00:02:45 <Xhinnus> i looking several for one think, i can`t find the answer, can anybody helpme?
00:03:11 <Eddi|zuHause> you know how mister Knigge died?
00:03:21 <Eddi|zuHause> he fell from a ship into the water and was attacked by a shark
00:03:32 <Eddi|zuHause> and when he pulled his sword, someone from the ship shouted:
00:03:42 <Eddi|zuHause> "but mister Knigge, fish with a knife?"
00:03:46 <Xhinnus> how can i grow up the city ranking of my company? plz
00:04:25 <Eddi|zuHause> Xhinnus: with good service, trees or bribes
00:06:27 <Eddi|zuHause> why do i always think of a guy flying past my screen when i read "THX"?
00:10:25 * Zuu looks on his airport wih NW, NE, SW and SE signs in their respective directions at the adjacent tiles and realize how much more work there is to add a multi-tile drop at a good location.

00:45:28 <supdood> is it possible as admin of a server to explode the whole map?
00:46:29 <supdood> yeah remove everything
00:47:24 <SpComb^> possible with cheats, but I guess those can't be enabled in mp
00:47:41 <supdood> how? so i atleast can try it
00:47:48 <SpComb^> (magic bulldozer + money)
00:48:14 <SpComb^> depending on what value of "whole" you want
00:48:17 <mateusjmf> good night for all! how install openttd in linux Ubuntu 9.10? I have problem in instalation!
00:48:28 <SpComb^> does that include all industries and town houses? :)
00:48:46 <supdood> how do i enable multi bulldozer?
00:49:42 <supdood> ahh cant seem to find it in mp :(
00:51:18 <Rubidium> mateusjmf: just install the version that's packaged with ubuntu 9.10?
00:52:38 <Rubidium> otherwise install the generic package, not the one for Debian Lenny
00:54:27 <mateusjmf> in the hour to install of the error in the video!
00:55:23 <Rubidium> assuming that's the problem you're facing
00:57:22 <mateusjmf> already I installed libsdl and exactly thus it does not function! what it can be?
00:58:52 <Rubidium> we need more information than that, e.g. an error message
01:00:21 <mateusjmf> you know if exists IRC openttd of the Brazil? I am Brazilian and I speak little English!
01:02:04 <Rubidium> I'm not aware of a Brazilian channel; there seem to be (occasionally) Portuguese or Brazilian people in here although given the lack of reaction from any of those probably none at the moment
01:02:37 <mateusjmf> exists some site in web to lower the game with the folders necessary to complete the installation?
01:04:26 <mateusjmf> Of where it is using a keyboard?
01:05:24 <Eddi|zuHause> could you please type the exact error message you get?
01:06:23 <Rubidium> and tell what version of OpenTTD you're using / trying to install
01:07:37 <mateusjmf> I am having problems in using a keyboard with vocs! my English he is basic forgive, me!
01:08:20 <mateusjmf> I am having problems in using a keyboard with you! my English he is basic forgive
01:17:15 <Eddi|zuHause> not being able to help people who deserve to be helped makes me sad...

09:56:06 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: rubidium * r19263 /trunk/src/industry_cmd.cpp: -Fix (r19184): some specific industry creation errors got replaced by 'site unsuitable'.
10:03:45 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: rubidium * r19264 /trunk/src/strgen/strgen.cpp: -Fix (r19179): strgen segfaults when trying to lookup the command for a non-existing command
10:08:30 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: rubidium * r19265 /trunk/src/ (49 files in 3 dirs): -Fix [FS#3618]: "Can't build <industry> here... <industry> in the way" showed the to-be-built industry twice, instead of the to-be-built industry and the industry that's in the way
10:10:17 <planetmaker> those sound like fixes which will get backported ;-)
10:10:27 <planetmaker> good morning also :-)
10:11:08 <Rubidium> 19184 is not in the 1.0 branch
10:12:57 *** zachanima has joined #openttd
10:16:16 <planetmaker> he, let's not introduce a new inconsistency in the German translation ;-)
10:18:38 <planetmaker> No, you didn't. I was about to, but luckily noticed ;-)
10:19:12 <planetmaker> uhm... empty page, Rubidium ?
