Do You Need Help? Post it here / XLights View on latest version

« on: December 29, 2019, 06:59:44 PM »

I have downloaded the latest version of Xlights 219.72. The screens look blurry to me and the view fonts are huge. I am assuming it's my computer display but i have not found any settings that work. Thanks.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Shapes effect

« on: July 17, 2018, 08:19:13 PM »

I am trying to use the Shapes effect in X-Lights. I have downloaded some fonts. Object to draw is emoji. I can find my fonts and bring them up in characters. My problem is with the numbers listed next to the characters. I have about 913000 choices and my emojis don't automatically show up. I know there is a easy way to bring up my emojis without sorting through 900000 choices, but I can't figure it out. I watched Keith's video and it got me this far. Thanks, Chris

xLights Convert / Re: Is it possible to convert a Lor Pixel editor sequence to Xlights?

« on: November 29, 2016, 10:15:24 PM »

I have about ten sequences that I need to convert from Lor Pixel Editor .lpe files to Xlights. I would be more than happy to pay for this service as I don't want to re-sequence all of these songs.

I believe lms and sup files are the only LoR files that will work. I gave up on LoR a while ago so I don't know, but can't you save pe as se (lms)?

No, because all of the data from the lpe file is represented as a single data line in the lms file and all of the effects are hidden.

xLights Convert / Converting a 2000 pixel mega tree from LOR

« on: November 29, 2016, 08:51:52 PM »

What is the easiest way to convert my 2000 channel rgb Lor mega tree model to Xlights? I have mapped all of the AC channels but there has to be an easier way than converting each channel one by one.

Do other effects look OK? Just making sure you don't have the order wrong (RGB, BGR, etc).

If you apply simple effects, just red, blue, or green what does it look like?

RGB all look great. Purple, orange, teal all good. It's just yellow. I'm sitting outside now trying all different combinations and I can't change the greenish yellow to green, I have also checked with my family and neighbors to make sure it's not just me.

If it's not hue then you may need to lower the green dimming curve for the model.

I really thought this was it. When I lowered just the green dimming curve it just got darker, but the same greenish tint. I then just tried on with yellow and it's the same problem, can't get rid of the greenish tint.

There's a hue shift slider in the effect window.  Make sure it's set at 0 and that should give you the nice red, orange and yellow colors for the effect.

Hue is at zero and it's still greenish

Nutcracker Effects / Fire effect

« on: November 02, 2016, 09:33:58 PM »

I am having trouble with the fire effect. I have a 1500 pixel matrix. I have the falcon turned down to 40%. The bottom of the fire effect is more green than yellow. Adjusting the value on the Falcon just dims the pixels but it doesn't change the color. I can't seem to find the right setting in X-lights either. I'm sure it's something simple.

It looks like a FF16v2 mapping error on my part. You can't clone without saving. Thanks

If the color order is configured correctly, another thing that causes incorrect colors is if your channel mapping is of by 1 or 2 somewhere

I really believe this is it but I can't find that rogue channel mapping error anywhere.

Did you try changing your color order in xlights Rgb, brg, ect. If you are using different types of strings and sometimes from different vendors  you will have to switch the color order in xlight. I use test mode to find the color order that I need. Hopefully that helps.

I did change the order in X-lights and it worked but that same strand of lights works as it should rgb on any other controller including the one I'm testing it on when I test from the controller itself.

I have been working on this for too long.

I have mapped all my channels in X-lights. The first 20 universes are all working fine. Somewhere after that When I ask for red pixels I'm getting blue. I have configured my F16v2 to match my channel assignments and when I run a red ramp test all pixels are red, so I don't believe it is a F16v2 set-up issue nor does it seem like a rgb to brg issue. I am testing outputs 4-9. Outputs 4 and 5 are showing red and 6-9 are showing blue. I have tried this on the X-lights test page that shows the channel number as red but it turns on blue. I have also ran a test sequence and the colors are still reversed. I'm lost. I have looked over my channel set-up and i can't find the error. I didn't post any screen shots because I don't know what would be helpful here.

Yes you can move a group of models.

On the Official Nutcracker Facebook page, I recently posted a video of how to do it.  Search for "Tip" and it should be one of the first two results.  16-May-16.

That's where I saw it before. I can highlight them all with shift, but when I switch to control only one of the items moves. When using shift they all turn yellow as you demonstrated, then when I switch to control, only the one I click on remains yellow, the rest go to white and only the yellow one moves. I then played with it and I could only get it to work if I highlighted one item, hit shift and highlighted them all, then hit control and grabbed it from the corner of the highlighted one. Then they all moved just as you described. Thank you for your video.
