10:22:58 *** Guest792 is now known as openbu
10:32:02 <openbu> Can I join the hg.openttdcoop.org?
10:36:19 <Alberth> or do you want to get a project from the repository?
10:36:57 <V453000> answer is yes Alberth
10:37:22 <Alberth> clearly, to which suggestion is not entirely clear though :)
11:09:13 <planetmaker> openbu, sure. Anyone who wants to contribute to OpenTTD in the broader sense is welcome there
11:11:22 <planetmaker> New registrants cannot yet create a project yet. Thus your first project needs to be approved, but that's more a formality
11:12:20 <planetmaker> (that's additional to creating a personal account)
11:16:09 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
11:21:01 <openbu> thanks to planetmaker,The number of contributors is less.so I want to contribute the openTTD project.
11:24:49 <Alberth> what type? trains, road vehicles, ships, aircraft, landscape, industries?
11:26:09 <openbu> All,,,Baseset,,,industries
11:27:20 <Alberth> :O lots of sprites :)
11:28:53 <Alberth> people seem to switch from a simple newgrf to a 'simple' baseset, nowadays :)
11:31:05 <planetmaker> well :) It usually is a good idea to make both: a series of (simple) NewGRFs. And then to combine those in a base set
11:31:29 <planetmaker> But one really has to make sure the NewGRFs don't get complicated or it will be much more work :)
11:31:42 <planetmaker> No fancy stuff in the NewGRFs... mostly just actionA (simple replacement)
11:39:02 <openbu> I want to contribute to NewGRF,Real-World,Patch.
11:52:57 <Alberth> what is your contribution? It looks like a plain copy of code from here
11:54:24 <Alberth> contributions are always in source code form, never in binary zip files
12:01:07 <qwebirc61183> where can I find the changelog for 1.5.2?
12:01:30 <qwebirc61183> even in the github repo I can't find anything useful when searching for changelog
12:03:04 <TrueBrain> 1.5.2 isnt released (yet); 1.5.2-RC1 is
12:03:46 <qwebirc61183> are there only changelogs for stable releases?
12:07:03 <qwebirc61183> TrueBrain: THANKS a lot! I just didn't see this link to changelog... :/
12:07:37 <TrueBrain> it is also in our repos (changelog.txt), but the github sync of our repos is of trunk only
12:07:42 <TrueBrain> not of our 1.5 branch
12:08:38 <qwebirc61183> so where else can I find your repos?
12:08:51 <TrueBrain> svn://svn.openttd.org/branches/1.5, if my memory serves me right
12:09:52 <TrueBrain> (and mercurial is also available, if you fancy that :P)
12:10:28 <TrueBrain> but I wouldnt recommend a WebDAV entry for anything sane :P
12:10:45 <TrueBrain> I believe we created too many entry points for the same thing :D:D
12:11:04 <qwebirc61183> mercurial? I've never heard of that before :D github and svn is quite common I guess, but mercurial?
12:11:36 <TrueBrain> bitbucket, is a fine example of the github counter part in mercurial
12:16:08 <Alberth> mercurial is a lot like git, but with a sane user interface
12:16:22 <TrueBrain> 'sane' in the eye of the beholder, ofc :D
12:16:32 <TrueBrain> *ignites the flamewar*
12:17:25 <Alberth> hmm, I should collect nice example of git sanity :p
12:17:36 * blathijs really loves git and hates hg, but I agree that hg's ui is more sane :-)
12:17:37 *** qwebirc72391 has joined #openttd
12:17:44 <qwebirc72391> the damn webchat has crashed ...
12:18:19 <qwebirc72391> i should've used a full irc client (even for little questions)
12:18:48 <qwebirc72391> well, why would you need a sane user interface?
12:18:59 <Alberth> usually the length of the answer is more important :)
12:19:05 <TrueBrain> because insane user interfaces are harder to work with :D:D:D
12:19:23 <TrueBrain> just imagine .. an interface where the letters jump around
12:19:27 <TrueBrain> where no button is ever on the same place
12:19:32 <TrueBrain> where the colors play around with you
12:19:53 <Alberth> just random moving elements around is sufficient, I think :)
12:20:01 <qwebirc72391> but I was more like: why would you need an ser interface?
12:20:34 <TrueBrain> well, without it using a computer is so hard
12:20:38 <TrueBrain> you want to talk to it?
12:20:46 <TrueBrain> use morse code to communicate with it?
