[random spruce]

is there a way to scale the size of a world in VRChat

without scaling anything in the world

by making the VRChat user bigger

or something

i can't scale the objects in my world without messing it all up

[grizzled harbor]

heya, I need to talk to one of the vrchat team members

[graceful igloo]

Is it possible to display a video in worlds easily?

[grizzled harbor]

udon video (avpro)

look in your prefabs

[graceful igloo]

I’m not a seasoned pro or anything I just need to know if it’s possible

Like idk what that means

[grizzled harbor]

yes its very possible

[graceful igloo]

Also is it possible to display live video, say a twitch livestream or something?

[grizzled harbor]

there is a video player in the vrchat prefabs given to you in uniy

unity

type in the url and thats it

[graceful igloo]

Oh ok awesome

Thanks for the help:)

[grizzled harbor]

np man

[ocean crag]

So weird I came to ask about video players…

[somber wraith]

i want to make some rooms now that are not connected to my main world and you need to teleport into them. however, i have never done something like this before. im not concerned about the udon part, but about how and where i should place the rooms so that they dont affect the performance of the people in the main world. ive been told that as long as they are really far away, they wont load in. is that true?

[ocean crag]

So for questies I want a video to just play on a tv and after adding that material I dragged the video onto the object and when I test its still just a white screen?

[ocean crag]

If you have occlusion on then if you dont see the other area it wont be loaded in and doesnt have to be super far away

[errant bloom]

Hi! I have a problem with unity as soon as I open a new project, there is a black screen on the right (Only when I open a new project) Anyone know why?

[white moon]

Normally around 200 units away is sufficient, if you then set the far clipping plane on your refrence camera to 100

[white moon]

Reset the layout, there's a button up to where you can just select default again. Shoullld fix it.

[errant bloom]

@white moon thanks ! Is good !

[bold ibex]

Hey so I have a question about acquiring something for a map

[ocean crag]

So Everything in my map was nice and dark and after I baked my lights it came out looking like someone was shining headlights through my window? Any idea why everything is now lit up?

To

[white moon]

Turn the lights down and rebake it? Or was the before pic also baked

[ocean crag]

Before was not baked, but theres not even a white light in the room idk where or why it looks like someone turned on a giant spotlight in there

Its almost like a sun got turned on?

[wintry granite]

Hey guys, I'm new to making worlds for VRC, intermediate at making 3d models. In the past I have gotten away with making models with that low poly flat shaded look, but now I am advancing to textured models. Are there any good platforms for free trim sheets that you guys know of? Where should I even begin looking

[ocean crag]

You can get free shaders and textures from the built in unity store

[wintry granite]

I meant images like this:

No need for height or roughness maps or anything

[green lagoon]

https://trimsheet.com/all_assets.html this website has some free trim sheets

[white moon]

Do you have a directional light in the scene? You could have a sun turned on.

[ocean crag]

Nope

Only lights are from my directional lights and those are the ones u can see in the pic, no other lights in the scene

[ember mirage]

anyone have some bathroom assets

and if i made a world in unity, how could i compile it together to be a prefab, like ui components and furniture and all that stuff

[fallen condor]

Is there some standard preparation for committing a VRC world to git? A VRC-specific .gitignore or .gitattributes?

[surreal surge]

how would i disable the ability to pick up an object with a ui element? So that an object is no longer pickupable and now its colliders interact with the player?

[bold ibex]

If i add UdonSharp to my project is there a risk something will break down

im talking about a pretty large project

[ember mirage]

I dont think so but dont take my word on it

[surreal surge]

back it up first

[bold ibex]

alright

[south orbit]

u can merge objects with probuilder addon in unity tho it isnt always recommended as it can mess up the mapping and the texture and so on.

[south orbit]

disable ''pickupable''

[surreal surge]

How do i do that with ui?

[south orbit]

how would u be able to 'pickup' UI anyways, UI isnt an object

[surreal surge]

@south orbit No i mean using a ui toggle to turn off the pickupability of an object

[south orbit]

make a toggle / button that interacts with the pickup script

[surreal surge]

Yeah I know but, none of the options seem to do that

[south orbit]

because u would have to script it into preferrebly udon behavior script

with that said, here u go, use Lura Switches and customize to ur likings .

looks like this .

[surreal surge]

What does that do?

[south orbit]

toggles objects, tho i think u should be able to tweak it to toggle scripts .

otherwise perhaps look up youtube for '' toggle scripts in unity ''

[surreal surge]

How would i drag it in and how is that different from setActive?

[surreal surge]

You can achieve this by putting the ui under an empty with a collider and pickup script

[south orbit]

is not that different, its just premade so u dont have to do alot of the work, aswell as it comes with button prefabs

[surreal surge]

Doesn’t seem like What im looking for but thanks anyway

[south orbit]

tho i cant see why exactly u would like to pickup or interact with an UI like that, other than being able to adjust it example. but ye

[tropic sable]

Hello! Are there any resources for free VRChat world environments?

[odd stratus]

heyy I'm having a problem with plastic SCM too now, I cannot sync my unity with my partners so we cannot update the work, do you have the solution to this?

[tropic sable]

template buildings models and stuff

[graceful radish]

What happened to the SDK? First all udon scripts broke and after reinstalling the SDK nothing actually shows up.

[graceful radish]

You can find some from booth

[pearl moon]

We still haven't gotten it to work

[somber wraith]

just opened my world project like 30 minutes ago. didnt change a thing, went to build and test and now i cant jump anymore. it worked before, why is that

[desert python]

booth, or gumroad

[vague pivot]

Does anyone know why I'm unable to interract with objects after swapping my project from PC to quest?

I can manually trigger the interact through the script however it doesn't show up when testing with cyanemu

[grave zealot]

Trying to create an animated world based around a video that loads on a plane; but due to relying on youtube to load the video; there's always very short delays with my animation/keyframing. Does anyone know a proper way of loading it without relying on a live video player? Saw a different take of this world I'm working on that had it loaded instantly so I have absolutely no idea how they pulled it off.

[kindred badger]

i'm having an issue with the scripts for all the active objects, do the latest sdks work with the latest version of unity?

if so, it might just be a user error

sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this

[short gulch]

No you have to use a specific version of Unity. I'm pretty sure it's 2019.4.31f1

[desert python]

couldve been google drive but imo, you can sync the time stamps the video has with the animation time stamps to keep them both together

[jade geyser]

Is it safe to use both avatars sdk3 and worlds sdk3

In the same project

[desert python]

no

[amber rivet]

hey guys how do i respawn an object automatically that falls into the void?

[short gulch]

It should do that on its own. You can change the height that it happens at too

[amber rivet]

the respawn thing is on and the height is set at the same height as player respawn but its not coming back?

nope it definitely just keeps falling forever

[gleaming otter]

Is there anyone who does world Commissions?

[near escarp]

https://ask.vrchat.com/c/commissions/world-commissions/34

[cobalt prawn]

I think all you need for that is a quad/plane with a VideoPlayer component. Then you can drag a video from your assets folder into the video clip slot and it will use that video as the plane's texture.

[grave zealot]

nah, blocked with sdk3

think I figured something out tho

[cobalt prawn]

Oh hmm

[versed plover]

There’s also a whole discord dedicated do commissions under #community-servers-old , vrctraders

[gleaming otter]

Vrctraders is around #community-servers-old ?

[amber rivet]

im still having issues with object respawning, neither respawn or destroy on objects at respawn height is working

[versed plover]

There’s a server called vrctraders in the community servers tab, it’s all about commissions for avatars/worlds

[amber rivet]

i set up a collider just below the respawn height and dropped a test object down there and the cube just lands on the collider, it doesnt respawn or disappear???

[wind girder]

Hey I have a question, I have a mirror toggle which works perfectly fine unity and has no issues but as soon as I test it in VRC it doesn't work. Any suggestions why?

[cobalt prawn]

What is the respawn height set to? Do you mean that if you just throw something or walk off the edge of the world without the test collider you set up, it just falls forever?

[amber rivet]

the respawn height is -7, and objects fall forever but i respawn just fine

i set a collider at -8, i would respawn before hitting it but the test cube i dropped would just land on it and stay there

[jade geyser]

Question

So I am making a item be able to be picked up

[kind leaf]

Use on triggerEnter instead of OnCollision and change the collider to be a trigger. Having a collider work the way you want it to while being a collider and not a trigger would mean that you would need to also write "grounded" checks and need to check if you are grounded with said collider

[jade geyser]

How do I make it so Other people can see me pick up the said item

[amber rivet]

oh i wasnt using the collider to measure whether it needed to respawn

i just had it set to respawn at the respawn height

[kind leaf]

ah - as u were 😛

[jade geyser]

I got the item being able to be picked up

But Others Cannot see you pick it up

[kind leaf]

attach the VRC_OBJ Sync component. Just click add component and type sync ull see it

[jade geyser]

Got it

[amber rivet]

ive managed to fix the respawn thing btw! by doing... literally nothing. 👍

[tight tulip]

Hi I have a button that plays a animation but it’s local even the it’s says it’s global

[somber wraith]

does anybody know why i still hear the sound playing, even tho im far outside the playing distance?

