• Update the LDraw file format version number to 1.1.0. Note: 1.1.0 was chosen instead of 1.0.2, as this change was thought to be too big for such a minor version number change.
  
• Add the following sub-section under the "Basic parsing / file content" sub-section of the "LDraw Files" section:
  

  Quote:Multi-Part Dat (MPD)
  Any LDraw file, no matter its file extension, may be a Multi-Part Dat file (file with other files wrapped inside). This is done using the MPD Language Extension.

• Change the "MPD Statements" sub-section of the "META Commands" section to be as follows:
  

  Quote:Support for the MPD Language Extension is required.

Quote:To reiterate: No other meta-commands (including the MPD meta-command) are allowed in official parts.

I'm still working on the flexable parts functionality, I'm currently trying to roundup / implement all needed options for a bendable part.

Thing is I might be overdoing it somewhat, so I was wondering what the experienced LSynth and or part authors might think.

Current meta/option processing allows for something like this:



This 'path' has two sets of options (one of which is displayed in the dialog) that describe how the segments must be placed etc.

The thing I might be obsessing over is the fact the chain links still don't bend 'naturally' in my opinion (because they are actually double jointed in real life), but I might be overdoing it quality wise

Anyone think there need to be additional options to solve this (e.g. possibility to include prev/next segment for cur segment placement in order to account for the double joint etc).

I think the current options are quite understandable, but I'm happy to explain them more if needed.

Just looking for some fresh perspectives

edit: some more examples:

Hello all,

I am looking for this part 64647: Minifig, Plume Feather Triple Compact / Flame / Water
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=64647
I know it exists because I had it once and used here
https://sites.google.com/site/workingwit...ons/cowboy
Anyone know what has happened to it?
I cannot seem to find it at the partstracker either.
Tnx!

Jaco

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.

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.
