world-development

[brazen python]

ok good news is when i changed the value from the empty state to the animation from true to false the first animation does indeed play correctly

[undone dome]

Actually, the strange thing is that the bar stool doesn't have a collider and it worked.

[brazen python]

unforutnatly

it wont play the second

[undone dome]

Nevemrind. I figured it out (I think). Thanks again.

[vagrant shale]

But do you have a button that actually makes it false? Because the graph you posted just makes it true.

[brazen python]

yes i do

i think

[vagrant shale]

Could you post that graph?

[brazen python]

i think i already posted it?

[vagrant shale]

All I can find is this one that sets it to true

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, that makes it true. That check in the box means true. If you make another button and uncheck the box in that program (make sure it's a different program) that will make it false. If you want the button to toggle true and false give me a minute and I'll post that graph.

This is a toggle graph. The getactiveself node gets the current value of the boolean and the unary negation node flips the value

[brazen python]

it still wont play the animation where it flips back up

*edit nevermind! it works nowww

thank you guys

[vagrant shale]

Great, glad it worked out

[tawdry warren]

Hey guys, i want to make a game with a bot that chases you and kills you, where to find the assests to make something like that?

[timid hawk]

I am still suffering from script issues no matter what I do, right version unity, and SDK3, yet it always has this issue no matter reimporting, making a new fresh project, idk I'm giving up and no one decided to help me with my earlier message

never used to do this before and only recently it has, I even reinstalled the whole unity

[vagrant shale]

Is that stopping you from doing something? Warnings are usually not a big deal, just the red errors.

[timid hawk]

It stopping me from using the very script VRChatSceneDescriptor

Because it cannot load

therefore when it comes to publishing, Impossible

or editing the VRChat SDK Builder

information

I even once thought it was the new VRChat Companion helper, but nope was the same thing when I did everything manually

a .dll error is a big thing, idk why its just a warning

because then the whole package is an issue

then when I try to click update, it says a new version but here is the catch

its the same version it is

[vagrant shale]

The "you scene needs a scene descriptor error" is a normal part of publishing, are you trying to build and test? Are you sure it's pointing to the correct program in the builder settings? Build and publish should still work but build and test needs to know where VRChat is to launch the program.

[timid hawk]

I'm not even building and testing, its literally missing

or failing to work

hmm this new project is different

it still says missing VRChatSceneDescriptor yet its there, but then finishes the build and test but declares its missing still

Never got this far with last one I did, but still an ongoing issue

[shadow venture]

I tried uploading my world but I can't. It won't let me click anything on this screen.

[timid hawk]

I remember that being an issue back then

can't help you there sadly Shadow

Also having issues here though haha

[shadow venture]

Darn.

[vagrant shale]

Does it only say it's missing the scene descriptor during the building process? Because that's normal. Are you able to get to that New world creation screen?

[vagrant shale]

I think you need to zoom out or increase the size of your window, there's a box you need to check on the left there.

[timid hawk]

let me test

but give me a moment switching the build to andriod

[vagrant shale]

But you should be able to give the world a name so if you can't even do that, then that is strange.

[shadow venture]

Still can't press anything

[timid hawk]

Ok I switched my build to android and here it is the very error I'm talking about

[vagrant shale]

Wait, is required to build an avatar? Are you using the world sdk or the avatar sdk? They're different programs.

[timid hawk]

why is it asking for avatar

Then it seems VRC Creator Companion is at fault

let me retest this

[vagrant shale]

Is that a recent SDK? it looks off. Maybe that's the new one. I still haven't messed with the creator companion because I fear new things. Is the play button at the top of the scene activated?

[timid hawk]

Says avatar is not enabled

weird

[timid hawk]

No I normally have it paused

even so the error is the same when unpaused

I done this too without VRC Creator Companion and the result is the same

[vagrant shale]

This is why I don't deal with the creator companion. Everything worked just fine before they added that, at least for me. The world sdk used to be a completely different download and I've never seen that behavior but who knows?

[timid hawk]

It askes for only SDK3 or SDK2 which SDK2 is being removed very soon

so only option is to embrace the new

you know what I'ma try with SDk2

[shadow venture]

SDK? It's from 2021. And the play button is on.

[vagrant shale]

Not if I never update

[timid hawk]

going to try SDK2 right now

Man things were so much easier back then in early VRChat

around 2018

[undone dome]

Hey all. I have another issue. I followed the tutorial from https://youtu.be/DpXR2oXdMA4 and when I pick up an object, I see the outline of it getting picked up instead of the actual object. It's like an invisible object.

[green lagoon]

eventually upload will be completely disabled on SDK 2

[timid hawk]

Yes

Now my SDK2 is weird like the other one

nvm got it fixed now lets see....

[cobalt prawn]

Did you check that box at the bottom that says the above info is correct and I have rights to these assets blah blah?

[vagrant shale]

The object is probably marked as static. Disable that.

[uncut hare]

how do i go about making this skybox rotate?

continueously

[stone marsh]

Animate it ...

[uncut hare]

idk how to in unity

[stone marsh]

Looks like you just put a material on a large dome.

[uncut hare]

thats what it is

cylinder

[timid hawk]

wait wait does this make sense?? I click Build and Test on SDK2, yet it sends me an external link about vrchat

[stone marsh]

So you'd just make an animation where it rotates 360°. Two keyframes. That's all

Start at 0° and go to 360° then set to loop

[uncut hare]

hmm

[timid hawk]

my stuff becomes externally edited like what?

[vagrant shale]

Try this, it's probably good enough. Hard to say without a dislike button https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVFg9g4f-ME

[timid hawk]

then it shows no apps can open that link

[regal kindle]

I reallly need some help decimating to a low enough polygon/triangle count without losing quality

[vagrant shale]

I think you would need to animate the tiling if it was an actual skybox but if it's just a cylinder, then yeah, just keyframe the object rotation.

[undone dome]

Thank you once again!

[regal kindle]

And also What’s the best way to merge materials? I keep hearing the word atlas, but i can’t figure it out

[stone marsh]

Dissolve edge loops. Look into it.

You'll need to use blender for any proper decimation.

Lowering poly count will always lower quality. Though, it can be baked to look higher poly and if you're careful you can do minimal impact to visuals by properly dissolving edge loops and other remeshing methods.

[vagrant shale]

More of a modeling question but the main way is just selecting and dissolving edge loops. Takes a while but it'll get you cleaner results than decimation. There really is no way to completely avoid losing quality, that's why the geometry is there in the first place

What Merc said.

[regal kindle]

Okay I will look up a video on how to do that

[stone marsh]

Just make everything quads with pictures of how the world is supposed to look.

[regal kindle]

Thanks very much

[vagrant shale]

It can be done manually by adjusting UVs but this works well enough. https://github.com/Grim-es/material-combiner-addon

[vagrant shale]

Altspace is shaking in its boots.

[shadow venture]

Should I worry about this?

[vagrant shale]

Red is usually bad but is it stopping you from doing something you want to do?

[stone marsh]

If that error is persistent and doesn't go away and is preventing build you'll need to comment out line 82/81 in Notepad++ or ideally Visual Studio Code.

[shadow venture]

What?

[shadow venture]

Uploading my world. Still can't agree to the term box and such

[stone marsh]

Which part didn't you understand and I can go from there lok

[vagrant shale]

You could also use notepad but then you'll have to count lines yourself. I'd download notepad++

Just put // in front of that line and pray

[stone marsh]

Or Visual Studio Code. Which is free.

[shadow venture]

I have no idea what those even are.

[stone marsh]

But yeah. It's been an issue affecting a lot of people recently. Commenting out the line fixes it for now

[uncut hare]

i got the animation but idk if it will loop or play in game

[vagrant shale]

Open up that file, find that line, put // in the beginning and save

[stone marsh]

Programs. Download VC Code or Notepad++. Both show line numbers.

Then literally comment out the line the error is telling you by adding // at the start and save.

[vagrant shale]

If you click on the animation, there is a loop checkbox. It's enabled by default so you'll need to disable it if you don't want looping.

[uncut hare]

thats ok

and it works

[vagrant shale]

🙌

[shadow venture]

Will this make me able to actual upload my world?

[stone marsh]

Yes. It will get rid of that error.

Iirc the line starts on 81 but it may just be 82. You can tell by looking at it. Just comment it out disables it. It can be reverted at any time or the next time you update the sdk. If you screenshot line 82 we can tell you for sure. But you just put // at the start of that specific line to disable it.

[shadow venture]

Fixed it.

[stone marsh]

[shadow venture]

Uh, the upload button won't work?

[stone marsh]

Then u didn't fix it lol.

Screenshot your error console again

[stone marsh]

Can you please hit clear, then in the top right corner of the console, hide the info blurbs and warning triangles so only the red stop sign errors show. Then ensure you screenshot the entire console so I can see the error number and all the errors

From what I see you didn't comment out the line tho.

[shadow venture]

What?

[stone marsh]

Which part of what I said confused you?

[shadow venture]

All. This is the only world I ever uploaded.

[stone marsh]

Nobody can help you, if you don't say what you need help with.

[stone marsh]

I need you to clear your errors. And hide the info blurbs and warning triangles in your console. So when you screenshot it, only the red errors are showing.

Vrchat isn't an easy game to run. Your process manager tells me nothing at all

[shadow venture]

But all the errors are gone?

[stone marsh]

When you hit clear, there are no more errors? Are you able to enter play mode?

Buy a better computer

[green lagoon]

I suppose they could also try to have their safety settings to not show very poor avatars

[shadow venture]

Yeah.

[stone marsh]

If you're able to enter play mode, there are no hard errors. What happens when you press upload?

[shadow venture]

Nothing. I can't even check the boxes or type anything.

[vagrant shale]

Or stop going to demanding worlds. If it's Quest compatible, it will tend to be less demanding but the sky's the limit on how demanding a PC world can be. Not that it isn't possible to bring a PC to its knees in an ostensibly Quest-compatible world, it definitely is.

[stone marsh]

Save and restart unity.

You're also sure you commented out the correct line? A screenshot may be useful to confirm this.

