IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2010-02-05
⏴ go to previous day
00:07:14 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
00:14:36 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
00:28:36 <PeterT> Yes, NekoMaster, make your own topic dedicated to builds for Linux, that way the OpenTTD Section will be *less* confusing
00:33:28 <ccfreak2k> I was thinking of bumping the Wii topic if I get SDL off the ground.
00:33:43 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
00:34:17 <PeterT> Why would you want to play OpenTTD on Wii anyway?
00:34:37 <ccfreak2k> Why would I want to play it on MorphOS?
00:38:31 <Rubidium> ccfreak2k: to please tokai?
00:39:34 <PeterT> ccfreak2k: Because it's actually playable on MorphOS
00:39:45 <ccfreak2k> And soon it may be playable on the Wii. :)
00:39:51 <ccfreak2k> Or at least the gamecube. No Wii here.
00:39:54 <PeterT> With that dumb remote?
00:40:05 <PeterT> I don't support anything Nintendo
00:40:35 <ccfreak2k> The Nintendo 64 was the last Nintendo console I bought new.
00:40:50 <ccfreak2k> My GameCube was from a friend who has a Wii so he didn't need it anymore.
00:41:30 <PeterT> what is it called when you execute "svn add *.*"
00:41:39 <PeterT> is it "adding it to the repo"?
00:41:44 <PeterT> would that be correct to say/write?
00:44:33 <ccfreak2k> I only know checkout and commit. :|
00:48:54 *** lobster has joined #openttd
00:49:20 <PeterT> it's just for when you added a file, for example foo.cpp, and you want that to be shown in and "svn diff > bar.diff", you would need to add it to the repo
00:49:25 <PeterT> so that it will show up
00:49:37 <PeterT> for now, it only "diffs" what is part of the repo
00:49:44 <ccfreak2k> I'm on win32 primarily, so TortoiseSVN does everything for me magically.
00:49:47 <PeterT> otherwise, you would have useless "*.orig" files
00:59:46 <DorpsGek> SmatZ: I have not seen yorick.
01:00:33 <PeterT> SmatZ: If he hasn't been in the past month or so, DorpsGek will not show it
01:03:29 <PeterT> what about it, ccfreak2k
01:03:29 <ccfreak2k> Isn't there already a program for win32 that gets SVN + patches and compiles them for you in one click?
01:05:18 <PeterT> which program would you be talking about? ccfreak2k?
01:05:23 <PeterT> perhaps MSVC is close to that
01:05:36 <PeterT> I mean, all you need to do is gather some libraries and compile
01:05:42 <ccfreak2k> It was a stand-alone thing. I recall it setting up mingw.
01:05:52 <PeterT> and tortoise svn can do the patching
01:10:02 <roboboy> there was a program for patching openttd and downloading source
01:10:21 <ccfreak2k> I knew it, I'm not crazy!
01:12:27 *** lobster has joined #openttd
01:12:44 <PeterT> No, you are still crazy
01:29:33 *** KenjiE20|LT has joined #openttd
01:30:56 <ccfreak2k> Does New Game still go to the map setup screen?
01:31:31 <ccfreak2k> In whatever that image version is.
01:32:07 <PeterT> I'm not sure, I just saw the screen and I liked it
01:32:38 <ccfreak2k> Well, sdl-wii appears to pass "testbitmap".
01:38:21 <PeterT> the world ends when you can successfully divide by zero!
01:39:31 <Eddi|zuHause> i have seen many worlds where you could divide by zero
01:39:38 *** lobster has joined #openttd
01:40:32 *** PeterT_ has joined #openttd
01:40:43 <DorpsGek> PeterT_: Error: float division
01:41:09 <PeterT> dorpsgek wanted the world not to end
01:43:07 <Eddi|zuHause> there's an entire maths around dividing by zero
01:45:27 *** robobot has joined #openttd
01:45:41 <PeterT> property of reciprocals and such
01:47:20 <SmatZ> iirc, similiar case is 0!
01:47:31 <SmatZ> sometimes it's better when it's 0, sometimes 1
01:47:50 <SmatZ> (so there are no special cases)
01:50:44 <SmatZ> at least in C you don't +-inf
01:51:51 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that's why it gets useful ;)
01:52:21 <Eddi|zuHause> because there's no difference between 1/(+0) and 1/(-0)
01:54:54 <Eddi|zuHause> the part where it gets interesting is that in this space, straight lines and circles are the same object ;)
01:55:17 <Eddi|zuHause> straight lines are just circles that go through the infinity point
01:56:42 <PeterT> since it is like saying "0/0=? equals ?*0=0"
01:56:50 <PeterT> and 0 would satisfy that
01:56:56 <PeterT> Again, any number multiplied by 0 is 0 and so this time every number solves the equation instead of there being a single number which can be taken as the value of 0/0.
