08:55:41 <DorpsGek> Commit by peter1138 :: r26855 trunk/src/widget.cpp (2014-09-20 08:55:35 UTC)
08:55:42 <DorpsGek> -Codechange: Render vertical scrollbars the same as horizontal scrollbars, with sprites instead of text.
08:57:00 <peter1138> that is actually to make bigger sprites work, but it also makes opengfx scrollbars not look like arse at the same time
08:57:54 <planetmaker> especially biggui had been a sad thing with those
08:59:05 <peter1138> (that scrollbar is pre-that commit)
08:59:36 <planetmaker> nice, so those are auto-scaled gui sprites?
08:59:38 <peter1138> X button needs to be a sprite instead of text, too
09:00:00 <planetmaker> also the drop-down button. But that's the same sprite as vertical scrollbar, I think?
09:00:10 <peter1138> here's a trick, they're autoscaled anyway, just only the non-zoomed ones are used
09:00:20 <peter1138> in src/zoom_type.h ... ZOOM_LVL_GUI =
09:00:27 <peter1138> change that to 2X instead of 4X and you get a double size ui
09:00:48 <peter1138> planetmaker, yes, that's the same. i'm going to sort that too
09:01:16 <peter1138> these patches i'm doing are also ancient :)
09:01:24 <planetmaker> peter1138, so grfs can then define the other zooms and bit depths for sprites, too, yes?
09:01:38 <planetmaker> so that automatically the correctly-zoomed is chosen?
09:01:56 <peter1138> planetmaker, but it looks like i don't need to write it cos michi_cc's done it
09:02:34 <planetmaker> better continue with it and 'steal' it before there's bit rot again festering on those patches
09:02:41 <peter1138> although it's from 2012, so may need updating
09:03:08 <peter1138> michi_cc, we at least think the same way :)
09:03:21 <peter1138> planetmaker, this is one of the reasons why i don't like the big buttons in zbase
09:03:27 <peter1138> it doesn't... make sense!
09:04:09 <planetmaker> peter1138, I fully agree
09:04:56 <planetmaker> re-visiting zbase GUI sprites is definitely on my agenda. But I miss good sprites for the other zoom levels other than 2x (or is it 4x?)
09:05:46 <peter1138> it has 2x sprites (in the 4x slot)
09:06:56 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
09:08:29 <peter1138> i was actually surprised it worked so well
09:09:23 <planetmaker> most GUI sprites scaled already. But not all... And then zbase doesn't have 2x sprites everywhere and seems to miss some sprites altogether
09:09:36 <planetmaker> (which then are replaced by its underlaying 8bpp OpenGFX sprites)
09:09:49 <peter1138> i mean i'm surprised this hack to ZOOM_LVL_GUI worked :)
09:10:25 <peter1138> i actually remember having it in my mind when i added the extra zoom levels but then did nothing with it, never even tested it
09:18:29 <DorpsGek> Commit by peter1138 :: r26856 trunk/src/company_gui.cpp (2014-09-20 09:18:22 UTC)
09:18:30 <DorpsGek> -Codechange: Ensure company face widgets can fit company face.
09:23:43 <fonsinchen> Does anyone have a save game with lots of "refit to available cargo" and other complicated order constructs? I'd like to test a patch and am too lazy to construct the test case myself ;)
09:25:18 <V453000> only refit to specific cargo in depot
09:26:16 <planetmaker> hm, not that I know a savegame with much of that. I mostly refit to specific cargoe
09:29:21 <peter1138> i've never used a refit order
09:31:34 <peter1138> makes the expand/collapse buttons, and the frames, match other windows.
09:32:28 <peter1138> Also allows the button height to match the resize button height
09:33:57 <peter1138> Hmm, I'm sure I fixed my webserver to serve diffs as plaintext :S
09:35:10 <peter1138> Hmm, similar issue with the map window, although that doesn't get the outer frames wrong.
09:39:53 <planetmaker> yeah, +1. I really needed to search to find the collaps and expand buttons. I guess I never used them ;)

09:58:28 <V453000> what says if an industry dies or not?
