01:19:20 <Eddi|zuHause> "Auckland (New Zealand) saw the first snow in 80 years"
01:45:13 <Pikka> especially if you sit down on the ground
02:07:56 *** lessthanthree has joined #openttd
02:13:53 <KittenKoder> Shrunk down it should get the illusion of more detail.
02:14:13 <KittenKoder> Blue = company color 1, Green = company color 2 ....
02:14:58 <KittenKoder> .... and now everyone's probably asleep. >.<
02:21:04 <Pikka> dunno about the green stripes, makes it look a bit like it's held together with tape :P
02:22:35 <KittenKoder> As I said, it will be second company color or darker company color.
02:22:59 <KittenKoder> Though .... the one across the top .... that does seem a bit too much.
02:23:29 <KittenKoder> Maybe if I made it go lengthwise?
02:26:27 *** rhaeder has joined #openttd
02:29:45 <KittenKoder> You may have to refresh.
02:31:46 <KittenKoder> Trying to make it so it also fits with at least a few other train sets.
02:35:59 <KittenKoder> It converts to the DOS palette nicely with these colors.
02:43:04 <KittenKoder> Hmm ... taking it to the right size loses a little more detail than I thought .... gotta make a bit more contrast.
02:49:16 *** mosi|work has joined #openttd
02:53:59 <KittenKoder> Something just doesn't look right on it.
02:55:33 <KittenKoder> Looks more like a bus than a train engine.
03:07:12 <Pinkbeast> It might be worth looking at it in context (ie, on the appropriate kind of tracks)
03:08:27 *** Kurimus has joined #openttd
03:08:32 <KittenKoder> Well, the default maglev tracks it would work ....
03:11:26 <KittenKoder> I think I found the problem, the front end was angled too much so when I rendered it to the correct size it looked wrong.
03:16:58 <KittenKoder> Also ... why didn't anyone point out that I had used red on the front end? >.<
03:17:27 <KittenKoder> JK of course ... but that was part of the problem to.
03:21:54 <pjpe> lessthanthree is your server down or has my dns gone crazy
03:35:35 *** Xrufuian has joined #openttd
04:00:01 <KittenKoder> Anyone familiar with NML alert right now?
04:22:32 <Pikka> KittenKoder, it'd probably be better to code it "properly" as a vehicle.
04:22:51 <KittenKoder> Then what ID would I use for the replacement?
04:23:09 <KittenKoder> All I want to do is replace the sprite, not change anything else.
04:24:00 <KittenKoder> Not directly though, as a GRF.
04:24:38 <Pikka> well, if opengfx+ just uses the default sprites, then I guess replacing the sprites would work.
04:25:12 <KittenKoder> I'll try and see what it does.
04:25:34 <KittenKoder> Once I get the sprites themselves done.
05:20:30 *** HerzogDeXtEr1 has joined #openttd
05:40:06 <KittenKoder> Wait, it looks like they already chose new ones.
05:43:04 <KittenKoder> Which is a good thing because I don't want to code a whole thing just to get replacement sprites. LOL

07:45:17 <mosi|work> is there a current copy/paste patch for 1.1.2 ?
07:46:54 <planetmaker> 1.1.2 with a c&p patch is not 1.1.2 anymore.
07:47:01 <planetmaker> thus you can use a nightly right away
07:47:38 <mosi|work> that i might actually do, cheers
07:48:14 <planetmaker> basides: the newest version is most likely found in the patch's thread or nowhere ;-)
07:49:04 <mosi|work> just found it, latest release was aug 15. i was thinking that was last month for some reason
07:50:52 <planetmaker> one month is also not much time
08:21:51 *** AlexLivingstone has joined #openttd
08:28:32 <KittenKoder> I am of the mind that I suck at drawing sprites.
08:38:52 <planetmaker> it's not a job done quickly nor learnt quickly, I think
08:39:54 <KittenKoder> I need to learn to draw them by hand.
08:40:11 <KittenKoder> I have a pen tablet ... don't know why I keep forgetting to use it.
08:40:56 <planetmaker> some people use 3D models to get the shape about right. But all better 8bpp sprite artists give them a manual retouch as far as I know.
