07:29:35 * andythenorth is sad that providing service to towns destroys them
07:31:10 <andythenorth> increases the chance of rebuilding existing houses
07:31:54 <andythenorth> large buildings are typically rebuilt to smaller, or parks
07:32:07 <andythenorth> my 2,400 pop. city is now 1,400

09:19:47 <andythenorth> if a ship has 2.5 crew (for running cost purposes)....who's the 0.5?
09:24:43 <planetmaker> the unborn child of the captain's wife
09:27:48 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
09:54:47 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
10:14:21 <andythenorth> I'm completely stumped
10:14:41 <andythenorth> there's only one place in nfo where I can say 'hide all the vehicles' and that's by setting climate 00 for each one
10:15:00 <andythenorth> I don't see how it could possibly be a HEQS-specific bug
10:17:15 *** TheMask96 has joined #openttd

10:27:55 <peter1139> i'm plays with YACD, TAI and FIRS
10:28:06 <peter1139> not many passengers with TAI :p
10:28:29 <andythenorth> you should get some more acronyms
10:30:48 *** peter1139 is now known as peter1138
10:31:07 <andythenorth> I will sell you acronyms for 1 dollar
10:33:18 <peter1138> aw crap, my vehicles are driving on the right :(
10:33:24 <peter1138> forgot to change that setting :(
10:33:57 <peter1138> hmm, can i change it if i send all RVs to depots?
10:34:17 <planetmaker> not afaik. zero vehicles required
10:34:39 <peter1138> planetmaker, implement it!
10:34:53 <peter1138> NewRoadVehicleSide!
10:35:34 <planetmaker> Driving right is right :-P
10:40:39 <andythenorth> THAT WILL BE ONE DOLLAR PLEASE

11:01:24 <Eddi|zuHause> acronym is too close to NARVS
11:02:02 <andythenorth> if you can make vehicles flip sides, you can probably solve the over-taking problem
11:02:59 <Eddi|zuHause> there are many overtaking problems... it's basically a state machine like airports

12:45:08 <KopjeKoffie> does someone know how to compile openttd in windows?
12:45:21 <blathijs> KopjeKoffie: Did you try the wiki?
12:45:42 <blathijs> I'm pretty sure this is documented somewhere, either on the wiki or in a README file (or something similar) in the sources
12:46:50 <KopjeKoffie> but i have never word with Visual studio 2010
12:49:00 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
12:49:18 * andythenorth points and waves
12:49:29 <KopjeKoffie> thanks Eddi|zuHause, i will read that
12:49:36 <andythenorth> adjusting the units for engineering supplies might really be a good idea
12:49:39 <KopjeKoffie> word --> worked, sorry

