Hi Guest!
We have recently posted a VaM2 2024 Progress Update on Patreon!
Check out the details here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/vam2-august-2024-111164439 -
Hi Guest!
We are excited to announce a new feature on the Hub: Favorites!
You can now add resources to your favorites, and organize your favorites into collections! You can check out the details in our official announcement!

- Start date
So currently the only way is to use Mult select to select all resources with that Tag. Create a new Tag and assign it to all selected resources. Remove the old tag. The old tag will be deleted the next time BrowserAssist restarts.
I do intend to add more granular control of Tags via the PluginUI at some point - including renaming and purging unused tags.
It depends how many VAR files and local files you have under Custom and Saves folder. I have about 3400 VARs and roughly the same number of local files. It loads in less than 15 seconds for me. I've got a high spec machine with nvme - but yours looks pretty kick ass too.
I'd be interested in doing some diagnostics to understand why it's taking so long on your machine. As you say, if it's slow for you its likely to be for other too.

Renaming tags would be awesome! Like others have already said, this is a gamechanger plugin
Thanks a lot, this is a big improvement over the vanilla.
I don't know if it's already possible but there a way to distinguish in the list which scenes are missing dependencies and which ones are complete and ready to run?
I'm always having headache trying to fix these missing files and at the end don't even know if it's for scenes I want to run or not.

It isnt currently possible to do that, but it might be something I could do in the future.
Hmm, I've not noticed that. Can you tell me what exact version you are using e.g. the VAR name and number. Also what hardware do you have and what is the fps dropping from and to.
Are you sure its my plugin and not something else? Simply clicking enable on and off on the plugin and checking frame rates should confirm if its my plugin or not - but presumably you've already done that?
Would be amazing, as a new user an easy way to fix missing files only on scenes I want to run would be my top loved feature.
Thx for reply
That's now available in v1.4: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/browserassist.19622/Deleting my own local scenes I can already do from the native gui so I'm fine. Deleting the var file (that I just downloaded) is exactly what I will need to do in explorer so I dont see why it would be more problematic in a plugin.. a var that has to go has to go no matter the tool used or the dependencies. Why not hide? I constantly download looks and scenes from patreon or the hub in search of gems or ideas and I want to remove the crap (not hide it). save disk space. reduce number of files. remove var that looks like child porn.... at this point I'd be happy with a look/scene browser plugin with 2 buttons (exit and delete VAR).

Thanks for the updating and great work! I had the version 9 and it updated without problem to the last version. After the update I saw your instructions about deleting the local resource filers and VAR packages. I haven't done that but your plugin works alright. Is it necessary to delete those files?
Do you mean with the var files , the old plugin var? (In my case JayJayWon.BrowserAssist(Free).9,var) Which other var file do we need the delete?
And do you mean with the resource files the location : ...Vam\Saves\PluginData\JayJayWon\BrowserAssist ? There are along with the old files, modified files too which was updated by the new version. Do I need to delete them all?

Ha, sorry. Those aren't meant to be instructions. They are a list of new features that the plugin can now do. I've hopefully made it a bit clearer now, but essentially there are new options to be able to delete files and VARs directly from the BrowserAssist UI.
@cmramlow - apologies, somehow I responded to the wrong message there! Must have been studying your system specs too hard!
@Pentheus - above response was aimed at you.

I've never heard of that, so no idea what it is.
I know that probably you wouldn't benefit from making it work, but just so you know...
Its this plugin (https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/faster-vam-hot-load-supported.7961/)that allows you to change the folder where your "var" files stay and makes VAM works much faster with initial boot. I think would be great if the two where compatible.

Hi @JayJayWon , I'm having some issues with the batch to enable favorites. I had it working in my old PC but I've built a new one and just copied my entire VaM folder to a new hard drive and now I can't get it to work. I already tried the Remove batch and tried to delete BASettings.cfg and SymLinks folder but no matter how many times I run the Create batch it's still greyed out ingame. Any idea how to fix this ?
Did you restart BrowserAssist after running the bat file? What format of file system are you using - it needs to be NTFS and not FAT?

Yes I've restarted the plugin and even the game. My main drive is still NTFS, the only thing that changed is that before I was using Windows 10 and now I'm using Windows 11. Even the path of the VaM folder is still the same (C:/Games/VaM) and I am running the bat as administrator.
So you say you "tried" to delete the SymLinks folder - did you succeed?

I can delete it just fine but running the bat doesn't create it again. If that's what is supposed to happen I don't know why it doesn't
Can you try running it for in a cmd prompt window, so you can see any error messages generated.I can delete it just fine but running the bat doesn't create it again. If that's what is supposed to happen I don't know why it doesn't
Also, are you running it as an Administrator user?I can delete it just fine but running the bat doesn't create it again. If that's what is supposed to happen I don't know why it doesn't

I figured it out. For some reason right-clicking the bat and choosing to run as administrator does not actually run it as administrator. Launching cmd.exe as administrator and then running the bat from there worked and it fixed the favorites being greyed out.
No idea why this happens but it must be a Win11 thing, didn't have this problem when I was using Win10.
