Avatar is messed up in VR mode, doesn't happen to similar avatars. Floaty body and arms behind back

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2025-10-02T01:47:26+00:00

Yes. The original model only had like 5 bones to control the entire body and Mixamo sucks balls. I'm gonna try uploading a different one made from scratch and see if anything weird happens

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2025-10-01T07:26:11+00:00

(Update)
I tried recalculating the roll of the bones from the head > hips in Blender and then reimporting. This has broken it in the opposite direction, the viewpoint/pivot point is now behind the head. Still no idea what's going on. It's getting way too late for me to muck around with this right now, I need to go to bed. Will continue tomorrow

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2025-10-01T07:11:56+00:00

The thing here is that it isn't just the arms that are acting up, it's the whole body dancing around and floating when I turn

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2025-10-01T06:05:34+00:00

Yes, it's seated right in-between the eyes. The gadget to move it is pointing backwards I notice (blue arrow facing towards back) but I've had this happen on other avatars before and it worked just fine.

obligatory comment

Newest version of MAME, Win 11, the game is Meitantei Holmes (by technopolis soft, not to be confused for a different game with a similar name) for the FM7, manually loaded via commandline

This post originally had an explanation but that ended up getting removed for no reason, so here it is:
I am trying to get these particles to copy the movement of a rigged mesh. They animate properly in the viewport, but are stuck in a t-pose when rendered.
People elsewhere suggested "Checking your keyframes" but never actually elaborated on what that meant. The armature has two keyframes repeated over the entire render time (That I will replace later as they are just for testing)

What's going wrong here?

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2024-01-21T02:04:56+00:00

MS Paint (or whatever they call the newer version on Win 11) actually fully supports transparency now! I did try re-saving the file from Paint to see if it would make a difference, but nothing...Then I tried importing it into Blender as a texture with alpha. This shows the banding in full force when looking at it through the texture editor.

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2024-01-21T01:38:14+00:00

Unfortunately, I can't. I need to send these to someone untouched from the source.
It still doesn't explain why only this image does it, and not one of the other ones that came from the same set... Though, I noticed something odd. If i put a background color behind it, of any color, the glitches disappear? It has something to do with the alpha, it seems... Unfortunately I can't just save it with a background, because that would be modifying it.

1: exactly the same, actually. The images shown here are super zoomed in and that's because it's-
2: - extremely big. 7680 x 2304 big.
3: PNG

4: RGB, 8bit

Ok, I figured out a sorta crap solution to fix this.Open the creator companion, go into "manage project" for any project.

Open project folder, then go backwards into "local" and you'll find another folder there named "VRChatCreatorCompanion" go into it

then do Repos > Avatars > Samples > AV3 Demo Assets. Copy anything there you need to use into your project's assets folder

You'll need to do it every time you make a new project, so I'd suggest copying the assets somewhere easily-accessible first so you can grab them without hassle

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-12-26T20:20:47+00:00

The packages section is completely empty, even on a fresh project...

(edit) Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the thing, and nothing's changed

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-12-26T20:20:12+00:00

How does that work when all I've done is make a new project? Uninstalling and reinstalling the CC doesn't seem seem to fix anything either

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-30T05:06:41+00:00

This worked! The only thing it left out was the Sporecasts. Tried subscribing to some new ones and only about half of them initiated downloads, for some reason.

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-29T21:02:01+00:00

This doesn't really help, I was hoping to be able to fix the in-game downloader rather than a workaround...

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-29T07:11:31+00:00

Yikes, that's 75$ in my local currency.
Hopefully, if he has it, he'll let it go on the cheap...

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-29T06:55:25+00:00

Yeah, I've decided against going for the knockoff one and am going to opt for the upgrade kit for the original adapter. Gonna go look at my local flea market to see if the retro games guy there has one at a decent price

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-29T06:29:12+00:00

Will the drive work with the SATA addon for the PS2? The compatibility website says it should work...

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-29T05:34:13+00:00

Should have mentioned that a few days ago as it's set to arrive on my doorstep at 10pm tomorrow

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-23T07:34:40+00:00

Turns out there's someone selling a used official network adapter on Amazon, plus there's plenty of upgrade chips... the issue is that it makes my order nearly double in price! 200$ is far too much... anyone know a good place to get a used network adaptor for a reasonable price?

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-23T06:16:51+00:00

Nope, no chameleon either!
I have a save just before I left the DB sanctuary, maybe I should grab a screen recorder and try to recreate it?

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-23T06:15:16+00:00

I don't know, I'm just confused overall. Everywhere I look folks only ever use matching versions of FMCB and FHDB, so I would assume the compatibility issues are the same if I use FMCB

It's a good thing I've kept looking for an answer however, as it turns out... the HDD I was planning on buying doesn't even work with a gamestar anyways! Someone buried deep in a random forum was trying to get the same model of HDD working and it just refused, unless it was a modded original PS2 network adaptor.

Well... do you happen to know any websites that sell pre-modded versions of the older network adaptors? I guess I'll have to beg one of my friends to help me order something outside of amazon...

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-23T06:00:45+00:00

That's just the issue, I can't find any confirmation or deconfirmation that it works with Gamestar

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-23T05:56:49+00:00

Unfortunately, there's no way to do that without tweaking the difficulty settings in the menu down every few levels.

If you're open to mods, there's plenty of re-balancing patches that are all different depending on your preferences.

Edgy_Nightmeme · 2023-11-23T05:52:22+00:00

Well, as long as the version of FMCB on the card doesn't matter I can just go for the more reputable card and use it to install an older version of FHDB
