android Unity extensions

[long copper]

where do I get the extentions

[green lagoon]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/cross-platform-setup#setting-up-for-quest

[somber wraith]

i set up some post processing for mypc world. however, the bloom also affects the avatars which is a problem for very white avatars. i still want to keep the bloom in the world, is there anyway to do that without it messing with avatars?

[green lagoon]

not really because post-processing just works with the final image so there's no way to separate avatars

so you'd probably want to play with your settings so it doesn't go overboard on white

https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/SCSS/-/wikis/Other/Post-Processing

[round arrow]

@green lagoon could you answer my question?

[round arrow]

This ^

[gaunt egret]

it is against tos

[round arrow]

But murder dose it

And

Observer

[green lagoon]

it possible for both of those to be breaking the rules

[gaunt egret]

ok?

someone can still do something and its against tos

doesnt mean you should

[round arrow]

Well it hasn't been taken down so how is that far jar can break tos

[gaunt egret]

it probably doesn't get reported? who knows man

[round arrow]

Maybe it's just for avatars I might ask support

Vrchat world's uses to have it as well back in the day but it might of changed

It's fine I'll work out how to do it could do something like prom hunt how the avatars and name tags go into the ground

[gaunt egret]

dont be shocked if you can't find much if any information on it lol

or if your world gets taken down

[round arrow]

I don't think it would I think it's more for intrusive avatars and world's completely removing name tags name tags are in the lobby just not in the game map when playing

[glacial panther]

Anyone seen this issue before? I've added 2 pedestals but their image is greyed out

They work properly when i go and click them, so its not like i did it any differently than the pedestals besides it

and the avatar has a proper picture too, and is public

[tiny river]

Does anyone know a world where you can touch other players and you can grab them and pull them around like the skyrim vr phisics mod?

[scenic trout]

im trying to make a model do an animation in my world can someone help

[azure anchor]

My object is green/orange in Blender and I know if I export it, it will be messed up. How do I fix this?

[versed plover]

99% sure that means there’s key frames on it, did you mean to add key frames for animations to your object?

[azure anchor]

There is no animations what's so ever

I don't even know what this is so I must of accidently did something

[versed plover]

Do you see an animation tab at the bottom of your screen when you click on the object in question

Or like a timeline

[azure anchor]

Yea I do

What the hec

[next fern]

My world refuses to upload correctly. It works on build and test, works on build & publish, but clicking the actual upload button does not work

What do I do?

[azure anchor]

How do I remove this?

[azure anchor]

Like when you click it, doesn't do anything?

[next fern]

yes

[versed plover]

If you see the animation/timeline tab at the bottom, there might be small yellow diamonds, do you see thoes

Like small yellow diamonds in the timeline

[azure anchor]

You made sure to click everything that needs to be checked?

[azure anchor]

I do

[next fern]

yes

[versed plover]

Click on them and delete them, thoes are key frames for an animation

[glacial panther]

update on this

left it simmering during the night and that seems to have fixed it

probably some vrchat cdn / cache nonsense

[versed plover]

Realistically it probably wont mess up anything if you just leave it but just so you know what it is

[azure anchor]

Thank you so much. It's just moves on me where I don't want them lol

[versed plover]

Yeah, you probably accidentally hit the i key which adds key frames

And subsequently turns thoes values orange/green

[somber wraith]

i have models with animations in my world, what do you need?

[scenic trout]

its fine i figured it out

i forgot to rig the model 🤣

[next fern]

anyone know how to fix this?

[vague pivot]

Did you agree to the T&Cs on the upload screen?

[next fern]

yes

I've made worlds before, never had this issue

[somber wraith]

wait, is there a new world sdk? mine looks different

[next fern]

maybe? but I downloaded and updated it yesterday

and I don't see why it'd let me test it if it won't upload

[somber wraith]

so if you click on upload nothign happens? maybe an error occured while oyu were updating the sdk and now its broken

[next fern]

yes and maybe? it says nothing to import

[somber wraith]

is your world assets in the same hierachy than your world descriptor?

[next fern]

only error I have but I don't know what it means

yes

[next fern]

I don't understand

[pale marlin]

how do I fix the desync issue between quest and pc regarding chairs and globally synced toggleables?
It's really important for the purpose of this world that I'm able to fix this issue

[desert python]

you need your hierarchies between the quest scene and pc scene to be the same

[zinc sonnet]

Hey, anyone know where I could find the VRCBillards Prefab with the interactive buttons?
After quite a bit of digging, I'm gonna assume that it got lost in a closed git...

