  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
How about dropping the AA ? So far, IIRC, no-one has ever used it. If another value than the default (0x80?) is wanted, it can be put into the MATERIAL section: transparent=25% The we will use the familiar LDraw color codes for both EdgeColor and (...)

  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) Ok, I was agreeing with your proposal to make it optional and relegate it to the end of the line with the MATERIAL properties. And hopefully it'll never be used, except possibly to reproduce a texture that's stippled in real life like the (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Part Renames
 
(...) The Castle Walls (including the newly LDraw one) need to be renamed to be Panels. Also, the names for minifig parts (of which there are many) are a great mystery to me. E.g., Minifig Castle Helmet with Chin-Guard was recently officialized, but (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Variants of Wheel Holder Brick (Wa: Rubber Colors Needed)
 
(...) You mean part 7049 ? I know the following variants: (Brick, Bottom, Shafts) White, Red, Red White, Clear, Clear White, Clear, Black White, Clear, Red Black, Milkywhite, Red Black, Clear, Red Several wheels (spoked and studded, regular and (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) Actually, I want to keep dithering. (...) Shrug. I dunno. (...) I'm OK with AARRGGBB, if everyone agrees with that. I'd recommend that programs recognize a variety of semi-standard formats, specifically: #AARRGGBB 0xAARRGGBB AARRGGBB (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Variants of Wheel Holder Brick (Wa: Rubber Colors Needed)
 
(...) Witch one of them? I know by three variants only by heart and with some research, I will probably find more... :) (...) I think it would be great for Bricklink and such purposes. /Tore (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) So far it is worth less... ;-) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) No it's not. If the render is old and not updated then it will never the ldconfig.ldr file anyhow, so the dithered colors in ledit and ldraw will never change. This is for the future. (...) That's still true, but you should be able to replace (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Part Renames
 
(...) I think Bracket 3 x 2 x 2 would be the best alternative. Keep the space seat line, just use it a keyword. And although I sure it has been mentioned before, I think that all theme names should be relagated to keywords and not as parts (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Rubber Colors Needed (Was: Color Definition for Dull Silver)
 
(...) I seem to have a few of these white (sort of a chalky gray-white, in my collection) tires from the early 70's, but I have no idea which of my early sets included them. I always figured that the white color was simply a sign of degraded rubber. (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

OR... We could pick up the old 0 TEXTURE meta-command? No need for new volour numbers? (URL) for replying to myself) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) It's needed for backwards compability. Using an old/not updated renderer shouldn't make the rendering look awkward. But using a newer renderer should make it better. So is the case with grey rubber, black rubber, and electric conductor. When (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Rubber Colors Needed (Was: Color Definition for Dull Silver)
 
(...) I saw that link at Brickshelf, too, and was very surprised. Never heard of that those tyres came in white. Samsonite maybe? I'm tempted to buy a couple just to satisfy my curiousity. Rubber belts have come in many colours, (URL) we need many (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Part Renames
 
(...) **Warning: Obvious Political Joke** Well, duh. Tipper is the former would-be First Lady. **End of Obvious Political Joke** Also, I'm a tipper if the service is good. Dave! Wouldn't you like to be a tipper, too? (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) On that note, let me toss in my $2. I agree with Cary and Steve that dithering should go. Who needs it? The renderer should be able to convert from true color to dithered colors if the display is underpowered. If you must have it for some (...)

Quoting Orion Pobursky <orion@pobursky.com>: (...) Something that tips? Like... the yellow car in set 2126 - those ends, are the ends of the tipper. (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Part Renames
 
(...) I believe this is a tipper: (URL) It's a container that is designed to tip over to unload. (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Part Renames
 
(...) What's a tipper? Someone clue me in please. I feel that if I'm confused as to what a tipper is supposed to be, then others may also be just as confused (or maybe I'm delusional ;-) ) -Orion (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