01:57:13 <Eddi|zuHause> PeterT: that equation is unlikely to hold...
01:59:31 <ccfreak2k> testfile does not pass.
02:03:37 <Eddi|zuHause> PeterT: that page also references the riemann sphere
02:04:19 <Eddi|zuHause> "In the Riemann sphere, 1/0 = oo, but 0/0 is undefined, as is 0*oo"
02:06:16 <PeterT> is positive infinity plus negative infinity == 0?
02:07:57 <SmatZ> infinity is not a number
02:09:22 <SmatZ> 5 = 5 + inf - inf = (5 + inf) - inf = inf - inf = 0
02:09:58 <PeterT> [21:09:20] <SmatZ> then wtf
02:10:10 <SmatZ> similiar, 5 = 5 * inf / inf = (5 * inf) / inf = inf / inf = 1
02:10:36 <PeterT> "(5 * inf) / inf = inf / inf" <-- what?
02:11:12 <SmatZ> 5 * inf is still inf, right?
02:11:16 <Yexo> I remember a similar one
02:11:25 <SmatZ> you can define operations with inf as you wish :-p
02:11:33 <Yexo> 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + .... = INF
02:12:03 <Yexo> 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + .... = (1 + 3 + 5 + ...) + (2 + 4 + 6 + ...)
02:12:12 <Yexo> INF = INF + INF -> INF = 0
02:14:10 <SmatZ> have a look how operations with inf are defined in ieee754, it's defined in a sensible way (iirc)
02:15:40 <PeterT> would the same thing apply to (1/0)-(1/0)=0?
02:16:11 <SmatZ> simply said, you can't divide by zero
02:16:20 <SmatZ> stop thinking about it :-p
02:16:24 <TMS> Wish me luck, I'm reinstalling Windows now.
02:16:48 <SmatZ> you can use limits for that
02:17:43 <SmatZ> like... lim (x->0) (1/x - 1/x) = lim(x->0) (0/x)
02:17:56 <SmatZ> then... it differs for x->0+ and x->0-
02:18:04 <SmatZ> so it's either +inf or -inf
02:18:19 <SmatZ> but lim x->0 is undefined
02:19:31 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
02:20:13 <Yexo> <SmatZ> like... lim (x->0) (1/x - 1/x) = lim(x->0) (0/x) <- I'm not seeing how that works
02:20:33 <Yexo> as long as x != 0 then (1/x - 1/x) = 0, so why use the limit at all?
02:22:32 <Eddi|zuHause> it's an example where lim(a+b) != lim(a) + lim(b)
02:23:40 <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, 0/0, oo/oo, 0*oo, oo-oo are all the same thing, you can transform each one into the other
02:24:25 <Eddi|zuHause> so each one is undefined the same way...
02:47:51 <ccfreak2k> Is it reasonable for an SDL program to open a file in read-only mode and expect rwops->write to return 0 if it tried to write to it?
03:29:58 *** Singaporekid has joined #openttd

05:30:20 *** devilsadvocate has quit IRC
05:34:47 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
05:45:07 <kd5pbo> So, OpenTTD keeps momentarily pausing on the first of every month.
05:45:23 <kd5pbo> I'm hosting a dedicated server, and have connected to that server (from another client).
05:45:47 <kd5pbo> Any idea what could be causing this?
05:47:52 <kd5pbo> It's set to autosave yearly, I think.
05:48:02 <kd5pbo> It's a lot like autosave, though.
05:49:26 <kd5pbo> Can I edit that variable while a game is in progress?
05:51:07 *** lobster has joined #openttd
05:51:33 <ccfreak2k> If you can, it'd be a console command.
06:00:24 <kd5pbo> setting gui.autosave 0
06:01:06 <kd5pbo> Uh, are there any known security holes in OpenTTD?
06:01:35 *** lobstar has joined #openttd
06:01:58 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
06:02:09 <ccfreak2k> testblitspeed yields 119FPS.
06:03:38 <ccfreak2k> kd5pbo, I'm running SDL tests on the gamecube.
06:03:55 <ccfreak2k> With a 640x480 bmp input, it blits at 119 FPS.
06:03:55 <kd5pbo> How do you run OpenTTD on the gamecube?
06:04:04 <kd5pbo> Also, what is blitting?
06:04:20 <kd5pbo> Has someone managed to put Linux on the gamecube?
06:04:29 <ccfreak2k> There's a GC linux yes.
06:09:27 <ccfreak2k> Here's what it looks like before mounting the root partition.
