SDK2 avatars don't send any parameters via OSC #106

Closed knah closed 2 years ago

knah commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug When using an SDK2 avatar, no parameters are sent via OSC at all.

To Reproduce Just use any SDK2 avatar, move around/use gestures and observe complete lack of messages sent from VRChat.

Expected behavior OSC messages are sent for default parameters, such as GestureLeft, VelocityX and other parameters present on all avatars by default.

Info (please complete the following information):

Additional context For the context, I wanted to make a VR overlay that shows currently used gesture regardless of used avatar - very useful for Index controllers where finger tracking is mildly unreliable and I can never know if I'm actually making Rock'n'Roll gesture or not. Unfortunately, with current state of OSC, it would only work on SDK3 avatars.

SDK2 is deprecated so it is intentional to be not supported. Basically no more new feature. That's it.

While I'm aware that SDK2 is deprecated and won't get any real new features, in-game support for them is still on the roadmap as far as I can tell - for example, the Dynamics beta has DynBone -> PhysBone converter working just fine on SDK2 avatars (well, as fine as it works in general). I'd argue that this feature is similar to that in nature - something that is nice to have to keep all the existing SDK2 avatars at a usable level and not punish their users for wanting to stick with an old and beloved avatar.

SDK2 is deprecated and uses an entirely different system for setting parameters - our efforts here will be focused on improving and expanding OSC support for the current and future SDKs.
