00:38:44 <Yeggstry> can someone explain the transfer money to me? I mean, the vehicle gets a "transfer" credit, but does that money become part of the rest of the journey? So you get the transfer + rest of journey money at the end?
00:41:44 <Belugas> only when the journey ends with an order that is not a transfer
00:41:55 <Belugas> there's a wiki page on this :)
00:42:49 <Yeggstry> I did see :P I just didn't see a lot of the money
00:43:13 <Yeggstry> for instance, I had an oil tanker setup that dropped oil at docks 11k worth in transfer
00:43:25 <Yeggstry> then had trucks transferring to a nearby oil refinery
00:43:46 <Yeggstry> but the amount was no where near 11k when the trucks finished transferring

06:01:32 <Smoky555> whho can tell me,. does SVN mailing list is available now or not?
06:32:41 <Forked> urgh.. tramstation in the middle of town with 800+ passengers.. the city has 2666 people
06:33:05 <Forked> and 560 people heading towards it from the big trains tation
06:33:18 <Forked> and I was really suppose to be at work 30 minutes ago :)
06:33:23 <hylje> well of course people want to get to the centrum
06:33:59 <Forked> sorta sucks without remote connect station :)
06:41:56 <Forked> and I have got to run, afk

07:49:27 *** Yeggzzz is now known as Yeggs-work
07:58:08 *** Deathmaker has joined #openttd
08:03:35 <TinoDidriksen> Because Valgrind is just that thorough.
08:06:26 <rortom> the only tool under windows that is nearly equally is very expensive ..
08:08:58 *** extspotter has joined #openttd
08:09:17 <extspotter> can anyone help me with grfcodec
08:10:06 <peter1138> grfcodec -d -p2 file.grf
08:10:48 <extspotter> is that the grf I need
08:11:01 *** Wezz6400 has joined #openttd
08:11:11 <Celestar> peter1138: I have started to rewrite the cargo_list cache for LoadUnloadStation
08:11:33 <Forked> Is there a.. actually I'll check the wiki first
08:12:01 *** flowOver has joined #openttd
08:12:23 <Celestar> and I still don't understand CargoList::Truncate
08:12:26 *** eQualizer has joined #openttd
08:12:51 <Forked> ..is there a way to increase the penalty to tram/bus stations when it comes to generating passengers? Or can I set a "This station can only hold X passenger" .. Feels a bit silly with 900 people on one busstop/tile :)
08:13:51 <Celestar> Forked: nope. This would mean mangling the passenger generation code.
08:14:10 <Celestar> Forked: it will be done, but only if the first incarnation of cargodest is finished, because it has nothing to do with cargodest.
08:14:45 <Forked> You spoke of some penalty yesterday, I thought at the moment it was something you put in with cargodest :)
08:19:15 <Celestar> there is a penality for the number of passengers GOING TO a bus/tram stop

08:47:20 * peter1138 ponders the feasibility of saving all cached vehicle information instead of recalculating it.
08:47:31 <peter1138> Well, it's feasible, but is it the only way...
08:48:20 <Celestar> Noldo: how trunkable is what?
08:48:34 <Celestar> peter1138: what do we gain?
08:48:47 <peter1138> It's laughably easy to create a NewGRF that will cause desyncs.
08:49:20 <peter1138> Celestar, less desyncs.
08:49:43 <Celestar> Noldo: pretty .. but there are things missing apart from a thorough code review. it's all listed on the wiki
08:49:48 <Celestar> peter1138: because of newgrfs?
08:50:38 <Celestar> what data would that be?
08:50:55 <peter1138> There's loads of it. Vehicle speed, power, weight, etc...
08:51:17 <DaleStan> Hm... Yes, it is. For CBs that are called "on game load or when vehicle enters/leaves a depot", return different values depending on whether the vehicle is in a depot or not
08:52:22 <peter1138> Or lots of other vehicle variables.
08:53:01 <Celestar> are we not opening a pandora's box there?
08:53:11 <peter1138> Celestar, no, it's already open, and has been a long time.
08:53:34 <peter1138> We've solved a lot of the problems, but basically we relying on the GRF to not do anything like that.
08:55:07 <Celestar> then we ought to close it (=
08:56:29 <peter1138> It needs quite some changes, I think. Especially... road vehicles.
08:57:08 <Celestar> what about completing cargodest first :P
08:57:11 <DaleStan> The grf shouldn't, and it might well be a useful (to GRF authors) feature to save cached values and then call the CBs on game load anyway. Then ignore the result, except to issue a debug message if the game-load result doesn't match the cached value.
08:59:23 <Celestar> I'm kind of wondering that too
09:00:15 <Celestar> especially since I'm asserting everywhere that this doesn't happen :P
09:00:54 <peter1138> DaleStan, quite hard to ignore the result, especially for trains where earlier decisions affect later ones...
09:01:45 <planetmaker> peter1138: just wondering: how much increased traffic would this communication of the grf calculations cause?
09:01:56 <planetmaker> Or you plan to just communication once upon loading of a map?
09:02:15 <DaleStan> "Ignore" as in "use the cached value from the savegame". This does require that you do the saving of cached data you were discussing, though.
09:02:52 <peter1138> planetmaker... savegame changes.
09:04:14 <planetmaker> :) I wonder though... we had desyncs which can be resolved by re-loading the server...
09:04:42 <planetmaker> ignoring this communication then won't solve a thing.
09:13:24 <peter1138> Reloading the server causes it to recalculate all the cached values. Sometimes that'll fix things for a while, other times it'll be okay for a couple of players but no good for the rest.

