00:24:01 *** senquack has joined #openttd
00:26:49 <fjb> I'm giving up on this game. UKRS trains have running costs that high again that I'm losing only money. Maybe I should play on flat land only with the UKRS set.

01:15:53 <ccfreak2k> The longer it's in transit, the higher its value. :)
02:33:11 *** Sacro_ is now known as Sacro

04:30:09 <De_Ghosty> so you stack em in a uber dense stacking garage
04:30:17 <De_Ghosty> leave the game on for a year
04:30:28 <De_Ghosty> and you crash it when it gets delievered?
04:43:59 <Sacro_> hmm, never assume an object is assigned
04:46:22 <Sacro_> This method does not change the value of this DateTime. Instead, a new DateTime is returned whose value is the result of this operation. <- now what is the point of that D:

08:03:33 <Doorslammer> Anyone tell me what version VisualBasic is recommended for programming?
08:03:54 <planetmaker> qbasic found with msdos 5.0 ;)
08:04:34 <Doorslammer> Reason I ask was I found a copy of 5.0 in a charity bin. Should I have left it there? :P
08:05:20 <Doorslammer> Thought that would have been the go. Oh well, back in the bin it goes ;)
08:06:20 <boekabart> Doorslammer: If you want to program VB nowadays, I'd recommend Visual Basic 2008 Express
08:09:06 <boekabart> But only do that if you really know basic already and don't want to learn smth else. If you want to learn programming, i'd recommend visual c++ express or visual c# express more: just as free but you'll gain more respect :P
08:09:20 * Rubidium wonders why someone would want to use VisualBasic
08:09:49 * boekabart 'installed' gwbasic last week
08:09:54 <boekabart> ... out of masochism
08:09:58 *** Wezz6400 has joined #openttd
08:10:01 <boekabart> and for-old-times-sake
08:10:50 * boekabart wonders whether he should tell that he also installed TASM at the same time....
08:12:25 <peter1138> VB 2008 Express is .Net only, isn't it?
08:12:45 <peter1138> So it's much better than VB 5 or 6 :D
08:13:52 <peter1138> All of MS's .NET language are pretty much the same, just with slightly different syntactic sugar.
08:14:23 <Doorslammer> As I say, I didn't set out to use VB, I just 'found' it ;)
08:14:48 <Rubidium> yup... and in all you can create leaky applications ;)
08:15:41 <peter1138> Garbage collection, feh.
08:16:11 <Rubidium> peter1138: but you can disable the garbage collection
08:16:54 * peter1138 is perfectly capable of creating a leaky application in any language :)
08:17:40 <keyweed> including haskel? and lips?
08:18:40 <Doorslammer> I guess you lot are right. Let's see if some silly sod buys a PC app in a charity op shop :P
08:32:07 <Eddi|zuHause> i've had 2 line applications in haskell run out of memory ;)
08:32:26 <Eddi|zuHause> granted, i wanted to calculate all prime numbers...
08:32:43 <Eddi|zuHause> and it's not actually leaking ;)
08:33:35 <Eddi|zuHause> i _could_ have fitted the two lines in one ;)
08:34:14 <keyweed> at the moment i couldn't write a line of haskell if my life depended on it.
08:34:31 <keyweed> and is sincerely hope my life will never depend on a line of haskell code.
08:35:23 <peter1138> Err, yeah... maybe not in all languages :)
08:37:00 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm sure one could write a common language interpreter in haskell ;)
08:38:20 <Eddi|zuHause> back then my haskell skills produced lines like:
08:38:22 <Eddi|zuHause> sieb (n:x) (xs) = (n:z) where (y,z) =(takeWhile (<n*n) xs, sieb (x++y) (filter (\x->x `mod` n /= 0) (drop (length y) (xs))))
08:38:49 <Eddi|zuHause> calculate all primes with:
08:38:50 <Eddi|zuHause> 2:sieb [3] [5,7..]
08:39:03 <Eddi|zuHause> (that's the optimised variant :))
08:39:46 <peter1138> Hmm, received a packet of sweets via ebay :o
08:41:06 <Eddi|zuHause> bah... i should have commented my code back then :p
08:43:55 <TrueBrain> it's a .... boekabart! NOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo :p
08:44:34 *** Celestar has joined #openttd
08:44:34 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Celestar
08:44:45 <TrueBrain> boekabart: that we don't know for sure of course
08:44:54 <boekabart> TrueBrain: ask nickserv :)
08:45:32 <TrueBrain> nickservs can be hacked
08:45:54 <TrueBrain> but lets go with it,y ou are the boekabart :p
08:46:01 <TrueBrain> in that case: how are you? :)
08:46:13 <TrueBrain> and maybe more important: what brings you here? :p
08:48:15 <boekabart> what brings me here? well.. being in-between-projects at work :)
08:49:02 <boekabart> just taking a look at all my patches - which ones are worth updating
08:50:11 <boekabart> i noticed that in about 550 commits, it's time for cake again :P
08:50:32 <Eddi|zuHause> i have a little cake spare ;)
08:50:44 <TrueBrain> at your place this time,k? :p
08:52:28 <fjb> At Eddi|zuHause's place? That is not that far from here, I will be there.
08:53:09 <TrueBrain> fjb: no, at boekabart's place
08:53:32 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not sure if you can find my place ;)
08:54:12 <TrueBrain> but fjb, if you pay me the ticket, Eddi|zuHause's house will be fine
08:54:26 <TrueBrain> but as he is always 'to house', I am not sure he has one :p
08:54:56 <Eddi|zuHause> that's a slight mistranslation ;)
08:55:07 <fjb> If I had the money to pay a ticked I would also visit the party at boekabart's place.
08:55:08 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: don't you love it? :)
08:55:33 * boekabart wonders what happened
08:56:23 <Eddi|zuHause> which town would boekabart's place be?
08:56:28 <TrueBrain> boekabart: big bala boem!
08:56:40 <TrueBrain> (reference to 5th element, for those who are unknowing)
08:56:45 <peter1138> r14967 is cake-worthy?
08:57:03 *** Jezral is now known as TinoDidriksen
08:57:16 <Eddi|zuHause> no, it's not prime...
08:57:25 <boekabart> I said about. By which I meant of course, r14958 is cakeworthy
08:58:22 * peter1138 is unaware of the significance of 14958.
08:58:51 <peter1138> That's pretty tenuous.
08:59:37 <Eddi|zuHause> so really... which town?
08:59:43 <boekabart> so, how long does it historically take to make 583 commits?
09:00:06 <TrueBrain> boekabart: it can be done in like 5 minutes
09:00:08 <peter1138> Between 5 days and 5 months.
09:00:28 * boekabart DID write historically
09:01:04 <Eddi|zuHause> tickets seem to be about 100€ for that route
09:02:49 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... there used to be an option "only regional trains"...
09:03:50 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... that takes 4 hours longer...
09:04:08 <peter1138> Bah, silly Asterisk.
09:04:22 <peter1138> (Or more likely, silly person who administrates Asterisk)
09:04:53 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: we can also find a place in between
09:05:28 <Eddi|zuHause> if i take the train starting at 12:05 here, it takes 11:19 with 7 transits, or 12:19 with 6 transits...
09:06:21 <peter1138> Hmm, are Seagate Barracudas any good?
09:06:35 <TrueBrain> so you will arrive at midnight ..cool :p
09:07:15 <TrueBrain> peter1138: it is seagate ..
09:07:23 <peter1138> That doesn't mean much to me.
09:07:24 <Eddi|zuHause> but it can't tell me the price...
09:08:23 <TrueBrain> peter1138: it once was very good, then it became crap, and I don't know its current quality
09:08:39 <peter1138> Exactly. I think the same happened to pretty much all of them...
