08:30:37 <Celestar> ESA is recruiting new astronauts. Should I apply or not?
08:30:47 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: rubidium * r12648 /trunk/src/ (50 files in 3 dirs):
08:30:47 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: -Feature: allow four different non-stop types in a single game instead of two. The "TTDP compatible order" setting now only sets the default behaviour of new trains.
08:30:47 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: -Feature: allow three different load type in a single game instead of two. One can choose full load all and full load any instead of full load being governed by the "full load any" patch setting.
08:31:41 <ln> Celestar: sure, be the first one to run OTTD in space.
08:32:29 <Celestar> peter1138: I'm really really really thinking of doing so
08:33:15 <Rubidium> you can always fail a test when you don't want it anymore
08:33:18 <Celestar> \o/ Rubidium that'S a feature which I have long tried to commit, but never really finished.
08:33:30 <peter1138> damn it, my home adsl's gone tits up
08:33:34 <peter1138> so much for using the fast pc :(
08:35:27 <Celestar> Rubidium: I probably will apply
08:36:14 *** Morloth has joined #openttd
08:37:16 <Trond> nice new load type settings Rubidium! Thanks :)
08:37:49 <Trond> quick question: is there any way to decrease the savegame version in a saved game?
08:38:00 *** Ammller has joined #openttd
08:38:23 <Celestar> Trond: how should that work? :)
08:38:35 <Trond> I have no idea Celestar
08:38:51 <Trond> I have a savegame that due to a patch 'bug' is saveg ver. 99 :(
08:39:07 <Celestar> what ver should it be?
08:39:18 <Trond> gonozal set savegame ver to 99 in one of his daylenght patches
08:39:31 <Celestar> Trond: well, you can TRY to manually modify the savegame.
08:39:37 <Trond> he nicreased trunk by 10 I believe
08:39:51 <Trond> well... I did search for 99 in that savegame, and got a few hits
08:39:55 <peter1138> so just play it with his patch, heh
08:40:12 <Trond> its old patch, I want new features on this savegame too...
08:40:16 <Celestar> Trond: well, did you unzip it first? :) and the savegame revision must be pretty early in the savegame
08:40:39 <Trond> unzip? are savegames saved as a compressed file?
08:40:56 <Ammller> is there somewhere a documentation about savegame format?
08:41:19 <Celestar> Ammller: there's a bit in the source files :)
08:41:19 <Trond> okey, I will have to look into that Celestar, that could be usefull info
08:41:28 <Celestar> Ammller: some comments and stuff
08:41:42 <Celestar> Ammller: maybe have a look at docs.openttd.org .. (when was the last time we updated that?)
08:45:49 * Celestar just wondered why is irssi said "Unknown command: /loot" :P
08:46:41 <Celestar> I'm not quite sure what I even wanted to enter :P
08:51:38 <Celestar> You looted: 1 Ariane 5 Solid Rocket Booster ...
08:52:27 <Celestar> mount the F-1 engine on your car :P
08:53:02 <Celestar> "No officer, I'm pretty sure this vehicle can handle 40 million HP" :P
08:54:05 *** Maedhros has joined #openttd
08:54:39 <Celestar> he ... ESA astronauts all learn russian :>
08:54:55 <ln> Celestar: russian is not that hard.
08:55:05 <ln> easier grammar than in german...
08:55:07 <Celestar> I understand about 5% :P
08:58:05 <shodan> hah what game is that you are talking about?
08:58:22 <Celestar> I'm just being stupid. Too much wine yesterday
09:03:28 *** stillunknown has joined #openttd
09:08:48 <Roujin> I've had a funny idea earlier...
09:09:10 <Roujin> i thought about making a jump 'n run style ottd scenario :D
09:10:06 <Roujin> where you have to navigate a road vehicle through a route full of obstacles (maglev level crossing...) to its destination, only using its start/stop and turn button
09:18:05 <peter1138> ^ best ever use of an eeepc
09:46:42 *** roboman has joined #openttd
10:02:37 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: rubidium * r12649 /trunk/src/ (lang/english.txt order_gui.cpp):
10:02:37 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: -Fix: refit orders not being shown.
10:02:37 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: -Fix: unusable non-stop orders shown for waypoints and depots.