09:59:05 <V453000> but which part of the code
09:59:30 <V453000> my industries seem to have started dying for no reason while being well serviced
09:59:34 <V453000> am wondering what could have changed
09:59:50 <keoz> V453000: industry_cmd.cpp
10:00:44 <keoz> in FIRS there's a piece of code defining ndustry closure
10:01:43 <keoz> in src/templates/check_secondary_closure.pnml
10:02:56 <keoz> you might have a look. FIRS only closes secondary industries though. For myself, i recoded some parts of FIRS to have a general closure mechanism. If you want, I can give it to you.
10:03:45 <V453000> I think I would do it a bit differently but thats fine
10:03:57 <V453000> where do I actually put the switch?
10:04:16 <Alberth> planetmaker: default tooltip popup time is a little short isn't it? Also, it broke my right button setting :(
10:05:03 <keoz> V453000: couldn't say. I just was able to modify already parts of FIRS but that's all.
10:05:03 <Alberth> V453000: your industry nml code page is very good
10:05:19 <planetmaker> Alberth, how did it break it? Just set it anew (it's a new setting)
10:05:28 <peter1138> That reminds me... as oil rigs supposed to "produce" passengers?
10:05:51 <peter1138> Have passengers, yes of course.
10:06:12 <Alberth> planetmaker: I had my config to right button, and now it started popping up almost immediately all the time
10:06:20 <peter1138> "Passenger production at X oil rig increases 100%" feels a bit... odd.
10:06:33 <Alberth> perhaps you ignored the right button setting?
10:06:33 <planetmaker> Alberth, but not sure it's too short...
10:07:15 <planetmaker> Alberth, the old setting value prior to the changeset is ignored. Just set it anew. Or did you after that change?
10:08:46 <keoz> Alberth: if you remember our last discussion: any chance you could reload your savegame where you didn't see the storybook, with the last revision on my script ? I changed some things, the problem might be solved.
10:08:53 <planetmaker> in case of doubt set the hover time manually to 0 milliseconds
10:09:42 <Alberth> planetmaker: length of the interval is quite debatable, let's leave that. No I didn't change anything, it started popping up by itself, which seems to correspond with your patch ignoring the previous setting
10:09:54 <Rubidium> hover time 0 == right click
10:10:09 <Rubidium> was so in the past and still is so
10:10:31 <Alberth> Rubidium: yeah, I changed it already, but why wasn't that copied from the previous version?
10:10:41 <planetmaker> Alberth, if I had re-used the old setting, it would have had a hover time of 1 millisecond - even shorter :)
10:10:49 <planetmaker> I wanted a better default
10:10:59 <planetmaker> for all those who have already an openttd.cfg
10:11:02 <Rubidium> because a new setting was made (and because converting settings in the cfg is a PITA because you go back AND forth between versions as dev)
10:12:09 <Alberth> planetmaker: copying rmb setting and ignoring default length (which I agree was too small) are two different things I think
10:12:43 <Alberth> but ok, it's just a single value
10:13:51 <Alberth> keoz: euhm, right, do you happen to know the filename?
10:13:54 <peter1138> Didn't I suggest 500ms as a sensible default?
10:14:10 <peter1138> Yeah, that feels more normal to me.
10:14:45 <Alberth> peter1138: for new users it can be useful, they can also change the default if they want
10:15:21 <peter1138> 250ms is a bit short as you say.
10:15:52 <planetmaker> peter1138, Alberth everyone suggests another length...
10:16:05 <peter1138> planetmaker, I always suggested 500ms :p
10:16:05 *** luaduck_zzz has joined #openttd
10:16:17 *** luaduck_zzz is now known as luaduck
10:16:19 <peter1138> And that is at least a default that many systems use.
10:16:39 <planetmaker> I've no passion really about the default value. If you feel that 500 is a better one, be my guest and change it :)
10:16:40 <Alberth> I am not a good judge of interval length, I turn these things off very quickly, as they get in the way, hiding stuff I want to see
10:17:15 <keoz> If you have not the savegame anymore, I still have it.
10:17:15 <planetmaker> I chose it on the short end, so that new users see it and find it. Users who know it, know how to adjust the length. That was my reasoning
10:17:26 <planetmaker> I've seen more than one request why there aren't tooltips...
