1.13.0.2 Patch Release (Patreon)

I have spent some time improving the installer and patcher program, so this release utilizes that. If the patch process fails in any way, it falls back and attempts an auto-repair option. I have also switched to a different CDN to distribute the software which seems to have a bit better performance and reliability. This patch will be a further test of that to see if that is true worldwide or not. Please let me know if you have trouble with patching process. I have also added better debugging to the log files in case there are issues. This patch is fairly small at around 150MB.

I'll now be moving on to 1.14 release work. Plans for 1.14 are morph compiler and other new morph compositing and packaging features. I'll also be spending a lot of time on the clothing sim feature, and if all goes well I'll be adding an early demo of this to the release. Probably a skirt of some kind which would benefit the most from simulation.

Instructions:

You must have 1.13.0.1 installed first before patching or it will attempt a full download of 1.13.0.2 which is 10+GB. Extract the contents of this zip file into the directory where VaM is installed. VaM_Updater.exe should sit next to VaM.exe if done correctly. Then run VaM_Updater.exe begin the patch process. It will download the patch and attempt to apply it.