10:19:32 <Rubidium> oh, maybe you need ipv6 to reach that page :)
10:19:41 <planetmaker> I guess I don't have that here.
10:19:46 <Rubidium> after all, it's the website testbed :)
10:20:16 <Rubidium> anyhow, with recent trunk downloading openmsx from bananas should work
10:20:46 <Rubidium> (recent trunk as in today's (UTC))
10:20:50 <ccfreak2k> I don't think I've got an IPv6 address thjough.
10:21:34 <Rubidium> then maybe his browser barfs on the certificate?
10:22:08 <roboboy> mine barfed on the certificates, but I got there eventualy
10:26:18 <Rubidium> planetmaker: if you add OpenMSX to bananas, could you set 268454720 as minimum required version? That's 1.0 branch after 19264 which would mean it isn't downloaded with the betas/RCs as it doesn't work correctly there
10:27:43 <planetmaker> 268454720? That's rather a high number ;-)
10:28:03 <Rubidium> @base 10 16 268454721
10:28:16 <planetmaker> oh, that funny bit.
10:28:29 <planetmaker> But... it means that current trunk won't download it?
10:28:51 <Rubidium> trunk will, that's 11004B42-ish
10:28:57 *** welshdragon has joined #openttd
10:29:38 <planetmaker> oh... did the versioning scheme change somewhat that the 5-digit svn numbers don't work there?
10:29:47 <planetmaker> or did it always require a number of that kind?
10:30:10 <Rubidium> it always required such a number, although it was kinda hidden
10:30:31 <planetmaker> I guess I set all minimum version requirements wrongly then ;-) And probably not only me.
10:30:36 <Rubidium> e.g. 0.7.5 became 07500000 hex
10:30:56 <Ammler> I guess, it is well documented in the newgrf spec
10:31:11 <Rubidium> so use the 10004B41hex as custom version
10:31:12 <planetmaker> yes, the specs have that kind of versioning scheme IIRC
10:31:23 <planetmaker> But I only ever extracted the SVN rev number ;-)
10:31:37 <planetmaker> ok, no problem :-)
10:31:40 <Ammler> (you could skip the release bits)
10:31:49 <planetmaker> Ammler, that's what I do, yes
10:31:54 <planetmaker> and that's why I forgot ;-)
10:32:54 <planetmaker> Rubidium, but bananas accepts the number only in dec, not in hex, right?
10:33:08 <Rubidium> IIRC yes, but you can try it :)
10:33:43 <Ammler> it does somehow convert it, I ad some "strange" numbers there I didn't put.
10:53:36 <Zuu> Wiki: "Co-operative (or co-op) gameplay is when _one_ or more people run a company using the multiplayer system, working together to achieve the same goals." :-)

11:15:45 <Zuu> (using the multi-player system)
11:20:58 <SpComb^> Zuu: you could have spectators
11:20:59 *** welshdragon has joined #openttd
11:21:19 <SpComb^> for me, co-op is just the absemse of competition
11:22:44 <Ammler> Zuu: coop with your AIs :-)

14:20:01 <Eddi|zuHause> # i say hello, you say goodbye
14:28:32 <Priski> haha, only in russia: a chimp has been sent to for clinic for alcohol/cigarette addiction
14:29:16 <Priski> how the hell chimp has been able to drink and smoke, apparently quite some time
14:32:03 *** lolman_ is now known as lolman
14:32:07 <Priski> "chimp has been given beer and cigarettes from zoo visitors"
14:35:50 <Eddi|zuHause> so he knows how to use a cigarette lighter?
14:48:01 <aber> probably he just asks for fire.
14:48:46 *** devilsadvocate has quit IRC
14:48:51 *** devilsadvocate has joined #openttd
15:02:45 <Priski> another interesting news for you
15:03:16 <Priski> in norway there soon are openin brothels that are free
15:04:12 <Priski> they just made law that made buying sex a crime, so now there are opening brothels that don't charge for sex
15:04:55 <Rubidium> so Christians may not have sex anymore, or get married for free
15:04:57 <Priski> 60 women and 30 men have been applied for soon starting jobs :D
15:05:36 <Eddi|zuHause> you don't pay for sex, but for condoms, wine, "entrance"?
