IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2018-01-24
⏴ go to previous day
00:05:14 <Wormnest> Needs an extra != null check before using it in a function
00:08:07 <Samu> uh... well, i can't code
00:10:09 <Samu> even if i could, i'm unable to upload the fixed code to bananas
00:10:18 <Samu> the online downloader stuff
00:12:55 <Samu> a bit too late to the party though
00:13:37 <Wormnest> It´s gpl2 you can release it under a new name
00:14:28 <Samu> Chopper vs Helifery should be fun to watch
00:14:46 <Samu> oh, but that's what I don't want to do
00:15:01 <Samu> i wanted to upload under Teshinet, if I was able to fix it
00:15:25 <Samu> not creating another teshinet clone :(
00:15:37 <Wormnest> Contact the author on the forum if he wants to transfer ownership
00:15:56 <Samu> erm, im not even sure i can fix it :o
00:16:44 <Wormnest> Oh well too bad then
00:18:40 <Samu> i'm not confident enough to do such a thing :|
00:20:56 <Wormnest> Problem also being that then you would be responsible for keeping the ai up to date
00:21:09 <ST2> we, at BTPro, use ~12 plugins, and a couple of them are 5K+ code lines - only to give commands in servers and so on
00:21:29 <ST2> sadly no time to go into AI's - already too much to mantain :S
00:21:55 <ST2> and that's why I admire all work people put on AI's and GS's :)
00:22:06 <Wormnest> Even though in most cases ai crashes are fairly simple to fix
00:22:36 <Wormnest> But lots of little things together and it gets out of hand fast :p
00:23:39 <ST2> I think Samu is testing all AI's to see what are the best with RV's, planes, trains and ships
00:23:46 <Wormnest> I have local fixes for a few ais but what´s the use posting it nobody will use it unless its on bananas
00:23:58 <ST2> later he'll build a major AI using the best parts of each one xD
00:24:32 <Wormnest> And then he will notice that slapping things together doesn´t necessarily make it the best ai
00:25:17 <Samu> behave like you're AdmiraAI now, for xx ticks
00:25:28 <Samu> now behave like you're... AIAI
00:26:05 <ST2> well, a couple IF's and ELSES would do the trick xD
00:26:55 <Wormnest> But you only want the good parts of an ai but usually the less good parts are not easy to cut out without changing the whole ai workings
00:27:43 <Samu> CluelessPlus is calling its aircraft of buses
00:28:31 <Wormnest> That sentence doesnt make sense to me
00:29:21 <Samu> seems that he slapped aircraft support on top of his bus code
00:29:45 <ST2> btw Samu: next time we organize a Tourny, can I invite you to join... only to report each player's actions with the same enthusiasm?
00:30:06 <Samu> erh... they don't have a log to read :(
00:30:26 <ST2> there's always the Watch Window - even better xD

20:00:15 <DorpsGek> andythenorth: alberth was last seen in #openttd 1 day, 3 hours, 27 minutes, and 41 seconds ago: <Alberth> o/
20:03:18 <Samu> gonna start dissecting the "large airplane on short runway" patch into smaller patch pieces for commit or whatever
20:03:37 <Samu> for alberth, if he's still interested
20:09:46 *** TrueBrain has joined #openttd
20:14:11 <supermop_work> i think i need to get rid of road trains
20:18:36 <supermop_work> also steeltown makes me want better foundry transports, and trams with ladles for slag and metal
20:20:27 <andythenorth> going to do that in Road Hog...eventually
20:20:44 <andythenorth> need an NRT conclusion first
20:38:20 <supermop_work> i end up using my little industrial trams as belts
20:38:34 <supermop_work> to abuse station ratings
20:56:31 <supermop_work> with only the open wagons they feel a bit silly for some uses, but i already have such an explosion of vehicles
20:57:11 <Samu> i don't know how to make a patch-chain
20:57:54 <Samu> i can't tell tortoisesvn to create a patch against trunk, but to create it against my work, how do i do this
21:00:04 <Samu> who's familiar with tortoise?
21:04:56 <john-aj> perhaps you could use a separate tool? like `diff'
21:05:34 <LordAro> Samu: svn isn't good at patch queues
21:05:53 <john-aj> are you on windows? i don't know what tools there are there
21:05:53 <LordAro> you'll likely want something like hg or git
21:06:24 <john-aj> yeah, i'd recommend that too :-)
21:07:30 <LordAro> (helpfully for you, tortoisehg & tortoisegit also exist)
21:09:50 *** chomwitt has joined #openttd

