02:51:07 *** ecke was kicked by Belugas (dunno, but a whale did not liked that)
02:52:36 <Belugas> ecke, next time you do something as stupid as that, it will be a ban
02:53:42 <Sacro> that kind of stupidity is reserved for me
02:54:35 <Rubidium> and... that looks like quite a stable connection for Hungaria
02:58:51 <Belugas> you sound a bit surprised ;)
03:00:47 <Rubidium> surprised? nah, such stable connections from hungary happen sometimes
03:14:28 <orudge> [22:55:44] <Ammler> max of attachments is 3MB <-- no, tis 4MB
03:15:08 <Belugas> not enough memory on card

10:13:37 <Gekz> TrueBrain: why are you happy
10:14:33 <Gekz> it's far too vast to read it all
10:14:54 <TrueBrain> so I suggested limiting yourself
10:14:55 <Gekz> and by the time I had finished, it will have been rewritten
10:15:46 <Gekz> TrueBrain: you just made the internet shit bricks
10:17:18 <TrueBrain> My ignore list is getting so big lately ..
10:18:17 <Gekz> I make valid points, and agree with your awesome compilation triumph
10:19:03 <Gekz> you have inspired me to install MacOS X on this non-Apple hardware this weekend
10:19:48 <SpComb> Steve Jobs will personally attend to the fact that you go to hell
10:20:00 <Gekz> Australian law doesnt allow software to be binded to a specific hardware
10:20:12 <Gekz> it doesnt even recognise software as anything
10:20:14 <TrueBrain> Gekz: I don't have a dvdrom (or any other medium that can read those round objects), so I can't :(
10:20:17 <Gekz> and a pirate as someone who makes others walk a plank
10:20:18 <SpComb> and Apple still sells software in AU? :P
10:20:33 <Gekz> TrueBrain: you can turn DVD isos into USB bootable disks
10:20:48 <Gekz> SpComb: they just openned many more shops
10:20:50 <TrueBrain> Gekz: but I don't think 4.9 GB fits on a 1 GB stick
10:20:58 <TrueBrain> but ... I doubt it can be done
10:21:09 <Gekz> SpComb: its really hard to put MacOS X on other systems
10:21:16 <Gekz> TrueBrain: dont be a fool -_-!
10:21:33 <Gekz> the clear alternative is to purchase an absurdly priced 16Gb usb stick
10:21:34 <TrueBrain> Gekz: it is REALLY simple to put Mac OS X on an other system ..
10:21:40 <TrueBrain> OSX86 to the rescue!!!!!
10:21:49 <Gekz> the drivers are in lacking.
10:22:00 <Gekz> and your processor has to be friendly
10:22:00 <TrueBrain> you just need a realtek or AMD network card
10:22:21 <TrueBrain> your CPU .. well .. everything that has dual core is fine
10:22:33 <TrueBrain> non dual cores can be a problem
10:22:34 <SpComb> Apple sells hardware with AMD?
10:22:39 <TrueBrain> you need at least SS2
10:22:57 <TrueBrain> OSX86 has a nice patch for it
10:23:05 <Gekz> flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr
10:23:24 <TrueBrain> same as for the ATA drivers
10:24:01 <Gekz> I don't like MacOS X that much
10:24:05 <TrueBrain> Gekz: I mistyped :p I meant to say: and get the PPF1 iso
10:24:10 <Gekz> it wants me to everything "the MAC way"
10:24:14 <Gekz> I want to do it the fastest way
10:24:43 <Gekz> I dont find being mouseless efficient
10:25:04 <Gekz> but most of the crap I use is console
10:25:32 * SpComb uses firefox3, thunderbird, irssi/bitlbee
10:25:35 *** dih is now known as dihedral
10:25:52 <SpComb> not as ugly as gnome-terminal or konsole, though
10:25:55 <Gekz> I use geany for my text editing
10:26:14 <Gekz> I want my OS to be semi-merged with the internet I've decided
10:28:29 <TrueBrain> I simply use KDevelop, NX, Konversation ..
10:28:49 <Gekz> KDevelop sucks to be honest
10:28:59 <Gekz> yet I want everything to be done quickly and prettily
10:29:02 <TrueBrain> in your opinion it sucks, that is possible
10:29:04 <Gekz> I have to start programming my own stuff
10:29:08 <TrueBrain> but it doesn't mean the application itself sucks :)
10:29:15 <TrueBrain> it utilizes my time much more
10:29:34 <TrueBrain> (I can't remember names, and not plan to, so using any CLI application means I need to remember .... I want to clikc! CLICK!!)
10:29:47 <Gekz> i'm getting out a pen and paper
10:29:54 <Gekz> its more efficient than anythign I have right now
10:30:11 <TrueBrain> last time I tried it, the professor returned it with the question what the fuck I was trying to write
10:30:36 <TrueBrain> what does the language matter for my writing?
10:30:56 <TrueBrain> what ever Latin language, okay? :p
10:31:16 <TrueBrain> it really doesn't matter which one, my handwriting sucks
10:31:26 *** dihedral is now known as dihe
10:31:37 <TrueBrain> Dih: keep on trying :p
10:31:43 <TrueBrain> Gekz: je ne parle pas Francais
10:33:00 <TrueBrain> caan we put that down under Latin language?
10:33:15 <dih> TrueBrain: i just wrote a little tcl script that has different output per date and nick
10:33:20 <TrueBrain> what were you trying to guess?
10:33:27 <Gekz> the language you were writing in
10:33:33 <Gekz> when you were told your handwriting was bad
10:33:48 <Gekz> and I know that Czech is not a latin language
10:33:49 <TrueBrain> Gekz: I really wonder from which planet you are from ..
