(...) Hey, txt2dat is cool! It looks like it should build on the Mac, too, so I'm puttering with rewriting the Makefile to make that happen. (The triangle library builds fine with the -DLINUX switch turned off.) It's part of my new crusade to get (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Sure, but as I said, you can't be 100% certain that the contents of the standard LDraw directory are all official and vice versa, so the best way to manage them (in my opinion) is lump them all together, and have a program that helps you (...)

(...) The only character either Linux or Mac OS X is allergic to is '/'. Spaces are perfectly acceptable under both. One need only take care that any paths fed to the shell are properly escaped. Ideally anybody writing shell scripts or system() (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

It's me the user that wants to know which unofficial parts I've downloaded and am using, and thus which may require updating, deleting, or something. For me it is purely a user-management issue. My program doesn't really care if a part is Official (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) With tongue slightly in cheek, I believe it is time to accept the technological advancements of 1984. If DOS wasn't obsolete the day it was written, it definitely was within a few years. DOS filenames tend to be inscrutable, and there just (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) Another excellent idea. You'll have the option to use the paper color for transparent pixels, and then you can set the paper color to anything you want (including 16). I'm tempted to throw it in right now, but I've actually just started (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

You might consider adding an option to use color 16 (or perhaps the "paper" color) for fully transparent pixels in uploaded PNG files. --Travis (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) No sooner said than done! Thank you for the suggestion. I figured it would be good to wind the polygons consistently but I didn't think to declare it with BFC. Doing so is clearly beneficial. Jim (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

You might want to add the following two lines to the tops of your generated files: 0 UNOFFICIAL PART 0 BFC CERTIFY CW Adding the above two lines will enable BFC processing. The first line is needed because most models don't contain a 0 BFC CERTIFY (...) (18 years ago, 1-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
