09:50:57 <andythenorth> cdist should be renamed Cargo Flow
09:51:02 <andythenorth> it’s more accurate
09:51:44 <andythenorth> and (maybe this exists), I want an option to set demand ratio to 1/(number destination nodes)
09:52:50 <andythenorth> I don’t know whether that would work well for routing at intermediate nodes
09:53:09 <andythenorth> but for source nodes, for freight cargos at least, it would make the most sense to me
09:56:38 <Alberth> disable distance influence?
09:56:57 <andythenorth> if I was a better programmer I would be able to solve this for myself
09:57:17 <andythenorth> but I have been programming for 32 of 37 years, and I only got marginally better in that time :P
09:58:04 <Alberth> too busy doing other things as well :)
09:58:29 <andythenorth> nah, I just miss some essential part of my brain that makes the difference between ‘good’ and ‘passable'
09:59:23 <Alberth> the latter only exists for me due to time constraints
09:59:40 <Alberth> or other bigger fish that needs to be fried first
10:01:05 <Supercheese> ugh I hate people who post mods that look cool based on the sreenshots but don't have a damn readme.txt to explain exactly what the mod does
10:01:40 <Supercheese> seriously, take the time to explain what the devil you've done, users like that
10:02:07 <Supercheese> but also applies to other games
10:02:28 <andythenorth> rename this channel
10:02:34 <Supercheese> they've banned mods without licenses, but they should also ban mods without readmes
10:02:40 <andythenorth> #formerlyOpenTTDnowFactorio
10:03:54 <Supercheese> "description": "Various Things, related to Energy, Transformations"
10:04:04 <Supercheese> worst description ever
10:04:19 <Alberth> nah, I can invent worse ones :p
10:04:41 <Supercheese> the graphics are gorgeous though, it's sad
10:04:54 <andythenorth> the goal I have in mind is entailed by “if I went to the planned view on a station, all destinations have same amount planned”
10:05:25 <Alberth> really? even if your lines are unbalanced wrt capacity?
10:07:48 <Supercheese> Ho, FIRS 2 has shown up in the screenshots forum already
10:07:58 <Supercheese> people are quick to update it seems
10:08:37 <andythenorth> if I can find the right place in the lingraph or station_cmd.cpp I can patch this
10:08:44 <andythenorth> but there are so many places capacity is considered
10:15:40 <andythenorth> where’s the guard in cdist against positive feedback loop?
10:15:47 * andythenorth knows it must be there, but can’t see it
10:16:34 <andythenorth> add more vehicles -> edge capacity is increased -> flow ratio to that edge increased -> more cargo waiting -> add more vehicles
10:17:11 * andythenorth must to the park with children
11:14:35 <Alberth> just in time for some coffee
11:19:49 <TrueBrain> right; morning indeed :)
11:19:57 <TrueBrain> and the moving of VMs continue ... *is already tired of it* :P

12:47:02 <Alberth> oh, it's a different window
12:47:15 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
12:47:45 <Alberth> so likely, it needs the same kind of changes as the normal in-game toolbar
12:47:54 <frosch123> i am not sure whether fs#6372 is the same, when there is an assertion our tool gives no useful backtrace
13:10:58 <TrueBrain> Binaries on openttd.org will be unavailable for ~5 minutes
13:16:19 <frosch123> i wonder when we finally rename IMGBTN and TEXTBTN to TOGGLExxxBTN
13:16:34 <TrueBrain> I feel a patch coming up? :P
13:18:34 <TrueBrain> ugh, filecheck kicked in .. this will take a bit more time :D
13:23:45 <TrueBrain> okay, alive and kicking again

13:44:51 <wito> Good morning, fellers, I'm having an odd problem and was wondering if someone could help me out?
13:45:03 <wito> Is anyone familiar with font settings on Mac OS X?
13:49:39 <wito> I set small_font, and everything is groovy, but I set medium_font, and all the fonts are replaced with some other font, at all sizes.
13:55:15 <TrueBrain> MySQL server will go down for a few minutes; expect issues on all services
14:00:47 <Alberth> you also set fontsize?
14:00:57 <Alberth> no mac here, but iirc that was required too
14:02:07 <wito> Getting this: dbg: [freetype] CT-Font for en_US: American Typewriter
14:02:32 <wito> American Typewriter is the wrong font, also, the first font alphabetically, so I assume that's why it's selected.
