[cobalt prawn]

Wrong version of Unity. Should be 2019.4.31f1

@bold ibex

So close tho lol

Oh wait I see that's been mentioned already, derp sry

[fresh plinth]

It shouldn't be causing issues like this though

[low gulch]

i have a game suggestion

so like

theres this game on roblox called "plates of fate remastered" and i think its pretty fun

wondering if somebody could make a game like that on vrchat

so everybody gets their own tile (plate) white is a large platform

random events happen such as giving items, spawning meteors ans more

[analog parcel]

Did you wait for it to fully load as sometimes it gives me a null version for the boxes and then populates existing info

[bold ibex]

Other than YouTube, where can I find good music/sound effects

I'm looking for PS1 style sounds/music

[green lagoon]

wouldn't that be audio processing you do on top of your sound

[sullen fiber]

Hello currently working on a world with animations and little confused.

I have 2 animations loaded to the same prop, and when I have 2, it messes up the firsts animations value. Aka the position, but when I have only one animation on the prop, it works fine for both animations. Anyone know how to fix?

[bold ibex]

anone know any stuffed animal plushies I can get?

[bold ibex]

Why didn't I think of that lmfao

[magic orbit]

How do I fix? lol

[sullen fiber]

Anyone got a tutorial on synced animations?

[whole shoal]

i'm trying to change my world build target to android so i can update it on quest, but it keeps freezing up on this specific part of the build target change. what does this mean?

i'm not using any post processing to my knowledge so idk why it's importing that

?????

what does this mean

[bold ibex]

You have committed a federal crime

[whole shoal]

noooooooooo

[bold ibex]

I don't think you can have post proccessing on quest and thats why its stalling on that

Im just guessing though I haven't done this stuff in awhile

[whole shoal]

i'm not even using post processing in the world though

[bold ibex]

oh like at all, ever?

[whole shoal]

not that i know of

and i found the post processing assets and it wont let me delete them

[bold ibex]

are they in your project asset folder or like somewhere else for unity's unity stuff

[whole shoal]

its in the unity stuff i think

[bold ibex]

hm I think its bad if you delete it then

idk

[whole shoal]

i feel like it might be bc i added some prefabs i found on vrcprefabs.com

i added like pens and a clock and a player list but thats it

[bold ibex]

yeah and maybe some came with post processing components on their gameobjects

u could do a search for post processing components

[whole shoal]

lemme check that

[bold ibex]

I forgot how to search for components in the hierarchy but yea

and i think there is like 2 seperate components for post processings

[whole shoal]

uhhh i think im just gonna delete these prefabs since im trying to have an optimized world lol

i unpacked one and was just overloaded with console errors lol

[bold ibex]

ah yeah

[whole shoal]

i just wanted pens in my world ):

[bold ibex]

I would add 1 prefab/package at a time and upload so if things go wrong u know exactly what caused it

it takes more time but it saves troubleshooting time

[whole shoal]

i deleted them all and it worked lmao

so yeah the prefabs were the problem

they were just cosmetic so its fine

[bold ibex]

i had problems with pens when i first used them idk why still to this day

[whole shoal]

problem solved!!

[bold ibex]

just make ur own grabable object with a line renderer or something

thumbs up

[shell wren]

I'm still trying to figure out why my race track's mesh collider is accurate in CyanEmu, but messed up in an actual build. My cars will get launched off the track in specific spots. I've tried:

• Separating the track into separate smaller meshes (which seemed to make it worse somehow)
• Changing the collision detection of the car's rigidbody
• Changing the interpolation of the car's rigidbody
• Changing the cooking options (like 'cook for faster simulation') in the track's mesh collider

Nothing seems to solve it. I'm starting to think it's networking related instead; In the video you can see after the car gets launched, it bounces back down into the track instead of flying up into space. It's like VRchat's networking hiccups and messes up the collision, then tries to correct it. None of this happens in CyanEmu.

Anyone seen something like this before? Kinda at my wit's end for how to solve it

[near escarp]

Does it happen in any spot of the track ? If so, have you tried making a straight line to test it on while looking at the in client console with debugging options enabled on the website for you world to maybe glean more information ?

[cobalt prawn]

How is your track constructed? If it's an array in blender for example, you should make sure it is merging each section with the last, otherwise there may be invisible seams between them where verts are overlapping

[wide viper]

Help I'm confuse for a while that how to make it 3d audio cause rn It like I can hear fireplace sound from everywhere I wanna make we can hear it from fireplace when we near it only

[somber wraith]

is the spacial blend set to 3d? you need to do that

also check the box on the vrc spacial audio " use audio source volume curve"

[shell wren]

It's only specific spots on the track, like the one in the video. I've got other spots that are a straight line and I can tell it's got the same issue. I'll try the world debugging

[near escarp]

Nothing you can see in editor with the physics debugger ?

[shell wren]

It is an array with seams, but it functions perfectly fine in CyanEmu, no car launching occurs. Additionally, I had tried it with all one smooth mesh and I still had the issue

[wide viper]

Thanks it work! I didn't touch unity for so long that I forgot I have to set spatial blend to 3d first😅 tysm

[wild spear]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[shell wren]

Or, I'm stupid and never removed doubles from applying the array. That might have fixed it

[shell wren]

Physics debugger showed me there was a seam right where I launched in that video. Thanks both of you

[cobalt prawn]

Oooo 🙏

Still doesn't explain why it behaves so differently in cyanemu vs VRchat, of course you can never depend on things behaving exactly the same anyway, but man I'd love if we could somehow get more info about the exact discrepancies there

I know Cyan is working on an official client sim that I think is in beta now? I assume it will get closer to 1:1 between client sim and client but wonder to what degree

[near escarp]

There might be some precision error differences between client and editor

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah definitely something like that, it's interesting that it's enough of a difference to make a normally smooth driving vehicle in editor get legit yeeted off of a track in the client though 😂

[harsh wagon]

Could someone help me out with using VRC's audio source system? I can't seem to get the radius settings right

Just taking a screenshot now

[bold ibex]

rodger

[harsh wagon]

I want it so that when you're within 2 metres of the source the volume doesn't change, but after 2 metres it fades to 0

with 6 metres being the limit

I thought this was right but it's not, it fades out very sharply way before 6 metres

[bold ibex]

isnt there like some graph thing that you can plot a curve

I swear

[harsh wagon]

There is, but I'm not using the curve

Normally I would, but I think the VRC system would work better for what I'm doing

[bold ibex]

what vrc system

[harsh wagon]

that bottom box determines whether it uses the curve or not

[bold ibex]

oh the Use AudioSource Volume Curve checkbox

im going to try doing wht ur doing in my own project because I forgot how audiosource stuff works

are u doing it the way without the graphs because u cant figure out how to achieve what you want with the graphs or there is some other integral reason

[harsh wagon]

Graphs don't do the volumetric stuff

the sound always comes from a single point

[bold ibex]

oh dang okay hm this is tuff now

I don't think I can help because I have no concept of what volumetric sound is sorry

[harsh wagon]

regular sound sources are a single point

volumetric sources mean the sounds come from a whole area

[bold ibex]

hm okay

so would a volemetric source that has a radius of 2 sound the exact same as a regular sound source if it was graphed to have constant level of audio noise for the first 2meters

[harsh wagon]

From my understanding, if I'm in that 2 metre radius it should sound like there's no spatialisation either

I tried using the spatial curve because I've used it plenty before, but in this case I can't get it quite right

[bold ibex]

hm

have you tried also modifying the spatial sound curve too

oh wait you said you did

idk this is tricky

[wide viper]

Is this mean player can only join my world using windows right? will it
including vr player too? or only pc player can play my world?

[bold ibex]

both vr and pc

vr is pc for the purposes of this

[green lagoon]

meaning players using the Windows operating system both desktop and VR

[wide viper]

Oh ok

thx

[bold ibex]

i am going to eat rainbow plush alive

at a not to be disclosed future date

[unreal eagle]

I think this is what you're looking for. Make sure you have "Enable Spatialization" unchecked. For example:

-Double click on the volume curve to create a key and choose Edit Values. Set Distance to 2 and Volume to 1.
-Create another key on the volume curve and set Distance to 6 and Volume to 0. You can adjust the roll off of the curves by editing the tangents on either side of the key.

These steps will solve your volume problem. To solve your spatial problem (no spatialization, or make it 2D audio within 2 meters), you can follow the same steps above using the Spatial Blend curve. The values will either be 2D (0) or 3D (1)

[terse terrace]

Do these last three settings do anything in the VRC Portal Maker?

[bold ibex]

Hey Lovelies. I've been developing my world, and I was curious as to see if there was a possible method or support on to make a really small Ball Pit for my world? I'd love to purchase or at least support someone to create the Prefab for me. :) I'm a little new on the scripting side of that, regarding resetting the balls back to where they are supposed to be, along with collisions on players hands, feet, and body?

Similar to how the BallPit World interacts.