[pale marlin]

they should be the same, though...

It only desyncs things that are labelled the same name with different numbers at the end

[desert python]

right

[pale marlin]

yeah the hierarches are the same, I just checked. And I was wrong. It did desync one thing that was labelled completely differently

are disabled objects excluded from the hierarchy?

[desert python]

no. whatever is in that hierarchy will be there no matter disabled

[uneven bane]

i added a billiard to my world but the view while playing is over the roof so cant see the table, is it possible to move it a bit down?

[pale marlin]

Then how do I fix it?

[desert python]

assuming its an object and has object sync?

cus the best that i can say is that hierarchies must be the same or they will not be able to cross talk between pc and quest

[sweet stone]

whenever i import the world sdk into unity, it prompts me the choice to have unity's api updater to update them, should i update them?

[pale marlin]

ahh okay. So they all need object sync? They're not pickups, but they are supposed to be synced between quest and pc. They're seats and text that are disabled and enabled between canvasses

[desert python]

possible, i havent messed with that table in a while but im sure theres a camera inside its hierarchy that you can edit to move or clip away the roof

[uneven bane]

i m gonna check, it should be easy to fix

[desert python]

oh, then it wouldnt br object sync youd want then

it would be scripting and hierarchies at that point

[pale marlin]

How would scripting be involved between quest and pc?

[desert python]

if its networked

[uneven bane]

aah the camera was invisible sorry for interrupting here thanks @desert python i remember you btw

[pale marlin]

it uses synced variables and changes them and then pushes the change to all people

also, the chairs don't have any excess scripting in them other than a script I got from booth that autoadjusts your height on the seat to the height of your avatar

[desert python]

ok then hierRchy is the final thing again

[pale marlin]

But I don’t see any differences in hierarchy between quest and pc except for certain things being disabled

[desert python]

then id check again cus I don’t know what else would be issue

[pale marlin]

Does the hierarchy include variables in udon scripting?

I figured it out!! Apparently, everything that’s enabled on pc have to be enabled on quest

[zinc sonnet]

Sorry to ask this question again, but it kinda got lost in the previous discussion.
I am trying to track down the billiards prefab with the interactive button menu.
It would be great if anyone could tell me where to look for it

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/VRCBilliards/vrcbce

[broken jackal]

Im working on TWD's Alexandria, So far i have modeled the whole Monroe's house (doesnt have textures yet so that why it looks so weirdly colored)

[zinc sonnet]

I guess that's the only one left out there...
They sadly don't have a prefab with the menu I was looking for,
but thank you anyways!

[green lagoon]

I suppose you could modify yourself to use the physics buttons

[zinc sonnet]

Yeah, I guess there's no other way left.
It seems the existing one is lost from the internet after Xierxe removed their Repo from git...
Only way I could explain this...

[valid urchin]

To those who are fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender world, Any suggestions on the update? I'm thingking of remodeling it completely when transitioning to Udon, or just filling in the empty space

[long copper]

Hey when I switched my build target to android to make it compatible it took away my pc compatibility

how do I get both

[white moon]

You build and publish for one, then switch and build and publish for the other

[long copper]

likie two diferent world?

[long copper]

would they join together If I did that

[green lagoon]

yes as they would both have the same build ID

[white moon]

No the same world. You just change the build target and reupload it

[long copper]

oh ok

[white moon]

And preferably you want to change most of the materials to a quest shader for the quest version

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/JordoVR/EasyQuestSwitch

[spark crater]

Can the post process ( for PC ) be applied only to the world, and not affecting the avatars ?

[white moon]

Yea I've never seen that either. I didn't think there is a new sdk?

[next fern]

I think I figured it out, testing

yep, I had the pipeline manager somehow attached to something random

would never have known

[bold ibex]

hey so im making my first world and im tryna upload it but i cant because vrchat sdk says "reload sdk"

[green lagoon]

that is not possible because the post-processing doesn't have any way to differentiate as it only has the final image to work with

[bold ibex]

how do i fix it

[spark crater]

might a material be affecting all layers but the player ?

[bold ibex]

can someone help me

[main pendant]

how get this

[versed plover]

Drag the vrcworld prefab in the vrcexamples folder into the world

[main pendant]

😦

[main pendant]

where can i get the vrcworld prefab

these?

