IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2020-12-31
⏴ go to previous day
00:07:18 <supermop_Home> Timberwolf did foster work on locomotion? its nearly all rendered then clamped sprites?
00:09:20 <Timberwolf> Yes, it was all of Chris Sawyer's long-term collaborators.
00:09:56 <Timberwolf> The rendering-and-clamping approach came from Roller Coaster Tycoon.
00:10:11 <supermop_Home> somehow it works a little better there
00:10:25 <Timberwolf> I think RCT has a better palette, and also more hand-drawn art.
00:10:44 <Timberwolf> The vehicles, rides and some buildings are rendered, a lot of the rest is still pixel art.
00:10:45 <supermop_Home> which is odd as nearly everything in rct has color masking
00:13:34 <supermop_Home> i need to figure out which brick colors can be recolored to which stone colors

09:48:12 <Timberwolf> I need a test FIRS where every industry produces all of its possible outputs at a constant rate.
09:49:13 <Eddi|zuHause> in a normal grf, that would be an easy change, but in FIRS' concoction of layered template engines... dunno
09:50:05 <Timberwolf> Concoctions of layered template engines are the way forward.
09:50:08 <Eddi|zuHause> would be easier to make a test game where you set up the industries in close proximity and build a simple supply chain
09:50:34 <Timberwolf> Heh. I have one of those, then I realised I need to change GRF ID. :)
09:51:08 <Timberwolf> "Simple" is not such a thing when you're testing the end outputs of Steeltown.
09:51:15 <Eddi|zuHause> so, delete all the industries, change GRF, rebuild the industries?
09:57:28 <andythenorth> Timberwolf fork?
09:57:42 <andythenorth> what are you testing for exactly? :)
09:58:21 <andythenorth> pff "in a normal grf, that would be an easy change, but in FIRS' concoction of layered template engines... dunno"
09:58:28 <andythenorth> shall we just think that one through for a moment :P
09:59:37 <Timberwolf> andythenorth: Mostly seeing how variable load states and randomised cargo colours look in game.
09:59:38 <Eddi|zuHause> well, it could be one of two things: 1) it's a one-line change buried deep in some configuration file, or 2) you're getting horribly lost trying to find that file/line, which may or may not exist
09:59:45 * andythenorth wonders about sending Eddi|zuHause the raw nml to try that :)
10:00:04 <andythenorth> Timberwolf are they all implemented as cargo layers?
10:00:19 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: i don't think the generated nml counts as "normal GRF"
10:00:38 <Timberwolf> andythenorth: Yeah, sprite stacks for all the cargo.
10:00:53 <andythenorth> Timberwolf I feel your pain, this is why I generate all the cargos into the vehicle :P
10:01:03 <andythenorth> setting up games to test cargos...nah
10:01:41 <andythenorth> can you do it in the compile?
10:01:56 <andythenorth> i.e. do a test of compositing vehicle + sprite, save to disk?
10:02:53 <andythenorth> it's an easy job with e.g. PIL or ImageMagick
10:02:58 <Timberwolf> Probably, it's mainly the in-game test I'm after as a broadband check of "is the right cargo type assigned?" "is the palette remapping good?" "does it work across multiple company colours" etc.
10:03:36 <andythenorth> well I can help you fork FIRS if you need
10:03:54 <andythenorth> 'grf developer mode'
10:04:09 <andythenorth> I put some of the palette remapping into my compile too
10:04:22 <andythenorth> it's just so much easier to eyeball a docs image
10:05:06 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause I concede, there is nothing normal about the generated nml :)
10:05:15 <andythenorth> I could decompile to to nfo maybe?
10:05:18 <andythenorth> that's quite normal
10:06:16 <Eddi|zuHause> it'll still be extremely gargantuan, on account of being the output of a template engine
10:06:53 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause I'm not going to persuade you to patch this manually one industry at a time, am I? :(
10:07:30 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: that's like comparing a disassembly of the windows kernel to the command.com of an early DOS version
10:14:52 <andythenorth> or I can dm you the grf
10:15:23 <Timberwolf> Oh cool. Let me have a go at building it, would be useful to get the build chain going.
10:16:29 <andythenorth> it's mostly just pip install [stuff]
10:17:00 <Timberwolf> Cool. (This will be a "Timberwolf discovers how broken the Python environment on this particular computer is" adventure then)
10:18:37 <andythenorth> I am tempting fate here, but python is entirely under control
10:19:03 <andythenorth> install official binaries (and pypy) for each needed version, virtualenv everything everywhere, never touch the OS python, done
10:20:01 <Timberwolf> Yeah, the Python devs I've worked with recommend the same.
