07:55:49 <planetmaker> V453000, it's only supposed to work, if the proper action14 is supplied. But then I assume you tested with a NewGRF which supplies it...?
08:05:01 *** ntoskrnl has joined #openttd
08:18:58 *** goodger has joined #openttd
08:53:49 <V453000> planetmaker: I tried with NUTS, I though the address isnt "right" but I have tried both nuts.openttdcoop.org and full http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/nuts/wiki ... still, in the newGRF menu (main menu -> newGRF options, or whe opening it in the game), the button is greyed out. It is available only on content download interface
08:54:09 <V453000> I did not find any other newGRF which would have it not-greyed-out in newGRF options
08:57:56 <planetmaker> sounds strange. Remind me later or open a bug report about it, please
08:58:43 <planetmaker> it's supposed to work in all those cases where the button is present. Would be pointless otherwise.
09:01:04 <V453000> yeah that is why I mention it :)
09:13:44 <planetmaker> of course. And much appreciated :-)
09:16:56 <V453000> also, nuts includes unicorns now ... where is frosch
09:17:25 <V453000> with recolourable horns :D
09:37:25 *** goodger has joined #openttd
09:52:27 <peter1139> remember that openttd will never have horses
09:55:00 <__ln__> peter1139: that's an anti-equuian statement
09:55:40 <V453000> totally coincidentally, NUTS probably already has more animals than all of the other sets combined :s
10:02:12 <peter1139> i just remember someone (darkvater) i think saying that long ago
10:57:57 <DorpsGek> Sacro: Pikka was last seen in #openttd 3 weeks, 4 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 9 seconds ago: <Pikka> I do not want to watch a half-hour video for the one little piece of information I need and which probably isn't in there anyway
10:58:23 <Sacro> peter1139: egrvts2 has horses
11:02:32 <peter1139> welcome to missing the point
11:08:10 *** roboboy has joined #openttd

12:47:10 *** DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ
13:31:00 <V453000> your argument is invalid
13:34:14 <planetmaker> V453000, at which zoom level do you draw your trains?
13:34:33 <planetmaker> I wonder whether it makes sense to actually draw them (also) for 2x with even more detail :D
13:34:45 <V453000> nah I dont think that is worth it
13:35:07 <V453000> possibly sometime when I absolutely dont know what to do :D
13:35:34 <V453000> I personally even have extra zoom disabled
13:36:13 <Eddi|zuHause> i'd like a feature where scroll wheel moves up to default zoom, and ctrl+scroll wheel will go further
13:36:21 <V453000> honestly as long as it sufficiently resebles of the wtf-creature I am attempting to make, it is sufficient :)
13:36:36 <planetmaker> V453000, I think your screenshot shows that you use 2x. Or do I err?
13:36:38 <V453000> that would be quite nice Eddi
13:36:57 <V453000> x4, but you can take the screenshot through "take fully zoomed in screenshot"
13:37:20 <V453000> isntead of ctrlS or printscreen
13:39:10 <V453000> idk, so far drawing takes enormous amount of time already, I cant imagine having that much more pixels to draw
13:39:47 <V453000> I guess you could say I prefer to draw many various animals/sprites for all cargoes and those details instead of the visual details for zoomed in :)
13:41:51 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
13:43:22 <planetmaker> of course, I understand. The needed (extra) time, would likely be just as long as for the current graphics. Or at least 50% of that
13:43:52 <V453000> I would even say a lot more
13:44:16 <planetmaker> why a lot more? You already know how it should look in principle :D
13:45:24 <V453000> well yeah, e.g. some trains I drew, I also made a sketch on paper beforehand. But when you start to compose the pixels, it changes on the fly
13:45:31 <V453000> those changes take insane amount of time
13:45:51 <V453000> in principle is a nice thing but the details which make it look nice are the issue
13:46:28 <planetmaker> of course... but you would only draw that once you have the 1x version - thus you also know that detail :-). Somewhat
13:46:36 <V453000> and in case of trains which have no realistic counterparts (photos and stuff), it is pretty hard to figure out what to put there :D
13:47:03 <planetmaker> yet, once again the time, given 10k sprites... yuk!
13:48:08 <planetmaker> sorry, can't draw smaller ;-)
13:48:09 <V453000> either way, nice weather, I go walk my animals
13:48:25 <V453000> (imaginary animals, I only have a pet snail)

