Aha! I did not realize the aux channels were tied to effects but that makes sense. As for where they're going, iv'e added a piece to my saber that hasn't gotten much love. I think it wierds people out so, pretty much mission accomplished.
EDIT: in the time it took me to figure out what to say here I jumped in the launcher and implemented the changes. nothing drastic, just proof of concept, the right side is a red/blue lamp so I have the red steady and the blue pulsing so it pulses from red to purple. Other side is just a violet assigned to power monitor. It works better than I could have dreamed, thank you atron! Your'e a technological avatar. I'm more Moloch myself.
Which points do you prefer? Here's some pics so everyone can throw the love/hate. Be honest, I know i'm slightly twisted.
So, explanation. I'm not force sensitive, just a tinkerer/engineer/weapon smith. The throttle is an analogue control to change the blade shape/size. Iv'e played with the idea of saying it's based on the Protosaber, (not proto-saber)
or even the Scepter of Ragnos. And i'd still like to build a pack to make it a retro saber.
One from last night, green font, better setting, capturing the blinking violet power indicator.
And the rest of the accessories inspired by the Raven Reborn. The costume was a not-a-kilt, hence the sporran. And yeah, i'm coming up with a better name, for now i'm going with Ruth.
@ Rapine, sorry about the sig, didn't pay much attention as I figured I'd do a new one as soon as I finished the saber. Now I have to put a little work into that, but I cut the old one down.
So, All four aux channels in use! Unqualified success! Thank you again atron, this makes my year!
