04:43:36 <DorpsGek> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)
06:49:05 <merni> Time for currency newgrfs?
06:50:23 <truebrain> talltyler: I am with you on that one. We have had some odd currency requests in the past, we denied most of those. The idea behind it was: there is custom currency, so let's stop adding more 😛 But for those languages we have translations .. it doesn't hurt etc etc 🙂
06:52:56 <goddess_ishtar> I, for one, love incurring scope creep by flooding the UI with even more extremely niche options and we should do it more
07:13:41 <DorpsGek> - Add: summary for week 29 of 2024 (by OpenTTD Survey)
07:15:46 <truebrain> Yeah, sarcasm. Very useful addition to the conversation, tnx. Owh, this is also sarcasm 😛
07:24:54 <goddess_ishtar> And not entirely sarcastic
07:25:25 <goddess_ishtar> there is a part of me that just wants to board UI elements like a goblin
07:27:34 <ahyangyi> Provide an overwhelming number of options, then hear people complaining, and add an overwhelming numberof parameters to provide different ways to "cut down the options" 😛
07:27:48 <goddess_ishtar> Mostly, I have absolutely no opinion on this, and I just default to sarcasm no matter what the actual context
07:28:57 <ahyangyi> I'm actually working on that "add lots of parameters to customize the very huge (station) list" part 😛
08:00:01 <wensimehrp> merni: There already is one
08:00:12 <wensimehrp> Alternative currencies I think
08:01:44 <wensimehrp> ahyangyi: I'd rather hide the options 🤠
08:02:38 <ahyangyi> bury options under automagic stations
08:03:02 <ahyangyi> You can build only 1 station, but it has 114514 different possible look-and-feels depending on the context
09:18:29 <wensimehrp> such random number
09:22:02 <peter1139> Maybe I need that option to download all NewGRFs ;p
09:27:20 <peter1138> Sorry SSD and Bananas.
09:37:27 <truebrain> Cloudflare / OCI can take it! NOTHING TO BE SORRY ABOUT! And your SSD .. pffff, it has to deal with it! 🙂
09:39:54 *** toktik has quit IRC (Quit: Ping timeout (120 seconds))
09:51:04 <peter1139> Not to mention by poor OpenTTD loading times :D
09:56:29 <truebrain> You still haven't fixed that?
09:56:35 <truebrain> Cache that shit already! 😛
10:07:30 <peter1139> truebrain, easier to spend €10k upgrading the computer ;-)
10:11:29 <johnfranklin> Is it an Apple Studio?
10:17:55 <peter1139> Isn't there a specific feature for leaderboards instead of story books?
10:18:20 <peter1139> Scriptable league tables.
10:18:55 <LordAro> not that there's any particular reason why the above shouldn't be added
10:20:02 <peter1139> Other than "where do you stop"
10:20:34 <peter1139> And isn't there a string code that will just automatically use the current name? Not sure if storybook supports parameters...
10:21:19 <LordAro> we have all sorts of functions for getting/setting company manager names, which are completely pointless as far as an AI is concerned
10:28:31 <peter1139> Is an event type for company being renamed all that's needed? What if I the manager name is changed, or a town is renamed, or...
10:30:55 <LordAro> there are people that want GSes to be able to intercept commands, so this could be considered something similar
10:32:25 *** akimoto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
10:32:51 <peter1139> Well, "know about" rather than intercept.
10:35:45 <pickpacket> Errh. I was going to ask something about that... Not sure what it was or why I posted before typing it :P
11:04:17 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
11:08:47 <peter1139> "Why does this NewGRF without cargo translation table work correctly?"
11:09:14 <peter1139> "Oh shit, I'm testing with #12646 applied."
11:13:03 <peter1139> Although even then, some do work.
11:13:17 <peter1139> Not sure if that's deliberate or accidental.
11:23:19 <kuhnovic> IT decided it was time for a non-optional update to Windows 11...
11:24:14 <peter1139> Sorry to hear that.
11:26:06 <kuhnovic> I'm especially dreading the BIOS update that comes with it
11:26:31 <LordAro> those are not usually related updates
11:27:21 <kuhnovic> I know, but they get pushed as a package deal in this case
11:27:44 <kuhnovic> One co-worker's machine already got bricked hehe
11:42:53 *** Ox7C5 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
11:45:09 <audigex> And probably only gonna happen on fairly tinkered-with systems where you’ve turned your install into an edge case in some way
12:10:23 *** Flygon has quit IRC (Quit: A toaster's basically a soldering iron designed to toast bread)
12:44:48 <kuhnovic> My work pc survived the update
12:44:55 <kuhnovic> Now I actually need to do work
12:52:42 *** locosage has joined #openttd
12:52:42 <locosage> I have company rename event on citymania, using it to update db entry
12:53:54 <locosage> Also, problem with company strung codes is that they only work for companies that are currently in the game
12:55:13 <locosage> If you want leaderboard to include companies that closed you either need two ways of dieting the name or avoid string code
12:57:59 <locosage> Btw, using string for a name was not very possible before 14.0 and raw_string
13:30:57 <peter1139> Hmm, guess I need to adjust my bike-fit :S
13:31:11 <peter1139> Fix one thing, make something else worse...
13:42:09 <peter1139> Lower back pain. Used to happen when I was skinny, but I'm not skinny at the moment.
13:51:11 <andythenorth> Good ones are magic
14:19:13 *** SigHunter has joined #openttd
14:47:38 <kuhnovic> I don't see how it helps with back pain though
14:51:25 <pickpacket> Probably depends on the friends. And the back
14:51:31 <pickpacket> Maybe even the pain
14:53:37 <kuhnovic> Friends that are a pain in the ass might lead to a pain in the back as well. Especially if they are the back stabbing types.
14:53:47 <kuhnovic> But then you really need new friends
14:59:10 <pickpacket> At least when you have friends like that you don't need enemies
15:00:50 <goddess_ishtar> optimise your relationships for minimum members
15:26:23 <pickpacket> goddess_ishtar: yup! If you find yourself having too many you'll have to dismember some
15:54:05 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
16:07:03 <truebrain> at least I know it was BaNaNaS causing the traffic 😄
16:07:19 <truebrain> the traffic that remains is much less spiky 😛
16:45:57 <_glx_> and you have the same info from oci ?
17:20:50 <peter1139> ^ We ended up making the obsolete block signals too easily accessible, really.
17:37:52 *** gelignite has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
18:02:09 <andythenorth> peter1139: Lot of pitchforks at the time though
18:05:03 *** Zathras is now known as debdog
18:13:43 <talltyler> I remember a Reddit post that was just a screenshot of the commit on GitHub entitled “Fuck you 2talltyler” 🙂
18:13:56 <talltyler> About as pitchforky as it gets
18:14:32 <andythenorth> “Sounds personal”
18:14:56 <andythenorth> I apologise on behalf of decent humans
18:35:19 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
18:35:53 * peter1139 porting some Python code to C++.

18:36:51 <peter1139> Oof, 6494 engines :D
18:38:02 <andythenorth> You’ve ported Horse to c++ 😛
18:38:13 <peter1139> Am I reading it correctly that the NewGRF classifier doesn't really treat Object NewGRFs as a thing...
18:38:57 *** nielsm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
18:39:16 <andythenorth> peter1139: Now filter out variants 🙂
18:41:31 <peter1139> Ah, it does, but they're referred to as "baseset" instead of "major" features.
18:55:38 <peter1139> After all this, it's kinda pointless. Oh well.
18:56:05 <peter1139> Downloading (and caching) the tags from bananas would be more useful.
