IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2011-12-05
⏴ go to previous day
03:10:21 *** Nite_Owl has joined #openttd
03:17:13 <Nite_Owl> Any ye ole developer types still around ??
03:19:17 <Nite_Owl> Always the wrong time of day for me...
03:19:42 <Nite_Owl> or is it "wrong time of night" ?
03:24:52 *** rhaeder has joined #openttd
03:27:39 <Nite_Owl> Anyhoot - there is a serious game crashing flaw in tonight's compiled nightly release (r23432). Open the "available trains" drop down and as you click down the list, at some point, the game will crash. I tried this with several train sets. I suspect that the culprit might be commit 23419 as it is the only commit dealing with sprites but I could be wrong. The previously released compiled...
03:27:41 <Nite_Owl> ...nightly (23401) works correctly.
03:31:01 <Nite_Owl> This should be easily repeatable for anyone giving it a try. Hopefully someone will read the logs at a more reasonable hour for your part of the world and see this info. I will try and be around at a more reasonable hour tomorrow should more info be needed.
03:33:13 <Nite_Owl> If needed I will do the Flyspray thing as a last resort but this should be easy to duplicate. Later all.

07:18:15 <planetmaker> usually the direction anti-parallel to the gravitational vector
07:30:00 <SpComb> today is a silly monday that doesn't actually exist
07:30:15 <V453000> oh great I am not going anywhere nor going to do any work then :D
07:30:38 <SpComb> because tomorrow is a national holiday and yesterday was sunday
07:31:40 <V453000> hm I cant seem to replicate the bug Nite_Owl talked about at 04:27 CET :z
07:47:01 <peter1138> the joy of "easily reproducible" bugs
07:59:57 <planetmaker> I'd like a bug report with a step-by-step on how to reproduce with a crash log, Xaroth
08:02:46 <Xaroth> planetmaker: wait what?
08:02:59 <Xaroth> I'm not going to figure that all out
08:03:03 <Xaroth> i got a LoL game to play! :P
08:03:32 <planetmaker> I can read the irc fine. But it's 100% pointless without more info or a crash log
08:03:38 <planetmaker> could as well not have been written
08:04:54 <planetmaker> if one cannot reproduce it
08:04:59 <planetmaker> which I can't either
08:08:30 <V453000> I was actually scrolling through train lists all evening yesterday and I did not encounter any "serious game crashing flaw" as he refered to
08:19:16 <appe> does ttd always create a crash log?
08:23:52 <planetmaker> ttd has no such feature
08:28:26 <appe> and where do you mean this should come from?
08:30:26 <Yexo> appe: ttd usually refers to "transport tycoon deluxe", not to OpenTTD
08:31:28 <planetmaker> openttd usually does when it crashes
08:31:54 <appe> i was refering to ottd. :)
08:33:01 <planetmaker> you should say what you mean otherwise you'll never mean what you say ;-)
08:35:37 <planetmaker> Lachie: ttdp iirc has also some sort of crash log
08:48:25 <Lachie> that was more of a rhetorical question mark
08:49:24 *** Progman has joined #openttd
08:56:57 *** Celestar has joined #openttd
09:02:08 <Eddi|zuHause> why is there always a cat sleeping wherever i want to sit down?
09:02:47 <peter1138> because you haven't got rid of it yet
09:04:00 <peter1138> hmm, back in the office after 2 weeks off
09:04:56 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: "Hunde haben Herrchen, Katzen haben Personal" ;-)
09:08:35 <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause: how many cats you got?
09:24:37 <Lachie> I love cats. When we get a place that allows pets myself and the girlfriend are going to buy one
09:26:03 <Eddi|zuHause> where do you find places that don't allow pets?
09:27:16 * Eddi|zuHause never heard about that
09:28:57 <planetmaker> in Germany you cannot disallow a cat iirc
09:29:07 <planetmaker> though you can disallow a dog
