00:00:05 <TrueBrain> ha, useful table :)
00:00:33 <TrueBrain> no IE5 and IE5.5 ... :p
00:00:43 <Ammler> please, don't support those
00:00:49 <TrueBrain> we do :)
00:00:53 <TrueBrain> it works as well as any other IE :p
00:00:54 <Ammler> I hope not
00:00:58 <TrueBrain> try it ;)
00:01:20 <TrueBrain> the only 'problem' is the download box being too small
00:01:33 <TrueBrain> (and of course it ignoring several CSS1 properties)
00:01:55 <Ammler> I hope, you didn't need time to do it
00:02:00 <Ammler> as it would not be worth
00:02:04 <TrueBrain> only the center
00:02:18 <TrueBrain> well, it is worth it in my mind :) A site that looks identical on all browsers which support CSS :)
00:02:26 <TrueBrain> I mean, come on, that has to count for something ;)
00:02:45 <TrueBrain> people always claim that is not possible ;)
00:02:47 <Ammler> well, openttd.org has webstatistics
00:03:13 <Ammler> as you trashed sunos because of 0 downloads
00:03:21 <TrueBrain> Ammler: I never said trashed :)
00:03:30 <TrueBrain> it is just a low priority to move over :)
00:03:34 <Ammler> how many ie5 visitors did you have last month?
00:04:27 <TrueBrain> 15 today
00:04:38 <TrueBrain> (well, that you didn't expect, did you? :))
00:04:44 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
00:04:46 <TrueBrain> 26 IE5.5
00:04:52 <Ammler> well, yes, and I don't believe
00:04:54 <TrueBrain> 5099 IE6 :)
00:04:58 <Ammler> mostly faked, I guess
00:04:59 <TrueBrain> (unique vistors btw, IP filtered)
00:05:05 <TrueBrain> Ammler: no; Windows 98 users
00:05:08 <TrueBrain> (yes, we do have them)
00:05:19 <TrueBrain> 7500 IE7
00:05:38 <TrueBrain> 47000 FireFox users
00:05:48 <Ammler> month or day?
00:05:49 <SmatZ> nice :)
00:05:49 <TrueBrain> (that all excluding my IP btw)
00:05:51 <TrueBrain> today
00:06:07 <TrueBrain> 13/Sep/2008:06:39:50 +0000
00:06:08 <Rubidium> Ammler: https://secure.openttd.org/stats/awstats/browserdetail.html
00:06:08 <TrueBrain> first etnry
00:06:19 <TrueBrain> ah, tnx Rubidium, I was looking for that :p
00:06:28 *** reldred is now known as reldred|gone
00:06:30 <TrueBrain> so, Ammler, you still think it is silly? :)
00:06:36 <TrueBrain> OpenTTD has a WEIRD userbase :p
00:06:44 <SmatZ> " Firefox 8.04" what:)
00:06:49 <TrueBrain> does MSIE 1.5 exist? :p
00:06:59 <Rubidium> SmatZ: most likely Opera 8.04
00:07:02 <TrueBrain> 5.0.0.14 :p
00:07:03 <TrueBrain> lol
00:07:04 <SmatZ> ahh :)
00:07:05 <TrueBrain> spoofed!! :)
00:07:13 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
00:07:29 <TrueBrain> hmm
00:07:34 <TrueBrain> wait, my stats were off .. uniq doesn't sory
00:08:16 <TrueBrain> no, still the same stats for IE
00:08:28 <TrueBrain> 160k unique visitors today ...
00:08:48 <Ammler> that is amazing high
00:08:49 <Rubidium> that doesn't quite make sense
00:09:00 <TrueBrain> that I was telling you
00:09:05 <TrueBrain> ah :)
00:09:11 <TrueBrain> 6000 unique visitors, much better
00:09:20 <TrueBrain> ( | sort | uniq, not | uniq | sort ;))
00:09:57 <TrueBrain> so: 13 IE5.0, 15 IE5.5, 623 IE6, 955 IE7, 3000 FF
00:09:59 <TrueBrain> today alone
00:10:12 <Rubidium> although... with ~2000 stable downloads a day from SF...
00:11:16 *** roboboy has left #openttd
00:11:21 <TrueBrain> Rubidium: today alone, 700 stable downlaods via binaries.openttd.org, 300 trunk downloads, of which 133 the latest nightly
00:12:11 <TrueBrain> 90% windows ;)
00:14:16 <Ammler> our statistic seems broken
00:14:42 <TrueBrain> I am really suprised so many use < IE5.5 ...
00:14:44 <TrueBrain> lol
00:14:50 <Ammler> only webalizer: http://openttdcoop.org/webalizer/
00:16:07 <Ammler> we have 0 IE user
00:17:42 <Ammler> well, it could also be opera
00:17:49 <Rubidium> Ammler: really?
00:17:56 <Ammler> it fakes ie
00:18:04 <Ammler> it did it in past at least
00:18:17 <TrueBrain> not IE 5.0 ;)
00:18:18 <Rubidium> well... #8, #13 and #14 are MSIE
00:19:22 *** Progman has quit IRC
00:21:55 <TrueBrain> what browser does Sun use?
00:22:20 <Rubidium> netscape?
00:22:21 <TrueBrain> is it only me, or is the new SF website in fact evne more unclear? :p
00:22:32 <Ammler> it is
00:22:41 <TrueBrain> didn't know that was possible ... :p
00:22:51 <Ammler> 70% of the web is advertising...
00:24:04 <Rubidium> Ammler: really? Don't see much advertisement
00:25:25 <Ammler> top banner, 2 side boxes, foot banner
00:25:27 <Ammler> http://sourceforge.net/projects/openttd/
00:25:47 <Ammler> well, might be you are using ugly ad blocker
00:29:25 <Rubidium> oh, that might be it :)
00:30:04 <TrueBrain> 1000 visitors from Sun
00:30:11 <TrueBrain> I should hurry making that target available agani .. :p
00:30:27 <TrueBrain> against 2.2M Windows, and 0.4M Linux btw
00:30:36 <TrueBrain> and 0.15M OSX :)

