03:23:17 <DaleStan> Belugas: I think there's a bug in the CB 29/35 code you showed me. If an industry with prod_level at 08 requests production halving and then increments four times, prod_level will have returned to its original 08, but the production_rates will still be half what they were before.

07:37:30 <ccfreak2k> Most of my trains on one station are just going around in circles.
07:39:47 <ccfreak2k> There's no particular reason. They're all heading to the other station, but they just seem to like to go around and around.
07:40:44 <Rubidium> there's likely a wrong signal somewhere
07:42:31 <ccfreak2k> That's what I thought, but if I remove a portion of the track (disabling their ability to circle), they go through the other station fine.
07:43:43 <Rubidium> using the old pathfinder?
07:43:48 <ccfreak2k> Using YAPP signals.
07:44:03 <ccfreak2k> I'm gonna grab the latest nightly and see if it happens still.
07:44:28 <petern> What does YAPP signals have to do with which pathfinder is used?
07:44:58 *** Yeggstry is now known as Yeggs-work
07:48:31 <ccfreak2k> If you said anything between when I last said something and now, I missed it.
07:50:02 <Metalcore> [03:44:28] <@petern> What does YAPP signals have to do with which pathfinder is used?
07:51:03 <ccfreak2k> Pathfinder is YAPF.
07:52:04 *** Doorslammer has joined #openttd
07:52:39 <ccfreak2k> Seems to still happen on r14445.
07:55:43 <Celestar> THG is full of shit again
07:56:45 <Celestar> comparing an Atom 270 + an integrated graphics controller against an Athlon 4100e + Radeon 4670.
07:57:41 <Celestar> "While comparing a crude oil tanker against a Ferarri F360, it was found that the Ferrari has a higher top speed, but lacks in cargo capacity" ...
07:59:22 <Celestar> because THG has found that the Athlon is much faster, but sips more power :P
07:59:31 <Celestar> don't need a friggen test for that
07:59:50 <ccfreak2k> The Atom looks pretty cool.
08:00:03 <ccfreak2k> My jaw dropped when I saw it on sale at Newegg for only $30.
08:00:19 <Celestar> yeah, unless you want to do CPU intensive work, like multimedia (and that includes BD/DVD playback)
08:00:45 <Celestar> and you cannot really run vista on it
08:00:54 <Celestar> apparently IE7 takes up to minute to fire up or something
08:01:13 <Celestar> running some linux + gnome + epiphany works like a breeze
08:01:49 <ccfreak2k> Well, I wouldn't expect to run Windows Vista on it. I'd use it as a set-top box or something.
08:02:12 <Celestar> ccfreak2k: btw: you can get a full Dual-Core Athlon for around 35 EUR (and that includes VAT)
08:04:45 <Aali> ccfreak2k: you've abused two-way PBS a bit too much
08:05:15 <ccfreak2k> Celestar, said dual-core Athlon probably sucks down more wattage, though.
08:06:51 <Aali> ccfreak2k: the pathfinder sees a route through the "exit" line
08:07:07 <Celestar> ccfreak2k: well yes.
08:07:11 <Aali> make the last signal on that line one-way and the problem goes away
08:07:12 <ccfreak2k> Aali, that's what I was thinking, and then it might be changing its mind when it loops back.
08:07:18 <Celestar> ccfreak2k: the question is: what do you want to use it for.
08:07:26 <Celestar> for SDTV, the Atom is plenty
08:07:38 <Celestar> and _simple_ internet browsing / email
08:07:55 <Celestar> well, you could do HDTV if you pair the Atom with a proper GPU
08:08:09 <ccfreak2k> Standard TV, DVD, probably emulation with SNES and the like.
08:08:15 <ccfreak2k> I don't have HDTV here.
08:09:46 <Aali> ccfreak2k: it probably turns around because it sees past more of those signals (higher penalty)
08:13:23 <Aali> so its not really a bug, you've just hit that sweet spot where the pathfinder makes the same wrong decision over and over :P
08:18:30 *** DJNekkid has joined #openttd
08:19:44 <DJNekkid> im trying to debug that sound-issue i had the other day, made a patch compatible version. and i were told to use "cht: grfdebug" ...
08:20:06 <DJNekkid> no windows or anything pop up :)
08:20:49 <DaleStan> DJNekkid: Follow the directions on the TTDPatch wiki.
08:21:11 <DaleStan> ... Also, why am I still awake?
08:21:27 <DJNekkid> you know, there are no stupid questions, only stupid ppl ;)
08:27:47 <DJNekkid> hmm, nothing go into the .log file..
