            ⏴ go to previous day
00:00:51  <Gonozal_VIII> did anybody notice the end of the world yet?
 
00:01:13  <Gonozal_VIII> guess we'll have to wait another year then
 
00:05:02  <Gonozal_VIII> hmmm g.. do you have a highlight on g?
 
00:16:52  <pv2b> Gonozal_VIII: the apocalypse has been rescheduled
 
00:17:05  <pv2b> there's always a boom tomorrow
 
00:17:21  <Gonozal_VIII> thanks for that information
 
00:17:44  <Brianetta> New year, new game.
 
00:17:55  <Brianetta> Brianetta's Standard has been restarted.
 
00:18:34  *** pv2b is now known as pv2008b
 
00:19:54  <Gonozal_VIII> latest stable... but once you've played with all the new features, it's hard to go back to that
 
00:20:58  <pv2008b> i should probably go hunt down a mac only bugs. make bjarni happy *<:-)
 
00:21:14  <pv2008b> and me too, not being able to center and zoom using z is annoying
 
00:21:46  <Rubidium_> yeah, cause your path patch will most likely cause crashes for Windows users ;)
 
00:22:08  <pv2008b> Rubidium_: not if they don't build with that option.
 
00:22:40  <pv2008b> Rubidium_: yeah, everything i added that has any consequence should be ifdefed out.
 
00:22:51  <pv2008b> unless i suck ,which is entirely possible
 
00:23:51  <Rubidium_> char *_user_file_dir; is (AFAIK) not within an #ifdef 'is windows'
 
00:24:02  <Gonozal_VIII> like socrates once said... "I know, that I suck"
 
00:24:56  <Rubidium_> hmm, maybe not crash
 
00:25:30  <Rubidium_> actually... it will crash (I should read it a little better)
 
00:25:38  <pv2008b> ah, you're right. _user_file_dir is maybe left uninitialised on windows, i didn't touch the windows specific code.
 
00:25:42  <Rubidium_> anyhow... _user_file_dir gets never initializes on Windows
 
00:25:56  <Rubidium_> thus causes a crash because it's derefenced
 
00:26:04  <pv2008b> yeah, agreed. taht should happen.
 
00:26:22  <Rubidium_> so far for creating a path patch that does not break anything
 
00:28:12  <pv2008b> Rubidium_: sure. but that's no biggie. i don't think there are any other really deep seated issues. as i promised, i'm not going to discuss this suggested change any further, but of course, if you kinda like the patch and decide you want it with some minor fixes... well, i'll be silently happy. *<:-)
 
00:30:19  <Rubidium_> well... people said that crashing trains in a PBS junction is no 'biggie' either
 
00:30:54  <pv2008b> heh. *<:-) what's a few train driver lives a year compared to the mass increase in efficiency possible?
 
00:31:29  <Gonozal_VIII> my thoughts: silently happy... lots of people are silently happy because it's a great game... unlike that new sim city thing... sc societies sucks... if any of you thinks about buying that... don't
 
00:32:53  <Gonozal_VIII> i can't understand how they could drag a good name like sim city down like that
 
00:33:29  <pv2008b> sim city 2000 or diaf imo *<:-)
 
00:33:59  <pv2008b> sure, it's not perfect, but then again, neither was transport tycoon deluxe. sim city 2000 could be an awesome open source remake if somebody talented were to make one.
 
00:34:11  <pv2008b> Zahl: i'm a tomte, yes.
 
00:34:30  <Gonozal_VIII> underpants gnome
 
00:34:39  <pv2008b> Gonozal_VIII: with a proper business plan
 
00:35:04  <Gonozal_VIII> what's your 2. ?
 
00:35:24  <pv2008b> i have a different 1 *<:-)
 
00:35:31  <Gonozal_VIII> 2nd step in the business plan
 
00:35:50  <pv2008b> i'll tell you this much, it does not involve stealing underwear
 
00:35:53  <pv2008b> we have h&m. underwear is cheap.
 
00:36:47  <Gonozal_VIII> isn't h&m everywhere anyways?
 
00:38:26  <Gonozal_VIII> 28 countries, 1500 stores according to their german website
 
00:39:31  <Gonozal_VIII> lots of cheap underpants
 
01:25:54  <Gonozal_VIII> hmmm coastline doesn't look good anymore with the newterrain grf
 
01:26:31  <Gonozal_VIII> some tiles have the wrong water now
 
01:30:05  <pv2008b> nightly builds ftw, i was able to use a binary search to determine which nightly the z-key bug was introduced in *<:-)
 
01:30:21  <pv2008b> now just need to mess with svn to see if i can find the exact revision that caused it.

01:33:25  <Gonozal_VIII> -Feature[newGRF]: Extend the Action 5, feature 0D usage. Patch by BigBB <-- what exactly does that do?
 
01:33:52  <Gonozal_VIII> i think that broke parts of the newterrain coastline
 
01:43:02  <pv2008b> i'm pretty sure it's something peter did.

01:55:43  <pv2008b> hey, is there an archive of older nightlies than 20070101? this bug here seems to be quite old. hell, even just osx binaries of older point releases would be helpful.
 
01:56:04  <pv2008b> (yeah, i can compile them i know, but it takes down a long time, i'm trying to find where a bug developed to start with)
 
02:09:18  <Sacro> pv2008b: archive.openttd.org ?
 
