Error: Address already taken 5ch mode Pro-Lights-LumiPAR18QPRO.qxf

Hello, I add this fixture in my project but I found: "ERROR: address already taken (Don't know how it display in english version as I have an Italian Version)" when I double click on my fixture. The issue appear when I add more than one of this fixture in 5ch mode. How to solve it? All the address are corrects...! Thank you

1. You should have posted in the Issues forum, this one is for new fixture definitions (I suppose Massimo will move it to the proper place, so leave it as it is until then)
2. Post your QLC+ version, operating system and attah your qxw file. Then we can have a look what the problem is.

Yes, wrong forum. Moved.

By the way, if QLC+ says the address is already taken, then the mistake is most likely yours.
Make sure you are not trying to add fixtures in the wrong universe

I second this. There's weird stuff going on here.

It appears the spacing for the fixtures needs to be 10 even in 5 channel mode (there is a 10 channel mode available). This condition is easily repeatable.

Can you check latest git? Most probably I've fixed this in my latest commit. The address overlap wasn't recomputed when mode changed.

Found a fix: The modes are defined as this: 10 CH, 5 CH then 4 Ch mode.

Reordering to 4, 5 and then 10 channels fixes the issue so it appears the modes must be listed in increasing order?

That corresponds to my finding. The workaround you propose should work. In the next version (4.8.3) it should be fixed.
