00:08:02 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: [NoAI] -Add [API CHANGE]: when building a bridge/tunnel for road/tram, the
00:08:02 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: BuildBridge/BuildTunnel function will now also make two half-road/half-tram
00:08:02 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: pieces on both ends of the bridge/tunnel, so it is easier for you to connect
00:08:02 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: them to your network. This give a more consistant behavior for road.
00:08:03 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: -Note: if the road pieces failed to build, but building the bridge/tunnel succeeded, the function still returns true (for the obvious reasons)

09:50:22 <Tefad> McChicken: on IRC you just ask your question. if anyone is around that can answer, they will.
09:50:33 <Tefad> otherwise you're just flapping in the breeze.
09:50:41 <ln> 1. Don't ask if you can ask, just ask.
09:51:15 <ln> 2. Then *wait* patiently. 20 minutes at least, preferably an hour....
09:51:32 <Tefad> impatient person is impatient
09:51:45 <Tefad> impatient AND inattentive
09:53:12 <ln> btw, McChicken also talked to me privately without being asked to.
09:55:40 *** Sionide- has joined #openttd
09:56:02 <ben_goodger> probably some ten-year-old
09:56:15 <ben_goodger> I was similar to that, without the multiple ?s

09:58:39 <ben_goodger> they continually vote for them, for instance
10:07:25 <Gekz> Vote for the turd sandwich or the giant douche!
10:11:08 <ben_goodger> or indeed don't vote for the giant douche; he'll get elected anyway thanks to a few defective floridian balloting machines
10:16:36 <Eddi|zuHause2> you haven't watched futurama yet, have you? :p
10:17:19 <ben_goodger> bender's big score was an awful attempt to gain fan loyalty by cramming in as many references to the previous series as possible
10:18:13 <ben_goodger> ...although I recognise the possibility that a killer robot from the year 3007 could have come back in time to kill his best friend, and accidentally erased all of gore's votes simultaneously
10:19:08 <Eddi|zuHause2> how else would that have happened?
10:19:09 <ben_goodger> I think it was more likely the voting machines
10:22:52 *** dR3x4cK has joined #openttd
10:26:37 <planetmaker> maybe he'll get on it; orders are bothering me ever since we got all those options.
10:28:34 * Rubidium wonders what functionality requires more clicks than the 'old' GUI except for setting up transfers
10:31:43 <planetmaker> Without meaning to complain: if you play with conditional transfers, time tabled waiting times on stations and then transfer and no load or full load orders, it takes a lot of time to set up a schedule
10:31:50 <planetmaker> and a lot of clicks.
10:32:15 <ccfreak2k> Damn. That fifty dollars could have gotten me
10:32:16 <planetmaker> But I have so far also no good idea how to make the UI better
10:32:41 <Gekz> I don't have a driver's licence
10:32:47 <Gekz> so i can't get addicted to oil :P
10:33:14 <planetmaker> with better = setting up a schedule with less clicking and less sub menues without getting an ugly and cluttered GUI
10:33:34 <Rubidium> planetmaker: for all 'basic' things you don't need sub menus
10:33:56 <Rubidium> full load: single click, unload: single click, default non-stop: single click
10:34:20 <Eddi|zuHause2> <Gekz> so i can't get addicted to oil :P <- how many things made of plastic do you own?
10:34:22 <planetmaker> Rubidium: yes, but even then for a normal order like goto xy with full load and goto ab with unload you need two 4 per order entry
10:34:34 <Vikthor> Gekz: You surely grow your own food using only animal or human force then.
10:34:58 <ben_goodger> ccfreak2k: hundred dollars, you philistine :P
10:34:59 <planetmaker> e.g. those clicks: goto, station, load menu, full order
10:35:11 <Gekz> Vikthor: I use 6 africans
10:35:12 <Vikthor> And certainly you do NOT shop at the supemarket ;)
10:35:46 <ben_goodger> ccfreak2k: and I think we'll be lucky if it stays below 100 by 2012
10:36:17 <Rubidium> planetmaker: there isn't a more efficient way of doing that, except using keyboard shortcut
10:36:24 <ccfreak2k> Yeah it was one of those.
10:36:53 <Eddi|zuHause2> like 10 years ago, i read estimates that the oil reserves run out by 2020
10:36:55 <planetmaker> hm... they must have eluded me so far. Can you point me to a place where they're summarized for the orders menues?
10:37:05 <ben_goodger> Eddi|zuHause2: that's pretty much on track
10:37:21 <ben_goodger> might be 2025 if we're lucky.
10:37:39 <ben_goodger> uranium will be about 2030-2035, and then we're screwed
10:37:42 <planetmaker> besides that, I'm pretty sure there *is* a more efficient way - but I just don't know how, given the boundary conditions
10:38:29 <planetmaker> e.g. the functionality of the quick goto patch is IMO a step in the direction of a quicker orders GUI.
10:39:13 <Rubidium> that's only for the first order
10:39:40 <planetmaker> for the first time you give orders. Not the first order only
10:39:43 *** dR3x4cK2313 has joined #openttd
10:40:29 <planetmaker> e.g. keeping the goto button selected continues to work until you close the orders window
10:42:46 <Eddi|zuHause2> what i found an annoying usability regression (i think since the moving of orders got in (long time ago)) was that when you click on "go to" and then on an order where you want to insert a new order, it looses the "go to" selection
10:44:25 <ccfreak2k> That seems like a five second fix.
10:44:58 <planetmaker> can you show me, ccfreak2k ?
10:45:32 <ccfreak2k> I don't have the code.
10:45:47 <planetmaker> svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk
10:45:47 <ccfreak2k> I've just learned to work around it.
10:46:33 <Eddi|zuHause2> i don't want to "work around" stuff
10:46:37 <planetmaker> things are not necessarily as easy as they may seem...
10:47:06 <Eddi|zuHause2> i used the order list like that for 10 years...
10:53:54 <ccfreak2k> Maybe it's order_gui.cpp
10:54:14 <ccfreak2k> /** @file order_gui.cpp GUI related to orders. */
10:54:27 <ccfreak2k> I see they value descriptive comments.
10:55:19 <planetmaker> I'm pretty sure it's in that file :)
10:56:25 <Maedhros> that comment is pretty much only there so Doxygen parses the file
10:57:03 <ccfreak2k> Maybe it's OrderClick_Goto()
10:58:20 <ccfreak2k> Now if only I knew what was happening inside that function.
11:00:46 <Eddi|zuHause2> i'm sure it is well documented :p
11:01:10 <Gekz> Eddi|zuHause2: why is there a pipe symbol in your name
11:02:00 <Eddi|zuHause2> because just "Eddi" is likely to be taken in almost any network
11:02:01 <ccfreak2k> Eddi|zuHause2, it's not the lack of documentation (the code explains itself, really), it's the lack of my knowledge of C.
11:02:20 <Gekz> Eddi|zuHause2: it's not taken here.
11:02:20 <Eddi|zuHause2> languages are all alike...

