13:33:48 <Taede> nothing much, just drinking my morning cuppa
13:38:52 <Aristide> Hi Xaroth|Work and Alberth o/
14:45:18 <Flygon> Either I found a bug in one of the (now a few days old) nightlys, OpenGFX+, or my video card hates one of these tiles.
14:53:11 <planetmaker> what tiles are that which glitch?
14:53:40 <Flygon> I've never seen it until now
14:53:48 <Flygon> But I can seem to replicate it on that direction of slopes
14:53:54 <Flygon> But I must really really note this now
14:54:04 <Flygon> The game is based on a scenario that I added the NewGRFs to
14:54:22 <Flygon> The visual issue happens on other tiles of the same inclination
14:54:34 <Flygon> It's like I'm playing DooM with noclip :D
14:54:56 <planetmaker> can you give me the savegame, please?
14:55:50 <Flygon> It's a giant one, and I'm on good ol' *cough* reliable Australian Internet
14:57:48 <Flygon> 3 minutes left. Whee, 23kbyte/s uploads.
14:59:47 <planetmaker> it's actually easy to reproduce
14:59:50 <Flygon> You replicated it your end?
15:00:15 <Flygon> Ah. Alright. I was worried it would have been caused by my messing around with NewGRFs applied post-whatevererallery
15:00:42 <Flygon> If I asked a Finn, there'd probably be a word for it
15:09:52 <planetmaker> the steep slopes for coastal sprites of the company land are broken
15:12:09 *** newbie|2 has joined #openttd
15:18:47 <Aristide> I like new subway sttion <3
15:18:55 <Aristide> Flygon: Well and you ?
15:18:55 <Flygon> Another one that says Arf!!
15:19:03 <Flygon> I've met my long lost brother!!
15:19:42 <Flygon> This isn't the channel to go all excited and pounce and hug in x3
15:20:22 <Flygon> Makes the City Loop look like a sewer :p
15:22:54 <Rubidium> Flygon: talking about reliable internet, how reliable is it in Australian trains/long distance busses?
15:23:17 <Flygon> Victoria's probably the best bet
15:23:24 <Flygon> The rest are a bit of a crapshoot
15:24:44 <Flygon> Vic, NSW, and WA have HST 'capable' trains. But the XPT is a slightly redesigned Class 43 with a lower gearing (max they got in trials is 193km/h). WA and Vic basically share very similiar Diesel railcars that could easily go 200km/h if the (quite thick in the head) beaurocracy said "Sure, why not"
15:25:03 <Aristide> I don't know bus specification of TCL Network :(
15:25:30 <Flygon> Not that the VLocity cars haven't been trialled at over 200km/h (but, this's off-hand. The official speed record holders are still the XPT and the QR Tilt Train). Reportedly, the front panellings fell off around 210-220km/h due to the vibrations.
15:25:31 <Aristide> But TCL like Citelis 12 and 18
15:25:44 <Flygon> I could make jokes about that, but this channel is neither here nor there
15:25:51 <Flygon> But in terms of actual reliability on the timetable?
15:26:36 <Flygon> (the QR Tilt Train is one of the worlds fastest regular Narrow Gauge services. But you'll find a lot of Queensland railfans pretending it never existed)
15:27:39 <Rubidium> I guess they beat in realiability compared to the latest Dutch HST acquisition
15:27:40 <Flygon> New South Wales has a very long distance train and bus network. But the services are basically token only. Running as infrequently as once a week (eg. Broken Hill train)
15:28:55 <Flygon> Anyway, the XPT, TransWA Prospector / V/Line VLocity, and QR Tilt Train services tend to hover around 160-170km/h, with the VLocity derivatives hitting 160km/h easiest (they're ludicrously fast accelerating for a Diesel train. They outaccelerate Sydney's suburban trains!!!)
15:30:26 <Rubidium> but what about the internet on the trains?
15:30:39 <Flygon> Do you count whipping out the 3/4G stick as Internet?
15:31:13 <Rubidium> ah... so IC Berlin quality ;)
15:31:20 <Flygon> The various Governments are simply too stingy to ever consider such an 'impossible' proposition
15:31:25 <Flygon> How often does the IC Berlin run?
