00:10:24 <Eddi|zuHause3> <dih> can the game know if grf's use a certain setting? <- not if action 6 are involved :p
00:33:12 <mikk36> Rubidium, last time half were left with ip's
00:33:37 <mikk36> and find servers button doesn't do anything after the first time
00:33:47 <mikk36> it doesn't make the list reload

09:12:17 <Rubidium> mikk36: then your router/firewall/ISP thinks that you are sending to much of said packet and it closes the connection. There is effectively nothing we can do about it; we already try to circumvent those measures by not sending all packets at once, but more spread out... however, it seems like it doesn't work in your case. Another issue might be routing issues (of the packets) by your ISP.
09:22:49 *** Progman has joined #openttd
09:26:38 <Roujin> Hey guys.. some user (actually not some, but the author of a new, promising newgrf) asked in the suggestions forum about the possibility of a third road type, namely dirt roads / trails. It would be usable by "offroad vehicles" like the ones in his set, plus maybe horse carriages, but not normal roadvehs. As for horse carriages, since we now have the engine pool and aren't limited in numbers anymore, grf authors are going in that direction
09:27:46 <Roujin> I've also done some initial coding and am determined to do it properly this time (not include sprites with a hack like in trafficlights), and would like some opinions about this, possibly also from devs? ;)
09:29:03 <planetmaker> ha, ottd back in the 19th century. A new world opens up :)
09:32:09 <Roujin> The idea is that road vehicles get an additional flag, and if it is set, they are able to go "offroad" - that means on the new third roadtype (additional to normal roads). roadvehs that don't have this flag would not be able to go on the new roadtype.
09:33:55 <Prof_Frink> If you're going that far, you may as well make newroads grf-definable
09:35:30 <Rubidium> I've been playing with that idea for a while in my head, but never had the time to write something.
09:37:23 <Rubidium> it'd allow for 5 different 'roadtypes' and 4 different 'tramtypes', all defined like cargoes
09:38:03 <Rubidium> and vehicles should therefor also use a system like industries use for cargos, i.e. with labels, to tell one what types of road/trams it can drive
09:38:36 <Rubidium> then for each road/tram type one can define whether vehicles that do not use the labels can drive over it or not (NewGRF backward compatability)
09:38:55 <Rubidium> you can't have 2 different roadtypes on one tile
09:38:57 <planetmaker> hm... but wouldn't you need to have at least the default road be non-redefine-able?
09:39:18 <planetmaker> for reasons of compatibility?
09:39:30 <Rubidium> that's just a 'default' thing that eats from the 5 roadtypes
09:40:18 <Rubidium> so a trail crossing tarmac would have a single tarmac tile
09:41:02 <Roujin> a trail crossing tarmac? didn't you just say there can't be two road types on one tile then?
09:41:31 *** einKarl has joined #openttd
09:41:40 <Rubidium> what did I say that doesn't support that?
09:42:29 <Rubidium> I can rephrase it: "if the trail were to cross a tarmac road, the crossing would contain tarmac (assuming it is build first)
09:43:34 <Rubidium> I furthermore think that we need a rework of the sprites to actually do everything nicely
09:43:34 <Roujin> if the trail were built first and then a tarmac road crossing it, would the crossing be of trail type? (that would be ugly, no?)
09:43:55 <Rubidium> that's something that should be researched
09:44:12 <Rubidium> would trail driving things be able to cross tarmac?
09:44:32 <Roujin> rather than the other way around
09:45:12 <Roujin> vehicles that can go over a muddy mess can also drive on fine roads, but not the other way around
09:45:27 <Rubidium> well, they could completely destroy that road
09:49:36 <Roujin> there might be some vehicles only suited for trails, not for proper roads, but I think the majority of vehicles would be like "can drive on type x or better"
09:50:09 <Rubidium> the system needs some hooks to define the road surface on brides and tunnels though
09:50:38 <Rubidium> but I've got no idea whether all bridges are equally wide and such
09:51:25 <mikk36> Rubidium, but i can get info about hundreds of servers in lfs
09:51:58 <mikk36> but why doesn't it try to reget the list when i click find servers ?
