10:47:59 <Zuu> Good morning TrueBrain, hope you had a better start than I had. (had no breakfast at home, so had to wait untill the food store opened at 10 AM)
10:49:24 <Rubidium> Zuu: what a luxury ;)
10:50:27 <Zuu> Rubidium: hehe, yea food that is overrated :)
10:51:30 <Rubidium> well, more talking about the food store that opens on easter monday
10:57:38 <TrueBrain> Zuu: just enjoyed some lovely eggs :)
11:04:36 <Zuu> Okay, have actually not eaten any eggs this estern. Other than an omelet at thursday last week. :)
11:07:18 <TrueBrain> orudge: you should stop those spam-bots at the forums :p
11:15:51 <jonty-comp> I wish there was a half-decent reCAPTCHA module for phpbb
11:16:11 <jonty-comp> but the only ones I can find are fairly random and dubious looking
11:17:40 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
11:26:49 * petern returns with £105 of tap
11:27:15 <TrueBrain> what did you drink?! :p
11:27:59 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd

11:51:04 *** combuster has joined #openttd
11:53:55 <petern> shit, i better exchange it
12:00:41 <petern> it's somewhat annoying that you can't reference two CNAMEs for one hostname :/
12:01:15 <TrueBrain> the idea of CNAME was round-robin .. ;)
12:01:29 <TrueBrain> (although I doubt anyone uses that method ... mostly because Windows fucked up that implementation :p)
12:02:11 <petern> windows tends to pick one and use it, but otherwise it's okay
12:02:16 <TrueBrain> Windows never falls back to the other entry ...
12:02:22 <TrueBrain> which makes the idea of round-robing kind of .. useless ;)
12:02:24 <petern> for mx servers, windows doesn't make much difference
12:02:47 <TrueBrain> but of course Windows had to fuck up .. else it wouldn't be Windows I guess :)
12:03:06 <petern> but i can't do: mx1=1.1.1.1, mx2=2.2.2.2, mx=cname mx1, mx=cname mx2
12:03:29 <petern> (not that i'd want to with MX, because RR is built into the MX system
12:03:54 <TrueBrain> RR .. more a fallback system :p
12:03:55 <petern> TrueBrain, yes, there is, somewhere, a recommendation to use the 'nearest' IP address
12:04:14 <petern> which fails in the real world
12:04:34 <petern> because you can't tell from an IP address whether it is near or not, heh
12:04:43 <petern> (sure, if it's in the same subnet...)
12:05:19 <petern> that may be the cause of window's fuckedupness
12:05:25 <petern> i seem to remember someone made linux do it
12:05:34 <petern> and people were going "wtf is this?"
12:05:58 <TrueBrain> it wouldn't suprise me at all if Windows did it like that :p
12:06:24 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd
12:10:48 *** zorgulo has joined #openttd
12:15:37 <Zuu> lol, told a player to set a company PW on a server to secure his company, and then he just left.. :p
12:16:45 <Zuu> Though it seams like he did not do his math. initial loan is 100k, but there are no aircrafts he could afford after building two city airports.
12:18:31 <yorick> are you sure he isn't just a spambot?
12:19:01 <Zuu> Then its a good spambot as it managed to build two airports :)
12:19:20 <yorick> I can make a spambot that manages to build two airports...
12:19:44 <yorick> just try enough times and when out of money, leave
12:19:51 <yorick> there there, you have your spamports
12:56:14 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd
12:56:57 *** Singaporekid has joined #openttd
12:57:12 <Aali> sweet mother of spambots
13:00:31 <Wolf01> yo! there's a spambot in da forum
13:01:31 * yorick should not say spambot in this channel
13:02:26 <Wolf01> it already made 110 topics
13:03:40 <Alberth> he seems goal oriented :)
13:04:24 <yorick> ooh, google doc as website
13:04:51 <yorick> offtopic is quite filled
13:05:49 <yorick> "Austria", "26", "Law", "Performing arts"
13:08:18 <TrueBrain> @kick yorick go away spam bot
13:08:18 *** yorick was kicked by DorpsGek (go away spam bot)
13:12:59 *** LUADuck has joined #openttd
13:13:11 <LUADuck> Hey guess who's back at long notice
13:14:12 <LUADuck> more a quick question - I've got a co-op game that's had the company passworded (and we don't know the password) - anything I can do to remove it without dissolving the company?
