Luddite to take the plunge to v3.x

Post by floydian_slip »

Hi all,

Some while ago I set up a lot of lighting for my band using FS v2.95f. I have a lot of scenes, chases and cues set up using about 35 fixtures.

Having reformed after a couple of years out, we have dusted off my old PC but it is getting a bit old and creaky (a bit like me!) so I really want to transfer to a new computer. Good time to move to the latest FS code tree as well I think.

However, the thought of having to start from scratch is very worrying as there are a few months of work in those files. A search has not shown much up but has anyone got a way to convert?

Also, will the large number of custom fixtures I created with v3.4 work with the latest version?

Thanks for your help

Hello

take a look at this:
http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/location_files

But i recommend if the old pc still works to make a Loacation file and Backup file.
and Open/Restore those file in to the new pc with a newer version of freestyler.

and if that doesn't work, it will be the hard way but let see if this works.

Note: 3.4.0 is a beta version so it have some miner bugs in it.
you can also still download 3.2.0 the latest stable version.
