IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2009-05-07
⏴ go to previous day
00:00:31 <Zantor64> ok well it fixed part of it
00:00:42 <Zantor64> I still have 2 trains consistently getting lost even tho the path is there
00:02:15 <Zantor64> and yet another pbs was making things act up
00:16:32 <Zantor64> Eddi|zuHause, are you there?
00:16:59 <Zantor64> did you use a newGRF with that map you linked me to?
00:17:00 <csokisnyuszi> hehe just made a tycoon map
00:17:28 <Eddi|zuHause> yes. most notably alpinew.grf and dbsetxlw.grf
00:17:31 <csokisnyuszi> 128x128 for testing
00:17:47 <Eddi|zuHause> they all should be on grfcrawler
00:19:27 <Zantor64> gee I ought to get more into OpenTTD
00:19:30 <Zantor64> it's full of goodies
00:19:39 <Zantor64> I can give it a try if you'd like, csokisnyuszi
00:19:47 <csokisnyuszi> now tell me it ain't perfect ;>
00:21:33 <Zantor64> hehe spots for stations; that's very nice
00:22:05 <csokisnyuszi> and it defaults to 2040 ;)
00:22:10 <Zantor64> I'll start playing with it right now
00:22:13 <csokisnyuszi> you can experience with maglev
00:22:29 <Zantor64> I like the technology progressing tho
00:22:48 <csokisnyuszi> hm well you'r right
00:22:49 <Zantor64> so personally I'd want to start in 1965
00:23:41 <Zantor64> I was told 1960 is a good starting year cuz there's a little bit more stuff availab
00:24:14 <SpComb> depends on what GRFs you play with
00:24:23 <Zantor64> true; I use the stock ones
00:24:32 <csokisnyuszi> time machine started :)
00:24:32 <Zantor64> I have yet to find mods to help it reflect American stuff
00:25:07 <Zantor64> is the daylength path not a permanent feature yet?
00:26:48 <Zantor64> that does look like a tycoon's heaven all right
00:26:52 <Zantor64> no, how to lay it out?
00:27:44 <csokisnyuszi> first i would reserve the places left out for stations
00:28:37 <Zantor64> I read in the quick start guide that you should build stations first
00:28:39 <csokisnyuszi> then you can test making solutions
00:30:25 <Zantor64> stations built and track laid to reserve the spots
00:30:39 <Zantor64> but what's with the booku shopping malls?
00:31:26 <csokisnyuszi> you mean the industries ? <;
00:31:37 <csokisnyuszi> you can connect them too
00:32:13 <Zantor64> it hadn't occurred to me that malls are industries
00:32:20 <Zantor64> it just hasn't sunk in lol
00:32:38 <Zantor64> this might make a great 4-player multiplayer map
00:33:00 <csokisnyuszi> hm getting a dictionary on malls
00:33:32 <Zantor64> mall or shopping mall would be the word to look for
00:33:57 <csokisnyuszi> oh you mean many malls in a town?
00:34:12 <csokisnyuszi> it was generated
00:34:19 <csokisnyuszi> and į didn't bomb it
00:34:51 <csokisnyuszi> hehehyes funny thing
00:34:58 <csokisnyuszi> but population has to eat something
00:36:43 <csokisnyuszi> btw i might start with industries to make some money
00:45:57 <Zantor64> I can't quite make it out. What is that shape supposed to be?
00:46:08 <Zantor64> I can get my eyes to focus on the illusion, but I don't know what it is
00:47:25 <Zantor64> it would help to print it out but that would take a lot of ink
00:50:14 *** sigmund_ has joined #openttd
00:55:33 <csokisnyuszi> well its interesting to see 5 megatons of coal waiting in a station ;>
00:55:58 <Zantor64> and 2 megatons of grain and livestock
00:56:42 <csokisnyuszi> depends on how much time it accumates
00:57:33 <Zantor64> I'm just contemplating
00:57:37 <Zantor64> how to link it all together....
00:57:55 <Zantor64> because there are so many options
00:58:06 <csokisnyuszi> you go round and round or make a starburst, that will be more complicated į think
00:58:22 <Zantor64> I'm not big on roundaboust
00:58:34 <Zantor64> I havent' toyed with it much yet
00:58:44 <Zantor64> or are you talking about junctions?
00:59:02 <csokisnyuszi> was talking about topologies
00:59:24 <Zantor64> roundabout and cloverleaf mysefl
00:59:25 <csokisnyuszi> starburst means to connect everything onn level center
00:59:56 <Eddi|zuHause> cloverleaf is generally a bad junction
01:00:17 <csokisnyuszi> i have to learn that too
01:00:21 <Zantor64> I've had it work fine for me in two junctions on my last map
01:00:51 <Eddi|zuHause> roundabout is even worse, because it is a much bigger bottleneck
01:01:15 <Zantor64> hence why I want to get away from them
01:02:25 <petern> mmm, extremely easy money cheat in IS2
01:02:51 <petern> infrastructure sharing
01:03:33 <Eddi|zuHause> people should get away from constructing rail junctions like road junctions, where every entrance is connected to every exit
01:03:42 <Eddi|zuHause> rail networks are not constructed like that
01:08:49 * Zantor64 is still contemplating how to do the railroads
01:12:34 <petern> yay, £10m in 'free money' created
01:26:36 *** KenjiE20|LT has joined #openttd
01:55:30 <Zantor64> csokisnyuszi, for the one set to 2040, you need to start with more funds; I had to max my loan out just to get one locomotive engine
01:56:29 <Zantor64> it's slowly paying for itself, but not very fast
01:56:29 <csokisnyuszi> but earned 1 million in 1 years with 2 trains
01:56:41 <Zantor64> transporting what freight?
01:56:55 <Zantor64> I'm doing passengers
01:57:05 <csokisnyuszi> and ofcourse with maglev ;>
01:57:31 <Zantor64> because I cannot make up my mind how to do the rail network. Often what I do is I just make a bunch of point to point stations and connect them into a network as I go
01:58:03 <csokisnyuszi> it don't need to be one network
01:58:22 <Zantor64> I hadn't thought of that
01:58:24 <csokisnyuszi> then you can start making bridges
01:59:06 <Zantor64> it is nice to make 17k USD in one delivery tho
01:59:16 <Zantor64> I don't even have to advertise :D
01:59:47 <Zantor64> in ordinary SP you have to advertise sometimes
02:00:59 <csokisnyuszi> i've made this now
02:01:10 <Zantor64> I'd have a different take on it tho
02:01:15 <Zantor64> as we all think differently
02:02:06 <csokisnyuszi> įve found the best be one-way stations, one side input other side out
02:07:20 <Zantor64> I keep getting lost trains
02:07:37 <csokisnyuszi> then it must be a maze
02:07:39 <Zantor64> on the one map I just redid a main junction on
02:07:45 <Zantor64> you want me to send you the save file?
02:07:51 <Zantor64> I have 1 waypoint and it's not in the area
02:08:00 <Zantor64> a waypoint shouldn't be necessary
02:08:05 <Zantor64> I've had no pathfinder issues before
02:10:40 <csokisnyuszi> this little X earns 6.5 million euros/year
02:10:43 <Zantor64> thank you for the insight
02:10:57 <Zantor64> about 8 or 9 million USD
02:14:26 <csokisnyuszi> though just tried out things
02:15:53 <csokisnyuszi> hehe į will build a lol train
02:22:43 <csokisnyuszi> even this makes mony
02:23:23 <csokisnyuszi> and faster than any bus
02:24:19 *** csokisnyuszi is now known as hoax
02:33:12 <hoax> hard to find suitable place
02:47:27 <hoax> ah smaller distance does pay too little
02:48:07 <hoax> nut it's lol to put 2 stations few cells away
02:49:57 <hoax> wow did you try to stack stations?
