IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2007-05-02
⏴ go to previous day
00:00:02 <mikk36> no 3dsmax nor games for *nix :)
00:00:36 <mikk36> otherwise i'd be in *nix...
00:00:41 <TheJosh> sorry I cant help much then. I guess you would get the latest from svn, apply my patch (i dont know of a windows tool that can do this, but they probably exist) and then compile (visual c++ ??)
00:00:41 <mikk36> propably using gentoo :P
00:01:17 <mikk36> well, i aint going to try it out :)
00:01:31 <TheJosh> im on debian 4.0 (sarge) at the moment, and i have a gentoo machine as well and a slackware server (and another slackware server at my church)
00:04:07 <TheJosh> gotta love remote access. im working on the slackware server at my church right as we speak
00:04:11 <mikk36> i have my xp, then server 2003 on a serverhost (server-housing)
00:04:24 <TheJosh> and worrying because my gentoo box has just had a harddrive failure
00:04:45 <mikk36> i had one failure too about a week ago :P
00:05:16 <mikk36> about a month and a half after buying it
00:05:27 <Tefad> i'm remote accessing my server right now, to IRC from.
00:05:35 <Tefad> it, however, is also under my desk
00:05:43 <TheJosh> i think its hdd failure. disks are old (2x 4gig) and now it cant read the reiser partition
00:05:56 <Tefad> but i can access it from anywhere, which is convenient
00:05:57 <mikk36> lost almost 150 gigs of movies, series and cd/dvd images :P
00:06:15 <TheJosh> i need some not 6 year old disks
00:06:30 <Tefad> i refuse to use maxtor for a while
00:06:31 <TheJosh> oh well, ill put them on the 'to shoot' pile
00:06:35 <mikk36> lemme check it's manufacturing time
00:07:03 <Tefad> heh, i have some disks like that
00:07:16 <Tefad> i think most of my machine's root FS is one some tiny disk
00:07:34 <Tefad> machines' root FSs. meh
00:07:35 <mikk36> the only reason i don't use it in my router is that it's loud as hell
00:07:55 <Tefad> so spin it down after bootup?
00:08:18 <TheJosh> power cord had come partially out, reiser is now self-repairing (i love reiser)
00:08:20 <mikk36> pfsense writes data constantly to hdd
00:08:27 <Tefad> what is your router doing?.. blah
00:08:39 <Tefad> make it write to ramdisk and sync once per day or something
00:08:55 <mikk36> m0n0wall can stop it, because it doesn't log etc...
00:09:01 <Tefad> or hell, usb flash drives are cheap enough
00:09:04 <mikk36> but then again, i like when stuff gets logged
00:09:09 <mikk36> latency, speed etc data
00:09:21 <mikk36> up to 1 year back or so
00:09:24 <Digitalfox[Home]> mikk36: I know what is to lost a hdd that you use for data, like movies, music, games, tv-series, documents, etc.. I lost a 160x2 RAID-0 = 320GB of data 2 years ago... Or on other words i lost everything i was collecting for 6 years
00:09:34 <Tefad> i think 1GB flashdisk is US$15 pretty much anywhere
00:09:50 <mikk36> Digitalfox[Home], that drive was in raid0 :)
00:09:56 <Tefad> Digitalfox[Home]: RAID-0 is a bad idea.
00:10:23 <mikk36> but it unpacked and copied data fast as hell :P
00:11:00 <mikk36> luckily i've restored most of the data i lost
00:11:18 <Tefad> 5 sucks for writing little pieces all over the place though (eg fast torrents)
00:11:22 <Digitalfox[Home]> Raid = 0 is not a bad idea, the problem was a hardware failure of the 2 disks... I received 2 new discs for that problem from + seagate also send me another 2 other discs has compensation.. So i lost the data and receive 4 new disks
00:11:48 <Tefad> RAID 0 goes down with a single failure.
00:12:09 <Tefad> it doesn't matter if both failed or not..
00:12:14 <TheJosh> the trick to raid 0 is good disks. disks are good for about 2 years
00:12:17 <Digitalfox[Home]> Tefad: Yes, but it was in my case the 2 disks that failed..
