>>261974524
I know how you feel, I gave up after an hour of fiddling with it.

>>261974524
It's shit. Don't bother.

>>261974524
heh that's what it looks like to operate a real woman during sex

>>261974656
I kind of get it, I just don't see why the mouse can't control the camera. Or maybe it can and I just can't figure out how to do it. That's really the only thing keeping me from being fully interested in it.

>>261975007
I was using vr, so it's even more complicated. You can control the camera, but you have to use different trigger combinations to change the axis, and to change what item you're trying to rotate

>>261974524
it's probably the worst vr h-game around. i mean, it's okay to try it, but it's just so meh overall, so if you need to put effort, you might consider dropping it. i had no major issues with controls, i think it was pretty alright after reading the readme, but if you're struggling, try koikatsu vr or whatever.

>>261973016 (Cross-thread)
Still isn't worth it. The devs got the full $ even if it was discounted for you, and they don't deserve a single dollar for their shit development.

>>261973101 (Cross-thread)
Yeah I play the fuck out of moonrider, that's how I know beatsaber is such trash. I'd gladly give the devs of moonrider $15-$20, but beatsaber devs can go fuck themselves.

>>261975262
I wish koikatsu's vr interface was translated and less retarded. I have to struggle to concentrate and decipher the moonrunes and esoteric controls when i'm just trying to get a cute and funny catgirl to sit on my face.

>>261975829
It is translated.

To people who don't know, the CCO of VRChat, Ron Millar DESIGNED WARCRAFT, STARCRAFT, and Black and White 2... I'm sure they know each other well. Graham Gaylor, the Co-Founder of vrchat, has a similarly impressive CV and really knows his stuff. Jesse Joudrey worked at a team published by Capcom over a decade ago, and that's just 3 of them. So, to everyone, please, don't make assumptions about the underpinnings of vrchat's systems just because 90% of the CONTENT, which vrchat don't quality control, is super scuffed and made by literal highschoolers in the vast majority of cases. There are tons of other developers working on VRChat. It's a fascinating bit of software that seems to polarize a lot of people, much like second life did. Unfortunately, unless you work in software like me, the perspective of what is going on behind the scenes is really, really skewed. The only people the community interacts with are community managers. They do a great job, honestly, I never hear any complaints about them, just happy memes.
Much of what makes vrchat seem "amateur hour" is because it literally is being made by everyday people, who dink with Unity and 3d as a hobby, and former MikuMikuDance enthusiasts and fringe 3d modelling refugees like me.In it's underpinnings, in my opinion, it does "vr virtual world" better than multi-million dollar corps like SecondLife/Sansar do with less overall bugs, system requirements, and a much easier barrier to entry and content creation. It supports more headsets and accessories than anyone else, like full body tracking, and did so before everyone else did going on 5 years ago, and has one of the highest persistent user bases of any game on steam, period. It also allows far more than other virtual worlds do. The freedom is astounding.

I personally love Carmack and his innovative genius, I grew up playing his games and wanting to work in that environment, but it's possible there's not much that they're not already doing. What VRChat does is cutting edge with the number of users they have, full stop. I've personally worked on unity clones to vrchat before. I've used EVERY virtual world available, in VR, for over 6 years. It's simple to make something similar in design with the free tools available with unity, but not easy to make something that scales to 8k users a day worldwide as they have. You might be surprised.
They have very few legitimate competitors for very good reasons. I deeply respect the app and it's staff on the whole.All that being said, John may have access to something related to solving this difficult networking optimization issue that VrChat team doesn't have access to at the moment. Remember he's the CTO of OculusVR. He is also working with chief scientist of Oculus, Michael Abrash. If anything, it's not a lack of knowledge: it may be a lack of access to a tool or something Oculus may be able to provide.

>>261974524
It's complete fucking garbage in part because most of the models included in the pack are absolutely awful, the physics don't work correctly or just look nothing like they would in MMD so you'll never want to use them. Sifting through those each time is cancer so just going through them all once to favorite the usable ones makes sense but it's a chore when there's hundreds of really shitty ones in the complete pack. Adding your own is a diceroll too, most of the ones I tried had issues and wouldn't work.

It became a bit more usable after doing all that and had some scenes to load but by that point you still end up with less fappable content than Koikatsu or Honey Select and I wondered why I even bothered in the first place.

One day vrchat won't be shit and we can enjoy them as intended!

having fun?
Hi. Ron Millar here. VRChat Alien guy. Been watching this reddit thread and I wanted to weigh in with some facts and history. There's so much there that one day I'll probably write a book. I loved my time at Blizzard and I recently had lunch with Allen Adham and we're still friends.

I was asked to participate in re-telling of Warcraft and Blizzard History and chose not to for my own personal reasons. So many of the quotes are from stories told and retold decades later with some parts of the stories forgotten, slightly changed and so on. It's fine. Doesn't bother me. I know what I did as do the people I worked with.

WarCraft was supposed to be a series of historical military battle games one after the other. This was my friend Allen Adham/s original concept. Allen, along with Mike and Frank were the original founders. Allen was the president of Silicon & Synapse which became Blizzard. I was an artist, animator and designer at the time and Sam Didier and I were huge sci-fi and fantasy fans. I also played Warhammer 40k and D&D. Sam and I realllly didn't want to work on what we thought would be super boring military history games so we pitched another idea that was more fantasy. I am the one that made WarCraft "Orcs and Humans" and created the initial art style with Sam in Deluxe Paint. We'd just finished Rock n Roll racing where we made the cars in 3D and painted over them in deluxe paint animator so we did this again for Warcraft 1 buildings and units. I also came up with much of the early lore in a dos editor. Allen and I actually sat together and typed up a lot of the names of the missions and outline. Then I took them and fleshed out far more deeply. I created the first 3D cinematic. I created all the unit types, building types, how things were built, the names of heroes, the back story (which drove all the missions and more). It also took a team to "design" and built WarCraft.

