07:47:39 <CQ> is there any way to get buses to run automatically? once the cities get bigger I don't want to bother reconfiguring each route... I'd rather jsut add buses and stations and let them run
07:48:08 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
07:51:33 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
07:51:41 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
07:53:37 <planetmaker> There's no automatisation for re-configuring routes.
07:53:51 <planetmaker> you're the transport manager after all. You decide how and when and where to expand
07:53:59 <CQ> I was hoping one of the AIs would do something like that
07:54:00 <planetmaker> A "play me" button won't be added to the game
07:54:30 <planetmaker> AIs are competition. Not co-worker
07:54:34 <CQ> no, obviously, but I was thinking alongthe lines of something that when the game gets huge you move from route and vehicle mgmt to fleet management
07:54:58 <planetmaker> you know shared orders?
07:56:28 <CQ> ah, no, hadn't seent hat yet.
07:56:40 <planetmaker> there you got your fleet management
07:57:09 <planetmaker> use it as soon as two vehicles drive the same route :-)
07:57:28 <CQ> also, I tried to upgrade fromelectric to maglev, and it would be very nice if the trains in the depots could be auto-converted along with the depot... otherwise its a TON of work (unless I'm missing something else... :)
07:59:41 <Eddi|zuHause> <oskari89> Eddi|zuHause: Were you using some kind of railset with different type of rails here <- that is an older version of nutracks
07:59:54 <oskari89> Okay, thanks for information..
08:36:07 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
09:16:03 *** oskari892 has joined #openttd
09:37:53 <Eddi|zuHause> so... what's wrong when i can't reach a website from home, but can reach it from university?
09:38:42 <Eddi|zuHause> and all other websites (so far) work as well
09:39:40 <__ln__> i bet you didn't try *all* others
09:40:23 <ffpp> quick gameplay question: I a train has multiple engines, does that increase the change for a breakdown or does only the primary engine count ?
09:43:09 <Eddi|zuHause> __ln__: i did try all others that i tried.
09:45:15 <__ln__> it could also be because your isp is not paying $$$ to the isp of the website you are trying to reach.
09:45:34 <__ln__> i don't think that's common but has actually happened.
09:47:36 <Eddi|zuHause> ffpp: i believe only the primary engine counts
09:52:07 <ffpp> ok, because that might actually make a difference sometimes
09:52:35 <Eddi|zuHause> ffpp: there's an improved breakdown patch, but i never tested it
09:53:15 <ffpp> yes, it sounds quite interesting but I believe its not up with the current revisions IIRC
10:21:25 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
10:26:38 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
10:32:58 *** Markavian` has joined #openttd
10:52:31 <ffpp> hm, does anybody else think it would be useful to have a 'wait until [50%,75%] load' order ?
10:53:27 <Eddi|zuHause> i once thought of a solution for that: there are already conditional orders, the only thing it needs is to evaluate the next order before leaving the station, and staying if it is the same
10:53:40 <lugo> there was a patch for that
10:54:52 <Eddi|zuHause> so the order list looks like "1: goto A, 2: if load < 50% jump to 1, 3: goto B"
10:55:34 <Eddi|zuHause> currently the vehicle would leave the station and come back
10:55:44 <Eddi|zuHause> and this should be suppressed
10:56:32 <ffpp> the question is, do you want to tie this condition to a specific value like 50% or have it be just 'non-empty cargo'
10:57:32 <ffpp> yes, looks like what Eddi described, and it is not even *that* old
11:00:14 <Eddi|zuHause> ffpp: there are already lots of conditional orders. no need to "tie" anything
11:02:00 <Eddi|zuHause> you don't need conditional orders at all, could also be like "1: goto A (no loading) wait for 10 days, 2: goto A (loading), 3: goto B (no loading) wait for 10 days, 4: goto B (loading)
11:02:21 <Eddi|zuHause> to avoid cargo getting old while you schedule buffer times
11:03:35 <ffpp> ah ok, I just tried it, I never used conditional orders before
11:12:28 *** goodger has joined #openttd
11:24:24 <ffpp> I wanted to say that the patch didn't work put I accidently applied it to my dev-directory, not my playing-directory
11:24:49 <ffpp> but it didn't work on the current trunk anyways
12:03:10 <oskari892> I decide to release everything i've drawn to GPL.
