Do You Need Help? Post it here / XLghts on PC

« on: July 13, 2020, 06:05:55 PM »

Hello, I have Xlights running on my Mac for almost 3 years now, with no problems. I just tried downloading on my PC, made a new show folder, opened Xlights, went to layout tab and Xlights crashes.  Tried this many times and cannot do anything without it crashing.  The file directory name has OneDrive in it, not sure if this is causing the crash or not.  Cant seem to delete it from the file path name.

Thanks for the replies.  I watched a video today that Keith had made and it helped me a lot.  I highlighted the tree, hit control and the pad on Mac, that brought up where I could look at the wiring view and the node layout. 
     Yes Martin I have 48 individual strands of 100 lights spaced at 2" apart.  That makes the tree close to 17' tall.  I would like to make it taller next year.  I put in 48 strands, 100 nodes per strand, 180 degree, start bottom left, and then I made quite a few sub-models (ie:Left half, right half, top left half, bottom left half, top right half, bottom right half, top half, bottom half, and for a sequence from Ron at Xtremesequence I put in 8 sets of six strings from left to right).  Took a little bit to get in all the sub-models

Nutcracker Models / Mega Tree

Hello, I have a question about the Mega tree wiring.  I am building a 180 degree, 48 string x 100 pixel mega tree. I have everything set up in Xlights, with sub-models, and have sequences.  Everything looks good on computer.  The question I have is, when I actually get down to wiring the tree, I started the tree on bottom-left in Xlights, So my first input goes to bottom-left, can I just put all the inputs for the remaining strings, counter-clockwise, at the bottom of the tree? Or, do I have to put Input 2 at the top, 3 bottom, etc.?  I'd like to have all at the bottom, if possible, to make wiring easier.  Thanks in advance!!

I had the same problem today.  I just deleted the name and then added it the way I wanted it.  Its not convenient if you have a lot of nodes in there, but, it works

I am trying to find the file for the 34" snowflake from Living Light Show.  Having a hard time finding it for some reason.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
