It definitely has been awhile since I posted here in the Games blog. I’ve been working on BTD here and there (not as much as most of his bugs have been squished).
But there’s a few that only an MMD world can find (as it uses full body for its dance moves), and laugh at my pathetic attempts to fix something that can only be fixed in Blender (by ‘gluing’ the problem to the actual model, via weight painting and shit like that).
Speaking of MMD worlds, I’m encountering a very strange bug while in VR (but not as much in Desktop). My pessimistic side says it’s probably some kind of ‘anti-shit CPU’ system put in place. 😛 But what happens, is I get stuck in an infinite loop of trying to join the world. Booted out of the last instance, then trying to join a new one.. getting booted out of that instance, trying to rejoin.. etc, etc until I say “FUCK IT!!”
The weird thing is it only affects MMD worlds. Something about them, I can’t join while in VR. But I have had occasions where I’ve been unable to join in Desktop.
…VRC Devs, fix your shit. 😛
Anyway, the bugs I’ve found when I’ve been able to join an MMD world, is basically some of the attachments ‘floating’ when the model controlling my avatar’s movement twists its back or moves their elbows.
I’ve tried everything I know of; parented them to different bones, placed the object further inside the model.. but the issues persist. There’s no way I can fix them without Blender knowledge.
But at least I fixed the eyes (again). This is what they looked like before;

They were supposed to be more Dutchie-sized, and I’ve gotten lots and lots of comments that either I “look absolutely adorable”, or I’m “on LSD”. lmao
I even messed with people like that– getting in their face and saying (with a raspy
voice) “Hey kid.. wanna do some LSD?!” Heheheh! Ohh man.
Decreased the size since then, and this is what they look like now;

No more.. heh, LSD trip, and they actually look pretty good IMO (being 3/4 the size of the eyeball). Though, I’m highly debating if I should mess with the pupil dilation settings to ‘simulate’ having an acid trip every now and then. Might do it, might not. I’ll ask friends and see if they think it’s a fun idea.
Someone suggested that I spawn a table with a stack of LSD on it, and then have the big eyes as I snort it. ..lmao.

I also feel confident enough to make the multiple versions of the avatar, and have wiped BTDB v2 out (until the VRC devs eventually make it where you can categorize your private avatars).
So yeah. Got to keep things organized.
EDIT: Someone had told me to use a Plane instead of a Box Collider for flight, except Unity bitches about using a mesh collider on an avatar (and won’t let me test as it won’t let me upload). Going to have to contact that someone and see if he can help.