[round arrow]

can someone plz help me with layer collision matrixs

[bold ibex]

is audio allowed on quest worlds

actually im braindead why am i not just looking at the docs

[wild ginkgo]

so ive spent a few weeks searching for prefabs and stuff. Have most of the ones I have been trying to find, but does anyone know of a site or repository with a horse racing prefab and a russian roulette prefab? Ive checked a few different sites and no luck

[somber wraith]

yes. why shouldnt it?

[bold ibex]

it's not allowed on quest avatars, and "restricted" isn't very descriptive

[somber wraith]

yeah but not on worlds

[bold ibex]

what are the restrictions on audio sources in worlds

thats all the docs say

[somber wraith]

as far as i know, there arent any in worlds. you just cant go over 100 mb

[dawn rain]

guys do you know any new info about persistent worlds? if they're working on it or such?

[green lagoon]

that's still being worked on and we have no other updates besides that

[kind portal]

what is wrong?

[somber wraith]

in your pubic override void, the vrc palyer api gets referenced and its about the trigger. in your public void, you dont reference the trigger nor the api so you cant do " player.isLocal"

[kind portal]

what can i do instate

@somber wraith

[somber wraith]

instead of:
public void SetActiveObject()

try
public void OnPlayerTriggerExit(VRCPlayerApi player)

that will do that if the local player is outside of the trigger, its false, and once he enters, its active

[kind portal]

i still gives me a error massage

i try it with udon

[kind portal]

im truing to implement atmospheric sound for different rooms but my audio plays always everywhere

[round arrow]

i have werid problem when i uses cyan emu it works fine when i run a build and test it works fine but when i try to build and publish i keep getting these errors everything works tho

[round arrow]

removing everything in the in the registry Editor related to the vrchat sdk worked

doing this work!!

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/sdk-troubleshooting

[frozen prawn]

This is the same project today

[ocean crag]

It may effect the quality but you can attach sound to localized objects

Does anyone have the link to just the simple billiards table? I see sadpandas version but its a little complex for my world and starts to cause lag

[wanton jacinth]

Im doing a youtube tutorial world to get used to blender. My roof is now grouped with a few other objects. I dont know why. The celling and side walls and top floor were all separate at one point and now I cant click on them individually. Any ideas?

[frozen prawn]

someone knows how to create water?

[bold ibex]

this may be the dumbest question ever but how do i enable jumping

[bold ibex]

Strange, jumping normally works automatically when you upload a world without any configuration

Did you upload it yet?

its a test build

I don’t make any test builds, so I don’t known

[bold ibex]

Just publish it and find out

are you sure you know what you're talking about

[bold ibex]

Dude I’ve published a world and the jumping works fine no configurations needed

Don’t question someone who is helping you

well it doesnt for me /shrug

i will question someone giving me advice that is wrong from my current knowledge

being that ive uploaded 2 other worlds and jumping wasn't a thing

[bold ibex]

I’m helping you and you’re acting like this?

You’re an ungrateful bitch

yeah you're ignoring my messages, blocked

youre 570th

[stark fox]

why is my audio playing all over my world and not in just the one place i put it and dose anyone know how to fix it?

[bold ibex]

how exactly were you even trying to help

you just told me that my problem didnt exist twice

[bold ibex]

Ok cool

[stark fox]

can you take your stupid drama into dms please

and also

why is my audio playing all over my world and not in just the one place i put it

[bold ibex]

I don’t really know, apologies. But best of luck in finding someone who can help!

[bold ibex]

is your audio set to 3d

[stark fox]

um lemme check

[bold ibex]

i remember that making a difference on an avatar i uploaded ages ago

proabbly works the same on worlds

[stark fox]

idk bout all that mine looks like this am i using the wrong thing or somthing?

[bold ibex]

im fairly sure the spacial blend should be all the way to the right

[stark fox]

mk 1 sec

mk lemme see if it worked

[gaunt egret]

replace your vrcworld. jumping should be set up already

[bold ibex]

Thank you

I tried to tell them that

[bold ibex]

you didn't?

Yes I did

you just speedran to calling me an ungrateful bitch

[bold ibex]

Read the messages before that

you just told me that if i edit nothing then it'll work fine

[bold ibex]

Which is what I did

[gaunt egret]

yea shrug, they've caused drama before so don't worry. i wouldn't feed into it

[bold ibex]

i havent touched anything yet because im just testing if there's anything immediately wrong

[bold ibex]

Ah, thanks for the heads up dude

you were not very clear

[gaunt egret]

could be a collision issue but mesh colliders don't usually give problems

place vrcworld like

the tiniest bit above your floor

[stark fox]

fixed tytytytytytyy

[bold ibex]

i realize now that i have brain damage

i probably followed a bad tutorial or something and it must've stuck in my head, i was adding the scene descriptor to the main mesh of my world and not using the vrcworld prefab asset

[gaunt egret]

lol

[bold ibex]

sorry about how rude i came off @bold ibex

probably werent expecting me to be as stupid as i was

Ok

[sacred warren]

I'm having an issue wherein I can't type into the UdonSharp video player URL box. Every other part of the video player works fine and it's not locked, but I cannot click into the box to type. I honestly cannot see anything wrong with it that looks different than the default. I've even tried dropping in the original prefab, same issue.

[bold ibex]

is anyone else having problems after updating to the newest worlds sdk?

[wheat stag]

Alrighty, so, I am interested in locating a portable mirror like that midnight rooftop world has. Does anyone know where to find a prefab for such an object or a tutorial on how to create one?

[pure rivet]

Loop ProTV?

[kind portal]

wy does the animation dont worke

[bold ibex]

Any of you know where I can get some plushies for a map?

[mystic tide]

SDK went brrr how can i fix this? works when i export project to a new unity project but not my current one, i've deleted it countless amount of times and even went back to an older sdk :/ nada this is a first for me

[mystic tide]

mine just went brr so I'm assuming mine is having issues too

[stone marsh]

You most likely have errors in your console.

[mystic tide]

ironically not

[sullen fiber]

anyone know how to fix this error?

[raw siren]

how do i make my reflection probe not cause wall reflections be sideways

[sullen fiber]

how to make a Realtime light local in Unity?

[rugged spire]

I don't have any errors in my build, it is below 200mb in size, but when I build/test or publish/test, it stays stuck loading the world, then kicks me back to home world. Any idea what could be causing this? It seems like its random when it decides to load completely.

[pulsar crow]

I'm trying to make audio sources sound more spatialized, but I can't seem to get it right. Either stuff is too quiet or sounding 2D

[pulsar crow]

are you building for quest when your test platform isn't quest

[rugged spire]

No, for PC.

[pulsar crow]

weird

[rugged spire]

This is what came back after trying to build/test again.

[kind portal]

when im starting my door animation only my collider moves, does anyone knew wy?

[dusk sapphire]

did you set the door to static? static objects cannot move

[kind portal]

thanks, it was default and i haven't sow it

[steel hull]

Is there any Type that similar to List<>? because List<> or ArrayList are not available in Udon.

[steel hull]

can we launch 2 test client with different player name ? because I can't tell players who is master or client

[upper obsidian]

You can, read the documentation of the --watch-worlds launch option

[steel hull]

is that means i have to login 2 accounts?

[upper obsidian]

If you need it, then yes.
You start one client with one, on the second you change it after launch.

[rugged spire]

Could having one asset not baked into the lightmap cause the world to not load?

[bold ibex]

importing world SDK3, what do I do?

[steel hull]

why you are using 2019.4.30, the recommended version is 31

[rose surge]

Trying to click this hyperlink from the VRChat website and I'm getting a 404 error code?

[kind portal]

i cant test my world, i use windows 11

[sullen fiber]

So, I just tried to upload a world to pc and it says the cap is 100mb? What?

[stark fox]

anyone know how to fix this.. im trying to switch to android and it just wont let me iv tried downloading the installer from that (open page link)

and after installing it says its in my project but i still cant switch

[stone marsh]

Quest worlds are limited to 100mb.

[stone marsh]

What version of unity did you download?

[stark fox]

anyone know how to fix this?

[silk torrent]

I have a pickup item in my world but when I pick it up it snaps to my hand is there anyway to disable it

[bold ibex]

whenever i hit the dropdown menu on my vrcscene descriptor it shows nothing. even after reimporting it. what do I do?

[hexed sage]

Question: In some Worlds, the PhysBones and Contacts Debug Overlay can show up in some Mirrors depending on what layers is set. Would anyone happen to know which sorting layer that the PhysBones/Contacts Debug UI is assigned to?

[stark fox]

anyone know how to fix this.. im trying to switch to android and it just wont let me iv tried downloading the installer from that (open page link)

and after installing it says its in my project but i still cant switch

[silk torrent]

Figured it out was using gun instead of grip

[sacred warren]

Did you install the Android SDK in Unity via the Hub?

[stark fox]

yea well kinda

[worldly hull]

How do you render japanese text with unity? They appear like boxes. Using TextMeshProUGUI

[stone marsh]

You need a Japanese font

[worldly hull]

Noto Sans JP wasn't good enough :(

[stone marsh]

You can generate a custom font texture using a tool with tmp

[worldly hull]

Do I need to specify the unicode ranges?

