00:01:37 *** bryjen has quit IRC
00:03:42 <fjb> I never needed that "build while paused" feature. But which AI gives you that problems?
00:05:13 *** ecke has joined #openttd
00:15:05 <NCommander> fjb: PassAI I think, although I'm still a newbie :-/
00:20:38 *** ptr has quit IRC
00:20:43 <NCommander> I think I want to have a main line with many industries, with both termius (with pass through lanes), but I'm not quite sure how to build it :-/
00:21:28 <Brianetta> I find that the mouse is a good start...
00:23:21 <NCommander> Brianetta: heh ;-)
00:32:17 <fjb> Start easy. Look for a coal mine a power station or steel mill. Extend your network from that.
00:34:39 *** Fast2 has quit IRC
00:42:56 <NCommander> fjb: right, I got that part, but I have issues when I want to have trains then go from the steel mill to say a factory, and it needs to pass back along the same track
00:43:21 <fjb> Use path signals.
00:44:56 <NCommander> fjb: I guess my problem is I have issues figuring out how to smartly/sanly build stations, I think I need to build a junction on each one that will be a terminus in its own right (at least right now)
00:46:02 <fjb> Build not too complicated while you are a newbie. You will learn the complicated things over time.
00:46:11 <NCommander> The other thing I'm not sure about is it better to have one train dedicated to taking iron ore to a steel mill, then another take it from said mill to the factory, OR have two trains do all three, and half part of their cars empty
00:46:23 <NCommander> fjb: right, sorry. I greatly enjoy this game, I just don't want to suck at it ;-)
00:47:28 <fjb> One (or more) train(s) bring or from the mine to the steel mill. Other trains bring the steel from the mill to the factory.
00:48:04 <fjb> You suck if you start too complicated without knowing what you are doing.
00:48:13 <NCommander> right
00:48:16 * NCommander starts building
00:49:25 <fjb> That is the best way to learn. If you fail start over again and make it better. You learn from every station and every line you build. And everybody has to find his own building style.
01:00:24 <Eddi|zuHause> ... this damn forum did it again...
01:00:50 <PeterT> As it does every night.
01:02:00 <Eddi|zuHause> why can't it do that at like 7 AM, when literally nobody is accessing the forum?
01:04:30 *** Devroush has quit IRC
01:07:17 <fjb> 7 AM where?
01:07:43 <PeterT> 7AM in Europe, and 2 AM in the states
01:07:53 *** Brianetta has quit IRC
01:07:55 <PeterT> But I check the forums when I get up
01:08:05 <PeterT> at 6-630
01:09:26 <fjb> It's like demanding no porn on the internet before midnight.
01:10:22 <Eddi|zuHause> fjb: the ttd community is 90% european
01:11:06 <Eddi|zuHause> and european bandwidth usage is lowest around 6-7 AM
01:11:22 <fjb> You should respect minorities.
01:23:00 <NCommander> fjb: I think i finally had my first successful network :-)
01:23:54 <fjb> Good. The next one gets better. One step after the other.

