09:14:04 <Desrik> i know the server list is updated on refresh but the actual game stats are less frequent
09:14:30 <Desrik> and im assuming that if my server shows up on that list then people will be able to connect?

11:44:42 * andythenorth blew up the game :P
11:45:11 <ptr> are you still looking for a Mac developer?
11:45:28 <planetmaker> there's none so far
11:48:13 <ptr> I'm a developer, and I know stuff about Macs. I might be willing to contribute; but I need to do some more research into the code base etc before deciding
11:49:53 <__ln__> Ever compiled a Universal Binary?
11:49:54 <planetmaker> I guess the decision is rather done by doing than by "I want to"
11:50:19 <planetmaker> So if you consider it, consider fixing some of the OSX-related issues.
11:50:45 <planetmaker> universal on 10.6 != universal on 10.4
11:51:19 <planetmaker> the first is only i386 and x64 while the latter is ppc, i386 and x64
11:51:25 <andythenorth> ptr: if you can actually achieve something you'll get our sincere thanks :) However quite a few people have offered to maintain the port then failed, so we're a bit jaded by the mac issue :o
11:51:34 <andythenorth> (posted from OS X)
11:51:41 <ptr> yeah that's why I'm a bit hesitant :)
11:52:07 <planetmaker> don't talk. Try and come back when you think you succeed in having gotten somewhere :-)
11:52:34 <ptr> is there a bug reporting software of some kind? with tasks that need to be done, etc?
11:52:45 <planetmaker> Of course, getting advice on the road on a decision whether approach a or approach b is better - that's always feasable :-)
11:53:23 <ptr> "Game crashes when full screen is selected" :-)
11:53:23 <__ln__> Some volunteers have been clearly incompetent...
11:54:06 <planetmaker> ptr, the problem with many of those issues is: they happen with some hardware, with some OS version, but not all
11:54:38 <planetmaker> yeah. Otherwise it'd be easy actually.
11:54:57 <planetmaker> But I'm not competent enough to fix stuff I cannot reproduce.
11:54:58 <__ln__> One guy released an OS X binary with the copyrighted TTD files, for example. (Right?)
11:56:38 <ptr> still, there are a couple of feature requests for os x
11:57:08 <planetmaker> well. The CJK characters might be a feature request - but it's something the other platforms supply
11:57:17 <planetmaker> In my perception that's the easiest issue to implement
11:57:43 <__ln__> ptr: ignore #3447 though, it's completely irrelevant
11:58:00 <planetmaker> It's mainly to prove a point ;-)
11:58:36 <planetmaker> #3648 most probably is not an OpenTTD issue but a coreaudio issue.
11:59:03 <planetmaker> playing it in the midi player / quicktime without openttd, it doesn't crash
11:59:24 <ptr> __ln__: yea SDL isn't used anymore, right?
11:59:26 <planetmaker> 3651 - no idea. Doesn't happen for me
11:59:40 <planetmaker> ptr, it's not the default video driver. It still can be configured.
11:59:55 <planetmaker> Read the report. That's what I did there. On purpose. To prove that SDL is no alternative
11:59:57 <__ln__> ptr: it hasn't been used for about 5 years on OS X.
12:00:17 <planetmaker> or rather that it has at least as many issues as cocoa and providing a native port
12:01:10 <planetmaker> 2585 - nice bug. I can reproduce it. partially. But alas... mind the blitter being used
12:02:49 <__ln__> The "Port hopelessly updated" bug has 5 open bugs, 1 of which is irrelevant, 1 of which is hard to reproduce, 1 which is a feature request... 2 left.
12:04:47 <planetmaker> I count 3 real bugs, 1 missing feature, two feature requests and one semi-bug (=SDL)
12:05:14 <ptr> so where would I start? It seems the OS X port is kinda working
12:05:32 <planetmaker> start whereever you want
12:06:21 <ptr> alright, I'll see if I manage to even build it all. :)
12:06:33 *** Chris_Booth has joined #openttd
12:13:29 <andythenorth> ptr: it should build fine....I have no compiling knowledge and I build my own for 10.5. It 'just works'
12:14:23 <ptr> thanks, I never look forward to compiling a new project
12:34:06 *** devilsadvocate has joined #openttd
12:38:01 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... our president resigns...
12:38:31 <__ln__> what does the king say about that?
12:39:59 <planetmaker> that's a surprise indeed.
12:40:28 *** ajmiles has joined #openttd
12:41:23 <Eddi|zuHause> i believe that's the first resignation of a german head of state since 1918
12:41:43 <planetmaker> at least since 1945
12:41:54 <Eddi|zuHause> that wasn't really a "resignation" ;)
12:41:59 *** Katje_ is now known as Kitty
12:42:47 <Eddi|zuHause> "fun fact": all of these were war related ;)
12:43:14 *** George is now known as Guest362
12:50:57 <Eddi|zuHause> what are the current majorities in the "Bundesversammlung" nowadays?
12:51:41 <Eddi|zuHause> NRW government still undecided, possibility of "Ampel" (red/yellow/green) returns
12:54:01 <Eddi|zuHause> (although that's still a very vague possibility)
12:57:43 *** George3 has joined #openttd
12:59:34 <SmatZ> was Hitler a president?
13:01:55 <Eddi|zuHause> that's a little diffuse... theoretically he was chancellor
13:02:04 <Eddi|zuHause> hindenburg was president, until he died
13:02:13 <Eddi|zuHause> and the post was not reassigned
13:04:33 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm sure there were regulations on who takes up for the president... currently that's the "Bundesratspräsident", i'm not sure how similar that is to the old rules
13:06:52 *** Beklugas is now known as Belugas
13:07:02 <Eddi|zuHause> "Das Kabinett Hitler setzte schon am 1. August, also dem Tag vor Hindenburgs Tod, eine Volksabstimmung über die Zusammenlegung des Amtes des Reichskanzlers und des Reichspräsidenten in der Person des „Führers“ Hitler für den 19. August 1934 an."
13:08:41 <Rubidium> isn't this one war related too?
13:09:22 <planetmaker> there was no war at that time
13:09:33 *** George34 has joined #openttd
13:11:21 <Eddi|zuHause> there was no resignation either...
13:11:47 *** einKarl has joined #openttd
13:12:40 <__ln__> in finland a law like the one that allowed Hitler to gain power was approved just a few weeks ago.
13:15:13 <__ln__> someone in the parliament pointed out the Hitler fact, and others said it's absurd to compare nazis and finnish politicians of the 2000's