[versed plover]

Left one

[main pendant]

this one

[versed plover]

Drag it into the world anywhere dosent matter where

Yes

[main pendant]

tysm

im gonna test my world out

[versed plover]

👍🏼

[main pendant]

music isnt working

im gonna have to update it

how do i put my mp3 file in the audio clip place?

[somber wraith]

import it into your project and drag it in

[main pendant]

where in my project?

is it file

[main pendant]

yo dude i cant drag my mp3 file in here, what do i need to do?

[versed plover]

You just need to put the mp3 into the assets tab on the bottom, then yes you can and it’ll play on load

[main pendant]

so

let me try it

its still not playing

making worlds is easier than making avatars

not gonna lie

[gaunt egret]

show the whole inspector for your audio source

[main pendant]

let me try\

this good?

[gaunt egret]

o lol

click play on awake

[main pendant]

bruuuuh

lemme try

[main pendant]

tysm

[pulsar crow]

Does anyone know why my reflection probes are rotated?

The reflections show properly if I rotate the "mirror" 45d

[peak whale]

Are you talking about this repo? https://github.com/kahayes14/VRCBilliards

[bold ibex]

hmm i know i wanna eventually learn how to make a world in udon (maybe) but is it possible to still make worlds without udon and not sdk3?

[green lagoon]

SDK 2 is deprecated and eventually will unable to be uploaded

so you'll pretty much have to use SDK 3

[pulsar crow]

SDK2 still exists, but highly discouraged from using as content using SDK2 might not work at any given time possibly without warning

[green lagoon]

https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanTrigger this tool basically lets you use SDK 2 style triggers

[bold ibex]

oh? thatll be very helpful because i get so confused with udon

[green lagoon]

and you don't exactly need to know how udon Works to use other people's udon Scripts

[bold ibex]

im sure id need to know things if something goes wrong that i have no idea why or some set ups for things are really complicated are they not?

[green lagoon]

I bumped into plenty that's pretty much just dragged prefab into map your done like people's various mirrors and interactive games

[bold ibex]

i guess what im wanting to do is add audio and toggling mirrors but also toggling certain other things, but not anything too fancy or complicated

just things being turned on and off

[green lagoon]

the vrchat prefab database should have pre-made versions of those

[robust otter]

Ive tried 2 different Video players and im getting the same error for both. Im not exactly sure what the problem is and I am using the latest SDK and Udon Sharp. and the latest Video Player

and im getting a bunch of errors with Udon Sharp as well but i wasnt exactly sure which channel to use for it

[stone marsh]

Post a screenshot of your actual console

[harsh wagon]

How would I go about making a world infinite? Nothing too crazy, just a flat plane forever with some props spawned randomly

[robust otter]

Theres alot of other errors as well

[white moon]

There's nothing wrong with the tv. Something mor fundamental is broken in your project which is meaning it can't compile.
What is the very first errors in the console? What that first pic at the top?

If possible I'd just say start a new project and make sure to I port everything in order and stop as soon as you get the first error

[robust otter]

Well I dont have errors happen until i import the video players

thats exactly what I did. even the QV Pens worked perfectly fine. as soon as i imported the Video players thats when i get the Udon errors

[white moon]

It builds and plays fine without the video player?

[robust otter]

yep

once i import the video player it breaks everything in my project so then i do have to start over completely

[white moon]

Have you tried a different player instead of the architech one?

Like the U# player

[robust otter]

the what? The first video player i used was Wolfe's but even he is unsure of the problem. Then i used ProTv and it gives me the same thing

[white moon]

https://github.com/MerlinVR/USharpVideo

That one

[robust otter]

I have not tried that one.

[white moon]

You shouldn't have to restart if it's just the player breaking things though. You should just have to delete the folder from the player that gets installed and it should work again

[robust otter]

i do and then nothing works. like i delete the video player folder and my qv pens and anything else using Udon or Udon Sharp doesnt work anymore

[delicate quest]

I just uploaded the world but I had the option to select community labs which I did because I thought it would get more engagement etc. I never uploaded the world but I am a trusted user if I didn’t select community labs wouldn’t it have automatically went in to. Community labs since it was my first world?

[robust otter]

When you upload a world it just uploads it as a private world. not a public one. so no one would see it unless its in community labs and then hopefully itll become a public world

[white moon]

What errors remain after the video player is removed?

