09:05:16 <TrueBrain> pfew, at least one person who is awake :)
09:05:42 <Zuu> Just waked half an hour ago :p
09:06:11 <Zuu> It's pretty late, 10:30 here..
09:07:48 <Zuu> peter1138: Yea how would you spell it?
09:07:55 <_42_> TrueBrain: 'waked' is correctly spelled
09:08:11 <Zuu> GAIM didn't complain about it.. :)
09:08:20 <TrueBrain> doesn't mean it has the same meaning Zuu :)
09:08:38 <TrueBrain> [11:08] <TrueBrain> !whatis waked
09:08:38 <TrueBrain> [11:08] <_42_> TrueBrain: Sorry, but 'waked' is unknown to me. Check spelling!
09:09:06 <TrueBrain> [11:08] <TrueBrain> !whatis woke 5
09:09:06 <TrueBrain> [11:08] <_42_> TrueBrain: [5 of 9] be awake, be alert, be there [ant: {sleep}]
09:10:15 <TrueBrain> I sometimes still have that when I say 'wake' or 'woke', that I have to say the 3 forms... ANNOYING ENGLISH CLASSES
09:10:51 <peter1138> also: "My apologizes", hehe
09:11:03 <TrueBrain> Firefox tells me that is how it is spelled :(
09:11:09 <_42_> TrueBrain: 'apologizes' is correctly spelled
09:11:32 <peter1138> yes, it is, but it's not the word you want
09:11:49 <TrueBrain> I had it without 'z' and it failed to give me an okay on it
09:12:18 * Zuu too, it lacks important wording for my Junctioneer-project. :)
09:12:42 <TrueBrain> We should all learn Dutch!
09:13:33 <TrueBrain> you don't agree or something? :p
09:14:48 <Zuu> TrueBrain: Why not something more exotic like lojban (lojban.org) they claim to have ~10 people that can speek it in the world. :)
09:15:47 <Zuu> And perhaps some more 50-100 who practice it.
09:18:31 *** dihedral has joined #openttd
09:19:24 <peter1138> now don't get me started on punctuation...
09:19:47 <TrueBrain> peter1138: which you lack of in a very consistent way? :)
09:20:25 <dihedral> i need to know if that letter for atari is ready to be sent now...
09:20:52 <peter1138> i consistently leave off the last full-stop, yeah
09:21:16 <TrueBrain> dihedral: you should ask Belugas; he will be around in a few hours I guess :)
09:21:34 <peter1138> i'm wonder who dihedral wants to be around Belugas
09:21:52 <peter1138> YOU! around Belugas!
09:22:06 <peter1138> whoops, i started o_O
09:22:11 <dihedral> i'm lost on that one... peter1138
09:22:15 <TrueBrain> and you are starting to talk gibberish
09:22:46 <peter1138> the ambiguity of missing punctuation
09:23:09 <peter1138> you around belugas could be "you! around belugas!" or maybe "you around, belugas?", but who knows
09:23:31 <TrueBrain> okay, if you read it like that, it is pretty funny indeed :)
09:23:38 <TrueBrain> Are you around Belugas? :p
09:23:58 <TrueBrain> Like he is some huge fatass person
09:24:16 <TrueBrain> haha, okay, I shouldn't try to picture this :)
09:24:34 <TrueBrain> anyway, peter1138, take your medicine :)
09:24:53 <TrueBrain> dihedral: no, he is on a spree
09:24:57 <dihedral> have some sypathy with peter1138
09:25:14 <dihedral> not just missing punctuation here
09:25:48 <boekabart_> I think this channel has gone offtopic this morning.CET ;)
09:25:58 <TrueBrain> Depends on what you consider ontopic
09:26:21 *** egladil has joined #openttd
09:26:31 <TrueBrain> how I see it: peter1138 is a developer, which is ontopic, and we are talking about what he is talking about
09:26:34 <TrueBrain> so that in fact is ontopic
09:27:07 <dihedral> TrueBrain: are you sure peter1138 is the only one in need of medicine?
09:27:17 <TrueBrain> :) We all need our shots
09:27:59 <dihedral> you nick just blends in perfectly there maad
09:28:12 <TrueBrain> and I like his contribution
09:28:15 <DorpsGek> bark bark bark woef woef grrrrr
09:28:26 <TrueBrain> you name is mad, maad
09:28:33 <dihedral> now THAT is offtopic
09:28:48 <dihedral> for DorpsGek that is
09:28:53 <Zuu> dihedral: Isn't TrueBrain also a developer?
09:28:59 <maad> in fact, it should be "maade" but sounds silly....
09:29:21 <Zuu> Though so, don't you got dev-status on forums?
09:29:22 <dihedral> isn't everybody in a way...