00:12:27 <Tefad> positive both failed and not just one?
00:12:34 <Tefad> the FS gets corrupted if either die
00:12:48 <TheJosh> you can do just about anthing with a disk in the first 2 years
00:12:56 <Digitalfox[Home]> well i did win 4 new 200 GB disks from segate..
00:13:10 <TheJosh> any serious web/serving company ditches there disks every 2 years
00:13:26 <Tefad> if they're using craptastic IDE, then yes
00:13:35 <mikk36> well, if a disk last, it will last long
00:13:37 <Tefad> quite a few SCSI disks have a giant MTBF
00:14:21 <mikk36> if it's a bad one, it will fail quickly under big loads for long times
00:14:22 <Tefad> also RAID 5 or 6 with reserve disks are extremely reliable
00:14:23 <TheJosh> when i get a new server im going to get probably 4 sata 320gig disks
00:14:54 <TheJosh> 320 has about the best price per gig at the moment
00:15:16 <Tefad> i remember when my 1.6GB was $200
00:15:22 <TheJosh> the 500s are still too much per gig
00:16:16 *** Triffid_Hunter has quit IRC
00:16:48 <mikk36> strangely, 320 ones have dropped a lot
00:17:09 <Digitalfox[Home]> My next upgrade, will be with 1 Terabyte disks on a raid 0 :)
00:17:24 <Tefad> asking for failure again ; )
00:17:56 <Digitalfox[Home]> But I'll wait a bit longer, waiting for the technology to age
00:18:11 <mikk36> TheJosh, where do u live ?
00:18:53 <mikk36> there aren't those damn EU taxes :P
00:19:06 <TheJosh> 1 Australian dollar = 0.8282 U.S. dollars
00:19:30 <TheJosh> wow our dollar has risen a few cents...cool
00:19:49 <mikk36> and how much is the cheapest 320GB Seagate 7200.10 offer ?
00:19:51 <TheJosh> 1 Estonian kroon = 0.087092841 U.S. dollars
00:19:58 <Tefad> more like the US is dropping.
00:20:30 <TheJosh> 1 Euro = 1.3627 U.S. dollars
00:21:06 <mikk36> 104USD is the cheapest here
00:21:32 <TheJosh> type 'pound' into google
00:22:00 <TheJosh> $155 for a segate 320gig 16meg cache sata-ii
00:22:11 <TheJosh> although i will probably go WD
00:22:33 <mikk36> so it's even more expensive there ? :D
00:23:13 <TheJosh> thats a good one though (sataII and 16meg cache)
00:23:46 <Tefad> sataII isn't the correct term
00:24:06 <TheJosh> but for only $165AUD i can get the top-of-the-line western digital 320gig one
00:24:16 <TheJosh> i know sataII is wrong but its easier to say
00:25:48 <Tefad> 3Gbps of raw data rate.
00:26:07 <Tefad> actual file throughput is something like 250MB/s burst
00:26:38 <Tefad> and disks don't even go that fast yet.. i think the fastest now is still less than 90MB/s sustained.
00:27:00 <TheJosh> That disk has a 5 year warranty, thats the bit i like (for my server)
00:27:12 <mikk36> Sata150 is 1.5Gbps but max transfer is 150MBps
00:27:34 <Tefad> 1.5Gbps or about 125MB/s
00:27:43 <mikk36> Taking into account 8b10b coding overhead, the actual uncoded transfer-rate is 1.2 Gbit/s, or 150 megabytes per second (MB/s).
00:27:52 <Tefad> and remember there's some loss when converting from bandwidth to transfer speed.
00:28:37 <Tefad> there's also protocol overhead
00:29:07 <Tefad> in any event, it is a giant mess for terminology.
00:29:13 <mikk36> but the actual max transfer speed (including overhead) is still 150/300MB/s
00:29:28 <Tefad> using bytes is misleading
00:29:45 <mikk36> it's what you get out of it
00:29:47 <Tefad> bytes generally relate to file transfer rates
00:30:36 <Tefad> i cannot count how many times people get it screwed up for network bandwidth measurements and file throughput....
