05:30:11 <keikoz> please, i have a little question: could someone explain me what are the "secondary colors" that can be choosen in the color dialog box for the liveries ? When i change them, nothing seem to happen ...
05:30:43 <keikoz> (if someone's awake ^^ )
05:32:33 <kennobaka> I actually only changed the primary on one game, and never noticed anything weird

05:37:51 <keikoz> oh it's not a problem. I'm just really curious
05:47:35 <keikoz> oh, i found the anwser: it can only be used with some newgrf
06:28:41 <petern> and the secondary colour selector is only available if a newgrf with secondary company colours is loaded

10:27:21 <Muddy> i'm in a bit of a pickle.. seems like my openttd server disregards the need to have minimum 2 players connected to let the game get unpaused
10:27:30 <Muddy> now it just keeps going and going
10:28:45 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd
10:28:48 *** [alt]buster is now known as [com]buster
10:30:12 <Rubidium> what version are you using? And have you set min_active_clients?
10:31:52 <dihedral> and is it an unpatched game?
10:35:08 *** worldemar has joined #openttd
10:36:03 <Muddy> just upgraded from 0.7.0 to 0.7.1 to see if that did the trick
10:36:37 <Muddy> and have set min_active_clients a while back, just now when i installed it on another server it seems to disregard it
10:38:57 <Muddy> since when did that change? *reminds himself to read changelog more frequently*
10:39:33 <Muddy> guess i skipped that version when it changed then.. :P
10:39:53 <Muddy> suddenly the game had gone to year 2346 with noone playing
10:40:35 <dihedral> what did you run before 0.7?
10:41:43 <Muddy> had some server-upgrades though, so don't have the old binaries anymore
10:41:52 <dihedral> i never knew there was 0.6.9
10:42:21 <dihedral> i think that has something to do with the fact that 0.6.9 does not exists :-P
10:43:26 <dihedral> that is really cute :-)
10:43:30 <dihedral> you actually have no idea :-D
10:43:54 <Muddy> oh wait, perhaps i have the old config
10:44:13 <dihedral> 0.6.3 was the last stable before 0.7.0
10:44:55 <Muddy> 0.6.1 according to the old openttd.cfg
10:45:10 <Muddy> that might explain a few things ;)
10:45:23 <Muddy> but i thought i upgraded to 0.6.3 too
10:45:31 <Muddy> oh well, that's in the past
10:46:02 <Muddy> btw, loving OpenTTDLib ;)
11:06:21 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
11:08:49 <dihedral> if you need any help you know where to find me ;-)
11:22:55 *** LA is now known as LordAzamath
11:23:08 <LordAzamath> planetmaker around?
11:37:16 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: wth is a "WITH!!! Monday"? :p
11:37:42 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: you haven't been looking at the forum enough ;)
11:38:00 <Eddi|zuHause> well, i know about the autoreplacement :p
11:40:35 <Eddi|zuHause> so, whit monday is what we call "Pfingstmontag" over here?
11:41:09 <Rubidium> (at least, wikipedia says so)

13:38:16 <Cryloud> hi guys i want create missed 32bpp with zoom stages and missed 8bpp modells
13:38:42 <Cryloud> where i can find a actually list which buildings missed in 32bpp and 8bbp too
13:42:28 *** lewymati has joined #openttd
13:49:53 <Eddi|zuHause> anyone remind me which platforms have signed/unsigned char?
13:50:32 <Rubidium> that's kinda undefined
13:52:17 <Eddi|zuHause> it can only be undefined in the standard, as soon as you have an actual compiler, it must be defined
13:52:59 <Rubidium> well, is 'linux' a platform?
13:53:09 <Rubidium> is 'ppc' a platform?
13:54:02 <Eddi|zuHause> no, but "gcc on XY-linux" is a platform
13:54:37 <Rubidium> so it's basically 'which instances of compilers have unsigned chars' and 'which instances of compilers have signed chars'
13:54:51 <Rubidium> good luck making a list of that
13:56:09 *** lewymati has joined #openttd

