  phandle prims
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2022-09-07, 15:12 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (8)

https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.c...andle1.dat

Why is the origin where it is? The reason of "that's the way we do things for clips" isn't good enough in my opinion.

Also, this phandle1 could reference phandle2 since most of the geometry is the same. In that case 2 should probably become 1 and vice versa.

  Tile 1x2 with minifig Neck pin?
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2022-09-06, 10:41 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (1)

Hi all,

A strange request maybe, but in my memory a certain part I am looking for does exist, but I cannot find it.
Really old I guess. I know I own this piece physically too.

I'd describe it as "Tile 1x2 with minifig Neck pin". A minifig head should fit.

Looks like this:

I could be mistaken though. Can be a clone brand too...
Any insights?

  Armor vs Armour
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2022-09-06, 10:23 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (22)

Hi all,

The other day I was looking for a certain minifig armor piece that fits around the neck.
Searching in LDCad with keyword or description for Armor gave other parts than Armour.

I think we should be consistant in either spelling using Armor or Armour. Perhaps both?
Can we generate a list of parts that have Armor or Armour in their description and/or keywords and make it consistant?

Why do we care about this again? I came across this comment from Chris and it got me thinking:

I think consistency within the Architecture tiles alone would make letter prims useful but I forgot why we cared enough to stop.

Thumbs Up Parts Request (3626bpb0082 / x454pb01)
Posted by: Jose Arias - 2022-09-04, 17:33 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

Hello, this is my first post so I hope I can do things right.

I am starting a project to re-create the 1978 Catalog LEGOLAND Town in Studio 2.0, as well as my first ever LEGO set,  6258 - Smuggler's Shanty. I have struggled to find a couple of patterned parts, and I was referred to LDraw by the Bricklink help page. I can't find the parts in the Part Tracker, so I decided to write a post in the forum asking for them. If the parts already exist and I am posting this unnecessarily, I would be glad if you can correct me and teach me where to find them. 

The parts are:

1. A red-haired old pirate head with an eye patch and red short beard (there is a similar pattern available in Studio, but with black hair):
- 3626bpb0082 - BrickLink
- 3626bpr0027 - Rebrickable

2. A white Shell road sign that is slightly curved (I can't even find the part without the pattern):
- x454pb01 - BrickLink 
- upn0252pr0001 - Rebrickable

Hello,

Would any author have both the will and time to work on the new parts: 1745 and 1748?

  TEXMAP Fallback
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2022-08-29, 17:14 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (9)

Currently a fallback pattern is not required for TEXMAP parts. I've been musing making it a requirement that a fallback be used even if it is lower quality than the TEXMAP image.

Thoughts?

  u9328 Tepee parts
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2022-08-29, 17:11 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (2)

Any chance we can get some reviews/fixes for this parts?
Summarized here: https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptreviewsu...?f=pafocus

Also, I 'd love for the patterned versions to be converted to use traditional geometry instead of TEXMAPs but that's a much more daunting task.

  [LDPE] 1.8.62 Released (bugfix for PrimGen2, bugfix for TEXMAP)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2022-08-28, 10:40 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (17)

Hey,

this release includes three bugfixes.
One corrects the condlines which are generated by PrimGen2 for all tori types.
The problem: the condline coordinate was calculated in a different way than the coordinate of the quad, which resulted in minor differences.

The other two bugfixes are solving display problems with TEXMAP. I noticed the issues while I was checking 2454aps5.dat.


[Image: attachment.php?aid=12753]

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(3 bug fixes)

With this release the following critical issues are fixed:

  1. The generated condline coordinates for the Torus from PrimGen2 did not match the coordinates of the generated quads.
  2. The transparency calculation for TEXMAP images was incorrect on the old OpenGL 2 renderer.
  3. Fallback geometry in TEXMAP sections was shown (in LDraw Standard render mode with the old OpenGL 2 renderer).

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
  2. Run LDPartEditor-1.8.62.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.62-1_amd64.deb
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.62.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
        4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
        4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB
Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB
  • For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.
