World/Udon Bugs & Feature Requests

This will allow maps to have a day night toggle (or change the lighting in other ways) while still using backed lighting.

Get what instance type you are in. Public, Friends, Friends+, Invite+, Invite Single node can return string Multiple nodes for each type can return bool

Now that we can sync larger amounts of data, it would be helpful to be able to compress that data to minimize network overhead. However, doing compression in Udon is expensive; I'm sure you already have a zlib binding somewhere that you could expose, which would work much better.

Issue: Currently it's not possible to react to a players voice at all. We don't know when someone is talking or how loud they are for example. This limits us from making games where someone needs to be quiet to hide from an enemy for example. For security reasons it makes sense that we can't just listen to a player voice, which is why I think only giving limited access to it would be fine. Suggestion: Add an isTalking bool to the VRC Player API which is true when voice is detected and false when not. Add a loudness float to the VRC Player API which is a value between 0 and 1 depending on how loud a player is. (Basically how the current Voice parameter works on Avatars) Add a viseme integer to the VRC Player API which would indicate what viseme is currently used. (Basically how the current Viseme parameter works on Avatars) These would allow world creators to integrate player voice into game play while also not just directly giving them access to player voices for security.

Knowing the Photon ID of an UdonBehaviour would allow us to troubleshoot sync between Quest and PC by providing ingame UI displaying the ID of certain scripts. Non-matching Photon IDs is one of the most painful issues when maintaining Quest support, especially since some Quest worlds rely on a different project/hierarchy which can bring Photon IDs out of sync. Networking doesn't work and it's really hard to debug or find out why.

It will be nice to be able to use embedded video clips with the new video player system for things like video textures. Currently (on the open beta build 986) we can only load videos from external servers.

Spline editor and components is one of most exciting new feature for Unity 2022. Now our project has been migrated to 2022, So we are ready to use it! Please expose those components for world creation and Udon VM: ・Spline ・SplineAnimate ・SplineExtrude ・SplineInstantiate It would be better if the Spline package is automatically added to the project when the SDK is imported so that these features are easily accessible.

ParticlePhysicsExtensions has various methods for getting particle collision data. Currently these methods are not exposed yet, so we cannot retrieve that data. Examples: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnParticleCollision.html

If we're smart enough to write scripts for worlds, we're smart enough to drag a slider from 1 to 0.

There is no way to resize a texture in Udon currently. We can release (custom) render textures and that's about it. This is quite limiting and can hamper performance by forcing people to use the largest resolution needed when they could have otherwise reduced it as needed. If the issue with allowing resizing ((custom) render) textures is the possibility that they can be used to run the client out of memory, it would be useful to intercept the calls and cap the maximum resolution to something reasonable like 4k or 8k. This should have minimal performance overhead since people should not be resizing and reallocating their textures every frame. If that's the concern, it can be rate limited and just return false to the udon behaviour.
