00:03:48 <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: 6.23076923077
00:35:35 <Eddi|zuHause> what did i do wrong when i get: openttd: /home/johannes/spiele/OpenTTD/trunk/src/settings_gui.cpp:1039: void SettingEntry::Init(byte, bool): Assertion `this->d.entry.setting != __null' failed.
00:35:48 <Eddi|zuHause> when opening the settings window
00:35:52 <Eddi|zuHause> (i added a setting)
00:36:47 <Yexo> name mismatch between the setting in settings_gui.cpp and in settings_type.h?
01:00:30 <Eddi|zuHause> www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~krause/town_space2.diff <-- the grids seem to work, but i must have done something wrong with the "natural" layouts. the towns never get larger than about 5x5
01:05:03 <Eddi|zuHause> ah... i think i found it... testing
01:07:46 <Eddi|zuHause> fixed, same link
01:09:00 <Eddi|zuHause> (issue was mising brackets around trinary operator)
01:09:54 <Eddi|zuHause> anyone fancy fixing the found town gui?
01:14:03 <Eddi|zuHause> i should probably do this against an up to date trunk :p
01:18:13 <Eddi|zuHause> *test* *poch* *poch* ... is this thing on?
01:27:07 <Eddi|zuHause> damn. i'll delete all my work then and start from scratch
01:45:13 <nicfer> can I make a newgrf without graphics with NML?
01:47:16 <nicfer> I mean, all being code
01:53:30 <nicfer> I'm going to make a grf that moves all maglevs to monorail
01:55:00 <nicfer> also adding some new vehicles using the subtropical graphics
02:07:20 <Eddi|zuHause> sure, that's possible
02:21:37 <nicfer> a bit OffTopic, what nogo release is 'h6058373d-nogo'?
02:25:30 <Eddi|zuHause> i can't think of an answer that's not a tautology

08:30:27 <peter1138> urgh, definitely done something to my shoulders/upper back :S
08:30:47 <planetmaker> ehm... hi dihedral
08:31:32 <peter1138> carrying 8 * 23kg boxes upstairs apparently did it for me :S
08:31:35 <planetmaker> tab completion is up :-P
08:31:52 <dihedral> the line from Terkhen is
08:31:53 <DDR> Yay! I lurvs tab completion!
08:32:21 <dihedral> i love crtl+r in bash
08:32:39 <planetmaker> peter1138: do it more often and you'll be fine even afterwards ;-)
08:33:03 <dihedral> or simply have it amputated if it annoys you :-P

12:12:09 <peter1138> i'm testing EZ sprites
12:12:29 <peter1138> or will do, once the 32bit-gfx-nightly-megapack-2011-06-15.tar downloads
12:12:33 <peter1138> 38.9MB ~ 100KB/s :(
12:17:56 <peter1138> of course, they're quite ugly, but i can't fix that ;)

13:02:07 <planetmaker> peter1138, I'm pondering to start a 'real' 32bpp base set or to add that maybe even directly to OpenGFX. Not yet sure what makes sense
13:02:17 <planetmaker> definitely not all existing 32bpp EZ sprites do
13:03:56 <Terkhen> that would be nice :)
13:04:27 <peter1138> 32bpp-optimized/anim are crashing :(
13:06:20 <planetmaker> but I'd definitely like bananas support for that...
13:08:41 <planetmaker> until then I guess I'll have to supply the "standard package" via bananas and the "extended package" via DevZone
13:12:20 <planetmaker> Mostly it'll need a graphics artist to really work on that, too
13:12:27 <planetmaker> To make it all a bit consistent
13:28:00 <peter1138> if dst > dst_ln... i've done something wrong. hmm.
13:28:39 <peter1138> i somehow doubt there are 2.5 million pixels in this row...
13:38:58 *** TWerkhoven has joined #openttd
13:39:27 <Amis> Is it possible to turn on "Funding only" for industries when the game is already running? (like through console or something)
13:40:49 <planetmaker> look up your openttd.cfg
13:40:56 <planetmaker> set settingname value
13:41:25 <planetmaker> or on servers via rcon set settingname value
13:41:43 <planetmaker> I probably miss some quotes
13:42:20 <planetmaker> in SP you can of course change it directly via GUI
13:42:22 <Amis> I guess it's "number_industries" and zero is the value of funding only
13:42:57 <Amis> Then "industry_density"?