10:03:53 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
10:04:59 *** lobster_MB has joined #openttd
10:18:15 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: rubidium * r12650 /trunk/src/ (5 files in 2 dirs):
10:18:15 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: -Feature: ability to force a vehicle to not load at a station.
10:18:15 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: -Feature: ability to force a vehicle to not unload at a station.
10:19:35 *** lobster_MB has joined #openttd
10:19:47 <Rubidium> Roujin: you've missed the best part of it already ;)
10:21:06 <Roujin> do the buttons cycle through the different options now?
10:24:10 <Roujin> I'll just go and try it out... nice work!
10:41:47 <Roujin> hmm there are some odd situations with the new options
10:42:04 <Celestar> Rubidium: someone's not happy :P
10:42:36 <Roujin> I just want to help sorting out bugs
10:44:10 <Roujin> I even went away from my own code for that :P
10:47:06 <pm|work> hey, that are nifty features wrt to load orders :)
10:47:11 <Roujin> for example, selecting "no loading" as load option and "Unload all" as unload option, it results in "transfer and take all"
10:47:41 <Roujin> no, results in "transfer and take cargo" - sorry
10:49:19 <Roujin> also, minor graphical glitches with the dropdown boxes
10:49:57 <Roujin> x size seems a bit too low, maybe forgot about the border? that's 2-3 px or so
10:50:12 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
10:55:18 <Roujin> Rubidium: i'll just post it on bugspray, ok?
10:56:50 <Maedhros> Roujin: he's not here at the moment, but flyspray is the best choice anyway :)
11:07:21 *** [1]Roujin has joined #openttd
11:08:34 <peter1138> dw->widget[0].right = width + 1;
11:08:43 <peter1138> dw->widget[0].right = width - 1;
11:14:55 *** Digitalfox_Home has joined #openttd
11:29:22 <King-J> Is it usual for trams to get stuck? I've got one which is stuck on a bit of track constantly doing a 'turn left' animation
11:29:34 *** King-J is now known as KingJ
11:30:34 <[1]Roujin> does the tram track end there?
11:30:52 <[1]Roujin> then it can't go on nor turn
11:31:07 <KingJ> No, it's connected to where it wants to turn
11:31:12 <KingJ> but not where it's coming from
11:31:27 <KingJ> And can't send to depot, turn around etc
11:31:53 <elmex> i'm gone for some months and this is what happens: someone implements PBS ;-/
11:34:00 <[1]Roujin> did you change any newGRFs during game?
11:34:11 *** divoafx has joined #openttd
11:34:56 <[1]Roujin> because this can lead to all kinds of strange behavior
11:35:11 <KingJ> No reset option is there?
11:37:14 <Celestar> your best bet is the console :P
11:38:23 <[1]Roujin> well, if you can reproduce it, file a bug report on flyspray. preferably with a savegame shortly before it happens attached..
11:39:25 <KingJ> This is the first time i've seen it happen, but if it occours again, I will
11:39:33 <KingJ> Celestar, which console command in particular?
11:39:35 <Celestar> don't you have autosaves?
11:39:40 <Celestar> KingJ: I'm just looking
11:39:49 <Celestar> didn'T find anything useful at the moment
11:44:11 <Celestar> sorry KingJ no usable option found :(
11:48:00 <Trond> KingJ: did you try to remove the track it is supposed to enter, and then adding it again? sometimes it can help I think
11:48:49 <KingJ> Oh, one question. What do you think the ideal train length is for building a huge network? I currently use 10 with signals every 6, but corners are a nightmare.
11:49:01 <KingJ> Trond: Just tried that. Didn't fix it
11:50:17 <[1]Roujin> KingJ: what do you mean with corners are a nightmare?
11:50:33 <Trond> I have a weakness for small things, so I use trainlenght 10 as you do... works fine for me... (10 as in 5 tiles)
11:50:40 <Maedhros> KingJ: have you tried manually reversing the tram?
11:51:37 <KingJ> Maedhros: Clicking the reverse arrow on the veichle info/viewport window? Yes, dosen't change it
11:53:50 *** roboman has joined #openttd
11:54:19 <[1]Roujin> something else about the new orders...
11:54:30 <DorpsGek> Celestar: Open Bugs: 33; Not assigned: 26; Closed this week: 7; Opened this week: 10
11:54:47 <[1]Roujin> shouldn't "go via ..." type orders have loading/unloading options disabled?