13:55:53 <ccfreak2k> I wouldn't mind a train that could go 65,535 KPH.
13:56:06 *** Eddi|zuHause2 has joined #openttd
13:56:14 <Maedhros> Ammler: how did you get a speed of 65,918 km/h? speed is a word value...
13:56:39 <Maedhros> unless this is due to conversion from km/h to mph and back again with slightly different conversion factors
13:56:50 <peter1138> (65535*10/16)*103/64
13:59:32 <Nite> ... just for the record, send to depot (expect with depot orders) almost anytime desyncs me in 061 ...
14:00:07 <ccfreak2k> Coincidentally, 65,535 KPH is about mach 53.
14:01:19 <Pikka> Maedhros: the speed unit for trains in TTD is mph*1.6, not km/h
14:01:20 *** thgergo has joined #openttd
14:01:31 <TiberiusTeng> ahh ... get the texture atlas & palette animation done, then I probably put an 'alpha' build of OpenGL blitter for test ...
14:01:34 <Pikka> it was km/h for a while in OTTD, but I think that got fixed. ;)
14:01:44 <Eddi|zuHause2> 53 = 42+10+1; 2*10+4-1=23
14:02:00 <Eddi|zuHause2> now THAT is a coincidence :p
14:03:00 <Eddi|zuHause2> imho that "fix" is stupid
14:03:08 <TiberiusTeng> I finally discovered that switching textures are the cause of slowdown on OpenGL blitter, what a shame ...
14:03:50 <Maedhros> Pikka: aha, that makes sense :)
14:03:55 <peter1138> combine sprites? heh
14:04:02 <Vikthor> Eddi|zuHause2: It has to be so to maintain compatibility with existing NewGRF
14:04:38 <Eddi|zuHause2> that is a questionable design goal
14:05:28 <ccfreak2k> Ammler, what kind of gate is in that image?
14:08:05 <TiberiusTeng> peter1138, I think a 2048x2048 can accomodate original TTD sprites
14:08:22 <TiberiusTeng> but not so sure for many NewGRF sets ...
14:08:35 <Pikka> Eddi: whereas arbitrarily and pointlessly changing the meaning of widely-used values is good practice?
14:09:14 <TiberiusTeng> and for now it seems spritecache will reload every sprites when loading game, creating a new game or returning to the title screen (i.e. pass them to blitter's Encode() function)
14:09:34 <TiberiusTeng> but not releasing them at all (only depend on memory usage I believe?)
14:09:52 <Eddi|zuHause2> Pikka: no, but reducing the amount of arbitrary and pointless conversions to clean up the code is
14:09:53 <peter1138> well you'll need a clean up routine, heh
14:10:28 <peter1138> the conversions are only for display porpoises anyway
14:10:59 <TiberiusTeng> I haven't dig into NewGRF, GFX, scriptcache parts yet! the blitter part is already complex enough ...
14:11:15 <Pikka> if it's in mph it has to convert to show kph, if it's kph it has to convert to show mph. same amount of conversion either way.
14:11:22 *** Belugas has joined #openttd
14:11:22 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Belugas
14:11:53 <Eddi|zuHause2> but it is in neither mph nor kph
14:11:56 *** Dred_furst has joined #openttd
14:12:11 <TiberiusTeng> I'm using blitter's Encode() to transform sprites into OpenGL textures ... seems not the best choice, but I don't think fitting OpenGL texture management into spritecache is a good solution
14:12:13 *** Belugas has joined #openttd
14:12:13 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Belugas
14:13:18 <Pikka> with mp*1.6, 0x80 = 80mph, etc. :P
14:13:46 <Eddi|zuHause2> that's the most stupid reason you could come up with...
14:13:54 <TiberiusTeng> anyway, I'm wondering why spritecache keep re-encoding the same sprite without releasing the old version
14:14:13 <TiberiusTeng> (after NewGRF settings has changed, loaded a game, returned to title screen, etc.)
14:14:29 <Pikka> well, actually the reason is because that's the way it's coded in TTD, so changing it breaks the default vehicles (and every grf set ever). but whatever.
14:14:47 <peter1138> TiberiusTeng: for the current blitters the memory is freed, and no additional clean up is necessary
14:15:19 <Eddi|zuHause2> imho, shifting a few values by 1 is not such a big deal that it should be considered "breaking"
14:15:48 <TiberiusTeng> yes. I added a hook near spritecache's free() part to call up my OpenGL blitter, but I never come across it actually 'releasing' sprites
14:16:58 <Eddi|zuHause2> besides, sets like DBSetXL would actually benefit from changing speeds from 59, 69, 99 to 60, 70, 100 km/h
14:17:03 <TiberiusTeng> I think spritecache's using (only) LRU and memory size limit to cleanup sprites ...
14:19:04 <TiberiusTeng> ... ahh, I found it. a big free() in GfxInitSpriteMem() ...