09:52:01 <Rubidium> 1) I don't know lfs, 2) the system works likely completely different
09:52:13 <planetmaker> hm... I thought bridges were overlaid with the track type?
09:52:22 <Rubidium> mikk36: probably because your firewall stops it
09:52:43 <mikk36> but i can refresh the servers manually
09:52:53 <mikk36> by clicking refresh server for each
09:53:10 <Rubidium> then the firewall stopped blocking it because the 'flood' stopped
09:53:12 <mikk36> i'll check some older version
09:53:24 <mikk36> still i can't click find servers after that :)
09:53:36 <Rubidium> it is really something with *your* network situation because it works for all the others
09:58:34 <Rubidium> hmm... transporting 75% of the amount of cargo of Pile final on a 128x128 map...
09:59:56 *** Alberth has joined #openttd
10:00:15 <Roujin> so, you wouldn't be in favor of adding something like trails before a complete rewrite of the system?..
10:00:29 <mikk36> ok, another problem :)
10:01:04 <Rubidium> Roujin: as with so many things though
10:01:31 <mikk36> while downloading the map, there's a glitch that when i clicked the download status window, the company names list turned white
10:02:00 <Roujin> aww, that's a shame ;) now I have to bring the promising new guy bad news :P
10:02:47 <Rubidium> the major issue is that you are going to add something and three weeks later someone wants to add another roadtype and you're screwed because you have to rewrite even more
10:04:07 <planetmaker> Roujin: rephrase it euphemistically: it's a gorgeous idea. The bad news: it needs some rewrite of the code. the good news: then it will be very easy :)
10:04:19 <Roujin> Well that's true. But how many types are needed at all?
10:04:43 <planetmaker> cannot say, I missed any so far.
10:04:44 <Roujin> 5 road types and 4 tram types? isn't that a bit of overkill?
10:04:46 <Rubidium> *if* you get trails, people want highways too
10:04:51 <Rubidium> so at least 3 road types
10:05:04 <Rubidium> for trams you get the non-electrified old version
10:05:17 <Rubidium> oh, and someone was talking about cobblestone roads
10:05:31 <Rubidium> so 4 road types already and 2 at least tramtypes
10:06:18 <Roujin> well, for normal roads/trails I can understand it. There are vehicles that can go "offroad", something that other vehicles can't
10:07:18 <Roujin> but highways? In real life, highways are just roads with higher speed limits. But since we don't have speed limits for roads in the game, that makes no sense to me...
10:07:49 <Roujin> what would be the use of them other than looking different from normal roads? :/
10:08:01 <Rubidium> different speed limits
10:08:13 <Rubidium> maybe disallowing slow vehicles on highways
10:12:09 <Roujin> well, i'm convinced.. sort of :P
10:12:41 <Roujin> that does indeed sound like it might add to gameplay
10:16:08 <Roujin> well.. maybe i could just do with a bigger task - i could have a go at that rewrite if you want..

10:40:52 <Eddi|zuHause2> <Rubidium> I can rephrase it: "if the trail were to cross a tarmac road, the crossing would contain tarmac (assuming it is build first) <-- that would effectively be the same thing as with conventional/electric rail crossing
10:42:53 *** thgergo has joined #openttd
10:47:11 <Roujin> Eddi: but that only works if we assume that there is a natural order of road types, like there is for elrail/normal rail
10:47:22 <Roujin> all normal-rail-trains can go over elrail
10:49:24 <Eddi|zuHause2> well, railtypes have a half-order for compatibility, and that is used
10:52:59 <Roujin> yes, point is that the possible road types won't necessarily have that kind of order
10:53:40 <Roujin> that's what raises the question about how to handle crossings...
10:55:17 <planetmaker> IMO it's ok to assume for roads an order like that.
