importing ccr effects into xlights

[amtrak115]

I'm trying to import a 24 x 50 horizontal ccr matrix into xlights.  When I import the "sup" data, the matrix renders however it's 90 degrees off.  I've seen a conversation about this in other messages but I never found a resolution to this issues.  I think somebody was going to publish a script or something.  Can anyone point me in the right direction or is a node-by-node import from the lms file the only way to do this?

thanks

Can you post a screenshot of the settings you use on the Superstar import dialog? This is the popup with x size, y size, offset, flip y, etc.

If all you care about is playing the lor stuff within xlights, then I would not import the sup file, but instead add as a data layer.

i imported a number of sup files to my 16x50 megatree, they all worked perfectly.

as mentioned show a screen shot of the "Import, Import Sequences" screen.

Importing superstar files in ccr mode is straight forward and works, however, files in visualization mode is hit or miss.  To know what you have, open superstar, tools, layout. At the top are radio buttons, if it says visualization mode, then good luck.

here's the import dialog box....

My suggestion is swap x and y and try again. I'm curious as to what mode the Superstar file is.

I thought I had tried that before so I did it again...no same results.  The imports looks like it works fine except that everything is on it's side.  It looks like it's 90 degrees off counter-clockwise.

Superstar files are generally small in size. If willing, you could post the file and we could have a go with it.

sorry, this is a bought sequence, and I wouldn't feel right about posting it.

I'm going to look at issue #537 today which sounds like the same thing as this.  After seeing the dialog again and refreshing my brain I realized it only Swaps the Y axis so it won't do a rotate.

No problem. Looks like Gil is going to set you up.

This is going to take a code change to fix but I blame it on the bonehead LOR developers.  They are listing the X and Y values as if the ribbons are vertical.  I can tell because in this morph definition the Y value is greater than the height of the  horizontal matrix.

Code: [Select]

<morph name="Morph 161" layer="11" acceleration="0" savedIndex="160">

<state1 time="6285" x1="8" y1="0" x2="8" y2="0" red="100" green="0" blue="0" white="0" trailLen="1"/>

<state2 time="6395" x1="8" y1="49" x2="8" y2="49" red="0" green="0" blue="100" white="0" trailLen="1"/>

<ramp timeExt="5" effectType="0" red1="100" green1="0" blue1="0" white1="0" red2="100" green2="100" blue2="0" white2="0"/>

</morph>

I'll have to try to look at a couple more .SUP files but I should be able to inspect the "ribbonOrientation" attribute and do the X / Y swap automatically if its horizontal.

Brian had admitted that it was stupid. Instead of fixing it, he added keywords that would force a row/column, make matrix, reverse order, etc.
