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 Dark_Gray CODE 8 VALUE #635F52 EDGE 0
0 !COLOUR Stone_Gray CODE 71 VALUE #A3A2A4 EDGE 0
0 !COLOUR Dark_Stone_Gray CODE 72 VALUE #635F61 EDGE 0
If you want to render the original grays as the new grays, you can combine them
like this:
0 !COLOUR Gray CODE 7 VALUE #A3A2A4 EDGE 0
0 !COLOUR Dark_Gray CODE 8 VALUE #635F61 EDGE 0
With PreL3P 1.1, you can use multiple ldconfigs. So if you save the two lines
above as graymap.ldr, you can override the default 7 and 8 codes but use all the
others normally like this:
prel3p -ldconfig $LDRAWDIR/ldconfig.ldr -ldconfig graymap.ldr
I agree that a tool to map LDraw color codes to other regular color codes would
be useful, but I haven't decided whether that would be outside the scope of
PreL3P. (Can you do it with LDDP or MLCAD?) It could be controlled with
unofficial ldconfig meta commands and/or command line options:
0 !PREL3P MAP 7 71
-map 7,71
What do you think?

| (...) 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)

| (...) 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)
