    VaM 1.x Help with Foot issue

    Was the morph created outside Vam, like in Daz, or Blender? I can't see how you could cause that just by spinning dials in Vam. It looks like a rigging issue.

    VaM 1.x How would I go about editing textures to blend with built in skins?

    With different complete face textures, there can be an issue with seams. That's why I suggested decals, because you feather them away to 0 at the edges, so they could work on a variety of skins. There are plenty of makeup decals done that way. There are lots of textures by Riddler, RenVR...

    VaM 1.x Thoughts on competing community standards regarding large dependencies and duplication

    As an experiment, I recently released a look with just nude appearance presets, and a separate release of clothing presets for that character. I didn't get many downloads of either, but they were pretty balanced. That says that almost everybody who wanted the look wanted the clothing too. These...

    VaM 1.x How would I go about editing textures to blend with built in skins?

    The built-in skins in Vam can't be extracted from the game. That was part of the deal with Daz when Meshed bought the rights to use them in the game. You would be better off starting with some of the many CC-BY textures available on the hub. Those you can extract, modify and redistribute. You...

    VaM 1.x Help with Foot issue

    Did you use the Morph merge and split plugin to create the final look? You should always put the model in the T-pose before doing the merge, and always exclude pose morphs when doing the merge. If some random pose morph gets baked into the look, then any other pose will have issues.

    Request for Men's Wears

    @WeebUVR makes a lot of this kind of stuff. Anything that fits regular Futas will fit males.

    Scenes Infinite Dance Motions

    As stated above, the scene provides 8 slots for songs. Initially, all are set to the music included with the scene. You have to change one of them to the one you added to Scene music. You have the right flow up to 9b where you click on that and choose the one you added to Scene music. Then you...

    VaM 1.x Implementing VR-friendly interface and mechanics in scenes

    My only comment on this so far is about hotkeys. Please don't ever use standard alphanumeric keys as hotkeys. F2, F3, F11, F12 are the safest ones. Nothing irritates me more than trying to type something while modding a scene, and BAM, all of a sudden I'm in Embody mode. Spacebar as a hotkey is...

    VaM 1.x "clean" delete duplicate, and re-arrange VAR files help.

    My updated version of the list all dependencies script may help. You need to have Python installed to run it. I use this a lot to figure out vars that nothing else depends on. https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/script-for-listing-all-dependencies.55165/post-215151

    VaM 1.x Automatic references in Add-on Package Builder

    You should use LoadPresetWithPath instead. The Package Builder automatically corrects it to point to the var it's building. You have to include the pose preset in the var too. What you'll see in the scene.json is SELF:/Custom/Atom/Person/Pose/something.vap.

    VaM 1.x "clean" delete duplicate, and re-arrange VAR files help.

    A lot of creators repackaged existing resources for their own convenience, probably to avoid having a dependency that might be removed and break their scene or look. Vam does have a terrible problem with duplicate resources. There is no simple fix. You could start by figuring out which vars you...

    Scenes Infinite Dance Motions

    Mega links are notorious for using the # in link text that doesn't always work. If it doesn't work, just paste the text. I notice that when you start the dancing, the mood always goes back to angry, even if happy had been selected before. You have to use the UI to switch to happy while she's...

    VaM 1.x What to do with depended plugins in different versions?

    The default mode in Vam is for plugins to always use exact, and most other resources to use latest. It's not something a creator normally changes. There's a tradeoff here. If you delete (or move to a holding area) all the old versions, then every scene that used those old versions will have...

    Scenes Loving Embrace

    Yeah, Pella is a keeper! This scene really needs a reset button. You want us to be able to play it more than once, don't you? :devilish:

    Scenes Aurore: Professional Cocksucker (ThroatSFX demo)

    In Package manager, you can add a directory and it takes everything in that directory. Unless you have AddonPackages/AddonPackages in your Vam folder, the paths are all incorrect. I did a global edit on the scene file, and a simple character deletion on the meta.json. Files inside a var should...

    Scenes Aurore: Professional Cocksucker (ThroatSFX demo)

    The issue with the scene is the scene packaging, not the ThroatSFX var. The paths in the scene file should not refer to AddonPackages/Geraldo.ThroatSFX.1.var. All paths in the scene should look like Geraldo.ThroatSFX.1:Custom/Sounds/ThroatSFX/1.mp3 and so on. The meta.json should list...

    Scenes Infinite Dance Motions

    Good explanation. I recorded a video of this scene, and put it on Mega, but either Mega or the hub won't let me embed it.

    Scenes Infinite Dance Motions

    You have to add the music file to Scene Audio, which is one of the main tabs in the UI. Then, follow the directions posted by @pinosante above. You also need to know the BPM of the song. You probably have to use an external program to find that out. I use Audacity, which is free.

    Solved Maybe I'm not tech savvy enough?

    You should have started a new thread, or searched more thoroughly for the same error. Most likely you have a corrupted var file. That "Cannot find central directory" message says Vam can't even read the file. Delete it and re-download it. Anytime you have a var that might be suspect, open it in...

    VaM 1.x Optimizing VaM to reduce loading times

    A couple of things. Having lots of morph packs definitely slows down Vam on invoke. A lot of looks have the Preload morphs box checked, when they shouldn't have. If you use Package manager to examine all your vars (tedious), you can uncheck that box in User preferences. Any var that doesn't...
