04:20:44 <strstrep> Hey, I have a question. How do I replace a bunch of trams that I have gathered in a depot?
04:20:51 <strstrep> Is there an automatic way to do that?
04:24:38 <strstrep> I can't seem to figure out how it works.
04:26:51 <strstrep> I can't believe I didn't see that. I must be blind.
04:34:13 <Digitalfox> TrueBrain: I tested the savegame from FS#838 and it crashes with me also just by zooming out, using last nightly... :\

05:51:28 <Phazorx> hmm... why would MU game with 24 wehicles lag?

10:49:04 <stillunknown> Anyone know were the size of a tile is defined?
10:51:44 <Noldo> size as in the amount of memory it takes to store one?
10:53:09 <stillunknown> Noldo: actually im looking for the relation between dpi and tiles
10:53:23 <Eddi|zuHause2> map.h:143: TILE_SIZE = 16, ///< Tiles are 16x16 "units" in size
10:53:32 <Eddi|zuHause2> if that is what you search for
10:54:13 <stillunknown> Actually, i think TILE_PIXELS is what i search
11:02:35 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
11:45:20 <stillunknown> Can i assume that the compiler will optimize (x/32) << 8 to x << 3?
11:45:32 <stillunknown> assuming that 32 and 8 are not variables
11:46:12 <Eddi|zuHause> i would expect that, yes
11:47:18 <Eddi|zuHause> use / for any arithmetic calculations, and << only if you do bitshifting
11:49:49 <stillunknown> My problem is this: i was looking at that hash_map patch, some parts made no sense.
11:50:25 <stillunknown> Until i found out that some of the bitshifting included values related to TILE_SIZE and TILE_PIXELS
11:50:31 <skidd13> Is there a function to get the next tile by a DiagDirection param?
11:51:56 <stillunknown> so (y/TILE_SIZE) << HASH_BITS is a lot more clear to me, then y << (HASH_BITS - 4)
11:52:08 <stillunknown> As far as i know it should optimize this.
11:52:20 <stillunknown> Since 16 and 32 are magnitudes of 2.
11:52:57 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, prefer the version that is clear to the reader
11:54:00 <Eddi|zuHause> especially if someone gets the weird idea of changing TILE_SIZE :)
11:54:32 <stillunknown> I just want to get this patch into trunk, because i feel a language barrier is keeping the author from doing it.
11:54:44 <stillunknown> But i do have to understand the patch ;-)
11:55:14 <Eddi|zuHause> replace one language barrier by another :p
11:55:38 <stillunknown> I can see by the code that the guy knows what he is doing, but his english seems poor.
11:55:57 <stillunknown> Like filling interests: yes in his profile.
11:56:15 <stillunknown> "interests: yes"
11:56:47 <Eddi|zuHause> it might be like in austin powers: "sex: yes, please" :p
11:58:35 <stillunknown> You know what i mean.
11:58:46 <stillunknown> It's not just that.

12:44:38 <Dego> can some1 explain how to do that tihng with truck that they drive only 1 block and u get money?
12:58:07 <geoffk> is there a way to set autoclean_companies so it only deletes unprotected (without passord set) companies?
12:59:17 <glx> autoclean_companies only delete unprotected ones
12:59:29 <geoffk> seems not to be the case for me
13:00:09 <glx> there's another setting that unprotect protected companies after a certain time
13:00:56 <geoffk> yeah i set in months how long before either get deleted, and then i can either turn on autoclean or turn it off
13:02:15 <geoffk> i have always had a default setting syaing to delete protected i think after 36 months, but unless autoclean_companies is on the they dont get deleted so im confused
13:02:35 <geoffk> yeah i dont like it but
13:03:04 <geoffk> people leave the game loads of casdh builds up then always get soem idito come on the company and mess up the map
13:04:30 <geoffk> its happenign every day im finding, i check my servers and someone has tried to flatten all the land, so im planning to enforce a rule of setting passwords of expect to be deleted
13:06:53 <geoffk> i dont see anyother option than to have these companies removed if players dont keep a pass if i can make that happen without loosing protected companies
13:08:15 *** Prof_Frink has joined #openttd
13:08:33 <geoffk> if someone is going to destroy companies beyond point of repair and mess up the map they may as well be removed