13:16:15 <LUADuck> with what RCON command
13:16:23 <yorick> rcon pw "move clientid companyid"
13:16:39 <blathijs> Hmm, does 0.7.0 no longer include any of the old AIs?
13:16:55 *** combuster has joined #openttd
13:17:05 <TrueBrain> blathijs: NoAI replaced them ;)
13:17:07 <Rubidium> I suggest reading the changelog ;)
13:17:24 <TrueBrain> 1 question, 4 replies
13:17:47 <Rubidium> but you all gave him fish, I learned him how to fish ;)
13:17:52 *** Rexxars has joined #openttd
13:17:59 <TrueBrain> "altijd baas boven baas"
13:18:08 <petern> sshd[31170]: error writing /proc/self/oom_adj: Permission denied
13:18:28 <blathijs> So, any old games with AIs you load will probably be messed up (or is there any AI that will deal will with the crap the old AI built gracefully?)
13:18:44 <yorick> "sell the man a fish, and he'll eat for one day, teach the man how to fish, and you threw a great money making chance away"
13:18:45 <TrueBrain> blathijs: I don't think there is one, no :)
13:18:48 <petern> TrueBrain, in my vserver :s
13:18:54 <blathijs> petern: I see that stuff on my server as well, seems it's caused by vserver somehow
13:18:57 <TrueBrain> petern: yeah, I was about to say that .. vserver, not? :p
13:19:14 <TrueBrain> you had lenny, not?
13:19:19 <TrueBrain> I thought they fixed that :p
13:19:31 <blathijs> TrueBrain: You mean vserver-2.2 I guess :-)
13:19:40 <blathijs> TrueBrain: Not linux-2.2
13:19:41 <petern> although i haven't rebooted to debian 5.0.1 yet
13:19:43 <TrueBrain> blathijs: yes, of course, we were talking about vserver, not? :)
13:20:28 <blathijs> TrueBrain: Is there any AI I could recommend in my NEWS.Debian file?
13:20:54 <petern> hmm, i need... PTFE tape, 2 gender benders, a rose and some sealant
13:21:01 <TrueBrain> blathijs: ask Yexo .. or Rubidium .. :p
13:21:26 <Rubidium> one that doesn't have a broken saveload
13:21:28 <glx> blathijs: let the user add what he wants from content download
13:21:52 <blathijs> glx: Obviously, but if there was one "preferred
13:22:02 <blathijs> glx: Obviously, but if there was one "preferred" or "standard" AI, I could mention that
13:22:15 <blathijs> Or one maintained by the openttd team perhaps
13:22:35 <blathijs> Rubidium: A lot of them are broken when saving?
13:23:15 <petern> so they don't know what they were doing when they reload?
13:23:34 <SmatZ> hmm... I was rewriting some code... and it wasn't working the same way as the old code did - now I finally found there was a bug in the old code :-P
13:24:12 <LUADuck> Is there any way to stop these bloody "queried from blah.blah.blah.blah" messages?
13:24:35 <Rubidium> IIRC there is one that reads the information from the map and continues there. I'd say that that is the best one for 'recovering' the old AI mess
13:25:03 <Rubidium> the ones that save stuff (and load that) usually don't check for stuff that is already build (but not by them)
13:25:08 <blathijs> glx: But they don't mention that in the description, I think...
13:25:29 <blathijs> Rubidium: Any clue on which one that is?