>>261977084
>>261976760
>>261976879
But I led the design. Back in those days we always put "Designed by Blizzard Entertainment" to make it fair. Cos, it's true. It takes a village.

I went on to lead the Design of Warcraft 2 and the Expansion Pack. While that was going on I had already been thinking about a Sci-Fi version. WC 2 was supposed to have four races at first and hero units but we had to scope back. So when I got the chance to make heroes it was the expansion pack. Side note... Warcraft 2 almost became humans from the future in F-15's and such and Orc's riding dinosaurs! did you know that? It took Stu Rose and myself (who never agreed on anything) to convince the other 22 members of the company to not go there.

FUN FACT: Andy Weir creator of "The Martian" book and movie was a programmer on WarCraft 2 and his office was filled with empty coke cans which eventually caused an ant invasion :)

http://www.thecomputershow.com/computershow/news/ronmillarredlineactivision.htm

Lordaeron is cheekily a play on "Lord Ron"

All the apostrophe names for things I used on Blackthorne. When Metzen joined as an artist he and I would have long convos about the full universe of Warcraft and he adopted the naming stuff and helped me embellish the world much more fully. He obviously has a massive talent for that. I could see that even back then and let him take all that over. Same on StarCraft. I'm super proud of him and all he's accomplished. He is really talented and such a great guy. James Phinney was a programmer at Blizzard. When I left since Chris Metzen and he took over completing the mission design, tuning and story along with Rob Pardo. So that's why they are listed as the designers.
I have all the original paper docs and drawings for all my games. I've posted them online before. I may do again properly when I'm not busy on VRChat along with a full history of how each game was made. From my point of view.

Hope that sheds some light on stuff? It's fine if people choose to not believe things. All that stuff was great but that's in my past. My focus now is on VRChat.

Regarding Carmack. I've met him many times. Get along with him great. If he wants to take a look at our stuff then cool. Nothing wrong with someone offering some help or insight right? All good by me and our team. I will say that we're also working on solutions that will make Network IK better with or without John's input.

but lhun is full of shit, right? Let's just shit on him some more and one of his childhood inspirations for making a lifelong career of computing and teaching others.

>>261976934
I did the same. Literally 1% of the content is not completely terrible. Absolute waste of time.

>>261977371
cope

>>261976760
Hi. Ron here. I came up with Orcs and Humans and all the original WarCraft lore. Metzen wasn't even hired yet. And when he was he started as an artist on our console games. It wasn't until much later he really took over story and lore because he was obviously passionate about it and talented with story. Without me WarCraft would not have been fantasy based. It would have been a series of historical battle games through the ages in shiny white boxes. As far as all the mechanics that was most definitely a team effort but leading, directing and shaping the design was my role. I was also an artist and animator on all the games. That made it easy to come up with a unit or a building then just create the art for it. Same with missions and background art. When I was typing up the initial story, hero and mission ideas I had no idea it was going to turn into the behemoth it is now. I was just chucking in ideas to glue a fantasy battle game together. A lot of it was actually bashed out in a hurry without too much thought. I would always work in my name to every game I made. Mostly in the art but I was a fan of Lord British in the Ultima games so put Lordaeron to cement my name into the lore. Ironically I prefer Horde and monsters more than Alliance and humans. So I'm not sure why I didn't work my name into an Orcish land. Most of us were also fans of Monty Python and silly stuff so that's where exploding sheep and the repeated clicking silly voices came from. Bill Roper actually was responsible for most of that stuff. We didn't have the internet back then so bunch of inspiration came from Dragon Magazine compendiums, D&D modules and manuals and stupidly thick Warhammer books.

so is lhun full of shit, or is Ron? The man himself came and backed everything he said up. Sounds like the retards on reddit are a bad as some of you.

>>261979648
That's tilted down, right?

Update from one of the inspired anons from the the last thread.
I actually installed unreal and made a map with collision physics and custom blueprints. I've never done game development before, but I have been a C++ developer for about 10 years in the industry. I know this is the hello world of game development, but I don't think I can ever take indie game devs seriously when they talk about programming challenges anymore. UE4 programming is flowchart drag and drop VB6 development unless you stray from the happy path which they never do.

What genres do you think are underrepresented that one programmer could realistically pull off that you would actually buy or go f2p cosmetic dlc? I have to stick some monetization model on this even though it's a hobby project because I know if I don't I will never actually finish it.

>>261980179
Whatever you do unironically remember to eat healthy, drink water, look at life insurances and be at peace with yourself, good luck anon

this is hardly VR related but how do I NOT throw up when I wake up, I have a feeling that's going to happen

>>261980086

>>261980179
Maybe an arena shooter? I feel like it'd be kinda hard to get the movement right in VR though, and I doubt it'd sell well.

>>261980179
Make an anime VRFPS with microtransaction cosmetics for the weeb audience.

>>261980421
Thanks, anon! I'll give that a shot.

>>261980179
Hrm... that can be a tricky one.
Could possibly try and do a Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley type of game with an emphasis on cozy routine based stuff. Good locations to see, nice actions to do like water and picking plants.
I'd buy that in a heartbeat personally.

Of course whatever you decide to do I have to throw in my support for custom player models if at all possible. That, especially for VR, makes things much nicer.