09:29:21 <Lachie> wish we had German rental laws then.
09:29:53 <planetmaker> but as usual: ianal
09:30:07 <Lachie> but the whole layout of the place isn't particularly pet-friendly regardless
09:31:44 <peter1138> telnet to imap server:
09:31:46 <peter1138> * BYE Connection refused
09:32:01 <peter1138> well no, you accepted the connection, then closed it...
09:34:52 <Lachie> alright, ECS, FIRS, what's more popular with the kids these days?
09:36:15 <Lachie> that's what I use still, but I understand people like having a ridiculous amount of cargos
09:38:28 <Celestar> plain basic industries?
09:38:58 <Lachie> Pikka's Base Industries?
09:44:40 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
09:45:53 <Lachie> Could ofcourse just pick the 32 cargoes I feel would be most useful in the Australian climate and define them first
09:47:38 <peter1138> passengers, mail, lager, lager, lager, lager, lager, bruce
09:48:16 <peter1138> Lachie, define them first? are you talking refit masks?
09:49:38 <Sacro> peter1138: what happened to pikka's industries :(
09:49:45 <Lachie> and we like a good Draught too
09:50:33 <peter1138> you can have 255 labels, iirc
09:51:02 <Eddi|zuHause> Lachie: if you restrict your GRF to OpenTTD 1.2 (nightly and above) then there's no need to stick to 32 cargos
09:51:48 <Lachie> considering the time it's going to take to bring the NSW Set back up to release standard, that's not a bad idea.
09:51:58 <Eddi|zuHause> below that, it's only the refit mask that has that limit
09:52:35 <Lachie> it may well be OTTD 4.7 by the time I actually get this released
09:53:25 <peter1138> i remember seeing the landscape several years ago
09:53:50 <Lachie> yeah, that's still kicking around.
09:54:08 <peter1138> it should be released :S
09:54:13 <peter1138> and stuck on bananas
09:54:23 <Lachie> the problem with the landscape is that the graphics aren't actually complete.
09:56:57 <Lachie> and while I don't mind my skill at recolouring train sprites and doing the odd original bit, drawing landscape tiles is beyond my skills and, to be completely honest tedious as fuck
10:07:05 <planetmaker> which landscape? The australian?
10:10:48 <planetmaker> But I may only use that on the condition that I write a completely separate NewGRF. Well. That's not going to happen
10:12:36 <peter1138> strange license terms?
10:12:42 <planetmaker> the graphics have no license
10:12:53 <planetmaker> and I asked the artist and concurrently implemented it
10:13:03 <planetmaker> and was done when I received that reply ;-)
10:13:26 <planetmaker> The graphics have been laying around for 5 years. I now know why
10:14:29 <planetmaker> it would be released by now as savannah 'climate', if I'd had been given a 'sure, please do'
10:14:48 <peter1138> what was the exact response? heh
10:15:38 <Lachie> this is an interesting development.
10:16:11 <Lachie> yeah, those graphics come under my managerial wing
10:16:34 <Lachie> never knew you wanted them though
10:17:28 <Lachie> but yeah, the only reason they weren't released years ago is because they aren't strictly complete
10:18:05 <Lachie> they're also meant to be temperate graphics :P
10:18:31 <planetmaker> Lachie: complete or not. I'd have done all necessary work myself to make it a complete landscape set
10:18:51 <planetmaker> I actually had done that, it just would need a few more exports from the graphics file
10:19:18 <planetmaker> no further coding work except a bit copy&paste required. Everything already templated
10:19:18 <Lachie> indeed. well, a complete release isn't that far away, so rejoice.
10:19:38 <Lachie> the whole thing's coded on my end, just needed a few extra pieces
10:20:12 <planetmaker> well. IMHO it doesn't make the response better ;-)
10:20:33 <peter1138> how is it tied into opengf?
10:20:45 <planetmaker> by the name of the landscape newgrf