09:29:39 <TrueBrain> Zuu: possible... I have a lot of statuses :p
09:29:41 <boekabart_> even Sergej is a developer (of chaos and mayhem)!
09:30:27 <boekabart_> please no-one ever tell him about IRC ;)
09:31:06 <Zuu> boekabart_: Convince peter1138 that there should not be a IRC-link on the new Main Page then :)
09:31:34 <dihedral> peter1138: there should not be a IRC-link on the new Main Page...
09:31:45 <TrueBrain> why shouldn't there be?
09:32:19 <dihedral> have a quick question about dedicated servers
09:32:33 <TrueBrain> okay, very quick then
09:32:37 <dihedral> sorry for being slightly offtopic
09:32:37 <Zuu> boekabart_ didn't want to have Sergej on IRC, but perhaps he is to lazy to check the wiki anyway :)
09:33:01 <dihedral> dedicated servers report to servers.openttd.org - right?
09:33:30 <dihedral> would it be possible to ad a custom server to report to?
09:33:54 <dihedral> so that admins can have those stats on their own website?
09:34:20 <TrueBrain> admins can query the server of their likings
09:34:34 <TrueBrain> Anyway, for LAN events it is possible, by a simple modification
09:34:48 <TrueBrain> for other situations, it mostly is more useful to query the server yourself (as you most likely know the address)
09:34:56 <TrueBrain> and soon it is possible to query the masterserver via XMLRPC
09:35:06 <dihedral> ah... that sounds sweet
09:35:23 * Zuu only get half of the letters of XMLRPC :)
09:37:12 <dihedral> that was a conversation killer TrueBrain
09:37:33 <TrueBrain> dihedral: it happens
09:44:15 <peter1138> Zuu, do you think he'd understand the wiki?
09:44:39 <Zuu> peter1138: Would he even try?
09:45:24 <Zuu> More seriously, is the channel a place for developers or a place for players?
09:45:42 <Zuu> Perhaps the IRC-link should be more on the dev-side of the Main Page?
09:46:14 <boekabart_> there is another channel where only devs come i think
09:46:24 <Zuu> I was just lazy and added it where it was easy to add :D
09:46:29 <boekabart_> peter1138 sent me there once i vaguely recall
09:46:31 <peter1138> the supersekritdev channel
09:47:09 <dihedral> is just status and info sent to the masterserver?
09:47:44 <dihedral> or is the output from the command players transfered too?
09:47:58 <boekabart_> but i still don't know what the 3 letters in the other channel name suffix stand for. peter1138?
09:50:48 <peter1138> dihedral: most of the info is pulled by the masterserver
09:52:15 <dihedral> how is that information pulled? is there a way i could write a php script that would then execute rcon commands for me?
09:52:50 <peter1138> well it's not via rcon
09:54:17 <dihedral> but is there a way i could 'pull' info with php scripts?
09:54:43 <Zuu> Could be a 'to' that should be an 'in' ...
09:55:07 <dihedral> Rubidium: does that require autopilot?
09:55:34 <dihedral> is there a place i can read up on how?
09:55:51 <Rubidium> svn://svn.openttd.org/website/include/openttd.inc.php@9000 I believe
09:57:33 <Rubidium> or svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk/src/network/core/udp.h
10:01:40 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
10:03:27 <Zuu> peter1138: Last sentence under Development.
10:05:08 <dihedral> Rubidium: all the ottd.inc.php file shows is a mysql connection, defining constantds, and populating an array...
10:05:17 <Zuu> Hmm.. [[IRC channel|IRC channel]] should obviously be plain [[IRC channel]] ;)
10:05:53 <Rubidium> dihedral: I said openttd.inc.php _and_ gave you a specific revision number...
10:08:53 <peter1138> Zuu: i meant where on the page, heh
10:09:00 <peter1138> Zuu: but i guess that means i didn't see anything obvious...
10:12:16 <Rubidium> It won't be update when the network protocol gets updates though
10:16:02 <dihedral> that thing is really good
10:19:56 <Rubidium> no, it is a maintainance nightmare... 3 different places where the same functionality is coded in yet another language. Now there is only one version that is used everywhere, which is for (hopefully) obvious reasons much easier)

10:39:14 <Zuu> peter1138: I think I told where on the page aka under development.. but if you didn't see anything then it's probably okay. :)
10:39:54 <Zuu> Is the orange OpenTTD-logo available as SVG under a lisence that permit me to use it in other creations?
10:40:16 <Zuu> I'm trying to make a Manual-book :)
10:40:27 <blathijs> I would expect the logo to be available under GPL
10:40:46 <TrueBrain> I expect the same, GPL
10:42:16 <SpComb> not that the code is particularly easy to digest
10:42:30 <Zuu> I found it under media/ in the source-tree so forget my question about where to find it.
10:47:04 <dihedral> well - how about another command line client (in c) that will be able to send rcon commands or fetch data?
