IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2010-11-25
⏴ go to previous day
00:26:00 <Samu> remove absurd road-elements during the road construction
00:26:20 <Samu> is this for the town AI or for the player?
00:29:25 <SmatZ> when player pays for road reconstruction
00:52:41 <Samu> percentage of leg profit to pay in feeder systems
00:53:10 <Belugas> part of the total trip
00:53:33 <Belugas> a to b - b to c - c to d
00:54:11 <Samu> the more transfers I do, the less I gain in the last leg?
01:01:32 <Belugas> dunno. it depends of a lot. but for sure, the more legs, the more time. thus less profitable
01:11:42 <Samu> {BLACK}View and/or set face number of the company president
01:11:57 <Samu> I need help on this, what if the president is female?
01:13:21 <Samu> {BLACK}Ver e/ou definir número de cara do/da presidente da empresa
01:13:40 <glx> no remove the president part :)
01:14:33 <glx> {BLACK}View and/or set face number
01:22:31 *** supermop has joined #openttd
01:27:54 <Samu> {BLACK}Remove all company-owned property from the map
01:28:06 <Samu> is that 1 company only, or all companies?
01:29:49 <Samu> wow, never seen such thing happen
01:30:23 <supermop> i am at my parents house
01:30:57 <SmatZ> Samu: it's available in scenario editor

01:55:17 <Samu> {LTBLUE}Maximum number of non-sticky windows: {ORANGE}disabled
01:55:20 <Samu> a little problem with the english
01:55:35 <Samu> disabled could mislead to no windows at all
01:57:20 <Samu> maybe unlimited instead of disabled?
01:58:21 <Eddi|nichZuHause> i don't remember that setting
02:00:09 <Samu> it's a setting that changes the number of windows I can have at once
02:00:22 <Samu> when I open more than that number, it closes some others
02:01:01 <Eddi|nichZuHause> why even expose that to the user?
02:01:29 <Samu> it can run out of memory or something, someone said
02:21:03 <Samu> then it's not E.T in portuguese, it's F.T
02:40:18 <Samu> how do I change phrase construction for depots?
02:40:43 <Samu> London Road Vehicle Depot
02:40:51 <Samu> Road Vehicle Depot of London

02:58:05 <Samu> when I click industry generator
02:58:24 <Samu> I get a window saying, finance new industry
02:58:40 <Samu> but I'm editing a scenario, not playing
02:59:38 <Samu> can't edit it, or it will change on both, I think
02:59:56 <glx> STR_FUND_INDUSTRY_CAPTION
03:00:39 <Samu> no, that's not what I mean
03:00:58 <Samu> fund new industry is for when playing
03:01:20 <Samu> ah, it should be changed
03:06:09 <Samu> there's many erroneous tooltips in scenario editor

11:33:36 <George> Does anybody know, is the layout already defined and can be checked or not while CB14B and 14C (Decide input and output cargo types)
11:37:15 <Rubidium> George: the type is already known; it's actually half way through constructing the industry, i.e. all industry variables will work but the industry tiles haven't been placed yet
11:39:14 <xiong> Some trouble with building dense bus feeder lines of ~50 vehicles per town. Seems that I can't avoid serious jams -- by "serious", I mean ones that don't clear eventually on their own.
11:41:25 <xiong> I've tried building more stops per station, one-way roads, and juggling locations of stops and depots. All efforts seem to fail on a single cause: Whatever I do, one specific route from A to B is always "best", according to pathfinder (YAPF). It's deterministic and doesn't take into account traffic on the road ahead.
11:43:27 <George> Rubidium: Does it mean that industry registers are already created be read/written?
11:43:30 <xiong> So, I might provide 3 equally good routes from A to B but all traffic going that way will choose only one of them. Unless I'm extremely fascist about things, some other C to D traffic will also find a preferred route, which will intersect the A-B preferred route at some point.
11:44:16 <Rubidium> or at least should be
11:44:30 <xiong> What can be done? I've searched heavily for discussions of road vehicle networks, routing, etc. Nobody seems to have solved this.
11:44:40 <Rubidium> in OpenTTD's implementation
11:48:52 <planetmaker> use stations as waypoints
11:49:00 <planetmaker> and go via orders
11:49:11 <planetmaker> and use only so many vehicles as the road network supports
11:50:13 <xiong> planetmaker, I've been thinking about ordering with waypoints. I imagine I can untangle things eventually if, essentially, I bypass the pathfinder and specify routing for each vehicle.
11:50:59 <xiong> "How many vehicles the network supports" is kinda vague. I have plenty of open road; the vehicles just don't want to use it.
11:52:06 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
11:52:11 <xiong> They all want the "best" road, which then, obviously, becomes the worst road. They just don't see that. I read a forum discussion about pathfinder inspection of traffic. Apparently, there isn't any.
11:53:07 <George> Rubidium: Do tileas location checks are done?
11:53:47 <George> I mean what CBs already happened before CB14B & CB14C
11:54:09 <xiong> The critical comment, seems to me, was that you might look ahead at a tile and see it was occupied by a vehicle; but you couldn't tell which way it was going. This seems to me to be a straw man. Traffic on a road should be a discouragement to getting on that road, regardless of direction.
11:56:35 <xiong> I don't see a Requested Feature on this, only that forum post. Is there a moratorium on pathfinder improvement? Should I write this up, perhaps with a use case savegame? Is this a dead issue?
11:58:10 <xiong> BTW, I've turned off road vehicle queuing; 'off' seems to help a lot.
12:20:03 *** Chillosophy has joined #openttd
12:20:48 <xiong> Does that mean your philosophy is to "chill"?

12:52:26 <Eddi|zuHause> i could say something, but that wouldn't really help his monologue :p
13:06:20 <George> Rubidium: what CBs do already happened before CB14B & CB14C?
13:09:28 <Yexo> xiong: I think (never tested it) that checking for traffic on the complete route will cause serious slowdowns
13:09:51 <Yexo> of course if you manage to write an implementation that is not a lot slower than yapf while improving the situation that would be very welcome
13:10:11 <xiong> Yexo, That's a consideration. Hundreds of vehicles, testing at each junction the state of the road ahead...
13:10:46 <xiong> Yexo, Did you get the penntowns files?
13:11:16 <Yexo> please mail them or send them via pm on tt-forums
13:13:19 <xiong> Yexo, Is @openttd.org no good?
13:13:51 <Yexo> yexo@openttd.org is the correct address
13:14:18 <planetmaker> I think Fred had the same problem with those kind of e-mails
13:16:53 <xiong> Oh, I'm not quite correct that YAPF is fully deterministic. There is some sort of randomization or some dynamic weighting; I'm not sure what. But the tendency is strong for road vehicles to pick a "best" route, regardless of traffic ahead.
