10:05:05 <Forked> and you ruined that :p
10:05:21 <TrueBrain> yeah, Tim, boohoo :( We were almost in the guiniss book of records
10:10:42 <peter1138> Do I have someone on ignore?
10:10:58 <peter1138> Cos I don't see anything said for 9 hours...
10:11:30 <Tim> dunno, i only joined 2 hours ago
10:11:37 <TrueBrain> peter1138: I also have my 'burp' as latest entry :p

11:37:23 <guru3> anyone have an idea why with array[2][2]; i can't do array[0] = {1, 2}; ?
11:38:59 <jni> you can't use { } and use with assignment, only with init
11:39:13 <guru3> extra lines of code then :<
11:39:59 <Gekz> it's so terrible, try and initialise a multidimensional array

12:30:52 <dih> sample.cat only holds sound, correct?
12:32:39 <dih> if yes, could the need of that file not be made optional and simply disable sound if that file is not there?
12:33:01 <FauxFaux> The game continues to work (normally) with an empty sample.cat.
12:33:05 <FauxFaux> ie. touch sample.cat
12:37:16 <dih> Ammler: is that not unrelated to samble.cat?
12:37:45 <planetmaker> if the only difference is an empty sample.cat or the original one: obviously not (completely)
12:38:29 <dih> i whish you had played that in german
12:38:39 <dih> then i would at least know if my translation fits in that window :-D
12:38:53 <Ammler> dih: I did on my nightly tests :P
12:39:29 <planetmaker> Ammler: static grfs?
12:39:50 <Ammler> you see that from the fences
12:41:23 <Ammler> planetmaker: static grfs will be included at the end, so I don't use them... :-)
12:41:48 <Ammler> not well useable with newgrfs
12:42:18 <planetmaker> well, yes. But some people might do nevertheless :)
12:43:14 <planetmaker> but I was just checking :)
12:48:02 <Ammler> planetmaker: checked and I can say definitly no
12:58:24 *** Dred_furst has joined #openttd
12:58:24 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
12:58:24 *** izhirahider has joined #openttd
12:58:25 *** mikegrb has joined #openttd
13:03:35 <planetmaker> I can confirm Ammler's observation. Just tested it on my installation with an empty sample.cat of the same size as the original sample.cat
13:03:48 <planetmaker> I get the same newgrf error, too and desync also immediately
13:04:52 <peter1138> Do you have multiple original data files?
13:05:03 <peter1138> It might be switching from Windows to DOS or vice versa.
13:05:35 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
13:07:00 <dih> planetmaker: empty sample.cat should not have the same size as the original sample.cat :-P
13:07:02 <planetmaker> That I don't know. The only debug output I get is a desync one. The only difference is in installation between the two start-ups of OpenTTD is sample.cat
13:07:16 <planetmaker> dih: it has. spaces and line breaks. I made sure :)
13:07:26 <dih> that is not empty then :-)
13:07:35 <peter1138> You generally get more debugging output if you turn debuggin on.
13:08:22 <planetmaker> peter1138: which debugging parameters would you like me to set?
13:10:19 <SmatZ> but maybe that's because I have both DOS and WIN grf files...
13:10:34 <dih> SmatZ: you wanna go swim?
13:11:15 <dih> thought perhaps you'd like to build a pool?
13:15:44 <peter1138> Right, I have a disk image, from using dd...
13:15:56 <planetmaker> hm. openttd -d 9 > output.log leaves an empty log file. An idea how to get the debug output into a file then?
13:17:48 <planetmaker> neither worked :S
13:18:06 <planetmaker> everything is still shown in my terminal. And it's history is too short. MacOS 10.4
13:19:36 <planetmaker> openttd -d 9 > logfile.log >> & 1
13:20:02 <TinoDidriksen> >> is append. Can't both > and >> in the same command.
13:21:37 <TinoDidriksen> Ah, yeah, 2> does not mean two >'s...
13:23:06 <planetmaker> err... I guess, I have to ask for the complete command line... sorry :S
13:23:35 <glx> openttd -d 9 > logfile.log 2>&1
13:24:16 <glx> but "openttd -d 9 2>logfile.log" should be enough
13:25:10 <planetmaker> the first line (I tried it before) has NO effect. Nothing's started. No output. Very strange.
13:25:35 <glx> no output is normal as everything is redirected to the file
13:25:46 <planetmaker> well. But OpenTTD isn't started.
13:26:31 *** planetmaker was kicked by DorpsGek (Wrong channel. Retry in #openttdcoop.)
13:26:41 *** planetmaker has joined #openttd
13:28:12 <planetmaker> ok... right 3.3 MB log file...
13:29:50 <planetmaker> g2g quickly. will post later
13:35:16 <dih> (./openttd 2>&1) > logfile
13:47:02 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
13:55:40 <Eddi|zuHause> <peter1138> Right, I have a disk image, from using dd... <- it'd be easier if you had a partition image
13:56:18 <Eddi|zuHause> but generally, loop devices will get the job done
13:59:57 <Hassan> I am experiencing problems with getting the server list from the master server in the ingame multyplayer system
14:00:11 <Hassan> It just doesn't show up anything...
14:00:32 <dih> i am fine, and how are you?
14:01:05 <dih> i would have been better too, had you not just blasted in without greeting etc ;-)
14:01:17 <dih> (uh i enjoyed that, thank you Hassan)
14:01:20 <Hassan> I will remember that :
14:01:42 <dih> did you try visiting servers.openttd.org ?
14:01:57 <Hassan> all servers are listed, and according to that page
14:02:07 <Hassan> no problems should be encountered :D
14:02:45 <dih> you can join servers over the console, command: connect ip:port#company
14:02:53 <dih> where company = 255 means spectator
14:03:11 <dih> where when you start the game from the console
14:03:16 <SmatZ> Hassan: what OTTD version are you using?
14:04:31 <Hassan> The console use has succeeded
14:06:14 <Hassan> but i manually did put in the ip of the server in the server list
14:06:22 <Hassan> and it showed me an offline server
14:06:43 <Hassan> might some setting of mine be incorrect?
14:07:19 <yorick> your internet connection.
14:07:36 <yorick> mabe 3979 and 3978 are being blocked?
14:08:05 <Hassan> Hmm good point.. But then it shouldn't have connected to the server I joined now...
14:10:19 <glx> the dropdown is on internet or lan ?
