Number of Pixels in a string vs number needed for decoration?

[bmcgonag]

We made some custom decorations, and as it turns out, it was easier to set 49 pixels per decoration than 50. I used an online site to create the custom model for each of these decorations, so xLights won't let me adjust the number of lights to say 50.

My question is, how can I make xLights skip the last node in each string sos I don't have to cut 1 light off of 12 50 node strings? I'd hate to not be able to reuse these strings for other decorations on various holidays throughout the year.

Look at "Set Start Null Pixels" option for your models. Another easy way to ignore the 50th pixel is to define a 49 nodes model plus a single pixel model (like a flood light) and then ignore this one in your sequences.

Awesome. Didn't think of the null pixel, I'll see if it's available, and definitely hadn't thought of the single node model. Cheers!
