intensity effect overrides new to Hog III

So this is something that has driven me crazy since moving to Hog III, and one of the few places where I really feel they "broke" something with the new OS. Because there are never enough faders, when punting a show one thing I do is record intensity of a group into cue 1 of a cuelist that has other info on it, for example color, for that same group. So I can use the fader to control intensity, the cuelist buttons to change colors. Then on another fader I may do a stack of intensity effects, "slow, med, fast," etc. That way I can easily switch between an intensity effect and regular intensity control on the main intensity control fader.
What is killing me is that now if I change a color while running an intensity effect, the effect will stop running, even if the main intensity fader is down because the new cue has tracking intensity info. On Hog II you could set both faders to use HTP and avoid this, but with Hog III setting a stack of intensity effects to use HTP will disable the effects.
You might think setting the options to 'persist on override' on one or the other or both of the cuelists would fix this: nope. (Not really sure what that option is useful for then...)
The workaround I've come up with is to change the Halt button to Assert, then quickly reasserting the effect after I change the color. But this is annoying to have to do, not to mention disabling the backup functionality of the Halt button.

  • [QUOTE=Marty Postma;36620]Two other things you might have to do, depending on how exactly you want this to work is:

    1 - On the first List, in Options for "Master ll" select Trigger Cuelist Macro, so that if you hit the "Back" key the Assert fires again.

    2 - If you want to use the Color/Intensity List completely separately turn HTP back on for that List only.

    Marty, I can't seem to find an option for "trigger cuelist macro" anywhere, and you are correct that hitting Back does knock out the effect.

    Also, I can set the color list to Use HTP with my pars and still use my par intensity FX, but setting my Mac color list to Use HTP immediately knocks out the Mac intensity FX. ***.
    Perhaps something in my cuelist is causing this... The options are set identically.
