world-quest

[hardy gate]

in 12 days marks a whole year theyve worked

[violet cave]

Does it only work on specific worlds? Because my friend has a Quest 2 and it doesn't work for him (untrusted url's enabled), when I put in an url in player.

[hardy gate]

depends on videoplayer, but you can make them work via YTDL, or invidious, or jinnai if the videoplayer doesnt work

[violet cave]

Sorry, I have no idea what those words mean, I am not a developer : /

[hardy gate]

id go to a world that states it has a quest ready videoplayer

[violet cave]

ok, thanks for the help anyway

[vital lance]

Anyone wannna play haunted asylum

[hardy gate]

who?

[glossy oxide]

Does any one know how to make a world show for quest 2?

[light kiln]

how do i enable the jump mod?

in sdk 3?

here the tutorial says to add it like that, but this is sdk 2 and in the 3 i get no result

that's a component to the VRCworld

@hardy gate

[hardy gate]

its in the vrc scene descriptor if youve added the vrcworld prefab

[light kiln]

so it is already set up in the vrcworld prefab

[hardy gate]

should be

[light kiln]

how do i open this window?

[hardy gate]

top mac desktop, theres a vrchat sdk dropdown. hit control panal

[light kiln]

do i have to login with my vrchat account right?

[tribal moat]

Yes

[cursive horizon]

So I need help finding a world I've been to. It's a sleep/rest world but there were several rooms in the shapes of pods

Like, you go into the pod and you could lock it. Can anyone tell me the name if the world sounds familiar

[short bolt]

what am i doing wrong

[south storm]

it tells you what component your scene needs

[tribal moat]

Add a scene descriptor by clicking add component at the bottle left

[fringe schooner]

Does anyone know or have any good hangout worlds?

[lost basalt]

room of the rain is my favorite

i always meet good people there

plus theres a pool table

[fringe schooner]

Ok I'll try it out

[opaque brook]

Are there any quest horror games?

[solid sage]

Fnaf help wanted, but it cost money

[opaque brook]

noted thanks

[solid sage]

Np

[cursive horizon]

Does anyone know the name of the sleep world that had like, pods you could go into and sleep?

[hallow void]

Working on a new shader for quest/pc worlds that adds in specular highlights to baked lighting and also box projected reflection probes to quest

(everything is baked, nothing is realtime)

[coarse grail]

very nice how well does the Shader perform on the quest

[hallow void]

Well with this world using 6 reflection probes(yes I know it doesn't need that many reflection probes, I'm just not very good at using them lol), 12 materials, 10k tris, and only calculating 4 specular highlights it's running at 70-80fps. So at a small scale it runs really well, at a larger scale I'm not sure yet

[coarse grail]

cool

[quartz scaffold]

it's running at 70-80fps
I mean, VRChat caps the Quest at 72fps so...

[hallow void]

I don't remember the exact number but it was above 70, that's why I said in between that range. I can hop on and record again if you'd like

[quartz scaffold]

Pretty much I'm saying that there's probably no fps drops at that scale

[hallow void]

Ahh okay got it 👍

[lost basalt]

ok i havent tried to make a world yet, anything i should know before i start

[coarse grail]

definitely learn how to bake lighting so your performance doesn't suck

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

[coarse grail]

and probably go to start with a small map as your first project so you don't get overwhelmed

[lost basalt]

ye i was planning on it, i just want a little room for my avatars!

[coarse grail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLi52YrrDmY&t=12s

I found this tutorial series to be pretty decent for newbie World makers

[lost basalt]

thank you!!

[coarse grail]

hope that goes okay making a little room for your avatar

out of curiosity is your primary platform Quest given that you're in the quest World Channel

[lost basalt]

yes <:

[coarse grail]

cool then definitely keep the performance constraints of the platform in mind

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-optimization

[opaque brook]

are there any quest horror games on vrchat?

[hardy gate]

rest and sleep paralysis

[opaque brook]

thanks

[glossy jasper]

Hey, does anyone here know of any shaders I could use to create an ocean on a quest?

[coarse grail]

https://vrcprefabs.com/ there should be some Quest compatible water shaders on here

[glossy jasper]

Cheers, I'll have a look

[sleek silo]

consider me interested. are you gonna share this somewhere when it's finished?

[hallow void]

Possibly, I’m not sure yet. Really depends on if I can get everything working exactly how I want it to

[versed idol]

Guys, I made this Harry Potter room quest compatible, I even added Easter eggs and wands, can you suggest me more stuff to add in order to make it more cozy or interesting?

https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_5066da04-5ca6-4cf1-967d-c4b77243758e

[hallow void]

I made a public world demonstrating the shader, it’s not perfect, the shader isn’t done yet, but you’ll get to see it if you like, here it is https://vrch.at/wrld_9f44ec25-281d-43b4-aaa2-9bf155b724b6

[fierce stone]

What shader would be used to make something reflective with the probe? None of the VRchat>mobile ones seem to do the trick, unless I'm doing something wrong.

[past shell]

Standard shader

You don't need to only use the mobile shader on quest but try to as much as possible when possible.

[fierce stone]

Ohhhh, I thought it was actually not possible/acceptable to use the standard shader, will try this out later. I have a really small world with just 2 meshes that need to reflect, so performance should not get tooo bad

There would probably not be a shader available that is lighter than the Unity standard shader for this right? I just need the main texture and the reflection on it, nothing else

[short robin]

(unless you go onto SideQuest and uncap your FPS, but that's like running an ADB command)

[hardy gate]

it is understandable to use normie standard on quest, however- some mobile shaders on quest avatars may look a bit finnicky

would suggest using a mobile shader that supports reflections via specular and does not calculates the probes position unless nessicary

[fierce stone]

Any shader suggestions that support the reflections of the probe?

[hardy gate]

try out some of the mobile shaders unity has, i usually have shaders ive made over time that i use for specific application

[dusk field]

In my world, some quest users report sliding around when they stop walking, some get stuck in a specific spot in the world near spawn. Does anyone know what i can do about this?

[fierce stone]

I managed to get the reflection to work, with a boxed projection in Unity. Only when the world is visited in-game, the reflection is not boxed anymore, any idea why that happens?

[hardy gate]

could be the shader, mobile shaders will default to not using box projection even if its on

[fierce stone]

It's the Standard Unity shader for now

[hardy gate]

iirc, the newer sdks reset the graphics preference back to default on runtime, youre best would be to calculate reflection probes inside the shader from world point

[fierce stone]

Yee, I do see that in the project graphic settings the settings are locked again

[fierce stone]

Calculating it inside the shader?

[hardy gate]

ye, so like, if its specular, youd need to get WORLDPOSITION in v2f and then multiply the xyz axises iirc

regular standard is similiar if not the same

[hallow void]

Currently working on a shader that does all of that and more, if you scroll up you can see it

[hardy gate]

well ill be

mind if i can check it out?

[hallow void]

I'm not sending over the shader, still not sure if I'll be making it public or not, but if you scroll up a bit to the most recent world in this chat you can see a demonstration of it there

[hardy gate]

ill check it out. assuming its a mixed bake scene, right?

[hallow void]

fully baked

[hardy gate]

were you able to get optimal realtime reflections as well?

oh ok

[hallow void]

Well it uses reflection probes, so it's as realtime it can get with out using screen space reflections lol

[hardy gate]

wait, the reflection probes arent baked?

hmm

[hallow void]

They are baked into a texture

[hardy gate]

now i really need to see this place lol

[hallow void]

Have fun lol

[hardy gate]

what about realtime gi?

[hallow void]

Everything is fully baked into a lightmap

so the answer is no

[hardy gate]

k, does it have support or a texture slot for it?