10/10. You asked how to not lag while giving me zero actual info about your computer, what worlds you're in, avatars, and explained nothing and insult me. Good way to get help.

[shadow venture]

It works now. \

[stone marsh]

Nice! Lmk if there's any more issues when you finally build n upload it

[shadow venture]

How do I make this brighter, so the flowers aren't black?

[stone marsh]

Looks like some of your stuff should be using cutout

[shadow venture]

It is.

[vagrant shale]

Do you have any baked lighting? This looks really flat.

[shadow venture]

What's that supposed to be?

[vagrant shale]

That's important to know, I don't know what tutorial to recommend but Youtube recommends this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdpV_Cdet_Y

[stone marsh]

I don't believe so, or it's set wrong, you can see the leaves for instance, the black edges are where it should be cutout. The mask is showing as opaque.

Can't tell if I'm see the black parts of a mask or if bad lighting but looks like the texture/mask

[vagrant shale]

Cutouts also have a threshold so maybe that is turned all the way to 0 so nothing is being masked out.

[stone marsh]

Indeed. The leaves shouldn't be showing those black edges if it was properly cutting

Idk about the floor tho. It could be lighting, it could be part of a texture/mask. Need to see more and see your lighting setup and light maps

[vagrant shale]

Seems like there are no lightmaps. You're really gonna want that, having nothing but realtime lights tends to get problematic quickly, especially if you want people using Quests to not be in a nightmare world of poor performance and visual glitches.

I say this in the process of building a world that uses nothing but realtime lights but I'm careful to have a max of 2 on at any one time.

[tawdry warren]

q-q

[vagrant shale]

You want to make a robot that tracks and kills you, right? I think that's kind of complicated. I'm sure someone around here knows how to do it, it's a thing in Noir: Nocturne but I think you're going to have to develop some foundational animation and programming skills to tackle that. I don't think there's a prefab for that but if there is, I'd certainly like to know about it.

[tawdry warren]

i do have some "bots" planned with animations done

[vagrant shale]

So what you need is the pathfinding? Sounds like something for #udon-general but it's just harder to find people that know more advanced stuff like that so you likely won't get an answer. Maybe you can commission an Udon programmer on Fiverr.

[shy tide]

Hey guys, I'm getting this weird exception. It says "Export exception" and something about a .vrcw file not being found? I'm not sure what's up

I tried to transcribe the error message but it's super long and I forgot how I copy and paste it

I think I see what the problem is. I do not know how to find the script that is improperly referring to this though. I changed the parent file path, and one of the scripts didn't have its respective path change.

But I do not know hich script this is in

[maiden basin]

alright, ive run out of debugging solutions

it seems the audiolink asset on github doesnt actually seem to work with reactive lights

ive tried in a new project, with everything updated, every other aspect seems to work, but not the lights for some reason

are there any known issues with audiolink doing this?

https://github.com/llealloo/vrc-udon-audio-link this is the asset im using

[shadow venture]

For some reason, I can't access my world I uploaded an hour ago. It keeps taking me back to my default home world. Any suggetions?

[cobalt prawn]

Did you use the VRCWorld prefab? If not, you might need to set a spawn location in your scene descriptor. One of many good reasons to use VRCWorld

[shadow venture]

What?

[vagrant shale]

VRCWorld is a prefab that comes with the SDK that acts as a Scene Descriptor, a spawn point, allows you to change walk and run settings, all sorts of stuff. If you don't have that in your scene, you won't have anywhere to spawn but I'm not sure if that's the issue.

[shadow venture]

There is a spawn point.

[boreal trench]

YOOOOOOO, I'm a 3d environment artist, I wanna start on making some vrchat worlds

[vagrant shale]

One of the great things about VRChat is most of the hard stuff in setting up how you access and interact with the world is handled for you so I think you'll find it very accessible.

[cobalt prawn]

By that do you mean that there is a spawn point referenced in the scene descriptor? Sharing a screenshot of the scene descriptor would help to make sure that you do

If it's not that then it's usually something specific you imported that is just breaking things... In which case I advise starting a very simple bare bones world possibly in a new project, making sure that works, and slowly adding things one by one from there, being careful to read directions along the way

[cobalt prawn]

Well, that's not your scene descriptor. But I believe it reveals the issue which is the pipeline manager attached to that Spawn object you have selected. You should remove that pipeline manager component

Because the VRCWorld prefab already has that

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, having multiple spawn objects seems bad, there's already functionality in VRCWorld to have multiple spawn points if you want that.

[shadow venture]

Got it.

[obsidian salmon]

how do you make a custom world spawn

im not sure how i should do it

[gaunt egret]

place vrcworld prefab where you want the spawn to be

[spice crescent]

im haveing a problem with my world uploading when ever i click publish it logs me out and gives these's errors

weird because i just uploaded 15- 30 mins ago

[vagrant shale]

If you mean having multiple spawns, there's a list in the VRCWorld prefab. I haven't actually done it but I'm pretty sure you just increase the list size and drag in some empty game objects.

[obsidian salmon]

i got the spawns to work

[tropic badger]

Quick question, can you still use the SDK and debug/playtest your world without having the required VRC rank ?
Are you able to do everything locally and enter the world in vr without uploading it ?

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, pretty sure you can still build and test. You only have to be new user rank to upload a private world which usually only takes a day or two but that shouldn't be necessary to test.

[tropic badger]

Ok, thanks a lot ! Pretty motivated to make a world but I wasn't sure if I could since I'm still a visitor :(

[sudden rain]

Can someone help me my unityhub won’t stop showing me the black screen

[shadow venture]

What does this mean?

[tropic badger]

Found on reddit:

It means it is trying to import something that isn't a vertex, edge or face.
It's only a warning so it might not break everything, but check that you didn't export other objects than meshes in Unity

[tulip tartan]

hey im new to making worlds but i wanna put a metro map in vrc could someone give me a hand with it if u can dm me

Hello!! Can anyone DM the assets for edible foods, the working beer and cups?

Can anyone explain what is going on here with these cups?

[tardy moth]

I cant test my world offline, these are the critical errors that pop up in unity. I don't really know what I did wrong

[left rain]

you probably installed a prefab that requires udonsharp without installing udonsharp first

remove the prefab from your project entirely, install u#, them import the prefab package again

[tulip tartan]

can someone help me out

[sharp lava]

@tulip tartan GMA Files have to be extracted with a gmaExtractor, then the mdl files decompiled to smd source files using Crowbar, then smd files need to be imported to Blender using Blender Source Tools.

[tulip tartan]

oh no i just wnt help uploading this avi to quest but it dont wanna work ive made 2 pc avis

[ocean crag]

this is for world help amigo

[sharp lava]

confusing. @.@

Anyway, for quest, you need to install the android SDK before you build.

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/setting-up-unity-for-creating-quest-content

[ocean crag]

idk if it helps but with my issue i had tried other object than those cups on that table and they did the same thing for some reason

Please dont go buying crest from the unity store; it's not compatible. 😛

[swift trench]

Does anyone have any idea how on earth I would model a pool locker like this

ofc don't need them to function.

just black box with a cube on top

and then model the keyholes?

[left rain]

build one locker at high detail including the keyhole, bevels, other details, etc., then use it as the high resolution mesh for a texture bake onto a plain cube the same size

then apply that texture, tiled, onto a very large cube representing all the lockers

[swift trench]

I managed to make a basic one in 58 tris

tho yeh I def made the bevel too much

bit better

[delicate musk]

Heya, need a little bit of help or directing. I was trying to add dynamic bones to an NPC in a world I'm creating. However I've found that the script is either disabled or removed during build & upload or on Load of the world in VRC. As I can't find Phys bones in SDK3-Worlds, what's the best way of either: A) adding Phys or B) where can I find a similar script which will work with SDK3-World?

[vagrant shale]

Physbones are currently not enabled for worlds so you'll need to get the old dynamic bone system for now. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/dynamic-bone-16743

[delicate musk]

thanks. now to work out how to pull the previous version from the unity store.

[swift trench]

?

latest version of dynamic bones should work.

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, sorry, i didn't mean you needed an older version of dynamic bone, you just need dynamic bone.

[delicate musk]

hmmm, well heres the thing. I have the latest version. it just doesn't appear to work with the latest world SDK

[crimson sand]

can someone help me understand whats wrong and fix it

[vagrant shale]

I just called it old because it's the system that came before physbones but they haven't updated worlds to use physbones yet. That's weird, did they remove dynamic bone support before adding in physbone support? I'm still on a slightly older SDK but I have dynamic bones in my world and it publishes fine.

[vagrant shale]

Do you have UdonSharp installed?

[crimson sand]

idk that

[crimson sand]

can you help me

[delicate musk]

it publish just fine thankfully. however once I'm in world with the NPC its on its disabled on the NPC.

[vagrant shale]

I don't really have experience with the new creator companion but the way you used to get UdonSharp was from here https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/releases

The key is to never update your SDK so things won't break

[delicate musk]

wiser words never written lol

[crimson sand]

what do i do with it

[vagrant shale]

Click on the unity package and then go to assets->import package->custom package

[crimson sand]

this still shows up

[vagrant shale]

Try exiting out of Unity and then open it back up? I don't really know. Maybe the log will tell you something.

[left rain]

this again

[swift trench]

never use creator companion for udon sharp enabled worlds.
IDK why but it just breaks everything.

[left rain]

if you import a prefab that requires udon sharp, you must install udon sharp before you import the prefab package.

[vagrant shale]

I'm just going to never use the creator companion ever if I have the choice but I'm sure that won't last long.

[swift trench]

I've had to migrate a world before becase it kept breaking u# prefabs tho I had CC U# installed
even stuff I made kept breaking.

[left rain]

the cure is to completely remove whatever custom prefab package you imported from your project, i mean just wipe it tf out. then import udon sharp. then import your custom package. read the instructions before you import any custom package for the love of god

[swift trench]

they day they enforce creator companion I'm leaving.

[swift trench]

I had U# enabled, but most prefabs just don't like the CC version of U# or the SDK.

If it comes to it, people WILL stay on legacy SDK versions, Creator Companion is just not stable and you need admin to update it so anyone who does not have 100% controll of a pc, like a teenager, just can't update it.

unlike things like steam that is able to update itself fine.