10:56:02 <planetmaker> Or, alternatively, a method like for rails is needed, where elrail and normal rail may be on the same tile, but not with mono rail or maglev
10:56:23 <planetmaker> that'd make sense for situations like trail crosses highway
11:11:50 *** dragonhorseboy has joined #openttd
11:12:45 <dragonhorseboy> just curious about it but anyone ever thought of a central place for links to different current patch diffs there are to use?
11:13:20 <Rubidium> yes, even a patch reviewing system... never got beyond thinking
11:14:09 <Prof_Frink> Rubidium: You mean an automated patch rejection system?
11:14:14 <dragonhorseboy> yeah having to track down many individual threads to find if there's something .. go figure rubidium

11:15:33 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
11:18:26 <dragonhorseboy> either way only just asking but did someone ever make a diff/patch to sort stations by more than just name/type?
11:20:46 <Alberth> You mean by Cargo Rating or by Waiting Cargo Value ?
11:21:58 <Alberth> it exists in trunk (at least in my version)
11:24:41 <dragonhorseboy> got a page/thread for the trunk?
11:30:45 <Mchl> why would anyone need it?
11:31:48 <Alberth> A nightly would do probably.
11:32:14 <Alberth> afaik it has been around quite some time, so any recent version would probably do
11:32:46 <Mchl> dragonhordeboy: 'trunk' is the latest development version of OTTD
11:33:08 <Mchl> sorry for misspelling :P
11:35:30 <dragonhorseboy> hm even the openttd wiki doesn't have any list neither :/
11:36:00 <Mchl> what list are you looking for?
11:36:13 <dih> [13:21] <Alberth> You mean by Cargo Rating or by Waiting Cargo Value ?
11:36:14 <dih> [13:21] <dragonhorseboy> yeah that
11:42:50 <dragonhorseboy> hm which release version did it first appear in?
11:44:30 <Alberth> No idea, I never use official releases, maybe somebody else knows this?
11:45:05 <dih> this chat trunkation is annoying! ;-)
11:45:23 <dih> i.e. the limited chars from the normal chat window
11:45:39 <dih> and the trunkation of the chat message when entered over the console
11:47:39 <Eddi|zuHause2> make it split in multiple lines instead
11:48:23 <dragonhorseboy> alberth thanks anyhow
11:49:00 <dragonhorseboy> me just looking at maybe trying build a custom openttd folder (taking some of the good things I used to like from mini-in list as well) .. who knows what it might turn out into ^-^
11:49:17 <SmatZ> thgergo: isn't the note about wooden bridge in NewGRF specs?
11:49:33 <SmatZ> that it has to have "unlimited" length
11:53:50 <dragonhorseboy> smatz...well when you think about it if the bridge is low height .. wood one have quite almost unlimited length in reality .. limited by amount of timbers you can get ;)
11:58:25 <dragonhorseboy> smatz if there's one thing .. its that I really like the co-operation patch (the one re sharing track&station) which too often can be a bonus when building in mountainous or shoreline-squeezed terrains ^_^
12:07:12 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: but that still needs A LOT of work to make it clean...
