⏴ go to previous day
00:21:41 *** Sionide has joined #openttd
01:33:12 *** UndernotBuilder has joined #openttd
01:34:05 <UndernotBuilder> so for when we will have a openttd:// syntax?
01:36:30 *** UndernotBuilder has quit IRC
02:21:52 <Belugas> stange comment, UndernotBuilder
02:22:02 <Belugas> too bad you're not there to explain that a little bit :S
02:26:46 <roboman> Ive heard of people talk about having openttd use a openttd:/ syntax for mp. dunno why. maybe to allow anyone to write a program that could easily join an mp game
02:29:32 <Belugas> i still don't kow whta that's mean :(
02:29:45 <Belugas> what is a openttd:/ sintax??
02:31:03 *** Eddi|zuHause2 has joined #openttd
02:40:04 <eJoJ> It means like a hyperlink, you press f.eks openttd://ipaddress.to.server.and:port and it automaticly launches the game and connect to the server
02:48:18 <Belugas> seems like a bit laziness to me :S
02:50:14 <Belugas> i hope he can find someone to give him a patch for that
02:50:23 <Belugas> as for me, going to snore

08:40:07 <hnsn> hello fellow ottd player
08:41:17 <Smoky555> where i could place scr files? such as on_server_connect.scr ...
08:43:50 <Smoky555> but ... if i change script before server starting, i need to restart server or not?
08:47:04 <boekabart_> Someone who knows the map array better than I do: I saw suggested in the forum (3 years ago), a type of tunnel that wouldn't start on a hill edge, but on flat land going down on the start-tile. Bridges have this flexibility (to start either on flat land going up, or on sloped land staying level), why not tunnels. Really that hard? Doesn't sound that way....
08:48:35 <peter1138> Smoky555: it's read whenever it's used
08:48:41 <peter1138> so you can change it mid-game
08:49:55 <Rubidium> boekabart_: it ain't much a problem of the map array, but rather fixing the graphics and pathfinder code
08:50:18 <Smoky555> peter1138 : ok, i make on_client.scr in scripts folder, i add 'say "Hello" ' into it. thats mean, that with new client server must say to all "Hello", isn't it?
08:50:18 *** egladil has joined #openttd
08:51:01 <peter1138> on_server_connect.scr does that
08:51:12 <boekabart_> Rubidium: how would it be any different for the pathfinder?
08:51:42 <peter1138> on_client is used by the client when it connects (and is fairly useless)
08:51:50 <Rubidium> because of the up/down penalties
08:51:52 <Smoky555> peter1138: yep, it's work, thanks :)
08:51:58 <boekabart_> for gfx, could be an IF (if land flat, take 'dug tunnel' gfx, if not, take 'old' gfx), for path finder no diff.
08:52:06 <boekabart_> train height code, same if as ^^
08:52:38 <boekabart_> up/down: right. Anyway, doesn't sound like anything that is impossible in the current map array, right?
08:53:22 <boekabart_> biggest advantage would be to be able to tunnel under sea, and slightly shorter tunnel entrance footprint
08:53:39 <Rubidium> no, but you need to fix 3 pathfinders and 2 vehicle controllers (I think)
08:54:08 <peter1138> adding features isn't fixing :)
08:54:29 <boekabart_> so i'd need to featurize 3 pathfinders?
08:54:51 <boekabart_> and of course the building UI
08:56:03 <peter1138> coming up with a decent UI is hard
08:56:21 <boekabart_> idea: copy from bridge ui?
08:56:45 <boekabart_> tunnel is now a limited version of bridge, idea is to make it 'same' . if you know what i mean
09:00:02 <boekabart_> as in: you know, or as in: i think that's feasable
09:15:14 <peter1138> as in, that's feasible
09:16:53 *** Smoovious has joined #openttd
09:32:21 <Smoky555> huh, does anybody doing something with transparenting in trunk? 9653,9655 from trunk, 9655 nightly,9673 from trunk - transparenting doesn't working (for houses and trees). configs generating with first run. local dedicated server, localclient connected.
