00:48:33 *** Xrufuian has joined #openttd
01:59:21 *** bobingabout has joined #openttd
02:07:44 <bobingabout> anyone alive in here?
02:08:40 <bobingabout> know anything about SDL?
02:08:56 <Pinkbeast> I eagerly await the connection to OTTD
02:14:04 <bobingabout> fine... better question does anyone know where i should go to ask questions about SDL?
02:24:23 *** bobingabout has joined #openttd
02:25:52 <bobingabout> so what does openTTD use for graphics?
02:26:25 *** rhaeder has joined #openttd
02:36:11 <pjpe> that guy doesn't know it
02:56:09 <pjpe> damn i wish there was a game where you could build stuff like that
03:32:58 <pjpe> what happens if i load like 10 town newgrfs at once
03:33:08 <pjpe> do i get a mix of them or does only one of them work
03:56:20 *** goldshadow has joined #openttd
03:56:53 <goldshadow> im looking how to make a dedi server so i can play multiplayer with my friend
04:13:27 <goldshadow> no-one can answer me?
04:56:22 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
05:03:26 *** Kurimus has joined #openttd
05:29:18 *** mattfury has joined #openttd
05:32:28 <mattfury> can i work on your OTTD?
05:38:10 <mattfury> ugh could you possibly realise openttd-1.1.2 with opengfx opensfx openmsx so idonthavetodownloadit?
05:40:51 <planetmaker> mattfury: on windows: use the installer. On linux: use your packet manager. On OSX: you need to use your brains ;-)
05:41:37 <planetmaker> and we don't bundle it as during update you usually don't need the basesets anew.
05:51:18 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd

06:05:08 <planetmaker> moin andythenorth
06:13:32 <andythenorth> planetmaker: do you want to commit your template patch from yesterday?
06:26:13 <andythenorth> planetmaker: in the aluminium plant you've explicitly named the sprite layouts
06:26:23 <andythenorth> that is *significantly* easier to work with :P
06:26:27 <planetmaker> I find that better readable
06:26:43 <planetmaker> go ahead and do that everywhere ;-)
06:27:12 <planetmaker> the backdraw is it really needs looking at each gfx file to decide
06:27:38 <planetmaker> or at least take a layout and compare to ingame. Thus eats time without significant advantage
06:27:47 <planetmaker> I'd only do that when I rework layouts anyway
06:27:53 <andythenorth> the fore-draw(?) is that you'd have to do that anyway to work with the code
06:28:00 <planetmaker> like for aluminium plant where I incorporated the concrete tile in the layout
06:28:28 <andythenorth> so how do I use this template? SPRITELAYOUT_GROUND_NORMAL_SNOW
06:28:30 <planetmaker> but just as a pure codechange it's pure slave work
06:28:36 <andythenorth> define a sprite layout with it?
06:28:42 <andythenorth> assigning only the ground tile?
06:29:05 <planetmaker> like the other sprite layout templates. Just no building and building z-extend parameters
06:36:55 <andythenorth> could nml compile faster?
06:41:45 *** DayDreamer has joined #openttd
06:42:17 <planetmaker> it's not like it's terribly slow either.
06:42:21 <mattfury> sux 2 use mingw32 >_<
06:42:28 <mattfury> nothing opengl will run for me
06:42:30 <planetmaker> yup. Use a better OS ;-)
06:42:46 <mattfury> and trust you just yet?
06:43:27 <mattfury> you say heres the fix, heres the pills, go for your life
06:43:40 <planetmaker> sounds like windows-way
06:43:40 <andythenorth> planetmaker: maybe I should buy a faster laptop to compile nml :P
06:43:46 <mattfury> then by the time i get there, im dead.
06:44:16 <mattfury> sorry for my narcissism
06:44:28 <andythenorth> can I teach it to use more threads? I guess not, python doesn't like that
06:45:07 <planetmaker> hm... 8 seconds vs. 30 seconds. Indeed quite a bit slower
06:45:35 <planetmaker> I didn't realise it's that much andythenorth :-)
06:45:36 <mattfury> none of this seconds bs.
06:45:41 <planetmaker> mattfury: no. seconds
06:45:45 <planetmaker> you miss what we talk about
06:46:04 <planetmaker> I'm not talking about your mingw stuff ;-)
06:46:43 <planetmaker> it would require me to install windows in the first place... ;-)
06:47:46 <planetmaker> andythenorth: I fear that's the price we pay for our comfort
06:48:19 <planetmaker> assembler compilers are also faster (are they?)