16:11:25 <frosch123> apparently i missed nuts 0.5.0
16:11:33 *** oskari892 has joined #openttd
16:16:25 <frosch123> the 50th release? did you always go from 0.x.0 to 0.x.9 ? or was there some 0.y.10 ?
16:18:23 <frosch123> uniporns are quite fat
16:19:41 <frosch123> they were better off when they were walking themself, instead of driving trains
16:24:13 <frosch123> why are there suddenly so many posts in the 1.3.0 topic? :o
16:25:39 <V453000> frosch123: yes, 0.5.0 == 50 for me
16:25:45 <V453000> the dots dont actually have any sense there :D
16:42:44 *** KBuris|Work has joined #openttd
16:42:44 *** KBuris|Work has left #openttd
16:42:59 <V453000> also, frosch123 dont tell me your garage unicorns are any less fat
16:43:55 <frosch123> ofc they are. the neighbours are eaten for long

17:08:03 <Ammler> Heya, how again do I edit a post on tt-forums?
17:08:18 <planetmaker> you can't edit old postings
17:08:24 <planetmaker> except the first in a thread
17:08:33 <Ammler> I got asked to remove a outdated attachement
17:09:02 <Ammler> hmm, what silly guy had that idea?
17:09:31 <Ammler> well, I write him to go to mods then.
17:11:07 <Ammler> I am quite sure, it was possible before, wasn't it?
17:11:40 <planetmaker> what attachement should you remove? and why?
17:14:44 <Ammler> well, the attachement is one part, but I would also like to link to the new version.
17:16:06 <Ammler> since I am such a bad editor, this new feature makes tt-forums unuseable for me anymore.
17:16:43 <Ammler> if I can't fis my own mistakes, I rather do not post...
17:17:24 <Ammler> like IRC with logs :-)
17:17:58 <peter1139> welcome to the aftermath of shithead behaviour from the likes of whoever it was who did the canadian stuff
17:18:35 <Ammler> still no reason to make a forum nonfixeable
17:19:16 <peter1139> it stops that shithead behaviour, good enough reason for me
17:19:33 <Ammler> well, you are mod, so you might still be able to fix your posts
17:19:54 <Ammler> but the Forum is unuseable for the rest.
17:20:21 <peter1139> unusable is rather extreme
17:20:42 <peter1139> i'm pretty sure a lot of people are using it just fine
17:20:50 <Ammler> that is why you quote posts
17:20:50 <peter1139> anyway, it's not an openttd decision
17:21:37 <Ammler> yeah, sorry, I do not join the other channel, I hope you guys will tell them to reconsider it.
17:21:55 <peter1139> it's been in place for ages anyway
17:22:04 <peter1139> it was discussed back then
17:22:45 <Ammler> maybe it was a good temporarly thing, good be reverted then
17:23:08 <Ammler> planetmaker: I told him to go to mods already.
17:23:44 <Ammler> you call that ages ago?
17:24:07 <Ammler> that is not that long :-)
17:25:02 <Ammler> I would rather have simply locked those users.
17:25:12 <peter1139> that's not the point
17:25:26 <peter1139> that doesn't stop it happening again
17:26:07 <Ammler> the point is because of some single persons behavior, they made a common forum feature unavailable for us.
17:26:17 <peter1139> more than one person has done it
17:26:39 <peter1139> if you want an editable system, use a website or a wiki page
17:27:17 <Ammler> omg, I hope that was not the excuse back then :-)
17:27:32 <peter1139> no that's my personal opinion
17:30:08 <Ammler> and since you can still edit the OP, it is useless, isn't?
17:31:27 <peter1139> go read the affected threads
17:36:06 <planetmaker> I will add the latter note. But not remove the attachments
17:36:30 <Ammler> I added those grfs back then because his websiete was down
17:36:33 <planetmaker> though... you link to the download
17:36:51 <Ammler> no, I link to ttdpatch.net
17:36:59 <planetmaker> Ammler, point is, that the old ones might be needed for games. And people would not find them
17:37:42 <Ammler> then those poeple can share those grfs themself, I am not the author of those
17:38:17 <planetmaker> actually... no. I don't have a new download link. Do you?
17:38:25 <juzza1> what happened when it was enforced? Someone ragedeleted his uploads?
17:38:28 <planetmaker> ttdpatch.de is a *pretty* useless site
17:38:32 <Ammler> just pasted the link after
17:38:42 <planetmaker> juzza1, not only uploads. But all postings
17:38:56 <Ammler> planetmaker: there is a download.html
17:39:01 <planetmaker> ah, didn't see it. thx
17:39:44 <Ammler> I can understand to not let delete attachments
17:39:57 <Ammler> but not editing is so silly
17:41:50 <planetmaker> that's the same thing.
17:41:56 <planetmaker> deleting text destroys discussions
17:43:45 <Ammler> oh, actually it seems you are still able to delete attachments
17:44:33 <frosch123> juzza1: the most offensive thing you can do on a forum: going through hundreds of pages of discussion and removing all your posts, telling everyone who you ever talked to on the forums that you disrepect them and never wanted to talk to them
17:44:36 <planetmaker> maybe as I edited it with mods rights?
17:45:03 <Ammler> the attachemtns can be deleted iva control panel
17:45:21 <frosch123> yes, attachments can still be deleted
17:45:25 <frosch123> the rule was only applied to posts
17:45:40 <Ammler> so well done, most useless change :-)
17:46:04 <frosch123> because posts were considered common ownership of all discussion participants, while attachments were considered the owned by the poster
17:46:37 <frosch123> Ammler: how often do you need to edit a post older than two weeks?
17:46:50 <frosch123> (except first post)
17:46:54 <DorpsGek> Commit by translators :: r25188 /trunk/src/lang (3 files in 2 dirs) (2013-04-15 17:46:44 UTC)
17:46:55 <DorpsGek> -Update from WebTranslator v3.0:
17:46:55 <Ammler> frosch123: you useally just need to change attachments
17:46:55 <planetmaker> which still is editable
17:46:56 <DorpsGek> danish - 18 changes by Gankenstein
17:46:57 <DorpsGek> gaelic - 169 changes by GunChleoc
17:46:58 <DorpsGek> vietnamese - 2 changes by nglekhoi
17:47:07 <planetmaker> Ammler, nope. You don't change them
17:47:14 <planetmaker> You add a new posting with the new version
17:47:21 <Ammler> planetmaker: s/change/update/
17:47:23 <planetmaker> And link in the first posting to the new posting with the new version
17:47:32 <planetmaker> updating the attachments is quite bad
17:47:37 <planetmaker> it destroys history similarily
17:47:45 *** goodger has joined #openttd
17:47:47 <Ammler> planetmaker: well in past you changed the link to the new version
17:48:07 <Ammler> you adedd kind of changelog for minigrfs etc.
17:48:12 <planetmaker> as I do today. I can. and you can edit the first posting
17:48:45 <planetmaker> so really. Nothing changed
17:48:46 *** |Jeroen| has joined #openttd
17:48:55 <planetmaker> Except that unreasonable behaviour is limited :-)
17:49:35 <Ammler> hmm, maybe that is why I didn't recognize it yet
17:49:41 <Ammler> you are still able to edit new posts
17:50:04 <planetmaker> one week or so is the age limit
17:50:35 <Ammler> so then sorry for the noise
17:57:11 <Ammler> oh and just for your info, those grfs are in the grfpack anyway, I posted those there for the non-pack users back then

