02:01:51 <Wolle> I'm playing rcpp (r13691) with ecs - sombody knows how to transport petrol? ...petrol trains won't load...they wait and wait and wait and...
02:02:31 <Eddi|zuHause2> Wolle: custom builds are not supported here
02:03:25 <Eddi|zuHause2> there is a thread in the forum, maybe you can ask there
02:03:57 *** Mortal has quit IRC
02:06:06 <Wolle> ahh Eddi|zuHause2 i'm not looking for support...just for a hint
02:06:18 *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause
02:06:40 <Wolle> thread in the forum sounds good..but what i have to search for?
02:06:46 <glx> you need a train set that can transport petrol
02:07:51 <Wolle> i have a set that supports petrol... - i can refit it to it ...
02:08:11 <Wolle> but the trains won't load petrol...
02:10:55 <Wolle> ..i'm (almost) sure i've read all wikis and searched all forums but i couldn't find a solution
02:11:21 <glx> petrol != oil
02:11:36 <Wolle> yes? ...?
02:11:48 <Wolle> =yes! ...?
02:12:18 <glx> which set are you using?
02:12:55 <Wolle> what do you mean whith "set"? i'm usin rcpp with ecs
02:13:06 <glx> train grf
02:13:21 <Wolle> dbsetxl with ecs extension
02:14:06 <glx> then it should work
02:14:18 <Wolle> hm *grmpf*
02:14:24 <glx> try with a nightly
02:15:25 <Wolle> no the nightlies don't have the features i need more than petrol
02:15:32 *** baudchan has joined #openttd
02:15:52 <glx> but you can check if you can transport petrol
02:17:23 *** baudchan has quit IRC
02:17:24 <Wolle> that's right...you have one second? ...i'll getting the last nighly and set the options as in my game - could take 5 minutes...
02:18:54 <Wolle> in rcpp (r14239) transporting petrol won't work too, the trains stay at the stations for ages but won't load anything

02:55:03 <Wolle> Eddi|zuHause ...i'm playing a outdated version, in the latest build of rcpp the chemical plant won't produce petrol...i''ll update and add the missing feature to my "you have to implement list"...

04:24:14 <George> Rubidium: rid of actions 2? May be we do not need GRFs at all? :) In this case I'd suggest to stop viewing desync reason in the point of view for callbacks realisation. I mean CB question should be done regardless desync question, why desync qestion should be viewed on its own.
05:05:40 <Eddi|zuHause> George: that statement was highly exaggerated

12:07:11 *** Yeggzzz is now known as Yeggstry
12:08:45 <dihedral> petern: istall winssh
12:08:52 <dihedral> iirc it's sshwindows.sf.net
12:08:57 <dihedral> that might help
12:09:13 <dihedral> that's ssh via cygwin
12:09:22 <dihedral> and tortoise should be able to use that
12:09:47 <petern> er
12:10:07 <petern> it's supposed to work with putty keys by itself
12:12:29 <dihedral> oh
12:12:34 <dihedral> that's a bummmer
12:13:16 <Alberth> petern: If you don't mind using a free version of a commercial product, smartsvn is known to work (at my work many Win* users use it to access our svn repositories).
12:13:32 <petern> i just used anonymous access in the end :p

12:18:25 <Rubidium> petern: if Belugas can set it up, you should be able to too ;)
12:20:32 <petern> :/
12:20:36 <petern> it works for putty :/

12:24:07 <petern> oh for the love of apt...
12:29:08 <petern> this dxsdk installer is really shit
12:29:31 <petern> how many times does it really need to unpack an archive... :o
12:31:53 <petern> gah, dxguid.lib missing :o
12:34:23 * dihedral pats his mac
12:34:28 <dihedral> things can be so easy
12:35:39 <petern> fucking thing
12:36:29 <petern> turns out the mar 2008 sdk was already installed
12:36:40 <petern> so i downloaded and installed 460MB of aug 2007 sdk for no reason
12:36:59 <petern> just that the paths were set up in msvc
12:37:11 <petern> when i know they have been done automatically in the past
12:41:43 <yorick> is there any GetSignalDirectionFromTrack function?
12:44:26 <dihedral> did you grep?
12:44:33 <Eddi|zuHause> any such function would most probably be found in rail_func.h
12:45:19 <yorick> yes, I did grep
12:45:54 <yorick> and there is no rail_func.h
12:46:18 <Alberth> is there any value for such a function? (I can drive in any direction on any track as long as I don't pass a signal)
12:46:58 <yorick> there is if you want to draw/read
12:47:28 *** Hirundo has joined #openttd
12:49:09 <Eddi|zuHause> yorick: sorry, track_func.h
12:49:20 <Eddi|zuHause> or something
12:49:24 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe rail.h
12:49:46 <yorick> rather some _map.h file

