00:53:14  <Amix> did you know that liechtenstein had an army?
00:53:15  <Amix> ;p
00:54:06  <nicfer> yay there is a iphone port of ottd :D
00:54:54  <Amix> why not symbian?
00:55:00  <Amix> :)
00:55:03  <nicfer> i just discovered it on the portable version page in the wiki
00:55:12  <Amix> ahh
00:55:18  <Amix> i have Nokia E90
00:55:31  <Amix> 800x352 would be ok i guess

01:01:33  <nicfer> other thing, how can I do to not get bored while playing ottd
01:03:00  <Zuu> nicfer: Hard map, hard settings

01:03:21  <AndreR> hi
01:03:33  <AndreR> i have a question
01:03:50  <Zuu> nicfer: Some nice train GRFs and perhaps try building highways for busses / lories too.
01:04:00  <AndreR> how is it possible to transfer oil from trucks to a ship?
01:04:34  <Zuu> AndreR: Set transfer and unload on the truck.
01:04:42  <AndreR> yes
01:04:43  <Zuu> And just regular ful-load on the ships.
01:05:20  <Zuu> And the port and truck-station should ofcourse be the same station.
01:05:24  <AndreR> but the oil is now in the stock of the truck station
01:05:35  <AndreR> and not in the ship or in the habour
01:05:38  <Zuu> So that they have the same name.
01:06:14  <AndreR> oh, both stations must have the same name?
01:06:19  <Zuu> Yep.
01:06:27  <AndreR> ok, thats the problem
01:06:42  <Zuu> If you first build your port, then place the truck station at an adjecent tile so that they become the same station.
01:07:15  <Zuu> You'll see a ship and a truck symbol next to the station name.
01:07:36  <AndreR> yes
01:07:44  <AndreR> but it wont work for me
01:08:20  <Zuu> Do you get a sigle station now?
01:08:52  <AndreR> no,i have a gap between the stations
01:09:33  <Zuu> You need to make it the same station. Remove the truck stop and place it again, this time next to the port.

01:12:55  <Zuu> If you don't get it to work, post a save game togeather with information of which OpenTTD version you use on the forums.
01:13:56  <Zuu> The best is if you can post a game that uses 0.5.3, a 0.6 beta or a current nightly. As most people can open it then.

01:20:06  <Zuu> nicfer: Also try playing mini-worlds. I recall a game for about 1 year ago when 0.5 was new on a 64x128 map with only three towns on it with 3-4 players playing on it. Then there is not much room to make super-optimized network instead you have to not make the towns upset and find ways to bridge/tunnel the opentent tracks. And in 0.5 there was no bridges over diagonals and other nice things for multiplayer. :)

10:56:13  <Rubidium> 'lo
10:56:24  <Celestar> only 18. not bad at all :)
10:56:28  <Celestar> heyo Rubidium
10:56:45  <Rubidium> http://www.openttd.org/server_detail.php?id=17 <- Interesting server ;)
10:57:02  <Celestar> lol
10:57:09  <Celestar> you think I should shut it down?
10:57:49  <Rubidium> it's currently the one with the lowest revision; probably also the one that's the longest online and unused
10:58:10  <Rubidium> so yes!
10:58:26  <Celestar> server gone ;)
10:58:47  <Celestar> hm
10:58:52  <Celestar> why is it still listed? :P
10:59:04  <Rubidium> udp packet didn't come through
10:59:20  <Celestar> maybe the "kill" might have something to do with it? :P
10:59:20  <Rubidium> so it'll 'time out' within 5 minutes
11:00:01  <Rubidium> could very well be the case
11:00:21  <Celestar> like kill -9
11:00:54  <Rubidium> now it's a goner
11:03:25  <Celestar> good :>
11:03:36  <Celestar> how's NoAI doing?
11:04:13  <Rubidium> don't know exactly myself; just started doing some coding related stuff again after two months doing absolutely nothing
11:04:20  <Celestar> hehe
11:04:22  <Celestar> ok
11:04:35  <Celestar> who's at the helm of 0.6 btw?
11:04:38  <Celestar> Belugas?
11:04:53  <Rubidium> good question
11:05:25  * Celestar wonders what showstoppers we have for 0.6 left
11:05:39  <Celestar> PutWordsInCorrectOrder();
11:06:07  <Rubidium> there isn't a big no-go on the bugtracker at the moment
11:06:33  <Rubidium> but then again, there were quite a lot of changes since beta5, so we'll just release a rc1 and hope it's the last one
11:06:47  <Celestar> anything to fix till then?
11:07:28  <Rubidium> Belugas was on the changelog and such, don't know how far he's with that though
11:07:35  <Celestar> The only "Medium" bug is 1832 and still am a newgrf n00b
11:07:57  <Rubidium> well, the severity is usually not touched
11:08:15  <Rubidium> and in this case I've got no idea about the bug either, so I'm not touching it
11:08:16  * Celestar goes checking 1852

