09:06:58  <planetmaker> morning :)
09:10:08  <ln> http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Miscellaneous/Q_22031739.html
09:10:13  <fjb> Morning planetmaker
09:10:28  <ln> morning slartibartfast
09:11:15  <planetmaker> lool @ ln
09:11:29  <planetmaker> what a nice question asked there... :-P
09:14:22  <ln> i would like to see the accepted solution
09:17:55  <petern> expert sexchange?
09:18:27  <ln> that's a more accurate description of the site.
09:18:45  <petern> odd, normally you can see the results if you scroll right down
09:18:52  <petern> maybe it depends on a google referrer...
09:19:14  <ln> yeah, normally.
09:19:26  <petern> haha, it does
09:19:38  <petern> if you search for the title on google, go to it that way
09:19:42  <petern> you get the answers then
09:19:49  <petern> blatant search rigging
09:20:27  <petern> Try this function
09:20:27  <petern> Function UnRnd()
09:20:27  <petern> UnRnd = 4 'my favourite number!
09:20:27  <petern> End Function
09:20:28  <petern> IntTemp = Int((255 * UnRnd()) + 1)
09:20:31  <petern> hehe
09:20:33  *** Vikthor [~Vikthor@snat1.spoje.net] has joined #openttd
09:22:13  <fjb> Nice solution to that problem.
09:22:52  <ln> wtf, the accepted solution provides no solution at all, not even a stupid one.
09:25:07  <fjb> Maybe replacing his brain would be acceptet as a solution.

09:49:01  <Celestar> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Frankfurt_Hbf_Gleise.jpg <= this looks almost like a model railway :P
09:51:41  <fjb> Proportions are more TTD like. :-)
09:52:48  <ln> it has more than the max of 4 tracks per station.
09:53:33  <fjb> Did TTD have that maximum?
09:54:52  <ln> it did and does.
09:56:28  <ccfreak2k> IS this the next version of OpenTTD?
09:57:36  <fjb> Would be fun. Bigger buildings, curved tracks and less space between the tracks.

09:59:36  <Celestar> er that is a real station you know :P
10:00:08  <fjb> No, not possible, look at the wagons, way too short.