Meanwhile just watched the one lone furry Neos metaverse dev take all of three days to program from scratch his own implementation of a grabbable physics based dynamic bone component. Solely in order to [x] touch fluffy tail.
Hell in the last two months alone he integrated twitch streaming with interactive chat commands, released an Oculus quest build, added full knuckles support, implemented the vive pro eye trackers, got visemes/blendshapes working by helping to fix the assimp library, and still had time to make a photogrammetric reconstruction and virtual museum of the Apollo landing site from the original photos for fun. All this while doing daily bug fixes, major optimization work, and implementing every single ridiculous request made by his supporters.

What has VRchat gotten in that same period of time? A single climbing hack prefab that was made by the community. A locomotion system mind you that Neos has had natively for a year now.

Truly the underDOG story of our VR times.
Other devs are you even trying?

>>261981021
By the time I could I think they will have been forgotten, the start date is today. There will be one failed 'game' which will be the learn how unreal works failure before I can attempt to present anything.
A stardew clone is probably super doable. I played a lot more factorio then stardew, but I have different autistic tastes.
Cozy is key though aesthetically, both in gameplay and in style. This was born out of frustration that if some edgelord like Pavlov VR's dev can make a game and do well, I'm pretty sure anyone could if they had any software development skills.

Honestly the shit SSG put together today was amazing, but unfortunately it had terrible performance, it's not his fault though, it is VRChat's fault.
His world today is the prime example why you might need Udon to make things easier to create.

>>261983251
I'd say the biggest thing is to make sure you like the project, so if you'd prefer a factorio type of game, go for it.
Though if you do go the Harvest Moon style, I'd be happy to dump my own thoughts about the genre and mechanics. Played them all from the GB Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Story of Seasons, and the newer stuff like Stardew Valley and My Time At Portia. I'm a big nut for that kinda game.

>>261983308
>June 2018
And holy shit that's the literal equivalent of a single daily update in Neos. I don't know how the player base hasn't rioted at this point.

>>261983064
Frooxis is a rare mind that only comes around once in a very long time.
He's hard to beat, i'll agree.
Neos is pretty amazing but being a sole dev with a tiny playerbase he has a lot of creative freedom to break everything.

That being said Neos is a giant gaping security hole.
You can root every user's machine in it arbitrarily and delete or download anything you want from the active user's machine.
It runs unsigned javascript in a privileged executable and you can modify that on the fly.
Literally just stick a web panel to your own code in a world and have at it.
must be nice to not have enough users for that to not be a problem.

>>261984263
That really sucks because it seems like he's trying hard to make something of his own.
I agree, it's cool to make cool stuff, but don't forget about security.
I still prefer the offline way of creating content instead of doing it in-game, which is one of the things that sort of put me off about Neos.
The library he uses to load all kinds of media is heavy on the CPU.

>>261984639
if you can figure out who I am and actually wanna talk about why I and many others think vrchat deserves a bit more respect, I'll be around.
People like to point at other games and apps and say "why can't vrchat do this??" but then they forget vrchat has thousands of active users and attracts the kind of people who know how to fuck up someone's day if they feel like it and have no morals.
Why do you think other games like this don't have crashers and vrc is full of them?

>>261984916
VRChat is unfortunately also open, it should have shipped with an encrypted executable from the very beginning.
I understand the whole playerbase part, but you probably understand that VRC did not plan for the playerbase explosion so early and they still had their Unity game open, anyone could whip out dnSpy or a similar .NET reflector and rip the game open just like any other Unity game and ruin it.
This would have been avoidable but they would have had to plan for it.
Even an il2cpp build of a Unity game can be reflected, but it takes too long to accomplish.

VRChat should have had better security as well from the start, the lack of it encourages exploitation and internal code edits as game hacks.

>>261976576
Meetups are too insular now to be fun. If you can't be in VRChat for at least three or four hours every single day of the week you're quickly forgotten.

It very explicitly asks the user permission before running any scripts, your browser doesn't even do that.
>must be nice to not have enough users for that to not be a problem.
Have at. Neos is a pretty well sandboxed model, everything in game is ran through his own scripting system. Guarantee any bugs would be immediately addressed.

lmao literally none of this shit is true. Are you perhaps a bit bootyflustered vrchat shills? Your astroturfing campaign is starting to loose it's effectiveness. Your competitors are about to leapfrog you entirely.

>>261977371
He is full of shit, Ron is a hack replaced by Metzen and nowdays anyone who isn't a Blizzdrone could tell you Metzen crashed the franchise hard. If Metzen is 'better' than Ron by his own words? Of boy, my fucking sides are gone around anyone who actually thinks this grey, perving fuck knows how to make videogames. He was the lore guy, not the netcode writer.

>>261980179
Make an instagib shooter for VR, but with custom avatars.

>>261985323
that's really insensitive and I don't even know the guy.
and besides, lavender will be a graveyard forever anyway, you can't handle the kind of traffic it would require to reach the feature level of vrchat without 5 digit monthly server bills, it's just physics based on web traffic so it'll just be butthurt vrc banned refugees and infighting since you all seem so toxic.
Maybe they were lucky being "the first" but what's the fun in not being around a giant content creation community and instead a bunch of elitist jerks. Sounds slow and boring, desu.
you should probably recognize that before you continue, you're in their shadow already.

>>261978164
Okay that's cool, but how does any of this lore creation (which by the way, is and always was very generic, wooow orcs and humans huh) lead to a better GAME with GAMEPLAY and UDON and NOT SHIT FRAMES and maybe some ACTUALLY USEABLE IK?

What I found strange about /vrg/ meetups is that no matter how much time I spent online, I didn't learn anything about anyone, but other people I'd never directly interacted with knew things about me.