[bold ibex]

im trying to make my first world for vrchat but when i go to import the package VRCSDK, it says this
if anyone knows how to fix this please lmk! ty!

[bold ibex]

retried and now its giving me these errors and telling me everything is imported already

[shy tide]

anyone have any idea why these trees are so much brighter than they should be? I've checked my lighting settings and none of the sliders seem to have any effect on the brightness of the leaves. IDK what I'm doing wrong here.

[severe thicket]

doing some stuff for a reference for a vrchat world comm price sheet

[sharp lava]

I would check in a character channel. Not immediately apparent what's throwing that error, pretty opaque.

[sharp lava]

Either there's a custom shader on that tree, or you're running off baked lighting on top of dynamic lighting would be my guess. The tree's trunk and the leaves are shaded similarly though. Only a directional light on that scene? Is it getting multiplied with the environmental lighting from your skybox?

[ocean crag]

so Im trying to get multiple object to respawn when I press a button but when I put them all as children under a object, it makes the object all distorted and the respawn button just makes them bounce around, any suggestions?

[vagrant shale]

By respawn you mean you want to have pickups that return to their origin? I think there might be a prefab for that in the prefabs database

[ocean crag]

yes that

that would be awesome if you have a link to that

[vagrant shale]

This is the database spreadsheet but you'll have to search for the prefab and I'm not 100% sure it's there but it's still a really good resource. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTP-eIkYLZh7pDhpO-untxy1zbuoiqdzVP2z5-vg_9ijBW7k8ZC9VP6cVL-ct5yKrySPBPJ6V2ymlWS/pubhtml

[fathom spear]

haha world go bbbbbrrrrrrrrr

[shy tide]

It seems that the environment multiplier has no effect on the brightness of the leaves. The lighting is provided by a skybox and a directional light. I'm also using bakery, btw. I adjusted some of the sliders in the shader itself.

Specifically, I reduced translucency strength and view dependency. It seems to maybe improve the lighting? I'm still not sure how well terrain and trees fit within the bakery settings. It seems to have worked... slightly better? But it seems that I cannot do any actual baking with these trees so idk

[left rain]

@ocean crag

given an array of GameObjects, this will cycle through all of them, set the owner to the player that interacted with the button this script is applied to, then find the VRCObjectSync component and run Respawn() on it

this way it's network synced

[ocean crag]

but will it be just tied to that owner, or will anyone be able to reset

[left rain]

anyone can reset. the ownership thing is more about networking; only the owner of a given object (this is separate from the world instance owner) can modify its properties, so for the button to work you need to forcibly set the current player as the owner so that the respawn event works and is pushed to other players

[ocean crag]

perfect let me compare that to my current script and see what needs to change

[sharp lava]

@shy tide That last screenshot definitely looks more consistent as a whole, but might be good to pose the question in #world-lighting as well. Not sure if there's anything specific to think about with alpha blended or tested textures.

[severe thicket]

Finished the thing :>

[sharp lava]

Looks damn nice @severe thicket

[severe thicket]

Thanks! :>

im planning on using it as an example piece for world commissions

[spare granite]

Does anyone have any direction or resources of how to be able to unlock and lock a room. I'm making a VIP room for my friends but I cannot find a good video or resource that will assist in doing so.

[sharp lava]

yeah actually.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifJcPZV8T4U

Also thank you Bush for all your hard work 🙂

[spare granite]

Thank you. I did that one and got that working. But I was wanting to also be able to let my friends open it up to everyone as well. So that if they want their friends who are not on the list can get it. If that makes sense. Lol.

[sharp lava]

Permanent solution would be saving them to script, but for runtime use I'm pretty sure you could add them to an array from a simple admin panel.

I think the author of that tutorial was in #udon-general just a little while ago. Probably would know at least a smarter or more elegant way of doing that then I would.

[spare granite]

Okay! Thank you!

[ocean crag]

alright im stuck on the "get length" part I dont have anything similar come up under the search

[left rain]

it's just getting the length of the array of GameObjects that you want to reset.

the variable here is a public variable of type GameObject[] that stores a reference to every object you want to reset with this button.

you'd need to populate that using the inspector. then this script will iterate over each of those objects. Length is a property of any array-type variable, so anything that you see ending in [] in Udon.

[red urchin]

any idea why my water would turn invisible when i went to bake the scene lighting?

everything is there but the water isnt visible now, i didnt have the water set to static is that why?

oh it is using Red_sim water shader btw

i was going to use silents water shader but for some reason it has issue when you bring out the camera, theres like a shadow reflection of the camera view in the water and it hurts to look at

[vagrant shale]

Maybe try adding a realtime directional light?

[red urchin]

didnt change anything no

[vagrant shale]

And you have reflection probes?

[cobalt prawn]

Do you have a reflection probe?

Heh

[red urchin]

that might be it

i had one a long time ago but for some reason it was bugging out my pool table so i got rid of it

should i just bake one right above this lake?

[cobalt prawn]

Yup

[red urchin]

huh well its baked but i still dont see the water

[cobalt prawn]

Hmm can you share a screenshot of the water's material settings?

[sharp lava]

could you send a sc.......thank you Jason xD

[red urchin]

sure gimme a sec

[ocean crag]

now my button isnt doing anything... heres my graph

[red urchin]

thats the water of mine

[left rain]

you need to type in the name of the component type to get in the GetComponent function... it's VRCObjectSync

[cobalt prawn]

Hmm do you have that z-buffer prefab from that package in your scene to make unity calculate the depth buffer?

[red urchin]

uhhh no i do not

didnt see that

[cobalt prawn]

Saw this on the download page

Says you can just drag that prefab in so maybe that'll do it?

[red urchin]

heck how did i miss a whole page like that

lemme see

[sharp lava]

Thats the ticket, z-depth isn't written cause shadow cascade is turned off.

There's a simple script you can apply to your camera as well, but if the author has specific instructions, just follow those.

[red urchin]

not workin yet hmm

lemme check around

[ocean crag]

alright so still no luck after typing in the VRCObjectSync, should my button look like this in inspector?

[left rain]

there's no public variable for you to populate

whatever that GameObject[] variable is that's in your udon graph, you need to populate that with a list of GameObjects that you want to reset, using the inspector

make sure the variable is public

[ocean crag]

how do I populate something?

[left rain]

drag shit into it

making a variable public means it will show up in the inspector. when you make the variable public in your udon graph, you should see a property in the inspector with the same name as your variable. type in the number of objects you want to reset, then you should see a list of empty slots for GameObjects. then select them all.

[ocean crag]

when I drag it on, it no longer makes the object an array, how do I keep it as array and not gameobject

[left rain]

i have no idea what you're talking about

@ocean crag in the udon graph, make sure your GameObject[] variable is public. then look for it in the Inspector, under Public Variables in the Udon Behavior component.

set the Size component to the number of objects you want to reset. then populate the list.

[red urchin]

yeah i still cant figure this out with the water

[ocean crag]

this is all I see when I open mine?

[left rain]

i need you to read what i've written very carefully

make a public variable of type GameObject[], not GameObject

[ocean crag]

how do I just make it public?

[red urchin]

so the main reason i stopped using silents water shader is because a few months ago it suddenly broke for me in an update and started making some weird effects on cameras that hurt your eyes, and its somewhat visible in unity too if i zoom in close enough, this point where the issue appears zoomed in also happens to be the exact point where i cant see Red_Sims water shader past a certain point, so i'm sure i'm doing something wrong on both of them so i'm not sure

[left rain]

check the public box in the udon graph when you select the variable

[ocean crag]

I see no checkboxes

[left rain]

i'm sorry friend but i cannot help you

do some basic udon tutorials on youtube and this will make more sense

[ocean crag]

i followed the tutorial but the objects went crazy when they respawned, you told me to go to variables I went to variables, I dont understand where the cut off is here..

[left rain]

if you're doing tutorials you're not paying attention

[ocean crag]

well if youre so versed then explain when I drop the object into the variables I do not get that public box

[left rain]

i've explained everything to you already, that's why i'm suggesting you do another tutorial. i don't have unlimited time to walk you through every single step of how udon graph works. you need to make a public GameObject[] variable in udon graph, then wire it up as it my original screenshot, then populate it in the inspector

[ocean crag]

Ive literally done that

its wired exactly as your picture

[ocean crag]

alright I get it you dont know what the problem is, you can admit that its alright 😂

[left rain]

good luck

[ocean crag]

how do I make the object public? "oh you make it public"

thanks...

Lmao it was a drop down arrow for the options, lol amazing how it was such a simple answer...

[cobalt prawn]

Indeed it was the drop down arrow they screenshotted and circled in red for you 🙄

[cobalt prawn]

Do you have post processing in your scene or any other components that would be affecting your main camera? If you have PP and you turn it off does this get fixed?

[red urchin]

ah heck i'd have to check later i just cleared my baked lighting so i can see the water again lol

but yeah i do have post processing, it's only affecting color grading and bloom at the moment though

i just messaged red_sim asking if they know what might be up

[cobalt prawn]

Hmm gotcha. Only other thing I can think to check would be the settings on the meshrenderer component, just to make sure it's set correctly to use the reflection probe

[red urchin]

through looking at a few videos online, i'm not seeing anybody bake their scene and use water shaders so maybe its something with me using baked lights as opposed to realtime somehow

and yeah it does use the reflection probe

[ocean crag]

my water shaders were doing exactly the same thing, after a while I just dropped a glass shader over it and called it good

[red urchin]

before baking lights it looks perfectly fine but its only after baking that it breaks

so it has something to do with that

i guess i'll try setting the water mesh to static

i didnt think i have to do that though cus nobody ever mentioned it in a tutorial

[cobalt prawn]

Yea that doesn't seem like it should be necessary

[ocean crag]

@cobalt prawn can you take a crack at why my respawn button is doing nothing

[cobalt prawn]

Naw sorry, I don't ever use udon graph really just u#

And I'm not too familiar with the networking or player api stuff

[ocean crag]

ugh, thanks though, I just want some simple checker pieces to respawn when you press a button

[cobalt prawn]

Hm is your array populated in the inspector?