08:29:34 <DJNekkid> 1. buy the train. 2. cht: debug. 3: start the train and then send it to the depot. 4: cht: debug
08:31:15 <DJNekkid> and now it dont generated either :(

10:33:30 <FauxFaux> To be fair, some of the licenses they hate do have some shitty clauses in.
10:33:59 <FauxFaux> The gnu free docs one has a bit that says you can put bits that people aren't allowed to change in.
10:34:07 <FauxFaux> How is that even remotely useful?

10:41:32 *** Zealotus has joined #openttd
10:58:37 *** Dragoo_ has joined #openttd
10:59:22 <Dragoo_> How do I pull openttd using mercurial? I have tried hg pull http://hg.openttd.org/ and various others, but there is no .hg files there.
11:00:50 <Rubidium> open that URL in your webbrowser and make an educated guess
11:02:05 <Dragoo_> abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!
11:02:06 <Dragoo_> abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!
11:02:25 <Dragoo_> same if I remove 0.6.hg as well
11:02:30 <Dragoo_> I mean .hg at end of 0.6
11:02:48 <Rubidium> "here" means "on the computer the hg pull is running on"
11:03:05 <Rubidium> i.e. there is no Mercurial repository on your computer
11:03:18 <Rubidium> which is what is needed for Mercurial to work
11:03:48 <Dragoo_> first time using a mercurial repo that isn't mine :)
11:03:55 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r14449 /trunk/src/order_cmd.cpp: -Fix [FS#2338]: service at nearest depot acted like go to nearest depot.
11:04:25 <Rubidium> use hg clone for the first time
11:13:39 *** MapperOG has joined #openttd
11:29:29 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r14450 /trunk/src/timetable_cmd.cpp: -Fix [FS#2337]: time table restoring did check too restrictively causing order backups not to be properly restored.
11:40:31 *** welshdragon has joined #openttd
11:43:47 * Celestar gives Rubidium a cookie
11:44:12 <Celestar> merge cargodest and NoAI ?
11:44:39 <Celestar> speaking of which. NoAI will need some interface to cargodest, won't it?
11:45:21 <Rubidium> ah... /me slaps SmatZ ;)
11:46:55 <Rubidium> Celestar: want to earn your cookie back?
11:47:14 <Celestar> Rubidium: before or after digestion?
11:47:38 <Rubidium> whatever suits your appetive best
11:47:40 <Celestar> you want me to work on 1944, right?
11:48:17 <Rubidium> Celestar: you can read my mind
11:49:30 <Celestar> but I so far have not yet achieved a satisfactory solution
11:49:39 <Celestar> I'm converging however :P
11:50:20 * Rubidium wonders why people are interested in the RedHat Fedora Core 1 package of OpenTTD
11:50:32 <Celestar> do we have download counters btw? :P
11:50:51 <TrueBrain> same as people want MorphOS
11:50:57 <Rubidium> Celestar: on the test website
11:51:21 <Rubidium> TrueBrain: but 92 times more people have downloaded the MorphOS package w.r.t. RHFC1
11:51:50 <TrueBrain> and if we make it easy translatable .. we can publish it :p
11:52:09 <TrueBrain> Rubidium: but how long do we have FC1?
11:53:09 <TrueBrain> I mean: 0.6.3 has morphos, but no fc1, right? :)
11:53:13 <Celestar> Rubidium: the test website being?
11:53:25 <Rubidium> TrueBrain: 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 have FC1
11:53:44 <Celestar> Rubidium: one of these days, we'll have to think of a better ship pathfinder methinks
11:54:04 <Rubidium> so.. 33% of the people downloading 0.3.0 have downloaded the FC1 package
11:54:12 <TrueBrain> Rubidium: but back then stats are fuzzy :p
11:54:30 <Rubidium> TrueBrain: why fuzzy?
11:54:40 <Celestar> please provide poor bored Celestar with an URL to said stats :P
11:54:58 <TrueBrain> not widely known, stuff like that
11:54:59 <Rubidium> okay, it's given the download stats since 2008-09-14

11:59:39 * FauxFaux spies "Additionally, on Windows Vista you will need to run openttd.exe as administrator. Either right click and choose "Run as Administrator" each time, or turn off UAC for Administrators (Instructions). If OpenTTD is not run as administrator the AI directories will be invisible to the executable, and loading any AI will result in an "The AI named 'XYZ' is unknown or not suitable" error."
11:59:47 <FauxFaux> Soooooo looking at that tonight.
