  Re: People please stop uploading BMP to www.brickshelf.com!!!
 
(...) I agree that BMP's are unsuited for web publishing. As you say, it is better to use compressed GIF, PNG of JPEG, depending on the kind of image. I think that most people who upload BMP's or other uncompressed image files do so out of (...) (23 years ago, 1-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish)
 
  People please stop uploading BMP to www.brickshelf.com!!!
 
Can someone tell me why someone people upload bmps to www.brickshelf.com instead of uploading GIF, PNG or JPG files? I can't view bmp from the web browser so stop doing it. Thanks (23 years ago, 1-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Hi-res sphere?
 
(...) Sorry about the delayed response, but I was on vacation. I'll take a look at my sphere generation code as well and at the very least determine the difficulty of adding type 5 lines.

  Re: Two questions on primitives
 
(...) One other thing,[1] the primitives which are most commonly used with the INVERTNEXT flag/statement are the *-*cyli.dat files. All of these files (the regular cylinder primitives) have BFC'ed versions posted on the Parts Tracker. -- Steve 1) (...)

  Re: Online Mac instructions.
 
(...) I would strongly suspect that the ANSI C functions that you are calling are internally using the Mac (HFS) File System. I don't see how it could do otherwise. The library functions may be doing a crafty dance to accomplish certain things, but (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

  Re: Online Mac instructions.
 
What is the problem with case exactly on macLDGLite? The linux parts distribution has different case directory names and ldglite has a problem with that? Is it just the directory names that are trouble? LDRAW has the same notion of case as DOS, (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Online Mac instructions.
 
As case sensitivity, I haven't changed the actual parser code, so if the directory names are in upper case then it should work. However I must confess I haven't tried using the linux ldraw primitives, so to redress this, I have just downloaded the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Online Mac instructions.
 
(...) From my experience, I think thats correct. Whatever case you create something as is the actual case that it is stored as. But, the ability to open a file is 'case insensitive'. Therefore, while it does preserve case when creating a file, you (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Online Mac instructions.
 
(...) I have to admit, I'm stumped on this one. According to several sources on the internet, the Mac HFS filesystem is case preserving for writing, but case insensitive for lookups. And since the OS 8-9 ldglite code seems to be using stricmp for (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Two questions on primitives
 
(...) You've got it. When existing part files are made BFC-compliant, they have to be checked through completely. The main changes are fixing polygon wrapping and adding INVERTNEXT statements. Until a file is labeled BFC-compliant, renderers (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dev)