14:03:06 <Alberth> so it may no be able to find your font?
14:03:10 <TrueBrain> MySQL is back up; it will take several minutes before all services notice it is :)
14:03:18 <wito> Finds it fine for small_font
14:03:35 <Alberth> added quotes around the font-name for the spaces?
14:03:48 <wito> No spaces in the font name.
14:03:56 <wito> dbg: [freetype] Requested 'Osaka', using 'Osaka Regular'
14:03:57 <Alberth> small_font is not much used
14:04:24 <Alberth> requested font exists in requested point size?
14:04:55 <DorpsGek> Commit by alberth :: r27397 trunk/src/terraform_gui.cpp (2015-09-13 14:04:47 +0200 )
14:04:56 <DorpsGek> -Fix(r27346)[FS#6370]: Fix object editing crash in scenario editor (based on work by adf88)
14:05:33 <wito> It is 12, so it should, but I can check
14:05:57 <Alberth> try the small font settings?
14:06:05 <Alberth> that should work at least
14:06:31 <Alberth> tbh no idea what's wrong, mostly just tossing ideas
14:06:47 <Alberth> frosch123: close #6372 too?
14:07:55 <frosch123> did the bug trigger that assetions? i did not check
14:08:11 <Alberth> hmm, assertion looks wrong nwid != NULL
14:09:16 <Eddi|zuHause> it's the point of an assertion to look wrong?
14:09:21 <wito> Okay, so setting the small font works, setting the large works.
14:09:36 <wito> But I set the medium, and everything falls back to American Typewriter.
14:10:23 <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: it's wrong in the sense it's not one I expected :p
14:10:30 <Eddi|zuHause> wito: the question was whether it works if you set medium font size to the same as the small font size
14:11:52 <wito> Nope. If I set the medium font size to the same as the small and set the font, it falls back.
14:12:24 <wito> If I don't set the medium font, it uses the default default font.
14:13:26 <Alberth> typo? try searching for the font, it should hit at both places
14:13:43 <Alberth> case sensitive search :)
14:14:03 <wito> Search what for the font?
14:14:15 <Alberth> search the font name in the file
14:14:27 <Alberth> if you spelled it exactly the same, you get 2 hits
14:14:43 <Alberth> if you typoed, you get less then 2 hits
14:15:05 * andythenorth ponders a water mill in FIRS
14:15:09 <wito> The font name is spelled correctly.
14:15:23 <Alberth> do you use other fonts, andy?
14:15:24 <wito> It's copy-pasted, so would have to be.
14:15:36 <andythenorth> I only use the original TTD base set
14:15:44 <andythenorth> anything else looks wrong to me
14:16:00 <andythenorth> I didn’t know fonts could be changed :)
14:17:01 <Alberth> well, theoretically, it should be possible. Reality however seems to disagree currently :)
14:18:10 <wito> I'm going to have to dig into the source.
14:18:10 <Alberth> wito: tried setting only the normal font? maybe it breaks on having several different sizes at the same time
14:18:25 <wito> What's the command for checking out the SVN?
14:18:26 <Alberth> which would be weird too
14:18:33 <andythenorth> wito: use the git checkout
14:18:57 <andythenorth> or you can dig through the src tree online
14:19:07 <andythenorth> you want trunk.git usually
14:27:31 <wito> I think the problem might be in MissingGlyphSearcher::FindMissingGlyphs, but I'm not sure.
14:38:17 <andythenorth> hazard of playing OpenTTD: I see things I want to change :|
14:44:55 <TrueBrain> FlySpray (bug-tracker) will be unavailable for a few minutes
14:47:58 <Xaroth|Work> the server is down!
14:48:10 <TrueBrain> @kick Xaroth|Work sod off
14:48:10 *** Xaroth|Work was kicked by DorpsGek (sod off)
14:48:23 *** Xaroth|Work has joined #openttd
14:48:38 <TrueBrain> FlySpray is back on its feet
14:49:06 <wito> Turns out Osaka actually was missing glyphs.
14:57:51 <wito> Where is the mono font used?