11:55:21 <[1]Roujin> i mean, when going via a station (that means don't stop there), it's pretty useless to set any loading/unloading options
11:56:34 <Trond> OMG I managed to fix the diff for distant joint stations myself *shock*
11:57:21 <Trond> it even compiles AND work after starting the game :D
11:57:41 * Celestar puts his fingers in his ears *boom*
11:58:00 <[1]Roujin> congratulations, you're a hacker now.
11:58:27 <Trond> thats what maxxis said a few years back when I was hooked on sims ;)
11:59:44 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: peter1138 * r12651 /trunk/src/widgets/dropdown.cpp: -Fix (r12644) [FS#1915]: Dropdown widget width should be one pixel less than window width, not one more.
11:59:55 <[1]Roujin> next thing, transfer should be in unload options...
12:00:23 <[1]Roujin> peter: you're committing this without being able to test it yourself? wow, that's trusting :P
12:01:03 <[1]Roujin> you never know, I might have included a viscious virus in that diff?
12:01:34 <peter1138> you might've done, but i didn't need a diff to see the change i'd already proposed...
12:03:06 <[1]Roujin> but maybe this little change will... erm... turn computers all over the world that are running openTTD into evil monsters, destroying cities and eating humans and stuff...
12:03:18 <[1]Roujin> you never know before testing...
12:03:47 <[1]Roujin> trust me, I've seen that already. It happens. Regulary.

12:05:31 *** Priski- has joined #openttd
12:05:56 *** Priski- is now known as Priski
12:06:31 <[1]Roujin> now, more seriously, do you agree with me that transfer should be grouped into the unloading orders? does anyone actually care?
12:07:11 <[1]Roujin> I mean, there's no unload type that can actually be combined with transfer
12:07:48 <[1]Roujin> the old "transfer + unload = transfer and leave empty" can now be (more logically) archieved with "transfer + no loading"
12:12:17 <SmatZ> it would be nice for transfers
12:12:27 <SmatZ> if vehicle wouldn't load cargo it unloaded
12:12:53 <SmatZ> so a cargopacket would remember the last vehicle transfererd that packet
12:13:00 <SmatZ> if it doesn't work this way already
12:13:16 <[1]Roujin> i don't think so...
12:13:42 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
12:13:42 <[1]Roujin> but in most cases you can use the transfer and leave empty combination... no?
12:14:39 <pm|work> Roujin: so far. But SmatZ says it :) terminals for pax...
12:14:47 *** UserError has joined #openttd
12:15:06 <[1]Roujin> mmh you have a point there..
12:15:36 *** Slowpoke has joined #openttd
12:16:04 <pm|work> is there an option to only load and keep the current cargo (w/o unloading first)?
12:16:23 <pm|work> nice. Good for Bus circular routes...
12:16:24 <[1]Roujin> you can choose "no unload" now
12:17:02 <Ammller> maybe also a skip stop at 100% ?
12:17:02 <[1]Roujin> in combination with any of "normal load", "full load" and "full load any cargo"
12:17:56 <SmatZ> Ammller: conditions are not possible (yet)
12:18:03 <[1]Roujin> haven't tested that, but I doubt that it would skip the stop automatically...
12:19:03 <Ammller> hmm, do you talk about trunk?
12:19:18 <[1]Roujin> yes, today's commits
12:20:28 <[1]Roujin> so you'll need to check out svn for that, or wait till tonight's nightly ;)
12:24:41 <pm|work> Ammller: along with autoupdate and this quick pace of dev it might even be an idea to daily update the ps server :)
12:27:52 <Ammller> update is a thing of 5 mins, so it could also be done right after nightlies are created
12:28:24 <Ammller> if we would take the nightly build for server itself, it would be done in 30 secs
12:28:25 <pm|work> yes. But that's the time many people are connected. In the eye of "continuous service" 4am is better.
12:28:59 <Ammller> and if the "autopudate" breaks?
12:29:31 <pm|work> :O we have it fall back to the previous version
12:29:57 <pm|work> but certainly that's a point...
12:30:37 <Ammller> currently, there is no admin outside europe timezone
12:33:02 <pm|work> hm... currently I don't plan to re-locate to a place outside Europe...