10:47:15 <dihedral> then in php that would be a simple system() call
10:47:33 <dihedral> or am i thinking too much linux like?
10:47:44 <TrueBrain> dihedral: how about you keeping the php-script up-to-date for us?
10:47:59 <dihedral> to be honest i would love to
10:48:26 <dihedral> but while i am being honest
10:48:36 <TrueBrain> oh, there is more? :p
10:48:49 <dihedral> i need to understand the network side of ottd a lot more,
10:49:01 <dihedral> but other than that - i would love to at least give it a try
10:49:02 <TrueBrain> you only need to understand a very small subset
10:49:12 <TrueBrain> and that is the UDP communication of the QUERY
10:49:42 <TrueBrain> the current php needs to be rewritten
10:49:47 <TrueBrain> as the design isn't that good
10:50:03 <TrueBrain> but if you feel like it, feel free to make such a php, or in what language you feel fit
10:50:14 <TrueBrain> and I promise you I will try to get it somewhere in SVN for others to use :)
10:50:20 <TrueBrain> (can't promise anything of course :p)
10:50:26 <TrueBrain> if you have any questions, feel free to ask
10:50:38 <dihedral> as i have in the past few months
10:51:07 <TrueBrain> people just want to do: $openttd = new OpenTTDServer("IP", "port"); var_dump($openttd->GetData());
10:51:16 <TrueBrain> and see tons of data, about the year, companies, players, ...
10:51:35 <TrueBrain> maybe with some seperation, but okay, I am sure you have enough ideas ;)
10:52:14 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
10:52:29 <dihedral> i was thinking along those lines
10:53:13 <dihedral> thou i currently dont know how exactly i can fetch the players information (which integer that is...)
10:53:26 <dihedral> in a few days i shall probably have found out :-P
10:53:47 <TrueBrain> the C++ file is pretty clear about such things
10:54:15 <Ailure> I managed to lobby someone in another project to use Squirrel as scripting language :)
10:54:33 <TrueBrain> SQ is pretty nice, you just need to fix some things in their code :p
10:54:36 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
10:54:37 <dihedral> i guess i am looking for an enum where SERVER_RESPONSE is at second place
10:55:12 <TrueBrain> src/network/network_udp.cpp
10:55:18 <TrueBrain> should be all you need
10:55:25 <dihedral> you really are a TrueBrain
10:56:17 <TrueBrain> and from line 254 it tells you what to send
10:56:22 <TrueBrain> (first was what to expect back :))
10:56:35 <TrueBrain> the networking code is a really simple system :)
10:57:09 <TrueBrain> euh, the first was what to send, the second what to expect back :)
10:59:42 <dihedral> what is src/network/core/udp.h
10:59:55 <Ailure> Imagine if people had to do that IRL
11:00:14 <Ailure> building severeal bridges next to each other as only one train can be on a bridge at a time :)
11:00:48 *** GoneWacko has joined #openttd
11:01:21 <dihedral> sorry - that was not suppoed to be a 'what is' but a 'what is with'
11:01:27 <dihedral> so let me put that out again
11:01:36 <dihedral> what is with src/network/core/udp.h
11:04:16 <TrueBrain> some indepth description of a single package. Possible outdated (comments tend to get outdated soon), and maybe Rubidium knows why it is there in the first place :)
11:04:40 <TrueBrain> ah, yes, to give a fast overivew which GAME_INFO_VERSION sends which reply :)
11:08:30 <dihedral> Belugas: are you around?
11:08:39 <dihedral> peter1138: that is better is it not?
11:09:37 <boekabart_> Ailure: image 2 trains behind each other on one bridge in real life
11:10:08 <boekabart_> or even close enough behind each other to BE on 1 bridge together in real life
11:10:47 <boekabart_> The rail networks in ottd behave more like (car) freeways anyway, not like railways.
11:13:38 <Zuu> And you need to learn the common pitfalls of SQ.