13:43:28 <planetmaker> raw_industry_construction
13:43:37 <planetmaker> you can always fund secondary ones
13:43:47 <Amis> Oh, you may misunderstood me
13:44:05 <Amis> I'm looking for the one at map generation
13:44:12 <Amis> Not how you can fund industries
13:44:44 <planetmaker> on a server or in single player?
13:44:45 <Amis> The number of industries (very low, low, etc...) when generating a new map
13:44:53 <glx> so you don't want any industries at start
13:45:24 <Amis> No, I have this map running but the rate at the industries spawn is kinda high and I want to disabled the spawning of new industries
13:45:32 <Amis> Only player should create industries now
13:45:53 <planetmaker> then the settings you said are the correct ones. Not sure though that changing them has an effect
13:47:01 <Amis> Great, "number_industries" is unknown and density one is for network only :/
13:47:18 <Eddi|zuHause> "HEQ's" ... oh my eyes bleed! :/
13:48:17 <planetmaker> I nearly thought so.
13:48:51 <planetmaker> So what you want to do basically, Amis , is create a new map with no industries and no industry density, manually place in the SE a few industries, if you want and load that map
13:50:33 <glx> difficulty.industry_density
13:50:35 <Amis> planetmaker, no. I have a map already created and playing it for a while. I want to "set" the spawn rate of new industries to "Funding only" so only ME can create industries and the game won't flood my shores with stupid oil rigs and etc...
13:53:14 <Amis> I guess I have to turn on the magic bulldozer and get rid of em manually
13:55:15 <Amis> I do have some newgrfs but it does the same in a default setting. If you have minimal amount of water area around the edges and you are playing for a while (let's say 20 years) it will keep spawning new oil rigs on there so you'll end up with rigs on rigs
14:00:41 <Eddi|zuHause> we should maybe invest some time to make the difficulty settings changable ingame. e.g. max load or industry density
14:01:04 <planetmaker> The difficulty settings IMHO rather should be converted to normal settings
14:01:16 <planetmaker> Difficulty is hardly affected by them (or at least as much by other settings)
14:01:54 <planetmaker> And then maybe setting presets which could be like both, "newbie", "advanced" "all" and "easy", "moderate" "hard" as the other category
14:02:02 <Amis> Nowdays difficulty settings = kinkeh newgrfs
14:02:13 <planetmaker> and one should move over some game options there, too
14:02:34 <planetmaker> maybe I should re-activate my meanwhile ancient patch queue...
14:03:24 <Eddi|zuHause> but that is something entirely unrelated
14:05:30 <glx> won't change the fact that some newgrf read these settings on init and can cause desync if the setting is change between 2 player joins
14:06:44 <glx> that's the only reason to disable changing some settings ingame
14:09:09 <Eddi|zuHause> but that applies only to multiplayer
14:09:22 <Eddi|zuHause> the difficulty settings are also not changable in _single_ playeer
14:20:24 <peter1138> size mismatch: full-size 130 256 (33 64), scaled 32 64
14:21:22 <peter1138> trying to draw a row that doesn't exist. hmm.
14:22:49 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
14:22:55 <andythenorth> was this prototyped in ottd?
14:27:32 <peter1138> i wonder how 32bpp-EZ coped...
14:39:54 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
14:49:30 <andythenorth> my thoughts exactly
14:51:31 <planetmaker> not bad, peter1138
14:51:35 <andythenorth> some of those buildings aren't pixelated
14:51:37 <andythenorth> what's that about :P
14:51:56 <planetmaker> cheap rip-off :-P
14:52:14 <peter1138> fixed the tall 32bpp sprites being pixelates
14:52:35 <andythenorth> peter1138: are you planning to add a filter that down-samples those nasty hi-res sprites?