12:00:34 <Celestar> I _hate_ full clusters/supercomputers
12:00:39 <Celestar> I need to get work done
12:01:39 <Eddi|zuHause> should have done it before the semester started :p
12:01:52 <Celestar> the semester hasn't started yet Eddi|zuHause :P
12:02:13 <Eddi|zuHause> hm, it has here... i think...
12:02:27 <Celestar> will start next monday here
12:03:09 *** Aylomen has joined #openttd
12:04:54 <Celestar> 380 CPUs are offline :S
12:05:43 <Celestar> They've been offline for hours now.
12:06:09 <petern> Better than one CPU being offline in a single CPU machine...
12:06:09 * Celestar wonders whether the guy(s) resonsible does anything more than stare at his management tool
12:07:17 <Eddi|zuHause> go to their office, take their mandatory cluebat and give them a clue ;)
12:08:18 <FauxFaux> How pretty is the management interface?
12:08:33 <Celestar> I just have the CLI tool for my use
12:08:52 <TrueBrain> they like red lights :)
12:08:55 <TrueBrain> (I generally do :p)
12:08:57 <Celestar> yeah like a runway :P
12:09:35 <keyweed_> there are _four_ lights
12:09:49 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't like red lights
12:09:55 <Eddi|zuHause> they tend to block my path
12:10:08 <keyweed_> in amsterdam they also have a more positive function
12:10:14 <Celestar> keyweed_: where are four lights?
12:10:27 <TrueBrain> like longer travel times?
12:10:38 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: only if you care about them :P
12:10:43 *** Frostregen has joined #openttd
12:10:43 <Eddi|zuHause> you can enjoy the road more :p
12:11:59 <keyweed_> Celestar: i assume they see the number of lights they want to see, and not the 380 errors
12:12:20 <TrueBrain> yuo got to be kidding me ...
12:12:31 <dih> i think he's trying to kidd all of us
12:14:00 *** Zealotus has joined #openttd
12:14:11 <TrueBrain> Celestar: that a person really quotes something from TNG ... sick :p
12:14:35 <keyweed_> i could find you a relevant bible quote if you prefer that.
12:14:54 <Eddi|zuHause> i find it even more sick that he quotes such a generic phrase, and then expects everybody to get the reference
12:14:56 <TrueBrain> you are full of yourself ;) ('i me' :p)
12:15:08 <Celestar> TrueBrain: facinating
12:15:15 <TrueBrain> jus tkidding keyweed_ :)
12:15:41 <TrueBrain> Celestar: you think? :)
12:15:45 *** Aylomen has joined #openttd
12:15:56 <TrueBrain> what is facinating, that I still haven't solved a NoAI problem .. and still no clue how :(
12:16:25 <keyweed_> wish i could help, but i doubt that.
12:18:38 <Celestar> *grabs club and goes to supercomputer operator*
12:22:02 *** grumbel has joined #openttd
12:28:36 <TrueBrain> glx: non-native class registering and deligation
12:28:54 <TrueBrain> so basicly: instantiating AIList in a correct way
12:28:59 <TrueBrain> all my attempts so far segfault

13:00:22 * petern ponders sneakily replacing apache with lighttpd...
13:01:43 <TrueBrain> petern: please do ;)
13:01:54 <SpComb> as long as I don't have to configure it
13:02:05 <SpComb> or rather, try and figure out why the configuration doesn't work as intended
13:02:44 <TrueBrain> I rather configure lighttpd over apache any day ...
13:03:12 <TrueBrain> then you are either stupid, or forgot to read the manual
13:07:20 <petern> TrueBrain, I've done something sick :(
13:07:31 <petern> Linked up lighttpd with a fastcgi provider.
13:07:50 <petern> fastcgi-mono-server :o
13:08:19 <petern> On the other hand, ASP.NET is way nicer than something like PHP...
13:08:22 <TrueBrain> lol .. now that is sick, yes :)
13:08:38 <TrueBrain> btw, if you want to use fastcgi or proxy, I suggest using lighttpd 1.5 .. much better handling for that :)
13:08:46 <TrueBrain> (also allows WSGI in a correct way ;))
13:09:05 <TrueBrain> but why you want .NET support?
13:09:09 <petern> Yeah, but lenny does not have that.
13:09:16 <TrueBrain> they are both sick ;)
13:09:26 <TrueBrain> ASP for his: on error resume next; statement :p
13:09:46 <petern> ASP.NET is totally different to ASP.
13:09:49 <TrueBrain> why not Python? or ruby? Or java?
13:10:00 <petern> Because I don't know python, ruby or java.
13:10:38 <TrueBrain> Python is worth your while, in my opinion
13:10:43 <petern> I'm not in a learning environment ;)
13:10:47 <TrueBrain> but okay, .NET is not that bad (just it is Microsoft :))
13:10:53 <TrueBrain> and mono has .NET2.0 supoprt nowedays, so ..