15:06:14 <__ln__> Eddi|zuHause: the news reports imply none of such, but who knows
15:06:47 <Priski> they haven't told the details yet
15:07:02 <Eddi|zuHause> it's like cinemas undercharge you for the ticket, but charge extra for cola and popcorn...
15:07:07 <Rubidium> you have to pay for the details
15:07:26 <Eddi|zuHause> or gas stations who don't earn money on gas, but only on stuff the people buy in the shop
15:07:31 <Priski> apparently it's backed by an political group that wants selling sex legal
15:09:57 <Priski> they open in 5. month in 5 different cities
15:10:25 <__ln__> Priski: did you book your flights yet?
15:10:26 <Priski> maybe I should make an cultural trip to oslo in during summer... :D
15:14:32 <Eddi|zuHause> "was ist bitte CAPSLOCK-Wetter" - "es SHIFT ohne ende"
15:15:31 <planetmaker> I'll remember that one :-)
15:18:09 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, btw, the only safe way to get all dirs which I need, is unfortunately a bit longer than the one line you gave yesterday - though it's the basis:
15:18:32 <planetmaker> REPO_FILEDIRS1 := $(shell for i in $(REPO_FILES); do dirname $$i; done | sort | uniq)
15:18:32 <planetmaker> REPO_FILEDIRS2 := $(shell for i in $(REPO_FILEDIRS1); do for j in `echo "$$i" | grep -o -b '/' | cut -f1 -d:`; do echo "$$i" | cut -b1-$$j; done; done | sort | uniq)
15:18:32 <planetmaker> REPO_DIRS := $(shell for i in $(REPO_FILEDIRS1) $(REPO_FILEDIRS2); do echo $$i; done | sort | uniq)
15:18:37 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah. you might have to recurse the line...
15:19:14 <planetmaker> the last line is then everything in order for a mkdir call
15:20:31 <planetmaker> and it still fails nicely on file and dir names with spaces.
15:20:37 <planetmaker> But I decided to not care about that
15:20:59 <Eddi|zuHause> spaces are the death of such simple approaches
15:22:12 <planetmaker> grf authors who need space in their paths or filenames shall write their own makefile ;-)
15:22:41 <Eddi|zuHause> you could check for spaces first, and issue an error
15:23:11 <planetmaker> true. But that wouldn't make much of a difference, if I get an error there or then.
15:23:26 <planetmaker> It's anyway only important for bundling the source dir.
15:23:44 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but it makes sense to tell other people explicitly that spaces are not handled.
15:24:05 <Eddi|zuHause> instead of some very obscure error message about files not being found
15:24:06 <planetmaker> yes, I thought about a line in the ominous do-not-readme ;-)
15:24:32 <planetmaker> also... how do I test for spaces?
15:25:50 <Eddi|zuHause> when "wc" and "wc -l" differ by more than factor two?
15:26:43 <Eddi|zuHause> might rely on uncertain output format of hg st...
15:29:34 <planetmaker> actually... when wc and wc -l differ at all for a hg st -A
15:29:46 <planetmaker> (or the appropriate subset)
15:29:52 <planetmaker> thanks for the idea :-)
15:32:00 <peter1138> huh? comparing output of "wc" with output of "wc -l" ?
15:32:23 <peter1138> number of words vs number of lines
15:32:23 <planetmaker> if things are one per line that's fine
15:32:28 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
15:32:41 <peter1138> okay. sounds like you're doing something wrong somewhere...
15:32:42 <planetmaker> /blah/blub/filename
15:33:29 <planetmaker> please tell me :-)
15:33:50 <Eddi|zuHause> you can also use grep
15:34:09 <peter1138> what are you actually tring to do?
15:34:34 <planetmaker> peter1138, the idea is to detect whether the repo has anywhere a dir or filename with spaces
15:34:44 <planetmaker> as that will cause trouble later on.
15:35:10 <planetmaker> what I do have is a list of all files with path in the form of /blah/blub/myfile.extension
15:35:35 <planetmaker> trouble with the mkdir and cp where I get their arguments from the variable. within the makefile
15:36:01 <peter1138> you've heard of quotes, right?
