Ok, that means I will extend the internal color table to 512 entries, and
allow the user to modify colors up to value 511.
Just looked up the code and remembered the implementation:
As current MLCad supports the following:
0-31 fixed (as in LDraw)
32-63 fixed transparent (as in LDraw)
64-255 user defineable (preinitialized)
256-511 will be user defineable with the next version but preinitialized
0x02000000-0x03ffffff for use with individual 8 bit resolution colors (MLCad
& L3Lab)
0x04000000-0x07ffffff for use with individual 4 bit resolution colors (MLcad
& L3Lab & LDLite)
So there is plenty of space for future things to implement!? Any ideas?
Michael