[hallow void]

Atm no, but I can add one in

atm the shader gets the generated lightmap from unity atm and uses that

[hardy gate]

k

thats something that i need to work on, rtgi maps are huuuuge

and itd be great to edit them/compress them better

[hallow void]

well you can access the lightmaps if you go to the scene folder in your project

after baking unity makes another folder to hold the lightmaps

[hardy gate]

right, but to switch out lightmaps/make in png or other stuff like maybe a rendertexture

or to change the color of the lightmap, random stuff like that

[hallow void]

Ahh okie got it, yea

I'm opening my project right now to test something out

so the lightmaps are saved as an exr which you can convert into an hdr or a png, but that will probably break some stuff. I just need to work out how to add in the ability for adding in custom directional lightmaps as I can grab and use it from unity but having the shader calculate it's self how to use it, I'm not sure yet how to do. I'll be looking into that though

Oh actually nvm, I think I know how to do it now

[hardy gate]

well if you got o_1 = UnityLightMap_SampleTex2D.xy * UnityLightMap_SampleTex2D.wz;

[hallow void]

Mhm, that's easy, but then the directional lightmap is a bit different, but I think I have that sorted now

[hardy gate]

you should be able to do half3/4 lm = DecodeLightmap(_Lightmaptex, o_1.inuv2);

oh ye, theres like a seperation that i cant remember exactly

[hallow void]

You're all good, don't worry about it lol

[hardy gate]

i think #IF_UNITYDIRECTIONALLIGHTMAP or something similar

[hallow void]

Hmm okie

[hardy gate]

but i think youd need to be in defered rendering roght?

but ye, have fun lol

[hallow void]

I think so

Thank you, I will xD

[lost basalt]

can i only use the default shaders for worlds?

[coarse grail]

you can use custom shaders just the performance might be bad or might not render correctly because it using pc only instruction sets

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-optimization#shaders

[lost basalt]

kk ty!

[forest glacier]

Bro I staid plying vr all nigh long and i am soooooo tired

[thick jolt]

Same

[mossy prawn]

Hi can someone help me out pls? When I try to put down a portal marker and use the "move tool", I can't see the rectangle like usual, only this thing. The rectangle appears when I use the "edit bounding volume tool", but I need to see it while I'm moving it (as I've been able to do to this point). The game object is active. Any idea how I can fix this? Thx. edit: and it's not a zooming issue

[sand frigate]

I'm new to uploading PC and Quest Compatible worlds, and every quest user I've seen thus far in my world sees burning hot ass pink everywhere in there, except for the skybox. Is there a way to fix the materials in the world without using VRC Mobile shaders, since none of the shaders in that tab work at all?

[prisma flower]

Anyone know where i can find a future diary (mirai nikki) avatar World im lookin for a yuki avatar

[gleaming cape]

Does anyone know off any good forest worlds?

[rose jetty]

They should work, also the reason they may see pink is because whatever shader you are using for your world material isn't supported

Is it something special other than default? If it uses certain functions/properties quest can't run them

[tidal blaze]

Oh yeah I tried to reset my password and it told me to verify that the link that I had just been sent less than a minute ago had not already been used

[sand frigate]

Like I've put lightmapped on everything, and I've baked lighting. Yet every quest user Ive came across can still see pink everywhere. So Im like confused on what to do :/

[rose jetty]

Lightmapped may not be a supported shader

[sand frigate]

Ive also tried other shaders too that were supposed to be supported for quest, yet they didnt work either :/

[vital lance]

Whats worlds have sonic avatars?

[random swallow]

Looking to have a water physics shader in my world. Is that something that is qutest compatible?

[sharp urchin]

i saw some quest water shaders on booth @random swallow

i myself am trying to get realtime reflection probes to work on quest but it doesn't seem to be working

[coarse grail]

real-time reflection probes would be quite expensive

like nobody even does that on PC

[sharp urchin]

trying to make real nice looking metalic stuff, and the world has different sky settings

idealy it would be nice to have the worlds reflections change with the sky, even if the reflection probe was super low res

[random swallow]

do you know where to find them?

[coarse grail]

I've seen some Quest compatible water shaders on https://vrcprefabs.com/

[random swallow]

I should rephrase. Water physics.

Interactable water

[coarse grail]

you're probably not going to find that as that's going to be intensive as most of the systems I seen that do that involve pointing a camera at the water and render textures shenanigans

[random swallow]

yes, I'm aware. I've been talking to Blake447, thats how his water shader works. Is a camera and render texture setup really that intensive? It doesn't seem like it would be

[coarse grail]

well you are essentially rendering the world again to capture the camera footage

[random swallow]

I guess that makes sense.

ty

[coarse grail]

like might be able to do some tweaks to the settings so it's not trying to render the whole world but it's still having to render a new Viewpoint so not cheap for a mobile class Hardware

but I suppose if you wanted to Benchmark how expensive you could try Blake447 water shader on quest

[rugged ferry]

Is there a glass shader that quest users can see?

[hardy gate]

what?

[hardy gate]

it does, just dont do the geometry/raymarched shader and youll be good to go

[hardy gate]

these are now disabled/debaked in game sadly

but i have had a stupid idea where you basically use a 3d rendertexture for realtime reflections instead lol

idk if itll work tho, but technically

[mighty current]

Does anyone know some good worlds with optimized avatars on quest? I've had no luck searching so far

[lethal edge]

HI! I'm looking for different worlds based on tv show or movies. I've visited Hogwart's great hall and adventure time's tree house so I'm looking for similar experiences (:

[vital lance]

The biggest quest avatar world

[whole needle]

hey im looking for darksouls avatar worlds anyone know any

[whole needle]

is that the name

[glossy jasper]

Does anyone know of any video players that work within Quest worlds?

[hardy gate]

protv

[glossy jasper]

Just done a bit more googling after ask and saw the reason people been having issues is the quest versions is missing youtubedl so can't stream from yt :/

Post is 7 months old though, idk if anything has changed since then

[hardy gate]

you can stream from twitch, the demand for live streams from yt was too low to go into further research into making it work, as it would be more easier to get into legal issues

[glossy jasper]

Cheers for clearing that up, damn, could that also be the reason videos dont load on PC?

[hardy gate]

um, it depends, do you have “allow untrusted urls” enabled?

[hardy gate]

unity shouldve let you be able to change the format

[hardy gate]

oh wait, thos are actually dds textures

never knew they actually worked in unity. how weird lol

[compact berry]

I really like yayoi's work, but unfortunately all their worlds are for pc, do you have any recommendation of worlds with similar aesthetic but quest compatible ? https://en.vrcw.net/world/author/detail/猫屋敷やよい

[fringe schooner]

Someone should make a world similar to the rocky mountain national Park world but quest compatible

Give a thumbs up if you agree

[pseudo field]

Largest problem would be transparency needed for foliage

[fringe schooner]

But still I want to have that experience even if it has crappy graphics

[pseudo field]

A stylized ish version can work lol

[fringe schooner]

But me I like nature like things like in my spare time irl I like to hang out in the woods

Guys let's try to get someone to make this world ig give a thumbs up if you're down

[pseudo field]

The challenge would be bushes and grass lol

[fringe schooner]

Yeah

But what about the water?

[signal rose]

Should world textures have Streaming Minmaps enabled?

[carmine girder]

are there any fixes for Quest Camera's that turns up pitch black when people pulls it out in specific worlds?(in this case its one of my worlds)

[hardy gate]

has the world been updated recently? is the worlds render queue set to alphatest? are you using a weird shader that uses scruffys camera override set?

[agile fjord]

Whats the world with the house that mully uses in his vids?

[fringe schooner]

BBQ house

[agile fjord]

Anybody got some fun mini games or sport games i should play in vr chat????