Sounds like the import is just triggering a hidden issue somewhere

[robust otter]

Just the same ones where things cant be found but when i close the project and re open it, this is what i get

Even when i reimport Udon or Udon Sharp it doesnt fix anything. and if i try re importing the SDK or anything still nothing

and my SDK is broken

[white moon]

Are you using thr download version of the sdk or the new one from the git?

[robust otter]

Im using the one you get from the VRChat website

[white moon]

I'm assuming you got the correct version of unity?

[robust otter]

yes.

2019.4.31f1

[white moon]

That is weird. I'm not sure then.

[robust otter]

yee i dont know either

[white moon]

Maybe try out the new git version of the sdk see if it still does the same thing

[robust otter]

Alright

Where can i find that?

[white moon]

Copied from a post how to do it elsewhere:

If you are using the old method of SDK importing (like for existing projects), you can import the latest U# 1.0 beta release from merlin's discord.

If you are using (or want to use) the new package managed format (introduced in the JokeJam world jam kit), you need to follow these steps (based on my research, not official):
Make sure git is installed (or at least available in the PATH) on your local machine (git-scm.com).

Make a new project (not required, but highly recommended).

Add these packages to your project manifest "Packages/manifest.json":
"com.vrchat.base": "https://github.com/vrchat/packages.git?path=/packages/com.vrchat.base",
"com.vrchat.worlds": "https://github.com/vrchat/packages.git?path=/packages/com.vrchat.worlds",
"com.vrchat.udonsharp": "https://github.com/vrchat-community/UdonSharp.git?path=/Packages/com.vrchat.UdonSharp#1.0.0",
"com.vrchat.clientsim": "https://github.com/vrchat-community/ClientSim.git?path=/Packages/com.vrchat.ClientSim#1.1.3",

NOTE: The # terms specify which tag or branch to use.
Please double check the respective repositories for the latest branch or tag that you may want to use, as they may change in the future.

Refocus unity, wait for loading to finish. Save, close and reopen project.

Open “VRChat SDK > Reload Plugins” in menu, just for good measure.

Add "/Packages/VRChat SDK - Worlds/Runtime/Required/Prefabs/VRCWorld" to the scene

Double check SceneDescriptor/VRCWorld you just added to make sure there is a valid spawn element present, add one if not.

Open "VRChat SDK > Utilities > ClientSim" and activate each button.

Open "VRChat SDK > Show Control Panel", login, go to builder script and activate each the layers and collision matrix buttons.

Save and restart Unity for good measure..

NOTE: Do NOT mix the old and new methods of SDK importing. That will very likely cause issues.

Although out can add it to the project through the package manager, not the manifest

[white moon]

There must be a better install instructions somewhere XD

[kind leaf]

yeah when all the udon script get flagged as missing/failed to compile when inspected in the inspector as shown in the screenshot, all you need to do is reimport the DLL files Project>VRCSDK>Plugins>Select all>Reimport. It's actual a common hiccup when unity has another issue with a different script failing to compile.

[robust otter]

Ive tried reimporting the DLL files and it still didnt work. I did that like 3 times

[delicate quest]

It became public! :)

[robust otter]

yayyy!! Congratss!!

[copper compass]

is there a way to remove a quest version of a world other than privating the existing and just uploading on a new ID?

[robust otter]

If i make a world in the community labs, how long until i can see it in the community labs by searching it? because i see the world in the community labs list on the main world page but i cant actually look it up

[delicate quest]

It appears instantly

Also idk about searching it unless you do it on the website or your profile

I don’t completely know since it’s not “Public” it’s open to friends and community labs

[robust otter]

Ive tried and i cant find it unless i like find it from my "Mine" list. Or if i send a link to it from the site

[delicate quest]

Check unity

[delicate quest]

What’s your vrc name? If you don’t mind me asking?

[robust otter]

Its the same as my discord but i dont have it under my name since i made it for a friend so its under her account.

[delicate quest]

Ah

I can try to see if it’s on her profile

Click mange worlds in unity

[robust otter]

Okay

[delicate quest]

Found it? @robust otter

[robust otter]

Sorry was updating it Where do i find that?

[delicate quest]

It should pop up after you published or change some thing about it

It’s just going to open the world on the VR chat website

Log in on the website and then click worlds> mine

The account it was uploaded to

[robust otter]

right. So i see it there in the website

[delicate quest]

Make sure it’s in labs and not private

What’s the name of the world？

[robust otter]

Amani's Comfy Cove

its in labs

[delicate quest]

Okay

Great!

