00:25:12 <Belugas> sqrt? doesn't that returns afloat or a double?
00:26:01 <Belugas> granted, mapgen does not operates under the networking laws of no-desynch-good-behaviours
00:38:49 <Yexo> a float, since it's squirrel
00:39:01 <Eddi|zuHause> it's pretty straight forward to create an integer-sqrt
00:41:35 <Eddi|zuHause> while(value of x changed) { x = (x+a/x)/2; } IIRC
00:41:48 <Eddi|zuHause> where a is the number you want to get the root of
00:44:48 <Eddi|zuHause> (this is called "heron's method" or "babylonin method", it's a special case of a newton iteration)
00:57:22 <Belugas> glad to meet you, Herr Professor ;)
00:57:36 <Belugas> and no, i'm not sarcastic
00:57:42 <Belugas> and yes, it's interesting
00:57:56 <Belugas> and yes i'm still in that dreadful place called office
00:59:45 <Eddi|zuHause> at 9 in the evening, on friday?
01:04:59 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
01:09:58 <Belugas> a man's got to do what his boss asks
01:10:17 <Belugas> a boss who is still working, too...
01:10:22 <Belugas> so it eases a bit the pain

10:51:30 <Xaroth> frosch123: people actually still play with disasters on?
10:52:59 <frosch123> I guess a lot play with non-custom difficulty settings
10:54:11 <frosch123> hmm, though not in this case :)
10:54:31 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
10:55:09 <capleton> Little Red Diesel, mmmm awesome track ;)
10:56:01 <dragonhorseboy> frosch you want know what I often play with re difficulity settings?
10:56:09 <dragonhorseboy> capleton..is that in a grf?
10:57:08 <frosch123> no breakdowns, no disasters, reversing everywhere, ...
10:59:35 <dragonhorseboy> frosch heh for me I always have it set to custom all times for a few obvious reasons
11:01:37 <dragonhorseboy> ai: 0, start 3 months, low skill .. breakdown reduced, medium construction&running cost, hilly and low water landscape, reverse at stations, disaster on, 4x subsidary, varying loan max but usually 3% charged
11:02:25 *** Ridayah has joined #openttd
11:02:43 <frosch123> so you belong to those with "disasters on" :)
11:03:08 <dragonhorseboy> frosch...whats wrong with having to be mindful of coal mines?
11:08:14 *** Dred_furst has joined #openttd
11:10:24 <dragonhorseboy> hm is there a limit to how close towns can be to each others?
11:10:42 <frosch123> scenario editor will tell you
11:10:52 <dragonhorseboy> that figured, thanks
11:15:27 <dragonhorseboy> now only if towns could stop trying to build their own roads rather than the grids I laid out... ***** it :P
11:16:52 <frosch123> you can :p go to advanced settings
11:17:12 <frosch123> "town build no roads" or so
11:19:18 <dragonhorseboy> hmm actually just thought of it...having twisty roads would make it more interesting for tram companies..
11:21:07 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
11:33:00 <dragonhorseboy> a map only for trams&rvs alone .. that should be fun
11:39:26 <capleton> dragonhorseboy: nah, it's the TTD OST :)
11:40:40 <capleton> looks like a smiley face :P
11:41:43 <dragonhorseboy> hmm i threw in quite many tunnels into the map too .. should be challenging for the players to find these shortcuts for themself
11:43:12 <capleton> am i the only one that almost exclusively build railroads only?
11:43:47 <dragonhorseboy> seem so..you still can more or less build rails .. just only for trams ;)
11:43:48 <capleton> i never build vehicles anymore, not enough profit, too many breakdowns
11:43:59 <dragonhorseboy> and btw is there a fixed limit for how far town has to be from edge of map?
11:44:19 <capleton> yeah well, i build all sorts of tracks for trains, maglev, monorail and the standard
11:44:37 <capleton> dragonhorseboy: not that i know of
11:46:37 <dragonhorseboy> hm because it seem to not want to let me put a town on a island not too far from edge..looks to be about 15 tiles :S
11:47:03 <dragonhorseboy> guess I could let passenger ships play on this map as well heh
11:47:21 <capleton> you're building a scenario?
