IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2010-04-10
⏴ go to previous day
00:20:35 <aber> you guys have not so much luck with mac developers...
00:23:21 <Eddi|zuHause> piro: try readin up on transfer orders. but generally you can only transfer in one direction, so its use is diminished for bi-directional cargos like passenger, mail or valuables. they are better suited for single direction cargos.
00:24:41 <Eddi|zuHause> so you can either transport passengers from the town to the dock/airport, or from the dock/airport to the town, but not both
01:36:47 <piro> What is the point of making longer train stations?
01:38:50 <De_Ghosty> if ur train is longer than platform the train that doesn't fit is delayed in loading/unloading

02:07:06 <Scriptdaemon> Does OpenTTD save anything to the registry in Windows (specifically, the .zip download)?
02:08:30 <Scriptdaemon> And if not, is there a way (e.g. command line argument) to change the settings directory?
02:08:56 <glx> it's explained in the readme
02:13:02 <Scriptdaemon> Alright, thank you. I'm developing a PortableApps.com package for OpenTTD. :)
02:17:31 <CIA-6> OpenTTD: glx * r19596 /trunk/src/network/network_internal.h: -Fix (r19593): dedicated server always fast forwarding if compiled without DEBUG_DUMP_COMMANDS

03:05:51 <Eddi|zuHause> gnah... my new (<1 year) mouse's mouse wheel is giving up...
03:11:22 <Eddi|zuHause> and it wasn't the cheapest mouse either...
03:13:41 <piro> So there is pretty much no way to easily replace lots of old vehicles if there's no better vehicles being offered, correct?
03:14:26 <De_Ghosty> auto replace in options
03:14:28 <Eddi|zuHause> in advanced settings->vehicles->replace vehicles when they are old
03:15:27 <Eddi|zuHause> the english language is missing the equivalent of the german word "doch"...

