11:33:11 <peter1138> Heh, perhaps. They have PRs open but not Issues...
11:33:57 <peter1138> Ah they use Atlassian for bug tracking.
11:59:58 <LordAro> well you could PR it :p
12:11:25 <peter1138> > You will be automatically asked to sign the CLA before the PR is accepted.
13:14:21 *** nielsm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
15:05:16 <peter1138> First PR from freelancer...
15:05:33 <peter1138> I'm going to be strict...
15:56:58 *** Artea has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
16:02:27 <peter1138> Looking a squirrel code is a bit like looking at grfcodec code.
16:03:54 <audigex> peter1138: That's definitely a "usually works alone" PR situation
16:04:47 <audigex> tbf with my hobby projects I mostly ignore branching and just commit everything into master. Not great practice but I'm not at work and usually nobody else goes anywhere near it
16:12:33 <LordAro> i mean, it's definitely confusing
16:16:40 <LordAro> well i'm confused by it
16:17:23 <LordAro> is it that the expiration date is 2100 +/- N years?
16:18:21 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
16:21:33 <peter1138> Ah it's Christmas already...
16:31:01 <_glx_> I saw leftovers from easter yesterday
17:00:35 *** dropboxkenshiro has joined #openttd
17:00:35 <dropboxkenshiro> Can someone explain to me, why NewGRF are in this obtuse binary format usually requiring an obscure language to handle them? Is this just a historical thing kept for compatibility reasons?
17:17:35 <LordAro> it builds on the original grf format that the original base sets were in
17:19:59 <peter1138> 24 years of existing add-ons
17:31:40 <andythenorth> and then there's Squirrel 😛
17:33:35 <andythenorth> there's videos somewhere as well
17:33:51 <andythenorth> it would be quite nice if the videos were an AI hallucination about AI hallucinating Doom
17:33:57 <andythenorth> we're not quite there yet
17:36:00 <talltyler> That’s a silly question to ask the tech industry
17:36:10 *** Exec has quit IRC (Quit: File:///)
17:38:09 <andythenorth> iron law of any new tech: can it run Doom yet?
17:42:51 <peter1138> (Spoiler, it can't)

18:27:36 *** Flygon has quit IRC (Quit: A toaster's basically a soldering iron designed to toast bread)
18:32:17 <dropboxkenshiro> peter1138: Thanks guys for the answer!
19:21:35 <audigex> peter1138: If we ignored a need to be backward compatible with old versions, there’s presumably nothing to stop a new system being added alongside newGRF?
20:10:05 <andythenorth> maintaining 2 APIs
20:10:51 <andythenorth> I am waiting for AI hallucinated grfs
20:17:57 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
20:44:53 <audigex> andythenorth: I figured in this hypothetical scenario newGRF would be deprecated in terms of new features, only maintained for bugfixes
