Visual Folders

[AntiShadows]

Gang -

Is there a way to put Visuals in folders and recall them via DMX?
the standard 255 files in 255 folders? I only seem to be able to access files that i drag into the Visuals Library.

I can't seem to find any information about this anywhere in printed or online material.

I'm using VJ-DMX 3.6.5 on a HogII with the fixture profile that is Posted here.

Please provide some guidance

Yes you can do that. It is not in the maual, but it can be done.

you should check through past posts, as it has been discussed.

i cant quite remember how you number the folders, or what number they should start from.

the main thing to know is that it can be done and works!!!!!!!!!

This has never been implemented in the software of ArKaos VJ
It is only available in MediaMaster.

In arkaos VJ DMX, you only have 4 libraries. No extra libraries can be added.

1 for flash files
1 for still pictures
1 for movies
1 for live camera's

there is no possibility to avoid the drag & drop in the corresponding library.

With the help of Sebastien, Nick, and Anders I have gotten the Hidden Library function to work.
1. Add the Folder ArKaosLibrary to the ArKaos VJ 3.6.5 beta4 Folder
2. Add Folders named: 128_Library, 129_Library, 130_Library, etc... thru 255_Library
3. Make sure that your Fixture Profile in your Control Console is set to send packets 128-255 on the 2nd DMX attribute.
- I’ve edited my HogII Fixture to include this change to the 2nd channel

parameter = Vis type
default = 0
highlight = 0
crossfade = 1
type = htp8bit
range = 0, picture
range = 32, movie
range = 64, camera
range = 96, flash
range = 128, 255, Library

Then your set to go - Only problem that i haven't fixed yet is that once you dial into Library range , HogII shows Library 0, Library 1, etc. So you just need to remember that Library 0 = 128_Library

Thanks to the gentlemen listed above for answering all my questions..
