Ho Ho Ho! Like my new dress? 1.14 Released
Highlights:
(Beta) Simulated Clothing. 3 existing items now have simulation variants and 3 completely new sim clothing items added
Morph Compiler and other morph packaging and re-use improvements.
Hair simulation improvements
Point light shadow bias control. This can allow tighter shadows. Helpful for clothing and areas like nostrils.
A few bug fixes
Download:
Download the zip and extract to existing VaM install folder, then run VaM_Updater.exe to patch the release to 1.14.0.0. For new installs, extract the zip to a new folder and run VaM_Updater.exe. Since the updater is working reliably now, there is not a direct full download at this time. It is recommended to patch an existing install if possible as the patch is only 10% of the full download size and will be faster to update.

how can I get the full game?
When I open 1.14 there's no more enter key option, only a play button? How do I put in the entertainer code now? I can only load built in scenes now.
The key entry is on the desktop window. It is not in VR.
which clothes aside from the new ones have had physics added?
I'm having a hard time getting the hair to react realistically in this version. My old saves don't react properly, and I can't get the options to work like they used to. Maybe it's the friction option? Even turning it all the way down doesn't work, it just doesn't flow/react realistically anymore.
Yeah, this is very frustrating - all of the hair I've done previously is now messed up and in "slow motion" basically. That's unless I turn friction down, but then that totally screws up the motion. Nothing fixes it. I had it functioning perfectly in the previous version and now it's horrible. It's not nearly as realistic, the friction setting messes up everything. Going to have to revert to the previous version I guess, this depresses me.
I see that the development speed hasn't changed since I cancelled my subscription. Falling further and further behind. I made the right choice to cancel
Hang on... your complaint is that development isn't progressing fast enough???? Lol!
Just want to say that I love this program and you are doing great work in making it. I was wondering have you considered employing nvidiaVR SLI api's in the back end to improve performance. It might be a little late in the development to incorporate it and I know it is a bit niche.,but it would help for larger more complicated scenes. Again great work.
The developer has said in the past that he's reluctant to start using solutions tailored to specific hardware brands. What happens to AMD users if he starts using NvidiaVR? He'd end up having to maintain multiple parallel systems, with each new feature being implemented on each of them. This would slow program development significantly. Big budget programs developed by large teams can afford to put this kind of time and effort into maximizing performance, but VaM is the work of one guy, working balls out. At this point, it's just not a viable option.
Am i missing something which scene can you interact with the clothes?
The interactable clothes are under the clothing options. They are the ones with "sim" added to them. In the options of the sim clothes you can also check "undress" to activate the undressing. ;)
Every time i start the Updater it says an unhandled error ocurs and crashes :/
can you supply a link to the full download. The 1.14 updater is crashing on me (stuck halfway through an old update (probably version 1.12) and now crashes out 1-2 seconds after launching)
yeah for me too, i can't install ! Very frustrating and i don't receive support on my comment several days before...
Yeah, looks awesome!
"an unhandled error occured"
Is it normal for the female skins to go only up to "female 15" (including custom and dummy) despite the last update saying 5 new female skins were added? Or am I missing something?
The "release notes" document covers releases all the way back to version 1.12. The 5 new female skins were added in 1.13.
I can't download this version. The link is empty
It's possible your antivirus is getting a false positive and blocking it. The download is a zip file containing the updater and a config file. You might try turning your antivirus off and trying again.
I would really like a floating hands in this game so you dont have to create a masculine person every time you want to undrees a hot girl :)
Yeah, I've made this suggestion before - floating arms would be great.
I'm no longer able to drag myself up and down through the world, now it goes by your head height. I don't see any other way of controlling my height
Uncheck "navigate lock height" right there in the main menu, just below the toolbar. You probably checked it by mistake at some point. I've done that.
The updater worked for the first time for me - ran it as administrator btw. Great work on the clothes simulations.
Also, can't find the point light shadow bias controls (unless it's on by default), but I'm really glad it's being looked into. Edit: I found the settings for individually lights and messed with all the settings including map resolution and it didn't fix the nose/eye shadow issues for me unfortunately. The nostrils in particular just seem unwilling to have shadows inside. Eyes still have that kind of "bug eyed" look without shadows specifically beneath the eyelids (regardless of position or setting) but this does help slightly. Still praying for a fix! Good improvements regardless - thanks
Update doesn't work for me since 1.08, could you give a link to a full download, thanks.
Have you tried the zip above? It can also do a full download and install if you unzip the file into new folder and run VaM_Updater.exe.
I'm getting invalid key for creator now.
If you don't copy in the new config file in the zip, it would not update to 1.14.0.0. You can try extracting the contents of zip to a new directory and this will do a clean install.
Works after not letting it over write when unzipping but don't get the Santa outfit scene or my other content...
Not working for me for some reason.
The VaM_Updater.exe shows as a Trojan:Win32/Cloxer.D!cl virus for me :( I really wanted to check this update out. Is there a direct download link I could use for 1.14?
You'll be fine, Not everything that an AV detects is a virus. If its something new or open sourced (like the patcher) it'll have a file or line of code the AV doesn't recognize and saids it's a virus. My Malware scanner tells me my game trainers (cheat engine stuff) are "risk-ware viruses" when they are not anything at all. So, AV's uses an AI to detect viruses based on behavior and what not that a virus can show, but a file was identified by the AI, thus given a meaningless name and providing no information about what the behaviors are and thus it's a false positive.
Oh my god, it's even better than I expected :D
Good show old bean!
cool!
Finishes downloading 1.3 10 min later 1.4 released. Cant complain ^_^
Best dev ever. MERRY CHRISTMAS! <3
now go rest mate you deserve it :D thanks heaps