09:19:49 <Celestar> and I think this is the clean solution

09:22:49 <Celestar> peter1138: I actually wanted to make DestinationList a sub-class of CargoList ...
09:23:51 <Celestar> but I thought better of it
09:24:19 *** ben_goodger has joined #openttd
09:26:33 <Celestar> why is this crap negative :SS
09:36:47 <Forked> that New Oil system thread feels quite hostile
09:37:08 <Celestar> a hostlie thread? on the forum? NEVER!
09:37:34 *** Noldo_ is now known as Noldo
09:38:49 <Celestar> what's it about anyway?
09:40:52 <Forked> makes oil refineries produce fuel that you can transport to power plants..
09:41:18 <Celestar> don't we have newgrfs that do that?
09:41:28 <peter1138> So it's what NewGRF can do?
09:41:31 <Forked> (I thought they mostly ran on coal / nuclear / water /etc.. ) .. Are there actually large scale power plants that use fuel?
09:42:09 <Forked> ok I guess I just made an idiot out of myself? =p
09:42:18 <peter1138> Your definition of fuel is wrong.
09:42:36 <Forked> Well Oilbased fuel then
09:42:40 <Celestar> Forked: there are some
09:42:51 <DaleStan> They are in fact called "fuel rods".
09:42:53 <Celestar> in germany, it's about 2% of the installed peak power
09:43:04 <peter1138> Things don't 'run on' nuclear.
09:43:17 <Noldo> there is a little one that burns oil like 300 meters from where I'm now
09:43:33 <Noldo> though I think it's mostly for reserve power
09:43:35 <Forked> considering the oil prices today :)
09:44:39 <Noldo> I wonder what is the definition of fuel anyway
09:44:47 <peter1138> Coal and oil fired power plants are the bane of electric car supporters...
09:45:24 *** blathijs_ is now known as blathijs
09:45:37 <Celestar> peter1138: er not really. A coal power plant still has a significantly higher efficiency than an microscopic ICE in a normal vehicle
09:46:34 <blathijs> ICE? Internal Combustion Engine or something?
09:46:48 <Forked> The ISP I work at is owned by one of the large regional power companies, that create all their electricity from water :) wee Norway
09:47:15 <peter1138> Celestar, yes, but they like to think of el-cars as totally clean.
09:47:49 <peter1138> Forked, using tidal flow or dams?
09:48:06 <Forked> Started building in the 1920s
09:48:32 <Celestar> peter1138: they aren't
09:48:35 <peter1138> So not entirely without environmental cost, although that's a one-off...
09:48:57 <Celestar> peter1138: but cleaner than ICE cars with normal power mix; much cleaner with a low-fossil-fuel power mix
09:49:06 <Forked> Well no, but still better than many other options.
09:49:18 <Forked> I'd like to see more windpower in this country, place them out at sea
09:49:38 <Celestar> wind power sucks unfortunately
09:50:01 <peter1138> God that was poor humour.
09:50:26 <peter1138> That looks better :D
09:50:58 <Celestar> peter1138: I don't like TileLoopClearHelper but that's no cargodest problem(=
09:51:13 <Noldo> why Md5::Procrss is that high on the list=
09:51:31 <peter1138> Noldo, because it's quite expensive.
09:52:24 <Celestar> Noldo: and I have bazillions of newgrfs in my data dir
09:52:42 <Celestar> peter1138: that still doesn't explain why it is called 2 million times (=
09:53:46 <peter1138> Celestar, because it's done in chunks of 1024 bytes.
09:53:55 <Celestar> peter1138: that does indeed explain it (=
09:54:07 <peter1138> Maybe increasing that buffer size would speed it up.
09:54:25 <Celestar> it's not run in-game, is it?
09:55:06 <peter1138> No, only on start up.
09:55:20 <peter1138> Not hugely important, but if it can be sped up simply, then why not?
09:55:47 <Celestar> that's how long it takes
09:55:48 *** eQualizer has joined #openttd
09:56:01 <peter1138> Not in debug mode ;)
09:56:15 <peter1138> s/debug mode/a debug compile/
09:56:42 <Celestar> peter1138: gotta disappoint you
09:56:47 <Celestar> it's in 64-byte chunks (=
09:57:40 <peter1138> Then Md5::Append() is called in 1024 byte chunks.
09:57:51 <Celestar> if it's 1k then 2million calls still sounds like 2GB worth of newgrfs :P
09:58:56 <peter1138> So no point in changing that buffer size.
09:58:58 <Celestar> breadth_first_visit in fine
09:59:17 <Celestar> breadth_first_visit in file