15:36:56 <peter1138> FOO=/path with spaces; mkdir "$FOO"; ?
15:37:16 <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: that doesn't work with for i in $(blah)
15:37:32 *** lobstar has joined #openttd
15:39:53 <Ammler> what if you change field delimiter?
15:43:33 <planetmaker> might be an idea, if it works within a makefile
15:44:03 <Ammler> not sure, but might be easier than detect spaces :-)
15:50:44 <peter1138> you could probably do all that with a couple of awk statements ;p
15:53:05 <planetmaker> many roads lead to Rome ;-)
16:08:06 <Belugas> and many bits in a ROM
16:08:15 * Belugas has no idea why he said taht
16:08:26 *** Absolutis has joined #openttd
16:18:15 <Belugas> yup, good enough reason
16:25:33 <sparr> Rubidium: replied to your comment on my bug
16:27:35 <sparr> Rubidium: happy to discuss here, or in PM, if that's faster
16:29:42 <sparr> Rubidium: the idea behind the code, before and after my patch, is that the resources are split between the two stations based on rating (and the second station is penalized), then each station suffers some wasteage of the amount it was given.
16:29:50 <sparr> my patch doesn't affect the split, just the wasteage
16:30:40 <sparr> I can't say if the split in openttd matches ttd, that's a lot harder to test. But the wasteage definitely doesn't currently match, I think due to the bug in question
16:31:42 *** Coco-Banana-Man has joined #openttd
16:41:14 <sparr> thanks for taking the time to consider the patch, at least
16:58:23 <Rubidium> I can imagine you hate the complex things for a number of reasons :)

17:05:56 *** DaleStan_ is now known as DaleStan
17:06:28 <OwenS> Terkhen: Theres a reason I only use quaternions on the network. Matrices are soo much less confusing
17:09:52 *** Hackykid_ has joined #openttd
17:12:21 <Terkhen> I'd prefer to use a matrix, but if I do someone at the final review will ask why I'm not using quaternions for performance reasons
17:12:43 *** KenjiE20 is now known as [ghost]buster
17:12:53 *** [ghost]buster is now known as KenjiE20
17:13:23 <Eddi|zuHause> so? all that needs is an argument for "i can optimise this better, so it reaches the same performance"
17:13:25 <Rubidium> Terkhen: but if with matrices *your* performance is better, doesn't that count?
17:14:23 <OwenS> Terkhen: Graphics work?
17:15:27 <Terkhen> hmm... I can justify using a matrix, yes... as long as the motive sounds "technical" enough
17:16:14 <Terkhen> OwenS: no, I need to store the orientation of a wiimote
17:16:52 <OwenS> Terkhen: Aah. If it was graphics work a valid excuse would have been "Converting the quaternion to a matrix for the graphics card makes things actually go slower" :p
17:17:07 <Terkhen> probably I'm worrying too much, I doubt any of the teachers will read my code / documentation
17:17:12 <OwenS> I can't imagine a Wiimote's input is so rapid to use more than 0.01% of CPU time though...
17:17:34 *** DaleStan_ has joined #openttd
17:17:34 *** DaleStan is now known as Guest732
17:17:34 *** DaleStan_ is now known as DaleStan
17:20:55 <Terkhen> well, the matrix / quaternion input will probably be used for graphics later
17:21:07 <Terkhen> I'll use that excuse, thanks :)
17:21:49 <OwenS> I don't know if it's true or not; to be honest, I don't care, since matrix multiplication isn't anywhere on my profiles
17:22:20 <Terkhen> as long as it sounds reasonable... :)
17:23:06 <OwenS> In fact, my profiles are 90% _nv######GL :p
17:23:54 <OwenS> And 10% Frustum::classify and std::sort
17:25:45 <Eddi|zuHause> of course, "this is not performance critical" is a very good argument for not focusing on optimisation
17:26:38 <Terkhen> I hope to make something related to graphics, but I won't know for sure until I test how precise is the input

18:35:33 <Eddi|zuHause> great... digging a 6 year old topic... new record?
18:37:33 <sparr> Eddi|zuHause: someone complained about me doing the same... what's the problem?
