01:57:12 * Eddi|zuHause just had to "reboot" his tram system in one city...
01:57:52 <Eddi|zuHause> send all to depot, send one of each line to renew the timetable, then spread them out evenly by start date

09:04:07 <peter1138> so has anyone come up with 'real' tunnels/bridges yet? :p
09:04:14 * peter1138 could do with a subway system
09:04:19 <peter1138> or at least signals in tunnels
09:08:10 <ChoHag> Let me learn the code first!
09:08:44 <peter1138> i don't think that's enough ;)
09:11:18 <ChoHag> Right now I'm still at the stage of getting annoyed with C++.
09:12:22 <ChoHag> Why couldn't it have been written in something like perl or bash?
09:12:28 <ChoHag> Something I know like the back of my hand.
09:14:51 <planetmaker> bash's GUI is ill-suited for pixel lovers
09:15:40 <ChoHag> Nethack runs great though.
09:17:06 <peter1138> it would probably be a bit slow too
09:17:19 <ChoHag> Mere implementation details.
09:19:00 <ChoHag> If there are multiple stations, does cargo take station proximity into account when choosing where to start (and in yacd, end) a journey?
09:20:00 <ChoHag> ie. Will passengers choose the closest bus stop, or will they happily walk across town in order to get a bus back to their neighbour?
09:20:15 <peter1138> it just has to be in the catchment area
09:20:29 <peter1138> cargo will be distributed based on station rating

10:28:37 *** ar3k is now known as ar3kaw
10:32:42 <avdg> oh, looks like someone already done that
10:48:18 <peter1138> so my mass-transit system has no signals :p

12:17:53 <Eddi|zuHause> doesn't seem to run in konqueror
12:18:03 <SpComb> I wonder what HTML5 it uses
12:18:07 <Markk> I tried that earlier today.
12:18:09 <Noldo_> yeah, booted in chrome
12:19:44 <Ammler> on Konqueror, I got following error: ERROR: your browser is too old to run JS/Linux.
12:19:45 <Ammler> You should use a recent browser such as Firefox 4.x or Google Chrome.
12:20:11 <Noldo_> that thing gives me the creeps
12:20:33 <Markk> Ammler: It says what you need to do.
12:21:18 <Ammler> it has no network access :-)
12:21:31 <Noldo_> :D the terminal is a table
12:21:41 <Markk> I would like to have bash.
12:22:23 <Eddi|zuHause> takes ages to load in firefox
12:23:48 <Eddi|zuHause> but seems to work
12:24:56 <planetmaker> get a better connection. it also works flawlessly and quick with ff3
12:25:18 <Ammler> needs to download the kernel :-)
12:25:20 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, give me better connection, please :p
12:25:43 <Noldo_> you can propably download the parts to local computer if the loading is a problem
12:25:54 <SpComb> next step: an implementation of X in javascript
12:26:11 <Noldo_> canvas might be needed for that
12:27:02 <SpComb> or just VGA framebuffer

13:45:33 <Belugas> wow... a live dihedral :) been a while i've seen you around sir
13:49:45 <dihedral> yeah - i have a lot to do :-(
13:49:53 <dihedral> talking of a lot to do
13:50:07 <dihedral> any body in this channel in the need of a sys admin job? :-D
13:50:31 <dihedral> 70/30 to 60/40 linux / windows
13:50:41 <Belugas> not me. want to do customer support on windows, instead?
13:51:05 <dihedral> but we will drop that branch in the near future
13:52:56 <dihedral> esx, linux: web, database, file, mail servers, etc. windows: some little support, exchange, dc, backup (veeam + backupexec)
13:55:22 <dihedral> what would you suggest? ;-)
13:56:48 <dihedral> that's probably never going to happen in this company - at least i would not expect that to happen
13:57:36 <ChoHag> That is frequently the case.
13:57:53 <ChoHag> And the companies generally end up with admins worth what they are paid.
13:57:54 <dihedral> for that working here is very relaxed :-)
13:58:03 <peter1138> pfft, overpaid IT workers
13:58:09 <dihedral> but i'll take that as a compliment ;-)
13:58:26 <ChoHag> peter1138: The good ones are worth it.
13:58:54 <dihedral> ChoHag, of course the good ones are worth it - but finding the good ones is nasty :-P - esp. if you find a shit load of crappy ones first
13:58:56 <ChoHag> Or you can be like me and just get paid as if you are.
13:59:49 <dihedral> but quite honestly - i prefer someone who can be happy with relaxed work environment and 30K than someone somewhere around 50-70K and stressed like hell
14:00:02 <peter1138> i reckon pay rates should be legally mandated on a "how useful is this to society scale"
14:00:16 <peter1138> teachers, nurses, etc, should then get way more
14:00:29 <dihedral> that sounds like some decent tought
14:00:52 <peter1138> and some nerd setting up servers in between watching anime in a dark room would get a more appropriate wage
14:01:13 <ChoHag> My wife's seriously buggered up country is the result.
14:01:13 <dihedral> thankfully i do not work in the cellar :-)
14:02:02 <dihedral> pent-house offices, and we are only 5 :-D

