00:17:43 <TrueBrain> pompiedom :)
00:17:47 <TrueBrain> it was btw a serious question joachim :p
00:20:55 <joachim> i hoped i could get away by smiling
00:21:39 <TrueBrain> ;) Bad boy :p
00:22:04 <joachim> i will look into learning c++ and see if i can contribute with anything
00:22:11 * TrueBrain waits for java to be compiled in his firefox ...
00:22:26 *** Splex has quit IRC
00:22:33 <TrueBrain> hehe
00:22:35 <goodger> TrueBrain: firefox is coded in java now?
00:22:39 <TrueBrain> coding rarely is a real problem :)
00:23:05 <joachim> yeah, the coding standard is usually as much of a problem as the language
00:23:13 <TrueBrain> did I ever said that?
00:23:24 <joachim> or do you mean actually doing anything
00:23:26 <TrueBrain> I always wonder where that 11th finger keeps on popping up from
00:23:30 <joachim> oops. :)
00:23:35 <TrueBrain> joachim: hehe ;)
00:23:37 <TrueBrain> coding just takes time
00:23:44 <TrueBrain> but the ideas and how to code it, is mostly a problem for me :)
00:24:04 <TrueBrain> grr, mplayer at nice -19, still stalling because of some compiling running at the background
00:24:11 <joachim> everything comes with time and effort...
00:24:26 <joachim> which most people aren't willing to spend
00:25:06 <TrueBrain> very true :)
00:25:57 <goodger> how are you managing to compile java in a firefox-related context, then?
00:26:24 <Rubidium> try ionice -c 3 too
00:26:47 <TrueBrain> ionice -c 3 22812
00:26:47 <TrueBrain> execvp: No such file or directory
00:27:06 <TrueBrain> ah, -p
00:27:57 <TrueBrain> tnx Rubidium, a bit better (still poor)
00:29:38 <Rubidium> isn't -19 max priority?
00:29:55 <Rubidium> oh doh... it's mplayer's prio
00:30:21 <Rubidium> what did you ionice btw?
00:30:32 <Rubidium> and have you tried giving the compile nice 20?
00:30:59 <TrueBrain> mplayer :)
00:31:13 <TrueBrain> yeah ... compile is done now :p
00:31:38 <Rubidium> ionice -c 3 gives only io when idle, so odd it improved mplayer

00:33:33 <TrueBrain> I didn't really use the value '3' :p
00:33:37 <thingwath> oh
00:33:49 *** stillunknown has quit IRC
00:34:09 <[com]buster> Do the pros here know of any pending issues with toyland?
00:34:17 <thingwath> setting idle class with ionice usually really helps a lot
00:34:30 <TrueBrain> besides it looks ugly like hell?
00:34:49 <[com]buster> TB: I planned on using toyland-to-mars
00:35:10 <[com]buster> but whenever I start a server with a toyland map, any client desyncs
00:35:18 <[com]buster> whenever I start a temperate game, it doesnt
00:35:41 <[com]buster> independent of whether I have toyland2mars enabled
00:36:15 <TrueBrain> work for Rubidium, I guess ;) :p :p
00:36:33 <thingwath> for anyone, if used properly :-)
00:36:34 <[com]buster> the rest won't survive toyland? :p
00:36:51 <Rubidium> trunk or 0.6.3?
00:36:56 <[com]buster> trunk
00:37:04 <[com]buster> I have 14922
00:37:22 <Rubidium> then I've got no idea
00:37:53 <[com]buster> should I create a tracker ticket?
00:37:57 <Rubidium> yup
00:38:02 <[com]buster> will do

00:53:33 <Aali> 4>openttd - 1270 error(s), 25 warning(s)
00:53:35 <Aali> yay
00:53:39 <Aali> gotta love MSVC
00:53:52 <TrueBrain> concratz
00:54:28 <glx> Aali: usually you can ignore the latest errors are they are most likely caused by MSVC
00:54:53 <Aali> seems like it just corrupted its own datafiles and borked on every single file after that
00:55:19 <glx> yes he failed to update openttd.pdb after the first major error
00:55:30 <glx> or after too many errors
00:55:41 <Aali> that's... stupid
00:56:05 <glx> make just stops after the first error so it's not really different
00:56:38 <Aali> it's very different, MSVC doesn't stop
00:56:42 <Aali> it just keeps trying
00:56:47 <glx> the result is the same, compile failed
00:57:09 <Aali> and the real error ends up on top of 1269 useless errors
00:57:40 <glx> the list is well organised so it's not a problem
01:00:57 <TrueBrain> yeah, java support :)

