  [LDPartEditor] 0.8.1d Beta Released ("Fresh" install required)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2015-05-31, 23:11 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - No Replies

Hello,

I'm just releasing LDPartEditor 0.8.1d Beta...

Unfortunately, the included updater was broken.
Older versions are not able to search for updates newer or equal to version 0.8.1d.

[Image: imgDuke2.png]
You can download LPE 0.8.1d only from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) (64bit or 32bit).
A short guide how to check if a 64bit JVM is installed on your system is located at the bottom of this message.

  1. Download the zip-Archive
  2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
  3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LPE.
  4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LPE.

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, LPE 0.8.1d was carefully tested and developed, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss. LPE could endanger your system stability, too.

You can search for updates (in the future) if you do the following steps:

  1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
  2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

LPE 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 LPE on older machines as well.

Changelog:

With this release you will be able to...
  • ...use a new program updater.

This release includes important bug fixes as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (32/64bit): Windows [XP; Vista; 7 or newer], Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 2.5GB
  • Video-Memory: 512 MB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB

Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7, Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >512 MB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to check your JVM version (32- or 64-bit):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can try on the command line:

Code:
java -d64 version

If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like:

Code:
This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.

In general, I recommend to install the 64-bit version of the JVM.

  • ...Convert selected Lines to Conditional Lines
  • ...use a even better "Delete" function in the parts tree (it creates .bak files for project parts and deletes only the reference path to non-project parts).

This release includes bug fixes as well (thanks to Willy for sending me his log files).

  Part 20310 Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Capital Open Stud
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2015-05-27, 7:41 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (11)

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) Smile

Thanks.

  Best way to help part author volunteers to meet part requests?
Posted by: Neil - 2015-05-20, 13:46 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (4)

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):

  The Bricksperience
Posted by: Matthias Deinert - 2015-05-18, 22:48 - Forum: All Other Programs. - Replies (6)

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

And some pictures:

.jpg   2.jpg (Size: 35.27 KB / Downloads: 2)

.jpg   2.1.jpg (Size: 49.72 KB / Downloads: 3)

You can download the game here: http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-bricksp...rience-v12

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

  Unable to open MLCAD?
Posted by: Mitch - 2015-05-18, 16:51 - Forum: Help - Replies (4)

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.

  Tile duplicate

Perhaps I'm missing something, but other than extremely minor cosmetic differences, these two LDraw tiles appear to be duplicates of the same part.