12:53:25 *** Hirundo is now known as Swallow
12:56:13 * petern ponders this acceleration thingy
12:56:50 <petern> mass (kg) * speed (mph) * coeff = resistance in N (but * 4 for some reason?)
12:57:04 *** Tim has quit IRC
13:01:39 <dihedral> petern, "and then a lot of magic occurs right here" :-P
13:02:25 <petern> s/magic/shit/, perhaps
13:05:05 <Eddi|zuHause> that is exactly the kind of problem that occurs when code quality is not checked properly and patches are included too early
13:05:08 <petern> dihedral, for instance, why is engine power involved in braking at all?
13:05:41 <dihedral> can one not break with the engine?
13:05:48 <dihedral> but i guess not on trains
13:05:53 <dihedral> works nicely in cars
13:05:59 *** Wolf01 has joined #openttd
13:06:02 *** Digitalfox_ has quit IRC
13:06:06 <dihedral> going 100mph? put in the first gear see what happens :-D
13:06:12 <Eddi|zuHause> dihedral: they can, but mechanical brakes are independent from engine power
13:06:18 <dihedral> yep
13:06:20 <Wolf01> hello
13:06:24 <dihedral> hi Wolf01
13:06:40 <Eddi|zuHause> modern engines have regenerative brakes, for example
13:06:42 <dihedral> weight, speed, and break power?
13:06:49 <dihedral> (overall total)
13:07:20 <dihedral> i.e. mass :-P
13:07:28 <dihedral> anyway
13:07:29 <dihedral> heading out
13:07:45 <Eddi|zuHause> there might be "unbroken" (:p) axle
13:07:46 <Eddi|zuHause> s
13:08:16 <Eddi|zuHause> e.g. early freight wagons in UKRS
13:08:27 <Eddi|zuHause> which is the entire reason for attaching a braking wagon
13:11:19 *** Swallow has quit IRC
13:12:39 <petern> hmm
13:15:34 *** yorick has quit IRC
13:15:40 <Eddi|zuHause> may i propose a model for track inclination?
13:15:45 <Eddi|zuHause> http://paste.openttd.org/178325
13:16:20 <Eddi|zuHause> where / means a sloped track, and _ means a flat straight track
13:16:55 <Eddi|zuHause> i.e. to have 1% incline you cannot have curves or switches in 3 tiles radius
13:17:41 <Eddi|zuHause> (it should then tell this inclination in the query window)
13:19:26 <Eddi|zuHause> or possibly the last track bit might be curved. so that a curve right before and after the slope would fall into the 3% case
13:20:31 *** Dred_furst has joined #openttd
13:25:28 <petern> hmm
13:25:35 <petern> what about
13:25:38 <petern> ___
13:25:40 <petern> \___
13:25:45 <petern> \___
13:25:57 <petern> is that 2 * 1% slopes?
13:26:24 <Eddi|zuHause> yes
13:26:31 *** glx has joined #openttd
13:26:32 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v glx
13:26:34 <Eddi|zuHause> i didn't want to make the check too complicated
13:27:03 <Eddi|zuHause> with this version, you would check at most 6 additional tiles to determine the slope incline
13:33:36 *** KritiK has joined #openttd
13:36:05 <petern> hmm
13:36:08 <petern> i can simplify this
13:36:16 <petern> and make the units make sense
13:37:29 <petern> and fix the air drag bug, i think
13:37:48 <petern> and resistance... assuming i'm reading this properly
13:38:05 <petern> which i'm not
13:38:06 <petern> never mind
13:38:27 <petern> damn it, msvc can apply code changes while running
13:40:04 <petern> i don't understand the conversion from km/h to mph
13:40:14 <petern> these equations are simpler with km/h
13:40:29 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC
13:40:34 <petern> km/h to m/s being a simple * 3.6
13:40:44 <petern> er, / 3.6 :)
13:41:20 <petern> oh yes, that's it, game units are not km/h
13:41:22 <petern> le sigh
13:43:17 *** Progman has quit IRC
13:43:35 <Eddi|zuHause> i really thing that we should just define 1 mile == 1.6km throughout the entire game, and declare all internal units as being km
13:44:46 * Rubidium already assigns Eddi|zuHause to the bug reports that'll come from that change
13:45:03 <Eddi|zuHause> but apparently that "breaks" newgrf compatibility, as those expect units to be in miles/1.6, not km
13:45:20 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, i know this has been tried before :p
13:45:53 <Eddi|zuHause> but i think that is one of the "overzealous realism" instances
13:46:08 <petern> internal units should be m/s
13:46:21 <petern> unfortunately that requires integer magic
13:56:25 <petern> there
13:56:35 <petern> sanitized it slight *and* with less maths...
13:57:27 <petern> +lyu
13:57:28 <petern> -u
13:57:29 <petern> sigh
14:00:46 *** Mortal has joined #openttd
14:06:58 <petern> hmm
14:07:05 <petern> of course, now the train is much slower..
14:09:04 *** evandar_ has quit IRC
14:11:42 <petern> which makes little sense, as air drag is much lower
14:12:21 <Eddi|zuHause> you broke the deep magic
14:12:31 <Eddi|zuHause> it is punishing you
14:12:35 <petern> :(
14:12:57 <petern> i fail to see any conversion compensating for speed being in the wrong units twice
14:15:17 <petern> can somebody please explain resistance *= 4 [N]
