Check the content of the *.VAR file -- it might just contain a look or appearance, or maybe it's just a CUA or something like that, just not a scene. I'm not familiar with that particular file, but if you can't seem to see a scene, it might not contain one.

I've just looked into the *.VAR file, and as I assumed earlier, it does NOT contain a scene. It contains an *.assetbundle (which is a CUA) and a script called DogaurController.cs:
Code:
"contentList" : [
"Custom/Assets/cenXaur/dogaur.assetbundle",
"Custom/Assets/cenXaur/dogaur.jpg",
"Custom/Scripts/cenXaur/DogaurController.cs"
]So to use it, you'll need to add a "CustomUnityAsset" (CUA) to your scene, select the *.assetbundle from that file, select the the "Asset" in the configuration pane, then add the script that comes with the *.VAR file as plugin -- done.

This updater is actual ass. It looks like it will take about 8 hours to download 17gb for the latest version? Don't suppose anyone has a hosted clean VaM 1.22.0.3 for people who don't want to leave their computer on for an updater that is swimming through mud with it's speed?

I just recently re-downloaded VaM as a clean instalation and in no way it took 8 hours. Might be something to do with your router blocking ports or the occasional potatoing of Meshed's servers.
Could be a combination of both. I've seen other people posting similar issues on the discord. With most people just shrugging and saying wait it out. I'm like 6 hours in right now? At about 97% roughly. I'm updating and not doing a clean install. Could also be a factor.

Change the *.txt-file extension to *.bat and put the file in your AddonPackages folder. After that, you can put all your txt, jpg, var-files in AddonPackages- folder and the script makes needed folders for them based on the creator name in filename and then moves the files in those folders. It doesn't delete anything and if it cannot move the file or create the folder for it, it leaves the file as it is.
So with this script you can just download all vars to AddonPackages-folder and run the cmd.bat and it moves all var-files to new or existing folders.

I've created a site & a google sheets that lists models and celebrities they purely coincidently look a like, fairly sparse at the moment, but thought I'd check in too see if something similar exists before start populating it
The Site
Sheets (where the site gets it's data from, updated when site rebuilt, if want to help populate just request access on sheets)

This is utterly BS. It takes like 15-30 minutes on my end. If the download takes 8+ hours on your end, that's a "you" issue.
//EDIT: Just tested it: it took less than 7 minutes from an empty directory with just the updater in it to a fully downloaded VaM installation with 18.7 GiB -- my internet speed is 500 MBit for downloads...

dumb question but gonna ask anyway. is there a smaller version to use with downloaded models, do you actually need the full program to get it to work?
i already try this game mate..here my some question
1) where is the new game/load game option?
2) why total scene on scene browser is very few/limited? how to get more/completed scene collection?
3? each scene video, why only short duration? any long duration scene?
4) i want replace girl face on certain scene with famous idol girl that i like, is that possible mate?
5) is there a back button when scene is loaded for back to menu?

There's no smaller version of VaM -- you'll need to download the full program to use it. And btw: you'll pretty soon realize that VaM isn't the largest part you have to download: some scenes/looks are of large sizes as well, and if they then also need a bunch of dependencies, this will add up pretty quickly.
I personally only have a small collection of looks, scenes and environments that I keep, and my VaM installation is about 250 gig in size -- those are rookie numbers! People are hoarding terabytes of stuff for VaM, so those 20 gig for the base VaM program are laughable.

First and foremost: this isn't a game, it's a sandbox environment to create your own looks & scenes or load/watch looks/scenes other people have created.
1) Therefore there's no "new game" or "load game" option -- what you're looking for is the "scene browser" to load scenes that are already in the game.
2) You can find more scenes and looks and all kinds of stuff for VaM using the in-game "Hub Browser" (or you can visit the Hub outside of VaM

), you can also find a lot of (mostly paid but pirated) stuff here on F95, for example here.3) There are scene that are several minutes in duration, just not the built-in ones that come with the main download.
4) Yes, it's possible. I (and others) have explained it a couple of times, for example here.
5) Yes, use the "Open Top Menu" button from the menu.
And some final advice: as you're obviously new to VaM, and because VaM has a very steep learning curve before you actually can "enjoy" playing with VaM, I'd suggest you watch some basic tutorials first, otherwise this will get very frustration very soon.

which I found quite very helpful, and although it's quite "old" and has been recorded in VaM's VR mode, it helps to understand the basic concept of VaM.Does anyone know if there are any tutorials on how to port models from koikatsu/illusion games to VAM? I have tried searching but have only ended up with partial info. Getting the model out of KK into Blender/DAZ is easy, but from there there are no tutorials, only one existing for VAM is to port VAM > Blender > VAM, so nothing of real use. Or is this some sort of closely guarded secret?

Have you seen this thread? Maybe it contains some information that'll help you. On the DAZ3D to VaM part, there are several posts on the VaM Hub like

that might give you some advice on how to get it to work.I've never done that myself, so I'm not able to judge how useful those tips/tutorials are though...
Anyways, good luck!