11:47:34 <CIA-3> OpenTTD: rubidium * r16524 /trunk/src/ai/api/ (ai_tile.cpp ai_tile.hpp ai_tilelist.cpp ai_tilelist.hpp): -Fix [FS#2963]: missing guards in the NoAI API making it possible to hit an assert in OpenTTD.
11:47:34 <capleton> i need to download some scenarios, if i can find any..
11:48:17 <dragonhorseboy> capleton...yeah .. one thats geared only toward road/tram/water due to almost no grass left anywhere :)
11:48:24 <Rubidium> start openttd (0.7+), click on 'play scenario', click on 'check online content', wait a bit et voila
11:48:28 <dragonhorseboy> (although you could build helidepots too I guess)
11:54:50 *** [1]KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
11:54:50 *** KenjiE20 is now known as Guest825
11:54:50 *** [1]KenjiE20 is now known as KenjiE20
11:54:58 <dragonhorseboy> yeah if you can find the flat areas there's space for small airports or helidepots but I can't think any players would want to use these considering the low capacity compared to land vehicles :p
11:55:42 <SirSquidness> dragonhorseboy: you get better speed with air stuff
11:55:45 <SirSquidness> fatser = more money
11:56:06 <SirSquidness> so it's a trade off between speed and capacity.
11:56:22 <dragonhorseboy> you ever tried to land more than one airplane at a time in less than 200 tiles of travelling?
11:56:30 <dragonhorseboy> its almost impossible to handle it with small airports
11:57:17 <dragonhorseboy> hmm maybe on second thought I should add some light industries to this map just to throw players off... :)
11:58:00 *** Biolunar has joined #openttd
11:58:25 <SirSquidness> I wouldn't call adding more ways to make money throwing players off
11:58:50 <dragonhorseboy> well here'll be the problem: it'll be located in middle of cities so :)
12:00:01 <SirSquidness> bulldoze a single square, put down a lorry station to take the goods out of the city, train it to the next spot
12:00:20 <SirSquidness> in fact, don't even need to bulldoze a quare, just use the in-road station
12:06:34 *** Hirundo has joined #openttd
12:06:44 * dragonhorseboy wishes there was a stupid way to override the refusals the editor is giving me
12:11:55 <dragonhorseboy> hmm what about adding banks sirsquid? (no diamond mines here)
12:12:32 <SirSquidness> banks work - they'd have to go from centre of town to the centre of another
12:12:40 <SirSquidness> making it that extra bit more annoying to do
12:12:49 <SirSquidness> which climate are you doing?
12:13:53 <dragonhorseboy> temperate and the towns are already connected to each others by their own buildings literally (yeah I've got the towns placed only 20-30 tiles apart and most of the space inbetween are filled)
12:14:07 *** Frostregen has joined #openttd
12:14:13 <SirSquidness> ah, right, so trains etc aren't an option anyway
12:14:32 <SirSquidness> well, abnks in temperate produce and recieve diamonds
12:14:39 <SirSquidness> so you're still going to have an industry option there
12:14:44 <dragonhorseboy> you could build short rapid rails in a few places tho as far as I can tell
12:14:52 <SirSquidness> not much point though
12:15:14 <dragonhorseboy> true but still some grfs have suitable trains for these kind of things
12:15:32 <SirSquidness> I rarely play anything other than vanilla
12:15:34 <dragonhorseboy> dbsetxl emu, the Metro grf as part of 2cc, etc .. its really up to the players themself tho :)
12:15:50 <SirSquidness> just plain OpenTTD
12:17:26 <dragonhorseboy> ok several banks, one oil-refinery-goods, one coal-powerplant, one farm-factory-goods, and just a HEAPload of passengers&mail
12:17:45 <dragonhorseboy> would be funny to dump the two goods close by because there's enough goods demand but...
12:17:52 <dragonhorseboy> problem number one: getting the raw IN :)
12:24:17 <dragonhorseboy> hmm sirsquid...how about a sealevel tunnel under the major of the cities to get from one end to other end? :P
12:24:35 <dragonhorseboy> player would had to be careful to not mix slow and superfast vehicles in these busy tunnels tho
12:26:58 <SirSquidness> how big is the map?
