12:12:38 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v frosch123
12:23:03 <frosch123> i thought we only automatically switch from 8bpp to 32pp blitter
12:32:22 *** Supercheese has joined #openttd.dev
12:32:23 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v Supercheese
14:09:50 <fonsinchen> The workflow is usually 1. Start with OpenGFX, 2. Switch to NightGFX (triggers a switch from 8bpp to 32bpp blitter), 3. Switch back (triggers a switch of blitters from 32bpp to 8bpp)
14:10:12 <fonsinchen> Maybe it's important that I start with an 8bpp blitter ...
14:14:12 <frosch123> i can reproduce it by starting with zbase and not forcing any blitter
14:46:52 <frosch123> well, gonna blame allegro
14:47:11 <frosch123> even calling set_palette every tick does not have any effect
16:34:19 <fonsinchen> If you have hundreds of bridges or tunnels this may be a performance problem.
16:34:46 <fonsinchen> However, the conversion tool is already not very usable when zoomed out too far.
17:16:11 <fonsinchen> Actually that bug is a duplicate and adf88 has a better fix for it: bugs.openttd.org/task/5866
17:16:22 <fonsinchen> seems I could have saved myself some work.
17:22:46 <fonsinchen> We should add a DiagonalTileArea to fix that.
17:23:15 <planetmaker> adf88 has a diagonal tile area patch
17:24:05 <planetmaker> let me look. I just remember that, but not where
17:30:34 <fonsinchen> I can't find it either
17:30:59 <DorpsGek> fonsinchen: adf88 was last seen in #openttd.dev 11 weeks, 0 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes, and 0 seconds ago: <adf88> ?
17:33:05 <planetmaker> maybe it was also MJP. dunno. It was in relation to some redrawing areas. And improving some speed in drawing iirc...
17:33:10 * planetmaker continues with forums
17:41:40 <fonsinchen> planetmaker: wasn't there that huge list of patches somewhere?
17:42:00 <fonsinchen> Wasn't that also by adf88? Maybe it's in there.
17:42:58 <planetmaker> yes, it was among like 5..8 patches. One of them
17:43:31 <fonsinchen> We had some links to those in this channel here.
17:44:03 <fonsinchen> Do you remember any keywords in conjunction with that?
17:44:22 <planetmaker> not properly, no :(
17:48:19 <fonsinchen> but that's neither adf88 nor MJP
17:48:46 <planetmaker> that's longer ago than I recall seeing that
17:49:44 <Alberth> @ seen is not what you think it is, it's @ last-talked actually
17:49:44 <DorpsGek> Alberth: seen [<channel>] <nick>
17:49:46 <frosch123> if you are looking for someone with lots of patches, it's probably juanjo
17:50:00 <frosch123> but it is mostly about filtering lists and grouping vehicles
17:50:22 <frosch123> if you refer to adf88 and dragging, maybe you mean the polyline bulding thingie
17:51:38 <fonsinchen> OK, let's assume no one has done DiagonalTileArea, yet, then.
17:52:05 <fonsinchen> I mean, if adf88 had such a patch he would probably have linked it in the bug report.
17:53:22 <frosch123> juanjo had a patch for a catchmentarea tilearea or so
17:53:26 <frosch123> but that is not diagonal
17:53:58 <frosch123> diagonal convert rail?
17:54:20 <fonsinchen> Yes, it fails with tunnel/bridge duplicate detection
17:54:34 <fonsinchen> see FS#5888 and FS#5866
17:54:39 <frosch123> hmm, ah, yeah, so that was the starting point of the discussion :p
17:57:24 <frosch123> well, a diagonal tile area is of rare use
17:57:40 <frosch123> only diagonal thing in game are rails
17:57:53 <frosch123> and there you want only half of the tile, not a whole tile
17:58:02 <frosch123> so, only terraforming and rail convert
17:58:09 <frosch123> or do i miss stuff?
17:59:01 <fonsinchen> Well, we do need something like that here and it wouldn't be much more code than what he's already done in cmd_rail.cpp
17:59:30 <fonsinchen> Also having diagonal and orthogonal tile iterators but only an orthogonal tile area is not nice (tm).
18:00:04 <fonsinchen> Unfortunately I have to leave for now. We can discuss that tomorrow.
21:34:40 *** Alberth has left #openttd.dev
continue to next day ⏵
