11:25:28 <andythenorth_> frosch123 is there a var I am not seeing for 'town name'? (context is industry)
11:26:16 <frosch123> do you mean a string code?
11:27:39 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
11:28:34 <andythenorth_> that would work yes
11:28:48 <andythenorth_> easier than messing around putting a string on the text stack
11:28:48 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
11:30:26 <frosch123> hmm, {TOWN} and other string codes are ottd inventions. so there is no such thing in newgrf
11:35:40 <andythenorth_> I would like to be able to refer to the town by name
11:35:47 <andythenorth_> and in other places
11:36:20 <andythenorth_> it's not essential, I am basically improvising because newgrf can't write to any town window
11:37:11 <peter1138> Alright, why did I just get an electric shock from a USB cable?
11:37:30 <andythenorth_> that happens sometimes
11:37:34 <andythenorth_> we have a couple that do that
11:37:40 <andythenorth_> how much shock?
11:43:23 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
11:48:55 <peter1138> I'm guessing it's a non-ground referenced PSU :(
11:49:39 <peter1138> That and I'm slightly sweaty from finished a short bike ride.

12:46:35 <andythenorth_> so...town growth callback would be patched where?
12:46:41 * andythenorth_ thinks there might a town_cmd.cpp
12:48:34 *** Kitrana has joined #openttd
12:48:54 <andythenorth_> maybe UpdateTownGrowthRate
12:49:59 * andythenorth_ wonders what TOWN_CUSTOM_GROWTH does
12:50:25 *** lobster has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
12:51:30 *** virtualrandomnumber has joined #openttd
12:51:52 <andythenorth_> or maybe it's GetNormalGrowthRate

16:04:30 <Wolf01> I think I should go easy with the VR, my current limit is about 1 hour before starting to get sick
16:05:15 <Wolf01> (not just with motion sickness, that's instant if it comes, but my back hurts a lot now)
16:09:23 <frosch123> adjust the fov slider

17:11:07 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
17:41:58 <andythenorth> GetNormalGrowthRate is a bit hard to follow
17:42:13 <andythenorth> what's the unit for growth rate?
17:42:20 <andythenorth> something something ticks?

18:05:16 <TrueBrain> That moment you have to register for a service and the confirmation email never arrives .. guess they are not interested in new users .. lol
18:05:43 <frosch123> "check your spam folder"
18:17:31 <andythenorth> I had that with Instagram
18:17:36 <TrueBrain> Worse, quarantined .. lol
18:17:38 <andythenorth> so many times I tried to register
18:17:46 <andythenorth> "so sad I can't"
18:20:19 *** Progman has joined #openttd
18:21:39 <frosch123> just post your pictures on r/firs
18:29:38 *** TrueBrain is now known as TrueBrain_ii
18:30:17 *** TrueBrain has joined #openttd
18:31:19 <TrueBrain> funny, using the official Matrix bridge doesn't require you to have the [m] postfix
18:33:01 * andythenorth hoping that Element use their money wisely also
18:33:10 <andythenorth> their client is currently incredibly lolz
18:33:41 <TrueBrain> that might be you :P
18:33:41 <andythenorth> it has a non-dismisable message saying "this chat is not secure, you can secure it from another account"
18:33:42 <TrueBrain> it works fine for me .. has been for months
18:33:51 <andythenorth> then you click 'ok secure this shit"
18:33:54 <andythenorth> and nothing happens
18:33:59 <andythenorth> so you're stuck with this stupid modal
18:34:10 <TrueBrain> I have no clue what you are smoking :D
18:34:15 <andythenorth> also they can't show who's online or not
18:34:26 <andythenorth> the tech supports it, but it chokes their server
18:34:32 <andythenorth> so that's like a basic chat feature that fails
18:35:54 <TrueBrain> so you just nitpicked a few things and dismissed it all together? :D Similar things can be said about any other platform btw :P
18:36:01 <TrueBrain> "What is this IRC, not even allowing pictures!"