00:34:42 <Ammler> starting IE 5.5 takes ages :-)
00:37:04 <TrueBrain> I am trying to fix the links of awstats .. impossible ..
00:37:31 * Ammler is trying with IE3 :P
00:38:08 <SmatZ> haha
00:38:25 <SmatZ> does IE<3 exist? never seen that...
00:38:30 <mcbane> internetexploder....
00:38:50 <Ammler> lol warning for cookies :-)
00:38:57 <SmatZ> I think I saw IE3 at Win95 once... but were there any older versions?
00:39:12 <Ammler> crashed :-(
00:39:16 <SmatZ> hehe
00:39:48 <Ammler> I have every old IE here...
00:40:30 <TrueBrain> let us know how the site looks ;)
00:41:10 *** KritiK has quit IRC
00:41:12 <Ammler> was that pre CSS time?
00:41:27 <Ammler> it looks like the page with CSS off
00:43:14 <TrueBrain> well, that should be pretty viewable too ;)
00:44:25 <Ammler> http://mz.openttdcoop.org/screens/openttd.org_ie3.png
00:45:24 <Ammler> nice skin of ie, btw :-)
00:46:12 <TrueBrain> yeah, it should look exactly like that :)
00:47:16 <Ammler> ie4 did also crash the 1. time
00:47:58 <Brianetta> xhtml 1.0 strict
00:48:00 <Brianetta> kudos
00:48:07 <TrueBrain> kudos?
00:48:10 <Brianetta> yes
00:48:14 <Brianetta> much
00:48:57 <TrueBrain> didn't know the word
00:48:59 <TrueBrain> wikipedia can be useful :p
00:49:04 <Brianetta> (:
00:49:23 <Ammler> ie4 won't work in my VM
00:49:41 <TrueBrain> I have IE5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 via wine, and I am happy with that ..
00:50:59 <TrueBrain> anyway, good night all
00:52:10 <TrueBrain> lol, who didn't believe me when I said it looked the same, and had to type the url in browsershots? :p

01:00:10 <Brianetta> openttd.org's CSS doesn't validate
01:00:14 <Brianetta> http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.openttd.org%2Fen%2F
01:00:56 <Boyinblue0> It would be very hard to get 100% validated code
01:02:01 <Brianetta> why's that?
01:02:08 <Brianetta> I manage on my web sites
01:02:27 <Brianetta> It's not like CSS has an ambiguous definition
01:03:17 <Boyinblue0> I find it difficult but i'm a noob when it comes to coding :P
01:05:14 <ccfreak2k> Yes, the CSS does indeed seem to be invalid.
01:05:20 <ccfreak2k> No more CSS valid badge.

01:12:16 <Ammler> echo "Hello\tWorld"
01:12:20 <Ammler> doesn't work
01:12:49 <TrueBrain> Ammler: add a real 'tab' ;)
01:12:56 <TrueBrain> Brianetta: did you check on what the validation failed? :)
01:13:09 <TrueBrain> hacks because of some STUPID browsers not supporting overflow: hidden ...
01:13:13 <TrueBrain> so it doesn't count in my book :)
01:13:35 <Ammler> http://ps.openttdcoop.org/finger
01:13:56 <TrueBrain> no .txt? :p
01:14:03 <TrueBrain> (hehe, just kidding :))
01:14:19 <TrueBrain> oh, bed, yes yes
01:14:19 <TrueBrain> night

01:14:32 *** mcbane is now known as mcbane|sleep
01:14:54 <Brianetta> TrueBrain: hacks?
01:15:04 <Brianetta> TrueBrain: If you need hacks, use HTML, not XHTML
01:16:01 <Brianetta> XHTML 1.1 is so pure that IE *can't* view a validated page.
01:16:07 <Brianetta> I love that about it.

05:55:24 <Tekky> yes, but I thought they would be all asleep now, anyway. So it seemed not worth explaining the problem if everyone is asleep :-)
05:55:56 <Tekky> Anyway, I have solved the problem in the mean time.
05:56:03 <DaleStan> Explain it anyway. Half the time, properly explaining the problem reveals the solution.

10:42:32 <UbuntuNigger> GNAA declares boycott of all foods that make sperm taste bad
10:42:33 <UbuntuNigger> Washington, District of Columbia (USNS) - Gathered on the steps of the Justice Department, gay niggers worldwide announced their most ambitious ploy for political power to date, a boycott of all foods that make semen taste awful. GNAA president timecop led the rally with a pink megaphone, shouting over the noise of riot cops assembling in case the peaceful assembly turned violent.
10:42:33 <UbuntuNigger> "My friends," he lisped at the top of his lungs. "As America's - no, the world's - foremost consumers of sperm and without a doubt its greatest enjoyers and advocates, we plead - no, we demand - that these prostate poisons be eliminated from the modern diet." Around him, a surging throng of foamy devotees showed their approval with a shower of bodily fluids.
10:42:35 <UbuntuNigger> According to timecop, numerous studies prove that gay volunteers not only found that tobacco left a lingering moldy taste in semen, but that such commonplace items as coffee and multivitamin pills could make semen taste muddy and like insecticide, respectively.

10:46:44 <SmatZ> but I am not sure how to pass number of characters to print... maybe in upper bytes of that 'int64', or use different formatting character for that?
10:50:32 <Alberth> SmatZ: 0x%8x
10:50:53 <Rubidium> Alberth: yeah... too bad that's not what we're looking for
10:51:24 <Mortal> wouldn't that be 0x%08x?
10:51:35 <Alberth> True
10:51:57 <Mortal> otherwise 8 would indicate... uhh
10:52:06 <Mortal> I don't know
10:52:27 <SmatZ> Mortal: yes, 0x%08X ... for dword ... but 0x%04X for word and 0x%02X for byte
10:53:44 <Mortal> yep, my point was that alberth was missing the padding char identifier, 0
10:53:45 <Mortal> :)
10:53:46 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
10:55:10 <Rubidium> SmatZ: but does it matter whether to draw the zeros or not?
10:55:31 <Alberth> Mortal: apparently, use 8 characters to print number (and prepend with SPACE if less needed). Very ugly indeed.
10:57:47 <SmatZ> Rubidium: maybe it can be done without leading zeros until someone reports that :)
10:58:27 <SmatZ> specs don't say whether or not to print those zeros
10:59:27 <Rubidium> exactly, so we're following the specs
10:59:45 <SmatZ> :)
10:59:53 <Mortal> yeah Alberth, the zero is the padding character... if none chosen, space is default
11:00:19 <frosch123> the uint64 dparam would have enough space to store it as string :p
11:00:40 <Rubidium> frosch123: really?
11:01:15 <Mortal> Rubidium, it's 8 bytes
11:01:20 <frosch123> except the '0x' and the terminating '\0' (when 8 chars)
11:01:37 <Rubidium> so it isn't a string that gets stored

12:35:49 <Alberth> Rubidium: The general concept is that a widget knows how to obtain its minimal size. It can either compute that in some way, or you can simply give it a size eg when you want to display only part of a string.
12:37:05 <Alberth> In the current diff, it is kind of fixed (you'd have to derive a new class to change it). In the mean time I have found a way to make it easier to change.

