IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2009-10-27
⏴ go to previous day
00:01:13 <nicfer1> I've reinstaled it and followed the instructions but the command seems to be not recognized
00:01:43 <PeterT> ok, skip that direciton, go to the next and see what happens :)
00:02:14 <nicfer1> I can't compile wget after that
00:03:38 <nicfer1> althrough my processor is an amd athlon x2
00:04:01 <PeterT> I really don't know what to say...
00:04:19 <PeterT> did you get the versions mentioned on the wiki or newer versions?
00:05:41 <PeterT> I was actually just about to test MSYS on xp right now
00:05:47 <PeterT> on my brother's laptop
00:06:29 <nicfer1> I've installed mingw 5.1.6 since 5.1.4 tells me it's 'outdated'
00:07:13 <PeterT> I'm going to try updating on my bro's computer
00:07:26 <nicfer1> even if it's 'outdated'?
00:07:44 <PeterT> besides, you going to be using MSYS, not MinGW
00:07:52 <PeterT> even though mingw is compiling
00:08:39 <PeterT> the only thing that really matters is the svn version
00:10:54 <nicfer1> could I use tortoiseSVN instead of regular svn?
00:11:21 <PeterT> by the way, nicfer1, I'm really glad your taking the time to compile yourself, it's much less annoying than when users on tt-forums.net yell (metaphorically) "binaries!!"
00:11:56 <glx> but it's better to also install svn CLI, else svn detection doesn't work IIRC
00:12:07 <nicfer1> I just wanted to compile cargo distribution
00:13:07 <nicfer1> installed 5.1.4 and still no gcc
00:13:33 <PeterT> yes, he's entering gcc -v
00:14:28 <PeterT> did you mess up when directing msys to your mingw installation
00:14:42 <PeterT> (I just thought of it because I am doing it now)
00:15:11 <nicfer1> I've input c:\mingw at that point
00:15:39 <nicfer1> not, only that there was not make.exe in mingw
00:16:17 <PeterT> yes "keep it that way" or something like that?
00:16:39 <glx> open <mysy_install>\etc\fstab
00:17:01 <glx> and replace all \ with / in it
00:17:44 <nicfer1> yay, it was the \ thing
00:18:48 <glx> Please answer the following in the form of c:/foo/bar. <-- but it's clearly explained ;)
00:20:58 <PeterT> isn't "foobar" a person?
00:21:46 <glx> foo and bar are usual dev things
00:23:23 *** Rubix`` has joined #openttd
00:26:36 <PeterT> I'm testing MSYS with 5.1.6
00:33:15 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
00:49:47 <CaptObvious> is there documentation on the protocol that the openttd client uses to fetch server data like number of companies, players, current date etc?
00:51:51 <CaptObvious> that's not relavent
00:52:20 <FauxFaux> Ignoring the fact that it's a client that connects to the server to fetch data like companies, players, etc., you are correct.
00:54:02 <CaptObvious> FauxFaux - is that your git repository?
00:55:40 <Eddi|zuHause> of course there's the canonical documentation!
00:57:13 <Eddi|zuHause> it's called along the lines of "network.cpp" or something
00:57:31 <CaptObvious> that project is pretty much what I was wanting to code
00:57:38 <CaptObvious> so I'm gonna compile it and see if it works :P
01:03:30 <CaptObvious> except I'm a linux noob and can't figure it out :P
01:05:18 <Eddi|zuHause> ooh, xkcd in geocities look ;)
01:05:32 <CaptObvious> Eddi|zuHause - how's your linux-fu?
01:06:02 <Eddi|zuHause> how's your meta-question-fu?
01:06:20 <CaptObvious> I have that on my linux box, extracted into a folder
01:06:24 <Eddi|zuHause> and what's a fu anyway?
01:06:39 <CaptObvious> how do I go about compiling it?
