Getting started
VNyan can be installed automatically through the Itch app. Simply open the Itch app, navigate to the VNyan page. Here, click install, select the install location, and wait for installation to be completed!
Alternatively, VNyan can be installed manually. Download the VNyan .zip folder on Itch and extract in the desired location.
If VNyan is installed through the Itch App, it can be ran by pressing the Play button in the bottom right on VNyan's Itch page. VNyan can also be launched by opening the VNyan.exe file in the install folder without opening the Itch App. Using VNyan.exe, Vnyan can also be launched in administrator mode. Running VNyan through the Itch App requires your install be up-to-date.
When you first open VNyan, you will be greeted by a startup wizard.
If you experience lag with VNyan, you can start it in GPU Priority mode. There is a cmd file VNyan_GPUPriority.cmd that you can run instead of VNyan.exe which will open using this setting. This will also run VNyan with Administrator privileges.
Alternatively, you can create a shortcut for VNyan.exe and put -gpu at the end of the Target line (after <InstallFolder>\vnyan\VNyan.exe). Just make sure to also set VNyan to run with Admin privileges.
If VNyan was installed through the Itch App, to update, simply open the Itch App, navigate to the VNyan page, and press Update in the lower right corner. Make sure that the itch.io app updates VNyan into the same installation folder rather than making new folders.
To update a manual install of VNyan, download the latest version, extract the archive and put it in your pre-existing install folder with replacement.
If items or plugins are missing after installing a new version, it is possible that you are running VNyan from a different folder as before. Try to find your previous install folder for VNyan and run VNyan.exe from there.
As VNyan is in active development, updates are not backwards compatible. Graphs may break if you try to downgrade VNyan to previous versions. In particular, if a newer version has a new node that the older version does not, any graph that contains this new node will be broken along with every other graph after it. If you need to use a previous version, try removing the newer nodes in the latest version before downgrading.
VNyan saves most of its settings in your AppData LocalLow folder.
Typical path: C:\Users\USERNAME_HERE\AppData\LocalLow\Suvidriel\VNyan. (Note that the AppData folder is typically hidden.)
Here you can find your main profile's loaded graphs named redeems*.json (with * being the graph number starting from 1, with the first graph being names simply redeems.json), settings named settings.json, various log files, a folder of backups for your graph and settings files, and a folder for additional profiles. Each profile itself is another folder with similar organization.
VNyan saves a backup of all your graphs and settings once every day that VNyan is opened if they have been modified. You can find these backups under C:\Users\USERNAME_HERE\AppData\LocalLow\Suvidriel\VNyan\backup. If you lose your graphs or settings for whatever reason, you can check here and use the files from a previous date.
