13:48:34 <supermop> someone want to play cooperatively?
13:49:47 *** Pokka is now known as Pikka
13:50:40 <supermop> someone want to play acrimoniously?
13:53:26 <planetmaker> now I need a dictionary
13:54:07 <planetmaker> never, supermop ! ;)
13:54:10 <Pikka> andythenorth, turns out that recolour masks aren't that hard. but still look a bit ugly :)
13:54:39 * andythenorth suppresses flippant answers to that :P
13:54:44 <andythenorth> too ugly to ship
13:54:56 <Pikka> fairly necessary for the base set
13:55:03 <supermop> little shunter thing looked good Pikka
13:55:11 <Pikka> too ugly to stop doing seperate sprites for each livery in my newgrfs, I think. :)
13:56:11 <Pikka> it's had a few refinements since then, un-cc'd the headlight, made the mask a bit lighter. It's looking good enough (tm).
13:56:37 <Pikka> not sure what to do with the steamers
13:56:54 <Pikka> not sure if there's a better option than unmoving connecting rods
13:59:58 <supermop> base set cannot be animated?
14:00:09 <supermop> sounds like that should be fixed
14:00:42 <Pikka> I'm not sure if it can. I suppose I could try.
14:01:37 <Pikka> Base sets can't do anything that would potentially desync, but I don't know if OpenTTD does any checking on them to limit what you can do, planetmaker?
14:02:32 <Pikka> "This file can also contain some other NewGRF actions, as long as they are static and do not change game properties (1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, C, 10, 12, possibly some static features from 0 and 2)." is what the OpenTTD wiki says.
14:03:15 <supermop> patch the game so default trains are animated?
14:04:52 <Pikka> if you can do anything that doesn't change vehicle speeds/stats/etc, there's a *lot* you could add to a base set... any cosmetic vehicle change, different train end cars, gear up and down sprites for planes, etc.
14:05:09 <planetmaker> Pikka, I'm not entirely sure if there's a hard limit as in what they can actually do in their 'extra' grf
14:05:32 <planetmaker> i.e. I'm not sure whether it's enforced... in case of doubt it should. Except for water :D
14:05:46 <supermop> the TTD extra sprites could just reuse the same sprites for each frame?
14:06:05 <Pikka> are you talking about "patch the game so default trains are animated?"? So not happening. :P
14:07:03 <planetmaker> Pikka, using proper action2 etc for vehicles in the extra grf would definitely break in some way. At least other NewGRFs
14:07:48 <planetmaker> Not sure whether you would simply define new vehicles (as a normal NewGRF does) or rewrite the default ones
14:08:24 <Pikka> I'm not sure "rewriting the default ones" is even possible any more.
14:08:29 <planetmaker> Pikka, that problem is actually why OpenGFX+ NewGRFs do exist - so that the base set can remain compatible to all newgrfs
14:09:02 <Pikka> okay, Pineapple Base+ newgrfs for animated wheels. Or just Pineapple Trains. :P
14:09:19 <planetmaker> I tried to put as much in OpenGFX itself... but yeah, vehicles and industries and airports - even their ground awareness - not possible :(
14:11:57 <supermop> why couldn't the game be patched to add trams to default vehicles?
14:12:13 <andythenorth> because it’s not TTD
14:12:18 <supermop> not saying it should be
14:12:27 <andythenorth> the game has to stay true to TTD
14:12:28 <Pikka> it probably could, someone would need to make some default trams though :)
14:12:35 <andythenorth> there are no trams in TTD
14:12:44 <andythenorth> also, there might be newgrfs which depend on the absence of trams
14:12:54 <andythenorth> they might be broken by the introduction of trams
14:12:57 <andythenorth> it’s a change of API
14:13:03 <Pikka> there are no supercolossal airports in TTD either
14:13:15 <andythenorth> but there are in TTDPatch
14:13:19 <andythenorth> which is the same thing
14:13:25 <andythenorth> TTDPatch does not have default trams
14:14:29 * andythenorth _might_ have had too much coffee
14:14:43 <Pikka> I don't see how a newgrf could rely on an absence of trams ;)
14:15:01 <Pikka> it can't prevent other grfs from adding trams, apart from anything else
14:15:14 <andythenorth> engine pool remains a bug, remember?