13:11:43 <TrueBrain> but I wouldn't have guessed that would work .. ASP.NET via mono via lighttpd ... sick :)
13:12:06 *** Swallow has joined #openttd
13:15:22 <glx> <TrueBrain> ASP for his: on error resume next; statement :p <-- using VB is silly ;)
13:15:43 <petern> I suspect VB .NET does not allow 'on error resume next'
13:15:46 <petern> I've not tested it though.
13:15:57 <petern> (I do use C# though, heh)
13:16:11 <TrueBrain> it is not allowed in general anymore
13:16:18 <TrueBrain> it was an old 'bug' with which you could hang any IIS
13:16:31 <TrueBrain> on error resume next; 1 / 0;
13:16:40 <Celestar> stock markets are doing the yo-yo again today ...
13:16:40 <petern> Well, you can do that with any loop in asp...
13:16:54 <TrueBrain> Celestar: AEX below 300 points ... that we would see that day :(
13:17:04 <glx> Celestar: of course they reduced the rates by 0.5
13:17:10 <TrueBrain> petern: problem was that the process was not terminated
13:17:16 <TrueBrain> normally it should after N msecs
13:17:41 <petern> We have Windows shared hosting environments :P
13:17:42 <Celestar> glx: yes. XDax went up 300 points after that, lost 250 of them again today.
13:17:55 <Celestar> after losing another 450 this morning
13:17:55 <petern> asp tends to get its own app pool, hehe
13:17:58 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
13:18:03 <glx> CAC40 did something similar
13:18:19 * Celestar can't remember that flucuations of 5%+ were common earlier
13:18:25 <TrueBrain> windows and shared hosting .. that those words combine ;)
13:18:28 <TrueBrain> enough MS ranting :p
13:18:43 <Belugas> DaleStan: production_level and production_rate are linked together during the callbacks? I though they were separate values
13:18:50 <TrueBrain> they all went crazy like that .. well, lets just hope I don't have to go out and buy food for the next 3 months or so :p
13:18:54 <petern> TrueBrain, i don't like to touch them ;)
13:18:55 <Belugas> hello guys, by the way
13:19:14 <petern> Hmm, getting a lot of NUA timeouts today :(
13:19:31 <Celestar> maybe I should get myself a mortgage
13:19:58 <Belugas> i cold give you mine, it's almost finished ;)
13:20:10 <petern> Belugas, want to swap with mine?
13:20:38 <Celestar> Belugas: I first need something to buy :P
13:21:16 * petern only has 23 years left of his...
13:21:55 <Belugas> petern, no thanks, i've given my share already :D
13:22:13 <Belugas> Celestar: maybe a PLANE ? hahaha!
13:22:22 <Celestar> heh... Sarkozy is angry at Merkel ...
13:23:28 <Eddi|zuHause> isn't always someone angry at someone?
13:23:39 <Eddi|zuHause> it's politics, after all :p
13:23:43 <Celestar> it's not Merkel's job to make Sarkozy happy
13:24:01 <Celestar> it's good that she understands that she's to care about Germany.
13:24:15 <Celestar> and not about the financial problems of other states
13:24:20 <Eddi|zuHause> if she even would do that appropriately...
13:25:00 <Eddi|zuHause> i have a feeling that nothing happened in the last few years, except significantly limiting rights
13:25:13 <Celestar> that's a big part of what happened :P
13:25:26 <Celestar> oh yes and we'll get a communistic health insurance in 2009.
13:26:03 <Eddi|zuHause> and an increased payment to make up for the corruption and mismanagement
13:26:45 <Celestar> well, I'll be outta that system in 2009.
13:28:06 <Eddi|zuHause> i was thinking about searching a job in the USA, but i'm not sure if that's so good an idea either...
13:28:34 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: you just need to earn enough money to be outta the GKV
13:30:19 <Celestar> so more than 48150 EUR net
13:32:17 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not in a position to negotiate that kind of salary (yet)
13:34:53 <Celestar> if the socialists gain any more power in this country and the EU, I'm moving to Switzerland possibly
13:36:07 <Eddi|zuHause> the Left party only fills the position that the SPD left unoccupied when moving to the "new middle" [i.e. right]
13:37:01 <Eddi|zuHause> when the difference between the two big parties becomes negligible, the people are going to vote for the more extreme smaller parties
13:37:05 <Celestar> the SPD is already pretty far left
13:37:28 <Celestar> even the CDU/CSU is off-center (towards the left)
13:37:30 <Rubidium> what is left and what is right?
