09:53:40 <Supercheese> Hmm, I seem to have left some ancient rolling stock in some depot somewhere, but I cannot find where...
09:54:14 <Supercheese> I don't suppose there's some function to help me locate any non-empty depots?
09:54:28 <Wolf01> mmmh if we had consists you could have tracked it
09:55:06 <Wolf01> __ln__ fix my verbs thx, i'm too sleepy :P
09:56:20 <Supercheese> ah well, not like it's costing me anything
09:57:32 <Wolf01> i got summoned from my bed by a phone call, and the person who called hanged up the phone after 2 seconds :|
09:58:38 <Wolf01> i have the number, i might recall him/her at the 3:00am
09:58:59 <Wolf01> just for the glory of satan
10:03:32 *** Pensacola has joined #openttd
10:18:24 <Supercheese> aaaah bollocks, I autoreplaced wagons and now some trains are too long for their stations
10:18:47 <Wolf01> i hate when that happen too, specially with cabeese
10:21:53 <Supercheese> stations lengthened; problem solved

18:14:56 <Eddi|zuHause> <Supercheese> I don't suppose there's some function to help me locate any non-empty depots? <-- bulldoze the whole map, and all depots which still stand have vehicles in them :p
18:15:58 <Eddi|zuHause> <Supercheese> aaaah bollocks, I autoreplaced wagons and now some trains are too long for their stations <-- there's the wagon removal function for this
18:16:56 *** Progman has joined #openttd
18:17:14 <Alberth> open train overview list, and examine trains with blue numbers
18:18:23 <planetmaker> it won't show left-over wagons though :)
18:25:51 <Dee_> I am having some problems with my dedicated server if anyone is online that can help. :)
18:27:05 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
18:28:55 <Alberth> try asking a question
18:29:00 <planetmaker> Dee_, don't ask to ask. Just ask. Without a problem description no-one can help. And you're asking only for a person who thinks that s/he can solve any problem
18:37:58 <TrueBrain> well, we can ofc start to make funny remarks like: sure we can help; have you tried turning it off and on again
18:49:58 <Dee_> It's not really an error...the problem is when I leave the server running over night all the mines I am tapping dry up and my trains get old. Also I don't unlock new trains even thought the years continue to progress.
19:00:12 <planetmaker> min_active_clients is the variable you want to set
19:01:50 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
19:01:51 <Dee_> oh wow...I list of variables but this one wasn't on it...lol ty :)
19:02:42 <frosch123> "i am a frog person" was no option :/
19:16:17 <Dee_> Hmm if I am not mistaken the "min_active_clients" options will just pause the game when nobody is online. I dont think it will do what I am looking for. I am looking to make it so that mines never run out of resources and so that people either continue to get trains if time is progressing while they are offline OR alternatively companies start with access to all trains.
19:17:17 <frosch123> for the latter: enable "engines never expire" and start in year 3000
19:18:04 <Dee_> awesome :) Ty. lol Now I just have to figure out how to make it so that resources don't expire...lol
19:18:56 <glx> only oilwells expire IIRC
19:19:02 <frosch123> that's the normal case actually, so disable whatever you activated that does that
19:19:08 <glx> and in year 300 there are none :)
19:19:39 <Dee_> err...I went to bed and woke up and all the Iron Mines were tapped out...lol
19:21:39 <Dee_> I had a dedicated train on each of them. lol
19:23:30 <Alberth> one train isn't enough
19:23:59 <Dee_> If I put two trains on it than the other one would just sit there doing nothing while the first one was loading...
19:39:44 <frosch123> blathijs: heffer: release btw :)
19:40:04 <blathijs> frosch123: Noticed it, thanks :-)

20:05:35 <andythenorth> I want to use the probability aspect of CB 22
20:05:56 <andythenorth> probability is relative to all industry types, and I have a crapload of industry types
20:06:03 <andythenorth> and I’m planning to vary probability by date
20:06:09 <andythenorth> so it’s a horribly moving target
20:06:14 <andythenorth> shall I just forget this idea?
