Hello,

 

I am having an issue when I try to add altered showlights. My package generates correctly until I add a showlights arrangement. At that point I get the thread exception error below. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!

You need to use the toolkit CDLC Creator tab to add showlights as a new arrangement.  Null Exception usually means something is missing.  It may help if you post a screenshot of the CDLC Creator GUI just before you are pressing the Generate button.  Also post a link or the text from the modified Showlights xml file.

@@Xaphist, um, try getting our latest beta first, then open new instance of the beta toolkit and "import package" you've created without custom showlight file. you'll see there's showlight arrangement there notice what parameters are used there in original package you're trying to alter showlight file make sure you've set all the things exactly the same(or just alter file contents of the cst_showlights.xml from your imported project) to test it.

Have a nice day\night :)

Thanks for the replies!

 

I tried a bunch of stuff and I think I figured it out. Basically I had just upgraded to the most recent version and I was importing a template created by my older version. Once I just started a new one from scratch everything worked fine.  Hopefully if I go back to update other songs I won't run into this issue!

 

Thanks!

You can always create a new template with the new toolkit by 'Importing' an old song psarc file and then 'Save Template'.