09:09:00 <peter1138> Deskstars were once a big no-no...
09:09:34 <peter1138> Yeah... that dead 120GB drive I spent a week copying? That was a WD :)
09:10:10 <TrueBrain> Western Digital always have been good disks :)
09:11:21 <Eddi|zuHause> "good disks" doesn't mean "never ever fail"
09:12:27 <TrueBrain> SMART mostly gives a good indiciation when they will fail :p
09:12:38 <TrueBrain> (but who has a smart monitor enabled these days)
09:13:35 <TrueBrain> 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 085 060 030 Pre-fail Always - 360302903
09:14:29 *** the_bat has joined #openttd
09:15:15 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... i could go Halle-Hannover-Bielefeld-Duisburg-Viersen-Venlo-Nijmegen-'s-Hertogenbosch-Eindhoven (11:19) or Halle-Eichenberg-Göttingen-Ottbergen[wth is that?]-Paderborn-Hamm(Westf)-Venlo-Nijmegen-'s-Hertogenbosch-Eindhoven (11:34) ;)
09:15:22 <peter1138> 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000a 253 252 000 Old_age Always - 0
09:16:01 <Eddi|zuHause> which program can display this smart stuff?
09:16:01 <TrueBrain> lol @ Eddi|zuHause .. maybe you should just stay at home :p
09:16:06 <TrueBrain> we set up a VoIP connection ;)
09:16:12 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: under linux, smartctl
09:16:13 <peter1138> 9 Power_On_Minutes 0x0032 169 169 000 Old_age Always - 772h+13m
09:16:20 <peter1138> 772 hours? That's a lie.
09:16:34 <TrueBrain> 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 097 097 000 Old_age Always - 2900
09:16:46 <TrueBrain> 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0003 196 196 021 Pre-fail Always - 5191
09:16:53 <TrueBrain> so I boot my computer once every 2 hours? :p
09:16:57 <TrueBrain> (stats can be so wrong :))
09:17:27 <the_bat> I get new grf with new trains exact it's North American Renewal Set (NARS2) new trains from 1850 to 2050 but when I set the start date to 1850 I can't build train track's what is wrong?
09:17:37 <peter1138> ATA Error Count: 382 (device log contains only the most recent five errors)
09:17:38 <TrueBrain> oh wait, it is a remote disk .. possible it does that many spin-ups ..
09:18:22 <peter1138> Error 382 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 22497 hours (937 days + 9 hours)
09:18:26 <peter1138> That's more like it.
09:18:29 <TrueBrain> peter1138: as long as that number doesn't explode ;)
09:18:36 <Eddi|zuHause> smartmontools... sounds like the right package
09:18:38 <peter1138> Error: ICRC, ABRT at LBA = 0x0365c497 = 57001111
09:19:02 <peter1138> TrueBrain, this is "only" an 80GB, so...
09:19:15 <peter1138> I'm thinking a pair of 500GBs should do.
09:19:24 <peter1138> But clearly not Seagate :p
09:19:26 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't have 80GB spare...
09:19:29 <TrueBrain> peter1138: isn't Power_On_NNN the amount of time it is currentyl active?
09:19:49 <peter1138> TrueBrain, nope. That's only 4 days.
09:19:52 <TrueBrain> 195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 066 058 000 Old_age Always - 82391501
09:20:08 <peter1138> 195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x000a 253 252 000 Old_age Always - 7702
09:20:16 <TrueBrain> the dedicated server of OpenTTD gives that
09:20:44 <peter1138> Please to be giving us new drives, LeaseWeb?
09:20:54 <TrueBrain> ECC recoveries can also be lazy reads
09:21:17 <peter1138> Some errors can be caused by a dodgy CDROM drive on the same channel, though.
09:21:21 <TrueBrain> it has nothing to do with the quality of the drive itself
09:21:28 <TrueBrain> there are no read errors or anything
09:22:12 <TrueBrain> but, it is a Seage Barracuda :p
09:22:26 <TrueBrain> anyway, RAID-mirror, both giving ECC recovers :p
09:25:18 <peter1138> Pair of 500GB WDs...
09:25:23 <peter1138> Hmm, can I afford that right now...
09:25:40 <TrueBrain> if you have money, buy the RAID versions of WD
09:25:45 <TrueBrain> much longer lifetime
09:25:46 <peter1138> The good lady, of course, wants a new oven and a new television.
09:25:59 <peter1138> TrueBrain, there's not much listed for PATA drives these days :(
09:26:30 <peter1138> I could fit a SATA card, but...
09:26:33 <peter1138> That's yet more cost.
09:27:06 <TrueBrain> you can also just get a new one in that case :p
09:27:15 <TrueBrain> PATA is fine, depending on what you using it for of course
09:27:23 <peter1138> For my server, of course.
09:27:24 <Eddi|zuHause> Error 8 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 7930 hours (330 days + 10 hours)
09:27:26 <Eddi|zuHause> Error: UNC 3 sectors at LBA = 0x005f783c = 6256700
09:27:29 <peter1138> Mostly idle, I suspect ;)
09:27:34 <Eddi|zuHause> what does that mean?
09:27:53 <TrueBrain> WD5000AAKB <- as good as any other
09:28:13 <peter1138> How did you know what was in the list?
09:28:26 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: nothing to worry about :)
09:28:36 <TrueBrain> for all those numbers the rule is: as long as they don't explode, don't worry
09:28:52 <TrueBrain> so if every day you get a new error, don't worry .. when it starts to increase with 100 errors, worry
09:29:09 <TrueBrain> peter1138: I just looked into the available IDE disks for WDs
09:29:15 <TrueBrain> picked the only 500 GB still available
09:29:45 <peter1138> There's a 750GB Seagate, but that's twice the price of the 500s... and is Seagate.
09:30:00 <TrueBrain> it has a 16 MB cache, so it will run smooth ;)
09:30:15 <TrueBrain> how much do you want to store ;)
09:30:33 <TrueBrain> I manage like 50 servers, non have a storage of > 500 (besides the backup servers)
09:30:51 <TrueBrain> when you exceed 500 ... you need a new server :p
09:31:14 <peter1138> I might possibly be storing lots of audio.
09:31:44 <peter1138> Oh, and a few OpenTTD checkouts ;)
09:31:44 <Eddi|zuHause> ==> WARNING: IBM Deskstar 60GXP drives may need upgraded SMART firmware. <- do i have to worry about those? :p
09:31:54 <TrueBrain> 500 GB ... 1 MB per minute
09:32:02 <TrueBrain> @calc 500 * 1000 / 60 / 60
09:32:02 <DorpsGek> TrueBrain: 138.888888889
09:32:12 <TrueBrain> 138 hours of music :p
09:32:23 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: I personally wouldn't :p
09:32:45 <peter1138> I'd worry about it being a Deskstar ;)
09:33:08 <Eddi|zuHause> it only holds my windows partition ;)
09:33:46 <peter1138> Oh, then who cares :)
09:34:18 <TrueBrain> hehe @ peter1138 :)
09:34:22 <Eddi|zuHause> 195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 12823699 <-?
09:35:00 <Eddi|zuHause> numbers with more than 3 digits scare me...
09:35:22 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: don't worry :)
09:35:28 <peter1138> Mind you, this 80GB does not have much used...
09:35:32 <keyweed> then don't look at the stock market losses
09:36:13 <Eddi|zuHause> 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 066 033 045 Old_age Always In_the_past 34 (22 97 35 31) <- uh oh
09:36:25 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: ECC is used for normal operations too, so it is not so much a problem, rather something to speed up reading :p
09:36:43 <Eddi|zuHause> 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 117 099 006 Pre-fail Always - 144292982
09:37:06 <TrueBrain> see, that value is worriebla :)
09:37:21 <Eddi|zuHause> 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 071 060 030 Pre-fail Always - 13046639