12:34:19 <pm|work> I buy a "b" for peter.
12:36:02 * pm|work sends an angry bee towards hylje
12:36:24 * Celestar ponders whether he should restart his cbh efforts
12:36:40 <hylje> Celestar: no we will never need such buggery!
12:36:58 * pm|work wonders what "cbh" might stand for...
12:37:51 * pm|work hands Celestar a cup of coffee and strings a carrot to a string...
12:38:18 * hylje ponders whether a cup of coffee on a stick would be more effective
12:38:28 * pm|work thinks that smiling at Celestar might require him to change sex to work...
12:41:11 * Celestar wonders what you're all doing
12:41:18 * pm|work abandons the idea with the stick and just keeps the carrot.
12:41:39 <Celestar> pm|work: explain ...
12:42:42 <pm|work> oh, take a few hundred images with white dots (imaged particles). Try to obtain their trajectories while there are hundrets of particles on each image...
12:43:11 <pm|work> but I'm interested in the particles themselves.
12:43:38 <pm|work> astrophysics is the short answer.
12:43:49 * Celestar wants to do that as well ;)
12:44:15 <Celestar> Garching, DE here ;)
12:44:31 <pm|work> we're doing research on the first stages of planet formation --> small particles clustering :)
12:44:40 <pm|work> ah... what do you do there?
12:45:33 <Celestar> Soyuz TMA-12 has only 300m to go to docking \o/
12:46:02 <pm|work> Garching has also many astrophysics institutes...
12:46:18 <Celestar> yeah. I'm considering applying for a job there.
12:46:26 <Celestar> but I didn't study physics
12:46:58 <Celestar> :o ... 10 more planets found since I last checked
12:47:05 <pm|work> well... they can make good use of engineers as well :)
12:47:26 <Celestar> pm|work: as long as I don't have to touch Fortran
12:47:35 <pm|work> Celestar: I'd expect the number to rise even more steeply once the space borne missions churn out data...
12:47:40 <Celestar> WTF? Is the JPL doing an April's fools?
12:47:47 <pm|work> urgs. I don't at least.
12:47:52 <Celestar> pm|work: Kepler at least ....
12:48:32 <pm|work> Yeah. My usual reference is exoplanet.eu
12:48:48 <Celestar> yeah but it's less pretty :P
12:49:08 <Celestar> Soyuz is go for docking
12:49:30 <Celestar> oh ... discovered by transit... nice.
12:50:46 <pm|work> :) Yeah. That's what the Corot mission is going to do: transits. Lots of transits...
12:51:05 <Celestar> pm|work: please tell me. From a stability point of view, are Hot Jupiters a likely thing to form?
12:51:05 <pm|work> They're just holding back their data... kind of embargo :S
12:51:26 <Celestar> well, they're easy to detect ...
12:51:37 <pm|work> until they were discovered no-one would have predicted them.
12:51:49 <Celestar> that's what I have read from the literature as well
12:52:09 <Celestar> your models need adjusting :P
12:52:31 <pm|work> The crucial point not yet decided how it works is: how are they stopped from falling into their star. They cannot be formed that far inward.
12:53:01 <Celestar> for the Soyuz till docking.
12:53:05 <Celestar> new ISS crew arriving today
12:53:26 <pm|work> aye :) You got to do anything with it?
12:53:35 <Celestar> I really hope the Darwin or TPF missions get their go-ahead soon
12:53:48 <Celestar> not directly. except that NASA TV is the TV channel I watch most
12:53:53 <Celestar> because I'm a space-nut
12:54:06 <Celestar> I don't feel like staying on the ground :P
12:54:26 <pm|work> The funny thing: military has the most advanced tracking algorithms. But you don't get hold of them :S
12:54:48 <Celestar> the OWL would have been of some help too
12:54:51 <pm|work> --> military air space control and automatic air craft recoginition
12:54:52 <Celestar> but it got cancelled :S
12:55:27 <Celestar> are 40m enough for direct planet imaging?
12:55:57 <pm|work> Depends upon distance to star and distance star-planet and absolute magnitude of star and size of planet
12:56:01 <Celestar> we need a proper telescope on the moon.
12:56:25 <Celestar> I'm still amazed how the Soyuz docking system works.
12:56:34 <Celestar> totally autonomous if need be.