[cobalt prawn]

Because the spatial blend is set to 0

[somber wraith]

yeah, but i dont want a 3d effect

[cobalt prawn]

But distance is a 3D property

[somber wraith]

i want it to play in the area, without having a direction

[cobalt prawn]

Hmm in that case I believe you still want spatial blend to 1, but set spread to 180

And then doppler level is the change in pitch as distance changes, you probably want that at 0

[harsh wagon]

I'm having an issue with the SDK that's preventing me from testing or uploading a world. For some reason, I get a FileNotfoundException telling me the .vrcw file doesn't exist

any ideas?

[harsh wagon]

You can set the curve so that it's 2D and then turns 3D right at the end

[knotty zinc]

hey uh, anybody else have an issue where you build your world, and then your mouse never shows up in the screen to fill in your details?

we hit escape, tried hitting all the modifier keys, checked the unity and sdk versions and they are all up to date

and across two computers. All I can think now is to reinstall the VRCsdk

[cobalt prawn]

Does it happen if you build the example scene in the SDK? My first guess is that you imported something with a script that has mouse locking code in it, and that script is attached to an object somewhere in your scene

[knotty zinc]

INTRIGUING, we had suspected some scripts on one of the many many asset packs

[celest rune]

Anyone know if 1m is about right for a player's size? Trying to block things out with UModeller.

[round oracle]

in my mirrors the avatars are extremely dark, im guessing from the skybox (the blue is a sphere the skybox is actually dark because there is a day night toggle) the weird thing is that my avatar is lit normally outside the mirror, the mirror has reflect layers on everything so it should do it but its not working, any ideas?

[grim plinth]

Hey all! I'm having some issues importing a scene from blender to unity, looks like the UVs are a bit screwey. Also some plains are not visible.
If anyone has any info on this, please @ or DM me! Thank you!

[round oracle]

the faces arent the right direction, either turn off culling in the material or do this, blue is right way red is wrong way

if you wanna flip a face click it alt+n and flip

alright now someone p l e a s e help me idk what to do

[grim plinth]

I'm not super experienced but does your avi have basic emissions?

[grim plinth]

Thank you!!!!!

And what about the UVs?

[round oracle]

its not my avatar

[grim plinth]

Ah welp

[round oracle]

also i dont have experience in UVs

sorry homie

[grim plinth]

Does the problem persist on other avis? Cus my avi has that problem on a few worlds with bad lighting and I'm told it's just bc I don't have basic emissions on.

[grim plinth]

np, you already won half the battle for me 😂

[round oracle]

it happens with most avatars, these avatars work well in other worlds, so i wanna make em work here

[grim plinth]

Yeah I'm not sure how to fix that, like I said, I'm not super experience :p

But thanks again for your help :)

[rain shadow]

The mirror has a disable pixel lights option that you would want to disable for the lighting to work

Though you should look into light baking and light probes as they are more optimized and what most worlds use

[round oracle]

I have im just too dumb and cant wrap my head around it

but ill try the disable pixel lights thing

[gaunt egret]

use the capsule, its the player collider so its good to use for scaling

[brisk tendon]

hey does anyone know of a free water/ocean prefab that works on pc and quest?

tried this one and in game water stands still

[novel goblet]

so I was working on my first test world and got it to where I can upload it on android but as soon as I hit the upload button nothing happens...

anyone know what i did wrong?

[vale lake]

hello

I need some help..

my friend try to upload world

and test it

and its not working

[jade gull]

Do they have rank user or higher? If you are not ranked at least user, VRChat won't let you make worlds.

[vale lake]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/966690161758974023/974262840074596382/unknown.png @jade gull

so what do you think?

[jade gull]

Weird - it either doesn't make the file, or it gets lost somewhere.

Cannot say much more - I am stuck at new user, so my rank is allowing only making avatars.

[dusk sapphire]

you have compiler errors in your project

look at the rest of the error log, it'll usually tell you what are the offending scripts

[somber wraith]

i dont get it. i want the audio to have a falloff like 3d audio, but sound like 2d audio, how would i do that

[trim nacelle]

Set the spatial blend slider to 2D and on the vrc spatial audio source uncheck "enable spatialization"

[somber wraith]

but then it wont fall off

if i do 2d, it will play globally

[trim nacelle]

Ah ye i read it as not wanting it my bad

Then it should be spatialized already

[somber wraith]

i want it to fall off while not having a direction to it. if that makes sense

[trim nacelle]

Aah ok

[somber wraith]

3d audio always has the direction of the source but i want it to stay the same no matter the player rotation

[trim nacelle]

Stay the same you mean it doesn't change the pan with the head rotation?

[somber wraith]

yep exactly

[trim nacelle]

Then you'll still have to disable spatialization and with udon set the volume depending on the distance betweeen the player and source.
Spatialization just sets the audio on 3d space so it will always pan with spatialization enabled

[bold ibex]

Hi! I need a bit of help

I was editing my avatar world yesterday and when I tried to upload it to quest, the upload failed. Unity then crashed and all of my progress was deleted when I opened the project again :(

Is there anything I can do to restore the world?

[dusk sapphire]

fyi you don't need to use udon
https://nyanpa.su/i/uxpZ29nk.jpg
you just need to set a spatial blend curve such that it goes from 2d to 3d at the point of where it volume drops off

[dusk sapphire]

sounds like you just need to open the scene again, when unity crashes during upload the scene sometimes get uploaded. if you don't know what that is you probably used the default sample scene under the scenes folder.

[harsh canopy]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/periodic-meet-up-with-world-creators-and-devs Not sure if this is the right place, but I need your vote to make this happen

[deep hamlet]

I have a weird issue where as I rotate this playing card, the shape of it gets distorted, has anyone else had this problem?
https://puu.sh/IZWkW/d3800b2b8c.mp4

I don't have that problem in a fresh project, only this one. Anyone know anything that could cause this?

[vague pivot]

Looks like it's a child object of a parent that has a non-uniform scale

make sure it's parent's scale has the same x y and z or else that will happen

[deep hamlet]

Oh shit, I'll give that a shot

I think that just solved my issue, damn, you just out a stop to a lot of frustration lol, tysm

[bold ibex]

anyone know why this is suddenly happening when i get near my world? it wasnt like this before

kinda makes it hard to edit xD

[vague pivot]

That's the clipping plane, you can adjust it with the camera icon next to gizmos

[bold ibex]

thank you 😄

[vague pivot]

np!

[cobalt prawn]

Did you try what I said? Set spatial blend to 3D and spread to 180

Or spatial blend curve too ^ but yea you don't need code for this

[somber wraith]

i used a different method. i simply made a trigger area that is as big as the area i want the sound to play and basically have the sound enabled if the player is in the trigger area and disabled once he leaves

[daring holly]

maybe this is in a faq, but whats the requirements needed to get access to upload worlds? is it like play time / dev time a mixture?

[somber wraith]

you just need to be user. for avatars new user is enough, but for worlds, you need to be user and that can be achived through being active in the game / having many friends, being in populated worlds etc etc

[daring sigil]

Hi:)
Please help me!

I posted 1 world in VRC (marshmallow castle) and now I want to post the second one (mem box).
But in the builder I see only the opportunity to publish an update of the first world https://prnt.sc/9A-v7lf2vY3h

What should I do to still publish a new world, not update the old one?

[near escarp]

Did you use the same vrcworld prefab ?

[daring sigil]

Probably yes
Should I import a "clean" vrcworld prefab? Or are there any settings in vrcworld that I can change?

[azure anchor]

I am trying to make this variable public and it won't let me

[near escarp]

Yeah use a new one

[knotty zinc]

@cobalt prawn We figured it out, there were a ton of scripts throwing errors, but it in fact was a camera in a player object that came with an example scene that we then modified

thanks for the tip!

[somber wraith]

since i failed repeatedly at making my own video player, i simply got a prefab. it has a quest option but the material slot is empty which i think is strange. what material would i use for the quest version for maximal compatibility

[sacred warren]

Should the Unity stock Animator work in VRC? If not, what are you supposed to use instead?

[somber wraith]

not too sure, but i think vrc only accepts animatior controller components

[sacred warren]

So weird that they'd nuke those on worlds.

[sacred warren]

That seems to be specifically for avatars.

What do you use on objects in worlds?

[somber wraith]

i cant seem to figure it out. would i still use a RealtimeEmissiveGamma material even when on quest?

[stone marsh]

No, this is deprecated and stated as such in Unity's documentation. You need to use an Animator Controller. It was answered above. But since they said they think I wanted to clarify for certain, this isn't used for avatars or world's.

[sacred warren]

Yeah, I found the new one now, configuration isn't that much different. It was just being weird as I needed to change the animation type on the mesh itself.

Is there an obvious cause and fix for people appearing really dark in mirrors?

[versed plover]

Probably your light probes aren’t working correctly?

[sacred warren]

Would that not result in you being dark regardless? This is only in the mirror.

[versed plover]

Sometimes I’ve had it as you same problem and I just forgot to bake my light probes, wether that was a abnormal problem or not idk but that’s what my problem/fix was

[sacred warren]

Ill get them rebaked. I wonder why only in mirrors.