07:58:18 <dihedral> petern, depends
08:13:10 <dihedral> have you guys ever thought of setting up some continuous integration system for openttd?
08:13:35 *** Tim has joined #openttd
08:13:48 <Tim> Morning
08:13:56 <WhiteRhino> Morning.
08:14:08 <petern> dihedral, a what?
08:14:14 <Tim> Christmas is really late this year... So much new features these days :)
08:14:46 <dihedral> continuous integration
08:15:38 <dihedral> you either poll every x minutes for update in svn, or you install a hook script - either way
08:15:57 <dihedral> changes trigger a build, and the involved authors are notified if the build fails
08:16:37 <dihedral> but i guess the nightly setup is just that... polling every day at 2000 CET ;-)
08:18:34 <Tim> Does distant joining of stations work the same as in ttdpatch?
08:18:44 <Tim> I want to update the wiki...
08:18:49 <DaleStan> Not quite, I believe.
08:19:10 * dihedral waves hello to DaleStan
08:19:15 <Tim> Big diffference?
08:19:30 <Tim> It either has to go under: Features that are significantly different in OpenTTD
08:19:45 <Tim> or under TTDPatch features in OpenTTD
08:21:28 <DaleStan> Non majorly different. The difference is that TTDPatch always requires CTRL to open the Join dialog, while it's optional in Open in one somewhat rare case.
08:21:35 <DaleStan> *Not
08:21:55 *** De_Ghosty has joined #openttd
08:22:06 <Tim> Okay
08:22:27 <Tim> I guess that can then still go under ttdpatch features in openttd
08:23:10 <DaleStan> (That case being building a station/loading area that is adjacent to two or more stations.)
08:23:50 <Tim> What happens in TTDPatch if you do so without pressing CTRL? Does it just choose one?
08:24:23 <DaleStan> It errors out.
08:25:37 <DaleStan> Can't build station here ... \n Adjoins more than one existing station/loading area
08:26:53 <Tim> Okay, thanks :)
08:27:28 <Tim> Are vehicle introduction dates later than 2050 possible in TTDPatch?
08:27:57 <Tim> Just added the "Features only available in OpenTTD" and need some content, doesn't look too good empty ;)
08:29:13 <Tim> And the higher maximum speed for road vehicles?
08:30:00 *** De_Ghosty has quit IRC
08:30:01 <DaleStan> After 2050, no. Higher speed limit!? Are you really asking that one? That's been in Patch for years. Possibly even a decade.
08:30:10 <Tim> ;)
08:30:45 <DaleStan> ... OK. So not a decade. But definitely years.
08:32:37 *** De_Ghosty has joined #openttd
08:36:05 <Tim> Well, i never really played TTDPatch...
08:36:13 *** elmex has joined #openttd
08:37:24 <WhiteRhino> Bedtime. Night, folks.
08:37:40 *** WhiteRhino has quit IRC
08:46:47 <Tim> Hm, i'm just wondering... Shouldn't the wiki pages "New Features since version 0.x." not be renamed to "New Features in version 0.x+1"? So "new features since 0.5.0" would be called "New features in 0.6.0"
08:48:19 <Tim> I think that makes a bit more sense, since you could think that "New features since 0.5.0" would cover all the new features since that version, but it only covers the new features introduced until 0.6.0 came out...
08:49:05 <Tim> Of course, New features since 0.6.0 makes sense, since it is still current...
08:50:33 <Tim> And, additionally, it might be an idea to merge the (old) roadmaps to these pages, since both kind of list the same stuff.
08:53:27 <Tim> AND, an overview page might also be very useful...
08:53:27 *** [com]buster has quit IRC
08:53:35 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
08:54:48 <Tim> I know this is a lot now... But i would volunteer to think of a good system on how to make all these pages and make an example of it on my userpage - That is, if it is not completely undesired and only if it has a slight chance of being added to the wiki
08:57:49 *** roboboy has quit IRC
09:12:25 *** mikl has joined #openttd
09:18:13 *** Yexo_ has joined #openttd
09:18:42 <petern> The roadmap pages are generally junk anyway.
09:19:58 *** DephNet[Paul] has quit IRC
09:20:05 <Tim> Yeah, since most of the points are added the exact time the feature hits trunk :D
09:20:12 <Tim> Like with YAPP ;)
09:20:58 <Tim> And the points listed are mostly identical with "Major new Features" from the "New features since..." page
09:21:18 *** Yexo has quit IRC
09:26:32 <Rubidium> roadmaps are especially junk because we have absolutely no obligations to follow them
09:26:53 <edeca> "what people want but might never get"
09:27:02 *** Phoenix_the_II has quit IRC
09:27:06 <Rubidium> and previously they became kinda wish lists because everybody added whatever (s)he wanted to the list
09:27:06 <Tim> That's why they are protected from editing :D
09:27:13 <Tim> yeah
09:27:45 <Rubidium> and thus there were lots of things in the roadmaps that never got made and people started to complain a lot
09:28:00 <Rubidium> so we locked them
09:28:24 <Rubidium> and started adding stuff we were fairly certain of they would or could make it before the next release
09:33:00 *** Wolle has quit IRC
09:37:43 <petern> hehe, 0.1 to 0.3 in a month
09:37:53 <petern> and then 4 years for 0.3 to 0.6...
09:38:42 <Rubidium> and roughly 1 year between each major release
09:39:50 <Tim> Hm, thinking about my proposal from above again... How about merging all those new features pages also with the stable release pages? My idea would be to keep the pages like "OpenTTD 0.6.0/1/2/3", "OpenTTD 0.5.0/1/2/3" etc, and make a new page "OpenTTD 0.6.x Releases", "OpenTTD 0.5.x Releases" etc (more coming)
09:40:37 <petern> why do we even have a ttdpatch comparison page?
09:41:21 <Tim> On the "OpenTTD 0.6.x Releases" page there would be some general, interesting information for the normal user: The first beta published on that date, the first stable version at that date, a list of the stable versions. Then a list with new features, and maybe some other comments
09:41:23 <edeca> petern: For people coming from ttdpatch?
09:41:28 *** welterde has quit IRC
09:41:47 <petern> people don't come from ttdpatch
09:42:03 *** welterde has joined #openttd
09:42:50 <Forked> I used the patch at first.. but when I took up TTD again some years later I went with open. I can't recall why, but I wub you guys now so I'll never go back
09:43:27 * Rubidium started with openttd because he couldn't get his head around the assembly
09:43:50 <petern> i started with simutrans
09:43:52 <Rubidium> and because I'm always having fights wit wine
09:43:53 <edeca> petern: Me too
09:43:54 <petern> god that was ugly :)
09:44:12 <edeca> Actually some of the graphics in simutrans now are really nice, but I prefer signalling and stuff in openttd
09:44:16 <petern> when i first played ottd it was like... "wow, the screen scrolls smoothly"
09:44:29 <petern> oh god, simutrans junctions :/
09:44:38 <edeca> Does it even *do* junctions? Heh
09:44:48 <edeca> Trains pick platforms randomly, things like that
09:45:19 <petern> lol
09:45:45 <petern> if i search for 'simutrans junctions' on google images, nearly every image is of ottd via tt-forums
09:45:53 <edeca> Was openttd a complete rewrite? Or did it borrow from the assembly in earlier versions?
09:46:04 <FauxFaux> Deep.
09:46:42 <FauxFaux> The older code in the current release is written in C, I'd rather compile it and read the asm.
09:46:52 <edeca> FauxFaux: You like ASM?