10:44:34 <Celestar> but it greatly speeds things up
10:44:58 *** trainboy2004 has joined #openttd
10:45:11 <planetmaker> that's nice. Well, same procedure as last time, I guess.
10:46:39 <Celestar> but maybe we could test with a network and not only a star or something (=
10:46:42 <DorpsGek> Celestar: Temporary Offline
10:47:04 <planetmaker> Celestar: sure. Let's make a point-to-point PAX game then.
10:47:24 <planetmaker> Like a number of cities connected via ICE and internal city-wide networks
10:48:04 <planetmaker> if you tell me the hg could giving it a try to update the dev server right now :)
10:48:13 <planetmaker> <--- mercurial noob :)
10:48:50 <Celestar> planetmaker: can't do it today
10:49:15 <Celestar> planetmaker: hg pull; hg update should be enough for updating the stuff.
10:49:59 <planetmaker> enjoy your meal :)
11:16:59 <Celestar> planetmaker: did we use any newgrfs last time?
11:17:42 <Celestar> maybe we could use one proper network-save trainset (=
11:18:19 <planetmaker> :). Celestar: if you have something in mind in particular... feel free to supply a save with those grf which you like :D
11:18:38 <planetmaker> or we could just take... NARS maybe as it also has nice towns.
11:18:45 <planetmaker> (the NA city set)
11:19:03 <Celestar> I usually only play the DBSet
11:21:25 <peter1138> DBSet should be desync safe ;)
11:21:39 <peter1138> It predates lots of stuff...
11:23:24 <planetmaker> k, we can use that then. Nice ICEs :)
11:24:32 <Celestar> if we play that long :P
11:24:38 <Celestar> but we can start in 1930 or summin
11:25:19 <planetmaker> is there already something worthwhile in DBSet by that time?
11:27:15 <planetmaker> well. Probably wrong word :P
11:27:25 <peter1138> They're all usable.
11:27:43 <peter1138> It's a perfect finely tuned set ;)
11:27:46 <planetmaker> I usually start 1950 - that's why I'm asking :)
11:27:57 <peter1138> Starting in 1950 misses loads of good stuff.
11:28:21 <Forked> I'll try again. In what year does the first engine appear in that trainset? =p
11:30:29 *** FauxFaux_ has joined #openttd
11:36:59 <planetmaker> how do I get the current version from hg?
11:38:49 <planetmaker> hg st? hg info? I'm not sure what then the actual revision of the code is from what I get...
11:39:49 *** Jupix2 is now known as Jupix
11:43:53 <TrueBrain> peter1138: well, after you added it (what you did I see)
11:43:58 <TrueBrain> we either need to wait for hg to reload ..
11:44:35 <TrueBrain> don't forget to set things in your hgrc ;)
11:44:53 <TrueBrain> cat truebrain/noai.hg/.hg/hgrc
11:44:53 <TrueBrain> description = NoAI patches
11:44:53 <TrueBrain> contact = TrueBrain
11:46:07 <peter1138> Hmm, didn't know they existed.
11:46:23 <TrueBrain> only if you have webhg over a repos :)
11:48:46 <peter1138> Okay, changing hgrc worked... but reloading the hg server is needed for it to appear?
11:48:56 <TrueBrain> nope, already there
11:49:05 <peter1138> No, I mean the repo :)
11:49:22 <peter1138> Say if I wanted to add another repo.
11:49:36 <peter1138> What's the deal? Just poke you? ;)
11:49:41 <TrueBrain> hg doesn't scan the directory every page reload (would be rather inefficient), so it only does it once a .. day maybe
11:49:45 <TrueBrain> so if you want it to appear, poke me :p
11:50:00 <peter1138> It doesn't do it once a day as it's been there a while ;)
11:50:14 <TrueBrain> then it never rescans :p
11:50:15 <peter1138> Maybe a daily reload would be adequate?
11:50:30 <TrueBrain> peter1138: reloading 'hg' is very troublesome .. but I will think about it :)
11:50:33 <peter1138> Or give me privs to do it, hehe
11:50:47 <TrueBrain> peter1138: like you add that many new hgs over a short period of time ;)
11:50:55 <TrueBrain> and I am almost always around, so .. ;) :p
11:51:20 <Noldo> Brianetta: I like the bit about toyland
11:51:44 <peter1138> Who does have admin rights on the server?
11:52:19 <peter1138> The new dedicated server.
11:52:20 <Brianetta> This time, with a newgrf
11:52:21 <TrueBrain> peter1138: Rubidium and I do
11:52:30 <davis-> whad newgrf's you enabled?
