Here are a few of mine with megatree and 3 tier star.
All are the full length TSO songs except for A Star to Follow.

Really like the Wave effect in Nutrocker for the Mtree, step 30 at 72.015 seconds. (though I played with the colors a bit)

Code: [Select]

Wave,None,Effect 1,ID_CHECKBOX_LayerMorph=0,ID_SLIDER_SparkleFrequency=200,ID_SLIDER_Brightness=100,ID_SLIDER_Contrast=0,ID_SLIDER_EffectLayerMix=0,E1_SLIDER_Speed=11,E1_TEXTCTRL_Fadein=0.00,E1_TEXTCTRL_Fadeout=0.00,E1_CHECKBOX_FitToTime=0,E1_CHECKBOX_OverlayBkg=0,E1_CHOICE_Wave_Type=Sine,E1_CHOICE_Fill_Colors=Palette,E1_CHECKBOX_Mirror_Wave=0,E1_SLIDER_Number_Waves=180,E1_SLIDER_Thickness_Percentage=36,E1_SLIDER_Wave_Height=79,E1_CHOICE_Wave_Direction=Left to Right,E1_BUTTON_Palette1=#FF0000,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette1=0,E1_BUTTON_Palette2=#00FF00,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette2=1,E1_BUTTON_Palette3=#0000FF,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette3=1,E1_BUTTON_Palette4=#FFFF00,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette4=1,E1_BUTTON_Palette5=#FFFFFF,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette5=0,E1_BUTTON_Palette6=#000000,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette6=0,E2_SLIDER_Speed=18,E2_TEXTCTRL_Fadein=0.00,E2_TEXTCTRL_Fadeout=0.00,E2_CHECKBOX_FitToTime=1,E2_CHECKBOX_OverlayBkg=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette1=#FF0000,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette1=1,E2_BUTTON_Palette2=#00FF00,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette2=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette3=#0000FF,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette3=1,E2_BUTTON_Palette4=#FFFF00,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette4=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette5=#FFFFFF,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette5=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette6=#000000,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette6=0

Just wanted to say thanks.  The Nutrocker one is spot on and a big help for me.  One question though:

What's the difference between Star_RGB and Star_Matrix?   I figured out the other star configurations, but those two confused me a bit.

[jnealand]

Before the star model got changed a number of us used a multimodel approach for multi tier stars with one for programming and one for the preview.

[dkulp]

Yea... and even with the new Star model, having the different approaches provides some cool effects.   I didn't really realize that until I saw his Nutrocker file.   He has individual models for the three tiers which provides some interesting effects that would just apply to that level.   He also has the Star_RGB and Star_Matrix model which I'm not sure what the difference is.   I mapped the Star_RGB to my full 3-tier model.   Just trying to figure out what the Star_Matrix would be. 

The cool one in the Nutrocker is the model that takes the outer tier and instead of mapping it to a Star, maps it to a SingleStrand which makes the effects go around the star.   I never would have thought to do that.   Very nice.

Definitely one of the reasons why I like seeing peoples shared sequences.   I get all kind of new ideas and such that I'd never have thought of.

it would be nice when people share their xml sequences they also include their xlights_rgbeffects.xml file and the xlights_networks.xml file. This way you can create a new folder put all files there , and just point your xlights to that as the show folder. Now when you launch you will see their exact setuo. You can browse their models, you can also see exactly what their show looks like in the preview. All preview settings are also stored in the xlights_rgbeffects.xml file.

the only thing missing is a sound file. I just pick any song, i use carold of the bells.mp3.

so my process to be able see peoples sequence exactly like they do

1) Request sequence files and the xlights_xxx.xml files
2) Create a new folder put their files there.
3) Add one sound file, i use carol of the bells.mp3
4) Go into xlights set show folder to be new folder i just created
5) Use the 3rd file open optin, create a new sequence from a sound file. NOTE: Click that you have an xml file.
6) It picks my carol of the bells.mp3 and prompts for an xml file
7) Click save. This now creates teh xseq file that was missing.
Go to preview and open xseq and rpess play. If the person had been using preview you will see their entire show.

9) Copy just their sequence xml file over to my show folder
10) change xlights to point to my show folder. You can also launch a second xlights, each can be pointing at different show folders.
11) In my xlights repeat steps 5) to 7) above. Now you are probably prompted for
"Ther eis a model xxxx in their sequence file, what model in your show do you want to use. It is much easier to decide this when you can see what their original models looked like.

BTW, this is an awesome feature of xlights (Which i did not make) that allows people to get a sequence moved over and allow you to see their show in the preview. Thanks to matt,dave,dan,don,frank for all contributing to the xlights framework.

I cant tell how useful it is to be able to troubleshoot when i can duplicate a persons environment.

so send your xlights_rgbeffects.xml and xlights_networks.xml

Here are five sequences that I will be using this year in my show.  Here are the links to the music.  Also, taking Sean's advice and sharing my xlights xml setup files.

Ill play.  Just a mega tree and star.  Thanks for your help on xlights/nutcracker

Hi guys:

Let me begin by saying Thanks to all of you this great tool and for sharing your sequences.. it helps a lot!

I'm a newbie here and  I ended up using Twooly's version of Wizard in Winter , but the effects were a bit of for my specific sound file, so I tweaked the effect timings, colors and speeds and added a few more effects, etc....  Now I'm giving it back to the community so others can benefit from it as well

Note:  Twooly's version had a star as well.. I only used the Megatree piece of it.
