 | | New Part: Tile 2 x 2 with Pirate Map Pattern [DAT]
|
|
Here's another piece from the Pirates line not yet in LDraw. Let me know what you think. I'm not sure about the color of the water; In MLCad, the light blue seems to dark, but the cyan seems too, well, cyan. Andy 0 Tile 2 x 2 with Pirate Map Pattern (...)

(...) Hmmm, you mean you already made this part? I searched the newsgroup and the parts tracker before starting this, but didn't see it. You're right about the colors, it should be hardcoded blue. Andy (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Inlining is replacing a reference to a subfile with the code from that file. So if I had a part file, which had the line: 1 1 10 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stud.dat and I "inlined" the stud.dat, my one line would be replaced with: 1 1 10 0 0 6 0 0 (...)

(...) Huh? It is? Where? I know there's some writeup about dithered colors, but I believe Damien is thinking of the 'extended colors', the color codes between 17 and 26 (excluding 24) that are defined in the LDraw.org color reference. The extended (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Question 27 in Ldraw FAQ gives color codes but not restrictions in use. Where is reference info for color use in parts/subparts? This info should be included in ldraw specification and reviewer materials. Thanks, Damien (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Why not 8 subparts? There are 8 symmetric sections in this part.

(...) Right, but what I want to say is that if the filesize is to big the file needs a lot of time to render. When this is splitted into subfiles the renderer only needs to read smaller subfile. This saves rendertime. Bernd (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) In general it's the symmetry, the file size or many repeating items of the part that makes sence to use subparts. In your case you can split it into 4 subparts, each one quarter of the file. So you could save filesize. e.g. only one track-end (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
