  Updated 577.dat and Lightsabre shortcut discussion.
Posted by: Greg Teft - 2012-06-26, 3:13 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

I recently updated 577.dat to correct a handful of issues with it.
To support the length and hole depth corrections, the shortcuts used by the minifig generator were also updated.
There is some discussion at 577c01.dat & 577c02.dat regarding these.

I don't think a 10-year old part should be made obsolete, especially in this case.

I expect the users of the shortcuts are accustomed to having the light.dat in them, and that positioning them to get the desired effect would be difficult if they weren't there.

I do think that the new c03/c04 descriptions are better to suit the chrome hilt, but possibly adding 'Lit' to these should suffice rather than making them obsolete, grandfathering the use of light.dat here.

Please weigh in if you care if the current shortcuts should be made Obsolete or not.

  New To Forum, Veteran of LDraw
Posted by: Matthew Renner - 2012-06-25, 21:49 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - No Replies

Hello to all! I've been using LDraw for seven years and have designed both LEGO and "non-LEGO" parts alike. My portfolio can be seen here. To note, some parts are my own custom design and therefore not true LEGO, though I made the effort to fit them within the LEGO spirit and theme. I hope you like!

I am interested in connecting personally with those who share my interest in design as well as POV-Ray; my LinkedIn profile is here.

  SR 3D Builder 0.7.2.1 just released
Posted by: Sergio Reano - 2012-06-22, 19:27 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (1)

Hi again,

don't want to hammer the forum but an updated has just been released with some interesting new features in the UI. Available from http://sr3dbuilder.altervista.org/

Here is a brief as usual:

Fixed
- The Save function no longer ask for filename if model already have one
- Bounding boxes around current group remains even if you get back to your model

Added
- Extended support for Triple Ring controls in Animation console
- A new experimental way of parts displacement, a bit more like LDD one. Refer to english manul (updated
but not up to date with application) for a brief on how it works. Not too bad in my opinion for a first try
Please read English Manual http://staff.polito.it/sergio.reano/SR%2...20(EN).pdf for a bit more details
--> I really need feedback about the new UI <--

Changed
- Some manual updated abour groups usage and the new experimental UI
- Some small adjustements in many points

And here is a video showing latest features

Thumbs Up 98282: Vehicle, Mudguard 4 x 2 1/2 x 1 with Arch Round
Posted by: Owen Burgoyne - 2012-06-22, 17:20 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

98282: Vehicle Mudguard 4 x 2 1/2 x 1 with Arch Round

I've not been able to find it in the Part Tracker, so if anyone is able to create a version of this piece, then that'd be fantastic.

It exists in LDD, and I've been able to export it and position the piece at the correct coordinates, but my LDraw authoring skills are not up there to be able to recreate the actual arched part of the element.

  Does 32125 still need rewrite?

I've seen this on the list for a while, with CCAL 2.0 in the header, but still needing work.
Anyone mind if I re-address this?

  Problem with numbering the 3rd variant of part 4093
Posted by: Max Martin Richter - 2012-06-18, 9:53 - Forum: Parts Authoring - No Replies

Hej,
I've created a Train Base 6 x 28 with some holes, but I don't know about the number. Cause BL distinguishes between 4 variants, and peeron knows only 2 of them.
The numbers of BL and Peeron are not identical. So I think about to use 4093b.dat .
Any other suggestions?

Regards
Martin

  Parts Tracker authentication now fixed
Posted by: Chris Dee - 2012-06-18, 6:43 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - No Replies

Access to the Parts Tracker Submit and Review functionality is now available for all users who previously had those permissions. Users who did not have an account here have been registered with their previous email address and real name. We believe that this software allowed us to load the encoded passwords from the old (PostNuke) database, but have not been able to test that. Users that were already registered here merely had the Parts Tracker permissions applied (passwords and email addresses were not changed).

When you attempt a Parts Tracker action that requires authentication, if you are not logged-in to this site you will be prompted to do so. For a period of transition, existing non-expiring PostNuke cookies will continue to be honoured, but this will be disabled after a few weeks.

I have contacted individually the few users who had registered here with different credentials to the previous site.

If you notice any problems, please post here.