03:31:50 <moot> IF YOU DO NOT COPY THIS TEXT TO 8 & 1/2 PEOPLE THERE WILL BE 2 BEARS EVERY TIME U OPEN A DOOR FOREVER!!!
03:38:22 <piro> Eddi|zuHause: Bad ass. Thank you
03:39:47 *** De_Ghosty has joined #openttd
03:40:31 <piro> Also, if I have a bunch of vehicles going to a particular station, can I change the route of a bunch of them at once?
03:40:36 <piro> Without doing order sharing
03:40:55 <piro> (Because I don't like the permanence of order sharing)
03:42:55 <Eddi|zuHause> either all or nothing
03:44:45 <NevEragon> hrm, i got openttd a few days ago and ive been playing with it, but for the life of me, i cant get teh convert rail button to work... i just get "no suitable railroad track" every time. Is anyone familiar with this problem?
03:49:28 <Eddi|zuHause> NevEragon: you need to select a different railtype than you already have built
03:50:23 <NevEragon> oh hey, i didnt notice i should hold down the rail button, thanks
03:50:32 <Eddi|zuHause> click and hold the rail button in the main toolbar
04:04:33 <piro> Is there a way to show nearest depot? I can't find a depot I placed O_o
04:07:11 <piro> What are depots considered? Stations?
04:08:11 <Eddi|zuHause> "stations" means all player property, including depots
04:19:10 <piro> Ok, next question :) If a station at a city is producing crap tons of passengers, does it help to create a second station? As in, does it split the load?
04:39:25 <yuriks_> do entry-exit pairs cross regular block signals?
04:40:11 *** NCommander has joined #openttd
04:47:46 * NCommander is starting to learn to play OpenTTD, and is feeling a bit overwhelmed
04:58:15 <NCommander> piro: I'm also having issues with signals, although I think I'm finally getting it (although I'm too scared to turn on an AI player :-/)
05:00:10 * NCommander hasn't even turned on any NewGFXs or figure dout how add them :-/
05:05:48 <NCommander> Stupid quesiton, but if I want to build a second track to a station, why is it look different if I put two side by side versus build it initially with two (or more), am I doing something wrong?
05:09:29 <yuriks_> nah, it just doesn't update
05:09:40 <yuriks_> it's for all intents and purposes the same thing though, except graphically
05:10:04 * NCommander is now trying to figure out how to use time tables effectively
05:10:15 <yuriks_> I havn't even looked at them yet =P
05:10:22 <yuriks_> my lovely station design ^_^
05:14:22 * NCommander is making progress at learning how to build decent stations and hubs I think
05:14:36 <NCommander> yuriks_: OOOH, thats nice!
05:16:40 * NCommander is going to see if he can get his spur line trains being profitable in both directions by towing some empty steel cars
05:18:06 <NCommander> De_Ghosty: well, I want to bring raw supplies up, and then have it bring back any steel from the foundary thats available
05:18:06 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: problem? XD
05:18:21 <NCommander> Transport it to my hub station, and then have another train from there take it and bring it over to the factory
05:18:35 <yuriks_> hub stations.... that sounds like a nice idea
05:18:46 <yuriks_> currently I'm just hauling everything directly
05:18:51 <NCommander> yuriks_: I'll shot you what mine looks like if I can get this to work
05:18:56 * NCommander has bad luck with signals
05:19:05 <yuriks_> it took me a while to get the hang of then
05:19:06 <De_Ghosty> transfer is slowwwwwwwwwww
05:19:18 <De_Ghosty> yuriks_ there is a type of signal
05:19:32 <NCommander> De_Ghosty: not if the train is already running between those stations. This way instead of having one run be completely unprofitable, it can work in both
05:19:39 <yuriks_> and my trains still deadlock sometimes, they stopped since I gave up on combined Terminus-RoRo though =P
05:19:52 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: the path ones?
05:20:02 <NCommander> The hills suck though, I need two engines on each train to get them moving quickly
05:20:05 <yuriks_> what about them? for my station?
05:20:14 <yuriks_> NCommander: realistic acceleration path ftw <_< >_>
05:20:15 <De_Ghosty> they are lazy man signals
05:20:23 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: indeed they are =)
05:20:34 <NCommander> Where do I turn that on?
05:21:38 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: you're suggesting replacing all signals on my stations with path ones?
05:21:48 <NCommander> yuriks_: do I need a NewGFX for that?
05:22:12 <yuriks_> you don't need newgfx for anything afaik =-P
05:23:34 <yuriks_> hmmm, why is this water train always bringing up a net loss
05:23:45 <NCommander> yuriks_: I don't see to have it in my openttd
05:24:28 *** nighthawk_c_m has joined #openttd
05:25:04 <De_Ghosty> they wait too long too slow?
05:25:54 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: hmm, yeah, they wait quite a bit I think, water supply is just 40k a month
05:26:05 <yuriks_> but I'm trying to bring that up by having a train always idle there loading
05:26:06 * NCommander has some junctions he has to optimize
05:26:52 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: it also travels very far =P
05:28:20 <yuriks_> this is my horrible home-made junction =P
05:29:06 <yuriks_> also, is that return on the back thing I did on the top-most stations a horribly bad idea or is it fine?
05:32:20 <nighthawk_c_m> design can be simplified with faster access to the Brunwell North, but that junction will cause trouble with faster trains
05:32:38 * NCommander needs to get his signals working
05:32:52 <yuriks_> nighthawk_c_m: yeah, it was kind of bolted on
05:33:16 <nighthawk_c_m> For thr Station try a Terminus with PBS
05:33:24 <nighthawk_c_m> its much smaller
05:33:31 <De_Ghosty> junctions are good if u have lots of train
05:33:45 <De_Ghosty> also fast and doesn't jam
05:34:03 <yuriks_> nighthawk_c_m: like I have on Brunnwell? (that's a slanted terminus)
05:34:08 <NCommander> I'm guessing I'm not using combo signals correctly
05:34:09 <De_Ghosty> tips : don't use such short turns it slows the trains down
05:34:22 <De_Ghosty> you two should play together :D
05:34:23 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: yeah, comes from the bolted on part ;P
05:35:12 <yuriks_> I was gonna use that, but though maybe that would be faster
05:35:32 <nighthawk_c_m> Oh that is pretty fast usually
05:35:41 <piro> Jesus. I can't keep up with the demand!
05:35:47 <piro> And towns are getting really angry at me :(
05:35:52 <nighthawk_c_m> I think it wont be slower
05:36:18 <nighthawk_c_m> For curves I had something .. gimme a sec
05:36:24 <yuriks_> any pointers on doing a junction to feed both stations?
05:36:40 <yuriks_> I need to redesign that whole mess, anyway
05:37:29 <yuriks_> looks like vanilla block signals
05:37:57 * NCommander is trying to get his station to work right, but I'm guessing combo is not the right type of signal
05:38:06 <yuriks_> nighthawk_c_m: do two of those in a row?
05:38:43 <yuriks_> maybe I could do some kind of modified cloverleaf with exits/entrances at the loops
05:39:28 <nighthawk_c_m> Maybe, I never used a cloverleaf, I try to get my LL_RR Mainline with three sidelines to work
05:39:37 <piro> This is ridiculous. What the heck are you supposed to do when a town needs a bunch of crap but won't let you build anything?
05:39:48 <yuriks_> piro: plant trees, of course :)
05:39:55 <nighthawk_c_m> weait, plant trees, sleep with the mayors wife and so on
05:40:14 <yuriks_> how do I bribe towns, anyway? is it the 'rebuild roads' option?
05:41:00 <yuriks_> "LL_RR Mainline with three sidelines" what would that be?
05:41:04 <nighthawk_c_m> yeah, but prtetty expensive, dont do it unless you have enough cashflow
05:41:06 <yuriks_> two roads for each direction?
05:41:24 <nighthawk_c_m> no, gimme a sec, anyone have a good picture uploading place?
05:41:26 <NCommander> yuriks_: I don't get how to do it properly if the station is two tracks and an end point
05:41:36 <yuriks_> nighthawk_c_m: hmm, tinypic?
05:42:08 <yuriks_> NCommander: two tracks along the entire railway?
05:42:37 <NCommander> yuriks_: its two tracks feeding into a single station that can cross over each other but currently don't overlap
05:43:33 <NCommander> No idea how to do that prpoerly
05:43:42 <yuriks_> well, the solution is in the screenshot ;P
05:44:09 <yuriks_> those are path signals
05:44:46 <NCommander> yuriks_: ugh, but they are still all read ...
05:44:54 <yuriks_> how come I'm not transporting 100% of the production on this water supply if I always have a train loading there at all times? -_-
05:45:10 <yuriks_> NCommander: path signals are always red until a train approaches it
05:45:24 * NCommander thinks he finally has a grip on signals!
05:45:28 <nighthawk_c_m> 100% is basically impossible unless you have a high end high speed engine etc
05:46:06 <NCommander> that seems to work now
05:46:07 <nighthawk_c_m> btw that screenshot shows mainline with a sideline junction, pretty basic, I just learned how to do them
05:46:31 <yuriks_> nighthawk_c_m: that seems to take a lot of space =P, tidy, though
05:46:40 <yuriks_> well, 'tidy', bridges and tunnels everywhere
05:47:16 <nighthawk_c_m> well, it is designed for a trainlength of 5 tiles (10 wagons including locos) so they dont slow down or jam
05:48:23 <yuriks_> oh, transport rate falls if you take too long to transport?
05:48:37 <nighthawk_c_m> Hmmhmm.. yepp, that too
05:48:52 <yuriks_> ah, that could be the reason then
05:49:03 <yuriks_> those water tanks take very long trips =P
05:50:07 <yuriks_> nighthawk_c_m: can trains do returns with that setup?
05:50:25 <nighthawk_c_m> what do you mean with returns
05:50:41 <yuriks_> reverse direction (changing to the correct track)
05:51:47 * NCommander has transfers working
05:52:10 *** nighthawkcm has joined #openttd
05:52:52 <NCommander> my path signals aren't working properly :-/
05:53:39 <nighthawkcm> maybe plain old entry - exit - combo signals work better?
05:54:00 <nighthawkcm> i find them easier in terms of the logic of larger networks, dont like pbs there too much