13:28:44 <petern> they should all use information from the map ;)
13:28:54 <petern> i don't get to save what i was doing... heheh
13:29:18 <Rubidium> you're free to place signs ;)
13:29:54 *** Biolunar has joined #openttd
13:30:46 <blathijs> Heh, AIs that just drive cars around town. Brilliant :-)
13:31:04 <petern> there's a grf for town cars too, i believe
13:31:20 <petern> gives them no running cost or some such
13:31:24 *** draconnier has joined #openttd
13:33:00 <LUADuck> Any way to increase the limit on "dropping due to no responce in 3 game days"
13:33:27 *** draconnier has joined #openttd
13:33:27 <blathijs> Can opengfx already completely replace the original graphics?
13:33:42 <Rubidium> if you like black buildings/trains, then yes
13:33:53 <frosch123> and you need a empty sample.cat
13:34:09 <blathijs> Since I still can't start openttd withoug sample.cat and the grfs, so I can't access the download service to download opengfx when I don't have the originals...
13:34:46 <LUADuck> Yeah everyone's getting dropped due to no responce
13:35:05 <frosch123> 3 gamedays is quite a lot
13:35:28 <LUADuck> I know it is, but is it increasable to allow debugging?
13:35:39 <Rubidium> the major reason not to 'package' OpenGFX and such is because they are not finished
13:36:10 <frosch123> debugging in multiplayer? why?
13:36:28 <Rubidium> when they are finished (and thus relatively bug free) there's no reason to make it an installation package or so
13:36:30 * petern wasn't even aware there was a message "dropping due to no responce in 3 game days"
13:36:49 <petern> (i can't find it in the source...)
13:37:00 * LUADuck reminds petern that it's 4 game days, and that LUADuck fails at copy-pasta
13:37:08 <blathijs> Rubidium: Would it be a lot of work to make the main menu work without any base graphics package?
13:37:16 <blathijs> Rubidium: I guess the buttons and window decorations are also in there?
13:37:26 <petern> i wasn't searching for the number :p
13:37:33 <blathijs> Or are we using TT all over?
13:37:54 <Rubidium> we default to the bitmap font
13:38:01 <frosch123> blathijs: easier to write an external tool that can access bananas :)
13:39:32 <Rubidium> either you install the (unfinished) opengfx graphics or you install the stubs for the original graphics, which you then need to copy from your CD
13:40:22 <blathijs> Where can I enable truetype rendering?
13:40:40 <Rubidium> set a font in the config file
13:40:52 <Rubidium> or use a language whose characters are not in the default font set
13:41:37 <fonsinchen> Has anyone got some experience running gdb in mingw?
13:42:04 <blathijs> Rubidium: Hmm, the diff.gz in that directory is gzip'd twice :-)
13:42:30 <fonsinchen> I'd like to interrupt an openttd running in gdb, but CTRL-C leads to termination of gdb instead.
13:43:44 <blathijs> Rubidium: What font does it default to in the latter case then?
13:44:18 <Rubidium> the font that fontconfig thinks is the best for the given iso language code (en_GB/en_US/nl_NL/nl_BE/etc)
13:44:35 <Rubidium> and that language code is stored in the language file
13:45:49 <Rubidium> that ofcourse requires the binary to be built with fontconfig and freetype
13:46:22 <Rubidium> and good luck with making lintian and friends shut up about the generated .debs ;)
13:47:28 <Rubidium> which is due to the fact that icu-config does not allow us to chose a specific sub library and just tells us to link to *all* icu libraries
13:48:52 <blathijs> Rubidium: Ah, fontconfig can do the guessing :-)
14:04:22 <CIA-9> OpenTTD: alberth * r16052 /trunk/src/vehicle_gui.cpp: -Codechange: Applying VehicleRefitWidgets in RefitWindow, fixed widget number comment in _vehicle_refit_widgets
14:07:52 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd
14:09:52 <LUADuck> Is there anyway to restrict MagLev in a game?
