Yes that would be an option, except that for some reason Lilia did not entirely mirror the 2 megatree's only a subset of the png's. so they actually have different effects going on.

yes it does look like they are the same images from the sup file with a slightly different name. so the answer is to find the images and copy them to a different folder or just link to them instead. it is going to take some work though finding the right image in the megatree2 and renaming them. this could probably easy to do using notepad++ rather than clinking on every image an browsing for it. As the images are copywrite from the holidayseqeunces then they would not be able to to be added to the package that Lilia distributes. maybe Lilia can verify that you do have a license for the holidaysequence and send you the images folder that she had extracted for megatree2.

When importing the SUP file it will ask you to create a folder to put the images in.  import effects, select the sup file, select which model you want the effects to load on, then select a folder for the images to go into.

there appears that there are no images included with this sequence. so back to Sean and Lilia as to why. maybe they are out of town this weekend and not monitoring there emails.

Keith, thanks so much for the video on importing sequences, it make so much more sense now.

Yes you are right , there are no image files included with this sequence. However the mega tree is not included and it says in the readme for this that the Megatree sequence is available from holiday sequences



Additional file: This sequence was created around the animation superstar sequence Holidaysequences sells. There are two versions
12 CCR tree, $35: http://www.holidaysequences.com/12-Ribbon-CCR-Light-of-Christmas-p/12ccr-loc.htm
16 CCR tree, $47: http://www.holidaysequences.com/16-Ribbon-Owl-City-Light-of-Christmas-p/16ccr-loc.htm
These superstar sequences need to be purchases seperately and imported in using the "Import, Import Effects" feature of xLights.

So if I purchase a sequence from Lilia or Ron does that mean I have to put that sequence into my show directory? I store them in the purchased sequences folder (which is a set of sub folders below my home folder) and import effects from them. the paths are not fixed using this method.

I normally end up search / replace  the file paths directly in the XML file with notepad++. yes its not exactly what I would want but it works. maybe one day there will be a quicker and easier way to do this, or maybe I missed something and it is easy already.

The Water Cooler / Re: Chroma Pole Layout

« on: July 25, 2017, 11:53:09 AM »

My chroma poles are using boscoyo pixel strip and are 8ft tall. I do use 2" spacing so I get 46 nodes per strip. I actually use 92 node strings so 46 up then 46 down for 6 total strips. It uses 3 outputs on my f16v2 as I dont want to have to use any power injection.


in Xlights I have this modeled as a vertical matrix with 3 strings of 92 nodes with strands/string = 2


btw I always order my strings from Ray Wu as custom lengths which is determined by the needs of the element. These strings are 3" spacing between square pixels.

I model mine the same as a matrix in xlights.

That looks much better Dan with the drag and drop for the import effects on the Mac. thanks so much for fixing this. btw I like that the available model now is a different color when it as been used.

Not quite working


I drag from right model to left model for multiple rows and nothing is set in the left side


I have to drag right to left then click in a different cell for it to set.


I am on OS X Sierra 10.12.6  which is on the beta track so this may part of the issue. I can workaround this for now until Dan can take a look at the issue.

Sorry Gil, the email that I got when the thread was updated appears to come from Sean, got a little confused.


Anyway, I expected that the way this worked I would just drag and drop the model from the right side to my models on the left. and it does work except that you also have to press CR or click in another cell for it to show in the left side models map. I get your point about not selecting the left side first but as I was not seeing the model appear after dragging I was trying to figure out how it was working.

Yes that would explain what I was seeing as well. So a little bug in the import effects on the MAC. Was this behavior the same on the Windows version as well?


In the mean time I will hit enter after copying to the cell.