[versed plover]

I could totally be way off but 🤷🏼‍♂️

[rain shadow]

Uncheck the disable pixel lights option on the mirror component

[sacred warren]

I tried that first, no change.

Users are lit by the skybox ambient and a single realtime directional.

[cobalt prawn]

Have you tested it yet? I would assume it's meant to be blank and the associated scripts will generate a material for it at runtime

[somber wraith]

that might be it, sadly i cant test it really because i dont have a quest. maybe ill test it in a dummy project

[sacred warren]

Bah, if i try and bake the probes, it is going to break the current weird lighting the world is using.

yep, its destroyed all the premade lightmaps, shit.

i know what it is, the light only applies to player, not playerlocal, so you only see yourself as dark

[somber wraith]

how would i be able to check?

[sacred warren]

Hmmm, the Animator works when I go into Play mode, but doesn't work when uploaded. Obvious causes?

[cobalt prawn]

You can't without a quest really, or someone with one to test for you

[brisk tendon]

anyone know a good way to add rain to a world/also rain drops on windows like in midnight rooftop? as well as an ocean/body of water?

[somber wraith]

ocean/water body is simple, there are a ton of vrchat watershaders available. rain running down a window would also be relatively easy to do with sequences. however, i have no idea how to do rain itself. your best shot would be a particle system with a rain drop texture. however this will take a bit of figuring out and it also might be a concern if you want it quest compatible

[brisk tendon]

where can i find a water shader? i got a prefab off unity store but the water doesnt move in game sadly

[somber wraith]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml# this would be a good start

[brisk tendon]

thank you so much

[versed plover]

https://booth.pm/ja/items/2336731 this is a shader with water droplets on glass

[brisk tendon]

thank you for that aswell!

[cobalt wing]

Is there a good tutorial on how to remove sdk 2 and install sdk 3 ? Need help with an old world

[daring sigil]

It works, thank you so much, you made me happy:)

[broken tundra]

bug

[upper obsidian]

The documentation describes in detail how to upgrade from 2 to 3

[silk zealot]

Hey, im trying to show the control panel for my SDK but nothing pops up and instead gives me this error. I have no idea what it means nor how to fix it, and im honestly kinda stressed since I just wanted to update my world thats on community labs and really dont want to wait another week just to upload the world once again. Im hoping I can still update my world without having to remove the SDK or start a new project

[south orbit]

are u using the newest SDK ?

also this is SDK 2.0 its quite outdated u might wanna consider converting it to a 3.0

[silk zealot]

Im using SDK2 because a prefab im using isnt up to date for SDK3

its a combat/weapon system that takes advantage of the triggers.

[silk zealot]

Im maintaining an old project that uses SDK2

[south orbit]

'' please migrate to SDK3 as soon as possible ''

[silk zealot]

I use SDK3 for other stuff

[south orbit]

'' do not use SDK2 and SDK3 in the same project ''

[silk zealot]

I dont use them in the same project

just using SDK2

[south orbit]

yeah well it is most likely that it is the SDK2 that is outdated / partially broken

[silk zealot]

Again, already uploaded the world so it worked, but just wanted to update it and now the control panel wont show up.

[south orbit]

which again means that the SDK is broken

u could try re-import the SDK but i doubt it would fix it, perhaps it would

[silk zealot]

and if I reupload the SDK, its going to make a whole new world and I wont be able to update the old one

[south orbit]

i mean u could export it and make a new project

[silk zealot]

well yeah I know that but the problem is that I was trying to update a world not upload a new one.

Id have to wait a month or so for it to become public

and a week just to put it on community labs

[south orbit]

if u export it to a new project it doesnt mean u neccesarily make a new one, all u need to use is the same blueprint ID to overwrite it

[silk zealot]

I cant access the blueprint ID without logging in first

and without a control panel, cant log in

[south orbit]

u could login in another project to access it

[silk zealot]

but it wouldn't be the same blueprint id

[south orbit]

how come ?

u see this list

u see teh button called

copy ID

[silk zealot]

ohhh

[south orbit]

thats basicly it

[silk zealot]

didn't know that

[south orbit]

👍

[silk zealot]

how would I go about applying the same id

[ruby jay]

do you have any errors in the console?

[silk zealot]

eyup

[south orbit]

well once u found ur world, u copy the ID and then u have the blueprinnt ID, then u just need to make ur project work one way or another, as said i assume its the SDK 2.0 that is just broken by default due to being outdated hence why i would personally convert to 3.0 even u state u have some that only works for 2.0 u might can find a solution / something similar and get it to work with 3.0

[silk zealot]

I'm not familiar at all with combat systems in sdk 3

[south orbit]

are u making an RPG ?

[silk zealot]

basically

[south orbit]

this should be compatable for 3.0

now where did i find this, good question xD

but neitherways, it shows that there is systems out there for 3.0

[silk zealot]

again no idea how I'd go around replace all the models, sounds, particle systems, remove whatever ui it comes with and all of that.

I know it exists for sdk3 but I just don't know how it'd work in it

[south orbit]

yeah that gonna be a bit of a hazzle

[silk zealot]

all prefabs in the community I'm in only support sdk2

it's what I'm most used to

[plush bough]

how can i fix audio and make it only hearable from a certain distance?

[south orbit]

on ur audio source '' max distance ''

[plush bough]

appreciated ❤️

[broken tundra]

any1 knows tye fix of this bug, its basically me not being able to click on the ui, so i cant upload the world.

[trim nacelle]

Try changing the resolution, it worked for me
It might be because you have some collider occluding the ui, look on scene and you'll find a giant ui, maybe there's some object between it

[broken tundra]

No, look well the error in the console

[broken tundra]

It talks about the input method used by the vrc sdk is obsolète

[trim nacelle]

Ah i see, have you set the input handling to both on the player settings?

[broken tundra]

On both, alredy tryied it, but didnt change anything

I set it on both

[trim nacelle]

And you restarte unity after this?

[broken tundra]

Yop, even many times cuz gpu lightmapper chrased

[trim nacelle]

Well sh

[broken tundra]

Ikr, and like, cuz of that I cant upload it, and noone knows why

[trim nacelle]

Can't be the unity version cuz it's correct, and ig your sdk is also up to date

[broken tundra]

Yop

[trim nacelle]

And did you try switching the input handle thing to the other one?

[broken tundra]

Yop, alredy did but might as well try changing it a couple more time tonight

[trim nacelle]

Is it the only project where that happens?

[silk zealot]

At a certain trust level will I have to stop going trough community labs? or at every trust level it has to

[trim nacelle]

At every level

[silk zealot]

that's annoying.

[broken tundra]

Its the first world im doing

[trim nacelle]

So it's the only project you have
Try creating a new one, importing the sdk, dropping the vrcworld prefab anywhere and try uploading

[broken tundra]

Okay

Will do

[kindred sparrow]

nether lights, or mirrors are interacting with playerlocal, anyone know how i can fix this?

[dawn fossil]

idk why when i upload my world it wont show it on my category, i got the pop up it uploaded successfully but thing shows when i press "manage world in browser" someone knows?

[vague pivot]

Does the console throw any errors along the line of "blueprint id already exists"?

[bold ibex]

Hey! Does anyone know how to use the playlist function for KineL's Video Player? It keeps showing up as unavailable even when I add the videos.

[daring holly]

have a odd question about development, can a world be procedural, or does it all have to be prebuilt?

[vague pivot]

As far as I know instantiation is disabled so you'd have to pool everything

However apart from that and the performance cost I can't see why not

[ruby jay]

you can vrc instantiate just fine, it just does not sync

so you would have to ensure everyone is doing the same actions

[kind leaf]

my rpg system is simple and a basic barebones kit to get you started, the ui is setup for PC but positioning it for vr is simple if you have vr. Just adjust the positioning until it fits. Its currency is tracked locally which means extra steps need taken for group events. But if 5 people harvest a resource, or kill a boss, each person will get exactly what they are due. Not sure if a readme was included but I will gladly load up the last update and explain whatever needs explaining. Sry for the delya, doing the System Slavery gig now (9-5) lol

[silk zealot]

How long does it take a world to come out of community labs?

[left rain]

depends on how many people visit and if it gets flagged

[kind leaf]

...and how long they stay? The exact requirements are kept unknow for a reason.

^although since vrc aint monetized there is literally no reason to keep their algorithm secrete, but if it makes them feel special...

[green lagoon]

they are plans for monetization in vrchat

[kind leaf]

plans.... sry but fk those plans., they were announced at the begining of the year and we have had what? 5 IK bone updates

shit

[green lagoon]

it takes time to build out those systems and there's also been Avatar Dynamics and open Sound control

[kind leaf]

worlds got no love for months, its disheartening

[green lagoon]

several of the stuff planned for the worlds would be dependent on the new ui

[kind leaf]

ui isnt but a spent tissue in value (time) to produce. The User experience of the UI for sure, but outside of that the code is straight forward. They are just going down a list and Avatars are more important right now, and for a while. Which I dont deny, avatar perform,ance is shit

[silk zealot]

atm 82 visits in a day.

dont know where to advertise my world

for more visits

[kind leaf]

#shameless-self-promotion

[left rain]

it can be pretty hard to get attention. releasing updates right around primetime helps

[kind leaf]

and twitter whist tagging vrchat

[green lagoon]

that would require a bit of work getting the world persistent stuff working

[kind leaf]

Ive got anger for the lack of world updates, but rest assured, I do believe VRC is the leader in VR platforms (counting full creativity and performance).