14:01:13 <Eddi|zuHause> "youtube, twitter and facebook will merge to form one super-time-wasting website
14:01:19 <Eddi|zuHause> called youtwitface"
14:01:28 <ddfreyne> Hi. Is this the proper channel for gameplay discussion, or is this mostly a developer-oriented channel?
14:01:46 <Eddi|zuHause> no to both, i'm afraid :p
14:02:09 <ddfreyne> ah, a "hang around and be as off-topic as possible" channel? :>
14:02:20 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: you're missing pics.nase-bohren.de
14:02:42 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: yes, but Conan o'Brien probably did not know about that one :p
14:02:58 <planetmaker> ddfreyne, depends :P
14:03:17 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: neither does it have bash.org
14:03:21 <planetmaker> It's only one thing not discussed: realizm
14:03:27 <Rubidium> bash.org doesn't seem very alive anymore
14:03:42 <Eddi|zuHause> alright then, qdb.us
14:04:07 <Rubidium> don't bring Bjarni on ideas
14:04:28 <Cryloud> learn to spell bad things lol
14:05:18 <TinoDidriksen> Eddi|zuHause, re un/signed...just use C99 types int32_t uint32_t and family to be sure what you're getting.
14:05:41 <ddfreyne> anyway, if someone finds time between bash.org and facebook and icanhascheezburger and whatever… could someone explain me why my trains never make profit? :>
14:06:07 <Eddi|zuHause> ddfreyne: because you use transfer orders when you shouldn't
14:06:10 <ddfreyne> it's a rather good reflection of my real-life management skills at the moment
14:07:01 <ddfreyne> Eddi|zuHause: alright, will give the orders article a good read and check what i'm missing
14:07:38 <dihedral> how the fuck should we know what you are missing in your fridge if we have never seen it's contents??
14:08:55 <Eddi|zuHause> hey, i like flying blind
14:09:20 <Eddi|zuHause> more often than not it shows that i actually AM psychic ;)
14:09:30 <Ammler> oh, Cryloud found IRC ;-)
14:09:42 <Cryloud> i know there is one :d
14:09:50 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: he was here first
14:10:06 <Cryloud> i was here first day i see this openttd development hrhr
14:10:20 <Cryloud> but not much guys reply to my questions ;o
14:14:00 <Rubidium> Cryloud: then don't ask the wrong people the wrong question at the wrong time ;)
14:14:27 <dihedral> and wait longer than 1 minute for an answer :-P
14:14:48 <Cryloud> it was 15 minutes dude ;)
14:14:49 <Rubidium> and don't expect everyone to know everything
14:15:02 <Cryloud> that was a joke look at my eyes : ^^
14:16:05 <Cryloud> now i start hear techno4ever.net = better modelling
14:16:12 <Rubidium> and asking a question and leaving within a few minutes is.. uhm.. annoying
14:18:08 <dihedral> well can be amusing too :-D
14:18:31 <Eddi|zuHause> only the first 358 times
14:19:24 <Eddi|zuHause> which means it gets boring after 3 weeks
14:23:03 *** theholyduck has joined #openttd
14:25:47 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
14:38:40 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
14:47:38 <Muddy> gonna convert it to use mysql as a backend for serverhostnames and ports
14:58:54 *** dragonhorseboy has joined #openttd
14:59:15 <dragonhorseboy> just wondering about it but is opengfx generally made up of individual author licenses right?
15:01:46 <Yexo> he? OpenGFX is released under the gpl license
15:06:46 <Sacro> I don't think all of it is GPL
15:06:52 <Sacro> not sure all of the first people agreed to it
15:07:59 <planetmaker> Sacro, they did. They were asked and those who didn't agree got their contributions removed.
15:08:16 <Sacro> i know i posted a reply early on about that
15:08:47 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker and yexo thanks :)
15:10:50 <dragonhorseboy> btw if you don't mind me asking, just quite what is 'yexo'? ;)
15:11:34 <dragonhorseboy> heh just a random name I take it?
15:13:25 <dragonhorseboy> hm say I came up with a silly idea of your name... You Ever Xeroxed Orudg? :)
15:13:34 <dragonhorseboy> heh I missed an E there
