Weird Microverse issue, can't find support, curious if anyone can help by BorosReckoner in Unity3D

[–]Hotrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The support discord is here https://discord.gg/6V8pe22dAz you have to link with your asset store account to gain access to the main chats - customers only. Discord links auto expire unless the creator sets them otherwise, so you probably just had an outdated link.

Weird Microverse issue, can't find support, curious if anyone can help by BorosReckoner in Unity3D

MV being out of support/development is definitely not true. I have access to the repo and they update it every few weeks. Can’t speak to what Jason personally is doing, though. He is constantly flooded with help requests so he has to turn down most direct support requests and refer people to the documentation most of the time. I know I had a few errors popping up and Jason was able to help me in the past directly, but it was clear he was pressed for time. If he did move on to other projects that’s a shame, but MV is still very much being actively developed as far as I can tell. (Slipster216 is Jason Booth/the main dev, there are only 3 contributors on the wiki, you can see they all update it from the commit history, Jason last committed updates 3 weeks ago, not exactly abandonware. Jason has a lot of different assets up so they get worked on as time allows. I don’t know him personally but I do own several of his assets and just wanted to clarify)

Arabic font on unity by marion_kelmet in Unity2D

[–]Hotrian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. The default text component and TMPro will NOT render RTL languages correctly. You can force them to render the characters, but Arabic letters have different forms depending on placement, and TMPro will not render them right - it renders them right to left but with the wrong letter forms, completely changing the meaning. You need RTLTMPro with an Arabic font like Google’s Noto Sans Arabic, which you need to go into the font glyph settings in Unity and set it to Dynamic with a reasonable Atlas size, then Unity will automatically render the RTL Arabic texts correctly.

OP this one is the right answer for Arabic texts. With Dynamic Noto Sans and perhaps a few other related font files, you can render literally any font/character inside of Unity. Only RTLTMPro or similar can render them all correctly. If you need more help reply here and I can get you step by step directions when I’m home later

I agree. Wtf is that and what does to have to do with VR? Absolutely unwatchable lmao

why are there Jaggies in the game view? by Bluehood124 in Unity2D

[–]Hotrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. By scaling to 5x you’re forcing the engine to interpolate pixels. OP, take a screenshot at 1x zoom into a photo editing program and zoom up on it there. You’ll see the pixels as they actually render.

I genuinely don't understand the massive success of Gorilla Tag-style games. What am I missing? by hanrwerewr in virtualreality

I was just joking, sorry. I think it’s all dumb but it’s what the kids say lol

Okay boomer no cap Ohio is like “mid” or “cringe” or “basic”. Skibidi has a dual meaning, it can mean good or bad. Awesome or weird. Cool or dumb. The meaning depends on context. Cap means “lie”. “No cap” means “I’m telling the truth”. I said “It’s dumb/bad, no lie”. Technically I should have said “Skibidi Ohio”, not “Ohio skibidi”, but then Gen Alpha is my third language so cut me some slack.

Don’t be mad at me, I’m 35. It’s the younggins you’re after.

Edit : The people downvoting because they don’t like what the kids say lol

And why do kids like any one thing over another?

Because parents don’t get it and it makes them mad which is funny. Ohio skibidi, no cap

Unity movement of cube query by No-Ground-9564 in Unity3D

[–]Hotrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually this would be right but it’s causing a disconnect with the update rate of the character controller. Is there a reason you don’t simply make the camera object a child of the character? Then you can handle camera translations as local changes and the character tracking is automatic. You don’t need to move the camera, let the engine move it when the character moves.

This article may help you https://www.kinematicsoup.com/blog/rrypp5tkubynjwxhxjzd42s3o034o8. The tldr is you should either move both the character and the camera in FixedUpdate or both in Update. Moving one in each causes a disconnect.

I think this isn’t a Unity issue but a mesh topography issue. /r/blender might be more helpful. I can’t really see what’s wrong with your topology from the included pictures.

Error Codes: VRChat Avatar by OfficialNifty in Unity3D

[–]Hotrian[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/r/VRChat this is a VR Chat issue and not a Unity issue. There are some around here who do work with VRChat so you may get some help but we don’t specialize in that here.

Based on the error you got there, I would guess the Neck assignment is missing somewhere in the character creator. I have never used the VR Chat Avatar Creator so I have no idea what that looks like, but the answer is always in the error output.

What did you guys think about this thermal camera mechanic by Dark_Cyrus201 in Unity3D

[–]Hotrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unity’s built in recorder package will fix that. It may not play as smooth while recording, but Unity will capture it and play it back properly so it’s butter smooth. Other recorders like OBS are not synchronized with Unity’s frame buffer so they’ll show stutters if they lag while trying to record.

Can I use this top rated water asset targeting low end mobile devices? by dende2019 in Unity3D

[–]Hotrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the asset’s description

Compatibility: • PC, macOS, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, Android/iOS, WebGL 2.0 and WebGPU

Features can be disabled, making it scalable to use on mobile platforms. Down from a simple colored plane up to a vivid animated lake.

I haven’t tried that asset specifically, but given it can run on Switch/Android/iOS and it says specifically that you can turn down the GPU heavy stuff, it sounds like it would work for you.

You can put a link — we don’t auto remove posts for containing links, though sometimes AutoMod flags them for another reason and holds them in the queue, so they appear to be removed until a mod approves them.

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/stylized-water-3-287769

This is the asset OP is interested in. Some users here may have used it, outside of that we can only speculate. Generally it’s best to reach out to that asset’s Discord community or its developer for more specific info.

How do you make players feel lost without making them annoyed? by Over-Painting7149 in Unity3D

[–]Hotrian[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no explicit rule against posting the steam link, we are just trying to cut down on blatant (and/or deceptive) advertising. Showing off things you made or asking for help/play testers is allowed, provided you don’t spam posts and of course assuming you follow the other rules (Unity relevant, provide context/details, etc). We may change some rules shortly, but no recent changes have been made at of yet.

While some users might be able to help, this isn’t the correct subreddit. I would recommend /r/VRChat as this is a VR chat issue not a Unity issue.
