1.11 Release Zip Download
Because of AV software false flagging the installer and other issues with the updater still persisting, I'm providing a direct download of 1.11.0.0 here. This will be slower to download, but should address the 2 main issues people are having.
I'll continue to make improvements to the updater software and I may drop the installer exe as it seems the most troublesome with AV software. I thought the installer would make it easier to update an existing VaM installation, but I'm not sure it is worth the trouble.
Details:
Some AV software is flagging VaM_Installer.exe as malicious. It is a false positive, but not much I can do to remedy. I'm using this software to make the installer: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page The installer then contains VaM_Updater.exe that was created with 3rd party software that I have source code to and have reviewed throughly. It does not contain malware or other malicious content. But I can understand if you do not trust this, so I'm providing an alternate direct zip download.
My intent is to make it easier and faster to get VaM releases and updates. Thanks for your patience as I work through the kinks in this system.
Hope you enjoy 1.11 once you get it!

Hi! Great job on this project. There relky isnt anything else out there that compares. I was a patron up until 1.11, but somehow the download got messed up. I redownloaded, but the key provided would not work. Since then, due to circumtanse, I had to end my Patronage. In doing so, I have no way to activate the Creator version for 1.11. Is it possible I get get a key for this? Thinks, and keep up the great work!
Any news?? :)
1.12 should hopefully be out late today. Making last fixes for the UI overhaul.
every time i download does not work =( also takes long to download.
It didnt download for me using the "direct download" link many times.. like 3 times it failed the download. Even the auto installer ended up not loading the game. But in the end the Mega link s the one that worked well, so use that one.
Just wondering, since im using an Oculus, it opens up using the oculus api, but I also use a Kinect2VR for simulate vive trackers in SteamVR, is there any way to force it to use steamvr on the oculus so i can test out the trackers before i pledge?
i know it works fine on the oculus, i meant the trackers, im using a kinect to simulate vive trackers on SteamVR and Im wondering if i can do the same for VaM, so i believe that if i could make it run on steamvr instead of the oculus sdk, i might be able to use them
Ok I'll be the first.. Are we there yet? Hehe
Ive been using the desktop mode since it came to be.. think I may of used the VR once a few months ago haha.
Hey Mesh.. when will we be able to scroll the atom select menu? With a large complex screen its like impossible to see a long list of items to select what I need in desktop mode. Currently I have to scale down the menu to where I cant read the items on the list and prey I select the right one. We need to be able to scroll the list like we can when selecting a scene or look.
Any news, please? :D
You might want to check out the games Trello page that show progress on the next upgrade, which is due out next week some time. <a href="https://trello.com/b/LDlEpfvk/virt-a-mate-public-plans" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://trello.com/b/LDlEpfvk/virt-a-mate-public-plans</a>
Glad to be a patron and get creator key. This is the funnest creation content to work with and really is somewhat intuitive to work with once permissions are understood. Using WMR Odyssey headset and controllers and controls work very well. Keep up the outstanding work!
trying the direct link, but the file is corrupt ?
Huhu Meshed, i would like to ask if its possible to add an extra atom for a vive tracker. I got two for my feet and one for hip, but the atoms are inside the bodys so the body will make weird movements.
Is there a tutorial somewhere about how to get a Daz asset or scene into VaM? Do you have to bring it into Unity first? I do not understand Unity... :-(
This doesn't work with Unity Personal, does it. :-( After five hours of fighting with it, I finally managed to get it to create *something* - but it was in four separate files, none of them having the 'assetbundle' extension. The version of Unity that I am using is 5.4.5p5. {sigh}
Hey meshed, So I have been trying to import a community model that I have made and I'm having a lot of problems. I've tried several different tutorials on how to export an "assetbundle" file in unity (2018.2) and none of them have worked. The closest I've gotten is having a file made from a script, labeled what I labeled the asset bundle but when I place it into the folder with the car asset bundle in VAM and load up the game, the file doesn't appear when I look in the folder with the car asset bundle. The 3d model I'm using is a blender file. May I ask, how did you create the asset bundle for the car, and what am I doing wrong? Thanks (And btw I love the game and all the hard work and dedication you've put into it, Keep it up!)
You have to use a version of Unity that is 2018.1.9f1 or earlier to make the assetbundle as that is what VaM uses.
My 2 vive Thumbpad are unable to press,only the mouse can be use?Why?
I keep locking up at "Paused - Waiting For: Scene Load"? Am I doing something incorrectly? Free content 1.9 worked fine for me, deleted that content paid for "entertainer" downloaded 1.11 and keeps getting locked?
I had to reinstall everything to a different folder, I had the same issue.
Is there a way to stop the desktop preview window? So that you can launch and play the game completely at the privacy of the VR Headset?