13:18:10 <xiong> Actually looking ahead all the way to dest would be not only time-intensive; it would be unrealistic. If random numbers were cheaper, I'd say just to introduce a certain amount.
13:23:12 <xiong> Terkhen, Interesting. Don't know why searches didn't turn that up for me. Perhaps it's just the high volume of forum posts in general. So, it looks good -- what happened? That last version looks to have been done in 2007.
13:23:36 <Terkhen> Roujin does not seem very active lately
13:24:12 <xiong> Perhaps I should Be Bold and stick it in Requested Features -- as 99% done. Just needs to be merged into trunk.
13:25:24 <Yexo> are you talking about the wiki page?
13:25:31 <Yexo> stick in there what you want, but it's mostly ignored
13:27:00 <xiong> I am talking about the wiki page. If it's mostly ignored, then what?
13:28:07 <Terkhen> the usual path is to code, mantain and update the patch, take into account comments and reviews and post it to the bug tracker
13:29:25 <xiong> I don't see much in the way of negative comments in that thread.
13:30:34 <Yexo> it looks like that topic attracted some spammers and was mostly ignored (except by terkhen)
13:31:33 <Terkhen> either I lost interest or I was not able to update the patch easily anymore
13:32:00 <Terkhen> yeah, my memory is as bad as that
13:34:45 <Terkhen> hmmm... I don't know if it is a good(TM) solution either; my knowledge of pathfinder is very sketchy
13:35:14 *** Chruker has joined #openttd
13:36:43 <Yexo> xiong: at the tiem you sent a mail I also send a mail to myself from another account. My own mail arrive 10 minutes later but I still haven't received your email
13:36:44 <xiong> Well, Terkhen, it appears you did well enough. That's certainly off my orbit.
13:37:44 <xiong> Yexo, I don't have a bounce.
13:38:04 <Yexo> I'll let you know when (if) I receive it
13:38:11 <xiong> Is there some sort of spamtrap built into that mail server?
13:38:23 <xiong> Perhaps it doesn't like my origin.
13:39:53 <planetmaker> it has actually quite a good one
13:40:34 <xiong> Yexo, Resent from an entirely different account and server.
13:40:49 <xiong> If you get one and not the other, please do let me know.

13:46:18 <planetmaker> what type of wagon transports cement?
13:51:19 <Yexo> xiong: received mail from email at mochamail
13:52:42 <xiong> Yexo, Thanks. Clearly, there's an issue with the other origin. I'm not into sending out spam; so I don't know why.
13:53:18 <Yexo> I never receive the mail, so it must be either something on your end or something on openttd.org
14:03:56 <planetmaker> I read it as "industry tile CB happens later", yes
14:04:20 <planetmaker> probably that'd be the result. But I'm very unfamiliar with those code pieces, too
14:05:01 <George> So CB14B&14C do not have any tile related information defined
14:05:54 <planetmaker> having only read through that function: yes
14:12:57 <Yexo> George: no, callback 2F has already been called before, but the tiles haven't actually been built yet

14:53:36 <Terkhen> glevans2: what OS are you using?
14:53:50 <Rubidium> I guess some Unix, but not Mac OS X
14:53:58 <Rubidium> without fontconfig-dev
14:55:09 <Rubidium> oh, and you miss r21230

14:56:54 <glevans2> ahh, so I need to added fontconfig-dev... is that a recent dependency addition?
14:59:02 <Rubidium> glevans2: if 4 years and 8 days is recent, then yet it's a recent new (optional) dependency
14:59:18 <Rubidium> otherwise, updating to svn HEAD should fix the compilation problem

15:37:37 * fjb hates nonstandard implementations of snprintf().
15:38:59 <Rubidium> fjb: you mean those that don't zero terminate?
15:40:10 <Rubidium> fjb: or the libc4 version of snprintf?
15:40:18 <fjb> No, those that return the number of characters they actually printed instead of the number of characters they would have printed if there would have been no overrun.
15:41:15 <Rubidium> fjb: no, libc4 just passed it on to sprintf (totally ignoring the limit)
15:41:38 <Rubidium> so Linux's snprintf is nonstandard?
15:43:37 <Rubidium> hmm, no... the documentation is just a bit sketchy on that
15:46:35 <fjb> No, it is an older version of eCos. They fixed it in a new version. But I'm stuck at the older one.
15:49:57 <fjb> Bad thing is you can not detect if it is truncating the output.
15:50:20 <Rubidium> just assume ret == size - 1 => truncation happened :)
15:52:24 <fjb> That is my work around. But what if the not truncated size was size -1?
15:53:15 <SmatZ> then you will get a false negative
15:53:27 <SmatZ> does that case matter much?
15:53:42 <SmatZ> you should be able to detect it by running a program
15:53:54 <SmatZ> in cofigure time if host==target...
15:54:05 <SmatZ> or just use your own replacement that works in all cases :)
15:54:36 <SmatZ> and #define snprintf mysnprintf
15:55:40 <fjb> Speed matters and I have to convert everything to ascii. I an own snprintf is no option at the moment. That false negative case will not happen that often, but it may have an impact if it happens.
15:56:23 <fjb> And I'm still not convinced that using an ascii protocol is a good idea when speed matters.
15:58:16 <fjb> But the most annoying thing is that I spent some time to find why my code was not working.
16:00:09 <SmatZ> if happens the corner case, allocate 1 byte longer buffer and try to snprintf to it
16:00:17 <SmatZ> then compare returned values
16:00:19 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r21322 /trunk/src/network/core/tcp_game.cpp: -Fix [FS#4268] (r20924): packets were leaked
16:00:20 <SmatZ> or something like that :)
16:00:42 <SmatZ> if you can't do that in compile-time
16:01:10 <fjb> No space for that buffer and no time to do the snprintf twice every time.
16:01:47 <fjb> The data is run time generated.
16:02:15 <Rubidium> what kind of data? Simple strings, or are more complex string formats being used?
16:02:46 <fjb> Depends, integers are the easy case, but also floats.
16:03:25 <fjb> Converting floats to ascii is really no fun.
16:03:51 *** Doorslammer has joined #openttd
16:04:17 <Rubidium> and copying snprintf from the newer library and using that? Or isn't there enough space on the device at all?
16:04:56 <SmatZ> snprintf(buf, "%f", f); is always slower than conver_float_to_ascii(buf, f);
16:05:32 <SmatZ> *I forgot one parameter...
16:05:55 <fjb> Copying the newer version of the library may be an option. I have to investigate.
16:06:34 <fjb> Hm, have to look if eCos has convert_float_to_ascii().
