19:51:02 <frosch123> now i always think "o/" looks like a tank"
19:54:11 <ektor> I try to open a game on my dedicated server but I fail, is there some explanations somewhere ?
20:01:38 <ektor> could you give me some informations ?
20:02:09 <frosch123> credit card number etc
20:02:18 <andythenorth> I don't know how to dedicated server
20:03:14 <ektor> I try to host a openttd server
20:04:36 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
20:05:25 *** trendynick has joined #openttd
20:23:28 <Samu> didn't become much simpler :(
20:26:07 <Alberth> as long as you use copy/paste as primary means to handle each case, it won't get simpler, imho
20:27:07 <Alberth> it works, since eventually you can just expand all cases, and solve all of them, but at the cost of very long and repetive code
20:28:44 <Alberth> so the next job is to find pieces of code that is same-ish enough to put in a function, and call that function from several points in the code instead of copy/paste the contents of the function all over the place
20:29:22 <Alberth> ie re-use the function, so you get less lines of code
20:33:11 *** Biolunar has joined #openttd
20:33:20 * andythenorth needs to solve FIRS
20:34:39 <Alberth> just stop changing things?
20:40:34 *** Stimrol has joined #openttd
20:52:02 <andythenorth> I stopped doing FIRS for a bit
20:52:08 <andythenorth> but it seems to not be done
20:53:02 <Wolf01> Shouldn't you be wrecking tanks right now?
20:56:14 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: changing the foundation of a building once you're halfway through building it seems to be a bad idea.
21:02:42 <andythenorth> who's changing foundations?
21:02:49 <andythenorth> I wouldn't advise that
21:07:25 <andythenorth> the current problem is that Steeltown is unplayable for most maps
21:07:33 <andythenorth> it takes 30-40 attempts to get a viable map
21:09:27 <andythenorth> once a viable map is generated, it's good
21:11:28 <andythenorth> I considered trying to force placement in newgrf
21:11:36 <andythenorth> but I'm worried about deadlocking map-gen at game start
21:12:17 <andythenorth> blast furnace needs nearby coke oven, oxygen furnace, limestone mine, iron ore mine
21:12:22 <andythenorth> coke oven needs coal mine
21:12:26 <Wolf01> Tanks, trains... armored train
21:12:40 <andythenorth> luchs tank on that train
21:28:28 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
21:54:08 *** chomwitt has joined #openttd
22:18:28 <supermop> spent all weekend trying to decide between the two
22:20:21 <frosch123> same town? or other coast?
22:39:45 <andythenorth> supermop: same country? o_O
22:45:36 <supermop> one was on the other planet of williamsburg
22:46:08 *** ToffeeYogurtPots has joined #openttd
22:47:58 <supermop> which involves going over the bridge to the end of the ramp, the backtracking 3/4 mile back down to the river bank
22:48:23 <supermop> the other is on the remote planet of 11th avenue
22:49:13 <frosch123> can you use the gravity field of the moon for easier travel?
22:50:01 <Eddi|zuHause> walking? in america? must really be another dimension
23:02:46 <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: i don't even have a monthly metrocard for the subway... currently my commute is just 1.5 miles walk straight up broadway
23:19:43 <supermop> anyway, was the first time in my life where i was able to choose a job based on actually feeling enthusiastic about it
23:19:58 <supermop> instead of just being desperate and taking whatever i could get
23:20:33 <frosch123> i totally fail to understand how the french number their roads
23:20:50 *** ToffeeYogurtPots has quit IRC
23:21:35 <frosch123> there are just multiple "D<number>" with the same number all over the country
23:23:24 <Rubidium> but probably only one per Department
23:25:03 <frosch123> but that is not helpful in geoguessr
23:26:43 *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
23:35:27 <ektor> lol, i'm french :) for me it's logic
23:35:48 <ektor> the road have the same number all along
23:37:17 <ektor> is someone could help me understand how to host a game ?
23:37:43 <supermop> maybe frosch123 will if you help him understand the road numbering?
23:37:46 <ektor> I have a dedicated server
23:38:05 <supermop> you're further along than me then
23:38:25 *** ToBeFree has joined #openttd
23:38:35 <ektor> and the D is for departement
23:40:16 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
continue to next day ⏵