02:21:37 <NCommander> wow
02:21:37 * NCommander coughs
02:21:39 <NCommander> sorry
02:21:41 <NCommander> wrong copy/pate
02:21:55 <NCommander> yuriks: http://img535.imageshack.us/i/pendhamtransport10thsep.png/
02:23:31 <yuriks> NCommander: nice, that looks organized
02:23:51 <NCommander> there are some places where I could have done better but this is my first network railroad :-)
02:24:51 <NCommander> yuriks: I'm using timetables so I don't get a late delay but my trains aren't running empty
02:26:43 *** devilsadvocate has quit IRC
02:27:14 <yuriks> right now I'm trying to make my railroad overtake-capable, but I'm failing hard =P
02:29:32 <NCommander> yuriks: ?
02:29:46 <yuriks> like, I have this long ass straigh track (two way)
02:29:56 <yuriks> but sometimes slower trains get in front of faster trains
02:30:01 <yuriks> slowing them down a lot
02:30:14 <yuriks> so I'm trying to make it so that the trains can overtake them using the other track if it's free
02:30:47 <NCommander> yuriks: isn't that just a matter of using one way path signals?
02:31:17 *** zodttd has quit IRC
02:31:35 *** Progman has quit IRC
02:32:16 <Eddi|zuHause> yuriks: no, the overtaking support has never been implemented
02:33:27 <yuriks> Eddi|zuHause: bah
02:34:33 <NCommander> yuriks: interested in any online play?
02:34:50 <yuriks> Eddi|zuHause: what do you suggest instead? making another track outwards for overtaking?
02:34:55 <yuriks> or does not even that work?
02:35:41 <Eddi|zuHause> yuriks: 3 tracks work rather well... two single direction ones on the outside, and a bidirectional one in the middle
02:35:44 <yuriks> NCommander: maybe, I want to keep my lovely train network though xD
02:35:51 <Eddi|zuHause> make sure the middle sections are long enough
02:35:54 <yuriks> Eddi|zuHause: hmmm, that's a good idea
02:36:01 <NCommander> yuriks: heh, how long have you been playing OpenTTD?
02:36:15 <yuriks> NCommander: since the start of the week, I guess?
02:37:33 <Eddi|zuHause> yuriks: www.informatik.uni-halle.de
02:37:37 <Eddi|zuHause> bäh
02:37:57 <yuriks> huh?
02:38:10 <Eddi|zuHause> yuriks: www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~krause/Klein%20Elsmuenster%20Transport,%2023.%20Maer%201942.png
02:38:17 <yuriks> oh
02:38:49 <yuriks> the signaling interval looks kinda long though
02:40:07 <Eddi|zuHause> it won't work when they are too short
02:40:35 *** Rhamphoryncus has joined #openttd
02:40:39 <Eddi|zuHause> trains will end up standing opposite of each other most of the time
02:41:03 <yuriks> hmm, I'll definitly try that
02:41:49 <NCommander> yuriks: if you post a screen shot, I might be able ot help, I got my first overtake (around a station though) to work
02:43:30 <piro> So what do you do if you've made a train system that delivers mail between two cities, and then one city stops accepting mail, and the other city gets really mad?
02:44:01 <yuriks> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1990844/2010-04/Brunnwell%20Transport%2C%2012th%20Mar%201988.png
02:44:03 <Eddi|zuHause> piro: fund new buildings
02:44:11 <yuriks> ignore the fact that they are all runnin the same way
02:44:17 <Eddi|zuHause> or try to extend the catchment area
02:44:18 <yuriks> that's because I just messed up the signaling
02:46:42 *** devilsadvocate has joined #openttd
02:48:27 <piro> Eddi|zuHause: I'm not sure I follow you
02:49:08 <Eddi|zuHause> piro: each station has a catchment area around it. the more houses it covers, the more likely it accepts mail
02:49:29 <piro> Eddi|zuHause: So how do you extend the area?
02:49:43 <piro> Oh right. Build bigger stations
02:49:49 <Eddi|zuHause> by adding more parts to the station
02:51:02 <piro> Crap. I can't extend it in any direction that will make it closer to the city. It needs to be extended perpendicular to the way it already sits
02:53:30 <Eddi|zuHause> you can add e.g. a roadstop to the station by holding ctrl while placing it
02:54:23 *** mrruben5 has quit IRC
02:56:22 <piro> You mean a truck station?
02:58:42 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, for example. but a bus station would do the trick as well
02:59:00 <piro> Huh. That's really odd. You can join a train station with a truck station, and magically the train station accepts mail too O_o
02:59:10 <piro> And you can put the truck station in the middle of the city
03:00:00 <yuriks> it's pretty annoying how you can't demolish only parts of a station though
03:04:24 <glx> you can
03:04:34 <yuriks> you can?
03:04:42 <yuriks> when I try to dynamite part of it it blows up the entire thing
03:04:53 <glx> use the bulldozer
03:04:57 <yuriks> oooh
03:08:18 *** glx has quit IRC
03:09:28 *** mrruben5 has joined #openttd
03:11:56 <NCommander> wow
03:12:07 <NCommander> trucks can *really* make an effective passenger feeder service
03:12:31 <yuriks> passenger trucks?
03:12:39 <yuriks> human rights would like to have a word with you ;P
03:23:25 <luckz> :D
04:10:12 <NCommander> yuriks: er, passenger buses :-)
04:10:40 <NCommander> yuriks: but if you make a lot of transfers, you can make your planes make an ASSTON with each trip. I have train runs also getting up words of 20,000 pounds per trip
04:22:07 <yuriks> oh, I have some making about that, too
04:22:16 <yuriks> they travel very far though
04:22:21 <yuriks> so it probably balances out for me =P
04:29:05 <mrruben5> for train length of 6 (TL3), how long should a prio be?
04:32:12 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
04:35:02 <SekiSelu> glx: Using the bulldozer works, but it's annoying that it leaves the track behind
04:35:17 <SekiSelu> (He's long gone)
04:42:20 <yuriks> SekiSelu: meh, it's easy enough to remove the track
04:42:57 <SekiSelu> I'd guess that more often than not you mean to remove the track as well, and it's easy enough to replace it too :)
05:00:44 *** mrruben5 has quit IRC
05:32:17 *** nighthawk_c_m has joined #openttd
05:38:52 <NCommander> yuriks: its a bad sign that I can't spend money fast enough (I think I have bad macromanagement)
05:39:07 <yuriks> NCommander: I have about 10kk and I have no idea what to do with it =P
05:39:19 <NCommander> yuriks: I have 3 million
05:39:20 <NCommander> er
05:39:21 <NCommander> four
05:40:20 <yuriks> yeah, me too
05:40:25 <yuriks> (though I'm not playing atm)
05:44:07 * NCommander built his first ship yard
05:44:21 <yuriks> I only did truck and local buses
05:44:33 <yuriks> most of the fun in the game if building the railroads
05:48:08 <NCommander> Yeah
05:48:21 <NCommander> I think I need to learn how to get every train to work with it set "wait for full load"
05:48:51 <NCommander> wow
05:48:53 <NCommander> boats suck
05:50:38 <NCommander> but that was interesting
05:50:45 * NCommander needs to really learn to make his RR run more smoothly
05:52:39 *** nighthawkcm has joined #openttd
05:57:22 <yuriks> NCommander: just, don't have too many trains, or if you do, have wide stations
05:57:35 <NCommander> yuriks: well, I didn't start with a lot ;-)
05:57:51 <yuriks> and if even that's not enough, have a decent waiting area
05:59:49 *** nighthawk_c_m has quit IRC
06:09:42 <NCommander> yuriks: I guess the other question is how do I make cities grow?
06:10:09 <yuriks> NCommander: stick buses and passenger services there
06:10:23 <yuriks> if they're on the desert you also need food and water