13:21:17 *** Eddi|zuHause2 has joined #openttd

14:22:07 <zachanima> has ISS died by the way?
14:22:20 <peter1138> international space station?
14:22:50 <zachanima> Infrastructure Sharing
14:23:01 <zachanima> I was of the impression that was the de facto abbreviation
14:24:14 <PeterT> zachanima: it's not died
14:24:41 <zachanima> I was thinking development of it
14:24:58 <PeterT> Hirundo: has is2 died?
14:26:01 <planetmaker> Missing some good ideas for a few issues.
14:28:28 *** George34 has joined #openttd

18:51:46 <NGP> How do i buy like a flight or a bus ?
18:53:28 <Noldo_> airplanes are bought from hangars and busses from road vehicle depot
18:54:21 <NGP> Do i need to built a hangar, have already built a airport ?
18:57:49 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
19:02:05 <NGP> If i start my own game, will i then need to ad computerplayers or will they just come
19:03:44 <__ln__> de kommer automatiskt om du inte disablerar datorspelare.
19:04:32 <PeterT> you're almost english.
19:05:41 <NGP> any idea of how long it will take
19:06:41 <planetmaker> NGP: it depends upon how you set it...
19:07:15 <b_jonas> NGP: you have to set them up in the dialogs when you start the game, and, before that, in the AI settings dialog of the main menu
19:07:45 <b_jonas> NGP: it does take some time for them to launch so even if you have set everything up correctly you may have to wait a few years for them to appear
19:07:49 <b_jonas> depeding on the settings
19:16:49 <PeterT> somebody is hosting a cargodist is2 server using ipv6 D:
19:18:23 *** JostVice has joined #openttd
19:18:40 * PeterT is stubborn and will try to connect anywy
19:24:36 <PeterT> but, but...I was speaking american english!
19:25:17 <NGP> Have played the very old tt and locomotion and this is just a little different
19:26:00 <NGP> when new companies start up the keep going bankrupt
19:30:17 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
19:31:48 <NGP> Why do new companies go bankrupt when starting up ?
19:31:56 <PeterT> because the players suck
19:32:26 <b_jonas> they don't go bankrupt for me, but then I'm playing on not too hard difficulty now, and I'm getting rich too fast as well
19:35:03 <Wasila> It's easy to avoid bankruptcy
19:35:14 <Wasila> Just always leave 10k or so to borrow in case of an emergency
19:38:28 <NGP> no matter what i do the other players keep going bankrupt, anyone who have an idea for me what to do ?
19:38:53 <Lapsus> NGP: Send them money :D
19:40:14 <NGP> i dont even get to see them start up before a get a message about they are bankrupt
19:42:21 <Lapsus> increase the max loan to $1000000?
19:42:40 <Lapsus> or 500000 pounds, or whatever the equivalent is in your favourite currency
19:45:07 <b_jonas> next game I'll play with more difficult settings. I guess I only set it easy for this game because this is my first in openttd.
19:45:52 <b_jonas> it's only 1983 and I'm buying the staues now
19:53:12 <b_jonas> I'll have to learn how to do passenger transportation. Even in ttd and ttdpatch I do goods and oil transport much better, and do the passenger trains in a bit ad hoc way, so I feel like I could improve a lot.
19:53:40 <b_jonas> What's the secret to transporting passengers (either with train or with airplane)?
20:17:35 <b_jonas> is it worth to make the passenger train station and airport a single station to maintain a higher rating?
20:18:16 <planetmaker> depends upon how you use it.
20:23:09 <b_jonas> on one hand, I'm happy high bridges and extended building under bridges is enabled in the release, because that will help me cross these ai roads here.
20:23:09 <CIA-9> OpenTTD: frosch * r19914 /trunk/ (19 files in 6 dirs): -Codechange: Wrap a helper class around temporary assignments of _current_company to ensure proper restoration.
20:23:31 <b_jonas> on the other hand, it makes me sad too because I guess it means that signals on bridges won't be easy to implement
20:55:39 <NGP> how do i sell a part of my company ?
20:57:38 *** Progman has joined #openttd
21:02:06 <planetmaker> why would you need that, NGP ? It's a game about transport. Not about stocks etc pp
21:03:18 <Belugas> see you, i'm running home!