[bold kelp]

yeah where are all the good worlds at im tired of this stupid mirror shit being the only thing a world has

[coarse grail]

check the game World tab for more interactive stuff

[vital lance]

Any more worlds based on game shows on Quest? I only found one

[bold kelp]

i already done checked all that shit it’s always the same

[polar apex]

Hey, whats the recommended polycount of Vr chat worlds for quest

[buoyant pier]

Recommended is 50,000, though I think you're technically allowed to go up to 100,000 before the SDK gets upset with you.

[polar apex]

gotchya, thanks for letting me know, I'm putting in way to much effort and reworkin my avatar world to have a bunch of Dioramas for each avatar

[buoyant pier]

Say, have you made avatars that work on both PC and Quest before? Because if so I also have a question.

[polar apex]

ye, i can make stuff that works on both quest and PC.... but i broke my avatar world while trying to fix it for Pc... whats ur question

[buoyant pier]

It has to do with expressions. So since you need to build a Windows and Quest version of an avatar separately, how do expressions work? Will expressions show on both platforms at the same time if the same expression is present on both versions of the avatar?

[polar apex]

I'm pretty sure that It is visible on both platforms, so yeah if both versions have it uploaded it should be good i think

[buoyant pier]

Oh cool! Does make we wonder some things though. For example, what if you had two expressions where everything, including the animations themselves, were named the same, but the actual animations were different. Would they both play?

[polar apex]

I think that the quest version would see the one uploaded for quest and pc would see the pc one

[buoyant pier]

That's both really cool and really convenient haha

[sharp night]

hello i have a questions how to make a map in pc and quest?

[hardy gate]

some people have made a few, but sadly they are pc only

i seconded this idea

[hazy wadi]

Yeah ik a really good PC one

It's like a driving at night thing

[dense gull]

Just as a base make sure the "map" uses Shaders Quest can see and upload it to the same world id as the PC one
This guide should have world stuff near the bottom

Does anybody know what the job simulator world is called and if its on quest?

[coarse grail]

https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_df2776a3-8c84-45e3-bbf1-30ac8422911b yeah it is Quest compatible

[vital lance]

is there any good worlds to meet new people

im new to quest

[long basalt]

I just released my first attempt at a Quest version! I don't have a Quest, so please let me know if it performs well enough!
(I'll be out for a few hours, but I'll check your feedback asap)
https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_d7f785a6-7138-415e-8918-21704c8a9a91

[long basalt]

Thanks, I'll see if I can swap out any more shaders for Quest compatible ones while I wait :)
I have swapped most of them, but some nuke the graphics.

[coarse grail]

better to have potato Graphics than terrible frame rate

and out of curiosity do you know how to make texture atlases as that's quite a useful skill when it comes to optimizing

[hardy gate]

preferibly not too potatoy. id provide a potato graphic option in the world tho

[long basalt]

I have no idea how to make texture atlases, but I bet it involves my sworn enemy Blender.
Just had someone test the world with Quest and it apparently runs okay with one person.

[coarse grail]

https://github.com/maxartz15/MA_TextureAtlasser this tool can generate texture Atlas is just using Unity

[long basalt]

That's handy, although I don't know what to do with atlases.

[remote goblet]

Hi, Trying to use VRCDN to succesfully stream to up to 30 people. not succeding with even 1 , i hve lowered all the levels in OBS , anyone have any advice at all

[hardy gate]

are you using tge quest compatible vrcdn url on the world/instance youre using?

[remote goblet]

hi, yes we are.

[remote goblet]

Havve u tried using it before? did it work. .?

and if it did how many people did u manage to stream to ?

[hardy gate]

yes, and i never checked the number, ive seen at least 80+ instances handle it

how are you setting it up?

are the streams working on pc?

[hardy gate]

what videoplayer are you using?

[coarse grail]

combine your non tiling textures together so more stuff batches together

[long basalt]

Might have a go at it in a bit

[coarse grail]

yeah I figured I'd mentioned because one of your enemies is number of draw calls especially on the quest

[agile fjord]

Anyone know the name of this world i saw it in drumsys "A child ruins among us vr" video?

And this world in mullys "YouTube approved this vid lol" video?

[misty meadow]

This one is hangout house by Munificent. It's a very old map so I doubt it's Quest compatible

[agile fjord]

Oh ok

[vital lance]

Any more game show themed worlds in VRchat?

[remote goblet]

we are using Wolfe which is AVPro just the Udonvideo and ProTv.

[remote goblet]

Yes we using RTSP for PC and the MPG2 for oculus. Otherwise using OBS for streaming and trying to put it on the lowest setting possible.

[remote goblet]

yes it is working on PC

[remote goblet]

In deed. I am in south africa so im not sure if this has an effect server wise. but our internet connection is good.

[remote goblet]

Are you using OBS to stream ? and if so would it be possible to share a screen shot of your output settings please ?

[hardy gate]

if you need any quest assistence, you can dm me. I also have no idea if any of these messages are sending so sorry if they seem more random and unexplained

I guess 🤔 only that message sent

but for location concerns, i would direct you to vrcdn support, i highly suggest sticking to protv, wolfe player has never really been the nicest to use on quest. it will work, but reliably and easy to use status is a bit out there for a quest videoplayer

protv has 2 url slots on load, alt url is for the mpeg2 link, top url slot is for rtsp link

in later future addons for the protv will be newer playlists with alt url support

[remote goblet]

Thanks tried to DM u but it got rejected also sent u friend request

[steady merlin]

any good horror maps?

i dont think vrchat on quest 2 uses nsfw textures

god i wish, but i think only pc vrchat applies nsfw textures

I finally got the quest version looking really nice - hope you guys like it!

[weak lotus]

looks great dude

[kindred bloom]

Thank you!

[hardy gate]

has anyone ever got world data outputs to go into quest avatars? similar to how audiolink is able to interact with pc avatars from a grab pass?

[lapis heron]

Dose anyone know how to get the golden nuder butter skin

[uneven blade]

are there any good quest movie worlds? looking for one for a friend

[vital lance]

Movie and chill’s a popular one

[pliant escarp]

hello

hello

ok bye

[vital lance]

Go to general if you just wanna talk…

[pliant escarp]

hello

any body

hello

well bye

[vital lance]

You not see what I typed yesterday? Unless you have a genuine world question, take talk to general

[lusty gust]

Anyone know any good quest worlds

[pliant escarp]

I know one but do you really want to try it

[vital lance]

In relation to hangouts, atmospheric experiences, games? Or just in general?

[lusty gust]

Hangouts for quest

For quest users*

[vital lance]

Check out Blue Cat’s worlds. Run well and look gorgeous

[lusty gust]

Thank you

[pliant escarp]

Hello

[dull vault]

Anyone know of any flipbook and scrolling shaders that work on Quest worlds?

[junior whale]

Any good quest compatible horror type worlds in vrc?

[vital lance]

Cant find anything good to play in vrchat

[grave marten]

I was wondering about places beside Black Cat to chill in, anyone know good places

[vital lance]

Reflect On Life, Paracosm, Cafe Leblanc, The Milk Bar and Fairy Fountain are my personal recommendations

[grave marten]

Thanks

[rose bobcat]

All of the club should only be open to 18+ and should be popular at night I think about it some countries will be there and think about the USA at night

[vital lance]

As if that could be regulated. Unless it were by users

…who am I kidding

[vital lance]

what do i have to download to switch my unity thing to android

[hazy wadi]

Android builder

[vital lance]

where do i download that?

[dark coyote]

Vrchat sdk control panel -> switch build type to android

if it asks you for some kind of SDK for android, get yourself android studio

[cerulean grotto]

Anyone here ever play an old PS2 Game called Dark Cloud?

