Creator Companion

Repro: Add https://vpmm.dev/index.json as Community Repo to VCC Click "Manage Project" of any of your Projects after some seconds the frontend has only there background color left, in dev tools it's showing 2x Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

I just tried to install the Creator Companion on Linux via Wine, to see if it'll work going forward next year. While I'm able to install it, once started it is unable to find the Unity editor; which makes sense as Unity is installed natively instead of the Windows version in the Wine prefix (which wouldn't run). Additionally, none of the UI elements in the Creator Companion are clickable. Considering that effort has been put into making sure that VRChat runs on Proton, thus on Linux, would it be possible to have the Creator Companion be ported for Linux, so we won't get excluded from content creation once manual SDK downloads stop being shipped via the website?

Any default animator/animation should be included in the VRChat SDK - Avatars folder and kept up-to-date with what's used in-game. Pretty much what's in the Samples folder, but in a read-only state. Tools like Av3Emulator utilize the default animators to preview avatar logic in-editor. Other tools utilize these default layers to generate new customized ones. https://github.com/lyuma/Av3Emulator/issues/52 The current Samples folder is easily dismissed as bloat and deleted by those who don't immediately need it. Tool devs and avatar creators need a guaranteed way to access the up-to-date default animators without needing to include their own out-of-date versions.

I would like to add language to the newly released Creator Companion. Is that possible?

When I packaged an asset containing a UdonSharp program with Package Maker, I got errors because the assembly definition didn't reference Udon and UdonSharp region. And when I ran a recompile, I got errors because the U# assembly definition didn't exist. I think it would be nice if these things were prepared in Package Maker. Or at least having some guidance in the docs about these settings would make it less confusing for people like me. (I didn't find that description.)

In general it's not good practice to install software while the license is uncertain. So I want view license document of a package before installing it on VCC, especially in case of Community Packages. Also, it will be good if I can reconfirm after installing. For comparison, Unity Package Manager shows URL in Links section on details view. https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.4/Documentation/Manual/upm-ui-details.html

Even though there is a proper place to download the VCC installer, it doesn't guarantee that it's not getting intercepted, or worse, compromised as in hacked. A user will not be able to tell if the download was tampered with, if they cannot verify the certificate anywhere.

when opening the creator companion a unity hub window will briefly open then close

I installed Unity 2022 in addition to Unity 2019, and now every time I start VCC or go to Settings it opens Unity Hub. Is this a bug? Here's the video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKQY04Q268E

Unity projects are shown as their folder name, but I would like to rename the project's label in VCC without renaming the actual file folder. The Unity Hub has this feature already, but not VCC. In Unity Hub you can select the action "Set project display name" for a project and give it a custom nickname. Unity Hub also has a setting to display a project's product name (as specified in Project Settings>Player) instead of the directory name, which would also work. This was a commonly requested feature before Unity actually added it to hub, see this thread on the unity forums: https://discussions.unity.com/t/renaming-projects/689478/85 It would be a useful organizational feature for those of us who use a parent folder outside of their Unity project, which seems to be not uncommon from what I read online. I have unity projects as sub folders of a main project folder which also contains other stuff like my notes, references, and source files for art assets. I can name the unity project folder "Unity" but that makes it more difficult to distinguish in the VCC, or I can name it the project name, but it makes the directory more confusing since the project name is used for two folders.