14:06:19 * dihedral is reminded of the word "Rutsche" ^^
14:09:27 <peter1138> mind you, it's a bit of a silly opinion as i work in IT :p

17:28:27 <Thorn_> Hi all, I recently built openttd on a dedicated server (./configure --enable-dedicated) but unfortunately people can't connect as "The revision of the client does not match the server". Both client and server are built from the 1.1.0 source and the server doesn't actually have a revision (norev000).
17:30:57 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
17:31:23 <planetmaker> Thorn_, you need to build from an svn checkout to allow for proper version detection
17:31:52 <planetmaker> a tar has no means to know its version and whether it was modified, thus... norev0000
17:32:46 <Thorn_> hmm, and it must be identical revision to what the client is running?
17:38:05 *** Alberth has joined #openttd
17:38:05 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alberth
17:39:47 <Thorn_> out of curiosity, what revision is 1.1.0? svn log shows both r2228(6,5,4) happened that day
17:41:16 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
17:42:24 <Alberth> svn://svn.openttd.org/tags/1.1.0

18:18:40 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
18:19:49 <andythenorth> what's wrong with long vehicles just bending?
18:19:53 <andythenorth> or did I miss something?
18:34:14 *** Intexon has joined #openttd
18:41:10 <Terkhen> stuff made in a single piece is not supposed to bend I guess
19:02:43 <peter1138> does yacd handle automatic orders as expected?
19:11:54 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:21:53 <ChoHag> Are there any reliable multiplayer servers?
19:24:53 <Terkhen> I'm pretty sure some servers have been running up for years without any maintenance, so yes
19:25:20 <ChoHag> They ain't the ones I keep picking.
19:25:47 *** Absurd-Mind has joined #openttd
19:26:06 <Terkhen> what do you mean with "reliable"? what are you looking for?
19:26:31 <ChoHag> Primarily, has the bandwidth to support the game.
19:26:59 <Thorn_> openttd isn't exactly, erm, bandwidth hoggy
19:27:29 <ChoHag> No, but many people don't seem to manage even so.
19:27:42 <ChoHag> Where many == the small handful I've tried.
19:28:02 <Thorn_> the only time i've seen it jitter or stop for a few seconds is when the autosave kicks in on a massive map
19:28:24 <Terkhen> in my experience, lag in multiplayer is usually caused by maps that are too big or have too many vehicles running in processors that are not powerful enough
20:11:26 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: frosch * r22472 /trunk/src/newgrf.cpp: -Fix: When a NewGRF assigned station properties 09 and/or 0A multiple times, the previously allocated sprite layouts were not freed.
20:12:45 *** supermop has joined #openttd
20:24:49 <planetmaker> [21:02] peter1138 does yacd handle automatic orders as expected? <-- I think 'automatic orders' is an unfortunate wording. We should rather call it 'implicit orders'
20:25:06 <planetmaker> as nothing is (automatically) added what isn't there before
20:25:23 <planetmaker> good evening also :-)
20:52:18 <ChoHag> What is done implicitely?
20:55:37 <Alberth> if a train visits a station without being told explicitly to do so, the station is added to the orders as implicit order
20:57:58 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
20:58:15 <George> Does action 14 support UTF?
20:59:12 <planetmaker> you use it the same way as with action4. Looks good
21:00:56 <Rubidium> it might even be that the thorn is not ignored
21:01:08 <Rubidium> that it just assumes it to be UTF8
21:01:42 <planetmaker> George: is your file actually encoded as utf-8?
21:02:24 <George> You see the part of NFO there
21:02:32 <George> it works for actions 4
21:03:00 <George> Rubidium: Should I remove the thorn?
21:03:01 <Rubidium> by the way, if a language doesn't translate a string you can leave it out. It should automagically take the default string
21:03:29 <frosch123> the way i read the code the thorn is also required for action 14
21:04:27 <George> Do I need to provide a screen from r22471
21:05:48 <gar> how u instal the zip achive?
21:06:32 <Rubidium> frosch123: if that's the case, then there should be absolutely no reason why action4 style strings don't work for action14
21:06:43 <Alberth> what zip archive? sources or something else?
21:06:58 <gar> idono its from the site...
21:07:08 <Rubidium> gar: start reading readme.txt
