04:56:22 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
05:26:46 <Elukka> Eddi|zuHause: i put together a train, not terribly important but think of it as a quick promo picture :D
05:30:03 <pjpe> now make an animation of it turning!
05:30:45 <Elukka> might get the full sprites of the coaches done tomorrow or the next day
05:30:52 <Elukka> loco is already done, not mine though
05:39:30 <Diablo-D3> I wonder how map gen is supposed to work
05:39:41 <Elukka> you could do some pixels too if you want it done faster, pjpe :P
05:39:53 <Diablo-D3> varierty distribution: none
05:39:57 <Diablo-D3> produces amazing fucking maps
05:40:20 <Diablo-D3> but very low through very high produce nearly identical results
05:40:38 <Diablo-D3> and the results are basically a few mounts and lots of flat area
05:40:43 <pjpe> can you take a screenshot of the small map of two with the same seed?
05:41:13 <pjpe> damn i wish 2cc guy would come back
05:41:17 <Diablo-D3> I think its the map size
05:41:27 <Diablo-D3> 2048x2048 seems to confuse it
05:41:35 <Diablo-D3> smaller sizes produce what I think was intended
05:42:14 <Elukka> hey sprites are kinda fun to make
05:42:23 <Diablo-D3> I have arctic, 2048 2048, terragenesis,, snow line 7, mountainous, very rough, low, improved, none
05:42:48 <Elukka> and this one is my... third sprite or something
05:44:48 <Diablo-D3> wonder if it was the seed
05:44:54 <Diablo-D3> I changed the seed and very low is a tad better
05:46:48 <Diablo-D3> btw, does openttd have a height limit?
05:47:04 <pjpe> which is why there's a patch to make more height levels
05:47:39 <Diablo-D3> I dunno, I just think it'd be fun to scale gigantic mountains
05:47:57 <pjpe> there's a patch for that
05:48:09 <Diablo-D3> yeah, but why hasnt the patch been comitted? ;)
05:48:25 <pjpe> same reason other things aren't committed
05:48:32 <pjpe> maybe the guy hasn't bothered trying to get it applied
05:48:37 <pjpe> maybe there's some gameplay issues somewhere
05:49:00 <Diablo-D3> what revision control does ottd use?
05:49:12 <Diablo-D3> people need to use git!
05:49:28 <pjpe> what is the big downside in openttd for using svn right now
05:49:56 <Diablo-D3> git makes it 50 times easier for people to write code and 50 times easier for upstream to merge it
05:50:27 <pjpe> not sure that's the reason why height controls isn't in trunk
05:50:31 <pjpe> you can use git for the code
05:50:39 <pjpe> there are git mirrors it's just hosted mainly using svn
05:51:07 <Diablo-D3> yeah but theres nothing quite like throwing it up on github and making everything easy
05:51:20 <pjpe> how would that help get more patches in though
05:51:37 <Diablo-D3> because people can easily produce new branches
05:52:01 <Diablo-D3> seriously, for almost every large product that switched to git, the number of patches submitted and merged has gone radically up
05:52:06 <Diablo-D3> which is a good thing
05:52:07 <planetmaker> the source control software hardly has an impact there
05:52:25 <pjpe> say some other greetings every once in a while
05:52:33 <pjpe> through in a hallelujah every once in a while
05:52:39 <planetmaker> source code of openttd is available via svn, hg and git
05:52:59 <planetmaker> like halleluja?! :-)
05:57:47 <pjpe> how impractical would it be to switch to git though
05:58:03 <Diablo-D3> many projects have switched
05:58:24 <Diablo-D3> its not like anyone else in here has much experience on the subject
05:58:42 <pjpe> well planemaker answers like every question in here
05:58:45 <pjpe> and does a lot of developing
05:58:56 <pjpe> he seems to know why everything does or doesn't happen
06:02:43 <planetmaker> svn has the advanatage to have unique and easy-to-read version numbers
06:03:09 <planetmaker> Many patches and additions are developed from hg or git repos
06:03:16 <Diablo-D3> you can do that with git too, planetmaker
06:03:46 <planetmaker> dvcs don't have svn's nice and easy sequential versions
06:04:08 <Diablo-D3> no, git can output the tag as part of the revision number
06:04:14 <Diablo-D3> and dvcs ARE unique names
06:04:26 <Diablo-D3> since git uses the sha256 signature of the commit
06:04:48 <Diablo-D3> also, uh, maybe loading a 400mb png in gimp isnt a good idea