07:05:41 <terinjokes> TrueBrain: I told you that if/when I was back on OSX I would look at some OSX issues... here I am
07:10:24 <planetmaker> good morning
07:11:12 <planetmaker> [09:08] <NCommander> [06:10:40] yuriks: but if you make a lot of transfers, you can make your planes make an ASSTON with each trip. I have train runs also getting up words of 20,000 pounds per trip <-- you should try longer distances
07:11:41 <planetmaker> it's easy to make an income of ~300000 per round-trip
07:12:26 <planetmaker> but it depends upon train length
07:13:36 *** George3 has joined #openttd
07:13:36 *** George has quit IRC
07:13:41 <nighthawkcm> and speed - even a long coal train with a early steasm engine has a hard time making that much due to the extreme travel time
07:18:14 <planetmaker> also true, yes
07:18:27 <planetmaker> I was thinking of a ~12 tile ICE train
07:18:57 <planetmaker> for inter-city passenger service which always finds sufficient passengers to unload and load fully without additional waiting time
07:19:58 <planetmaker> but in my last game I introduced some AsiaStars which made an annual income of ~600000 which were only 5 tiles long (so 8 wagons)
07:20:05 <nighthawkcm> Hmm.. I make 400k with each goods train, but that demands a running network - 5 TL
07:20:21 <planetmaker> sounds aboug a decent one :-)
07:20:28 <planetmaker> *about
07:20:55 <planetmaker> of course good income requires good networks without much of a jam
07:25:19 <nighthawkcm> no jamming at all at the moment

