  Phorum bug in code sections
Posted by: Travis Cobbs - 2011-08-30, 2:07 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (1)

The text I entered below doesn't contain any semicolons, but Phorum adds one:

Code:
<blah "http://www.yadayadayada.com/">

It also includes the close quote and greater than as part of the auto-generated link.

I'm not sure there's anything you can do other than report it as a bug to the developer, but I thought I'd mention it.

  The final hurdle for Non-CA parts
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2011-08-29, 12:49 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (8)

Cross-post from the announcements for discussion and replies:

Quote:Following the establishment of the LDraw Contributor Agreement in 2004 many authors have helped to re-develop the LDraw Parts that we did not have agreement to redistribute. Of the 90 original "Non-CA" files only 24 now remain and all except three have been re-developed, and are sitting in the Parts Tracker awaiting review.

I would like to get these into the next Parts Update to remove the need for this complication in the LDraw library. To help prioritize their review I have added a "Review Summary" page to the LDraw Parts Tracker. This includes the re-worked files and any dependents. It would be good if reviewers could take a look at this and prioritize their activities on these files.

In addition volunteers to re-develop the three remaining parts, would be most welcome.

  Converting LDD parts to LDraw
Posted by: Stan Isachenko - 2011-08-27, 15:36 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (22)

I found this article. There described way how to convert some parts. For automatic separation this long string to groups of 9 numbers you can use text editor with function of RegEx (I used EmEditor because I had problems with them in Notepad++)
In your program you have to find

Code:
(\s\S+){9}
and replace to
Code:
\0\n
(You have to put space-bar before first number) and you will have separated strings of 9 numbers. Then add 3 16 in front of each string using column editor.

I uploaded an upgrade to Phorum 5.3.17. Let me know if there are any issues related or if it fixes any of the bugs we've noted.

  [MLCad] List of known bugs in MLCad 3.3
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2011-08-26, 19:49 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (30)

Hi,

I'd like to put down a list of the known bugs in the current 3.3 version. Feel free to add:

  • If I go to MLCad setting, tab Rendering and choose "Background color" in that color dialog I can not browse through the colors - http://news.lugnet.com/cad/mlcad/?n=2305

  • In some cases I cannot manipulate the rotation matrix because the angle value in the vector field (which I never saw much use of anyhow) is something like -9.223372 * 10^n and MLCad does not understand it. So whenever I try to open up the rotation matrix field I get a dialog saying that the angle should be between -180 and 180 and the field remains disabled. What's worse, the same is for the vector fields and thus I cannot reset the angle! All I can do is reset the matrix manually in LDDP. *Highly* annoying - http://news.lugnet.com/cad/mlcad/?n=2307

  • There is a bug in the generated partslist when using a new color. For example when I use a part with color 81 Metalic_Green it reports as Chrome_Black. See: http://www.binarybricks.nl/test/colorerror.gif Can this be resolved with a change in ldconfig or is a real bug in MLCad 3.30? - http://news.lugnet.com/cad/mlcad/?n=2343

  • File > Scan parts generates a Parts.lst file that breaks long filenames:
    75174p01c01.daAnimal Dragon Oriental w. Chr.Gold Head and Tr.Red Wings (Comp.)

  • Copying a color to the colorbar the statusbar will always show the default color name from 1 - 16.

  MPD Issues

Searching for the perfect place to MPD format discussions, I think here is the least inappropriate.

  Possible error in mlcad.ini v2011-01?
Posted by: Tore Eriksson - 2011-08-26, 0:04 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (1)

I think the xyz translation of [LHand]:"Hand Hook" and [RHand]:"Hand Hook" should be "0 0 0.4" instead of "0 0.4 0".
But I could be wrong...

Try adding this (before deleting the official "Hand Hook" lines!), I think it's better(?)
"TE Hook" "2531.DAT" 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0.4

  Get Started link leads to old AIOI

The Get Started link on the left side of the ldraw.org website leads to a page that sends you to the old All In One Installer for Windows.