14:57:55 <TrueBrain> and ... the wiki will be out playing for a bit
14:58:04 <Alberth> wito: probably the readme
14:59:45 <andythenorth> ctrl-drag a train to the groups panel in the train list
14:59:55 <andythenorth> that’s a lot better than the alternative
15:01:47 <TrueBrain> and welcome back wiki
15:02:37 * andythenorth wonders about scaling station rating by era
15:02:52 <andythenorth> to account for slow vehicles
15:05:35 *** oskari89 has joined #openttd
15:07:44 *** supermop has joined #openttd
15:11:01 <TrueBrain> almost done: all VCSes we host will be unreachable for ~5 minutes
15:14:32 <supermop> sounds like real work is going on
15:19:08 <wito> Out of interest, what happened to random seeds in generating maps for single player?
15:19:10 <TrueBrain> and all VCSes are back on their feet too
15:19:19 <TrueBrain> the auto-boot didnt work on that machine, interesting ..
15:22:00 <frosch123> wito: it was made console-only
15:22:31 <wito> Well, I was more thinking 'why?'
15:23:23 <frosch123> because noone knows a valid usecase
15:26:05 <TrueBrain> all HTTP connections will be aborted and HTTP will be unavailable for ~10 minutes to openttd.org (for all services)
15:28:20 <andythenorth> how can I make the station building UI panel always open on left of screen, not center?
15:29:26 <andythenorth> because it fills the screen centered, it always obscures the map area where I’m trying to build
15:29:50 <TrueBrain> turn your screen 90 degrees; it will drop down to the left of your screen that way :D
15:30:51 <andythenorth> all that happened is everything went weird and hard to read
15:31:07 <andythenorth> like, the writing went vertically
15:31:11 <andythenorth> is that expected?
15:31:17 <TrueBrain> your screen is broken!
15:31:33 <wito> You could try setting the rotation settings as well.
15:31:38 <wito> Set the screen to vertical.
15:32:02 <wito> I don't know how well OpenTTD would actually work at 1080x1920, but it's worth a shot.
15:32:12 <andythenorth> I don’t have that setting :P
15:32:14 <TrueBrain> as well as it works at 1920x1080 :)
15:32:59 <andythenorth> hmm, where are vehicle physics, or what should I search for?
15:33:08 * andythenorth thinks RVs have broken physics somehow
15:33:48 <TrueBrain> all HTTP should be restored now
15:33:53 <TrueBrain> only 7 minutes, dammit
15:33:56 <TrueBrain> I had 3 more minutes
15:34:33 <TrueBrain> I will have to do the same for all TCP/IP connections later today, but lets first take a break :)
15:34:45 <DorpsGek> andythenorth: Terkhen was last seen in #openttd 1 week, 1 day, 21 hours, 57 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <Terkhen> hello
15:34:50 <TrueBrain> its funny, all information is now received by MachA, forwarded to MachB to be processed, and then returned to MachA :D
15:34:52 <andythenorth> oh he’s in the channel :)
15:34:53 <TrueBrain> I love networking :)
15:35:03 <andythenorth> TrueBrain: what could go wrong? o_O
15:35:32 <TrueBrain> I don't expect any issues with that move
15:35:45 <TrueBrain> but first I am going to give it some time to make sure nothing is broken as it is now :)
16:06:05 <andythenorth> does double-click on title bar do anything?
16:06:11 <andythenorth> and could it windowshade? o_O
16:08:03 <frosch123> scrollwheel does shade iirc
16:09:33 <andythenorth> hmm, could station building UI have shade?
16:10:04 <frosch123> it's a picker window, so i guess no
16:11:40 * andythenorth will keep dragging that window around
16:36:05 *** Hiddenfunstuff has joined #openttd
16:48:14 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
16:56:11 <planetmaker> building FIRS tags seems to work again
16:58:52 <andythenorth> so what is the correct method to get cdist to assign more cargo to a destination?
17:01:47 <andythenorth> maybe I have to spam another train at the route
17:03:49 <andythenorth> hmm no, the new train just sits waiting
17:04:55 <andythenorth> maybe if I force it to run the route?
17:10:04 <andythenorth> maybe I don’t use full load?
17:18:12 <andythenorth> I am out of ideas :P
17:21:01 <andythenorth> what am I doing wrong?
17:26:45 <fonsinchen> andythenorth: The demand is calculated independently of capacity. That's the whole point of it.
17:27:03 <andythenorth> yay fonsinchen :)
17:27:12 <fonsinchen> If you disable influence of distance zou should get roughly equal demand for each destination
17:27:20 <fonsinchen> Not for each intermediate hop, though.
