Important change about how supporter names are added to the world
Added 2023-09-23 20:58:03 +0000 UTCI changed the way patreon supporters are added to the world, to be automatic. Before I had to manually update the world every time there was a new supporter, which would sometimes take up to half an hour because unity is very slow and unstable on my project because it's very big. Not to mention that unity often crashes while switching between the windows & android build, or while uploading the world
However, because of this change everyone will have to link their VRChat account to their discord account by pasting a link to their VRChat account in a special channel in the discord server to get their rewards. If you don't do this, you won't have your nameplate and tier 1 & 2 user won't have their name in the world.
I'm using VRCApiTracker created by Dustuu to link discord account to VRChat accounts. This will refresh the linked accounts about every hour, so it might take a little bit before it'll show in the world
The posters are now loaded in via remote image loading. I made a script that combines multiple posters in 1 image, upload them to github, in the world download that image, select the correct poster to use and position it on the correct spot. Because of the 5 second rate limit between image downloads VRChat has, it could take about 20 seconds after joining before all posters are loaded in. This means I won't have to update the world to add a new poster, which will save a lot of time adding posters aswell! All posters from current supporters should be in the world as of now, but if I missed any please let me know!
