You're welcome.

Isn't that the way things usually are, though?  The silly, little things trip us up, and then when we see it...duh!

I really enjoy these settings. Just wished the FOC ended a little quicker.


0.4-0.4-0.4-0.4 works great and looks great, but some (like my wife) may think it's too fast.

So I tempered around and got something more comfortable to the eye which I use as an alternative.

Change the number of flashes. There's a box where you can enter the number. I have mine set to 1, since it would only flash once on contact, right?

Question.

If I set that flickering does it sacrifice the flash on clash?  I've set the Idle Pulse to the consular green flicker, but when I change the flash on clash colors the Idle pulse changes as well to match.

Edit:  Disregard, I figured it out.  Turns out the LEFT/FIRST color on Flash/Clash needs to be the one you want it to flash TO.

You should be able to set independently. I had a similar issue then realized I had been reversing which sections of the color bars corresponded to the FoC, Primary and Idle Pulse.

Yeah, I figured it out.   For Flash on Clash, the bar on the left is the one you want the blade to flash to.  The bar on the right is for the current color of your blade.

You're welcome. I agree. It is hard to be a noob. I'm glad it's useful for you. Once you get a feel for it, you can really start to customize it to make it just how you want it.

This post was very useful... I been trying to figure out shimmer effects for my Lost Grey... I've been playing with the colors for over an hour!!

Thanks!

Don't know if anyone has done this, but I'm taking a post from tomfoyle and adding more to it.  You can find the original post here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=23756.0

One of the coolest things about the Emerald Driver is to be able to add a flicker or shimmer effect on the blade like the sabers have in the movies.  I took tomfoyle's specs and tweaked just a few of them, but I stayed true to his list as best I could.  Again, don't know if it's been done, but for noobs like me, something like this is very helpful, especially with the new driver percentage sliders.  

The time I list is the "total time", and I did a 50/50 split on the time.  The values listed first are for the main color, which mostly coincide with tomfoyle's list, and I put that color on the left side of the slider lines.  The values listed below give it the shimmer, and I put them on the right side of the slider line.  The format is Red-Green-Blue-Time.

I apologize if the formatting is sloppy.  I don't know how to insert tables into the forum just yet.  Hope that helps you get the look you're going for.

Love the flicker settings thanks for sharing!
Does having the led's in a state of constant flicker in anyone shorten the life or cause more stress on your emitter?
