08:18:28 <Rubidium> sorry, last time I saw anyone he was playing on #openttdcoop's public server
08:18:41 <zgrillo2004> I have a question
08:18:53 <zgrillo2004> this screenshot shows buildings I have not seen
08:19:24 <Rubidium> looks like the total town replacement NewGRF
08:19:48 <zgrillo2004> do you know where can I find this?
08:20:07 <Rubidium> probably via the in-game content downloader
08:25:18 *** zgrillo2004 has joined #openttd
08:40:57 <kamnet> You know what would be nice? If tt-forums or openttd.org offered a shortcut URL service to link to posts in the forums.
08:41:40 <kamnet> Or, alternate idea - would it be okay to open a wiki page for my Scott Joplin Anthology set?

09:18:22 <kamnet> OK this is crazy, I just added my set to bananas, it shows up, I download, it now disappears
09:19:25 <Rubidium> then you've got the same "version" with another md5 checksum already locally
09:21:09 <kamnet> Hrm... well it's not in the gm directory
09:21:32 <kamnet> of either data/ or content_download/
09:23:19 <Rubidium> No music file for: old_9 (in /home/rubidium/.openttd/content_download/gm/scott_joplin_anthology-2/scott_joplin.obm)
09:23:30 <Rubidium> it's basically missing a file and therefor not showing up
09:23:40 <kamnet> okay I know what I did
09:23:53 <kamnet> people complained about the entertaining being in there twice so I eliminated one.
09:30:24 <kamnet> Grrr... now BaNaNas says I can't upload because there's a file with the exact same footprint
09:38:37 <kamnet> Updated to 2.0.1, downloaded again... still not showing up.
09:39:22 <Rubidium> No music file for: ezy_9 (in /home/rubidium/.openttd/content_download/gm/scott_joplin_anthology-2.0.1/scott_joplin.obm)
09:39:47 <kamnet> OK so it has to have the listing for all the slots there, even if there's no music
09:43:18 <kamnet> OK now how do I get around this same footprint business?
09:44:14 <Rubidium> the md5 checksum of all midi files is used as unique ID for the set, which is that footprint stuff
09:44:53 <Rubidium> so change one of the midis?
09:44:57 <kamnet> So how do you update a package with, say, a new license?
09:45:44 <Rubidium> as for OpenTTD (the binary) both versions would be seen as the same in any case
09:46:10 <kamnet> and apparently you cannot upload a correction in the obm files either
09:46:29 <Rubidium> that's a side effect
09:46:52 <Rubidium> though... people that have the "broken
09:46:55 <kamnet> and no way to delete a package off of bananas once it's been uploaded
09:47:17 <Rubidium> people that have the "broken" obm won't be downloading the new obm because the footprint didn't change
09:48:47 <Rubidium> yes, it may seem like a stupid design decision
09:49:43 <Rubidium> but... it solves a lot of hassle as comparing the ob? file doesn't work quite as well when it has differing newlines
09:50:45 <Rubidium> well... or I could mess with the database with the possibility to completely break SJA
09:50:49 <kamnet> Nah, it's not stupid... just slightly unyielding to a few issues.
09:52:02 <kamnet> if you mess with it and break it, can you roll the database back?
09:53:49 <kamnet> try to upload my new file or download from bananas?
09:54:07 <Rubidium> as downloading SJA won't work anymore
09:58:51 <kamnet> Eureka! Thank you kindly
10:02:35 <kamnet> I am now tired and retired.
10:02:48 <kamnet> I have to be up in 8 hours for work.

