IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2009-02-19
⏴ go to previous day
00:12:07 <Felicitus> Yexo: are you still here?
00:12:48 <Felicitus> i'm wondering why exceptions are printed in the console if they were caught
00:13:43 <Rubidium> probably because exceptions are printed once thrown instead of when not caught by the AI
00:13:54 <Yexo> iirc it wan't possible to disable printing it when the error was caught. It was either printing all of them or printing no errors at all
00:14:07 <Felicitus> thats a little problem for me :)
00:14:19 <Felicitus> seems that i have to avoid exceptions
00:15:48 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r15518 /trunk/src/ (npf.cpp pathfind.h ship_cmd.cpp yapf/yapf_destrail.hpp): -Fix [FS#2631]: use distance to closest station tile as estimate for YAPF too (NPF already does so). This makes it behave 'better' with wide stations.
00:25:27 *** lobster has joined #openttd
00:26:42 <Felicitus> hmm...would it be possible to add a method to AIError to temporarly suspend printing exception messages to the console? Something like AIError.debugExceptions(true|false) ?
00:33:05 <Yexo> Felicitus: that is possible, but imo unwanted behaviour
00:33:20 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
00:33:29 <Eddi|zuHause> the ignore function on the forum goes not far enough... by... err... far...
00:34:52 <Eddi|zuHause> i do not want threads of ignored persons to appear on the forum listing
00:35:08 <Eddi|zuHause> and i want to ignore any threads which have "mac os" in their title
00:35:17 <Eddi|zuHause> and i want to ignore certain subforums...
00:36:16 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, anything that is tempting to click on it, when it says "new posts here"
00:36:21 <Felicitus> Yexo: the problem is, my station builder uses alot of this.assert2(this.BuildRailTrack(-1,0, 2)); - and assert2 simply throws an exception if the tile cannot be built, so i can catch that exception later and see if something went wrong. the other way would be to add an if-check to each of the build steps, but that is alot of overhead for the programmer
00:37:07 <Eddi|zuHause> Felicitus: asserts are not for exception handling
00:37:23 <Eddi|zuHause> asserts are for programming mistakes
00:37:28 <Yexo> Felicitus: "if (!functioncall()) return false;" or "this.assert2(functioncall());" <- not much difference
00:37:30 <Eddi|zuHause> not for checking
00:37:30 *** Felicitu1 has joined #openttd
00:37:39 <Felicitu1> Eddi|zuHause: i know. but its easiest to throw an exception in the assert2 method
00:38:06 <Yexo> and about not printing the call stack: as some point someone will forget to enable it again and his AI will crashing without him knowing
00:39:14 <Felicitu1> but to print out each and every exception is also a littlebit pointless...it overflows the debug console even if the exceptions are caught
00:40:01 <Felicitu1> and to make things worse, the ai debug console seems to limit at some point - that's why i didnt see my debug print statements and because of that i got confused, failing to see that the real problem is at another position
00:40:48 <Yexo> you can redirect the output to the ingame console, that one has a much higher limit (it won't split messages from other AIs though)
00:41:16 <Yexo> and if you really think exceptions generate too much output, simply don't use them :p
00:41:22 <Felicitu1> yes, but it seems that the ingame console doesn't receive print() and AILog.*-messages
00:41:45 <Felicitu1> well, i really have no clue how to solve it cleanly. exceptions provide a pretty nice control flow at that point
00:41:45 <Yexo> use "debug_level ai=5" first
00:42:48 <Yexo> and mind that using print() is discouraged
00:43:03 <Felicitu1> yes, i use it only for quick debug hacks
00:43:17 <Yexo> it works now, but it's not in the api docs, and if the regression test didn't use it I'd already have removed it
00:43:41 <Felicitu1> ah okay, now i got the stuff in the ingame console. that helps
00:44:05 <Felicitu1> but i have to avoid exceptions now...makes no sense to spam any log full with caught exceptions :(
00:44:26 <Felicitu1> that means...at least 20 statements per station type wrapped around with if's :(
00:45:13 *** Felicitu1 is now known as Felicitus
00:45:23 *** lobstar has joined #openttd
00:47:25 <Felicitus> thats really horrible
00:49:10 <Felicitus> the station builder supports a test mode, which makes assert2 to throw an exception, avoiding to execute the other build statements because they are not needed anymore, and the test returns false
00:49:12 <Yexo> Felicitus: I still fail to see the problem with "if (!function) return false;" there
00:49:48 <Eddi|zuHause> eh? "who needs len(array) when you can catch boundary exception"?
00:50:16 <Felicitus> Yexo: of course, it's valid, but the station you see there is just a simple station...imagine a larger station, wrapping each and every build command with an if is well...impractical
00:50:42 <Yexo> so instead of wrapping every buid command with an if you have no problem wrapping it with "this.assert2"?
00:51:03 <Eddi|zuHause> the funny thing about that is, it will also catch out-of-bounds exceptison in "ToString()", and you'll never know
00:51:55 <Felicitus> Rubidium: does it stop executing the calls if one of them returns false?
00:52:37 <Felicitus> and it would be easy to implement in the station parser
00:54:52 <Felicitus> oh that now that i talk of it: it isn't possible to write to external files with the AI, right? because i dump the commands required for the station to the console, but everything is prefixed with dbg: [ai] [1] [P]
00:55:24 <Eddi|zuHause> you can redirect the ingame console to a file
00:55:39 <Yexo> you can use a simple sed script to rememove that prefix
00:55:49 <Rubidium> | sed 's/dbg: .ai. .1. .P.//'
00:56:00 <Felicitus> i'm not into regular expressions at all
00:56:33 <Eddi|zuHause> that's alright, you could as well use AWK ;)
00:57:20 <Eddi|zuHause> well, technically, perl is one huge regexp :p
00:59:14 <Rubidium> or any text editor with block selection
01:00:34 <Felicitus> i think block selection is on the wishlist for eclipse for a very long time
01:02:17 <Felicitus> block selection is on the wishlist for eclipse since 2002 :)

01:52:13 <welshdragon> anybody here that can help me with PBS?