09:32:35 <Smoky555> running local game - transparenting - doesn't working too ...
09:34:59 *** Sionide has joined #openttd
09:36:34 <Smoky555> all stable releases works fine with transparent ...
09:39:19 <peter1138> what in particular doesn't work?
09:39:51 <peter1138> press x and it behaves like it did
09:40:14 <peter1138> or use the transparency toolbar off the map menu
09:40:52 <peter1138> changes != broken :p
09:42:13 *** CmdKewin has joined #openttd
09:42:32 <Smoky555> ok, i see, thanks ... :)
09:44:31 <peter1138> actually i will change it so the menu option toggles all
09:46:23 <peter1138> otherwise there is only the short cut key to do that
09:51:55 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
10:05:15 *** TheJosh has joined #openttd
10:06:56 <TheJosh> Hey, what code-wise are the devels wanting the most?
10:12:31 <TheJosh> documentation basically?
10:16:46 <peter1138> make vehicles warp from one side of the map to the other
10:16:59 <peter1138> to emulate a 'spherical' world...
10:17:12 <peter1138> though it would be a doughnut...
10:17:23 <ln-> btw, ludde himself mentioned teleporting
10:17:33 <peter1138> yes, but he was shot down
10:23:02 <peter1138> that was for emulating bendy tunnels
10:23:16 <peter1138> but 'real' tunnels are deemed better
10:24:28 <TheJosh> so ditch this documentation then?
10:24:43 <TheJosh> we could just have the map scroll onto itself
10:24:55 <TheJosh> i am adding documentation tags to functions
10:25:13 <peter1138> well, i was jesting about the warp...
10:26:46 <peter1138> iirc farms used to be able to plant fields on the opposite side of the map, if they were near the edge
10:27:00 <ln-> has the ear ring bug been fixed yet?
10:27:17 <peter1138> no, nobody cares about faces
10:28:03 <peter1138> especially not the 'females'
10:31:27 <ln-> i know one dev who could care about the 'males' being bi.
10:33:40 <TheJosh> Hey In-, did you hear my patch got in?
10:34:49 <peter1138> ln-, yes, bjarni... he seems to have an obsession with that sort of thing...
10:35:27 <ln-> TheJosh: hey th3j0sh, i didn't. congrats.
10:35:54 <ln-> TheJosh: also, please switch to another font in your irc client/terminal.
10:37:07 <TheJosh> Thanks. it was all Maedhros really.
10:37:38 <TheJosh> What is wrong with my font? this irc client is mega simple, does not support multiple fonts
10:37:51 <ln-> you don't see the difference of l and I.
10:38:03 <ln-> and probably not 1 and l and I.
10:39:30 <TheJosh> actually i can see 1 from i and |
10:43:28 <peter1138> ln-, short for 'Lord kNowitall'
10:46:13 <TheJosh> ln as in the linux command for link?
10:59:33 *** lolman_ has joined #openttd
10:59:49 <TheJosh> Ok i cant help talking, meh, i have just made a documentation patch, does anyone want it?
11:00:09 <TheJosh> i was told yesterday they are useful or something
11:00:45 *** lolman_ is now known as lolman
11:02:32 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
11:05:32 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
11:06:44 *** setrodox_ has joined #openttd
11:16:21 <Eddi|zuHause2> talk to belugas, he is doing documentation stuff..
11:20:09 <peter1138> "Control cannot fall through from one case label to another" indeed :/
11:23:21 *** Thomas[NL] has joined #openttd
11:45:49 <TheJosh> Hey is there a function I can use to display a message on the screen or something for debugging purposes?
