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.

I use symlinks for that. All vars are outside of VAM directory. Check https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html for easy symlink creation.
Symlinks are cool but not what I'm needing. I am asking if the program can support finding the dependencies necessary to load a VAR error free from a path instead of just the Hub.
Just heard about this marvelous plugin and read the overview but dont fully understand if by using the plugin scene browser if I select a scene it will load all dependencies when they might be offloaded to the AllPackages folder?
Be great to get a comprehensive list of what this does and maybe its there on the overview page, or in these 8 pages of discussion but lately I've been getting 3 hours of sleep a night and mind sloggy.
Thanks!

You don't use VAM's native scene browser or hub browser - you use those delivered by plugin. You can have great number of vars outside of VAM, without var browser VAM cannot see them, using var browser allows to install each of the var with all dependencies. This is best what you can use if you're var greedy maniac

Thanks for the helpful reply @kretos, I think I heard you say, using the plugin's var browser, I can select any scene outside of VAM and load it with one click on the scene which also loads all its dependencies?
I'm DEFINATELY a var greedy maniac and want to try this if it makes loading a scene and all it's dependencies as easy as a click or two

This is the most useful tool of all, an exceptional work on a great concept. Having a ton of files but the lightness of emptiness.
I would have liked a shortcut to the brower and not need to add it each time VAM starts in the session plugin (maybe there is a solution?).
Also to be able to put in Auto Install a Creator to not have to do the manipulation on each file, especially for clothes for example.
Thanks for the work and sharing!
Is it better to organize your vars by creator or is it better not to classify them?

Apologies if this is me being too stupid, but the instructions talk about a DLL, and I have no idea where it is. I've downloaded both the Bepinex, and VAR browser zip, and none contains a DLL.
Any pointer would be great.

Organizing by creator is pointless because you have creator in the name... So filtering everywhere by creator is super easy. I don't know what you mean by "shortcut to the browser" or "Auto install a creator". You can specify vars that are loaded automatically at vam start. And var browser offers gui that shows after vam starts...
zip contains DLL inside... You have to extract it.
When I play in VR, every time I start it is necessary to go to Edit mode, add a session plugin, add 'var brawser' then scenes.
Having the plugin always installed would be great, and the scene button in the main menu.
Installing a creator, I mean installing all the scenes of the same creator at once and all the dependencies with it.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you aren't seeing the vars you loaded through var browser in BrowserAssist? If so, in BrowserAssist menu at the top right, reload vars and you should see everything you installed with var browser. You have to do this every time you install anything through var browser for it to show in BrowserAssist.
"install anything through var browser" How can I do that? If I want to update my session plugin (BrowserAssist) What steps should I take?
Also can I use BrowserAssist to load a scene, look etc instead of Var browser? I'm confusing.

All your vars have to be installed through var browser first to be used, once they are installed through var browser they work normally and all you have to do to make scenes, appearances, etc, appear in Browser Assist is click the reload button at the top right of its menu. So for example, say you install an appearance preset through var browser, after you do that just click reload in Browser Assist and you can see the appearance now. You'll have to do that anytime you install anything new through var browser if you want it to appear in Browser Assist menu. To install stuff with var browser click one of the buttons in its menu. For example, click the scene button under Category then find a scene you want to install, click the scene itself or the cogwheel icon in the lower right of the scene's thumbnail. Once you click on the scene or click the install button, it will install the scene and all its dependencies.
If you want to switch the Browser Assist version, under Misc in the var browser menu, click All then type in Browser Assist and find the newest version and click on it or click the cogwheel and install it. You can also set it to auto-install or favorite it so it stays installed in case you decide to use the uninstall all option to reduce the number of vars you have installed.

If you save a scene or character preset then use the ''Uninstall All' option in the var menu, any vars that were used in the scene or preset will be loaded when you install it again through var browser.
If you're asking if other clothes, skins, morphs, etc will appear automatically without you installing them through var browser first, no. I still haven't figured out how to install morphs specifically, but everything else can be installed through var browser then used normally and anything you create and save that uses those vars will be automatically installed next time you uninstall then reinstall whatever it was that you created because they're now dependencies.

Np, I was a bit confused myself when I first started using var browser lol, but once you fiddle with it a bit it's pretty straight forward.You are absolute legend for dummy like me. Thank you. Kind soul

Hi!
Why are those extra dlls files in the bepinbex folder of v0.15? The plugin page doesnt talk about those. Are they necessary?

Can I ask a question? Suddenly this error came up. Normally I could load the clothes in the allpackage through the preset, but when I got this error it prevented me from loading the clothes from the preset.
I tried replacing BepInEx and reinstalling the plugin, but that didn't fix the problem. (the error occurs every time I press refresh or rescan)

Solve !! It seems like I can find a way to fix it. All you have to do is move all the files in AddonPackages back to the AllPackages folder (I'm not sure how this error happened. But it seems like it happened by pressing clear cache or changing cache location)
Im having the same problem, do I need to toggle auto-install for every var? And will that slow down VAM?
