11:15:04 <Ristovski> planetmaker: Hello, any idea why doing "make install" in opengfx dir doesnt install it?
11:24:28 <MNIM> Eddi|zuHause: what's interesting about it?
11:25:13 <Eddi|zuHause> MNIM: it looks exactly like a police car, but says "brewery" on it
11:25:53 *** Pensacola has joined #openttd
11:26:04 <MNIM> ah. I thought german police cars were green-white?
11:26:31 <Eddi|zuHause> they used to be, but some EU regulation made them switch to blue/silver
11:27:03 <MNIM> also, that's not that uncommon - the brewery I worked at had its own fire department, with blue trucls
11:27:52 <MNIM> a fire truck in police-y colours, with the brewery logo on it. :P
11:28:17 <MNIM> and dammit, EU, can you not not meddle with stuff one day?
12:14:25 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
12:46:10 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
13:00:53 <oskari89> How about level crossing types feature by the way?
13:01:16 <MNIM> Is that sentence even supposed to make sense?
13:01:22 <oskari89> So one could choose level crossing type, like a bridge type, when built?
13:01:34 <planetmaker> Ristovski, what does "not install it" look like?
13:02:09 <oskari89> Dutch stations set has several types of level crossings, those could be made functional by that
13:02:09 <planetmaker> and what is the OS environment you executed that command under?
13:02:37 <oskari89> There's several types of Finnish level crossings too, and those would be nice :)
13:02:43 <planetmaker> oskari89, use the random (pseudo-)bits to show different ones ;-)
13:02:47 <Ristovski> planetmaker: I did "hg up" to get the latest opengfx source, I compiled it, make install'ed, and openttd still says it's missing sprites, installing ot from "online content" works
13:02:56 <Ristovski> using latest svn revision
13:03:14 <oskari89> Can you use different graphics by placement year?
13:03:21 <oskari89> With older remaining?
13:03:32 <planetmaker> hm... not sure about level crossings
13:03:44 <planetmaker> check with swedishrails
13:03:47 <Ristovski> planetmaker: I even manually copied the built files from opengfx to the baseset folder, and still says sprites are missing
13:03:53 <planetmaker> they have old and new types, oskari89
13:04:28 <planetmaker> but IIRC it is like switching automatically to new... so build year might not be available there
13:04:36 *** zeknurn has joined #openttd
13:04:45 <oskari89> That would be nice :)
13:05:04 <oskari89> More variation in level crossing graphics :P
13:05:34 <planetmaker> iirc the transition there is gradual from old to new. Using the 4 pseudo-random bits to avoid an all at once conversion
13:06:27 <planetmaker> Ristovski, and that was also true after you restarted openttd, yes?
13:06:30 <oskari89> planetmaker: i have 9 types of level crossing graphics ;)
13:06:58 <planetmaker> oskari89, use them for different rail types
13:07:06 <planetmaker> e.g. one for rail, one for elrail
13:07:34 <oskari89> And the rural and non-rural gives variation also
13:09:29 <planetmaker> Ristovski, and which openttd did you use? some 1.4.0-alpha (trunk), yes?
13:09:46 <Ristovski> planetmaker: I am using the latest svn revision
13:09:52 <Ristovski> let me get the build number
13:10:07 <Ristovski> planetmaker: r25420
13:10:26 <planetmaker> ok, and you compiled which opengfx version?
13:10:43 <planetmaker> was it actually successful?
13:10:48 <Ristovski> planetmaker: It was
13:11:19 <Ristovski> planetmaker: Again, I compiled the latest source, I am using the mercurial source
13:11:56 <Ristovski> It works If I install the OpenGFX 0.4.7 version from online content
13:12:20 <planetmaker> what is 'latest'? please quote the revision. The source has two branches
13:12:33 <planetmaker> thus nml version used also matters
13:12:46 <planetmaker> whether it will compile successfully or not
13:13:22 <planetmaker> and what OS do you use? That's crucial info, too
13:13:54 <Ristovski> planetmaker: I am now running Debian Wheezy, btw, how do I see what revision the OpenGFX source is?
