I think its a giant mistake and so does everyone else. The reasons to delete it are nill if you ask me. I think there is just someone in charge that has to have it his way or no way. Ive seen admins like that before, they kill communities.No post reply anymore
This has been discussed extensively over the past months, but I'll bite:
1. Keeping a single thread for a forum worth of content is crazy and messy, people keep coming here asking for the same things over and over and over again because they can't find shit.
2.Requests are easier to be solved if they don't get buried under 50 re-requests and bug reports in an hour.
3. Full threads have more links, meaning fewer problems with dead links, especially when there are creators actively antagonizing and shooting down links here.
4. Tags, prefixes, previews, the LU, better search indexing, generally all of the cool tools the forum offers that don't exist in a single thread.
And if you must go there, losing all views of any single thread in the forum would not even show up in the statistics, so yeah, less traffic doesn't matter nearly as much as pushing the VaM section (and by extension the whole forum) to a higher standard.
Thank you so much! I have been waiting for this look to be shared for SO long. Jungsu is one of the few creators I wouldn't mind subbing to, but patreon doesn't accept the whole prepaid card thing. I refuse to use my personal banking, or any personal info for that matter, online. It is sad that they are closing this thread, but with VaM 2.0 around the corner, I am sure that there will be a new thread. Don't think of this as "goodbye", it is more like "see you around".here bro, cant believe we have to say goodbye soon, i must have missed you guys

Thanks for sharing, another util for the toolkit folder!If like me you have tons of missing dependencies that aren't in the hub and need an easier way to list them, I wrote this little Python script that will make it easier.

Can You explain your steps?? Trying to make this work..So I ran a little experiment, for shits and giggles, and it worked. So figured I'd share.
I have a 4TB NAS (network storage). Since VAM starts to run sluggish with a lot of Vars in the local directory, I decided to try and eliminate that, but still be able to access the vars. In the hopes of gaining performance back(in the menus and scene loading) and space.
So what I did was make a Symbolic link to my (backup) Addon's folder that's on my Nas and that worked! So what I did was move my main addon's folder outside of VaM's folder and made a Symbolic link to the mapped drive. Since my backup wasn't up-to-date with what I have locally, I could see what was the latest var on the backup, go into VaM and search for that and it showed. I also know it's working because I'm watching the network performance and I see the activity to and from.
Main thing is I wanted to free up space on the drive VaM is on, but not lose access to all the vars. Since the Var's are not being loaded and accessed locally, it seems to give a little performance back along with space, like menus opening a little faster, female morphs, cloths, hairs etc. Just the initial load of VaM takes a bit, which I believe is do to the network speed & NAS drive speed i'm seeing in task manager on the vam process.
So in "theory" this can also work if you have your addon folder on another drive. I think the Var loading portion (using this method) will depend on your drive speed (or network and nas drive speed if you go the route I did) But I really haven't gotten a chance to do a performance benchmark yet. Just keep in mind that VaM will be accessing/loading the vars from another location. I also think and "assume" if you use this method, have another ssd or hdd you are going to use for the Link, you could turn bitlocker on and it'll prevent any malicious scripts from causing any harm, like deleting files. Course bitlocker is a bit more complex in set up and utilizing the way we want it, so the average user won't be savy with it. Plus there are other things you can do, once the folder is isolated like this from the main VaM folder.
This is the guide I followed.You must be registered to see the linksThe main thing to remember, is VaM looks for a folder. So trying to do a shortcut to the AddonPackages wont work, which this symbolic link fixes.
Honestly yeah, why not make it so any download link posted here has to be an asset release thread?Has anyone proposed to the mods/admin an agreement where we copy everything posted in the thread over to the assets page in exchange for keeping it open?
lol.... I have am AMD 5800x with a 3080TI, M.2 PCIE 4 drive with DDR4 4000hz ram... it made no difference from my last pc. The VAM engine is capped at what it is....hi every one. i will going to buid new pc to run vam smoothly. whats cpu+gpu do you used it. please give me advice. how about i5 11400f + 3060ti.
How is performance? Im still run vam by my old laptop. Its dell 7559 - i5 6300hq and gtx 960m. Lol… im going to buid new desktop. budget around 1700 - 1800 usdlol....

Holy moley you went the full route eponge! Mine was lazy and just had one button per folder to cycle through the VAPs within it.Based on the idea given by -Carcosa, I did CommunityPosePack6.uiap to be loaded in UIAssist for fun.
here you goSo after a deepscan i know that i need this vars:
suparioamateur.home_tube_dress.latest.var
suparioamateur.layered_makeups.latest.var
mr_cadillacv8.leoni_24.latest.var

renvr.belle_(var)_.latest.var
renvr_leah.latest.var
vvvevevvv.bunny_suit_set.latest.var
dnaddr.corrine1_65.latest.var
Can anyone be kind enough to share?
Thanks!