14:15:20 * andythenorth is not being helpful
14:15:24 <andythenorth> I would put andythenorth on /ignore tbh
14:16:54 * andythenorth changes andythenorth into a better person
14:17:21 <planetmaker> supermop, yes and no. Generally NewGRFs rely on the fact that they can disable the default vehicles. If we add more default vehicles, we'd implicitly break all those
14:17:53 <planetmaker> Similarily they can rely on a default vehicle having those specific stats and just change a part of them. Thus changing stats would break those
14:18:04 <andythenorth> also we should remove trams so we can do roadtypes
14:19:09 <supermop> well thats the thing that's odd to me - the game doesn't really have a good built in concept of roadtypes, but sort-of has tramway built in
14:19:14 * andythenorth goes back to making up truck names
14:19:16 <supermop> albeit without the trams
14:19:41 <supermop> seems like either tramways should be removed from base sets, or trams added to them
14:19:42 <planetmaker> I still do have the idea of a set of default NewGRFs, each aimed for a specific feature (like trams, RV, trains, industries, airports, tracks, objects) which would ship with the game. And which would de-activate (by default) when the user loads another NewGRF touching their realm
14:20:36 <supermop> if the + newgrfs can be added by default (and on servers by extension) that would be neat
14:28:04 *** Myhorta has joined #openttd
14:32:51 *** shirish has joined #openttd
14:34:00 <supermop> need to write some kind of about page for myself
14:34:13 <supermop> looking for a way to put off doing that
14:53:30 <planetmaker> I knew I knew that nick :P
15:15:42 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
15:21:24 <argoneus> I accidentally had my private key in authorized_keys on a vps
15:21:37 <argoneus> time to generate a new one
15:32:01 *** Klanticus has joined #openttd
15:32:02 <SpComb> the private key isn't even a single line :P
15:32:37 <SpComb> but using `scp .ssh/id_rsa foo.bar:.ssh/authorized_keys` to deploy your ssh keys is indeed a very bad idea :P
15:32:59 <SpComb> although, as long as your private key is encrypted, it's not toooooo bad
15:33:11 <SpComb> and it is passphrase-protected with you using ssh-agent, right? :)
15:35:15 <planetmaker> SpComb, but why not scp the key such way (except that one should not overwrite the authorized keys file but amend)?
15:35:27 <SpComb> 'cause there's ssh-copy-id
15:35:46 <SpComb> and it's way too easy to typo .ssh/id_rsa vs .ssh/id_rsa.pub if using tab-completion
15:58:48 <argoneus> nginx is pretty cool :O
15:58:54 <argoneus> making custom configs is pretty graceful
15:59:00 <argoneus> like serving a specific file to be text
16:24:17 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
16:28:30 * Sacro starts factorising argoneus' keys
16:44:40 *** Celestar has joined #openttd
16:49:07 <argoneus> Sacro: it's only 2048bits
16:49:11 <argoneus> you might be done before you die
16:59:01 *** Alberth has joined #openttd
16:59:01 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alberth
17:05:27 <Sacro> argoneus: 2048 secure bits?
17:09:23 <Sacro> If I told you it wouldn't be secure
17:12:13 <Alberth> you know that security by obscurity doesn't work, right?
17:13:03 <argoneus> Alberth: what is your opinion on changing the ssh port
17:13:10 <argoneus> it stops a lot of bots, doesn't it?
17:13:22 <argoneus> who portscan random ips
17:15:17 <Alberth> they'd just scan anyway, wouldn't they?

18:54:13 <planetmaker> argoneus, different ssh port doesn't stop much
19:10:12 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
19:19:17 <andythenorth> a new industry set
19:19:21 <andythenorth> maybe this won’t be rubbish
19:28:16 <V453000> onwards to yeti 0.2.0 too :P
19:28:24 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
19:38:24 <Alberth> hi andy, V, planetmak3r, and fr0sch
19:38:42 <Alberth> at least you can blame someone else if it's rubbish :)
19:44:55 <andythenorth> nice highlight avoidance :P
19:47:22 <frosch123> leaving is also a type of highlight avoidance :p
19:52:44 *** zeknurn has joined #openttd
20:04:18 <Eddi|zuHause> said the guy who joined, read one line of dialog, said "oh my god" and turned around immediately :p
20:04:46 <frosch123> i think it was an excellent choice

23:00:48 <luaduck> Just checking, are plane crashes default on or off?
23:07:16 <Rejf> luaduck: "on" and crash occurence is set to "normal"
23:07:56 <luaduck> our server was set to off
23:08:00 <luaduck> must have been another op
23:08:18 <Taede> check gamelogs for rcon?
23:08:28 <Taede> if you're bothered enough that is
