Title: Need to speed up my Arches!
Post by: rdebolt on December 18, 2013,
Is there any way to get an arch chase to go faster? I have tried "Single strand" and "Spirals". Any help would be appreciated!

I am assuming you have moved the speed slider in the effect area all the way up to 20?

I am assuming xlights only recognizes up to 20 since that is all available in nutcracker and you can't type a number... however if you wanted to try you could go into the xml file and change the 20 to a higher number and see if it would work...


example:  E1_SLIDER_Speed=20

change speed to say 30? or 50? or something and see if it works?



Again I don't think it will but I don't know.... Maybe Sean or Matt will be able to tell you for sure.


**Note** obviously you would have to do this for every arch every time you wanted it to be faster, so I would say only test a few before having to edit the entire xml file.....

If it does work you can do a CTR+F for the specific chase (because slider is part of all effects) and then replace them all

What hardware are you using to run your arches?

Are you only using Nutcracker for your sequencer?

What about putting another timing mark right below with the time you want it to finish, and then is there an option to fit in?

If you're using Vixen 2.1 I may be able to generate something with the exact timing specs you need.

Using LSP and NC combined. I cannot get the look that I want from LSP so far either. It will do it it is just taking me forever to get exactly what i want.

Hmmmmm...  I could convert to xseq and then you can convert to whatever you need after that.

Describe what you want.  What colors do you want?  How "wide" do you want the colors to be?  Clockwise/counter clockwise?  How long do you want it to take for a color to get from one side to the other?  How long do you need the effect to last?  How many arches do you have?  How many nodes per arch?
