00:00:32 <Rubidium> TACOS: catch mosquitos and eat them
00:00:35 <TACOS> and i found it in the IRC channel
00:00:47 <TACOS> one thing is, i never catch the mosquetos
00:01:04 <TACOS> imma make a microwave burrito
00:01:54 <Rubidium> yuck... microwave food
00:05:04 <TACOS> why did the A/C have to catch on fire --
00:05:53 <Rubidium> gosh... were you a tour guide this morning on a Toronto tour bus?
00:06:35 <Rubidium> if so, hi Morgan, and that's for making it a quiz why something was the way it is and always having the answer "because a fire"
00:11:21 <TACOS> done making the burrito
00:13:14 <TACOS> my dog's panting and im worried my guinea pig could die of heat exaustion
00:13:55 <TACOS> i heard ideal temperature for guinea pigs is 70-79 F
00:14:44 <Rubidium> it's only like 20 here
00:15:56 <TACOS> god only about 68 F over there?
00:17:19 <TACOS> oh shit you live in Cali?
00:17:38 <TACOS> how the fuck is it hotter in Michigan than California
00:18:20 <TACOS> this has my locatiob wrong
00:18:33 <TACOS> so you probably live somewhere else
00:18:37 <Rubidium> anyhow, later this week they forecast a 'feels like' temperature of 41C or 106F or 314K for here
00:18:53 <Rubidium> though even now it's than Hell here
00:19:25 <TACOS> this says i live in Oregon, i live in Michigan
00:19:43 <TACOS> what state or country do you live?
00:19:59 <Rubidium> (although that's a province)
00:20:15 <Rubidium> and I don't mean the better known town
00:20:28 <TACOS> netherlands, thats actually reasonable the temperature difference
00:26:31 <TACOS> OTTD-5 ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! Player TACOS has earned achievement: Dissociative Identity Disorder
00:28:21 <TACOS> lol joining stations wont work
00:44:04 *** TACOS_ is now known as TACOS

01:45:55 <Mister_Argent> Quick question -- assuming both installs are vanilla, could a multiplayer save be moved between two OpenTTD installs?
01:46:18 <Mister_Argent> and how well would a laptop with a dual-core Turion CPU and 4gb of RAM fare as a dedicated server?

02:31:52 <Mister_Argent> My company isn't making much money right now and it's lost most of what it had because a player tried to set up air traven infrastructure before we had the financial strength to cover the overhead...
02:33:42 <Mister_Argent> ...oh crap, the lumber mill that was supposed to save my town closed down just as soon as i got a train moving to it
03:32:10 <Mister_Argent> Aaaaarg, my co-op buddy keeps taking loans even though i asked her to stop doing that last night
03:33:42 <Mister_Argent> See, i don't care if we really need the money, i don't want to have to pay all that back later...
03:37:58 <Mister_Argent> Arg. the AI is doing better than us...

08:39:49 <NGC3982> i think i have an idea of a scenario
08:40:08 <NGC3982> i just spent five days on the swedish island "land"
08:41:18 <NGC3982> it has some strange agriculture and bearies (strawberrys and common sea-buckhorn) exports
08:42:02 <NGC3982> and the whole island is a unesco heritage site

10:47:55 *** Industrial has joined #openttd
10:48:49 <Industrial> How do I efficiently upgrade trains to better locomotives? I find that as I upgrade and start to use newer (Diesel) enignes, the faster trains stop much more and the lines get congested.
10:49:18 <Industrial> Wish I could just replace a whole groups' locomotives at once :p
10:53:02 <Eddi|zuHause> Industrial: in the train list, there is a "manage list" dropdown, where you can set up autoreplace
10:54:36 <NGC3982> Industrial: and in addition to what Eddi|zuHause say, you will also need to cope with trains of "mixed speeds" using the same local railway system. you might want to updrage your systems to better support train meetings/drive-by's before using the autoreplace function
10:54:47 <NGC3982> if you run out of money during the autoreplacing, for instance.
11:02:31 * NGC3982 ponders on the reliability of the wiki entries.
11:05:13 <Industrial> is what I'm doing now. I can get in the millions over time but I just don't know how to improve and if I keep pushing all goods to 1 town (fun to see it grow) it will deadlock eventually :P
11:12:24 <V453000> is that AI building ?
11:12:58 <NGC3982> i would suggest removing some exit signaling.
11:15:56 <Industrial> I figured if I put one signal at the exit station after the tracks that combine the station tracks to put the light on green faster for the other trains waiting to exit ..

11:47:46 <Eddi|zuHause> Industrial: that is true, but it is also easier to lock up when the line is congested. if you worry about througput, make the exit doubletracked until the next signal, so an entire train fits between the end of the junction and the signal, then merge the lines
11:49:15 <Eddi|zuHause> Industrial: the point is that a train waiting at the exit signal will block trains going into the opposite direction
11:54:40 <NGC3982> its easy to think that more signals will make more line security
11:54:48 <NGC3982> when it (sometimes) means the opposite

13:00:13 <Achilleshiel> hello question, can you make changes to the openttd code with newgrf or do you need to hardcode it in to ottd?
13:01:07 <glx> newgrfs are extensions, not code changes
13:02:12 <Achilleshiel> so you cannot add functions.

16:26:47 <TrueBrain> 3 minutes to reply ... I am disapointed nobody manged to get a reply out in that time
16:26:59 <TrueBrain> bad support platform we have here, pffff *insert sarcasm where required*
16:27:52 <Prof_Frink> Maybe he doesn't realise you can be in 2 channels at once
16:28:05 <TrueBrain> he left the server, not a channel

16:28:55 <Prof_Frink> Probably hammering F5 in hope of an answer.
16:29:07 <Eddi|zuHause> webchat is the new aol
16:29:39 <V453000> F5 solves everything.
16:30:13 <Prof_Frink> To be fair, TT-F has had web chat since the dawn of time.
16:30:15 <Eddi|zuHause> F5 is the new Ctrl+Alt+Del
16:31:19 <Eddi|zuHause> the aol-decline is already 10-ish years ago

22:02:17 <planetmaker> hm ok :-) sleep well
22:02:47 <planetmaker> my question was: would a special plural form (analog to gender) make sense for Swedish
22:03:40 <planetmaker> and I read you had some reservations about the naming
22:11:57 <Zuu> Yes, the proposed naming uses possible more academically correct wordings, but I had to use google to figure out what they ment. An alternative is to use perhaps formally incorect but easier terms. Eg the two different words that are used for "a/an" in Swedish that is the consequence of the proposed genders.
22:12:35 <Zuu> Instead of utrum/neutrum it could say en/ett in WT
22:13:27 <Zuu> But its probably good to either involv tt-forums or the translator who proposed utrum/neutrum before going for my alternative suggestion.
22:48:50 <Mister_Argent> oh god the android port of OpenTTD is wierd
22:52:59 <Mister_Argent> why is there no way to use the mouse emulator that's not awkward
22:53:10 <Mister_Argent> why is there no "Move the cursor where the screen is touched" mode
22:54:41 <Rubidium> Mister_Argent: ask the person that did the port; hint, (s)he hasn't annouced him/herself here yet
22:55:06 <Mister_Argent> i was imagining it'd be a proper port, but it appears to be a hasty SDL job like the Android version of Ur-Quan Masters
22:55:28 <Mister_Argent> see, i could see a proper port of OpenTTD working really well on Android tablets
22:57:42 <Mister_Argent> Using just the mouse plus some keyboard stuff, it seems like it'd be fairly simple to adapt to touch