20:18:52 <Eddi|zuHause> Dee_: the idea is that one train loads while the other train delivers the previous load
20:22:15 <andythenorth> ugh, I could construct some structure showing all the relative probabilities for any given date :(
20:22:25 <andythenorth> as documentation
20:24:18 <Dee_> @Eddi Well, I find there doesn't seem to be a need for it because by the time the train has unloaded and came back the resource node hasn't produced enough to get another full load. That is why I only had one train on each node. lol
20:24:47 <Dee_> Maybe I should have built my tracks longer?
20:25:03 <Eddi|zuHause> Dee_: well, it didn't produce a full load because the rating dropped too low while nothing was loading
20:25:20 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
20:25:24 <Eddi|zuHause> Dee_: and this low rating also causes your industry to close
20:26:09 <Dee_> Aaaah so it produces more resources while a train is at the station?
20:26:51 <Dee_> So I just need 2 trains for a nearby resource node?
20:32:14 <Eddi|zuHause> well, how many trains you need depends on the distance, the output, and the train length
20:58:55 <glx> but it's good to have always 1 vehicle loading
21:00:24 *** Wormnest_ has joined #openttd
21:18:51 * andythenorth ponders probability
21:21:16 <andythenorth> it seemed like an elegant solution
21:37:33 <Eddi|zuHause> even elegant solutions can be bad
21:38:30 <andythenorth> it seemed to kill two birds with one stone
21:38:57 <andythenorth> 1. rather than setting hard available / not available dates per industry, adjust probability a little more gradually
21:39:12 <andythenorth> 2. allows player funding irrespective of industry availability (which is a goal for v2 FIRS)
21:40:18 <andythenorth> also the code would be easy
21:40:30 <andythenorth> but /me is not smart enough to work out what values to set for probability
21:49:04 <andythenorth> that is important news
21:49:13 <andythenorth> which direction is the wind though?
22:02:41 *** OsteHovel has joined #openttd
22:13:15 <andythenorth> eh, maybe I can just use the probabilty from prop 17 and 18
22:13:26 <andythenorth> and not change by date
22:18:11 *** TartarusMkII has joined #openttd
22:19:32 <TartarusMkII> Guten abend, I'm having an odd issue. I am trying out the very common large road vehicle pack (that adds stuff like horse drawn carriages from 1800's on, etc), and I decided to start the game at 1850 to try them out, and when I try to give orders to the carriages to use typical bus-stops, it says they can't use that station. It says they carry Passengers, and the station is also for passengers, so I'm clueless
22:19:35 <TartarusMkII> does anyone have any idea? =0
22:24:12 <Taede> horse carriages count as articulated vehicles i think
22:24:31 <Taede> if so, they are unable to use dead-end type busstops
22:24:44 <Taede> they can only use the drive-through variant
22:25:03 <TartarusMkII> That explains it!
22:25:28 <TartarusMkII> How goes the thug life, Taede?
22:31:18 *** Hiddenfunstuff has quit IRC
22:36:54 <TartarusMkII> the animations for the horses are adorable, but when they break down they still smoke XD I love it
22:46:05 <TartarusMkII> this error came up- not sure why. I am not using any AI- perhaps one of my mods needs some supplemental AI?..
22:46:14 <TartarusMkII> Anyone familiar? And thanks, I really appreciate the halp
22:50:48 <TartarusMkII> oh nvm I think I may still ahve AI's enabled, but no AIs installed anymore. I hope this wont corrupt my save =v
23:03:58 <Taede> shouldnt, itll just end up an empty company at worst
23:18:31 <TartarusMkII> lol thje carriages are hardly sustainable XD
23:43:20 <Eddi|zuHause> i still always read "gayzoo" on that url...
continue to next day ⏵