09:53:04 <petern> nice work
09:53:51 <edeca> "bubbles"?
09:54:00 <dihedral> MY bubbles
09:54:15 <petern> edeca, toyland
09:54:34 <edeca> Ah, toyland! :)
09:54:45 <edeca> Does anybody play that, really?
09:54:56 <Rubidium> yes
09:55:04 <edeca> Hehe, crazy people.
09:55:10 <edeca> I really like the graphics, I just find it harder to play

10:07:50 <petern> ah, unfortunately i only have £105 to last the month :/
10:07:54 <dihedral> now that the pound is _that_ low, it's worth buying it stuff there :-P

10:55:38 <petern> is it?

11:13:49 <Belugas> [04:56] <edeca> I really like the graphics, I just find it harder to play <-- industry and animation wise, it is the best landscape of TTD
11:14:03 <edeca> "if the govt payed off all our debts it wud all b gd again"
11:14:16 <edeca> Belugas: Definitely, the animation is excellent! But why do you say about the industry?
11:18:03 <Belugas> industry chain. very good
11:18:05 <Belugas> mmh..
11:18:09 <Belugas> good -> food
11:18:12 <Belugas> breakfast!
11:19:11 <Tim> Belugas: That's why i suggested changing the default industries for temperate a little :) Yes, i know, it breaks NewIndustries and such ;)
11:19:54 *** Phoenix_the_II has quit IRC
11:20:19 <Belugas> and thus, NO CAN DO ;)
11:20:24 * Belugas is really gone for food
11:21:12 <Tim> Too bad :(
11:21:32 <petern> why would we change the default industries when newgrf is around to make those changes?
11:21:49 <Tim> But we could do a NewGRF and have it always activated :)
11:21:58 <petern> nope
11:22:34 <Tim> Yes, i know... :(
11:22:50 <petern> why is it a problem?
11:23:03 <Tim> I just can't get over that factory that produces Goods out of Steel, Grain and Livestock :D
11:23:10 <petern> the facility is there to change something, and you can use that facility. forcing the changes you want on everyone is silly.
11:23:52 <petern> tinned food