11:43:33 <planetmaker> sunny, about 3°C and clear
11:43:38 <planetmaker> so... not bad :-)
11:44:37 <Eddi|zuHause> isn't "over there" like in spitting distance? :p
11:44:45 <Wolf01> foggy and rainy, about 10C

12:10:41 <planetmaker> or rather not the fried(ly) ones :-P
12:14:12 <Ammler> nightly download broken?
12:16:25 <Wolf01> mmmh the date functions make extensively use of global variables
12:18:36 <roboboy> Wolf01, I would drop the ly in extensively when used in that context
12:19:20 <Wolf01> yes, I noticed it when I already sent the line
12:19:49 <Ammler> I though, the mirror software does test the mirror and no redirect to broken mirror?
12:21:38 <Ammler> also is it possible, because the us mirror is broken, it got less traffic and therefor more redirects?
12:21:57 <Rubidium> Ammler: the Dutch mirror is broken and out of rotation
12:21:58 <Ammler> and so the chance that europeans got redirected there is higher?
12:23:08 <Rubidium> oh, so it's up but mirroring to it failed for some reason
12:23:19 <Rubidium> that's something else than that the mirror is down
12:24:00 <Ammler> never said, it is down :-)
12:24:10 <Rubidium> broken kinda implies it doesn't work at all

16:08:00 * peter1138 still gives up on a* :s
16:09:22 <peter1138> i'd copy openttd's, but i'd kinda like to understand it :S
16:13:30 <SmatZ> you have open nodes ordered by cost function, f(x)=g(x)+h(x), where g(x) is cost to get to node 'x' from start, and h(x) is the expected price (heuristics) to get from 'x' to end
16:13:44 <SmatZ> h(x) must be <= the actual cost to get from 'x' to end
16:13:59 <SmatZ> you always examine the node with lowest f(x)
16:15:03 <SmatZ> compute f(y) for nodes reachable from x, and update 'y' if the new cost (from 'x') is lower than currently computed f(y)
16:15:22 <SmatZ> or something like that :)

17:25:19 * ZirconiumX has no idea who hello is, nor what Eddi|zuHause has just said
17:28:03 <deepa> Clearly you should Google it
17:28:53 <ZirconiumX> I know *what* hello kitty is, but not *why* he/she has said it
17:34:08 <deepa> You said Hello Transport
17:34:36 *** Prof_Frink has joined #openttd
17:37:24 <frosch123> there is no Goodbye Transport though
17:38:06 <ZirconiumX> frosch123: Just as well really, imagine how dull it would be
17:49:28 * LordAro wonders what everyone is going on about...
17:49:33 <Zuu> Oh, it looks like my OTTDAU log issues is related to that it thinks current nightlies are stable versions and not the actual log format.
17:50:50 <Zuu> No idea really why though as the version-format doesn't look like it has changed.

18:24:21 <peter1138> oh, well, that's bloody embarassing :s
18:24:27 <peter1138> i got astar to work
18:24:43 <peter1138> but i was testing, and it couldn't get from 0,0 to 2,2
18:24:51 <peter1138> spent ages on it :(
18:24:59 <peter1138> turns out that 2,2 is a solid block :S
18:35:49 <peter1138> cool, it even works on my complex terrain
18:39:35 <peter1138> can take a while though, heh
18:40:44 * ZirconiumX wishes to know how he got it to work, to help me make SPF
18:41:14 <peter1138> just looking at the numbers, i can see the path wiggles around a bit :D
18:41:46 <ZirconiumX> I'm writing a PF for AroAI
18:42:02 <peter1138> well... it's "just" astar, as they say :S
18:42:35 <ZirconiumX> look at the list at the side, it might help
18:43:08 <peter1138> i'll see how efficient it is
18:43:56 <ZirconiumX> D* might help, as it doesn't goo for a fixed value

18:49:51 * ZirconiumX is rubbish at noughts and crosses
19:03:29 * LordAro wonders whether anyone knows of a portable 'make' program...
19:04:09 <ZirconiumX> why, what do you need it for
19:04:19 <ZirconiumX> I can see if I can do it for you
19:04:37 <ZirconiumX> if it works on windows