06:51:07 <planetmaker> andythenorth: try 'make -j3' or similar, maybe -j5 or -j7
06:51:19 <planetmaker> though... might not do much...
06:51:47 <planetmaker> multi-threading NML is - as opposed to openttd - easier, I guess.
06:51:52 <planetmaker> But still a pain ;-)
06:52:56 <planetmaker> but... not feasible w/o rewriting parts of the game's core
06:52:58 <mattfury> what about ESXi support?
06:53:26 <mattfury> no i havent even looked at it yet
06:53:32 <mattfury> people keep compiling tasks for me to do
06:53:55 <mattfury> task 1-9999999 per day lol.
06:54:06 <andythenorth> planetmaker: do your timings include 'make clean'
06:54:20 <andythenorth> I have a script that runs make clean && make install always
06:54:23 <andythenorth> it reduces....problems
06:54:30 <planetmaker> just use make install
06:55:04 <andythenorth> there was a time when deps weren't reliably seen as changed. Is that fixed afaik?
06:55:41 <mattfury> mmm soothing medication.
06:56:10 <planetmaker> works for me, andythenorth
06:56:14 <planetmaker> you might use it differently
06:56:59 <planetmaker> anyhow: make clean takes 1.7s here. that is small compared to 30s compile time
06:57:59 <andythenorth> make install for me is 16.7s
06:58:01 <andythenorth> so not that long
06:58:05 <andythenorth> maybe I'm just impatient
06:58:17 <planetmaker> make clean && make install thus should be 19s or so
06:59:28 <planetmaker> well, grfcodec was faster, no doubt. But not much one can do about this difference, I guess
06:59:44 <planetmaker> NML grew and that eats quite a bit
06:59:53 <planetmaker> grfcodec needs to do no code generation
07:00:02 <planetmaker> it just crunches the hex numbers
07:00:09 <planetmaker> and inlines the images
07:00:17 <planetmaker> which probably eats most time there
07:01:14 <planetmaker> andythenorth: the only time make fails for me is when I remove dependencies
07:01:22 <planetmaker> which is the expected behaviour
07:01:34 <planetmaker> then I need to run make remake
07:02:36 <planetmaker> hm... newgrf scan window
07:02:43 <planetmaker> a sight I still have to get used to :-)
07:02:53 <andythenorth> I need to remove some of my 400 grfs :P
07:03:09 <planetmaker> that's about half of mine and 1/3 of rb ;-)
07:03:31 <andythenorth> so using -j3 or -j5 switches gets me a 0.2s improvement
07:03:42 <planetmaker> yeah, I noticed. Quite pointless
07:04:21 <planetmaker> hm... <3 rivers :-)
07:04:22 <andythenorth> and wrt multi-threading, afaik python apps need to be explicitly designed to support multi-threading
07:04:33 <andythenorth> and it's limited in scope
07:04:53 <planetmaker> but some parts of NML from a global perspective should be feasible to thread
07:05:30 <andythenorth> it's not that slow to build FIRS tbh
07:05:38 <planetmaker> I wish you a good one nevertheless, Wolf01 :-)
07:05:45 <andythenorth> for a long time - due to some makefile issues -the nfo build was >20s
07:07:35 <planetmaker> hm... I wonder what we do wrong and where with industries: the custom ground tiles only appear after some time
07:08:29 <planetmaker> andythenorth: but you didn't add the snows tracks as overlay, but you included the whole snow with aluminum plant, did you?
07:08:36 <planetmaker> Or do I have an old version? Hm...
07:08:51 <andythenorth> planetmaker: 'only appear after some time' ??
07:09:03 <planetmaker> yes. Fund an industry and watch it
07:09:06 <andythenorth> you mean after some game days
07:09:10 <andythenorth> construction stages
07:09:19 <planetmaker> so... ground is constructed after buildings?
07:09:27 <andythenorth> never used construction stages
07:10:09 <andythenorth> I see the same issue
07:10:40 <andythenorth> with aluminium plant
07:11:21 <planetmaker> yes, that's what I talk about. But probably others.
07:11:45 <andythenorth> so one possible cause - I think it's wrong though - it's snow returning to cover bulldozed ground?