14:10:21 <Hassan> I am unfamiliar with that word
14:10:40 <glx> on top of the server list
14:11:12 <yorick> hm, I manage a packet loss of 33/157
14:12:08 <yorick> oh, that's the packets that are not lost
14:12:50 <Hassan> are you experiencing problems also?
14:13:42 <yorick> no, it works the second time
14:14:21 <yorick> after I fixed the query script :-p
14:15:07 *** welshdra-gone is now known as welshdragom
14:15:15 *** welshdragom is now known as welshdragon
14:16:44 <welshdragon> ln, i have used welshdra-gone for a while now, it suprises me you only just noticed it
14:17:48 <welshdragon> * You are now known as welshdra-gone
14:17:48 <welshdragon> <ln> welshdra-gone: not interesting
14:18:10 <welshdragon> i was replying to his comment
14:18:32 <yorick> I don't remember having ln on ignore
14:20:04 <ln> welshdragon: the point was that it's not interesting that you are gone, therefore don't use away nicks.
14:20:35 <dih> good clients display that anyway
14:20:52 <ln> and anyone doing a /whois on you sees that you are away.
14:21:08 <dih> + you can set auto reply to private messages when you actually are gone
14:21:18 <dih> so anybody trying to contact you in private can see
14:21:32 <Hassan> dih, thx for helping me anyway :D
14:21:43 <Hassan> I will reroute some ports I think
14:21:49 <dih> and anybody contacting you in public will quickly notice you are gone, either by the long pause, or by the client side displayed away statys
14:21:54 <Hassan> Bey bey dih (This good enough for you) :P
14:21:56 <welshdragon> dih and ln i have used that for at least 3 months, ask Prof_Frink, ill remember in future to /part before i set that nick in future
14:22:29 <dih> where are you _that_ important that others need to know?
14:22:45 *** welshdragon has left #openttd
14:22:50 <dih> seriously, it's seldom anything other than trying to appear important or funny
14:23:18 <dih> well - that suits me too :-)

14:29:54 *** welshdragon has joined #openttd
14:33:40 *** nckomodo has joined #openttd
14:40:59 <Ammler> welshdragon: the problem is, if you like to ignore "rename" spam, you also have to ignore join/parts, at least on my client....
14:42:55 <Ammler> (away nick=rename spam) ;-)
14:44:11 <welshdragon> when are the new zoom levels going to be implemented?
14:44:21 <hylje> /ignore * NICKS -pattern "(afk|zzz|off)"
14:44:31 <Eddi|zuHause> welshdragon: they don't
14:44:47 <welshdragon> Eddi|zuHause, oh?
14:45:42 <Eddi|zuHause> it's been decided that at most one further zoom level might come. anything more than that won't fit the game style (especially vehicle movement)
14:47:48 <welshdragon> they look very simcityesque
14:47:54 <eekee> 15:30:35 < ib> lalo, 42 is the answer to everything except "how many make jobs do you want?"
14:56:16 <Rubidium> isn't that the adviced number of jobs for a 19.5 core CPU?
14:57:04 <Gekz> you cant have half a core
14:57:35 <TrueBrain> give me a saw and I show you
14:58:01 <Rubidium> Gekz: but a Celeron is half a core of a Pentium 4
14:58:23 <Gekz> it's not half a core at all.
14:58:37 <TrueBrain> get a saw and yuo can give Gekz a half of a core
14:58:59 <Gekz> RUN, NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS
14:59:09 *** nckomodo has joined #openttd
14:59:15 <TrueBrain> Gekz: why are you stil lhere?
14:59:20 <Gekz> TrueBrain: you have Romance language tendencies
14:59:25 <Gekz> but your native language isnt a romance language
14:59:51 <Belugas> hoo... Gekz likes romance :)
15:00:00 * Belugas sends flowers and poems to Gekz :D
15:00:06 <Gekz> I have a girlfriend Belugas
15:00:13 <TrueBrain> Gekz: and he has a wife, so?
15:00:36 <Gekz> my point was proven in the second line
15:01:30 <Eddi|zuHause> nero doesn't burn here... k3b does ;)
15:03:38 <Eddi|zuHause> am i the only person that did not get what he meant with "romance language tendencies"?
15:04:40 <peter1138> Half a core of a Pentium 4? But a Pentium 4 only had one core... Or maybe that's the point.
15:05:57 *** stillunknown has joined #openttd
15:06:49 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: I tried to ignore it :p
15:07:24 <Rubidium> peter1138: a Celeron is a P4 with broken caches etc. disabled, basically they're failed P4s
15:07:47 <Brianetta> With the possible exception of the mobile version
15:08:14 <Brianetta> which is a P4 where they did without all those caches to make the thing small
15:08:17 <Belugas> i guess he meant romane, instead
15:08:35 <Belugas> like coming from latin
15:09:13 <Eddi|zuHause> i'd have said "romanic", but still, the statement makes absolutely no sense
15:09:27 <Brianetta> Romance means "of Rome" and in linguistics refers to languages including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian
15:10:15 <Brianetta> In western Europe, the other languages tend to be Germanic ones, including German, English, Dutch and all those scandie ones.
15:10:27 <Belugas> i have to agree with Eddi|zuHause, "Romanic" sounds better
15:10:45 <peter1138> It's not the right word, though.
15:11:25 *** yorick is now known as Guest6419
15:11:27 <Eddi|zuHause> Brianetta: yes, i know language classifications, but that does not give any further sense to the statement
15:12:19 <Brianetta> Probably referring to that post you made on the forum
15:12:33 <Brianetta> about capitalisation
15:12:46 <Brianetta> to be perfectly honest, he didn't make a lot of sense to me, either
15:12:52 <Eddi|zuHause> how does that fit in?
15:13:40 <Brianetta> Latin, being the Romance progenitor, only had capitals for carved legibility.
15:13:50 *** Dr_Jekyll has joined #openttd
15:14:27 <Eddi|zuHause> the german capitalisation rules are not that old...
15:15:26 <Brianetta> They're also brilliant
15:15:43 <Eddi|zuHause> german bible translator Martin Luther is said to have made that rule widespread
15:15:55 <Brianetta> Capitalising all Nouns makes it so much easier to parse a Sentence
15:16:03 <Brianetta> Time flies like an Arrow
15:16:11 <Brianetta> Fruit Flies like a Banana
15:16:16 *** extraPrima has joined #openttd
15:16:31 <Eddi|zuHause> all objects that were created by god got one capital letter
15:17:11 <Kloopy> You hate Herod? He probably would say the same thing about you. :(
15:17:25 <extraPrima> i need some nice mods for citys bridges and trian stations
15:17:40 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
15:17:45 <extraPrima> some that look a kind of "real"
15:17:56 <Ammler> extraPrima: ask Belugas
15:17:57 <extraPrima> can you show me some?