12:20:49 <Alberth> note that command-line is also a user interface here
12:20:49 <qwebirc72391> sure, you don't?
12:21:23 <Alberth> wait, it speaks morse code??
12:21:34 <Alberth> damn, I should have learned that :)
12:21:53 <Alberth> nah, mine only does 0s and 1s
12:22:13 <TrueBrain> which translates fine to morse, not? :)
12:22:15 <Alberth> maybe I should upgrade
12:22:52 <Alberth> it also has short and long pauses :)
12:23:05 <TrueBrain> we call that -0 and -1
12:23:44 *** randomname has joined #openttd
12:23:47 <randomname> this damn webchat :D
12:24:06 <randomname> now it should be more stable ...
12:24:54 <randomname> Sometimes Deutsche Telekom is a nice provider
12:25:11 <TrueBrain> I am still waiting for my native IPv6 support :(
12:25:17 <TrueBrain> once again they stopped the rollout of it ..
12:25:56 <randomname> where are you from?
12:26:06 <TrueBrain> from my mother; why?
12:27:30 <randomname> I was wondering if you are maybe from Germany, because Germany is usually a pretty bad v6 country
12:27:54 <TrueBrain> every country is bad in IPv6
12:28:08 <TrueBrain> at least datacenters have their shit together relative well the last few months
12:28:12 <TrueBrain> most offer it natively now
12:28:21 <TrueBrain> ISPs are slowly following ... but slowly
12:28:49 <TrueBrain> at least everyone understand it is needed, no longer optional :)
12:28:54 <Alberth> don't want to disturb XP users :p
12:29:32 <randomname> wait, XP doesn't support v6? :D
12:29:52 <randomname> shit, I have to update in like 5 years :D
12:30:38 <randomname> I think as an ISP you can't buy any new v4 ranges, can you?
12:31:30 <Flygon> My ISP supports IPv6 very well
12:31:36 <Flygon> My Modem is stuck in 1997 >_>
12:31:52 <Flygon> Doesn't even support WPA2-Enterprise to prevent Windows 10 shenanigans :(
12:31:58 <Flygon> 1997 was an exaeration
12:32:16 <Flygon> Best I got is WPA2 Wireless N
12:32:18 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
12:34:31 <randomname> What's the advantage of WPA2-Enterprise over common WPA2?
12:35:36 <blathijs> randomname: You don't normally buy IP ranges at all, they just get assigned freely to members of the regional registries (RIPE / ARIN / etc.). However, now that ipv4 is nearly gone, there will be a waiting list soon.
12:36:00 <blathijs> It does sometimes happen that companies sell ipv4 space the are no longer using among each other
12:37:25 <randomname> blathijs: thanks, didn't know that. I just read things like "the very last v4 range sold" from time to time
12:39:12 <blathijs> randomname: There is a global registry, IANA, which assigns ranges (in blocks of 2^24 addresses) to local registries (roughly by continent). IANA has assigned all of its blocks IIRC, but the regional registries still have some space left from their last assigned block
12:43:51 <blathijs> randomname: Everyone one of those squares is a 2^24 block I mentioned
13:01:28 <randomname> do you have any influence on the repos of ubuntu? 1.5.0 is their version right now
13:03:48 <blathijs> Seems Ubuntu has 1.5.1, at least in the latest Ubuntu version?
13:04:29 <blathijs> (I'm the Debian maintainer for OpenTTD, so the packages I upload to Debian typically get synced automatically to Ubuntu, so I don't have a direct influence on this)
13:09:59 <randomname> blathijs: for me, it's 1.5.0-1~getdeb1 (utopic-getdeb)
13:10:23 <randomname> but maybe, I just need to change my package sources
13:13:02 *** Flygon_ has joined #openttd

13:45:18 *** CCHyper has joined #openttd
13:45:55 <CCHyper> Good Afternoon, is was wondering if there are any developers active at the moment?
13:47:45 <Xaroth|Work> there are developers active all the time
13:47:52 <Xaroth|Work> but you'd have to be a bit more specific than that :P
13:49:22 <blathijs> randomname: Seems you have it installed from "getdeb", which I think is a non-official repository. Not sure who maintains that. The official utopic repo only has up to 1.4.1, so you can either upgrade your Ubuntu, just pick up the openttd packages from the latest ubuntu, or get a .deb file from openttd.org
13:49:51 <Xaroth|Work> ^ that last bit will most likely work best
13:50:20 <CCHyper> hah, i'm mainly after the initial creator or the developer that has the most overall decision? I have some questions as I have a very similar project in development for another game.