[ocean crag]

I dont believe so thats what im trying to figure out how to do

[cobalt prawn]

You just set the amount of objects and then drag them in

Or you can select all the objects and drag them all in together

[ocean crag]

where do you set that amount at?

[cobalt prawn]

In the inspector panel for your respawn button, whatever object that script you made is attached to

Might be a dropdown arrow you need to click to reveal it 😛

[ocean crag]

is this the inspector panel your referring to?

[ocean crag]

thats the one the button is on, when I try to drop the objects into the target i just get a cross out sign

[cobalt prawn]

Ya, Idk why it's not on there though, something wrong with the way the variable is set up

Cannot by sy.....

Whatever that says, it seems to be your problem

But Idk the graph stuff or what to do about it

[sharp lava]

Programming is hard, even with a node editor. Tutorials are the way to go though. Or U# will make a lot more sense if you have any experience coding.

All hail Merlin, our savior from noodles.

[left rain]

GameObjects can't be synced no matter what, it's just not a supported type. You rely on the VRCObjectSync to handle synchronization for pickup transforms.

If a public variable isn't showing up in the Inspector, try recompiling your script using the button in the top right of the Udon graph.

[glossy cargo]

So I cannot seem to login into my world project for some reason? It just constantly been saying this for 30 minutes now when trying to log in

[ocean crag]

it was pretty simple they just walked my through it in udon networking, just had to recompile and basically it corrected itself

in case anyone comes across that issue]

[shadow venture]

How do I give my world project a background?

[tall forum]

can u help me

anyone

i cant open builder in my sdk

[vagrant shale]

Do you have compiler errors?

[tall forum]

yeas

[vagrant shale]

That's why. Post them and maybe we can suggest a fix

[ocean crag]

sky boxes, you can download them from the unity store or online

[vagrant shale]

Not sure what the fix is for that one but fixing that is what you need to get your builder back so hopefully someone does. Have you ever been able to build successfully?

[tall forum]

nope

[vagrant shale]

Ah, well, I was going to say to trace your steps back to before the issue but if there is no before, I'm not sure where to start.

[tall forum]

thats the error that what it says

how to cahnge the dir

k

[ocean crag]

has anyone here used teh PI music player from the vrc google doc? if so where do you insert the youtube links for music

[cobalt prawn]

https://tenor.com/view/sus-suspicious-hmm-hmmmm-hmmm-gif-24729433

[ocean crag]

sus link and no name? hmmm

but yah if anyones used the music player hit me up because their instructions on github are "drop the prefab and throw in the links for your music"

[shadow venture]

It's still blank?

[vagrant shale]

Can you post a screenshot of the settings on the material?

[cobalt prawn]

Try toggling these buttons on the scene view toolbar

Idk if I click them on accident or some script toggles them or what but they always seem to get messed with and it drives me crazy

[shadow venture]

For some reason there's 2 of the same map? It was supposed to update it.

[white moon]

Maybe you accidently detached the blueprint so it uploaded a new one instead

[shadow venture]

Can I reattach it?

[vagrant shale]

You have to go to your content manager in the sdk and find the world ID, it'll be wrld_something, copy that and paste it into the box and then attach it.

[shadow venture]

Where do I find that?

[vagrant shale]

It's one of the tabs in the SDK panel

[shadow venture]

So, what box do I put it in?

[vagrant shale]

In the pipeline manager just above or below attach if it's been detached

[shadow venture]

On the model or spawn point?

[vagrant shale]

In VRCWorld, that's the only thing that should have a pipeline manager. Are you still using that spawn point object? Why? VRCWorld already does that.

[shadow venture]

So, everything should not have a pipeline manager, except VRCWorld?

[vagrant shale]

Unless you've got a good reason to put a pipeline manager on something but I'm not sure why you would.

[shadow venture]

Is that the reason why I can access my own world on Vrchat?

[vagrant shale]

Possibly, I imagine having multiple pipeline managers could cause weird conflicts.

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrcpipelinemanager

[shadow venture]

Is there also a solution you have in mind so I can fix the lighting?

[vagrant shale]

I don't know what you want to fix specifically, did you watch that video on how to bake your lights? You're going to need to learn to do that unless you want to be stuck using a couple of realtime lights or having performance issues.

[bold ibex]

Does anyone know how to fix this

[viscid arch]

i cant find spawns if its like a folder

that you find here

and if I add vrc scene descriptor no where does it say add spawn

[gaunt egret]

assets --> vrchat examples --> prefabs

vrcworld prefab has everything you need, it will act as the world spawn by default

[vagrant shale]

Yup, just add VRCWorld and delete your own scenedescriptor

Sometimes I wish VRChat would just tell people to add VRCWorld than complaining about a SceneDescriptor. I get it technically isn't necessary and there might be reasons to not use it but it adds a lot of unnecessary confusion.

[viscid arch]

anything I need to do

still wont let me test the map

figured it out

[gaunt egret]

error tells you what the problem is lol

[gaunt egret]

if people bothered to read documentation or even watch a video on world building, we wouldn't see the scene descriptor error that often lol

pinned channel is always a good place to look first but i guess people forget thats a thing idk

[cobalt prawn]

Well the people that read docs and watch tutorials usually won't need to come here. So this place is more likely to be full of the people that don't 🤷

There's gotta be a name for that phenomenon or whatever ya call it, like in the context of statistics and whatnot... I dun remember

Also anyone can search this channel with keywords and probably find their exact questions asked 100x in the past 100 days 😂

[gaunt egret]

video in pinned can carry people a long way

also yeah true, this place is like a specific google search

[cobalt prawn]

That's usually my first step, is just to assume someone else had the same problem as me and find an existing convo/thread about it

[gaunt egret]

yeah me too, its a treasure trove of sorts. the only time ive asked questions is when ive been awake for 27 hours at a time xd

[cobalt prawn]

But ya Krampus' point about the scene descriptor. I feel that lol. Might as well put an alert for multiple pipeline managers too, since that's a huge reason why people get kicked back to their home world

gets a job at VRchat, adds these small changes to the world SDK, quits

[bold ibex]

Lol

[sullen notch]

Hi, question. I made a tree in Blender. In blender the leaves look fine, but in unity they have a box area from the transparent part of the png. Is there somethin I can do to fix this?

[gaunt egret]

cutout

[sullen notch]

Ahhh so not transparent

Thanks

[swift trench]

I think I managed to recreate this allright

they a bit thicc but ehh

scaleing width down way better

[small pagoda]

Is there a way to make a mirror in vrc reflect everything BUT the skybox?

[swift trench]

Skybox is allways on afraid
I've seen cutout mirrors tho idk how they work

[hoary juniper]

Hi, how i allow user to jump normal on my vrchat world?

[vagrant shale]

Do you have VRCWorld in your scene?

[hoary juniper]

ya

they reported they can't jump

[swift trench]

Use the vrc world prefab instead of the component

That lets you change movement ammounts

That should have a udon script on it that sets movement properties

[hoary juniper]

which one?

from VRCExample

or SDK folder?

ok used vrcworld prefab, it work

another question i wanna use this car as vehicle but just with basic movement, no whells ecc, any idea how to do it?

just mount on chair and ride it

https://tenor.com/view/me-bean-car-green-drive-gif-9073531

[subtle maple]

Is anyone here can suggest a way or tools to make a floor texture combine with sand texture ? Cause im trying to make a VRC world with a floor that with bit of sand at some place, I was doing the shader graph and using polybrush to paint the texture with vertex color, but at the end i found out its not compatible as the floor just turn bright pink color. I've been stuck at this for hours 😂

im trying to make a floor texture like this

[sharp lava]

You had the right idea, but shadergraph tends to break stuff, since it doesn't support the built in render pipeline. I'd find a tutorial on making a mix/interpolation shader for the BIRP and follow their code example, or get one of the free ones from the asset store, or if you dont need the base texture to tile, take the texture into your local photoshop equivalent.

[stone marsh]

I mean you can just use RGB masking and blend different textures together using masks.

[sharp lava]

Vertex colors it the preferred method, save a texture and have in editor control of mix strength, but MERC is correct that a masking texture also works just fine. For the scale of project you're likely to be working on, either's fine.

[subtle maple]

thank you! im going to check on the RGB masking.

[sharp lava]

Apparently Poiyomi's comes with texture masking by default, that should be an easy way to get started.

[stone marsh]

Indeed. Can blend them in editor using Pois RGB masking. Works well.

[stable moon]

I've got a question how do I make a world private and how do I make the chairs invisible?

[swift trench]

Disable the mesh renderers on chairs
And worlds are unlisted till you push them to labs.

[stable moon]

Oh ok thanks

[umbral dune]

uh-oh https://cz0.au/oSzN.jpg https://cz0.au/toSK.png
not really sure why it works in editor but not after I build

It's uhh using poiyomi shader, I tried both 8.0 toon and world, same thing

Ahh - it was streaming mipmaps not being enabled

[copper gulch]

first time making a room

[hot panther]

I've dropped a camera into my scene and made it render to a render texture. It works in the editor, but in vrc it's black. Is there something specific I need to configure in order to have the camera view shown?

[upper obsidian]

Target Eye - None

[near escarp]

https://github.com/Sacchan-VRC/SaccFlightAndVehicles

[hoary juniper]

but i only see flying vehicle

with that package

[sharp lava]

All the scripts you could possibly need are in there, and I do believe he has a car or two there as well.

Worst case scenario,, apply scripts to a nice car model.

https://github.com/kurotori4423/KurotoriUdonKart

Dunno if that one is much good though, never used it myself.

[upper orchid]

For a new world, what would you guys consider high performing as far as going from labs to public?

Like, is under a month good? Under a week?

[undone dome]

Hey all. How do I make it so when an object is picked up and thrown, it slides around? I know kinematic makes it so they float and gravity drops them, but I saw some worlds have it so when you let go of an object, it slides based on your throw.

[cobalt prawn]

Slides through the air, or slides on a surface?