11:52:43 <Brianetta> One single solitary newgrf
11:52:48 <davis-> anyway , last game was without any desyncs
11:52:56 <Brianetta> If that causes no desyncs, I'll throw in some stations
11:52:58 <davis-> at least from what i seen
11:52:59 <peter1138> Did you change the start date back? :)
11:53:24 <Brianetta> In both places, since I can't remember which of start_year and start_date is the one the game uses now.
11:53:34 <davis-> added modified building costs?
11:53:40 <davis-> since it was slightly way to easy last game
11:53:58 <Brianetta> until we discover which one is causing problems
11:54:11 <Brianetta> Once we find which, we play with just that one
11:54:21 <Brianetta> to rule out the possibility that it's a problem with a combination
11:54:56 <Brianetta> If we have one newgrf which we know causes desyncs, the devs can perhaps look at it.
11:55:09 <Brianetta> Or, they can say "it will take too much time"
11:55:09 <davis-> yeah .. best way to do it
11:55:36 <Brianetta> Clearly, the negrf cache needs overhauling
11:55:51 <Brianetta> Everybody suspects it, including the devs
11:56:01 <Brianetta> I think it's time to savei t
11:56:10 <davis-> all we can do is try ..
11:56:29 <Brianetta> or, shock horror, have a secondary data set (an additional save file) which is only transferred at network connect
11:56:39 <Brianetta> contaiing all the volatile stuff
11:57:03 <davis-> iam neither good at programming , neither i ever took a look at the ottd source
11:57:14 <Brianetta> If the caches aren't flushed and stored inthe save, tey're not given to clients.
11:57:28 <Brianetta> So either the caches need flushing, or they need sending along.
11:57:41 <hylje> propagating bad state ahoy
11:57:56 <Brianetta> hylje: Good or bad we don't care; it just needs tobe the same
12:01:07 <Celestar> is the server running?
12:04:29 <planetmaker> Celestar: not quite. But in short time, I think :P
12:04:42 * planetmaker is slow trying to figure out things not having done before :)
12:10:31 <peter1138> Lots of merges, unfortunately, but never mind :)
12:10:41 *** Pikka is now known as Pikka|afk
12:15:32 <Celestar> peter1138: how do I obtain a diff between cargodest and trunk?
12:16:36 <peter1138> hg diff -r <revision of last svn change>
12:17:12 <peter1138> Which is fca6f9cf02ac, based on your repo on the server.
12:17:29 <davis-> wow i feel so un-nerdy here
12:17:39 <Celestar> peter1138: that means I need an hg checkout, righT? (=
12:17:55 *** FauxFaux_ is now known as FauxFaux
12:19:30 <planetmaker> 2f548902356c <-- that's the version for me, if I pull from the cargodest repo
12:19:47 <peter1138> Yes. That's not the last svn changeset.
12:20:26 <Celestar> it worked, thanks planetmaker
12:20:58 <peter1138> Gives you a nice diff to review :)
12:21:17 * peter1138 ponders doing the custom catenary.
12:21:37 <Celestar> peter1138: yeah. 5500 lines of it
12:22:07 <peter1138> Gah, the elrail tables use absolute sprite IDs :o
12:23:14 <Celestar> I just wanted to accelerate your search for a scapegoat :P
12:23:52 <peter1138> Hmm, well I shall change all those tables to use an enummed offset.
12:24:14 <peter1138> Or I can subtract the base and add the new base each time.
12:24:23 <peter1138> Changing the tables is better I think :)
12:26:05 <Celestar> I can't beleive I've produced 5300 lines of diff with cargodest
12:35:15 *** eQualizer has joined #openttd
12:40:37 <FauxFaux> Could be under 500 characters changed. :)
12:47:34 <Celestar> but I added 300 lines to console_cmds.cpp alone about :P
12:48:14 <FauxFaux> Actually, that was mis-counting 7 lines as 6, and the file headers are a little longer than that, too.
13:02:56 * peter1138 fudges with Celestar's code
13:03:10 <peter1138> The elrail drawing stuff :)
13:04:33 *** Deathmaker has joined #openttd
13:08:29 <Belugas> fudge... got to eat...
13:09:55 <peter1138> Heh, I just ate some fudge :)
13:10:29 <Celestar> just reading through it
13:10:48 <Celestar> but for what I can tell yes.
13:10:52 <Celestar> let's hope it doesn't slow