02:51:33 <De_Ghost> that is a bad station design
02:52:20 <De_Ghost> well for a 1 industry picup it's fine
02:54:04 <hoax> well it gives huge covering ares
03:00:43 <hoax> hahah this actually makes money
03:01:50 <De_Ghost> have u seen the latest openttdcoop game :o
03:05:35 <hoax> Zantor64, what so you think about that platform? ;>
03:12:55 *** TinoDidriksen has joined #openttd
03:16:24 <hoax> wow į found something new ;>>
03:20:14 <Zantor64> I haven't been watching the IRC window lol
03:20:42 <Zantor64> that is one weird lookin platform
03:28:30 <Zantor64> is there a way to use path-based signals with an advanced roundabout?
03:30:38 <De_Ghost> u don't have to drag platforms like that anymore
03:39:50 <Zantor64> hey hoax where would you recommend I start on the tycoon heaven map?
03:40:27 <hoax> transport oil from one map edge to the other
03:40:47 <hoax> and you can take coal on same track too
03:41:23 <hoax> and when you have money, you can think about passengers
03:41:58 <hoax> make some system you want to test
03:42:21 <hoax> i'm testing longtrains now
03:43:13 *** TinoDidriksen has joined #openttd
03:43:21 <Zantor64> I just made a train with ten oil tanker cars
03:43:35 <hoax> didn't find a bypass;< so į must stick with limits
03:44:18 <hoax> bypass for maximum platform length
03:44:42 <hoax> i'm not hacking, just hoaxing :)
03:45:55 <Zantor64> lol 2.2 million litres of oil
03:53:08 <Zantor64> one nice thing about PBS is tracks can be less cumbersome
03:54:39 <Zantor64> I looked at PBS junctions and they look to use less track than pressignaled or conventional junctions
03:57:26 <hoax> have made a huge train, but only loads from hald of the 2 platforms it is in ;<
03:58:35 <hoax> and couldn't glue 24 square together
03:59:14 <Zantor64> I'll be able to pay my loan off quickly doing this\
04:00:15 <Zantor64> I'm waiting for the Floss 47 to come out
04:00:20 <Zantor64> it's my favorite diesel train
04:00:53 <Zantor64> it comes out in 63 or 65
04:01:54 <hoax> guess i have to stick with 22 car trains
04:04:20 <Zantor64> that's a little unrealistic. I've heard of freight trains with up to 120 cars
04:05:02 <Zantor64> I've SEEN freight trains with over 50
04:05:06 <hoax> well you can make long trains, but loading will be wery slooow
04:05:20 <Zantor64> but in the US I've only seen passenger trains no longer than 4 cars
04:05:41 <Zantor64> make sure the length of your station matches the length of your train or loading WILL be slow
04:06:51 <hoax> yes, it will be 24 units for 12 square platform
04:07:08 <Zantor64> you can change the limit in the advanced options
04:07:42 <Zantor64> go to advanced settings \ stations and in there you can change the max station spread
04:07:44 <hoax> wow į didn't know that ;>
04:09:28 <Zantor64> do heed the warning on the setting though
04:09:37 <Zantor64> the higher u go it may slow the game down
04:09:46 <hoax> ok done 21 square platform <;
04:10:55 <Zantor64> do you know of any heightmaps or scenarios that have been done for North America?
04:11:58 <Zantor64> yay time for an engine upgrade
04:14:20 <totalwormage> 02:27 < matt> noooooooes /o\
04:14:23 <hoax> was good enough for starting out
04:15:09 <Zantor64> well hai totalwormage
04:19:22 <hoax> well i don't see what you will feed in that yet
04:19:25 <Zantor64> what do you think of my station?
04:19:29 <Zantor64> I will be doing trains of course
04:19:33 <Zantor64> not hugely long ones obviously
04:19:55 <hoax> its not connected in every ways though
04:20:02 <Zantor64> why do I keep getting the AI debug window?
04:21:43 <Zantor64> oh a competitor keeps trying open up and it dies cuz its' a dumb ai
04:21:48 <hoax> donno, telling you that you should download AI too?
04:21:49 <totalwormage> Zantor64: the station will probably be clotted
04:23:03 <hoax> Zantor64, this long train half livestock half grain cars, makes 1.5million euros+/year now
04:23:10 <totalwormage> i mean, trains will have to wait on eachother, cause all tracks are connected
04:23:32 <Zantor64> I will test it in due time
04:24:04 <totalwormage> i had some fun trying to figure out a good station
04:24:13 <hoax> heheh gotto test compactstation now
04:25:01 <Zantor64> I also have some planes flying
04:25:19 <hoax> sure planes are the easiest
04:25:23 <Zantor64> which color are you?
04:27:11 <Zantor64> that looks pretty good
04:27:22 <Zantor64> I haven't tried anything like that yet
04:27:55 <hoax> ah wanted to make station compact, but train won't go in beyond the corner
04:28:55 <Zantor64> have there been openTTD coop games?
04:30:37 <totalwormage> are you kidding?! ;]
04:31:11 <Zantor64> I was just wondering. I'm new to the Internet side of OpenTTD
04:40:29 <Zantor64> I"m thinking to play with PBS more to see where it's useful
04:45:55 <Zantor64> you guys seem to have this as a primary pastime, but I have a somewhat hard time getting into it
04:46:03 <Zantor64> it's just not clicking right away
04:46:56 <hoax> haven't played this game since 2000
04:47:05 <Zantor64> it's come and go for me
04:47:10 <hoax> but it's like bicycling you cannot forget
04:47:10 <Zantor64> other games hold my interest longer
04:51:56 <hoax> it's a one way around 2 path, with pathfinder lights
04:52:26 *** Zantor64 is now known as Zantor
04:55:23 <hoax> so the trains can use all four platforms
05:02:10 <De_Ghost> are u hosting an internet game?
05:02:34 <De_Ghost> i like building in other peopl's :o
05:02:41 <Zantor> I'd play but my firewall won't let me
05:02:51 <Zantor> plus I need to go to bed soon
05:03:04 <De_Ghost> firewall only stop u from hosting
05:24:32 <hoax> [070308] De_Ghost it's 1 am :)

08:59:36 <planetmaker> petern, concerning IS you write that the system can easily be cheated for money. uhm... how? I'm not sure I understand you.
08:59:51 <petern> it's so easy it's funny
09:00:02 <petern> tip, you need a sacrificial company
09:00:03 <planetmaker> besides that, I see that most problems with this patch are social
09:00:31 <planetmaker> petern, well... building tracks and renting out for free?
09:03:21 <petern> on the company you want, set up a small network between two towns
09:03:41 <petern> on the sacrificial company, purchase vehicles and run them between the stations
09:04:00 <planetmaker> for a HUGE fee on the tracks...
09:04:17 <petern> the sacrificial company will die, but only after 3 quarters or so
09:04:36 <petern> i managed to reap £10 million with only two trains on a very short network
09:05:07 <petern> ta da, you now have £10 million instead of £200,000
09:05:22 <planetmaker> ripping off other players may work fine, too. Seen that :) Just put in some tiles during track construction and rise fees to 10k or more per tile and month
09:05:36 <petern> yes, it's basically the same
09:05:48 <petern> except nastier, as the other player is trying to play
09:06:05 <dihedral> my laptop's broken :-(
09:06:08 <petern> it's easier than the shares cheat, as you can do it instantly
09:06:28 <planetmaker> yes. But no-one is actually forced to use the infrastructure of others.
09:06:58 <planetmaker> But otoh I can see players complaining and fighting and blood being shed about it :)
09:07:02 <petern> well, unless point 3 comes in....
