00:12:43 <Flygon> drac_boy: I am that lazy about depots :p
00:12:52 <Flygon> Issue is... when I autoreplace trains
00:13:01 <Flygon> It still misses depots half the time
00:16:30 *** MNIM is now known as Emmy-zZz
00:26:24 <Flygon> Pathfinding AI is horrid
00:26:38 <Flygon> At least, it's perfect... when not finding a depot
00:26:39 * peter1138 ponders off-map storage for signals
00:27:45 <drac_boy> forgot who it was in here tho...or is that still Alberth?
02:35:26 <Supercheese> Weird, my sound effects are only playing in temperate, and not in arctic or tropic
02:35:39 <Supercheese> sfx for my grf, I mean
02:41:09 <Supercheese> is there some strange things regarding sound effects and climate?
02:58:36 *** Supercheese has joined #openttd
03:59:00 <Supercheese> Wait, the Company Headquarters is treated like an Object, like company land and lighthouses?
04:03:11 <Supercheese> Then... then... newobjects can accept and generate cargo!
04:04:20 <Supercheese> Well, if someone codes support for it (which is the answer to many many questions) :P

05:29:12 <Nat_aS> I think it would be cool to have office buildings that you could build
05:29:42 <Nat_aS> that would either reduce operating costs by a fraction, or slowly improve the opinion of the nearest town
05:29:46 <Nat_aS> and cost upkeep themselves
05:30:40 <Nat_aS> the first would be priced so that there would be an ideal amount of office buildings depending on how big your company is
05:30:53 <Supercheese> all of those things are possible, you just have to much around in the source code
05:30:57 <Nat_aS> and the second would be similar in cost to repeated tree planting, just more streamlined
05:31:21 <Nat_aS> maybe another which improves station raitings
05:33:37 <Nat_aS> non track station buildings would be cool
05:33:52 <Nat_aS> ones that have mechanical features rather than just cosmetic ones that is
05:33:56 <Supercheese> station ratings are already controllable by grf
05:33:57 <Nat_aS> wherehouses, hotells, offices
05:35:08 <Nat_aS> wherehouses and hotells would raisestation raitings, but cost upkeep, you build them if you have lots of cargo and don't want it wasted, otherwise they are a waste of money
05:36:30 <Supercheese> It gets confusing, there's a popular clothing store called the Men's Wearhouse, play-on-words intended
05:56:18 *** Eddi|zuHause has joined #openttd
05:59:10 <Supercheese> Jeez, why won't my objects' sound effects play in arctic or tropic? They only play in temperate... :?
06:06:05 *** user54367644 has joined #openttd
06:20:41 <Supercheese> How do I test if an object is built at the edge of the map?
06:43:06 *** tokai|noir has joined #openttd
06:43:06 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai|noir
06:50:50 <Flygon> Expanding on that company office idea
06:51:03 <Flygon> How about industries also being interlinked and having office buildings?
06:51:12 <Flygon> eg. two steel mills are owned by the same 'company'
06:51:18 <Flygon> And it affects your ratings ect
06:51:45 <Supercheese> Eh, there's a lot of things I'd rather see happen before that
06:52:30 *** Flygon is now known as Flurret
06:52:40 * Flurret changes nicks for that extra earperk effect
06:52:45 *** Flurret is now known as Flygon
06:53:43 <Supercheese> Bridges-over-stations is being worked on, I'd like to see that hit trunk
06:54:25 <Flygon> Also, bus and tram stops on bridges would be nice
06:54:29 <Flygon> It happens in Melbourne!
06:55:00 <Supercheese> bridges-over-bridges
06:55:09 <Supercheese> yo dawg, I heard you like bridges...
06:55:22 <Flygon> I have a nice BoB screenie
06:56:54 <Flygon> Too bad it's VERY impractical
06:57:05 <Supercheese> is... that trunk-legal?
06:58:32 <Flygon> Note where bridge heads are placed
06:59:47 *** Pensacola has joined #openttd
07:00:11 <Supercheese> oh those are bridgeheads
07:01:01 <Supercheese> load it with a thousand vehicles and submit to screenshot competetion
07:01:08 <Supercheese> since the theme is "congestion"
07:01:19 <Supercheese> Caption: "Clearly we need to BUILD MORE BRIDGES"
07:01:31 <Flygon> Am I allowed to post screenies based off an existing scenario?
