This is just a scratchpad of what to do next in this wiki - feel free to register and contribute.

• elaborate on wishlist
• Write a little howto on the namespace structure in Ai
• Ai templates
• handle notation: chaseHandleUN, paletteHandleUN, cueHandleUN, playbackHandleUN, masterHandleID, trackHandleID, groupHandleUN, see also http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6196&p=22250#p22250
• list more FixtureControlIDs (FixtureControlId), e.g. Shutter or Prism. They are in the show only if such a fixture is patched

see above

See below for the planned structure of types, object types, identifiers

Identifiers

(Gregory, 27.08.2018)
Unfortunately no I don’t think there is any way to tell for sure. However generally older parts of the software such as Handles and Palettes will require function calls whereas newer or rewritten code such as Edit Times, Playback Options, Timecode and Capture settings will normally respond directly to the property changes. This is mainly because the latter was not always possible and we don’t generally rewrite working code unless there is a need to as this runs the risk of introducing bugs.

is there a way to tell whether setting a property is enough (like in ActionScript.SetProperty(“Playbacks.Editor.Times.PlaybackReleaseTime”, time:0) ) or both must be done (property set AND function applied, like with lockState)?

Gregory, Email 11.12.19 re. new variables: <start>, <end>, automatic definition of variables

Toggle Trigger Mappings in v12, see https://www.facebook.com/groups/Avolites/permalink/1766567636808796/ and http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6337

Example for version checking, syntax of nested quotes etc.

  <macro name="Set PB 903 legend" id="Macros.SetPB903Legend">
    <description></description>
    <sequence>
      <step>Handles.SetSourceHandleFromHandle("playbackHandleUN=903")</step>
      <step condition="Math.String.StartsWith(System.SoftwareVersion, '13')">{
        ActionScript.SetProperty("Handles.PendingLegend", "This is v13");
        Handles.SetLegend();
        Handles.ClearSelection();
      }</step>
    </sequence>
  </macro>

Elaborate on trigger software usage on Software List, e.g. Show Cockpit from https://www.facebook.com/groups/Avolites/?post_id=1830168723782020&comment_id=1830316103767282

• convert chase to list by syntax, see https://www.facebook.com/groups/AvolitesTitanOne/permalink/1593613030774823/
• use macro on single cue (with sACN triggers)
• create a group master on old software (with negative shape)
• create a size master on v9 (clock shape triggered with sACN and inverted curve)
• fade fx size/rate over time (in cue list, with a master being triggered by a virtual dimmer channel)
• make a pixel effect track (cuelist cue fires macro which toggles an external playback on/off)
• special cuelist (fader fires cue 1, go toggles between 2 and 3), see https://www.facebook.com/groups/260735644292354/permalink/732708060428441
• use clock as timer/stop watch, see https://www.avolites.de/wiki/macros:example:timecodestartstop and https://www.facebook.com/groups/Avolites/permalink/1444431649022398/
• Titan Ports, see titan_ports.xlsx
• set Fixture Library date to avoid Health Check:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avolites\Titan\Libraries]
"VersionDateTime"="2028-08-14 05:49:32"

Ai tricks and pitfalls

• renumbering fixtures
• no audio files on the performance page!
• how to enable tap tempo (tap widget, system settings, Beat settings per tile)
• antialiasing (double resolution, see movingscreens/email)
• what is saved where
• how to save and use clip collections
• how to create a project thumbnail
• wrong codec may even disturb playmodes
• MPEG Streamclip for transcoding
• MIDI trigger on the performance page requires MIDI notes - ControlChange doesn't work here

Is there a wiki plugin to show a number of random pages from the namespace, e.g. in Ai/Examples?

identifiers (essentially this is the most common ways to idetify particular items)
  Clear mask: Intensity=1, Positions=2, Colours=4, Gobos=8, Beam=16, 
    Effect = 32, Special = 64, FX = 128, Time = 256  also see AcwRecordMask?!?