13:37:34 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, because they had to turn around as they realized they were attacked from the other side
13:37:36 <Rubidium> or rather, what is center?
13:38:03 <Celestar> center is in the middle between right and left :P
13:38:20 <Celestar> no socialists, no nazis, simply speaking ...
13:39:37 <keyweed_> if the right wing christians win the next elections here i'll move to china
13:39:58 <Celestar> "right wing christians"
13:40:39 <keyweed_> in dutch context: CDA (christian democratic apel), CU ( Christian Union)
13:40:50 <keyweed_> in american context: Republican
13:41:06 <Eddi|zuHause> just look at the last election, the PDS traditionally had around 5%, mostly in east germany due to historical reasons, then this group of SPD refugees comes along, and gets another 5%, in all of germany. that was clearly a turning point for the SPD
13:41:08 <Rubidium> keyweed_: rather Democrats
13:41:26 <keyweed_> everything fun gets banned, everything useful gets privatised and unafordable, our soliders are fighting america's wars.
13:41:33 <Rubidium> US Democrats are more right than the CDA/CU
13:41:56 <Gekz> All the stereotypes about Holland prove this
13:42:19 <keyweed_> i should visit parks more...
13:42:19 * Celestar _still_ wonders how Obama or McCain which to continue the Space Program.
13:42:27 <Gekz> you weren't aware of this>
13:42:33 <keyweed_> yeah. there's also marijauna dealers in new york
13:42:40 <Gekz> there were an outcry about dogs off leashes annoying people having sex in bushes
13:42:47 <Gekz> the result: dogs must be on leash in sex park
13:42:49 <keyweed_> Gekz: never been to one.
13:43:24 <keyweed_> as far as i know sex in public isn't allowed.
13:43:40 <Gekz> "ASX has one of its worst days yet, losing $56bn as financial crisis hits."
13:43:43 <keyweed_> ln: not for mooses in canada
13:43:45 <Gekz> my dollar just got made worth less.
13:43:54 <Eddi|zuHause> not if only one participant is an animal
13:44:04 <keyweed_> Gekz: my euro will be following shortly
13:44:22 <Rubidium> luckily (O)TTD(P)s exchange rates are more constant
13:44:29 <Gekz> I'm going to kill someone.
13:44:43 <keyweed_> they should use the OTTD engine to drive the world economy
13:44:49 <planetmaker> kill your shadow :P
13:46:30 <Gekz> "FOOD authorities investigating reports Chinese vegetables sold in Australia could be contaminated with the chemical melamine."
13:47:22 <glx> I though only milk was dangerous
13:48:22 <Celestar> so much for moving to china :P
13:48:58 <Rubidium> glx: there was fish with dioxine a few months ago too
13:49:38 <keyweed_> *sigh* where does a free socialist utopist move to these days :(
13:50:13 <keyweed_> hm. perhaps the usa after in a couple of years...
13:50:45 <Rubidium> and don't forget rice contamindated withh pesticides and mold toxins
13:50:46 <glx> there's also chairs with antifungal from China
13:50:56 <Celestar> #45: Profit has limits. Loss has none.
13:50:58 <Gekz> China is tryng to kill everyone
13:51:35 <dih> Gekz likes talking nonesense - it's pretty clear
13:51:42 <keyweed_> but guess it's only fair. westerners are dying from coca cola and macdonalds. the chinese should try to keep up
13:51:48 <Celestar> the Ferenghi know that. Human bank managers obviously don't.
13:52:05 <keyweed_> there is a limit to loss.
13:52:22 <keyweed_> the last thing to loose is you life/freedom.
13:52:34 <keyweed_> slavery wasn't abolished that long ago, we could still go back
13:52:53 <Gekz> you'd be my first slave.
13:53:17 <keyweed_> propably better that then homeless....
13:54:01 <keyweed_> ah blah. this cilisation thing is getting to complicated. i'm heading back to ancient egypt.
13:54:34 <Gekz> I'd just ask that you feed me a few times a day
13:54:41 <Gekz> and then you can go on the computer the rest
13:54:45 <Celestar> just type "civ" and it's no longer complicated, keyweed_ :)
13:54:46 <keyweed_> hmz. that soudns better then my current job.
13:55:54 <keyweed_> Celestar: indeed. deploying a carrier task force against spearmen is a sure win.
13:56:11 <keyweed_> hmz. erhm.z *cough* iraq.
13:59:31 <Gekz> "Fuck! That spearman had a 1% to defeat my tank. WHY DID IT WIN?"
