Same thing when adding a line in the builder. I tried this a number of times a number of different ways and had the same basic result every time. I did notice an issue with the fixture builder when using it yesterday - when adding and deleting new dmx entries it did not always add or delete from the appropriate line as selected in the fixture builder - it was deleting entries from 3 lines below where I -thought- I had it selected. There wasn't anything sensible to call some of the parameters for that fixture in the fixture builder and the control options did not necessarily make the most sense for it either. will appreciate this idea (maybe) after building the Speedwire profile for me. I would also like the ability to add user definable entries in the fixture builder - something I can change what it called. I would like the fixture builder to work better, but what I would really like is access to the engine used by Steve to make fixtures. The builder gets very unhappy with other windows open. I have had to build a few fixtures in the past with the fixture builder and yes closing all the other windows is a HUGE deal.
#Update fixture library in lxfree Patch#
You have to have the patch window open to enter the fixture builder - ALL windows cannot be closed. maybe you are really unlucky.but nearly everybody, who talled me about crashes, using the fixture builder, didn´t know, that before starting the fixture builder ALL WINDOWS should be closed. If I was doing this in vista and it was crapping out, I would be expecting problems, but I am using XP. I even tried having the channel slots in different order (top to bottom or bottom to top), Makes no difference. Seams like a no brainer, but the builder craps out or refused to allow the information to be saved. Then with this information, attempting to build the fixture. So I have made the charts by having the fixture patched as 24 desk channels and running each one through the entire 0-255 range and documenting it all.

The manual for it is of no help other than channel 1 is pan and so on. (not my deal) I was asked to make it work. The fixture that I am creating this for came from China.

So if the values are wrong, they are wrong in the software because that is where I am getting them.Īnd FYI. I am using Hog 3 to look at the values as I make the build. If I have more than 1 or 2 slots in a single channel, it doesn't like the values and will not save.
If I have slot 1 is dmx 15 and real % 5 It sometimes likes it and sometimes not. As long as I use the 0-255 values, it likes it. When adding additional DMX values to same channel as in slots for Gobos or any other multi parameter channel information, it puts up an error message and will not save the information to the library file. I am sure it can handle what little ole Hog 3 software can dish out.
#Update fixture library in lxfree Pc#
My PC runs LD Assistant with visualization and has the ram and processing to run without locking up or crashing. I have experienced crashes and no other programs were running other than Hog 3. You will get the best results with the fixture builder if you use it in Hog3PC on a laptop and then transfer your show to a console. If not Someone please don't let this be like the X-spot and many other pieces of equipment that are left half finished only to fade away with a slow death.

If there is someone with insite on how to make this area of the console work, let me know. While trying to use it, many times it causes the console to lose the desktop and it has to either be restarted or complete reboot of Hog 3. Is it suppose to be some sort of trade secret on how to write a profile correctly so it works?Įvery time I have called to get help with this feature of the console I am met with the same general answer. If it doesn't work take it off the console entirely. My thoughts are if it has it, make it work. Rather than have to make phone calls after hours for tech support while trying to write a profile on the console or having to send in the channel/dmx value information to some library creator guru why not make the fixture builder actually work or if it does, how about some clear cut info on how to properly use it? With that said I am at a loss for reasons behind having to have someone else do something we are quite capable of doing ourselves given the proper tools and knowledge. I don't get out here on the forums very often at all so this may have been covered already.Īfter consulting with techs at HES, it seems to be necessary to send an email in to have a fixture library created for a moving light.Īs we as designers/programmers do our craft, most of us have a burning desire for more knowledge within the industry and try and stay up to date with the technology we work with.