10:34:08 <TrueBrain> it is not the language, it is the alphabet you nitwit
10:34:19 <Gekz> the language matters too
10:34:27 <Gekz> when r is a vowel, everything gets ugly
10:34:51 <TrueBrain> I rethink that ignore idea of mine .. :p :p
10:35:55 <Gekz> TrueBrain: well just answer me this, what languages do you speak?
10:36:27 *** penfold has joined #openttd
10:36:41 <TrueBrain> well, not that other people speaking that language can always understand me
10:36:51 <TrueBrain> but I would like to think I speak those languages as well
10:36:57 <Gekz> danish/swedish/norwegian?
10:37:08 <TrueBrain> once was in Israel, and I went like: gabbelgabbelgabbel
10:37:11 <TrueBrain> they arrested me :(
10:37:22 <TrueBrain> I Thought that was their language, and I was asking for a cup of tea!
10:37:30 <TrueBrain> I didn't know it was insulting :(
10:37:31 <Gekz> I dont speak Hebrew, nor Yiddish
10:37:45 <TrueBrain> neither do I my friend, neither do I :)
10:37:57 <TrueBrain> never been in Israel, to be perfectly clear on the joke
10:38:02 <Gekz> I speak English, French, bad German and a bit of Chinese Mandarin
10:38:05 <TrueBrain> (as of course people don't understand, and think I am serious)
10:38:39 <TrueBrain> that is thinking like I have a muffin which can talk
10:38:54 <TrueBrain> it can walk btw, by now
10:39:26 <Gekz> I think you are mildly insane, just like me
10:39:30 <Gekz> and this is why you want to ignore me
10:39:38 <Gekz> because the belief that you have met your match is too much to grasp
10:42:49 <TrueBrain> btw, if you are really interested in the languages I speak, you should just check the wiki page, and you will have a very good idea about that
10:48:06 <TrueBrain> and all the other languages you learn as a dutch person
10:48:27 <Gekz> learn doesnt mean you become fluent
10:48:42 <TrueBrain> never will, not even in englis
10:48:47 <TrueBrain> no intension to that what so ever
10:49:11 <TrueBrain> as long as they can understand me
10:51:01 <TrueBrain> your vocabulary is also so big ..
10:51:07 <TrueBrain> 'lol', 'haha', ':P'
10:51:23 <Gekz> I speak English fluently. It may be as broad as I want.
10:51:35 <Gekz> you're the one on trial with every word :P
10:52:50 <TrueBrain> you avoid it by using REALLY short words a lot ;)
10:52:52 <TrueBrain> also a way of course
10:53:20 <Gekz> English doesn't really have that many long words
10:53:25 <Gekz> like most crazy ass germanic languages
10:54:44 <Gekz> penis is in french and german
10:55:07 <TrueBrain> penis is kind of english
10:55:58 <Gekz> 1676, perhaps from Fr. pénis or directly from L. penis "penis," earlier "tail" (cf. Eng. tail in both senses, the sexual one slang), from PIE *pes-/*pesos- "penis" (cf. Skt. pasas-, Gk. peos, posthe "penis," probably also O.E. fæsl "progeny, offspring," O.N. fösull, Ger. Fasel "young of animals, brood"). The proper plural is penes. The adj. is penial. In psychological writing, penis envy is attested from 1924.
10:56:00 <TrueBrain> 4 languages :p (last is Dutch)
10:56:53 <TrueBrain> like those wanne be rappers
10:57:02 <Doorslammer> Ha ha haa, Freudian!
10:57:07 <TrueBrain> or in this case: 'het'
10:57:26 <Gekz> didnt Dutch kill genders
10:57:58 <Gekz> so now there's only neuter and ?
10:58:13 <TrueBrain> much easier, I can tell you
10:58:26 <Gekz> German still has all three genders
10:58:34 <Gekz> French, with two genders, so easy
10:58:45 <TrueBrain> well, French has '3' too .. 'les'
10:59:00 <TrueBrain> that is why I used '3'
10:59:01 <Gekz> german has die as a plural
10:59:07 <TrueBrain> Dutch in plural is always 'de'
10:59:14 <Gekz> their case system makes it worse
10:59:23 <TrueBrain> try learning old Greek :)
10:59:46 <TrueBrain> old-Greek on the other hand .. omg ..
11:00:03 <Gekz> and then that right to left to right thing happened
11:00:15 <Gekz> it was right-to-left originally
11:00:40 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
11:01:09 <TrueBrain> Gekz: that is early Greek, not a language you normally learn :p
11:01:42 <TrueBrain> and it in fact was right-to-left, left-to-right, right-to-left, etc etc
11:01:48 <Gekz> TrueBrain: that's what I said
11:01:50 <TrueBrain> mirroring the letters when going right-to-left
11:01:53 <Gekz> it started purely right to left
11:02:03 <Gekz> then left-to-right with inversed alphabet
11:02:18 <TrueBrain> but since the 5th centry BC, it was left to right
11:02:50 <TrueBrain> anyway, my knowledge of Greek is close to zero nowedays
11:03:00 <TrueBrain> I know like 5 words, and I hav a basic idea of the language constructs
11:03:14 <TrueBrain> 'of Greek' = 'of the Greek language'
11:03:22 <TrueBrain> (look thatone up :p)
11:03:40 <TrueBrain> I wouldn't expect you otherwise

11:09:27 <TrueBrain> (guess the song :p)
11:10:41 <Ammler> TrueBrain: what is the reason for creating the mac bundle "universal"? I mean you don't make it with Linux or Windows.
11:11:32 <TrueBrain> Ammler: I don't understnad the question, sory?
11:11:47 <Ammler> never mind, was just wondering...