13:46:17 <Phantasm> Is 64 bit version for vista any faster than 32 bit version?
13:47:21 <murray> uhm
13:47:33 *** thingwath has quit IRC
13:47:56 <murray> Phantasm: you should read up on what 64bit vs 32bit actually is
13:48:15 <murray> to understand if performance will improve
13:48:53 <peter1138> More available registers can improve performance.
13:49:14 *** ecke has joined #openttd
13:49:18 <Phantasm> I know what it is. But the performance increase depends on the implementation.. On many cases 64 bit will give performance benefit over 32 bit, but if the implementation isn't properly done for 64 bit, but just a quick tweak, it might be slower than 32 bit one.
13:50:05 <Phantasm> Like the case with FFDShow Tryouts.. 64 bit version is slower than 32 bit version. So, has anyone done any benchmarks to see if there is difference?
13:50:44 <FauxFaux> Performance also depends on processor.
13:52:56 <Phantasm> I don't think there is much difference between intel and amd processors in that case.
13:53:13 <TrueBrain> as long as you don't want to compare IA64 ...
13:53:32 <Phantasm> Not like anyone uses itanium on home computers.
13:53:48 <TrueBrain> very true :) But you were generalizing Intel CPUs ;)
13:53:58 *** Swallow has joined #openttd
13:54:00 <Rubidium> yeah, for that we first have to compile zlib/libfreetype and libpng ;)
13:54:06 <Phantasm> The implementations for the AMD64 and EM64T are nearly identical, so those should go side by side on performance difference from 64.
13:54:16 <TrueBrain> Phantasm: on that I can agree :)
13:54:17 <Rubidium> and I wonder whether there's directx for IA64
13:54:58 <TrueBrain> Rubidium: GCC can produce IA64 (well, sort of)
13:55:01 <Phantasm> TrueBrain: I never generalized intel cpus. The only generalization I did was between AMD64 and EM64T.
13:55:39 <Phantasm> So, no-one has done any performance tests between 32 bit and 64 bit versions?
13:57:38 <Rubidium> oh we have :)
13:57:46 <Rubidium> just not the one you're interested in
13:57:57 <Phantasm> Hah.
13:58:13 <Rubidium> 64 bits compile is *much* slower than 32 bits
13:58:25 <Phantasm> Well, are there any stability issues with the 64 bit version?
13:58:50 <Rubidium> haven't seen any bugs yet
13:59:01 <TrueBrain> I am running 64bit linux since r100 or so, it is pretty stable :p
13:59:05 <Phantasm> Ok, so getting 64 bit version should be safe.
14:00:00 <Phantasm> I suppose I'll get the 64 bit one when Belugas gets the industry spawn fix on big maps there.
14:00:06 <Rubidium> first win64 compile I can find is of August 12th 2006
14:01:04 <SmatZ> on amd64, crypto is ~3 times faster (openssl speed)
14:01:19 <SmatZ> talking about linux of course...
14:01:35 <SmatZ> more memory consumption (+>50%)
14:01:40 <Ammler> Alberth: thanks :-)
14:01:42 <Phantasm> On linux ssh file transfer is like 10 times faster than that on windows.. ;P
14:01:56 <Phantasm> Not sure if there just aren't any good programs to do it for windows..
14:02:03 <Phantasm> (32 bit case.)
14:02:09 <SmatZ> and speed test I did showed OTTD runs faster when compiled as 32bit binary
14:02:19 <TrueBrain> I wonder if there are any good problems in general for Windows (Microsoft bashing, I love it)
14:02:20 <SmatZ> maybe because of lower memory/cache needs
14:02:40 <SmatZ> but for example, 32bit blitters run faster on 64bit machine because of more registers
14:02:44 * SmatZ is done
14:03:25 <Alberth> TrueBrain: 1 page Word documents :)
14:03:45 <frosch123> [16:03] <Phantasm> On linux ssh file transfer is like 10 times faster than that on windows.. ;P <- if you want to profile the speed of your filesystem, grf2html is a good choose
14:03:55 <frosch123> *choice
14:04:30 <Phantasm> frosch123: What does filer transfer over ssh have anything to do with filesystem speed?
14:04:51 *** FR^2 has quit IRC
14:05:21 *** Yeggstry has joined #openttd
14:05:36 <frosch123> when you copy a lot of small files, the filesystem has a strong impact on performance
14:06:17 <Phantasm> Of course, but that case is clearly the cpu usage of ssh.
14:06:22 <Phantasm> On windows it is insanely high.
14:06:49 <Phantasm> 2.5 GHz opteron can only do 3 MB/s on 32 bit windows with winscp.
14:06:59 <Phantasm> (XP)
14:07:11 <frosch123> ammler complained somewhen about grf2html being slow, while he was using nfs
14:08:46 <frosch123> Phantasm: don't know I only have 100 mb networks
14:08:50 <peter1138> hyjjjjj333432
14:09:40 <Phantasm> frosch123: 100 Mbps network can do more than 3 MB/s.
14:10:07 <Forked> winscp is slow
14:10:08 <frosch123> yeah, I guess it is a bit early in the morning :p

15:23:12 <TrueBrain> in this case the former is what is meant
15:23:20 <Sacro> i strongly dislike the usage of doesn't with any
15:23:26 <Sacro> it doesn't read right

15:25:38 <TrueBrain> and sorry if you don't like that Sacro, but one can't argue with dictonaries...
15:25:45 <Ammler> as the filename has a "trunk"
15:26:18 <Rubidium> Ammler: take a look at the php script I made for Zuu
15:26:19 <TrueBrain> Ammler: the 'trunk' part is always the last part of the 'nightlies/trunk'
15:29:42 <Ammler> Thanks, Rubidium, I do.
15:29:47 <Sacro> TrueBrain: but dictionaries alter according to common usage
15:30:05 <TrueBrain> Sacro: sure, keep on trying, maybe you find a loophole in the dictonary which says you are right
15:30:13 <Rubidium> Sacro: that is not true
15:30:14 <Sacro> TrueBrain: also, the sentance is too long
15:30:32 <Sacro> comma between us and or
15:30:40 <Sacro> didn't come from us, or got broken
15:31:14 <TrueBrain> of all the places, you want it to place there .. lol
15:31:24 <Sacro> If ANY of the checksums don't match the file you downloaded then it means it might not have come from us, or got broken during transport and might possibly contain dangerous modifications.

15:34:53 <yorick> I agree with sacro

15:35:17 <TrueBrain> only examples with 'and'
15:35:42 <Sacro> TrueBrain: because you can't say the whole sentence in one breath
15:35:45 <Sacro> it needs breaking up
15:35:51 <TrueBrain> haha, yeah, that is the rule for comma use
15:35:58 <Sacro> i'd possibly put one after transport too
15:36:03 <Sacro> as that part of the sentance can be missed
15:36:09 <TrueBrain> you can't put commas randomly in a setence, because you feel like
15:36:12 <TrueBrain> there are rules for that :)
15:36:19 <Sacro> I know the rules :p
15:36:26 <TrueBrain> clearly not :)
15:36:37 <TrueBrain> that part of the sentence for sure cannot be missed
15:36:38 <Sacro> cite me wrong
15:36:52 <Sacro> yes it can
15:37:04 <TrueBrain> okay, in your opinion, sure, but that is not what the intention of the sentence is
15:37:08 <Sacro> because you can skip over the "or got broken during transport" and the sentence still makes sense
15:37:14 <TrueBrain> both 'not from us' as 'broken during transport' are equal important
15:37:25 <TrueBrain> therefor, the right part is not a sub-sentence of the whole
15:37:31 <Sacro> yes, but is between commas and not brackets
15:37:34 <Sacro> so it can be done
15:37:37 *** Rexxars has quit IRC
15:37:38 <Sacro> without altering the meaning

