Nutcracker Models / Re: questions about single color and how it maps to RGB

« on: December 27, 2014, 12:56:02 PM »

Just putting a bump in here to see if there has been any resolution to this as I'm having the same issue with all my super strands that I have in my display.... just trying to get away from using LOR and NC.... and just focus on NC...

Nutcracker Effects / Re: Getting the effect to not restart on next timing mark....

« on: December 14, 2014, 09:05:57 PM »

Yup. It was the fade in that was causing the restart.

Is this a desired effect or is this something that might be tweaked in the next major revision?

Thanks!

Nutcracker Effects / Getting the effect to not restart on next timing mark....

« on: December 14, 2014, 11:18:07 AM »

I know that this has probably been discussed before, but I have two models that I'm currently working with, my house eaves and windows and then my matrix.

My problem is that I have timing marks for my matrix because I'm changing the text that is scrolling and every new timing mark restarts the effect that I have currently playing on my other model. Is there a way around this or am I missing something simple?

xLights Convert / Re: Timings not correct from a LOR .LMS file convert

« on: December 12, 2014, 12:11:02 AM »

I think I found out what was going on...

Instead of creating a timing entry in XL/NC for JUST every tap I did, it created a timing mark for every tap AND for every effect I had already put in...

So my next thing to try is to just create the tap track FIRST, import into XL/NC to get the timing marks in, then go back and do my LOR sequencing and then CONVERT to then add the RGB effects....

Thanks!

xLights Convert / Timings not correct from a LOR .LMS file convert

« on: December 11, 2014, 06:02:06 PM »

Hey all,

I created a new musical sequence in LoR, sequenced my AC channels and then wanted to convert that file to xlights so that I can add my RGB effects using the same timings... but when I convert my .LMS seq into xLights, I get a WHOLE ton of extra timings, where as in my original "beat tapped" timing grid, there's a lot less...

Any ideas?

Do you have the LOR Control Panel open when trying to run sequences from the SE?

Nutcracker Models / Re: Making copies of models?

On the custom model screen, just highlight and copy the cells once your data is there as if it were Excel.

Create a new model and PASTE.

All the models will have 1,2,3,4,5,6 ETC.

The only difference is the name and starting channel.

Wicked. I'll give 'er a try.

Thanks!

Nutcracker Models / Making copies of models?

« on: December 03, 2014, 03:48:23 PM »

Hey everyone!

Just tweaking some stuff here wanted to add some more of my LOR channels into my current list of models...

Is there a way to make a custom model for something and then copy it like 8 times and just change the starting channel? It's getting annoying having to build the same thing over and over again....

Thanks!

Xlights Setup / Re: ENTEC Open DMX not supported?

« on: November 25, 2014, 05:43:22 PM »

God I'm so stupid sometimes...

Scrolled down the list a little further to see the Open DMX option there.

I tried that and it worked.... for the most part.

I'm still having an issue with 5 of my RGB floods (http://www.eliminatorlighting.com/pdffiles/electro86.pdf)

These, I have to have the control channel set at a DMX Value of 189. Very easy to do in LOR. So made a test sequence in LOR with that correct address at a DMX value of 189 for the entire sequence. Was not getting very good results even though everything else was working fine so far.

Any ideas on that?

More tinkering tomorrow.

***EDIT - After looking at the xLights/Nutcracker FB page, another user is having the same issue where a specific DMX value is NOT being converted correctly when going from LOR to xLights... anyone have some insight?

Version 3.6.7

I'll tinker around some more and see if I can't figure out what's happening.

Xlights Setup / ENTEC Open DMX not supported?

« on: November 23, 2014, 08:30:00 PM »

Just tried messing around with my Enttec Open DMX and NC and noticed that it wasn't listed in the supported devices list in the setup tab...

I tried it anyways and my results were not good. Is the Open version not supported?

Thanks!

LOR / Re: Do I have to run my LOR boxes in DMX to run it in Nutcracker?

« on: November 23, 2014, 01:44:11 PM »

Before I converted all my sequences, I also removed all the extraneous timings. Don't know if that would have helped or not.
