01:47:35 <knl> this game is sort of depressing sometimes... out of the blue companies i'm servicing lose a lot of production or even just shut down
01:47:52 <knl> is it better to ignore companies in the end, and just go for passangers or something? :(
01:48:24 <Aali> and they dont shut down or decrease production if you service them properly
01:48:49 <Rubidium> Aali: depends very much on the industry
01:49:05 <glx> oil wells always decrease
01:49:07 <knl> such as, delivering product to an industry, and if it makes something, deliver that too?
01:49:27 <Aali> just keep ratings over 80%
01:49:44 <knl> I have a really intricate chain of trains delivering everything to keep a vehicle factory (custom grf) supplied
01:50:08 <knl> the vehicles are then shipped off to an iron ore mine (?) and then... they actually don't help the production at all.
01:50:32 <Aali> they're not supposed to help production really
01:50:45 <Aali> its just a place to get rid of all those vehicles
01:51:15 <Rubidium> best place for such vehicles is a maglevel crossing
01:51:38 <knl> no, more like a competitor's road vehicles
01:52:29 <knl> hmm, this just gave me an idea
01:52:38 <knl> I wonder if it's possible to completely gridlock a small city with buses >_>
01:53:42 <Rubidium> that the vehicles can't get out of it anywhere in the future
01:53:49 <knl> they just move really slowly you mean
01:54:16 <Rubidium> well, they stand still for a while and then they start moving through the stopped vehicle in front of them
01:56:34 <knl> I have this really cute boat-to-truck fish delivery scheme going
01:56:40 <knl> but the boat speeds sort of kill it >_>
01:58:06 <Elukka> i had this thing where trucks delivered wood to a train which delivered it to the docks where ships delivered it to its destination
01:58:12 <Elukka> it actually turned a nice profit!
01:58:45 <knl> the speed compared to the distance traveled gives them a really huge boost in value
02:00:19 <knl> in the vehicle factory scheme i mentioned above...
02:00:39 <knl> my biggest earning train is actually the coal-> steel factory train >_>
02:01:48 <Aali> you should check the cargo payment rates graph
02:03:18 <knl> ...vehicles is absurdly high
02:03:33 <knl> but they take so long to full load the vehicles train that it don't really earn that much
02:04:16 <Aali> and you'll have a hard time getting rid of all the vehicles once production picks up
02:05:08 <knl> steel production isn't keeping up though...
02:05:37 <knl> the coal train earning so much is probably due to the fact that i'm using two other trains to get coal from other mines to take to the steel mill...
02:05:47 <knl> since the closest one had crappy production xd
02:07:53 <knl> oil wells closed out of the blue.
02:10:58 <Aali> dunno about ECS but with default industries all oil wells close eventually
02:11:15 <knl> well they would when the oil runs out, sure
02:11:29 <knl> but that one had at least 50million litres left to tap into, last time I'd checked
02:11:45 <Aali> oh, you're playing with exhaustible resources too?
02:12:05 <knl> i suppose it was turned on by default or something
02:12:14 <Aali> the value displayed doesn't actually indicate how much is left though
02:12:44 <Aali> its a VERY rough estimate and really only affects the "% chance to close"
02:12:56 <knl> sometimes it increases all of a sudden, too >_>
02:13:10 <knl> this one oil wells was on 300m when I started taking the oil
02:13:48 <Aali> yeah, that can happen if the initial estimate was too low
02:19:11 <knl> the iron ore mine stopped accepting vehicles.
02:35:11 <knl> how do I even change such things as the exhaustible resources or industries suddenly not accepting some cargo due to having too much of it
02:35:38 <Aali> you can do it with grf parameters
02:35:50 <Aali> see the documentation for whatever industry set you're using

09:56:28 <OsteHovel^EEE> I got a new record compiling OpenTTD... i used 1 minute and 5 secounds to compile the newest SVN. Having RAW power of 15.1 ghz (im using Distcc)
09:57:12 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
10:21:27 *** OsteHovel^EEE has joined #openttd
10:32:56 <petern> 1 minute 5 seconds? that's pretty bad
10:33:09 <OsteHovel^EEE> trying to improve it now...
10:39:52 <petern> i get about 17-18 seconds on my system, but that's for a debug build
10:40:16 <Progman> from a clean checkout?
10:40:35 <Progman> I need at least 17-18 seconds for the language files o_O
10:41:26 <petern> what do you compile on, a p233? :o
10:42:01 <OsteHovel^EEE> Do you guys use MSVC or GCC?
10:42:24 <petern> both. that timing was with gcc on linux, though.
10:45:15 <OsteHovel^EEE> when i say my timings they are always including the ./configure script.. and i use make mrproper before running the test,...
10:46:49 <OsteHovel^EEE> new personal record on building svn: just 50 secounds!
10:47:54 <OsteHovel^EEE> this time it was raw power of: 18.3 ghz...
10:48:08 <OsteHovel^EEE> distcc is a very good program
10:51:31 <OsteHovel^EEE> Good morning Mr. Dihedral
10:51:55 <OsteHovel^EEE> Have a god night with alot of sleep Mr. Dihedral?
10:51:59 <Progman> I have read thesedays distcc doesn't scale good enought if you got more than 3 hosts, can you confirm this?
10:52:30 <dihedral> OsteHovel^EEE, i see no upper case char in my nick!
10:52:39 <dihedral> so i assume you are talking to someone else
10:52:51 <OsteHovel^EEE> nope i wasent talking to someone else
10:53:14 <dihedral> well, i certainly have not been addressed in that line
10:57:03 <OsteHovel^EEE> Do it exist a lightweight IDE for Linux? im currently using Kdevelop but it woud have been nice to not need all the Qt/kde libs...
