  Childhood Dreams Come True...Classic Space Homeworld Mod
 
I'm sure most of you swooshed your ships all over the house, and imagined them dodging through space, adventures aplenty. Well now, they really can have those adventures.

Mr. Haan, Can you please contact the LDraw Help Desk or me direclty because a link we have in one of our tutorials to your Ultra Realistic POV Code no longer works. This one: (URL) addition I can [NOT] get to the main site so I'm not sure where to (...) (20 years ago, 3-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Trouble creating building instructions using lpub and mpd file
 
(...) That will be so nice. Thank you! That one caught me again just this afternoon. And I know better. However, I just forgot at one point, added a space to a file name and.... well you know the rest. :) Anyway, glad to hear it's fixable. Best (...) (20 years ago, 3-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Novice user in need of help for custom parts
 
Hello everyone - I am a novice LDraw user who desperately need some parts to be made. I have some experience in parts authoring but would like to receive some help firsthand: Could a established part author please advise me when the following parts (...)

  Trouble creating building instructions using lpub and mpd file
 
Hi all...I just found out about MLCAD/Ldraw/Lpub last week, and I've been trying to figure out all the programs. I was able to create an .mpd of an archway with a clocktower above it. It seems to work fine in MLCAD, but when I try to build (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: MLCAD 'FIND' function
 
(...) If you know the LDraw part number, you can do a text search for the part but that doesn't necessarily help you in the context of finding it in your model. I have used that to change colors of certain parts and things like that. (...) I think (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  MLCAD 'FIND' function
 
Hi Michael, I'm working on a 'large' building with over 4000 pieces. Now i would like to find a single piece in my drawing, and looked for a 'Find' function. There seems to be no 'Find' function available in MLCAD V3.11. Is there a possibility to (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: Borland/delphi question
 
(...) Have you tried doing a mainform->restore() (or whatever the Delphi version is) before closing the child? It is likely the user won't mind the window re-appearing when some long processing is finished. If you're worried about that, you could (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Borland/delphi question
 
(...) You could try setting another parent for the CancelForm, maybe zero for the DeskTop? Maybe there is some problem when you try to close a child of a minimized form? (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Borland/delphi question
 
Well, once again I've hit my limit.... I use a custom form for LPub's main form. I also use a simple custom form for the Cancel window that contains two buttons. When LPub is processing something that takes a long time, it does CanceForm->Show(). (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Some comments on the LPub 2.2.0.9 beta
 
(...) <snip> (...) In adding the code to stop pov-ray from popping up and down when LPub is not active, I found a case where the Cancel button does not make the popup dialog go away. If LPub completes processing all files while minimized, the dialog (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Type 5 lines, BFC relevance, and OpenGL
 
(...) Well, I tried this in LDView, and it seems to work fine. I haven't yet put the new stuff in a display list, so it's drawing all the type 5 line geometry in immediate mode. Consequently, I'm not yet sure how fast it will be (it's very similar (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: Type 5 lines, BFC relevance, and OpenGL
 
(...) I think, that in this particular application it is better to deal with line type 5 syntax. Otherwise renderer has to calculate angle between adjanced polygons and select some threshold to decide whether this line is "conditional" or not. (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Type 5 lines, BFC relevance, and OpenGL
 
(...) Interesting... so this article is suggesting that type5 lines not be used at all, which may be possible for a model that is certain to be BFC compliant. Wheras the mechanism I was suggesting would work for any model, BFC compliant or not. The (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Type 5 lines, BFC relevance, and OpenGL
 
(...) You know, this got me thinking last night. I knew it sounded vaguely familiar, so I searched lugnet for "stencil buffer" and found this. (URL) I was so close, but somehow got distracted before I could work it out. Damn that attention deficit (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Type 5 lines, BFC relevance, and OpenGL
 
Hmmm, draw the edge twice and flip the stencil bit eh? It sounds like it could work. I'll have to read up on edge flags. I haven't used them for anything yet. By the way, you should be able to get all the info you need from the type 5 line itself, (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Thank you all! I'll try to inform you of the things I am allowed to tell. Hope to give you some great models in return. Take care and keep on building! Nate (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad, lugnet.general, lugnet.people, FTX)
 
  Re: Mock-up: 45301.dat - Wedge 4x16 Curved Triple
 
(...) Thanks a lot: It's good enough for my current needs. But the little thing at the point is basicly a 1x2 plate, and the back end is hollow like a 4857 without hinge. -NB (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
