KNOWN BUGS

- VR UI scroll on right controller is left to right instead up down
- changing poses is not seamless, character moves for a fraction of a second to the center position
- default position for the UI flag cursor (spawn location for atoms) is not ideal in Alive Home, inside the scene
- html UI changes for subversions (v41.1,v42.2) won't appear due to cache, that refreshes only at major version changes; can be forced to refresh manually by deleting the apps directory in Saves\PluginData\Aeternum\Ae\Html\apps\ and restarting the UI

INSTRUCTIONS

- Alive.cslist  - classic plugin. this is the plugin that you add to Person atoms that you want to be more dynamic, have expressions, move around,etc.
- Aeternum.cslist - you can add this as a session plugin and the new UI will appear appear and allow for more customization & options for the scene and the person atoms that have the Alive plugin

On desktop, F2 toggles the UI on and off. There's also a button for that in the normal vam UI of the plugin.
In VR the UI should appear by default as a watch on the right hand. You can change the hand and the size from the aeternum.cslist plugin settings.
In VR I recommend enabling my 1st person locomotion setting, especially for larger maps like Alive Home. It has faster movement & snap turning.
In VR in steam vr mode I recommend enabling my VR lasers setting for Alive Home to see more easily what you're pointing at, the vam lasers used with steamvr sometimes have an offset otherwise

REQUIREMENTS

Alive is a local plugin and does not connect to the internet. However it uses the web browser atom to render the UI in it, so you need web browsers enabled if you want to use the new UI.

In User preferences Security these need to be enabled: Enabled plugins, Allow Plugin Network Access, Enable Web Browsers, Allow All Sites.

If you want to keep the sites whitelist enabled, you can add this to your whitelist.json file to whitelist the UI: "Saves/PluginData/Aeternum/Ae/Html/mainmenu.html"
