  Re: MLCad.ini and Unofficial parts

  Re: MLCad.ini and Unofficial parts
 
(...) OK, that seems to be ok. I have additional Parts\s and P\48 hided added to this list. Can you send a file where that problem occur? cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 1-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: MLCad.ini and Unofficial parts
 
(...) I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, if the full unofficial file were somehow incomplete , but if I dump all the unofficial files into the official folder MLCad never complains. Jetro (15 years ago, 1-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) It is quite normal that MLCad complaints. As explained here: (URL) package with the unofficial files is updated every 3 minutes and includes also held files. You'll therefore also get parts like this: (URL) is an extraordinary part but has (...) (15 years ago, 1-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: MLCad.ini and Unofficial parts
 
(...) I don't know what you're doing wrong, but MLCAD does NOT expect the unofficial parts to in parts.lst. It scans those folders at startup for parts. --Travis (15 years ago, 30-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  MLCad.ini and Unofficial parts
 
I'm not sure if I'm missing something... I have a LDraw\Unofficial folder with all the unofficial parts and MLCad.ini with the lines corresponding to the location of those unofficial parts uncommented. I open MLCad, scan for new parts and write a (...) (15 years ago, 30-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: LSynth 3.0 setup tutorial updated
 
(...) Of course. I'm at work right now, but I'll try to remember to send you a copy when I get home. Nothing fancy, the only trick was getting the spacing and the "stiffness" right. Did you already grab the MPD file from my Brickshelf page? Besides (...) (15 years ago, 17-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

  Re: LSynth 3.0 setup tutorial updated
 
(...) Jetro, same story as for Eric. It would also be helpful if you could provide an example where the synthesis is used. Feel free to mail the file to my private email account. Thx! w. (15 years ago, 17-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: LSynth 3.0 setup tutorial updated
 
(...) Hi Eric, Great work! Could you please provide the LSynth.mpd part to be included with the other synthesis? May I further take portions of your v-8.mpd file and modify it for the example page? Credit will be given. w. (15 years ago, 17-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: LSynth 3.0 setup tutorial updated

  Re: LSynth 3.0 setup tutorial updated  [DAT]
 
(...) Thanks. I'll use that one then. Let me take advantage of this thread to suggest the inclusion of another element in the lsynth mpd: the Fibre Optics Cable x400. This is the one that came with the RCX, Spybots and several Exoforce sets, has the (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: LSynth 3.0 setup tutorial updated
 
(...) Jetro, The biggest, most important change between LSynth 2 and LSynth 3, is that the bulk of the synthesized result is defined by lsynth.mpd, so that Willy and others can add whole new synthesis types without the need to change the lsynth (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: LSynth 3.0 setup tutorial updated

  Re: Adding to Catagory Group

Ok, that helps out a lot, things are getting better organized now, but I haven't noticed any reference to sub-groups like the "Other Parts" group, I'd like to be able to sub-group parts as well, for example.

  Adding to Catagory Group
 
Is it possible to alter the catagory groups in MLCad? I'd like to be able to add groups/sub-groups to the list, for example a group that has all the minifig parts. (15 years ago, 5-May-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: bendable track
 
(...) Yeah, about that... I guess Willy and I were both thinking at some point that maybe bands and hoses aren't really so different that they require two distinct paths through the lsynth code. So we did a quick and dirty experiment with the (...) (15 years ago, 17-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: bendable track
 
(...) Hi Willy, Thanks for the explanation. I've never touched the STRING_BAND synthesis, so we'll have to let Don speak to this. Kevin (15 years ago, 15-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: bendable track  [DAT]
 
(...) Upps! Looks like there is a gap in communication. Don started writing code which would allow using "bendable" and "band" constraints together.
