So I still couldn't get Demi to load right, and I also figured out it's not just her, various other characters don't load certain body parts or things either. I tried plugging the CUA manager in the scene itself and also setting it as a session plug-in as one of my defaults but nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss.

On the bright side I found out via Pond Pounding that you can get some of those really intensive scenes to load by going into the performance settings and turning down a few things. They still looked great and I have to say, Pond Pounding and Shortstack Shenanigans are probably some of the hottest porn I've ever experienced. Even with advanced physics and DiviningRod the penetration still doesn't work consistently though. AutoBulger also didn't seem to work with the Shortstack goblins.

On the subject, a bunch of the shortstack character looks I've got i.e. Ankha, Midna, etc. are way too big to work with shortstack scenes and their proportions are too off to work with them as tall as a regular person so I'm not sure what you can actually do with them. Is there a way to re-size them or something? I went into the morph settings but nothing makes their whole body smaller by any significant amount.

Some creators will give instructions on specific settings for physics and monitor refresh etc. for animations to work optimally...

Demi?
You should check for missing assets in the Hub
Main menu -> Hub (left option) -> 1680479677404.png
If stuff is still missing than theres potentially a CUA issue, which is no easy fix.
something about CUA glue attached to the session as a plugin... i dont remember. Beck check the files page for info.

Most of the shortstack characters are full size, you need to shrink them via scale.

I did that and got what I could, but Demi's hair wasn't in there. It was already loading in her default scene, but not when loading her as a look into another. I think her hair is the only thing that isn't loading properly now, at least. I also added the Asset VAMifier plugin to my session default but doesn't seem to help.

Well now I feel stupid. Was testing this out and it doesn't work quite as well as I'd hoped, and I also found out a lot of other characters don't get loaded properly. Ankha's ears, hair, crown, and tail don't load at all, Tristana's head is replaced by a white void with eyes in it and Poppy is missing her ears and hair. They're the same as Demi where they load fine in their default scene but trying to load them elsewhere doesn't load certain parts of them.

So i suspect i had a similar issue a while ago now, the hair/crown etc of these characters is likley to be a CUA.
A CUA is basically a solid object thats not actually part of the character.
You will need to "superglue" them to the character using a seperate plugin. atleast thats how it used to work.

I don't have any of the character who need this anymore and havent touched it in a while, but you might be in some luck.

There seems to be a new and potentialy easier way to do this.

Download and use the plugin called "CUA Manager"
Follow the instructions on it and see how it goes.

---

Small additional note, Swapping characters into scenes is rarely ever a feasible option due to how the models, bones, etc work.
Its a sad reality i know. You would likely have a better time either trying to fully "fix up" a scene to fit the characters you add or making your own entirely.

I already had the plug in but turns out the entire time I hadn't been using it right. For some reason I assumed it would work automatically. Got everyone loading in properly now with the exception of this Zelda, whose hair is a CUA but I can't load in any other scenes for some reason. I can remove it then load it again with the preset I saved in her default scene but nowhere else.


Also, I was trying to do some stuff in VamX and when opening it I get error messages saying I'm missing a ton of stuff and I think it's to do with the switch from Steam to Patreon. I think I need the files "vamX.1.xx" and "vamX.Base.1". I can't find the files on kemono.party so if anyone could share them or direct me to a download link that'd be great.

Also, trying to use body tracking by combining SlimeVR and owotrack with Embody but haven't had luck so far. My waist tracker is detected by Steam because it works in a different VR sex game, Come Closer, but the embody plugin doesn't seem to detect it because it doesn't show up in the Trackers settings. Any advice on getting that working would be great.

The one with the "superglue"? yeah you need to manually set that up compleetly, sometimes connecting multiple "parts" to a profile.

Try the one i linked above it from what i read is more "automatic". Ill try out that zelda tonight see if i can get it working.

No, I meant the regular CUAmanager plugin. In any case got just about everything working besides Zelda. That superglue plug in may still be useful though if it helps keep CUA assets in place when resizing characters, cause quite a few of the characters I have are shortstacks.

Yeah i fucked up, i think you literally NEED both for it to function properly

I think you need to select "save preset" 1680655082253.png
Other option doesnt work.

Also you have to make sure an asset is selected 1680655157854.png and the count is correct for the model.

Soing both of these works for me.
You could also set up a "trigger", just connect it to a slider thats personal to the character. Only after the preset has been made tho.

Was already saving presets for the other characters and they worked fine, but I'll give your suggestion a try for Zelda. Not sure what you mean by "connect to a slider" though.

Got the hair loading on my side.

1. Have both Plugins (manager and superglue) set to automatically load with every session.
- Load both to "session plugins"
- Save "session plugin preset"
2. And have created a Preset for the character.
- Name -> check selected asset -> Save linked attom preset"

After this, you can scroll down to this section:

This will allow the preset to automatically load every time the character does, as loading the character will use the ZELDA morph slider and trigger this plugin loading her hair.

Don't want to be too annoying about it but if anyone is familiar with the Embody plug-in and body tracking I could use help with it. I'm using SlimeVR and my phone but it doesn't get detected in Trackers, and I know it's not Steam because it works in a different VR game. Barely any messages in the VamX thread so wouldn't be much point asking there.