09:07:09 <dihedral> planetmaker, would it be possible to let others know where the connections between their tracks and other peoples are?
09:07:42 <planetmaker> dihedral, in principle yes. But currently not that exactly. Of course you can query tiles and tracks are coloured by the fences.
09:07:58 <planetmaker> so you can see. But you need to look a bit closer than just "oh, there's track".
09:08:10 <dihedral> i mean, make it more visible to the user before they even build trains
09:08:24 <planetmaker> petern, #3? Well. You usually have to ask for connections as you cannot build on tiles of other companies.
09:08:36 <dihedral> or highlight the user to accept - decline, when the trains pf for the first time notices going via foreign tracks :-P
09:08:55 <petern> planetmaker, you can extend, if say a through station is left empty on one side
09:09:42 <planetmaker> petern, yes, that's possible, sure.But it can be avoided by the builder of that station.
09:10:13 <planetmaker> but then it's an explicit "disallow" (by proper usage of the adjacent tiles) than an explicit "allow"
09:10:23 <planetmaker> any proposals for that?
09:10:57 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
09:11:07 <petern> it's also possible to be extending your own tracks and the other company "blocks" your building with theirs
09:11:29 <planetmaker> well. That's also possible in current trunk
09:11:48 <petern> but it's no use to anyone in trunk
09:11:56 <petern> in IS it gives the blocker an advantage
09:12:26 <planetmaker> rename Ammler Amy ;)
09:12:39 <petern> basically IS relies on everyone playing nice, heh
09:12:41 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd
09:12:58 <TrueBrain> people playing nice .... like ever :p
09:13:04 <petern> which basically means the people who'll happily play sandbox on their own for years
09:13:24 <petern> rather than the people who care about things like making money and "stealing goods"
09:14:46 <planetmaker> petern, well. It's about making contracts. You have to trust your partners to some degree.
09:15:21 <planetmaker> like in RL. But in RL you can sue your inhonest partners. In Openttd-IS you cannot :)
09:15:47 <TrueBrain> where you can sue people!
09:16:06 <planetmaker> TrueBrain, the server admin :) @kick and !rcon reset_company are the judges friend :)
09:16:48 <planetmaker> Generally, one might possibly resort to global sharing settings.
09:17:02 <planetmaker> then an easy rip-off by too high fees cannot happen.
09:21:27 <Noldo> won't it show up as certain vehicles making a huge loss
09:24:28 <planetmaker> But exactly for these social issues I wouldn't recommend sharing defaulting to on.
09:24:34 <planetmaker> Noldo, yes, surely it woll
09:25:11 <petern> you might be able to implement some 'agreement' system to solve the case of charging comptetitors too much
09:25:34 <petern> wouldn't help the cheating though
09:25:59 <planetmaker> hm... you mean like a contract window "offer" and "accept / decline" button for the other partner?
09:26:06 <planetmaker> and counter offer possibly?
09:26:21 <petern> getting more & more complicated...
09:28:22 <planetmaker> well. chat is always possible. Even in trunk :)
09:28:48 <planetmaker> yes... which then speaks against the KISS principle which we would want to apply.
09:28:52 <planetmaker> keep it simple stupid
09:30:44 <planetmaker> hm. What about this "solution": The necessity to acknowledge higher fees. If you don't accept within a certain time frame, your vehicles stop sharing and are sent to depot. If you accept , the usual thing happens.
09:30:52 <planetmaker> Not necessary, of course for lowering fees.
09:31:15 <planetmaker> advantage: quite easy to implement and not too complicated.
09:32:11 <planetmaker> it's a bit an extension on the notification scheme which is already now implemented.
09:33:39 <SmatZ> if someone tries to cheat, it's admin's job to ban him
09:34:02 <TrueBrain> admins are not always around ... hard fact ;)
09:34:02 <SmatZ> trying to catch all possible ways of cheating is endless job
09:34:18 <SmatZ> only making OTTD more complicated both for devs and for players
09:36:39 <Ammler> you can be a "bad" guy also with trunk, no need to use IS.
09:36:42 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
09:38:32 <TrueBrain> join Steam and use their Valve Cheat Protection
09:38:40 <Noldo> griefing other players is one thing but getting free money is completely another
09:38:40 <TrueBrain> sell it, give unique cd keys
09:39:54 <dihedral> better yet - move the to spectators, delete the company, dont let them start a new company for another x minutes :-P
09:40:13 <dihedral> no player cares if you kick them
09:40:22 <Ammler> Noldo: do you know the Station Teleporter?
09:40:33 <dihedral> the best method i have found was to move them to specs and let them watch their company vanish
09:40:52 <petern> SmatZ, what ways of cheating currently exist?
09:41:08 <petern> there's the shares issue, which is turnoff-able
09:41:28 <dihedral> it is in fact mostely disabled on servers
09:41:36 *** [com]buster is now known as Combuster
09:41:36 <dihedral> teleporting is not a cheat
09:41:51 <dihedral> and that can be contained with station spread
09:42:04 <petern> it's not a proper cheat, just antisocial
09:42:25 <petern> oh, and distant join can be considered cheating
09:42:35 <dihedral> building unused stations, as that will up your company rating :-P
09:42:57 <petern> company rating achieves little
09:43:02 <Ammler> oh, yeah feeding your station with itself
09:43:16 <dihedral> petern, of course it only gives you little :-P
09:43:29 <petern> so does feeding your own station
09:43:31 <dihedral> but if the rating only considered serviced stations that would be solved :-P
09:44:29 <dihedral> was that a "go patch"?
09:44:57 <petern> clearly, gaining £10million from two trains in 1 year is a different league of cheating
09:45:15 <dihedral> uh - talking of that
09:45:36 <Booth> one side of teh map to the other
09:45:39 <petern> Booth, you have lack of context
09:45:47 <dihedral> change the setting - long trains - to something that takes a number, which allows you to specify the max length of trains rather than the fixed 9 or 99 tiles
09:46:14 <petern> dihedral seems to, too
09:46:14 * dihedral always has to think of a car booth sale :-P
09:46:26 <Booth> i can make 10 milion a year a train without cheating
09:46:42 <Booth> dih its a car boot sale
09:46:43 <dihedral> petern, you did not mean own trains, did ya
09:47:02 <Booth> lust making sure you knew
09:47:18 <dihedral> i think petern is referring to IS
09:47:30 <dihedral> and you not needing your own trains to gain a hug ass amount of cash
09:47:47 <petern> making a real £10 million a year from trains requires considerable expenditure
09:48:02 <dihedral> aye, not just a few rail tracks here and there
09:50:14 <dihedral> planetmaker, the cost for running on foreign tracks, does that also change with inflation, or is it fix?
09:52:38 <dihedral> everything changes with inflation
09:53:12 <dihedral> + if it were a % of the worth the train is currently transporting + another fixed fee per train, that would make a difference too
09:54:07 <dihedral> of course it then makes a difference for every company and what they earn from sharing tracks, but is less abusable
09:55:06 <dihedral> you dont get to say how much you want for transporting 50 crates of goods from A to B either
09:55:13 <dihedral> you just transport and see what comes out of it
09:56:16 <Booth> i think it would work o trani wieght speed distand and infalation
09:56:31 <Booth> then you can fairly price pax and cargo

09:59:24 <Westie> I can just imagine TTD being like today
09:59:31 <Westie> someone cheating millions of pounds
09:59:36 <Westie> getting losses everywhere
09:59:42 <Westie> and saying that everything is alright
09:59:55 <Westie> that it'll be fine, with the brink of bankruptcy
10:02:04 <Booth> openttd game play will be the next AIG
10:02:36 <Ammler> I don't watch many competive games, but another cheat I saw is people joining another company to remove tiles of a town, because they have low raiting.