07:11:49 <andythenorth> I think that's not the case
07:11:58 <andythenorth> I think it's a construction stage issue in the template
07:12:05 <andythenorth> but I didn't read code....
07:12:38 <planetmaker> builder's yard doesn't suffer from it
07:13:52 <Terkhen> we have construction stage templates?
07:14:12 <planetmaker> btw... while you're at it, andythenorth... could you use the snow tracks as from builder's yard? They look better on snow than the full snow tracks
07:14:27 <planetmaker> I thought you changed that on aluminum plant... but... seems not
07:14:39 <andythenorth> I only changed a small bit of snow there
07:14:52 <planetmaker> the snow still sticks out quite a bit. Or is that me when looking on the tile large-scale?
07:15:02 <andythenorth> I have no problem with changing - needs a ticket though
07:15:03 <planetmaker> I suggest to always use the tracks as in builder's yard
07:15:13 <andythenorth> it's not a savegame break?

08:39:25 <mattfury> is there anyway to turn off the buzzing chainsaw noise?
08:39:56 <mattfury> i dont want to disable sound, just the chainsaw noise
08:39:57 <Alberth> write a newgrf that overrides the sound
08:39:57 <planetmaker> hm... alberth's answer is correcter than mine ;-)
08:40:20 <Alberth> don't open a viewport near a sawmill :p
08:41:01 <Wolf01> once I was working on a sound options patch to disable level crossing's sounds but not others, I don't remember why I didn't keep that patch
08:41:29 <confound> you decided you liked level crossings after all
08:41:37 * andythenorth proposes adding a mute button....to every industry
08:41:43 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: frosch * r22847 /trunk/src/vehicle.cpp: -Fix (r22816): Wagons shall not be processed by autorenew.
08:41:45 <Alberth> make a better sound, and replace it in opensfx
08:41:45 <andythenorth> so they can be muted one by one
08:42:08 <planetmaker> Wolf01: there is such newgrf. so no need for a patch iirc
08:42:25 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: frosch * r22848 /trunk/src/ (4 files): -Add: The missing bits in station variable 43.
08:42:46 <Wolf01> but I wanted to make it extensible like I did for display options
08:44:15 <Wolf01> no, I think at some point were introduced the grfs sounds
08:46:25 <Wolf01> but if you want to disable a newgrf industry sound, you need to do it from the newgrf side, so a parameter or an addin to that grf
08:46:52 <mattfury> my data dir has no grfs
08:47:11 <mattfury> is opensfx stored in the .~/openttd/?
08:47:27 <Wolf01> maybe you downloaded all the content from bananas?
08:47:28 <planetmaker> that dir doesn't exist
08:47:38 <planetmaker> maybe ~/.openttd exists
08:48:19 <mattfury> how do i open opensfx.cat?
08:48:59 <mattfury> or will i need a new md5 hash for the cat file?
08:49:08 <mattfury> making it insecure etc.,
08:49:18 <planetmaker> you might need catcodec
08:50:12 <planetmaker> you could also simply get a checkout of the opensfx repository, change the source to not use that sound, compile it and be happy
08:50:33 <planetmaker> would be easier than to first decompile it
08:50:49 <mattfury> blargh command line util
08:51:02 * planetmaker wonders why people always consider de-compilation, for newgrfs and any other content the way to go than rather looking for the source...
08:51:28 <planetmaker> especially in an open-source environment...
08:51:37 <planetmaker> people obviously have been taught wrongly for years...
08:52:22 <mattfury> An error occured: Could not open src/wav/osfx_00.wav.new for writing
08:52:34 <mattfury> and i have openttd closed
08:53:12 <Alberth> mattfury: OPEN source, what use would encryption be?
08:53:32 <mattfury> not even using keys?
08:53:42 * Alberth guesses you are missing a directory in that path
08:53:54 <mattfury> the https connection dev.openttdcoop.org/ = insecure btw
08:55:11 <Alberth> mattfury: keys? you mean the md5sum? that's just for integrity checking, you can download md5sum programs
08:56:13 <mattfury> chrome for me identifies it was an insecure connection
08:56:35 <mattfury> connectoin is not compressed
09:07:15 *** Progman has joined #openttd
09:08:31 <mattfury> i found you bastard noise
09:08:40 <Ammler> there is google adsense on that page, which might confuse your obvious stupid secure check
09:15:28 * Alberth quickly copies oxsf_40.wav
09:15:51 <mattfury> gah if i ever here that noise in ottd..