05:56:01 <piro> So if you create more bus stations, you give yourself more passengers to take care of?
05:56:17 * NCommander isn't sure how cost effective this route is, but that was awesome to watch
05:56:44 <nighthawkcm> hehe, eyecandy sometrimes totally wins over usefulness / effectiveness of a network
05:58:23 <nighthawkcm> if the spreads of the stations dont overlap too much yes - it increases the amount of passengers per station
05:58:37 <nighthawkcm> i mean the amount in general increases
05:58:57 <nighthawkcm> on the single stations it depends how much there is in their coverage
05:59:11 <piro> Fuck. These stations are getting overloaded. How do you cope with it besides throwing more buses at them?
06:04:33 <nighthawkcm> you cant except to change toa method of transportation with much higher loading capacities
06:04:44 <nighthawkcm> meaning trains / airplanes
06:05:10 <piro> I'm not sure I follow you
06:05:50 <nighthawkcm> well, you have a passenger bus stop that accumulates more passengers then your busses can haul, right?
06:06:46 <yuriks_> speaking of eye candy, I just burned a bunch of money doing this:
06:07:54 <nighthawkcm> cute, maybe move further west (left to increase the size of the loops for train speed?
06:08:38 <piro> nighthawkcm: So what should I do?
06:09:30 <yuriks_> yay, I have one million pounds =P
06:09:34 <nighthawkcm> Well, you cant do much usually except more busses, if the bus station is at the edge of a town/ city you can try to use trains to transport a larger amount of passengers, but besides that not really anything
06:12:23 <nighthawkcm> 194 fastly shrinking due to many trains being purchased
06:12:48 <yuriks_> what year? I'm on 1970 still =P
06:13:40 <NCommander> transfers work amazingly well
06:13:49 * NCommander has everything feeding into a hub station
06:14:00 <piro> This is my first game. I am quite overwhelmed
06:14:26 <yuriks_> I always start a new one, I need to stop doing that =P
06:15:03 <nighthawkcm> 1986 - 14 Planes 41 trains
06:15:22 <nighthawkcm> I hope to reach 250 Trains in this network .. hopefully it works out
06:18:48 <yuriks_> what do the circle colors in the train overview window mean?
06:20:40 <nighthawkcm> judges the income I think, green is very good, yellow is ok, grey is hard limit and red means you loose money
06:21:04 <yuriks_> they're all on green ^_^
06:21:20 *** Jolteon has joined #openttd
06:26:01 * NCommander is incredibly happy with his performance
06:26:10 <NCommander> Is there a good way to take a screen shot so people can see how much crack I am on?
06:27:07 <nighthawkcm> strg + s on my keyboard
06:28:39 <NCommander> so how much crack am I on for this design?
06:28:53 * NCommander notes that everything is actually profitable, although its not 100% clear
06:30:22 <nighthawkcm> nice feeder service ^^
06:31:04 <NCommander> yuriks_: it works extremely well
06:31:08 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: thanks, this is my first night playing
06:32:00 <nighthawkcm> welcome to the most addictive transport game .. I played Transport Tycoon back in the days when they first released it anno domini before the pope was born ^^
06:32:53 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: I'm thinking of setting up truck service to funnel livestock into the factory, as those farms aren't making enough to warrent running additional train cars
06:33:45 <NCommander> yuriks_: what's wrong with two way track? If I made this one way, I'd have to run four tracks for six trains
06:33:48 <nighthawkcm> careful, if you service them well they might increase production, usually its suggested to use trucks on short routes, but thats if you aim for efficiency, otherwise its cool, and chaotic ^
06:34:41 <yuriks_> NCommander: was talking about your mainline
06:34:45 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: indeed. I thought about using trucks to feed from the Mines to the factory, but it didn't seem too much
06:34:48 <yuriks_> which seems to be two way
06:34:54 <NCommander> yuriks_: and it is,
06:35:05 <yuriks_> you don't need more tracks, you just put more trains on the same track
06:35:17 <NCommander> yuriks_: its a matter of where trains are going
06:35:39 <NCommander> yuriks_: right now, I cna get better performance using both tracks as iron moves a LOT faster than coal
06:36:08 <NCommander> so I can run two trains the same direction, and then have the coal trains run in parallel with each other
06:37:31 <yuriks_> you can run two trains in the same direction with one way tracks =P
06:40:18 <NCommander> yuriks_: I suppose, maybe time to change things up
06:42:19 * NCommander should start replacing his trains
06:45:02 <NCommander> time to make the mainline one way
06:47:15 <piro> Thank god for autoreplacing of old vehicles. I think I'd die if I had to manually replace them all
06:51:12 * NCommander just crashed two trains
06:51:17 <NCommander> I think I finally have the hang of this
06:51:22 <NCommander> although I'm sitll no where near perfect
06:51:58 <NCommander> anyone up for some multiplayer? (if they don't mind playing with a noob)
06:53:32 <yuriks_> I probably over-engineered this
06:55:20 <yuriks_> NCommander: I would play, but I'm gonna stop playing now for the night XD
06:55:32 <NCommander> yuriks_: no need to stop ;-)
06:56:27 <yuriks_> ugh, why does this city randomly starts and stops accepting food
07:10:21 <De_Ghosty> yuriks_ cuz ur station is on the edge of town
07:10:34 <De_Ghosty> use the question mark and click on a building
07:10:40 <De_Ghosty> it tell you what it accepts
07:11:14 <De_Ghosty> when build changes sometimes it change to accept goods
07:11:22 <yuriks_> yeah, I'm on the edge of the map
07:11:34 <yuriks_> any way around that? =|
07:11:46 <De_Ghosty> yea make a bigger station
07:11:54 <De_Ghosty> so you touch more of the city
07:12:06 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: there are tracks between the station and the city =P
07:12:44 <De_Ghosty> is ur game on network?
07:13:16 <yuriks_> I'm on network mode, but playing solo xD
07:13:39 <De_Ghosty> why don't u just turn your station sideways?
07:13:58 <yuriks_> De_Ghosty: tracking get's tricky, I think
07:14:30 <yuriks_> hmm, I think I'll do that
07:17:47 <Jupix> long term solution might be to start growing that town and concentrate on other parts of the network while it does that :P
07:18:06 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
07:18:09 <yuriks_> kind of hard to grow the town if I can't reliably deliver food to it
07:18:42 <Jupix> does it need food to grow? it's outside the desert
07:18:53 <De_Ghosty> fyi only edge of town accept food i think city accept goods and something
07:19:08 <De_Ghosty> it need water on desert
07:21:04 <Jupix> Any town where the centre square is in the desert requires food and water to grow. Non-desert towns require neither food nor water.
07:21:30 <Jupix> i'd run a few buses there and see if starts to grow
07:21:51 <andythenorth> the town window tells you if food + water are required
07:22:48 *** Progman has joined #openttd
07:23:18 *** einKarl has joined #openttd
07:24:38 <yuriks_> well, heh, turns out it didn't need food nor water to grow
07:24:50 <yuriks_> so, passenger trains?
07:25:00 <yuriks_> or do you mean local buses?
07:27:10 <yuriks_> is it a good idea to set buses to fully load?
07:27:13 <Jupix> passenger trains might also work but might also disrupt the cargo station
07:28:43 <Jupix> i'm not sure which is better but personally i often build 2 bus stops and 2 or 4 buses with one full load stop per bus, with each bus full loading a different stop
07:28:56 <NCommander> when playing with competeriors, they don't start at the beginning?
07:31:03 <Jupix> might be a good idea to terraform the fruit plantation / farm side of the train station so that you can tunnel underneath it and expand the city there
07:32:25 <Jupix> that's just splitting hairs, though :P
07:32:43 <yuriks_> what do you mean with terraform, though?
07:33:32 <nighthawkcm> change the landscape round it to your needs
07:33:35 <Jupix> lower the land next to the station so that you can demolish one of the buildings on the other side of the hill and build a tunnel
07:34:07 <Jupix> then you can build roads in the free space and the city will possibly grow there
07:34:24 <Jupix> and the train station will become encapsulated in the city and receive a lot of passengers
07:34:41 <yuriks_> oh, you mean making a road tunnel?
07:37:04 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
07:42:03 <yuriks_> I didn't know buses helped this much =(
07:42:12 <yuriks_> town already has 1k people
07:44:31 <Jupix> is it starting to grow to the SE?
07:44:47 <yuriks_> wait, I read it wrong
07:45:10 <Jupix> i was thinking that was pretty fast :D
07:45:46 <yuriks_> so I have 2.5mil and have no idea what to do with the money
07:45:55 <yuriks_> apart from more silly mega projects
07:49:10 <yuriks_> hmm, can you see what's wrong with my signaling?
07:49:25 <yuriks_> the trains exit fine via the bottom tunnel if the left section of the station isn't full
07:51:03 * NCommander is a very successful trucking and rail company going
07:51:26 <Jupix> yuriks_: you probably need an entry signal at the west side tunnel entrance
07:53:35 <Jupix> the east section exit signals are showing red because the fruit train is stopped within that block
07:53:47 <Jupix> unless this is some PBS thing that i can't decipher
07:53:59 <yuriks_> the fruit train got stuck there
07:54:06 <yuriks_> because none of the trains would exit the station
07:54:17 <yuriks_> I tried to make one ignore the signals a few times and it got itself there somehow
07:55:08 <Jupix> yeah, try removing the piece of track that connects the right side tunnel to the loop at the bottom and see if the trains start leaving the station
07:55:27 <Jupix> if they do then you need to add signals
07:55:34 <yuriks_> ok, I did some manual plumbing and cleaned up the trains
07:57:00 *** Alberth has joined #openttd