06:11:09 <ccfreak2k> And here's the blit test.
06:11:30 <roboboy> hm I might look into getting one of those things to boot linux on my GC
06:11:50 <ccfreak2k> You'd definitely want a Wii then.
06:12:07 <kd5pbo> That having been said, what do you do with Linux on a Wii or Gamecube?
06:12:21 <ccfreak2k> Whatever you'd do on any other set top box.
06:12:45 <kd5pbo> Yeah, but how's the hardware of a wii?
06:13:13 <ccfreak2k> 2x that of a GameCube.
06:13:25 <ccfreak2k> Plus wireless controllers and USB support.
06:13:49 <roboboy> could you theoretically run OpenTTD for linux on the GC if you booted linux
06:13:58 <kd5pbo> I haven't come up with anything to do with it yet.
06:14:04 <ccfreak2k> roboboy, you could, or you could cut out the middle man and port OpenTTD to GC.
06:14:18 <kd5pbo> roboboy: I'd guess you could probably run a dedicated server without much problem.
06:14:20 <ccfreak2k> That's what I'm aiming for.
06:14:27 <roboboy> which would be better and more efficient
06:14:28 <kd5pbo> ccfreak2k: How would you distribute it?
06:14:44 <ccfreak2k> Probably as a binary.
06:14:48 <ccfreak2k> And a patch of course.
06:15:16 <kd5pbo> You could make it wiiware.
06:15:28 <kd5pbo> Also would help keep the openttd site funded.
06:15:43 <ccfreak2k> I don't have a Wii, so I couldn't even if I wanted to.
06:16:23 <kd5pbo> The wiimote would work really well for input.
06:16:45 <ccfreak2k> Use the D-pad or nunchuck stick to scroll, one of the buttons for a mouse click.
06:17:42 <ccfreak2k> One of these days I'll figure out where Vector is supposed to be defined so I can fix the gl2gx wrapper. That would allow OpenGL code to be ported.
06:18:36 <ccfreak2k> GX is the graphics subsystem for the GameCube and Wii. It's sort of similar to OpenGL, but not quite.
06:19:11 <kd5pbo> Unrelated question: Is there any way to influence in what directions cities grow?
06:19:25 <ccfreak2k> Buy land in the direction you don't want them to grow?
06:19:34 <kd5pbo> If I build a bunch of stations on one end of town and none on the other, will the town grow that way?
06:19:54 <ccfreak2k> AFAIK, they grow radially and equal in all directions.,
06:22:20 <kd5pbo> We'll see how blocking the town works.
06:22:30 <kd5pbo> I've it set to build roads in a 3x3 grid.
06:22:39 <kd5pbo> So, I blocked every fourth square.
06:23:43 <ccfreak2k> I would just make a solid wall perpendicular to the direction you want to inhibit.
06:24:07 <kd5pbo> I would, but I don't have that much cashflow yet.
06:24:19 <ccfreak2k> If you can fit it, you could try making bridges over the blocks that you're taking.
06:24:34 <kd5pbo> Why not just buy them?
06:24:39 <kd5pbo> Would bridges be cheaper?
06:24:51 <ccfreak2k> However you want to do it.
06:25:04 <kd5pbo> Well, we'll see if blocking the roads works.
06:25:05 <ccfreak2k> You can also just skip that if you don't expect any of your trucks to take said bridges anyway.
06:25:51 <roboboy> do GC/Wii/DS share anything in common?
06:26:15 <roboboy> hardware wise and coding wise?
06:26:21 <ccfreak2k> GameCube and Wii are very closely related in hardware.
06:26:35 <kd5pbo> I can't imagine the SDK hasn't changed, though.
06:26:41 <ccfreak2k> For example, it's speculated that the CPUs are -identical-, with the Wii CPU being a die shrink.
06:26:48 <kd5pbo> Do you have a copy of the GC SDK?
06:26:52 <ccfreak2k> The Nintendo DS is closer to the GBA in hardware.
06:27:12 <ccfreak2k> I'm not at liberty to discuss if I do or don't have the Nintendo Dolphin SDK.
06:27:24 <ccfreak2k> I CAN, however, say I have devkitPPC, which is the defacto homebrew toolkit.
06:27:56 <roboboy> I knew that. It is basically a suped up GBA with 2 (?) processors one for GBA games and one for DS games
06:28:28 <ccfreak2k> ARM and PPC are completely different, and about ten years ago, they had totally different markets.
06:29:34 <roboboy> ah yeah thats right GC is PPC and GB(A)/DS is ARM
06:29:59 <roboboy> have you looked at the DS port to see if there is anything of use in it for a GC port?
