Release Notes:
Features:
- Add-On Packages System – Builder allows creating content for others to use. Manager allows managing packages full of content from others in an easy-to-use way. This is the future of content delivery and consumption in VaM!
- Improved file browsers, with new shortcuts system for easy access to add-on packages and other folders
- Improved memory management. Added button to unload inactive clothing and hair items to free memory. Skins now auto-unload when switching (can be disable to keep existing behavior of keeping inactive skins in memory)
- Improved character loading and preset loading. Much smoother transitions.
- Auto genital texture creation improvements: manual hue & saturation adjustments. Auto-generation of specular, gloss, and normal textures. Generated textures can be saved out for further refinement.
- ImagePanel* atoms – added ability to tile images and gifs
Content:
- Sample add-on packages from community providers. Special thanks to DJ, Jackaroo, JayC_Re-animator, NoOC, NoStage3, Vince, and Xstatic for allowing us to include their content!

- Two new male skins from Jackaroo: Lee and Julian
- New “Male Custom” skin from Jackaroo with source textures included in Custom/Atom/Person/Textures folder

- Hundreds of new male morphs
- Body tattoo options for Danika and Adrianna skins
- Added ImagePanelTransparent and ImagePanelTransparentEmissive atoms

Tweaks:

- Clothing and Hair items now show creator name and version number (for packaged items)
- Improved plugin error handling for easier debug
- Image thumbnails now have white background to better show transparent images
- ImagePanel* atoms now have Alpha Cutoff param for adjusting transparency cutoff value
Bug Fixes:

- Fixed issue with face and limbs custom normal textures not releasing memory when no longer used

- Fixed issue with creator name user preference not properly setting UI element on startup
- Fixed preset delete/rename
- Fixed issue where VR keyboard would not go away

2020-03-28 00:01:49 +0000 UTCHow do you load the new VAR files? I click the open scene button, and I only see VAC and JSON files. None of the new VAR files. I am running the latest version.

2020-03-26 02:54:00 +0000 UTCI was also wondering how an order should be created in which you can find something again. Or am I missing something?

2020-03-25 16:41:16 +0000 UTCMaybe I'm not fully understanding it but the package system is pretty confusing. So they're meant to be like a package that contains files that can end up in various places, like saves/scene/myScene.json, but when you actually go to saves/scene, the scene you expect to be there... isn't there? Instead, they seem like they're only accessible through the shortcuts panel on the left. What happens when you start accumulating hundreds of packages? That shortcuts panel will start to fill up a ton, and there's no searching through that? Am I missing something?

2020-03-22 07:26:30 +0000 UTCI'm having abit of an issue in 1.19 (creators) w10. After awhile of the character standing there, they begin to shake near the head, like up and down. Like a jittering sort of thing. To fix it, you just move the character root up or down a bit, and then it goes away for some time. It seems to happen sooner when you load a look on to a character. Anyone else got this bug?
Storyline
2020-03-22 01:57:30 +0000 UTCWhere did the add atom cross dissappear to? Where is the animation tab in scene tabs?

2020-03-21 23:37:54 +0000 UTCThanks for the update! I would love to see an asset "store" at some point where people can have dead-easy install of looks, props, environments, code, etc. Ratings of course as well, and free / patreon supporter content as well. (Alternate store/install support as well, like Daz does) Once we get a high-performance engine and figures locked down tight the next step is NPC functionality and full speed ahead to a Holodeck development toolkit / player. Thinking about this some more, you could even have a basic "PG version" where mature scenes can't be loaded and figures are not "fully equipped", which could expand your userbase down the road.

2020-03-21 18:37:04 +0000 UTCExample: the sounds of the "Emotion" plugin can't be loaded for some reason. The path looks OK though and the WAV files are present.

2020-03-21 08:22:36 +0000 UTCWith the new version, I now get plenty of errors with existing custom clothing and scripts because files are not found.

2020-03-21 08:21:00 +0000 UTCPlace the VaM_Updater.exe in a folder on whatever drive you want to install to, and run the updater in that folder. It installs in whatever folder you run it from.

2020-03-20 09:57:15 +0000 UTCNoticed while loading a Look preset errors "Error during texture load: Path not valid" and the texture filename & path were all corrupted. I would copy exact error but can't copy/paste from "Error Log" (I WISH WE COULD)

2020-03-19 10:18:43 +0000 UTCFor anyone else with this error, do this: Download a fresh copy of VAM_updater.zip (which you can find at the very top of page in the Pinned Post). Unzip it, and copy its contents "VaM_Updater.exe" into your VAM folder, replacing/overwriting the existing VaM_Updater.exe. And boom...Updater fires right up and your rdy to go!!
