09:24:10 <ChoHag_> Maybe everybody is busy making diagonal bridge or tunnel patches.
09:24:10 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
09:27:33 <Terkhen> everyone but me is playing YACD? :(
09:27:42 <ChoHag_> I'm afraid to say that I am.
09:27:54 <ChoHag_> It makes for an interesting game with FIRS.

15:47:11 <__ln__> end of discussion. the channel has become obsolete and will be closed.
15:47:37 * andythenorth waves bye to the channel
15:47:43 *** rhaeder has joined #openttd
15:49:55 <Terkhen> or we could start random kicks to liven up the channel
15:50:18 <planetmaker> nothing to see and talk about anyway. OpenTTD is 'done' I heart.
15:50:29 <planetmaker> Maybe it's missing and undo 'knob' though ;-)
15:50:29 <Thorn_> yeah i volunteer a kick just for that spelling actually
15:50:53 <planetmaker> @kick Thorn_ (indeed, can be fun)
15:50:53 *** Thorn_ was kicked by DorpsGek ((indeed, can be fun))
15:51:05 <planetmaker> he volunteered, right? :-)
15:51:47 <[NGE]Sachiel> u must use kickban, many peoples use autorejoin
15:52:09 <planetmaker> @kban [NGE]Sachiel 15 like this?
15:52:09 <DorpsGek> planetmaker: Error: [NGE] is not in #openttd.
15:52:27 <Thorn_> (temptatation to point and laugh)
15:52:28 <styr> Hey. can somebody help me? :) where can i downloade openttd for mac?
15:52:34 <andythenorth> if someone kbans me, I might be able to spend more time doing other stuff
15:52:42 <andythenorth> like paid work, parenting...trivial stuff
15:52:56 <planetmaker> styr, help yourself and look in the obvious places
15:53:05 <Rubidium> trivial paid parenting work? You're a babysitter?
15:53:28 <styr> i dont know where to look
15:53:48 <planetmaker> look in the top left
15:54:12 <Thorn_> i wonder how one can find the irc channel yet not the download appropriate for the platform
15:54:53 <planetmaker> maybe our download links are not obvious enough
15:55:55 <andythenorth> use a bigger icon
15:56:55 <andythenorth> could detect the os and use conditional wording
15:57:01 <andythenorth> "Download OpenTTD for Mac
15:57:08 <planetmaker> that is already done...
15:57:10 <andythenorth> "Download OpenTTD for windows"
15:57:15 <andythenorth> not in the front page
15:57:28 <planetmaker> well. It'll be confusing, if you search for another OS
15:57:40 <andythenorth> in gui design, every decision is wrong
15:57:42 <planetmaker> The download page offers you all OS.
15:58:14 <andythenorth> it's trivial to imagine cases the gui doesn't meet
15:58:16 <andythenorth> and worry about thoese
15:58:29 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
15:58:31 <andythenorth> could use the sidebar to list currently supported platforms (binaries)
15:59:17 <planetmaker> hm. There are actually even TWO download links on the main page
16:00:15 <andythenorth> or put a strip of supported platforms in below main proposition block
16:00:26 <andythenorth> I was just drawing an example in photostrop, but it crashed :P
16:00:40 <planetmaker> that's why it's called Photostop :-P

21:45:47 *** ar3k is now known as ar3kaw
22:09:59 <Eddi|zuHause> "speed record: 26 terabit in one second"
22:11:23 <Prof_Frink> Or, as El Reg put it, "The profs' single laser, employed as a smut hose, would thus be able to simultaneously satisfy the demands of no less than 34,852 filth-hungry onanists - it is a 34.8 kilowrist pipe."
22:11:52 <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds like it's from some discworld story...
22:16:01 <__ln__> my external hard drive is 2 gigabytes big during one second.
22:16:40 <Eddi|zuHause> 2 Gigabyte hard drive? is that from 15 years ago? :p
22:17:31 <__ln__> it's 2 TB in 1000 seconds.