10:20:59 <planetmaker> which will give you wanter in opengfx style then
10:21:17 <Lachie> I understand where he's coming from though. I really hope I'm not creating animosity, I appreciate OpenGFX and how it's improved OTTD
10:21:24 <planetmaker> and actually roads and rails, too
10:21:59 <Lachie> but it's always been, from an end user point of view, as something made by faceless people. coalroads has done a beautiful job on the graphics and he deserves full credit for it.
10:22:08 <planetmaker> Lachie: the preference of whatever base set doesn't lend this response good reason.
10:22:24 <planetmaker> Anyone is free to take my code, and modify it and attach additional / other sprites
10:22:28 <planetmaker> little work to do.
10:22:37 <planetmaker> But it's arrogant to assume I'll do that work, too
10:23:08 <planetmaker> "faceless people"?
10:23:42 <planetmaker> you think credits are not given?
10:23:43 <Lachie> put it this way. I don't know anyone who's worked on the OpenGFX. I assume from this discussion that you have, but I never knew before this instance.
10:24:35 <Eddi|zuHause> i agree, putting an "opengfx" label on your grf makes it very unpersonal
10:25:04 <planetmaker> And how could that be changed?
10:25:22 <planetmaker> why does it make it unpersonal?
10:26:01 <planetmaker> of course, no single NewGRF covers what OpenGFX covers. Has to cover
10:26:05 <V453000> if you have a newgrf with only 1 name under it, it is more obvious who did what I guess
10:26:15 <Eddi|zuHause> if you say "alpine climate" you have an immediate association "by MB"
10:26:25 <Eddi|zuHause> if you say "opengfx landscape" there is nothing
10:26:32 <Eddi|zuHause> it's an anonymous mass
10:26:46 <peter1138> + SetRoadType(t, ROADTYPESTORE_SECOND, rt2);
10:26:51 <peter1138> i guess this is my roadtypes code...
10:27:11 <Lachie> honest answer. It just seems like each GFX is just another opengfx set
10:27:27 <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: is that an "oh, i found what i was searching for 2 weeks ago" :p
10:27:43 <peter1138> although it is in a dir called "trunk"
10:27:58 <Eddi|zuHause> it's not like that ever meant anything :p
10:28:46 <Lachie> my wording's poor at this time of the night. Spend all day creating english and now I have no capability to write anything resembling sense.
10:29:09 <peter1138> hmm, and my attempt at delaunay/voronoi
10:29:20 <planetmaker> well. But sounds like I just should scrap OpenGFX*. And leave ;-)
10:29:22 <Lachie> what I mean is, there's a certain... anonymity about anything under the guise of OpenGFX
10:29:30 <planetmaker> Not appreciated. Anonymous. Pointless
10:29:40 <planetmaker> And considered bad. Not worth to contribute
10:29:46 <Lachie> you completely disregarded the very first thing I said befoer I started talking about this.
10:29:53 <planetmaker> That's the attitude communicated. Frequently
10:30:02 <peter1138> opengfx is kinda anonymous
10:30:15 <peter1138> i don't think that's anything bad though
10:30:33 <Eddi|zuHause> nobody said that it's bad
10:31:18 <Eddi|zuHause> but i mean that i understand why some artists don't want to throw their stuff in there
10:31:27 <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, it can easily be taken as implied
10:31:54 <peter1138> personally i prefer the original graphics, but i think opengfx is fantastic too
10:32:18 <peter1138> part of that is no doubt a "what i'm used to" thing too
10:32:26 <Lachie> at first I preferred the original graphics but now I use OpenGFX. I prefer it now.
10:32:34 <Lachie> indeed, it's a bit of a change.
10:33:29 <peter1138> now that we had a text viewer, who wants to implement support for hyperlinks? :D
10:35:02 <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: implement a html browser :)

