07:01:38 <andythenorth> planetmaker: how is the FIRS supplies algorithm rework coming along?
07:02:11 <andythenorth> based on my current game, I think it's going to be the right way to go
07:02:19 <andythenorth> (current game is with the old mechanic)
07:02:38 <andythenorth> current game is flooded with ENSP and FMSP
07:03:26 <andythenorth> I won't get time to help with it until next week :|
07:04:11 <andythenorth> we'll figure it out
07:04:21 <andythenorth> hopefully next week I have some ttd time
07:04:28 <planetmaker> I might not continue till next week either
07:04:29 <andythenorth> this week is a working-hard week
07:04:39 * andythenorth now has to go to work :)

08:01:28 <dihedral> not seen you in a long time
08:02:17 <norbert79> Hmm, new Firefox 7 seems no different from 6 so far... I am curious on the memory usage
08:04:30 <Brianetta> I didn't notice any change, but there it is.
08:05:02 <norbert79> PPA repository already offered, so I upgraded
08:05:28 <norbert79> Can't see any visual changes
08:08:17 *** beijingguy has joined #openttd
08:10:23 <norbert79> btw good morning Brianetta
08:16:22 <norbert79> Oh, the trimmed URLs... browser.urlbar.trimURLs -> false, and everything back to old style :)
08:16:58 <norbert79> yes, FF7 doesn't show http:// anymore
08:17:52 <planetmaker> well. not needed, is it?
08:18:02 <norbert79> I do need it. I am just used to it
08:18:05 <planetmaker> especially as cmd+c copies it with the http://
08:18:12 <peter1138> chrome started doing that ages ago
08:18:21 <norbert79> besides, I know, that https is still shown, but I am also using ftp:// too, and very rare gopher:// too
08:18:42 <peter1138> i'm just saying where they stole that idea from
08:18:56 <planetmaker> well, it shows ftp:/ - so you'll know
08:18:58 <norbert79> It's not really stealing, but luckily it can be turned off
08:19:51 <peter1138> handy. i don't think you can turn it off in chrome
08:21:27 <planetmaker> but what I really find handy is the different gray shades for the domain and rest of URL.
08:21:32 <planetmaker> But that was already in ff6
08:21:56 <norbert79> peter1138: I used Chrome for a bit, but the whole layout annoyed me, could never get friendly with it
08:22:25 <norbert79> peter1138: And I disliked the mthod how it handled 'Tab's... Using seperated memory segments for each, growing memory usage fast to several hundred MB
08:22:54 <planetmaker> My FF uses 300MB, too...
08:23:03 <planetmaker> Nearly right after start
08:26:11 <norbert79> mine started with 87
08:26:19 <norbert79> how many plugins do you have?
08:27:17 <planetmaker> I guess too many... 9
08:31:03 <norbert79> Well, I also have a few, it seems it depends on they type of the plugins/addons you have :)
08:31:48 <norbert79> Guess "Hack the internet" plugin indeed takes a lot of your RAM planetmaker
08:32:06 <planetmaker> yeah. Maybe firebug
08:33:20 *** beijingguy has left #openttd
08:34:53 <planetmaker> well... de-activating firebug, collusion and chatzilla reduced the start-up memory fingerprint by 150MB
08:38:03 <peter1138> nobody except us optimises for memory these days
08:42:28 <norbert79> peter1138: Not true, LibreOffice is also pretty good at it
08:42:34 <norbert79> peter1138: So there is competition :)
08:43:00 <planetmaker> FF said they reduced the memory print by 30% between FF6 and FF7
08:43:07 <planetmaker> or something along those lines
08:43:27 <norbert79> planetmaker: Don't see any difference, unless they refer to the fact, that FF7 drops the memory used, when not needed.
08:43:46 <norbert79> well, yet they need to work on it
08:44:26 <peter1138> oh yeah, i need to try that
08:44:42 <norbert79> I just love how the acroread plugin gets stuck within Firefox when not used anymore
08:44:54 <norbert79> It also did the same under Windows and Linux too
08:45:51 <peter1138> oh, it's not in squeeze proper :S
08:47:05 <norbert79> peter1138: I also use the Mozilla Team PPA for Ubuntu for grabbing FF7
08:48:06 <peter1138> i don't sully my system with ubuntu crap
08:49:36 <norbert79> peter1138: Well, I wouldn't call Ubuntu crap for my system. Moved from office XP to Ubuntu, system seems to be twice as fast, yet it's an older T60
08:50:19 <norbert79> peter1138: Memory usage is also within the acceptable range, boots up fast, suspend/sleep works, hibaernation too...
08:50:52 <norbert79> peter1138: The only problems caused by the systems was with pulseaudio, but some minor tuning solved that too
08:51:38 <norbert79> peter1138: It wasn't pleasent with Gutsy, but that was still ok.
08:51:48 <norbert79> peter1138: Now using Lucid.

