Mega tree 90 degrees off

[t.jo13t]

I finally have everything hooked up and was testing mega tree, all effects are off 90 degrees. I have tried everything I can think of with no luck
Specs:
100 nodes starting at bottom left folded at the top. 16 string tree with 50 nodes per string. For a total of 800 nodes
Using fpp in bridge mode through fpd to f16 v1 starting at channel 1

I have 2 of these and both are doing the same thing. I am bringing in each display item and putting different effects on them with output to lights button pushed. It has got to be some thing simple but I cannot figure it out as the brain is too tired. So close but yet so far lol. I am only about 2 weeks behind but they do light

Well there's a few different ways to fix this.  first off, I'm guessing you are talking about a 360 degree tree.  xlights expects that you start with strand one at the back of the tree.  You could rearrange how you've plugged things in to your controller so that the rear strand is in the first port of channels you've defined.  Another option is in the model definition for your mega tree (in xlights), you can click on Individual Start Chans and move the start channels to match so that the effects start at the expected strand 1 even if that is not your strand 1 in your physical setup.

well I should have explained a little more. For example if I put a spiral on the tree it goes from top to bottom not left to right. ( or any effect for that matter). I have deleted the tree several times and when I make the model again it does the same thing. The trees are most basic in the design. 50 nodes up folded 50 nodes down.

If you set up your controller with the 'folding' or 'zig zag' and also set up XL the same way, you will get that odd outcome. I know - I did it.  I left XL alone and removed the zig zag (folding) on the controller setup and it worked great. Did not have to re-render any songs.  Funny thing - I ran it like that for 2 weeks before I noticed that text was going all over the place.  Now it looks just like the way XL previews it.