08:04:32 * NCommander finds the AI isn't doing anything useful
08:07:48 <NCommander> both AIs just got closed by creditors
08:10:15 <yuriks_> my new station positioning isn't supplying maize
08:13:46 *** Phazorx has joined #openttd

10:32:02 <Ammler> it needs days until it segfaults
10:32:35 *** snack23 has joined #openttd
10:34:29 <frosch123> just type "ulimit -c unlimited" in the console before starting the server to enable core file generation
10:35:01 <frosch123> or put it directly in .bashrc or similiar :)
10:36:02 <frosch123> except you likely do not want corefiles on a webserver which regulary needs to restart services :p
10:42:56 <OwenS> frosch123, you mean, if you run lightHTTPd? :p
10:43:33 <frosch123> no idea, iirc it was best to not remeber anything about it, or so
10:55:05 <Rubidium> Ammler: by any chance, do you still have the autosave from the previous month and the desync logs?
10:56:25 <Ammler> Rubidium: before this seg fault?
10:56:35 <Rubidium> yes, from before the segfault
10:56:44 <Rubidium> one from after it is kinda useless, ain't it?
10:57:48 <Rubidium> maybe SmatZ can, with his assembler knowledge, determing where in that function it crashed if he has the binary
10:57:58 <Ammler> :-( forgot to enable debug desync again
10:58:17 <Ammler> and disabled autosave because of the desync saves, so no
10:59:43 <OwenS> Rubidium: On systems which support it, you should keep -g in and separate the debugging information out using the GNU debug link feature
11:01:01 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
11:03:39 <planetmaker> a very good day to you :-)
11:04:29 <planetmaker> Ammler: do I get it right, we have a crashing PS?!
11:05:18 <planetmaker> oh. crash on stable?!
11:05:30 <Ammler> yeah, we should enable asserts
11:06:30 <Rubidium> what about all the CVEs that have been fixed since then?
11:06:45 <Ammler> currentyl nightly is running with fast forward :-D
11:07:03 <planetmaker> 1.4.1 is current...
11:07:49 <Rubidium> if you don't trust just-released libraries
11:08:35 <Rubidium> Ammler: to fix it, see the last commit
11:09:18 <OwenS> Rubidium, if it is, say, RHEL, then the fixes will have been backported (Though you would expect to see a .rh5 or such on the end...)
11:10:13 <Rubidium> still, releasing a beta in a long-time-stable release sounds kinda odd
11:10:21 <Ammler> this is debian lenny, afaik
11:10:52 <Rubidium> Ammler: no, it isn't... that has 1.2.27-2+lenny2
11:11:09 <Rubidium> it might be etch with 1.2.15~beta5-1+etch2
11:11:21 <Rubidium> but that doesn't have security support anymore
11:12:12 <Ammler> ah, etch, those debian names are confusing for outsiders :-)
11:12:48 <Ammler> you think, our crash could be because of the png?
11:12:57 <Ammler> or was that a side note?
11:13:08 <Rubidium> Ammler: then call it 4.0
11:13:20 <OwenS> Considering you're not running 32bpp on the server
11:13:20 <Rubidium> quite unlikely it's png
11:13:26 <peter1138> debian lenny, but your kernel is 2.6.18.1.20061155-ralph.33.p4? :s
11:13:48 <Rubidium> but something quite funky must have happened
11:14:16 <planetmaker> nice... TTRS is now on bananas.
11:14:23 <Rubidium> anyhow, please keep the binary and the crash log stuff around so "we" can look at it later; don't have the time to do that now
11:16:00 <SmatZ> Rubidium: I tried it few times, but OTTD code is too complicated to find the correct place... one chance would be to compile binary with the same parameters, but do not strip it
11:16:05 <SmatZ> so there is at least some info
11:16:29 <SmatZ> code & addresses stay the same
11:17:37 <OwenS> This kind of thing is why I love the GDB debug links. You keep the small executables, but debugging information remains available

