02:05:38 <Rhamphoryncus> A thought: I'm using tropical refurbishment and aviators with most of the settings turned up to hard, and 50 years in money is NOT unlimited. Upgrading 20 planes at 5.5 million each, that'll take way more than I have. Plowing the ocean is extremely expensive too. It's everything else that fails to keep up. Moving dirt is fine, bridges are practically free, laying track is practically free
02:07:04 <Rhamphoryncus> Bridges are so annoyingly cheap that you only ever build 1. Well, I have a newgrf to make the suspension bridges better, so I use one of them too (but it's still essentially free)
02:07:33 <Eddi|zuHause> i agree, bridges are way too cheap
02:07:53 *** TWerkhoven[l] has joined #openttd
02:07:55 <Rhamphoryncus> too cheap and virtually the same prices
02:08:13 <Rhamphoryncus> They should be spread out a great deal so you only buy what you need
02:09:30 <Rhamphoryncus> I have other thoughts along the same vein, but I'm going to shut up before I start coding a massive newgrf :P
02:11:57 <Eddi|zuHause> well, changing bridge costs would be a relatively small newgrf :)
02:12:29 <Eddi|zuHause> you can even start by editing an existing newgrf, like TBRS
02:23:45 <Rhamphoryncus> yeah, but I want to overhaul all the track types too, including monorail and maglev *g*
02:27:03 <Eddi|zuHause> you can work on NuTracks as well
02:27:13 <Eddi|zuHause> and there are other track sets out there

06:05:50 <xiong> After several weeks of play I still can't be sure of the simplest thing in chillpack/cargodist. Is the patch trying to adjust cargo to my capacity? Or should I be trying to adjust capacity to cargo on offer? I'm getting a lot of bizarre results.
06:08:21 <Rhamphoryncus> cargodist is supposed to redistribute to your capacity
06:08:48 <Rhamphoryncus> But capacity is a pretty vague concept. It uses some heuristics to guess at it
06:09:31 <Elukka> cargodist can't change how cargo is generated
06:09:47 <Elukka> you'll get x passengers and they want to get to destinations you have active routes to
06:10:00 <Elukka> you'll still get the same amount of passengers whether you have one or a dozen destinations
06:10:21 <Elukka> you should still try to transport all of it
06:10:59 <Elukka> i'd prefer YACD since it does affect cargo generation, but it has some crippling issues and apparently there's no will to continue development...

06:47:22 <RhamphMobile> blah. internet isn't cooperating.
06:49:06 <RhamphMobile> Hah. Told the router to reboot and 20 seconds later it's still giving me packets.
06:55:01 <RhamphMobile> So I'm trying to figure out: the next/prev/first attributes of Vehicles, is that for trains and articulated RVs to list all their wagons?
07:01:20 <RhamphMobile> Thanks. Is every wagon involved in a shared order list, or just the first ones?
07:02:03 <Eddi|zuHause> only front vehicles have orders (and lots of other things)
07:03:03 <RhamphMobile> Alright, so subverting the shared list to be my sorted list should be fine.
07:04:24 <Elukka> my lizard has a tendency of failing his jumps if he's being watched
07:04:36 <Elukka> i guess that's kinda like having someone watching over your shoulder when you're trying to do something on your computer...
07:05:39 <RhamphMobile> Vehicle::FirstShared() is what's throwing me off. It implies every wagon has ->orders.list set (when shared).
07:10:52 <Eddi|zuHause> most of these things are ensured to be only ever called/accessed for front vehicles
07:11:21 <RhamphMobile> I was thinking that.
07:12:19 <RhamphMobile> Any reason why most of that is in Vehicle rather than OrderList? Historical artifact?
07:14:16 <RhamphMobile> I may just start another branch so I can refactor it before doing my scheduling stuff.

