iY MMD World Going Offline

I did it!

[princelykitten]

@princelykitten

I doubt it, the Japanese community kind of went Karen on Iris Alias, the author of the world about all the copyright bs and complained like they were the victims (typical). Iris Alias took down the world themselves following that.

I have no faith iY MMD World will be uploaded back.

in VRChat Quick Launcher's local world files).

Mind sharing how to? I might try to upload it.

[Metasect]

@CharmingMaiden

How to what ? Access the VRChat Quick Launcher ? It's in Tools inside the Creator Companion.

As for upload, I would advise against it. If the creator find that world back up, they'll get it taken down (and you risk a ban too). Plus, you can only upload a world which you have the project of. This one is not a project, it's a bundled world file.

@Metasect Would appreciate it if you could upload a youtube video to explain how to do that I'm so dumb at these things

[CharmingMaiden]

@Metasect dunno how to upload. do tell. dm.

[Kawaiicute]

[Literal]

Just to give a note, You cannot rip this world it will only shoot errors inside your console!
The world has been taken down

@CharmingMaiden

You cannot upload this world.
I do not know how, and even if i did, I would not say, because it would get you banned.

All I did here, was load the world file locally, in Offline Testing mode.

@Kawaiicute

Open Creator Companion app, then to go Tools tab, and launch the Quick Launcher in there.

For the file, just obtain it (check my Proton link above), and rename it to "scene-StandaloneWindows64-mmdWorld.vrcw" (Make sure you can see file extensions in File Explorer)

Place that renamed file in "AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat\Worlds"

In the Quick Launcher, look down at the Instance info section, click on "Local", and select the world file you just added.

In Profiles section, click "Add Profile", this will be Profile 0, which should be what you normally use to login to VRChat (Steam, VRChat account, etc). You can check if you want to launch that Profile in Desktop or VR with the checkbox on the right. make sure the checkbox on the left is checked to be active.

Press "Launch all selected", and there you go.

I will not upload anything to youtube anymore with a ten foot pole, sorry.
Read my message above.

@Metasect When naming it it's still a text file so the quick launcher won't recognize it as a world. What should I do?

[Metasect]

@Hirokuu

Make sure when you rename the file that you can see hidden file extensions in File Explorer.

1. Open File Explorer (open any folder).
2. Click the View tab.
3. Select "File name extension"
4. Optionally, you can enable Hidden items.
   Filename extensions will now be visible.

@Metasect I had those settings already it might be a different issue?

[Metasect]

@Hirokuu

I am not sure. This is not normal Windows behavior.

[Hirokuu]

@Metasect I fixed it! The file kept adding the .txt at end as default all I had to do was delete it

[Metasect]

@Hirokuu

Glad you got it sorted out.

[Hirokuu]

@Metasect Thank you for the help I appreciate it loosing this world was really sad but I'm glad there was a way to keep using it.