08:18:25 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: well, you can imporve the speed to an extent by doubleheading it
08:19:47 <nighthawkcm> not the speed, it improves acceleration and changes the math how many tiles you climb without loosing speed.
08:19:57 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: oh
08:20:23 <nighthawkcm> the acceleration is important in tightly packed networks with many trains, every single one needs to go as fast to top speed as possible
08:20:31 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: this game is really addictive, I don't remember the last time I played a game all night (I think Starcraft or Rollercoast Tycoon was the last one)
08:20:46 <NCommander> and SimCity 2000 or maybe 3 was the last playable one IMHO
08:20:53 <NCommander> *8000
08:20:55 <NCommander> er
08:20:57 <NCommander> 3000
08:21:20 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: yeah, I started running into that problem. My last game was my first successful network design.
08:21:46 * NCommander experimented with stations that can only be approached in one direct off the mainline, large junctions, transfers, etc.
08:22:12 <nighthawkcm> but if a loco has a max speed of 100 km/h you can't make it go faster by using a second one
08:22:18 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: pity :-/
08:22:35 <peter1138> planetmaker, drawback, not "backdraw" :p
08:22:37 * NCommander wonders if its cheating to use realworld acceleration since I don't level out the hills
08:22:43 <nighthawkcm> hehe - the faster a train is, the bigger the curves have to be so it won't slow down on the ML or SL
08:22:51 <planetmaker> :-)
08:23:04 <planetmaker> thanks
08:23:09 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: true, but I found I didn't have that issue at all except when a train did a u-turn
08:23:16 <nighthawkcm> well, a train with two locos can usually take on 2 tiles of climbing or more
08:23:37 <nighthawkcm> depending on the max speed of your trains
08:24:49 <planetmaker> nighthawkcm: that depends heavily upon the engine power and more heavily upon the acceleration model
08:24:57 <nighthawkcm> http://wiki.openttdcoop.org/Max_Curve_Speed
08:24:57 <planetmaker> and also on the selected steepness of slopes
08:25:05 <planetmaker> and the cargo weight factor
08:25:52 *** roboboy has quit IRC
08:27:00 <nighthawkcm> well I play with the standard setup, not changing it
08:27:28 * NCommander is interested in doing some online play but kinda afraid of sucking too much
08:27:31 <NCommander> :-/
08:27:57 <nighthawkcm> http://de.tinypic.com/r/2ebxq3q/5 Anyone have a idea how I could improve that station exit of the lower station?
08:29:52 * NCommander thinks
08:29:56 *** moot has quit IRC
08:31:41 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: this might be the wrong answer, but you might be able to have the exits become steps and then more graduly have them merge together instead of having on running track sloping across all exits
08:32:37 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: basically, have the top three tracks merge into one, and extend then the tracks in parallel having them merge down into one after some distance so the trains space themselves out
08:34:00 <nighthawkcm> hmm.... that could work .... gonna save and try that.
08:34:53 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: I'm not speaking from experience of any sort; the factory is unfourtnately in a losely position :-/
08:34:56 <nighthawkcm> how long would the extensions need to be?
08:35:43 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: averange train length would probably work best
08:35:46 <NCommander> so basically
08:35:47 <NCommander> you want this
08:35:49 <NCommander> --------
08:35:51 <NCommander> ---------------------
08:35:53 <NCommander> ----------------------------
08:35:55 <NCommander> --------------------------------------------
08:36:22 <NCommander> (you can't do anyhting to improve the top three tracks, so that's always going to be a bottle neck unless you build tunnels over the factory
08:36:28 <NCommander> er
08:36:28 <NCommander> under
08:37:28 <NCommander> If nothing else, more trains will move out of the station and into the exit lanes
08:37:55 <nighthawkcm> well, the problemn with making it longer comes shortly after the station, I'll give a bigger screenie so you see ...
08:39:16 <nighthawkcm> http://de.tinypic.com/r/27xl4s8/5
08:39:45 <nighthawkcm> here we go, the stations in the lower right corner, and on the left you see the insertion into the LL5RR ML
08:40:57 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: you seem to have plenty of room, I'm not sure I see the issue
08:42:11 *** snack2 has joined #openttd
08:43:13 <nighthawkcm> I get too close to the first insertion into the ML - slowing down trains with 2 turns
08:43:46 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
08:44:25 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: ugh, that's nasty since small step changes will be enough to upset the max speed
08:45:22 <nighthawkcm> yepp
08:46:36 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: may then instead of a bunch of steps, you'll have to make do with 2, the one created by the lines blocked by the factory, and another for everything else; it should still be an imporvement