18:36:34 <TrueBrain> owh, MacOS client .. no wonder :P
18:36:43 <andythenorth> it's just electron no?
18:36:56 <TrueBrain> a wrapper, but most likely
18:37:00 <andythenorth> it's lolz that they have all this secure shit, but it's just electron
18:37:15 <TrueBrain> but I don't have this secure blabla crap :)
18:37:24 <andythenorth> "adopted by major western spy agencies" -> electron
18:38:27 <andythenorth> anyway, they seem like nice people, UK company
18:38:42 <andythenorth> I hope they succeed, otherwise 25% of my staff will vote for Slack and win
18:39:14 <TrueBrain> I like how it just works for IRC :)
18:39:23 <TrueBrain> much better than most IRC clients I had
18:39:26 <andythenorth> my dislike of slack is really shallow, and is based on (1) the CEO has obviously dyed hair in videos (2) their marketing screenshots have these awful 'go team' messages
18:39:37 <andythenorth> yeah, I wanted to use it as a bridge to irc initially
18:39:56 <TrueBrain> I used to run my own server, to bridge to IRC .. but I kept forgetting to update it
18:40:00 <TrueBrain> and that was showing :P
18:40:08 <TrueBrain> so now I just use the SaaS variant :P
18:40:23 <andythenorth> yeah I wanted hosted
18:41:04 <andythenorth> oh I got a client update
18:41:52 <andythenorth> do you have all the insanely detailed security settings as well?
18:42:00 <andythenorth> like "Manually verify all remote sessions"
18:42:12 <TrueBrain> lol, "truebrain" was claimed on matrix, so I picked another nick ... but it turns out, it was me who claimed it :D Lets switch over to there .. lol
18:42:35 *** TrueBrain has quit IRC (Quit: issued !quit command)
18:44:38 <FLHerne> andythenorth: You know the Dragon space capsule's control panel is JS in Chromium?
18:45:07 <FLHerne> everything is web tech now
18:46:16 <andythenorth> electron seems particularly prone to RCEs
18:46:39 <andythenorth> for reasons I don't claim to understand
18:46:47 <andythenorth> maybe browsers sandbox better or something, dunno
18:46:58 *** TrueBrain has joined #openttd
18:47:04 <TrueBrain> andythenorth: I found what you are seeing :)
18:47:09 <TrueBrain> as I just had it too :P
18:47:31 <andythenorth> they haven't got many UX people yet I think
18:47:32 <TrueBrain> basically, when I joined with a second device, the first device needs to validate the new device is also you
18:47:49 <andythenorth> I only had one device, so I have NFI how I'm supposed to validate 'from another account'
18:47:49 <TrueBrain> so when you get that screen you showed, my other device was asking me to verify the login
18:47:59 <TrueBrain> (for me it was mobile / desktop)
18:48:14 <andythenorth> I so want to like this client + company
18:48:34 <andythenorth> it's getting major adoption, and is the closest thing I've seen to discord so far in commercial app
18:48:45 <andythenorth> I just worry it's mercurial not git :P
18:49:30 <DorpsGek> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)
18:49:45 <TrueBrain> you can worry about a lot of things in life :P
18:50:00 <TrueBrain> what is annoying, that my own name now has a different colour
18:55:14 <TrueBrain> andythenorth: in more detail, it seems the screen you are getting is to recover encryption keys between devices, so you can decrypt old messages :)
18:56:24 <andythenorth> I think I need to draw a diagram
18:56:35 <andythenorth> it isn't a complicated diagram, but eh
18:56:55 <andythenorth> equivalent irc diagram just has a fuzzy cloud
18:57:57 <TrueBrain> meh, I wonder if I can change the colour of my own nick .. this is so annoying :P
19:01:26 <andythenorth> there is probably a css file :P
19:06:41 *** jottyfan has quit IRC (Quit: jottyfan)
19:11:19 <glx> brute force should never be the first choice
19:19:24 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
19:20:01 <TrueBrain> owh no, also glx has another colour .. this colouring algorithm sucks! UNUSUABLE!
