Is there a correct way to load a packaged sequence other than import?

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / FPP testing models
« on: October 02, 2024, 11:16:40 PM »
I had and issue about 9 months ago where fseq file wasn't diplaying certain model properly the sequence looked fine in xlights but in FPP it was totally different this would happen with imported sequences at the time I was able to fix this problem by packaging the sequence then start a new sequence and import the package sequence.I'm having the same problem again but the work around istn't working I noticed now it no longer creates a zip file but a xsqz file. any ideas on how to fix this problem. I have a showstopper spinner that uses state effects to create animated objects but thay come out all garbaled up in FPP in my show. also what is weird is I package the sequence in in 2024.16 64bit and when I import it I get a warning the import is a newer version than the one I'm using.

Yes thanks Dan for the link, I was looking into scripting to do some automated cleaning of my show directory.
I do a lot of importing and would like to make dependencies more native to show directory with out a lot of extra baggage that you some times get with packaged sequences

what I'm trying to accomplish is apply an effect to just the out line of a simging face so I created a submodel of just the outline but now I don't know how to use it.

Figured out how to get rid of these errors
go into controllers tab and seleect discover and it finds my FPP device
then set auto size to off
then set Active to xlights only
after setting auto size to off you can change the channels to the total number of channels defined in layout and it sucks in all the model names

Also how do you fix things like
WARN: Faces effect image file 'E:\2022\Christmas\Faces\BlueBulbHat_AI_EC.png' is 29.7 times the height or width of the model ... xLights is going to need to do lots of work to resize the image. Model 'Tree', Start 0:00.400
Also is it possible to turn off
Models spanning controllers
ERR: Model 'A' is not configured for a controller.
