00:10:36 <Smoovious> midi and ogg just aren't comparable as music file types
00:11:06 <Smoovious> midis are just an instruction set for how to play the music... ogg is a recording
00:11:31 <svip> But no one uses midis any more.
00:11:51 <svip> I mean on a serious level.
00:13:26 <Smoovious> midis didn't even originate wiith computers, but with electric keyboards
00:14:05 <Smoovious> and personally, I won't buy a sound card without excellent, programmable, midi support

00:52:11 <svip> In order to check for which tool is selected.
00:52:23 <svip> I need to make some sort check function.
00:52:34 <svip> But also make it public the functions that _place_proc refers to.
00:52:48 <svip> Unless of course there is another way to check what something points at.

01:16:12 <Belugas> [19:34] <svip> You can't? Or you _can't_? <--- the music is not our property, but still Atari (or whoever has the rights). So if we convert them to something else, it means we are manipulating original and copyright material.
01:16:27 <Belugas> therefor, cannot touch nor convert the music
01:16:44 <Sacro> not even whistle it on the bus?
01:17:19 <Belugas> but we would welcome all the artists who could donate any piece of good and in-the-style type of musice :)
01:17:37 <Belugas> and yes, why not, recording of Sacro's whistling :)
01:18:11 <Sacro> i have the tt music on my phone
01:18:20 <Sacro> i have Broomers Rag when i recieve a call
01:18:27 <Sacro> and the TTDX theme for my alarm
01:21:07 *** Greyscale has joined #openttd
01:22:25 <Belugas> alhough my cell phone rings with the sound of a steam engine entering a station, with whistle and steeam release :)
01:22:40 <Belugas> plus the tracks clickering
01:27:51 <_Ben_> If people play back the music on instruments, but the sheet music is made from the midi, would that still be copyright to atari? (or whoever..)
01:31:16 *** Eddi|zuHause2 has joined #openttd
01:33:12 <_Ben_> hmm, how to artists usually get away with doing covers?
01:34:49 <Belugas> or they make enough modifications that it is almost a different song, such as the lawyers could not prove it is the same.
01:35:04 <Belugas> difference between inspired and copied, i guess :)
01:36:17 <_Ben_> hmm, if you are playing it on an instrument then it can only be inspired, as the original method was manually entered
01:36:45 <_Ben_> what about just switching the key to a perfect 4th of the original. Almost the same, but not a single note in common!
01:37:07 <Belugas> progressin is still the same
01:37:22 <Belugas> transposition is not a new song
01:37:45 <Belugas> what about getting a keyboard ang get inspired :D
01:38:13 <Belugas> my stuff is only on guitar, and i can't finish a damn song i've composed
01:38:58 <Belugas> in that case, we may start to replace the files :D
01:39:06 <_Ben_> I can play the TT theme song, although I don't have a convincin claranet midi, although my sister plays claranet but I dought I could convince her to play TT music!
01:43:22 *** Greyscale has joined #openttd
01:45:28 <_Ben_> If an artist rights sheet music, its not illegal to sell a recording of that being played is it? Or is that different as you buy that right when paying for the sheet music?
01:46:05 <Belugas> i do not know... it may depends on what you wnat to do, i guess
01:46:21 <Belugas> as for the sound of claranet, weel... to bad :)
01:46:34 <Belugas> maybe we need some new music style ;)
01:56:26 <_Ben_> hmm well structured jazz is kinda that, although that is the original style is it not?
02:36:13 *** Ammller has joined #openttd
02:43:38 <Eddi|zuHause2> <_Ben_> hmm, how to artists usually get away with doing covers? <- here is an institution [in germany that's called GEMA] that gathers money from all performing artists and gives it to the writers of the music. there is a similar institution for playing back recordings, which pays to the artists that recorded it
02:44:30 <_Ben_> Do you know how long music holds copyright?
