Whenever I load Datsville I get this error for a missing part:

How do I fix this?
LDStructure was a big help in this case:

0 // Alias of 2959

I assume that you did not have the alias files installed. That is also the reason for not showing the parts in the traffic-light4.mpd.
With the agreement to use a unique description prefix for aliases (=), and enhancements already made to the Parts List generator, we should be able to dispense with the optional installation of this component of the library. First though, I need to update for re-issue, all the existing official Alias files. See http://forums.ldraw.org/showthread.php?t...2#pid10142.
I am just curious about "Part Physical_Colour" and "Shortcut Physical_Colour".
I feel that "Part" or "Shortcut" should be the same as in the Main colour file. I am correct on this ?

Furthermore I have found the following that seems to me not to be correct.

Code:
0 _Hinge Plate  1 x  4 (Complete) Black
