Quick question about .var .vac

[Jean boisvert]

Is it true that EVERY .vac should be placed in addon and EVERY .var in scenes?? I have a lot of look that have some .vac in the custom/.../... folder, should I place them in the addon folder? And If I'm not sure of where to put a .vac, can I just save it everywhere it might be usefull without problems? Thanks

no

.var goes inside AddonPackages ONLY

.vac is legacy type of compiling content (it usually contains required stuff: custom/import morphs, sounds, assets, etc...)
.vac should go inside saves/scene/whatever
.vac is extracted on "ExampleScene.vac" load (inside same folder you placed it)
leaving .vac behind so you have duplicates (compiled .vac and extracted content)