15:01:38 <peter1138> TiberiusTeng: as i said, you'll need to add stuff there :)
15:03:04 <ccfreak2k> TiberiusTeng, is OpenGL supposed to improve performance, or is it just an alternate video driver?
15:06:28 <TiberiusTeng> I hope it can improve performance, but for now it's slower than 32bpp-optimized/32bpp-anim.
15:06:55 <TiberiusTeng> it's some kind of proof-of-concept/pre-alpha now ...
15:08:15 <TiberiusTeng> well prettier transparent view, station roof and newspaper's a plus too ;)
15:09:01 <TiberiusTeng> but it's meaningless if it's still (or even more) CPU-bound
15:09:28 <peter1138> what would be nice is to use z-index
15:09:39 <peter1138> to remove the need for sprite sorting
15:09:45 <peter1138> but that would need a lot more changes
15:10:15 <TiberiusTeng> yep ... for now I try to constrain myself at blitter level
15:12:32 *** Boyinblue0 has joined #openttd
15:26:38 <ln> does "X bought the farm" mean "X died"?
15:27:04 <Belugas> that is a very strange question...
15:27:15 <Belugas> i fail to see thr connection
15:27:15 <SmatZ> hey I bought the farm ! :-D
15:27:32 <ln> not at all, it's related to English, which is on topic.
15:29:27 <ccfreak2k> In typical slang, yes.
15:31:02 *** Swallow has joined #openttd
15:32:50 <Swallow> I'm doing some experimenting with editing the openttd scource...
15:33:17 <Swallow> is it possible to write stuff to the console?
15:34:01 <Swallow> if it is, please tell me how :)
15:36:04 <Swallow> i just need something like print() in php
15:36:46 <Maedhros> which OS are you using?
15:36:48 <SpComb> it depends on what kind of stuff you're trying to write
15:36:51 <Touqen> You can do printf, or you use DEBUG to print to the debug console.
15:37:19 <Swallow> k thanks i'll look some stuff op later, going to dinner now
15:40:35 <Belugas> ln, i was referring to the relationship of the two sentences. That is waht i found strange
15:40:49 <Belugas> now, i was not aware it was slang
15:40:57 <ccfreak2k> It's an idiom. An old one.
15:41:08 <ccfreak2k> Dates back to at least WWII, probably earlier.
15:42:57 <Pikka> a conflation of "to buy it" and "to become a landowner" (where the land in question is a cemetary plot), apparently.
15:43:00 <SpComb> if OpenTTD provides some kind of debug-output layer, then you should use that instead of printf directly
15:43:52 <ln> "X bought the farm" was used occasionally in Robert Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers.
15:44:21 <ccfreak2k> Another possible history is the fact that death benefits would be paid, which could be enough to pay off a mortgage for a house...or farm.
15:44:42 <skidd13> SpComb: true... but that's mostly used for "ingame" debug... printf is IMO faster for dev debug, but thats personal ;)
15:59:29 <ccfreak2k> YAPP looks really cool.
16:01:35 <ccfreak2k> Because I'd have to patch openttd to use it.
16:01:48 <Belugas> Someone told me during the weekend that it has desynched, on a coop game
16:02:10 <ccfreak2k> Well I play offline anyway.
16:03:51 <Belugas> that is irrelevant. If there is a problem, it has to be fixed. We can not release something that works only for offline players. I hope you do understand that :)
16:04:27 <ccfreak2k> I never asked/demanded it to be released.
16:04:40 <Belugas> note that said desynch report might not be related to YAPP at all, for what it's worth...
16:04:41 *** dR3x4cK has joined #openttd
16:19:03 <michi_cc> Belugas: a desync directly related to YAPP is rather unlikely because there isn't any randomness in YAPP. It's of course entirely possible that I'm using some pre-existing functionallity in a not-quite-as-designed way leading to desyncs.
16:19:32 <peter1138> i reckon committing it will find it quicker ;)
16:19:47 <michi_cc> of course, it would help if such errors are actually reported to me. and without any savegame there's exactly zero I can do