01:52:31 <welshdragon> i think i may have done it wrong xD
01:52:59 <Elukka> what are you having problems with?
01:53:20 <Sacro> welshdragon: course you've done it wrong
01:53:52 <welshdragon> way to gett me back for earlier Sacro
01:57:08 <Elukka> umm, it's way too small to see the signals
01:57:24 <Elukka> but i'll show what i did
01:57:36 <Sacro> facebook has compressed the image
01:57:46 <Elukka> see beathwaite springs
01:57:58 <Elukka> normal PBS signals towards the station platform in both ends
01:58:30 <Elukka> the one-ways on the outgoing and incoming tracks are only to make sure they dont go on the wrong rails
01:58:37 <Felicitus> that reminds me of getting started with pbs :)
01:58:49 <Elukka> pbs is easier than normal signals
01:58:54 <Elukka> in my experience anyway
01:59:10 <Felicitus> i only placed 2 pbs in my whole life :)
02:00:10 <Felicitus> but i dont think there's a way around pbs for my ai :)
02:03:52 <welshdragon> Elukka, thanks, uit worked
02:04:02 <welshdragon> noew to resatrt services :)

05:43:20 <Felicitus> good morning Forked
06:00:43 *** Phoenix_the_II has quit IRC
06:04:34 *** sigmund_ has joined #openttd
06:15:25 <SJrX> Hmmmmm I have copied the data/ and gm/ folders from my windows copy to my ~/.openttd/ file but openttd says they can't be found?
06:17:54 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
06:21:47 *** [com]buster is now known as Combuster
06:29:51 <Rubidium> maybe the files/directories use strange capitalisation
06:30:44 <Rubidium> or you don't have read access to the files (can sometimes happen when copying stuff from a non-unixy file system)
06:31:55 <SJrX> Your 'OPENTTDW.GRF' file is corrupted or missing! This file was part of your installation.
06:32:41 <Rubidium> that file shouldn't be in your home directory's data dir
06:33:30 <Rubidium> you probably copied that from Windows and the version you were using there differs
06:34:05 <SJrX> b6689105405fa3ea34cb8a5543633d29 OPENTTDW.GRF
06:35:33 <Rubidium> that's 0.7.0-beta1/recent trunk
06:39:47 <SJrX> If I want music I just put the gm file either in the gm subdirectory or in ~/.openttd?
06:40:40 <Rubidium> the folder called gm should be in .openttd
06:40:55 <Rubidium> and make sure you've got timidity installed if you want it played
06:41:21 <Rubidium> and be *very* aware that timidity uses a *LOT* of CPU
06:45:53 <Rubidium> just do timidity gm_tt00.gm and see it 'waste' CPU
06:47:45 <Felicitus> Rubidium: too late, i already filed a feature request:)
06:49:18 <Felicitus> but until such a function is available, the ai is pretty lost in evaluating the trains :(
06:49:23 <Yexo> Felicitus: "This function is not exhaustive; a true here does not mean that the vehicle can pull the wagons, a false does mean it can't.". So what needs to be done from the AI programmer's side? <- You should call that result, if it returns false, it can't be attached
06:49:33 <Yexo> if it returns true, you should try and see whether it works
06:50:12 <Felicitus> in simple words: trust "false", don't trust "true"
06:50:19 <Yexo> that's not perfect, but implementing a perfect function is impossible, since the newgrf can base it's decisions on a lot of things
06:50:54 <Felicitus> i learned two weeks ago that newgrfs can do alot of things
06:51:17 <Yexo> about the power of a train engine, do you only need that in AIEngine or also in AIVehicle? (only for new engines or also the total value for an existing train?)
06:51:33 <Felicitus> i was playing on a modded server, of course i picked the train which had a good reliability, good power and was cheap - until i found out that i cannot attach coal waggons to it :)
06:52:01 <Felicitus> well, for now i just need the power of the engine for new vehicle
06:52:13 <Felicitus> so that the ai can estimate how performant it is
06:52:29 <Felicitus> but i think i need to dig into the openttd core, especially on where the acceleration is calculated
06:52:29 <SJrX> wow lol it's using 25% of my CPU
06:52:49 <Rubidium> refitting may change power too, but there's no way to find out how much until you do it
06:53:25 <Felicitus> yes, but usually the value which the "new engine" window shows is the one to use in the calculation
06:53:32 <Rubidium> SJrX: when you know, please tell us
06:54:50 <SJrX> Damn I remember having this problem, that I wanted to fix with PBS, but now I can't find the save game, and since I named all my companies the same in all it's just a nightmare
06:54:59 <SJrX> it's weird I remember some of these games from over the years
06:55:31 <Felicitus> SJrX: i noticed that also. i still remember some of my games on kurt's
06:57:13 <SJrX> Hmmmm I think it's time to start a new game
06:59:31 <Felicitus> Yexo: now that i think of it, it might be also a good idea to retrieve the weight also. i guess it's taken into the calculation how quick a train accelerates, right?
07:00:22 <Rubidium> yes, but depending on the model it's done differently
07:00:40 <Rubidium> but then, so is maximum tractive effort
07:01:16 <Felicitus> well i dont need exact numbers, just a rough estimate
07:02:56 <Felicitus> so the power should be enough to start off with
07:02:57 <Rubidium> max tractive effort can be very important for acceleration
07:03:33 <Felicitus> hmm, i never had a detail look at that
07:03:51 <Yexo> Felicitus: I don't like half work, so I'll take a look and add several functions, ie GetPower, GetMaxTractiveEffort, GetWeight, etc. (dunno if there is more)
07:04:59 <Felicitus> Rubidium: if the AI would take *everything* into account, it would never be beatable, so i want to beheave it not so precisely
07:05:23 <Rubidium> if the AI takes everything into account it'd be way too slow
07:06:32 <Felicitus> but it already beat me in picking the starting spots around 9/10 times :)
07:07:09 <Felicitus> and the one time i won was because a new power station at the opposite map corner was built
07:08:33 <Rubidium> just play like 'rondje (om de kerk)' and you'll beat the AI (assuming you can handle that strategy)
07:08:54 <Felicitus> what's that exactly?
