The Fixture is not working please replace it with this one thank you.

So the difference is that the channels in the 7-channel mode are in the wrong order (Dimmer at the end and Strobe and Macros swapped over)?

I see there are also many small difference in the function names between the two definitions. Which ones match the manual the closest?

Regards,

The first definition I have made this FIXTURE disappeared.
The one in the program is not working.

please replace the good fixture

Rodolfo, boxy asked you 2 questions. Why don't you answer him instead of keep saying the fixture in the library is not good ?

[pipolino419]

Hello,
Sorry but the definition of the 7 channels in the manual is wrong. The reality is that the first channel is the dimmer as for all modes.
I understand you want to do as well as possible but you really find an easy way for novice users.
I allow myself to add a simplified import FIXTURES would be welcome.

Best regards.

Rodolfo, I have updated the fixture in the library.

In the definition you submitted here, I found that RGB channel descriptions were in French.
Basically you didn't modify the one in the library, but you used an old one you had in your computer.
Do you understand this is a waste of time for me and a little bit more of effort on your side would help ?

I understand you want to do as well as possible but you really find an easy way for novice users.

And what does this all mean ?
If you don't understand where you have to place the fixtures in your Mac, please don't blame QLC+.
It's all documented and most likely you haven't read it.

from me the idea QLC blame the contrary I praise this software.
I'm just saying that we must think of noob.

Thank

noob has to read manual and then it becomes not noob

Seriously I think the problem here is that applications are bundled in a specific way on OSX.
Most of the times there are 2 stages: DMG (which is nothing but a compression method like ZIP but a bit more complex) and the actual App bundle (QLC+.app)

Apple tends to hide everything that a noob should not be aware of, including what's inside an App bundle.
But if you right click on it, there's a "Show contents" menu entry that shows what's inside the bundle.
And you can actually add/remove/copy files like every other places in the hard disk.

So, if I understand correctly, Rodolfo is saying that custom fixtures are difficult to handle on OSX.
In this case it was very easy cause the fixture file name was the same, so all Rodolfo had to do was to overwrite the one in the bundle.
New fixtures instead will not work, since QLC+ works on a XML map.

So the only way is to place new fixtures in the user folder, and THAT's documented here: http://www.qlcplus.org/docs/questionsan ... ser-folder

Now if that documentation is easy to find or not, it's another story.
In general, QLC+ users should stop thinking this is a Candy Crush game. QLC+ is a complex software and before even trying to create a project, you should read at least half of the 162 pages of the manual and watch all my video tutorials.
THEN you can blame QLC+ for something.

Ok asks a beginner to make:

Run application/utility/ terminal
then type:
cp MacMine$/Downloads/MyNewFixture.qxf cd $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/QLC+/Fixtures

Done

[mcallegari]

That's wrong.

I bet it says "cd: file not found"

it should be

Code: Select all

cp $HOME/Downloads/MyNewFixture.qxf $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/QLC+/Fixtures

[pipolino419]

this is a Candy Crush game. QLC+
