LOR to Xlights/Vixen
« on: July 08, 2020, 01:21:54 PM »
Hi all,

I am looking to convert from Light-O-Rama S5 to Vixen.  I am using Xlights to convert my sequences.  So far I have gotten most of one sequence converted by using the import effects function in xlights and then dragging and dropping my channels over.  Everything worked fine except for my three leaping Arches.  It didn't give me any error messages it simply did not put any of my effects on those 24 channels (8 channels per arch).

Any ideas?

Unless you can share some files with us there is not much we can do to help.

Would be better if you used tools package sequence to share the sequence as this grabs all the files we need.

Also what exactly is the prop name and which effects are you concerned about.

So I had a bit of a poke around and this version https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxeaucdl2k11ec8/xLights64_2020_27.exe?dl=0 may work for you. I am a little concerned it will break multi-colour model imports but as I dont seem to have any test versions of that I am going to have to wait for someone to scream about that.

Ok, I will attach the new file to this post.  Also, I have already updated to that version hoping it would fix my problem but nothing changed.

The version posted above is more current than the current release version. I am only interested in the result from that version.

It worked!  The only problem was the twinkle effects working in a different way than the twinkle effects in Light-O-Rama, but those can be easily adjusted.  Thank you so much for the help.