02:33:55  <G> only on openttd can you fly a plane directly into a skyscraper building without crashing

02:43:07  <Belugas> Gonozal_VIII, i'm aware of the troubles r11726 caused.  there is going to be a "fix" for that soon
 
02:43:19  <Belugas> give me a bit of time, if yoo do not mind...
 
02:43:40  <Gonozal_VIII> just wanted to mention it
 
02:45:27  *** DaleStan_ is now known as DaleStan
 
02:45:38  <Belugas> no prob :) that proves that people actually are testing stuff ^_^
 
02:45:58  <Belugas> and thanks, you did not cared to open up a bug entry ehehe
 
02:46:28  <Gonozal_VIII> hehe i don't do that without mentioning it here before
 
02:49:41  <Belugas> anyone that compiles using sdl around here?
 
03:03:35  <Belugas> ok, never mind, it's fine
 
03:07:09  <Eddi|zuHause2> happy new year folks...
 
03:07:30  <Eddi|zuHause2> in germany we say "good slide" ;)
 
03:07:38  <Gonozal_VIII> oooold that was 4h ago, move on already :P
 
03:07:52  <Eddi|zuHause2> Belugas is not quite there yet, i assume ;)
 
03:08:00  <Belugas> heheh  that will be in 2 hours indeed
 
03:08:11  <Belugas> so thanks Eddi|zuHause2, same to you ;)
 
03:08:38  <murray> yeah, glhf with the new year folks
 
03:14:56  <Belugas> have anice one, may all your wishes come true
 
03:15:07  <Gonozal_VIII> waaaait a minute
 
03:15:12  <Belugas> and... resolutions... welll... good luck
 
03:15:30  <Gonozal_VIII> you go to sleep at 10pm on the 31st of december?
 
03:15:59  <Belugas> a wife and a kid 4 year old
 
03:16:06  <Belugas> you do celebrate during the day
 
03:16:22  <Belugas> but, i'm pretty drunk alright
 
03:16:36  <murray> should teach the kid to celebrate and drink and fire rockets
 
03:19:06  <murray> now where will we get our lols
 
03:21:07  *** roboboy has joined #openttd
 
03:21:08  <Gonozal_VIII> no females on irc
 
03:26:41  *** ThePizzaKing has joined #openttd
 
03:38:54  <murray> females are just the y-axis of the graph of life
 
03:40:13  <Greyscale> more liek the z axis. Because they're hard to understand in plain 2D.
 
03:44:26  <pv2008b> points? i thought we were talking about axises
 
03:44:55  <Gonozal_VIII> you need axises to fix a point
 
03:45:34  <pv2008b> the origin remains in the same place irrespective of the axises
 
03:46:11  <Gonozal_VIII> there's no origin without axises
 
03:46:22  <Gonozal_VIII> all the same then
 
03:46:41  <pv2008b> yeah there is. the origin is always there even if you can't conceive of it
 
03:46:42  <Gonozal_VIII> no dimensions, no space, no point
 
03:46:54  <pv2008b> this sounds like a pointless discussion
 
03:47:06  <murray> axises are simply tools to describe the location of the point
 
03:47:24  <pv2008b> murray: precisely, so points can exist without axises
 
03:47:35  <murray> still; ur mom's a point
 
03:47:50  <murray> no, they are the axises
 
03:48:00  <murray> to describe where the point's located
 
03:48:19  <Gonozal_VIII> freaky replicator skeleton!
 
03:49:58  <murray> anyway, my axises say that i should be located in my bed now
 
03:50:06  <murray> enjoy next year and all that
 
03:50:17  <Gonozal_VIII> you can't have them parallel
 
03:50:26  <pv2008b> you can have two parallell axises
 
03:50:47  <Gonozal_VIII> that's redundant
 
03:50:48  <pv2008b> imagine a coordinate system with one set of coordinates in inches and the other in millimeters
 
03:51:28  <pv2008b> of hell, energies in joules and electronvolts
 
03:51:57  <Gonozal_VIII> you can measure hell?
 
04:02:00  <Gonozal_VIII> hehe blue screen "End Credits 4;04;00 DF"
 
04:05:42  <Eddi|zuHause2> <pv2008b> imagine a coordinate system with one set of coordinates in inches and the other in millimeters <- they tried that in one of the mars missions, didn't work out very well :p
 
04:06:07  <Gonozal_VIII> hehe i remember that
 
04:06:47  <Gonozal_VIII> hehehe booobies hehehe
 
04:08:24  <pv2008b> i think i just squished the bug with 'Z' not working properly
 
04:09:11  <Gonozal_VIII> you debugged females?
 
04:09:36  <Eddi|zuHause2> hm, to resonably transport stuff with trucks, industry output needs to be lowered...
 
04:09:55  <Gonozal_VIII> especially when you start in 1920
 
04:10:26  <pv2008b> not really, trucks just need to stop sucking
 
04:10:46  <pv2008b> the road station is one huge improvement to trucks
 
04:10:57  <Eddi|zuHause2> you shouldn't need more than two trucks per industry
 
04:11:12  <pv2008b> Eddi|zuHause2: and you don't if it it's short distance
 
04:11:19  <Eddi|zuHause2> but even for short lines you need like 10 trucks to make it work
 
04:11:20  <Gonozal_VIII> i found some nice layouts for high capacity truck stops... but you need hundreds of vehicles
 
04:11:24  <pv2008b> trucks should have increased capacity.
 
