IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2008-11-20
⏴ go to previous day
00:02:56 <AgentLeMan> cool :o) spares us from renaming
00:06:16 <Patrick> but I gues this advances it
00:29:06 <Eddi|zuHause> Patrick: this makes it customisable by GRF, like "XYZ factory", "XYZ Brewery" etc.

08:19:49 <Celestar> so .. how do I get to Paris. Train or Plane?
08:20:03 <dihedral> one is faster than the other
08:20:23 <dihedral> you could also take a coach
08:20:38 <Celestar> and what advantage would that be?
08:20:47 <dihedral> does not cost as much
08:20:52 <AgentLeMan> you take the train. then your luggage gets lost. that one then gets to paris by plane. ;o)
08:21:21 <dihedral> you lose your luggage on the train??
08:21:30 <Patrick> take a coach if you don't have a job that requires you to book holiday
08:21:39 <Patrick> it's an extra day either side and it's an adventure
08:21:57 <Patrick> but if you want to waste little time, fly
08:21:59 <dihedral> Celestar: where do you live? can you get to a TGV?
08:22:08 <Celestar> dihedral: but it takes 6.5 hours O_o
08:22:32 <Patrick> bloody hell, where do you live?
08:22:38 <dihedral> afaik, there is a direct route from stuttgart to paris
08:22:55 <Celestar> there is a direct TGV from Munich to Paris
08:22:56 <dihedral> the tgv will need about 3h
08:23:08 <Celestar> dihedral: 4 hours from Stuttgart, over 6 from Munich
08:23:12 * Celestar goes to lufthansa.com
08:23:20 <dihedral> then it's 3 from karlsruhe
08:23:28 <Celestar> 89 EUR for the flight. round-trip
08:23:32 <dihedral> Celestar: germanwings? easyjet? ba?
08:23:40 <Celestar> you won't get below 89 EUR
08:23:45 <dihedral> that's not bad at all actually
08:24:02 <Celestar> Train is about 130 EUR (special price)
08:24:08 <Celestar> BA? I'm not going via london :P
08:24:24 <dihedral> ba should have a direct route..... iirc
08:24:42 <dihedral> but then prob not from munich :-P
08:24:45 <Celestar> dba? That's Air Berlin meanwhile
08:25:30 <Celestar> not many LCCs in Munich. too rich a city :P
08:26:37 <Celestar> hm .. total price for the LH ticket is actually 99 EUR :P
08:27:09 <Celestar> we really need that Stuttgart 21 and the NBS Stuttgart-Ulm. BADLY.
08:27:40 <Celestar> meh. the TGV doesn't stop in München-Pasing either.
08:27:55 <Celestar> that adds another 20 minutes for me.
08:29:29 <Celestar> O_o the incremental backup of the /home directory took 7 hours
08:34:26 <Patrick> nbs I read as n-bromo succinimide
08:34:43 <Celestar> Patrick: IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager
08:35:02 <Celestar> NBS=Neubaustrecke :P
08:43:48 <Celestar> heh. ORD is back to 7 active runways effective today \o/
08:45:38 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
09:02:31 <Celestar> German wikipedia doesn't support that number of runways :P
09:06:56 <Celestar> well, the template only supports n runways.
09:07:02 <Celestar> with n < number_I_need.
09:08:42 <blathijs> Somehow I feel you might not be referring to the long lanes of asphalt on which planes land, when you say "runway"
09:09:06 <Celestar> I'm trying to add ORD's newest runway to the German wikipedia entry.
09:09:16 <Celestar> and this requires me to recode the template O_o
09:15:14 <Celestar> I've no idea about this scripting system
09:17:13 <petern> where's the template? heh
09:21:49 *** lobster_MB has joined #openttd
09:23:30 <petern> it does appear to go from 1 to 7, though
09:23:42 <Celestar> but there's an 8th runway (which is decommissioned)
09:36:35 <Patrick> ot's all in bloody german
09:37:59 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
09:38:40 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
09:43:15 <Celestar> in vmstat, what's the "processes in uninteruptible sleep?"
09:59:50 <Brianetta> Just replaced my ageing DMUs with Costar Hydras (:

10:13:31 <petern> ukrs gets a bit tedious in the later years
10:16:47 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
10:31:35 * SpComb is discussing OpenTTD IPv6 with a some other person on another channel
10:32:10 <SpComb> as my origional patch half a year ago kind of failed due to trying to solve too many of the problems at once
10:35:07 <Brianetta> petern: Well, one could always find and load a future trains set in addition
10:47:03 <petern> silly dos/windows, using the universal escape character as a directory separator...
10:50:59 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
10:51:09 <Celestar> heh .. the server load is a good indicator when the colleagues are heading for lunch :P
10:52:33 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
11:01:20 <SpComb> does OpenTTD compile on win2k?
11:02:01 <Rubidium> if you can install a supported compiler on win2k, then yes
11:03:29 <SpComb> the wiki also lists 95/98/ME/NT
11:03:46 <SpComb> is the code tested to actually be portable enough to compile on all of those?
11:03:47 <Rubidium> compile on != compile for
11:04:06 <SpComb> well, compile for using that platform's system headers
11:04:40 <Rubidium> well, we can build binaries that work on windows 95
11:04:41 * SpComb doesn't know how portability across releases works in the windows world
11:05:03 <SpComb> is it a single .exe that runs on vista, xp, 2k, 98, 95?
11:05:05 <yorick> what's the difference between _current_company and _local_company?
11:05:50 <Rubidium> yes, however... the win9x build doesn't include unicode and the win32 build does
11:06:02 <Rubidium> making the win32 build incompatible with win9x
11:06:18 <yorick> SpComb, I think 95,98 binaries should work everywhere, and nt builds only on nt
11:06:21 <Rubidium> though the win9x binaries do work on windows NT
11:08:17 <SpComb> mostly wondering in terms of IPv6 support
11:08:38 <Rubidium> oh... then I've got absolutely no clue
11:08:57 <SpComb> we were discussing strategies for getting IPv6 support into trunk
11:11:09 <yorick> I think only xp and vista would support ipv6
11:11:35 <Brianetta> yorick: and Linux and OS X couldn't?
11:11:48 <yorick> talking about the windows flavours here
11:11:52 <SpComb> the code would just have to be very platform-dependant, and testing it would be a pain
11:11:58 <SpComb> *BSD IPv6 is also different
11:12:11 <petern> yorick, _current_company is the current company, _local_company is the local company
11:12:37 <yorick> what's the difference between a local and a current company?
11:12:52 <petern> one is the local company, and the other is the current company
11:14:00 <Brianetta> yorick can't tell nearby from timely...
11:14:44 <petern> network scan works better with the correct ip range
11:15:03 * petern apologises to the owner of 16.0.0/24
11:15:03 <Brianetta> I like to scan 0.0.0.0/0
11:15:42 <petern> Brianetta, how long does it take?
11:16:13 <Brianetta> petern: I'll tell you when it's finished
11:16:28 <Brianetta> Been waiting a while now
11:16:29 <Rubidium> SpComb: IPv6 is supported since Windows 2000 SP1
11:32:25 <Rubidium> I can't find anything about how to check whether IPv6 is available or not on Windows
11:32:34 <Rubidium> and leave alone whether it's actually usable
11:33:50 <fjb> IPv6 is availlable on Windows and usable, at least on XP and later.
11:34:36 <Rubidium> usable meaning that you don't only have an IPv6 address, but that you can actually create an IPv6 connection outside of the computer itself
11:35:38 <SpComb> XP doesn't do dual-stack very well
11:35:54 <SpComb> you'd need two sockets (AF_INET+AF_INET6) to run a dual-stack server
11:36:08 <Brianetta> Simplest to assume it's unavailable unless enabled by a human
11:36:35 <SpComb> under linux (and vista?) you can receieve IPv4-mapped connections on IPv6 sockets listening on ::
11:39:23 <SpComb> in an ideal world, OpenTTD would support listening on multiple sockets, being able to connect to one of multiple addresses for a single server, and capable of advertising multiple addresses for a single server in the masterserver
11:39:48 <SpComb> but implementing all of that is too big of a patch to accept into trunk in one go
11:40:04 *** StarLionIsaac has joined #openttd
11:40:07 <SpComb> need to define some kind of minimal level of IPv6 support and try and get that working properly
11:40:20 <Rubidium> the masterserver is going to be a problem too
11:40:36 <SpComb> yes, the list of servers also grows
11:41:03 <Rubidium> not that, but rather the testing whether a server is online
11:41:20 <SpComb> well, it would need to test each address induvidually
11:41:34 <Rubidium> yes... and testing IPv6 is *the* problem
11:42:03 <SpComb> my patch had the servers send separate IPv4 and IPv6 advertisement packets, and the masterserver updater then tested both, iirc
11:42:19 <Rubidium> getting an IPv6 address is ridiculously expensive
11:42:35 <SpComb> you mean getting IPv6 connectivity for the masterserver?
11:43:02 <SpComb> well, it just depends on where you go
11:43:15 <SpComb> and you can get IPv4 tunnels for free, and they work plenty well enough
11:44:11 <SpComb> saying "an IPv6 address is ridiculously expensive" isn't really correct, some providers will give you IPv6 connectvity, others won't