11:14:04 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
11:19:47 <dihedral> anyway - i need to head out
11:37:27 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: truelight * r9603 /branches/noai/ (8 files in 5 dirs):
11:37:27 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: [NoAI] -Add: added AIList(), a simple list in which you can add item/value pairs. You can sort them, walk them, and valuate them
11:37:27 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: -Add: added regression for AIList()
11:37:27 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: -Note: valuator is untested (and unfinished)
11:43:28 *** aj_ is now known as ajmiles
11:43:55 <ajmiles> hey, wonder if someone could give me a quick hand in understand something in the way openttd works
11:44:49 <ajmiles> i'm trying to work out the average speed a vehicle attains between two stations, i can calculate this in terms of "tiles travelled per day", how do I begin to convert this into sane units like the user's choice of mph / km/h / m/s
11:46:08 <ajmiles> it seems that a vehicle's speed is measured in some abitrary unit that equals 0.5km/h
11:48:08 <peter1138> depends on the vehicle
11:48:40 <ajmiles> for now i'm just worrying about road vehicles, but yes, they do have different multipliers
11:49:09 <ajmiles> SetDParam(1, v->cur_speed * 10 / 32); - is one line that caught my eye in the road vehicle viewwindow code
11:49:14 <Eddi|zuHause2> in the nightlies, that sould be cleaned up
11:49:35 <ajmiles> i checked out the svn source a couple of hours ago
11:49:37 <peter1138> well, there is the issue of tile scale, heh
11:50:19 <ajmiles> 10 and 32 appear to be the magic numbers for all vehicles, but i don't know what they do
11:50:41 <ajmiles> actually, trains seem to be * 10 / 16
11:51:24 <Eddi|zuHause2> 10/16 = 1/1.6 could be a km/h -> mph factor
11:53:39 <ajmiles> curious, this plane has a v->cur_speed of 477, but the gui shows 479
11:55:39 <Eddi|zuHause2> i did not particularly follow this, but there was some back and forth with "convert to mph in GUI code"
11:56:06 <Eddi|zuHause2> you could check the SVN log for that
11:57:09 <peter1138> heh, the game units are "fun"
11:57:35 <ajmiles> tortoisesvn appears to not show any logs back beyond march 21
11:57:58 <Eddi|zuHause2> you can change that date
11:58:07 <ajmiles> the days before that aren't available
11:58:38 <ajmiles> ah perhaps it was showing 100, just a sec
11:58:52 <ajmiles> it's downloading something fairly hefty, we'll see what we get
12:00:02 <ajmiles> there are some other really hacky ways i could work out the average speed, but i'd rather not resort to it
12:00:32 <peter1138> is the game speed unit relevant?
12:00:34 <ajmiles> (like, adding the current speed to a counter every tick, then dividing by the number of ticks between station visits, but that just makes me cry)
12:00:37 <peter1138> you just want distance and time...
12:00:59 <ajmiles> this bus is doing 12 tiles in 10 days
12:01:09 <ajmiles> but that does really mean anything until you have it in mph or km/h
12:03:07 <ajmiles> peter1138, looks like you or celestar made some speed related changes on the 2nd march
12:03:21 <ajmiles> "-Feature/Codechange: Changed the internal unit for aircraft velocities to from 8mph to 1km/h (peter1138), also give aircraft realsitic velocities (so that 1km/h is 1km/h independent of vehicle type) (peter1138)"
12:07:28 <ajmiles> it's all just a little tricky to understand what's going on here
12:09:21 <Ailure> [13:09] <boekabart_> The rail networks in ottd behave more like (car) freeways anyway, not like railways.
12:09:36 <Ailure> first thingh I thought on when i jumped from TT to TTD
12:09:47 <Ailure> "Hey thoose railway networks looks like highways"
12:09:58 <boekabart_> long time ago, how was TT different?
12:10:15 <Ailure> when it comes to networking
12:10:18 <Ailure> there's only one type of signal
12:10:54 <boekabart_> there was only the 2-way? not the 1 way
12:11:06 <boekabart_> right, then you don't get the cloverleafs and so.
12:11:13 <Ailure> otherwise it's kinda similar in alot of ways
12:11:14 <Eddi|zuHause2> oh yeah, i remember how i made one-way tracks in TTO ;)
12:11:17 <Ailure> but that made a major diffrence for that
12:11:33 <Ailure> it was like amazing that I finally could make somewhat sane railway networks :p
12:11:46 <boekabart_> Eddi|zuHause2: how?
12:11:49 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: truelight * r9604 /branches/noai/src/ai/api/ai_list.cpp: [NoAI] -Fix: set default sort order to value-descending for AIList(), as that most likely will be the most used
12:12:09 <Ailure> I should try digging up one of my oldest TT games
12:12:16 <Eddi|zuHause2> well, you just have to "convince" the trains [pathfinder] that the other way is longer ;)
12:12:20 <Ailure> I probably have rather atricious railway networks though
12:12:56 <boekabart_> what does atricious mean?
12:13:00 <Eddi|zuHause2> that, or use a station that is on one track, and not the other track, as "waypoint"
12:13:01 <Ailure> tons of 90 degree turns
12:13:20 <Ailure> yeah when I think on it
12:13:27 <Ailure> it's possible to fake one-way logic in TTO
12:13:32 <Ailure> it just requires more work
12:13:56 <Eddi|zuHause2> depots totally screw things up, so i switched breakdowns off
12:14:26 <Eddi|zuHause2> and occasionally you have trains reversing, that's also "suboptimal"
12:14:41 <Ailure> I also remember some fun things people did
12:14:43 <Maedhros> boekabart_: really terrible
12:14:49 <Ailure> oh god you can't order trains to depots
12:14:54 <Ailure> so you have to do forced servicing D:
12:14:57 <boekabart_> dictionary.com: No results found for atricious.