09:37:41 <peter1138> 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0032 253 253 000 Old_age Always - 15
09:38:02 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: seek-error-rate is normal too
09:38:09 <TrueBrain> raw-read-errors on the other hand, are bad ....
09:38:29 <TrueBrain> that indicates the start of the end of the life of a HD
09:38:34 <Eddi|zuHause> that's a seagate btw.
09:38:43 <Eddi|zuHause> and it's my newest drive
09:39:17 <Eddi|zuHause> it says Celsius ;)
09:39:25 <peter1138> 15F would be a bit insane.
09:40:26 <peter1138> Why is that insane?
09:40:38 <keyweed> how cold is the server room?
09:40:53 <keyweed> for the drive to be 15C the server room needs to be _really_ cold
09:40:57 <peter1138> About 20C on average.
09:40:58 <TrueBrain> peter1138: how to get the room temperate at 15C? :s
09:41:13 <Eddi|zuHause> well, my other drives report stuff like this:
09:41:14 <Eddi|zuHause> 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0002 171 171 000 Old_age Always - 32 (Lifetime Min/Max 11/69)
09:41:17 <TrueBrain> so your disks are cooler then the room ...
09:41:27 <keyweed> so unless you've got a very fancy cooling system i think the temp sensor is bust
09:41:49 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: always an option is that smart doesn't know the drive it is reading, and misread data :)
09:41:52 <peter1138> CPU1 Temperature | 22.000 | degrees C | ok | na | na | 192.000 | na | na | na
09:42:12 <peter1138> The machine room here has overhead airconditioning.
09:42:19 <peter1138> And my server sits in the blast of air from that.
09:42:26 <Eddi|zuHause> it says "In smartctl database"
09:42:36 <peter1138> So it has pretty cold air being sucked over the drive.
09:42:49 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: there are MANY disks .. so mistakes ARE possible :p
09:43:22 <Eddi|zuHause> but it does match my suspicions about the system failures i got in the past
09:44:26 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: how useful this channel can be :p
09:44:41 <Eddi|zuHause> i should really send this drive in, but i have no space to put the data on
09:44:52 <Eddi|zuHause> it's as big as all my other drives together...
09:45:18 <TrueBrain> 70 euros for 500 GB
09:45:30 <Eddi|zuHause> well, i'd still need two of those...
09:45:40 <tokai> does SmartCtl report actual errors?
09:45:48 <Eddi|zuHause> i bought this 1TB one for 130€ or something, half a year ago
09:45:54 <tokai> maybe try a full selftest if the drive supports it
09:46:26 <tokai> TrueBrain: my question was not generally meant.. i was wondering if it reports errors for Eddi ;)
09:46:47 <tokai> btw, MorphOS dies happily if it encounters a bad block ;)
09:47:15 <tokai> had to replace 2 drives this year
09:48:13 <tokai> now I'm using a small 2,5" SATA ones. :) silent.. less heat in the case.
09:48:24 <TrueBrain> I just one so far :p But that was because of head crashes
09:48:40 <tokai> well.. the drives were still working
09:48:48 <tokai> just both had a bad block each
09:49:07 <tokai> and the software to mark bad blocks only works on x86 boxes ;)
09:49:54 <tokai> TrueBrain: propritary stuff. no source.. nothing to port:)
09:50:12 <tokai> the time invested in that would be more worth than buying new drives anyway:)
09:50:32 <peter1138> Easier to use a sane OS.
09:51:00 <peter1138> Oh no! My memory usage has gone up to 2.77% :o
09:51:21 <tokai> I rather drive an oldtimer with new engine than some 0815 car everyone else drives ;)
09:52:08 <peter1138> Hmm, even with caches and buffers taken into account, there is 2.8GB free...
09:52:56 <peter1138> The server came with 4GB... who am I to argue?
09:53:12 <peter1138> Hmm, I wonder how much that would cost to buy.
09:53:52 <Forked> sheezus. I applied for a new job.. sent the CV in a .txt file (max compatability with plain text, right?) .. WRONG! .. the secretary called me and asked for the CV in a .doc file, since she couldn't open the .txt
09:53:54 <tokai> Quite a waste IMHO. :) I have no machine with more than 512Mb here:)
09:53:57 <peter1138> I guess it's DDR, rather than DDR2.
09:54:30 <peter1138> Ah, 4GB of ECC DDR is only £120.
09:54:33 <TrueBrain> do you want to work there?
09:54:39 <peter1138> Which, incidentally, is the price I paid for the server.
09:55:03 <Forked> TrueBrain: well it was just the secretary .. most others should know a thing or two considering that they deliver broadband (always-on) by satelite to ships
09:55:07 <tokai> peter1138: why was it that cheap?
09:55:32 <peter1138> Because it's about 4 years old.
09:56:35 <peter1138> And everyone knows a 4 year old server has no use, so they're flogged on ebay.
09:56:47 <tokai> peter1138: ic.. not used to such cases where old hardware gets cheaper... in our market it's the opposite.. the more rare/ harder it gets the higher the prices go ;)
09:57:13 <peter1138> Of course, we're still using P200s in servers here because there is absolutely no need to replace them.
09:58:25 <TrueBrain> if it aint broken, don't fix it :p
09:58:43 <peter1138> Exactly... just back it up in case it does break...
09:59:01 <peter1138> And then put in a 4 year old server to replace it that is vastly overspecced...
09:59:06 <TrueBrain> up to a few weeks ago, the astronomy center here still used a 486 to do surveys of the sky .. it was working, so why would you replace it :p
10:00:47 <TrueBrain> but it broke down, so now it is replaced with a p2 or so :p
10:01:47 <peter1138> One of my mail servers is a Celeron 500...
10:02:08 <peter1138> Never put in 'stop gap' solutions, I tell you.
10:02:33 <TrueBrain> I never had a Celeron
10:03:09 <peter1138> I used it in a development system for testing out configurations and such like.
10:03:22 <peter1138> Then someone decided it was working fine and turned it into a production system.
10:05:04 <fjb> Are house grfs not working when starting a game in 1830?
10:07:33 <peter1138> smartd[17277]: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Usage Attribute: 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count changed from 151 to 174
10:09:51 <peter1138> fjb: Depends... the house GRF may be geared for starting at 1920.
10:11:07 <fjb> Hm, I will test that. It's the north american building set. Could be that a starting date before 1920 is not intended with that set.
10:11:43 <fjb> What happens if I'm loading two building sets?
10:12:04 <peter1138> Then you get two building sets :)
10:12:40 <fjb> Does one take precedence when new houses are build?
10:14:21 <TrueBrain> why do snooze buttons snooze for 9 minutes .. or 7 ..
10:15:21 <Celestar> I have one that snoozes for 5 (=
10:15:47 <fjb> Hm, north american building set works when starting 1880... strange.
10:16:17 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... how do i start smartd? when i start it just like that, it exits right away
10:16:47 <Eddi|zuHause> well, after like 3 seconds
10:16:57 <TrueBrain> follow what it says ..
10:17:33 <peter1138> I edited /etc/default/smartmontools, but that's on Debian.
10:18:24 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm just reading /etc/smartd.conf if i find something interesting there
10:18:44 <Eddi|zuHause> DEVICESCAN -d removable -m root@localhost -M exec /usr/lib/smartmontools/smart-notify

