07:52:45 <BekarfelPC> how do I rotate my view in OpenTTD 1.4.2?
07:56:24 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
07:57:19 <__ln__> turn your head
07:57:22 <b_jonas> BekarfelPC: you can't do that. many tiles just don't have rotated graphics.
07:58:37 <BekarfelPC> what a horrible game
07:59:18 <b_jonas> use the transparency settings to show what's behind trees and buildings
07:59:40 <andythenorth> he’s right
07:59:42 <andythenorth> it’s horrible
07:59:44 <andythenorth> we should quit
08:00:15 <BekarfelPC> I ain't quit yet, so stuff it, andythenorth
08:00:22 * andythenorth stuffs it
08:00:26 <andythenorth> where is it now though?
08:00:30 <b_jonas> incidentally, has openttd implemented that option where transparency applies only to the tiles on the bottom half of the screen, like in ttdpatch?
08:00:50 <BekarfelPC> it's stuff'd. 'nuff said
08:01:06 <andythenorth> is it a bot?
08:02:11 <BekarfelPC> no. I am not a bot. what makes you think I'm a bot. I'M INNOCENT I SAY!@$?@#%#^y%$^&%$&*%&*(^&
08:02:20 * planetmaker can't even imagine how and where that would be useful, b_jonas
08:02:34 <andythenorth> how do you know you’re not a bot?
08:02:45 <planetmaker> andythenorth, mind your matrix ;)
08:03:04 <andythenorth> planetmaker: are you a bot?
08:03:08 <planetmaker> I also heard rumours of an american roster set?
08:03:11 <b_jonas> hmm, well, more useful might be some way to mark squares containing trees in such a way that the overlapping transparent tree silhouettes don't cover all the squares behind
08:03:13 <planetmaker> probably
08:03:18 <b_jonas> like, with little circles on the ground or something
08:03:22 <BekarfelPC> my charging outlet tells me so
08:03:49 <planetmaker> except I malfunction as a bot :P
08:04:27 <andythenorth> planetmaker: american roster set? o_O
08:04:35 <planetmaker> read your IH thread :P
08:04:41 <andythenorth> ha
08:04:43 <andythenorth> I saw that
08:04:50 <BekarfelPC> I am so confused
08:04:51 <andythenorth> we’re not doing american next
08:05:10 <andythenorth> something else planned
08:05:17 <planetmaker> what's next?
08:05:18 <andythenorth> american will happen later
08:05:21 <planetmaker> bandit revived?
08:05:32 <andythenorth> finish Squid, do Road Hog
08:05:43 <planetmaker> hm :) good prospect, I guess
08:05:52 <planetmaker> squid rcs are nice. But told you already :)
08:06:12 <planetmaker> heck, it made me really enjoy a game for leasure only after quite some time :)
08:06:14 <andythenorth> they’re nearly done, just need pikka to do hover zellepins
08:06:22 <planetmaker> and w/o game script :)
08:06:31 <andythenorth> and I need to do an extra tanker
08:07:00 <planetmaker> it got about the right stepping in cargo capacity with that set. Kudos really :)
08:07:07 <andythenorth> thanks :)
08:07:11 <andythenorth> it took some work
08:07:15 <andythenorth> lots of back and forth
08:07:23 <planetmaker> yeah. Well. It paid off, I think
08:07:24 <andythenorth> I know this re-designing isn’t popular
08:07:31 <andythenorth> but I don’t see how else to make it good
08:07:50 * planetmaker doesn't quite care so much. If one doesn't like a new(er) version, just use the old
08:08:24 <andythenorth> I also learnt how much MB got right with NewShips
08:08:36 <andythenorth> Squid kind of has similar roster in the end
08:08:39 <andythenorth> and unrealistically fast speeds
08:09:06 <b_jonas> realism... aww
08:10:01 <planetmaker> well, 40 km/h is not that unrealistic, tbh
08:14:07 <andythenorth> r/l is more like 25km/h

11:33:32 *** jA_cOp has joined #openttd
11:35:03 <jA_cOp> Hello :) I'm new to the game, trying to set up so a train drops goods for transfer and picks up coal, then another train doing the converse, dropping coal for transfer and picking up goods. Is this possible? If not, are there any good workarounds?