12:34:28  <Dominik> Celestar: and for the Nintendo DS :)
12:34:30  <peter1138> Just get some better eyes.
12:34:36  <Celestar> morning peter1138
12:34:41  <peter1138> Hi :)
12:34:57  * peter1138 ponders the SDLmixer patch, now that 0.6 is branched
12:35:08  * Dominik cheers
12:38:20  <Celestar> peter1138: what does it do?
12:39:05  <peter1138> Extends the music/sound drivers to include mixing, so that a driver doesn't have to use the builtin software mixer.
12:39:12  <peter1138> Then it adds an SDL_mixer driver.
12:39:34  <Gekz> I had OpenTTD on my Palm TX
12:39:39  <Gekz> then the guy stopped maintaining it
12:39:43  <Gekz> it was 0.4 svn
12:39:46  <peter1138> The other drivers just inherit from a software mixer driver.
12:40:57  <Celestar> I see
12:40:57  <Dominik> once that patch is live my nds port diff will be a lot smaller :)
12:41:13  <Celestar> we have an NDS port?
12:41:20  <Gekz> NDS port? coolzor
12:41:29  <Dominik> not in svn yet, but yeah
12:41:37  <Gekz> flashcart and such required?

12:42:11  <Dominik> Gekz: yes, otherwise there's no way to get code on the DS
12:42:39  <Celestar> 256*128
12:42:46  <Celestar> what's the amount of memory in the DS?
12:43:18  <Gekz> Dominik: how much did it cost
12:43:19  <Dominik> Celestar: this should answer your question: http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Portable_device_version
12:43:35  <Celestar> thanks
12:43:58  <Dominik> Gekz: you mean flashcarts for the DS? you can get them for 25-40 US$
12:44:08  <Gekz> Dominik: Buy me one xD
12:44:14  <Gekz> seriously, ebay fails -_-
12:44:46  <Dominik> ebay doesn't list them but any decent online shop will have them. even amazon.com
12:45:32  <Gekz> I'm in Australia
12:45:50  <Gekz> I dont really have access to Amazon or anything remotely useful or of competitive price
12:46:09  <Dominik> i ordered mine here. they're shipping from HongKong to anywhere in the world: http://www.dealextreme.com/
12:46:30  <mrfrenzy> dealextreme are nice
12:46:35  <Dominik> no shipping charges btw ^^
12:47:14  <Gekz> :o
12:48:27  <Gekz> Dominik: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11457
12:48:29  <Gekz> you buoght that?
12:49:14  <Gekz> http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11811
12:49:17  <Gekz> that I suppose
12:49:39  <Dominik> no, i've got an R4DS. but they are out of stock now.
12:49:58  <Dominik> but any of those will do
12:51:18  <Dominik> maybe the N5 is the sucessor of the R4. it seems they have similar firmware.
12:52:13  <Gekz> alright

14:24:12  <yorick> wasn't it DaleStan who said something about features stuffed in your face?
14:24:27  <yorick> I think the OSK is one of those if you can't even disable it
14:24:52  <Dominik> you have to enable it by clicking on it
14:25:09  <yorick> but it is there before you've clicked on it
14:25:30  <Dominik> no, it only appears when you click on the editbox
14:25:32  <SmatZ> you can't disable trams, drive-through road stops, more airports, newgrfs... but you do not have to use it :)
14:25:39  <yorick> I just want the possibility of having the old editboxes back
14:26:01  <yorick> SmatZ: they don't have a seperate window or you have to enable a grf for it

14:26:06  <Dominik> did you even compile latest svn before complaining?
14:26:10  <yorick> yes

14:27:44  <Dominik> correct
14:27:45  <yorick> while a new patch option on the interface tab would have been just fine
14:28:09  <yorick> I don't need ugly grey windows with a whole keyboard in my sight just to type...
14:28:16  <SmatZ> yorick: why are you clicking on the editbox anyway?
14:28:22  <Dominik> and when i click on the Newgrf menu a whole new window opens even though i don't ever use newgrfs
14:28:28  <yorick> because I need to edit it ;)
14:28:43  <SmatZ> editbox is active once it is open
14:28:44  <SmatZ> just type

