08:01:46  <_zephyris> Let's give him some love ❤️



08:17:45  <andythenorth_> Mostly I just need to not embroil myself in arguments :|



08:18:31  <andythenorth_> I have perfectionist tendencies, plus a disregard of current norms if I think they”re wrong



08:19:28  <andythenorth_> Add those to “never back down” as a learnt behaviour….not a good outcome



08:40:09  *** wpiwpi has quit IRC (Quit: User went offline on Discord a while ago)



09:01:12  <peter1138> Can we remove ScriptRoad's ROADTYPE_ROAD and ROADTYPE_TRAM values?



09:01:57  <peter1138> Or has it been subverted into a RoadTramType selector?



09:03:28  <peter1138> Context: https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=92704



09:06:39  <pickpacket> wait... are zeppelins different from other "planes"?



09:07:59  <peter1138> Yes. There's a zeppelin disaster.



09:08:54  <andythenorth_> Zellepins



09:09:13  <LordAro> peter1138: interesting



09:15:19  <xarick> hi



09:15:51  <andythenorth_> Unsure what this could be https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=1278187#p1278187



09:17:56  <andythenorth_> Not many changes since 5.1.1 https://github.com/andythenorth/firs/commits?author=andythenorth



09:18:25  <andythenorth_> Maybe RVG is depending on cargo classes 🤷‍♂️



09:23:12  <xarick> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1474335573295628394/image.png?ex=69997980&is=69982800&hm=ae0d54fcf4de26fcab94625e619616643cee463d15502ef14c56fa4d808aed87&



09:23:12  <xarick> gonna load all these newgrfs



09:25:38  <peter1138> Now that andythenorth_ can't reply I'm posting in the FIRS thread...



09:28:16  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] James103 opened issue #15318: [Bug]: Nonsensical error message when trying to send aircraft to hanger with no usable airports https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/issues/15318



09:31:19  <andythenorth_> Oof I’ve outsourced support 🙃



09:31:26  <andythenorth_> Life goal achieved



09:32:42  <reldred> hah, neither issue really seems like anything new, RVG breaking any time a grf updates, building ports/wharfs/etc. being weird. Nothing new under the sun.



09:33:12  <xarick> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1474338087919292437/image.png?ex=69997bd8&is=69982a58&hm=c4b68793783f62eea057f71aea427a50a871b9a03f6bfb7bea48bc55c934b3e5&



09:33:12  <xarick> WormAI doesn't like these newgrfs



09:35:17  <andythenorth_> GS chasing grf is a moving target



09:35:34  <andythenorth_> Unless it’s an integrated compile like FIRS GS



09:35:56  <andythenorth_> Can GS read badges? 👀



09:39:31  <andythenorth_> Could move / replace all the town effect cargo stuff



09:40:03  <andythenorth_> We could have openttd add badges if the town effect bits are set on a cargo



09:40:34  <andythenorth_> That might pump prime enough for mod authors to use them



10:06:02  <xarick> oh, it's not a WormAI crash, it's a me editing WormAI leaving it in a crashable state



10:31:47  <xarick> ah... the beauty of NewGRFs



10:32:24  <xarick> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1474352984472158290/image.png?ex=699989b7&is=69983837&hm=4376d4bcb4649128b5ce6cf3bc2f469fad90e77d29a7942399f578fd95a080f1&



10:32:24  <xarick> the default cargo is engineering supplies

12:55:57  <LordAro> wait, that was right?



12:56:03  <LordAro> was a complete guess



13:03:18  <peter1138> Apparently so.



14:45:41  <andythenorth_> Lunch?