14:53:00 <planetmaker> normal tile size should stay authorative
14:54:04 *** DayDreamer has joined #openttd
14:56:05 <peter1138> oh, you want them blocky? heh
14:56:20 <peter1138> well, don't install the EZ sprites ;)
14:56:36 <peter1138> (i assume it's possible to have tars full of normal zoom sprites and separate tars for extra zoom)
14:57:17 <peter1138> some of these ez sprites have massive shadows that aren't drawn properly
14:57:26 <peter1138> stick out too far from the tile edge
14:57:30 *** mahmoud has joined #openttd
14:57:37 <peter1138> much likes FIR's smoke :)
14:57:39 <planetmaker> hm... shouldn't EZ sprites always have normal zoom accompany them?
14:57:56 <peter1138> planetmaker, it's not necessary
14:58:14 <planetmaker> well. Not necessary. But it will be strange
14:58:24 <planetmaker> How do I then select which EZ sprite to use?
14:58:31 <andythenorth> some of these EZ sprites are confused about where the sun is :P
14:58:32 <planetmaker> if they're not a set?
14:58:43 <planetmaker> with the concurrently used normal zoom
14:58:49 <Yexo> <peter1138> (i assume it's possible to have tars full of normal zoom sprites and separate tars for extra zoom) <- I don't think that is currently possible, but perhaps it is
14:58:58 <Yexo> don't the sprites for a newgrf have to be in the same tar file as the grf itself?
14:59:14 <planetmaker> ^^ I'd like that actually to be necessary
14:59:35 *** rhaeder has joined #openttd
14:59:40 <planetmaker> or you might very easily get WAY too many cross-talk of unwanted category
15:00:18 <peter1138> it's not currently necessary, and these 32bpp-ez sprites rely on it
15:00:35 <peter1138> anyway we scale sprites as needed
15:00:37 <Yexo> how does it work? directory name has to match the grf name?
15:00:45 <peter1138> Yexo, yup, just that
15:00:49 <planetmaker> peter1138, but how do they / should theybehave if I have two versions of them? In separate tars?
15:00:50 <peter1138> that's TrueBrain's design ;)
15:00:55 <planetmaker> I see much mayhem going there
15:00:59 <peter1138> planetmaker, buggered if i know
15:01:01 <Yexo> make the version part of the grf name
15:01:16 <planetmaker> I'd say "same tar"
15:02:37 <planetmaker> because now I forsee that I'll have newgrf or baseset v0.1 with both 8bpp and 32bpp. And then v0.2 also. And... yeah :-)
15:03:00 <andythenorth> broken FIRS smoke in high res
15:03:35 <planetmaker> Feature: High-resolution bugs
15:03:44 <planetmaker> or bugs in HD :-P
15:03:47 <peter1138> andythenorth, it's broken whatever res
15:04:00 <andythenorth> I know but it will be broken better in hi res
15:04:15 <andythenorth> more players will be attracted
15:04:56 <peter1138> this pack has a miserable 3 vehicles done
15:05:09 <planetmaker> peter1138, at the same time I'd not want the 32bpp be active when I use a NewGRF to actionA replace the sprites
15:05:45 <peter1138> i assume you know how that works
15:05:46 <planetmaker> might totally not match the actionA replaced sprite
15:05:55 <Yexo> planetmaker: if it works well the 32bpp sprites from the newgrf that uses the actionA would be loaded
15:05:59 <peter1138> it will look for 32bpp versions of the replacement sprites...
