Order 821 made on 8-27-17
« on: August 29, 2017, 11:05:47 AM »
couple of things here.

1. how come I can't download these again. 2 of the 3  links expired the same day I placed the order the other one is out until may of 2020.

2. "Lights of Christmas"  has .png files that are in the pictures effects and were not included. Would be nice to have those.

Thanks for you help

Brad

I had to manually edit the links for the pictures by clicking on each one and pasting the new file folder path on each picture, changing it to the locations I stored the .sup files.
I saw somewhere someone had an easier way, but could not find it when I needed it.
Worked after I did that.

Hey Sean,

I have sent you and Lilia multi messages and emails and no response, I know you will see this.

I normally end up search / replace  the file paths directly in the XML file with notepad++. yes its not exactly what I would want but it works. maybe one day there will be a quicker and easier way to do this, or maybe I missed something and it is easy already.

If you keep you images etc in your show folder or a sub directory of it xlights will fix up paths for you.

So if I purchase a sequence from Lilia or Ron does that mean I have to put that sequence into my show directory? I store them in the purchased sequences folder (which is a set of sub folders below my home folder) and import effects from them. the paths are not fixed using this method.

If you watch my video on importing purchased sequences I explain what you need to do so xlights will fix them automagically.

Hi Keith,

Its nice to hear you (si) in the video. We do that a lot out here. The issue I am having with the sequence I purchased from Lilia "light of Christmas" is there are no .png files in what she sent. when I go thru the process and I cheek the sequence it tells me " ERR: Picture effect cant find image file 'C:\Users\Lilia Meighan\Documents\xlights_data\xmas2015\Light_Of_Christmas\LOC_s322.png'. Model 'TREE2', Start 2:21.400" 96 of them. And I can't re down load just too make sure I did not screw it up. Sean comment about I should be able to down load again has not been solved. I am having no luck in contacting either Sean or Lilia, I hope they are both ok, I have been dealing with my own health issues so my brain is a little foggy.

Thanks for all of your videos.

Brad

Yes you are right , there are no image files included with this sequence. However the mega tree is not included and it says in the readme for this that the Megatree sequence is available from holiday sequences



Additional file: This sequence was created around the animation superstar sequence Holidaysequences sells. There are two versions
12 CCR tree, $35: http://www.holidaysequences.com/12-Ribbon-CCR-Light-of-Christmas-p/12ccr-loc.htm
16 CCR tree, $47: http://www.holidaysequences.com/16-Ribbon-Owl-City-Light-of-Christmas-p/16ccr-loc.htm
These superstar sequences need to be purchases seperately and imported in using the "Import, Import Effects" feature of xLights.

I am pretty sure you need to buy the holiday sequences superstar files to get the images for the trees.