07:09:15 <Rubidium> an AI that's like a parasite
07:10:03 <Felicitus> uhm where can i find information about that? google only spits out dutch sites
07:13:36 <Felicitus> well, i consider selling vehicles at the end as abuse, and neither i nor my engine will do that :)
07:14:06 <Felicitus> how about adding an initial worth loss of the vehicle? :)
07:15:59 <Rubidium> has been propose a few times already
07:16:04 <Felicitus> wow, gentoo has a current ebuild for openttd! yay!
07:16:10 <Rubidium> need to implement it in a proper way
07:16:34 <Rubidium> what do you mean with proper?
07:17:13 <Felicitus> that would be great. its already forbidden to sell trains at the end of the line (also called one-way trains) on many servers, but it can't be checked properly by the server :( so many people abuse the rule
07:17:55 <Rubidium> s/proper/current/ :)
07:19:02 <Rubidium> yeah, took only 4 months to get through their political games
07:20:05 <Felicitus> usually i play on windows, but now i'm on gentoo for the ai development and i havent played a single game for like one week now
07:20:11 <Felicitus> my ranking on kurt's is...well...bad :)
07:20:44 <Rubidium> still dislike gentoo's mutilations
07:21:29 <Felicitus> hmm i'm used to it. as i need unusual configurations on a daily basis, i'm sticking with it since several years now
07:21:42 <Felicitus> if i need some kind of standard configuration, i pick windows ;)
07:22:03 <Rubidium> or rather, it took 6 months to get updated, but that's another story
07:22:38 <Felicitus> well i use trunk for ai development, so i dont really need the overlay
07:23:17 <Felicitus> hmm how does that sound? reliability 70%, speed 10%, cost 20% when valuating trains?
07:24:18 <Rubidium> depends on the settings
07:24:31 <Rubidium> breakdowns turned off: reliability 0%
07:24:39 <Felicitus> that's a good point
07:27:34 <Felicitus> thanks for the pointer :)
07:28:19 <Eddi|zuHause> imho, the reliability should not decrease when breakdowns are off
07:28:31 <Eddi|zuHause> solves other things like suggestions for station rating
07:29:57 <Eddi|zuHause> and letting a vehicle leave the depot should reduce value by 20%
07:40:23 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: yexo * r15519 /trunk/ (14 files in 4 dirs): -Add [NoAI]: support for waypoints by adding AIRail::Build/Remove RailWaypoint, AIWaypoint and AIWaypointList.

08:07:39 <Felicitus> urx - squirrel has got pow() defined in its standard libraries :(
08:08:10 <Yexo> Felicitus: that doens't mean it's available for an AI
08:08:24 *** sanderbackus has joined #openttd
08:08:24 <Yexo> nearly all of the standard squirrel libraries are disabled
08:08:38 <Felicitus> yes, thats why i wrote "urx" :)
08:17:13 <Rubidium> afternoon planetmaker ;)

08:32:38 <Felicitus> quote: Statics are read-only.
08:33:04 <Felicitus> do i have to use globals? :(
08:33:36 <dihedral> Felicitus, are you a php guy by any chance?
08:34:16 <Felicitus> oh you mean because i used the term static? :)
08:34:17 <dihedral> planetmaker, i only had intended to write the first to lines, but then the thoughts just started flowing :-P
08:34:31 <dihedral> Felicitus, no, not just :-P
08:34:45 <dihedral> and the term static is used in many languages
08:34:50 <Felicitus> why else, dihedral ?
08:35:29 <dihedral> but you asked if you had to use globals, because of $beers["yexo"]++, and other stuff
08:35:32 <dihedral> just kinda sticks out
08:35:51 <dihedral> and you should avoid globals in php also ;-)
08:35:56 <dihedral> just a wee hint on the side :-P
08:36:15 <Felicitus> well, i have grown up with basic and then c/c++, but i did alot of php development recently - primarly for business purposes
08:36:28 <Felicitus> dihedral: well, i want to AVOID globals, that's why i was wondering that statics are read only
08:36:49 <dihedral> it's just a trade of a language ;-)
08:37:02 <Felicitus> and when i have a look at other php projects, i believe i am the only guy who writes OO code
08:37:20 <dihedral> then i you are looking at the wrong stuff
08:37:36 <dihedral> and for sure you have not met DASPRiD
08:37:53 <Felicitus> well, look at phpmyadmin, contenido, typo3, phpbb etc etc
08:37:54 <dihedral> besides, if it's OO for php4, it sucks :-P
08:38:10 <Felicitus> its not even procedural code, it's...well...mixed up
08:38:24 <dihedral> typolight in fact will blow your mind
08:38:41 <Felicitus> last time i looked at typo3 (i have to admit it was several years ago) i found functions everywhere
08:38:48 <Felicitus> but almost no classes :)
08:39:20 <DASPRiD> Just writing OOP ist nothing special, having a good MVC structure is important.
08:39:47 <Felicitus> and a good object model
08:40:18 <Felicitus> by the way, dihedral, i'm still waiting for a CMS which uses the ExtJS library
08:40:36 <DASPRiD> all those named projects are simply old, in that time, neither OOP nor MVC was important in any kind
08:41:28 <DASPRiD> 403 Forbidden - One of the most interesting projects ;P
08:41:56 <dihedral> yes, there seem to be quite a few of them, or of their parent project 404
08:42:13 <Felicitus> copy'n'paste for beginners - dont try that at home, kids
08:42:22 <Felicitus> (a shame i dont know my own URLs :)
08:42:45 <dihedral> device manager for switches? in php?
