IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2020-08-22
⏴ go to previous day
00:00:23 <FLHerne> There are a few good 32bpp vehicle sets
00:00:51 <FLHerne> What's missing is a proper "high detail" 32bpp/EZ baseset
00:01:18 <FLHerne> zBase is very minimal, and other things like Ben Robbins' tiles are far from complete
00:01:34 <GT> Yes, we have zBase, but it does not quite match the style of the original game.
00:01:54 <FLHerne> If anything, it matches the style of the original game too well :p
00:02:23 <GT> Not sure, I think it is much too "clean"
00:02:33 <FLHerne> It looks weirdly like that 3D Playstation version of original TT
00:03:14 <GT> But many 32bpp tars existed for my patch, and most still are not converted to .grf
00:03:47 <GT> Even with Rubidiums script hardly anyone made an effort to convert.
00:04:10 <FLHerne> GT: ISTR that got bogged down in licensing issues
00:04:47 <FLHerne> Most of the 32bpp sprites on the old subforum were never posted with a proper license, and the ones that were had several incompatible ones
00:05:23 <FLHerne> So they could be converted, but no-one would have rights to distribute the resulting grf
00:06:52 <GT> True, but even many of the properly licenced ones are still not converted.
00:07:32 <GT> though I have seen a CZ set on the forums that is getting quite complete. Not sure about the license there
00:32:28 <Gustavo6046> Why not use a palette?
00:32:36 <Gustavo6046> Besides, that way some colors can be dynamically changed
00:32:54 <Gustavo6046> Like company colours, or cargo load indicator lights of some sort.
00:33:25 <_dp_> GT, even authors of CZ set don't seem to be sure considering the recent drama when it turned out they used GPL inappropriately :p

05:51:13 <Gustavo6046> Can town buildings grow in tiles adjacent diagonally from roads, or only orthogonally anyway?
05:52:59 <Gustavo6046> Also, sorry for late comment, but
05:53:02 <Gustavo6046> 05:29 <andythenorth> maybe a parameter for how many parameters
05:53:09 <Gustavo6046> aka the Settings window dropdown? :P
05:53:19 <Gustavo6046> That is... not a novel idea in any manner.
05:55:14 <Gustavo6046> Anyway, I never really found much of an use for helicopters.
05:55:23 <Gustavo6046> Except maybe short-distance passenger and mail transport.
05:55:30 <Gustavo6046> ....which buses already do anyway?

10:27:21 <_dp_> Gustavo6046, generally houses can't grow diagonally but there is an exception for corners.

11:01:20 <frosch123> reddit found alcohol valley after 8 years
11:02:00 <frosch123> Wolf01: that's an 1 hour movie
11:02:21 <frosch123> and the music sounds like frostpunk
11:02:35 *** Progman has joined #openttd
11:03:14 <Wolf01> <frosch123> Wolf01: that's an 1 hour movie <- oh, I didn't notice :O now I have to watch it to the end
11:04:16 <Wolf01> I need to pay attention to the small numbers in thumbnails, they should tell the length and not some random values
11:04:42 <frosch123> they were broken some time ago. didn't check whther they still are
11:06:01 <Wolf01> I would like a documentary like this on the abandoned railways in my area, I know at least 2 of them and the story of another one never build (there's a road there now)
11:09:01 <frosch123> it's weird that even the remaining track is single-rail

11:30:48 * andythenorth going to see Sonic
11:34:20 <TrueBrain> it might have passed you
12:00:22 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
12:00:45 <TrueBrain> it went by with a flash, I guess
12:02:38 <TrueBrain> we have a server that had 533 different IPs during its lifetime .. that is impressive :)

19:19:11 <Econhero> I have sent a email to join translations in july. I havent got a reply. Should I send another one?
19:21:57 <Gustavo6046> Back, good afternoon!
19:22:15 <Gustavo6046> you mean street corners?
19:23:27 <frosch123> Econhero: no, translator applications will change entirely in near future
19:27:04 <Econhero> Great. Will there be a announcement regarding the change in website?
19:28:42 <frosch123> yes, otherwise there would be no translators at all anymore
19:29:09 *** Progman has joined #openttd
19:30:29 <frosch123> all authentication and authorisation stuff is moved to github, so there won't be any accounts on openttd.org anymore
19:36:05 <Econhero> frosch123: Thanks. I will wait till the change is completed.
19:42:30 <andythenorth> 15 trains to draw
19:42:41 <andythenorth> 483 trains in UK roster
19:43:01 <andythenorth> are we selling disk size, or disk logical size?
19:44:29 <Econhero> frosch123: after the github transistion, the process would be like I can edit the lang file in my fork and then submit my pull request. or are you planning any other way?
19:52:22 <glx> no still via webtranslator
19:52:34 <glx> but way easier for us to manage access
20:10:10 *** bustrainplane has joined #openttd
20:26:23 <Gustavo6046> andythenorth: horse?
20:26:39 <Gustavo6046> What would the breakdown of an actually horse-powered vehicle mean?
20:26:43 <Gustavo6046> The horse died and needs to be replaced? :P
20:27:11 <Gustavo6046> Or maybe the wooden wheel cracked/crookened from bumps in the road and needs to be replaced to avoid causalities.
20:27:48 <Gustavo6046> Like the carriage's own weight crushing the weared wheels and crashing onto the ground.
20:33:25 <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] JGRennison opened issue #8297: Road type convert tool incorrectly updates infrastructure totals for: bridges, tunnels, depots, road stops https://git.io/JUvE9
20:39:46 <Timberwolf> The horse has made a sputtering noise and started emitting clouds of thick black smoke, which I think would also be cause to stop a horse-powered service in real life.
20:41:55 <Gustavo6046> Ah, yeah, good point Timberwolf
21:05:31 <FLHerne> Gustavo6046: It even explains the smoke
21:19:43 <Gustavo6046> Rock Style 3 > Rock Style 2, change my mind
