05:44:59 <Harlequin> Is anyone here comfortable with using Arch Linux? I've problem with OpenMSX...
05:46:25 <planetmaker> [07:44] <Turgid> [00:42:18] I probably can't help but someone may once they see your question!
05:46:26 <planetmaker> That always applies. Meta questions suck
05:46:42 <Harlequin> Well sounds works.. but music? nah
05:46:59 <Harlequin> brb in about hour and half :)

07:21:36 <Harlequin> Well I'd like to ask again because it's doing my head in... I've problems with OpenMSX running OTTD 1.0.0@Arch Linux. OpenSFX and OpenGFX works fine. When I open "Jazz jukebox" and press play, songs will start to "switch" like they were 0:00 long
07:24:58 <peter1138> does timidity run, outside of ottd?
07:29:38 <Harlequin> 2peter1138: seems not
07:30:29 <Mazur> _Are_ the song files 0:00 long?
07:31:07 <Harlequin> I've lacked timidity altogether
07:31:26 <planetmaker> they aren't 0:00 long for OpenMSX. And if they are, the md5sums would mismatch
07:31:56 <Mazur> And you can play them with Timidity, for instance, outside the game?
07:32:14 <Harlequin> hold on just installed it
07:32:19 <Mazur> Or another midi player?
07:32:41 <plantain> I have the same problem as Harlequin
07:32:51 <Harlequin> hold on gotta localize where Pacman downloaded it
07:33:04 <plantain> timidity++ 2.13.2-r12
07:33:32 <Mazur> pm: They might have not been installed properly, files allocated, but not filled?
07:33:59 <plantain> I certainly have the files there, I can go in and play them with timidity
07:34:09 <Harlequin> well where in the blue heck Pacman put those god**** OpenMSX files
07:34:24 *** JVassie_ has joined #openttd
07:34:27 <Mazur> And you access therm with the same userid as you play ottd?
07:34:30 <plantain> and openttd finds both the openmsx files and my original ttd files
07:34:30 <Yexo> /usr/share/games/openttd ?
07:34:55 <Mazur> /usr/share/games/openttd/gm/
07:35:14 <Harlequin> except for games folder

07:36:28 <Harlequin> no_music.obm orig_win.obm
07:37:12 <planetmaker> <Mazur> pm: They might have not been installed properly, files allocated, but not filled? <-- exactly then md5sums don't match
07:38:15 <Harlequin> i wonder now where the music is
07:38:48 <plantain> I have mine in /usr/share/games/openttd/gm/openmsx-0.2.1
07:38:51 <Mazur> Either /usr/share/openttd/gm or ~/.openttd/gm/
07:39:15 <Harlequin> Content downloader says it's downloaded
07:39:38 <plantain> if you download it with the content downloader it goes to ~/.openttd/
07:39:45 <planetmaker> it's in ~/.openttd/content_download/gm
07:40:00 <planetmaker> reading the readme is quite enlightening.
07:40:26 <Mazur> Reading instruction manuals is for girls.
07:41:14 <Mazur> find / -name gm_tt00.gm -print
07:41:45 <Yexo> openmfx is probably downloaded as a tar
07:42:51 <Mazur> Realised what the problem is?
07:43:10 <Harlequin> nah.. closed task manager
07:43:47 <Harlequin> aandddddd..... ain't working
07:48:56 <Harlequin> so timidity output ain't nice
07:49:33 <Harlequin> No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 1 - this instrument will not be heard
07:55:01 *** robotboy has joined #openttd
07:55:34 <Sacro> Harlequin: done the config for timidity?
07:56:01 <Harlequin> what is to be configured?
07:56:28 <Sacro> i install timidity-freepats from AUR and then copy the timidity-freepats.cfg to timidity.cfg
07:56:36 <Harlequin> I'm on arch wiki looking for some soundfonts and freepats
07:56:39 <Sacro> but then if you can run it direct...
07:57:33 <Sacro> oh, it's in community now, timidity-freepats
07:57:58 <Harlequin> I'm downloading them atm
07:58:56 *** Harlequin has joined #openttd
07:59:04 <Harlequin> sorry had problem with connection
08:02:18 <Harlequin> timidity plays everything just fine
08:03:25 <Harlequin> ok problem was in missing pats
08:09:54 <peter1138> timidity-missingpats
08:10:08 <peter1138> you'd've thought that someone else might've taken up the ball on that, since 2006...
08:11:16 <Harlequin> you know.. it's because humans are quite lazy lot
08:16:17 <peter1138> it's the fabled "somebody else" :)
08:17:06 <Harlequin> to hell with "somebody else" people need stop bein lazy and try themselves
08:20:05 <Harlequin> We're now entering hell, please keep your hands and elbows inside the train
08:20:17 <Rubidium> sorry, but it's a boat
08:20:41 <Harlequin> depends on hell you enter
08:22:14 <Harlequin> remembers me of one joke

09:58:25 <amalloy1> is it all right if i ask.....why my steel mill, playing PBI, should have a stockpile of 600 each coal/iron, and only produce 96 steel/month? i'm not transporting any of it yet, but the stockpile is getting too full to deliver