13:11:32 <Celestar> peter1138: while you're messing with it, can you change the Qt comments to javadoc comments?
13:11:34 <peter1138> There's enough maths there that an additional addition is hardly stressy.
13:13:00 <Celestar> peter1138: "//!" to "///<" ?
13:14:09 <Celestar> just so that we're consistent, and those lines show up in the diff anyway
13:14:49 <peter1138> Well, that's a separate diff I think.

13:45:05 <Celestar> Gekz: cargodest had a noticable impact on performance. It no longer has
13:45:29 <peter1138> I didn't notice it ;)
13:45:53 <fjb> IT people like to cache, especially if customers are starting to ask too much.
13:46:14 <Celestar> peter1138: You could only notice it when you had around 20000 units of a single cargotype waiting at a station, and that at like a dozen stations

13:47:49 <peter1138> Nice verbose commit messages ;)
13:48:03 <Celestar> peter1138: where's that from?
14:07:58 *** Sacro|Work has joined #openttd
14:11:37 <Eddi|zuHause> <peter1138> Celestar, yes, but they like to think of el-cars as totally clean. <- the main "clean" argument is that it shifts the exhaust gases from the inner city to one single big industrial area... which is imho a big enough gain already (this applies also to trams and trolley busses)
14:11:59 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: that is also a valid point, except for CO2
14:12:47 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: also .. any other emmisions are lower in normal powerplants than in mobile ICEs
14:16:22 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: plus it's easier to replace 5 coal power plants by clean ones than a fleet of a million vehicles
14:17:22 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, they should get their butts going in making electric cars affordable and run in magnitudes of 200km per refill
14:17:30 <Eddi|zuHause> but... the oil lobby...
14:19:28 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: it's not only the oil lobby
14:19:40 <Celestar> neither politicians nor the car makes have an interest in EVs
14:20:58 <peter1138> . o O ( fuel taxes )
14:21:08 <fjb> The northern american railways should slowly begin to build catenary...
14:21:28 <fjb> We had peak oil and peak coal...
14:22:31 <peter1138> And they *crushed* the GM EV1.
14:24:18 <Celestar> peter1138: the EV1 was a problem
14:24:18 <peter1138> The Tesla Roadster is built in England.
14:24:23 <peter1138> But it won't be sold here.
14:24:34 <peter1138> Celestar, it was too good?
14:24:46 <Celestar> peter1138: er you had to rent the battery
14:25:09 <Celestar> it cost a shitload and came without battery
14:25:22 <peter1138> Unfortunately the Tesla Roadster doesn't exactly look like a very practical car.
14:26:12 <ben_goodger> it's practical enough, for what it is --- an overpowered sports car
14:26:30 <peter1138> It does 200 miles on a charge apparently. Probably not flat out ;)
14:26:36 <Celestar> I *hope* the GM Volt will be a success
14:27:14 <peter1138> We need road-catenary ;)
14:28:15 <Celestar> peter1138: I've thought of road-catenary as well
14:28:33 <Celestar> it would be sufficient on the highway
14:29:58 <Celestar> peter1138: but it has problems
14:30:09 <Celestar> peter1138: trucks need to fit, so cars would need an ENOURMOUS pantograph
14:31:44 <Celestar> it needs a decent pressure for at least 40kW
14:32:06 <Celestar> but then it mustn't be heavy enough to have a car high-centering itself in every turn
14:33:00 <Neo12> hi, ich have a question concerning updating ottd with the newest nightly under ubuntu, is there anybody who can help me with that issue
14:34:02 <Celestar> no because you neglected to state the issue
14:35:37 <peter1138> Sheesh, a 2006 Prius with 98,000 miles on the clock...
14:36:43 <Celestar> peter1138: our 2006 530d is similar
14:36:55 <Neo12> ok, can you give me a short tuto how to do the update, I downloaded the newest nightly and extracted it, than I complied the nightly without errors but I can not run the game
14:38:55 <Eddi|zuHause> my crystal ball says that you didn't install libsdl-dev, ignored the big warning "building dedicated only" and now come here because no GUI opens
14:39:29 <Forked> oh and copy the grf's to bin/data ?
14:40:05 <planetmaker> shouldn't be needed, if they're in the proper location.
14:40:21 * Forked never does proper anyhting :\
14:40:40 <Eddi|zuHause> "proper" meaning ~/.openttd/data
14:40:44 <planetmaker> look at the readme. For each OS a dir exists where all installations of OpenTTD look for their grf
14:41:49 <Eddi|zuHause> which is good when you share files between builds, but not when you share the same build with different users
14:43:11 <Ammler> I use also ~/.openttd for my grfs

17:24:25 <Wolf01> peter1138! you were playing with bridges, do you know that when a company goes bankrupt all his bridges are removed, ROAD bridges too!
17:24:48 <peter1138> I was playing with bridges, was I?
17:25:11 <Wolf01> or something like this
17:25:58 <SmatZ_> it has been this way since TTD
17:26:27 <SmatZ_> they are not removed only when there is a vehicle on that bridge / tunnel
17:26:38 <SmatZ_> in that case owner is set to none
17:26:44 <SmatZ_> or something like that
17:28:03 <Wolf01> I didn't remember that, I played many games with the AI, so I'm so lucky that there was a vehicle of mine on every bridge made by the AI when the game tried to remove them because the AI gone bankruptcy?
17:28:58 *** Deathmaker has joined #openttd

17:30:24 *** Yeggs-work is now known as Yeggstry
17:31:15 <Ammler> Wolf01: how to know, that the bridge is shared?
17:31:38 <Wolf01> because all vehicles can travel on road bridges?
17:31:43 <Ammler> would be easier to just let all bridges stay.
17:32:55 <Wolf01> the game leave all those stupid road constructs on the landscape but removes road bridges... why not the contrary?
17:34:01 <Ammler> maybe you should suggest that to noAI...

19:04:15 <xintron> Evening :) Would you guys recommend upgrading elictrifyed railroads to mono or build new railroads?
19:04:34 <insulfrog> upgrade to elec first
19:04:45 <Eddi|zuHause> play a newgrf set, they almost never have universally useful maglevs
19:05:04 <peter1138> Wolf01: bung it in the scenarios forum?
19:05:05 <insulfrog> then improve existing network

19:05:54 <xintron> insulfrog: I have elec atm and in a few years mono will be available
19:06:43 <insulfrog> I would wait until maglev becomes available (I haven't used monorail for a while)
19:07:16 <xintron> insulfrog: hrmm... ok. So still use elec when expanding or build mono then?
19:07:41 <xintron> and then upgrade mono and elec to maglev when it becomes available?
19:09:08 <insulfrog> hmm... upgrading can be difficult
19:09:18 <Eddi|zuHause> there is nothing interesting happening after 2000, that's the only flaw of the DBSet
19:09:43 <xintron> insulfrog: yes it can
19:10:17 <insulfrog> upgrade when maglev becomes available
19:10:41 <xintron> and still use elec even thou mono is available?
19:10:46 <Eddi|zuHause> the daylength patch helps working around this problem, fortunately :)
19:11:24 <insulfrog> mostly I don't upgrade but any new routes I build, I will use mono or maglev