12:27:59 <dragonhorseboy> I set it as 128x64 for now .. just didn't want to spend too much of the morning creating it for now .. I might try make a massive version another day ;)
12:28:18 <SirSquidness> yeah, I vote tunnel then
12:29:04 <dragonhorseboy> if you didn't see me mentioning that before..there's also many normal tunnels spread through some of the hilly cities .. have to look close to find these shortcuts :D
12:31:07 <dragonhorseboy> hmmm sirsquid...for a boat-deliverable coal mine ... shall I set it to very high tonnes? I mean you can put ten boats at the same dock just like that no?
12:32:48 *** TheMask96 has joined #openttd
12:34:31 <SirSquidness> ah, yes, I do remember you mentioning those other tunnels
12:35:12 <SirSquidness> why make it a high production mine when you can make players have to work for their money? :P
12:35:46 <dragonhorseboy> 240 tonnes then?
12:36:30 <dragonhorseboy> the one oil well's set for 48,000 litres which should be enough to want to build some tanker trucks to get to that
12:36:58 <dragonhorseboy> farm = 80 tonnes of grain, 40 items of livestock (seem allright for the size given to farm land)
12:37:20 <dragonhorseboy> banks .. well .. I'll leave all of them at their default 48 bags
12:39:04 *** Hirundo has joined #openttd
12:39:38 <dragonhorseboy> heh filled all green land left over with random trees now :D
12:39:44 <dragonhorseboy> almost done :)
12:41:15 <dragonhorseboy> you'll need two grfs to load this scenario map with tho me think
12:42:21 <dragonhorseboy> czech roadset 1 (from tycoonez.com and I'm having some issue getting the 2.0 one to load at all so just still using 1 myself yet) and ttrs2 (no idea if scenario editor respected this but parameters are set to 2 1 0 0)
12:42:45 <dragonhorseboy> otherwise pick whatever stations and vehicles you want to use :)
12:54:44 <dragonhorseboy> hm...tried map and I wonder whats wrong.. tramtrkw.grf is loaded in grf list but I can't get the tram construction toolbar :|
12:57:41 <dragonhorseboy> anyone here actually used tramtrkw.grf with ottd?
12:59:47 <glx> I guess there are not tram vehicle in this grf
13:00:13 <glx> btw tracks are included in openttd
13:01:09 <dragonhorseboy> there IS trams in the buy list
13:01:12 <dragonhorseboy> thats the weird part
13:02:02 <glx> you added the grf in a running game?
13:02:21 <Eddi|zuHause> it's not weird... it just means you have no clue about what you are doing ;)
13:02:34 <dragonhorseboy> started game with grf loaded
13:03:12 <Eddi|zuHause> dragonhorseboy: the game is running once you create the scenario. not once you start playing a scenario
13:03:35 <dragonhorseboy> guess maybe these Modern Trams aren't ottd-tested yet
13:03:59 <dragonhorseboy> eddi..I can load the german tram grf just fine (but its only old slow small trams..not of the kind I was looking for)
13:04:20 <Eddi|zuHause> dragonhorseboy: no, i said germanrv set
13:04:34 <Eddi|zuHause> german tram set is obsolete
13:04:57 <dragonhorseboy> does the germanrv have any decent buses over the default ones?
13:05:27 <Eddi|zuHause> it has busses and trams
13:05:34 <dragonhorseboy> hm ok let me check that site again one moment ;)
13:05:38 <Eddi|zuHause> lorries are unfinished
13:08:11 *** worldemar has joined #openttd
13:11:43 <dragonhorseboy> hmm yeah all these buses in germanrv look decent .. and speed well seem a bit slow but I can live with that :)
13:13:03 <dragonhorseboy> ok time to test out my scenario for a bit :)
13:13:42 <oskari89> Dragonhoreboy: Like to test my 1000 lakes scenario when it's finished? :)
13:14:06 <dragonhorseboy> 1000 lakes...really?