00:30:48 <mikk36> that is a different story
00:31:03 <mikk36> here it's that 8b10b thingie
00:31:10 <Tefad> gigabit ethernet uses the same 8b10b.
00:31:17 <Digitalfox[Home]> So with RAID-0 and 2 Disks SATA 2, You almost get 200MB of speed/s
00:31:25 <TheJosh> i dont care too much what the numbers are, as long as the throughput is high and the seek is low
00:31:27 <mikk36> Digitalfox[Home], nope
00:31:40 <mikk36> your first would have to get a disk that would do 100MB/s alone
00:31:48 <mikk36> which does not exist yet
00:32:03 <Tefad> average will probably be something around 100MB/s
00:32:11 <mikk36> with sata1 and usual disks i got 90MB/s
00:32:30 <Tefad> sata-300 doesn't offer much at the moment
00:32:47 <Tefad> but with sataII enhancements, users can connect more than one drive to a channel
00:33:03 <Tefad> eSATA will be useful too.
00:33:13 <TheJosh> and there is also sata native queing
00:33:35 <mikk36> native command queueing
00:33:45 <Tefad> NCQ doesn't improve single file performance if disk is defragmented
00:33:52 <Tefad> it can actually hinder performance slightly ; )
00:34:04 <mikk36> defragmentation is never good
00:34:09 <Tefad> but in general NCQ is advantageous
00:34:17 <mikk36> and can never be fighted without defragmenting the drive
00:34:24 <Tefad> defragmentation on near-full disks is unavoidable
00:34:39 <TheJosh> dont you mean fragmentation
00:34:40 <mikk36> well, then just don't fill it up that much
00:35:05 <Tefad> also age of the filesystem affects fragmentation
00:35:11 <Tefad> appending to files, etc.
00:35:21 <TheJosh> although ext3 self-defragments (i dont know about reiser)
00:35:31 <Tefad> i don't think any file system self-defragments
00:35:36 <mikk36> isn't that in every partition in linux ?
00:35:36 <TheJosh> juts by design (because of the file cache
00:35:43 <mikk36> a feature of the kernel
00:35:47 <Tefad> ext3 avoids fragmenting..
00:35:52 <Tefad> ext3 is slow as hell though
00:35:59 <Tefad> NTFS-3g even outperforms it.
00:36:05 <Tefad> (that is, NTFS on linux)
00:36:21 <Tefad> it is possible to use NTFS as your root and boot disk in linux now.
00:36:23 <TheJosh> me, i like reiser. cant wait for reiser4
00:36:38 <mikk36> suse dropped using reiser
00:36:38 <TheJosh> does grub support ntfs?
00:36:44 <mikk36> and now defaults back to ext2
00:37:04 <TheJosh> how can you boot a ntfs partition then?
00:37:06 <Tefad> ntfs supports the hooks that grub uses to find block offsets.
00:37:06 <Sacro> you'd have to use an alternate bootloader
00:37:14 <mikk36> chainload to windows' boot loader
00:37:32 <Sacro> you could have an ext3 /boot
00:37:35 <mikk36> grub forwards booting to windows' boot loader
00:37:43 <TheJosh> i usually bave a small (< 30meg) boot partition thats ext2 so anything can read it
00:37:50 <Tefad> i'm saying use NTFS as linux root file system
00:38:04 <Tefad> oh, and boot file system
00:38:21 <TheJosh> i try to keep my systems compadible so i can restore them easier
00:38:23 <mikk36> though, using ext2 for windows is possible :P
00:38:38 <TheJosh> you can boot any of my systems using a vanilla kernel
00:38:57 <Tefad> booting from NTFS is pretty straightforward
00:39:03 <Tefad> but using it for root requires initrd.
00:39:13 <Tefad> since NTFS-3g is started in userspace.