10:20:11 <fjb> peter1138: Yes, the drive is 2.5" but intended as a 3.5" device. So a heat sink is included as a kind of build in adapter.
10:20:24 <TrueBrain> peter1138: rate is going fast ..
10:20:55 <peter1138> TrueBrain, I'd say it only started when I started fiddling with smartmontools :p
10:20:59 <Eddi|zuHause> # /etc/init.d/smartd start
10:21:00 <Eddi|zuHause> Starting smartd done
10:21:07 <TrueBrain> peter1138: so shut it down :)
10:21:12 <Eddi|zuHause> how do i check if it really does something?
10:21:37 <peter1138> TrueBrain, then I won't know if it increases ;)
10:21:45 <Eddi|zuHause> dmesg | tail didn't change
10:21:50 <peter1138> dmesg is not syslog
10:22:05 <TrueBrain> peter1138: though luck ;)
10:22:29 <peter1138> fjb, I just hope it comes with the lid :)
10:22:48 <peter1138> Why do they feel the need to show the insides when selling drives?
10:23:18 <peter1138> I wonder if anyone's removed the cover because they thought it should be off, like in the pictures...
10:24:31 <fjb> Because martketing people are thinking that the managers of their customer companies are finding the interior of the drive cute.

11:30:00 <peter1138> None of the text-GUI stuff I installed works :(
11:30:12 <TrueBrain> would be suprising, that is for sure

