VaM 1.x Too many dependencoes for my character
Atani summarized pretty much the reason(s). Well know/love creators does not mean best practices all the time. For instance, the "don't create a scene" is a best practice to not enter a deep discussion about why. But it's quite simple: scenes can result in dozens of dependencies. Unless you...- hazmhox

High Quality physics and its effects?
Probably a fluke :p No one should use HQ physics, it is not "slightly" more expensive contrary to what has been said, it's WAY more expensive. -
Solved Do we need "all dependencies" vs. only "direct dependencies"?
It is not enough : ) Unless you know exactly if a dependency does not need the sub-dependency, it's highly likely you will need them if you load the content from that specific dependency at some point. But this is a situation you can test yourself. No one here can tell you what you wanna keep...- hazmhox

VaM 1.x Too many dependencoes for my character
How do you share the character? Appearance preset? If not (like a scene) don't, use appearance preset. But overall : Create a character with zero clothes. Naked is the way to go to reduce the dependencies. Just suggest potential "free/CC-BY" usage through screenshots in your release. Prefere...- hazmhox

VaM 1.x How to mitigate the wrinkles of normal textures?
It's because you're adding two values together, which makes the final vectors far more aggressive than if they were individual normal maps. The only solution for that is to update the normals to only keep the details you want and then control their intensity. Decal Maker allows you to tweak the... -
VaM 1.x Use more than single audio inside the same atom ?
That's very subjective in terms of implementation. We generally have one source because most people will only need one. We have no idea what people will come up with, so generally when you want to extend the way something works, you let people code their own things. To be honest, if I'm looking...- hazmhox

VaM 1.x Use more than single audio inside the same atom ?
Hey! Be kind silly goose :p One shots are sounds that are "instanciated" on the fly inside the scene using a source as a reference. When the sound is played, it's simply "there", you have pretty much (almost) no control over it, contrary to something played on an AudioSource. It is not :p As...- hazmhox

Plugins + Scripts VAMStory
VAMS and pretty much all my recent plugins do not (and won't) support subscenes. -

Scenes Beyond The Aquila Rift
I don't think nicho is ever gonna update his scenes, you'll need to fix the file yourself. There is one single file in the .var and the scene refers to it dynamically, it's not a URL. And there's only a single song. -
Plugins + Scripts VAMMoan 2 (teaser)
I probably will release VAMExcite which is the "brother" plugin of VAMM2 that allows it to work in interactive mode ^^ -
Plugins + Scripts Studio Maestro
hey supperGR! You don't bother me ;) You get this error because you modified your .var structure. The way .var files are in a single folder is the way VAM works "vanilla", so SM is checking the files where they should be, ie: at the root of AddonPackages. Put MacGruber's essentials where it... -
Plugins + Scripts VAMMoan 2 (teaser)
Probably at some point. I'm quite busy atm : ) -
Plugins + Scripts VAMStory
It exists already in VAMS : ) Tools > Mini saves or Mini saves value. Mini saves just checks for a file, so it's like a true/false thing. Mine saves value gets a value from a file and can be read by a plugin like VUML. The tools are just a way to "know" a state, you only need to drive your... -
Plugins + Scripts VAMStory
Umh weird! I'll take a look : ) Thank you for the report. -
Plugins + Scripts VAMMoan 2 (teaser)
Audio is played through a component. You can't overlap sounds on a component, you play one sound at the time. You can use "one shots" to compensate, but you lack control of the sound with that technic. So the idea would be to play your sounds on another source. Plugins won't be able to stack tho : ) -
Plugins + Scripts VAMMoan 2 (teaser)
Why would you do that? :p And no. If you want to swap the behavior mid scene, use presets : ) -
Plugins + Scripts Crowd Generator
Animation is quite a complex subject, but you should look for animation controllers tutorials on youtube. You should find what you're looking for. : D -
Plugins + Scripts VAMCCD - Custom clothing decals
Umh, that might be because you have your texture right at the border of the file. Always have a 2 to 4 pixel margin on texture, it's better when you don't want repeating stuffs and avoid that kind of bleed in some situations. -
Plugins + Scripts VAMMoan 2 (teaser)
The system where you load your audio files? Never. Use VAMM2 to do that : )