16:38:41 <Dr_Link> So, Chris Sawyer's Locomotion or the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Which one do you find more fun?
16:39:36 <Belugas> OpenTTD all the way :)
16:39:59 <Prof_Frink> Well, seeing as I played TTO (Not even D) for more than ten minutes, TTD.
16:42:05 <Dr_Link> Locomotion wasn't that bad
16:42:14 <Dr_Link> in fact, it got me into The TT series.
16:43:29 <Dr_Link> Why does everyone seem to think that Locomotion was bad?
16:43:42 <Dr_Link> That's like saying... "Dig Dug" was bad when it first came out.
16:44:29 <Dr_Link> why do I think so what?
16:44:59 <Belugas> why do you think everything seem to think Locomotion was bad?
16:45:06 <SmatZ> why do you think people dislike Locomotion?
16:48:52 <Dr_Link> because everywhere I look up Locomotion related information, it usually says somewhere that the author preferred TT(D) more.
16:49:29 <Dr_Link> I liked Locomotion a lot, though, and most people didn't like it because of the interface. I guess it came naturally for me because I played Chris Sawyer's RollerCoaster Tycoon first.
16:49:55 <Belugas> most of the time, people complain about the interface
16:50:03 <Dr_Link> screw that, it was EASY For me.
16:50:10 <Dr_Link> And TTD wasn't that hard to figure out either.
16:50:46 <Belugas> screw what? people judgment and experience of playing?
16:50:51 <Belugas> sorry, but srew you then
16:51:14 <Belugas> don't judge people based on your own perception
16:51:20 <Dr_Link> no, screw the opinion of people who said it was the most horrible game ever because of one or two design flaws.
16:51:43 <Dr_Link> I found one that was 1/5 stars on the game because they didn't like the lack of sub-toolbars.
16:51:47 <Dr_Link> I'd say the new system is a bit better because you have an idea of where it goes in a linear form (because trains do move in a linear fashion) instead of just laying down random track... it also prevents those terrible mis-alignment mistakes.
16:51:54 <Dr_Link> that's why it came natrually for me.
16:52:02 <Dr_Link> I had a bit of a learning curve learning TTD.
16:52:36 <Belugas> you are entirely entitled to like it. it is your opinion and your right. do not deny those who are not in accordance with your views, please
16:53:00 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
16:53:11 <Dr_Link> I suppose I did deny it. But, on the same token, if they were in my position they would have done the same to me.
16:56:00 <Belugas> granted, but they are not in your position. for the record, i tried loco before touching ttd. it did not felt as natural as ttd was. and my gaming experience was one of Myst (and others of the series). And other games back in the 1980s, if ou see waht i mean
16:56:54 <Belugas> so i sticked to ttd because i wanted to play long hours with an interface that was nice and clean for me. that's how i felt and still do
16:57:04 <Belugas> so, really, a personnal situation
16:58:04 <Dr_Link> I suppose, from my standpoint, there are a lot of diverse personal situations out there
16:58:14 <Dr_Link> I started with Sawyer's RCT series.
16:58:50 <Dr_Link> But I jumped to the TT series when RCT3 came out because... well, I say the interface sucks on this game just as much as what other people think about Locomotion's!!
17:01:45 <Belugas> so this is why debates over personnal preferences is basically not sane at all
17:02:09 <Belugas> yu can argue about something that is based on logic
17:02:48 <Belugas> but as soon as the emotional part kicks in, it's useless