09:19:40 <planetmaker> Alberth: I have copies. Free for everyone :-) And with vigilant guards which take care of sound murderers ;-)
09:20:44 <Alberth> __ln__: s/here/hear/ I think
09:22:13 <__ln__> would match with 'noise'
09:23:28 <mattfury> so how many mirrors of this one sound file do you have?
09:25:55 <Terkhen> your best bet is finding or creating a better sound that is compatible with the license of opensfx
09:26:00 <Terkhen> and then ask to replace it
09:26:35 <mattfury> open-sfx assuming gpl?
09:26:56 <planetmaker> a simple look at its license information would tell you the answer
09:27:16 <mattfury> i dont want to read it
09:27:38 <planetmaker> I don't want to hear moaning of too lazy people complaining about stuff they could know in 5 seconds
09:27:39 <Alberth> we don't want to look up the answer
09:28:47 <__ln__> hmm... i wonder how much would it cost to order a complete sound set from Michael Winslow
09:29:28 <Alberth> don't forget to mention that you aim to distribute it for free over the entire world :p
09:29:31 <mattfury> ask me how long it would take to edit in audacity?
09:29:51 <mattfury> and then my efforts for one sound file.
09:29:52 <planetmaker> quite honestly, it wouldn't hurt, __ln__ :-)
09:30:05 <mattfury> that has haunted me for the beginning of time
09:30:06 <planetmaker> and at best ask him to allow to use GPL
09:30:32 * planetmaker still wants a GPL soundset
09:30:42 <Alberth> mattfury: nah, wav files don't exist yet for >= 2000 years
09:31:04 <Alberth> nor do we have chainsaws that long :p
09:40:24 <mattfury> how do this sound to the original?
09:40:47 *** JVassie has joined #openttd
09:40:51 <mattfury> i think its -20db noisier
09:42:38 <Alberth> it does not want to give me the file
09:54:59 <Alberth> it wants me to have cookies
10:15:45 *** JVassie_ has joined #openttd
10:18:07 <mattfury> eh sorry im busy atm
10:18:19 <mattfury> may set up a ftpd later k
10:20:26 <Alberth> I am not the guy you need to convince, you could perhaps add an issue to the project
10:34:00 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: frosch * r22849 /trunk/src/ (engine_type.h ship_cmd.cpp): -Codechange: Add ShipVehicleInfo::ApplyWaterClassSpeedFrac() to apply ocean/canal speed fractions to velocities.
10:34:34 <CIA-2> OpenTTD: frosch * r22850 /trunk/src/ (build_vehicle_gui.cpp lang/english.txt): -Feature: Display separate ocean and canal speeds in the ship purchase list, if they differ.
10:43:30 <andythenorth> maybe today is a FISH day? :o

11:42:12 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
11:44:48 *** Christian has joined #openttd
11:45:31 <Christian> hi, is there an option, to hide outdated vehicles? i.e. steam trains when diesel are available?
11:46:18 <Alberth> technically they are not outdated, as you can still buy them
11:46:48 <Christian> yes, that's true. But I never do buy them, so it would be nice to be able to hide them
11:47:52 <Alberth> yeah, but computers are very bad at reading the mind of their users, so it does not know what you consider outdated.
11:48:11 <Christian> So that is not possible?
11:48:53 <Alberth> you could sort them in a more useful order perhaps
11:50:05 <Alberth> I do that with bridges and town directory lists :)
11:52:24 <planetmaker> Christian: make sure you have the setting "vehicles_never_expire" set to "no"
11:53:17 <planetmaker> it won't help you with already existing vehicles, though
11:53:44 <Alberth> it does not really help with your average vehicle newgrf
11:54:07 <planetmaker> well... it *should* as the old, obsolete vehicles won't be available for purchase anymore
11:54:23 <planetmaker> i.e. you won't have steam engines in the AsiaStar era
11:54:45 <Alberth> it does of course, but not enough (they have tooooo many engines imho)
11:55:07 <Alberth> but I guess that's the point of those grfs :)
11:55:40 <planetmaker> yeah, it's somewhat difficult to find a good balance. Esp. as every player has other needs. Or maybe even every map
11:56:37 <planetmaker> maybe one could add a checkbox in the vehicle list :-)
11:56:54 <planetmaker> but it'd need probably doing by one of those people who constantly have too many vehicles ;-)
11:57:16 <Alberth> and save the boxes to disk :)
11:59:07 <planetmaker> hm... good question about the 'where'
12:01:26 <planetmaker> I heart that flying is easy ;-)
12:01:40 <planetmaker> just the transition ground -> air and esp. air -> ground needs skill :-P
12:02:27 <planetmaker> and... why do you do plane paths in python?