13:14:22 <oskari89> I'd say 10000 lakes, perhaps.. :)
13:14:49 <dragonhorseboy> you mean lot of waterways and little lands (aside to buildings/industries's)
13:14:54 <dragonhorseboy> just wondering
13:14:55 <oskari89> 2048x2048, realistic heighmap-based..
13:15:17 <oskari89> Railways are the most feasible though :)
13:16:32 <dragonhorseboy> hmm want share a screenshot of somewhere random on that map?
13:16:37 <oskari89> Just need to check the heightmap for water errors and place the cities..
13:18:15 <oskari89> Already have a screenshot, just need to put it to my gallery site.
13:23:05 <oskari89> There's not yet placed cities and some towns/villages.
13:23:17 <oskari89> Much more than that :)
13:27:18 <oskari89> Need to continue it when other works in progress are ready :
13:28:57 <dragonhorseboy> heh have fun ;)
13:29:18 <dragonhorseboy> oh and sirsquidness .. I managed to lay some rails for oil&mail in my map, go figure :p
13:30:07 <oskari89> Hmm.. dragonhorseboy, what do you think of my in-progress scenario? :P
13:32:40 <dragonhorseboy> and shore-hugging a little electrified commuter route too
13:32:49 <dragonhorseboy> but look like I'll still have to add a ton of buses
13:35:16 *** Hirundo has joined #openttd
13:37:11 <Zuu> Have it been noted that changes.txt is empty on binaries server?
13:40:22 <dragonhorseboy> sirsquidness I think you *maybe* could try play with vanilla trains but I suspect they'll be too slow and small :P
13:40:24 <Rubidium> Zuu: broken-ish subversion stuff
13:45:51 <Zuu> Rubidium: Okay, so something upstream related to subversion then?
13:46:38 <Rubidium> I've heard it's fixed in 1.6
13:50:31 <Eddi|zuHause> is this still about the invalid revisions?
13:51:41 <Rubidium> well, if they're invalid then svn's dumpfilter is flawed
13:58:46 <dragonhorseboy> well I'm going, bye :p

14:40:40 <Ammler> why doesn't openttd use strip and upx?
14:42:06 <petern> pretty sure the builds *are* stripped
14:42:34 <Ammler> didn't say, it should, just wondering, if there are disadvantages of it

14:53:37 <Ammler> doubleyoudoubleyoudoubleyou?
14:53:51 <glx> I used upx when I was win9x "builder"
14:54:07 <frosch123> something like doubly-doubly-doubly-you or simliar
14:55:06 <frosch123> I was not really listening, but that woke me :p
14:58:39 <glx> hmm today is tetris day ?
14:59:47 <frosch123> 25th aniversary acording to google start page :) but I guess that is also your source :p
15:00:02 <glx> yes I noticed the image :)

15:08:22 <_ln> 25 years since Tetris, 65 years since Normandy. can it be a coincidence.
15:13:39 <planetmaker> though... 25hex is not that young ;)
15:14:20 <Eddi|zuHause> everything over 0x18 is old? :p
15:15:02 <planetmaker> I just change the base :P
15:15:48 <SmatZ> not if you are < 15 though
15:16:00 <planetmaker> oh well. even then it's possible ;)
15:16:16 <SmatZ> unless you change the meaning of symbols "1" and "7" ;)

17:12:02 <planetmaker> Nice, Lakie :) ty.
17:12:12 <planetmaker> my systems are odd.
17:12:23 <planetmaker> most easily it's to compile renum and grfcodec on linux
17:12:42 <planetmaker> I can compile grfcodec on mac, but not renum. On windows it's the other way around
17:12:51 <Lakie> .d files were the cause of renum failing
17:13:04 <Lakie> (Since I updated my boost manually and forgot to delete them
17:13:24 <Lakie> Shouldn't be too hard for mac?
17:13:36 <Lakie> I think mingw has a gcc version for mac?
17:13:50 <planetmaker> you don't need mingw for mac
17:14:00 <planetmaker> mac is in its heart a unix system.
17:15:00 <Lakie> But, doesn't mac have some 'tweaks' around relative file paths?