13:33:30 <Gekkko[PDA]> kaan: im on a pda
13:36:14 <stillunknown> Then find yourself a keyboard, preferably one attached to a computer ;-)
13:37:35 <Gekkko[PDA]> i play openttd on here too
13:37:44 <Gekkko[PDA]> palmttd its called.
13:38:59 <Gekkko[PDA]> i dont need support.
13:39:24 <Gekkko[PDA]> i use it on the pc to a lesser extent
13:39:32 <glx> it's just don't ask us if you find a bug :)
13:40:10 <Gekkko[PDA]> i found a bug, my pda crashes when vi try tyo insdtall the windows exe on my pda >.>
13:41:05 <Gekkko[PDA]> make openttd into an OS haha

14:38:00 <stillunknown> kaan: As my biggest supporter i'd like to focus your attention on the OTTD optimisation thread.
14:38:42 <kaan> I saw it, i just didn't take the time to read the code :)
14:39:06 <stillunknown> I've rewritten a small part of it, so i can understand what it does ;-)
14:39:21 <boekabart> stillunknown: rewritten a small part of which one?
14:39:23 <kaan> ill take another look then :P
14:40:14 <stillunknown> To remove some of the seemingly magic.
14:42:22 <stillunknown> Mostly confined to the hash generation macros, the ViewportAddVehicles function and some small things in other places
14:45:58 <boekabart> a lot of people are looking at that patch ;)
14:46:48 <stillunknown> boekabart: what makes you think that?
14:47:15 <boekabart> i've heard a lot of people talking about it now and then
14:47:50 <stillunknown> The point is, that they don't actually fix or accept it ;-)
14:48:41 <stillunknown> And i was a bit confused about some of the things it did, so i "reverse engineered" it.
14:48:42 <boekabart> well there always is the other way to do it, the map bits version
14:49:16 <boekabart> stillunknown: it's pretty clear but the hash table/linkedlist management should be 'taken outside' imho
14:50:06 <stillunknown> Be a little clearer than that, i'm not actually that familiar with hashmaps.
14:50:48 <stillunknown> I just fixed what i couldn't understand.
14:51:02 <Bjarni> boekabart: how did you manage to print the screenshot on the cake?
14:51:25 <boekabart> pixelling with candy pieces
14:51:35 <boekabart> or, order it at www.hema.nl
14:51:58 <boekabart> they just offer picture-on-cake... takes 2 days
14:52:22 <boekabart> they were looking at me in a very weird way when I picked it up from the store
14:52:40 <boekabart> 'have fun at whatever party YOU'RE going to'
14:53:18 <boekabart> stillunknown: vehicle position (either in screen coords or game coords) is converted to a hash number (magic), then on that location in a table (much smaller than map of course), it puts a pointer to this vehicle. If there already is one there (possible collision partner), it becomes a linked list
14:53:43 <stillunknown> Basicly only taking the first X bits of the location.
14:54:07 <boekabart> the least significant ones, in his implementaion, yes
14:54:29 <boekabart> but that can be any calculation, doesn't matter very much
14:55:07 <stillunknown> So far i haven't heard a problem.
14:55:28 <boekabart> you're waiting for one?
14:55:37 <stillunknown> stillunknown: it's pretty clear but the hash table/linkedlist management should be 'taken outside' imho
14:55:43 <stillunknown> That implied a problem.
14:55:49 <stillunknown> Or a suggestion.
14:55:50 <boekabart> well, code readability
14:55:59 <boekabart> and less duplication
14:56:03 <stillunknown> I have no idea what you're referring to.
14:56:15 <boekabart> now the same thing is done for 2 hash tables. waste of code
14:56:39 <stillunknown> Maybe a template would be suitable.
14:58:03 <boekabart> plus i'd use an other hash function, but that's just my gut feeling that it could be faster that way
14:58:57 <boekabart> neh, anyway, i don't currently have time to work on it yet, plus i'm not a dev so it might be a waste of time if other people are still working on it too.
14:59:32 <stillunknown> Is it conceptually different or just different in terms of code?
15:00:07 <boekabart> no, just the hash function
15:00:17 <boekabart> the fn that converts x, y into a position in the table
15:00:57 <stillunknown> But you would discard different information?
15:01:33 <boekabart> a hash is never about information or discarding it. it's just a matter of a different distribution of items over an array
15:01:54 <boekabart> usually, you want as little collisions as possible. but in this case maybe it's different
15:02:07 <stillunknown> Essentially you're making a linear combination of several smaller maps.
