Chases won't work in Cues but work in Chase Editor

Post by dicky96 »

Guys - I broke it and I can't figure out what I have done!!

I created a show so I could learn how to use submasters and cues - and had it all working OK

So I then decided to tidy things up as I had lots of files lying around and want to start building a real show - so I made some subfolders in the cues and chases folders and tidies up/renamed my cues

I also copied all the sequences I want to use to some subfolders and renamed those too.

example chases/show1/lamps, chases/show1/colours

Oh and I added a couple of new fixtures and edited some of the chases.

The problem I have now is wierd.

I can run my renamed sequences from the new subfolders in the sequence editor and they work fine on my lights.

I can add the sequences to the cues list and they also work fine from there as expected.

But once I try to run a submaster, the cue adds to the cues list and looks like it is working (I can see it counting through the steps) but the lights do not react and I can see in the DMX output window no values are changing any more :o

After this has happened any chase I add manually to the cue list will not work either (it just looks like it is counting through the steps) even if i clear the cues list and start again.

However if I shut down the cues list and run the chases in the sequence editor they still work Ok

The only way out of this is to shut Freestyler down and re-open it, in which case things will work again until I try to run a submaster and it breaks once more

I tried clearing all the submasters and then recreating the cues, overwrting the ones n my subfolders and reloading thenm into submasters but this does not help

Another odd thing - after running a submaster the mouse navigation in the 'Insert Sequence' window does not work properly - it often jumps to a different sequence than the one i want, scrolling the window scroll bar and reselecting seems to fix that - sometimes the sequence starts in the sequence editor even though i didn't click that.

What have I done wrong and how do I fix it????

Is this something to do with me renaming files and creting subfolders in windows rather than from within freestyler?

Otherwise looks like I have to scrap the location and start again as I can't figure out what went wrong :oops:

OK I don't know why but I rebooted my PC and the problem fixed itself.

Wierd.
