xLights Convert / Re: Dying to convert from LOR - S5

A big thank you to all of you for your comments!  Please, please, please don't take what I said as a criticism at all.  I think you guys are fantastic and I think the product you created is fantastic.  If there was a frustrated tone to my post, it is all centered around LOR and not this community.  I have expressed my frustrations with the folks at LOR and they don't care at all. 

I think the answer to my problem is like Gilrock said in his post.  Just rip the band aid off, throw away the LOR stuff, and move to Xlights.

With that being said, I am still more than happy to help out if you want it.  I would be happy to share all the stuff you suggested if it will help you. 

Thanks again,
Tim

xLights Convert / Dying to convert from LOR - S5

« on: August 30, 2019, 12:42:12 AM »

For the past 4 seasons, I have been dying to convert over from LOR to XLights!

To set the stage here, I have been doing a Christmas light show for the past 12 years.  All this time I have been using Light-O-Rama software.  The show has morphed over the years using each and every version of their software until I ended up where I am today, which is using their latest and greatest S5 software suite.  I have really grown to HATE Light-O-Rama and their software.  They are sooo far behind the curve it is infuriating.  This frustration has been growing year after year. 

Each year (about this time), I find myself downloading the latest version of XLights with the thoughts of flipping the switch and converting all my shows to XLights. 

Now let me say...I freakin' love XLights.  I've been toying around with it for 4 years now, but, i've never once been successful at converting my LOR sequences. 

I just signed up on this forum for the purpose of posting this.  I want to convert, but, it just doesn't work.  My shows are completely messed up when I do.  I see you guys developing this software on an almost daily basis.  My question is why isn't more time spent getting the LOR conversion process to work? 

I love what everyone is doing here, I love the software, and I hope to one day be a power user and finally ditch LOR. 

Thanks for listening!
