File (Open/Save)
”New Scene” loads the “default.json” file located inside your VaM install “\Saves\scene\MeshedVR” folder. If you want to load your own default scene you can place your own file named “default.json” inside the root “\Saves\scene” folder. Overwriting the original MeshedVR file is not recommended because it may be overwritten when repairing or updating the VaM install.
”New Empty Scene” Creates a new scene containing only a “PlayerNavigationPanel” and a “WindowCamera”
”Open Package Manager” Opens the Add-On Package Manager. A convenient way to manage the custom content you have created locally or downloaded from the VaMHub.
”Load” Opens the “Select Scene To Load” window. The scene when loaded will be in “Play” mode. See
Saving and Loading for more info.
”Load Scene in Edit Mode” Opens the “Select Scene To Load” window. The scene when loaded will be in “Edit” mode. See
Saving and Loading for more info.
”Online Browser” Opens the legacy online browser with options to take you to VaMHuB, VaM Resources Directory, or reddit.com/r/VAMscenes/

”Merge Load Scene” Merges in the assets from the selected scene into your current scene. A few rules to keep in mind when merging:
- A VaM scene can only have one camera and one PlayerNavigation Panel. The merged file will always overwrite the current settings. Multiples can exist in the same scene if you start renaming things. However they start to fight for dominance and then they start peeing everywhere, it’s a mess. Don’t do it.
- If any atoms in the current scene have identical names to what is being merged they will adopt the loaded atom’s properties. This is very handy when you want to show progression with characters in your scenes without having to completely reload the scene.
”Save Scene” Opens the “Select Save File” window.
