I have a xpresso, coffee script combo that has been running fine on 11.5 and 12. I gave it to someone who is running r13 and it doesn't work in the renderer. I've put every debug line I could think of, but the console output tells me its running perfectly.

The script first reads a txt file in the form of 0 and 1's. It then adjusts two selection tags to have a polygon to be selected or deselected based on the cache. So every frame it reads a new txt file, the updates the selection tags of the object. Works fine in 12 and below but not in 13. It renders but the tags don't seem to update.

Rendering with Standard renderer.

//sets up the selections
		var flatSelectTag = AllocTag(Tpolygonselection);
		flatSelectTag#ID_BASELIST_NAME = "flatSelection";
		var f = new(BaseSelect);
		f->Init();
  
		var distortSelectTag = AllocTag(Tpolygonselection);
		distortSelectTag#ID_BASELIST_NAME = "distortSelection";
		var d = new(BaseSelect);
		d->Init();
  
//gets the cache txt
  
		var fileString = stradd(cacheFolder, "\\", name, tostring(int(frame)), ".txt");
		var myFilename =  new (Filename);
		myFilename->SetFullString(fileString);
		var file = new(BaseFile);
  
	  file->Open(myFilename, FILEOPEN_READ, FILE_DIALOG);
		var fileLength = file->GetLength();
		var i = 0;
		var capturedString;
		var distortFlag;
  
		//reads characters; selects which polygons are on one tag and which are on another
		for(i = 0; i < fileLength; i++)
		{
			capturedString = file->ReadChar();
			//println(capturedString);
			
			if(capturedString == 0)
			{
				f->Select(i);
			}
			else
			{
				d->Select(i);
			}
		}
  
//sets seelction and closes file
		
		flatSelectTag->SetSelection(f);
		myObj->InsertTag(flatSelectTag);
  
		distortSelectTag->SetSelection(d);
		myObj->InsertTag(distortSelectTag);
  
		file->Close();
		println(int(frame));

Anyone have an idea on changes between 12 and 13 that would cause something like this? Essentially, in the renderer, its not updating the selection tags as previously. Has there been a change?
