Editing a cue in OFFline mode

[tendril]

Hi

How do I change the values in the cue editor when it is in OFFline mode? If i click on the number in the box, I cannot change it except to add an integer to the end if it is less then 3 figures.

example:

I open a cue in offline mode:


I select a value to change (here it is value64 on channel2):


I want to change value from 64 to 65, so press 65 on keypad. This is result:



Great Program that I am just getting to grips with

Bit of pc brainlock there

How in the world does the offline cue mode work anyways? Is it used to create sequences when one is currently running? If yes, how does a person have any clue about what values to type in and where?

Hi,

Some years ago, I asked Raph for an offline sequence editor.
Reason for this is that once you started your FS light show, there was no possibility to make corrections in (other)sequences anymore. Sometimes I needed this to correct pan/tilt values when I used my fixtures on another location.
Or just to correct some programming mistakes while the show was already running.

The offline editor was not meant to create new sequences. As you mentioned, this is too difficult because without a fixture manual, you don't know what the DMX values stand for. Regarding the DMX channels you could define them by looking at the output window...

It would be nice to be able to create new sequences using the normal procedure while a show is running.
But then the FS windows will have a double function: for creating the new sequence and for override settings in the running show. How can you make the difference then?