15:31:47 <Rubidium> every two hours (for 6 or 7 times a day)
15:32:06 <Flygon> (not that getting free internet on a VLocity isn't very difficult. Up to 3 3/4G hotspots can be found per railcar from Androids. Most use WEP and Telstra. :P)
15:32:14 <Flygon> That's not very good now
15:32:32 <Flygon> Hell, the Bendigo, Ballarat, Traralgon, and Geelong VLocity services run hourly even
15:32:50 <planetmaker> Flygon, every two hours on that connection is not that bad really :)
15:32:52 <Rubidium> well, IC Berlin is the intercity going from Amsterdam to Berlin
15:32:52 <Flygon> And they run on a budget that makes North American soap operas seem like Hollywood blockbusters!
15:33:08 <Flygon> planetmaker: Yes, but the issue is. You can't just walk up and ride
15:33:19 <Flygon> If you juuuust miss that train, you're stuck with 2 hours of nothing to do
15:33:21 <planetmaker> IC Berlin? Yes, you can
15:33:41 <Flygon> At least if it's an hour to the next train, you can walk to a Sushi bar, nom a bit, read a magazine, then board :p
15:33:44 <planetmaker> well. The alternative is like 8 to 9 hours car drive
15:33:53 <Flygon> But, then again, I suspect it's a cultural thing
15:33:58 <Flygon> Australians are absurdly impatient
15:34:28 <Flygon> Part of the reason our Freeways are so congested. A lot of people are so Bus and Trainaphobic that they'll simply drive, even if it'll often take longer, just to get a 'guranteed' service
15:34:31 <planetmaker> and I doubt the rail tracks would allow for (much) more traffic ;)
15:34:34 <Flygon> Same mentality as North Americans, really
15:34:41 <Flygon> You guys don't have double track?
15:34:53 <planetmaker> yes. Only. That's the reason
15:35:01 <Flygon> Ahh, Ballarat line situation then
15:35:23 <planetmaker> I know no major connection which is not double or even tripple tracked
15:35:25 <Flygon> The reason the Ballarat line achieves an hourly service off-peak is due to V/Line abusing the hell out of good crossing loop timetabling, combined with big crossing loops
15:35:49 <Rubidium> Flygon: we're talking about one 'connection' here. If you do not cross national borders, you won't find a train going less than once every 30 minutes
15:35:53 <Flygon> To the point where you'll have one train passing at 130km/h, and another at 160km/h (long story)
15:35:56 <planetmaker> Flygon, berlin - amsterdam is like melborne - sydney. Do you have hourly service? :)
15:36:10 <Flygon> I thought you meant only 300km away!!
15:36:18 <Flygon> Okay, I fully understand now :)
15:36:26 <Rubidium> Flygon: 300 km from Amsterdam and you're definitely abroad
15:36:28 <Flygon> Sorry, being in the smallest state can skew impressions x3
15:36:40 <Flygon> Okay, you're messing with my heads here
15:36:50 <planetmaker> Berlin is quite East in Germany
15:36:52 <Flygon> This's what I get for living in the smallest mainland state, and still ending up bigger than Poland
15:37:11 <Flygon> Also, the Melb-Syd XPT runs twice a day. Morning and Night
15:37:18 <Flygon> But the XPT is terrible
15:37:27 <Flygon> Most people just take a plane. They come every half hour to hour
15:37:42 <Flygon> (there's a reason the Melb-Syd air corridore is so busy)
15:38:28 <planetmaker> Flygon, more planes likely wouldn't fit either on that route here :P
15:38:37 <Rubidium> that blue line is also roughly along one of the main lines for trains, which ... well... has only 4 ICs and 4 stop trains per direction per hour
15:38:49 <Flygon> That's a lot of trains
15:38:55 <Rubidium> all ICs are double decker and maximum platform length
15:39:25 <planetmaker> well, Berlin - Amsterdam seems to be 655km
15:39:31 <Rubidium> and they're currently spending loads and loads of money into making it a) 4 track, b) no level rail crossings, c) at least 6 ICs and 6 stop trains an hour
15:39:32 <Flygon> http://tinyurl.com/pjpgs8r Roughly along the line of the Bendigo RFR track here (Bendigo is one of the shorter RFR/HST lines. If you call a lot of sub-150km/h curves HST)
15:39:42 <Flygon> Oh my god. Level crossings.