11:02:09 <Lachie> I'm a tiny bit turned around by the syntax in an NML cargo table. The idea I'm getting is that it goes (eg) like PASS [, COAL [, MAIL [, etc etc etc?
11:02:35 <Yexo> cargotable { PASS, COAL, MAIL }
11:02:51 <Yexo> [] is used in the documentation to indicate that part is optional
11:02:56 <Eddi|zuHause> [] in the syntax means "this part can be left out"
11:03:13 <Lachie> ah. that would explain why it made no sense to me. cheers. :)
11:06:53 <planetmaker> Yexo: the line in macos.mm:123 must read [ [ NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace ] openURL:[ NSURL URLWithString:[ NSString stringWithUTF8String:url ] ] ];
11:07:18 <Yexo> ok, that was pretty much a guess based on a simple search
11:07:59 <Eddi|zuHause> i have no idea how to read objective c
11:09:11 <planetmaker> [ NSxxx blah:blub ] is the same as NSxxx::blah(blub)
11:18:47 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
11:29:43 <planetmaker> in any case, the patch to view the website before download works well for me, Yexo ;-)
11:30:06 <planetmaker> it even opens the page as I would want in a tab, thus obeys my browser's default settings well
11:30:42 <Yexo> there is no code yet for linux, and that is the hardest case I think
11:31:04 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd
11:31:40 <planetmaker> would still help 85% of the players ;-)
11:31:43 <peter1138> DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome"
11:31:53 <peter1138> what's that for kde/etc ?
11:32:08 <peter1138> if DESKTOP_SESSION == "gnome" then gnome-open url
11:32:15 <peter1138> if DESKTOP_SESSION == "kde" then do kde's thing
11:32:35 <peter1138> else ... erm... something else? heh
11:33:34 <peter1138> oh, xdg-open's a good choice
11:33:44 <peter1138> should be fairly standard these days
11:33:45 <Yexo> kfmclient exec <url> <- I think that for kde
11:33:50 <planetmaker> I have no such variable here, peter1138
11:33:57 <peter1138> planetmaker, what OS?
11:34:13 <Yexo> planetmaker: do you have either GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID or KDE_FULL_SESSION?
11:34:13 <peter1138> do you have xdg-open?
11:35:02 <Yexo> oh, there is also "sensible-browser" and "x-www-browser" to chose from
11:35:06 <planetmaker> KDE_BUILD_GLOBAL_SYCOCA, KDE_USE_IPV6 and KDE_USE_IDN... nothing else related to my DE
11:35:07 <peter1138> they're debian things
11:35:40 <peter1138> planetmaker, that's silly :)
11:35:42 <planetmaker> I have a WINDOWMANAGER variable
11:35:46 <peter1138> planetmaker, no xdg-open?
11:35:59 <planetmaker> I do have that, yes
11:36:07 <peter1138> i vote for just using that
11:36:44 <planetmaker> indeed, looks like that's tailored for exactly that purpose
11:37:05 <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: 19.2307692308