11:01:45 <Progman> kate is more lightweight but still needs kde ;)
11:02:16 <Roest> kate isnt really an IDE
11:02:24 <Rubidium> don't call eclipse + java lightweight
11:03:04 <OsteHovel^EEE> Java has never been lgihtweight
11:03:15 <Roest> well depends, eclipse you download, unpack and it runs, i consider that lightwieght
11:03:18 <OsteHovel^EEE> Someone here tried out Code::Blocks?
11:03:51 <Rubidium> Roest: yeah, then KDE is also lightweight if you've got KDE already installed
11:04:30 <OsteHovel^EEE> Im using Xubuntu on a EEE so i havent got Unlimited Space so i try to remove alot of libs if they are not used
11:04:35 <Roest> i always thought code blocks being some wxwidgets thingy
11:05:39 <Eddi|zuHause> i consider KDevelop lightweigt, i have to just click on it in YaST, and it runs.
11:05:51 <Wolf01> OsteHovel^EEE, I use code::blocks, but not for OTTD
11:06:10 * OsteHovel^EEE is trying to find/install/tryout anjuta
11:06:58 <OsteHovel^EEE> the one who said that Eclipse was just download and run was LYING
11:07:54 <dihedral> [11:57] <OsteHovel^EEE> Do it exist a lightweight IDE for Linux? <- vim
11:07:55 <OsteHovel^EEE> The first i got when i run it was: A Java runtime Enviroment...... bla bla bla need to be present bla bla bla
11:08:02 <OsteHovel^EEE> dihedral, vim :P
11:08:13 <dihedral> perhaps you might like emacs
11:08:24 <OsteHovel^EEE> i like nano (i know im a newbie....)
11:08:37 <Roest> rubidium cdt is 68MB that's lightweight when you have 1 or more TB hd space ;)
11:08:58 <OsteHovel^EEE> eclipse is MINIMUM 68 mb becouse you also need java and its HUGE!
11:09:15 <Roest> well java is installed anyway
11:09:21 <dihedral> <Roest> well depends, eclipse you download, unpack and it runs, i consider that lightwieght <- my grondmother does the same, but she runs very slow and is definitely not lightweight
11:09:21 <OsteHovel^EEE> i dont have java
11:09:57 <OsteHovel^EEE> and i dont need it... so i do not wanna wasste any space on my 4 gb SSD ...
11:10:00 *** smeding has joined #openttd
11:10:10 <dihedral> OsteHovel^EEE, what you wanting to develop ?
11:10:24 <OsteHovel^EEE> dihedral, not sure...
11:10:32 <OsteHovel^EEE> im just testing them all out
11:10:39 <OsteHovel^EEE> C or/and C++ apps
11:10:43 <dihedral> i would use the word "idiot" lightly again, but i think that would not go down very well
11:10:57 <Roest> sorry was talking computers not mobile phones :)
11:11:23 * dihedral knows computers with even less space
11:11:32 <el_en> wtf, did someone just call Eclipse lightweight?
11:11:46 <dihedral> unless you redefine the word
11:12:14 <OsteHovel^EEE> anjuta is a IDE and its very light...
11:12:19 <Roest> and now we know previously unknown facts about dihedral's gramma
11:12:28 <dihedral> Roest only said it was something that runs out of the box which covers his definition of lightweit
11:12:42 <dihedral> Roest, i shall find a "lightweight" girl for you :-D
11:12:53 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
11:13:10 <dihedral> OsteHovel^EEE, an IDE
11:13:41 <dihedral> emacs is the best thing i can think of for your use
11:13:47 <OsteHovel^EEE> just to clearify for everyone... i have a EEE with 4 gb space for system libraries and applications... it has a 1.6 ghz Intel Atom CPU and i have 2gb of ram and i need a good IDE for it...
11:13:54 <dihedral> if it must be an ide that is
11:14:20 <dihedral> and when i say vim i mean vim not vim.tiny
11:14:27 <fjb> Vim is great, no need for an ide.
11:14:41 <OsteHovel^EEE> nano & xterm & make works good...
11:14:50 <OsteHovel^EEE> but its not a ide...
11:15:07 <el_en> nano is almost the worst possible editor for coding.
11:15:35 <OsteHovel^EEE> Do it exist a other edit(*msdos*) clone for linux??
11:15:35 <Roest> i cannot code in simple text editors anymore, i got spoiled by intellisense
11:15:40 <dihedral> el_en, rephrase please
11:15:55 <dihedral> it is (one of) the worst possible editor
11:16:56 <dihedral> useful if you have like huge space issues
11:17:20 <OsteHovel^EEE> I ran out of diskspace... I forgot to remove Eclipse...
11:17:20 <Alberth> GIMP is nice when programming Piet, I think
11:18:01 *** NukeBuster has joined #openttd
11:18:29 <dihedral> OsteHovel^EEE, which project will even fit in that space you have left if not the ide even anymore :-D
11:19:19 <OsteHovel^EEE> i have more than 1 drive
11:19:38 <OsteHovel^EEE> i have a 8gb drive that i mounted /home
11:20:02 <Roest> why put eclipse on the small one then?
11:20:45 <dihedral> because that is / and he does not know how to install without apt-get
11:21:18 <OsteHovel^EEE> i did unpack eclipse to /opt/eclipse :P
11:22:23 * OsteHovel^EEE is now compilling efte...
11:24:50 <OsteHovel^EEE> i think i stay with KDevelop
11:27:04 <OsteHovel^EEE> kdevelop has a lot of nice functions and it works out of the box using apt-get...
11:27:24 <OsteHovel^EEE> but its not lightweight but shit happens...