21:07:24 <Alberth> idono either, there are lots of files from the site
21:07:41 <Rubidium> *especially* the sections about installing and running OpenTTD
21:07:49 <Rubidium> gar: if there is none, which zip did you download?
21:08:09 <frosch123> George: Rubidium: ogfx+trains puts thorns into the action 14, and i did not see thorns for it
21:08:22 <Alberth> or even, from which site?
21:08:43 <Rubidium> Alberth: I kinda expect an URI
21:09:05 * Alberth expected a filename :)
21:10:15 <George> frosch123: Should I add anything else?
21:12:10 <Eddi|zuHause> <andythenorth> what's wrong with long vehicles just bending? <-- it looks ugly
21:12:11 <Rubidium> frosch123: does it really do that? As I can't quite find the place were it would be removed; it only happens in TranslateTTDPatchCodes, which AFAIK isn't called for action4
21:12:49 <frosch123> a14 calls AddGRFTextToList, which calls TranslateTTDPatchCodes
21:13:54 <Rubidium> oh... multiple AddGRFTextToLists with different behaviour
21:17:10 <George> Rubidium: NFO is correct?
21:18:14 <frosch123> George: the nfo code in the fs task works fine for me
21:19:03 <George> frosch123: do I need to attach the GRF?
21:19:43 <planetmaker> they appear after some time.
21:19:49 <planetmaker> if you mean new models
21:21:13 <George> frosch123: Updated the FS#4618
21:23:46 <frosch123> George: it must be your editor
21:24:00 <frosch123> in the grf is indeed a "?" instead of a thorn
21:24:38 <frosch123> the editor did not save as utf 8
21:24:40 <George> and the same editor works fine with action 4?
21:24:47 <frosch123> if you would reload the file you would also see the "?" in the nfo
21:25:07 <frosch123> George: no idea, just saying what is actually in the grf
21:31:55 <George> Strange. Closed OTTD, editor, reopened it, recompiled the GRF, everything is fine. FS#4618 can be closed
21:39:32 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
21:40:00 <andythenorth> why doesn't FIRS have a power station?
21:40:50 <Eddi|zuHause> some idiot found them too boring
21:41:23 <Terkhen> andythenorth: please, keep the power station out
21:41:35 <Terkhen> the last time you started thinking about it the talks went on for months :P
21:42:15 <Terkhen> IIRC the conclusion was "it is just a steel mill that does not produce metal"
21:43:28 <Eddi|zuHause> well, the original idea was to have power stations influence nearby industries, but afair that was dropped because NewGRF didn't give enough access
21:44:05 <Terkhen> I'm not sure if that would be a great idea, supplies already fulfill that role
21:44:30 <andythenorth> I removed it because of the conclusion Terkhen mentioned
21:46:11 <Eddi|zuHause> cargos could get TE_ENERGY
21:48:08 <andythenorth> with YACD....I'm not sure I care about that stuff so much
21:49:43 <Terkhen> you could pick up the "power plants produce energy cargo" idea and distribute the energy among towns :P
22:11:49 <gamer> can somone help me install this =\
22:15:48 <Yexo> but not if you don't explain the troubles you have
22:16:42 <gamer> i don;t get how to install the 3rd party stuff
22:17:08 <Yexo> or are you trying to install AIs / newgrfs?
22:17:12 *** Prof_Frink has joined #openttd
22:17:31 <gamer> it couldn;t find the graphix
22:18:20 <Yexo> did you use the installer?
22:18:50 <Yexo> it should offer to automatically download and install the baseset
22:19:40 <Yexo> download the "Binary file for all platforms (zip archive)"
22:20:03 <Yexo> create (if it doesn't exist yet) Documents\OpenTTD\data and extract the zip file there
22:25:45 <Yexo> really informative, that guy
22:26:39 <Terkhen> a proud member of the "clicking next until it is installed" generation
22:27:46 * planetmaker *plops* another beer on this show ;-)
22:28:00 <planetmaker> popcorn is out, though
22:28:55 <Eddi|zuHause> i just came from the cinema, i had popcorn
22:29:49 <Eddi|zuHause> "Priest", but the movie didn't quite keep what was promised...
22:30:00 <Eddi|zuHause> and it's like 20 minutes too short
22:41:06 <planetmaker> he, that IS short
22:47:03 <Eddi|zuHause> was kinda open ended, in the sense of "we can produce several sequels of this if it goes well"... but i'm quite afraid that it won't do well
22:47:34 <Eddi|zuHause> would have better suited as a TV series
22:48:06 <Eddi|zuHause> spread the action scenes a little thinner, give the characters more depth and back-story, and you can get a whole season out of it
