01:29:07 <ardex> hi, i am trying to connect a Pilot visor (palmOS 3.1H2) to an i686 debian Sqeeeze desktop with a USB connector. Won't sync.

01:36:52 * ardex wants help connecting a PDA to a Desktop PC. Anyone?

05:12:22 <V453000> hm for some reason I had some higher hopes for the finnish train set, but it is just another realistic train set without gameplay structure
05:14:09 <V453000> the starting steamers seem to be nice though, some stronger but slower one, some faster ones
05:15:24 <V453000> well it isnt that bad
05:15:35 <V453000> a better train every 10 years is actually quite good
05:16:00 *** funnyguy3D has joined #openttd
05:17:11 <V453000> oh, 60+ unit capacity wagons

08:28:01 <apiecux> is it possible to set a special color for trains of a group?
08:30:15 <planetmaker> not directly. But possibly you can do so for different types of trains
08:46:29 <apiecux> do you think this is easy to patch?
08:46:53 <apiecux> as it is already possible to set different colors for different type of vehicles on a same company
08:51:08 <planetmaker> well. Depends on how you approach that, I guess
08:52:15 <planetmaker> The concept of train groups possibly would need a bit more improvement, but... one cannot tell till one tries :-)
08:53:10 <apiecux> ok, I'll try to code that
08:53:27 <apiecux> do you think there will be difficulties to store that information in saves?
08:53:39 <planetmaker> apiecux, it might be worth to dig a bit through forums. There migth be one or two patches which deal in different ways with train groups
08:54:24 <planetmaker> It must be stored in savegames
08:54:39 <Alberth> I think having better train groups would be useful for many things
08:56:09 <planetmaker> and I don't see any particular difficulty in storing that info in savegames.
09:01:33 <apiecux> also, I would like to set names to trains
09:01:40 <apiecux> I guess it isn't possible currently?
09:01:50 <planetmaker> you guess wrongly

09:14:54 <planetmaker> ^ went for your way to updating strings, Alberth ;-)
09:15:13 <planetmaker> the night's sleep told me that it will result in better translations

14:17:09 <DorpsGek> -Codechange: save linkgraph (fonsinchen)
14:18:08 <FLHerne> Hmm. Is CargoDist going to be in 1.4 then? :D
14:19:38 <FLHerne> glx: All the linkgraph commits rather imply some form of cargo destinations, presumably the one that the files come from? :P
14:21:44 <Rubidium> FLHerne: oh, like implicit orders?
14:22:10 <DorpsGek> Commit by rubidium :: r25259 /trunk/src (18 files in 2 dirs) (2013-05-19 14:22:04 UTC)
14:22:11 <DorpsGek> -Codechange: track capacities and usage of links
14:22:33 <FLHerne> Rubidium: Perhaps I'm just wildly optimistic, but you do seem to be putting in a lot of the stuff from the CDist patch :-)
14:23:34 <FLHerne> I remember those files being added by CDist, because I kept forgetting to svn add them after applying the patch :P
14:24:58 <Rubidium> FLHerne: yeah... started with it in 2009
14:25:29 <DorpsGek> Rubidium: Commit by rubidium :: r17739 trunk/src/cargopacket.cpp (2009-10-07 17:46:58 UTC)

