A programming guru tests your eye for bugs in C. Bonus: Can you spot HIS mistake?

Just a minor delay. I'll try to look at blood-spurting next week! If you have other models that are taking a long time to load, they probably need that edit also.

@Pizza Time The SingleHead.mdl model is infected with the phantom chor problem To fix this file, load it into a text editor and delete everything from and including the first <ACTIONS> tag ... ... down to and including the </ACTION> tag: Don't leave a blank line where the cut was made. Then resave the file under a new name and don't use the old model. If this model was cut from another model, that same edit and resave will need to be done to that other model before you use it again.0

About that file that was a problem today... it has a zillion phantom ChorActions in it. That was a problem when that file was created in v15. If I resave the model from v19.5 it goes from 2.4 megs to 17.2 megs. Ouch. All the empty ChorActions get populated with populated with default details:

That's a funny series you've got going there, Chuck! Everyone be sure to check out Chuck's TheSuperMegaFox channel for more R-rated fun...

Hooray! Now you wait.

When following a tutorial that teaches by making incremental additions to an previous project or when developing your own program in an incremental way, you may wish to leave an existing project as it is and proceed to work on a copy. Lets say I have project in my Visual Studio Solution named Wash002 and that I wish to preserve it as is and proceed with a copy of it. On your hard drive , find the folder that contains it. Copy the folder and paste it into the same directory. Rename the copied folder. I will name mine Wash003. In a program such as Notepad++ do Search> Find in Files... Use it to replace all text instances of "Wash002" with "Wash003" Do the same to replace the ALL CAPS version of the project name... Next use a utility like Power Rename (found in free MS Power Toys) to change all filenames in folder Wash003 that have a "Wash002" in their name to "Wash003" Next in Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer, on your Solution title>Add>Existing Project... Navigate to your new project folder, open it and choose the .vcxproj file... In Visual Studio do File>Save All to make the newly added project saved in your Solution. I think this will work. @Rodney @Roger

Roll over!
