02:08:22 <Eddi|zuHause> i think i was perfectly fine never hearing about that...
02:12:27 <drac_boy> heh, well I'm not too surprised. also re that it seem to had been specifically an usa-only thing (seeing that even some uk locomotives did run on anthracite coal but still retained a standard cab)
02:18:03 <drac_boy> oh yeah eddi sorry about my memory but in the middle of the long chat earlier on you mentioned about some country having all-electric coaches in 1911 .. which country did you mentioned again?
02:19:59 *** HerzogDeXtEr1 has joined #openttd
02:26:07 <Eddi|zuHause> it says the engine has electric heating, but doesn't say which wagons went with it. i'm assuming they had some :p
02:28:30 <drac_boy> bavaria sure had a lot of interesting things (and now I have to add early electric-heated coaches to that too heh)
02:30:09 <Eddi|zuHause> bavaria always has to do things differently from everybody else...
02:32:15 <drac_boy> well the S3/6 is one of my favorites from bavaria steam era :)
02:33:56 <drac_boy> its almost like a tram locomotive smushed into a coach that had another level welded onto it (it doesn't look so one-piece)
02:34:54 <drac_boy> (and yeah I know...who put the boiler in sideway? hehe)
02:42:54 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think that's particularly rare for this kind of vehicle
02:43:08 <Eddi|zuHause> i'd rather ask myself who found it fit to build a model of that :p
02:44:18 <drac_boy> well at least tri-level only exists in fantasy and maybe its better off left that way ;) (yes 'fantasy' does cover the Knight Bus thank you)
02:44:42 <Eddi|zuHause> i meant the sideways boiler
02:45:20 <sim-al2> I'm sure firing that must have been fun
02:45:51 <sim-al2> Doesn't leave much room for boiler tubes either
02:46:15 <Eddi|zuHause> it's like 3m wide?
02:46:17 <drac_boy> sim-a12 it depends..could be either its got very short flues with the firebox right on other side ... or some L-ish arrangement
02:46:38 <drac_boy> if it had been a donkey engine we wouldn't be seeing the boiler frontend at all
02:48:29 <drac_boy> (hm..hard to tell tho..bit dark .. the search term said donkey tho)
02:49:55 <sim-al2> The wiki page says the boiler was rated for 100hp, and the vehicle wieghes 28 tonnes...
02:51:48 <drac_boy> sim-a12 well its a rather early date so I would have to say 100hp sounds about ok as thats probably just as fast if not faster than a stagecoach horse
02:54:06 <drac_boy> even some of the sentinel/alike steam railcars were not exactly speedy (without overheating issues as some went)
02:57:13 <drac_boy> looks like 30-40km/h is quoted for some uk examples. and the lner.info site lists that the first several sentinel railcars were listed as 100hp (same number again eh?)
03:11:35 <drac_boy> thats ... three boilers .. seriously :-s
03:17:56 *** rahtgaz_ has joined #openttd
03:28:39 <Eddi|zuHause> so they split it to fit bigger wheels?
03:29:29 <Eddi|zuHause> almost looks like a cubistic painting with skewed perspective
03:45:41 <drac_boy> think I'm going sleep soon, you two have fun anyhow

14:06:28 <Eddi|zuHause> the danger there is that the cat misinterprets this as a pit of sand
14:16:50 *** Myhorta has joined #openttd
14:18:27 <Mazur> You underestimate the basic intelligence of cats. That would neither hide it nor mask ht scent.
14:23:26 <Wolf01> or they just leave "it" in plain sight in the middle of the room
14:24:26 <Eddi|zuHause> one of my cats had the habit of peeing into flower pots
14:25:07 <Wolf01> mine had the habit of peeing on the wc, the base of the wc
14:30:29 <Mazur> You should not have missed that often.
14:31:36 <Wolf01> that was the first thought, everybody on my family negated and then we found the culprit
14:39:25 <Mazur> Still, the cat would not do that unless a. the sandbox wasn't cleaned often enough and b. it had not detected a sense it was a place of elimination.
14:39:57 <Mazur> And c. it had no free access to the outside world.
14:40:56 <Mazur> Ever since my parents installed a cat-flap in the backdoor, the litterbox only got used in terrible weather.
14:41:22 <Eddi|zuHause> we have no litterbox, the cats just go outside
14:42:01 <Wolf01> b for sure, he is really lazy and he started to do it when he figured out what we do there, then we started to keep the door shut so he was forced to go outside
14:42:17 <Eddi|zuHause> well, we used to have one, but it's just more work than benefit
14:42:46 <Mazur> Especially since a catflap eliminates the need.
14:46:25 <Eddi|zuHause> well, the main trouble with the litterbox was that these little grains don't stay in the box, and distribute themselves over the wholehouse

19:45:24 <DorpsGek> -Update from WebTranslator v3.0:
19:45:25 <DorpsGek> basque - 43 changes by Thadah
19:45:26 <DorpsGek> spanish - 3 changes by SilverSurferZzZ
19:45:44 <planetmaker> what does the grf do, frosch123 ?