08:41:13 <planetmaker> those who don't draw them w/o a model right away that is
08:41:42 <KittenKoder> I can model well in 3D ... but they don't transfer well, they wind up needing to be almost completely redrawn.
08:42:07 <KittenKoder> ... and then I just can't get it to line up at all. >.<
08:43:03 <KittenKoder> What I am thinking of is making a 3D model of the basic outline to get the lighting right, then draw the rest by hand.
08:44:47 *** fjb is now known as Guest6062
08:45:54 <KittenKoder> The hardest part is that the color conversions wind up with a lot of animated colors, then adding the company colors is another story.
08:46:47 <Terkhen> IIRC egrvts was done with 3D models converted to 8bpp sprites, for example
08:49:42 <KittenKoder> I saw that, but I can't get the same results no matter what I do.
08:49:47 *** Progman has joined #openttd
08:53:13 <KittenKoder> Just realized one reason it's been hard.
08:56:06 <KittenKoder> Hey, can the purple block be used for custom colors?
08:56:15 <KittenKoder> In the DOS palette.
08:57:37 <Hirundo> No, you can't change the palette, it's hard-coded in OpenTTD
08:58:56 <KittenKoder> Okay, thanks, just checking because it would have been nice, but not needed.
08:59:42 <planetmaker> well... there are re-colour sprites. Thus you can re-sort the palette
09:00:05 <KittenKoder> I saw those commands in NML
09:06:04 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
09:06:06 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
09:07:01 <Yexo> KittenKoder: if you need more colors than are available in the default palette you'll need to use a 32bpp blitter
09:08:15 <planetmaker> Yexo: still. I already wondered whether one could assign other colours to the unused slots in the DOS palette
09:08:31 <planetmaker> not on newgrf-side but on openttd side
09:08:55 <Yexo> openttd could do that probably
09:09:04 <KittenKoder> Yexo, yeah, I saw that, but I don't need a LOT more colors. ;)
09:09:13 <planetmaker> it's afterall wasted pixels which is not needed anymore anywhere
09:09:16 <KittenKoder> Just the purples as a gradient would have been cool.
09:11:13 <peter1138> 18 unused colours isn't it?
09:11:35 <KittenKoder> Erm, 12, math is off.
09:11:51 <peter1138> right, i'm looking at the windows palette, d'oh
09:11:54 <KittenKoder> For the DOS palette.
09:12:12 <KittenKoder> Windows, yeah, I think it's 18 but I'm too lazy to load that one up now. :p
09:12:36 <KittenKoder> But then again, the DOS one has two gray gradients.
09:12:46 <planetmaker> only fixing the DOS palette is interesting
09:13:08 <Pikka> KittenKoder, the secret to rendering sprites is to use a palette containing only the colours that you want :)
09:13:10 <planetmaker> s/fixing/enhancing/g
09:13:27 <KittenKoder> That's what I had JUST realized, Pikka .... LOL
09:13:30 <planetmaker> Pikka: thus you render already with the proper palette?
09:13:36 <Pikka> for example, my av8 palette only really has the two company colours and shades of grey
09:13:46 <KittenKoder> I was looking at the palettes then thought "if I just turn all the colors I don't want to pure white ...."
09:13:55 <Pikka> pure pink is a better idea :P
09:14:15 <KittenKoder> I was thinking of using pure pink as the company color for the rendering.
09:14:32 <planetmaker> CC has shades. You don't want to loose that
09:14:39 <Pikka> well, you want the 8 shades of company colour, so it's better to stick with blue and green imo
09:14:44 <KittenKoder> Well, a gradient pink, then it would be easier to convert while keeping the other colors.
09:14:54 <planetmaker> KittenKoder: CC is the blue one
09:15:03 <KittenKoder> But metalic colors are bluish. >.<
09:15:06 <planetmaker> if you do it pink, you add an unnecessary step
09:15:07 <Pikka> I guess there's no reason you couldn't use pink though, planetmaker
09:15:24 <planetmaker> except that it needs conversion ;-)
09:15:29 <planetmaker> but yes... maybe to distinguish
09:15:41 <planetmaker> Pikka: from pink -> blue before actual usage?
09:15:48 <Pikka> nope, the colours in your palette don't need to be the same colours that will be displayed in ttd
09:15:56 <KittenKoder> Not really, I can make a custom palette where the pink replaces the CC in the positions, then using gimp I just apply the new palette without actually converting.