11:06:39 <planetmaker> Hello DanMacK :-)
11:15:36 <planetmaker> I haven't quite checked how the mail one looks like (will do that tonight), but I *think* that is fine, too.
11:17:37 <amalloy1> anyone know where i can find the max production values for secondary/tertiary industries in pbi? my steel mill and factory seem to stockpile loads of materials but produce hardly any outputs
11:18:26 <Eddi|zuHause> amalloy1: have you tried actually carrying the secondary cargo away?
11:18:41 <amalloy1> for the steel mill, yes. haven't got round to the factory yet
11:19:05 <Pikka> amalloy1: from me. and yes, the production level won't go above low if there was no cargo transported away the previous month.
11:19:25 <amalloy1> ahhh, interesting. thanks!
11:19:48 <amalloy1> and now that i look back, i see that after a few months/years went by the steel mill started producing more
11:20:26 <Pikka> not much point them working hard to produce stuff no-one wants, after all ;)
11:21:22 <Eddi|zuHause> Pikka: why does brick chain not work in arctic?
11:21:25 <amalloy1> yes, i thought about that, but since they were producing *something* i assumed that mechanic wasn't implemented. it never occurred to me that they'd produce some but not lots
11:21:44 <Pikka> because the grf tells it not to, eddi.
11:22:08 <Pikka> amalloy: if they produced nothing, they wouldn't know when someone tried to transport stuff
11:22:49 <Pikka> same reason the variable output on the sawmill, say, never produces 100% of one cargo and 0 of the other.
11:23:05 <Eddi|zuHause> Pikka: i was trying to play PBI with hacked Alpine, but without brick chain it's only half the fun...
11:23:12 <amalloy1> bah. *handwaves away necessary but undesirable implementation details*

11:26:53 <Eddi|zuHause> Pikka: i was mainly asking whether there was a particular technical reason to not allow it, other than not-drawn snowy versions
11:28:20 <Pikka> remove sprite #1 and it should work just fine :P
11:28:53 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, i can find the check, but i wouldn't know if it caused any harm to gameplay

11:41:39 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, non. It's just not up to date. As far as I understood
11:41:54 <planetmaker> Blame me, if you like that I didn't find time in December / January to update it.