11:38:34 <peter1138> it is the truest of the brainy ones
11:39:19 <TrueBrain> who? where? what? when? why?
11:39:29 <planetmaker> questionable content
11:42:11 <peter1138> planetmaker, your landscape has dots on it?
11:42:47 <planetmaker> in that screenshot: yes
11:42:56 <planetmaker> missing grid sprites
11:43:02 <planetmaker> thus the transparent ? icon
11:43:44 <planetmaker> cba to compile that just for the test
11:53:30 *** Wolfsherz has joined #openttd
11:56:35 <Eddi|zuHause> it always strikes me as odd every year that the dutch celebrate "nikolaus" one day early
11:59:54 <peter1138> they're dutch, say no more
12:09:26 *** Nite_Owl has joined #openttd
12:18:54 *** DayDreamer has joined #openttd
12:29:17 <peter1138> good news: roadtypes is too far gone, it needs to be rewritten
12:29:30 <Nite_Owl> Any Development Team Members around ?
12:29:56 <andythenorth> peter1138: watertypes
12:30:40 <Nite_Owl> Are you aware of the fatal flaw in yesterday's compiled nightly ?
12:31:08 <peter1138> you need to post your crash files
12:32:26 <planetmaker> Nite_Owl, always make a bug report about such things
12:32:32 <andythenorth> we need fast flowing or slow flowing rivers :P
12:32:52 <andythenorth> we actually found a valid case for watertypes
12:33:15 <peter1138> oh, water classes are full
12:33:16 <planetmaker> and tell us how we can reproduce your crash as part of the report
12:35:03 <peter1138> you didn't the first time :)
12:36:20 <planetmaker> Nite_Owl, your description as on IRC didn't allow anyone to reproduce it
12:37:12 <planetmaker> thus be more specific
12:40:11 <peter1138> signals are obvious at 2x :)
12:40:24 <Nite_Owl> "Open the "available trains" drop down and as you click down the list, at some point, the game will crash." Sorry I left something out - Set the year to 2050 so that the drop down list is very long. As you click on trains near the bottom of the list you get the crash.
12:40:55 <Nite_Owl> I will try and reproduce it again - give me a few minutes
12:41:08 <andythenorth> ship canals + non-ship canals
12:41:11 <peter1138> nope, no crash here
12:41:11 <andythenorth> maybe that was it
12:41:30 <andythenorth> and also let logs go down rapids
12:42:30 <Nite_Owl> I just got it to crash again - will post the files
12:44:41 <Nite_Owl> Dang it - the full screen shrank and it will not let me out of the crash to create the files
12:47:21 <planetmaker> if the list is very long, you're most likely also using a particular NewGRF. Important info which also is contained in the crash files
12:47:59 <Nite_Owl> I cannot get out to generate the crash files
12:48:19 <peter1138> openttd generates them itself
12:48:59 <planetmaker> should do so yes.
12:49:11 <planetmaker> Only in rare cases when the crash handler also crashes
12:50:02 <planetmaker> you should find them near your openttd.cfg
12:50:16 <Nite_Owl> Error - assertion fail - clicking on 'OK' or the red X will not close it - if I do it another way the files will not be generated
12:51:00 <planetmaker> an assertion fail is always more verbose already as it says where it fails
12:51:42 <planetmaker> if you can't get the crash files: take your savegame and give detailed instructions how we crash that savegame
12:53:34 <Nite_Owl> Assertion failed at line 1686 of... \src\window.cpp: w->nested_root->resize_y==0 || new_yinc % w->nested_root->resize_y ==0
12:54:39 <Nite_Owl> No save game - brand new game just started to test the crash which is the same circumstance that it occurred originally
12:54:43 <Yexo> are you using a custom font?
12:55:42 <Nite_Owl> small_size = 10 medium_size = 12 large_size = 14
12:57:55 <Nite_Owl> I closed it in Task Manager and got the crash files. Do you still want me to post them?
13:16:19 <Nite_Owl> Let me know if you need more information. I tried to get in everything I could think of that was relevant.

