Lo and behold, the code worked as I had intended it to. I rebooted into my Linux partition, and again, the code works perfectly. Same code, 3 operating systems tested, and for some reason Windows doesn't behave properly. He suggested that this may be an issue with Windows firewall, but I don't have problems with any of the other OSC stuff (all running on the same port). On the Linux end I have a source-built version of ChucK for JACK, and on the Windows end I'm using precompiled binaries (both downloaded on the same day from the ChucK website). Just thought I'd let it be known here FWIW. Thanks very
much for the help Kassen! Take care.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>-chris wicks</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Kassen <signal.automatique@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> [chriswicks] <crwicks@yahoo.com>; ChucK Users Mailing List <chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Saturday, May 26, 2012 12:51 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [chuck-users] a little debugging help for frozen VM!<br> </font> </div> <br>

This works, and b3base gets added twice to the VM as it should in the first runthrough. I have it printing out the value for pedCount at the beginning, and it only does so once...so, it prints out the value 25 for pedCount and then I never see it printing again after that, just the OSC values ticking by (I currently have my OSC sender set to send values from 25 down to 6, then resetting back to 25, every 2 seconds, and it prints to the VM every time it sends a value so I can see that that part, at least, is working). Interestingly, I also don't get any response from the VM when I send it a 'chuck ^' command...the OSC values keep on ticking by, and the audio keeps playing as it should, it just doesn't send out a<br>> response. It does, however, respond to
--kill and --removeall commands.<br><br>That is a very good strategy; to add lines that print the value of<br>your variables. You can also add print commants at various parts in the<br>code to see how execution flows. If that doesn't help I'd try<br>simplifying the situation in some temporary copies of my files. This<br>may well take longer than writing the code did, such is the of a <br>programmer. The good news is you'll learn.<br><br>Yours,<br>Kas.<br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
