Sorry a noob question. If i set my windows to chinese region will i still have issue with chinese var ?
The exe is reported as trojan by windows defender. Also, please add options to pack those hair, assets, clothes etc independently as a separate vars. instead of deleting them. So, lazy ppl like me won't have to find and download dependencies of hundreds characters vars. It would be a huge time saver.

Give it a couple of days, defender will whitelist it, also you can compile the tool yourself, it's open source. The reason behind flagging by windows defender is that I included the ability to delete original vars and replace them so the tool acts similar to ransomware (deleting original files and replacing them).
As for the option to pack hair, assets independently, I made my stand in the past that I won't be part of this trend of including repeated assets or anything repeated. As a work around I developed Sharp VaM Searching Tools which eliminates 90% of the time you spend searching for vars and downloading missing dependencies. It's gonna be open source and will be released soon.
Hey Boss, this version is what I've been looking for in a tool to fix bloated vars for a while so thank you for this. Is it possible for you to add a feature to resize 8k textures to 4k as well as downsize 4k textures bigger than 40MB as an option?
Also does this delete RG morph fix (SkaredSic.RG_Morph_Fix.1) which has RG in the name or will it leave it alone?

If you don't trust me, compile it yourself, source code is included, download it, open it in VS, restore nuget packages, build, merge assemblies, upload to virus total, you will get the exact same results. The reason behind flagging is that I included the ability to delete vars and replace them which is similar to how ransomware/malware works. Besides, If I wanna do a malware, I wouldn't go with C#, you can literally see the code

Yes, it's universal, UTF-8 encoding includes Chinese & English characters and works well across the board.

Ah thats a shame, will have to just make sure the vars don't have hair cua before using that option.

Not really, it's just a simple switch of encoding, the real problem is naming things in Chinese instead of English, that's confusing and requires translation to understand (for example, Dnaddr's naming of skin texture files is confusing)! Perhaps Chinese creators should understand this fact and use English by default in naming their vars and the content inside, you don't see European/Russian/Eastern creators go and name their vars in their native languages, you need to use a universal language that everyone understands.

I created CVFT specifically to fix Chinese vars, you shouldn't run plugins from untrusted sources like these vars, so I kept this option as default. Also you shouldn't use it when you are drunk, might remove a lot of important stuff.
These are duplicate vars, you need to delete them, you can use the following one line powershell to remove all duplicate vars:
Bash:
Get-ChildItem *.var -Recurse | ForEach-Object {$var = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName("$_") ; if ($var -notmatch '\..*?\.[0-9]+.var') {Remove-Item -Force "$_"}}
This will remove any var with bad name such as creator.package.1_1.var, creator.package..1 (12).var, creator.package.1 (copy).var
Might add this option in the next update but for now you can use this 1 line powershell.