11:12:16 <TrueBrain> no, please rephrase
11:12:18 <TrueBrain> I like to answer :)
11:12:24 <TrueBrain> but .. well .. I don't get the question :(
11:12:35 <Brianetta> Ammler: Apple have a mechanism to select the correct binary from within an application.
11:12:40 <Brianetta> Windows and Linux do not.
11:12:55 <Ammler> I assume, you could also make single bundles for every architecture?
11:13:17 <TrueBrain> ah, like that: Ammler, it is common on the Mac to do so, I think Apple assumes their users are too stupid to pick the right binary for their system
11:13:28 <TrueBrain> it uses JAVA to bootstrap that process of selecting the correct binary
11:13:40 <TrueBrain> systems like linux and windows don't always come with java, so the 'trick' is impossible there
11:14:00 <TrueBrain> for linux it might be possible to do it in bash I guess
11:14:05 <Ammler> thanks TrueBrain and Brianetta :-)
11:14:08 <TrueBrain> but users are just smart enough to understand what they have :)
11:16:01 <Ammler> That assumption should also slowly go away, not every Linux user is also a smart user :-)
11:17:05 <TrueBrain> but I think you can manage to differ between 32bit and 64bit
11:17:30 <TrueBrain> and to make one universal build for linux, which works on all distros .. well .. would be a big binary ;)
11:17:47 <TrueBrain> the mean reason Apple is doing it, is because of PPC / Intel
11:17:53 <TrueBrain> and I can understand it for that reason
11:17:59 <TrueBrain> you know you run 10.5, or 10.4
11:18:03 <TrueBrain> but do you know if you run Intel or PPC?
11:24:11 *** Singaporekid has joined #openttd

12:28:12 <bloopletech> I believe I may have found a bug in OpenTTD, and I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to try and fix it, or at least confirm that it is a bug.
12:29:22 <bloopletech> I've tested this in both 0.6.2 and r14356 (the latest nightly), both on MAC OS X 10.5. I'll get a URL to my savegame now
12:31:12 <blathijs> bloopletech: Please describe the problem in a report on bugs.openttd.org
12:31:37 <blathijs> bloopletech: If you can reproduce the problems on other systems (or ask other people to reproduce) that would help
12:32:00 <bloopletech> I was just hoping to see if anyone else got the same error before I reported it.
12:32:32 <Rubidium> then tell what you think is the bug than telling that you might possibly have found something that might be a bug
12:32:45 <ln-> bloopletech: that's not a valid URL.
12:33:40 <peter1138> So what's the possible bug?
12:33:43 <bloopletech> The error is, I have a train track laid over a road. The road was built by the town originally, and the rail track was laid by me. I want to delete the track to place an airport, however I get the error "Can't clear this area... ...owned by someone"
12:34:14 <bloopletech> ln-: URL's can contains spaces AFAIK, I can give you a percent-encoded version if you want
12:34:44 <bloopletech> This savefile was originally created in TTD on Windows with TTDPatch on it.
12:34:47 <dih> anybody know a nice tool do disassemble?
12:35:06 <bloopletech> dih: For running programs or static disassembling?
12:35:07 <dih> i have an image which aparently is assembler code and would like to go from there to source code
12:35:44 <peter1138> Ah, you're out of luck if it's from TTDPatch then.
12:35:47 <dih> (at least the output of 'file' is 'Assembler source')
12:36:14 <bloopletech> The rail track I'm trying to move is just west of "Little Flunninghall", in a biggish area of cleared space
12:36:42 <peter1138> dih, assembler source is source...
12:37:32 <dih> the company itself distributes it as a firmware update file....
12:38:02 <peter1138> Quite likely that 'file' is guessing incorrectly.
12:38:37 <bloopletech> dih: I believe it *may* be possible to decompile the program somewhat further, but you would need to know the language the program was originally written in. And I don't believe you'll get back to the original source at all.
12:39:36 <peter1138> Dih asked for a disassembler though, not a decompiler.
12:41:35 <Xerres> anyone here know roboboy?
12:41:51 <DorpsGek> dih: roboboy was last seen in #openttd 1 day, 1 hour, 10 minutes, and 11 seconds ago: <roboboy> gnight
12:42:14 <bloopletech> Xerres: I'm from AU if it helps :)
12:42:40 <Xerres> nah roboboy use to hang out in a channel i use to hang out in
12:42:48 <Xerres> but he use to go by lerfy
12:42:58 <bloopletech> Does what I reported possibly sound like a bug? If so, then I'll submit a bug repot
12:43:00 <dih> and now you are stalking him?
12:43:17 <Xerres> i was just bored popping in my old irc channels and #infowar was empty
12:43:22 <dih> that is just what people want - being stalked on irc
12:44:47 <peter1138> Oh wait... you're *that* Xerres
12:44:55 <peter1138> He said a lot about you
12:45:33 <Xerres> ya i didnt use this nick then either so nice try =P
12:45:48 <Xerres> so what is this all about
12:47:36 <Xerres> i dont play many games anymore
12:47:56 <Xerres> although i'll prolly play diablo 3 when they realease that

12:57:39 <dih> yeah - replace rollercoasters with transport, then you have it!
12:58:50 <bloopletech> The really wierd thing is I can't remove the tile even with Magic Bulldozer turned on.
13:02:30 <ccfreak2k> Flip the switch to "more magic".
13:04:33 <bloopletech> sorry, whare's that switch?

13:15:42 <DorpsGek> lobster_MB: TrueBrain was last seen in #openttd 1 hour, 48 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <TrueBrain> have a good one all
13:16:21 <planetmaker> bloopletech: interesting tile in your savegame :P
13:16:49 <bloopletech> planetmaker: the undeletable one?