16:11:36  <Celestar> FFVIII I mean
16:11:39  <glx> Celestar: try changing compatibility mode
16:11:45  <Maedhros> what i found fascinating was that the translation was worse in the PC version than the PlayStation version
16:11:52  <Celestar> glx: yeah, I'm just TRYING to find that damn option
16:11:53  <Maedhros> despite the fact that the PC version came afterwards
16:12:11  <Yorick> right click -> properties ->compatibility options?
16:12:22  <Eddi|zuHause3> start winecfg, and change the version in the dropdown box... err :p
16:12:25  <Celestar> find it :P
16:12:28  <Celestar> found it :P
16:12:35  <Ammler> glx: the problem is also, you need to know exactly which newindustries you like to use before starting editing scenario
16:12:35  <Celestar> but now I have to restart from my last save point (=
16:12:53  <Yorick> argh...xchat is buggy
16:13:15  <Ammler> you don't have such problems, with other GRFs
16:13:31  <Yorick> it only redraws the screen partially if it lost focus, and crashes when trying to minimize to tray
16:13:47  <Eddi|zuHause3> i have other problems... there is a nice looking civ4 mod where serviceable city radius changes with culture levels
16:13:57  <Eddi|zuHause3> but it crashes when you found a city

16:15:12  * keyweed_ pushes Yorick into @
16:15:12  <Yorick> chatting with a bot becomes boring after a while
16:15:33  <Eddi|zuHause3> in the ~6 months that i have BTS now, i managed to play through 2 games ;)
16:15:36  <Celestar> depends on the bot.
16:15:43  <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause3: Huge/Marathon? ;)
16:15:47  <Yorick> try him out, in #? :)
16:15:55  <Eddi|zuHause3> yeah ;)
16:16:05  <Eddi|zuHause3> actually, the second one was smaller
16:16:16  <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause3: I've quit using Huge maps. I don't like my ships to take half a century to cross a smallish ocean :P
16:16:33  <Eddi|zuHause3> i had to abandon some games because it became unstable
16:16:45  <Eddi|zuHause3> so i don't use huge anymore
16:16:49  <Celestar> Eddi|zuHause3: Huge/Marathon doesn't work on my 1GB machine, only the 2GB one.
16:17:27  <Eddi|zuHause3> well, the unstableness might be wine related
16:17:39  <Celestar> Civ4 works on wine for you? :o
16:17:51  <Eddi|zuHause3> but i don't have a high end machine
16:17:59  <De_Ghosty> u need 4 gb of ram
16:18:02  <Celestar> it's the only real reason for which I keep my XP installation on my lappy
16:18:07  <De_Ghosty> and a geforce 9800
16:18:12  <De_Ghosty> to play open ttd
16:18:14  <Eddi|zuHause3> yeah, it works on some versions of wine
16:18:14  <Celestar> only that neither XP nor Civ can use 4Gb of ram.
16:18:24  <Eddi|zuHause3> with a few minor issues
16:18:45  <Yorick> make forgot running strgen :o
16:18:58  <Celestar> glx: bad news, the level doesn't work in compatibility mode either :P
16:18:59  <Eddi|zuHause3> you have to configure it correctly, else the terrain or the ressources turn black
16:19:45  <Eddi|zuHause3> and i can't use vertex shaders, because it says "is not supported by hardware"
16:19:48  * Celestar found an unoffical patch
16:19:55  <SpComb> OpenTTD vertex shaders?
16:20:40  <Celestar> yah :)
16:20:41  <Celestar> :P
16:20:48  <Eddi|zuHause3> De_Ghosty: i have a Radeon 9700, does that count? :p
16:21:31  <Celestar> De_Ghosty: you're right. my OpenGL version runs only a 256x256 map on a 6600 properly :(
16:21:43  <Celestar> De_Ghosty: but I plan to improve that (=
16:23:17  <Celestar> I wish I had motivation to continue that version :(
16:24:36  <peter1138> my opengl version runs okay
16:24:48  <Celestar> peter1138: I mean full OpenGL
16:24:52  <peter1138> could do with not using floats
16:24:54  <Celestar> http://www.fvfischer.de/ottdgl2.png
16:24:54  <peter1138> it is full opengl
16:25:01  <Celestar> no sprites?
16:25:26  <Celestar> free-fly camera?
16:25:30  * Celestar hides
16:25:31  <peter1138> opengl has surfaces and textures...
16:25:48  <peter1138> that it was only used for drawing 2d does not mean it's not proper opengl
16:25:58  <Celestar> true
16:26:11  <Celestar> but I was toying around with a full 3d version at some point
16:26:20  <peter1138> (nvidia's guidelines for switching from dga say 'use opengl', heh)
16:26:56  <peter1138> anyway, my opengl driver fails due to our multithreading
16:27:03  <Celestar> LOL
16:27:27  <peter1138> trying to load textures in two threads is bad ;)
16:27:32  <Celestar> there's an enthusiast patch for FFVII that re-enables the lever
16:27:32  <Eddi|zuHause3> "multithreading"?
16:27:34  <Celestar> peter1138: yeah, kind of (=
16:28:20  <Celestar> gah damn lever was a trap anyways :P
16:28:30  <Eddi|zuHause3> haha :p
16:29:01  <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause3: yeah, map generation is a separate thread
16:29:04  <Celestar> but you had to press it to continue.
16:29:27  <Eddi|zuHause3> peter1138: yeah, but how should that interfere with graphics?
16:29:54  <peter1138> well, let's just say our sprite system is a bit retarded
16:30:15  <peter1138> the map generator creates smoke 'vehicles', and needs the sprite dimensions of those
16:30:16  <Rubidium> then unretard it!
16:30:25  <peter1138> currently the only way to get the dimensions is to load the sprite
16:30:27  <peter1138> Rubidium, yeah
16:32:08  <Celestar> ReadSpriteDimensionsWithoutLoading(); ?
16:36:19  <Celestar> Sprite->Load(false); :P