12:15:11 <boekabart_> atrocious: shockingly bad or tasteless; dreadful; abominable
12:16:03 <Ailure> and then there's the darned vehicle limit
12:16:24 <Ailure> I remember getting oil rigs
12:16:24 <ajmiles> and overflow of money
12:16:41 <Ailure> since there were too many stations on the whole map
12:17:02 <Eddi|zuHause2> yeah, i remember that, too
12:17:33 <Eddi|zuHause2> and max. 4x5 stations
12:17:43 <ajmiles> did it not have 7 length?
12:18:15 <Eddi|zuHause2> 7x7 was a TTDP addition
12:18:17 <Ailure> max train length was 10 cars+engine
12:18:31 <Ailure> and stations had to be a perfect square
12:18:34 <Ailure> train stations at least
12:18:44 <Ailure> which is something that would be hard to go back to
12:18:46 <Eddi|zuHause2> s/square/rectangle
12:18:53 <ajmiles> theres a lot in openttd you take for granted that you assume has always been there
12:19:05 <Ailure> and I like irregular shapes now
12:19:10 <Zuu> Don't forget about autorails :)
12:19:15 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: truelight * r9605 /branches/noai/src/ai/api/ai_list.cpp: [NoAI] -Fix: RemoveXXXValue and KeepXXXValue could cause infinite loops
12:19:26 <Ailure> only for diagonal rails
12:19:31 <Ailure> only becuse you can't drag diagonal rails
12:19:33 <ajmiles> could do with an autoroad tool
12:19:36 <boekabart_> autorails as in pull a stretch of rails??
12:19:46 <boekabart_> how do you not use it? too much time? :)
12:20:17 <Ailure> besides I use hotkeys to switch directions
12:20:31 <Ammler> Heya, is it possible to export the settings (GRF etc) from a save for a new game?
12:20:47 <Eddi|zuHause2> Ammler: probably not
12:21:33 <boekabart_> i have to get used to real. accell still, being able to make 45 deg turns and 'lane changes' for free
12:22:11 <Ailure> I love the new acceleration model :P
12:22:17 <Ailure> even if it's still a bit inaccurate
12:22:21 <Ailure> it's been around for awhile
12:22:33 <Ailure> even really powerful trains
12:22:40 <Ailure> would slow down to 30 km/h on slope
12:22:45 <Ailure> which was quite annoying
12:23:01 *** Progman has joined #openttd
12:23:11 <boekabart_> it's essential, it now handles a 'sharp looking' 45 deg turn as a nice curve
12:23:19 <boekabart_> since you cannot make those :)
12:23:19 <Ailure> Now I only see that happen if it's a heavy train which dosen't have enough horsepowe to maintain full speed
12:23:31 <Ailure> I usually disallow 90 degree turns too
12:23:38 <boekabart_> i'm thinking about making a patch that renders rails differently when in non-edit mode ;)
12:24:08 <Ailure> I wish there was a diffrence between electrical and regular rail
12:24:16 <Ailure> I only put electrical railway where I use it, but still.
12:24:26 <boekabart_> didn't use them yet
12:24:32 <boekabart_> when needed? to build el. trains?
12:24:35 <Ailure> right now they cost as much and is pretty much identical, apart that electrical trains can't run on non-electrified tracks of course
12:25:12 <boekabart_> anyway i think construction cost is too low, isn't it
12:25:32 <Ailure> I can imagine the construction cost of electrified railway should be double
12:25:36 <boekabart_> at least at the scale normally used (towns close together)
12:25:59 <Ailure> it's too low even at large scale projects
12:26:21 <Ailure> or maybe it's just that you earn too much easily
12:26:23 <ajmiles> a train travelling the distance of the map can easily make construction costs back in one train load
12:26:47 *** mikk36[EST] has joined #openttd
12:26:48 <boekabart_> i made a 2048x2048 scenario of the Netherlands, where 1 tile would be about 150 meters
12:26:49 <Ailure> It's kind of unrealistic
12:26:58 <Ailure> I see trains that pays back their... own train value
12:27:01 <boekabart_> then a rail starts to get more expensive than a train
12:27:08 <Ailure> imagine if that happened in reality
12:27:12 <Ailure> train companies would be really rich
12:27:21 <ajmiles> i would run a train company
12:27:30 <ajmiles> the bank would give me a loan for the train and i'd be sorted
12:27:53 <Ailure> Newbies are afraid to take loans
12:28:03 <Ailure> as they're used to the fact that loans tend to be mean in other games
12:28:20 <Ailure> even at highest intrest, it's still quite low
12:28:44 <Zuu> In the early years you'll just loan more and more when the maximum loan increses. :)
12:29:01 <Ailure> it dosen't increase when inflation is off though
12:29:14 <Ailure> I turn inflation off though
12:29:19 <Ailure> it seems to be broken in a few ways
12:29:32 <Ailure> also it's easier to compare profits
12:29:36 <Ailure> from now to ten years ago
12:29:41 <Ailure> when there's no inflation involved
12:31:02 <Ailure> inflation makes it more important on how much you earn
12:31:06 <Ailure> and not how much money you have
12:31:31 <Ailure> Company economics I had
12:31:35 <Ailure> I was told that money that is just sitting
12:31:41 <Ailure> if it's no invested in anything
12:32:20 <Zuu> I've taken 6 bolonga-points economy and 6 bolonga-points logistics at uni. :)
12:32:42 <Ailure> to be honest it was a rather basic course though
12:33:02 <Zuu> But we have not coverd inflation in any deapth. :)
12:33:49 <Ailure> sadly most of the example was like
12:33:55 <Ailure> seconday industries companies
12:33:55 <Zuu> I've also been told that if you don't do anything with your 'saved' money you havn't earned anything.
