00:44:22 <pw-> they constantly go where i don't want them to
00:46:18 <pw-> waypoints are beyond my knowledge at the moment
00:46:35 <pw-> i have it set up like such:
00:46:56 <pw-> the train meant to go from A to B constantly ends up between B and C somehow
00:47:54 <MyCatVerbs> What orders did you give the train?
00:48:07 <MyCatVerbs> I presume that your tiny ASCII diagram is of how the track is laid out?
00:48:36 <pw-> the train breaks down constantly closer to B than A
00:48:55 <pw-> and there is a repair station between all three letters
00:49:09 <pw-> so it goes to the one between B and C because it's closer to where it broke down, or something
00:49:14 <pw-> or it's going for inspection
00:50:03 <pw-> i doubled the B station and made the B-C connection pull up to a different terminal
00:50:05 <Eddi|zuHause> pw-: try a "service at depot" option
00:50:19 <Eddi|zuHause> then it only ever uses that depot, no others
00:50:52 <Eddi|zuHause> use the "go to" button, and Ctrl+Click on the depot
00:53:06 <Chrill> Are you an insane nutter? Are you interested in the planned logistics game P1Sim? Are you a fish? Join #P1Sim today!!
00:53:39 <Chrill> It felt as though such a message would generate interesty
00:53:51 <TinoDidriksen> Well, that's one channel added to my block list.
00:54:06 <JVassie> TinoDidriksen, thats a very immature attitude
00:54:12 <TinoDidriksen> So is spamming.
00:54:22 <JVassie> spamming is an attitude now?
00:59:20 <TinoDidriksen> I don't actually have a block list, but I do feel it could have been announced in a better way that was less spammy...
01:00:45 <Chrill> Indeed, but it's 2am and we're tired and I think there's nothing wrong with some fun
01:03:37 <Eddi|zuHause> any message like this, that does not contain a personal component ["hey, i found this funny game:"] is automatically caught as spam
01:03:59 <Chrill> How was my first message NOT containing a personal component?
01:04:28 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't see the word "I" in there...
01:05:12 <Chrill> 3rd time lucky, you know!
01:05:16 <Eddi|zuHause> plus, you could have said something about how an openttd-interested person might be interested in this game
01:05:47 <Chrill> Why are you guys analyzing the way I advertised this, instead of just laughing at the way it was done..? It's not the end of the world, now is it :P
01:05:49 <Eddi|zuHause> in a way that it's a less /amsg-y one liner
01:06:15 *** lobstar has joined #openttd
01:14:27 <TinoDidriksen> Something like "I started this project: URLs and #channel -- what do you guys think about it?" to invite direct critique and comments.
01:14:52 <Chrill> I did not start it though
01:15:33 <Chrill> I'm not a developer or a graphics artist either

01:29:38 *** KenjiE20|LT has joined #openttd
02:00:07 <pw-> two of my trains seem to have detatched from the wagons
02:00:39 <pw-> i can't call them back to the service station because they won't move, and i can't destroy the track because the train is in the way
02:01:16 <Eddi|zuHause> post the savegame to bugs.openttd.org, stating which version you play
02:17:59 <pw-> bah, registration is down on the bug site
02:31:23 *** Rubix`` has joined #openttd
04:42:34 <pw-> can i transport goods using a combination of vehicles?
04:42:49 <pw-> for example, use a truck to drive it to a train station, which takes it to a dock, etc?
05:07:41 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
05:56:34 <Rhamphoryncus> pw-: a transfer order does that
05:59:14 <Rhamphoryncus> Open up the orders dialog, then select one of the orders. Hit the dropdown for "unload all" and select "transfer"
05:59:46 <Rhamphoryncus> You probably also want to set the "full load" dropdown to "no loading"
06:01:29 <Rhamphoryncus> Otherwise they might pick it back up again
06:28:59 <pw-> are there any planes that can carry oil?

09:57:01 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe everything but the cake is the lie?
09:57:46 <Rubidium> but... but... then you statement might be a lie and the cake is the lie or this statement is a lie... waaahh... [stack overflow]
09:59:17 <petern> but the cake wasn't a lie

10:51:59 *** Johnmit has joined #openttd
10:55:53 *** Bernoilli has joined #openttd
10:56:20 <Bernoilli> Hello, is it possible to build Openttd Goal server with autopilot?
10:56:51 <Johnmit> be there german speakers here?
10:57:32 <Noldo> Bernoilli: depends on the specifics
10:58:29 <Bernoilli> is a "goal server" not specific enough?
10:59:37 <Noldo> autopilot can fetch some information from the server, if goals are based on that information and it's ok that it is only checked every game month or so then it should be doable
11:00:07 <Noldo> "goal server" is quite generic term, atleast to me
11:00:23 <Bernoilli> which part dont you understand?
11:00:28 <Bernoilli> the "goal" or the "server"?
11:03:38 <Bernoilli> A goal or objective is a projected state of affairs
11:04:00 <Bernoilli> In this case, some variables which can be reached ingame
11:04:06 <Noldo> and you think that definition is "specific" ?
11:05:00 <Noldo> weather it can be done with trunk openttd server and autopilot depends on the goals
11:05:33 <Bernoilli> I prefer to use Stable, or else ppl will start to report bugs which doesn't excist
11:06:08 <Noldo> if the goals are based on information the autopilot can't fetch from unmodified openttd server the it can't be done without modifying openttd
11:06:52 <Bernoilli> modifing the source you mean?
11:08:04 <Bernoilli> ok thank you very much

