 | | PreL3P 1.0 —Jim DeVona
|
| | | PreL3P is a console tool that converts LDraw color codes unrecognized by L3P to hexadecimal "extended color" specifications. It reads "!COLOUR" meta commands from ldconfig.ldr to determine the color of any given code. For more details, an example, (...) (17 years ago, 7-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad) !

| | | | | It would be interesting to be able to have a secondary remap file other than LDraw.ldr. For example, stone colors are not well supported by several programs other than L3P.