22:18:26 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... possible scenario: if they choose the ministerpresident of Nordrhein-Westphalen Jürgen Rüttgers to become the new federal president, they could have an SPD-lead "great coalition" in NRW...
22:26:31 <__ln__> according to wikipedia, it's "North Rhine-Westphalia"
22:31:55 <planetmaker> in English. In German it's Nordrhein-Westfalen
22:32:30 <planetmaker> English people spell differently many German place names
22:44:55 <Eddi|zuHause> the name "Ostfalen" disappeared over the centuries...
22:44:56 <Rubidium> planetmaker: have you heard about gcc's plans to drop objc++ support? That would effectively drop OpenTTD for Mac support with new compilers all-together :)
22:45:44 <PeterT> I'm guessing it wouldn't be easy to use an older version of gcc?
22:46:16 <Rubidium> "The Obj-C++ front end is effectively unmaintained, and has virtually
22:46:16 <Rubidium> no serious users. I propose to remove it from GCC.
22:47:31 <Eddi|zuHause> and what about Obj-C?
22:47:59 <Rubidium> objc isn't such a hack as objc++
22:48:10 <Eddi|zuHause> and would it be feasible to "downgrade" the mac specific parts to that language?
22:48:40 <planetmaker> Not quite sure, but the API is in objc++ IIRC
22:48:52 <planetmaker> but maybe it was only objc
22:49:20 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: not sure about that. The objc -> c++ "API" is abysmal at best.
22:49:36 <Rubidium> problem of objectc++ is multiple inheritance
22:50:07 <Rubidium> objc extends c; c++ extends c; objectc++ extends objc, c++
22:52:33 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't know how objc differs from c at all...
22:52:57 <Rubidium> [obj method: argument];
22:53:16 <Rubidium> that would be what is obj->method(argument); in C++
23:06:28 *** NukeBuster has left #openttd
23:12:00 <__ln__> 01:31 < planetmaker> in English. In German it's Nordrhein-Westfalen <-- which is not what Eddi wrote
23:13:28 <planetmaker> he got it wrong ;-)
23:14:13 <planetmaker> and ph and f can be pronounced the same in German. And sometimes the older script writes ph where nowadays we write f
23:22:51 <__ln__> I think that removal of ObjC++ from GCC thing pasted by Rubidium is a no-issue from OpenTTD's perspective.
23:24:55 <__ln__> Because it most certainly will not be removed from Apple's version of GCC, and I doubt there's Obj-C++ code in OTTD that is not OSX-specific.
23:43:33 <Eddi|zuHause> __ln__: i don't think i have ever seen a "double-ph" :p
23:44:11 <Eddi|zuHause> ph is mostly in greek-derived words... but names are always somewhat special