Going to do some recroom soon, dm Dal if you want in, gotta grab some dinner first. Might switch from Recroom to serious Sam depending on interest, talking around some do want to play Serious Sam again. Recroom has some unusual interest in it simply because anons want to play with people that are not 10 year olds screaming on the internet because their mom couldn't afford a babysitter so VR was the next best option.

Hi Lhun, obviousfag.

Fucking moron.

>>261986464
>anons want to play with people that are not 10 year olds screaming on the internet because their mom couldn't afford a babysitter so VR was the next best option.
It's somehow even worse than you'd think. I feel so damned uncomfortable every time it's like I'm some weird old fuck who just walked into a playground or some shit.

>>261985961
Please research how MMOs do networking and how things can scale based on how many players you have connected.

In Lavender you will have an auth server then you have a game server and that game server can host many other worlds as instances, this allows anyone to build their own private MMO if they wish.
There is going to be the 1. central server you login to, the official one, the servers its going to list and everything are going to be there, but it is not going to prevent anyone in the future from spinning up their private server version of Lavender that would allow people to list their own servers onto it.

Think a private server version of VRChat, it would essentially be that, you would login into a different auth server that hosts other servers that can host multiple worlds.
As for the player scaling, Lavender has load variable networking, it already has massive optimizations that VRC lacks for networked IK.
Please do your research before you say things.

>>261986486
I like how he can't shittalk the dev because you'd never be able to defend that position.

People eventually get to know a caricature of you without meeting you, and decide whether you're worth getting to know based on that. Only the most interesting and amusing things make it down the grapevine, though, so anything embarrassing that parts of the community don't approve of will get you blocked or at least ignored and avoided. I hate to use the tired analogy but it really is like high school for adults.

>tfw my dancing sucked less than expected

>>261986656
Nope, try again.
Their own servers... can handle 64+ active users for voice and ik netcode for fbt without shitting itself on a consumer router.
I'll believe it when I see it.

>>261984491
When the fuck was this?

>>261987168
I imagine you'd rent a VPS for it like every other game with community servers

>>261987234

I've literally seen it, deadass. I'll believe VRChat can handle 30 in like, 20 years from now when Ron isn't busy blowing the HTC grants on coke.

>tfw not EU so have to watch everything cool from work

>>261987168
Why would you consider the router to be the bottleneck? Even 90s routers could handle Mbps data rates which is orders of magnitude greater than anything a game will ever send.

>>261987354

>>261987168
>T-The router!
Holy shit dude stop embarassing yourself

>>261987726
Lolno. You massively underestimate this.
It's not the mbps. It's the sockets.

>>261987168
You can try yourself today, the current nightly build is stable enough for gameplay.
You can also locally host a server by clicking on a publicly listed map from the API.
I'm confident you can host a large Lavender server since you can set the tickrate of clients in the server config.

I don't know why you think that it's impossible to host 64+ servers, people have been doing this with flat games such as Battlefield 2, Garry's Mod on way worse engines.
Are you talking about ADSL network connections here? The rest of the world has pretty fast internet.
>>261987739
But why? Lhun please tell me, you have years of networking experience.

>>261987852
>Lolno. You massively underestimate this.
It's not the mbps. It's the sockets.
What sockets? Websockets? Ports open?
I want to know what sockets you're thinking about so we can discuss this.

>>261987805
I have the same perspective as you except I'm laughing at YOU about the things you think are trivial but are not.
Just try it. Do a real load test at real scale. I'll wait.
Oh oh wait do it in an ec2 heavy too so you bankrupt yourself after an hour @64 users.

>>261987739
People ran 64-player Battlefield dedicated servers with no issues, and those included voice chat. How much worse is it with IK?

>>261987926
Who the fuck is lhun and why do you keep saying I'm him

>>261985404
This is nonsense. VRchat being encrypted or not doesn't mean a thing. Sure people can reverse engineer parts of it, but just because you can use reflection to view the source code doesn't mean a thing.

>>261988383
So you're telling me that being able to see and change anything and everything about the game - where VRChat heavily relies on trusting the client is nonsense?
If you can't get to the source code and you cannot attach a cheat engine to the game because it would close on you, you essentially protected your game for a long time until a dedicated guy comes along and rips into it for his own fun.
If this didn't matter then no company would care about protecting their intellectual property, and source code to software is IP, reflected or not.
The fact that you can reflect C# code so easily just makes it worse, if it were a native application (non-IL), it would be marginally harder for a young script kiddie to take apart because they would actually have to learn things before they attempt to reverse such an application.

I've not able to run VRchat the last few months it's been running like crap and I can't figure out why. I've already tried reinstalling once. It's a semi random bug where when I boot up it just starts stuttering like mad and I'm lucky to have a dozen frames a second in the default home room. All my other VR games run awesome even with sampling turned up. I'm running a 7700k/2080ti so don't typically expect to run into these issues but even then I get dogshit performance in VRchat normally, the stuttering just kills it entirely. It's at the point I hardly play anymore.

>>261990063
I had to reinstall windows to get any frames in VRC. Couldn't figure out the problem.

>>261990278
wat the fug

>>261989032
You could go into cache and just grab maps. There is no 'market' in this game officially. If you concerned about your commissions being grabbed by a hacker your relying on the game to do things it clearly doesn't care about.

>boot vrchat
>perfect 90 frames in specific world
>join friend in shit room suddenly get 10 frames
>go back to the world of before
>still 10 fps
>stays at 10 fps unti I restart VRChat and then I suddenly get frames again
Literally, what the fuck is this garbage.

>>261987431
It was in the thread for days.

>>261990278
>>261990063
dump the vrchat directory in appdata/local and that'll go away.