21:16:38 <andythenorth> I am bored of tanks

21:58:53 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
22:22:11 <Samu> LordAro: hi again, which one is easier for a noob like me? tortoisehg or tortoisegit?
22:24:11 <LordAro> that is a very good question
22:24:22 <LordAro> for ottd, it's almost entirely subjective
22:24:35 <LordAro> mercurial is probably on the easier side
22:25:21 <LordAro> you'll really want to do some reading first
22:25:29 <LordAro> as much as i know you're resistant to doing so
22:26:23 <Samu> yeah, reading kinda sucks, unless it goes straight to the point
22:26:54 <Samu> alright, installing tortoisehg, brb
22:29:09 <LordAro> turns out that learning involves knowing more than just very specific things
22:29:39 <Samu> do i need tortoisesvn installed prior? or it's standalone?
22:29:53 <Samu> whatever, i'm installing it
22:30:07 <Samu> if shit happens i can always restore
22:30:35 <LordAro> you don't even know what hg is, do you?
22:31:05 <Samu> something that let's me patch stuff better, i guess
22:31:05 <LordAro> seriously, just a cursory glance at some documentation would make things orders of magnitude easier for you
22:31:29 <supermop_work> this is taking me back to 2010 when i accidentally somehow fucked my registry by blindly installing tortoise stuff
22:31:38 <supermop_work> with no understanding
22:31:45 <LordAro> that does sound rather strange
22:32:13 <supermop_work> as the computer was 5 years old i eventually just bought a new computer, and last i checked, that laptop is still kind of fucked
22:32:22 <Samu> must restart windows, k brb
22:32:37 <LordAro> this is not going to go well for him
22:33:25 <ST2> well, soon to expect an explosion of questions about hg xD
22:34:09 <supermop_work> well probably he wont go as far as needing to buy a new computer at least
22:36:16 <john-aj> mercurial is good, but for someone who doesn't seem to know what a version control system even is, i'd suppose that git is a better option, just because it's more popular
22:37:31 <john-aj> probably more documentation that's easier to grasp
22:38:58 *** Laedek_ has joined #openttd
22:39:44 <LordAro> yeah, could've gone either way really
22:41:12 <Samu> erm, apparently i need to clone something
22:42:26 <Samu> alright, time to go read wtf tortoise hg is for
22:45:17 *** Supercheese has joined #openttd
22:50:01 <Samu> that's it, i have no idea what I just installed lol
22:50:28 <Samu> looks like i still need tortoise svn to download a repository? that I can clone with tortoise hg?
22:50:38 <Samu> am i saying something stupid?
22:51:44 <Samu> how do i download that into my computer?
22:52:51 <LordAro> broadly similarly to how you "downloaded" the svn checkout onto your computer
22:53:16 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
22:59:21 *** Gustavo6046 has joined #openttd
22:59:27 <Samu> alright, seems more complicated than i thought
23:01:49 <Samu> damn brazillian portuguese GARBAGE...
23:02:09 <Samu> i hate it when they default programs to my sys language
23:02:37 <LordAro> i'd imagine it's a reasonable default
23:07:25 *** sim-al2 has joined #openttd
23:07:45 <LordAro> Samu: well why not set it as your system language?
23:11:41 <Samu> i prefer my OS in portuguese, and some programs too, but not all, I don't like automatic decisions
23:21:29 <Samu> what files? the directory is completely empty
23:23:05 <LordAro> you've created a brand new repo
23:23:07 <Samu> it's the only file i find
23:23:33 <LordAro> whereas you (probably) want to copy the existing openttd repo
23:24:05 <LordAro> get rid of that folder, and skip ahead to 4.8
23:24:08 <LordAro> (then go back to 4.4)
23:25:24 <Samu> i knew i shouldn't have uninstalled tortoise svn
23:25:52 <Samu> i thought this thing would fetch it on its own
23:26:01 <LordAro> uninstalling tortoisesvn shouldn't have removed anything
23:26:08 <LordAro> besides, it can fetch on its own
23:26:14 <LordAro> the documentation is a little unclear there
23:26:26 <LordAro> (just use the trunk.hg url above instead of a path)
23:31:56 <Samu> what a welcoming message, a eints fix by me
23:32:35 <Samu> this is what I see so far
23:33:13 <LordAro> assuming you want to know how to add new files to the repo
23:33:27 <LordAro> i'd read the rest of the document before doing any more