14:01:24 <keyweed_> the spearman (elite, fortified, on a mountain top, defending a narrow strip of land between to oceans) had a lucky day. and if he hadn't. there's a milion more spearmen behind him.
14:02:02 <SpComb> spearmen and tanks reminds me of Empire Earth multiplayer games
14:02:19 <SpComb> although it's even better with, like, horses and nuclear bombers
14:03:50 <SpComb> or riflemen and cybers
14:04:11 <SpComb> it's not a good idea to play prehistoric-digital age multiplayer games
14:05:10 <keyweed_> well. a chinese guy proved that a single unarmed guy can stop a column of tanks.
14:05:20 <keyweed_> (requires media coverage +1)
14:06:22 <SpComb> yes, good idea, let's get a bunch of civilians and have them run around on the battlefield
14:06:26 <SpComb> the enemy can't do anything
14:07:51 <keyweed_> sadam used that in the first gulf war.
14:07:55 <keyweed_> worked for a short time
14:08:48 <keyweed_> heh. if you want to own me, you should pay my debts
14:09:13 <Gekz> we're all floating on credit
14:09:22 <Doorslammer> Im sitting on my chair
14:09:24 <Gekz> I dont think there's enough money actually printed to pay off the debs
14:10:26 *** DJNekkid has joined #openttd
14:13:15 <Gekz> just looks in the cupboard one day, and gets rich
14:16:35 <Eddi|zuHause> <Celestar> just type "civ" and it's no longer complicated, keyweed_ :) <- damn you, i had to type "civ", and now i have to play it
14:16:49 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm never going to finish my diploma thesis at this rate
14:17:03 <Eddi|zuHause> the professor is going to throw fits when he next sees me...
14:17:42 <Eddi|zuHause> the last meeting was like: "hey, you are working now 2 months, but what i see here is a job of 2 weeks!"
14:21:54 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: I know that problem.
14:22:09 <Celestar> but when I last met my prof he was: "We're actually on schedule" :P
14:22:42 <Celestar> you're writing your diploma thesis and you met your PROFESSOR?
14:23:35 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, we're a small institute ;)
14:23:48 <Gekz> him and his black market.
14:24:08 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: I meet my professor once every threee months about :P
14:24:16 <Celestar> and I'm a grad student
14:24:21 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, around that ;)
14:25:34 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: what are you majoring in?
14:26:16 <Eddi|zuHause> computer science, concentrating on compilers and languages
14:27:03 <Eddi|zuHause> which is an interesting and sufficently complicated field, but i'm not getting to the good parts
14:27:13 <Celestar> like .. playing ottd?
14:32:15 <ln> in our department people occasionally have a professor as instructor for their _bachelor_ thesis.
14:33:25 <keyweed_> most people in our department failed their studies
14:33:38 <Eddi|zuHause> no, like the parts where you actually get to test complex and scientifically relevant code analysis concepts
14:33:44 <Eddi|zuHause> instead of boring programming jobs
14:34:05 <Eddi|zuHause> but people keep on coming and saying: "provide an interface in form of a webservice"
14:34:13 <Eddi|zuHause> and i know shit about web anything...
14:34:20 <keyweed_> hmz. i failed pharmacy and now i have a boring programming job.
14:34:40 <Eddi|zuHause> or: "make it run on system XYZ"
14:35:13 <ln> or: "make it run as newgrf"
14:35:22 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not going to fail... getting a 4.0 is trivially easy... but i don't want a 4.0
14:36:16 <Eddi|zuHause> but the longer i take for the basic programming stuff, the less time i get to spend on the scientific part, which makes it hard to get good grades
14:36:42 <Eddi|zuHause> (1.0 is the best grade, 4.0 means hardly passed, 5.0 is failed)
14:37:27 <Eddi|zuHause> (within the interval [1, 4], grades can be modified by +0.3 or -0.3)
14:38:30 <ln> interesting, we nowadays have scale 1..5, where 1 is the worst (but passed), and 5 is the best.
14:40:13 <ln> earlier the scale was: 1, 1+, 1½, 2-, 2, 2+, 2½, 3-, 3.
14:42:49 <TrueBrain> so there, finished Saint Row 2 ..

15:36:23 <DaleStan> Belugas: According to Csaba, TTD tries to maintain "prodrate=(default_prodrate*prodmultiplier)/0x10". And when the production callback is not present, I think the production of an organic/extractive industry is controlled by the rate(s), not by the level -- making the inc and dec returns functionally nops.
15:40:11 <frosch123> DaleStan: IIRC the same for ottd, except with "Automatic production multiplier handing"
15:40:14 <DaleStan> If it's actually controlled by the level, then that's not an issue after all.