10:17:48 <Alberth> keoz: thanks. I do have a policy of not changing scripts etc mid-game, but I'll make an exception :)
10:18:05 <Alberth> planetmaker: 2 seconds is too long, I think we all agree on that :)
10:20:28 <peter1138> planetmaker, at 250ms, I get tooltips appearing a lot, as it's near the interval where precise positioning happens for me. 500ms reduces that tooltip-spam massively
10:21:07 <peter1138> (and that's with big fonts and big buttons :))
10:21:19 <planetmaker> and if the majority here thinks the 250ms is too short... as said, I honestly don't mind. Lool, peter1138 :)

11:57:45 <frosch123> mine did as well, then i killed grfcodec and pulled an update
11:58:27 <Eddi|zuHause2> no, like not even ctrl+alt+f1 or ctrl+alt+backspace worked
12:00:31 <frosch123> renice the "wolfi" process
12:01:14 <peter1138> just deafened myself loading up 1.4.3 :S
12:01:40 <Pikka> who plays (O)TTD with the sound on anyway?
12:01:53 <V453000> says the one who puts custom sounds in newgrfs XD
12:02:22 <Pikka> doesn't mean I want to listen to them :D
12:02:53 <frosch123> peter1138: you can disable various sound effects in advanced settings btw
12:02:56 <peter1138> i do have sounds on, but even if i didn't, i can't turn them off from the intro game
12:03:16 <V453000> peter1138: system sound :P
12:03:26 <peter1138> and it's kind of awkward for new people too
12:03:31 <frosch123> but -s null -m null is the best anyway
12:03:38 <V453000> holy fuck sound effects setting
12:03:40 <V453000> didnt know about that
12:03:53 <V453000> news ticker can fuck off now
12:04:00 <Pikka> if you turn the sounds effects down/off in a game, that stays put for the titlegame too, and on future loading...
12:04:06 <V453000> except I am probably never going to use sounds again
12:04:28 <frosch123> V453000: i think there was a specific setting for the ticker sound since 0.3
12:05:37 <frosch123> but nice that you found it :) maybe the settings are arranged better today after all
12:05:53 <V453000> no I wrote sound in the filter XD
12:05:58 <V453000> didnt even try to find it
12:06:15 <peter1138> yeah that filter is a godsend
12:06:18 <frosch123> well, the setting was in the news settings window before :p
12:06:26 <V453000> but really, where else to find it than interface
12:06:45 <V453000> well you could disable them but they would still make sounds?
12:06:55 <V453000> you would disable news entirely
12:07:00 <V453000> then they would obviously not do the sound
12:07:10 <V453000> if I understand it right, now you can see the news but they make no sound
12:08:29 <frosch123> it was there, if you found it :)
12:08:51 <V453000> if you found is apparently 0 for me

12:31:40 <Wolf01> peter1138, as you are playing with the UI, do you think a setting to double the size of any widget could work (a sort of "enable touch screen / big gui" setting)?
12:35:08 <peter1138> Wolf01, michi_cc has a patch for that...

13:12:13 <V453000> does it even mean amount of cargo?
13:18:53 <peter1138> You've got a string code in a string that shouldn't have it

13:57:32 <Rubidium> FS#6117 is complaining about month/second
14:00:54 <Wolf01> ok, got rid of those (now) useless cabeese
14:06:48 <peter1138> Damn that STR_SILVER_CROSS
14:07:17 <Rubidium> is it exported to NewGRFs?
14:07:49 <Rubidium> if not, then you can easily just refer to the sprite and remove the string code of it, right?
14:08:16 <peter1138> it's got a colour remap, which works because it's text
14:08:23 <peter1138> complete with a shadow
14:08:43 <peter1138> so to draw the sprite directly means i'd need to set up a remap, one for black and one for silver
14:09:02 <peter1138> not impossible but slightly more of a pain than just switching to drawsprite
14:25:08 <frosch123> it's just used in the newspaper?
14:25:40 <frosch123> make it black instead? :p
14:27:00 <peter1138> yes, just there. on a white background, no less!

