WH2 Library generator help

I've written a fixture library for a new Chauvet moving light (which is actually pretty decent for $999)
I've got everything working, but some of the parameters are in weird places, and I"m having a problem with 'fine pan/tilt'
I'm hoping someone can help.

First, the 'fine pan tilt' is coming up as a seperate parameter on the next page of wheels, and does not work as 'pig + pan wheel = fine pan' which is what I want. the wheels are laid out like this: pan, tilt, fine pan, fine tilt


second, i'm wondering if there is a way to choose which wheels a parameter shows up on? basically I want the 'position' wheels to be laid out as: Intensity, pan, tilt (with pig + pan or tilt yielding fine pan/tilt

here is the library:

version = 40
Count = 1

//-------------------------------------------------------
fixture = Intimida
manufacturer = 104
product = 6
name = Intimidator 250
yoke = yes

//Created using Denis Hessberger's Wholehog2 Library Generator application!

    John,

    The problem is that your fixture's protocol has does not have the pan course/fine channels in sequential order. The Wholehog 2 can only lock the channels together when they fall right after each other in the protocol (pan, pan fine, tilt, tilt fine). Otherwise you end up with what you describe.

    As for changing the order of how things appear on the wheels... it can be done by manipulating the "function.txt" file of a show. However this is NOT suggested. If changes are made to this file after any programming, then the show will get corrupted. Also if you try to merge, add fixtures or other functions the show may become corrupted. It is best to NOT modify this file, but feel free to play around with a blank show file and just use caution and make many backups (and try loading them to ensure they work).