04:11:37  <pv2008b> there are grfs that do that i think
 
04:12:09  <Eddi|zuHause2> and if you need more than 3 trucks, you might have as well bought a train for that route
 
04:12:25  <pv2008b> yeah, either trains are too cheap or trucks are too expensivde
 
04:12:43  <Gonozal_VIII> trains and especially tracks are much too cheap
 
04:13:24  <pv2008b> also trucks should be able to benifit from a complete intercity road network *<:-)
 
04:13:28  <Gonozal_VIII> in reality it's a huge investment to build a railway through the wilderness
 
04:13:53  <Eddi|zuHause2> yeah, with max loan (1.000.000€) you shouldn't be able to build much more than one route and two trains
 
04:14:21  <Eddi|zuHause2> so on hard difficulty (200.000€ loan) it'd be hard to start with trains at all
 
04:15:59  <Gonozal_VIII> you can't start a railway company with 200k euro in rl
 
04:16:28  <pv2008b> but not if you ave to build the roads
 
04:17:03  <Eddi|zuHause2> yeah. roads between cities have been suggested multiple times...
 
04:17:16  <Gonozal_VIII> yes... like it was discussed in the forum a ai that connects cities with roads would be nice
 
04:17:44  <Gonozal_VIII> or even generate them at map generation
 
04:18:12  <pv2008b> unfortunately, AI:s tend to be bloody stupid because they're hard to get right
 
04:18:15  <Eddi|zuHause2> map generation makes more sense, i think, unless you also introduce highways and stuff
 
04:18:53  <Gonozal_VIII> yes... current ai roads suck
 
04:19:27  <pv2008b> AI = artificial idiot *<:-)
 
04:21:13  <Gonozal_VIII> you can build on lots of slopes now... shouldn't be too hard anymore to connect two cities with a straight road (and some tunnels/bridges)
 
04:22:08  <Eddi|zuHause2> "artificial intelligence" is an inherent contradiction similar to "random number generator"
 
04:22:47  <pv2008b> not really, intelligence doesn't neccessarilly imply sentience
 
04:23:00  <pv2008b> a computer program could in theory be intelligent
 
04:24:33  <glx> it is highly dependant on how much time spent the programmer to code the 'intelligence'

09:57:29  <Gonozal_VIII> but... they'll wake me up at 12... they'll want to feed me
 
09:58:42  <pavel1269> so you have ione hour ,)
 
09:59:51  <Gonozal_VIII> i'll just close my laptop then... and the pictures will be gone... then i sleep

10:12:22  <guru3> Cheers for that, and to all! Some new year cheer as well!
 
10:14:39  <Eddi|zuHause2> new cheer? gret :)
 
10:21:20  <peter__> my browser downloaded it instead of displaying it
 
10:26:28  <peter__> bah we need bendy bridges and tunnels
 
10:27:43  <peter__> like locomotion but better cos it's not locomotion
 
10:28:01  <Wolf01> F shaped.. uh, there's something wrong
 
10:28:19  <peter__> when do oil rigs appear?
 
10:28:26  <Wolf01> what about no tunnels at all, but the ability to build the rail underground directly?
 
10:28:51  <Wolf01> when is too late to build a route from oil rig to refinery
 
10:35:15  <Wolf01> uhmm, i don't like some things about ECS industries, and maybe the newindustries in general, but the worse thing is that when i need to rebuild a disappeared industry i can't because it is always too near to another industry...
 
10:37:25  <Wolf01> i had to fund 3 oil rigs in the middle of a gulf, and connect them with a pipe-styled rail station and a dock... luckily i have too much money so this big and expensive work was not noticed by my finances :P
 
10:38:27  <pavel1269> sun is shinying on me :(
 
10:38:58  <Wolf01> death is breathing on my neck
 
10:39:15  <Wolf01> oh wait, is only the opened window
 
10:39:23  <peter__> well nothing forces you to use new industries ;p
 
10:40:16  <Wolf01> they are very good, but i'm too used to the standard behaviour of the industries
 
10:40:31  <Wolf01> like multiple near industries or multiple same industries per town
 
10:49:14  <valhallasw> Took a total of 6 units to get unstuck. <-- wtf.

12:24:59  <pavel1269> question :) OpenTTD is "Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe" or "Open Transport Tycoon" ? :)
 
12:27:51  <pavel1269> so TTD means nothing? ^^
 
12:28:52  <pavel1269> so if anyone is talking about Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, so he's talking about other game? ^^
 
12:29:33  <ln-> though you never know what people are really talking about.
 
12:50:15  *** LordAzamath has joined #openttd
 
12:52:04  <LordAzamath> Happy New Year everyone
 
12:53:32  <ln-> rather, "19" + years since 1900
 
12:54:43  <Wolf01> uhm, in octal seem more futuristic: 3730
 
12:54:57  <LordAzamath> put it into little endian :D D8 07
 
12:56:30  <LordAzamath> 111 1101 0111 ended yesterday
 
12:56:41  <LordAzamath> now the ending is 1000
 
12:57:54  <Wolf01> we should wait 'til 2047, the 2048 is 1000 0000 0000, like the r10000 of OTTD :D
 
12:59:11  <LordAzamath> or OpenTTD 1.0.0.0.0  which is released 2048 :D
 
13:00:26  <LordAzamath> anyway for anyone interested..MORE alien blood
 
13:01:35  <Wolf01> nice depots, but they need more company colour :P
 
13:02:02  <Wolf01> can you make something like a writing or a logo on the sides of the depot?
 