13:14:31 <Ristovski> planetmaker: 10db0a4895e3
13:14:40 *** snorre_ has joined #openttd
13:15:05 <Ristovski> planetmaker: And it does compile normally, I just tried it again, no errors
13:15:53 <Ristovski> planetmaker: I found the problem, it errors out if you try to do "sudo make install", when i did just make install it worked
13:17:26 <planetmaker> uh... that's not 'latest' at all the revision you built
13:17:32 <planetmaker> didn't you update by chance?
13:17:42 <Ristovski> planetmaker: I did do "hg update"
13:17:54 <Ristovski> said it's already up-to-date
13:18:00 <planetmaker> hg id reported 10db0a4895e3. That's r1008, right?
13:18:21 <planetmaker> OpenGFX 0.4.7 is r1021 in the official repo
13:18:38 <Ristovski> planetmaker: How to see what repo I cloned?
13:19:05 <planetmaker> .hg/hgrc has the info
13:19:46 <Ristovski> Thats the official one afaik
13:20:16 <Ristovski> Then why does it say it's the latest version when it's not?
13:22:39 <planetmaker> maybe automatic updating failed to to crossing branches?
13:23:11 <Ristovski> planetmaker: How can I force it to update?
13:23:17 <Ristovski> or should I just clone it again?
13:25:31 <Ristovski> planetmaker: I cloned it again
13:25:45 <Ristovski> let me compile it and see if it works
13:27:01 <planetmaker> Ristovski, still... make sure you use the correct NML for the correct branch. I don't know, but I expect at least oddities when compiling the extra grf with an NML from the wrong branch
13:27:14 <planetmaker> though it *should* complain, if it's wrong
13:32:16 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm amazed and appalled at the same time how OzTranz et al. always figure out new ways to offend the community
13:37:06 <MNIM> nevermind, nothing to see here, please keep moving

18:10:09 <George> It would be very nice to have FS#5588 provided. How hard this task is?
18:40:32 <planetmaker> George, I don't feel like I can exactly answer it. But the main difficulty is the decision whether it's sensible. Or / if / how to solve the actual problem. IMHO the issue only shows a problem, not sure your suggestion is the fix
18:59:57 *** heffer_ has joined #openttd
19:00:21 *** lobstar has joined #openttd
19:03:55 <planetmaker> George, you're not serious about FS#5600, yes?
19:03:55 <planetmaker> Introduce a new vehicle
19:04:03 *** Terkhen has joined #openttd
19:04:03 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Terkhen
19:04:13 *** valhallasw has joined #openttd
19:04:48 <George> planetmaker: I'm very serious
19:05:08 <George> The change is for existing vehicles via CB36
19:05:27 *** Rubidium has joined #openttd
19:05:30 <George> introducing now vehicles does not role at all
19:05:46 <planetmaker> yes. If the change is so drastical that you need to announce it via news message... it's a new vehicle
19:06:26 <George> The situation: there is a SS locomotive (produced in 1932-1934)
19:06:42 <George> vehicle life is 40 years
19:07:13 <George> In 1945 al the SS locomotives reduce their speed from80 to km/h
19:07:38 <George> (reduce is more than 10%)
19:08:07 <George> To inform a player about the problem the news message is required
19:10:04 <George> Of cause writing about it in a read me is not a solution - nobody reads it :)
19:11:03 <planetmaker> And why do they drive only 70 from 1945 onwards? That's not an engine but an operation limiation, I'd say
19:12:48 <planetmaker> who reads news messages, George ? I read them less than actually readmes :-)
19:13:20 <George> It's an operational limitation
19:13:33 <George> And it id coded in xUSSR set
19:13:52 <George> the questuion is to inform the player about it
19:14:00 <planetmaker> thus the vehicle doesn't change. It's wrong then
19:14:36 <planetmaker> yes. But the player does operation. And buys *vehicles*. Not hires a taxi
19:14:56 <planetmaker> players can set a speed limit of 70km/h as operational limitation
19:15:08 <planetmaker> historical is to destroy half the world between 1939 and 1945
19:15:22 <planetmaker> it's unrealistic that the game doesn't?