07:04:30 <appe> i kind of gave up on this make-my-own-grf idea.
07:04:44 <appe> it's ok. im really, really tired.
07:05:09 <Markk> I woke up at 4.20 AM and was at work at 7 AM.
07:05:26 <appe> swedish time? or are you at home? :)
07:05:52 <appe> < Markk> Swedish meal time.
07:06:59 *** norbert79 has joined #openttd
07:15:12 <norbert79> Morning everyone. Just for your interest: Lovely pictures about New York, from 1941, IN COLOUR
07:17:50 <pjpe> always makes it look so colourful and happy
07:18:17 <norbert79> Exactly. Such ones are really rare, even for more western countries
07:18:26 <norbert79> Those used to be very expensive
07:18:46 <Markk> "The page you have requested does not exist or is no longer available."
07:18:58 <norbert79> I also enjoy such pictures and recordings, when the recording isa in colour yet colour film wasn't wiedely available :)
07:19:13 <norbert79> Markk: Must be an error on your side, pjpe can see them
07:20:19 <norbert79> You can almost feel the mood on those pictures.
07:25:35 <V453000> makes me want to go back in time really
07:25:44 <V453000> true, there was no openttd at that time, but ..
07:26:07 <pjpe> you'd have more pressing concerns
07:26:20 <norbert79> I wish sometimes also being able going back there just for a week or two, despite all the complications, like clothing, money, and such
07:26:59 <norbert79> pjpe: Those are from 1941, there was no regulations back in place, which forced everyone joining
07:27:09 <norbert79> US just got hit at Pearl Harbour
07:27:16 <pjpe> well i'm guessing he would be in germany
07:27:34 <pjpe> unless we're all going back to 1940's new york
07:27:40 <pjpe> i'd rather go to 1940's toronto
07:27:41 <norbert79> 1941. Germany just attacked the UK, France taken, Jugoslavia, Barbarossa, Greece
07:27:46 <pjpe> do pretty much what i do now
07:28:17 <norbert79> And let's not forget about El Alamein
07:28:22 <norbert79> Toronto would be also nice
07:29:22 <norbert79> Damn you war, why do you spoil our time-travelling plans? :)
07:30:35 <pjpe> well as a canadian pretty much every time after 1945 would be good
07:30:37 <norbert79> What about the 1930's era? Booze just got banned... You can see Al Capone in person...
07:31:25 <norbert79> pjpe: Well, I would pick 1945.12.31 as date, since war is just over...
07:31:38 <norbert79> or Christmas of 1945
07:31:53 <pjpe> i could go to the 80's and meet my parents!
07:32:12 <pjpe> i mean before they had kids
07:32:31 <norbert79> lol? "i mean before they had kids" - This means you :)
07:32:46 <planetmaker> sure you'd find it 'cool'?
07:32:48 <pjpe> kids kinda cramp your cool
07:33:06 <norbert79> pjpe: I am also a father of 2, and I still get around OK I guess. Nah, they don't. Being a proud father of an 11 year old and a 3 month old
07:33:41 <pjpe> when's the last time you walked in to a club and everyone stopped and turned
07:33:45 <planetmaker> 'cool' in a kid's eyes is entirely different from 'cool' in a parent's eyes. Even when they're 20 years younger
07:34:21 <norbert79> planetmaker: Well, luckily my son thinks different. He enjoys the time we play together on the console, and we share lot of common things.
07:34:52 <norbert79> planetmaker: Not many kids can call their parents geeks, and so we are both :D
07:34:59 <norbert79> pjpe: "stopped and turned" ? What do you mean by that?
07:35:51 <norbert79> pjpe: Explanation would be easier for me, youtube is kinda edgy at the place where I sit atm.
07:36:03 <planetmaker> that doesn't contradict my statement really, norbert79 ;-)
07:36:47 <pjpe> because you're so cool that everyone's heads turn
07:36:49 <norbert79> planetmaker: Aw, come on, I even understand those Anime my son is watching. :)
07:37:13 <norbert79> pjpe: Why does this count? I mean I never really wanted to be cool, I always just wanted to be myself.
07:37:15 <planetmaker> understand != think it's cool
07:37:48 <norbert79> pjpe: Never really cared for what others think, and if I looked for directions, I have always asked.
07:38:00 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
07:38:22 <norbert79> pjpe: I am not critisizing, I just try to really understand, why is this so important being so cool, that everyone turns back?
07:38:36 <pjpe> nothing i wasn't being very serious
07:39:39 <planetmaker> norbert79: one doesn't need an airconditioning when one is soooo cool :-P
07:40:01 <norbert79> planetmaker: Lol...
07:40:19 <norbert79> planetmaker: Good for one during summertime.
07:40:33 <planetmaker> depends on the level of coolness :-P
07:40:58 <norbert79> planetmaker: well worst case one will apply for a job as CPU cooler
07:41:26 <planetmaker> that's an understatement ;-) Coolhouse maintainer :-P
07:42:32 <norbert79> pjpe: Nerd, indeed, but such nerds are employed by highly advanced scientific teams/companies. :)
07:42:55 <norbert79> pjpe: Besides, without Math OpenTTD couldn't also exist :P
07:43:24 <pjpe> when i was that age i was doing more important and cooler things
07:43:36 <norbert79> pjpe: So did I.. Go on...
07:43:47 <pjpe> and now i'm in comp sci and probably a nerd
07:44:31 <norbert79> pjpe: Be proud of it, because you can call yourself lucky being employed at the one thing you are good at.
07:45:46 <norbert79> pjpe: Besides, knowing Star Trek by heart isn't a bad thing either. Thanks to Star Trek Motorola was the first phone-maker, who designed the first shell-like phones, the same like seen in TOS

