(...) This isn't the first time that LDconfig.ldr has been updated - and it is just that, the file has been updated with MORE colors than before. I think we are loosing sight of the purpose of LDconfig.ldr... The LDconfig file is meant to be a quick (...) (14 years ago, 3-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I disagree that this was the original purpose of the ldconfig file. I can say that definitively, since I was the one who first proposed the file here: (URL). The purpose was that when *new* colors were added, ldraw software tools would have a (...) (14 years ago, 3-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I never said that it was meant to limit, only that it is made up of these colors now. Please don't take this to mean that new colors can't be added, or that it invalidates other colors. We already know of at least one color that should be (...) (14 years ago, 3-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Neither did I but if you really cannot find a suitable color for your pattern an RGB say in the form: 1 #F2F2F2 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 part.dat would surely solve your problem. And I'm going to propose this to the new elected LSC. As for the broken (...) (14 years ago, 3-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Of course it would - as well as it does LDView. But after adding x, y, z coordinates and correcting RGB code syntax would work fine with both LDView as well as L3Lab! 1 0x02F2F2F2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 part.dat Don't know about MLCad, but I (...)

(...) There are already two very old ways to specify RGB colors in LDraw files. One comes from ldlite with somewhere between 12 and 15 effective bits of color information, and the other from L3Lab/L3P with 24 bits of color information. If we're (...)

(...) I have had parts on the Part Tracker held because they used one of these colors. That means it is limiting. (...) Color numbers 32-47 and 256-511 is not every color under the rainbow. (...) This is exactly the problem. (...) If this is the (...) (14 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) It might fix it (I think it would still gum up the PT with over-zealous hold votes); but why break anything when we're just talking about adding fewer than 200 lines to the config file? I think it's a terrible idea to make dozens of (...) (14 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