11:28:20 <el_en> when you try out efte, you'll notice you don't need KDevelop anymore.
11:28:40 <Roest> which version of kde are you using?
11:32:53 <dihedral> whats wrong withthat
11:34:12 <OsteHovel^EEE> thats lightweight
11:36:15 <OsteHovel^EEE> F9 to compile is in nearly all IDE's
11:37:11 <OsteHovel^EEE> isent Xcode for Mac?

11:59:43 <Steve14> I noticed a little bug in the music box, it doesn't play the 22nd track
12:06:30 <Rubidium> Steve14: sounds you're playing 0.6.3, right?
12:07:18 <Rubidium> it's already fixed in trunk
12:07:27 <Steve14> Could verify my problem by changing the names of gm_tt00.gm and gm_tt21.gm
12:08:34 <Steve14> Are there any packages avaible or do I've to compile it?
12:09:14 <Rubidium> go to the openttd website and look for the nightly instead of the stable download
12:09:36 <Steve14> Ok, thanks for your help, Rubidium
12:09:54 <Roujin> you'll be surprised about all kinds of new stuff available there, too ;)
12:10:04 *** smallfly has joined #openttd
12:10:19 <Steve14> What stuff for example? :D
12:10:38 <Eddi|zuHause> that's a surprise ;)
12:11:04 <Tefad> ShaaazzzzzzooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo
12:13:08 <smallfly> the performance concerning a game like openttd, written in c# and sdl.net seems to be very less; i will switch to c++ now; which graphic-api should i use to make the game portable? directx isnt portable, correct? is opengl portable to linux/mac?
12:13:23 <Steve14> Hehe, Is there any patch that pretends the AI from building 90° turns when the option "trains and ships aren't allowed to take 90° turns" is enabled?
12:14:15 <OsteHovel^EEE> smallfly: cant you use C++ and SDL, or Allegro(openttd uses it when you use 3d)
12:14:39 <el_en> smallfly: sí, señor. opengl is portable, but it's only a graphics api. you'll have to handle input from user somehow, too.
12:14:54 <Yexo> Steve14: no, but again, try a nightly, it comes with noai, a framework for user-build AIs.
12:15:03 <OsteHovel^EEE> SDL & Allegro is OpenSource and is running under the most used os'es
12:15:56 <el_en> OsteHovel^EEE: openttd uses Allegro since when?
12:16:18 <OsteHovel^EEE> el_en: when you use 32bpp grapics
12:16:20 <Steve14> ok, thx, I'm downloading the nightly right now
12:16:29 <OsteHovel^EEE> but only in SVN
12:17:35 <smallfly> i dont have any problem with sdl concerning input issues. for that its fine. and if you say sdl (i think you mean the tao sdl lib?) is portable ill use it for that. i used sdl in a c# application. the blitting was very slow. but if openttd is programmed with sdl, i will use it. perhaps the c# wrapper slowed it down too much
12:18:39 *** Wezz6400 has joined #openttd
12:20:01 <el_en> smallfly: openttd uses SDL only on linux, afaik.
12:20:04 <OsteHovel^EEE> you can compile OpenTTD with Allegro or SDL (when usinig Linnux)
12:20:23 <Steve14> Finally an ingame download menu ^^
12:21:36 <OsteHovel^EEE> OpenTTD can use: Windows: GDI, SDL, (maybe Allegro) | Linux: SDL, Allegro | Mac: Cocoa
12:22:05 <smallfly> whats the fastest of those?
12:22:36 <el_en> OsteHovel^EEE: i don't see a reason why it couldn't use SDL on Mac too.
12:22:37 <smallfly> (i want to program an extension for individual car traffic, which will need thousands of blitting operations per second)
12:22:47 <OsteHovel^EEE> im checking it out
12:22:57 <OsteHovel^EEE> i think both Allegro and SDL is avable for mac too
12:23:05 <OsteHovel^EEE> checking it out now...
12:25:18 <OsteHovel^EEE> sdl is avable on mac
12:26:05 <OsteHovel^EEE> openttd can use SDL on mac... but you cant use SDL and COCOA in the same build
12:26:06 <smallfly> mmh ... so why not using sdl on every os instead of using different apis on different os's?
12:26:26 <OsteHovel^EEE> becouse COCOA is maybe faster than SDL on Mac...
12:26:33 <OsteHovel^EEE> GDI in windows is faster than SDL on windows...
12:26:52 <smallfly> gdi is faster than sdl on windows?
12:27:20 <OsteHovel^EEE> OpenTTD run faster using Windows GDI than SDL grapic rendering..
12:27:29 <smallfly> i "learned" sdl, because i thought gdi wouldnt be able to blit those (2048^2) tiles
12:27:56 <OsteHovel^EEE> allegro is also posible to use on Mac but the same as SDL you cant have Cocoa and Allegro in the same build...
12:28:03 <el_en> smallfly: no doubt the reason for using native apis is performance.
12:28:18 <OsteHovel^EEE> If you build for Windows you can have GDI, SDL and Allegro in the same build...
12:29:00 <smallfly> ok, so i think ill use gdi to program it on my machine. the i can still integrate other apis for other os's. the input handling works with sdl on every os, right?
12:29:04 <OsteHovel^EEE> SDL is very portable... and it is a very good library for easy access to input, sound, grapics... ;D
12:29:15 <OsteHovel^EEE> SDL works on all major OS'es
12:29:30 <smallfly> k, thanks a lot for your help ;-)
12:29:38 <Steve14> Is it normal that I've black squares, when I'm using the OpenGFX Interface, Yexo ?
