Animated Avatar Help Guidelines

This guideline has been updated as of 6th May 2018, 11:40 AM GMT +8 Singapore Time.

This is mostly an instruction manual or some sort of guidelines to include the new animated avatars in VRChat as of 30th April 2018. Take note that I do not claim any responsibility if this guideline fails, especially when seated car avatars has been recently implemented and that there is a possibility that the developers might remove this functionality at any point of time, rendering the chairs useless.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE (1st May): I’ve managed to encounter VRPill in The Great Pug map when he was testing his own avatar against the main staircases leading up to the second floor (his avatar apparently has some problems with it). Asked him some questions regarding the chair prefab feature in avatars and he stated that it’s intentional and that he has purposely placed it in there. Reasons for him placing it there is still unknown, although I suppose he wants more creativity from the community (he has expressed interest in more custom-made avatars back in the Official VRChat Discord channel). Still, he was quite hesitant to “sit” in my avatar and was running away from me when everyone who was inside my car was asking him to do so LOL

UPDATE (6th May): So apparently from what I've heard in the official VRChat Discord channel, the developers have taken out chair functionality from avatars in the most recent SDK update. This has caused quite a bit of concern for newcomers who intend to use this functionality now in the game (although they will be patched back in, with no time goals). I do not know whether they have added in the Trust System (which is going to be abused so bad) or render previous SDKs obsolete yet (which I find ridiculous, why disable old reliable SDKs when the new ones aren't even as good as the old ones?), but I will be providing the April 25th version of the VRCSDK in this guideline.

[VRCSDK-2018.04.25.09.19_Public - http://www.mediafire.com/file/kyr4f4ivg6zzz04/VRCSDK-2018.04.25.09.19_Public.unitypackage]

This file came straight from the official VRChat site itself, so feel free to scan it all you want. Also, if VRCMods administrators do raise an issue on allowing SDKs to be downloaded by third-party sources, I will bring the link down in compliance.

Q: I cannot upload the avatar at all! The VRCSDK states that there is a conflicting component (VRC_Station)!
A: In order to get the animated seated avatars, you will need to UPDATE your VRCSDK to the April 25th version (the one I used to develop these avatars). Using previous SDKs to upload these avatars is impossible since there are triggers that will be activated if a conflicting component exists (VRC_Station), so don't bother trying to tinker with the SDK or anything. Follow the official SDK released by the developers of VRChat, and everything should go along dandy.

Q: When I use this avatar, my mic breaks and people who enter my avatar cannot leave. Why?!
A: That's because you've tempered with the functions of the animations and seating, and now you are stuck in such a situation. If you want to learn to create your own, try not to tamper with these functions in the future. And oh, please redownload the file thx.

Q: I hate the new version of the avatar because of (please state your reason here LOL), I want the old version back now!
A: Slow your horses, I've also left the old scenes behind as well in case you guys prefer to use the old versions of the avatar. Nothing is going to change unless there are significant improvements that I can make on the current avatars.

Q: When I use the Animated Police Car avatar in The Great Pug map, I always get teleported back to the spawn point with my avatar being near-frozen!
A: This is a problem that I am looking into right now. Apparently from some players I’ve encountered in the map, The Great Pug Map has some “in-game defensive mechanism” which teleports avatars that are detrimental to the environment to the spawn point. Furthermore, I have reasons to believe that this popular map is glitchy in nature (VRPill had difficulties with the stairs, AE86 Animated model has no problems with the map at all), so as of now I would highly advise against using the Animated Police Avatar until a suitable fix is implemented.

I will probably include more list of questions if I can think of it right now, but at the meantime, if you do have any inquiries, just give me a DM at my Discord (IceSeasons#4932) or Steam (IceSeasons) or in the VRCMods.com help group. I will be paying attention there haha, unless you do want to find me personally in VRChat LOL

Anyway, I hope that you guys will enjoy this new version! I will still update existing avatars even though they have been uploaded weeks ago, so stay tuned!
