  Re: Parts requests? (re: x136 and 50944px1)
 
(...) Fantastic, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you... Hopefully Peeron will update their databases. (...) Any plans to complete the wheel? Cheers, Ryan (17 years ago, 26-Jan-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: Parts requests? (re: x136 and 50944px1)
 
(...) part x136 has a different number 32294 on the PT. You are right, I did make the wheel for 50944px1, but did not start to model 50944px1. cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 26-Jan-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Parts requests? (re: x136 and 50944px1)
 
Hello, Just wondering what the protocol is for "requesting" LDraw parts... I've found two bits of particular interest to my projects that don't show in the Parts Tracker: x136 : profiled offset suspension wishbone used in the big Technic F1 cars (...)

  Re: PreL3P 1.3 -help :)
 
(...) Ah, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was not aware of the difference. My addition currently understands multiple arguments with this syntax: prel3p 1.ldr 2.ldr 3.ldr Each ldr file is processed in place and the originals are copied (...)

  Re: Thoughts sought on final newlines
 
(...) FWIW I'm pretty sure ldglite saves with a newline (of some sort) after every line. And my opinion is that all programs that *create* ldraw data should do that. It's just common courtesy. After all, we have no control over third party (...) (17 years ago, 20-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Thoughts sought on final newlines
 
(...) I echo Mike. This is a programmers issue (is it honestly that hard to check? I would say no) and not something that should be put into the spec. -Orion (17 years ago, 20-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Thoughts sought on final newlines
 
(...) I agree fully on this. A text line is not complete until you have specified the end of it (with EOLN). A LDRAW model consists of text lines, and should IMO end with EOLN. Windows expects 'text' files to end with EOLN, and mistreats them if (...) (17 years ago, 20-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Thoughts sought on final newlines
 
(...) We had a discussion about this item some times ago. I can not find the thread right now. The conclusion was: The user should not mind about that, the programer should. So if you write a prog for LDraw compatible files, you should check for (...) (17 years ago, 20-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Thoughts sought on final newlines
 
A (URL) recent discussion> lead me to observe that Bricksmith saves models without a final newline (ie, CRLF - no "line ending"): (...) Since one line that ended differently from others lead to complications here, I wondered if it might elsewhere. I (...) (17 years ago, 19-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Introducing SR 3D Builder - a LDraw editor by Sergio Reano
 
(...) I didn't have any problems with weird folders in documents and settings you just unzip the files wherever you want and it will setup itself (which you can unzip to a new folder under Program Files.) The only issue I have (which is an issue (...) (17 years ago, 6-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Introducing SR 3D Builder - a LDraw editor by Sergio Reano

  Re: Introducing Lic - Lego Instruction Creator (pre-alpha)
 
(...) Hi Remi, I got your email today. I don't know why I didn't notice or respond to the previous emails. WYSIWIG LPub (4.0) is moderatly far along. I started on it shortly after returning from Brickfest PDX in Portland. You use the GUI to get the (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: Introducing Lic - Lego Instruction Creator (pre-alpha)
 
(...) Hi Kevin, I was hoping to hear from you! Yep, I knew you were working on a WYSIWYG LPub - you've mentioned the idea here in the past. I just had no idea how far along you were, or if you had even started. I tried contacting you a handful of (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: Introducing Lic - Lego Instruction Creator (pre-alpha)
 
(...) Hi Remi, Maybe you didn't know but I am working on a WYSIWYG version of LPub, where there is no manual editing of the LDraw file. So far, almost everything has GUI point and click kind of interface with support for multiple steps per page, and (...) (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

  Re: Introducing Lic - Lego Instruction Creator (pre-alpha)
 
(...) Yes, it is very cool. Especially so since it (almost) works on Mac OS X - and we don't have LPub. There were indeed a lot of prerequisites (and pre-prerequisites!), but I think I've managed to build them all, and Lic launches! Hurray for (...)

  Wanted: LDMerge beta testers
 
Thanks to an inquiry from Michael Heidemann, I've written a little utility called LDMerge. I'd like to have one or two other people test it before it is released just to confirm that it works as intended. LDMerge is a console tool for temporarily (...)

  Re: Bug in current version of LDList

  Re: Bug in current version of LDList
 
(...) Not sure if themes have to be enabled or not. However, it looks like the setting is bit 3 in a registry key. See here: (URL) that the value appears to be stored in little endian binary, instead of a DWORD, so be careful if you're modifying the (...) (17 years ago, 24-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Bug in current version of LDList

  Re: Bug in current version of LDList
 
(...) If it doesn't happen to you, it's obviously kind of hard (read: well-nigh impossible) to fix. Having said that, as far as I know, the setting is enabled by default (at least in Windows XP). I know exactly how to enable and disable it with (...) (17 years ago, 24-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Portable MPD Submodel Names
 
(...) Actually, I think you are correct. It makes sense from that perspective. The line type 1 naming rules apply to anything referenced by a type 1 line, including submodels. Thanks, Mike! Jim (17 years ago, 23-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Portable MPD Submodel Names
 
I think the answer is very easy. Linetype 1 is for referencing to an existing LDraw file, doesn't matter which type (part, subpart, primitive etc.) So it is not necessary to describe that in the MPD Language Extension. The MPD Language Extension is (...) (17 years ago, 22-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Bug in current version of LDList

It may be a bug in the MS List Box control when owner-draw is enabled; I don't know if the Delphi classes use (...) (17 years ago, 23-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Bug in current version of LDList
 
(...) It affects a fair few other programs (the wonderful Inno setup and various parts of windows itself) so is not LDList specific. IIRC, there was a code workaround that was applied in Inno but you'd need to check the newsgroup history. (17 years ago, 22-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Bug in current version of LDList