13:41:30 <delexi> Is there anyone here who has experience with the openttd port for NDS ?
13:42:23 <delexi> I am looking for an explanation on how to use the nds port with an emulator like NO§GBA
13:42:58 <delexi> anyone there who could give me some help with that?
13:43:01 <Ammler> delexi: there are wiki pages and forums threads about, did you check those?
13:43:02 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v glx_
13:47:37 <delexi> i found the wiki side of the nds port, but all instructions listed there apply to the use of a Card with the Nintendo DS. I followed those instructions as i thought they maybe would work for me too, but they didn't. I always get following error msg: "[Error:]Couldn't open config file. Please copy openttd.cfg to the root directory.""
13:49:00 <planetmaker> did you try to follow that error message?
13:50:14 <delexi> well, the openttd.cfg file is in the same directory as the openttd.nds
13:50:25 <delexi> as i considered that to be the root directory
13:50:57 <peter1138> damn, i made a loss :(
13:51:13 <peter1138> would've been a profit, without the loan interest :S
13:51:36 <Juo> im so glad openttd is being built for OS X again :D
13:51:54 <planetmaker> delexi: I'd consider the dir where openttd binary is created the root dir
13:54:03 <delexi> what do you mean with "openttd binaries" ? When do i have to create binaries when i want to play openttd on the NDS? I thought my rom (openttd.nds) are my binaries.
13:54:42 <planetmaker> I mean whatever is the equivalent of openttd.exe or openttd
13:55:18 <planetmaker> from my brief look at some of these ports I seem to recall that insided these files like nds there are the dirs of the bundle
13:55:25 <planetmaker> but I don't really know them
13:56:18 <planetmaker> you might consider also changing the config path to something which is writable
13:56:26 <planetmaker> Usually OpenTTD creates a config file upon startup
13:57:12 <delexi> well after extracting the zip i had the a directory with following content: data/ openttd.nds openttd.cfg
13:58:23 <delexi> the openttd dir is on my Desktop, so this should be writable i think
13:58:57 <planetmaker> ./configure --personal-dir=<dir>
13:59:22 <planetmaker> are you sure your desktop is writable and the proper path for your emulator?
14:00:02 <planetmaker> anyway, I've never even tried to compile for a console or phone device. So...
14:02:12 <delexi> well i started the emulation with administrator privileges and it still cant find the config file, so i guess it has nothing to do with write access.
14:02:27 <delexi> btw i'm on a win7 machine
14:02:50 <delexi> so i guess "./configure --personal-dir=<dir>" wont work, will it?
14:04:45 <peter1138> hmm, i suppose i could cheat by making large catchment areas
14:04:52 *** Dreamxtreme has joined #openttd
14:06:56 <planetmaker> delexi: the question is rather "what is the root dir for an nds device / file"
14:07:01 <planetmaker> you'll have to figure out that
14:08:20 <planetmaker> and configuring with a different than default personal dir might circumvent that problem. Maybe not
14:11:23 <delexi> how do i change my personal dir?
14:14:40 <Eddi|zuHause> man... i need a proper timetable-and-separation gui... !!!
14:15:21 <Eddi|zuHause> manually setting timetables and start dates for each vehicle (in the right order!) is a pain, when you have 15 trams on one line...
14:49:27 <Eddi|zuHause> *mental note* don't use "light blue" as colour for ships :p
14:56:54 *** DayDreamer has joined #openttd
15:03:11 * Rubidium agrees on the timetable thingy
15:07:40 <Hirundo> Did you setup all the correct libraries and did you add them to the MSVC search path?
15:10:23 <KopjeKoffie> of course, but i will check it again
15:13:48 <Hirundo> winmm.lib seems related to the music (midi) playback
15:15:40 *** Doorslammer has joined #openttd
15:15:41 <Eddi|zuHause> someone should take a look whether the warnings are real
15:16:29 <KopjeKoffie> ah, i have found the WIN32_ENABLE_DIRECTMUSIC_SUPPORT thing
15:16:59 <KopjeKoffie> I delete it, en now i am building openttd again
15:17:01 <Hirundo> it's a cargodist build, I guess those (cargopacket stuff) are not in trunk
15:17:47 <Eddi|zuHause> Hirundo: well, then "someone" is fonsinchen...
15:18:58 <KopjeKoffie> oke, and what does that mean?
15:19:15 <Eddi|zuHause> KopjeKoffie: nothing yet. don't worry ;)
15:21:02 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
15:26:31 <Hirundo> Eddi|zuHause: I posted them to the forum

16:35:06 <ZirconiumX> I have an ai - which has died and been sold to me
16:35:29 <ZirconiumX> the company square it had - is still red
16:36:43 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
16:38:44 <LordAro> a picture speaks better than words...
16:39:00 <Terkhen> or a bug report including screenshots and steps to reproduce :)
16:42:20 <planetmaker> or a same-coloured AI started anew ;-)
17:02:49 *** sla_ro|vista has joined #openttd
17:11:11 <ZirconiumX> Steps to reproduce
17:11:34 <ZirconiumX> create a 'basic' ai - that dies
17:11:59 <Terkhen> if you don't write a proper bug report at the tracker it will probably get forgotten
17:12:47 <ZirconiumX> the square on the ai debug panel should be red
17:13:03 <ZirconiumX> a faint red though
17:17:52 <planetmaker> and when you're at it, make it easy to reproduce, give us an AI which does what you want it to do in order to re-create the problem
17:29:03 <ZirconiumX> <info> The world's most *USELESS* AI has started