08:43:41 <Felicitus> dihedral: what you see is where you can design the switch. and actually that piece runs 100% in the browser. saving/loading devices is done via ajax
08:44:55 <Felicitus> what would you use? ;)
08:45:25 <dihedral> i wrote a hardware configurator for appliances once
08:45:30 <dihedral> for the last company i worked for
08:45:33 <Felicitus> well, yes, actually it is ajaj then
08:45:48 <dihedral> it runs 100% with oo js
08:46:03 <dihedral> only downside, the company never populated it with the data
08:46:34 <Felicitus> dihedral: that's what I'm heading for also. i started the project a few years ago, and did stuff here and there, but now it's time to put the whole thing on a completely new platform
08:47:02 <Felicitus> for example, the canvas support for the device editor is oo, but the rest of the platform isn't
08:47:16 <dihedral> my highscore has been saved, Darkvater
08:47:27 <DASPRiD> dihedral, first level? ;)
08:49:06 <db48x> otoh, ajaj is a really terrible name
08:49:18 <db48x> it's a name for a thing that doesn't need a name
08:49:20 <DASPRiD> db48x, that's why everyone just calls it json
08:51:22 <DASPRiD> heh i made dihedral addicted i guess
08:54:34 <Felicitus> hmm, so let's get back to the original topic: if i have a squirrel class with a static function, and i need to cache data between the calls of that function, how would i do that? i dont want to use globals
08:54:40 <Felicitus> DASPRiD: yes its nice :)
08:56:05 <DASPRiD> yet nobody solved the last level ;)
08:56:35 *** Progman has joined #openttd
08:58:53 <Yexo> Felicitus: you'll have to use a global in some way or another
08:59:21 <DASPRiD> The registry design pattern helps you out at that point
08:59:28 <DASPRiD> at least until namespaces come into game
09:00:05 <Rubidium> a variable of a static class is in effect a global too
09:00:38 <Felicitus> Rubidium: yes, but i see it as some kind of "private" to that class, more or less protected from the rest
09:01:44 <Felicitus> and even php5 supports private static on attributes, which makes it exclusive to that class
09:01:48 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: yexo * r15520 /trunk/src/ai/api/ (15 files): -Cleanup [NoAI]: Fix some typos, unify the comment style and update some documentation since a few enums have been renamed.
09:06:42 <Felicitus> and i can't await php 5.3 - finally they introduce namespaces
09:08:15 <Felicitus> and i can start my new project. until then i need to wait until php 5.3 builds on my box or continue working on the felicitusAI :)
09:09:49 <DASPRiD> dihedral, are you trying to solve the sunshine level?
09:10:01 <DASPRiD> Felicitus, heh, probably learn something useful until then... like zend framework ;)
09:10:52 <Felicitus> DASPRiD: i know the zend framework
09:11:21 <Felicitus> but since i was using portions of contenido as base for my work, i could not use it
09:11:47 <DASPRiD> well, you can always use single components of zend framework, thanks to it's use-at-will structure
09:12:42 * DASPRiD listens to: Amon Amarth - Varyags of Miklagaard
09:12:48 <Felicitus> yes and no - many patterns of what zend provides are already implemented in contenido
09:13:26 <DASPRiD> yeah and so you can use the components of ZF which supply the missing patterns
09:16:18 <planetmaker> DASPRiD: what's the aim of this klotski-game?
09:16:28 <Felicitus> there's nothing that comes into my mind which could be replaced by zf easily, and the last projects i did were pretty much implemented without any modifications to the core
09:16:59 <Felicitus> and as i see, there's still no ORM provided by zend :(
09:17:04 <DASPRiD> Felicitus, don't know, how about for example Zend_Uri?
09:17:11 <DASPRiD> or ZendX_Console_Process_Unix ;)
09:17:15 <DASPRiD> planetmaker, guess :)
09:17:45 <planetmaker> some kind of final configuration...
09:18:14 <Felicitus> DASPRiD: actually no. the only thing where URIs are processed is actually on the client (js) side - the rest goes via web services, and the web service is integrated within contenido
09:18:31 <DASPRiD> planetmaker, move marked block to green area
09:18:55 <planetmaker> ah... the marked block... :)
09:20:10 <Felicitus> hmm...there's no platform where someone can start working with (like a PHP-based system) and then evolve to a better performance platform later (like java or c/c++) when the business grows?
09:20:51 <Felicitus> and the actual application logic is implemented in some kind of meta-language?
09:21:21 <Felicitus> no that's not what i mean
09:22:20 <DASPRiD> the interpreter beeing written in language a) and b)?
09:22:37 <Felicitus> plus the environment, like persistence and application layer
09:22:39 <DASPRiD> tho, why should you start with the slowest interpreter
09:22:59 <DASPRiD> there's not persistence in web ;)
09:23:03 <Felicitus> because the business is small and you can't afford an own server
09:24:01 <Felicitus> i have had the problem myself - i'm currently implementing the network monitoring system in PHP, because I a) want to run it on my web server, b) i probably want to license it to customers and c) i maybe want to give it out as open source
09:24:06 <DASPRiD> well i don't know such a platfrom
09:24:34 <Felicitus> most people only have PHP on their server, but customers want to be sure that the software also runs well, and they don't really want a PHP cluster :)
09:25:03 <Felicitus> the pattern which would describe my approach is "implement once - serve many" :)
09:27:18 <Felicitus> or some kind of meta-language, which can generate code automatically - just like the UML->(language XY) generators, but not for the class design, but for the actual implementation
09:28:21 <DASPRiD> then you could simply write a php2cpp converter ;)
09:29:02 <Felicitus> and what if my customer already has a big java cluster running? :)
09:29:15 <DASPRiD> then you go on with your next projects: php2java
09:29:40 <Felicitus> or i embed squirrel everywhere :)
09:29:53 <DASPRiD> or you write everything in brainfuck
09:30:04 <DASPRiD> writing brainfuck interpreters is easy
09:31:12 <DASPRiD> you didnt solve the last level :x
09:32:58 <dihedral> i was close, but i need to work
09:33:05 <dihedral> well 'close' being on a very good way :-P
09:33:13 <DASPRiD> you will get more levels later
09:33:18 <dihedral> had all the little blocks down by the big fat boy
09:33:22 <DASPRiD> klotski.de is yet reserved ;)
09:33:26 <dihedral> i will not try later ;-)
09:33:49 <Felicitus> that's what i described :D
09:33:51 <dihedral> i need to work (aka looking at openttd source or tcl stuff :-P)
09:33:52 <DASPRiD> you could try to cheat into the highscore
09:34:02 <DASPRiD> but thats not possible, the server validates all your moves ;)
09:34:18 <dihedral> sure i can cheat into the highscore
09:34:41 <dihedral> just need a http proxy :-P
09:34:51 <dihedral> and then resend the data with invalid time stamps
09:35:00 <dihedral> (manipulated rather)
09:35:07 <DASPRiD> dihedral, doesnt work ;)
09:35:17 <dihedral> and why would that not work?