[sullen turret]

Does anyone know any shaders that have a glitter effect similar to Poiyomi? I'm trying to make the snow in my world look sparkly

[left rain]

what are you hoping to do with it that poiyomi doesn't do already

[sullen turret]

I am trying to get realistic lighting

Poiyomi is a toon shader

[ocean crag]

Ive been on off asking this sub and reddit for a good month with no answers on this… I have QT pens in my worlds and they do not draw… how for the love of god to people get these things to actually leave trails and draw

[sullen turret]

I've already figured something out though. I have two layers of snow, one with standard shader and one with poiyomi shader

I set poiyomi shader to be transparent

[left rain]

poiyomi isn't just a toon shader, it has lit modes that follow normal PBR specs

it will be much more expensive to use two separate materials and transparency

[left rain]

the pens just work out of the box, if you're not getting compile errors then my guess is you've put the pens or a child object of them on a non-default layer or something

[ocean crag]

Its literally not that simple

I just drag them from the asset menu and plop them down with doing nothing else and in none of my worlds do they work, its like the ink has dries in all my markers

I’m desperate so if you know and are holding back from new world developers, ill maybe make a deal or something Ill be your vr wingman if you want, just please share the knowledge around

[left rain]

i mean why tf would i be holding back anything, for most people (myself included) the shit just works as long as you got U# installed

what asset are you dragging into the scene? is it the prefab with all the markers included?

[ocean crag]

Yes

[left rain]

and you have U# installed, right? do you get any compile errors when building the scene?

[ocean crag]

No

The pens are there and I’m in the running world with no errors and in all 3 of my maps its the same thing just empty markers

[left rain]

what SDK are you using?

[ocean crag]

Uh 3 I think, whatever is the most up to date one

[left rain]

are you testing in VR or on flat screen?

[ocean crag]

Both

[left rain]

and the pens and their child objects are all on the default layer, right?

(also, shift + win + S to take a screengrab, then just paste into this window)

[ocean crag]

Its whatever layer they go in naturally or just come in, I dont do anything to them

[left rain]

okay. and this is gonna sound really dumb, but you are definitely squeezing the trigger while you draw? not just the grip?

[ocean crag]

Yes…

[left rain]

have you tried a different pen asset? like this one? https://github.com/z3y/vertex-color-pens

[ocean crag]

Other people on pc and quest in my worlds have the same problem of them not drawing

Ive tried vertex but cant get it to work in quest

[sacred warren]

Is something needed for an animator to actually "work"? It's linked up, entry leads into the animation, but it simply doesn't run in VRC (though oddly it does run in the editor in play mode).

[left rain]

it definitely works on both, i use it in my world

[ocean crag]

Nope just tried using vertex again and just get the same script error as last time

[left rain]

what error?

[gaunt egret]

do you have udonsharp

i just plopped them into my world and both prefabs are working

[ocean crag]

are you guys on unity 19?

[left rain]

you need to be on exactly unity 2019.4.31f1

[gaunt egret]

the version you should be using is 2019.4.31f1

[ocean crag]

yes

[left rain]

okay. and you've installed the udonsharp package?

[ocean crag]

yes

no script error or anything for qt pens at least

[left rain]

validate that SDK version. what's yours say?

[cobalt prawn]

In the import settings of the animation, under the Rig tab, is Animation Type maybe set to legacy? I think VRC requires it be either generic or humanoid

[ocean crag]

Where do I see that?

[sacred warren]

It's set to Generic.

[gaunt egret]

vrc sdk, its the last tab

[cobalt prawn]

Can you post some screens, like the Animator component in the inspector, and the animator controller graph?

[ocean crag]

Mine doesnt look like that?

[left rain]

what's yours look like

[gaunt egret]

^

[ocean crag]

Wait nvm

[left rain]

that's a slightly outdated sdk. it's probably not the reason you're having this problem, but you could try upgrading

[gaunt egret]

worth a shot

mine is oldish but they still work fine lol

maybe udon updated on github

[left rain]

yeah i've never had problems with any pens

[ocean crag]

have either of you put pens in a world in the last month?

[gaunt egret]

within the last hour yes

[left rain]

i updated my world about 3 weeks ago, it's got z3y's vertex color pens

[cobalt prawn]

Yea I tried helping you like a week ago and it worked fine for me 🤷‍♂️

[swift cloud]

How do I set a world as my home world?

[sacred warren]

Component

[ocean crag]

is it something maybe with lighting? do I have to have non baked lights?

[gaunt egret]

no

[left rain]

pens are self-illuminated

[sacred warren]

@cobalt prawn The graph is literally just the default setup of "Entry > (animation name)" with no changes.

[gaunt egret]

you want all of your lights to be baked anyways

[ocean crag]

i mean i figured, but I'm just absolutely clueless as to why me and my friends pens dont work

[gaunt egret]

try it in a new project maybe

[left rain]

9 times out of ten it's just from not reading the instructions. start a new project, import the latest SDK3.0, then import the latest udonsharp package, then import your pens

in that order

make sure you have the latest package for each of these things

do not import any other assets except the world definition, keep a clean slate

[ocean crag]

where do I go go for new sdk again?...

[left rain]

vrchat.com

[gaunt egret]

i would say put down a plane mesh, put vrcworld prefab on it, then the pens

and test n build

[left rain]

yeah not falling through the world eternally is a good plan

[ocean crag]

where at on vrchat.com?

[left rain]

log in

then it's there

[sacred warren]

https://vrchat.com/home/download

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah this is tricky, I dunno 😦

[ocean crag]

Alright I clicked on the sdk worlds button seemed like it downloaded something but I’m still on the same sdk? Is that the newest version?

[gaunt egret]

it doesn't automatically update

you need to manually drag and drop the sdk into a new project

[left rain]

whatever you get from the website is the latest. now you need to import that package to your unity project

you can use Import Custom Package to handle it

[gaunt egret]

ay wait you're the guy

love that world

[left rain]

it's a me

thanks!

[ocean crag]

Hmm it downloaded the same version…

[left rain]

yeah there's literally no way dude

VRCSDK3-WORLD-2022.04.20.16.26_Public.unitypackage

that's not the same SDK you were running

[ocean crag]

i get this when I press to download sdk worlds

[left rain]

wtf is going on with your browser

i think you might have bigger problems

clicking on too many dick pills ads

[gaunt egret]

uhh

wat da

[ocean crag]

I’m just going to restart this damn thing

[brisk tendon]

anyone know a good music player that can pre-load many songs from YT and have a tracklist/shuffle/now playing?

i guess doesnt have to be just links, just preferred for world size

[sacred warren]

Clear your cache, looks like you've still got a bunch of the old CSS loaded.

[ocean crag]

Ok finally on newest sdk…

[sacred warren]

Ah, looks like the animator IS running and the bones are moving, but not the mesh for some reason.

[cobalt prawn]

Interesting, and the mesh does move when it runs in play mode in the editor?

[left rain]

is the mesh component a Mesh Renderer or a Skinned Mesh Renderer?

[cobalt prawn]

It is skinned according to this screenshot. I wonder if it's a hierarchical thing, since the root bone is not a child of the object with the animator (I feel like I've only ever seen animators on root objects which control their own children)?? But then Idk why it would work in editor

[cobalt prawn]

Maybe move the animator component to the root object instead? No idea if it'll work but something to try

[sacred warren]

I actually had it set up that way before and it still didn't work. I wonder if I had two issues and resolving one means that I need to play about with the original fixes for something else. I'll play about some more.

[brisk tendon]

anyone know a good udon music player that can pre-load many songs from YT and have a tracklist/shuffle/now playing?

[ocean crag]

should this be the pens I'm downloading, can you guys tell if this is maybe something old and thats why they dont work?

https://booth.pm/en/items/1555789

[brisk tendon]

do you have udon sharp in project?

[ocean crag]

Yes

Alright all new world on all new updated unity and pens file and same thing

I also cant click the buttons around the pens, they dont highlight or anything, is that a sign for something not right in the prefab?

[cobalt prawn]

No errors in the console?

[ocean crag]

None

[cobalt prawn]

Something is super fishy then. I would try to list every step you took in order from creating that new Unity project to where you are now, and maybe then we can tell what in that list is not right

[ocean crag]

I think vr chat is down right now, I cant get in to test anymore

[cobalt prawn]

What version of udonsharp are you importing?

[silk zealot]

thank you from the future.

[ocean crag]

file says 0.20.3

[stone marsh]

Ugh. Please don't cross post... I'll let other people deal with it. Just gotta pick a thread and stick with it so you don't waste people's times making the same suggestions or starting the same troubleshooting process. >.>

[ocean crag]

I dont see what the problem is if other people in different servers are seeing it there that wouldnt see it here

[cobalt prawn]

The problem is what they described, that you can waste people's time because they might not see the other thread you've started and will suggest things or offer ways of helping that have already been offered.