12:05:24 <oskari892> Sprites, of course, a little corrected :P
12:06:54 *** TGYoshi has joined #openttd
12:07:56 <Eddi|zuHause> oskari892: evary time a "nuclear chain" has been discussed, it was discarded on the ground that you'd only transport like 1 container every year
12:08:09 *** telanus has joined #openttd
12:08:51 *** mahmoud has joined #openttd
12:10:06 <oskari892> On the other hand, it's very heavy stuff... :P
12:13:15 <oskari892> But i understand that reason..

12:44:16 <oskari892> ECS Machinery vector hasn't got Bauxite mine yet?
12:48:14 <planetmaker> possibly. I don't know about the release state, but Bauxite mines are very new
12:52:39 <planetmaker> so the question is whether you have ECS 1.2 :-)
12:52:49 *** Biolunar has joined #openttd
12:53:21 <planetmaker> in any case those are very tasty sprites
12:55:15 <oskari892> Hmm, i don't have...
12:55:50 <oskari892> 1.1.2 is latest one of Construction vector..
12:55:53 <planetmaker> first thing you always should try is possibly bananananas
12:55:58 <oskari892> There and Bananas too..
12:56:26 <oskari892> Haven't seen one in a screenshot..
12:57:04 <oskari892> (Or isn't it released yet?) :P
13:02:37 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
13:19:43 <oskari892> Would help to put proper cargos to wagons :P
13:20:05 *** Prof_Frink has joined #openttd
13:20:44 <andythenorth> various have been made
13:21:03 <andythenorth> I don't know if there's a good up-to-date one
13:22:50 <oskari892> With cargo ID:s included would be best :P
13:25:50 <Eddi|zuHause> if you're interested in the IDs, why do you need a chart?
13:32:08 <Eddi|zuHause> oh... kay... i just pressed ^B and everything stopped, openttd using 100% cpu...
13:34:17 <planetmaker> sounds like "you should never reach this state", Eddi|zuHause
13:35:12 <Eddi|zuHause> gdb says Blitter:DrawLine, called by GfxDrawLineUnscaled
13:58:13 <Eddi|zuHause> is that broken into the ice?
13:59:32 <__ln__> yes, the vehicle had sunk through the ice earlier and was at the depth of 8 metres.
14:00:15 <Eddi|zuHause> sounds unhealthy
14:01:30 <__ln__> the driver escaped in time, but could be the engine needs some maintenance before startup.
14:06:57 <oskari892> Cargo names are missing from that... Other than that good..
14:32:30 *** TWerkhoven has joined #openttd
14:36:29 <Pulec> what the terrain type line in config?
14:36:50 <Pulec> i cant find it in [game_creation]
14:39:15 <V453000> you mean this ? landscape = temperate
14:39:37 <V453000> ah the mountainous stuff
14:41:36 <V453000> ah, Pulec: it is in [difficulty]
14:41:52 <V453000> terrain_type = 3 for mountainous
14:42:05 <V453000> water quantity seems to be there as well
14:54:48 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
14:56:39 <andythenorth> 'make choo choo'
14:57:31 <Rhamphoryncus> __ln__: "could be"? :P
15:08:59 *** Progman has joined #openttd
15:09:29 <andythenorth> So for 1.3....? - remove 'disable elrails'
15:09:36 <andythenorth> - add 'roadtypes'
15:14:56 *** supermop has joined #openttd
15:17:24 *** LordAro has joined #openttd
15:21:42 <ISA> as I were guided here, I still have a question :)
15:22:17 <oskari892> Is there some tracking table on 2cc trainset?
15:22:24 <oskari892> And are sprites gpl?
