Updating and Removing EAUploader

Updating EAUploader

---

You can update EAUploader from VCC (or ALCOM).

1. In the VCC project list, open Manage Project for the project where EAUploader is installed.
2. Find Easy Avatar Uploader for VRChat in Manage Packages.
3. If a new version is available, press the update button (↑), or select the latest version from the version list.

After updating, open the project in Unity.

Note

If you updated from an older version, the first start asks whether to move your items to the new management method (Prefab Variants). See “Importing and Managing Avatars” for details.

Caution

Please back up your project before updating. See “Guide for New Users” for how to make a backup.

You can check the version of EAUploader currently installed in “Settings” on the Avatar List. Updates are announced on the GitHub releases page and the official Discord server.

Removing EAUploader from a Project

---

Press the ⊖ button of Easy Avatar Uploader for VRChat in VCC’s Manage Packages to remove EAUploader from the project.

Removing EAUploader does not delete data such as avatars or shaders. You can keep using the project as a regular Unity editor.

Files Created by EAUploader

EAUploader creates the following files and folders in the project.

Location	Contents
Assets/EAUploader/Prefabs/	Items managed by EAUploader (managed copies) and textures and materials created by edit tools
Assets/EAUploader/PrefabPreviews/	Preview images shown in the list
Assets/EAUploader/settings.json	Settings such as the language
Assets/EAUploader/tags.json	Tags and tag groups
Assets/EAUploader/EditorsManage.json	Information about registered edit tools
Assets/EAUploader/PrefabManager.json	A file kept for compatibility with older versions
EAUploaderLog/ (directly under the project folder)	Log files
Assets/VRM/	Avatars imported from VRM (only if you used VRM)

Danger

Assets/EAUploader/Prefabs/ contains the avatars you renamed in EAUploader or modified with edit tools. Do not delete it if you want to keep using these avatars after removing EAUploader. Also, Assets/VRM/ contains the imported VRM avatars themselves. Do not delete it if you are using VRM avatars.

If “Missing Script” Is Shown

EAUploader adds a component called “EAUploaderMeta” to its managed copies to manage items. Outfits put on with Dress Up (Compatible Outfits) get a component called “EAUploaderOutfit”. After removing EAUploader, these components may be shown as “Missing Script”. These components are removed on upload and do not affect the avatar’s appearance. If you do not need them, remove them from the Inspector.

Caution

For outfits put on with Dress Up (Compatible Outfits) without Modular Avatar, EAUploader merges them into the avatar’s bones at upload time. After removing EAUploader, this merge no longer happens, so the outfits will not be shown correctly.

If Problems Occur

---

If a problem occurs with EAUploader, first try restarting EAUploader. If that does not solve it, remove EAUploader from the project in VCC once and add it again.

See “FAQ and Troubleshooting” for details.