11:53:09 <ln> Pikita: please consider using apostrophes in your text.
11:53:53 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: anything that hasn't been suggested during the last minute will be considered "new" on the forum
11:54:28 <Eddi|zuHause> oh... by that definition... i guess it does pass as "new" ;)
11:55:06 <Eddi|zuHause> and additionally, it is definitely a "descriptive" topic title :p
11:56:36 <TrueBrain> I think it is a nice idea
11:56:54 <TrueBrain> I personally haven't read such idea
11:57:57 <Eddi|zuHause> afaik it has been done in the TTDP section already
11:58:38 <Eddi|zuHause> and i did not dismiss its nicedness ;)
11:58:48 <peter1138> I think it didn't work very well.
11:59:03 <peter1138> People overplayed their slot, argued when a decade was over, or didn't play for weeks.
11:59:31 * peter1138 ponders giving in and installing apache.
12:00:18 <Eddi|zuHause> what's there to argue about? new decade starts at 1st January on every year that ends with 0
12:00:49 <Eddi|zuHause> you should include that in the game rules ;)
12:00:58 <Pikita> and sorry ln I was pretty wasted when I wrote it :P
12:01:23 <peter1138> I'm only reporting what happened.
12:01:45 <Eddi|zuHause> why does every second thread in the problems section start with "help"?
12:01:52 <Pikita> I will do Eddi, maybe some people should sign up ;) to play see if we can get it to work
12:02:22 <Eddi|zuHause> it does seem fairly redundant ;)
12:06:09 <Pikita> now back to playing my Cindini beta map :P
12:08:18 <TrueBrain> peter1138: don't do it, don't install apache
12:10:18 *** stillunknown has joined #openttd
12:10:44 <peter1138> How can I make hgweb not rely on path parameters then?
12:10:54 <peter1138> (I don't know the official terminology, heh)
12:11:35 <TrueBrain> peter1138: we hacked hg ....
12:11:36 <keyweed> ow. you're not going for apache.
12:11:49 <TrueBrain> (hgweb is running as daemon)
12:12:46 <peter1138> Some kind of proxy involved?
12:15:16 <Sacro_> Eddi|zuHause: new decade starts on 01/01/01 surely
12:15:54 <Eddi|zuHause> Sacro_: no, a decade starts x*10 years after game start.
12:16:50 <TrueBrain> peter1138: lighttpd does the proxying
12:16:55 <TrueBrain> lighttpd1.5 allows path-rewrite
12:17:04 <TrueBrain> which in fact might be able to get it to work without modifying hgweb :)
12:17:27 <TrueBrain> (for proxy you can tell it what is should give as script-name, and what as path-info, based on the url you are giving him)
12:18:00 <TrueBrain> (for example, www.openttd.org/en/news is given to the backend as: script 'website', pathinfo: '/en/news/', to give an example)
12:18:12 <Pikita> anyone else tried out the Cindini beta?
12:19:03 <Pikita> the map Whopper has spent like 3years making
12:20:25 <fjb> Exe? Doesn't sound to be useful.
12:21:07 <Pikita> dont worry about that Im playing it now no viruses or anything
12:21:27 <TrueBrain> then why is it in an .exe?
12:21:43 <Pikita> some licening bulls**t
12:21:43 <TrueBrain> if a person doesn't plan adding a virus, why making it a .exe ..
12:22:02 <Pikita> Truebrain if you scroll down theres just the SCN version too
12:22:06 <Ammler> looks like a map for wwottdgd/3 :-)
12:22:06 <TrueBrain> Pikita: then my interest in the map is down to 0.000000000000000000000
12:22:28 <TrueBrain> as someone things he can license his scenario ... I really don't care :)
12:23:04 <Ammler> TrueBrain: i gave up to look on licenses around OpenTTD
12:23:37 <TrueBrain> Ammler: I gave up using anything related to OpenTTD which requires me to look into a license :p
12:24:30 <peter1138> It is a pretty pointless map.
12:24:39 <TrueBrain> licenses is for people who think they are important when they add a license :p
12:24:40 <peter1138> The towns are all fully developed...
12:25:45 <Ammler> you need millions to build a simple station (bribing)
12:26:17 *** Yexo is now known as Guest2432
12:26:25 <Pikita> its not a map for your style network ammler
12:26:30 <TrueBrain> @kick Guest2432 we dislike guests
12:26:31 *** Guest2432 was kicked by DorpsGek (we dislike guests)
12:26:31 <Ammler> TrueBrain: trees on a developed map?
12:26:55 <Ammler> there might be no free tile to plant a tree.
12:27:03 <TrueBrain> yesterday I Was playing a generated map
12:27:06 <Ammler> (which belongs to the authority)
12:27:08 <TrueBrain> and after a while I noticed something odd
12:27:12 <peter1138> It's also too big. My crappy old slow Core 2 Quad runs it slowly...
12:27:16 <TrueBrain> took me 5 gameyears to notice I siwtched off trees :p
12:30:14 <fjb> Big question remains: What do I do with that exe?
12:30:52 <Ammler> doesn't wine handle it?
12:31:00 <Pikita> and Truebrain I did that but with buildings I started a game and was like my GRFs are screwed up
12:31:18 <peter1138> Delete. The .scn is provided further down.
12:31:20 <Pikita> tried 6 diff random games before I realised
12:31:39 <Ammler> maybe someone should tell him, that OTTD saves are already compressed.
12:31:44 <fjb> No wine here. Wine and me don't like each other.
12:33:02 * peter1138 rarely plays above 512x512, so :)
12:33:58 <Ammler> that game would need a ignore authority patch.
12:37:46 <Ammler> why is the load scenario folder somewhere else then save (per default)?
12:39:15 <TrueBrain> because ... savegames are not scenarios?
12:39:56 <Ammler> TrueBrain: I meant realtive, saves are at ~/openttd/ but scenarios are relative to the binary.
12:43:08 <Ammler> lumber mills in the desert?
12:43:32 <Pikita> im goona start making money now :)
12:43:39 <Pikita> i finally started moving oil
12:44:42 <TrueBrain> you did enable cargodest, I hope?
12:45:12 <peter1138> Buggy cargodest is buggy.
12:45:38 <TrueBrain> I did find a few bugs, yes
12:45:45 <Celestar> did you report them? :P
12:45:46 <TrueBrain> but you need to work hard for that :p
12:45:57 <peter1138> I didn't look for their cause either.
12:46:09 <peter1138> Busy doing... other stuff.
12:46:14 <TrueBrain> and peter1138 was not nice to me I telling him
12:46:23 <Celestar> I'll just wait until peter1138 has fixed them then (=
12:46:53 <TrueBrain> Celestar: main problem I found, was changing orders from 'Do not load' to normal .. then things go wrong :p
12:47:41 <Ammler> nice map, but not sure, if it is playable...
12:49:45 <peter1138> It's easy to play with RVs...
12:51:25 <Celestar> TrueBrain: you got a sample savegame or something?
12:51:57 *** Swallow has joined #openttd
12:52:03 <Celestar> cuz I cannot seem to reproduce it here
12:52:18 <TrueBrain> Celestar: not really, as reproducing was too easy
12:53:46 *** Ridayah has joined #openttd
12:54:49 <planetmaker> holy crap. 5MB for a save :)
12:54:53 <TrueBrain> haha: 164 pax going via unknown station
12:55:58 <TrueBrain> Celestar: that savegame works fine .. now remove all 'additions' to the orders of the bus, as in: remove 'unloading' and remove 'loading'
12:56:06 <TrueBrain> it is not identical to the problem above, but it gives 'unknown stations'
12:56:11 <TrueBrain> which I guess is the same cause
12:56:17 <TrueBrain> removing the orders and readding them fixes the problem
12:56:43 <Eddi|zuHause> "rn rr" should generally fix all problems
12:57:28 <Celestar> TrueBrain: well check
12:57:40 <Celestar> well I'll check I mean
12:58:41 <Pikita> I want more road parts in OTTD :p
12:58:42 <TrueBrain> :) Let me know if you can reproduce
12:58:48 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: yeah, that sounds like a good solution .. lol :p
12:59:01 <TrueBrain> I want more money in real life
13:00:16 * Rubidium doesn't necessarily need more money; lower prices are also okay for me
13:02:45 <Eddi|zuHause> i need more pressure, else i won't get anything done...