15:37:50 <TrueBrain> but okay, waste of my time ..
15:39:23 <orudge> er, right, apparently I'm needed to prove somebody right
15:39:25 <orudge> what is it that needs proving?
15:39:42 <orudge> [16:18:28] <Sacro> "If ANY of the checksums doesn't match" <- don't <-- he is correct
15:39:49 <Sacro> yay :D
15:39:52 <orudge> if one of them doesn't, if any of them don't
15:39:57 <TrueBrain> orudge: then I too suggest you find a dictonary ;)
15:40:28 <orudge> what does the dictionary say?
15:40:29 <Sacro> TrueBrain: a dictionary changes according to common usage
15:40:38 <TrueBrain> [17:22] <TrueBrain> "any as a pronoun. When used as a pronoun, any can take either a singular or plural verb depending on how it is construed: Any of these books is suitable (that is, any one). But are any (that is, some) of them available?"
15:40:58 <TrueBrain> but then again, the sentence clearly shows Rubidium once in his life did some Latin :)
15:41:01 <TrueBrain> Sacro: blablablabla
15:41:03 <TrueBrain> really, that is bull
15:41:18 <orudge> well, nevertheless, it still looks wrong ;)
15:41:27 <Sacro> it feels wrong too, it grates when i read it
15:41:30 <TrueBrain> orudge: on that, I agree; but looking wrong doesn't make it wrong :)
15:41:45 <Sacro> the language would tend towards the usage that feels best
15:42:35 <TrueBrain> Sacro: if that were true, the end would be lost :)
15:43:08 *** Purno has joined #openttd
15:43:19 <Rubidium> TrueBrain: "language that doesn't feel good to Sacro does feel good to me"
15:44:00 <TrueBrain> Rubidium: you miss a comma!! :p
15:44:01 *** Rexxars has joined #openttd
15:44:03 <TrueBrain> (lol :))
15:45:06 <orudge> anyway, something different I would pick a bone about
15:45:29 <orudge> "OpenTTD is an Open Source Clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe". I seem to recall it used to be the case that we would prefer to not refer to OpenTTD as a "clone".
15:45:36 <orudge> Not quite sure what you would call it in a snappy little sentence, though
15:45:39 <TrueBrain> orudge: www.openttd.org, if you have the time :)
15:45:39 <yorick> just got a cargodest assertion
15:45:41 <orudge> an open source "version"?
15:45:45 <Sacro> and open source shouldn't be capitalised
15:45:51 *** Frostregen has joined #openttd
15:45:55 <Sacro> orudge: remake?
15:45:57 <orudge> TrueBrain: what about it? I'm looking at it just now :)
15:45:59 <orudge> remake perhaps, yes
15:46:13 <Sacro> Wikipedia calls it an "open source game engine"
15:46:19 <Sacro> but I think it's surpassed that now
15:46:27 <yorick> how do I print out a specific line for all files in a dir?
15:47:31 <planetmaker> grep, tail & head are your friend, I'd say
15:47:39 <orudge> hmm, I would also suggest, minor little things, "Learn How to Play" -> "Learn how to play"; and similar capitalisation issues, at least if this is meant to be en_GB, which according to the flag it is ;)
15:47:47 *** Sacro_ has joined #openttd
15:47:51 <Sacro_> grr
15:47:53 *** Sacro_ has left #openttd