[vital lance]

hello

[jagged glacier]

Can any body tell me this why the crashes can the people who made the game fix that or nah

People are complaining on yt 24/7 and in game

[vital lance]

The crashes are almost always avatar-caused. Hunt down the bad avis, fix the problem

But that’s if they give you a chance to get their number, so…

[lament karma]

ya because I believe some people are just making avatars and disabling or what not ?

allowing people to clone the avatar before they delete or something like that

[vital lance]

That wouldn’t serve either party. Once an avatar’s gone, no one can access it

…Right?

[timid cave]

Correct

Removing it deletes all the files from vrc so nobody would be able to load it, and i think it stops showing up on your favorites list, or its that error robot

[cerulean grotto]

Guess not. Cool

[vital lance]

Hey, this wasn’t the place to pose that question to begin with. You’dve been better off in off topic or something

[cerulean grotto]

I'm thinking about making an avatar world with the characters from the game. I just need someone who's better equipped for the sort of thing.

I've got references for the characters and everything in case anyone's interested

[vital lance]

Oh…should’ve figured that’s where you were going with that. Best of luck

[cerulean grotto]

Would it be considered a commission if it's an idea for a public world?

[hardy gate]

yes

[cerulean grotto]

Whew.. that'd be pretty expensive I'm guessing

[hardy gate]

yes

[dark coyote]

Are transparent materials allowed on quest worlds?

[hardy gate]

yes

[dark coyote]

Thanks for the info!

[coarse grail]

just be aware they're a bit heavy for performance on quest

[hardy gate]

ye dont overlap transparencies as best as possible

[coarse grail]

and like honestly even using a bit more geometry to not use a transparency would be better for Quest performance

[hardy gate]

or use additive instead

[dark coyote]

Guess I'll just create a seperate world for quest and pc, or just do a quick matswap

[dreamy dawn]

that's the typical way to go about it. transparency is a real killer on quest.

[dark coyote]

I'll keep that in mind

[coarse grail]

https://github.com/JordoVR/EasyQuestSwitch

[dreamy dawn]

there's an addon you can try called Easy Quest Switch that lets you predefine these shader switches when swapping build targets

ah there it is

[timid cave]

You can technically use any shaders for quest workds.
If they will be preformant is a different issue.

i wish there was a good way to measure shader preformance for quest vs pc so i could choose my shaders more technically

[hardy gate]

just be careful on ram usage and you can also use the frame debugger and profiler to see what to do from there

main things to worry about is how things get drawn

such as how long it takes for 1 draw call for 1 mesh with 1 material to occur can vary

[vital lance]

Most I have on any is 2. And that’s just cause I add some items on after the fact because I don’t know how to orient them well otherwise

[dry talon]

Good horror worlds

[hardy gate]

rest and sleep paralysis

[hazy wadi]

the backrooms but you kinda have to know morse code and stuff

[dry talon]

Got stuck at the Morse code

[hazy wadi]

yeah i ended up finishing it lol

[native torrent]

Anyone know any realistic car driving worlds! Oculus Quest 2 Perfered

[obsidian totem]

What can and can't quest see for video streams? I believe VRCDN works, youtube definitely doesnt, and it's been 50/50 with twitch... anyone have some more info on that?

[austere talon]

is anyone available to hop in a call and look at my world hierarchy? its lagging quest users badly and i dont know enough about quest optimization so fix this. im available for the next 2-3 hours. if u could reply to this msg it would be a big help. thanks

[vital lance]

anyone know any good vrc quest avatar worlds?

[timid cave]

because quest doesnt have the youtube dl library, which is how video links are resolved to their file address

vrcdn works because it is a direct stream link

if you manually resolve a youtube address before you put it in a player, it will work for quest users too

[obsidian totem]

so it's basically just yt that i'd have to resolve? twitch is what I was mainly concerned about, and i've also been informed that VRCDN has dual-player setups with pc and quest URLs
i think topaz should just work but I have yet to test that

also hi, haven't seen u in a bit but to be fair timezones don't work out in my favor for OCE parties

[timid cave]

I'm not sure if you can resolve twitch links for quest. It might be possible.

The dual url player is the protv prefab.

[obsidian totem]

is that a new update to it? i don't see that in there
I just heard about this dual link thing like an hour ago

and i didn't know that twitch doesn't work I need to do some testing then since I might have to do some stuff

[timid cave]

New ish. A few months ago?

[obsidian totem]

noted, i'll take a look tomorrow/whenever I wake up
thanks for the insight o wise one, we'll probably cross paths at some point so until then take care 👋

[hardy gate]

there are methods on how to get a quest compat twitch url but vrcdn is usually much easier

main issue for twitch is that the resolved url is dynamic and can change during stream

[terse bane]

Hi everyone!
I'd like to create an android build of my Windows world which rn is public..
I've already made a duplicate project but the thing is when I try to get it on VRC servers I'm a little concerned about it being public straight away.

I still have concerns about the world optimisation.
Is there any way to test it out on Quest first without publishing it despite PC version being public?

[vital lance]

youll need to get a friend with a quest to test it

unless you have a quest yiurself then just test it yourself

[terse bane]

Yeah, I'm aware of that

I just want to avoid scenario in which I'll release unoptimized world

[hardy gate]

upload it privately

[vital lance]

I wish there’s more game show worlds in VRCHAT quest

[hardy gate]

game show events are commonly quest compatible

[vital lance]

Like that Trial place? Haven't frequented that, really.

[hardy gate]

its usually like thos live talk show type of deals. and the talent show events as well, theres like 5 chess champion ships too. 8ball table group, etc

[vital lance]

Not T.E.G.

[hardy gate]

im blanking on what that is

[vital lance]

The

Entertainer's

Guild

Not worth the drama or cross-group infighting

[timid cave]

As cold man said, upload it privately.
If you detach the pipeline blueprint id you can upload it as a separate world.

[terse bane]

^^that's very helpful, thank you!

Although I have some trouble doing so..

Was gonna do it by the manual but I guess it's outdated:/

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

[terse bane]

nevermind, I'm dum, found it

OMG, it worked!

[terse bane]

Thank You so much!

[timid cave]

No worries.

[strong coral]

Hey I'm late to the response, but sadly I don't believe Topaz works on Quest as it doesn't output the required stream format. VRCDN is the easiest IMO...although I'm bias as I'm VRCDN project lead :D

[wind isle]

I'm trying to manage my world on both quest and pc in the same project, but I've found it more convenient to use the same shader across both versions which is the built in standard shader. The reason I'm using that is because I have PBR materials and the detail from the built in standard is not visible when using standard lite such as normal intensity.

Is there anything I should be concerned about using the built in standard on quest? I know for a fact reflection probes do not work correctly even though they do reflect the scene within the probe, but I'm asking about other inconsistencies

The shader does work on quest. Many quest people have told me there is no discrepancy so far
other than probes

[dreamy dawn]

it's a little bit slower than standard lite. but if you're careful about optimization elsewhere it'll probably be fine.

[wind isle]

alright cool

[coarse grail]

https://github.com/JordoVR/EasyQuestSwitch this cool tool to make it easier to have your quest build use standard light in the same project

[wind isle]

My world is already super optimized and even full lobby quest people have reported getting 40+ frames consistently. I think I have some headroom for more expensive details, but I will def give this a look if any problems arise or for future reference

[obsidian totem]

no such thing as too late. always looking for more info
if you dont mind the ask what format DOES it use?

[strong coral]

It uses a progressive MPEG-2 stream

I can DM you a demo stream if you want?

[glass minnow]

Anyone who knows how to add music to a world in vr chat? I'm looking for the spotify playlist in Club Ruby

[obsidian totem]

Sure, I'm also half curious if I would be able to encode in real time, I'm gonna have a server machine I can play around with soon :)

[obsidian totem]

video player and a playlist, kinda like ProTV uses
or store the songs locally as .wavs and use audio sources

[glass minnow]

Thank you for your help!

