08:40:30 <Alberth> hi andy
08:40:48 <andythenorth> bonjour
08:41:10 <andythenorth> is everything awesome?
08:41:35 <andythenorth> yes!
08:41:37 <andythenorth> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTqXEQ2l-Y
08:41:38 <Alberth> yeah, I removed the functor classes
08:43:32 <andythenorth> that’s awesome
08:46:25 <Alberth> awesome!
08:46:36 <Alberth> how is the smoke?
08:48:09 <andythenorth> awesome
08:48:25 <andythenorth> kind of wondering if the game is nearly done
08:48:29 <andythenorth> I think newgrf spec is now complete
08:48:39 <andythenorth> only thing I can remember that needs doing is consists
08:48:47 <andythenorth> everything else is content
08:48:55 <andythenorth> oh and the UI could use some more love :)
08:49:54 <Alberth> all ponies fulfilled?
08:50:32 <Alberth> I think we need contracts for more goal-ish games
08:50:41 <andythenorth> hmm
08:50:52 <andythenorth> most ponies done
08:50:57 <andythenorth> some turned out to be lame
08:51:15 <andythenorth> I dunno about contracts, I haven’t tried designing a GS yet
08:53:07 <Alberth> http://wiki.openttd.org/Alberth/Contracts some random notes about it, as the CmdCreateSubsidy call was considered to be wrong, so it needs a redesign for the implementation
08:56:41 <andythenorth> actual spec :) wow
08:58:27 <Eddi|zuHause> thing i'm currently missing is purchase menu variations. like select a model, and then have buttons similar to station menu where you can select different types of this model (e.g. liveries, or articulated lengths)
08:59:18 <Eddi|zuHause> while at it, add a dropdown to select refitted cargo on construction
09:01:01 <Eddi|zuHause> this could also offer a new way to deal with "regearing"
09:01:15 <NGC3982> What is the maximum value får max_companies?
09:01:36 <Eddi|zuHause> 15
09:02:08 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: that’s livery support? Someone proposed a way to do it?
09:02:09 <Alberth> (10:59:18) Eddi|zuHause: while at it, add a dropdown to select refitted cargo on construction <-- that will be difficult due to newgrf weirdnesses, iirc
09:02:31 <andythenorth> I miss flat docks for inland waterways
09:02:47 <Alberth> newgrf specs should be extended so the game can get better information from it
09:02:48 <andythenorth> and multi-stop docks would ruin my ship-based gameplay style :)
09:02:53 <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: how is that weirder than creating the list of refittable cargos that is already in the menu?
09:03:07 <Alberth> it's too often "try and see if it fails" currently
09:03:24 <Eddi|zuHause> yes. but i don't see that as a problem
09:03:32 <Eddi|zuHause> at least not in this case
09:03:38 <Alberth> you might not, but other people will
09:04:13 <Eddi|zuHause> the newgrf specs won't ever be perfect
09:04:19 <andythenorth> I think vehicles should stop changing stats on refit
09:04:22 <andythenorth> it’s a silly pattern
09:04:29 <andythenorth> that’s my £0.02
09:04:32 <Eddi|zuHause> and if you think they are, coders will do weird things with them and break your view :p
09:05:14 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: that's where these "views" (as MB called them) could come in
09:05:28 <Eddi|zuHause> they would be set at purchase time, and cannot be changed later
09:06:00 <andythenorth> actually I have refittable-capacity on ships so I should STF up :)
09:06:41 <Eddi|zuHause> it's ok, but it'll become a "BAD FEATURE" once we have a better method
09:06:55 <andythenorth> I do think these big sets should just put all their vehicles in the vehicle list
09:07:01 <NGC3982> I guess a patch would be needed to exceed max_companies > 15
09:07:31 <Eddi|zuHause> NGC3982: that would be a serious dive into the core mechanics
09:07:41 <Alberth> yeah, and it's probably bigger than a single line
09:07:46 <andythenorth> we’re not short of vehicle IDs
09:07:50 <andythenorth> hmm
09:08:05 *** Progman has joined #openttd
09:08:13 <andythenorth> allow newgrf to specify arbitrary filtering parameters for purchase menu filters?
09:08:21 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: yes, but a) we need better vehicle list filtering then, and b) you get prototypes for each individual variation of the vehicle, which becomes messy
09:08:25 <andythenorth> like tags, vehicle is in n sets according to tags defined
09:09:03 <NGC3982> Eddi|zuHause: Ouch.