[stone marsh]

Need to copy/paste all the jp you want to use into it

[worldly hull]

oh

I did it

[shell wren]

I've read that you can't use 3D spatial audio sources with Audio Reverb Zones, is that still the case?

[harsh wagon]

Weird question, do players spawn at 0,0,0 for a split second when they join a world?

[pearl plume]

Would anyone know of a good plane model/script that I would be able to remodel and use?

[white moon]

Plane, like a flat surface, or a aeroplane?

[pearl plume]

Aeroplane/Aircraft

[whole shoal]

they shouldn't, i dont think? players should always spawn wherever you place the spawn point

tho i believe the default spawn is 0,0,0 if u dont change it

[austere hull]

is it possible to restrict user from moving or looking around

[green lagoon]

that would be very nausea-inducing to lock their head rotation

[austere hull]

okay not head movement but rotation by controller

to use it for menu instead

[green lagoon]

I suggest finding a menu setup that doesn't require overriding basic controls

[stone marsh]

Yes. Players will be at 0:0:0 while loading the world. They can typically be seen when in this state for a brief second before they appear at the spawn point when their screen fades from black.

[harsh wagon]

I have an audio source in my world there, that would explain why I hear it for a split second

[stone marsh]

Yeppers

[old crow]

Using the new VRC toolbox I setup a thing

Nothing is there

I've even reloaded unity

[modern kayak]

you probably have a bunch of errors in the console, should give more information about what's wrong

[cobalt prawn]

What version of Unity is that? Should be on 2019.4.31f1

[old crow]

mhm

[gaunt egret]

use vrcworld prefab for the scene descriptor, not sure about the errors

[gaunt egret]

its not a component

its an asset

[old crow]

aint no prefab

Its the new thing.

[gaunt egret]

i am aware. if you have the worldsdk you still have the prefab

[old crow]

I don't though :/

[gaunt egret]

assets --> vrchat examples --> prefabs

[old crow]

I got nothing liek that.

[gaunt egret]

im pretty sure the toolbox is still in beta or whatever its called. make a new project and drag and drop the worldsdk first then all of your assets

[old crow]

Alright.

[kind leaf]

if vrcworld is included you will not find it by searching your assets... All vrc stuff is in Packages* now. (Creator Companion)

[old crow]

Is in what?

[gaunt egret]

i just put the latest world sdk into unity. my image is still accurate

[old crow]

Still nothing

:/

It gives me

are you fuckin

it gives me udon examples

[gaunt egret]

uh screenshot?

[modern kayak]

the DLL's are in packages but prefabs and examples are still in assets. Should be in samples iirc

[vivid wagon]

anyone know what would cause someone to not be able to load into a world at all?
I can load in to the "build and test" client to test this world but when I try in VRChat proper it just brings me back to my homeworld

[tropic arrow]

Are u on quest?

I know if a world uploads and it is over the world size limit 100mb for quest it sends u to your home instead

Other than that I have no idea unless there is something breaking on the upload but it should say in the Console

Ohh there is another thing that I had issues is was having things in the hierarchy that shared same path aka same name this wasn't a issue on pc but quest side would always send u back to your home world

[cerulean echo]

If its over 100 mb you schould not can upload it normaly

For quest ofc

[tropic arrow]

There has been cases multiple actually where this has been the case especially on older quest worlds 2.0

Encounter quite a few on the last 2 years

[cerulean echo]

no idea maybe he should try to download the worldtool to see if the tool can help him

Maybe he got 2 pipelines or samthink

[tropic arrow]

It's more likely objects share the same path aka same name ez to do especially using pro builder, never heard of getting 2 pipelines unless they added another component but that's highly unlikely

[cerulean echo]

you never know what sobody doing best is world toolkit and maybe the tool can find the problem

[tropic arrow]

🤷‍♀️

How is that relevant to this channel

Not the place for it

Sorry

No sorry

Nothing personal but i don't know u sorry, hope u feel better soon

[cerulean echo]

😶

[tropic arrow]

<@&397642795457970181>

[vivid wagon]

no, PC

[tropic arrow]

I see, then check the assets in hierarchy doesn't share the same name as each other

Also look in your console after uploading on android if there is a issue usually where u will find the reason

[vivid wagon]

its not on android yet

[tropic arrow]

I see

Actually same path shouldn't be to much a issue on pc side usually and Idk the link to the tool for worlds

👀

[cerulean echo]

So no quest try the tool

[vivid wagon]

https://github.com/Varneon/WorldCreatorAssistant this?

[dusk sapphire]

the most common cause of this is having multiple pipeline manager's in your scene, if you can build and test but not load when its uploaded

[tropic arrow]

<@&397642795457970181> @nocturne thorn is guilting me with threats of suicide

[vivid wagon]

how would I check and fix this?

[tropic arrow]

Broooo

Seriously

[dusk sapphire]

I'd recommend grabbing https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit which checks for a lot of common issues including this

[tropic arrow]

I'm not even going there bye

[vivid wagon]

also having multiple gameobjects called "target" doesnt hurt does it?

[dusk sapphire]

you can also just search for pipeline managers in your scene hierarchy with t:pipelinemanager

no, having same paths will not cause you to fail to load into a world

those are different paths anyway

[cerulean echo]

Thx temp i would have send him but i am on the tablet is hard here 🙂

[vivid wagon]

downloading world toolkit rn

[dusk sapphire]

you need to type the full thing

[tropic arrow]

Poggies

[dusk sapphire]

yeah, you have 2

i'm guessing your actual one is the vrcworld prefab

so delete the pipeline on rat race

[cerulean echo]

see i know it lol

[vivid wagon]

remove component?

[dusk sapphire]

is this a world that hasn't been uploaded before?

[vivid wagon]

its been uploaded as private

[dusk sapphire]

well, actually just remove that pipeline manager

[vivid wagon]

like i said before, the test client works but going in in the actual VRC client does not

[dusk sapphire]

check if the pipeline manager on vrcworld has the same id

[vivid wagon]

they do not

[dusk sapphire]

and see if it's the same as the uploaded world in your vrcsdk panel under content manager

[vivid wagon]

the one on VRCWorld prefab matches the one in the control panel

[dusk sapphire]

you're good to go then

just remove the one on rat race

[vivid wagon]

works now, tysm

another question though, do you mind helping me in #world-lighting ?

[dusk sapphire]

depends, If its something I can answer quickly sure but I don't have the time to walk you through something complex, only dropped in here because I knew the solution to your current problem was a quick one

[bold ibex]

How would one make bouncy floors? I want to make a climbing room. And have trampoline floors to land on?

[rugged spire]

Everything seems to be working just fine, but I can't get it to load in test build or live build. Is there something I'm missing?

[gleaming tartan]

Hello Everyone. Hope ya'll are doing great. I'm curious. I'm working on a world rn and I'm planning to build some Private Rooms and a separate upstairs. now I was wondering if there is a way to make those in there own Scene and call them when trying to teleport to them. since I want to avoid that ppl easy enter those rooms with playspace mover or other means of nocliping. or is that idea not possible? I've seen like "Private Room" features in several maps like "Just B Club" or "Sovrens Chill Home" secret Room.

[tardy bobcat]

I'm new to world development. Is there a difference if I'm making worlds for the oculus version or the pc version. I use my pc version through steam. but many of the tutorials seem to be assuming im on oculus. Is there anything I should read or be aware of in difference?

[unkempt turtle]

if you mean both PCVR (Steam VS Oculus Store on PC), then no

if you mean PCVR vs Standalone, then yes. Standalone requires a lot more optimization due to the inferior hardware

does anyone know a good script to change a model's size with a slider

[versed jungle]

Hey does anyone know if there is a speech recognition script that works in vrchat?

I was planning on creating a world with speech triggered events

[stone marsh]

There's no way to get spoken audio data from a user in a world.

[lament iris]

Hey guys. I am in need of help here. I am making a VRC world, I have this airplane that uses animations to move around, but when I build my world, the animation does not play in the game. I even made a script that forces it to play, but it does not do anything.

[stone marsh]

You're using a deprecated method that's no longer supported.

You need to use an Animator

[lament iris]

Woah.

[stone marsh]

What version of unity are you using too? Also looks outdated

[lament iris]

It's 2019, the latest SDK that is for making new content.

[stone marsh]

2019.4.31f1? I was just confused because it defaults to dark theme now so just wanted to be sure.

[lament iris]

Lol. I use light theme because I am god.

[stone marsh]

Lol regardless. If you have issues let us know. But yeah. You need to use an animator. The Animation component in your screenshot is deprecated and won't work in vrc.

Hi, anyone knows what is this?

and idk what happend now that i dont see the vrchat panel to upload my world

https://prnt.sc/Zm-F75Etjjlq

[lament iris]

You know what. There is "controller" and "avatar". I'm just trying to animate a god damn aircraft to move in a simple pattern. I'll just turn it into a rigidbody attached to a spring joint, add some other things and code some slight forces to it. This is ridiculous.

