00:00:26 <andythenorth[d]> oops forgot to choose a random point in my circle πŸ™‚
00:00:28 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071581036200345630/image.png
00:01:36 <glx[d]> but once you have some random coord in the square around a given location you can filter more precisely and exclude those outside of the circle
00:02:59 <glx[d]> like get a random point in the square enclosing circle
00:04:05 <glx[d]> it's a good approximation and you can then check the distance to see if it's in or out
00:04:35 <glx[d]> if it's out pick another point
00:07:15 *** Wolf01 has quit IRC (Quit: Once again the world is quick to bury me.)
00:07:48 <andythenorth[d]> I wonder if this does what I think it does πŸ˜› https://github.com/andythenorth/firs/blob/gs-is-real/src/gs/gs_templates/industry_helper.pynut#L22
00:07:51 <andythenorth[d]> results look correct
00:08:14 <andythenorth[d]> I haven't tried picking the random point first yet
00:08:20 <andythenorth[d]> this still picks from a list of filtered tiles
00:08:49 <andythenorth[d]> I think this needs decomposing into more area functions
00:09:01 <andythenorth[d]> 'point is in circle' being one of them
00:11:50 <andythenorth[d]> I wish I could time to ms
00:12:04 <andythenorth[d]> I'm curious how long walking these shorter tile lists takes
00:12:54 <andythenorth[d]> I'm prepared to be wrong, but walking ~4096 tiles doesn't seem like it would be particularly expensive
00:13:24 <JGR> It'd probably be fine
00:13:38 <JGR> If you increase the radius it'll get more noticable
00:13:46 <andythenorth[d]> it would get worse if I tried to scale the radius to e.g. town density and map size
00:13:54 <andythenorth[d]> square laws πŸ˜›
00:14:22 <andythenorth[d]> but I already know that this GS isn't going to work on large maps
00:14:50 <andythenorth[d]> even just updating town text monthly can't be done on a 4k x 4k map
00:15:14 <glx[d]> at least the 'pick a tile and build an industry part' is efficient (unless bad luck at picking)
00:15:46 <andythenorth[d]> I'd rather have OpenTTD make the primitive shape, and then just provide it as a constraint to prospecting
00:15:51 <andythenorth[d]> but eh, one step at a time
00:17:14 <andythenorth[d]> ok let's stop making a square then booleaning the circle out of it
00:17:24 <andythenorth[d]> we should be able to make a circle directly with trig
00:17:27 <glx[d]> yeah for AI we don't want to give too much, but maybe GS can get some useful stuff in c++ side
00:19:05 <andythenorth[d]> I don't even need trig, it's just pythagoras?
00:19:21 <glx[d]> (the issue with native calls is we can't limit the execution time)
00:20:35 <andythenorth[d]> hmm pythagoras is going to end up with floats
00:20:36 <andythenorth[d]> ugh
00:21:15 <glx[d]> but adding some area limits for prospecting on openttd side should be "fine"
00:22:19 <andythenorth[d]> c^2 + a^2 = b^2
00:22:51 <andythenorth[d]> y^2 = c^2 + x^2
00:23:14 <andythenorth[d]> should give me a circle of x, y values, using a range of x - radius, x + radius
00:23:29 <andythenorth[d]> but then I have to sqrt and squirrel is going to throw a type error?
00:23:44 <andythenorth[d]> tile x, y can't be float πŸ˜›
00:24:16 <andythenorth[d]> maybe I can force int, and check for duplicates πŸ˜›
00:25:55 <JGR> glx[d]: You can charge as many opcodes as required though
00:26:17 <glx[d]> yes, but it won't stop in the middle
00:27:02 <andythenorth[d]> might not need to
00:27:35 <andythenorth[d]> if it's just maths to get tile xy pairs
00:28:05 <andythenorth[d]> the upper limit is probably quite high, if we stick to primitive shapes, not operating on lists of tiles
00:29:06 <andythenorth[d]> given an x,y point, does it fit in a region defined by areas
00:29:37 <andythenorth[d]> dunno, better to work out in GS first, then make it faster πŸ˜›
00:30:22 <glx[d]> that's why the square is a good approximation as it limits the number of (x,y) to try
00:31:13 <andythenorth[d]> I really want to try direct pythagoras circle, but I have no way to time it
00:31:35 <andythenorth[d]> and it's a bit late for my brain to figure out πŸ˜›
00:32:19 <glx[d]> but that's because you want to determine all tiles beforehand
00:32:49 <andythenorth[d]> I'm just curious now
00:33:07 <andythenorth[d]> is it faster to do a rect and exclude non-circle points?
00:33:12 <andythenorth[d]> or faster to do pythagoras
00:33:18 <andythenorth[d]> I reckon pythagoras
00:33:34 <andythenorth[d]> 12 rects can approximate an ugly circle also though
00:33:38 <glx[d]> while you don't really need the list of tiles, just a way to pick something that may be in the list
00:33:42 <andythenorth[d]> yes
00:33:43 <andythenorth[d]> agreed
00:34:01 <andythenorth[d]> still needs a fast way to resolve true / false for the constraint
00:34:21 <andythenorth[d]> wonder if there's a parametric function for it
00:34:35 <andythenorth[d]> but I only ever used those to draw smiley faces on a calculator
00:34:55 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071589708657860669/AfSxd.png
00:35:12 <glx[d]> you have center, radius, it's easy to get the square
00:35:40 <glx[d]> and in many case any random (x,y) will be inside the circle
00:36:58 <andythenorth[d]> oh stack overflow sent me here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_lamina
00:37:00 <glx[d]> and I don't thing checking distance to center costs that much
00:37:08 <andythenorth[d]> reminds me of the engineering degree I nearly failed, then quit
00:37:27 *** sla_ro|master has quit IRC ()
00:38:32 <andythenorth[d]> it's 0 seconds to find circles for 28 towns, then test random points in them until 28 farms are built
00:38:42 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071590660949422161/image.png
00:39:39 <andythenorth[d]> that's at map gen, it's obviously slower if game is running, as it has to run 28 do commands
00:39:54 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071590957386051585/image.png
00:40:04 <glx[d]> not too bad
00:40:39 <andythenorth[d]> when we batch commands somehow, we can circumvent the 1-command-per-tick restriction anyway
00:41:14 <andythenorth[d]> how many commands can the server run per tick (not just in script)?
00:41:19 <andythenorth[d]> or is that 1?
00:41:38 <glx[d]> it's more that one
00:42:39 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071591651904061450/image.png
00:42:39 <andythenorth[d]> ffwd cuts the RL time πŸ˜›
00:42:53 <andythenorth[d]> I enjoy that the random is deterministic πŸ™‚
00:43:00 <andythenorth[d]> it really does aid testing this kind of thing
00:43:41 <andythenorth[d]> I'll try a pathological map
00:43:50 <glx[d]> it's probably possible to make an array of commands to run, and get an array of results in return
00:44:54 <andythenorth[d]> or specify a command, and a list of items to run it over
00:47:32 <andythenorth[d]> ok 3 mins so far trying to build farms on 4k x 4k
00:47:34 <andythenorth[d]> high towns
00:48:04 <andythenorth[d]> 4880 farms built so far
00:50:01 <andythenorth[d]> still going