09:09:09 <andythenorth> ‘Suburban electric engines’, ‘Vossloh engines’ etc
09:09:19 <Alberth> some notion of "these are variations of the same thing" would be useful
09:09:39 <NGC3982> I guess more than 15 full fledged teams on a huge map requires more than core mechanics on my part. :/
09:09:45 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: this "views" method may ease the GUI problem, because it adds a separate layer instead of cramming everything into the same layer
09:09:48 <andythenorth> property: ‘inherits from’, ID of parent
09:10:22 <Alberth> NGC3982: you think we don't check if making such values larger is easily possible, and enlarge them if so?
09:10:25 * andythenorth is just armchair commenting, the purchase menu is a solved problem for me :)
09:10:28 * andythenorth smug
09:11:37 *** DDR has quit IRC
09:12:35 <Alberth> NGC3982: but for what it's worth, a single player can push openttd into the CPU limit already, assuming each company builds just as fast, 15 companies do that in 1/15th of the time. If you raise the limit, you reach that point even faster
09:12:49 <NGC3982> Alberth: You do not have to talk to me like i hate you for not having a higher value, thank you.
09:13:40 <Alberth> NGC3982: I don't feel that way, just explaining that such numbers are not chosen by random
09:13:46 <Eddi|zuHause> NGC3982: we went through serious trouble back when we extended 8 to 15
09:14:08 <NGC3982> I see.
09:14:11 <peter1138> If there's one thing worse than decorating, it's watching my other half make a really cack-handed attempt at oding it o_O
09:14:44 <andythenorth> will you be helping?
09:14:45 <Eddi|zuHause> what's a "cack-hand"?
09:14:50 <NGC3982> -a +o.
09:14:52 * NGC3982 giggles.
09:14:54 <andythenorth> don’t google image search that
09:15:05 <NGC3982> Jesus
09:15:06 <Eddi|zuHause> i wasn't going to :p
09:15:06 <NGC3982> Too late
09:15:12 <Alberth> lol
09:15:42 <andythenorth> oh it was a clean search anyway
09:15:44 * andythenorth had to try
09:15:54 <Eddi|zuHause> it's way too close to two german words that should never go in the same sentence :p
09:16:10 <NGC3982> On the Android version, it auto corrected it to cock in hand
09:16:17 <Eddi|zuHause> but i'm still curious on what was actually meant...
09:16:25 <NGC3982> And it actually turned up to be more of a rooster result.
09:16:27 <NGC3982> Google <3.
09:17:21 <Eddi|zuHause> wasn't there a thing about "giant cock"?
09:21:03 <peter1138> andythenorth, i asked if she wanted me to do it, she said no...
09:21:12 <andythenorth> free pass in that case
09:21:45 <Eddi|zuHause> peter1138: you know that when women say "no" there's a 50% chance they meant "yes"?
09:22:03 <peter1138> i image-searched cackhanded and... got a picture of david cameron
09:22:10 <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, it was a very forceful no
09:22:36 <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, which probably means it's even more likely a yes :p
09:22:55 <Eddi|zuHause> don't take advice from a random stranger on the internet, anyway :p
09:23:37 <peter1138> :D
09:23:53 <Eddi|zuHause> also, i once learned the "rule of three". only when an english person says "no" for the third time, they actually meant it.
09:24:52 <Eddi|zuHause> question: "do you want cake?" answer: "no, don't trouble yourself." meaning: "yes, please."
09:27:23 *** tycoondemon has quit IRC
09:27:41 <andythenorth> it’s *way* more complicated than that
09:27:57 <andythenorth> you’d have to know about context, time of day, percieved social class (on both sides)
09:28:15 <andythenorth> and that’s just for starters
09:29:14 <andythenorth> also, so the game isn’t quite done?
09:29:16 <andythenorth> but nearly?
09:30:20 <Eddi|zuHause> oh, another thing i wanted: random value in parameter.
09:30:57 <Eddi|zuHause> i think there was some controversy about when to actually randomize it.
09:31:28 <andythenorth> in a14?
09:31:31 <andythenorth> :o
09:31:45 <Eddi|zuHause> the a14 modification is the trivial part

09:43:28 <andythenorth> bbl
09:43:29 *** andythenorth has quit IRC
09:44:13 <Eddi|zuHause> i think we need a method of randomization that's agnostic to changing the number or order of active newgrfs
09:45:27 <michi_cc> Map seed is definitely the easiest thing I guess.