15:14:40 <dragonhorseboy> cryloud...hmm..a bit weathering of the walls and maybe the upper rim of the smokestacks being smoke dirty but otherwise looks nice
15:14:45 <planetmaker> Cryloud, I wonder what the big brick / concrete plate on top of the ground floor is supposed to be...?
15:15:14 <planetmaker> and where do the stairs lead to and how does one access the ground floor?
15:15:27 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker..I'll assume the small door to left of stairs? :)
15:15:43 <Cryloud> i can change it lol ^^
15:15:45 <dragonhorseboy> and the stones could be a balacony from a back door access on second floor
15:15:48 <planetmaker> it looks a bit magritte - like to me :P
15:15:53 <dragonhorseboy> (would NEED fences tho)
15:16:13 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy, a balcony with no fence? hahaa. Nice for children and drunken people.
15:16:17 <Cryloud> the stairs = directly wy to upper stages
15:16:25 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker..see what I said, duh? :P
15:16:26 <Cryloud> and the another is an entry to first etage
15:16:44 <dragonhorseboy> cryloud its ok - at least we can comprehend it :)
15:17:01 <dragonhorseboy> cryloud..then what are these stones for?
15:17:27 <Cryloud> was a gimmick i dont now i play a bit with the textures, i can delete it = )
15:18:09 <planetmaker> Cryloud, it doesn't hurt to have a balcony. But the concrete layer is IMO way too thick
15:18:39 <planetmaker> given the proportions it's about 1.5m or so.
15:19:53 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker what think of my suggestion on the smokestacks anyway? (oh and I dunno but maybe 2 or just 1 instead of four would seem better, what you think?)
15:20:17 <planetmaker> one is sufficient.
15:20:40 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker yeah
15:21:57 *** Chruker|nn is now known as Chruker
15:23:57 <Cryloud> i use translator for u guys kik
15:24:01 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker but anyhow the reason I asked about opengfx license was from wondering about reusing some sprites in another grf .. but its just a thought yet of course
15:24:47 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy, you may - if it's under a GPL license and you credit the contributors of those sprites.
15:25:03 <Sacro> and include the licence and release souce
15:25:14 <dragonhorseboy> release source?
15:25:21 <planetmaker> Sacro, the first: yes. The latter is not required. Only upon request :)
15:25:34 <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy, all the things which you needed in order to compile the newgrf.
15:25:42 <planetmaker> e.g. nfo files and images. at least
15:25:46 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker..ah..yeah I'll pass on that
15:26:04 <Yexo> planetmaker: but if you don't publish the source, you have to make a written offer for providing the source
15:26:12 <dragonhorseboy> license..I'll add that to the readme file
15:26:25 <planetmaker> Yexo, sure. And sure I'll ask for the source then :)
15:26:50 <Yexo> dihedral: serious question?
15:27:33 <dihedral> Cryloud, where is that house supposed to fit? on a 64x64 map?
15:27:49 <Cryloud> i dondt kniow ? u can change the size on the .png ?
15:27:51 <planetmaker> dihedral, it's a one-tile house it seems to me.
15:28:24 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
15:28:40 <planetmaker> and it's hopefully possible to scale it down to 64 pixels width :)
15:28:45 <Cryloud> i want integrate it on 32bpp + zoom and 8bpp, when it would missed in the list
15:28:50 <planetmaker> Cryloud, you may want to try it actually :)
15:29:11 <Cryloud> i dont know how i can try it or test it thats my problem ;)
15:30:01 <Cryloud> yeagh its a 1 tile house
15:31:06 <Cryloud> was 20 minutes of work ) not much but i dont work for useless buildings
15:31:15 <Cryloud> hmm the grammatic its crap right ? :D
15:35:07 <Eddi|zuHause> Cryloud: the house looks nice, but the projection is not right
15:36:56 *** lewymati has joined #openttd
15:38:39 <Cryloud> whats wrong. the angle ?
