==============================================================
Well, it looks like we WON’T be working together (VRChat Discord)
==============================================================
Okay, VRChat Discord. Okay. You’re sick of my shit. Dunno what happened but it seems as if catboy told all helpers “whatever you do, do NOT help Benie with his project! He WILL USE YOU for his own personal game!!” Likely overreacting, but it seems to be the most logical thing as I’ve been waiting for three days and noone wants to (or maybe can) help me… forcing me to fix the issue myself.
The issue I’m having is grabbing the pose. Though I have a hard time explaining said
issue, I will try. Typically, when I do a fist with my left hand at the grab point defined by the Receiver’s transform, my fist will ‘teleport’ into the back of the pose’s head
and be ‘glued’ to it, using the rotation of my arm and wrist for position and rotation.
Now this is what I expect to happen. But what’s actually been happening is… this is where I have a hard time explaining (and a maybe possible reason why I’m not getting help).
–
Instead of the fist ‘glued’ to the back of the head, it ‘floats’ behind the head. It’s still attached but not fully. Think of if I’m grabbing an orb that’s also attached to the pose. The orb moves with the hand, but it doesn’t move with the pose. It ‘rolls’ around, especially if I use playspace mover to go up. My fist will go up and above where the grab point is. Also when I turn my head I can see the pose moving on this ‘orb’ (not actually turning but rotating on an axis).
That is the best I can explain the issue. But despite my attempts to explain I can’t get anyone to help me. I have made some personal progress, but two pose types are seriously kicking my ass to show absolutely no sign of even being close to having the issue mitigated. Reason why I’m not listing the pose types is I figure you folks are tired of me talking about this project (as it doesn’t benefit anyone but… myself). So that’s why I stopped. But the reason why I’m talking about it now is its part of what happened yesterday. Being on Red status, Jero couldn’t join me if he wanted to.
So I gave up trying and moved the changes over to the main version, got my trackers on and tried to see who’s on. Saw Frost was joinable, and remembered he ‘has power over Jero’. “This might work in my favor” I said as I was joining.
There were quite a few people here. Kat was here, but she very tired from drinking. But that was the only friend besides Frost who was there. I layed down next to the two and just chilled for awhile.
==============================================================
“Jero, get your otter ass in here!”
==============================================================
I was debating if I should say “it would be nice if Jero was in here”, thinking Frost would say something like “well let him be where he wants”. Eventually I came up with “you know it would be nice if Jero joined us. Too bad he’s with his otter friends.” Frost says “let me fix that” and spams him 30 invites to join. Five minutes later, Frost actually calls Jero and tells him to get his ass in here. I’m muted, laughing my head off. Finally I see him joining us. BAHAHAHA!! You won’t join me, but you will listen to Frost. 🤣🤣
This almost feels as if Frost was my ‘big brother’, and I’m all “big bro! Jero doesn’t wanna join me!” 😠And Frost would be like: “is that SO?! 🤬 I’ll make him join.” 😈
And then I’m all (in the background);
It was too funny. I said to Jero while trying not to laugh “glad you could join us”. Apparently he was planning to leave anyway, due to drama within the otter community. I didn’t ask what happened as I wouldn’t really know what to tell him (don’t know anyone there). Though Jero did ‘get his revenge’ by trying to lick Frost’s feet over and over. This was just as funny, hearing Frost’s responses and Jero saying “I’m sorry that you invited me here”.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There was also this random person in full body that both of us assumed was one of Frost’s friends, who was moaning. Jero started doing very lewd things (such as licking the guy’s ass) where I felt “ok this is too much” and left the couch for a mirror. OML, Jero.
He however was chuckling over how Frost and Kat had left for another area of the world to avoid him. With him near me, I tell him how I’ve been working on JeroWorks and was going to show him the issue, when the person comes over.. gets in my face and says “did you come over here because I was moaning?” I said “no”. And they said “good, you better not be against it” then saying they were joking. Look, I don’t even know you. Get out of my fucking face. Didn’t say this (obviously).
They ask where Frost and the others went, and I pointed around the corner. Finally they go away. Ok, that was uncomfortable. Jero asks if I want to head over to where Frost is and I said sure.
We try to find the others and eventually do. Jero sees the two are having an alone moment and decides to leave them be. We go over to another mirror, where Jero tells me he needs to go deal with their dog.
==============================================================
Wait WHAT?!
==============================================================
He was gone for quite some time, so I switched to my JeroWorks 3.0 version to show him when he gets back where Unity has been kicking my ass. But when I picked the pose that did it… it was WORKING?! What?! ..HOW?! In the test version it wouldn’t work, but it works NOW?! “Could it be the world?!” I wondered.
Was VRChat not properly updating the model when it claimed ‘Test Avatar built’? I..I don’t understand. But, I’ll gladly accept it. Jero (when he came back) said Unity is “a broken program” (or something like that). He also likes how JeroWorks has progressed.
I then tried the other one.. and somehow it’s better than it was too. This is great! It actually worked out in my favor at the end. Now I can go to LS Media and watch what I want without this being an issue anymore.
==============================================================
Wish I never met Jelly (and Malice)
==============================================================
We went back to see Frost (and Kat). Don’t remember everything that happened. Just casual conversation and the like, and Tempest coming in wanting to release his frustration over more drama. Meanwhile, Malice messages me on Discord saying “can’t join” and “RIP”. For once I’m thankful of his inability to join due to his wifi. And I want to dedicate this section to talk about something that’s been bugging me since.. well literally two days ago when Jero had said “I almost joined lol” when I told him Malice was going to join the instance.
Like, literally right now as I type this, Malice is on but Jero isn’t. It’s safe to assume he’s going to want to hang out with someone (likely me). Yet I would rather watch movies by myself with JeroWorks (the actual Jero would be nicer). And if I could once again figure out how to make the poses invisible to others but visible to me, there wouldn’t be an issue of him hanging with me.
Though I wish Jero himself would drop his anger against Malice, so I could hang out with both of them. But no.. I have to be careful of who joins me (all because I’m friends with
a ‘racist’). It’s very annoying. Almost makes me wish I never met him or Jelly if I knew what I knew now.
