It isnt for quest, you can download an APK and you have to bypass temper, and then you able to have clients.

Why don't i have a "mod settings" menu anymore?

[@evanm623]

Make sure you are using steam vr and melon loader is still installed on your pc. If you launch vrchat from oculus home or the quest, no mods will load

[@hime9396]

*dude you explained it so easily thanks... i got it installed it works... if u had donate button id donate... vrc sucks if u cant move other ppls hair or ears*

this aged like fine wine

[@saddle9826]

For those who are having the issues with MelonAssistant, I installed my VrChat on Steam, then went to its Local Game Files and put the MelonAssistant directly in the Vrchat Folder. Then you can open it from there.

[@purgatory3176]

this still isnt working for me do ou have any other ideas

[@saddle9826]

@@purgatory3176 I do not, and I apologize. I also apologize for the day it took for me to reply, and I hope you get this resolved!

[@evanm623]

Thats extra for no reason. On windows 10, Melon Assistant can detect your vrchat folder automatically if it's installed on you pc now. If not, change the pointer directory in melon assistant to where you keep your vrchat 😅

[@saddle9826]

@@evanm623 I had to take an extra route because of my specific case, in which involved that method not working. But, of course, all systems are different. Also, I am using Windows 11.

[@evanm623]

@@saddle9826 Windows 11 kills me, I actually downgraded to 10 last week because of how many processes it breaks 😅 Interesting to know that it isn't plug and play for some peeps though. Every installation I've done I was able to point the directory of melon to where vrchat was.

You need to locate it in your steam library or wherever you downloaded the game onto rather if it’s on your c drive or any other

[@aamonnefarious2288]

Thanks Jordan, I appreciate the instructional. I'm having a hip problem on an avatar and I'm going to give this a try. I was wondering though, what kinda shader are you using on your necklace and other accessories. I dig the bloom effect if that's what that is. Thanks again.

[@JordanVR]

I am using arktoon shader for the metals

Can you do a step by step tutorial on how to run full body tracking? I like the way you explain things, way better than all the big guys. They sound so confusing and intimidating at times. Thanks(:

Hey! Perfect exactly what I needed and your the first video I see 👀 coincidence I think not lol

[@jodawn97]

Ive looked through every video and no one can answer my question. I do the same thing you all do but when i try to launch the program it says it cannot find the VRChat install folder but it is in that folder.

[@zom28]

@ying pep how?

[@jodawn97]

I did as well I don't remember how.

[@evanm623]

Melon loader is checking in the steamapps folder by default. If your vrchat folder is somewhere else, just uninstall and reinstall or change the directory of Melon Loader in the settings to point towards the location of vrchat. Check out my limb grabber video for more help with current mods

You could literary see the quality of the VRChat demographic just drop like a rock after EAC took over. VRC has been done for a long time. People left.

[@trenton9738]

do you have a vr headset? if not how are you moving your hands without one?

I have a question, I don’t have my oculus quest 2 connected to my laptop because it runs kinda laggy.. anyways, how do I get the mods on there without my laptop?

No, you need to run your oculus through Steam VR to use the melon loader mods

Got it, thanks!

It should as long as you get it downloaded correctly

[@mrblack2049]

youre not supposed to select the exe, thats why. just the folder you would find it in.

[@Guy3-7]

Im on desktop and it keeps saying "no mods loaded' and refuses to load mods anyone have a fix?

[@timefire_yt5490]

Is there a mod in melonloader assistant with which you can, for example, turn the body to the left or make yourself upside down?

[@KAOVK]

ive done everything while only on desktop when but when i connect my headset to my laptop and open vrchat nothing shows, do i have to do everything while its connected?

[@JordanVR]

if your just installing mods then you can have your headset on or off for mod installation. if you install mods it will install for steamvr vrchat installation. if you also have oculus vrchat installation then i dont think itll work through oculus, have to run through steam

[@StickyVA]

So whenever I try and load vrc with this installed it loads but then on the other tab there’s red text which I can only assume is an error. What do I do Update: emm works but when I try to use player rotater it does work

[@aidanfolck6846]

Would this work with quest 2 if I’m linked to my pc?

[@gamerpuzzle7242]

Only one question, does the client inform and warn you whenever a VRdev shows up in the lobby or enters the lobby?

[@addylovespickles]

when i try to download the vrcmelonassistant but it says to make sure the file is trusted and idk to make it trusted.

thanks dude!

My mods worked at first but then the melonloader wouldnt let my vrchat open is there any way to fix this.Also thank you.

@@evanm623 thank you

[@madookamagooka743]

doesnt work. installed melon assistant and it doesn't ask about computer risks, it only asks for a path to find VRCHAT. when i find that path and open melon assistant, it just gives me an error and says no mods could be found or loaded. waste of time.

How does head turn work

[@evanm623]

The muscles in your neck help your spinal column orient your head to the desired direction. Jokes aside, it prevents you locomotion or vr body from moving a ton when you look around similar to full body tracking. More immersive imo

[@violetGTAG]

When ever i run VRChat What happens is it saying that cant run right and this file Program 86x is not safe so i need help..

when i try to get the mods in melon assistant it says “Could not load mods list” and a bunch of other stuff

@JordanVR is there a search avatar thing, if so can you tell me what category its on?

[@TheGhostFace21]

You should do how to search avatars

[@evanm623]

Basic EMMVRC function right here. All you need is the core mod installed, activate EMM in game by entering your pin from the discord server, then search using the search bar on the avatar tab.

Question about a mod: how do you get realfly to work, isn't it about me free flying or what?

[@chandlerrr6177]

is there some type of client or mod to change your display name??

void client has a streamer name spoof so it hides your name on the clients playlist and all but name isnt customizable its a preset fake name