17:27:39 <fonsinchen> roughly means subject to accuracy
17:28:05 <andythenorth> I have accuracy at 64, is that relatively high or low?
17:28:24 <andythenorth> also I have 1 day for recalculation, recalculating every 2 days, with distance at 0%
17:28:57 <fonsinchen> It will try to slice every supply into 64 chunks and distribute each of them independently (I think)
17:29:37 <fonsinchen> So if you have a supply of 64k it can be 1k off for some destination.
17:30:24 <andythenorth> maybe that’s a clue
17:30:45 <fonsinchen> but you better check demands.cpp and mcf.cpp for the details
17:31:05 <fonsinchen> I think I'm using the accuracy in multiple places and that may not be the whole story
17:31:29 <fonsinchen> also there is of course a minimum amount of 1 for each chunk.
17:31:48 <fonsinchen> Which in fact introduces more inaccuracy for small supplies.
17:32:50 <andythenorth> so the problem I have: secondary industry with station A, and two identical trains, one running A-B, the other running A-C, both with full-load orders. Distances A-B and A-C are near enough equal. Route A-C simply gets no cargo assigned at all, the planned view shows none is ever planned. But the link graph shows a link set up, unused.
17:33:04 <andythenorth> I have seen this numerous times now in games
17:33:13 <andythenorth> but *only* at secondary industries, not at primary
17:33:25 <fonsinchen> Show me a savegame and I can probably tell you the reason.
17:33:34 <andythenorth> yeah, my savegame has unreleased grfs :(
17:33:39 <andythenorth> but I could zip them happily?
17:34:27 <andythenorth> wondering if this is somehow due to the way secondary industries move cargo to the station
17:34:36 * andythenorth zips the save anyway
17:35:46 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
17:36:22 *** sim-al2 has joined #openttd
17:41:52 <andythenorth> there are two unreleased grfs in there, everything else is on bananas
17:42:00 * andythenorth hopes he got the right versions :P
17:44:26 <andythenorth> the station that is puzzling me is Sillyweed Valley, it won’t plan any cargo for Riddleweed
17:45:00 <andythenorth> I added a train, ran both the trains the length of the route, removed full load orders, ran the trains again, put the full load orders back
17:45:02 <fonsinchen> It should find grfs if I put them in .openttd/newgrf, right? ...
17:45:14 <andythenorth> I also waited plenty of time for the linkgraph to update
17:45:48 <andythenorth> there was some cargo routed in 1904 or so on that route, because the train had profit and the link graph showed green for ’saturated’
17:47:22 <andythenorth> EKeyboardAndChair?
17:47:43 <andythenorth> fonsinchen: ^ stupid user
17:48:50 <andythenorth> and the town stopped accepting
17:49:04 <andythenorth> and I didn’t check that because the issue looked like one I swear I’ve seen before
17:49:29 <andythenorth> “is it plugged in?” :(
17:49:36 <fonsinchen> Yes, riddleweed doesn't accept goods
17:50:06 <andythenorth> ok I built a hardware store, it should accept now
17:50:45 * andythenorth slightly ashamed :|
17:51:25 <fonsinchen> well, that was easy
17:56:33 <andythenorth> fonsinchen: perhaps you could unconfuse me though: the calculations for vehicle capacity (e.g. in LinkRefresher() etc), are they used to assign cargo, or just to show the edge saturation in the linkgraph?
17:57:25 <andythenorth> I would like to be able to update the wiki page, because it seems that there is confusion about whether cdist actually assigns cargo in proportion to capacity, or not
18:08:29 <andythenorth> AIUI, if distance effect is 0%, for asymmetric distributiion, the cargo will be routed in the ratio 1/number-of-destinations, with a bit of noise and inaccuracy
18:08:41 <andythenorth> but I don’t know if that is correct
18:53:06 <fonsinchen> andythenorth: Cargodist should not take capacity into account when calculating the demands. That's where it determines how much cargo should go to which destination
18:54:11 <fonsinchen> When it calculates the flows it tries to satisfy all the demands equally well. That is a second source of inaccuracy, so you might not get a perfect 1/n or even a fixed error of at most accuracy
18:54:38 <fonsinchen> Errors can happen when calculating the demands and when assigning the flows, but the capacity should not play a systematic role there.