09:35:20 <DASPRiD> you have to send a valid movement-list to the server
09:35:42 <DASPRiD> because it tests all moves and checks if the goal is met
09:36:49 <dihedral> DASPRiD, that is what i just described to you - a simple http replay with manipulated timestamps
09:37:17 <DASPRiD> how does that get you into the highscore? :x
09:37:30 <dihedral> sending valid moves, in very short time
09:37:42 <DASPRiD> well for valid moves, you first have to solve the puzzle ;)
09:37:55 <dihedral> .... did you read what i said or did you just reply?
09:38:07 <DASPRiD> probably either i or you dont get it :)
09:38:20 <dihedral> you can capture sent packets and resend them!
09:38:37 <dihedral> so you solve the puzzle in as much time as you like, whilst caputuring the communication between you and the server
09:39:03 <dihedral> all you then need to do is manipulate the packets and resend them, while your session is still valid
09:39:24 <dihedral> so you have then solved the puzzle in less time, with valid moves.
09:39:39 <dihedral> and it would look very funny if i solve the puzzle with 3k moves and 2 seconds ;-)
09:39:39 <DASPRiD> i dont get the sense of the resend packets somehow
09:40:01 <DASPRiD> nope that doesnt work :)
09:40:19 <DASPRiD> the time counter runs on server side, connected with a game id, which you get at start of the game
09:40:39 <dihedral> so i start the game from the proxy, then replay my moves
09:40:52 <DASPRiD> that could actually work
09:41:23 <DASPRiD> but still you have the problem in solving the puzzle itself ;)
09:41:41 <dihedral> while he is connected to irc he reads less of the conversations than when he is not :-D
09:42:27 <Roest> sure you talking about me?
09:45:57 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r15521 /trunk/src/ (build_vehicle_gui.cpp engine.cpp engine_base.h): -Codechange: add helper function to get the display tractive effort of a vehicle.
10:05:57 <Felicitus> wow - seems that the SpiderMonkey js engine is supported in all major programming languages, it seems that a PHP pecl module is also prepared :)
10:13:43 <dihedral> now that will make your app widely used! relying on a pecl module!
10:15:30 <Felicitus> yes, that's what i thought also now
10:15:43 <Felicitus> if it was in the core - yes
10:17:41 <petern> hmm, Rubidium, where does that patch lead? i have an already working "realistic" acceleration patch...
10:18:29 <Rubidium> giving AIs the possibility to compare on maxte
10:19:07 <Rubidium> hmm, probably should've written engine instead of vehicle
10:21:09 <Rubidium> it's just to prevent duplication of some code from the build vehicle gui
10:34:40 <dihedral> planetmaker, how about we start a 'user flaming' thread :-D
10:38:44 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd

11:12:37 <dihedral> what is this silly JacobD88-thing anyway?
11:13:04 <Felicitus> ok that's nice - felicitusAI now picks the best available train available based on cost, reliability and max speed
11:13:19 <Felicitus> as soon as Yexo has implemented the power thing, it's nearly perfect :)
11:14:36 <dihedral> enjoying your progress it seems ;-)
11:15:10 * dihedral wait's for 'scotty beam me up' AI, which uses the advantage of station_spread + distant join stations to the full
11:15:51 <Felicitus> well, i actually already use portions of that to calculate the maximum station length and when it upgrades/extends one station type to another
11:19:22 <Rubidium> dihedral: yes; you just need to invert the online-translator and ask a Hungarian
11:19:54 <dihedral> does somebody have a hungarian i could ask?
11:20:13 <Rubidium> no, don't own one (yet)
11:20:38 <dihedral> when you have one, could you let me know what that guy is trying to express?
11:21:31 <dihedral> he's no hungarian is he? :-P
11:23:19 <dihedral> makes a wee bit more sense, but on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the least sense it makes it's still at -90
11:26:53 <Rubidium> I think he wants a "select all" button
11:27:43 <dihedral> " designate the designation beside " <- you get that out of this?
11:27:45 <Forked> wow. I have a grand total of 22 posts.. I rock
11:27:59 <dihedral> or "button what every either"
11:28:30 <dihedral> "window 1 such button" <- that kinda sais nothing either
11:28:56 <dihedral> a window with only one button? a window that looks just like one button? he has a button in a window?
11:29:03 * dihedral is totally confuddled
11:29:13 <Forked> dihedral: I responded to that thread with a suggestion.
11:29:38 <Rubidium> I really think he wants 1 button to select everything in the download content window
11:35:39 <dihedral> Rubidium, now please mangle a response that he will understand :-D
11:39:03 <Rubidium> no, non, nein, nee, never, n3v4h, nooit, ...
11:39:58 <dihedral> Rubidium, quite simple, reverse the steps you did to find out what he means

14:55:33 <Sacro> Rubidium: that's not a word
14:55:52 <Forked> and I think you're missing the word "bit" (more memory) :-)
14:55:54 <Sacro> "uncomplicate" is what you mean
14:56:13 <Rubidium> Sacro: what's a word and what isn't?
14:57:11 <dihedral> a word of one syllable is a primitive :-P
14:57:39 <Sacro> Rubidium: "uncomplexify"
14:58:00 <Rubidium> dihedral: Guy Steele?
14:58:51 <dihedral> after all, you posted the link
14:58:55 <Rubidium> so uncomplexify is both a word and not a word, interesting
14:59:21 <dihedral> just needs defining :-P
15:00:34 <Rubidium> uncomplexify: the process of making something less complex.