13:50:57 <CCHyper> Xaroth|Work: apolagies, im multitasking while at work and hiding from the boss lol
13:51:11 <Xaroth|Work> CCHyper: as my name suggests, so am i :)
13:53:06 <Alberth> not sure if there is one, and/or he is still around
13:53:22 <randomname> blathijs: I'm using the .deb file from openttd.org right now, but it's not the easiest way I guess :) I'm just checking my package sources
13:53:31 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
13:53:55 <openbu> I'm available all the time.:)
13:54:11 <CCHyper> mkay, basicly, what is the legal stand point of OpenTTD. As far as i know, its a 1:1 clone of the assembly?
13:54:20 <blathijs> randomname: It's the easiest way to always have the latest version, I guess (since those packages are automatically built on a release, all repositories need some manual work)
13:56:47 <Alberth> well, your guess is as good as mine, I think
13:58:30 <CCHyper> Alberth: I can't mention the name, but its a well known franchise. the project has been going for 5+ years behind doors and I need to understand what legal issues similar projects have encountered
14:00:12 *** Nathan1852__ has joined #openttd
14:00:32 <__ln__> obviously OpenTTD is in the legally gray area, but has afaik avoided issues because the copyright holder isn't actively pursuing their rights.
14:01:07 <openbu> I'm doing open capitalismlab,based upon openTTD....:)
14:01:14 <__ln__> not even gray, some parts are definitely copyright violations
14:01:28 <CCHyper> what parts in specific?
14:01:30 <TrueBrain> they are? *makes notes, this might be important*
14:01:31 <blathijs> CCHyper: AFAIK the origins of OpenTTD are a bit shady. The original creator (ludde) has left the project long ago, but I believe some kind of disassembling/reimplementation has happened.
14:02:09 <blathijs> CCHyper: However, we've attempted to get permission to use the artwork, but nobody really knows who owns the rights
14:02:32 <blathijs> CCHyper: So in practice, no actual legal *issues* have been encountered AFAIK
14:02:35 <CCHyper> TrueBrain: ...not the OpenDUNE guy are you?
14:02:47 <TrueBrain> *hides behind a rock or something*
14:02:56 <CCHyper> no f* way, long time no see!
14:03:09 <blathijs> CCHyper: I was just about to suggest OpenDUNE, since I think they've actually started out from assembly and slowly replaced all of that by C AFAIK
14:03:19 <Xaroth|Work> CCHyper: so you remember him, but not me? pffffffffff
14:03:32 *** smoke_fumus has joined #openttd
14:03:51 <Xaroth|Work> TrueBrain has always been a bell-boy, yes
14:04:05 <CCHyper> TrueBrain: dont remember me?
14:04:19 <TrueBrain> sorry, which channel was this again?
14:04:47 <Alberth> #open<something> ? :)
14:04:56 <CCHyper> OpenDUNE forums, along with Nyerguds. no?
14:05:09 <Xaroth|Work> CCHyper: his brain is worse than a sieve
14:05:31 <Alberth> perhaps the true one?
14:05:32 <CCHyper> one between the legs?
14:05:43 <Xaroth|Work> that one's too small to be of any use
14:05:45 * Xaroth|Work runs for the hills
14:05:47 <TrueBrain> awesome, my brain can grow and shrink in minutes
14:06:03 <TrueBrain> *well, this conversation took a turn for the worst*
14:06:19 <Xaroth|Work> it was destined to fail anyhow
14:06:41 <TrueBrain> I am sorry CCHyper, I am in no mood to have a normal conversation with :P
14:07:38 <Xaroth|Work> Alberth: you going to take that shot for open goal or shall I?
14:07:40 <CCHyper> well this is quite important, can i drop you a PM?
14:08:13 <TrueBrain> not much I can be of any help regarding legal stuff
14:08:26 <CCHyper> what was the satus with OpenDUNE?