12:08:06 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker not to sound dumb --- what kind of work? (I've never read much of about it at all..just knowing that it was listed in the patches gui in mini-in)
12:08:07 <TiberiusTeng> ha, infrastructure sharing makes me eager to play some huge online sessions
12:08:27 <TiberiusTeng> but I don't even have time to play some single player sessions :p
12:08:53 <TiberiusTeng> for (;;) { press run; load some games; look for glitches; stop and patch; }
12:09:35 <dragonhorseboy> tiberiusteng...well one nice example of line sharing that I remember doing was when someone had one double track coal line (from north to south) and the coal mine wasn't really producing much so I took another coal mine a bit further northwest with a short piece of my own tracks then shared player2's the rest of the way down
12:09:52 <dragonhorseboy> the lines was fine with both traffics on it anyway ;)
12:11:17 <TiberiusTeng> considering you can set various sharing 'fee' rates ... I bet it can bring tremendous diversity into online games, but still have to try :p
12:11:43 <TiberiusTeng> maybe WWOTTDGD will be my first day playing the patch
12:12:37 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: truebrain * r13604 /branches/noai/src/ai/api/ai_tile.cpp: [NoAI] -Fix: rail/road crossings are not buildable either (and worse: caused asserts)
12:13:40 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: truebrain * r13605 /3rdparty/squirrel/squirrel/sqvm.cpp: [Squirrel] -Fix: on VM deletion, destroy the stack top-down, so instances are removed in an order one might expected
12:18:44 <dragonhorseboy> well I usually set the fee/% to a low one to just about pay for the track maintenance expenses most of the times
12:18:52 <dragonhorseboy> makes little sense otherwise ;)
12:26:05 *** xerxes is now known as shodan
12:27:35 <k-man> how do you transfer oil from an oil rig to a train station?
12:28:57 <dragonhorseboy> k-man is the train station next to the rig or ?
12:29:04 <glx> by raising land and build tracks
12:29:11 <Progman> but sometimes I build a station in the ocean ;)
12:30:25 <k-man> and a tanker takes oil to the dock, then i put a station next to the dock
12:30:36 <k-man> but the oil doesn'tseem to flow from the dock to the station
12:30:40 <dragonhorseboy> k-man oh so ships? just change the ship to "unload"+"transfer" at the dock and its done
12:30:54 <dragonhorseboy> make sure the dock and rail are one station anyhow :p
12:30:54 <glx> the station must touch the dock (ie have the same name)
12:31:03 <dragonhorseboy> glx..I already said that heh
12:31:08 <k-man> dragonhorseboy, ah.. they aren't one station
12:31:44 <glx> [14:31:00] <+glx> the station must touch the dock (ie have the same name)
12:31:44 <glx> [14:31:00] <dragonhorseboy> make sure the dock and rail are one station anyhow :p
12:32:38 <k-man> <dragonhorseboy> make sure the dock and rail are one station anyhow :p
12:32:38 <k-man> <glx> the station must touch the dock (ie have the same name)
12:32:47 <k-man> glx, it came the other way around this end
12:34:53 <dragonhorseboy> either way k-man if you want a suggestion .. go find newships.grf .. it'll add more interesting ships to look at ;)
12:36:42 *** NukeBuster has joined #openttd
12:44:19 <planetmaker> [14:08] <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker not to sound dumb --- what kind of work? <--- infrastructure sharing can be broken down in smaller parts, I think
12:44:50 <dragonhorseboy> ah hmm I see now
12:44:51 <planetmaker> that makes it much easier to integrate. Also some balancing issues remain: like how to avoid other players messing up your network etc
12:45:07 <dragonhorseboy> and planetmaker not sure if this could be counted as a bug or not but one more thing...
12:45:08 <planetmaker> the latter is actually at least as hard.
12:45:58 <dragonhorseboy> if I build my rails diagonal and join into someone's straight rails .. then I later decide to remove my diagonal line for good ... there's still a stubborn little switch remaining because it thinks that one rail stub is actually owned by player2 when I was actually the one that built it
12:46:16 <dragonhorseboy> but then I guess that the problem probably is from that its really one single tile so go figure
12:46:53 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: you cannot build a piece of rain on a tile where someone else built already
12:47:07 <planetmaker> so, for a y-split, you need the other to co-operate
12:47:19 <planetmaker> and have him build it on this tile
12:47:32 <dragonhorseboy> hm and one more related thing..'
12:48:30 <planetmaker> well... then - where's the bug? Or the problem? I don't get you :S
12:49:29 <planetmaker> the player whom you linked to has a y-tile remaining... but that doesn't hurt and cannot be helped.
12:49:31 <dragonhorseboy> I don't understand why the fee and % can be allowed to be set so high .. that just makes it way too unrelastic to ever use it (eg why pay 300 pounds per cargo at station when you're barely only doing say just 45 bags of diamond
12:49:47 <dragonhorseboy> or its just me?