11:41:59 <Ammler> Rubidium: looks like the other side made some bashrc hacks?
11:43:24 <Ammler> I added once "tail /var/log/messages" to bashrc and that failed my rsync script...

12:23:41 <Ammler> I wasn't around and we don't have any presaves or logs

14:03:00 <PeterT> Oh, I probably forgot to allow an exception in the firewall
14:26:19 <saLOUt> hi all, I just installed openttd 1.0.0 from opensuse repos. I have two problems.
14:28:17 <saLOUt> 2) how do I get the old windows music to work? with old versions it works after I copied the files into the right place, but now the files seems to not be found as there is no windows options in the music settings.
14:28:47 <PeterT> Game options -> Music set
14:28:59 <PeterT> report that error in the appropriate AI thread
14:29:30 <saLOUt> PeterT: there is only one music set: openmsk
14:30:21 <Eddi|zuHause> saLOUt: you're sure that it's the right place, AND the files are unmodified?
14:30:27 <saLOUt> PeterT: I tested openttd with admiralAI on windows XP and got no error. So the error may probably not related to the AI itself...
14:31:01 <Eddi|zuHause> saLOUt: can you check the md5sums of the files, and compare them with original_windows.obm (in the game directory)
14:31:01 <saLOUt> Eddi|zuHause: I only know that it worked before with an old release. I think it was something like 0.7
14:31:25 <Eddi|zuHause> saLOUt: yes, the old releases did not check the md5sum
14:32:57 *** Chillosophy has joined #openttd
14:33:07 <saLOUt> Eddi|zuHause: in /usr/share/openttd/gm there is a openmsx.obm but no original_windows.obm.
14:33:31 <Eddi|zuHause> saLOUt: it should have been installed with the game
14:33:59 <saLOUt> so it should be placed next to openmsx.obm?
14:34:00 <Eddi|zuHause> ./bin/gm/orig_win.obm
14:34:01 <Eddi|zuHause> ./bin/gm/no_music.obm
14:37:07 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
14:37:17 <saLOUt> Ammler, Eddi|zuHause: the opensuse repo package called openttd-data doesnt contain any other obm-files.
14:37:37 <Eddi|zuHause> saLOUt: no, the openttd package itself must contain it
14:37:42 <Ammler> you used the games repo, I assume?
14:38:00 <saLOUt> I don't know if this is really a bug, because you have to copy some files manually anyway
14:38:19 <Ammler> saLOUt: you have to copy the original ttd files, yes.
14:38:47 <saLOUt> Ammler: so the next time i copy these files i will pay attention to copy the obm file, too.
14:38:48 <Ammler> you need to copy those to ~/.openttd/
14:39:00 <Eddi|zuHause> saLOUt: this is a bug in the packaging, if the openttd package (not openttd-data) does not contain those two files
14:39:08 <Ammler> saLOUt: no need, they should be in the package
14:39:27 <saLOUt> Ammler: do you use the same repo?
14:39:35 <Ammler> but I guess, the guy there does because of some reason do a manual install
14:40:07 <saLOUt> prusnak@suse.cz is the mail adress mentioned in the .rpm meta infos
14:40:30 <Ammler> yeah, I know, I already prepared a patch for him...
14:41:03 <saLOUt> so i don't report the bug as you will already do?
14:41:25 <Ammler> so he might see others having issues
14:41:32 <saLOUt> whats the difference between those two openttd repos?
14:41:46 <Ammler> games is kinda official suse
14:41:57 <Ammler> the other one is "my factory"
14:43:09 <Ammler> it does also have dev tools for newgrfs
14:43:26 <Ammler> or the package to join #openttdcoop server
14:45:03 <Ammler> or dedicated server version :-)
14:45:11 <saLOUt> Ammler: you should try to get a copy of your packages directly into the games repo. I think there is something like a copy-function in opensuse build service to reach this
14:45:31 <Ammler> yes, called submit-request, I know :-)
14:46:20 <Ammler> because of support for dedicated and patches and branches, my spec is a bit too complicated for mainstream, I fear.

