Title: Colors reversed in models after importing sequence
Post by: robskimeister on December 24, 2015, 12:55:51 PM
Hi!  I'm having a major crisis with my display!  Everything was working fine until I recently imported a sequence.  I think I found a glitch of some sort.

I have several models that were set to RBG instead of RGB in the model definitions because the actual pixels use a different color order.  All was working fine.

Now after importing a sequence I just noticed that the RED and BLUE colors are reversed! ...and this occurs in all my existing sequences now.

In the Xlights preview everything is correct.  When I play the sequence from Xlights, the actual colors are reversed.

When I play a sequence from FPP, they're also reversed.

Where in the xml files is this information stored, or is there a way to change it back?

I've tried changing to a different color combination in the properties, and then changing it back, but still won't work.

Does anyone have any ideas of a quick way to fix this?   Any suggestions are very much appreciated!

The information is stored against your models in the xlifghts_rgbeffects xml file in your show directory.

What controller are u using - u should be able to change the orientation there without touching anything elsewhere.

If not , then u will have to change the model definition (u can use the modify Model functionality) , then save the models. Close xl and open again (probably overkill) . Then open and save  each sequence  again  (delete previous fseq  just to be safe).

Am not sure if u have to reimport after changing the model definition..

Thanks for the info. I ended up just changing the color order for the models.  Barely got the changes done in time for the show tonight!