02:44:58 <Eddi|zuHause2> like anything else, death of the author + 70 years [in europe]
02:45:43 <_Ben_> hmm tricky to get around that one
02:46:09 <Eddi|zuHause2> means you are free to play mozart or beethoven ;)
02:46:40 <_Ben_> somehow I don't think TT players would see that as a suitable equivilent
02:46:53 <Eddi|zuHause2> chances are, CS had absolutely nothing to do with the music :p
02:47:47 <_Ben_> well we could do some scott joplin, as locomotion has
02:51:54 <_Ben_> If the original TT music is recorded from real instruments and distributed, I asume that wouldn't be a crime if it released under a leicence that inshores it remains free, as it's the profiting that would be the crime right?
02:54:21 <Eddi|zuHause2> i don't think that is going to work...
02:56:17 <Eddi|zuHause2> the laws (at least in germany) are a little more liberal with music than with software, i.e. you are allowed to make private copys of music and give them to family and close friends (as long as it does not involve circumventing copy protection)... but afaik that does not include non-profit public distribution
02:57:37 <_Ben_> dam the law. Always getting in my way
02:57:55 <Eddi|zuHause2> (note that it also does not include "friends" you "meet" over "filesharing programs" :p)
02:59:44 <_Ben_> Although the music is devirved from a copyrighted origin if you were to transfer midi to sheet and then play it on instruments, the actually music you have has required a person/people to add a great deal of there own work to it in order to get the music to the finished state, so I think that is quite unfair that it remains copyrighed to the author of the midi
03:00:53 <Eddi|zuHause2> it's not necessarily the author of the midi, it's the composer of the music, which might or might not be the same person
03:01:26 <_Ben_> In TT I asume it is the same person?
03:02:23 <Eddi|zuHause2> i have no idea... but creating a midi from sheet music is usually not a "creative work" in the sense of copyright law...
03:03:09 <_Ben_> yeah, I was refering to the reading and playing of an instrument that is creative

07:45:52 <phiker> hi, is it currently planned to have easier upgrade methods for trains instead of having to replace them all one by one?
08:04:33 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: rubidium * r11030 /trunk/src/ (economy.cpp openttd.cpp saveload.cpp station_cmd.cpp): -Revert r11016, Fix [FS#1178]: the way to determine whether a station should get goods was not done properly.
08:04:38 <Rubidium> phiker: there's something called autoreplace that does that
08:08:04 <phiker> Rubidium: how can I use that?
08:09:02 <Rubidium> something like wiki.openttd.org/wiki/Autoreplace (I think)
08:10:07 <phiker> uhm well, I meant upgrading like monorail -> maglev
08:11:22 <Rubidium> we'd first need multitile (read multirailtype) depots for that
08:12:10 <phiker> why not simply let users define what engines should be replaced with other ones in the replace vehicles dialogue, and then replace them when the upgrade tool is applied to a rail depot?
08:12:53 <Rubidium> because one shouldn't have maglev trains in a monorail depot and vice versa
08:13:19 <phiker> when you upgrade it, it becomes a maglev depot
08:13:24 <phiker> and therefore can have maglev trains in it
08:13:34 <Rubidium> yes, but first you have monorail trains in it
08:13:44 <phiker> which were upgraded from monorail trains according to the rules defined in some dialogue
08:13:59 <Rubidium> not if you didn't specify it
08:14:14 <phiker> Otherwise an error box could be shown.
08:14:15 <Rubidium> yes, but sometimes people don't
08:14:31 <phiker> then it won´t work, but that´s not too big a problem
08:14:52 <phiker> It´s a hundred times easier to specify this and then upgrade your complete railnet instead of replacing 40 trains one by one.
08:14:59 <Rubidium> either do it correctly or don't do it at all
08:15:27 <phiker> well, what´s wrong with letting the user define what should happen?
08:16:01 <Rubidium> it brings the game in an inconsistent state and people start complaining that it "doesn't" work
08:16:11 <phiker> inconsistent? in what way?
08:16:30 <Rubidium> monorail vehicles on maglev track for example
08:16:55 <phiker> and... how should that happen with this approach?
08:17:10 <Rubidium> depots have track to
08:17:30 <Rubidium> and track types are only checked when they change
08:17:30 <phiker> and... where´s the problem?
