Wiki Article 12. Session Plugins

Session Plugins​

The session plugins panel is the place to add plugins that will be loaded each time that you start a session of VAM.

This panel is used in tandem with the session plugin presets tab to configure plugins and set them to your preference each time that VAM is started. Therefore, simply loading the plugins here is only one step in a two-step process.

"Add Plugin will add a row in the session plugin list that gives you a slot in which to add and control a plugin. Selecting this button will create a new plugin slot. Please note that VAM will assign a designator for each plugin based upon the order of creation, the first designator being "plugin#0," as seen here.

"Select File" will open up a menu in which you can select the plugin that you wish to add to the session plugin slot.

"Select File" will open up a menu window to search for the plugin within your VAM directory.

"Reload" is a method that will repeat the loading action of the plugin to the session. This process may be helpful in resetting any temporary errors encountered with loading the plugin.


"Clear" erases all of the data in the plugin slot and provides a means to start over and select an alternative plugin.



"Remove" will delete the plugin slot from the list.

Just to be helpful, can you start your window wikis with a map to get the user to the window? I could not figure out how to get to "Sessions Plugins" until I realized I had to click the Edit Mode.
It doesn't have to be anything difficult, just a start at the baseUI menu->click this-> click that or if it's a scene, maybe a "open any scene"->click this->click that.
If you had time, an overall flowchart would be nice but that's just an idea. You've already got the Main UI and Base UI so a quick cheat sheet would be nice.
thanks!

It is expected the user to follow the hierarchy of these pages and/or look at the first item for an overall look of the category. There are breadcrumbs above the page title that shows the location of the page and as such the button location.

I updated the Main UI page to hopefully be easier to read. If you have trouble with the location of any button in the UI, please check the first item of the category you're in.
