How to patch these fixtures hog4/capture 2026

Hey all newbie here, teaching myself lights at my company to be a better tech and try to specialize a bit. I have a roadhog4 console and am using the capture demo stage “electric opera” to try and learn how to patch lights and organize them for stage design. The issue I’m having is there are led strips on this design that are listed as single control channels and are all patched to the same dmx address. I have not really worked with pixel mapping before and am unsure how to proceed with patching these for individual control. There are 16 single channel control and two 5ch irgb-cw that I assume work as controller for these lights. Each control channel has a different fixture number but the same dmx address. Am I supposed to build a custom fixture in the fixture builder and what would the profile layout be? Or is it a compound type? I havnt been able to find anything directly related to this workflow online. If somebody could point me in the right direction I would love to be able to make this work and expand my knowledge.

Anyone have a list of the buffs for the different types of <wearable> [item] shoes? What do you guys use and what are the stats?

All I have are these “Crocs” and they’re only a couple of coins and buff the hell out of (comfort) but it’s really hitting my (charisma) stat and has my (style) hitting the negatives.

How to make ma2 fixtures for ma3d with my own 3d models/finding a weird profile.

I went to school for 3d graphics and game design and know a bit about doing complicated things to get files to work in software. I have no idea how to make nrgsille style fixtures for these weird 14 cell generic fixtures at my shop. They’re solid and bright but they’re 14 cells, rgbw 56ch. I havnt found a profile that fits this and I’m not that familiar with ma2 but am trying to work on utilizing the lights i have with the ma2 console I have access to. Really want to accurately represent them in ma3d so I can make some looks and program with them. I can make a group of 14 generic rgbw lights which work pretty good (I think) but it’s a hassle trying to build stages with them in 3d.

You guys ever program a friend into your desk?

Programmer duck to keep me sane. He dances while I explain lights to him so I can work out what the hell im trying to do. It really helps!

Aggregating touch inputs?

Unique situation I have a 4k hdmi signal going to a tv wall splitter to four 1080p touch monitors that I have. It has a bunch of custom ui stuff for my desk but it would be cool to have it touch enabled. I do not have 4 outputs to use on my rig so I’m trying to find a way to map these four usb touch monitors over the 4k output so I can make the ui interactive. Where do I start with this? I’m running Mac OS Catalina.

No Fdr historical challenges?

Powerslide over the double tiddies. Switch flip to fakie on the (sans) Indian wall. Nose slide from top of the bunker wall down the spout and a smith on the oververt. As a fdr local there are so many things that happened there that should be recorded. Maybe when they finally fix vert so it feels as good as street.
