This guide walks you through setting up Strange Toolkit in your VRChat world.

Opening the Dashboard

  1. In Unity, go to Window > Strange Toolkit Dashboard
  2. The toolkit window will open, showing 6 tabs on the left sidebar

Initial Setup

Step 1: Create a StrangeHub

Every world using Strange Toolkit needs a StrangeHub - the central manager for all toolkit features.

  1. Go to the World tab
  2. If no hub exists, you'll see "No StrangeHub in scene"
  3. Click Create StrangeHub
  4. A new GameObject with the StrangeHub component will be created

Step 2: Run the Auditor

Before adding features, check your world's performance:

  1. Go to the Auditor tab
  2. Select your profile:
    • PC - General optimization
    • Quest - Strict Quest requirements
  3. Click Scan Scene
  4. Review and fix any issues found

Common Workflows

Adding Atmosphere Presets

Create switchable atmosphere configurations:

  1. Go to World tab
  2. Under "Atmosphere Presets", click Add Preset
  3. Configure the preset:
    • Name: Display name for the preset
    • Skybox: Material to use
    • Use Fog: Enable/disable fog
    • Fog Color/Density: Fog settings
    • Linked Root: GameObject to toggle with this atmosphere
  4. Check "Default" on one preset to load it on world start
  5. Click Create Atmosphere Switch to add an in-world toggle

Setting Up Interactive Toggles

Create persistent toggleable objects:

  1. Select the object(s) you want to make interactive
  2. Go to Interactables tab
  3. Click Add Smart Toggle Component
  4. Configure the toggle in the Inspector:
    • Toggle Objects: What to show/hide
    • Emission Renderers: Materials with emission to toggle
    • Animators: Animator components to sync
    • Sounds: Audio for on/off states

Optimizing for Quest

Prepare your world for Quest:

  1. Go to Quest tab
  2. Click Start Conversion Wizard
  3. This creates a YourScene_Quest scene with cloned materials
  4. Switch to the Quest scene
  5. Go to Auditor tab, select Quest profile