12:29:57 <smallfly> opengfx lacks some graphics --> black rectangles
12:30:04 <OsteHovel^EEE> You can use SDL input method on every os and then use GDI to draw on windows but if you on Linux you use SDL for drawing...
12:30:14 <el_en> smallfly: if I were you, I'd start with SDL regardless of performance, to avoid limiting potential developers to those running Windows.
12:30:49 <dihedral> smallfly, i read you want to switch to c++?
12:31:03 <smallfly> yeah, for performance reasons
12:31:09 <OsteHovel^EEE> Why is OS=wince a posibility in the Openttd configure file but it isent supported...
12:31:21 <smallfly> i still prefer c# but i think its too slow for my objectives
12:31:26 <OsteHovel^EEE> VB(v.6 or earlier) is better than C#
12:31:32 *** Roujin_ has joined #openttd
12:31:39 <dihedral> then you can just as well patch openttd
12:32:07 <Rubidium> OsteHovel^EEE: primarily because it was a work in progress and adding it there doesn't cause (much) trouble
12:32:09 <smallfly> after getting a c++ specialist, ill surely programm some patches for openttd
12:32:48 <OsteHovel^EEE> Rubidium: :P i guessed that... it do infact exist a port for Wince... and it working nice... i use it on my HTC Touch Pro..
12:32:50 <smallfly> the nice thing of my switch to c++: i can use all those thick game programming books bought in the last years
12:33:33 <dihedral> smallfly, i am sorry
12:33:41 <dihedral> but you sound more and more silly the more you talk
12:33:47 <el_en> dihedral: it is a good idea to write something from scratch rather than waste time on the very non-extendable openttd source.
12:34:10 <Rubidium> OsteHovel^EEE: major problem with those ports is that they mutilate the source code in such a way that you can't compile any other platforms anymore, thus it's very hard for us to use stuff from them
12:34:37 <dihedral> el_en, i am more laughing at the reasoning :-P
12:34:49 <Rubidium> and even then the ones that have tried couldn't get a working test environment (crosscompiling wince failed)
12:35:15 <el_en> dihedral: well yeah, the reasoning is great. :)
12:35:31 <dihedral> starting off with "readability of c++ is so bad"
12:35:44 <dihedral> going on with "i prefer c#"
12:35:50 <OsteHovel^EEE> Rubidium: i dident say you shoud work on a WinCE port... And Please do NOT prioritise a port to WinCE becouse other things are more important... and the devices do suffer from not so fast CPU
12:35:58 <dihedral> then came the lovely license stuff
12:36:07 <dihedral> smallfly really cracks me up
12:36:12 *** Swallow has joined #openttd
12:38:34 <OsteHovel^EEE> Is there some way to close a window when you are at the main menu widout clicking at the [X] ?
12:39:11 <OsteHovel^EEE> when im at the main menu and have clicked on settings
12:39:23 <OsteHovel^EEE> Del and Backspace dosent work
12:39:29 <smallfly> dihedral, as long as you can amuse yourself ...
12:39:31 <Rubidium> hmm... ofcourse, that's probably coupled to the toolbar gui
12:39:31 <OsteHovel^EEE> If you ingame it works
12:39:40 <OsteHovel^EEE> Ctrl+Q quits the whole game
12:39:46 <dihedral> smallfly, no - i dont amuse myself - i am amused by you
12:40:15 <dihedral> i doubt i am alone there too
12:41:15 <smallfly> dont know where the problem is. our world is cheerless enough.
12:41:54 <dihedral> i am laughing my head off at times :-P
12:42:29 <Roujin_> you are so mean, sometimes...
12:42:32 <Roest> d1H3dR4l whats going on
12:42:40 <dihedral> Roujin_, i am not mean
12:42:58 <dihedral> i just let him know that he kinda makes my day at times
12:43:05 <dihedral> that is a good thing :-P
12:43:08 <Roujin_> telling someone that you are amused by his efforts is mean, in my opinion
12:43:20 <dihedral> Roujin_, besides: he is asking for it, c'mon
12:43:21 <Roest> you were totally mean to that poor dyslexic person too
12:43:35 <dihedral> my last post was great
12:43:42 <dihedral> besides - i know Alain a little bit longer
12:44:02 <dihedral> you did not follow his compile success did you?
12:44:47 <Roest> ok so we'll see his patchpack this year
12:45:36 <Roest> besides i just discovered that improved station build gui, i fear what i'm using myself slowly develops into a patchpack again
12:46:13 <Ammler> Roest: using mercurial this time?
12:46:37 *** OsteHovel^EEE has joined #openttd
12:47:08 <Roest> maybe one day i will find the time and will to learn how to use that
12:47:52 <Ammler> using hg like svn doesn't need much additional learning
12:48:46 <dihedral> Roest, when you do - create a post and blatently refuse to do any reading of documentation but rather ask questions, each question in its separate post
12:49:24 <Roest> of course, i'm sure that's the best way to get answers and you don't confuse people with several questions in one post
12:52:53 <Roest> and seriously it's much more efficient if someone explains it to you and you don't have to read through poorly written documentation
12:53:29 <dihedral> nobody will help you if you dont show some own initiative
12:54:04 <Alberth> and you miss all the nifty features of mercurial that svn is lacking
12:54:13 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: yexo * r15477 /3rdparty/squirrel/squirrel/sqbaselib.cpp: [Squirrel] -Fix: disable some standard squirrel functions, among others thread support.
12:55:19 <Alberth> can squirrel not be copied into trunk? that would make keeping up to date so much easier.