07:44:10 <Eddi|zuHause> so... now i (think i) have the glyphs in the grf, but i have no good way to input them into a text box in the game
07:44:43 <Eddi|zuHause> normally i would use KCharSelect and paste them, but the game has no paste option
07:44:44 <Rubidium> use the vehicle names
07:45:22 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but that involves recompiling the grf (again) :)
07:45:52 <Rubidium> then make a (much) smaller test GRF?
07:47:31 <xiong> Elukka, thanks. I still see weird things, though. I have a number of stations -- local bus stops -- that don't seem to have enough buildings to generate much cargo; yet pax are waiting. I double or quadruple the service to that stop and a year later, hundreds of pax are stacked up desperate to go anywhere.
07:49:27 <Elukka> the only time i've seen passengers that want to go anywhere is when i've messed up my services or there's been some kind of minor bug/fuckup but that sorts itself out before too long
07:49:40 <Elukka> it's possible there's some sort of bug in the older version of the patch in chillpack, i haven't played that
07:49:40 <Rubidium> or decompile with grfcodec, edit and recompile?
07:50:33 <Eddi|zuHause> i should rewrite my script to generate NFO...
08:01:36 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... something seems wrong with the offset

08:44:09 <planetmaker> salut andythenorth
08:53:49 <andythenorth> in an ideal grf-topia word, what's a nice way to specify a vehicle set
08:53:56 <andythenorth> e.g. vehicles + their properties
08:54:11 <andythenorth> text file? web form interface? spreadsheet?
08:54:34 <andythenorth> an approximate clone of the nml property{} structure?
08:54:43 <planetmaker> what's un-ideal about the nml way?
08:55:11 <andythenorth> 1. it doesn't expose the values that I can use as python
08:55:37 <andythenorth> 2. more furniture than is ideal - there's some formatting required
08:55:44 <planetmaker> it simply is not python. It's a language written in python
08:56:01 <planetmaker> and formatting is always required
08:56:08 <planetmaker> it's just a matter of what kind of formatting
08:56:28 <andythenorth> it's a relative scale: spreadsheet < nml property block
08:56:37 <andythenorth> web form < nml property block
08:57:06 <planetmaker> honestly: I challenge that that comparison constitutes a statement which evaluates to true
08:57:18 <andythenorth> basically I could rephrase my question as 'should I learn how to use the tsv module in python?' :P
09:14:15 *** RhamphMobile has joined #openttd
09:14:52 <andythenorth> cpp constants are still kind of cool
09:15:45 <andythenorth> but mixing cpp and python is ... odd
09:31:37 <andythenorth> are trailers for trucks primary or subsidiary objects?
09:31:56 <andythenorth> i.e. should I put them in the master list of vehicles and render them from there?
09:32:04 <andythenorth> or only render them when the lead truck is rendered?
09:32:16 *** Chris_Booth has joined #openttd
09:32:53 <RhamphMobile> Is this a general question or one pertaining to code as written?
09:33:09 <andythenorth> I think it's me thinking out loud
09:34:09 <RhamphMobile> Heh. Well I was going to mention that some of the articulated trams I was using are 4 or 5 tiles long.
09:34:31 <andythenorth> so the question is - should the trailing vehicles be defined in the root scope, with the lead vehicle
09:34:37 <andythenorth> or are they scoped to the lead vehicle
09:34:41 <andythenorth> currently the second
09:37:24 <andythenorth> it makes almost no difference except for readability
09:37:33 <RhamphMobile> I would assume this influences the earliest filtering for what's on screen... but you could also expand the lead truck for this purpose.
09:37:43 <andythenorth> makes no difference to the game at all
09:37:51 <andythenorth> pure compile-time question
09:38:02 <andythenorth> one way is more intricate...the other simpler... but also more magical
09:39:00 <andythenorth> the more intricate method means more template code, but also less arsing about accessing other scopes
09:40:02 <andythenorth> it's basically a standard problem of 'wide and flat' or 'deep and nested'
09:40:17 <andythenorth> wide and flat means more lookups between objects, deep and nested means more traversal of hierarchy
09:40:25 *** Progman has joined #openttd
09:40:46 <Eddi|zuHause> since i have a table, it's wide and flat there