16:09:29 <SmatZ> you are a smart guy, you will find the best solution for sure :)
16:13:26 <supermop> no beer here today though
16:13:33 <supermop> but there is pie instead
16:13:41 <SmatZ> I would prefer the beer
16:14:55 <supermop> oatmeal stout +apple pie + vanilla icecream
16:15:11 <V453000> you forgot the main thing
16:18:02 <planetmaker> seven beer are also a small meal. And then you didn't even drink anything!
16:25:10 <b_jonas> I don't understand. the "http://www.openttd.org/en/" main page has a thumbnail labelled "Latest User Screenshot". but it links to a page of screenshot thumbnails and that image isn't among them.
16:27:08 <Rubidium> it isn't even the latest...
16:27:20 <Rubidium> ... or a 1.x screenshot
16:27:22 <planetmaker> It's just an image button :-)
16:29:51 <SmatZ> people can submit screenshot to that page?
16:30:16 <SmatZ> drop a mail to info@openttd...
16:34:10 <DorpsGek> SmatZ: I have not seen green-devil.
16:39:31 * Rubidium wonders by Liberci sounds familiar
16:39:59 <Vaca> hi everyone, i have just finish compiling ottd 1.0.5 for Mac OSX 10.6.X intel - because since version 0.7 no new version is downloadable. I also made an executable app for OSX. Does someone want it to to put it on the sites?
16:41:00 <Rubidium> putting your binary on our site (i.e. *.openttd.org) implies that Mac OS X is supported, which isn't the case
16:41:06 <planetmaker> There are various threads with those
16:41:23 <planetmaker> Compiling is also not the problem. Maintaining
16:44:16 <planetmaker> that was... quick
16:45:06 <V453000> czech people cant waste time they could spend by drinking beer
16:46:09 <Rubidium> oh, I know Liberci because of the crappy route to Germany from there
16:46:21 <V453000> yes, thats pretty sucky
16:46:44 <V453000> thats where I live btw :P
16:48:23 <Rubidium> although I reckon the route became much better recently
16:49:32 <Rubidium> given they joined the EU and as such (I assume) the Poland -> Germany border control isn't quite there anymore
16:52:26 <George> How to add a GRF in the existing game/scenario?
16:54:02 <Ammler> George: there is a new developer setting in the cfg for it
17:01:48 <planetmaker> you qualify to use the newgrf_developer_tools ;-)
17:02:24 <planetmaker> which also, btw, gives you an ingame sprite alignment tool as well as a variable and callback debug window
17:04:00 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
17:10:05 <George> CB28 var80 W Coordinates of the selected position
17:10:15 <George> What would be on large maps?
17:11:54 <Rubidium> OpenTTD probably happily returns a dword
17:13:38 <George> so checking second byte would be also x coordinate instead of y?
17:14:18 <Rubidium> that'll depend on the map
17:14:42 <Rubidium> for a 64x64 map only the first 6 bits will be x
17:14:52 <Rubidium> for a 2048x2048 map the first 11 bits will be x
17:15:03 <George> so, 2 checks required in newgrf? map size and position size?
17:15:33 *** Melody_Tunes has joined #openttd
17:16:43 <Rubidium> I wonder where you'd use the position for anyways
17:17:22 <George> To prevent them appear near the border
17:17:43 <Rubidium> what's the problem with them being near the border?
17:17:50 <SmatZ> case 0x80: return industry->location.tile;
17:18:03 <George> In TTD there was a bug feature, that fields were plant on the other side of the map
17:18:17 <Rubidium> oh, so it's only needed for TTDPatch
17:18:35 <Rubidium> then just jump over the check for OpenTTD :)
17:18:43 <George> In OTTD the field would not cross the border?
17:19:42 <Rubidium> and if they (still) do, then that's a bug in OpenTTD
17:19:52 <George> what is the best way to check the distance to the map border? (In CB 28)
17:21:33 <George> Also for layout check. If I check the tile for FF (empty tile) would it be success if behind the boder or not?
17:21:38 <Rubidium> getbyte 1: 00..20 goto near border, E0..FF goto near border, default: check byte 2
17:22:42 <Rubidium> that's basically how varact2 works, right? Get some data and compare it to some range to jump to another (var)action2?
17:22:47 <George> and what would be in case 2048x2048? I would get not y coordinate there
17:23:07 <George> and for 64x64 it is also wrong to test e0-ff?
17:23:11 <Rubidium> but you don't need it in OpenTTD as the farms don't wrap around
17:24:28 <George> Currently I'm not thinking about the reason for effect, I'm thinkig for a code :)
17:24:59 <George> so, what about layout check FF
17:26:15 <George> industry layouts prop 0A
17:27:09 <Rubidium> that ignores borders IIRC
17:31:13 * Rubidium ponders what kind of dinner to make
17:32:00 <George> ignores means the tile outside the border is always free or always used?
17:32:52 <Rubidium> I think free as you can build oil rigs quite close to the border
17:33:17 <George> how to prevent it in a best way?
17:33:31 <George> (coding fishing grounds)
17:33:49 <George> I want it to be at least 10 tiles from border
17:34:23 <planetmaker> That makes it difficult to place them in a coastal setup
17:34:52 <George> planetmaker: what coastal?
17:35:00 <supermop> ok time to cut up turkey
17:35:33 <planetmaker> ^ where each character is like 3 tiles
17:35:46 <planetmaker> and x is land, ~ is water and F is your industry
17:36:09 <planetmaker> well. I generally see no need to forbid fishing grounds near-map-border placement
17:36:09 * Rubidium wonders why Samu hasn't modified strings that actually need to use the gender of its substring
17:36:23 <George> coast can be on the border
17:36:27 <planetmaker> But I guess I'm missing out on something there
17:37:09 <planetmaker> you want it 10 tiles from land or from border?
17:37:46 <George> I did it 10 tiles from land already. Now I need 10 tiles from border
17:38:07 <George> 8B W Distance to the closest water tile if property 1A bit 2 is clear (built on land); distance to the closest empty dry land tile if property 1A bit 2 is clear (built on water)
17:38:50 <George> it would be OK if there is water all around ...
17:38:51 <planetmaker> they'd never show up on my favourite map style then, I guess
17:39:01 <George> there was a GRF in TTDP for that
17:39:18 <planetmaker> uhm... outside the map there's *nothing*.
17:39:22 <planetmaker> Neither land nor water
17:39:32 <George> But it looked as water
17:39:49 <planetmaker> then replace the black tile by a water tile.
17:39:59 <George> then an idustry near the border looked like in the open water
17:40:01 <planetmaker> Some early pre-base set OpenGFX newgrf implemented that
17:40:37 <George> Unfortunately it would look bad, because in OTTD the boder can be high land
17:41:02 <planetmaker> but then it'd fail due to the check of land nearby already.
