Fixtures not appearing in 3D view or Editor

Post by tomrbland »

Interesting one there.

I loaded this show and the fixtures are no longer there. My other shows still work but this one no longer works.

Any ideas?

The show is here: http://www.tombland.org.uk/sweetlight/Pictures.zip

The personality files you are using are missing in your ".../LightShows/.../fixtures" directory

Although looking at setup it has forgotten what "model" my fixtures are! Strange! All the fixtures are there but no model now. Any ideas as to why it would do this?

All i can say at my level is that the model files mentioned in your .../LightShows/Pictures/fixtures.ini ("Q Spot", "COLORado 1", ...) are not present in the .../LightShows/Pictures/fixtures directory and that's the reason why the fixtures does not appear in Editor, 3DView, ...
Maybe support can tell more ?

They were working before I loaded a different show. But previously it has been working even when I have loaded other shows.

May be you have deleted the personality files using menu "File -> Delete", after you have declared them in the "dmx addressing" list (?)

Setup presently does not display any warning message when doing that. We note this in the TODO list.

Please could you tell me which ini file has the data for "model" in Setup? I have not deleted anything I'm sure and I can't see any files missing in my ...\lightshows\...\fixtures\ They are all still there as they were. When it was working. I simply closed the program (everything working) loaded a different show for a while then re-loaded this one and it doesn't work any more.

If you could please tell me which ini file to edit I would be very appreciative as there is no "add a certain number of this fixture" it takes a while to re-add all the fixtures as I want them separate fixtures rather than clones which is very fast to do.

The file which contains the dmx addressing infos is "fixtures.ini".
The personality files are stored in folder "fixtures" ; they are TXT format.

I'm not sure why I suddenly lost all of the fixtures but I have now fixed it manually. If it happens again I'll let you know.

Cheers
