11:31:23 <peter1138> New meta: houses must face town roads now (maybe even if the road is changed later...)
11:37:21 <truebrain> don't give them ideas .....
11:42:02 <peter1138> They already had that.
12:39:46 <truebrain> one way to demotivate people, I guess 🙂
12:41:42 <andythenorth> forums gonna forums

17:01:16 <aviationgamerx> I wanted to ask developers a question not related to openttd, where is the right place
17:25:26 <LordAro> you should try asking and seeing what happens
17:38:48 <aviationgamerx> So I don't know where or who to ask but, if I want to start contributing to projects on github, where should I start, I'm not sure if it's right to ask here, but since most here have worked on github, I thought I'd take it from you guys
17:41:21 *** Tirili has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
18:01:36 <Wolf01> V453000, is it real that the F DLC will cost more than the base game?
18:11:39 <talltyler> Start with OpenTTD 😛
18:23:57 <aviationgamerx> talltyler: I mean sure, I am looking for a c++ project, but I feel there won't be any beginner friendly tasks to work on, and I am sure more people can be more helpful to openttd than I could in my current level at least
18:27:34 <aviationgamerx> unless there is small things I can start with
18:29:07 <LordAro> issues may or may not be small or easy
18:33:54 <aviationgamerx> LordAro: intresting, I'll try to check it out
18:34:19 <aviationgamerx> thanks guys, I really appreciate it
19:00:12 <Wolf01> You'll start with a little project and end up with new road types...
19:03:16 <truebrain> No no, you start with a little project and 20 years later you are still doing that .. just not so little anymore 😛
19:07:58 <aviationgamerx> 😂 let's just hope I can start taking the first steps and let the waves take me to wherever the new roads end
19:38:09 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
19:40:58 *** tokai|noir has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
19:57:03 <_glx_> usually you start with fixing things that annoy you 🙂
19:57:25 <_glx_> for me it was the floppy disk
20:20:15 <aviationgamerx> _glx_: people still use them? oh wait nvm it was a long time ago
20:20:28 <aviationgamerx> wait a second, github was a thing back then?!
20:20:36 <aviationgamerx> I thought it was something as new as discord
20:21:04 <_glx_> no at that time it was still sourceforge
20:22:58 <aviationgamerx> _glx_: now I am even more shocked, I thought that place was a minecraft mod place or download website
20:23:15 <aviationgamerx> they all use git?
20:23:50 <aviationgamerx> or their version of VCS
20:26:34 <peter1138> It was cvs or svn back then.
20:27:01 <peter1138> SourceForge used to be very popular for open source projects, until they pivoted to being shit.
20:27:03 <aviationgamerx> _glx_: it's cool to see how people start tho, 19 years ago nice man, I was still like 1 years old back then
20:29:09 <aviationgamerx> peter1138: I see, sounds like most companies that start hiring people to make them more money, even it means taking away what made it once great
20:29:38 <peter1138> Enshittification is still an ongoing problem, but it was quite early for them. I'm surprised its still going.
20:29:56 <peter1138> You occasionally find some ancient obsolete stuff that's still set up there.
20:39:54 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
20:42:09 <aviationgamerx> peter1138: nice
20:42:26 <aviationgamerx> is this thing a bug or a new feature that will be implemented
20:42:55 <aviationgamerx> sounds like it requires that the maximum changes with inflation
20:44:40 <aviationgamerx> also I stupidly left the openttd organization when I left the translation team... Is there a way I can rejoin it
20:52:34 <talltyler> In other words, the setting already handles inflation, but the user interface doesn’t display that, and the best way to fix it is to rephrase the setting in a different way
20:55:40 *** Tirili has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
21:02:36 <aviationgamerx> the setting is good as it is, it maybe requires to change it to precentage once inflation is enabled
21:13:08 <aviationgamerx> well will see it another day hopefully, thanks to everyone for helping out today, and hope you good luck in your tasks
21:20:39 *** nielsm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
21:23:54 <talltyler> I would change the setting regardless of inflation
21:25:50 <soylent_cow[m]> how come i can't seem to print or change settings with rcon? like rcon PASS setting industry_density produces the help text
21:26:00 <soylent_cow[m]> going from the server console works just fine
21:26:45 <peter1138> Speaking of which, your quotes from matrix are messed up when bridged to IRC (and the Discord)
21:27:55 <soylent_cow[m]> yeah i realized the screenshots i been posting are not really reaching the audience either
21:28:11 <peter1138> Nobody actually uses matrix because it's a shit show.
21:37:56 <truebrain> Of all the options, it is not even in the top 10
21:38:04 <truebrain> And there are only 3 options 😛
21:38:19 *** D-HUND is now known as debdog
21:41:04 <truebrain> Ghehe, okay, that was a nice one 🙂
21:41:43 *** keikoz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
21:48:39 <soylent_cow[m]> <peter1138> "Nobody actually uses matrix..." <- not sure why so negative, i like it ok. discord has nicer features, but also antifeatures up the wazoo. irc is simple, unless one wants to use it on the go, and also some servers make it a huge pita to auth. for my money, it's a shit show everywhere. i use them all btw.
22:49:10 *** Wolf01 has quit IRC (Quit: Once again the world is quick to bury me.)
continue to next day ⏵