15:22:28 <ISA> industries and possible ways to code them, anyone familiar with industries code?
15:24:53 <ISA> seems not atm... so Ill be back later in the evening or tomorrow
15:37:18 *** Devroush has joined #openttd
15:38:05 <bolli> is there an issue with git.openttd.org?
15:38:12 <bolli> i'm getting an error when trying to clone it
15:38:43 <LordAro> works in browser (mostly meaningless, i know)
15:40:49 <andythenorth> ISA should have stuck around :P
15:46:05 <oskari892> Hmm, 2cc set is GPL:ed, so Finnish trainset can freely copy and modify those sprites?
15:47:31 <Terkhen> as long as you comply with the license, yes
15:47:51 <Terkhen> bolli: no idea sorry, I don't know how to use git
15:48:01 <oskari892> Ok, Finnish Trainset is GPL..
15:49:46 <andythenorth> when I use GPL sprites from another set I don't also ensure I get the sources
15:49:54 <andythenorth> GPL violation :P
15:50:45 <V453000> you mean like if you just copied them from the game but not from the psd/whatever other src file?
15:51:19 <andythenorth> or from decompiled grf
15:51:26 <andythenorth> or spritesheet from another set
15:52:08 <Eddi|zuHause> we certainly need a way to display summary messages...
15:52:13 <V453000> can you only use the source files or? .o
15:52:24 <Eddi|zuHause> it's not funny working through 200 "vehicle is getting old" messages
15:54:00 <oskari892> Where you can find the sources for those (stupid question)
15:54:01 <planetmaker> andythenorth: GPL only requires your preferred form to modify. If it is the png in that case, just supplying that is sufficient
15:58:30 <bolli> i think that the git repository is properly buggered...
16:05:27 <bolli> now i'm getting fatal: Could not switch to 'git.openttd.org/trunk': No such file or directory
16:05:35 <bolli> anybody got any ideas about that one?
16:07:43 <jazzyjaffa> bolli: I've just done a fresh clone right now and it worked fine
16:08:43 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: lots of other things i could think of :)
16:10:34 <bolli> i didn't have the http:// in there
16:13:29 <oskari892> Where there is Eurosprinter ES64?
16:13:48 <Eddi|zuHause> need some brilliant thought how to connect A to B: www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~krause/Loisachkirchen%20Transport,%2025.%20Feb%202015.png
16:17:13 *** Markavian has joined #openttd
16:18:19 <Eddi|zuHause> oskari892: check the nfo/nml, grep for ES64, look which .png file is linked there?
16:22:15 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: small goals - for 1.3 :)
16:22:26 <andythenorth> we got a lot in 1.2
16:23:13 <andythenorth> also your screenshot uses an absymal version of FIRS
16:23:27 <andythenorth> you have the hideous furniture factory graphics
16:23:35 <Eddi|zuHause> it also uses an abysmal version of YACD :p
16:23:48 <oskari892> Is Siemens Vectron planned to include?
16:24:16 <andythenorth> if roadtypes is the only big feature in 1.3 I'd be happy ;)
16:24:17 <Eddi|zuHause> oskari892: how should we know?
16:24:30 <andythenorth> but....roadtypes might depend on extended map ;)
16:24:47 <Eddi|zuHause> i wish i had some way to have parallel tunnels end on different tiles (i.e. tunnels through slopes)

16:30:02 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: +1
16:30:16 <andythenorth> doesn't that require custom bridgeheads or something?
16:30:29 <andythenorth> it's primarily just a graphical issue though?
16:30:56 <andythenorth> the blocker is a suitable set of portal graphics?
16:31:05 <Eddi|zuHause> no. you must store the foundation in the map
16:31:25 <Eddi|zuHause> otherwise drawing them would require too much CPU power
16:31:44 <andythenorth> I figured it wouldn't be simple :P
16:32:12 <andythenorth> it's annoying when building multi-track routes
16:33:27 <andythenorth> so for 1.3: tunnels can end on complex slopes?