13:16:59 <planetmaker> Did you edit the game with a scenario editor at some time? Yes, that tile
13:17:27 <Rubidium> it maybe has some random ttdp bits set
13:17:41 <bloopletech> The savgame did come from TTDPatch. I can't even kill it with Magic Bulldozer so it seems like it's definitely a bug.
13:18:03 <planetmaker> obviously. It's an owner which doesn't exist elsewhere and which is not an existing company or a near-by town or industry
13:18:04 <bloopletech> (Or bug coming from TTDP, I don't mena to blame penTTD unnecisarily)
13:18:27 <bloopletech> sorry, that was a horrible sentence I just typed.
13:19:07 <bloopletech> Is there any way I could fix this in this particular case? Are the savefiles at all editable in a hex editor?
13:19:12 <planetmaker> how's the owner called in your version, bloopletech ?
13:19:32 <bloopletech> You mean in the error message?
13:19:46 <planetmaker> bloopletech: you could save it, rename it to *.scn and edit it in the scenario editor. Yes, the error message. Whom does the tile belong to?
13:19:58 *** TrueBrain has joined #openttd
13:20:02 <bloopletech> I quote "someone"
13:20:16 <planetmaker> he, ok, that's even translated correctly then :)
13:20:25 <bloopletech> That's what I get when I do ? to. The rail owner is me, the road owner is "someone"
13:21:48 <planetmaker> same here. I can delete the rail, I can delete the surrounding tiles.
13:22:22 <Gekz> bloopletech: did you change grfs during this game
13:22:45 *** reldred|gone is now known as reldred
13:22:53 <bloopletech> Gekz: Maybe. I'm not sure.
13:23:01 <Gekz> either way it's irrelevant.
13:24:48 <dih> if if it's not a vaild player, the macig buldozer should succeed
13:24:52 <dih> rather than just 'return'
13:25:01 <planetmaker> dih: it doesn't succeed though.
13:25:16 <planetmaker> or do I need to do something else than activate that cheat?
13:25:43 <Rubidium> the owner shouldn't be invalid in the first place
13:26:00 <ccfreak2k> Can you set a break on the magic bulldozer function and watch it?
13:26:15 <planetmaker> bloopletech: do you have the original TTD / TTDP savegame?
13:26:33 <bloopletech> I believe so, I'll dig it up for you
13:26:48 <Rubidium> and magic bulldozer only works on town owned roads
13:26:55 <Rubidium> as you can remove roads owned by nobody
13:27:48 <bloopletech> planetmaker: I'm uploading the orig save to the bug report now
13:32:03 <planetmaker> hm... how do I load it at all?
13:32:18 <bloopletech> Do you have TTDPatch?
13:32:55 <Rubidium> planetmaker: place it in the save map, click on the line with the non-normal coloured savegame name
13:33:07 <Rubidium> (the latter in the load game menu ofcourse)
13:33:22 <planetmaker> I don't have patch. Thx. Rubidium, will try :)
13:33:50 <planetmaker> I didn't see it. The green and khaki colour were too much alike :)
13:35:06 <planetmaker> Seems like something already present in the original game file then.
13:35:07 <Rubidium> the original game is fine; the savegame conversion messes it up
13:35:08 <bloopletech> Hm. When I try to remove same tile in TTDPatch, I get local authority forbids this.
13:35:54 <Rubidium> hmm, or 0.5 gives the wrong owner?
13:36:06 * Rubidium rebuilds 0.5 with debugging info
13:36:31 <bloopletech> btw, I got the same error in 0.6. and latest nightly
13:36:57 <planetmaker> you wrote that, yes :). I tested with a somewhat recent nightly
13:37:12 <bloopletech> planetmaker: Just making sure you knew :)
13:37:40 <planetmaker> :) Rubidium is the crack. I'm just pretending knowledge :P
13:37:41 <Rubidium> planetmaker: yeah, to find out whether the rewrite of how road owners and such are stored might be the cause of the issue
13:38:16 <planetmaker> ah :) So loading these old saves was reworked since, I assume...
13:38:49 <bloopletech> This might be a sore point, but I've only been playing OpenTTD for a couple days and I've noticed the pathfinding is (subjectively) worse than in TTDPatch. Is this just me?
13:39:25 <planetmaker> uhm... I assume :). But might depend upon which path finder you use. Do you use yapf for trains?
13:40:05 <planetmaker> I think it can even be proven mathematically that the patch finder is quite alright :)
13:40:07 <bloopletech> I'm getting more lost train notifications than I did with TTDPatch I think.
13:40:35 <peter1138> Probably because it's notifying you straight away instead of after being lost for a long time.
13:40:37 <planetmaker> bloopletech: that might also have the cause in when or why that message is issued.
13:40:39 <Rubidium> lost train with YAPF means that there is no path to the destination without reversing in stations/depot
13:41:10 <planetmaker> :) ^^ most probable cause.
13:41:28 <bloopletech> I did notice that it went for an incorrect path when the incorrect one did not require reversing, and the correct path did require a revers.
13:41:48 <planetmaker> a path with reversing is not found
13:41:49 <SmatZ> bloopletech: you are using many twoway signals. Try yapf.rail_firstred_twoway_eol = false in your openttd.cfg
13:41:50 <Rubidium> in ttd(p) it just drives of and randomly takes paths and when it doesn't arrive where it needs to be in quite a lot of days it tells you it is lost
13:42:20 <bloopletech> SmatZ: Ok, I will
13:42:44 <SmatZ> bloopletech: though that won't affect running game... to change setting in the game, type "patch yapf.rail_firstred_twoway_eol false" in the console (activated by ~)
13:43:12 <planetmaker> (the key left of 1)
13:43:22 <planetmaker> SmatZ: it's ^ for me :)
13:44:10 <bloopletech> I also wanted to say how hugely impressed I am by the OpenTTD developers for creating such a great game. I have immediately abandoned TTDPatch for OpenTTD.