11:46:09 <TheJosh> like a messagebox style thingo, or a console message
11:47:29 *** Taikaponi has joined #openttd
11:49:12 <peter1138> debug("foo", "message with formatting %d", 42);
11:49:37 <peter1138> generally i abbreviate the function name in the first parameter, though it's freetext...
11:53:01 <TheJosh> the universe, life and everything?
11:53:05 <peter1138> example parameter ;p
11:53:26 <peter1138> it's like a printf, but with an extra parameter at the start
11:53:35 <peter1138> and no need for \n at the end
11:54:05 <TheJosh> i get an error: debug is not declared in this scope
11:54:18 <peter1138> #include "debug.h" at the top?
11:57:04 <TheJosh> ok heres a tougher one: how do you use the function SetObjectToPlace from a popup menu item
11:59:12 <TheJosh> it sortof works: i take a copy of the window handle in the proc function, and use it later, show thingo but doesnt call my proc function when the user clicks
12:00:03 <TheJosh> let me guess, you hate GUI code too?
12:03:25 <TheJosh> does that debug launch a window or go to the console?
12:08:06 <TheJosh> im trying to code 'fund a town'...now ive got to the point where it says 'cannot put a town here'...
12:15:38 <TheJosh> w00t...i founded a town!
12:18:07 <TheJosh> how do you change the current players money
12:18:09 *** Sacro|Laptop has joined #openttd
12:23:28 <TheJosh> no i am talking from a code perspective. I found a function to subtract, now I need a check function, because it made my bank balence -50million...
12:24:47 <TheJosh> while towns should be expensive, it should report 'you are broke' rather than just make you bankrupt...
12:43:24 *** Tino|R152 has joined #openttd
12:52:28 <Thomas[NL]> are there any train-tunnel-grf's for OTTD?
13:04:31 *** Frostregen_ has joined #openttd
13:04:41 *** Frostregen_ is now known as Frostregen
13:05:20 <Belugas> TheJosh : yes, documentation patches are more then welcome :)
13:08:53 *** Progman has joined #openttd
13:09:23 <TheJosh> My doc patch is currently part of another patch I created called 'fund a town', but ill remove those bits and give you just the doc bits
13:12:38 <TheJosh> Belugas: do you want the doc patch?
13:19:02 <peter1138> * This obviously only works in the scenario editor. Function not removed
13:19:02 <peter1138> * as it might be possible in the future to fund your own town :)
13:19:44 <TheJosh> thats what im supporing in a patch i just amde
13:29:16 <maddy> Brianetta: can you reset the server pls? :D
13:56:44 *** Progman has joined #openttd
13:57:26 <_42_> Belugas, Maedhros (~jc@host86-136-233-235.range86-136.btcentralplus.com) was last seen quitting #openttd 21 hours 50 minutes ago (18.04. 16:06) stating "Ping timeout: 480 seconds" after spending 6 hours 23 minutes there.
13:57:50 <Belugas> tht's awfully long time!
14:25:54 *** Maedhros has joined #openttd
14:30:23 <Belugas> how doyou DARE been away for 21 hours ???
14:32:12 <Maedhros> although it's exam season again, so you probably shouldn't expect to see me much until early June
14:33:43 <Belugas> real life is the best excuse ;)

15:09:55 <Belugas> whooo... no conflicts :D
15:18:13 * peter1138 conflicts with working in the summer
15:18:58 <SpComb> it's a fun place to be
15:19:08 <SpComb> depending on where you go
15:20:03 <Belugas> peter1138, there is an empty chair by my side :)
15:20:15 <Belugas> you're more then welcome to fill it
15:22:29 <peter1138> if i could work from home...
15:22:33 <peter1138> i could have my aircon pointing at me...