19:30:26 <insulfrog> I have been looking at the 'game-sharing' post on the forums, quite a brill idea (different from conventional multiplayer co-op :p )
19:32:01 <insulfrog> I wonder if we could use OTTD instead of TTDX?
19:34:02 <insulfrog> lets see if i could bring up the thread
19:36:20 <Eddi|zuHause> there is an infrastructure sharing patch in the forum, just look it up and apply it...
19:37:42 <Celestar> infrastructure sharing will rock with cargodest methinks
19:37:43 <xintron> What's the difference between elec and mono? Do trains still have to slow down in curves/hills?
19:38:20 <Eddi|zuHause> Celestar: i think there are issues with transfer credit
19:38:33 <insulfrog> no, it's not that, there is a post on the TT savegames section where players get 10 years of play, then save it, then pass the save onto another player (I have read about it a few mins back)
19:38:46 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: no there isn't. just pay each route individually.
19:39:09 <peter1138> Celestar, I've got a problem.
19:39:14 <Eddi|zuHause> Celestar: that might open up ways for cheating money
19:39:24 <peter1138> I'm trying to play my rail types stuff as if cargodest is available :o
19:40:03 <Eddi|zuHause> e.g. have 3 stations A,B,C, where C is the "sink". have trains running from A to B and back, have a "dummy train" in a depot with orders from B to C
19:40:23 <Eddi|zuHause> trains haul all the cargo from A via B (to C) and get paid
19:40:34 <Eddi|zuHause> now change the orders of the dummy train to "A to C"
19:40:43 <Eddi|zuHause> the trains haul everything back
19:40:45 <Yexo> Eddi|zuHause: the passengers can remember the distance traveled (per player) and pay every player on arrival
19:41:24 <Eddi|zuHause> this way, you can haul everthing back and forth without ever delivering it
19:42:35 <Celestar> peter1138: LOL. let's move cargodest to trunk and it works (= Or just pull cargodest into railtypes (=
19:43:17 <xintron> What's the difference between elec and mono? Do trains still have to slow down in curves/hills?
19:43:18 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: well, just remember the payment, but execute it only when the cargo is at the final destination.
19:43:20 <Yexo> Celestar: how far are you with cargodest anyway? (I've been away the last 10 days)
19:43:33 * insulfrog can't find the thread he is looking for
19:44:00 <Eddi|zuHause> so basically, instead of the total transfer credit, you store each individual payment
19:44:18 <Eddi|zuHause> and the company associated with it
19:44:23 <Celestar> Yexo: I've added another large change today however (which decreases CPU usage by at least an order of magnitude on large maps), so there is need for another network test. Otherwise, just check the wiki, I'm just expanding it :)
19:44:35 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: yes, correct.
19:44:58 <Eddi|zuHause> but that might open up the possibility of a player sabotaging lines by such dummy trains
19:45:04 <Yexo> thx Celestar, I'll have a look
19:45:19 <frosch123> Celestar: I've checked the autoreplace handling in cargodest. When calling RemoveRoute() and AddRoute() on a single client is desync-safe everything should be fine.
19:45:31 <Eddi|zuHause> it will add supposedly "short" routes across the map, but no vehicles actually go there
19:46:06 <Yexo> xintron: afaik, the only difference is the fact that monorail vehicles are faster generally
19:46:12 <insulfrog> I knew I saw that shared game topic somewhere
19:46:14 <Celestar> Yexo: it also contains what needs to be done
19:46:30 <Celestar> frosch123: RemoveRoute/AddRoute needs to be called on all clients. otherwise boom
19:46:38 <peter1138> xintron, less speed reduction in curves, but not much.
19:46:38 <Celestar> frosch123: what would I need to change?
19:46:49 <xintron> peter1138: ah, thanks :)
19:47:01 <peter1138> Which is silly really, as real life monorails are generally quite slow, aren't they?
19:47:54 <peter1138> Depends if you class maglev as a monorail ;)
19:48:03 <frosch123> Celestar: manual autoreplace (the button in depot) calls CmdMoveRailVehicle differently often on clients
19:48:20 <xintron> Is it possible to build a new monorail depo on an excisting elec depo with trains in it and then update the trains manually?
19:48:41 <Celestar> frosch123: could you have another look? I'm a tad busy the next two days.
19:49:01 <frosch123> Celestar: but I thought the routing network is also not stored in savegame...
19:49:09 <Celestar> frosch123: nope it's not
19:49:14 <xintron> Yexo: hrmm... ok, so then I have to build a new depo next to the old one and create new trains and copy the orders if I want to upgrade?
19:49:24 <frosch123> so, why do have AddRoute and RemoveRoute called in parallel?
19:49:24 <Celestar> frosch123: that's why AddRoute must be done on all clients
19:49:48 <Celestar> frosch123: I don't get the question. The Routing Network must be identical on all clients, right?
19:49:58 <frosch123> Well, I meant calling RemoveRoute for some routes, and then readd the same routes by AddRoute
19:50:14 <frosch123> so the edges might be stored in a different order in the graph
19:51:07 <Celestar> frosch123: that doesn't matter
19:51:16 <frosch123> then everything is fine :)
19:51:20 <Celestar> afaik edges are sorted anyway
19:51:23 <peter1138> That happens even without DC_EXEC? :o
19:51:38 <glx> btw if it's done in commands it should happen in the same order on all clients
19:52:15 <frosch123> peter1138: the complete replacement train is built to be able to call all callbacks etc. then it is sold again and all vehicles are moved to their previous location :p
19:53:06 <frosch123> glx: the problem is that autoreplace without DC_EXEC calls other commands with DC_EXEC
19:53:18 <peter1138> Hmm, with a custom random seed?
19:53:26 <frosch123> random seed is stored
19:53:32 <frosch123> to replay callbacks
19:54:24 <peter1138> Hmm, doesn't that assume the random seed will be the same between test and DC_EXEC?
19:54:27 <Eddi|zuHause> you should just fork() when testing autoreplace :)
19:54:28 <peter1138> I don't think that is the case.
19:54:44 <Celestar> frosch123: long story short. if you remove and add the same route on the client, it shouldn't matter a thing
19:54:46 <peter1138> Unlikely that callbacks will be random-based...
19:55:14 <peter1138> It is the case on a single player game, certainly, but not multiplayer. Unless you've done some magic.
19:55:50 *** ychaouche has joined #openttd