15:18:07 <Brianetta> That's a great place
15:18:20 <peter1138> Belugas, when are you seeing them?
15:19:23 <Aylomen> Try total bridge renewal set, if you want bridges
15:19:45 <Belugas> peter1138 : 23 of september :)
15:20:03 <Belugas> tick tock time marches on and on!
15:20:35 <Belugas> and guess who's next on the list?
15:21:10 <extraPrima> does dbset work together with other sets such as total brigde renewal
15:21:56 <Eddi|zuHause> just using several sets of the same kind will get you in trouble, like two trainsets, or two roadsets
15:22:42 <extraPrima> now a have new trains and new bridges
15:22:52 <extraPrima> just need nice cities
15:23:30 <Aylomen> Total Town replacement or that American Town Set, don't know, waht it is called
15:24:00 <Aylomen> but look at grf crawler, there are many nice sets
15:24:12 <Belugas> damned song's at home :(
15:24:33 <extraPrima> there are too many
15:24:48 <Eddi|zuHause> two house sets should be fine
15:25:00 <Belugas> in order to spot the difference ;)
15:25:01 <Eddi|zuHause> two station sets are definitely fine
15:25:39 <Eddi|zuHause> two industry sets are only fine if they are designed to cooperate with each other
15:25:59 <Aylomen> station sets I always have all on
15:27:42 <Belugas> damned... CODY is not even on my cell phone
15:29:02 <Eddi|zuHause> there are still the intartubes
15:30:29 <Aylomen> or just download the openttdcoop grf package and you have the most important ones
15:37:12 *** Chris82 has joined #openttd
15:37:38 <Chris82> I just got the latest trunk revision via SVN (r14289) and I have a strange problem with it
15:38:00 <peter1138> It has a green lump on the end of its penis?
15:38:01 <Chris82> when I try to start the game it says "Failed to find a graphics set. Please acquire a graphics set for OpenTTD."
15:38:35 <Belugas> did it worked before?
15:38:39 <dih> long long long long time no see
15:38:59 <yorick> try converting your obg files to windows/linux
15:39:12 <yorick> but svn should have done that...
15:39:31 <Chris82> well it worked with ChrisIN-R2 which is 11xxx something
15:39:43 <Chris82> haven't tried any newer versions except that buggy Russian patch pack and that worked too
15:39:48 <Chris82> but latest trunk doesn't work
15:40:16 <Chris82> what are these .obg files?
15:40:25 <Chris82> I copied the three .grfs from the data dir to my openttd dir
15:41:17 <Chris82> lol ok didn't figure I have to copy the .obg files to the openttd/data dir as well :p
15:43:25 <Chris82> just wanted to compile a small patchpack that's multiplayer save because the last ChrisIN doesn't have all the nice features from current trunk :D
15:43:43 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Bjarni
15:43:53 <yorick> but trunk doesn't have all the nice features from ChrisIN
15:44:21 <Bjarni> however the trunk is somewhat more bugfree
15:44:37 <Bjarni> or at least known bugs are more likely to be fixed
15:44:51 <Chris82> yorick: thus the patchpack
15:45:06 <Chris82> I will just add daylength, distant join stations and stuff I use really frequently
15:45:21 <Chris82> I am just coding a new daypatch seems to have gotten much simpler with current trunk
15:45:37 <ln> Bjarni: there's some issue with OS X version crashing, and Rubidium suspected it is because of the locale detection code. his evidence was that Bjarni has messed with the code.
15:45:55 <ln> (see the logs to confirm that)
15:46:13 <Bjarni> is there a bug report somewhere?
15:47:07 <Chris82> would it be bad to replace "Money GetDisplayRunningCost() const { return (this->GetRunningCost() >> 8); }" in vehicle_base.h line 440 with something along "Money GetDisplayRunningCost() const { return (this->GetRunningCost() >> 8) * _veh_runcost_factor; }"
15:47:19 <Chris82> this way I could adjust the gui with just one line :)
15:47:50 <Chris82> at least if that does what I think it does *g*
15:47:56 <ln> Bjarni: dunno. and indeed there was no other indication that it would be related to locale detection in any way.
15:52:51 <peter1138> Copy files to run OpenTTD? It all works in-place for me...
15:54:29 <peter1138> Bjarni, the issue was compile-time detection of OS X version... which clearly can't work if a binary is to work on 10.3 up to 10.5...

16:02:08 <peter1138> MAY NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS COME THROUGH YOUR DOOR
16:02:42 <yorick> hm, my happiness just left, and now nothing else can come in
16:03:06 <peter1138> Get a room for that.
16:03:11 <Chris82> was there a wiki somewhere what the different patch settings like NC, MS, 0 etc. mean?
16:03:34 <yorick> I can't even leave the room
16:03:47 <yorick> Chris82: yes, there is
16:04:53 <yorick> NC = without thousand separators
16:05:29 <yorick> S = no save or network sync
16:05:42 <yorick> C = don't save in openttd.cfg
16:06:09 <peter1138> But we don't have patches any more ;)
16:06:21 <yorick> lets rename the article
16:07:14 <peter1138> OH! HOW THE DOGS STACK UP
16:07:24 <yorick> they cant go through my door either
16:07:51 <Eddi|zuHause> let's rename everything back to "patches" :p
16:08:02 <peter1138> Yeah, I was used to patches...
16:08:29 <Chris82> uhm how is it called now if not patch?
16:08:48 <Eddi|zuHause> they were never patches at all
16:09:06 <Eddi|zuHause> same as they are not addons or plugins
16:09:22 <Chris82> I think you can call them all that, it's just not a bugfix :D
16:09:38 <yorick> lets name them something nonexistant, a patting or something
16:11:18 <yorick> satch is shorther than patch
16:17:17 <Chris82> uhm how can I "access" patch settings
16:17:22 <Chris82> _patches.foo doesn't work anymore
16:17:35 <Chris82> and EconomySettings.foo doesn't work either
16:18:18 <Eddi|zuHause> _setings_game.<type>.<name>
16:18:46 <Eddi|zuHause> or _settings_client
16:19:35 <Bjarni> ln: any idea of when this crashing issue was discussed?