16:34:35 <Eddi|zuHause> better totally freeform tunnels/bridges construction
16:34:39 *** Markavian` has joined #openttd
16:36:18 <andythenorth> can't see any downsides ;)
16:36:30 <andythenorth> what about building over tunnel entrances though?
16:37:31 <FlyingFoX> hi, which distances are counted, when the price for cargo is calculated? Only the distance from the station where the cargo is first picked up to where it is delivered or does the distance get counted over all stations in between where the cargo is only transfered?
16:37:41 <FlyingFoX> I tried to find that on the wiki
16:37:56 <FlyingFoX> but couldn't figure it out
16:38:20 <Pulec> does distance from a loading station have a difference?
16:39:20 <andythenorth> isn't it manhattan distance between first and last stations?
16:41:24 <Eddi|zuHause> FlyingFoX: only from the first to the last station
16:41:55 <Eddi|zuHause> FlyingFoX: more precisely, from the location of the station sign
16:55:41 <andythenorth> demolish the oil well
16:55:54 <oskari892> One thing that bothers me, that bridges can't be built over station tiles :P
16:55:55 <Eddi|zuHause> now for that station...
16:56:17 <andythenorth> oskari892: it's technically possible, but wouldn't work graphically
16:56:32 <Pulec> guys, mountains are bad :D
16:57:16 <oskari892> Yes, bridges just overlayed on top of station tiles..
16:57:47 <andythenorth> consider SAC's station here:
16:57:50 <oskari892> Of cource, just plain platforms under that, nothing too high :P
16:58:22 <andythenorth> so the issue is how to ensure 'just plain platforms' ;)
16:58:37 <andythenorth> there's no sane method discovered so far
16:59:08 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
16:59:25 <oskari892> Would it be left to user :)
17:01:38 <supermop> cant objects/sprites have a height?
17:02:32 <supermop> and then bridges then have a maximum height they can be built over?
17:05:15 <oskari892> That would open possibility for lifting bridges :P
17:05:49 *** Chris_Booth[ph] has joined #openttd
17:06:46 <andythenorth> supermop: ok, so now provide extra error messages to handle 'station too high'
17:07:01 <andythenorth> but possibly tmwftlb
17:07:40 <andythenorth> sprites do have a height (the bounding box).... assuming that's set correctly by the newgrf author :P
17:08:09 <Eddi|zuHause> i need multistop docks...
17:08:34 <andythenorth> oh if only it were all newgrf :P
17:08:45 <andythenorth> "let's code them" is a valid thing for me to say about newgrfs
17:27:46 *** Chris_Booth[ph] has quit IRC

18:02:18 <Wolf01> is there anybody from london in this channel? I need somebody to restart a VPS manually if it does shut down again (and with restart I mean: go there, slap the customer support and let them do the work)
18:02:51 <andythenorth> you can probably rent someone in London to do that...
18:02:54 <andythenorth> most things are available ;)
18:04:01 <Wolf01> already 5 shutdowns this month :E
18:04:14 <Wolf01> 4 of them without causes
18:04:46 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
18:04:55 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... timetabling so that there won't be interruptions at the junction is crazy...
18:05:29 <Wolf01> do you use plain junctions?
18:05:55 <Eddi|zuHause> no, a flyover junction in this case. but they still "collide" at the join
18:06:29 <andythenorth> one line per train ;)
18:06:53 <Wolf01> resolving it with timetables might be a hard challenge
18:06:59 <Eddi|zuHause> don't have the space :)
18:07:32 <Eddi|zuHause> actually, it should be quite easy. just have to get the trains to the right positions so they won't already start delayed, screwing up the whole plan...
18:07:43 <V453000> let trains pre-accelerate into the junction
18:07:49 <Wolf01> it will last for a month
18:07:59 <Eddi|zuHause> two lines, 10 trains in total, roundrip synchronized at 40 days
18:08:15 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttd
18:08:16 <Eddi|zuHause> makes a train every 4 days
18:10:16 * andythenorth moves all the logging trucks and dump trucks to HEQS :P
18:11:31 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: what do you transport bulk cargo with then, without loading HEQS?