19:56:24 <ychaouche> I have a train that wont leave the garage
19:56:47 <ychaouche> the garage is linked to rails
19:57:01 <ychaouche> so I don't know what is wrong
19:57:08 <Wolf01> there's a train on the rails?
19:57:18 <Wolf01> the rails are of the wrong railtype
19:57:27 <Sacro> the driver is still in bed
19:57:29 <Wolf01> or you didn't started the train
19:57:49 <ychaouche> but I did not know there were specific railtype
19:58:01 <Eddi|zuHause> does it move when you click the "ignore signals" button?
19:58:22 <Wolf01> does it crashes on something when you click on the same button?
19:58:31 <Celestar> ychaouche: click and hold down the LMB on the rail build window
19:59:11 <Eddi|zuHause> then another train is already on the line
19:59:17 <Eddi|zuHause> you need signals, or they crash
19:59:33 * Celestar puts his fingers in his ears
19:59:46 <ychaouche> ok i'll put some signals there
19:59:48 <Celestar> ychaouche: read manual: wiki.openttd.org
20:00:07 * Belugas gives a towel to Celestar, for cleaning up the now dirty finger
20:01:00 * Eddi|zuHause slaps everyone on the forehead
20:01:14 <Wolf01> he's playing like my very first game... 2 stations, 1 depot, 4 trains, no signals... I was stopping them by hand, and I didn't figured out why somebody decided to make a such complicate game with a lot of user control
20:01:41 <Eddi|zuHause> i learned about signals from the AI :)
20:01:58 <Celestar> I BOUGHT the game and READ THE MANUAL guys
20:02:10 <davis-> when ttd was released?
20:02:16 <Eddi|zuHause> it was the TT Demo, there was no manual with it
20:02:17 <Wolf01> I played the demo, 15 minutes demo, for AGES
20:02:28 <Eddi|zuHause> 2 years was my demo...
20:02:46 <davis-> just trying to figuer how old I been
20:03:17 <Celestar> I bought TTO the day it was released
20:03:26 <peter1138> I bought it a bit later, heh...
20:03:31 <davis-> i think i played it the first time around 98
20:03:50 <davis-> so i wasnt all about reading the maual
20:04:27 <Wolf01> I bought TTDX for Dos this year
20:04:32 <Eddi|zuHause> Celestar: after my brother bought the game (at a rediculously high price) i did read the manual (and learned a lot about how it REALLY works)
20:04:56 <davis-> my dad did , never realy played it tho
20:05:10 <TrueBrain> pff, I played the game at age 10 .. english was not part of my known languages :p
20:05:23 <davis-> however .. the game still didnt get old
20:05:56 <Eddi|zuHause> i have no idea if the demo was in english
20:06:06 <Eddi|zuHause> the real game was in german
20:07:29 <Eddi|zuHause> but there really wasn't a lot that needed english skills...
20:08:01 <davis-> "Fahrzeug 3 wird alt und klapperig und muss dringend ersetzt werden"
20:08:14 <Eddi|zuHause> not in the demo :)
20:08:29 <Eddi|zuHause> the demo ended in 1932
20:08:34 <peter1138> Wolf01, for DOS? You fail ;)
20:08:45 <Eddi|zuHause> and you could only build rails
20:08:58 <davis-> anyone remembers that scenarion where you started with that huge company
20:09:05 <davis-> with a relativly large railway network
20:09:33 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think i ever played the TTD scenarios
20:09:48 <davis-> cant remember the name of it , sadly
20:10:04 <Eddi|zuHause> they are on your original TTD CD :)
20:10:17 <davis-> if that one would still work
20:10:18 <Eddi|zuHause> they should work in OTTD
20:12:10 <Wolf01> without any company property, because OTTD removes them from scenarios
20:12:25 <Wolf01> at least the last time I tried to load one of them
20:13:33 <davis-> is there somewhere a collection of severs that run with several newgrfs?
20:13:46 <davis-> stations / trains / building costs and so on
20:13:55 <davis-> basicaly i just know brianetta's
20:15:18 *** Slowpoke has joined #openttd
20:20:19 *** Progman has joined #openttd
20:27:44 <Wolf01> how cute... no mouse wheel, 5x4 stations, 10 cars trains, no resizable windows
20:29:12 <insulfrog> I have to go, cya :)
20:29:14 *** insulfrog has left #openttd
20:29:59 <Wolf01> the first thing I tried was to build a station on a flat area with an hole
20:30:52 <Eddi|zuHause> Brianettas server does not use "several" newgrfs :p
20:31:03 <Wolf01> I tried TWO times... then I figured that buildonslopes was not invented yet
20:36:14 <fjb> Hm, when the new track layering got implemented for roads you could take the road sprites from ISR and make a road grf with them. Then you can have your trucks driving through the stations and harbours. :-)
20:44:06 <peter1138> When it got? It happened?
20:44:52 <fjb> When it will have been implemented... Better?
20:45:14 <Eddi|zuHause> yes. there is a secret implementation by some guy named peter1138, didn't you hear?
20:45:22 <peter1138> s/got/is/ makes sense
20:45:43 <fjb> peter1138: How is it in correct English?
20:45:49 <Eddi|zuHause> simple tenses are too simple for complexity loving germans ;)
20:46:02 <peter1138> When the new track layering is implemented for roads ...
20:47:08 <peter1138> We're simple people ;)
20:47:09 *** lafille has joined #openttd
20:47:16 <Eddi|zuHause> future perfect passive is too complicated for the british, apparently :)
20:48:13 *** bruce89 has joined #openttd
20:48:32 <peter1138> Blame the French, or the Danish, or someone...
20:49:12 <fjb> "is implemented" is passive? Learning languages was always a difficult thing.
20:49:56 <fjb> French is easy. When it sounds good it must be correct.
20:49:57 <peter1138> Wolf01, they were a bit earlier.
20:54:48 <peter1138> Everyone invaded Britain and so we have the best bits of all those languages ;)
20:56:18 <fjb> Hm, best bits? You threw away all the nice bits...
20:56:48 <peter1138> That mine really fits in :p
20:57:57 <bruce89> can't beat gaelic, everything's called "black rock"
20:58:05 <Eddi|zuHause> fjb: it does not implement itself, so it is passive...
20:59:00 <fjb> Eddi|zuHause: Self modifying code...
21:00:29 <Eddi|zuHause> fjb: self modifying != self writing
21:00:52 <Eddi|zuHause> code generators are very common, but they are "stupid"
21:00:52 <bruce89> glx: must have done the job though
21:01:09 <fjb> Gaelic is uneconomical. You need far to much paint for the station names.
21:01:46 <bruce89> not in the case of Mallaig (Malaig)
21:02:24 <fjb> glx: Maybe, just something spoken on that stange island.
21:02:25 <Eddi|zuHause> welsh is a related language to gaelic, i thought
21:03:12 <bruce89> Welsh is 50 times less nice
21:03:26 <bruce89> they are opposite Gaelic types
21:09:58 <peter1138> Only the Welsh would make w a vowel...