09:46:37 <Eddi|zuHause> michi_cc: but then we need a method of decorrelating so several newgrfs requesting random values don't change the same way
09:47:08 <michi_cc> Isn't that method called 'different authors'? :p
09:47:23 <Eddi|zuHause> no :)
09:48:12 <Eddi|zuHause> different authors will still use the same bit to turn on or off a certain feature. without decorrelation your can only have both features on or both features off
09:49:00 <Alberth> one seed, sort newgrfs on name or md5 hash, generate a number for each newgrf
09:49:33 <berndj-blackout> if a town has a sawmill right next to it, and i build a station that touches both, i get a station that accepts goods, but the sawmill also produces goods. does the town grab some of the sawmill's goods?
09:49:38 <Eddi|zuHause> we could seed the newgrf parameter generator with (map_seed XOR grfid) and then generate random values from there
09:49:55 <Alberth> berndj-blackout: no, you always have to transport cargo
09:50:15 *** Midnightmyth has joined #openttd
09:50:56 <Eddi|zuHause> that means the parameter values can be deterministically reproduced, and they will be uncorrelated between different grfs, but stay constant through reordering, removing/aading or updating the grf
09:51:47 <berndj-blackout> Alberth, hmm, so if i unload a train full of goods from a factory far away, do the factory goods get used by the town or does the train just load it back up again (transfer instruction NOT set)
09:51:53 *** Brumi has joined #openttd
09:52:50 *** tycoondemon has joined #openttd
09:53:50 <Alberth> berndj-blackout: anything you unload without transfer which is accepted by the environment will be delivered to the environment
09:54:07 <Alberth> so your far-away goods will be delivered to the town
09:54:31 <Alberth> you probably want to set "no loading" too, or the sawmill goods will be loaded
09:55:27 <Eddi|zuHause> berndj-blackout: if you use a goal script that wants to record how many goods you delivered to a town, the (original) name of the station decides which town the goods will be added to.
09:55:35 <Alberth> note that this assumes not using cargo-dist, as the rules change then
09:56:21 <Eddi|zuHause> berndj-blackout: the sawmill goods cannot be consumed by the town, because goods cannot be delivered to the same station they originated from
09:57:46 <berndj-blackout> Alberth, i'm running 1.4.1, is cargo-dist available there?
09:57:50 <Eddi|zuHause> if you don't use "no loading", you need another station to unload the goods, otherwise the train will just go back and forth fully loaded, not earning anything
09:58:16 <Alberth> berndj-blackout: it is
09:58:28 <berndj-blackout> yeah that's how i noticed the problem, i think my goods train got filled up with sawmill goods and had no more room to load goods from the factory
09:58:59 <Eddi|zuHause> berndj-blackout: use "unload all" in combination with "no loading" to resolve that
09:58:59 <berndj-blackout> ah, i must give cargo-dist a try sometime. i believe it helps make for a more sane transfer?
09:59:14 <Alberth> forcibly unload at the fasctory, set no-loading at the town
09:59:18 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, cargodist essentially makes automatic transfers
10:00:08 <Alberth> you'll have some goods that don't disappear, but otherwise it works
10:03:37 <Eddi|zuHause> no, forcibly unload at the sawmill
10:04:43 <Eddi|zuHause> forcibly unloading at the factory will just make you load the same cargo again that you just unloaded
10:06:01 <Alberth> :o good point

12:20:48 <Eddi|zuHause> that happens to me when i fail to fall asleep...
12:21:28 <frosch123> huh? you are still trying?
12:21:47 <frosch123> i think you haven't slept in at least the past 5 years
12:22:14 <Eddi|zuHause> i do. but sometimes from 10:00-18:00
12:23:37 <Eddi|zuHause> which doesn't align particularly well with other people's office times...
12:23:48 <Eddi|zuHause> and then they call you at 12:00
12:24:46 <Eddi|zuHause> or the mail lady rings at 14:00 asking whether she can leave a package for $neighbour
12:31:04 <Eddi|zuHause> wtf does this mean? "kern :warn : [Sun Aug 24 12:06:40 2014] KBD BUG in ../../../../../../../../drivers/2d/lnx/fgl/drm/kernel/gal.c at line: 304!"
12:32:08 <__ln__> i wonder if the day length on Mars would be sufficient, as there's an additional 36 minutes or so more per day dedicated for sleeping.
12:32:23 <__ln__> if we decide to slow down the rotation of earth, i'm all for it.
12:32:42 <__ln__> or embrace the 25-hour clock.
12:33:14 <Eddi|zuHause> or XKCD's 28 hour clock?
12:33:44 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: google says RAID
12:34:24 <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: but the file sounds more like a graphics thing?