10:22:46 *** jottyfan has joined #openttd
10:25:16 <andythenorth> might work really well with regions
10:25:25 <andythenorth> then it can have a gas grid
10:26:19 <Timberwolf> Cool, I have a firs.grf!
10:26:24 <Timberwolf> Now to make that change.
10:27:05 <Timberwolf> The only slight stumble I had was not realising that while pillow isn't listed as a dependency, it *is* a dependency of nml so will get installed along with that.
10:28:21 *** jottyfan has joined #openttd
10:46:15 <Timberwolf> Heh. I gave it a new ID so I could keep it around for testing stuff.
10:46:50 <andythenorth> voxel industry replacement or go hom?
10:48:11 <Timberwolf> Probably more buildings for stations, followed by towns.

13:31:39 *** Gustavo6046 has joined #openttd
13:38:11 <andythenorth> copied from Iron Horse, so quite train-reference
13:38:42 <andythenorth> tech tree concept is a bit weird for ships, there's very little to compare
13:40:06 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
13:40:20 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
13:41:20 <Eddi|zuHause> how is it a "tech tree" when all ships are introduced at the same time?
13:46:31 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause yes
13:46:58 <andythenorth> the tree view is quite a useful design tool, there are currently 50% of planned ships missing
13:47:07 <andythenorth> but I'm not sure they're even a a good idea yet
13:48:31 <Eddi|zuHause> i fail to see the motivation between picking a barge, or a side loader, or a specialist
13:49:18 <andythenorth> but I tried only having 'freighters' and it's very visually bland
13:50:08 <Eddi|zuHause> i would say single-body ships would be more for high seas, and barges more for rivers/canals
13:50:20 <andythenorth> and running sea-going ships on canals or lakes is weird, so both types are needed
13:50:29 <andythenorth> I did try having just ships
13:50:33 <Eddi|zuHause> but i always feel that that distinction isn't implemented very well in the game
13:50:36 <andythenorth> suppose I could just have barges?
13:50:47 <andythenorth> barges...cross the north sea etc
13:52:02 <Eddi|zuHause> and the old problem of having to provide different sizes, which are both too many options, and not the right option at the same time
13:52:19 <andythenorth> I did try 'refit to different size'
13:52:39 <andythenorth> it's technically a solution, but it's really not nice to actually use
13:52:49 <andythenorth> 'ships are weird'
13:53:08 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that's a good idea to reduce the buy menu length, but it's to hidden and too side-effect-y for the average player
13:53:36 <Eddi|zuHause> we need the "combine multiple vehicles into a single buy menu entry" thing
13:59:07 <andythenorth> hmm it is better with just barges
14:00:10 <andythenorth> oh I remember, barges look silly serving oil rigs
14:00:16 <andythenorth> which starts to unpick the 'just barges' route
14:02:25 <andythenorth> also on 2x UI zoom, 128px ships are huge
14:02:42 <andythenorth> and the buy menu window shows only 7 at once
14:02:48 <andythenorth> and most of the name is clipped
14:05:36 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
14:08:00 <Eddi|zuHause> you can scale down the buy menu sprites by x0.5
14:08:48 <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause is that scaling a built-in?
14:08:55 <andythenorth> I can do it in PIL otherwise
14:09:14 <Eddi|zuHause> you just provide different sprites in the GRF
14:09:31 <andythenorth> I'll need to detect the UI zoom, that's a built-in though?
14:09:39 <Eddi|zuHause> checking extra_callback_info1, i think
14:12:38 <michi_cc> andythenorth: I don't think UI zoom is exposed to newgrfs (desync and all), but you should be able to supply a sprite with multiple zooms.
14:13:01 <Eddi|zuHause> so you either check extra_callback_info1 against 0x20 for affecting just the purchase list, or you mask "extra_callback_info1 && 0x20" first to apply to all windows which display an unpurchased vehicle
14:13:04 <andythenorth> I'll try it later
14:13:14 <andythenorth> it's 'weird' having half-size ships in buy menu
14:13:19 <andythenorth> but it's unusable currently
14:13:58 <Eddi|zuHause> well, either is fine in this context, probably. just the result is different :)
14:14:36 <Eddi|zuHause> with & you get the result 0 or 0x20, and with && you get the result 0 or 1
14:17:04 <andythenorth> not sure how I'll downsample the sprites without losing fidelity
14:22:00 <andythenorth> yeah reducing the sprite to 50% of original is quite unworkable
14:31:55 <andythenorth> think I'm stuck with giant sprites and clipped ship names :)
14:32:00 <andythenorth> or I redesign the set
14:48:42 <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: can you override the x2 zoom sprites with the same dimensions as x1 zoom sprites?