12:55:25 <dihedral> Yexo, that looks interesting ;)
12:55:40 <dihedral> Alberth, --ignore-externals
12:55:56 <Yexo> threads didn't work properly, only now AIs can't even try to use them
12:56:03 <dihedral> Yexo, no compile time advantage? ;-)
12:56:09 <Yexo> and it disables some other squirerl functions AIs should never use
12:56:20 <Alberth> dihedral: tell that to mercurial when making local repository copies
12:56:22 <Yexo> dihedral: +- 10 functions in one cpp file, don't think that counts :)
12:57:06 <dihedral> Alberth, svn co svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk openttd && cd openttd && hg init .
12:57:22 <dihedral> Yexo, thought it involved a wee bit more :-P
12:57:24 <Roest> cool someone just suggested priorities
12:57:48 <dihedral> the Suggestion forum is not one of them :-D
13:07:12 <dihedral> "with -s null works great, but no sound" <- LOL
13:10:20 <Yexo> dihedral: can't say I like that first thread
13:10:57 <dihedral> no, i just like your reply
13:11:54 <Yexo> I never post in off-topic. Are you not confusing me with someone else?
13:12:09 <dihedral> which thread do you mean?
13:12:54 <Yexo> the first link you posted was to: "TT-forums story - Real version"
13:13:58 <dihedral> i dont even read off topic myself!
13:14:14 <dihedral> i posted the "Help with scenario Editor"
13:15:29 <Yexo> now I really wonder how I went to that offtopic thread
13:16:19 <dihedral> you did get me very confused there
13:16:19 <Yexo> about that other post, I really didn't know what to add there, wasn't really any advice I could think off
13:17:09 <Yexo> I know :). Just change the t= in your link to p=
13:17:52 <dihedral> i either tend to click on it, or do a full copy paste the url
13:18:37 <Yexo> normally I do to, but x-chat sometimes starts to ignore clicks on links, and if it does, it doesn't copy-paste either
13:18:41 <Yexo> only a restart helps then
13:19:45 <dihedral> right click: open link in browser
13:20:49 <Yexo> doesn't work as soon as x-chat starts behaving strange, after a restart it all works again
13:21:01 *** lewymati has joined #openttd
13:22:39 <Roujin> did someone ever manage to fit > 255 trains through a single line, with a min signal distance of 2?
13:23:07 <dihedral> just make the line long enough
13:23:13 <dihedral> and choose a big map :-D
13:23:18 <Roujin> that's not what I mean
13:23:20 <kingj> Then the station becomes a problem
13:23:40 <Roujin> I mean a frequency of 255 trains through a specific tile, during a month
13:24:15 <dihedral> i dont count trains for 2.4 minutes
13:24:35 <dihedral> and if you make the trains short enough, perhaps might work
13:24:44 <Roujin> I just tried with maglev4 engines (no carriages) and managed 124, with a distance between the trains that seemed a bit less-than-optimal
13:25:47 <Rubidium> 2 tl, .5 tl trains -> 2.5 tl distance between trains is optimal (for throughput)
13:28:02 * OsteHovel^EEE made his own script to get the volume hotkeys to work...
13:28:25 <Roujin> which translates to "can someone fit more than 255 trains through a waypoint during one month"?
13:28:53 <Rubidium> max speed: ~65000 km/h
13:29:11 <Roujin> okay, I did not take this into account
13:29:24 <Rubidium> tile is 700 km on a side
13:29:45 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: 37.1428571429
13:30:12 <Rubidium> 37 a game hour? sounds somewhat wrong
13:30:26 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: 92.8571428571
13:31:20 <Rubidium> ^ that many tiles a day, so 90 tiles an hour seems possible
13:31:28 <Roujin> this 65000 km/h, is this in game units?
13:31:58 <Rubidium> which translates to 65535/1.6 mph
13:32:06 <Roujin> did anyone ever make a train with this speed? :P (guess that does not count)
13:32:06 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
13:32:53 <Roujin> ok, does any sane person play this game with trains that run that fast? :P
13:33:25 *** tkjacobsen has joined #openttd
13:33:34 <Rubidium> please define sane for me
13:33:37 <Swallow> at openttdcoop they had a special logic train which did...
13:34:24 <Roujin> well, I guess I'll just use uint16 to be safe
13:35:06 <Roujin> hope no one complains about the counter resetting to zero when fitting through 65536 trains in a month
13:36:00 <Rubidium> just cap it at 255 I'd say
13:36:28 <Ammler> Roujin: I test your patch with our new pile transport
13:36:31 <Rubidium> @calc 640/700/2.5*24*31
13:36:31 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: 272.091428571
13:37:10 <Roujin> hmm, what's that number?
13:37:13 <Rubidium> @calc 640/700/3*24*31
13:37:13 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: 226.742857143
13:37:50 <Rubidium> Roujin: single-headed Chimaera, the second is double headed theoretical max trains per month
13:37:59 <Rubidium> @calc 480/700/2.5*24*31
13:37:59 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: 204.068571429
13:38:13 <Rubidium> ^ single headed pegasus
13:38:24 <Rubidium> so with the normal vehicles you can't reach it
13:39:12 <Roujin> so... way to go is keep uint8 and account for overflow?
13:39:47 <Rubidium> so I'd say just cap it at 255, but make a comment that with vehicles smaller or faster than the Chimaera it could overflow
13:39:48 <Roujin> i.e. - num++; + if (num < 255) num++;
13:40:04 <Rubidium> of use the overflowsafe type
13:40:48 <Roujin> which type would that be?