14:15:20 <petern> and mass * 4 later on...
14:16:01 <petern> and also 60 = 3%
14:16:08 <petern> (i could try working that one out though)
14:19:58 <petern> according to MB it's simply mass * 3% * 10N
14:20:08 <petern> (so 3% is 30, not 60)
14:24:12 <Eddi|zuHause> i think the effect of slopes was way too low in the past
14:24:19 *** yorick has joined #openttd
14:24:46 <edeca> yorick: Afternoon
14:25:14 <Eddi|zuHause> as cool an engine the E94 (Crocodile) is, it should not be able to pull 2000t trains uphill
14:25:58 <yorick> afternoon
14:26:30 <yorick> edeca: I've been working on the gui somewhat, the code looks better now
14:26:32 <edeca> yorick: I think I've simplified the signal copying now to one FOR_EACH_BIT_SET, but I don't have my data files here to test it ;)
14:26:45 <edeca> yorick: It compiles, but I can play
14:26:57 <petern> force = min(force, mass * 10 * 200);
14:27:01 <edeca> yorick: Oh nice. Perhaps if we're both going to work on it we should decide on tasks :)
14:27:01 <petern> ^ and what is that for?
14:27:13 <edeca> petern: It keeps the flux capacitor oiled
14:27:31 <petern> i'm guessing it was to limit TE before max_TE was done
14:27:53 <edeca> yorick: What have you modified so far?
14:28:34 <yorick> fixed the signals, made the command queue have its own tick call, replaced some stuff by SB
14:32:33 <yorick> and I'm currently getting it to copy all signal types on a tile
14:32:34 *** Mortal is now known as Guest52
14:32:37 *** mortal has joined #openttd
14:33:26 <edeca> oh, you fixed signals?
14:33:38 <yorick> yeah, it actually pastes pbs again :)
14:34:20 <yorick> the bad news: not enough bits to store semaphore type for both signals
14:35:52 <edeca> Well the save format needs an overhaul
14:36:05 <edeca> Perhaps we should make a wiki page and document the format
14:36:21 <edeca> Did you fix the signal copying? I've done that too
14:36:31 <edeca> And we could divide tasks on the wiki too ;)
14:38:20 *** roboboy has quit IRC
14:38:45 <edeca> Compression should be easy for the files on disk, lzo is already used
14:39:02 <yorick> no lzo, zlib ;)
14:39:19 <yorick> uint16 doesn't actually have bit 16, does it :/
14:39:40 *** Guest52 has quit IRC
14:40:16 <yorick> (if you start at 0)
14:40:19 <edeca> No :)
14:40:25 <yorick> meh
14:40:27 <edeca> You need 1 extra bit for semaphore?
14:40:28 <dihedral> idiot!
14:40:52 <yorick> dihedral: just put me on ignore then, thank you
14:41:04 <edeca> So anyway, have you modified the signal copying? Or do you want me to pastebin what I've done so you can try it
14:41:05 <dihedral> no - that would be making it too easy for you
14:41:16 <yorick> edeca: no, I actually need 1 extra bit for the signal type :(
14:41:18 <dihedral> just because you dont want me to comment on stupid stuff you say :-P
14:41:37 <edeca> dihedral: Do you have any cheese?
14:41:41 <dihedral> why dont you put _me_ on _your_ ignore list, if you dont like hearing what i say to your stuff?
14:42:03 <yorick> good one, thank you, done that
14:42:30 <dihedral> you are most welcome
14:42:54 <yorick> ah well then, goodbye semaphores :p
14:42:59 <edeca> Haha!
14:43:03 <edeca> Good solution.
14:43:11 *** nekx has joined #openttd
14:43:20 <edeca> What's wrong with the current solution that uses a bool for semaphore?
14:43:46 <dihedral> the funny thing is, yorick has the bad habit of reading the logs when someone is on his ignore list, because he feels i might be missing something
14:43:59 <dihedral> and the feeling of missing out, is something he really does not like
14:44:07 <yorick> that there isn't enough space to store both signal types
14:44:27 <edeca> Ah, I see.
14:44:34 <edeca> So you *have* modified the copy code?
14:44:39 <edeca> Are we going to get to the bottom of that? ;)
14:44:43 <dihedral> and now he will not even dare commenting what i have said, even though he is reading the logs at thegrebs.com :-P
14:44:49 <petern> dihedral
14:44:52 <dihedral> and pressing F5 every 3 seconds
14:44:56 <dihedral> petern
14:44:58 <petern> tell me what resistance = 13 * mass / 10 is supposed to be
14:44:59 <petern> and then
14:45:26 <petern> tell me what 60 * number of axles is supposed to be
14:45:49 * edeca pokes yorick
14:46:04 <yorick> edeca: quite a bit :p
14:46:17 <dihedral> 60 is the power of the break per axle?
14:46:27 <yorick> at least in such a way that breaks template compatibility twice
14:46:30 <petern> no, general resistance, friction, etc
14:46:35 <dihedral> nice
14:46:37 <petern> it's always there
14:46:40 <dihedral> ok
14:46:56 <dihedral> and you wanna store to each wagon how many axles it has?
14:46:57 <petern> (except that number of axles is actually number of wagons)
14:47:02 <dihedral> oh
14:47:03 <dihedral> ok
14:47:10 <petern> no, that would be easy
