RE: XPression Inhibit Sequencer Follow

Direct answer to your question. No there is not a way. - Likely the TD has the Rosstalk command built as a sequence in rather than a take command. They should build it as a take instead of as sequence in. - Sequence combines a take and a focus in the same step. That way it will move your attention in ...

PGN Data/Stats - Chess

Has anyone ever worked with PGN data for live chess? - PGN Mentor I can get the data into XPression by reading their files as just text. And I feel good that I could play around with visual logic and get it to separate each move out into its own text box. But it just seems like the juice is not going ...

RE: Shift Click on XML Import Window

I think it is more so a safe guard against the mass users. Because if you had the same take item in 2 xmls, then the software would not know what to do with the 2nd. - the software can read if a take item is taken from a single xml load, but xml files just carry such little data to them. --------- ...

I would love over your scripts and visual logics. - Make sure that everything is still compiling and doing the things you want it to do. As that big of a jump, things have moved around a little. If still having issues, I would contact support and have them look into what you are seeing. - The other ...

No. - But I would just suggest saving off the items you need into the 1 xml. - When I used to do ESPN shows, I was usually doing 3-5 xml loads per xpression machine to get all the pieces that I needed for a show. ------------------------------ Garrett Hall Overtime Elite Atlanta United States ---- ...

As always. Thank you Roman. - My next step was going to be trying to do a hidden item that is moving around. - But this worked out great. We have transitioned it over to our project, and we are good to go. We are doing basketball. It is a 3 point content. It is head to head. So the object starts ...

Data moves object in multiple scene directors

I have a project that I feel like I am super close on the answer. I have made the problem into a simple project attached below to hopefully lead to some answers. I have a quad in a scene. That quad will come on the scene in the middle, x space 0. Then I have a widget that is a value of 1 to 5 to ...

RE: Ticker resume position when taken back online

Yes is the answer. You would need to build into your scene either a text box or a widget updater. So then as it steps through the games, it updates a widget per se. Then technically each time you take that scene online, it references that widget amount to determine where it should start in the list ...

Carbonite Ultra v9 - Do the upgrade

I am guilty of being a person that does not like to update systems that are functioning. - If you are in a place where you can update to version 9, I would recommend doing so. A feature that was added is something that I have been searching for for ages, naming of Devices. While the first iteration is ...

RE: Xpression - Scalable Shapes to Text

You are going to want to use a visual logic block as well to compare the 2 lines. Get the bounding box width of top line and bottom line, and compare them. That would then go to the example below, where you take the bounding box width and add a value to it. - You do the compare, that way if it ever a ...

What version of XPression are you running, because in a recent release they added the ability to do this. I took a screenshot because I knew in my future this would be important. So then it will always pull the latest drive. - Now I have not played around with this, but should work. But if you are ...

Yes. What was said above. - You go into the text object that is going to update, or just a dummy one. Then there, there is a script item for "OnSetText". And so when the text changes it will do whatever you put into the script. In this case, you can want the text to change. So I would have the text, ...

No is the easy answer. - I mean if you can navigate to the file in a windows explorer window on the production truck, then sure you can link to it. ---- for any solution provided, doing data over wifi could always be tricky. The cleaner step would probably be to instal datalinq on the computer that ...

Hi Used to there was a channel for venue control which had a lot of Dashboard posts in it that does not appear to exist. So now I will just ask this here. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the size of a checkbox parameter in DashBoard? - We are using it for a 0/1 selector that is ...

Depending on which version of XPression you have, you can make a material that is a window capture, and you can just capture that webpage. Might also look through like RSS feeds from datalinq and try to use that as a method to pull down the image. ------------------------------ Garrett Hall ...

RE: Using the end of a video file as a trigger

I dont know if what you are trying to do directly is possible. - You could have other triggers via like a text box or something in order to type in the number of frames until trigger. - But without placing the video in the scene director each time, which would be more work than just moving the trigger, ...

I have a fun question for the group today.