[robust otter]

yeah but the only way for me to find it is if i go through the labs list on the main page. I cant find it by looking it up or anywhere/ any way else

[delicate quest]

Yeah because it’s not public yet

It was doing well earlier it will be public in one time

Just hang out in public instances

[robust otter]

okee

[graceful radish]

sdk is fucked

yay

[graceful radish]

^

[bold ibex]

I have a question, iv wondered this for awhile now. Sometikes i come into a world that has copyrighted music, and i wanted to know, how the process works for that. Are they just adding copy righted music and not caring about the consequences or can you add any music as long as you give credit?

For me i have always used copy right free music

[trim nacelle]

Perhaps it's not taken down till they catch you and notice vrchat about this or they don't take it as a copyright infringement, or maybe it is playing on a video player, meaning it's playing from a source of theirs, meaning there's no copyright infringement

Take in mind they can still take down your content if it infringes their copyright
Someone was once complaining about their vrchat world being taken down because of copyright (cuz they ripped an entire boneworks scene)
So ye you don't need to fear music copyright if it's playing on a video player afaik

[wild knoll]

how do you stop doing in this like flat mode i cant rotate my camera and its like a 2d scene ??

[remote bobcat]

u have 2d turned on below scene tab

[vague pivot]

hotkey is "2" in case you do it again

[wild knoll]

THANK YOU

[delicate hill]

I just want to ask - what exactly exists in the realm of Twitch integration into VRChat thus far that's accessible? A big one would be to somehow have a Twitch Chat linked in my upcoming streaming-studio world, maybe even on a little grabbable tablet. It'd be amazing for streaming and content creation. Personally I think it'd be awesome to have stream be able to see they're part of it - but as far as I'm currently aware, the only way is to have something integrated into my own VR HUD. I'm aware of that stuff. I more mean ways of displaying Twitch/Twitch Chat within a world.

[white moon]

You'd have to stream the twitch chat from a PC via a video stream to a stream in-game which you could put on the tablet or something like that.

[unique radish]

@white moon do you know if phys bones are allowed in worlds I havent tried

[near escarp]

It's planned in the future

[white moon]

^ not yet. Is planned as ruuubick said.

[main pendant]

how do i update my world?

[vague pivot]

Like upload to vrchat or from sdk2 to 3?

[main pendant]

its sdk3

[vague pivot]

so you just want to upload it again?

[main pendant]

no?

i wanna update it

[vague pivot]

In what way?

[main pendant]

wdym?

im new to unity and world making

[vague pivot]

"update" could mean quite a few things

[main pendant]

i mean like update the world

add new things

[vague pivot]

aaaah right

So are you looking for inspiration on what to do with it?

[main pendant]

yeah iguess

[vague pivot]

Your world got a specific theme?

[main pendant]

FLOPPA

thgats the theme

thats*

[vague pivot]

Have you got 2 floppas?

[main pendant]

yup

[vague pivot]

add another

[main pendant]

i did

[vague pivot]

then

add another on top of that

refer to my previous 3 comments for more instructions

[main pendant]

il rlly confused

im*

[vague pivot]

"updating" your world is sort of a creative thing if you just want to add to it

there's not really a fixed way of doing it

You could make more 3d assets in blender then bring them into unity

[delicate hill]

Thanki! Also, ohhai Mod

I haven't seen you in a while x3

[white moon]

Indeed!
I'd recommend you check out vrcdn or you want a way to stream to the screen outside of twitch. I use it for dj streams and it's really good.

[bold ibex]

anyone got an idea about depth buffers? I got an issue where objects behind a mirror are rendered through it and i can't figure out what's causing it since the mirror is set to not render the depth buffer and the fog in my world in general.

works perfectly fine when i turn the fog off but there must be a way to get it fixed since my friend uses the same method and it works perfectly fine for him lol

he's also clueless why it doesn't work in my world

[delicate hill]

VRCDN? :O.

[white moon]

https://vrcdn.live/
It's a content streaming system, like twitch but the streams aren't on any public website. Its designed for streaming to vr

[delicate hill]

:O!

[bold ibex]

Alright thank you

[trim nacelle]

yww

[coral kelp]

is their a mega man legends world for quest ?