17:15:02 <planetmaker> but it has funny errors with some C templates
17:15:10 <planetmaker> glx: that's details :)
17:15:19 <planetmaker> Lakie: not really.
17:15:29 <planetmaker> works here like linux
17:15:40 <planetmaker> just some dirs are named differently
17:16:22 <planetmaker> And obviously the gcc here interprets some things slightly different
17:16:53 <planetmaker> seems to be a common problem, linux gccs are said to be sloppier. Spent the whole afternoon chasing the cause... unsuccessful
17:18:00 <planetmaker> and on my mingw somehow I can produce a grfcodec.exe, but it crashes. But renum is fine... tsk
17:18:42 <glx> planetmaker: "it crashes" is not a good info
17:18:44 <Lakie> Well, I remember various rendering engines having special code around relative file paths
17:18:54 <planetmaker> glx: yes, I know :)
17:19:32 <planetmaker> well. the initial exe is "too big for memory"
17:19:39 <planetmaker> then I strip it - still the same
17:19:45 <planetmaker> then I upx pack it.

17:20:40 <planetmaker> stripped it's 140k
17:21:13 <planetmaker> well... I concerning this mingw/msys install, I need probably to fiddle more :)
17:22:38 <planetmaker> might be that I link to the boost library on my mac HD
17:23:02 <planetmaker> *might be caused by the
17:23:11 <glx> cp: `grfcodec.exe' and `grfcodec.exe' are the same file <-- lol
17:23:32 <planetmaker> undeniably true, I guess

20:11:24 <_ln> glx, what is the suspected reason currently in french media?
20:13:17 <glx> but it seems they found 2 bodies and a seat (with a corresponding serial number)
20:13:35 <Chrill> and an actual flight ticket for the flight in question
20:15:07 <_ln> slashdot had a story about a speculation about a meteor having hit the plane.
20:15:47 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
20:18:06 <_ln> "Taking into account total flight hours and the rate of meteoric activity with the requisite mass to impact on Earth (approximately 3,000 a day), some quick math suggests there may be one in twenty odds of a plane being brought down in the period from 1989 to 2009."
20:33:53 * Eddi|zuHause goes getting his tinfoil hat
20:34:06 <Aali> so we can expect airport security to look for meteor-sized objects in your luggage now?
20:35:30 <Eddi|zuHause> meteors aren't actually big... most of them do not even reach the ground
20:36:01 <Aali> thank you for ruining the joke
20:36:18 <Eddi|zuHause> well, yes, that is my speciality ;)
20:39:20 <petern> how can you rcon ... say?
20:39:33 <petern> there's a quoting problem
20:40:19 <Eddi|zuHause> tried escaping the quotes?
20:41:28 <Eddi|zuHause> i always thought the need for quoting with rcon was odd...
20:41:47 <Eddi|zuHause> there needs to be a way for rcon to handle multiple arguments as one command
20:43:59 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: Aali : may I ruin the joke even more? Meteors can - by definition of the word - not reach the ground. Only meteorites can.

20:44:26 <Eddi|zuHause> i considered mentioning that
20:44:54 <Mustlohe> every one have openTTD 0.4.5
20:45:20 <Eddi|zuHause> but i wamted to leave some "Korinthen" for others ;)
20:45:39 <Eddi|zuHause> Mustlohe: the current version is in the topic
20:46:08 <planetmaker> 0.4.5 is... way before I knew this game
20:46:20 <Mustlohe> i dont understand everythink
20:46:35 <Eddi|zuHause> 0.4.5 was shortly after i joined this channel
20:46:39 <Mustlohe> i dont speak every much english
20:46:44 <Eddi|zuHause> after the PBS debacle
20:46:53 <planetmaker> he... from the MiniIN?
20:47:06 <Mustlohe> i wanna play internet
20:47:14 <planetmaker> Mustlohe: go right ahead :)
20:47:23 <Eddi|zuHause> miniin was born when the PBS were removed from trunk
20:47:32 <planetmaker> oh, ok @ Eddi|zuHause
20:49:12 <Eddi|zuHause> back then the quality control measures were not as effective :p
20:50:04 <planetmaker> Mustlohe: what's your problem with playing online / in the internet?