11:44:04 <petern> ah :)
11:44:32 <FauxFaux> You should do what we do at work, and use the commit message as the thing that gets shown to the customer for their bug being closed. OR NOT

11:47:35 <DorpsGek> TrueBrain: Commit by maedhros :: r10236 /trunk (21 files in 4 dirs) (2007-06-20 19:17:22 UTC)
11:47:36 <DorpsGek> TrueBrain: -Feature: Introduce a form of timetabling for vehicles.
11:48:05 <Tim> ehm, when searching at http://hg.openttd.org/openttd/trunk.hg/, could it be that it always only shows me the 10 first results and not all?
11:48:07 <Tim> Thanks!

12:01:30 <Rubidium> Tim: you could've first taken a look at changelog.txt
12:02:53 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
12:02:56 <Rubidium> Tim: your page shows classical signs of someone with German as first language
12:03:17 <dihedral> lol
12:03:42 <Rubidium> and how is e.g. PigLatin a feature?
12:04:06 *** Progman has joined #openttd
12:05:19 <Rubidium> Afrikaans as language would at least be a bigger thing
12:06:34 <Rubidium> piglatin's autogenerated anyways
12:06:38 <Tim> I meant rather the idea and general layout of the page rather than the specific content, since this is heavily WIP ;) The list there is from the "New Features since 0.5" and the 0.6 roadmap page...
12:08:02 <petern> pig latin is fucking pointless and should be removed
12:08:02 <Rubidium> the main question is: what's important and what's not?
12:08:15 <Tim> Yes, true
12:09:01 <Tim> I now just thought that maybe the Major features should be in that table on the page, with revision, date, developer, and beneath should be a list with all features, with just revision number and commit log / name
12:09:34 <petern> revision, date and developer are all pretty ireelevant
12:09:38 <petern> but spelled correctly
12:11:02 <Tim> I think it is not that uninteresting for the major features
12:11:32 <petern> most of the stuff ends up with input from everyone
12:11:40 <Tim> But probably really not needed for every small feature
12:12:19 <TrueBrain> "who" did it is indeed very irrelevant in most cases
12:12:40 <TrueBrain> as also: "which revision" or "date" .. nobody really cares about that when downloading a stable version ;)
12:14:47 <Tim> Of course, someone who just wants to play does not care, but he wouldn't look at that wiki page anyway ;)
12:15:12 <TrueBrain> fair enough :)
12:15:18 <TrueBrain> just with the "who" I generally have a problem
12:15:34 <Tim> Just thought it might be nice to have a place where you can look up the new features and, for the major features, get some additional information without having to search for it
12:15:55 <TrueBrain> if not that you can rarely point to one (or several person), then because it is silly that if you make one big thing your name gets there, and if you make 1000 small things, you name never gets there :p
12:16:55 <TrueBrain> well, what is useful, is links to wiki pages with more info on the new feature :)

14:51:56 <glx> Aali: really?
14:52:03 <glx> more details please
14:52:10 <Aali> as far as I can see, AIRail::BuildNewGRFRailStation is still using the old parameter format
14:52:30 <glx> oops it's not in regression so I missed it
14:52:33 <Aali> and AdmiralAI complains about not being able to build railway stations
14:52:53 <TrueBrain> bad glx :p
14:52:57 * TrueBrain hugs glx :)
14:53:06 <Aali> I also noticed some default-AI-style terraforming with NoAI
14:53:24 <Aali> that one could be my fault
14:54:26 <Aali> let me try it with a clean NoAI
14:54:49 *** einKarl has joined #openttd
14:55:01 <Yexo_> Aali: that terraforming is the result of AdmiralAi trying to terraform land to build a station, but as long as the station building fails, it'll try a different spot

15:00:39 <TrueBrain> hi Belugas :)
15:00:40 <Aali> switching keyboard is out of the question though
15:01:16 <Yexo_> dihedral: any ideas? the error returned in this case doesn't make any sense. In other cases, the most likely case is that someone else build a station between the time of fiinding a good place and trying to build there. Local authority disallowing is already checked for

15:55:23 <TrueBrain> huh?
15:55:27 <TrueBrain> the AI? :s
15:55:59 <Aali> AdmiralAI managed to build a train that's like, 1/100th of a tile too long, so it's blocking the station
15:56:13 <Aali> using tropic refurbishment set
15:57:34 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
15:58:18 <glx> I'd sau grf gave wrong length to openttd
15:58:28 <glx> *say
15:59:04 <Aali> the length shouldn't ever change though, it's a very simple grf
15:59:32 <Aali> (and if the length didn't change, how could it possibly give the "wrong" length?)
16:01:28 <TrueBrain> hmm .. PBS just fucked up :s
16:01:30 <TrueBrain> no idea why ..
16:01:45 <glx> TrueBrain: cargodest?

