@Legionite
that sounds very neat, could you upload it so we can check it out please?

@Legionite
Sorry for the late response.
I've been really busy lately, so I didn't see your comment.

You're welcome to modify and redistribute my mod.
I'm glad you modified my mod.

ooh, that would be very cool

I have created an alternative version to this VRM Loader that pretty much fully integrates it with the character DLC content while keeping most of the original content intact.
This however depends on having character DLC so most of the new functionality is not present if the player doesn't have the DLC.

Is it okay for me to post it?
The rights in relation to the older VRM mods are set to MIT but that seems to be unclear with the current versions.
I will credit you for the mod and link this version in the description.

This confused me a bit, mostly because of how FTD handles mods. Just in case anybody else has the same problem; after subscribing to the mod, you need to go to the main menu, then go to the content tab, then scroll down to mods, click download, click VRM_Loader, then scroll down & click the button in the bottom right to create the folder.

Thanks, i'll try doing that. probably in the future we would have sitting and swimming animations if VRM loader is remade.

When selecting a character such as Rambot in FTD character selection, it seems that there is an issue where the VRM model floats in the air.

I was unable to identify the cause of the floating.

For the time being, I decided to deal with it by shifting the height by a certain value.

All avatars both default and imported are floating a bit in the air

Can confirm they are visible in third person again :D

Thank you for reporting
I have updated the mod

The mod loads avatars again. :D
However i noticed all avatars even rambot are invisible in first and third person, but are visible in freecam?

We have changed from
VS2019 .NETFramework v4.6 to VS2022 .NETStandard v2.1
In line with this, we will discontinue support for FTD versions less than 4.2.3
If you would like to use the mods in an environment where the FTD version is less than 4.2.3,
please use the previous mods that we have uploaded to GitHub.

https://github.com/huwahuwa2017/FromTheDepths_HuwaMods_OldVersion

It worked in 4.2.0, but it stopped working again in 4.2.1.
I'll update it later, so please wait a while.

i had to map the memory and go through it to find where it was pulling the data from. if ur on linux and have the game on a second drive with proton, there's a chance this mod will save in some weird spot

how do you remove the mod? ive deleted it from my mod folder, verified cache, and reinstalled the game but its still there ... i think its giving me memory leak issues on proton, because the game gets a sudden stutter spike and the console menu the mod pulls up gets spammed

ye, currently it seems to do nothing, the menu is there but the buttons wont affect anything.

I get a fatal error with the current version.

Supports AlphaTest (FTD v4.2.0)

what does the new update add?

so how is the vrm sitting thing doing

i have two avatars molded together

huwahuwa, is that still working by the way?

how you enable that on game?

reinstalling did nothing, but i did figure out a solution.

for whatever reason, the mod is disabled by default and has to be enabled in the *mod creator* menu, which is odd, but it seems functional now

Do you see the mod name and version in the bottom right corner of the main menu after starting FTD?

If it is not displayed, you can solve the problem by un-disabling the mod by FTD or emptying the Mods folder and reinstalling the mod.
If you're having trouble seeing the mod's name and version, it's a sign that you're running into a pretty nasty problem.

the mod seems either non-functional or the documentation doesn't explain something. i have the mod loaded and a VRM in the folder, however i dont see the tab in my character sheet, so i can't even select the default mannequin VRM since i can't get to the dropdown/selector/etc.

based on the formatting and look of the files of the default/example mod avatars, they don't seem to be VRMs and im worried there was a change made in a recent update of FTD that made this mod incompatible, but i have no idea. the worst part is that doing this the "proper" way, in the style of the example mod, where it shows up in the normal avatar selection dropdown, is not documented and i can't figure out how to do it myself.

Shadow-Fox, if you’re on Mac it doesn’t work on Mac because the author doesn’t have one to test and debug it on iirc. As for it being abandoned, the author might’ve just moved on to something else for a while.

Looks like the mod is broken and abandoned...

i get into game and my pm not loaded

There is currently no sitting animation.
We plan to recreate a new VRM_Loader that will utilize character DLC in the future.
Once this is completed, you will be able to use the sitting animation etc.
Also, it is not possible to change the mannequin model to VRM, but once the new VRM_Loader is completed, VRM will be able to be used in animation blocks added by character DLC.
It will take some time, so please wait until then.

Do the VRM characters have a sitting animation? With the rambot model I could never tell, the DLC Steel Striders characters definitely do but with VRM active it only seems to work with Rambot and when seated the VRM model just stands in the chair, almost in an A pose.
Also is it possible to display the VRMs on a manequin or the moving manequin I forget the name?

Thank you for confirming!
This bug fix was extremely difficult, but we gained important knowledge.

Finally it work!

I changed from Visual Studio 2022 to Visual Studio 2019 and tried building again.
Mod version is 2.0.4
I would appreciate it if you could let me know if the bug where the number of tabs increases is resolved.

Finally it don't work that much.
However the fix you propose earlier (deleting lines) works...

It's finally work!!

Mod Version 2.0.3
I tried changing the order in which the DLL files are loaded.
If you still have an issue with the number of tabs increasing, I would appreciate it if you could report it.

I still don't know the cause or how to fix it.
I came up with a good idea, the mod I create has a version change function
C:/Users/USER_NAME/Documents/From The Depths/Mods/VRMLoader/AssemblyFilePath.txt
You can change the mod version by editing this text
I would appreciate it if you could try deleting the top 28 lines and see if VRM_Loader works.

Any news? this mod still don't work...

Not at the moment
However, there are plans to create a next-generation VRM_Loader that is tied to the character DLC, so once it is completed, it may be possible to use the animations provided by the character DLC.

There does not seem to be a pose for sitting in chairs, the character model just stays in it's idle pose.
Any chance you're going to add that?

@Naplucia
Thank you for sending the log
When I checked, I found that the DLL files that make up the mod were loaded and executed many times.
This is completely unexpected behavior, and there is a possibility that something is wrong with the FTD itself.
There are still many things I don't understand, so I'll investigate in detail later.

The root cause is still unknown, but I added some code that might work around the problem and tried uploading it
(FTD version 3.7.3, Mod version 2.0.2)

If you don't mind, could you please send the log to the following email address?
huwahuwa314@gmail.com

I check the logs by myself and i found theses lines:

|*Error : PopupDev, FailTesting
From UnityEngine: The AssetBundle 'C:\Users\Florian\Documents\From The Depths\Mods\VRMLoader\AssetBundle\assets' can't be loaded because another AssetBundle with the same files is already loaded.

I'm not in your discord.
There a way to send a private message with the log?

I'm sorry to trouble you, but I would like to check the log
Immediately after starting FTD and confirming that the number of tabs has increased,
C:\Users\USER_NAME\Documents\From The Depths\Logs
Can you send me a recent text file in this folder via Discord?

Still don't work. But there only 3 tab.
A thing: I don't use any DLC, in case it explain.

I temporarily stopped the function to load VRM immediately after starting FTD and tried building again (FTD version 3.7.3, Mod version 2.0.1)
I would appreciate it if you could check whether the problem of multiple tabs occurring is resolved.

Thank you for teaching
But I couldn't reproduce the problem
