Forum rules
This forum is designed for you to get HELP with building fixtures, Please make an attempt if you get stuck YOU must upload your partial fixture file (as an exported fixture file) so we can point you in the right direction if you don't do this you won't LEARN and if you don't learn you will may never be able to get the fixtures you require. It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....
or alternativaly if your willing to pay for fixtures to be created then go here : http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... on_service


You can Upload your fixtures as attachments to your posts so there is no need to supply email details Please post any fixtures in the download forum if you require help please contact an Admin/Moderator.

Fixture / gobo / colors / file image locations

Post by RedTCat »

In the Fixture Creator wiki, it states:
  • Fixture images are to be in size 60 x 60 and are located in “c:\FreeStyler\Fixtures\
  • Color icons are to be in format 30 x 30 and are located in “c:\FreeStyler\Colors\”
  • Gobo icons are to be in format 30 x 30 and are located in “c:\FreeStyler\Gobos\”
OK, so that's where there are files of images - but if I add my original images to *those* folders they do not show up in the lists of images / colours / gobos to use.

If you add them while Freestyler is running you must refresh the image list.

thanks Rod, but that isn't the answer - I deliberately named my personal files so I would easily find and recognise then - none of them display in the fixture editor or in Freestyler when editing on the live system

Please upload one of each. I would like to see if I have the same problem. I have done exactly what you are trying to do and have not had any problems (as long as I remember to refresh the image list which I seem prone to forget)

After thought - what format are you using? I am not sure if Freestyler supports all of the different image formats.

just noticed the Wiki does say "BMP or GIF" - frustrating - GIF images reproduce so badly on my image edit software … seriously not even JPG? :-|

I usually use BMP - GIFs do not do well for me either
