00:46:34 <supermop_Home_> we need to buy some kind of wifi extender thing
00:47:14 <supermop_Home_> <500 square foot apartment but still barely functional wifi in two of the rooms

02:46:55 <Eddi|zuHause> (but you might get more interference from neighbours, as well)

11:54:59 *** D-HUND is now known as debdog
11:58:19 <Samu> I had a random idea for disasters
11:58:40 <Samu> instead of just a period
11:58:46 <Samu> as a game setting, of course
12:32:53 <Samu> lel, 1 disaster every tick :p
12:35:19 <Eddi|zuHause> might be a bad time to browse for new cities:skylines mods, while the old mods aren't all updated yet?!?
12:40:31 <Samu> sumbarines aren't spawning, but maybe?
12:48:05 <LordAro> Samu: submarines only start spawning after a certain date, iirc?
12:48:11 <LordAro> you'd need to check the code
12:48:22 <LordAro> you never know, it might have something on it
12:48:48 <Samu> no, i just figured out, they can only spawn from the NW or SE borders with water
12:48:59 <Samu> the map didn't have that
13:02:44 <Samu> i can raise land where a submarine is located
13:03:46 <Samu> they get burried on land
13:12:14 <Wolf01> <Eddi|zuHause> might be a bad time to browse for new cities:skylines mods, while the old mods aren't all updated yet?!? <- yes
13:12:50 <Wolf01> Also: I'm not able to make a working city anymore... not even starting O_o
13:39:00 *** arikover has joined #openttd
14:03:52 *** snail_UES_ has joined #openttd
14:26:56 <Eddi|zuHause> as far as i can see, the only really critical mod would be MOM
14:27:16 <Eddi|zuHause> which was to be expected, when they implement half of that mod in the base game
14:28:38 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think i'll be getting this expansion, i've no interest in trolleybusses. the fishing industry might be nice, but i don't have the other industries yet either, and helicopters are probably as silly as blimps
14:30:10 <Eddi|zuHause> costs 55€ to get all DLCs i don't own yet
14:30:20 <Eddi|zuHause> that's a tad much