13:41:32 <Rubidium> the one called OverflowSafeInt
13:41:55 <Rubidium> though that's maybe too complex for there
13:42:30 <Rubidium> I'd use if (num < MAX_UVALUE(num)) num++;
13:43:19 <Rubidium> or at least something so changing the type of num updates the max value automagically
13:43:39 *** Roujin_ has joined #openttd
13:44:00 <Ammler> highest number here is 55
13:45:18 <Eddi|zuHause> make a newgrf engine with length 3/8, speed 65000, long line with no signals, pixel-place the vehicles behind each other so they don't crash, and hit "start all"
13:45:29 <Roujin_> I'd use if (num < MAX_UVALUE(num)) num++; <-- that would be MAX_UVALUE([type_of_num]), no?
13:45:53 <Rubidium> well, type_of_num doesn't automagically change
13:46:10 <Rubidium> maybe MAX_UVALUE(typeof(num)) works
13:48:48 <Roujin_> error C3861: "typeof": Bezeichner wurde nicht gefunden.
13:49:09 <Roujin_> erm, sorry for the german :P
13:51:09 <SpComb> localized compiler errors D:
13:52:38 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: months vary in length ;)
13:52:45 <Ammler> monthly stat isn't that exact
13:52:52 <Roujin_> Ammler: what kind of trains? I reached 144 in a specific test game
13:52:56 <Ammler> shouldn't you make it daily?
13:53:16 <Eddi|zuHause> and keep in mind that people might use the daylength patch
13:53:37 <Roujin_> this day: 1 train, last day: 0 trains
13:53:40 <Eddi|zuHause> possibly, make it configurable ;)
13:53:51 <Ammler> Roujin_: well numberOfTrains/daysOfMonth
13:54:36 <Eddi|zuHause> day, week, month, ITiM hours
13:55:26 <Eddi|zuHause> number of trains per ITiM days would imho be a much more useful statistics than a "month"
13:55:43 <Roujin_> only when using that patch, though
13:55:46 <Swallow> a patch should be against trunk, not against <insert some patch here>
13:56:25 <Eddi|zuHause> it should not be "against <patch>", but maybe it should be considered "extendible to support <patch>"
13:57:14 <Eddi|zuHause> it is not a primary goal, but maybe a secondary
13:57:39 <Ammler> Roujin_: I bet, you aren't able to make a working (with real transport) network, which has >100
13:58:11 <Ammler> hmm, forget my last line
13:58:25 <Roujin_> just found one in your game? :D
13:59:00 <Ammler> no, but you guys can make 100 mines together and call that network ;-)
14:01:11 <Ammler> 61 is still the highest here, but really cool patch :-)
14:01:26 <Roujin_> Alberth: uhm, I think we already have MAX_UVALUE for that in openttd..
14:01:51 <TinoDidriksen> The problem isn't getting the value; the problem is getting the type, portably.

14:10:26 <energetic> if you want to remove the 8co/ 11 clients limit, can you let ordinary 063 clients connect to aserver having this limit removed?
14:11:06 <Yexo> the limit is removed in trunk, so you won't have that problem in 0.7
14:11:22 <Roujin_> energetic: use nightly, limit raised to 15 comp / 255 players
14:11:57 <energetic> Roujin_: we can but our clients cant :)
14:12:28 <Roujin_> well then you'll have to wait until 0.7 :P

14:13:32 <dihedral> energetic, why can your clients not?
14:13:44 <dihedral> are those then even the type of clients you want to attract
14:14:00 <dihedral> why do servers have to follow the clients can do?
14:14:46 <dihedral> sounds like you just host a server because of the few clients you have :-P
14:15:02 <Roest> and whats wrong about that?
14:15:03 <dihedral> for those windows users there is by the something like windowsupdate
14:17:06 <energetic> requiring a patch isnt that cool
14:18:11 <energetic> i can make a patch so we can play pong inside ottd. But that would go past the point of having trunk.
14:18:38 <energetic> cool by default is way cooler ;)
14:19:07 <dihedral> energetic, requireing a nightly is not that tricky
14:19:45 <energetic> you get ottdcoop circumstances that way. not coo.
14:20:03 <dihedral> what are 'openttdcoop circumstances'?
14:20:08 <energetic> every other 5min another client required
14:20:41 <dihedral> energetic, the time you chose to upgrade your server is still left up to you
14:21:00 <dihedral> and you seem not to know how seldom an upgrade actually takes place at coop
14:21:19 <energetic> ( no pun intended btw)
14:21:59 <energetic> well, times I played there, I had (check program files dir) 18 updates needed to continue to play
14:22:03 <energetic> over about 3 nights
14:22:40 <energetic> since ottd doesnt have a version control system for endusers, its a pain. At elast: I experienced it as a pain.
14:22:44 <dihedral> energetic, requiring a grfpack is something else
14:22:53 <dihedral> than needing a certain revision
14:23:02 <dihedral> if you dont want to upgrade often, then dont
14:23:11 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
14:23:37 <energetic> well, if any player with the latest downloaded ottd can join, no prob
14:23:50 <energetic> then nigtlies etc are great
14:23:53 <Ammler> energetic: that is something like a "pre" noob filter
14:24:14 <energetic> but right now they cant join a r10 game when they have a r9 clients
14:24:34 <dihedral> can you join 0.5.3 with 0.6.3?
14:24:37 <Roest> isn't that what versions are for?
14:24:38 <energetic> as user it is very weird
14:25:00 <energetic> that you have ottd, you cannot join ottd games!
14:25:14 <dihedral> energetic, you seem to be missing a point
14:25:18 <Roest> energetic first you sounded like someone who knew what he was saying, now it's getting a little weird
14:25:18 <dihedral> as Roest pointed out
14:25:36 <dihedral> Roest, like a small fly
14:25:49 <energetic> from a technical and dev perspective it is completely logical r9 users cant join r10 games
14:26:06 <energetic> but from user perspective its totally illogical behaviour
14:26:17 <energetic> they have ottd, and they cant join ottd games
14:26:22 <dihedral> for that kind of users there are tools
14:26:23 <energetic> its as simple as that
14:26:37 <Yexo> energetic: have you seen any user trying to join a call of duty 1 server while he has call of duty 2?