>>261990537
uncleared memory
vrchat doesn't clear memory until you fucking close it
restart often, preferably while everyone's moving to a new world

>>261987431
Yea the discord is filled with people who don't come to the thread and don't go to the thread and just kinda want to leech the community of it's good parts without having to put up with the rest or even contribute back.
The community is called /vrg/ because it's based around this virtual reality general thread on the /vg/ board on this website called 4chan(nel).
So if you're an outsider who doesn't come to the thread, doesn't go to meetups in vrchat or join lobbies or participate in anything related to the general topic and just joined the discord purely to elbow your way into things like this and then leave afterwards this event wasn't meant for you.
*grabs throat*
Fuck off?

>>261991593
I wish we could just rename the Discord server to something else, because it's clearly a separate (but related) community from the thread. It's no more "official" than the 12 other Discord servers full of people from the VRChat meetups, and doesn't deserve special status.

There was an announcement in the discord last Saturday, as well as numerous postings here.

Why would that be the cause? I'm probably going to set the cache as small as possible anyway, as all it ever does it store outdated versions of everyone's models.

Do I have to sign all my posts and let everyone know I use the thread? Sort of defeats the purpose of 4chan don't you think? How can you prove who uses it and who doesnt? I've heard all kindas of people saying they dont use it anymore and then off hand another day laughing at a post in the thread.

I'm going to play Township Tale on the AUS server. Please come join as I have no idea what I'm doing except that I need iron to make a backpack.

>>261984491
Looks like fun. wish I was able to go.
That map is kinda shit though. too many lights going off at once rape frames and ruin music. I experienced that last time

local gun fucking dies

>>261994206
Yeah they like to use offhand jokes as "proof", if they have to frame things harder then a museum to "verify" their evidence instead of looking at the whole picture like those with the facts do, don't argue with em. If they have to tell not just half truths, but 1/8th truths or modify things it just proves how wrong they are. Meetup anons know how hilarious this thread is because of how night and day the lies here are opposed to the truth. Just remember samefagging exist, and autist gunno autism.

Is there really nothing more than a dozen or so stock sex poses/animations?

Everyone remembers at the start Second Life was sold as a social collaboration tool for universities and institutions as much as anything else. In the end it became something completely different. At peak Second Life turned players into Real Life sex slaves:

Will VRChat reveal a dark and unexpected endgame too? If so, what?

>>262016170
We are already at the endgame for VRChat. It has nowhere else to go but where it currently is until they upgrade to 2018 and enable some sort of scripting or finish implementing udon sometime within this fucking decade.

Fuck VRChat.

>>262016435
Please stop, we don't need June, the chigger, lhun and ron coming back to spam us

>>262016594
Then don't fucking ask stupid questions nigger.

>>261976934
Agreed. It's a complete trash bin. It could possibly be okay if it had some quality, but most models are broken in one way or another.

I'm not the one you're talking to you faggot, I'm just telling you to end this shit before it spirals out of control you whiny bitch

>>262015979
In VR you don't get anything but sex poses. Also some idol concert shit? It's just jerk-off material, Honey Select has a pretty good model viewer where you can morph and fuse models together.

Well, would take time to make nice hi poly avatars.
Or make it like rec room paintball. But airsoft instead, where the health is a balloon floating above the chibi avatar(like versus mario kart) and the goal is to pop it.
Then let users upload their own avatars with limits. Colour of avatar can be whatever since the server side balloon colour indicates the team.

>>262024901
>VR is boring, what are you doing with your life.
IRL is even more boring. All of my hobbies are on life support because communities are dead and it's boring doing everything solo.
>Every day the same shit.
IRL isn't? It's even worse.
>Vrchat has no content
Yes and no. It has more content than most other games, and you still can find something neat and new if you look for it.
>How do you cope?
By switching between boring games while getting my toes wet in gamedev. Waiting for Boneworks and Nostos. Waiting for a miracle to happen.

Game seems unoptimized. Uses a lot of dynamic lights and no mesh clean up for their prefab stuff.

So I was playing NMS in anticipation for VR version, and I realized something looking at the planets from my spaceship.
It doesn't matter.
None of it matters.
just b yourself

>>262026612
yeah, even VRChat doesnt get that bad unless I go to full public instances with no safety settings.
Nothing I see excuses this kind of framerate and no graphics options to tweak is a strange decision.

>>262026645
except that is not true. You live in a society and all your life is conditioned by what others think of you. The romatic thing of "just bee youself" does not work and can and will cause you sorrow

Is Friday or Saturday less dead these days?

>>262028604
We did occasionally but the fun was just being there with each other and seeing new things. They put so much effort into making this game really immersive. Like to make a sword you have to make a handle, guard, and blade. Each of them you have to smelt the ore by chucking it into a furnace and pumping the blower to get ingots then smelt those into a mold for the part then heat it over coals and hammer it into shape over an anvil. I'll post in the thread whenever I'm about to get on in case someone else wants to join.

>>262029345

>>262028779
Friday night is so alive, people are getting frustrated in wrangling in the retards for a group photo.
Despite the audio patch, people further away from you get muffled when someone up close is talking to you, you can't hear your own thoughts.

Take that as you will.

>>262029509
Shit, I stopped coming to Friday night because it was totally dead, then Saturday night seemed to die too, so I thought VRC was abandoned by all but a core group.

Just set the alarm an arbitrary amount of hours/minutes before (e.g. 30 minutes), instead of an entire day. Surely, some desktop application can do that, and any phone and alarm clock definitely can.

Game is pretty expansive. The way everything is built with VR in mind is amazing. Most everything has to be manually interacted using your VRhands just makes me so happy.

Gonna see if I can make more highlight reels in the near future. Lots of really fun things happened in that 2.5hrs span.