How do I know what version I have? Executables seem to use the date for a version and "version" file is ... symbolic.
Cool! Awesome news! Keep up!
and my desktop screen appear in this game.it will add reality.
i suggest web browser can be curved like vrtool box or bigscreen within steam game.
thanks you good content.
The Direct link doesn't work - after downloading 6,684,992KB chrome says "network error", and the resulting file "*.crdownload" is not a valid zip archive - tried 2 times.
Seams like a weird chrome or chrome plugin issue. Try another browser?
I thought my AV might not conflict so I tried the VAM_Installer.exe from the previous version and it acted like it installed the 1.11 version and gave no errors during the process. I then ran VaM and got the feeling that 1.11 didn't install even though it indicated that it did because I couldn't find any 1.11 built-in scenes of the VAC file online browser feature anywhere at the app. I then decided to download the whole app again from the direct link. I've now tried the whole download several times and it gets over 90% downloaded then fails every time. Edit: Finally got the whole release zip downloaded and it's working now! I love the package download feature! I hope everyone starts using it!
Hello, Thank you, I spent a lot of time ... but it's a lot of time for not much because the animation is in loop and the fact of adding a step involves a lot of time ... that's why that I wanted MesHed VR to give me his opinion on the possibility of adding some parameters (written in the previous message) ... but ... he must be too busy .... or it is not in his goal for the moment ..... bonjour, Merci, j'y ai passé beaucoup de temps...mais c'est beaucoup de temps pour pas grand chose car l'animation est en boucle et le fait de rajouter une etape implique enormément de temps...c'est pour cela que j'aurai voulu que MesHed VR me donne son avis sur la possibilité de rajouter certains parametres ( descrit dans le message précèdent )...mais...il doit être trop occupé....ou cela n'est pas dans son objectif pour le moment.....
Hello, I come back to the problem "animationstep" because I do not comment or respond to the par Meshed VR and I wanted to know if it is possible to make the changes .... I have a problem with the "animationstep" which have an acceleration and a deceleration at the arrival and at the start of each "animationstep" can you add (1.) a parameter that activates or deactivates acceleration and deceleration and can you also add (2.) the option of pausing (adjustable) each "animationstep" and also (3.) the option of deleted curves that makes between each "animationstep" that are unmanageable .... (make lines straight) and (4.) the option to make a copy of a group of "animationstep" selected ..... and (5.) add the option to make "animationstep" linear and not circular..... I make videos and send them to you ..... here is the MEGA link for videos <a href="https://mega.nz/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://mega.nz/</a> #!MO5llYwa!Jt2brngyH5Hdl3GWZCWNG435SvLBbdzvTR3eiaQqZCU ( be careful, do not just click on https: //mega.nz ... make a paste copy of the complete address ... otherwise it will ask you to register for MEGA ... ) Thank you good continuation
Insane! Crazy! How did you do that? haha great job! Walking down stairs! Never thought id see that in VAM.
You would have to create installer that sets executable to run with limited privileges, then AV would be more happy. You may look for example at: <a href="http://wixtoolset.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://wixtoolset.org/</a>
And also you may have to sign with certificate <a href="http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Antivirus-is-blocking-execution-of-standard-bootstrapper-application-td7596457.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Antivirus-is-blocking-execution-of-standard-bootstrapper-application-td7596457.html</a>
Of course most regular users should be aware that the more extensions you use, the more at risk you are. Browsers are secure. It's the crap you add into it that makes it NOT secure. :)

Would like to add that THE CHROME MEGA PLUGIN IS HIJACKED and should be removed asap!!! It phishes for passwords and usernames from all the big sites. Google it if you dont belive.

Just to be clear, the browser in game does not support plugins. This is for your own installed browser outside VaM.
Sad to see the Updater go and I hope it makes a return at some point when you find either a way for it to not trigger the virus warnings or with some other updater/installer either way thanks for your efforts :)
Updater is staying. It is the top level VaM_Installer.exe that is probably going. But direct download will be option for major release (not patches) in case there are issues.
F*ck antiviruses. We know they like to tag a lot of stuff as 'generic malware' just to boast the number of detected malware.
The latest version updated to latest VAM for me fine yesterday. I had awful trouble with previous version of installer crashing. But this didn’t give any trouble. Think it went through about 5 patch updates.
Awww, I love the installer and updater. Yeah, anything made by someone who doesn't pay Microsoft thousands of dollars for signing rights or whatever crap they're doing pops up saying "This software isn't signed, this software might be malicious" ... this isn't anything new, and considering the massive community around this software and how long it has been in existence, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't trust the files you're providing us. It will be a real shame if we lose all these benefits you've worked so hard to provide because a few uneducated people are yelling that the sky is falling when they get a little warning.