14:17:26 *** Doorslammer has joined #openttd
14:18:56 <arneke> Hi, just in relation to a general discussion about open source projects, is there any funding / commercial interest behind OpenTTD ?
14:19:41 <arneke> (sorry, must have entered the nick in the wrong field)
14:20:00 <arneke> Yexo: and it has been going since 2005 ?
14:20:06 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
14:20:18 <Yexo> even earlier I think, not sure when it started exactly
14:20:41 <arneke> ah right, there's a reference to 2002 and the Euro on the About page
14:20:52 <arneke> thanks,,, that's enough ammo to refute the working hypothesis
14:21:34 <Yexo> the 2002 euro introduction on the about page on the wiki is about the in-game year 2002
14:21:49 <Yexo> and if I may ask, which working hypothesis?
14:22:43 <arneke> I should have explained more: The statement was that all successful open source projects do have funding or commercial interest behind them, that "love" is not enough
14:23:45 <peter1138> that statement is blatantly false
14:24:20 <arneke> peter1138: it's paraphrased, there were a few things about size and time running
14:24:31 <arneke> peter1138: other examples
14:25:21 <Yexo> I think it's probably the other way around: most (not all) successfull large open source projects will be commercially interesting and thus get funding one way or another
14:26:46 <Belugas> at the root, open projects are done out of the free work of passion
14:26:55 <arneke> agreed, and I can attest to a feeling of bad taste when you know someone else is going to charge money for the bug you are fixing for them
14:27:22 <ccfreak2k> Some of us don't care about that.
14:27:30 <arneke> Belugas: that I dont agree with,,, my little toy (geowebcache.org) was an assignment initially
14:27:33 <ccfreak2k> That's what the BSD three-clause license is for.
14:28:01 <Yexo> arneke: yes, "initially", and now?
14:28:29 <arneke> Yexo: now it's hard to let go ;)
14:28:48 <arneke> ccfreak2k: more cred to you ;)
14:28:52 <arneke> anyway,,, more concrete examples
14:28:58 <arneke> like OpenTTD would be great
14:29:16 <arneke> but it's just for a mailinglist discussion anyway
14:29:28 <peter1138> why should we be doing your research? :p
14:29:55 <arneke> peter1138: why should you be writing the game I play ;)
14:30:36 <arneke> I didnt really come here to ask you to do research, I just wanted to confirm that it's not a testing ground for the game engine for another game, or anything like that
14:31:18 <arneke> and I appreciate the feedback I've already gotten, so thanks :)
14:34:37 *** TrueBrain has joined #openttd
14:36:54 <Belugas> my very first interest of the game was about : "here's a game where source code is available. How does it look like?". Then is was... "how can I add more value to it, as a thank you gesture for all the good moments i had" and then... "how the hell can I add the newhouses stuff" (which i started but got stopped and finally maedhros did it)... blablabla
14:37:39 <Belugas> i see no commercial reason behinds that. nor forced assigment. as peter1138 said "because i enjoy it"
14:37:55 <Belugas> -y+ied in my case... for some reasons
14:41:21 <peter1138> hey Pikka, i have a patch (and newgrf) to disable railtypes ;)
14:44:28 <Eddi|zuHause> hooo... he-who-has-a-patch has a patch, very surprising! :p
14:44:39 <peter1138> also the skin at the end of my thumb and index finger is peeling off :s
14:45:48 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
14:46:36 <Belugas> slap bass player injury!
14:46:58 <Belugas> or... sun-burn on fingers :S
14:47:29 <Mazur> Or ... blinding friction burns?
14:48:13 <Mazur> They alledge it's a common malady among geeks. ;-)
14:48:49 <peter1138> heat related i think
14:49:02 <peter1138> i was sanding something down and the paper got quite hot
14:55:53 *** Devedse has joined #openttd
14:56:26 <Cadde> My belief is that people do this for the love of the original game. It's like "Hmm, what if i could just do this little thing in TTD" and then something small starts and gets released to the public. Then another guy adds something else and in the spirit of sharing it gets shared. So in a sense, people do things in ottd because they want stuff and once done they enjoy sharing it with others in case they would enjoy it too.
14:57:07 <Cadde> However there are those who take pleasure in helping others get something they want too
14:57:15 <Cadde> So don't get me wrong on that point.
14:58:44 <Eddi|zuHause> but do not forget that the commercial success of TT(D) is what fueled the project in the first place
14:58:53 <Cadde> For example, if someone where to ask me personally if i could compile patches XYZ into a pack i would do so without hesitation since i know how cumbersome it is to set up SVN, Environment, Working out the kinks and so on. If they enjoy it i feel good as i have given something back to all that have given to me and i have made someone happy which is by far good enough for me.
14:59:14 <Eddi|zuHause> because of that success, there was a critical mass of people
14:59:38 <Cadde> Eddi|zuHause: Yeah, like i said. For the love of the original game.
15:00:26 <Cadde> I keep telling developers that among the most important features of new games today is the ability to customize it or remodel it to something else.
15:00:36 <Cadde> That means SDK's and tools.
15:00:54 <Eddi|zuHause> Civ IV is a great example of that ;)
15:02:14 * andythenorth has an SDK: svn, textwrangler, GCC and make
15:02:52 <Cadde> just look at Counter Strike. It really is crap but people are still playing it because there where tools made available to the community and the community knows what the community wants. No developer can ever match the sheer volume of input that a community can deliver because developers have deadlines. aftermarket projects tend to follow the "It's done when it's done" mentality and they tend to make stuff work well.
15:04:46 <arneke> Cadde: sure, but for a commercial game studio that's not really interesting. They want you to play for two months and then buy the sequel. And with the focus on online games I suspect they will succeed, cause there's nobody to play against if you break out a 2 year old game
15:04:51 <Rubidium> and for OpenTTD not promising features helps too :)
15:05:00 <arneke> WoW could be really a lot more interesting though ;)
15:05:24 <Rubidium> heh, we want people to play our sequels too
15:06:10 <Cadde> I play EvE online and the reason i am still playing is because i feel that the developers are keeping a close eye on what the community wants as a whole. They release a new expansion every 5 - 6 months free of charge.
15:06:14 <arneke> yeah, I am not really trying to argue against that, just that I am not sure counter strike was a huge success, if measure by commercial goals
15:06:44 <Noldo> Cadde: well, free of extra charge
15:06:56 <arneke> Cadde: That follows the WoW model, where I do think SDKs can make sense
15:07:00 <Cadde> arneke: CS wasn't commercial in the beginning and it isn't really commercial today either. It just sells as a separate source engine package thats all.
15:07:40 <arneke> Cadde: fair enough, but it was value added for Half Life 2, and important for the long tail of that game
15:07:45 <Cadde> Noldo: Yeah, ofc you pay for server access and to me, it's a pretty fair price to play with 50,000 other players on ONE cluster.
15:08:14 <arneke> I still think a commercial metric applies, but it's not that important
15:10:26 <Eddi|zuHause> arneke: there are more commercial metrics than "short term income", but people tend to forget that

16:20:02 <Mazur> Hm, looks like SSL didn't work for me.
16:20:19 <Mazur> Or am I looking skewed?
16:20:44 <sulai> oh thanks for the binaries :)
16:20:46 <sulai> would be nice if there was a link like "download old binaries" on the ottd website :)
16:22:01 <xahodo> Is sourceforge still being used for anything openttd at all?
16:22:33 <xahodo> I thought the project page on SF was abandoned ages ago.
16:24:19 <xahodo> Why hasn't it been taken down yet?
16:25:06 <OwenS> xahodo: Ever tried to close a source forge project?
16:26:36 <Eddi|zuHause> Mazur: doesn't look like you're using SSL...
16:27:46 <Mazur> Eddi|zuHause: Thanks, so now all I have to figure out is, what filed.
16:34:27 * OwenS wonders why ChillCore has gone through his patch changing all instances of if (x)\n y(); to if (x) {\n y(); \n}
16:35:02 <Eddi|zuHause> because he misread the code style?
16:35:32 <Eddi|zuHause> code style allows "if (x) y();" but not "if (x)\n y();"
16:36:08 <OwenS> OK, then I'll change to that, since all those braces are just ugly
16:36:21 <OwenS> (I don't understand why one would chose to do so though..)
16:36:51 <Eddi|zuHause> if you have an else, you must use {}
16:37:01 <OwenS> That fits my coding style too

16:38:45 <OwenS> I've been programming for years and never made that error...
16:38:47 <Eddi|zuHause> dangling elses may be a mess
16:39:25 <OwenS> Of course. I always use braces when dealing with elses (Except for in cases like "} else return false;")

16:54:29 <Eddi|zuHause> ... just wanted to mention ;)
17:03:03 <Mazur> Hm, seems like xchat only talks SSL3, and the server SSL2.
17:04:42 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe you need a network support channel instead...
17:05:06 <Eddi|zuHause> typically those are called #help or #<your-current-network>
17:05:57 <Mazur> If I wanted to pursue this, yeah. I was merely musing, regarding my previous remarks.

