Easiest way to save EVERYTHING

Post by b00t »

Im testing FS out on my home machine but once I have all the bugs worked out I want to save all my configurations (both hardware controllers, midi inputs etc) and all the fixtures and scenes I have. Is there a backup tool in FS to do this or would I just copy the contents of the FS folder and paste it in my new machine after the installation? I rather not have to re map my midi buttons and configs etc if I dont have to.

Yes there are.
i allways make a Backup file Loacated at "File"
a Backup file includes:
-Chases/sequences (..\Freestyler\Chases folder)
-Cues (..\Freestyler\Cues folder)
-Location files (..\Freestyler\Location folder)
-Fixture files (with matching image, goboes and colours) for fixtures added to the current location (which is in the ..\Freestyler\Fixtures folder
-freestyler.ini file
-Keyboard keys
-everything from touch2 is saved.

Only Midi needs a Seperate Save file. you can find that if you go to the Midi options.
if you look at the Right top from that window you see "Options" and then on "Export" it will be saved as a .FMS

Also look at the Freestyler wiki you can also find this on there. http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/