17:41:17 <planetmaker> And I don't see where the border is land and the land check would say 'water'.
17:41:50 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
17:41:59 <Yexo> planetmaker: due to the possibility that the border is land you can't replace the black tile with water, as that would glitch
17:42:26 <Yexo> as such, tiles around are black, not water, so it's impossible to create the illusion of the fishing grounds being at see while they're actually at the border of the map
17:43:04 <planetmaker> that's what you mean :-)
17:43:21 <George> Yes, sorry for my bad english

17:43:32 *** Melody_Tunes was kicked by DorpsGek (spam)
17:43:36 <Yexo> I see no easier way other than checking the map size and using industry var 80
17:44:21 <George> Yexo: May be we can have one more var for CB 28 - distance to the boder?
17:45:52 <Yexo> that is possible, however I think it's not needed that often and it can already be computed in nfo
17:46:41 <George> it is required for in sea industries. That is not much, but I hope it is also not hard to implement?
17:47:34 <Yexo> planetmaker: I don't see a problem for such maps, although 10 tiles is maybe a bit much
17:47:50 <George> fishing grounds on the top looks located fine
17:47:51 <Yexo> but if the minimum distance from land is also 10 tiles there is not much change
17:48:00 <planetmaker> I didn't find any location which had 20x20 free water
17:48:30 <George> it is not 20x20. It is D=20
17:48:30 <planetmaker> that's 5 tiles from land
17:48:43 <planetmaker> 10 tiles = 20x20 free
17:48:59 <planetmaker> with industry in the middle
17:49:07 <planetmaker> by my understanding
17:49:35 <planetmaker> 5 tiles would work nicely here, though
17:50:22 <George> Doesn't it Euclidean distance? So it is D=20, not 20x20
17:51:59 <planetmaker> My bet is on manhattan distance
17:52:52 <planetmaker> but actually, near the upper ship one has about 30x30 tiles free water :-)
17:53:17 <George> So you would get it :)
17:53:49 <planetmaker> possibly yes. Could I build it still everywhere I want in both scenario editor and ingame as player?
17:54:49 <George> In editor - yes. As player - no. It is raw material industry. Prospect only

18:48:53 <Samu> ok, I have set genders to industries
18:48:59 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r21324 /trunk/src/lang/croatian.txt: -Fix: load of failures of WT3 to properly validate some strings...
18:49:07 <Samu> now how to i make it work during news messages?
18:53:57 <Rubidium> you use it like {P ..} but... it needs 5 parameters (in the order from the gender setting) instead of 2
18:54:29 <Rubidium> e.g. "{G m f n mp fp} {STRING}"
18:55:33 <Samu> d{G o a e os as} {STRING}
18:57:01 <Wolf01> lol, I read d{G o a t se}
18:58:49 <Samu> what if I don't want to add any character?
18:59:10 <Samu> then it becomes 2 spaces
18:59:32 <Rubidium> huh? what becomes 2 spaces?
19:00:44 <Samu> something something gender-goes-here something
19:00:54 <Rubidium> then add the space to the other strings: foo{G " o" " a" "" " os" " as"} bar
19:06:23 <Samu> can I set gender to stations?
19:06:58 <Rubidium> just not the custom station names
19:08:17 <Samu> or I get everything messed up
19:08:43 <Rubidium> better do it right when you can do it right; after all, you probably can't get the gender of NewGRFs right either (unless you start sending patches to those NewGRF developers)
19:10:25 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:10:38 <Samu> what does the All string do?
19:11:22 <Rubidium> which is basically defaulting to the first gender
19:11:47 <Samu> can you switch n to first then?
19:12:17 <andythenorth> all I wanted was more beautiful smoke for ships
19:12:24 <andythenorth> what I got was an MB argument :(
19:12:27 <Rubidium> I really hope you haven't added much {G .. .. .. .. ..}s yet
19:13:11 <andythenorth> Hirundo: I feel I should in some way apologise :P
19:13:27 <Samu> but i have set genders already to industries
19:13:34 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r21325 /trunk/src/lang/portuguese.txt: -Change: the order of Portuguese genders
19:13:45 <Rubidium> Samu: setting genders isn't a problem; those don't depend on the order of genders
19:14:01 <Rubidium> the {G .. .. .. .. ..} does depend on the order of the genders
19:15:34 <Zuu> Out of interest, is gender a plural-thing, or how does you relate it to the variable part of the string?
19:16:03 <Rubidium> Zuu: what do you mean with "variable part"?
19:16:33 <Zuu> Eg. the number or string that is inserted in the middle of a string for example.
19:16:47 <Zuu> Eg. a vehicle number, industry name etc.
19:17:25 <Rubidium> it's like plural, but plural is for numbers and gender is for (sub)strings
19:18:20 <Rubidium> but for genders you need to manually set the gender of the (sub)strings whereas for plurals a generic method is used to determine the plural based on the value of the number
19:19:40 <Samu> my problem was uknowing when a string is a town or a industry
19:20:16 <Samu> for now towns have no gender
19:20:17 <Zuu> so if a language have genders, there is some additional controls to define the gender of eg. a industry name. Makes me happy Swedish does not have genders :-)
19:20:26 <Rubidium> {INDUSTRY} means it's an industry. Likewise {TOWN} is a town (without a gender)
19:20:50 <Samu> string string string string
19:21:20 <Alberth> andythenorth: if there is one thing smoking, it's the discussion :p
19:22:05 <Samu> subsidy awarded to string! string from string to string will pay 50% more for the next year
19:22:21 <andythenorth> mb is actually really quite rude
19:22:28 <SmatZ> andythenorth: at forums?
19:22:29 <Samu> those strings can be towns or
19:22:33 <Hirundo> Because He is always Right
19:22:48 <andythenorth> the "name" thing is incredibly rude, at least in native english
19:23:06 <andythenorth> if the man's going to argue, why doesn't he at least just argue
19:23:31 <Terkhen> arguing would imply that he's at the same level than the person he's arguing with
19:23:59 <andythenorth> can we code better smoke instead? Ideally breaking existing newgrf spec :P
19:24:03 <andythenorth> that would be fun
19:24:05 <Samu> when I am awarded a subsidy for transporting passengers from a town to another
19:24:13 <Samu> the string becomes town?
19:24:30 <Samu> what if I am awarded a subsidy transporting coal ?
19:24:41 <Samu> string becomes industry?
19:24:49 <Yexo> Samu: those strings can indeed be either industries or towns
19:24:56 <Yexo> or even stations? not sure about that
19:24:57 <SmatZ> it will be replaced by name of industry or town
19:25:18 <Samu> name of industry is gender sensitive?
