Same issue .. you will need shadow models if they are all not the same..

Might I suggest hopping on xlightszoom.com .. I think you are going to need a couple shadow models to get this on 2 controllers. (about the only way to use 2 controllers on 1 prop). A bit hard to walk thru on here.
Later evenings at xlightszoom.com

Correct about the serial ports. If you have any problems feel free to drop into xlightszoom.com and the folks there can review what you have.

You would be mixing the old way with the new way .. forget changing stuff there on the properties .. go to the controller tab and drag n drop them in the order you want them placed and chained.

Yes known bug and fixed in the upcoming release. If you want you can grab from the nightly builds or wait for .07 which will likely be released real soon.

Enhancement Requests / Re: controller set up
« on: March 11, 2022, 05:04:35 PM »
If you dont want to make the ports consecutive .. then a couple of shadow models can be used to put them where you want them on the controller. Not exactly something everyone knows how to do .. but not that difficult. Head over the xlightszoom.com and the folks there can walk you thru it.
(You will need to export the matrix and reimport back as a custom model to get the pixel counts the way you want as well)

General hardware / Re: moving xlights

Correct .. and perhaps your background image and/or the 3d obj + materials.
Ideally you take your entire show folder - with sequences, audio etc. Note this assumes you are doing things correctly and keeping all your stuff under the show folder. (ie not in the downloads or desktop for example)

« on: February 28, 2022, 02:14:45 PM »
Sounds like you have enabled "backup on open". Which is a good thing.. but it will try to backup the files each time you start up xlights. If you are okay with losing / renaming that file it should fix it up for you. Go into file explorer and find that file and rename / move / delete it.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: I would like to add "spokes" to my 4 arches and create the model in xlights
« on: February 28, 2022, 10:29:04 AM »
Probably a few ways to do this .. first is it a purchased prop? If so look for an xmodel for that prop.
If not suggest giving this a try...
Right click your arch - export as as a custom model.
Now use Import, to import that custom model back to your layout.
Now on this new prop - you can go to the properties and edit model data.
There you can add the spokes. Keep in mind how you might want to wire this.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Picture Editor - can you really do animations or is that incorrect?
« on: February 26, 2022, 08:51:21 AM »
https://manual.xlights.org/xlights/chapters/chapter-four-sequencer/pixel-editor
I can see you can create individual images .. but I dont see a method to create animations. Am I missing something here?
"to amend a picture or draw your own pictures or animations"

No spaces in the filenames -- that is a new requirement as well.