07:51:04 <Markk> They varies from the 1920's to 1960's for the pictures to the left and then the same place today.
07:51:18 <norbert79> Markk: Nice one, thank you
07:52:06 <norbert79> Markk: When did Sweden switch between left and right side driving?
07:52:31 <norbert79> Markk: I see, thank you
07:52:32 <Markk> norbert79: 3 of September I think.
07:52:54 <Markk> uh, thttp://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsv.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FStockholmsfotografier_d%25C3%25A5_och_nu_i_f%25C3%25A4rg
07:53:02 <Markk> The first one was in German.
07:53:09 <norbert79> I am fine with both :)
07:53:45 <Markk> It's quite interesting to see how much (or little) that have changed over the past decade.
07:54:14 <norbert79> Markk: While I watch these pictures, I think I rather have the perfect song to them: FC Kahuna - Hayling
07:54:30 <norbert79> Markk: You will find it on Youtube for sure... :)
07:55:20 <Markk> I'm listening to it right now.
07:55:26 <Markk> And yeah, i can see what you're meaning.

08:01:39 <norbert79> Oh my god Eddi got cloned... :)
08:03:43 <Markk> norbert79: That's another song that fits moments like this perfect.
08:05:07 <norbert79> Markk: Hmm, a bit too 'fast', it's not for 'still life', but it would rather sound good on the street, while cars are passing by
08:05:34 *** Devroush has joined #openttd
08:05:51 <Markk> Yes, I found this song through a cool video.
08:05:58 <Markk> But I can't seem to find the video atm. :/
08:06:10 *** Devroush has joined #openttd
08:25:28 *** Eddi|zuHause2 has joined #openttd
08:44:24 <planetmaker> hm... I should be able to jump an action 1 and 2, shouldn't I?
08:45:54 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
08:52:52 *** Zeknurn has joined #openttd
09:13:01 <Yexo> although openttd will allow you to skip an action 2, ttdpatch will crash according to the wiki if you try that
09:14:24 <planetmaker> hm... ok... let's see
09:14:45 <planetmaker> my ogfxe_extra doesn't behave as it should either. Or I have a wrong action7
09:16:14 <planetmaker> in any case I need to skip action0 :-)