15:06:12 <peter1138> none of this is new
15:06:42 <peter1138> 32bpp sprites have always been loaded based on grf file name and sprite id within
15:07:05 <planetmaker> sorry, wasn't sure about actionA :-)
15:07:06 <peter1138> action a will of course update those, so it won't magically know how to load the original unreplaced sprite
15:07:20 <planetmaker> yes. That's goood
15:07:36 <peter1138> and that's been there since 32bpp was introduced
15:07:53 <peter1138> i'm sure you've tested it with all the 32bpp sets available :D
15:08:08 <planetmaker> but too long ago to test it all in detail :-)
15:09:13 <CIA-6> OpenTTD: yexo * r23439 /trunk/src/script/squirrel.cpp: -Fix: Use the DEBUG macro to output the reason for a compile failure in info.nut instead of printing it directly to stderr
15:11:48 <peter1138> so... still wonder how 32bpp-ez gets around this blitter issue
15:12:29 <peter1138> blitter params are set up based on the zoomed in sprite dimensions
15:12:45 <peter1138> if the zoom level sprite is a smaller, it'll read out of bounds and break
15:13:10 <Yexo> are you sure it deals properly with that? Perhaps it just added a bounds check to prevent crashes
15:13:11 <peter1138> 32bpp-ez doesn't appear to change that, but i could be missing it :)
15:13:53 <peter1138> could be hidden in their changes to GfxMainBlitter
15:15:52 <peter1138> GetSprite returns a different sprite based on the global _cur_dpi->zoom
15:16:42 <peter1138> otoh, it means gfxmainblitter has the real sprite size
15:17:03 <peter1138> i haven't changed the spritecache that way though
15:29:45 *** TGYoshi has joined #openttd
15:36:40 <peter1138> tall sprites loading
15:36:44 <peter1138> and dodgy shadows showing :p
15:36:55 <peter1138> oh, and dodgy recolour sprites
15:38:45 <Elukka> hm. somehow most 32bpp sprites look less detailed than 8 bit ones
15:38:50 <Elukka> they have that untextured 3D model look
15:40:46 <Elukka> i suppose another problem with them is that you'd need some kind of general art direction to make them look good and consistent
15:41:31 <Terkhen> since all of them would be "new" sprites, they could establish conventions such as "direction of light" and "direction of wind" that are not consistent with 8bpp
15:41:38 <Terkhen> not that I notice those details :P
15:44:51 <peter1138> apparently the sun is at about 3:10pm
15:45:47 <peter1138> how reasonable is it to require sprites to be the correct scaled size?
15:49:31 <Elukka> i think the models would need proper texturing to look really good as sprites
15:51:13 <Rubidium> peter1138: I see no reason why that couldn't be a condition for the sprites (read: I'm okay with such a requirement if is makes stuff simpler code wise)
15:51:25 <planetmaker> direction of light is - according to andy - about 4:30pm
15:51:29 <planetmaker> maybe also am ;-)
15:51:52 <planetmaker> and roughly consistent size among one sprite category makes sense imho
15:52:14 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
15:52:22 <planetmaker> 16:45 peter1138: how reasonable is it to require sprites to be the correct scaled size?
15:52:42 <planetmaker> ^^ you mean that the zoom-level sprites must be the same proportions properly scaled?
15:52:51 <planetmaker> would be fine with me, too
15:53:35 *** Celestar has joined #openttd
15:54:22 <Ammler> a common direction of light might be ok, but for wind it would rather be bad
15:56:44 <peter1138> planetmaker, don't be silly, it's dark at 4:30am ;)
15:57:01 <Elukka> it's dark at 4:30 pm now!
15:57:05 <planetmaker> Ammler: for a single set it might make sense ;-)
15:57:20 <planetmaker> I guess a common _light_ direction makes quite sense
15:57:29 <peter1138> currently if a prescaled down sprite is too small, i ignore it, and make one based on the last valid zoom level
15:58:05 <planetmaker> I thought we always want normal zoom?
15:58:17 <peter1138> prescaled as opposed to scaled by the game
16:06:31 <andythenorth> afaik the 32bpp stuff has a common light direction if they all use the same render rig
16:06:37 <andythenorth> but they've chosen a dumb direction :P
16:06:44 <andythenorth> so they're all consistently ugly
16:11:24 <andythenorth> they are toylike which is nice
16:11:40 <Rubidium> though it gives me a much higher "Thomas & friends" feel
16:12:23 <Eddi|zuHause> it emphasises the need for longer wagons :)
16:13:14 <Rubidium> or... narrower/lower vehicles
16:13:24 <Rubidium> will help with some other glitches as well ;)
16:13:25 <Eddi|zuHause> speaking of which: i'd _really_ like a newgrf property to make the bounding box longer than the vehicle
16:13:25 <andythenorth> looks like chuggington
16:13:43 <andythenorth> I'd like long ships not to disappear 32% of the time :P
16:19:43 <Eddi|zuHause> www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~krause/town_space2.diff <-- need testers, and someone who updates the found town gui
16:23:31 <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, why longer?
16:24:09 <peter1138> it will fuck up tunnels/bridges/probably-foundations/probably-crossing-tile-edges, etc..
16:24:44 <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: no, it won't. shorter bounding boxes fuck up tunnels/bridges/foundations/...