11:36:39 <Eddi|zuHause> you need to enable cargo distribution (anything other than "manual") for this to work
11:37:08 *** Guest944 has quit IRC
11:37:52 <Eddi|zuHause> also, you need a vehicle set that allows refitting at stations (autorefit)
11:38:20 <jA_cOp> Ah neat, I see it has a wiki article and I'm using 1.4.3-RC2, so I should be able to use it. Thanks
11:38:27 <Eddi|zuHause> the default vehicles cannot do this, but for example opengfx+trains
11:38:38 <jA_cOp> Both trains have both goods and coal carriages
11:38:51 <jA_cOp> not the most efficient but it should work without refitting, right?
11:38:53 <Eddi|zuHause> ah, that can work as well, then
11:49:07 *** Tirili has joined #openttd
11:50:21 *** pure has joined #openttd
11:50:24 <pure> Hello!
11:51:01 * pure wonders. Is there much different between the stable release and nightly builds at the moment?
11:51:18 <b_jonas> jA_cOp: I usually just put them on separate trains, but one train can work as well
11:51:50 <Eddi|zuHause> pure: there is no comprehensive changelog yet, so it's difficult to tell
11:52:00 <b_jonas> but you know power stations don't produce goods, right? :)
11:52:26 <jA_cOp> It's not the power station that produces the goods, it's a sawmill
11:53:12 *** oskari89 has joined #openttd
11:53:43 <pure> Do power stations actually do anything, that said?
11:54:35 <Eddi|zuHause> no
11:54:40 <b_jonas> pure: they pay you lots of money, very useful in early game. and they emit smoke, which you can now hide if you make industries transparent.
11:54:54 <pure> Ha
11:54:54 <Eddi|zuHause> they just eat your coal. actually, it isn't your coal.
11:55:50 <pure> So they don't do anything with the coal?
11:56:04 <b_jonas> they burn it
11:56:07 <Eddi|zuHause> do you do anything with your food?
11:56:07 <V453000> they burn it duh :D
11:56:08 <V453000> realistic
11:56:52 <pure> I mean, it doesn't make power to make factories more efficient or anything ;)
11:57:03 <Eddi|zuHause> no
11:57:21 <Eddi|zuHause> neither does it affect your electrified railways
11:57:43 <pure> It should!

11:58:38 *** oskari892 has quit IRC
12:00:43 <b_jonas> pure: in some newgfxs, coal works like in locomotion in that you can transport it to either a power station or a steel mill, and a steel mill requires both coal and iron ore
12:01:40 <b_jonas> those steel mills also have nice graphics
12:01:48 <b_jonas> not realistic, but nice
12:02:02 <b_jonas> with sparkle and molten metal flowing if the mill is active
12:03:16 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
12:03:18 <andythenorth> o/
12:03:24 <pure> 0Heh
12:03:34 <pure> Is it Simutrans where power stations actually do stuff?
12:05:44 <b_jonas> dunno, maybe it's Civilization?
12:05:49 <pure> So, if the commuter airport has more throughput than city airports, do they replace city airports if they've not already been replaced by metripolitans?
12:06:03 <b_jonas> no wait
12:06:08 <b_jonas> it's Simcity
12:06:51 <b_jonas> pure: what do you mean "replace"?
12:07:16 <pure> Make redundant/obselete?
12:07:19 <b_jonas> I don't think large airports in the default gfx are ever replaced
12:07:36 <b_jonas> I don't think so, because the larger airports are probably more expensive to construct and maintain
12:08:14 <pure> Though commuter still count as small airports, so they can't handle jets?
