Unity keeps creating new prefabs everytime i try to build and publish an avatar

[Uno]

same as title, its annoying and the internet doesnt know so im posting here to see if anyone has any idea as to why this is happening. Yes i've detached the blueprint ID but it keeps reattaching along with it creating a new prefab in the process.

[Mio Rin]

The prefab file is the built avatar, ready for upload.
Every time you build an avatar (with or without an ID), a prefab file with a corresponding blueprint ID gets created if one does not exist. Otherwise, it will overwrite the existing one.
When it's done uploading, you can safely delete the local prefab file if you're low on disk space.

did you ever find a fix for this im having the same issue and would really appreciate the help

That is in English.
If the explanation is not satisfactory, I highly suggest you peruse the documentation for both Unity, accessible from the 'Help' menu in the program, and the VRChat SDK, which can be accessed through their website.

It's not 'satisfactory' because I don't think you understand what they're asking. I ended up here trying to help a friend with what I believe is a similar issue. It is infinitely creating prefabs without ever getting past that point. No prefab errors, no crashing, no mono scripts, forever creating prefabs without ever locking any unlocked materials, or giving you the option to name and upload. Nothing. OP obviously doesn't understand half of what you're saying and it takes two minutes to break it down, or maybe even ask them to elaborate on the issue instead of riding on whatever high horse you have. You sound terribly obnoxious and like every other commenter on posts like this that boil it down to "get good, kid"

As for OP, I'm working on finding a solution in case you never did. I'll update you as soon as I do to help any other people who may be struggling as well.

Well, how about both of you relay to us the output of the console when you try to upload?
Specifically, we're looking for warnings and errors.

Because right now, all we have is "Car won't start. It's blue."

[CɪᴘʜᴇʀᴇᴅFʟᴜғғ]

did anyone ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same issue.

Whenever I try to upload an avatar (Build & Publish), it creates a prefab of the avatar in assets and it's getting a little annoying.

[EmperorNeko63]

Although I didn't find a solution. I think the error has something to do with the blueprint id. I already have the avatar I want to update uploaded in its PC version.
It says that the prefab.unity3d does not exist. I haven't gotten farther than this as I am still learning Unity.

[emarshall61979]

I am having this problem as well, there are no errors, the blueprint has been detached, and all it does is create a prefab. anyone figure this out yet?

[Aries Villanite]

Running into the same thing here. Anyone ever find a specific solution to this? I feel like the last time I ran into it, I just started the whole project over from scratch, and somehow that helped, but it'd be super nice to know what actually causes this...

I am still having this problem, I click the "Build and Publish for Windows" button and it loads for like a second, then creates another prefab id that goes into the assets folder and nothing else that is supposed to happen (such as the actual uploading of the avi) happens. It only happens on certain avatars, and I haven't been able to replicate it. It is seemingly random. I hope that there is a fix found soon!

I know this is an old post but it might help any others in this situation below. I just this problem in Unity and managed to fix it. Try clicking Assets on the left hand side in 'Project', click 'Gesture Manager', then right click on 'Scripts' and delete it. That should work and allow you to upload :)

Ok I am not seeing the gesture manager so what else could it be?

[raccoon]

Found a fix yet?

[Kapu]

honestly the issue i had with it was the avi already had an sdk in it and thats usually the problem remove the sdk
