  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) I'm gonna explain (and quit afterwards) why I hesitate adding new and old - what I call "MLCad" - colors to the LDConfig.ldr file: * The current LDConfig.ldr contains only colors you'll find in official LEGO Bricks (with two exceptions (...)

(...) Hi Steve, good to hear from you again. Would you mind lokking into this: (URL) (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) Tore, Feel free to add any color, RGB, name or number you like to the LDConfig.ldr. file. I really won't stand in the way of 100% backwards compatibility to L3Lab. w. (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) Oh. Oh. I... I wish somebody had told me this before, instead of arrogant and provoking things like: "Welcome to 2009". Or maybe someone has tried, but I've been the write protected that time? /Tore (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) Yes, exactly. 48 is rendered as trans-black, 65 is blue, and 133 should be dark pink (or whatever we're calling color #5 today). Steve (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) Do you mean that original LDraw accepts color 48, 65, 133 without error message? I didn't know that. Pity L3Lab (and L3P v1.3 which I no longer use)don't act that way. If so, I guess I stand corrected. And blushing. But yet, with a little (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) Just to be clear: all colors from 0 to 511 (except 16 and 24) are true LDraw colors. For color codes less than 256, LDraw would use the lowest 4 bits to determine the color value. The sixth bit would determine transparency. The other bits were (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) I for one would have been very happy with that approach. That's exactly what I have tried to tell over and over and over again. Could those of you who have their intellectual write protection on, pretty pretty please unlock it for just a few (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Color page updated
 
Nobody ever listens to me on the issue of colors, but that doesn't mean I'll go quietly... (...) I don't see why they need to be added to the ldConfig file as long as they're documented somewhere and accepted as the standard default LDraw pallette. (...)

  Re: Color page updated
 
(...) Sorry, but I really cannot understand the need to encode dithered colors. Personally I think that only colors used for parts should be coded, while, when you create a patterned part you can choose to use a "good enough" already coded color or (...)