14:26:37 <dihedral> energetic, + it works on openttdcoop
14:26:50 <Yexo> it's exactly the same here
14:27:12 <energetic> well, major versions are clear to users
14:27:19 <energetic> they are marketed as such, too.
14:27:31 <energetic> basically as different games
14:27:39 <Roest> btw on a totally unrelated note, 250000 scoville is really hot and i should've taken less
14:28:13 <OsteHovel^EEE> When you browse/selects content to download in content downloading you shoud be able to select/deselect packages with <space>
14:28:15 <Ammler> energetic: it is mostly also possible here
14:28:42 <Rubidium> OsteHovel^EEE: space is already used for the filter
14:28:45 <dihedral> Ammler, energetic will say he cannot start openttd with --revision :-D
14:29:15 <OsteHovel^EEE> Hear me out now...
14:29:35 <energetic> but stupid windows users who bought the game in 94 now wanting to play ottd on the interwebz dont
14:29:46 <energetic> they just wanna click 'join'
14:30:22 <Yexo> energetic: then using a nightly prevents such users from joining your server, that's only an advantage :)
14:30:22 <Sacro> energetic: well they should learn
14:30:33 <OsteHovel^EEE> When i open the Window "Content Downloading" i can click on the filter textbox and enter text fine... but when you set your focus to the List with the packages you can browse up and down with the Arrow keys and Use Enter to select, can you just add space to be able to add packages when the Package list is in Focus...
14:30:44 <energetic> depends on what public you want to attract
14:30:46 <Roest> my mother is 71 and plays world of warcraft, as long that's possible no stupid windows user excuse has any value
14:30:56 <dihedral> energetic, suit yourself if those are the users you want to host games for
14:31:11 <dihedral> they will be the same stupid way when needing help or have ideas for your server
14:31:34 <energetic> well, i think the userbase of ~30 yo ppl having played ttdx and now want to continue playing ottd is quite large
14:31:57 <dihedral> energetic, continue - you are starting to amuse others ;-0
14:32:27 * energetic is sounding like he is flaming. Thats not /me's intention :)
14:32:38 <Roest> why again aren't you just hosting a 0.6.3 game then?
14:34:24 <dihedral> Roest, he's tooooo .... energetic for that
14:34:33 <Roujin_> OsteHovel^EEE: uhm, did I understand you correctly that you suggest making "space" select packages in the content list?
14:35:29 <OsteHovel^EEE> When you have the list in focus(when you can press the Up arrow or Down arrow key to jump between content) it shoud be able to press enter or/and space to select a package...
14:35:57 <OsteHovel^EEE> today you can press enter to select a package but cant you include space as alternative key
14:36:15 <Roujin_> ah yes I see. Well it was space before. I changed it to enter with my patch that added the filter textbox
14:36:39 <Roujin_> because back then the widget focus patch was not yet in trunk
14:37:03 <TinoDidriksen> Space is more common. Enter accepts your current choices and closes the dialog, usually.
14:37:06 <Roujin_> it should not be hard to change it back to space (or both space and enter)
14:37:25 <Roujin_> TinoDidriksen: I know, but space was needed for the textbox and enter wasn't

15:27:33 <Rubidium> 2048x2048 is 8GB uncompressed
15:27:47 <kingj> And if I drag track from one corner to another, comes to 2047 units, probably missed one square on start of click
15:27:53 <Elukka> downloading the game and the scenario needs much less than a giant screenshot of a big map :D
15:29:44 <kingj> So why is my screenshot not as big as you predict? I let it run compeltely, didn't terminate OTTD. Running the latest binary Cargopax build
15:30:15 <planetmaker> some png has some compression afaik

15:33:07 <planetmaker> KingJ: make it bigger :)
15:33:56 <kingj> It's already got 15 platforms ;)
15:34:06 <dihedral> that's a small station
15:34:25 <kingj> 9k of the passengers want to go to another nearby station though, and the only route there is a 4 platform station. I can't make the station any bigger because then the track will overload
15:34:35 <kingj> and I can't build more track without destroying central london :P
15:34:44 <Timitry> build more tracks then ;-)

15:48:29 <Roujin__> building 300 depots in a row and then building an engine in each takes time.. :(
15:50:06 <Roujin__> although I coded myself a little hack that automatically sets all the trains to "ignore signals" so I didn't have to set this for each train, one by one. :P
15:51:00 <Aali> you could just use the vehicle console commands patch
15:51:58 <Roujin__> well, a little FOR_ALL_VEHICLES did the job in my case..

16:59:03 <Roujin> any suggestions what I should change the "Most trains in one month" string into to be consistent with the other changes? i.e. "Trains passed this month:" -> "Traffic this month"; "Trains passed last month:" -> "Traffic last month:"; "Most trains in one month:" -> ???
16:59:51 <Roujin> I currently have "Maximum traffic", does that sound strange?
16:59:54 <Eddi|zuHause> Maximum traffic?
17:00:52 <Elukka> i think peak traffic sounds a bit better
17:01:39 <Roujin> but, is it also descriptive?
17:02:09 <Elukka> well, it means the same
17:03:20 <Prof_Frink> Nah, Peak traffic is a queue going to Stanage.
17:05:03 <Wolf01> does anybody of you develops for windows mobile?
17:05:25 <Alberth> Roujin: Most traffic in one month?