16:25:02 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
16:25:22 <Eddi|zuHause> e.g. if you use refit tricks to shorten a vehicle to 1lu to make a "shorter" consist
16:25:43 <Eddi|zuHause> this worked fine previously, but with the new shortened bounding boxes, it glitches
16:26:18 <Eddi|zuHause> HEQS trams might suffer from this (haven't checked)
16:27:10 <andythenorth> what would the glitch look like?
16:27:17 <peter1138> should allow 0lu vehicles :)
16:27:26 <peter1138> then you just bung them on the end
16:27:48 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: let it drive over a foundation or slope, the foundation will occasionally be drawn over the vehicle
16:29:18 <peter1138> if the vehicle is bigger than the bounding box, yeah
16:30:42 <peter1138> i assume the vehicle following goes crazy with 0lu vehicles ;)
16:30:52 <TGYoshi> you guys know everything so.. is it possible to split log(2x-3) so I get rid of the chain-rule? :3
16:32:53 <Hirundo> What's so bad about the chain rule?
16:33:18 <TGYoshi> Whats so great about the chain rule?
16:33:35 <Hirundo> Now provide your answer :P
16:34:18 <Hirundo> d/dx(2x-3) = 2, I don't see how that causes much writing
16:34:56 <michi_cc> Not that it would help you with the chain rule, but log(a-b) = log(a) + log(1-b/a)
16:35:04 <TGYoshi> Mwah, if I use the chain rule I gotta write all this:
16:35:17 <peter1138> hmm, not possible to have different sprite offsets either
16:36:47 <TGYoshi> michi_cc: ty, so much stuff? :/
16:37:23 <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: the other application would be my longer wagons, which are currently difficult to compose of several sprites, when they go around curves or slopes
16:39:00 <peter1138> long bounding boxes aren't going to help there
16:39:57 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, they actually are
16:40:17 <Eddi|zuHause> well, they'd be a workaround
16:40:39 <Eddi|zuHause> the other thing i need is to give a dynamic sprite offset
16:41:24 <Eddi|zuHause> as in either "draw this relative to <other vehicle>" or "apply this offset to the sprite [and use var62 to calculate the offset]

17:37:33 <Jordan> Hello, how would I go about making the icons bigger? Like 4 times bigger?
17:38:48 <planetmaker> grab the graphics programme of your choice and use the zoom algorithm of your choice and code the whole thing as NewGRF
17:39:03 <planetmaker> you might just use the BigGUI NewGRF, though
17:39:16 <planetmaker> would save you the work ;-)
17:40:41 <Jordan> okay I'll try that thanks

17:49:16 <lugo> since he has the exact same version as all other players and since the wiki reads 'Desyncs are always bugs in OpenTTD' i wonder what's happening there
17:49:28 <peter1138> 4x might be a bit much :)
17:49:33 <Yexo> you're playing with a custom patchpack, so complain in the topic for that
17:49:39 <andythenorth> oh my fingers slipped :P
17:49:57 <andythenorth> I should learn to buffer brain and fingers
17:50:10 <lugo> Yexo: yeah thought there might be some general troubleshooting steps i could do before that
17:50:30 <peter1138> nah, everyone wants glossy unmatched high resolution sprites, i'm sure
17:52:17 <lugo> so some tweaking in the [network] part of the config is not likely to do anything right?
17:52:32 <planetmaker> lugo: you can compile the game with desync debugging enabled, start the server in desync debugging mode and then analyse the MB of data it spews out
17:52:48 <planetmaker> and search where it differs from savegames from the clients taken in similar regular steps
17:53:19 <planetmaker> i.e. desync debugging is one of the least amusing bugs to fix
17:54:12 <planetmaker> as you've to compare state of client and server. And have a well-known initial state to start from)
17:55:57 <Jordan> there we go that's much better. Now I can differentiate between the buttons. :)
17:56:36 <planetmaker> Jordan: if you also play online, you might want to add that NewGRF in your openttd.cfg to the list of static newgrfs
17:56:44 <planetmaker> then it's always active
17:57:04 <lugo> thanks planetmaker, i was afraid of that...
17:57:53 <Jordan> I found the newgrf-static section in openttd.cfg but I don't know what to put
17:58:42 <planetmaker> do you have that newgrf currently in the "normal" newgrf section?