14:11:37 <Belugas> good <your part of the day>, Noldo
14:18:39 <Noldo> thanks, it's about 16:18 so I'd call it an evening, it's already dark
14:18:42 <Fast2> Good afternoon Noldo (CTCP time :))
14:20:33 <Fast2> You were idle for about ten minutes, but you write your time just in the moment I look it up.
14:21:53 *** alexc is now known as Alexc
14:22:36 <Rubidium> Fast2: CTCP doesn't help very much in distinguishing between afternoon and evening
14:23:03 <Fast2> It tells you the local time.
14:23:36 <Eddi|zuHause> Fast2: but, for example, not the local daylight status
14:24:13 <Rubidium> but 16:18 doesn't tell much about whether it's afternoon or evening (afternoon: noon till sunset, evening: sunset till bed time)
14:25:16 <Paul2> Personally I dont think that applies tbh
14:25:21 <Paul2> Well not in the UK at least
14:25:31 <Fast2> Evening is after about 18 to 20 o'clock

14:26:44 <Fast2> Rubidium: I take the time, not the state of the sun.
14:28:28 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: what about the time between sunrise and bed time?
14:29:00 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: then you're screwed!, according to Merriam-Webster
14:29:36 <Fast2> Eddi|zuHause: Sunrise is " Sonnenaufgang", isn't it?
14:30:53 <Rubidium> Oxford's dictionary seems to imply evening is from dusk till bedtime, although usually it's used for 'after 6pm'... since they deprecated sundials :(
14:31:24 <Fast2> Eddi|zuHause: Then I wold call it "day". ;)

16:43:07 <pw-> is there a "replace all old cars with new" option? this one by one thing is tedious
16:43:12 <pw-> and i don't mean upgrade to a newer model
16:43:17 <pw-> i mean remake the same car
16:44:06 <Eddi|zuHause> under advanced settings->vehicles->autorenew when old
16:44:16 <pw-> i just manually cloned and deleted like 40 cars one by one ='(
16:45:07 <Eddi|zuHause> and there is also an option to replace to a newer model ;(
16:45:10 <Alberth> there is also a 'sell all vehicles in the depot' button
16:47:26 <pw-> man, this made my life way easier

20:34:40 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
20:38:50 <mynetdude> quick question, is there a cheat for players to be able to override town authority other than planting trees and bribing?
20:39:16 <mynetdude> I did a search on the forums, there's a lot of info that doesn't exactly relate
20:40:00 <Alberth> there is a magic bulldozer if you want to remove stuff
20:41:31 <mynetdude> nah want to be able to add stuff
20:41:34 <mynetdude> the town wont' let me
20:41:52 <mynetdude> yeah I'm aware of the magic bulldozer unfortunately doesn't do what I want
20:43:07 <Alberth> there is a setting for how relaxed they should be, but that only goes up to 'permissive'. Other than that, I don't know any other ways besides waiting
20:43:45 <Alberth> ie go play with the neighbouring town instead :)
20:46:11 <mynetdude> ah was hoping there was a cheat, and again familiar with the settings switches as well. I read something else that might help thanks :)
20:50:40 * mynetdude sighs none of the tricks help
21:06:43 <mynetdude> how do I use a .patch file?
21:07:22 <Alberth> download the sources, apply the patch, compile, run the program
21:08:32 <Alberth> Most of it is extensively discussed at the forums and/or the wiki
21:09:15 <mynetdude> what sources? I downloaded the .patch file shouldn't everything I need be there or what?
21:09:24 <mynetdude> ok I'll check them out later
21:09:28 <Alberth> the sources of the program
21:09:44 <mynetdude> oh, so the patch itself does not contain the source... ok that makes absolutely no sense
21:09:45 <Alberth> the .patch only contains how to make changes.
21:10:04 <Alberth> open it with an editor.
21:10:21 <Alberth> lines with a - should be deleted, lines with a + should be added
21:11:55 <mynetdude> blah this is more complicated than I want... at least I tried.. thanks again Alberth
21:11:57 <Rubidium> and patches for OpenTTD contain the description for changes to the source code

21:56:20 <Rubidium> Delphi has a linker?
21:56:47 <Belugas> yup. but Delphi is not my chair :)
22:01:22 <Uresu> Hi all, does anyone know what I might have done wrong to leave me in a situation wher the only train I have available to buy is a "SH 40" at a massive £299 964.00
22:02:15 <Rubidium> you started with newgrfs and then removed them?
22:02:39 <Uresu> (sorry I have only been playign a day)
22:02:50 <glx> or it's very late and you still don't use monorail or maglev
22:03:04 <Rubidium> glx: shouldn't asiastar survive then?
22:03:07 <Uresu> Ahh, that sounds more likely
22:04:02 <glx> Rubidium: maybe :) (I play very very rarely and not without newgrf)
22:05:23 <Uresu> Hmm, I just upgraded a section to maglev and the trains cost (from) £701,069.00 !
22:05:34 <Uresu> I must have done something wrong in this game :(
22:05:53 <Rubidium> nah, inflation is probably turned on
22:06:21 <Uresu> Well in that case I lose the game as I don't have that money.
22:07:03 <andythenorth> gah, I just lost the game :x
22:07:17 <Rubidium> in my game the cheapest maglev is ~2.4 million pounds
22:07:21 <Belugas> time to gooooooooooooooooooo now bye
22:07:25 <Uresu> Well, I almost the entire!

23:06:28 <Rubidium> that reminds me of "Chuck vs the Predator"