12:56:43 <pm|work> yeah... quite a nice tech
12:56:56 <Celestar> the ATV is basically the only other vehicle who can do it... and that's a week old :P
12:56:57 <pm|work> Russians build robust
12:57:32 <pm|work> yes... and proven space-worthy :)
12:57:59 <pm|work> proven concept is so important for space tech... it's really difficult to get things qualified...
12:58:29 <Celestar> "There are two problems in spaceflight: Gravitation and paperwork. We can lick gravity, but the paperwork is overwhelming"
12:59:11 <pm|work> Got a report to write... - and it's only planning phase.
13:00:08 <Celestar> I've a draft paper to finish till Tuesday
13:00:17 <Celestar> and currently, I have zip
13:00:30 <Celestar> zero, nada, nothing, niente
13:00:35 <Celestar> I have results tho :P
13:00:54 <Celestar> I just need to write about 8 pages of text :P
13:00:57 <pm|work> Then the rest is just low-brain work :D
13:01:13 <Celestar> the usual yada-yada and brown-nosing people who are important in the business (references)
13:01:47 *** pm|work is now known as planetmaker
13:01:55 <Celestar> no one reads that anyway :)
13:02:15 <planetmaker> Important are two things: abstract and summary.
13:02:30 <Celestar> 1) read abstract, 2) look at figures, 3) add to references
13:03:17 <Celestar> I have my headings already however :P
13:04:22 <Celestar> there is quite some traffic going on at the ISS recently.
13:05:07 <Celestar> Atlantis, Progress 18, ATV, Endeavour, TMA-12, Discovery coming soon... it really begins to become a lively place
13:05:31 * Celestar finds a doctor for his Medical Class 2
13:05:34 * planetmaker likes that too. Space: the final frontier.
13:05:54 * Celestar knows about 90% of all Star Trek Eps except ST:Enterprise
13:06:02 *** lobster_MB has joined #openttd
13:06:07 <Celestar> yeah, cuz I'm considering applying to ESA for the astronaut training
13:06:17 * planetmaker knows basically all TNG episodes...
13:06:28 <Celestar> the next screening takes place in May and will be the last one till at LEAST 2017/2018
13:06:32 <planetmaker> Celestar: do so :). Training centre is in cologne
13:06:45 <Celestar> there's some stuff in Oberpfaffenhofen as well
13:07:12 <planetmaker> Yeah, but Oberpfaffenhofen is IIRC mostly ground control
13:08:07 <Celestar> the dilemma is, being a space nut, you basically have to pray for McCain to win the elections :S
13:08:20 <planetmaker> Though Oberpfaffenhofen is DLR while ESA's control is near Darmstatt, I think
13:08:31 <planetmaker> uh, you think so?
13:09:04 <Celestar> because both Obama and Clinton have basically said to axe NASA's budget considerably
13:09:32 <planetmaker> good for earth, but bad for space?
13:09:41 <Celestar> bad for space is bad for earth
13:09:56 <planetmaker> oh, well. I guess there can be some kind of trade-off.
13:10:33 * planetmaker thinks that mankind is made to extend it's reach. And as earth is now completely occupied...
13:10:53 <Celestar> well, leaving the western world without a means of brining a single person to space is NOT an acceptable trade-off imho.
13:11:04 <Celestar> and the shuttles will go offline in less than 36 months.
13:11:27 <Celestar> We in Europe have everything we need for manned spaceflight. We just don't do it :S
13:11:39 <planetmaker> ah, I think 48. Nevertheless. Small
13:12:09 <planetmaker> ESA's budget is small compared to NASA
13:12:39 <Celestar> planetmaker: currently the last shuttle mission is planned for March 18, 2010. That's less than 24 months away. There's an optional one in April 2010.
13:13:00 <planetmaker> And especially hampering is the equi-partition principle: whichever country pais x% has to get x% of the money spent. Really usefull...
13:13:47 <planetmaker> Hm, I heard somewhere an extension to 2012 for the shuttle. But alas, no source at my hands right now
13:13:53 <Celestar> ESA has the Ariane 5, which is man-ratable with very little effort and the ATV which is man-rated. What we need is a Launch Escape System which is old technology and a return capsule which is as old technology
13:14:14 <Celestar> The extension has been cancelled to get Orion up no later than 2014, 2013 if possible.