[stone marsh]

Wat.

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

[lament iris]

Nope. I am a scientist. My methods always works. If I can see the effects directly through physics, then I am happy.

[stone marsh]

[lament iris]

It works! Instead of animations, the aircraft uses physics to move!

ah yeah that

[bold ibex]

Situation is weirder. The glitch only happens after I move my camera while they are baking

[sullen fiber]

help

[lament iris]

Well. It seems like physics joints are not allowed in VRChat worlds. Neither are scripts that add a force to the rigidbodies.

Well, upon experimentation. The joints work, but I am unable to add my own scripts to the airplane. It's in C#. Is that incompatible?

[stone marsh]

Yes..... They are....

[stone marsh]

No. We use Udon. You can use UdonSharp which is a C# compiler for Udon

[lament iris]

Ah.

How do you even use that? What is the process?

[stone marsh]

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

[lament iris]

Ah, thanks. Now. Once I have unzipped it, where do I put it? In the "Assets" folder of my unity project?

[stone marsh]

Unzip? No

You downloaded the wrong thing and didn't read any documentation

[lament iris]

This is what I downloaded.

[stone marsh]

Read.... Documentation....

You downloaded the wrong thing

This is also just a compiler. You'll need to alter your script to be U#

[lament iris]

U# ?

[stone marsh]

UdonSharp

[lament iris]

I am rubbing my face so damn hard right now. Ok. So if this is how hard it is going to be to code a simple goddamn thing in my Unity world. I'll just use joints and physics objects. No scripts, nothing. Just basic tools. Jesus christ.

[stone marsh]

Just because it's not familiar to you, doesn't mean it's hard. It's just new/different to you. Using Udon Graph sounds like a better spot for you, as it's more new user friendly. If you're not familiar with writing C# then U# isn't going to be the easiest thing to write for if there's not a pre made script already out there for you.

[lament iris]

I have used Unity for 7+ years. And every year, there's a new coding language. I have to learn the new one, and then the old one gets deleted. And now I have to use a specific coding thing for VRChat aswell? "Udon-whatever". A human does not have this much brainpower, unless you are a nerd.

I just wanted to make a damn thing move from point A to point B!

[stone marsh]

U# is a C# compiler. C# has been around for 23 years...

Either way. Good luck

You can also do that entirely with just an Animator like I initially suggested, no joints, no nothing. Just a animator.

That way you wouldn't need to figure out what a unity package is or how to deal with GitHub stuff.

It's all just a learning process. Once you learn it, it's very easy to work with unity. But just try and not think of not knowing something as being hard, because what you're trying to do is trivial, it's just unfamiliar.
Good luck

[gritty steeple]

im not sure if this is the right place to send this but can anyone help. i was just about to publish a world that i made then it gave me this error msg

also when you answer pls @ me incase i miss it

[inland cave]

Sometimes it will randomly fail, try a couple more times to see if itll work? Other than that you need to look in the Console window and inspect any errors.

[sullen fiber]

Anyone understand why its doing this?

[rugged spire]

Anyone know how to fix these warnings? I'm not sure how to resolve them and I think this might be the reason why my world fails to initialize when attempting to test or run in VRChat.

[whole plover]

is there a way to add footsteps in to your world on different surfaces such as water etc?

[obtuse holly]

hello, i am trying to do a world for small avatars, but it seems like it does not matter the size of the avatar, they still collide on the roof (like capsule size did not changed), this is where i cant move forward to the sides, and there is a lot of space before hittingthe roof, any idea how to solve this?

[bold ibex]

How would I make a platform bouncy like a Trampoline for players?

[vagrant shale]

I haven't tested this but I think if you just put a box with a collider marked as a trigger and add an udon behaviour like this, it should work, I think.

Though I think you'd also want to reset it on trigger exit or else they'll stay bouncy.

[vagrant shale]

I've had issues with this as well. Not sure if there's a way to adjust the height of the collider on an avatar but you could just disable the collider on the roof or offset the collision so it only impacts avatars that are actually clipping through.

[obtuse holly]

if tthis is a common issue then yeah maybe collision capsules do not change height regardless of avatar size, i just made invisible "standard box" colliders instead

[vagrant shale]

I think they do change but there might be a lower limit. I was working on some caves and regardless of how insanely small the avatar was and how much clearance they seemed to have, the cave just had to be a certain size for any avatar to get through but even then taller avatars seemed to have more trouble so I think it does vary.

[bold ibex]

Ahhh I see, thank you ever so kindly! :O

See, I'm making a little game room, simple. With climbing walls right.

So if a player jumps OFF the wall.

And land on the floor.

They can bounce to another wall.

:)

Like WEEEEE. /o/

I just need to figure out a means of wall grabbing now. >_>

[vagrant shale]

Sounds fun, a bounce house is always good fun unless you get motion sick then maybe not so much.

[bold ibex]

Of course! I intend to place a warning for users.

[vagrant shale]

That I can't help with but check out the prefabs database if you haven't, I think they might have something like that.

[bold ibex]

I did see yeah. :)

Thanks so much for the collision assistance. I was so confused. Let me test that in a blank room in the World Tool Kit Preview.

[vagrant shale]

Oh and you'll want to connect the arrow output to the arrow input as well. Don't think it will run otherwise.

[bold ibex]

Course lemme code that in. :) And will it deactive after users leave the floor? Or were you saying there was a glitch with that? D:

[vagrant shale]

It won't but if you add this to the program as well, it should.

[bold ibex]

Ooooo.

[vagrant shale]

And make sure you set the impulse value appropriately, of course. The default value should be in VRCWorld

I would check but I have mine set to 0 in my world because I'm a sadist. I also don't have any mirrors 😱

[bold ibex]

Awww. I have a few mirrors. I managed to get light baking down to a T, and I feel happy I optomized my world. :D

I've been learning you see. And it came out of Labs yesterday.

\o/

Krampus, I'm a newb, are you able to write the script out and save it as a prefab for me to apply? I'm a dork and I feel I'd mess this up. XD

Udon is still new terf for me. I managed to make teleporters by a tutorial, and so forth LOL.

I love to learn, and I just want to make sure I do things right for my users to enjoy. :)

[vagrant shale]

Sure, I think this should work. Otherwise all you have to do is take your box with the collider marked as "is trigger," then press the spacebar to pull up the search and search for "onplayer" then find the "onplayertriggerenter" and "onplayertriggerexit" nodes, then drag out from the VRCPlayerApi player output and in that box, search for Jump and find the "SetJumpImpulse" option, then connect the arrow output to the arrow input. If this works, you should just be able to set up the box with the trigger collider and then add an udon behaviour component and drag this file in. I haven't done this particular thing before so I can't guarantee it will work but it should in theory.

Oops, sorry, I think I goofed.

[bold ibex]

Thank you for the explanation, I learned how to do those shortcuts. So I will practice with your description. So thank you so so much for your time and help. :)

I like to learn and try myself ya know? So having you explain helps me get better!

[vagrant shale]

Try this one, I think I was editing the wrong program

Sure, happy to help, it can be hard to find good tutorials but I'd recommend checking out Vowgan and Akalink on Youtube if you haven't, they're pretty good.

[bold ibex]

So lets say my flat floor there is the bounce platform for colliding.

Like a Trampoline flat thing, ye.

Implement your Udon Behavior?

[vagrant shale]

I'd create a new box with the same length and width but with a lot of height, otherwise they're going to exit the collider when jumping and have their jump height reset which might not be a problem but better to just make it really tall. Then turn off the mesh renderer on the cube so it isn't visible and mark the collider as "is trigger" so the program works and it doesn't act like a normal collider that will stop you from entering the area.

[bold ibex]

Okay, lot of height, gotcha.

[vagrant shale]

Then add an Udon beahviour component and drag the Bounce House asset into the program field. Make sure it's set to Udon Graph and not one of the other options.

[bold ibex]

Yep. Like dis.

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, that's the old one that isn't the script you want, the new one should just have the 2 nodes.

[bold ibex]

Oh DUH sorry ye.

Lemme do what you said ye.

[vagrant shale]

And you don't want the collider on the actual ground plane or it will only activate when they're in contact with the ground and then disable. That's why you have the invisible box.

[bold ibex]

Oops. o3o

I get it noooww.

[vagrant shale]

I'd' just make the box massive in its height, you want the effect to be going so long as they're anywhere above the ground plane so you just have to worry about making sure the box has the same dimensions in length and width

It doesn't have to be perfect, just generally.

[bold ibex]

Ohh I see.

I was confused with the scripting bit since I'm new to that.

But like dis?

Following yo thingo.

( I am rather dumb so don't mind me. >_> )

I do apologize if I'm really stupid. XD

It's a major learning curve for me. \o/

[vagrant shale]

That's how I would do it, yeah. Just make sure you set the value appropriately. Right now it's set to 0 so they'll be completely unable to jump when entering the trigger box. Which I guess would at least let you know it's working but is not the desired effect.

