⏴ go to previous day
01:05:49 <Wolf01> <supermop> Wolf01: what was our conclusion on dual-mode? <- no clue on how to do it with the current system, also I have to actually try to do it to be sure :P
01:08:54 <supermop> i am in spreadsheet hell trying to figure out what stats should be for different generations of different types of trucks

15:17:23 <Alberth> paper mill thingie done?
15:18:16 <Alberth> not sure I like the left-most white building much
15:20:17 <Alberth> might be better without that white box?
15:20:31 <Alberth> but if it's done, no worries, I'll live :)
15:21:48 <Alberth> should I worry about how to get the wood into the factory?
15:27:29 <andythenorth> got a new one, didn’t screen shot yet
15:36:28 <Alberth> not sure why, building is more massive
15:37:07 <Alberth> repetition isn't an issue to me, at first sight, perhaps there are sufficient other things around it
15:42:09 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
15:43:48 <andythenorth> it’s better tied in, the brown colour continues in all the buildings
15:44:02 <andythenorth> and I swapped the big grey pipe thing for smaller chemical plant details
15:44:35 <andythenorth> it’s my new favourite industry :)
15:44:37 <andythenorth> until the next one
15:46:22 <supermop_home> lack of big grey thing helps
15:48:16 <supermop_home> can a switch have results like "x: return (<other_switch>+2)
15:48:36 <supermop_home> trying to add params to balance capacity and running costs
15:48:57 <supermop_home> rather it will be:
15:50:03 <supermop_home> x: return other_switch; y: return other_switch; default: return (other_switch*1.3)
15:51:05 <supermop_home> Alberth: industrial buildings are often repetitive
15:55:51 <Alberth> merge the * 1.3 in the return value of 'other_switch' ?
15:56:22 <Alberth> but otherwise, not sure, what does nml say?
15:56:23 *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
15:56:26 <supermop_home> other switch sets the running cost for a diesel truck by parameter
15:57:07 <supermop_home> the 1.3 is the amount to increase running cost of a dual mode truck when it is not on ELRD
15:58:09 <supermop_home> so a trolley truck uses value of other_switch directly in callback for running cost
15:58:34 <supermop_home> but dual mode truck must first check to see if it is on a powered roadtype
15:59:11 <supermop_home> idk if there is an easier way to multiply all running costs or capacities in a newgrf by same factor
15:59:52 <Alberth> neither do I, nml should complain if it is not allowed to multiply a returned value by some factor
16:00:16 <Alberth> although you should probably do 13 * other_switch / 10
16:00:39 <supermop_home> is that a programming thing in general?
16:01:06 <Alberth> alternatively, you can perhaps do a (on_elrd ? 1 : 1.3)
16:01:33 <Alberth> newgrf only do integers, and first multiply and then divide gives the best precision
16:01:54 <supermop_home> i have a switch that checks every known electric road label
16:02:52 <Alberth> can you store a switch return value in a register?
16:03:28 <supermop_home> i don't know what that means, but I couldn't find in documentation how to set some constant
16:04:07 <Alberth> just return the value, afaik
16:04:50 <Alberth> maybe you can even use the parameter itself, don't know how it's value is decided
16:04:59 <Alberth> perhaps just 0, 1, ... ?
16:05:12 <Alberth> so (10 + param * 3) :)
16:27:05 <supermop_home> ok now need to make a new batch of sprites so I can compile this and test it

16:43:29 *** Progman has joined #openttd
17:04:35 <supermop_home> can I make a non-default?
17:16:51 <Alberth> "You can use the palette name directly." suggests you can use any palette
17:17:28 <Alberth> don't know what happens if you have a different palette though
17:18:15 <Alberth> it might renumber data values if it is smart
17:18:31 *** cosmobird has joined #openttd
17:18:32 <Alberth> why do you use a non-standard palette anyway
