08:21:27 <locosage> ricande: why? that's more work than using current tools
08:24:01 *** andythenorth_ has joined #openttd
08:59:28 <peter1138> Tile-painting, but yes, it looks awkward to use.
09:21:43 <_zephyris> Worth thinking about, but that does look like an odd implementation
09:22:16 <_zephyris> IMO dev aim should be a touchscreen suitable polyline, or similar
09:36:31 <peter1138> So click-click-click instead of dragging
09:39:15 <andythenorth_> do we have anything that can just draw on tiles?
09:39:40 <andythenorth_> most of our tools are drag areas
09:48:12 <peter1138> Chances of that being the sequential number exposing the number of clients this service has...
09:49:32 <locosage> autorail kinda draws on tiles
09:50:00 <locosage> polyrail patch just reuses that
09:59:00 <andythenorth_> it's personal taste, but polyrail isn't fun to use for me, not in the patches I've tried or other games
09:59:29 <andythenorth_> I just want a pen tool where I have to trace the route through every tile
09:59:39 <andythenorth_> but that's almost what autorail does anyway
10:00:45 <andythenorth_> drawing probably wouldn't be very accurate for | and - views, as it requires too much precision to hit the right tiles
10:03:07 <reldred> Yeah I'm far too sloppy with my trackball for that
10:14:36 *** SigHunter_ has joined #openttd
10:15:22 <peter1138> There's a knack to playing with balls
10:16:54 *** SigHunter has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
10:19:27 <will_marshall_> Something about Australia makes people turn trackball, very strange.
10:22:26 <locosage> when I wanted one I had to find a parcel forwarder from japan as they weren't sold internationally
10:22:44 *** SigHunter_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
10:23:23 <peter1138> will_marshall_, because it's upside-down of course.
10:23:59 <will_marshall_> You can velcro the trackball to your desk, mhm.
10:23:59 <locosage> yeah, historically there weren't upside-down mouses so they had to use it as trackball
10:24:33 <peter1138> Mine came from CEX, because I'm cheapskate.
10:24:50 <andythenorth_> is there a version of a wacom pad where the pen is fixed to the desk?
10:24:55 <andythenorth_> and you move the tablet around?
10:26:41 <locosage> funnily enough wireless trackballs are quite popular even though they don't move
10:27:40 *** SigHunter has joined #openttd
10:44:25 <reldred> will_marshall_: Carpal tunnel in my case
11:41:48 <peter1138> Hmm, why is codium/git being a pain...
11:42:57 <peter1138> Okay, restart fixed it.
12:38:39 *** Flygon has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
13:42:43 <_zephyris> Something like this?
13:43:39 <_zephyris> A bit of sand on the normal rocky coasts, to look more 'intentional', and colour matching for the toyland
13:43:43 <_zephyris> Can be iterated of/c
13:51:44 <_zephyris> Oops, I mean this one.
13:52:15 <_zephyris> Yeah... Scilly-inspired(!)
13:52:38 <_zephyris> I was trying to use it to define a non-straight coastline for the corner slopes

17:35:20 <dollarcoinguy> peter1138[d]: 🤮🤮 🤮
17:43:41 <andythenorth_> is that your work?
17:43:44 <andythenorth_> or did the AI do it?
17:50:32 <andythenorth_> I'd guess at actual code, but I can't tell AI faces from real ones, so eh
18:53:17 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
18:53:32 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
18:54:04 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
18:58:00 <peter1138> Escalated from "not sure that's possible" to "eh..."
18:59:01 <tabytac> I like that it removes the dead space, is the code for it clunky or not too bad?
19:00:26 <peter1138> It's "I'm not sure I'm not doing this the wrong way".
19:06:27 <peter1138> It's actually "quite clean"
19:06:50 <peter1138> The two layouts are entirely separate widget trees, so there's no mangling of things there.
19:07:27 <peter1138> Hmm, however, buttons are not buttoning :/
19:12:00 <peter1138> Yeah, that's annoying :(
19:13:32 <peter1138> Need to do something else so that the buttons are actually the same buttons.
19:15:28 <peter1138> Weak-pointer to a hidden widget? :o
19:52:01 <andythenorth_> definitely better in the peter patch
20:45:29 <peter1138> Weak widgets works. But feels very dirty :o
21:15:02 <andythenorth_> goes it release a new Horse?