00:50:50 <andythenorth[d]> some of that was on FFWD
00:50:57 <andythenorth[d]> 5270 farms built

00:53:25 <andythenorth[d]> 4k maps really are catastrophic πŸ™‚
00:53:53 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071594478269374515/image.png
00:53:53 <andythenorth[d]> 1024 x 1024
00:54:02 <andythenorth[d]> 353 farms
00:54:38 <glx[d]> the bigger the map, the higher the chance for no suitable location around a town
00:54:43 <andythenorth[d]> GS stuff really scales horribly with map size πŸ™‚
00:55:07 <andythenorth[d]> I am going to limit FIRS GS to some max map size
00:56:43 <glx[d]> hey it could be a feature of your GS, like only towns at start, then industries progressively appears
00:57:52 <andythenorth[d]> 'feature' πŸ™‚
00:58:08 <andythenorth[d]> we could just give GS more execution time at map start
00:58:55 <glx[d]> or scale generating loops to the map
01:00:09 <glx[d]> for now it's always 2500
01:01:41 <glx[d]> but towns, industries, ... are scaled by map, so why not GS startup
01:02:00 <andythenorth[d]> yes
01:02:19 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071596601027600476/image.png
01:02:19 <andythenorth[d]> ha ha the news history πŸ˜„
01:03:43 <glx[d]> well that can be silenced with a well placed _generating_world check

01:05:58 <andythenorth[d]> if I omit the actual BuildIndustry cmd, a 1k x 1k map is 1s to find locations
01:06:43 <andythenorth[d]> 2k x 2k map is 5 seconds
01:08:00 <andythenorth[d]> 4k x 4k 43 seconds

01:08:21 <andythenorth[d]> no town counter anywhere in the game?
01:08:32 <andythenorth[d]> nvm