08:17:40 *** Dark_Link^skola has joined #openttd
08:17:43 <Rubidium> so once a monorail train is on maglev track it will happily run
08:17:57 <phiker> and how should it get there?
08:17:59 <Rubidium> and then people start complaining that monorail runs on maglev and vice versa
08:18:59 <phiker> (perhaps I´m just too stupid, but I´m really trying to understand what you´re saying :-)
08:19:41 <Rubidium> because you have maglev trains in a monorail depot (or vice versa) because you didn't set an autoreplace for all vehicles, trains will run on the wrong track type
08:20:15 <phiker> if I don´t set an autoreplace, nothing gets done and an error box is shown
08:20:56 <phiker> "You can´t upgrade this depot because you didn´t specify a replacement for train 36." or something like that
08:21:56 <Rubidium> oh... and what when you can't have coal wagons on maglev? (Like with most newgrfs)
08:22:29 <Rubidium> it would require a hell of a lot of code to get it right
08:22:36 <phiker> you can´t have coal wagons on maglev? sorry, I didn´t know that
08:22:50 <phiker> well then, probably the user shouldn´t be upgrading his network if he wants to continue delivering coal...
08:22:54 <Rubidium> as I said: with some newgrfs
08:23:14 <phiker> so he won´t use this feature and won´t have problems
08:24:26 <Rubidium> people are stupid and click on everything
08:25:23 <phiker> you´re right, showing an error box then is much work
08:25:26 <SmatZ> phiker: you can code a client-side patch to do that work for you
08:25:58 <phiker> SmatZ: of course I could. I´m just wondering why this isn´t included by default. Now I know :-)
08:26:20 <phiker> Though I still think it would be worth it...
08:26:51 <Rubidium> phiker: problem is that there are a gazillion other things that are "worth" it to be included
08:27:11 <phiker> so there´s simply no time for working on that particular "feature"?
08:27:17 <SmatZ> yes, similiarly I would like an ability to upgrade railtype when a train goes over it...
08:27:21 <Rubidium> and the autoreplace dev has not that much time
08:27:57 <phiker> SmatZ: and why don´t you use the normal replace tool?
08:28:02 <phiker> it´s not too much work, is it?
08:28:46 <phiker> ok then, I´ll try making a patch. It´ll sure be crappy. But it´s enough if it works for me.
08:29:34 <SmatZ> phiker: because it cannot be done
08:29:44 <SmatZ> when a train is on the tile, you cannot convert it
08:30:28 <SmatZ> you can convert depots, when a train is on the tile, but not regular railway
08:30:35 <phiker> wouldn´t it be a bit unrealistic if you could upgrade a train while it´s driving?
08:31:33 <SmatZ> now I was talking about railway->el.railway conversion
08:31:48 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: rubidium * r11031 /trunk/src/ (7 files): -Codechange: reduce the amount of duplication of bit counting functions. Based on patches by skidd13, SmatZ and Belugas.
08:32:04 <SmatZ> similiarly, there could be trains that run both on monorail and maglev...
08:32:29 <phiker> although I can´t calculate this, it doesn´t sound like it´s much work?
08:32:30 <SmatZ> I think OTTD can be unrealistic :)
08:32:50 <phiker> but what I thought you meant was _very_ unrealistic ;)
08:35:29 <Noldo> Rubidium is on a bug closing spree
08:36:16 <phiker> isn´t it sufficient to check whether the railway is ugpraded normal->electric and allow it then?
08:37:13 <SmatZ> Rubidium: is it intended, that a Railway depot can be upgraded to El.Rail, even when there is a train not stopped in the depot?
08:37:33 <SmatZ> phiker: yes... probably there was some decision form devs not to allow that
08:37:57 <phiker> SmatZ: perhaps. although I don´t know why they should disallow that
08:38:01 <Rubidium> el rail came *after* the convert tool
08:39:48 *** Nickman has joined #openttd
08:40:06 <phiker> given that someone does that task, would it be included then?
08:41:10 <SmatZ> I will do something about it
08:42:02 <phiker> then I´ll try doing something about the normal railway -> maglev thing...