[vital lance]

So… I’ve played the pc VRChat and found out there was a replica of the school building from Yandere Sim, however I can’t find that anywhere on the quest copy, nor even any of the character models, it would be nice to join those worlds again but on quest.

[hardy gate]

Hī yall, are any of yall using Jinnai for you quest videoplayer resolving method and witnessing it no longer working?

[vital lance]

Is there any single player gaming worlds out there?

[vital lance]

Udon Vaders is a good one. Or Super Tower Defense, if you haven't already been

[fading wren]

you can add from youtube

[dreamy dawn]

not directly. gifs are really poorly optimized. for very short looping animations, you could use a sprite sheet with a scroller shader to cycle between frames. otherwise use mp4

[hardy gate]

sprite sheet generator online

[vital lance]

Does anybody have worlds to recommend cause I’m kinda getting out of VRC so I would greatly appreciate it 😄

[dark wharf]

Looking for a good virtual dance club.

Any suggestions?

[vital lance]

As in a server for that? If there isn’t an invite link in community servers for one, there might be one at a dance studio world or something

[vital lance]

All of Blue Cat’s for sure. Optimized, atmospheric, and beautiful. His world Paracosm is a good place to start if you wanna check them out

[dreamy dawn]

you can visit mine if you want. quest compatible. https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_2e37b570-7f57-46d5-9ef5-e33d1326c70b

[cinder linden]

Is this a channel where you can ask about worlds? Like world names that you dont know and someone else might by description?

[vital lance]

Yes.

But for quest

[cinder linden]

Yeah I play on quest 2

[vital lance]

Ok.

So.

Yes

[cinder linden]

I'm looking for the world with the cartoony design and a hallway with doors, one says do not enter. It was in a youtube video if I need to send the link

The youtube video did not say the name of the world

But I know the video

[coarse grail]

the video would definitely be a big help

[cinder linden]

Ok

Let me get it

[cinder linden]

This may take me a little.bit because I need to sign in

[coarse grail]

no biggie

[cinder linden]

https://youtu.be/GU9XFU4tCs

I may have gotten the link wrong

[coarse grail]

it says the video isn't available anymore

[cinder linden]

Ok I might have

Give me another minute or so

[vital lance]

Did you type it in by hand?

[cinder linden]

https://youtu.be/GU9XFU46tCs

There it is

The video is a little obnoxious so if you need to mute it the audio is nothing special

Also feel perfectly free to ping me if you find/know what the world is

[coarse grail]

https://i.gyazo.com/77599d3330593bc0ea108d2d02a50961.png apparently there's contact info in the world but it's too far away. to read it

[cinder linden]

Oh there is

I can try to maybe find another video. This guy spent 2 days in vr and went into the world I think

I'll see if I can take a screenshot

The video i was talking about had nothing, it was a recent one too

Here are some images of the world if that helps anyone else

[coarse grail]

found the contact info on a different world https://i.gyazo.com/82b28093823472e788dffc41e2fb1ad2.png

[cinder linden]

Oh my gosh

Let me check the twitter

Couldn't find anything 😔

Thanks for the help though, I really appreciate it

[coarse grail]

I might suggest seeing if you can find their vrchat name off of the Twitter

[cinder linden]

Twitter page isn't available

Same with their insta

[coarse grail]

maybe see if the YouTube has anything

[cinder linden]

Thats where I checked the Twitter link

I dug further and found out his Twitter was suspended

[coarse grail]

oh dear

[cinder linden]

Ok well I found his tiktok and commented on one of his videos

I am now hoping for a response

Thanks for all of the help though :)

[coarse grail]

glad to be of help and I was able to get the contact because I recognized the purple dude all over the cartoon map

[cinder linden]

https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdAnF54m/

There is his tiktok if you want to do some digging too

[frigid slate]

just a hypothetical question but would anybody like to inv me to any nsfw avatar worlds, my username is juicyfrootsnakcs

for personal use

[coarse grail]

not-safe-for-work is completely against terms of service on vrchat

[frigid slate]

i though that it was good for only personal use, like only in private servers

[vital lance]

……..

[coarse grail]

nope still against terms of service

[frigid slate]

really?

[coarse grail]

yes they allowed people under 18 in the app so they can't allow not-safe-for-work

[frigid slate]

dang

[vital lance]

Your under 18

Bro

[frigid slate]

just wondering but are you a mod or smthn of the sort? rainwolf?

[vital lance]

No.

[coarse grail]

no I just don't like people spreading lies

[vital lance]

But we can gladly call mods

[vital lance]

“Juicyfrootsnakcs”

[frigid slate]

mk thanks for answering

[vital lance]

What kind of name is that

Looks like you had a stroke

[frigid slate]

yes, and?

[vital lance]

Are you SURE your 14?

[frigid slate]

[vital lance]

Dose anyone know if there are any Nier worlds on vrchat? I know there's like 3 for quest by just searching "Nier" I was wondering if there are anymore then those ones.

[austere talon]

anyone wana help test my world rn i need to know if it lags or even works for quest

[vital lance]

I can help! Lemme just reinstall so i get out of beta ^^ my user is LucidDoni

[austere talon]

Sorry. Wasn’t on. May be on in like 4 hours if ur still down

[vital lance]

Any road trip worlds where u need to drive needed ASAP

I’m begging y’all

Or just this one

https://youtu.be/-5YmqP7EV2A

[vital lance]

Sure!

[austere talon]

on now if anyone else wants to help test my world

[vital lance]

Its like 1am not tho so im a bit tired

[lucid sinew]

If you will be on in a few minutes, I'll be able to

Unless you don't need anyone else to

[queen tusk]

any one have recomneded Mirror settings for Quest?

[dreamy dawn]

for most worlds the "high quality" (reflect everything) setting is going to slow everything to a crawl. the low quality (reflect only avatars) is the safest method. and make sure to use triggers to automatically disable any mirror when you step away from it

[queen tusk]

do i not have to mess with any of the resolution or alising settings?

[dreamy dawn]

depends on how optimized your world is. the defaults are usually okay to start

[queen tusk]

i do need to get a quest so i ca see how it is first hand.

[unique parcel]

im trying to setup avatar pedestals and im pretty sure they are setup correctly but when i go ingame i cant click them or anything

[ripe burrow]

[nimble coyote]

Anyone got any Nier worlds I can go to?

[hollow sage]

I recommend tossing this script on the mirror as well if reflecting everything. You can choose to cull things based on distance and layer

https://github.com/Superbstingray/DistanceCullingMirrors

[hollow flame]

were do find people will play games?

[solid sage]

Huh

[hollow flame]

try make new friend is all

[forest ruin]

Where do you guys go to party in vr-chat? I have heard about these exlusive pc-vr clubs, but are there any for quest users?

[vital lance]

Even if there was the slightest possibility of there being one, the population cap in said club world would have to be low, with completely separate instances to account for everyone. And that's if no one's shrugged off the idea 'cause kids

[hardy gate]

theres a few clubs that are quest compat but no quest only party worlds

most actual quest compat clubs abuse occlussion culling to allow multiple users, but networking eventually takes over on the cpu

[radiant hinge]

Anyone know of a good adventure/mystery World?

[coarse forge]

i made a tik tok in this world and i completely forgot the name of it. there was a car in the world too with its headlights on does anyone recognise it?

it isn tin my recents either cos it was a while ago

[lucid sinew]

I'm kinda curious what that world is too

It looks nice

[hazy wadi]

same if you guys find it tell me

[sinful cobalt]

does the pool table work on quest?

