how to fix this unity crash? and how to upload from vrca file?

themethod

for background information i recently found out how to get a vrca file of an avatar thats really good that could get deleted so i want to upload it privately.

i have the file for the avatar and everything and it works fine putting it in unity but when i try to drag the prefab into the scene i instantly get this
i dont know any way how to fix this but i think it could be because of the ? files in shaders Screenshot 2024-08-26 034f314.png please someone help me

themethod

i dont think the second photo worked
and i noticed in the console

themethod

themethod

im gonna try to restart and see if i can do anything differently

yumyuri

you can easily upload it by using VRC-Hotswap

themethod

@yumyuri i dont know what that is but ill look it up now thanks

themethod

@yumyuri ive been trying for a bit now, is this a good guide? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoxyYgAl5k0
ive been kind of struggling heavily

yumyuri

@standstoreman yep,that video is a good guide

themethod

@yumyuri nothing i do seems to work

themethod

ive tried doing the hotswap thing and that doesnt work at all and does nothing, ive tried uploading it normally too and it just says "missing script" or

im very new to unity things

themethod

looking deeper into it i THINK its just a script problem cause nearly everything has missing scripts strangely

themethod

ive noticed a bigger problem, i dont think i got the actual vrca file at all, it just says _data and the sars hotswap thing wont detect it. what do i do??? i did the method to get it that was here https://forum.ripper.store/topic/28592/tutorial-how-to-find-a-vrca?_=1724653090454 but did i do it wrong?

yumyuri

@standstoreman you can try to download it form https://vrcpirate.com/vrcpirate/iddownload.html#

themethod

@yumyuri the avatar i have is 100% not on there at all sadly

themethod

gonna try a bit more hopefully itll work

themethod

what am i supposed to do about missing scripts?
hotswapping uploading wont work at all and i cant upload the avi cause of "missing scripts"

OrangeBurger

@standstoreman gotta manually find what components the missing scripts are on and remove them

themethod

@OrangeBurger but wouldnt that remove that feature from the avi? i checked and its on the main part of the avi and without it itd just be useless

OrangeBurger

@standstoreman a "missing script" already isn't functioning, it happens when theres a missing asset like usually Dynamic bones

yumyuri

there is a tool in the hotswap software to delete missing scripts