12:03:09 <Alberth> easier experimenting, it's an interactive program, point A is connected to the mouse
12:06:07 <Alberth> but roughly 70% of the area is not covered yet (8 starting directions is a lot)
12:28:50 <SpComb> ah nice, you're looking at a city, wondering how to fit in a station, 'cause there's a factory in the way.. then said factory announce inmittent closure :)
12:31:12 <Alberth> sometimes you are lucky :)
12:49:45 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
12:51:58 <andythenorth> 2 FIRS tickets left for 0.7 :P
12:53:55 <andythenorth> the last 2 tickets I don't really fancy :(
12:55:23 <SpComb> just close them as "cannot reproduce"
12:57:00 <Alberth> or "wont implement" or target them for 2.0 :p
12:57:18 <andythenorth> they need to get changed :P
12:57:31 <andythenorth> one of them is this :P
12:58:32 <andythenorth> where is the canonical list of newgrf cargo labels now?
12:58:52 <andythenorth> has MB accepted the existence of the newgrf wiki?
12:59:02 <andythenorth> or is the ttdp wiki still canonical for cargo labels?
12:59:27 <Alberth> that would be silly imho
13:01:38 <andythenorth> so for sugar beet and sugar cane: BEET and CANE?
13:01:44 <andythenorth> or SGBT and SGCN
13:03:22 * andythenorth decides BEET / CANE
13:03:22 <Alberth> latter seem more specific and thus better imho
13:04:08 <Alberth> or should cargoes be as general as possible?
13:04:20 <andythenorth> it doesn't matter
13:04:34 <andythenorth> it's just a label
13:04:51 <andythenorth> the only one that matters is BEER
13:04:57 <Alberth> ie suppose I have another * BEET cargo, should I map to yours?
13:05:13 <andythenorth> when will HQ accept BEER?
13:06:44 <Alberth> you changed many strings!
13:08:39 <andythenorth> think we changed a lot of strings with nml conversion :P
13:16:02 *** douknoukem has joined #openttd
13:20:39 <andythenorth> the sugar cargo is a PITA
13:22:54 <planetmaker> andythenorth: the canonical wiki now is ttdpatch.de
13:25:19 <planetmaker> and river shores are a pita
13:28:47 <Alberth> nothing a river of BEER cannot fix :p
13:28:52 <andythenorth> planetmaker: got time to discuss the sugar cargo?
13:29:10 <Alberth> STR_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_PARAM_CITIYSET <-- s/IY/Y/ ?
13:29:35 <planetmaker> probably, yes, Alberth
13:29:42 <planetmaker> andythenorth: what's the issue with it?
13:29:55 <planetmaker> iirc you wanted to split it... so the decision is just which label to use, right?
13:30:03 <andythenorth> it fragments lots of code
13:30:09 <andythenorth> we need climate checks all over the place
13:30:40 <andythenorth> nml appears to use actual cargo label in tiles, industry action 0
13:31:28 <planetmaker> all industries...
13:32:01 * andythenorth wonders if that could be templated :P
13:32:49 <planetmaker> hm... *that* might be the interesting approach
13:33:19 <planetmaker> sounds easiest to me
13:34:01 <andythenorth> or we declare that it's fine to use one label
13:34:13 <andythenorth> but that seems a bit limited for vehicle support
13:34:30 <planetmaker> I've no strong opinion either way
13:34:51 <planetmaker> but you nearly got me convinced that two labels is the better approach
13:35:04 <planetmaker> I suggest to try the CB approach
13:35:13 <planetmaker> we might have use for that anyway when implementing economies
13:35:33 <andythenorth> well we could make the vehicle set authors check climate if they want 'accurate' graphics
13:36:39 <andythenorth> is a change of label / string a savegame break?
13:37:03 <planetmaker> changing a stringID?