[stone marsh]

You posted in multiple threads, so much of what I was asking and going to ask was already asked in a different thread. Wasting time... That's why

Also, make a normal interact button and put it next to the pens and see if you can interact with that. You might be doing something dumb like putting the pens in a collider volume.

Also, post screenshot of your pens and the script on the pens so we can make sure the script didn't loose it's associations

[ocean crag]

How do I see the script that’s on the prefab?

[cobalt prawn]

Ya that's not right. Nice thinkin MERC

[left rain]

there's no script attached at all

[cobalt prawn]

But also, why aren't you working in the new project you said you had started?

Check on that one

[left rain]

soooo something got screwed when you imported these packages. how did you import them, and in what order?

[ocean crag]

imported sharp then pens?

[left rain]

okay, and how did you import them?

did you do it from the Import Custom Package menu?

[ocean crag]

just click on them in their file location then it opens in unity and I clip import

[left rain]

okay.

you need to import custom package

then select the file, and you'll be shown a list of everything that will be imported or updated

assets > import package > custom package

then point to the .unitypackage file

you need to import u# before any assets that require it. the order matters

I'd recommend removing all the pens shit from your project, then reimport u# using the above method, then same for the pens

[gaunt egret]

did you even try it using a new project lol

[ocean crag]

imported that way is it better?

[left rain]

I'm gonna have a stroke brb

[ocean crag]

oh didnt see the last part of that message'

how do I import u# before any assets that require it

is that udon sharp?

im assuming thats the udon script on the pens, let me get a nother screen shot

what do I do from here

[stone marsh]

Click import. Assuming you did that for UdonSharp already

[ocean crag]

thats what I did last time and toadstorm said he was going to have a stroke...

[stone marsh]

You also did use the UnityPackage version of UdonSharp correct? Not like, download the whole thing as a zip or something dumb

[ocean crag]

thats what my file looks like

not zipped or anything

these are also at the bottom should they be at the top/how do you re-arrange them

[stone marsh]

Did you not already click import? I said that's what you need to do...

[ocean crag]

well I wanted to make sure it was importing correctly

so now what

[stone marsh]

Can you do me a favor and post a screenshot of your console

Before anything else.

[ocean crag]

console?

like just whats on my screen right now?

nvm'

[stone marsh]

You said there were no errors in your console. How did you know this if you didn't know what the console was.....

[cobalt prawn]

Bruh

[stone marsh]

Hit play. Can you enter play mode?

[ocean crag]

sorry im not familiar with all the terminology

[gaunt egret]

prayin for ya merc

still hasn't said if they've tried it in a new project

[stone marsh]

I'm doing a door dash so leaving it with u gus now

[gaunt egret]

no idea why its not working because i made a new project earlier and they work completely fine

newest sdk 3 > udon sharp > qv pens

[stone marsh]

Prob just need to check if the scripts are associated now but none the less. Off to drop off this subway lol

[ocean crag]

I went back because I want it to work in this world

[gaunt egret]

lol

[cobalt prawn]

Lol

Try getting it working FIRST then put it in your world

And don't ignore things people are telling you to do when they are trying to help you

[gaunt egret]

"qv pen clone" tf

[cobalt prawn]

Yea lol wut

I'm not helping anymore unless you start a new project

[gaunt egret]

you definitely need to get the pens working on a blank/new world before you try getting them to work on the world you're wanting to use them in

we're trying to help you lol

[ocean crag]

fine, itll take a minute though because my old laptop is very slow

[cobalt prawn]

So were you lying when you said this?

[ocean crag]

no

it literally takes a good 6-8 minutes to switch between projects

[stone marsh]

Something needs to be reimported

Did you delete the prefab from the scene before you deleted the folder for qv pens and reimport it?

[ocean crag]

yes

deleted everything

[cobalt prawn]

Deleted from within your Scene hierarchy, not just from your project folders, to be extra clear.

[ocean crag]

i mean I deleted the asset folder under project and everything from heirarchy

[stone marsh]

Can you just double click the prefab in your scene folder, it will open the prefab, look directly in there to see if it has scripts attached

[ocean crag]

well im waiting for it to download into that fresh scene now, I deleted the files on that one too when it didnt work

[stone marsh]

If it doesn't, then do as suggested and make just make a new project and import everything as required

Import sdk
Import udonsharp
Import pens.

In that order.

[ocean crag]

thats the order I started in this new one so let me get everything re-installed

[ocean crag]

is this how its supposed to be looking?

[cobalt prawn]

Yup

[ocean crag]

Now can we figure out why it doesnt work like this in the other world…

[winged wave]

Does anyone have a keyboard asset for vrc one of my friends is mute and I want her to be able to communicate better but I’m having a hard time finding one

[ocean crag]

Did you try prefabs vrchat google doc

[winged wave]

no i havent

[ocean crag]

Google that and there will be quite a bit of good assets for worlds

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml

[cobalt prawn]

My guess is that you were not removing the pen stuff completely before re-importing it. You should delete the whole QvPen folder from your project, and delete any QvPen stuff from your scene. Then re-import the QvPen package. Check for any errors immediately after importing. Then, before putting the prefab in your scene, I would double click the prefab and make sure the scripts look correct. Then if all is well, drag into your scene

[winged wave]

i went through it they dont have anything but thank you tho i can use that in the future for other stuff

[ocean crag]

Tried that just got the same result as the first time, is there anyway to check for any residual folders? I dont see anything under project assets or anything in the scene

[cobalt prawn]

So if you double click the prefab to open it by itself, and check for the scripts there, it looks the same?

[cerulean echo]

Would it be not better to add the script manual it gona be slow and he would need to look on the other project what he need to add but better then not fixing it ? Is only an idea

[cobalt prawn]

Well the asset is a drag and drop prefab, so something somewhere has gone very wrong, better to find the source of the problem imo

[cobalt prawn]

Can you screenshot your udonsharp folder, with the version file selected so the inspector shows what version you have. For peace of mind that you do indeed have udonsharp installed

[cerulean echo]

Was only an idea lol

[ocean crag]

I mean it worked in the other world how would be a different udon sharp in this one…

[cobalt prawn]

Who knows, I'm just trying to get you to poke around and make sure everything is in it's proper place

[ocean crag]

i followed the same process in that one too delete both files re upload proper way and boom worked

[cobalt prawn]

You mean re-importing udonsharp worked and all is good now?

[ocean crag]

in the new world

not this one

that didnt work in this one

[cobalt prawn]

Ah k

Have you tried deleting and re-importing udonsharp in this project then?

[ocean crag]

i did before let me just try again

https://tenor.com/view/frustrated-pulling-hair-no-frustrating-gif-3532627

same thing lol

[cobalt prawn]

Ok new question: I see you have the Standard Assets folder in your project. If you're not using anything in there, delete that folder. It contains scripts which are known to cause issues

If you're using something in there which is important for your world make a backup just in case

[ocean crag]

ugh is it in there again..

[cobalt prawn]

There is some stuff that is usable in there but just delete all of it so we can see if that's the issue

[ocean crag]

didnt work let me try uploading udog again with it deleted

[stone marsh]

Standard assets would throw an error.

Can you enter play mode at all?

[ocean crag]

yes the world has been up in labs for a few days

[stone marsh]

That's not what I was asking, you did a lot today. Are you able to press the play button

[ocean crag]

yes still works...

downloaded both again still same

[cobalt prawn]

Welp I'm nearly out of ideas. Maybe try this, it'll take some time but might do something helpful lol

[cerulean echo]

If he would delete the qvpen and copy the folder of the qvpen of the new project and add it to the old would that help ? that is new idea

[cobalt prawn]

I would be surprised if that worked, and it shouldn't be necessary to do that, but it is something to try

[ocean crag]

Re compile didnt work

also file from other scene doesnt work

[cobalt prawn]

At this point I would be frustrated enough to just reimport all assets in the new project one by one, testing and checking for errors, and then copy your scene and other files over. If at some point it stops working then you can narrow down what broke it, and if it doesn't stop working then cool you have a working project with pens now. I def understand if you don't wanna do all that just for some pens, but dunno what else to suggest

[ocean crag]

yah I guess it's jsut a thing you cant add pens after building the world, from now on the first thing Ill import is pens...

[cerulean echo]

the idea with adding manual the script maybe now good idea ?

[cobalt prawn]

I mean it's not "just a thing" it's something wrong with your project that is preventing them from working correctly, but sure

[ocean crag]

I mean I have 3 other projects that this exact thing happens in, I really doubt its just a fluke...

[cobalt prawn]

And there are probably hundreds/thousands of worlds/projects that it did not happen in

[cobalt prawn]

I mean if Jorge wants to try. I wouldn't even be able to explain how to do that tho 🤷‍♂️

[stone marsh]

Making the same user errors. Learning has growing pains for some.

[dusk sapphire]

deleted qvpens from your scene, delete from project, reimport, then place them back into your scene

[stone marsh]

Adding the scripts manually would also take a bit of time, there is a lot to input into them, and without knowing how it's supposed to be setup.