[bold ibex]

So lets say. I set it to 1?

[vagrant shale]

I don't actually know what the default value is so that might still be less than the default

[bold ibex]

Hmmm. I can test until I find.

[vagrant shale]

You should be able to check it by finding VRCWorld in the hierarchy and then looking for the impulse value in there in the inspector

[bold ibex]

Also, even though it does have a interactive collider, aka, physical box. I still go through lol.

Ye I will check!

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, that's what the trigger toggle is for, it makes it so you can walk through it but it can still do stuff while you're inside of it.

[bold ibex]

Impulse is 4.

So I'd need to exceed the value I get ya.

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, I'd try 8 and then set it to 4 on player trigger exit

[bold ibex]

OH YES

I need to attach

to the exit ye?

From what particular one? Middle?

[vagrant shale]

Or you can try 50 just to be real sure but you might not come back down to Earth very quickly

[bold ibex]

After the impulse arrow to the exit?

LOL

SPACE

Is a major embaressed newb.

I told you I'm learning. :P

Wears dunce hat.

[vagrant shale]

Nah, just set it up like you did the first one, just copy and past the set impulse node and hook it up to the on trigger exit node but with the value set to 4 instead of 8.

I don't know a whole lot myself and what I do know, I learned from other people showing me so you're good.

[bold ibex]

So, copy and paste Impulse node, gotcha.

And thennnn, hook it to the trigger exit... ? Ye

?

[vagrant shale]

Yup, just like you did with the on trigger enter node, the two aren't connected to each other, separate events.

[bold ibex]

this is

probably

completely wrong

XD

X_X

[vagrant shale]

That's good, just make sure you hook up the api output like you have on the top one.

[bold ibex]

But I appreciate your time to help me learn!

[icy shadow]

My unity is stuck on this

been here for nearly 30 minutes

[bold ibex]

ye

[vagrant shale]

Yup

[bold ibex]

\o/

SO

IN THEORY

iffff

a player interacts with said block now

a possible jump ?

[vagrant shale]

Have you tried restarting Unity? That usually does it.

[icy shadow]

I... think I did

I actually cant remember

[vagrant shale]

If they jump while inside the invisible box, yeah, should do.

In theory.

[icy shadow]

i guess giving it another go wouldn't hurt

[bold ibex]

OHH I SEEE

Again oops.

[vagrant shale]

You're making the bots mad. You don't want to make the bots mad.

[bold ibex]

Hmmmm

Make it invisible.

Ye?

It may not work in my tester.

May need to go like test world mode stage thingy.

[vagrant shale]

Turn off the mesh renderer component on the box to make it invisible.

[bold ibex]

Yeah

Ill try once more. So within the boundary. Shall I try it in a test/build world instead of in program or?

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, I would build to test it. You could also try onplayertriggerstay instead of enter but that should work.

[bold ibex]

I shall try build test real quick. :3

I do appreciate the help. ^^

[vagrant shale]

Sure, hopefully it works out. If not, well hopefully you learned a little something in the process anyhow.

[bold ibex]

It did not. XD

But that's okay. :P

I'll try your other on player triggerstay.

[vagrant shale]

Damn, well here's a setup from Vowgan that might work better, you should just be able to connect the true branch to the set impulse node

[bold ibex]

The stay worked!

The stay wooorkkkeddd.

It yeeted me.

:D

\o/

[vagrant shale]

Ah, cool, good to know. I think that should handle both states so it should reset after you leave.

[bold ibex]

Even with the mesh render on, which is kinda what i want.

I want people to see the actual mesh floor so they know where to land.

Like how you see a trampoline room.

thank you so so so much Krampus!

I shall provide credit in my world for your support. I like to credit those that help me develop my worlds to what they become.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/25/9f/45/259f45f9b80d2312b95da728a3d013c2.jpg Like this.

I like to see where people can jump and land.

[vagrant shale]

That's why you keep the trigger separate from the actual model that represents where the bounciness is but if it works, then cool. I appreciate it, you don't have to do that but if you're so inclined then I appreciate the shout out.

[bold ibex]

100% will shout you out!

You helped me learn! ^^

As a builder I love to learn and make things for people. :D

[vagrant shale]

I'm sure Vowgan's way is better but sometimes good enough is good enough, glad you got it working. That same basic idea should work for all sorts of things so you can activate doors when people enter triggers, activate items, all that stuff.

Here's his video on triggers, worth a watch to get a better feel for how they work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QSbuwij_Xc

[bold ibex]

Listed you in the script as well, so I know!

It is a FNAF themed world, but I wanted a 'Game Room'. A simple room open space.

So people can bounce from platform to platform.

I wonder if... there is a way to trigger that if they land, it bounces them automatically?

Without the need to hit space?

[vagrant shale]

I don't think I've seen that in bounce houses before but people do some wild stuff in Udon so it's probably doable. Wouldn't know which direction to point you in for that one.

[bold ibex]

I getcha yeah. :D

You were correct about the thickness as well.

I need to make it thicker for it to be reactive.

[burnt bison]

How can I open a portal in the same world?

[mossy lotus]

[onyx escarp]

Try the unity asset store. They have some good models. Otherwise I can also recommend a site like turbo squid. (May need to credit the author's tho)

[karmic laurel]

Im really not looking to post this project anywhere, just to practice and make something fun for myself,
If that helps what im looking for really are models from the game "Nier:Automata"
or more specifically "Emil's Memories" Room

[uncut crown]

Hey can maybe someone help me i trying to creat a new world wit an usharpvideo player and the audio quality is a total mess i dont understand why. it sounds like a telephon wit crackling and no bass

[stone marsh]

Hard to really make any informed guesses so here's a blind shot.

Description kinda sounds like what happens when there are too many audio sources playing.

Unity can only handle so many active sources before audio breaks down.

When this occurs audio tends to get very choppy and compressed with some things cutting in and out rapidly.

If you have a lot of active/playing audio sources try disabling these.

If this isn't the case. Then idk. Would need more information.

[lofty zealot]

can someone help me out? Im trying to make an avatar world but when I import the SDK3 for worlds, it tells me I need to update the UI. In which I click "I made a backup, go ahead!"

In which the sdk files show up in the project

but the actual sdk build panel doesnt show up

Ive never made a world project before so idk what wrong

any help would be appreciated

[real cairn]

Why my materials are looking all black when I select a VRC Mobile shader? That is not happening with the Default Unity Standard

[remote bobcat]

vertex colors

u need remove them in blender

[whole shoal]

what types of sound files can i add to my world? i want to add a specific song that i download in an mp3 format

[broken tundra]

Usually ull use wav

[whole shoal]

nvm, i was pretty easy to just convert it to a wav file in audacity : ]

[cerulean echo]

Why you would add wav i never useng wav mp3 is better why would sobody wand more size of hes world

[vagrant shale]

Sound quality would be the most obvious reason but the trade off doesn't seem worth it, especially if you're developing cross-platform so I would tend to go with mp3s.

[left rain]

Unity compresses incoming audio. Using WAV as your source file just guarantees you're starting with something uncompressed. If you start with mp3 you're already losing signal quality, and then compressing again using vorbis/pcm/etc.

it's like saving a jpg over and over again. better to start with a perfect signal and handle compression only in unity.

that said, converting an mp3 to a WAV does you no good. it's like taking a compressed JPG and saving it as RAW or EXR... you're not going to get any information back. you already lost that.

[near escarp]

I wonder if there's a significant filesize consideration between the two though, post compression

[left rain]

it's worth benchmarking for sure, but i'd suspect sizes would be pretty similar and signal quality loss would be worse from compressing twice

[real cairn]

Thank you so much

[devout stratus]

Howdy friends, just a quick question. Any idea why jumping would be disable on a newly made world?

[stone marsh]

Failed to add the player movement script or didn't add jump impulse control to your movement script.

[graceful plover]

How open and large can you make a VRChat world

Obviously nobody is going to try, but I want it to appear as if you could keep going and going without it looking like it stops, how large can I make like a cube in unity

[devout stratus]

Is this something that is added by default from the SDK? Should I reload the sdk?

[vagrant shale]

There are some really big maps out there and I think the limit you tend to run into is scene size and performance. There might be some limit but it has to be pretty massive.

[vagrant shale]

I assume you have VRCWorld in your scene? What is the jump impulse set to there?

[devout stratus]

I’ll take a look when I can, and I will get back to you, thank you.

[green lagoon]

after a certain size you'll have to deal with floating Point Precision errors which I have seen some maps counteract doing Shenanigans to keep resetting the 0 to make like Maps the size of a full O'Neill cylinder at 8 Kilometre-by-32 Kilometre

[graceful plover]

What's that in unity, 8000x32000?

I made this floor cube 1000 0.08 1000 should that be okay?

[green lagoon]

one unit in unity is a meter

[graceful plover]

Would you know how far it has to be to have the appearance that it doesn't stop?