11:44:11 <Rubidium> does that work the reverse way too? That is connecting to an IPv6 address behind a tunnel
11:44:16 <SpComb> paying extra for it is weird
11:44:45 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
11:44:58 <Brianetta> NAT on domestic routers killed IPv6
11:45:00 <Rubidium> we would need to pay to get an IPv6 address (and quite a lot)
11:45:23 <SpComb> do you have an URL or something for that?
11:45:26 <Brianetta> Rubidium: Does your network have an IPv6 route?
11:46:01 <Brianetta> Early adopters tend to subsidise the infrastructure for the rest of us
11:47:16 <SpComb> I've never heard of an induvidual customer paying $$$ for an IPv6 address
11:47:33 <SpComb> more a question of a network deploying IPv6, and then all hosts on that network getting it
11:47:47 <SpComb> it would be ridiculous to demand that a single customer pays for provisioning IPv6 to the entire network
11:47:58 <Brianetta> SpComb: Just a share
11:48:28 <SpComb> Rubidium: again, what's your provider, and do you have some kind of link or other source for that expensive-IPv6 statement?
11:48:32 <Brianetta> ISP buys new kit, and only increases charges for customers who plan to use it.
11:49:02 <Rubidium> SpComb: the provider is on all openttd pages
11:49:43 <Rubidium> and I'm trying to get you a link for the pricing as I don't intend to show you the contract
11:53:14 <SpComb> although it doesn't seem to be very good
11:54:37 <SpComb> but it's some leaseweb guy talking about IPv6
11:54:50 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
11:55:49 <Brianetta> Rubidium: Awww )-: We paid for that contract
11:57:14 <Rubidium> well, it's the best we could find and we didn't need IPv6
11:57:40 <Rubidium> SpComb: but they aren't talking about the costs...
11:59:51 <SpComb> my main point was that leaseweb already has full IPv6 connectivity
12:00:21 <SpComb> so it seems odd that they would charge large amounts for actually using it
12:01:56 <SpComb> hence I'd be interested to know how they express that
12:02:19 <SpComb> weird, seems like they don't have reverse-DNS delegated for their /32 prefix
12:02:32 <Rubidium> Daarnaast kunnen wij je IPv6 aanbieden voor EUR 25,00/maand. Je krijgt
12:03:32 <SpComb> I doubt very many people are going to pay some commercial colo provider such a significant sum per month for IPv6 connectvity >_<
12:03:41 <SpComb> I wonder what they were thinking
12:03:52 <petern> covering costs, probably
12:04:09 <SpComb> people either chose a colo with native IPV6 included in the price, or they don't care enough about it to pay 25€/m extra as an afterthought
12:04:12 <petern> routers that support ipv6 are generally very expensive
12:05:06 <SpComb> if they charge 25€/m for induvidual dedicated servers, I'm doubt very many customers will be interested
12:05:24 <petern> i can't upgrade to ipv6 because we can't justify the cost
12:05:47 <Brianetta> I pay nearly £50 a month for colocation )-:
12:06:24 <petern> Brianetta, but not €25/m extra for ipv6...
12:10:58 <SpComb> it's a kind of self-fufilling prophecy, nobody wants IPv6 -> charge induvidual customers 25€/m -> nobody wants IPv6
12:11:02 <SpComb> IPv6 is full of those :(
12:11:51 <petern> i'd guess it would cost us at least £15,000 to replace non-ipv6 capable kit
12:12:35 <petern> i'll work on it slowly
12:13:05 <SpComb> well, I gather IPv6 support on modern infrastructure equipment is pretty good
12:13:15 <petern> yes, but it's not cheap
12:13:23 <fjb> In about 3 years IPv4 space will be exhausted.
12:13:24 <Brianetta> Domestic kit doesn't often support it
12:13:34 <SpComb> is that non-ipv6 capable kit too old or too cheap?
12:13:36 <Brianetta> fjb: Wishful thinking
12:13:51 <Brianetta> New cheap stuff or old expensive stuff.
12:13:55 <Brianetta> I have examples of both.
12:14:01 <SpComb> Brianetta: well, in domestic kit it's a question of software, my Buffalo WRT-G54S cost 40€ and supports IPv6 just fine
12:14:05 <SpComb> after I installed OpenWRT on it
12:14:14 <Brianetta> Yeah, OpenWRT does it
12:14:26 <SpComb> I guess hardware routing support for IPv6 packets is more expensive, though
12:14:32 <Brianetta> but then, it's a geek-driven project
12:14:44 <petern> writing off £30,000 of kit just because it doesn't support ipv6 is not easy
12:14:56 <petern> of course, it's not worth that now, heh
12:15:12 <SpComb> but I was under the impression that if you buy a new router today, you'll get IPv6 support "for free"
12:15:17 <welshdragon> :o Brianetta used the G word...
12:15:49 <SpComb> although I've also heard how juniper charges extra license costs for IPv6 support... stupid USA government IPv6 thing...
12:16:28 <petern> that's easy to say when you don't look at price lists :)
12:17:01 <SpComb> so the reasoning that I understand is that no, you don't replace 30k€ worth of equipment just to add IPv6 support, but no, you don't spend 30k€ on new equipment if it doesn't support IPv6
12:19:38 <SpComb> hmm... I also recall someone discussing replicating the OpenTTD masterserver at some point a long time ago (several years ago)
12:19:42 <SpComb> i.e. having multiple masterservers
12:20:51 <petern> i do have some... er... "obtained" IOS software upgrades that feature ipv6 support
12:21:22 <petern> just need to upgrade flash and memory of routers, then