06:30:20 <ccfreak2k> Technically speaking, the CPU found in the GameCube is a mod of a mod of a PPC 750, which is a G3. I had one in my PowerMac.
06:30:55 <ccfreak2k> The DS port would be of limited use except to see how they handled an "embedded" situation/controller support.
06:31:10 <ccfreak2k> In those instances, it would be quite useful.
06:31:52 <ccfreak2k> Also, the original GameBoy and kin used Z80s under the hood, which IIRC shares a lot of its arch with the Intel 8080.
06:33:19 <roboboy> I think I read that as well
06:38:48 <roboboy> grr its gone quiet in here
06:40:42 <kd5pbo> roboboy: Play OpenTTD :)

09:11:11 <SmatZ> [10:08:24] <Yexo> [03:20:13] <SmatZ> like... lim (x->0) (1/x - 1/x) = lim(x->0) (0/x) <- I'm not seeing how that works <== yeah, it was completely broken
09:11:36 <SmatZ> not that part, but the latter
09:11:51 <SmatZ> good thing I went to bed :-p
09:12:05 <SmatZ> my thinking was broken...
09:17:04 <SmatZ> [03:15:41] <PeterT> would the same thing apply to (1/0)-(1/0)=0?
09:17:46 <planetmaker> hehe. The limit lim (x->0) (1/x - 1/x) = 0, but 1/0 - 1/0 is and remains undefined
09:17:54 <SmatZ> of course with limits, it would be lim (x->0+) ( (1/0)-(1/0) )= ... = 0
09:18:05 <SmatZ> lim (x->0-) ( (1/0)-(1/0) )= ... = 0
09:18:16 <SmatZ> so lim (x->0) ( (1/x)-(1/x) )=0
09:18:51 <planetmaker> uhm... you must not write it that way. You must never write 0 in the denominator. It will remain undefined
09:19:05 <planetmaker> only valid expression is lim (x->0) 1/x = 0
09:19:36 <planetmaker> and thus lim (x->0) (1/x - 1/x) = 0
09:20:36 <planetmaker> limits can be soooo much fun ;-)
09:22:10 <SmatZ> [03:17:57] <SmatZ> then... it differs for x->0+ and x->0- <== this is not true, I don't know why I said that :-p
09:22:46 <planetmaker> hehe. Indeed in the shown case it shouldn't make a difference.
09:23:02 <planetmaker> but if x>0 by definition it helps to use a slightly modified formula:
09:23:35 <planetmaker> 1/(x+epsilon) with a tiny, but fixed and defined epsilon > 0. It avoids catastrophes with infinity
09:24:46 <planetmaker> but then it destroys logarithmic analysis - which can be bad, too
09:25:16 <planetmaker> alas... back to statistical analysis ;-)
09:25:27 * andythenorth has an idea for allowing industry tiles to be overbuilt by rail / road / objects / buildings. Before I incur waste writing it up, is this simply impossible?
09:34:42 *** bartaway is now known as bartavelle
09:49:29 <Noldo> planetmaker, SmatZ: what is the context?
09:49:57 <Noldo> why are you playing with limits
09:50:57 *** Terkhen has joined #openttd
10:02:39 <planetmaker> andythenorth, if you want a tile to be both, industry + rail: seems to me like near-impossible
10:02:55 <planetmaker> as both tile types on their own already use much of the map array.
10:03:25 <planetmaker> Noldo, I have no idea. I play with them for the joy of pure math
10:03:35 <planetmaker> and good morning Terkhen :-)

11:05:59 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: something similar might be useful for road stations, e.g. for allowing certain parts of a tram station be filled with roads
11:06:44 <Eddi|zuHause> the huge problem is map space, though
11:51:09 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: I'll write up my proposal later and see if it's rubbish or not

11:52:22 <TrueBrain> work work is boring
11:53:12 <jonty-comp> that's why you just pretend to do it
11:53:20 <Eddi|zuHause> it must be by definition, else it would be fun work
11:53:30 <jonty-comp> or spend ~60% of your time waiting for the computer, like I do

13:22:06 <Eddi|zuHause> Feature request for railtypes: a custom icon in the station name for each railtype
13:24:22 <Eddi|zuHause> no, in the stations, where the train/bus/plane/ship icons are
13:24:58 <Rubidium> oh, guess you're going to need to add heliport, tram etc too
13:25:02 <Eddi|zuHause> so you could have different symbol for electrified trains or monorails
13:25:30 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that should be possible to extend ;)
13:28:57 <Rubidium> I think that the difference between the different station icons would become really small, especially if you do the tram stuff too
13:29:30 <Rubidium> like, what's the difference between electrified and high speed electrified rail? Or rail with 10t axle limit vs 20t axle limit?