20:11:17 <V453000> how many frames per second does openttd have?
20:17:52 <dihedral> if a day lasts ~2.4s and has 74frames :-)
20:32:45 *** DayDreamer has joined #openttd
20:42:39 <dihedral> general programming question: say i have a bot, it can handle commands (e.g. @seen), it can be extended with plugins, plugins can introduce another connection to e.g. IRC or XMPP or any other place where a user can enter a command (in this case @seen)
20:43:19 <dihedral> each of these sources for commands provide different information: IRC provides a channel, nick, host, user
20:43:54 <dihedral> OpenTTD for example only available data is ip, username, user id
20:44:11 <dihedral> how would i decently build a template out of that :-P
20:44:35 <dihedral> have a separate class for users only used in the context of executing commands?
20:44:57 <planetmaker> not everything can be templated and generalized ;-)
20:46:33 <planetmaker> but a UI class would seem to make sense
20:47:51 <blathijs> dihedral: What do you want to template exactly?
20:49:02 <dihedral> i want to be able to define a command without knowing from where it's called
20:49:18 <dihedral> 'from where' defines things like irc, xmpp, openttd
20:49:22 <blathijs> dihedral: But what does the template render to? The reply to give, or?
20:49:53 <dihedral> how to get hold of information about the user who executed the command
20:49:55 <DorpsGek> dihedral: seen [<channel>] <nick>
20:50:13 <dihedral> DorpsGek got hold of 'dihedral'
20:50:21 <dihedral> further information is bound to that nick
20:50:40 <dihedral> for xmpp and openttd this information is different
20:50:53 <dihedral> i want to generalize how to get hold of that information, yet i do not know exactly how
20:51:12 <dihedral> further, the process of sending a public / private message back to the user :-P
20:51:34 <dihedral> needs to be generalized a bit too, as the command itself is probably not familiar with the exact process for each source
20:51:55 <dihedral> e.g. for OpenTTD i send either a message or a user / company id + a message.
20:52:11 <dihedral> for IRC it's channel name and message for a public message, etc etc
20:53:02 <blathijs> dihedral: Perhaps you could take the context from the original message?
20:54:29 <blathijs> e.g., message.reply("Some witty reply") gets routed to the right channel and prefixed with the nickname on IRC, or gets tagged with the company id on OpenTTD, etc.
20:56:57 <planetmaker> then define a generic 'responder' class. With methods to talk to and to get information from as virtual
20:57:04 <DJNekkid> are there any known bugs if a rail translation table is larger then 15 entries?
20:57:28 <planetmaker> they'd be in known_bugs.txt ;-)
20:57:55 <planetmaker> but you could also simply ask your question :-P
21:05:55 *** SpComb^_ has joined #openttd
21:14:09 <DJNekkid> what about when an engine have defined a tracktype that is not defined by a railtype, then it would simply be ignored, right?
21:19:14 <dihedral> i'll do more thinking about it :-S
21:20:53 *** zaratustra has joined #openttd
21:21:55 <snorre> beta3 crash: Signal: Aborted (6), Message: Assertion failed at line 1493 of /usr/src/OpenTTD/compile/src/tunnelbridge_cmd.cpp: GetTunnelBridgeTransportType(tile) != TRANSPORT_RAIL.. known problem?
21:22:14 * dihedral is glad it's not his code :-P
21:22:50 <planetmaker> can you make a bug report about that please, snorre ?
21:22:53 <snorre> ok Im filing a bugreport
21:27:01 <planetmaker> got a crash.png as well?
21:27:44 <snorre> sorry. dedicated server
21:28:00 *** SpComb^_ is now known as SpComb
21:30:00 <planetmaker> oh, missed that. when is the autosave supposed to crash?
21:32:22 <dihedral> regarding the landscaping / clearing limit
21:32:53 <dihedral> it is not possible to define a low burst and allow a company to gain a greater than burst limit
21:32:56 * planetmaker wonders wonders whether that's related to the (possible) bancruptcy occuring maybe then...
21:33:18 <dihedral> which could be interesting
21:33:34 <dihedral> i.e. allow a company to landscape like 100 tiles but only in 20 tile blocks at a time