17:06:48 <Yexo> * OwenS wonders why ChillCore has gone through his patch changing all instances of if (x)\n y(); to if (x) {\n y(); \n} <- I'm more wondering why he changes things like initial loan for easy difficulty setting
17:07:53 <Yexo> or why he removes empty lines in random places and adds them in other places
17:08:29 <nighthawk_c_m> Probably copyright reasons - change something and it isn't what it formerly was :-P
17:08:32 <Yexo> or why he comments out some asserts instead of fixing them (if they need changing)
17:08:52 <nighthawk_c_m> Maybe he didn't have timne yet and marked those for himself to remember?
17:09:35 <Yexo> + /* commented out to allow smaller maps than 256 * 256, while TGP_FREQUENCY_MAX is set to 8 or higher.
17:09:39 <Yexo> + * Read IMPORTANT NOTICE above near TGP_FREQUENCY_MAX declaration (this file: line 200 something) */
17:09:50 <Yexo> that reads like he thinks it's "fixed" this way
17:10:50 <Yexo> or why he's reinventing Clamp/Max/Min

17:45:17 <CIA-6> OpenTTD: irish - 26 changes by Nalum
17:46:11 <Arthur_> how can i contact a Dev-Team-Member?
17:46:26 <Eddi|zuHause> by writing your question here.
17:46:58 <Yexo> Arthur_: ok, you've now had contact. Was that all?
17:47:58 <Arthur_> i am programming, and i use a iso-tile, i want to know what is the fastet way to sort the deph in iso from mobil units
17:48:35 <Yexo> I really don't have a clue about that
17:49:09 <Arthur_> to sort the howl unit list is to slow
17:49:24 <CIA-6> OpenTTD: smatz * r19683 /trunk/src/road_type.h: -Fix (r19654): towns with 3x3 and 2x2 road layouts couldn't expand
17:50:09 <Yexo> I think openttd uses a hashtable from tile to vehicle, so it only checks vehicles that are on visible tiles
17:50:27 <frosch123> ottd hashes the screen position of vehicles for that
17:51:10 <frosch123> sorting of the vehicles left after clamping to viewport is slow though
17:54:40 <Eddi|zuHause> so that's what's slow when zooming out very far?
17:55:02 <Arthur_> i dont have any experience with iso programming :)
17:56:21 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: and that you draw a hillarious number of sprites which mostly only cover some pixels
18:02:22 <CIA-6> OpenTTD: yexo * r19684 /trunk/src/misc_cmd.cpp: -Fix [FS#3779]: don't show an error message when trying to give another client an amount of 0 money
18:05:49 <Arthur_> i have a qestion, when i take Sharesvrom other company it kost? becouse i have buyed in a past game the whole enemys and it doesnt cost?
18:06:07 <Arthur_> Sharesvrom = Shares from
18:08:04 <Arthur_> mhh ok i ask my why it doesnt cost in my past game :( i must look again, thanks
18:09:06 <Rubidium> because you bought an utterly bankrupt company and unbeknownst to you you took over their loan
18:10:19 <Arthur_> oh^^ aso ok, mhh yes the SimpleAI is realy bad ^^
18:16:59 <Eddi|zuHause> SimpleAI was supposed to mimic the original AI
18:18:05 <Arthur_> yes but if i have 3 enemys, 2 of them goes to bankrupt
18:18:33 <Arthur_> and i desn't change the ai options
18:18:44 <frosch123> SimpleAI was supposed to mimic the original AI
18:20:30 <Arthur_> yes read it allready^^ i only say it, ... its the mest tycoon simulator i ever seen, Open TTD.
18:21:58 <Arthur_> I should not complain, you are rigt
18:23:59 <Eddi|zuHause> well, what frosch123 meant was: the original AI did go bankrupt two out of three times, so SimpleAI perfectly met its design goal :p
18:24:52 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
18:25:55 <Arthur_> mhh its long time ago i played the original^^
18:28:33 <Arthur_> Does "Chris Sawyer" still programming?
18:30:48 <KenjiE20> who knows... we can live in hope though :)
18:31:01 <Arthur_> ^^ yes he sould make a new TT ^^
18:32:08 <nighthawk_c_m> Nah, I prefer the 2d version - its the best because the focus is on gameplay and not graphcs
18:32:41 <nighthawk_c_m> same with openttd - even so 32 bit graphics look very nice
18:33:08 <Arthur_> mmm yes but good gameplay with good graphic is better ^^ Open TTD should be go to 3D :)
18:33:09 <Rubidium> 3D, as in 2D and written in D?
18:33:10 <Eddi|zuHause> there's a filigrane balance between graphics and gameplay, unfortunately most current games overshoot the graphics part
18:40:09 <Arthur_> i like it, but its still not finished :(
18:40:13 <nighthawk_c_m> well, i suppose the problem is that everything made so far is 8bpp - and now things would need to be redone in 32bpp - quite a bit of work, especially concerning the newgrf's
18:41:08 <Eddi|zuHause> my personal opinion is that 32bpp is a dead end, it wants to achieve something it isn't designed for
18:41:22 <Eddi|zuHause> and it's very uncoordinated
18:42:08 <Arthur_> yes its true that its uncoordinared

