	The forums homepage shows at its bottom the users currently online. How's that list being generated? I wonder why while I am writing this, there are 4 people listed different than me, and some guests, but not me.

parts authors

Posted by: Steffen - 2011-12-08, 0:08 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (35)

I just noticed that in the forums some roles are displayed for some users, for example:

Orion Pobursky
Website Administrator
LDraw.org Steering Committee Member
James Jessiman Memorial Award Recipient

That's nice, as it gives the readers and posters more context information of the poster.

However, I am missing that all part authors do not get such an attribute:
There should be an attribute "Part Author".

While adding this, I'd like to request a little cleanup. The attributes are not coherent currently:
some have a leading "LDraw.org", some don't. So for example one attribute reads
"Website Administrator", and not "Ldraw.org Website Administrator",
and the other reads
"LDraw.org Steering Committee Member" and not "Steering Committee Member".

As everything which happens on this site automatically and impliticly is ldraw.org stuff,
it is not necessary to precede each Attribute with "Ldraw.org ...".

So I suggest removing that prefix from all attributes.

Add ability to attach .txt files

Posted by: Chris Dee - 2011-12-07, 23:33 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (2)

	I think the file attachment rules are too restrictive. At http://forums.ldraw.org/showthread.php?t...29#pid2129 I wanted to attach a list of files. I didn't want to embed the list in the message for readability reasons, yet attaching "colour_metallic.txt" was not allowed. Is it possible to allow .txt files to be attached?

How to save comprehensive parts list for multiple models?

Posted by: Derek - 2011-12-07, 21:53 - Forum: Help - Replies (31)

I want to take multiple models in one file (6 of this, 3 of that, etc) and save a big old master parts list that doesn't break it down by model, so that I can buy them all at once. This is a bunch of miniature game pieces that someone designed, and I want to buy enough to play a game with. The problem is that when I save a parts list, it's just one of every model and none of the parts are consolidated (lots of similar parts). Also, I would have to go in and manually edit the parts list by multiplying pieces by how many I need, ad nauseam. I was doing this, until 3/4 of the way through I realized I'd marked a color improperly, and had to generate all new parts lists. Can anyone help me out?

For simplicity's sake, let's say I have 50 different models.
I need 6 of some, 3 of some, 4 of some, and 5 of some others, while only 1 of a few of them. I want a master parts list, all consolidated, that I can use for ordering parts.

BBEdit LDraw Module

Posted by: Ramón Figueroa-Centeno - 2011-12-07, 18:09 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - No Replies

Aloha,

I have added to Jim DeVona's ldraw.plist, found in TextWrangler LDraw Kit (see below). So that it would do syntax highlighting in BBEdit.

Save it in text file, named ldraw.plist in

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/ldraw.plist

I would like to know how to get it to do code folding on the steps of an LDraw file.

Mahalo,

Ramón

New images for site/forum etc.

Posted by: Tim Gould - 2011-12-07, 3:26 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (14)

A while back I rerendered the LDraw brick as I needed a large version of it (found here). As you can see I've now used this new version to generate a new version of the main logo as well as a possible forum logo.

These were generated in GIMP which means that I can upload the source file to the website so that anyone can edit it with free software. The brick is also released under a Creative Commons license. I think this is important.

Anyway, I'm no graphic designer so I thought I'd see what people thought about these images, and the change to a full open source design framework.

Getting Started with LDraw, L3P, LP3Add On

Posted by: Jonathan Smith - 2011-12-07, 2:20 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (6)

Hello all,
I'm new to the forums and digital lego drawing and have a question regarding the ray tracing side of things.

I've installed the latest all in one installer from ldraw.org. I then downloaded l3p and l3pAdd-on. Upon running LP3Add-On GUI, it asks for the path for LEdit.exe. I'm trying to follow the ldraw.org tutorial, but I can't seem to find where this file goes. Is this the older dos program, of which doesn't get installed in the modern Windows installer? Is there a work around for this?

I tried to open the irunin.dat file to see if I could trick it, but it looks like it's not completely text.

MLCad, LEODraw, etc. all run fine - I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

[Poll] To where should the top-left picture link?

Posted by: Tim Gould - 2011-12-06, 22:35 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (32)

Personally I find it really frustrating that the LDraw.org logo in the top left corner links to the main website and not the forums. But I suspect that its 'natural destination' might vary depending on who you are.

So I'd like to take a poll of people here to see what users think. When it comes to UI issues like this I figure the users are collectively more accurate than the webmasters.

So please vote. I've left it open indefinitely but the sooner we get a bunch of votes (and a trend) the sooner decisions can be made one way or another.

Part Request: Minifig Torso Peeron part number 973px423

Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2011-12-06, 22:32 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

	A cursory scan didn't turn up 'Minifig Torso with Jacket, Zippered Pockets, and Classic Space Logo Pattern' (973px423). Request that this part be authored. I have a reasonably high-res scan if it would be of use.

Here are the files for:

Cafe Corner
Green Grocer
Market Street

I think, there are some parts missing (the apples and minifig-parts for example) but all in all it's complete.
And I had forgotten: it's not OMR-conform.
