  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) Considering the conservative spirit that rules this community, where it is preferred to have no-progress over breaking backwards compatibility an where standards set in LDraw 0.27 should be possibly kept for eternity, such ideas have to be (...)

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) I know. It's heresy! But if there are enough good reasons to make that leap, it might be worth it. Steve (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) I don't know why you need this, but I just did a test with LDView and it works. You can call an mpd file from within a part and the first model in the mpd file is shown together with the other content of the part file. cu mikeheide (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) HURRAY! And in one go we are also gonna drop dithered colors in favour of RGBs. We'll have textures, the LSC is finally shaping the LCD - LDraw Connection Database (URL) and yourself are going to help getting LDView working as PT rendering (...)

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) Err, what? No, don't mix color codes and RGBs in official parts! This isn't an issue of backwards compatibility. It's an issue of adding complexity where it isn't needed (IMO, of course). (...) Ha! I'd have to get it back from Chris... Steve (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) I apologize for dreaming out loud. For a sec I've forgotten that we are a conservative community - at least some of us. (...) No password, not a single CA-header edit on your agenda nor a library update since ... was it 2004 or 2005? Steve, (...) (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) Your passive-aggressive whining wears thin, Willy. Your chief target laughs it off, but you keep at it. What little sense of community there might be is not helped by this behavior or attitude. This approach says a lot more about you (and (...) (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) Not sure where you're going with that. I think adding RGB colors to official parts would not be a net improvement to the parts library system. It has nothing to do with backwards compatibility or conservatism. Steve (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) Steve, our opposing positions on RGBs are known. What I seek in this very moment is your position on the second question in this post: (URL) "No password, not a single CA-header edit on your agenda nor a library update since ... was it 2004 or (...)

  Re: "Dither" colors in patterned/sticker parts
 
(...) DOH! I forgot to include -- Part of the reason I think RGB colors are not the way to go is because they don't solve the real problem -- there are a good number of patterns that can't realistically be modeled in LDraw. Anything with gradients, (...) (14 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