17:58:46 <planetmaker> Then just copy that line
17:59:32 <planetmaker> mind also that editing the cfg will only be effective if OpenTTD is not running
17:59:46 <planetmaker> or it'll be overwritten once you quit OpenTTD
18:00:26 <Jordan> that showed up under the newgrf section
18:01:01 <planetmaker> yep. Just move that to the static section

18:58:29 <Eddi|zuHause> possible suggestion for YACD: allow setting a percentage of cargo that will go to a random connected location (instead of choosing a completely random destination)
18:59:41 <Eddi|zuHause> so an industry will produce X% for predetermined destinations, Y% for connected destinations, and Z% for random destinations
19:00:26 <Eddi|zuHause> that may improve things in the beginning, when the predetermined destinations are not fitting well into your network
19:08:15 <Eddi|zuHause> that'd be something inbetween current YACD and CargoDist/YACDist

19:22:22 <andythenorth> I could use a collaborator
19:22:31 <andythenorth> I am endlessly fun to work with, just ask anyone round here :P
19:23:07 <Eddi|zuHause> you could adapt my generator script :)
19:23:17 <Eddi|zuHause> then all you need is a table with stats :)
19:23:59 <andythenorth> your generator script handles articulated RVs?
19:24:04 <andythenorth> maybe you adapt it :D
19:24:14 <Eddi|zuHause> it handles articulated trains
19:24:41 <andythenorth> I find your views interesting, may I subscribe to your newsletter?
19:25:04 *** awesome has joined #openttd
19:25:16 <andythenorth> that's pretty awesome
19:25:22 <awesome> hi... how do i make aserver for my friends only?
19:25:50 <Rubidium> - don't advertise it, but let your friends enter the address manually
19:25:52 <awesome> i mean how do i MAKE it?
19:26:05 <Rubidium> - ask you friends over and run a LAN only game
19:26:10 <Eddi|zuHause> set up your firewall and click on start multiplayer game
19:26:20 <Jordan> I think he means "how do you set up a server"
19:26:34 <awesome> my friend can't find the server and i have port forwarded it?
19:27:00 <Eddi|zuHause> awesome: let them input your IP
19:27:40 <Eddi|zuHause> awesome: likely you port-forwarded only TCP, not UDP
19:27:41 <Jordan> damn I have 500 passengers waiting at a bus station
19:28:05 <awesome> i port forwarded in both?
19:28:08 <Eddi|zuHause> Jordan: i think i had 15000 once :)
19:28:26 <Eddi|zuHause> awesome: i don't know what that is

19:29:51 <andythenorth> or did you not get that email?
19:29:57 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: yep :p
19:30:25 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: we did cover that in compiler construction lectures :p
19:30:32 <andythenorth> they may seem innocent, but they are really just biding their time
19:30:34 <andythenorth> waiting to bite you
19:30:43 <andythenorth> with an edge case, or complexity hell
19:30:50 * andythenorth has written code generators :P
19:31:16 <awesome> how do my friend join?
19:31:39 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: i cover edge cases with including a "custom callbacks" file
19:32:05 <andythenorth> I am trying to avoid edge cases in BANDIT - by design
19:32:15 <Jordan> oh god now there's 760 passengers
19:32:22 <andythenorth> conveniently, the edge cases can be put in HEQS, which is plain old NFO + CPP
19:32:52 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: usually i use this for some weird articulation exceptions... usual articulation is done by (AB*C)
19:33:07 <Eddi|zuHause> but i have a train that has ABC*D
19:33:07 <Joker> how did my friend join my hamachi server?
19:33:30 <Jordan> you give him your hamachi network's name and password
19:33:55 <Belugas> he prefered to be with your hamachi server than with you!
19:33:57 <Jordan> he enter's your computer's IP address
19:34:00 <Eddi|zuHause> Joker: search for LAN games?
19:34:34 <Joker> okay..... we are in a hamachi group! but how does he connect in game?
19:35:23 <Eddi|zuHause> "making something idiot proof just creates better idiots"
19:36:01 <Alberth> Joker: he picks an existing company, or creates a new one
19:38:17 <Joker> he can't find the server!