15:00:45 <dihedral> complex then also needs defining
15:00:46 <Rubidium> so, now it's in Sacro's vocabulary
15:01:19 <Rubidium> I've chosen the primitives to be 'simple english words'
15:01:27 <petern> jessica alba is in sacro's "vocabulary"

15:18:02 <dsoxygen> is there any possibility to manage a openttd ded sever by a other program with DDE?
15:18:30 <Rubidium> Sedontane: easiest is using a subversion checkout instead of downloading the sources from the website

15:19:28 *** George34 has joined #openttd
15:19:32 <Rubidium> Devil's Disaster Environment?
15:21:08 <Rubidium> to use DDE you need to write a DDE <-> OpenTTD console wrapper application
15:21:28 <Rubidium> Sedontane: what compiler?
15:21:44 <Sedontane> Vis Studio 2009 Professional
15:22:24 <planetmaker> dsoxygen: you might want to take a look at autopilot or ap+ and the openttdlib
15:22:34 <Rubidium> it should be able to detect tortoise, unless it's registry settings are screwed up
15:22:59 <Sedontane> only reason im compiling is there seems to be no way to get old nightlies now - and coop has a (recent) old nightly
15:23:19 <dsoxygen> ok thx for the hints
15:23:24 <Rubidium> binaries.openttd.org/nightlies/trunk doesn't have it anymore?
15:24:30 <Rubidium> petern: more than ~2-3 months old are only the sources
15:24:36 <Sedontane> couldnt find it - there is no obvious link to there on the site
15:24:57 <petern> because there weren't proper nightlies in those dark ages

18:58:16 <energetic> any past efforts for a scrpting system to make ur own levels?
18:58:30 <energetic> (or level sequences)
18:59:25 <Yexo> energetic: I don't know about any
18:59:38 <Belugas> i don't even know what you are talking about
19:00:07 <energetic> like the NOAI system, only for level scripting instead of creating AIs
19:00:31 <Belugas> what is level scrpting?
19:00:37 <Yexo> energetic: you're talking about creating scenarios goals right?
19:01:02 <energetic> level scripting -> create a system where you can make interactive scenarios
19:01:19 <energetic> eg goal is to make 10 trains, earn 2M/y
19:02:53 <energetic> Belugas: U understand it now?
19:03:56 <Belugas> yes, i do understand now. no, nobody cared on working on this
19:03:57 <energetic> its just chatlanguage? often used words making them very short?
19:04:15 <Belugas> no, it's american slang and it's not welcome in here
19:04:25 <energetic> "wtf r u talkin bout" is nicely short :P
19:04:35 <planetmaker> energetic: you may understand it. None native speakers may not.
19:05:11 <Belugas> do you find a kick nice?
19:05:27 <Mortomes> It's also a nice sore to the eye.
19:05:44 <Alberth> and very difficult to read
19:06:00 <energetic> do you find a kick nice? -> that was for me?
19:06:15 <energetic> well, I have no problem conforming to some standard whatsoever
19:06:29 <energetic> but I was under the impression that this _was_ the standard :P
19:07:54 <Alberth> energetic: the only other scripting effort I am aware of, is an attempt to implement NewGRF callbacks in a script. It didn't get very far (luckily imho)
19:08:37 <energetic> are there any plans or opinions about such an effort?
19:08:39 *** Dred_furst has joined #openttd
19:09:22 *** Jolteon has joined #openttd
19:09:34 <Jolteon> I can't build planes D:
19:09:44 <Jolteon> Just says "can't build aircraft"
19:09:49 <planetmaker> set the maximum allowed number of planes to > 0
19:10:04 <planetmaker> and make sure that the game year is such that planes are available
19:10:16 <planetmaker> 1850 obviously there won't be planes
19:10:17 <Alberth> energetic: not sure what the gain would be, everybody gets very rich in a few years, so what kind of goals are left then?
19:11:09 <energetic> thats exactly the reason why you want such a system, I think. e.g. create levels where you can set custom goals with custom metrics
19:11:24 <energetic> ie. make an island with coal mines impossible to start with
19:11:34 <energetic> and have a goal transporting x coal/month
19:12:30 <energetic> or like a newbie system where you can start with a 64x64 level explaining basics
19:12:57 <energetic> when he connected the two coal mines, the level becomes an 128x128 sized one with the network still on it.
19:13:33 <energetic> when he successfully meets goal2, level is again elnarged, goal harder (or based on current network)
19:14:04 <energetic> adaptive decisionmaking for ie disasters (player is going well -> more disasters, bad player-> less disasters
19:14:12 <planetmaker> btw, Jolteon , plane availability depends upon the plane newGRF(s) loaded - if any.
19:14:17 <Alberth> energetic: a script for demo-ing some things (eg laying down rails) would be nice. newbies get heavily confused with the basics.
19:14:43 <Mortomes> Wasn't there a basic demo for that in the original ttd?
19:15:02 <energetic> yeah. this way they can learn it all while having fun and a concise nice goal to motivate them
19:15:23 <energetic> yapf, yapp, junctions, etcetc
19:15:37 <Alberth> not sure whether you should dynamically set new goals, but I guess it is possible.
19:15:49 <energetic> well a lot is possible
19:15:59 <Ammler> iirc, Truebrain has a patch for
19:16:03 <energetic> but i would love to see some very challneging maps
19:16:20 <Ammler> quite old rev, but :-)
19:16:20 <energetic> maps who are hard for very experienced players
19:16:55 <energetic> eg have company value of 10M within ten year on a given map
19:18:28 <energetic> but also a lot of ingame gimmicks, such as different town authorities some very reluctant to change, some dont care
19:21:45 <Alberth> personally, I don't care much for goals, so no idea whether such goals are useful
19:22:36 <welshdragon> is there a server that can host a map for me and Eoin?

19:53:27 <DorpsGek> petern: peter1138 was last seen in #openttd 20 weeks, 0 days, 9 hours, 5 minutes, and 19 seconds ago: <peter1138> Hmm, seems OpenTTD's config rewrites the files that stall...
19:55:35 <DorpsGek> Sacro: I have not seen Karen.
19:55:45 <DorpsGek> Sacro: I have not seen patchbot.
