  Re: Help for povray needed!
 
In lugnet.cad.dev, Steve Bliss writes: <SNIP> Thank you steve! Over the week-end I had more time, and found exactly the same way, just in C++. But (how should it be different) there is another problem ... This works fine for pov-ray, with L3P this (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Hunt for missing primitives
 
Imre, If I remember correctly, the 'BOX4_1.DAT' errors were noticed very shortly after the 98-07 update was released, and Terry replaced that update with a fixed version.

  Re: ldglite is now homeless
 
(...) I moved my pages from Geocities a long time ago but I kept some files there to redirect users to my new page and to be a mirror site. And CVS is only good if you have more people helping you, to me it didn't help much. :) Leonardo (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Hunt for missing primitives
 
Hi all, Reviewing the new parts of the Vote 2000-1 I noticed that some primitives are missing from my machine. e.g. 'box4-1.dat' I reinstalled 'ldraw.exe' and all James' and Terry's updates, but this primitive wasn't there. However, 'lcad9807.exe' (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: ldglite is now homeless
 
(...) I already replied with an apology, but I think I'm going to give the sourceforge a try. I think CVS will help me organize things a bit. Plus I had plenty of problems connecting to geocities when I wanted to update the site there. Don (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: ldglite is now homeless
 
(...) I was thinking the same thing. I already registered the project there and am currently waiting for the project to be approved. I can't wait to get access to the CVS. That's gonna make things soo much simpler. Don (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Help for povray needed!

  (Some) Parts which are in the update-pipeline
 
As requested, here is a list of part-files which are in the queue for the 2000-02 update. These are files which were intended for 2000-01, but I either didn't have a chance to review them, or there was some hold-up in the process. Files which were (...)

  Re: Comments on parts up for vote- Pt 1
 
(...) No, it's a good thing to have a program to identify these things. Even though edges-only primitives can't be BFC'ed, I'm guessing there could be other advantages to avoiding singular matrices, and few disadvantages. Steve (24 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Some Words To BFC
 
(...) OK, that sounds reasonable -- it's something that a clean-up program could look for, even though it's not practical for a rendering program to do the same. Steve (24 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: BFC: LITS 2
 
(...) Whew! Only one of those files is mine! :\ (...) True. (...) I don't think that's necessary. If a subfile is not certified, then the renderer will not apply BFC processing to the subfile. Besides, if having all subfiles certified was a (...) (24 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Syntax error in official part 754.dat?
 
(...) There was a discussion about this awhile ago. Since LDraw will interpret these lines as subfile commands, the lines are syntactically correct. Badly formed, but not invalid. And 754.dat is getting fixed in the 2000-01 update! Steve (24 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Syntax error in official part 754.dat?

  Re: the parts 754.dat and 756.dat in the 8.5L hose
 
(...) Thanks for clearing that up! In that case, I'll submit the 756.dat I just posted to lugnet.cad.dat.parts to Steve Bliss. Since it is an improvement of an existing part, it shouldn't require a vote, right? Fredrik (24 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
