Hi, Andreas. This looks like a great resource. Having trouble getting it to work, however.
I'm trying to create a simple loop. If one variable is less than another, go back to macro 1.x.x. Can you advise why this macro (attached) isn't working with your lua? I think once I understand how it works once I'll understand how it works in other uses!
Thanks.

Is this still available? The website says it's been deleted.

i just tried to answer your question on ma-share. should help you.

This is a pretty standard error message after downloading programs not recognized by apple. In order to fix this and install the program, after you see this error, go to system preferences->security and privacy and you should the request to install at the bottom.

well, if that wasn't the nicest thing I've heard in a while.
glad you found your solution!

Are you using the same computer? If yes, you need to use the 127.0.0.1 loopback. This will need to be set on both MA3D (file->settings->network) as well as onPC (setup->MA network control).
If you are using two different computers, these IP addresses need to be different. That is, if your onPC IP is at 169.254.117.129, your MA3D session CANNOT be at 169.254.117.129 and, depending on the subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0), will need to have the same three numbers and a different last number like 169.254.117.128.
Also, as this forum is meant for MA3, try posting MA2 questions on facebook groups or in the ma-share.net forum!

when you open a new file, the views to the right that are in the place of the MA2 'viewbuttons,' are referenced from pool view items and are applied to all screens.
to create your own views for different screens, just delete these views and create your own.

variables from user input are not implemented yet. there is a way around it with lua, which has been documented in this forum multiple times within the last week.

you have to patch the items like a normal fixture. this should help

hey all,
general forum question here. is there a way to disable notifications for the dot2 forum, or the dot2 in german forum? I love having the notifications for unread threads in the forum, but would like to remove all but the grandma3 forum. any way to do this?
I know you can change notification settings from profile but again, would like to specify by forum.

Thaaaaaaaaanks Ryaaaaaaan
Much appreciated.

hey all,
since there is no way (yet) to change border colors of fixtures in layout views, i'm assigning appearances to them (the appearances being unfilled squares) to mimic a border.
but, the image doesn't appear unless the fixture is given a dimmer value above 0.
is there a way to get appearances assigned to fixtures in layout views by default, or by 0 value? seems really odd to put this linear curve on appearances assigned to objects in a layout view. i'm sure it could make some cool things down the road but not sure why the other option isn't available.
thanks!

Is there a list of default variables like in MA2
e.g.
$selectedexec (this is selectedseq now, right?)
$buttonpage
etc.
are these listed separately from globalvar / uservar ?
-
This was helpful!
I think changing the name on export might have been the issue. Also attempting to export the fixture from the patch in MA3 rather than fixture types.
Thanks!

I don't believe it's implemented yet. You'll need external LTC.
-
I couldn't get any .xml images imported successfully recently either (latest v). I had to use the actual .pngs (which luckily I had) in order to import.
but I'm no expert here.
-
can you update preset /nc or /m?
-
right. should have thought of that.
i've already created a patch in my template file and rather than start from scratch with this export/import method, i'm trying now to import specific fixture types from my show.
after opening the show in MA3, i've tried every method of exporting that i can find (user/gdtf, internal/usb/ma3) and when i try to import that fixture i get no results.
is there a way to import patch from MA2 into an *existing* patch on MA3?
-
I'm trying to import a custom fixture personality for a JDC-1 into my MA3 file and having issues. I've dumped the .xml files into my grandma3, shared, lib_fixture_types folder. I then go into my patch in ma3, and can see the fixture profiles when I select the correct drive and navigate to grandMA2. but all the profiles appear without name, and importing fails. or rather, it imports an empty fixture type in the patch (which I can see when I try to add a fixture from fixturetypes in the current show) but with no fixture along with it.
any hints here?
-
Of course.
just difficult to figure out which things to identify as possible bugs, which to identify as change in workflow and which to identify as just not there *yet*. i'm sure as I continue it'll become easier to decipher which are my fault and which are not.
looking forward to bugging you about a lot more things as I get further in, though