00:39:40 <Tefad> however if you boot from evms, you're using an initrd anyway
00:40:14 <TheJosh> i guess if you wanted to be really compadible you would use vfat for your /boot
00:40:30 <TheJosh> then you could repair linux from a win98 boot disk
00:40:50 <Tefad> heh, is that possible? : x
00:41:02 <TheJosh> yeah, grub can read vfat i think
00:41:06 <Tefad> i use an ultimate boot cd for generic repairs
00:41:29 <Tefad> if i know i'm going to fix a linux box, i usually use some linux install/live cd
00:41:30 <TheJosh> basically if your bootloader can read it, you can use it
00:41:39 <Tefad> you mean the booloader writer
00:41:41 <TheJosh> me too, i have a LFS cd that I use
00:42:09 <TheJosh> depends where you put the bootloader. i usually install grub to the MBR
00:42:37 <Tefad> usually bootloaders don't even bother with filesystems.. they just have a chunk of blocks in a predefined location of the disk and works from there.
00:43:15 <TheJosh> but grub is a bit different, its like a mini os. my favourite feature of it is the command line (with tab completion!)
00:43:16 <Tefad> the OS is what has filesystem drivers
00:43:26 <Tefad> this is why i don't use grub ; )
00:43:51 <Tefad> lilo can be configured in interesting ways too
00:44:00 <TheJosh> but press 'c' and you have a command line that you can use to boot just about anything (if you know the commands)
00:45:51 <TheJosh> i have winxp on a secondary hard disk, but windows can boot from secondary disks, but grub has a feature that virtually swaps the disks, so in my grub.conf i have, under the windowsxp menu item, swap (hd1) (hd0), before the lines that make windows boot
00:46:30 <Tefad> (i don't use windows, so most of this doesn't mean anything to me)
00:47:07 <TheJosh> i usually dont, its there for movie maker
00:47:08 <Tefad> NTFS-3G is in active development and is even regarded as Stable
00:47:17 <Tefad> is that for transcoding?
00:47:36 <TheJosh> no i make movies your our church youth group, promotional videos, etc
00:47:53 <Tefad> ah. my friend was poking around with cinerella the other day
00:48:46 <Tefad> non-linear video editing
00:49:10 <mikk36> and what does that "non-linear" mean ?
00:49:30 <Tefad> it means you can overlap segments and the like
00:49:51 <Tefad> do rotations/effects bla bla bla
00:50:01 <TheJosh> im going to check it out now
00:50:14 <mikk36> aint that usual stuff in most video editing tools ?
00:50:22 <mikk36> usually called effects
00:50:36 <Tefad> i think most video editing tools are non-linear
00:50:45 <Tefad> the ones i use involve optimizing encoding
00:50:49 <Tefad> and they're quite linear
00:50:56 <Tefad> most of them are command line based.
00:51:00 <mikk36> well, encoding can be done using basic tools
00:51:05 <mikk36> for which i prefer virtualdub
00:51:11 <Tefad> those are linear editors.
00:51:26 <TheJosh> i like command line, except for a few things
00:51:47 <Tefad> webbrowsing.. media editing...
00:51:53 <mikk36> i'd prefer to call cinerella a video studio then :)
00:51:58 <Tefad> most things that involve only text.. i use CLI for
00:52:10 <TheJosh> i know people who hate vi, but i like vi
00:52:20 <TheJosh> although if i have a gui i use it, im not crazy
00:52:27 <mikk36> i just don't use it if i can use smth else
00:52:35 <TheJosh> actually vi drives my crazy, i like vim
00:52:37 <Tefad> i've not met a text editor that i could say i like.
00:52:46 <Tefad> in windows, i use crimson editor
00:53:00 <TheJosh> just make one (yate: yet another text editor)
00:53:05 <Tefad> i like its column mode.
00:53:31 <Tefad> i don't dislike joe enough to make my own.
00:54:03 <Tefad> and the only reason i don't like joe much is because i've not bothered to learn how to configure it via file.
00:54:23 <Tefad> i like joe.. i can use shift+arrows to make text selections.
00:54:59 <Tefad> but it doesn't seem to work when i'm using a text-mode console.
