Standalone is holding VR back. You're simply not advancing the medium's potential while accommodating a phone processer. The sum of VR's "growth" amounts to quests showing up under christmas trees for children. Accessibility is a dead end, everyone knows it, but line must go up. Mods and cheap indi jank can be fun for a bit, but they're not growing pcvr player counts for good reason. Don't see how this will ever change either.

I am personally holding VR back

the best era of the internet was before all the monetization started
there is a lesson there for vr

quest 2 soc is good enough for good games

>>533175226
If i can get 50 hour long fantasyslop on the ps2 i can get 50 hour games on the quest

>quest 2 soc is good enough for good games
nah, the cpu side is too weak
+ it's a tiler

>>533164553
Got Volleying, Ballers.
We might try Thursdays at 22:00ish CEST going forward.

>>533174256
And monetization started with normies. Golden Age of Internet is over, Wild West era over.
With patreons and crowd funding there are options to keep monetization and investors away. But if you only play VRChat, then VR and VRChat is the same thing to you, and if VRChat goes under, so does VR as far as you are concerned. Because you never tried any alternatives, Neos, CVR, Basis etc.

>>533176386
That's the point.
We are currently in the wild west era of vr.
People just willingly locked themselves in the virtual barns and refuse to get out.

shut the fuck up retards

and trashnigs are melting again

>>533176613
VR is in the wild west, but majority here are Ram Ranch Cowboys who don't wanna ride a horse.

It's the mentally ill trashfag who was spamming dox before.
He is baiting. Just ignore him.

damn, this is fucking spot on lmao

Insane despite all its popularity squid games hasn't gotten a good all encompassing VRC map yet

Like I've seen red light green light, the social game, and the glass bridge but its all varying in quality and separated

pavloving was good if I do say so myself

Good game Pavlovers :)

>>533172972
Basically any 5/10 VR port on Steam is better than what most of FlatToVR is pooping out, like Borderlands 2 or Fallout 4 VR. Not every mod they make is to the quality of HL2 VR.

Price reduce the 9 banger!

It's a great addition to the game but the situations where it shines are too rare. Usually it just adds to the chaos, which is still good but not $500 good. The inability to reliably bounce them off walls doesn't help. I don't think it needs a damage or area buff otherwise it could become frustrating to play against. A lot of them were spammed in one round today and it didn't seem oppressive so there's little downside to a lower price.

>>533179820
My favourite is when they get literally stuck inside objects they were supposed to bounce off of

how many weeks until two more weeks?

EU Assetto Corsa: European Racing club
Race 102

18:00 UTC 20:00 CEST, 4th of August.

Grab your dads shitbox, we're going to race them!

60 minute practice
12 minutes qualifiers
15 laps race

Afterwards - A RACING RING BROKE OUT IN LEGO CITY? ARE YOU RACIST ENOUGH TO HANDLE THEM?

If you just bought Assetto - grab Assetto Corsa Content Manager - a better launcher and mod manager: https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html To install mods: just drag and drop zip files from mega onto the Content Manager windows and click on the hamburger menu on top right. Highly recommend installing stable custom shader patch and 7-zip plugin in Content manager.

For communication we'll use mumble at voice.vrg.party port 64738, as it doesn't need any registrations or logins.

>>533179820
>>533179889
>>533180512
They have a very high friction and stop simulating physics after detonation because their position isn't synced after that point. I know more about networking in Unreal now, so I may be able to improve that in future.

why does it feel like you repeat the same action multiple times because it didn't register...

>>533191301
because it exactly what happens

>>533191414
I kind of critiqued that a couple of month back, because the responsiveness seemed lacking. Back then you said it was because you were in the heat of a battle.
Would you still say that? Or is the detection just lacking in general?

>>533178845
We've been so cucked by the zuck, man. No one with the capitol is going to risk an attempt at disruption now. Why would Valve, for instance, drop ANOTHER loss leader PCVR HMD? There's not even a good reason for deckard to be optionally standalone, not while the quest ecosystem has all the momentum. Would meta cut a deal with steam to merge their hosting? Not fucking likely. Valve would have to bank on pulling people out of the quest ecosystem with some sort of steam-standalone platform. All this to sell more 5-15 hour phone games? Valve is done with hardware, i'm convinced.

>>533194537
VR gachas are the future
phone tier gameplay with jut a focus on fanservice and visuals
its an experience
minimal dev time, maximum profit

>>533194537
This desu

>Valve is done with hardware, i'm convinced.

i will straight up kill myself if this happens and i say this as a gacha player

STOP
FUCKING
CRYING
AND BEGGING THE RETARDED SOULESS CORPORATIONS TO SAVE VR

If you want to save vr, start making your own software. This is the only way.

>>533194679
Anon is dumb and doesn't understand the big selling point of the Deckard is aiming to be able to play flat games on a giant screen in a portable factor, so it necessitates a a standalone aspect.

>>533195027
>monitor replacement
hahahahahaha

>>533195027
Did you know Meta released a Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition
?

>>533194925
>more literally who indi shit will save pcvr
im sure all those other devs with 2 concurrent players thought this too, but you're right maybe it will work this time!

Perfect VR headset can release tomorrow for $100 and the only people who will benefit are mentally ill freaks who goon in vrc.
Hardware is easy, always was. But without proper software, even the perfect hardware is nothing but a fancy paperweight.
And I just don't currently see how we can solve the software problem.

If you actually care about vr, this is what you should be worrying about.

>>533195989
name the kind of software you want mr easy hardware

>>533195796
>more literally who indi shit will save pcvr
This is unironically the only chance we have. Software created by people who are invested in vr because they care about it, not because they love money and it's just yet enough grift.

>>533196264
We shouldn't talk about it, we should be making stuff. Words are cheap.

>>533196513
what kind of stuff

>>533196327
Anon you're describing nearly everything that exists for pcvr right now, they're clearly not doing it for the money because everyone knows that if you like sales you dev for quest. You've overdosed on hopium.