10:06:35 <TrueBrain> easy solved by forcing company passwords on join
10:07:45 <Booth> but once joined you can still remove a password
10:07:52 <SmatZ> set remove_unprotected to 1 month...
10:08:16 <TrueBrain> then make that a default setting :p
10:08:21 <Booth> in openttd how would i find the code for bridge spped limits?
10:08:23 <petern> you just create a new company, with no ratings, to remove pieces :p
10:08:30 <Booth> what source file is it in?
10:08:48 <petern> I should be grateful if you would relesse two blocked e-mails
10:10:00 <Booth> are the openttd bridge speed limit in teh c++? if so what file are they in if any one knows
10:11:00 <dihedral> did you LOOK at the files in the source directory?
10:11:07 <dihedral> can you see their file names?
10:11:11 <dihedral> can you read the code?
10:11:18 <SmatZ> Booth: table/bridge_land.h ... unless you are using grfs

10:29:02 <Westie> We're doing nothing anyway
10:30:13 <Ammler> beside of that, not everyone seems to like moderated server, we had shortly a 0.7 server running, as we told someone not to block the industry, he got pissed and left.
10:31:26 <eQualizer> Westie: Irc from work is funnier.
10:31:54 <Forked> one does not irc from work
10:32:05 <Forked> SSH on the other hand..
10:32:20 <Booth> ammler brianetta runs a moderated serve
10:32:32 <Booth> and everyone seems to be ok on the server
10:35:28 <SmatZ> Ammler: "cheaters" don't like moderators :) everyone should be able to choose server he likes, given the number of servers available...

10:55:12 <dihedral> Ammler, close to none?
10:55:51 <Ammler> yeah, maybe sometimes a "Hi"
10:58:35 <Ammler> how hard is it to sort the server without the prefixes "!#..."?
10:59:14 <petern> or filter them out totally
10:59:32 <Ammler> looks like everyone has to add a "!" in his servername.
10:59:33 <petern> unfortunately i don't have access to stuff to boot them off :s
10:59:49 <TrueBrain> maybe that is the reason ;) :p
11:00:36 <petern> if you made the sort alphabetic only, you'd end up with AAAA server :/
11:00:37 <TrueBrain> that said: Ammler: they always find a way to be at the top of the list
11:00:40 <TrueBrain> no matter what you try
11:01:00 <petern> what about server popularity records? hehe
11:01:43 <TrueBrain> the website sorts it on clients-active
11:03:16 <TrueBrain> introduce a 'star-rating' system for servers, with comments from users :p
11:04:40 <Ammler> do you need to join the server to see the settings like 90deb on etc.?
11:05:42 <Ammler> or realistic_acceleration
11:08:16 <Ammler> well, it could be possible, it is a "hidden" feature in the network protocol like company infos and such.
11:08:45 <TrueBrain> ERR_NO_SUCH_INFO ;)
11:09:08 <TrueBrain> but should be easy to add ;)
11:10:39 <Ammler> then you could setup your settings and see if there are server admins with similar thinking. ;-)
11:16:58 <TrueBrain> TT was never really designed for MP ... you can find that back in so many place s:p
11:18:10 <dihedral> Ammler, company info is not a hidden network thing ^^

11:31:57 <SHADOW-XIII> what is it ? a mobile phone ?
11:32:21 <Ammler> SHADOW-XIII: it isn't a portable deskopt
11:32:27 <dihedral> SHADOW-XIII, i dont play games!!!
11:32:34 <dihedral> even if i did - i want something small
11:33:02 <dihedral> if you want to - you can get yourself an 18" and kidd yourself into believing it's a LAPTOP
11:33:10 <SHADOW-XIII> Ammler : my not-portable-desktop is 17"
11:33:26 <dihedral> where in fact, if you placed it on your lap, you'd burn right through your jeans and crush your legs under the weight
11:34:00 <dihedral> i prefer being able to hold it in my hands and type with me thumbs :-P
11:34:02 <SHADOW-XIII> that's a good joke
11:34:26 <SHADOW-XIII> I have a laptop, not an oven
11:34:47 <blathijs> 12" is a proper size for a notebook :-)

11:35:05 <blathijs> dihedral: That's one of the older powerbooks I guess?
11:35:13 <blathijs> Or did they still make the newer macbooks in 12" ?
11:35:55 *** Chruker has joined #openttd

11:36:19 <dihedral> SHADOW-XIII, BURNS ^^
11:36:43 <dihedral> the amd's are HOT ^^
11:37:03 <blathijs> The Turions are not so bad
11:37:39 <dihedral> where is amd at anyway - still 93nm?
11:37:41 <SHADOW-XIII> dihedral I think you mistake cpu with gpu, as far as I remember it's usualy gpu more hot than cpu
11:38:13 <dihedral> you think i am that stupid do you?
11:38:37 <TrueBrain> you want an answer to that?
11:38:38 <SHADOW-XIII> i am in no position to tell if you are or not because I do not know you
11:38:43 <dihedral> for one thing amd processors are a bit behind on the nm scale of things
11:38:45 <TrueBrain> (lol, didn't read the rest, only that line :p)
11:38:51 <dihedral> they are hungry for power
11:39:12 <SHADOW-XIII> am hungry for power, does it make me hot ?
11:39:18 <TrueBrain> SHADOW-XIII: FAR from it
11:39:24 <dihedral> what happens with power most of the time?
11:39:56 <petern> we need a 100% power efficient cpu
11:40:00 <petern> no heatsink required :D
11:40:25 *** Azrael- has joined #openttd
11:40:45 <Yexo> and even if it was get, where would all the used power go? Or do you want a zero-power usage cpu?
11:41:10 <dihedral> 100% of the consumed power
11:41:18 <dihedral> how much the cpu consumes was never mentiond
11:41:21 <TrueBrain> (watched too much Stargate Atlantis ...)
11:41:37 <Yexo> 100% of the consumed power <- what's with that?
11:41:39 <SHADOW-XIII> ZPM wasn't originiated from SG1 ?
11:41:57 <petern> 100% efficiency, not zero energy...
11:42:22 <TrueBrain> means really big wires :p
11:42:28 <blathijs> petern: CPU's are 100% efficient. They turn 100% of the input power into heat...
11:42:30 <Yexo> petern: 100% efficienciy doesn't tell you anything, as the consumed energy wil still be turned to heat
11:42:43 <TrueBrain> blathijs: 100% of the input to heat?! Wow .. that is scary :p
11:43:01 <petern> if 100% of it is heat, then there is 0% for actually running the cpu...
11:43:27 <Yexo> running the cpu = moving electrons -> heat
11:43:30 <blathijs> petern: Exactly! :-)
11:43:40 <dihedral> yexo, if there is 100% efeciancy there is 0% heat :-:
11:43:47 <TrueBrain> Yexo: but not all energy goes into making that heat, I might hope :p
11:43:55 <blathijs> TrueBrain: What else?
11:44:12 <dihedral> blathijs, the coffee mug on top
11:44:19 <Yexo> TrueBrain: I might hope it does, or would you prefer other radiation?
11:44:30 <TrueBrain> Yexo: haha, that for sure :)
11:44:32 <dihedral> hihi - i run head-pipes through my mug
11:45:44 <blathijs> dihedral: That's still heat :-p
11:46:28 <dihedral> yes, but from the coffee to the cpu *cough*
11:46:42 <TrueBrain> I wonder how hot my PSU should be according to that statement Yexo .. ;)
11:49:14 <Yexo> efficiency is cleary computed in a different way for your psu, as it's outgoing / incoming, not used / incoming
11:49:26 *** Singaporekid has joined #openttd
11:49:41 <TrueBrain> so ther eis nothing coming out of a CPU?