15:39:50 <Flygon> Don't get me started on level crossings.
15:40:04 <Eddi|zuHause> <Rubidium> I guess they beat in realiability compared to the latest Dutch HST acquisition <-- you mean those where the bottom drops out?
15:40:06 <Rubidium> Flygon: I mean level crossings on the rail itself (not road crossings)
15:40:10 <Flygon> It's thanks to level crossings that V/Line's got some major management headaches with level crossings
15:40:10 <planetmaker> so... still a bit less than Australia distances :D
15:40:26 <planetmaker> Flygon, how do they pose that? Automate them and done?
15:40:29 <Flygon> All due to a crapload of idiots that don't understand that a train going 160km/h will PULVERIZE them
15:41:04 <planetmaker> (I know virtually no level crossing which doesn't close automatically)
15:41:11 <Flygon> A VLocity hit a stone truck on a non-'protected' (only had flashing lights) level crossing going 130km/h
15:41:22 <Flygon> It's the only fatal accident involving a VLocity HST in Victoria
15:41:38 <planetmaker> that's failure to build proper level crossings
15:41:44 <Flygon> Now they're limited to 75km/h for entire railway lines
15:42:04 <Flygon> The RFR lines themselves (the ones they've tested over 200km/h on) have automatically protected crossings, though
15:42:04 <planetmaker> I think here level crossings are for up to at least 160km/h
15:42:26 <Flygon> Most level crossing accidents here seem to involve people running INTO the trains
15:42:46 <Flygon> I could use many profanities for that sort of level of stupidity
15:42:51 <Flygon> It's just... effing ridiculous
15:42:55 <planetmaker> Rubidium, are you planning a trip again? :)
15:43:28 <Rubidium> well, I intend to go that way somewhen
15:43:28 <Pinkbeast> There was that vexing RAIB report recently where they failed to ascribe any causal factor to an idiot cager driving through level crossing barriers with the sun in their eyes.
15:43:52 <Eddi|zuHause> <planetmaker> I know no major connection which is not double or even tripple tracked <-- loads of connections have been reduced to single track for "economical efficence"
15:43:58 <Flygon> If people just understood that level crossings must be observed, none of this would be a problem
15:44:04 <planetmaker> make sure you take one of those trains accross the continent, Rubidium :)
15:44:07 <Flygon> Eddi: That was a problem here with the Bendigo line RFR upgrade
15:44:25 <Flygon> They singled parts of the track between Kyneton and Bendigo for the sake of 'efficiency'
15:44:37 <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, not the major connections
15:44:44 <planetmaker> all secondary: sure
15:44:44 <Flygon> The only discernable reason being that the loading gauge was a tad tight in the 1860 era tunnels
15:44:55 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: depends on what you call "major"
15:46:06 <planetmaker> berlin, munich, frankfurt, cologne, hamburg, hanovre, stuttgart, bremen. Those kind of destinations and lines in between
15:46:53 <planetmaker> and onward to prague, paris, brussels, amsterdam, basel, kopenhagen, vienna, etc
15:46:58 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: for example Berlin-Cottbus-Görlitz(-Breslau) once was a "major" railway line. or {Kassel|Frankfurt}-Erfurt-Jena-Chemnitz-Dresden
15:47:21 <Flygon> Also, a weird fact. The TGV isn't actually crash compliant in Victoria. It wouldn't be allowed to run over 115km/h without major modifications O_o
15:47:27 <planetmaker> emphasis on "was" ;)
15:47:50 <Eddi|zuHause> the latter they have problems getting back to double track now
15:47:51 <planetmaker> Yes, I know the latter. It's rather a PITA to go that line
15:48:10 <planetmaker> why that, Flygon ?
15:48:36 <Flygon> Same reason it can't run in the USA over a certain speed
15:48:41 <Flygon> Just doesn't meet certain qualifications
15:49:06 <Flygon> I don't know if the ICE or Shinkansen would have the same problems. Though, in all 'true' HST proposals here, the TGV's been used as a case point
15:49:08 <__ln__> in france they're also limited to about 550 km/h
15:49:12 <Flygon> Right down to suggested hardware
15:49:45 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: also {Hamburg|Bremen}-Uelzen-Stendal(-Berlin) (so-called "america line")
15:49:53 <Flygon> As nice as it would be to use modified electric VLocity units as HST's. I'm not sure Electric-Hydralic transmission could break 225km/h
15:50:26 <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: you find lots of places where the infrastructure is lacking, if you look for them
15:50:37 <Flygon> Eddi: Understatement of the year
15:50:47 <Flygon> Melbourne's Metro network stillhas large areas of single track
15:51:01 <planetmaker> of course one does.