13:11:22 <peter1138> Quite a large corner :p
13:11:25 <Celestar> peter1138: I recommend I'll remove ProcessOrderModification and just remove the entire order list and plug it in again when it is modified.
13:11:54 <Celestar> peter1138: no, it only happens when a station could load shit, but there is no unloading order left in the list.

13:22:09 <TrueBrain> sure, but you can try it yourself too :p
13:22:14 <TrueBrain> I can't do much more then what you do :)
13:23:11 <peter1138> Bah, hgwebdir_mod is less featurefull than hgweb_mod :o
13:23:37 <TrueBrain> peter1138: use them both

13:23:59 *** Yexo is now known as Guest2438
13:25:37 <TrueBrain> Celestar: now when I load the savegame I already have an 'unknown' in it, but that might been already there
13:25:50 <TrueBrain> the rest seems to be working
13:26:06 <peter1138> That may just be because you loaded it. You need to go through the steps again ;)
13:26:43 <TrueBrain> Celestar: when I add the unload and load stuff again, I get Unknown stations again :p
13:26:56 <TrueBrain> they are picked up nevertheless :)
13:27:13 <TrueBrain> oh, no, they just disapear :p
13:27:24 <TrueBrain> well, not in a station where there already is cargo
13:27:29 <TrueBrain> (and still is coming)
13:27:59 <TrueBrain> I FUCKING HATE NON-NON-STOP!!!!
13:28:05 <TrueBrain> the most annoying 'feature' of OpenTTD :(
13:28:22 * TrueBrain hits on the patch setting again :p
13:28:58 <Eddi|zuHause> the only problem about non-non-stop is that cargodest does not support it
13:29:02 <TrueBrain> Celestar: besides the weird unknown station, the problem is fixed now :)
13:29:39 <TrueBrain> the only problem with it, is that vehicles stop at wrong stations and unload all cargo
13:30:20 <TrueBrain> it seems that the algorithm that makes cargo disapear from stations when it is too long there, doesn't do 'old' cargo first ...
13:30:27 <TrueBrain> this 'unknown station' cargo sits here for ever now :)
13:31:44 <Celestar> it will sit there for some time
13:31:51 <Eddi|zuHause> stuff like that happened to me too... had a station that did not accept passengers anymore, but some were still enroute... and those didn't like cancelling the passenger trains to the station
13:32:02 <TrueBrain> 'some time' as in 50 years later it is still there?
13:32:38 <Eddi|zuHause> *I* *must* *not* *play* *openttd* *now*
13:32:40 <TrueBrain> from a station where no longer pax are generated, they will go away
13:32:51 <TrueBrain> but all other stations, they will remain there for ever, and there is no way you can fix it ..
13:34:18 <Celestar> yes: you can move them away (=
13:35:12 <TrueBrain> they are never picked up
13:35:21 <TrueBrain> else my stations tend to generate more pax then I can carry :)
13:35:26 <Eddi|zuHause> merging src/lang/traditional_chinese.txt failed! <- wtf?
13:36:09 <TrueBrain> Celestar: and I miss a setting to automaticly roll out all +s when you open up a station view .. now I need to press it every time :(
13:36:15 <TrueBrain> the rest CargoDest works very nice :)
13:36:22 <TrueBrain> yuo need to think .. much differently :p
13:36:34 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: were you translating chinese again?
13:36:41 *** Yexo is now known as Guest2439
13:37:06 <Celestar> TrueBrain: very differently (=
13:37:27 <Celestar> peter1138: ok I'm removing ProcessOrderModification and revert to using a more crude method (=
13:38:12 <Celestar> " One train, departing 17:05 from Munich, does not call at Petershausen any more. Deutsche Bahn claimed too high a demand as the reason. " <= that's great. Instead of using more/bigger trains to cope with the demand, we just cancel the service :P
13:38:22 * Celestar shakes his head in utter disbelief
13:38:50 <TrueBrain> Celestar: well, cargodest kicks in, and no more people at Petershausen will want to travel :)
13:41:33 <Celestar> during work days, the rush our trains on that route often exceed 200% load factor :S
13:41:53 <Celestar> and the DB comes up with no better idea than to cancel services ...
13:42:19 * Celestar thinks someone needs to be put through a wall.
13:45:04 <Eddi|zuHause> gah... i should prepare a script that makes a clean build and then reapplies any important patches

