Tool Others Vambropy [v1.15.01]: VaM packages & user content database, management, and a complement to VarBrowser

[qube21]

Upcoming version will include ma

When I load external, the installed files and available files are reduced as shown in the attached picture. Version 1.09 works fine.

We could discover the missing files by doing this:
1. On version 1.15 select all rows -> New (list) from selected -> v1.15.txt
2. In all the folders where you have the packages (AddonPackages, AllPackages, Repo directories etc) run this command: DIR /s > files.txt which will make a list with all the files in the folder the command is ran from. Comparing the list generated by v1.15 against the files from the disk would show the missing files. But, this would require some additional regex work done trough notepad++ or other text editors. Or I can do it if you're willing to send the lists.

Thanks for your answer, I'll wait for the next update while using version 1.09

I try to make repositories work but no luck.

It looks like this...

# Vambropy 1.15 config file - Save this file and restart to apply changes

# VaM full path
VAM_dir=D:\VaM

# Required common subdirectory name in all repositories. Example: common_dir:AddonPackages; common_dir:vam_vars
common_dir=AddonPackages

# External paths (var repositories). All must have a common_dir. Example: Repo1=e:\gamedata\commondi\repo_1 copies to-> c:/games/vam/AddonPackages/repo_1
Repo1=D:\VaM Move Folder
Repo2=
Repo3=
Repo4=
Repo5=


I store all external stuff in the Vam Move Folder. I get this error...



I don't get the repo command. I got everything in that folder, how can I make this work?

Faking versions... that is a cool idea but obviously under each user's responsability. Vambropy will not delete old versions but they would be set apart in a specific directory, then the last version symlinked to all those versions. It is doable, yes. It would pop up a big warning though! lol
...but it is interesting for helping to test scenes, and to get rid of old versions not really needed.

This feature would be super cool indeed to have!

Thanks for all of your comments

Thanks, that helped.

I'm still figuring this tool out. What I want is to be able to see all my vars in Vam while they only get loaded into RAM when needed, similar to var Browser - I wanna keep VaM fast / main goal. Unfortunately my VaM browser is empty and the tool seems to not load the VaM.exe I pointed it too, all my session plug ins are missing and the browser list is empty.
