VAM Plugins using BepInEx for Windows
🕑 Added 2022-08-05 16:34:09 +0000 UTCWelcome!
I create plugins for Virt-A-Mate (VAM) using BepInEx, a modding software for Unity games. Virt-A-Mate is made with Unity. My plugins focus on the user interface (UI) of Virt-A-Mate to make VAM more enjoyable for users.
The plugins that I provide are the following:
- VAM Translation
- Clothing and Hair Favorites
- Delete Obsolete Packages
- ...and many more
Feel free to also propose new functionalities that you would like to see in Virt-A-Mate.
Note that other operating systems, such as Linux or Unix are currently not supported.
BepInEx
For more details about BepInEx, follow this link: BepInEx
BepInEx allows to directly change the code and therefore all aspects of Virt-A-Mate, which is usually not possible with the regular VAM-Plugins.
Please be aware that using BepInEx can pose a high risk, as plugins could inject malicious code. Therefore it is up to you to decide whether you want to take that risk and I would advise you to only use BepInEx plugins from trusted sources.
To check whether BepInEx will work with your VAM installation, please try out my free plugin: VR Laser Pointer Colors. Therefore, you can safely test if BepInEx is working for you, before deciding whether you want to subscribe to my patreon or not.
Is using BepInEx allowed with Virt-A-Mate?
I contacted meshedvr, the creator of Virt-A-Mate on June 3rd 2021 and asked if BepInEx plugins are allowed:
"Dear VAM-Team,
I am a developer and would like to create paid plugins and advertize them on the VAM Hub.
I would like to use BepInEx to create the plugins ( see https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases ), which allows changing the VAM / Unity code directly in a way that VAM Plugins cannot do.
I was not able to determine, if this is allowed according to your terms and rules and would be thankful if you could clarify. Also, I would like to know if there is a risk of users getting their licence revoked if they used the BepInEx plugins?
An example of such a plugin would be to change the size of clickable UI buttons to make them bigger and more accessible for VR users."
Reply from meshedvr:
"It isn't against our rules, but if this system is replacing built-in dlls or otherwise modifying the game/engine code, I would caution users about that being a huge security risk to them if they use it. I would prepare yourself for some negative feedback in that regard."
Patreon subscription
Please note that when you subscribe to my patreon, you will be charged upfront, as you will then have instant access to all of my plugins.
Also note that due to time constraints, I cannot provide individual support. A FAQ section is also provided to help you to get the plugins working for you.
However, if the plugins are not working for you, there will be no refunds.
Even with the lowest tier, you will have access to all of my plugins and all future updates. The higher tiers are available only if you want to support me with an extra coffee =)
Always use the latest version of VaM and the latest version of BepInEx
My plugins are always created and updated for the latest version of VaM and the latest version of BepInEx, currently: 5.4.21. I haven't tested my plugins with the BepInEx 6.0.0-pre version, therefore please use BepInEx 5.4.21 with my plugins, as this is the version that I have been using since releasing my first plugins in August 2022.
EULA
Make sure to carefully read the EULA (End User License Agreement), as you will be agreeing to it when you download, install or use any of my plugins.

It's a shame enabling any of these plugins disables and removes the ability to add all other plugins, be it Session, Atom or Scene. There's nothing wrong with my installation either, if I remove the plugin(s) but leave BepinEx, all my defaults come back. Utterly bizarre.

This is just a warning and can be ignored. I get the same warning and all of the plugins work as intended.