19:46:22 <frosch123> no idea, but it uses a shitload of macros, so you cannot read anything
19:46:30 <frosch123> and the .nml file is committed to the repo
19:46:37 <frosch123> so i can never truest the makefile to really update it
19:46:44 <frosch123> because the repo one might be newer

20:20:49 <DorpsGek> V453000: andythenorth was last seen in #openttd 23 hours, 30 minutes, and 51 seconds ago: <andythenorth> _that_ won’t look good in ottd
20:21:59 <V453000> NO. :( I AM SAD AS SHIT
20:22:23 <V453000> I am just wondering if andy has a list of ALL of FIRS cargoes
20:22:36 <V453000> including the java bullshit and whatnot
20:23:07 <frosch123> oh, it doesn't list the cargolabel
20:23:24 <Alberth> not of interest to a user
20:23:52 <V453000> lets see if I can find the tt wiki cargo page
20:24:30 <frosch123> Alberth: andy locked himself out of the wiki
20:24:42 <frosch123> so, no updated firs stuff in newgrfspecs :)
20:25:15 <frosch123> wikipedia has this bullshit going on, that not all characters work in usernames and passwords
20:25:36 <Zuu> Each file have cargo_labe = '...', so a grep or two or vim macro to sort out just what you want.
20:25:38 <frosch123> you can change stuff on forums, which the wiki then does not understand
20:26:23 <frosch123> there is actually a coding page in the firs docs :)
20:33:02 <V453000> hm looks like I am only missing nitrates in my graphics
20:33:24 <frosch123> do you have pyrite ore?
20:33:51 <V453000> ok I dont have that either
20:34:04 <V453000> that is just perfect XD
20:34:14 <V453000> I will add some random colour sprites which didnt fit anywher eelse
20:34:17 <frosch123> apparently you can google it
20:35:59 <frosch123> andy was debating for days, whether to add gold, and then settled for pyrite ore :)
20:36:31 <V453000> that sounds like his logic
20:39:41 <Rubidium> isn't pyrite some sort of fake gold?
20:40:14 <Rubidium> and probably pyrite could have higher yields than gold
20:42:56 <planetmaker> Rubidium, it is exactly that
20:43:09 *** Phreeze has joined #openttd
20:48:52 <frosch123> could have been andy :)
20:49:50 <frosch123> planetmaker: did you know pyrite in advance, or did you look it up?
20:50:10 <V453000> I do remember pyrite from chemistry
20:58:29 <Zuu> frosch123: _dp_ made a new patch. (a week ago) In his comment he says _NORMAL is needed because growth rate of 0 is a valid value.
20:58:53 <Zuu> It might be internally even though in general a rate of 0 is a bit strange.
20:59:01 <planetmaker> frosch123, I know what pyrite is, yes. I knew it approximately before, but I needed to look up the details
20:59:56 <planetmaker> basically my knowledge extended prior to 'some quite common mineral in the continental crust'
21:05:54 <Zuu> _dp_: As for patch splitting, I would usually cut out parts of the .patch file and apply. Manually fix up what remains. Then 'hg qrefresh' or commit it in git, then you continue like that and make hg or git record the different stages of the files. Having done that you can step backwards/forward in the patch history and produce patch-files for each step. In hg you can just grap .hg/patches/*.patch. :-)
21:06:27 *** sim-al2 has joined #openttd
21:07:50 <_dp_> Zuu, so by splitting you mean more like having patch history?
21:10:45 <Zuu> The formula change you made is located in 3 places. While you are right one of the places do change location in a differnt part of your patch, it is different changes/actions to the code.
21:14:10 <_dp_> Zuu, hm, I may try it next time, did't know hg could do this. Still not sure if that would really help understanding as changes will be easier but there will be more of them and some could even get changed again before path completion.
21:15:43 <_dp_> Also speaking of this particular patch it's not how I developed it. I created a separate file with tests and worked there until it was passing them all, then just copy-pasted code and did final testing in ttd.
21:15:44 <Zuu> For hg, you like to lookup "hg queues" or "mq". For git you use a branch and if you want to change something you make a new branch or so.
21:17:27 <Alberth> _dp_: that's normal procedure, first you figure out what you need to make it work. Once that works, figure out how to apply the changes into openttd such that each step makes sense, and everything keeps working
21:18:01 <Alberth> both times you start from unmodified openttd
21:19:41 <Alberth> I usually keep the working version in one directory, and an unmodified openttd in another directory (with VCS under it), then copy/paste small parts of the change to form a new commit for the 2nd time. Commit each of that patches to the vcs, and you'll end up with a nice queue to get the patch into openttd in a logical way
21:20:24 <Alberth> especially useful if you have an editor that can show diff between two windows, while allowing you to edit
21:23:26 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
21:28:26 <Zuu> Alberth: Is that an (to me) unknown vim feature?