09:34:15 <Chris_Booth> I keep getting 504's from www.openttd.org
09:34:48 <planetmaker> yes, you're not alone with that
09:35:08 <planetmaker> unfortunately, I have to say
09:35:44 <Chris_Booth> lol, you poor people. your get just die? or something more major?
09:37:35 <Chris_Booth> that makes less than no sense lol, let me try again
09:37:45 <Chris_Booth> lol, you poor people. your server just die? or something more major?
09:38:08 <planetmaker> actually neither. But something not configured somewhere as it should
09:38:25 <planetmaker> and currently people who can fix it are sleeping ;-)
09:39:01 <Chris_Booth> aah, so they are either lazy or from the otherside of the world

09:54:52 *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause
09:56:24 <Diablo-D3> a 28 tile long station
09:56:46 <norbert79> planetmaker: Direct IP call for the webpage ends up in Not found. Looks like the hosting side has some issues.
09:57:45 <MNIM> my XL station is usually 29 (with buffer, lol)
09:57:47 <Noldo> what is Direct IP call?
09:58:23 <MNIM> though I haven't built one in a while as Ive been playing mountainous games lately
09:58:38 <Diablo-D3> MNIM: well i turned it up to 4x the default
09:58:52 <Noldo> if there are virtual hosts that is completely different address
09:59:01 <planetmaker> but that might due to the proxy not having a webserver ;-)
09:59:30 <planetmaker> and there's such different VM, yes
09:59:36 <^Spike^> i guess more the proxy not having a index.html pm ;)
10:00:22 <planetmaker> I don't know what it has or has not in detail. But I'm sure it has as little as feasible ;-)
10:00:31 <norbert79> planetmaker: Either way, noone can access the site, even if sub-domain or sub-ip or whatever. :)
10:00:44 <planetmaker> oh, bug tracker works ;-)
10:01:07 <norbert79> planetmaker: Well, you can at least open up a bug on not being able accessing the site :D
10:01:19 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
10:01:24 <^Spike^> bug trackers work great for that ;)
10:01:36 <^Spike^> or other systems... as we have @ ottdc ;)
10:02:29 <Diablo-D3> >monkey sound from tropics
10:03:03 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: I am very familiar with that timeframe of Germany, and I also have a 3 part series of colored war-recordings, which was done by private civilian individuals, and was in colour too. I also saw "Panorama", Goebbels last propaganda material too, yet I will take a look, it might be I have missed some :)
10:04:30 <Eddi|zuHause> Diablo-D3: that train is only like 5 tiles
10:04:39 <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: Thank you for the link!
10:05:06 <Diablo-D3> Eddi|zuHause: what is?
10:05:26 <Eddi|zuHause> Diablo-D3: from my link above
10:05:34 <Diablo-D3> my comment was unrelated
10:05:56 <Diablo-D3> so, Im using industrial stations renewal... which station do I deliver livestock to?
10:06:12 <Diablo-D3> it doesnt seem right that I deliver it to a livestock station, since the graphics wont trigger
10:10:35 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, I fear your conversation partner Elukka isn't around ;-)
10:10:46 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: whatever :)
10:12:58 <planetmaker> well, I just wanted to agree with your statement wrt that train... but a bit pointless when it doesn't reach the intended audience ;-)
10:13:33 <Eddi|zuHause> that's a common problem when your time zones are out of synch :)
10:13:35 <planetmaker> so... maybe we should start adding some graphics? Would that meanwhile work?
10:13:50 <planetmaker> or do we still have to decide on the wagon length?
10:13:58 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: i'm not done employing the odd-length templates
10:14:29 *** Prof_Frink has joined #openttd
10:14:29 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: when all artists are drawing for the 12lu-variant, there's not much point arguing against it
10:14:49 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: odd as in 5lu/7lu/9lu etc.
10:17:58 <planetmaker> hm, so 12lu for full-length wagons is decided?
10:18:17 <Eddi|zuHause> 26,5m wagons would be 13lu then
10:18:28 <planetmaker> that's a modern wagon length, right?
10:19:02 <Eddi|zuHause> ICE-TD heads are ~28m, so 14lu
10:19:07 <planetmaker> I tested the current cets a few days ago... what will be different with the <whatever> patches applied?
10:19:32 <Diablo-D3> does anyone here use industrial station renewal?
10:19:43 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: the first notable patch will make the train window and group windows show always the --- view
10:20:44 <Eddi|zuHause> the second notable effect will (currently) be with the 14-16lu wagons
10:21:00 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, are the patches somewhere linked / mentioned in a cets issue?
10:21:34 <Eddi|zuHause> the third notable effect will be that we slice up the sprites into 8lu parts, to make it less glitchy around bridges/tunnels/slopes, etc.
10:21:38 <planetmaker> If not... could you do me that favour :-) Like external dependency
10:21:42 <Eddi|zuHause> but that part is not done yet
10:22:03 <planetmaker> I didn't find it. But maybe I was just blind :-)