I hate fags

oh no, anyway

>>533196542
imagine early internet, but in 3d, with extremely fast internet connection and supercomputers at home

>>533196647
not good enough. and pcvr is fucking dead

>>533196784
so another unity scene viewer equivalent piece of software?

vrc is currently the cancer of vr
centralization like that just shouldn't be a thing
the more this tumor grows, the harder it will be to remove

but I don't believe something like vrchat but free is also the solution
a different mindset is needed

>>533197110
https://basisvr.org/

>>533196784
>not good enough
>pcvr is dead
yes that's what i'm saying. you're not going to get serious games on the phone processer. If it were possible it would have happened by now.

Currently, we are trying to port flatshit into vr.
This is happening only because we just don't know any better.
Everything needs to be vr first and foremost, otherwise there is no point

>>533195563
Do you think Microsoft is above trying to steal Valve's homework on market research?

>>533197195
read the whole post
>but I don't believe something like vrchat but free is also the solution

>>533197607
>does not elaborate on what they actually want
you are unappeasable and just blabbering into the void

>>533197195
anyone tried basis recently? I keep meaning to go to the playtests but i forgor

>>533197318
you are not going to get games from multibillion corporation either
even valve forgot how to make good games

>>533197708
why you are trying to "appease" me by linking yet another unity scene viewer?
I'm telling you, a fundamentally different approach is need, i'm just thinking out loud because I must not absolutely sure what it would look like
at best I'm currently able to grasp certain rules which need to be followed, one of which is vr focus on a fundamental level, rather that a "port" of flatshit mentality

>>533197550
Not sure why you ask. Can tell you from an unboxing video that the Xbox Edition looks great...though has fresnel lenses.

>>533198359
>asks for old web but vr
>doesn't want what is basically that
>doesn't elaborate on what they actually want said approach to be, just that it needs to be "le different!"
fuck off retard you're smoking weed or something and aren't actually throwing out tangible thoughts here

>>asks for old web but vr
way to completely miss the point

>>533196904
NTA but something like gmod would be a good platform. Dial in the physics, netcode, exc and give people tools to make games on top of that. I'm imagining something like boner mp mod with less jank and set up pain points. Something like a robust first person vr physics sandbox, but as easy to use as VRC

>>533199116
>Dial in the physics, netcode, exc and give people tools to make games on top of that.
what the fuck do you think the thing i fucking linked you is?
its a fucking framework to do WHATEVER YOU FUCKING WANT IN VR with Unity

>>533198156
nope, but I am super fucking interested!
You can even make your own server, if you choose to.

>do WHATEVER YOU FUCKING WANT IN VR with Unity
>do WHATEVER YOU FUCKING WANT
>with Unity

>>533199405
learn 2 fuckin code monkey or stop being useless

unity and unreal is what destroyed the game industry
that cancer became popular, good games stopped being produced
coincidence?

>>533196784
>imagine early internet, but in 3d
so, vrchat?

>>533199249
>fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!
You didn't link me anything, because that's not me. You're also an illiterate retard who types like a redditor.

>>533200124
since when the spirit of the early internet was centralized garbage using shit engine from multibillion dollar corporation which pushed transgender propaganda?

lets say i refuse to use unity or unreal

how are other engines for vr games

>my shitty unity scene viewer is going to save vr
The fact that so many people unironically think that is one of the biggest problem we currently have.

>>533200784
uhhhhhh source :^)

>>533200784
what do you need the 3rd party engine for?
how does it help exactly?

>>533200784
I've made a couple gamejam VR games in godot 4, and it's pretty usable. It'll definitely hurt you in other ways than unity or unreal, but all the basics are there.

There are some other niche engines like LOVR, but I'm racist against lua so I never tried it.

>>533200784
v-sekai still doesn't exist but that'd be your godot framework

>>533200530
VRChat worlds browser is basically wild west just like old internet. If you ever looked at it you'd know.

>>533201309
it would be good if you didnt talk about things you know nothing about

>>533197195
ok based
it actually looks pretty good
i might attempt making a something with it

>>533199770
>unity and unreal is what destroyed the game industry
uh actually its the new generations of minority hires and lgbtq centric company pushes that enshittified the developer base
games industry doomday clock has been ticking for a while
just bad timing for VR

>>533201278
I think I can safely file v-sekai under "will never be working". Just like Lavender

>>533201442
it would be a good thing if you stopped being retarded

>>533201864
can you just fuck off, because obviously you are ape who doesn't know how to proper discussion
this thread would unironically be better with your shitty "input"

>>533202125
if you think countless shitty empty worlds with garbage performance are anything like old interenet, in spirit or any other way, you should just shut the fuck up

>>533201720
the v-sekai devs actually do a lot of work upstream on godot itself, like on toon shaders, VRM humanoids, networking, IK, and sandboxed scripting. So it's not a total loss.

I do think it's more likely they'll get "scooped" and somebody draws the rest of the scene viewer owl than v-sekai's own "official" stack actually working. Like all good engine-devs they have a bunch of wacky infrastructure ideas that could all be replaced by something very simple, as long as you're content writing a basic bitch http server talking to postgres, instead of some "elegant" elixir microservice sprawl.

2. the limitation of the possible types of information which can be transmitted in text vs 3d models
3. the nature of hosting and implication of it on the types of available content
4. the fundamental limitations of software, unique homebrew vs centralized cookiecutter engine

just a few things, but you can't even comprehend this basic stuff

you're retarded
anyone can self-host a simple world if they want to keep things basic
or they can host a world with multiple media types and be more modern because guess what, it's not 1995 anymore!
you don't actually know what you're looking for or asking for, you just keep putting out these useless tidbits of what you think le heckin old web was and why we should have it even though we literally can at any moment because nothing about hosting any of that type of content has changed

insane rumblings or your iq is just too low

provide a detailed business plan and exact steps to save vr or shut up, the discussion about gay sex in vr is about to start

>>533208240
>provide a detailed business plan and exact steps to save vr or shut up
this, but unironically
I read that it needs to get better since 5 years. I pressed on "what exactly" there is no answer. Nobody knows what they want because all 50 people using VR want something different.

>>533208587

any flyers in dcs, not sure what we could do though...

>>533173414 (OP)
VRC like games need something like the old internet where you can have not only groups (forums) but sub groups (threads) each with it's own rule sets, and instead of instances hosted by players with people joining via invites and friends, instances are hosted within a group/subgroup tree, and you join either by finding the group/subgroup your self, or using an old fashion link.

