Title: dmx control issue
Post by: charlie-68 on August 09, 2018, 12:54:45 PM

In my display I have two mini trees by my mega tree. I was reviewing my sequences today and noted an oddity. The mini trees are two dmx controllers (item 27) single output for dumb pixels. They are connected to my hinks pix 16 dmx output. What I noticed that in the house preview the lights are in the correct position and the colors are correct, but when I look at the effect setting view the colors are reversed. I connected the mini trees to the controller and they have the same colors as in the model preview but in the effect window the colors are reversed. This is not a major issue with me as I only have two dumb props (the two trees) in my display. They have been in my display since I started this journey with my lights. I ONLY noticed it today, as I said not a major issue. It may cause some one a few headaches. Thanks  Charlie J.

So you mentioned a "house preview", an "effect setting view", "model preview", and "effect window".  I know what 2 of those are...what is an "effect setting view" and what are you calling the "effect window"?  We have the effect settings panel but it doesn't show any kind of color order.

I am saying the view in the effect setting window.  The lights in the 'effect setting' window is reversed from the view in the 'model preview' window.

I have no idea what an effect setting window is unless you are still using xLights 3.

OK, I had a dummy attack/ senior moment but I was looking at the names wrong. Its the house preview and the model preview panes. In the house preview the mini trees color is correct but in the effect preview the colors of the mini trees is reversed. Since they are dumb nodes they are setup in the previews as a single node thus one dot on my views. So between the two views the color of the trees (dots) are reversed. If you don't understand its ok because it does not effect my sequence. Thanks  Charlie J.

Maybe you would be better making a quick video showing the problem or find a time to jump into zoom to show us what you are seeing.

It would nice if you could package a sequence for us.  I've never seen it different between the windows.
