 | | Black seems wrong in ldconfig.ldr
|
|
The ldconfig.ldr file currently being distributed with the parts library seems to have the wrong definition for black. It uses 33,33,33 as the RGB color, when the official color chart uses 51,51,51. Two things to note. First, 33,33,33 comes out (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Sorry to immediately post a follow-up to my own post, but I just noticed that RubberBlack is defined with the same 33,33,33 color (not surprisingly), and I feel it needs to be updated as well. --Travis Cobbs (20 years ago, 12-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) (er, which official color chart?) (...) Uh, Travis, it's *black*. It's *supposed* to be dark. People have questioned/complained that it's not 'true black' (ie, 0,0,0). You might be right about the origin of the 33 value, but I believe I was (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) In fact the official LEGO colour chart mentioned here (URL) uses 27, 42, 52 for black. ROSCO (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Given that ldconfig.ldr is part of the LDraw parts library, I was referring to the color reference on the LDraw.org site (noted in another message). However, it might make sense to use the colors above, since they came directly from Lego, and (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Why not use the optional MATERIAL bits from this old discussion (URL) come up with a modified ldconfig.ldr? Then implement some code in LDVIEW to enable your metallic lighting goodies when ldconfig.ldr contains the proper MATERIAL settings. (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I agree that something of that sort would be a good idea, but in the case of my metallic colors, I actually hand-tweaked the settings for each metallic color. They aren't all the same. This was done partially to differentiate between chrome (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Where else would you put it? What if you break the material settings up into two parts? 1) a material tag on the COLOURDEF line: 0 COLOURDEF 334 ChromeGold 15 0xFFC40026 MATERIAL metallic 2) a MATERIALDEF line added to the end of the file that (...)

(...) You could put your custom information in an ldviewconfig.ldr file which you supply with the LDView install. Then add a setting to LDView, allowing the user to specify multiple pre-processing files. Default the setting to (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Thanks. That's a good idea. I'll have to think about it, though. Up until now, I have purposely avoided creating any LDView-specific meta-commands. On the other hand, this would be one of the few reasons that might convince me that an (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well, I hope the final syntax for the color definition statement will allow some space for programs to support their own special syntactic needs. So you hopefully won't need a super-custom meta-statement for LDView, just a special flavor for (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
