Developer Update - 10 August 2022

Freezeframe? What does that do

Ah, good to know, thanks for the update. :slight_smile:

The camera drone would be super useful for filming skits! I’d like to promote a very old canny post which I feel would help out a lot with filming aswell.

For the showing and hiding of avatars I ended up disabling everyone’s avatars and then I just force show a few every time in a public instance. So I can see the merit in hiding avatar by ID being the most powerful. Saw a kid with a reasonably large 2d avatar, left them explicitly blocked the second time I saw that garage door size avatar come out

Hello,
Is there any word or update on increasing/unlocking the mirror resolution, this was a super inportant feature i’ve wanted since getting a newer vr headset. The current max resolution of the mirror is too low making things blurry. There is a canny and it says internally tracked, but theres been no mention of it so far. I’d love to atleast know its being acknowledged or not.
Thank you!

What are all the cpu affinity launch options
I don’t think most of us know what a bitmask is

Hi there! I really like the changes being implemented to the camera! I would like to suggest an option to hide disabled avatars from the camera instead of having al ot of gray robots, it would make it easier to take pictures in crowded places!

Does this mean VRCX will soon be banned from use?

I feel like it should be a thing, I get what you mean but I mean if the assets are paid then they shouldn’t be made public in the first place. IMO if people are gonna be so worried over paid assets then just, MAKE YOUR AVATAR PRIVATE. There is no need to complain when you as an uploader LITERALLY have the control over what avatar is public and private. I also feel like all the avatars that are already public shouldn’t be changed (unless someone wanted to mess with it (IE. Uploader) and wanted to add stuff to it and it was paid. THEN make it private… That being said… Whether or not assets are paid it reslly just boils down to if the maker of assets is okay with the assets being used for public avatars. I don’t see WHY it would be a BIG deal as public avatars arent the actual thing themselves so it’s not like we are getting the full character’s files. Now, I will say making a PAID avatar public IS wrong, unless you have the demo version thats free. (Like Rex avatars or the Pancake Satan from a FNAF comic) But thats why VRC should only allow PUBLIC avatars to be searched. If avatar search was a thing it would be really easy, granted avatar worlds wouldn’tbe needed but perhaps that could save peoples times?? Granted VRChat should make words like “NSFW” and “Crasher” be removed from the search files (or whatever its called) as people would take advantage of the search engine and be assholes with it. Either way I don’t see a thing wrong with avatar search. (Don’t mention ripping as no matter if the avatar is private or public those things STILL get ripped, speaking from someone who has onlu uploaded private avatars and my OC getting on the store.) Ripping wouldn’t be stopped, so IMO thats not a valid argument as far as assets getting stealed go, if thats something someone wanted to bring up.
Again, if paid assets are on an avatar that’s public, if anything they are doing the creators a favor, because for example: The really cool style hair for the Rexouiums. I didn’t ever hear about it til I saw a PUBLIC avatar have it on them. That’s a paid asset. So are CLOTHES. But using them on models everyone has access to, gives people the opportunity to look it up and try finding it so they can buy it in case they have experience with avatars on unity. So in smaller words, doing this advertises said assets to other people. Now I’m not saying EVERY asset creator allows this, because I know they don’t. I am mainly pointing out that assets isn’t a HUGE problem as (whether or not its public or private) its not like everyone is out to steal the assets of EVERY avatar out there with specifc assets. Not to mention as I said before, if you’re worried about assets getting stolen, (or ripped) being private or public doesn’t exactly stop that. I’m ranting. Come on VRC add avatar search!:heart::heart: Just make the certain words unable to search with (IE. Crasher for example.)

Would be nice if this will be possible, because some of my friends have small and big avatars and when I talk to them I want to have eye-contact. And if it gets implemented I dont need to upload 100 different scales of my avatar and just use the slider witch scales the whole avatar ^^"

This is in regards to the affinity masks.

I’m not sure if I can randomly link pages on the internet as a fairly new member to the forums, but I’m going to take a shot at it. I suspect the devs should have linked something like CPU Affinity Mask Calculator I just tested the page and you can type ffff into the text box “CPU Affinity Bitmask (hex)” and it’ll fill out 0 through 15 in the checkboxes.

I agree, I would like to at least automatically disable the orange status (just like when cloning when changing instances), it’s not difficult to implement, at least it will already improve the situation

Correct, it matches the Windows arguments for the start command.