07:01:42 <Supercheese> check rules, but I think it's fine
07:03:01 <Flygon> Where are the screenshot contest?
07:03:05 <Flygon> And I need to find my save...
07:07:53 <Flygon> The bridges are even WORSE
07:10:23 <Supercheese> Man alive, bridges over bridges over bridges
07:11:41 <Flygon> You can take credit for the screenshot :p
07:12:43 <Markk> Flygon: I want that save as well. :o
07:12:51 <Markk> Flygon: Are you able to build bridges over bridges? :o
07:13:22 *** user54367644 has joined #openttd
07:13:30 <Eddi|zuHause> it's "only" bridges over bridgeheads
07:14:17 <Markk> I live about 25-30 miles from Södertälje IRL.
07:14:29 <Markk> Flygon: Can you PM the link to me?
07:14:35 <Markk> Flygon: I have to go to work now. :)

08:21:12 *** user54367644 has joined #openttd
08:37:46 <Pikka> and charlies everywhere
08:40:25 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
08:41:20 <peter1138> it's plainly obvious that 4x zoom and 32bpp should be removed
08:42:19 <peter1138> unless you do something cool
08:42:36 <Pikka> 32bpp is a bit unnecessary
08:43:06 <Pikka> but 4x zoom is nice for high res displays
08:43:42 <V453000> x2 is great, both for building and for looking
08:43:48 <V453000> x4 seems for newgrf development only to me
08:44:45 <Pikka> 4x on a 24 inch monitor looks almost like 640*480 on a 15 inch CRT :)
08:45:34 <V453000> if you sit 2 meters away from it :>
08:46:45 <V453000> but as much as I find x4 gameplay useless, I dont think removing it would help anything; though I find it really sad that extra zoom projects tend to majorly suck at 1x zoom
08:48:08 <V453000> the gold rush project looks promising, but again I havent seen how it looks in x1 and I am a bit afraid about the outcome there
08:48:14 <peter1138> i was't really serious
08:48:29 <V453000> I know it wasnt, but still
08:48:49 <Pikka> the gold rush project looks like three houses, a road tile and an oxcart
08:48:50 <peter1138> and lacks constrast
08:49:12 <peter1138> opengfx was also too dark originally
08:49:44 <V453000> I think dark can be okay, lack of contrast is outright a gigantic problem
08:49:58 <V453000> Pikka: pretty much, but it looks nice :P
08:50:12 <peter1138> the concrete bridge is ugly
08:50:22 <V453000> I actually really am considering making greyscale only set :) perhaps with occassional CC
08:50:26 <peter1138> recolour maps are not being used as intended
08:50:56 <Pikka> "recolour maps are not being used as intended" is my middle name
08:51:14 <peter1138> no it's not, you draw 8bpp
08:51:38 <Pikka> this is a different recolour maps are not being used as intended, then
08:53:16 <V453000> did Zephyris disappear again or did anyone hear about his activity?
08:58:25 *** ZxBiohazardZx has joined #openttd
08:59:46 <ZxBiohazardZx> runway translates to either startbaan (starting ) or landingsbaan (landing) in dutch
08:59:53 <ZxBiohazardZx> is there a way to distinguish them
09:00:00 <ZxBiohazardZx> or just use either of them for translation?
09:00:13 <V453000> I wonder how interesting would it be to draw various cargoes if you only had greyscale and eventually CC colours :D
09:00:25 <Pikka> probably landing, ZxBiohazardZx
09:00:27 <V453000> without any cheaty recolouring etc
09:00:39 <Pikka> those texts aren't even used at the moment anyway, since there's no newgrfairports :)
09:01:04 <ZxBiohazardZx> Preview Seaplane
09:01:10 <ZxBiohazardZx> is that like prototype or just example?
09:01:30 <peter1138> ZxBiohazardZx, what do you call a real runway? :S
09:01:44 <peter1138> does it change name depending on whether a plane is taking off or landing?