10:13:49  <Brianetta> If that's TTD, then there are fake trains.
10:14:08  <Brianetta> You can't put two parallel tracks on one tile like that.
10:16:32  <TrueBrain> If that is TTD, we failed to keep 3D out :(
10:20:26  <Celestar> lol
10:20:40  <petern> The wonders of telephoto lenses.
10:20:47  <petern> That would be really cool...
10:21:08  <petern> Looks a bit busy.
10:21:35  <Celestar> yeah
10:21:52  <Celestar> 650 trains a day plus the S-Bahn
10:21:59  <Celestar> (which are another 1100 trains a day)
10:22:00  *** Progman [~progman@p57A1F946.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
10:22:23  <petern> That bit on the lower right corner looks really odd.
10:22:55  <TrueBrain> for some reason Debian removed subversion AGAIN
10:23:02  <TrueBrain> it seems to think I don't want it ..
10:23:20  <Celestar> petern: what about it?
10:23:57  <petern> It's just the curve and slope combined make it look not right.
10:24:10  <Celestar> yeah
10:24:12  <petern> TrueBrain: unstable?
10:24:13  <Celestar> you mean the ramp?
10:24:16  <petern> Yes
10:24:42  <TrueBrain> petern: no; and it only happens when I install an other package that depends on it, remove thatone, and run autoremove .. and not always, just in some weird cases ..
10:24:44  <TrueBrain> stupid system
10:25:08  <petern> lenny?
10:25:13  <petern> etch?
10:25:15  <petern> Hmm
10:25:17  <TrueBrain> lenny
10:25:38  * petern only runs etch, so has no encountered that.
10:25:41  * Celestar wonders why they still use sleepers on the new tracks from Munich to Augsburg
10:25:52  <blathijs> What is autoremove supposed to do? Sounds like it is broken by design :-)
10:26:02  <TrueBrain> I doubt it is lenny specific .. most likely my usage of the apt-system is somewhat wrong .. what ever
10:26:12  <petern> Oh
10:26:15  <TrueBrain> NoAI takes almost one minute longer to compile :$
10:26:30  <TrueBrain> (well, on a single core)
10:26:31  <petern> blathijs, autoremove removes packages were installed automatically along with something else
10:26:34  <blathijs> Hmm, the text from the manpage suggests that it should be removing it in your case
10:26:35  <TrueBrain> from 2m6 to 3m5
10:26:51  <petern> It's a great help for clearing up dependencies if you remove something.
10:26:55  <TrueBrain> (trunk vs noai)
10:27:07  <blathijs> petern: I usually use aptitude, which has that feature without a special command (for quite some time longer than that autoremove exists)
10:27:15  <blathijs> hardly ever have problems there
10:27:30  *** Doorslammer [Doorslamme@PIPP-p-203-54-14-116.prem.tmns.net.au] has joined #openttd
10:27:47  <blathijs> TrueBrain: you should try to reproduce the problem, on a clean lenny system for example, and then file a bugreport :-)
10:27:55  <TrueBrain> problem with 'apt-get' is that you get this BIG list of things it will remove .... and that is absoutely unclear
10:28:02  <TrueBrain> aptitude ahs the problem that his screen is WAY too small ..
10:28:18  <TrueBrain> blathijs: absolutely no interest in doing that :p
10:29:05  <blathijs> Huh? Why does aptitude make your screen smaller?
10:29:06  <petern> When I tried using aptitide it went ahead and installed all the recommends without me asking it.
10:29:20  <TrueBrain> blathijs: did I say small_er_? No, I said: SMALL
10:29:32  <petern> TrueBrain, aptitude has a command line mode too.
10:29:35  <TrueBrain> it has, what, 10 lines of the upper part
10:29:39  <TrueBrain> where you can review stuff ...
10:29:45  <TrueBrain> really ... it annoys the hell out of me
10:29:54  <blathijs> TrueBrain: Smaller than your physical screen, I mean
10:30:03  <TrueBrain> petern: how useful ... :p
10:30:06  <petern> Apparently it is recommended over apt now. I dislike it.
10:30:09  <blathijs> But you mean that the division is not useful
10:30:14  <Celestar> Brianetta: why would anyone build sleeper-based tracks these days? :P
10:30:18  <TrueBrain> really, the best package manager I have seen so far, is emerge .. simple and efficient
10:30:34  <TrueBrain> blathijs: my physcial screen is 80x24
10:30:37  <TrueBrain> not much to do about that
10:30:39  <petern> I tried Gentoo. emerge fucked my system up.
10:30:48  <TrueBrain> and I am pretty sure aptitude uses all 24 liens .. just not as efficient as one might hope
10:30:54  <blathijs> TrueBrain: For me, aptitude just divides my screen into two equal parts, which does mean around 10 lines on a 80x24 terminal yes :-)
10:31:00  <petern> Well, okay, I must have done it because surely nobody would write something that would fuck it up.
10:31:03  <TrueBrain> petern: how can 'emerge' fuck up your system? :p
10:31:11  <blathijs> TrueBrain: Try the "D" key in aptitude
10:31:15  <petern> But for me it wouldn't do any sort of dependency upgrading.
10:31:19  <TrueBrain> blathijs: an in those 10 lines you need to NAVIGATE .. I mean, come on ...... :(
10:31:42  <TrueBrain> petern: Gentoo is nasty to install, as you need to do everything yourself .. easy to fuck up on many many places :)
10:31:58  <TrueBrain> but, if it is running, emerge rarely makes mistakes (2 times a year or so)
10:32:10  <TrueBrain> and at least gives you a clear dep-tree, and what is hapening where ..
10:32:15  <petern> It left tons of packages out of date :(
10:32:16  <blathijs> Besides, aptitude also works fine on the commandline (ie, like emerge, or does emerge have a UI now?)
10:32:19  <TrueBrain> emerge -uavND world ;)
10:32:24  <petern> Yes, I did.
10:32:26  <TrueBrain> you need to know that command ... :p
10:32:42  <petern> It did one or two things, but not every thing.
10:32:44  <TrueBrain> wouldn't know, I use CLI for package management where possible
10:33:04  <TrueBrain> petern: and if that fails, something went wrong in the init, and emerge -uavND system, fixes it 90% of the time :)
10:33:16  <petern> The install guide I used used colour codes to show optional bits, i.e. "do it this way" was green and "or do it this way" was red.
10:33:20  <petern> Unfortunately it was a plain text file.
10:33:28  <TrueBrain> (if you start with 2006.0 and upgrade directly to 2008.0, things break .. :p)
10:33:37  <petern> So there was no indication of what should be done.
10:33:47  <petern> I used it a few years ago.

