08:12:40 <SirSquidness> Care to join me in making some noise?
08:14:21 <planetmaker> pssst! You may wake the lions.
08:14:29 <planetmaker> And then the crying starts...
08:19:34 <dihedral> what if that lion was in that car too?
08:19:52 <dihedral> then at least all the blood would not squirt all over the place
08:20:05 <dihedral> and your germs would remain 'contained'
08:21:22 <SirSquidness> this is a good point, dihedral
08:21:29 <SirSquidness> I hadn' tconsidered that possibility
08:21:51 <SirSquidness> but I dare say if a Lion was in my car, it would have great trouble moving about trying to bite my head off
08:21:54 <SirSquidness> due to it's size.
08:23:09 <dihedral> i think you would have more trouble :-P
08:23:20 <dihedral> either side of a big cat aint that nice
08:26:39 <dihedral> SmatZ, pretty bad once lions taste human flesh
08:27:20 <dihedral> it's sweeter than other meat, and lions tend to then try to get hold of more human flesh
08:27:58 <dihedral> bite your finger, then go to a cow and bite it's arse :-D
08:28:23 <dihedral> not 'byte' you'll miss the chunk after some time :_D
08:32:45 * SirSquidness sniggers at dihedral's lame joke
08:33:35 <dihedral> i am disappointed with the forums :-(
08:33:41 <dihedral> they are not what they used to be :-P
08:36:29 <SirSquidness> I can't say I have an opinion on this matter.
08:36:37 <SirSquidness> I don't even have an account there :p
08:37:45 <dihedral> dont think it would make an improvement
08:39:09 <petern> slow shit pc is slow shit
08:41:06 <SirSquidness> obvious statement is obvious?
08:43:42 <Noldo> redundancy is redundant
08:49:13 <SirSquidness> unless the primary service has died, and fallen over to the redundant service, in which case teh redudancy is no longer redundant.

17:56:13 <COLDICE> is there is any way to replace airplanes with same model after there life
17:58:00 <COLDICE> ok thanks, let me check
18:02:31 <COLDICE> Rubidium in multiplayer, do autorenew patch have to set on server or if it enables in client than it will work for that client
18:03:16 <Rubidium> it's a per company setting

19:20:33 <Ammler> Rubidium: nice support on COLDICE :-)
19:21:25 <Ammler> you make user expect, they can join ask get the answer and leave ;-)
19:22:07 <Rubidium> *everybody* leaves after they get their question answered
19:22:31 <alloc> how do I make my own map?
19:22:37 <Ammler> Rubidium: you meant "should" ?
19:22:53 *** Ammler was kicked by Rubidium (no)
19:23:40 <Ammler> he, indeed, worked :-D
19:24:08 *** rortom was kicked by Rubidium (twenty seconds before your kick)
19:24:57 <Sacro> will i get kicked if i ask a question?

19:31:29 <petern> at least i was only one revision out when i did it ;)
19:32:13 <glx> so we should reserve r16883 to readd the bug :)
19:32:37 <Rubidium> guess I need glasses; those 6s and 8s look so much alike
19:36:44 <Belugas> heheh.. like my boss who mixes up "cottage" with "cctagp1"
19:39:01 <Rubidium> or should I blame it on (number) dyslexia?

19:44:32 <Ammler> Rubidium: station teleport?
19:49:42 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:49:45 <petern> what's a station teleport?
19:50:10 <Belugas> a station that moves back in forth in time, it's part of the project Darma

19:52:42 *** andytheni has left #openttd
19:55:03 <Belugas> what amazes me, as the series progress,is the complexity of the story. I really hope the ending will be as impressive as the build up