16:20:30 <ln> Bjarni: on monday or something
16:20:58 <Bjarni> and nobody posted a bug report to inform me?
16:21:06 <Bjarni> what a great bunch of guys you all are :P
16:21:33 <Bjarni> it took you 3 days to inform me of a crashing bug that you expect me to fix
16:22:18 <glx> [17:55:50] <@Rubidium> LilDood: the best you can do is post a bug report on flyspray that the 0.6.2 release doesn't work on 10.3 and that the nightlies do
16:26:35 <Rubidium> Bjarni: I'm not going to post bugreports of things I can't reproduce myself as we then still can't tell whether the issue is fixed or not because the reporter is unknown
16:28:09 <peter1138> Well, we informed you now ;)
16:28:20 * welshdragon thought of a nice addition for buses, but is unsure whether it would be any good
16:29:50 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd
16:29:52 *** [alt]buster is now known as [com]buster
16:31:16 <welshdragon> have a feature that lets you use a destination baord type feature, that appears alongside the name window, and you can set the destinations in the orders window
16:31:39 <Chris82> build_vehicle_gui.cpp line 185 .... cunning should be running I think :)
16:31:46 <welshdragon> and any buses that are going to the depot can display not in service
16:35:39 <Bjarni> I think I will ignore this crash report until I have access to some fully working 10.3 and 10.4 again
16:35:46 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
16:36:13 <Bjarni> either that or some guy who will actually test what I tell him/send him
16:36:24 <Chris82> what was the difference between static and static inline again?
16:38:02 <Rubidium> not much more than that the latter suggests the compiler to inline the function
16:42:51 <SpComb> oh noes, cargodest-desyncs :(
16:43:53 <Ammler> SpComb: we have a stable server at #openttdcoop.dev
16:44:03 <SpComb> running what revision?
16:44:05 <Ammler> should be latest version
16:44:25 <Ammler> Game version is hc23c4457
16:44:31 <Chris82> I am off for today, bye bye
16:45:05 <SpComb> "unknown revision 'hc23c4457'"
16:45:09 <SpComb> where did you pull from?
16:46:04 <blathijs> SpComb: Remove the "h"
16:46:08 <Ammler> SpComb: we running the server with latest nightly build :-)
16:46:38 <SpComb> right, silly indeed, h is hardly a valid hex char
16:47:57 <SpComb> ac3014e37a77 is more recent (Tue Sep 09 07:39:08 2008 +0200) than c23c4457 (Sun Sep 07 18:02:58 2008 +0200)
16:48:04 <blathijs> SpComb: It took me a week or so to draw that conclusions for a kernel revision some time ago (but then with the "g" of git)
16:48:53 <SpComb> the tools should complain about those :)
16:49:06 <SpComb> well, I'll try downgrading to c23c4457
16:49:18 <Ammler> the "h" is from openttd :-)
16:49:30 <blathijs> SpComb: It's not just hashes that are valid revisions, of course
16:50:12 <SpComb> is "h...." ever a valid hg revision?
16:52:13 <Ammler> if you want, we can start a new game at #openttdcoop.dev ...
16:52:21 <FauxFaux> SpComb: One assumes it's hex.
16:52:45 <SpComb> Ammler: I have my own server and my own co-op game with a friend :)
16:53:08 <planetmaker> glx: the log which I created with the empty sample.cat, is it still useful or was some further insight obtained meanwhile?
16:53:16 <SpComb> const char _openttd_revision[] = "-e hac3014e3";
16:53:44 <blathijs> That would be my fault, though I think SmatZ fixed that
16:54:08 <blathijs> SpComb: Yes, if I create a tag that has the name "h...."
16:54:13 <Ammler> planetmaker: you reported already?
16:54:16 <SpComb> oh, tags are revisions
16:54:23 <blathijs> SpComb: At least that's the case on git, I don't know hg well
16:54:36 <planetmaker> Ammler: I did nothing since getting the log. Had to leave immediately due to RL right then.
16:55:25 <planetmaker> what openttd -d 9 tells us when desyncing with the "empty" sample.cat on our PS.
16:56:01 <Belugas> i doubt they can tell you anything
16:56:02 <Eddi|zuHause> i hate my wireless mouse cable...
16:56:35 <Ammler> yeah, empty sample cat is silent, so it can't talk anymore :P
16:57:09 <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: batteries and heavy weight
16:57:46 <Eddi|zuHause> batteries i have, but the cable for charging the batteries is broken, it does not charge properly
16:58:22 <Ammler> planetmaker: what does it "tell"?
16:58:51 <planetmaker> Ammler: 3.3 MB plaintext file...
16:58:59 <SpComb> hmm... why does OpenTTD think that this is rev ac3014e3
16:59:11 <SpComb> tip=ac3014e3, but my working copy is c23c445783d6
16:59:25 <Ammler> SpComb: only first 8 chars
16:59:40 <Ammler> you might forgot hg up?
16:59:51 <hylje> maybe it doesn't count working copies as the current version
17:00:00 <SpComb> I specifically did `hg up -r c23c4457`
17:00:17 <planetmaker> I correct myself. 32MB.
17:00:27 <Ammler> indeed, you already pulled more :-)
17:03:48 <SpComb> HASH=`LC_ALL=C hg tip 2>/dev/null | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f3 | cut -c1-8`
17:04:44 <blathijs> I just copy pasted that from the Makefile :-)
17:05:02 <blathijs> tip is the tip of the current branch, but you can have another rev checked out?
17:06:23 <SpComb> sure, you can `hg up` yourself to something older than tip
17:06:51 <blathijs> How to find the checked out rev, then?
17:07:59 <SpComb> I suspect it might be the first row of `hg parents`
17:14:27 <Belugas> how was the desynching sample.cat made ?
17:14:40 <Belugas> was it a simple file no byte?
17:15:40 <Ammler> Belugas: touch sample.cat
17:16:05 <Ammler> but I didn't find a 2. server yet. it only desyncs at coop ps.
17:16:41 <Eddi|zuHause> did coop ever do a ship only game? :p
17:17:55 <Ammler> might it be possible, there is a newgrf, which does use sample.cat sounds?
17:18:33 <FauxFaux> Eddi|zuHause: Oh, that'd be heart.
17:18:33 <SpComb> hmm... if the version-detection fails like that, would that be a good explanation for the persistent desyncs?