Group trees should a great deal of freedom to be set up/configured how they like. (Centralized/decentralized, requiring authentication/Free access, anonymous/non-anonymous, moderated/unmoderated, ect.)

Thinking about it, someone who started their VR around Quest era would never believe that this was the entirety of oculus headset config software at some point

what does the gender option do

>>533211839
DON'T CHANGE IT

"I had a look in the Rift code and the gender value is used to help better calculate the user’s eye height for the game’s POV cameras: evidently the distance from the top of the head (player height) to the eyes is different on average for males and females. It is up to each program using the Rift whether or not it uses this information from the configuration utility’s user profile"

Take all of the Index's technology and put all resources into making that tier of PC VR dirt fucking cheap.
The problem with Full body VR isn't the willingness of people to put all the gear on and have a cable attached to them.
It's HOW MUCH IT FUCKING COSTS.

Full body PC VR more accessible + PC VR games that make the most of that full body experience

Otherwise just fucking cope and accept that standalone VR aimed at children is the future of VR.
Just accept it. It is what it is.

Valve should have made a PC VR multiplayer game.

have you tried increasing revenue

VR without full body is like a controller without analog sticks or triggers. There were plenty of games, fantastic games that were made before we had those in games. But the body is the controller. That's the whole point of VR. Games like Echo VR or Gorilla Tag or understand that. When you make something that can't be replicated in flat. Eye tracking navigation will smooth over a lot of things in the coming year, but it isn't enough on it's own

>>533213709
>>making that tier of PC VR dirt fucking cheap.
>brown take
>>It's HOW MUCH IT FUCKING COSTS.
>brown
enjoy your entirely dead niche hobby you gigantic retard

>we need to keep it as exclusive as possible
yea ok some how make it the norm for VR PC games that make the most of the full body experience to be $200 and still capture a majority of the "white" VR gamers with legitimate sales and you may get the developers to actually build and release those high quality immersive full body VR PC games

>>533214432
>VR without full body is like a controller without analog sticks or triggers.
I disagree. Lower body is useless if you think about it.
You need artificial locomotion. It's a must, like it's fundamentally impossible to skip no matter how you cope. Virtual spaces are simply unpredictable by nature, you can have the biggest playspace in the world or the best treadmill, but the moment you encounter stairs or a cliff - it's over, you are back to needed artificial locomotion.
And if you are doing artificial loco, lower body tracking just gets in the way.

>>533214539
If you weren't a brown poorfag you would have understood that the price was never the problem.
It's the absolute basics, not even arguing this stuff. Just look at the quest lineup and spend 5 minutes thinking.

>>533215463
I've had full body since 2018 and I can see i'm actually arguing with a retard so here I go fucking off out of the """VR""" thread to do anything better with the rest of my day.

As a Game Developer I see this I am going to make slop game for the slop loving big pink bar and not a high effort high production game for the elitist never satisfied small purple bar.
That's my entire argument.
You need to increase the size of the purple bar for game dev's to give a shit.
Games are a lot of time and effort and you want a good chance for it to pay off.

The fact that I have to explain this to you makes you retarded.
The fact I didn't just give up when you broke the entire discussion down into "brown person white person" like a fucking child makes me a retard.
Enjoy your dead as dogshit niche hobby until the pink bar headsets get compute power and body tracking solutions good enough the dev's making pink bar games just start making games that make use of that compute power and full body tracking.

>>533226265
I thought you said you are leaving, gorilla nigger? Why are you still here?
The fact that you unironically melted when I jokingly called you brown says everything.
Let me explain it you, my melanin enriched friend, the number of headset doesn't matter if most of them are collecting dust in the attic.
Facebook themselves said that they have no trouble selling the headsets, but they have extremely big trouble with user retention. People buy the headset, use it for 2 weeks and then never again.
The only way to solve it is by making sure there is new interesting content which keeps people engaged.
Content comes first, the sales will follow. There is a term for that, called "system seller", look it up.

>>533210813
me
i can fly the f18, a10, apache

And before your retarded ass says anything about revenue, go check how much reality lab earns (or better say loses) each quarter.
Let me spoil for you. Pic related.
So what actually happens, is facebook's money from ads on facebook/instagram is getting "reallocated" to artificially simulate the signs of life of "standalone vr". That shit is 100% fake and completely unsustainable.

You looking at that shit and suggesting that we should "do the same but for pcvr", shows clearly how little you actually understand.

Detection is really good. You can just swipe your hand through moves and they'll go off. It's all controller position too so even if your player model hands are jammed in a rock or pushed out of the way by something, as long as your controllers are in the right spot it'll work. Rotation and position matter. This anon isn't rotating his left hand into the right position when he's failing these moves. For hold his left hand should be palm up but it's closer to thumb up. For disc his left hand should be thumb up fingers right but he failed it with his hand knuckles up. There's a lot of lenience to the poses but learning the muscle memory and still managing to engage it while under pressure and tired is pretty hard.

>>533228516
I'm going to make a game for the 6 million active monthly users and hope it becomes a system seller so the other 14 million system owners dust off their headset.
It's as shrimple as that.
If there were 6 million active steamVR users and 14 million waiting in the wings for something worth dusting the headset off and charging the trackers I might consider them instead. But there isn't and so I won't.
And that's why quest has more games and users and every pc vr game worth anything has focused on quest instead.

Simplest obvious solution I can think of is make pc vr and full body tracking as cheap and accessible as standalone.

If every high end pc owner had a vr headset that had some kind of full body tracking the same they have a high end gaming monitor then I don't think we would be having this discussion.
Someone with a major interest in the success of pcc vr either needs to make the cheap headsets or needs to make the system seller.

I as an individual gamedev have a major interest in the success of my product.
Just like every other individual, small, medium and large sized game development studio.

And so I choose the big pink bar.

