I was saying that to build the MPD file correctly (that is, so it
contains just the model file(s) and the unofficial part file(s)), you
have to know which parts are unofficial.
So if I made a model using unofficial parts X, Y, and Z (and no other
unofficial parts), then I'd want to make sure my MPD included the X.dat,
Y.dat and Z.dat files. If I made a different model, and I wasn't sure
of what parts were unofficial in that model, I couldn't build an
"unofficial-proof" MPD out of it.
Oh, and I was also wondering if Empeedy (a Windows-based MPD-builder
program) had the ability to automatically embed unofficial parts when
building an MPD.
I hope this post makes more sense than the last one...