12:35:44 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: too many abbreviations :p KBD means keyboard to me
12:36:01 <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: that seems very unrelated
12:36:35 <Eddi|zuHause> "fglrx" is the AMD (formerly ATI, formerly firegl) proprietary linux graphics driver
12:41:53 <NGC3982> Meow.
12:43:04 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: so clearly it wants you to enter the drm content id via the on-screen-keyboard

14:20:53 <keoz> Am I wrong or there was, on the DevZone, a project for rewriting a TTRS new version 4 in nml ? I can't manage to find it ...
14:21:07 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
14:22:50 <Eddi|zuHause> i've never heard of that
14:23:25 * Alberth hasn't seen any of that
14:24:25 <andythenorth> michi_cc: what does 5972 fix? Do you want it tested?
14:25:43 <keoz> Ok. Looks like I must have been dreaming :p
14:26:06 * andythenorth remembers that he can look on FS
14:26:07 <Alberth> in dreams, lots of things (can) happen :)
14:26:15 <andythenorth> some days, I wonder how I get through simple tasks
14:26:20 <Eddi|zuHause> keoz: there's a project to rewrite 2ccset in nml
14:26:36 <Alberth> and ecs
14:27:09 <Eddi|zuHause> and a never existing british set :p
14:27:16 <andythenorth> no british sets ever exist
14:27:51 <keoz> I'm conservative. I only play UKRS.
14:28:02 <andythenorth> projects are weird
14:28:07 * andythenorth doesn’t do projects
14:28:11 <andythenorth> just newgrfs
14:28:15 <andythenorth> that ship or get binned
14:28:27 <andythenorth> how are flat docks going to work then?
14:28:36 <andythenorth> can we just build them on the water tile?
14:29:10 <Eddi|zuHause> most likely you place them like airports, and one (or more) sides of them will be marked as docking places
14:29:11 <keoz> I knew about 2cc, I didn't about ECS.
14:29:42 <keoz> Ok. So it's time to make a big rewrite of TTRS too :)
14:29:55 <Eddi|zuHause> and by "airports" i mean "newgrf-definable state machines"
14:29:58 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: sounds good, does it depend on any vapourware, like New Stations / New Airports / New Foo
14:30:02 <andythenorth> :P
14:30:20 <Eddi|zuHause> i suppose that's a "yes" :p
14:30:34 <andythenorth> shall we have a small bet on when they might reach trunk?
14:30:40 <andythenorth> assuming that neither you nor me can fix the result?
14:30:45 <andythenorth> €10?

14:33:22 <Alberth> did someone say openttd was finished?? :)
14:33:58 <andythenorth> well
14:34:22 <andythenorth> ‘nearly’
14:34:44 <andythenorth> just a few little things to do
14:34:59 <Alberth> ok :)
14:35:00 <Eddi|zuHause> 90% done. now for the other 90%...
14:36:19 <andythenorth> diminishing returns :P
14:41:29 *** sla_ro|master has quit IRC

14:44:34 <andythenorth> so how big is a flat dock?
14:44:37 <andythenorth> 1 tile? 2x1
14:44:46 <andythenorth> a big complex like an airport?
14:46:12 <Eddi|zuHause> depends...
14:47:15 <Eddi|zuHause> usual river docks are usually a bit cut off from the actual river, to reduce water movement
14:48:22 <Eddi|zuHause> so if i were to make a dock newgrf, the docks definitely would be more like a 3x5 area
14:48:46 <Eddi|zuHause> that can be connected to a river via canals
14:49:07 <andythenorth> and ships have to go in a specific bay?
14:49:15 <andythenorth> one per stop
14:49:22 <Eddi|zuHause> yes
14:49:50 <Eddi|zuHause> ocean docks would be somewhat larger structures with moles and stuff
14:50:09 <Eddi|zuHause> sort of like MariCo
14:50:39 <andythenorth> sure it’s not overkill? o_O
14:50:48 <Eddi|zuHause> where marico is to docks like fakeairports is to airports
14:56:25 <andythenorth> ho ho
14:56:39 <andythenorth> adding smoke shows just how wrong some of FISH sprites are
14:56:50 <andythenorth> the ratio of | - \ / is so wrong :D
15:14:02 <andythenorth> so all ships, all smoking, all the time?