[green lagoon]

I'm not quite sure what kind of thing are you trying to actually do

[graceful plover]

Just want to make it so it doesn't look like there's an edge

I just started

[left rain]

try using fog to blend the ground plane in with your skybox. strategically placing geometry along the horizon also helps... you want to hide the fact that your skybox is a skybox.

[stone marsh]

Add fog and reduce far clip

[stone marsh]

Yes. Faster tip taps than me lol

Fog is very cheap and great at hiding the edge of the far clip

[green lagoon]

probably a good idea to have some geometry in the background so it's not perfectly flat like that

[left rain]

you could also attempt a virtual skybox but this takes some technical know-how to implement

[stone marsh]

Lots of options. Lol.

Either way, really really large objects isn't ideal, especially on quest, where having a large far clip can cause immediate FPE even with smaller ratio for the far and near clip

[green lagoon]

and honestly probably just cheaper to just have some mountains so you don't need that big line-of-sight

[green lagoon]

like what do you want the map to look like when it's done

[graceful plover]

I mean there's a difference between what I want it to look like, and what it will look like

I want it to be like a shed with a car out the front and a bit of a driveway and some trees and plants outside

[green lagoon]

okay but that doesn't answer what you would be doing with the background of it as those are the foreground elements

and how big do you want the actual playable area to be

as there's a bunch of tricks you can use if you're not going to have people wandering around in the background

[graceful plover]

I hope this helps idk

I want the spawn location to be at the end of a dirt driveway and you end up at the shed

The playable area is just like everything inbetween the trees

[green lagoon]

the road curvature would be helpful for blocking lines of sight

[graceful plover]

Oh it doesn't have to be exactly like this or anything, I just needed an image because unless you've been to Victoria, Australia, everyone assumes it's just like flat orange desert like a cartoon

[graceful plover]

Okay yeah I see, anything past a certain point can be 2d textures instead of placing realistic 3d models hundreds of metres away yeah?

That would be inaccessible anyway because of bounding boxes right

[green lagoon]

yes

as past a certain difference you wouldn't be able to tell in the VR headset

[graceful plover]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I haven't started modelling any trees or whatever yet

[green lagoon]

so you could have like 2d cutout trees be a distance away and like half the size to imply they're twice the the distance away

[graceful plover]

Is there a guide like that

or like the name of what it's called so I can research how to do that

[green lagoon]

rough diagram of how I would imagine the map

you could also substitute the 2D trees for like Hills going up blocking line of sight

[stone marsh]

I'll put this on the fridge.

[green lagoon]

glad you like

examples of raising the ground to block line of sight

[graceful plover]

Here you go

I've used the terrain tool in Unity before, is that recommended for VRChat worlds

I hope it makes sense @green lagoon

[green lagoon]

it can work okay in vrchat Unity the terrain tool & Excellent diagram

[graceful plover]

The road cuts off because the bounding boxes won't let you get close enough to see that it does cut off you know?

[green lagoon]

yup

[graceful plover]

The sesh Shed itself is something I should do in Blender, but what about the rest of it

[green lagoon]

you would probably want to be assembling the overall level layout in Unity mostly using blender to make assets

[graceful plover]

Sorry, just worked 8 hours lol

[green lagoon]

no biggie

very soon I'll be away from computer so I couldn't help out hopefully this is enough to point you in the right direction

[graceful plover]

I reckon

Would you like updates

[green lagoon]

sure

but don't feel obligated to

and in general grabbing reference material and like Doodles like that are quite helpful

[devout stratus]

Where would i find the Jump Impulse setting?

[cobalt prawn]

If you used the VRCWorld prefab, it would be on that prefab along with the Scene Descriptor and Pipeline Manager. If not, I think you might need to add a World Settings component to your scene manually. Or just delete whatever Scene Descriptor you already have and use VRCWorld prefab instead

[cobalt prawn]

That's the correct component yes. It needs to exist in your scene though

[devout stratus]

i think it is?

[cobalt prawn]

Can you show the entire inspector? It should be right underneath this. Here's what mine looks like

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, that ain't right

I'd delete VRCWorld and try dragging it back in. If that doesn't work, you can look for the script in Jason's image and drag that into the program source manually

[devout stratus]

ok

[vagrant shale]

It's a wonder that's all that's wrong if you're missing that.

[devout stratus]

new one added from scratch

why is it shaowing a different unity version?

[vagrant shale]

Looks like it got borked somehow. Try searching for the VRCWorldSettings program in your files and drag that in or you could reimport the SDK

[cobalt prawn]

Idk why that part of the prefab wouldn't have come loaded already, unless you tinkered and removed it without knowing what you were doing. But ya loading World Settings into the program source should do the trick.

[visual tartan]

I am so happy something like this discord server exists, Imma have so many questions tonight lol

[vagrant shale]

Do you have the latest version of the SDK because that is strange?

[devout stratus]

so, reinstall the VRC SDK?

[vagrant shale]

You could try dragging in the program first and maybe just rename the unity version to the correct one but the fact that it's wrong makes me think something is up. When did you download the SDK?

[devout stratus]

yesterday

VRCSDK3-WORLD-2022.06.03.00.03_Public

[graceful plover]

Hmm, updated 4 days ago

[vagrant shale]

Interesting. Well, it's up to you but you could try dragging in the program first and then reinstall if that doesn't work.

And I'd rename the unity version to what is listed in the pipeline manager in case that matters. I assume you're using the correct version because it looks right in the pipeline manager.

[graceful plover]

What's something you would like to ask c:

[visual tartan]

My first question involves Unity versions, do I have to use a VERY specific version? Because the version that's mentioned on google for world building, is completely pink when I install and open it

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, you need to use the specific version VRChat uses. Everything being pink probably means you're using incompatible shaders, possibly shaders not built for the standard pipeline.

[devout stratus]

re-installed it, and i am thinking i might just have to scrap it

[vagrant shale]

If they don't need to be exotic, I would just change the shaders to standard shaders

[devout stratus]

still can't jump

[vagrant shale]

Have you tried dragging in the program into the program source?

[visual tartan]

Krampus will you be around in like, 3-4 hours?

[vagrant shale]

Yeah

[visual tartan]

I might request to have you jump into a VC so I can show specifically what's going on haha

[devout stratus]

where can i find VRCWorldSettings?

[vagrant shale]

I can do that. A screenshot might be sufficient but if not.

[devout stratus]

oh nvm, found it

[visual tartan]

I wonder if I can track it down. I might have sent it to a couple of friends on discord, the Unity issue I am having is on a personal computer and I am right now at work on a work computer.

One second

[vagrant shale]

You can always search the project folder with that search bar at the bottom

[lofty zealot]

can someone help me? Im trying to publish a world but it wont let me actually upload or test

this is all I see for the descriptor

which doesnt seem right

this is what I see for my sdk

[devout stratus]

@vagrant shale, i owe you a drink.

i can indeed jump, it was the VRCWorldSettings

[vagrant shale]

No worries, good to hear.

[visual tartan]

Here ya go!

[vagrant shale]

What is world? Is that VRCWorld? Did you change the name? What errors do you get when you try to publish? The buttons don't look greyed out but they just don't do anything?

[graceful plover]

It's blurry, but it looks like ur using 2019.4.31f1 which sounds right

[graceful plover]

In fact that's what I have open right now

[lofty zealot]

it was a prefab world I DLed

[visual tartan]

Yep!

[graceful plover]

Maybe a graphic driver thing?

[lofty zealot]

it said I had to add a descripter but when I click build and publish to windows

[visual tartan]

It works on my laptop. But I don’t wanna use my laptop XD

[lofty zealot]

the little mouse icon would do like a loading thing

then nothing happens after

[visual tartan]

I want to use my nice big gaming comp XD

[vagrant shale]

That's definitely borked shader magenta. Kind of weird it would affect your project settings. Can you select any objects and see the materials on them?

[graceful plover]

Looks like the entire app to me

[visual tartan]

Well it’s a new file, so there wouldn’t be anything in it?

I don’t think?

[graceful plover]

This is before loading in the VRCSDK?

[vagrant shale]

I would get rid of the descriptor on world and just drag in VRCWorld. You do have the SDK imported, right?

[lofty zealot]

yes

SDK3 for worlds

[visual tartan]

This is why I’ll request more help tonight in 3 or so hours cause I don’t have a way to troubleshoot right now at work lol

[vagrant shale]

Cool, happy to check it out then.

[graceful plover]

You just open Unity 2019.4.31f1 and it's magenta before doing anything?

[visual tartan]

This is before the vrchat plugin is installed

[lofty zealot]

which one would you drag in?

[visual tartan]

Yeee

[vagrant shale]

The blue box, just drag that in where you want people to spawn

The one that's filled in

[graceful plover]

Hmm, I mean I hope you get help from someone but if it's not VRChat's SDK doing that unless somebody else here has had the same thing happen I doubt you'll get an answer here, it sounds like a driver issue

[visual tartan]

Here’s the funny thing

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, it would be good to go through opening a new project and seeing if that still has the issue but it seems like a Unity problem. Might be a good idea to reinstall Unity

[visual tartan]

Any other version of Unity works

[graceful plover]

Did turning off the anti-virus and loading as administrator do anything?

