Plugin editing?

Hi everyone, I want to make some changes to hazmhox's VAMMoan plugin—like changing the blowjob sound—but I don't know how to do it. Could you help me out?

If I recall, the discussion thread has some information about people asking the same and replies. Or maybe it was scattered in the forum, but I do remember seeing these discussions and instructions people could follow.

I did some research, but there is no clear consensus; some recommend Unity, while others mention tools like Notepad++. I posted this request for help because I was confused.

Unity and Notepad++ are very different applications.
The sounds are in an assetbundle form and to change to your sounds you'd need pack your sounds into an assetbundle (Unity can do that) to replace the plugin's. I don't know how the plugin calls for the sounds, probably you'd need to name them in a certain way that the plugin is expecting. That's where you would need to look up conversations about this or understand the plugin's code.

I want to play around with—that is, modify—the moaning and blowjob sounds within the add-on. (I want to integrate the sounds I created myself into the game.)

I updated my answer since my initial response.

As you mentioned above, I prepared my audio files as an AssetBundle, but I cannot access the plugin's contents; likewise, I cannot access the contents of the files named "voicebundle".

Be more specific, please.

• you can't see the contents of the VAR? Open it with your zip file manager
• see the .cs files that are the plugin? They're just text files, use notepad or something better
• voicebundle.assetbundle? You cannot open an assetbundle, you need a specific tool that can read or extract the contents of an assetbundle, like assetripper

I shared the contents of the VAR. file as an image above you can see it there but I can't get past this point.

The voices and voices-shared files don't show the extension, but I bet it's assetbundle. You set Windows to hide common extensions, that's why they don't show.

The main problem you have to tackle is to learn what is the plugin expecting from the files in the assetbundle, so that you can either mimic that on a new assetbundle you make or change the plugin to match what you do on your assetbundle. The plugin cs files will be in the src folder.
If you know nothing of C#, then this will be a difficult quest unless you do find detailed guidance on this particular plugin. As I said earlier, I remember seeing it somewhere, probably in the plugin's discussion area.

Believe me, I have absolutely no knowledge of C#; I only knew a little bit back in the Minecraft days Aside from that, I can only modify the 'scene' and 'looks' files within the VAR files, so it looks like this process is going to be quite a struggle for me.

It might be very difficult unless you find specific guidance to the task, but you'd sure learn a lot in the process.
Don't forget that you can also do your own "plugin" in VAM. A combination of existing plugins, like logicbricks, one to read your audiobundle (soundfromab) and others like relay, delay, etc, to create a system that plays your sounds randomly in your prefered way.

Thank you, I will do my best; at the very least, I should try to find a guide who doesn't make things difficult.

Reading the thread, you might want to learn a handful of things :
- Understanding file formats ( so first, enable file extension on your Windows )
- Understanding assets
- Understanding plugins and how they interact with said previous assets
- Understanding the tools that can help you edit/modify/create new files or assets

I'm not being mean here by saying that, just stating you're current "level of understanding of the problem" : if you're confused/confusing Notepad++ and Unity and cannot naturally comprehend what people means by saying "you either need Notepad or Unity", you have a bit of things to overcome ^^

You're in "reverse engineering" territory here (unless the guy who made it could tell you exactly how ), and you did not even come close to understand by yourself how it works ( it's not a problem! everyone can learn! ). So the very important aspect here would be for you to learn those basics first... THEN try to modify the plugin.

The most important aspects are:
- Knowing how to edit the voice library
- Knowing how to build a new library
- Knowing how to make the plugin understand the new library (depending on how you edit the library)

The easy way forward might be not to try to modify VamMoan, but instead to use the SoundsFromAB or RandomSoundFromAB plugins. Once you have a proper assetbundle, you can play sounds from it by any number of standard methods, like triggers, etc.
