Plugins Cue

This update is backward compatible. Replace the existing via5.Cue.3.var file.

I now have a Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/via5. Note that my plugins will always be free and open-source. There are no benefits in subscribing to my Patreon except to show your support.

New features

• Adding Cue for the first time in a scene will load default options from Custom\PluginData\Cue\Default.json. This file can be updated by clicking Save as default... at the bottom of the Options tab.
• New Excited animation. For now, it only randomly morphs the hands into fists at high excitement.
• New personality None. Disables everything, including expressions, animations and all events. It basically makes Cue ignore this character.
• New hand animation when linked to breasts, chest, back or belly. For now, it only randomly moves the hand and fingers slightly.
• Custom menu items:
  • Added toggles with checked/unchecked actions.
  • Menu items can be reordered.
• Added a special case for DeeperVaginaTrigger: when active, the character behaves as if penetration was active (Cue normally ignores triggers). This could be used for something like a remote vibrator, for example.

Changes

• Hand linking is now checked even when Freeze Motion/Sound is enabled. Links are also restored when a scene is loaded.
• Slightly increased kissing distance with player. A future fix will take scale into account.
• Added eyes roll up expression.
• Shy, Annoyed, Angry: Excitement will need to be much higher to get moaning.
• Shy: Will now tend to look away for low excitement.

Fixes

• Offset the desktop UI to the left when the performance monitor is visible.
• Fixed a few cases where toys didn't raise excitement
• Fixed moaning during kissing or BJ even if the minimum excitement setting was low.
• Reduced some log spam.

Note that the the hub page for Cue now only has partial documentation. The complete documentation is available on the wiki on Github.

New features

• Sleeping personality. Will set all joints to off when selected unless the Load pose option is unchecked.
• Added custom targets for gaze.
• Finish button. Will make characters involved with the player climax and then disable all events. There's a new Finish tab in the options to control what happens.
• Added a surprised mood, which allows for a few new expressions.
• Grabbing the neck will prevent a character from breathing, which affects skin colour, expressions and voices. Can be disabled in the options.
• Anus now raises excitement.

Fixes

• Activating both hands when they target different characters should work correctly.
• BJ audio now works for VAMMoan v20+.
• Audio will unmute when possession is cancelled.
• Orgasm sound wasn't playing while kissing.
• The desktop menu background overlay is now correctly hidden when disabling Cue.
• Trib should always start even if the genitals are not touching anything.
• Collisions were not detected if they were already active when Cue was loaded.
• Hair and body were not reapplied when re-enabling Cue.
• Hand linking should be slightly more accurate.

Changes

• Renamed Mouth to Head
• Better handling of dark or high saturation skin colours for body temperature.
• The skin colour is now reset when disabling Cue, which allows for changing the colour. Cue will pick up the new colour when re-enabled.
• Reduced auto hands start distance, now takes scale into account.
• Shy personality: will look down and avoid player with medium-low excitement.
• Thrust animation:
  • Much higher damping for receiver so their hips don't move too much.
  • Fixed bad angles with high excitement
  • Faster animation at high excitement
• Moved Strapon option to plugin UI, in the character's tab.
• Added options to disable left/right hand for Divining Rod.

New options

• Disable auto head.
• Max excitement setting per character.
• Added many parameters and triggers:
  • Parameters for all menu options: Hand, Head, Thrust, Trib and Can kiss.
  • Parameters for each mood. To set a mood parameter, the corresponding ForceValue must be set to true.
  • Action parameter for orgasm.
  • Start and end triggers for all events with options to disable corresponding animations. This allows for replacing Cue animations with custom ones.

