I was looking for the parts that came on the Sopwith Camel. Well, while looking at 6205 the Tile 6 x 16 with Studs on Edges, I noticed all the stud4.dat subparts were too low. I fixed that, but I don't know if my observations were correct. Anyway, (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | Substitute Colors for Dithered Colors?
|
|
Hi, I'm wondering how to treat dithered colors (LDRAW 0x0100 to 0x01ff, see FAQ). Short of implementing a dithered texture--which would preserve that old-timey look--I'm seeking a conversion function. My first guess is that the perceptual equivalent (...)

Ryan, that is what it should do ...

If you save it before it won't ask you. (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