17:05:53 <Wolf01> I have troubles with an application which should use a database
17:06:38 <Alberth> Roujin: I was thinking along the lines of 'busiest', but that doesn't come out right
17:07:12 <Roujin> now there's one more thing that came to my mind..
17:07:38 <Roujin> currently the "most traffic in one month" counter is only updated every month
17:08:03 <Elukka> how about "most traffic per month"?
17:08:43 <Alberth> Roujin: "in one month" can be interpreted as such imho
17:08:58 <Roujin> i.e. if the month that just passed had more trains than what already is in there, overwrite that.
17:09:42 <Roujin> now, an idea I had is, should it maybe also already overwrite that value during a running month?
17:10:43 <Alberth> probably, otherwise it takes up-to a month before the first update
17:10:56 <Roujin> i.e. max traffic == 15, and now the 16th train this month passes the waypoint; "traffic this month" jumps from 15 to 16, should "maximum traffic" now also display 16? or not?
17:11:29 <Alberth> I'd think so, otherwise 'maximum' is a bit weird
17:12:10 <Alberth> You'd have to say 'maximum in the past' or so
17:18:27 <kosher> I have a little problem with OpenTTD 0.6.3 and GRVTS
17:19:18 <kosher> I just got a possibility to use the 2-section coal truck but. However, it fails to find its way to loading station.

23:02:21 <BFKeil> Anyway, I was just playing with some ECS vectors, and I noticed that ever since r15422 I don't get any money for any of the new cargos. They work just fine if I keep the genworld.cpp from 15421, but that apparently causes some problems other places (FS#2623).
23:06:05 <Yexo> BFKeil: confirmed, I'll try to fix it
23:06:31 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: Commit by rubidium :: r15422 /trunk/src (genworld.cpp openttd.cpp) (2009-02-08 23:06:56 UTC)
23:06:32 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: -Fix [FS#2623] (r15383): loading NewGRFs before copying the settings.
23:06:48 <Yexo> 15383 is causing more problems :(
23:06:51 <Rubidium> so revert r15422 and part of r15383 I'd say
23:07:49 <Yexo> maybe that's the best solution, but first I'm going to try to find the problem
23:08:09 <Rubidium> newgrfs must be set up before initialising the economy
23:12:20 <Rubidium> actually, also the difficulty settings etc.
23:12:39 <Yexo> 15383 is completely wrong
23:15:23 <Yexo> Rubidium: reverting both 15383 and 15422 ok?
23:15:24 <el_en> should it be "I'm going to try AND find the problem" in englishshsh?
23:17:45 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: yexo * r15495 /trunk/src/ (genworld.cpp genworld_gui.cpp openttd.cpp): -Revert (r15383,r15422): Loading NewGRFs depends on correct settings, but the economy can only be started after loading NewGRFs. In short: r15383 causes more problems then it's worth.
23:18:21 <Yexo> el_en: I've no idea, but that sounds like that you're sure you'll find the problem, which I wasn't
23:19:06 <BFKeil> I like both "try and find" and "try to find"... "try and find" is more colloquial, though.
23:21:36 <Ammler> is it possible to translate "try and find" to german?
23:22:10 <db48x> that's a silly question
23:22:35 <Rubidium> Ammler: try and find (out)
23:22:36 <Ammler> I guess, that just doesn't exist here.
23:22:44 *** Phoenix_the_II has joined #openttd
23:22:45 <BFKeil> Hmm... "Ich geh mal kurz versuchen, das zu finden"?
23:22:52 <db48x> Ammler: can you translate "try to find"?
23:22:57 <db48x> they mean the same thing
23:23:23 <el_en> Yexo: as far as i understand, "try and find" means the same as "try to find", but the first form seems to be what people actually say in american tv series at least.
23:23:59 <el_en> and i don't think they are implying more certainty of finding than with "to".
23:24:04 <Yexo> as long as I'm understood I don't really care about it
23:24:46 <BFKeil> That seems about right. Probably some regional variation on choice of "and" vs. "to", as well. I know the form with "and" drives my father crazy.
23:25:40 <Rubidium> philosophically speaking "try to find" and "try and find" are not the same
23:26:16 <Ammler> if I translate "try and find" word by word, it is impossible
23:26:17 <Rubidium> the latter implies that you will find it, the former implies that you might find it
23:27:48 <Ammler> Rubidium: but if you will find it, you don't need to try.
23:28:26 <BFKeil> I don't believe that the "and" in "try and find" isn't the same as the "and" in "John likes Mary and John likes Sue".
23:29:11 <BFKeil> The second "and" is connecting two facts, coordinating them.
23:29:25 <Rubidium> welcome to the world of ambiguity
23:29:46 <Yexo> BFKeil: if you state it as two facts, you have 1) You'll try . and 2) You'll find it
23:29:53 <Ammler> maybe the "and" inherits something like "and hopefully"
23:29:59 <BFKeil> The "and" in "try and find" seems to make the "find" somehow subordinate to "try."
23:32:03 <Nite_Owl> "try to find" is grammatically correct but "try and find" is an accepted colloquialism - again; as long as you are understood and not in an English class it matters little
23:32:13 <dihedral> try to find -> you make an effort to find something, with no guarentee
23:33:06 <dihedral> "i'll try to find my sister"
23:33:12 <dihedral> you would not use "and" here
23:34:12 * Ammler is more interested in explainations for "and" :-)
23:34:41 <dihedral> find and try (e.g. software)
23:34:47 <dihedral> as you first need to find then try
23:35:34 <Ammler> still logical but we talked about try and find (try first)
23:39:30 <BFKeil> I'll leave y'all to try your hands at the Gordion knot that is English "and". I'm going start playing r15495 :)
23:46:03 <Ammler> I'm going to dream about AND