12:22:50 <Brianetta> If Bill Gates put all of his money under his mattress, and then fell out of bed, it would take him 18 minutes to hit the floor. If the floor was receding at the standard rate of interest, he'd never hit it.
12:24:42 <Brianetta> He has so much money it defies gravity.
12:25:25 <petern> surely that depends on the denominations used...
12:27:07 <petern> i still haven't found anyone who'll actually sell me legal ios upgrades...
12:27:57 <Gekz> petern: I love "obtaining" ios upgrades
12:28:01 <Gekz> they're hard to come by nowadays
12:28:12 <Gekz> my 834W said it supported ADSL2 on the box
12:28:17 <Gekz> yeah, not with the version of IOS it had

13:39:49 <yorick> connection spam spam spam spam
13:41:14 * fjb takes all the spam and delivers it to a far away town gaining a lot of money.
13:43:34 <SpComb> the delivery value of spam is negative
13:44:11 <Brianetta> It's zero return, except for one in 12 million
13:44:17 <Brianetta> which is the pay-off (:
13:45:00 <Mark17> hello, is somewhere the following file available: the original megarail level
13:45:22 <SpComb> your stations' spam rating goes up with time, and down when you deliver it
13:45:40 <dihedral> Mark17: megarail level?
13:45:53 <SpComb> but mail cars carry both normal mail and spam
13:46:06 <SpComb> so if someone builds a spam factory next to your station, you lose
13:48:25 <Ammler> I did not found the properity for disallow forest below snowline, might that be, it isn't a GRF setting?
13:50:00 <Rubidium> Ammler: see it as the "can build industry here?"-callback
13:50:51 <Mark17> dihedral: it was a level in the original ttd for as far as i know and also it mentioned multiple times on the ttforum. it is something like the scotland 1956 level
13:51:12 <Mark17> a scenario, but with all ready started players
13:51:26 <Mark17> it makes live a litle bit more difficult ;)
13:51:40 <Ammler> Rubidium: so I would need to "ignore" that CB
13:52:19 <dihedral> and Mark17: there are no levels :-D there are scenarios and save games
13:54:27 <Mark17> dihedral: well do you have that save game or scenario?
13:54:49 <Rubidium> prop 08 copies all settings except the "callback", so I guess you need to use that
13:55:11 <dihedral> not as far as i know
13:55:19 <Ammler> Rubidium: try that, thanks.
13:55:22 <dihedral> like i said - you might find it on the cd
13:57:45 <Mark17> well i dont have the original cd anymore
14:08:30 <Mark17> i am just trying to find it with google

