12:43:39 <Wolf01> \o/ i loaded the bitmap successfully
12:44:24 <Alberth> so now you have a very big shiny bitmap ? :)
12:44:51 <Wolf01> and now i can use the GDI+ drawing functions
12:45:44 <Alberth> Hmm, GDI, wasn't a bad guy in C&C ? :)
12:46:01 <Wolf01> it depends how do you look at it ;)
12:46:50 <Wolf01> i'm a bit ashamed of(by?) the print class, i use a double nested for... i think there's a better way
12:49:12 <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: GDI was more like a stand-in for NATO
12:49:30 <Alberth> well, it's fast to program, if it also works fast enough, you're done :)
12:49:41 <Eddi|zuHause> i.e. the guys that invade countries to overthrow "terrorists"
12:49:47 <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: ah, a good guy, apparently :)
12:50:04 <Alberth> which in the end doesn't matter at all :p
12:50:08 <Eddi|zuHause> i think "good" is a bit overstretching the word :p
12:59:59 <Wolf01> also, it's possible to get some info from ottd to print on the display? something like a list of vehicles by income or age
13:02:10 <Eddi|zuHause> Wolf01: through the admin port, potentially in compination with a game script
13:04:30 <Wolf01> if i had the G19 it would have been cool to have the minimap on the display
13:04:48 <Wolf01> but that must be way too much
13:05:05 <Eddi|zuHause> that you can only do by patching openttd, probably.
13:05:54 <Wolf01> yes just put the display framework function in the game
13:06:01 <Wolf01> like many other games do
13:32:41 <Eddi|zuHause> is there a maljour?
13:34:09 <Rubidium> I reckon something classified as "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" might be classified as maljour ;)
13:37:52 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
13:47:05 <frosch123> when eddi does not reply to a forum thread, i am sometimes lost wrt. what the thread is about
13:47:55 <Eddi|zuHause> my heuristic is also not 100% accurate
13:49:35 <Wolf01> "No 45 degree turns" captain?
13:49:52 <Eddi|zuHause> he probably meant double-45°
13:50:02 <frosch123> yeah, so no turns at all :) but signals otoh
13:50:29 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, the signal thing made no sense at all
13:50:34 <Wolf01> it would be hard to find a lot of industries to connect in straight line
13:52:23 <Eddi|zuHause> you could make transfers ;)
13:54:43 <Eddi|zuHause> so, when do we implement an achievement system? :p
13:55:54 *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
13:56:22 <Wolf01> like "you built your first train depot"?
13:56:36 <Alberth> we have such a script, don't we?
13:57:02 <Eddi|zuHause> Alberth: but no global gamified social media stuff
13:57:35 <Alberth> I guess it's part of the steam upgrade package?
14:00:20 <Wolf01> mmmh, i want to build the lego mercedes arocs
14:13:49 <Eddi|zuHause> you gotta prioritize, man :p
14:19:03 <Wolf01> yes i choose to build them in this order: mercedes arocs, crawler crane, cargo airplane
14:22:52 <Alberth> s/cargo/mercedes arocs/ ? saves space :)
14:23:47 <Eddi|zuHause> i meant: get a bigger space, or throw something else out :p
15:21:32 <Wolf01> in the new dr. who set it seem the tardis is working, maybe they could adapt the same technology to all the other sets, so you can open them and play, while they take just a bit of space when closed
15:22:06 <Wolf01> but right now, i think i'll invade the kitchen

21:01:53 <Wolf01> nice, i leave for a while to build with lego and the channel dies
21:23:12 *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
21:32:07 *** drac_boy has joined #openttd
21:57:42 <drac_boy> doing ok here..just slow day tho :-s
21:59:47 <FLHerne> For me too, been a fairly busy week overall though
21:59:59 <FLHerne> Laptop's been in bits all over my table a lot
22:01:00 <drac_boy> heh I've somewhat given up on x86 computers...but who knows if I'll look into it a bit again tho :->
22:02:26 <FLHerne> Oldish Thinkpad, not bad for fiddling about with
22:02:36 <FLHerne> Has nicely-labeled screws and everything
22:05:28 <drac_boy> well yeah thats true...sadly I've tried asking for one for some time but noone around here seem to have a thinkpad R or T for sale at all
22:06:11 <FLHerne> drac_boy: Canada sort of way?