12:34:05 <Ailure> input raw-material output goods companies
12:34:21 <Ailure> which was kinda a shame, as most of the people who went there were IT people ;)
12:34:35 <Ailure> depositing it into a bank so you earn intrest
12:34:40 <Ailure> is considered a investment though

17:32:45 <Belugas> a whole lot of precious time
17:33:42 <Eddi|zuHause2> maybe "fund new buildings" should just instantly create a building or something
17:33:50 <Eddi|zuHause2> i.e. nothing with a delayed effect
17:34:15 <Eddi|zuHause2> (that would obviously be delayed infinitely)
17:42:40 <Wolf01> i've seen a "modified cost of building grf" in the Brianetta's server, is possible to modify the terraform and rail/road costs with a grf?
17:43:14 <peter1138> precisely what that grf does
17:44:11 <Wolf01> this is like "enjoy the power of grf!"
17:49:00 <Wolf01> too bad that grfs require to be decompiled and recompiled again if somebody wants to change something :)
17:49:41 <Belugas> it's not too hard to do, you know...
17:50:38 <Belugas> but it does require a bit of knowledge to get the job done, once decompiled
17:51:00 <Wolf01> i don't know, i never tried, but i'm used to change easily the settings on ini files or directly in the game... or code them if i can
17:52:13 <Belugas> not quite the same thing :)
17:52:25 <Belugas> but knowledge is the source of the power!
17:52:44 <Wolf01> i'm wondering if there is a way to set the day length with a grf
17:53:09 <peter1138> not even a hard way
17:54:36 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
17:56:44 <Wolf01> i'm wondering also why my daylength patch can't work well with multiplayer, if i set it NS the game desyncs always
17:57:02 <peter1138> well, it needs to be saved
17:58:24 <Maedhros> NS doesn't work, and should probably be removed
17:58:35 <Maedhros> if you use it, it only gets synced when the value changes
18:00:11 <Maedhros> Eddi|zuHause2: i've got a patch to use the "normal" growth rate values when you use Fund new buildings
18:04:25 <Wolf01> with town growth set to none, can houses disappear automatically?
18:05:46 <Maedhros> well, newgrf houses can if they are specifically set to (e.g. stock markets in ttrs[23])
18:09:46 <Wolf01> can i suggest one thing? i would like to have "Change setting value x to y" when double cliking on a value in the configure patches
18:11:25 <peter1138> well, for numerical values
18:11:36 <peter1138> oh, but it's single click
18:13:04 <Maedhros> should funding new buildings with town growth set to none be a patch option?
18:15:17 <ln-> german fighter down near interlaken.
18:17:11 <Eddi|zuHause2> where the hell is "interlaken"?
18:17:30 <ln-> in the middle of switzerland.
18:18:30 <ln-> the lauterbrunnental 10 km from interlaken is the place that j.r.r. tolkien visited in 1910's, and which is the inspiration of rivendell.
18:20:03 <scia> which tunnel there is the inpiration for Moria?

18:30:58 <Wolf01> how much the Brianetta's "modify costs grf" change the costs?
18:31:17 <Wolf01> i want something like terraforming cost x1000
18:31:22 <peter1138> it's pikkas, and not that much
18:31:51 <Wolf01> i'll try to make one for me :D
18:32:48 <Wolf01> there's somebody who can tell me how to start?
18:32:52 <peter1138> iirc a value of something like 0x12 would * 1024
18:33:56 <Wolf01> i meant how to start to code grfs :D
18:34:33 <hylje> oh why can the grfs not be human-readable
18:34:42 <peter1138> because they're machine readable
18:34:49 <hylje> which could be done on load
18:36:56 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: maedhros * r9616 /trunk/src/settings.cpp: -Cleanup: Remove the NS setting type since it causes desyncs in multiplayer mode and only serves to confuse patch authors.