18:37:48 <sparr> if there was an issue 6 years ago, and it's still an issue, why throw away all the debate about it then?
18:38:52 <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: there is a difference between reviving an old discussion with new insight, and senselessly spam an "i agree." under something that has been actually resolved...
18:40:29 <OwenS> Terkhen: I think that's a new luser attitude low
18:40:54 <Rubidium> OwenS: nah, it's just that they're not going directly to the locomotion part of the forum anymore
18:41:43 <Terkhen> it's only missing "And make also X while you are at it" to be "perfect"

18:43:37 <sparr> Rubidium: in most situations I would let my rebuttal of your math speak for itself, but it occurs to me that your opinion has a bit more weight around here than mine, would you mind retracting?
18:44:09 <sparr> I fear another dev may look at the bug, go "oh, Rubidium said the patch is bad", and ignore it
18:45:23 <Belugas> i think that , personnaly, knowing Rubidium's knowledge and expertise on the game, his opinion has far more weight than mine, and even more than yours, sparr

18:46:39 <Eddi|zuHause> interesting commit message :p
18:46:42 <Rubidium> argh... should've removed that :(
18:47:05 <Zuu> Is that some kind of UTF8/Unicode?
18:47:10 <Rubidium> oh WT3 where art thou?
18:47:20 <OwenS> I'd say itl ooks like Unicode escapes/
18:47:21 <Belugas> that is one of his password
18:48:08 <Rubidium> TrueBrain: what's up with WT3 not committing?
18:48:40 <sparr> Belugas: does what I said make sense in that light?
18:48:42 <TrueBrain> I thin kyou broke it
18:48:52 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v Belugas
18:48:52 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v orudge
18:49:18 <Rubidium> TrueBrain: yeah, I know I always break it :)
18:49:40 <TrueBrain> and you committed EXACTLY when it was committing
18:49:46 <TrueBrain> so it give an out-of-date error
18:51:15 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: translators * r19268 /trunk/src/lang/ (11 files): (log message trimmed)
18:51:15 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: -Update from WebTranslator v3.0:
18:51:15 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: traditional_chinese - 4 changes by elleryq
18:51:15 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: esperanto - 272 changes by Ailanto, kristjan
18:51:15 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: finnish - 1 changes by jpx_
18:51:16 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: german - 1 changes by planetmaker
18:51:16 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: indonesian - 11 changes by fanioz
18:51:55 <Rubidium> you have no esperanto translators for like 2 years and then you've got two :)
18:52:11 <Rubidium> so... where are those TWO Mac OS X maintainers?
18:54:05 <OwenS> Hmm... Time to learn (*gasp*) boost::spirit
18:55:14 <Rubidium> is that a boost library to burn CDs/DVDs?
18:56:00 <sparr> I wonder how feasible it would be to convince a translated game like openttd to display things in one language but provide tooltip text in english, as a tool for learning the other language
18:56:17 <OwenS> It's the boost parser library. An unholy combination of operator overloading and templates
18:57:07 <OwenS> And while I may have issues with Boost - in particular, their build system (And to a lesser extent their coding conventions - but I can live with that) - as a header-only library, I can't really complain too much about Spirit
18:58:20 <Alberth> Rubidium: hopefully, it takes less than 2 years to get those maintainers
18:58:24 <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: make a new language.txt replacing all the _TOOLTIP strings
18:59:28 <Zuu> OwenS: Their library for parsing CLI arguments made me cry.
19:00:07 <OwenS> Zuu: Hah. I think that internally uses Spirit. Spirit's not too bad considering it takes as close to EBNF as you can get in C++
19:00:09 <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: possibly useful sideffect: missing strings in the translation are displayed in english
19:00:11 <sparr> Rubidium: sorry to come across as demanding. thanks again for looking at it at all
19:00:16 <Zuu> They used the language in a such way that if you made a typo it could easily compile anyway and cause hard to find bugs instead of throwing comile errors right away.
19:00:41 <OwenS> Zuu: Thats an interesting change from the usual boost 50 line errors containing mainly "In this context"
19:02:50 <Zuu> I haven't been using boost for long time now. For signals I use sigc++ instead and the rest I don't use.
