Hi everybody! I have a question: I regularly download official and unofficial parts update from lDraw official site and often I found some new parts referring to colors that are no more supported, at least if I refer to official lDraw color (...) (14 years ago, 9-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) 39 has never been an official LDraw color but a MLCad color. Parts (officials as well as unofficials) using MLCad colors have to been recolored. A complete list can be found here: (URL) (14 years ago, 9-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) BTW, could it be possible to update Parts Tracker image generator to use the new LDConfig.ldr? Case in point (URL) the front should be trans orange (color 182), not dull grey... Philo (14 years ago, 9-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) OK, understand! So using lDraw colors is the right way for the future. MLCad color in parts have to be fixed. Anyway I think it should be a good practice to disallow new (official or unofficial) parts using other than official lDraw colors. (...) (14 years ago, 9-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) LDraw handling of transparent colors. Colors 32-47 are simply transparent versions of colors 0-15. So, color 39 is a transparent version of color 7 (light gray), and color 40 is a transparent version of color 8 (dark gray). This seems to have (...) (14 years ago, 9-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Sorry if maybe I repeat something already said about color 39, but this is how I recall it: In Original LDraw, clear looked better with dithered lightgrey than white, so James and I decided to use color 39 for window "glass", instead of 47, (...) (14 years ago, 10-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) This explains a lot of things - thx Tore for sharing. I'm going to discuss this in the LDConfig workgroup and see if we find a solution for the problem. w. (14 years ago, 10-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Something to consider for the discussion; ldglite still uses dithering to render the part images for the tracker. If for some reason you decide to move the clear glass color from 39 to color 47, you may want to also move the clear light grey (...) (14 years ago, 10-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) But if I've understood correctly, the Peeron server is a *nix box and sr3dbuilder is Windows-only. So it can't work on the parts tracker unless it comes to support *nix too. Would the swich to LDView give a fix to the part images not properly (...) (14 years ago, 11-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That's nothing to do with the rendering software, it's due to overload on the webserver, causing the script that queues the rendering request to fail. I requeue them manually when I notice. Chris (14 years ago, 13-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)