12:33:49 <Elukka> hm. NARS gets kinda boring once the diesel era starts, everything's so samey
12:34:01 <Elukka> not NARS' fault, more that of the real thing :P
13:31:53 *** tangledlisa has joined #openttd
13:42:02 <Elukka> what's the chances of a slower town growth option being implemented?
13:42:04 <Elukka> even low is quite fats
13:46:06 <Terkhen> Elukka: right now slim :P
13:46:39 <Elukka> i'd rather not turn it completely off , though that could maybe work as a stopgap
13:46:58 <Terkhen> you can also disable "towns build roads"
13:47:35 <__ln__> Elukka: what are the intended characters surrounding the word 'off' in your sentence?
13:47:46 <Elukka> it's supposed to be italics
13:47:50 <Elukka> i guess it might not work outside mirc
13:48:06 <norbert79> Xchat supports only underline and bold
13:48:07 <planetmaker> indeed. "town build roads" is probably a good option
13:48:09 <Elukka> in my experience if an irc client doesn't support bold or italics it just doesn't show
13:48:37 <norbert79> No italic for XCHat though
13:48:50 <planetmaker> nor for limechat ;-)
13:49:00 <norbert79> UnderlineNo underline
13:49:09 * planetmaker sees maybe italics only this way
13:49:09 <peter1138> not many terminals support italics
13:49:35 <norbert79> ¿ʇɥbıɹ 'sʞɹoʍ 8-ɟʇn ʇnq
13:54:50 <peter1138> echo -e '\e[3mitalics\e[m'
13:55:13 <peter1138> works in rxvt-unicode
13:55:26 <peter1138> don't think irssi can do it though
13:56:40 <norbert79> "\026\037o\037ne \037t\037wo \037t\037hree"
14:03:24 <norbert79> Elukka: How does this appear at you? Test
14:04:59 <Elukka> "Test" is white text with black around it
14:05:30 <norbert79> Elukka: Good... Thanks!
14:06:40 <peter1138> test in black text with white around it
14:07:08 <norbert79> peter1138: so it works for you like for me... Either way it's the reverse code
14:08:49 <peter1138> once upon a time i knew how to switch from 16 foreground/8 background + flashing to 16 foreground/16 background colours
14:08:58 <peter1138> in text mode on a pc
14:09:05 <peter1138> now it's totally irrelevant :p
14:10:27 <norbert79> peter1138: like this?
14:10:33 <peter1138> there used to be a border colour too
14:10:52 <norbert79> Not being shown in colour for you then
14:11:18 <peter1138> well, no not like that then
14:11:43 <norbert79> What client do you use peter1138 ?
14:13:25 <norbert79> I see = I understand
14:14:33 <PeanutHorst> ah, I love idioms :)
14:16:52 <Elukka> made a coal load, somewhat different to drawing the same in a sprite :P
14:20:03 <Elukka> crumpled paper, cardboard, sand, paint
14:20:08 <Elukka> wanted to keep it removable
14:20:46 <norbert79> If it would been me i would have used real coal... Just because I am too lame creating fake coal
14:21:12 <Elukka> i didn't have any handy
14:21:20 <Elukka> this seems easier anyway
14:22:40 <Elukka> ...now to make 12 more
14:22:48 <norbert79> I would have mixed real sand with some black paint... I wonder if that could have worked
14:23:25 <Elukka> i wanted to do that for track ballast but couldn't make the paint adhere to the sand
14:23:43 <norbert79> ahha... not even regular black?
14:23:49 <Elukka> not sure, i tried brown
14:24:09 <Elukka> oh yeah, i mixed some heavily diluted white glue to it so that the sand/coal is one solid block
14:24:16 <norbert79> paint still might make it sticky though
14:24:30 <Elukka> i wanted some method of coloring loose sand
14:24:42 <Elukka> i could then sprinkle on different colors
14:24:46 <norbert79> it's somehow to be made, I have seen coloured sand...
14:24:48 <Elukka> but i didn't figure out a way to do it
14:26:33 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
14:33:45 <Elukka> the problem with raw sand even if it could be the right color is that sand has a fair amount of translucent particles
14:33:56 <Elukka> that's ultimately what makes it look like it's just out-of-scale sand
14:34:24 <norbert79> Hmm, I would still try to take a look on these coloured sand packages
14:34:35 <norbert79> Or just use a bowl and colour on my own :)
14:34:54 <Elukka> would have to know the grain size
14:35:06 <norbert79> you can still put some gravel inside
14:35:08 <Elukka> from what i figured it needs to be 0.5 mm at the largest
14:35:23 <Elukka> i dunno how you'd get paint to adhere to it in a bowl
14:35:46 <Elukka> some kids' craft guide suggests food coloring
14:37:04 <norbert79> Might be a good idea
14:37:30 <Elukka> oh found a more detailed guide
14:38:14 <Elukka> tempera might be better, probably easier to find/mix a variety of greys and browns
14:38:50 <norbert79> Tempera isn't that good, it goes off with time
14:39:02 <norbert79> and since it goes off in small portions it can fly everywhere
14:39:16 <norbert79> used to paint a model once when I started building those as a kid
14:39:21 <norbert79> and with time it wore off
14:39:29 <norbert79> was a messy thing cleaning off
14:39:48 <norbert79> so I use regular modell/maquett paint
14:39:58 *** TWerkhoven has joined #openttd
14:40:18 <Elukka> one thing i've considered tempera for is weathering
14:40:22 <Elukka> precisely because it can be washed off
14:40:46 <Elukka> i mean i can hold a paint brush but i'm not confident enough in my skills to permanently paint a 200 euro model
14:41:47 <norbert79> Well, I was merely thinking on using regular paint, put it into a small glass/canister/whatever, and fill it with sand and stir it for long enough
14:41:59 <norbert79> so it gets coloured well
14:42:16 <norbert79> and doesn't get sticky
14:43:08 <Elukka> might have to try that
14:43:18 <norbert79> worth trying with smaller ammount
14:46:49 <norbert79> Need to rush.. later