19:25:31 <SmatZ> I think you can't do anything with that
19:25:40 <Yexo> I think you'd need to use {G 0:1 ....} or something like that
19:25:51 <SmatZ> depends what you want to do :)
19:25:59 <SmatZ> but those are {RAW_STRING}
19:26:12 <Yexo> in that case I don't think it'll work at all
19:26:15 <SmatZ> they are simply printed to buffer as {TOWN} or {INDUSTRY}
19:27:23 <SmatZ> just leave it imperfect :P
19:27:25 <Yexo> ignore genders for the subsidy strings
19:38:58 <Samu> you have string in nearly all news messages
19:39:22 <Samu> new string under construction near town!
19:40:10 <Samu> new string being planted near town!
19:40:26 <Samu> string announces imminent closure
19:44:08 <Belugas> string annoucing snow is gonna fall
19:50:27 <Yexo> those strings are the industry type names, those can have genders
19:51:16 <Samu> ok, let's hope I don't break something
19:53:45 <planetmaker> [20:44] <Belugas> string annoucing snow is gonna fall <-- I don't need the future tense for that
19:54:30 <andythenorth> play arctic in tribute :P
19:54:38 * andythenorth should add some more snow to FIRS
19:54:44 <andythenorth> no snow here, just fricking cold
19:55:30 * andythenorth is sick and bored
19:56:04 <Belugas> friday should be the day of the big first fall of the dardned white stuff
19:56:45 * Belugas cuddles andythenorth nearby the fireplace, with hot chocolate and rum
19:56:55 <andythenorth> sounds a bit wrong
19:57:23 <Belugas> mmh... right... fireplace makes noise..
19:57:51 <Samu> {BIGFONT}{BLACK}Nov{G o o a os as} {STRING} est{G á á á ão ão} a ser plantad{G o o a os as} em {TOWN}!
19:58:02 <Samu> new forest is being planted near town
19:58:10 <Belugas> so i can crush my colleagues! YES SIR ANDY!
19:58:33 <Samu> how do I fix the G thing
19:58:53 <Samu> they're all related to the first gender
19:59:00 <Belugas> oh... thing.. not string
19:59:21 <Yexo> {G 0:1 o o a os as} I think
19:59:36 <Yexo> it should only be needed for the first G
20:00:03 <Yexo> if it works for the first one but not for the second and third, it's only needed for the second and third :p
20:00:21 <Samu> nova floresta está a ser plantada em town
20:00:39 <Samu> novos cogumelos estão a ser plantados em town
20:00:51 <Samu> novo singal está a ser plantado em town
20:01:04 <glx> indeed the first G needs an extra arg
20:01:18 <glx> because it's before the {STRING}
20:01:35 <Yexo> I wasn't sure whether it referenced the string before or after
20:01:48 <Samu> town gender doesn't matter
20:02:07 <Samu> gender is all dependent on the {string}
20:02:15 * andythenorth might have to somewhat cheat the speed of a Nodwell
20:02:53 <Yexo> {{BIGFONT}BLACK}Nov{G 0 o o a os as} {STRING} est{G á á á ão ão} a ser plantad{G o o a os as} em {TOWN}! <- that should work
20:03:49 <supermop> with roadtypes 9mph could be usefull
20:04:07 <supermop> some indeterminate time in the future
20:04:36 <andythenorth> Zuu: I was thinking the same
20:04:39 <andythenorth> I've been in that bus
20:05:20 <Yexo> more mistakes besides the missing { before BLACK ?
20:06:01 <glx> it's not missing it's before {BIGFONT}
20:06:25 <glx> anyway I just checked french translation and no 0 there
20:07:32 <Zuu> btw biking with a dynamo (electricity generator powered lamp) in the snow makes biking in snow even more interesting. Since the snow gives lower grip for the dynamo I need to bike farily fast to get light which makes a challenge with snowy bike paths. :-)
20:07:49 <Yexo> why is french using {NBSP} before the ! in some strings but not in others?
20:08:00 * andythenorth biked in the snow last year
20:08:11 <Yexo> STR_NEWS_INDUSTRY_PLANTED vs STR_NEWS_COMPANY_LAUNCH_DESCRIPTION (both end with {TOWN}! )
20:09:56 <Zuu> I tried to kick my front wheel to move a part out of place so it doesn't cause snow comming up all the time, but accidently got my foot into the wheel so it stoped. Fortunately I wasn't biking very fast. :-)
20:10:09 <Samu> {BIGFONT}{BLACK}{G 0 "" O A Os As} {STRING} anunci{G a a a am am} fecho iminente!
20:10:38 <Samu> at the start if the industry has no gender defined
20:11:23 <Samu> but not with a space after that
20:11:33 <Samu> it's the elimination of the first word
20:11:37 <glx> there will be a space before {STRING}
20:11:50 <Yexo> change it to {G 0 "" "O " "A " "Os " "As "}{STRING}
20:24:16 <glx> Yexo: I found 5 missing {NBSP} ;)
20:25:08 <Yexo> so it was pure conindicence I stumbled over one while looking at a single translation in that language file
20:45:19 <Zuu> Yexo: Now we got an "IdleMore" on bananas :-)
20:47:06 <Zuu> And if ever someone wants some new features send their patches to me so we don't get a IdleLess as well :-p
20:47:06 <Yexo> Zuu: did you write the shortname in caps like most shortnames?
20:47:33 <Zuu> Yexo: no, because Idle had it in lowercase and I really didn't think.
20:47:46 <Zuu> I can change it if it matters.
20:48:02 <Yexo> it doesn't matter, as long as they are unique
20:48:42 <Yexo> what was the shortname for Idle ?
20:49:59 <Zuu> So now you got all kind of cases :-)
20:50:34 <Yexo> np, doesn't matter really
20:50:50 <Yexo> I'm actually not sure how useful that list is, but it makes it easy to check if a shortname is already used
20:51:14 <Yexo> basically it's there to prevent the current mess with grfids where there are duplicates
20:51:29 <Yexo> but bananas does a good job of that too, so it's not so important anymore
20:51:56 * Alberth pondered adding urls of threads to it a long time ago
20:52:29 <Alberth> ie so it could serve as an index
20:52:40 <Zuu> Yep, I actually rellyed on that I don't recall any AI that would be shorten as idmo and the fact that bananas would reject duplicates so I was a bit lazy and didn't check the list. If I would have checked the list, I would probably have realized that I should have used upper case. :-)
20:53:31 <Zuu> Bananas works farily well as an index as well.

21:33:38 <planetmaker> packed in little boxes?
21:33:42 <andythenorth> planetmaker: there's one in the FIRS repo, do you want to lift it and ship a new object?
21:33:56 <andythenorth> planetmaker: electricity of course :|

21:35:18 * Devedse is trying to push the addition of worm holes into openttd
21:35:31 <planetmaker> Devedse: they're there for ages...
