Projects .vir file is zero filled #42

Closed maffeirw closed 11 years ago

maffeirw commented 11 years ago

When I use the any effect in projects and I generate a Vixen .vir file, it's zero filled. Below is the result I get from my Fire (Arthur Brown) Project (for EVES_NG) even though the EVES_NG~HALLOWEENCHASETOPEAK effect generates a Vixen .vir file without problem when run on its own.

This generated a zero filled effect due to an error in the size of the arrays (See the INVALID comment above). This may be an old error that was fixed as we worked through some of the issue with single strand effects. I will try to recreate this error on your account. Realize that when nutcracker encounters an error (such as the blank result that it received when it tried to generate the single strand effect) it 'punts' and fills that effects with zeros. The program does extensive error checking before joining the effects together in the master file.

Tested both locally and on the meighan.net server. Worked fine. I believe this is an old bug so I will close it