18:37:24 <hylje> i probably could, but im not comfortable with c++
18:37:34 <peter1138> you would be afterwards
18:37:47 <hylje> although think a grf compiler could be done as an external tool
18:38:38 <Wolf01> nooo i missed the change of the hospital picture of the TTRS :(
18:40:21 <Wolf01> uhm, there is one which is still the same
18:43:37 <Maedhros> it's a bit random, so it should change within a few years
18:43:53 <Eddi|zuHause2> you need no C[++] skills to create a compiler
18:44:55 <Eddi|zuHause2> narf, now you got me started on lotr again, curse you, ln-
18:48:15 <Wolf01> uhm, i'm still wondering why is not possible to build a bridge along a slope... you can build tracks, wny not a bridge?
18:49:10 <Eddi|zuHause2> why build a bridge when you can build tracks?
18:50:05 <Belugas> big white flakes on my window
18:50:11 <Wolf01> because there is a road under
18:50:11 <Belugas> what an horrible sight
18:50:36 <Wolf01> and i don't have enough space to build in another place
18:51:16 <peter1138> Belugas: you should wash your hair more often
18:52:15 <Belugas> if only it was that :;)
18:52:54 <Belugas> it's not cold, between -1 and 1, but it's just... ugly
18:55:51 <Belugas> i have my leather jacket when outside. Does not feel cold. Not hot, but not cold.

19:37:29 <peter1138> well that might be a bug :p
19:37:46 <ln-> welcome to the english channel, bjarni
19:38:29 <Wolf01> or maybe is related to Maedhros new feature... the one i was looking at belonged to a "slow" city, and the other to a "fast" city
19:38:53 <Bjarni> btw I found something I didn't know we had in the country
19:39:15 <Bjarni> inside the main repair shop in Copenhagen is there a turntable with catenary
19:39:27 <Bjarni> it's not visible from the outside
19:39:33 <hylje> screenshots or it doesnt exists
19:39:55 <Bjarni> I will bring my camera next time I have to pass it (Monday)
19:39:58 <ln-> they are obviously trying to compete with us
19:40:50 <Bjarni> what it the voltage in Finnish catenary?
19:41:02 <Eddi|zuHause2> you have catenary in denmark? blasphemy!
19:42:16 <Bjarni> the security distance from a fallen down wire is 5 meters
19:42:41 <Bjarni> in other words: run away!
19:42:46 <hylje> the local traffic trains have a warning in them
19:43:03 <hylje> it forbids climbing atop the train when catenary is powered
19:43:14 <hylje> when it isnt its apparently ok to climb atop it
19:43:54 <peter1138> now that is fucked up
19:44:17 <Eddi|zuHause2> hylje: is that like: if it does not say coffee is hot on the cup, it is ok to treat it like cold coffee?
19:44:25 <Wolf01> fast forward on, autosave, fastforward widget unset but ff still on :D
19:44:40 <peter1138> Wolf01: still? hmmmm
19:45:03 <hylje> Eddi|zuHause2: its probably like "when coffee is hot, dont spill it on your lap"
19:45:22 <Bjarni> that reminds me of a drunk guy, who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. When people convinced him to go back, he was hit by the pantograph on a passing train ("only" 1,5kV). He fell down on the roof without being fried and they had to cut power pretty fast to get him down
19:45:25 <hylje> and spilling cold coffee on one's lap is likely ok
19:45:30 <Bjarni> he survived with minor injuries
19:45:59 <Bjarni> now that's an odd way for a train to hit a person
19:46:40 <Eddi|zuHause2> 1,5kV does not sound like a typical AC value
19:46:54 *** boekabart has joined #openttd
19:47:20 <Eddi|zuHause2> though most common DC is probably 500V
19:47:44 <Eddi|zuHause2> most german trams use that
19:48:25 <Bjarni> it's the DC system from the 30s that nobody found the cash to replace
19:50:42 <hylje> rubber tyre trains are indeed silly
19:53:30 <Bjarni> they are designed to reduce a noise problem
19:53:55 <Bjarni> I guess they have an easier time braking and accelerating as well
19:54:04 <Bjarni> however they get worn faster
19:54:06 <hylje> do they use rails as usual?
19:55:10 <Bjarni> also some train detection systems (most of them) relies of magnetic abilities in the metal of the wheels (axle count) or the ability to transfer a voltage from one rail to the other one
19:55:24 <Bjarni> I don't know how they solved those issues with rubber tires
19:55:51 <hylje> and use some other kind of detection
19:56:23 <scia> it are just normal car tires :p
19:57:06 <Bjarni> michelin tried to convince Denmark to buy a train with tires like that
19:57:08 <scia> they seem to drive between the rails instead of on them :s
19:57:27 <Bjarni> we didn't and it turned out to be good... they appeared to have problems
19:57:32 <Belugas> we have those kind of metros on tires in here.