13:03:10  <hylje> that depot stuff makes me want to make a large depot feature
 
13:04:03  <LordAzamath> it's full tile, so you can attach them
 
13:04:08  <hylje> i could of course start with a comprehensive design
 
13:04:18  <LordAzamath> I have no idea where to put more cc
 
13:04:30  <LordAzamath> the original depot didn't have it at all
 
13:04:40  <Wolf01> LordAzamath, a company logo in the walls?
 
13:05:15  <LordAzamath> yes, but *all* companies would have same logo :D
 
13:05:43  <Wolf01> doesn't bother for me :P
 
13:05:57  <LordAzamath> and it has to blend in somehow...
 
13:06:08  <LordAzamath> I guess they can...
 
13:06:13  <roboboy> maybe a 2band stripe at half hight
 
13:06:27  <roboboy> one in 1cc and the other in 2cc
 
13:11:13  <LordAzamath> hmm to have 2 cc I need to hassle with nfo code...

13:48:19  <pavel1269> can anyone help me with minimalizing something? :)
 
13:50:27  <pavel1269> ((((((a^b)|(b^c))^(a&c))&((a^b)|(b^c)))&(a|b))&(((a&b)^c)|b))
 
13:51:06  <pavel1269> i can give you table if you want :/
 
13:52:49  <pavel1269> just with use of ^,&,| :)
 
13:57:05  <Progman> looks like (~a&b)|(a&b&~c)
 
13:57:37  <pavel1269> gonna try what it will do i am not sure
 
14:00:44  <CIA-1> OpenTTD: peter1138 * r11732 /trunk/src/ (rail.h railtypes.h train_cmd.cpp): -Fix (r4150): elrail merge gave elrail, monorail & maglev unintended speed bonuses for curves, as the bonus was based on the railtype index. The bonus is now specified by a property of the railtype.
 
14:02:44  <Progman> a bit can be either 0 or 1, but not -1 ;)
 
14:02:52  <pavel1269> i know, but how can i get -3?
 
14:04:01  <Progman> depend on the size and if signed or unsigned
 
14:04:38  <pavel1269> and "byte" in ottd is signed? :)
 
14:05:32  <Progman> maybe the variable/type isn't but the output is
 
14:07:14  <Progman> how did you echo the value? and anyway, as you do bitmasking you dont care about the representation of the value
 
14:07:51  <peter__> %d is signed, %u is unsigned
 
14:08:30  <Progman> maybe you want %x or %X
 
14:09:25  <pavel1269> whats output of %xM
 
14:11:49  <pavel1269> okay, (~a&b)|(a&b&~c) works

14:26:38  <pavel1269> draw ... you can redraw stations to fit CSrails :)
 
14:27:06  <pavel1269> i mean NewGRF stations
 
14:27:35  <peter__> why do they need to be redrawn?

16:18:06  <Bjarni> I wouldn't mind getting a replacement set if that is what you are asking
 
16:18:20  <LordAzamath> it's almost everything we have
 
16:18:42  <LordAzamath> but I need smb else to decide what shall I draw next :D
 
16:19:52  <peter__> draw some gui elements
 
16:20:22  <LordAzamath> I tried that this morning and found out I can't draw Gui
 
16:20:41  <LordAzamath> atleast so that it would differ from the original ones
 
16:20:52  <LordAzamath> that's the problem with small sprites
 
16:21:03  <LordAzamath> They all are so similar,
 
16:23:57  <Bjarni> then how about trees and forests?
 
16:24:40  <pavel1269> LordAzamath: brickland :)
 
16:24:57  <LordAzamath> I'm still thinking what happened to SAC, maybe we could use her trees....
 
16:25:10  <LordAzamath> but it seems she left
 
16:25:23  <LordAzamath> SAC's stolen trees
 
16:25:44  <pavel1269> i have them in newrgf-static all time
 
16:25:48  <Bjarni> what are you talking about?
 
16:26:13  <LordAzamath> the name is SAC's Stolen Trees
 
16:26:25  <LordAzamath> I have no idea why this naming
 
16:26:42  <Bjarni> maybe we should ask the owner
 
16:26:42  <peter__> and the angle is wrong
 
16:27:18  <Wolf01> because somebody coded and released them before she does, if i remember
 
16:27:29  <LordAzamath> that would be Aegir
 
16:28:02  <peter__> by the way, no offence, by why so much effort into 8bpp when 32bpp is available to use?
 