15:29:54 *** Osai^2 is now known as Osai
15:31:10 *** lolman_ has joined #openttd
15:32:57 <peter1138> japan landscape, iirc
15:40:10 <SpComb> peter1138: move to finland, it's a pleasant +4°C outside right now
15:41:09 <SpComb> although it was a rather warm 28°C on the 15th
15:41:23 <SpComb> that was probably measured in the (light of the) sun, though
15:41:39 <Belugas> never reached that this year. LAst time it was that hot was in last summer :S
15:48:28 <peter1138> WHO! HAR! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR
15:52:36 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
15:53:20 <Belugas> nice work on tropics, MeusH,by the way
15:53:35 <MeusH> thanks, I'm drawing sprites right now :)
15:53:49 <MeusH> if you have any suggestions please go on :)
15:54:57 *** TinoDidri has joined #openttd
15:55:05 <Belugas> don't want to influence The Artist
15:55:44 * peter1138 feeds MeusH something alcoholic
15:55:48 <peter1138> now you are under the influence
15:56:25 <MeusH> I'm having problems with pipes on oil station... That's one big spaghetti :)
15:56:39 <MeusH> but more alcohol will untie the spaghetti
15:56:51 <peter1138> sometimes my browser locks up :(
15:57:00 <peter1138> but it happens with opera, firefox and IE...
15:57:22 <MeusH> it happens for me when there is something related to Java or Flash (firefox)
15:57:23 <Ailure> It happens with msnmgr, explorer.exe and firefox here too
15:57:35 <peter1138> MeusH: i'm only on our wiki though...
15:57:37 <Ailure> well it's usually related to slashdot for some reason
15:57:43 <peter1138> i think i need a reinstall
15:57:51 <peter1138> but i need vs 2005 ;/
15:57:55 <MeusH> oh yeah peter1138 do you know what's up with MiHaMiX?
15:58:01 <Ailure> ok i'm unable to revive explorer.exe
15:58:15 <Ailure> it goes 50% CPU all the time, without starting. :/
15:58:16 <peter1138> no, what's up with MiHaMiX?
15:58:32 <peter1138> Ailure, heh, my control panel makes it do that
15:58:51 <Ailure> sometimes it helps to like
15:59:00 <Ailure> termite, start, terminate, start, terminate
15:59:09 <Ailure> until it finally starts
15:59:43 <MeusH> MiHaMiX is kinda gone and he doesn't respond
16:00:20 <MeusH> they want to have something like Scenario:Pagename
16:00:23 *** Tino|Home has joined #openttd
16:00:34 <MeusH> but someone has to do it
16:00:42 <MeusH> to find it in the code and modify it
16:00:50 <Ailure> you need to change the code for that?
16:00:55 <peter1138> would Category Scenario not work? heh
16:01:08 <peter1138> all the links in the wiki/html code, i guess
16:01:18 <Ailure> that's how it's done on most wikis too I belive
16:01:25 <Ailure> unless i'm misunderstanding what they want
16:02:32 <peter1138> well, i got rid of most of GFXDev:
16:02:43 <peter1138> but mainly because two of the pages in it were redundant
16:02:51 <peter1138> and *lots* of stuff that should be in it isn't
16:03:15 <peter1138> hmm, so you have to edit them there too? that's lame ;p
16:03:42 <MeusH> peter1138, that's the only place where it should be edited, I think
16:04:03 <peter1138> MeusH: well, what i mean is, that you *have* to edit it at all
16:04:19 <peter1138> i assumed just having the Foo: thing in the name would make it do the right thing o_O
16:04:32 <MeusH> you mean no nice user interface, right?
16:12:20 *** MeusH is now known as MeusH|afk
16:13:55 *** DaleStan_ is now known as DaleStan
16:14:53 *** TinoDidri is now known as Jezral
16:17:02 <Belugas> oups... lunch time started without me :S
16:19:30 <Thomas[NL]> what is this Peter1138/Towngrowth Challenge, will it be some game-mode?