13:18:42 <peter1138> i would guess r23429
13:23:04 <Nite_Owl> Clicking on a train would move a window beyond the main window boundaries? Could be tied into the code somehow I guess.

14:15:42 <peter1138> that's why it's better to just post the report instead of speculate ;)
14:19:23 <Nite_Owl> True - I had hoped it would be something obvious though...
14:27:15 <Belugas> hello Nite_Owl. been a while i've noticed you :)
14:28:05 <Eddi|zuHause> that must be because of the time shift :p
14:28:33 <Nite_Owl> Life has been taking up a lot of my time lately. It will be calling me in about half an hour.
14:28:41 <Eddi|zuHause> like Rubidium and Celestar_ don't live in the same time zone either :)
14:29:24 <planetmaker> Nite_Owl, as long as _life_ is calling you, you should be fine ;-)
14:29:31 <planetmaker> I'll only worry, if it's not life :-P

14:40:10 <TGYoshi> Triangles are so awful :)
14:41:01 <planetmaker> you mean voxels, peter1138

16:07:45 <peter1138> and what to do with the simple blitters...
16:07:52 *** Wolfsherz has joined #openttd
16:08:16 * planetmaker gives peter1138 an EZ sprite. And a cookie
16:33:38 <Rubidium> peter1138: why would ez sprites influence the blitters? Shouldn't it all be done in the loader?
16:34:11 <peter1138> if we add support for supplying different zoom levels, it matters a lot
16:34:54 <Rubidium> but they currently already zoom in and out, right? So it's just zooming a different amount, or am I missing some very important point?
16:35:37 <peter1138> -simple blitters don't, they zoom out when they draw
16:37:22 <peter1138> well, could be adjust i suppose
16:38:22 <Rubidium> trashing the sprite cache would probably be bad when zooming in/out, right?
16:39:46 <Rubidium> then I'd go for using the most zoomed in sprite and scaling that for the simple blitter, and some lines of documentation and maybe removal of the simple blitters when not a DEBUG build

17:23:49 <grondo> how i do to leave if i play online?
17:24:03 <planetmaker> the same way as in single player
17:24:26 <planetmaker> ctrl+w or 'leave game' from the main menu (disk icon)
17:24:56 <planetmaker> or ctrl+q to quit completely
17:25:14 <grondo> are somewone from sweaden here?
17:26:04 <Arkabzol> I'm so-so about speaking other languages in crowds.
17:26:12 <Arkabzol> Even if there wasn't a rule about that.
17:26:50 <grondo> im not good to speak english here
17:27:00 <planetmaker> ^ has some nice tutorial for the first steps, IMHO
17:27:36 <planetmaker> we're working on an ingame tutorial :D
17:28:15 <Belugas> i speak english not good too. but I do practice. and hey.. man... after a while, i'm almost like a native speaker! Guess they are right when they say practice makes perfect!

17:28:32 <planetmaker> hehe, Belugas :-)
17:29:28 <Belugas> sounds like an add ;)
17:29:28 <grondo> im gonna play minecraft now bye!
17:29:52 <Arkabzol> OpenTTD clone in Minecraft. Now I'm getting bad ideas.
17:30:31 <Belugas> Why clone it? Use minecraft!
17:30:57 <Arkabzol> OpenTTD like it is... but in Minecraft.

