1. Say there's a scene I like, but I don't like the location and want to move this scene somewhere but keep the controls and buttons, how to do that? For example, I want this scene to load in with this map with controls and everything. Is it possible?
2. When I save girl preset via general\appearance preset and I tried both, they don't save the hair and their hair does not appear in "Hair" tab. The girl loads completely bald.
3. When saving model with Alternative.futa it won't save the plugin whether it's general\appearance preset, I had to load plugin every time I load the model. How to save it permanently IN the model?
4. I just want to load model's complete appearance, which is appropriate? what's the difference between"Appearance Preset", "General Preset" or "Legacy Presets" under Controls & Physics menu?
5. When I load pose preset of her being animated, it won't be animated, it'll just stay still.

No. (If you count on pretty much doing nothing)

Not normal. Appearance presets should save everything. Verify the integrity of VAM or redownload it.


3. When saving model with Alternative.futa it won't save the plugin whether it's general\appearance preset, I had to load plugin every time I load the model. How to save it permanently IN the model?

Controls & Physics Tab 1 > Save Preset


4. I just want to load model's complete appearance, which is appropriate?

Appearance presets. Don't use legacy pose in Physics tab 1. General preset is global (everything in the character, see previous question).



5. When I load pose preset of her being animated, it won't be animated, it'll just stay still.

Animation implies a plugin or scripting. Saving a character will not save the whole logic of animating a character. And a pose is a pose, not an animation.

Then how do you save an animation and load it somewhere else?

Generally it's the Timeline plugin. Export the animation in Timeline and import it in another scene. Then play it.


What does your 1st answer mean?

It means that you can't do that without fully scripting/editing the scene. Since you're asking that question, you obviously don't know much about VAM and probably don't know much about game dev either (which could help you "realize" what would be needed to make a change like this).

More or less, what you "think" you could do (swapping an enviro into an existing scripted and animated scene) in a couple of actions is not possible. Doing that requires a deeper knowledge of VAM editing and scripting, understanding how you'd reposition characters, accounting for collisions, reorganizing UI and so on...

That being said, if your question was just "is it possible", yes anything is possible. I just tried to read between the lines, these kind of questions generally imply a "can I do this in 2 clicks" sort of perception of a VAM scene ;)