13:14:40 <Celestar> planetmaker: do you know the book "Entering Space" by Bob Zubrin.
13:14:55 <planetmaker> sorry, don't know it.
13:15:09 <Celestar> do yourself a favor and order it. It's great reading
13:15:33 <planetmaker> :) I add it to my "to buy books"-list.
13:16:13 <Celestar> I'Ve read it about 3 times in the path 3 months :P
13:16:32 <Celestar> so the ESA could have a manned space program for less than 2 billion.
13:16:44 *** Mirrakor has joined #openttd
13:16:49 <planetmaker> I doubt 2 billion would do it.
13:17:05 <Celestar> planetmaker: most of the work is done. it's called ATV
13:17:18 <planetmaker> Even though the concept is clear, it would need to be planned, built, tested and qualified before.
13:17:37 <Celestar> that's the nice thing
13:17:40 <planetmaker> I know the ATV. Last time it was still at estec ...
13:18:05 <planetmaker> And they were... having troubles with their cables... :S
13:18:16 <Celestar> yeah .. they've learnt for Airbus apparently :P
13:18:17 <planetmaker> But it's 6 month ago.
13:18:31 <Celestar> no matter ... we spend 10 billion a year for windmills in Germany alone
13:19:42 <planetmaker> I don't mind that. But subsidies for digging for coal or for leaving farm land unsused...
13:20:07 <Celestar> well, you can find plenty of example in Europe where money is wasted
13:20:19 <Celestar> putting this into a man-rated launch vehicle would be more benefical
13:25:06 * planetmaker reccomends that you apply for the medical :)
13:25:31 * planetmaker also thinks that an engineering, medical of science background with PhD will help
13:26:13 <planetmaker> Fair enough, I say :)
13:26:51 <Celestar> yeah, only my optics is on the Borderline of the Medical Class 2
13:27:33 <planetmaker> uh... what does it say?
13:28:54 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
13:30:18 <Celestar> planetmaker: if possible, I'll apply. They only take 8 out of around 20.000 anyways
13:30:45 <planetmaker> uh... well. That's it. It's anyway in for some fun, if they'll have you around at least for the initial tests.
13:31:22 <planetmaker> Yeah. Possibly also reduced-pressure chamber. That's funny...
13:31:37 <planetmaker> You really start to do funny things...
13:31:44 <planetmaker> Had to do it once
13:31:53 <Celestar> I do funny things without being in a reduced-pressure chamber :P
13:31:54 <planetmaker> to get permission for parabolic flights
13:32:12 <planetmaker> Celestar: but in that chamber you do it w/o realizing :)
13:32:28 <Celestar> a colluege of mine is just doing parabolic flights in BOD
13:32:39 <planetmaker> yeah. One of mine, too :)
13:32:56 <Celestar> I helped him code C :)
13:33:16 <planetmaker> We run labview :D
13:33:53 <Celestar> yeah he does quite a bit of Labview as well
13:34:38 <Celestar> "We are not building the international space station for tourists" :P
13:36:28 <Celestar> hmm this ATV is really big a vehicle... about as large as the Apollo CSM
13:37:08 <Celestar> (less Delta-V so less fuel)
13:37:26 <planetmaker> yep. Something like 4m diameter with 6 height?
13:37:38 <Celestar> yeah. pretty much as large as columbus
13:38:15 <Celestar> 4.5m diameter and 10m long
13:39:31 <Celestar> the SPS on the Apollo looks too large :P
13:39:40 <Celestar> (the nozzle that is)
13:39:50 <planetmaker> oh, right. Was just recalling from when I saw it. In a big integration hall it looks small(er) :P
13:40:10 <Celestar> compared to an A380 :)
13:40:37 * Celestar wants to see the Ares V fly
13:41:27 <Celestar> it's really a bigass launcher
13:42:43 <planetmaker> yeah! And I've gotta go to Speyer to see once the Buran which they recently aquired...
13:43:17 <Celestar> yeah, but it's still en-route isn't it?
13:43:42 * planetmaker is called for a cake :) So cu later, I guess :)
13:43:53 <orudge> bring some back for the rest of us
13:44:08 <planetmaker> Celestar: I think it should have arrived...