16:28:19  <LordAzamath> "Graohics by SAC. Coded by Aegir, who has no shame"
 
16:28:32  <pavel1269> peter__: sameone can't use 32bpp property
 
16:28:33  <LordAzamath> in newgrf description
 
16:28:54  <pavel1269> like i can play only without animations at hard otherwise it kills my pc
 
16:29:20  <LordAzamath> because 32bpp still needs 8bpp sprites
 
16:29:41  <pavel1269> and no animations means = ugly water, unplayable CSsignals :(
 
16:29:45  <LordAzamath> and w/o replacement OpenTTD can't be fully freely distributed
 
16:30:12  <LordAzamath> w/o breaching copyright laws for original grpahics
 
16:30:18  <pavel1269> btw, who care about tree angle since tree is circuit? :P
 
16:30:24  <egladil> no it doesn't, 32bpp can use both 32bpp or 8bpp sprites
 
16:30:44  <Wolf01> not all trees are circles
 
16:30:54  <pavel1269> but all trees look good
 
16:30:54  <LordAzamath> yes but 32bpp needs 8bpp sprites to exist
 
16:31:42  <Wolf01> just make a blank grf and replace all the graphics with 32bpp
 
16:32:28  <LordAzamath> there are lot's of good reasons why not to do it, but I don't know them all...ask a dev
 
16:32:51  <LordAzamath> pavel, I guess the "angle" was maybe lightning angle
 
16:33:53  <LordAzamath> I just looked, the lightning angle is good
 
16:34:53  * LordAzamath keeps staring at stolen trees
 
16:35:02  <LordAzamath> they're just too good :(
 
16:35:22  <egladil> LordAzamath: will do :)
 
16:37:47  <peter__> you see too much trunk
 
16:38:15  <peter__> they're drawn as if you're a person at ground level
 
16:38:26  <peter__> but in the game your viewpoint is in the sky
 
16:38:57  <pavel1269> this means they are totaly wrong :X
 
16:39:00  <peter__> and as Wolf01 says there is not enough variety
 
16:39:16  <peter__> no tall but thin trees, iirc
 
16:39:45  <LordAzamath> does anybody know good train replacement set that only replaces graphics not stats? Something like generic set?
 
16:40:35  <peter__> your graphics replacement set i assume

17:04:00  <peter__> i don't remember it becoming broken
 
17:04:08  <peter__> but i guess it was since the last rewrite :o
 
17:04:34  <peter__> anyway, what local changes do you have? heh
 
17:05:21  <Bjarni> I'm trying a redesign that should improve newGRF compatibility with less messy code
 
17:05:30  *** peterbrett has joined #openttd
 
17:05:42  <Bjarni> and it should work even if newGRF makes up something I didn't think of
 
17:06:26  <peter__> well the "too long" trains problem was fixed
 
17:06:37  <peter__> i guess there are other problems though
 
17:06:39  *** XeryusTC has joined #openttd
 
17:07:16  <peter__> hmm, ukrs double metrocammel to sprinter or something?
 
17:08:08  <Bjarni> the issue is that whenever he notice an issue we add a fix for it. By design a whole lot of the newGRF features needed a fix (and some aren't fixed yet) and the code risks getting messy
 
17:08:22  <peter__> i thought it was pretty good now
 
17:08:23  <Bjarni> not to mention time consuming
 
17:08:36  <peter__> the "too long" trains problem was not even autoreplace related
 
17:09:41  *** Aerandir has joined #openttd
 
17:09:48  <LordAzamath> Bjarni>	the issue is that whenever he notice an issue we add a fix for it. By design a whole lot of the newGRF features needed a fix (and some aren't fixed yet) and the code risks getting messy
 
17:10:00  <LordAzamath> that's like osome of my biggest junctions
 
17:10:18  <LordAzamath> and think that they are now huge
 
17:10:37  <LordAzamath> when in the same time time I could do it with very little effort
 
17:10:49  <LordAzamath> bu I just won't rebuild the whole thing
 
17:11:12  <peter__> autoreplace has been rebuilt about 5 times now ;)
 
17:11:49  <Bjarni> actually my plan is to go though the train recursively instead of in a loop
 
17:12:15  <peter__> well anyway, i doubt that minor gui change will affect your changes at all
 
17:12:30  <Bjarni> this should fix the newgrf overwrite for what vehicles that can be connected
 
17:12:56  <peter__> i guess you need to detach all old engines, then attach new engines
 
17:13:11  <peter__> this needs transactional c++ ;)
 
17:13:47  <peter__> of course, in some cases it is correct that things can't be replaced
 
17:13:59  <Bjarni> it goes though the train and replaces the engines in a recursive function. Once it reaches the end it will join the train from the rear
 
17:14:28  <Bjarni> so changing a DMU to another one will not fail because the new and old can't be connected
 
17:15:08  <peter__> even so, it still works marvellously well
 
17:15:20  <peter__> remember when you ended up with single engines running around instead...
 
17:15:23  <Bjarni> but it's an experiment. I'm wondering about how fast it will work. If it turns out to be a slowdown then I will likely try to figure out some other way to solve this
 
17:18:04  <Bjarni> my biggest problem is how to revert the train to the original state and costs to 0 when it fails
 
17:18:15  <Bjarni> but I might have a solution :)
 
17:18:25  <peter__> yeah, that's the messiest bit
 
17:18:36  <Eddi|zuHause2> you need a vehicle sandbox
 
17:18:53  <Bjarni> I guess you could call my idea for a sandbox
 
17:19:51  <Bjarni> basically it allocates memory for the whole chain and copies each vehicle into it. If something fails then it just sells everything and creates the train again from the backup
 
17:19:56  <Bjarni> well.. that's the idea
 
17:20:08  <Bjarni> it's not done yet so I can't test the idea yet
 
17:22:29  <Bjarni> well... I hope that if the backup system works then the code should be less messy because it just goes ahead and presumes that it will work until proven otherwise
 
17:22:55  <Eddi|zuHause2> sandboxes of certain selections of the game state would be a good idea for a lot of things
 
17:23:23  <peter__> copy & paste patch? heh
 
17:23:32  <Bjarni> so you are saying that we should start by making a sandbox feature?
 
