[Feature Request] Particle System Limiter

[Chayotea]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/avatar-particle-system-limits

It is an old beta feature that sill works as I currently use it to shutdown users using particle lag and crashers. I used to simply never have lights and particles on till I found this.

An issue is that VRCX does not like like me having it "Invalid JSON in config.json". I have already created a config.json from a long time ago with custom settings for most options that VRCX lets you add. Currently due to me having the particle limit added I am unable to use the VRCX "VRChat Cache Management" or manually download worlds to cache. I have tested that simply me deleting all the lines that were the particle limit resulted in a valid config.json to use with VRCX.

Can you send the lines you have added and copy your entire JSON file into this website https://jsonlint.com/ VRChat is more lenient about that file being valid, you likey have or are missing and extra comma or quote.

Yep fixed it just a comma on the last line lol I remade this multiple times and originally had the particle limit on the bottom. It is valid now. { "betas": [ "particle_system_limiter" ], "ps_max_particles": 50000, "ps_max_systems": 200, "ps_max_emission": 5000, "ps_max_total_emission": 40000, "ps_mesh_particle_divider": 60, "ps_mesh_particle_poly_limit": 50000, "ps_collision_penalty_high": 50, "ps_collision_penalty_med": 30, "ps_collision_penalty_low": 10, "ps_trails_penalty": 10, "dynamic_bone_max_affected_transform_count": 64, "dynamic_bone_max_collider_check_count": 16, "cache_directory": "F:/VRCCache", "cache_size": 240, "cache_expiry_delay": 90 }

I have helped multiple users to use this limiter but it be easier for me just to tell them to use VRCX and just have a button that adds the default limiter to be saved or edited. What I do now is I have to also tell them to get to the hidden AppData folder or they will never find it.

Keep in mind, that the presence of the particle limiter lines at all completely disables the PlayerLocal layer, making it so that you will be unable to see player-interactive avatar effects. It says so in the documentation only after i and maybe others, harassed the vrchat team back in 2018 that it was doing this without being specified.
