Hi, I'm new to this forum and was kindly asked, I should put some projects. This is my first project under the guidance of Johann. I still have a lot to learn, but I try
Hello dear team,
I'm new here, Johann has recommended me the forum. I have successfully completed two projects with the ldraw package and would like to thank you for the excellent software. you are doing a great job!
What you think about creating LDraw-based addons for free games?
For example, I could recommend create LDraw-based (using free MOCs, without official LEGO sets or any copyrighted MOCs) addons for next free games (or recommend other):
SuperTuxKart - free & open-source cross-platform 3D racing game (for Linux, Windows, Mac OS, Android and other)
YSFlight - freeware 3D flight simulator, but not limited to flight simulation only (for Linux, Windows and Mac OS)
As for SuperTuxKart 0.6 there was LEGO-like addon:
Addons for SuperTuxKart and YSFlight could be created using Blender (with some Blender addons). And LDraw parts/models could be imported to Blender, so Blender is recommended for such LDraw-based game addons creating.
I am using MLCad to build train with a longer train baseplate. Though I can use small scale to create instructions, but I am not sure how to scale down baseplate in BOM.
Can I create two pages of BOM? Or can I hide baseplate in BOM? I tried to set baseplate as ghost in MLCad but it doesn't work, what can I do?
When uploading sets to BrickHub.org, it now checks for OMR compliance, and in some cases, can fix errors directly on the site. here is a video showing how to use it. The checks and fixes are currently implemented in this Javascript file: LDROMR.js and are:
Check and fix file headers so they read "0 FILE <set number> - <name>.ldr" then "0 <description>", followed by "0 Name:<set number> - <name>.ldr".
Ensure the file name is "<set number> - <name>.mpd" with optional qualifiers starting from "-1" (See discussion below)
Check and fix moved parts: If a part is named "~Moved <name>" then replace its usages with "<name>.dat"
Check and fix placements: If a large number of parts are placed with more than three decimals in the position or rotation, then round the placement to three decimals. Example: "1 16 0.0001 0 0 ..." becomes "1 16 0 0 0 ...".
Check and fix all author lines: Ensure all authors are the same and read "!Author Name [username]"
Check and fix all license lines to read "Redistributable under CCAL version 2.0 : see CAreadme.txt"
Set all "0 LDRAW_ORG" lines to read either "Model" or "Unofficial_Model".
Set the "0 LDRAW_ORG Unofficial_Part" in all unofficial parts of the file.
Ensure all unofficial parts are copied into the MPD file and named with the set number prefix in the "0 FILE" and "0 Name:" lines.
If the set is from 2007 or after and contains old colors (6, 7, or 8), then replace them with the newer colored parts.
If the set is from before 2007 and contains new colors (70, 71, or 72), then replace them with the old colored parts.
Inline textured parts according to the non-finalized spec.
Substitute parts that have been replaced by LEGO. As an example, 2470 replaced 4459 in 1990, so the parts will be checked against the year.
Verify that "Theme" lines correctly identify a theme.
Verify that "History" lines are well formed.
Verify that "History" lines are in the correct order.
Check that tyres are colored 256 instead of 0.
The purpose of this work is to make it even easier to submit OMR-compliant model file - especially for people who are not using Windows, so they can't easily use MPDCenter.
I do not expect that I have found all OMR checks, and some of my checks might even be erroneous. This is why I am creating this thread. Let's discuss OMR checks and fixes
Currently, I am trying my best to create the stickers for set 10266 (Apollo 11 Lunar Lander).
I do this to learn to work with LDPC and LDPE :-)
Since I do not own the model (yet) I can only judge online pictures and reviews, but it is my opinion that the edges are round.
Do we need to mimic this or would sharp (straight) edge be good too?
Currently, some stickers have this feature in the official library.
I could be mistaken, but I think most stickers in the newer sets nowadays have rounded edges whereas in the past most stickers had straight edges?
If they must be round, would it be an idea to create a submodel for the bottom box, since a sticker is, in fact, a box that is 0,25 LDU thick?
Attached is my first attempt at sticker nr. 5 of this set.
Also, what would be the part number for the sticker or how do we name it?
did not understand how I could attach attachments, has now worked