19:32:51 <Ammler> how to change that, so we would also see the train number? assert(IsFrontEngine(v));
19:33:09 <Ammler> we have asserts with yapp all the time
19:33:27 <Ammler> I think, It would help, if we know, which vehicle that was.
19:33:36 <peter1138> if (!IsFrontEngine(v)) error("somethingsomething %d", v->unitnumber); or something like that
19:33:53 <Ammler> would you print something else?
19:34:20 <Ammler> can I include that only serverside?
19:34:22 <Belugas> what about "whateveryouwant" ?
19:35:03 <Rubidium> peter1138: odd results, I got the opposite result (using gprof)

19:36:42 <peter1138> some things are different
19:36:47 <peter1138> but overall it's less

19:39:17 <Rubidium> my conclusion was: about 20% extra time used by TrainController
19:39:26 <Rubidium> peter1138: one of the pile's yes
19:39:44 <peter1138> 5.83% for traincontroller itself in trunk
19:39:51 <peter1138> 5.89% for traincontroller in yapp
19:40:14 <peter1138> but i haven't looked at what's change inside the function
19:40:19 <peter1138> it could be half as long for all i know :)

19:41:15 *** Osai`off is now known as Osai
19:41:52 <Ammler> would it also help, if we create a save right before the assert?
19:42:51 <peter1138> everything common is all in ~/.openttd
19:43:25 <Rubidium> or michi_cc silently reduces the impact
19:44:07 <glx> Ammler: a save right before an assert is always good
19:44:08 <peter1138> using ./configure --enable-profiling=1
19:44:58 <Ammler> glx: can I include a function to create that?
19:45:15 <Ammler> or is that too late then?
19:45:40 <peter1138> if you know it's going to crash then it is already too late
19:45:56 <Rubidium> move autosave to daily and don't thread it
19:46:06 <glx> the best way is to use an msvc release
19:46:16 <glx> on assert it creates a dump
19:46:34 <Ammler> michi_cc: asked for save, but we are not albe to reproduce it, it just happens areound every 3-4 h
19:47:15 <Ammler> glx: server is the only one, which asserts, afaik
19:47:50 <Ammler> and that is a linux one.
19:49:02 <Ammler> Rubidium: how do I "not thread it"?
19:49:32 <glx> the assert should happen on clients too
19:50:19 <Ammler> but we just lose connection and go back to start screen
19:50:39 <Ammler> oh, it might be some clients crahses too
19:50:59 <Rubidium> that sounds like a desync too
19:51:24 <Rubidium> if the server dies in an assert in the 'game code', then the clients must die too
19:51:29 <Rubidium> otherwise they are in desync
19:52:52 <Ammler> Rubidium: well, I am not sure anymore