15:38:59 <Eddi|zuHause> well, you can't send in a picture with the wrong projection...
15:39:40 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, at least the angles are wrong
15:40:19 <planetmaker> Cryloud, the building would IMO also profit, if some of the windows featured flower pots on the outside.
15:41:29 <Cryloud> any props where i can download ? hmm eddi one moment it must fit look here, i have a screenshot with the right angle and it fits
15:42:55 <Eddi|zuHause> as much as i like flying blind, can i see the settings dialog which shows which projection you use? i know the all the necessary theory, but i can't explain it to you when i don't know what you are able to set up
15:43:25 <Cryloud> i didnt use a specific projection, i rotate the object to the angles
15:44:21 <Eddi|zuHause> it must be a projection... whether you know it or not...
15:44:36 <Cryloud> it is front projection
15:44:41 <Eddi|zuHause> anything showing a 3d object on a flat surface is a projection
15:44:49 <Cryloud> and only i rotate the object with the specific angles
15:45:17 <planetmaker> Cryloud, rotating it is something different than choosing a projection.
15:45:21 <andythenorth> if two pythons are good, are three better?
15:45:58 <planetmaker> a projection is the mathematical method to convert n-dimensional tupels to m-dimensional tupels
15:46:07 <planetmaker> e.g. a 3D coordinate to a 2D coordinate
15:46:57 <Cryloud> hmpf how u know i doesnt fit ? = (
15:47:06 <Noldo> does it have to be linear?
15:47:07 <planetmaker> nether the rotation of the building nor the rendering actually is part of that
15:47:29 <planetmaker> Noldo, a projection does not need to be linear. This one: yes.
15:47:39 <Noldo> planetmaker: continuous?
15:47:44 <planetmaker> Noldo, e.g. (x,y,z) -> 0
15:47:49 <Eddi|zuHause> Cryloud: on a close look, it might fit, but i can't tell unless i know exactly what projection is used
15:47:53 <planetmaker> is also a projection. Quite trivial, though
15:48:30 <planetmaker> Noldo, not even that. Who tells you that source and destination are continuous sets?
15:48:36 *** LordAzamath has joined #openttd
15:48:37 <Cryloud> its a front projection i show it to u one moment ...
15:48:38 <planetmaker> could be discrete.
15:48:55 <planetmaker> works continuously
15:49:11 <planetmaker> at least Q is dense(?)
15:49:25 <planetmaker> in the set of real numbers
15:50:10 *** LordAzamath has left #openttd
15:50:19 <Eddi|zuHause> dense yes, but not continuous (in the sense that Q has not the cardinality of the continuum)
15:50:48 <planetmaker> well Q is countable, R not, yes.
15:51:02 *** LordAzamath has joined #openttd
15:51:11 <planetmaker> But continuous it is nevertheless.
15:51:19 <Eddi|zuHause> between any two values of Q, there is a value of R between them
15:51:24 <LordAzamath> I can has greet ppl :)
15:53:43 <planetmaker> Behold folks: Infrastructure sharing patch beta3 has been released and compiled. Thanks for compilation from the compile farm!
15:54:00 <dragonhorseboy> well I'm going for now
15:54:02 *** dragonhorseboy has left #openttd
15:54:10 * LordAzamath thanks the compile farm
15:54:27 <_ln> infrastructure sharing.... when will we see it in trunk? it would be about time.
15:55:09 <Yexo> _ln: as always, when it's done
15:55:15 <planetmaker> _ln, not yet. Still needs testing and it's not done yet.
15:55:29 <planetmaker> But you can help it by playing it a lot and testing all the nasty corner cases :)
15:57:27 <Eddi|zuHause> Cryloud: that looks awfully overcomplicated
15:57:46 <Cryloud> XSI is not easy i know
15:58:30 <Cryloud> but in blender u must create a specific angle with ur camera settings
15:58:40 <Cryloud> and thats be 45 and 30 or 26.56
15:58:52 <Cryloud> when i do that with my objects its the same imo
15:59:53 <Cryloud> here is a thread i started in the german xsi community = and one of them has show me how i can do it in xsi (this guys use blender)
16:00:03 <Rubidium> how long does it take before 'they' understand that no camera angle with get 'the right' angles?
16:00:52 <Eddi|zuHause> not before "they" understand that a parallel projection is not a perspective view