19:15:30 <planetmaker> It's actually a design goal the game doesn't.
19:15:50 <George> There is something like that in xUSSR - you do not get new locomotives in 1941-1945
19:16:04 <planetmaker> that's vehicles. Not operation
19:17:07 <George> Anyway the speed reduce is historical and it is already coded. My request is to allow the GRF to inform the player about the change.
19:17:29 <George> news message is the only way to do it
19:21:06 <planetmaker> generally, the idea to be able to generate news events might not be bad... Problem is. CB 36 does not cut it
19:21:13 <planetmaker> CB 36 affects vehicles. Not models
19:21:22 <George> Theoretically I can take one industry slot and provide 1x1 empty industry, which has 1 industry per map limitation, has high probability to be appear and have the only function to generate messages, but it is a dirty hack :(
19:21:34 <planetmaker> Thus every train of that type would trigger a news message. So you would... trigger 500 identical messages
19:21:41 <planetmaker> And you cannot have models generate it
19:21:48 <planetmaker> That concept doesn't exactly exist
19:22:10 <frosch123> planetmaker: it's called purchase list :)
19:22:37 <George> yes, but why not to have a GENERAL message generator, that specifies what text, what type and wen to generate?
19:22:43 <frosch123> technically it's easy. just do a monthly purchase list callback
19:22:47 <planetmaker> but that's only called... when purchase list is called. Thus... whenever the user opens it
19:23:14 <frosch123> then you can make that cb trigger a news message, or even more annoying: a blue window :p
19:23:47 <frosch123> but well, blue window does not make a lot of sense, if there is nothing to answer
19:24:06 <planetmaker> news message. which ends up in trigger at best :-)
19:24:40 <planetmaker> important to me is only "new vehicle", "accidents". That's it
19:25:38 <planetmaker> generally the ability to create a news message can make sense
19:26:33 <frosch123> you use the ticker?
19:26:46 <frosch123> i never read the ticker so disabled any of it
19:27:03 <frosch123> i wondered about changnig the ticker to scroll vertical instead
19:27:13 <frosch123> more like a scrolling news history or so
19:27:39 <frosch123> like it is actually done in most modern games :p
19:27:58 <frosch123> the slow tickering ticker is completely unreadable
19:28:13 <frosch123> it's like reading a second, do 5 seconds something else, then catch back up :p
19:28:36 <planetmaker> I never read ticker either.
19:29:30 <planetmaker> your suggestion for change might be good. But means changing size of status bar. Kinda. Or you have not won reading time really
19:30:47 <frosch123> it could also work like chat
19:31:38 <frosch123> show the complete message in normal sized font for a few seconds, then go to next one
19:31:39 <planetmaker> rather like chat maybe
19:31:48 <planetmaker> like chat is not bad
19:32:02 <frosch123> real chat on the left, news on the right
19:32:04 <frosch123> might look fancy :p
19:32:10 <frosch123> also you cannot click it
19:32:31 <frosch123> hmm, ok, you cannot exactly click the ticker either, but you get the full news then, which you can click instead
19:34:48 <planetmaker> yes... seldomly used by me, though
19:35:36 <frosch123> well, if you do not want to click it, you do not have to show it in the first place :p

20:32:20 <V453000> because when I unzip it, it gives 25396

20:36:09 <glx> V453000: it's 25385 for me
20:36:38 <frosch123> V453000: do you have some checksum utility on your site?
20:36:44 <frosch123> maybe the mirrors service different files
20:37:00 <frosch123> i.e. do you get the same file as we do :p
