17:36:31 <supermop_Home> playing an LP of the Our Man Flint score that I found for free
17:36:50 <supermop_Home> ans making a carafe of Yorkshire tea to ice
17:46:34 <andythenorth> vehicle_vehicle_transporter.pynml
17:46:43 <andythenorth> a strictly correct filename, following the pattern :P
17:49:01 <frosch123> would you prefer vehicle_transport_vehicle?
17:49:32 <frosch123> ottd has base_station_base.h
18:06:49 <andythenorth> I've made peace with it
18:17:56 <supermop_Home> try new firs, get lunch, or keep cleaning?
18:24:39 <supermop_Home> dumplings, bagel, or pho?
18:24:51 <supermop_Home> take out pho kind of a pain tho

20:08:48 <Wolf01> andythenorth: I got stuck on a loop of videos about model trains in 1:32 scale from marklin
20:13:10 <Wolf01> That stuff cost a bit... the crocodile one is 3500€ (I got there from the lego one)
20:25:35 <andythenorth> JGR should get a medal

20:41:43 <frosch123> they package a pair of gloves?
20:51:46 <frosch123> i don't think that qualifies as a toy
21:06:40 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
21:31:08 <Eddi|zuHause> Wolf01: to paraphrase one of the comments below the video on that same topic: "yes, but there exist cars that cost multiples of your car"
21:31:47 <Wolf01> One could buy the real thing from a scrap yard for that price
21:32:20 <Eddi|zuHause> i don't think so
21:32:42 <Eddi|zuHause> these are typically preserved museum engines
21:36:42 <nielsm> I'm disappointed it doesn't have a water heater to generate actual steam exhaust
21:38:23 <andythenorth> radio controlled live steam exists I think
21:39:39 <nielsm> also I'm not sure what the standard is, but when he drives it the motors seem to produce uneven torque at low speed, in a way that I don't recall seeing in actual steam locos
21:43:17 <Eddi|zuHause> in the comments they mention that the producer isn't an expert in software stuff, and someone else has reworked the decoder to make smoother engine operation
21:44:04 <Eddi|zuHause> (also less noise)
21:54:02 <frosch123> nielsm: real steam at that scale is barely visible
21:55:02 <frosch123> you need to lift the entire lid of a saucepan to make reasonable smoke

22:18:20 <Boingo> Is there an easier way to spread out busses, that maybe isn't perfect, but is easier than timetables. Even after following the instructions, they still bunch up. This part of the games just isn't fun for me, and I just "want it to work".
22:18:42 <Boingo> I am ok wih sub optimal solutions, as long as they sorta work and don't take so much effort
22:18:52 <Boingo> thanks in advance for suggestions
22:19:32 <Eddi|zuHause> what i usually do is let them run a full loop to record the timetable, then extend the wait times at the end stations so they can catch up delays
22:19:53 <Eddi|zuHause> .. and then use the ctrl+click on "start time" button to spread them out
22:21:27 <Eddi|zuHause> the stations with the longer wait times should have the possibility to overtake, a late vehicle tends to get stuck behind an on-time one
22:26:35 <snail_UES_> andythenorth: still interested in car models from 1895 to today?
22:27:43 <andythenorth> snail_UES_ yes pls
22:28:11 <snail_UES_> alright, I’ll send them over on the forums through a PM
22:28:22 <snail_UES_> I also included matching car bodies :)
22:28:45 <snail_UES_> hope they work with your scale… they work fine with my NG wagons
22:29:46 <andythenorth> Boingo try a rate limiting station
22:30:08 <andythenorth> have one station on the route that is small (one stop) and tell buses to wait there 5-10 days
22:30:19 <andythenorth> it controls the rate of release, so they space
22:30:38 <andythenorth> I don't understand all the timetable stuff it's weird
22:42:33 <b_jonas> or maybe make the bus full load at the one station where there's usually the most passengers waiting
22:50:37 <Boingo> Eddi|zuHause: I am missing where to find the overtake option. I have done all the ctrl+click per the instructions.
22:51:02 <Eddi|zuHause> overtaking is tricky to achieve
22:51:11 <Boingo> andythenorth: I set all the stations to 5 days.
22:52:21 <Eddi|zuHause> if they're not articulated vehicles, you can use drive-in (instead of drive-through) stations
23:00:02 <snail_UES_> andythenorth: sent
continue to next day ⏵