13:44:12 <Belugas> better been called for a cake than a kick
13:44:18 <planetmaker> I'll try to beam over some cake, though :)
13:44:24 * orudge calls Belugas for a kick
13:45:17 <Belugas> want a kick fight maaaaan ?

18:05:07 <Patrick`> noooooooooo! ut's the wrong climate!
18:10:14 <SpComb> hmm... it seems openttd forks on startup
18:21:36 <Belugas> i'd rather use spoons
18:24:17 <KingJ> How resource intensive is the Win OpenTTD dedi server in terms of CPU/RAM/Net Usage?
18:26:49 <Belugas> same as regular game, iirc
18:32:59 <Diadem> Quick quiz question: What is the optimal distance to transport coal with an Ginzu A4. Profit wise
18:34:10 <Belugas> Whooouu... a quizz... ho.. i
18:34:38 <[1]Roujin> I'd say preferably a distance where a coal mine is at one end and a power plant at the other end.
18:34:55 <[1]Roujin> everything else would be less profitable...
18:35:22 * Belugas thinks [1]Roujin wanted to write "map" but did not!
18:35:37 <Diadem> assume a completely straight line, and indeed a coal mine at one end an a power plant at another
18:35:41 <Diadem> no bumps along the route
18:35:51 <Belugas> ho... don't let me die of curiosity!!!! THE ANSWER THE ANSWER!!!!
18:36:12 * [1]Roujin is not sure what Belugas is talking about oO
18:36:18 <hylje> Diadem: AS LONG AS YOU CAN AFFORD! MWAHAHAHA!!
18:36:54 * Belugas may have wrongfully understood [1]Roujin's post ;)
18:37:27 <Diadem> Well prices go up linearly with distance but they go down faster than linearly with tranport time
18:37:30 <Diadem> so there should be an optimal distance
18:37:42 <Ammler> [1]Roujin: New patch idea for you, something like a "same year repeater" or time stopper ;-)
18:37:49 <Diadem> After a certain distance time penalties become so harsh that extra distance doesn't help anymore
18:38:49 <[1]Roujin> except that the time penalty stops at some point completely and from then on profit raises again until infinity *cough*
18:39:30 <[1]Roujin> at least that's what someone else found out... somewhere in the development section he tried fixing that somehow...
18:40:11 <Diadem> the maximum penalty according to the wiki is 88%
18:40:31 <Diadem> taht's so harsh that it's not worth it trying to beat it with huge distance
18:41:33 <Diadem> I don't know exactly when it's reached. But clearly not yet with a 1400 tile route with the worst train in the set
18:42:00 <Diadem> to make more profit with a longer route at maximum penalty you'd need a 6000 or so tile route. Impossible :)
18:43:12 <[1]Roujin> throw in huge maps patch, make a map with biggest size, build a line from one edge of the map to the other and wait some years (possible real time, not game time ;)) - kaCHING! :P
18:44:06 <Patrick`> with 64 x 65536 it takes about 4 years
18:44:33 <Diadem> and what was the payment?
18:45:33 <Patrick`> when I'd usually scoop 100k for a 1024 tile
18:45:41 <Diadem> what goods and what train lenght?
18:45:55 <Patrick`> that patch does go all the way up to a million tiles long
18:46:05 <Patrick`> but the map generation takes about an hour
18:46:10 <Patrick`> and uses 1.4 gig of ram
18:46:18 <Diadem> I make 400K on a 1000 tile route with 12 steel wagons. With trains doing 160kph
18:46:24 <Patrick`> on 65536 it took me over a minute just to scroll to the end
18:46:39 <Patrick`> the time was so high
18:46:50 <Diadem> So basicly not worth it beating time penalty
18:46:55 <Patrick`> problem is the game never got rebalanced for huge maps
18:47:07 <Diadem> luckily it's very lentient. You can easily take half a year to transport stuff
18:47:43 <Diadem> So we can safely say "longer is better unless you play with maps over 5000 tiles long" :)
18:48:07 <Patrick`> on a "max" sized map, you're fine
18:48:10 <Diadem> but who really wants such big maps?
