Two thoughts, when you in edit mode, it wants to be always on top, that is annoying, can't get to the chase folders without moving it off screen.

Second, when you "save" the new xml after updating a show, the main GUI doesn't reload the "updated" or new xml data.....when I had 15 in the cue, added 5 more, saved it, the main GUI still thought it had 15 cues but really was 20, had to close app, it re-read the file, > 20

Looks like a file refresh is needed after any edit is done

I found another error that needs to be trapped, in the edit screen, if I put the cursor on the 0 in halt and hit back space ( nulling the dialog box ) and hit update, it crashes the app, you need to trap on null dialogs or do an auto refill to ensure it doesn't crash because the arguement is not present.

wait time should be fixed in version 8.1.
On top can be turned off in goMonkey, although i have had this annoy me a few times too and can't remember why i left it as is.
The editor used to be a separate program and was shoe horned in. I rarely use FS these days so most things go untested, as updates are done infrequently and usually whilst watching TV

8.2 -> added refresh after closing edit screen

Understood....I am really full time into it now because I'm about to overhaul my entire light control system.....I need to make sure I have as bulletproof as possible.....ty

works a lot better but messes up my x-moves.....its doing all the steps sequentially, but they need to run three sequences in parallel.....how do i handle that? One sequnce is shape, other is all colors, last are gobos.....but pars have to be run sequential......thoughts how to handle this?

Feature request to support folders?

Gomonkey supports them FreeStyler api doesn't. You can submit feature request via the link at the top.

To run sequences in parrellel you should add both sequences in to the same cue. To run them sequentially seperate them into two cues. To allow them to continue across two cues place them in the same position as the last. I.e if xmoves colour is in the first row in the list in cue 1 then place it in the first row in t second cue

When you say the same cue, do you mean the same stack? I can't get the x-moves to light up, but they are moving, no gobos either......so I'm confused.......i also can't seem to get the pars to run simultaneously as the x-moves.....I've unfortunately change a lot of the file names....would another backup make any sense to assemble another example...... ?

sorry for that, I thought I had it, but seems I messed it up.....

Tcp/ip access to Gomonkey ready for iphone and android apps.
Using standard ASCII format.

GMS <- Commands from the server.
GMS0xxx Server version, sent upon connection I.e GMS001 version 1
GMS2001,xxxx,xxxx,xxxx,...,xxxx List Cues in Cue Stack
GMS2002,xxx Current Index in Cue Stack

GMC -> Are commands from the client

GMC0000 Disconnect
GMC1001 GO
GMC1002 BACK
GMC1003 STOP
GMC1004 BLACKOUT
GMC1005 FAVORITE

GMC2001 Send Current Cue Stack as CSV
GMC2002 Send Current Index in Cue Stack

Version 9
TCP/IP Server with Android App.

Looks pretty badass

Hi, sorry I've been desperately trying not to ask a question on this and have been working my way through Go monkey systematically and I've got to say I love it!!

However, is there a way to get Go monkey to start again at the beginning once the cues are finished? I'm using this for DJing and don't really have the time to keep restarting manually and with over an hour of stacks created now, it would be greatly if I could just get it to recycle and begin again.

Any help would be mostly appreciated.

if you want the stack (the center box) to loop, you can add a loop of 9999 which GoMonkey treats as infinity.
If its the setLists (left box) unfortunately not yet, but i can add it. let me know.

Matt

Thanks Matt, it's the setLists that I want to loop.

Try this,
Its been a while since iv edited GoMonkey so some of the things i changed i can't remeber why they were there so hopefully i havn't broken anything.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the update, I think I must be missing something as nothing seems to have changed; it still doesn't loop, and I'm not sure how to activate the loop.

Any ideas?

Thanks


P.S. It's also showing as date created April 2013.

Gees some people are so picky lol.

heres the correct file.

Fantastic, you are a star, thanks very much.

In an earlier post in this thread you said you always post the latest version in the first post.
However, the version number here (previous post) is V9.1 but the version on the first post is V9 (and the fileid is different).
Do you just need to update the first post?
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
I can't get the MIDI to work at all. I can't find any documentation on what is meant to go in the box, except some references in this thread. Do you type in a number there? Or are you meant to click in the box, then press a button on your controller? Pressing a MIDI controller doesn't do anything in GO Monkey, but I do see results in MIDI-OX.
The MIDI devices aren't named the same in GO Monkey as in Windows, but I think I have the right one selected.
I am trying with MIDI channel = 1, data 1 (note) = 1, data 2 (value) = 127

Can you please explain what you are supposed to do to set it up? Type in box or press button and GO Monkey puts the value in the box?

Thanks!

Also, do you think it would be possible for this program to be able to work with cuelists rather than just chases?
I have cuelists on cuelist buttons with several chases in each. To use GO Monkey, I have to recreate these in each cue. It would be nice if each cue in GM could be a cuelist in FreeStyler...

il take a look how feasible that would be to implement, all the coding is geared towards sequences and may not be that easy to insert into GM.

Thanks! If you have time, I'd really appreciate an answer about the MIDI setup.

The midi function was added as part of a user request and mocked up in a couple of hours so no where near perfect. it works by clicking a box and pressing a midi button.

It only supports midi CC commands, test without any other midi program open including Fs. my midi drivers for my midi device cant support two pieces of software at once.
