Trouble getting effects to work in sequence
« on: December 01, 2017, 10:45:42 PM »
Hi All,

I have been using this sequence kindly donated to the community by logandc99.
I have mapped and adjusted most things nicely, but just realised that all the on effects and shockwave effects around the 2min 8sec mark are not working for some reason. They don't show up in the preview or on the real light output.
The rest of the song these effects seem to work its just in this area. It's really got me baffled.
Ignore the missing pictures as they work, and I only just realised after I packaged it that I hadn't moved them to the show folder to clean it up.
Mainly seems to be a candy canes and flakes that suffer this problem.

Hoping it's just me being a novice to xlights, and it's really obvious to someone else.
Also hoping I've attached all the right files to solve it.

Regards,
Rowan

Your problem is that all those effects that are not working have the Layer Blending set to "Effect 2".  Change them to "Effect 1" or "Normal" depending on how you want it to blend.

I've noticed that a lot of my "older" xLights sequences have Effect 2 selected. They were created in the much older versions where you only had two effect levels.
