  LPub 2.4.5.0 available
 
LPub 2.4.5.0 is available: Fixes: Overwriting of LPub\LDraw files now happens without warning. Syntax parsing problems on POINTERS now fixed. Pointers and multiple instances of callouts in nested callouts now works. LPUB MULTI_STEP SEPARATOR 0 0 now (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
 
(...) Hmm, How many poly's in that model? and what game is it a mod for? Balancing poly budgets in games is a non-trivial problem, how you do it is very dependant on the game, how many instances of a model is the game expected to render at once? how (...)

  Re: LPub 2.4 available
 
Thank you! :-) (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
 
(...) One way to do this would be project rays through a model, selecting rays with random angles. Keep track of which polygons in the model initially (and finally) intersect the ray -- these polygons are visible. Repeat this process for enough (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
 
(...) IIRC someone did do a mod to Simcity that turned the buildings into LEGO ones. I remember that simcity came with its own building designer, but IIRC these were somehow imported from LDraw.

  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
 
(...) I hadn't thought of that. So the studs don't quite exist, the game engine just knows where to draw them, right? Indeed, the studs don't seem to cast shadows, though they are shaded. -Stefan- (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Seemingly insane poly counts in official games - how?
 
(...) Well, you're partially right, but the amount of polys per model would still be ridicilous (sp?) due to the tubes and studs still existent on the top and bottom. (URL) (...) That is an interesting idea. For BrickSpace, the game mod I'm making, (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LPub request
 
(...) I fixed this one thanks. You should know that this may not have the effect you want. The web pages are *always* created in LPub/HTML directory. So with the URL set as you describe, the pages will not be viewable on your computer unless you (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

--SNIP-- (...) Hi Kevin, Thanks for the help. I'll let you know if there is any problem with this technique. On a different note, I just remembered a bug I've seen lately. The HTML directory settings seems to be mis-reading from the config file as (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LPub request
 
(...) Hi Tim, The only issue I know about with this is when LPub is unpacking an MPD file into the LDraw directory, and the process blows up in the middle. Next time you try to work with the MPD, you get an error about overwriting the files. This (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

  LPub request
 
Hi Kevin, Can I make a little request for any new version of LPub which should be easy to implement and add lots to the usability to LPub? Basically, I would like an option in the Utilities menu to wipe the ldraw file directory. The reason I ask for (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

  Re: Coolest Brickshelf account

What if there was a BS folder that contained rendered CGIs of every LEGO set, all in one place, all with .mpd files, all previewable as Koyan has presented them, in sequential order-- you can't see any value in that?

  Re: Coolest Brickshelf account
 
(...) This brickshelf account doesn't contain any pictures of original MOCs... what's the attraction in looking at a bunch of pictures of official sets we've seen many times already? Render fetishism? Seems like a waste of time to me. Cheers, Paul (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.space, FTX)