15:41:26 <DaleStan> But when CB29/35 returns 0D or 0E, the rate is modified but the levels are not. So I can halve from 08 to 04 and increment four times, returning the rate to 08, but leaving the levels halved.
15:42:33 <frosch123> yup, AFAIK 0D and 0E only has an effect when the production callback is used and with "Automatic production multiplier handing"

18:44:20 <Ward> I was wonder about something, when you build a station to pick up goods from an industry, does the area catchment have to cover the entire industry building to get all the goods?
18:46:32 <welshdragon> so long as your station shows it accepts the cargo, then it'll work

19:21:49 <Muxy> Hello here (Salut les clés de 12")
19:22:59 <Muxy> i've made some update on 2 source files, and i'd like to know how to put them back
19:23:35 <Belugas> svn revert src\file.c
19:24:31 <Muxy> I use Kdevelop, i found the subversion popup menu, and try commit to repository, but i get an error
19:24:45 <TrueBrain> Belugas: I think he wants to send us the changes he made
19:24:58 <TrueBrain> Muxy: our repository is not a free-for-all, so of course commit gives an error :)
19:24:59 <Belugas> TrueBrain, could be...
19:25:17 <Muxy> yes, that a good reason.
19:26:05 <Muxy> so if i want to make (propose) some changes, how can i do that ?
19:26:25 <TrueBrain> Muxy: most people post their patch either on bugs.openttd.org, or on the forum
19:26:33 <Muxy> (sory for the rainbow writing... dont know how to change)
19:28:54 <Muxy> Is there some reading who explain how to make patches or code change proposal.
19:28:58 <glx> no rainbow here (we have +c)
19:30:41 <TrueBrain> Muxy: well, besides the obvious (patches you create with svn), there is not really a guideline or what ever
19:30:51 <TrueBrain> just read the forums and the patches on bugs.openttd.org to get an idea how people try to reach the developers
19:31:23 <Muxy> yeap, yeap, sounds like a wonderfull adventure...
19:31:51 <Muxy> Ok for svn diff, but where does my changes goes ?
19:32:59 <Muxy> yeap in a file, but where ?
19:33:38 <TrueBrain> how ever you call that file
19:35:26 <Belugas> example, in win command prompt -> "svn diff src/openttd.cpp > mychange.diff"
19:35:47 <TrueBrain> or via TortoiseSVN it is much easier
19:38:05 <Muxy> Ok, because with svn diff i get some "bazar" on my screen, so i have to redirect this into a diff file
19:38:25 <glx> yes (that part was obvious ;) )
19:38:32 <Muxy> and i have to send this diff file somewhere else...
19:38:58 <TrueBrain> you can try keeping the file on your disk, but I Don't think we will be able to read that (still the obvious part ;))
19:39:19 <glx> bugs.openttd.org is the prefered place
19:40:03 <Muxy> ok, i will paste this file in the irc chat window, it will make a beautifull colored rainbow...
19:40:17 *** welshdragon has left #openttd
19:40:46 <TrueBrain> Muxy: you can try; you will be banned. I hate repeating myself, so I suggest reading what both glx and I trying to tell you
19:40:50 <Belugas> nice way to be kicked , in monochrome :)
19:41:10 <petern> There'll be a /kb race...
19:42:48 <Muxy> yeap sir, understood, i will send it to the bugs.openttd.org as mentioned.
19:43:27 <TrueBrain> glad you can read :)
19:47:14 <Belugas> jsut out of curiosity, what does that patch do?
19:48:46 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
19:49:04 <Muxy> as i said in the forum, it's not a game patch but it concern message logging when using the dedicated mode. it just add date & time at the beg of the line
19:50:01 <Muxy> yes like this "20081008 hh:mm:ss
19:50:15 <Jarod> I have a little question, I didn't find an answer on the website : how can i have bots in multiplayer without a dedicated server ? thanx for helping
19:51:14 <TrueBrain> Jarod: you can do it with a dedicated server?
19:51:50 <Jarod> i don't know lol, but in the options it says: allow ia in multiplayer
19:52:26 <petern> Multiplayer always has a server, whether its dedicated or not has no bearing on it.
19:52:37 <TrueBrain> so why mention dedicated server ;)
19:52:44 <glx> works for newai only anyway
19:53:08 <TrueBrain> Jarod: but if you have that Advanced option on, and you have New AI active, AIs will start depending on your difficulty setting
19:54:20 <TrueBrain> the original AI cheats a bit too much :p
19:54:50 <Jarod> i was thinking that the dedicated server had more advanced options than the classic server ^^
19:55:24 <Jarod> so if i want ia in multiplayer i must activate the 2 options about IA ?