19:38:58 <planetmaker> Joker: setup your network properly and allow the proper ports to pass
19:39:00 <DorpsGek> planetmaker: OpenTTD uses TCP and UDP port 3979 for server <-> client communication, UDP port 3978 for masterserver (advertise) communication (outbound), and TCP port 3978 for content service, a.k.a. BaNaNaS (outbound)
19:39:01 <Alberth> you don't need to find it if you have its IP address
19:39:31 <planetmaker> and search the forum for it. In 99.995% the people mis-configured one or more of firewall or router
19:39:48 <planetmaker> which is something you'll have to figure out from those handbooks you got for them
19:42:12 <Jordan> oh god everyone wants to leave Nunington
19:42:25 <Jordan> >Waiting: 1635 passengers
19:42:26 <Alberth> if he cannot connect, most likely your ports are configured wrong at the router firewall, or your firewall of the machine. In theory his firewall can also mess things up, but that does not happen a lot, as normally, firewalls allow outgoing connections
19:43:06 <Alberth> oh, that is quite normal :)
19:43:17 <Jordan> what kind of hellhole is that place
19:43:33 <Alberth> your average OpenTTD town :)
19:46:51 <Alberth> Jordan: any similarity between concepts in the game and the real world are purely co-incidental and not intended :p
19:47:37 <Alberth> in other words, don't try to interpret game events as anything real-world :)
19:56:11 <Jordan> >won't let me build close enough
19:58:12 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
19:58:32 <Jordan> how can I make a train station wider? Just build another one beside it?
20:03:14 *** valhalla1w has joined #openttd
20:03:31 <Alberth> That's the easiest way yeah. You can leave a gap between them if you press CTRL while placing, a window pops up with stations nearby select the one you want to extend then :)
20:06:02 <Jordan> dammit I just cloned a truck I want to sell. :-/
20:17:17 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: I would like to buy your generator script
20:17:34 <andythenorth> I have in my hand 1 dollar in silver coins
20:35:05 <andythenorth> trucks are much smaller than trains aren't they?
20:35:11 <andythenorth> I forgot to notice
20:37:28 <Alberth> that is an error in reality
20:38:17 *** NicoNet2k has joined #openttd
20:38:28 <andythenorth> reality is not conformant with the game :o
20:38:37 <andythenorth> is reality GPL, or other OS license?
20:42:27 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: it worries me that I mostly understand your generator :o
20:42:45 <andythenorth> makes it far too tempting...
20:42:52 <Eddi|zuHause> hey i DID put in comments :p
20:43:21 <Eddi|zuHause> and asides of the articulation stuff, there's not a lot of magic in there
20:43:25 <Alberth> andythenorth: I have no source, nor do I know where to find it :p GPL seems unlikely if you ask me :)
20:43:57 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: I really want to use it...but I won't learn nml that way :(
20:44:04 <Eddi|zuHause> well, there's the parser for the refit lists, and the parser for the graphics
20:44:17 *** Celestar has joined #openttd
20:44:49 <Eddi|zuHause> and stuff about putting the railtype in the description, but you're likely not going to need that
20:45:03 <andythenorth> need that for roadtypes :P
20:52:31 <Eddi|zuHause> and you still need to know nml, if you want to modify/extend the "prototype" vehicle that the generator is based on
20:52:50 <Eddi|zuHause> the point of the generator is to not have to copy-paste the modification to all vehicles
20:54:09 <andythenorth> I've been heading that way with templates and defines :P
20:54:47 <Eddi|zuHause> yes. and this is one more step removed from that :)
20:57:32 <planetmaker> might be worth it, andythenorth :-)
20:58:01 <Eddi|zuHause> "(German pay-tv) FOX channel will air A Christmas Carol (last year's Doctor Who christmas special) in february"
20:58:12 <Eddi|zuHause> "christmas is gonna be late" :p
20:58:33 <andythenorth> so first I'd have to convert Eddi's script...
20:58:41 <andythenorth> unless Eddi|zuHause wants a BANDIT credit...
20:59:04 <Eddi|zuHause> s/FEAT_TRAINS/FEAT_ROAD/?