16:21:23 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
16:24:20 <peter1138> based on korenn's old OCS version
16:24:59 <Ailure> I thought it was another name for offspin challange
16:25:14 <Ailure> (to be honest I forgot the name of the author of offspin challange :P and I never tried the 'OCS')
16:28:16 <peter1138> openttd challenge spinoff
16:28:23 <peter1138> openttd spinoff challenge
16:28:49 <peter1138> but basically, with newgrf cargos, industries, houses, etc, a lot of the changes can be done with a grf file
16:30:13 <Ailure> I seen the progress with newCargos
16:30:18 <Ailure> and the bugs coming with them :p
16:30:32 <Ailure> such as a temperate sawmill acting like the tropical one
16:30:45 <Ailure> eh that probably wasn't related to newcargos
16:31:10 <Ailure> A friend of mine thought it was a new feature
16:31:18 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
16:31:55 <Thomas[NL]> yea it happened to me :), suddenly there was a big square grassland in the forest :P
16:32:50 <Ailure> it probably would been intresting near endgame
16:32:59 <Ailure> considering how endgame in TTD
16:33:04 <Ailure> is with forests being everywhere
16:33:25 <Ailure> there would be holes of trees all over the map
16:33:30 *** Osai^2 is now known as Osai
16:35:25 <peter1138> yeah, nothing to do with newcargos that :p
16:36:59 <Wolf01> i thought it was fixed by Belugas
16:37:02 <Ailure> although I think the temperate forests feels kinda stupid
16:37:26 <Wolf01> yeah, they are always the same... boring
16:37:39 <Ailure> It feels like a unatural 'squarish' forest
16:37:55 <Wolf01> what about industries on slopes?
16:38:17 <Ailure> industries on slopes looks nice :)
16:38:20 <Wolf01> ttdpatch has them for a long time
16:38:29 <Ailure> but I wonder if they could have problems with the terragenesis generator
16:39:23 <Wolf01> why? they are always the same, only they can be built on slopes and the graphics will change to look better
16:40:05 <Ailure> look at the end of that page with the industry going up three tiles of slope
16:40:15 <Ailure> a smooth terragenesis map might not have many of thoose slopes
16:40:48 <Wolf01> you can always terraform a slope when placing the industry
16:41:04 <Ailure> rough have a few of them though
16:41:08 <Ailure> and very roguh should have a few
16:41:17 <Ailure> but I was mainly concerned with randomly placed ones
16:41:37 *** BobingAbout has joined #openttd
16:41:48 <Wolf01> now if the terragenesis want to place a forest in a rough area it terraform it, i've seen it with my eyes
16:42:28 <Ailure> I seen some automatic terraforming with industry placement
16:42:50 <Ailure> sometimes bit unecessary as I seen it when I place industry and it flattens a area that the industry dosen't even build on
16:43:00 <Wolf01> i saw also the castle for tourist cargo, i like the idea to place things on particular terrain configurations
16:43:36 <Ailure> Kinda funny how it's a industry too :p
16:43:43 <Ailure> Sure, there's a such thing as tourist industry
16:47:05 <Wolf01> what about the ship improvement we talked about yesterday?
16:52:03 <sai> hello guys, I just try to make a friend like openttd, but he can't start it, because of the error "too many sprites". I read something about "onloading the grf-stuff", but how to do that? environment is windows... any help?
16:54:25 <Wolf01> which triassic version is he using?
16:55:37 <sai> it is probably the recent open ttd rc-3
16:55:41 <Belugas> synonim for dinosaur-age version :)
16:55:49 <Wolf01> when dinosaurs ruled the world :P
16:55:58 <glx> he probably tries to load unneeded grfs
16:56:26 <sai> so is it enough to just delete some from the folder where he put some grf-files?
16:56:34 <glx> I mean grfs that do not work in 0.5.x
16:56:48 <sai> so he should delete all grf-files?
16:57:01 <Belugas> sai, maybe he cold try the nightlies
16:57:04 <glx> what grfs does he use now?