15:02:31 <boekabart> stillunknown: doesn't need to be linear, that's actually what i wouldn't want it to be
15:03:44 <stillunknown> Another solution is to simply take, supertiles and store them, so you always get nearby stuff.
15:04:15 <boekabart> that's also just another hash, using the most significant bits
15:04:47 <boekabart> but that will result in lots of 'collisions' in the table, not something you usually want but in this case it might actually be good
15:05:16 <boekabart> since in 95% of cases, you won't have to scan 2 or 4 hash values but just 1
15:05:44 <boekabart> then again, scanning hash values is not more expensive that going through a longer linked list.
15:06:00 <stillunknown> If you ever think you can explain what you mind, in not so many words, then be my guest.
15:06:11 <boekabart> and your suggestion would make all nearby trains candidates, more to check. bad thing..
15:06:34 <stillunknown> Keeping in mind that i just do programming as a hobby and have no serious background for these kind of things.
15:10:00 <boekabart> i also do it just as a hobby... but also for work :)
15:11:42 *** Osai^2 is now known as Osai
15:12:40 <stillunknown> boekabart: two years ago even a printf confused me, these days i'm a little better, but lacking the theoretical background
15:12:59 <boekabart> printf still confuses me. forever will.
15:13:13 <stillunknown> I meant, C confused me completely.
15:13:13 <kaan> stillunknown: id say that this is the understatement of the year ;)
15:13:14 <boekabart> who in the right state of mind....
15:14:04 <kaan> a little better .... hmmm, id like to get a little better at programming too ;)
15:14:57 <kaan> right, good idea, ill go make me some dinner as well
15:15:33 <boekabart> kaan: make me some too! ;0
15:15:59 <kaan> if you can be here in 40 minutes when im done then please do join me :)
15:16:55 <boekabart> sorry, my teleporter is out of order
15:20:55 <Bjarni> Nørup... that's a far away place :p
15:21:15 <boekabart> how big can denmark be
15:21:30 <boekabart> (pretty big on a 2048x2048 map, in fact)
15:21:37 <Bjarni> how big is relative... it's too far to walk
15:21:59 <boekabart> which is relative again
15:22:24 <Bjarni> it's too far on bike as well
15:22:54 <Bjarni> the town even lacks rail connection, so it's tricky to get there
15:23:06 <boekabart> wouldn't be your kind of town then, would it?
15:23:32 <Bjarni> it has been a while since I was in a town without rail connection
15:23:44 <boekabart> does it itch when you are?
15:24:27 <Bjarni> I see it as opportunity... an unopened market for the taking
15:26:09 *** thgergo has joined #openttd
15:26:45 <Sacro> Bjarni: you should take out £100,000 loan and set to work
15:28:48 <Bjarni> " 55°43'14.47"N, 9°18'12.21"E" <-- copy paste this into google earth and you can see the location in question
15:29:28 <Bjarni> hey I might even have been in this town
15:29:39 <Bjarni> passing though towards another town
15:32:32 <Bjarni> now see what you have done.... you made the channel go off topic >_<
15:32:57 <Bjarni> so instead of speaking or a village, it's confused
15:32:59 <boekabart> Bjarni: there is an airfield nearby (little to the west) maybe a railservice to there?
15:33:26 <boekabart> billund... isn't legoland there?
15:33:54 <boekabart> which one, there are 2 airpts
15:35:18 <Bjarni> 55°44'7.08"N, 9° 7'41.20"E
15:35:50 <boekabart> the factory to the left of it, is that Lego?
15:36:09 * boekabart doesn't remember much, it's been 23 years since he's been there
15:45:13 <Bjarni> it has changed a lot in the last few years
15:56:44 * Sacro wonders if the Lego factory is made out of Lego
15:58:11 <Bjarni> but they do have a whole lot of lego in there
15:59:06 <kaan> hmmm, i really should go to legoland and ride the lego train soon
15:59:20 <kaan> also id like to see the new shark aquarium
15:59:46 <kaan> legotrain <---- seee, there is rail nearby!
16:00:03 <Sacro> how fast does gravity travel...
16:02:42 <kaan> gravity doesnt travel, it pulls stuff
16:02:56 <strstrep> Gravity travels at the speed of light.
16:03:44 <strstrep> Either that or it travels instantaneously.
16:03:57 <Sacro> yes, i am stuck as to which
16:04:46 <strstrep> They think it travels at the speed of light because otherwise information could be conveyed faster than light, and that is theoretically impossible.
16:08:06 <kaan> boekabart: dinner is served! did you fix that teleporter?
16:12:27 <Bjarni> well, it will be either cold or eaten before I can arrive
16:16:09 <kaan> eaten most likely at this rate :)