10:33:36 <Diablo-D3> does shit just cost dramatically more in the past?
10:33:55 <planetmaker> yeah. It was used as fertilizer back then
10:34:27 <Diablo-D3> seriously, Im trying to start in 1870
10:34:30 <Diablo-D3> and I fail every time
10:37:16 <lugo> with inflation on or off?
10:39:28 <planetmaker> well, then there'll be no inflation in 2040 anymore ;-)
10:41:05 <lugo> well some newgrfs such as ukrs and nars recommend inflation to be turned off, that might be your problem..
10:41:23 <peter1138> i can't change my desktop wallpaper... cos it's win 7 starter... :S
10:41:53 <planetmaker> lugo, how and why would they recommend that?
10:42:47 <Diablo-D3> peter1138: just install debian.
10:47:44 <peter1138> OpenTTD 1.1.3 (Not Responding)
10:48:51 <peter1138> do we decompress the save game in the main thread?
10:48:57 <peter1138> (when joining a server)
10:56:59 <planetmaker> hm, I saw a certain peter join a certain server :-P

11:17:46 <Diablo-D3> I cant find leave station when any cargo is full
11:23:34 <Diablo-D3> planetmaker: but theres no global setting for this?
11:26:05 <planetmaker> yes. we need definitely a global setting like 'now all vehicles should do <this>'
11:26:34 <planetmaker> please read the wiki about order menu
11:26:46 <Diablo-D3> yes Im already aware of the order menu
11:26:53 <Diablo-D3> since Ive been using for several years and all
11:27:09 <planetmaker> obviously you don't know it enough nor its short-cuts
11:27:24 <planetmaker> or you wouldn't have asked these questions
11:27:41 <planetmaker> But I forgot. You know everything already
11:27:47 <Diablo-D3> there are a few defaults in ottd, dude.