16:01:21 <planetmaker> Cryloud, yup. Read what Rubidium says. It's not a matter of the camera position. It's a matter of the projection. The conversion from 3D to 2D.
16:02:32 <Belugas> [12:01] <Cryloud> but in blender u must create a specific angle with ur camera settings <--- "U" is a letter, not a word. "UR" is an ancien middle-eastern city. Does not fit in your sentence
16:02:39 <Rubidium> what you need is a projection where a cube (with all edges equally long) shows all vertical edges equally long, instead of the further an edge is away from the camera the smaller it looks
16:02:50 <Cryloud> i have no parallel projection, i can ortographic and perspective
16:03:39 <Cryloud> sry belugas my english isnt perfect i know = )
16:03:53 <Cryloud> i learned it only over the www
16:04:09 <Belugas> helping you getting it better ;)
16:05:14 <Rubidium> Cryloud: you need the isometric projection
16:05:17 <Cryloud> so you want say rubidium, i havent to rotate my object, only my camery, that quite a bit complicated to bring the camera right on
16:05:25 <Cryloud> isometric doestn fit too
16:05:47 <Cryloud> i have posted one isometric projection in the thread and one guy checked the angles = is too wrong
16:05:48 <planetmaker> It comes close, but doesn't do it quite. Yes.
16:06:21 <planetmaker> DaleStan actually mentioned the right name of the required projection.
16:06:36 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
16:12:16 <Cryloud> Uses an orthographic projection. All camera rays are parallel, and objects do not change size as they change distance from the camera. This projection is useful for architectural and engineering renderings.
16:12:43 <_ln> could also try pornographic projection
16:13:15 <Eddi|zuHause> it's actually a really easy mathematical projection you have the basis vectors of your axis x=(1,0,0) (along the back left edge of the tile), y=(0,1,0) (along the back right edge of the tile), and z=(0,0,1) (height of the building. then you have the target vectors of these base vectors in screen coordinates: (1,0,0)->(-2,1), (0,1,0)->(2,1), (0,0,1)->(0,-sqrt(5))
16:13:30 <Eddi|zuHause> from these three vectors, you can construct the transformation matrix
16:13:48 <planetmaker> Cryloud, yes. But the angle of orthogonal ground lines needs to be a special one.
16:14:29 <Eddi|zuHause> i think the game rounds the sqrt(5) to 2, not sure
16:15:24 <Cryloud> hard and heavy this projection ...
16:15:39 <Eddi|zuHause> honestly, this is one of the easiest projections of all ;)
16:15:46 <Cryloud> i do a new track for that rofl
16:16:17 <Cryloud> tell to xsi user that projection he looks like me then lol
16:16:55 <Cryloud> Optical Center Shift (inches)
16:17:01 <Eddi|zuHause> isometric is the same as these, only the 2 change into 2*sqrt(3) and the sqrt(5) changes into 2 (i think)
16:17:02 <Cryloud> Controls the offset from the camera 2019s optical center in X and Y.
16:17:26 <planetmaker> Cryloud, no other projection will do, though... And a center offset neither.
16:18:48 <Eddi|zuHause> hm, without the 2*, i believe
16:19:29 <Eddi|zuHause> i.e (1,0,0)->(-sqrt(3),1), (0,1,0)->(sqrt(3),1), (0,0,1)->(0,-2)
16:19:58 <Eddi|zuHause> that's the (30°) isometric projection
16:20:30 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
16:21:13 <Eddi|zuHause> no, dimetric is something different
16:21:43 <Eddi|zuHause> dimetric has irregular angles, and a scaling factor of 0.5 on the y axis
16:22:34 <petern> dimetric just means two of the angles are the same
16:22:47 <Cryloud> thats crap, i cant set any angles like that for the camera
16:23:07 <Cryloud> that projection must have a specific name
16:24:04 <Eddi|zuHause> petern: no, isometric means all axises(?) have the same scaling factors, dimetric means there are two different scaling factors, and trimetric means three different scaling factors
16:24:31 <Eddi|zuHause> has nothing to do with the angles
16:26:35 <petern> i'll stick with axonometric then :p
16:27:31 <planetmaker> axes of a coordinate system must not be parallel.