10:33:53  <TrueBrain> hahahha :)
10:34:21  <petern> Anyway, Debian is the only thing I'll run on servers.
10:34:28  <petern> Well, Linux servers anyway.
10:34:29  <TrueBrain> blathijs: 'D' makes it better, but .... well ... lack of clear documentation makes that impossible to know :p
10:34:40  <DJNekkid> the first sound useing action 11, is 00 80 right?
10:34:49  <TrueBrain> I sadly enough currentyl need to manage both Windows Server 2008, and Fedora Core 7 .. bah :p
10:34:52  <DJNekkid> for use in the var10 block?
10:35:08  <petern> Pardon?
10:35:19  <blathijs> TrueBrain: You could have tried the ? or F1 keys to find that command
10:35:30  <petern> The first sound is clearly 00 00
10:35:40  <TrueBrain> blathijs: yeah .. sure ...
10:35:42  <TrueBrain> like with screen
10:35:46  <TrueBrain> read through the manual!!
10:35:48  <TrueBrain> still you get lost .. :p
10:35:49  <petern> Why would you start at 0x8000?
10:35:58  <TrueBrain> sorry, if software REQUIRES to read the manual, the software is broken by design :)
10:36:12  <DJNekkid> "Values from 0 to 72 (dec) are TTD's built-in sound effects, values beyond that refer to the sounds from Action 11"
10:36:32  <TrueBrain> anyway ... what was I planning for this beautiful day ...
10:36:51  <petern> Yes.
10:36:57  <DJNekkid> hmm
10:37:08  <DJNekkid> i guess its dec73 thats the first one then ...
10:37:13  <petern> What does 0x8000 have to do with that? And what's a var10 block?
10:38:00  <DJNekkid> var10 is what is needed in front of a few callbacks, 33 and 36 amongst others
10:38:10  <blathijs> TrueBrain: I'm curious as to how you prefer to use cli software, without reading documentation... But well, let's just say you're not much of an aptitude user :-)
10:39:27  <petern> So you mean testing varaction2 variable 10.
10:39:38  <petern> Then 00 00 is the first sound effect.

10:40:28  <petern> To signify it is a callback, you add the 0x8000, but that is not part of the value.
10:41:58  <petern> Hmm, dedicated servers use a fair bit of CPU time even when paused :o
10:42:13  <petern> I guess it's all those queries.
10:43:38  <DJNekkid> hmm...
10:43:53  <petern> Oh, it's a design flaw :o
10:43:55  <Ammler> is it possible to fix the IP for userspace on a server with 64 different IPs, like server_bind_ip but for everything.