09:22:35 <nighthawkcm> :-/ SLH 1 reaches capacity limit .... now how to upgrade a SLH and a ML there ... dammit
09:23:47 <nighthawkcm> anyone got an image of a LLL5RRR to a SL LL_RR hub?
09:26:38 <NCommander> nighthawkcm: that seems to work well, I assume exit performance is better?
09:26:52 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
09:27:15 * NCommander is thinking that he needs to build very large transfer stations with smaller feeder stations connecting off that one
09:27:51 <nighthawkcm> yes, works better, but I start to have jams on the ML at SLH 1 - the inner L ML jams
09:28:59 * NCommander has no clue how to properly build that

09:55:26 <Terkhen> I'm already living a "great adventure" with C right now
09:55:48 <Terkhen> what do you plan, smoke for RVs and ships?
09:59:42 <fonsinchen> If I split an inlined method in declaration and definition, will the compiler still inline it?
10:00:16 <fonsinchen> I'm surprised this is actually valid C++ ... :)
10:00:42 <andythenorth> Terkhen: yes, smoke for RVs and ships. I started trying to figure out how to make HandleLocomotiveSmokeCloud generic, but it's way beyond me right now :o
10:04:10 <Terkhen> to be really generic it should be defined at the vehicle class and called at some of its methods (something similar to how realistic acceleration works at GroundVehicle)
10:04:30 <andythenorth> probably a project for another day :)
10:05:02 <Terkhen> but first you should think about the problem of how to decide which RVs and ships use smoke and which ones doesn't... taking into account the current behaviour for trains too

12:55:54 <Eddi|zuHause> only when one goes bankrupt, i believe

13:28:45 <Eddi|zuHause> that's why it isn't allowed in multiplayer
13:30:08 <jess-tundra-sundra> It would be nice to have to possibility to merge two companies if both parties accepted.

15:00:34 *** Grelouk has joined #openttd
15:02:17 <Yexo> if you copied trunk files over that might be the problem, it's a very old build and at that time a base sound set without files (nosound) wasn't supported

15:14:19 <frosch123> oh, because the small airport construction uses asbestos, which is no longer allowed

16:39:31 *** nighthawk_c_m has joined #openttd
16:40:11 <Opensourcler> SmatZ, I've a complex question about your project.
16:40:55 <PeterT> go ahead
16:41:12 <Opensourcler> IT's opensource and that means, that I can put it on my website for download (togehter with the sourcecode) with a hint to the gnu-license, right?
16:41:23 <PeterT> Ues
16:41:25 <PeterT> Yes
16:41:53 <SmatZ> Opensourcler: I am not a licence expert, but I think you can
16:41:55 <Opensourcler> OK, many thx.
16:41:59 <frosch123> best is to use the unmodified bundle, it has everything it needs
16:42:03 <SmatZ> yeah :)
16:42:05 <TrueBrain> depend how you define 'hint'
16:42:05 <Yexo> question is: why would you want to offer it on your website if you haven't made any modifications? if you link to openttd.org you can make suer your users alwyas have the latest version
16:42:25 <SmatZ> if you leave the package as it is, it contains readme and copying information
16:43:58 <Opensourcler> "Hint" means, that the text says, taht this project is under the gnu-licens. gnu-would be a link and if you click it, you would read the license information.
16:44:25 <Yexo> the licence is called gpl, not gnu
16:44:33 <Yexo> and you'd probably have to mention the version too (2)
16:45:09 <Opensourcler> Yexo, I want to put it on my website for the germans. Your site is only english and mybe this project will be more known.
16:45:27 <Ammler> Opensourcler: simply link to openttd.org, your visitors will be thankful to download recent versions.
16:45:35 <TrueBrain> then the least you can do is link to OpenTTD.org, not only the GPL
16:46:11 <SpComb> openttd.org doesn't have multiple language versions?
16:46:24 <Eddi|zuHause> ... or SOMEONE could finally implement the website translations :p
16:46:32 <SpComb> or it has the URLs for them, but no translated content
16:46:32 <TrueBrain> it does in its core, just never translated and added, as we could never figure out how to represent the languages
16:46:38 <TrueBrain> (someone was very much against flags ....)
16:46:46 <frosch123> http://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable <- Opensourcler: unless you want to translate the OS selection, best is to link to that pagew
16:46:53 <SpComb> Accept-Language: or whatever it was
16:47:25 <frosch123> or well, http://www.openttd.org/de/download-stable would also do
16:47:52 <Rubidium> just leave out the /de/ or /en/. That works equally well
16:47:53 <Yexo> in that case just link to
16:47:54 <Yexo> http://www.openttd.org/download-stable
16:48:13 <TrueBrain> when multi-language would be enabled, the last url auto redirects to the right language
16:48:17 <Opensourcler> thx all for your help.

