Too bad about the lack of MPD support. Most of my models are MPD. Sad

You can use MPDCenter to combine what you need into one single LDR file!
But there is no possibility to split that file later again into its components.
So for viewing purpose you can have what you like.

You can always use a tool like MPDCenter to create a non-MPD version of your model so that you can then use this importer.

Doesn't work in Blender v2.70a Sad

When I enable it addons window there is immediately yellov exclamation in triangle beside it and when trying to import my .ldr it says: "File not imported (FileNotFoundError)"

EDIT:
it does not work only for some .ldr's, complaining mostly that it cannot find some .dat files although there are there in "p" directory of LDraw...strange.

+also notices some strange artefacts on "computer" slope bricks where the texture is not OK, it is striked somehow with blackish strikes or "mish-mashed" with black something (hard to name it)

How do you install and use the script? Which files do I copy, and where do I put them?

[edit]

I got an answer to this question here:

I am finally testing the importer. It seems to work well, except for transparent colors not being transparent. I tried rendering both in Cycles and Yafaray, and the transparent colors in my model are opaque. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Okay, I tried importing a very old version of Datsville using this addon. I started on 3:45 am Sunday, and it is still not done on 10:15 pm Monday.

So I give up. Sad

Maybe you should try with less data.
