xLights 4 effect similar to Vixen "Alternating"

[Gilrock]

He wants it where he puts red on one group and green on another and if they hit the same channel it comes out yellow.  That's not how I usually want it work.  If you're happy with how Vixen does it then why are you here?

Right Gil, my whole thing in life is to make yellow.

There are great things in Vixen and XL. I am using both. I responded to a thread, that's why I'm here. I think Angus has rubbed off on you.

And I thought explaining how you want the colors to blend was fairly clear so Dan would know how you expected it to blend.

For the second comment all I got to say is....Ditto.

Gil, it's not how I want it...it's how it is... red and green make yellow. I think that was taught in kindergarten. 

I'm not making stuff up. If xl can't blend, so be it. But you are taking it personally. Not sure why, it's Christmas lights software.

No I just thought we already talked about it at length in another thread so I don't want to go over it again and again just because you don't like how we wrote the program.  We provide you a way to do what you want using layers.  And I'll take whatever I want personal.  I spent 100's of hours on this and even more answering all your questions.  You sent me more private questions when you started using xLights than anyone.  I invested a lot of time helping you personally.  So when it looks like you are praising Vixen and whining about xLights acros the forums I'm not going to want to help you much.  Just go use Vixen if you don't like what we offer.  We don't make any money off of you and I'd rather spend time helping someone dedicated to xLights.

Just wanted to apologize to everyone for getting worked up about this yesterday.  I'm way too competitive in everything even when it comes to comparing what each sequencer can do.  The idea James has isn't bad.  I wanted to be able to have blending modes between models so it might show up sometime in the future.  Sometimes I have 10 different things happening like I'm writing new code, troubleshooting compile or functional errors, then folks on facebook are having issues, as well as responding to question on several forums so its easy to get overwhelmed sometimes.

Often what you don't see is after an exchange like this the two parties actually work things out behind the scenes.  That's happened in this case also and nobody else knows about this but Angus and I actually talked behind the scenes on DIYC and worked out our differences there.

In the end we all usually have the same goals.  I'll try to follow Sean's lead....I think he does a great job of staying level headed no matter what's being talked about.