00:55:04 <TheJosh> i only know how to do about 5 things with vim (save, quit, and regex
00:56:12 <TheJosh> :w for save :q for quit :q! for quit without save / for regex
00:56:27 <TheJosh> n for next regex match

05:02:37 <mikk36> sry, i don't understand finnish
05:05:05 <ln-> those men say they were arrested for more than 8 hours beaten by the police for no reason, just for entertainment.
05:06:31 <Phazorx> must be really boring there... no TV in finland?
05:07:00 <mikk36> 8 hours is 1/6 of the limit of 48
05:07:51 <mikk36> beaten ? for fun ? no way
05:09:36 <mikk36> that "no reason" might have been resistance
05:09:42 <ln-> that's what they say, and they are germans besides, so they probably don't share russians' opinions about the case.
05:11:40 <ln-> also they say a lot of other non-related people were arrested and beaten for fun. but who knows for sure.

06:54:47 <elmex> hm, i've read that with the junctions trains can get lost because they have to turn left to turn right. i've build such a cloverleaf and somehow didn't get any lost trains
06:56:23 <hylje> you can very well have the route to right go from left
06:56:47 <elmex> 'Trains must turn left to go right. This could lead to trains getting lost. (Can be fixed by using waypoints).'
06:57:45 <elmex> i've build a lot crazy junctions and never got such a problem
06:59:06 <elmex> ah, so openttd handles train pathfinding better?
06:59:22 <elmex> thats goood to hear ;-) with all my crazy junctions
06:59:25 <hylje> trains are unlikely to get lost ever
06:59:29 <hylje> unless the network is flawed
07:00:45 <elmex> thats explains why barely any train gets lost inmy networks
07:04:35 <elmex> yes :-) there are some verey ugly 90deg. curves
07:05:00 <mikk36> (09:59:06) (elmex) ah, so openttd handles train pathfinding better? <-- that was the case in the original pathfinder
07:05:38 <mikk36> original that came along from ttd

10:08:17 <elmex> it's interesting, i've never really known the original ttd and i'm reading all kind of weird things as 'trains only make choices at two-way signals' ins the wiki which refers to to the old pathfinder - and now with the new ones everything is just natural
10:19:41 *** Smoovious has joined #openttd
10:20:43 <elmex> iwonder why servers often limit what you can build, eg. no ships and no air
10:21:09 <Rubidium> because ships, if not used properly, use massive amounts of processing power
10:21:11 *** Progman has joined #openttd
10:21:30 <elmex> i've never been successful with ships
10:21:30 <Rubidium> because aircraft, if used properly generate soo much money that it isn't funny to play online anymore
10:21:53 <elmex> ships are slow as hell and you have to set waypoints
10:29:38 *** SpComb is now known as hex09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635
10:29:54 *** hex09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635 is now known as SpComb
10:34:23 <SpComb> it's the illegal number
10:36:19 <SpComb> or actaully, part of it
11:05:15 <eJoJ> Rubidium : does ships use massive cpu power even with yapf turned off?
11:06:16 <Rubidium> when YAPF and NPF are turned of it doesn't use as much CPU power (I believe), but it forces you to add lots of waypoints (what you basically need to do to when you play with YAPF on)
11:08:04 <Rubidium> ooh, massive typo ;)
11:09:48 <eJoJ> hehe ;) I use waypoints from old habbit anyway ;)

16:03:22 <elmex> is it possible to close a company in a multiplayer game?
16:04:22 <Rubidium> from the console it is
16:08:08 <elmex> well, that function is only available to a network server :)
16:08:53 <elmex> i don't ahve the serer password :)
16:09:22 <elmex> i want to stop my own company on a server in the internet, the only way is to wait for bankrupt?
16:09:33 <Rubidium> or ask the owner of the server
16:09:45 <Patrick> demolish lots of water if you want to go bankrupt fast
16:10:14 <elmex> well, i'm already bankrupt... someone logged into my company as i forgot to set the password and let my only train crash ;-/

17:04:45 <Biff> however, is there any reason for storing unwanted news?
17:35:32 <Immow> is it posible to remove a industrie? :)
17:35:53 <TrueBrain> not without enabling cheats
17:35:56 <glx> magic buldozer (cheat menu)
17:36:12 <Immow> so this is only posible in single player?
