This Unity editor extension starts VRChat client automatically after world publishing is completed. You can go directly into published world and start to test it.

Motivation

In some means, this is similar to local test that is one of a VRChat SDK feature. I can't completely trust with local test. I also do tests in ordinary client. And selecting my world from quick menu operation is a pain. So I made this tool.

How to use

Install unitypackage. That's all.
- When Publishing world process is completed, VRChat client starts automatically.
- By default, it runs on desktop mode.
If you want change setup, open setting window via Unity menu Window > VRC_Iwsd > Client Starter
Setup window also serves other features. For example
- Open world manage page at vrchat.com
- Open another world specified by world ID

advanced UI mode sample

World ID (read only) field
- Automatically filled with editing scene's ID after some operation
- You can copy this string to clip board
Copy Launch Link button
- Copy launch link (a URI formatted vrchat://...) string of the world to clip board.
Start another world section
- This section treats a world selected by what you manually type in ID field.
- Used to refer to a different world than the one being edited for comparison or so on
World ID field
- Type world ID to select.
- "world ID" is a string formatted like wrld_b51f016d-1073-4c75-930d-9f44222c7fc3
- accepts extra characters. It will be just ignored.
  - For example, you can input shared link itself formatted like https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_b51f016d-1073-4c75-930d-9f44222c7fc3 You need not to delete heading part.
Use SDK's 'Client Path' checkbox
- On: Use a program specified Installed Client Path to start.
  - It is in VRChat SDK Setting window. You can change it Edit button in it.
  - If you installed Occurs client only (in other words, you don't have Steam version) and you don't setup specific path to Installed Client Path (in other words, leave it as default), it will fail to start.
    - This is because I don't have information that I need to write codes handling this case.
    - Workaround: set Installed Client Path where VRChat.exe is
- Off: Open launch link (vrchat://...) to start
  - By default, Windows runs {VRChat installed folder}/launch.bat and it runs VRChat.exe
Desktop mode checkbox
- Start VRChat in desktop mode if on.
- This option is available only when Use SDK's 'Client Path' is on.

README (日本語)

このエディタ拡張は、ワールドのアップロード（publish）が完了すると自動的に VRChat クライアントを起動します。アップロードされたワールドに直ぐに入りテストを開始できます。

作成背景

これはある意味で、VRChat SDK の機能であるローカルテストと同じではある。ローカルテストは信用ならない場合があり、通常のクライアントでのテストも必要。そしてクイックメニューからワールドを選択するのは苦痛。というわけでこれを作りました。

使い方

Unity パッケージをインストールする。それだけ。
- ワールドのアップロード処理が完了すると、VRChat クライアントが自動的に起動する
- 初期状態では、デスクトップモードで起動する
設定を変更したい場合は、Unity メニュー Window > VRC_Iwsd > Client Starter から設定画面を開く
設定画面は他の機能も提供している。例えば：
- vrchat.com のにあるワールド管理ページを開く
- ワールド ID で指定された他のワールドを開く