19:55:52 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: rubidium * r16694 /trunk/src/ (13 files in 2 dirs):
19:55:52 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: -Fix [FS#2995] (rgradual loading, rnewindustries): only pay for whatever has been actually unloaded and perform the payment when unloading has finished. This fixes, amongst others:
19:55:52 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: * cheating by starting to unload and after getting paid rushing to the depot to get sold (or unloading, loading and getting paid again for the remainder)
19:55:52 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: * cargo being dropped onto a station at the moment a stockpiling industry doesn't accept it anymore
19:55:54 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: * industries getting cargo that has not been unloaded yet and subsequently dumping it back on the station in one go
19:55:54 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: Note: you will now get paid after the unloading has finished, so you'll have to wait a bit longer for 'your' money.
19:57:40 <Rubidium> my CFLAGS don't have -pedantic
19:58:30 <petern> obviously Ammler has a different unreported cheat in mind
20:00:25 <Ammler> petern: you self reported it :P
20:01:04 <Ammler> at least you complained once about here...
20:01:59 <petern> are you referring to the possibilities opened up by distant join?
20:02:37 <Ammler> no, that was possible before, just easier now.
20:03:06 <petern> because i'd rather get blood out of a stone than eke a sensible response from you
20:03:22 <Rubidium> Ammler: that's something that 'can' be easily resolved by disallowing distant join and non-uniform stations
20:03:23 <Ammler> the problem is, it pays for the distance between stations signs., instead of nearest station tile.
20:03:28 <Rubidium> or reducing the station spread
20:04:41 <Ammler> yes, the Goal server had a spread of 8 :-)
20:05:47 <Ammler> we used 12 for competive games.
20:07:45 <Ammler> hmm, non-uniform might be an idea to try on next game.
20:09:04 <LadyHawk> cheating by starting to unload and after getting paid rushing to the depot to get sold (or unloading, loading and getting paid again for the remainder)
20:09:24 <LadyHawk> lol, if that was a cheat i'm afraid i'm guilty
20:14:12 <LadyHawk> i used to let trains get paid before sending them to train heaven
20:14:52 <Korenn> LadyHawk: the cheat was to send the train to depot before it was fully unloaded, but after you got paid.
20:15:14 <LadyHawk> train arrives, gets paid, starts unloading but the depot order makes it go
20:15:23 <Korenn> ok. it's not much of an exploit for human players, but AI can do it for every single vehicle :P
20:15:23 <LadyHawk> then you can skip orders and repeat
20:16:04 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
20:16:18 <LadyHawk> too much hassle to do for 1 train, let alone for 3
20:16:46 <Korenn> imagine an AI doing it with 400 trucks, all the time. That's Rondje om de kerk-AI ;)
20:17:10 <Ammler> [22:15] <LadyHawk> then you can skip orders and repeat <-- did you get paid again?
20:17:23 <LadyHawk> i always let it return to the loading station
20:17:56 <LadyHawk> fills up the cars and changes whatever it is so it thinks the train has only just fully loaded itself
20:18:01 <Ammler> what happened with the cargo you have still loaded?
20:18:09 <Korenn> ammler: it would get overwritten
20:18:11 <LadyHawk> the old car data gets 'overwritten'
20:18:49 <LadyHawk> cuz trains happened to unload a little bit from ALL cars at same time
20:18:56 <Rubidium> cargo that was loaded and 'paid for' would stay 'paid for' as long as it remained in the vehicle
20:18:57 <LadyHawk> instead of 1 car at a time
20:18:59 <Ammler> but it means, it get full again very fast
20:19:14 <Rubidium> loading anything extra into the vehicle won't change the 'paid for' status
20:19:21 <Korenn> Rubidium: but as soon as you loaded a bit of extra cargo, those flags were overwritten, in older versions
20:19:35 <LadyHawk> guess i musta been out of the loop too long as well
20:19:45 <LadyHawk> last time i sat in this channel was years ago
20:20:01 <Rubidium> Korenn: older as in before 0.6
20:20:08 <LadyHawk> Ammler wasn't even here yet =P