[knotty finch]

@sinful cobalt yes

[sinful cobalt]

sweet thank you so much

i forgot if they did or not, it's been a while

[vital lance]

You might think of this wold called Purity

[queen finch]

does anyone know of any Little space worlds?

most of em have been taken down

as of recently

[vital lance]

@hazy wadi @coarse forge

[coarse forge]

thank u!

[vital lance]

No problemo :>

[bold dagger]

do anyone know where i can find a mario madness golden land world

[vestal helm]

Anyone know where to find nier automata avatars for quest

[quasi cosmos]

Does anyone know any good chat worlds on quest

[queen finch]

theres that no time two talk world where you talk to a person for about 2 minutes amd it switches you over to someone else @quasi cosmos

also I'm looking for littlespace worlds of anyone knows of any

[vital lance]

Anyone knows an good Avatar world where the avis have a gun, weapon, special effects or something like that?

[vital lance]

FeXaal's. If you're into Star Wars, anyway

[patent lodge]

question about quest world creation, does having a high light probe count cause lag? (for example the difference between having only 100 and having 2000). haven't been able to find any information about this

[dreamy dawn]

it shouldn't. light probes are dirt cheap

[scenic burrow]

trying to bake lighting for the first time

used a super basic tutorial

uh

why does it look like that

this is so muddy and ugly i was promised crisp clean pretty stuff

is it cause its not done yet or something

idk what i'm doing lol
maybe my UV maps being super lazy on the whole world itself have something to do with it

[coarse grail]

have you generated any lightmap uvs

[quasi cosmos]

I have tried that many times

[pliant mauve]

Got a weird bug on Quest with the photo camera/mirrors & transparency - and we're not rendering a depth texture, as far as I'm aware.
When camera/mirror enabled, transparent surfaces like glass & UI will be masked by shapes that resemble objects seen by the camera/mirror.
Additionally, while camera/mirror enabled, my QA tester's hand (Standard Lite) does this in front of transparent stuff??

Figured I'd ask in here, since we don't know if this is our fault or just a VRChat thing, or if we're unknowingly rendering depth.

[lunar herald]

Idk why, but im making an avatar world and I cant join it, it crashes and goes back to my home world, anyone know why? the only warning was with the text gui textures

[hardy gate]

im like 90% sure yall have a grabpass in use. they only work on quest inside mirrors or cameras. which is why the behavior only occurs when those items are enabled. make sure the glass used doesnt use any grabpasses

[quasi cosmos]

anyone found any good quest worlds that i could go to

[hardy gate]

floating porch. it has a waterbed

[quasi cosmos]

Oh damm thats cool thanks

[hardy gate]

the floating room is also cool, it has water you can mess with

bounce around and rest and sleep paralysis are pretty big ones

[dreamy dawn]

you can check mine out. i promise it doesn't suck. quest and PC compatible.

Anyone knows a nice quest world to just relax? (With a bed for our sleepy friends :3)

[hardy gate]

floating porch has a water bed

[wheat fern]

Do any of you know project aincrad? Well why hasn't anyone thought about creating that type of world but for fairy tail?

[vital lance]

...?

[wheat fern]

Just a question, I mean a world like that would be amazing

[vital lance]

Oh, aincrad...I was confused for a bit. I imagine not, aincrad seems to be a special case as-is

[wheat fern]

Yeah true but I mean just imagine being able to use magic from fairy tail in a world like that

[vital lance]

I'm not familiar with that series, so I wouldn't know what to tell you

[wheat fern]

Really? Well I recommend fairy tail to you it is amazing

[vital lance]

Thanks I’ll check it out!

[ruby tide]

Anyone know a good world that’s just a forest?

[dreamy dawn]

try amber glade

[vital lance]

I can see my camera menu in the mirror

asking the same question in multiple channels is against the rules and isn't going to help you get the answer faster

[boreal wedge]

i dont know

sorry

[vital lance]

quest world

I took this picture

it very nice

hehe

[vital lance]

Ah, yes…Eventide. Wasn’t the worst place to go when I started

[vital lance]

lol

[vital lance]

...Ok admittedly it's never been bad, just...I dunno

It all comes down to the instance, no matter where you go.

Except for the Daycares. Those're all bad

[marble leaf]

I just want everyones most favorite worlds

Cause im trying to get a list of a bunch of servers me and my friends can hop around to

If you want a challenging world, I would recommend doors. Its a fun challenge

But you will hate one song after awhile

[vital lance]

I’m looking for more 80s themed Quest worlds, any suggestions?

[jaunty ice]

Anyone know any good male avatar worlds?

[vital lance]

You looking for something generic, or themed?

[jaunty ice]

Generic but not like every other eboy🥶

[vital lance]

Yeah, that’s pretty much impossible…

[jaunty ice]

Ahh that’s okay, do you mind shooting some eBoy worlds then 🤣🤣🤣

[vital lance]

Well, what I could recommend are a couple different persona places

[jaunty ice]

That’s fine with me ^-^

[vital lance]

There’s a new one by JoJoker that looks promising. Haven’t been, but I know the guy to a degree and can vouch for his work. Then there’s Tuckerrr’s persona avatar dungeon. All the ones there are well optimized, with a few amusing crossovers

[jaunty ice]

Thank you! 🙏 I’ll check them both out right now

Can you give me the world name for the first one?

[vital lance]

I forget the exact name, but it started with ‘Evan’

It’s in labs

[jaunty ice]

Got it thank you!

[gentle blaze]

i know you're supposed to use the VRC mobile shaders for quest worlds, but you can get away with using some other shaders too right? like the regular standard? how bad is that?

[hollow sage]

You can use regular standard yes. I only use it when I need reflection though.

Avoid transparency at all costs, it will tank framerate quickly.

[gentle blaze]

thanks. reflection is exactly what i needed it for

[hollow sage]

Np! 😄

[vital lance]

Lost Teddies? Or there's the Waiting room, but i wouldn't call that a game so much as an experience

[vital lance]

The Waiting room is and will always be an interesting world.

[dull vault]

Does anyone have a quest shader that is optimized but still uses detail and normal maps?

[vital lance]

...Standard Lite

[dull vault]

Doesn't use detail

[timid cave]

Just use the standard shader? 🤷‍♂️

[coarse grail]

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

[dull vault]

Not required for worlds, only for avatars. They do warn about being careful with custom shaders on quest though for worlds

[vital lance]

Oops...thought this was a different tab

[marble imp]

Anyone know any really good scary horror worlds for quest. I’ve searched around but most are either short, shitty jump scares, or just not scary at all

[marble imp]

Are there any really scary worlds, cause I’m just not finding any

[signal condor]

can anyone tell me what world this is?

[glacial gull]

Rest & Sleep Paralysis. It has a creepy weird vibe going through the rooms.

[marble imp]

I’ve tried that one already

[mint geyser]

a dsaf avatar world for quest AND pc?

i use my quest/vrchat on pc via oculus link

[hardy gate]

what?

[mint geyser]

wdym "what?"

[hardy gate]

”dsaf” and if its just an avatar world. id bet youd get better luck in #avatar-search-old

[mint geyser]

i have

nobody's helped me

[hardy gate]

well theres not much here. mainly quest world stuff usually done here

[mint geyser]

ok

[half latch]

I need an scp avatar world with the scps and not just the guards and mtfs and stuff

[solid sage]

Idk if this is what you are looking for, but it’s the first scp avatar world I could find

https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_463e8ad7-e937-4237-96b9-5b4458787f82

[half latch]

I searched it up in the world search and it didn’t pop up

Is there any other way for me to get there

[arctic hazel]

Im on quest, and i saw a portal with a green ring with a beaker on it?? Whsts that mean. Its like the pc only red ring

Like this

[late anvil]

@arctic hazel It means it's a newly published world, that icon is for "Community labs"
It's the process of going from a private world to a public one
It mostly means the world hasn't been tested a lot for now, once multiple players were on the map without reporting it, it becomes public and looses that "green ring"
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-community-labs

[vital lance]

Nice drawing tho

[sharp kernel]

anyone know a demon slayer world with a zenitsu avatar that can do the thunderclap

[marble imp]

Are there any really good arcade worlds. (And maybe working arcades)

[junior flint]

Any got any good recommendations for chill rooms without a bunch of screaming children?