15:51:10 <Aristide> My favorite Subway is C Line <3
15:51:24 <planetmaker> And it's argued again that the railway lines from the harbours are not up to the traffic expected in the forthcoming years
15:52:10 <Eddi|zuHause> not to speak of the line Berlin-Dresden, which has to make a huge detour because the direct line (which was cut in 1952) has been rebuilt as metro line, incompatible with IC(E) service
15:52:55 <Eddi|zuHause> i think the current "working solution" is to build a tunnel underneath which will take the long-distance line on that section
15:52:58 <Rubidium> Flygon: why isn't it crash compliant? Level road crossings?
15:53:41 <Flygon> Even if the line was completely segregated, they'd probably want it to be as unkillable as the flying bricks here in an accident, simply just in case it goes on an RFR line or something
15:53:55 <Rubidium> any high speed track (>140km/h) in the NLs cannot have road crossings
15:54:10 <Rubidium> if it has road crossings, then it's <= 140km/h
15:54:14 <Eddi|zuHause> in germany, 160 is the limit
15:54:23 <Flygon> 160km/h is suppose to be the limit here...
15:54:26 <Aristide> What is ICE service Eddi|zuHause ?
15:54:35 <Rubidium> even then... if it's > 140 km/h, it's ERTMS
15:54:39 <planetmaker> french call it tgv ;)
15:54:43 <Flygon> But drivers are allowed 10% ospeed. And more than a few sets have been recorded hitting 180km/h in revenue service
15:54:57 <Eddi|zuHause> Aristide: Inter City Express, the highest train service in germany
15:55:00 <planetmaker> different manufacturer, different country
15:55:01 <Flygon> I suspect they may've had the speed limiters accidentally disabled
15:55:25 <Aristide> ICE == TER (Transport Express Regional)
15:55:50 <planetmaker> tgv serves in France what ICE serves in Germany
15:56:19 <Aristide> I don't like « TGV » ... Too expensive
15:57:14 <Rubidium> Aristide: it is, if you cost EUR 0 an hour
15:57:43 <Aristide> The ticket price for train is ... Not very fix
15:57:52 <Aristide> Many things change ticket price
15:58:24 <Aristide> If you buy your ticket 3 months before departure, the ticket is cheap, but if you buy your ticket 3 days before departure, the price is not same
15:58:28 <planetmaker> the price is acceptable. Gets you places reasonably fast and comfortable
15:58:33 <Aristide> I don't like this system
15:58:45 <Aristide> Price is not acceptable
15:58:52 <planetmaker> unlike planes where the speed might be faster, but you have to commute ages to get downtown or so
15:58:54 <Flygon> Can I get on a HST that'll take be 160km for just $7AUD? :D
15:59:12 <Aristide> Wait I calculate for Paris → Lyon
15:59:25 <Flygon> (granted, most people pay $10-14AUD, but much bloody cheaper than European and Japanese pricing!!)
15:59:31 <Eddi|zuHause> we have basically 4 train classes in germany: ICE: high-speed long distance trains, usually EMU, 200-300km/h. IC/EC: medium speed long distance trains (140-200 km/h), RE: medium-speed short distance service, few stops (<=160km/h), RB: low-speed short ditance service, lots of stops (<=160km/h)
15:59:52 <planetmaker> 330km/h for ICE sprinter services ;)
15:59:56 <Flygon> You guys have seperate classes?
16:00:00 <Flygon> Here, it's all cattle! :D
16:00:04 <Aristide> Ok, departure for go to Paris, tomorrow, at 17h
16:00:38 <planetmaker> Aristide, what's a cheaper way? :)
16:00:41 <Pinkbeast> Flygon: is this speed of service vs. classes of seating inside the train?
16:00:53 <Rubidium> Aristide: what's the cost of the ticket in second class for the TGV and the slow train if you want to go "now", and how long do they respectively take?