08:08:28 <andythenorth[d]> also pythagoras works
08:16:24 <andythenorth[d]> clipping the result to integer seems to have some artefacts

08:20:17 <andythenorth[d]> could I expose a ms clock to GS? seems we use one for profiling https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/src/newgrf_profiling.cpp#L50

10:02:11 <andythenorth[d]> I can't think of a fast way to combine the constraints (as filters on points)

11:54:22 <nielsm> squirrel has a "delete" keyword that is supposed to delete the contents of a table slot
11:55:01 <nielsm> also you'd probably need to toy with weak references if you're making any kind of structure with circular references/back references
11:56:34 <andythenorth[d]> I'm stuffing a class instance into a slot, I think the refs persist
11:56:39 <andythenorth[d]> not sure what I can do about that
11:57:14 <nielsm> http://squirrel-lang.org/doc/squirrel2.pdf page 18 talks about the slot delete operator
11:57:40 <andythenorth[d]> thanks
11:57:50 <andythenorth[d]> delete functions to clear the slot, but the memory is persisted
11:58:29 <andythenorth[d]> I might have to rewrite all this to slots not classes
11:58:42 <nielsm> there is also a global "collectgarbage()" function you can try calling, to see if it helps any
11:59:52 <andythenorth[d]> collectgarbage() isn't available to GS I think
11:59:55 <andythenorth[d]> index not found
12:01:13 <andythenorth[d]> I suspect that the problem is the approach of keeping pairs of x,y co-ordinates in arrays
12:01:21 <andythenorth[d]> this was already pointed out to me
12:01:38 <andythenorth[d]> using 1 GB to draw 4 circles isn't idea
12:01:47 <andythenorth[d]> even if it can be garbage collected later
12:02:35 <andythenorth[d]> well it's only 13 MB, to draw 4 circles but I do it 100 times to stress test
12:03:16 <andythenorth[d]> class instance code is https://github.com/andythenorth/firs/blob/gs-is-real/src/gs/gs_templates/map_but_in_gs_lol.pynut#L1