Sliding on a surface would be done by giving the collider a low/zero friction physics material. Floating through the air would be a non kinematic rigidbody that does not use gravity

[undone dome]

It would be sliding through air. Thanks. I'll give it a try.

It worked as I wanted. Thank you!

[cobalt prawn]

Np, and if you don't want it to go flying away or spin forever just increase drag/angular drag and it will slow down over time

[undone dome]

That's even sweeter. Thanks again!

[glad tiger]

Hello. I have some objects that I can pickup and they react to gravity in the world. How do I mess with the gravity intensity on the objects??

[vagrant shale]

First place I would look would be the Rigidbody component

[glad tiger]

Everything is set to it's default on the rigidbody.

[vagrant shale]

So try setting it to not that and see what happens.

[kindred kestrel]

anyone know why i cant use any video players in any worlds or mine this is the debug from my club world

[kindred kestrel]

and just to add I did do a full reinstall of windows just now and I am still having the same error

[vagrant shale]

A full reinstall of Windows? That's further than I've seen anyone go to fix a Unity error. I'm not really sure, that site is kind of unreliable in my experience. Do you have any links you know work to try it with?

[kindred kestrel]

It’s a YouTube link that for whatever reason VR chat is redirecting it to that kind of link I’m just putting in a regular YouTube video and it still does it

My bf Even went into the world and he put in a URL it loaded on his end but not mine

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, it's just that link resolver that I know has issues sometimes. Video players can be kind of picky with what links work properly. I use VRCDN that works well but that's only for content you own.

[kindred kestrel]

And I’m getting the same error when I’m trying to test the world in unity directly with the emulator thing no matter what I do always get the same error or in general the video just won’t play or load and I don’t understand why I can stick in a YouTube video and nothing I even have my own account with VRCDN and the video player won’t even load that

[viscid arch]

so i made 2 toggles for mirror but the hq toggle disappears once clicked

[vagrant shale]

Is the button properly referencing the mirror in the inspector?

[kindred kestrel]

I even loaded up the VR chat on my laptop that is not meant for Gaming and it loaded every YouTube video perfectly fine

[viscid arch]

?

this?

[vagrant shale]

Yeah, see at the bottom how the LQ button is referencing itself and not the mirror?

[kindred kestrel]

here is a YT url

[viscid arch]

ye i have no clue on how to fix that

[vagrant shale]

Is this ProTV or some other player? It might be more productive to ask on the creator's Discord if that exists.

[vagrant shale]

Drag the mirror to the box from your hierarchy.

[kindred kestrel]

Unity at one point was giving an error for windows media player and the video player is the udonsharp video player But in my other worlds I don’t use that particular player and it still does it

[fickle quail]

(In the same instance with me and him, I can load a url, he can't)

[viscid arch]

drag the hq mirror to the hq toggle box?

[vagrant shale]

I'm stumped. I wish you luck but I don't know what to do about that.

HQ looks fine, see how it's actually referencing the mirror? It's your LQ button that isn't working properly.

[kindred kestrel]

thanks for ur help i did look up the error code i had at one point and the Unity forum said its a bug that was fixed in Unity v2021. somthing

[vagrant shale]

Ah, well that's not much good for you, is it? I have good luck with ProTV so you could try that but I have no clue if it will fix your issue.

[kindred kestrel]

will try it thank you

[sacred warren]

It's pretty nonsensical in terms of how it gets out. I had a world with 3000 visits and 500 favourites before it left labs, which is way higher than normal.

[unique radish]

I've got some invisible walls that I'm trying to block people from selecting stuff through / playspacing through. They're box colliders marked as environment but that didnt seem to help. What else do i have to do? It should be a solid wall but the laser pointer selector goes right through.

[rich basin]

Anybody here know how to make a MMD Dance world?
I been wanting to try and make a little one of my own for awhile now but I haven't a clue where to even start

[vagrant shale]

Have you tried making the wall real real thick? Eventually they'll get out of pointer range but if people want to break stuff in VR, they're probably gonna be able to. Does it really matter? Is this something that people are going to be doing outside of their own groups?

[shadow venture]

Having trouble right now. When I installed ProBuilder the tool bar didn't show up.

[vagrant shale]

Can you post a screenshot of the exact error? I'm not very good at spotting them yet but it sounds like one of the handful of errors we see all the time so I'm sure someone will recognize it.

[stone marsh]

Please post screenshots of actual console

[frozen mountain]

I have a world that I've created a few years ago and it is still in VRchat. How do I download my own world to make some changes to upload again? Is there an easy "download world" button in vrchat (i hope)?

I don't think I still have the original world on my computer.

[left rain]

you can't

[stone marsh]

No, there is no way to download your world or any world. Extracting files from vrc, even your own content, violates TOS.

[frozen mountain]

how odd.

[stone marsh]

Always backup your work.

[frozen mountain]

Well I probably have it backed up, I'll have to search.. But it might not exist in its current form. Oh well.

[left rain]

the assets and scripts that comprise a world are compiled upon upload... you can't really reverse that process. even if you could somehow download what's been uploaded to VRC's servers, it'd be a garbled mess

[stone marsh]

I'm glad me saying "post screenshot" was helpful

[bold ibex]

currently making a world, however whenever i try to load into in game it sends me back to my home world

it uploads fine, however buuld and test doesnt work

[subtle maple]

Anyone here have experience using the PostProcessing+ on github before? the one that allow you to create post-processing slider for Dark Mode, Bloom, Saturation, Contrast, Temperature and also presets profile. It mentioned it need UIExpansionKit to be install, is it mean i just need to drag and drop the UIExpansionKit folder to unity assets? Sorry if my question sound dumb 😅

or is this allow to be use to build vrc world?

[runic epoch]

it will let me hit play, but i cant build and publish for some reason

unsure how to fix this

[upper obsidian]

Delete simple light

[stone marsh]

You can use simple light probe placer, it works in 2019, but will throw errors. So when you're done using it. You need to delete it entirely from your scene and project

The probes will stay and the asset still works to place volumes of probes. Just needs to be entirely removed when done placing your probes

[runic epoch]

that worked, ty

[vagrant shale]

I've used Autoprobe without issue and it sounds like it does a similar thing? But you'd have to buy it.

[undone dome]

Can anyone point me to where I can find a tutorial on creating a spawn sound?

[stone marsh]

New udon behavior

On player join>audio source play one shot

Make the play one shot a public variable and add audio source to it.

Add mp3 to audio source

Set audio source to global 2D.

If any issues #udon-general

[undone dome]

Thank you.

[upper obsidian]

Set up tags through the site and publish the world

[vagrant shale]

I don't know about the tag but you need to reach the User level to upload to community labs

Maybe try detaching the Blueprint and publishing to a new ID? The community labs button should be below the checkbox you have to click.

[stone marsh]

Content_sex is a system tag it can't be removed by you

Publishing under a new ID is your only route. System_sex was added by you most likely erroneously during upload if the world was never pushed to labs or reported.

Regardless, there is a way for you to accidentally add that tag during upload. It can also be from reports if there was any sexual content. Take your pick. Doesn't matter. Too easy to upload to a new ID but it honestly is meaningless regardless

I don't know about your situation. Could have been. I'm operating on the assumption you have no NSFW content or NSFW avatars or sexualized themes.

[sullen notch]

Question. Im trying to place trees using the terrain group settings. All my parts have mesh renderers and mesh filters, but when i click to place a tree, the leaves vanish. Is there a way I can fix this?

[wooden merlin]

trying to follow the guide...on the window part...but when i select all 4 edges and then hold shift and click on the blue arrow the wall deforms instead of the edges deforming to make new faces...

[cursive talon]

Would it theoretically be possible to retrieve audio being broadcast onto a server and play it in a VRChat world as background music?

[wooden merlin]

on a server like a sound stream/podcast type deal? seems like a webplayer set to stream mode could probably do that?

[kind portal]

hi if i unpublish my world, those everything be the same if i republish it? like visits,...

[swift trench]

it should retain stats, tho I belive it will need to go through labs again

[hollow helm]

Heyo, when i apply a material to a large object it stretches in a weird way, how do i prevent stretching and have it be a smaller more continuous texture?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

You can adjust the tiling in the material settings

[grim crest]

I've been working on worlds for over a year now and can never seem to get any video players to work. I create a new Unity project Import the newest sdk and whatever video player I want to try and get to work and end up getting the error
"Video Players do not have automatic resync enabled; audio may become desynchronized from video during low performance"
It can be autofixed and when testing the world the video player works fine (whenever I do autofix it) but when I have uploaded a world the video players seem to work for maybe a little and then break, or won't work at all (what happens if I don't autofix the issue)
From what I've seen on here and found on google the auto resync thing should be just enabled with a checkbox on the VRC Unity video player script, but I never see that checkbox. Not with a completely new sdk, recently made video player, newest version of Udon sharp and just created Unity project. I have no idea what the issue is and It's getting annoying. It doesn't seem like I'm the only one with the issue either as I've seen at least 2 other people with this issue. Anyone have any ide on how to fix this or what the issue could even be?

[stone marsh]

That auto resync error is erroneous for the majority of players/use cases. Just ignore it if you don't understand it, it's not a hard error and it doesn't prevent upload.

[grim crest]

Yeah it doesn't prevent me from uploading the world, but the videoplayers are never reliably working in the worlds, or basically don't work at all

[stone marsh]

That doesn't have anything to do with that error

Most players such as ProTV (best) or Usharp player, manage syncing via custom scripting. The sdk will always throw that error for these sort of players. Resync options are on the players main script for both of these.

If you haven't used it, I certainly recommend ProTV as it's the best right now.

If you're having some form of specific issues, more information may be useful, or join the protv discord

[grim crest]

I don't know what is the issue on the videoplayers then, the only error I seem to be getting is that one and no matter if I try to make one myself from scrap or use a prefab they all never really work

[stone marsh]

Well, regardless, it's nothing to do with that error.

Knowing your setup and more info about your project can be useful. Some things can easily break players, such as having them start disabled or being enabled by area triggers.

Other things cause issues, such as bad ping between people

Quest users

Untrusted URLs

Bad links

On and on.