13:30:24 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: a newgrf can choose not to provide a custom icon, or to reuse one from another railtype?
13:31:02 <Eddi|zuHause> ever since the original TT it annoyed me that monorail stations have the same steam engine icon as normal rail
13:32:22 <Eddi|zuHause> www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~krause/Tram.png <-- a proposed icon that i made a few years ago
13:33:49 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
13:34:01 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: but you need to differentiate between pax and cargo trams, right?
13:34:27 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: i have never seen an icon for a cargo tram anywhere...
13:34:59 <Rubidium> also: how to handle the icons in the MP lobby?
13:35:58 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... interesting question
13:36:02 <Rubidium> cause they don't have the e.g. vacuum tube train graphics
13:36:13 <Rubidium> actually, they wouldn't even know what the different numbers would mean
13:38:02 <peter1138> they're still trains
13:43:30 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... does the icon above load for anybody?
13:44:02 <Eddi|zuHause> then why doesn't it for me?

14:00:26 <Eddi|zuHause> __ln__: it still looks ugly...
14:01:15 <Eddi|zuHause> __ln__: that's the entire reason why i made the above icon in the first placce
14:01:27 <__ln__> Eddi|zuHause: but we agree on the basic idea that tram stops should have an icon that distinguishes them from bus stops?
14:03:41 <__ln__> so... could that icon possibly be added to some standard grf file
14:04:13 * Rubidium points at the MP lobby problem
14:04:23 <Eddi|zuHause> the one that provides the tram rails, of course
14:04:44 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: if the data is not available at the MP lobby, then stick to the original icons?
14:05:30 <Rubidium> but then the meaning of the icons differ, which means inconsistency and the consistency guys filing bug reports and the like
14:05:30 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: not only would you need the railtype icons, you'd also have to gather and transfer the data for each railtype
14:06:11 <Eddi|zuHause> i think the MP lobby is not worth the effort
14:06:20 <Noldo> why is the MP lobby icon the same as the station icon in the first place?
14:07:32 <Rubidium> because the lobby uses it to list the number of different types of stations?
14:07:57 <Rubidium> so using the same typing as 'in-game' would be the most logical
14:08:14 <peter1138> i think that's just awkward myself
14:09:16 <peter1138> now, why does my snmp tftp upload script not work? :S
14:09:37 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: it's perfectly logical that not all data is available from a game that you haven't joined yet

15:37:22 <Eddi|zuHause> german pizzas are generally rectangular, because they fit better in regular kitchen ovens that way
15:37:42 <Prof_Frink> How very efficient.
15:38:01 <Eddi|zuHause> that goes against the traditional german saying "Das Runde muß in das Eckige"
15:38:38 <Rubidium> actually, round pizzas work better in my oven
15:40:00 <Eddi|zuHause> (it's a famous footballer quotation, "the round [thing] must go into the [rect-]angular [thing]")
15:42:04 <Rubidium> so the ROUND! pizza must go into the rectangular oven
15:42:19 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, it's a contradiction.
15:48:59 <Eddi|zuHause> random thought: when the used bandwidth is calculated/billed on a monthly basis, one should release 1.0.0 in the middle of the month, so the subsequent spike splits over more than one month
15:52:10 <TrueBrain> with themirrors in place, nothing to worry :)

15:54:46 <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: either way, the amount of bandwidth we now produce is very little (relative against what we serve)

16:02:20 <peter1138> how often are the mirrors synced now that bananas is mirrored?
16:02:37 <TrueBrain> for now, BaNaNaS is pushed manual
16:02:40 <TrueBrain> the rest still on new release
16:02:57 <TrueBrain> when ever I have the time, BaNaNaS will be synced every new upload (with N minutes grey period), or something similar
16:06:29 <TrueBrain> BaNaNaS doesn't have to be in sync (the http and our own protocol), so no real rush :)

20:48:24 <Bluelight> It did work before, and I don't see any change from then to now other then that it just wont work..
20:48:57 <Zuu> Bluelight: How does it not work?
20:49:05 <Eddi|zuHause> that might be, but my french vocabulary is missing it...
20:49:20 <Bluelight> Well, it's not visible in the server list..
20:49:37 <Zuu> port forwarding, firewall?
20:49:38 <Eddi|zuHause> and it sounds like a fixed phrase that has some special meaning not covered by the words themselves...
20:50:06 <Bluelight> Well after my best ability the ports are open/forwarded..
20:50:13 <Zuu> did you change anything in your router (if you have one), your firewall or changed the port that OpenTTD listens to.
