10:57:18 <Pikka> I especially enjoy the way they explain that it doesn't actually look like that
10:57:41 <Pikka> it only looks that way because of the 24fps camera
11:04:13 <Pikka> are we doing racing car impressions?
11:39:11 <Flygon> So, we need a 600fps camera, and then a good CRT?
11:50:32 *** tokai|noir has joined #openttd
11:50:32 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai|noir
11:56:27 <Eddi|zuHause> your eyes only see 15-18fps
12:02:42 <Pikka> your eyes don't see any fps
12:04:14 <Pikka> but anyway, that water would just look like a splashy fan of water IRL, it's only because the camera catches the water in a particular phase each time that it appears to have a static shape.
12:06:35 <Pikka> this is also why they don't use sodium bulbs or old-fashioned fluorescent tubes in machinery shops ;)
12:07:23 <Pikka> they have a steady flicker which is too fast for the human eye to see, but can make, for example, a spinning saw blade appear to be stationary.
12:08:13 <Pinkbeast> "and then comedy ensued"
12:12:31 <Eddi|zuHause> ok, i should phrase that differently: your the receptors of your eyes are slower than any movie fps, which is why movies appear "smooth". it is, however not an "off/on" kind of fps, it's an "integrating" kind, i.e. all light impressions over some time are added up to one single picture in the brain
12:18:31 <__ln__> but you see a clear difference between 24 fps movies and the 48 fps Hobbit.

