2 Important BUG in D5 5.0.2.1 !

Post by Raptor82 »

Hi!

I noticed 2 major bug on the latest version of Daslight 5 (5.0.2.1).

Bug 1: There is a problem in the software with all machines having a CMY color wheel. Indeed, even if the machine is not On, the DMX values of the CMY are still emitted, once the machine is ON, the DMX levels of the CMY must be updated, otherwise they are considered to be at 0%.

With this bug, I have to update all my colors for a project created in version 5.0.2 because with machines that use CMY, color changes don't work correctly . This problem isn't present on RGB machines.

Bug 2: The software fails to manage 16-bit for multi-function DMX channels. For Pan, Tilt, Dimmer, Zoom, etc. in 16 bits, this is not a problem. The problem occurs for all multi-function DMX channels with a 16-bit channel, for example with GOBO Rotation, Prism Rotation, Iris, etc...
For example, for a GOBO rotation with clockwise, anti-clockwise, bounce, or other rotation, this becomes problematic. When you save your light state in a "Step" scene, everything works correctly, however, by restarting your software, all the light states with 16-bit channels for the multi-function DMX channels are changed and no longer correspond to what had been checked in.This problem was not present in Daslight 4.

Please fix this for future versions of Daslight 5.

Hello

Bug 1: There is a problem in the software with all machines having a CMY color wheel. Indeed, even if the machine is not On, the DMX values of the CMY are still emitted, once the machine is ON, the DMX levels of the CMY must be updated, otherwise they are considered to be at 0%.


By default in D5, all light are set to OFF, so for CMY fixture those channel are set to 255 in order to have no beam open.

For the Bug 2, I cannot reproduce the problem. Can you send me the project file to [email protected] ?

Thanks

Hello

I just sent you the project, you should be able to reproduce the bug by performing the same manipulation as on the demonstration video: https://youtu.be/x0gVQCE9d8s

Regarding CMY fixtures, you are certainly right and it may be a misunderstanding on my part.
On the other hand, I can't help noticing inconsistencies at this level, especially for the values in the "FADER" tab where the highest values are at 0 and the lowest at 255, moreover by making a back and forth on the tab, the values reposition themselves so that the lowest value is 0 and the highest is 255, which bothers me a lot and doesn't seem normal to me....

I don't remember that it worked like this on the previous version, and unfortunately, this does not explain why my project created in version 5.0.2 doesn't correctly change the colors of my CMY fixtures in version 5.0.2.1.. ..