[stone marsh]

Already done up top supposedly

Like an hour ago lol

[dusk sapphire]

did they actually remove it from the scene or just reimported qvpens? big difference

[ocean crag]

ive done that like a good 8-9 times

[stone marsh]

I was very clear about this and they insisted that was the case

[cerulean echo]

He could look on the new project

[ocean crag]

deleted everything even searched the flash drive for any trace of the file befoe re-importing

[dusk sapphire]

the script references missing is usually a result of importing udonsharp after qvpens, with qvpens already in the scene

[stone marsh]

Indeed

#world-development message

That's what I assumed. Figuring they only deleted the folder and left the prefab in the hierarchy

But doesn't seem to be the case. Of course, who knows. He also said his console was error free then later said he didn't know what the console was.

[dusk sapphire]

I gotta ask, what's Vrchat_SDK_kit

[stone marsh]

This is all most likely purely down to not importing listed dependencies properly

[ocean crag]

when someone asks if there's errors I know where to look for errors, if someone says check your console I think theyre talking about my pc...

[cobalt prawn]

You literally have to click the word console to see the console. No offense but not understanding that shows that you are still very much a Unity noob

[dusk sapphire]

https://nyanpa.su/i/s5iZ29pU.jpg

[stone marsh]

Where did you spy that?

[dusk sapphire]

in his assets list lol

[stone marsh]

Oh I see it lol wah

[ocean crag]

i mean clearly Im a noob Ive been doing this whole thing for like 3 weeks maybe

[stone marsh]

Honestly, at this point, just copy and paste everything over to the working project lmfao

[dusk sapphire]

and well, show us the console

[stone marsh]

He did a bit ago and it was empty

Said he was able to enter play mode

[cobalt prawn]

Yea that's what I'm sayin

[cerulean echo]

Empty yea but i hope he not close the list i mean that it show samthi k

[stone marsh]

Wat

[dusk sapphire]

can you just drag a new instance of qvpens into your scene and see if they have the references

[stone marsh]

Or even just opening the prefab by double clicking it. Think I said that a while ago tho

[dusk sapphire]

oh vrchat_sdk_kit comes from the homekit

did that have issues being imported into an sdk3 project?

[stone marsh]

Doing something like this may work too

Delete qv pens from your scene hierarchy
Make new scene in same project
Save current scene
Open new scene
Delete sdk folder
Delete udon sharp folder
Delete qv pens folder

Still in the new scene, save unity
Quit unity
Open unity
Import sdk
Import udonsharp
Import qvpens

Open original scene file.

Then drag and drop the prefab into your scene again, fresh, without unpacking it.

Or just prefab everything and move it to the working project and be done with this lmfao

[dusk sapphire]

why are you using sdk2 in 2022

[stone marsh]

I've honestly never used it. Dunno. He did at some point have standard assets tho.

[ocean crag]

if I did that wouldnt it be considered a new map then and have to be uploaded to labs..

[dusk sapphire]

wait

standard assets is there

[ocean crag]

already deleted that

[stone marsh]

It seems to be an empty folder

[dusk sapphire]

oh

[stone marsh]

It would throw hard errors and prevent build

[dusk sapphire]

was this before or after importing udon sharp lol

[ocean crag]

both

[stone marsh]

No. Your world is determined by the ID you assign the pipeline manager

[stone marsh]

O.o it's either one or the other lmao.

There would typically be scripts in the scene folder as well for standard assets. But they would also throw errorss

[dusk sapphire]

if it was after importing udon sharp, and after doing the whole qv pen reimport thing

you might have to do it again

[ocean crag]

it was there when I first imported udon and I deleted both when it didnt work then uploaded udon again with it gone

[dusk sapphire]

qvpen's is particularly susceptible to this issue of having its script references missing when its importing before udon sharp exists in the project, and can happen if imported while the project has compile errors with udonsharp imported

i think its because its a nested prefab? idk

[stone marsh]

Probably. That's why I suggested the option above and a full wipe and readd

Do consider following this exactly

#world-development message

The order of steps I listed is important

If instead you just move things to the working project, you'd just copy and paste the word ID into the pipeline manager. But that shouldn't be necessary. Your issue is fixable, technically speaking.

[ocean crag]

figured it out

[cobalt prawn]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-will-ferrell-awesome-gif-14597941

[ocean crag]

after doing all that other stuff Vertex pens actually worked in the world now

[cobalt prawn]

Good stuff. Nice job breaking it all down @stone marsh , ya did it 🙌

[ocean crag]

well I didnt have to do the whole new scene thing lol just tried vertex pens again

[gaunt egret]

i come back and its fixed

good job merc

[stone marsh]

Lmao. So you're not using qv pens at all

[ocean crag]

no 😂

[gaunt egret]

lolwat

[ocean crag]

but the vertex pens didnt work the first time around so something we did in this whole process fixed that

[stone marsh]

Well, I'd honestly be surprised if what I wrote didn't fix qv. But. Oh well. Lmfao. I'm done caring.

[ocean crag]

I mean maybe, but this solution was a lot quicker

I dont have the energy at 3am to try to reimport a whole scene lol

[stone marsh]

You'd only reimport the sdk, U# and qv. But all's good. Cheers dude.

[ocean crag]

thank you all for the help I feel a little more sane knowing it wasnt just something simple I was missing

[north siren]

My computer crashed while building and publishing my world to vrchat and now my scene is completely empty
Ive had my computer crash in the past during unity but it never completely wiped my scene
am I completely screwed? I have a backup but its from nearly 6 months ago...

the folder size is still 5.8gb but thats probably just all my imported assets right?

[dusk sapphire]

you just need to re open the scene again

if you don't know where or what scene you used you probably used the sample scene in the scene folder

[north siren]

im pretty sure i just used the sample scene and thats the one completely empty in the hierarchy

all the other scenes in my project were examples from things i imported

[dusk sapphire]

when unity crashes sometimes the scene gets unloaded. I'd try just looking in each of your scene files in your project to be sure. Unlikely it got deleted.

[sudden minnow]

What do I need to do?

It keeps logging me out every time I try to publish

[broken jackal]

Working on the Monroe house from twd Alexandria

[swift cloud]

I don't think there is a world search feature on here. So came here for now. Does anyone know if there is a Montgomery Gator Green Room from Security Breach world? I know Freddy and Roxanne have one. But idk if Monty has one yet in VRchat.

[south orbit]

tryina upload my world to quest version

why

[south orbit]

add vrc scene descriptor to ur world, if u already have that then detach the blueprint id and try again .

[bold ibex]

my camera is oddly titled now does anyone know how to fix the rotation back to default?

[south orbit]

try click this

[bold ibex]

i think that fixed it

Does anyone know why it doesn't let me open the Udon graph?

did you click directly on the graph?

I did but it opens something else, no editor or anything

I'm reimporting it right now to double check

when you click on it, it doesn't show this?

I'll double check once it's done importing I'll see if it loads up

kk

Yeah no nothin'

I'm unsure where the error is, it might be from, I feel like it'd U# but I don't know

[south orbit]

did u try right click to re import whatever udon thingie ? did u put in udonsharp before ur udon objects ? they might be missing refferences ?

[bold ibex]

I reimported the project, and what do you mean by U# before Udon?

And there is an error but I'm confused about it, I can show you the log

[south orbit]

so some udon objects can break / miss references if u imported them before u imported udonsharp

[bold ibex]

I imported Udon then U#

[south orbit]

Udonsharp ?

[bold ibex]

Yeh?

Unless I'm not supposed to have both

[south orbit]

i believe u just need udonsharp in order to make udon stuffs work

[bold ibex]

Yeah that's how I did it

Udon then Sharp, but I don't know how to fix it

[south orbit]

udon then sharp ?

this is what i import for my udon stuff to work

[bold ibex]

Still confused I'm sorry if I'm confusing you too

[south orbit]

it has to be imported before the udon stuffs.

otherwise they can miss references / break

[bold ibex]

Should I remove Sharp then reimport it?

[south orbit]

i am not sure what udon and sharp is, i am aware of udonsharp, is it not what u imported tho ?

like what i shown above ^

[bold ibex]

U# + Sharp is just what I've been calling UdonSharp for short

[south orbit]

is it the same as above or nah

doesnt have to be same version ofc, but its same name

[bold ibex]

Yeah

[south orbit]

yeh okay then its odd

[bold ibex]

It the first time I've seen it mess up this bad and it's weird

[south orbit]

so ur main issue is that u cant access udon graph ?

[bold ibex]

Yeah, that's it

I'm able to do everything that's preset like pick-up

That's it though, just anti-Udon graph

[south orbit]

like for me it works just fine

not sure why that button does not show up for u

[bold ibex]

Yeah it's weird

I tested a shortcut and nothin'

[south orbit]

what happens if u re-add the udon behavior ?

does it show like this ?

[bold ibex]

Yeah just like that

[south orbit]

if so u can choose this and hit new program

[bold ibex]

Then I create a graph and so-on

[south orbit]

then it should show like this

[bold ibex]

Then it just 🪦

So I found the issue

I needed to re-import the pkg itself again

Thank you for all the help 🙇

[south orbit]

alright glad to hear 👍

[icy tartan]

Is there any solution to get the Event OnPointerEnter working without needing to press tab?