[visual tartan]

It’s that specific version going pink

I can try tonight?

[lofty zealot]

@vagrant shale tysm that worked

I guess just adding the descripter itsself instead of the prefab broke it :P

[visual tartan]

Done that probably 5 times at this point lol

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, I think you can set up your own descriptor without going through VRCworld but that's for advanced kids and I don't know why you would do that.

It could be a problem with DirectX so maybe you could reinstall that.

[visual tartan]

Me?

[vagrant shale]

Just updating your graphics card drivers might do that? I'm not really knowledgeable with drivers.

Yeah

[visual tartan]

I’ll try all of that tonight.

Hmmmmmm…. I just had a crazy idea too

Those who doooo have Unity working right, I wonder if I can ask a favor

Eh maybe not lol. Might need a lot of trust to whoever I propose the idea to lol

[graceful plover]

I mean, may as well say it, even if you think nobody will do it

[visual tartan]

It’ll depend on the difficulty lol. I could on a call give my project to someone who has a good version running and see if I can have them set up the world and upload it for me lol 😛

The world is already built, it’s an Owl House world I made on Blender.

This is what I managed to make it look like on a current version of Unity

[graceful plover]

Not sure how that will fix your issue though, I'm assuming it would work since it sounds like some Unity hardware conflict

[visual tartan]

It probably won’t fix my issue no. But you’re right, even if I do have someone do this for me, and if I wanted to update it down the road, I would still need the program to work

[near escarp]

Owlhouse wooo !

[visual tartan]

You know the show?! YES

[near escarp]

I've yet to watch the latest season, but yeah it's great, your model looks great !

[visual tartan]

Thank you!

When you say you haven’t seen the latest season, do you mean 2B or just season 2 as a whole?

Cause out of the entire season, there are no “filler episodes” at all. It’s epic. Also, I am sorry for talking about this in the wrong channel, it was just relevant lol. Yeah I want to have a world for fans to walk around in and enjoy. Although someone beat me to it on the 30th of May… I would have had it out before him if Unity wasn’t being weird. Or my computer.

[pastel oracle]

hi, just finished creating my world, when i try to upload it a message pops out saying i need to spend more time playing vrchat
i just wanna know how much is the waiting time, i really want to upload these world

[near escarp]

The whole second season, I was waiting for it all be be out so that I could binge it

[near escarp]

?upload

[odd rover]

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

Source: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions

[visual tartan]

The rest of season 2 will be be on Disney+ soon! The end of June.

[pastel oracle]

publish for windows

srry

[vagrant shale]

Think the same thing applies, you need to be a new user to upload and I believe a user to upload to community labs.

Getting to new user is pretty quick, user can take a bit longer depending on what you're doing but it's not too bad.

[pastel oracle]

thnx

i ll spend more time in vr then 🙂

[bold ibex]

So I had a look and its possible Krampus for users to bounce if they hit the platform but I have no idea how. Would anyone else have an idea? For bounce jumping like a bouncy house?

[vagrant shale]

This prefab apparently has a bounce pad, might do what you're trying to do https://github.com/jetdog8808/Jetdogs-Prefabs-Udon/releases

[bold ibex]

OOOOOO

You're a hero Krampus you know that? Haha.

[vagrant shale]

If it works, all the credit goes to jetdog8808

[bold ibex]

I know but you helped support. ;)

I like to credit those that guide me.

I'll hop on my laptop and get working to see if it does

[shell wren]

Is there a way to have a depth mask shader keep the skybox? On this big plane in the sky, I'm using poiyomi with Zwrite=on, color mask=none, and render queue='geometry+10' , but instead of the blue skybox I get the weird tracing effect

What I'm trying to do is hide the big red part of the map when you're inside the little green part. The depth mask plane is between them.

[sacred warren]

Why not toggle the gameobject based on location?

[shell wren]

It's a lot of game objects. I suppose a parent would work though

[jagged kayak]

Anyone else getting this weird bug that says that you haven't published your world but you have in fact published the world? So when you go to update the world it gives you a blueprint error? Like in the screenshot? Where is the new build option again? xD

[whole cedar]

Anyone know where I can find that night time city cube map that everyone uses in blue dream in all those levels?

[vagrant shale]

Have you tried detaching the ID in the Pipeline Manager and seeing if you can publish to a new ID? Though I guess that isn't ideal if you want to update an existing blueprint

[vagrant shale]

Looks kind of like the city the person above you has but maybe not.

[visual tartan]

Heh, so it doesn't look like I have DirectX. Do I need that?

[vagrant shale]

Couldn't hurt, I think Unity likes that. Not sure why it's only affecting that version but I would download it if you could.

[visual tartan]

You know what? I think I realize what it could be, I wanna hear your opinion before I try this attempt because it'll involved uninstalling every Unity I have and starting over from scratch lol

Is Unity meant to run on the C: drive?

I usually install all of my programs on the D: drive.

I wonder if it being on the D: drive will be the reason this is happening to me

Imma just do it lol

[vagrant shale]

I'm pretty sure install directory shouldn't matter but I suppose it can't hurt. Did you try updating your drivers? This might be the time to contact Unity support.

[visual tartan]

Holy cow it WORKED!!!!

[vagrant shale]

Changing the directory worked? Cool, I don't see how that would impact anything but all that matters is it worked.

[visual tartan]

Probably because I installed it on the system drive. Which is probably where the graphics drivers are

I updated my graphics driver last week, So I know it couldn’t have been that

[vagrant shale]

But it sounds like you have other programs on the D drive that also presumably depend on graphics drivers. Regardless, it did the thing.

[visual tartan]

Yeah Idk why this worked lol

But it did, and I am happy XD

[visual tartan]

Alright, new question, what does it mean when I am falling through the floor of my world? XD

I assume because the "floor" doesn't have a collider to walk on or something?

[cobalt prawn]

Yep that's usually exactly why

[visual tartan]

How do I add it to my terrain?

[cobalt prawn]

Add component > mesh collider

Just make sure it is on the same object as the mesh filter/ mesh renderer

[visual tartan]

Mesh Filter and Renderer? Sorry I am VERY new to Unity lol

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah, any 3D model in your scene is going to have those visible in the inspector panel if they are selected

But objects don't have to have those, they can be empty objects, or have scripts, or a light, etc. So if you use a mesh collider, it should be on the same object as the mesh, so it knows what shape it should be

[cobalt prawn]

Mesh collider. Type mesh collider lol

Colliders fall under the physics category if you're clicking through that menu

I've gotten into the habit of just typing in what I need though

[visual tartan]

Oh sorry lol

Thank you so much that worked!

[cobalt prawn]

🤘

[rugged spire]

I’m still having trouble with my world. No errors populate for me in the console and the debugger is clean of any issues as well. The world uploads no problem, but when I try to test the build or go into the world that’s been uploaded, it stays stuck with a long load time, then kicks me back to the standard home world. I’m lost as to what is causing this.

[cobalt prawn]

If you type pipelinemanager into your hierarchy search bar like this, does more than one object show up? I believe that is one possible cause for your issue

(there should only be one)

[cobalt prawn]

Also can you screenshot your SceneDescriptor/VRCWorld for me?

I am guessing that this circled section is empty for you. I believe "Size" needs to be at least 1, and Element 0 should be an object that represents your spawn point (which is usually the same object as this script is on, but you still probably need it referenced here)

[jagged kayak]

Sorry for the really late reply, Yes, detaching the blueprint lets me upload it once but then it doesn't let me upload any different versions.

[pearl gust]

Two questions:
Half-Life Alyx and a few other VR games incorporate haptic feedback for wall collisions and the like. I found it surprisingly effective to boost immersion, as my hand naturally stopped movements that would clip it through walls
a) is haptic feedback back even possible in VRchat?
b) would HF be too much of a strain on users’ computers / what performance issues could HF create?

[solemn gulch]

There is VRCPlayerApi.PlayHapticEventInHand but I haven't looked into it

seems pretty simple

VRCPlayerApi, Hand, float, float, float
Vibrate the Player's Haptic controllers if they have them. The float inputs should be in the range 0-1. duration is the amount of time that they vibrate, amplitude is the strength with which they vibrate, and frequency is the speed at which they vibrate. The feeling can vary quite a bit between controllers.

[pearl gust]

Ok, gotcha gotcha. Shouldn’t be too hard to tie that in to a collision script. I’ll see how it works. Thanks!

[stoic elm]

i uh, need help with something
First Image - Blender
Second Image - Unity

[wheat haven]

Are the normals maybe flipped? I don't assume so, but it's always the best to check first

[stoic elm]

well, i was gonna hope that it is gonna be how it is in image number one, but i tried flipping the normals again in blender, but then the outside looked weird

[rugged spire]

@cobalt prawnI only have the one, and the spawn point has been set.