17:23:47  <peter__> sounds like way too much work for one feature ;(
 
17:24:16  <Bjarni> snapshot of economics and the ability to restore this... could be an interesting feature
 
17:25:12  <Eddi|zuHause2> it could be used for all the command stuff, just do the ~DC_EXEC part in the sandbox
 
17:25:27  <Bjarni> I have wondered about the commands. They all estimate if it's possible and then they assert if they estimate incorrectly. It would be more interesting to just do the commands with the ability to revert the changes
 
17:26:48  <Bjarni> murray: you aren't allowed to cover the license plate like that. You better take it off again
 
17:27:52  <Eddi|zuHause2> a lada... haven't seen that one in ages...
 
17:28:27  <Bjarni> I thought you were living in Lada country
 
17:30:05  <Eddi|zuHause2> lada is a russian car, i believe
 
17:30:22  <Eddi|zuHause2> they were qute common here until ~15 years ago
 
17:30:30  <Bjarni> hence why you once lived in Lada country
 
17:30:36  <Bjarni> DDR used Russian stuff
 
17:33:23  <Bjarni>  <peter__> sounds like way too much work for one feature ;( <-- agreed. Either I make this more general or I will not finish it
 
17:33:25  <Eddi|zuHause2> well, most common were the german produced car ("Trabbi" (Trabant), and "Wartburg")
 
17:33:45  <Bjarni> general as in "other functions can call on this functionality too"

18:14:20  <Bjarni> Eddi|zuHause2: actually I was thinking about human beings
 
18:14:33  <peter__> it's not that i don't believe you
 
18:14:39  <Eddi|zuHause2> i was mainly referring to the smilie ;)
 
18:14:41  <peter__> it's just that "lies" is a standard method of denial :p
 
18:15:07  <pv2b> peter__: you watch too much of the early seasons of stargate sg-1.
 
18:15:16  <Eddi|zuHause2> anyway, it's better than the clown smilies, for sure
 
18:15:46  <peter__> anyway, it's not broken, it just behaves differently
 
18:17:37  <pv2b> explain to me how it behaves. i can't find any pattern except "erratic"
 
18:25:27  <peter__> seems to me if you're zoomed out, it zooms in on the centre of the screen, otherwise it scrolls
 
18:25:51  <peter__> presumably it needs to zoom in to where the mouse pointer is
 
18:27:23  <LordAzamath> that one, that you will shut up :))
 
18:27:25  <LordAzamath> 	<pv2b>	oh, that. well, successful, except for one bug. i forgot that some global variables are initialized in another fuction on windows than on posix machines, so i had an uninitialized global. otherwise it should work.

18:38:20  <pv2b> peter__: btw, just for reference, which platform did you test that on?
 
18:38:49  <pv2b> i'm just curious becuase rubidium couldn't reproduce it on his linux system apparently
 
18:39:01  <pv2b> so either he was doing it wrong, or it was platform specific
 
18:39:17  <pv2b> i guess he was doing it wrong if you could reproduce it on your end *<:-)
 
18:39:35  <peter__> i'd guess it's because the bug report didn't contain enough information
 
18:39:55  <peter__> or something, who knows
 
18:40:19  *** peter__ has joined #openttd
 
18:40:28  <peter__> that wasn't meant to happen
 
18:40:35  <pv2b> "The zoom key (Z) doesn't center and zoom like it should. It just zooms, the centering becomes erratic. It still centers if zoomed in 100%, but not from a smaller setting."
 
18:42:33  <pv2b> peter__: ooh, your solution seems to work slightly different from my patch if i'm reading the code correctly.
 
18:42:49  <pv2b> because here, if you have smooth scrolling on it'll smooth scroll if you use Z
 
18:42:58  <pv2b> even when zooming in, which could be a long distance
 
18:43:04  *** Progman has joined #openttd
 
18:43:13  <peter__> but it zooms fairly quickly, so...
 
18:43:29  <peter__> and if you don't want it, turn off smooth scrolling, heh
 
18:44:16  <pv2b> that, or just zoom use immediate=true when zooming *<:-)
 
18:44:27  <pv2b> but ok, whatever, i don't care. i don't use smooth scrolling anyway

18:54:03  <Eddi|zuHause2> i can design junctions
 
18:54:13  <Eddi|zuHause2> just they always end up being designed for PBS ;)
 
18:54:29  <pv2b> a lot of junctions would be much more compact and efficient with pbs

18:57:16  *** MDGrein has joined #openttd
 
18:57:50  <peter__> any thoughts on newgrf's tilt feature?
 
18:58:37  <peter__> it's just a flag that if set gives trains less speed penalty when going round curves
 
18:59:16  <Eddi|zuHause2> shouldn't that be part of "realistic" acceleration?
 