21:35:52 <planetmaker> called tunnels and bridges
21:36:16 <Devedse> :>, is it possible to use them as real wormholes?
21:36:41 <planetmaker> Rather make ultra-fast trains
21:36:50 <planetmaker> on a wormhole track or so
21:37:13 <planetmaker> after all wormholes only speed up things to 10x usual warp or so ;-)
21:37:32 <Devedse> Can't you like set a tunnel start point at 1 - 1 for example and the endpoint at 255 - 255
21:37:41 <SmatZ> I am not sure if real wormholes would work with pathfinders
21:38:09 <SmatZ> if they don't expect planar map
21:38:12 <planetmaker> obviously diagonal tunnels and bridges are not implemented, Devedse
21:38:37 <andythenorth> opengfx smoke for power plant is quite nice
21:38:45 <Devedse> planetmaker, so it would only work straight, so just as a verry long tunnel but when a train enters it its speed increases by 10 times or so?
21:38:46 <planetmaker> but honestly, the much easier path: create an engine with max newgrf-able speed in tunnels. Normal otherwise
21:38:53 <planetmaker> or along those lines
21:39:59 <Devedse> Can the pathfinder give priority's to fast speed tracks?
21:40:37 <planetmaker> you could alternatively just define a wormhole track type
21:40:52 <planetmaker> and increase speed on that track type to insane. Then you can have anything you want
21:41:02 <planetmaker> except you'll have to make engines aware of that type.
21:41:15 <planetmaker> you could even make them somewhat invisible then
21:41:26 <planetmaker> the path finder prefers fast tracks already
21:42:39 <Devedse> planetmaker, lol it's pretty fun to look at all that stuff in that link, seeing that the shadow of a plane isn't an actual shadow but just an object :D
21:43:02 <planetmaker> nah, not an object. It's another vehicle ;-)
21:43:22 <planetmaker> same as the electric sparks actually, or the smoke
21:43:24 <Devedse> (don't you love old school graphics)
21:43:38 <planetmaker> I guess... that's why I love this game
21:43:42 <Terkhen> using the shadow of an aircraft to carry mail is one of the most mindblowing parts of the code IMO :)

21:44:02 <Samu> but I'm not really sure if it's going to be correct once I send to webtranslator
21:44:03 <Devedse> is that really implemented that way ?
21:44:05 <planetmaker> Devedse: that's the main purpose
21:44:15 <Terkhen> a vehicle can only carry one kind of cargo, so...
21:44:36 <planetmaker> call it hack. call it genious. It's a close call
21:44:44 <Terkhen> it is a bit scary when you get to know the code so well that these kind of details start making perfect sense
21:44:46 <planetmaker> vehicle = one wagon or so
21:44:50 <planetmaker> not the whole train
21:44:57 <andythenorth> makes complete sense
21:45:16 <planetmaker> did you follow the conversation or just make random comments?
21:45:27 <Terkhen> andythenorth: I know, but my first reaction was quite similar than Devedse's :P
21:46:14 <Samu> {BIGFONT}{BLACK}Produção de {STRING} {G 0 em no na nos nas} {INDUSTRY} aumenta {COMMA}%!
21:46:16 <Devedse> Next time I see an aircraft flying above me I'll search for it's shadow to see if they didn't forgot the mails :>
21:46:18 <Samu> is the G 0 correct there?
21:46:23 <Hirundo> andythenorth: In your interest, I shall not reply to your smoke topic until *someone* splits off all the offtopic stuff
21:46:51 <planetmaker> Hirundo: did you report the posting you want split off?
21:46:57 <andythenorth> I feel bad for starting it though Hirundo :o
21:47:13 <Hirundo> I can't blame you for MB invading your topic
21:47:14 * planetmaker strangely doesn't feel bad about that
21:47:18 <Samu> there are 3 things there
21:47:31 <Samu> {string} {industry} {comma}
21:47:35 <Hirundo> I reported the first post, with the message that I requested splitting
21:47:41 <Samu> the gender only applies for industry
21:47:49 <Samu> is it correct the way I did?
21:47:51 <andythenorth> maybe I should invade DB set with some random complaints about its FIRS incompatibility
21:48:11 <Devedse> Planetmaker, so why isn't there actually something used as an array to be able to put multiple goodies in 1 vehicle?
21:48:29 <Hirundo> you should not do any further FIRS releases, just drop random comments about it and occasionally show screenshots
21:48:31 <andythenorth> Devedse: not how it works :P
21:48:49 * Devedse is currently running windows 7 setup from the windows vista recovery disk, now i got 2 setup windows lol
21:48:50 <planetmaker> nah, andythenorth. Niveau is not a cream
21:49:01 <andythenorth> Hirundo: more importantly, compare all other works to the brilliance of my unreleased set
21:49:11 * andythenorth is done defending mb, he was rude
21:49:19 <planetmaker> Devedse: because it isn't. One vehicle, one cargo. Simple
21:49:37 <planetmaker> it's a 16 year old game after all
21:49:56 <frosch123> btw. was there a result in that topic?
21:49:57 <planetmaker> and the newgrf specs are like 6? 8? years old or so
21:50:11 <planetmaker> frosch123: the result is: Hirundo is of course all wrong.
21:50:18 <andythenorth> frosch123: there was a result that I am slightly cross :P
21:50:26 <planetmaker> There can only be one interpretation of the specs
21:50:26 <Devedse> planetmaker, did you actually use the code from the old ttd or is it a complete remake after the same idea?
21:50:39 <frosch123> i read that hirundo documented some different behaviour of ottd and ttdp
21:51:02 <Hirundo> Around 4 years ago, peter changed the code to call CB 10 more often but didn't document that in the specs
21:51:26 <frosch123> so, would dbset work acording to the specification for ttdp, or does ttdp not match the specs either?
21:51:28 <Devedse> planetmaker, so that doesn't actually make it 16 years old right?
21:51:48 <Hirundo> I have no clue whether TTDP lives up to the specs exactly
21:51:51 <planetmaker> OpenTTD: not. TTD: yes. And all the specifiaction yes.
21:52:09 <planetmaker> The basic assumptions and behaviour are copied 97.5%
21:52:10 <Hirundo> Recently, I changed OTTD to match the specs more closely, that caused breakage in the dbset
21:52:29 <Hirundo> s/changed/submitted patches to change/
21:52:57 <Devedse> I can remember me playing the old ttd :>
21:53:04 <andythenorth> if we call cb10 even more frequently, and put extra info in the cb result, will that break db set further :P
21:53:32 <frosch123> "it only applies for train wagons that would by default be powered (i.e. property 1B is set)" <- that sentence confuses me. does ottd not do that?