01:06:50 <CaptObvious> Eddi|zuHause - it's a meme. like google-fu
01:07:07 <CaptObvious> originates from kung fu
01:08:28 <Eddi|zuHause> i'd start with the files "README" and "INSTALL"
01:08:50 <CaptObvious> readme is 0 bytes
01:08:57 <CaptObvious> install is the generic makefile one
01:10:35 <Eddi|zuHause> then run bootstrap
01:11:10 <Eddi|zuHause> # Run this to generate all the initial makefiles, etc.
01:11:38 <Eddi|zuHause> and beat up the guy for providing useless information
01:12:28 <CaptObvious> every time I've got something as source in linux before it has already got the makefile etc
01:12:40 <KenjiE20> isn't README independant of make, I'd do another git pull
01:13:08 <KenjiE20> or is it, just blank in git?
01:15:04 <KenjiE20> btw, you know Autopilot, will act as an IRC bridge without having to mod, right?
01:16:22 <CaptObvious> never heard of Autopilot
01:19:32 <CaptObvious> that looks perfect
01:19:43 <KenjiE20> heh, it's not, but it's close :P
01:20:13 <nicfer1> now I'm trying to patch the source code but I'm having issues
01:20:56 *** KenjiE20|LT has joined #openttd
01:22:35 <nicfer1> I right click on the ottd's sources folder then in the tortoisesvn submenu I click on 'Apply Patch', select the diff I'm looking for but both sides of the window appear in blank
01:22:57 <KenjiE20|LT> likely a path issue
01:23:29 <KenjiE20|LT> check the diff with notepad, or similar, and find the relative paths it's using
01:25:23 <nicfer1> the relative paths tell that they want to go at './../src/whatever'
01:26:08 <Eddi|zuHause> tortoisesvn is not able to handle all diff styles
01:26:18 <KenjiE20|LT> sounds odd, but the diff should be in src then
01:26:28 <KenjiE20|LT> ^ also what eddi said
01:27:55 <PeterT> patch -p0 -i patchfile.diff
01:28:11 <Eddi|zuHause> or -p1 if applicable
01:28:14 <PeterT> (well, first, change to the directory)
01:28:35 <nicfer1> where should be put the .diff file?
01:28:52 <PeterT> in the main directory where trunk is
01:37:04 <CaptObvious> okay Eddi|zuHause
01:37:32 <CaptObvious> trying to run autopilot, got the OTTD_CONFIG env variable set and it still gives me "couldn't open "openttd.cfg": no such file or directory"
01:38:29 <nicfer1> I had to place the diff on the trunk directory with the -p1 switch
01:38:46 <PeterT> did you download trunk revision 17837, or the latest?
01:38:50 <PeterT> it won't work with the latest
01:39:17 *** WilliamC has joined #openttd
01:39:55 <WilliamC> Is there a place that can tell me how to run OTTD behind a router for multiplayer games?
01:46:23 <PeterT> nicfer1, is it working?
01:47:32 <CaptObvious> okay, got that problem sorted, now I have a new one
01:54:06 <Eddi|zuHause> WilliamC: generally, you need to consult your router/firewall documentation on how to open ports
01:54:08 <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: OpenTTD uses TCP and UDP port 3979 for server <-> client communication and UDP port 3978 for masterserver (advertise) communication (outbound)

10:18:01 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
10:41:28 <schuay> on medium difficulty with breakdowns set to normal, the trains break down every 2 tiles or so, even when entering a depot every round.. what am i doing wrong?
10:41:58 <boekabart> very old, worn trains?
10:42:09 <dihedral> long long tracks not servicing enough?
10:42:14 <schuay> don't think so, it happens right at the beginning of the game
10:42:21 <dihedral> breakdowns set to reduced is touch enough actually
10:42:55 <boekabart> using a graphics set? (custom trains)
10:43:14 <schuay> nope, everything at default :(
10:43:37 <boekabart> sorry, you're right
10:44:02 <dihedral> other than perfect, it's my favorite thing to be :-D
10:44:21 <schuay> by the way, another simple question - what is 'servicing'? are trains serviced every time they enter the depot? or do they need specific orders to service?