10:49:48  <Ammler> petern: the problem might be autopilot (tcl)
10:50:11  <petern> DJNekkid, your sound will be at 73.
10:50:19  <petern> Ammler, why?
10:50:31  <DJNekkid> so, 73 00 ?
10:50:35  <DJNekkid> or 73 80?
10:50:41  <petern> I don't know what network communication autopilot does.
10:50:43  <petern> DJNekkid, neither.
10:50:50  <petern> It's decimal.
10:50:53  <Ammler> not possible to bind it to a ip,
10:51:07  <DJNekkid> \w73 then ? ;)
10:51:09  <petern> The value is 0x0049, so you need to put in "49 80"
10:51:30  <DJNekkid> ahh :)
10:52:37  <petern> Ammler, I mean, what bit of it talks TCP/IP?
10:53:06  <Ammler> autopilot does IRC
10:53:29  <Ammler> well, it is not really nescesary, was just wondering
10:53:45  <petern> Right, so you want to fix the IRC client's source address.
10:53:55  <Ammler> the hostmaks, yes.
10:54:11  <Ammler> for identify
10:54:27  <petern> No, a source address is not a hostmask.
10:55:05  <Ammler> depense from where you look, doesn0t?
10:55:10  <petern> No it doesn't.
10:55:29  <petern> Only if you're an idiot.
10:55:33  <Ammler> :-)
10:55:39  <petern> Although that's quite believable.
10:55:53  <Ammler> well, I mean the address you get if you whois someone.
10:55:56  <petern> A hostmask is a *mask* that matches a *host*
10:56:08  <Ammler> yes.
10:56:23  <petern> When you /whois someone, you do not get a hostmask.
10:56:28  <Ammler> and to match the host, I would like to keep it constant
10:56:30  <petern> You get a nick!user@hostname
10:56:43  <Ammler> yeah, sorry.
10:57:03  <Ammler> but if the hostname changes, I need to change the mask
10:57:05  <petern> Anyway, as nobody uses tcl these days, I cannot find information on mod_irc.

11:00:39  <petern> Yeah, the irc part isn't.
11:00:47  <petern> Doesn't look like it supports setting the source address :/
11:02:11  <Ammler> hmm, well, we could set the mask to match the whole net.
11:02:38  <petern> hostmasks don't support CIDR though.
11:02:50  <petern> (Do they?)
11:03:34  <Ammler> something like 195.20.204.192/8 ?
11:04:14  <petern> Right.
11:05:14  <Ammler> oh, only 6
11:05:22  <petern> Hmm?
11:05:28  <Ammler> for 64 ips.
11:05:33  <DJNekkid> hmm, still no sound tho...
11:06:33  <petern> For a block of 64 the it would be /26.

