I'd like to BEG the developers of xLights to consider making an AC spiral mega tree a preset. In Vixen 2.1 there's a person who developed a plug in for the preview that did a great job for this task.
In the preview screen to create a spiral mega tree you entered the following:
1. Number of lines to base
2. Number of lines in group
3. Number of Channels per line group
4. Number of rotations
With these inputs, the preview drew an AC spiral mega tree in a matter of seconds and it was perfect every time.
I'm not a developer (I'm just a DAU) so I'm not sure the effort involved in developing this functionality. I'm happy to show any of the developers exactly what I'm talking about.
I will always have a number of AC elements in my display and a spiral mega tree is one of the features I don't plan to eliminate any time soon. I know there's plenty of other folks in the same boat as me. I've seen many ways to make an AC spiral mega tree work, but frankly the methods I've seen make this task way too difficult for the average user like me. I also understand xLights is aimed more at pixels but there's plenty of AC functionality as well.
Again, I'm begging for developer help to make this functionality a reality.
A BIG thank you to the developers for all you do to make xLights the great software it is; we really appreciate your time and effort!
Thank you for your consideration.