20:50:15 *** z-MaTRiX has joined #openttd
20:50:26 <planetmaker> Possibly, if you have 0.4.x, you want to update to 0.7.0
20:50:40 <planetmaker> there are no 0.4.x servers anymore (or only abandoned ones)
20:53:35 <Eddi|zuHause> petern: when i joined here, everybody was whining "with these PBS, we can't make a release"
20:54:59 <Mustlohe> everybody know some 4.5 version online ip
20:55:29 <Eddi|zuHause> Mustlohe: no, nobody uses that version anymore. get 0.7.0 from the website
20:55:48 <Mustlohe> what website i get that
20:58:05 <_ln> ma olen soomest, and i don't speak much estonian

21:11:07 <planetmaker> Aali: they don't reach that low atmosphere either. The visual effect is in 100km or so.
21:11:14 <planetmaker> in 10km you don't see them anymore
21:11:33 <planetmaker> if they're meteorites. If they're meteors, they're gone after the flash

21:35:47 <dragonhorseboy> what is it with way-huge sized trainset grfs? :-|
21:36:01 * dragonhorseboy wonders if any creators bothered counting the sprite limit heh
21:36:28 <Eddi|zuHause> limitation disturbs me very sprites?
21:37:42 <frosch123> which sprite limit?
21:38:18 <dragonhorseboy> frosch...no clue because it crashes as soon as attempt to load either new map or the grf table
21:38:54 <frosch123> please add more details :)
21:39:42 <Eddi|zuHause> the grf list does not have anything to do with sprites
21:40:09 <dragonhorseboy> eddi..well it crashed there too unless random several are manually commented out in the cfg file
21:40:48 <frosch123> so, about which version are you talking here?
21:41:13 <dragonhorseboy> doesn't seem to be any specific ones..just that all japanset, dbsetxl, and canset seem to have been coded way too large to be able to work with anything else
21:41:43 <dragonhorseboy> (neverminding that dbsetxl at least doesn't mind just only one or two LV3 or 3.5 grfs alone)
21:42:16 <frosch123> I hope you are not talking about ttdp in this channel?
21:42:27 <Eddi|zuHause> you are talking nonsense
21:42:59 <dragonhorseboy> frosch..both r8930 and (its in a guest os so takes a while to load at times) 0.7.0
21:43:41 <frosch123> r8930, hmm, that is about my first source contact with ottd
21:44:12 <Eddi|zuHause> that should also be around the time when the sprite limit got increased :p
21:44:45 <dragonhorseboy> eddi..well...it stil doesn't want to let dbsetxl+LV4 run at all..still have to run the same limited one-or-two LV3.x grfs to be able to play any games at all
21:45:11 <Eddi|zuHause> then you are not playing 0.7.0
21:45:38 <dragonhorseboy> frosch...does openttd.org actually says 0.4.5 is the Stable to download now?
21:47:05 <Eddi|zuHause> dragonhorseboy: then maybe you installed 0.7, but are running the wrong binary
21:48:40 <Eddi|zuHause> no. stop trying to blame someone else for your failures
21:48:44 <frosch123> you telling me, that 100000 downloaders had problems with loading more than one grf?
21:48:53 <dragonhorseboy> eddi...look at the link again..it clearly says 0.7.0 hm?
21:49:21 <petern> i can download 0.7.0 from there all i like
21:49:24 <petern> doesn't mean i'm running it
21:56:31 <frosch123> :o I was quite wrong, my first patch is against r6513
21:57:19 <Eddi|zuHause> i was here around r3300
21:57:50 <Eddi|zuHause> my first patch was quite a while later
22:00:35 <dragonhorseboy> hm seeing MB's site is still down I need to ask if Newcargo and Cargoset were meant to be used together or was only Newcargo needed alone? (with dbsetxl trains)
22:00:47 <Eddi|zuHause> the first incarnation of middle stop that i can find is for r6982
22:01:16 <frosch123> dragonhorseboy: both grfs are only test-grfs, are not meant for playing, and generally conflict with about everything

22:06:36 <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: you should tell the guy, who committed that patch to trunk, what you didn't like about it. ;-)
22:07:06 <Eddi|zuHause> i would, but nobody commited that patch to trunk :p
22:07:59 <Eddi|zuHause> somebody commited a patch to trunk which slightly overlapped in behaviour ;)
22:07:59 <Ammler> well, but the idea/feature :P
22:08:24 <Ammler> yes, and he changed the default behavior to middle
22:08:25 <Eddi|zuHause> and why would i not like the feature?