09:02:26 <Pikka> Een startbaan is in principe hetzelfde als een landingsbaan
09:03:07 <ZxBiohazardZx> @peter1138 either Startbaan or Landingsbaan
09:03:23 <ZxBiohazardZx> startbaan = landingsbaan but the name is based upon the useage
09:03:37 <ZxBiohazardZx> aka if its used as takeoff then the runway is named Startbaan for that time
09:03:45 <ZxBiohazardZx> if the runway is used for landing then we use landingsbaan
09:03:54 <__ln__> what if there's just one?
09:04:04 <Pikka> from the wikipedia article it looks like, in context, either "baan" or "runway" are also used. :)
09:04:15 <ZxBiohazardZx> it changes based on the plane using it :P
09:04:28 <peter1138> what if there is no plane using it?
09:04:34 <peter1138> it's just a thing on the ground
09:04:36 <ZxBiohazardZx> then its the last planes used :P
09:04:40 <Pikka> would just "baan" be acceptable for the av8 text, since the text is obviously in the context of aircraft?
09:04:52 <ZxBiohazardZx> i put landingsbaan :)
09:05:03 <ZxBiohazardZx> minimale baanlengte
09:05:07 <ZxBiohazardZx> could work fine :)
09:05:20 <ZxBiohazardZx> if no planes on it then its start/landingsbaan btw
09:05:29 <ZxBiohazardZx> as we cant determine the use, we tell both :P
09:05:32 <ZxBiohazardZx> stupid dutch i know
09:05:53 <ZxBiohazardZx> (Oversize) is that a scalar indication or?
09:06:17 <__ln__> and dutchmen are supposed to be flying ones
09:06:52 <ZxBiohazardZx> its a seaplane nation
09:06:59 <ZxBiohazardZx> and in water there are no runways
09:07:05 <Pikka> oversize is for modified aircraft which carry big things
09:07:17 <ZxBiohazardZx> i can leave it in for now
09:07:19 <Pikka> like the airbus beluga and boeing superguppy
09:07:23 <ZxBiohazardZx> dutch uses alot of english words anyway
09:07:40 <ZxBiohazardZx> Combi same deal
09:07:53 <ZxBiohazardZx> Combinatie would be doable, but combi is used in NL as well so
09:08:17 <ZxBiohazardZx> what about "(Sling)"
09:08:46 <Pikka> helicopters carrying a visible load suspended underneath them
09:09:13 <ZxBiohazardZx> ok so its a name and i wont try to translate :P
09:09:19 <ZxBiohazardZx> dutch word is most likely sling as well
09:09:55 <ZxBiohazardZx> either that or Draagband, but just no :)

14:47:29 <NGC3982> Look at the train loaded to 46% standing in the station.
14:48:20 <NGC3982> Why is the track in front of it reserved?
14:48:26 <NGC3982> I fail to see what i'm missing :)
14:48:59 <peter1138> cos... that's... how it works...
14:48:59 <NGC3982> It passed the station, entering depot for service and then turned back
14:49:03 <NGC3982> And reserved the track
14:49:56 <peter1138> you're describing the 0% train :p
14:52:04 <NGC3982> Yes, i am, im a tad confused
14:52:16 <NGC3982> But that messed it up
14:53:33 <NGC3982> By putting bi-directional signals efter the station
14:54:30 <Pinkbeast> Didn't we have this exact same question a day or two ago, with the reason being the same?
14:55:38 <NGC3982> Yes, that is what i realized
14:55:58 <NGC3982> As said, i have no idea what i'm doing.
15:08:08 <V453000> NGC3982: is that a hacked transrapid or what? :D
15:09:16 <Pinkbeast> This layout with trains arriving at a platform then passing through it to a depot then returning seems odd.
15:12:00 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, you should service the trains _before_ loading
15:13:13 <V453000> you shouldnt service your trains at all :>
15:13:53 <Eddi|zuHause> totally different argument :p
15:14:27 <V453000> very related however :)
15:14:47 <V453000> UNLESS your trains randomize power :P
15:15:28 * Pinkbeast isn't getting into that. If servicing is desired, this is an odd layout.
15:35:06 <Eddi|zuHause> V453000: you randomize power on every service?