15:32:43 <supermop_Home_> we seem to need to do laundry even more frequently than normal now
15:39:58 *** nielsm is now known as Guest20515
16:05:41 <Samu> humanity fighting against the inevitable
16:24:16 <Samu> how do I convert a setting that is currently bool into a var
16:24:31 <Samu> disasters are either on or off, i want to add a 3rd option
16:25:20 <Samu> i'd like to keep the same setting name
16:39:29 <nielsm> old setting (bool) is valid from its first version until your change, new setting is valid from your change onward
17:08:08 <Samu> who the heck is writing to settings.h? I can't type stuff in it, it gets deleted
17:17:29 <nielsm> the settings project produces settings.h
17:18:26 *** Progman has joined #openttd
18:03:05 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
18:13:58 <LordAro> someone should look at some PRs
18:20:10 <Wolf01> Where's andy? Why is not he at home?
18:20:40 <frosch123> he ran out of toilet paper
18:20:51 <frosch123> he can't leave "home"
18:24:55 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
18:31:46 <frosch123> i was in downtown earlier today. the ice cream shop had a queue of 50m, though it was not particularly dense
18:36:40 <planetmaker> the weather is exceptionally fine here, too
18:36:58 <frosch123> are you on the iss?
18:37:04 <planetmaker> And yes, there are people outside as well :)
18:37:39 <planetmaker> would currently be a nice place though ;)
18:38:51 <LordAro> can confirm, weather has improved significantly post-lockdown
18:42:46 *** DanMacK has joined #openttd
18:42:57 <Wolf01> Here is getting worse.
18:44:27 <DanMacK> Whereabouts are you Wolf?
18:44:58 <planetmaker> oh, a DanMacK, hello :)
18:45:50 <DanMacK> Oh geex... you guys have been hit insanely hard. Canada's still ramping up it seems
18:46:21 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
18:50:34 <andythenorth> I have been out and looked and plague world (exercise)
18:50:45 <andythenorth> it was still there
18:51:04 <andythenorth> lockdown in full effect
18:51:06 <LordAro> andythenorth: what about the plaque world?
18:51:15 <andythenorth> not sure about that
18:52:30 <Wolf01> <andythenorth> Wolf01 sitrep? <Wolf01> Here is getting worse.
18:52:48 <andythenorth> socially or medically?
18:52:59 <andythenorth> do you mean N. Italy, or all of Italy also?
18:54:58 <andythenorth> does Berlusconi have it?
18:56:09 <Wolf01> Seems not, but we don't give a fuck about him anymore, he's out
18:56:56 <frosch123> does it affect lizards?
18:57:17 *** arikover has joined #openttd
18:57:51 <andythenorth> this is a good question
18:58:06 <LordAro> Prince Charles has it
18:58:16 <andythenorth> Govey Gove doesn't though
18:58:33 <LordAro> BoJo's got it, i can't imagine the rest of the government is far behind
18:58:57 * andythenorth awaits antibody tests
18:59:08 <andythenorth> see if it really has been everywhere since Jan or not
18:59:16 <andythenorth> also, shall we OpenTTD?
18:59:33 <andythenorth> sorry for introducing Covid, I just like to hear from people in Europe, especially Italy
18:59:51 <andythenorth> once or twice a day I read social media, and the freakouts are extensive
18:59:53 <frosch123> andythenorth: obviously it has not. the lethal cases make it obvious
19:00:05 <andythenorth> all this "I have a friend in Italy etc"
19:00:22 <andythenorth> frosch123 yes, there should have been a massive spike in critical admissions
19:00:26 <andythenorth> which wasn't there
19:00:36 <andythenorth> unless it was conflated with seasonal flu
19:01:04 <andythenorth> but we test for flu in critical admissions in the uk, to verify the dominant strain
19:01:46 <andythenorth> so who has voted in the title game comp?
19:02:08 <Wolf01> Still no famine or civil wars here, no shortages except a bit of flour (it seem everyone discovered they can bake stuff at home), also we discovered our Leonardo Da Vinci legacy genes and started to invent stuff like there is no tomorrow (and maybe it is)
19:02:34 <andythenorth> we had the flour shortage, lots of 'well my kids can bake cakes'
19:02:52 <andythenorth> Wolf01 what has been invented? o_O
19:03:33 <frosch123> when i bought pasta (spätzle) yesterday, they only had 1kg packages.
19:03:43 <frosch123> i would have expected that the big ones were gone first
19:03:49 <andythenorth> so we have an interesting UK situation
19:03:56 <frosch123> or maybe they only bothered restocking the big ones?
19:04:10 <andythenorth> there are mountains of restaurant / cafe / school food stocks
19:04:19 <Wolf01> We are converting decathlon snorkel masks to supply ICU units
19:05:21 <andythenorth> Wolf01 I read some stuff a month ago about 2009 swine flu in US, which was actually really bad, but not as bad as expected, so we forgot
19:05:39 <andythenorth> stories from medical workers about re-inventing ventilator systems on the fly etc
19:06:15 <Wolf01> Yeah, we are even tieing 2 people to the same ventilator
19:11:30 <andythenorth> yes they did that in the US in 2009
19:11:45 <andythenorth> there has to be a specific valve to prevent backflow
19:13:16 <Samu> I needed a bool _old_disasters;
19:13:29 <Samu> and a extern bool _old_disasters;
19:13:32 <Wolf01> Oh, I thought the valve ;)
19:19:54 <Knogle> Hm, is the "Starting Company Color" setting supposed to work in 1.9.3 ? Because it isn't working for me :)
19:25:06 <LordAro> Knogle: if the setting is there, it's supposed to work :)
19:29:33 <Knogle> It doesn't work, I get a random color everytime.
19:32:04 <Knogle> Cool, everyone went away to test it. :P
19:32:23 <Wolf01> So, which 10 games should I chose from Humble Choices?
19:33:46 <Samu> I'm bad with names, need some help
19:33:54 <frosch123> "humble choice" is a weird way to refer to the titlescreen competition
19:34:13 <LordAro> Samu: stop posting blocks of code into irc
19:34:19 <LordAro> this is your final warning
19:34:19 <Wolf01> That too, I forgot to vote
19:35:12 <LordAro> Samu: and for the nth time, the person reviewing whatever you write can decide whether you came up with a bad name, you don't need to worry about it before then
19:45:52 <DorpsGek_III_> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)
19:48:32 <Wolf01> Ok, hoarded other 7 free (100% discount) games on steam
19:52:15 <TrueBrain> Wolf01: free?! WHERE?!?!?! :D
19:53:17 <TrueBrain> Steam tends to be big :P
19:53:46 <Wolf01> Should I spam you in PM?
19:53:53 <TrueBrain> I was wondering more how you find these :P
19:54:27 <Wolf01> I have a website with RSS feed still active and every day I find offers
19:54:40 <TrueBrain> silly, 100% discount :P
19:54:45 <TrueBrain> any good games, or all just garbage?
19:55:20 <TrueBrain> I found mindustry, which is a cool game .. and only 5 euros :)
19:55:21 <Wolf01> One was a DLC for a free game, I discarded that
19:55:33 *** arikover has joined #openttd

21:25:23 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
21:47:31 <Samu> hmm there is still a bug with my AI that prevents it from building air routes :(
22:10:53 <Samu> typical, I can't reproduce it
continue to next day ⏵