16:00:56 <Aristide> Same travel, 2 months later
16:01:14 <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: each train has 2 different classes in it, as well
16:01:14 <Flygon> Pinkbeast: Seperate classes only exist for seating here. And that's for select long distance N-sets. Or: Locomotive hauled.
16:01:24 <Flygon> Speed classes are non-existant
16:01:44 <Aristide> I have selected 2nd class for search
16:01:55 <Aristide> But SNCF website search for TGV and TER
16:02:01 <Flygon> (I wish they'd replace the N-class locos on the N-sets with AN-class locos. 145km/h speed limit instead of 115km/h...)
16:02:11 <Pinkbeast> IIRC Japan does a lot of that, where you've got shinkansen and ordinary trains doing the same journey and you buy a ticket for a given speed
16:02:16 <Flygon> (most RFR line curves tend to be 130-150km/h anyway)
16:02:21 <planetmaker> Flygon, yes, classes as in comfort. But there's also different kind of train services. Which Eddi|zuHause called classes
16:02:38 <Flygon> I just wasn't aware it was an outside-of-Japan thing

16:03:11 <Eddi|zuHause> there is IIRC a fixed price you pay independent of distance, if you want to go ICE instead of IC
16:03:14 <Rubidium> hmm... so, if I want to go from Lyon to Paris tomorrow morning. I can choose the TGV for EUR 95 and about 2 hours, or the TER for EUR 64 and 5 hours
16:03:22 <Pinkbeast> It is accidentally here (UK) where the farce of privatisation gives you per-operator tickets.
16:03:32 <Aristide> Rubidium: Its logic :')
16:03:36 <Pinkbeast> And on some routes there's >1 operator with different speeds.
16:03:55 <Flygon> Thing is, it'd be impossible to implement split pricing anyway based on the speed of train. If it happened, nobody would ride the fast train and the Government would have to write off the investment. We're all cheapasses in Australia. :|
16:03:56 <planetmaker> Aristide, it's without irony logical...
16:04:25 <Rubidium> now on the 3rd of March the times are the same, but the TGV price drops from 95 to EUR 42-57
16:04:33 <Eddi|zuHause> so if Berlin-Dresden costs 50€ for the distance, ICE will cost 60€, and if Berlin-München costs 200€, Berlin-München in ICE costs 210€ (prices are examples only, not real prices)
16:05:12 <Rubidium> I think I'll take the TGV; I think 3 hours more in Paris is worth EUR 10/hr (after all, a hotel costs more than EUR 10/hr)
16:05:34 <Rubidium> even then... for fun I did it from Amsterdam to Paris
16:05:36 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
16:06:00 <Rubidium> a whopping EUR 130 for the Thalys (TGV PB(K)A), or a mere EUR 420 for the night train
16:06:15 <Flygon> (train fares are so cheap here, people've actually ridden the V/Line for free airconditioning :P)
16:06:15 <Rubidium> (apparantly they don't want that you go by normal train)
16:06:26 <Aristide> I don't now if IDbus go to Amsterdam
16:07:05 <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: one of the problems is, the pricing is only for what the train is called, not what speed it actually takes. so if you go from Köln to Düsseldorf, you can take the RE, the IC, or the ICE, each one will take roughly the same time, but prices are different
16:07:51 <Eddi|zuHause> Köln to Düsseldorf is a rather short distance
16:07:53 <Rubidium> anyhow, since $BOSS pays for my trips to Paris, they happily pay the extra money the Thalys from Amsterdam costs compared from getting me with the cheap and slow train to Brussels and then onto the Thalys
16:08:05 <Flygon> Differentiating the price still seems silly
16:08:09 <Aristide> So, Rubidium 49€ with bus for Paris > Amsterdam
16:08:18 <Flygon> A better system would be to have the lower seating HST's simply not pick up passengers in suburban stations
16:08:19 <Aristide> 6 hours and 45 Minutes
16:08:39 <Rubidium> how close to Gare du Nord does that start?