14:50:15 <marmotz> hi, excuse my english but i'm french... i'm using Ubuntu (10.04 but 9.10 has the same problem). I've downloaded openttd 1.0, opensfx and openmsx. No soucy with openttd and opensfx. No music played. when i launch openttd music player, all the tracks was displaying very quickly but no music played.
14:50:42 <marmotz> i must install a midi player on my ubuntu to play music in openttd ?
14:51:15 <glx> and also check known-bugs.txt
14:51:33 <Ammler> I would guess, if you install with apt-get, such things does happen automatically
14:51:33 <marmotz> i follow all instructions, but nothing to do...
14:52:09 <marmotz> Ammler: no, openttd was installed by .deb on openttd website
14:52:31 <marmotz> thanks Ammler i've got the music :)
14:53:23 <Ammler> doesn't the openttd deb packages recommend to install timidity?
14:53:23 <marmotz> and thank you to understand my very bad english :)
14:53:35 <PeterT> how interesting: <bja> Sorry to bug but todays connection is a bit flakey

15:14:37 <saLOUt> Ammler: your openttd version cannot be found via webpin...
15:15:15 <Ammler> yep, webpin is broken quite some time already...
15:16:32 <Ammler> the only missing repo here is packman, which you have installed anyway.
15:17:49 <saLOUt> Ammler: download.opensuse is down...

15:48:56 *** Biolunar has joined #openttd
15:49:25 <planetmaker> probably included sound an music
15:51:50 <saLOUt> planetmaker: thought that would be already included in openttd-data
15:52:16 <planetmaker> saLOUt: yes. But not in ...opengfx
15:53:00 <planetmaker> and one might be quite content with just installing opengfx. A base graphics set is needed. Sound and music are purely optional
15:53:17 <planetmaker> (or the NoSound set is part of OpenTTD rather ;-) )
15:55:58 <saLOUt> admiralAI seems to be platform dependant. works with winXP and doesn't with linux.
15:56:20 <planetmaker> use the same version on both?
15:57:30 <saLOUt> dbg: [ai] [1] [S] Your script made an error: the index 'GetHeight' does not exist
15:59:31 <frosch123> GetHeight is ancient, you are using a very outdated version of admiral ai
15:59:52 <saLOUt> frosch123: good to know. I used the the ingame downloader.
16:00:02 <saLOUt> admiralAI seems to be v22
16:00:08 <frosch123> maybe it does not find the compatibility wrappers
16:00:11 <planetmaker> that sounds about current
16:01:07 <frosch123> ok, it got removed in 1.0, so agreed not that ancient :)
16:01:42 <frosch123> saLOUt: likely you are missing "compat_0.7.nut", resp ottd does not find it
16:02:38 <saLOUt> frosch123: where do this file have to be placed?
16:04:29 <saLOUt> frosch123: indeed, there is no compat_.. file in my /usr/share/openttd
16:04:44 <frosch123> for me it is in the ai folder next to the data folder, no idea where it goes in a regular installation
16:05:03 <Eddi|zuHause> saLOUt: another bug in the packaging?
16:05:22 <saLOUt> Eddi|zuHause: seems so. Also in the package of Ammler.

16:19:21 <Ammler> hmm, i might see the issue
16:19:39 <Ammler> you need also to install openttd-data from my repo
16:23:33 <Ammler> yes, that isn't "my" data package
16:24:30 <Ammler> I splitted openttd in gui dedicated and data,

16:26:27 <OwenS> WebGL is well defined, based on existing standards, and already has working implementations. So naturally Microsoft wont support it." Hehe
16:26:30 <saLOUt> Ammler: so which packages do i need for a fullfeatured opensource non-dev opentttd installation?
16:26:59 <Ammler> openttd and openttd-data
16:27:42 <saLOUt> Ammler: ok, maybe i did some mistakes...
16:28:00 <frosch123> George: those are most likely updated when attaching/removing/reordering wagons, when refitting, and when leaving the depot
16:28:07 <Ammler> yeah, I assume, you only updated openttd and forgot about openttd-data
16:28:22 <Ammler> I need to make that dependency more specific, it seems
16:28:42 <Ammler> wasn't aware that official maintainer used that too, as it is useless there
16:29:23 <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123, George: what about changing railtype?
16:29:46 <frosch123> te and power most likely also when chaing railtype, speed maybe not
16:30:22 <saLOUt> maybe my mistake: wrong rpm .. versions i am going to see if everything works for now. after all the games rpms are really broken.