08:43:29 <peter1138> different kettle of fish
08:43:56 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
08:43:57 <peter1138> well, all the vehicles have different engine types
08:51:40 <SmatZ> hmmm it needs more work - if an electrified rail can be converted to normal rail
08:51:51 <TrueBrain> GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!
08:51:54 <SmatZ> when an el.train is already on the tile
08:52:11 <SmatZ> rather second world war :-P
08:52:13 <phiker> is this that difficult to check?
08:52:49 <SmatZ> phiker: no... but I am not sure if there is any reason to allow conversion el.rail -> normal rail
08:54:12 <phiker> SmatZ: i´m not aware of one, but that doesn´t mean that there is none...
08:55:30 *** RamboRonny has joined #openttd
08:55:52 <SmatZ> a nice bug in current code - buy an el. train, let it go a little bit out of depot (stay on the same tile), then convert the el.rail to normal rail
08:56:17 <SmatZ> strange now it works :D
09:01:05 <SmatZ> yes ... convert it to normal rail, reverse the train, then convert it back
09:01:12 <SmatZ> to el. rail and it won't start
09:01:21 <SmatZ> you have to reverse it again
09:01:50 <Nickman> whats going on today? :)
09:01:56 <SmatZ> so - the status of the train (hp) is updated only when reversing, not while converting rails under the train
09:02:44 <SmatZ> Nickman: we (I) are (am) now taling about rail -> el. rail ->rail conversion
09:03:10 <Nickman> I saw ;), seems like a bug to me :p
09:03:32 <SmatZ> yes... I will do something about that
09:08:03 <phiker> does a depot count as MP_RAILWAY, MP_STATION, MP_ROAD or MP_TUNNELBRIDGE?
09:08:45 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
09:10:21 <phiker> guess I have to figure that out myself then...
09:10:36 <SmatZ> I would suppose MP_RAILWAY
09:10:55 <SmatZ> but do not trust me, better verify :)
09:11:46 *** Greyscale has joined #openttd
09:13:09 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: rubidium * r11032 /trunk/src/clear_cmd.cpp: -Codechange: unmagicify some table sizes and removal of some unnecessary variables. Patch by frosch.
09:18:26 *** Progman has joined #openttd
09:22:04 <phiker> the monorail train won´t run on a maglev railway because of missing power :D

09:43:57 *** DJ_Mirage has joined #openttd
09:50:13 <SmatZ> what is the meaning of Train_Multiheaded ?
09:50:21 <SmatZ> and Train_Articulated_Part ?
09:50:51 <phiker> SmatZ: perhaps whether the train has multiple engines?
09:51:34 <SmatZ> for TGV, one part is Train_Engine | Train_Front | Train_Multiheaded
09:51:39 <SmatZ> second has only Train_Multiheaded
09:52:03 <SmatZ> eg. what is the difference between Train_Multiheaded and Train_Articulated_Part ?
09:52:21 <SmatZ> I though the second part will have Train_Articulated_Part, but it doesn't :-(
09:54:01 <TrueBrain> articulated parts are part of the first engine and can not be disconnected
09:54:09 <TrueBrain> multiheaded can have N things between the first and last
09:54:35 <TrueBrain> a coal wagon behind a steam engine is articulated
09:54:40 <TrueBrain> a TGV is multiheaded
09:54:48 <TrueBrain> a dictonary lookup would have helped you out too ;)
09:56:16 <SmatZ> I though TGV and similiar trains are Articulated in TTD, so I was confused
09:57:38 <SmatZ> for safe check, whether a vehicle has some power, is
09:57:53 <SmatZ> IsTrainEngine(v) || IsMultiheaded(v)
09:58:11 <SmatZ> GetVehicleProperty(u, 0x0B, rvi_u->power)

10:07:54 <Eddi|zuHause2> SmatZ: there are powered wagons (e.g. DBSetXL)
10:08:30 <Eddi|zuHause2> depending on consist, some passenger or mail wagons have power
10:13:19 <peter1138> check TrainPowerChanged() basically
10:13:39 <peter1138> but remember it is allowed for electric power to be on non-electric rail if it has non-electric power as well
10:16:57 <SmatZ> Eddi|zuHause2: peter1138 I will do my best
10:18:18 <peter1138> what are you solving, anyway
10:20:19 <SmatZ> to make better ability of converting rail <-> el.rail
10:20:36 <SmatZ> now, only depots can be converted
10:20:44 <SmatZ> but even when there is a train outside the depot
10:21:09 <SmatZ> I think it would be nice to convert rail <-> el. rail even when there is a train on it
10:21:28 <TrueBrain> sjoep sjoep sjoep sjoep
10:21:36 <SmatZ> if not, I won't do that patch, and I will only make small changes
10:21:40 <SmatZ> sjoep sjoep sjoep sjoep
10:24:44 <SmatZ> do you want to be possible to convert rail -> monorail on a crossing, when there is a road vehicle on it?