13:47:45 <bloopletech> Stupid question: How do I electrify existing track?

18:08:57 <orudge> [16:20:42] <Ammler> orudge: would it be possible to make a simple sample.cat replacement with the project you started? <-- yup
18:08:59 <orudge> that's the intention of the project
18:09:03 <orudge> indeed, I already released a test binary
18:09:21 <Ammler> orudge: I meant only a sample.cat
18:09:32 <orudge> you need some minor patches
18:09:37 <orudge> in theory, you could have a sample.cat without many patches
18:09:44 <orudge> but it'd be 8KHz or something
18:09:56 <orudge> a simpler patch, which I was going to do the other night, would add support for 44KHz samples
18:10:01 <orudge> without the whole new mixer thing
18:10:33 <Ammler> when is "the other night" ?
18:10:50 <Bjarni> like within the last 48 hours
18:10:56 <Bjarni> at least if you know English ;)
18:11:34 <Ammler> orudge: you replacment looks like the 32bpp for graphics
18:12:00 <Ammler> I am looking for the file which would replace the sample.cat like the OpenGFX
18:12:04 <orudge> "the other night" was two nights ago
18:12:07 <orudge> well, my project would do that
18:12:17 <orudge> but minor patches would be required to increase the quality
18:12:23 <orudge> as there really is no point in converting the lovely new sounds to 8KHz
18:12:30 <orudge> it just makes them sound mushy
18:12:36 <Ammler> dedicated servers i.e. don't care about quality :-)
18:12:54 <orudge> well, a minor patch would be needed then to stop it complaining about sample.cat being invalid ;)
18:12:55 <Bjarni> dedicated servers should be able to completely ignore sounds
18:13:18 <Ammler> orudge: the problem there is newsound support in GRFs
18:13:28 <orudge> how is that a problem, may I ask?
18:13:38 <Ammler> you can already start the game without a sample.cat
18:14:00 <Bjarni> I don't think we should make a new sample.cat. Wouldn't it be better to call the file something else?
18:14:02 <SmatZ> but some GRFs fail to load
18:14:05 <Ammler> but you can't use newgrfs which use that feature like UKRS
18:14:06 <nick> what is a good small download compiler to use to compile openttd on vista ?
18:14:07 <orudge> Bjarni: well, sample.cat is the simplest thing
18:14:15 <orudge> I think I had it called something else
18:14:22 <orudge> opensfx.cat or something
18:14:27 <orudge> if it found that, it used it
18:14:29 <orudge> if not, it used sample.cat
18:14:35 <orudge> that was in the patch and binary I uploaded
18:14:42 <orudge> I'd just need to pull that stuff out and apply it to the current mixer
18:14:44 <Bjarni> the format can be the same, but the file should be called something different to avoid confusion
18:14:44 <Rubidium> nick: good and small are multual exclusive when talking about compilers on windows
18:14:45 <orudge> instead of the new mixer
18:14:51 <orudge> that's the plan, Bjarni :)
18:14:56 <Bjarni> also if they have different names then the md3 check can stay
18:15:21 * Sacro implements a dc10 check
18:15:51 <Sacro> Bjarni: 0.6.0, an RV can't autoreplace cos of money limit
18:15:53 <Bjarni> Sacro: you go figure out what md3 is and don't come back before you have done it ;)
18:15:57 <Sacro> it just goes insanely in and out of a depot
18:16:19 <nick> Rubidium: what would you recomend then ?
18:16:38 <peter1138> Maybe Bjarni's heard of md5.
18:17:22 <Rubidium> nick: MSVC Express I reckon (but then: a) I don't use Vista, b) I don't compile on Windows, c) I don't use Windows)
18:18:07 <SmatZ> nick: you may try BuildOTTD (I have never needed it, but people have good experience with it)
18:18:23 <nick> i was told it does not work on vista
18:18:25 <SmatZ> it installs mingw and such (I think)
18:18:26 <Bjarni> <nick> Rubidium: what would you recomend then ? <-- I would recommend using an OS with a decent implementation of GCC, make and so on :p
18:18:36 <Rubidium> SmatZ: buildottd doesn't work for Vista
18:18:36 <nick> and i dont want nightly i want 0.6.2
18:18:50 <SmatZ> upgrade to XP, for free
18:19:04 <nick> i think it will go back on my next format
18:19:05 <yorick> Bjarni: that is called mingw
18:19:07 <peter1138> Why bother compiling if you only want 0.6.2 ?
18:19:07 <Rubidium> Bjarni: so that rules OSX out
18:19:27 <Bjarni> xp looks like a dead smiley (x for eyes and sticking out the tongue)
18:20:14 <Bjarni> <Rubidium> Bjarni: so that rules OSX out <-- I can use GCC and make just fine
18:21:47 <peter1138> "decent implementation of"
18:22:51 <yorick> if it wasn't broken in general
18:23:20 <yorick> it just needs a mingw+msys update

18:31:50 <DJNekkid> peter1138: (or someone) is CB36 for waggons only called when baught or when in depot or something like that? not when, i.e. speed is changed? ;) (for var2 type B4)
18:32:32 <TrueBrain> rortom: oh no, your poor soul ..