12:09:37 *** jinks has joined #openttd
12:10:09 <andythenorth[d]> \o/
12:14:26 <andythenorth[d]> I'm assuming a squirrel integer is uint32?
12:15:45 <Samu> int64
12:16:04 <andythenorth[d]> so 8 bytes?
12:18:41 <andythenorth[d]> max tile x even in JGRP is 16384 πŸ˜›
12:18:58 <andythenorth[d]> this is probably the wrong approach, but storing a more sparse x,y pair would cut RAM use
12:19:53 <andythenorth[d]> 16 bits would be enough, but 'probably not how it works'?
12:22:54 *** jinks has quit IRC (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in)
12:23:29 *** jinks has joined #openttd
12:24:13 <andythenorth[d]> oh the RAM use might be because I pass very large lists as function params
12:24:14 <andythenorth[d]> let's see
12:30:07 <JGR> Storing anything in Squirrel is going to have a large overhead
12:30:28 <JGR> It's not just 8 bytes per int or whatever it might be
12:30:54 <JGR> Really you should not be storing large amounts of data at all
12:31:01 <glx[d]> Variables are kinda variants
12:34:13 <andythenorth[d]> this makes a huge difference
12:34:14 <andythenorth[d]> https://github.com/andythenorth/firs/commit/5808dfa58780cc239a25708387a3c0bfda42f47b
12:34:44 <andythenorth[d]> 1) it cuts RAM use from 1GB for 100 loops to 15 MB for 100000 loops
12:34:56 <andythenorth[d]> 2) see 1
12:36:01 <andythenorth[d]> I still think storing these lists is the wrong approach
12:36:14 <andythenorth[d]> but I don't know how to write some kind of generator thing in Squirrel
12:36:20 <andythenorth[d]> or python for that matter πŸ˜›
12:36:58 <andythenorth[d]> instead of storing all the valid points for a region
12:37:24 <andythenorth[d]> pass a single point to a function for the region, which evaluates true / false for the point being in / out
12:38:47 <TrueBrain> do you know these moments that you are working on some code, and it keeps crashing, only for you to realise the original code you base your work on shouldn't actually work
12:38:50 <TrueBrain> but it does! πŸ˜›
12:39:11 <glx[d]> Always nice when it happens
12:40:04 <TrueBrain> https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob/master/src/network/core/tcp_http.cpp#L309 iterates over `_http_connections`, but `Receive` can trigger a callback which adds a connection to `_http_connections` .. and modifying a vector while iterating is just a bad idea
12:40:46 <TrueBrain> I guess it doesn't crash as the vector is likely instantiated with a size of 4 or what-ever, and there are never more than 2 items in the list
12:42:55 <glx[d]> Modifying in a controlled manner is ok I think, like the removal handling in the loop
12:43:11 <TrueBrain> it can cause a memmove, after which all iterators are kinda invalid πŸ˜›
12:43:51 <glx[d]> But iterator is updated in this case it seems
12:44:05 <TrueBrain> no no, check the `push_back` earlier in that file
12:44:18 <TrueBrain> that can extend the vector beyond its current size, causing a memmove
12:44:22 <TrueBrain> while iterating over it
12:45:26 <TrueBrain> so iterate -> Receive -> OnReceiveData(nullptr) -> Create new HTTP connection -> push_back
12:45:30 <TrueBrain> all blocking
12:46:09 <TrueBrain> took me a while to figure out why my new code was crashing, and the old wasn't πŸ˜›
12:49:23 *** jinks has quit IRC (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in)
12:49:44 <glx[d]> Yes Receive() has a "side effect" invalidating iterator, but theoricaly the caller is "fine", just assuming nothing weird happens in callee
12:50:36 <glx[d]> So broken but not directly visible without jumping around the code
12:51:01 <TrueBrain> just can't believe it doesn't crash in master πŸ˜›
12:51:17 <glx[d]> Luck maybe
12:51:29 <TrueBrain> ah, no, not luck in that sense .. well, a little bit
12:51:35 *** jinks has joined #openttd
12:51:39 <TrueBrain> I now realise why it does work ..
12:51:46 <TrueBrain> the first call does an HTTP request to get the list of content
12:51:56 <TrueBrain> this can cause a second call, BUT, that first needs DNS resolving
12:51:59 <TrueBrain> which is done threaded
12:52:17 <TrueBrain> if that second call was not done like that, but done directly to the HTTP connector, it wouldn't work
12:52:18 *** Jericho has quit IRC (Quit: User went offline on Discord a while ago)
12:52:37 <TrueBrain> well, yeah, so luck, in the sense: the second call is never done instantly
12:52:38 <TrueBrain> what a silly code
12:53:32 <TrueBrain> in other news, with relative little code I have libcurl working with OpenTTD, so we can make outbound https connections .. which is nice πŸ™‚
12:53:53 <TrueBrain> WinHttp for Windows is also easy
12:56:55 <Samu> I can't do something that should be so easy :(
13:03:37 <Samu> dP, do you remember this? https://github.com/SamuXarick/OpenTTD/commit/c6831a63a42456f620427073d9d3542ff40d81e9
13:04:38 <andythenorth[d]> ok so could we try moving these to base game? https://github.com/andythenorth/firs/blob/gs-is-real/src/gs/gs_templates/map_but_in_gs_lol.pynut
13:04:58 <andythenorth[d]> and giving them methods, instead of returning a list
13:05:25 <andythenorth[d]> 1. given a point x, y (or alternatively, tile index), is the point in the region?
13:06:33 <andythenorth[d]> 2. a 'yield all tiles' method which generates a sequence we can step through with 'next'. The x, y ranges needed to generate the sequence can be calculated from the constraints on the areas
13:07:04 <andythenorth[d]> I'd try and do it in Squirrel, but I'm so clueless about classes and methods, and also it seems to be trivial to create memory leaks with classes

13:09:55 <Xarick> this is the commit i linked, it is missing the rainforest
13:10:49 <Xarick> I wanted to add rainforest to be as close as possible as master, via your distancesquare method or some sort of algorithm
13:11:10 <Xarick> because it's much much faster at generating it that way than looking up on a table
13:11:54 <Xarick> the desert part is already quite similar, minor differences, but the rainforest is not 😦

15:41:03 <andythenorth[d]> 1000 of the areas are a rect of 500 x 500

15:43:11 <andythenorth[d]> 6000 areas is
15:43:16 <andythenorth[d]> so that looks pretty linear
15:44:09 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071818524948971610/image.png

