problem with cue order in sequence

bonjour,

It's with dlight 2.2 macosX version

If I start recording cues from step 1, order in secuence is ok, but when I add new cues then the first cue I record is putted not on new step but one before the last one.

like this:

I have recorded 2 cues, so have this secuence:

s0 q0
s1 q1
s2 q2

now I'm working in scene mode on step2, make some changes and type '3q', so cue 3 is recorded.
But then the secuence looks like this:

s0 q0
s1 q1
s2 q3
s3 q2

and now the console is on step2, scene mode.
If now I continue recording (4, 5, ..) the new cues always put after last cue number, but it doesn't match anymore with step number, because q2 always moves to new step:

s0 q0
s1 q1
s2 q3
s3 q4
s4 q5
s5 q2

If I work on preset mode it hapens the same.

If I go to secuence window to arrange it, have to change also times and names, and when I come back to continue recording cues It happens the same, the first recorded is putted before the last.

so some help svp... www.nicole-banana.com/components/com_kun.../emoticons/blink.png

and a small bug: dlight closes when making a crossfade (with nanok faders) if there's not a next step.

anyway santé pour dlight!

yo,
first, i can't reproduce the behaviour you describe.....

now I'm working in scene mode on step2, make some changes and type '3q', so cue 3 is recorded.
But then the secuence looks like this:
s0 q0
s1 q1
s2 q3
s3 q2

"R" is the default shortcut to record cues, did you change this to "q" ?
because "q" is the existing shortcut for "cue" (is this shortcut usefull????)

maybe something is wrong when you modify shortcuts.....

do you observe the same behaviour with a fresh show without modifying the shortcuts?

saludos

sorry, I made mistake writing the message.

I type '3r' ( I changed shortcut 'R' to 'r').

Now I try it with with a fresh show without modifying the shortcuts, with a brand new re-installed dlight.

I record cues 1 and 2:

s1 q1
s2 q2

I save the show and quit dlight. Then re-open dlight, open the last show, and when recording cue 3, oh-oh, happens the same:

s1 q1
s2 q3
s3 q2

Then I record cues 4 and 5:

s1 q1
s2 q3
s3 q4
s4 q5
s5 q2

…
salut

bizarre....

i downloaded the 2.2 from the web site
i start DL (wich start after fucking long delay - will have to fix this)

i do:
*create new show
*"R" -> create cue 1, sequence is like
s0 q0
s1 q1

*"R" -> create cue 2
s0 q0
s1 q1
s2 q2

*"3R" ->create cue 3
s0 q0
s1 q1
s2 q2
s3 q3

don't you see this behaviour ?????????

now, if you save this show, quit DL, open DL, open the show, and make '4R'... is here when cue 4 will be putted to step 3 and cue 3 to step 4 (or it happens to me, at last...)

i used "Save" to save the show
quit DL
open DL
load the show
type "4R" and cue 4 is loaded after cue 3.....
so we have a problem if the behaviour is different on mine and your computer...

can you try to remove the DL executable you have before installing a new one and try again?

does anybody else see a wrong behaviour when recording cues?

++

merci four your time, I will try downloading new DL and starting all from begining...

i'm absolutely confused.....

I found it !

That happens when there are no more empty steps in secuence.

For creating a new show, I use to open an old one and erase all FXs, groups and steps. By this way I keep shortcuts and background color, and each new cue I record DL loads on a new step. But then when re-opening the show and adding new cues, it keeps always the last step on last position and adds the new ones before that.

I see that when making a new show, there are 20 empty steps at the begining and DL automaticaly adds an empty one each time a new cue is recorded. In this case, there's no problem with cue order.

You can try it recording for example two cues in a new show, deleting then steps 3-20, saving it, closing and re-opening it and then trying to add new cues.

Hope it helps...

salut

bien joué, i would never find it by myself !!!

Hello

Yes I have the same problem.
When I record a new Cue, it is automatically inserted at a wrong step in the sequence.
I have to remove this step, go to the right place, and then insert a new step and affect the new Cue.

Salut
J'ai le même probleme.
Quand je crée un nouveau Cue à un endroit donné dans ma conduite, DL l'insère automatiquement ailleurs (hier c'était sur mon Step 12 systématiquent).
Il fallait que je remonte à cet endroit (Step 12) pour l'effacer, puis revenir là où j'en étais, inserer mon step et y affecter mon Cue.

Macbook C2d, OSX 10.5.8, DL2.2, Enttec USBDMX PRO.

as-tu essayé avec la 2.3 ?

Non mais maintenant que je sais que les deux versions peuvent cohabiter, je m'en vais tester de ce pas.
En attendant j'avais désactivé dans le setup l'option "Auto load CUE in sequence".

Merci

Testé sur la 2.3 : Le problème persiste mais il est probablement dû à ma conduite. J'en ai fait une autre vite fait sans arriver à reproduire le phénomène.

J'incrimine ma conduite car j'avais un autre bug : l'export ASCII qui plantait et en examinant les fichiers j'ai trouvé un FX en cause. Après suppresssion de cet FX, l'export fonctionne à nouveau.
Il faut dire qu'en tâtonnant lors de ma première conduite, j'avais occasionné des plantages.

En revanche, en testant j'ai trouvé deux petites choses, je les poste dans le bon topic (2.3)