14:47:14 <edeca> yorick: Well shall we make a plan of who will do what then? And some documentation for the format?
14:47:18 <petern> what is the 60, and what is the 1.3?
14:47:22 <yorick> yeah
14:47:40 * petern ponders looking at the ancient floating point implementation
14:48:01 <dihedral> lbs or newton for the 60 (wild guess - i have honestly not the listest, atm)
14:48:34 <edeca> yorick: On the wiki? Or where?
14:48:41 <yorick> just on the wiki is fine
14:49:10 <dihedral> for the 1.3 ...... enlighten me? where'd you get it from?
14:50:37 <dihedral> actually it looks like having unbreaked wagons could turn out to be a huge amount of fun
14:50:52 <petern> ahhhhhhh
14:51:01 <petern> dihedral: 13 * blah / 10 = blah * 1.3
14:51:29 <petern> celestar should know it all, he committed this realistic acceleration ;)
14:51:33 <glx> maybe 1.3 is steel on steel, but I can't find it
14:51:37 <dihedral> petern, yes - i am aware of that, thank you
14:51:58 <petern> okay
14:52:02 <petern> i'm getting the 1.3 from the CODE
14:52:06 <petern> http://hg.openttd.org/openttd/trunk.hg/rev/ce0a75460808
14:52:06 <edeca> yorick: http://wiki.openttd.org/wiki/index.php/Build_Templates
14:52:11 <dihedral> that's what i wanted to know
14:52:20 <Eddi|zuHause> once upon a time i had a Tafelwerk...
14:52:43 <yorick> k
14:53:45 <dihedral> G?
14:53:48 <dihedral> :P
14:54:06 <Eddi|zuHause> last time i know i had it was the physics/electronics practice course
14:54:15 <Eddi|zuHause> that was in the 3rd semester
14:54:23 <dihedral> anyway - have to catch a bus
14:54:48 <edeca> yorick: So what are you working on? Care to upload an svn diff so I can check it out?
14:54:49 <Eddi|zuHause> have a good hunt ;)
14:54:51 <petern> hehe, the old realistic acceleration had max_te...
14:55:13 <yorick> edeca: care if it's a hg diff?
14:55:26 <edeca> yorick: Well 'a diff' that I can apply to trunk
14:55:39 <yorick> yep
14:55:41 <petern> glx: rolling resistance for steel is listed as 0.0002 to 0.001
14:55:49 <petern> according to wikipedia
14:55:54 <Eddi|zuHause> really, i think that function should be completely ripped out, and cleanly developed from the proper maths
14:56:05 <Eddi|zuHause> not by dirty pseudo-optimisation hacks
14:56:06 <yorick> ooh, it shaved 20kb of the size already
14:56:11 <Eddi|zuHause> which are not even commented
14:56:32 <edeca> yorick: Well if you've compressed some of the copying, I'm not surprised
14:57:07 <petern> Eddi|zuHause, it is mostly proper maths, just the units are confused
14:57:14 <yorick> http://senduit.com/e879a3
14:57:15 <petern> for instance
14:57:18 <petern> i've now got...
14:57:28 <petern> /* Air drag */
14:57:33 <petern> int ad = area * drag_coeff * speed * speed;
14:57:39 <petern> ad /= 128099; // Conversion of speed ^ 2 from 1.6mph to m/s, and then /10000
14:57:43 <petern> which is still magic
14:57:46 <petern> but commented magic
14:58:03 *** Progman has joined #openttd
14:58:22 <edeca> yorick: Did you check the patch I had uploaded to the forums?
14:58:23 <petern> you'd need floats for doing it all in m/s, which we can't do
14:58:49 <Eddi|zuHause> doesn't that risk overflow?
14:58:52 <yorick> edeca: not yet
14:58:58 <yorick> andthing new in it?
14:59:21 <petern> yes, for very high speed
14:59:34 <Eddi|zuHause> well, probably not... i don't think trains will get significantly close to speed of sound (~1000km/h)
14:59:44 <edeca> yorick: Well no. But we're duplicating effort quite obviously, which seems pointless. So we either need to decide who does what or I'll just let you get on with it until you get bored.
15:00:12 <petern> we can use int64 if we needed to
15:04:05 <edeca> yorick: Right, your copying code is a little cleaner than mine (but mine uses FOR_EACH_BIT_SET which Rubidium suggested)
15:04:13 <edeca> yorick: What would you like me to look at later? :)
15:04:48 <yorick> no idea
15:05:11 <edeca> Compression for saved templates?
15:05:25 <yorick> yes :)
15:05:40 <yorick> and the templates might need some kind of versioning
15:05:47 <edeca> OK. Now don't go and randomly do it in the meantime!
15:05:53 <yorick> :p
15:06:46 <edeca> Yes, we do need versioning really. But until you finish fiddling, we should just stick with version 1 :P
15:07:40 <yorick> copying stations might need the distant join stations patch
15:08:05 <edeca> I'll look at how the game does it, but versioning should just be an integer in the template header, right?
15:08:11 <yorick> yes
15:08:20 <edeca> Which means it *needs* a header :)
15:08:25 <yorick> it has one
15:08:28 <edeca> Oh, nice.
15:08:31 <yorick> currently "TMPL"
15:09:01 <Rubidium> files should always use a header to identify it; just using the extension is usually not enough
15:09:23 * yorick is gone
15:09:24 <edeca> Oh I see, it modifies saveload.cpp for that
15:09:29 <edeca> Rubidium: That makes sense

