house image for preview

[jnealand]

I used notepad++ and deleted the background image line.  Then I cropped the photo I sent to Sean into a new image file that was smaller and I have now been able to get the image to show up.

Nice!!

.....and I just spent the last 2 hours getting my RGB channels figured out. I think I'm there now. Everything that is supposed to be red and green and blue are now actually red and green and blue.

As they say on the Simpsons....everything is coming up Milhouse!!

That image appears to be too big.
I've resized it for you to 1200x900.

Try this one without all that extra sky and road.
The size is 1252x495 and I put that in the file name.

thanks for the resize,

for some odd reason that one worked great on my laptop!
not so well on the Desktop, both same Win 7 setup, the desktop is just my show only machine, runs the Christmas light show only.

side note I am still having the same issue using "BARS" to keep a DMX channel at full through a whole sequence on X lites. the effects running under whole house model are overriding the " Always on " effect I create in a second column. any ideas?

[drlucas]

that might be by design. I'd go back into your preview mode, and don't have that one item as part of your display, create a new whole model and then try it and see if that fixes things. backup your xml file before doing this though just in case...

"the lights that you want to be always on, go into model edit and turn off the "Part of my Display".
Next , make a WHM. Now those channels are not included in the WHM.
Now effects put on the WHM will not touch the channels that you want your bars effect on.

i think i am only restating what has already been said.

Remember, when you press save we start with the leftmost column and render all those channels. then we go to the next column. The last column , therefore, has precedence over previous columns.if the same channels show up, last one rendered wins.

[drlucas]

You just said it better. I didn't realize the order of precedence though - I don't think I ever have a conflict but will remember that logic for the future

Sean you are a wizzard!

The one small thing  "Part of my Display" That was hanging me up on the whole house model, and was over riding the Constant "ON" that I wanted.
