00:26:26 <cbrowne> I've been playing transport tycoon since the late 90s, mostly openttd since the mid 00s, had a dip into the source code once before but only to investigate something. Anyway I'm itching to write some code right now -because of "reasons" I haven't pushed anything to prod at work for almost half a year and it's making me very angsty and irritated. Long story short, is anyone willing to have
00:26:27 <cbrowne> a chat about what needs doing and be there if I have questions about where things are in the code?
00:30:39 <Eddi|zuHause> you can ask any such questions in here, just be aware that reaction time may be in hours rather than minutes...
00:31:14 <Eddi|zuHause> also, there's a list of beginner projects in the wiki
00:32:32 <Eddi|zuHause> and in general, projects like this are usually driven by what you want to do, not what "needs to be done"
00:33:51 <Eddi|zuHause> if you do not have an inner desire to do a certain thing, it's usually problematic to stay motivated/focused to continue doing that thing
00:37:34 *** Hiddenfunstuff has quit IRC
00:40:23 <cbrowne> and yeah I get that "scratch your own itch" mentality, and while that is a great source of motivation it's by far and away not the only way to motivate yourself
00:41:53 <cbrowne> I draw a lot of motivation from the sense of satisfaction that I solved a problem, for example, even if the problem is not something that affects me personally
00:45:39 <Eddi|zuHause> sure. if you want problems to solve, check the bug tracker.
00:47:28 <Eddi|zuHause> what i meant is that there is no "master plan" of things that need to be done. even if someone created one, hardly anybody would follow it.
00:48:56 <Eddi|zuHause> there used to be a "road map" page on the wiki, but that sort of disintegrated into some sort of whishlist without any relation to what's actually being implemented

11:50:15 <Eddi|zuHause> in my language, "ih" is an expression of disgust. like where an english speaker would use "ew"
11:50:55 <Eddi|zuHause> (sometimes it's spelled "ihh")
11:52:20 <nadavs> What language is that?
11:52:40 <__ln__> the language of mordor
11:54:03 <Eddi|zuHause> well, sort of :p

15:22:19 <_dp_> Hi! Why is there no option to completely disable local authority building restrictions?

15:45:36 <Eddi|zuHause> _dp_: you mean like the magic bulldozer cheat?
15:46:53 <_dp_> but mostly I mean trees "cheat"
15:50:28 <_dp_> why not have disabling option if it's possible to circumvent it anyway
15:52:07 <_dp_> just sheer annoyance to do that plat/destroy stuff every time you're unlucky enough to get your rating under -200
15:52:47 <peter1138> Yeah, probably ought to fix it so that doesn't work.
16:07:35 *** Pereba_ has joined #openttd
16:08:12 <_dp_> fixing just trees will only make things worse, you need to think some way of calculating authority rating that actually makes sense
16:10:20 <_dp_> don't think it's even possible because of deadlock logic like you need stations to do anything meaningful to impove rating to allow building stations
