Is the prefix supposed to be "|" or "*".

This post says "*" but don't know if we changed it later:

I'm fine with either, just want to update the header spec.

Our web host updated the server software last night. We are aware of and are working to resolve issues with some areas of LDraw.org, specifically activity.cgi on the PT. If you notice any other oddities, please let us know.

I made the nunchuck from the Series 20 guy, now how to number it?

BS lists the part as 61700.

The chain-links can be recycled from the normal chains, 30104k02.dat

The end-link from the  nunchuck is a dual-mold piece.

So it could be numbered as
- 61700s01, the top with the chain
- 61700c01k01, the top plus the cylinder (Cylinder uses hard-coded color, e.g. black)
- 61700c01-f1, Complete Shortcut Black handled plus a color 16 end-links and links

I have completed the lower Body of the Minion Figures. Now how to number them.

On Brickset, each body has its own DesignID and on Bricklink, there only an inventory of the standard figures and they use 67644, so this blue trousers are 67644p01.

The 67644 is embossed on the feet, which is the only visible number.

In total there must have been three injections, yellow inside, Outside trousers and the feet.

Here's a suggestion for the breakdown:
-> Should Colour1 and Colour2 be a u-number or simply another 67644 sub-part?
   

Here are the available bodies so far:
From left to right, Brickset Numbering: 68995, 69042, 69036
->Should they be numbered as 67644p0x?
   

Same goes for the heads...

Thanks

We need images for the Cylindrical and Spherical TEXMAP projections. If you want to redo the one for Planar to make the style consistent, that's fine too. 

Here's the spec:
https://www.ldraw.org/spec/texmap.html - correct is: https://www.ldraw.org/texmap-spec.html

Discussion seems to have petered out on this 2 docs:

Official Library Part Number Specification
LDraw.org Official Parts Library Specifications

I did a proofread a few days ago and they're pretty much ready to go I think. 

I'll follow this thread and make any change you 3 propose. I'd like to finish this project out.

I've tweaked the OMR spec somewhat. There are no material changes, just some formatting and clarification.

I'm currently cleaning up the code the file format documents to unify the style amongst other things. I may make some minor editorial changes but nothing substantive.

However, are there any objections from the LSB if I fold some of the added changes into the body of the document?

Example:
Official Library Header Specification has 3 appendices. I'd like to fold them into the main document and eliminate the appendices. The revision history will be listed at the top of the document.

Additionally, this document: Official Library Policy On Embedding POV-Ray Code can be cancelled and archived since the POV metas are already disallowed in the File Format Restrictions for the Official Library

I'd like to amend the File Format regarding META commands used pretty much only by the original LDraw.exe.

Proposal:
Add the following paragraph after the first paragraph (Beginning "Meta commands (or meta statements...") in the "META Command" section:

Quote:The META commands WRITE, PRINT, CLEAR, PAUSE, and SAVE are documented here for legacy purposes only and implementation in new LDraw compliant programs is optional.