Good luck, bro. The indie devs were able to make some money like that. Two years ago. Now the zucc controlled store is only advertising the free horizon world garbage and the devs, who previously were feeling pretty good, are sucking their thumbs.
>Simplest obvious solution I can think of is make pc vr and full body tracking as cheap and accessible as standalone.
It's not the solution. Full body is a also a meme, I explained to you why previously. You didn't refute any argument I brought up and just keep repeating "full body, full body" like it's a mantra.
>either needs to make the cheap headsets
cheap headsets without content are fancy paperweight, can you please understand this simple fact.
you can give them away for literally free, nobody is going to use them if you have no content. quest lineup proved that beyond any reasonable doubt.
>I as an individual gamedev have a major interest in the success of my product.
If you main concern is making money and not making art, you are not going to create anything of value. Unfortunately, that's just how it works.
99.9% of devs who are chasing money end up producing soulless trash and make nothing.

Not him but designing affordable PCVR is not the same as burning money to dump the market with unprofitable devices.
Last thread someone said Lighthouse was a dead platform. Well, I have an Index with two base stations and just yesterday I've played several hours without realizing one station was completely blocked off by clothes hanging from the hanger. I was perfectly fine running on just one station for hours, which is like $200 off the original price of the kit. Now, base stations are actually cheap to make, but they are sold by greedy HTC (and Valve who are bound to them by some kind of agreement) at an insane price because there's no real alternative to them. Which means a new manufacturer who manages to produce cheaper base stations still compatible with SteamVR devices would bite off a large market share off these shameless monopolists. And this is only one of possible ways to make PCVR more affordable, but ideally it should be a whole new kit designed with affordability in mind, while still being profitable enough to produce.

Good visuals and an immersive experience is part of what makes PC VR have higher retention.
Full body tracking and tracking capable of immersivr full body is a key part of why PC VR has a higher percentage of user retention.

>makes PC VR have higher retention.
according to who? you just made this up
>Full body tracking and tracking capable of immersivr full body is a key part of why PC VR has a higher percentage of user retention.
lol. it's like that because "it's just is"

The fact that he has full body from 2018 should have made it obvious that he is just a vrc erp gooner.

I unironically think standalone VR has tremendous potential but is seriously held back by how shit the ecosystem and software is. There isn't a good hardware reason why FBT can't work with standalone and a set of 6 to 8 slime clones costs just a few hundred dollars. Also right it pisses me off that developing VR games natively on VR hardware is just not feasible because all the software is so shit, even with a blue tooth mouse and keyboard. It'd be really fun to do VR game jams if it wasn't the song and dance and taking off and putting on the headset all the time, trying to figure out how to side load apps, and ultimately giving up and making a flat game instead.

How hostile is this thread to women joining lobbies. I have a female friend (biological) interested in the occasional mahjong meetups.

It's perfectly alright in small purpose-oriented instances. In social ones, like friday drinks, it quickly turns into a mix of unsolicited orbiting and people being defensive. Through history, we had multiple women around here who fit in like a glove, but we also had multiple schizo women who clearly came over for no other reason than receiving attention, so there's some stigma to break through.

HaritoraX and Mocopi do work natively with standalone with their phone app. It is BT device, you just need software to connect and use it.

>>533241898
>you just need software to connect and use it
that's my point: it's always through a phone app or through a PC because the native software scene sucks bad when it both doesn't have to and really shouldn't.

The delusional sperg rage in this thread because companies don't want to subsidize those nerd toys that are used by 5 people in the end is hilarious.

Reality Labs is an R&D development encompassing the AR development and all their prototypes, they're pushing the tech in every direction so that's why their expenses are so much. They don't plan for it to be profitable until the mid-30s.

Tell me about it. In jp instances I see cute avatars all the time, but in the thread events most people are dressed like sluts.

>>533252705
Cute don't give you the attention that lewd gives. So you either accept you won't get as much attention, or make your avatar lewder.

You should bear in mind that most people actually dress relatively modestly.

>>533268743
How old a game has to be to become retro?

>>533269424
Games don't become retro over time, retro in the correct context refers to a specific time period in gaming (70s-90s usually)

But a lot of people are under the impression anything gaming related over 20 years old is retro and retro is a constantly growing and evolving list.

>>533270443
Also slight correction, anything before 2001 is I guess considered retro gaming as well according to /vr/

>>>/vr/11702620

So basically even if you don't believe that retro is just a specific time period, the console or game would have to be like over 20 years old by most people's definitions.
Virtual reality definitely doesn't have any retro games yet unless we're talking Nintendo Virtualboy type of shit.

If you don't have a phone, you're unable to even set up a Quest, and offloading the processing for the FBT to the phone allows them to not spend the Quest's. It's unironically fine as a solution.

>You should bear in mind that most people actually dress relatively modestly.

>implying

Let's look at this picture for example >>533229573. You have 2 that are actually looking modest-ish with the schoolgirl on the left and the meme avatar on the cat's head, 2 that are at least excusable because they're wearing workout clothes in back left and back right which are normally revealing, and the sundress behind the TDA that is way too short but seems to be wearing spats. That's at absolute best half the instance, and that is still far from typical.

You are implying the Quest has momentum. Any positive growth statistic in the context of VR or standalone is incredibly dishonest, using metrics like "total units sold" and not "units sold this year".

Valve isn't done with hardware but they're not going to really achieve anything.
>>533194663
VR game design isn't sufficiently explored to aggressively min-max engagement.

>>533194925
Trying to save VR is retarded. The best you can do is make cool stuff, which is valuable, but you can not truly cover for the retardation that is Facebook, PlayStation, or Valve.

I agree, make stuff independent on market hype and trends. But understand VR will be niche for the next 10 years.

I'd been waiting around to play it hoping that'd get fixed, but doesn't seem like that's ever happening at this point, so I'll have to try it out soon.

I gave cyberpunk a shot for 20hrs but it's really mediocre. I can cope with the keyboard and mouse gameplay but the technique he uses for alternate frame rendering is absolute dogshit. Blurry mess with a permanent ghosting halo around everything.
Skyrim with the VR mods is really nice though. Sank 100hrs in a normal game + another 90 in Enderal VR.

>Does anyone play Skyrim with Mods?
I played and I had a lot of fun.
I installed a mod that makes the map an in-game item, so you can navigate by using landmarks and roads, like it is with ITR. The issue with that is that Bethesda basically made floating markers mandatory by not giving you directions in the quest descriptions.