19:55:52 <TrueBrain> Jarod: a dedicated server is a normal server, without the graphical output (and that is all)
19:55:56 <TrueBrain> Jarod: it is AI,not IA
19:56:06 <TrueBrain> and yes, as the options tell yout o
19:56:08 <Jarod> but in this case, the IA will juste paly with trucks that's right ?
19:56:23 <Jarod> yes AI, not IA escuse me , i'm french ;)
19:56:45 <TrueBrain> what has your language to do with that?
19:57:10 <TrueBrain> either way, if you want more advanced AIs in multiplayer, I suggest looking at NoAI, although that is pretty much work in progress
19:57:28 <Eddi|zuHause> and it's KI in german
19:57:29 <Jarod> in frech we say IA for Intelligence Artificielle, in place of Artificial Intelligence
19:57:58 <TrueBrain> KI in dutch too Eddi|zuHause ;)
19:58:07 <Belugas> i'm fine, i'm from quebec ^_^
19:58:21 <Eddi|zuHause> french is known for having all abbreviations backwards :p
19:58:30 <Jarod> Belugas, really ? i'm coming to Quebec in April ^^
19:58:49 <glx> there will be snow in April ;)
19:58:49 <Bjarni> Belugas: never tell your location to people on the internet
19:59:01 <TrueBrain> glx: you promise? :p
19:59:19 <Belugas> i can garantee you there will be :)
19:59:37 <Bjarni> some UK guy did that on a gaming forum and somehow he really upsetted a German guy, so that German went to UK and killed the guy, who told his address online
19:59:38 <TrueBrain> Bjarni: that only holds for you, as else we will come after you with clubs
20:00:33 <Bjarni> you have to be really screwed up if you go to another country with the single purpose to kill somebody who said something on a gaming forum (about a game) that you strongly disagrees with
20:01:00 <petern> Eddi|zuHause, yeah, like UTC :o
20:01:27 <Jarod> well, i am not a killer, i promise ^^
20:01:28 <TrueBrain> then I should be killed several times over :(
20:02:04 <Bjarni> Jarod: I think this German guy wasn't a killer until this incident :P
20:02:06 <Jarod> i will take a look at noAI, thanks for the tip
20:02:21 <Bjarni> and it's kind of hard to prove that you will not do it some time in the future
20:02:33 <TrueBrain> Yexo made a very nice AI which also builds rails nowedays
20:03:20 <Bjarni> the old AI can build rails, but it really sucks at doing so >_<
20:04:03 <TrueBrain> Bjarni: please either follow the conversation, or shut the fuck up
20:05:46 <Jarod> there will be snow in April in Montral ? really ? damn, i was thinking it will be the spring

20:07:55 <TrueBrain> *** Good citizens of Earth, this is your last chance to escape ***
20:09:53 <Belugas> but let make it clear : i'll show you the direction of the places where you can fool around in the snow, but the hell if' i'll join you :P
20:10:48 <Muxy> ok men, my work has been sent to the right place...
20:10:57 <TrueBrain> I will just tell your son to snow you under :p
20:13:52 * Belugas grumbles something about bad influences
20:19:18 <ln> they have Bruce on Heroes 3x01
20:20:52 <Bjarni> ln: is Heroes about snow?
20:25:35 <batti5> whare can i find a list of patches for ottd?
20:26:07 <ln> in other words captain Sheridan of Babylon 5.
20:26:23 <batti5> and to be able to download the to?
20:35:11 <Belugas> batti5, two places : bugs.openttd.org and forums, on dev section
20:36:04 <Belugas> but don't expect a list like... <This is all the patches ever to exist for Openttd>
20:36:30 <Belugas> and it's not "whare", it's "where"
20:38:25 <Bjarni> looks like he didn't like that answer
20:38:44 <Eddi|zuHause> no, it's "whale"
20:39:53 <TrueBrain> a whale working on OpenTTD .. cool :)
20:40:21 <Belugas> well... "working"... big word :S
20:40:34 <Belugas> the whale would like to...
20:41:06 <Belugas> but that nasty "real life" (that I hate for so many reasons) is fucking things up for me
20:42:36 <Belugas> and the whale now waves goodbye with his tail
20:43:13 <TrueBrain> (still I wonder how he was thinking that we meant him with 'whale' ...)
20:44:14 <Jarod> i was thinking to "whore" but after he takes "whale" for him, i didn't say anything ^^
20:44:22 <Bjarni> if whale referred to a person, I would presume it to be José Luis Garza
20:45:39 <Bjarni> I really hope nobody in here is that big :s