11:07:02  <SpComb> source-address-selection algorithms <3
11:07:04  <Ammler> oh
11:07:15  <SpComb> it might be tweakable via iproute
11:07:36  <TrueBrain> [12:39] <blathijs> TrueBrain: I'm curious as to how you prefer to use cli software, without reading documentation... But well, let's just say you're not much of an aptitude user :-) <- good software doesn't need documentation to makes itself clear. When you need to read a docuement, it means it is too complicated for any average user
11:07:36  <SpComb> you could set it to preferr some specific source address for certain destinations
11:07:44  <SpComb> e.g. irc servers
11:07:57  <Noldo> TrueBrain: you are an average user?
11:07:58  <Ammler> SpComb: but I fear only serverwide
11:08:01  <SpComb> but that's a global system-level policy change
11:08:11  <Ammler> :-)
11:08:23  <SpComb> you need to have your application code bind to a specific port for the outgoing connections
11:08:23  <Brianetta> "When you need to read a docuement, it means it is too complicated for any average user" <- Computers *are* too complicated for any average user.
11:08:32  <TrueBrain> Ammler: in general it is not possible to make a userspace ip bind .. as that is the primary IP :)
11:08:35  * petern attempts to squeeze 4 racks into 3.
11:08:36  <TrueBrain> but: use vservers
11:08:39  <SpComb> it's not very complicated to do, but many applications omit support for that
11:09:16  <SpComb> it might be simpler to just add in a call to `bind` in your application code than hack it via vserver
11:10:04  <SpComb> hmm... vserver came with some util that affected things like binding to IP addresses
11:10:22  <SpComb> kind of similar to chroot, but for network devices
11:10:50  * petern wonders how close lenny is to release.
11:10:53  <TrueBrain> 'hack it via vserver', HAHAHAHAHA
11:10:56  <TrueBrain> you so missed the point
11:11:05  <Ammler> vserver is indeed nice idea
11:11:11  <TrueBrain> LOL! That is most likely the worst description of vserver I have ever read .. :p
11:11:11  <FauxFaux> petern: HAHAHAHAHAHAH
11:11:15  <petern> :(
11:11:23  <FauxFaux> 06/12:11:15 < BTS> FauxFaux: There are 259 release-critical bugs in the testing distribution. See http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php?bydist=lenny&igncontrib=on&ignnonfree=on
11:11:36  <TrueBrain> Ammler: with vserver you directly have a safe split of those services
11:11:36  <Noldo> petern: http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ it's about 270 rc's away
11:11:43  <petern> Boo...
11:11:50  <Ammler> petern: thanks for correction, stupid me looked from wrong side... :-)
11:11:53  <TrueBrain> both security-wise, as network-wise, as resource-wise
11:11:56  <TrueBrain> solves all your problems :)
11:12:01  <TrueBrain> either way: good day all, got to go :)
11:12:12  <petern> My (4 year old) server does not run properly with etch's kernel.
11:12:13  <SpComb> `chbind --ip <IP address> <command > <args>`
11:12:30  <SpComb> so you can just use vserver's network utils to do that
11:12:31  <petern> It works fine with lenny's kernel, but the vserver stuff is different :(
11:12:53  <FauxFaux> petern: Etchnhalf kernel?#
11:13:17  <petern> That doesn't work either, and there is no etchnhalf vserver kernel anyway.
11:13:18  <FauxFaux> Oh, if it's vserver any kernel change will probably screw you.
11:13:25  <FauxFaux> :)
11:13:46  <petern> I guess that's why there is no etchnhalf vserver :)
11:14:13  <SpComb> Ammler: so if you don't want to modify the code, you can just run the application under chbind
11:14:43  <petern> The lenny kernel vserver does run, but the settings are slightly different. This causes it to not install properly. It'll run, but it won't have finished :(
11:15:39  <petern> chbind: vc_set_ipv4root(): Function not implemented
11:15:54  <petern> It won't work on its own.
11:16:35  <petern> Oh
11:16:39  <Ammler> bash: chbind: command not found