[stone marsh]

You should never use DoF post processing......

It's absolutely cursed. It's aids in VR. Your depth is calculated from the dead center of your screen so if any tiny thing gets in the way the blur will move, and anything with zwrite off or transparent shaders, won't even be affected by it and will look super jank

Post Processing should only be used for Color correction, and bloom. Nothing else.

Any avatar not writing to depth will not be affected by it regardless of position in world. It's absolutely cursed. Do what you want. But in a game like vrchat it absolutely shouldn't be used

You can blur distance using a grabpass and fog via a screenspace shader on a sphere attached to the player with a bone follower. But again, any avatar not writing to depth will not be affected by it and it will look really bad for a lot of avatars.

[craggy lichen]

Can anyone help fix my sdk issue. It keeps asking me to reload it on the vrchat sdk tab. I tried replaceing it but not sure if I am doing that right. I was trying to update my world to the recent unity build 2019.4.31fl. I also have this a console error that im not sure is related.

[stone marsh]

Post a screenshot of the entire console.

Also, you do have UdonSharp installed, right?

[craggy lichen]

I think I have udon sharp imported correctly. Does it come with the SDK? and here are the errors. idk what im reading ever when it comes to the console. So I tried just googling them but still lost.

oh and when i hit reload on the sdk, it shows this error

[jovial apex]

https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_1e643d2b-97fa-4018-8b16-000796ec5f90

[sacred warren]

Before I start trying to figure out how; would it be possible using Udon to have a button that when pressed, inserted a preset string of text into the start of a text field?

[sacred warren]

No, it's completely unrelated to the official SDK, you need to download and install it manually from the GitHub repo.

[bold ibex]

I'm trying to make a lobby like Murder 4 where after someone presses the start button the entire room goes into the game. I already have a teleport button that teleports the person pressing it and I have the cube in the room that has the trigger collider on

How do I combine the cube and button so everyone gets teleported

[stone marsh]

Looks like you don't have UdonSharp.

[craggy lichen]

Can you tell me how to look it up or send me a link please. I been trying to look myself.

Okay I think I downloaded it but im not sure how import Udon sharp correctly.

[vague pivot]

You should just double click the unitypackage and it'll bring up the menu in the editor

[stone marsh]

You need to download the unity package from GitHub and import that unity package. Do not download a zip or folder or anything like that. This is also important as to why you need to read the instructions because you'd know to install it and a link would have been given to it.

Don't just download random things and shove them into unity without reading the instructions and dependencies

[bold ibex]

Is there a way to change clipping plane in a vrc world?

[stone marsh]

On your main camera, far clip.

[craggy lichen]

Where should I look for the unity package?

[bold ibex]

Ah tyty 🙇

[stone marsh]

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

[stone marsh]

Also, you need to ensure your main camera is referenced in the world descriptor under reference camera. If it's not, it won't use your settings you set on the main camera.

[jolly saddle]

I'm assuming this is the place to get help with pens?

[gaunt egret]

oh no merc another pens

try it in another project first

sdk 3 > udonsharp > qv pens

import in that order

[crisp frost]

i am working on building a world and i want to add a video player into it. in some of the music/movies and chill worlds they have a virtual keyboard to type on so you can search for videos, songs, movies, etc. i am having trouble find out how to add this in. i have the video player in and working and can paste links in just fine. wondering if anyone knows how to get this added so friends can search for any youtube video they want. searched google relentlessly but cant quite find what im looking for.

[jolly saddle]

Yeah

[gaunt egret]

try in new project

import in the order i listed

[jolly saddle]

Thanks so much😭

[gaunt egret]

its no guarantee

[jolly saddle]

No it works now

[wraith mural]

Has the SDK window been changed? I cant find the SDK control panel in the drop down from the tab

[karmic rivet]

Trying to find out how to do world building for VRC- mostly making a VRC avatar world. I wanna set up a mirror and the VRC prefab mirror is not working

[wraith mural]

and now the SDK tab has vanished wonderful

[north siren]

I looked at them all, I have a quest version of the world thats slightly outdated but certainly more up to date than the backup. In the quest version (which was a copy of the PC version) I use a scene titled sample scene and the same scene in the PC project is completely empty (not even the starting camera and light source). I should be able to make a copy of the quest version, switch the build to windows and change all the materials etc and recreate the pc version right?

[cobalt prawn]

99% of the time this is because you have errors in your project that you need to resolve

[cursive tartan]

I'll try.

[wraith mural]

welp, I cleared everything that wasn't an asset, fresh slate, new project, new SDK file fresh from Website...
52 errors

What

[cobalt prawn]

Using the correct version of Unity 2019.4.31f1? Not using URP/HDRP or anything like that?

[wraith mural]

Yup correct unity version

no extra addons or anything

Never had a problem with the old SDK

[cobalt prawn]

Can you post a screenshot of the top of your console?

[wraith mural]

First world I'm trying to upload with the new SDK and such

[wraith mural]

just a min, trying something

[cobalt prawn]

In what way is it not working? I believe the prefab is off by default and comes with a toggle button, are you testing your world in VRchat and pressing the button to make it active?

[karmic rivet]

I can’t test in VRchat like most since I’m using Unity in a MacBook h. If I want to I have to boot up my quest and everything

[cobalt prawn]

Ah. So is the problem just that you can't see it in the editor? Cuz in that case you can just find the child object in the prefab which is the actual mirror, select it and set it to active

[wraith mural]

@cobalt prawn
Sorted, i think there was a download fail on my end, looked at the errors and had a bunch of files missing, so redownloaded SDK and tried again, it's all working xD

Dunno why pc said, oh yeah download was fine, when it clearly hadnt downloaded fine

[cobalt prawn]

Sweet

[karmic rivet]

Hm I’ll have to look and see, do I set to active by just making it say able to be messed with in Unity? Sorry I don’t know terms well

[cobalt prawn]

So you find it in the scene hierarchy, which is the list of objects usually on the left side of the screen. There's a little arrow next to objects which have child objects, you click the arrow and it reveals those child objects. In the mirror prefab there should be an object that is inactive, which you can tell because the text will be faded slightly. Click that object, then on the right you should see its components in the inspector panel. On the very top left of the inspector panel, next to the object's name, is a checkbox which sets it to active or inactive

[karmic rivet]

Mkay, I’ll check later and see if it helps

[wraith mural]

@cobalt prawn my build and test isn't working now? and the publish window isn't opening, any thoughts? there's no errors showing up either

[ruby coyote]

I uploaded a world of mine to VR chat but its only quest compatible, is there a way I can change it to also be compatible with PC aswell?

[wraith mural]

ah is ok, there was an error, just unity derping, all good

[karmic rivet]

Try by Making sure Unity is loaded as a PC build and then upload it again on the same ‘profile’

[ruby coyote]

@karmic rivet Thanks I'll try it out! do I change it at the unity hub?

[karmic rivet]

Do it while the unity project is open, if I remember right you should be able to go to file and change it under build settings

Make sure it’s set to windows

[ruby coyote]

There's options for 'PC,Mac&Linus Standalone' and 'Universal Windows Platform'

[stable tulip]

1st option

[ruby coyote]

To set it to the windows one I have to download more stuff at the hub is this correct?

[stable tulip]

Only pc and android build

[craggy lichen]

any one know how to sort any of these errors? I cannot upload my world, it just ignores me hitting the upload button.

[ruby coyote]

Ah I'll try that thanks :))

[stable tulip]

You may have error script inside your world or in project. Check if UdonSharp is compatible with your VRCSDK

[stone marsh]

You're only showing the last few errors. Hit clear and show the first ones that stay

[ruby coyote]

If I want to make an update on the world in the future, would I have to upload 2 separate worlds then? One for each platform?

[karmic rivet]

Yep, pretty standard for Avatar and world building

[ruby coyote]

Thanks so much :))

[craggy lichen]

okay thank you, i think these are the most recent.

[karmic rivet]

No problem! I’m just used to avatars so I hope that helps- took me a week to figure it out Lmao

[stable tulip]

I only do that when I add or remove some objects. I recommend to keep your hierarchy similar to the other

Otherwise pickup items will become desynced between pc and quest platform

So if you really want to remove something in quest version, just set them inactive and you can also delete components inside. Make sure you have a backup of your world

[karmic rivet]

I guess it was just being weird, loaded it up brand new and it works

[ruby coyote]

Does anyone know how to fix this blank Builder tab?

[karmic rivet]

Sometimes it can take a hot minute to load, check you’re signed in

[ruby coyote]

Yup im signed in

Should I wait for a bit?

[karmic rivet]

Maybe? Sorry I can’t think well about trying to troubleshoot stuff

[stable tulip]

If it doesn't open, restart Unity

[karmic rivet]

Make sure to save

Okay with the mirror- how do I add a toggle for in game?

And for local settings I guess

[stable tulip]

I recommend to check a video on youtube

[round oracle]

anyone have the transparent mirror?

[ruby coyote]

It still doesn’t work.. would you guys have anymore ideas?

Ah I got it to work 🙂 one last question if I upload these separately, will quest users and windows users still be able to meet in the same world?