13:51:00 <Eddi|zuHause> you can modify the industry lifetime via newgrf
13:51:52 <Eddi|zuHause> no link... read the specs, create...
13:52:20 <Eddi|zuHause> shouldn't be more than one line ;)
13:52:30 <Pikita> one line is still tooo much :P
13:53:38 <Ammler> check the LumberMill on tt-forums, if you need a example.
13:53:47 <Pikita> well done Ammler :P you just confused me even more
13:54:28 <Pikita> im getting too much oil :o for my boats to cope with
13:55:30 <Eddi|zuHause> there is a grf to multiply the sizes of boats
13:55:40 <Pikita> i just add more boats haha
13:56:36 <keyweed> eventually you can end up with a staggering amount of oil tankers.
13:57:26 <Pikita> it mainly cause all the oil is getting dumped at the docks quicker than the boats can pick it up and drop it off at the refinery
13:58:07 <Eddi|zuHause> i never had real use of boats
13:58:27 <Pikita> with the Cindini map you need to use em some time
13:58:31 <Eddi|zuHause> the transport income is just too dependent on speed
13:58:47 <keyweed> if you don't use boats, how do you get the oil from the oil rigs?
13:59:17 <Eddi|zuHause> a) don't service oil rigs b) build a station near them :p
13:59:24 <Pikita> just use the on land oil pumps?
13:59:34 <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause cheats!
13:59:44 <Pikita> Eddi income isnt everything ;)
14:01:48 <Eddi|zuHause> no, aesthetics is. and red numbers flowing are not asthetic
14:02:02 <Pikita> i never have red numbers :P
14:02:24 <Eddi|zuHause> you get those easily with transfers
14:02:52 <Pikita> thats where most my income is coming from on my current game :P
14:04:55 <Celestar> is it me or is wikipedia dead?
14:05:45 <Rubidium> Celestar: looks like it
14:05:51 <ln> if you were dead, it would be highly unusual for you to be writing here.
14:06:37 <Rubidium> na, that MPAA/RIAA act
14:06:55 <Celestar> yes, that's what I'm saying .. terrorists.
14:07:31 <Rubidium> hmm, ofcourse... they should be classified as terrorists
14:08:14 <Celestar> MPAA/RIAA are nothing but petty thugs
14:08:27 <keyweed> hmz. yes. i guess you can build a Dutch style polder towards the oil rig...
14:08:35 <keyweed> glad they don't do that irl though
14:14:54 <fjb> Articulated road vehicles are not able to overtake?
14:17:52 <orudge> I'm well enough, got a list of things to do that I need to actually start doing
14:18:11 <Pikita> same here lol, but its much more fun to play OTTD :p
14:21:45 <Gekz> fjb: what roadset is that?

15:07:03 <Gekz> hmm, i can see how I have been misinterpreted
15:07:11 <TrueBrain> I wonder where I ever gave an argument ..
15:07:15 <Gekz> what I mean is, having a destination for oil isnt as fun as having a destination for passengers
15:07:15 <Belugas> well... be precise then :)
15:07:37 <TrueBrain> I Think Gekz has no idea what he is talking about
15:07:47 <Gekz> I know what my opinion is.
15:07:54 <TrueBrain> judging stuff by the name is most of the time a very bad idea
15:08:07 <TrueBrain> so either get a binary and try it, or stop talking in general :)
15:08:23 <TrueBrain> wow! Amazing .. a person who knows what his opinion is ..
15:08:27 <TrueBrain> you don't see that every day
15:08:27 <Gekz> I even used the wrong tense in my point
15:08:36 <Gekz> it is too early in the morning to try and make a point

15:08:55 <TrueBrain> stop talking gibberish

15:09:19 * TrueBrain gives Gekz a lolly and points him to the corner of the room
15:10:18 <Belugas> Gekz, in order to give an opinion, one should give reasons in order for all to understand it

16:16:43 <fjb> Shit, a well serviced coal mine closes down. :-(
16:17:26 <peter1138> Unless it was past its best :p
16:20:28 * Belugas had an idea recently about the closing : invest a huge pile of money on an industry, for research reason or else, and that investment will raise production level to decent ones.
16:20:49 <Belugas> so, at the same time you get rid of your insane pile of profits
16:21:17 <Belugas> a bit like fund town's road construction and all others alike
16:23:49 <fjb> But I'm nor earning that much money in 1844.
16:24:04 <fjb> So that closing down gives me real trouble.
16:24:10 <Belugas> that is your problem ^_^
16:24:51 <Belugas> i have to say, it's peasant to see games happening before 1920 for a change
16:24:57 <fjb> And only 5% of the coal were transported yet. So I don't see why it closes down.
16:25:40 <fjb> Station rating was also abouve 75%
16:25:56 <peter1138> hmm, who sells low power servers?

17:17:04 <Lakie> Well, most of the time its ok, Belugas.
17:18:00 <Lakie> Heh, do canals have graphics for the other climates/
17:18:44 <frosch123> actually the screenshot contains a nice metaphor :)
17:19:14 <frosch123> but maybe it only works in german
17:20:10 <frosch123> camels are also called desert-ships
17:20:21 <peter1138> Lakie, ours don't. The Action 3/2/1 version does, I believe.
17:27:32 <Belugas> Lakie, glx : it's ok as long as you kow your widgets, but as soon as one is using new stuff (or stuff he does not know), it's a different story :)
17:28:25 <glx> Belugas: you are not talking about OTTD GUI I guess ;)
17:28:26 <Lakie> Try that whilst fixing the sidget's fundimental workings
17:28:49 <Belugas> yes, glx, do, for a certain object project ;)
17:29:46 <Belugas> but that was during my lunch break, which is over now :(
17:40:08 <Eddi|zuHause> <frosch123> camels are also called desert-ships <- it actually goes even further than that... "sahel" means "coast line" (the sahel zone is the border of the sahara desert)
17:40:32 <Eddi|zuHause> and the sahara is ocasionally called "sea without water"
17:44:34 <frosch123> "sahel zone" reminds me of very boring lessons at school
17:45:36 <Belugas> yeah... i guess that was a very "Dry" subject ^_^
17:46:14 <frosch123> it was that "5% means every fifth"-teacher
17:47:22 <Prof_Frink> frosch123: Well, 10% means every tenth, so that's fair enough ;)

