08:13:58 <nonsensical> is there an easy reason why I can't build any of the new train engines? I could in my last game, and they've been invented, but they don't show up, such as the SH40 and SH30 Electric ones
08:15:34 <Forked> your depot is not electrified?
08:15:38 <Rubidium> electrification didn't hit your depots yet? You're playing in a climate without electric trains (tropic)?
08:19:21 <nonsensical> how do I get the depot electrified?
08:19:31 <nonsensical> one's several squares from a coal plant being fed coal
08:20:15 <Forked> you have to select the correct rail type
08:20:29 <Forked> same place you select maglev/mono .. the drop down list
08:27:08 <nonsensical> I see now, thanks :)
08:50:45 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
08:56:21 <nonsensical> this is probably a stupid question, but how do you build planes, there's no depots for planes
08:56:30 <nonsensical> I have two airports already
08:56:39 <Noldo> the hangar in the airport is a depot
08:56:43 <Eddi|zuHause> the hangars are on the airport

11:26:40 * Rubidium wonders who would think that merging IS with trunk would mean that you can load cargodist games in trunk
11:26:56 <Forked> at least one person it appears?
11:46:00 * Sacro hangs out in here with all the cool kids
11:46:30 <Rubidium> there are kids in here? Doesn't IRC require adulthood?

12:07:20 <Noldo> maybe it's copy-pasted from IS page
12:15:29 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
12:20:11 <fonsinchen> of course I meant older versions of cargodist ...
12:21:12 <fonsinchen> but thanks for the hint

13:35:15 <z3rongod> I've been here a few days ago asking for help with making a company value goal server
13:36:01 <Goulp> and did you get some help ?
13:36:15 <z3rongod> Didn't have time until today to get on my PC. In any case i was wondering if anyone can help make a hello world example
13:36:46 <z3rongod> In other words make a "/foo" and the server would print "hello world" in the chat
13:37:18 <Goulp> you have all stuff ready for compilling ?
13:37:50 <Noldo> you need that command to use in the autopilot to get the current companyvalue?
13:38:09 <z3rongod> As i recall you can't use autopilot to make a goal server
13:38:13 <dihedral> you highlighted me ^^
13:38:53 <z3rongod> OK ready when you are Goulp
13:39:25 <dihedral> z3rongod, makeing the server respond to chat can be done with autopilot
13:39:42 <z3rongod> But ending the game and declaring the winner?
13:39:49 <Goulp> dihedral: that's not the only thing to do...
13:39:54 <z3rongod> s/But/but what about *
13:39:58 <dihedral> however autopilot / ap+ / avignon are no substitution to making a fully functioning goal server
13:40:23 <dihedral> z3rongod, ending the game is kind of easy ^^
13:40:34 <dihedral> declaring a winner is not as easy
13:40:36 <z3rongod> so even if i code ottd i still need autopilot ?
13:41:14 <dihedral> unless you want to open another socket and controll the game through that
13:41:42 <dihedral> so that external apps use other resources for doing their processing, rather than hindering openttd from doing what it is supposed to do
13:42:10 <dihedral> however, with regards to goal servers, i doubt you will get propper support in here!
13:43:10 <dihedral> because it's nothing that helps
13:43:26 <dihedral> you simply heavily patch the server and end result can be quite annoying
13:43:46 <dihedral> i.e. end result being something like users who played on your server come here and complain that something did not work
13:43:50 <dihedral> and ho - it's not openttd's fault
13:44:05 <z3rongod> Don't think it will really be the case
13:44:16 <z3rongod> Not to mention that the server will be dedicated for Romanians only
13:44:38 <dihedral> you think there are no romanians with irc access? or who speak english??
13:44:55 <z3rongod> i think only 5 % of the romanian ottd players have come to this channel
13:45:55 <dihedral> and by that you safely assume that not a single one person would come here to report an issue he/she/it experienced??
13:47:04 <Noldo> dihedral: what do you mean by proper goal server?
13:47:06 *** Chris_Booth has joined #openttd
13:47:37 <dihedral> determin a 'winner' by some property not accessible from the console
13:47:57 <Noldo> sorry, 'fully functioning' was the term you used
13:48:05 <dihedral> pausing at certain game date in the middle of the year
13:48:26 <dihedral> s/year/year, month, week/
13:49:03 <z3rongod> dihedral if you want i'll print every year that #openttd does not offer support for this server / game mod
13:49:33 <dihedral> i do not really care what you do with your server ;-)
13:49:47 <z3rongod> But you did care about people not joining this channel
13:49:59 <z3rongod> And asking for support in the wrong place
13:50:11 <dihedral> i care to whom i give help
13:50:32 <dihedral> and you wanted to know why you would not receive as much support for what you strive to do
13:50:54 <z3rongod> problem resolved though :)
13:52:35 <dihedral> then congratulations and have fun!
13:53:14 <Noldo> what kind of information autopilot can get from the server?
13:54:49 <planetmaker> basically everything which is accessible via console command or the "usual" and debug output of openttd
14:03:31 *** eQualizer|dada has quit IRC
14:06:43 <Goulp> Hi Canada. is your weather nice overseas ?
14:09:55 <Belugas> it is STILL a nice weather
14:10:18 <Belugas> for the last... damned... i can't remember for how long it's been a nice one...
14:10:24 <Belugas> more than a week, i'd say
14:10:54 <Belugas> blue sky, above 0 celcius (some days WAY above)