>I forgot using female avatars was only normal in vrg
I'd wager it's actually the norm everywhere (e.g. MMOs), as long as the female characters are attractive. If they're not, might as well play male.
Those red-knob-nosed male models lead me to suspect that the female models aren't particularly attractive either, so males play males there and that's why they were confused.

>>262031823
I think I there's a difference between playing a character in a desktop mmo game(since you see it in 3rd person) and playing as an avatar in a vrmmo

>>262031983
I think that when the Day of the VR will have come, the hypothetical day when most programs are in VR, that even then most people would play as female characters, provided they can be made attractive.

>>262031514

I don't think the VRChat devs are actively developing VRChat. I'd be surprised if their company even has a project manager. Their team is so lacking in professionalism it strikes me as a bunch of smug college kids thinking, "hey, we can just do whatever we want/do everything ourselves." They act like this shit is just an experiment to them and they don't give a flying fuck about what the user base wants.

>>262029345
Neat looking forward to a NA hours group. I know there were a few who play but I haven't really looked into the game before. I felt pretty burnt on Orbus so I didn't want to be the first to jump into another mmo.

>>262035889
They outsource a lot

CL is the most based man in existence. I'm so fucking happy for this guy.

>>262036297
So they do absolutely fucking nothing. Makes perfect sense. I was giving them even more credit than they deserve by implying they did everything themselves when in fact they do nothing at all. Thank you for confirming that for me, I had a sneaking suspicion I was being too generous.

>>262036194

Who are the protagonists, /vrg/?

>>262044510
/vrg/ is a multimedia franchise. Y is the protagonist of the main series which follows early NA hours.

>>262046137
Except Y hasn't been on early NA for the past 3 months.

Blade and Sorcery is back on the menu boys

>>262046348
The current time period is taking place off screen.

>>262046137
Y got removed but made a quick cameo yesterday.
If NA /vrg/ feels stale, try the EU spinn off featuring piggu as the MC and what shenanigans they are up to. Also less drama then NA, but more gay.
Theres also some /SEA/ spinn off, but they are mostly SoL, half length episodes featuring 4-6 anons sitting around a table, being moe and drinking tea.

>>262046419
That kick at 0:45 was smooth

>>262046734
NA has the best drama it's great. It's like watching your favorite crime-action-comedy-romcom-thriller that jumped the shark 5 seasons ago and is still going on.

Is there any way to have vertex animation in VRChat for hand animation? For example, lets say I put a different hand model for every gesture. Gestures spawn those individual hand models. I want to achieve a choppy look - essentially 2 frames of animation.

>>262048104
To do the log chopping starter quest you need to chop the logs into little bits

>>262048748
It's tedious as shit but yeah, you have to chop a three into 3 logs and then fuck up each log into pizza slices

>>262048869
I just went around and chopped the stumps people had chopped down into pizza slices

>>262048869
Chopping isnt tedious if you hild the axe with two hands and take nice long swings
One handed tapping likebyour playing minecraft will give you a bad day, swinging like youre actually chopping logs for the fire

>>262049809
>not akimbo chopping
My grandpa was canadian.

So what causes the bad framerates in Township Tale? Too many players? Game itself (lightning etc.)? It's kind of a feat its running so bad.

>>262050070
Its rather complex game and its running on unity engine
If you watch official unity video explaining the new ecs system for unity 2019 they basically admit to why their game has such shit performance and how the new ecs system is supposed to fix that
My amateur assumption is each player entity has a stupid amount of scripts on it and each gameobject like every mushroom in the ground ebery enemy running around has a lot of funtionality scripts on them. And the game engine is just chugging on bloat from poor world instancing and just a lot of shit going on.
The main town was the most lag for me but when the group went into the wilderness the lag went away. Again amateur assumption but the town has a lot of interactive objects.

>>262050794
Okay, I'll try to not hang around town too much then. Tutorial area was doable with like 5 other people, though it had a dip here and there, town is basically constant reprojection.

>>262056756
haha good one

>>262057229
I feel like they went overboard with gimmicks at expense of quality.
I wouldn't have cared if thumbsticks and buttons didn't detect finger placement if it meant I had more of them and they felt better. Pimax will have even less inputs, so it's fucked.
The only hope is a miracle or Valve fixing their shit. Still, I don't think they want to please gamers, so I doubt I'll see what I want.

>>262056971
Yeah valve fucked up and used some N64 level of thumbstick tech.

My EV3 thumbs worked still work flawlessly after 6 months of daily use, though they feel significantly looser than the retail sticks. I'll take loose sticks over drift any day.

The controller Valve doesn't want you to use.

>>262057229
Or more like something to learn about developing products. They know how to make a good thumbstick. The Steam controller didn't have this problem.

>>262057774
>>262059051
valve has no sense of how to make the controller ergonomic and comfortably simple to use.
I keep saying it, the reason the oculus controllers are arguably still the best ones, discussion of finger tracking aside- is because they were intuitively designed.
you take what works- a generic playstation-like controller, put the 4 face buttons in the middle instead of the right, ditch the directional buttons, and you split it in half. bam. it just werks. while valve and is basically trying to reinvent the wheel here.

I can't for the life of me find a honeyselect DL, can a kind anon help me?

The touch controllers are pretty close to optimal for VR. If there was a space-calibrator like thing for using the touch controllers with index headest, I'd do it immediately.

Aside from the fastest swings, it performs perfectly for me with 3 sensors.
>massive CPU usage
Idk about the tracking code itself, but the entire Oculus services takes like 10-15%, while SteamVR actually somehow takes more even though they don't do any tracking calculations.
>battery brown outs
The what? Haven't had any battery problems here. I prefer using my Touch controller over my Vive wands in terms of ease-of-use with battery management.

