  Re: Color Names
 
(...) That sorta gets tricky marketing-wise. If you have a color called "Red", then change it just slightly, forever-after calling it "Apple Red", I'd think newcomers would start to be confused. IE "What's this stone color? Is it grey? I want grey (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)
 
  Re: Questions On ldconfig.ldr (Was: colours.txt -> LDraw-org Official Part Updates!)
 
(...) Well the spec is changing so these commands will go away. We (the LSC) are working to get the spec for the color definitions (the !COLOR Meta coomand) finalize by the next parts release. (...) LDView currently uses this file and once we (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Questions On ldconfig.ldr (Was: colours.txt -> LDraw-org Official Part Updates!)
 
(...) Oh boy, I've never noticed that one! Must be because of its misleading name and extension. So, what does the A, DR, DG, DB, DA columns stand for? (A is always = 255, so one can wonder what good it does.) It should benifit from some more (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  colours.txt -> LDraw-org Official Part Updates!
 
(...) Sorry, I just can't find it. Could you give me a direct link? Thanks, /Tore (btw, the file colours.txt is very close to what I have in mind, only that what I think of should not be limited to 80 colours, it should be stored in the LDraw (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Color Names
 
(...) I don't think I follow your point. LDraw/Peeron are (almost) synchronized in terms of parts. They're somewhat synchronized on colors and try to be. Bricklink uses (from my point of view) incompatible part names and incompatible color names. If (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)
 
  Re: New Mini Moc: Proton

  Re: License Intent
 
(...) Actually I beliee that this is the exact case where the LGPL differes from the GPL.

  Re: License Intent

  Re: New Mini Moc: Proton
 
(...) These are wonderful. They all are unique and very plausible, yet share a common look that ties them all together. And as said, your renders are pure art. Great stuff. -Gil (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: New Mini Moc: Proton
 
(...) Very cool stuff. The Shadow was my favourite. Any chance you could upload the CAD files to brickshelf as well. I wouldn't mind building one or two of your models. Beautiful renders btw. Allister (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, FTX)

Thank you, Don. I am currently investigating the possibilities and limitations of the resources you mention. Hopefully, in a couple of days, I will return with my comments and maybe also some suggestions. /Tore (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad)

  Leaving Brand Retail

  Re: New Mini Moc: Proton
 
Hi Miklos, This is a nice fleet you have! Some of the designs give a feel of "real thing" (the drop ship especially). So, you don't like minifigs, hmmmm? ;-) Cheers, JP. (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, FTX)