Good photos, thank (You) again for coming over!
on the one hand, it's a shame that people got scared off, but on the upside, it was properly cozy in a small group

>>533306458
So it's not just me, I have a 4090 and it frustrated me how you can get a hint of incredible immersion with the scale of things, but it's still too blurry to be enjoyable. Wish someone autistic enough would make a proper mod. Low-Fi is dead in the water, so I think the closest thing we'll get to impressive cyberpunk settings in VR are just VRC maps

whenever someone tries to take a pic of me, my head disappears on their camera at certain angles, which setting in unity can I fix this with?

>>533317231
that's a very weird issue, sounds like some kind of occlusion culling but I'm not sure if VRC even does that for avatars. Is your head+hair running entirely on transparent materials?

my first guess would be to reduce breast size so head is still visible even if you're looking at the avatar from below

>>533317231

It happens because when you move in FBT your meshes can leave their automatically generated bounding boxes.

Select all your skinned mesh game objects and enter new numbers to update all your bounding boxes at once.

Alternatively, adding any VRCFury component to your avatar will automatically apply their entire list of checks/fixes, one of which will repair your bounding boxes.

>>533318339
thanks i'll look into the bounding box later

Is there a fix to my eyes not remaining lined up with my avatar's eyes when I sit down? I've more or less fixed the viewball as best I can from the default of the model, but it's ending up in with my eyes in my collar bone when I sit down for some reason.

>>533319615
I had this issue and it got pretty much entirely resolved once I started using chest tracker, but I've no doubts it can be fixed with folding the armature a slightly different way

>>533319876
I've already got a chest strap that someone got me by accident, maybe I'll just get another tracker instead of fucking around in Unity and Blender.

>>533319615

I'd suggest installing a teleportation system in your avatar. This will allow always being able to get a late joiner in a big world.

Process is:
1) you drop exit portal where you are right now
2) respawn then drop enter portal
3) new joiner copies your avatar
4) new joiner drops enter portal at spawn
5) new joiner enters through your enter portal
6) new joiner exits then drops his exit portal where you once were
7) you now enter the new joiner's enter portal
8) exit now both of you are where you once were

Here's a free one

Trying to talk someone who hasn't spent five years in VRChat sounds like torture, and most large worlds overwrite your respawn point several times as you progress.

I can see that it would be possible to add an avatar gimmick that lets you world-drop and late-sync a portal that will teleport a player to your avatar but I don't know if anyone has built something like that yet.

I ran out of motivation to keep trying to fix my avatar. I wanted to have it finished three months ago...

>>533343518
Did you try to have sex with the avatar yet? That should reset your motivation by giving you a bit of reward for your previous efforts

Friendly reminder that there's NA Walkabout Mini Golf tomorrow night at 10PM ET (in ~23h), hope to see you there.

need a good standalone vr player (since zucc caught my ass trying to pirate 4xvr)

Decided to get some more practice with LTCGI and LVs

>>533347201
Looks breddy cool

>>533323152
>>533341965

>>533347201
Have you tried using LVs as a LTCGI alternative, I know it's doable with VizVid rather easily especially with their latest commits + VRCLV 2.0.

Definitely worth trying out if you haven't yet since LVs are very performant and it requires no baking or setup to get it working.

Also very cool looking world!!

>>533347864
>Have you tried using LVs as a LTCGI alternative
I have kinda but the important part of using baked diffuse for LTCGI is these really nice shadowed areas for the reflections

I assume you are talking about the new area light feature though and those should only really be used if you need the light to be moveable

I have seen grabable video players not a bad idea to try it with that

>>533349241
Yeah I just realized how LTCGI does it in the screenshot above, that definitely looks better and cleaner than how the area light from LV does it.

I prefer the area light approach since the world I've put it in a lot more minimalist looking and it's just cool to have the light reflect around the screen and on avatars at a minimal cost!

But I do agree that in this case, LTCGI is a much better choice and looks a lot nicer overall.

I've been using the vizvid light volume, it's a good performant alternative to ltcgi, but it seems like the emission intensity/screen brightness relationship curve is weird. Bright scenes make the emissions very bright and lights up everything, but anything below that threshold is too dark, almost black even. Any tips on how I could fix this? Or is this just the way it is for now

>>533323152
thanks for coming fremds
see you on sunday for more death note, puniru, and dandadan

>>533352096
Wait, you guys aren't watching Takopii?

>>533351952
VizVid screen shader is a bit weird and from looking around it seems like the emission set to "1" is just too bright? Even their test world does that. I've personally set it to "0.5" by default and it looks a lot nicer and not just blown up. I also have the area light set to a much lower amount in the brighter scene I have it in otherwise it just looks way too bright in there compared to in a darker scene.

I want to make a VR game

I have an idea for the game and know nothing about game development or coding

Should I use unity or unreal and am i wasting my time

>>533352158
Almost picked it up, but ruri won out, which has been great too though, no complaints. We might still fit it in somewhere since it's only six episodes
>>533352178
>it seems like the emission set to "1" is just too bright?
I have it set to three. The bright scenes look good to me, they're very bright but it's not too much, but even with it set to three all the scenes below what I would estimate to be 75% brightness is too dark, and anything below like 50% is black with no visible emissions. Could be related to using it on a larger scene with a big screen maybe

>>533352695
>We might still fit it in somewhere since it's only six episodes
Nice. Definitely take the time if you manage to slot it in. I sincerely believe it's a generational anime that should be watched by kids, teenagers and under-developed adults before they make kids of their own.

It can help fix the world or at least point it at a better direction.

>>533352695
Oh, and by "scenes" I meant in whatever's playing on the screen, not the scene in the world.

>>533352585
If you know nothing, you should totally go with Unity. Unity beginner course and Creating with VR course should get you going. It's still going to be 2-3 months before you can actually start working on your idea, if you manage to keep interested in it after this much time, good for you.