18:12:04 <Wolf01> HEQS is really good, I love those immense dump trucks
18:12:43 <Eddi|zuHause> speaking of HEQS, i think the industrial tram wagons are too narrow in | direction
18:18:43 <Wolf01> all is too narrow in | direction
18:19:15 <Wolf01> as it's too wide in --- direction
18:20:27 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: you use the normal trucks for bulk cargo
18:20:35 <andythenorth> there's no gain to adding more types
18:20:43 <andythenorth> makes no difference in gameplay

19:30:18 * andythenorth cuts 46 trucks down to 22
19:35:13 <Alberth> drastic measures this evening :)
19:39:31 * andythenorth had a revelation
19:40:07 <Rubidium> if a route needs that many trucks you're better off with ships ;)
19:45:36 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
19:45:52 <Eddi|zuHause> i hate when that happens
19:47:10 <Eddi|zuHause> some bug in either kaffeine or the video driver drags the whole x server with it
19:48:40 <andythenorth> truck types in game are dictated by drive-through and drive-in, not by real life types, or kinds of cargo :P
19:50:02 <Eddi|zuHause> i probably asked this before, but what's the linux equivalent of "keyb gr"?
19:50:45 <Eddi|zuHause> yes. and i didn't get it the last time either
19:51:12 <andythenorth> you lack a toddler
19:59:28 <frosch123> hmm, suddenly ctrl drag signal does no longer work...
20:02:37 <frosch123> ah, there is a hidden trackbit too much behind a foundation :p
20:12:05 <andythenorth> the downside of my new approach is that pretty much all trucks carry all cargos
20:12:14 <andythenorth> there's no 'this truck carries only express cargos' or such
20:14:04 <Nat_aS> is it possible to make industries or houses that produce passengers when they receive them?
20:14:14 <Nat_aS> to model tourism destinations and offices
20:14:30 <Nat_aS> so passengers will commute too and from them.
20:14:49 <frosch123> andythenorth: you should at least have open and closed stuff
20:15:29 <andythenorth> that's just graphics
20:16:33 <frosch123> by what else should they differ?
20:16:50 <andythenorth> yes, they vary by those 2 dimensions
20:16:57 <andythenorth> that's all really
20:17:08 <frosch123> speed is basically the same for everything, isn't it?
20:17:27 <andythenorth> per-generation yes
20:17:39 <andythenorth> although RL trucks are geared to the duty cycle they are expected to work
20:17:45 <andythenorth> so low or high ratios

21:19:39 <Chris_Booth> how many woods could a wood chuck, chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
21:21:28 <Rubidium> but Chuck is no more :(
21:43:57 <GT> Question of the day: will 32bpp artists ever be able to cooperate with ottd devs and vv?
21:49:46 <oskari892> When they are out of their anger, yes.
21:50:20 <oskari892> They are still angry because of png loading dropped out :P
21:53:02 <oskari892> That caused all their work to be partly redone :P
21:53:12 *** Progman has joined #openttd
21:53:13 <oskari892> They have to be coded.
21:53:41 <GT> I know, I am the upper whiner, fka GeekToo
21:55:20 <GT> But I sense a growing level of frustration on both sides, and that really is a shame
21:55:56 <GT> cause ez 32bpp zoom in trunk really is a great feature, we all should cherish
21:56:27 <GT> Well, maybe not all, but certainly the group that liked the Ez-patch
22:00:55 <GT> I think the anger is gone (justified or not), at least for me. So we have to deal with the new situation, convert tars to grfs.
22:10:12 <GT> But that leads to new conflict immediately, about the format of the extra zoom ground sprites.
22:13:08 <GT> A real good example of people not really communicating, but each camp telling their own story, without responding to the other side.