16:08:40 <Flygon> The system applies here with V/Line on most V/Line lines, bar select stations that can take both suburban and metro passengers
16:08:58 <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: well part of the pricing system is that the RE is government funded, while the IC and ICE have to be self-sufficient
16:09:19 <Flygon> That explains a lot, then
16:09:36 <Rubidium> Aristide: so add another 45 minutes to get from Gare du Nord to there
16:09:51 <Aristide> I don't know Paris for hours and time to travel
16:10:00 <Aristide> I Know « Gare Part Dieu » in Lyon xD
16:10:28 <Flygon> Eddi, I should note, part of the reason V/Line refuse to pick up passengers in most suburban stations is because they share the same lines as the electrics (part of the reason they're designed to accelerate as fast as, or out-accelerate them, btw). And Metro will crack the sads if V/Line are at all late.
16:10:44 <Flygon> This's frustrating when you realize Metro actually manage segments of HST track.
16:10:48 <Aristide> (Subway B, and Tramway T1, T3 and T4, bus C1 C2 C3 C6 C9 C13 C25 25 37 38 70 198 296 and C7
16:10:52 <Eddi|zuHause> Flygon: where the "self-sufficient" part is disputed, because making that a rule has led to cutting off several minor cities from the long-distance network
16:11:07 <Rubidium> makes 7:30, then an 1:30 to get from Amsterdam to my home, versus just under 4:00
16:11:15 <Flygon> So it's normal for a VLocity to be held up by a Comeng struggling to break 90km/h on a track that's 160km/h certified, and handled 200km/h with ease.
16:11:39 <Eddi|zuHause> between the RE and the IC there used to be a "IR" network, which served longer distances than the RE, at cheaper prices than the IC
16:12:00 <Rubidium> now imagine my meeting ends at 16:00, I can get home by Thalys. I can't by bus, so I need a hotel... add EUR 100, and voila Thalys is cheaper
16:12:21 <Aristide> So, for subway here : 1.70 EUR (Bus, subway, tram, trolleybus, funicular) for 1h
16:12:58 <Aristide> And 2 EUR with bus for 40km (Lyon > Saint Martin en Haut)
16:13:10 <Aristide> For price, bus is better than train
16:13:17 <Aristide> But train is faster than bus
16:13:40 <Eddi|zuHause> they have invented a hybrid model now, where they pay partial routes of an IC as if it were an RE
16:14:28 <Eddi|zuHause> so they have an IC Bremen-Hannover-Magdeburg-Leipzig, and they said "if you add Oldenburg-Bremen to that, we pay that part as if it were an RE"
16:14:56 *** Pensacola has joined #openttd
16:15:01 <Eddi|zuHause> meaning on that part of the route, the people will pay RE prices, and if they go longer than that, they pay IC prices
16:15:44 <Eddi|zuHause> same model they will do on the line Kassel-Erfurt-Jena-Gera, where between Erfurt and Gera you can pay RE prices
16:15:58 <planetmaker> those prices are not exactly understandable anyway. You just use the website, enter departure and arrival stations and get connections with prices
16:15:59 <Flygon> You pay suburban for part of the trip
16:16:05 <planetmaker> could as well be random ;)
16:16:07 <Flygon> And you pay regional for part of the trip?
16:16:19 <planetmaker> Flygon, it's not exactly sub-urban ;)
16:16:41 <planetmaker> except maybe by australian distance scale. then yes
16:16:45 <Flygon> Pakenham is waaaay far out of Melbourne, but it's still inside zone 2
16:16:52 <planetmaker> (without irony actually yes)
16:17:07 <Eddi|zuHause> in theory, there is a "regional" price (<50km(, and there is a "long-distance price" (>50km)
16:17:12 <Flygon> Pakenham is 61km away from Melbourne.