19:46:33 <frosch123> never had any problem with the mouse
19:47:12 <juzza1> maybe it's just bothering me because i've been oc'ing about mouse movement and lag in general in the past few weeks
19:47:26 <juzza1> just feels more sluggish and choppy when compared to windows
19:48:00 <frosch123> if you tried the sdl variables, the windows frontend of ottd does not use sdl
19:48:41 <juzza1> ok, guess i'll just better not think about it

20:27:24 <Ristovski> also, what version of gcc do you need to compile OpenTTD?
20:27:39 <Ristovski> iirc, you would get crashes if you used some outdated one

21:06:54 <Eddi|zuHause> that would make for awesome "famous last words" :p
21:07:36 <Eddi|zuHause> it probably won't beat the trebuchet, though :)
21:09:45 <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: anyone was last seen in #openttd 2 years, 14 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, 42 minutes, and 14 seconds ago: <anyone> hi

21:11:59 <Eddi|zuHause> hm, that doesn't "work" anymore
21:13:06 <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: I have not seen you.
21:13:19 <Eddi|zuHause> aw... that is probably too old :=)
21:13:30 <Eddi|zuHause> [Sa Mai 30 2009] [19:21:19] <DorpsGek> Eddi|zuHause: you was last seen in #openttd 2 weeks, 5 days, 21 hours, 24 minutes, and 42 seconds ago: * You have been kicked.

23:34:38 <V453000> del should close all windows
23:35:38 <kmccoy> Thanks! Just as you mentioned that I thought to include the word "hotkeys" in my search and found the list. Sorry for wasting your time, and thanks to all who work on the game.
continue to next day ⏵