16:35:02 <Yexo> Aali: what train grf are you using?
16:35:14 <Aali> tropic refurbishment set
16:35:39 <Yexo> and what cargo did the too long train transport?
16:35:59 <Aali> copper
16:36:17 <Aali> it only builds too long trains when the engine is long though
16:36:24 <Yexo> that shouldn't matter
16:36:27 <Aali> with short engines, its okay
16:36:44 <Yexo> it builds the engine and then adds wagons until the total train is too long, then it removes the last wagon
16:37:09 <Yexo> did the train become too long after reversing maybe?
16:37:45 <Tim> Hm, if you build the train yourself, which length does it show in the depot?
16:37:58 <Tim> Maybe it shows e.g. length 8, but in reality is more like 8,5
16:38:23 <glx> then it's grf fault :)
16:39:16 <Yexo> Tim: the length shown is determined by ottd iirc, so it'll display 9 if the lenght is 8,1
16:39:26 <Aali> this grf doesn't use any fancy callbacks or anything
16:39:37 <Yexo> Aali: what train was it (type)?
16:39:49 <Aali> let me see if that sell attempt fails..
16:40:38 <Tim> Yexo: Yes, but maybe the grf tells OTTD that the train is 8 tiles long, when it is like 8,1 in reality. If you build the train yourself, you could see whether this is the case
16:41:35 <Aali> Tim: that makes no sense
16:41:45 <Yexo> Tim: the lenght of the train is the length the grf tells it has, both in the depot and after that. The only problem can be is that the length of the train can be changed via callbacks that are called when leaving the depot and when reversing
16:41:49 <petern> if it tells ottd it's 8 tiles long then it's 8 tiles long
16:42:08 <Tim> okay :)
16:42:38 <petern> not that a grf ever 'says' such a thing
16:42:48 <Tim> :D
16:43:07 <Aali> Yexo: reproduced it with Class 25C engine and the smallest Water Tankers
16:43:11 <petern> it can only set individual engine/wagon lengths
16:43:51 *** yorick_ has joined #openttd
16:45:37 <Yexo> Aali: I can reproduce thatby hand in recent trunk (in the depot it shows length 10, but the tile just before the station is not cleared). So it's either a newgrf or a trunk issue.
16:46:23 <Rubidium> it recalculates the length (including newgrf callbacks) just before leaving the depot
16:46:38 *** yorick is now known as Guest796
16:46:38 *** yorick_ is now known as yorick
16:47:19 <petern> what is the actual problem? heh
16:47:42 <George> Rubidium: about FS2514 - any ECS vector causes crash
16:47:42 <Rubidium> a train's too long
16:48:10 <Yexo> petern: the train show length 10 (5 tiles) in the depot, but as soon as it leaves the depot and goesto a 5-tile long station, it doesn't clear (with pbs) the rail tile just before the station, thereby blocking other trains
16:48:10 <petern> an AI built a train too long for a platform?
16:48:54 <Yexo> no, the AI builds a train that has exactly the right length (when it's in the depot), but the length changes as soon as it leaves the depot (by means of a newgrf callback).
16:49:15 <Yexo> either that or there is a bug in trunk, but I doubt that, as this same problem was fixed by Rubidium some time ago
16:49:44 <Aali> I've got the grf right here, which callback/var/property am I looking for?
16:49:46 <petern> then it's a newgrf bug cos the length shouldn't really change
16:50:15 <petern> 0x11
16:50:24 *** Guest796 has quit IRC
16:50:29 <frosch123> the length is cached and verified that it does not change outside of depots
16:50:36 <petern> or prop 31
16:51:01 <DaleStan> I'd be surprised. That'd require, at best, an incompetent newgrf author, and likely a malicious one. It's not that hard to not check the stopped/running state in that CB.
16:51:11 <Yexo> frosch123: does that include the time of leaving the depot, or is it allowed to change between displaying in the depot and leaving the depot?
16:51:18 <frosch123> btw. there was some bug some month ago, were too short front engines stopped too early
16:51:43 <frosch123> it should only change, when wagons are arranged, refitted, etc...
16:52:20 <frosch123> +h
16:52:28 <petern> DaleStan, yeah, it takes effort to make it change :)
16:52:40 <Yexo> frosch123: should or can?
16:52:59 <Aali> hmm
16:54:58 <Aali> the grf does mess with the length, but I have no idea why
16:55:18 <Aali> or when
16:56:34 <Aali> oh
16:56:37 <Aali> now I see it
16:57:09 <Aali> AdmiralAI refits AFTER checking the length
16:57:13 *** TinoM has joined #openttd
16:57:26 <tom0004> yay! stuck pixels :|
16:57:49 <Yexo> Aali: does refitting cause the wagon length to change?
16:58:05 <Aali> wait, that's not right..
16:58:11 <petern> it can do
16:58:12 <Aali> you can't even refit those wagons
16:58:18 <petern> heh
16:59:23 <goodger> tom0004: wikipedia suggests flashing primary colours at high speed
16:59:27 <Aali> the engine (Class 25C and some others) returns different values for different CargoID's though
16:59:38 <petern> that's normal
16:59:42 <petern> you can't refit outside of a depot
17:00:03 <Yexo> Aali: that still doesn't explain the issue in trunk with the class 25 and water wagosn
17:00:04 <petern> goodger, a hammer would do it
17:00:11 <Aali> Yexo: indeed
17:00:16 <goodger> petern: would have to be a very small hammer
17:00:30 <Yexo> I'll fix the (possible) problem with having a too long train after refitting though
17:00:44 <goodger> I can barely see subpixels at 15cm away
17:01:19 <Aali> could it be possible that the callback only activates when it leaves the depot?
17:01:26 <frosch123> Aali: you should really send the train to depot, and check whether it is too long, or whether the train stopped before reaching the end of the platform
17:02:13 <Yexo> frosch123: I already did that. The train shows length 10 in the depot, but it doesn't fit in a 5-tile station
17:02:16 <Aali> so, when you build it, it isn't carrying anything, you add some wagons (and the callback isn't called here) but when you leave the depot it suddenly has a cargo type?
17:02:36 <Aali> or is that not how it works?