14:08:30 <TrueBrain> I guess you can just better ask what you want to ask here, in the hope someone can answer
14:08:56 <TrueBrain> for OpenDUNE I did my atmost to contact the legal owner of Dune2, asking permission for the work
14:09:10 <TrueBrain> as that person turned out to be unfindable (all legal channels ended up with: we do not hold the legal right blablabla)
14:09:31 <TrueBrain> I always said: when ever someone makes the claim we are not allowed to do it, we pull down the code immediatly
14:09:47 <TrueBrain> as no profit is gained in any way what-so-ever, I doubt someone will mind or give a fuzz about a game from 1995
14:10:17 <TrueBrain> legally, I have the proof I did my atmost to get permission, so legally I cannot be held financial resposible; I just would have to pull the project down
14:10:21 <TrueBrain> (which of course is no issue)
14:10:21 <Alberth> keeping a safe distance from the official title is important imho
14:10:59 <TrueBrain> Alberth: that, and not hiding the nature of the project
14:11:40 <randomname> official title is this distance safe enough?
14:12:04 <Alberth> you may want to check the license of the game too, some explicitly forbid reverse engineering
14:12:33 <TrueBrain> most country laws even disallow it these days :)
14:12:36 <Xaroth|Work> and in most cases, you'll first get a C&D
14:12:49 <CCHyper> well OpenRA has not had such iirc
14:15:29 <TrueBrain> mainly, from what I have noticed, companies only start to care if you are eating away from their profit (and they are right at minding at that point)
14:16:25 <CCHyper> yea, this is true and i understand it
14:16:54 <CCHyper> and becuase of that, i dont want any link with people making donations if we go public
14:17:00 <CCHyper> people suggested it, but i have been agaisnt it
14:17:26 <TrueBrain> and I guess it is important to remember you can never reach the state: legal, when a game is reversed engineered; at best it stays: grey
14:17:42 <TrueBrain> (or of course the legal owner says it is legal :P)
14:18:09 <Xaroth|Work> but no legal owner in their right mind would ever do that :P
14:18:35 <TrueBrain> it is in their best interest to keep it grey, yes :)
14:18:51 <TrueBrain> or they most really loooovvveeeee you :)
14:18:56 <CCHyper> are there cases where games companies have completly chewed up a project?
14:19:23 <Alberth> it's easy, just threaten with a lawyer, and you're done, basically
14:21:12 <Eddi|zuHause> <Alberth> you may want to check the license of the game too, some explicitly forbid reverse engineering <-- german copyright says such license terms are void
14:21:37 *** randomname has joined #openttd
14:21:52 <Alberth> not everybody lives in gernmany, you know ;)
14:22:58 <CCHyper> so im safe if i move to germany?
14:23:08 <TrueBrain> kinda the oposite :P
14:23:51 <TrueBrain> EU law disallows reverse enginering outside of fair-use
14:24:04 <TrueBrain> I am sure Germany topped that, and made it even worse :)
14:24:44 <Eddi|zuHause> germany doesn't deal in "fair use". basically, german law knows two kinds of reverse engineering
14:24:55 <randomname> but isn't a project like this fair-use?
14:25:04 <TrueBrain> in EU, you can reverse engineer, say, a library, to understand how it communicates, and implement your own
14:25:15 <Eddi|zuHause> the first kind is non-invasive (running the program and prodding it from all sides you could as a normal user), whose results are freely usable
14:25:24 <TrueBrain> you cannot distribute the reversed engineered code of such library ;)
14:25:45 <Eddi|zuHause> and invasive (decompiling/disassembling), whose results you can only use for "bug fixes", and not use to release a similar product
14:26:25 <TrueBrain> US law is similar btw
14:26:33 <Eddi|zuHause> that latter kind you are free to distribute to anyone who has a license for the original program
14:27:17 <CCHyper> what about the open Theme Hospital project, anyone eknow aobut that?
14:27:25 <randomname> wow, that's worse than expected (for me)...
14:27:41 <Alberth> corsix-th rewrites from scratch
14:27:53 <Xaroth|Work> that's a reimplementation, not a reverse engineering project
14:28:08 *** supermop has joined #openttd
14:28:17 <Xaroth|Work> however, they are still in the same grey area for using the original graphics/sounds/data
14:28:30 <randomname> openttd was (partly) reverse engineered?
14:28:50 <Alberth> they don't distribute the graphics/etc, people have to buy their own copy
14:28:57 <Alberth> which is just a few dollar
14:29:30 <Eddi|zuHause> randomname: we don't really know what ludde did. he claimed whatever he did was covered by swedish copyright law at the time. any of us rely on the GPL for legality of the project after that
14:30:13 <randomname> Eddi|zuHause: and nobody ever came to sue you?