21:53:33 <Hirundo> basically the DBSet was sortof broken for 4 year, but it didn't trigger for the DBSet because of other issues
21:53:49 <frosch123> here you made it sound as if it was only about when the cb is called
21:53:52 <DorpsGek> Hirundo: Commit by peter1138 :: r5061 trunk/train_cmd.c (2006-05-31 18:00:08 UTC)
21:53:53 <DorpsGek> Hirundo: - NewGRF: always use visual effect callback if it is defined, not just for powered wagons.
21:54:04 <planetmaker> frosch123: it's a matter how you read it. Whether you read it "and nothing else matters" or "this is one precondition"
21:54:10 <DorpsGek> Devedse: Commit by truelight :: r1 / (202 files in 13 dirs) (2004-08-09 17:04:08 UTC)
21:54:11 <DorpsGek> Devedse: Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN
21:54:27 <Hirundo> ^^ OpenTTD doesn't do that since then
21:54:34 <Samu> G 0 what does the 0 means in this case?
21:54:57 <frosch123> so, peter broke it?
21:55:18 <Samu> {string} {industry} {comma}
21:55:27 <Hirundo> he, like me, assumed that grf authors code sanely
21:55:44 <planetmaker> frosch123: in principle yes. But the specs IMOH can also be interpreted that OpenTTD fulfills them.
21:55:48 <Devedse> In what language are the newgrf files written actually?
21:55:48 <Samu> ok, then I got some stuff to fix
21:55:49 <planetmaker> It's a matter of semantics
21:55:50 <frosch123> Hirundo: i would rather expect that someone like pikka asked peter to change it
21:56:38 <Hirundo> frosch123: That'd make sense
21:56:51 * Devedse is scared of hexadecimal assembly code >:O
21:56:55 <planetmaker> Samu: take your IRC backlog from yesterday. You were told back then. you asked the same thing
21:57:12 * andythenorth wants to encode nfo by drawing
21:57:13 * Zuu suggest that Devedse takes a look on nml
21:57:21 <Devedse> JMP EA0E839A EABFF291 <--- scary
21:57:23 <glx> Samu: second arg of the first arg
21:57:25 <andythenorth> a bitmap could encode hex nicely
21:57:36 <SmatZ> Devedse: looks like far jump
21:57:40 <frosch123> Hirundo: actually i read peters change as "also call it for engines"
21:57:52 <Devedse> the only jumps I like are the ones in platformers
21:57:58 <frosch123> which actually surprises me, if ttdp does not allow changing the effect for engines :s
21:58:06 * andythenorth wonders if photoshop would parse nfo
21:58:41 <Devedse> planetmaker, that looks readable AND a lot of work :>
21:58:55 <Belugas> a car can be frigthening to a pygme, simply becasue he does not know what it is. Once you know whta it is, it';s not
21:58:56 <planetmaker> he. Yeah. Wrote that :-P
21:59:04 <Hirundo> peter's commit calls the CB for everything but articulated parts
21:59:08 <Belugas> thus, it's ignorance that one fears
22:00:07 <planetmaker> Devedse: but simple things are quite simple.
22:00:23 <planetmaker> What you see there is basically a re-implmentation of all default train vehicles
22:01:09 <planetmaker> so a single engine is much easier
22:01:39 * andythenorth wonders if there are any common image formats that are just encoded as a stream of bytes, 1 per pixel
22:02:07 <planetmaker> You just need to throw in the graphics file which is mentioned in its source additionally
22:03:22 * andythenorth is amused by watching HEQS download numbers increase :)
22:03:47 <andythenorth> bananas changelog field?
22:03:48 <Devedse> planetmaker, I don't know if I really wanna spent a lot of time on it :P, I got some other games to create to ^^.
22:03:56 <planetmaker> the nice thing about HEQS is: it always fits, andythenorth ;-)
22:05:05 * fjb loves the cargo trams from HEQS.
22:05:18 <andythenorth> bananas src used to be in my repo
22:05:23 <andythenorth> I have mislaid it
22:06:44 * andythenorth wonders if anyone could be persuaded to commit a change to this: description = models.CharField(max_length = 512, blank = True, verbose_name = "Description")
22:06:59 <frosch123> Hirundo: according to ttdp source, 00..0F count as 40 for wagons
22:07:09 <frosch123> // for wagons, 00..0F counts as 40 (no effect) here
22:07:11 <andythenorth> max_length = 768 might be better
22:07:19 <Hirundo> frosch123: file/line?
22:11:22 <frosch123> is there any benefit in the new ottd behaviour?
22:11:57 <frosch123> if ttdp and ottd 1.0 agree on an behaviour, imo the specs should be fixed and we should not invent some new behaviour, unless there is a good reasoni
22:12:07 <andythenorth> fjb: one thing about trams is - no smoke. So uncontroversial :D
22:12:18 * fjb needs to learn more about gdb. :(
22:12:37 <andythenorth> trams *should* have sparks though :o
22:12:45 * andythenorth sense HEQS 0.9.6 soon
22:12:46 <planetmaker> frosch123: the pro of as now is that it's much cleaner.
22:13:35 <fjb> How do I halt a running target to debug it using gdb?
22:13:36 <Terkhen> andythenorth: HEQS breaks my partial refit patch :(
22:13:55 <andythenorth> or vice versa :P
22:13:57 <planetmaker> fjb: stop or quit
22:14:22 <andythenorth> Terkhen: simply add rv-wagons and the problem goes away
22:14:25 <Terkhen> but frosch is right, so it does not matter much
22:15:03 <Hirundo> frosch123: the reason for the current behaviour is that 0 .. 0F is explicitly defined as 'use effect from prop19'
22:16:16 <frosch123> ttdp and ottd 1.0 use "prop19 is always no effect for unpowered wagons" , right?
22:16:32 <fjb> It did not stop. Do I have to prefix the stop command?
22:17:01 <frosch123> wasn't there also something like "powered wagons" take only effect if there is a livery override, or something like that?
22:17:51 <planetmaker> fjb: is it running right now? Then try first ctrl+c
22:18:00 <frosch123> so, the visual effect would also only take effect if there is a livery override
22:18:04 <planetmaker> then you'll get the gdb console again
22:18:22 <Devedse> Anyone tried the luukland servers before?
22:18:38 <fjb> planetmaker: Remote embedded device connected via jtag and openobdc...
22:19:13 <planetmaker> which implies...?
22:20:01 <Hirundo> so something like if(!v->IsEngine() && v->GetPoweredPartPower() == 0) then no effect?
22:20:52 <fjb> planetmaker: Thank you. I will try it.
22:21:20 <planetmaker> the stop and quit while there's no console won't help you though and have no effect...
