VAM Plugin: Lighting Default Settings v1.0

VAM Plugin: Lighting Default Settings

With this plugin, you can configure how the Light Settings are set, whenever a Scene is loaded. In the default settings, the Ambient Light is increased to 75%, making Scenes generally brighter.

I also changed the slider for the "Ambient Light Intensity": you can now increase the Ambient Light Intensity up to the value 5.0 to further brighten up the Scene.

You could also configure the plugin, so that the Skybox of your ...

Big Plugins Overhaul: April 2025

Hello all,

please excuse the long radio silence. I'm back and I have updated all of my plugins to the latest version of VaM: 1.22.0.12 of 2025/02/07.

A couple of plugins have been majorly overhauled: the Cycle Next Person, Monochrome UI, VR Hud Alignment (formerly: No VR Hud Rotation) and VR Toggling Targets. I also fixed a couple of smaller issues in a few of the plugins.

All plugins are now located in the BepInEx \ pl...

VAM Plugin: Turn Off Monitor in VR v1.1

VAM Plugin: Turn Off Monitor in VR

This is more of a niche plugin, that turns off your monitor when VaM starts in VR mode. Definitely not required, but if you're also bothered that your monitor stays on throughout your VR session (even though it is mostly black), then give this a go.

Attention: this plugin, additonally to using BepInEx, also uses the Windows Forms library (.dll), which is used for creating Windows applications. It is included in the .NET Framework...

VAM Plugin: Remove Atoms from Selection

As per user request, this is a convenience plugin that adds an X-button in the Atom Selection menu to remove single Atoms from the Scene.

Please note: when you want to remove a large subscene, it can cause VaM to hang. It might be a good idea to clear out subscenes before removing them, as VaM has to do a lot of work under-the-hood when removing atoms.

VAM Plugin: Toggle Targets as in Desktop mode

This plugin will make the toggling of targets (the green squares to control objects in the scene, light symbols, camera symbols etc.) behave in VR in the same way as it behaves in desktop mode.

In vanilla VaM, the targets are shown when you point your VR controller in their direction and will disappear when you point your VR controller away from them.

VAM Plugin: Limit Cache

A small utility plugin to save you harddisk space by automatically clearing the Cache when it reaches a defined size limit.

The Cache creates temporary files on your hard disk, e.g. of Textures, Scene or Appearance thumbnails and other images or videos, to speed up the loading time.

Once every time VaM starts, the size of the cache is calculated and cleared when it exceeds the size limit (default is 10 GB).

Adds the "Load Look from Scene" button to the "Controls & Physics 1" tab that lets you pick a scene to load the Appearance from for the active character. If there are multiple characters in the loaded scene, then you can pick the character's name from a popup menu on the left.

I am aware that there are other plugins out that have a similar functionality, but I think this approach is a bit more intuitive and easy to use.

A small utility plugin to automatically rename characters with "Person" in their name to "Girl" (female) and "Guy" (male). The names can be changed in the included settings script.

VAM Plugin: Orbit Around Selection v1.1

VAM Plugin: Orbit Around Selection

In vanilla VaM, when you rotate the Camera, it will rotate around a distant point in front of the Camera, which may lead to losing sight of the objects that you are looking at.

Using this plugin, the Camera will orbit around the selected object instead, both in VR and in Desktop mode. It can also help with motion sickness in VR.

The orbiting works best when the selected object is in the center of the screen.