13:37:17 <planetmaker> changing a cargolabel? Yes
13:39:51 <andythenorth> if we don't split them, as far as I can see the climate-specific strings for Beet / Cane are MIA
13:39:55 <andythenorth> so we have to do work either way

20:08:05 <andythenorth> what happens if I play a non-yacd game?
20:08:48 <andythenorth> I don't get rivers for starters
20:13:04 <andythenorth> rivers are way to easy to destroy :P
20:13:49 <AlexWorX> bc their free rivers on every way
20:18:52 * andythenorth uses the power of newgrf developer tools :P
20:19:01 <andythenorth> to adjust running costs in game
20:29:02 <andythenorth> shame I can't use newgrf developer tools to make locks that are 1 or 2 tiles :\
20:36:29 *** supermop_ has joined #openttd
20:42:02 *** Progman has joined #openttd
20:43:30 <andythenorth> rivers are of little gameplay value
20:43:40 *** JVassie_ has joined #openttd
20:43:45 <andythenorth> now I am trying to use them instead of just looking at them :P
20:43:51 <andythenorth> they're not free canals
20:44:33 <supermop_> if a much of towns are placed near rivers they are usable
20:44:50 <andythenorth> your canals comment is not far from the truth
20:45:06 <andythenorth> rivers are useful, as long as you rebuild them mostly as canals :P
20:45:45 <supermop_> well many navigable waterways have hadd a lot of work done on them
20:46:11 <andythenorth> doesn't help gameplay much though :P
20:48:35 *** JVassie_ is now known as JVassie
20:51:59 <andythenorth> ~£100,000 to canalise a river for about 30 tiles
20:52:19 <andythenorth> a railroad same distance is about £22k
20:54:48 <pjpe> making a canal is far more expensive than building a railroad i'd think
20:55:56 <andythenorth> it's a train game anyway
20:56:02 <andythenorth> I keep forgetting that :o
20:57:26 <pjpe> not our fault trains are cool
20:57:57 <andythenorth> it ought to be someone's fault
20:59:48 <jonty-comp> he's not dead, he's in a cupboard
21:14:59 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
21:15:55 <andythenorth> so really, £5,060 to build 1 tile of canal?
21:15:58 <andythenorth> I thought that was fixed?
21:16:04 <andythenorth> £140 to build rail on the same tile
21:21:53 <Ammler> sounds like the price for rivers
21:22:22 <andythenorth> it's dumb and probably a mistake :)
21:22:42 <andythenorth> Terkhen reset costs on canals a year or more ago
21:27:25 <supermop_> yeah i thik thy are still expensive
21:35:20 <pjpe> switzerland seems like a nice place to live
21:42:32 <SpComb> that the trains drive through

22:12:05 <supermop_> waiting for hurricanes is boring
22:14:44 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm all for developing roadtypes and stuff... but i have my serious doubts that Leanden has the proper technical knowledge/abilities to pull that off...
22:15:47 <Yexo> I'm quite sure he doesn't have that
22:16:33 <Yexo> which is exactly why I'm not evern trying to contribute anything to that topic
22:18:02 <Yexo> from what I've seen so far he has just copied the railtype spec wiki page and changed "rail" to "road" everywhere
22:19:11 <Eddi|zuHause> that's what you get when you have a person of the category diligent/stupid
22:21:22 <Eddi|zuHause> (on the Moltke scale)
22:33:35 <pjpe> does anyone know what the hell this is
22:33:42 <pjpe> did someone just make a mockup of some
22:33:45 <pjpe> new way of displaying graphics
22:34:36 <Yexo> looks like random mockup
22:34:46 <Yexo> or gui from openttd pasted over graphics from some other game
22:36:25 <planetmaker> iirc it's an old mock-up
22:36:32 <Eddi|zuHause> wow, i haven't seen that picture in ages.
22:36:42 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, it's a part of a series of mock-ups
22:36:51 <Eddi|zuHause> there was another one with fog and stuff
22:37:01 *** Progman has joined #openttd
22:59:36 <frosch123> pjpe: that's a famour mockup by richk from 2006 or so
22:59:46 <frosch123> there is a whole topic on the forums with such mockups
23:00:52 <pjpe> weird that some random person was using it to advertise their server on a random blog that like 5 people must read
23:01:52 <frosch123> well, this one was actually the best one in that topic :)
23:02:32 <peter1139> 32bpp will allow that right?
23:05:42 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm quite sure he was sarcastic :p
continue to next day ⏵