17:36:34 <glx> be careful, AI can use it too when it's enabled
17:37:16 <Immow> so me and my friend play online
17:37:22 <Immow> can he load game offline
17:37:29 <Immow> then make it online game?
17:37:45 <Immow> he kept the game running for ages
17:37:51 <Immow> so city are all freaking huge ;)
17:38:16 <Immow> and the junction we want to build is 85 by 85 tile :P
17:38:35 <glx> with an industry in the middle?
17:38:47 <Immow> well blocking it somewhere
17:39:26 <Immow> this does not fit now ;)
17:42:30 *** acerbus has joined #openttd
17:44:35 <Immow> I think a new feature would be cool that you can buy a company and remove it
17:44:54 <Immow> if someone els als inside that area of that company
17:44:58 <Immow> he can ask money for it
17:45:07 <Immow> so if 2 people dont agree it can not be sold
17:45:20 <Immow> this is handy if something is in your way

18:28:51 *** dihedral has joined #openttd
18:29:01 <dihedral> have a little q for you
18:29:30 <dihedral> one player was able to build rail tracks
18:29:40 <dihedral> and then was not after that
18:29:50 <dihedral> first train available in 1946
18:30:45 <Rubidium> but he could build in 1935?
18:31:19 *** Rexxars has joined #openttd
18:31:37 <dihedral> station date is 20 feb 1036
18:31:58 <Rubidium> normal non-electrified station?
18:32:20 <dihedral> but now the rail construction window will not open at all
18:34:51 <Rubidium> it can only open when some player flags are set; I don't know any places where those flags are unset in-game so it sounds pretty fishy
18:35:48 <Rubidium> unless elrail is toggled on/off
18:36:07 <Rubidium> but then *only* elrail is turned off
18:36:42 <dihedral> if you feel like checking it out yourself
18:36:53 <dihedral> the company is still available
18:37:56 <dihedral> you are more than welcome to hope into the game and check it if you like
18:39:01 <Rubidium> let me guess, he has selected another climate in the main window?
18:39:25 <dihedral> it is hosted on a dedicated server
18:39:40 <dihedral> how would selecting a climate change the multiplayer game
18:42:07 <Rubidium> oh, never mind... I was thinking of a case where _opt.landscape might not be set properly
18:42:29 <Rubidium> but in that case he would've seen a completely different climate and desync pretty soon
18:42:43 <dihedral> there were 2 desyncs
18:43:00 <dihedral> and i had just joined
18:43:46 <dihedral> i try to run on latest stable and no grfs at all times
18:44:12 <peter1138> you try to run no grfs at all times? how tedious :)
18:44:26 <Rubidium> dihedral: can you reproduce the desyncs?
18:44:42 <dihedral> i would not know how
18:44:54 <dihedral> i only have savegames one a yearly basis
18:45:02 <dihedral> and it was 3 months in
18:45:07 <Rubidium> load an autosave from a few month before the desync happened
18:45:20 <dihedral> but to be honest in this version there have been more desyncs than ever
18:45:22 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
18:45:41 <Rubidium> 0.5.0 had much less desyncs?
18:46:07 <Rubidium> any chance of knowing in which RC the desyncs came?
18:46:11 <dihedral> at least i only very seldom witnessed them
18:46:24 <peter1138> mmm, scientific studies
18:46:49 <dihedral> before getting you enthusiastic about the desyncs
18:46:55 <dihedral> i run a patched server
18:47:08 <dihedral> but only in the sence that it runns more scripts
18:47:18 <dihedral> i.e. i have on_yearly.scr
18:47:23 <Rubidium> can you show me the diff?
18:47:35 <dihedral> they are in the tt-forums
18:48:24 <dihedral> they dont interfer with the game in any way
18:48:33 <Rubidium> doesn't look desyncable
18:49:11 <dihedral> they are only for admin purposes
18:49:22 <dihedral> nothing that changes the map or anything networkable
18:49:42 <peter1138> he doth protest too much
18:52:27 <Rubidium> anyway, dihedral which RC started to show the first signs of more desyncs?
