While not directly related, I've found that, while using subparts from the
parts\s directory, the names will be truncated if they're more than 8
characters long and therefore won't render in LEdit or LDraw. For instance, a
line like:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s\newparts.dat
will be clipped to read:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s\newparts.d
or something similar. I would expect that the same would occur with a 32-bit
name/extension combo, and it would seem that any renderer using LEdit as a
base platform would fail to display parts with such truncated names.
Does LDraw even recognize non-.dat extensions? If you run MAKELIST, the
PARTS.LST won't list any files not ending in .dat.
As such, my vote is to steer clear of long or non-.dat file names, if for no
other reason than we're a long way from exhausting the part name possibilities
even within the strictures of our current format.
Dave!