18:46:52  <Belugas> not that we know
18:47:13  <MrBrrr> Well, can I speculate and say there is? And try to explain it?

18:47:43  <Sacro> ah yes

18:48:03  <yorick> but try to explain it ^^
18:48:17  <MrBrrr> Well, the problem is that both coal and iron mines, as well as Oil wells have the same production when the game start.
18:48:21  <MrBrrr> To be more precise:
18:48:31  <MrBrrr> 1) Coal mines all have the same monthly production
18:48:39  <yorick> could be set grf-wise
18:48:43  <MrBrrr> 2) Both Oil wells and Iron mines all have the same monthly production

18:50:05  <yorick> then form a bug report at bugs.openttd.org

18:50:11  <MrBrrr> Yeah, guess I have to.
18:50:19  <Belugas> so?
18:50:23  <Belugas> how come it's a bug?
18:50:33  <Rubidium> MrBrrr: so when did OpenTTD start to show that behaviour?
18:50:46  <yorick> and does TTDPatch do the same?
18:50:46  <Rubidium> since what beta (or preferably since what nightly)?
18:50:47  <MrBrrr> Well, they did use to all have randomly generated production when starting or restarting a game.

19:06:22  <peter1138> Or 11500

19:06:34  <MrBrrr> Yeah, it is old.
19:06:54  <MrBrrr> Checking the later ones, but it does change behavior over those two revisions.
19:07:18  <yorick> probably 11500 or 11502 then
19:07:28  <glx> and that doesn't determine starting production
19:07:29  <yorick> you might want to check using 11501

20:22:05  <Eddi|zuHause3> you can ask questions...
20:22:22  <svanberg> i have one question about the game. if i have longer stations does it reduce load/load off time?
20:22:25  <svanberg> :)
20:22:28  <Eddi|zuHause3> some form of imperative
20:22:42  <peter1138> sort of
20:22:48  <Eddi|zuHause3> "sei still!" -> "be quiet"
20:22:54  <peter1138> if a train is longer than a platform it will take ages
20:22:55  <Eddi|zuHause3> really depends on context
20:23:04  <peter1138> but if a platform is longer than a train it offers no benefit
20:24:25  <svanberg> so longer platform is always better when you have larger trains ?
20:24:35  <ln> ah, i may have seen it being used as imperative, but using it like it's used in the spiegel.de article is something new to me.
20:26:36  <svanberg> im not so good at english, so please explain to me like i was a idiot :)