14:19:04 <tokai> shouldn't orudge kicked instead? :)

14:31:13 <dihedral> petern: you mind giving me a wee bit more info?
14:31:48 <Rubidium> Brianetta: can you forbid someone in e.g. China to host child porn? But the English can forbid you downloading that.
14:32:13 <Rubidium> or instead of downloading it linking to it
14:33:35 <dihedral> Rubidium: however, posting a valid domain name, and pointing out a menu?
14:33:58 <dihedral> i did not link to a file, i did not provide a full url
14:34:19 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
14:36:38 <dihedral> you prefer me providing a link to google result page?
14:36:53 * dihedral hates unspoken rules
14:40:03 <tokai> Rubidium: but in this case the chinese child porn hoster has english citizenship and even works for the English state... and one would expect that he has to satisfy the English law then (speaking in the metaphor of your example) :)
14:43:58 <Rubidium> it still falls outside of "our" control
14:49:10 <tokai> Rubidium: not really. in case it gets found out by the press such person quickly would get sacked from its job for the English state:) Anyway... I really don't care if orudge hosts the files or not (when "I couldn't read my old TTD floppy disks anymore" I got the files from his site too ;) But we can't kick out people just indirectly refering the OpenTTD support site of a OpenTTD developer who is op on the #openttd channel for this reason.
14:49:10 <tokai> This just doesn't feel right... you should use same standards for your developers as you use for your users at least. Either turn a blind eye when such questions happen or ask orudge to clean his homepage from illegal material. Just my POV.
14:50:19 <Brianetta> Regardless of everything Rubidium just said, it's still a blatant double standard.
14:53:53 <welshdragon> yep, i agree with Brianetta

16:07:54 <yorick> who's idea was it to make depots use TransportType instead of VehicleType?
16:08:13 <yorick> || are there any conversion functions?
16:08:59 <planetmaker> yorick: because a maglev train cannot enter a non-electric rail train. But all are trains.
16:09:11 <planetmaker> err... non-electric depot.
16:09:32 <yorick> hm, hadn't thought about that
16:10:06 <planetmaker> always good to have external memory storage, eh? ;)
16:11:05 <yorick> huh, it doesn't even use it anymore?
16:20:26 <yorick> planetmaker, checked again, not a good explanation
16:20:55 <yorick> VehicleType: VEH_TRAIN, VEH_ROAD, VEH_SHIP, VEH_AIRCRAFT
16:21:10 <yorick> TransportType: TRANSPORT_RAIL, TRANSPORT_ROAD, TRANSPORT_WATER, TRANSPORT_AIR

16:45:59 <Fantasya> 3 years, 1 month, 10 days, and some hours left to end of the world :)
16:46:58 <Aali> which end of the world are you refering to?
16:47:08 <yorick> the world ends in 2011?
16:48:35 <CIA-5> OpenTTD: frosch * r14599 /trunk/src/vehicle_gui.cpp: -Fix (r14598)[FS#2417]: Show again group-membership in the vehicle-lists. (Based on patch by PhilSophus)

16:53:36 <SmatZ> yorick: Mayan calendar ends on 31. 12. 2011
16:54:06 <SmatZ> The end of the Mayan calendar falls on December 21, 2012
16:55:20 <frosch123> how about sheduling ottd 1.0 for the 22nd ?
16:55:58 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
16:56:00 <SpComb> how many calendars have ended so far?
16:58:58 <DASPRiD> the maya calendar ends in 4 years
16:59:26 <frosch123> my new favorite website by the way ^^
17:01:29 <frosch123> "calendar" is even better :/
17:01:55 <Belugas> mayans were fans of the number 4. Due to that infactuation, their maths made it so that the fourth era of their history had to stop one day, and that day is what most idiots think is the endo the world
17:02:15 <Belugas> and since there was no 5th era well...
17:02:33 <yorick> and they're dead now, so they can't add one :p
17:02:45 <Fantasya> WW - 3 will destroy 3/4 world
17:03:26 <SmatZ> frosch123: hahaha nice site
17:04:28 <frosch123> saw it on ehrensenf, but that might not mean anything to you :)