16:57:18 <Ailure> I wouldn't recomend too many GRF's for newbies anyway :p
16:57:36 <sai> he put these files in his folder: sample.cat
16:57:59 <glx> needed ttd files so it's ok
16:58:04 *** Kittysune has joined #openttd
16:58:05 <Kittysune> I seen people hauling coal with... that railcar in the UKRS set.
16:58:25 <Kittysune> [18:56] <Ailure> I wouldn't recomend too many GRF's for newbies anyway :p
16:58:25 <Kittysune> [18:56] <Ailure> some trainsets are like, much more advanced than the orginal trains
16:58:25 <Kittysune> [18:56] <Ailure> not that I mind, but it can be little confusing for some.
16:58:35 <sai> so what is the problem then?
16:58:47 *** Kittysune is now known as Ailure
16:58:51 <sai> he did nothing else than to install the game and to cpoy these files...
16:59:53 <glx> sai: using default openttd.cfg?
17:00:24 <sai> well , I have never heard of an openttd-cfg, and he didnt play or had this game before, so I guess it will be the default.
17:05:02 <Thomas[NL]> can't Invisible Trees (with transparent buildings) be removed out of the Patches in the nightlies now we have Transparency options?
17:06:04 <Wolf01> i might put them in the gui
17:18:29 *** Thomas[NL] has joined #openttd
17:18:59 <Eddi|zuHause2> how would you make a 3-way-switch-button (full/transparen/invisible) in the GUI?
17:24:00 <Thomas[NL]> what TerraGenesis settings are you using most of the time?
17:30:30 <Maedhros> i wonder why it's always the people who write perfect english that apologise
17:30:46 <Maedhros> and it's usually the english people who write incomprehensible stuff
17:35:21 <Eddi|zuHause2> Wolf01: what about this: www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~krause/ships.txt
17:37:16 <Eddi|zuHause2> Maedhros: because those native english speakers never experienced how hard it is to talk in a foreign language
17:44:30 <Thomas[NL]> Eddi|zuHause2, I like the shipping routes idea
17:44:33 * peter1138 returns from 'watering' the weeds
17:46:04 <peter1138> evilly supplying them with roundup
17:46:28 <Wolf01> Eddi|zuHause2, nice, but i can't understand how a route couldn't have more than one corner, if there is a b^b where ^ is a peninsulae and b the buoy, you have to put a buoy in the bit of the peninsulae?
17:46:45 <Wolf01> (tell me if you can't undertand me :D)
17:47:09 <Eddi|zuHause2> Wolf01: the more corners you allow, the more difficult the in-between pathfinding and the route-creating will be
17:47:18 <Eddi|zuHause2> if you have a peninsula, just build more buoys
17:47:22 <Thomas[NL]> what is a peninsulae??....
17:48:22 <Eddi|zuHause2> a land edge that sticks into the water...
17:49:35 <Belugas> peter1138, the gardener :)
17:49:50 <peter1138> the bindweed is coming back
17:49:58 * Belugas imagines a hat, with flowers, gardening gloves and all...
17:50:00 <peter1138> so getting it while it's young...
17:50:48 <Belugas> last time i checked, no need for water. just some snow shoveling :)
17:51:56 * Maedhros doesn't have a garden, although our tenancy agreement says we have to tend it ;)
17:52:27 <peter1138> although... blurry photo
17:53:13 <Eddi|zuHause2> a propos weeds... i should go watch it...
17:54:23 <Belugas> good growth so far :) green thumb sir

17:54:58 <peter1138> the holy and the shrub were there already
17:55:05 <peter1138> they are starting to show up now though
17:55:27 <peter1138> that lot was planted a week and a half ago
17:58:14 <Belugas> that was how it looked in here about a week ago
17:58:27 <Thomas[NL]> peter1138, transparent buildings just toggles transparency of buildables here
17:59:48 <Thomas[NL]> OpenTTD: peter1138 * r9677 /trunk/src/main_gui.cpp: -Codechange: Make the 'transparent buildings' menu item toggle all transparency, to keep its old behaviour., using it now toggles the transparency of "buildables" like stations, depots etc here
18:00:08 <peter1138> it remembers what you had selected as transparent
18:01:01 <Wolf01> why are you keeping that option?