15:48:21 <orudge> Sacro keeps breaking
15:48:30 <Sacro_> orudge: yes, router is fubar
15:48:40 <Sacro_> i think someone is bittorrenting and maxing out the connections
15:48:54 <TrueBrain> orudge: please take the 'clone' part to the other devs, if you like
15:49:01 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: smatz * r14322 /trunk/src/waypoint.cpp: -Fix (r10368): possible assert when renaming removed waypoint
15:49:32 <TrueBrain> about those capitals, don't book-titles carry capitalisation like that in en_GB?
15:49:33 <orudge> TrueBrain: if I can be bothered, I may argue it later on or something
15:49:36 <orudge> well
15:49:49 <TrueBrain> (truly wondering btw :))
15:49:52 <orudge> sometimes
15:50:02 <orudge> but Headings Like These are generally regarded as an Americanism
15:50:07 <orudge> one which may be creeping in here a bit more often
15:50:08 <TrueBrain> in naming of series and stuff I see that a lot ..
15:50:14 <Sacro_> orudge: or a german
15:50:20 <orudge> certainly, in academic settings, one will tend not to capitalise everything
15:50:24 <orudge> proper nouns would be capitalised, of course
15:50:27 <TrueBrain> hehe, fair enough :)
15:52:01 <peter1138> It Is Really Quite Annoying When Some New Person On The Forum Believes Every First Letter Should Be Capitalised Like This.
15:52:11 <peter1138> And we shouldn't do it either.
15:52:27 <TrueBrain> lol @ peter1138 :)
15:53:18 <orudge> something like http://www.owenrudge.net/various/ottd.html looks nicer to me
15:53:25 <orudge> more elegant
15:53:38 <TrueBrain> orudge: will change it :)
15:53:48 <orudge> speaking of such matters
15:53:55 <Sacro_> orudge: the top line looks too long
15:54:01 <Sacro_> can you justify it?
15:54:23 *** Sacro has quit IRC
15:54:32 <orudge> well, I thought it looked alright. Is that justification enough? ;)
15:54:35 <orudge> (yes, I know what you meant :p)
15:54:40 <orudge> not sure if justification would make it look better
15:54:44 <orudge> centering might
15:55:01 <Sacro_> i know you'd take that meaning of justification :P
15:55:25 <Sacro_> ouch
15:55:40 <Sacro_> cp readme.txt openttd.cfg && ./openttd really breaks it
15:56:07 <TrueBrain> rm -rf / && reboot really breaks
15:56:28 <TrueBrain> (please never execute the above as root)
15:56:29 <welshdragon> i like orudge's better, sorry TrueBrain
15:56:36 <SmatZ> TrueBrain: some linuxes are fool-proof against rm /
15:56:39 <yorick> planetmaker: how should head & tail help me?
15:56:41 <Sacro_> TrueBrain: it won't reboot
15:56:47 <Sacro_> as /sbin/reboot will have gone
15:56:48 <TrueBrain> welshdragon: why sorry? :)
15:56:58 <welshdragon> i know you worked hard on it
15:57:02 <orudge> & instead of && would likely work
15:57:09 <orudge> as it'd probably start reboot before it gets deleted
15:57:20 <orudge> it'd then be a race to see how much rm gets to delete while it shuts down
15:57:39 <planetmaker> yorick: depends very much upon what you mean with 'specific line'. If you always look for the last line, tail is your friend.
15:57:50 <yorick> I don't look for the last line
15:57:55 <yorick> I look for the 2008th line
15:57:58 <yorick> if there is one
15:58:00 <TrueBrain> welshdragon: so it should stay how it is? :p Hehe :)
15:58:10 <planetmaker> yorik: then use head
15:58:13 <TrueBrain> welshdragon: but tnx anyway ;) And as I said, I agree with orudge too ;)
15:58:19 <Ammler> yorick: planetmaker, up for another competition for new newgrf gui :P
15:58:26 <welshdragon> TrueBrain, it does need modifications
15:58:37 <TrueBrain> very true :)
15:58:38 <yorick> Ammler: tried that
15:58:57 <planetmaker> Ammler: sorry, no :S
15:59:21 <yorick> rgrep -n "assert" * | grep ":2008:" :)
15:59:43 <planetmaker> yorick: cat 'file' | head --lines=2008 | tail --lines=1
16:01:27 <ln> am i seeing useless use of cat
16:01:36 <planetmaker> ln: yes :P
16:01:58 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: smatz * r14323 /trunk/src/station_cmd.cpp: -Fix (r14064): forgot a return...
16:02:01 <planetmaker> but you might want to replace cat by some command of your choice.
16:02:59 *** Clinton has joined #openttd
16:03:27 <yorick> planetmaker: heh
16:03:31 <Clinton> when do stations start losing cargo due to lack of service?
16:03:32 <yorick> that is not going to work
16:03:41 <yorick> cat-ing all...
16:03:47 <yorick> and it is a useless cat :)
16:07:38 <Sacro_> peter1138: what happened to /o/ ?
16:08:40 <yorick> hum, strange
16:09:07 <yorick> assert in DoClearTownHouseHelper
16:09:18 <yorick> most likely because I built a station in the middle of a town
16:11:09 <yorick> I got a reproducing save, but it's made with a cargodest updated to current trunk and patched with improved breakdowns
16:11:26 <yorick> none of them should call the DoClearTownHouseHelper
16:12:24 <planetmaker> yorick: then load it in an unmodified trunk version. None of them should modify the savegame structure AFAIK
16:12:45 <yorick> improved breakdowns adds a patch setting
16:13:08 <yorick> and cargodest does modify the savegame structure AFAIK
16:13:22 <planetmaker> last time I checked the latter wasn't true
16:13:35 <yorick> then how does it store cargo destinations
16:13:41 <planetmaker> it doesn't.
16:13:46 <yorick> and patch settings to select if cargo has destinations?
16:14:34 <planetmaker> dunno. Maybe it changed. I only remember Celestar saying that it doesn't save in the savegame.
16:14:50 <yorick> the destinations, maybe
16:14:54 <yorick> but it does save patches
16:15:05 *** KritiK has quit IRC
16:15:19 <planetmaker> bad luck for you then :)
16:15:26 <planetmaker> Reproduce your error in trunk.
16:18:09 <yorick> I first need to get it to load without assert
16:18:23 * yorick replaces assert by return
16:21:42 <Brianetta> [16:20] <TrueBrain> Sacro: 'any of the checksums' is singular, so it should be: doesn't
16:21:45 <Brianetta> TrueBrain: That's plural
16:22:17 <TrueBrain> Brianetta: and for you too, oh boy, I hate repeating myself: get a dictonary
16:22:43 <Brianetta> TrueBrain: I have several.
16:22:52 <Brianetta> Which would you have me consult?
16:22:59 <TrueBrain> any
16:23:25 <TrueBrain> [17:40] <TrueBrain> [17:22] <TrueBrain> "any as a pronoun. When used as a pronoun, any can take either a singular or plural verb depending on how it is construed: Any of these books is suitable (that is, any one). But are any (that is, some) of them available?"
16:23:38 <Brianetta> It's still plural.
16:23:39 <Brianetta> http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv303.shtml
16:23:58 <TrueBrain> with a singular verb
16:24:54 <TrueBrain> that talks about the nouns .. that we agree on is plural (hence, the 'checksum_s_')
16:26:48 <yorick> why would one use a singular verb with a plural noun?
16:26:51 <Brianetta> match is plural
16:26:55 <Brianetta> maches is singular
16:26:58 <Brianetta> it matches
16:27:00 <Brianetta> they match
16:27:00 <TrueBrain> yorick: it happens in more situations
16:27:05 <yorick> does it?
16:27:15 <TrueBrain> yorick: yup :) Languages are such funny things .. even in Dutch you have it
16:27:24 <yorick> example?
16:27:28 <TrueBrain> 'men'
16:27:35 <TrueBrain> to name one very widely known :)
16:27:48 <yorick> that is a singular noun...
16:28:05 <TrueBrain> ah, like that, yes, you are right
16:29:15 *** Yeggstry has quit IRC
16:29:47 <frosch123> google: 7.940.000 for "do any of these", 604.000 for "does any of these". So does anyone want to check them semantically?
16:29:48 *** Sacro_ is now known as Sacro
16:30:17 <Sacro> frosch123: "do any of these" is a question
16:30:35 <Sacro> "does any of these" is a horrible bit of language
16:30:41 <frosch123> yeah, but does that change the simular/plural issue?
16:30:51 <yorick> frosch123: yes
16:30:57 <Sacro> i mean "does any of these downloads have viris"
16:31:11 <Sacro> Does any of these brand names for memory cards sound familiar to you?
16:31:17 <Sacro> hmm, that's allowable
16:31:30 <Sacro> well, that's just my accent, i wouldn't say it was proper English
16:31:32 <TrueBrain> Sacro: that in fact is correct ;)
16:31:43 <TrueBrain> well, according to the dictonary that is :p
16:31:44 <Brianetta> Sacro: Barely; "do" is better
16:31:58 *** Yeggstry has joined #openttd
16:32:03 <Brianetta> TrueBrain: Put the dictionary away and get a grammar guid
16:32:05 <yorick> I'd say it's "do"
16:32:10 <Sacro> Brianetta: yes, this is the grammer arguement
16:32:17 <welshdragon> i say do too
16:32:35 <welshdragon> Sacro, *GRAMMAR
16:32:45 <Sacro> TrueBrain: just cos the dictionary says it is correct doesn't mean it is proper
16:32:58 <welshdragon> grammer is the dyslexic way of saying things
16:33:00 <TrueBrain> Brianetta: my dictonary is so nice to include a big grammar part :)
16:33:16 <TrueBrain> Sacro: my dict says it is correct english, it indeed doesn't say a thing what is commonly used
16:33:48 <Sacro> TrueBrain: you should just ask people who speak English on a daily basis
16:33:52 <Sacro> and who grew up with it :
16:33:54 <Sacro> p
16:34:06 <Brianetta> Or those who took an English qualification
16:34:12 <TrueBrain> Sacro: so you think websites should contain the english that is spoken? Cool ...
16:34:18 <welshdragon> Sacro, true english is correct, it just varies
16:34:22 <Sacro> TrueBrain: English as she is spoken!
16:34:58 <welshdragon> Brianetta, agreed, i have a GCSE grade B in Engkish, coukdn't be arsed to do an A Level in it
16:34:59 * Brianetta recommends these:
16:34:59 <Brianetta> http://www.oup.com/elt/global/products/olg/
16:35:04 <welshdragon> *english
16:35:18 <TrueBrain> still, it amazes me that you all argue with what all dictonaries say .. so you guys really claim to know English better than a dictonary .. or better: the grammar part of a dictonary ..
16:35:24 <Rubidium> Saclo: yes, Inglish as it ish spoken by many people in fal awai countlies
16:35:42 <welshdragon> Rubidium, haha
16:35:59 <TrueBrain> I myself don't always agree with a Dutch dictonary says how things should be used ... nevertheless, in an official document, I have no choice but the follow what it says
16:36:49 <welshdragon> Sacro, be grateful it wasn't written in lolspeak or textspeak, and that at least 90% of the website is gramatically correct
16:37:12 <Sacro> welshdragon: *English
16:37:31 <Sacro> TrueBrain: we write the dictionaries
16:37:41 <TrueBrain> sure, in your world you do
16:38:11 <peter1138> There is also American versus English grammar.
16:38:27 <Rubidium> TrueBrain: he's right, that's why there is NO official English (but a lot of "dialects") and there is an official Dutch
16:38:29 <yorick> there is also dutch versus English grammar