12:09:13 <b_jonas> pure: no, I don't think so
12:09:22 <Eddi|zuHause> some aircraft sets have planes that can land on small airports even in late stages of the game
12:09:33 <b_jonas> http://wiki.openttd.org/Airport#City says the City Airport "is the first airport available that can handle jet aircraft"
12:09:36 <Eddi|zuHause> commuter counts as small airport
12:10:33 <b_jonas> Eddi|zuHause: I think even the default set has those, but those airplanes are usually not worth to use
12:10:56 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't usually use aircraft anyway
12:10:59 <b_jonas> they have a too small capacity
12:11:02 <Eddi|zuHause> they have terrible capacity
12:11:04 <b_jonas> http://wiki.openttd.org/Air_Comparison shows
12:11:18 <pure> I am considering having a sort of branching system for my airports, with a single intercontinental serving some internationals serving metro/cities, with some city/metros serving commuters.
12:12:18 <Eddi|zuHause> allegedly, the international airport can handle more aircraft than the intercontinental
12:12:31 <Eddi|zuHause> due to some inefficiencies in the ground routing
12:12:49 <pure> Right, even thought the intercon has double the runways?
12:14:13 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
12:14:44 <pure> I wonder if sticking to intercontinental airports together would be an alright idea.
12:15:38 <b_jonas> pure: you can't do that, not with the default setting of station spread
12:15:52 <Eddi|zuHause> you cannot combine airports
12:15:56 <pure> Yes, but if you amped up the station spread?
12:16:10 <pure> Ah
12:16:10 <Eddi|zuHause> but you can have separate stations and connect them with a shuttle bus or tram
12:16:16 <Eddi|zuHause> with cargodist
12:16:39 <b_jonas> pure: if you want to handle such large traffic, trains are usually more efficient
12:16:45 <pure> Is it possible to have airplanes intelligently route to the station with the least traffic?
12:16:50 <Eddi|zuHause> no
12:20:14 <peter1138> tempted to enable cdist for passengers in my next game
12:20:53 <__ln__> pure: for every question involving "is it possible to do ____ intelligently", the answer is no.
12:21:03 <pure> I tend to have it enabled for all cargo.
12:21:10 <pure> __ln__: ha
12:21:39 <pure> Are helicopters ever better than just having a bus connected to an airport?
12:22:38 <b_jonas> pure: dunno, maybe if you have a challenge like transfer passengers to all oil rigs

14:55:42 <pure> Is there any sort of roadmap for 1.4/1.5?
14:57:16 <planetmaker> 1.4 is finished and will only receive bug fixes till 1.5 is released
14:57:36 <planetmaker> and there's no road map. Stuff happens and gets written. And that will be included in 1.5
14:57:50 *** djmattyg has joined #openttd
14:58:08 <planetmaker> If you play our nightlies you get a pretty good idea of what 1.5 will look like. They're 1.5.0-alpha
14:58:39 <djmattyg> What sorts of things are planned for 1.5?
14:59:09 <planetmaker> roadmap is the same as planning :)
14:59:41 <planetmaker> no-one can say really. Whatever takes people's fancy, what they finalize such that it can get included
15:02:21 <planetmaker> however there's a somewhat maintained todo list in the wiki: http://wiki.openttd.org/Todo_list
15:02:37 <planetmaker> if *someone* takes on those tasks, they've a really high chance :)
15:04:48 <djmattyg> Thanks for the link
15:06:20 <b_jonas> high chance of what?
15:07:25 <b_jonas> is the group of a vehicle displayed somewhere in the vehicle dialog box or one of its sub-dialogs; as opposed to the vehicles list?

16:42:14 * pure would love to see shared infrastructure be a thing, that said.
16:43:23 <Alberth> pure: mostly all commits labeled "feature" since last march or so
16:43:41 <Alberth> quak
16:43:46 * pure nods.
16:44:33 <planetmaker> quak and hi :)
16:44:39 <Alberth> hi hi planetmaker
16:44:44 <planetmaker> http://devs.openttd.org/~frosch/backport.txt <-- without any guarantee of being complete
16:45:21 <pure> Is the git repo literally just a mirror to svn?