09:16:00 <planetmaker> hm.. .right. Just palette entries
09:16:11 <planetmaker> didn't think of that
09:16:22 <planetmaker> I should make more use of that. Thanks for the prod
09:17:12 <KittenKoder> Gimp lets you apply palettes in two ways, going from RBG to palette it calculates the "best" index for each pixel, but switching the palette after going to indexed it just applies the new colors to each pixel using the same index values.
09:17:52 <KittenKoder> I think I typed all that out for myself really.
09:17:59 <KittenKoder> I'm lame like that sometimes.
09:18:59 <planetmaker> just compiling the new gimp versions is a bitch :-P - thus I can't test the 2.8 alphas ;-)
09:19:32 <planetmaker> they sadly depend on libs which are not readily available
09:20:41 <KittenKoder> Too many programs have been doing that lately.
09:21:07 <KittenKoder> Gnome is using a LOT of unstables for their latest official releases even. That annoys me.
09:21:45 <KittenKoder> Not Gnome, Ubuntu.
09:22:08 <KittenKoder> Gah, I should be sleeping, just getting palette ideas.
09:23:00 <planetmaker> Requested 'babl >= 0.1.4' but version of babl is 0.1.2 <-- and 0.1.4 is not released
09:28:02 *** Adambean has joined #openttd
09:47:17 <KittenKoder> There, I think I finally made a palette that will make sprite conversion from 3D a lot simpler for me ....
09:48:23 <KittenKoder> Whited out all the animated colors, changed cc1 to purple, whited out the purple, and made cc2 pure green.
09:52:27 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
09:55:23 * KittenKoder does the caramelldansen
09:56:02 <KittenKoder> No more searching for miscolored pixels the hard way.
09:57:31 *** Xaroth_ has joined #openttd
09:57:47 <KittenKoder> If I venture into non-vehicle objects, I can make different conversion palette bases depending on what animated color is used.
09:59:27 * KittenKoder wonders if this technique would be nice to share.

14:53:29 <AlexLivingstone> is somebody selling grafic-librarys for using it in openttd?
14:55:23 <DorpsGek> andythenorth: I have not seen somebody.
14:56:39 <AlexLivingstone> openttd will be released as browsergame in the next future ;)
14:59:26 <Eddi|zuHause> luckily not in this future, only in the next future, so there's some time left...
15:01:53 <planetmaker> actually, if you ask me now, AlexLivingstone, I have some pretty new OpenGFX in stock. I can make a special offer of only 50€. Or as multi-user version for 500€ (up to 50 users) or 1000€ (unlimited users)
15:16:00 <Rubidium> planetmaker: oh, that sounds nice... let me look up the back account number you can get that money from... got it somewhere
15:19:40 <AlexLivingstone> alex StoneD =_=
15:21:11 <Rubidium> planetmaker: though I'd sell SDL as a graphics library
15:22:05 <planetmaker> We could sell most things here - except opensfx
15:23:12 <AlexLivingstone> h old, i am in a buy buy situation. can only pay with hometrained
15:30:56 <andythenorth> AlexLivingstone: I have $10,000 here which you could have a share of
15:31:08 <andythenorth> but first please send me $1,000 to unlock it with
15:34:54 <planetmaker> sounds like a viable business model
15:36:10 <AlexLivingstone> $ != Amero Aight?

15:38:46 <AlexLivingstone> planetmaker: 8-view gif with transparency or 8-class-model
15:39:56 <AlexLivingstone> andythenorth:1.000 for planetmaker and the rest for surviving a video shot..?
15:40:38 <AlexLivingstone> but who buys videos 2day
15:41:40 <AlexLivingstone> maybe planetmaker can ask for the buy-IN
15:42:31 <planetmaker> you don't honestly want anyone of us to pay for something related to openttd developement done by a 3rd party side?
