Bug fix. And debug logging

Bug fix:
------------------------------------
1. [Person plugin mode] Fixed an issue where scene load restore didn't wait for all clothing items to load
2. [Person plugin mode] Fixed an issue where when selecting clothing after shader is selected, the shader properties are not applied.

Added debug logging support to help with diagnosis of potential bugs in the future because C# is hard and I am dumb

How to trigger debug logs:

1. rename the...

Thanks for the quick updates! Just tested the new version, but still got same-ish error after loading:

I attached the 2 log files (high debug). The 1st one is where I added plugin to person, selected shader, saved the scene and closed vam. And 2nd debug log is right after loading the scene.
If you need me to do more testing hit me up! I will be happy to help!

Thanks! I kind of knew this is still going to be there. Let me look into this.

Although despite the error, do you see the plugin properly loaded and all the shader properties applied?

Sorry I see you already has the log file provided. Let me check those. Thanks for help with debug!

Ok just looking at the log I think the plugin just need to wait for the skin to load before doing anything. It kind of surprises me but apparently there is a window when character is loaded but the skin is not. It never happens on my end so I can't really verify it. But the fix shouldn't take long I'll post later tonight or tomorrow
Again thanks for taking the time testing and provide the debug log!

Ah, sorry for the late response, went to bed a bit earlier than usual. The plugin itself looked loaded with the shader attached, but it wasn't working. Also, all the values were reset to default.

Didn't know about the skin loading after the character either, but this makes sense! I have VAM on an SSD, but I'm using an older CPU (3700X), so the loading process takes a bit longer, which probably causes this error.

And no problem, super happy to help! Thank you too for making such a beautiful resource and for being so responsive!

Hi can you download the updated var from here and give it a test?


Let me know.

Thanks
 
lovin the plugin, but running into an issue on V4 where it's breaking on multiple actors having the plugin active. Only wants to be 'active' on one actor at a time

Nevermind, just a bug on live swapping versions on a scene - resolved with relaunch

Updates and fixes

I don't think these change are intrusive, so old presets and scenes should still work, although I have not done much testing on this latest version. If it is breaking your existing preset please revert to previous version and report the bug to me. Thanks!


Bug Fixes
----------------------------
1. Fixed an issue where texture load from properties UI not working
2. Fixed an issue where CUA manager preset doesn't restore saved settings...

Hey any update on getting this to work on Male atoms too? I think this would be great for passthrough, I already made a mono color shader but I can only apply it to Female Atoms.

What would you use it in passthrough for?
 
What would you use it in passthrough for?
To hide the Male Atom in addition to the background. Without a custom shader, the color of the atom is affected by the lighting. With a custom shader you can make the male atom the same color as the background, ignoring lighting.

You can just use goinggoinggone plugin to make male atom invisible. Its what i use, and then possess, so i can physicaly interact with the female character in passthrough.
