   (...) Awesome!!!...!!! Very happy to hear that! --Todd (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Partsref Update —Steve Bliss
     (...) The funny thing is, it's taking longer to convert from BMP24 to GIF than it did to render the images in the first place... ImageMagick gives better compression than Paint Shop Pro (not sure why that is...), but IM seems to be an order of (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Partsref Update —Todd Lehman
     (...) I wonder if it has something to do with the image sizes being so small -- that the overhead of firing up IM for each image is the bottleneck. Under FreeBSD the executable I got when I compiled IM was 2.5MB(!) and I seem to remember it also (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Partsref Update —Steve Bliss
     (...) Heh. Maybe. It might also have to do with me trying to run it in the background on a Win98 machine. I moved it over to an old P166 with NT4, and it's going much faster. Unfortunately, the P166 doesn't have enough disk space for all the BMP (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Partsref Update —Mike Stanley
     (...) You know, if you could script this us so I could run it I would be happy to let it run on any number of my available PIII machines with scads of diskspace. In fact, with just a little time and effort I could rig up a remote controllable (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Partsref Update —Steve Bliss
     (...) At this point, it's all over but the zipping. But I do plan on making some improvements, so it can be done as a delta-process, instead of rerunning the whole show for each parts update. I also plan on packaging it up, so anyone can run it. (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Colorized Images (was: Partsref Update) —Steve Bliss
   Todd, I just pushed the first set of files over to the ftp server. The file is imgld0.zip, it contains black images for all parts. Take a look at this, let me know if this is a good format (ie, makes it the least amount of work for you to publish (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) Full-on swingage! OK, I see the other colors there too now. Man, this fully rocks! These are nice and very small and _very_ quick to load. (...) Yup, that's great. (...) Fine too! (...)

     (...) Further pulling this discussion on another tangent: Another of the new Duplo sets appears to come with trans-dark green Duplo train tracks. Unfortunately, it only has straights, so the Emerald City Express will have to run on a linear track. (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.cad)

         Re: Colorized Images (was: Partsref Update) —Geoffrey Hyde
     Ahh, yes - you have discovered that some LDRAW elements have colors hard-coded into them. They therefore do not appear with the color specified, but rather with the colors embedded into the .dat file for them. :-) Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde (...)