16:53:00 <Plimmer> Hrmm.. I played with my 1.0 client in a game where it was enabled
16:53:17 <Plimmer> I guess that group of people havent released their internal version then
16:53:26 <Rubidium> then someone has a patch "updated" locally and not released that
16:53:46 <Plimmer> Yeah.. Well, thats too bad. Seemed like alot of fun.
16:54:36 <Plimmer> Is there some other patches that are worth mentioning?
16:54:45 <frosch123> some of the goalserver guys are a bit vain and hardly release what they modified, as they cannot stand others hosting a similiar server and "stealing" their players

19:46:38 <aber> what if you remove 2 targets?

19:49:23 *** oskari89 has quit IRC
19:52:54 <Devedse> k something seems to work now :)
19:53:50 <planetmaker> aber: a universal build has (for OpenTTD) those three targets...
19:53:56 <planetmaker> otherwise it'd not be universal.
19:54:24 <planetmaker> also each fails separately at the same place... so... it must be something --enable-universal does.
19:55:08 <aber> right, there is a file... it contains the targets. If you delete 2 if them, you have universal without-universal
19:55:45 <planetmaker> from what I see, I'd just see it then fail once (for the remaining target) instead of three times, once for each target.
19:56:50 <aber> what do you compile? head?
19:57:24 <planetmaker> yup
20:02:43 <planetmaker> hm, let's see what --without-libtimidity gives us. Btw: --with-libtimidity is not mentioned in configure help :-)
20:07:20 <aber> my svn client is broken, my compiler is broken and the libraries i need are not universal.

20:11:36 <planetmaker> ok, it's definitely libtimidity. --without-libtimidity gives the linker failure which I expected due to non-ppc libraries
20:11:51 <planetmaker> strange.