17:32:50 <IchGuckLive> Eichendorf wont let me build another trackstation
17:33:12 <Elu> due to the local authority?
17:33:39 <IchGuckLive> as you see in the lower left
17:33:44 <IchGuckLive> the mood is perfect
17:34:00 <Elukka> well, i don't understand german :D
17:34:09 <Elukka> do you get any message when trying to build it?
17:34:39 <IchGuckLive> i dod it wirh STRG and ther is no station in the frame
17:34:47 <IchGuckLive> seen left of the Map
17:35:11 <IchGuckLive> i did it with STRG and there is no station in the frame
17:36:13 <IchGuckLive> maybe i sgoudt deliver the stuff by Truck to a station on the watertower
17:36:54 <IchGuckLive> the message is the station is to big
17:37:32 <Elukka> you need to increase max station size in advanced settings
17:38:08 <IchGuckLive> all other citys take 4 trackstation
17:38:10 <Elukka> since it's connected to the bus stop essentially all those tiles in between count
17:38:37 <IchGuckLive> oh i try to build inside
17:39:13 <IchGuckLive> i diddent now that B) inside is working
17:39:32 <Elukka> you can still increase max station spread if you want to expand it
17:39:45 <__ln__> 20:34 < Elukka> well, i don't understand german :D <-- what, why not?
17:40:25 <IchGuckLive> Elukka: is this a cheed or normal stuff
17:40:42 <Elukka> click the gaer icon, go to advanced settings, it's... somewhere in there
17:41:21 <IchGuckLive> thannks for that info

18:37:49 <Wolf01> that's a common reality here
18:38:27 <Wolf01> we usually have one working ticket vending machine every 5 stations
18:38:47 <__ln__> Wolf01: really? the trenitalia vending machines worked fine the last time i used them.
18:38:53 <Elukka> this is why you beta test
18:39:07 <__ln__> but no wonder they worked fine, as the machines were running OS/2.
18:39:07 <Wolf01> maybe you was on big stations

22:56:12 <Eddi|zuHause> so we now issue warnings to people that they will get a warning?
22:56:57 <Pinkbeast> I detect some context missing here
23:18:43 <Yexo> 3 warnings = temp ban, 4th warning = ban. His post was (imo) not a direct reason to issue a warning, but he's going a bit too far
continue to next day ⏵