17:18:43 <Belugas> ammler, sorry, i have no idea what yu are talking about -> touch
17:19:21 <Belugas> [13:17] <Ammler> might it be possible, there is a newgrf, which does use sample.cat sounds? <-- yes, absolutely piossible
17:19:21 <Ammler> Belugas: that's how I created the empty sample.cat
17:20:00 <Ammler> it creates a file with 0 byte size
17:20:26 <Ammler> sorry, thought, that is a common used tool :-)
17:20:31 <Eddi|zuHause> Eine DATEI, die nicht existiert, wird leer angelegt.
17:20:51 <Belugas> so it means that right form the start, there is a lot of differences in the internals. the list is not the same
17:21:50 <planetmaker> Belugas: for my test, I created a file the same size as the original, containing spaces and line breaks.
17:22:19 <Belugas> planetmaker, there are verifications of the internal structure of the file upi loading
17:22:35 <planetmaker> yes, OpenTTD rightfully proclaims that it is corrupted.
17:22:44 <Belugas> if it's incompatible or empty, it gives the same result
17:22:45 <Eddi|zuHause> isn't sample.cat a binary file? spaces and linebreaks won't do a lot of good with that
17:23:11 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: but should it change the length of vehicles? In my understanding it contains sound...
17:23:27 <Belugas> bring a decent sample.cat, one with 73 sounds, and you willnot have problems
17:23:33 <Belugas> even if it's not th original one
17:24:11 <Belugas> what is the relation with vehicle length???
17:24:19 <planetmaker> :) Well. I don't know.
17:24:21 <Ammler> that is the error msg.
17:24:34 <planetmaker> you got the image, Ammler^^
17:24:35 <Belugas> ho... just... saying stufff in thin air.. I see hehhe
17:25:10 <Ammler> after that, you will be kicked with desync
17:25:12 <yorick> there is an error in that message
17:25:18 <planetmaker> Also: with broken sound I wouldn't expect a desync.
17:26:00 *** Fantasya has joined #openttd
17:26:56 <Belugas> Ammler, looks like a general message related to callbacks and all
17:28:20 <Ammler> I could imagine, a newgrf likes to use a sound sample and you get that because there is no real sample.cat.
17:29:14 <Belugas> has anyone tried to search where that message comes from?
17:29:17 <Ammler> we could now grep our newgrfs for that sound actions
17:29:18 <planetmaker> Background was to test whether we could do without sound, so that - given OpenGFX - there could be a completely free OpenTTD :)
17:29:28 <planetmaker> Belugas: I have a 32MB log file...
17:29:41 <planetmaker> ... but to me it plainly tells nothing.
17:29:52 <Belugas> and i have a one line grep result telling me the same :P
17:30:33 <planetmaker> If it's helpful, I can try to upload it somewhere or extract some parts.
17:30:51 <Belugas> Ammler, of course: get the right file :P
17:31:43 <Belugas> void CheckTrainsLengths() <-- this is where the problem triggers the message
17:31:52 <Belugas> it smells like a callback has failed,
17:32:01 <Belugas> making the lenght of the train wrong
17:32:15 <Belugas> the acvllback failed maybe because of the absence of the proper sound
17:33:11 *** Rexxars has joined #openttd
17:33:33 <Ammler> we use UKRS there, smells like another NewGRF "forced" bug of ??? :-)
17:33:51 <Belugas> there is no bug if yuo are using the proper file
17:34:07 <Belugas> it sounds like own inflected one
17:34:12 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: UKRS has newsounds, if the original sounds are missing, the newsounds get at the wrong place, and everything gets confused
17:35:25 <planetmaker> a fuck a day keeps the madness away :P
17:35:30 <Ammler> maybe it is possible, grf coder can detect that and if no sample.cat available disable newsounds?
17:35:52 <peter1138> I don't see why a callback result would be dependent on sounds...
17:36:18 <Belugas> that is what i try to find, right now
17:36:42 <Eddi|zuHause> i have no idea either...
17:38:44 <peter1138> Clearly it is to spite Ammler :D
17:39:34 <Fantasya> where can I get yorick's patch?
17:40:32 <Eddi|zuHause> where can i find out my current DNS settings?
17:40:37 <peter1138> cat /etc/resolv.conf
17:40:43 <Belugas> Fantasya, why? are you suicidal??
17:41:17 <Belugas> Ammler, have you been able to isolate the grf that causes it?
17:41:32 <Belugas> Fantasya, i would not trust his patches at all ;)
17:41:38 <Ammler> shall I try with UKRS?
17:41:47 <Ammler> I joined around 10 servers
17:41:48 <peter1138> Try without, then try with.
17:41:58 <Ammler> every server was ok, just ps faild
17:42:02 <Ammler> and we have UKRS there
17:44:08 <Bjarni> <Chris82> what was the difference between static and static inline again? <-- static will be inlined if only one call is made but it's more likely to be a function if it's called a lot. If inline is used then it will be inline except if it's not possible (like recursive calls)
17:44:43 <Bjarni> generally using inline will make the code a bit bigger but also a bit faster at execution time
17:45:54 <peter1138> Belugas, everyone is supposed to know the OpenTTDCoop abbreviations... ;)
17:46:12 <Belugas> indeed... where was my head :S
17:46:26 <glx> like my script is supposed to know all OpenTTDCoop commands ;)
17:46:38 <Eddi|zuHause> it's a nice trophy on my whale chamber
17:47:04 <planetmaker> glx: so it's your doing to kick people, asking for password? :)
17:47:21 <planetmaker> Honestly, it's a nice function :)
17:47:25 <Eddi|zuHause> no, DorpsGek kicks
17:47:25 <glx> planetmaker: you didn't know?
17:47:27 <guru3> would be be a bad idea to strcpy from bits of the same string?
17:47:37 <guru3> ie strcpy(string + 1, string)
17:47:41 <guru3> it does seem to segfault :/
17:47:57 <planetmaker> glx: I know - I "tested" it before :P . But I knew not who made it :)
17:48:23 <glx> it's a simple script in my client
17:48:26 <guru3> SmatZ: thanks, i'll try that
17:48:39 <SmatZ> The strings may not overlap,
17:48:40 <SmatZ> and the destination string dest must be large enough to receive the copy.
17:48:41 <peter1138> You can type !password as often as you like when glx is not here.
17:49:09 <glx> Bjarni: it's a "smart" script
17:49:11 <guru3> *whistles* i might not have read the entire man page...