14:30:14 <TrueBrain> sweden was one of the last countries which disallowed reverse engineering (outside of the fiar use)
14:30:24 <Eddi|zuHause> randomname: no, otherwise we'd probably be gone
14:31:39 <randomname> i didn't imagine it's such a legal grey area to rewrite such an old game
14:32:07 <TrueBrain> isnt it common sense?
14:32:21 <TrueBrain> someone made something, worked hard for it, tried to sell it
14:32:21 <Alberth> copyright expiration takes a long time :)
14:33:04 <TrueBrain> I guess the term "old game" is at issue here :P
14:33:14 <TrueBrain> lately we have seen a lot of 8bit games doing very well on stuff like Steam
14:33:19 <TrueBrain> "old" became a relative term :)
14:33:23 <blathijs> Copyright experation terms were made with books in mind, not games :-)
14:33:24 <Xaroth|Work> author's life + 70 years is going to suck quite a bit, yeah
14:33:26 <randomname> if i was the owner of transport tycoon, who doesnt sell any copies today (i guess) i wouldn't mind
14:33:42 <TrueBrain> not minding doesn't make it legal :)
14:33:50 <Eddi|zuHause> blathijs: no, copyright expiration terms were made with disney movies in mind
14:34:05 <__ln__> and not selling any copies right now doesn't mean not selling any copies in the future.
14:34:06 <randomname> TrueBrain: I would officially tell you I don't mind
14:34:10 <Alberth> randomname: you would, as the franchise becomes worthless if you allow it
14:34:17 <Eddi|zuHause> before disney, it was something like "release date + 20 years"
14:34:18 <Xaroth|Work> randomname: On 15 July 2013, Chris Sawyer's 31X Ltd and Origin8 Technologies announced that they were working on a mobile version of Transport Tycoon.
14:34:20 <TrueBrain> randomname: I think your lawyer would advise against it :)
14:34:32 <__ln__> 8-bit NES games are sold today in Wii store
14:34:45 <__ln__> 8-bit old games from the 80s
14:35:11 <TrueBrain> and of course it is something to be proud at, as writing of a game, that 20 years later, 131 people in an IRC channel are still keeping the game alive
14:35:16 <randomname> well, I guess my world view on copyright is still too simple (and too naive) :D
14:35:49 <TrueBrain> I mean .. you can't do it much better than that in my opinion :)
14:36:24 <TrueBrain> but ... law and personal feelings are 2 worlds apart :)
14:36:28 <randomname> yeah, but if they would have sued you, prbably 0 ppl would mind today
14:36:52 *** supermop has joined #openttd
14:37:00 <Alberth> some would, but not much you can do
14:37:19 <Alberth> unless you have some $$ at the bank with lots of zeroes
14:37:30 <randomname> like 0000000000$ ?
14:37:31 <Xaroth|Work> minding and protecting your intellectual property are two different things, randomname
14:37:33 <blathijs> Eddi|zuHause: Really? Never knew that :-)
14:38:39 <randomname> Xaroth_: yeah, sad, but true
14:38:40 <CCHyper> this is interesting, so as a collective of minds, how do you think i should proceed?
14:39:00 <Eddi|zuHause> blathijs: the irony of the situation is that disney built his empire on works where copyright was expired, and they now deny this to artists around the world
14:39:03 <TrueBrain> wire me 1,000,000 EUR, of course
14:39:09 <TrueBrain> but that is unrelated to this conversation
14:40:55 <randomname> ...so copytights of games expire 70 years after the author's death? so maybe 100+ years after release
14:41:31 <randomname> i wonder if it will be possible to even play the games after such a long time
14:41:40 <Eddi|zuHause> randomname: most computer program authors are quite young, so 100 years is probably not enough
14:41:46 <randomname> mouse? keyboard? lolwat
14:42:00 <TrueBrain> randomname: [14:33] <blathijs> Copyright experation terms were made with books in mind, not games :-)
14:42:02 <Alberth> playability is not needed for copyright
14:43:24 <randomname> Eddi|zuHause: do you know why they changed it from 20 years to 70 years after death?
14:44:31 <Eddi|zuHause> randomname: basically, every time copyright was about to run out they launched a campaign "we need to earn money or the creative industry dies", and copyright was extended
14:45:14 <randomname> Eddi|zuHause: and maybe some of this money went into some politician's pocket
14:45:25 <Eddi|zuHause> quite a lot of it, i assume.