22:21:40 <andythenorth> ha ha, trams with sparks :D
22:22:15 *** _Terkhen_ has joined #openttd
22:30:10 <Hirundo> frosch123: should powered wagons (with livery override) use the engine class of the front engine?
22:38:39 <fjb> planetmaker: The command needed was: monitor halt
22:39:13 <planetmaker> interesting. thanks
22:40:09 *** Prof_Frink has joined #openttd
22:40:22 <frosch123> Hirundo: sounds plausible, no idea though
22:41:15 <frosch123> i remember that the power computation uses the type of the frontengine to decide whether a powered wagon is powered on the current railtype
22:42:39 <frosch123> i will likely be only shortly here tomorrow, and then sunday again :)
22:49:23 <Devedse> planetmaker, did you really create the planet?
22:49:41 <Devedse> And I always thought it was god :'(
22:51:02 <Zuu> be kind to planetmaker or you never know what happens to earth ;-)
22:51:32 <Samu> can you please verify my new entries to webtranslator?
22:51:37 <planetmaker> Especially as I come from a country whom is said of that people like highways here ;-)
22:51:48 <Samu> I won't be able to download a trunk that early
22:53:29 <Devedse> planetmaker, would that be germany :o?
22:53:54 <Zuu> But now we seem to get colder winders due to global warming. :-)
22:54:13 <planetmaker> I saw the first snow flakes of this winter here today
22:54:26 <Devedse> YEA BUT YEA THERZ EXPLNAZION FOR TAT ITS LIEK WARM THERE SO COLD THERE AND GLOBAL WARMIN IS NO BULLSHIT
22:54:52 <Zuu> Did I claim that global warming is bullshit?
22:55:02 <Zuu> If I did, I'm sorry if you mistaken me.
22:55:52 <Devedse> But yea I saw hail here yesterday
22:55:58 <Devedse> Only in my town though
22:56:18 <Zuu> Btw, driving an etanol car in the winter is interesting. It really does start badly when the engine is cold. :-)
22:57:48 <Devedse> lol after installing the ati drives on a computer the screen is totally messed up
22:57:56 <Zuu> When it gets warm it is just as usual. So after you have parked it and want to go again you have forgoten that you need to push extra hard on the gas pedal no not make it die. :-)
22:58:21 <Eddi|zuHause> <planetmaker> I saw the first snow flakes of this winter here today <-- strange, we had snow here already yesterday
23:01:50 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: maybe I missed them yesterday. It's not like I'm looking out of the window the whole day ;-)
23:02:39 <Samu> what happens if I ruined something in the translation? Can I revert to a previous version?
23:03:05 <SmatZ> good night planetmaker, too :)

23:22:56 *** AveiMil has joined #openttd
23:23:04 <AveiMil> item(FEAT_AIRCRAFT, SampsonU52, 0) { property { cost_factor: 7*param[50]/100; running_cost_factor: 3*param[55]/100/param[59]; speed: 31 nfo; vehicle_life: 16; model_life: 16; retire_early: 0; } }
23:23:12 <AveiMil> I startup a game in 1928 (intro date of Sampson)
23:23:29 <AveiMil> Fast forward to 1945, expecting the Sampson not to be available for purcahse anymore
23:23:41 <AveiMil> am I mistaken in how this works?
23:25:11 <Wolf01> AveiMil, persistent engines setting?
23:25:36 <AveiMil> i turned off veihcles never expire if that's what you mean
23:27:40 <Yexo> The number of years that this model can be bought in the game (if PersistentEngines is off). Usually this should be at least twice or three times as long as the vehicle life. When starting a new game, a random amount between 31 months and 17 years is added to this as well.
23:28:28 <AveiMil> seems it dissapeard in 1949 in this game
23:29:29 <Xaroth> 31 months and 17 years?!?
23:29:32 <Xaroth> that's a bit steep innit
23:29:47 <Xaroth> getting yer last electric train when you get maglev :P
23:30:17 <AveiMil> not quite I understand the purpose of retire_early
23:30:41 <Yexo> there are 3 phases for every vehicle model. phase 1 is between 7 and 38 months (randomly)
23:30:47 <AveiMil> " Number of years before model_life when no new vehicles can be bought. May be negative."
23:31:10 <AveiMil> That speaks to me that if model life is 16 and you set 14 retire early value, you can build the aircraft for 2 years after its introduction date
23:31:16 <Yexo> phase 2 is the amount of years set with the model_life property - 8 years + a random number of months between 0 and 15
23:32:09 <Yexo> phase 3 is between 10 and 20.5 years (randomly)
23:33:45 <AveiMil> so I don't have any direct control over this
23:34:45 <Yexo> if you use early retirement it'll be unavailable after: phase1+phase2 - retire_early (in years, so *12)
23:35:04 <AveiMil> vehicle_life: 16; model_life: 16; retire_early: 10;
23:35:11 <AveiMil> I do that and load up a game in 1928
23:35:23 <AveiMil> I can't even build an airplane then because Sampson ain't available
23:35:48 <AveiMil> how is that possible?
23:35:57 <Yexo> small airport should be available though
23:36:12 <AveiMil> oh right phase2 is model life minus 8
23:36:20 <AveiMil> what's iwth the minus8!?!
23:36:38 <Yexo> don't wonder about it, just accept it
23:36:48 <Yexo> there are lots of random surprises like that
23:37:03 <AveiMil> so about 1+16-8-retire_early
23:37:23 <AveiMil> and 9 minus 10 is minus 1
23:37:31 <AveiMil> thus youcannot build a sampson in 1928
23:38:05 <Yexo> or in other words: you can never buy it
23:38:20 <Yexo> and the small airport is only available when at least one aircraft is available (you can change that too)
23:48:44 <Katje_> is there an easy way to see all shared routes?
23:52:44 <avdg> but you can see the vehicles in a shared orders group
23:53:44 <avdg> the only 'clean' way to organise stuff is using the groups in the vehicles window
23:54:50 <Katje_> when you forget to start it that way, and you have 110 trains to deal with....
23:55:27 <avdg> yes, thats a known problem
23:55:45 <avdg> and happens a lot in games I play
23:55:45 <Katje_> would be so handy if you could create a route, with zero trains on it
23:55:50 <Katje_> then ssign trains to each route
23:56:51 <avdg> there are plans to improve the organisation of routing, through I don't know how many stable patches are available
23:57:56 <Katje_> hmm, I need a nice junction design for 2 tracks joining 4 tracks...
23:58:16 <Katje_> also, is there a nice way to automatically renew all my stock? the "this train is really old" messages are pissing me off..
23:58:29 <Katje_> and with 2 billion in the bank, I would rather just auto renew it all
23:58:57 <avdg> check the advanced settings under section vehicles iirc
23:59:11 <Katje_> not something I can do within the game?
continue to next day ⏵
