yes this is possible to do all at once, by utilizing the Lua keyword, and a small loop traversing thru all the macrolines.
Display Spoiler
Lua "for _, mline in ipairs(ObjectList('Macro 1 Thru 30.*')) do mline.Command=mline.Command..' /NoOops' end"
As always, thank you very much for your assistance!

Is there LUA that can written to append the lines of many macros?
I have 30 or so macros, each with 20 lines. I want to add /NoOops to the end of every line. Is there a better way than going line by line, macro by macro?
Thanks!!
-
It was my own fault. I had deleted the preset macros from the layout, and was trying to use them directly from the macro pool. Assuming that the LUA was somehow referencing the layout?

Can you double check what exactly fails to work on a console next time?
Will do. Was in the middle of a show and forgot to snap a pic of what it was saying.

In response to robgarcia's request, I've added a "favourites" functionality to the color picker. On the left side of the layout you'll now see 16 slots to store CP favourite color configurations. To save a favourite configuration, select all the colors you want, tap the "Store favourite CP1 state" macro, tap one of the favourites and you're done.
I've noticed on my GrandMA3 Full-Size console, the store favorite macro fails to work. Was in a rush and didn't get a chance to write down the error. Yet, it works fine on the same show file on OnPC. -Rob

Try making 4 position presets with the following information:
- Preset 1: Only tilt information with a lower tilt value (down)
- Preset 2: Only tilt information with a higher tilt value (up)
- Preset 3: Only pan information with a lower pan value (left)
- Preset 4: Only pan information with a higher pan value (right)
After you create the presets to define the space, you will want to Integrate Presets 1 and 4 into step one, then Presets 2 and 3 into step 2.
Then, apply the following settings:
- In MAtricks:
- Phase 0 To 360
- Transform: Mirror
- XWings: 2
- In the Phaser Editor:
And that should get you a symmetrical circle within the defined area.

I deleted all the symbols and re-copied them manually from the plugin download to the symbols folder and now it's working.
-Rob
-
I think I've found the problem. If you've never imported symbols into the show after installing / updating the software, you need to prepare access to the symbols library before importing the symbols themselves. It's like patching fixtures - you need to initialise the fixture library once after installation.
This is now fixed.
Sorry, still not working for me. Tried with an existing show file and a brand new one. -Rob

Should work now, please download again...
Just tried it... Unfortunately, the same result.
-
Can you try again? I've just made some small changes.
Same result. Here are the showfiles:

You probably didn't import symbols into your show file, but in 1.9.7 this is no longer necessary.
I've uploaded the latest version to the original post.
I've downloaded the most recent file you've linked. Started a blank showfile in v1.9.7.0, patched 12 vipers in three groups of 4. Run the plugin and get the same result. The phase appearances are missing...
Attached is what I see in my symbols pool.
-
When I install this, even in a blank showfile, my Phase buttons are missing from the layout. The actual macros are there, but something is broken between the appearances and symbols.
-Rob

Meant to take a screen shot, but ran out of time.
I guess after you choose the preset type etc. the plugin attempts to create a temp view where you then “collect” the presets.
I just get a blank window with no preset pool, an error in the command line and the plugin terminates.
Will be back in front of it on Monday.

Plugin fails for me when trying to create and store the view to collect pool items...

Good morning.
Just wanted to let you know that the plugin works vey well. Was able to test it, then use it at a show over the weekend with no issues!

Looking forward to testing this out. One thing I think most, if not all, color picker plugins lack (not saying yours does because I haven't tested it yet) is the ability to store combinations of "picked" colors for easy recall. If I have a grid of 10 groups on my picker, and I make a selection of colors, I'd like to be able to hit a button and have that store to a macro or somewhere for quick, one button recall.
The only time I recall seeing this functionality was in Jason Giaffo's plugin:

Sorry about not being clear.
The tips from in this thread have helped a lot.
Thanks!

Thank you Andreas and Ryan Kanarek
That does indeed work and make sense.
Where I start to have issues is on larger selections like this:
I had to go to each multi-instance fixture on the grid and re-do them on the Z-axis
-Rob
-
I have a fixture with 5 instances plus the main fixture.
Is there an easy way to make selection on the grid and have them stack on the z axis?
Right now, if I select fixture (301.) I get my selection along the X-axis
As far as I can tell, the only way to stack these is to do:
grid 0/0/0 thru 0/0/6 please, fixture (301.)
Easy enough on a few fixtures, but takes FOREVER with large selections of lights.
Maybe I'm missing an easier way.
Thanks,
Rob

Correct. Encoder invert, not DMX.
When I spin my tilt encoder clockwise, all my lights except for my Mac Auras would tilt down stage toward front of house. I added the tilt encoder invert to the auras, now they play nice with everything else.
When I open the calculator, and enter a direct value under natural readout, say “45” all my spots point upstage. My 2 electrics of R2X washes point downstage and my 2 electrics of auras point upstage.
Trying to figure out how to make it so when I open the calculator, hit “45” all the lights go 45 downstage towards front of house.