12:55:28 <Eddi|zuHause> regional elections in berlin
12:55:38 <Eddi|zuHause> this sunday, i think
13:02:11 <planetmaker> I doubt it'll come to that big success
13:02:25 <planetmaker> The more is written about it now, the smaller the success ;-)
13:03:01 <MNIM> I honestly admit I voted for them at the latest euro elections >.>
13:03:01 <planetmaker> In the community elections here last Sunday they made it into many town councils, too, though
13:03:23 <MNIM> personally I think that's where they'll make the biggest difference
13:03:50 <planetmaker> their grass-root approach is appealing
13:04:12 <MNIM> especially with how german and dutch politics work
13:05:18 <Eddi|zuHause> let's see if they make it above the 5% boundary.
13:05:34 <Eddi|zuHause> it's a very necessary step in the development of the party
13:05:47 <Eddi|zuHause> if they don't make it in berlin, i don't see how they could make it anywhere else
13:06:49 <MNIM> hmmhh, well, berlin isn't the only modern city with a relatively young populace in this continent
13:06:53 <planetmaker> Hamburg and Bremen might work out. But Hamburg just had election recently
13:07:06 <Eddi|zuHause> both hamburg and bremen voted recently
13:07:09 <planetmaker> MNIM, no, but it's a fedaral state in Gemrany on its own
13:07:23 <planetmaker> thus getting some power there gives some influence even at federal level
13:07:27 <MNIM> ah yes, forgot that little detail
13:07:27 <Eddi|zuHause> and the pirate party were around 2% each time
13:08:09 <Eddi|zuHause> since the euro election, pirate party was pretty stable around 2%
13:08:13 <MNIM> the pirate party is quite active in germany, isn't it?
13:08:32 <MNIM> I've even gotten flyers and all last time I was in germany
13:08:34 <Eddi|zuHause> in all regional elections and the federal election
13:08:34 <planetmaker> it's still a small one
13:08:55 <planetmaker> But seems to be at the same level now as FDP :-P
13:08:59 <Eddi|zuHause> 2% is far away from the 5% mark that you need to get into a parliament
13:09:22 <planetmaker> MNIM, well, indeed. They got on average in the local elections more than FDP here in lower saxony
13:09:30 <Eddi|zuHause> but it's above the 1% mark that you need to get financial boost for the next election
13:11:54 <MNIM> I wish them luck, really
13:12:21 <MNIM> getting into berlin would probably be national news, and would be a lot of free publicity for the whole country
13:12:50 <MNIM> perhaps even europe, but then it'll need to be big indeed
13:13:49 <MNIM> at least in the netherlands german federal elections hit our news sometimes
13:15:12 <planetmaker> well. National elections in another EU country usually are in the news
13:15:43 <hanf> yeah I would imagine the bbc would report something like that
13:15:54 * planetmaker rarely listens to BBC...
13:16:20 <planetmaker> not that they're bad, they're actually usually very good. But it wouldn't be my national news ;-)
13:16:40 <MNIM> meh, national elections definately hit the news, but germany has a little more attention to the dutch news, being our closest and biggest trade partner and all
13:16:55 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm fairly sure danish elections were in a lot of news yesterday or today
13:17:07 <hanf> I don't really have a choice :p I'm british
13:17:16 <MNIM> hmmmh, not in ours as far as Im aware
13:17:17 <planetmaker> oh, Dutch elections last time were more than 10s report, too
13:17:26 <peter1138> wow & lol... it's against the EULA of windows 7 starter to change the desktop background...
13:17:31 <planetmaker> I haven't heart much of Danish elections yesterday
13:17:43 <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: haha :p
13:17:59 <Diablo-D3> "remove car at end on engine upgrade" should automatically add/remove cabooses and break vans
13:18:08 <MNIM> ah yes, our latest national elections. they were a bit of an election, yes, but not quite like the belgians can do it!
13:18:25 <Eddi|zuHause> Diablo-D3: and how do you suggest the game should figure out what a caboose is?
13:18:37 <Diablo-D3> Eddi|zuHause: have a flag for it :D
13:18:48 <MNIM> what does that function actually do?
13:18:50 <Eddi|zuHause> i mean: Diablo-D3 how do you propose adjusting callback 18 to make any sense
13:19:06 <MNIM> well, obviously it removes a car, but why and how?
13:19:07 <Diablo-D3> Eddi|zuHause: honestly, I'd rather have nars and urks let me turn it off
13:19:20 <Diablo-D3> it seems to be the easier solution
13:19:32 <Diablo-D3> because the engines that need it should just make it part of the engine
13:19:38 <Diablo-D3> because we have double ended engines
13:19:43 <Eddi|zuHause> Diablo-D3: callback 18 is the "AI train construction" callback
13:20:05 <Diablo-D3> Eddi|zuHause: yes, but I am not an AI, and even I dont quite get it
13:20:21 <Eddi|zuHause> Diablo-D3: caboose/brake van is usually not necessary on very short train
13:20:39 <Eddi|zuHause> Diablo-D3: automatic wagon removal is quite an AI task
13:20:59 <Diablo-D3> Im using long trains, and it bitches that I dont have one installed
13:21:07 <Diablo-D3> and nars and ukrs2 arent cross compatible
13:21:18 <Eddi|zuHause> why should they...
13:21:20 <Diablo-D3> so if I have a break van, I have to switch to a caboose on engine change
13:21:20 *** andythenorth has left #openttd

