    Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Philippe Hurbain
   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. If I want to build with these colors I generally use old greys, but it would (...) (17 years ago, 9-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Tore Eriksson
     (...) You can always make your own "include file" with colour redifinitions in a .dat, like this experimental file I made some time ago. It redifines pink into medium blue and corrects the horrible L3 light green: To use it, all you have to do is (...) (17 years ago, 9-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Jim DeVona
   (...) With a customized ldconfig file, you can use PreL3P to convert color codes directly to the hexadecimal equivalents of other other colors. For example, here are the default gray definitions: 0 !COLOUR Gray CODE 7 VALUE #C1C2C1 EDGE 0 0 !COLOUR (...) (17 years ago, 9-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) You're fast! :) If my memory serves my well, I think my ldfilter utility did that - even though it wasn't its main purpose. Check out the "Color Filter" frame. (URL) (17 years ago, 9-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) too, like LDS and LDA. Anyway, does the new "prel3p model.ldr" syntax work with the drag and drop mechanism you mentioned? Jim (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Tore Eriksson
     (...) I'm glad to hear that. Please note that I cannot update my Swipnet pages after changing ISP to Telia. The swipnet provider is kind enough to let my pages remain as long as I use their mail services which I prefer to. My more recent projects as (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Tore Eriksson
      (...) Just a little thing I've noticed on the previously discussed long filenames issue. (Not that it really matters to me.) The original version of colortest.ldr was saved as COLORT~1.LDR.bak on my Win98SE PC, while the long name colortest.ldr was (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Jim DeVona
     (...) True. You can still give options with this syntax ("prel3p +codes 4 model.ldr"), but I suspect there is no way to do so when using it by drag and drop. (...) If it could use a configuration file, what would be a standard place to look for it? (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Tore Eriksson
     (...) No, but I can easily add some PreL3P options, just like I've added L3P options, in my LDA program. In that case, the command line options are better than the .ini way. (...)

         Re: PreL3P 1.0 —Jim DeVona
     (...) Well, I lied. I've implemented the meta commands instead of an INI file after all. I've also added a -map option to renumber color codes. This can be done separately or in conjunction with conversion to the hexadecimal color format. The (...) (17 years ago, 12-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

     (...) PreL3P 1.2 is now available: (URL) added "-map" option to renumber color codes - added meta commands to specify options in config files or the model itself As always, bug reports are welcome (as are suggestions for a more accurate name, (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

         Re: PreL3P 1.2 —Jim DeVona
      (...) Jaco's (URL) question> about color scaling gave me the idea for this. By allowing meta commands anywhere in the model to be applied as it is processed, different color substitution schemes can be used for different parts of the model. So, if (...)

   (...) That was exactly my point - perfect! (...) Probably outside prel3p scope indeed. Both LDDP and MLCad can change colors, but not if they are inside subfiles. To me the modified ldconfig is a good solution. Philo (17 years ago, 10-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