18:44:51 *** ajmiles has joined #openttd
18:45:50 <SmatZ> Terkhen: it looks nice, except the word "cargo" is misused in this case :-/
18:46:24 <KenjiE20> ^ perhaps "Select refit type:"
18:46:36 <Terkhen> indeed, but usually it shows cargos
18:46:38 <nighthawk_c_m> Yepp, misleading - looks very good so - and in the lower one it would mean something different then gear ratio I think SmatZ
18:46:55 <Terkhen> it could change the title if it has only cargos of the special type
18:50:44 <nighthawk_c_m> the selct cargo subtype would need a different name - maybe something like "Select vehicle length" or "Select maximum capacity"
18:51:11 <nighthawk_c_m> And the top one as said something involving the gear Ratio thingy
18:51:36 <Yexo> nighthawk_c_m: that's not possible, it needs to be a single string
18:51:46 <Yexo> the grf defines how it uses the cargo subtype
18:52:06 <Yexo> nars uses it fore gear ratiosn, other grfs for cap/length tradeoff
18:52:18 <Yexo> other grfs could use it just to select a differnt livery
19:00:13 <frosch123> Terkhen: something about "Refit options" on the left, and "Variants" on the right?
19:01:12 <Pikka> why does this dialog need redoing anyway?
19:01:32 <frosch123> because there are way too much options for some sets
19:01:47 <Pikka> it's pretty straightforward at the moment. it's also nice to be able to see all the variants at once
19:02:05 <Pikka> you lose the ability to see which variants are available for which cargos by splitting it
19:02:09 <frosch123> take fish with three capacitites for 25 different cargos or so
19:02:46 <frosch123> oh, you mean adding a "(variants)" in the left column?
19:03:32 <Pikka> with Terkhen's example, you can only see the variants available for a cargo by selecting it first
19:05:19 *** theholyduck has joined #openttd
19:05:26 <Pikka> it's not a major issue, I just don't see how it's an improvement :)
19:09:11 <Pikka> :P I was about to give you a similar example
19:10:06 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
19:10:11 <Pikka> I don't see how it's any harder to scroll down that list, find the cargo you want then select a subclass
19:10:25 <Pikka> than to click the cargo you want in a list of just the cargos, then select a subclass :P
19:11:30 <andythenorth> I think the missing link is 'type to filter' - as used to awesome effect in the newgrf window...
19:13:17 <andythenorth> also...we're sticking lipstick on a pig
19:13:36 <andythenorth> my abuse of cargo subtype refits to vary capacity being the pig in this case
19:14:19 <Pikka> I'm doing that in av8 now, if that's any consolation. :P
19:14:34 <andythenorth> so the window now contains....
19:14:51 <andythenorth> cargo + (livery + number vehicles + cargo subtype)
19:15:04 <andythenorth> wonder what the originator of cargo subtype thinks of this :P
19:15:06 <frosch123> hmm, av8 1.6 is broken in nightly
19:15:34 <frosch123> it gets disabled due to usage of invalid id :s
19:16:51 <Pikka> "make sure newgrfs can't overwrite sound effect properties from other newgrfs
19:17:45 <frosch123> are you doing that?
19:18:15 <Pikka> I'm trying the nightly now
19:19:21 <Pikka> more information would be nice D:
19:19:42 <andythenorth> newgrf debug tools?
19:20:47 <Yexo> Pikka: sprite 95 is trying to modify sound effect 157
19:21:11 <Yexo> while there are only 84 sound effects in your grf (157 -73 (original count) = 84)
19:21:28 <Pikka> 94 * 7 00 0C 01 01 51 08 60
19:21:29 <Pikka> 95 * 7 00 0C 01 01 52 08 60
19:21:29 <Pikka> 96 * 7 00 0C 01 01 53 08 60
19:21:54 <Pikka> looks awfully like 0x52 to me
19:22:07 <Pikka> therefore, I blame OTTD :D
19:22:41 <Eddi|zuHause> it gets awfully full at times...
19:22:50 <Eddi|zuHause> (the refit window)
19:23:00 <Eddi|zuHause> i think splitting is good
19:23:01 <Yexo> Pikka: you're probably right, testing now
19:23:10 <Eddi|zuHause> same way you split station types into categories
19:24:50 <frosch123> + if (sid + numinfo - ORIGINAL_SAMPLE_COUNT >= _cur_grffile->num_sounds) { <- obiwan, right?
19:25:28 <frosch123> sid ORIGINAL_SAMPLECOUNT and numinfo = num_sounds = 0 should be fine
19:25:44 <CIA-6> OpenTTD: yexo * r19685 /trunk/src/newgrf.cpp: -Fix (r19679): off-by-one error
19:26:11 <Yexo> numinfo == 0 should never happen i think
19:26:25 <Yexo> but sid = ORIGINAL_SMAPLECOUNT-1 and numinfo=1 is fine
19:26:30 <frosch123> second obian today :) always two they are :p
19:26:45 <Yexo> there is actually a third one in the grfmsg the line under that
19:26:51 <Yexo> didn't fix that yet, as it's the same for other types
19:27:06 <Yexo> attemtying to change %u, whre %u = sid+numinfo
19:27:18 <Yexo> but it doesn't change sid+numinfo, the highest id it changes is sid+numinfo-1
19:28:36 <frosch123> well, most important, i can continue my game now. thanks :)
19:29:00 <Terkhen> sorry, I lost my connection :/
19:31:32 <Terkhen> well, my problem with the refit window is that the list is sometimes so long that it takes too long to find what I want
19:32:12 <Terkhen> I'm open to possible solutions... I guess that filtering would also solve it
19:32:29 *** [com]buster has joined #openttd
19:34:14 <andythenorth> filtering improves lists where the user knows what they are looking for....and can spell :P
19:34:24 <andythenorth> long lists always have usability fail
19:34:43 <Yexo> I thought it was filtering as in a dropdown with all cargos
19:34:55 <andythenorth> I mean as in the newgrf window
19:35:20 * frosch123 wants to refit vehicles with three clicks, not by clicking a textbox or typing etc...
19:35:47 <Eddi|zuHause> it were even more genious if the filter string would get kept between two openings, or the window would get kept open after adding a grf
19:36:10 <frosch123> Terkhen: but i guess adding some hint behind the items on the left if there would be something on the right might be beneficial. similiar to "(refittable)" in the engine lists
19:36:16 <frosch123> just not "(refittable)" :p
19:36:38 * andythenorth wants fewer clicks and more typing :)
19:36:52 * andythenorth may not be a typical mac user
19:37:05 <andythenorth> full keyboard control anyone?
19:37:34 <Yexo> there was a patch someday wehre you could issue a lot of command via the console
19:37:58 <Terkhen> frosch123: that would still fail to provide information about what the subtypes do
19:38:22 *** [com]buster is now known as Combuster
19:38:23 <Terkhen> I prefer clicks myself too
19:38:45 <Terkhen> but anything without scrolling a kilometric list would do
19:39:08 <frosch123> Terkhen: i mean vehicles which offer subcargos only for some cargos
19:39:12 <andythenorth> Terkhen: I could just add more vehicles in the buy menu and consequently fewer refits :P
19:39:38 <Terkhen> andythenorth: that scroll is also long enough already :)
19:40:02 <andythenorth> we could just solve it TTD Patch style?
19:40:15 <Terkhen> frosch123: that sounds good
19:40:29 <andythenorth> fewer vehicle IDs
19:40:33 <andythenorth> so buy menu is shorter :P
19:41:12 <Yexo> I thought it was about the refit list now
19:41:18 <andythenorth> then we can make each refit an actual vehicle....hmmm there might be a problem there actually
19:41:37 <andythenorth> I know: deprecate cargo subtype refit!
19:42:17 <Yexo> can one vehicle have differnt cargo subtype refits per cargo?
19:42:36 * Terkhen forgets to list andythenorth's cargo subtypes
19:42:50 <frosch123> andythenorth: more vehicles is easier for ais though
19:43:03 <andythenorth> Yexo: it's a cb, so us twisty grf authors could invent all kinds of madness there
19:43:06 <Pikka> differnt cargo subtype refits per cargo <- you mean different subtypes for different cargos?
19:43:23 <frosch123> andythenorth: you are too late, there is already the planeset
19:43:46 <Yexo> I know the solution: disable newgrf support
19:43:51 <andythenorth> Yexo: I like that
19:43:52 <Yexo> no long vehicle lists or refit lists anymore
19:43:57 <andythenorth> it will save a lot of time and bug reports
19:44:11 <frosch123> and andy would have enough time to become mac maintainer
19:44:49 <andythenorth> or add smoke to ships