[teal blade]

hey guys, is there a reason as to why the sea shader isnt reflecting on the mirror?

the reflections work with the oculus sea shader but not for the pc one for some odd reason

[solemn gulch]

I've noticed that some things - like the default unity fog - don't reflect at all no matter what layers you have visible

That's just a quick heads up, I don't know if there's a fix to this

[teal blade]

dayum

well alright, thanks for the heads up

[radiant stump]

hello everyone, I'm having a couple issues with my world, this is my first time working in Unity and making a VRchat world, all has been going fine until I ran into this problem with my mirror, its not working. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[ocean crag]

Is it facing the right direction?

[solemn gulch]

double check what is being reflected as well~

[visual tartan]

I made it this far into VRChat with my world, I am so PUMPED!

[solemn gulch]

I caused this

[sacred warren]

Alt+Print Screen to screenshot only the current window, btw.

[visual tartan]

I don't mind sharing the entire window lol, but thanks though

Alrighty, here's a question for ya, lets say the material I made in Blender was not shiny, and in Unity, the material is shiny, but I can't change the material settings, how do I make it not shiny?

[left rain]

blender materials have nothing to do with unity

you can assign materials to primitives/faces and those assignments will be visible in unity, but this is basically just to create "hooks" that you can plug unity shaders into in your FBX import settings

you need to rebuild your materials using unity-compatible ones. nothing but the name will translate from blender

[cobalt prawn]

Faces are only one sided by default in Unity. There are shaders that will draw both sides, or you can duplicate the object and flip the normals on the duplicate, or you can give the walls thickness like walls have in real life (easiest way is probably the Solidify modifier in blender)

[stoic elm]

oh yeah, i forgot to mention that i found a soloution, haha, sorry ^^

[cobalt prawn]

Right on

[rugged spire]

During the building process it swaps the, "builder," items to this warning, but I already have the assets required to load it as a world. Still will not initialize.

Ok, it finally came back with errors

[rugged spire]

Ok, I think I found the problem

One of the assets in the scene is corrupt. I just removed all assets aside from the walls and floor and the world loads almost immediately

Now its just a process of elimination; Adding in one asset at a time until I find the one that breaks it.

[graceful radish]

how would i go about fixing that dark spot? If i set the material metallic to 1 I wont see the spot anymore but the whole couch will be dark

[daring sentinel]

Light

[graceful radish]

i'd have to put a light right next to it for it to not be visible

[spiral panther]

jesse

we need to bake lighting

[graceful radish]

mr white what the fuck does that mean

[vagrant shale]

Lightmapping/baking is a pretty complex topic so it's worthwhile to watch a tutorial on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdpV_Cdet_Y

[graceful radish]

alright nice no clue what i did but it works now

[rose dirge]

hi guys hope your all well so ive just been making a world and coming to the end it gave me these errors now i cant load into vrchat with sdk

[vagrant shale]

Compiler errors will generally cause the builder to stop working. Looks like an issue with post-processing so I'd check there. You should have a post-processing layer on your camera and a post-processing volume somewhere in the scene. Also, are you enabling anti-aliasing as I think that's discouraged as it can majorly effect performance and doesn't tend to look very good in VRChat in my experience.

[rose dirge]

tbh im brand new to unity so i dont actually know were to find the post processing were is it located please

and i dont believe i am using anti aliasing

[vagrant shale]

So you don't have post-processing in your scene? Maybe it's something in your scene that needs access to the post-processing stack and you don't have it and that's the problem. Go into window, then package manager, and then search for post processing stack and download and import it.

[rose dirge]

so 3.1.1 was installed for post processing i have updated to 3.2.2 dunno if i should have

[vagrant shale]

That should be fine. That was my best guess from having a look at your errors but if that didn't fix it, I'm not really sure.

[rose dirge]

you available to jump in a call as tbh im confused if not all is good

updating it didnt fix the issue

[vagrant shale]

I'm available but I don't have any other ideas so I don't know what I could do for you, hopefully someone else will recognize the error and have a better fix, I'll repost that for you so it doesn't get buried.

[rose dirge]

only reason i asked is to see if walking through and talking we can find something as im really confused rn

not an issue tho i really appreciate your help

[vagrant shale]

Good luck, the only thing I could suggest is deleting the Standard Assets folder as that seems to be where the conflict is and you shouldn't need it to build a world but I'd do a backup by just copying and pasting the folder elsewhere first in case that creates more problems than it solves.

[rose dirge]

many thanks will give it a go

removing that fixed it thanks so so much

[vagrant shale]

Cool, happy to help.

[sacred warren]

For some reason the VRC layers are missing. Is there some way I can regenerate them? (the SDK doesn't seem to complain)

[sacred warren]

Looks like you're missing the PostProcessing package?

If you reinstalled it, restart Unity in case it's being dumb.

[rose dirge]

i removed the standard assets folder from the help of Krampus and that worked

but i did check and the post processing is in the project window

[sacred warren]

Interesting. Something in there referencing the old PP implementation maybe?

[rose dirge]

thats what you mean correct

[vagrant shale]

If you needed any of those scripts from Standard Assets, then you could try deleting that folder and reimporting from scratch but if you just want a certain model or material from there, you can bring in individual assets from the folder you hopefully backed up or just try bringing it back in with that specific scripts folder that is having the issues deleted.

[rose dirge]

i did backup but luckly enough nothing was effected from deleting that file

so i just tested putting that file back in and immediately brakes things so i think that assets folder was the issue

[vagrant shale]

Yeah but it seems to specifically be the scripts folder in there so if you get rid of that, then I would imagine you wouldn't have any issues but if you don't need any of that stuff, you might as well keep your project size small.

[rose dirge]

fair point

thanks so much for everything

one last thing ive got the udon sync player (unity) playing but no volume option any ideas

[vagrant shale]

Are you using PC or Quest? I use a different video player as that one doesn't work well for Quest but it might be usable for PC.

[rose dirge]

pc

but most people that are gonna be in the world will be on quest

so dont mind using the quest one just dont know were it is

[vagrant shale]

It could be that you're using a youtube link and it's not playing well with the file format and it likely won't work at all for Quest users. For that, I recommend Techanon's ProTV player which I can help you set up but then getting Youtube videos to work is another series of hoops you have to jump through. I use VRCDN for video uploads but for that, the videos need to be content you own which is often not the sort of content people want to be playing. It's kind of a difficult problem getting standard Youtube videos to play on Quest but you'll want to start here https://ask.vrchat.com/t/protv-by-architechanon-usage-guides-and-walkthroughs/7029

[rose dirge]

many thanks will download it now

[visual tartan]

Is there a way to add a plane with a transparent texture image into Unity?

[cobalt prawn]

Do you mean the image has transparency? Or that you have an ordinary texture and want to make it transparent?

Either way just need a material with a shader that supports transparency, for example the standard shader with the rendering mode set to transparent

[visual tartan]

Image that has transparency. I have a cloud texture I wanna use

[cobalt prawn]

And then either the image can decide what is transparent, or you can set the overall transparency by changing the alpha value of the main color

[visual tartan]

Oh cool I can try that tonight

I am so happy that I managed to make my first VRChat world work out. 😄

[vagrant shale]

Some programs use an opacity map to control texture opacity but the standard shader just uses the transparency from the albedo channel so you just need to use a transparent texture there and have your texture import settings like this.

[cobalt prawn]

Good call, texture import settings will factor into this as well, gotta make sure that is set up correctly 👍

[visual tartan]

If I can make this one plane work, I can duplicate it over and over throuout the sky lol

Though I am upset XD the sky isn’t the color I wish it were, cause I can’t change the color of the atmosphere. Lemme know you the world vs a render I have full control of everything on Blender lol

[cobalt prawn]

Sure you can, just modify the skybox material, or make a new one, or download a new one

[visual tartan]

Nvm I can’t find my render lol. Lemme google a picture of the house

[cobalt prawn]

The default procedural skybox is pretty odd with how it works, and tries to simulate real life atmosphere. So it's a bit unpredictable and changes based on your directional light

[visual tartan]

You know what, I am dumb lol. Upon trying to work out the sky, I thought it was orange lol… I am thinking that the original default sky might actually work out better lol

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah that shouldn't be hard at all. Just pink on the horizon and bluish purple on top, manually place some clouds and you're good

Looks nice 😄

[visual tartan]

Here’s my actual Render, so idk why I still thought the sky was orange making the VR world XD

I’ll have an advanced question tonight if I can hop into VC with someone if it’s easy enough, but is it possible to add noise-bump texturing like you see in my render?

[devout stratus]

hey everyone, quick question. anyone knows of a good tutorial to Teleport player from location A to location B, and from B to A?

[visual tartan]

The noise-bump texturing were done with nodes on Blender, which unfortunately couldn’t carry over, and I suck at baking textures lol

[visual tartan]

Like- room to room? I would like to know too lol, for future reference

[vagrant shale]

The setup is a little different depending on whether you're using a panorama or a cubemap but basically you create a material with the skybox shader and then you drag that into the skybox material field in your lighting

[visual tartan]

Gotcha
