Understandable. At this point, cleaning up would take days
Unity Virt-A-Mate [v1.22.0.3] [Meshed VR]
Nah, I change a lot of things that I use. Hate to eat the same food everyday, if you know what I mean......of which there are at least 70% you won't ever touch or need I'd assume. One TB of *.var files is nothing you should brag about, because it is called "hoarding", and you should talk with your doctor about this
Sometimes I totally forgot I had a scene and is like a new thing for me. Advantages of poor memory.

why would he hire people who don't understand anything about this, I repeat, he works with such creative developers from the hub as - AshAuryn, hazmhox, Macgruber, and a few more pros and old-timers from the hub. they are now making Vam 2 together

is var manager a paid plugin? or browser assist from jay won? if it's a paid plugin then I tried to use it it puts all var files in a separate folder and as a result you don't see anything in the application until you load it)) it turns out to be an empty Vam and I don't like it to blindly search for what I need and then load it so that it is displayed in Vam.

if you don't use var manager then something tells me you're lying))65-70 sek... to load VAM on SSD and 2 mins from my NAS, with all Tweaks u can have and dont ask witch one, ALL OF THEM
Yes. The one with two folders. Than youre using the plugin wrong. You should use the plugin UI, not the default vam. In the plugin UI all scenes appears as installed.

Doesn't the browser assistant jay Won do the same thing?
You must be registered to see the links
and how will I use morphs, textures, etc. that are also in var files?
how to use it? I installed it, an icon appeared on the top left and shows my var files, but it still loads slowly and all my var files remain in the folder AddonPackages ! Shouldn't they be in the folder AllPackages?
svtiscenes don't load or load with a stock character! basically this browser removed everything and now I have nothing for scenes(

in general, it's unnecessary garbage and not a plugin! I moved all the var back and the scenes load normally, although the Vam itself loads slowly again
take a look at this write up. the basic idea with that tool is, you can keep the vars you use most of the time in addonpackages while the vars you rarely use in allpackages. the tools makes it so the vars gets loaded automatically when you load a look for example. it comes with a gui too which you can use to load everything, it arguably has a better gui than vam. from my testing the autoloading vars works for looks, presets and things like that just from the vams built in gui, no need for plugins gui. but scenes wont work, for scenes you have to use the pluigns gui, only once tho. once the var is loaded you can use vams ui. for me that plugin is a godsend, it makes vam usable again. i have around 4000+ vars, but i only use around 1500 vars, the rest i keep unloaded and only use when needed. without that plugin, vams loading times are so bad, even on a nvme. to get a better understanding how it works try reading that post.

so I installed it. I tried to load the scene four times, rebooted and still it does not load the character into the scene, but only without morphs and textures)) I suffered with this browser)) it shows that it seems to transfer some dependencies to the folder, but apparently not all the time the character does not load)) and without it I load the same scene and everything loads fine! I used the graphical interface of this browser

Same here. Vam does load fast, and so do the scenes, but I noticed some of my morphs and clothes were gone. And afaik, you have to toggle them back on for the browser to see and let it through (and wouldn't loading everything through be against the usage of this plugin (?))
Now I can't do this with every scene. So I reinstalled vam with just my latest scenes and dependencies to avoid the long load times.
I think the idea behind the var browser plugin's great, but I haven't fully grasped it. It'd be great if in vam2, they adopt a similar idea to avoid long wait times.
hmm it might be a bug then, im not sure. tell me if you if you did it this way just to confirm. you are on latest version of the plugin and, a scene and its dependencies (var files) are not loaded, they are in allpackages folder. so to load the scene you open the plugins gui (not vams ui) and click on the scene. the plugin should then load all these var files scene+dependencies and the scene should load up with all intact, textures, hair, morphs etc. if not then its definitely something wrong with the plugin. on my pc when i click on the stuffs in plugins ui, everything works as expected. maybe you should ask plugin author.
Browser Assist only works with vars in AddonPackages, and any var in AddonPackages will increase load time, and vam itself, but also everything within in, opening clothing, hair, morphs, etc. So it does nothing to decrease load times, just a better way of browsing existing vars.
The Var Browser will move all(except those you mark) vars to AllPackages(and can remove duplicates and corrupt vars), you will then have to use it's in game browser, which is accessible via the overlay, to load vars. When loading through this ui it will move and load all dependencies into AddongPackages. It will also do this if you load a preset you have saved from before. So it's crucial that you use the browser from the plugin, since it will keep track of dependencies. You can also use it's version of the hub, to download missing dependencies of vars you have in AllPackages.
Only problem i have with it is that if you select a var as to be always installed, it only keeps that specific var installed, and not it's dependencies, but easily fixed by always using the browser when running a fresh vam.
There's a lot of other functionality that is missing which you have in browser assist, but can get those by just refreshing after installing vars.