21:36:30 <AgentLeMan> yorick, i think, it has to do with rounding up or down money. after searching for a half hour, im still not sure
21:37:25 <AgentLeMan> ah... dang, either oen has all thsoe join and quitmessages in the chat, or misses poeple
21:40:04 <planetmaker> there's a nick list, too. Autocompletion also doesn't work for nonexisting nicks :)
21:40:43 <AgentLeMan> hm, yes... shold have thought about that
21:57:44 <vpol> anybody knows if "Buy 25% shares" option is working?
22:09:39 <Eddi|zuHause> certainly somebody knows if the option is working
22:11:06 <Eddi|zuHause> buying shares may be greyed out, if the company is younger than 5 years
22:11:18 <Eddi|zuHause> or, if the option to allow shares is disabled in the setting
22:11:19 <fjb> You never know if software is working, at least as expected...
22:12:16 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, you can ensure that software is working, by running a fully exhaustive test over all possible inputs
22:12:28 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
22:13:14 <vpol> Eddi|zuHause: my company is over 100 years, and i can't find where to enable/disable this option
22:13:20 <Eddi|zuHause> the usual problem at this point, though, is that the input set is typically infinite ;)
22:13:47 <Eddi|zuHause> vpol: their company, not yours
22:13:49 <vpol> fjb: it depends on what you are expecting from the program.
22:13:52 *** Celestar has joined #openttd
22:13:52 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Celestar
22:14:05 <vpol> Eddi|zuHause: their is over 100 too.
22:14:40 <AgentLeMan> vpol grins i expect nothing fomr windows...maybe thats why it doesnt "funtion" so i also "get" nothing ;o)
22:14:44 <Eddi|zuHause> assuming you run 0.6.3, it should be in the "Patch Settings" dialog, under the "Economy" tab
22:16:01 <Eddi|zuHause> in more recent (testing/nightly) versions, that should be renamed to "Advanced Settings"
22:17:46 <vpol> heh. i enabled it and bought 100% of computer's company in 5 seconds.
22:17:58 <vpol> it isn't so interesting as i expected.
22:18:12 <vpol> hmm... i'm really talking about expectation?
22:19:09 <AgentLeMan> vpol, it isnt :o) especially, if you buy a company with 100 trains and your own goes down the drain, becuase you have basically to rework all their tracks
22:19:23 <Eddi|zuHause> it is definitely not to be expected that a computer player actually lasted for 100 years :p
22:19:50 <Prof_Frink> Eddi|zuHause: It's called evolution.
22:20:01 <AgentLeMan> maybe he used a diff which includes lifeprolonging cryogenetics on the AI?
22:20:03 <Prof_Frink> The vast majority of AIs are useless and sie out
22:20:12 <vpol> i also found my "end game" option was disabled.
22:20:16 <Prof_Frink> Those that strike lucky survive
22:20:51 <Eddi|zuHause> single player games always "end" in 2050, but you can play on
22:21:25 <vpol> Eddi|zuHause: no it doesn't.
22:21:40 <vpol> Eddi|zuHause: i started in 2020 and now is 2170
22:21:50 <Eddi|zuHause> 2050 is when the highscore gets calculated
22:21:58 <vpol> no even message about "you should already die man!"
22:22:05 <Eddi|zuHause> the game can run to year 5000000 or so

22:23:06 <Prof_Frink> I had a ttdpatch game in 2400 or so with inflation on
22:23:14 <Prof_Frink> It was... interesting.
22:23:42 <Eddi|zuHause> inflation stops at some point in openttd
22:24:00 <vpol> Prof_Frink: playing with house mortgage is more interesting.
22:24:05 <Prof_Frink> Intraurban bus services were suffering from profit overflow.
22:25:13 <planetmaker> mortgage is repaid after 5 ... 15 years...
22:26:44 <planetmaker> at least it's easy to do in OpenTTD - but depends a bit on settings.
22:28:43 *** Yeggstry is now known as Yeggzzz
22:31:18 <Eddi|zuHause> i had profit overflow in TT once
22:31:55 <Eddi|zuHause> i solved it by building tunnels under the entire map, whose costs also overflowed
22:32:09 <Prof_Frink> Eddi|zuHause: No, not annual profit overflow.
22:32:17 <Prof_Frink> *each journey* was overflowing
22:32:32 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, i understand what you mean ;)