11:50:28 <TrueBrain> but ther eis also coming heat out of my PSU
11:50:35 <petern> i'm glad my mobile phone cpu is efficient
11:50:43 <petern> it would look silly with a bit heatsink and fan stuck on it
11:50:48 <TrueBrain> ergo, I am glad it is not a 100% 'efficiency'
11:51:17 <Yexo> <TrueBrain> ergo, I am glad it is not a 100% 'efficiency' <- I don't follow you there, I'd love a psu with100% efficiency
11:51:23 <petern> of course it's suspended most of the time...
11:51:49 <TrueBrain> Yexo, or blathijs (sorry if I mix up the statements, but you two seem to agree :p): if a CPU has 100% efficiency because it turns 100% of the input to heat
11:51:54 <TrueBrain> we have a big problem with PSU
11:52:18 <Yexo> that really depends on how you define efficiency
11:52:30 <TrueBrain> doesn't matter which definition we use :) 100% is a value I hope we never reach
11:52:30 <Yexo> as I said, I don't know how to define it for cpus, for psus it's easy
11:52:33 <TrueBrain> means big big shit :s
11:52:59 <Yexo> but can you give a definition of efficiency for cpus?
11:53:08 <petern> generally in electrical terms, heat is a waste byproduct
11:53:10 <TrueBrain> [13:43] <TrueBrain> Yexo: but not all energy goes into making that heat, I might hope :p
11:53:14 <TrueBrain> [13:44] <Yexo> TrueBrain: I might hope it does <- glad we agree that is wrong ;)
11:53:36 <TrueBrain> nano-tubes have better ratios :)
11:53:42 <Booth> surely the more efficient somethingis the less energy is wasted wether htrough heat loss or power loss
11:54:02 * petern ponders the energy efficiency of an electric heater...
11:54:23 <Booth> erm electric heater are efficeint ?
11:55:13 <Yexo> <TrueBrain> [13:44] <Yexo> TrueBrain: I might hope it does <- glad we agree that is wrong ;) <- no, we don't agree there
11:55:24 <Yexo> I stil haven't seen a definition of 'efficiency' for cpus
11:55:29 <TrueBrain> [13:52] <TrueBrain> doesn't matter which definition we use :) 100% is a value I hope we never reach
11:55:30 <TrueBrain> [13:52] <Yexo> true :)
11:55:31 <Yexo> without that it's impossible to define it
11:55:55 <Yexo> TrueBrain> [13:52] <Yexo> true :) <- maybe that statement was wrong
11:55:58 <petern> my definition for electrical efficiency is amount of input energy wasted as heat
11:56:15 <TrueBrain> sounds as a good definition petern
11:56:37 <Yexo> so what happens to the input energy that is not converted to heat in a cpu?
11:57:29 <TrueBrain> when I put a lightbulb in a socket
11:57:35 <TrueBrain> and I put my finger on the 'nul'
11:57:39 <TrueBrain> would I get a shock?
11:58:06 <TrueBrain> (where the 'phase' is the wire delivering the current to the lightbulb)
11:58:23 <TrueBrain> PLEASE do not try ...
11:58:48 <Yexo> 'nul' is the 'aarde', right?
11:58:59 <Yexo> oh, then I didn't understood you
11:59:20 <TrueBrain> not the yellow/green wire :p
11:59:38 <TrueBrain> (or red in some countries :p)
12:00:44 <TrueBrain> problem a bit with my example is that normal circuits are AC .. but okay :)
12:00:46 <blathijs> Actually, nul is sortof aarde :-)
12:00:50 <blathijs> and aarde is randaarde :-p
12:00:59 <TrueBrain> blathijs: that I assumed Yexo meant, yes ;)
12:01:09 <petern> live, neutral, earth... sheesh
12:01:23 <petern> red, black, yellow/green
12:01:28 <blathijs> But usually, it's safe to touch the nul, because it is more or less 0V :-)
12:01:30 <TrueBrain> petern: that are the english words for it? :)
12:01:30 <petern> except they changed it cos they're cocks
12:01:37 <petern> so brown, blue, yellow/green
12:01:57 *** maristo has joined #openttd
12:02:06 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
12:02:53 <Booth> efficience is defiend by the amout on energy user to something useful and the amount of energy lost
12:03:09 <Booth> for example in a lightbulb you want it to create light
12:03:16 <Booth> but a byproduct is heat
12:03:59 <Booth> the cpu is not a heater so more energy used as heat the less efficient the cpu ix
12:04:30 <Yexo> Booth: then maybe you can explain where the energy that is not turned into heat goes to?
12:04:39 <TrueBrain> Yexo: you really can't see that? :)
12:04:44 <planetmaker> TrueBrain, I wouldn't count on the colour of the cables, though.
12:04:48 <TrueBrain> Yexo: what if the CPU would only produce heat? What would it do?
12:04:54 <TrueBrain> planetmaker: no! I have seen that in this building :(
12:04:55 <planetmaker> I've seen it wired wrongly...
12:05:01 <TrueBrain> Yexo: the CPU does something, not?
12:05:09 <TrueBrain> I mean .. it has to .. what else use has it?
12:05:13 <TrueBrain> well .. define what a CPU does?
12:05:34 <Yexo> moving electrons around?
12:05:40 <TrueBrain> and what use would that do? :)
12:05:44 <planetmaker> it switches memory banks
12:05:50 <TrueBrain> what do CPUs have? Tons and tons of it?
12:06:02 <planetmaker> transistors. e.g. switches
12:06:09 <TrueBrain> planetmaker: let Yexo do the thinking :p
12:06:35 <TrueBrain> Yexo: okay, I won't joke around: there are tons and tons and tons of transistors and other thingies in a CPU
12:06:39 <TrueBrain> doing the 'calculations' and shit
12:07:00 <TrueBrain> I am trying to find a nice picture for 5 minutes now, but I fail to find one which shows wha tI mean in a clear way
12:07:39 <Booth> basicly they are very very fast binary counters
12:07:54 <Booth> each switch has 2 states
12:07:58 <TrueBrain> either way ... those need energy
12:07:58 <blathijs> TrueBrain: The point is that switching transistors doesn't "use" energy, it can't make energy disappear
12:08:02 <TrueBrain> which is not turned into heat :)
12:08:13 <Yexo> then what is it turned into?
12:08:17 *** [com]buster is now known as Combuster
12:08:19 <TrueBrain> it used to be movement
12:08:27 <TrueBrain> but nowedays we use a bit more sophisticated transistors :)
12:08:32 <blathijs> TrueBrain: It's useful that they transistors do switching, but all the energy used for switching will become heat
12:08:34 <TrueBrain> the old ones were more clear how they work :p
12:08:36 <Yexo> then indirectly that movement is converted to heat
12:08:51 <blathijs> TrueBrain: When you slow something down, you generate heat again :-)
12:09:06 <blathijs> TrueBrain: And the transistors don't keep moving (they would end up outside of the processor then :-p)
12:09:08 <planetmaker> finally all power consumed by a CPU should go into heat :)
12:09:27 <blathijs> Really, a CPU is just a very expensive space heater
12:09:29 <Yexo> blathijs does at far better job at explaining, but that was my general thought
12:10:05 <TrueBrain> blathijs: that is very true :) Just I really really hope they do not put 100% of the energy to heat :p That would really be ... useless :)
12:10:19 <planetmaker> TrueBrain, but they eventually do...
12:10:25 <SHADOW-XIII> what grf files i need to get snow in temperate climate ?