20:50:54 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: it is very likely a fixed phrase in various religious contexts, but likely a different one for all of them :p
20:51:09 <Bluelight> I'm starting to get crazy here.. :p
20:51:13 <Zuu> Bluelight: Did you wait 5 minutes from that you started your server until you checked the server list?
20:51:54 <Bluelight> now I don't even get the query messages that I got before..
20:51:58 <Zuu> Bluelight: Do you have more than one computer in your network?
20:52:11 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not particularly familiar with french religious phrases
20:52:21 <Eddi|zuHause> they didn't have that chapter in school
20:52:30 <Zuu> Ok, might work to try using your local IP as connect IP with a client on your local machine.
20:53:01 <Bluelight> Yeah on LAN it workes.. but not listed in server list..
20:53:20 <Zuu> Eg. if your local IP is 10.9.9.2 then in OpenTTD try to connect using that IP (not 127.0.0.1 or localhost)
20:53:45 <Zuu> And you have forwarded both TCP and UDP?
20:54:01 <Bluelight> Yeah, but I will try to get another router..
20:54:09 <Bluelight> This one is really stupid..
20:54:23 <Zuu> In your router do you have both "virtual servers" and "port forwarding" ?
20:54:38 <Belugas> query... SELECT train_a FROM Station_A WHERE Loading IS NOT NULL
20:55:12 <Zuu> If you do, then try the other one then what you have used. In my DLink I need to use "virtual servers" in order for it to work.
20:55:37 <Zuu> Might be becase I've done a "user error" or just that DLink interface sucks :-p
20:56:22 <Belugas> DLink? got one for at least 5 years
20:56:53 <aber> I have a DLink. It's called Port Mapping
20:56:55 <Bluelight> Well I had the super gaming router from D-link.. It didnt work at all...
20:57:03 <Zuu> Mine is quite nice, bought a $120 or so DLink - works fine except for the inteface being a bit messy.
20:57:09 <Forked> SUA ? Single User AccounTt
20:57:16 <Forked> = .. and remove the "T"
20:57:22 <Bluelight> It worked for some hours and then the IP adress didnt work anymore.. And I had to reset it,.
20:57:41 <Bluelight> And after a while it was not possible to get a LAN connection up and running at all..
20:59:28 <TrueBrain> Bluelight: I think we can safely say your router is fucked up :)
21:05:47 <Belugas> fuck.. so old, i can't even remember its model...
21:07:39 <Belugas> but hey... it sits under a desk its whole life!
21:13:43 <Zuu> I have the blank white design though, yea it is probably a bit geeky to have a fancy router hehe
21:14:12 <Zuu> Though, mine is still farily consumer oriented. There is of course people that use much more hardcore stuff in their homes.

21:41:59 <Zuu> While we are discussing this very important topic, I wonder if I have a Window in OpenTTD and (in code) want to make it so that a button state or a text edit string is remembered through many life times of this window? Is there a standard procedure for that in OpenTTD? Shall I use a static class variable or shall I make a global variable for that?
21:43:22 <Muxy> got that error who stop a server : Error: Disconnecting road vehicle.
21:43:56 <Eddi|zuHause> Zuu: in most cases it's probably using global variables, but that's because most of the codebase is C, not C++. so the class variable thing sounds more sensible
21:44:01 <Muxy> should i investigate to transmit something ? (0.7.5 server with nobody playing. Strange)

22:09:55 <Zuu> As I can see there is no code that is ran specificly when the game switch between being paused/unpaused. _pause_mode is both assigned to and manipulated using bit operations which would make it hard to introduce a function that one has to call in order to chnage_pause_mode that could then contain code that reacts on game being paused/unpaused. The best alternative I can see is to in a Window that wants to do something when the
22:09:55 <Zuu> game unpauses is to implement OnTick() and each tick check if the pause mode is "unpaused" then make sure the window is in the state that it should be when the game is unpaused.
22:10:58 <Zuu> I want to disable a button in the AI Debug window when the game become unpaused and repaint the log.
22:11:37 <Zuu> My code shouldn't be very expansive, but it would run very many times unneeded.
22:12:35 <Eddi|zuHause> <Belugas> funny thing, tough.. an intelligent router means that an intelligent human programmed it <-- who is the bigger fool. the fool, or the fool that thinks he is intelligent? :p
22:12:56 <Eddi|zuHause> or the fool that works late on a friday evening :p
22:12:58 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: obviously the fool
22:13:07 <Belugas> asking is answering ;)
22:13:20 <Belugas> well... not the late night at the office :P
22:13:32 <Belugas> i'm almost out, anyway
22:13:38 <Rubidium> but... it's 23:13 and YOU Belugas... are still at the office
22:14:45 <Belugas> 17:13.. not that late :)
22:15:14 *** WhiteDog has joined #openttd
22:16:13 <WhiteDog> i have a noob question: i make a train go from a to c, via b, but when the train gets to c it goes back to a. how do i make it "reverse" the orders when it reaches the last one? (passenger train)
22:16:49 <Belugas> in fact... it's indeed time to run home!!!