14:10:04 <LUADuck> or does that need a source edit
14:10:08 <CIA-9> OpenTTD: alberth * r16053 /trunk/src/vehicle_gui.cpp: -Codechange: Added nested widgets to vehicle refit and vehicle details windows.
14:10:37 <yorick> LUADuck: how do you mean?
14:10:56 <LUADuck> I need a Monorail-only game
14:11:22 <SmatZ> you can code a simple GRF for that
14:11:41 <SmatZ> or end your game in 2020 :-p
14:14:38 *** DephNet[Paul] has joined #openttd
14:31:18 <fonsinchen> How do you debug openttd on windows? There must be someone who has done that ...
14:31:52 <TrueBrain> the same as on any other system: with a debugger
14:32:08 <fonsinchen> gdb has quirks in mingw
14:32:16 <fonsinchen> I can't interrupt openttd
14:32:44 <fonsinchen> Can I debug a mingw-compiled openttd with that?
14:32:57 <TrueBrain> or else you make a msvc compiled binary
14:32:59 <yorick> gdb works here with mingw
14:33:08 <fonsinchen> how do you interrupt?
14:34:12 <fonsinchen> I don't know where. I want to wait until it hits the infinite loop, then press a key combo to interrupt it and examine the backtrace
14:34:34 <fonsinchen> An msvc compiled binary won't help with a mingw-specific problem
14:35:16 <fonsinchen> On Linux you can press CTRL-C in gdb to interrupt the program
14:35:26 <fonsinchen> on mingw it interrupts gdb instead
14:35:57 <blathijs> What's the official name for the content downloading stuff? "Content Download Service"? Or Downloading?
14:36:24 <yorick> try "start gdb openttd"
14:36:30 <yorick> instead of "gdb openttd"
14:38:22 <blathijs> yorick: Which is an acronym for?
14:38:38 <fonsinchen> doesn't help. Now it doesn't catch the CTRL-C at all.
14:38:53 <blathijs> yorick: Ah, found it on bananas.openttd.org
14:38:54 <yorick> Base graphics and Newgrfs and Noais And Scenarios
14:39:04 <TrueBrain> blathijs: or just: content service :)
14:39:09 <yorick> fonsinchen: try doing it inside openttd
14:39:41 <blathijs> TrueBrain: Ah, that works for me :-)
14:40:08 <yorick> tomatoes left to be...
14:40:33 <fonsinchen> nice, like this I should be able to catch it once at least ...
14:46:44 *** combuster has joined #openttd
14:58:45 <jonty-comp> thank you guys for clearing out the ottd forums :3
15:10:07 * TrueBrain finally gets idea for WT3 ...
15:22:20 <Wolf01> nice, saved a game and now I can't load it -.-'''
15:24:00 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd
15:31:39 <yorick> entering of complex characters fails (Chinese, Japanese, CJK), fee FS#2484 <-- LOL
15:43:00 <glx> it's just yet another OSX only bug
15:44:12 <EoD> Is it possible to add some text to a station name which the player can't change?
15:46:26 *** combuster has joined #openttd
15:49:53 *** pavel1269 has joined #openttd
16:04:43 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd
16:16:27 <yorick> ok, FS#1829 is obsolete :/
16:18:49 <TrueBrain> [17:44] <EoD> Is it possible to add some text to a station name which the player can't change? <- then what use is it? :p
16:18:53 <yorick> because server-side string messages are no longer supported
16:19:07 <yorick> NETWORK_ACTION_SERVER_MESSAGE no longer supports string
16:22:16 <EoD> TrueBrain: For example a lock sign for "locked" airports
16:22:37 *** TinoDid is now known as TinoDidriksen
16:23:47 <EoD> airports which give no landing permissions to aircrafts
16:24:04 <TrueBrain> sounds useless, those airports :p
16:24:17 <Ammler> yorick: petern didn't ask, why obsolete, he asked why skeptical ;-)
16:25:02 <EoD> TrueBrain: that's not the issue ;)
16:26:03 <yorick> it could be fixed, I think
16:29:06 <Aali> wow, another really stupid annoyance in MSVC
16:29:21 *** combuster has joined #openttd
16:29:44 <Aali> ctrl-c with nothing selected still copies one character from the current position
16:31:14 <Aali> so, if you hit it by accident when pasting something, you've just replaced your clipboard with a single character
16:33:06 <EoD> in visual studio you copy a whole line when you press ctrl+c with nothing selected...