15:35:21 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
15:41:42 <V453000> also on any_cargo_loaded and all_unloaded
16:18:41 <andythenorth> planetmaker: it's a good analogy :)
16:18:59 <planetmaker> yup. I bookmarked that posting for future reference :-)
16:20:47 * andythenorth has been doing Other Things
16:20:58 <andythenorth> including Not Writing Code
16:21:02 <andythenorth> and Not Playing The Game
16:21:40 <peter1138> verison 2.0 should introduce 3d!
16:21:47 <peter1138> i reckon not, myself
16:22:04 <andythenorth> I am thinking that it should introduce deathmatch
16:22:20 <andythenorth> and penalty shootouts
16:22:25 <andythenorth> I do love the v2.0 topic
16:22:36 <peter1138> hey, let's code subsidaries
16:22:46 <andythenorth> maybe an easter egg where you can play Chuckie Egg?
16:22:54 <andythenorth> Chuckie Easter Egg
16:23:07 <peter1138> original subsidiaries, heh
16:23:11 <planetmaker> 2D... yes, might indeed want to introduce 3D. But not sure really. But it could indeed introduce some kind of 3D: Like the option to supply objects newgrf-way as 3D-objects + textures, not as sprites. Especially vehicles
16:23:15 <andythenorth> there are british people here?
16:23:40 <andythenorth> that explains why we're not having a BROS style falling out hten
16:23:55 <peter1138> don't eat the piles of purple seed
16:23:56 <planetmaker> rotation... maybe. height layers, surely with sub-terrain
16:24:33 <peter1138> is people who think ttd's graphics are "dated"
16:24:45 <planetmaker> easy newgrf-checks and problem-free additions of vehicles, houses and objects
16:24:51 <andythenorth> let's update those people
16:25:17 <andythenorth> but if we update the graphics we can become truly successful
16:25:21 <andythenorth> and attract a lot more players
16:25:30 <andythenorth> by competing with the latest console games
16:26:04 <peter1138> i have trouble believing the top picture looks bad and the rest look better
16:26:37 <andythenorth> someone should tell zeph that sprites are not very outdated
16:27:00 <andythenorth> a vast number of flash and mobile games suggest that sprites are alive and well :P
16:27:35 <peter1138> an example of outdated graphics that look bad are some (but not all) early attempts at 3d
16:27:45 <peter1138> doom doesn't look too bad
16:27:49 <andythenorth> doom fricking rocks
16:27:56 * andythenorth might play doom again
16:27:59 <peter1138> anything on the n64 looks terrible (n64 doom paradox!)
16:28:09 <andythenorth> I played shareware doom at christmas
16:28:12 <Pikka> doom is all sprites though
16:28:14 <andythenorth> did 100% of secrets, got bored :P
16:28:23 <andythenorth> mariokart has sprites in it
16:28:28 <peter1138> Pikka, only for objects
16:28:36 <peter1138> walls are textures, just not blurred
16:28:41 <andythenorth> it is actually texture mapped
16:28:52 <andythenorth> I got a lecture in more detail than I wanted about doom engine :P
16:29:01 <Pikka> you can have high resolution, anti-aliased geometry
16:29:20 <Pikka> with textures designed to look nice on a 480p CRT television screen
16:29:25 <andythenorth> what *we* should do is make a decent truck set and a decent ship set
16:30:24 <Pikka> tell dan to hurry up with those sailing ships :)
16:30:50 <peter1138> high res finescale tracks
16:31:10 <peter1138> see the problem with 32bpp
16:31:16 <peter1138> is people thing you don't need to use a palette any more
16:31:16 <Pikka> but no, apparently extra zoom 32bpp tracks need to look like they're made of lego
16:31:24 <peter1138> show me an artist without a palette?
16:31:33 <peter1138> actually don't but yeah
16:31:44 <peter1138> lego? lego tracks? what?
16:32:04 <Pikka> every extra-zoom trackage I've seen so far looks like a toy, so I assumed that's a requirement :)
16:32:24 <Pikka> I stand corrected then!
16:32:57 <andythenorth> maybe we should just make a lego ttd
16:33:05 <andythenorth> with new mindstorms
16:33:11 <andythenorth> I'll rent us a building somewhere :P
16:33:25 <andythenorth> how many square feet will we need for a 512x256 map?

16:35:40 <peter1138> TrueBrain, what happened to your lego set?
