'''Name:''' Max Martin Richter (Username: MMR1988)

'''Age:''' 38 (as of 2026)

'''Gender:''' Male

'''Location:''' Mügeln, Germany, Europe

'''History with LDraw:''' Max started using the LDraw System of Tools in 2008, while building a replica of a MOC. This was his first model after exiting his dark ages. He built a couple of models of the Technic and Modular Building series with MLCad in the following years and ended up authoring LDraw parts, because some were not available in the official parts library.
Once mastered this challenge the step to become a parts reviewer was rather small.

'''Related interests:''' Max collects sets of the LEGO Technic series and is member of the German LUGs 1000steine.de and AFOLs Lausitz e.V. He studied traffic and transportation and is working as engineer for train signalling and train automation technology. Max enjoys riding his bicycle in a long holiday - mostly in Scandinavia - at least once a year.

Meet Jacob Sparre Andersen

Max Martin Richter:

{{PersonPic|Name=Jacob Sparre Andersen|Username=jacob|Age=44|Country=Denmark|Roles=JJMA Recipient|ImageSource=Image:untitled.png}}

<div style="width: 70%"> Prior to the move to the Peeron server, Jacob was the server administrator and the Linux editor here at LDraw.org. He was responsible for maintaining the programs on the script that run things like the Parts Tracker, assisting others in their upload needs. Currently he assists in creating Linux materials for the site and fielding Linux questions from users. Jacob has been an active part of the LEGO community for many years, and his involvement dates back to when James first released LDraw. Here's some more info about him: </div>

'''Name:''' Jacob Sparre Andersen

'''Age:''' 44 (as of 2016)

'''Gender:''' Male

'''Location:''' København (Copenhagen), Denmark, Europe

'''History with LDraw:''' [[Image:untitled2.png]] Jacob started using LEGO as a little boy. "It was a toy. And apparently a good one." He remembers getting a big red technic tractor the christmas before his seventh birthday, "My dad and uncles really felt they "had" to help me build it."

Jacob continues to play with LEGO because at heart he feels he is just a big kid. That is also why he is a physicist, he just has to play with stuff!

Town is his favorite line. He enjoys building larger sets and models as he seems to enjoy the level of detail that this allows. He pulls his inspiration from places such as beautiful cities all the way to comic books (his favorite seems to be "Yoko Tsuno").

[[Image:untitled3.png]]

''Sal Colibri'' - From the Yoko Tsuno comic in the issue "Kanonan Fra Kra."

Jacob's favorite set is the #[http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8880 8880] followed closely by the Yacht Club set. His ideal set would be, and I quote, "larger!". He really feels the sets should be more like # [http://guide.lugnet.com/set/675 675] and #8880 it seems to open up the imagination and creativity of the user.

'''Things to Consider:''' Jacob Says: "LUGNET is a great resource for builders and creators." ...and quotes this post from LUGNET, which is the central site for LEGO discission online:

<blockquote><tt> Subject: The Refocusing of LEGO From: "Lou Zucaro" <[mailto:lou@pause.com lou@pause.com]> Lou Zucaro Newsgroups: [http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/ lugnet.lego.direct] Followup-To: [http://news.lugnet.com/dear-lego/ lugnet.dear-lego] Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 17:33:02 GMT Highlighted: !! (details) Hi everybody, Over the last few months, I have begun to come out of my second LEGO Dark Ages. Whereas my first Dark Ages was brought on by *growing up*... ...As stated so simply in the 1979 LEGO US catalog, "The magic of the LEGO concept is best summed up in one word: flexibility".... ...Refocus on building. Refocus on themes. Refocus on detail. Refocus on the integrity of the product and what it stands for, and dont give in to the fear that if its not electronic, people wont buy it. They are different mindsets, and they can co-exist. Look back at your past successes and bring your product lines, themes and sets back in line with where they were. Give LEGO enthusiasts of all ages the opportunity to find that magic again. </tt></blockquote>

Preparing a MPD for Official Model Repository compliance

2015-11-17T16:14:38Z

Max Martin Richter:

Preparing a model to follow the [http://www.ldraw.org/article/593.html Official Model Repository specifications] can be a daunting task, as there are many little details to take care of. Fortunately, [http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=mpdcenter '''MPDCenter'''] tool comes to the rescue!

== 1 - Setting up MPDCenter to find your LDraw folders. ==
These settings are located in menu options -> options

* If f your LDraw folder is a clean one, without any unofficial part, set the path to pure official folder on it as well as your LDraw base folder. Set the unofficial parts folder to the folder that contains your unofficial parts (doh')

* If you mix your unofficial parts with official ones, download an up-to-date [http://www.ldraw.org/parts/latest-parts.html complete.zip] and unzip it in a folder then set the path to pure official folder on it. Set your LDraw base folder and unofficial parts folder to your regular LDraw folder.

== 2 - Preparing your [http://wiki.ldraw.org/index.php?title=Multi-Part_Document MPD] model ==
This tutorial uses a model of the UCS Millennium Falcon by Roland D. available [http://forums.ldraw.org/read.php?17,17909,17909#msg-17909 '''here'''], both in its initial version not OMR compliant, and in its processed, OMR conform version.

# Name your mpd file as "xxxxx - name of set.mpd", here "10179 - Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon.mpd"
# Start MPDCenter, open your mpd file. MPDCenter trundles a bit - your file is NOT OMR conform!
# In the tree window (left pane), select main model of your file (here main.ldr) then Edit -> Header dialog
# In the dialog that omens, set author name, theme, etc... and most importantly the license as redistribuable (a not-redistribuable file can't be OMR compliant), click "Apply".
# Answer "yes" to apply the header data to all file in mpd, and yes again to allow MPDCenter to rename files in MPD to be OMR conform.
# MPDCenter does its thing, then (because this file contains specialized parts file - the bended 47996 that has no redistribuable license) complains that the mpd is still not OMR conform...
# To solve this issue, click on each specific part file in tree window, then right click on it, and set license entry to redistribuable. Note that this step is not needed for models that don't contain specialized parts (or if the parts already carry a redistribuable license)
# Check again for OMR conformity (Information->LDraw OMR check). This time, we get references to ~Moved to parts that should be updated (in MPDCenter options it is possible to make this update automatic on file load)
# To do this: Edit -> Update '~Moved to' refecences
# We are almost done... the last step is to include all unofficial parts to the MPD so that it remains consistent even if unofficial parts are renamed, moved or rotated. This is actually the '''most important step''' of all... To do this: Import -> Import unofficial files.
# Save the MPD file.