22:08:47 <Ammler> you always said, it should be configurable
22:09:38 <dragonhorseboy> either way I still remember starting with 0.4.0 or something like that .. and how I was wondering why 0.4.7 seem to like to disconnect each few hours for odd reasons (but 0.5.0 didn't repeat that)
22:09:53 <dragonhorseboy> hated autoclean servers back then heh
22:10:00 <Ammler> maybe it is in the meantime :-)
22:12:09 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm pretty sure that was the first thing i checked... whether there was a setting for the default value
22:13:17 <theholyduck> i wonder if this will actually work :P
22:14:29 <dragonhorseboy> theholyduck just what the BLOODY is all of THAT mess for? :P
22:15:04 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, i still havent added prios, so its going to get messier yet
22:15:15 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, but its a any direction enter, any direction exit station
22:15:25 <theholyduck> hooked up to a 2 line in each direction mainline
22:15:41 <theholyduck> while trying to not terraform anything
22:15:48 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't know why, but mine tend to look better than that
22:16:12 <theholyduck> Eddi|zuHause, well if i could tf a bit.
22:16:21 <theholyduck> or if it wasnt all sett on a hill right next to the ocean
22:16:29 <theholyduck> it would be prettier
22:16:47 <theholyduck> it SHOULD theoreticalyl work anyway
22:16:57 <theholyduck> Markk, a little bit for bridgeheads
22:17:06 <frosch123> hmm, the constructor bar says different
22:17:29 <dragonhorseboy> theholyduck still i wouldn't had laid a quarter that much tracks for a bi-directional station off the mainline myself
22:17:32 <dragonhorseboy> but then to our own ;)
22:18:10 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, i'm not the most experienced builder in the world either though
22:18:17 <theholyduck> but atleast i stuck with the CL everywhere
22:19:42 <theholyduck> the lenght a train needs to turn going at full speed
22:19:47 <theholyduck> in this case the trains need 6 tiles
22:19:58 <theholyduck> any more and it would slow down
22:20:32 <dragonhorseboy> well where I play..trains slow down a bit at any change of direction they hit at if it was a long/heavy trains anyway
22:20:43 <dragonhorseboy> so go figure with different styles
22:20:58 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, well the easiest way is just to make the corner as long as the train
22:21:09 <theholyduck> so if you are using 12 tiles long trains, use 12 tile long corners
22:21:28 <theholyduck> this leads to HUGE junctions though
22:25:14 <dragonhorseboy> want me show you what one of my usual style is?
22:28:48 <dragonhorseboy> ok one moment to make a quick map :)
22:36:31 <dragonhorseboy> now to go into normal game mode... :p
22:37:06 <Lakie> With mingw32 whats the command to strip the mingw dependances?
22:38:00 <Eddi|zuHause> there are no mingw dependencies
22:38:31 <dragonhorseboy> meh...afk for a while to eat hot supper :S
22:39:05 <Lakie> Well, when currently built I need a "mingwm10.dll"
22:39:15 <Lakie> Which I'd call a dependance
22:40:01 <Eddi|zuHause> i have never seen such a dependency
22:41:28 <petern> Eddi|zuHause, it's not a dependency, it's a dependancy
22:42:10 <Eddi|zuHause> you sure of that?
22:44:11 <Eddi|zuHause> well, in that case, i have never seen a dependancy either
22:45:44 <Eddi|zuHause> is that etymologically related to a pendant?
22:49:09 <Lakie> Nope, demands that file, not sure why
22:53:44 <SmatZ> de·pen·dan·cy : Variant of dependency.

23:14:29 <dragonhorseboy> theholyduck you there?