11:23:36  <SpComb> Ammler: you'll need to install ssome vserver package or other
11:24:25  <Ammler> well, I will suggest it to the server owner :-)
11:24:48  <Ammler> maybe setup a vserver for could be a option too.
11:24:58  <SpComb> and it'll probably require some semi-modern kernel
11:24:58  <SpComb> so if you're running 2.4 or somesuch, it might not be possible
11:25:21  <Ammler> oh, he is running debian :-(
11:26:36  <Ammler> 2.6.18
11:27:02  <Ammler> not that _old_ _)
11:27:18  <TrueBrain> util-vserver requires a vserver kernel; chbind is part of util-vserver
11:27:30  <TrueBrain> so you need the vserver kernel loaded before you can use any of the tools
11:27:43  <TrueBrain> all sane OSes have the vserver kernel as option
11:28:03  <Ammler> is that xen?
11:28:21  <TrueBrain> xen is a completely different way of virutalization
11:28:26  <TrueBrain> vserver and openvz are on the same level
11:28:28  <SpComb> no, xen and vserver are two different things
11:28:35  <TrueBrain> kvm is on an other level
11:28:38  <SpComb> 2.6.18 doesn't have xen in mainline
11:28:44  <TrueBrain> and xen is comparible to kvm (kind of, not really)
11:28:48  <Ammler> vserver can only virtualize other linuxes then?
11:29:12  <Ammler> just a better chroot?
11:29:22  <blathijs> Ammler: vserver can virtualize any userspace that can run on a linux kernel :-)
11:29:32  <TrueBrain> it is a fancy chroot, just I won't call it that
11:29:37  <blathijs> Ammler: Since it virtualizes userspace only, there is still only a single kernel
11:29:56  <TrueBrain> Ammler: vserver shares the kernel (which makes it much faster than, say, Xen)
11:30:04  <SpComb> vserver extends the chroot concept and uses kernel contexts to do "virtualisation"
11:30:06  <TrueBrain> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_virtualization
11:30:09  <SpComb> although perhaps containers is a better term
11:30:27  <TrueBrain> vserver == Linux-Vserver (its original name)
11:31:08  <Ammler> well, maybe he does already support vservers :-)
11:31:28  <Ammler> can I see that with aname?
11:31:31  <Ammler> uname
11:31:32  <TrueBrain> uname -a will tell you
11:32:10  <TrueBrain> (Well, not always, but any sane sysop will have it visible :p)
11:32:35  <TrueBrain> 'uname -a' yes ;)
11:32:44  <TrueBrain> else, install util-vserver, and run: vserver-info
11:32:51  <SpComb> cat /proc/virtual/info
11:33:18  <SpComb> at least I assume that's vserver stuff
11:33:43  <Ammler> no virtual here
11:33:51  <Ammler> 2.6.18.1.20061115-ralph.33.p4 #1 SMP PREEMPT
11:33:54  <TrueBrain> I believe openvz uses that too
11:35:01  <TrueBrain> that is a special kernel :p
11:35:04  <Ammler> but if vserver isn't much additional performance usage, he might think about.
11:35:29  <TrueBrain> I like it, as it makes things a bit more secure
11:35:40  <TrueBrain> take OpenTTD .. if Apache goes out to play again, it only takes down all www-stuff
11:35:48  <TrueBrain> the compile-farm is not affected
11:35:54  <TrueBrain> or when WT2 thinks about consuming all his memory
11:35:57  <TrueBrain> only WT2 crashes
11:36:10  <TrueBrain> makes my world a little bit more simple ;)

17:45:57  <fjb> How can I tell a ./configure script where my lua installation is? I'm too stupid to compile anything C related...
17:46:31  <petern> Depends on the script. If it's a system-wide install it should be automatic.
17:47:14  <fjb> It only looks a a standard place for one Linux distribution.
17:47:30  <fjb> I set some shell varaibles:
17:47:34  <fjb> setenv CPPFLAGS -I/usr/local/include/lua50

17:48:34  <ln> autoconf hurts you and people around you.
17:48:38  <petern> usually ./configure --with-lua=/usr/local/include/lua50
17:48:40  <petern> or something like that
17:48:41  <fjb> setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib/lua5
17:48:53  <fjb> setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib/lua50

17:51:20  <fjb> ./configure --with-lua=/usr/local/include/lua50 is not working

18:59:10  <Belugas> Zuu, on Delphi. I'm doing a face lift on our old app.  Hell...
18:59:46  <fjb> glx: And why overloading is not always helpful...
19:00:13  <glx> it is helpful but you need to be careful with types
19:00:56  <ln> fjb: you're trying to build against wx unicode build, and your mainframe.cpp was not meant for unicode build.
19:01:11  <ln> fjb: surround the string literal with wxT()
19:02:01  <fjb> ln, thank you. That stupid configure script explicitly looked for the unicode version, so I thought that is ok.
19:02:32  <fjb> I found the wxT() thing, they use it sometimes, but not always.
19:03:10  <ln> fjb: in upcoming wx 3.0 the use of wxT() is not required nor recommended anymore, they are using UTF-8 rather than wide characters.
19:03:46  <glx> good change
19:03:53  <ln> yeah
19:03:59  <fjb> It would be much easier if I would understand C++ better...
19:04:09  <glx> openttd uses the same thing
19:04:23  <fjb> How do I convert: m_nutList->SetItem(ix, 4, info->dist_hostname);
19:04:23  <glx> (except for windows API calls)
19:04:57  <fjb> m_nutList->SetItem(ix, 4, wxt(info->dist_hostname)); does not work
19:05:08  <fjb> wxT ofcourse...
19:05:45  <glx> wxT() is for string litterals
19:05:50  <ln> nope, it doesn't, because wxT is a preprocessor macro only, and it just adds something to the begin of what you give to it.
19:06:11  <ln> fjb: wxString(info->dist_hostname, wxConvUTF8)
19:06:35  <fjb> Ah. Thank you.
19:06:47  <glx> explicit cast ;)
19:07:30  <fjb> I don't mind anything as long as I get this compiled and wiorking.
19:08:03  <ln> explicit cast in that point would precisely make it compile and not work. :)
19:11:42  <fjb> m_nutList->SetItem(ix, 4, wxString(info->dist_hostname, wxConvUTF8)); is not compiling :-(