18:55:26 <fonsinchen> andythenorth: The link refresher IIRC is for determining the capacity in the first place
18:58:20 <fonsinchen> Yes, given a vehicle consist with an order list and a current position the LinkRefresher will figure out which links the consist is going to visit in the future and set the capacities on those links to something greater than 0
18:58:39 <fonsinchen> So that if it is waiting for full load it doesn't wait forever.
19:01:37 <fonsinchen> andythenorth: That is link capacity, not vehicle capacity.
19:03:10 <fonsinchen> And when it assigns the flows, it will of course try to route the predetermined demand across links with enough capacity. So it does take capacity into account there, but it won't change the demand when doing so. It will rather overload the links.
19:04:04 <fonsinchen> That's what I meant when I said "Not for each intermediate hop" above.
19:32:18 <andythenorth> and if distance effect is 0%, does anything else affect demand for asymmetric routing?
19:32:22 <andythenorth> or is it all flat?
19:33:36 <fonsinchen> It should be flat, except for inaccuracy.
19:34:00 <andythenorth> I will try and update the wiki page to explain this :)
19:34:19 <fonsinchen> I removed that effect where it counted the acceptance number, by popular demand...
19:34:22 <andythenorth> there is small repetitive FUD that link capacity somehow influences demand and routing
19:34:36 <andythenorth> maybe for historical reasons, or misunderstanding
19:35:03 <fonsinchen> I've always made very clear that this is not what I want to happen
19:35:15 <fonsinchen> Well, routing of course
19:36:06 <fonsinchen> And there may be a bug somewhere, but in order to figure that out I need a savegame showing the behavior
19:36:18 <andythenorth> ok, so yes, my savegame earlier was useless :)
19:36:46 <andythenorth> I will try and reproduce the issue in this game
19:36:58 <andythenorth> or it’s a non-issue
20:21:11 <andythenorth> so given routes A-B-C and A-D-C, link capacity would influence the ratio that cargo is routed via B or D. But the capacity on those links would not in any way affect how much cargo is routed A-E. The only factor on proportion of cargo with final destination as C and E is demand (currently modulated only by distance). Is this accurate, if I write a better version of it in the wiki?
20:29:11 <andythenorth> “count-to-infinity problem” :P
20:29:25 * andythenorth just learnt more about networking routing than he needed
20:29:48 <frosch123> [20:29] <andythenorth> “count-to-infinity problem” :P <- you are lucky if it is countable? :p
20:30:02 <andythenorth> there is an equivalent of Godwin’s law in our office
20:30:20 <andythenorth> which states that if any developers start discussing countable and uncountable infinitity
20:30:25 <andythenorth> everyone else can go home
20:36:31 <fonsinchen> andythenorth: Pretty much correct if you're talking about asymmetric.
20:36:48 <fonsinchen> Otherwise the supply on the other side also influences demand.
20:37:37 * andythenorth wonders if there _should_ be a split on the distance-demand factor, handling pax/mail separately from other cargos
20:38:58 <fonsinchen> Does anyone but andythenorth use cargodist for anything but pax and mail?
20:41:13 <fonsinchen> If you look at the network servers you'll note that it seems to be pretty popular to use asymmetric for pax and mail. I'm always wondering why.
20:41:54 <andythenorth> misunderstandings?
20:42:23 <andythenorth> not using cdist is silly imo :P
20:42:36 <andythenorth> how can we make it better if we don’t use it?
20:42:52 <fonsinchen> Misunderstandings on several servers for months?
20:42:56 <frosch123> imigration is popular right now, so they likely consider asymmetric more realistic :p
20:43:50 <fonsinchen> frosch123 said he R word. Kick him!
20:44:19 <frosch123> what? it's too early in the year to use the S word!
20:44:24 <andythenorth> I haven’t tried asymmetric for pax, wouldn’t have considered it
20:44:37 <frosch123> also, it's belugas' job :)
20:45:41 * andythenorth wonders what difference symmetric pax will make
20:45:49 <andythenorth> small towns might get more incoming cargo than currently
20:46:00 <andythenorth> perhaps stations will block less with pax for large cities
20:47:07 <andythenorth> “but it’s unrealistic” :P
20:48:12 * andythenorth wonders wtf the demand will look like for asymmetric pax in a highly-connected pax network
20:48:21 <fonsinchen> peter1138: The interesting thing about the classical routing algorithms is that they are inherently distributed. They expect each node to have its own CPU and nobody to have global knowledge.
