Sequence Update Issues
« on: November 26, 2018, 07:59:35 PM »
Hello all, I am getting a late start this year as I was unsure if I was going to have a display at all due to family issues etc.  But I have managed to get the lights going and even add some to this year. 

The issue I am running into is I have updated to the most recent version of xlights on my mac (2018.46 on OSX Mojave) and I have copied over my xlights_ files and all of my sequences.  But when I open the fseq all of my models now have a number next to them in brackets (i.e [2]) and when I re-render the files sometimes nothing shows as far as lighting goes in the models.

Am I doing something wrong or did I miss how to do something properly in the new updates? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am down to the wire and would like to kick things off this weekend.

If I can provide any more information I will be happy to do so just let me know what may be needed.

Thank you in advance!

The number in brackets is a new feature not a problem.  Don't open the FSEQ file open the XML file for the sequence.  If its not rendering correctly it could be 100 different reasons.

Gil,

Thanks for the clarification on the numbers.  I really need to watch the most recent videos.  I did managed to try a different sequence opening the XML and was able to get that one working just fine so maybe something happened to the ones I was working on (or more likely i broke them trying to "fix" them).  I will copy them back over from a backup and go from there.

Thanks
