bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Started getting this error message every time I try to enter a command. What am I doing wrong?
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 You probably are not doing anything wrong. It is a bug. I know it can happen when you into the Configuration dialog box and change from "Full Range" to "Balanced" color mode. Try shutting the program down and launching again and it should take care of the problem
DownTown Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Maybe you can start by giving us some more information. What are you doing? What program are you using? What operating system are you using? From your question, we have no idea what you're talking about.More details please.D.T.I stand corrected - Brian seems to know what you're talking about Edited November 20, 2012 by DownTown
bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Using SS 3.8.0 on Win 7 64 bit. Trying to program 2 CCR's set up as 4 arches. Works fine for few minutes, then starts the "please enter integer between 0 and 100, asks this every time I do anything and have to answer 3 times, then command goes through. Shut it off, start it back up, works couple of times and then here it comes again. GRRRRR making it very long task to get anything done, as it does it on EVERY single command.
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Click on the Tools menu and select Configuration. At the top is a setting for "Balanced" or "Full Range" color mode. Which is it set to?
bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Works fine as long as I am doing Morphs, problem comes up with Scenes
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Click on the Tools menu and select Configuration. At the top is a setting for "Balanced" or "Full Range" color mode. Which is it set to?
bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Well so much for that, click on to use "white" in Morphs and now it stated doing it again
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 If you can, email your SSEdit.cfg file and the sequence you are working on to brian@superstarlights.com and I will see if I can duplicate the problem.The files are at:c:\ <your lightorama folder> \ SuperStar \ SSEdit.cfgc:\ <your lightorama folder> \ SuperStar \ Sequences \ YourAwesomeSequence.sup
bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Click on the Tools menu and select Configuration. At the top is a setting for "Balanced" or "Full Range" color mode. Which is it set to?Set for Full Range
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 As I mentioned, it is a bug that shouldn't happening. And I have been trying to reproduce the bug and cannot. If you email me your SSEdit.cfg and .sup file I may be able to reproduced the bug.But there is a good change if you go to the Configuration dialog box and set it to "Balanced" mode the problem will go away.
bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 I sent you the files, meantime I will try your suggestion.Thanks Brian
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Got the files, been modifying the sequence and cannot get it to happen yet. But then you said it takes a bit for it to happen to you. Does it happen after you have been adding effects for a while?
bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Happens very quickly, usually only get to do one or two commands before it starts
bkdraft Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Change color, delete color from arch, add color to arch, just about anything. I am sending a video by email.
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I have experienced the bug before, and thought I had it fixed. I know that the bug has to do with checking the range of the color value in the various fields in the dialog boxes. When you are in "Balanced" mode the valid value range is 0-100 but when you are in "Full Range" mode the valid values for green go to 0-120 and for blue they become 0-130.I know it has to do with that, and I have been setting color values for green and blue to be above 100 while in "Full Range" mode but I can't get it to happen. Even with your SSEdit.cfg and the sequence file you are working on.
BrianBruderer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Your video helped. It is because I have not been using the "Color Picker" dialog box to set my colors. As soon as I use a color such as full green from the color picker dialog box the bug happens. For what it is worth, it is becuase it is setting a green value of 130, this value gets set in all the dialog boxes even if you don't have them up. So if you launch the scene dialog box and type in a value of 100 in the green color field and you have to launch the morph dialog box and correct it there, and also launch the text dialog box and correct it there, and then the error goes away.But I don't expect you to do that. You mentioned that the problem doesn't go away if you set balanced mode. I expect you mean that once you start getting the error and you then go to balanced mode the problem doesn't go away.However, if you do the following, I expect the problem will go away:1) Set "balanced" mode2) Shut down superstar3) launch stuperstar4) the problem should not happenThat is the workaround, meanwhile I will fix it so that the color picker dialog box will not cause this problem even if you are in full range mode.