16:33:10 *** Polygon has joined #openttd
16:34:33 <Aali> which version? I just get the character behind the current position :/
16:35:42 <Aali> hmm, maybe I should upgrade
16:37:55 <Aali> I keep putting it off since I don't do much windows deving
16:58:51 <EoD> Aali: Actually i don't recommend windows deving :)
16:59:45 <Aali> it's a real pain in the ass, but sometimes I have no other choice
17:00:19 <Aali> that or all the other choices are much worse :P
17:00:41 <yorick> when making a new gui, would I need to do old-style widget defs?
17:18:01 *** Frostregen has joined #openttd
17:18:31 <Zuu> The first coordinate in info-window is it the X or Y coordinate?
17:19:33 *** Swebonny has joined #openttd
17:19:55 <CIA-9> OpenTTD: glx * r16054 /trunk/src/vehicle_gui.cpp: -Fix: non advanced vehicle list didn't handle company switching correctly
17:20:06 <Swebonny> Hello guys, one question here. Is it possible to change the amount of money trough console?
17:20:53 <Swebonny> Was a idiot that joined and spent them all on terraforming :/
17:22:23 <Swebonny> Heh, it was supposed to be a server for the members of Facepunch forum, but seems like there are idiots there too.
17:22:31 <Zuu> Hmm, why does the shade move sideways of aircrafts when they land.. just to make it harder to figure out the holding rect?
17:22:38 <Swebonny> Oh, LUAduck is here.
17:24:46 <Zuu> yorick: Good tip, but unfortuanally not. I'll hack togeather an AI that put tiles on the aircraft locations. :)
17:25:51 <yorick> and photoshop it together
17:26:22 *** Klanticus has joined #openttd
17:26:26 <EoD> Where is the definition of GetStation(uint index)?
17:26:42 <Zuu> yorick: How will that help me? Or is that an answer to someone else?
17:26:56 <yorick> no, you need to know the holding rect
17:27:16 <yorick> (the rectangle in which they circle, right?)
17:27:38 <yorick> can't you just comment out the line that makes them dirty before they move?
17:27:42 <Zuu> But the shade is not on the tiles that the aircrafts are on.
17:28:03 <Zuu> Because they shift sideways about a tile when they land.
17:28:10 <yorick> why do you need to know that
17:28:28 <Zuu> So to get it right I make an AI that puts signs on all tiles aircrafts visit, so I can probably figure that out.
17:28:56 <frosch123> EoD: oldpool.h, it is created by ## in some macro
17:29:02 <frosch123> DECLARE_OLD_POOL or so
17:29:06 <Zuu> NoAI don't provide any function to get number of airplanes waiting nor the size of holding pattern of airports, so I'll need to hardcode the holding patterns for now.
17:29:33 <Zuu> Getting the usage of stations is usefull so you know when they are crowdy or not.
17:29:40 <yorick> it isnt in airport_movement.h?
17:30:06 <EoD> frosch123: thx :) - now i have to figure out what's going on there...
