Sharing Sequence Suggestions

Agreed, I'm not seeing the iseq's either. I'd love to see how you incorporated your LOR stuff. Thanks again!

I incorporate Brians pixel tree and globe as a data layer. What specific would you like to see? Maybe we can help.

I was mostly hoping for some inspiration about how he's using his candy-cane spinners and the coro faces.

remember that iseq files have hard coded channel numbers.

if your LOR sequence had minitrees from channels 50 to 60
and it had arches from channels 1-30 then i would need to have those two sets of channels in my show.
You can offset the iseq as a group, so i could move the entire iseq file and have this
arches channels 11-40
minitrees 60-70

If you share a xml sequence file, then the channels dont matter. You match up models.
you would do things like
"Your minitrees from 50 to 60 will go to my minitrees channel 300-500"
"Your arches from 1-30 will go to my arches 600-660"

In other words, much easier and more flexible to share the xml sequence files from xLights instead of iseq files.
If you did hours of sequencing in LOR and are using the iseq overlays, then just understand the limits.

My bad - I put the iseq in my root dropbox folder, not the one for XL.  I just fixed that.  I am not sure what benefit that would do, but if you want any LOR files, let me know which ones and I can share the .lms ones.
The spinner is just a list of 12 channels, just like the 10 north  poles. Lots of chases are used.

I agree, Sean. I wasn't really looking to copy his LOR effects, though, I just wanted to see how the entire show looks, for inspiration. Thanks rando1957 for sharing!

Randy, that worked fine.  I downloaded them and will look at them as soon as I get a little free time.  For others info I just create a folder called Randy 2015 within my main xlights data folder and then I can just switch my setup to point to that folder and open them one at a time and look at the preview.  You do have to add the music to the folder or you can fake it by telling the sequence to use any song in the folder so you can at least see the effects even if they don't match to the music.  Then if you like what you see go and spend $1.29 or whatever to buy the song.  Just my 2 cents.

Randy are you going to the mini on the 12th?

Is the XML all you need or do you need the RGB effects too?

XML file and rgbeffects file are needed to see the display. Copy both in the same folder (different than your own).

Added TSO 'Boughs of Holly' and Mannheim Steamroller "Stille Nacht'.  Enjoy

Thanks Randy.  Now that I have the map defined I can import your xml in minutes to match my display and I already own both of those songs.

Now if you just had a halloween sequence or two.  LOL  I have my window and gutter lights up, but have not powered anything up yet while I work on finalizing two PIs in multisync mode.

[rando1957]

Your welcome Jim.  I have my gutter and window frame lights up and running.  I did a 4-minute animation sequence and put various effects with the Fall colors. Run it for few days just to get neighborhood excited for upcoming Christmas season.

Am I doing something wrong? Forgive me as I am a noob and still learning. I finally figured out how to get other sequences to display i.e.: Stars Wars Funk works. but when I tried rondo's I can't get the Model Preview to display the sequence, its just a black screen. I have the go fish Joy to the world track but Im not sure what Im missing here. I also can't view any of the sequences in the layout tab either, only the intro and final comment are listed, and I not able to add other files to the "show" tabs. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

[jnealand]

Are you making a separate folder for the downloaded sequence and then switching to it.  In that folder you need to have the donors rgbeffects file.  You can use the donors network file or make your own network file as it will not make any difference to you just viewing the sequence.  There is nothing in the download that will work in the layout tab.  You must open the xml in the sequencer tab and then save it to get the fseq that is used in the layout tab.

[gerry]

I think (from other posts) that it could be that the donor setup has a perspective which has two monitors and the layout etc is on the second monitor.

In which case , edit the donor rgbeffects xml file and delete the perspectives section and save