16:36:04 <peter1138> zbase could do with using the same scale as ttd
16:37:06 * Pikka is covered in grazes from falling off my bike today and I just absentmindedly scratched one :)
16:41:50 <peter1138> small station building is about twice as tall as it should be
16:43:08 <andythenorth> small station building is odd
16:44:17 <andythenorth> if I troll the BROS thread more, hyronymus will mod me :P
16:46:12 <andythenorth> peter1138 turns out this is pretty good
16:47:24 <andythenorth> a long-dead idea in FIRS was that you would have to deliver building material to industries to construct them :P

19:36:39 <NGC3982> Eddi|zuHause: Oh, should i? I fail to find that in my North Korean OpenTTD Rule Book.
19:37:25 <NGC3982> V453000: 16:08 < V453000> NGC3982: is that a hacked transrapid or what? :D
19:38:00 <NGC3982> Took the train home from Nose Lake
19:38:15 * NGC3982 is a bit embarrased over Swedish town names.
19:41:28 <__ln__> NGC3982: btw, how ignorant of finnish towns are swedes?
19:42:06 <NGC3982> __ln__: I ..uhm, have no idea.
19:42:10 <NGC3982> __ln__: In what context?
19:44:11 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:44:37 <__ln__> NGC3982: i was on a work trip near stockholm, and was telling some educated person which town we come from. and he had no idea where is 'turku' or 'åbo' in finland.
19:44:59 <__ln__> (and the word educated is not sarcasm, otherwise he seemed quite smart)
19:46:26 <valhallasw> Aabo! They have a physics show there. [/random fact]
19:48:50 <__ln__> åbo was the third biggest city after stockholm and göteborg in the kingdom of sweden, back then.
19:49:18 <NGC3982> __ln__: There is a steep knowledge barrier between Swedes and Fins. I do not know if it's the same for both, but Swedes know very little about Finland, compared with the common knowledge of Danish and Norweigan culture.
19:49:36 <NGC3982> I know bo, but i have no idea where to place it on a map.
19:49:42 <NGC3982> I think i have heard of Turku.
19:50:00 <__ln__> those two are the same thing
19:51:03 <__ln__> so in conclusion, swedes are indeed ingnorant of finnish geography and history.
19:52:21 <NGC3982> __ln__: I would say that the education is non-existant.
19:53:19 <NGC3982> Since this is Sweden, all the history education regarding Finnish people always concetrate to small sniper dudes being a bitch on Hitlers forces.
19:53:21 <andythenorth> wrt spelling 'existent'
19:53:21 <__ln__> i can understand it's a bit embarrassing to lose such a big piece of land to russia.
19:53:42 <NGC3982> __ln__: I actually do not know why, but it's true.
19:54:08 <NGC3982> __ln__: Most Swedes have no idea we lost anything to Russia.
19:54:34 <NGC3982> __ln__: Thus, i do not think there are any real reasons to not learning more about Finland in school
19:54:42 <NGC3982> And that it sucks that we don't.
19:54:46 <__ln__> i'm beginning to be really worried about the level of education in swedish schools.
19:55:35 <__ln__> NGC3982: are you aware that for quite some time finland was allied with hitler's forces?
19:55:50 <andythenorth> V453000 :) to your 32bpp post
19:56:16 <NGC3982> __ln__: Yes, i was. I do not know if other Swedes knows that.
19:57:05 <NGC3982> __ln__: Seriosly, though: I'm so sick of our schools teaching students nothing BUT WW2 history.
19:57:12 <Wolf01> I'm already worried about the level of education in italian schools
19:57:21 <NGC3982> Yes, jews had a hard time. Yes, Hitler was not a nice guy. We know it. Please do something else.
19:57:49 <NGC3982> Pol pots? Nothing. Guevara? Nothing. North Korea? Nothing!
19:58:21 <andythenorth> have I stumbled into the wrong channel?
19:58:27 <andythenorth> I recognise all the names here :P
19:58:32 <andythenorth> what are we talking about?
19:59:13 <NGC3982> He pressed a sensitive button.
20:00:30 <__ln__> Wolf01: are you told in the school that there are other countries in the world, with people who do not speak italian?
20:01:38 <Wolf01> yeah, I have been told
20:01:43 <NGC3982> __ln__: But sure, it's getting worses in Swedish schools, but i can't really say im worried.