09:41:07 <Eddi|zuHause> the hierarchy is defined by some magic naming convention
09:42:29 <Eddi|zuHause> it's not particularly pretty, but very much functional.
09:42:29 <andythenorth> so you have (equivalent of) one big flat dict for all vehicles?
09:42:38 <andythenorth> and use a naming convention to map associated vehicles?
09:43:16 <andythenorth> I have (equivalent of) one big flat dict for all trucks, but the trailers are inside the dict for each truck
09:43:25 <andythenorth> it seems to make no real difference
09:43:33 <andythenorth> probably a matter of taste
09:44:06 <andythenorth> I have the naming convention too so it could be changed to flat
09:44:08 <Eddi|zuHause> that's fine for dicts, but not really nice for a table
09:44:26 <RhamphMobile> Would you be filtering based on names if it was flat?
09:46:17 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: the trailers are slightly auto-magically created in my case
09:46:39 <andythenorth> if they were 100% defined manually flat would be better I guess
09:47:26 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: that's probably fine for trucks. articulation of trains needs to be slightly more flexible, i guess
09:47:41 <andythenorth> so the templating I've got would work both ways
09:47:47 <andythenorth> which is important to me
09:47:56 <andythenorth> it's flexible in that regard
09:47:56 <Eddi|zuHause> you don't usually have driven heads at the other end or stuff
09:48:54 <Eddi|zuHause> i think you're totally overthinking this
09:52:00 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: you think? :)
09:52:09 * andythenorth overthinks occasionally? :P
09:54:04 <RhamphMobile> Only occasionally? Amateur. ;)
09:54:52 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: I see 'overthinking' and raise you 'code generator' :D
09:55:32 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: really, i wrote this thing in more or less one day, and thought "ah well... good enough i suppose"
09:56:39 *** Arafangion has joined #openttd
09:57:26 <andythenorth> 'make a nice truck set' 'obsess about templating' /s
09:57:30 <Eddi|zuHause> and for like two weeks now you discuss X framework and Y language
09:58:19 <andythenorth> the actual work is quite minimal
09:58:31 <andythenorth> it's rather over-shadowed by the noise I make :P
09:58:50 <Elukka> Eddi|zuHause: what's up with the 32bpp thing in CETS?
09:58:56 <RhamphMobile> andythenorth: I see your code generator and raise you a static/dynamic programming language intended to have the performance of C and the ease of Python. And superior threading than both.
09:59:16 <Eddi|zuHause> Elukka: one of oberhümers random outbursts?
09:59:50 <Eddi|zuHause> Elukka: it's not like we never discussed this before
10:00:02 <Elukka> we did, but what's going on now?
10:07:25 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
10:10:48 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd
10:11:52 <Rubidium> RhamphMobile: LabView? ;)
10:13:25 <RhamphMobile> Found an odd tidbit: when loading an old savegame there already is a v->orders.list, not just an orders.old, but the orders.list gets replaced and forgotten. Leaked I assume. Or I screwed something up. Regression test isn't stopping anymore...
10:13:50 <Rubidium> RhamphMobile: ever heard of unions?
10:13:58 <Rubidium> RhamphMobile: if not, look them up
10:14:05 <RhamphMobile> Fortunately I'm not familiar with LabView so I can ignore that. ;)
10:14:13 <RhamphMobile> eh? Of course I have.
10:14:45 <Rubidium> well, v->orders is a union
10:17:12 <Elukka> Eddi|zuHause: i still think sprites are much better to draw with the essentially unlimited palette of 32bpp, but doing both 8 and 32 seems like a bit of a bother
10:17:28 <Rubidium> last time I checked OpenTTD did leak less than the external libraries
10:19:45 <RhamphMobile> Ignore what I said. Being a union invalidates it.
10:21:53 <Eddi|zuHause> Elukka: well, the important point would be that the 8bpp versions would be automatically converted
10:22:13 *** mahmoud has joined #openttd
10:22:38 <Eddi|zuHause> and the newgrf would (try to) enforce 32bpp blitter
10:22:54 <Eddi|zuHause> so the average user wouldn't see the 8bpp sprites
10:23:30 <Elukka> what does auto-converting actually do?
10:23:45 <Elukka> it can't come up with new color info out of nowhere, so... does it just change existing colors to something closer to reality?

