  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) I'd think twice about making all part images transparent. Especially patterned parts don't really work, look at the images for these pics (URL) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: New colours in Ldraw?
 
(...) Knight Bus, mini Knight Bus, and any set featuring Sir Danju. Looking at Peeron inventories, I see the same color listed as (URL), (URL) Purple>, and (URL) Violet>, while Bricklink seems to exclusively list it as (URL) Dark Purple>. It's (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: New colours in Ldraw?
 
(...) I believe that is the color from the Harry Potter Knight Bus, color number 89 on Bricklink, and Lilac on Peeron. I also have it listed on my Color Tree Roots Page: (URL) were some quality control issues with this color, so the actual shade (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
Note that I'm sending followups to lugnet.cad.dev. (...) All I did was create an HTML document real quick and looked at it in Firefox. The following is the content of that document: <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FF0000"> <IMG (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) Eeek. I was just wondering about that. Do you have a link, or a quick html snippit. Is there a different opengl alpha blend fn that I should perhaps be using? I guess I'd better read up after all, opengl, and png. (...) Yeah. (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) That would change things. (...) That color is used when you display it in a program that doesn't have any better color to use. In other words, if the image isn't put over some kind of background, the color in the image is used. (...) that the (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) Heh, maybe in ldview, but not in ldglite. You give me too much credit. I don't do real transparency for transparent parts. It's all dithered. And the only values I output to the alpha channel are fully transparent (with the png background (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) That's an interesting point. We generate all images at a 3x zoom (3x of the final target render scale) (with fat lines), then use ImageMagick to reduce the image to 'normal'. So the transparency of transparent parts will depend on how (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: ptreleases.cgi - Ready to Roll?
 
(...) It works for me, and I don't remember anyone saying they're using the old one (other than myself), so I say go for it and make it official. This will kill that functionality in the private LDView 3 Alpha that a few people have, but that (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) One thing to remember is that the background color almost certainly still matters for transparent parts, because they'll be blended with it, even if they are partially transparent in the PNG file. So be sure to choose a background color that (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) Oh oh, does it still work? I remember I compiled it out at one point to save memory when I discovered IE didn't support transparent pngs. This is way back when I built the DOS version of ldglite, so maybe I put it back in since then. Don (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) Doh! Thanks for mentioning this. We've been wanting to make transparent LDraw part images (for use by Peeron, et al). And it's been there, all along. Double-Doh! It's a nice, simple command-line option, too. :) The parts images are being (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  ptreleases.cgi - Ready to Roll?
 
A couple of months ago, there were a number of changes implemented for the ptreleases.cgi script, but they were never confirmed and put in place as the final version. The latest cgi is available at (URL). To see a list of all the options, try (URL). (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: New colours in Ldraw?
 
(...) How about dark-purple? I was looking for that a while back and I ended up having to match it by hand. I used R119/G34/B119, but I'm not sure how to translate that into numbers like Bernd posted. I can also guarantee that those numbers don't (...) (20 years ago, 7-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LPub mask generation
 
(...) I remembered that the issue we ran across at BrickFest was a simple one, but I couldn't remember the specifics. The fix is a two character fix. I forgot to put a semicolon after AMB and DIFF in the POV-File. Right now I'm running through your (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub (and maybe ldview?
 
(...) Well, according to the readme.txt it takes a -cg and ca like L3p and can generate transparent png files (works in mozilla, but not ie): (URL) there may be some issues. A long time ago I set out to make ldglite useful as a quick and dirty scene (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LDGlite and LPub
 
Hi Don, Orion and I have been kicking around the idea of LDGlite as a renderer for LPub. We are under the impression that LDGlite takes the same command line options as L3P. Is this true? If so, it would be wonderful. Primarily LPub needs the -cg (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: MLCad feature request
