04:13:19 <ryouma> this is a really silly question, but for the default load game, is there a purpose or goal of the game? does one win it?
04:17:33 <Flygon> You score the highest score possible
04:17:42 <Flygon> It's basically an arcade game
04:21:49 <ryouma> Flygon: by like 2050 or something?
04:22:29 <ryouma> so if you want a short game you start at a time near 2050 i guess
04:24:05 <ST2> ryouma: there's a bunch of online servers running with Goal (CV, CV, Rating, Cargo, Cash, etc)
04:24:28 <ST2> but that requires some server controller software
04:24:47 <ST2> the game itself is a sandbox
04:32:09 <Flygon> Or as we call it in proper English
04:38:57 <ryouma> so i can connect to online and then play ai or other players that way? i tried this, but no servers showed up.
04:51:36 <Pikka> there's a button you have to click there to get the servers to show, I forget what it says though :)
04:53:14 <ryouma> that does nothing here
04:53:35 <ryouma> there is an add server button, but i don't know any servers
05:13:30 <sim-al2> ryouma you still having trouble?
05:17:47 <ryouma> sim-al2: yeah nothing happens when i click that button
05:18:16 <sim-al2> No other internet problems right?
05:18:20 <ryouma> maybe OpenTTD 1.4.4 is too old
05:18:27 <ryouma> no, internet is fine right now
05:18:45 <sim-al2> It's not current, but you should be able to see the servers listed at least
05:24:20 <ryouma> is there a way i can enter a server address into a configuration file instead of using the gui?
05:24:59 <sim-al2> You're on Windows right?
05:25:52 <sim-al2> Ok you'll have to find the .openttd folder, I assume it's in home
05:26:25 <sim-al2> ok, in openttd.cfg there should be a [servers] section
05:26:58 <sim-al2> you add the IP in the form of <108.174.51.137:3979 = >
05:27:28 <ryouma> so just enter "108.174.51.137:3979 = " on a line by itself?
05:27:48 <sim-al2> ALthough you might want to pick an IP address of an actual server
05:28:15 <sim-al2> Try 92.162.84.173:3979, it's stilll on 1.4.4
05:29:21 <sim-al2> Does it show up ingame now?
05:29:37 <ryouma> that worked. but says it is offline.
05:31:06 <sim-al2> No, i picked one on 1.4.4
05:31:27 <sim-al2> It seems to be offline though
05:33:47 <sim-al2> Ok, here's one that I know actually works: (disclamiar, I mod it): 78.47.100.155:3979
05:34:04 <sim-al2> It's on 1.5.2 though, so you won't be able to connect
05:53:12 <ryouma> yes, but join is greyed out due to version mismatch
05:53:24 <ryouma> tried mike's and it required password
05:53:27 <ryouma> this is going to be a slog i guess
05:55:25 <ryouma> but i can enter them all and try them one by one i guess
05:57:46 <ryouma> actually i suspect that none of them will work for me, because one or two say "newgrf mismatch". i need big icons etc. which i suspect are "newgrf"? probably nobody else runs those.
05:58:50 <sim-al2> Actually in 1.5.2 Big Icons are now a game option
05:59:13 <sim-al2> I would download 1.5.2, there's a lot more servers to try
06:11:01 <sim-al2> A lot of newgrfs can be downloaded using the ingame browser too

11:39:32 <_dp_> ha, I think I know what ryouma problem was, advertised switch is off by default
11:39:47 <_dp_> I stumbled upon it too recently when trying android version
11:40:10 <_dp_> even gave it to my friend who never played openttd and asked to join any server
11:41:09 <_dp_> think it should be called smth like LAN/Internet and be on internet by default (and start scan when you open window)
11:50:05 <Alberth> that's against the idea that a user should give explicit permission to access external resources
11:51:10 <Alberth> just like the game not automagically downloading updates without your permission
11:54:25 <_dp_> then add a dialog with big button "I agree"))
11:54:55 <_dp_> coz now it only fits the idea that in mp we don't need noobs who can't even google :P
12:05:24 <blathijs> "Advertised" is not really a self-explanatory setting, I guess a LAN games / Advertised internet games setting might be more clear?
12:05:28 <blathijs> or something similar

12:49:11 <Eddi|zuHause> it WAS called LAN/Internet a few years ago, and someone changed it because he thought it wasn't clear enough