10:58:50 <Rhamphoryncus> Oh good, I can remove that quit message
11:06:11 <Rhamphoryncus> Found why it kept crashing and hanging and whatnot. Refactored all the assignments to v->orders.list so it'd be in one place rather than 10, but forgot to put it in that one place. FUUUUUU...

12:05:46 <TinoDidriksen> That got important to know? When in doubt, split into statements...it's usually more readable that way anyway.
12:15:40 <Rhamphoryncus> Order *old = v->orders.old; // OrderList() overwrites this, so save a copy
12:15:40 <Rhamphoryncus> mapping[old] = new OrderList(v->orders.old, v);
12:16:00 <Rhamphoryncus> I just blanked on the rules and I don't want to make a decision when I don't know.

12:38:30 *** florian has joined #openttd
12:39:46 <florian> hi. is it possible to store goods in vehicle stations, e.g. if theres a forest somewhere, transport it to a harbor via train, and from the harbor to another harbor (by ship of course)?
12:41:30 <florian> *it = wood, not the forest :D

13:10:52 *** Alberth has joined #openttd
13:10:52 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alberth
13:11:58 <andythenorth> Yexo: can I used numeric IDs with nml in articulated_part
13:12:29 <Yexo> you have to give each part a name, but you can additionally given them a numeric ID and use that in your code
13:13:03 <andythenorth> numeric iterator instead of string concat
13:13:12 <andythenorth> it's about the same either way I guess though :)
13:17:02 <planetmaker> yes, numbers are so much better to read :-P
13:19:39 <andythenorth> could do an identifier
13:19:45 <andythenorth> same amount of code either way
13:25:00 <xiong> I think there's positive feedback. There's a slight excess of demand at a feeder station and that piles up over time; by the time I notice it there are a few hundred pax standing around willing to go anywhere -- cash on the hoof. So I run more vehicles to that feeder stop from the local hub. That makes the feeder look better serviced than the main; so a greater fraction of pax are allocated to that route.
13:27:33 <xiong> If the main intercity line is long and slow, its monthly capacity is much less than that of the feeder. Pax continue to demand the feeder and if I'm foolish enough to lay on even more cheap local service, they take it and want more.
13:27:58 <Alberth> xiong: what's the idea of this long monologue?
13:28:15 <xiong> Alberth, What part of it is unclear?
13:28:48 <Alberth> it is unclear what idea you are trying to bring across
13:29:28 <xiong> I'm less interested in airing my opinion than in comparing the opinions of others.
13:29:35 <Hirundo> andythenorth: Seems valid, though without any purpose
13:29:46 <andythenorth> the purpose is to *not* build any trailers
13:30:02 <Hirundo> There are easier ways to do that
13:30:15 <Yexo> Hirundo: this is easy to template
13:30:31 <andythenorth> I can write more conditions in the template. Or fewer conditions.
13:30:32 <Yexo> on line 2 you put something if you want it articulated, if nothing there it's not articulated
13:31:04 <andythenorth> fewer conditions = easier to read the template, as long as you don't mind lots of code that's doing equivalent of 'pass'
13:31:13 <xiong> You may just as well take it for granted, Alberth, that whatever I have to say in here these days, unless otherwise excepted, is in hopes of fishing for understanding of chillpack/cargodist. The existing docs are... not useful for play, although developers must be fascinated.
13:31:20 <andythenorth> btw, nml is fricking awesome to tempalte
13:32:34 * andythenorth is 100% converted to joys of nml
13:32:48 <andythenorth> although I won't 100% convert my sets - nfo is like brain training
13:33:31 <xiong> I conjecture that the solution to the unfortunate feeder oversupply is *not* to service it but to increase main service at the corresponding hub, tilting the distribution that way instead.
13:34:23 <andythenorth> if an rv has an articulated switch but no trailers, will it be able to use drive-in road stops?
