August Update - Next Gen Virt-a-Mate plugin

Hi Guys,

Damn do I have a treat for you this month!

I've been promising this for a long time and I finally got around to it. I have re-written my Serial Controller plugin for Virt-a-Mate and I am really excited to share the results with you.

This is the third version of this plugin, but I believe that this represents a massive step change in the OSR2/SR6 VaM user experience. This is because there are two new features that make a world of difference.

The first is the way that this plugin tracks character movement. For this I have some totally new code, and for this I have to credit the work of a user called VAMRobot. With this plugin there is no need to select the female or target body part, nor do you have to set any motion tracking limits. All of this is now automated, allowing you to chop and change mode of pleasure or female without needing to touch the plugin at all.

The second is a feature that takes advantage of a new capability in TCode v0.3. The plugin has the same set of sliders to allow you to set your preferred movement ranges on your OSR2/SR6. What I've added is a button that saves this information to your TCode device. What this means is that whenever you open the serial connection the plugin instantly and automatically loads up your setup preferences. You don't have to set them for each scene, or mess about with .JSON files on your computer or anything like that. Just plug in and press go, and it's all set up.

With this new plugin you simply load your scene of choice, drop in the plugin, start serial and that's it! You still have to select your comm port, but literally everything else is automated.

I still have a couple of bugs to iron out, but I intend to get up the plugin as an $8 tier release in the next couple of days. I also intend to do a quick blog post, probably a video, showing the new plugin in operation. That will be a $2 tier release.

This plugin release is an initial bare bones version: 3 movement axes and 2 rotation axes fully automated. Going forward I will be adding in a bunch of new features. I want to get in twist support, as well as female hand tracking. T-Valve, vibration and lube functions will also be added, and I have some really cool ideas for those!

Finally, for those of you using the Romeo I have attached the latest firmware update. This fixes a small bug in the user preferences storage function. Definitely worth the update if you're going to use the new plugin!

Watch this space!