Can you guys post some of your examples of vizvids im curious now

>>533353182
>to keep interested
*to stay interested

>>533353218
>>533352695
upon some testing we did in the world just now, it almost seems like the emissions just sample a vertical line in the center of the screen. Very strange way to do it, I hope the developer of it improves it in the future

>>533353506
I don't think we're talking about the same emission here, I'm specifically talking about the "Emission Intensity" on the material/shader of the screen itself that I have set to 0.5, not the "emitted" light.

>>533353506
fyi this is what settings I'm using on the "area light" LV used by the screen.

Not sure if this has been released yet but VizVid got new commits recently on their github repo where you they added a button (to the right click menu) that automatically create an area light volume for a specified screen.

>>533353741
Ah, I didn't think to look in the material settings. I thought you meant the intensity in the light volume component for the screen. I'll try messing with that setting next, thanks for the tip
>>533353927
Yeah, the one click setup is in the current release. It was very convenient

>>533354039
No worries, definitely confusing with all the different terms from multiple different components mixed together, anyways yeah I'd definitely recommend trying the emission set to 0.5 on the screen material, when I had it set to 1.0 everything just looked way too bright on the screen itself

Anybof you guys done mocap for VR stuff?
I was considering getting a set of SlimeVR to use with my Pico4 for full-body tracking and animation..

I've seen a few apps, Mega Mocap (UE) and Mocap Fusion (Blender) amd I'm curious if anyone here has tried them

>>533381032
I've seen a few friends who use mocap. But honestly the best for FBT is still vive trackers.

>>533381032
>pico4
Use the pico trackers, not slimes. The main downside of the pico trackers is you need a pico headset, but that's already fine.

>>533381032
Mocap Fusion you can export to multiple format it's not limited to blender. It's also free even for commercial projects if you credit them.

>>533314072
Might be a good idea to go on a big world on one week and small worlds on the next.

>>533381032
>Slime
>Pico4
Buy pico trackers, retard. 3 or 5, next update adds elbow tracking

>>533381032
There are even prefabs for vrchat, which you can add in a world to record avatar bone positions into logs which you can then import to unity.

>>533381032
>Anybof you guys done mocap for VR stuff?
Yes, for few dance videos we used this: https://github.com/mukaderabbit/mukaderabbit-HyakuashiUdonMotionRecorder-HUMR-
It saves motion data within the VRChat logs, and you can then import them using a unity script (and probably can use these animation files in other software like blender and sorts, but I only ever used it within unity so unsure)
SlimeVR makes no sense to get if you have a pico since the pico trackers are easier to get and synchronize. It depends what you want to record with them however, since I find them pretty lacking in precision compared to vive trackers

>>533384094
That looks way better than shadermotion...

>"buy pico"
>"retard"

>>533381032
slime will do it, and give you the most bang for your buck, but you need a lot of trackers and fiddling for it to not suck. smols from a discord vendor will get your dollar further than official slimes, but there's a hard cap on the number of trackers for the dongle and the tracking quality can be slightly worse.
vive's quality for mocap is on another level, if you're serious about it and can afford it don't cut corners.
would really only recommend doing this if you already have an existing animation pipeline and spend a decent amount of your free time making 3D shit.
if you're just getting trackers to dance or be a trashfag you don't need more than ~6-8. the more you have the more of a pain in the ass it becomes to get into vr

SlimeVR otoh is like $190 for 5 on CrowdSupply... That's why I'm considering them.

Is VR worth it?
Was told Subnautica is amazing with it and that Air sims, Moss and some shooter games are fun but I fear it will be one of those use once and forget peripherals at home.
Give me your honest opinions anons with or without buyer's remorse.

>>533388742
Tried some mods like being able to control the ducks when you're dead but eventually it crashes the game. Not tried anything new yet and no one showed interest to play the game here.

>>533389932
If you see yourself playing hundreds of hours of shooters or sim racers (or truck sims) then it's worth it. Elsewise there's about 400 hours or so of actual games you can chew through. If the idea of actually being inside the game doesn't appeal to you then you can probably skip it.
For me I don't regret it at all and I basically only play VR games now since flat shooters are just uninteresting to me now. I've been spoiled.

OR if you see yourself wanting to be an anime girl in VR then it's definitely worth it

>>533389932
Are you a gay, lonely man in your late 20s to late 30s?

If you could answer 3/5 questions with YES you were born for VR

>>533389932
I like videogame and played tons of native vr + vr mods for flat games and I easily got 3000+ hrs out of it.
It's hard to feel regret when it cost me 400 bucks (300 base + accessories).

Pico is superior to quest but zucced users with buyers remorse will never admit it

>>533384527
Pico trackers are better than slime, cheaper than slime, comfier than slime and are completely hasle free unlike slime. Never recommend slime to pico user.

Vive tracker beats both in accuracy but with non lh tracked headset there is some calibration hassle.

>>533389932

>>533388843
Even with just a pair it tracks full body, even hip wiggle quite well. Adding waist and elbows will increase accuracy.

Right now pico supports 2 or 3 tracker configuration and in some near future it will support 5 for additional knee or elbow accuracy.

Subnautica is the only one that intrigues me. Maybe to let my gf play it since she loves watching it. Never was big on Air sims but Snow/Mudrunner seemed fun. But again, buying basically a console for 2-3 good VR games. Subnautica, some truck game, go through AlexVR once and then what?

What is the emotion and what did you feel first time you jumped from flat to VR?
And how is the movement? On videos it looks very weird either floating or teleporting.

bait used to be believable

>>533392478
my obscene collection of images like this from the early 2010s proves that entire point wrong.

Browse steam popular releases at least nigger. But just to spoonfeed you: Boneworks, Wanderer, Walking dead: saints and sinners 1/2, metro awakening, batman (quest only), resident evil 4 (qeust only), vertigo 1/2, into the radius, budget cuts ultimate, Vampire the Masquerade: Justice, Gorn 1/2, Barbaria, Derail Valley, Stilt, No more rainbows, the last clockwinder and tonnes more

>>533390302
This except being an anime girl is never worth it except if you are a biological female.

>>533397096
Being an anime girl is the least appealing for biofems since they're giving away every social advantage and have to compete for attention and affection with their personality instead. Nothing could be harder for them.

>>533397189
Yet they don't have to try just to seem feminine. Probably not that much harder or else equally as easy.

