Hi everyone,

Recently, I decided to submit some of my own parts to the part tracker. Some of them are stickers, for set 70816.
I know that almost all of them do not meet the standard because of some choices I made when authoring them.

-First, a lot of them are flat but due to fit on sloped parts. I created them bended and right in place regarding the part associated.
I know it's a violation to the standard, but if I modify them and make them flat and horizontal, It then very difficult to place them correctly on the model later. It was a concious choice because of the sole usage of these stickers on this very set.

-Two, some of them are formed stickers due to fit on curved parts, so, consciously, I added conditional lines to the stickers, even if I knew it's another violation to the standard. Removing cond lines will ruin the renders in Pov ray.

So, I want to know if these stickers can be removed from the parts tracker, as I dont really want to correct these issues. corrections will make them totally useless for me.

I know I should have asked all these questions before submitting. I'm very sorry for inconvenience.

Chris

Hi all,

Its been a while since I've been here, but I am still into LDraw!
For a new model I need this very new part:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=20310
It is only used (or going to be used) in http://brickset.com/sets/41098-1/Emma-s-Tourist-Kiosk which is brand new too.
Can someone make a mockup or create the part?
I can provide hi-res pictures if needed.

Thanks!

Jaco

I could not find the (3) 5541 set stickers, anyone working on those, I think they are fairly easy to make (except maybe the license plate one).

I would appreciate it if these stickers made it into the library at some point (goes for all the missing model team stickers)

Thanks.

Greetings LDraw Friends,

Aside from providing links to BrickLink/BrickSet images, is there anything I can do to help part author volunteers to meet part requests?

For example, does a part author need to physically have the part and 3D-scan it? Such as Sabine's hair (from the Ezra Speeder Bike set):

Hello LDraw Community!

I have created a relaxing PC game called The Bricksperience. You are a minifig and build sets. There is no goal apart from completing the build. Afterwards you get rewarded with Bricksperience points which you can use to unlock new features so bigger sets won't be an everlasting challenge.

Why I post this here? Because it uses LDR files as input! There are two buttons in the miscellaneous options menu to export all the available bricks from the game as either an LDD palette or an LDR file. That way you can put in your own files and build them.

The game is currently released as version 1.2. You can get some impressions here if you don't want to download it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6NC_URn7EQ

If you decide to give it a try, I'd be very glad when you would let me know what you think!

I've just installed the AIOI package on my laptop (windows 8, 64 bit, directly in the c:/ drive) and I can't seem to open mlcad or lpub. mlcad keeps asking for a parts or p directory, I browse to the parts folder and hit 'ok' and I get diddly. LPub wants me to 'browse for folders"... but it doesn't tell me what folders. LView worked fine, LFind is building databases as I type this...

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: Fixed-my LDraw folder somehow got dumped in C:/Public/Documents, and MLCAD was pissed it couldn't find it. Moved it to C:/ proper, pointed it to LDraw, and it worked.
