Ok I thought perhaps CL would have fixed this in the latest rev of P5 but they apparently didn't. I refer to the multi channel magnet bug where, upon loading a figure using clothes modified by body shaping magnets (like Veronica Vixxen), P5 duplicates all the magnet channels for the clothes and sets them to 1. This causes all the clothes to be 200% modified. Worse yet it does not happen upon saving or I'd write a python script or something which could go through and massage the file. Instead it does this upon load time so you're screwed. So I have two disgusting options 1) Reload the figure by systematically deleting all clothes files then the figure and hope memory doesn't get messed up. 2) Systematically go through every stinking piece of clothes and zero every second magnet channel which goes oh so damn fast with P5s slow interface. Wyrmmaster's little double fix doesn't work in all cases. I even made up a set of pose files to turn off any mag channel named with a 2,3,...9 figure number. No luck. I also intentionally renamed all the magnets on each figure to seperate names to avoid any cross talk. No luck. Oh and this is really great too when you got 3 vicky's on the screen in clothes and your p5 render locks rendering the last two render buckets at the bottom or P5 locks when you stop in a render to fix a light or something. Then its reload and start ALLLLLL over. Sorry but this is such a huge time waster and quite frankily I think this could have been fixed very easily by CL. Its not like its not reproducable and not like no one has ever complained about it. Magnets make V3 useful for me. I can shape her anyway I want and the clothes just fit. Plus each girl can have a different shape and I don't have to support lots of morph targets. Thanks a lot CL. Maybe if you had spent more time fixing really important bugs instead of putting a content section in P5 I'd be a bit more satisfied.
