Layerize in style editor question

ProffieOS
1

Hello The Crucible,

I read this:

Does this still work? I am pasting my various styles (found mostly from all the configs I came across here on The Crucible) in the style editor to get familiar with them but [Layerize] stays “grayed out” after I click [Submit].

I can only click on [Argify] which seems to turn the code into “layers” but also changes part of it. If I understand it changes the colors into “Arg’s” to make it compatible with the color wheel in Edit Mode, but I am not yet sure if I want that at the moment or not.

Maybe I have the wrong address ? I am using:

&/or (is there a difference in functionality between the two ?)

Also the [Expand] button stays grayed out but I don’t know what it is supposed to do.

Thank you for your time.

Layerize is meant for older version styles that use nesting and wrapping, not using Layers, something like

InOutHelper<LocalizedClash<Blast<TransitionEffect<TransitionEffect<TransitionEffect<Mix<SwingSpeed<400>,AudioFlicker<Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<84,60,0>>,Mix<SwingSpeed<600>,Rgb<255,160,0>,BlanchedAlmond>>,StyleFire<Rgb<255,160,0>,BlanchedAlmond,0,6>,TrInstant,TrSmoothFade<800>,EFFECT_IGNITION>,Mix<Bump<Int<32768>,Int<16000>>,Gradient<BlanchedAlmond,Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<200,120,0>,LightYellow,White>,RandomPerLEDFlicker<AudioFlicker<Rgb<255,160,0>,White>,DarkOrange>>,TrWipeIn<350>,TrFade<800>,EFFECT_STAB>,Gradient<White,LightYellow,Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<255,160,0>,Rgb<255,160,0>>,TrSmoothFade<800>,TrWipeIn<180>,EFFECT_RETRACTION>,TransitionEffect<Blue,White,TrWipe<1>,TrWipe<150>,EFFECT_BLAST>,400,250,500>,BrownNoiseFlicker<DarkOrange,White,200>,90,60>,300,800>

If you have a style that’s just all mushed together, simply clicking in the right hand column will sort it out into layer-per-line for you.

When layers were invented, (in ProffieOS 3 or 4 or something) most of the existing styles were converted into aliases that expands into layers. Layerize only works when you give it one of these aliases. Basically, it will expand the aliases for you and shuffle the layers around a bit to make it easier to use.

Argify will go through everything and replaces plain colors with arguments that can be changed using edit mode. This only works if the editor can identify what those colors are used for, and that largely depends on the style being organized into layers, so it also does the “layerize” thing whenever possible.

Expand will light up whenever the first thing in your style in an alias. If you push it, it will expand that alias. Unlike layerize and argify, it only does that one thing and then stops.
