COBRA Show Creator 1.3.0 includes new features such as 6.0 firmware support (Including DMX scripts), custom My Fireworks fields, the ability to drag and drop events on the waveform, and more.
6.0 Firmware Support
Users can now choose 6.0 firmware when creating a new show or update an existing show by going to the “Show Settings”. 6.0 changes include; DMX Support (details below), increasing the channel limit from 100 to 200, allowing re-firing the same channel up to 400 times, and support for custom duration pulse times for events.
DMX Support
Users can now script Pyro Only, Pyro & DMX, and DMX Only shows. The cue table columns have been improved to support DMX shows including; renaming current columns such as "Firework Name" to "Event Description", adding new columns such as "Universe", a new “Pulse Time” column, and a visual event type column. A new “My DMX Effects” section, similar to My Fireworks, has also been introduced. A new DMX preferences tab has been added to house DMX specific pre-fire and lift-time settings.
Custom Fields In My Fireworks
We added the ability to add/edit an unlimited number of custom fields on My Fireworks. Simply add a new field, give it a name and value. These fields will appear as options that can be included in your “Product List” report. Once you add a field, it will appear as a quick-add option for your other fireworks.
Ability to Drag and Drop Alternate Events
We added the ability to drag and drop ALTERNATE events in the cue table just like STEP events. Click and hold the ALTERNATE event’s row number and drag the event to the desired location. ALTERNATE events can only be dragged between other ALTERNATE events.
Waveform Cue Drawer Drag and Drop Support
Users can now drag and drop an event's duration indicator below the waveform to change the event's time. This feature also supports dragging multiple events by holding Ctrl/CMD then clicking each event’s duration indicator and dragging all the events at once.
Expandable Total Events Breakdown
There is now an expandable total events breakdown that lists how many Cues, DMX, ALTERNATE, STEP, and Unassigned events are in the show.
Support For Pasting Event Rows From CSC
Copying and pasting whole event row(s) between windows or shows is now supported. To copy a row(s), right-click on the row number and select copy or Ctrl/CMD + C. To select multiple rows, hold shift + click, or hold Ctrl/CMD + click on each event row’s number you wish to select. Then select a row or right-click on an event row's number and select paste or Ctrl/CMD + V.
Duplicating Multiple Events Support
Users can now select and duplicate multiple events. Hold shift + click, or hold Ctrl/CMD + click on each event row’s number you wish to select. Then right-click on one of the event row's number and select ‘Duplicate Cues’, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + D. This will duplicate all selected rows.