15:44:58 <andythenorth[d]> unifying 120 areas, a more realistic upper limit I think
15:45:27 <Samu> how do i remove a tile from a std::vector<TileIndex>
15:46:03 <Samu> i tried desert_tiles.erate(tile); doesnt work
15:46:08 <Samu> erase*
15:47:11 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] 2TallTyler commented on pull request #10322: Feature: Change speed of calendar progress https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10322#issuecomment-1418066837
15:49:08 <JGR> Samu: erase in this context uses an index into the array, not a stored value
15:53:04 <Samu> desert_tiles.erase(std::find(desert_tiles.begin(), desert_tiles.end(), t));
15:53:09 <Samu> this works, :o
15:54:37 <Samu> looks like I did it! but it's probably slow on 4k maps
15:56:12 <Samu> sheesh, it's slow
15:57:21 <andythenorth[d]> large maps πŸ˜›
15:57:29 <andythenorth[d]> the things we could do without them
15:57:44 <Samu> the erase function itself is slow
15:57:58 <Samu> or maybe it's the finding and erasing
15:58:02 <Samu> a combination of both
15:59:41 <JGR> Again, giant lists of tiles is really not the way to go, most of the time
16:00:51 <andythenorth[d]> I'm curious what the use case for giant tile lists is
16:01:01 <andythenorth[d]> other than the 'nuke a city' demolish area blast radius thing
16:01:55 <andythenorth[d]> I am 99% persuaded that 'pick a random tile within constraints' can be done without a list, accepting that random can sometimes yield unwanted results
16:02:46 <andythenorth[d]> the only case I can see for a giant list is to do a foreach over and area, running a command like GSTile.DemolishTile
16:03:44 <Samu> i failed, i turned something ultra fast as ultra slow
16:03:47 <andythenorth[d]> I am trying to work out how to write a generator
16:03:57 <andythenorth[d]> so that instead of a giant list, I can yield 'next tile'
16:04:11 <andythenorth[d]> just based on either tracking an x,y, or a tile index
16:04:28 <andythenorth[d]> but that is proper programming πŸ˜›
16:07:20 <Samu> https://gist.github.com/SamuXarick/4d1226c201967f3beb1eee3f931a7c02
16:07:23 <Samu> too slow

16:08:24 <andythenorth[d]> ok my script without instantiating any areas πŸ˜›
16:09:13 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071824830409756742/image.png
16:09:13 <andythenorth[d]> script with 1200 areas
16:09:24 <andythenorth[d]> JGR: ^ less concerning? πŸ˜›
16:09:49 <andythenorth[d]> it might use more than that during some ops, but it's not leaking at least
16:09:54 <JGR> Sounds better than gobbling up 1GB πŸ˜›
16:12:02 <andythenorth[d]> see if I can break it with a stupid loop
16:12:18 <andythenorth[d]> seems not
16:13:26 <andythenorth[d]> oh
16:13:28 <andythenorth[d]> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1071825898938048542/image.png

16:15:18 <andythenorth[d]> ok that's more expected result
16:15:50 <andythenorth[d]> 600 areas in 50 regions
16:25:59 <andythenorth[d]> switched from lists of x,y pairs to lists of tile indexes
16:26:07 <andythenorth[d]> hard to tell if it's more memory efficient
16:26:45 <andythenorth[d]> might also be slower, it has to do more GSMap.GetTileX() and GSMap.GetTileIndex() type lookups

