They don't even pass the fixture validator.
I guess you haven't even read the OP.

• A fixture should pass the online fixture validator to be accepted
• A fixture should reflect the exact indications given in the product user manual

is a contradiction in itself - the only problem with the fixture validator is that modes shouldn't contain the word mode in the name, this is what they are called in the product user manual. So one of those conditions is violated in any case. Shall I invent a new name for each mode?

The second doesn't validate because the manual says for the strobe effect "increasing speed" and the validator thinks it should belong to the speed group. But strobe is a shutter effect, isn't it?

So is it "should pass the validator" or is it "MUST pass the validator"?

And here we go again.
Do you want to be right ? You're right then. Happy ?

The word "should" says it all. The rest is common sense.
In the QLC+ add fixture dialog there is "Mode" and a combo box. Therefore "Mode: 13 channel mode" doesn't sound that right.
Plus, multiply the word "mode" by all the modes of 870 fixtures and you'll have the amount of all the useless bytes that would go into the QLC+ package.

Also, if a fixture manual is available only in german, would you stick to it and write a fixture definition in german for everybody in the world ? Please be reasonable.

The whole point here is that I started this topic to ask for some help because I was way behind with the review of the fixtures submitted in this forum area.
Instead, you took a random post and posted an update of an existing fixture and a new one no one has ever seen. Both should have gone in a new thread in the Fixture definitions area.

But who am I to say this forum is a total mess cause people refuse to simply choose the right place ?

Yeah. You are right of course.

I have to admit I was a little bit pissed - please forgive me, that's not your fault. I really should know better.

Of course that was the wrong thread. I'll come up with some idea how to include the mode number from the manual without using "mode" in the name and will resubmit in the right place.

Two new definitions:

• Beamz BAC406
• Geni Mojo color 150 (but I'm not completely sure if this is not what you call a "chinese fixture")

New definition:

• Stairville MH-250 S

Next round!

• Chauvet GigBAR 2 (Freasy/Jan F) [In this one there are still errors from the validator but they are not fixable accordingt to Freasy's post]
• Pro Lights Onyx (Freasy/Jan F)
• Big Dipper LPC006 (todopic/Norberto Pellegrini)
• Coemar ProSpot 250 LX (Flo Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)
• Showtec Kanjo Spot 60 (Flo Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)

One question: What is the sense behind requiring the pan/tilt degree information on a laser fixture?

All added except for Big Dipper which is in Spanish.
Thanks a lot Lukas !

For when we'll ever have 3D laser simulation

Here we are - open fixture library extending (;

• Chauvet DJ GigBAR 2 (Flo Edelmann - Open Fixture Library) This fixture still has two errors in the validator which cannot be fixed imo: The "White Strobe Dimmer" channel is indeed an intensity channel, but obviously only working when strobing (see manual). So the intensity type is correct, it should not be of type shutter
• American DJ Boom Box Fx2 (Felix Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)
• Showtec Dominator (Felix Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)

The two last of them are mine (Felix Edelmann)

Thanks for posting here

Oh, sorry - I just saw OFL and Edelmann and didn't know there is another one in the crew!
I corrected it, thanks for the hint and sorry again!

Hey Massimo,
today I'll have a bunch of new fixtures for you. But first, I have a question for you since it arose twice now for the second time:
What about fixtures, which support endless Pan/Tilt?

So far this was the case for the following fixtures:
viewtopic.php?p=49630
viewtopic.php?p=50213

As Flo stated in the last thread, a possible solution could be to adapt the fixture definition scheme. In addition to that, the fixture validator should be updated.

Until this is solved, I won't submit these fixtures for adding them to QLC+ but will keep track of them in this post.

Greetings!
Lukas

Okay, actually there were just 2 new ones - the others are Chinese or very incomplete.

• JB-Lighting Varyscan P7 (Felix Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)
• American DJ Auto Spot 150 (Felix Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)

Quite some time has passed since the last update - so here comes the next one (since I've heard you're about to release 4.11.2 I hurried up a bit)!

• LaluceNatz 36W 9 Slim Par Light RGBW (mlohrey) - this may be one of the type you call "chinese fixtures"
• Showtec Sunraise LED (Felix Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)
• American DJ Revo Sweep (Felix Edelmann - Open Fixture Library) the direction of the pixels in 28ch mode (left-to-right or right-to-left) is not yet confirmed
• Chauvet FXpar 9 (Jungle Jim)
• Venue TriStrip3Z (Florian Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)
• American DJ Revo Burst (Florian Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)
• Ayra TDC Triple Burst (Florian Edelmann - Open Fixture Library)
• Orion Effects Lighting ORCAN2 (Felix Edelmann - Open Fixture Library) The correctness of the strobe channel is not yet confirmed and there is no information on power consumption available...

This is what you call a chinese fixture, right? http://www.qlcplus.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 519#p51519

Some more fixture definition files...

Last two ones

Very sorry Lukas !
I totally missed the latest updates to this thread
I have committed the new definitions with the new format.

Hey Massimo,

I was very busy the last weeks but will have some spare time till September. So I thought about gathering latest complete definitions.
Since I did not follow the complete fixture definition rework process: Is there already a fixture validator for the new format? How can I convert fixtures to the new format and edit fixture definitions of new format? Do I have to use the QLC+5 fixture definition editor?
Or should I simply add the fixtures in the current format?
