14:05:25  <supermop_Home_> quiet 23 hours

14:05:45  <Eddi|zuHause> and you broke it

14:13:57  *** cHawk has joined #openttd

14:15:13  <_dp_> this game is dead!!

14:21:51  <argoneus> it's amazing how this game is like 23 years old technically

14:22:13  <argoneus> and there still isn't any other game that captures the feel of ttd

14:22:29  <argoneus> though i haven't played train fever so maybe that one is

14:22:36  <argoneus> but people don't seem to like it much (?)

17:18:19  <argoneus> well same point

17:28:40  *** longtomjr has joined #openttd

17:29:44  <longtomjr> Good day all. Is there a way to load a large amount of data into a variable (or the global table) using gamescripts?

17:30:22  <longtomjr> I am trying to alter world generation (spesicfically tree generation) using a gamescript. Is there other ways I can go about this?

17:36:57  *** Wormnest has joined #openttd

17:42:44  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not quite sure what you're actually asking

17:49:24  <longtomjr> I have an array of coordinates on the map that I would like to place either 1, 2, 3, or 4 trees.

17:49:51  <longtomjr> current treemap is ~ 2k*4k

17:50:24  *** Gustavo6046 has quit IRC

17:53:59  <longtomjr> I already have a way to load the data, but it takes too long and times out

17:55:18  <longtomjr> I have a script that generates a squirrel array with all the coordinates, and then I require that file. However, the game fails to load if I require it during the init loop

17:55:25  <longtomjr> since the gs takes too long to load

17:55:59  <longtomjr> Is there a way to override that temprorarily somehow, force the game to wait untill everything has been loaded?

18:02:43  *** cHawk has quit IRC

18:07:00  *** Gustavo6046 has joined #openttd

18:12:30  <glx> don't do it in init loop then

18:13:47  <glx> you can do it once in the main loop

18:23:00  <longtomjr> Tried that, it still times out

18:23:06  <longtomjr> or gives up loading it rather

18:28:26  <Eddi|zuHause> next step would be splitting up into multiple files, and loading them in subsequent loops. or injecting the data in chunks through the admin port

18:29:10  <Eddi|zuHause> or increasing the AI/GS ticks in the .cfg

18:34:12  *** Progman has joined #openttd

18:35:11  <nielsm> how are the data stored in the squirrel script? as an actual squirrel array of static data, or as a string?

18:35:36  <nielsm> I think perhaps if you store it as a single huge string and parse that string after init it can work

18:47:25  <Timberwolf> Train/Transport Fever are quite fun, but they don't capture that same "I have 300 trains using this station" late-game TTD feeling.

18:49:07  <longtomjr> Eddi|zuHause, I am busy doing Run Length Encoding on the data, and then I can split it and require it on different ticks

18:49:33  <Timberwolf> I prefer their passenger model to cargodist ;), although it still leaves a little to be desired - IMO a blanket "passengers will travel for 20 minutes max, find them destinations" misses out on the crazy long-distance routes.

18:50:00  <longtomjr> also, how do I increase the ticks? If I can make it large enough just for generation I can then set it back afterwards.

18:51:14  <longtomjr> nielsm, Currently storing it as a squirrel array. I can try a string as well and see if that has any benefit. afaik the string is just a char []

18:53:22  <Timberwolf> I hit similar problems with Villages Is Villages, not found anything so big where loading the raw data exceeds the tick count but it only processes the town array once it's up and running.

18:54:54  <Timberwolf> Could you use something like a sparse quadtree rather than a 2D array? (not sure what kind of tree effect you're going for, that might work if you want a few clusters and none elsewhere)

18:56:09  *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd

18:56:52  <longtomjr> Timberwolf, The data is from a PNG that looks like a heightmap

18:57:37  <longtomjr> but it is a treemap, so I have a script that converts it into a squirrel array

18:59:54  <longtomjr> So what I am going to try to do now is have several runs with the RL encoded data for each tree level, and see if that loads

19:00:18  <longtomjr> The only other concern is the overhead of inflating the array again

19:00:34  <longtomjr> and if that can run quickly enough

19:45:51  <DorpsGek_III>   - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)

20:12:49  <longtomjr> update on my treemap situation. dP added the feature to citimania client :)

21:19:25  <nielsm> oh they left, was just about to suggest the real crazy solution: send the treemap data to the GS via admin port

21:20:12  <_dp_> I'll pass it to him on discord xD

21:20:18  <_dp_> though it's kinda solved already