>>533394150
I see. Its not like I will have to agree with her on the budget but always better if its something she can enjoy too.
>>533394242
Appreciate the mod list and the spoonfeeding, even if its already in the OP most of it.

Also holy shit, just noticed Elite is there. Thanks again.


I am guessing according to OP
>Headset Selection: https://rentry.org/vrgheadsets
Quest 3 then? Or would it be better to go to one of those VR activities and test them and see which one is best?

>>533398163
Q3 is best entry level. You get meta'd but it's not that bad since it's a special meta account and you can basically just activate it with an account then block it off from calling home after that.

>>533398163
Quest 3 is basically the go-to recommendation for anyone new to VR.
You could downgrade to a Quest 3S if you really aren't sure if you're going to like VR and want to spend less, but it's going to be a worse visual experience with lower resolution and worse lenses.

>>533317209
>>533306458
I used to hate Luke Ross's mods, but with the right settings it can look decent.
The main thing is turning on HAGS, turning off that shitty deblur filter he sets on by default, and figuring out the right hz to set your headset to in accordance to his 1/2 or 1/3 rendering.
Oh, and never use kbm. You need to use the controller and to set the turning speed as low as possible to avoid artifacts. Ideally, you want to turn with your head.

New map is coming along

>>533389932
Yes it's worth it. For the first few months I was convinced everything in VR felt completely real. Just for that, I am 100% sure that those $400 dollars were worth it. And even when I got over my honeymoon phase, I am still much more immersed and invested with the headset on. I missed out on most of the popular games of the past decade, and I've been slowly going through all of the ones with a VR mod.

You don't need a couple grand to try out VR but if you decide to go really deep into it then it is easily starting at several thousans dollars

>>533403909
A better way to say that every headset that is definitively better than the Q3 is at least nearly twice the price

Are we gaming something today?

The Ancient Dungeon VR mage book update has been released.
I am gonna see if I instantly crash and if not, EU lobby in 30 minutes.

>>533398163
Quest 3 or Pico 4 if you want more freedom and good cheap fbt (you will want it eventually). Also battery pack, minion router, better facial interface...

>>533405185
My apologies for the delay, no crashes thus far.
Lobby is up, code is RAGE.

>>533398163
quest 3 (not the 3s) is the best overall package. Higher end headsets cost 2 to 5 times the price and are also more specialized for specific kinds of play.

a quest, a set of slime clones, a vrc avatar, and some games to play will total to less than a thousand dollars

>>533409304
If you want to unlock the tome without discovering it, go to your AppData/LocalLow/ErThu/AncientDungeon folder and open the newest AncientSave file with Notepad and look for the entry "story_tome" and set that to true.

I'm itching for some friday shooty games too. I want to do the MW2 mod on contractors I think.

Or if the EU pavlov hosts can post their config and maps, I can run it on the NA pavlov server. NA pavlov config is kind of broken currently; the M203 grenades don't work and the EU map selection is better.

I run a little bash script which shuffles maps around so you'll have to do that manually or something I dunno
It uses a bag shuffle so all the maps are put into a 'bag' and this bag is pulled from 5 at a time until empty, and those 5 are each week's selection.

I use the older version and like that, but with anything I can only recommend you pay for whatever is within your means and won't break the bank

>>533447709
the fan is a complete fucking meme but the +4 hours to q3 battery life is great considering how pathetic the normal life is. Headstrap's good too.

hello anons, just got my meta quest 3 secondhand a month ago from a guy in a small town. didnt use it much first 3 weeks, been having fun messing around in this ww2 german arsenal world in VRC killing furries and kids kamikaze style. is there more to VRC than the worlds we see in the world browser, maybe some hidden worlds? also recommend me some games, refunded bonelab since i thought it's not worth the full price considering it's just a sandbox game.

met some cool EU people in VRC. i find it odd that americans are calling germans niggers in the game whenever these germans emphasize they dont tolerate nazi stuff. what's the deal with people who fucking sleep in VR alone?

>>533430517
This would mean more optimized avatar interaction with worlds. If this is also contacts even better.

bsb2e eyetracking beta utility is available now apparently
seems like they're using an offloaded online training token with a ratelimit to produce a per-user trained model that you load afterwards
this is their implementation that you'd use rather than Babble or ETVR so hoping to see people demonstrate it soon with the first units going out
can't wait to get my day 0 beta tester special order a month+ from now!

contractors looks very interesting, worth full price? any other games with movement gameplay that's not gorilla tag?

>>533451615
Contractors might be one of the games most worth the full price of $20. There are multiple cool mods, modern warfare just came out. Star Wars battlefront is a favorite too

>>533451615
if you mean games based around movement, jet island is pretty fun

>>533451615
Contractors is fun though it's not really a game about movement. The gunplay is decent and the mods are some of the best I've seen from a VR fps game

>>533451615
>movement gameplay
there is no more rainbows which is pretty much single player gorilla tag where you kill faggots

>>533451615
>contractors looks very interesting, worth full price?
It's pretty good and has a decent sized playerbase, apparently $17 at Fanatical right now too.
>any other games with movement gameplay that's not gorilla tag?
It's a different kind of movement gameplay, but seconding Jet Island.
Would recommend Sprint Vector too if it wasn't dead.

thank you vrganons, definitely getting contractors now. should i buy any addons to enhance vr games? they have those full body tracking things ive seen used in vrchat. there's this korean "girl" (who obviously used voice changer) that recommended me something called slimeVR, checked it out, looks a bit shady and cheap. any inputs?

>>533455979
>slimeVR
no thats gay and made by trannies
virtual desktop lets you emulate valve trackers and you get somewhat accurate upper body tracking with the quest 3
no leg tracking tho

>>533455979
It's not shady, but they're just nowhere near as good as Vive trackers. From other anons I've seen using them, the tracking looks decent enough for the price, but I'd wait for an opinion from one of them.

>>533455979
SlimeVR works well enough if you do the research to buy ones with the better IMUs instead of the dirt cheapest, and as was recommended earlier in this thread, look at the community marketplace for makers, or solder your own, instead of ordering the Slime(tm) Slime trackers. Not really worth it for gaming, but having FBT helps make with immersion for VRC.