22:18:01 <GT> Devs seem to think: what is the problem, you are lazy, just convert to the new format of grf's, we'll even provide a script for you, so why don't ya start, bunch of whiners. And the artists are concerned about graphics quality, and think: I am not going to mutilate my sprites to these jagged edges. Discussion continues, devs are annoyed and call artists lazy, or propose to remove ez completely. What a waste of energy, the only problem is the lack of c
22:18:22 <V453000> idk, I dont quite understand why would there be some conflict :) I draw in 8bpp without any extra zoom or extra rotations, and I am just happy. On the other hand I think it will look amazing when a 32bpp ez and eventually extra rotations full set is complete
22:20:35 <V453000> or are there any actual _requirements_ on artists? I dont think there are, artists can just choose from more options now
22:20:42 <GT> Sure, it will look amazing, or not, depends on your personal taste. I really think that when devs and artists would start to cooperate, amazing things would be possible.
22:21:28 <V453000> well they kind of do? Devs provide possibilities, people use them. 32bpp is in every developed set now I heard
22:21:58 <V453000> I think that is a good cooperation already
22:24:45 <GT> No, I don't think so. There really are a lot of sprites available for EZ, but they will not be accepted for OGFX. That may have good reasons, but artists have worries about the graphics quality, and devs don't really respond to the worries, just keep repeating: this is the format we can offer, stick to it, ignoring the worries of the artists
22:25:30 <V453000> well, start a new base set?
22:25:48 <V453000> base set is just a big newGRF if you take it simply
22:26:05 <V453000> ofc OpenGFX is a bit more linked to OpenTTD, but still
22:26:10 <V453000> nobody prevents you from starting your own
22:29:05 <GT> Of course that would be possible. But in my opinion the best situation would be to cooperate on the best possible set for OTTD, not fight each other. Devs and artists should complement, not fight.
22:30:51 <V453000> that is like if I came to some train set author and told him I want my sprites in his set, even though the sprites are inappropriate for that set
22:30:59 <V453000> he will reject them as well of course
22:31:02 <V453000> if isnt just accept anything
22:31:13 <michi_cc> OpenGFX puts the principles of "do not glitch" and "compatibility with existing content" very high. This together with technical limitations that can't be changed by just modifying a few code lines leads to some restrictions.
22:31:22 <V453000> so well, if you feel like you have a different idea and want to do something else, make your own stuff
22:31:46 <michi_cc> Nothing stops someone interested from developing a base set with different top principles.
22:32:28 <V453000> restrictions, sure, but still, OpenGFX has some style in which it is drawn. I personally do not like it, so if I wanted to improve it, I would probably start a different project instead. Nothing about fighting, just adding another content
22:33:20 <V453000> just because bringing a different style in it would be disruptive
22:38:07 <GT> @michi_cc: and of course you are right about the glitches, and I completely agree: there should not be glitches in trunk graphics. But there are several ways to solve that problem, and every proposition seems to be completely ignored. I proposed to allow a limited overlap of sprites, to the extend of the jaggedness of the upscaled sprites. I think you would agree that would solve the problem too, without having to change the code?
22:42:44 <michi_cc> GT: OpenTTD redraws only what changed and not the whole screen (as that would be too slow), so you do not know which of the overlapping sprites will be on top and which at the bottom.
22:45:42 *** kkb110_ has joined #openttd
22:45:44 <GT> nonsense, the ground sprites are drawn in increasing order in x first, and then in y. Then the sprites with a foundation etc are drawn, and than the rest of the sprites, in an order determined b
22:46:59 <GT> Marking the section as dirty is at another level of the hierarchy
22:49:14 <GT> And the overlapping I proposed is limited to the jaggedness of the upscaled sprites, so it is present for every old newgrf without ez-zoom sprites already

23:12:52 <GT> I quot myself: But there are several ways to solve that problem, and every proposition seems to be completely ignored
23:13:59 <GT> And it is getting kind of quiet all of a sudden
23:17:29 <GT> I don't know if the proposition does not introduce new problems, but it would not need code change, and experimenting would be possible without code changes
continue to next day ⏵
