Your .var library, but faster, smarter, and available everywhere. 💖
Manage your collection from your PC, or stay cozy in bed and use your phone. 🛌💤
Hi! This is YAVAM. It's a standalone tool designed to be the "Brain" for your massive Virt-A-Mate content collection. 🧠
It indexes everything (and I mean everything, thousands of files in seconds), figures out what's inside them, and gives you a beautiful grid to browse. Best of all? It runs a local server so you can access it from any device on your Wi-Fi.
It doesn't touch your game files, it doesn't make a mess, and it just works. Even with NAS drives! 📂✨
Why sit at your desk to organize files?
- Control from Anywhere: Enable the web server in settings, and boom! Your entire library is on your phone/tablet.
- Lazy Mode: Toggling a package on your phone instantly updates it on your PC. It’s magic.
- Wireless Drop: Drag & drop
.varfiles into your browser on your desktop to wirelessly upload them to your main library. No cables, no hassle.
- No more guessing: YAVAM looks inside the zip files to tell you if a package is a "Look", "Scene", "Clothing", or "Script" automatically.
- Dependencies? Solved: Instantly spot packages that are missing files so you can fix them.
- Dupes be gone: It finds duplicate packages (same file, different versions) and lets you resolve them with one click.
- Bad File Protection: Automatically flags corrupt
.varfiles (broken zips) so you know exactly which packages need re-downloading. 🚨
- Non-Destructive: It reads your files exactly where they are. No moving, no copying, no weird
_datafolders cluttering your drive. - Game Independent: You don't even need Virt-A-Mate installed! It works perfectly as a pure
.varbrowser for backups or external drives. - Clean & Fast: It’s built to fly through hundreds of packages without stuttering.
- Grab the latest
YAVAM.exefrom Releases. - Run it! (It's portable).
- First Launch: Just point it to any folder where you keep your
.varfiles. - Go Remote: Head to
Settings->Network, check "Run Web Server", and visit the address shown on your phone!
Once you turn on the server, just type your PC's IP into any browser:
http://<YOUR-PC-IP>:8080 (e.g., http://192.168.1.15:8080)