14:49:02 <Eddi|zuHause> (not saying this is a good idea)
14:49:23 <andythenorth> not sure, the x2 is a mystery
14:49:47 <Eddi|zuHause> if you're going to cut off sprites, at least right-align them first
14:50:25 <andythenorth> it will be odd for ships that have house at front also
14:50:26 <Eddi|zuHause> (although that might lose you visual clues on how large a ship will be)
14:50:38 <andythenorth> maybe I have to clip left / right depending on house
14:51:14 <andythenorth> I think I file this under 'another day'
14:53:48 <andythenorth> I could remove the 128px ships
14:53:53 <andythenorth> and maybe the 112px ones
15:08:54 <Samu> how to increase the stack?
15:10:30 *** Flygon has quit IRC (Quit: A toaster's basically a soldering iron designed to toast bread)
15:10:40 <Samu> The maximum number of stack frames supported by Visual Studio has been exceeded.
15:10:48 <LordAro> increasing the stack is technically doable, but is not a good solution
15:12:59 <Samu> the other solution may be limiting the number of wagons in a chain of wagons
15:13:01 <andythenorth> this one goes to 11
15:14:02 <Samu> this chain has 27,127 wagons
15:14:12 <LordAro> Samu: or deleting wagons in a non-recursive fashion
15:14:23 <LordAro> (such that it doesn't increase the stack size)
15:14:44 <Samu> it's something about scalar destructor
15:14:56 <Samu> external code is involved
15:15:52 <LordAro> scalar destructor? that's not a term i'm familiar with
15:16:54 <Samu> well, let me get the right name, brb
15:18:00 <Samu> Train::'scalar deleting destructor' - Source information is not available
15:20:28 <Samu> but something seems recursive here
15:21:10 <Samu> ~Train() calls ~Vehicle() which calls ~Train() which calls ~Vehicle(), etc...
15:21:19 <Eddi|zuHause> "scalar" is typically used in vector-contexts to denote a non-vectorized number
15:22:06 <Eddi|zuHause> how that would relate to "destructor" i don't know
15:22:24 <Samu> keeps doing that until all of 27k wagons are deleted
15:22:35 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe it's a destructor of a type called "scalar"
15:23:15 <Samu> but it stacks overflows at some point
15:25:27 <LordAro> i'll see if i can reproduce on linux and get a proper stack trace :)
15:28:03 <Eddi|zuHause> might want to artificially reduce stack size to trigger it :)
15:29:02 <LordAro> iirc linux's default stack size is smaller than windows anyway
15:29:39 <Eddi|zuHause> but the person said he could recover it on linux
15:30:00 <Eddi|zuHause> and that's probably distribution specific
15:32:02 <LordAro> it hangs for a while, but ultimately does continue
15:32:54 <Eddi|zuHause> and the stack size itself might not be the whole story, the calling convention might influence how much stack is consumed per recursion level
15:44:10 <LordAro> i can't see any recursion happening
15:44:39 <LordAro> #2 0x0000555555fcb1c9 in RestoreTrainBackup(TrainList&) (list=std::vector of length 27127, capacity 32768 = {...}) at /home/lordaro/dev/openttd/src/train_cmd.cpp:836
15:44:43 <LordAro> just trying to do this a lot
15:46:09 <TrueBrain> why is there no upper-limit on the amount of wagons a train can have, one might wonder :D
15:46:14 <Eddi|zuHause> then it's probably std-library implementation dependent
15:46:20 <LordAro> not entirely sure why building up a vector of a few thousand pointers takes a particularly long time
15:46:33 <Eddi|zuHause> TrueBrain: i think there is a limit for trains, but this is a free-wagon-chain
15:46:52 <TrueBrain> why is there no upper-limit on "free-wagon-chain" :D
15:46:59 <TrueBrain> the question doesn't really change ;) :P
15:47:07 <Eddi|zuHause> TrueBrain: so build 100 trains with 100 wagons each, sell all the engines, get a 100k free wagon chain
15:47:25 <TrueBrain> SkyNet all over again
15:48:02 <Eddi|zuHause> well, we probably have a limit to 64k wagons
15:48:50 <LordAro> ah, SetNext is not the cheap function its name would imply
15:51:28 <Eddi|zuHause> assert(this != next); <-- shouldn't that be "this->next"?