17:50:53 <frosch123> and the reverse for forrests?
17:51:05 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: yep, I think something like that
17:51:52 <andythenorth> I can check how many farms are already on the map
17:52:00 <andythenorth> that will sort the first one out :)
17:52:48 <andythenorth> currently I find farm transport really dull....which is a bit dull because I put lots of farms into FIRS :P
17:53:05 <Eddi|zuHause> well, if you strictly look for the first one on the map, then they make some continuous space, which might be suboptimal on large maps
17:53:32 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: I can occasionally randomly branch and just build one 'anywhere'
17:53:42 <andythenorth> farms need low output, and they need to cluster. Then RVs can move small amounts to a railhead or port.
17:53:45 <frosch123> what makes transporting other cargo less dull?
17:53:58 <andythenorth> it just looks stupid building a train line to every farm
17:54:07 <andythenorth> and equally stupid servicing one farm with twenty or more rvs
18:01:08 <Terkhen> I have 43 rv for an arable farm + fruit plantation, and the destination is roughly 20 tiles away
18:01:29 <andythenorth> does it look silly? :)
18:02:28 <andythenorth> is it a good idea to force farms to locate *away* from town? I think not
18:02:53 <Terkhen> only quite busy... the arable farm is producing 423+423 and the fruit plantation produces 387
18:02:56 <b_jonas> Terkhen: but how many farms and plantations are there?
18:03:13 <b_jonas> I mean 20 per farm would be a lot
18:03:17 <b_jonas> but 20 in a complex is okay
18:03:22 <Terkhen> a single arable farm and a single fruit plantation
18:03:52 <andythenorth> farm production is going to be lower in future FIRS :)
18:04:36 <andythenorth> frosch123: what are the possible range of values for the production multiplier? I can't seem to find it documented :o
18:05:07 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: i think the default industries don't go below 4
18:05:13 <frosch123> hmm, i can think of several things that could be called production multiplier :s
18:05:29 <andythenorth> nvm, I found it straight after asking the question m(
18:06:02 <andythenorth> production rate is a value between 04h and 80h
18:07:11 <andythenorth> I assume the rate is multiplied by the values of prop 12 or 13 in industry action 0?
18:07:16 <andythenorth> that seems to be the case anyway
18:07:54 <frosch123> yes, but there is also a flag to multiply the production callback result by the rate
18:09:05 <andythenorth> interesting...where is that?
18:09:38 <andythenorth> my purpose here is just setting an upper limit on primary production
18:12:54 * andythenorth does some maths to try and understand primary productin
18:15:15 <andythenorth> so the coal mine has prop 12 as 21, which would imply max production of 10,080t when rate is 80
18:15:27 <andythenorth> But that leve is never reach
18:15:32 <andythenorth> ahem, bad typing
18:15:40 <andythenorth> that level is never reached
18:16:40 * andythenorth meh, read the source
18:17:38 <nighthawkcm> I wish industries you se3rvice dont suddenly close, and actually rise more as you service them well ...
18:18:04 <nighthawkcm> I think the time / year you are in also modifies the output, my coal mines produce way more since 2010
18:20:39 <pazifi> i have a quastion to openttd. how can i sell or rid busses or trains?
18:20:59 <OwenS> pazifi, send them to depot then drag them to the trash
18:21:12 <b_jonas> does it happen in openttd too that if you don't service oil refineries from oil wells then all of them close up before the first sea oil rig appears
18:22:09 <nighthawkcm> can happen, same with factories
18:22:13 <pazifi> OwenS: okay. where is the trash-symbol? but i don't see the trashsymbol :/
18:22:42 <OwenS> pazifi, on the right hand side of the depot window
18:23:00 <pazifi> orudge: with one car and a cross?
18:23:05 <andythenorth> after reading the source, I am not much the wiser about industry production
18:23:16 <pazifi> ähm OwenS,.. sorry not orudge
18:23:30 <frosch123> andythenorth: a primary industry produces every 256 ticks (8 or 9 times a month). everytime it produces prop12 resp. prop13 * productionrate / 16 (with 16 being the default ratE)
18:23:40 <OwenS> pazifi, that sounds right. I may be thinking original graphics
18:23:44 <pazifi> OwenS: i must drag an drop
18:23:51 <andythenorth> frosch123: thanks. make sense
18:25:03 <andythenorth> that would make perfect sense with maxing out coal mines at 1080t, which is what FIRS does IIRC
18:41:34 <Eddi|zuHause> <b_jonas> does it happen in openttd too that if you don't service oil refineries from oil wells then all of them close up before the first sea oil rig appears <-- theoretically the last industry is supposed to be protected from closing