12:10:36 <Yexo> SHADOW-XIII: alphine climate
12:10:43 <planetmaker> SHADOW-XIII, alpine climate. Which is a mod on arctic climate
12:10:48 <TrueBrain> planetmaker: well, I guess you are right there, in the end, energy is always converted to heat
12:11:05 <TrueBrain> but I hope not by the CPU ... that was all I was trying to say here ;)
12:11:18 <TrueBrain> (and for sure not in terms of efficiency :))
12:11:20 <planetmaker> well... but where else should the power consumed by a cpu go, TrueBrain ?
12:11:21 <blathijs> TrueBrain: The point is that an "efficient" CPU just uses less energy to do its calculations. But it will still turn 100% of all the energy it uses into heat.
12:11:37 <TrueBrain> planetmaker: side-components for one
12:11:48 <TrueBrain> but that is a bit cheezy, I guess :)
12:11:48 <planetmaker> TrueBrain, what "side componenents"?
12:11:48 <blathijs> TrueBrain: However, not all energy consumed by a _system_ ends up in the CPU, no
12:11:58 <TrueBrain> planetmaker: memory, south-bridge, north-bridge, ...
12:12:11 <planetmaker> TrueBrain, they have their own resistors and power consumption
12:12:21 <TrueBrain> planetmaker: but they get power from the CPU :)
12:12:23 *** SHADOW-XIII has joined #openttd
12:12:24 <blathijs> memory and bridges are again very nice space heaters :-p
12:12:25 <TrueBrain> well .. pwoer .. data
12:12:27 <TrueBrain> which is current :p
12:12:30 <TrueBrain> but as I said, cheezy :)
12:12:43 <blathijs> TrueBrain: Actually, the goal is to let data be voltage, not current
12:12:53 <TrueBrain> blathijs: fair enough :)
12:13:02 <TrueBrain> (although one can not live without the other)
12:13:10 <planetmaker> uhm... they have their own power supply basically, no? And if it's only by a voltage by-pass.
12:13:22 <SHADOW-XIII> there is in ottdc tempsnow.grf is is the same as apline ?
12:13:25 <blathijs> TrueBrain: But yeah, there will probably some energy leaking through data lines, but that will probably balance out both ways
12:13:37 <TrueBrain> blathijs: maybe better to say they both have a B and E field
12:13:42 <planetmaker> SHADOW-XIII, no... but I don't know :)

12:14:28 <planetmaker> TrueBrain, uh... that's not making things easier, if you want to throw fields on it ;)
12:14:41 <TrueBrain> voltage and current are such tricky words
12:14:56 <planetmaker> you can say much. I may disagree :)
12:15:14 <planetmaker> fields is just a fuzzy word :)
12:15:43 <SHADOW-XIII> strange thing in scenario editor, when I hold mouse on minimap icons, the last option is "World Population: 187" ... but 187 randomly changes to 704.918, while total population is 720.338 ... odd O_o
12:16:28 <TrueBrain> but okay, I guess Yexo is right about his request: define efficiency. I doubt you can define efficiency for a CPU with the total heat leaving the CPU. I think the only sane thing to do is how much energy is used to make it operational, and how much energy is lost during this making operational part ;)
12:16:43 <planetmaker> I think voltage and current define electronics better than a field approach :)
12:17:03 <TrueBrain> as in a total scheme, energy always comes and goes to heat
12:17:05 <planetmaker> TrueBrain, yes. Like energy / Gflop or so.
12:17:18 <Yexo> cpu efficiency is usually defined as total computation / energy used, but that doesn't say anything about heat (for a good reason)
12:17:29 <petern> yeah, the light in my house really heats it up :s
12:17:46 <TrueBrain> (even if that includes the bigbang, which you will need for certain operations :p)
12:17:54 <SHADOW-XIII> oh I know what we need in OTTD! in scenario editor a button to regenerate all industries so in case of putting ECS I hit one button and all old industr disappear and it puts new industry randmly on the map !
12:18:18 <Yexo> just a button to remove all industries should be enough for that
12:18:28 <Yexo> but changing newgrfs is not supported, not even in the scenario editor
12:20:04 <SHADOW-XIII> Yexo : but if I change it will mess existing ones
12:20:15 <SHADOW-XIII> but if I remove all existing then should be fine
12:20:54 <Yexo> SHADOW-XIII: that's why I said changing newgrfs is not supported, you can do so at your own risk, but you should expect problems
12:22:02 <Yexo> having said that, changing/adding industry newgrfs generally works fine, as long as you remove the old industries
12:22:59 <TrueBrain> blathijs: btw, one thing: CPUs leak current; but that is just an inefficient thingy :p
12:23:47 <TrueBrain> (in reply to the 0V over neutral .. doesn't hold for CPUs :p)
12:24:08 <blathijs> TrueBrain: Yeah, some amount of power is dissipated in wires
12:24:19 <blathijs> though the most part of that are wires inside the CPU :-)
12:24:55 <TrueBrain> and, some is even converted to static eletricity :p But that is a whole other subject ... ;)
12:24:59 <SHADOW-XIII> i think I know what Yexo meant .... ottd crash
12:25:59 <TrueBrain> I find google less and less useful to find things you are looking for :s
12:26:52 <SHADOW-XIII> stupid, i cannot demolish in scenario editor while in pause mode
12:27:52 <Yexo> there was a bit discussion about that lately, the current way (no command in paused mode in scenario editor) was concluded to be the most consistent with the rest of the game
12:31:06 <SHADOW-XIII> that's intresting, GRF files are in different order after loading a scenarion than before saving
12:50:40 <SHADOW-XIII> whoa, Piracy Polical Party in Sweden just become 3rd largest in Sweden
12:51:48 <SHADOW-XIII> the pirate bay case made it quite popular
12:52:27 <SHADOW-XIII> omg ! you can easly win Mitshubishi car!
12:53:21 <SHADOW-XIII> in spain though ... you win the car by .... (that's the best) ... downloading it through p2p websites :D
12:54:25 <TrueBrain> downloading a car via p2p?
12:54:52 <SHADOW-XIII> yes, they put "car parts" (files) in p2p networks
12:55:01 <SHADOW-XIII> you assembley it via widget on that website
12:55:17 <SHADOW-XIII> once you fine 30 (all) parts and assembly car - you win - it's yours

13:14:10 <TrueBrain> this isn't even a file in /var/log

13:43:45 <dihedral> nice to see you sir ;-)
13:43:46 <TrueBrain> Belugas: now you scare me
13:43:50 * dihedral pets Belugas on the head
13:44:44 <Milloflex> there should really be an idle time for all connected clients
13:44:51 <Milloflex> shouldn't be hard to implement either
13:45:02 <TrueBrain> so ... what is stopping you? :)
13:45:20 <TrueBrain> no, the ghost behind you
13:45:48 <Milloflex> thought you maybe spoke to someone else before I joined. got disconnected.
13:46:26 <Belugas> hey, TrueBrain, someone told me yesterday that you are an owl!
13:46:27 <Milloflex> fjb: i was talking bout openttd :p
13:46:40 <TrueBrain> Belugas: who did and why?
13:47:01 <Belugas> you're supposed to answer "who" only
13:47:19 <Belugas> d say: see? He was right
13:47:38 <TrueBrain> that would have been funny :p
13:48:30 <TrueBrain> sorry, Belugas, you want to try that again? :)
13:48:50 * petern 'accidentally' plays with synths, at work
13:49:08 <Belugas> "Hey TrueBrain, somebody told me yesterday that you are an owl"
13:51:28 <dihedral> Milloflex, what you want to do? kick, move to specs?
13:51:38 <dihedral> what do you consider 'idel'
13:51:47 <Milloflex> build idle would be easiest i think?
