VaM 1.x Publish look with Hairstyle preset included on appearance load

[ErrorC9]

Hello, so I published my first look for VAM with a hairstyle and a 'style preset'. Everything loads correctly but the style preset.

So when I downloaded the look on a fresh install everything turned out great but the hairstyle is just the standard one 'unstyled/brushed'.

The same happens when I load the appearance preset. The hair is just 'unstyled' and I have to apply the preset manually via the 'Hair' and 'Preset' tabs.

How do I include the styled hair in the file to publish and also to automatically load as a default when loading in the appearance?

I haven't messed with hair presets, but looking at your var there's no hair preset file present in the file list. You might have to manually add the preset files to the list of files in the packager.

Also, the hairstyle you've chosen isn't actually available for download on the Hub, so when others download your resource to a fresh install, there won't be any hair on the model at all. (I've reached out to the creator to see if they'd like to host that hair on the hub, but I haven't heard back yet)

Yeap Ash is right.
But it's weird you did not had any warning on the packaging. As a missing file will warn you that you need to include it.

Ah thanks for the info. Yeah there wasn't a warning that it's missing on the hub.

How do you guys include your styled hair in your publishing? Do you style the hair and then create a NEW Hair file with it? or do you put the preset inside the var?

A warning "in the packager", not on the hub ^^
Generally the packager will always tell you that you created this or that dependency and will ask for you to include it.

If you're using a preset you made, simply include the preset files into the var you're publishing.
This is only valid if you want people to actually use the preset (and is for instance, very very different from the original)... but presets are absolutely not needed as hair settings are stored into the scene or into your appearance anyway.
