A JOS file is likely to be a showfile. A fixture personality file is an IFT file so it may be they way you're trying to load the IFT file? Found this from Ed on another forum... The <Update Library> option in Super User can be used to update the fixture library on the console. If you just wish to load in a fixture file, not a whole library, please see page 49 of the Jester TL manual for information on assigning fixtures… https://www.zero88.com/storage/downloads/5ebda1d3-7348-4727-ae31-fecedf299a46/Jester-TL-and-TLXtra-Manual-3.0.pdf#page=49

Hi Give the attached a go and let us know how it goes LeLight LED Moving.ift

Hi The 17ch IFT seems empty and the 25ch IFT only shows 4 DMX channels with just a dimmer. I'll look to create a single IFT file that contains both modes

I think you're right about 'cue only' recording everything but believe the gotcha is that if intensity is 0 then it's a flag that says not to record colour/position/beamshape nor effect information. The only way over this is like @kgallen has said

@DMH@RJP The SPAM postings seem to be on the increase with over 40 in last 24 hours plus others highlighted but still on the forum. Please can some trusted forum members be promoted in a way to allow removal of these posts?

I had a rehearsal meeting with a local am-dram group last night where I was asked about them upgrading their Solution XL console. I've been a champion for Zero88 for many years but for the first time I don't know what to advise them - they need something more powerful and flexible to create effects than a FLXs. The theatre I mainly LX at has "upgraded" from a Leap Frog to an entry level console from a different manufacturer and another theatre runs the FLX s48 but, looking forward, from the chain above there appears to be optimism for a new "Zero88" console. Maybe the project/design/development team can post a hint or something here, or in the beta section, to confirm their plans with a clue of any timescales or potential plans and if anything is likely to be unveilled at one of the trade shows (ABTT or Plasa) this year?

Wow... The fixture editor is Ok for quick personalities but isn't GDTF nor easy to create multicell profiles. Zero88 Sirus, Alcora, Frog, Solution and FLX consoles have been at the forefront of the theatres and village halls that I've worked in over the past 35 years so am wondering if there's any direction for future Vari-lite theatre lighting consoles? The market needs rejuvinating with a new console to superceed the FLX or I can see venues moving to other lighting consoles with enhanced capeabilities and free personalities 😐

I've also been replying and tagging both admins to a number of spam posts and the next time I've looked the posts have been removed - thank you @RJP @DMH As I type there are 11 spam posts which need removing - maybe there could be a new group of "superusers" for those like us who are experienced and active in supporting the community and the forum who can provide "moderation" of posts?

Wow, is really the end of almost an era and of those I knew in Cymbran. Thank you for all your help and guidance over the years. Will miss catching up with you when I was driving by and also at the trade shows 😢 @Jon Hole all the best for the future

Was just thinking if I'd see you at Plasa this year and then saw this post... Sorry to hear you're moving on, losing your wealth of knowledge will be a big loss to the community. Good luck in your future endevours Regards Mike

Over the years I've had the pleasure of popping to Cwmbran for various training events, a couple of factory tours and occasional casual visits when I was passing by as well as visiting trade shows; it was always good to see KWR88 about, happy to help and advise. You knew the consoles inside out but you were also personable and I enjoyed catching up with how our kids had been growing up Many thanks for all your help over the years Hope you and your family are well and wish you all the best in your future endeavours

Hi Jon With your announcement of changes to the FLXs, are there any plans to provide the FLXs with more functionality in the form of editing of effects? I look forward to reading ZerOS 7.15 release notes to see what new features the consoles will then have... Is the Solution really 12 years old Unlike most modern electronic devices, the Solution XL I use is still going strong

@davidmk I don't have any fixtures attached to the DMX output of the FLX but watching the output screen, the intensities increase/decrease as per the OSC script. Also, moving the fader within TouchOSC varies the intensity of the associated playback as expected

Hi David This is what I tried to create "Go next" for a playback; The value is the playback number

Thanks Jon I had some info to post regarding TouchOSC and FLXs24 but wouldn't let me replies or create a new thread - I've changed the attachment format to jpg rather than png and have posted Ok