14:26:20 <DorpsGek> Commit by rubidium :: r25260 /trunk/src (date_type.h station_cmd.cpp) (2013-05-19 14:26:14 UTC)
14:26:20 <FLHerne> Rubidium: I can speculate in an uninformed manner anyway, and continue to be hopeful :P
14:26:21 <DorpsGek> -Codechange: occasionally clear dead links and compress link graphs (fonsinchen)
14:30:46 <DorpsGek> Commit by rubidium :: r25261 /trunk (7 files in 3 dirs) (2013-05-19 14:30:40 UTC)
14:30:47 <DorpsGek> -Add: abstract implementation of linkgraph overlay for GUI (fonsinchen)
14:30:54 <Kibyts> Hallo sonds really german :P
14:31:11 <planetmaker> even is, yes. Still, this is an English channel
14:31:55 <Kibyts> is any cargodist developper here?
14:32:32 <Kibyts> and planetmaker please don't send me back to #openttdcoop.dev :D
14:33:11 <Kibyts> Because we want to try this mod, but get desync errors the whole time. Now I got told that I might find someone in this channel that could halp...
14:34:10 <planetmaker> better describe your problem in detail... what CD version, for instance will be very helpful to know :-)
14:34:14 <planetmaker> is it reproducable?
14:35:20 <Kibyts> yes, it is reproducable - we are trying it for 3 weeks now using different Windows versions (32 & 64 bit)
14:35:32 <Kibyts> we tested the last 3 versions
14:36:16 <Kibyts> we tryed dedicated servers as well as client hosted servers
14:36:17 <Alberth> CD author does not seem to be around currently
14:36:41 <DorpsGek> Commit by rubidium :: r25262 /trunk/src (6 files in 4 dirs) (2013-05-19 14:36:35 UTC)
14:36:42 <Kibyts> Is there any platform where I can drop a message for him?
14:36:43 <DorpsGek> -Feature: linkgraph overlay for smallmap
14:37:38 <Kibyts> DorpsGek - is this an information for me?
14:38:08 <Alberth> Kibyts: nope, DorpsGek is just spamming commit messages
14:38:38 <planetmaker> Dorpsgek our channel bot
14:38:53 <Alberth> he'll want a save game and a description how to reproduce the desync
14:39:09 <planetmaker> yes, the savegame is vital for finding desyncs
14:39:28 <Kibyts> well, it works with every game...
14:39:55 <Alberth> Kibyts: if it was really every game, he would have encountered it already
14:39:58 <planetmaker> sometimes "every game" is only "every game with exactly the same things we do"
14:40:33 <Alberth> ie perhaps you have a special way of making orders, or use a different way of creating them, etc
14:40:39 <Kibyts> as soon as we connect 3 cities (only for passangers) we get the problem
14:41:17 <Alberth> the save game is not only for demonstrating the problem, it is also for checking that a fix actually works
14:41:29 <planetmaker> in any case, an existing savegame makes the part "show me" quicker than if he needs to play-test it to that point himself
14:41:43 <planetmaker> and... alberth is faster than me
14:42:11 <Alberth> preferably a savegame with few newgrfs, and all from bananas
14:42:31 <Alberth> no newgrfs is even better :)
14:42:37 <planetmaker> yeah... non-bananas newgrfs will need providing by some way. None is best
14:42:54 <Rubidium> for what it's worth, I've seen my fair share of desyncs that were "easy" and/or "always happening". However, quite often I couldn't reproduce them because it required a particular setting to be set a particular way, a specific NewGRF configuration, or what not
14:42:55 <planetmaker> some way likely is private forum message
14:43:14 <planetmaker> that's what I'm saying, Rubidium ;-)
14:43:29 <DorpsGek> Commit by rubidium :: r25263 /trunk (11 files in 5 dirs) (2013-05-19 14:43:23 UTC)
14:43:30 <DorpsGek> -Add: legend for linkgraph overlay (fonsinchen)
14:43:43 <Alberth> ie eliminate as many sources that may cause problems, and make it as easy for fonso to reproduce your problem. That way he can quickly start working on the fix
14:44:32 * Alberth seens to be missing a few words :)
14:44:57 * planetmaker hands bag of words. Pick whatever you like ;-)
14:45:28 <Alberth> I needed a "seems" as well, it seems :)
14:49:30 <DorpsGek> Commit by rubidium :: r25264 /trunk/src (7 files in 3 dirs) (2013-05-19 14:49:25 UTC)
14:49:31 <DorpsGek> -Feature: linkgraph overlay over main viewport (fonsinchen)
14:54:58 <DorpsGek> Commit by rubidium :: r25265 trunk/src/lang/english.txt (2013-05-19 14:54:52 UTC)
14:54:59 <DorpsGek> -Fix: cargos vs cargoes inconsistency
14:58:28 <planetmaker> seems we should later tonight update our servers :-)
14:58:33 <Rubidium> I hope fonso doesn't have much problems updating, though I fear some issues
15:06:12 <planetmaker> many new strings :-)
15:06:29 <planetmaker> not exactly easy to translate in all cases
15:17:00 <planetmaker> hm, I find the colouring of the green part of the load density unfortunate, Rubidium. IMHO it should be reversed, from dark green to bright green
15:17:06 <planetmaker> would give a better transition to yellow
15:17:51 <planetmaker> and I'd like to have someone comment on it who has difficulties to distinguish red and green
15:18:01 <planetmaker> (thus maybe blue instead of red?)
15:19:30 <planetmaker> also, what does a gray line mean... gray is not in the legend
15:24:24 <planetmaker> nice. 15 .. 20% more CPU usage with link graph enabled :-)
15:44:14 <DorpsGek> Commit by glx :: r25266 trunk/config.lib (2013-05-19 15:44:09 UTC)

16:54:04 *** oskari892 has joined #openttd
16:55:53 <tuomas> Has there been game economy improvements from transport tycoon deluxy, like destinations for cargo? In TTD long routes brought the greatest profit
16:56:23 <FLHerne> tuomas: Not yet, unless you use the CargoDist patch
16:57:02 <FLHerne> The infrastructure maintenance costs and aircraft range change things a bit though
16:57:14 <planetmaker> NewGRFs can screw with cargo payment, station rating, cargo aging, maintenance costs, ... ;-)
16:57:38 <planetmaker> there are goal scripts as well
17:00:38 *** oskari89 has joined #openttd
17:00:56 *** oskari89 is now known as oskari893
17:04:57 <tuomas> Ok. I made a rail network connecting four cities, but it is pretty sad that the best profit would come from only hauling passengers between the cities that are the farthest apart, skipping stations in between.
17:05:59 <planetmaker> so best profit should be from passengers within town? ;-)
17:06:27 <planetmaker> Would cause quite an outcry of how unrealistic and insane that is :-)
17:06:52 <tuomas> planetmaker: The best profit should come from the line that stops at the intermediate towns too
17:07:30 <planetmaker> that's also unrealistic. Best profit comes from the ICE trains. Regional trains stopping at every stop are subsidised in the country I live in
17:08:01 <tuomas> Of course, not including some super-fast line that skips stops to save passenger time
17:08:15 <planetmaker> yeah. They make thus best profit. As in OpenTTD :-)
17:08:54 <tuomas> Usually they have trains that do both, ie. serve real world needs of people to go to some specific town
17:10:55 <FLHerne> tuomas: Nothing stops you building that in OTTD, money isn't everything :P
17:11:48 <tuomas> I also tried simutrans, it has destinations, but I can't even succesfully place a bus stop
