Plugins CUAManager

CUAManager v 21

Still requires VAM 1.22.0.0 or later!

* You can now use a special morph "CUAM_ReadOtherGenderMorphs" to use load triggers bound to morphs in the other gender morph collection. Useful for female/male conversions when using "Use female morphs on male" and the trigger morph is still in the other gender morph collection. Morph "CUAM_ReadOtherGenderMorphs" is bundled in this version of the plugin and exist for both male and female.
If you have a male and want to use triggers from the female morphs, you must in the male morph collection activate the "CUAM_ReadOtherGenderMorphs" (not the female) and vice-versa!
(This does not work for clothing presets as most clothing items are bound to a specific gender, but work for CUAM presets and plugin presets!)

* Fixed a bug where multiple triggers loading plugins wouldn't always load all the plugin presets correctly.

CUAManager v 20

Still requires VAM 1.22.0.0 or later!

* Added pagination to the trigger list to avoid the list not rendering at all when you have around 200+ triggers.
* Fixed SubScene atoms not loading the subscene properly (requires re-saving SubScene presets).

CUAManager v 19

Requires VAM 1.22.0.0 or later!

* Changed trigger plugin preset load order to happen as soon as loading is over after changing a look but before CUAManager's "Post waiting" is finished. This makes plugin presets load as soon as a look finishes loading, skipping the artifical wait for CustomUnityAssets to load too if the look uses such triggers. A minor quality of life improvement for me.

CUAManager v 18

Requires VAM 1.22.0.0 or later!

* New: Auto load trigger can handle plugin presets. See description page video how to set one up.
* New: Quick canvas button to merge plugin preset added.
* Updated plugin interface - the interface is split into separate pages for easier navigation and to reduce scrolling. (I got tired of endless scrolling and updating the plugin UI was terrible!)
* Quick button to merge clothing is now always in 'compact mode'.
* Person scale is now preserved when you use the quick canvas button to select a new appearance. You can disable this in the options menu. (I found myself often checking the scale of the person before selecting a new appearance preset).
* Updated entire plugin description page to reflect the latest version of CUAManager.
* Added video guides to the plugin description how to:

• Create a preset
• Load a preset
• Create a trigger

Limitations for triggers and person plugin presets
This info is on the plugin description page

The CUAManager is pretty verbose when it comes to the plugin preset handling, showing when removing, skipping, updating and adding plugin presets. You can turn off the verbose logs from the settings but I recommend you leaving them on as it gives you information when it changes plugins.


More about quick canvas button to merge plugin preset:

"Merge Plugin" will always merge plugin presets. Using the "(R)" button does an additional task where it replaces any plugins with the same pluginUrl as contained within the selected plugin preset. Use this when you want to replace plugins to enhance the life of the characters in scenes, such as Glance, Expressions, Gaze, ImprovedPov, Embody or other plugins with your own.

Technically, this *clears* the existing plugins first before adding your selected plugin preset using merge load. This has the benfit of preserving the pluginUids for all other plugins (such as Timeline) which could otherwise destroy scene triggers.

Use case: I usually replace any Glance plugin in scenes with my own plugin preset with Glance with my own settings, making glance behave as I want! This is when I use the "(R)" option to clear any existing Glance plugins, if any.

Update for CUAManager to v.1.17 with a minor fix:

* Append using the FileBrowser now works in VAM 1.21

If you encounter any more problems please post in the discussion

Update for CUAManager to v.1.16 with some minor fixes:

* Assets with plugins using color parameters will now have the color parameters reapplied after 30 frames after creating the atom and loading the preset, fixing colors not being restored/initialized correctly. This makes the UnitAssetVamifier plugin colors work with CUAManager as expected instead of defaulting colors back to white and other plugins using color parameters. (This is a workaround for color parameters that works good enough! Other parameters seem to work just fine when applying plugin presets)
* Suggestions now also grabs the CustomUnityAsset's assetbundle name and parts of the path in various ways, improving name suggestions.
* Fixed a bug in the overwrite prompt being case sensitive instead of case insensitive.

Update for CUAManager to v.1.15 with some minor fixes:
* Quick canvas buttons now show filters for "All Flattened", "AddonPackages Flattened", "AddonPackages Filtered" and Current Directory.
* Fixed various bugs related to creating and deleting auto load triggers when there're multiple persons in the scene sharing the same trigger(s).
* Fixed "Active Triggers" filtering not updating itself when selecting another person in the scene.

Update for CUAManager to v.1.14 with some minor quality-of-life improvements for trigger management:
* Creating a new trigger now pre-selects the trigger.
* Changing sort/filter for the trigger-list will keep selected trigger intact if it's still within the filter.
* Fixed a bug when creating a new trigger not unloading presets as intended, causing the same preset to be loaded on top of existing ones in certain cases.

* Updated plugin for VAM 1.20.77.* to use new PluginData folder to avoid overwrite confirm dialog when updating options. All presets are still stored and saved to the legacy plugin folder.
* You can now quickly toggle all clothing items controlled by triggers. Click the 'toggle clothing triggers' button in the plugin UI or in the quick buttons. You can enable this as a quick button from the quick button options. Useful if you want to save a clothing preset without including clothing items controlled by triggers.
* New option added to ignore disabled atoms (where On == false) when saving presets. This option is enabled by default.
* Quick canvas buttons for "Replace/Append" and "Remove last/Remove all" now have an option for merging those buttons making the buttons take less space, similar to how the clothing merge button works. You can enable this in the quick canvas options.
* Name suggestion list now always include last loaded preset name (to easier allow overwrite a preset when updating one).
* (Fix) Clothing items will only be controlled by max one trigger now to avoid conflicts over which trigger "owns" it. A message will be shown when a clothing item is ignored for a second trigger. (This fixes a bug where it was impossible to disable a clothing item manually if it was controlled by two triggers.)

CUAManager v.1.12 - Quick button for merge load clothing (Minor quality-of-life improvement)
* You can now enable a quick button for merge load clothing preset. Enable this through the options. Press the "(M)" part of the button to use merge load clothing preset.