15:51:43 <Eddi|zuHause> that's the parameter
15:52:15 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, i was reading too quickly
15:53:27 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not sure i get the point of that loop
15:54:46 <LordAro> i'm not sure it's correct
15:54:55 <LordAro> first is supposed to be the head of the train/vehicle
15:55:15 <LordAro> but it's setting it to the (old) next?
15:55:16 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, so the function should be more like "RemoveFront"
15:56:24 <Eddi|zuHause> "this->next->previous->next"... is not confusing at all :p
15:56:49 <LordAro> quite common when working with linked lists :p
15:57:56 * LordAro sees what happens if he removes those loops
15:59:31 <Eddi|zuHause> is that used anywhere else than ~Vehicle()?
15:59:48 <LordAro> openttd: /home/lordaro/dev/openttd/src/train_cmd.cpp:123: void Train::ConsistChanged(ConsistChangeFlags): Assertion `u->First() == this' failed.
15:59:59 <LordAro> Eddi|zuHause: lots of places, just not in that file
16:00:07 <LordAro> Vehicle is the base class for a lot of things
16:00:38 <Eddi|zuHause> like i said, the function is probably misnamed
16:01:54 <LordAro> poorly named, certainly
16:02:54 <TrueBrain> it once did exactly what it said ;)
16:04:48 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, that looks a bit weird

16:07:15 <TrueBrain> I still do not understand "Change:" as commit message prefix .. isn't everything a change? :D
16:07:27 <LordAro> "user visible change"
16:07:40 <LordAro> "but not actually anything particularly new"
16:07:51 <TrueBrain> is it written down anywhere what is meant with the prefixes? I only know of the commit checker mentioning when it is a prefix we do not know :D
16:07:52 <LordAro> is how i see it, anyway
16:08:30 <LordAro> does the wiki page not say?
16:09:02 <TrueBrain> ugh, search engines STILL aren't updated .. this is so much more annoying than I would ever have expected
16:10:03 <michi_cc> "Changing behaviour from user-point-of-view." fit for me.
16:10:17 <TrueBrain> it is a clear definition of what OpenTTD means with "Change", yes :)
16:11:20 <michi_cc> The actual word is of course a bikeshed-colour thing, but the meaning is useful for changelogs.
16:11:46 <TrueBrain> I am all good what-ever we pick .. I just didn't know what was meant with it :)
16:12:45 <michi_cc> For this specific PR, one could also argue for Fix, but unfavourably behaviour is not necessarily a bug in itself.
16:13:03 <TrueBrain> sometimes a question is just a question :) No need to overthink this :D
16:13:28 <TrueBrain> Google still hasn't indexed 3000 pages reported via the sitemap

16:35:29 <TrueBrain> if I knew then what I know now, I would have done this completely different :)
16:36:16 <TrueBrain> it also keeps insisting there are sitemaps on URLs that are rather invalid
16:37:49 <TrueBrain> all the ?title= URLs are annoying, as they are valid with TrueWiki (as he doesn't do querystrings)
16:38:51 <TrueBrain> bing is also funny ... URL: indexed, I click on it, last crawled, 2 days ago .. I click "Live test": THIS URL IS NOT VALID AND CANNOT BE INDEXED .. no shit .. so ... why didn't you de-index it when you crawled it 2 days ago?!

18:35:02 <Eddi|zuHause> that's not a particularly heavy train
18:35:30 <andythenorth> do we want a more nuanced train?
18:36:33 <Heiki> and yes, only yesterday I noticed that all those STR_ENGINE_PREVIEW_ strings are used in nominative as well as accusative cases in the Finnish translation, which is why all translators have changed them back and forth probably hundreds of times
18:38:52 <Eddi|zuHause> a european train can have up to 25t per axle, and up to 250 axles, which makes 6250t
18:39:14 <Eddi|zuHause> a bit less if you assume that the engine(s) have slightly less weight
18:40:24 <Heiki> Eddi|zuHause: ah, sorry, played too much OpenTTD with Iron Horse and FIRS 4 around 1890 today
18:42:10 <Heiki> (which means 400 t trains using 7 tile stations)
18:43:40 <Eddi|zuHause> if you assume 3 engines with 6 axles each, weighing 21t per axle, you get 6178t
18:46:13 <Eddi|zuHause> if you also assume that the number of axles will be divisible by 6, you get 6078t
18:48:14 <andythenorth> does your railtype permit 25t?
