Bug change Pan/Tilt

[Martin!]

Hello,
sometime i would like to change the Pan/Tilt-Channel at the Gig. In Daslight 4 you can go to the Patch Menu, and hit one of the 3 checkboxes (Invert Pan-X; Invert Pan-Y; Change Pan/Tilt) behind the device. But for me it doesn't work. Unfortunately Daslight4 overright all steps in the scene so that i have in every stepp 255 or 0, so that I distroy all my Scense.I must load the last save point to get it work again. In older Daslight Versions this funktions workes allways nice.

Is this a bug in Daslight or the SSL file?

Greetings
Martin

Hey Martin,

Are you using the latest version of Daslight 4 ? I cannot seem to be able to reproduce the problem with the latest verison.
Have you tried with an old show and with a new show (empty with just your moving heads patched) ?

Hi!

Same issue here.

On several PC´s with Win7pro /10 pro and the latest Daslight Version.

Steps in my project:
- Open Daslight
- Load project with moving lights e.g. in edit mode (in my case its 16bit pan/tilt)
- irrelevant, if scenes are active or not, but for now "deactivate any active scene"
- Assuming there are different groups for movement and color/brightness
- change to patch-tab
- Check pan and/or tilt on one or more moving lights
- go to edit-tab
- look at the bottom knobs of pan and tilt which are now showing a "?" (if not all moving lights have been modified) or "on" with value "0" even in the brightness group
- this overwrites all pan/tilt actions in every scene and group.
- unfortunately very bad


Steps in mint procject:

- Open Daslight
- go to patch tab
- patch moving light e.g. "moving light" in generic
- go to edit tab
- edit pan and tilt to a value different from zero (e.g. pan= 15 and tilt=20)
- go to patch tab
- check "invert pan"
- check "invert tilt"
- go to edit tab
- look at the bottom and realize that the previous values (15/20) have been set to "0".

Unfortuantely your server is not capable of the file-size of 3 screenshots or my project, so you have to deal with my description.

Thanks for the attention to this problem,

Kind regards

Hi TomHat,

You´re welcome
It´s sad, that here often is this "there´s a bug" or "can we have this feature, please" - report/mentality...
So for now, and I mean it seriously:
I´m very happy with this software and the direct contact to the support team.
Sometimes there´s the need for a workaround, but hey, I´m having a highly complex show, and it works just fine
And if things get fixed, it´s cool!

Have a nice evening

Kind regards
Julius

Hello,

unfortunately this problem are not fixed in the newest Beta (22.5)
The problem is still the same.
If you invert or change the PAN-Tilt Channels, Daslight 4 will do this. But all created beforehand values are set to "0".
So all the movement szenes are broken.

I hope you will release the announced solution soon.

Hey Martin,

Are you sure you're reproducing the same bug ? I have tried again with the latest version and couldn't get the bug to reappear. If you still can reproduce the bug could you let me know exactly how ?

Hello,
here are the Steps witch will reproduce the Bug. Admittedly, it is a bit different as Julius Drescher tells you. He used static Values ( 1 scene with 1 step), but i would like to change dynamic scenes (1 scene with 100 ore more steps)

- open a new Daslight Projekt (Version May 24 2018)
- go to patch tab
- patch moving light e.g. "moving light" in generic
- go to edit tab
- creat a scene with an pan/tilt effect, in my case a circle
- go to live tab and see if its work
- check "change pan/tilt" in patch tab
- go to live and see if its work

In my case 2 of 3 tries are failed. The Scene are destroyed because all Steps are the same. Sometimes it themes to work but if you play with the three options (change pan/tilt, invert pan, invert tilt) the Scenes will be destroyed.

Hope you understand what I mean. If you need more Infromation please ask.

Hello,

Perfect, thanks a lot for taking time to explain how to reproduce the problem. Now the bug is fixed and ready for next release.

Hello,

unfortunately this problem are not completed fixed in the newest Beta (02.08)

The options invert Pan(-x-) and invert Tilt (-y-) are worked fine. Daslight shows the programmes Values but sent the invertet DMX-Values. So if the Value are original 0, Daslight shows 0 and sends 255. Thats nice.

But the option change Pan/Tilt diden't work. Daslight shows now the invertet Values but didn't send this inverted Values to the devices. So if the Pan Value 0 and the Tilt Value 255 Daslight shows Pan 255 and Tilt 0 but sends Pan 0 and Tilt 255 to the devices.
For scenes with one step it's work sometimes.

I hope you will finde a solution soon.