17:49:15 <Ammler> Belugas: approved desynced with UKRS only
17:49:31 <Bjarni> glx: it kicked me once by mistake >_<
17:49:40 <guru3> that seems to have worled
17:49:55 <glx> the first version did yes
17:50:12 <guru3> i now have a 170 character line :D
17:52:02 <Ammler> Belugas: it doesn't load UKRS at all, it seems
17:54:49 * Fantasya np: MDB - BEAUTIFUL VOICES 028 (SOLARSTONE SPECIAL EDITION) [79:04m/256kbps/44kHz]
17:55:19 * yorick waits for ln to say "turn that of"
17:55:28 <Belugas> Ammler: good, so you now have something to chew :)
17:55:37 * peter1138 np: Stereolab - Miss Modular
17:55:46 <ln> yorick: i would never say "turn that of", because it should be "off"
17:55:59 <Belugas> it may be OR your server, OR your UKRS
17:56:03 <peter1138> Belugas, a patch from Ammler?
17:56:21 <peter1138> Oh, then he needs to not use an empty sample.cat.

17:57:35 <Ammler> Belugas: seriously, you think it's not up to ottd?
17:57:43 <guru3> how do you know if they're from the us unless they have a passport?
17:57:46 <Ammler> shall I report it at UKRS thread then?
17:57:55 <peter1138> Ammler, no. It's because your sample.cat is empty.
17:58:03 <peter1138> You ought to have figured that one out.
17:58:16 <peter1138> guru3, they'll be the only people without a passport...
17:58:42 *** lobstar has joined #openttd
17:58:56 <Belugas> Ammler, OpenTTD is assuming you have a valid sample.cat
17:59:13 <ln> guru3: well it's not unheard of that one doesn't need a passport to enter another country.
17:59:24 <Belugas> if ever OpenTTD decides that it does not need sample.cat, it will behave correctly
17:59:31 <ln> guru3: especially you should know that
17:59:41 <Belugas> you are raising issues that are totally invalid
18:00:24 <guru3> true, but it's not exactly 'best practice' in most countries either
18:00:36 <Ammler> Belugas: well, I don't like to tell people where the "illegal" download locations are...
18:00:49 <guru3> i remember the time we nearly drove into russia...
18:00:55 <Belugas> now...thank you very much, Ammler, you just ruined the time i allowed myaself to do some ottd coding for Phantasm's bug
18:01:17 <Belugas> Ammler, just DON'T tell them, just make them SEARCH
18:01:37 <peter1138> It is an incredibly hard search...
18:01:38 <Belugas> baby feeding seems to be the commun way of doing nowaday :(

18:03:14 <peter1138> Sarcasm detectors failing :D
18:03:34 <guru3> your voice does not lend itself to sarcasm
18:03:41 <Belugas> Ammler, do as you wish
18:03:44 <Ammler> Belugas: also for dedicated server, it would be cool, if it could handle it.
18:03:56 <Belugas> but your efforts might be better spent by making a replacement...
18:04:07 <Belugas> well why don't you do it?
18:04:48 <Belugas> do you know how many things wold be cool? plenty
18:05:01 <guru3> ifndef is an anagram of define

18:28:20 <Ammler> as you mostly do already.
18:32:57 <Belugas> why in the name of WHOMEVER should i get myslef in that kind of fucking boring one-more-time-job???
18:33:21 <Belugas> just for Thou, my Laziness King???
18:34:01 <welshdragon> Belugas, that was well said ;)
18:34:35 <Ammler> omg, you are really a poor guy.
18:35:15 <peter1138> Why would be bother supporting an empty sample.cat?

18:39:33 <Belugas> Ammler, the equation is so simple : OR YOU work OR I work. Do I care about empty sample.cat? Not at all. Do YOU? yes you do. so move your butt and try to be helpfull.
18:39:53 <Belugas> and i do not consider myself poor at all.

18:43:56 *** mortal` has joined #openttd
18:47:55 <Swallow> peter1138: Regarding your comment on the improved breakdowns patch (to calculate power/speed only when it changes)...
18:48:25 <Swallow> You'd prefer to save the value in v->u.rail.cached_power/max_speed?
18:49:37 *** mortal`` has joined #openttd
18:49:54 <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds reasonable
18:51:30 <Swallow> consequence would be that the max speed displayed in the gui is changed as well
18:52:51 <peter1138> Well maybe not then :p
18:53:09 <peter1138> i just wonder about performance if there are lot of broken down vehicles... hehe
18:54:06 <Swallow> if that is the problem... fix your trains :)
18:55:20 <Swallow> Well, I don't really mind whether it's cached or not
18:55:23 <peter1138> I don't think that answer will hold :)
18:55:42 <peter1138> Certainly the GUI max speed point is relevant.
18:57:41 <Swallow> I'm not sure if there are any other things, besides GUI, that depend on it...
18:59:26 <Swallow> looking at the code, there's also a reference to cached_max_speed in economy.cpp for calculating station rating
19:00:59 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
19:01:29 <Swallow> peter1138: Did you have any other remarks, besides caching/not caching?
19:01:44 <peter1138> Yeah, cached_max_speed needs to have the real max speed :o
19:01:51 <peter1138> Swallow, can't actually remember, heh...
19:02:05 <peter1138> Also, is it me, or does zoom in/out not zoom at the mouse pointer?
19:03:11 <Swallow> it zooms at the centre of the screen AFAIK
19:03:17 <eekee> I think scroll-wheel zoom zooms at the pointer.
19:03:28 <eekee> (in fact I'm fairly sure it does)
19:03:47 <eekee> I guess keyboard zoom replicates the buttons, which zoom center
19:03:49 <peter1138> It doesn't for me :o
19:10:06 <guru3> anyone any good with sdl/opengl programming?
19:10:31 <FauxFaux> Retarded question 1010.
19:11:12 <guru3> now that we know who's not, anyone else?
19:11:56 <FauxFaux> Okay, I'll play. I'm good at OpenGL, imho. What's your real question?
19:12:24 <guru3> when i switch between full screen and windows my textures stop rendering correctly, they become white blocks
19:13:05 <guru3> if i reload them, it comes out looking like there are two on top of each other
19:14:28 <guru3> (and the transparency goes away)
19:14:55 <TrueBrain> Ammler: you finished with the Features update?
19:17:18 <peter1138> IIRC with some cards you basically need to reinitialize the whole thing when switching from windowed to fullscreen. But I'm probably wrong.
19:17:53 <frosch123> * window mode with double zoom (CTRL+D to toggle) (MS Windows only) <- no longer true, is it?
