IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2026-08-05
⏴ go to previous day
00:19:02 <peter1138> Heh, title game follow vehicle mode is a bit silly, as the menu covers it.
00:19:30 <peter1138> Hm, unless that's manual coordinates.
00:21:05 <belajalilija> cool that this game has evolved more i think in the past 2 years than the 10 that came before
00:23:00 <belajalilija> i hope that whatever is going right in all of yous lives that is giving you the energy to do this continues to go right
00:28:21 <belajalilija> i say 2 years, it could be 3, i mean whenever variants were added as thats when things seemed to really pick up
01:20:08 <talltyler> The intro game can also anchor the corners (and edges IIRC) to a vehicle. Not that it’s much better.
01:20:28 <talltyler> I don’t think a title game with any sort of motion has won in a few years
01:20:47 *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
01:20:54 <talltyler> I am considering an extremely slow pan for next year’s entry (and am considering forgetting this idea well before then)
01:20:54 <reldred> time to alter the title menu further
01:21:14 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
01:21:55 <belajalilija> i wanna try make an entry for next year
01:22:06 <reldred> why do I now wanna play openrct2, I always sucked at RCT
01:22:18 <belajalilija> i'd slide in some subtle lgbt imagery because funny
01:22:18 <reldred> I dont have the patience for detailing
01:22:29 <belajalilija> reldred: its just a vibe
01:22:58 <belajalilija> just play six flags magic mountain and mess around
01:23:05 <belajalilija> its what i always did
01:23:09 <reldred> talltyler: Move play scenario and play heightmap to the middle so the left and right can be the same height/no. of options and merge it, yolo.
01:25:12 <talltyler> By mess around do you mean “drop the guests in water features and watch them drown”? 😛
01:25:40 <belajalilija> but i mostly just added to the park that was there
01:26:58 <belajalilija> i tended to try and make some synchronised wooden rollercoasters in that sandy empty part of the park near the end of those 2 synced launch thingies
01:27:16 <belajalilija> and also make a gokarts in that general area too
01:28:34 <belajalilija> i'd usually demolish that big elevator where everyone got stuck too and make it into flowerbeds

02:54:42 <mmtunligit> belajalilija: hmmm, can title games have multiple companies?
02:55:03 <mmtunligit> get a pink company a blue one and a white one and have the trains run in paralell
02:55:30 <mmtunligit> surely this will not result in *any* pitchforks
02:55:30 <belajalilija> mmtunligit: i mean you can just group recolour
02:55:37 <mmtunligit> belajalilija: oh yeahhhhhh
02:55:51 <belajalilija> mmtunligit: this is exactly what i was thinking
03:02:11 <emperorjake> Or have buses that are timetabled to queue in pride flag colours

06:18:35 <peter1138> Should be unsubtle.
07:11:57 <DorpsGek> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)
07:35:58 *** LordArtoo is now known as LordAro
07:48:48 <andythenorth_> no-one is immune
07:58:16 <peter1138> Hmm, NewGRF sounds are weird. You can only have one Action 11. What is an Action 0 for sounds meant to do with original sounds.
07:59:04 <peter1138> SoundEntry *sound = GetSound(first + _cur_gps.grffile->sound_offset - ORIGINAL_SAMPLE_COUNT);
08:00:00 <peter1138> If multiple NewGRFs have sound, this will allow you do fiddle about with sounds of the previous file?
08:01:12 <peter1138> > You cannot directly set the properties of IDs 0..48 that refer to TTD's original sounds, except by overriding these sounds using property 0A
08:01:16 <peter1138> So it should be prevented.
08:01:18 <andythenorth_> "so the specs" needs a gif
08:01:30 <andythenorth_> when will irc be editable? :P
08:01:34 <andythenorth_> we need a new chat format
08:02:57 <peter1138> Just re-read what you have written before pressing enter.
08:04:16 <andythenorth_> sometimes I do, but the letters move around :P
08:55:45 <andythenorth_> More like overconfidence I think 😛
09:20:57 <peter1138> Okay, so more probability values?
09:21:45 <peter1138> Or just let act7/9 handle it...
09:23:12 <peter1138> Probably: we want a placement callback, so keep the single base probability, and then let the NewGRF further decide.
10:17:52 <peter1138> Bloat the game with arbitrary tile-metadata?
10:21:30 <LordAro> pretty printed json tile metadata
10:33:24 <peter1138> Unused memory is wasted memory...
10:36:35 <peter1138> Hmm, Jira comments are hidden way outside everyone's field of view.
10:54:38 <peter1138> > This value is only meaningful in the DOS version, where there are limited mixing channels.
10:54:53 <peter1138> I wonder how many mixing channels the Windows version has?
10:55:12 <peter1138> Because we have 8, which is still "limited".

13:53:03 <andythenorth_> something something newgrfs
13:53:08 <andythenorth_> I should finish some
13:58:08 <andythenorth_> is it a reverse acryonym? 👀
13:58:24 <andythenorth_> never finished a roadtypes grf
13:58:30 <andythenorth_> never finished nml stations grf
14:33:20 <peter1138> > Trees Rather Earned Eye-candy Stuff
15:28:51 <_zephyris> Do you need optimised vanilla tree tables?
15:29:26 <peter1138> I'll update my PR so that you can see how it's handled :)
16:11:29 <peter1138> > I honestly dislike most of them and prefer the Toyland one

20:39:12 <andythenorth_> what's randomised starting company colour seeded from? 👀
20:39:22 <andythenorth_> I'm only getting grey, white, brown
20:39:28 <andythenorth_> but it might not be a large enough sample
20:41:53 <belajalilija> Getting even the same colour 3 times in a row isn’t statically unlikely
20:42:35 <belajalilija> So getting those 3 colours 10-20 times is quite possible
20:43:05 <belajalilija> It would be interesting to know though
20:48:32 <peter1138> Possibly that, I'm not sure the stable_sort is equivalent to the original code.
20:49:01 <peter1138> But what's an algorithm anyway.
20:50:02 <peter1138> Never mind, Colours vs index.
20:50:22 <peter1138> The the last three values off the _similar_colour array?
20:51:42 <peter1138> > 09:02 <@peter1138> Just re-read what you have written before pressing enter.
20:54:37 <andythenorth_> oof I can only nearly read C++ :P
22:16:42 <_zephyris> Lol. I got grey, brown, grey, brown, grey, brown.
22:16:58 <_zephyris> True random is confusing, but defo seems broken.
23:48:23 <_zephyris> Is the sort order reversed now?
continue to next day ⏵