19:47:54 *** ajmiles has joined #openttd
19:48:39 <Terkhen> I'm not sure it is the best option, though
19:52:40 <andythenorth> what are your doubts?
19:55:02 <Terkhen> vehicles with different subtypes for each type of cargo
19:55:23 <Terkhen> I'm not sure if adding (4 subtypes) or something like that is enough
19:57:11 <Terkhen> I can't think of any existing grf set that would have problems with that, though
19:57:13 <frosch123> what are you now planning?
19:57:46 <Terkhen> nothing, just wondering :P
20:03:25 <andythenorth> Terkhen: your option makes the list cognitively easier to use, but more clicks....
20:03:30 <andythenorth> which is the bigger evil?
20:07:01 <Terkhen> I don't mind the additional click (much better than scrolling)... I have the impression that it will fail to show some required information, but I can't think of anything specific
20:07:05 <Terkhen> perhaps I'm thinking too much :P
20:07:30 <andythenorth> you can never think too much about GUI stuff
20:09:02 <andythenorth> I like the 'filter on string' option because for people like Pikka, it's not a noticeable change. For people like me, it's 'type and 1 click'.
20:09:19 <andythenorth> It would also expose all the refit options for a cargo in a minimum of screen space
20:09:33 <andythenorth> and all refits could be browsed by scrolling an unfiltered list
20:15:03 <Terkhen> filtering is okay when there's no good way of displaying the info, but in this case the data is clearly organized (a list of cargos, each one with a list of subtypes)
20:20:35 <andythenorth> the issue is narrowing the users choice ASAP
20:20:51 <andythenorth> i.e. providing focus on only what the player needs