12:49:49 <k-man> dragonhorseboy, actually, i was thinking i might just build out to the rigs to get trains straight to them
12:50:23 *** stillunknown has joined #openttd
12:50:35 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: you want to allow for real rip-offs, don't you ;)
12:50:48 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker I'll prefer not to
12:51:09 <planetmaker> you're not forced to use that station
12:51:20 <dragonhorseboy> I have the station cargo fee set to just 7 pounds per cargo .. on top of other numbers being low -- more or less just well enough to cover the cost of construction&upkeep ;)
12:51:26 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker..in tight places you can
12:51:55 <planetmaker> you're not required to service every town and every industry either :)
12:52:21 <planetmaker> one thing I'd like to see is a per-station fee. :)
12:52:28 <planetmaker> individual stations :)
12:52:39 <planetmaker> but that's an entirely different patch then.
12:52:58 <planetmaker> and is partially helped already by the waypoints forbidding access to a track
12:54:31 <dragonhorseboy> well planetmaker let me put it one way: player2 got a rail station near middle of a town that then grew quite big and now I want to serve a bank but the only possible connection at all is either by road (which would be weak long distance) or sharing that old player2's rail station
12:54:55 <dragonhorseboy> I never could understand why banks can't be built more or less on the skirt of the town rather than in middle so it would be easier to reach when the population still grows but oh well
12:55:07 <Roujin> jesus, grfs are a confusing thing
12:56:17 <Alberth> Roujin: Too much backwards compatible ;-)
12:56:18 <Roujin> I understand that 0x0B is for tramway. is 0x0C unused? (it seems so but I don't know where to confirm)
12:56:33 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: I see what you mean. But I disagree that that's a problem or issue at all. :) If the other player doesn't want you to use that station - bad luck
12:57:25 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker...well will someone shoot the person who thought openttd population should have a 300%/year growth rate than a slow ttdx default one? :p
12:57:53 <dragonhorseboy> even a well served city into the 2000's in ttdx never had any issues with bank reaching - just move a few houses out of way and thats it
12:58:06 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: you can adjust the growth rate to your liking...
12:58:24 <planetmaker> you can even disable growth at all
12:58:34 <Roujin> seems i have to dig into the newgrf stuff deeper than i wished to *sigh*
12:58:35 <planetmaker> you set it to maniac and rabit-like ;)
12:58:48 <planetmaker> Roujin: you can make it :)
12:59:58 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker the only thing I can see working is '_ in 4' growth option and city multiplier which doesn't really do much for growth curbing?
13:00:25 <planetmaker> Can someone point me to a ressource on how to maintain savegame compatibility with patches. E.g. how to ensure that saves from clean trunk can still be loaded? Or at least a bit older, clean trunk?
13:01:09 <planetmaker> aim: make scenario with trunk. Be able to load in a patched version
13:01:27 <SmatZ> planetmaker: not easy, you have to update all patches that need savegame conversion
13:02:09 <planetmaker> SmatZ: yeah... nevertheless. wwottdgd doesn't load the map. And I want to make it decently.
13:03:02 <SmatZ> planetmaker: update wwottdgd to current revision :)
13:03:17 <planetmaker> Or, if that turns out way too difficult: a guide how to hack savegames ;)
13:03:32 <planetmaker> (No, I don't want another person just do it, I want to understand :) )
13:03:35 <SmatZ> simply, all patches that use "version from / version to" fields in the SaveGame struct should change that number, for example 97 -> 98
13:03:38 <Rubidium> there's some howto thingy on the wiki
13:03:41 <dragonhorseboy> just wondering but whats 'wwottdgd'?
13:04:19 <Alberth> world-wide openTTD game day
13:04:53 <Rubidium> i.e. a load of patches with another load of patches so the hacks in the first patches don't completely break
13:05:08 <planetmaker> yeah, Rubidium speaketh the truth :)
13:05:47 <planetmaker> SmatZ: hm... I gathered that from your comments last time.