15:10:02 <edeca> Which dampens my enthusiasm slightly :)
15:10:11 <glx> hehe :)
15:10:23 <Rubidium> he dampens *everybody's* enthusiasm
15:10:37 <edeca> Perhaps I'll cure cancer instead, or something else that's easy in the evenings.
15:12:05 <edeca> Well I hate things being duplicated. I don't have enough time in my life for that ;)

15:23:37 <edeca> I'll set that up tonight too then.
15:23:43 <edeca> How does it work with syncing to trunk?
15:23:55 <edeca> i.e. can you sync to trunk and keep local patches easil
15:24:15 <yorick> yes, you can just use diff

15:36:49 *** darks has joined #openttd
15:37:37 <yorick> mmm, signals could be stored more efficiently
15:38:16 <edeca> yorick: What do you suggest
15:38:38 <yorick> there can only be signals on the direction of the track
15:39:07 <yorick> then you just have to store if there are 0, 1 or 2 signals on a tile
15:41:05 <Roujin> what about diagonal tracks?
15:41:15 <yorick> 2 signals?
15:41:51 <Roujin> ah you mean that with 2 signals
15:42:00 <yorick> ys
15:42:03 <Roujin> thought you mean one sided/ two sided ones
15:42:31 <Roujin> ok, then how do you differ between the two possible locations for one signal?
15:42:44 <yorick> predefined
15:43:07 <yorick> oh
15:43:08 <yorick> that
15:43:10 <yorick> mmm
15:43:55 <yorick> 10 = signal at left/top, 01 = signal at right/bottom, 00 = no signal, 11 = signals everywhere
15:44:05 <yorick> :)
15:44:21 <Roujin> and how is it stored currently?
15:44:35 <yorick> on the copy paste array
15:44:43 <yorick> 5 bits used for every trackbit
15:45:08 <yorick> I think it's already stored like that on the map array
15:46:15 <edeca> Well keeping the template simple is the best. lz will handle size surely?