20:30:03 <Terkhen> that makes sense a lot of sense, but I'm still not sure that typing is the easiest way of finding what you want
20:31:23 <andythenorth> google disagrees :P
20:32:21 <Terkhen> as I said, filtering is fine when there's no good way of organizing the info
20:32:41 <SmatZ> when you want to refit like 20 trains
20:32:51 <SmatZ> and typing the filter string 20 times...
20:33:29 <andythenorth> typing is faster for many people than clicking....fingers are faster than the brain/fingers target acquisition time
20:34:00 <andythenorth> if that makes any sense :P
20:34:30 <andythenorth> typing is easy, clicking accurately on things in long lists is not, might be a better way of putting it
20:34:30 <frosch123> but only if you already have the hands at the keyboard
20:35:01 <andythenorth> if we do hierarchical menus, we start hiding information
20:35:08 <andythenorth> dunno if that information is useful though
20:36:30 <Terkhen> well... the information is less clear only in the "cargos with different subtypes" case
20:36:44 <Terkhen> if you have a single cargo type or cargos without subtypes, it will use the original behaviour
20:37:17 <Terkhen> if you have a lot of cargo types but they all use similar subtypes, you can guess what they are using
20:38:15 <andythenorth> ...especially if the grf author helpfully provides that info in the buy menu text...
20:38:34 <frosch123> andythenorth: that fails for trains with different wagons
20:44:39 * andythenorth does some stuff with hovercraft
20:45:31 <Terkhen> hmm... no nice solution :/

20:55:36 <Terkhen> to force it to change its size when you resize the MainWindow
20:55:54 <OwenS> Terkhen: Put it in an appropriate container, set its size policy to "Expanding" or "Maximum"
20:56:08 <OwenS> (Suggestion: Use the UI designer)
20:56:54 *** KloBass has joined #openttd
20:57:28 <Terkhen> already tried that, I'm probably messing up something that stops it from working
20:59:15 <OwenS> Qt is remarkably flexible when you get to know it. My app has a custom titlebar widget (Its themed, so I wanted it to match, and it also allowed me to pack the menu bar into it and conserve window space)
20:59:42 <OwenS> (And said custom titlebar is pure Qt)

