Only strobing lights

Post by ManhattanProject »

Hi there,

In 3D Easy View all my lights can only work when strobing, i've searched though the internet, but i can't find the solution.

I've already tried:
- Putting DMX output to Virtual (Freestyler preferences)
- Updated Freestyler
- Updated 3d Easy view (exactly like in viewtopic.php?f=56&t=4977)

All of this isn't helping and I'm pretty sure I performed the steps correctly...

Can you help me to get the solution? :P

Not being funny but you can't have installed the BETA correctly, because I don't understand why it doesn't work if you've got the latest BETA installed. Just make sure that it's the latest BETA and that any .zip folders are extracted in the freestyler folder, as I've found a .zip folder can be stopping it.

If it's still not working then I would recomend that you backup your files, delete it all (including freestyler), start from scractch. If it still doesn't work then get some you trust that has freestyler installed, with 3D view to double check your files.

Apart from that, I wouldn't have a clue apart from asking on the Nicolaudie Forums to see if they can help.

Let us know how you get on

I've installed everything again from scratch and still only strobes, where can I find the ZIP files you're talking about?

When you've downloaded the BETA version you should get two folders like this:
Image
You need to go into the SLMEV Beta folder and extract any .zip folders content into the freestyler folder (which you should see in that picture). Then extract the folder in the SLMEV Beta folder.

You should get something like this:
Image
So the bottom one is up-zipped, so it's now the top red. But you also need to get the content within that top red folder and place it in the freestyler folder, the Content and files, not the folder!!!!!

So in the freestyler folder in should be something like this:
Image
So you've noticed that the highlighted files are in the freestyler folder, but not in the folder itself like in the BETA folder. (they've been extracted, not unzipped.)


Other than that you should be good to go.
Give us a shout if you get stuck again or confused :P

Thank you very much, it helped!

I did it slightly different,

1. Install Freestyler
2. Install 3d beta in the same folder
3. Extract zip file and copy in Freestyler folder

Again thanks!