17:27:44 <michi_cc[d]> I did put a news image into #249 at least πŸ™‚
17:35:57 <andythenorth[d]> ha so areas and regions might just be slow and eat memory?
17:36:14 <andythenorth[d]> even if we do a native implementation, not squirrel?
17:36:31 <andythenorth[d]> such things πŸ™‚
17:38:00 <TallTyler> I don't understand why it's not just a range of TileIndexes, but I don't know exactly what you're trying to do πŸ™‚
17:38:50 <glx[d]> nobody does πŸ˜‰
17:41:23 <glx[d]> for some reasons andy wants to get a list of tiles before doing stuff with them (like choosing one of them randomly)
17:41:45 <andythenorth[d]> it's mostly this https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Development/Design%20Drafts/Scripts/Area%20Control
17:42:08 <andythenorth[d]> squares and circles
17:42:26 <andythenorth[d]> they can't be persistent lists, that will absolutely bloat memory
17:42:34 <andythenorth[d]> regions could be large areas of the map
17:42:50 <andythenorth[d]> they have to be simple calculations for areas based on rect or circle
17:44:13 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
17:45:22 <glx[d]> hmm you could get a random (x, y) from circle
17:48:18 <andythenorth[d]> yes
17:48:31 <andythenorth[d]> the problem with not putting lists in memory
17:48:41 <andythenorth[d]> is that doing the calculations is dog slow
17:48:50 <andythenorth[d]> as far as I can tell
17:49:20 <andythenorth[d]> random(x, y) is probably fast initially, but needs to loop until it finds a valid tile to build on
17:50:42 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] 2TallTyler approved pull request #10446: Some cleanup following the AI/GS config window split https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10446#pullrequestreview-1284320003
17:51:31 <JGR> You need to do those exact same calculations, in greater number, to populate the lists in the first place?
17:52:53 <andythenorth[d]> depends how out of date regions can regarding the map
17:52:54 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] 2TallTyler commented on pull request #10411: Expose more functions to game scripts https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10411#issuecomment-1418200898
17:53:05 <andythenorth[d]> I'm not proposing the caching strategy, it's not viable
17:53:12 <andythenorth[d]> but the other route is slow
17:53:18 <glx[d]> you could cache delta_y values
17:53:38 <andythenorth[d]> at least, it seems slow, using the limited seconds-resolution timing I have available
17:53:55 <andythenorth[d]> and that GS seems quite inconsistent in performance
17:54:33 <andythenorth[d]> the initial results were promising because I was gain using the free opcodes at game start
17:54:56 <andythenorth[d]> but resolving the tiles for a single simpl-ish region can take 20 seconds in normal play
17:55:04 <andythenorth[d]> not really viable eh πŸ™‚
17:55:31 <andythenorth[d]> possibly resolving the tiles for a region shouldn't be possible
17:55:51 <andythenorth[d]> πŸ˜›
17:55:55 <glx[d]> only radius delta_y values are needed
17:56:09 <andythenorth[d]> for the circle? Yes then just look them up by x
17:56:45 <andythenorth[d]> 50% of what I am trying to do is already in GS, via GSTileList.AddRect
17:56:55 <andythenorth[d]> but I am reimplementing it as we seem to be against GSTileList
17:57:14 <andythenorth[d]> and I am not using GSTileList for the results either on the same basis
17:58:01 <andythenorth[d]> just simple array()
17:58:26 <glx[d]> your GetTiles() is already calling DeltaYFromDeltaXPythagoras() twice as much as needed
17:59:09 <andythenorth[d]> because we can just do one half and invert the sign?
17:59:56 <glx[d]> yes -delta_x and +delta_x give the same delta_y
18:00:27 <andythenorth[d]> I suspect that GetTiles() shouldn't exist at all πŸ™‚
18:00:34 <glx[d]> that too πŸ™‚
18:00:41 <andythenorth[d]> the main use case for this would be nuking cities, and drawing smiley faces on the map
18:01:06 <glx[d]> what you want is just GetRandomTile
18:01:26 <andythenorth[d]> for the industry locating case yes
18:01:31 <andythenorth[d]> not for the nuking cities case πŸ˜›
18:02:23 <andythenorth[d]> I suspect that my Rect2 function is also stupid
18:02:28 <glx[d]> are you nuking cities more than locating industries ?
18:02:31 <andythenorth[d]> no
18:02:45 <andythenorth[d]> Rect2 doesn't do any modulo on the distance
18:02:56 <andythenorth[d]> and I suspect that we can just flood-fill the list from tile indexes somehow
18:03:00 <glx[d]> yeah Rect2 is already provided by the API (somehow)
18:03:13 <andythenorth[d]> GSTileList.AddRect
18:03:34 <andythenorth[d]> for (TileIndex t : ta) this->AddItem(t);
18:04:42 <andythenorth[d]> I need to add methods like TileIsInArea() or something
18:04:47 <andythenorth[d]> that's the more interesting case
18:04:57 <andythenorth[d]> and shouldn't need lists, just calculations
18:06:35 <glx[d]> yes and it's not complex calculation `x >= origin_x - radius && x <= origin_x + radius`
18:06:45 *** smoke_fumus has joined #openttd
18:08:02 <glx[d]> and if that's valid you do the same for y (using `delta_y(abs(x - origin_x))`)
18:11:15 <glx[d]> oh `abs(x - origin_x) <= radius` should work too for the check