10:28:43 <Alltaken> hows the game going everyone.

14:46:55 <DorpsGek> TrueBrain: Commit by rubidium :: r11011 /trunk/src (10 files) (2007-08-30 21:11:12 UTC)
14:46:56 <DorpsGek> TrueBrain: -Fix [FS#1129]: GetFirstVehicleInChain did change the game state while being marked const.
14:46:57 <DorpsGek> TrueBrain: -Codechange: do not brute force determine the first vehicle in the chain or previous vehicle, but do it by properly accounting the previous and first pointers when updating the next pointer. This gives a performance increase of about 15% when there are a lot of vehicles in the game.
14:47:14 <TrueBrain> I think the commit logs really says it all :)

15:00:10 <DorpsGek> svip: -Codechange: unify the vehicle view window. Patch by PhilSophus.
15:00:37 <svip> They have been "unified", Chris82.
15:00:54 <Chris82> yeah so I guess there is one single function now, but I don't know the name of it
15:01:07 <Chris82> the Vehicle Console Commands used it so I just try to update it
15:01:17 <Chris82> I am on Vista ;) no grepping here
15:01:29 <Noldo> svn.openttd.org will help
15:01:31 <nairan> well chris i hope the mail subsidy will get into trunk so subsidies are complete again =)
15:01:44 <Noldo> check the changeset of that r10997
15:01:49 *** nairan is now known as mcbane
15:01:58 <Chris82> the mail subsidies will also be updated in the next ChrisIN because they have a "bug"
15:02:14 <Chris82> it's possibly that such a small town that doesn't even produce mail offers a mail subsidy :D
15:02:39 <Chris82> I'll have a look at it Noldo
15:02:46 <mcbane> which one the one of soovious or of wlander
15:03:11 <mcbane> pitty i have no clue of programming..
15:03:45 <Chris82> well I use the code of wlander to update the current code but I might change additional things
15:04:10 <Chris82> first I need to update the current patches because the unification of vehicles has broken quite a few things
15:04:34 <Chris82> but it also allows me to simplify the way vehicle running costs are calculated for the different daylengths
15:07:16 <Chris82> a switch with only a default case is not really useful right?
15:08:03 <blathijs> will probably get optimized out :-)
15:12:35 <blathijs> Chris82: Is that old code really correct? Is ShowTrainViewWindow(v); really called always?
15:13:34 <Chris82> that old code is from Vehicle Console Commands and I didn't hear of any bugs so I guess it's correct
15:13:44 <Chris82> I just don't know what this default case is for
15:13:49 <DorpsGek> TrueBrain: Error: Missing "]". You may want to quote your arguments with double quotes in order to prevent extra brackets from being evaluated as nested commands.
15:13:51 *** DorpsGek sets mode: +o TrueBrain
15:14:29 *** TrueBrain changes topic to "0.5.2 | Fundraiser 2007/2008 Closed (310.12 pounds in less than 24 hours!). Thank you all very much for your support!!"
15:14:42 <svip> But you removed the link?