20:54:32  <Patrick`> hmm
20:54:33  <Patrick`> nope
20:54:59  <SpComb> http://zapotekii.srv.myottd.net/~terom/stuff/design.txt <-- so hmm, I started thinking about the future design of MyOTTD again, and here's two questions that I've tried to answer myself, but I'd be interested in hearing what other people think of the questions/answers
20:55:23  <Rubidium> YOYO: any routers in between your server and the internet?
20:55:29  <Progman> my yapp5 game got fucked up with reservations by trains which turns it directions :(
20:55:45  <SpComb> the first one is about introducing some kind of virtual currency for MyOTTD to regulate use of it, and the second one is about adding some kind of proper external API to OpenTTD
20:56:12  <ln> YOYO: you may want to use -I instead of -A
20:56:20  <YOYO> yup but port is forwarded there.. Like i said wireshark on the box responds to the call from the master server claiming that he cant reacht the port
20:56:20  <SpComb> the latter might be of interest to other people outside of MyOTTD, dunno
20:56:22  <glx> Progman: using the fix for YAPP5 ?
20:56:43  <peter1138> let's commit yapp

21:00:23  <Eddi|zuHause3> SpComb: i'd say someone with an average of two players should be able to run a 256x256 map permanently, 3 players 512x512 and 4 players 1024x1024 (i wouldn't allow bigger than that)
21:01:08  <SpComb> the way that would work is that running a map of size x debits you y ISK/hour, and having z players credits you w ISK/hour
21:01:26  <Eddi|zuHause3> yes, and paused servers give you a discount
21:01:35  <SpComb> with x, y, z, w customized somehow that in the long term you'd run out of ISK and have to reduce the map size
21:01:59  <SpComb> the CPU usage of paused servers it's exactly 0

21:02:06  *** jez is now known as jez9999
21:02:24  <Eddi|zuHause3> yes, but the memory usage is not 0, so they should cost very little, but not nothing
21:02:35  <Eddi|zuHause3> as you said, you don't want idle servers
21:02:50  <SpComb> it's low enough that I can run dozens of paused servers on a Athlon64 3500+ without it being too slow, though
21:03:43  <SpComb> yeah, there's currently dozens of presumeably completely idle MyOTTD servers on the OpenTTD server list
21:04:06  <Eddi|zuHause3> well, let's talk numbers, like paused server = -1, 256x256 map = -10, 1 player = +5
21:04:44  * peter1138 ponders food in temperate
21:04:58  <Patrick`> you don't want too many paused servers
21:04:58  * Eddi|zuHause3 ponders food in rl
21:05:03  <peter1138> as in, if you enable it with newcargoes, should it do anything
21:05:03  <Patrick`> because if there's a "run on the bank"
21:05:06  <Patrick`> and they all come on
21:05:15  <Patrick`> you suddenly find yourself with too many processes
21:05:41  <SpComb> terom@zapotekII:~/my_ottd$ ps aux | grep "openttd -D" | wc -l
21:05:41  <SpComb> 84
21:06:09  <SpComb> that's the issue that I want to solve...
21:06:10  <Patrick`> I mean too few cycles
21:06:24  <Eddi|zuHause3> peter1138: there should be more effects of cargo on towns, like "city >2000, no energy -> growth 1/4"
21:06:42  <Patrick`> I have an idea.
21:06:42  <SpComb> although it seems that only a portion of those show up on the masterserver list
21:06:51  <Patrick`> do a sc2k
21:06:56  <Patrick`> has anyone modded in power lines?
21:07:15  <Patrick`> as in, elrails only run if the network is in contact with a fuelled power station
21:07:27  <Eddi|zuHause3> "power" means "a power plant in the city that gets coal [oil?]"
21:07:39  <Patrick`> and towns grow :)
21:07:54  <Eddi|zuHause3> Patrick`: there have been suggestions like that, but nobody implemented it
21:08:41  <peter1138> power stations don't actually produce anything. hmm.
21:09:13  <Patrick`> they produce an absence of coal
21:10:03  <SpComb> IMO, in ideal operation, the amount of ISK that you get from active players should be larger than the ISK that running the server costs you, so that an active server slowly builds up an overhead that lets it keep running across idle periods, and possibly let you create more servers
21:10:45  <Patrick`> isk :)
21:10:45  <Eddi|zuHause3> then tweak it a little, like -9 for running, and 2*(+5) for 2 players
21:10:45  <Patrick`> hee
21:11:44  <SpComb> tweaking the numbers is the difficult bit
21:11:50  <Eddi|zuHause3> means 2 players can play half a day, and idle the other half, or make the difference bigger, like -10 and 2*(+6), for 8h play and 16h idle
21:12:48  <SpComb> figuring out the usage patterns for MyOTTD would also help to figure out how to tweak them
21:13:13  <SpComb> it's pretty rare that I actually *use* MyOTTD myself, so I don't really know how people actually... use it

