    Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Steve Bliss
   (...) ... (...) Does your personal database include "this part, in this color, is available in these sets" information? Does it include LDraw part numbers? Can you post this to the web? With a sensible layout to the html? If so, I'd be interested in (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Charles Eric McCarthy
   (...) No, I don't have all this info, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to arrange it. But if the infrastructure were set up, I would submit the information about the sets I've inventoried and will inventory in the future. /Eric M/ (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Kim Toll
   (...) As would I. I'd be happy to toss in the 350 or so set inventories that I have. But someone else would probably have to do the plumbing. Mine are all in an Access database and I do use the LDraw part numbers and names (well, for the most part (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Heather Patey
   (...) I've got Margo Kubiak's castle/pirate lists compiled into an Excel spreadsheet and am adding LDraw part numbers to it; I hope to do the same with the Christian Rasmussen's Adventurers and Michael Hopkins' Ninjas. If some mechanism could be (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Dan Boger
   (...) Peeron.com actually uses flat files as it's back end... Each set is in a text file, tab delimited, with amt, ldraw num, bag, color, desc and notes. I'd love to include more sets in there... So anyone who has inventories to add, just send me (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Dan Boger
   (...) the names should be xxxx.txt, but that part doesn't really matter. The most important thing is that you have LDRAW numbers for as many of the pieces as possible... since that's what the indexing is done by. Otherwise, I won't be able to add (...)

   (...) the (...) nothing (...) No problem, I won't submit them without LDraw numbers, as far as I can figure it out. I do have some inventory entries that are multiple LDRaw pieces, such as legs or turntables - how about I put in, say, "970 or 971 or (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Dan Boger
   (...) We usually leave it blank. Not the ideal solution, but until someone comes up with a shortcut for the legs and belt, I think there's no other option. :/ (...) yup. I just added: (URL) longish, and I wish I knew where I found the original list (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Steve Bliss
   Maybe I asked you this before, but do you have a standard way of recording parts which have more than one color? For example, in AucZILLA, minifig torsos are recorded with up to three colors: if there's only one color for the torso, then the body (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Dan Boger
     (...) no real standard way - the color in the 'color' column is the base color - what you'd see if you looked inside the torso. Everything else goes in the notes... Not perfect, but I couldn't think of a better way... (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: New Partsref is pure bliss —Todd Lehman
   (...) Didn't they once with Dragon Masters? I listed one of the DM torsos like this: Red/Blue/Black/Yellow DM Torsos (Flames) meaning: red torso, blue & black arms, yellow hands, and the torso is decorated with DM flame decor (as opposed to the DM (...)