19:22:52 <andythenorth> I think it's an open source client no? :P
19:26:26 *** tokai|noir has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:06:42 <andythenorth> was I doing grf?
20:14:10 <andythenorth> I think I got dissuaded :P
20:14:20 <andythenorth> trying to do industry <-> town stuff
20:14:25 <andythenorth> the spec just doesn't want it
20:19:08 <andythenorth> the spec is so carefully designed and beautiful
20:19:13 <andythenorth> so it must be correct, yes? :)
20:21:39 *** snail_UES_ has joined #openttd
20:26:15 *** tokai|noir has joined #openttd
20:26:15 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai|noir
20:33:16 *** tokai has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:40:01 <andythenorth> nobody has sent a 'quit whining' emoji?
20:40:16 *** nielsm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:42:10 <TrueBrain> no, we are just thinking it :P
20:44:07 <TrueBrain> I am trying to move my unifi-controller .. so I make a backup on the old .. restore it on the new ... nothing happens. I do an inspection of the web traffic .. turns out, it just throws a 403, no message, nothing
21:01:18 <TrueBrain> finally found a way to restore my backup .. silly controller :P
21:12:04 <andythenorth> what was I even trying to do in grf?
21:13:55 <andythenorth> oh yeah grf spec wasn't blocking me, it's just weird
21:14:02 <andythenorth> problem is English Language As Written
21:18:38 <andythenorth> eh, does 'standard of living' translate ok? :)
21:18:45 <andythenorth> this is for like .... towns and stuff
21:26:02 *** snail_UES_ has quit IRC (Quit: snail_UES_)
21:26:36 <frosch123> though it distinguishes standard of living and quality of life
21:26:41 *** Samu has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
21:26:58 <frosch123> which i would have considered mostly the same
21:28:32 <andythenorth> they're about synonymous for this purpose
21:28:49 <andythenorth> higher quality of life = town growth, industry production increase
21:29:07 <andythenorth> moral question: delivering alcohol increases quality of life? :P
21:29:51 <frosch123> let's say it moves it toward medium
21:29:57 <frosch123> raises if low, lowers if high
21:30:12 <frosch123> too complicated? :p
21:30:25 <andythenorth> but it's appealing
21:30:49 <andythenorth> I was going to try waste / recycling cargos again
21:31:03 <andythenorth> transporting them away => higher quality of life
21:31:20 <andythenorth> maybe delivering alcohol causes some other cargo to be produced
21:31:29 <andythenorth> 'healthcare needs'
21:31:34 <andythenorth> hmm this could get complicated
21:31:40 <andythenorth> hospital industry?
21:31:46 <andythenorth> police industry?
21:32:31 <frosch123> that may be too much "morals" for ottd :)
21:33:26 <frosch123> maybe you can identify some industries that provide shitty jobs, which need drugs for workers
21:34:24 <andythenorth> in cubicle farms!
21:35:28 <andythenorth> my friend worked at EA
21:35:41 <andythenorth> ended up addicted to morphine
21:35:55 <frosch123> can you admit publically to work at EA?
21:36:17 <TrueBrain> if you are looking for tomatos, yes
21:37:36 <andythenorth> ok english distinguishes 'quality of life' and 'standard of living'
21:37:48 *** Beer has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
21:38:00 <andythenorth> 'standard of living' is better for FIRS, because it can be a crap town with crap jobs, but if food and beer and cars are supplied
21:38:23 <andythenorth> I am not measuring actual well-being or anything
21:39:10 <frosch123> there are also two terms in german, which have probably the same meaning, but i guess i have not studied that stuff :)
21:41:27 <andythenorth> the page I read said it's contested meaning
21:42:19 <TrueBrain> missing newline at bottom of list :P
21:42:37 <andythenorth> for you, I shall fix that
21:44:02 <andythenorth> but now that we've bike-shedded the formatting (I agree)
21:44:07 <andythenorth> does it actually make sense?