21:29:22 <Zuu> I know there is vimdiff. Hmm. with autosave enabled that could work. But even better to compare the file streams without saving.
21:35:03 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
21:45:12 *** drac_boy has joined #openttd
21:52:57 *** Guest10382 is now known as Xaroth
22:01:19 <Alberth> vimdiff is a normal editing mode, that you can also setup from within the editor, or from the command-line
22:02:26 <Alberth> I have a script that opens a window for the same file in two repository directories
22:03:50 <Alberth> ie cd new_repo; open_files ../old_repo src/file1
22:05:22 <Zuu> IIRC I have used vimdiff to view patch files or maybe to diff two files from Windows right click menu, but really I haven't tried to use it while editing.
22:07:04 <Alberth> gvim -c ":diffsplit olddir/file" newdir/file
22:07:34 <Alberth> does horizontal split instead of vertical split so long lines fit better :)
22:07:46 <frosch123> if you know vimdimm.... do you also know how to exit vimdiff and make hg insert normal conlfict markers?
22:08:14 <frosch123> i know how to disable it in .hgrc
22:08:33 <frosch123> but i do not know what to do on machines which are not mine, when i suddenly end up in a vimdiff session :p
22:09:59 <Zuu> It is interesting how one can always learn more about vim.
22:10:14 <frosch123> more scary stuff, yes :)
22:10:47 <Alberth> hg help merge-tools <-- says stuff about HGMERGE env var
22:11:12 <frosch123> Alberth: yes, but at that point it is already too late :p
22:11:19 <drac_boy> heh all I know about vim is to...reboot the system to get back to console? :->
22:11:43 <Alberth> drac_boy: ever tried :wq <enter>
22:12:07 *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
22:12:08 <frosch123> yes, "ESC :q!" is what you need to know
22:12:23 * andythenorth wonders how to compile this rivers thing
22:12:29 <drac_boy> or how about just ctrl+q? ;)
22:12:36 <andythenorth> eh, it should go on Truebrain’s new compile farm thing
22:12:39 <Zuu> :q! - The vim version of rm -rf / ?
22:12:40 <Alberth> or learn vim properly instead of whatever broken editor you use now :p
22:13:04 <planetmaker> :q! means "getta out here quickly without mess"
22:13:07 <Alberth> drac_boy: that's a shell thing rather than a vim thing
22:13:07 <drac_boy> vim's the broken one :P
22:13:16 <Zuu> Of course :q! only abort what you did in that file. So it will not break your system though. :-)
22:13:24 <Alberth> nope, vim just has a very steep learning curve
22:13:25 <drac_boy> but anyway nevermind that ... just get back to your normal topic above ;)
22:13:35 <frosch123> andythenorth: hg init --mq; unzip stuff into .hg/patches; hg qpush -a; ./configure; make
22:14:00 <frosch123> make sure to replace "series" during unzip
22:14:00 <andythenorth> I would never have figured out .hg/patches on my own :P
22:15:04 <Zuu> I usually chmod +r on it and then scp it to /~zuu/../ to update a patch series.
22:16:22 <Zuu> .hg/patches is one of the things that make hg queues work nice for pereparing patches to projects using a central trunk.
22:16:58 <Alberth> euhm, every project has one trunk, hasn't it? :)
22:16:58 * andythenorth wishes people would just use github :P
22:17:18 <andythenorth> all this ‘make a queue, get a zip’ stuff is high friction
22:17:45 <andythenorth> when fonso wanted to share cdist stuff with me, he just gave me the github
22:17:58 <Zuu> The problem with queues is when you start trying to share them.
22:18:14 <andythenorth> github, feature branches
22:18:25 <andythenorth> it’s a solved problem :x
22:18:34 <Zuu> I have had problems with branches when I try to work with them from more than one computer.
22:18:53 *** Myhorta[1] has joined #openttd
22:18:58 <Alberth> hg branches don't work if that's what you mean :)
22:19:13 <Alberth> name space conflicts iirc
22:19:26 <andythenorth> frosch123: yes, it’s very true
22:19:54 <Zuu> I was refering to git branches. Never seriously tried hg braches.
22:21:14 <Alberth> ah, git has too many steps, I always miss one step at some point during the day
22:21:30 <Alberth> and things end up at the wrong place
22:23:11 <frosch123> andythenorth: see andy, i have noone to fix my git checkouts
22:23:18 <frosch123> but i can do it for svn and hg
22:24:02 <andythenorth> I have yet to actually break git, and I am provably someone who breaks things
22:26:19 <Zuu> Do you work your own in git from a single directory on your single computer?
22:27:21 <Zuu> When having multiple checkouts (on same computer or different one), I find things start to get interesting. Especially if it involves branches and also other people. :-)
22:34:17 * andythenorth works on multiple repos with multiple people, with hundreds of branches
22:36:40 <frosch123> oh, yes, if everyone keeps their own branch, you never run into merge conflicts