18:33:11 <DJNekkid> it seems like i can change CID based on that only on engines, not wagons
18:33:30 <rortom> i worked 8 hours on network interface drivers today, im mentally killed ;)
18:33:36 * SmatZ just started Dungeon Master in DosBOX ... don't expect me to code in next 3 days :)
18:34:21 <SmatZ> I wonder if I can finish the game with only 1 character :)
18:35:07 <Bjarni> well... just send a dragon after him in the beginning and he will be back
18:35:23 * Rubidium wonders whether pushing the reset button counts as 1 character, it's after all a kind of key
18:35:54 <Bjarni> if you enter a hole in the floor in DM2 (in the beginning), you risked being sent to a room with a dragon and it was near impossible to beat
18:37:35 <Bjarni> I don't think you were supposed to beat it
18:40:12 <SmatZ> I never finished DM2 :(
18:40:48 <Bjarni> I ended up with a lot of dragon meat and I couldn't figure out how to get out
18:41:05 <Bjarni> I didn't starve though
18:42:56 <peter1138> DJNekkid, what do you mean by change CID?

19:03:36 <DJNekkid> (were afk fixing the sattelite antenna)
19:03:53 <peter1138> Don't base CB36 decisions on speed.
19:04:00 <peter1138> (Except running cost)
19:05:24 <peter1138> And wagons don't have a speed anyway, you have to use parent scope.
19:05:44 <DJNekkid> well, it's the running cost i want to change actually ... with a CB36 and var2 B4
19:06:35 <DJNekkid> hmm ... i.e. the speed of the engine?
19:06:57 <DJNekkid> and then ... how would i do that? :p
19:07:46 <DJNekkid> the clue is, i want a different running cost on a wagon when standing still, then when in transit ...
19:08:14 <DJNekkid> use action0 when standing still, CB36 when running
19:08:19 <DJNekkid> and it works fine with the engine
19:08:29 <peter1138> Read the varaction 2 wiki.
19:09:03 <DJNekkid> hehe ... that i've done ... any pointers? ;)
19:09:18 <frosch123> search for "related"
19:09:36 *** [alt]buster is now known as [com]buster
19:11:10 <DJNekkid> something like -1 * 0 02 00 A4 86 B4 00 FF FF 01 A3 00 01 00 FF FF AF 00 then?
19:12:22 <DJNekkid> hmm, almost (i think)
19:12:55 <peter1138> By the way, that applies for engines too, in multiple engine consists.
19:13:35 <peter1138> So you should use related scope for both engines and wagons.
19:14:06 <DJNekkid> "!!Error (62): Offset 8: ID D7 has not been defined."
19:16:33 <DJNekkid> yey, that actually seem to work!
19:18:49 <DJNekkid> wow! thanx, again :)
19:19:24 <peter1138> Devs in "knowing what they're talking about" shocker?
19:20:22 <DJNekkid> but what shock me, is that i start to understand what you talk about :)
19:21:28 <DJNekkid> i dont need things with a teaspoon anymore ... atleast not that big'a teaspoon ;)
19:23:40 <Alberth> DJNekkid: I always find it fun to find that I understand something, and not being able to explain how in the past it made no sense at all :)
19:24:47 <glx> <@Rubidium> SmatZ: buildottd doesn't work for Vista <-- but it installs a working migw/msys
19:25:02 <DJNekkid> hehe ... well ... i've had a lot of "a-ha"-experiences with .nfo-codeing, and i bet i'll have a lot more of them in the future as well ... the crappy thing is that i now have to copy a lot of code into new places ... i wish i could make "routines" in nfo :)
19:26:56 <frosch123> learn M4, that would match the style of undocumented nfo code :)
19:27:50 <DJNekkid> never heard of neither
19:28:02 <Alberth> Nah, there are words used in M4. That is way too complicated :P
19:28:16 <Alberth> M4 is a macro processor
19:29:19 <frosch123> if not the macro processor
19:29:22 <Alberth> Maybe use the C pre-processor? Single line limitations are better in line with NFO coding :P
19:29:48 *** Nite_Owl has joined #openttd
19:45:19 <DJNekkid> peter1138 and/or frosch123: it seems like i need 2x the wanted value for the dualheaded engine (cb36 running cost mod)
19:47:00 <frosch123> yup, for dualheaded engines the running cost property specifies the running cost for both engines together
19:47:58 <DJNekkid> well, i made it ... a MU with a "high" running cost when running, and low when standing still, i.e. loading :)
19:48:13 <frosch123> that way the the same value can be shown in the buy and offer preview window
19:48:53 <DJNekkid> yea, when u say it, i need to double the CB36 in the purchase list sprite
19:49:43 <frosch123> no, you don't have to
19:50:11 <DJNekkid> hmm, somewhere i did ...
19:50:23 <DJNekkid> ah, in the action0 it need to be double
19:51:43 <peter1138> Just remember that the value is for both parts together.
19:52:07 <DJNekkid> and in the CB is for the first one or whatever...
19:52:21 <DJNekkid> anyway, i did get the thing to work, now i just need a lot of copy and paste :)
19:53:41 <DJNekkid> something to do at work when there is little to do tomorrow or monday :)

21:33:17 <Nite_Owl> Massive thunderstorms on the way - got to fly before the power goes out - L8r all
21:33:37 <Bjarni> looks like somebody needs an UPS
21:35:01 <Prof_Frink> To ship all his kit to somewhere else?
21:38:17 <Bjarni> I bought an UPS because I got tired of turning off whenever the weather turned bad
21:38:40 <Bjarni> surprisingly a decent UPS costs way less than a computer
21:39:11 <DJNekkid> yea ... you can get a pretty huge UPS for a lot less then 1000$
21:39:17 <Bjarni> and while it claims to work at a few minutes at max load, it can actually last more than 30 minutes with my setup
21:39:47 <Prof_Frink> Or you have a computer with built-in UPS.
