Thanks... Dave

Dave,

Just like your other topic ( Fixture File for ADJ DJ SCAN DELUXE 250 )
This is not what we expect from the forum users.
As stated in the forum rules, in the top of your screen in red, you must make the fixture file yourself.
Then if you get stuck somehow you post your question here, telling us what it is that won't work out.
Also you post the fixture file here for as far as you have made it, together with the manual or at least the DMX protocol description.
Then you'll might get some help from other users.

Just asking for ready made fixture files is useless and above all: its lazy. If someone made them already, you would find them delivered with FreeStyler or in the User created downloads section of this forum.

So; you start by making the 2 fixture files yourself, then if you dont succeed, post the exported file(s) in one of your topics. If you do succeed, then post the fixture files in the User created downloads section of this forum, so other users can benefit from that.

I have no idea how to make fixture files that is why I asked...

Nobody knows at the beginning. I do now, as do many other users. Me and those other users are not going to create the fixture file for you. Even not when you supply the DMX channel description. You really need to do it yourself.

On youtube are several tutorials:

Or search there for "fixture creator".

In short a few steps:
1. Basic knowledge of the DMX protocol is required. You have that, otherwise you would not be able to use FreeStyler or any fixture and controller. If you don't have some basic knowledge of how the DMX protocol is working, stop here and find another hobby or learn it now.
2. Find the DMX channel description of your fixture, its in the manual most of the time.
3. Start the fixture creator and create your type of fixture.
4. Fill in the required fields and stuff you want.
5. Save.
6. Start FreeStyler and try it out.

These steps should take you about 1 hour for the first time. If you want to set exaclty the right gobo's and colors, it could take something longer because you might have to make a few images for that.

You can look at other fixtures to get an idea of how you should create your own fixture.
For example open an existing Martin moving head (or any other fixture) in the fixture creator, find the DMX channel description with google and have a look how its done.
Or look at my very first own created fixture file: Robe ClubSpot 150CT Mode 1/2/3/4 (Moving head) (just get the "Robe ClubSpot 150CT M1.pff" is enough...)

I do know baasic DMX but I dont have any manual for the vertipro. I guess I can find it online.. I dont have a DMX interface for freestyler yet but when I do I will start to build this...

You can build the fixture file even without DMX interface. Only you won't be able to test it live until you have an DMX interface. But, you'll still need the manual or DMX channel description though. Try google or lookup the site of the manufacturer.
Just start creating it. That way you'll get used to how it all works, and the moment you get the interface, will be the moment of the truth, did or did you not made the fixture okay?
For now you seem very lazy to me, thinking that some user here is going to search the DMX channel description and create the fixture file for you.
That's just not gonna happen, show some more commitment. Try it out. See how far you get. That is gonna help you for now, and in the future when you need to create other fixture files.
You know what? Just create the fixture file, upload it here, together with the DMX channel description and we'll check if you did good. (Although we maybe don't have the fixture, we can still see if you created the fixture file correctly using the DMX channel description).

Having said this and all of the above;
In real short terms: Please try it out yourself, we are not going to do your work.

Lazy... Not me... But I figured someone might have create this already saving me time.. BUT I can create it myself.. I do this in light jockey when I cant find the info....

May I siuggest then being a bit more descriptive in your posts i.e. "does anyone have xxx fixture because i carnt find a manual online and woindered if someone has it allready.. "

So whats the problem then?
Appearantly you can get your hands on the DMX channel description (or tested it trial on error), otherwise you won't be able to create the fixture in light jockey. Next to that, you did'nt post that DMX information you seem to have at all. Nicely done.
If you can create a fixture in light jockey, then creating a fixture in the fixture creator for FreeStyler should be no problem at all.

I'm stunned and have absolutely no idea what your problem is.
Or maybe I do: there's no problem at all. You just wait for the fixture file to come along all by itself.

I created one but I can't get the verti-pro to turn off, so it is useless. All I can get it to do is stand still, sound activate or manual activate. I cannot find the manual for this thing at all. There's only 2 channels so I played with just about every setting I could, but nothing would get the light to turn off. Anyone have any ideas?