10:49:48 <SmatZ> they are serviced when they enter a depot
10:50:11 <SmatZ> and you can use service orders to force visit in certain depot
10:57:20 *** boekabart has left #openttd
10:57:47 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
10:58:04 *** TheMask96 has joined #openttd
10:59:06 <Yexo> actually you use a goto-depot order to force visiting a depot and a "service at depot"-order when you only want the vehicles to go to the depot when they need servicing
11:04:28 <schuay> ah ok that makes sense - and is it better to use goto depot or service at depot?
11:04:55 <planetmaker> depends upon what you want :-)
11:09:17 <schuay> im not sure what i want.. i'm just glad i got signals figured out. sort of :)
11:10:18 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
11:10:54 <Yexo> it depends on how long your vehicle takes to finish all orders, if that's very long you might want to force a service (goto depot), if it's a very short time you'd use "service at depot" so the vehicle doesn't go to the depot every time but only when needed
11:13:44 <schuay> and "when they need servicing" is a fixed interval for every train?
11:16:02 <Yexo> you can change it in the vehicle details window
11:16:19 <Yexo> it's either a percentage of the maximum reliability or a fixed number of days

16:48:32 <joekeloekes> is there a way to ban ip ranges, it doesnt seem to like wildcards
16:49:00 <Rubidium> yes, use the CIDR notation
16:49:08 <Belugas> i've heard that it i using CIDR notation
16:50:03 <joekeloekes> hmm, heard the word, but dunno exactly how to. for banning the range 188.186.*.* would i have to ban something like 188.186.0/24.0/24 or so?
16:50:04 <Belugas> could be worse, you could by thirty
16:50:51 <joekeloekes> hmm ok, im going to try that to get rid of a frussian gang :)
16:51:14 <Eddi|zuHause> a friesian gang?
16:51:36 <Eddi|zuHause> are they that bad?
16:51:44 <joekeloekes> hehe, not frisian, cant say anything bad about them one of the admins on our server is from there
16:51:57 <joekeloekes> russian, thats just around the corner from there
16:52:45 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, the corner is called "Denmark" :p

20:20:05 <frosch123> it's written in the sign above it
20:20:32 <kannerke> it's no part of the struct station?
20:20:45 <Rubidium> something with GetString
20:21:18 <frosch123> grep for SCC_STATION_NAME
20:21:19 <Rubidium> like SetDParam(0, st->index); GetString(buffer, STR_JUST_STATION, lastof(buffer); or so
20:22:10 <glx> it's partly in the struct (but I don't remember how it's done for renamed stations)

20:31:31 <Rubidium> you have the cheat menu opened?
20:31:49 <rellig> ... without using a cheat?
20:32:06 <rellig> its in a multiplayer game, anyway
20:32:21 <Alberth> for non-primary industries, give it more materials that it needs
20:32:23 <frosch123> default industries?
20:32:33 <kannerke> getting the source, multiply the amount of generated cargo and compile ;o)
20:33:05 <Rubidium> kannerke: and whine to us that he or all his clients get kicked because they desync?
20:33:07 <rellig> should be easy if i know where i find this amount (my server is runing gentoo)
20:33:49 <kannerke> ah, for multiplayer, I overlooked that
20:34:10 <Rubidium> rellig: easy yes, wanted in a network game: no, primarily because people will get kicked because they haven't got the same modifications as you have
20:34:20 <rellig> its just some friends and me
20:34:29 <Belugas> your friends will desynch too
20:34:36 <rellig> and we want to start a new map now
20:34:39 <Alberth> rellig: all programs involved in a MP game must do exactly the same things all the times
20:35:14 <Alberth> ie your friends need the same modifed version them
20:35:21 <frosch123> anyway, default primary industries increase are more likely to increase production than decrease when serviced with a rating >= 60%
20:35:42 <frosch123> newgrfs may provide production boosting cargos and other stuff :p
20:35:45 <rellig> yeah, bit its still boring sometimes ...
20:37:02 <rellig> is it possible that the output amount was changed since 7.0?
20:37:20 <planetmaker> rellig, what time do you live in?
20:37:55 <planetmaker> what year do you write? ;-) "changed since 7.0?"