18:48:30 <Diadem> I'm playing on a 1024x1024 map, I've been spending AGES on the game now and only hooked up 1/6th of all industries or something
18:48:48 <bowman> for multiplayer you may want more
18:49:13 <Diadem> actually I think multiplayer you can do a lot less because you can't pause the game all the time :)
18:49:38 <bowman> thats what the other people are for hehe
18:51:15 <Diadem> I've tried openttd coop. But their networks are actually tiny
18:51:57 <Patrick`> they're grotesquely enormous, full of bypasses and 6x6 junctions
18:52:42 <Diadem> perhaps I've looked at the wrong game
18:54:38 <Patrick`> current public server one
18:54:42 <Patrick`> at least as of 2 days ago
18:54:55 <Patrick`> unless they restarted
18:55:33 <bowman> I find that even with pausing most industries close before you can get them connected, on maps larger than 512x
18:55:51 <Diadem> ah I found their archive
18:55:59 <bowman> at least it feels like a ton of them close hehe
18:55:59 <Diadem> Their biggest game ever according to their archive has 1004 trains
18:56:17 <Diadem> My current game has almost 600 and it's only 1967
18:58:18 <Patrick`> yeah, but thier map is like half tracks
18:59:39 <Belugas> [14:54] <bowman> I find that even with pausing most industries close before you can get them connected, on maps larger than 512x <-- known. work on fixing this has already started. The closure of industries will not be affected, just the renew of them

22:21:05 <dragonhorseboy> so do I have to do without the chemical/construction vectors or ?
22:21:14 <Patrick`> because all they're doing is funelling everything to one consumption
22:21:25 <Eddi|zuHause2> dragonhorseboy: what does chemical have to do with town vector?
22:21:39 <dragonhorseboy> eddi..its saying it requires the town vector
22:21:50 <dragonhorseboy> and well they're disabling themself because town vector got disabled :/
22:22:13 <Eddi|zuHause2> wasn't there a "basic vector"?
22:22:38 <dragonhorseboy> yes and that one is enabled
22:22:44 <Eddi|zuHause2> and like SmatZ indicated, do you use the right climate?
22:23:07 <dragonhorseboy> its temperate heh :">
22:23:14 <Eddi|zuHause2> or rather, the right grf for the climate?
22:23:29 <Eddi|zuHause2> some of the ECS grfs were divided for each climate
22:23:33 <dragonhorseboy> yeah I noticed there were a few other for tropical/pikka .. don't have these in the newgrf list
22:24:03 <Eddi|zuHause2> and the order of grfs is relevant
22:24:25 <Eddi|zuHause2> and generally, you are probably doing something wrong
22:26:26 <Patrick`> Eddi|zuHause2: I just found out about grfcrawler from what you said
22:26:33 <dragonhorseboy> eddi the only warnings they give in about any order is to have town vector loaded before
22:26:49 <dragonhorseboy> (and yes I did try enable/disable the working vectors to check)

22:33:31 <Patrick`> sleep, will find it later
22:35:13 <Patrick`> I really want a poster of this now :)
22:38:30 <dragonhorseboy> quick question...
22:38:47 <dragonhorseboy> is 'ecs vehicles alpha 1' a vector or just rv refit?
22:39:27 <Eddi|zuHause2> "vehicles" means refit options
22:39:39 <Eddi|zuHause2> it doesn't provide any industries
22:40:11 <Eddi|zuHause2> i think it's for all default vehicles, not only road
22:40:23 <Eddi|zuHause2> and it assumes that you do not use newgrf sets
22:40:46 <dragonhorseboy> well brb to eat then I'll be back to figure out more of this :p
22:41:45 <Eddi|zuHause2> first you are back and then you are back? how does that work?
22:56:07 <dragonhorseboy> north america city, north america road, us station, planeset, newship, industrial station renewal, generic tram, canadian station, canadian trainset, newbridges, [insert all ecs here], LV4
22:56:18 <dragonhorseboy> thats what the newgrf list is like eddi

23:10:36 <SmatZ> way better than JBuilder we used before
23:17:11 <Dominik> i'm currently struggling with eclipse. i tried moving over to it from kdevelop because i don't want to use too much kde. it has its plusses, but also its quirks : /
23:18:30 <ln> i have to say that with 4 cores and 4 GB of RAM the slowness is not an issue, but other things are.
23:19:03 <Wezz6400> I've noticed the other day that eclipse is much, much faster on linux than it is on windows
23:24:23 <dragonhorseboy> hm got a map running for now anyhow ^-^
