It seems that color code 82, metallic gold, was changed in latest ldconfig.ldr. It now looks dark and brownish (it could be a convincing copper color!). Is this intended? what color code should I use to get the right color in patterns or gold painted parts?
#DBAC34 -> #8C5C20

is there some Javascript "tricking" done at the multiline textbox for posting here in the forums...?

As soon as a post uses more than 1 line, I am not able to use the normal cursor positioning mechanism gestures on my Android tablet's native browser to edit the posted text.
i especially cannot position the cursor after the last char of the last line once i have jumoed somewhere else.
this is extremely annoying because it forces me to never go back to the text beginning to correct something, because i will never again be able to continue writing at the end.
I suggest to search that Javascript magic and simply throw it away.
The textbox shiuld work and behave like any other textbox on the inet.
I suspect that the cursor once is allowed to be at the end, hut then some script kicks in and re-puts it to somewhere else.

Please vote on the proposal below. Please modify the Subject to include your name and vote, in addition to giving your vote in the text.

Quote: PartDescription is the descriptive name of the part (limited to 64 characters). If the part is good enough for public use, but has some deficiencies that need to be addressed, the text " (Needs Work)" (without the quotation marks) can be added to the end of the description. Please note that the full description including " (Needs Work)" is limited to 64 characters, so this decreases the usable portion of the description to 51 characters. If the description includes "(Needs Work)", a comment must be added to the file immediately following the official header describing the work that needs to be done.

Hey,

Here is the new stable LPC 1.4.6 release.

Please uninstall older versions of this software before installing a new version.

Change log:

New features:

• The program uses now Philo's Rectifier 1.9
  
• You can remove previously loaded template/projection data (including lines and conditional lines) by clicking on "File"->"Unload template data"
  
• Pattern triangles can now overlap green projection lines! However, on overlap, the form of the imported former file will not be kept.
  

• The projector does not work as accurate as expected.
  

Philo Wrote:Hi Nils,

I don't want to distract you from you work on part editor but I noticed two small issues in LPC 1.4.5:
- It seems that projection on one of the triangles in the attached file is slightly off...
- Because for this, I disabled projection and used Slicerpro. I then noticed that conditional lines of the former were copied to flat projection. Not very annoying, but clearly useless

Cheers,

Philo

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts
update 2012-03. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available
in MLCad's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

A direct download is available at: http://www.holly-wood.it/files/mlcad/MLCad.ini

Bye, w.

Guys,

I had to update the Directx 9.0c module (needed by SR3D) of the AIOI 2012-03 for Win 8 and would need some people to test it. Please drop a mail to holly-wood[at]holly-wood[dot]it

Thanks, w.

For the last 8ish years I've been occasionally tinkering with my own instruction generation program. Not that I ever found anything wrong with LPub, as a developer I just like rolling my own solutions to problems that interest me. It was a cool little hobby project that I would improve a bit every time I created new instructions. It has evolved over the years, and it's finally reached a point where I feel other people might be able to make use of it.

Note that I just wanted a program where I could hit a button and get a PDF file. If you want to be able to fine tune every step/page this won't be for you. Right now the output is configured specifically for how I wanted my instructions to look, but I have designed it to be extensible, and eventually I hope to add more overall layout options. I have also only tested it with my own files, so who knows what you might get out of it. Please consider it as alpha software.

If you are interested in trying it out you can download it here:
http://truedimensions.com/lego/instructo...14_394.zip
Edit: Forgot to mention, the readme.txt file in the archive has instructions on how to configure it.

It has the following dependencies:
Windows
LDraw
LDGLite or LDView (for rendering)
FOP - http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ (only required for PDF generation, you don't need to install this if you just want to test the program and look at the images it spits out)

You can also just check out some of my instruction files to see what it outputs:
http://truedimensions.com/lego/instructions

So, I'm just curious if anybody else might be interested in this, or what it might become with some improvement. If so, I'd love to hear feedback. I have some time over the next few months where I could do some work on it. If not, no big deal, I'll keep using it for myself.

I just found this

I just released a new version of LETGUI.

Now with Selector 1.0 included.
Rectifier has been updated to version 1.9.
Also some changes are made for the call of windz (still version 0.1.2.0). Hopefully it now works on all windows versions.

Please leave your comments for this version in this thread. Thanks.
