  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) Hmmm, tell me more about this. Do you mean the studs are fully drawn if the file MYBRICK.DAT includes STUD.DAT, but not if it includes stud.dat? Is there any other unusual behavior triggered by case inside the DAT files? Does someone have (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) *chromed* element. We don't have a number for the non-chromed version (like the various trans-crystals which appear in Rock Raiders. Steve (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) I meant exactly CASE-SENSITIVE. and by case-sensitive I mean "model.dat" is different from "Model.dat". And why can't we choose between ? It's a lot easyer to convert from a case-sensitive complient filename to case-INsensitive than the other (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
Rui: (...) ^^^...^^^ I presume you mean "mixed case". We can't choose between case-sensitive and case-insensitive. (...) I am not sure of that. There are many good reasons for working with case-insensitive file systems. (...) I don't get your point (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) What I meant was this: normally ledit shoes studs as lines, right. Several files were changed to uppercase so that ledit would not do the substitution and show the studs. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) So this is not a problem, just change the primitive file "stud.dat" to "stud.DAT" (according to what I have previously proposed), and if the user wants (or not) to draw the studs, he will change the "line for stud" option of Ledit. P.S. Just (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) This is a special LEdit feature, not related to DOS at all. If the STUD.DAT filename is uppercase, it is always displayed like a full stud in LEdit, even if the user chooses to have "line for stud" to save rendering time. Fredrik (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) Are you sure that was the problem, because Ledit runs on DOS, which doesn't care on filename case, it's case-insensitive, so it should always work in DOS. Rui Martins (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) There is one problem. several files were "corrected" to have the stud.dat references uppercased so that ledit would show the studs. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) Why don't we just define filenames are case-sensitive, and allow for an option to treat them differently (case-insensitive) if someone requires it ? we should look in to the future, every OS will tend to be case-sensitive, windows hasn't made (...)

  Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done)
 
(...) Sure, no problem. I prefer to inline and find the true coordinates of the polygons in the primitives, though. There may be some small rounding errors both in your sine calculations and in LEdit's, and if they don't match, you'll get small (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  RE: OMR Filenaming Standard Change?
 
Hi, (...) I agreee. (...) Maybe I don't remember correctly, but until now I assumed that the term 'alternate model' refers to those models in the instruction booklet that can be built from the same set of parts.

  Re: 2951 (not quite finished)
 
(...) The primitive .dat files invert the colour internally, so if you code 1 16 ..... it ends up correct. If you code 1 24 .... you end up inverting the inverse colour which is not correct. Chris (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Using parts in p\48\ (was: part 2951, more questions, nearly done)
 
(...) I think what Steve Bliss meant was to use inlining as a tool _only_ to find out where to put the polygon spanning the final 7° of the curve. You only need to temporarily inline the last curve segment and check the coordinates of the polygon on (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Uhhh I see:) Well that explains my problems then. (...) Hmm Why to the segment? Or is the vague idea I have about inlining completely wrong? I think of it as a tool to put an unofficial primitive into the part file, e.g. by replacing a type 1 (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