16:45:27 <planetmaker> yes
16:45:32 <frosch123> except it is only trunk
16:45:52 <frosch123> moin everyone :)
16:46:11 * pure still can't bring himself to like svn :P
16:46:26 <frosch123> it would be worse the other way around :p
16:46:54 <pure> git is beautiful :p
16:46:55 * Alberth can't love git
16:47:19 *** Brumi has quit IRC
16:48:00 * planetmaker wouldn't like being forced to mess with git
16:48:04 * pure started with git, so finds everything else alien.
16:48:14 <frosch123> yeah, then you are stuck :p
16:48:37 <pure> I -can- use svn, I just don't fully understand it nor why it does stuff like it do :P
16:48:46 <Sylf> you're so lucky that git was available when you started with version controls
16:49:09 <frosch123> though he was unlucky to not find hg first
16:49:13 <Rubidium> there's one major drawback to git, at least at my office...
16:49:36 <Rubidium> people forget to commit stuff, so undoubtedly they forget to push stuff as well
16:49:46 <Alberth> :)
16:49:56 <planetmaker> lol :)
16:49:58 <Sylf> aye.
16:50:08 <andythenorth> git ftw
16:50:09 <frosch123> rather common issue
16:50:10 <Sylf> no tool is a silverbullet against human errors
16:50:17 <Rubidium> and since they're commit 2 weeks of work at once kind of guys, the extra push step is kinda a PITA
16:50:21 <andythenorth> dunno why, but git vastly suits me more than hg
16:50:26 <andythenorth> it’s not better, just better fitted to me
16:50:39 <andythenorth> engineers seem to confuse ‘is better’ with ‘fits me better'
16:50:53 <andythenorth> and then reach for pseudo-objective bullshit to back up their prejudice :P
16:50:56 <pure> oh, no, no, no
16:51:00 <pure> git is objectively better ;)
16:51:08 <Sylf> I haven't had a chance to use git or hg yet....
16:51:08 <Rubidium> having said that, I wouldn't want to dare to do complex merges because even a simple merge requires manually copying code...
16:51:18 *** JorickL has joined #openttd
16:51:54 <planetmaker> Sylf, as piece of advice: if you do, start with hg first.
16:52:08 <pure> git does handle merges pretty well.
16:52:09 <Sylf> convincing my office to use any kind of version control was hard enough...
16:52:35 <Rubidium> pure: arguably git doesn't do binary merges of LabVIEW files
16:53:01 <Sylf> I see that hg is what coop dev site uses, so that helps, pm.
16:53:16 <planetmaker> Sylf, I'm still having that hard time. I simply setup a repo and made use of it. And if collegues ask me for some of my code I direct them at that server :)
16:53:21 <planetmaker> That slowly seems to work
16:53:25 <planetmaker> very slowly, but does
16:53:41 <pure> well, no, but can any SVC do that out of the box? (Also, -source code-, LabVIEW files aren't exactly source code :P)
16:54:03 <planetmaker> sure they are source code. What else?
16:54:09 <pure> Binary files
16:54:21 <andythenorth> meh
16:54:22 <pure> Source code by definition is text, surely?
16:54:29 <frosch123> nfs is far supporior to vcs then :P
16:54:33 <andythenorth> Iron Horse has 8 BAD FEATURES
16:54:36 <andythenorth> the limit is 3 :(
16:54:36 <Sylf> my first exposure to version control was cvs. I'll survive anything.
16:54:46 <Rubidium> pure: true, none can... but with git you tend to do development and merge, whereas with svn that isn't the basic idea
16:54:49 <Sylf> as long as it's anything newer than cvs.
16:55:02 <frosch123> how about sccs or rcs then?