15:43:58 <planetmaker> we all work for the joy of it on this project and anyone is free to do so, too
15:46:47 <planetmaker> anyone can of course also spend the money on it as s/he pleases
15:47:02 <planetmaker> but it's not like we can fund any development
15:48:13 <planetmaker> and I think I heard this story already
15:48:47 <Pinkbeast> planetmaker> I'm slightly impressed you seem to understand what he's on about
15:50:47 <planetmaker> Pinkbeast: not sure. But I just got a flashback
15:51:18 <planetmaker> and there it was like "we make openttd a browser game if you can sponsor $$$"
15:55:28 <AlexLivingstone> $$$ sounds like *** or foo and not bar foo cash money ;) what would you please for implement 1.4 AME > 1 EUR <0.6 AME with playback for choosing currency by city/bank with attitudes when +1- for -1+, i dont have 3rd party side only front side speakers and also would do it for the joy

16:16:35 <AlexLivingstone> openttd is source
16:17:17 <Eddi|zuHause> use the sauce...
16:17:42 <AlexLivingstone> yesterday night i dreamed about the woman in red clothes in a car holding me as a pet
16:19:37 <AlexLivingstone> KittenKoder: you have to want to kill the bad image with the noise of your pen. a pen is more dangerous than a hornet
16:20:58 <andythenorth> go to sleep ninky nonk
16:21:05 <andythenorth> go to sleep pinky ponl
16:22:16 <Terkhen> what's up with this guy?

19:46:55 *** t4nk223 has joined #openttd
19:48:16 <appe> i have a particular issue with version 1.1.2 (and 1.1.1, wich it originates in).
19:48:26 <appe> in desert mode, the food vagon ..is invisible.
19:49:39 <Alberth> changed any newgrfs in the past in that game?
19:50:07 *** DayDreamer has joined #openttd
19:50:13 <appe> i uninstalled 1.1.1 when i had the issue, and installed 1.1.2 fresh of the site (openttd-1.1.2-windows-win64)
19:50:23 <appe> and it's still there, even in new maps (and saves)
19:51:07 <Alberth> yeah, good applications are stable across re-installs
19:51:48 <appe> when i buy the vagon, it gets bought and obviosly "is there" (though invisible). when the train runs it doesnt load, or anything.
19:52:19 <Alberth> I am clueless what happens, at this moment
19:52:27 <Alberth> do you have a save game?
19:53:03 <Alberth> what year is the game?
19:55:29 <Alberth> ok, confirmed, I also have a gap at that place :)
19:55:44 <Alberth> without using your save game
19:55:57 <appe> well, time for a rail change, i guess.
19:56:32 <Alberth> you are using OpenGFX ?
19:56:48 <appe> i x:ed it during the isntall
19:57:31 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
19:59:13 <Alberth> it may be an issue of OpenGFX
19:59:47 <Alberth> I can load food at your Drunnton Food Processing plant
19:59:54 <Alberth> using invisible food wagons
20:00:08 <Alberth> so it looks like it is a pure graphics issue
20:10:15 <planetmaker> Alberth: it is an issue in the currently released OpenGFX
20:10:21 <planetmaker> it's fixed in OpenGFX trunk
20:10:48 <Alberth> planetmaker: ok, thanks
20:11:18 <planetmaker> maybe time for an early release :-)
20:11:31 <appe> how does one get a opengfx trunk?
20:11:35 <planetmaker> FooBar was very busy with fixing and implementing stuff
20:11:45 <planetmaker> appe: follow the link you were given by alberth
20:12:26 <planetmaker> today identical ;-)
20:13:23 <Alberth> 'trunk' means 'source' to me, but that is probably an occupational hazard :)
20:14:50 <Alberth> appe: there is a 'LATEST' directory in the link. download that version
20:24:54 <appe> i did it wrong. awfully wrong
20:28:21 <appe> i didnt actually do it at all
20:31:09 <Zuu> Oh, I though he talked about OpenTTD. :-)
20:31:35 <Alberth> but this is fairly on-topic :p
20:32:44 <appe> newgrf are like ..new graphics (sprites)?
20:32:59 <Pinkbeast> A bit more than that.
20:33:07 <Zuu> But can also be a lot more than that ^
20:33:23 <Pinkbeast> newgrfs are typically new vehicles or industries, but the term covers a multitude of sins
20:33:53 <Zuu> For example there exist town name NewGRFs that only provide new town name generators, but no new graphics.
20:34:41 <Alberth> or look at the list newgrfs that you can download from bananas
20:37:43 <Zuu> I keep wondering why there are so many people downloading an AI library, than the only AI that requests it.
