amazing - moved my VL to OnPrepare as a script and now the TransLogic is working! I guess the PreviewVL doesn't evaluate before TL Scripting does ------------------------------ Nick Huntley ESL Faceit Group - XPression Devleoper Irvine United States ------------------------------

Scene Scripting Order of Operations

Which is executed first: Transition logic scripting or OnPrepare scripting? I'm struggling with some relatively nuanced online logic with tweening between scenes and would love to see an order of operations for when a scene comes online/goes offline ------------------------------ Nick Huntley ESL Faceit ...

Hi! Running into a periodic issue that I cannot reliably recreate and curious if anyone else has experienced this and has any advice. Our graphics packages have Full Screens on FB2 L0 and we have a separate scene for Wipes on FB2 Layer 10 that are triggered from the full screens. The wipe scene is a ...

https://dev-api.[API BASE NAME].com/v1/stats/players?sort=kills&sortOrder=desc&seriesId=[series key]&page=2 For now I'm just running a local NodeJS server that fetches all pages and provides it as a new endpoint at localhost:3000/players I'm going to also ask our API dev if we can add filters ...

50mb project limit?

Is there a 50mb xpf limit? It seems as soon as we get north of 50mb projects start to fail to save. Is this a published limit or are we just breaking things? ------------------------------ Nick Huntley ------------------------------

RE: Paginated REST APIs

Thats what I was afraid of. For this event I can probably just spin up a Node server that grabs all pages and then spits out the full JSON (or hosts it for the RSS provider to grab). I was hoping I was missing something simple to force DLS to scrape all pages of a result but sounds like this is more ...

Paginated REST APIs

Does anyone have any tricks to receiving the entire payload from a paginated REST API? I have an API that only returns 25 rows per scrape and I need all 60 rows. It accepts the argument ?page=2 but I have not found a way to have Datalinq server scrape all pages and present me with the full data sample. ...

Is there a 16-point limit on xpPointLists? I noticed I cannot get it to render properly over 16 points and it seems to just fail on the "addpoint" command after 16 points... Was hoping to do a line chart that is updated every 5 seconds over the course of several minutes and compresses the curves every ...

RE: Countdown Clock 'zero'

In the widget preferences menu for that specific widget, change the format from "s" to "ss", that guarantees a second digit even if it's a zero. Depending on the style you're going for, you may want to play with mono spacing numbers in the font as well (this makes clocks extremely subtle vs ...

Scene Object Deleted when calling Scene.Project.FontExistsByName from external API

Any idea why this call seems to force reference to the internal scene object to be lost? I'm writing an external build script for use in Developer/Studio versions of XPression and everything works flawlessly except for this random recurring issue where scene objects seem to lose reference when this specific ...

Datalinq - Looking up a key by index in a JSON

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Hi! We're looking for a way to access data inside a JSON datalinq source while not necessarily knowing the keys. In our case we have a datalinq that represents a team (Green on image), and each of the key objects representing a player on the team (Red boxes on image) are named after the player's ID number, ...

RE: Maintain Aspect Ratio Mode in API

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I can upgrade my Developer PC but unfortunately we are not likely to be able to upgrade all 15 or so of our Studio XPressions and 10 Designers at this time so I'll likely be figuring out a way to match the scale I'm attempting using the material transform properties instead of the best-fit system. ...

RE: Maintain Aspect Ratio Mode in API

I've got that one figured out, I was more curious on the "mode" selector underneath, if there was any enumeration not in the SDK to help change that via API. Every other part of that menu is workable through the API but I have not found anything referencing the "mode" by which to maintain the aspect ...

Does anyone know if this function of the Quad Options is accessible in the 10.5 API? I don't see it anywhere in the official documentation but I suspect its possible with SetObjectPropertyString catch-all method. Does anyone happen to know what this is officially called in the back-end? ------ ...

Awesome! This is a great list to work off of - should help cut down the number of custom endpoint requests I make to our API support guy exponentially! One other question - may be more of a support issue - any idea how many datalinqs one can active run at once before performance becomes degraded? ...

We use it on a few of our machines that we forgot to block from updating via group policy. It hasn't presented any issues on Studio and I've been building on W11 on Developer for nearly a year - haven't had any issues on my end when deploying shows onto W10 or W11 based Studio machines.

Hi! Through some digging in the forum I found an awesome shortcut that allows me to search JSON files for specific key-value-pairs using this method in the "column" section on Set Datalinq Properties and then use the "row" section to search any child attributes. Was curious if there are other shortcuts ...

Hi all, Curious if the Ross Acuity comes with the ability to speak to other devices (mainly XPressions) over rosstalk by default or if this is an option that needs to be licensed separately. Thanks, Nick ------------------------------ Nick Huntley ------------------------------