16:28:15 <Cryloud> oh man is that shitty :d
16:28:31 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: parallel projection does not mean the axes must be parallel. it means lines that are parallel in the 3d-model are also parallel in the projected model
16:28:45 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, yes, I know that :)
16:29:35 <Rubidium> the beauty of non-extra-zoom graphics is that it's (almost) unnoticable if you're a few degrees off, with those gigantic ones it becomes very noticable
16:32:02 <petern> hmm, planetmaker rounded pi incorrectly ;p
16:32:18 <petern> 3.1416, if you go to 4 digits
16:32:41 <petern> you know that 0.0001 of a degree makes a big difference ;)
16:32:51 <Eddi|zuHause> 3.1415926535898... everybody knows that...
16:33:01 <planetmaker> petern, depends upon.... your distance :)

16:33:23 <planetmaker> uh... fraction of an arc second

16:33:43 <DorpsGek> petern: 26.5650511771
16:34:12 <blathijs> Rubidium: More interestingly, is when will they stop calculation when not rounding pi? :-)
16:34:15 <Cryloud> masturbate is easier !
16:34:17 <planetmaker> @calc 0.0008 * 3600
16:34:26 <planetmaker> a whole whopping 3 arc seconds.
16:34:40 <petern> best solution: hand draw everything at the correct (i.e. original) size
16:34:44 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: if you are calculating astronomical distances, fraction of a parsec off is still quite some distance ;)
16:34:57 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, I'm well aware of that :P
16:35:12 <petern> Eddi|zuHause, and yet also an acceptable error margin
16:35:27 <frosch123> every good c program needs a "#define PI 3.14" at the top
16:35:31 <Cryloud> i didnt daved my house and have now a failure
16:35:33 <Rubidium> blathijs: in high school I was always allowed to answer pi/2 instead of 1.5.....
16:35:41 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, though at a parsec distance, an arc second difference is "only" 1.5e11 m off :)
16:35:54 <Eddi|zuHause> #define PI 3 /* 1 Kings 7:23 */
16:35:59 <petern> what is 'daving' a house?
16:36:10 <planetmaker> frosch123, that's very, very ugly and insufficient :)
16:36:30 <frosch123> planetmaker: I was talking about good c programs :)
16:36:34 <Cryloud> wow that piss me off now first error because i changed camera settings byebye building roflmao
16:36:38 <Ammler> make target bundle gone?
16:36:55 <planetmaker> uhm... "good" or good, frosch123 ? :P
16:37:15 <_ln> the fundamental problem with "#define PI 3.14" is that you cannot change the value of pi without recompiling.
16:37:51 <Eddi|zuHause> <frosch123> planetmaker: I was talking about good c programs :) <- you can say lots of stuff about the members of the empty set
16:38:16 <_ln> a modern application would allow chaning it run-time, perhaps fetching the value from some source online.
16:38:43 <Ammler> he just forgot to :/configure
16:39:23 <planetmaker> _ln, it's no problem to implement a routine to calculate the missing digits :)
16:39:50 <planetmaker> it exists a method to calculate the n-th digit without knowing all previous ones -iirc
16:39:56 <Eddi|zuHause> <digit>3</digit>
16:40:01 <Eddi|zuHause> <digit>1</digit>
16:40:03 <Ammler> couldn't make just "reconfigure" in those cases?
16:40:07 <Eddi|zuHause> <digit>4</digit>
16:40:40 <Eddi|zuHause> damn, must be <decimal/>
16:41:20 <_ln> planetmaker: but if the value of changes to e.g. 5.1415, in that case the online update would be useful.

