Latest list of colors?

[Michael Horvath]

LDCad seems to assign ldMat382 to parts in a model I created in MLCad. I don't understand why it does that, since I did not set this color manually.

If you're talking about datsville, building_024_andershouse.ldr is using color 382. So even if its not in the LDConfig.ldr pallette the missing color willl be gray and yellow dithered.

Below is how I handle those colors, the actual RGB is (a+b)/2 of the two source colors.
might be useful for your script:

Code:

if (calcMissingDitheredMaterial)
{
 int cnt=0;
 TLDMaterial *a, *b, *mat;

 for (int i=256; i<512; i++)
 {
   mat=findMaterial(i);
   if (mat==NULL || mat->isMissing())
   {
     a=findMaterial((i-256) >> 4);
     b=findMaterial((i-256) & 0x0F);
     if (a!=NULL && b!=NULL)
     {
       if (mat==NULL)
       {
         mat=new TLDMaterial(i, a, b);
         addMaterial(mat);
       }
       else
         mat->reInit(i, a, b);

       ++cnt;
     }
   }
 }

 LOG_REPORT1(log, LL_Progress, logMsg_LDraw_doneCalcDitherMat, cnt);
}

My mistake. I changed the color in building_024_andershouse.ldr to light gray.