17:40:53 *** DanMacK has joined #openttd
17:48:29 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
17:50:20 <SmatZ> then I fixed it... at least I thought I did :)
17:54:28 <ZirconiumX> SmatZ: I don't consider that funny
17:55:06 <SmatZ> nobody can find that funny, imo
17:55:18 * ZirconiumX pushes the sad smily to his limits
18:18:09 <ZirconiumX> frosch123: no - but I can translate it to Gibberish - no wait- it already is Gibberish
18:22:43 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
18:24:59 *** Doorslammer has joined #openttd
18:29:32 <planetmaker> I also tried and failed
18:30:23 <Zuu> Can MSVC Express use crash.dmp?
18:32:09 <Eddi|zuHause> he's trying to double (read: building a second next to it) the industry, and it's costing 0, but nothing appears?
18:33:19 <ZirconiumX> That - I wouldn't call a bug
18:34:28 <Eddi|zuHause> Zuu: the build must have a .pdb file
18:35:20 <Zuu> Eddi|zuHause: I have both the project that built OpenTTD and the pdb file that was produced when building OpenTTD.
18:35:50 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't actually know any further than this :p
18:35:53 *** Intexon has joined #openttd
18:36:22 *** supermop has joined #openttd
18:37:42 <Zuu> I can double-click the .dmp file and it opens in MSVC and I can even hit "Run" and it will try to run the dmp file in some way.
18:39:05 <planetmaker> Zuu: you need the exact same version as the crash.dmp in order to get sensible output (just telling)
18:40:05 <Zuu> I do have the exact corresponding openttd.pdb file. :-)
18:40:32 <Zuu> Still I don't make sense of the express version or how to obtain the call stack.
18:41:48 <Belugas> Mmmh... that Digitals guy... quite interesting reading... makes me wnder which country he is from...
18:43:10 <planetmaker> he's not stupid, at least it seems so. But it remains to be seen how quickly he'll find his way around ;-)
18:45:23 <Rubidium> Zuu: express can do it, as glx used to be able to get traces with his express version
18:47:03 <Zuu> Ok, I guess I have to find the documentation of it.
18:47:14 <Rubidium> Zuu: try putting the crash.dmp, pdb and exe in the same directory (with nothing else)
18:47:32 <Rubidium> then open the crash.dmp and hit run. That should resolve the exe and pdb (I think)
18:47:43 *** supermop has joined #openttd
18:48:07 <Rubidium> although... if it's doing automatic symbol resolution it might take a *long* time the first time as it fetches a lot of data from Microsoft regarding the dlls that were loaded at the time
18:49:08 <Rubidium> and while doing that it's proud to say it's done/finished while it's downloading the next one or something
18:49:21 <Zuu> Hmm, I think I got it now.
18:49:22 <Rubidium> and long is something like 5 to 15 minutes
18:53:02 *** supermop has joined #openttd
18:55:57 <Belugas> no, he does not sounds like an idiot. but either his translation book is horrible, or he does not use one and he's not very good in english
19:02:57 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:09:32 <planetmaker> DanMacK: your thomas tank engine sprites are beautiful marvels :-)
19:09:59 *** Xaroth_ has joined #openttd
19:11:49 <DanMacK> Thank you :) Credit goes to Pikka for the bases, I just painted them :P
19:14:23 <planetmaker> but they're again without proper palette :-(
19:22:25 *** KopjeKoffie has joined #openttd
19:36:42 <michi_cc> Eddi|zuHause: I think I need your hacked up NewGRFs to debug your savegame, I only get lots of invalid cargo otherwise. And the catchment area sounds like a bug, there should be no change over trunk. Got a save/instructions to reproduce?
19:38:07 <DanMacK> You know what... Palette is really pissing me off
19:38:19 <DanMacK> I've NEVER had this much problem before
19:38:55 <Eddi|zuHause> michi_cc: was the same savegame, in Havelkirchen Fabrik i added a station tile in the middle of the milk-thingie in order for the cargo tram from Havelkirchen Mühle to pick up manufacturing supplies

19:59:26 <Eddi|zuHause> michi_cc: did the attachment arrive? it isn't displayed here

21:07:08 <Eddi|zuHause> man... every time i extend the tram system in one of my cities, my rail line capacity totally breaks down :p
21:15:21 <michi_cc> Eddi|zuHause: Somehow the cached next hop data in the cargo packets of the tram wasn't properly invalidated. When I simply add and remove an order or let a vehicle share orders, it is properly invalidated. So maybe it was either already (unknowingly) fixed or you did something special. Do you still remember what you did when you changed the orders?
21:15:53 <Eddi|zuHause> michi_cc: not really
21:15:54 *** TinoDid|znc has joined #openttd
21:16:44 <michi_cc> Well, with 1.1 simply adding a dummy order and then removing it again should fix your never-unloading vehicles.
21:18:34 *** TinoDid|znc is now known as TinoDidriksen
21:34:54 <Eddi|zuHause> well, i have solved it by placing an "unload and load" order at the end station
21:35:11 <Eddi|zuHause> that doesn't hurt ordinary operation
21:37:26 <michi_cc> Eddi|zuHause: I spoke too soon, there's actually a design bug in the next hop invalidation. A proper fix will have to wait for tomorrow though.
21:45:17 *** douknoukem has joined #openttd
