Nutcracker Effects / Marquee

« on: September 18, 2015, 02:10:54 PM »

Is the Marquee effect supposed to work on a model group?  It doesn't seem to work on a group in 4.2.9.

LOR / Re: Xlights to LOR conversion

I thought I had started from scratch, but to be sure, did it again from scratch and problem is not there.  So apparently I did copy over more than I wanted.  I may have simply saved previous sequence in new directory.  I will advise if it happens again. 
I appreciate the help.

When I do the conversion, there seems to be a pause around channel 2400, the last channel used, at the bottom left, but the numbers keep scrolling on until it reaches 35699 as you can see in the bottom left of the convert jpg.

LOR / Xlights to LOR conversion

« on: June 11, 2015, 08:41:31 AM »

I am trying to convert portion of my program from Xlights to a LOR animation sequence.  I originally played with over 50 universes in Xlights.  I changed the show directory, deleted the configuration and reset it with 6 E1.31 universes. I did some patterns on the 80 spindles around my front porch, 10 lights per spindle in 5 sections and export to LOR.  When I export to LOR, I end up with 30,000+ channels, taking long time to load and making it hard to edit in LOR.  I can get rid of the excess channels, but wonder how I end up with them, since I started in a new directory.  Any help is appreciated.

Thank you, in between posting and reading your answer, I figured it out!  Great when you can answer your own questions, sometimes just writing them down gets the brain going.

Can you have two different setups in xlights?

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Meteors won't play on group

« on: May 12, 2015, 02:12:54 PM »

I have a group of models.  When I apply the meteor effect on each one, it displays in preview mode just fine.  However, if I apply it to a group of the same elements, it won't show in preview.
Any ideas?

Xlights Setup / Channel Numbers

« on: April 28, 2015, 11:49:27 AM »

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep track of xlights channel numbers which run sequentially vs universe channels which run 1-510.  Attached is part of my set up.  I an running 10 pixels on each spindle around my porch.  Physically, they can't all run off the same controller.  And to keep the fabricated props manageable, there are 13 total.  The total number in each group is either 50, 60 or 70 due to layout.  Is there any simple system to matching up the xlights mapping, ie channels 14764 to 15273 for universe 23 to the channels 151, 361 etc?  I know the math is simple if put on a spread sheet, but any ideas are appreciated.  See the info attached.