It can be useful to pull the logs or know what errors the players are creating when you try and play a video. Most players have logging and will produce errors, as well as errors on the UI in game. Again, I recommend ProTV pretty heavily.

[hollow helm]

I got an error i dont know how to fix

Assets\Standard Assets\Characters\FirstPersonCharacter\Scripts\FirstPersonController.cs(3,27): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'CrossPlatformInput' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityStandardAssets' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

[stone marsh]

Please always take a screenshot showing the entire console.

I already most likely know the issue but useful to see all errors to ensure there's nothing else.

[stone marsh]

Delete standard assets

[hollow helm]

It was that easy?

[stone marsh]

There should be a folder in your project called that.

There is most likely stuff inside your scene folder too, that needs to be deleted. Will be called scripts or something inside of scenes.

[hollow helm]

me who was pancking about this for half an hour T-T

[stone marsh]

Don't delete your actual scene file, just the folder called scripts inside of the scene folder if it's there.

Standard Assets isn't supported anymore and not used for anything

If you still have errors post screenshot, but if the error says anything related to standard assets, just click the error and it will take you to the thing that needs to be deleted in your asset folder.

[bold ibex]

fix?

[late ruin]

why do i spawn all the way out here when i have a spawn on the main entrance?

[vagrant shale]

Search your project for VRCWorld, drag it where you want people to spawn

@late ruin this might also fix your problem if you aren't using VRCWorld. There is no reason to make your own spawn point object unless you need to do something fancy with it. VRCWorld has a spawn point and allows you to create multiple by dragging in empty game objects if you're so inclined.

[late ruin]

i think its fixed now by changing a few settings. also when i am baking lighting it is saying lighting data asset incompatible with current unity version?

[vagrant shale]

Have you tried clearing your baked lighting and generating again? That's what it's telling you to do.

[late ruin]

how would i clear the baked lighting?

[vagrant shale]

There's an arrow to the right of generate lighting that includes the option to bake reflection probes and to clear baked lighting.

[swift trench]

Is is poible to limit the ammount of mipmaps there are or the bius of it

cus my normal maps are making a shild shape on quest (was cube before I enabled smotthing) and I aaaaaaa

on pc it makes circle

[wooden merlin]

can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong that i can't do the window part of the tutorial vid?

instead of the 4 edges exctruding to create new faces the face they share deforms...

[vagrant shale]

What tutorial video? I have no idea what you're referring to.

[wooden merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofzw6hKhI3k&list=PLPdWkxUSZ65Fp6ICrU7mIq1znAfPwMhNZ << people were talking about this series being pretty much the best so i assumed it was kinda like an unofficially official kinda thing.

around 9:59

[gaunt egret]

pinned

[wooden merlin]

are you saying the reason unity isn't working as expected is explained in a pin, or...?

[vagrant shale]

@wooden merlin I don't know about this shift arrow thing he's talking about, to extrude, I hit the e key and then enter and then I move the points out where I want them.

[wooden merlin]

e just calls up the rotation gizmo.

[vagrant shale]

You can also just press e with the faces selected and that will move them in the direction of the normal, I believe but I prefer to just move with the gizmo or hotkeys

R rotates, E extrudes. If it doesn't, you may have some hotkeys that have been reassigned and should re-download Blender.

[wooden merlin]

again e is just calling up the rotation gizmo...it doesn't extrude at all.

erm...this is all in unity my guy...didn't you notice the ui looked nothing like blender?

[vagrant shale]

I did not, I'd completely forgotten you can model in Unity. I don't know, then. Just do it Blender like a normal person.

[wooden merlin]

i really hate when the advice to fix a problem is to start all over and find a new tutorial. >.<

[vagrant shale]

I don't know how many people here use Probuilder, I think most do their modeling in Blender so you'll have to find someone that uses Probuilder to give you any direction or use Blender which more people know how to use.

[left rain]

probuilder is what a lot of newbies start out with because it's simpler than modeling in blender and you don't have to leave unity to do it. krampus is right that modeling in a dedicated app like blender is the right path in the long run, but it doesn't mean you can't use probuilder to help you learn about the process.

anyways @wooden merlin check the manual; you need to switch the extrude operation to Individual Faces mode

[vagrant shale]

You're just gonna be dependent upon other people that know Probuilder if you run into problems. I figured it would have its own Discord server but I guess not.

[left rain]

I'm not disagreeing that a dedicated 3D app is a better long term choice but saying "just use blender" still isn't answering the question

[wooden merlin]

is this something that changed since the tutorial vid was made?

[left rain]

i don't know. i've barely touched probuilder

[vagrant shale]

I mean, I tried to answer the question, I just ignored the UI because I figured if there was 3D modeling happening, it was Blender. 😅

[left rain]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.0/manual/Face_Extrude.html

[wooden merlin]

honestly i could probably have this modeled in a matter of minutes if i used sketchup since i could just import the clue map as a 2d plane, ad a bunch of vertexes and edges and extrude the walls up then separete it into materials to be add textures to...but i wanted to fallow this tutorial since i assume it's not just about modeling.

[left rain]

do it in SketchUp then, seriously... once you've imported your stuff into unity everything is basically the same

probuilder is just there to help you build simple meshes quickly but if you already know how to build models elsewhere you don't need it

[wooden merlin]

i assumed the tutorial delves into stuff other than modeling and was just gonna follow along till i got to that stuff.

also learning an alternate way to model didn't seem like a terrible thing.

[gaunt egret]

i mentioned the pinned because theres a video directly in it. ive never seen any use for probuilder besides the most basic block outs

learning blender is a huge skill to have

[wooden merlin]

i don't know why but i find blender's interface massively infuriorating.

[vagrant shale]

The videos after that should be applicable to any other house model you import. The layout might be a bit different but the process is the same.

[wooden merlin]

part of it comes down to how all of the camera controls are on the middle click. where as sketchup/vroid/unity all have reletively simmilar camera controls to eachother for instance right click being used to rotate the camera and middle click to pan it.

[gaunt egret]

i don't say it bc im elitist or whatever but blender is huge, has tons of tutorials, tons of documentation, millions of people use it and contribute to its succession in multiple different ways from tutorials, free assets and free addons

[vagrant shale]

You should've seen it 3 or 4 years ago, they used the right mouse button to select, it was madness. I think it works pretty well now but Sketchup is going to be a more powerful option than Probuilder, I think.

[left rain]

you can use maya-style camera controls in blender

[gaunt egret]

ive been using it for years, right click is nothing but every keybind can be changed to whatever you want

[wooden merlin]

it's so annoying when i'm in blender and i go to pan and the context menu pops up for a second and i have to worry about if i activated one of the options.

[left rain]

change the control scheme to "industry standard" or whatever they call it

[wooden merlin]

rotate* not pan

i wouldn't know how to do that. but it's def somethign i'll be looking into. :p

[left rain]

if you already know anything about 3d, and it sounds like you do, you're largely wasting your time with probuilder

[gaunt egret]

^

plus with blender you can do procedural stuff way easier

[left rain]

blender is definitely weird if you have any prior experience with 3d but there are alternate control schemes out there that are easier to transition to

[late ruin]

the spawn point is attached to my avatars feet i don't know why?

[vagrant shale]

Having to keep multiple navigation schemes just comes with the territory of building up your toolbox of skills. Sometimes going between Daz, Unity, and Blender screws me up for a minute but then I just find my footing and I'm good but I guess reassigning things is also an option if you want them to be as similar as possible.

[left rain]

if proceduralism is your jam I'd check out Houdini too, but that's a whole extra commitment, it's hard to use

[wooden merlin]

oh that brings up something me and a friend have had issue with in unity. we're both used to "model is focus of camera rotation" instead of "camera is focus of camera rotation" if that makes any sense. i found you can switch this behavior in unity by switching from perspective to parallel...but it'd be nice if i could rotate properly in both views...

[vagrant shale]

I don't even know what that means. How can a spawn point be on your avatar?

[left rain]

press F to focus on a model, then alt+left drag in the viewport to pivot around

same as maya

[vagrant shale]

I just use fly mode for everything in Unity

[gaunt egret]

what is fly mode

my only bane with unity is the camera controls

so painful

[vagrant shale]

Right click and then WASD to fly around

[cobalt prawn]

Q and E for up/down as well

[wooden merlin]

huh fly mode is interesting.

[gaunt egret]

thank you

[wooden merlin]

still think i'd prefer to be able to just rotate around the model. 😛

[cobalt prawn]

And shift to go faster

[gaunt egret]

perhaps i should not stay awake for 28 hours and then create a project :')

[left rain]

i literally just explained how

[wooden merlin]

which again i can in iso but not persp.

[wooden merlin]

so there's no way to just make right click in persp act like right click in iso?

[normal jackal]

I need help

I’ve been struggling for days now

I’m trying to update my quest world but the sdk won’t show the control panel

[left rain]

not that I'm aware of, just select the object to pivot around, hit F to focus, then alt+LMB to rotate the camera like normal

[normal jackal]

Now it only shows reload sdk

[left rain]

you probably have compile errors

[late ruin]

ill show you one sec

[normal jackal]

I don’t understand what that means ;-; like I’ve tried reloading the sdk I’ve tried reimporting it when I close unity and open it again it shows the little buttons I need but won’t pull up the control panel

[left rain]

check the error console

chances are you have some imported package or something that is throwing an error

[normal jackal]

VRCBuildPipelineCallbacks failed to load a type in assembly 'VRC.Collections, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. If this is Assembly-CSharp it's just Unity being in the middle of loading.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object)
VRC.SDKBase.Editor.BuildPipeline.VRCBuildPipelineCallbacks:Initialize ()
UnityEditor.EditorAssemblies:ProcessInitializeOnLoadMethodAttributes ()

That’s the error I see for the sdk I think

[left rain]

show a screenshot of the entire error log

[left rain]

ok. and you are using unity 2019.4.31f1, and the latest VRC SDK 3.0?

[normal jackal]

Yes

[left rain]

did you recently install a custom package? some prefab or something?

[wooden merlin]

just to check should i just continue this tutorial vid and ignore all of the modeling stuff or should i jump ship and find some other tutorial for non modeling things?