21:51:26 <Progman> lazy junctions ftw...
21:51:55 <FauxFaux> I hope there's a patch to disable it. :)
21:52:30 <peter1138> Don't want it? Don't use it.
21:52:46 <Progman> "You cannot build this track. \n This tile will result in a lazy junction"
21:53:13 <FauxFaux> I was thinking of multiplayer.

22:52:36 <Progman> you can change this behavier with parameters
22:57:34 <Eddi|zuHause> I hate [...] the ECS industries [...]
23:00:46 <DorpsGek> Sacro: Celestar was last seen in #openttd 2 hours, 53 minutes, and 23 seconds ago: <Celestar> I'm off a bit
23:00:58 <Sacro> can someone compile CargoDest win32 please :)
23:01:56 <Sacro> i don't recognise that subdomain
23:02:22 <TrueBrain> a test-build of the new compile-farm
23:03:16 <fjb> I don't want the industries never closing down, I don't want well serviced industries to close down.
23:03:49 <Sacro> Plane speed factor arrows go the wrong way D:
23:03:58 <Sacro> right arrow decreases it
23:04:08 <Progman> fjb: then change the parameters
23:05:06 <fjb> The parameters are only disabling closing down at all. I don't want every generated industry to stay forever.
23:05:44 <Sacro> also we need a better grf selection thingy
23:06:19 <Sacro> i add 3 then i get bored
23:06:23 <Sacro> and then go play something else
23:47:46 <DaleStan> Whoever has pastebin admin might want to do some spam cleaning. Bunchnum of spam pastes appeared a minute or two ago.
23:48:32 <TrueBrain> DaleStan: the 'spam' solution of 'pastebin' isn't released .. so we just deal with it
23:49:24 <DaleStan> Oh. Well then, I won't bother you with that again.
23:49:54 <TrueBrain> I wish the pastebin owner would release his spam-fix solution ..
23:50:44 <TrueBrain> DaleStan: on the positive side, it is on my big list of things to do: write our own (spamfree) pastebin
23:51:01 <TrueBrain> (well, it is down to the top3 currently in fact)
23:51:33 <SmatZ_> who cares about spam in pastebin... it takes only little disk space, and nobody posts links to those spams here...
23:51:55 <TrueBrain> SmatZ_: it starts to become VERY annoying :p
23:52:17 <TrueBrain> I mean ... we are down to 65000 :p
23:52:34 <SmatZ_> when spambots start posting at IRC, like
23:52:42 <TrueBrain> 8 days ago it was 55000 :p
23:52:54 <SmatZ_> it was < 1000 for very long time
23:56:44 <bruce89> could always disable the "forever" thing
23:57:03 <TrueBrain> well, the new solution will take care of that :)
continue to next day ⏵
