13:22:28 * roboboy folds out the bed and locks it into position.
13:24:11 <Belugas> mmmhh....that sounds so like... "ME TOO!"
13:25:30 <Belugas> but since it's 9:25 am, i guess i
13:25:38 <Belugas> better run for coffee
13:25:59 <Ailure> What about a highwa-...*shot*
13:30:55 <Belugas> #but i didn't shout the deputy
13:33:05 *** Thomas[NL] has joined #openttd
13:33:51 <Ailure> I loaded a random scenario with openTTD 0.5.0
13:33:59 <Ailure> or whatever it's spelled
13:34:14 <Ailure> one of the farms is emitting smoke o_O
13:34:56 <Ailure> the farm north of Hercag Novi
13:35:31 <Ailure> it looks like one of the silos is on fire
13:36:53 <Wolf01> yeah, new disaster, farm silo on fire
13:37:17 <Belugas> #The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
13:37:38 <Belugas> Ailure, can you provide me screenshot/savegame?
13:37:54 <Ailure> You can't just load that scenario with openTTD 0.5.0?
13:38:01 <Ailure> it comes with 0.5.0 too I belive
13:38:25 * Belugas only has trunk stuff...
13:39:02 <Ailure> alright, let me take a quick screenshot at least
13:40:21 <SpComb> I had a forest fire ages ago in TTD
13:41:04 <Thomas[NL]> same map near Prijedor which farm owns that farmland :s?
13:41:21 <Ailure> [15:34] <Ailure> the farm north of Hercag Novi
13:41:59 <Ailure> I know which dfarm you mean
13:42:11 <Ailure> whoever made the scenario
13:42:16 <Ailure> and then removed the farm
13:42:24 <Ailure> the farm does remove itself too
13:43:23 <Ailure> would actually cool if we could place farmland in the scenario editor manually though :p
13:43:39 <Ailure> or multiplayer scenario editing
13:53:41 <Thomas[NL]> since when had "data/" to be in front of you newGRFs in openttd.cfg?
14:04:03 <Eddi|zuHause2> it's funny, r9561 says "Fix (r9561)" ;)
14:17:57 <hylje> Eddi|zuHause2: recursive fix
14:21:49 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: maedhros * r9562 /trunk/src/ (command.cpp vehicle.cpp): -Fix: When cloning, pay for the refit costs as well.
14:38:21 *** Sacro|Laptop has joined #openttd
14:39:49 <TheMask96> damn... that will cost a lot of extra money :S
14:41:23 <hylje> i thought it was intended to not have refit costs when cloning

18:20:44 <Digitalfox[Home]> Hum.. This change on newgrf search and directory is messing my config.. So i made a copy of my openttd directory and i'm trying in that backup to understand how to put all newgrf sets working again.. So when i start it it gives error on all newgrf saying it's not found, then if i go to newgrf menu and add some, when restarting openttd is all gone again.. At least the savegame doesn't broke...
18:20:46 <Digitalfox[Home]> ...and still finds the newgrf it needs
18:22:56 <Digitalfox[Home]> Rubidium: Can you help me with this?? ;)
18:23:37 <Maedhros> are you running 9560 or 9561? cause if it's 9560, upgrade ;)
18:24:00 <Digitalfox[Home]> windows nightly
18:25:30 <Digitalfox[Home]> My savegame that i've been playing for a week now, still finds the newgrf it needs, but and can't save the newgrf config.. It just reset's after adding it to newgrf menu or config file
18:36:23 <Eddi|zuHause2> use the newgrf menu on the main screen
18:36:31 <Eddi|zuHause2> not in the savegame
18:36:55 <Eddi|zuHause2> when you change something during a running game, that does not get saved into the .cfg
18:37:44 <Digitalfox[Home]> Eddi|zuHause2: i know and what you saying is what i've been doing
18:38:09 <Digitalfox[Home]> I use the newgrf menu on the main screen
18:38:34 <Digitalfox[Home]> The is not my savegame that runs fine, is if i want to start a newgame

22:31:43 <Kander> Hey - I'm trying to get a development environment working on my machine following the guidelines described on the Wiki - it's not going very well so far. Anyone willing and able to hand-hold a relative new person to C, and at least get a first compilation run to succeed?
23:03:38 * mggrant imagines if you ask direct and specific questions, you have a good chance of getting help on those things :)
23:08:54 <Kander> mggrant: Alright, here goes: 1. I've decided on using DevC++ as my IDE. Step 1 of it's instruction points me to setting up MinGW. So far so good. However, installing MinGW according to the instructions fails - if I choose the 'Candidate' installation I get 'File Read Error - can not download', after which installer quits on me.
23:09:49 <Kander> 2. The instructions on Compiling_on_DevCPlusPlus point me to a website which is now no longer exiting for DirectX libraries - how can I obtain these libraries with the referenced url being no longer there?
23:10:32 <mggrant> hmm, afraid I'm a linux person, so can't help lots on those two.. :S
23:11:13 <Kander> For some reason I get the feeling that a lot of openTTD developers are from that camp - the docs seem highly outdated..