17:30:11 <Zuu> You can probably get it from the source as well, but haven't checked there :)

18:19:33 <George> no. I want to sleep :(
18:19:50 <petern> we don't make win32 builds any more
18:20:31 <TrueBrain> it was too much effort for too little gain
18:20:50 *** Swallow has joined #openttd
18:21:54 <EoD> you could make sparc/linux builds. Much effort for a lot of gain :-p
18:22:18 <TrueBrain> explain that 'gain' part please :p

18:22:31 <EoD> I don't have to compile it myself anymore ;)
18:22:56 <petern> i don't think i'd want to run it on my SS5
18:23:07 *** Gazelle has joined #openttd
18:23:25 <EoD> compiling openttd on my 500MHz sparc takes ~45min
18:23:37 <Noldo> how long does kernel take?
18:23:48 <Gazelle> hey, I was wondering, can you download the original transport tcyoon scenarios for open ttd ?
18:24:29 <petern> you can find them on your CD
18:24:33 <EoD> Noldo: Don't know. I always start compiling when i go to university and when i'm back it's finished ;)
18:24:54 <Noldo> EoD: use time make next time
18:25:33 <EoD> but i have a relatively small kernel, so there is no real comparison
18:25:56 <petern> i can't remember the last time i regularly compiled kernels
18:26:23 <Gazelle> I dont have a cd, just downloaded the needed files from the transporttycoon website
18:26:48 <TrueBrain> Gazelle: that is illegal; we don't discuss illegal things here
18:27:15 <TrueBrain> (like telling in here you stole a car and wonder how you could now get it to start with a key instead of hotwiring ...)
18:27:35 <Gazelle> but I thought it was free
18:27:55 <Gazelle> because it is such an old game?
18:28:06 <Gazelle> you cant buy it somewhere
18:28:18 <TrueBrain> so stealing a 30 year old car is not stealing .. I mean .. it is old!
18:29:39 <TrueBrain> I always refer to classicgamingpresents.com, but I am sure there are others out there which still sell the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe
18:29:59 <petern> because that's not legit
18:30:09 <petern> the original scenarios suc
18:30:25 <TrueBrain> petern: it isn't? That sucks :)
18:30:30 <petern> TrueBrain, you fool :p
18:30:53 <TrueBrain> petern: you know me :)
18:30:56 <petern> using that site is worse than just downloading it
18:31:07 <TrueBrain> petern: so give us a better alternative! :)
18:31:35 <Gazelle> hm but that site is legal?
18:31:40 <Gazelle> because you can also dwonload it there
18:31:48 <petern> that site it not legal
18:31:54 <Gazelle> but I can also host and ask payment
18:32:57 <KingJ> I remember looking at the prebuilt scenarios and thinking "How you could possibly do something this bad?"
18:33:25 <TrueBrain> there are nicer ones at BaNaNaS yes :)
18:34:06 <Gazelle> but some of banananas are not working here
18:34:10 <Gazelle> because they are .sc0
18:34:18 <Gazelle> but you need svn or something like that, isnt it ?

19:28:54 <Sacro> Gazelle: the original Transport Tycoon didn't come with Scenarios
19:29:05 <TinoDidriksen> I love how their product page for Transport Tycoon Collection says "Star Control is a science-fiction wargame which pits the forces of the Alliance of Free Stars..."
19:29:07 <Sacro> I don't think they appeared till Deluxe

19:33:36 <petern> trying to play a music score with 4 staves whilst the page keeps turning back by itself
19:34:04 <Sacro> orudge: hmm, still, none in the original
19:35:20 <orudge> Sacro: no, but the World Editor is an add-on for the original
19:35:23 <orudge> none in the original original, no
19:35:33 <orudge> but you were wrong about "not appearing until Deluxe" is what I was meaning
19:36:33 <Sacro> kinda skipped TTD, couldn't get into TTDP
19:36:46 * orudge got TTD when he first got the Internet
19:36:48 <orudge> found it on some web site
19:36:51 <orudge> took about 45 minutes to download
19:36:54 <yorick> I never had TTO or TTD
19:36:55 <petern> the score for wicked is evil
19:36:56 <orudge> it was all new and different
19:37:22 <orudge> then I found TTDPatch a while later, but thought it was some kind of cheat program
19:37:30 <orudge> kept an eye out on it though
19:37:36 <orudge> and saw it coming out with all these fancy features
19:37:49 <orudge> throughout this time, I was always playing the DOS version of TTD, too, until I got Windows XP and couldn't
19:37:58 <orudge> it was always smoother and more reliable than the Windows version, on Win98 at least

20:32:59 <Nite_Owl> I was asking if you all had marshmallow peeps on the other side of the pond
20:33:57 <Nite_Owl> no answered so I thought that you did not know what peeps are so I showed you an example
20:35:02 <frosch123> "dentists luv us! tm" ...