20:01:58 <NGC3982> This has happend before.
20:02:26 <NGC3982> Though, OpenTTD related
20:03:18 <NGC3982> What factors are looked on when decided how much a train should accelerate X tonnes of weight?
20:03:56 <NGC3982> Since, when just looking at it i find some discorrelation (if that is even a word) between tractive effort, horse power and weight.
20:04:01 <NGC3982> But that might be just me..?
20:05:20 <peter1138> TE, power, weight, drag (two types)
20:06:02 <NGC3982> I thought drag (and all that) was a part of the tractive effort
20:06:16 <__ln__> you're getting awfully on-topic
20:06:41 <NGC3982> __ln__: I love Helsinki, by the way. Been there once now, and it's fantastic.
20:07:04 <peter1138> well technically max TE is determined by friction
20:07:21 <peter1138> so what's the discorrelation you saw?
20:07:55 <NGC3982> peter1138: Just by comparing different trains with different values for TE, power and weight.
20:08:23 <peter1138> airdrag is a vehicle properties that isn't shown any where
20:08:30 <peter1138> airdrag coefficient, that is
20:09:04 <__ln__> NGC3982: sadly the people living there also think the same.
20:09:09 <NGC3982> And that is what i see then
20:09:16 *** Djohaal has joined #openttd
20:09:56 <peter1138> so what's the problem there?
20:10:00 <NGC3982> Here, for instance. The EMD engine accelerates way (way) faster
20:10:25 <Rubidium> andythenorth: you forgot the most important thing... the undo knob
20:10:32 <NGC3982> But are longer and heavier. Half the horsepower, and a sixth of the TE.
20:10:35 <andythenorth> why would I want to undo a knob?
20:11:03 <andythenorth> NGC3982: what's the weight of the engines?
20:11:27 <Rubidium> andythenorth: to undo the last X seconds when you crashed a train
20:11:40 <andythenorth> oh, like autosave you mean? :P
20:11:44 <NGC3982> Please note that my observation regards both trains when fully loaded.
20:11:54 <andythenorth> 'undo knob' would be a more interesting button
20:11:56 <Rubidium> andythenorth: yes, but only for the train you're controlling
20:11:57 <NGC3982> peter1138: Yes, empty. As in "nothing loaded in the unit" :-)
20:12:29 <andythenorth> I wondered if it was just pure TE - weight relation
20:12:37 <andythenorth> but I actually don't care :P
20:12:38 <peter1138> so you noticed it when fully-loaded
20:12:45 <peter1138> but took a pic when it's empty
20:13:03 <NGC3982> Yes, i just took it know. What other data differs from empty to full besides weight?
20:13:17 <peter1138> weight differs massively
20:13:26 * NGC3982 looks for fully loaded trains.
20:16:07 <NGC3982> I have no idea why it runs on electrified rails. Might that have something to do with it?
20:16:14 <V453000> andythenorth: is the ":)" the thing to that post? :D
20:16:24 <V453000> expected you would continue the saying :D
20:16:37 <peter1138> have you been changing grfs?
20:17:51 <peter1138> anyway, maglev uses a different acceleration "model"
20:17:56 <peter1138> (it looks made up to me)
20:18:32 *** Supercheese has joined #openttd
20:18:41 <peter1138> max_te isn't used though
20:18:45 <peter1138> so it shouldn't be shown
20:18:49 <peter1138> so whatever you did...
20:18:56 <NGC3982> And no, i haven't changed it.
20:19:27 <andythenorth> maglev doesn't rely on weight for TE? :O
20:19:43 <peter1138> it doesn't touch the ground!
20:19:45 <Supercheese> actually it's well insulated, you wouldn't get shocked ;)
20:20:05 <V453000> it is possible to hack it if you change rail newgrfs I think
20:20:41 <andythenorth> ho, we're on reddit o_O
20:20:52 <peter1138> why do people post that shit on reddit?
20:21:07 <Supercheese> reddit, really? :S
20:21:20 <Supercheese> oh it's that trainmaster fellow
20:21:47 <Supercheese> he managed to make my ignore list, I think there's only two users on that
20:22:40 <Supercheese> Oh ho, there are actually 7 users on my ignore list, interesting
20:22:49 <andythenorth> how did I manage to make FIRS require petrol to grow towns?
