20:27:24 <andythenorth> road speed limits patch o_O
20:27:27 *** mari_kir1 has joined #openttd
20:28:05 <planetmaker> I tried to create a trunk binary of those two patches, dynamically linked against my flavour of linux. But meh... that merge is terrible :P#
20:28:26 <planetmaker> not worth buggering just for providing 'a binary'

20:33:17 <Alberth> just terribly ancient :)
20:34:17 * andythenorth is interested in anything to do with RV game balance :P
20:37:13 <Alberth> 15K patch, not too bad
20:38:00 <planetmaker> The IS2 patch is funny: it contains an unresolved merge in one of the project files ;)
20:38:47 <Alberth> and it fails to compile????? how can that happen :p
20:38:50 <andythenorth> RVs have (we all know) some weird issues with balance
20:39:14 <andythenorth> e.g. overtaking, pointlessness of one-way roads, and pointlessness of drive-in stops :)
20:39:40 <andythenorth> it’s kind of distracting when trying to balance a set, because there are lots of pitfalls waiting for the author :D
20:40:00 <andythenorth> like a maze with dead ends :)
20:40:20 <Alberth> it does have an exit?
20:40:27 <andythenorth> Road Hog is playable
20:40:46 <andythenorth> by contrast, trains are so simple :)
20:41:20 <Alberth> trains is a well tested area :)
20:41:54 <andythenorth> and well developed
20:45:44 <Wolf01> this game looks like some of the (O)TT(D) players want: https://www.factorio.com/ day/night cycle, pipelines, trains, "you own the industries", zerg rush
20:46:44 *** Progman has joined #openttd
20:52:16 <frosch123> Wolf01: >= 33% of all people who talked in this channel in the past hour, own it
20:54:21 <V453000> andythenorth: bad reasons
20:54:58 <andythenorth> a new game might be ‘just the thing'
20:55:27 <V453000> I will put it this way: I have not spent a whole night playing non-stop in years, until buying this thing
20:55:29 <Wolf01> instead I'm trying to avoid the pitfalls of having to put more things in my room than there can be
20:55:42 <andythenorth> V453000: that is time I do not have :P
20:56:11 <andythenorth> mostly I want to know, does it show how RVs should be done?
20:56:11 <V453000> k I admit I have none of that anymore either
20:56:19 * V453000 got married 2 days ago :P
20:56:34 <andythenorth> V453000 is a responsible adult now
20:56:35 <V453000> yeah RVs/ TANKs are special :P
20:56:41 <V453000> NO, anything but that :P
20:56:52 <andythenorth> did you have slugz?
20:57:23 <andythenorth> do you have a ring?
20:58:49 <planetmaker> one ring to rule him all, one ring to find him, one ring to brim him all and in the darkness bind him ;)
20:59:37 <andythenorth> I take my ring off a lot
20:59:44 <andythenorth> heavy for typing :P
21:00:03 <V453000> I am decided I will keep it at all times
21:00:20 <frosch123> don't let it grow in :p
21:00:38 <V453000> why not, I will not be able to lose it at that point :P
21:01:38 <Wolf01> oook just finished to pile up the 4 new lego set boxes I just purchased, I can walk in my room again :D
21:01:39 <frosch123> no but really, do you not take it off during sleep?
21:01:52 <andythenorth> V453000: does it have sharp edges?