16:17:21 <Eddi|zuHause> the praxis is slightly different and more complicated
16:17:23 <Flygon> And it's still serviced by subway cars :D
16:17:46 <Flygon> Fares work here by zones. For each zone you travel through, you get charged an additional fee
16:18:07 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, the "regional" prices are often covered by such zones as well
16:18:14 <Flygon> And you get 2 hours free travel within any zones after you've touched off (we use an Oyster card-like system here. Except it's near state-wide)
16:18:26 <Flygon> (it's called myki. Don't say the word in public. You'll get a dirty look)
16:18:39 <Eddi|zuHause> but each region has its own zone system
16:19:15 <Flygon> That seems inefficient
16:19:16 <Eddi|zuHause> so Erfurt has a zone system, and Jena has a zone system, but you cannot go from Erfurt to Jena because the zones are not compatible
16:19:32 <Flygon> The issue exists here too
16:19:46 <Flygon> You can use myki for any RFR/HST trips and suburban trips (and mix thereof) here
16:20:55 <Flygon> But regional coaches/trains (further out than Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, Traralgon, and Seymour (Seymour lacks a HST/RFR line, but gets the HST's for acceleration reasons. Never thought I'd say that in my life) are a good marker) can't use myki
16:21:10 <Flygon> Due to a combination of beaurocratic nonsense, and the fact some of them cross state lines
16:21:33 <Eddi|zuHause> and then it gets really complicated, because there are "special offer" prices. like in long-distance services, you can get prices of 19€ or 29€ independent of distance, if you order at least 3 days ahead and define which exact train you are taking
16:21:52 <Flygon> eg. the Melbourne-Adelaide coach, if mykiized, would present the awkward situation where the coach station in Adelaide would require both myki and Metrocard machines to be near-adjacent to each other
16:22:07 <Flygon> Granted, it wouldn't be impossible to get firmware in a machine that allows both
16:22:12 <Eddi|zuHause> or you can pay like 40€ and can go everywhere in germany, if you say you only use short-distance trains (RE, RB)
16:23:04 <Flygon> Oh! By the way #openttd

16:23:17 <Flygon> If you see ANYTHING said by the Australian Prime Minister on TV

16:23:56 <Flygon> The last part might be a half-truth
16:24:20 <Eddi|zuHause> is that different from any other prime minister in this world?

16:43:36 <Eddi|zuHause> well we have a brand new "subway" here as well :)
16:44:03 <Eddi|zuHause> well, technically, it's a short underground section of the normal railway
16:44:10 <Eddi|zuHause> with 4 underground stations

16:48:23 <DorpsGek> -Feature: SSE 4.1 sprite sorter, improving the sorting performance significantly (MJP)
16:48:24 <DorpsGek> For example with GCC 4.8, x86_64 Linux, Intel i5-3337U this patch improves the performance of Pile, Treham and Hamac test save games by about 10% in over-all run time at fast forward at 1920x1080 when zoomed out and when trees are not disabled.
16:48:28 <Aristide> Here, we have many extensions of Subway B (one new Station « Gare d'Oullins » : 1,8km of rails : 200 000 000 EUR :x) many extensions on tramways T1, T2, T4 and T5
16:49:31 <Eddi|zuHause> this underground section is 1,4km, i think
16:50:10 <Aristide> Subway is expensive to install, but you can travel lot of people
16:50:31 <Aristide> Its cool, 20 000 New users per day are estimated for new extension
16:51:19 <Aristide> So, its time to go to shower o/
16:51:50 <Eddi|zuHause> well i don't know about passenger numbers, but they currently have problems with timetable stability, because the trains often get delays on the (mixed service) outer tracks
16:52:19 <Eddi|zuHause> and the tunnel section will be disturbed for anything more than 2 minutes delay
16:52:44 <Eddi|zuHause> transferring the delay to all lines which use the tunnel
16:53:02 <Eddi|zuHause> and apparently they don't have enough buffer at the end stations to catch up either

19:03:51 <George> Rubidium: Wowan reports he got problems with xUSSR set entry on bananas. He can't see history
19:04:23 <George> planetmaker: According to our last discussion about railway types
19:05:51 <George> planetmaker: In case that definition works ... would the current type test work?
19:06:22 <George> for example, I have EMU ESV1
19:06:53 <Rubidium> George: I have no idea, an no idea what would/could be wrong; I'm not the guy behind that part of bananas
19:07:23 <George> Rubidium: And whom could I ask for help?