18:08:00 <mortal> doesn't agree as in would rather start a flamewar
18:08:45 <Wolf01> TrueBrain, then why the forum wanted to show me a reply and I can't see it?
18:09:04 <Belugas> strat spourt to you to, mortal
18:09:16 <mortal> wolf01, the forum software thought it wanted to show you the reply, but changed its mind.
18:09:18 <TrueBrain> Wolf01: don't ask me, I am not the forum replying you :)
18:10:08 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... my french would definitely not be good enough to get that kind of joke (if you hadn't told us) :p

18:59:14 <jpm> I would like to have couple of servers here...
18:59:25 <Belugas> you might want to rephrase that, Baem
18:59:31 <Belugas> makes very little sens
18:59:46 <Belugas> "where is much demand for?" <----- huu????
18:59:57 <Baem> which server do the users demand?
19:00:15 <Belugas> well... the attractive ones
19:00:30 <Belugas> the good combination of grfs
19:00:33 <Eddi|zuHause> the maps shouldn't be too big
19:00:44 <Belugas> the cliamte they like the most
19:00:55 <Baem> i did saw a grf theme pack is that okay?
19:01:15 <Baem> or just these generic things
19:01:40 <Eddi|zuHause> well, yes, you should take grfs from the pack, because those are the easiest to get. but you should make a good selection from those, you can't just throw them all in
19:02:17 <Baem> hmm i think i start with the normal thing
19:02:41 <Belugas> the idea, though, is to have one set of settings that will be reflecting smething, like a theme
19:02:41 <Baem> other tipps ? i have very much ram and cpu power left on my server :D
19:02:55 <Belugas> like... UKRS stuff...
19:03:07 <Baem> i never saw a such server
19:03:24 <Belugas> peter1138 had such a server a while ago
19:06:02 <Baem> i get back later . need to install first

19:28:03 <Belugas> At this time of day? doubtfull... but thanks for the idea :D
19:34:08 <peter1138> I had a NARS2 server..
19:34:47 <peter1138> Only Pikka and I played on that one.
19:41:58 <Eddi|zuHause> that's one of the main problems currently... on average, there are more servers than players
19:42:36 <Yexo> Baem: so there you have what is most wanted: more users
19:42:55 <Zuu> Do you think it is a big limitation to have widget focus? The main change would be that you can deselect text-inpbut boxes, and therefore need to select them again. For example new landscape/game window, if you click on a button the text-input will get unselected and you then need to click on the text-input widget before you can type.
19:43:34 <Zuu> The main gain with widget focus is that many windows that have text inputs can be open at the same time and you can select which text-input to type into.
19:44:35 *** mortal` has joined #openttd
19:47:36 <Eddi|zuHause> the main problem that i can see are hotkeys... not all windows catch all hotkeys, so you'd have to propagate the hotkeys down a "focus priority" list
19:48:59 <Zuu> The hotkeys are propagated as usual. Only when a text-input has focus it will steal the key-input.
19:50:11 *** mortal`` has joined #openttd
19:53:27 <Zuu> In the patch above I've focused the text-inputs of existing windows that have text-input widgets for easy of use. But still it is a significant change of GUI behaviour.
19:53:47 <mortal``> ...the mortals will rise?
19:53:54 *** mortal`` is now known as mortal
20:07:02 * Belugas refuses to read Zuu's patch right now. Might give it a good read tonigh though
20:09:34 <Zuu> Belugas: Ok, it is not 100% ready as I've only worked on it for one session. I found out that the network-message-window for example raises an assertion when you press the 't' key when the TextEdit widget does not have focus.
20:10:46 *** Yeggs-work is now known as Yeggstry
20:11:56 *** Frostregen has joined #openttd
20:16:53 <Zuu> Main question is if to use a pointer to the focused widget or use widget id I think. I currently use a pointer, which has the draw back of that when you need the ID you have too loop through all widget of the window to get the ID. On the other hand it is common to want to access the widget class, and having to use the ID in the widget-arary gives quite much more code. And also the pointer at some situations is equal to zero. B
20:16:53 <Zuu> ut widget id = 0 is the first widget. It is long time since I looked on the code honestly, so I don't remmeber if the ID is unsigned or not.
20:19:32 <Zuu> Belugas: I mean it is kind of you if you want to read through it but considering that code need to be looked at many times before it is ready I just wanted to inform you what to expect.
20:22:19 * Belugas grabs above mentionned text, prints out and will read it later
20:22:27 <Belugas> i'm still buzy at work
20:22:39 <Zuu> Ah ok, that is perfectly fine.
20:23:06 <peter1138> Loop? Only if you've not heard of pointer arithmetic ;)
20:23:14 <peter1138> (It is an array, isn't it?)
20:23:32 <Zuu> Yes, oh yea you are right. :)

22:16:45 <planetmaker> May I propose to add this hint to the development page of openttd where the hg repo is announced?
22:17:12 <TrueBrain> most people are 'clever' enough to press the link :)
22:17:38 * planetmaker should probably get some sleep then :)
22:18:54 <planetmaker> yeah, good night and thanks for putting my nose on the obvious :)
22:19:05 <TrueBrain> any time my friend, any time :)
22:20:09 <planetmaker> testing how to work with hg will then commence tomorrow :)
22:30:10 <Prof_Frink> [23:29:59] < fjb> 0:29
22:31:05 <fjb> What news happened yesterday evening?
22:41:43 <Eddi|zuHause> "player" got renamed to "company"/"client" where appropriate, if that is what you mean ;)
22:46:19 <fjb> So I'm not a player anymore, I'm a company now?
22:48:25 <Eddi|zuHause> no, you're a client
22:49:06 <Eddi|zuHause> company:client is one-to-many
22:49:31 <fjb> So I'm a client, but I have no lawyer.
22:49:43 <Eddi|zuHause> that is entirely your problem :p
22:50:25 <fjb> So I'm having a problem now. That is bad news.