17:08:34 <Aali> I can make it fit in the station by start/stopping it manually
17:08:38 <frosch123> @openttd commit 14526
17:08:38 <DorpsGek> frosch123: Commit by rubidium :: r14526 /trunk/src (station_cmd.cpp train_cmd.cpp) (2008-10-24 20:53:57 UTC)
17:08:39 <DorpsGek> frosch123: -Fix [FS#2379]: make sure trains stop at the end of a station; a 3/8th length train did stop 2/8th of it's length too early causing a 63/8th long train not to fit in a 4 tile station.
17:09:12 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... i am one power outlet short...
17:09:35 <Aali> frosch123: one small problem, this is r14927
17:10:23 <goodger> Eddi|zuHause: you can have this one *holds up*
17:10:54 <goodger> I just unplugged a monoxide detector from it; after I noticed the words "made in w. germany" on the detector, it tripped my circuit breaker
17:10:57 <frosch123> so does it also apply to trunk, or only noai. create a savegame with trunk without ais, with only the single train grf, and one depot, one station and one train that shows the problem, and post that to flyspray
17:12:38 <frosch123> he, the old bug was reported by yexo, so blame him :p
17:13:58 *** Fuco has joined #openttd
17:16:00 <frosch123> it also helps when the last rail track before the station is horizontal/vertical, so you can see where the last wagon is located
17:17:10 <Aali> I've made a save with two identical trains, one loading, one thats really in the station, you can clearly see that they're not in the same position

18:45:17 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, there is a TTDPatch for DOS, why isn't there an OpenTTD for DOS?!?!11einself
18:45:42 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: there isn't?
18:46:06 <Rubidium> the major reason there no nightlies of it is the fact that it kinda fails on real hardware
18:46:13 <Rubidium> http://rbijker.net/openttd/dos-attack.png <- but in dosbox it works
18:46:16 <Eddi|zuHause> well, not in binary form...
18:47:01 <DaleStan> why isn't there an OpenTTD for DOS?!?!11einself <-- Because OpenTTD for DOS would have to be compiled with L4 and L5 starting at [fs:0] and [gs:0]. :p
18:47:59 <Eddi|zuHause> err... that's kinda too technical...
18:48:35 <George> Does CB 11 not work for the first RV in consist? It looks like it has always a length of 8. Is that intended?
18:48:36 <OwenS> DaleStan, Why not just use DPMI and sidestep real mode segmentation? :P
18:49:23 *** Alberth has joined #openttd
18:50:39 <DaleStan> OwenS: Because [fs:si] only takes three bytes, while [DWORD+esi] takes five. (It's a reference to the hassle that is patching L4 and L5 accesses in TTDPatch.)
18:51:30 <frosch123> George: it is called, but maybe at the wrong moment, i.e. before all articulated parts are built
18:51:39 <Aali> sweet, a reproducable MSVC crash
18:52:26 <George> and if the vehicle is not articulated?
18:52:38 <el_en> Bjarni!
18:52:49 <Bjarni> that's me :)
18:56:57 <George> DaleStan: Wiki says about prop 21 for trains "This property does not work for the first vehicle in a train (i.e. the engine)". Why is it impotant?
18:57:33 <Aali> glx: got another "fun" NoAI bug for you :)
18:57:45 <glx> explain
18:58:17 <Aali> if you activate AIs in multiplayer clients will try to run AIs (from Load_AIPL) which obviously asserts instantly
18:58:25 <DaleStan> <Yexo> I could use vector<bool>, but I heard there was something against that? <-- The problem with vector<bool> is that it is not a container. If you don't need iterators, then I think everything should work.
18:58:32 <glx> and please go in #openttd.noai for all noai related stuff :)
18:58:52 *** ecke has joined #openttd
18:59:01 <George> AFAIR, my tests long ago in TTDP with CB 11 worked rather fine (I had a train of two parts - 50% and 37% shorter)