22:16:50 <WhiteDog> so it goes a b c b a b c ...
22:17:06 <Rubidium> see you on Monday Belugas :)
22:17:22 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
22:18:38 <Belugas> WhiteDog, why don't you reverse the order yourself? you just need to add an order to b after c...
22:19:46 <WhiteDog> yes but what if i add 5 via's ?
22:19:54 <WhiteDog> like a real passenger train :)
22:20:01 <WhiteDog> that's a lot of orders :)
22:20:21 <WhiteDog> a b c d e d c b a b ...
22:20:57 <WhiteDog> is there a better way besides adding them manually?
22:22:11 <aber> isnt that the way the trains behave?
22:22:34 <aber> the train goes to every station on his route?
22:22:43 <Rubidium> WhiteDog: is there only one way to go from a to e? And are there other stations on the route than b c and d?
22:22:54 <WhiteDog> yes but when it reaches the last one, it drives back to the first
22:23:11 <Rubidium> if the answer is yes to the first and no to the second, just make an order for 'go to a', 'go to e'
22:23:12 <planetmaker> don't use non-stop orders
22:23:44 <WhiteDog> i only got 3 stations atm
22:26:15 <WhiteDog> i changed all to "go to"
22:26:27 <WhiteDog> still doesn't stop twice at the middle station tough
22:27:01 <Eddi|zuHause> WhiteDog: you have to do the backwards route explicit
22:27:21 <Eddi|zuHause> a b c d c b [repeat]
22:27:26 <WhiteDog> i was just wondering if there was a "better" way :)
22:27:41 <WhiteDog> maybe a good feature to add :)
22:27:51 <WhiteDog> for passenger trains
22:28:14 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe, but how to do in a way that allows switching between both ways, and make it understandable for people?
22:28:57 <Eddi|zuHause> i might want to have a circular route where one vehicle goes a b c d a, and the other goes a d c b a
22:29:00 <WhiteDog> well if you click "end of orders", maybe an option to change that to "Reverse orders"
22:29:49 <Eddi|zuHause> WhiteDog: yes, but that's not all of it, you also need the ability to switch direction while in the middle of the route

22:30:11 <WhiteDog> you guys proably know best
22:30:29 <WhiteDog> just picked this up, last time i played ttd must been 10 years ago or something
22:30:57 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not against this feature, but if you do it as simple as you said, it's useless for anything than the most simple orders
22:31:01 <WhiteDog> i can't even get my signals straight for a waiting track :p
22:31:09 <Eddi|zuHause> you need a way to deal with conditional orders

22:33:46 *** DJNekkid has joined #openttd
22:44:50 * Zuu sticks to Spotify Premium aired over FM
22:51:47 <andythenorth> meh, I am going to ask some dumb questions about the map array. I am reading openttd src, but I have...understanding fail
22:53:04 <andythenorth> how would I figure out how much space in the map array any given tile type uses (and by implication, how much is unused)
22:53:54 <Rubidium> see docs/landscape_grid.html
22:55:23 <andythenorth> hmmm....if I've understood that right, industry tiles have free all the bits needed for road, rail and canal tiles?
22:56:05 <andythenorth> no I've understood wrong :(
22:56:56 <SmatZ> industry has only 3 free bits
22:57:09 <SmatZ> according to that table
22:57:38 <andythenorth> another idea bites the dust :D
23:00:52 * andythenorth thought I had a solution for enforcing separation of industry from surrounding 'stuff' (objects, industries, buildings) with an eye candy bonus
23:00:54 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: it's a really big problem, unless you come up with an idea for "stacked tiles" or something
23:02:10 <Eddi|zuHause> efficient "sparse arrays" or something
23:02:51 <Eddi|zuHause> both space and access time efficient
23:02:54 <andythenorth> sounds like a pony?
23:03:29 <Eddi|zuHause> it's like what they call a "rewrite of the map array"
23:03:41 <andythenorth> so help my dumb brain...what happens to a farmland tile when it is built on? It becomes a rail / road / canal tile?
23:04:03 <Eddi|zuHause> it gets cleared first
23:04:36 *** Phoenix_the_II has joined #openttd
23:04:36 <andythenorth> would an industry freak out if some of its tiles were cleared?
23:04:50 <andythenorth> (if such were possible)
23:05:47 <andythenorth> what if they had some kind of special flag on them....such as 'freakout = false' ?
