01:11:35 <drac_boy> anyone want a rail company named FART? heh, its not an english one ofc :->
01:11:54 *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause
03:56:26 *** Flygon_ is now known as Flygon
03:56:33 <Flygon> Eddi|zuHause: Know any Estonians?
04:00:16 <Flygon> There's also the 100% real Salt Lake Urban Transit
04:00:58 <Flygon> iirc, they actually printed shirts saying "I'm going to ride the S.L.U.T.", or something like that. I think they stopped printing them after moral guardians went nuts.
04:02:37 <sim-al2> Apparently Sita is the last name of one of the founders
04:03:27 <Flygon> Yeah, I can't imagine he went to the Northern Baltics much
04:03:59 <Flygon> The founder died a few years ago, sadly
04:04:03 <Flygon> He was a very cool guy
04:04:12 <Flygon> Everyone in the company loved him

06:59:53 <twb> I ship OpenTTD to prison inmates.
07:00:05 <twb> What's the process to give them AI?
07:02:25 <Supercheese> Well, you'll need to choose one (or more)
07:02:33 <Supercheese> there is no "default" AI
07:04:00 <twb> So I guess something like "download these .zip files, unpack them into the game data area, then you can pick which AIs to play against in the game's GUI" ?
07:04:55 <twb> Ah, I picked one at random (AroAI) and it has a GPL license, so that answers one of my other worries
07:16:59 <twb> Thanks, that's enough for me to go on with
07:34:07 <Flygon> Crap, I wish I had a "No Mail' option in this game
07:34:49 <Flygon> Does setting a CargoDist setting to "Manual" prevent shipping the cargo?

11:38:42 <peter1138> hmm, so... how should i try to get this macbook working again? buy a new battery, new charger, or just take it to an apple shop?

13:33:59 <peter1138> hmm, so... how should i try to get this macbook working again? buy a new battery, new charger, or just take it to an apple shop?
13:35:43 <andythenorth> does it power on with the charger?
13:36:06 * andythenorth wonders which bit the magic smoke escaped from
13:36:34 <peter1138> only if i press a key combination (don't remember what) while holding the power button on
13:36:38 <peter1138> and then it doesn't boot
13:41:44 <andythenorth> peter1138: my guess would be that something is borked with the power management unit (PMU)
13:41:51 <andythenorth> or just the battery is dead
13:42:19 <andythenorth> I would try a high street repair shop, unless you can be bothered to gooooooogle stuff
13:42:30 <andythenorth> don’t go to real Apple store, they’re too weird
13:44:57 <peter1138> yeah read that. that is basically "remove all power sources for a bit"
13:44:59 <andythenorth> I used to know how to fix macs, but I haven’t broken one for a while
13:45:38 <peter1138> i'd've thought it would at least come on even with a dead battery
13:45:42 <peter1138> but then it's apple, so who knows
13:46:17 <andythenorth> those ones will boot without a battery in place
13:46:30 <peter1138> ye... it doesn't heh
13:48:21 <peter1138> tis a pity she was a whore

17:21:30 <dromer20> Hi guys, does any of you have tried Infrastructure sharing patch? I'm clueless of where to find the infrastructure sharing window
17:21:52 <Alberth> tried the company window?
17:22:02 <Alberth> never played it so don't know
17:22:54 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
17:23:46 <dromer20> yes, it's no longer there.
17:24:05 *** TheMask96 has joined #openttd
17:24:07 *** Clockworker_ has joined #openttd
17:24:09 <dromer20> Seems like they disabled individual settings per company, but when i connect lines it disallows it.
17:24:27 <dromer20> Would be nice if patches at least have short readme's on how they work :)
17:24:32 <Alberth> maybe they moved it to a new window
17:24:43 <Alberth> you can read the patch :p
17:24:47 <dromer20> i really scanned all menu items 10 times :)
17:25:47 <Alberth> yeah, source code is quicker probably for these sort of questions :)
17:26:14 <Alberth> although you need to know your way around it
17:26:45 <Alberth> reading is a lot simpler than writing :)
17:27:22 <dromer20> yeah but then i would need to find the code about building a railroad tile... and then figure out the infra sharing related conditions... ;) not an easy challenge ;)
17:28:11 <Alberth> nah, just look for the window
17:28:25 *** Belugas has joined #openttd
17:28:25 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Belugas
17:28:38 <Alberth> look in the new strings, find a string that looks like it belongs in the window you want, then find the use of that string
17:28:58 <Alberth> tried eg "share" as search in the settings?
17:35:24 <dromer20> yes, the settings are present about infrastructure sharing (i.e. in the jgr patch)
17:36:29 <dromer20> and i have them enabled, but it's not working, i.e. i would expect to be able to connect to railroad of a competitor but instead i get the default "... owned by XXX transport inc"
17:40:48 <Alberth> just ask about it in the forum
17:41:09 <Alberth> if you can't find it, other likely have the same problem :)
17:52:20 <dromer20> I figured it out :) Trains can actually run on other people's infrastructure, your just not able to build on an existing railroad track (the other party has to build a switch for you, or you have to connect at a straight end piece, ie a station)

21:17:13 *** oskari89 has joined #openttd
21:22:01 <drac_boy> anything planned or just basically being lazy?
21:25:01 *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
21:26:34 <Alberth> more like being mentally tired from a long day of thinking how things work and should work
21:27:43 <Alberth> as well as how the code achieved its thing, it's over 2 years ago since I wrote that complicated piece of code
21:27:56 <drac_boy> I see what you mean, yeah just be lazy as long as you still remember your name (just saying)
21:28:24 <Alberth> computer seems to remember that just fine in here :)
21:40:46 <drac_boy> well I'm just looking for some modelling-helpful rail photos starting with wiki and railfaneurope site
21:42:03 <Alberth> world has produced sufficient weird stuff to keep you busy :)
21:42:48 <drac_boy> heh well how would you like a rail bridge that only exists between spring and fall? (its raised out of use for the winter) ;)
21:50:54 <drac_boy> mind you its basically a tourist line so the winter issue isn't as major as it would first seem (the commerical route is a long tunnel at much lower elevation)