19:51:29 <petern> a house as shown in game does not represent an individual house
19:51:43 <nicfer> what molests me is the scaling
19:51:46 <Eddi|zuHause> edeca: that was a propaganda phrase that was used in east germany, usually in conjunction with a statistics of the next useless product they could find, which had higher production rate than west germany
19:52:02 <edeca> Eddi|zuHause: Heh! I made sure it wasn't rude then just agreed :)
19:52:38 <energetic> I am tring to build ottd, installed vs2k8, tortoisesvn, downloaded code, tried compiling. FAIL with 7 errors - errors like "cant find png.h". This makes me believe I do not have all source files?

19:52:55 <edeca> energetic: It's much easier to compile in cygwin
19:52:59 <nicfer> that affects more than realism
19:53:03 <Rubidium> energetic: openttd depends on some libraries and related headers
19:53:15 <edeca> nicfer: It's pointless arguing about specifics, but sure as hell most busses are longer than my house is wide.

20:12:51 <Belugas> shut up troll
20:12:52 <energetic> "Install the version November 2007 or later"
20:12:57 <Rubidium> then someone fracked up the faq
20:13:10 <Rubidium> cause august 2007 is the last one with directmusic
20:13:16 <Rubidium> anything later doesn't have that
20:14:19 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: peter1138 * r14939 /trunk/src/newgrf.cpp:
20:14:19 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: -Codechange: Follow standard *ChangeInfo() pattern for global variables during
20:14:19 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: reservation. Whilst not strictly necessary for global variables, following the
20:14:19 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: same pattern makes it easier to follow. This also solves the long standing
20:14:21 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: ChangeInfoResult/bool warning for MSVC.
20:14:34 <Rubidium> oh... what the FAQ says is install something, then extract the august 2007 version and copy some files
20:14:59 <Rubidium> which means mixing directx sdk versions and that might work, but I wouldn't bet on it
20:15:46 <glx> wow we finally got this warning fixed
20:15:49 <Yexo> I've followed that faq (using the directx sdk august 2008) and the only way I can compile now is by disabling music
20:16:51 <Rubidium> so it's official... a fracker updated the directx sdk version to the latest without testing, just because there was a new sdk
20:17:10 <edeca> :)
20:18:18 <Rubidium> anyhow... I'm not touching it as I can't test whether what I would be saying actually works
20:18:42 *** nicfer has left #openttd

20:38:50 <George> frosch123: No, not in corners
20:39:57 <George> glx: FS 2514 - 14920 for win9x under win32? yes
20:40:17 <glx> no crash for me :/
20:40:41 <frosch123> George: you can see in your 7+4+5 that all BB have length 8
20:40:45 <frosch123> the same applies to trains
20:40:45 <Yexo> I have another (maybe the same) crash with the newgrf window
20:41:05 <Yexo> Open it, select any preset and then click on one of the newgrfs
20:42:04 <Yexo> that is using r14936 btw

20:47:21 <energetic> tnx for elaborating, rubidium
20:50:01 <George> frosch123: what a pity that you have closed FS2518 soo quickly! I could put some more GRFs and screen shots there :)
20:50:17 <petern> for what reason?
20:51:19 <frosch123> George: why do you bother about the bounding boxes? the articulated parts have the correct distant to each other nevertheless
20:52:27 <George> I hope they are, but I'm looking for a way to control it. I supposed I could use BBs to control it
20:52:48 <petern> to control what?
20:53:31 <George> I want to make longer RVs in a form like 6-4-6, where only the midle part has graphics, while other are invisible
20:54:12 <George> petern: to control position in the TTD world (BBs) to achieve less glitches
20:54:55 <petern> the bounding box is not really the cause of glitches when trying to use longer vehicles
20:55:26 <George> As you can remember, I planned to do LV5 in 2008-th. I asked to provide large RVs, but got ananswer to make them articulated. Now I decided to try it the articulated way
20:55:55 <George> petern: Can you suggest other way to controll glitches?