23:21:14 <dragonhorseboy> hm where could he be :/
23:25:11 <Eddi|zuHause> if people are suspiciously quiet, check your ignore list
23:25:34 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, sure
23:25:44 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, im busy beta-testing something :P
23:25:56 <theholyduck> but it being beta it jut crashed
23:26:00 <theholyduck> so i decided to check irc
23:26:15 * theholyduck moves irc to the other monitor
23:26:19 <dragonhorseboy> almost done with the screenshot-making here..just one last junction left :)
23:26:40 <theholyduck> take a look at that one
23:29:28 <theholyduck> its a 5 way junction
23:29:33 <theholyduck> you cant actually fit all of it on screen
23:29:47 <dragonhorseboy> theholyduck..that just completely confuses me its a good thing I'm not either a dispatcher nor locomotive engineer THERE heh :) (could you imagine dispatcher going "train 41..umm..ah..I don't know which is which so I hope you're heading in the right way" :)
23:29:54 <dragonhorseboy> just teasing of course :)
23:30:11 <Eddi|zuHause> it's only a little less pain to look at because it is using rails
23:31:02 <Eddi|zuHause> dragonhorseboy: dispatchers for trains, unlike the ones for aircraft, are not actually talking to the train drivers
23:31:26 <Eddi|zuHause> that's what they have signals for
23:31:26 <glx> [00:37:12] <Lakie> With mingw32 whats the command to strip the mingw dependances? <-- -mnocygwin
23:32:18 <dragonhorseboy> eddi..well there's still always the lines that are nicknamed 'black holes' (for north america anyhow) because there's no signals so its all dispatcher paper orders and the so .. although I guess the invention of radio made this reducency)

23:44:27 <dragonhorseboy> ok waiting for it to proccess the stupid screenshot on hd :|
23:51:12 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, looow capacity :P
23:51:49 <theholyduck> also, you have such nice flat landscape to build on
23:51:57 <theholyduck> mine is a mess because a) its high capacity and b) the terrain is a mess
23:52:08 <dragonhorseboy> and theholyduck I've had no problem seeing 10-16 trains at same time at that small 4-way junction
23:52:38 <dragonhorseboy> (then again most of my junctions are only for express trains so often a lot of line changing's)
23:53:10 <theholyduck> too sharp corners so train slow down, no double bridges so you cant run trains right ontop of eachother
23:53:24 <theholyduck> but i guess its allright
23:53:26 <dragonhorseboy> theholyduck..umm nope I still can see 260km/h trains blast through full speed
23:54:05 <theholyduck> with realistic accelration, and more than 3 tile long trains?
23:54:12 <dragonhorseboy> although sometimes the overextended BR112's can droop a bit speedwise (a wonder I often doublehead them for the overnighter trains)
23:54:41 <dragonhorseboy> theholyduck..I've always had relastic handle on full in ttdxp and all accerlation options selected in ottd ;)
23:55:40 <dragonhorseboy> but anyway as I was trying to say...the reason i love (and use it so often at that too) my single platform design is that its dumb cheap to build but still serves in both directions while the station still gets as close to town as it already can be (sometimes I do delete a house or two to do that)
23:55:53 <theholyduck> dragonhorseboy, also complexity goes up pretty much exponentially for every line that has to enter and every line that has to exit the area :P
23:56:17 <dragonhorseboy> I often have a mix of skipper and through trains (skipper as in that they come from south and stop to disgourge then flip back south)
23:57:06 <dragonhorseboy> sometimes its funny to see a south train coming into platform and the north train somehow coming in at same time and having to wait for the stupid south train 'to get its face out of here!' :)
23:57:52 <dragonhorseboy> then again most of these are only 1 to 4 cars for that reason .. stop and go in no time flat :D
23:58:30 <dragonhorseboy> except for steam power during the early years where none of the diesel/electric are good enough for rapid commuters yet (eg BR01 with 4 local coaches)
23:59:41 <dragonhorseboy> theholyduck but either way more than often I usually just build single or light double-track lines so I almost never bother with junctions except to split one north city with two south cities etc
continue to next day ⏵
