Hi all,
does there exist a webside where I can find all
the dat-models from original Lego-sets made
until now? I thought something like the parts tracker
but for official set-models.
If not should we establish such a site?

Hi!
From my understanding some years ago it was planned to add this to the LDraw
site.
I dont know what happened to it and if there are any copyright issues
involving the TLC.
All in all the LDraw website seems to be pretty neglected since that
downtime in February.
Play well

This was the OMR--Official Model Repository. There was some discussion on
LUGNet regarding this a while ago. Unfortunately, there is so much in
demand, there is not a sufficient number of people "in charge" to work on
everything at once. :)

Thanks for the reply. I hope that my request leads
to a solution for the problems - some day.

Yep.. i remember now.. there are existing even drafts for it and so on...
The problems with these draft were:
Its not just a model repository. From what I remember they wanted to only
include models with have for example included the building steps and so on.
See.. if you look into the l.c.d.models.sets newsgroups you will find a lot
of models there... and most of them are complete.. but without steps..
I think the idea was a nice one but why not start with a model repository
thats not perfect rather than none model repository at all?
Too may ideas fail by wanting them to be 100% solutions just instead of
reaching 80% with 20% of work and time.

OK. I can take a hint : )
This is primitive and most of the files wouldn't pass OMR muster, but
here you go :
http://www.mantors.com/umr/
These files have been collected via the web and newsgroups and assumed
to be in the pulic domain. There will be more added soon. If you have
files you'd like added email me. Stay tuned for a nicer web interface.

PS. Yep UMR = Unofficial Model Repository

Hey, I think this is a great idea! Unofficial is always better than nothing at
all, at least in my book.
I have downloaded all the files from the UMR and plan on reviewing them very
soon. However, just from first glance, I noticed there may be a file
duplication issue:
6987.zip = 6987dat.zip = m6987.zip ?
(number is just an example, I haven't actually noticed this problem with this
number)
I noticed that there is at least some apparent duplication of numbers between
the three different naming formats. Once again, though, an imperfect resource
is much better than no resource.
Thanks,

Tim,
Yep there are some duplicates and to be honest, I'm not even sure
how many duplicates there are yet. I didn't want to start deleting
things with out having some criteria for deciding which version was the
best from an OMG standpoint. I'm still working on adding everything
that I've got. Any input is welcome : )
Thanks for taking a look

I like the idea but as an author of some of the models in your collection I
really would prefer a link to my website instead of just a collection of
anonymous files.

I was hoping to save the authors some bandwidth and save myself the
hastle of trying to keep external links up to date. I am planning to
make the user interface display the author, revision level, etc. so you
won't be anonymous for long, but I certainly repect your hard work your
rights to control it as you see fit.

This solution is fine by me and if you want to have the files on you server
that's OK as well. I just wanted a method of giving credit to the models
authors.

I agree. I actually have several models ready, including steps and error
reports. And one can imagine how many more there would be to include!
Whenever I get a new Lego set, I have this strong desire to build it for
LDraw.org; I'm sure others get a similar feeling.

Someone did create the OMR code a while back, and it still needs to be
integrated into the site by Rebecca, our PostNuke guru...