19:03:15 <OwenS> I'm using just boost::ptr_containers at the moment
19:04:48 <Zuu> (having curling on my second screen) - why do I always look away when the stones hit the center? :-p
19:15:24 *** ajmiles has joined #openttd
19:15:37 <sparr> curling is more of a sport than shuffleboard
19:16:47 <Yexo> <sparr> I wonder how feasible it would be to convince a translated game like openttd to display things in one language but provide tooltip text in english, as a tool for learning the other language <- not to hard if you generate a new language file without the tooltips
19:28:53 <Eddi|zuHause> what's wrong with lost?
19:36:55 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
19:40:19 <Zuu> Maybe the wrong team lost the last curling game?
19:53:07 <frosch123> as long as the right one wins it
20:02:14 <sparr> frosch123: thanks for the savegame. your observations differ from mine. i shall try to find out why.
20:03:19 <frosch123> maybe you can also discover why the transporation percantage varies a lot while the rating stays quite constant :)
20:03:20 <sparr> i should have made a savegame when i had a chance

20:22:22 *** SHADOW-XIII was kicked by DorpsGek (spam)
20:22:37 <OwenS> Spams bad in there today :-S
20:22:41 <planetmaker> Rubidium: is there no fallback music set defined?
20:23:00 <TrueBrain> OwenS: I am always in for a kick, so just tell me :p
20:23:18 <planetmaker> If the currently defined one is not found, it tells me that I'm most probably missing TTD original music also ;-)
20:24:04 <sparr> frosch123: the fluctuating transportation percentage makes this hard to do in general
20:24:17 <OwenS> I suppose that comes with being in the top 10 (?) channels on a network :-P
20:25:00 <TrueBrain> this channel is in the top 10? This network sucks :p
20:25:28 <frosch123> actually shadow is a regular visitor of this channel, no bot :p
20:25:59 <TrueBrain> frosch123: yup, I am aware. He is mostly the person joining 100 times a day, not saying anything ;) Either way, even more reason why he should know not to do that ;) Ghehe :)
20:27:42 <Zuu> Does building a bus stop decrease the town rating? Eg, if I'm unsure if I will be able to connect the road station to the town, do I have anything to win by placing a depot there in the way during path finding?
20:27:49 <OwenS> irc.netsplit.de has you 9th, assuming it sorts the channels in descending order, which it appears to be doing
20:28:31 <OwenS> Sorry, 8th. 9 channels per page, wtf?!
20:29:14 <Alberth> just to discourage people to look at the lesser used channels :p
20:29:26 <Yexo> Zuu: indirectly yes, as unused stations decrease it
20:29:41 <Zuu> Unused stations or unused station parts?
20:30:11 <Zuu> Ok, then no difference in this case as I'm attaching bus stops to an existing inter-city station.
20:31:04 <Eddi|zuHause> <TrueBrain> this channel is in the top 10? This network sucks :p <-- we have been one of the largest channels here since the beginning... :p
20:31:17 <Zuu> Though, I realized I could include in my road pathfinder callback support for putting big penalties on forbidden tiles.
20:32:38 <planetmaker> Zuu: you bad guy. Station walking! People will flame you ;-)
20:33:23 <Zuu> Who said anything about station walking? Isn't I'm a good guy trying to implement attaching stations without using distant join?
20:37:46 <Zuu> If you want to balme an AI for being lazy with station walking I suggest picking a better AI to blame than PAXLink ;-)
20:38:51 <SpComb^> he used to be a moderator or something on ttf
20:39:02 <orudge> he also used to be very anti-OpenTTD :p
20:39:12 <orudge> and now plays it on his PSP or something along those lines
20:39:26 <orudge> he came to the first TT meet, more than you did, young SpComb^!
20:45:47 <SpComb^> orudge: I dispute the existance of such a thing
20:46:09 <orudge> a young SpComb^? or a TT meet?

20:58:40 *** Grelouk_ has joined #openttd
20:59:09 <planetmaker> Yes, but it wasn't selected when I removed my (old) openmsx w/o changing the config
20:59:25 <Rubidium> asserted? More errored I hope
20:59:33 <Rubidium> and it does for all base sets
20:59:38 <planetmaker> uhm... true. sorry.