13:06:01 <planetmaker> And I have the impression that I did that...
13:06:34 <planetmaker> are there other places where to look, too?
13:07:18 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: basically it's a patchpack which shall allow to play with ~50 clients and shared tracks
13:11:12 <dragonhorseboy> 50 clients? is there ever more than 15 people in one game at times?
13:11:30 <TiberiusTeng> wwottdgd will have a patchset diff file, right?
13:12:00 <planetmaker> TiberiusTeng: yes. It does. In the dev forum's wwottdgd thread I posted the diffs.
13:12:12 <TiberiusTeng> great. (planning something evil)
13:12:29 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: on 12th July, definitely. On our public server on #openttdcoop we frequently have all 11 slots taken
13:12:49 <TiberiusTeng> nah. just an hardware-assisted (?) blitter version. :p
13:13:35 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker hmm never knew there could be that many people on only one map heh :p
13:13:40 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker what map size is it usually?
13:14:01 *** GoneWacko has joined #openttd
13:14:38 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy: depends. 256x1024 up to 1024x1024
13:14:57 <glx> dragonhorseboy: and all are in 1 company
13:15:55 <dragonhorseboy> ah not "huge" then .. heh
13:16:13 <dragonhorseboy> 1024x1024 with 50 people .. sounds crazy but fun :p
13:16:37 <planetmaker> yeah, will be fun, I guess :)
13:17:53 <dragonhorseboy> is there grfs in use on this game day map?
13:21:40 <Rubidium> but... a 128x128 map is too small for a single person
13:22:07 *** lobstar has joined #openttd
13:22:23 *** lobstar_MB has joined #openttd
13:23:20 <Rubidium> though I see no reason for a map bigger than 256x256 if you want to transport massive amounts of cargo
13:25:42 <planetmaker> Rubidium: but then it's not eye candy anymore :)
13:26:28 <Roujin> I just found such a stupid c&p error I made... meh ><
13:27:16 <Roujin> no wonder the trails look like trams if trails.nfo takes all its sprites from tramtracks.pcx instead of trails.pcx :P
13:28:12 <dragonhorseboy> actually I used to play 128x128 once with normal industries&towns to see how far I could literally develop it (no custom grfs too)
13:28:43 <dragonhorseboy> hmm I should try challenge it again with zero of anything except maybe 200-300 longvehicles alone and see how far I could get :)
13:31:10 <dragonhorseboy> well I'm going for a while now
13:31:16 *** dragonhorseboy has left #openttd

13:37:14 <Rubidium> for a 128x128 map I've reached 83% of the amount of cargo transported in Pile ``final''
13:38:02 <Gekz> lol I played a 128x128 map with 4 people
13:38:11 <Gekz> I had 6 airports, 40 planes
13:41:22 <Rexxars> I haven't been paying attention to the OTTD community lately, is there a plan for 0.7?
13:41:39 <Gekz> was there a plan for 0.6?
13:42:01 <Rexxars> there was a general roadmap, yes
13:42:45 <Roujin> how do I apply the openttd palette to an image using gimp?
13:53:12 <glx> we never written any roadmaps
13:57:46 <Mchl> so... what are those 'Roadmap 0.x' articles on wiki?
13:58:57 <planetmaker> something which is fed to too curious 'users' :P - I guess :)
13:59:29 <Mchl> damn.... and I actually believed it...

14:06:40 <Rubidium> Mchl: under developers those roadmaps are better known as "user wishes"
14:09:09 <LA> roujin, open a indexed picture.. like trg*r.pcx and then just delete everything there.. and save it
14:09:45 <LA> u can resize it and do anything , just don't change it to rgb again :P

19:36:10 <SpComb> is it possible to refit wagons automatically?