15:00:06 <Pikka> is it a great game or what?
15:00:30 <Eddi|zuHause> it's sort of alright. the graphics are amazing, the logic is a bit lacking, and the UI is a bit fiddly at times
15:01:09 <Eddi|zuHause> and one of the music titles sounds liḱe a mashup of TTD music :p
15:10:54 <Pikka> hmm, mashups of TTD music
15:11:29 * Pikka wants the new soundtrack from the mobile Transport Tycoon.
15:21:23 <peter1138> hmm, guess i need to sort out the settings window
15:26:07 <Supercheese> If you have the .apk for the new transport tycoon you can just extract the music from it. The quality is kinda eh, but it's there

15:31:38 <Eddi|zuHause> no matter which side you start on, at some point it complains that it can't terraform the river, because on the other side it started the bridge too late
15:32:47 <frosch123> can't you define the start manually?
15:33:01 <frosch123> the bridge has to start somewhat away from the river
15:37:49 <Eddi|zuHause> and the second track tries to make a dam up to that point, but fails because it would cover the river
15:39:11 <Eddi|zuHause> and if i try to build the other track first, the problem is symmetric on the other side
15:43:33 <Rubidium> just single track the bridge ;)
15:43:36 <peter1138> hmm, maybe depot windows should just use ZOOM_LVL_4X instead of ZOOM_LVL_GUI

15:46:22 <Wolf01> couldn't you divide the tracks near the river and build 2 bridges slightly more distant from each other?

17:41:18 <Pikka> I did a reappraisal based on the fact that I now have these hoverzellepins
17:45:10 <andythenorth> is 16 more or less?
17:45:21 <DorpsGek> Commit by translators :: r26865 trunk/src/lang/welsh.txt (2014-09-20 17:45:14 UTC)
17:45:22 <DorpsGek> -Update from WebTranslator v3.0:
17:45:23 <DorpsGek> welsh - 11 changes by kazzie
17:45:45 <Pikka> more IDs, fewer boats. changing graphics is an etc etc.
17:46:04 <andythenorth> hoverzellepins are a bad feature
17:46:11 <andythenorth> but I think they’re inevitable
17:46:30 <Pikka> SRN4s are a bad feature, but I might just be saying that to get out of modelling it :D
17:54:07 <Supercheese> It's funny, the most recent 'zeppelin'-style airship currently in flight testing uses hovercraft-pads as landing gear
17:54:14 <Supercheese> so it is a hoverzeppelin zeppelin
17:55:47 <andythenorth> we should fix the game for horses
17:56:07 <Pikka> just make the horses go 80 mph
17:57:35 <andythenorth> Pikka: will your horse-wagons be non-articulated?
17:58:10 <Pikka> which horse-wagons, andythenorth?
17:58:55 <andythenorth> YOU MUST USE SEMIS
17:59:42 <Pikka> so I look at these ferries
18:00:41 <Alberth> shouldn't the jet and the horse swap places?
18:02:14 <andythenorth> I like the ugly blue ship
18:02:30 <andythenorth> also you’d have to load them with cars
18:04:34 *** Supercheese has joined #openttd
18:18:40 <andythenorth> it’s kind of boring if the docs give too much info, right?
18:19:02 <Pikka> pertinent info, or random info?
18:19:45 <Pikka> it's better to have answer the question in the readme than be asked it 40 times, but then you have to ask whether the kind of person who can't figure these things out reads readmes anyway. :)
18:20:17 <Japa> Is there a way currently to import rivers and/or trees from an image?
18:20:34 <Pikka> I don't think so, sounds like a fun project though :D
18:20:54 <andythenorth> Pikka: stuff like stats of the vehicles
18:21:08 <andythenorth> intro date, yes. Speed, capacity, power, not so much
18:21:21 <Pikka> fairly pointless I'd have thought, since they're all displayed in the game
18:23:50 <b_jonas> argh, only two squares in this oil rig actually accept oil
18:33:56 <V453000> Pikka: even if you write things everywhere, put there images, explain to people personally over and over again, there is still going to be vast majority who will either 1. ask you about it because they do not understand/know it, or 2. ask you about it because they read it and have questions about it
18:34:00 <V453000> there is no escape :D
18:34:42 <Alberth> you forgot "ask because they think it's faster and simpler than reading" :)
18:42:38 <b_jonas> gtfo, I'm a big oil company, I don't have to respect your stupid local rules, town!
