  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) You're right, but Jacob invented the MPD, so I guess I just followed his wish, though I would have preferred the scoping. Also he suggests a way to get scoping anyway: "0 FILE house1/house1.dat" which nicely reflects the storage on the disk. (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) Wow, that's impressive. I'm pretty sure it's accidental, too. (Accidental on my part; your L3P parser was obviously there first.) (...) LDView only has one file open at a time also (unless I'm mis-remembering my implementation), since the (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) You're welcome. (...) I think local scope is the "correct" thing to do as long as local scope means that only files inside an MPD file can access other files inside the MDP file. Files stored external to the MPD shouldn't, in theory, be able (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) I actually consider that to be two-pass, and that's essentially what LDView does. The only extra thing it does is that it checks for 0 PART meta-commands in the first pass, and puts the file data for the sub-files into their own separate (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) Well, if you read all postings on MPD through the last seven years you should be able to piece the correct answer together :-) I believe the L3 parser (used in L3P, L3Lab and "ldglite -l3") reflects that information. > However, I can tell (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) Sorry, you're right every part in the mpd should see any of the other parts. May be Ldraw.org should post a set of 'testcase' files to be used as a reference for programmers. For each file there should be a description of the expected results (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) Is that what I said? I didn't mean to... If an MPD contains main.dat, a.dat, and b.dat, then a.dat should be able to 'see' b.dat. I make heavy use of the MPD format while working on part files. Inside a single MPD, I typically have long chains (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) You can do it in one pass (if you don't count the loading of the file to a stringlist). Wile walking through the file you build you're objectlist with subparts. Afterwards you go recursively through the list of subparts. This way all mpd (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: MPD file loading search order
 
(...) Snip, very thourho explanation, thanks! (...) I was thinking of doing the local scope approach mentioned by Steve. But maybe I keep it optional realizing I always end up disappointing some people with ether approach. I was planning to create (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