19:36:25 <SpComb> say I've got a large number of trains, and they all have two wagons that are incorrectly refitted
19:36:39 <SpComb> said trains are all in a single group - so can I somehow make all of them refit themselves?
19:39:35 <SpComb> you mean add an order for them to refit in each of the trains' orders?
19:46:28 <Eddi|zuHause2> no, in the shared order :)

23:07:54 <SpComb> the game gets mighty boring once the year gets to 2037 :(
23:08:07 <SpComb> unless I build new ICE3 lines, or even a transrapid, something I haven't done yet
23:08:59 <SpComb> but they don't even sell BR112s anymore, and all my (as recently built as 2004) local trains are too old already
23:09:03 <Eddi|zuHause2> the DBSet has no futuristic vehicles
23:09:13 <fjb> Yes, I'm usually setting the end year at 2030.
23:09:17 <SpComb> indeed, the year should just stop in 2008 or so and then keep looping
23:09:29 <SpComb> hmm, can you change the end year to be earlier in OpenTTD?
23:09:43 <fjb> Canset and Long Vehicles have the same problem, if you see it as a problem.
23:10:06 <Eddi|zuHause2> i believe you can, but without recompiling?
23:10:43 <SpComb> I guess the problem is that it's 2038 and I'm still building out my passenger network
23:10:58 <Eddi|zuHause2> use daylength ;)
23:11:10 <SpComb> the DB probably hasn't built any new stations for the past xyears
23:11:24 <fjb> Yes, you can when you generate a new game. It is an option in iopenttd.cfg: "ending_year"
23:11:49 <Eddi|zuHause2> they built a new main station in the middle of berlin
23:12:04 <Eddi|zuHause2> they opened it like two years ago
23:12:24 <SpComb> what about new lines, or stations in cities that didn't have stations before?
23:12:25 <Eddi|zuHause2> i have a lousy memory
23:12:42 <SpComb> but myes, perhaps daylength would be a solution
23:12:59 <SpComb> and playing co-op with someone who has the exact same passenger-network building style as I have (hah)
23:13:02 <Eddi|zuHause2> SpComb: the problem was that berlin was cut in half for quite a long time, so the network there was ... underdeveloped ;)
23:13:36 <Eddi|zuHause2> mainly they built new high speed lines, occasionally with stations
23:13:38 <SpComb> I'm playing co-op with a friend, it's a bit silly because I don't really agree with the way he builds tracks, doesn't fit my sense of style... so I end up rebuilding half of them, so he doesn't really get a chacne to do very much
23:14:00 <Eddi|zuHause2> like, they built a new line between Halle and Leipzig via the Airport
23:15:11 <Eddi|zuHause2> the old line passes the town of Schkeuditz several kilometers away from the airport
23:16:31 <Eddi|zuHause2> the old line was opened like in the 1840's, there was no airport to consider back then ;)
23:16:56 <SpComb> but myes, I've come to the conclusion that now with YAPP, there's not really any need for me to have TTDPatch anymore
23:17:24 <SpComb> only thing missing is enhanced tunnels and custom bridge heads
23:19:21 <Eddi|zuHause2> those will not be implemented in the TTDP way
23:20:22 <SpComb> what's the reasoning behind that? Is there some concept for a better way to do something equivalent (as with YAPP)?
23:21:17 <jfc> enhanced tunnel are simply not desired in ottd. It has been describied as been ugly
23:21:20 <Eddi|zuHause2> the Great Big Concept (tm) is to have fully flexible bridges and tunnels, which would then have these two features as minor sideeffects
23:21:23 <jfc> and it's a bit of a hack either way
23:22:03 <Rubidium> does TTDP custom bridge heads support stations on the bridgeheads?