20:36:32 <LUADuck> Anyone know of any way to find out who's deleting all our co-op rails?
20:37:22 <welshdragon> Nite_Owl: never heard of them in the UK
20:37:36 <welshdragon> LUADuck: are you a server host?
20:38:02 * Zuu lols at PAXLink for building *lots of* buses just becuase the the number of waiting pax at the airport got below the threashold for some time. :)
20:38:55 <Nite_Owl> Thank you welshdragon - that answers my question
20:38:55 <frosch123> you are building more busses the less passengers are there?
20:39:45 <Zuu> frosch123: Nope, but it takes time for passengers to be deliveried, and for every x tick that there is to few passengers it builds a new bus, if there is enough waiting in town.
20:39:49 <Nite_Owl> peeps are an Easter tradition in the US
20:40:39 <frosch123> hmm, somehow all ais seem to react on jams with building more vehicles
20:41:04 <Zuu> I have just added code to do the opposite for stations :)
20:41:44 <Zuu> By measure number of vehicles in the stations over time. (and number of aircrafts in queue for airport)
20:43:19 <Zuu> But if there would be a jam between stations it will still build more vehicles untill the jam impact the number of vehicles in the bus stops.

21:56:46 <Patrick> does the new PBS work with YAPF?
21:57:37 <Zuu> If you talk about PBS in 0.7.0
22:00:09 <Patrick> hey, so I have an idea with big-load stations I've been throwing around, wondered if anyone had come up with it or had some thought
22:00:39 <Patrick> if I have a stream of tightly-packed trains and I break that up by putting them into a station, it's going to break the stream pattern
22:00:40 <Aali> there's really no reason to use anything but yapf for trains in 0.7
22:00:47 <Patrick> i.e. trains won't reassemble at all
22:01:15 <Patrick> but if every single path through the station is the same length, then every single train should take the same length of time in the station
22:01:21 <Patrick> and thus reassemble seamlessly
22:01:55 <Aali> loading/unloading times will mess up that scheme though
22:02:42 <Patrick> they'd all be full loads of the same cargo
22:03:08 <Patrick> openttdcoop would have a better handle on heavy-load concepts but I get the feeling it's more of a brute force approach over there
22:03:24 <Patrick> I'm going for almost, the maths and pushing the boundaries of networking
22:03:32 <Ameecher> Aali, would be fine with timetabling
22:03:47 <Ameecher> ie, make them load for the same length of time and leave regardless of cargo
22:04:18 <Patrick> now I just need to program a calculator to tell me how many platforms I need to host for a full stream :)
22:04:31 <Patrick> it's somewhere between 4 and 5 for monorail
22:06:00 <planetmaker> that depends upon train length
22:06:10 <planetmaker> train speed, wagon loading speed
22:10:20 <Patrick> well, yes, I figured that much out :P

22:37:02 <Cutter> I would like to know how to increase the font size
22:37:27 <Cutter> I haven't found this setting in the preferences, nor in the config file
22:37:44 <Rubidium> large/medium/small_size ?
22:38:42 <Cutter> how to switch from one to another?
22:39:09 <Patrick> so what's the rationale with one-way PBS?
22:39:18 <glx> you don't, you just change the values
22:39:29 <Patrick> how is it different from normal signal directions?
