Morph Var files - A real problem.
🕑 Added 2022-12-11 17:06:28 +0000 UTCThe following is a message i received from a hub creator. When i looked deeper into it I found I had the same issue, and I am guessing most of you here will have it as well due to some of my content. (Sorry about that but I didn't know about it until now). If you follow this information you can clean it out. you may start noticing some load error looking for dependencies afterwards. these are not real critical dependencies and can be ignored. going forward I will bee checking morphs with a fine tune comb so we all can avoid this crap in the future.
Full Credit to Ascorad for sending this out.
Hi there! I wanted to reach out and let you know that I've been working with a few other creators trying to resolve an issue with certain dependencies and I noticed that your scene has the one's we're seeing spread quite a lot.
JoyBoy.Andi_Collection.latest, JoyBoy.Andi_Secretary_Female_Set.latest, and TKB.Andi-Futa__Secretary_Pinup.1 have been causing some frustrating issues. I fought with JoyBoy.Andi_Collection.latest myself and it was a real pain to figure out what was going on and get rid of. I knew that I never intentionally downloaded it, and you might be in the same boat as me in that regard. If you're using these intentionally, then please disregard my message, but if not, I can help you scrub them from your VAR for your next update.
Myself and a few others are trying to get the word out about this. We're not exactly sure why it happens, but we have figured out how. You may already know this, but there's a male morph called OpenXXL that becomes active whenever the "Auto Male Genital/Anus Morphs" box is checked for the male character. For some reason the built-in version of that morph isn't always the one that gets activated when that box is checked and VaM can grab it from any VAR (like one of the three mentioned above) instead. This causes a completely unnecessary dependency, and in this case, for an additional VAR that's over 100MB. The worst part is, whenever downloaded by someone else, it will end up spreading to any scene that they create with the "Auto Male Genital/Anus Morphs" box checked, and on and on with anyone else who has that dependency—spreading like a virus. If you sort scenes by most downloaded, you'll see how many downloads the Andi_Collection scene has. I don't know how many are intentional downloads, but it's a fair assumption to say many are not intentional due to the fact that most people don't even realize they have it, as well as the way it seems to be spreading, and the difficulty in completely getting rid of it. This issue is unfortunately extremely widespread.
So, in short, the best/quickest way to get rid of it is to disable/delete the two VAR files listed above, hard reset, go into one of your scenes with a male character, uncheck then recheck "Auto Male Genital/Anus Morphs", then go into the male morphs and look at the OpenXXL morph. If it's still pink/red, you have another VAR infected with it that needs to be disabled/deleted. Just hover over the cube icon and find that one and disable/delete it too. Personally, I just deleted every VAR that popped up with that morph to finally rid myself of it!
I have no idea why VaM grabs the incorrect morph, but with 2.x on the way, I doubt they'll put much effort into resolving it. I just wanted to give you a friendly heads up
Hopefully the community itself can reduce the exposure to unnecessary dependencies like these!
Thank you for your time!!