23:22:20 <jfc> possible, but would require lots of work (diagonal)
23:22:21 <SpComb> I don't even think it supports signals
23:22:44 <Rubidium> SpComb: exactly the reason why we don't implement it their way
23:22:51 <Rubidium> custom should mean *custom*
23:23:05 <SpComb> well, that's probably just an implementation detail
23:23:13 <Rubidium> not you have some very limited added functionality
23:23:19 <SpComb> hmm, OpenTTD doesn't support signals on bridges yet
23:23:27 <Eddi|zuHause2> "detail" as in "starting the job completely different"
23:24:02 <jfc> in trunk, no signal on bridges yet. but i know somewhere, the work has been started already
23:24:13 <curson> hi all, is there's a way in 0.6.1 to modify the speed at which time flows?
23:24:18 <curson> days really go too fast :p
23:24:32 <SpComb> indeed, I just came to that conclusion earlier as well
23:24:34 <Eddi|zuHause2> curson: no, but there is a daylength patch
23:24:35 <fjb> No, and yes, they go too fast. :-)
23:25:16 <curson> mhm, do you have a link for it?
23:25:49 <Eddi|zuHause2> no, but there are patch packs in the forum which include it
23:25:49 <SpComb> oh, and the chat messages and train name length restrictions are ridiculous
23:25:57 <SpComb> you can hardly type in a full sentence into the chat box
23:26:13 <SpComb> and with train names you often have to remove spaces/punctuation to fit in all the info you want
23:26:32 <curson> ok, I'll look into the forum, Eddi|zuHause2
23:30:25 <jfc> SpComb, i fail to see how in 64 chars, you cannot tell waht you need to tell to your fellow players
23:30:33 <jfc> you can still use a new line
23:30:47 <jfc> otherwise, how long do you think a chat message line would need to be?
23:31:10 <Rubidium> sending multiple GBs of data to the server in a single packet
23:31:28 <Rubidium> so the server can then distribute it and look frozen for three days
23:31:56 *** Dred_furst has joined #openttd
23:32:03 <SpComb> IRC uses 512 bytes (which is also different from 512 chars)
23:32:25 <SpComb> I imagine 64 bytes might run out quickly for all those chinese OpenTTD players out there
23:32:40 <jfc> and then, some one wo;; come and say the same as you... 512 is not enough!!
23:32:51 <SpComb> it's also far too short for any reasonable long Finnish-language full sentence
23:33:05 <jfc> not a discussion on theology
23:33:17 <jfc> irc doe snot have the same purpose as the chat
23:33:52 <jfc> if yo want to be verbose, why would you need to use chat? You're not playing? you're talking?
23:34:02 <SpComb> you're discussing things in the game
23:34:14 <SpComb> and such discussions might well take up a sentence or two
23:34:28 <SpComb> rather annoying have to split it out across four lines, with breaks in mid-word
23:34:53 <SpComb> particularly if you're playing co-op
23:35:01 <SpComb> perhaps 64 chars is enough if you're just competing with others
23:35:09 <curson> seems like none of the recent patches work with 0.6.1
23:35:10 <SpComb> but with co-op, you need to communicate a bit more
23:35:25 <SpComb> but perhaps one should just use IRC indeed
23:37:28 <curson> oh well, no big deal :)
23:38:51 <SpComb> curson: what's the url for the daylength patch topic?
23:43:06 <curson> but the latest patch posted, for one of the latest nightly build, doesn't apply to 0.6.1
23:43:53 <jfc> two choices : try to make it 0.6.1 compatible or do not use 0.6.1 :)
23:44:01 <jfc> nighlies are not that bad nor evil ;)
23:46:29 <curson> the last patch posted is for a "older" nightly
23:46:44 <curson> well, tomorrow I'll probably get one and try with that ;)
23:50:40 <fjb> UpdateOrderDest() got a new third argument. What is that for?
23:52:37 <SpComb> hmm, opening up a giant screenshot of a 512x512 map in firefox... bad idea, it seems
23:53:17 <fjb> You need some swap space...
23:53:53 <SpComb> 1941MB of ram used (by applications)
23:59:59 <SpComb> eye of gnome opens it up without choking too badly in fact, it's only using some 200M of RES now that it got it open - but it used 1.7G while opening, and is currently zoomed out