15:14:45 <Chris82> oh hi Truebrain, I read on the homepage that you need money for hosting... do you take free webspace or bandwith as well as a donation? :D
15:14:46 <blathijs> Chris82: The default NOT_REACHED() is not supposed to occur, but a switch must have a default case IIRC
15:15:11 <blathijs> Chris82: Depends on the form in which you can offer it
15:15:22 <TrueBrain> Chris82: what blathijs says ;)
15:15:35 <Chris82> well I have a root server with 3 500 GB drives and that space is not even closely used
15:15:45 <Chris82> but it only has 500 GB traffic a month of which I use ~50%
15:16:06 <Chris82> and it runs with Server 2003 not Linux ;)
15:17:15 <Noldo> thingwath: was there a bug report about that thing already?
15:17:23 <TrueBrain> But we might want to use some of your webspace + bandwidth for our nightly archive, as it is pretty big :p But with the current amount of donation, we might even have a way to sort that out more easier
15:18:27 <thingwath> Noldo: I can't find any
15:18:50 <Chris82> kk, just let me know when you need some space, just checked and there's 1,1 TB free :D
15:19:17 <SmatZ> I spend like 40s on "[SRC] Linking openttd" :-x
15:21:39 <Chris82> hmmm on this line "v = v->next;" I get multiple errors I didn't have before
15:21:57 <Chris82> 2>..\src\console_cmds.cpp(1956) : error C2248: 'Vehicle::next' : cannot access private member declared in class 'Vehicle'
15:21:57 <Chris82> 2> d:\openttd\openttd-dev\src\vehicle.h(232) : see declaration of 'Vehicle::next'
15:21:57 <Chris82> 2> d:\openttd\openttd-dev\src\vehicle.h(227) : see declaration of 'Vehicle'
15:22:19 <Chris82> did something change that affects this line?
15:22:30 <Noldo> thingwath: is there a way to reproduce it easily?
15:22:48 <thingwath> Noldo: sure, just buy some tender loco... at least in csdset
15:29:19 <Chris82> hmm I have included vehicle.h in console_cmds.cpp and vehicle.h has a line "virtual bool IsInDepot() const...." but it still says IsInDepot is an undeclared identifier? why?
15:30:00 <Chris82> hmmm shouldn't this work IsInDepot(v) ?
15:31:35 <SmatZ> this may be the problem
15:31:49 <SmatZ> if operator_new updates u->first
15:32:50 <Noldo> sure it does, it's the point where the train is contructed
15:33:01 <Smoovious> <Chris82> the mail subsidies will also be updated in the next ChrisIN because they have a "bug" <--- I haven't done anything with that patch, waiting for newindustries to be done, since I suspect it'll change things... just upping the population check should be ok in the meantime
15:33:05 <Noldo> there is a vehicle before that but it isn't a train
15:36:39 <Smoovious> hopefully I'll have time to do a full rewrite of the subsidies patch soon... fortunately, the other guy that made the subsidies-distance patch gave me one less thing to do :)
15:37:09 <Smoovious> tho I was thinking of making it grow as the years went by and faster vehicles came out
15:37:53 <svip> How do I find out which Cargo I am using based on its CargoID?
15:39:02 <Smoovious> depending on where you're looking, the types should be enum'd... look around for an enum with CT_MAIL in the list to find it
15:39:41 <Smoovious> dunno if it is going to stay that way tho with newindustries
15:40:10 <svip> My patch probably will need some rewrite when newindustries is imported.
15:40:27 <svip> But are there functions to get it?
15:40:34 <Smoovious> yeah... :) that's why I haven't touched the other patch in a while
15:41:02 <svip> I just need to compare the cargo type accepted by industries, compared to what I am searching for.
15:41:33 <Smoovious> sorry, won't be much help... that's beyond what I've dealt with so far
15:47:02 <glx> <Chris82> hmmm shouldn't this work IsInDepot(v) ? <-- v->IsInDepot()
15:47:10 <thingwath> SmatZ: yes, i think
15:50:12 <Chris82> glx: Yep, I used that too now and it compiled fine, I assume it will work in the game also but I need to fix a few other things before I get an .exe
16:02:09 <Noldo> is there a SetFirst(...) function for trains?