21:33:48 <dihedral> this would though have to introduce yet another config setting
21:34:15 <Terkhen> planetmaker: if that is the case, then it is probably something done while removing company property after bankruptcy
21:35:02 * planetmaker suspects, so. But will get a bt first
21:35:21 <Ammler> dihedral: a working solution is also simply disallow area-tf
21:35:45 <dihedral> setting the burst to 1? :-P
21:36:26 <Ammler> the bad guys are too lazy for clicking 100 times :-)
21:37:02 <dihedral> ah wait ... never mind :-)
21:37:49 <Ammler> now make that with a nicer error msg and you are done :-)
21:38:02 <dihedral> we already have a limiting factor Ammler :-)
21:38:59 <DorpsGek> dihedral: 885.621621622
21:39:03 <Ammler> I assume, much complicater that that :-P
21:39:36 <dihedral> so you need burst * 885 to result in burst being added every day if possible? was that correct?
21:42:32 <planetmaker> hmpf. the backtrack could not be more meaningless
21:43:36 <Rubidium> V453000: a tick, when not fast forwarding and having enough CPU power, takes 30ms. Thus a day is 2.22s and there are 33.|3| ticks in a second
21:43:51 <dihedral> planetmaker, if you are right, assuming it be bankruptcy issues, i could only assume the tunnel being removed before the train inside it
21:44:37 <SmatZ> dihedral: I doubt vehicles are removed AFTER properties
21:44:43 <SmatZ> it would have been found long time ago
21:45:29 <dihedral> if a company got removed due to bankruptcy in a beta / rc / nightly
21:45:32 <Terkhen> it must be something introduced recently
21:45:42 <planetmaker> might also not be true. It's only the 2nd quarter I'm asked for that company
21:46:02 <Terkhen> as IIRC we got a bankruptcy related bug report a few months ago
21:46:09 <planetmaker> But it's time not for a nice 8-our hibernation mode, commonly called sleep ;-)
21:46:23 <Terkhen> good night planetmaker
21:46:33 <SmatZ> good night planetmaker :)
21:47:00 <planetmaker> s/not/now/ of course ;-)
21:48:15 <George> Hi. is it possible that one tile is town zone 3, and the nearby tile is zone 1?
21:48:22 <SmatZ> good thing is that it's perfectly reproducible from the last autosave
21:48:28 <SmatZ> wish all bugreports were like that one :)
21:48:40 <SmatZ> George: iirc yes, for big towns, there is no zone 2
21:49:47 <SmatZ> it was probably that way in TTD
21:51:22 <George> Is there any information about it somewhere? I have to change available town zones checks then
21:52:08 <SmatZ> dihedral: ok, there is a train over that bridge :)
21:52:11 <George> I mean Building availability mask (13) for action 0 for houses
21:53:31 <SmatZ> but the vehicle should be already removed
21:54:24 <dihedral> SmatZ, should? or is!
21:54:35 <SmatZ> dihedral: it is removed
21:54:45 <SmatZ> but still CmdLandscapeClear fails
21:54:47 <dihedral> well, something is left over :-P
21:54:58 <SmatZ> and rb has patch already :)
21:55:12 <dihedral> this is insanity :-P
21:55:15 <dihedral> Rubidium, you are too quick
21:55:16 <SmatZ> nope, just broken CmdLandscapeClear

22:00:03 <LordAro> dihedral: wait. how did you know Rubidium had fixed it 3 minutes before he committed?
22:00:25 <Rubidium> LordAro: the magic of literacy
22:01:35 <dihedral> LordAro, to be honest i did not see he had committed it until now :-D
22:01:59 <dihedral> but that is an amusing bug :-)
22:02:24 <LordAro> still not really getting how.. a pm? there's nothing in the bug report or here... ?
22:06:10 <LordAro> ok then, how did SmatZ know? :p
22:06:43 <dihedral> assume there to be something like a developers heaven for the official dev team ;-)
22:07:10 <dihedral> if you aint on the official dev team, you aint welcome in their heaven either :-P
22:07:40 * LordAro likes that idea... :D
22:07:42 <dihedral> even if you know how to technically get to that heaven
22:09:14 <dihedral> some means for them to communicate as a team without the public jibber jabber all over the place ;-)

22:11:41 <dihedral> that's not it, but you are welcome to join the notice channel ;-)
22:12:12 <dihedral> consider notice to be a 'prophecy' channel with regards to the CIA messages in here :-P
22:12:23 <SmatZ> secret channels are not visible in the /whois list
