xLights Convert / VSA Import Error

« on: July 04, 2021, 07:15:26 PM »

I am getting the "Unsupported Event Type! Halted".  Then follows the following pop-up.  My VSA files are older perhaps v.4.0, but they still should import.  I am including one of my files if you could take a look.  Thanks.

What new effects you would like to see / Expand Radius 2 in Shockwave effect

« on: March 01, 2021, 10:35:39 AM »

I can see that the shockwave effect max radius (radius 2) was expanded from 200 to 250 in release 4.2.23.  Is there any way possible that the max radius can be expanded to 400 or something larger than the current 250?  I am looking to do a shockwave from one side of the layout to the other and I am only getting a little more than halfway.  Expanding the buffer in the layer settings doesn't do much and lowering the max grid size from 400 to 200 in the layout tab works, but is not an option at this time.  Thanks.

This is for a single strand of lights.  I don't think you understood what I was asking.

What new effects you would like to see / Single Strand Effect with Fade in and Fade out

« on: August 23, 2020, 06:17:37 PM »

The present Single strand effect works really good for what is does, including bounce, skips, etc.  I was looking for a single strand effect that fades in and out, say, a string of 15 pixels moving across the house outline (eaves), where the first 5 pixels are a ramp from 0 to 100 intensity, the next 5 pixels are full intensity, and then the last 5 pixels are a ramp down from 100 to 0 intensity.  You should be able to pick the chase size, the number to ramp up, the number to ramp down, as well as the number of cycles and chase type.
I realize I am asking a lot, but it would be a nice effect.
I would use this on top of an on effect of a different color(not at full intensity).
Thanks

Thanks.  I forgot to mention it is at the beginning of the song and there is not much room for the effect to grow, so I will have to play with it some more.

Nutcracker Effects / Full on Meteor effect

« on: August 25, 2018, 07:21:04 AM »

I am trying to fade in a full on meteor effect as a layered effect, but I can't seem to get the meteor to come on (say a full house) with out it moving from one side to the other or from top to bottom.  I want the effect to be on the entire house but covering the entire house when it comes on.  I thought I remember a setting for this, but can't find it.  Thanks for your help.

I use the RGBW model for my MightyMini floods.  Like Gil said, they are basically a four channel string.

I haven't done this in a while, but I am moving some models from one computer to another and if I right click on the model and export model, the "export sequence" window comes up.  Am I missing something?  Thanks for your help.

Shared Effect Presets / Re: SineDoubleSpiral

« on: October 15, 2016, 11:53:09 AM »

I've been playing with the spiral effects and I have to say that Gil, Dan, and Keith have given us some wonderful effects to work with.  The possibilities are out there for the creative ones.   I also would like to point out that if you ask Gil an intelligent question, he gives good advice, so I named one of my effects for his help creating it.
I am adding two more for those that need effects for their sequences.  I hope you enjoy.

Here are three more.  The first effect was the start of the SineDoubleSpiral that I played with the value curves.

Shared Effect Presets / SineDoubleSpiral

« on: October 13, 2016, 04:49:25 PM »

Here is an effect I thought I'd share.  It was made on 16x50 tree, 270 degrees.

The second effect is modified from the original to make a cleaner single layer effect.  It just shows what can be done with a simple effect and the value curves.

There are more effects below.
