I focused instead on maintaining my involvement in the physical Lego hobby, which is how Orion finally found me alive and well at BrickCon this year.
BRICKSMITH WINDOWS SOFTWARE
So I wound up both abandoning the software and going completely incommunicado. Unfortunately, I also enjoy putting words together, which means that responding to e-mails is an involved process for me. It became clear that I just didn't have time to do hobby software development anymore, and I had to pull back entirely. Bricksmith survived our first child and it survived the babyhood of our second child, but it did not survive her toddlerhood. But then the pressing obligations of life crowded in and my hobbies had to be pared down. My story is a sadly common one in the LDraw community: when I started my project, I was young and had lots of time. Hi everybody! I'm sorry it's been such a long time since I've been able to do anything with Bricksmith, and that I largely vanished. I do have contact with Allen so I'll message him tomorrow and point him to this post. I'll abandon that fork in favor of yours. I forked Bricksmith to GitHub as well but haven't done anything with it. I would like to get Allen's blessing on a binary release though Bricksmith is his brain child. :-)įrom what I can tell, there's nothing stopping us from doing this (or releasing binaries), as the code is under a BSD license. Turns out I'm not the only Bricksmith developer to do that - Robin beat me to it. Regarding github, Bricksmith is already there, twice! I've been using GIT to track the official SVN repository for years, so when I found I had to build on an older Mac that I don't use to model, I got fed up and used github to 'port' the code over. Orion, if you have any contact with Allen, the most useful thing would be to find out if we can get his blessing to do an updated release based on latest code I'm happy to release a binary of what I have (which should work on Mojave) but I had been hoping to hear from him before taking the step of splitting the binary releases.
I've been working around this by compiling builds on an older version of OS X until I have the patience to figure out what's gone wrong. The renderer is working - you can see the model in the debugger, but the scrolling views clip out the results. The bad news is that compiling Bricksmith on Mojave/X-code 10 produces 3-d views where the parts are hidden. I have been periodically fixing various breakages due to OS updates, so my guess is you're seeing something I have already fixed when maintaining Bricksmith for my own use. I'm sorry to have gone AWOL here - for some reason my forum prefs got zapped to not email me, so I didn't realize there was news.įirst, Warren: the good news is the latest tip of Bricksmith -will- run on Mojave. I don't have any development experience but I do have other resources that I can help out with, I'm sure. If Allen does agree to fork it onto Github, please let me know if I can help. Thankyou - that's completely understandable :-) My main issue on Mojave is that when you open a file, the window never opens! So it's pretty much unusable for me.
BRICKSMITH WINDOWS UPGRADE
That said, I haven’t had any issues on Mojave but I haven’t really used Bricksmoth in any in depth way since the upgrade I plan on asking him if I can fork the project to Githib and release, at the very least, a recompiled version that works. Real life has gotten in the way of his development. I'd be happy to help you in that if I can, but my coding skills are next to non-existent sadly. I think if you want to continue using it a hard fork might be necessary. Would it be possible to get your latest version to test? Lots of window handling issues and I've just found out the hard way.
BRICKSMITH WINDOWS UPDATE
Just as an update - Bricksmith 3.0 really doesn't work on OS X Mojave.

So, I first thought to do simple technical conversions like converting to ARC and modern Objective-C. I'd like to ping him before doing anything as drastic as a hard fork of Bricksmith.
BRICKSMITH WINDOWS HOW TO
If anyone who has been around LDraw for a while knows how to reach Allen directly, please contact me. But I haven't heard from Allen in years - I lost email contact with him around when he stopped posting on these forums.
BRICKSMITH WINDOWS MAC OS X
fixing crash bugs) and was thinking a point release to update it for modern versions of Mac OS X would be a win. I've been steadily maintaining Bricksmith for myself (e.g. I've been in stealth mode for a while now, but I wanted to stick my head up to see if anyone knows how to contact Allen Smith.