19:55:49 <DorpsGek> Bjarni: I have not seen boobs.
19:55:54 <DorpsGek> Sacro: Bjarni was last seen in #openttd 4 seconds ago: <Bjarni> @seen boobs
19:56:03 <Bjarni> looks like that bot is blind
19:56:12 <Bjarni> it's on the internet after all and still....
19:57:05 <frosch123> Bjarni: wrong question
19:57:11 <DorpsGek> frosch123: someone was last seen in #openttd 1 year, 3 weeks, 5 days, 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 47 seconds ago: * Someone here is gay
20:02:32 <petern> # don't give up, cos you have friends
20:03:02 <welshdragon> can we ave speed limits?
20:03:41 <planetmaker> speak slower, please, welshdragon - you're beyond the speed limit of talking ;)
20:04:03 <welshdragon> planetmaker: haha
20:11:14 <bayo_O> iv got problem to use OpenTTD with OpenGFX is anybody can help me?
20:11:56 <Alberth> bayo_O: don't ask to ask, just ask
20:13:06 <Alberth> welshdragon: there is a speed limit setting for railroad cars in 'advanced settings'
20:13:30 <glx> bayo_O: is your problem the black boxes?
20:14:23 <bayo_O> i install 0.7.0-beta1, copy the OpenGFX_Alpha4.2.tar into /data
20:14:26 <welshdragon> Alberth: i wast thinking of setting by signals
20:14:47 <glx> why not use content downloader instead?
20:14:58 <bayo_O> it said "cannot open the file sample.cat"
20:15:13 <glx> you still need this file from TTD CD
20:15:26 <Yexo> doesn't an empty sample.cat file work too?
20:15:27 <Alberth> welshdragon: we need to have traffic light signals
20:15:30 <glx> opengfx is only about graphics, not sound
20:15:59 <glx> Yexo: yes empty sample.cat works, but then we'll get complains about no sound ;)
20:16:21 <welshdragon> Alberth: yes, those would be good too
20:17:13 <bayo_O> well it work with a dummy file... thanks a lot for your help
20:18:58 <Alberth> welshdragon: we don't have speeding signals
20:20:37 <welshdragon> Alberth: i thought it might be easier than having a separate speed limit sign
20:20:46 <welshdragon> although they could be quite easy to draw
20:20:55 <petern> # i'm on my way, i'm making it (big time)
20:21:31 <el_en> what are the black boxes anyway? they make opengfx look like a japanese porn movie.
20:21:47 <petern> they are censorship boxes
20:22:02 <Alberth> welshdragon: we should have ones with a camera that flash when a train goes too fast, so we can bill the player
20:22:38 <welshdragon> Alberth: that's too far
20:22:47 <Alberth> el_en: also known as black holes that the graphic artists didn't fill in yet
20:23:49 <Alberth> welshdragon: we could use Roujin's city traffic light

20:29:06 <glx> better have black boxes than big red questionmarks :)

20:34:23 <petern> he has a cool first name :D
20:41:27 <Belugas> i know quite a few Peter in the music industry....
20:42:03 <frosch123> does Moby count as a belugas?
20:42:39 <Rubidium> year, with a bit of royal plural it does ;)
20:42:42 <Belugas> not at all you young man!
20:43:15 <Belugas> in french, it's a cachalot
20:43:59 <Belugas> ah... yes... a sperm whale
20:44:03 <el_en> Airbus Beluga is a cool plane.
20:58:03 *** DaleStan has joined #openttd
21:00:59 <planetmaker> Quite impressive, if you've been standing in one.
21:01:36 <el_en> I've seen one irl, twice.
21:01:59 <el_en> Over here, in Turku, Finland.
21:02:27 <svip> Why does everyone live in Turku?!
21:03:58 <el_en> Not everyone on this channel.

21:16:16 <KingJ> My network card (bge0) is listed in Assign Interfaces, but if I do a ifconfig it only shows fwip0 and lo0
21:16:58 <KingJ> Of course i'm talking in completely the wrong channel, sorry
21:26:21 <Belugas> i've seen quite a few belugas, this summer. As well as some megapteres. But never sperm whales. they do not come deep enough
21:31:39 <Wolf01> I think that "dog I icecream have want Obama, button example, what" could be more understandable
21:32:20 <Rubidium> translate it back into hungarian and then to your language; might give a better translation
21:32:53 <Sacro> limitation disturbs me very sprites :(
21:33:58 <Wolf01> I once tried to translate a text 5 or 6 times from italian to english and back to italian... the meaning of the resulting sentence had nothing to do with the starting sentence
21:35:29 *** NightKhaos has joined #openttd
21:39:45 <Wolf01> google translator speaks like Yoda
21:41:32 <Rubidium> Wolf01: do it correctly if you do it; like Yoda Google translator speaks
21:42:48 <Wolf01> AH! got it! Rubidium you are a genius
21:44:09 <Wolf01> "The content should be "similar to a window, press 1" to designate designate "button, or by all (for example: He is the description for each)."
21:44:35 <Wolf01> english->hungarian->italian->english eheh :D
21:45:14 <Wolf01> it still doesn't mean anything, but at least it's readable :P
21:56:55 <Eddi|zuHause> if you want that they build it for you, press 1
22:05:08 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
22:12:44 <NightKhaos> I wish there was a copy and paste function... or have I missed it?
22:14:27 *** DaleStan has joined #openttd
22:14:29 <Rubidium> the former isn't a question
22:15:02 <NightKhaos> ... okay, is there a missing copy or paste function?
22:15:29 <Eddi|zuHause> if there was, it wouldn't be missing
22:18:18 <smallfly> dihedral, SirkoZ seemed to have some good arguments. why do you prefer excluding the copy&paste function?
22:18:19 <NightKhaos> ahh it's in miniN...
22:19:16 <Yexo> NightKhaos: MiniIN is ancient
22:20:42 <NightKhaos> "apparently" it's in MiniN.
22:21:39 <Rubidium> it's kinda in the forum too
22:22:07 <Wolf01> ok, you understood... I greet the italian channels in english and the english channels in italian... I'm really tired

23:10:35 <el_en> did they (the germans) dub the korean and/or french in Lost?
