06:01:57 <DorpsGek> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)
09:33:14 <_zephyris> NewGRF town bits and pieces...
09:33:32 <_zephyris> Docs and NML needed.
09:35:00 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
09:52:55 <peter1138> Okay, adding a flag to enable the monthly refresh cycle was easy.

10:21:58 <_zephyris> Performance tuning the trees? Nice.
10:24:24 <peter1138> Well, trees will just have to specify they require the refresh. If they don't the counter may or may not get updated too.
10:27:50 <peter1138> "Town number" is weird :p
10:28:26 <peter1138> "Town variable, number of nearby staitons" is easier to understand.
10:41:27 <_zephyris> Number of nearby stations for towns
10:51:03 <peter1138> Number of nearby towns for stations
11:14:50 <peter1138> AI enhancement, nothing will go wrong...
12:40:13 <_zephyris> Hmm, where is that new newgrf features tracking page...
12:40:40 <_zephyris> The one with the docs updated, nml updated tracking.
12:44:36 <peter1138> Off-map storage for trees?
12:59:39 <_zephyris> What would you like to store off map?
13:15:11 <peter1138> It was a little joke :)
14:01:12 <Rubidium> oh, I thought he wanted to store the heat off-map ;D
14:17:32 <peter1138> Heat, Humidity, AQI...
14:18:19 <peter1138> I should probably delete the dithered-snow PR.
14:18:25 <peter1138> As it's just weird.
14:19:17 <peter1138> Remove snow-line system, add climates and weather.
14:19:39 <peter1138> Map size is now several GB but who cares...

17:30:39 <andythenorth> do we have drought feature?
17:30:58 <andythenorth> can we just colour shift tiles?
17:33:54 <andythenorth> not cheery colours though
17:34:45 <andythenorth> now it's gone all Syndicate
17:34:53 <LordAro> though brown grass everywhere irl is decidedly not cheery anymore
17:35:35 <andythenorth> I am mostly seeing life from my sofa, so I am not aware of the state of the countryside
17:35:50 <andythenorth> I have been to the park, but it's a lot of trees, so relatively green compared to open ground
17:35:54 <LordAro> ah yes, ankle still knackered?
17:36:05 <andythenorth> esconsed in boot
17:36:09 <andythenorth> until end of Sept
17:36:30 <andythenorth> doesn't hurt 🤷♂️
17:36:37 <andythenorth> can't really complain or something
17:37:31 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
17:37:36 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd
17:38:03 <LordAro> i guess that's something
17:45:45 <peter1138> Colour palette easter egg?
17:47:39 *** Hobbyboy has joined #openttd
17:48:19 *** Hobbyboy is now known as Guest15588
17:50:36 <peter1138> Oh dear, train derailment.
17:53:32 <peter1138[d]> This is Syndicate mode, yes.
17:54:20 <_zephyris> Terrain tile NewGRF?
17:54:34 <_zephyris> Does anyone understand what I mean by the dither mask idea?
17:56:00 <andythenorth> where do I look?
17:56:13 <peter1138> If you mean a dither to fade adjacent terrain types together... that's probably not going to look very nice.
17:59:29 <_zephyris> Gimme a min and I can do a proof of concept
18:04:53 <peter1138> andythenorth, mode 1.
18:06:11 <peter1138> CGA palette mode that is.
18:06:14 <peter1138> Not BBC Micro mode :)
18:06:23 <peter1138> I can't fudge pixel size.
18:06:27 <LordAro> bleh, server room at 30C
18:08:10 <peter1138> black red yellow white by default in MODE 1, right?
18:08:21 <mmtunligit> peter1138: just stretch and squish (or is BBC micro even weirder than that)
18:10:32 * LordAro slaps andythenorth with a large trout
18:10:38 <peter1138> mmtunligit, MODE 0 is 640x256, MODE 1 is 320x256, MODE 2 is 160x256.
18:10:52 <peter1138> So 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2.
18:11:40 <peter1138> Would need the sprite encoder or surface rendering to get involved. And I'm not doing that for something pointless.
18:11:56 <andythenorth> sometimes I want industries to do this "A or B" cargo handling
18:12:05 <andythenorth> I could implement it in FIRS myself, but not that UI
18:12:14 <andythenorth> it's probably silly
18:15:49 <andythenorth> don't we have that already?
18:16:05 <andythenorth> can we have a grf spec for the UI bottom bar?
18:16:08 <andythenorth> so we can add doom guy?
18:17:05 <andythenorth> just no callbacks, just periodic act 2 chain, with the vars for game state
18:22:36 <peter1138> Company manager face though.
18:27:48 <Rubidium> andythenorth: when a Recyclon is PM?
18:34:20 <peter1138> Cut throat business deals
18:37:23 <peter1138> I think he's be trying too much local authority bribery.
18:40:37 <_zephyris> Haha, face changes with local authority rating
18:43:50 <_zephyris> I do think dither could work for ground tiles...
18:44:02 <_zephyris> If it works for RCT/Loco...
18:49:12 <andythenorth> do we have doom guy for company president?
19:17:07 <peter1138> I guess nearest colour could be improved, grey is often the nearest, regardless of hue & saturation.
19:19:15 <jfs> jfs: (we're being required from discord to make an official verification of the IRC relay application since the user count in the OpenTTD discord has grown past a certain threshold, so I'm doing a demonstration to take screenshots of)
19:19:32 *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
19:20:04 <jfs> (if the verification is not done, or is rejected, the relay would stop working)
19:20:37 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
19:23:41 <tabytac> Is there a technical reason why we cant have more than 1 Industry Chain window open rn?
19:28:02 <peter1138> jfs_, peaceful bliss?
19:41:40 <Rubidium> tabytac: technically nobody implemented that, though I'm not sure that's a technical reason. Most of it is probably the developer not thinking making that functionality (user friendly) was worth the effort. I see a lot of user experience issues popping up
19:46:43 <mmtunligit> When I get back from vacation I’m adding a search box to the fund industry window, I hate scrolling that thing in large industry sets
19:49:24 <_zephyris> What's the nearest colour issue? For 32bpp conversion?
20:00:14 <peter1138> Custom palette toy :)
20:00:18 <peter1138> Completely unnecessary.
20:01:22 *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:01:48 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
20:02:06 <_zephyris> It would be fun for base sets to define palette...
20:03:08 <peter1138> This toy coerces the standard palette into a retro palette.

21:43:40 <andythenorth> deleted more cargos
21:49:02 <peter1138> No industry badges yet?
21:51:55 <andythenorth> cargo subtype badges? 👀
22:05:54 <belajalilija> mmtunligit: If you’re messing with gui i have a suggestion :3
22:07:56 <belajalilija> When you make the town window where the options for bribing and statue etc are bigger the area with the scroll bar should get bigger also
22:08:35 *** gelignite has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
22:13:30 <peter1138> There is no scrollbar in the town local authority window.
22:15:37 <belajalilija> Ahh maybe it’s a jgrpp thing