Fixed freeze with soft body physics

Features

• Cue can now detect when body parts are rubbing against each other and at what velocity, so excitement will rise automatically during penetration if there's enough movement.
• Running the thrust event is still more robust because excitement will always continue to rise even if body parts become misaligned and stop touching, which happens often for tribadism.
• Excitement will now rise correctly with toys
• Auto hands and head: moving hands or head close to genitals will start the appropriate event, can be disabled in options; each hand is independent and will start/stop if necessary after being grabbed and move. Limitations:
  • HJ with both hands on the same target is currently disabled because it doesn't usually work well
  • HJs with both hands but on two different targets is also disabled because the ClockwiseSilver plugin doesn't support it; a future version of Cue might add two instances of the plugin and control them independently
• Hand linker: now uses a custom, internal implementation managed by Cue instead of VaM's Parent Link connection, and so can link more precisely to targets; this also fixes body parts being difficult to move in Play Mode (because VaM ignores controllers that are linked when multiple body parts overlap)
• Integration with ToumeiHitsuji's DiviningRod: genitals are always enabled, but hands and mouth are disabled unless the corresponding event is started
• Voice: supports kissing an bj sounds from VAMMoan, can be disabled in options
• Orgasms are synced across multiple characters when excitement is close enough
• New personalities: annoyed and angry
• Reorganised options into several tabs, added more:
  • Treat strapon as physical for excitement
  • Enable look at camera
  • Disable idle animation
• Zap: some actions like the player touching genitals can "zap" a character, triggering head movements, expressions and moans
• Slap: thrust animation now drives some facial expressions on each thrust, might make noises in a future update

Changes

• Advanced colliders are now required
• Idle animation has more movement
• Removed most voice settings from Cue, caused more problems than anything
• HJ/BJ speed now changes based on excitement and have slightly more movements
• Many tweaks to thrust animation
• eyeTargetControl now always hidden because it was often in the way, can only be selected from the person's Select menu
• Devmode only: all targets that are off are now hidden in play mode

Fixes

• Many fixes for excitement not rising when it should; characters should be much more responsive now
• Many fixes for gaze getting stuck or not responding to emergencies like orgasms or head grabs
• Fixed head and hands snapping after kiss, hj or bj animations
• Detect Embody passenger mode to disable head movements
• Sucking finger should trigger less often
• Fixed hands being closed too often and morphs still being driven after the hands are attached to something
• Fixed multiple strapons in the same scene only working for one

Features:

• Now uses VAMMoan from hazmhox instead of MacGruber's Life for breathing and voices. Life is still required for gazing. The plugin preset includes VAMMoan, but it can be added manually to atoms for existing scenes. Cue will automatically disable Life's Breathing and DriverBreathing scripts so they don't interfere with VAMMoan.
• New menu options in the options, Menu tab:
  • The VR menu can be disabled on the left or right hand
  • Added a delay before showing the VR menu, defaults to 0.5 seconds
  • Custom buttons with standard triggers can be added to the menu
• Added buttons in the "Main" options tab to export and import the options

Changes:

• Females with advanced colliders disabled are handled correctly
• Disabled voice pitch being automatically based on scale, wasn't reliable
• Cleaned up the desktop HUD
• Characters will prefer looking forwards when gazing at random targets, prevents looking straight down or up for no reason
• Increased the distance when attempting to start a Hand event; makes it less likely to get a "no target" message, but the hand might find unexpected targets
• Slightly slower max speed for the thrust animations
• Added in a few more expressions from AshAuryn and cotyounoyume, if available

Fixes:

• Fixed some animations not stopping properly during orgasms
• Some options would not show the correct value after loading a scene

• Excitement would still be going up after hand is deactivated if it was the right hand on male genitals.
• Tentative fix for the VR menu not being functional on some controllers.
• Male characters would not have their excitement go up if the thrust was activated on the female during penetration.
• Added a global excitement speed in the options.
• Desktop: moved the hud to the right side of the window, it will now be hidden when the UI is hidden.
• Desktop: stopped changing selected character when clicking atoms in the scene.
• Added a new "Debug input" tab in dev mode to help diagnose problems with the VR menu.
