Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: Copy/Paste layer settings?

« on: October 15, 2020, 05:21:26 PM »

So the best way I found was to edit the .fsq or .xml file and just cut and paste in the new coordinates.

<Effect>B_CUSTOM_SubBuffer=0.00x58.65x99.77x101.00,E_CHOICE_Faces_Eyes=(off),E_CHOICE_Faces_FaceDefinition=Skull 1,E_CHOICE_Faces_TimingTrack=Siamese_Lyric</Effect>
<Effect>B_CUSTOM_SubBuffer=0.00x58.65x99.77x101.00,E_CHOICE_Faces_Eyes=Auto,E_CHOICE_Faces_FaceDefinition=Skull 1,E_CHOICE_Faces_TimingTrack=Siamese_Lyric</Effect>

<Effect>B_CUSTOM_SubBuffer=0.00x29.00x99.00x70.00,E_CHOICE_Faces_Eyes=(off),E_CHOICE_Faces_FaceDefinition=Skull 2,E_CHOICE_Faces_TimingTrack=Siamese_Lyric</Effect>

I have a shared sequence that has faces that I want to change from a horizontal matrix to a flat vertical tree.  I want to divide the tree into three layers so I can put one face on the top middle and bottom.  I can do this by moving the layer box top, middle and bottom.  Can I apply that to each column in a row somehow, instead of clicking on each one and moving the boxes?

Thanks,

Rob

General Software / Re: J1SysP12 controller upload error.

« on: September 27, 2020, 07:51:00 PM »

Hi Keith,

Since it looks like the J1Sys-P12S boards do not have "Auto Layout Models and Auto Size", should I start the controller at some large universe, say 100 or 200?  That way if my F4v3s change they can grow if I add more props to them.

For some reason the upload for the J1Sys-P12S is not working for me, even after I manually set it up.

Is it OK to have universe gaps between controllers?

Thanks,

Rob

Well I solved my problem by using the #31:1 style format to give each port its own universe.  I know this is not the preferred option, but I wanted to not have to power inject on these props and I could not see another way to get it to work.  Once I did this manually things started to work correctly.  I hope the gaps don't cause any show problems.

Hi All,

I'm trying to do an upload to my controller, but I get an error "Controller 192.168.1.182 too many output required for port 3"  I think I only have 49 pixels mapped to port 3.  Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Xlights Setup / Matrix setup 24x48

« on: October 14, 2019, 09:54:37 AM »

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup a matrix on two ports of my F4v3.  Just wondering if my setup is correct, I'm a bit confused if I can have one model or do I have to split it into two?  I setup a model of 2 strings, 576 nodes/string and 12 strands/string so 1152 pixels.  Start channel is universe 10:1, will it magically know that the second string stars on port 2 of the controller?

Thanks,
Rob

Never mind, user error, I guess when you name you group model similar to your half model and  put effects on the half model that makes sense.  Now that I have the effects on the group model things are better.

Thanks,

Hi Kieth,

The stacking worked great on one of my sequences, but the next one I tried to fix the "Render Style" box only shows Default, Per Preview, Single Line and As Pixel, not option for stacking.  Any idea why that might be?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi All,

I have a matrix split between two controllers each half is 24 h x 24 w, so total 24x48.   Then I created a model, effects work fine, but not text.  Is it possible?



Thanks,

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: Timing tracks from Audacity.

« on: September 30, 2017, 04:27:12 PM »

OK so the first question is why am I using Audacity timing export when I can just add them in Xlights.  Turns out I installed 64bit xlights and 32bit Vamp.  Once I corrected that and created the timing though Xlights it works.

I created a new sequence with a song that I chopped up in Audacity.  I created beats timing with Audacity and imported it into my sequence.  I can see the timing, but it seems that I cannot click in the cells between each timing mark.  See the attachment I can't select a single cell.  Also I have been cutting and pasting from shared sequences, if that maters.  I must have dome something wrong, any thoughts.
Thanks,

« on: September 26, 2017, 05:55:14 AM »

Hi All,

I have a flake with six legs(sub models), and I light them to show the flake spinning.  I do this by lighting each leg one at a time with the on effect in a certain color.  If I copy those cell to another flake, is there a way to select all the cells and change the color?  I have tried, but have not had any luck.

Hope that makes sense,

Thanks,
Rob
