VaM 1.x A few questions from a beginner

[Zormut]

Hello everyeone, since VAMscenes got banned I have to reask it here (couldn't access the topic that I had)
I play VR and I've got a few questions that I couldn't find the answers to:

1. How to set up the rotation on a joystick? Like rotating around the character, or is there a plugin for it?

2. How to access (load) the apperances of the characters from other scenes without loading the whole scene and then saving their appearance?

3. I have a trouble with loading the embody plugin and sometimes EMBODY button shows the front part of the face and it blocks the view, any ways to fix this?

4. I really liked one map that had a minigame (where you have to click a thing right in time to progress the scene) can someone advise similar maps?

5. How to quickly swap characters in a position? (make one character do what the other was doing)

6. Whats some super valuable VR related plugin that is not well known?

7. Any lightweight maps that have a gameplay, talking, making choices?

8. And the last question, what are the other games that you would advise (since VaM is so hard to top)

Thanks!

1. Pressing the joystick button and moving the controller lets you rotate the camera or the world, something like that.
2. Natively you can't, if the creator didn't share an appearance preset in the VAR you need to make one first, which is also very useful if you intend to use it often or make changes. Plugins may be able to do that.
3. Check Embody options to disable facial hair and clothing
4. Wasn't a map, was a scene. No idea about scenes with mini games/progress, try searching.
5. You can't make instantly animations that don't exist. You can load the same appearance on the other person though.
6. Not well know by you can be well known for many others, and to do what?
7. Again, not maps but scenes. "Maps" here are environments, often a single CUA atom that shows an environment. Scenes are combinations of atoms, animations, sound, persons, everything you want. There's many of those, use search.
8. Similar to VAM? None. Everything else feels like rubbish compared to this unless you have very specific interests that game X or Y does.

I think Mary is somewhat lightweight (dependencies included).
There's also Spaceforce or any Spacedog scene.

But they are more scenaristic scenes than "making choices" scenes. You have somewhat a choice in Mary, but it's kind of a one way road and a linear story