23:11:26 <Kander> (I mean docs on compiling for windows.. )
23:12:00 * mggrant has seen a bunch of windows talk here, so imagines it's not all bad :)
23:12:18 <Kander> Heh, remember any names of people that might be able to help out?
23:13:01 <mggrant> chances are you don't need an IDE too, though that can be a bit of a culture shock :)
23:13:35 <Kander> I have heard this weird talk of programmers in the olden days using nothing but a shell and their trusty kernel - but those are tales of lore long past...
23:13:43 * mggrant peers around the channel for anyone with a devC++ clue
23:13:53 <mggrant> hehe, make me feel creaky now ;)
23:14:00 <Kander> Even just MingW clue would be appreciated..
23:14:40 * mggrant did install cygwin on a windows box only a few months ago, but isn't sure that counts ;)
23:15:12 <Kander> Basically at the moment anything that can get this [expletive] thing to compile would be appreciated..
23:15:54 * mggrant eyes the linux install cd
23:16:30 <Kander> I've got this dinky Ubuntu cd thingy a geekish friend gave me some time ago.. :) I've been eyeing it a bit suspiciously for some time now..
23:17:52 <Kander> Seriously, I did actually install it on a secondary machine some time ago. I'll boot it up and see if I can get anything working there, if you'd be able to help me get something up and running there?
23:18:12 <Kander> glx: That's awesome to hear..
23:18:43 <glx> then you just need to get zlib, png and freetype
23:18:45 <Kander> Any hints/guides on how to proceed? The docs on the Wiki only seem to confuse me, instead of explaining what to do (considering half of the steps I follow end up in an error message)
23:19:49 <glx> the easy way is to use VC express 2005 :)
23:20:28 <Kander> Not going to walk that path.. I've tried installing some of the Express Visual Studio products some time ago... took me a reinstall to get my system somewhat clean again.
23:20:50 * PandaMojo <3s his Visual Stduio
23:21:33 <Kander> Only way I'll install VS from now on is in a nice isolated VMware session
23:21:39 <Kander> GLX: That's what I was looking at.
23:21:52 <glx> (you can skip directx step as it's not really needed)
23:22:28 <Kander> The first step immediately had me frustrated: "On the install, select Candidate, then select the Minimal install plus the g++ compiler." - it wouldn't install. Also, the ini file linked to wasn't a zip, so I was unsure if I had the right thing.. :/
23:23:24 <glx> I use stable version (not candidate)
23:23:56 <Kander> Alright - I'll do that then (was already wondering why the docs pointed to a candidate release.. but figured it would know best)
23:24:38 <glx> candidate has gcc 3.4.5, stable is gcc 3.4.2
23:24:48 <Kander> Benefit of which being..?
23:25:53 <Kander> :/ So what should I use instead?
23:26:25 <Kander> It's downloading and installing now
23:28:41 <mggrant> edit the wiki while you're at it too :)
23:29:12 <glx> hmm I must update mingw-runtime and win32-api it seems (new version available)
23:29:47 <Kander> mggrant: I'm keeping notes of what I'm doing, and will certainly write up new docs for the wiki when done.
23:30:21 <mggrant> good luck and goodnight :)
23:31:40 * Kander chuckles at the MSYS normalizing script 'Oh joy - you do not have make.exe. Keep it that way'. Nerds are funny.
23:33:22 <glx> it's just because there's also mingw32-make and this one is bad
23:33:55 <Kander> Alright - good to know. I'm reading the MSYS_WELCOME docs now, trying to make sense of it..
23:35:47 <Kander> What's an fstab record? :/
23:38:41 <Kander> Here's another dumb question: In Setting up for Dev-C++ it said we won't be using SVN. First step of that procedure was 'Go to compiling for MinGW and follow the setup steps there, then come back'. MinGW uses SVN in it's last step... should I check out the latest version from the repository, or just build from source the latest RC? (which is easier for beginners?)
23:41:28 <glx> hmm you'll need freetype-2.1.9-mingwPORT too
23:42:02 <Kander> (and more importantly: where do I need to place it after I've snatched it from the net?)
23:43:20 <glx> same as wget, zlib and pnglib
23:43:33 <Kander> Haven't gotten around to those yet...
23:44:55 <Kander> Do I need wget or wget mingwport? :/ (so many choices...)
23:45:43 <glx> migwport (follow the wiki :))
23:46:48 <Kander> Ah, right - thought your instructions were diverging from the wiki... you just skipped ahead a bit :)
23:50:48 <Kander> When this is all done, I'm definitely going to uninstall everything tomorrow and begin from scratch again - making sure I've got it all covered and then put together a coherent set of instructions for on the Wiki.
23:53:14 <Kander> Here's another: It says I should copy the files from the SVN zip to /usr/share... I figured out after some poking around that the unix paths mentioned map to my msys installation directory.. so far so good. However, usr is missing from there. Where can I find my usr/share dir? :/
23:53:54 <Kander> Err. /usr/local even.. my bad.
23:56:50 <glx> check /etc/fstab (x:\msys\1.0\etc\fstab)
23:57:58 <Kander> All it says is one single line: f:/local/mingw /mingw (f:\local\mingw\ is where I installed mingw)
continue to next day ⏵