15:20:34 <Eddi|zuHause> or it just shows how wrong ttd's | - \ / dimensions are
15:22:36 <LordAro> complain to CS/<artist guy>
15:25:25 <andythenorth> the smoke does look fricking awesome for ships :)
15:25:39 * andythenorth is far too excited by just a few pixels on an outdated game with outmoded graphics :P
15:27:40 * andythenorth wonders which ships to use the black smoke for
15:27:42 <andythenorth> and which the white
15:29:10 <Alberth> white for pax, as it looks better for the public :p
15:29:26 <Alberth> or when it's heavily loaded use black
15:29:31 <andythenorth> intriguing idea
15:29:36 <andythenorth> I think white for most
15:29:46 <andythenorth> might save black for special occasions
15:29:54 <Alberth> white looks best probably
15:30:03 <andythenorth> black looks like breakdown
15:30:13 *** Vinnie has joined #openttd
15:30:28 <Vinnie> hello, McZapkie here toanswer question on his newgrf?
15:30:53 *** Pensacola has quit IRC
15:31:21 <andythenorth> could easily over-complicate ship smoke triggers I think :)
15:31:31 <andythenorth> speed, load, motion counter, day of week :P
15:31:56 <Eddi|zuHause> air temperature, wind speed, ...
15:32:23 <Alberth> breakdowns are black smoke?
15:32:57 <Eddi|zuHause> aircraft breakdowns emit black smoke
15:33:20 <andythenorth> it would be nice if the diesel spawn type spawned when a ship changes direction
15:33:24 <andythenorth> would look about right
15:33:29 <andythenorth> I could probably patch that :P
15:33:41 <andythenorth> diesel smoke spawn for ships is otherwise pretty useless
15:33:43 <Alberth> good idea :)
15:34:05 <andythenorth> it’s currently quite specific to trains
15:35:03 <Alberth> maybe only for manouvres at low speed you should emit diesel smoke
15:35:39 <Alberth> or big changes in direction, but that may be hard to detect
15:36:16 <andythenorth> http://paste.openttdcoop.org/raw/3671/
15:36:22 <andythenorth> current diesel spawn routine
15:36:29 <Alberth> Vinnie: not by that nick
15:36:47 <Alberth> note that irc nicks can be different from forum names
15:37:55 <andythenorth> how would I patch that ^ for ship changing direction?
15:38:38 <Alberth> :O
15:38:56 <Alberth> you think I can give you an answer to that right now? :)
15:39:03 <andythenorth> he :)
15:39:53 <andythenorth> it was more of a thinking-out-loud question ;)
15:40:21 <Alberth> :o we have a Ship class
15:41:07 <andythenorth> VEH_SHIP?
15:41:11 <frosch123> how do ships need more power when turning?
15:41:24 *** oskari89 has joined #openttd
15:41:30 <frosch123> andythenorth: you wouldn't patch that
15:41:35 <frosch123> you would add a new spawning model
15:41:38 <andythenorth> oic
15:41:43 <andythenorth> or I could do it in newgrf
15:41:54 <andythenorth> it just seems that the spawn models are mostly useless for ships :)
15:42:00 <andythenorth> steam is fine
15:42:07 <andythenorth> but quite...productive
15:42:12 <andythenorth> diesel is 90% useless
15:42:16 <andythenorth> electric is 90% useless
15:42:33 <andythenorth> but I could write my own newgrf handlers
15:42:36 <frosch123> well, you can easily make the smoke less dense via the callbacks
15:42:55 <andythenorth> yes
15:43:04 <andythenorth> modulo motion counter over 2
15:43:06 <andythenorth> or something
15:43:26 <andythenorth> and I can probably check extended vars for vehicle is turning or whatever
15:43:33 <andythenorth> I’m sure there’s lots of things to hook to
15:43:43 <frosch123> there are no vars for turning
15:43:55 <frosch123> only for articulated vehicles :p
15:44:08 <andythenorth> well, there’d be something
15:44:15 <andythenorth> it doesn’t have to be science, just has to look right :)
15:44:27 <andythenorth> but I did wonder about making the built-in stuff a bit better
15:44:53 *** moffi has joined #openttd
15:45:01 <Alberth> getting smoke from the drawn pipes is already major progress :)
15:45:39 <andythenorth> yes
15:45:42 * andythenorth is not complaining
15:45:47 <Alberth> if you have 2 pipes, you could make them emit smoke in turns :)
15:46:13 <andythenorth> yes
15:46:23 <andythenorth> odd / even
15:46:55 <Alberth> wouldn't that look odd? (or even)
15:46:58 <andythenorth> :P
15:47:06 <andythenorth> hmm, the black smoke might be needed for really big ships
15:47:13 <andythenorth> the diesel smoke looks a bit thin