[tall sigil]

Private worlds

[junior flint]

None of my friends play VR so I guess i gotta get out there and be social 🤣

[tall sigil]

Why are you playing vrc if you have friends

Vrc is for lonely people without a life (yes thst includes me)

[junior flint]

Im in military so its nice to get off work and explore new apps and chit chat with people 🤣

[tall sigil]

Ah that makes sense

[hardy gate]

someone named “maru” has a p good arcade. i can’t remember the name but I know 🤥 the creator

[signal condor]

looking for this world or somewhere like it

[sonic nebula]

that avatar looks amazing

[spiral horizon]

how many people participate in world jams?

[rain pollen]

Hey guys 🙂

Does anyone know if Unity terrain works on Quest? If so what are the limitations I should keep in mind?

People are asking for me to port 'Grass' on Quest. And I would like to try! https://twitter.com/RolltheredDev/status/1513768229491126273

🔴Rollthered🔴 (@RolltheredDev)

Made in #VRChat.
'Grass' is a calming world full of adventure and resting.
Listen to the campfire, sleep in the tent or go play with the orbs.

What are you waiting for?
Lets create memories together!

Albeit probably very stripped down

[hardy gate]

depends on if youre chunking your terrain or instancing. I know 🤥 for a fact that instancing is very sus on quest so try not to do that. by default. terrain chunking and distance culling is very far and too many chunks rendered at once so if you havent mess with that stuff, should probs do that before porting to quest

[rain pollen]

So at worst it will just lag very badly and need to be optimized, but it does run! That is good news then!

I was worried it might not even be possible to begin with, but this gives me hope that i can optimize it now 🙂

[stray elbow]

Does anyone know the name of this world? I saw it in a Mully video

[ocean parcel]

Hi I'm new to VRChat and am looking for world recommendations where people can actually have a conversation. I recently bought a Quest and have been joining worlds but have noticed many people behave poorly.

[dreamy dawn]

that's public instances for you. it helps if you go to worlds that are a little less known (stay out of the black cat). make a friend or two then join friends+ instances

[hardy gate]

avatar worlds are usually nice since the focus of behaviour is different normally

[ocean parcel]

What's an avatar world?

[dreamy dawn]

avatar worlds are generally minimalist worlds full of avatars that you can try on. they're typically themed (avatars based on games, movies, shows, etc)

they'll usually be tagged as such or have obvious descriptions saying that they're avatar worlds

[dreamy dawn]

i mean, most of the instances i've been to are a shitshow unless you like being around kids running around shrieking at people. it all depends on your preferences. sounds like this guy wants something a little more laid-back

[vital lance]

.

[vital lance]

Winter Company?

[ocean parcel]

I'll try this one

[ocean parcel]

Yep

[dreamy dawn]

I have a nice little world you can try. It's unfortunately not that popular despite my best efforts, but it's generally a relaxing enough place that the screamers get bored and leave quickly. https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_2e37b570-7f57-46d5-9ef5-e33d1326c70b

[vital lance]

Ooo...I'll def check this out

[stray elbow]

Does anyone know the name of this world?

[signal arch]

Grade A homeworld material though.

[stray elbow]

Who pinged?

[wraith forge]

oh nice i'll check it out

nice job @dreamy dawn

[dreamy dawn]

thanks!

[whole cradle]

test pilots, I'm done here

[vital lance]

...?

[strong wren]

anyone have any like pretty worlds to chill in? for quest obviously lol

[vital lance]

Any one of Blue Cat’s will not only be optimized, but real atmospheric as well. Another good one would be Reflect on Life

[strong wren]

thank you!

[sly solar]

Anyone know where I can find that tinys avatar world? I can't remember the name of it but it said tinys something world

[sinful rose]

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

[vital lance]

Simple way would be to import a plane and drag and drop the image on to it's material

Although it'll need good world lighting to look good

[crimson flame]

Hello . I am a world creator that makes Quest worlds with the program tilt brush where I Draw everything from scratch in 3D.

[neat sundial]

I like the world because it is vary relaxing

But I do wish it wus a bit bigger so you can see more of the map but ya have fun with it

[vital lance]

Hello, recently i started work on a custom world but it wont let me upload until im "Trusted"

I have no clue how to progress from there

because ive spend fair amount of time in VRChat already

and one of the guides says that to become trusted i need to to upload content

[hardy gate]

you can upload worlds privately but to publish to lab. you need to gain trust level; “user” rank

youll want to go explore and make new friends to progress your rank. afking in random worlds does not work effectively

[vital lance]

how do i upload privately?

Unity doesnt show that option

atleast i didnt find it

[hardy gate]

did thou inport vrcsdk to be the control in cain?

[vital lance]

huh?

Im sorry theres a few typos

if you mean importing the SDK to Unity then yes i did import it, i am signed it

[hardy gate]

then build publish there?

[vital lance]

wont let me

unless it just works differently on Oculus

[graceful quarry]

Are there any worlds on quest with a story line or sny mystery? Not always horror just either magic or like and escape room?

I wanna do more worlds like that with my friends

[night zinc]

Anyone know and good quality game worlds

[hardy gate]

the ones in the game tab is probs the best youll get, try searching "jar" in worlds

[gaunt epoch]

Can you do animated textures on quest worlds?

[hardy gate]

like sprites?

sheets

[gaunt epoch]

ye

[hardy gate]

yesp

[gaunt epoch]

Awe yiss

I'm making a 3d map based off a pixel art game, and the vents in the floors are animated

[icy bay]

We got “yesp” and “yiss” but no yes lol

[gaunt epoch]

Instant messaging is propagating the slow breakdown of human language

it is a curse for all its other blessings

[hardy gate]

lol

[radiant heath]

Is there any worlds that are for a wholesome date? Nothing nsfw, purely to have fun with your partner.

[vital lance]

Hm. A- i dont know. Uhm maybe movies n chill.

[vital lance]

I need help getting me some good furry avatars. Best worlds?

[coarse grail]

I suppose you could start with furhub

[prime jewel]

I'm doing some Quest optimisation today, what's the recommend max texture size, light map size, etc?

[prime jewel]

Visited that a couple of days ago BTW, love the atmosphere. 💚

[slate kettle]

VRChat recommends 1K texture for Quest Avatars Max, so I’d say use that as a guideline for worlds, too.

[dreamy dawn]

i use 2k maps on quest pretty regularly without a hitch. it's really a question of how many you're using.

[dreamy dawn]

thanks!

[coarse grail]

and honestly cutting down on like draw call count is probably more helpful

so putting a bunch of stuff in a texture Atlas is a good idea on Quest

[prime jewel]

Already did that a bit already and down to a reasonable number I think. Texture size and using easy quest switch to convert everything to mobile/lighter shaders is the bulk of the work.

Also am I right that custom videos I'll need to rehost as mp4 from a server if I want them to work as YT isn't supported as a video source?

[coarse grail]

yes

[prime jewel]

Okay, thanks!

[timid lichen]

is the devouring pc only?

[hardy gate]

i think so

[winter garden]

Anyone know this world?