17:26:14 <planetmaker> Cryloud, certainly not :)
17:26:19 <planetmaker> just count the pixels.
17:26:32 <planetmaker> it's really simple actually.
17:27:25 <planetmaker> whatever you measure anywhere - there's no way around denying that the tiles' borders have an angle of atan(0.5) with the horizontal line

17:40:56 <Eddi|zuHause> when i copy the stuff to the HD, it reads with ~2.1MB/s
17:41:16 <Prof_Frink> Because you need more laser power to write it, which makes it faster.

18:53:50 <Chicago_Rail_Authority> When creating a station layout, is it possible to assign 49 unique sprites to a 7x7 station? I'm starting over with trying to learn NFO, and am working with the Wiki, Forum searches, and a ridiculously generic *.pcx that I made with 49 numbered sprites...
18:54:21 <Chicago_Rail_Authority> Using GRFMaker, I've managed to get things off the ground, but am not seeing a way to get all 49 squares (I see an odd assortment of about 4 or 5 different tiles)
18:54:54 <frosch123> you are limited to 65536 different sprites per station
18:55:36 <Chicago_Rail_Authority> Thanks, frosch!

20:21:52 <dragonhorseboy> oh didn't realize there was a bot in here as well (I was thinking of patchbot :p )
20:22:52 <Nite_Owl> also you might want to ask your PBS question here
20:22:56 <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker..we'llsee
20:23:04 <dragonhorseboy> nite_owl..its not even the same pbs so? :P
20:23:34 <dragonhorseboy> nite_owl..yeah it can be a bit confusing..two different pbs systems
20:26:15 <Nite_Owl> no - between OpenTTD & TTDP
20:33:57 <dragonhorseboy> well if anyone here does know about pbs for the patch (rather than ottd's :p ) .. I'm wondering how long the reserved rail sections can be? (I'm sure it can be more than 2 tiles but..well just wondering what the limit actually was)
20:39:07 <dragonhorseboy> nite_owl you ever tried to make and manage a busy city rail station? :)
20:40:26 <dragonhorseboy> I used to .. crazy without pbs .. re all trains waiting each turn at the underused junction :)
20:43:16 <dragonhorseboy> nite_owl oh I do sometimes still use pbs on these certain mainline crossovers...
20:43:23 <Nite_Owl> either your junction was too big or you did not have enough platforms for the amount of trains or your trains were not spaced out enough
20:43:49 <dragonhorseboy> lets just say the northbount train passes by the southbound trains without any actual signals between the two lines at all :D
20:44:19 <dragonhorseboy> nite_owl.. nah with pbs the junction gets full with almost no trains waiting for long so, go figure with that
20:44:58 <dragonhorseboy> ah 64 tiles .. thats lot more than I thought .. thanks a lot nite_owl :D
20:45:32 <Nite_Owl> thank Rubidium not me
20:45:50 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd

20:47:10 <dragonhorseboy> eddi...sorry I just realized that now..sometimes when the room scrolls by fast I always assume the person I was talking to the most
20:47:17 <planetmaker> I don't see two names with same colour :)

20:50:39 *** [alt]buster is now known as [com]buster
20:52:09 <DaleStan> dragonhorseboy: There are actually two limits: PBS paths may be at most 64 tiles, of which at most 7 may be junction tiles.
20:53:37 <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds... limited...
20:54:05 <Eddi|zuHause> but maybe i'm just spoiled by YAPP's awesomeness ;)
20:55:43 <Nite_Owl> I was hoping DaleStan would chime in there
20:57:20 <DaleStan> It probably wouldn't be that hard to raise the 7, but raising it too much could cause stack overflow.
20:57:37 <dragonhorseboy> nah dalestan.. 7 is more than plenty
20:57:58 <Belugas> as long as it's not a steak over-burned...
20:57:59 <dragonhorseboy> imagine a junction that is 7x7 tiles large .. I mean who would actually do THAT completely unsignalled? :)
20:58:14 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe TTDP's small maps cause a generally more compact building style, so 7 tiles may be enough, i don't want to judge that
21:03:19 <petern> dragonhorseboy, saying "7x7" implies you've not understood the limits
21:05:19 <Eddi|zuHause> i count 11, anyone beat that?
21:06:08 <Rubidium> a crossing is a tile with 2 or more rail pieces, right?
21:06:44 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that was my assumption
21:06:56 <Eddi|zuHause> well, two non-parallel rail pieces
21:07:50 <Ammler> hmm, if I have a lag of around 10 secs, when I push Multiplayer to open the server lobby, is that again a fw issue
21:08:01 <Eddi|zuHause> hm, now i counted one with 15
21:09:02 <Eddi|zuHause> i could make a call-in show out of this, and earn millions...
21:12:43 <Xaroth> Ammler: i have that as well, but only when it tries to re-query the 'last server' entry