20:59:25 <Eddi|zuHause> (or whatever that is in nml)
20:59:34 <andythenorth> all the prop numbers are abstracted :D
21:01:01 <Eddi|zuHause> you can probably leave out some columns from the table
21:01:13 <Eddi|zuHause> e.g. all that has to do with company/epoch/set
21:01:56 <Eddi|zuHause> there's likely not much real modification needed, only leaving out stuff that you don't need
21:02:27 <andythenorth> I'm convinced...
21:02:45 <andythenorth> I have CETS checked out
21:02:59 <CIA-6> OpenTTD: rubidium * r23441 /trunk/src/ (script/api/script_airport.cpp station_cmd.cpp): -Fix [FS#4764]: some airport functions didn't take the layout into account resulting in wrong noise levels or nearests towns (patch by Zuu)
21:03:40 <Eddi|zuHause> there were some makefile changes to call the generator script, you'll have to ask planetmaker about that
21:07:35 <Zuu> Oh, I've forgoten that I written that patch. :-)
21:08:27 <Zuu> I though "I've" but then saw I hadn't typed that. :-)
21:08:46 <Belugas> hee?? Zuu wrote something that fixed my stuff? cool!
21:09:35 <planetmaker> good night from here
21:09:40 <Rubidium> too bad that all that moving didn't get you in Europe so participating in the meets would be easier
21:11:30 <peter1138> overlapping ground sprites... bad :)
21:11:36 <andythenorth> that building looks ok though
21:11:40 <Eddi|zuHause> oh great... "Eric Bolling of 'Follow the Money' (FOX Business Network) thinks that the muppets movie conveys a communistic message"
21:11:46 <peter1138> what, the depot in the middle? :D
21:12:06 <Belugas> night planetmaker, sweet dreams among the stars :)
21:12:11 <andythenorth> sometimes I like the CGI stuff, sometimes I don't
21:14:21 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: the fun thing is that my text editor can syntax highlight python :)
21:14:35 <Rubidium> why does that hous have a swedish flag?
21:14:36 <andythenorth> whereas I am too dumb to teach it nml syntax colouring
21:14:47 <andythenorth> it's swedish houses
21:15:02 <Eddi|zuHause> i just use the nearest script language for nml highlighting
21:17:08 <Eddi|zuHause> what's wrong with the colouring in that picture?
21:17:23 <Eddi|zuHause> the factory roof, i mean
21:18:20 <Zuu> Belugas: I think that patch was part of my work this summer on NoAI support for Airport views and towards NewGRF airports.
21:18:52 <Zuu> I haven't dared to check how much of it that has become broken by all recent changes by TrueBrain :-)
21:19:45 <TrueBrain> pff, I never break anything :D
21:20:39 <Zuu> Actually, I don't think there is that many conflicts, more that files have been renamed + moved around etc.
21:21:15 <Alberth> that is easily solved by editing the patch file :p
21:21:36 <Zuu> At least that is what I hope for without looking into it. :-D
21:25:48 <Belugas> [16:19] <TrueBrain> pff, I never break anything :D <-- liar, you broke your nail 2 days ago
21:26:53 <TrueBrain> set your snowline higher
21:27:04 <Zuu> I'm happy as long as there is no snow, ice or other slippy surface.
21:27:10 <Belugas> amix, i'm NOT glad for you, and i'm glad it does not here!
21:27:43 <Belugas> and i have to say, SO FAR, i have a delightfull december
21:27:57 <Zuu> Makes my bike ride to work much quicker and safer. :-)
21:29:21 <Zuu> With snow I have to go up 10 minutes earlier in the morning if I bike or maby 30-40 minutes earlier if I want to take the bus.
21:38:50 <Belugas> i'd rather hide in my <still-in-construction> studio when snow falls
21:41:50 <Eddi|zuHause> <Zuu> I'm happy as long as there is no snow, ice or other slippy surface. <-- that reads like "i like snow, just as long as there's no snow"
21:43:52 <frosch123> or, if there is really a lot of it
21:51:58 <Eddi|zuHause> Bug of the day: Facebook allows viewing private photos in the "report for pornography" form

23:47:05 <Zuu> peter1138: I guess they are compensating for that it has became a situation in Sweden where the flag has been taken over by the far right extrimists. Though, I think it was worse 5-10 years ago.