16:44:37 <pw-> it took me until november of 2009 to find out about transport tycoon and openTTD, i'm a bit ashamed of myself ._.
16:45:04 <pw-> the game's like crack, though
16:45:10 <pw-> even though i still have no clue what i'm doing
16:45:39 <Rubidium> Sacro_: about time you told us about that
16:45:53 <pw-> i'm having trouble making trains carry anything, every time i make a train it's just the train bit, no train cars behind it
16:46:39 *** LordAzamath has joined #openttd
16:47:04 <pw-> ah, i have to make wagons! it's so simple!
16:47:25 <Sacro_> i was like that once :(
16:47:39 <pw-> i just found the game yesterday while looking for DOS games
16:47:52 <pw-> how i went from prince of persia to TTD i don't know, but i'm not regretting a thing
16:48:12 <Sacro_> i hate level was it 7?
16:48:23 <Sacro_> where you ran all the way along the bottom to the right
16:48:29 <Sacro_> and then back to the left
16:48:35 <Sacro_> and then get stabbed by a purple dude

16:50:29 <dihedral> pw- try flightgear :-)
16:52:34 <pw-> i will in a few weeks, dihedral, i'm all about TTD right now
16:52:55 <pw-> or, OpenTTD, rather, since TTD refuses to read my HDD, making it impossible for me to save

16:56:39 <Luukland> Hunting season over :P
16:57:13 <Nite_Owl> All endangered species thank you
16:57:28 <pw-> i played the hell out of RCT in 1998, how did i not find out about TTD? =(
16:57:32 <pw-> so many years of my life wasted
17:00:21 *** Rhamphoryncus has joined #openttd
17:06:22 *** worldemar has joined #openttd
17:10:07 <pw-> i just made my first successfull coal run!
17:11:51 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
17:12:11 <pw-> i built a train station next to a coal mine but it still says "accepts: nothing"
17:12:14 <pw-> how would i rectify this?
17:13:05 <pw-> how would i haul coal to this power plant, then? =\
17:13:27 <Rhamphoryncus> hit the supplies button to see what the station supplies
17:13:42 <glx> coal mine never accept stuff, they provide coal
17:13:43 <Rhamphoryncus> Well, except it won't show up there until the first time you load it
17:13:45 <Nite_Owl> coal stations accept nothing but supply coal
17:19:27 <petern> a) Data from card is 5B Hex (01011011 binary);
17:19:27 <petern> b) Extract the first nibble (0101) 05 Hex;
17:19:27 <petern> c) For values less than or equal to 09 Hex add 30 Hex giving 05 + 30 = 35 Hex;
17:19:27 <petern> d) Extract the second nibble (1011) 0B Hex;
17:19:27 <petern> e) For values greater than 09 Hex add 37 Hex giving 0B + 37 = 42 Hex;
17:19:29 <petern> f) 35 Hex is the character ‘5’ and 42 Hex is ‘B’ so 5B Hex becomes ‘5B’ as characters.
17:19:36 <petern> this is simplified somewhat to:

17:23:18 <Nite_Owl> <Rhamphoryncus> "Well, except it won't show up there until the first time you load it" unless you set the advanced option that disables that behavior
17:24:25 <Nite_Owl> true but they are valuable details
17:25:30 <Nite_Owl> especially if, like me, you dislike that behavior

18:01:09 <Rhamphoryncus> eh, I use cargodist, but I wrote my own patch so I could ignore timetables
18:05:00 *** De_Ghosty has joined #openttd
18:09:25 <petern> ignore? does something force you to use theM?
18:10:08 <Luukland> theM? does something force you to say theM?
18:10:30 <frosch123> M is the common part of AM and PM
18:10:55 <Forked> and lets not forget a most important part of
18:12:17 <Nite_Owl> Are timetables not an integral part of the cargodist patch ??

18:54:35 <Rhamphoryncus> Not as pretty as a timetable.. I should figure out which has a faster time though

21:19:43 <Ammler> Rubidium: did you find a way around the bug we had on the time you removed pause thing?
21:21:00 <Ammler> it worked quite nice like it was now.
21:22:41 <frosch123> Ammler: it is all different now, you have to test from scratch
21:22:59 <Ammler> well, we have to see, how it works if you manually unpause when min_active_clients does pause.
21:24:30 <Ammler> if it does ignore the min_active_clients settings, I would like to request a switch to disable the unpause ;-)

21:35:35 <Muxy> Sacro: anyway, it will make laugh a lot of people
21:36:43 <Rubidium> Ammler: you (still) can't override min_active_clients with unpause
21:36:57 <Muxy> and it seems to be already in google.fr
21:38:35 <Muxy> BUt has been identified as an irish fake
21:38:44 <Rubidium> and unpause will more or less tell you that
21:39:17 <Rubidium> you can however manually pause with min_active_clients and when there are enough active clients it will stay paused until you do unpause
21:46:07 <Ammler> sounds nice, we used alias for !pause and !unpause (changing min_active_clients) to have the same effect.

23:51:42 <TinoDidriksen> Oh, so that was just coincidental.
23:52:23 <Eddi|zuHause> it's basically between the german wikipedia and the german blogosphere, and started as a discussion about criteria for "relevance"
23:54:20 <Eddi|zuHause> it's been escalating over the past few weeks now...
23:55:16 <Eddi|zuHause> critisizing the internal structure of wikipedia-administration
23:55:52 <Eddi|zuHause> and one part standing in the room is a threat to fork wikipedia with a useful versioning structure (git-based)
23:58:01 <Eddi|zuHause> and there was a statement from wikimedia: "we don't see this whole discussion as a problem, as long as the donations are coming in"
23:58:37 <Eddi|zuHause> and apparently today there was a huge wave of "i reduce my [regular] donation from 20€ to 1€" donations
