Chauvet Rogue R3 DDF

Hi,

the DDFCreator can add the gobo shake function to the same channel as the gobos. However in the current version of the DDFCreator it is much easier to add this functionality in the DDF itself by hand. Just open the DDF in a text editor of your choice (e.g. Notepad++) and look for the gobowheel-block by searching for the <gobowheel dmxchannel="xxx"> tag (the "xxx" is the channel count of the gobo wheel). Now, you have to do two things: At first, add <goboshake /> right below the <gobowheel....>-tag. Second, you search for the following tags inside the gobowheel-block:

<step type="gobo" mindmx="xxx" maxdmx="yyy" val="zzz.png" caption="Gobo x" />

Those tags are the definitions of the different gobo slots. In order to add the goboshake functionality, you have to change it into the following schema:

<step type="gobo" mindmx="xxx" maxdmx="yyy" val="zzz.png" caption="Gobo x">
    <range handler="goboshake" mindmx="aaa" maxdmx="bbb" minval="0.4" maxval="5" />
</step>

Mindmx is always the first (lower) dmxvalue of the slot, maxdmx the last one. Minval defines the minimum speed of the shake in hertz (how often the gobo shakes in one second). Maxval is the maximum shakespeed (in hertz too).

I hope, this will help you to define the shake funktionality.