Switching from Rift to Index made me realize how often the touch controllers were drifting and jerking out of place, and in Beat Saber not tracking to anywhere near the level required. I also get multiple times the frame rate in all games. I tried everything possible short of building an entirely new computer.

>>262065721
Yeah, I don't know what's going on with your set, but mine operates very well and is pretty competitive with my Vive's tracking and also latency.

crafting system is pretty itjustwerks tier simple, but I don't know how complicated it gets later on- felling trees felt really good however, but mining+wedging logs just needs a better indicator, there were a lot of retards just smacking shit with sticks completely oblivious to what's going on
also it tracks height accurately, and at 6' I was a solid foot taller than everyone else in the tutorial, so get ready for a headache- there are a fucking load of kids

I think I'm slowly growing resentful towards my vrfu although I try to forget about it and blame it on me being clingy. I can't help but to feel they pay more attention to other people than to me and that they've lost interest compared to the past to the point where I feel like sometimes we're just an acquaintance when hanging around with others rather than a couple. It low key makes me think they only want me for lewds and as a night pillow after everyone else has left. The only times when we usually do something is when I ask and it's like they're doing it as an obligation/favor rather than wanting to hang out themselves, the times they want to hang out themselves it seems like it's mostly targeted towards other people rather than just ourselves

I don't really want to talk with them about it(although I've low key done it in the past) because then it'd make everything seem even more artificial and emotionally force them to be with me rather than doing so because they want to

I feel like nobody really misses me when I'm gone or cares about me, like I'm not even a blip on anyone's radar. Hanging out with /vrg/ for a year+ may have been a waste of time and a mistake.

>>262080482
This sounds like a very bad idea satan. What if the reason they seem to not be hanging out with them is because they want to do something else with them too but the activity is different between the two persons.
Wanting to hang out with them but they keep wanting to separate out from the others at the corner of the map. It's possible to enjoy each other's company without clinging together alone in a corner ignoring everyone else.

Hence giving the cold shoulder will just exacerbate the problem. Just open up and talk about it more.

What was your gateway into VR? I tried some shitty phone vr goggles and it felt like a new world opened up. Will probably dish out the money for the valve index next.

that's fantastic first day in a new world and vrg starts a server wide manhunt
this game is great
these guys have the right idea when it comes to world and player interaction
once the optimization problems are taken care of a pvp server could be pretty damn fun
this game is fun with friends just fucking about and foraging already raided villages
meeting randos and talking to them
The first VRMMO that gets everything right is going to be fucking massive.
I'm even more hype for No Man's Sky now.

>>262095674
>From cardboard to actual VR
Wew. You'll be surprised how much of a leap that is.
If you don't have a good computer, Oculus quest might be better for you.
Also index is super expensive. How deep do you want to go into VR?
Maybe Rift S will be sufficient for your thrist.

>>262095805
I think i got completely crashed out township dudes. it was fun though. why are backpacks so expensive

>>262095674
VRchat webms on /wsg/ in 2017.

>>262095674
I had a friend who was an adamant "lol it's just a screen strapped to ur face F-FUTURE OF GAMING LMAO" guy. His brother bought a Vive and he immediately started singing it's praises and squealing about how wrong he was. The night-and-day flip of his attitude, even though he desperately wanted more than anything for it to be shit was what convinced me that it'd probably be worth getting.

>>262095825
If I'm gonna dish out significant money on this, I prefer to just pay a little more and get the best shit. How locked down is oculus' stuff? I want to be able to tinker around with custom content any way I want.

I'm currently building a new computer, will a 2080 be enough for most headsets?

>>262096143
it's just the copper bars that's expensive you can forage all the other parts just wondering around some villages

>>262096252
>2080 be enough
more than enough
i'm still going on my 1060 6gb
most of these vr experiences will be held back more by an old cpu or a cpu that has poor single thread performance
you want the fastest cpu you can buy not the most expensive or the one with the most cores, fastest single core performance.

>vrchat will never have devs as good as these
it's not fair bros...
really does look like they need to update to 2019 and use the new optimization features in that version of unity because they do all the obvious optimization techniques already.

>>262096252
>will a 2080 be enough for most headsets?
More than enough. 980 is passable but also suffering. I had a 1060 3gb and got by "just fine" until I upgraded to a 2070. Only really ever had issues in the games everyone had issues on like vrc, contractors, and onward with the 1060 but probably wasn't sitting at 90fps the entire time. 1080 is a good standard but if you've got the cash to go for a 2080 you might as well.

>>262096252
get a 2080 super

>>262096442
It seems like it would be hella GPU-bound since a lot of these headsets have dual 1440p+ screens. Is there some trick that's used to massively cut rendering processing?

I'm getting the 3900X, will probably be a few percent slower than the 9900k.

>>262096920
They need to learn Load On Distance for all of their terrain and item prefabs as well not just occlussion culling

>>262096920
>>vrchat will never have devs as good as these
And that's a good thing. The IK is so broken it makes VRC looks good. There was one case where a anon was trying to put a cauldron of water in a forge to see what would happen and I pointed out that it was empty on my screen, and the dude next to us was seemingly talking to thin air. You can travel with folks and they're be literally lagging around because of the server strugling to send back info of their whereabouts. My computer flatout died when we came back to the packed blacksmith area. Mind you this was only about a 22pop server. The voice/audio dropoff is really wonky also.

>>262097383
Aye. These township devs best work is in the thinking and implimentation of novel VR based ideas and interactions. They have really bad server handling

>>262091934
>>262095805
based

>>262097383
If township tale could handle even vrchat levels of population, it'd be a lot more bearable. Having everyone stuttering around every half-second is pretty awful experience.