21:00:10 <planetmaker> But I have another one. With my current version of OpenMSX where songs are not consecutive
21:00:19 <planetmaker> There it crashes outright
21:00:36 <Rubidium> huh? They're not consecutive in the original set either
21:00:52 <planetmaker> hold on, I add it to FS for you to download
21:01:34 <planetmaker> uh... only killall helped :S
21:02:54 *** Dreamxtreme has joined #openttd
21:11:44 <planetmaker> Rubidium: if I set the "new" song at position3 (as old2 = ...) then all is fine.
21:14:36 <planetmaker> I guess I'll add it there for now ;-)
21:14:45 <planetmaker> Then I can offer people a small taster :-)
21:15:34 <Rubidium> yay... works for me!
21:16:10 <Rubidium> or I've done something 'wrong'
21:16:50 <planetmaker> Select OpenMSX. Then chose an individual programme. For example "Little Blue Car", "Theme Song"
21:17:04 <planetmaker> And it does go bye bye for me
21:17:09 <planetmaker> mind the order of the songs
21:17:41 <Rubidium> take a look at the crash log
21:17:59 <Rubidium> it's completely in 'Apple' code, except the crash handler
21:18:15 <Rubidium> maybe it's the midi that crashes the midi player
21:18:26 <planetmaker> The midi itself plays fine
21:18:31 <planetmaker> if I only select that song
21:23:19 <planetmaker> hm... it seems it's not as clear as it seemed initially. Now it died on me with that song only selected, too
21:23:25 <planetmaker> Nice. Another apple bug :S
21:23:38 <TrueBrain> I hate bugged apples
21:28:40 <planetmaker> why the heck do you own one in that case, TrueBrain ?
21:29:29 <Rubidium> especially the green apples are good, except when they are dry and such
21:29:39 <TrueBrain> they taste liked shit, apples that are bugged
21:29:41 <TrueBrain> dunno how about you ...
21:29:51 <TrueBrain> but sometimes you get them in a bunch
21:30:01 <TrueBrain> so I don't own them because I want to
21:35:00 <Zuu> At some point I guess I should make libraries of the shared code between PAXLink and CluelessPlus instead of copying over things. This time I was almost sure I had implemented something but couldn't find it just to realize it was in the other AI. :-)
21:43:59 <Eddi|zuHause> the joy of copy paste :p
21:44:26 <Eddi|zuHause> even my mother understood why that is a bad thing :p

21:54:54 <Zuu> Hmm, building a half tile that becomes a slop and then remove it again does not restore the old state of the slope tile.
21:55:07 <Belugas> althougb i've not finished whay i should have, it's fucking time to fucking go home
21:55:13 <Rubidium> night Belugas, happy weekend!
21:57:57 <Zuu> Hmm, AIRoad can't tell me what road bits a single tile has so, there is no way I could restore the road bits on a slope as they where.
22:00:13 <Zuu> Though, I could check if the road stump at the other end of the tile is connected and chose to use RemoveRoad or RemoveRoadFull to not leave a half tile road stump.

22:27:32 <Rubidium> Wolf01: I think you can better ask the question than that meta question :)
22:29:43 <Wolf01> if I make 2 donations by paypal, one for the forums and one for OpenTTD is sufficient to specify the description?
22:31:46 <Zuu> Wolf01: When I did that, I used the paypal button on OpenTTD.org to get the OpenTTD donation correct.
22:32:34 <Zuu> It may be possible to write OpenTTD in the tt-forums paypal and have orudge read it and make a note. I don't know since I'm not orudge.
22:33:43 <planetmaker> IIRC it's even fine, if you drop him a note that it should be splitted 50:50 between forums and OpenTTD. At least he told me once, if my memory serves me well
22:34:09 <Wolf01> since both donations go to orudge I think the only way is to specify the description, for OTTD it's not a problem, for the forums I specified "tt-forums.net", I think it should be ok
22:34:09 <Rubidium> yeah, it's better to send it in one donation; less money goes to paypal
22:36:26 <Zuu> Rubidium: Okay, shall do that next time.
22:43:49 <OwenS> I so wish C++ templates generated sane errors
