bug importing new fixture in an existing project ?

Post by Razhell »

Hallo, I've a project with some fixture and scenes, all is ok, now I add a fixture in the room and patch it in DS4

I create a new group and new sceenes for the new fixture ( simple rgb parled)

In live mode I can control the new par led with the new scenes and turn it on ecc, but when I click on a scene created before adding the new fixture, the new fiture is swithced always off, all settings for the release are correct ( release: group)

I think that is done because when I've created the initial scenes the new added fixture was not present, so the software switch it off ( the scene is still playing but DMX value are send to 0 zero)

The only way to correct this I've found is to create from the beginning all the scenes created before I've added the new fixture.

But I think is tedious to do this when I've a very huge amount of scenes...

Any solution ??
thx a lot !!

Hi Razhell,

What version of Daslight are you using ?
Is it possible for you to post the show file ?

I tried but I cannot reproduce this issue.

Edit.
Whatever the problem is, try this if it happens again : select the new fixture tab only, edit your initial scenes and change all the faders to mode OFF for the new fixture. So, you don't need to re-create your initial scenes.

A DMX channel OFF means "no data sent, stay as is", a DMX channel ON with a zero value means "turn this channel off".

Hope this helps.