21:21:36 <SmatZ> why does it have such silly way of making symbols extern
21:21:51 * OwenS wonders what that method os
21:21:54 <SmatZ> "extern XXX; global XXX; XXX:" ... barf :-x
21:22:24 <SmatZ> so all files can't share one "header with all externs"
21:22:25 <OwenS> I would expect global to override extern :s
21:22:32 <SmatZ> yeah, but it doesn't like it :(
21:22:54 <OwenS> (And thats GAS AT&T syntax ^^)
21:23:45 <OwenS> Intel syntax is why people ask why "lea eax. [ebx + ecx * edx ^^ esi]" doesn't work
21:24:21 <OwenS> At least with Gas its the explicit-whats-allowed offset(base, index, multiplier)
21:24:36 <SmatZ> also, loading constants with gas syntax
21:24:44 <SmatZ> is very similiar to loading from address
21:25:01 <SmatZ> actually, it should be movl...
21:25:05 <OwenS> (TrueBrain would probably call them offset(base, index, scale)
21:25:27 <SmatZ> yeah, I never used AT&T :)
21:25:43 <OwenS> lea 8(%eax, %esi, 4), %edx ftw
21:26:11 <Pikka> damn you zernebok...! *shakes fist*
21:26:31 <TrueBrain> OwenS: I call nothing
21:26:58 <OwenS> TrueBrain: I thought the modifier which controlled that addressing mode was the "SIB byte"? :p
21:27:28 <SmatZ> offset(base, index, multiplier) <== doesn't prevent you wondering from 0(eax, ebx, 3) doesn't work
21:27:59 <TrueBrain> OwenS: I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, but I just disliked the fact you highlighted me
21:28:18 <OwenS> TrueBrain: Heh. I thought you would have since you wrote OpenDune's libemu
21:28:32 <OwenS> SmatZ: true, but using shifts would just be overly confusing
21:28:52 <TrueBrain> still no clue what you are talking about :p
21:29:25 <OwenS> TrueBrain: x86 addressing
21:41:36 <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds like "you painted your car green, can you help me choosing oil colours for my painting?"
21:43:51 *** Nite_Owl has joined #openttd
21:46:15 <OwenS> Hmm... Speaking of OpenDune, GNU FDL for the wiki? :S
21:46:34 <OwenS> Same for the OpenTTD wki :(
21:48:02 <Rubidium> they wiki is as out-of-date as ours already :)
21:48:20 <OwenS> And both are now stuck on licenses incompatible with most wikis
21:49:13 <OwenS> Wikimedia, for example, relicensed under it in August last year
21:49:26 * andythenorth is troubled by refit costs
21:49:53 <Rubidium> before they were GNU FDL IIRC
21:49:59 <andythenorth> and, in fact, by refitting full stop
21:50:02 <OwenS> Rubidium: yes, but they relicensed
21:50:12 <Rubidium> they haven't asked me!
21:50:35 <OwenS> Rubidium: you contributed under the GFDL 1.2 or any later version. The GFDL 1.3 contains a specific relicensing clause to permit them to do so
21:50:40 <OwenS> That clause has now expired
21:53:15 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
21:53:58 <Pikka> andythenorth: needs more refit cost callback :)
21:54:14 <andythenorth> ships and planes share a similar problem
21:54:20 <andythenorth> refitting to most freight should be £0
21:54:39 <andythenorth> refitting from PAX to freight or vice versa should be £expensive
21:54:49 <andythenorth> refit to something like oil tanker should be £expensive
21:54:54 <andythenorth> but it's only a game
21:55:00 <Pikka> callback, cargo to and from, refit cycle, bosh, done. :P
21:55:44 *** woldemar_ has joined #openttd
21:57:52 * andythenorth invents a 'magic refit'.....the ship / plane just refits automatically to the cargo which both is available in largest quantity *and* is accepted at next destination
21:58:03 <andythenorth> needs a patch :P
21:58:23 <andythenorth> also...this hovercraft is fricking enormous :o
22:00:11 * andythenorth needs more of the blue pixles
22:01:54 * Pikka wonders if industry airports are allowed to have hangars
22:04:34 <Nite_Owl> Oooo - a 'Lost In Space' reference
22:05:41 <Eddi|zuHause> Pikka: for servicing? or for buying vehicles?
22:06:13 *** Devedse has joined #openttd
22:06:13 <Nite_Owl> It was only when I got older and watched 'Lost In Space' in reruns that I realized what a raging queen Dr. Smith was
22:06:46 <Pikka> either, Eddi, although I imagine just servicing is more likely.
22:23:43 *** mrruben5 has joined #openttd
22:24:21 <Devedse> how do you activate certain graphiks (like the train used for logic gates that goes 3000 m/s) in your game?
22:28:37 <mrruben5> Are there any bugs known that cause the missing content finder to malfunction under osx?
22:29:28 <Pikka> the newgrf settings button, Devedse, and yes, mrruben5.
22:33:28 *** |NoobCp| has joined #openttd
22:38:02 <Eddi|zuHause> mrruben5: yes, broken zlib
22:38:27 *** Dreamxtreme has joined #openttd
22:38:28 <Eddi|zuHause> 1.2.4 = bad, 1.2.3.4 = good
22:39:08 <Rubidium> if only OSX would use the newest version of zlib
22:43:53 <SmatZ> Rubidium: like, 1.2.4.4?
22:43:56 <Eddi|zuHause> a bad version, once released, isn't suddenly going away
22:44:27 <SmatZ> Rubidium: right, it's out already :)
22:52:14 <planetmaker> Rubidium: what's the newest zlib? 1.2.4 afaik?
22:52:33 <planetmaker> or did it change in the last 14(?) days?
22:55:33 <SmatZ> yeah, 1.2.5 is yesterday's :)
22:55:44 <glx> I was still using 1.2.3 :)
22:56:43 <planetmaker> glx: that was till November last year also current
22:56:53 <mrruben5> Soooo, compiled zlib 1.2.5 with ./configure && make install
22:57:20 <SmatZ> the good way is using your distro's package manager
22:57:24 <SmatZ> else you can break things
22:57:33 <Rubidium> planetmaker: I said that Adler said that a new version was due in more than days and less than weeks, right?
22:58:02 <glx> planetmaker: 1.2.3 is from 2005
22:58:34 <planetmaker> Yes, Rubidium :-) I recall that
23:00:08 <mrruben5> smartz: port update zlib then?
23:02:07 <SmatZ> mrruben5: apple was quick with 1.2.4, I hope they will be even faster with 1.2.5 :)
23:02:13 <SmatZ> I don't know much about OSX...
23:02:47 <Rubidium> SmatZ: were they, I only heard complaints after 1.0.0
23:03:07 <mrruben5> nope macports has 1.2.4
23:03:16 <mrruben5> so I need to compile myself I guess
23:07:05 <planetmaker> SmatZ: macports is afaik not directly related to apple
23:07:19 * SmatZ created zlib-1.2.5 ebuild for gentoo, if anyone interested
23:07:23 <glx> lol they forgot to update win32 readme
23:10:10 <glx> and make install doesn't work
23:12:54 *** Coco-Banana-Man has quit IRC
23:14:33 <glx> why did they disable configure for mingw ???
23:15:39 <Eddi|zuHause> sounds like you're having fun ;)
23:15:57 <glx> IIRC 1.2.3 compiled out of the box
23:16:38 <Ammler> well, it looks like 1.2.5 just fixes bugs from >1.2.3, so if you still use that old zlib, you are fine
23:16:49 <Ammler> which e.g. suse and fedora does
23:17:45 <Ammler> would suprise me, if they update :-)
23:17:53 <glx> too much work needed to get 1.2.5, I'll stick to 1.2.3 for now
23:17:56 <planetmaker> well. there are some other bug fixes wrt 1.2.3
23:18:13 <planetmaker> Ammler: there's mem leaks in there afair the changelog
23:18:14 <Ammler> yeah, suse spec uses around 5 patches
