  Re: LDRAW Help
 
(...) It could be, but it would be very strange to NOT have any of the included files unfortunatly when Ldraw can't find the Model file (or any of the other included files) it does Not display any message arning o fthe fact, instead it displays a (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LDRAW Help
 
Every other instruction file I download, and open with MS-DOS Prompt, gives me nothing but a blank white screen. I suspect that this is because the instruction file calls upon a Lego piece I don't have in my LDRAW inventory, is this the case? (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Can LDAO do this? (was: anyone interested in rendering for me?)
 
(...) Sweet! Since POV renderings take a while, and that you'd need a POV for each step anyway, I'm wondering if all the L3P output could be saved, e.g. STEP0001.POV, STEP0002.POV, etc. Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: question on naming - pirate guns vs. modern guns
 
(...) Hmm. Possibly. I thought a "musket" was a gun with a belled/flared muzzle (among other characteristics). Typical usage is for long-barrelled weapons. (...) I guess I'd be OK with that. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Can LDAO do this? (was: anyone interested in rendering for me?)
 
(...) Actually, it shouldn't take much change to LDAO. Just an additional loop to spit out a DAT file for each step, then use L3P to translate it, and POV-Ray to render it. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: some povray questions
 
(...) LDraw-world should require a simple transformation matrix. Would it be possible to define a routine that would handle this transform for any Anton-part? This would require that POV-Ray support passing of objects (or object-names) as parameters (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Part Command (1)
 
(...) Like Rui said, LDraw only uses 8.3, and other programs (and part authors) should do the same. *Especially* for part-files. (...) Yes. Also, either format allows the inclusion of path information as part of the file name. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Partial list of parts for 2000-02 Update
 
(...) Yep. (...) A. Because the barrel is a legitimate and common point for minifig to grip their muskets. B. Because it's a more standard orientation than going for the "grip". Maybe I forgot, but I meant to also ask you to insert a comment-line, (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Part Command (1)
 
(...) As far as I know, they should be compatible with Ldraw, which means compatible with DOS or more preciselly filenames must have a name like "8.3" ie, 8 characters for name, and 3 for the extension. Besides this, you can also use regular DOS (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Part Command (1)
 
How should the file name in the part command be handled? Should it be one word only (e.g. xyz.dat) or can it included spaces (e.g. Special Part.dat)? Is this handling the same for dat and mpd files? Michael (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Computers
 
(...) Um, it doesn't really support any flags. It still has the code to parse 'em but there's no way to put them in (I got tired of the dialog box popping up at the start for you to type them in.) I didn't write any control stuff into the program, (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Computers
 
(...) I'm pretty sure it supports all the LDLite command line flags, including the polling flag. Although I'm not sure if that made it into the Mac executable which was compiled way back at the 0.5 version. Don (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Can LDAO do this? (was: anyone interested in rendering for me?)
 
(...) What would be better is if there were a utility to help automate POVRAY rendering of MOC instruction books, kinda like what LDraw Add-On does for LDLite instruction renderings. Steve, do you know how much change LDAO would need in order to do (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Category Statement
 
(...) By all means! I was secretly hoping that my questions would lead to such a type of action. Feel free to rearange them into a clear set of instructions. You've earned my gratitude again, M. Moolhuysen. (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