16:40:52 <Rubidium> TrueBrain, as in: In the NL/BE the correct spelling is governed by some government committee, whereas the English dictionaries! are trying to keep as "close" as possible to what is used. So if enough people start writing English in 1337 that'll become the English of the dictionaries.

17:00:13 <orudge> an e-mail from Darkvater
17:00:15 <orudge> how interesting
17:00:36 <TrueBrain> and does he have anything interesting to say? :p
17:00:41 <orudge> one moment
17:00:48 <orudge> let me download what he linked to and see if it is interesting :p
17:01:00 <TrueBrain> A VIRUS!
17:01:24 <orudge> hopefully not ;)
17:01:25 <ln> "please have a look at this interesting exe file"
17:02:53 <planetmaker> ln: :P in my on re-boot always clean virtual box it wouldn't do much harm unless it knows how to break out of vmware :)
17:04:05 <orudge> TrueBrain (and anyone else interested): http://www.tt-forums.net/openttd/openttd_visualised.avi
17:04:08 <orudge> is what he sent me
17:04:22 <orudge> not finished watching it yet, but it seems interested enough
17:04:37 <Rubidium> ah, he did actually succeed in fixing the tool to properly parse our updated repository :)
17:05:06 <Brianetta> interested?
17:05:15 <TrueBrain> I like the background sound ;)
17:06:06 <TrueBrain> very cool :)

17:07:55 <orudge> hmm, newhouses was September 2006
17:07:56 <orudge> seems ages away
17:07:59 <orudge> *ago
17:08:13 <TrueBrain> for me the reverse .. I was suprised newmap was SO long ago ..
17:08:23 <orudge> quite
17:08:53 <peter1138> orudge, it was in a branch for a long time, I think.
17:09:30 <TrueBrain> orudge: very cool :)
17:09:37 <orudge> indeed
17:09:57 <Zuu> TrueBrain: The changes.log file seam to not be included in nightly releases anymore (r14300 is the last version mentioned in the changes.log I got from 12:th september)
17:10:30 <Zuu> I've downloaded r14316 win32 .zip to confirm that the file changes.log is no more included.
17:10:33 <TrueBrain> Zuu: it indeed is no longer in the compressed archives, if that is what you mean
17:10:46 <Zuu> Yes that is what I mean.
17:11:04 <TrueBrain> that is because we completely switched to 'make bundle', which does not include the file
17:11:13 <TrueBrain> was it useful, to have that file included?
17:11:13 <Zuu> My tool use that file to display the changes form last update.
17:12:00 <TrueBrain> it is on the web
17:12:06 <TrueBrain> in the dir of the files, /changelog.txt
17:12:14 <TrueBrain> Rubidium: should it be included in the packages?
17:14:32 <TrueBrain> @op
17:14:32 *** DorpsGek sets mode: +o TrueBrain

17:14:53 <TrueBrain> @deop
17:14:53 *** DorpsGek sets mode: -o TrueBrain
17:15:25 <Rubidium> adding changes.log (as we already have a changelog.txt) seems to make stuff more inconsistent
17:15:47 <Zuu> but changelog.txt is for last stable.
17:15:53 <Rubidium> fetching the correct changelog.txt from the server should be fairly easy
17:16:03 <Yeggstry> apologies in advance TrueBrain, I have to reboot again :P
17:16:11 <TrueBrain> Yeggstry: you are forgiven ;)
17:16:16 <Yeggstry> :P
17:16:18 *** Yeggstry has quit IRC
17:16:59 <Zuu> Fetching the changelog.txt from the server means that I need to change my client/server protocol and also make a new client release for 2.0.
17:17:30 <Zuu> Just puting out a new client takes 1-2 hours.
17:18:03 <Rubidium> but it'll make the releases and nightlies/whatever work *exactly* the same
17:18:13 <Rubidium> thus less code, less maintainance, etc.
17:18:40 <Zuu> You are talking from your point of view are you?
17:18:51 <Rubidium> also from your POV
17:19:10 *** Yeggstry has joined #openttd
17:19:15 <TrueBrain> wb Yeggstry
17:19:25 <Zuu> All nightlies/whatever included changes.txt before, didn't they?
17:19:34 <Zuu> changes.log*
17:19:41 <Yeggstry> ty :)
17:19:50 <Rubidium> only nightlies and IIRC not all of them
17:20:01 <Zuu> noai had it.
17:20:02 <Rubidium> so custom compiles/releases didn't contain them
17:20:37 <TrueBrain> Zuu: changes.log was added manual by me, for certain packages only
17:20:51 <TrueBrain> was more something that wasn't removed a long time ago ;)
17:21:26 <Zuu> Okay
17:21:32 <TrueBrain> ('manual' as in: I bypassed the default system .. I bypasses even 'make bundle' ;))
17:22:46 <Zuu> I hope you understand that at the moment I don't like it as it puts quite lot of work for me...
17:22:47 *** Sacro has joined #openttd
17:23:10 <Zuu> But yea I understand it's not my decision...
17:23:49 <TrueBrain> more a problem that I have no clue how to insert changes.log in the current situation :)
17:23:50 <Rubidium> nobody likes it when they need to change they progs when someone changed something
17:23:54 <TrueBrain> (well, without hacking it again :p)
17:24:14 <TrueBrain> Zuu: on the positive side, that shouldn't happen again, as now we follow the 'official' way ;)
17:24:28 <Rubidium> however... now everything (that includes releases and custom builds) are done in exactly the same way instead of 3 different ways
17:24:30 <Zuu> As long as the official way remains the same ;)
17:25:19 <Rubidium> which means that supporting releases/custom builds/nightlies needs much less code (thus less maintainance)
17:25:33 <Rubidium> though you have a little more work at the beginning