21:40:07 <Bjarni> UPS is way more than a battery
21:40:14 <Bjarni> it's also surge protection
21:40:58 <Bjarni> if lightning strikes the power lines, then the UPS dies, but while dying it cuts the power to the computer rather than giving it dangerous voltage
21:41:43 <Bjarni> this process can make the UPS emit electrical fields that would be harmful to a computer (hence the reason why the minimum distance between them is something like 30 cm)
21:42:15 <DJNekkid> or it even dont die, but "only" blow a built in fuse
21:42:54 <Bjarni> at one time the power died and I used the UPS to boot so I could read the power company's web site (using a notebook, you can't power switch and ADSL modem)
21:42:55 <DJNekkid> and what people dont recogize, if they have wiered ethernet, that the switch and router/modem/++ needs to be protected as well...
21:43:24 <Bjarni> got informed that they expected to restore the power at something like 1 or 2 O'clock and it was around 23:00
21:44:23 <DJNekkid> 1500VA ups, to about 400€
21:45:03 <Bjarni> <DJNekkid> and what people dont recogize, if they have wiered ethernet, that the switch and router/modem/++ needs to be protected as well... <-- I realised that... and placed the internet connection on the safe side, meaning the line between the modem and the phone outlet goes though the UPS
21:45:40 <DJNekkid> as well as the switches etc needs to be connected to the ups (the power)
21:46:04 <DJNekkid> yea, most modern "household" ups' have a DSL-line protector-fuse-thingy
21:46:19 <Bjarni> if I didn't connect the switch to the UPS, I would have a hard time connecting to figure out where the power went :)
21:46:25 <DJNekkid> "power-surge-protector" or something similar
21:47:13 <Bjarni> I talked to the UPS guys at one time
21:47:41 <Bjarni> they really build whatever UPS system you want (if you want to pay for it)
21:47:58 <Bjarni> and they last for as long as you request
21:48:08 <DJNekkid> i sort of work with that ...
21:48:24 <Bjarni> so if you have something important then you tell how long it takes to start the diesel generator x)
21:49:26 <DJNekkid> well ... i "build" security measures for large enterprises ... break in detection, access control etc
21:49:44 <DJNekkid> and we have battery power on all our systems
21:49:44 <teggigi> so you're an it consultant
21:50:02 <DJNekkid> as well as "wiered" power
21:50:21 <Bjarni> <teggigi> so you're an it consultant <-- aka wise guy
21:50:30 <teggigi> wasn't meant like that
21:50:35 <teggigi> was just trying to put a word to it :(
21:50:46 <teggigi> or were you flaming it consultant
21:50:49 <DJNekkid> we just tease back :)
21:51:30 <teggigi> was just trying to explain to avoid confusion
21:52:11 <Bjarni> I have to say that as an electrical engineer I have a pretty good idea about how UPS systems and power supplies work ;)
21:52:30 <Bjarni> I don't need an it consultant to inform me
21:53:13 <Bjarni> uneducated freelance consultant?
21:53:45 <DJNekkid> telecommunication technition
21:54:19 <DJNekkid> "telekommunikasjons montør" (you are danish right?)
21:54:57 <Bjarni> no, I'm actually a Chinese hacker, who are hiding behind a .dk domain (which I hacked for this purpose)
21:55:22 <DJNekkid> i somewhat doubt that :)
21:57:07 <ln-> "Branden blev spredt maleri"
21:57:16 <Bjarni> next is to figure out what the hell I just wrote :)
21:57:56 <Bjarni> however I (by accident) included a char which isn't Chinese, but Japanese
21:58:03 <Bjarni> hence it means nothing in Chinese
21:59:38 <Bjarni> writing random chars in Japanese on a Latin keyboard is actually a bit tricky as you have to think about which random keys to press in order to form actual Asian chars
22:00:05 <Bjarni> completely random keystrokes will produce an odd mix of Chinese and Latin chars

22:02:28 <DJNekkid> mee to, well, my name was ... or ... my stage name was ;)
22:05:09 <ln-> the series was narrated by ringo starr.
22:05:21 <DJNekkid> just the first couple of seasons
22:06:17 <Bjarni> they made new seasons and you can see that they added computer animation
22:06:49 <DJNekkid> i heavent seen thoose yet
22:08:38 <DJNekkid> well, im off to sleep, cya
22:10:05 <Bjarni> damn they removed the article where I was interviewed :(
22:10:28 <Eddi|zuHause> it couldn't have been important then :p
22:12:20 <ln-> maybe it had to be classified
22:12:37 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, you keep telling yourself that ;)
22:18:19 <ln-> well what did you say in the interview?
22:19:13 <DorpsGek> Sacro: tekky was last seen in #openttd 4 days, 16 hours, 10 minutes, and 24 seconds ago: <Tekky> I found the cause of the problem and have reported it to FlySpray: http://bugs.openttd.org/task/2298
22:19:46 * Sacro has noticed he's been posting binaries without the licence included
22:20:10 <ln-> "ær det du som kør tåget?" - "ja." ?
22:22:09 <ln-> and btw, kill bill soundtrack has some excellent songs.
22:34:26 <Bjarni> <ln-> well what did you say in the interview? <--- basically it was an article about http://nordkysten.nu/?Id=5416 . The difference was that it was a journalist who were actually on the train interviewing the crew
22:34:35 <Bjarni> and I talked about technical stuff (go figure)
22:36:22 <ln-> like "yes, and you need to pay attention to endianness because that's different on PPC"?
22:36:50 <Bjarni> actually it was technical about the locomotive
22:37:08 <Bjarni> and it lacks endianess :p
22:37:41 <ln-> steam locomotives have endianness
22:39:17 <Bjarni> they have engineness, but endianess?
22:43:10 <ln-> could it be that Bjarni has segfaulted because he's not saying anything
22:43:45 <Bjarni> are you talking about a core dump?
