Greetings everyone, I am a newbie to this mailing list, but I have been using LDraw-oriented software for close to a decade now. I am currently developing (and have been, in my spare time for several years) a sandbox-style building game called (...) (14 years ago, 4-Apr-11, to lugnet.cad.dev.lcd)

(...) Actually, I'm not hammering away at it. I put the support in back in May of 2008, but I haven't really done much with it since then. --Travis (14 years ago, 1-Apr-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I've been thinking about this a bit more. I wonder how you would accomplish this using an arbitrary data source and without having your own physical server. All the software I've looked at so far connect to existing GIS databases based on the (...) (14 years ago, 1-Apr-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Wow, I must be getting really old. The deja-vu didn't didn't set in until I slept on it. I can't hardly believe this was 8 years ago. (URL) at that point ldglite already had experimental support for the similar gleps code that seems to have (...) (14 years ago, 1-Apr-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) LDView actually has experimental support for this built-in (although it has to be manually enabled via either a command line switch or a registry setting). Unfortunately, it's effectively useless on anything other than individual parts due to (...) (14 years ago, 1-Apr-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Is it possible to create a SVG version of a rendering of an LDRaw model? I am only interested in the visible portion, such as what you see from one of the several default views (front, left, back, etc.). -Mike (14 years ago, 31-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'll keep it in mind. (...) My development code has a new feature that will be in LDView 4.2 called "Keep Right Side Up". When in fly-through mode, if you enable this feature, the camera isn't allowed to roll side to side at all. However, it (...) (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I found the sources, and did a quick fix (no hardcoded files anymore). It still only generates a BlockCAD .LGO file but that is easily translated to LDRAW with BlockCAD. (URL) no part optimizing - the whole landscape is built with 1x1 bricks (...) (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I think it was just a silly question, sorry. I meant somewhere in between the 3-D globe and 2-D map... but you can't really apply a square map to a round globe without squishing things. :) -Mike (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Some more requests while I'm at it. You currently have a camera mode that limits the "Examine mode" to exactly horizontal and vertical movement. If you could do something similar for the "Fly-through mode", such that regardless of where the (...) (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It could be nice if the tool switched between polygons and studs depending on the slope of the terrain. I like how some of the molded TLG baseplates aren't entirely covered by studs and have some empty spaces. -Mike (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)