19:01:08  <peter__> but our curve handling is different from TTDPatch's so following how it works there is probably not the best result
 
19:01:53  <hylje> pv2b: it works, you're doing it wrong
 
19:02:14  <pv2b> the redirect containing a ,
 
19:02:20  <Eddi|zuHause2> pv2b: your browser/url catcher/whatever probably doesn't work with the ,
 
19:02:34  <pv2b> yeah, i wonder what the http spec says about , files
 
19:03:40  <pv2b> Eddi|zuHause2: that junction at the very left can be done with an extra bridge and eliminate one level crossing without slowing the train down at all
 
19:03:53  <Eddi|zuHause2> bridges are bad
 
19:04:03  <pv2b> bridges are less bad than level crossings
 
19:04:17  <Eddi|zuHause2> (interestingly, i have that conversation every time...=
 
19:04:40  <pv2b> and in this case you can do it without any changes in when a train has to go uphill and downhill
 
19:04:48  <pv2b> so you don't even lose anything using bridges
 
19:05:27  <Eddi|zuHause2> i lose [with one o even!!] realism
 
19:06:04  <Eddi|zuHause2> that is one of the words that look as bad with one o as with two o, that's the prime reason why i always get it wrong
 
19:07:26  *** Gonozal_VIII has joined #openttd
 
19:08:00  <Eddi|zuHause2> TTD bridges are unrealistic by themselves (e.g. too low), and building bridges into simple junctions is even more unrealistic

19:23:43  <Eddi|zuHause2> yeah, depots are always ugly
 
19:24:04  <Eddi|zuHause2> because you need exits in all directions
 
19:24:26  <pavel1269> but you can do that not that much ugly or tataly different
 
19:24:29  <Eddi|zuHause2> instead of have the train leave backwards, and then turn on the line
 
19:24:56  <Eddi|zuHause2> all station tracks are designed for leaving in both directions
 
19:26:23  <Eddi|zuHause2> i can't have the depot how i would like it to fit the track design

22:04:42  <pavel1269> what he creats, thats just great!
 
22:05:00  <Gonozal_VIII> hmm the roof doesn't look that hard
 
22:05:16  <Gonozal_VIII> regular shapes are easy.. the tree and flowers are difficult
 
22:05:36  <pavel1269> since i cant draw anything more complex than one color circle ...
 
22:06:20  *** Farden123 has joined #openttd
 
22:07:43  <pavel1269> wow i spent last 4 days trying to get to work RR
 
22:08:33  <pavel1269> route restrictions == programmable signal
 
22:08:49  <Gonozal_VIII> i still want programmable switches :D
 
22:08:53  * glx is still waiting for feedback about is small patch
 
22:09:10  <pavel1269> "about is small patch" ?
 
22:09:37  * pavel1269 doesn't see anythink :/
 
22:10:37  <glx> I want to know if it compiles with buildottd or mingw using mingw-runtime 3.13 or older
 
22:11:29  <glx> I know it's ok for MSVC (I have it)
 
22:11:42  <UnderBuilder> a question: is propietary the .grf format?
 
22:11:52  <UnderBuilder> because it was developed by microprose
 
22:12:22  <UnderBuilder> if that's propietary, then we have to need to replace it
 
22:12:58  <peter__> depends how you define proprietory
 
22:13:12  <peter__> at least 4 different pieces of software handle them
 
22:13:24  <peter__> and the specification is available
 
22:13:42  <UnderBuilder> I mean if there are patents involved
 
22:14:06  <peter__> i doubt anyone's bothered to look
 
22:14:49  <Gonozal_VIII> ding fries are done
 
22:19:37  <UnderBuilder> one question... can I use graphics replacement set in a server that doesn't have the set on?
 
22:20:01  <pavel1269> put it in your config under newgr-static
 
22:20:26  <Gonozal_VIII> weeeeell not all of them
 
22:20:47  <pavel1269> you can have there all newgrf which are not chanching some mechanism or statistic in-game or it will cause desync for ya
 
22:21:42  <peter__> it shouldn't cause desyncs, it should just ignore the newgrf entry
 
22:22:02  <glx> desyncs should not happen as openttd checks if it is safe
 
22:22:11  * pavel1269 is putting all newgrf to newgrf-static
 
22:24:42  <CIA-1> OpenTTD: peter1138 * r11741 /trunk/src/ (train_cmd.cpp vehicle_base.h): -Feature: Add support for NewGRF's train 'tilt' flag. Trains with tilt capability (specific details are per NewGRF set) will be given a 20% speed limit bonus on curves.
 
22:25:51  <glx> hmm just though about it, but I need someone to check my patch with cygwin too
 
22:29:28  <Mortomes> Well, going to finland would put you at a safe distance from the tsunami.
 
22:34:13  <CIA-1> OpenTTD: peter1138 * r11742 /trunk/src/ (6 files): -Codechange [FS#1319]: Run window tick events when paused, so that news pop-ups and the about window still progress. For other windows the events are ignored when paused.