13:35:03 <Hirundo> how would the game even detect, that there is an 'articulated switch' ?
13:35:20 <Alberth> xiong: sorry, no idea, I never played chillpack, and certainly not in the wayy you do
13:35:21 <Hirundo> as long as it returns 'no art. parts' it doesn't matter
13:35:25 <andythenorth> because the bit is enabled in special flags?
13:35:31 <andythenorth> in cb flags sorry
13:35:55 <andythenorth> I'm hazy on how nml sets those bits
13:36:03 <Alberth> xiong: I just do test-playing for small amounts of time
13:36:17 <xiong> Yes; it may take much patience to find out about this.
13:36:54 <xiong> Yes; it does seem that people spend more time modifying the game than learning how to play it. I'm sure there must be good players but they don't discuss it much.
13:39:12 <Alberth> xiong: they are not here, I think. They mostly play MP I think
13:39:36 <xiong> You're probably right, Alberth.
13:39:53 <Alberth> (or SP at home without Internet :p )
13:40:38 <Chris_Booth> does anyone know how long 30 game years is in hours?
13:40:58 <andythenorth> is there any case where extra_callback_info1 will contain 0?
13:41:21 <andythenorth> I am relying on 0 not being found atm
13:41:30 <andythenorth> sorry - context is articulated_part
13:43:19 <andythenorth> am I a fool to rely on that? :)
13:43:20 <Hirundo> so presuming you don't try to add enough parts to overflow the counter, you're safe :-
13:44:17 <Hirundo> FWIW the number of parts is limited to 100
13:44:27 <andythenorth> 3 will be sufficient here :D
13:44:31 <Alberth> QED people don't read FAQs :)
13:45:05 <Chris_Booth> thanks Alberth. I would not have thought to look in the FAQ
13:45:23 * andythenorth converts numeric ids to nml identifiers
13:45:25 <andythenorth> for readability :P
13:45:36 <andythenorth> when debugging :p
13:45:42 <xiong> Chris_Booth, Don't forget you can halve that time in fast-forward.
13:46:43 <Chris_Booth> xiong: not in a server game
13:47:07 <Chris_Booth> I was just trying to work out when my final Loco would come out
13:47:30 <Chris_Booth> as it turns out is 6.75 hours away
13:49:20 <Alberth> Chris_Booth: a search at the wiki didn't turn up that answer either?
13:50:14 <Chris_Booth> Alberth: I am to lazy to search
13:50:41 <andythenorth> trailers before or after the truck in the final nml file?
13:50:52 * andythenorth has too many meta questions to be a real developer
13:51:54 <Alberth> perhaps you should develop unreal :)
13:53:46 <Hirundo> I feel sometimes you write much code to avoid writing code
13:54:18 <Hirundo> Though arguably, code that writes code for you is more fun to write :-)
13:54:35 <andythenorth> Hirundo: interestingly, in my day job, I'm the duct tape programmer
13:54:47 <andythenorth> I refuse to learn how to develop properly, and hack in ancient cms
13:55:01 <andythenorth> and my code ships faster and works
13:55:14 <andythenorth> but it's not scalable, maintainable, repeatable, and no-one else likes it :)
13:55:56 <Alberth> and your boss still allows you near the code? :o
13:56:33 * andythenorth started hiring real developers once real code was needed ;)
13:57:46 <SpComb> all problems in computer science can be solved by applying one more layer of abstraction

14:05:31 <andythenorth> Hirundo: "code that writes code for you...more fun" :) <- the main reason I'm on version 5 of BANDIT is that it's fun
14:05:40 <andythenorth> I've started to actually learn python
14:09:14 <andythenorth> I've been using it for 7 years :P
14:09:57 <Hirundo> using it for so long without learning it :o
14:10:22 <andythenorth> you can go a long way with for i in iterable: do stuff
14:10:32 <andythenorth> I skipped functions for 5 years
14:10:41 <andythenorth> I just wrote my first class this weekend :P
14:10:57 <Hirundo> "def foo(x): do stuff" isn't too hard either, I'd say
14:11:11 <andythenorth> I just wrote code that didn't require it :)
14:11:39 <andythenorth> do less, ship on time

