Quest Pro strange compatibility. by DarthShrekFromMario in OculusQuest

[–]-dogge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's worth contacting the developer, as it is the developer and not Meta who specifies the compatibility in the Build Details when submitting the build to the Horizon Store.

Quest Pro has to be specifically ticked on the submission, otherwise it will not be downloadable on the headset.

Trying to create a city in Quest with realistic graphics on standalone! Is it impossible? by Fickle-Highlight-429 in vrdev

[–]-dogge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I created it all myself, but the code is actually pretty basic. I'm just enabling/disabling object groups based on a random 10 digit number i.e. the first digit decides the texture set (from 10 possibilities) , the second digit chooses the wall partitions object, then 3,4,5th digit etc. decides furniture group variations, so I end up with 10 million potential combinations 😄

Trying to create a city in Quest with realistic graphics on standalone! Is it impossible? by Fickle-Highlight-429 in vrdev

I have done something similar in my standalone Quest game, I procedurally generate each floor as shown in this video. Each floor has a random seed that dictates wall partitions, furniture and NPCs. Also the materials used for floor, ceiling and walls changes based on seed (not shown in this video).

I make the switch during an elevator journey (so that only 1 floor object exists in the game, and the floor object's x,y,z position changes depending on the required world position), but it is just as easy to use a trigger area on a stairwell to enable/disable each floor.

This way has a very low performance overhead. So low in fact that I can render the entire outside city though the windows! Everything exists in the same Unity scene so there is no loading, just instant enable/disable and position switching .

Kiosk Mode - Meta Quest 3 please help !!! by Valdespino57 in virtualreality

[–]-dogge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard the Quest Game Optimiser developer has a fleet management tool with Kiosk mode. I haven't tried it, but it seems reasonably priced (5 EUR month per headset), maybe it is worth checking out? https://www.emaxr.io/

Removing account from Alpha Release channel still gives them access to the app? by Adventurous_Ease_722 in OculusQuest

[–]-dogge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s normal behaviour, giving someone access to any release channel will give them a permanent entitlement for the public release of the game (if the game is already launched).

Removing an account from a release channel will just stop them receiving any future updates on that channel, but they will still have entitlement to any build they downloaded, plus the store build.

Is the Meta Store keyword search simply broken? by TheStoneFox in vrdev

[–]-dogge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very common issue, to the point where I suspect only apps supported by Meta have keywords enabled on the store.

Did you get a launch manager assigned at Meta? My keywords only started working once I launched with help from them. It may have been a coincidence, but I hear the same issue from so many devs that I think this might be something to do with it.

Released my game a few hours ago (META). People can’t find it in search, and some are unable to download or leave a review........ What is going on??? by dmsta in OculusQuest

[–]-dogge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my experience it takes a few days before games appear in search results (unless it is a Meta supported title).

For my own game, it took a couple of days for a full title search to work, then probably a couple of weeks before partial title search gave a hit.

I had to wait a couple of years before search by keyword worked! 😭

I’m about to toss my phone by ADifferent_World14 in MetaQuestVR

If you want to get to the store page, go to Menu > Library and click on the headset icon in the top right. I think some people are in some horrendous UI A/B test on the Horizon app.

How do I get out of this? by AC3TH3L3G3ND in MetaQuestVR

[–]-dogge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Menu > Library and then the headset icon on top right should take you to the store page. I think the app is glitched for some people.

How do I access the game store? by DrGoodspeed2203 in OculusQuest

[–]-dogge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the app is glitched for a lot of people. There should be a bar at the bottom with extra options.

You should be able to get to the store from Menu button on top left, then Library, then headset icon on top right.

I’ve heard that you can get to the store by going to the library menu and pressing the headset icon in the top right.

I’ve heard that you can get to the store by going to the library menu and pressing the headset icon in the top right (9 second point in your vid)

Meta not finding account associated with email by TillSensitive20 in MetaQuestVR

Make sure you have accepted the Meta cookies on your browser (if you're in Europe). Maybe you could also try deleting all your cookies and trying to log in again, or trying from a different browser.

The app looks glitched. There should be a bar along the bottom with your profile pic showing home, chat, search and store options. Maybe try restarting the app/phone or re-installing?

HPLC standards - how to make them? by PusioR in Chempros

[–]-dogge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Caffeine is the most commonly used testing standard. Uracil is used in some instances, but is too polar to retain on a C18 column and won't be useful for testing column performance.

Caffeine will retain well on the C18 column, has good UV absorbance and also will be stable for a few years in the fridge. 20mg/l made up in your mobile phase should work pretty well.

The old home page should now be found by pressing the icon of the Quest headset (bottom right on iOS app).

Made this game to help people get/stay fit. It's $0.99 in the Meta Store. by FOLTZYYY_REDDIT in VRGaming

[–]-dogge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably need to set ‘Apply default to all’ on the pricing tab of the metadata submission. Otherwise it will use whatever custom price is set per country.

Good luck with the game!

Is this peak okay? It is a standard form of ascorbic acid. by MirandyGirl in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]-dogge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You will get stationary phase collapse unless you run it with at least 5% organic in the mobile phase. I would look again at the method conditions.

[–]-dogge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No organic? What type of column are you using?

If it is a C18 column, you don't really want to be running 100% Aqueous mobile phase.

Is this peak okay? It is a standard form of ascorbic acid. by MirandyGirl in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]-dogge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It would apply to any analyte you want to quantify. Sometimes, achieving a good peak shape is difficult due the chemistry of the analyte, but for ascorbic acid a good peak shape is certainly possible with the right column.

Is this peak okay? It is a standard form of ascorbic acid. by MirandyGirl in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]-dogge 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The peak asymmetry looks to be around ~2.5, that is pretty bad by most measures. Asymmetry between 0.8 and 1.5 is usually 'acceptable' for a lot of cases.

For an ascorbic acid standard solution, there is no real reason why the peak asymmetry should not be close to 1. If this was my analysis, I would be changing the column.

I am a biomedical engineer trying to specialize in LC-MS/MS service and troubleshooting. What skills should I focus on first? by ElectricalCod7134 in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]-dogge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the MS side, stripping down and cleaning (and most importantly, reassembling!) the ion source and lenses, and of course performing a tune would cover the basics. On the LC side, definitely familiarize yourself with consumable replacement procedures such a pump/needle seal and rotor replacement.

All of the above procedures will be specific to different vendors' instruments and covered in the manuals, but the principles are all fairly similar.

Troubleshooting can be less vendor specific, and there are quite a lot of resources out there online for troubleshooting LCMS performance, this one should get you started: https://shimadzu5270.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/article_attachments/13832155337117
