OSC and VRChat

OSC (/osc) sends UDP messages to VRChat (or other OSC listeners) when tips match your automation. Use it to toggle avatar parameters, outfits, or world states on tip.

Creator + Premium + paired pokesBot required for tip automation. On your streaming PC, run pokesBridge so OSC can reach localhost or your LAN target.

Setup​

  1. Open /osc in the Pokes dashboard (or edit Tips / Host / Port in pokesBridge; Save syncs back to /osc).
  2. Enter your OSC target (IP/port VRChat listens on).
  3. Define parameter names and values per tip rule or command integration.
  4. Keep pokesBridge connected with OSC enabled while you stream.
  5. Test with Test Tips while VRChat is running with OSC enabled.

VRChat notes​

  • Enable OSC in VRChat action menu or avatar config as appropriate for your setup.
  • Use local network IP when Pokes runs on the same PC as VRChat.
  • Firewall must allow UDP to your configured port.

Tips​

  • Start with one simple parameter toggle before complex multi-parameter maps.
  • Pair with Alerts so stream and avatar both react.

Troubleshooting​

No OSC received? Verify IP/port, VRChat OSC enabled, tip rule actually fired, and pokesBridge shows Connected to Pokes with OSC on. Test UDP with a minimal tip test before going live.