12:32:45 <andythenorth> I went to the pub
12:32:49 <andythenorth> now I went to the working
12:33:14 <andythenorth> the pub then sleep then work
12:33:42 <Pikka> for a given value of it, certainly
12:34:37 <Ammler> you test fails, that is why i failed
12:35:00 <Ammler> you could also disable the whole windows building part
12:35:22 <Pikka> carry on sergeant, too, andythenorth
12:35:28 <Eddi|zuHause> let me read that first :)
12:35:39 <Pikka> with doctor who and bob monkhouse
12:36:26 <andythenorth> car transporters?
12:36:36 <Ammler> (well, not that it matters, would just speed up things...)
12:37:13 <Pikka> as a gudes subtype and/or vehicles cargo
12:37:29 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: should be fixed
12:37:39 <Pikka> you can leave that to me though, I'll do some cars as part of hoqus or something for the benefit of towncar AI
12:39:57 <Ammler> just run the regression locally, you can also run just one test
12:43:17 <Ammler> it is called eddi-nml-r2074-suse1230.noarch.rpm
12:46:13 <Pikka> andythenorth: are you going to do mostly/exclusively UK wagons, if any? :)
12:46:30 <andythenorth> wholly lacking inspration
12:46:38 <Pikka> just want to make sure we don't duplicate an effort
12:46:44 <andythenorth> what other countrees are you working on?
12:46:54 <Pikka> once I've got the UK and US locos done I'll let you play with the grfs
12:46:55 *** Pensacola has joined #openttd
12:48:20 <andythenorth> we have a Hornby catalogue here in the office for work-related reasons
12:48:23 <andythenorth> maybe I look in that :P
12:50:00 <Pikka> don't worry about doing loads, btw, because I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to do those yet
12:52:54 *** TheMask96 has joined #openttd
12:56:45 <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: I would fix it on nml and you pull it, ok?
12:58:30 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: i'm kinda busy the next few minutes, so i won't react
12:58:37 <Eddi|zuHause> just do what you think :)
12:59:24 <Ammler> well, committed, you can either pull or whatever :-P
13:08:38 <Eddi|zuHause> whatever that did, it hopelessly confused my checkout :/
13:09:31 <Ammler> hmm, I thought, you don't have time?
13:11:20 <Eddi|zuHause> well, that occasionally changes :)
13:11:30 <Ammler> guess, the support for build branches is broken :-)
13:12:09 <Ammler> or I am just stupid, it is suffix, not prefix :-(
13:13:31 <Ammler> oh, and we need a new grfcodec
13:14:34 <Eddi|zuHause> how do i discard an attempted merge?
13:14:34 *** oskari892 has joined #openttd
13:16:27 <Eddi|zuHause> i have done hg merge but not hg commit, and now whatever i try it says "uncommited merge"
13:16:36 <Ammler> what did I break with the merge?
13:16:53 <Eddi|zuHause> not, you, i did...
13:19:07 <Eddi|zuHause> Abbruch: outstanding uncommitted merges
13:21:07 <Ammler> ah well, my mind is case insensitiv
13:22:53 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: the tar.gz still have the wrong name?
13:23:27 <Eddi|zuHause> "nml" instead of "eddi-nml"?
13:23:43 <Ammler> not such file in the list afaik
13:24:21 <Ammler> I guess, that would need editing setup.py
13:24:22 <Eddi|zuHause> it seems wrong/confusing
13:24:49 <Ammler> well, it does not matter for devzone, it is your fork, do what you like with it :-P
13:25:33 <Ammler> I would not change too much things on the fork, easier to pull back
13:27:16 <Ammler> oh, and btw. pull cets :-P
13:33:09 <Eddi|zuHause> warning: i now break everything(tm)
13:34:45 <Eddi|zuHause> oh, Belugas lives an hour earlier than usual :)
13:37:21 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
13:38:41 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
13:39:20 <Belugas> we're living under US time now :S
13:42:17 <__ln__> i thought they didn't have any territorial demands against you
13:47:01 <Belugas> tell that to our pal Steven Harper :S
14:02:28 <Eddi|zuHause> something is not right :/
14:03:07 <Eddi|zuHause> cets.rgf only 27kb :/
14:03:53 <Sacro> stupid coworker, check whether a subnet is used locally before getting a VPN to use it
14:08:03 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: can the make on devzone be "verbose"?
14:10:09 <Eddi|zuHause> thank you, tautology cat.
14:11:22 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: i might need some temporary playground to figure out what's different on the devzone build environment than my own build environment
14:12:38 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: i think dependencies are called in the wrong order
14:12:47 <Eddi|zuHause> which may be my fault
14:13:07 <Ammler> either you tell me what to change or you copy it to your project and customize
14:15:10 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: the problem is, i don't know what to change without trying it out
14:15:33 <Ammler> could it be a issue of grfcodec?
14:15:37 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: so i'd need some test system at the "make" step
14:15:44 <Ammler> since it has a new libpng
14:15:58 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: no, something before that step is wrong
14:16:17 <Eddi|zuHause> the cets.nfo on the bundles page has empty engine files in it
14:16:42 <Eddi|zuHause> so something in the generation or assembly process went wrong/different
14:17:36 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: that you pass "--nfo cets.nfo" in NML_FLAGS sounds fishy, though
14:18:43 <Ammler> make %{?_smp_mflags} bundle_zip ZIP="7za a" ZIP_FLAGS="-tzip -mx9" NML_FLAGS="-c --nfo %{name}.nfo"
14:19:03 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, why do you do that?
14:19:33 <Ammler> well, some wanted to have nfo for debug
14:19:56 <Eddi|zuHause> it may be redirecting the output of my intermediate compile steps to the wrong file
14:20:12 <Eddi|zuHause> because i pass NML_FLAGS there as well
14:20:35 <Ammler> maybe easier to use your own spec then?
14:20:47 <Ammler> not sure, if we should change the default nml spec
14:22:08 <Eddi|zuHause> i think i'll remove NML_FLAGS from that step in the makefile instead
14:22:14 <Ammler> just copy theat nml.spec to cets/.devzone/build/
14:22:26 <Ammler> and customize to your needs
14:23:52 <Eddi|zuHause> but i still need a fast/interactive way to test if that change will solve anything
14:24:23 <Eddi|zuHause> Ammler: will -j<X> do anything on the compile farm?
14:25:42 <Ammler> theoretically it should force to -j1, not sure if you can overrule
14:26:14 <Ammler> part of %{?_smp_mflags} afaik too
14:30:23 *** ntoskrnl has joined #openttd
14:41:51 <Ammler> Eddi|zuHause: but if you keep -c, it will still overrule your flag
14:44:18 <Eddi|zuHause> that shouldn't do any harm for now
14:45:05 <Eddi|zuHause> but it didn't solve anything either :/
14:55:32 <Ammler> the nml on devzone is fine?
14:55:48 <Ammler> you use the same locally?
14:59:57 <Eddi|zuHause> not entirely sure
15:03:01 <Eddi|zuHause> but if the nmlc steps would fail, then there should be errors about that, right?
15:05:22 *** Ristovski has joined #openttd
15:07:27 *** supermop has joined #openttd
15:10:35 <Ammler> well, you said, the nfo looks bad
15:11:42 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but it's the combination script inbetween that gets confused because of non-existing files
15:11:47 <Eddi|zuHause> but i think i found the problem
15:12:18 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
15:12:51 <Ammler> also since you use a custom spec, you might also configure the publisher (file files)
15:13:07 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, next step :)
15:13:32 <Eddi|zuHause> first, correctness, then completeness :)
15:20:14 <Eddi|zuHause> hah! finally a large grf :)
15:27:41 <Eddi|zuHause> now, i count 3 bugs: the tenders are broken, the 32bpp-template-graphics are broken, and the extra purchase text is broken :/
16:10:06 *** Maverick has joined #openttd
16:10:18 <Maverick> Hey guys, setting up a chilli cargo dist server for a bit
16:10:30 <Maverick> think someone can test join for me?