14:45:49  <andythenorth_> I had sea bass

15:21:05  <andythenorth_> Hmm



15:21:29  <andythenorth_> Horse vehicle generations are 30 year span



15:21:50  <andythenorth_> Considering a North American grf with 25 year spans



15:22:01  *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)



15:24:15  *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd



15:30:50  <talltyler> North American passenger trains are forced to have 50-year lifespans these days... 🙂



15:40:09  <xarick> what is the preferrable EOL for .nut files and encoding



15:40:44  <xarick> CR LF, UTF-8, Unix, ANSI... choochoo has all of them



15:41:00  <LordAro> then the obvious answer is "it doesn't matter"



15:41:19  <LordAro> though i'd imagine anything other than ANSI/UTF-8 would have a bad time



15:42:11  <xarick> he also mixing 4 spaces and tabs



15:42:27  <LordAro> the horror



15:43:01  <xarick> hmm well i want to make a PR, just not sure what style I go with



15:43:12  <xarick> PR @ choochoo repository



15:43:19  <LordAro> whichever is used where you're editing



15:43:46  <LordAro> but usually it means the author doesn't care so it probably doesn't matter



15:51:50  *** Wormnest has joined #openttd



16:05:16  <xarick> oh, choochoo uses the £ symbol in some files, is this ANSI or UTF-8?



16:06:55  <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] rubidium42 opened pull request #15320: Codechange: improve some pathfinder documentation https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/15320



16:15:03  <LordAro> xarick: that'll be the difference, it's not ANSI



16:16:18  <xarick> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1474439530487746640/image.png?ex=6999da51&is=699888d1&hm=8565ccc69b20e68922b2a6933e3383624b8734f0b02c1733265b61c2eac0111a&



16:16:18  <xarick> UTF-8 didn't work



16:16:52  <LordAro> *whatever conversion you used didn't work



16:17:01  <LordAro> £ is usually UTF-8, but might be cp-1252



16:17:09  <LordAro> and none of this is anything you understand, so stop worrying about it



16:18:26  <xarick> i used Notepad++



16:18:35  <xarick> Convert ANSI to UTF-8



16:18:56  <mmtunligit> hes compromised



16:28:33  <xarick> nop, only ANSI prints the correct £



16:28:43  <xarick> tried Windows-1252



16:35:04  <andythenorth_> We have industry badges?



16:35:21  <andythenorth_> (Am on phone, hard to check)



16:36:47  *** brickblock19280 has joined #openttd



16:36:47  <brickblock19280> Yes



16:36:51  <brickblock19280> Idk why tho



16:37:54  <brickblock19280> Only really useful for tiles to work with industries from what I can tell



16:39:45  <andythenorth_> I don’t see industry badges in grf wiki



16:40:09  <brickblock19280> I saw them in the nml one



16:41:43  <andythenorth_> If script could read badges…



16:42:18  <andythenorth_> Hmm…also if the grf (action 14) could declare badges



16:46:35  <andythenorth_> Might be the missing piece for economy GS



16:53:40  <andythenorth_> Maybe I just add some to FIRS and see what happens



16:55:02  <andythenorth_> firs/steel_mill



16:55:40  <andythenorth_> maybe firs/industry_type/steel_mill



16:56:05  <andythenorth_> Or firs_industry_type/steel_mill



16:56:23  <andythenorth_> Dunno, string schemes eh 🙂

17:05:57  <peter1138> mnnmthi



17:06:06  <peter1138> hm



17:07:54  <andythenorth_> more reusable would be: industry_type/steel_mill



17:08:21  <andythenorth_> And grf/firs and firs/version



17:09:54  <andythenorth_> Wonder what squirrel string handling is like



17:10:42  <andythenorth_> GSIndustry.ListBadges, then parse the result? Or GSIndustry.HasBadge()



17:24:13  <andythenorth_> Ho



17:24:43  <andythenorth_> I could expose the FIRS economy parameter setting on the industry instance also



17:24:55  <andythenorth_> Side channel abuses :/

22:29:22  *** keimfrei has joined #openttd



22:29:22  <keimfrei> Greetings, short question. Is it possible to "pre-enter" the company name and manager name so that they appear automatically when the game starts without having to enter them again? Similar to player colors and portraits.