20:22:58 <andythenorth> I don't recall doing that :P
20:23:25 <Supercheese> andy is going to troll reddit like mad, just you wait
20:23:55 <andythenorth> is reddit approximately slashdot?
20:24:01 <andythenorth> I never bothered figuring out what reddit is
20:24:28 <Supercheese> a wretched hive of scum and villany, perhaps :P
20:24:47 <Supercheese> I dunno much about it either
20:25:06 <Supercheese> I think the co-founder committed suicide recently
20:25:47 <Supercheese> bad website, the url says all you need to know really
20:26:07 <Supercheese> autoplay videos and shit, why do webpages do that
20:26:25 <andythenorth> makes them money, temporarily
20:26:35 <andythenorth> via (possibly fraudulent) ad networks
20:27:01 <andythenorth> assuming its ads
20:27:04 <andythenorth> otherwise, dunno
20:27:14 <Supercheese> "this shit happened today"
20:29:50 <Supercheese> huh, that new airport-tiles-as-objects set looks neat
20:38:10 <planetmaker> newnewbridges. newnewobjects. newnewstations (with sane specs)
20:38:56 <planetmaker> sure you want that? Me as pesky teenager?
20:39:06 <andythenorth> I thought you were?
20:39:22 <planetmaker> pesky... maybe. Teenager... at half my age, yes
20:40:31 *** andythenorth is now known as andythetroll
20:40:35 <andythetroll> Supercheese: hi hi
20:40:48 <planetmaker> great posting indeed, andythetroll :-)
20:40:59 <andythetroll> I know trolling is just wrong...and yet
20:41:44 <planetmaker> you're excused, andythetroll
20:42:00 <Supercheese> Vote mode worked! :O
20:42:12 <Supercheese> Vote for ALL the things
20:43:09 <planetmaker> that'd be good, Supercheese
20:43:17 <planetmaker> then we just set priorities - as now ;-)
20:43:45 <Terkhen> andythetroll: the point of pasting that to you was the "you can place infinite hotels next to each other" issue :P
20:44:05 *** andythetroll is now known as andythenorth
20:44:08 <andythenorth> Terkhen: so I see :)
20:44:13 <andythenorth> he put it in the thread too :)
20:44:38 <andythenorth> might use pikka's point about MP
20:44:42 <andythenorth> don't play with dickheads
20:44:42 <Supercheese> Screw everything, just build Star Trek transporters
20:44:51 <Supercheese> teleport all the things, win
20:44:52 <Terkhen> just a small distance check should be enough, IMO
20:44:59 <andythenorth> peter1138: is our server game still running? :P
20:45:02 <peter1138> Supercheese, did you figure out bounding boxes?
20:45:11 <peter1138> i should... update it
20:45:14 <Supercheese> bounding boxes, more or less
20:45:33 <Supercheese> is there a way to check if an object is build at the map edge?
20:45:51 <Supercheese> the 2px overlap to adjacent tiles looks a wee strange when it overlaps the black void
20:46:11 <peter1138> just wondering if you'd just ctrl-B
20:46:30 <Supercheese> been using ctrl B
20:46:44 <Supercheese> the alignment is just tedious
20:47:02 <Supercheese> trying to position these childsprites relative to the parent sprite
20:47:50 <Supercheese> but that's sorted now
20:48:33 <andythenorth> peter1138: I don't want to play MP anyway, not until you've stopped pikka griefing me :(
20:48:36 <andythenorth> it's all so unfair
20:49:06 <andythenorth> crashing my buses :(
20:49:26 <andythenorth> oh and some idiot built a castle and ruined the map
20:49:38 <frosch123> thanks andy :) going from train-only to hovercraft in the next item is just brilliant :)
20:49:55 <andythenorth> frosch123: that's fine right though?
20:49:59 <andythenorth> I mean it all fits
20:50:06 <andythenorth> if it doesn't, it's because the code is old
20:50:09 <andythenorth> and needs modernising
20:51:14 <andythenorth> anyway, so FIRS hotels are too cheap
20:51:25 <andythenorth> and lots can be built in MP to cheat
20:51:32 <andythenorth> so how expensive should they be to prevent that?