16:06:04 <SmatZ> Noldo: no, use the SetNext()
16:06:05 <Noldo> and the documentation of Vehicle::HasFront is not correct
16:07:29 <SmatZ> operator_new sets v->first = v , v->SetNext(u) sets u->first = v->first
16:10:21 <SmatZ> hmm FlySpray seems to have some problem
16:10:36 <SmatZ> this link doesn't work...
16:10:45 <SmatZ> Notice: Undefined index: is_admin in /www/openttd.org/bugs/scripts/admin.php on line 23
16:11:29 <glx> no error for me but it is empty
16:14:17 *** Darkebie has joined #openttd
16:18:45 <glx> no but I have all other attributes
16:22:15 <TrueBrain> SmatZ: that url isn't suppose to work anyway
16:22:47 <TrueBrain> but it is one of those things from FS, that isn't 100% how it should be
16:32:38 <Noldo> I wonder if articulated road vehicles are broken too
16:38:58 <Eddi|zuHause2> "fixing one bug introduces two new ones"
16:39:14 <Eddi|zuHause2> now extrapolate that on a bug-fixing spree :p
16:42:52 <DaleStan> That's standard operating procedure: There is always one more bug.
16:43:22 <Eddi|zuHause2> hm, that is less exponential :p
16:46:44 <Noldo> it's only exponential if the rate of bug fixing is at least lineary related to the amount of bugs
16:47:54 <Noldo> but if the rate of bug fixing is constant the growth of number of open bugs is only linear
16:50:42 <mcbane> well today they were down to 130 but then came the bug/patch submit spree and it went up quite fast again.
16:53:36 <Eddi|zuHause2> Noldo: and the possibility of being exponential is not exponential enough for you?

17:11:27 <ChrisH> hi. is it possible to change attributes of a vehicle in a newgr-set?
17:12:05 <ChrisH> i installed the generic tram set, but the trams are very unreliable
17:15:05 <Eddi|zuHause2> get grfcodec and read the specs?
17:15:19 <Eddi|zuHause2> or switch off breakdowns

18:26:14 <Noldo> is there openttd related git tutorial somewhere?
18:30:40 <svip> You should be quite suited with git as well.
18:30:46 <mcbane> hmm i constanly get all cargo from wood and my rating is constantly shrinking..
18:31:07 <svip> Then go kick their arses.
18:31:38 <mcbane> normally it should stay even or maye grow..
18:41:57 <mcbane> also still the feat./bug happening that like all mines of coal has one value and are not random. also there is no raising production if ya get a high rate.
19:06:19 <peter1138> svip: hmm, git/hg are not really like svn at all
19:06:28 <peter1138> well except they're all version control
19:06:41 <svip> True, but I am using hg, and it is quite similar in commands to svn.
19:07:03 * peter1138 is trying to get to grips with hg with ottd

23:36:26 <stamgast> lol ging iets verkeerd
23:37:06 <stamgast> pardon me i said somthing went wrong it loged me out lol
23:37:28 <stamgast> i did not wanted to sound rude
23:38:04 <stamgast> is there a posibility that i can ask some questions without bugging you all ?
23:38:05 <svip> stamgast: ma ei räägi eesti keelt.
23:39:00 <Rubidium> asking the real "thing" usually better than asking whether you can ask something
23:39:19 <svip> Do or do not, there is no try.
23:39:23 <stamgast> yeah i now but i dont want to bug you guys with questions you probely have all the time
23:39:26 <svip> Stop trying to hit me and hit me.
23:39:36 * Wezz6400 hits svip with a broomstick
23:40:08 <Wezz6400> I wouldn't slap you with it if I didn't now wouldn't I?
23:40:21 <svip> You didn't slap me with it.
23:40:22 <Rubidium> @kick svip you wanted to get hit
23:40:22 *** svip was kicked by DorpsGek (you wanted to get hit)
23:40:27 <stamgast> my question is " i got some GRF i want to change some collors in. how can i do this and is there a tool for it ?
23:40:35 <svip> There is a lot of kicking in this channel.
