I created a spreadsheet that organizes zone naming based on a lasers position on a stage, it has a section that allows me to position the names in cells based on where they are and then generates various chase effects via pangoscript. I have a lot of other ideas of things i would like to script and automate to save time and broaden the scope of what i can achieve by speeding up the minutia. I ran into a lot of roadblocks that either required a workaround or using a different method than i thought would be intuitive. For example i wanted to be able to script creating the zone file so that i could enter everything in the spreadsheet and have a script write the files for me so i didn't have to manually input them every time. The zone files use some type of encryption and i found no real solution to having to do this manually. the same was true for a lot of files, zone chases, color effect gradients (if i could do this with color effect or brightness effect gradients i have an idea though would be so ground breaking i don't want to reveal it just yet). I understand that the encryption is likely in order to prevent people from being able to back engineer the software and create a competitor, but the amount of possibilities that are locked behind the manual input is very unfortunate. Does anyone have a solution for automating some of the areas where pangoscript can't be used?
tldr: i want to be able to automate things like zone chase effects where a laser can be added or removed without needing to update, or unique color effect gradients for each laser. Pangoscript can't do this and the files are encrypted otherwise a script could do it easily.