>>262087776
doope

>>262097596
Yeah thought all the interactions were pretty slick for the most part. Clearly was developed solely as a VR experience and everything was tangible and nicely skeuomorphic if that makes sense. Most VR experience seem to fail at this completely so it stands out when it's done well.
Wasn't too impressed with much else though. Combat wasn't very interesting and felt very waggle tier in it's control as you're just triggering a hitbox. Also not a lot of stuff to explore it seemed, a lot of repetition and there were just the two enemy types I was able to find. Also wasn't a big fan of the artstyle but I can understand their approach in making the best use of the resources/assets they can get right now.

>>262098432
Reading through the wiki, it seems like there's some interesting minecraft like progression with... mining and crafting, but there's a really tight resource bottleneck on copper ore to get the fucking backpack, else you only have 5 inventory slots. Needs a bit of mechanical polish in addition to actual server optimization, but it does have promise.

>>261985323
Lhun is pretty nice actually and you cant deny that his tutorials are a very good ressource.

>>262099928
Thank you lhooney toon, very cool post. Where would we ever be without your contributions to our great VRsociety. All of our custom avatars wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for you.

You can try out Aria Company and Ukijima in Lavender now, just check them in the Testing Menu. Porting them over was pretty painless and I believe Lavender deserves to have a few proper Worlds. I will continue to maintain them for VRChat and Lavender.

>>262096252
Rift CV1 with 1060 6gb and Ryzen 1700, perfect in every vr game except vrchat in the most crowded concert worlds and even then the ASW smooths things out enough.

VR is demanding but not so demanding you need bleeding edge hardware. If you pass this you're good enough:

>How locked down is oculus' stuff? I want to be able to tinker around with custom content any way I want.

The Rift and Rift S are Steam vr compatible headsets and three quarters of your games will be launched through that. Oculus has their own storefront with some exclusives titles but if you're a dev or whatever you have the same control over what software you can run as anyone else and there's plenty of third party games that can launch into the headset without either steam or the oculus library. So yeah, your vr porn is fine.

SURPRISE TOWNSHIP TALE, SEA/AUSSIE SERVER

I missed NA township tale today, will you guys be playing again? Is there a certain point I should catch up to first?

>>262104123
>>262104168
YES RIGHT NOW

>>262104284
I want to play with NA though

>>262104347
I am NA playing aussie, they chill

>>262104421
I’ve never played, do I do the tutorial alone?

Summer group photo 2.5 in about 30 minutes. One later in the night for others.

>>262104521
Go for it but post when you finish

>>262105161
I will later, I’m going to have dinner first.

this feature has been in Unity since 4.3 and it's really useful, it has been a thing for ages in videogames though.

games journalists got a ton of shit for not knowing what frustum culling & occlusion culling is in horizon zero dawn.
besides that, this "tech" has been in use since early 90s.
to use it in a vrchat world it's as easy as pressing a button but many people are lazy to do so + it can add up to 50 megabytes to a world on a massive map but on average for small to medium sized worlds the data to cull objects is quite small and works well with VR.

Contrary to popular belief, this also works if you have large grouped meshes or a single mesh, since Umbra in Unity can do aggressive backface culling, so the backfaces of a model will not render to you, only the stuff that you're supposed to see, this has disadvantages in some cases, but it is based upon the assumption that during normal gameplay a camera does not see the backface of a model, this can be glitchy sometimes.
this does help reduce drawcalls but developers should pay more attention to how they're doing things.

use static batching for cases where you don't have repeating geometry (models that can't be instanced because they're all unique), in this case the CPU will do the work
enable GPU instancing on the materials for your props that repeat a lot, this will tell the GPU to render all those objects at once instead of sequentially, this way you can have millions of triangles on screen vs just thousands, in this case, disable static batching on objects that use gpu instancing and this way you're saving the CPU from a lot of legwork.

hope this helps any new world developer.

>>262104284
Where are you guys

>>262101205
Sugoi!

why the FUCK do developers keep announcing games with gameplay then proceed to go silent for months without so much as a estimated release date

why the FUCK didn't Boneworks release with the Index

why the FUCK DID I BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIT

is there any way to watch Netflix on a cardboard these days? I just wanna have comfy vr movie night in bed, but im having no luck.

I went with Trinus, but apparently netflix movies dont show up on it? or my settings are bad

The concert was amazing! As jank as it was due to VRChat's limitations i feel like it's a glimpse of bright virtual future!

Index was great for this too! Wider fov had a tradeoff in performance but also improved immersion in this setting. Changing the face gasket mid concert was nice for cooling off face and you could actually run the off ear headphones at a volume which you could feel the vibration of in addition to hearing to further enforcing the concert setting.

play beat saber

>>262108353
can you set up steamvr with trinus somehow, then use bigscreen to mirror your desktop? convoluted, but should work.

>>261973643
But were there pleas for coming in the ass?

>>262105494
>they don't know what occlusion culling is.
>they don't realize all the best vrchat worlds already do this.
>they think vrchat is not optimized.
sigh.

>>262011975
Welp only one thing to do.

>>262011975
Contact Twitch support. Have some milk, salt, butter, and you rmicrowave handy and await instruction.

>>262110118
the most popular worlds are optimized, the game isn't, this often leads to people shittalking the world dev
just look at xeverian for example, he made that RPG map that is super optimized but runs like shit because VRC components on a map aren't the best for performance but they are needed for gameplay features.

tl;dr scenes made by the community may be optimized but the game hosting it sure as hell isn't.

>>262110419
>the most popular worlds are optimized

lmao, i wish, the popular vrchat worlds are popular, because their creators know a lot of people who helped kickstart activity there

Beat Saber is amazing

>>262106129