20:40:23 <dpaanlka> Hello! I'm trying to start a dedicated server from the Mac OS X command line.
20:40:51 <dpaanlka> Version 0.7.1. Anyways, instead of doing what it used to do, it's launching the OpenTTD application (gui version) and then gives me the cannot find sample.cat error
20:41:03 <dpaanlka> I'm typing ./openttd -D and also doing that as a sudo
20:41:11 <Belugas> do you have that file?
20:41:22 <dpaanlka> I can play the game fine if I just launch OpenTTD in Mac OS X normally
20:41:35 <dpaanlka> Also, it is doing this on two different computers of mine.
20:41:38 <Belugas> oh... Mac OS... sorry, cannot help
20:41:46 <Eddi|zuHause> can you try with -d misc=3 and tell what it thinks the personal dir is?
20:42:20 <dpaanlka> That returned a lot of lines which am I looking for?
20:42:45 <dpaanlka> Oh... /Users/dpaanlka/Documents/OpenTTD
20:42:52 <dpaanlka> Is that where the cat file and stuff should be?
20:42:59 <dpaanlka> Because right now it's just in a "Data" folder in the applicaiton folder
20:43:15 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, try to put it there
20:43:46 <dpaanlka> I don't remember ever having to do that before?
20:43:57 <Eddi|zuHause> i can't help with that... ;)
20:44:08 <dpaanlka> Like, perhaps that changed in 0.7.x?
20:44:26 <Eddi|zuHause> it shouldn't have changed since 0.6
20:44:51 <planetmaker> dpaanlka: :( you didn't read my answer in the forums... :(
20:44:58 <dpaanlka> Oh, I must have just missed it
20:45:26 <planetmaker> I tell you exactly that: use your personal ~/Documents/OpenTTD/data folder for the files :)
20:45:42 <dpaanlka> I don't see any such response to my thread
20:46:30 <planetmaker> hm... I don't either now. I'm positive I posted... Maybe my wifi ate it. Nvm and sorry then.
20:46:43 <dihedral> whats with the /Library/Application Support/OpenTTD/data folder?
20:46:45 <dpaanlka> in any case thanks guys that was really befuddling me the past few days
20:46:49 <dihedral> i use that on my mac
20:47:10 <dpaanlka> I've always ptu the data folder next to OpenTTD.app in it's folder in the applications folder and that worked fine before
20:47:20 <planetmaker> dpaanlka: the readme tells you to use ~/Documents/OpenTTD/data
20:47:42 <dpaanlka> If it does, it probably didn't the last time i looked at it like four years ago lol
20:47:43 <planetmaker> That way you also don't need to copy it for several installs.
20:47:45 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
20:48:10 <dpaanlka> does this also apply to scripts and the cfg file?
20:49:08 <dpaanlka> Also, one more question... how do I kill the server in mac OS X/
20:51:09 <Belugas> easier, unplug the machine ^_^
20:51:33 <Belugas> and mostly, don't listen to me when i'm listening to me
20:54:42 * petern unplugs Belugas from his work
20:54:43 *** tux_mark_5 has joined #openttd
20:54:48 <DorpsGek> rortom: yorick was last seen in #openttd 2 days, 11 hours, 21 minutes, and 1 second ago: <yorick> I fixed it :)
20:55:35 <Eddi|zuHause> nobody ever warned you to not speak with yorick? :p
20:59:05 *** Dred_furst has joined #openttd
21:06:08 <Belugas> but youth... what can I say...
21:06:26 <Belugas> petern, you did not unplugged hard enough
21:07:40 <petern> well, bed time i think
21:08:04 <andythenorth> I have slaved some more over hot pixels. The work is never done it seems:
21:09:13 <Korenn> why is the grass blue?
21:09:53 <Hirundo> The grass pixels crashed and are showing a blue screen
21:11:30 <andythenorth> only 39 industries left to draw...
21:11:46 <Korenn> O.o I thought the number was lower before?
21:12:44 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
21:13:03 <andythenorth> well there are the 14 industries that Simon Foster drew for original TTD. We can reuse those for a while. But ultimately they might need redrawn...
21:13:17 <andythenorth> However that does only leave 25 to draw immediately
21:14:06 <rortom> that happened quite some time ago ...
21:14:59 <andythenorth> (correction) 14 that I want to use
21:15:00 <Belugas> there are 37 original industries
21:15:07 <planetmaker> nice survey camp, andythenorth :)
21:15:27 <Belugas> the system can handle up to 64 with grfs
21:16:37 <andythenorth> Belugas: do we have crossed wires? :) I am drawing 57 industries for FIRS, with 7 slots left free for add ons ;)
21:17:12 <andythenorth> Some days I wish I was drawing 1 industry with 63 slots left free for add ons
21:17:50 <petern> "the 14 industries that Simon Foster drew for original TTD" < not crossed, just vagueness ;)
21:18:23 <andythenorth> Wonder where Simon Foster is? His site is down it seems