17:57:53 <Belugas> I wonder if it would possible to ask the guys of Minecraft to do it like OpenTTD...
17:58:38 <planetmaker> which would be...?
17:58:40 <Kogut> please, define "guys of Minecraft" and "it"
17:59:23 <appe> i guess he is refering to ..trains
17:59:52 <TrueBrain> I think he listens to too much Bloodhungang
18:04:17 <Kogut> @Yexo "dbg:[misc][squirrel] Failed to compile '...\info.nut'" Is it possible to receive info what is wrong?
18:08:14 <Kogut> unfortunately, it is impossible to run ai as it is not recognised by openttd
18:10:25 <glx> anyway info.nut is very basic, it's hard to fail to write it ;)
18:11:29 <TrueBrain> Kogut: check for missng ;
18:16:49 <Yexo> Kogut: the failure reason should be in the same console window as that line
18:17:37 <glx> and before that line if I read the source correctly
18:19:06 <Kogut> it is appearing in stable (1.1.4, but not in trunk 23432)
18:19:09 *** SpComb^ is now known as SpComb
18:19:42 <loss> how do you play transport tycoon?
18:20:42 <Yexo> perhaps you're using AICONFIG_DEVELOPER instead of CONFIG_DEVELOPER?
18:20:49 <Yexo> that was recently changed in trunk
18:21:20 <loss> i mean where to download the full game, i don't get how you download it lol
18:21:40 <Yexo> loss: which os are you using?
18:21:55 <Yexo> operating system, probably windows
18:22:14 <Yexo> download the installer and run it
18:22:26 <Yexo> don't forget to enable the "download opengfx / opensfx" during installation
18:23:44 <Kogut> @Yexo - I fixed this problem (CONFIG_DEVELOPER), but in trunk it still silently failes and in 1.1.4 it complains about undefined properties
18:24:06 <Yexo> can you upload it somewhere?
18:24:13 <TrueBrain> that switch is trunk only, is it not?
18:24:19 <Yexo> CONFIG_DEVELOPER is not valid in 1.1.4 btw
18:24:48 <loss> yexo how come you have a yellow star next to your name :o?
18:25:16 <Yexo> loss: become I'm marked as "operator" for this irc channel I guess, it depends on your client how it shows that
18:27:25 <Kogut> @Yexo - info.nut failed due to lack of medium_value = something, what was permitted in earlier version
18:27:58 <Yexo> can you provide an info.nut that works in 1.1 but not in trunk?
18:28:04 <Kogut> but still there is something strange as I receive console window, what is broken in the trunk
18:32:08 *** __ln_____ has joined #openttd
18:32:27 <Kogut> I created folder named "bug" in ai folder, with empty file info.nut inside
18:32:56 <Kogut> started openttd, recent trunk (23432) - without console
18:33:23 <Kogut> started openttd, recent stable (1.1.4) - console appeared
18:33:43 <Yexo> do you start the stable 1.1.4 through a link?
18:33:52 *** Phoenix_the_II has joined #openttd
18:33:54 <Yexo> if you start it with "openttd.exe -d" a console will appear
18:34:10 <glx> debug build have console without -d
18:34:31 <Kogut> "do you start the stable 1.1.4 through a link?" - no, but I opened trunk through shortcut
18:34:49 <Yexo> is your 1.1.4 build a debug build?
18:34:59 <Kogut> running exe results in openttd starting with a console
18:35:20 <glx> then your shortcut adds the -d
18:35:29 <Kogut> <s>running exe results in openttd starting with a console</s>
18:36:35 <Kogut> still, running openttd with a broken info.nut: 1.1.4 results in game window+console window, trunk - only console window
18:36:39 <loss> where the graphics options?
18:37:04 <Yexo> loss: what "graphic options" are you refering to?
18:37:37 <glx> Kogut: you compiled 1.1.4 yourself ?
18:38:04 <loss> full screen, resolution etc
18:38:06 <Kogut> I will try with fresh openttd
18:38:40 <planetmaker> loss: in the game options
18:39:25 <planetmaker> has our wiki been recommended to you? ;-) wiki.openttd.org
18:39:45 <Yexo> Kogut: just downloaded the 32bit 1.1.4 from openttd,org, added an ai "bug" with empty info.nut, but no console opens
18:40:06 *** Phoenix_the_II has quit IRC

18:43:50 <LordAro> wouldn't know what that means :P
18:44:03 <LordAro> but ping is returning 'unknown host'

