• Happy Holidays Guest!

    We want to announce that we will be working at reduced staffing for the holidays. Specifically Monday the 23rd until Jan 2nd.

    This will affect approval queue times and responses to support tickets. Please adjust your plans accordingly and enjoy yourselves this holiday season!

  • Hi Guest!

    Please be aware that we have released a critical security patch for VaM. We strongly recommend updating to version 1.22.0.7 using the VaM_Updater found in your installation folder.

    Details about the security patch can be found here.

The standard VaM UI Button should stays visible. Can you link a scene where these things happen so I can take a look?
I think there are 3rd party plugins for custom UIs. Have not looked into those yet. There is a good chance these will hide - depends on what atom type these UI elements are based on. Filtering and keeping all kind of (custom) UI stuff is tricky.
atom-linked hair pieces and body parts
I assume those are CUA (Custom Unity Assets). That should be an easy fix. These kind of bugs are exactly the reason why I do not upload this as release yet and testing from others on all kinds of content is important. I rarely use CUAs and would have never stumbled upon this. For fans of stylized characters I know they get used a lot for hair, wings, horns and similar stuff.

Yes, they are cua's.
This is the scene i tried. :X
 
Works perfectly now! I can switch from my messy script :D
So now the only piece that I couldn't figure out is: how to apply background color to person atoms (e.g. only to a male in the scene) but in a way the lighting doesn't add shadows.
If your intention is to make the male the correct colour so he becomes effectively invisible there is already a free plugin called transparency that you can just add to any person atom and it gives you alpha toggles for the character either completely or for different parts. I only found it yesterday after trying to make skin passthrough colour without success.
 
Sally Whitemane updated Camera Background Color with a new update entry:

Version 6

Changes:
(to previous "Version 5 experimental 2" only)
  • CUAs that have a linked Rigidbody will now be excluded for the 'Render'-toggle. So CUA hair, wings or anything linked to a person stays visible.
  • Added missing "UISlider" to the list of atom types to exclude by default.
  • The 'Render'-toggle now generates a filter for each atom on the right side of the UI. Use them to manually toggle atom visibility. This filter list will not stay in sync if you add or...

yep I know this plugin but check the link I added to my post.
 
Sally Whitemane updated Camera Background Color with a new update entry:

Version 7

  • When using the experimental 'Render'-toggle (Control + R) in scenes with VAMStory- or VAMCUI-UI by hazmhox this plugin will now detect them on each atom and they will stay visible. (show-filter is enabled by default).
  • known bug:
    The combined use of some UI-plugins and the experimental 'Render'-toggle can cause the standard VAM-UI to partially disappear...

Hello Sally, thx for your good work. Unfortunately your plugin is not running anymore, after the new patch update to VaM 1.22.0.4. I would appreciate to use your camerabackgroundcolor plugin again.
 
Edit: 1.22.0.6 patch for VAM is out, all plugins are working again

@Detrolio
Thanks for letting me now. Not sure I would have noticed the VAM update without the forums alert function.

At the moment it looks like the 1.22.0.4 broke many plugins because the function REDACTED() got restricted with the security changes.
Usually it's code that creators typically use for buttons that link to documentation or Patreon. Because that's no longer allowed it now fails to load the plugins.

Fortunately it's very easy to fix. It's just annoying that so many plugins are affected by this change.
I do have an update ready. But the VAM Developers are aware of the situation and it seems better to wait and see what they do:

Meanwhile I will rollback too.