23:40:48 <Wezz6400> how would I translate that with the same meaning :X
23:41:02 <Rubidium> kicking is subset of hitting ;)
23:41:43 *** ITSBTH_ has joined #openttd
23:41:44 <Wezz6400> what point is there in having ops if their not bofh's
23:42:01 <svip> That's a stupid question.
23:42:02 <stamgast> put your energy in awnsering my questions beating eatch other is usles violence :) buy GTA instead :P
23:42:20 <svip> I already own all copies of GTA.
23:42:22 <Wezz6400> svip it was rhetoric
23:42:47 <Wezz6400> I own a copy of most, but not all
23:43:04 <stamgast> yes i got Gta 1 till the last one and waiting for the new one to come out
23:43:08 <Wezz6400> I don't have the expansion packs for gta1
23:43:38 <Wezz6400> I played the london one a bit, but never really got into it
23:43:44 <Wezz6400> driving on the left got the better of me
23:43:55 <stamgast> i love vice city becouse of the 80's music thats my favorit
23:44:09 <svip> Ironic isn't it, stamgast, cause that is my least favourite.
23:44:22 <stamgast> haha prob becouase i am old i like it :)
23:44:29 <svip> Yeah everyone does apparently.
23:44:54 <Wezz6400> I love 80's stuff as it is, it's just a tad bit better than gta3 (but not by much) and well, san andreas was a big disappointment really
23:45:20 <stamgast> i think san andereas was also good exept the part that you need FOOd aal the time
23:45:32 <Wezz6400> I don't really like it
23:45:38 <stamgast> i like crashing planes and love the jetpack
23:46:03 <Wezz6400> I'm not a rap fan for starters, but other than that the story really isn't as good and there were some boring missions too
23:46:20 <svip> You can't build train networks in TA.
23:46:20 <Wezz6400> technically it's much better, but gameplaywise I prefer vice city
23:46:54 <stamgast> anywayz thanks for awnsering my question i will have a look in to it
23:47:44 <stamgast> May the Trains be with ya all. " Bild long and prospper " :P
23:48:24 <stamgast> i am 30 i misstype a lot :P
23:49:08 <stamgast> haha but i only am back in holland sinds one year m8
23:49:18 <Wezz6400> Being Dutch doesn't mean you can't write proper English.
23:49:34 <svip> I know a lot of Dutchies who write perfect English.
23:49:44 <svip> When I approach them they start talking Dutch.
23:49:44 <Wezz6400> As most other Dutch people on this channel prove on a daily basis.
23:50:02 <stamgast> i lived in ireland for 2 years 2 years germany 1 year england 1 year manhatan, and one year in ontario :)
23:50:15 <Rubidium> where's Sacro when you need him...
23:50:20 <svip> Sorry, Wezz6400: ma ei räägi eesti keelt.
23:50:33 <stamgast> nederlands :) kan ik ook
23:50:41 <Sacro> Rubidium: that's what the government have been puzzling for years
23:51:12 <svip> I've only lived here in Copenhagen.
23:51:34 <stamgast> it should be a world language
23:51:57 <stamgast> yeah you get that when your working for APPLE as a system manager :)
23:52:26 <svip> Isn't Apple spelt with only the a as a capital letter?
23:52:46 <Wezz6400> We can't even use it properly ourselves, let alone 6 billion foreigners.
23:52:55 <stamgast> depends on the person who write's it
23:53:00 <svip> Wezz6400 is right, we should start speaking Esperanto.
23:53:16 <stamgast> no whe should speak binary code
23:53:22 <Wezz6400> stamgast too many dumbasses using hun instead of zij or hen
23:53:51 <Wezz6400> I'm not even talking about spelling (though some stuff is just annoying)
23:54:31 <stamgast> i know my english writing is always bin bad. but stil i can manage and a spelling program works fine at work
23:55:12 <stamgast> at least i can work on my dutch now i got 1 year holiday
23:55:38 <stamgast> that sentence sounds wrong lol
23:57:11 <stamgast> anywayz nice talking to you guys, i'm off going to check the info out. talk to ya all .
continue to next day ⏵
