Oh, man. I'm having an ERC-JCM nightmare, here. :scared:
I'm working on creating some conforming clothes for Antonia, so I have Antonia and her conformed clothes all loaded into a .pz3 file. The .pz3 gets opened and saved repeatedly, during development. Most of Antonia's body parts are hidden, through all of this, because of the clothes.
Somewhere along the line, Poser 8 is dropping all of Antonia's ERC from her joint-controlled morphs. :crying: :scared: I've seen this happen before, but never with a conforming parent. In the past it's only affected conformers. And it's never been this prevalent. The problem relates to actor visibility at the time of saving the file, somehow. I'd thought it wouldn't affect actors which were turned off individually, as that seemed true previously. It no longer seems to be the case. An actor which is hidden seems to be at risk of not having its ERC lines saved by Poser.
I'm going to see if all of the ERC can be re-inserted with a pose. Hopefully.... :unsure: Antonia has a LOT of JCM ERC, and I don't want to have to keep replacing it by hand. :scared:
Thought I should bring up this problem here, since it will presumably affect others as well, once Antonia has some garments.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