14:45:36 <Xaroth|Work> most definitely and boatloads
14:45:38 <TrueBrain> Lobiest is a job .. ;)
14:45:43 <Eddi|zuHause> that's just how it works...
14:46:44 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't know any political system that could even begin to resolve that
14:46:50 *** supermop has joined #openttd
14:47:18 <Eddi|zuHause> even a completely direct democracy has people in key positions that influence a lot of people
14:47:58 *** Hiddenfunstuff has joined #openttd
14:47:59 <randomname> you mean like the media?
14:50:11 <Xaroth|Work> < Eddi|zuHause> even a completely direct democracy has people in key positions that influence a lot of people << that also has a bit to do with the fact that most people are idiots :P
14:50:44 <TrueBrain> he, who are you calling an idiot?!
14:50:58 <Xaroth|Work> that dude behind you
14:51:08 <Eddi|zuHause> sure. but there's no way to change that. the 80-20 rule applies independent from the average education level
14:51:14 <TrueBrain> *thought he was home alone*
14:51:26 <Xaroth|Work> DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
14:51:52 <Eddi|zuHause> *switch to commercials*
14:52:18 <TrueBrain> end of season final :)
14:52:40 *** supermop has joined #openttd
14:52:48 <randomname> TrueBrain: of what?
14:53:02 <Xaroth|Work> Two and a half OpenTTD Devs.
14:53:50 <Eddi|zuHause> i know who the half one is, but where do you find the other two?
14:54:17 *** supermop has joined #openttd
14:54:57 <randomname> they're Kirby and Paul
15:02:25 <Eddi|zuHause> randomname: the vehicles are usually named after people involved with the original transport tycoon development/testing
15:03:29 <Eddi|zuHause> in the first version, they had real names, but it was changed later for some reason
15:04:00 <blathijs> Trademark issues? ;-)
15:04:52 <Eddi|zuHause> i think it was some preemptive move to avoid such issues
15:09:26 *** randomname has joined #openttd
15:10:15 <randomname> :D so my guess wasn't too bad
15:16:15 <supermop> decent amount of chat going on in here for a summer day
15:16:37 <randomname> it's too hot outside
15:16:51 <__ln__> real vehicle names often are names of people involved with creating them
15:19:12 <CCHyper> Alberth: TrueBrain Xaroth|Work thanks for the insight, ill see how it plays out when we get there :)
15:19:36 <V453000> I figured I didnt have business paypal account :D but all got sorted out in the end
15:19:41 <TrueBrain> CCHyper: good luck :)
15:20:08 <V453000> holyshititisaTrueBrain
15:20:14 <V453000> is like seeing a unicorn
15:20:36 <TrueBrain> but ..... unicorns don't exist; ergo, I do not exist
15:20:44 <TrueBrain> *disolves in a cloud of logic*
15:20:57 <V453000> omg not the logic cloud
15:24:32 <randomname> TrueBrain: new mission: refuse this mission
15:26:33 <Alberth> cloud will take care of any logical mistakes
15:27:00 <V453000> that is what the dutch say
15:30:35 <Alberth> we stop water in liquid form, under high wind conditions, you think that a floating collection of droplets scares us? :)
15:31:35 <V453000> I meant it in a different way, cloud as in a weed cloud :P
15:37:27 <Alberth> oh sure, right after I went to the red light district on my wooden shoes, and buying some tulips
15:39:27 <planetmaker> he'll come chase you on a wave of beer ;)
15:40:03 <Alberth> don't think he'll like Heineken much :)
15:40:25 <planetmaker> it has to carry him from CZ to NL. So it'll likely be Pilzen beer or such ;)
15:40:39 <planetmaker> (and yes, that's better than Heineken :P )
16:20:44 <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: you forgot the caravan.
16:22:29 <Alberth> I should really follow some "typical Dutch" classes ;)
16:27:25 <V453000> but yeah grab a caravan and bring it! :P
17:10:25 <supermop> any pilsner is better than heineken
17:10:36 <supermop> unless its bud light
17:11:29 <supermop> any real pils from cz is out of sight of heineken
17:12:53 <planetmaker> pilzener is from CZ ;)
17:14:33 <Eddi|zuHause> czech budweiser and american budweiser don't even play in the same league :p
17:14:42 <__ln__> by a strange coincidence, there's a city called Pilsen in cz
17:15:02 <Eddi|zuHause> __ln__: i don't think it's a coincidence at all :p
17:15:04 <supermop> i don't think that is a coincidence
17:15:22 <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: i actually do not care for budvar
17:15:30 <planetmaker> I don't think __ln__ didn't use irony
17:15:34 <__ln__> well me neither, as i've visited it and the beer museum there.