20:27:02 <TrueBrain> okay, found it .... hidden in the forest of documentation, you have to call `WinHttpReceiveResponse` after the request is sent ... I don't even ... ugh πŸ˜›
20:28:45 <TrueBrain> "async", but you have to push the state machine forward ... `WinHttpQueryDataAvailable` has to be called after you receive the headers
20:28:51 <TrueBrain> this is so more complicated than it has to be
20:30:33 <frosch> meh, looks like there was no update to the networking TS since 2018, so no easier standard solution in sight. it's still all boost πŸ™‚
20:30:54 <TrueBrain> TS?
20:31:26 <frosch> technical specification, i.e. the PR/discussion section of the c++ spec
20:31:41 <TrueBrain> ah
20:32:50 <frosch> boost.asio exists since 2005 or something. inclusion of it has been a plan since c++17, then the gpu people joined in on the executor stuff, then coroutines, ...
20:32:52 <andythenorth[d]> goes it extend tiles to put region pointer on them? πŸ˜›
20:33:18 <frosch> maybe executors made it to c++23, not sure, so maybe after that networking it is :p
20:33:32 <TrueBrain> owh wow ... this WinHttp .. it can call a callback while in a callback
20:33:40 <TrueBrain> not sure what to think about all this πŸ™‚
20:34:41 <frosch> isn't there some kind of "waitmultipleobjects" instead of callbacks?
20:34:53 <TrueBrain> the callback pumps the statemachine
20:34:59 <TrueBrain> it is just a bit odd, in many ways ..
20:35:02 <TrueBrain> also very old
20:35:08 <TrueBrain> and they kept adding stuff πŸ˜›
20:35:20 <TrueBrain> a better solution would be to do this threaded, and sync
20:35:31 <TrueBrain> but .. yeah .. that requires way too much changes throughout our code πŸ™‚
20:36:37 <frosch> you can always do it sync in a new thread, and then add your own callback stuff between the threads
20:40:01 <TrueBrain> nah, I now almost got it .. it is just a really odd duck
20:43:59 <TrueBrain> "async" they said .. just a lie, if you ask me πŸ˜›
20:44:25 <TrueBrain> `WINHTTP_CALLBACK_STATUS_READ_COMPLETE` is triggered during `WinHttpReadData` which you call in `WINHTTP_CALLBACK_STATUS_DATA_AVAILABLE`
20:44:39 <TrueBrain> which means you need an internal bool to know inside `WINHTTP_CALLBACK_STATUS_DATA_AVAILABLE` it was the last piece of data
20:44:47 <TrueBrain> which you expect you could do in `WINHTTP_CALLBACK_STATUS_READ_COMPLETE`
20:44:56 <TrueBrain> it is so weird
20:48:20 <dP> what's the simplest way to test x86 build?
20:48:30 <dP> somehow I managed to screw it up :/

21:01:55 <andythenorth[d]> areas for the Samu rainforest thing? πŸ˜›
21:02:44 <andythenorth[d]> how about we restrict maps to 1048576 tiles, in arbitrary combinations πŸ˜›
21:02:47 <Samu> hi
21:02:57 <Samu> dP, you're the area expert!
21:02:58 <andythenorth[d]> then expand our memory use with lots of tile caches / layers / areas
21:03:01 <Samu> can u help me
21:05:15 <dP> I don't understand what you're trying to do
21:05:21 <dP> my code is just bfs
21:05:40 <dP> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search>
21:11:23 <Samu> i wanna do this https://gist.github.com/SamuXarick/4d1226c201967f3beb1eee3f931a7c02#file-landscape-cpp-L44-L55
21:11:30 <Samu> but smarter, faster
21:12:10 <Samu> calculate the shortest distance to the closest desert tile
21:16:38 <andythenorth[d]> you probably just have to search outwards
21:17:30 <andythenorth[d]> dunno πŸ™‚
21:17:34 <andythenorth[d]> map stuff is always hard πŸ˜›
21:20:41 <dP> Samu: why does that even matter? afiact you're just changing TROPICZONE_NORMAL into TROPICZONE_RAINFOREST in some rare cases?
21:23:06 <dP> Samu: the obvious way to make it faster is just check the area within the 7 tile radius instead of the whole map
21:23:27 <dP> but in general you seem to do something weird
21:23:45 <dP> it would be better to just assign zones right on the first pass
21:25:11 <Samu> I guess, but how do I do it?
21:25:20 <Samu> there are 3 zones
21:26:30 <Samu> you first assign everything that is not water to be desert, that part i understood
21:26:45 <Samu> then the queue magic is too much for my understanding
21:27:02 <Samu> it's bfs but so smart
21:28:15 <andythenorth[d]> it's just hard to make a picture of what it's doing
21:28:26 <TrueBrain> oof .. the hardest part of Windows ... translating an error code to a string ... lol
21:28:39 <TrueBrain> `HTTP request failed: generic error - unknown error 12007`
21:28:39 <andythenorth[d]> what does `auto &p = queue.front();` do?
21:28:42 <TrueBrain> not all the friendly etc
21:29:46 <Samu> picks the front tile pair
21:29:50 <Samu> in the queue
21:29:55 <JGR> `auto &p = queue.front();`
21:29:59 <Samu> i dunno
21:30:02 <JGR> `queue.pop();`
21:30:11 <JGR> This looks dodgy
21:30:37 <Samu> should it be auto p = queue.front();?
21:30:58 <JGR> Yes
21:31:10 <glx[d]> yeah don't reference something you might delete
21:31:19 <Samu> visual studio complained about something about p
21:31:32 <Samu> and the auto fix was to put it &p
21:32:03 <TrueBrain> `HTTP request failed: The server name or address could not be resolved`
21:32:04 <TrueBrain> much better
21:32:57 <Samu> VS says: 'auto' doesn't deduce references. A possible unintended copy is being made.
21:33:51 <JGR> Just ignore it, or specify the actual type you want
21:34:44 <glx[d]> you explicitely don't want a reference here, as it will be invalidated by pop()
21:35:36 <glx[d]> so a copy is fine (and mostly intended)
21:35:43 <Samu> std::pair p = queue.front();
21:36:02 <JGR> What are you actually trying to achieve with this queue?