14:18:50 <andythenorth> asking what the best order for vehicles in an nml file is definitely bikeshedding the project :P
14:19:05 <andythenorth> especially as nml doesn't give a crap about the order when numeric IDs are used
14:21:58 <Alberth> andythenorth: I didn't see anybody asking that :p
14:22:31 <andythenorth> lack of sleep makes an alread-obsessive andythenorth even stranger :P
14:22:47 <andythenorth> I kind of actually do just talk to myself
14:23:42 <andythenorth> instead - maybe I try and ship something :p
14:24:31 <andythenorth> hack hack hack delete hack delete hack hack delete hack
14:24:35 <Alberth> SpComb unfortunately, the other way around does not work ;)
14:26:41 *** Chris_Booth has joined #openttd
14:27:04 <Hirundo> andythenorth: defining ids before using them is always a safe bet
14:27:23 * andythenorth has bet safely in that case
14:27:31 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r23870 /trunk/src/3rdparty/squirrel/squirrel/sqbaselib.cpp: -Fix [FS#5004]: scripts with a bad comparator could lock up OpenTTD
14:27:40 <andythenorth> I kind of feel bad about not using the nml built-in here:
14:27:40 <andythenorth> shorten_vehicle: ${8 - properties.truck_length};
14:27:46 <andythenorth> but that code is so easy ^
14:27:53 *** LordPixaII is now known as Pixa
14:28:04 <SpComb> next someone writes an NML optimizer
14:28:16 <andythenorth> for speed or for ease?
14:28:24 <andythenorth> the ease side is pretty optimised
14:28:36 <Hirundo> I still have the idea of changing 'shorten_vehicle' to 'length' somewhere in my mind
14:28:40 <andythenorth> I keep trying to do stuff the long way, and finding there's a built in
14:28:59 <andythenorth> whoever added 'disable default vehicles(range)' etc gets a prize
14:30:31 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
14:31:03 <Hirundo> FIRS should have a 'cookie' cargo :-)
14:31:18 <andythenorth> there's a spare slot
14:32:00 <Hirundo> There's a bakery, right?
14:32:21 <Alberth> cookie cargo for the HQ !
14:33:24 <frosch123> hmm, so we need a special cargo flag which makes some of the cargo just vanish during transportation
14:33:46 <andythenorth> there's a grain mill
14:33:49 <andythenorth> near enough a bakery
14:34:26 <Hirundo> HQ acceptance is fixed afaik, though
14:34:53 *** TWerkhoven[l] has joined #openttd
14:36:17 <andythenorth> the acceptance of BEER at HQ is not possible :(
14:37:12 <Hirundo> new objects should allow changing acceptance, also for default objects
14:37:40 * andythenorth has one more bit working again
14:38:29 <TWerkhoven[l]> one could always make a hq-expansion item which does accept beer, but needs to be placed adjacent (in a certain tile perhaps) to the hq?
14:40:39 *** Asteconn has joined #openttd
14:41:02 <Hirundo> That'd have to be an industry currently, it's the only item that can be built by player and accepts cargo
14:41:12 <planetmaker> Hirundo, default objects cannot be modified
14:41:38 <Hirundo> That can change, though
14:42:28 <planetmaker> yes. IMHO it should ;-)
14:42:47 <planetmaker> with some limitations maybe.
14:42:54 <planetmaker> we can't make HQ unavailable
14:43:28 <planetmaker> not sure about the other two, light houses and transmitters
14:44:22 <frosch123> don't forget the statue and bought land :p
14:44:51 <andythenorth> light houses should accept PAX!
14:45:40 <andythenorth> I think I kind of fixed everything :o
14:45:56 <Yexo> you can probably make the HQ accept beer by putting it in cargoslot 0
14:46:03 <Yexo> you might break other unexpected things however
14:58:32 <frosch123> every house producing beer? :p
15:00:17 <Hirundo> that'd be realistic in the US thirties only
15:00:51 <Hirundo> well, twenties mostly
15:00:59 <Mazur> Eurpope farms and monasteries in the middles ages, I wager.
15:30:56 <TinoDidriksen> Transport Tycoon Medieval? Start out with ox carts and horseback couriers...
15:38:13 <andythenorth> what does nml do if a switch result references a block that doesn't exist (but the result will never be reached) ?
15:40:35 <andythenorth> incidentally nml should (if it doesn't already) have something like this in introduction
15:41:25 <andythenorth> "if you already know nfo, nml *is* easier. However, whilst your knowledge of nfo will help you navigate the spec, a lot of what you learnt is required. Trying to treat nml like nfo will cause you to over-complicate things"
15:42:17 <andythenorth> is required / isn't required /s
15:44:10 <andythenorth> NML = powerful meta language
15:44:17 <andythenorth> NML != new syntax for nFO
15:59:05 <Mazur> Is there a way to go to a previous version of a blog post? I accidentally deleted a lot while inserting a more tag.
16:03:09 <planetmaker> does your browser back button work, Mazur ?
16:05:35 <TinoDidriksen> Some blog systems keep versions.
16:06:33 <Mazur> No. I was past that stage.

