I decided to take a break from working on other projects and finally
revamp my Minifig plugin.

I do plan to release the source for this plugin as soon as I
finalize my DATTools Delphi component library

Hey, cool.  Is there a linux port in the works?

Unfortunately no.  The component library I used for rendering, GLScene, is only
available for Windows.  Though I read that they were think of proting to Kylix.
As soon as they relase a stable version, I'll work on it

I have questions.  I think these plugins are pretty cool, so would
it be OK to use them as plugins for the LEDIT mode in ldglite?  I did
a quick and dirty feasibility test and it looks doable.  For my test
I tried to  see what it would take to launch the minifig plugin and
get me some minifig data to paste into ldglite.  It seems to work
if I run it from the lddp directory.  I take it this is because it
looks for "plugins\minipart.dat", or does it use the lddp path from
the registry?  I was thinking for my nefarious purposes, I could make
a plugin directory off the LDRAW directory and install the plugin
stuff there.  Any thoughts on this?

I love for you to use my plugins.  I do this for fun and to give me something to
do while watch TV, so have at.

The plugin looks for MiniPart.ini in the plugin directory of the program that
calls it.  In addition, the plugin need the path to LDraw from the LDDP.ini file
(unless the path to Ldraw on your machine happens to be C;\Lego\LDRAW)
If you need the INI file (as this is a relatively new file for LDDP, and only
exists for CVS builds of the program), I can send it to you.

(...) That's great. So it should work if I make a plugins directory off whatever directory ldglite.exe resides in. I take it that's where you'd look for the lddp.ini file as well. Is the lddp.ini file a replacement for the lddp registry entries? (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Was there some reason that y'all didn't use <windir>\ldraw.ini? If for nothing else, it has the ldraw path. Steve (21 years ago, 27-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