17:04:08 *** iPandaMojo has joined #openttd
17:10:25 <Wolf01> a friend of mine is trying to compile ottd (trunk) with ubuntu 7.04, but the binary don't work, when he click on the binary don't happen anything
17:11:50 <Sacro> Wolf01: run it from a console
17:11:57 <Wolf01> seem that also when he overwrite the binary with the nightly one it doesn't work too
17:12:08 <Wolf01> but if he use only the nightly it works
17:12:35 *** iPandaMojo has joined #openttd
17:14:00 <Wolf01> Sacro, he say that it doesn't work from the console too
17:14:13 <Sacro> Wolf01: it should at least give an error
17:14:48 <Wolf01> i'm asking for the crash.log
17:16:14 <Wolf01> he just deleted the ottd folder to retry
17:17:09 <Wolf01> but he is sure that the crash.log never existed
17:30:21 <Wolf01> in fact it doesn't start
17:31:12 <glx> Wolf01: crash.log is only for win32 releases
17:31:17 <Sacro> what? nothing printed to stderr?
17:31:29 <kaan> maybe it needs chmod to executeable
17:31:42 <Sacro> kaan: it would say something surely?

21:53:12 <kaan> Its done, i have spend the 2 $ :D
21:55:35 <boekabart> there's BENZIN in it
21:56:00 <boekabart> it's definately a russion wagon

21:57:33 <boekabart> ln-: the url gave it away
22:01:27 <Phazorx> quiz wagons are russian
22:01:30 <Phazorx> but country is harder
22:01:45 <Phazorx> overhanging caternary is not standard russian
22:02:01 <Phazorx> and gazprom feeds with oil/gaz mosty of europe
22:02:11 <Phazorx> however over pipes, not trains
22:03:03 <Phazorx> if resolution would be better - you could tell by rails
22:04:33 <Phazorx> title on of wagons says that it is it to be returned ASAP into middle of siberia, so i say it is russian :)
22:06:08 <Phazorx> lol i can tell what camera were used :)
22:07:41 <Phazorx> still not good enough
22:07:52 <Phazorx> you can see secondary rails between wagons
22:08:17 <Phazorx> russian never put mroe than 3 of nails there out of 4 possible
22:08:48 <Phazorx> alternatively - see ing "ЖД" on rails somewhere would clear it too
22:11:59 <ln-> finland is the correct answer, but interesting detective work.