18:01:02 <peter1138> but it matches what it used to do
18:01:22 <peter1138> because i like it :p
18:01:53 <Thomas[NL]> oops, In was still using r9676
18:02:27 <Wolf01> if you want i have a patch to toggle the "remember the selected transparent options" with a nice gui button
18:02:47 <peter1138> yeah, i might add that
18:04:24 <Maedhros> wouldn't it be better to save the setting so you don't have to change it every time you start the game?
18:04:50 <Thomas[NL]> imho, the gui & patches need a little clean up, there are a couple of buttons and options that are not needed any more
18:05:08 <Belugas> ha.. we have a volunteer for the cleanup!
18:05:16 <peter1138> Maedhros: yeah, will at some point
18:09:49 <Thomas[NL]> I, can make of list of proposed changes but I don't think I'll be able to code any of it
18:10:47 <Belugas> can start by a list...
18:11:31 <peter1138> Thomas[NL]: there is more to helping a project than coding :)
18:11:37 <Eddi|zuHause2> the most important imho is to clean up or split the vehicles patch page
18:11:49 <Eddi|zuHause2> it is way too crowded
18:11:54 <peter1138> the multiple pathfinder selections!
18:12:01 <peter1138> are we ready to ditch npf yet?
18:14:03 <Eddi|zuHause2> and in the long term, make some patch settings into difficulty settings, the rest into game options
18:23:51 <Thomas[NL]> what is currently considered to be the "stable" pathfinder?

19:33:03 *** boekabart has left #openttd
20:16:08 <Thomas[NL]> what was that site where you can upload text or code?
20:17:24 *** Digitalfox[Home] has joined #openttd
20:29:42 *** antichaos has joined #openttd
20:46:30 *** dihedral has joined #openttd
20:47:35 <dihedral> anybody here know something about the status of the loading stuff
20:47:43 <dihedral> i.e. trains at stations
20:48:11 <Eddi|zuHause2> can you be any less specific?
20:48:22 <dihedral> sure - anybody here know something
20:48:34 <dihedral> well - 2 trains at one station...
20:48:50 <dihedral> you dont know anything Eddi|zuHause2 ?
20:49:02 <Eddi|zuHause2> "improved loading" does not do well with "gradual loading"
20:49:03 <dihedral> only one train at a time can load
20:49:19 <lolman> dihedral: what Eddi said :P
20:49:22 <dihedral> so - which one would you advise me to turn off
20:49:46 <Eddi|zuHause2> depends, gradual loading is more realistic, also it reduces loading times for long trains
20:50:17 <dihedral> i found nothing on improved loading on the openttd.cfg wiki page
20:50:23 * lolman reminds self to install OTTD again when he hits a GUI
20:50:27 <Eddi|zuHause2> improved loading can help you when you have not-so-busy stations, where max. 2 trains arrive simultaneously
20:50:59 <dihedral> what is it's behaviour over normal loading
20:51:24 <Eddi|zuHause2> normal loading = all trains get the same amount of cargo
20:51:38 <Eddi|zuHause2> so you might end up with two half-full trains
20:52:26 <dihedral> and improved only loads one train at a time?
20:52:28 <Eddi|zuHause2> improved loading = only one train gets cargo, until it is full
20:52:47 <Eddi|zuHause2> which was fine, as long as cargo was loaded instantly
20:52:59 <dihedral> to avoid 3 semi full trains at one station waiting for more
20:53:19 <Eddi|zuHause2> because then the remaining cargo could be distributed among the other trains
20:53:49 <Eddi|zuHause2> but with gradual loading, you cannot easily decide, how much cargo is "remaining"
20:54:06 *** Sionide has joined #openttd
20:54:18 <Eddi|zuHause2> or rather, that check was never implemented
20:54:20 <dihedral> so an "either or" is what i am looking for, right?
