05:23:22 <qwebirc86530> Hi, anyone there?
05:23:49 <qwebirc86530> I was considering that using an in-game cryptocurrency would be cool, and saving the game onto a blockchain.
05:25:47 <qwebirc86530> It would maybe be a fork, as it would be quite different.
05:26:01 <qwebirc86530> OpenTTD would be a great testing-ground for it.
05:29:09 <qwebirc86530> Plus stock in the companies within an OpenTTD game could be tradable on that blockchain.

07:11:05 <Eddi|zuHause> we should totally reimplement multiplayer as a blockchain, never desync again...

08:38:41 <andythenorth> Pikka: other than 'smaller', what should NG trains do for UK horse? o_O
08:50:12 <andythenorth> V453000: all code generated? o_O
09:35:22 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
10:30:28 <peter1138> That moment when you git checkout . instead of git reset .
10:42:34 <peter1138> Hmm, well, no point in me doing a patch...
10:42:47 <peter1138> Although I suspect that's a patch on top of cirdan's patch, not standalone.
13:35:12 *** sim-al2 has joined #openttd
14:02:12 *** markyisri has joined #openttd
14:02:50 <markyisri> does someone have the power to fix that?
14:05:08 <__ln__> does that require any more power than being a registered user and not having a permanent ban on the wiki?

15:27:42 <andythenorth> lo supermop_work_
15:35:32 <supermop_work_> how are the horses
15:37:24 <andythenorth> so one roster of wagons and coaches for NG
15:37:36 <andythenorth> and then a new engine every ~40 years?
15:37:43 <andythenorth> and mumble mumble railcars
15:39:08 <andythenorth> but I dunno about 'small' and 'large' engines
15:39:33 <andythenorth> Horse 1 NG starts at 350HP and progresses to 900HP over time
15:39:50 <Eddi|zuHause> there have been plenty of NG railcars
15:40:01 <andythenorth> ah that's the other question
15:40:11 <andythenorth> do I stick to 'UK and Ireland'?
15:40:36 <andythenorth> for which there are just enough prototypes or 'might have beens' for a roster
15:40:36 <Eddi|zuHause> i can't answer that
15:40:52 <andythenorth> or do I expand it to something oddball like Corsica, or Finland?
15:41:10 <andythenorth> I think probably UK + Eire, and just invent for any gaps
15:42:28 *** Alberth has joined #openttd
15:42:28 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alberth
16:21:27 <andythenorth> peter1138: depends if it's mergeable :D

17:14:24 *** qwebirc95544 has joined #openttd
17:18:55 <qwebirc95544> I closed the browser window, missed the responses anyone wrote about cryptocurrency. Any chance someone would paste it back or email me?
17:19:27 <qwebirc95544> not sure that I can get the icq history through webchat.oftc.net :(
17:19:47 <peter1138> I doubt you can get anything about ICQ from IRC.
17:20:06 <peter1138> But no, there was no response.