22:42:18  <SpComb> what's that finland really supposed to mean there? :o
 
22:43:17  <Gonozal_VIII> inland would be my guess
 
22:43:39  <SpComb> as in, what the signmaker meant with that
 
22:43:43  <SpComb> or meant to mean or such
 
22:43:55  <Gonozal_VIII> as in away from the coast
 
22:44:19  <Gonozal_VIII> would at least make some sense
 
22:45:37  <Rubidium_> I guess Finland, ON is far enough from the coast to be safe for tsunamis
 
22:48:09  <pavel1269> peter__: wow, never saw that ;)
 
22:50:32  <Gonozal_VIII> but i guess a strong building at the coast could be safer than the same building further away.. less debris in the water there
 
22:51:13  <Rubidium_> but more 'pressure' behind the water close at the coast
 
22:52:06  <Gonozal_VIII> yes that's why i said a strong building... nothing wooden... maybe a lighthouse
 
22:52:55  <Rubidium_> any idea what the pressures could be?
 
22:53:33  <Rubidium_> and the weakest part of a building are usually the windows and the door
 
22:53:39  <Gonozal_VIII> depends on the shape of the walls
 
22:55:58  <Gonozal_VIII> i guess you could apply the same principles for a tsunami as they are used for avalanches
 
22:59:15  <Rubidium_> I guess that's not possible due to the fact that water is very fluid and snow is (much more) solid; imagine a bin with snow and a small hole in the bottom, then push the whole snow mass down -> snow won't poor through the hole, water will
 
22:59:51  <Rubidium_> thus, if snow breaks your window lots less will flow into your house than it would with water
 
23:00:20  <Rubidium_> on the other hand the solidness could give more pressure
 
23:00:24  <Gonozal_VIII> you don't have to keep the water away from the houses, you only have to slow it down and lead the force to safe places
 
23:01:12  <Gonozal_VIII> the houses will still get flooded but they won't be washed away
 
23:01:29  <Rubidium_> true, but one hole gets *very* big very quickly when water poors through into the areas where it should not go
 
23:01:42  <Rubidium_> furthermore avalanches are of much smaller scale
 
23:02:39  <Rubidium_> if it's a few hundred meters wide then it's big. A tsunami is rather in the order of hundreds of kilometers, so devertion gets much harder
 
23:03:19  <Gonozal_VIII> yes, that's right... but there are also a lot more people
 
23:03:36  <glx> but you can be warned way before the tsunami
 
23:04:24  <Rubidium_> on the other hand, big avalanches can usually be prevented by setting of much smaller ones; tsunamis can't
 
23:05:27  <Gonozal_VIII> you could try to set off small earthquakes instead of waiting for a big one :-)
 
23:09:01  <dekan> hey, i'm having a problem with my gamserver .. it keeps on showing as different ports on the master server
 
23:09:17  *** Wolf01|AWAY is now known as Wolf01
 
23:10:38  <Gonozal_VIII> 3979 both tcp and udp
 
23:11:00  <dekan> wel,l i mean, it's not port forwarded .. it has it's own ip
 
23:11:48  <Gonozal_VIII> pavel, what did you do?
 
23:11:50  <dekan> i'm sure it used to work with earlier versions without issues
 
23:12:13  <Gonozal_VIII> i saw your server on lots of different ports too
 
23:12:27  <dekan> if i use -n from command line i can connect
 
23:12:52  <dekan> oh, and the server is openbsd if that makes any diff
 
23:14:07  <dekan> i'm assuming it's picking up on the port it's coming from .. and it's not coming from the rigth port for some reason
 
23:15:50  <dekan> oh i turned server_advertise off for a bit also
 
23:15:57  <dekan> but i wonder if there's a way to kill the current onse
 
23:17:07  *** Progman has joined #openttd
 
23:18:08  <UnderBuilder> I am planning on do the fences for the opengrf proyect
 
23:19:24  <pavel1269> 00:11 <Gonozal_VIII> pavel, what did you do? --- ???
 
23:20:22  <pavel1269> my server dont work ...
 
23:20:30  <pavel1269> id didnt figured it out
 
23:20:33  <dekan> pavel, so you never managed to fix it?
 
23:20:43  <dekan> using openttd -n 202.36.174.56  it works
 
23:20:46  <pavel1269> tryed, but unsuccesful
 
23:24:02  <dekan> i think it's actualyl sending the individual ip addresses back from random pors
 
23:27:01  <UnderBuilder> there is a trouble... ship depots and road depots opengrfs have got the same grfid
 
23:30:24  <dekan> pavel1269:29:59.027820 202.74.203.90.34172 > 202.36.174.56.3979: udp 3 (DF)
 
23:30:25  <dekan> pavel1269:29:59.053875 202.36.174.56.62065 > 202.74.203.90.34172: udp 77
 
23:30:35  <dekan> that seems to be the issue
 
23:32:35  <pavel1269> dekan: what's that? :D
 
23:32:56  <pavel1269> orrr ... hos can i solve that?
 
23:33:19  <dekan> i don't know why it stuck your name in it
 
23:33:50  <dekan> but uhh, yeh. . i'm rtying to determine how it decides what outgoing port to use
 
23:34:02  <dekan> you see how it comes from port 34172 to 3979
 
23:34:06  <pavel1269> everything setuped right, nothing
 
23:34:10  <dekan> then it replies from another port, back to 34172
 
23:37:30  <dekan> not sure what to google fro exactly
 
23:38:56  <pavel1269> dekan: are you registered at forums?
 
23:51:20  <dekan> okay, i've got some ideas now
 
23:51:26  <dekan> i need to show the debug stuff though
 
23:53:12  <dekan> bah, and this time it works
 
continue to next day ⏵