21:37:09 <TrueBrain> now with WinHttp support ^^ πŸ™‚
21:38:11 <Samu> i want the queue to do magic!, ask dP, he created this piece of code
21:38:25 <andythenorth[d]> is it magic?
21:38:38 <andythenorth[d]> or is it just stepping through all tiles, checking neighbours, and setting a terrain type bit?
21:39:01 <Samu> it seems to turn desert tiles into normal
21:39:08 <Samu> but according to a criteria
21:39:20 <Samu> then it adds more tile pairs, which is the confusing part
21:39:23 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] TrueBrain updated pull request #10448: Add: use https:// for content-service connections https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10448
21:39:52 <Samu> and i say it's magic because it doesn't trigger an assert, doesn't create an infinite queue

21:40:08 <Samu> and the results are amazingly close to the original in master

21:56:16 <LordAro> someone should be
21:58:42 <TrueBrain> `Passengers from Parnford to Wuham (Parnford Transport, 12 minutes left)` .. that would be so lovely ... I see this more often in games lately, where they use real time to indicate when something happens that is important to you
21:58:47 <TrueBrain> makes things so much easier to process as human
22:00:34 <andythenorth[d]> real time, or just arbitrary time since game start
22:00:48 <andythenorth[d]> the downside of real time, it reminds you how many hours you lost to OpenTTD
22:01:29 <TrueBrain> I was playing a factorio mod (a very large mod, but who is counting) that surprised me with this .. it said: in 24h, something bad happened. And I was like: 24h game-time? What makes a day?
22:01:33 <TrueBrain> but it meant 24h real time
22:01:39 <TrueBrain> which happened a lot quicker than I expected πŸ˜›
22:02:47 <TrueBrain> ended up wasting 300+h on that mod, so it happened more than once πŸ˜›
22:03:34 <TrueBrain> I hadn't read #10322 in detail yet, but it really would make things a lot easier to understand in many regards .. I think it is pretty fancy πŸ˜„

22:09:07 <TrueBrain> at least it compiled the winhttp fine .. just some silly warnings

22:16:32 <andythenorth[d]> \o/
22:30:16 <TallTyler> andythenorth[d]: It's always relative to the current time, and changes as you look at it. Timetables have the most obvious example, since they're in multiples of two seconds.

22:33:11 <petern> Why did I decide to pick up my Beneath a Steel Sky savegame...
22:34:18 <andythenorth[d]> TallTyler: it could be patched at root - real time vs elapsed time since game start
22:34:34 <andythenorth[d]> just change the call to system clock or time now - start time πŸ˜›
22:35:30 <TallTyler> I thought about it, honestly
22:36:28 <TallTyler> But figured that would open a can of worms regarding pause, fast-forward, and OS differences
22:37:34 <JGR> That might be particularly entertaining on multiplayer
22:40:39 <TallTyler> It's all stored (and sent) in ticks and dates, so it might be fine

22:59:04 <Samu> reduced from 125 seconds to 35 seconds, in debug mode
22:59:10 <Samu> generating a 4k map
22:59:38 <Samu> but missing the rainforest
23:03:12 <Samu> can be faster, run tile loop doesn't need to run
23:03:52 <Samu> yep, 21 seconds
23:03:58 <Samu> down from 125
23:05:42 <FLHerne> tbh I still kind of agree with Zorg
23:06:04 <FLHerne> the real-world time thing does break immersion in a way I really don't enjoy