>>533455979
slimevr are cheap but the shipping takes forever. tracking is mediocre but far better than you'll get with a webcam.
there are a lot of companies that make cross-compatible slime clones that have far better tracking and ship faster
do your homework before buying trackers as it's easy to overpay and/or end up with shit

I bought some no-name japanese trackers that use external batteries and have 144 Hz tracker updates. They are picky about batteries, the dongle has a bit of a shitty antenna, but once it's all set up and calibrated the tracking is so great until once of the tracker belts slips down my leg and the entire system needs to be calibrated again and the software has a vtuber mode too

you can also get finger tracking btw just have to enable it in the quest 3
works pretty well in vrc if you have a human avatar or use the setting that gives you normal hands instead of your avatars hands

I had an overwhelming urge to really get into VR again today.
Finally bought an old Vive with everything included for $180.
The biggest game I had considered getting a headset for was Skyrim, and by some odd coincidence, it's on sale for 75% off right now.

What are some other essential games I'll need? My PC is high spec, so that won't be an issue.

Into the Radius, Alyx, HL2VR, Boneworks, Pavlov, Project Wingman if you can run it, maybe Blade and Sorcery so you can experience actual fun swordfights. And, of course, join us in endless VRC fun. There's lots of other good vidya you'll surely go through as the time goes, take it easy.

I wanna do MW2 contractors mod for EU friday shooty, aka today. Can you link the mod?

>>533488743
Yea, i mean, I assume anon is smart enough to drop it if he feels bad in game. I think it's worth a shot, it has mysterious atmosphere, fun physics/VR-interaction puzzles, surprisingly alright post-game content thanks to collectibles and unlockable special game mods, and then some absolute bangers in OST on top of that.

I never had any motion sickness except for a very early Alien game in DK2 times that was rendered ever so slightly sideways all the time, but I remember that boneworks gave me a weird hyperawareness of my arms' position in real life. Got them stuck against random shit in game often enough to start watching out IRL afterwards, kek. One way or another, this is a fair point, this game sure doesn't bother with comfort and safety

hello anon! today is Friday which means time for yet another UNFF. today's session will be graciously hosted by someone else as I am at least a thousand kilometers away from my VR setup. hope to see you all at 19:00 UTC as always, cheers!

do any of you anons who bought FBT end up using them all the time or not? im on UK doing my studies but will be back to my shitty 3rd world country next month, so i wont have the time to buy these FBT right after that time, and now im reluctant with the idea because of all the anons inputs and the prices.

>>533496569
Depends how much VRC you play. Or dance dash I suppose. For me, every single VRC hour is with FBT since I got them. Well excepting like a couple minutes of avatar testing or world testing.
Dance dash also supports FBT and is the other major use of your trackers. Well I say major use but it's a reasonably fun game that is re-playable nearly indefinitely since you can treat it as exercise. I had to stop playing it because I was shaking my headset apart (the repeated hopping was actually causing mechanical strain on my headset) and couldn't be bothered to buy a quest 2 or something just for one game.

>>533496569
If you can afford them, the convenience of vives is much better. Once you have your base station set up, you can just have to turn them on and they work. Good straps are very important and it's easy to diy some for 3+ vives

>>533496907(me)
Because of that convenience, it's trivial for me to put them on every time in VRC. Forgot to answer the main question

>>533496569
I don't play VRChat without them. Imagine you have been stuck in a wheelchair and were finally able to walk again. Would you after some time just go back to the wheelchair because walking is too much effort?

>>533496797
>>533496907
thank you for the input anons, i think i'll stick with no FBT. i'll lurk around here to see if anons will talk about some cool new vr shit and if theres some vrg meetup for anons or smth

>cool new vr shit

>if theres some vrg meetup for anons
Likely, eg UNFF above

>>533497339
In terms of meet ups off the top of my head for EU hours:
Volleyball followed by mahjong on Mondays.
Movies and Pavlov on Tuesdays.
Bocce, Pypy dancing and photography on Wednesdays.
LOCO on Thursdays which is a general hangout instances.
UNFF on Fridays which is a hangout instance.
There's also a longer volleyball instance than the one hosted on Monday but it seems it seems to flip around being on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
World Exploration on Sundays, technically SEA but it's like mid day roughly for EU hours.

how do i get a cute avatar in vrc

I was searching for the new headphones, because I got sick and tired of using shitty wired IEM's, and end up buying Pulse Elite after doing some research.
Here's a mini review.

Pros:
>magnetic planar drivers are actually good
>supports wired audio input through 3.5 jack
>dedicated 2.4ghz dongle has extremely good audio latency
I tested it out by
1) using the audio jack on the headset while wirelessly streaming vs pulse connected to the usb dongle (pulse won noticeably)
2) using the audio jack on the pc vs pulse connected to the dongle (basically a draw)
You can improve the latency even further by using WASAPI exclusive mode.
I was able to push it to sub 512 samples, it works 3-4 minutes, but then the audio gets fucked and the only way to fix that it's to reinitialize the audio interface, two clicks in reaper/voicemeter, but still annoying.

>>533506283
Short answer:
Custom/modifiable one:
Boothplorer.com -> Unity project -> Upload

Publicly/shared one:
Avatar search world -> look for one -> use it

>>533506336
>You can improve the latency even further by using WASAPI exclusive mode.
How do I do this?

>>533506456
woah thanks anon

>>533506336

Cons:
>the comfort is dogshit, the headband is just too small
>a bit hard to use bobovr strap (but doable), impossible with psvr2
The headband ended up snapping after a month, picrelated (the pic is not mine).

Good news is that after disassembling the headset I found that the design lands itself very well to DIY mods. The upper headband only houses a single wire, all the electronics and the battery are in the caps.
The screws the headset uses are also in a very fortunate positions and have good head shapes.
I think I'm just going to 3d print a new headband specifically for my head shape. I will report on that later.

>>533506706
Pretty sure, the software needs to support it. Most DAWs do, same with most half-decent audio/video players (foobar2000 and mpc-hc both do).
But be aware that you lose the convenience of the default OS mixer, so you can only listen to one audio source at the same time.
