  Re: There is no more parts repository
 
Hello (...) Horse? (...) I don't consider that as a good idea. It doesn't encourage a lot of part authors to mak their parts perfect. If the part is submitted to the tracker it shows that the author of the part is really willing to make it official (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: There is no more parts repository
 
(...) What is the place for recent parts such as the Fabuland Car Base or the Horse? Everybody will agree that having ALL parts in ONE place is better. One solution could be to extend the submission page with a new "Deposit" button. When this button (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  There is no more parts repository
 
The Tore Temporary Parts Tracker was a convenient one. It is now superceded by the official LDraw Parts Tracker when it comes to officialization. But Steve Bliss emails me that submitting a mockup or even an unfinished part and voting NO, pointing (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: ldglite 0.9.4

  Re: LDR - New LDraw File Extension
 
(...) In this case, (since we are ridding the wave of change), I would sugest, using .mpl (Multipart Ldraw) instead of .mpd (Multipart Dat) I think it makes reasonable sence. Another pet peeve for is the fact, that we should agree, on the Case of (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: LDR - New LDraw File Extension

Otherwise you Windows folks are going to have to fight it out with Microsoft for the .mpd extension, and we already know who'll win that battle. :) Microsoft registers .mpd for Microsoft Project Documents.

  Piece Number?
 
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a part number associated with that large phone-handset piece that's been showing up in the UCS sets. There are two in the UCS tie fighter, I believe, and at least two in the Star Wars RBR. They are clearly seen in (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Color question
 
Still on the 200101 update: I noticed that 3297P90 (slope with classic space pattern) had some polys with color 18. Isn't it an illegal color code or did I miss a discussion and now it's valid ? The FAQ doesn't say anything about being able to use (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