16:55:09 <andythenorth> bzr
16:55:12 <Alberth> frosch123: it's not newer :p
16:55:14 <planetmaker> haha, Sylf :) That one I tried ages ago. I found it... extremely unintuitive to use
16:55:18 <pure> Though, iirc, git might support plugins for merging certain files and stuff
16:55:24 <frosch123> Alberth: psst :)
16:56:17 <Sylf> I'll just survive. Not make a full use out of them :D
16:56:24 <planetmaker> :)
16:56:24 <frosch123> how about an advanced setting to hide the fast-forward button?
16:56:40 <pure> Though with binaries files, I'd just merge based upon modified date/whichever one is mine, rather than diff.
16:56:42 <frosch123> keeps people from complaining that it is too fast resp. not faster at all
16:56:42 <Alberth> lol
16:56:54 <planetmaker> hehe
16:57:31 <Alberth> pure: good luck in a distributed system then

16:58:08 <pure> Though diffing well know file types shouldn't be too hard. There must be pngdiff and stuff along those lines.
16:58:16 * pure digresses and wanders off.
16:58:32 <frosch123> labview is not well known, it even fails to load its own files from 2 versions ago
16:58:56 <Alberth> :)
16:58:58 <frosch123> but, ok, my knowledge starts to age about labview
16:59:16 <frosch123> i guess i just it 2006 the last time or so
16:59:26 <frosch123> *used
16:59:34 <Alberth> I have seen it, that's about it :)
16:59:38 <planetmaker> I didn't use it for two years probably. But ... yeah, it's a pita. I learned the hard way that it's a bad idea to update your labview install
16:59:41 <Rubidium> frosch123: 8.6.1 to 2012 went relatively fine
16:59:57 <planetmaker> good that I still had the backup clone of the hard disk :)

20:44:03 <__ln__> is anyone aware of a serial protocol intended for an external device to poll whether a piece of software is still running on a computer? (i.e. some kind of a watchdog)
20:44:21 <__ln__> and to keep it on-topic, yeah sure i want to do this with a newgrf.
20:48:01 <JorickL> Hmm, not that I'm aware off, and I'm not sure if I'm helping you with this, but isn't it possible to include it in your software (no idea in what language newgrf's are made), but via the TCP protocol you could set listeners on ports on your PC. The laggy thing is: you need to forward those ports in your router to the PC where the software is running... And thus you need to set that up in the
20:48:01 <JorickL> 'client' on the external device.
20:48:56 <__ln__> in this case i'd like to keep things simple and avoid using network; just serial interface.
20:49:24 <planetmaker> what about a normal terminal? VESA?
20:49:44 <JorickL> Just curious, what kind of 'device' needs to comunicate with the PC? :)
20:51:09 <__ln__> the external device would constantly ask the computer "are you still alive?", and if no response is received within e.g. 2 minutes, the external device does something, e.g. sets a digital output pin to 1.
20:51:45 <__ln__> which could then reset the computer, or send an alarm, or whatever.
20:52:07 <Rubidium> __ln__: http://www.berkprod.com/Product_Web_Pages/external_serial_pc_watchdog.aspx ?
20:53:56 <__ln__> Rubidium: yeah, something like that, but what i'm asking is whether there's any commonly used protocol for such devices, or do they all use their own.
20:56:52 <JorickL> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=247206.0
20:57:02 <JorickL> You could create one yourself if you'd like to... ;-)
20:57:10 <frosch123> oh noes, we got featured again
20:59:11 <JorickL> Basicly: the device needs to send a signal - no matter what kind of signal - to the PC on one of the (Virtual) COM-ports... The PC needs software running and listening to that COM-port, to send a 'response'. The controller device needs to know what the PC is sending back as an 'OK-signal' and then do nothing.
21:00:29 <JorickL> And you can use any port if you like, even a second LAN connection on your PC will do the job, if the controller-device can talk back via the same protocol
21:01:43 <andythenorth> bye
21:01:44 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
21:03:09 <__ln__> i'm feeling i'm not making myself clear enough... i have no uncertainty about the principle on which the device should operate; i'm merely asking if there is a serial protocol for all that.
21:06:14 <JorickL> Not that I'm aware of