20:38:31 <Zuu> 507 of the AI and 807 of the library ^^
20:38:53 <Pinkbeast> Library's updated more frequently? (Which AI and which library?)
20:39:13 <Zuu> Tutorial AI 5 and SuperLib 13.
20:39:29 <Zuu> The download counts are per specific version.
20:54:45 *** Sc00by22 has joined #openttd
21:08:22 <Pinkbeast> Zuu> Perhaps downloading the library trying to work on an AI based on the tutorial one?
21:08:42 <Pinkbeast> appe> FIRS is quite jolly and not as beset with micromanagement as ECS
21:09:07 <Zuu> Perhaps, but why would the ratio be that large. Most users I would expect not to get into such things.
21:10:14 <Zuu> But perhaps I should be happy that my library attracts 300 users that don't need an AI to "use" it :-p
21:10:26 <andythenorth> appe: how many industries?
21:10:42 <appe> i just enjoy building neat chains
21:10:52 <appe> do i simply download the grf and load it?
21:11:08 <andythenorth> current release on the content download service is 0.6.4
21:11:13 <Pinkbeast> Don't load it in a running game or Comedy Will Ensue
21:11:18 <andythenorth> you'll need vehicle sets that support it
21:13:11 <Pinkbeast> OK, but DWE is purely chrome. Any station tile is like any other, no matter how it looks, provided it has track. You do need sensible vehicle sets.
21:15:21 <andythenorth> appe: quite a lot of vehicle sets work with FIRS
21:15:56 <Pinkbeast> Someone is too modest to mention HEQS, for starters. :-)
21:17:59 <andythenorth> NARS 2, UKRS 2, 2CC set, OpenGFX+ trains
21:19:10 <Pinkbeast> eGRVTS seems to work with FIRS and starts very early with horse-drawn vehicles (pertinent if you're also using UKRS2 and FISH and starting early)
21:19:38 *** Sc00by22 has joined #openttd
21:19:39 <andythenorth> eGRVTS won't refit to alcohol sadly :(
21:20:25 * Hirundo ponders starting a FIRS game
21:20:46 <andythenorth> you can find all the bugs :)
21:20:50 <Pinkbeast> I'd been wondering about that, although the UKRS2 livestock hole is more vexing
21:21:48 <Eddi|zuHause> Pinkbeast: that's a feature.
21:22:01 <Eddi|zuHause> although certainly an annoying one
21:22:38 <opa_> horse vehicles?? how early can you start?
21:22:49 <opa_> when the game is still quite playable
21:22:56 <Pinkbeast> Eddi> Pikka thinks it's a feature; I disagree.
21:23:34 <andythenorth> make an add-on grf
21:23:45 * andythenorth agrees with pikka btw
21:23:47 <Pinkbeast> ... although obviously if I don't like it I can suck it up because it's not like I did the set etc
21:24:25 <andythenorth> opa_: depends what other sets you have
21:24:40 <andythenorth> before 1830 it's really quite boring
21:24:53 <Pinkbeast> opa> The eGRVTS horse vehicles are effectively around forever; the FISH sailing ships start in 17xx but are alas too slow to work with OTTD's payment structure a lot of the time.
21:24:56 <andythenorth> and the horses are broken with realistic road vehicle acceleration, but you can turn that off
21:25:07 <andythenorth> no sailing ships in FISH ;)
21:25:23 <andythenorth> there's an early ships grf or such
21:25:30 <Pinkbeast> Oh, sorry, yes, I was thinking of the early ships.
21:25:35 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: frosch * r22755 /trunk/src/viewport.cpp: -Fix [FS#4727]: When marking tile selections dirty, use the height information of the corners instead of the surface slope. This is more accurate when the foundation is kind of undefined.
21:26:50 <Pinkbeast> But it's a long way from the Planet in 1830 to the Coppernob and Crampton making railways anything but a novelty for pax only
21:27:17 <Pinkbeast> Also now daylength patches try and keep income per annum constant, I'd feel free to play with the daylength _shamelessly_
21:29:36 <planetmaker> just make sure you play w/o inflation if starting this very early
21:30:04 <Pinkbeast> That was next on my list of things, yes. :-)
21:30:36 * planetmaker doesn't play ever with inflation, though
21:31:21 <Pinkbeast> I do sometimes, it helps to address the way the game just gets easier as vehicles get larger and more powerful.