22:39:51 <Cutter> what where the values in v0.6.3?
22:40:03 <Zuu> The non-one-way PBS signal can be passed from behind, given that a path can be reserved to a front side of another signal.
22:40:03 <Patrick> I guess it made more sense to have two signal types than depend on signals being placed on both sides or not
22:40:11 <Rubidium> the same as in 0.7.0
22:40:22 <Patrick> I meant more the design of having them like that
22:40:25 <glx> just 0.6.3 didn't autoselect a font ;)
22:41:01 <Cutter> but the font appeared larger in 0.6.3
22:41:02 <glx> I use 7, 11, 18 with arial
22:41:08 <Patrick> Zuu: ok, so is it more realistic, what?
22:41:16 <Patrick> does it let you build much cooler networks?
22:41:19 <Rubidium> Cutter: in 0.6.3 your language would have missing characters
22:41:52 <Patrick> well, I can prove on a test network that they behave like that
22:41:55 <glx> oh Cutter, it's because µ :)
22:41:59 <Patrick> but I'm not going to easily see the rationale
22:42:21 <Patrick> actually, I remember reading a wiki about "realistic signalling
22:42:36 <Patrick> it lets trains temporarily go on the "wrong side" as long as they can get back
22:42:42 <Cutter> does openttd now use system fonts?
22:43:37 <glx> yes, it select the first system font able do draw all chars in language file
22:43:40 <Rubidium> if your language contains characters that are not part of the base font then it does use the system fonts
22:43:58 <glx> Rubidium: he's french, and the missing char is µ
22:44:33 <Rubidium> why's that character on your keyboard anyway?
22:44:49 <Cutter> if that's the only missing char, I will switch back to the default language
22:45:04 <Rubidium> (can't remember writing that character during French class)
22:45:04 <glx> yes it's useful to type µtorrent ;)
22:45:33 <glx> dunno why AZERTY creators decided to put it on the keyboard
22:45:54 <Patrick> so my option for "show building tools for when no suitable vehicles are available" but I still can't build monorail or maglev early
22:45:57 <Patrick> whats' the deal with that?
22:46:06 <Rubidium> anyways, /me is off to sleep
22:46:28 <Cutter> can I switch back to the font used in 0.6.3 without changing keyboard layout or game language?
22:47:02 <Rubidium> compile without freetype support
22:47:17 <glx> you can also set a non existing font for *_font
22:48:05 *** DJNekkid has joined #openttd
22:49:45 <glx> hmm no that doesn't work it seems
22:52:28 <glx> try "arial bold" with 7, 11, 18
22:52:34 <DJNekkid> is it "out of the box" easy to reverse a trains 8sprite direction to opposite, just by adding something to its reference in VarAction2's?
22:54:48 <Cutter> arial bold doesn't work but verdana bold does
22:56:40 <glx> don't set any font, start "openttd -dfreetype1" and check what is the fallback font
22:58:53 <Cutter> glx: then the same font as with default settings is used
22:59:14 <glx> I mean the text in the console :)
22:59:30 <Cutter> a message says "using sprite font" before the game starts
22:59:46 <Cutter> this font doesn't look like the one from 0.6.3
23:00:27 <glx> and the language is set to french?
23:01:40 <glx> for me it says "using sprite font" "using sprite font" "fallback font" "using sprite font" "fallback font"
23:02:36 <glx> and when you change language it retry to detect a suitable font
23:03:31 <Cutter> when I switch to English the font is right
23:04:27 <Cutter> so the console is lying about using sprite font when I add the -dfreetype1 parameter
23:05:14 <Cutter> uh sorry there's more messages later
23:06:55 <glx> anyway the only way is to specify the font in openttd.cfg
23:07:21 <Cutter> may I specify "Sprite" or something like that?
23:07:55 <glx> IIRC tahoma bold is quite similar to sprite font
