As promised here is the new test version that allows you to add new bones: http://www.mediafire.com/?y6988frf8y8dm6t

Please try to make it fail

I need to know this is stable for any GR2 file you try to open and add bones to. This is the basis for adding everything else

Whenever you save a file with new bones ALWAYS try to open it back up with the app AND Granny Viewer. This is the only way to see if the file was written correctly and contains no errors. Ensure to check the Skeleton and ExporterInfo sections in Granny Viewer (and their extended data).

You cannot add bones to a GR2 file if it has no model or skeleton or at least one bone. I just haven't coded those yet. I use the one bone to setup new pointers for the new bone.

The adding of new bones is not optimized. It's rather a brute force approach that it takes. Thus it could take a little time to add the new bone to the file. Be patient. Optimizing comes after everything works

You'll notice that I let Sentinel be of use to you all. Most of the commands are enabled, those that aren't require a password to unlock (some commands don't show until password is entered also). Press F1 to show/hide Sentinel window. And no you cannot have the password. There is WAY too much power enabled for file changing when the password is input

You'll cause more harm to the file if you don't know what you're doing and thus no password is being given. Remember I said Sentinel is the overall master of the file - it has the power to do anything with the file.

I haven't checked the importer/exporter with this version so someone test it and see how it works.

There are some problems with picking, specifically selecting faces. If you rotate the mesh then try to pick individual faces they'll select incorrectly. Working on the fix currently.

Any other errors you notice let me know