22:44:48 <ln-> but well, have you heard kill bill soundtrack?
22:47:32 <Bjarni> I have heard the name kill bill before
22:47:40 <Bjarni> but I can't really remember what it's all about
22:48:20 <Prof_Frink> Bjarni: There's this bloke called Bill.
22:48:33 <Prof_Frink> Someone wants to kill him.
22:48:37 <Bjarni> bill@microsoft.com <-- that guy?
22:49:43 <Bjarni> <ln-> "ær det du som kør tåget?" - "ja." ? <-- this is a fairly decent question
22:49:50 <Bjarni> I have heard worse questions
22:50:47 <Bjarni> like this one: somebody looks at the driver in the cab in the steam locomotive and asks if that is the place where the train is controlled from
22:51:43 <Bjarni> or (this one is golden): what do you do in real life if you have to connect two wagons and the magnets don't match. I know with toy trains you life up one car and turn it around, but what do you do in real life?
22:52:37 <ln-> then it becomes a maglev train, of course.

23:28:50 <Bjarni> but I have yet to see what they actually want to achieve as my information mainly relies on journalists (who understands shit about physics and is against everybody in order to make a story)
23:29:27 <Bjarni> it's better with war on Uganda
23:29:47 <ln-> Bjarni: search youtube for "large hadron rap" to get a brief introduction -- by physicists -- to what they are looking for.
23:30:05 <Eddi|zuHause> as far as i can tell, they are searching for the Higgs-Boson, which they hope will explain some stuff about how gravity works
23:30:51 <ln-> it's about time, because we're supposed to have hover boards of BTTF2 in only 7 years.
23:35:50 <Eddi|zuHause> there was a scene in stargate, where they were testing an experimental jet that used extraterrestrial technology, and they go like "inertia dampers - check" - "cool, do we have phasers, too?" - "don't be silly" :p

23:41:58 <Bjarni> Enterprise sucks big time
23:42:17 <Eddi|zuHause> i have seen a few of the animated episodes a long time ago
23:42:55 <Eddi|zuHause> i can't actually remember anything, though :p
23:42:58 <Bjarni> I don't like the animated series or TOS. They were made in an era where USA produced horrible TV shows >_<
23:43:01 <ln-> but it has scott bacula as captain
23:43:56 <Eddi|zuHause> ln-: i'm not going to spend money on a show that is going to be repeated so often in free tv
23:44:11 <Bjarni> that's a fairly decent argument
23:44:21 <ln-> Eddi|zuHause: you live in the wrong country.
23:44:34 <Eddi|zuHause> i mean they repeated it already like 3 times
23:44:37 <Bjarni> You mean they spean German?
23:45:14 <ln-> that, too, but over here you can be assured no Trek series is "repeated so ofte in free tv".
23:47:58 <ln-> 3 seasons + a few of 4 of TNG was shown in early 1990's, seasons 1 and 2 repeated ~2005.
23:48:27 <ln-> in the meanwhile, some not very widely available cable channel showed seasons 4..7.
23:49:08 <Eddi|zuHause> they're currently showing TOS here, i think
23:50:37 <ln-> and apart from maybe TOS, no Trek series has been shown on finnish tv from season 1 to N.
23:51:21 *** Yeggstry is now known as Yeggzzz
23:51:36 <ln-> maybe 4 seasons of DS9 were shown, 1 of Voyager, zero of Enterprise.
23:51:40 <Eddi|zuHause> i guess the TV market is too small there for souch niche series
23:52:27 <ln-> or we have broadcasting companies ran by idiots.
23:52:55 <Eddi|zuHause> that'd not be much different from here :p
23:53:05 <Bjarni> ln-: how can it be that what you want to watch isn't on TV at your place so you buy DVDs and it's on TV for free where Eddi|zuHause lives, yet it's Eddi|zuHause who lives in the wrong country
23:53:25 <ln-> like really, they quit showing TNG in the middle of a season.
23:53:53 <Bjarni> not with Star Trek, but all series
23:54:32 <Bjarni> like "let's show 40 out of 50 episodes... it's not like people will care for the conclusion anyway"
23:54:47 <Eddi|zuHause> they did that with doctor who here, which they kept locked up for 3 years, and then complained about the lack of viewers for a highly underadvertised series on an unsuitible time slot
23:55:01 <ln-> in the 90's, TNG was shown in prime time, at 1900 tuesdays or something.
23:55:20 <Eddi|zuHause> your prime time is 19:00?
23:55:32 <Bjarni> TNG was once shown here at 1:15 on Wednesday (or something like that)
23:55:33 <ln-> well, sort of. compared to something else.
23:55:45 <Eddi|zuHause> 19:00 is like the worst viewed timeslot around here
23:55:57 <Bjarni> 19:00 is the news here
23:56:24 <Eddi|zuHause> THE news here is on 20:00
23:56:33 <Eddi|zuHause> then 20:15 the prime time begins
23:56:56 <Eddi|zuHause> statistics say that the 21:15 timeslot is the best viewed
23:57:02 <ln-> then the other channel that showed DS9 and Voyager in late 90's, and the time slot was something like Sundays "at some time between 12:00 and 15:00", or Saturdays 00:30..01:xx.
23:57:05 <Bjarni> we have news from 19:00 to 19:30, then we have local news until 20:00
23:57:48 <Bjarni> they suck at finding news to fill out 30 minutes every day though
23:58:07 <Bjarni> so you can usually get the stuff you want to see in the first 10 minutes
23:59:28 <Bjarni> however I think the news have become more and more political controlled
23:59:41 <Bjarni> I mean they are changed to fit the view of the journalists
23:59:54 <Bjarni> which is case of DR is far to the left
continue to next day ⏵