17:28:34 *** Kasceh has joined #openttd
17:28:40 <Kasceh> Is it possible to remove a company?
17:28:44 <Kasceh> with a command
17:29:04 <Zuu> My server part was built up around the old system where you get the version, a string, and then you using this string can compare it to the string the client send and generate download URL from it, without having the result from the rev-file/finger, now things have changed so at the moment it need to make two requests to finger which is not good, as the round trip time adds to the computation time. With the old structure, addi
17:29:04 <Zuu> ng a function to get the changes.log URL means one more round trip time. So you see, I really need to choose an whole different approach which I know will take time...
17:29:45 <Zuu> A hack to solve it would be to change GetFile to cache the result to disk, which might be good to improve the preformance anyway.
17:29:52 <Kasceh> Lol thanks for wiping out my question...
17:29:54 <Kasceh> Is it possible to remove a company?
17:29:56 <Kasceh> with a command
17:30:15 <TrueBrain> Zuu: the script Rubidium created for you, does the caching .. well, sort of :)
17:30:27 <TrueBrain> but even the website caches the file for 5 minutes, to avoid unneeded calls
17:30:44 <Ammler> Kasceh: wiki.openttd.org (reset_company)
17:31:23 <Zuu> TrueBrain: Yes, but when added to my structure I call that function and extract only one field an return it and discard the other part. (and I have two functions that takes each part from it) And this is because how the structure is, which worked fine with rev-files but not with finger.
17:31:24 *** Zahl_ has joined #openttd
17:33:42 <Zuu> TrueBrain: By the way call_user_func("", ... ) how bad is it to use? I assume it might be slow but is it /kick slow or just a little slower than function pointers?

17:37:21 <Zuu> TrueBrain: In Php yes. Cool, though it was a deadly sin to use it.
17:38:03 <TrueBrain> I am not a PHP guru, but I used it a lot in my time ... never had any problems with it :p

17:38:46 <Brianetta> PHP is an ugly, ugly language
17:39:09 <Eddi|zuHause> true.
17:39:20 <murray> BUT it has its advantages
17:39:32 <TrueBrain> one of the reasons the new website is not in PHP ;)
17:39:35 <Rubidium> PHP has it's uses, but quite some uses of PHP are well... insane
17:39:43 <Zuu> Ok, I used it heavily because I wanted to have one place where I define the targets, which methods to use, and not have to change in switch-case structures all over the place. But I now realize how that could be done with switch-case instead of call_user_func.
17:39:52 <murray> that's because it's easy to misuse for people with no clue
17:40:06 <murray> however, compare it to asp.net, and you'll love php ;)
17:40:14 *** Eddi|zuHause has quit IRC

17:41:11 <TrueBrain> Rubidium: lol
17:41:39 <TrueBrain> hylje: well, that argument holds now, but when PHP was created, CGI was the same .. still PHP won :) So there is more to it then just that ;)

17:43:41 <Kasceh> If a train slows down alot when it gets to a hill, is that a setting or is that just a horsepower issue?
17:43:48 <hylje> thing is PHP is a template language that embeds application logic
17:43:55 <orudge> You could run Perl as an language in ASP, though
17:44:01 <hylje> the other CGI stuff at the time was applications embedding templates
17:44:02 <orudge> as well as the likes of VBScript and JavaScript
17:44:02 *** yorick has quit IRC
17:44:22 <TrueBrain> hylje: true
17:44:48 <TrueBrain> but I think PHP has gained so much momentum, because it is so easy to use, in so many way .. not minding the speed of anything, it just does what you tell it to
17:44:49 <TrueBrain> most of the time :p
17:45:10 <Kasceh> hello? :<
17:45:11 <TrueBrain> neverthelss, it is a crappy language that should be removed from the wegb :p
17:45:21 <orudge> indeed, for all its faults, PHP can be a very useful language, very quick and easy to use, and extremely powerful
17:45:26 <orudge> sure, other languages can do the same
17:45:28 <orudge> and perhaps better
17:45:31 <hylje> Kasceh: old acceleration works that way
17:45:36 <hylje> Kasceh: you may want to use realistic
17:45:41 <Kasceh> Okie
17:45:42 <Kasceh> Thanks :p
17:45:51 <TrueBrain> it is just a few months that I use python or bash over PHP to do quick scripts :p
17:46:02 <Eddi|zuHause> where "realistic" is still a misnomer :p
17:46:15 <SpComb> hmm, SVN
17:46:21 * orudge has done some relatively wicked things with PHP in the new Repository
17:46:24 <orudge> which I still need to finish, hmm
17:46:43 <TrueBrain> orudge: how is winecfg going?
17:46:50 <orudge> well, Summer of Code has finished
17:46:55 <orudge> the project as a whole went quite well
17:47:00 <orudge> I have a few more patches to submit
17:47:03 <orudge> but was distracted by an exam
17:47:06 <orudge> (which was since been and gone)
17:47:13 <orudge> however, tomorrow we start preparing everything for freshers week next week in the union
17:47:17 <orudge> so it will be rather busy :)
17:47:22 <TrueBrain> hehe
17:47:26 <TrueBrain> but you got your stuff done, or?
17:47:33 <orudge> yes, I got everything I set out to do done
17:47:39 <orudge> and a few other bits and bobs, too
17:47:47 <TrueBrain> cool :) Concratz :)
17:47:55 <orudge> I would still like to go back and tweak winecfg some more though (for the most part, I was creating new stuff, rather than changing the existing stuff)
17:48:00 <orudge> but now it has to compete with uni for time

18:19:29 <nicfer> would be useful a second nightly, which would act like the MiniIN and other community-maintained patch packs?
18:20:14 <Noldo> What good would it do? Who would maintain it?
18:21:38 <yorick> those nightlies are called "trunk"
18:24:36 *** KritiK has joined #openttd
18:24:39 <Eddi|zuHause> nicfer: the miniin was compiled like nightlies, but i don't see anyone around who would keep up the work needed
18:25:07 <nicfer> yorick: except that trunk doesn't allow unfinished patches
18:25:43 <Eddi|zuHause> nicfer: which has a reason
18:25:54 <hylje> with hg/git support trunk is only symbolic
18:26:17 <nicfer> and that special nightly would be maintained by everyone that wants to contribute
18:26:40 <Eddi|zuHause> nicfer: the last time an unfinished patch was accepted into trunk was a big catastrophe!
18:27:15 <Eddi|zuHause> (that was PBS)
18:27:16 <nicfer> that's what the MiniIN was for
18:27:26 <nicfer> testing of unfinished patches
18:27:33 <Noldo> nicfer: that's not maintenance, that's just mess
18:27:34 <Eddi|zuHause> no, the miniin was never ever a testing ground for patches
18:28:13 <eekee> anyone can make their own *IN, can't they?
18:28:23 <Noldo> eekee: sure
18:28:34 <Eddi|zuHause> there are like 5 of those in the forum
18:28:44 <nicfer> the trouble with *INs is that they get lost very quickly
18:29:14 <nicfer> like the MiniIN
18:29:15 <Rubidium> nicfer: and you expect that an *IN being compiled doesn't go down the same path?
18:29:20 <Eddi|zuHause> that is not going to be changed just because they have a branch in the svn
18:29:36 <eekee> well so long as it lasts long enough for development of that one patch
18:30:13 <Rubidium> problem is that those multi-patch packs make it almost impossible to really test a single patch because of the integration issues between the patches
18:30:23 <nicfer> why not instead do one that can be mantained by more than one person
18:30:51 <nicfer> so if that one person gets busy by real life, other can pick up it and continue it on
18:30:54 <Rubidium> and fixes for patches get all lost in the big bad patch
18:30:59 <Rubidium> nicfer: done that, failed at that
18:31:05 <Rubidium> e.g. MiniIN
18:31:05 <Eddi|zuHause> nicfer: because they wouldn't
18:31:45 <Eddi|zuHause> nicfer: patch authors would stop improving their patch as soon as it gets in the supposedly "official" "testing" build
18:32:24 <Eddi|zuHause> which means a certain death for both the patch and the build
18:32:58 <Eddi|zuHause> the patch will never be finished, and the build will become unmaintainable