20:36:55 <Kromme> I only got one quick question tbh, sorry 'bout that
20:37:16 <Kromme> I've downloaded some AI's last week, and upgraded to ottd-v1.2.0-beta3
20:37:26 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
20:37:49 <Kromme> no problem, you'd think.. all my AI's suddenly blanked and stated corruption.. Except for IdleV1
20:38:15 <Kromme> any ideas how that could've happened?
20:39:13 <Kromme> and thanks for the extra zoomlevels, they sure make landscaping a lot easier :))
20:39:46 <SmatZ> what does "stated corruption" mean?
20:40:13 <Kromme> well, when I try to open/load them, they give me an errormsg, and they disable themselves
20:40:24 <Kromme> either that, or my ottd crashes
20:40:49 <SmatZ> if openttd crashes, you get instructions on how to open a bugreport :)
20:40:55 <SmatZ> what does the AI Debug window output?
20:41:12 <SmatZ> there should be a message with a backtrace where the AI crashed
20:41:19 <Kromme> The AI debugger pops up when it doesn't freeze, but it doesn't really give me all that much info to work with
20:41:38 <Kromme> gimme a minute, I'll try to CP some info here if you'v got some time
20:45:24 <Kromme> hmz, this is kind of freaky, for now they work on my system (no errors), but at my friends PC they still keep giving errors
20:50:16 <Kromme> hm, they are crashing again.. I'll mail the authors as the debugwindow states :)
20:53:46 <Kromme> sorry, multiserver - multilang chatting kinda messes me up every now and then.. hehe
20:57:16 <SmatZ> mailing the authors is probably the best thing to do, on the other hand, any broken AI shouldn't crash openttd

22:06:57 *** Keyboard_Warrior is now known as theholyduck
22:19:41 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... weirdness? it's "19 km/h" and "45 kN" {with space} but it's "36t" and "174PS" {without space}
22:24:34 <V453000> looks natural though :)
22:28:37 <Chris_Booth> I have a quick question, why when a vehicle is going 201 km/h for example does it flash 125/126 mph?
22:30:26 *** sdfsfsfssdfs has joined #openttd
22:32:33 <Eddi|zuHause> the internal rounding is always done the same way, it does not flicker between two values

22:33:50 <Chris_Booth> ooh I realise why it is now in my game Eddi|zuHause XD
22:34:12 <Chris_Booth> I have a 200km/h train and a 201 km/h train, but both show as 125mph
23:23:16 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd
23:27:11 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd
23:27:34 * Rhamphoryncus wonders if he can overload a normal method with a static method (same signature, but creates the object if necessary), or if C++ will have a seizure
23:33:07 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't see how that would be a problem
23:35:41 <Rhamphoryncus> There's no way to differentiate them
23:36:15 <Rhamphoryncus> It doesn't matter, I'm just going to have the static version
23:52:04 <Rhamphoryncus> Gee, how did that //:w get in to my code..
23:58:48 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... "attempt to use invalid id" is not really a meaningfull error message when it should say "too many railtype definitions"