20:00:30 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
20:05:41 <Pikka> what's the "correct" place to put a ship depot?
20:06:21 <Wolf01> Near the dock, along the route so the ship doesn't take weird turns
20:06:37 <Wolf01> Also one near the middle of the route
20:06:40 <andythenorth> Pikka: next to a straight piece of shore, or 1 tile offshore
20:06:48 <andythenorth> at the dock where the route starts
20:07:30 *** Thedarkb has joined #openttd
20:08:31 <andythenorth> oops, 'dock' should be 'depot' :P
20:08:36 <Pikka> what about facing out from the coast, andythenorth? especially in towns?
20:08:53 <andythenorth> you might have reasons I didn't think of
20:09:47 <andythenorth> GO PLAY WITH BARBIE
20:09:56 <andythenorth> oh is this not World of Tanks?
20:10:37 <andythenorth> I wouldn't mind if they'd sent abusive spam like..."You are clearly 40 years old and your reaction times were always poor anyway"
20:10:43 <andythenorth> "Maybe give up and play Farmville"
20:11:01 <andythenorth> but no it was always "STUPID KID ON RICH DADDYS ACCOUNT"
20:11:41 <andythenorth> well that's like £100 of tanks I'm not using
20:11:44 <andythenorth> and no secondary market :P
20:12:13 <Pikka> microtransactions in OpenTTD, we'll all be rich
20:12:19 <andythenorth> did we add crypto yet?
20:12:30 <andythenorth> we can get rich in non-transferrable virtual currency
20:13:07 <andythenorth> so Horse narrow gauge gives you 4 engines and 2 railcars
20:13:10 <andythenorth> you'll love it :P
20:13:18 <andythenorth> that's probably 2 too many
20:14:10 <Pikka> what's their special power? being small?
20:16:29 <andythenorth> not sure which arbitrary length rules to impose :P
20:32:26 <andythenorth> can I actually read 'wagonspeedlimits' ?
20:32:38 <andythenorth> and what does 'Speed increase for empty wagons' have to do with it? o_O
20:51:48 <andythenorth> wondering if I should try and hide wagons
20:51:53 <andythenorth> if speed limits are off
20:51:57 <andythenorth> V453000 was traumatised
20:52:46 <V453000> well it looks proper wtf without them :P
20:52:52 <V453000> just couldn't tell the difference
20:53:31 <V453000> btw I think the engine-engine connecting still breaks on maximum speed
20:53:50 <V453000> as that doesn't add up, just subtract
21:04:57 <Pikka> andythenorth, I vaguely remember mb catching flack for "enforcing" wagon speed limits by checking the parameter. if people want to play with wagon speedlimits off, let them.
21:05:35 <V453000> andythenorth: just activate secret corrupted-like index recolour tables :P
21:06:14 <andythenorth> Pikka: I was going to just remove all the spurious wagons if wagon speed limits are off
21:06:23 <andythenorth> no point in 6 identical wagons :P
21:06:45 <V453000> just move them to NO_CLIMATE so that it doesn't fuck up saves
21:06:59 <Pikka> is there much point in 6 wagons identical except speed limit? :P
21:07:01 <V453000> I do that with nyan cats
21:07:36 <andythenorth> Pikka: it's just the logical consequence of this design :P
21:07:44 <andythenorth> I don't particularly like it, but eh
21:08:02 <andythenorth> every engine generation has to have a wagon upgrade
21:08:34 <andythenorth> the capacity also progresses I guess
21:08:53 <andythenorth> oh actually it doesn't :)
21:09:04 <andythenorth> I worked out that capacity progress is stupid
21:09:32 <V453000> well if they have unique graphics, everyone is happy
21:09:36 <V453000> even people who don't use speed limits
21:10:01 <V453000> Yes I did just ask you to draw 5 times more stuff. :D
21:10:18 <andythenorth> they are unique, but not that unique
21:10:29 <andythenorth> if they're unique, they don't look the same
21:10:34 <andythenorth> and looking the same is kind of the point
21:11:04 <V453000> if it works different, looking different sounds like a reasonable fit :P
21:11:27 <andythenorth> depends on 'different'
21:12:13 <andythenorth> from what I've drawn, I already know that people can't tell hopper and dump cars apart
21:12:34 <andythenorth> and they're quite different
21:12:44 <andythenorth> so the small differences I've drawn won't be noticed by some/many
21:13:22 <andythenorth> I think the whole concept is quite flawed tbh
21:13:30 <andythenorth> but I've pushed it extreme conclusion
21:14:02 <V453000> I want to try it at least :) just need to find time :)
21:14:22 <andythenorth> it's not done yet
21:14:40 <V453000> well if numbers are done, it's enough for now :P
21:15:28 <andythenorth> 3 generations, and integer lengths
21:15:40 <andythenorth> and 2 liveries for pax, and 2 for mail
21:15:54 <andythenorth> and 3 random variants for mail
21:16:04 <V453000> they're recognizably different
21:16:10 <andythenorth> and opening doors
21:16:56 <andythenorth> yeah about 128 individual mail car sprites
21:17:20 <andythenorth> and 4 views for each
21:17:33 <andythenorth> thing is, one you've seen a NUTS spritesheet, it doesn't look much
21:28:24 <Wolf01> Eddi|zuHause: patch for TF, seem a bit better, 60fps for sure now
21:29:43 <Wolf01> Also no more freezes on month change, and that's a big improvement
21:42:46 *** supermop_work_ has quit IRC

21:53:27 <andythenorth> 2/8 is daft in the \ / views
21:54:52 <andythenorth> 3/8 is minimum viable :)