21:01:53 <planetmaker> my parents never did either
21:02:10 <V453000> not exactly sharp but it is not round either
21:02:38 <andythenorth> when I got married I wouldn’t take it off at first
21:02:51 <andythenorth> until the first time I woke up with ‘wtf, my face is cut’ :P
21:03:03 <V453000> oh, that kind of sharp edges XD
21:03:15 <V453000> wtf do you have, razorring? :D
21:04:18 <andythenorth> heavy pewter, with machined straight sides
21:04:34 <andythenorth> it’s not exactly sharp, but it grazes :P
21:05:15 <andythenorth> also, statistically, this is probably the end of your ottd career ;)
21:06:20 <V453000> well lets see about that
21:06:27 <V453000> on another note, I havent released anything in like 7 months
21:06:46 <frosch123> andythenorth: don't make it the quickest divorce :p
21:07:54 <V453000> I have a lot of things in progress, most importantly new yeti industry, RAWR 0.0.2 and BRIX 0.0.1
21:08:14 <V453000> omfg so much unfinished

21:10:02 <andythenorth> far as I can tell, _most_ of the active contributors don’t also have wife, kids, pets
21:10:41 <andythenorth> V453000 you and me are exceptions
21:10:46 <andythenorth> maybe in several ways :P
21:10:51 <andythenorth> maybe in bad ways :P
21:10:54 <V453000> exceptions confirm the rule :P
21:11:07 <V453000> also, it makes a huge difference if your goal is to learn things, or to create things
21:11:17 <andythenorth> create thing of course
21:11:20 <andythenorth> learning is over-rated
21:11:21 <Wolf01> I don't have even a social life and I didn't contribute with anything for ages
21:11:47 *** Myhorta has joined #openttd
21:13:10 <V453000> but that is the point andy
21:13:28 <V453000> because the NewGRFs from 3D are just a side-effect of my learning process, I continue making them no matter what
21:13:41 <V453000> if I did it only for the output, I would probably have stopped already
21:14:33 <V453000> OpenTTD is great and all but I could not even justify for myself the time spent, if it didnt have a greater purpose of learning 3D shit
21:15:00 <V453000> nyway, got to go, back in the morning ;)
21:16:54 * andythenorth is avoiding TTD stuff again :P
21:17:08 <andythenorth> when ‘fun’ becomes ‘obligation’
21:17:13 <andythenorth> it’s time for a break
21:17:42 *** shirish has joined #openttd
21:18:01 <andythenorth> dunno, something
21:18:19 <andythenorth> the game I just played was a lot of fun
21:22:17 <Alberth> I haven't really found the receipt for that yet
21:22:33 <Alberth> my last game wasn't much fun, it ended way too quickly
21:22:40 <Alberth> perhaps not enough industries
21:23:23 <andythenorth> my map was 256x512
21:23:41 <frosch123> i have a similar problem with factorio :)
21:23:44 <frosch123> the start is too slow
21:23:56 <andythenorth> can’t load that game any more though :(
21:23:57 <frosch123> and i haven't managed to catch V for multiplayer
21:24:01 <frosch123> which looks harder now :p
21:24:09 <andythenorth> we need to play an MP openttd game again :)
21:24:17 <andythenorth> I am curious about MP busy bee
21:24:21 <andythenorth> and whether it is any fun at all
21:24:37 <andythenorth> it was really not intended for MP
21:24:52 <Alberth> it shouldn't be too different, as it prevents double goals?
21:25:10 <andythenorth> wondering about collaborative, but on a large map
21:25:14 <andythenorth> over a period of a couple of weeks maybe
21:25:21 <andythenorth> see how many years we can sustain it
21:25:29 <andythenorth> large = 1024x1024 :P
21:25:58 <andythenorth> I am thoroughly bored of trying to make newgrfs right now
21:26:05 <Alberth> I have been wondering to take one of baldys boss games,and refactor it
21:26:25 <andythenorth> I wonder if we’re all a bit bored of talking about the game + trying to fix it
21:26:31 <andythenorth> discussion here has been muted recently
21:26:38 <andythenorth> but actually it is a lot of fun to play
21:26:42 <frosch123> the old "take over ai, and repair the network" game type?
21:27:02 <andythenorth> “baldy's boss bot”
21:27:05 <Alberth> baldys boss did the former only :)
21:27:20 <andythenorth> buy out all the AIs?
21:27:27 <andythenorth> GS could measure for that
21:27:29 <Alberth> which some very small tweaks to keep alive
21:33:14 <andythenorth> Alberth: I haven’t loaded any of his games
21:33:21 <andythenorth> does he have a hideous newgrf list? o_O
21:35:31 <Alberth> don't have one of his files currently, but I don't think he does
21:35:52 <Alberth> (but then again, I barely have those :) )