20:16:22 <amalloy> hi all, just started playing recently...is there a simple explanation for oil refineries in FIRS to accept oil but not send fuel or chemicals to the station?
20:16:44 *** Adambean has quit IRC
20:18:24 <Eddi|zuHause> did you send a vehicle to pick them up yet?
20:18:29 <planetmaker> refinery not properly covered? or ^
20:19:45 *** Fast2 has joined #openttd
20:19:51 <amalloy> yes, i've sent a vehicle
20:20:12 <amalloy> and the refinery seems to be covered - it accepts the oil, and produces fuel, but transports 0% of it
20:20:28 <Eddi|zuHause> is your vehicle refitted properly?
20:20:37 <amalloy> oh! that's probably it
20:20:42 <amalloy> thanks, i forgot to do that
20:21:14 * andythenorth thinks it would be useful to show current consist refit in more places (like the orders window)
20:21:16 *** frosch123 has quit IRC
20:21:21 <andythenorth> I have made the same mistake many many times
20:22:43 <Eddi|zuHause> gnah... this sound file is badly encoded...
20:25:34 *** |Terkhen| is now known as Terkhen
20:28:18 <Terkhen> andythenorth: I have been thinking about that too... the problem is that trains can have wagons refitted to different cargos
20:29:28 <Eddi|zuHause> and they can be refitted by orders
20:32:52 * planetmaker considers the latter an especially interesting feature :-)
20:33:15 * planetmaker would even like a feature to swap wagons by setting appropriate orders
20:33:59 <planetmaker> like "get or buy 5 coal wagons and de-couple the 5 goods wagons"
20:34:26 <planetmaker> it's the player's problem, if too many wagons then accumulate in a certain depot ;-)
20:47:15 <andythenorth> planetmaker: played railroad tycoon 2 or 3? 'wagons' don't really exist, you just get whatever consist you need at each station
20:47:43 <planetmaker> andythenorth: nope, I haven't
20:48:05 <andythenorth> the approach makes a lot of sense in that game
20:48:14 <andythenorth> but maybe not in OTTD
20:50:20 <Phazorx> RT2/3 approach is more realistic but totally different concept
20:50:27 <Phazorx> at same time it makes sense
20:50:54 <Phazorx> concepts of route is attached to engine, while cars are under cargo
20:51:18 <Phazorx> so engine gets attached to what needs to be moved at station rather than waiting for cargo to be loaded
20:51:26 <Phazorx> like it happens IRL
20:51:47 *** SekiSelu has quit IRC
20:52:26 *** SekiSelu has joined #openttd
20:52:31 <Phazorx> but RT is economic simulator while TTD is engineering modeling
20:53:09 <amalloy> i'm having different problems with my FIRS refinery now...when i drop off 270k liters of oil, it produces only 20k liters of chemicals and 29k liters of fuel oil. it should be much higher at 6t/8t, shouldn't it?
20:55:15 <amalloy> the result, of course, is that my chemical-carrying trains have a negative profit, and the plastics station turning chemical into goods produce like 5 crates of goods
20:55:32 *** TheMask96 has quit IRC
20:56:04 <planetmaker> amalloy: they only produce that efficiently, if they probably also get engineering supplies at the refinery
20:56:30 <planetmaker> also it means - IIRC - that 8t input will produce 6t for both combined
20:57:04 <amalloy> really? why isn't the engineering-supplies bit mentioned on the industry screen like it is for coal mines?
20:59:47 <Terkhen> IIRC refineries don't accept engineering supplies
20:59:51 <andythenorth> the refinery just turns oil into fuel oil & chemicals
21:00:13 <andythenorth> http://tt-foundry.com/sets/FIRS/schema/industries?economy=point_1_release#oil_refinery
21:00:56 <amalloy> right, that's what i thought. so i don't see why it's producing so little
21:01:29 <andythenorth> amalloy: I'm checking the code now...

21:05:11 <andythenorth> there are occasional errors in FIRS industry production due to doing maths in hex
21:05:27 <andythenorth> but the oil refinery does seem to be losing cargo somewhere
21:05:44 <amalloy> yeah, i just looked at the source myself - it looks like a pain to work with
21:06:31 <andythenorth> :)
21:06:52 <andythenorth> industry production code took about 6 months to write so far :)

21:10:27 <amalloy> i can believe it. at least i've found the refinery code now; i was trying to look at templates, cause i didn't think to look for code under sprites/
21:10:31 <andythenorth> amalloy: I won't be able to find the issue tonight. The 29k you got - is that at the station or in the industry window?
21:10:40 <amalloy> station
21:10:48 <andythenorth> what station rating do you have?
21:11:30 <amalloy> like...hrm, 30? i still don't really understand how to optimize for station rating
21:12:05 <amalloy> i'm not sure what the industry window says, because it usually goes back to 0 in a big hurry as the month ends