15:55:39 <Rubidium> I'd say: blame Bjarni for not implementing it ;)
15:56:14 <glx> works for me (win32 version) :)
15:56:16 <darks> god....the php IRC is very easy to disconnect
15:56:25 <Celestar> if (need_scapegoat) sql_call("SELECT nickname FROM users WHERE nickname = 'Bjarni'");
15:56:56 <Rubidium> Celestar: that's totally wrong
15:57:30 <darks> glx: you can type non-latin words just like chinese in OTTD?
15:57:36 <glx> yes
15:57:46 <Celestar> Rubidium: why?
15:57:57 <Rubidium> Celestar: SELECT person FROM persons AS p WHERE broken_thing IN (SELECT thing FROM things WHERE developed_by_id = p.id)
15:58:00 <darks> glx: without any change the src?
15:58:05 <glx> yes
15:58:26 <glx> I just need to select the right keyboard layout
15:58:28 <Celestar> Rubidium: what about non-existing things?
15:58:35 <darks> glx: i have nothing to say about it...
15:58:43 <Rubidium> Celestar: is the OSX port non-existing?
15:58:47 <Celestar> heh.
15:58:59 <darks> glx: how to select the keyboard layout?
15:58:59 <Celestar> Rubidium: I think it is in a quantum state
15:59:29 <Rubidium> darks: the problem is that you use a different OS than glx uses. For glx' OS is works, for your OS nobody has been bothered to implement it
15:59:31 <glx> on windows I click on the little thing in taskbar
16:00:08 <Rubidium> and the major problem with your OS is that there are very few people that can implement stuff for it
16:00:43 <darks> Rubidium: is there anyone using linux and getting the same problem for me?
16:00:44 <Rubidium> the person who did make the OSX port has not been working on the port for many many months and he didn't have much time beyond fixing some bugs
16:00:49 <glx> or when something works then Apple decides to break it in next release
16:00:59 <Celestar> darks: I'm on linux. what's the problem?
16:01:07 <darks> Rubidium: maybe
16:01:28 <darks> Celestar: can you type non-latin words in the edit box
16:02:05 <darks> Celestar: when you edit the name of your company or the groups.
16:02:29 <Celestar> darks: I'll test in a few minutes.
16:02:40 <Rubidium> darks: doesn't matter whether it works in Linux, because Linux is not OSX
16:03:06 <Celestar> I've an OpenGL app running and AMD's driver doesn't manage to display an SDL window when an OpenGL window is running
16:03:18 <darks> glx: maybe. but if the linux users can work, OSX users may work too
16:03:21 <Rubidium> especially because OSX port doesn't use the same APIs to communicate with the OS as the Linux port does
16:04:14 <darks> Rubidium: no,it's very similar.
16:04:20 <glx> it's not
16:04:23 <Rubidium> darks: it is not
16:04:35 <glx> at least for all GUI related stuff
16:04:38 <Celestar> it's not _very_ similar
16:04:42 <Celestar> and the GUI is all different
16:05:11 <Celestar> heh @ glx
16:05:32 <darks> I know the GUI is all different,but maybe on this game, it's similar.
16:05:44 <glx> it looks the same
16:05:45 <Celestar> ?
16:05:59 <Celestar> the not the GUI, the GUI API.
16:06:04 <Celestar> if you prefer (=
16:06:20 <Rubidium> the backend talking to the OS for the OSX port is vastly different than the backend used for the Linux port which is vastly different than the backend used for the Windows port
16:06:57 <Rubidium> as the backend handles all the input and output the similarity of the backend determines whether it working in one of the backends means whether it works in another
16:07:21 <Celestar> I'm out a bit

17:21:09 <yorick> 1 horsepower = 745.699872 watts, according to google
17:21:58 <Eddi|zuHause> british horses might be slightly more powerful than german ones ;)
17:22:11 <Eddi|zuHause> or maybe those are american horses

17:29:59 <Eddi|zuHause> "Die Leistung eines Pferdes kann je nach Rasse, Trainingszustand oder augenblicklicher Anstrengung erheblich abweichen: ein Pferd etwa beim Galopp oder beim Springreiten kann kurzfristig deutlich mehr, nämlich über 20 PS leisten, während es im Tagesdurchschnitt etwa 1 PS leistet[3]."
17:31:00 <tokai> A horse dragging 75 kg makes not much sense when you can sit *on* the horse :) Getting dragged might actually hurt a little.
17:31:54 <Prof_Frink> tokai: Let me show you my new invention. I call it the "cart".
17:31:56 <Eddi|zuHause> but sitting on the horse makes it difficult to measure against earth gravity
17:32:32 <tokai> Prof_Frink: but you and a cart might weight more than 75kg :)
17:33:02 * tokai at least weights around 75kg himself already.
17:33:04 <Prof_Frink> tokai: carbon fibre.
17:34:14 <Eddi|zuHause> 1 bhp ["brake horse power"] = 1,014 DIN-PS = 745,7 W
17:34:31 <Eddi|zuHause> = 33 000 lbf.·ft./min = 550 lbf.·ft./s
17:36:16 <petern> heh

18:41:22 <Eddi|zuHause> air drag is the important part for high speed, tractive effort for low speed, and power for inclines
18:42:06 <petern> yes
18:42:17 <petern> in our code, rolling resistance is high
18:42:23 <petern> or something
18:42:23 <petern> i dunno
18:42:48 <petern> problem is it is there but always rounds down to 0