18:42:57 <peter1138> No, you just transport it. Not quite the same.
18:45:08 <b_jonas> I need a water tunnel here
18:46:26 <b_jonas> I transport their passengers, but their town is not growing.
18:52:23 <b_jonas> wait, does an unsuccessful bribe really set the town rating to -50, which is enough to build a station? then I'll bribe
18:54:17 <b_jonas> it doesn't increase the rating
18:54:28 <b_jonas> still, it doesn't decrease it either, so I don't have much to lose
19:12:51 <Pikka> frosch123, andythenorth; so the plan is to eventually use effects for ship wakes, etc? :)
19:13:11 <Pikka> custom effect vehicles, and all that? :)
19:14:20 <Pikka> in any case, I'm not having any animated wakes or water effects in my set - the extra sprite sets needed would blow out the newgrf size massively. so if the ships are going to have "nice" wakes instead of just floating over the water, that will be the only way it could happen. :)
19:15:53 <frosch123> Pikka: almost, the goal is to have coloured smoke and nyan rainbows in nuts
19:16:04 <frosch123> (maybe V does not know about it yet, though)
19:16:43 <b_jonas> but how would you ensure the wake is always on water, not on land?
19:17:07 <Pikka> the boat generates it where the boat is
19:17:14 <Pikka> so assuming the boat is on water...
19:17:17 <frosch123> the same way as it is ensured that the ship is always on water
19:17:31 <frosch123> have you ever seen a ship on land in ttd? :p
19:17:42 <Pikka> frosch123, feature request for hovercraft
19:18:11 <b_jonas> frosch123: yes, I've seen large ships partly overlapping land
19:18:23 <frosch123> b_jonas: fix your irony detector
19:58:26 *** Smedles has joined #openttd
19:58:42 <andythenorth> Pikka: wondering if I can use that hoverzep for the 400pax version
19:58:53 <andythenorth> it’s hit max width for | views at current size
19:59:06 <Pikka> hoverzeps are wide, though...
19:59:29 <Pikka> I mean, you could use it for that if you wanted. Or I could do a bigger one and it can be "too wide" :)
19:59:36 <andythenorth> too wide clips the docks
19:59:44 <andythenorth> been there, done that :)
20:00:15 <andythenorth> does the render magic downscale more?
20:00:28 <Pikka> I thought one of your problems with the existing graphics was that it was too small? :)
20:01:01 <andythenorth> so I have the ogfx sprite for the 400pax thing
20:01:04 <andythenorth> and that is too small
20:01:18 <andythenorth> it’s same width as the landing craft zep I drew
20:01:26 <Pikka> isn't it bigger than the new one? :D
20:03:10 <Pikka> hmm.. well, for the SRN4ish one, I was planning to make it pretty much a whole tile wide
20:03:16 <Pikka> so that's definitely going to clip stuff
20:03:24 <Pikka> might be worth it, though? :D
20:03:29 <andythenorth> yair, they stick out the side of locks
20:03:51 <Pikka> well it's up to you, since I'd only be doing it for FISH
20:04:01 <Pikka> I'm sticking to small hovercraft only for mine :)
20:04:57 <andythenorth> I’ll figure something out
20:05:06 <andythenorth> I’m not too bothered about SRN 4 being an SRN 4
20:06:52 *** Myhorta has joined #openttd
20:42:43 <b_jonas> wait, so more squares provide goods than accept oil?
20:43:28 *** Phoenix_the_II has joined #openttd
20:44:57 <Supercheese> All industry tiles produce, while not all may accept
20:45:14 <Pikka> actually, no industry tiles produce
20:45:15 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
20:45:18 <Pikka> the industry produces ;)
20:45:29 <Supercheese> "supply", then :P
20:51:53 <Supercheese> Uuuuugh, so many strings to translate
20:52:33 <Supercheese> although fewer than Wesnoth it seems...