21:17:01 <Xaroth> i have a hunch it's got something to do with querying the server, as before it hangs it has no server info, just the ip, when it's not hanging anymore it has the server details
21:18:08 <dragonhorseboy> hmm yeah I did try a quick station setup (as if it could ever actually support busy large trains .. population is only 716, ha) and it looks possible to make a simple 3-platforms station that only need one enterance and one exit pbs signals for the mainline side
21:18:35 <dragonhorseboy> train only has to clear one tile of track out of platform to make it free for next pbs trains to enter same platform
21:18:59 <dragonhorseboy> I'll have to try make a scenario with a real city to try it out

21:26:56 <Eddi|zuHause> ET-87 i believe it's called

21:28:24 <dragonhorseboy> I always seem to build these so often for some reason :P
21:29:32 <dragonhorseboy> I do keep them short (so usually they rarely venture into the large cities unless its in middle of their run) because I find that otherwise they seem to have difficulity keeping up speed over up&down's associated with bridges and slight grades
21:29:49 <dragonhorseboy> usually 3 to 6 carriages I think it was
21:30:25 <dragonhorseboy> larger or more-frequently-stopping trains almost always get some good decidated locomotives of the BR1xx classes :)
21:31:13 <dragonhorseboy> starting with both single and doubleheaded BR112 up to TEE-painted BR160 hauled sets .. usually 11-20 carriages per train as if that tells you how much work they have cut out for them!
21:32:25 <Eddi|zuHause> hm, i can't find a picture of them... i only have a locomotive powered TEE set www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~krause/Ravenswald%20Transport,%2017.%20Okt%201981.png
21:33:06 <Eddi|zuHause> some electric ones as well
21:33:34 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm sure i had the turbine powered in this game, but i don't seem to have a picture

23:35:04 <Eddi|zuHause> common suggestion. basically impossible to do.
23:36:15 <Eddi|zuHause> the problem is not the programming, the problem is the graphics
23:36:27 <Eddi|zuHause> there are no "backside" views of most buildings
23:37:03 <SmatZ> use the "frontside" grphics :)
23:37:32 <Eddi|zuHause> this is not possible for buildings which have rectangular shape
23:37:46 <Eddi|zuHause> e.g. the bank (2x1), or the hotel (1x2)
23:38:14 <SmatZ> you have to "swap tiles" too
23:38:36 <SmatZ> but yes, it will be impossible for irregular shapes like rail stations
23:39:42 <Eddi|zuHause> you would at least have to dynamically calculate a vertically flipped view
23:40:05 <Eddi|zuHause> which might make writings appear in reverse
23:41:07 <kkb110> for the bank like 2x1, I think it can be done just by filliping the graphic left-right isn't it?

23:41:31 <capleton> don't switch the graphics, just switch the viewpoint
23:41:48 <capleton> allthough maybe awkward
23:42:11 <Eddi|zuHause> it would not. i explained some of the critical cases
23:42:41 <Eddi|zuHause> other examples are the airport buildings
23:42:48 *** HerzogDeXtEr1 has joined #openttd
23:42:49 <capleton> a flipped view would be really cool
23:42:53 <SmatZ> or steel mill, for example
23:42:57 <kkb110> oh I see airports right that's a problem
23:43:01 <capleton> yeah i see your point
23:43:57 <capleton> on a complete other subject, anyone of you a hockeyfan?
23:44:44 <capleton> ah, you're the PR man?
23:54:23 *** theholyduck has joined #openttd