18:48:32 <Eddi|zuHause> on a few select routes
18:50:00 <Eddi|zuHause> usually ones that transport iron ore
18:50:56 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] SamuXarick opened pull request #8471: Fix #8462: Don't check whether to grow a town road on water https://git.io/JLQpH
18:51:39 <andythenorth> shall we do a Jan 1 OpenTTD release?
18:53:55 <Eddi|zuHause> if you want to further delay #7000
18:55:49 <Heiki> Limited Edition Surprise Release, only available Jan 1
18:56:14 <Eddi|zuHause> sounds like 0.4.0 :p
19:04:41 <Heiki> re-release 0.4.0 on Jan 1 2021?
19:29:01 <Timberwolf> I was going to suggest releasing it on vinyl, but taking the bitrate of BBC Micro tapes as a benchmark you'd need 30 discs for a standard Win10 64-bit installer distribution.
19:30:27 <Timberwolf> Could probably get a small newgrf on a cassette!
19:46:06 <Timberwolf> Two-stage FIRS - one ~4MB file with all the sprites and most of the logic, then a cassette labelled "Side A: Steeltown. Side B: Better Living Through Chemistry."
19:46:24 <Timberwolf> Newgrf to cassette port interface for 1.11

19:55:47 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
19:57:32 <Eddi|zuHause> i'm pretty sure that's an OS task
20:04:03 *** andythenorth has quit IRC (Quit: andythenorth)
20:05:59 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
21:03:33 <supermop_Home> Eddi|zuHause implement an OS in Openttd specifically to read nwgrfs from tape
21:04:17 <supermop_Home> i assume Openttd will also be shipping tape drives
21:04:48 <supermop_Home> andythenorth you want like a sprite sheet or like pngs per sprite or what?
21:05:20 <supermop_Home> i want to fix pixels more but handing over at least an incremental first pass is probably a good idea
21:24:59 <Samu> i found another situation where towns don't use DC_NO_WATER in the clear command, but that one is excused, it's for the statue placement, it only looks for clear and tree tile types
21:58:27 <supermop_Home> did you have a preferred floorplate of the 4?
22:13:40 *** snail_UES_ has joined #openttd
22:44:14 <supermop_Home> haha there are already logs
22:46:50 <andythenorth> it's big it's heavy it's wood
22:47:02 <andythenorth> ship sprites are improved by not trying to use both company colours
22:51:11 * Timberwolf is updating a column entitled "horse_type"
22:54:45 *** Wormnest has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
22:59:16 <mikegrb> It looks like my IRC logs are going to be going away. My USA based provider is of the opinion that IRC logs violate the GDPR.
23:04:54 <glx> but it's not private data
23:05:14 <andythenorth> happy GDPR new year!
23:05:38 <andythenorth> Timberwolf they're quite lolz to watch :)
23:06:34 <Timberwolf> I put so much effort into finding one of those old Victorian textbook pages with the horse walk cycle on it.
23:09:13 *** jottyfan has quit IRC (Quit: jottyfan)
23:12:11 * Timberwolf ponders adding a horse in a Zorb as a pointless Easter egg.
23:12:19 <supermop_Home> not enough stone colors
23:12:49 <Timberwolf> Capacity: 1 item of livestock.
23:12:53 <supermop_Home> now i see why these ogfx office buildings have a bunch of pinks and greens mixed in the noise
23:13:54 <supermop_Home> Timberwolf regearing cargo to change horse to a donkey
23:15:26 <andythenorth> supermop_Home original base set mixes green + pink with stone also
23:16:41 <supermop_Home> recoloring brick to stone going to be a pain
23:17:47 <supermop_Home> brick you can use the whole gamut but stone needs stick only to the top 2/3rds then manually add other color noise
23:17:54 <Timberwolf> GoRender seems to pop some grey in there every so often, which might be a viable alternative.
23:18:09 <andythenorth> Wolf01 you in 2021 already?
23:19:33 <supermop_Home> like if its the 4th brick color, make it the 3rd tan, but maybe manually the 4th olive or the 6th grey?
23:20:03 <supermop_Home> magic wand + random clicking with pencil tool i guess
23:20:57 <Wolf01> <andythenorth> Wolf01 you in 2021 already? <- seem so
23:21:24 <Wolf01> Nothing changed from 2020
23:25:41 * Heiki has already seen almost 1½ hours of 2020, needs more vodka
23:28:17 <supermop_Home> Heiki nope, you have to redo 2020
23:29:29 <andythenorth> reload-savegame, try again
23:32:38 <Heiki> easier to go back to the one I saved in 1700
23:33:17 <LordAro> Heiki is vampire confirmed