19:18:10 <TrueBrain> please remove it from the wiki
19:18:42 <Eddi|zuHause> i really liked that feature ;)
19:19:01 <TrueBrain> didn't expect you to do anything else :p
19:19:56 <Eddi|zuHause> i find this distinct lack of CIA disturbing
19:20:55 <Belugas> Eddi|zuHause, #openttd.notice does the same job :)
19:21:01 <Belugas> plus, it's more reliable ;)

19:28:36 <yorick> stupid flyspray lacking xmlrpc
19:29:56 <yorick> 39, last time I checked
19:29:58 <TrueBrain> tnx Ammler for your work
19:30:13 <Ammler> dih helped me a little
19:31:55 <Ammler> hmm, now I see, what I wanted to add
19:32:05 <Ammler> links to related wiki pages...
19:45:18 *** yorick is now known as Guest6454
19:53:52 <Czeko> how can i make a city name list to openttd?
19:54:19 <Noldo> it's behind one of the buttons
19:55:34 <Ammler> ActionF, if I remember correctly...
19:55:52 <Czeko> is there any tutorial for that? i just want to make a Mexican cities list
19:56:37 <Ammler> Czeko: how many names?
19:57:04 *** Aylomen has joined #openttd
19:57:12 <Czeko> yup, for all the states and the main cities.
19:57:41 <Belugas> states will be pointless, unless yuouwant to have cities barien statesnames ...
19:58:20 <Ammler> you could use them as filter, like canada town set.
20:00:09 <Czeko> awesome, do i have to change the numbers too?
20:00:18 <Czeko> do they represent something?
20:00:23 <Ammler> Czeko: that is not all :-)
20:00:44 <Czeko> no, but a simple enough first step :-)
20:01:01 <Eddi|zuHause> the file is not utf-8 :(
20:01:10 <Czeko> so ill just change the names then
20:01:17 <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: afaik, nfo can't be utf-8
20:01:53 <Eddi|zuHause> iirc i read somewhere that utf-8 strings need a certain prefix
20:02:37 <Ammler> well, I used iso-8859-1
20:03:12 <Ammler> hmm, dunno, maybe grfcodec is able to convert?
20:03:33 <Eddi|zuHause> grfcodec does not need to convert anything
20:03:42 <Eddi|zuHause> it reads bytes, not characters
20:04:12 <Ammler> it reads chars between double quotes
20:04:38 <Eddi|zuHause> it can't because it has no idea of input encoding
20:04:43 <Ammler> well, I did it that way, worked for me...
20:05:37 <Belugas> maybe time to make it better?
20:07:57 <peter1138> You need to prefix the string with a thorn to use UTF-8
20:08:04 <peter1138> Or something like that.
20:08:42 <Noldo> how is that thorn encoded?
20:10:01 <peter1138> Well that's the question ;)
20:12:22 <Ammler> but the nfo is 8859-1 encoded, isn't?
20:13:02 <Belugas> there is a scetion called UTF-8 Support in that page ;)
20:14:49 <DaleStan> How is that thorn encoded? <-- In UTF-8, just like the rest of the string it flags.
20:15:47 <DaleStan> Strings in NFO are encoded in NFO encoding. Some combination of Latin-1, Latin-15, and UTF-8.
20:16:08 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: オーストリア does not look like 8859-1
20:16:44 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: like i said, grfcodec cannot know any encoding, it just parses bytes
20:17:06 <Ammler> but you need to save it right way
20:17:15 <Ammler> to write "right" bytes
20:17:34 <Eddi|zuHause> any sane editor lets you specify the encoding
20:18:02 <Ammler> hmm, why didn't it work here, as I saved it as utf-8
20:18:36 <DaleStan> Did you prefix all strings containing high-ascii characters with a thorn? (U+00DE)
20:19:23 <Ammler> I even didn't use any "high-ascii" chars
20:19:32 <DaleStan> Actually, that's "characters beyond U+007F".
20:19:38 <Ammler> german Umlauts aren't?
20:20:12 <eekee> Plain ascii is strictly US-centric
20:20:24 <eekee> ($ but no £, for instance)
20:20:37 <FauxFaux> No ¬ either, majorly insufficient.
20:21:04 <DaleStan> Low ASCII contains no accents, and only the following symbols: ~!@#$%^&*()_+`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./
20:22:14 <Ammler> didn't use that prefix
20:23:52 <DaleStan> That's because it's encoded in Latin-TTD (Approximately Latin-15, IIRC), which does contain umlauts.
20:25:48 <Ammler> so if I like to support UTF-8, I would need to prefix every "strange" name and save as UTF-8?
20:27:08 <DaleStan> That, or you write your own editor that automatically does the right thing with all strings.
20:28:42 <Ammler> then I see my fault, I did only prefix non iso-8859-1 chars.
20:29:00 <Eddi|zuHause> prefix the strings, not the characters
20:29:17 <Ammler> yeah, of course, I prefixed only the strings with those chars.
20:29:28 <Eddi|zuHause> that should suffice
20:29:31 <Ammler> in that case language names.
20:29:55 <Eddi|zuHause> like this: 39 C3 9E "オーストリア (grf)" 00
20:29:59 <Ammler> that's why it has now not all languages defined :-)
20:31:16 <Ammler> that was huge work to copy all languages from src/lang and then as I saved, the whole nfo was screwend ;-)
20:32:02 <Eddi|zuHause> well, you can byte-encode the strings first
20:32:09 <Eddi|zuHause> then you don't need to worry
20:35:00 <Ammler> and the high ascii depense on the codepage?
20:35:23 <Ammler> thanks, should get it now :-)
20:36:07 <Eddi|zuHause> <32 are usually not displayable control characters (beep, line feed, etc.)
20:36:44 <peter1138> 'codepage' being a DOSism...
20:36:57 <Ammler> it wouldn't hurt if I prefix all strings
20:37:18 <glx> doesn't matter as ASCII is part of UTF8 ;)
20:38:29 <Ammler> will the resulting GRF be bigger?
20:44:34 <Eddi|zuHause> two bytes per string bigger ;)
20:46:25 <Ammler> 2bytes per char, isn't
20:46:49 * yorick encourages devs to review newly submitted patch for FS#2241
20:46:51 <Eddi|zuHause> no, the characters are not changed
20:46:52 <peter1138> You don't prefix every character...
