LDraw.org 2018-02 Parts Update Now Available

[Chris Dee]

The 2018-02 LDraw Parts Update has been now been released. This adds 1019 new files to the core library, including 540 new parts and 21 new primitives.

Thanks all,

I noticed the new complete.zip hasn't got textures in it.

Not really strange but the current ldrawunf.zip doesn't have any textures ether.

This while the one I downloaded a week ago had some in parts/textures.

Just wondering.

Texture files need to go through the same certification process as other files, and as none are currently certified, none were included in the update (not withstanding the statement that I made here that the parts update process has not yet been updated to support them). The three files in the official library that define TEXMAP files, but were released prior to Parts Tracker support being added (19201p01, 19204p01 and 3960p0b) still don't have their texture files.

I have fixed a problem with ldrawunf.zip and the unofficial texture files are now included. Texture files were being added to this archive one-by-one as they were submitted, but the complete regeneration of this file after the parts update excluded them. That's now been fixed.