21:18:36 <andythenorth> oh, it's back again
21:19:25 <Belugas> i don't have wires. I have strings.
21:21:39 <andythenorth> Looks like Simon Foster is in Newcastle
21:40:06 *** dpaanlka has joined #openttd
21:40:14 <dpaanlka> Hello, I've returned with a few other questions.
21:40:34 <dpaanlka> One of which is, I'm familiar with the way to change a client's name via a console command and rcon
21:40:44 <dpaanlka> However, I was hoping there was also a way to change a company name?
21:41:35 <dpaanlka> I wonder why that is.
21:41:55 <dihedral> if you need to change the company name, you can join the game, move yourself to that company, and change it
21:43:09 <dpaanlka> It'd just be a bit more convenient I think in console.
21:43:39 <dihedral> it's not needed very often ist it?
21:43:43 <rasco> is there any way to lower the passenger count? i already have very small towns.
21:44:00 <dihedral> blow up some houses?
21:44:04 <planetmaker> rasco: use a different building newgrf
21:44:35 <rasco> planetmaker: thanks for that hint. i didn't know building-grfs changed population counts.
21:44:37 <Ammler> rasco: early houses .grf :-)
21:45:10 <rasco> hope those grfs are in bananas
21:45:23 <Ammler> not for stable openttd :-)
21:45:25 <planetmaker> hm... not all building newgrfs are there
21:45:40 <planetmaker> get the #openttdcoop newgrf package. It has some more.
21:45:56 <rasco> about that package by the way
21:45:57 <planetmaker> I dunno anymore which add how many people to houses
21:46:02 <Ammler> planetmaker: he wants less :P
21:46:09 <planetmaker> Ammler: or remove :P
21:46:25 <planetmaker> IIRC playing with TTRS gives you big numbers of people
21:46:28 <rasco> it looks like it's uploaded to bananas, but i can't get the included grfs from there
21:46:51 <rasco> the big numbers of passengers are quite lame for planes :/
21:46:57 <planetmaker> rasco: download from ingame, using the content download button
21:47:17 <planetmaker> if you cannot download it from ingame you cannot use it anyway.
21:47:28 <planetmaker> (if it's up on bananas at all that is)
21:47:36 <rasco> it seems to be uploaded wrongly
21:47:39 <Ammler> I once made a airmod.grf, which rises the loading time
21:47:51 <rasco> Ammler: i had the same idea too
21:48:10 <rasco> whats your best solution for planes yet?
21:48:36 <Ammler> or reduce them to very few
21:48:51 <rasco> what about higher running costs?
21:49:08 <Ammler> well, that is very hard to handle
21:49:23 <Ammler> basecosts does rise that.
21:49:45 <Ammler> it might be well at early years, but later you should again rise
21:50:16 <rasco> yea, either the modern planes are totally overpowered or the old planes are totally useless
21:50:30 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
21:51:46 <Ammler> speak with the grf devs about, maybe the can "fix" the set
21:51:50 <rasco> OR the modern planes are too expensive and the old ones are even uslesser :)
21:52:13 <Ammler> making a openttd edition
21:53:15 <Ammler> dunno, if the plane speed factor is accessable from newgrfs
21:54:24 <Korenn> rasco: you could also lower the base price of passenger cargo
21:55:01 <Rubidium> Ammler: you can get the plane speed factor from NewGRFs
21:55:38 <Ammler> rasco: ^ , so it "should" be doable to balance them
21:55:41 <rasco> Korenn: is that only possible via a grf or can i also compile a custom network server with it?
21:56:35 <Korenn> no, but it shouldn't be hard to write yourself. it's only 1 line
21:56:36 <Ammler> hmm, cargo payment is the save, afaik
21:56:41 <Rubidium> 'only' thing is that plane speed '3' isn't/can't be mapped correctly
21:56:43 <rasco> yea, some known set of balanced planes<->other vehicles would be good to have for openttd
21:56:52 <Ammler> so you could do it with server "hacking"
21:58:17 <Ammler> but then you would also have lower earnings for trains and rvs, do you want that?
21:58:41 <Ammler> so your game is again "unbalanced"
22:01:25 <rasco> i guess best solution would be to have pikka make a openttd variant of av8 :)
22:01:55 <Rubidium> Ammler: callback 39h maybe?
22:02:24 <Ammler> rasco: or use 1/4 speed
22:02:41 <Ammler> well, it does earn too much with 1/4 speed, either
22:03:57 <rasco> Ammler: been there, but it's just so weird some seeing planes going slower than slow trains
22:04:32 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
22:05:00 <rasco> and also, oldskool planes are very useless then
22:05:02 <Ammler> rasco: that was the reason for the 1/1 patch ;-)
22:10:04 <rasco> afk cooking something out of random stuff that's left
22:11:50 <Belugas> fack feck fick fock fuck