23:06:11 <Rubidium> clearing an industry's tile == deleting the whole industry
23:07:08 <andythenorth> probably the best way to explain this is: it would be useful if the equivalent of farm tiles could be included explicitly in an industry layout.
23:07:24 <andythenorth> So that a specific pattern of such could be provided around an industry
23:08:25 <andythenorth> They would act like normal industry tiles when placing an industry - i.e. can't build industry if tile n is blocked
23:08:37 <andythenorth> they would have an action 2 / 3 chain for graphics
23:08:45 <andythenorth> but cargo acceptance would be 0
23:09:10 <andythenorth> and they could be over-built with roads/rails/canals.
23:09:20 <andythenorth> however...it's probably another pony
23:09:55 <Rubidium> sounds quite complex
23:10:50 <andythenorth> nfo side it would be one addition to the 'special flags' property, but yes, probably complex :)
23:11:35 <Rubidium> but why enforce it to be empty and then allow it to be overbuild
23:13:22 <andythenorth> (i) enforces separation between industries, permitting routes to be built. (my fs bug report seems to be misunderstood?). Industry sets are quite capable of blocking large sections of the map with contiguous industries, enforcing tunnels on the user.
23:13:43 <andythenorth> (ii) eye candy - farm-style fields, but...under my control :)
23:16:05 <Eddi|zuHause> why would both features need to be combined?
23:16:37 <Eddi|zuHause> afaik you can already check if surrounding tiles are free by callback
23:17:06 <Eddi|zuHause> and the farm tiles need a few new industry related callbacks about appearance and creation
23:17:34 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: it's possible to check, but baroque to implement. Unless I'm missing something
23:17:40 <Eddi|zuHause> plus a solution for "dangling references" when the industry closes
23:18:09 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: they wouldn't be dangling references. These are industry tiles. I knew about that problem, which is why I think this is better
23:19:44 <Eddi|zuHause> so you want industry tiles to be deletable by the player
23:19:46 *** Phoenix_the_II has quit IRC
23:20:33 <andythenorth> (if they have a special flag), yes that would be implied by having them over-buildable?
23:20:41 <andythenorth> I have no problem with that happening
23:21:17 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, overbuilding is just clearing and building something else
23:22:25 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
23:22:49 <Eddi|zuHause> with a few flags about clearing automatically (e.g. trees when building a rail) or requiring manual (e.g. houses while building a rail)
23:28:22 <andythenorth> I could enforce a crude distance check on industries quite simply when constructing a new one: repeatedly check industry var 64 for every other type of industry (probably around 60 types).
23:28:27 *** Rubix`` has joined #openttd
23:28:54 <andythenorth> is var 64 expensive?
23:30:10 <Eddi|zuHause> O(number of industries) probably
23:39:38 * andythenorth ponders coding a cb2F check for every tile at the edge of every industry layout :|
23:41:10 <andythenorth> average maybe 12 edge tiles per industry, perhaps 3 or 4 layout variations, ~60 industries....2800 checks to code
23:43:11 *** WhiteDog has joined #openttd
23:43:35 <WhiteDog> i got some trouble setting up a waiting bay on a 1-track line with 2 trains on it
23:43:58 <WhiteDog> the trains both stop at the bay and stand there :)
23:44:29 <Bluelight> What is a waiting bay?
23:44:50 <WhiteDog> a small track next to another
23:45:06 <WhiteDog> so trans can pass eachother on a single track
23:45:53 <mib_3cl6t6> andythenorth: 4 tiles is enough per industy, one on each corner will do juuuuuuuuust fine. ;)
23:47:03 <andythenorth> this is the most epic industry generation fail I've seen so far:
23:47:13 <andythenorth> try building routes through that. tunnel time
23:47:14 <mib_3cl6t6> have fun, one at a time...
23:49:08 <WhiteDog> i don't understand how to set up the signals :(
23:51:24 <Bluelight> Explain more plece..
23:51:40 <WhiteDog> they just both wait there
23:52:13 <WhiteDog> but the track in front is clear
23:52:15 <Bluelight> You need a signal at the start too..
23:52:35 <WhiteDog> well i did ttry that
23:52:40 <Bluelight> Not just the end.. the trains can go on the same track..
23:52:45 <WhiteDog> and that kind of worked
23:53:07 <WhiteDog> but the train then tries to use the same track as the other one
23:53:19 <WhiteDog> then returns to the station
23:53:24 <WhiteDog> then takes the correct path
23:53:29 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
23:55:39 <WhiteDog> why it tries the bottom track is beyond me :)
23:56:50 <WhiteDog> i read somewhere on the wiki, if one-way signals are there, it will follow the path it's going in
