17:28:32 <peter1138> When automated certificate renewal is not automated...
17:30:08 <nielsm> annoying, either OneDrive/O365 has really been broken for a full day, or they really don't like the files I'm uploading
17:34:03 <nielsm> am I understanding right that the TileLoop runs on 1/256th of all tiles on the map every tick, rotating so it visits every tile exactly one across 256 ticks?
17:35:06 <nielsm> my actual problem is wanting to branch differently every second visit to a tile
17:35:53 <nielsm> so I was thinking (_tick_counter&512)==0 for example
17:36:43 <nielsm> looks like other parts of the code is doing similar things

18:42:42 <nielsm> frosch123: I did get convinced the map array counting is pointless and took it out again
18:43:48 <nielsm> and did some more experimentation with the bitcounting stuff, and found what I think produces good results
20:40:22 * andythenorth pastes some html into a page
20:40:27 <andythenorth> to avoid angering TrueBrain
20:52:29 <nielsm> (simulating 2000 tile ticks of generating passengers for houses of pop 75 and 150, showing distribution of number of passengers generated in one tile tick)

21:32:39 <andythenorth> it's a worthwhile problem
21:32:53 <andythenorth> can't comment on the best fix though :|
21:38:04 <nielsm> I prefer my own binomial distribution (just had to look up and be corrected) version, since it gives a more even flow
21:44:16 <andythenorth> will this help with the overflowing cities issue?
21:44:26 <andythenorth> above about 2k popn. stations can't be cleared
21:44:35 <nielsm> city stations having uncontrollable amounts of passengers?
21:44:39 <nielsm> that's exactly what it does
21:44:46 <nielsm> it also makes small towns more viable
21:59:04 <nielsm> town living up to its name, "Tardhead", doing retarded things like replacing all buildings with parks and statues and dropping from 1050 to 528 pop
