  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) Though the color problem has been solved I'm still in favour for the switch for the simply fact that LDView is maintained and updated (and LDView's outputs look much smarter ;-) but it's up to Travis to take the decision - since he has to code (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Great! Thanks, Steve!!! Philo (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) Well, to be perfectly honest, while I'm pretty confident that LDView can be gotten to work relatively easily (via xvfb) on the LDraw server, I'm not sure whether its performance will be "acceptable". So I think it's only fair to keep the (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Introducing Lic - Lego Instruction Creator (pre-alpha)
 
(...) Hi Remi, Maybe you didn't know but I am working on a WYSIWYG version of LPub, where there is no manual editing of the LDraw file. So far, almost everything has GUI point and click kind of interface with support for multiple steps per page, and (...) (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) Hmm. I should put my color patch .DAT file on the server somewhere... (...) That could be changed. But I think most people who profess a preference prefer the black edges, rather than colored edges. We could soften the black edges to a (...) (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes, but wouldn't that be subverting Willy's diabolical plan to render everything with ldview? ;^) Don (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) I don't have a test case for all the colors, but the ones I did try look ok now. (...) It all looks odd to me with the black edge lines on all the bricks. Good for printed instructions, but not as pretty on screen. Oh well. I suppose it (...) (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) I could probably whip up a program that does the conversion fairly quickly (hour or two of work?) if you're interested. I have the advantage that I already have a full parser for ldconfig.ldr. Spitting out the ldliterc.dat file should be (...) (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) Yeah we experimented with xvfb many years ago. (URL) was some weirdness with the aspect ratio that was probably caused by a bug in ldglite at the time. And there were some questions about large image sizes, but it should be a viable solution (...) (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) "Program"? I wish. It was a manual conversion, not all of the entries are amenable to programmatic conversion. (...) Doh! It should be fixed now, take a look. No wonder the orange switch on the PF box looked so odd... Steve (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