22:17:49 <Eddi|zuHause> and can you transfer that over 50km in that time?
22:18:24 <__ln__> dunno, it's not very aerodynamic in shape
22:18:54 <Prof_Frink> Hmm, 26TB/s... You wouldn't need local storage, just bounce it around your network.
22:20:51 *** amkoroew1 has joined #openttd
22:25:12 *** ar3k is now known as ar3kaw
23:19:35 <gar> anyone willing to help me
23:34:36 <DabuYu> gar - i suggest to shout out your problem and see if someone knows about it
23:35:10 <gar> welll how do i use valuables
23:35:36 <gar> i sent them to the other bank but my truck just fills up and does nothing
23:35:36 <DabuYu> they transfer from bank to bank, so they can be tranfered both ways
23:35:51 <gar> and ur soppose to gain a profit right ?
23:35:59 <gar> i gain nothing not even lose....
23:36:00 <DabuYu> ah. does that place actually accepts valuables as well?
23:37:22 <DabuYu> so you have 2 stations, both accepting valuables, right? then the truck should fill up at A, move to B, unload and get money at B, load up at B, move to A, unload and get money at A, and so forth
23:37:54 <gar> truck goes to train which goes to truck
23:38:06 <gar> but no money gain anywhere for some reason
23:38:10 <DabuYu> remember that the two stations need to be two different banks of course
23:38:28 <gar> yeah 2 different banks....
23:38:29 <DabuYu> when truck goes to train, you have to set the truck to 'transfer'
23:40:05 <gar> D": don;t get mad cuz i sux tho....
23:40:30 <gar> oky u want me to send it to u
23:40:49 <DabuYu> you run which version?
23:41:24 <Eddi|zuHause> transfer doesn't work in two directions
23:41:43 <DabuYu> oh really Eddi|zuHause. that's sad
23:41:51 <Eddi|zuHause> you must do "transfer and leave empty"
23:41:51 <DabuYu> well then we probably know the problem :)
23:41:57 <Eddi|zuHause> so you can only do one direction
23:42:37 <gar> load my truck from station go to bank and transfer but no money gain
23:42:38 <Eddi|zuHause> the last truck must then do "unload and leave empty"
23:44:22 <gar> nop same problem no money
23:44:42 <Eddi|zuHause> it may take a few round trips to earn money
23:44:43 <gar> i unload and leave empty on the bank
23:46:27 <DabuYu> then we know that now too :) i didn't know either that transfer doesn't work both ways :)
23:46:59 <gar> when i try to move goods how come i lose money when transporting them in a city
23:47:25 <DabuYu> when it arrives you get negative income?
23:47:33 <Eddi|zuHause> gar: the transfer may overestimate the final income
23:47:57 <Eddi|zuHause> that difference is then displayed as "cost"
23:48:06 <Eddi|zuHause> you still earn money, though
23:48:29 <DabuYu> eddi knows everything hehe
23:48:35 <Eddi|zuHause> just less than expected
23:49:05 <gar> eerrmmm its just that my good that i am moving i lose 6 k every time i delever
23:49:45 <gar> and i want to deliever my goods to other towns....
23:50:41 <glx> you are just a transporter
23:51:09 <gar> yeah but i am losing money when i transport them to other places XD
23:51:33 <glx> route longer than needed maybe
23:54:14 <gar> any tips for poor old me ?
23:55:53 <Yexo> are you still using transfer orders?
23:56:16 <Yexo> losing money when you deliver smells like wrong orders, or not understanding transfer order correctly
23:57:15 <gar> i tryed it all still losing money.... but oky
23:57:38 <Yexo> in that case it'd be best if you uploaded your savegame somewhere so we can take a look at it
23:57:56 <Yexo> problems section of the forum is fine, or any filedump site
23:58:56 <gar> its oky i will make due ty
continue to next day ⏵