18:53:01 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
18:53:25 <dihedral> 0.5.0 had a few desyncs
18:53:50 <dihedral> seeing as i only had the servers since rc4 that does not give a lot of room
18:54:08 <dihedral> 0.5.1 for sure thou has more of them
18:54:18 <dihedral> and i did skip 0.5.1RC1
18:54:32 <dihedral> so that rules out a few versions
18:54:54 <dihedral> no wait - i sarted with rc3
18:55:30 <dihedral> hmmm... let me check as of when i have the source code from /tags :-) that might actually help :)
18:56:31 <dihedral> ok - i have tags/0.5.0-RC1
18:56:47 <dihedral> so there is no reason for me to have that checked out if i was not running the server
18:57:01 <dihedral> sorry for the confusion
18:57:20 <dihedral> my servers were started beginning of feb

23:25:51 <Sionide> passenger destinations looks awesome..
23:26:02 <Sionide> anyone know if there are any linux binaries for it available?
23:26:09 <Sionide> i'm reading through the topic now looking for one
23:26:52 <Patrick> building it from source is much easier than finding a binary
23:27:07 <Touqen> That mod has had a bit of a turbulent past though.
23:27:38 <Sionide> seems to be picking up some pace at the moment though
23:27:58 <Sionide> i can compile stuff, but i'm not so good with using .diff files, any HOWTOs anywhere?
23:28:08 <Touqen> Sionide: There are instructions on the wiki
23:28:20 <Sionide> should have looked before asking
23:28:27 <Touqen> it's basically cd to the svn directory and patch < mypatch.diff
23:28:41 <Sacro> patch -p0 -i /path/to/diff
23:28:45 <Sionide> so should i compile the latest nightly?
23:28:59 <Sacro> Touqen: your way works too i belive
23:29:14 <Touqen> I would imagine the nightly should be sufficient.
23:29:22 <Touqen> or you can just get it directly from trunk
23:30:32 <Sionide> i need to learn svn properly actually
23:30:37 <Sionide> so i can use it in projects at uni
23:30:45 <Sionide> would have been very useful for the last one i just did
23:31:08 * Touqen recommends bookmarking the svn redbook
23:31:17 <Touqen> There's quite a bit of nifty stuff in there.
23:32:13 <Touqen> I just started visual studio with my new 2GB of ram
23:32:21 <Touqen> I've never seen it load so fast.
23:36:37 <Sionide> Fetched 48.4MB in 6m49s (118kB/s)
23:36:59 <Sionide> eww, visual studio :(
23:37:13 <Touqen> I <3 visual studio for windows development.
23:37:16 <Patrick> looks like an apt output
23:37:35 <Patrick> yeah, if I had to dev on windows and I didn't only know python I'd use VS
23:37:52 <Touqen> For python I used Eclipse + PyDev :D
23:38:08 <Patrick> I just use kate atm, or idle on windows
23:38:37 <Touqen> Hrm.. Exclipse doesn't seem to load noticeably faster though.
23:42:21 <Sionide> sionide@sphinx:~/games/openttd/svn$ svn up -r 9739
23:42:41 <Sionide> does that mean it worked, or didn't work?
23:43:25 <Touqen> I think it freaks out if you try to backdate a revision
23:43:31 <Touqen> err backdate an update
23:44:18 <Sionide> i'm now getting a "File to patch" prompt...?
23:44:42 <Sionide> svn: Not enough arguments provided; try 'svn help' for more info
23:45:18 <Touqen> Sionide: Are you in the right directory?
23:45:21 <Sacro> svn co -r 9739 svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk
23:45:53 <Sionide> do i need to be *in* the dir where the code is, or the one below?
23:46:05 <Touqen> Sionide: Have you downloaded the sources at all?
23:46:10 <Sionide> yeah the source is there
23:46:17 <Touqen> Sionide: from subversion?
23:46:31 <Touqen> because it won't work if you use something you downloaded from elsewhere
23:46:42 <Sionide> Updated to revision 9739.
23:47:50 <Sionide> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