19:58:52 <Nicky-NL> hello
19:59:04 <OsteHovel^EEE> or is that very hard todo?
19:59:21 <Eddi|zuHause> OsteHovel^EEE: just get grfcodec
19:59:27 <OsteHovel^EEE> ok
19:59:34 <Eddi|zuHause> and read the grf specs about action0
19:59:52 <Eddi|zuHause> then look for the vehicle ID in question
20:00:01 <Nicky-NL> i am reading an tutorial for making your own grf but the grfcodec does't wanna come up. it goes direct away, someone knows what i must do? :P
20:00:24 <Eddi|zuHause> Nicky-NL: grfcodec is a console application
20:00:34 <Eddi|zuHause> you need to start it from the command line with parameters
20:00:44 <Prof_Frink> Eddi|zuHause: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Germans
20:00:47 <Nicky-NL> start and then run?
20:01:30 <Eddi|zuHause> no, console applications do not "run", you start them, they immediately do something, and then end
20:02:29 <mincepie> Eddi|zuHause: he may be referring to the Windows start menu and the Run command
20:02:38 <OsteHovel^EEE> and then write CMD
20:02:42 <Eddi|zuHause> oh..
20:02:44 <OsteHovel^EEE> then you get console
20:02:48 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, then start -> run -> cmd
20:03:11 <Nicky-NL> ok and then where it should take place?
20:03:13 <mincepie> Prof_Frink: that episode is interesting, according to Cleese, because it contains so little Germans and should really be called The Fire Drill
20:03:14 <Eddi|zuHause> i am totally out of the windows terminology... plus i have never used windows in english
20:03:24 <mincepie> ah
20:03:28 <OsteHovel^EEE> i like linux much better....
20:03:40 <Nicky-NL> the tutorial says i must do this: grfcodec -e mytrain.grf
20:04:08 <Eddi|zuHause> Nicky-NL: when you are in cmd, you go to the directory where your grf files are
20:04:27 <Eddi|zuHause> cd C:\place\where\stuff\is
20:04:45 <Nicky-NL> ah i gonna try something :)
20:04:47 <Eddi|zuHause> so you are one level above the "sprites" directory
20:04:54 <Prof_Frink> Hmm, I think I ate too much over christmas. I'm hallucinating mince pies on irc.
20:05:10 <Eddi|zuHause> "dir sprites" should say something like:
20:05:19 <Eddi|zuHause> mygrf.nfo
20:05:23 <Eddi|zuHause> mygrf.pcx
20:05:25 * mincepie dances in confusing pattern around Prof_Frink
20:05:40 * Prof_Frink attempts to eat mincepie
20:05:43 <mincepie> Prof_Frink: don't worry, you're among only a very few here who even know what a mince pie is...
20:05:59 <Eddi|zuHause> then type "grfcodec -e mygrf.grf"
20:06:19 <Eddi|zuHause> Prof_Frink: i don't think i have ever seen that show
20:06:39 <mincepie> Eddi|zuHause: you've never seen Fawlty Towers?
20:07:11 <Eddi|zuHause> that is exactly what i said, yes.

20:14:20 <glx> it must be in sprites
20:14:29 <Nicky-NL> i have did in in an sperate map
20:14:42 <Eddi|zuHause> if it is in the same directory as you run grfcodec, you can try "grfcodec -e mygrf.grf ."
20:14:57 <Eddi|zuHause> the "." is important there
20:18:43 <Nicky-NL> again an new file
20:19:39 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC
20:19:59 <glx> what does it say?

21:05:54 <petern> only a month that time
21:06:40 <Prof_Frink> Eddi|zuHause: `mplayer -dumpfile polen.rm -dumpstream rtsp://ras01.wdr.de/online/2005/kultur/rundfunk/polen.rm` seemed to work, but I can't get the (96kB) file to play
21:07:21 <Eddi|zuHause> who sorts engine lists anyway?
21:08:57 <petern> nobody
21:09:01 <petern> that's the default sorting
21:09:05 <petern> haha
21:09:23 <petern> my 260hp/35kN railcar actually gets stuck going up hill
21:10:45 *** mincepie has quit IRC
21:10:49 <Sacro> petern: newphysics?
21:11:08 <petern> tweaked magic values
21:12:20 <petern> yarr, it manages it with a shunter bolted on
21:12:45 <petern> oh, it has 8 carriages attached, which is a bit silly
21:12:50 <petern> it's fine by itself :)
21:13:49 <petern> could do with better brakes
21:13:56 <petern> silly engine power = braking shit
21:14:22 <Eddi|zuHause> the DBSetXL's railcar (VT 95?) does not reach its max speed with a trailing car attached
21:14:36 <petern> in trunk?
21:14:42 <Eddi|zuHause> in trunk, yes
21:14:53 <Eddi|zuHause> partially because the weight of the wagon is not changed
21:15:23 <Eddi|zuHause> the railcar itself weighs like 18t, but the trailer weighs 40t
21:16:49 <petern> the VT95?
21:17:10 *** murr4y has quit IRC
21:17:49 <petern> hmm, it reached it
21:18:27 *** benjamin_ is now known as mincepie
21:18:39 <petern> hehe, ice3 bug :)
21:19:16 <petern> 14MW, 2000kN max TE
21:20:00 *** Progman has joined #openttd
21:20:20 <petern> hmm, it can't reach max speed :/