13:52:10 <Milloflex> when a client builds something / or company, it resets the idle to zero
13:52:11 <dihedral> and again, what do you consider idle
13:52:28 <dihedral> can i not quite validly watch my company?
13:52:28 <Milloflex> no i cant do it cause i'm not a coder ;- )
13:52:48 <dihedral> then why do you say 'easy to implement' or 'should be easiest' if you have no clue?
13:52:51 <TrueBrain> but .. you said it wasn't hard to implement ...
13:52:54 <Milloflex> yes of course you can. but good to see which company or client is active/idle
13:52:55 <TrueBrain> how would you know if you are not a coder?
13:52:58 <TrueBrain> giving bad information :'(
13:53:12 <Belugas> petern, accidently ??
13:53:21 <Milloflex> ok, let me refrase. i'm not a c#/c++ coder.
13:53:33 <dihedral> so you can learn and do it ^^
13:53:45 <TrueBrain> so without knowing the code ... you know that it is easy to implement .. still an amazing gift!
13:53:48 <TrueBrain> you should use it more often :)
13:54:02 <dihedral> perhaps you can help obama
13:54:06 <Milloflex> that's why i'm here for TrueBrain ;-)
13:54:17 <Milloflex> but really, would it be hard to implement?
13:54:27 <Milloflex> if not a client idle, then a company idle
13:54:28 <dihedral> it's tricky to define idle
13:54:37 <TrueBrain> most likely it will be relative simple if you got the 'idle' part defined well :)
13:54:53 <Belugas> petern, yesterday, i got at one of my colleague's house. he is quite equipped with guitar gear. including a synth guit. only i can say is : WOOOOOAAAAWWWW!!!!!!
13:54:54 <Milloflex> when someone builds soething that is assciated with the company/client the idle is reset. build idle.
13:55:07 <dihedral> yes we know that much
13:55:10 <TrueBrain> so if I monitor my network for N time, I am idle?!
13:55:12 <dihedral> but when is idle set?
13:55:50 <Belugas> i MIGHT be ending up buying that part
13:56:03 <TrueBrain> Belugas: buy one for me too, would you? :)
13:56:43 <dihedral> Milloflex, if you have a coding background, you can grab the source and see what you can do :-)
13:56:55 <Milloflex> dihedral: as soon you join of course
13:57:13 * petern is pretty tempted to set up one of his spare bedrooms as a music room
13:57:24 <Milloflex> i just dont know if build actions is associated with a company or a specific client
13:57:28 <Belugas> of course, TrueBrain, i will. But you'll have to come and pick it up ;) fragile stuff...\
13:57:30 <dihedral> Milloflex, you silly!! what we want to know is when is someone idle enough to kick
13:57:34 <TrueBrain> Belugas: will do ;)
13:57:51 <Milloflex> didn't say anything about a kick
13:57:57 <Milloflex> just want to know who is active in the game
13:58:06 <dihedral> active is a relative thing
13:58:12 <petern> wish i had a room the size of this office :s
13:58:16 <Milloflex> want to see the idle "counter" next to the company/username
13:58:19 <dihedral> scrolling around the map is active, yet not shown on the server
13:58:24 <planetmaker> just scrolling around on my screen, looking for tasks. Is it idle?
13:58:24 *** Klanticus has joined #openttd
13:58:44 <Milloflex> dihedral: of course. but i want to see who is actually doing something on the map.
13:58:51 <dihedral> sitting at work, looking at my screen - not coding anything - i am too idle and will be fired :-D
13:59:09 <Milloflex> yes it is the typ of idle i'm talking bout planetmaker.
13:59:17 <dihedral> Milloflex, and now, for what reason?
13:59:23 <planetmaker> is setting up a sign "doing something"?
13:59:40 <Milloflex> heh, to see who is actually playing "right now", dihedral
13:59:45 <dihedral> planetmaker, or editing the sign
14:00:11 <Milloflex> tell me you are joking
14:00:23 <dihedral> funny - he read my mind :-P
14:00:37 <TrueBrain> Milloflex: what we try to say, is that it is very hard to say when someone is idl
14:00:45 <dihedral> Milloflex, would 'idle' not be missleaading to others then?
14:00:46 <TrueBrain> and that it will result in more complains than it would do any good
14:01:19 <Milloflex> no its not. as soon as someone does preform an action that is sent to the server associated with the company or client, the "idle" is reset
14:01:34 <TrueBrain> so when I just monitor my network, I am idle?
14:01:35 <dihedral> how to go from a to z, truebrain says z where everybody else is trying to go via b, c, d, e, f, ....
14:01:37 <TrueBrain> sounds like a horrible idea
14:01:53 <Milloflex> yes .. but it's not a bout any kick feature nor antything
14:01:56 *** lewymati has joined #openttd
14:02:03 <TrueBrain> so you join a network
14:02:05 <TrueBrain> watch the client list
14:02:06 <Milloflex> you should only see the idle time for each user
14:02:09 <TrueBrain> see 5 of the 6 people being 'idle'
14:02:13 <TrueBrain> and think: what a sucky server
14:02:18 <TrueBrain> while that might be completely wrong
14:02:22 <dihedral> Milloflex, so, how often you wanna update that counter?
14:02:55 *** Patrick has joined #openttd
14:03:03 <Milloflex> well at least every 1-10 seconds
14:03:46 <dihedral> i dont know that mesurement :-P
14:04:01 <TrueBrain> I think Milloflex doesn't _want_ to see the problem here :)
14:04:30 <dihedral> he's no coder, but he is :-P
14:04:36 <dihedral> and he 'knows' stuff ^^
14:04:38 <Milloflex> i dont think you see the "feature" and the usage of it
14:04:53 <TrueBrain> Milloflex: I only see bug reports and complaints :)
14:05:05 <dihedral> we see no way to decently implement what we understand under 'idle'
14:05:23 <TrueBrain> but if you manage to find a way to define the idle part better, it might work
14:05:32 <TrueBrain> just 'commands send to the server' would not be enough
14:05:45 <TrueBrain> do you read anything we say? :)
14:05:56 <Milloflex> every last word of it
14:05:58 <dihedral> because i can scroll the map and that makes me 'not idle' but the server would not know of that
14:05:59 <TrueBrain> you can, for example, give an indication of building. Like: did N building actions in the last 5 minutes
14:06:05 <TrueBrain> that is a fair way of messuring
14:06:39 <dihedral> uh - game is paused - nobody is idle
14:07:29 <dihedral> feel free to let every client notify the server of scrolling action :-P
14:07:48 <Milloflex> well if that's your agument then you really dont understand the usage :p
14:08:26 <TrueBrain> so tell, what would the usage be? :)
14:08:37 <Milloflex> would more like to see the activity (or lack of it) of a company/client
14:08:46 <Milloflex> like you said TrueBrain
14:08:50 <TrueBrain> I have a real problem with that word 'activity'
14:09:02 <TrueBrain> monitoring a (train)network is activity :)
14:09:27 <dihedral> that is limited activity
14:10:46 <dihedral> Milloflex, do you understand if we say it's too vague?
14:11:11 <dihedral> but - you might like bb2
14:11:21 <dihedral> it's a 'big brother' patch :-P
14:11:23 <Belugas> i prefer bbq, personanly
14:12:21 <dihedral> the big brother patch allows 'watching' build actions from other clients :-D

20:40:59 <Belugas> i log in my logs that logging all day long is ...
20:45:21 <Xaroth> do like i do, have an ubuntu VM active, one workspace for .. 'work'.. second for freeciv ...
20:45:38 <Xaroth> then just have a game of AI only, and watch the show
20:45:50 <TrueBrain> the newest freeciv sucks
20:46:00 <TrueBrain> I don't understand the GUI ..