20:48:24 <andythenorth> with distance currently set to 0
20:48:36 <fonsinchen> In openttd we have only one CPU and global knowledge
20:49:31 * andythenorth waits for ‘planned’ to update at some stations in cities
20:49:40 <fonsinchen> andythenorth: All stations get the same amount of pax, no matter if they are in the center of a city or in a small village.
20:50:05 <fonsinchen> Maybe that's the whole point, relaxing the situation of bus stops in city centers.
20:50:20 <andythenorth> so ‘planned’ values should be similar for all destinations with asymmetric + distance 0?
20:57:22 <TrueBrain> @kick andythenorth begging for a kick; sure thing :D
20:57:22 *** andythenorth was kicked by DorpsGek (begging for a kick; sure thing :D)
20:57:38 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
20:57:49 <TrueBrain> or did I misunderstand the conversation? :D :D :P
21:00:12 <andythenorth> I see no misunderstanding here
21:00:20 <frosch123> TrueBrain: what did you expect from an admistrator?
21:00:41 <frosch123> (i am bad with english puns, so i made a german)
21:01:11 <frosch123> uhm, i meant to direct that to andy :p
21:01:41 <andythenorth> it’s ok, it’s all net the same
21:01:43 <TrueBrain> I think you failed there :D
21:01:50 <andythenorth> I got kicked, you messaged the wrong person
21:03:01 <frosch123> for some reason i was only kicked once from this channel. and in that case i kicked myself while trying to outsmart glx' script by attaching NBSP to banned words, and the script being smarter :)

21:07:27 <andythenorth> eh, so symmetric pax, the planned amounts have levelled now

21:08:48 *** Xaroth is now known as Guest1585
21:08:48 *** innocenat is now known as Guest1587
21:09:10 <cursarion> I sometimes find (in 1.5.0) that the "Few" option produces too many rivers for my taste
21:09:13 <andythenorth> * asymmetric pax
21:09:19 <cursarion> and that's the lowest option above None
21:09:24 <andythenorth> eh, all my pax trams are suddenly making money now
21:09:27 <andythenorth> which makes sense
21:09:40 <Wolf01> cursarion, there are only 2 options: none and insane
21:09:49 <andythenorth> they were routed to outlying stations which only supply 8 pax or so / month
21:09:57 <andythenorth> feeding the central station in the sity
21:10:12 <andythenorth> symmetric was killing them

21:16:03 <cursarion> what exactly does it to, besides that?
21:16:26 <frosch123> it should add more slopes and make it harder to spawn rivers
21:16:44 <Wolf01> also it makes harder to build everything
21:19:50 <andythenorth> cargo flow overlay is neat
21:21:59 *** glevans2 has joined #openttd
21:23:00 <andythenorth> eh, but where do all these pax go?
21:23:09 <andythenorth> I’m dropping them off, and they just disappear
21:23:18 <andythenorth> 80 arrive, only 2 get back on
21:24:11 <frosch123> they were on a bicycle vacation, and used the train home because it started raining
21:24:42 <andythenorth> eh symmetric / asymmetric pax
21:24:47 <andythenorth> it’s tomato / tomato
21:24:51 <andythenorth> or tomato / potato
21:25:16 <andythenorth> one makes low-population towns harder to serve economically
21:25:27 <andythenorth> the other has a weird disconnect with the R word
21:25:36 <frosch123> we are still waiting for tb to make a "tomato" feature
21:26:13 <frosch123> you can't imagine how hard we tried to find a name for gamescripts, that could be abbreviated to tomato :)
21:27:28 <frosch123> i am not a ketchup fan

22:46:36 <peter1138> now i really don't know what to get
22:49:19 <TrueBrain> Bitcoin as ingame currency ...
22:49:32 <TrueBrain> every day of gametime the exchange rate changes?
22:49:47 <TrueBrain> how will you pay up till 20.. 14?
22:49:57 <TrueBrain> (random forum threads)
22:56:33 <Xaroth|Work> I'm amazed you don't already have a patch for that, peter1138
23:02:03 <Eddi|zuHause> well, we could introduce fractional exchange rates
23:02:47 <Eddi|zuHause> since it is only for display purposes, it could even use floats
23:04:24 <Eddi|zuHause> you just need to adapt all the display routines for a decimal value, and devise a system of determining how many digits to display
23:05:09 <Eddi|zuHause> (the latter could also be useful for currently really big numbers, honestly)