21:44:20 <andythenorth> it doesn't say what effect 'standard of living' has
21:44:43 <andythenorth> hmm this list uses a lot of vertical space also
21:45:41 <TrueBrain> the last part "if there are not enough" suggests you might need multiple, but it is unclear when/why
21:46:02 <andythenorth> I could actually count how many there are in the town
21:46:06 <andythenorth> and display that in the list
21:46:14 <andythenorth> if I don't run out of text stack
21:46:27 <andythenorth> is text stack 16 registers?
21:46:31 <TrueBrain> to me it reads it needs at least one, but the last line suggests that might not be true, and you need multiple
21:47:08 <frosch123> you can also print bytes and words, to use less stack space
21:47:34 <frosch123> not sure whether nml supports bytes. it has issues with translations / reordering of parameters
21:48:32 <frosch123> yeah, bytes are a bad idea
21:48:53 <andythenorth> stack is 100h-105h
21:49:04 <andythenorth> I could just precompute all possible combinations in python :P
21:49:09 <andythenorth> but I probably run out of string IDs
21:50:32 <TrueBrain> now that is an excellent reply :)
21:50:49 <frosch123> andythenorth: increasing the stack up to 10E is probably easy
21:50:57 <frosch123> i think 10F is used for other stuff :p
21:51:25 <andythenorth> I might have max 10 town industry types
21:51:28 <andythenorth> and a count for each
21:51:37 <andythenorth> if it was bytes, stuffed, it would be plenty
21:51:55 <andythenorth> I could stuff them into nibbles probably
21:52:04 <andythenorth> do people have more than 8 beer shops in a town?
21:52:33 <andythenorth> can we have discord, I am too used to editing my errors?
21:52:46 <andythenorth> I typed with even less care than I used to
21:54:19 <andythenorth> it's hard to explain that there must be N of these industries AND they must have transport needs met (x amount supplied or delivered)
21:54:31 <andythenorth> the actual combination of industry types doesn't matter
21:55:39 <frosch123> take the SV approach. claim that the player is a maniac and has an urge to fulfill town goals
21:57:18 <andythenorth> this is definitely SV inspired :P
21:57:57 <frosch123> in other games you have to fulfill goals before you unlock the next stuff
21:58:29 <frosch123> so you have to provide a petral station before vehicle distributors appear
21:58:48 <andythenorth> my kids play casual games with about 500 'level up' opportunities
21:59:18 <frosch123> good point, you need multiple types of currencies
21:59:39 <andythenorth> 'standard of living' is like gold or gems :P
21:59:42 <andythenorth> it's the 2nd currency
22:00:20 <andythenorth> there's often XP as a 3rd currency too
22:00:39 <andythenorth> hmm can I get a list of the actual industries and if they are happy?
22:00:50 <andythenorth> GS has the list, but no knowledge of happiness
22:01:02 <andythenorth> GRF has the happiness (via town registers) but not the names
22:01:19 <andythenorth> can I put industry name string into town register?
22:01:41 <andythenorth> nope industry has no 'name' var
22:02:05 <frosch123> you can template that, can't you?
22:02:21 <andythenorth> I could put IDs in
22:02:28 <andythenorth> but I don't have the town name
22:02:37 <andythenorth> seems text control code 86 would be needed also :P
22:03:22 <andythenorth> also it's a silly idea, industry names are not unique anyway :)
22:03:39 <frosch123> why 86? nml uses 86 to reorder parameters in translations
22:04:36 * andythenorth might be misunderstanding
22:05:07 <andythenorth> it gives an example which afaict isn't actually possible in grf
22:05:45 *** gelignite has quit IRC (Quit: Stay safe!)
22:12:20 <frosch123> is that an upgrade to increase alcohol demand?
22:13:02 <andythenorth> I did consider randomising demand a bit
22:13:16 <andythenorth> there are probably some town bits
22:13:23 <andythenorth> or just modulo the ID
22:15:13 <andythenorth> maybe my brain will solve all this in sleep