20:55:10 <Rubidium> huh? what are you talking about?
20:55:11 <dihedral> i heard a rumor of the entire loading algorithm needing to be redone...
20:55:32 *** Ammller has joined #openttd
20:55:38 <dihedral> is that being done or is that just an uninteresting rumor
20:55:47 <Rubidium> well, the loading algorithms are ok; only some of the lookup related parts aren't
20:56:47 <Rubidium> like for improved loading it iterates over all vehicles to check whether the 'current' train is the 'first' train in the station
20:57:46 <Rubidium> so the loading algorithms are basically O(n^2), where n is the number of vehicles in the game (including shadows, rotors and wagons)
20:58:34 <Rubidium> it would be much better when the algorithms become O(m), where m is the number of trains (front engines at the 'current' station)
20:58:49 <Eddi|zuHause2> <Rubidium> huh? what are you talking about? <- if there are 200 goods at a station, and two trains with capacity of 100 arrive, improved loading will prevent the second train from loading, even though the cargo suffices to fill the first train (but it takes a while with gradual loading)
20:59:50 <Rubidium> I thought that was already implemented
21:00:17 <Eddi|zuHause2> not to my knowlege... but i did not really test
21:00:43 *** KUDr_wrk has joined #openttd
21:00:47 <Maedhros> and trying to add it to the current improved loading would probably cause it to explode
21:01:22 <Rubidium> anyway, the major problem of improved loading and gradual loadin together is their time complexity, which is fairly easy to fix in-game, but the saveload code for that is quite ugly
21:04:13 <Rubidium> it also makes loading FIFO
21:05:56 <peter1138> why does it need saving?
21:06:30 *** re06011988 has joined #openttd
21:06:39 *** re06011988 has left #openttd
21:08:45 <dihedral> if that is what needs doing, will it be included some time soon(ish)
21:09:06 <dihedral> there is supposed to be a questionmark at the end of that last sentance :-)
21:10:05 <Rubidium> well, if somebody comes up with a way to the current savegame hack
21:12:46 <peter1138> or maybe not generic :/
21:17:25 <Eddi|zuHause2> shouldn't that stuff be saved with the station data?
21:18:06 <Eddi|zuHause2> ah, so you mean a vehicle list in the station stuff
21:18:47 <Rubidium> not-generic would be easiest I guess
21:19:42 <dihedral> in openttd.cfg, what is 'selectgoods' ?
21:19:49 <peter1138> well, can we we runtime determine the type?
21:20:07 <dihedral> not specified on the wiki under openttd.cfg
21:20:23 <peter1138> src/variables.h: bool selectgoods; // only send the goods to station if a train has been there
21:20:34 <Rubidium> peter1138: not really
21:20:53 <Rubidium> because we need to pass std::list<Vehicle*> and such
21:20:57 *** Sacro|Laptop has joined #openttd
21:27:48 <Rubidium> the major problem is that the saveload code assumes constant sized SaveLoad's, i.e. a variably sized list cannot be in a SaveLoad.
21:27:49 * Sacro|Laptop moves all flammable objects away from peter1138
21:58:33 <ln-> what useful could one do with two identical Celeron 2.13GHz machines? (besides running distcc)
21:59:13 <Rubidium> starting a beowulf cluster
21:59:41 <ln-> peter1138: i don't own them yet, so not possible
22:00:46 <ln-> what can one do with a beowulf cluster, and is two machines enough for something sensible?

22:40:12 <peter1138> it's a SL_LST type that will save/load any existing REF_ type
22:40:33 <peter1138> and it's horrible, but at least it's more generic ;)
22:41:06 <peter1138> first is just saveload