[craggy lichen]

I'm pretty sure they need the same upload I.D. for that to work.

[karmic rivet]

Have to have same ID, should be in a VRC descriptor on the main / current scene

[ruby coyote]

Sorry Im a bit confused, could you give me a bit more direct instructions?

[versed plover]

when you click on the VRC world prefab, under inspector tab there will be a string of random numbers and letters, copy and paste that from the pc world to the quest one

itll be called build id i think

[ruby coyote]

Ahh Thanks sooo much :DD

Do you know where 'VRC world prefab' is located? Does it come up after I press upload?

[stable tulip]

in "VRChat Examples" Folder

[radiant karma]

@solid dock 🥰😍😘

[hazy plume]

Does anyone know how to get rid of this pop-up or what it means?

If I click Reload, it does nothing, if I click Ignore, it publishes the world but I then can’t enter it once on VRChat

[main hawk]

A question: am wondering anyone tried to make the VRChat world as a copy of a real life world and try to match 1:1 between VR and IRL?

[main hawk]

I found it difficult to align my position and adjust the world size as close to the real life as possible. If anyone have done this what kind of alignment techniques did you try?

[hazy plume]

I did actually. I think it’s still public too.

It’s called Vilagarcia de Arousa based on a real city by the same name but it never got finished

[hazy plume]

Anyway I’m gonna go sleep but if anyone can possibly help me out, I’ll deeply appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

[drowsy umbra]

nvm fixed it

[vocal jetty]

howdy, so im wanting to make terrain in unity an i cant find the terrain tools. theyre not under the unity registry in package manager and theyre not in preview either. it says its built in already but i have no idea how to use it

[vague pivot]

Ik you can find the terrain object under 3D Object -> terrain

[vocal jetty]

ahh awesome thanx

[vague pivot]

np

[analog plover]

Does anyone know why VRChat keeps changing my world name to something else regardless of how many times i tried to edit it?

build and publish

[analog plover]

I uploaded the world for the first time yesterday and it switched the name. Tried editing the name on the website also didn't work

[woeful warren]

Does Someone Know a Scrollable Textbox (For Update info) asset/Prefab that is already setup so i only have to add Text to it.

[dusk sapphire]

this is incorrect, last build means its loads the last thing unity successfully built, and if you have updated your scene since, you would not be uploading the latest version of your content. build and publish is what you use for updates.

[dusk sapphire]

well yes, if you test first, then that is the intended purpose of last build

if you build and test, and you find no issues and want to upload immediately, last build uploads the build that was made when you last hit build and test

hence the term "last build"

if you made any changes since that last build, they will not be applied unless you actually build again

[south rose]

I am trying to setup an video player on an curved object. Any recommendations?
Texture Render seems to be very dark and material overide seems not to work on imported objects??, on cubes it works fine.

I am trying to give an video and kinda 3d effect.

[silk zealot]

What values do yall recommend having for jump and the speeds?

I want people to have like a normal jump

and I want people to be a lil bit faster than normal

[south orbit]

default values then run speed 5 perhaps

[silk zealot]

for run right?

[south orbit]

yes and perhaps strafe 3

[silk zealot]

how do people on quest enable running btw?

[south orbit]

strafe is basicly running sideways

no idea im a index user

[silk zealot]

another question, does the VRC_Event Handler (Script) matter at all?

it got added when I adding the player mods component

[karmic rivet]

Okay question- when using an avatar pedestal is the avatar picture supposed to show in Unity when game scene is active? Or am I just supposed to test in VRC?

[bold ibex]

hi! does anyone know where i can get the city / skyscraper skybox for unity?

[craggy lichen]

Hey, does anyone have an idea why my buttons turn on the mirror in the test build but not the actual world upload?

[south orbit]

no idea but u could consider using lura switches, they are premade and working

[craggy lichen]

oooh I would like to see those. Where can I find them?

[south orbit]

they on booth i believe for free, google lura switches, u should be able to find them

[craggy lichen]

okayy, its just weird how I updated to the recent unity version and i somehow messed up the mirrors.

[south orbit]

might be that the SDK updated some udon graph stuffs that caused that issue

i used to make my mirror toggles from scratch too but lura switches is just so much better tbh

[cerulean echo]

Btw i seeng alote ppl say scratch what is this scratch?

[south orbit]

scratch is a word

basicly from scratch means u make something from the start, like manually entirely

[craggy lichen]

ah I see

[cerulean echo]

o make sence now

[craggy lichen]

Just trying to fix this as soon as possible

[cerulean echo]

I was thinking its a programm lol

[south orbit]

as said lura switches, they include premade mirrors with toggle switch even

[craggy lichen]

yes, thank you so much <3

[south orbit]

np

[bold ibex]

when I try to compile my map I have this message: b but I can't fix it

[stone marsh]

Post a screenshot of your entire console....

[stone marsh]

The entire thing please.

[south orbit]

i had this issue yday converting my world to a quest world and same error happened, it was removed after i removed any udonsharp objects from the world like video players for example aswell as udonsharp from the asset folder

[bold ibex]

I don't find it , Its my second time on unity

[stone marsh]

You cropped out part of it. I just need the entire thing

It's most likely related to a bad import of either udonsharp or qvpens in the wrong order. But I need to see the entire console

[bold ibex]

:o oh

[south orbit]

always import udonsharp before any udon objects, if u have Qvpens example, try right click to reimport, its pretty much what merc says ye

[stone marsh]

It could also be something entirely unrelated though, since I can't see the entire console. But yes.

[bold ibex]

Well, that was the problem; b

[cobalt prawn]

Those damned pens man 🤦🥲

[stone marsh]

Nobody reads instructions lol.

[cobalt prawn]

Well the people who read instructions don't come come here for help 😝

Not as much or with these issues at least

[stone marsh]

You'll most likely need to delete QVPens entirely from your scene and asset folder. Then try reimporting it. If that doesn't work, we'll have to do a full reimport of the sdk, udonsharp and the pens, insuring the correct order and ensuring all are the fully updated and correct versions.

[bold ibex]

Thx for the help

[bronze umbra]

what does this mean

[south orbit]

try save ur project - re open and do it again

[vestal oriole]

I've got a couple of pickup objects in my world. They're just balls that don't do anything. I just updated my world, but I didn't touch these objects. Yet for some reason when I pick them up now they start elongating and freaking out. Idk what's happening or why.

[stone marsh]

You have non uniform scale on the pickup or the parent of the pickup.

The parents of a pickup need to have uniform scale in unity.

[vague pivot]

Does anyone know why my Physics.raycast is returning true despite hit sometimes not having a collider?

Also it seems to be colliding with layers other than the playerFollowLayer despite it being the only one

If it's shooting a raycast at the cyanEmu player, it still returns true despite the player not having a collider on it and hit.collider is null.

It's as if it's hitting something other than a collider which I didn't think was possible.

[rain shadow]

It would be emulating the in game behavior of not being able to return a reference to any player objects

[vague pivot]

But the raycast shouldn't have anything to do with the player objects bc it's only looking for the playerFollowLayer which isn't on the player

[pearl plume]

Anyone know how I can make a moving background like this?

I Don’t want the train to actually move but the background to move around it

Just like a picture of the outside world moving

And would I do this in unity or blender?

[copper compass]

Hihi, I was curious as to what my options are for removing the quest version of a few worlds
As to the reason, A. video player issues B. shader and pipeline reasons
I know I can just re-upload on new IDs but it would take upwards of a month to get everything back in the "public" sphere cuz of the one labs a week thing
If that's the only way then so be it, patience I shall have but I'd rather do it in ways that won't mess with metrics and the lot

[bold ibex]

i want this to enter a URL into the videoplayer as soon as the world is loaded

rather than having a seperate sound source for music

[cobalt prawn]

Select the UdonSyncPlayer, put the url here and check auto play

[bold ibex]

When using iwaSync's Video player can you have more than one audio source? And how is it done-everytime I've tried it will only attach to one audio source at a time.

[cobalt prawn]

I don't know about that video player in particular, but none of the ones I've seen would support multiple audio sources. I'm sure it's possible, but I believe you would need to extend the scripts so that the video player holds references for each audio source, and applies the same code to each one, which probably won't be easy or straightforward if you have limited programming experience

And I'm curious if that's really the solution you want/need anyway- what exactly do you want to do?

[bold ibex]

Ah- for short I'm making multiple rooms but I want the audio to be played from the little radios I've set up. I've re-read some of the things and there's limited information, I'm unfortunately not fully familiar with Udon's scripting

[cobalt prawn]

Sorry, appears I was wrong actually- I took another look and I think the player I use myself (Wolfe player) does support multiple sources 😅

Can you screenshot what the inspector looks like on the player where it references the audio source?

Wolfe player has this section on one of its components, so if I change the circled number here I can drag in more audio sources

[bold ibex]

Unfortunately it doesn't have it

[cobalt prawn]

Bummer. If you really want to use that video player specifically, it wouldn't hurt to find the creator's contact info and kindly suggest/request they add that as a feature 🙂

[bold ibex]

I would but I'm a non-native JP speaker so it'd be difficult