22:06:24 <FLHerne> Or is my memory totally off
22:07:41 <FLHerne> In the UK, there seem to be loads on Gumtree/eBay
22:08:05 <drac_boy> vermont isn't too far tho
22:09:02 *** roidal_ has joined #openttd
22:09:26 <drac_boy> btw which thinkpad do you have?
22:10:00 <FLHerne> Although over half of it was previously my X200
22:10:39 <FLHerne> Only parts that were X201 originally are the lower case, mobo and fingerprint reader
22:11:52 <FLHerne> Perfect laptop for dragging about all day, screen isn't all that good though
22:12:28 <drac_boy> hmm not sure I like that one but to our own :)
22:13:46 <FLHerne> It's one of the last before Lenovo started making daft changes
22:14:46 <drac_boy> flherne heh nope..just a bit too lacking on specs (and no not the cpu)
22:14:59 <FLHerne> Raiz: It's a transport strategy game
22:15:01 <drac_boy> but like I was saying - to our own anyhow
22:15:12 <FLHerne> drac_boy: GPU is pretty awful, yeah
22:15:50 <drac_boy> and networking is just about ok but data ports not so great
22:16:11 <FLHerne> Interfaces not bad - with the expresscard slot, I've got 5 USB ports, wwan/gps, wifi, bluetooth, vga, ethernet and a modem port I never found a use for
22:16:27 <FLHerne> USB3 would have been nice
22:17:09 <FLHerne> Raiz: I fail to see the major advantage over /list
22:17:18 <FLHerne> I guess summarising the topics a bit helps
22:17:39 <Raiz> FLHerne, list will list all the crappy chans
22:17:53 <Raiz> this one is organized and... it's just better
22:18:03 <FLHerne> I fail to see the major advantage over /list with a minimum user count :P
22:18:34 <FLHerne> #/r/openttd is ingame (and out-of-game) chat for r/openttd OpenTTD servers
22:18:46 <FLHerne> Not sure if it fits your list, but it's fairly active
22:19:35 <drac_boy> flherne well I prefer eg R51 which has everything needed (aside to uppering the factory hd) for example
22:23:04 <FLHerne> drac_boy: List says you get a parallel port and optional firewire?
22:23:37 <FLHerne> I suppose either of those could be useful to someone with old, strange or ex-Apple hardware
22:24:14 <drac_boy> you forgot the more common fourth choice
22:25:49 <drac_boy> nope: being able to move lot of data constantly (and sometimes without a master host either)
22:27:01 <drac_boy> but either way..yeah parallel port is pretty useless unless you're someone who want to flash some LED lights from your computer for cheap :)
22:27:47 <Wolf01> i miss a midi/game port
22:29:50 <drac_boy> wolf01 well..use something cheap like Firewire Solo to get your piano plugged in plus a lot more? just a random thought so you know :p
22:31:08 <Wolf01> eh, my keyboard is plain old midi, i still have an old pentium2 with windows 98 for that purpose :P
22:33:32 <Wolf01> i must also say that i don't play with it since that time :P
22:36:15 * drac_boy whacks some sour keys to drive wolf01 crazy with
22:40:33 <drac_boy> wolf01 btw you got any..umm...scsi cdrom's?
22:41:22 *** Kurimus has joined #openttd
22:41:38 <drac_boy> heh well scsi cdroms often were used for pianos and sometimes other 'smarter' music equipments too
22:42:09 <drac_boy> doesn't help some of them also have digital coaxial output too (especially nec) so you could play digital cds next to the computer
22:43:06 <Wolf01> i have 2 atari ST used for music and just one 720kb floppy disk :P
22:44:08 *** Cybertinus has joined #openttd
22:46:43 <drac_boy> wolf01 I kinda liked the falcon but ... hmm .. dunno if would want be keeping it around tho
22:50:46 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
22:51:11 <drac_boy> wolf01 to our own on this but I've always liked either desktop or cpu-under-keyboard forms ... I don't understand the stupid obsession with spacewasting towers that have globs of dust
22:51:34 <Eddi|zuHause> <Wolf01> i miss a midi/game port <-- i would imagine there are midi-usb adapters
23:16:32 <drac_boy> a little bit quiet again
23:27:48 <drac_boy> anyway going off for evening now
23:48:55 <peter1138> digital cds, as opposed to analogue cds?
continue to next day ⏵