13:33:01 <Diablo-D3> MNIM: I wonder how many people play that way
13:33:08 <Diablo-D3> instead of just brutally cutting through mountains
13:33:25 <Eddi|zuHause> Diablo-D3: ever checked the screenshot forum?
13:33:31 <planetmaker> MNIM, the empty roads are... dull
13:33:32 <MNIM> actually, a large part of that mountain range is created actually for that purpose
13:33:37 <planetmaker> Just let the town grow ;-)
13:33:54 <MNIM> Im more of a sandbox model trains player :P
13:34:07 <planetmaker> and the track set... could use some snow improvement
13:34:19 <MNIM> the town is hardly a year old
13:34:34 <MNIM> so no bus service is put up yet
13:35:33 <planetmaker> which roads are those? TTRS?
13:35:54 <MNIM> they're not compatible with opengfx+ alpine climate
13:36:00 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't like TTRS for large number of reasons
13:38:48 <V453000> well, there are many newGRFs that wont like if you use landscape replacements :)
13:40:09 <Eddi|zuHause> that's why i use a hacked alpine set and default roads
13:41:03 <MNIM> yeah, but you've pretty much made most of 'em >.>

13:42:45 <Eddi|zuHause> Saudi Arabia says: if USA veto creation of palestine state, they cancel cooperation with the USA
13:43:30 <norbert79> No wonder, Izrael was cut off from Palestina, now they even don't consider Palestina as a country anymore...
13:43:42 <norbert79> No wonder SA is angry
13:45:21 <Eddi|zuHause> context: after years of failed talks with israel about forming a palestine state, palestine authorities announced that they will ask UN to accept creation of palestine state without israel's consent, towards end of september 2011.
13:51:59 <Eddi|zuHause> as far as i heard, there is an alternative to the full UN membership, which would have to go through security council, where they apply for a lesser "non-membership state with observer rights" (a status similar to vatican's), which "only" has to be accepted by the general assembly
13:52:04 <perk111> can someone tell me if there is any overflow depot working with pf.yapf.rail_firstred_twoway_eol set to off?
13:52:33 <Eddi|zuHause> perk111: yes, i think you can do some magic with exit signals
13:54:30 <perk111> I spent 3 hours trying to find any working configuration :(
13:54:52 * Diablo-D3 ponders ditching nars and ukrs
13:54:54 <Eddi|zuHause> perk111: could be
13:55:13 <Diablo-D3> the vastly different sizes of engines makes automated play too difficult
13:55:25 <Eddi|zuHause> perk111: the trick is that firstred_exit_penalty is significantly higher than depot_reverse_penalty
14:06:17 <Eddi|zuHause> perk111: i think this should work: www.informatik.uni-halle/~krause/Unnamed,%2017.%20Maer%201922.png

14:30:00 <MNIM> all I know of that can be changed is the date format
14:31:02 <Eddi|zuHause> btw. you should enable "check timetables: all except stopped vehicles"
14:32:55 <MNIM> that's supposed to be a little historical exhibit :P
14:36:22 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, nothing wrong with that

16:52:26 <Eddi|zuHause> if you tell people to not use PBS, i can tell people to not use maglev.
16:52:39 <V453000> certainly but you dont have any reasons for it
16:53:00 <appe> i dont really understand why not to use maglev, but.. it's rather boring.
16:53:02 <Eddi|zuHause> first and foremost, maglev looks ugly
16:53:10 <appe> the normal railway trains are fantasticly more fun

16:53:38 <Eddi|zuHause> third, it's "unrealistic"
16:54:19 <V453000> conversion can be solved either by starting late, or using universal engine
16:54:27 <V453000> unrealistic is not a reason but a proof of no reason

17:21:08 <Eddi|zuHause> although i did prepare a track for a proposed maglev line in my last game, i just didn't get that far
17:22:50 <Eddi|zuHause> hm, when i watch "Ringer" and constantly think "when are the vampires jumping out", what am i doing wrong? :)
17:24:21 <valhallasw> hmm. "disk space required: 6GB. disk space available: 2GB". No portal for me -_-
17:26:27 <Rubidium> valhallasw: remove 4GB worth of OpenTTD savegames?