21:33:08 <planetmaker> how does it address that?
21:33:22 <Pinkbeast> Because they also get more expensive to run in real terms.
21:33:22 <planetmaker> you also get more money etc
21:33:36 <Pinkbeast> Inflation increases costs faster than payments, does it not?
21:34:19 <planetmaker> yes indeed. slightly
21:34:54 <planetmaker> interestingly this leads to the fact that the inflation settings for 'hard' is actually easier than for the 'easy' difficulty setting
21:35:12 <planetmaker> as the relative increase in costs is more in the easy difficutlty
21:35:13 <Pinkbeast> Also inflation has the odd characteristic that it makes loans slightly nicer
21:38:03 <Pinkbeast> I'd slightly rather a shim that adjusts cargo payment rates based on the speed/power/cost of available vehicles in some deeply magic way, although I realise that's a hard problem

22:24:26 <appe> are there grf that makes town become bigger?
22:24:53 <Sc00by22> there's a few cmds to change the sizes
22:25:31 <KittenKoder> Advanced Settings > Economy > Towns
22:26:25 <appe> ah, there we are, thank you :)
22:26:58 <Eddi|zuHause> TTRS towns tend to be bigger (afair, haven't used that in a long time, as the towns look also uglier)
22:28:09 <KittenKoder> If you want the boundaries to grow, use town GRFs like Swedish houses and UK houses, there are no huge buildings so the towns spread out more to.
22:29:59 <aditsu> hi, what's the maximum production for oil rigs?
22:32:29 <Eddi|zuHause> hm, no, more like 3000-ish
22:34:03 <aditsu> Eddi|zuHause: huh? I have an oil rig with 1215000 liters production
22:34:21 <Eddi|zuHause> that's 1215, the 000 is only display ;)
22:34:57 <aditsu> oh, so it goes up to about 3000?
22:35:31 <Eddi|zuHause> there's a more exact number, but i don't remember it
22:35:45 <Eddi|zuHause> must be somewhere in the wiki or the forum
22:36:47 <aditsu> is it related to e.g. maximum coal mine production?
22:37:07 <Eddi|zuHause> i think all extractive industries have the same limit
22:37:44 <KittenKoder> Will changing the palette of a NewGRF break saved games?
22:38:15 <Eddi|zuHause> KittenKoder: it may, or may not...
22:38:44 <KittenKoder> Not a definitive answer .... maybe I'll just make a new version instead.
22:39:15 <DorpsGek> aditsu: Error: float division
22:39:35 <planetmaker> KittenKoder: in 99% of the cases it will not matter
22:39:41 <planetmaker> but in principle it can go wrong
22:40:47 <Eddi|zuHause> @calc 255*74*30/256
22:40:47 <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: 2211.328125
22:41:13 <appe> is there any particular reason forest industries doesnt form in desert maps?
22:41:32 <KittenKoder> Forests don't grow in deserts.
22:41:45 <Eddi|zuHause> appe: the saw mills must be funded by the player
22:42:08 <Eddi|zuHause> appe: near rainforest trees, so they can be chopped down
22:42:25 <appe> hey wait, this is a winter map
22:42:42 <Eddi|zuHause> appe: in arctic map, it must be above snow line
22:43:03 <Eddi|zuHause> appe: so they might not form if you have very flat maps

23:33:13 <Eddi|zuHause> what do you mean?
23:33:23 <KittenKoder> I'm trying to be lazy and don't want to go through the whole seek and destroy for miscolored pixels is all.
23:33:43 <KittenKoder> But the icons won't be blinking and stuff if there's a stray animated color there, would it?
23:34:00 <Eddi|zuHause> of course it would
23:34:12 <Eddi|zuHause> palette animation is applied to the whole screen
23:34:32 <Eddi|zuHause> not any particular sprite
23:34:50 <KittenKoder> Okies, can't be lazy there.
23:35:18 <Eddi|zuHause> this is all simple if you use the right conversion
23:43:03 <KittenKoder> GUI icons have always been a weak point to me.
