01:00:26 <drac_boy> still trying to read through the specs again as been a long time but quick question nevertheless: is it not difficult to say have a train grf that would disable itself if it didn't see a particular track grf being loaded for example?
01:06:31 <Eddi|zuHause> that seems like a terrible idea, but it's like one line of code to check for a certain GRF-ID
01:07:30 <drac_boy> heh yeah well the train/track was the only example that came to mind now but this was really for something else. thanks btw
01:08:03 <drac_boy> if I was really looking at tracks I probably would had rather coded a check to limit locomotives if the standard tracks were only present :)
01:11:20 * drac_boy still needs to bug friend to tell me the whole scope he's planning on :|
01:22:19 <drac_boy> at least thankfully its not north america - something I don't always like a lot
01:25:14 *** Celestar has joined #openttd
01:52:10 <Eddi|zuHause> why would anyone like north america...
01:52:51 <Eddi|zuHause> they haven't had any good trains since the 1950s
01:55:26 <Supercheese> Yeah we have crap-all for trains in most of the country
01:55:50 <Supercheese> outside of major metropolitan areas and the occasional trunk freight line (there's like, what, two of those?) there's nothing
01:56:10 <drac_boy> heh well actually when playing I do end up with a lot of the BCR electric locomotive (dated 1984) etc .. but hmm yeah good point about usa tho
01:56:36 <Supercheese> I cannot recall the last time I saw a passenger train
01:57:05 <Supercheese> maybe BART back when I visited San Francisco, if that even counts
01:57:18 <Supercheese> it's more of a light rail/metro really
01:58:28 <Eddi|zuHause> i'd imagine BART falls under "major metropolitan area"
01:59:12 <Eddi|zuHause> so you have like 5 of those and the east coast
02:03:34 <Supercheese> the only long-distance passenger rail company is Amtrak... and they're pretty bad
02:03:56 <Supercheese> I'd much sooner drive across the country than take a train
02:05:09 <Supercheese> note the enormous void spaces
02:06:53 <drac_boy> I only see nevada ... what you actually refering to?
02:09:00 <Supercheese> "only nevada" is roughly equivalent to "only Germany"
02:09:45 <drac_boy> you telling me theres supposed to be more than one major urban area in THAT state? :)
02:09:52 <Supercheese> [110,622 sq mi vs 137,847 sq mi]
02:12:25 <Eddi|zuHause> drac_boy: there are more long distance train lines in germany than there are in the entire united states
02:13:13 <drac_boy> mind you theres several major non-amtrak routes that are much more than just urban commuters .. even sleepers too (something which amtrak seem to still not quite want to do in northeast for some reason, weird when you consider that NYC had so many of them)
02:14:07 <drac_boy> oh..about NYC .. they used to have a direct service (or at least their carriages got forwarded) so you could board in ottawa and wake up in washington or even be transfered to miami without even getting off at all
02:14:24 <drac_boy> ah well..gone now, the lines are only for CN/CP if they even exists now
02:14:32 <Eddi|zuHause> and how long ago was that?
02:15:52 <drac_boy> at least ottawa-chicago somewhat still can be done now but you got to actually change trains so .. meh .. strangely it run often so there must be enough demand for that
02:19:12 <drac_boy> sorry someone got here so I'm going have to afk now
02:29:36 <Eddi|zuHause> interacting with real physical people! blasphemy!

15:13:46 <Eddi|zuHause> how to get a cat out of a chair with at little risk for yourself, when asking nicely doesn't work?
15:17:05 <andythenorth> small explosives
15:19:41 <Alberth> just lift it out of the chair
15:21:43 <planetmaker> might be risky :)
15:23:35 <Alberth> as long as #chairs > #cats, you should be fine :)
15:23:37 <Eddi|zuHause> not enough space :p
15:26:56 <Eddi|zuHause> i have a partial solution now, where i sit in the chair and she sits on my lap
15:30:04 <Alberth> depending on the cat, that might work. Some cats don't like being on a lap, on the other hand, humans are nicely warm :)
15:30:53 <Eddi|zuHause> problem with that is that i can't put the keyboard on my lap
15:38:35 <andythenorth> you need a key-cat
15:42:11 <Eddi|zuHause> i have no imagination what that would be
15:49:12 <andythenorth> I can’t find a picture
15:49:17 <andythenorth> V453000 could render one
15:49:24 <andythenorth> it’s a keyboard attached to a cat
15:49:30 <andythenorth> not surgically mind you
15:53:08 <FLHerne> Eddi|zuHause: Get a dog - since dogs are lazier, it'll sit on the chair before the cat can and refuse to budge

16:51:35 <drac_boy> sad dude? heh what kind of dude is that anyway?
16:52:45 <Eddi|zuHause> that worked out great. now i have two cats...
17:07:49 *** Progman has joined #openttd

18:35:51 <argoneus> when will openttd support this?
18:39:47 <Rubidium> never due to the terraforming limits
18:40:37 <argoneus> surely it could be translated to a simple heightmap?
18:50:03 <Alberth> in that case, it's already supported, isn't it?

21:16:00 * andythenorth wonders how much more to do for FIRS 2.0
21:16:05 <andythenorth> and when to just ship the fucker :P
21:18:49 <andythenorth> it’s really hard to get feedback on a v2 release :)
21:18:56 <andythenorth> we can’t play it in MP or anything