[vagrant shale]

I'd just skip to the next video, that covers materials and the next is lighting so that should be unimpacted by the modeling.

[normal jackal]

I don’t believe so, I know I just exported the PC version it was just fine opened a new file for the quest world and imported it and a ton of errors

[vagrant shale]

At least if you like how it's been going up till now. There are 100 world creation videos out there so if you don't like how this person teaches, you've got options.

[normal jackal]

Last time I attempted to update it there was a cinema machine error

I fixed that, that’s where I’m lost because the PC one is just fine

This update is vital ;-;

[left rain]

ok. instead of opening a new file for the quest world and importing, what I'd recommend is literally copying your entire project root folder to a new folder, then open that new project via unity hub, then switch the target build to android

chances are, whatever you imported into your new file was missing dependencies from your original project

[normal jackal]

… I’m sorry I feel stupid

[left rain]

brute force method is to just copy

[normal jackal]

Ok let’s try that

Can I call you and share my screen so I don’t horribly mess up like I think I’m about to

[left rain]

if you prepare for it, next time there are tools like EasyQuestSwitch that can help you change components as you switch back and forth without having to copy the project

I'm sorry i can't take calls right now

just go to your file system and literally copy the unity project. it will probably take thirty minutes

[normal jackal]

It’s ok

The file?

[left rain]

the project root folder

duplicate the whole thing

[normal jackal]

The file highlighted is the one that’s the one it takes me too when I push show in explorer

[left rain]

if that folder contains "Assets", "Packages", and all that, it's the right folder

[late ruin]

sorry my bad it is teleporting me back to spawn when i walk?

[wooden merlin]

if making a life scale clue game would 1 meter per square be a decent scale you guys think?

[normal jackal]

Ok I’m terrified lmao sorry

I just don’t want to lose it after just getting out of the labs

[left rain]

that's why you're copying, not overwriting things

[vagrant shale]

That's a weird one. You've got a proper floor collider and you're walking on it and constantly being taken back to the spawn point?

[normal jackal]

It’s almost done

[vagrant shale]

I haven't played clue in many years but sounds reasonable to me.

[wooden merlin]

also is there a scale factor calculator out there somewhere where you put in the current mm and the desired mm and it tells you the % to scale?

[late ruin]

yes it was working it is a terrain and everything was fine now its messed up for some reason

[wooden merlin]

i can do it but it is always a pain in my backside and i do it so often just having a calculator at hand would be nice.

[vagrant shale]

I think any calculator could do that. Take the desired size and divide by the current size and then scale things up by that amount

[vagrant shale]

Maybe try using a plane instead of the terrain for your collision to see if that's the problem?

[normal jackal]

It’s doin something

Thank you

It’s updating

I’m not I’m saying thank you

[normal jackal]

Thank you times a billion

[left rain]

ha it's just the bot. and you're welcome. good luck

[normal jackal]

It did just pop up with an error on the side but since it’s still uploading I’m going to ignore it>.>

[vagrant shale]

Errors only matter if they stop you from doing something you're trying to do

[late ruin]

didnt work i have now re done my spawn and its back to square one spawning me at the edge of the map

[vagrant shale]

How is your spawn set up? Are you just using VRCWorld or are you trying to do something else? Because I don't recommend that. Also, is it just spawning you at the edge of the map and not respawning you constantly? You could call that progress unless it's also doing that.

[boreal sierra]

its supposed to be like this but when i move my player/camera it changes shade depending on where im standing

[vagrant shale]

#world-lighting

[mint mesa]

Does anyone ever get this weird thing with colliders that make your avatar just kinda jitter. You wont see it unless you have phyc bones or dynamic bones on. This happens on all types of colliders, and if you are on like a mesh that has a collider on you, your avatar does the falling and landing animation non stop. idk how this even happens or how to stop it.

Forgot the video and it wouldnt let me add it on the original post :P

[vagrant shale]

I think that's just because the slope is too great so you keep falling between steps.

[stone marsh]

Yep. The slope is simply too steep

You're not properly grounded.

You can actually set the falling animation to a toggle so you can disable it using AV3. GoGoLoco also has this setup. You can also remove the falling animation entirely.

[mint mesa]

Its not just me though, everyone is affected here that has a falling animation

[stone marsh]

Yep

It's the slope

[mint mesa]

This isnt even a slope

[stone marsh]

You're standing on the edge of step...

[mint mesa]

then standing on a flat surface you just jitter

[stone marsh]

If you're on an edge or a slope or corner of a surface you'll not be properly grounded

Poorly setup colliders can exasperate this. But it's typical behavior in all worlds when your capsule is only partially grounded.

[mint mesa]

nah its only in 2 worlds I am working on. So its poorly setup colliders then. Which blows my mind cause I will have 2 planes, both with box colliders and only 1 has the problem

im just lost in the sauce but thank you for replying quick lol

[wooden merlin]

should the walls of a mansion be about 2.5 meters or more?

[stone marsh]

2m is about the min you want to go. Iirc the actual capsule is 1.65 or 1.75 or something like that now but you don't want your collider under 2m if you expect anyone to be able to walk in there.

[wooden merlin]

i'm asking specifically about the aesthetics of the hallways of a mansion.

[stone marsh]

Well, that's kinda up to you. Hard to make any form of subjective opinions based on aesthetics without ya know, seeing it.

[wooden merlin]

i'm usually using sketchup to draft stuff like tables and cabinets. this is my first time trying to create an environment and i don't want it to feel like it's just an appartment since mr boddy is supposed to be one of the richest men in the victorian era.

so i can't really use my own scale sensibilities since i've always been poor.

meant to sent that pic with the last message

[vagrant shale]

I think average wall height is around 8 ft so a mansion could easily go past 10 and that's before you get into vaulted ceilings.

[wooden merlin]

so maybe go 3 meters in the common halls and then 4+ in the rooms?

[vagrant shale]

Sounds like a reasonable starting point

[cobalt prawn]

Yeah I feel like a Victorian style mansion would probably be around 10-12ft but I'm no expert on architecture or anything. Maybe you could find some blueprints or floor plans online that detail heights too

Or just look at photos and eyeball it

[wooden merlin]

hrm...any of you use sketchup? i forget how to make a wall that is acting as an inside into an outside...

nvm deleting and remaking fixxed it.

[wooden merlin]

...ok "thirteen feet?"(was supposed to be all caps to demonstrate my astonisgment. but the bot doesn't care about that vs impatience i guess.)

[vagrant shale]

And that's just the average, an opulent mansion could be more. It might not be a bad idea like jason said to find some existing examples as a reference, I would imagine there are people that have recreated famous Victorian homes in sketchup.

[wooden merlin]

"That low" what?

[vagrant shale]

Seems like a typo but maybe this article was written by Jeff Bezos

[wooden merlin]

hrm...i just realized i am not quite sure what kind of lighting the mansion would have...late victorian would be right about the time that mantle gas was still super common on the street but filament incandescent electric lights were finding thier way into homes...so maybe electric sconses? heck i dunno if natural gas mantle lights were used in homes ever...that seems insanely dangerous. it was fine outdoors since the gas would just escape if there was a problem...i'd guess people just used candles indoors prior to electric but past people could also be very stupid. 😛

[vagrant shale]

Actually, the previous paragraph was more relevant to this topic so I'd just call it 20 ft.

[wooden merlin]

ok that's weird...it seems like sketchup has learned that i want it to snap to 250mm for wall thickness...does sketchup learn stuff like that?

[vagrant shale]

Oh no, Sketchup is becoming sentient.

[wooden merlin]

like i was having to type for a while but aftera bit it seems like when i drag out before doing the typing it just snaps to the 250...

that begs the question of how colonel mustard killed mr boddy in the library with a candlestick. 😛 wouldn't a candlestick be pointless if the home was wired for electric? boddy probably just had it for oppulences' sake?

[left rain]

i think a combination of gas and candles is correct

[wooden merlin]

the conservatory doorway comes otu a bit weird in 3d...i feel like i should extendthat wall out a bit to come under the archway to give the door proper mounting space.

[vagrant shale]

Looks like someone has already built a base if you want to just use that https://3dmdb.com/en/3d-model/clue/9643567/

[wooden merlin]

hrm...like i can see how that's based on it...but that's just weird...the ballroom is the front door, the stairs are replaced with a pool, the conservatory is a fully outdoors space...oh weird you can walk behind the lounge...

or wait the entryway is the hall? so it'st he lounge that's cut out? ok what?

and they just did away witht eh ballroom. that seems even weirder.

[vagrant shale]

It looked similar at a glance but maybe their version of the game is different. I figured someone would have done that by now so I did a little searching and that was the closest I could find.

[wooden merlin]

don't get me wrong, it's apreciated...but i think i'd feel more comfortable doing it mysefl than using this since i'm building off the boardgame i know it'll work with an udon powered life scale game. 😛

when i get to udon that's when the real fun starts. it's all fresh learning not retailoring my existing skills.

[vagrant shale]

I'm not sure how you're planning on doing this but it will be interesting to see if it makes it there. There's a game called Killer I think where the killer has to killer everyone without getting caught by the others, is the idea something like that?

[wooden merlin]

nah, i am going to replicate the actual boardgame, you'll call up an udon menu on your turn to "roll the dice" then move the number of squares and if you are in a room you can call up the udon menu to propose a scenario and then the other players can use their menus to show contradicting evidence.

i did think of basically adding a second gamemode which would basically be based on amongus.

one person is the killer and has to kill everyone else but i'd replace the kill cooldown with having to find weapons. but otherwise basically stock amongus.

[vagrant shale]

That sounds pretty complicated but I've seen some pretty impressive stuff done with Udon so I'm sure it's possible.

[wooden merlin]

after this i also want to make a version of resistance. town of salem is fun and all but the fact that the host can't participate and the turns take so much longer makes it hard to get non pug games going.

[wooden merlin]

coming together.

[austere hull]

how i render 4 of same texture instead of one stretched one

[vagrant shale]

Multiply the x and y tiles in the material settings by 4. At least if I understand what you're trying to do.

Actually, it would be 2. 4 would give you 16.