23:10:44 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: yexo * r15525 /trunk/src/saveload/ai_sl.cpp: -Fix: Don't try to find the AIs the server runs when joining a mp server.
23:13:09 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: yexo * r15526 /trunk/src/ai/api/ (ai_order.cpp ai_order.hpp ai_order.hpp.sq): -Add [NoAI]: Support for conditional orders.
23:16:14 <el_en> haben die deutschen die koreanisch oder französisch im Lost gedubben?
23:22:45 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: yexo * r15527 /trunk/src/ai/api/ai_order.cpp: -Fix (r15526): A ')' too much.
23:23:08 <Eddi|zuHause> they subtitled it
23:24:01 <Eddi|zuHause> also, "dubben" is a weak verb, so it is "gedubbt" ;)
23:25:06 <Eddi|zuHause> (there are more oddities in that sentence)
23:25:10 *** hipahyl has joined #openttd
23:25:42 <el_en> ah, they're not completely out of their minds then, despite Heroes.
23:26:30 <glx> here they subtitled japanese in Heroes
23:26:53 <glx> same goes for korean in Lost
23:27:05 <Eddi|zuHause> let's not think about heroes...
23:27:17 <Eddi|zuHause> we bury that far far away in our minds
23:27:22 <el_en> glx: what about the french in lost? (season 5 episode 4, 5)
23:27:38 <glx> hmm I will see this summer :)
23:28:08 <Eddi|zuHause> there were french parts before...
23:28:31 <Eddi|zuHause> like the broadcast message
23:29:11 <Eddi|zuHause> and when Rousseau first appeared
23:29:15 <glx> oh the message was in german IIRC :)
23:29:55 <el_en> what's "the french chick" in french? :)
23:30:43 <Eddi|zuHause> glx: if the message was german, and the message was from Rousseau, what was Rousseau speaking then?
23:31:21 <el_en> "the french chick" is how hugo called rousseau.
23:33:23 *** goodger has joined #openttd
23:33:33 <Eddi|zuHause> well, i presume that's close enough ;)
23:36:55 *** Nite_Owl has joined #openttd
23:37:19 <Eddi|zuHause> anyone else getting timeouts on the forum?
23:37:57 <Nite_Owl> I just left it - no problems here
23:38:10 <dihedral> can someone create a forum for Alain ;-)
23:38:57 <dihedral> or do you think a thread is enough :-P
23:39:03 *** NightKhaos has joined #openttd
23:41:52 <Rubidium> dihedral: IGNORE HIM AND DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT HIM HERE EVERY SINGLE FRACKING DAY
23:41:54 *** DaleStan has joined #openttd
23:42:18 <Rubidium> because constantly complaining about him is equally annoying
23:42:24 <Eddi|zuHause> well... someone decided to encourage him... that's what's the outcome of this is
23:42:49 <Nite_Owl> Let him play out his patch pack fantasy and like all of the others it will die a slow, agonizing death due to upkeep problems
23:43:21 <Eddi|zuHause> the miniin did not die slowly
23:43:36 <Eddi|zuHause> it was a definite and controlled end
23:44:58 <Nite_Owl> that is true - I revise the above to read "like a majority of the others"
23:45:04 <dihedral> you did have a few more poeple working on it
23:45:16 <dihedral> and they did have a bit more understanding of what they were doing
23:45:34 <Rubidium> MiniIN was dead quite long before the real end
23:45:44 <planetmaker> [00:42] <Eddi|zuHause> well... someone decided to encourage him... that's what's the outcome of this is <--- he, sorry
23:45:49 <Rubidium> it was just 'backporting' 0.6 bugfixes
23:46:45 <dihedral> i've followed SmatZ' advice ;-)
23:46:51 <glx> and the "author" of miniin often ask us to do his job ;)
23:47:26 <glx> he was usually unable to do a sync correctly
23:47:31 <Eddi|zuHause> well, i remember back when i ported the bridge patch, it was not accepted because "the end" was already decided
23:48:09 <glx> even worse when we introduced the new window system
23:48:42 <Rubidium> new window system during miniin?
23:49:13 <glx> there was big feature during miniin but maybe it was not this one
23:49:30 <Eddi|zuHause> i though "new window system" was a C++ thing
23:49:30 <Rubidium> oh, maybe the widget accessor functions
23:49:55 <Eddi|zuHause> the whole "made a class of the XYZ window" stuff
23:49:55 <glx> and c++ move definitely killed it
23:50:18 <glx> ha right it was widget accessors
23:51:08 <glx> btw miniin was just unmaintainable
23:51:38 <Eddi|zuHause> well, the "mini" part was a misnomer, really ;)
23:51:38 <glx> worse patch in it was infrastructure sharing
23:51:52 <glx> conflicts everywhere when syncing
23:52:42 <planetmaker> that feature is indeed a bitch when it comes to syncing
23:53:09 <Eddi|zuHause> you shoul commit it to trunk already ;)
23:53:21 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: in the current form?!
23:53:38 <dihedral> that'd be pretty bold.... and ... well... stupid :-P
23:54:10 <el_en> infrastructure sharing should be in trunk to avoid unnecessary patching and conflicts.
23:54:30 <dihedral> Eddi|zuHause, perhaps it's less work to commit truck to the IS patch :-D
23:54:35 <Eddi|zuHause> buut!!! it is so community wanted patch!!!
23:54:37 <planetmaker> el_en: did you read the patch's source code?!
23:54:55 <Eddi|zuHause> and it is "well tested" :p
23:55:05 <el_en> planetmaker: nope, and i don't mean that particular patch would be the one, but i mean infrastructure sharing as a concept.
23:55:10 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: it IS well tested.
23:55:14 <dihedral> did SirkoZ write it?
23:55:22 <planetmaker> But... test results are not always what you hope for :P
23:58:10 *** goodger has joined #openttd
23:58:31 <planetmaker> el_en: it's an intriguing feature, for sure :)
23:58:45 <planetmaker> as is cargodest :P