18:49:54 <Kogut> @Devs - what happened with location of openttd files? it was in C:\Users\username\documents\openttd (and still should be, according to readme.txt)
18:50:13 <LordAro> loss: no, just more complicated thatyour average fps ;)
18:50:19 <Kogut> @loss - try loooooooong, unrealistic train line hauling coal
18:51:09 <MNIM> train lines hauling coal can be really long.
18:51:10 <planetmaker> loss: hard? Most people complain after a few games about too much money too easily ;-)
18:51:29 <planetmaker> ho, that even exists as guide on the wiki. nice
18:52:21 <loss> its hard to get use to it all :P
18:52:23 <Kogut> What happened with location of downloaded newgrfs? it was in C:\Users\username\documents\openttd (and still should be, according to readme.txt) [windows 7]
18:53:13 <Rubidium> Kogut: nothing happened to that. Though... the readme defines quite a few extra locations
18:53:38 <Rubidium> it primarily depends on the location of the config file
18:53:46 <Kogut> well, it is getting ridiculous. I found it
18:55:23 *** mahmoud has joined #openttd
18:57:53 *** LordPixaII has joined #openttd
18:59:23 <Kogut> it is getting funnier and funnier. In fresh install of 1.1.4 broken info.nut is completely ignored
18:59:55 <Yexo> that is exactly as it should be
19:00:13 <Yexo> that is, if you force a console window it should show in there
19:00:35 <Kogut> even in ~ console, even with ai_developer_tools setting
19:00:53 <Yexo> ai_developer_tools is completely irrelevant
19:01:02 <Yexo> the openttd-internal console is not the right one
19:02:01 <Kogut> what is quite confusing. During making of my first AI my battle with info.nut was victorious but way too long
19:02:20 <Yexo> hmm, something does seem to be wrong
19:02:28 <Kogut> mainly due to "and now info.nut compilations will silently fail"
19:03:32 <Kogut> maybe it is hard to change (squirrel etc) but it may be really nice
19:08:58 <Kogut> and somehow it works now (thanks for info about CONFIG_DEVELOPER it was one of the problems)
19:09:43 <loss> this game is way to confusing, trying to get trains and bus moving
19:10:07 <Yexo> loss: did you follow the tutorial on the wiki?

20:21:19 <Yexo> it's been suggested to rename "OpenTTD AIs" to "OpenTTD Scripts", but that's not yet done
20:21:25 <Yexo> feel free to post in there though
20:22:51 <frosch123> Nite_Owl: the window resizes itself when it needs more space for the addtional text
20:23:01 <frosch123> if it then becomes higher than the ottd window, it crashes
20:23:13 <frosch123> so, just do not resize the list too high

20:24:21 <Zuu> a bit yes, but I'm unsure about the arcitecture, so I think I'll post what I got along with some questions.
20:24:33 <planetmaker> Zuu: I wonder whether we sh/could start an experiment repo ;-)
20:24:41 <planetmaker> would get me a bit started.

20:50:57 <Zuu> Maybe you can move the posts in the NoGo thread over to that thread?
21:00:02 <Zuu> I'm currently temped to say godbye to save/loading tutorial and go for a simple code layout.
21:10:36 <planetmaker> simple is fine for me :-)
21:10:59 <planetmaker> the tutorial should probably be simple, single steps
21:11:10 <planetmaker> you meant with save/load the memory where one left?
21:14:42 <TrueBrain> maybe also move out the idea of accident recovery vehicles? :)
21:14:51 <TrueBrain> I love the idea, but it is a bit misplaced inside NoGo, in the size if grew
21:17:39 <andythenorth> seems like GS could easily become a scope monster :D
21:17:47 <andythenorth> and the all purpose solution to every pony :P
21:19:28 <planetmaker> TrueBrain: the idea of the accident recovery vehicle is nice. But IMHO for now a bit out-of-scope. Or maybe not out-of-scope but something for later
21:19:43 <TrueBrain> planetmaker: that is what I mean :)
21:19:50 <TrueBrain> so to make sure it doesnt get lost, maybe move it to its own thread?
21:19:55 <planetmaker> I was just confirming you :-)
21:20:21 <andythenorth> it won't get lost :)
21:20:22 <TrueBrain> it really would be an epic eye-candy :D
21:20:26 <planetmaker> maybe a split would be nice
21:20:34 <andythenorth> if it's a good idea it will be remembered, or suggested again
21:20:36 <TrueBrain> well, andythenorth just promised it wont get lost, so :P
21:20:50 <TrueBrain> saves me splitting the topic :D
21:20:55 <TrueBrain> I hate that ... forum software .. ugh ..
21:20:58 <andythenorth> unfortunately 'suggested again' also applies to bad ideas :P
21:21:17 <planetmaker> no. 4D. with voxels
21:21:31 <planetmaker> 3D would be boring. No time progression. Just full rotation
