Lyichir Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) My LDD is updating as we speak! For some reason, my brother's isn't, though. Will edit this post once I have some idea of what the update contains! EDIT: I don't have LDD Manager so I can't tell all of what's new, but so far I have some old Bionicle parts, some new Hero Factory parts, and the Mixels joints! EDIT 2: New hair galore—Lego Movie, Ninja Turtles, The Hobbit, Disney Princess, and more! EDIT 3: Headgear too—Hero Factory, Star Wars, Ninjago, Super Heroes, Chima, Lego Movie, Hobbit, maybe others I missed. EDIT 4: HF Minifig parts! Lego Movie beards and moustaches! EDIT 5: Accessories—Princess, Lego Movie, Chima, City, and probably more! EDIT 6: Firing blasters and old magnets! EDIT 7: Mixels teeth, Unikitty tail, new plants, and Metalbeard's metal beard! EDIT 8: Loads of new Technic! EV3! EDIT 9: Juniors parts! EDIT 10: For Gnac: No new wheels other than the Princess ones to my knowledge, but the Vespa, HF cylinders, and EV3 rubber tread attachments are all in the wheels category. EDIT 11: Round tiles with holes! Bowls! EDIT 12: Corner tiles! Cross plates! Juniors bases! EDIT 13: 2x2x2/3 curved slopes! 4x8x2/3 curved slopes! EDIT 14: And last but not least, the piece of resistance, 1x4 masonry bricks, and a bunch of large '90s brick bases! Edited May 1, 2014 by Lyichir Quote
Gnac Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 What's the brickset number? Also: ARE THERE ANY NEW WHEELS. This is super-important. Quote
lego911 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 What's the brickset number? Also: ARE THERE ANY NEW WHEELS. This is super-important. Yes, I have been checking. Part No.15413 - the new realistically treaded technic tire 49.53 * 20/ Fits on the 30 * 20 wheel. 911 Quote
Gnac Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Yes, I have been checking. Part No.15413 - the new realistically treaded technic tire 49.53 * 20/ Fits on the 30 * 20 wheel. 911 Hot poop! You should post here more often. I occasionally see your cars while browsing the "random" selection on Brickshelf and get inspired to make things, but then I look at my tiny bit bucket and get discouraged. Maybe an onslaught would make me more accustomed to instant noodles so I can afford more parts. Oh, to stay on-topic: it's 10pm here in Britland, and I don't have an update, wagh. Quote
Lyichir Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 Okay, one last note on the update. While I'm not sure what sort of new decorations there are and am not about to check every part to find out, I can confirm that all three types of Mixels eyes (1x1 round, 2x2 round, and Bionicle ball joint) are there!

JGW3000 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Dumb Q? How do you know you got updated, I don't see anything new on my copy of LDD? Quote
Gnac Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Dumb Q? How do you know you got updated, I don't see anything new on my copy of LDD? Click on menu: "Help > About", and look below the big blue brick for the "Brick Version: n" part. If "n" is higher than 1264, then I am a bit jealous. Edited May 1, 2014 by Gnac Quote
JGW3000 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Ok, thanks - its still 1264, and I tried deleting the lb.lif file, and it just downloaded the same one. Quote
Classicsmiley Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 The update was about 159MB, so you'll probably notice when it downloads. It's only a new brick version, not new LDD version. The new brick version is 1392. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I got the update. I just kept opening and closing Ldd till the update popped up. I'm glad they finally added the mixels ball joints. I have a lot of ideas to try out that involve them. Quote
JM1971 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 When does new versions show up on the download page? http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/download Quote
pbk420 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Shame there is no "check for updates" option within LDD ive tried several times to open it but dont get any update Quote
Gnac Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) OMG THE UPDATE Perhaps this should be reappropriated into the official thread, since it has been itching for so much from the beginning. EDIT 10: For Gnac: No new wheels other than the Princess ones to my knowledge, but the Vespa, HF cylinders, and EV3 rubber tread attachments are all in the wheels category. A bit dissappointing, but still, YOU MAH DAWG. I hope those rubber treads are at least available in a "typical" configuration, since similar things were unuseable in sets such as 4888-1. (They were made "useable" a few updates ago, but no-one updated the sets. BEAT ME IF YOU DARE) EDIT ZERO: Actually this is pretty excellent, disregard all previous diappointment. EDIT 1: I have experenced this update in a very much inebriated mode, so forgive all such as typos - aside from the new bits, existing things apear to have been moved around so that they might appear more logical to someone who may not be used to the whole manner of things. EDIT 2: Most things to do with wheels are now actually in the section in which you may expect to find them: WHEELS. So you can get all yer hubs, specific bearings, rubbery bits, fancy spokes and squidgy bits for trax in that section. This is a pretty good thing that I appreciate, and I daresay, not the limit of what has been improved. Edited May 2, 2014 by Gnac Quote
Masta' Blasta' Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 It won't work for me yet. I'm really jealous right now. Quote
Lyichir Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 For reference, it's actually the same version of LDD, but a new brick version (1392). I shared this on Facebook and have had to explain why it wasn't working for some people, which was already frustrating because I don't know, and it wasn't helped by my little brother spamming stuff from an old, hacked LDD version that he had glitched out, confusing everyone further. All I can say is I hope the rest of you get it by tomorrow! Quote
Takanuinuva Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know if this decoration was added? http://www.bricklink...?P=973pb1442c01 Edited May 2, 2014 by Takanuinuva Quote
Lyichir Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 Does anyone know if this decoration was added? http://www.bricklink...?P=973pb1442c01 I don't think so. There aren't a lot of new torso decorations from what I can tell, apart from indexing the CMF decorations to the part so they can be selected in the program. Unless there are new unindexed decorations, but I have no way of knowing that. I wouldn't hold out for a single-set licensed torso anyway, given the history of new decorations in past updates. I think they try to stick to more universally-applicable designs, and we've only gotten a few licensed decorations at all. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Not working for me, either. I even uninstalled it, and did a fresh download. Still brick version 1264. Quote

I am not even supposed to be awake right now! EDIT: And maybe Aanchir / Nachapon. can't forget. Edited May 2, 2014 by Gnac Quote
Superkalle Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Now I woke up OK, based on the list of new bricks that I get from the LDD Team with every release, it seems we've got 162 new bricks this time. A few of them nice oldies that were on our "old bricks most wanted" list (I'll update the "Most wanted" topic after this). LXF and screenshot attached to this post. One oddity spotted immediately: The 2412 1x2 radiator grill (located in the Plates group) now exists in a new DesingID: 15561 (located in the 1x1 plate with clip on side group). However, if you use the 15561 in a model, save, and then re-open, it gets swapped back to 2412. The following "oldies" I could see: 2424 2607 2609 2995 2996 6579 6580 6581 6582 32174 64305 64307 64308 64321 64328 74042 74043 74665 1392.lxf 1392.zip Quote
Jody Meyer Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 So I got my update today for LDD, still no minidolls for friends i noticed. I find that a bit odd. anyone else? Quote
CM4Sci Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) It's updating now! I'm so excited! EDIT: That's really weird. It updated, no new bricks. I close it again, reopen, and there's no update. What..? EDIT 2: Closed again, it's updating again. EDIT - and still didn't give me the installation wizard.. EDIT 3: 159.53/159.53MB, 3993/3993 and it just stops responding, then it responds and just opens it normally. I swear this happened last update, too. -Sci Edited May 2, 2014 by CM4S Quote