20:46:04 <TrueBrain> it no longer is ... logic
20:46:07 <Xaroth> that's why i let the AI play
20:47:16 <TrueBrain> the next step in my 16bit -> C thingy is going to hurt ....
20:47:19 <TrueBrain> requires ... time ...
20:47:31 <TrueBrain> (validation of my results :p)

21:09:43 <NightKhaos> Okay so I have been mastering PBS... and I'm wonder what would be the optium value to put pf.yapf.rail_pbs_signal_back_penalty at in order to allow passing on bidirectional track when there is a fast train stuck behind a slow one. I am almost tempted to set this to 0, but that may cause the YAPF to give some really bogus routes (i.e. traveling on the wrong side of the track is = traveling on the right side of the tra
21:09:46 <NightKhaos> ck for trains in terms of penalties)
21:12:23 <NightKhaos> Any ideas... maybe this is one thing I need to experiment with rather than ask eh?

21:30:36 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: yexo * r16252 /trunk/ (5 files in 2 dirs): -Add [NoAI]: AIAirport::GetPrice, returning the building cost of an airport
21:32:10 <NightKhaos> Okay.... that is odd... 0 has exactly the behaviour I wanted and not the behaviour I expected it... by the looks of it YAPF looks for the next signal as the target... so it won't just "glide along the wrong path" as I thought might happen.
21:32:53 <NightKhaos> the funny thing is that the fast and the slow train can have an "arguement" over who is meant to be the fastest!
21:33:50 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: yexo * r16253 /trunk/src/ai/api/ (ai_controller.cpp ai_controller.hpp ai_controller.hpp.sq): -Add [NoAI]: AIController::GetVersion, this returns the newgrf-version of OpenTTD
21:34:41 <NightKhaos> ah damnit... I just saw a train reserve an entire 4 signals worth.
21:39:11 *** Yoshimi has joined #openttd
21:46:52 <NightKhaos> Now I found out something even more interesting, the ICE train, supposed to be capable of 92 m/s tops out at 83 m/s
21:47:29 <NightKhaos> it seems depedent on the number of carriages.
21:54:49 <NightKhaos> okay so I decided to do performance tests on the high speed trains for some reason, we have the three different TGVs vs an ICE and an HSA,
22:01:51 <NightKhaos> And we have results... anyone wanna see?
22:02:01 *** DephNet[Paul] has joined #openttd
22:02:06 <NightKhaos> (assuming someone is alive to want to see)
22:03:25 <Zantor> nightkhaos, are you testing these trains in OpenTTD?
22:14:37 <Xaroth> I take it there -is- some kind of failsafe against 'rogue' clients sending rcon packets without being joined in the game, right?.. been looking around in the source but found nothing much so far
22:15:22 <planetmaker> Xaroth: a clientlist is maintained.
22:15:37 <planetmaker> and the clientID is transmitted.
22:15:46 <planetmaker> afaik. I might err, though
22:16:00 <Xaroth> heh, that's why i asked
22:16:05 <Xaroth> i see things with the clientID
22:16:10 <Xaroth> but I don't see any validation
22:16:35 <Xaroth> which, technically, means you can send rcon commands without being actually ingame
22:16:46 <Xaroth> which, well, would be useful for some
22:17:41 <Muxy> if a client is not ingame, then where is he ?
22:18:10 <Xaroth> well, it'd basically be an udp packet being transmitted to the server
22:18:29 <Muxy> there is something i use sometime
22:18:54 <Muxy> you can be connected and you have not requested the map
22:19:04 <Xaroth> it could be well useful for outside connections to be able to do rcon .. but there might be a bit of a safety issue
22:19:16 <Muxy> then rcon packet are transmitted and replied if password is ok
22:19:55 <Xaroth> yeh, there's a difference between being connected and waiting for the map.. and being a total outside connection :P
22:20:17 <Muxy> i'm not sure rcon is handled in the udp system
22:20:38 <Zantor> do you remember when hoax and I were exchanging comments and screenshots of the map he made yesterday?
22:20:44 <Xaroth> network_server.cpp @ DEF_SERVER_RECEIVE_COMMAND(PACKET_CLIENT_RCON)
22:21:04 <Muxy> that for the tcp system, not udp
22:21:32 <Rubidium> but then the question is "what is yesterday"
22:22:29 <Zantor> oi vey; I keep forgetting day and night are relative on the Internet
22:22:52 <Zantor> about 11 PM GMT-6 May 6, '09
22:23:50 <Rubidium> Zantor: very unlikely then (unless you're a full day and a bit off)
22:24:45 <Zantor> give or take a couple hours
22:25:04 <Zantor> somebody was around part of the time. either you or xaroth
22:25:13 <Zantor> booth in #openttdcoop was fussing at me earlier about distribution rights
22:25:27 <Zantor> which I had no idea you OpenTTDers are picky about
22:25:56 <Booth> but didnt want anyone to be upset
22:26:06 <Muxy> Udp packet are received in the udp.ccp and handled in void NetworkUDPSocketHandler::HandleUDPPacket
22:26:18 <Zantor> I apologize for the misunderstanding, booth
22:26:27 *** Combuster has joined #openttd
22:26:39 <Zantor> text can be easy to misconstrue or misunderstand
22:26:43 <Xaroth> Zantor: don't look at me
22:26:44 <Booth> i should have made myself clearer
22:26:47 <Xaroth> I was working on AutoTTD last night
22:26:58 <Zantor> Xaroth, do you keep chat logs?
22:27:11 <Zantor> do you stay connected 24/7?
22:27:15 <Zantor> mibbit won't let me save logs
22:27:32 <Zantor> so I don't, but I did when I used Trillian
22:27:48 <Xaroth> last night, ~ midnight
22:27:48 <Zantor> so Xaroth, do you stay connected 24/7?
22:27:56 <Rubidium> Zantor: it wasn't me and I'm quite sure about it 'cause I wasn't in THIS channel yesterday (or rather: I wasn't here for more than a week) and came back about 8 hours ago
22:28:08 <Xaroth> and it was csokisnyuszi
22:28:15 <Zantor> he changed his nick to hoax
22:28:22 <Xaroth> I only gave pointers for the junctionary
22:28:26 <Xaroth> then i went back to AutoTTD
22:28:41 <Zantor> as booth said, he wanted a copy but idk about distro rights and stuff
22:29:04 <Zantor> I haven't known maps to be so controlled in a community
22:29:18 <Xaroth> if he pasted in public it's public domain, if he sent it to you privately, it's a different issue
22:29:27 <Zantor> he did not send to me privately
22:29:41 <Zantor> he posted the link in the public channel, right here
22:30:05 <Booth> you could send it to me
22:30:18 <Rubidium> what are 'distro issues'?
22:30:39 <Zantor> booth asked me in #openttdcoop if I had distro rights
22:30:48 <Booth> giving out other peoples thing that dont belong to you
22:31:38 <Zantor> but being in a community of modders that are open about handing out their complete works had me confused
22:31:38 <Rubidium> that all depends on the license
22:31:54 <Zantor> in regards to the map I was referring to
22:32:11 <Zantor> the download link was put in the channel publicly and he offered for people to try it out
22:32:28 <Xaroth> Rubidium: no license given and distributed to public.
22:32:46 <Zantor> I downloaded it and after putting it in the appropriate folder I started it up and began playing around
22:33:32 <Zantor> since there doesn't seem to be any distribution rights/privileges issues, I will upload it for booth to download
22:35:05 <Zantor> original file name was tycoon_1960.scn
22:36:16 <Zantor> you can make loads on it
22:36:28 <Zantor> and make gargantuan trains
