I earlier reported a problem with a fixture responding to a DMX value 1 lower than expected. Now my ColorDashBatten(STAGE1) is not repsonding to commands at all. There is something weird going on here. I've moved my interface to another computer running 5.21 and they respond just fine. However, I'av already created ALOT of programming on 6.0 and shutter at the prospect of having to redo it all on 5.21. I am uploading my show to this post.

We checked your show.
In 3DView, the fixtures follow scenes from Editor and Live.
We do not have your fixtures, but the dmx outputs seems to follow the scenes to.
Please check you have installed the recent bug fix for version 6.00.

Where is the most RECENT fix? I have already dowloaded http://download.thelightingcontroller.c ... 0/bug_fix/ to take care of the import fixtures problem. Is there another fix ? I currently have this installed and my color batten is not responding correctly using 6.0 on DMX channels. However, 5.2.1 works correctly.

Your software folder (executable dir) does not contains the light show. As you said, it just contains the executable files, and we are supposed to have the same. Anyway, you can send it, but it would certainely not help.

This is weird. Ver 5.2.1 works fine on the same computer. Ver 6 does not activate the fixture properly I test the same cable and fixture with 5.2 1 and all works correctly on 2 seperate computers.

I finally got all the fixtures responding correctly. I had to create a new show, re-add my fixtures and recrete my scenes. However, I still have the issue where all the fixtures respond to a DMX channel 1 lower than what is specified in Showexpress. i.e.- Batten is set for DMW 61 but the physical device is configured for 60. Any clues on this one ?
