  LDView question
Posted by: Daniel Goerner - 2012-04-06, 21:25 - Forum: All Other Programs. - Replies (3)

When I'm viewing a model in LDView, there are always gaps between the parts. There are no gaps in MLCad, only when I view models (not only mine, but every model I tried) in LDView. The problem is, that LDView exports these gaps to POV-Ray, too. Is there an error in LDView, or ist something else in my software?

Move this:

http://www.ldraw.org/Article512.html#termination

Quote:Line Termination

All lines in the file must use the standard DOS/Windows line termination of <CR><LF> (carriage return/line feed). The last two bytes of the file must be <CR><LF>. (In other words, there must be a <CR><LF> line terminator at the end of the last line in the file.)


to

the LDraw.org File Format Version 1.0.1 page.

and add:

Quote:It is recommended that all LDraw-compliant programs also be capable of reading files with the standard Unix line termination of <LF> (line feed).

there are just 4 NonCA parts left. What is their status and when can we expect to get rid off them?

  Color questions (was: 3816ps5 Minifig Leg Right with SW Gunbelt Pattern)
Posted by: Daniel Goerner - 2012-04-04, 20:51 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (33)

Does anyone know which brown to use for the belt? No brown color I tried fits. How about using custom colors in LDraw files?

  [Resolved] LDraw Parts Tracker access suspended
Posted by: Chris Dee - 2012-04-04, 16:00 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (3)

The peeron server that hosts the LDraw Parts Tracker is out of disc space. As yet I don't know whether this is something to do with LDraw or the high level of peeron activity we have seen recently.

For now I have suspended access to the Parts Tracker to avoid submit and review failures.

I'll post here when things are fixed.

  MLCad.ini 2012-01 Update Now Available
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2012-04-04, 11:34 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - No Replies

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts
update 2012-01. 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/ini-en.html

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

Bye, w.

  Call for votes: Background color for sticker substrate
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2012-04-03, 15:46 - Forum: Standards Board - Replies (6)

Update the LDraw.org Official Library Specification for Sticker Parts by editing:

Quote:The sticker is a 0.25 LDU thin box (or whatever shape sticker is in), oriented such that the top face is at -0.25 Y and parallel with the X-Z plane. The pattern is on the top face; the other (five) sides of the box correspond to main background colour of the sticker pattern (i.e. the predominant colour of the pattern at its edges). If there isn't a predominant colour at the edges of the sticker, the actual colour of the sticker material should be used instead (usually white).

to

Quote:The sticker is a 0.25 LDU thin box (or whatever shape sticker is in), without any linetypes 2 (edgelines) and coloured with main color 16. The sticker is oriented such that the top face is at -0.25 Y and parallel with the X-Z plane. The pattern with the hardcoded colours is on the top face.

and

Quote:The sticker pattern is modelled by real colour; they are not modifiable from the outside. All printed colour of the pattern must be matched. Mimicking a colour by blending in the background colour of the part underneath using colour 16 is not allowed. Colour 16 is exclusively allowed for a transparent portion of the pattern, so that the sticker can be attached to any color parts and still blend in. Since edges are forbidden in sticker parts, colour 24 is not allowed.