Its an apartment and it has door physics

[vital lance]

#vrchat-general-1

I wish I remembered…I’ve been there before during my early months

Yeah

But here

[molten laurel]

Can anyone help me find some good dynamic avi worlds

[timid lichen]

oof

[bronze spruce]

How do i get rid of these black walls

[hardy gate]

go to window. then rendering, then lighting settings. there will be an ambient lighting setting you can make brighter

[bronze spruce]

thank you

there is nothing called ambient lighting

[hardy gate]

might be called “environment lightinf”. should be second from top

[bronze spruce]

ah

the intensity multiplier slider doesnt do anything

[hardy gate]

theres a drop down. itll have “skybox”, “gradient” or “color”. try color and change to white colors

[bronze spruce]

mk

alright thank you

[bronze spruce]

is there a way to reduce the lighting without making avatars incredibly dark

[hardy gate]

you can bake the lights dark. and then do that lighting trick i said earlier

as thatll making anything not baked bright. such as avatars

[bronze spruce]

I dont know how to bake :D

[hardy gate]

oh, ok so do you have any point lights or it just the direction light?

[bronze spruce]

i have 1 point light

no direction

[hardy gate]

if so. make all lights set to “baked” instead of realtime

[bronze spruce]

anything else?

[hardy gate]

then. any mesh you want lights to be baked on. click on their mesh and in the inspector top right. therell be a “static” option. ypull wanna turn those on

[bronze spruce]

would i have to do that for mirrors

[hardy gate]

if the meshes are fbxs/imported models. youll wanna go select them in your assets folder and then go to the i spector. go to the bottom of it and therell be a “generate lightmap uvs”. make sure this is on

[hardy gate]

those can be left a lone

[bronze spruce]

alright

[hardy gate]

they reflect

[bronze spruce]

so i just create another realtime point or directional light for the avatars?

[hardy gate]

no. when your lights bake. itll put a texture on all static meshes and will not be effected by the light. when the bakes done, youll change your “ambient/environment lighting” to a brighter color of your choosing

[bronze spruce]

ohh

so how do i bake them

[hardy gate]

theres a “generate lighting” button in lighting settings

[bronze spruce]

thank you so much

eeesh

[hardy gate]

oop oh ye, do “progress gpu”

and theres a deop down for “directional” set that that “non directional”. itll speed it up a little bi

[bronze spruce]

it worked thank you

[hardy gate]

epic

[bronze spruce]

How do you make a world android and windows compatible

[timid cave]

You switch your build target to the other format ( from windows to quest and vice versa) and build and upload again

[bronze spruce]

oh ok thank you

[timid cave]

No worries 👍

[bronze spruce]

also why cant i jump in my world lol

[timid cave]

You need to set the Juno height one thr vrc world descriptor

If you make sure to use the default example one from the vrcsdk it should have it set

[bronze spruce]

i love loading my project to find everything has mysteriously disappeared permanently :D

[timid cave]

Check you haven't opened op a different scene by accident

[timid cave]

I've had that happen before..it loaded up an old scene when I opened it up and was confused and panicked

Oh you mean in unity hub it's gone?

[bronze spruce]

thats the only one ive made

literally just gone :))

all the assets are still here but everything just got deleted from the scene

[timid cave]

Is it a different scene? What was the scene named

[bronze spruce]

well i never created any other scene

im assuming you can do that

[timid cave]

You can indeed. If you use the default scene name sometimes if toy import a package that has the same scene name it can overwrite it so it's always a good idea to rename your scene at least

[bronze spruce]

how lol

[timid cave]

the tree dots then save as, and call it whatever you like

[supple fog]

hi, I'm trying to get my world to quest users, but I'm stuck at making a metal and glass material

how do I do that?

[dreamy dawn]

it's not any different on quest than it is on pc, for worlds anyways. materials are the same. the only thing you can't do is fancy grabpass shaders.

[supple fog]

So I can leave the material as "Standard"?

[dreamy dawn]

yeah, standard shader is ok for quest worlds. just make sure you test your framerates! transparency is a real killer on quest

[prime jewel]

What about if you go full cut-out shader? I have a glass window and I replaced the standard transparency with just cut-out alpha which in theory should be render nothing?

[dreamy dawn]

i don't know enough about the technical details to say whether that'll still cause extra overdraw or not. but either way as long as you're careful about it you should be fine, there's a lot less restrictions on shaders in worlds. just use as few materials as you can get away with and don't overdo transparency and you'll be fine

[ebon summit]

Anyone know any worlds like the pet house quest world?

[median flume]

please i need help, is there any way to search for an avatar by performance??? i was looking for e-boy avatars but they all are very poor, or does anybody know a good avatar world with optimized e-boy avatars?

[supple fog]

why does this stuff always happen to me?

oh wait maybe i got it

maybe it's because I'm trying to publish a world, when I have already used my "only one world per week" ticket.

but then why would I recieve these messages in the console log?

AmplitudeAPI: upload failed - ConnectionTimedOut
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object)
AmplitudeSDKWrapper.AmplitudeWrapper/<>c__DisplayClass64_0:<PostEvents>b__1 (BestHTTP.HTTPRequest,BestHTTP.HTTPResponse)
BestHTTP.HTTPRequest:CallCallback ()
BestHTTP.ConnectionBase:HandleCallback ()
BestHTTP.HTTPManager:OnUpdate ()
BestHTTP.HTTPUpdateDelegator:Update ()
UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions ()

I have already tried re-importing the SDK btw

[supple fog]

but i have deleted that world from my accound, and now I'm left here, waiting 7 days to publish a wolrd. What can i do?

[timid cave]

You can upload as many as you want a week as private, it's only publishing to labs that has that lomit

[supple fog]

Then, what can I do to fix those errors?

What are they caused by?

[timid cave]

upload failed - ConnectionTimedOut
Sounds like an internet connection issue

[supple fog]

Damn

[supple fog]

I hope this is related to internet connection...

[radiant hinge]

Anyone know of any good or decent adventure/quest worlds?

[autumn thicket]

Heya! So I'm trying to make a world that's pc and quest compatible, and I'm having some issues with the quest version. On pc the world looks fine, on quest, not so much.

A lot of the collision for the objects in my world exists on Quest, but the objects don't render. Some I've managed to make render by making them use a mesh renderer and filter instead of a skinned mesh renderer - but then the textures are extremely dark, black.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about and what to do about it?

[autumn thicket]

Update: Figured it out. Good lord I am bad at worldmaking, hahah. Turned out that static batching everything was the issue.

[timid lichen]

is there any hollow knight worlds that are quest compatible? (please ping if replying)

[compact jolt]

im trying to make a pc and quest compatible world is it easier to start with the quest version first or pc?

[thin rose]

Probably quest

I’ve seen quite a few people have issues going from pc to quest

[timid cave]

Unless your world has some weird complicated behaviours either way should be just fine.

[coarse grail]

yeah but if you do model with the quest in mind you won't have to downgrade quite as much for the quest build

[timid cave]

True true.
Design with quest in mind and things should go smoothly.
Mainly don't use too much transparency.

The bane of my life is that most people make plants while using transparency for their leaves instead of just polys

😡

[median flume]

maybe i should ask for help in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8u-JYMB6cs&ab_channel=PDB'sstudios

[thorny crane]

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

How should I extract and use the drive url the right way for video players on Quest mode ?

[hardy gate]

it dont seem to work, i trued using it a few months ago and had no luck

[hardy gate]

it is, lemme find format to help with gdrive

If you want to make a google drive link work on quest. follow this structure:

https://drive.google.com//uc?export=download&id= (your google drive ID)

[thorny crane]

THANK YOU SO MUCH by my google drive id you mean the videos id or my user ID ?

[hardy gate]

videos

no user

make sure the share settings are set to downloadble

[willow lantern]

thanks 😦