19:57:35 <peter1138> looks a bit bumpy :p
19:58:06 <Belugas> nope... they look confortable :D
19:58:30 <Bjarni> <scia> they seem to drive between the rails instead of on them :s <-- look at the track. It appears to have two rails, one for the wheels to stand on and a higher one to "guide" the train
19:58:52 <scia> indeed, on a closer look
19:59:27 * Bjarni has looked at rails and bogies before
19:59:46 <Bjarni> I notice when "they look out of the ordinary"
20:01:21 <peter1138> heh, looks like the same units too
20:02:18 <glx> [21:58:05] <@Belugas> we have those kind of metros on tires in here. <-- of course they bought our system :)
20:02:27 <Bjarni> Do they ever get delayed/canceled because they puncture?
20:04:17 <Belugas> glx , are you sure it's not the other way around ? :P
20:04:37 <Belugas> Bjarni : not that i know.

20:41:33 <Wolf01> i must have a pcx file to create a grf or i can code a nfo alone?
21:17:15 <Bjarni> ln-: I read an article about a Ryanair plane flying from London to Denmark (Billund) and it dropped a part of the wing in the flight
21:17:47 <Bjarni> it wasn't a critical part, but still and since the story started with a picture of the wing with the missing part, they had to admit that it was true
21:22:53 <`Alex`> can someone tell me if there will ever be the smooth economy patch in the openttd trunk?
21:22:56 <Eddi|zuHause2> hm, i only understand about every second word of that article...
21:23:04 <ln-> Bjarni: things happen to all airline companies..
21:24:03 <`Alex`> or are you even considering that patch?
21:24:34 <Eddi|zuHause2> `Alex`: i have not seen any discussion about this
21:25:13 <Eddi|zuHause2> and it's probably not going to happen, considering the gamebalance branch
21:25:31 <`Alex`> do you know what that patch is about?
21:26:20 <`Alex`> it makes the industries produce more or less depending on the demand put on them
21:27:18 <Eddi|zuHause2> again, it's probably conflicting with the plan for the gamebalance branch
21:27:31 <Bjarni> <ln-> Bjarni: things happen to all airline companies.. <--- yeah, but more often to low cost airlines than expensive ones (go figure)
21:28:03 <`Alex`> i think the patch would make the multiplayer games more enjoyable to all players
21:28:27 <Bjarni> but the main issue is actually something else: we spent fortunes to reduce pollution and then some airline decides to more or less give tickets away for free to get more passengers
21:28:29 <`Alex`> there would be no industry grabbing
21:29:46 <`Alex`> the players rating decides if he will get the resources from that industry
21:30:38 <`Alex`> so if he is lower than the other players stations near that industry he will not get as many resources
21:30:57 <`Alex`> thats what the rating is all about
21:32:11 <`Alex`> the only difference will be that all the players would have to chance to compete at an already producing industry
21:32:53 <`Alex`> the more the demand (90% or more transported) the more it will gradualy increase in production
21:33:26 <`Alex`> or it will decrease if no one is using the industry
21:34:44 <`Alex`> there is also a sensitivity setting of 1<->10 that affects the production change over time
21:36:57 <`Alex`> balancing rules for future releases?

21:45:00 <Ailure> Me? I bought exclusive rights on a single town in a game, causing someone's whole network to deadlock
21:45:08 <Ailure> (He had lots and lots of trains long trains)
21:45:52 <`Alex`> when dissasters are enabled
21:46:13 <Eddi|zuHause2> `Alex`: it's the plan for the gamebalance branch, which has already started
21:46:43 <`Alex`> i destroy the opponets buses with my trains
21:47:30 <Eddi|zuHause2> i have not played a lot of multiplayer games
21:47:47 <`Alex`> or what something critical on his line is destroyed i quickly fill it with my own stuff and than he has to manouver around it if he can
21:47:53 <Ailure> You tend to notice the exploits much more
21:47:56 <Ailure> although I remmeber in TTO
21:48:06 <Ailure> where a bug allowed you to destroy some of opponents stuff
21:48:19 <Ailure> you build track on his road
21:48:27 <Ailure> and then you can demolish the road tile
21:48:33 <Ailure> that 'bug' was fixed in TTD though
21:48:35 <`Alex`> or build tracks around his stations
21:50:06 <`Alex`> or the most evil thing
21:50:22 <`Alex`> you give him 100's of millions of $
21:57:45 <ln-> how to differentiate f(ax+bt, by+at) when f is not known?
21:58:12 <ln-> or, we know that f: R² -> R, and partial derivatives is what we want