[austere hull]

okay i found out

i couldnt check because i was using atlas

now when i cut texture out of it i can do that

now im wondering it might be better to just make map out of 1000 cubes

will it lag very bad or vrchat can handle it

[vagrant shale]

You want to use part of an atlas? I think you'd have to adjust the UV map in Blender for that.

1000 regular cubes would probably be okay, that's only 6000 faces which is less than a lot of avatars. I don't know if making them separate objects would cause issues but you could combine them into a single object which should perform just fine.

[austere hull]

nono

they must be separate because

i want players be able to interact with each separate floor and wall tile

so 1000 clickable tiles might be bit more laggy

[stone marsh]

They would batch

Assuming same material. Could GPU instance as well since low poly

[austere hull]

will have bunch of materials

[vagrant shale]

Making them clickable I don't think would be an issue unless they're all being used at once.

[stone marsh]

Well, that's bad design

[austere hull]

nono

[stone marsh]

Mo materials, mo draw calls, nothing batches, mo frame time

[austere hull]

giving player a shovel so he can dig anywhere he want

so when he would hold shovel he can click at any cube on the map

so every cube would need udon thingy

[vagrant shale]

Could they have the same material but just be mapped to different parts of the texture? That's atlasing but it seems like you're trying to avoid. I'm still not sure how digging with a shovel is related to clicking cubes but 1000 materials is going to be more taxing than the geometry of 1000 cubes

[austere hull]

if i use lots of cubes then i can use atlas

[stone marsh]

This is the way. Just UV offset. All one material, can have a ton of unique styles

[austere hull]

because then i use tiling for specifying atlas tile and not duplicating tiles

thought about detecting closest tile to player and make hole in there but i guess i cant randomly make holes in the collider

as well in texture

[austere hull]

can i require player to hold button aiming at object for few seconds rather than just clicking

[stone marsh]

I mean it's technically possible but doing so would require a fairly complex setup for a beginner. But bout anything is possible, especially if done in U#.

[vagrant shale]

It's' true that there isn't a simple way of actually utilizing tiling in an atlas but what you could do if just having the tiles in your actual atlas isn't an option, you could split each face into 4 and then overlap every face over the appropriate part of the texture. It would bring the polycount for 1,000 cubes from 12,000 tris to 48,000 but that's really not bad if that's all you've got going on in your scene and they're all using a single atlas

[wooden merlin]

so i want a staircase from the "lobby" to the gameboard. i can model it as either a ramp or as stairs. but i want it to look like stairs but collide like a ramp. how do i go about doing this? is it something i do in unity or in sketchup?

[stone marsh]

Just model the stairs and then add a box collider and rotate and position it such that it's a ramp

[wooden merlin]

cool thanx. so i'm guessing then that this is the right way to handle stairs you don't have to jump up? like the game engine doesn't have a "traversable height" that avatars can just walk up?

[stone marsh]

I mean, yeah, it's one way of doing stairs. The steps need to be small enough otherwise for someone to walk up if the stairs themselves had a mesh collider.

[wooden merlin]

oh, what is the height that is naturally traversable? i'm gonna guess with my luck less than 250mm. 😛

[bold ibex]

How can I give an object a collider that doesn't not collide with the player but still collides with the environment and raycasts?

This is for a shield

My current issue is the shield will glitch the player out when it collides with them

It shoves them or moves them

[wooden merlin]

erm...i just realized. i basically just finished the MESH for my world...yeah I made ONE contiguous MESH..that's gonna make it really hard to texture isn't it?

[stone marsh]

Not really. Use blender or substance

[wooden merlin]

seing as how this is the first model i've made from scratch that was intended to be textured i'd nothave a clue how to do that...nor do i know what substance is...

[stone marsh]

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

[wooden merlin]

so my world is about 50M b 50M by 12M...Is that big or not really?

what's the best format to export to to import into blender so i can try to figure out how to texture this there?

[near escarp]

fbx

[wooden merlin]

...i have to upgrade to paid to export now?

[near escarp]

[wooden merlin]

i'm gonna be ticked if i just spent a whole day modeling something only to be unable to use it because of a greedy mega corporation thinking they don't have enough money...

[sullen notch]

Uh i dont think this is how my trees are supposed to sway KEKW

[dusty sapphire]

Does stereo pan setting not work in vrchat? I'm trying to play a song from two virtual speakers with proper stereo split by having two audio sources playing the same song with left and right panning, but it doesn't seem to work in vrchat. Works fine in unity though.
EDIT: nvm, I decided to just split the song into separate channels using ffmpeg instead of dealing with this crap.

Hey ! I recently started building my own World. And now i have alot of problems there and cant upload nor access some tools.
In case someone could help me, just dm or @ me

I got alot of error codes and dont know why nor how to fix them

[stone marsh]

You have errors in your console. Post screenshot of your console if you don't understand rhem

[sand forge]

In here?

[gaunt egret]

blender is free and also not a mega corp

[sacred warren]

Is there a solid way to keep two animations synced? Not necessarily between users, I mean two different animations in the same world, both the same length so just need to make sure they start/end at the same time.

[barren spindle]

How do you fix this "seeing through walls" with post processing. I did the same thing setting as the other world I made. but this happens

[sand forge]

In the scene tab above the window, next to the number of hidden objects

The grid button

[barren spindle]

Oh there we go, thank you

[sand forge]

No problem!

[sand forge]

re uploaded the screenshots again since you can see it better here. These are the errors that i get and i dont know how to fix them.

[inland cave]

Did you start with a standard 3D project? Also do you need the collab package that Unity is failing to build? If not you should remove it and try again.

[sand forge]

Yeah standard 3D

I followed a guide, it worked at first, but afterwards when i started adding more stuff, it just broke

I dont know about the collab package but i could try removing it i guess

It just gives another error

re imported UdonSharp, now its this

[inland cave]

Id try removing the collab package, you shouldnt need it for VRChat

[sand forge]

Removing like? How?

I removed it and it just made new ones, or im doing it wrong

now this

[final radish]

[wooden merlin]

I was talking about sketchup which if i reall was owned by google wasn't it?

[bold ibex]

[left rain]

[spark comet]

i want try hide my VIP room out map so people wont be easy find it and etc. but atm they can see it out of Spawn?

[elfin lotus]

Anyone thinking of making a weakest link cross platform but actually works for quest users there is one that is cross platform but for some reason it doesn’t work for quest people

[sand forge]

I hate it, these errors in my world dont disappear. Im still stuck here

[vagrant shale]

Search your project for avatar pedestal and there's a spot in the udon behavior to put your avatar ID you can copy from your content manager.

[vagrant shale]

The game show?

[spark comet]

thanks!

[vagrant shale]

You're gonna have a better shot at resolving that if you repost your errors rather than just lamenting about unnamed errors going unresolved.

[sand forge]

I did

[sand forge]

.

I tried different things, but that collab thing and the top error still stay

[elfin lotus]

Yes

[wooden merlin]

can this texture mapping issue be fixed in unity or blender? i have no idea why sketchup thinks a round surface should be rendered out of order and with overlaps...

[left rain]

yeah, project new UVs in blender

[jagged ledge]

hello my vrchat friends, as follows I post two pictures with errors I have in Unity. Hopefully you can help me. 🙂

[austere hull]

are keys shared between pc and vr users or i have to make separate bindings for both

[sand forge]

Same

[jagged ledge]

it is really confusing. I create a nice looking world test it permanently in vrchat and suddenly these errors appear and I can not start it anymore in vrchat 😦

[left rain]

do not import Unity Standard Assets into your project

they are not compatible with VRChat

[sand forge]

Yeah same !

I have the same problem

But other errors

[jagged ledge]

how can I find out which assets not compatible?

most of the things i have in the world just worked fine

[left rain]

working fine in the editor is one thing, but VRChat does not allow any C# scripts aside from a few whitelisted ones

the Unity Standard Assets package includes a lot of scripts, none of which are whitelisted for use in VRChat

[vagrant shale]

Maybe you're trying to do something else but interacts are typically more abstract in Udon. For example, you have an interact node which is activated by interacting with the object and that happens with whatever method the player is using to do the interaction so it works for any control scheme they have set up to perform that function.

Yeah, if you just delete the scripts from Standard Assets then it should be fine, you can still use the models and the materials.

[austere hull]

but if i want use more keys then

for example quest has these joystick buttons that are not used for anything

[vagrant shale]

Specific keybindings are not something I'm real familiar with but I imagine you would get into having to reference buttons that aren't shared across all platforms.

[sand forge]

Some of my errors are the same as yours actualy

[jagged ledge]

I dont have any skripts, just imported materials like table and fishes

and I tested it in vrchat

it worked fine

but now it dont work

[left rain]

okay, well, that error you are getting is very obviously coming from a script in standard assets

so maybe remove that

[stone marsh]

^ yep. Standard assets has to be removed.

[sand forge]

You guys know whats up with my? I posted it a bit earlier

[jagged ledge]

Sorry I dont know what standard assets are

[left rain]

they're a package. you imported them.

it's called "Unity Standard Assets".

[stone marsh]

You need to remove the standard asset folders

If you click the error it will take you to the location in your assets

[left rain]

it looks like a "collab" package you imported? try removing those files from your project entirely

[sand forge]

Hmm

The com.unity.collab ?

[vagrant shale]

All the standard asset errors are coming from standard assets/effects/imageeffects/scripts so if you just delete that folder, you should be fine.

[sand forge]

I deleted it, but it just re appeard

[left rain]

did you upgrade this project from a previous version of unity?

[sand forge]

No

It was all downloaded and started 2 days ago

[left rain]

try going to the package manager and checking what version of Unity Collaborate is installed. what you have might not be compatible with 2019. but i'm not sure exactly how this could have happened.

[sand forge]

Where do i see the version?

[left rain]

in the package manager.

[sand forge]

1.15.4 ?

[jagged ledge]

thank you very much 😄 I deleted the standard assets folder and it worked really well ;D Can you please tell what the problem with that folder is? 🙂

[left rain]

i explained it already... standard assets contains a bunch of C# scripts and you can't use those with VRChat unless they're specifically whitelisted

[jagged ledge]

ok thanks^^