16:11:47 <welshdragon> When I edit a .sav to a .scn using NotePad, and try to open with OpenTTD it says it's been made with a newer version, how can I get around this?
16:12:13 <TinoDidriksen> ...using notepad? Aren't save files binary?
16:12:26 <welshdragon> (On my Mac, I had no issues editing .sav's to .scn)
16:12:45 <TinoDidriksen> Probably using a better editor there.
16:12:53 <welshdragon> No, you can edit the extension, and they will open
16:13:11 <TinoDidriksen> Sure, but extension has nothing to do with notepad.
16:14:22 <welshdragon> true. what I meant is that you open a .sav in notepad, and save as .scn (and VV) On a Mac with TextEdit, the conversion works
16:14:35 <TinoDidriksen> Why open it at all? Just copy and rename.
16:14:45 <TinoDidriksen> Notepad will screw up all the bytes.
16:15:31 <welshdragon> so I guess I'll have top get Notepad++
16:15:43 <TinoDidriksen> ...or just don't open the file!
16:16:18 <welshdragon> as your suggestion TinoDidriksen didn't work, the file is still seen by Windows and OpenTTD as .sav ...
16:16:38 <TinoDidriksen> Enable showing extensions, change the extension.
16:18:05 <welshdragon> *pumps fist* That works, thanks TinoDidriksen

17:10:52 *** SigHunter has joined #openttd
17:10:54 <Eddi|zuHause> especially why only the "template" graphics are broken, the vehicles with real graphics are fine
17:11:28 <SigHunter> is there a way to have "cloned" vehicles automatically set "shared orders" with the one it was cloned from?
17:13:12 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, hold CTRL while cloning
17:16:10 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
17:20:59 *** SigHunter has left #openttd
17:33:41 <Eddi|zuHause> ugh! i think i have a suspicion why the purchase text is not working: nml is "optimizing out" unused strings, so the references are all wrong :/

17:55:44 <NGC3982> By the way, Sim City has taken my soul and does not seem to be keen on returning it.
17:56:01 <NGC3982> Yet, i'm still failing miserably at it.
18:04:12 *** chester_ has joined #openttd
18:14:50 <Eddi|zuHause> is there a less crazy workaround other than making a "switch(dummy_strings, STORE_TEMP(string(STR_1) | string(STR_2 | ...)"?

21:46:49 <Eddi|zuHause> so much for that idea :/
21:50:34 <peter1138> you can't write valid nfo that won't compile :p

22:12:05 <peter1138> have they made steam for linux yet?
22:12:13 <peter1138> or is it still steam for ubuntu (but we call it linux anyway)
22:14:10 <peter1138> ah, still the latter
22:14:22 <frosch123> in ottd you can have steam since 1830 with the right train set
22:17:50 <TinoDidriksen> It's apparently easy enough to use the Ubuntu package on other distros.
22:18:41 <peter1138> manually unpacking a .deb? great stuff. just give me a tarball instead o_O
22:21:35 *** Devroush14 has joined #openttd
22:22:20 <peter1138> heh, "nice" it automatically installs their pgp key as trusted o_O
22:23:20 <blathijs> peter1138: Why would they do that? Users will have installed their pgp key in advance to verify the .deb integrity right and not install random downloaded packages just like that? Oh wait..
22:24:00 <peter1138> also it's all 32bit
22:28:30 <LordAro> ha, you sound like linux torvalds complaining about c++ :P
22:29:14 <LordAro> it's automatic key presses :L
22:33:01 <peter1138> when linus complains about something he has good reasons

23:29:50 <Eddi|zuHause> now i'm getting too insane :/
23:30:10 <Eddi|zuHause> i wanted a #define that whenever i redefined it, would add some character to it
23:30:18 <Eddi|zuHause> like, unary counting
23:31:24 <V453000> there is no "too insane"
23:33:48 *** oskari892 has joined #openttd
23:53:59 <Eddi|zuHause> however, i found a way that works without counting