21:02:33 <glx> and AIs are not like newgrf anyway :)
21:02:49 <Yexo> that doesn't say they can't have a licence :)
21:03:02 <George> glx: done

22:37:03 *** TheMask96 has quit IRC
22:37:12 <frosch123> this discussion is silly, long vehicles will always glitch as there is just no room on the tiles

22:40:07 <George> Ideas? I need to come to some solution about LV5
22:40:09 <Eddi|zuHause> i will not be starting openttd for at least one week...
22:40:44 <frosch123> George: take a look at dbset, it also has long engines (some electric ones) which are made of multiple parts
22:40:55 <frosch123> they look ok on straight track
22:41:05 <frosch123> on slopes and in corners there is generally no solution
22:41:25 <Aali> Tim: I have a bundle with the merge I've done, which should work properly now :P you'd just have to unbundle that in the hg repo, update and compile
22:42:26 <George> frosch123: I understand, that everything is very bad from every side :S , but something has to be dine
22:42:33 <George> I want LV5
22:42:49 <frosch123> just split the vehicles in multiple parts
22:43:09 <frosch123> and don't care when they move against each other in corners and on slopes

22:44:33 <Tim> Aali: Hm, i guess it would take some time until i learn to do so ;)
22:45:05 <George> And a front part of a single body is turned according to the other? Eddi|zuHause, it would make everybody mad :S At least me for sure
22:45:38 <Eddi|zuHause> that's why i suggested the "no bend" flag. it just has to be implemented...

22:49:23 <Eddi|zuHause> they glitch with _something_ for sure, but the main problems imho with long vehicles are:
22:49:43 <Eddi|zuHause> a) glitches in road stations, which would be impossible, since articulated vehicles cannot enter them
22:50:01 <Eddi|zuHause> b) glitches in tunnels, vehicles disappearing when half of it would still be visible
22:50:10 <Eddi|zuHause> both of these could be solved
22:50:40 *** TheMask96 has quit IRC

23:53:26 <Tim> And what is the alpine climate? ;) Thought the snowy one was called arctic
23:53:37 <glx> Tim: alpine grf
23:53:44 <Sacro> also, is the end supposed to be in double quotes? cos it keeps removing them
23:53:58 <petern> quotes? what?
23:54:14 <frosch123> Tim: http://grfcrawler.tt-forums.net/details.php?do=details&id=107
23:54:19 <glx> Tim: temperate industries and graphics with variable snow line
23:54:20 <Sacro> musicdriver = extmidi:cmd=timidity -Od
23:54:22 <Sacro> is that right?
23:54:39 <petern> no parameters
23:54:43 *** Progman has quit IRC
23:54:43 <petern> parameters will not work
23:54:59 <Sacro> so how do i pass parameters?
23:55:02 <petern> you can't yet
23:55:07 <Sacro> you could before
23:55:08 <petern> unless you hardcode it
23:55:10 <Sacro> using an alias
23:55:10 *** worldemar has quit IRC
23:55:12 <petern> no you couldn't
23:55:17 <petern> well
23:55:19 <petern> that's using an alias
23:55:23 <petern> you can still use an alias
23:55:25 <Sacro> i'm sure my alias timidity=timidity -Od
23:55:28 <Sacro> worked just fine
23:55:38 <petern> assuming you mean shell alias
23:55:43 <Sacro> yep
23:55:50 <petern> although
23:56:02 <petern> timidity=timidity -Od seems stupid
23:56:10 <Tim> Couldn't i just edit the DBSetXL-grf to be suited to arctic, or is that complicated?
23:56:10 <Sacro> does it?
23:56:20 <petern> naming an alias the same as the command?
23:56:22 <petern> yes
23:56:35 <Sacro> I don't see why
23:56:37 <petern> however
23:56:43 <petern> if that worked before, it'll work now
23:56:46 <Sacro> alias ls = ls --color=auto is just fine
23:57:01 <petern> well, never mind :p
23:57:02 <Sacro> my distro came with that one
23:57:14 <petern> musicdriver extmidi:cmd=timidity
23:57:18 <petern> er
23:57:21 <Sacro> all i want is to get timidity using oss not alsa
23:57:21 <petern> musicdriver = extmidi:cmd=timidity
23:57:45 <Yexo> What is the easiest way to add an array of structs (instead of a struct with arrays) to the savegame/config file as settings? see http://paste.openttd.org/178600
23:58:10 <petern> which is, in fact, the default
23:58:15 <petern> so musicdriver = extmidi would be fine
23:58:19 <Sacro> hmm
23:58:29 <Sacro> grr, timidity plays it just fine
23:58:32 <Sacro> openttd doesn;t
23:58:56 <petern> it's called exactly the same. i didn't change that
23:59:18 <Sacro> is it $@ for all arguements?
