When Aurora gets support for proper RGB we will provide better tools for handling the luminance channel.

Can't wait to see the new version with DMX on it Michael, it's going to be amazing. For now, I'm just going to hold the Luminance on full throughout the whole sequence. Dewey, great to see you join the thread, I'll be trying to tonight, and I'll let you know what I find. -Matt

Allllright,
Finally got to it after work today.
FOR DEWEYS HACK
When I bring the sequence in, under the Collumns where you should see the networks, and controllers, it shows a "-". then when I go to "Load all" I am recieving this Error:
"Unhandled Exception has occured in your application. If you Click Continue..... (Explainig Quit will close program, continue will ignore, and continue.)
The Connection cannot be used to preform this opperation. It is either closed or invalid in this context."
Under The Details it says:

Hope you can help :)

One more thing I thought I might add is that when I try to use the DMX Hack, it will pop up a window for a split second, then go away, and nothing happens. I would assume this would work once the error mentioned above is found out.

Oops sorry - didn't see this come in.
Are you just wanting to do the DMX Hack? If so, no need to go through anything on the Config by Template tab: * Select the DMX Hack tab. * Click Browse and navigate to your sequences directory. * Check the box next to a sequence you'd like to convert to DMX. * Settings: - Change network __ to DMX Network __ <-- this changes the network to another value, for Aurora DMX, the TO value should be 32. - Event spacing <-- this is the value for the DMX update frequency. I've always left this at 50. It affects how the values are calculated, ie, if you have a fade out ramp, it will recalculate the values every 50 ms. * Click Process. A new file should be generated named DMXHack_[originalfilename.dls]. It won't overwrite your original file, but now's a good time to make sure you have a backup on another computer anyway. :) |

Allright, so after a little trial and error, I seem to have possibly found a winning combination.
For some reason, the DMX Hack did not work on Windows 7. It would bring up the screen after you hit process for a split second, and then dissapear. So, I put the file, and the hack on a flash drive, and put it on an old laptop that had xp on it. That seemed to work. After taking all night to process, I tried it, and Nothing. Then after another frustrating day of trial and error, I got the lights to behave real well without the hack. Then, last night I exported it, and I saw it right before I left for work, and it Processed. Excited to get home, and see if it worked! -Matt

Yes please. Send me a problem sequence - deweycooter at gmail. I'll assume I can follow the steps I outlined in order to reproduce the error - let me know what values you used for networks and timing.
It shouldn't take real long to process. I don't remember how long to expect, but I didn't think it was more than a few minutes. If you've ever done a W2E event, that's what a ramp will look like once it's been ran thru DMX Hack - a timing mark at the beginning and end, and distinct shades in the span of the event representing the different intensity values. I don't think I've used Win7 with it yet. Looks like I need to get some stuff ironed out yet... Edited by deweycooter - 13 Oct 2011 at 10:10pm |

One more Note. I found on Windows 7, you have to "Run as Administrator", then the screen will stay up. I'm having problems now where it will stick on a certain event, and not process it. I'll send you it now. thanks again!
