Have control, but no beams

[MLavoliteforum]

Also I might have logged in one way in my warehouse/office avolite computer & also different account on my I-phone.
Sorry again. .... I will try to only post from the office ..... Unless it's an onsite emergency!
Thanks,

You should be able to log in as either user on any machine. Just logout and then sign back in under the other user.

ok I now will stick to this account only. thanks.

regarding my lights issue.

I will try out your values, and check.

will update shortly,

thanks,

Hi,

Does having preset palette tables written into the .r20 file have any consequences in the visualizer performance?
even if I don't have them set up or use in my console programming ....or maybe not even a option within this particular fixture.....I think it came along with the " Chau__et fixture " I copied the original code from
eg. like this below.

Hi Nic,
Ureka ! You did it ! Thanks for the guide !

Basically, my main issue was I was not saving the changes correctly. & basically knowing what I had to do but actually did not know how to save the changes correctly without overwriting with the old settings !

All good now thanks !

Hi,

what is the best and safest way to delete old shows?

Alfie

[niclights]

Glad you got it solved. Just delete them.

Hi Nic,

I seem to have another issue with the visualizer, hope you can help me solve.

The beam works but the beam is opposite to real life.
at 0 the iris is full open but the visualizer shows it as a straight line of light.
& at 191 when the iris is full min. the visualizer is showing as full 'closed' but did max open at the midway mark between 0 & 191.

is there something I could tweak in the .r20 code to fix the inverted issue?

Here is the dimmer & iris text for the same issue .Vis &.r20 files.

Just swap the 0 and 1 around in the vis file.

Hi Nic,

How do I get the visualizer to do a seamless loop of the gobo rotation.
Right now it does 1 complete spin then stops & then spins

I'm trying all combinations within the .vis file

just cant get it to go seamless loop !

here is what I got ......

Try removing

Mapping 190 191 Number One

from Gobo 1 Rotate Value

and insert

Mapping 190 191 0 0

into Gobo 1 Rotate Speed

Looks like it was the 20 -5 mapping that should have been -5 20.

Hi.
I am having this same problem with a personality for the Martin Quantum Profile.
Exported the .vis and .r20 files from the personality in the library, and tried editing the iris values in the .vis files, but no luck.

Could anyone be of assistance..?