21:23:09 <petern> haha
21:23:17 <petern> MB's ICE3 is on crack
21:23:35 <petern> 725t, 14000kW, 2000kN...
21:23:50 <petern> specs are 435t, 8000kW, 300kN
21:25:09 <Sacro> rather than tweak ttdpatch to work correctly...
21:25:14 <Prof_Frink> <clarkson>POWER!</clarkson>
21:25:31 <Rubidium> but... petern's specs do not comply with MB's reality
21:25:40 <edeca> Just let May drive it, wont go above 45mph
21:25:57 <Prof_Frink> edeca: One word: Veyron.
21:26:19 *** murr4y has joined #openttd
21:26:24 <mincepie> awful machine
21:26:33 <Rubidium> petern: the wiki says 8000 kW per engine, maybe it has more than one engine?
21:26:43 <Eddi|zuHause> petern: the VT 95 itself can reach max speed, but if you attach a passenger wagon to it, it doesn't
21:26:51 <edeca> Like 1.8 engines to make 14000? :)
21:27:49 <petern> 500kW per engine, 4 engines per powered carriage, 4 powered carriages
21:27:53 <Rubidium> and 4300 when on DC instead of AC
21:28:18 *** lewymati has joined #openttd
21:28:29 <petern> Eddi|zuHause, which one is the E92?
21:28:37 <petern> BR194?
21:28:54 <Eddi|zuHause> E94 == BR 194, yes
21:29:02 <petern> hm
21:29:19 <Eddi|zuHause> easily the most beautiful engine in the set ;)
21:29:24 <Eddi|zuHause> (in green livery)
21:29:52 <Eddi|zuHause> if only the passenger wagons would be the same length...
21:29:58 <Eddi|zuHause> (2 articulated parts)
21:30:00 *** OsteHovel^EEE has quit IRC
21:31:26 <petern> hmm, that overflows somewhat :o
21:32:00 <Eddi|zuHause> as for the naming scheme, the letters got turned into numbers with introduction of computers in the late '60s, E->1, V->2 [west germany], E->2, V->1 [east germany],
21:33:37 <Eddi|zuHause> with some more or less regular transformation of the rest of the numbers. i.e the V200 got numbered 220 and the V160 to 216 [last digit cut]
21:33:48 <Eddi|zuHause> E10 got 110
21:33:57 *** TinoM has quit IRC
21:35:00 <Eddi|zuHause> that was before computers learned to handle letters ;)
21:36:10 *** baudchan has joined #openttd
21:36:40 <Eddi|zuHause> the E94 should be able to handle something like 2000t on flat land, and 500t on slopes
21:37:52 <zircu> dihedral: how cute am i? :)
21:38:27 <Eddi|zuHause> where "slopes" are lines like the Brennerbahn and the Frankenwaldbahn
21:41:21 <petern> i need to calculate the best magic number
21:41:31 <petern> for converting m/s into game-world usable units
21:41:32 <Rubidium> 42
21:41:36 <petern> er, m/s/s

22:08:04 *** luddek has quit IRC
22:17:06 <Eddi|zuHause> nobody does that as well as you do
22:17:13 <mincepie> *nod*
22:17:44 <Eddi|zuHause> http://www.klauserbeck.de/Strecken1/WerdauMehltheuer/Triebes1005-03k.jpg <- we totally need combo signals like these...
22:17:47 *** dfox has quit IRC
22:18:56 <mincepie> oh, you're thinking of m·s⁻²
22:19:22 <mincepie> Eddi|zuHause: you implement 'em and I'll use 'em :P
22:20:42 <Eddi|zuHause> mincepie: well, i had a preliminary case study patch with michi_cc for advance signals. problem was that combo signals need more than 2 states
22:21:03 <mincepie> ...ah
22:21:38 <Eddi|zuHause> which is not directly a problem, because path signals have only 1 direction, there are 2 bits available
22:22:00 <Eddi|zuHause> but the map accessor would need to do different things depending if it's a block signal or a path signal
22:22:10 <Eddi|zuHause> which was a too complex task for me to tackle back then
22:22:45 <Eddi|zuHause> and that did not even consider the fact that 3 graphical states would be necessary
22:23:48 *** dfox has joined #openttd
22:24:14 <Rubidium> petern: what about 584 as magic number? (number of real world seconds per TrainLocoHandler)
22:24:31 * Rubidium got no idea in what kind of range the magic number should be
22:25:58 <Rubidium> = 24 * 3600 / 74 / 2 (TrainLocoHandler gets called twice a tick)
22:28:08 <petern> hmm
22:28:26 <petern> has to be larger than that
22:28:49 <Rubidium> by how much?
22:29:05 <Rubidium> factor 2?
22:29:21 <Rubidium> 1.6^2 ?
22:33:34 *** gynter has quit IRC
22:34:30 <petern> hmm, no, cos i changed the subspeed