21:21:07  <Eddi|zuHause3> Philipp: there are people in the forum that have server status in their signature, you can ask one of those
21:22:02  <SpComb> the problem is that I have to offer a single web frontend that lets people view and manage a bunch of openttd processes that are each of a variety of versions
21:22:03  <Philipp> sry for my german... i noooot good in english
21:22:57  <SpComb> so I might have a handful of servers running 0.5.3, a handful of 0.6.0-beta5, a handful running some nightly, and I need to be able to have a web frontend that can be used to manage each of them
21:23:18  <SpComb> currently I just use OpenTTD console's, but it really sucks
21:23:46  <Eddi|zuHause3> autopilot? ottdlib? i don't know if they are suitible for what you want
21:23:47  <SpComb> my idea is to build my own API and automatically compile it against the nightly/release versions of OpenTTD, and then use that to manage the servers
21:24:23  <Philipp> its a good idea.
21:24:31  <SpComb> my code currently does more or less what autopilot and ottdlib do (it communicates over the console on stdin, and sends/receieves UDP packets)
21:24:55  <SpComb> the problem with it is that the API code wouldn't be in trunk, it would be my own custom code, and the code in trunk that my code uses changes from time to time
21:25:34  <Philipp> i have a little PERL application written... whit TELNET... i can make a socket to the gameserver... not more :-(
21:25:36  <Eddi|zuHause3> SpComb: you could beat truebrain to start including squirrel as console language, like he once promised ;)
21:26:05  <SpComb> unless the OpenTTD devs decide that they want to include some properly specified and versioned external API in the official OpenTTD
21:26:27  <SpComb> would squirrel offer access to the entire OpenTTD internals?
21:27:00  <Eddi|zuHause3> whatever you meas as "entire"... i'd guess it'll have a similar API as the AI has

22:34:00  <fjb> I think it is simply to hard to get a stable economy. You have to buffer everything. And at least most train sets don't have shunting locomotives for that purpose.
22:35:29  <fjb> In later years you can use trucks. But then you can also just build highways instead of railway lines.
22:37:23  <Eddi|zuHause3> industries in close proximity should have an automatic way to "transfer" cargo between them

22:39:01  <Eddi|zuHause3> it wasn't really necessary with the default industries, because there were not as many chains to support
22:40:00  <Eddi|zuHause3> but with ECS, there should be stable local economy systems without the user interfering, but increasing in efficiency when they do
22:40:06  <fjb> At least ECS is getting better. In dustries are not closing that fast anymore.
22:40:38  <Eddi|zuHause3> i guess it is beta for a reason ;)
22:41:53  <fjb> Yes. And it looks very complicated what George is doing.
22:44:16  <Eddi|zuHause3> i don't watch it that closely
22:45:24  <Eddi|zuHause3> i just tested it once, it made my computer extremely slow, and it was not suitible for my style of playing (passenger network with occasional cargo trains)
22:48:38  <fjb> The good thing is that you can chose which grfs suit your style best.
22:49:50  <Eddi|zuHause3> i like the complexity of the cargo chains, but industries should never be closing
22:50:10  <Eddi|zuHause3> and be less responsive if my network is not behaving overly efficient
22:52:37  <fjb> That is one of the trouble with ECS. One jam and your whole economy breaks.

22:55:18  <Patrick`> made a mint
22:55:19  <Patrick`> but still
22:55:25  <Patrick`> not what I play for
22:55:43  <Eddi|zuHause3> it is *gasp* unrealistic
22:56:18  <fjb> The passanger destinations patch makes it a bit better.
22:56:52  <Eddi|zuHause3> no, it doesn't... i had >500 passengers waiting at every tram station
22:57:24  <Eddi|zuHause3> in a town with 4k inhabitants, i had like 10k passengers waiting

22:58:53  <fjb> It has an option to reduce passengers.
22:59:09  <Patrick`> that's insane
22:59:19  <Patrick`> that's like turning up to the station to go to work in the morning
22:59:23  <Patrick`> waiting 24 hours for a train
22:59:29  <Eddi|zuHause3> i read those options, but i have no idea what they meant
22:59:30  <Patrick`> then yourself turns up again and waits with you
23:02:26  <Eddi|zuHause3> i then tore down half the city to build a rail line, but it only shifted the problem to the main station

23:55:41  <Roujin> dang ^^ but i found it funny because i think i hadn't seen a shop called coop before that.. and first thought about openttdcoop when i saw this ^^
23:58:07  <fjb> You will see coop shops all over the swiss. We also had a lot of them in Germany till the 80s.