17:15:42 <supermop> also as bad as budweiser is, it is much much better than bud light
17:15:43 <Eddi|zuHause> there's also a city called budweis in cz :)
17:16:41 <supermop> the us has amazing small craft beers, but the main breweries are still amongst the most disappointing in the world
17:16:41 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think i ever had an american beer at all.
17:16:57 <supermop> you are missing out eddi, I will shi you some
17:17:23 <Eddi|zuHause> good beers are either local or from cz.
17:17:58 <Eddi|zuHause> there are also bad local beers, tbh ;)
17:18:18 <supermop> i'll ship you some good ales, or take you on a tour if you ever visit nyc
17:19:24 <supermop> offer stands for any of you germans here
17:20:26 <Eddi|zuHause> if you pay for the flight ;)
17:20:54 <supermop> ok ill bring some in my luggage next time im in germany
17:21:44 <Eddi|zuHause> last time i was in NYC, i wasn't old enough to drink (by american standards), and beer was crazy expensive
17:22:35 <Eddi|zuHause> like you got one bottle for the price that a whole crate costs here
17:23:18 <supermop> not going to convince Eddi|zuHause i guess
17:23:37 <supermop> how about planetmaker ? you want to come try american craft ales?
17:24:20 <Eddi|zuHause> there is no real point in "convincing" anybody :p
17:24:28 <supermop> or any of the niederlanders?
17:25:18 <supermop> not sure when we will next be in germany actually
17:25:24 <supermop> may be a few years off
17:25:59 <supermop> next europe trip will be oslo $$$$

18:43:20 <Merlione> hello, I have a problem, and I wonder if someone can help me
18:43:43 <Alberth> ask a question and find out
18:44:12 <Merlione> I'm trying to turn on the autoreplace option, to autoreplace my vehicles
18:44:27 <Merlione> however, it doesn't show up in the settings list, not on expert, or advanced
18:44:40 <Merlione> my OpenTTD version is 1.5.1
18:44:51 <Merlione> I don't have anything installed
18:45:08 <Alberth> 'trains' from the menu bar
18:45:14 <Alberth> with all the trains that you have
18:45:33 <Alberth> at the bottom right is a drop-down -> replace vehicles
18:45:39 *** roidal_ has joined #openttd
18:45:41 <Merlione> yeah, but i want to autoreplace old ones as well
18:46:09 <Alberth> so what is autoreplace for you?
18:46:12 <Merlione> just replaces with a newer vehicle type if available
18:46:28 <Merlione> well, replacing a vehicle that is old with the same model?
18:46:33 <Alberth> yes that's the dropdown
18:47:07 <Alberth> different model -> replace, same model -> renew
18:47:16 <Alberth> latter is in the settings
18:47:31 <Merlione> as i explained, the setting doesn't show up
18:47:57 <Merlione> ingame, when I manually set it to true in the .cfg file, it just turns back to false
18:48:21 <Alberth> you were talking replace then, which means something else :) let me check
18:48:36 <Merlione> yeah sorry Im new to this game ^^
18:48:56 <Merlione> and I have set the settings to advanced or expert, and it still doesn't show
18:49:32 <Alberth> type "renew" in the search box
18:50:19 <Merlione> I thought it would be at vehicles.....
18:50:21 <Alberth> with replace, it won't find anything, as that's not in the settings (due to hysteric reasons)
18:50:39 <Alberth> yeah, we have lots of history :)
18:51:00 <Alberth> feel free to submit a patch with an improvement
18:51:13 <Merlione> thats what a wiki told me, but probably that was a different version?
18:51:50 <Alberth> it didn't move for a long time
18:53:13 <Alberth> also, maybe you looked for "replace" there as well instead of "renew" ?
18:53:34 <Alberth> in that case, you'd be send in the wrong direction, just like happened here
18:54:56 <Alberth> oh, a different group
18:55:09 <Alberth> yes, stuff moved a bit, wiki needs updating
18:55:41 <Merlione> hehe,w ell, you, sir, saved my company from a small disaster ;)
18:56:09 <Alberth> ok, bill is in the mail, your company can spare a few dimes right? :)
18:57:42 <Merlione> haha! yes, our advisors are well paid
