  error w/ File Check tool
Posted by: Franklin W. Cain - 2019-04-28, 5:48 - Forum: Help - No Replies

When using the PT File Check tool ("http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptfilecheck.cgi"), I get the following error message when I want it to verify my version of an already existing (i.e. Official) file: 

Quote:Error

Filename (30367cps0) must be in 8.3 format.

Now, since file 30367cps0.dat is already in the parts inventory, that means this error message can not be correct.  

Can someone please update this tool to take into account that filenames are no longer restricted to the old DOS "8.3" limitation?  

Thanks, 
Franklin

This is my first model i make this way, probably has some alignments issues. This model was my second and last technic kit that i had when i was a kid.  (btw i still don't understand how i was able to follow the building instruction, they are really hard compared new building instructions.

  Some part snapping observations
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2019-04-26, 21:12 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (11)

Hello all,

While working on the LDCad snapping info for the 1802 library I noticed a couple of issues relating to parts fitting together etc.

I thought it best to share them in a single thread for discussion / corrections.


- Window pane 30046.dat doesn't seem to fit 30044.dat, its pins are to high.

- door u9371.dat seems to be 2 ldu too small, to fit u9370, height wise

- Shouldn't the front hole in kayak 29110 be 4 or 2 ldu instead of 3 so it fits something useful?

Given that 30367cps0.dat exists, I'm using its code to work up two additional models, as shown in the attached images.  

(Front view): 
   

(Rear view): 
   

I'm posting the MPD file I'm using for my notes, in case any of you would like to look at them.  

.dat   30367c p sXX.dat (Size: 106.35 KB / Downloads: 1)

My question to you all is, do you think these files are ready to be submitted to the Parts Tracker?  ;-)  

Thanks,

My reviews today seem to be taking about five or so minutes before they are properly showing in the Parts Tracker.  

Is any one else seeing this problem?

  Jedi Fighters (75214 / 07661)
Posted by: Franklin W. Cain - 2019-04-20, 20:22 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (3)

One of the LDraw projects I've been working on is a modular suite of Jedi Starfighters with Hyperdrive Booster Ring.  (As you can see over in my Gallery at BrickLink: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/publ...idUser=373 )

I've come up with the variations of the Delta-7 Aethersprite (from Ep. 2; from official set 75214) and Eta-2 Actis (from Ep. 3; from official set 7661) Starfighters that I like, and I wanted to share them with you all.  ;-)  

Thanks, 
Franklin

  Jedi Hyper-Ring (75191)
Posted by: Franklin W. Cain - 2019-04-20, 20:13 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - No Replies

One of the LDraw projects I've been working on is a modular suite of Jedi Starfighters with Hyperdrive Booster Ring.  (As you can see over in my Gallery at BrickLink: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/publ...idUser=373 )

I've come up with the variation of the Hyperdrive Ring (from official set 75191) that I like best, along with two variant "skins" (i.e.: paint schemes) for the ring, proper.  I've modified the external panels of the ring proper, along with adding in some inner panels to match.  I've also made some changes to the engines.  And I added a more stable "base" to the model.  

Now, I know the model still looks incomplete, because we don't yet have a DAT file for the stickers used for the engines' cylinders.  (Also, I made a substitution for the ships' insignia, just for the time being, until we get those stickers coded as well.)  

Still, I'm pleased with this model, and I wanted to share it with you all.  ;-)  

Thanks, 
Franklin

  Windows installation problem
Posted by: Dani - 2019-04-19, 9:14 - Forum: Help - Replies (2)

Hi all, I'm Dani, a newbie from Spain.

I'm having trouble with "LDraw_AIOI_2018-02_setup_32bit_v1.exe", on finishing setup, after checking file integrity, it shows "M: Installation can't continue, selected unit does not exist"

I'm installing in suggested C:\ path, I also tried another drive, but some message.

Are there another way to install this, even though I have to compile it from source? (In case you've don't get through this error already, or the installer can be debugged somehow)

Thank you for your help.