19:40:09 <planetmaker> hm... my download content seems to be broken, the tars I get seem to be trunkated. Any pointers how to start digging into the issue?
19:40:20 <planetmaker> Deleting and re-downloading is not what's going to help
19:40:34 <planetmaker> it's reproducable for me, with a number of grfs / AI
19:41:05 <planetmaker> if I leave content download and re-enter it, the just downloaded stuff is also marked as not present (again)
19:41:54 <planetmaker> so OpenTTD regognizes that the previous download has not the correct md5sum, though immediately after download I have a green bullet next to the stuff
19:42:40 <planetmaker> And it seems I'm not the only one as I've talked to another person who has the same issue... might be yet another OSX...
19:42:54 <Eddi|zuHause> somewhere in the forum it said something about known bug...
19:42:59 <Eddi|zuHause> but i don't know any details
19:43:11 <planetmaker> it's not known in the sense of "is on FS yet"
19:43:22 <planetmaker> but I'd like to know more :-)
19:43:38 <planetmaker> And I posted in at least one of those threads.
19:43:45 <peter1138> i think i had it on windows, actually
19:44:05 <peter1138> maybe it's a mirror being odd?
19:44:08 *** kkb1101 has joined #openttd
19:44:10 <planetmaker> peter1138: my testcase is the current NoCAB 2.0.4.
19:44:26 <planetmaker> I have no idea whether it's the mirror or not. How could I test?
19:44:37 <planetmaker> If I manually download the tar from the forum - all is fine.
19:44:59 <planetmaker> My mirror is the NL mirror afaik
19:45:21 <planetmaker> at least that's where I end up with binaries.openttd.org
19:47:46 <planetmaker> when I get the tar.gz from that mirror, gunzip it, all is fine, too
19:48:05 <planetmaker> (doing that manually that is)
19:53:29 *** Coco-Banana-Man has joined #openttd
19:53:51 <planetmaker> hm... can I teach OpenTTD to keep the tar.gz which it downloaded?
19:55:40 <frosch123> he, also happens for me
19:56:52 <frosch123> but, the tar arrives and looks all fine
19:57:09 <planetmaker> and too small and wrong md5sum
19:57:13 <frosch123> how does the gui detemine whether a version is present?
19:57:28 <planetmaker> filename and for AIs the version
20:00:04 <frosch123> it is not truncated for me
20:00:32 <frosch123> if i download the tar.gz from bananas webinterface and extract it, i get the same file
20:00:51 <frosch123> but the gui shows it as not installed
20:01:04 <planetmaker> it's missing 26kByte for NoCAB 2.0.4
20:01:19 <frosch123> 430080 <- that is my filesize
20:01:43 <frosch123> 88912 <- resp. the compressed one
20:02:24 <planetmaker> that's the one which works for me, too. But the content_download one is only 409600 bytes
20:03:33 <planetmaker> But I get the same thing with virtually every ai I tried to update
20:03:38 <frosch123> restarting ottd makes the gui show the correct thing
20:04:23 <OwenS> Thats an odd number. Which for some reason reminds me of the case of a mail server failing to send mail to sites beyond a certain distance
20:04:56 <frosch123> ok, verified with trans ai. downloading work, but closing and reopening the content gui makes the "dot" vanish, while restarting ottd makes it permanent
20:05:01 <frosch123> so, different issue :)
20:05:22 <planetmaker> is your trainsAI working?
20:05:41 <planetmaker> what you report wrt GUI is the same here. Additionally the file is really broken
20:06:02 <frosch123> hmm, trans or trains :s
20:06:16 <planetmaker> but different is: a re-start won't make the dots green for me.
20:06:25 <frosch123> trAIns-2.tar <- ok, ls -ltr says it downloaded that one :p
20:07:19 <frosch123> yeah, there seem to be two issues :) the files are not properly rescanned/marked. and for you they are not downloaded properly
20:08:03 <planetmaker> ok. Any ideas how I should tackle the wrong download and /or gunzip?
20:08:26 <planetmaker> I guess I should start with not gunzipping and looking whether the gzip is the same...
20:08:43 <frosch123> and trans has incomplete dependencies on bananas
20:09:05 <planetmaker> I'll test with simpleAI. Least traffic
20:09:27 <frosch123> unlink(GetFullFilename(this->curInfo, false)); <- comment that line
20:10:04 <frosch123> hmm, wrong line, that one is for music :)

20:13:05 <frosch123> oh, the library trans requires is not even on bananas?

20:15:48 <planetmaker> frosch123: thanks. The downloaded gzip is fine.
20:17:50 <frosch123> makes it sound like an osx issue again :p
20:18:39 <planetmaker> maybe... maybe it's all the ****** new zlib version
20:19:22 <planetmaker> zlib @1.2.4 archivers/zlib
20:19:43 <planetmaker> it was working with my previous one. But I don't quite know wheter it also worked for some time with this one...

20:38:20 <planetmaker> hm... we can conclude that zlib 1.2.4 is broken on mac(ports)
20:38:32 <planetmaker> with zlib 1.3.3_3 I don't have issues
20:39:02 <planetmaker> which was the long-term version till they started to work again in late 2009 on the lib.
20:40:31 <planetmaker> and then I have the same issue as you, frosch123, with the availability-bullets

20:41:38 <planetmaker> what zlib version do you use?

22:18:10 <SpComb> You have been Euphemized
22:18:16 <SpComb> it's zlib from the 1970's or something?
22:18:46 <SmatZ> the webpage looks like from the 1970's
22:25:55 <frosch123> so, gzeof() is broken
22:26:28 <frosch123> if (read == 0 && gzeof(fin)) break; <- replacing the "while (!gzeof(fin))" with that fixes it for me
22:29:38 <SmatZ> frosch123: yeah, I read that
22:29:57 <SmatZ> but I wonder when that was implemented
22:37:04 <Rubidium> the debian maintainer of zlib kind-of doesn't trust zlib 1.2.3.5 (and hasn't even bothered with 1.2.4 yet)
22:39:05 <Rubidium> so any zlib >= 1.2.3.5 is broken beyond use
22:40:12 <SmatZ> looks so, I don't have 1.2.3.x in my repo though
22:40:38 <SmatZ> but the zlib 1.2.3 I am using is from October 2010
22:40:40 <Rubidium> 1.2.3 for you might very well be 1.2.3.4 or so
22:41:26 <Rubidium> - Note in zlib.h that gzerror() should be used to distinguish from EOF
22:41:37 <Rubidium> from zlib's changelog
22:41:44 <frosch123> i did not found that note though :p
22:43:00 <SmatZ> since when does that apply?
22:43:20 <frosch123> the description of gzeof says that it may return false, while eof has actually been reached (i.e. gzread will return 0), but that it gzread will not read anymore after gzeof returned true
