1.10.0.10 Patch is out. It fixes 6 bugs:
  • Fixed issue with moving parent node when a child node was turned off. This resulted in child node getting stuck
  • Added decal texture support for shaders used in famele14 skin
  • Fixed texture import to report error instead of crashing when texture file was missing
  • Fixed texture clear to always work. Was broken on decal slot after loading a 2nd texture
  • Fixed issued with face texture reverting back to makeup texture when loading same appearance twice (or another appearance using same textures)
  • Fixed male skins to apply limbs texture to fingernails and toenails

Just run the VaM_Updater.exe in the VaM install directory to get the update. If you have any trouble, you can try using Options -> Force Repair to verify you have all the correct files installed. If you use the repair option, you will have to re-enter you key.

1.11 Plans:

Here are some major features I hope to add to 1.11, but all of these items are fairly complex so might not be completed. If partially completed, I'll try to include as much as possible as a sneak-peek. In addition to these listed items, 1.11 will also include other smaller features, tweaks, and content.

  • New hair sim with multiple new styles. This will be alpha release of this feature as I plan to enhance further after initial release to allow in-game styling.
  • CustomAtom with .obj import. This will enable custom objects to be added to VaM. It will work sort of like ImagePanel but with a path to an .obj file instead of an image file.
  • Improvements to installer/updater. Many people reported issues with this. I'm using a 3rd-party tool here, but I have the source code and I hope I am able to make it more robust.

Hey Meshed, this all sounds fantastic. I am so very pleased that I found you project and started supporting it back earlier in the year. Everything is terrific. But I would like to make one request!!!! I use Reshade postprocessing effects while using desktop mode to enhance the image quality. The problem is that I cannot get the Depth of Field effects to work, because there is no depthmap for the software to utilize (?) so if you could make an attempt to remedy this or add your own DoF effects for desktop mode, that would be most appreciated. Keep up the good work!

meshedvr

Thank you! I think if you add one of the glow effect objects it turns on depth write on the camera. A long while back I also wanted to add post-processing effect system that users could tweak but it got put lower in priority than the many other items I have on the todo list.

Wondering of the new hair system is planned to replace the current system, or be an addition to it? Are the old hair styles going away?

Hmm, just tried adding one of the techno light shapes to a simple scene and playing with the Reshade DoF settings to no avail.... I've no idea why! Anyway thanks for being so responsive on here. If you ever get to implementing your own postprocessing stuff for VaM, I'm sure us screenshot photographers will really be excited. Either way I agree it's pretty low on the priority list for the project.

(make lines straight) and (4.) the option to make a copy of a group of "animationstep" selected ..... and (5.) add the option to make "animationstep" linear and not circular.....

just tried the newest scene, it was awesome, however I had allot of problems falling through the balcony or into the pool, I had to use teleport to get back to the right area, do I have a setting wrong ?

Meshed, what's your vision for adding new content, clothes and locations in particular? I don't know how representative I am of your patrons, but I find myself checking our your release notes not to see what tweaks have been made to the engine, but to see if there's any new ways I can dress my characters or new ways to place them. New content feels drip fed right now.

DJ

You may be interested in the new mod that allows the loading of user-created locations. Expect more and more locations to be added in coming days. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/VAMscenes/comments/97yy6f/mod_release_vam_map_loader/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/VAMscenes/comments/97yy6f/mod_release_vam_map_loader/</a>

Failed to load PlayerSettings (internal index #0). Most likely data file is corrupted, or built with mismatching editor and platform support versions. ???

meshedvr

Try running VaM_Updater.exe, click the options button, and use the Force Repair that is in there. Seems like you have a corrupted file somewhere.

Oh the anticipation...

any idea how much longer the new release will take

DJ

Yesterday on Discord he said some time today (Sunday). But this is a hard thing to estimate, so I'm not holding my breath.
