  Error with OSMesa version of LDView
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2023-09-22, 23:26 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

I'm having a problem with the OSMesa version of LDView used by the PT. It's not rendering some things correctly in some case and I can't seem to figure out why. Attached is the one of the problematic files. It renders fine with the Windows build and in Lasse's buildinginstructions.js but as you can see by the image below, the Linux OSMesa version doesn't
   

As this is generated by code, there may be some sort of error in the file that I'm not noticing.

  4569 , 3968 , 3567
Posted by: SNIPE - 2023-09-22, 0:09 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (8)

Hi,

I would like to request these cool new parts:

4569 (edit: on PT)
3968
3567 (edit: on PT)

I can give more info if needed.

I made a dummy part 3567 by just overlaying a 2x2 inverted dish with a upside down 2x2 round tile.but that's obviously not going to be in the law library like that,

Thanks.

  [LDPE] 1.8.71 Released (faster start, text line selection bugfix, !DATA)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2023-09-19, 18:52 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (12)

Hey,

thanks again to Willy's feedback, this release fixes a few bugs, too.
One bug is related to the line selection (when you clicked on the line number in the text editor).
Another bug addressed the broken 3D view rotation via keyboard under Linux.

It should perform a little bit better than the previous version.

I implemented some basic support for the !DATA meta command for PNG images, but the file size is currently limited to 42KB. This size limit will be adjustable in the future.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=12753]

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(4 new features and 2 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

  • ...benefit from a slightly faster program start (technical details: JDK upgrade from version 17 to 21, LWJGL upgrade from version 3.2 to 3.3)
  • ...use the !DATA meta command (currently limited to small PNGs of 42KB size)
  • ...access the unit converter in a separate tab.
  • ...have a new "double-arrow" icon for the "Update/Compile Subfile Data" function.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. [Linux-only] Rotating the 3D view via keyboard shortcut (not middle mouse button) warped the viewport and let it "jump".
  2. Selecting a line via click on the line number in the text editor and then showing the selection in the 3D view, selected the next line, too.

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
  2. Run LDPartEditor-1.8.71.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.71-1_amd64.deb
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.71.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
        4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
        4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 150 MB
Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 500 MB
  • For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

  Advisory: Automatic download of parts by 3rd party programs may be broken
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2023-09-11, 17:31 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - No Replies

Due to ongoing site upgrades requiring all connections be over SSL, automatic parts downloads by LDview and other 3rd party programs may be broken. Once a workaround to allow non-SSL connections is implemented, I will post a follow up here.

  We have a problem, again
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2023-09-09, 14:24 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

Remember adapting 41750 to the shape of 61678 ?
It turns out that the problem is even bigger. The Porsche slope has to fit too.

   

   

The grey are adapted to fit under the trans slope, and the yellow are adapted to fit the trans yellow, but these 2 groups should have the same slope shape.

  Bug Advisory: Leading BFC Statements
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2023-09-06, 17:45 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (3)

A bug in the Parts Tracker is stripping any BFC statements that are the first line of the part body.

Example

Code:
<part header>

0 BFC INVERTNEXT
1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2-4cyli.dat

In the above case the "BFC INVERTNEXT" statement would be removed.

To mitigate this issue, have at least one non-BFC line as the start of the body

Example:
Code:
<part header>

1 0 0 20 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stud.dat
0 BFC INVERTNEXT
1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2-4cyli.dat

The above BFC statement will not be affected.

This bug has the potential to affect all parts submitted, released, or header edited since approximately Julyl 16.

  PT Part deletion

All part deletion on the PT is on hold until I implement a method to better preserve the comment history.