20:51:51 <andythenorth> I mean, how much is enough to stop people building lots of them?
20:52:00 <Terkhen> double the cost and do not let them be built next to each other
20:52:49 <andythenorth> omg, I've just had a totally awesome idea
20:54:50 <andythenorth> no I had a better one even
20:55:03 <andythenorth> idea 1. make a parameter for every action 0 prop and every cb result
20:55:11 <andythenorth> for every industry and cargo
20:55:15 *** jasperthecat1 has joined #openttd
20:55:19 <andythenorth> allows pretty comprehensive customisation
20:55:35 <andythenorth> idea 2 is even better
20:55:43 <Supercheese> make parameters to determine the number of parameters
20:55:44 <andythenorth> make a parameter for every sprite number
20:55:54 <andythenorth> the value of which is an arbitrary string of nfo
20:55:54 <Supercheese> i.e. "show only basic parameters"
20:56:02 <Supercheese> "show all/expert parameters"
20:56:11 <andythenorth> no no that's silly
20:56:15 <andythenorth> my idea is sensible
20:56:26 <andythenorth> with my idea, players could runtime-patch any grf
20:56:35 <Supercheese> nested parameters
20:56:52 <peter1138> most important point:
20:56:56 <andythenorth> making a guy is quite different
20:56:57 <peter1138> what colour should the window be?
20:57:00 <andythenorth> I've made guys and guis
20:57:03 <andythenorth> they're not the same
20:57:17 <peter1138> i've noticed that everything is grey these days, except the terrain-build tools
20:57:18 <andythenorth> peter1138: red is nice
20:57:28 <andythenorth> I have a red truck. It's off the road, I broke it
20:57:56 <andythenorth> what etc does your gui do?
20:58:09 <jasperthecat1> That's my favorite color, yellow.
20:58:33 <peter1138> routing restrictions
20:58:43 <peter1138> not sure if there's a point to it yet
20:59:30 <peter1138> i mean, you could do it all with orders ;p
21:00:47 <frosch123> you want colourful tto windows? :)
21:01:37 *** supermop has joined #openttd
21:01:52 <Supercheese> New advanced setting! Window color! 32bpp!
21:02:00 <Supercheese> Exclamation point!
21:02:06 <peter1138> advanced patch setting: TTO style GUI :D
21:02:20 <Supercheese> Semitransparent windows
21:02:31 <Supercheese> Like Windows windows
21:02:41 <peter1138> i like the fact that the button background is still in the ttd graphics, but not used
21:02:42 <Supercheese> or I guess other OSes maybe
21:03:06 <peter1138> at least i think it is
21:03:07 <frosch123> i think ogfx omitted them
21:03:12 <frosch123> after wondering what they were :)
21:03:53 <frosch123> yes, they are in original graphics; there was some riddle during ogfx development what the sprites were supposed for
21:04:14 <frosch123> there are still 3 recolour sprites left though
21:04:19 <frosch123> which were never discovered
21:05:42 <Supercheese> have a class, bbl
21:07:06 <NGC3982> frosch123: Look's kinda cute.
21:09:01 <andythenorth> V453000: so did you make SuperCHIPS yet?
21:09:19 <frosch123> nuts & chips -> snaks
21:12:02 <V453000> andythenorth: it is in progress, I made one
21:12:10 <V453000> rest should be done by a minion
21:12:13 <V453000> if minion gets bored, I do it
21:12:31 <andythenorth> minions are in short supply
21:12:57 <andythenorth> 404 on minions though
21:13:09 <andythenorth> V453000: what do you actually want to do? NUTS version of CHIPS?
21:13:23 <andythenorth> I missed the start of the idea ;)
21:13:50 <V453000> andythenorth: the only original idea was to have a station set which shows all cargoes
21:13:59 <V453000> as in rubber, grain, stuff, stuff, everything
21:14:11 <V453000> and nuts ofc has all cargoes drawn so I give minion cargoes, he does bidding
21:15:51 <Rubidium> that doesn't look like tto
21:16:36 <andythenorth> bit zoomy for tto
21:16:49 <andythenorth> or was it that big?
21:17:02 <andythenorth> it's ~ half my life ago :P