19:08:04 <George> planetmaker: wagon #2 operates on DC, wagon #3 operates on AC. Currently active wagon has different graphics
19:18:12 <Eddi|zuHause> George: Var 4A has "vehicle is powered on current railtype" bit
19:18:37 <Eddi|zuHause> George: that works for all railtypes, even if they are not in your translation table
19:18:58 <George> Eddi|zuHause: wrong, because the whole train is marked as ac|dc (dual)
19:19:21 <Eddi|zuHause> George: this is for each wagon, not the whole train
19:20:07 <George> the EVS1 is coded as a articulted vehicle of length 10
19:20:38 <Eddi|zuHause> then it gets tricky
19:20:59 <Eddi|zuHause> because articulated parts can (unfortunately) not have different power types
19:21:17 <George> it would be silly to buy part of a train in AC depot, move it with some diesel train to DC depot and assemble the whole train
19:21:23 <Eddi|zuHause> then you have to rely on that the railtype is in your railtype translation table
19:21:57 <Eddi|zuHause> which mean your detection will not work on unknown types (sets that will be relased in the future)
19:22:35 <Eddi|zuHause> George: the low byte of var 4A contains the index of your translation table
19:23:15 <George> Yes, I know how to make it work with our own tracks
19:25:04 <Eddi|zuHause> this may be the solution
19:26:30 <Eddi|zuHause> so with action 6/7/9/D you'd make a list of the currently defined railtypes, whether they provide AC or DC types, and then you can compare against this list (stored in parameter)

23:25:58 <frosch123> yeah, that would have been my next try
23:26:54 <planetmaker> frosch123, it's a good question :)
23:28:11 <planetmaker> I can see reason to say 'remove company signs upon bancruptcy': consider a server and a person abusing his company by putting many abusive signs
23:28:20 <frosch123> the meta question i started with? or the follow up one?
23:28:40 <LordAro> planetmaker: iirc, it got annoying when testing AIs, too
23:28:49 <frosch123> planetmaker: yup, i also wondered about multiplayer
23:28:56 <planetmaker> LordAro, what got annoying?
23:29:03 <frosch123> LordAro: zuu added hide opponent signs
23:29:11 <planetmaker> keeping or deleting them?
23:29:21 <frosch123> but that does not trigger for bankrupt ones
23:29:41 <LordAro> epsecially when multiple signs were over the same tile
23:30:51 <Eddi|zuHause> i do remember that from the one game i played with AIs
23:31:03 <Eddi|zuHause> well technically there were two
23:31:14 <Eddi|zuHause> one was an old one i loaded from TTO

23:36:48 <frosch123> the behaviour of "" vs <> is undefined and compiler specific
23:37:04 <frosch123> some compilers apply different search paths

23:40:49 <frosch123> fast to ship, andy would buy it :)
23:40:50 <LordAro> on this windows system (VS 2013), it errors on missing <> include
23:41:27 <frosch123> i know the warning vs error thingie from gcc 4.1
23:41:39 <LordAro> and it's generally recommended (afaik) to use <> for files not in the immediate filepath
23:41:42 <frosch123> no idea how it is now :p
23:42:24 <frosch123> i would reword that to: use <> for external stuff, and "" for your own headers
23:43:25 <frosch123> so ottd would use "" for stuff in /core and /script and such as well
23:43:34 <frosch123> immediate filepath is a weird term
23:43:38 <LordAro> that is indeed what i meant
23:43:52 <LordAro> English people cannot use English properly, go figure :p
23:44:19 <frosch123> i know, but that holds for all native speakers wrt. their native language
23:45:00 <frosch123> that's why all non-english forums / social networks are dieing
23:45:47 <frosch123> in countries where at least some people know english
23:45:57 <frosch123> __ln__: isn't that colouring?
23:46:03 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe they should try dyeing
23:46:21 <__ln__> frosch123: it's probably that too
23:46:35 <planetmaker> which colour, Eddi|zuHause ? ;D
23:46:50 <Eddi|zuHause> blond seems popular
23:48:08 <__ln__> frosch123: similarly to how "lying on the floor" can mean either that somebody lies or somebody lies.
23:48:09 <Eddi|zuHause> and i'm not sure my recolouring code is actually working
23:48:24 <frosch123> planetmaker: dying is dyeing in blood
23:49:32 <planetmaker> that doesn't give a blonde colour, though
23:49:47 <frosch123> depends on the species
23:50:51 <frosch123> __ln__: Eddi|zuHause: which alien form does have blond blood?
23:51:14 <Eddi|zuHause> never encountered any
23:51:35 <Eddi|zuHause> most times it's blue, green, white or black

23:52:21 <DorpsGek> -Add: specialised animated SSE4 blitter (MJP)
23:52:22 <DorpsGek> With 32bpp base set about 15-20% faster in the Draw function (slower with 8bpp base set). Overall, with 32bpp base set, about 5% faster.