20:47:01 <Eddi|zuHause> only the prefix needs additinal storage
20:47:09 <Eddi|zuHause> and that prefix is two bytes long
20:47:40 <Ammler> but..., it needs 2byte per char for utf-8,:-(
20:47:41 <Eddi|zuHause> grfcodec does absolutely not care what encoding the strings are in, it copies the bytes verbatim into the grf
20:47:51 <peter1138> Ammler, no it doesn't.
20:48:03 <Ammler> now, I am lost again...
20:48:09 <Eddi|zuHause> no, only "high" characters are 2 or more bytes
20:48:17 <Eddi|zuHause> ascii characters are 1 byte
20:48:37 * Pikka wonders if you can copy bytes "verbatim" ;)
20:48:57 <Eddi|zuHause> the highest bit in the character is used to indicate "this is a multi-byte character"
20:49:28 <Ammler> ok, now, I see again :-)
20:50:11 <Eddi|zuHause> i think a character can be up to seven bytes
20:50:25 <peter1138> 4 is the maximum, IIRC.
20:50:28 <DaleStan> <Ammler> it wouldn't hurt if I prefix all strings <-- Well, prefixing strings that contain the control characters 7D..7F without properly changing them to E07D..E07F them will cause things to go badly.
20:51:02 <DaleStan> 4 is the maximum for Unicode. 7 is the maximum for UTF-8. (7FFFFFFFh, IIRC)
20:51:40 <peter1138> RFC 3629 limits the range to 10FFFFh.
20:51:57 <DaleStan> Range for UTF-8? or range for Unicode characters?
20:52:08 <peter1138> Range for Unicode, I believe.
20:52:35 <peter1138> Hmm, possibly UTF-8.
20:52:46 <peter1138> It's limited to 4 bytes, anyway.
20:52:55 <DaleStan> I know that Unicode is limited to a much smaller range than UTF-8 can technically encode.
20:55:45 <DaleStan> But "technically possible" does not mean "valid"; "FE 80 80 80 80 80 80" would (I hope) decode to 0, except that the UTF-8 RFC disallows encodings that are not minimum-length.
20:56:12 <peter1138> FE was never valid.
20:56:34 <peter1138> UTF-8 allowed up to 6 bytes originally, before it was limited to 4.
20:56:45 <peter1138> (Indeed, my original UTF-8 stuff for OpenTTD allowed 6 bytes)
20:56:57 <DaleStan> Oh. Then FC and drop an 80.
20:57:14 <peter1138> It would decode to an error ;)
20:57:52 *** Spoons is now known as FauxFaux
21:12:32 <dih> the wording PBS signal in the english lang file is odd
21:14:10 <blathijs> actually, it's Path Based Signalling signal
21:14:17 <blathijs> which i slightly less weird :-)
21:16:33 <nckomodo> Public Broadcasting Station signal
21:41:29 <Czeko> im back, i have the list of some mexican cities (about 90)... now what?
21:42:32 <Ammler> so you just like to make a example?
21:42:50 <Ammler> because 90 is not that much for 4k² map
21:43:19 <dih> Ammler: there are no 4k^2 maps
21:43:29 <dih> at least not in standard shipped OpenTTD
21:43:56 <Czeko> should i write more before proceeding?
21:43:57 <dih> but 90 is still not enough for 2K^2 map
21:44:07 <Czeko> how many should i write?
21:44:21 <dih> Czeko, why dont you start a game with that map size?
21:44:34 <dih> set number of towns to the max value
21:44:36 <Czeko> and count the number of cities
21:44:43 <dih> set number of industries to minimum value (none)
21:44:51 <dih> then open the towns directory
21:44:57 <dih> and it will tell you how many there are
21:45:11 <Ammler> my swisstowns has around 2k possibilites
21:45:21 <Ammler> and frenchtown around 400
21:45:44 <Ammler> but you should be able to start with around 200
21:49:03 <Ammler> and coding is easier if you have not more then 255 names
21:51:46 <Kasceh> is there any date on openttd 7.0 ?
21:52:14 <Kasceh> I want PBS when i play multiplayer
21:54:59 <planetmaker> Kasceh: join a nightly server. E.g. the openttd fairplay nightly by dih
21:56:12 <Kasceh> planetmaker, i like to do different game modes :P im not exactly desperate for 7, just wanted to know if anyone had a date on its release :P
21:56:42 <Rubidium> OpenTTD 7.0 is likely to be released somewhere far into one of the next decades or centuries
21:59:43 <planetmaker> Kasceh: you know the current stable version number?
22:00:02 <dih> Kasceh, what is wrong with my nightly server?
22:00:03 <Kasceh> im on 6.2 idk if its the current
22:00:44 <Kasceh> Ill probably see the same people, which is more like a group than a server :/
22:00:47 <planetmaker> or read the website.
22:01:08 * Rubidium ponders installing Windows NT 2600
22:01:17 <Kasceh> The latest stable version is 0.6.2, released on August 1st 2008.
22:02:21 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
22:02:35 * Rubidium summons MrMist to extrapolate the previous releases and give us a release date
22:05:28 * Rubidium ponders making releasing next major stable release before a Christmas
22:07:19 <peter1138> London Olympic 2012 Release
22:07:36 <Rubidium> yeah, during the tt-forums meet :)
22:08:23 <dih> Kasceh, you can invite as many people to that server as you like
22:08:31 <peter1138> Let's try to beat TTDPatch's record for time between releases.
22:08:39 <dih> it upgrades every day at 20.15 CEST
22:08:49 <dih> and save games are done every hour and available for download
23:02:31 *** Nite_Owl has joined #openttd
23:11:51 <TrueBrain> you people go to bed too early
23:12:21 <Nite_Owl> Depends on the time zone
23:14:32 <TrueBrain> so I can just safely say this channel is boring ;)
23:36:41 <Kasceh> would be awesome if i could only see servers with breakdowns set to off :/
23:38:59 <Kasceh> They are annoying without PBS
23:40:31 <Pikka> does anyone know how town var 41 B Town index is handled in ottd?
23:43:38 <glx> case 0x41: return t->index;
23:45:08 *** welshdragon has joined #openttd
23:48:31 <glx> hmm maybe I should "fix" the wiki for OpenTTD (it's a word, not a byte)
23:51:37 * Pikka is only using the bottom nibble, so I don't care ;)
23:52:09 <glx> and I think we can have more than 69 towns
23:56:38 <Kasceh> Going out of their way to spoil everyone's work
23:56:49 <Kasceh> Such as blocking off my sea oil supply
23:59:24 <Belugas> would be good enough?
continue to next day ⏵