21:13:14 *** Eddi|zuHause has quit IRC
21:13:18 <andythenorth> amalloy: I think the numbers you're seeing are due to the low station rating + the occasional rounding error due to not having proper maths available
21:13:35 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
21:13:38 <andythenorth> SekiSelu: I could help you but not tonight - bed time. FIRS uses industry window string codes and the text stack extensively
21:14:00 <amalloy> okay. so i need...what, more trains at the station, to improve the rating, which will then increase output? i don't understand ratings yet
21:14:27 <SekiSelu> I've been reading through the FIRS code, and I now have a new text string for each industry, it just always reports 0t cargo
21:14:43 <SekiSelu> I'm not sure how to put t cargo delivered onto the stack so i can read it off
21:14:55 <andythenorth> store it into a register (100h-105h)
21:15:08 <Eddi|zuHause> amalloy: you should try to have always a train waiting
21:15:13 <andythenorth> SekiSelu: http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Callbacks#Show_additional_text_in_industry_window_3A_
21:15:31 <nighthawk_c_m> ammaloy: have a train waiting all the time - gives natuarally a rating of around 70%
21:16:12 <andythenorth> SekiSelu: look at the FIRS primary industry template
21:16:22 <SekiSelu> Durr. Must've missed that paragraph. Now I just need to figure out how to get that info into those registers ;)
21:16:27 <SekiSelu> Andy: Thanks, I'll do that
21:16:28 <andythenorth> template_primary_action23.pnfo
21:17:06 <amalloy> i see. i've been not bothering to increase #trains unless there's too much cargo there for my current trains to ship. but it sounds like adding more trains causes there to be more cargo?
21:17:09 *** ddfreyne has left #openttd
21:18:03 <SekiSelu> Amalloy: Any time where a train is not at the station will reduce your station rating, meaning less cargo will be delivered. I try to always have 1 train actively loading at each station
21:18:17 <planetmaker> amalloy: use "full load"
21:18:31 <SekiSelu> And yes, always use full load :)
21:18:39 <amalloy> okay. i'll fire up a new game and try that out
21:18:42 <amalloy> thanks all
21:19:42 <andythenorth> SekiSelu: to understand that template it will help you to know that callbacks run when cargo is delivered, and at the end of each month
21:19:59 <andythenorth> when the cargo is delivered, the amount is added to a value in persistent storage
21:20:09 <andythenorth> at the end of each month this value is zeroed
21:20:35 <andythenorth> you need pretty much the same thing, but copying the value to another persistent storage register before you zero it
21:21:00 <andythenorth> catch me another time if that makes no sense....I'm off :)
21:21:03 <andythenorth> good night
21:21:07 <SekiSelu> Thanks andy, and good night
21:21:12 <SekiSelu> Is it possible to emulate that without enabling the advanced production scheme...
21:21:16 <andythenorth> no
21:21:20 <andythenorth> well maybe.

22:14:46 <Mazur> I need help with redesigning a badly build station ( http://53551a99.cable.casema.nl/pics/BadBuilt_Station.png ), Anyone care to advise?
22:18:22 <Mazur> I think I should switch to presignals and prioritising, which I've been reading up on over the weekend, but I'm somewhat anxious.
22:19:04 <Eddi|zuHause> rule #1 when redesigning a live junction: make a savegame :p
22:19:44 <Mazur> That's where this is, right after the savegame.
22:19:53 <Yexo> swap the signals and switches on the southeast end of the station
22:20:44 <Yexo> easiest way to do that is where the current switches (2 tiles from the station) are, lower that tile and place signals on those tiles, then the switches on the next tile, then the tunnel where it already is
22:20:57 <Mazur> It's a hybrid station, a terminus and RoRo from the SE, and a RoRo from the W.
22:21:18 <Eddi|zuHause> you are definitely missing some signals directly south of the station
22:21:52 <Eddi|zuHause> and north of the station you don't have path signals, that is generally a bad idea
22:22:55 <Eddi|zuHause> and for every incoming track you should have 2-3 platforms, with 4 tracks means you should have 8-12 platforms
22:23:34 <Mazur> The path siganls north are in front of the road.
22:24:02 <Eddi|zuHause> i see the signals, but they are not path signals
22:24:10 <Eddi|zuHause> at least the last one
22:24:23 *** nighthawk_c_m has quit IRC
22:24:25 <Eddi|zuHause> and the other ones should be two way, while they look to be one way
22:25:27 *** Devedse has joined #openttd
22:25:29 <Mazur> You're right! They are combo signals, they were intended to be path signals.
22:28:15 <Mazur> I have a bouncy mouse (meaning it often activates twice on a single click. ) Which has millions of times made me end up where I don't want to be, "one click to far<".