20:17:33 <Rubidium> what does nforenum think of that file?
20:17:41 <reven> ill try again
20:19:24 <Rubidium> it doesn't look valid to me (and I haven't even coded a action 0 containing newgrf)

20:22:47 <Rubidium> http://users.tt-forums.net/dalestan/nforenum/
20:24:13 <yorick> reven: the 78 should be somewhere like http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Action0Houses#Building_availability_mask_13_
20:25:09 <reven> well the string is supposed to say: <Action 0> <houses> <one change per house> <39 houses to be changed> <GRFID 00> <property (13); Availability mask. (Which zone the houses are built in)> ....but then the rest does not make any sense to me
20:25:44 <yorick> the 78 is the mask
20:25:58 <reven> whats a mask?
20:26:13 *** mikl has quit IRC
20:26:13 <reven> 03 is the zone i suppose
20:28:07 <yorick> 120 in binary
20:28:47 <yorick> meh, no
20:28:49 <yorick> dunno
20:28:55 <Rubidium> a mask of 7803 is invalid
20:29:08 <Rubidium> and the repetive 78s seem invalid to me too

20:31:12 <reven> weird
20:31:21 <reven> what a piece of shit grf
20:31:31 <reven> it works though
20:31:39 <reven> its the NACity renewer
20:31:54 <yorick> you decoded it?
20:32:09 <yorick> nfo with comments usually works better
20:33:07 <reven> i decoded it yes
20:33:21 <reven> i didnt write anything htough
20:33:26 <reven> yet
20:33:31 * yorick thinks about the possibilities of open-source grfs
20:33:49 <reven> wouldnt hurt
20:34:27 <Rubidium> but there are already open source newgrfs
20:34:38 * yorick thinks about "NoGRFS"

20:37:43 <yorick> printscreen + OCR maybe ? :-p
20:38:20 <peter1138> "coding by OzTransLtd" heh
20:38:22 <reven> doubt that
20:42:31 <peter1138> Rubidium, apart from the 78s, what's invalid?
20:43:00 <peter1138> In fact, including the 78s, what's invalid?
20:43:33 <Tim> Lol, that video is sick :D
20:46:59 <yorick> peter1138: including the 78s, for a start the 78s are invalid, I don't know about the others, for what I can read, the 03s too
20:47:07 *** yorick has quit IRC
20:47:28 <peter1138> ...
20:47:34 <peter1138> The 78s are perfectly valid.
20:48:28 <Rubidium> then I'm probably not understanding it properly
20:49:14 <Rubidium> isn't it property value property value?
20:49:36 <peter1138> Action 0, Feature 7, 1 property, 0x27 houses, starting at 0. Property 13 -- list of 0x27 words for property 13
20:51:07 <Rubidium> then it's still setting a lot of bits that aren't used
20:51:12 <peter1138> It's property value * num-ids property value * num-ids
20:51:38 <peter1138> Those bits are used.
20:52:10 <peter1138> Bits 0 to 4 and 11 to 15 all have meaning.
20:52:35 <Rubidium> yeah, but the set bits 8-10 aren't used
20:53:00 <peter1138> And they're not set, either.
20:53:10 <Rubidium> what's the 78 then?
20:53:13 <reven> youre certain its not 39 properties, 27 in hex?
20:54:00 <peter1138> 7800 is bits 11 to 14.
20:54:18 <reven> oh right
20:54:21 <peter1138> reven: 0x27 == 39
20:54:32 <reven> ah, ok tx peter
20:54:40 <Rubidium> hmm... why does endianness always make my brain fail?
20:54:50 <reven> lol
20:54:54 <Rubidium> and WHY doesn't it work on nibbles!
20:55:57 <reven> so its the climate availability the code is about not zone availability
20:56:00 * Rubidium ponders silently ignoring further newgrf questions
20:56:02 <reven> i was afraid of that
20:56:02 <Sacro> Except mice and shrews
20:56:09 <Sacro> and David Cowels.
20:56:13 * TrueBrain gives Rubidium a true brain
20:56:13 <TrueBrain> hehe
20:56:14 <reven> bits 11-14 is climate
20:56:24 <reven> artic and subartic i think
20:56:29 <reven> something like that
20:58:23 *** welshdragon has joined #openttd
20:58:30 <peter1138> reven:, it's both.
20:58:57 <peter1138> Lower 8 bits are town zone, upper 8 are climate.
20:59:52 <reven> Is this gonna work? <spritenum> * <length> 00 07 01 27 00 13 <value1> <Value2> <Value3>....<Value 39>
21:00:07 <reven> peter: oh right
21:00:32 <reven> so the value is in 2 bytes then?
21:00:47 <reven> thats why theres so many f.. bytes in that string
21:02:29 <reven> theres more btw i didnt show the whole string
21:03:38 <peter1138> I prefer the word line to string.

22:25:17 <reven> but my encoding wizard says it cant find the nfo and pcx files. what gives?
22:25:26 <reven> theyre there
22:25:40 <reven> do i have to write a path somewhere?
22:29:20 *** Sacro has joined #openttd
22:29:35 <reven> any grf coders here?
22:30:16 <reven> When encoding, they will be available only if they are already decoded, and if the decoded NFO file(s) are located under a SPRITES subfolder under the main TTD folder. However you can add one GRF file from any folder as long as you also specify the location of its PCX and NFO files manually using the buttons for that purpose.
22:30:26 <reven> what does this mean?
22:31:09 <reven> whats a "a SPRITES subfolder under the main TTD folder. " ???
22:31:28 <Ammler> those tools seems outdated, just use grfcodec and nforenum
22:31:57 <reven> thas the tool i used
22:32:08 <reven> its a wizard thats based on grfcodec
22:32:10 <Ammler> I read something about wizard.
22:32:13 <reven> i was told
22:32:20 <reven> yeah?
22:32:24 <reven> is it no good?
22:32:44 <reven> whats a sprites subfolder in the main ttd folder?
22:32:50 <reven> any idea?
22:33:11 <Ammler> if you have a example.grf and decode it
22:33:37 <Ammler> the files will be in ./sprites/ as example.nfo and example.pcx
22:33:59 <Ammler> then you can just encode the grf again and it takes those 2 files.
22:35:31 <reven> im trying to make a ronny.grf file. both the ronny.nfo file and ronny.pcx file is located in the same folder ...openttd/data/ronny.grf/nfo/pcx

22:36:06 <reven> oh wait