20:54:49 <Rubidium> Supercheese: only 26 thousand
20:55:13 <Eddi|zuHause> over nine thousand?
20:56:48 <Supercheese> 59023 strings or so it claims
20:58:03 <Rubidium> it counts all equivalents of NewGRFs and (game) scripts as well
20:58:26 <Supercheese> yeah, no effort is being made to translate those it seems
20:59:06 <Rubidium> still about 11k for the first section
20:59:35 <Supercheese> Still, once I finish main OTTD I would like to tackle the stuff available on eints
20:59:38 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
20:59:52 <Rubidium> oh... official core packages is only 4535
21:00:05 <Supercheese> 10689 strings in that upper section by my reckoning
21:00:59 <Rubidium> and only 53 languages
21:00:59 <frosch123> Rubidium: the first section also contains the "official" scenarios or so
21:01:02 <Supercheese> vs. 4103 for OTTD
21:01:16 <Rubidium> @calc 53*4535 - 61*4103
21:01:29 <frosch123> scenarios in ottd do not have enough text :p
21:01:36 <Eddi|zuHause> (steam:5353): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent. <-- that sounds creepy
21:01:38 <Rubidium> we got more strings in official packages! ;)
21:02:11 <Rubidium> yup.. definitely creepy that that kind of strings get through QA at steam
21:02:15 <Supercheese> not that that changes creepiness
21:03:23 * peter1138 grumbles at bunching up trains
21:05:17 <Pikka> andythenorth, I've got a car ferry srn4esque hoverzeppelin going here that's not much bigger, footprintwise, than the little one
21:05:24 <Pikka> just taller and bulkier
21:05:31 <andythenorth> is it sprites to see yet?
21:09:13 <andythenorth> moar distorted proportions
21:09:26 <andythenorth> squid is still too realisms
21:11:49 <andythenorth> also the \ views are as long as - views
21:15:11 * peter1138 removes 240v from andythenorth
21:15:42 <FLHerne> andythenorth: How about LARC-Vs, as used by Searles?
21:16:05 <FLHerne> They want to run a regular ferry service across the Wash with them from next year, apparently
21:16:06 <andythenorth> what does it do?
21:16:47 <FLHerne> Looks like a small ship/mid-sized boat with 4 wheels on. Can carry 3 cars or 30-odd pax
21:16:53 <FLHerne> Has a ramp on one end
21:17:39 <FLHerne> Loads up at the promenade, trundles off down the beach, across and up the other side. Functionally equivalent to a really slow hovercraft
21:17:49 <Pikka> have to be pretty small cars...
21:19:06 <FLHerne> Pikka: I'm sure that was what I read in an article about the Skeggie trip
21:20:17 <Supercheese> It's rather small
21:20:58 <Supercheese> also impossible, yes that
21:21:21 <Supercheese> barring some extreme wizardry
21:24:09 <FLHerne> Hmm, do I have my models right? Those ones are smaller than the one I'm thinking of
21:24:18 <FLHerne> Which is a 60-seater, per their site
21:25:23 <FLHerne> Oh, apparently they only took one car, but think they could do 2 at a time for scheduled services
21:39:04 <FLHerne> Looking at LARC types, I think it's a pair of LARC-XVs that Searles has right now
21:39:20 <FLHerne> LX might be more use as a TTD type, though-
21:40:02 <FLHerne> And I assume they must be looking at one for the Skeggie run, because a LARC-XV just isn't big enough for their claimed plans
21:40:08 <Supercheese> But it'd be just another boat
21:40:22 <Supercheese> can't make it go on land
21:42:54 <FLHerne> That also goes for the hovercraft
21:45:40 <Supercheese> The hoverzeppelins have the advantage of being rather fast over water
21:45:47 <Supercheese> this LARC thingy, not so
21:48:42 <andythenorth> tomorrow, Swindon
21:48:55 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
21:50:32 <FLHerne> Supercheese: LARCs have the advantage of being painfully slow on water, does that count?
21:54:33 <Supercheese> Does it have the LCARS user interface? :P