19:13:54  <ln> me too.
19:14:26  <ln> fortunately all of those can be compiled into separate dirs, so the source is needed only once.
19:14:56  <fjb> Don't know what it is... I switch to the version vithout unicode...
19:15:20  <glx> and I should update it (still using 2.8.5)
19:16:11  <glx> hmm double the versions (I forgot static/dynamic)
19:16:12  <ln> something odd happens to panels between 2.8.6 and 2.8.8.
19:16:59  <fjb> I'm having 2.8.8 and that stupid source wants 2.8.8. So there should be not that many problems.
19:18:13  <ln> if you have a panel with some controls in a scrolledwindow, in >2.8.6 the panel will briefly "jump" to non-scrolled position when the controls are clicked.  i haven't bothered to reproduce this in the samples, though.
19:20:40  <ln> glx: do you use wx for work or for fun, and what platforms?
19:20:54  <glx> for fun and I use wxMSW
19:21:17  <glx> didn't used it recently though
19:22:01  <ln> it's unfortunate how often one has to patch it in order to fix or enhance something.

19:43:07  <MapperOG> hi
19:43:28  <herojoker> how many grid fields of an industry building have to be in the catchment area of a train station to get material from it?
19:44:06  <MapperOG> herojoker: I think just one - but I don't know for sure
19:44:15  <MapperOG> (I also don't know if there's a percentage or something)
19:44:18  <herojoker> currently, when building a station, one sees what a station will accept but now what it 'll get
19:44:49  <Aali> you do in the latest nightlies
19:45:05  <herojoker> so, a list of connected [material providing] industries (before building) would be nice
19:45:32  <Aali> like i said, already done, its just not in any official release yet
19:45:37  <herojoker> ok :)
19:45:54  <herojoker> is it possible to see the catchment area also after building the object?
19:46:41  <Aali> just hold the preview over what you already built :P

19:48:45  <herojoker> Aali: i don't understand "hold the preview over ..." :( how do i do that?
19:48:54  <herojoker> (i'm a complete TT newbie)
19:50:24  <Aali> herojoker: preview = the outline you get under the mouse pointer when you're building something
19:51:12  <herojoker> oh ok...
19:51:41  <herojoker> i would have expected to be able to see the catchment area without calling the construction menu ^^
19:52:19  <herojoker> furthermore it would be nice if all catchment areas would be shown when building a new station
19:52:31  <Belugas> they are
19:52:43  <Belugas> just click on the button allowing it
19:53:30  <Aali> well you'll only get the catchment area of whatever you're building
19:54:00  <Aali> would be nice if you could see the entire stations catchment area
19:54:07  <Belugas> indeed, that's when you are realy needing it...
19:54:33  <herojoker> Aali: that's what i meant :)
19:55:17  <Aali> it would also be great if you could see which industries are actually covered by the catchment area, not just a list of cargo types
19:55:39  <herojoker> yep
19:56:04  <Aali> sure, you can work it out yourself with existing tools, but its tedious
19:56:15  <herojoker> or the reverse: for each industry a list of connected stations
19:58:19  <herojoker> arg, the game is a bit too fast for me... i get so many messages ^^
19:58:24  <Belugas> strange...just looking around, i can easily find all connected industries to a statuon...
19:58:33  <Belugas> or vice-versa :S
19:59:28  <Aali> Belugas: i guess it depends on how complex your stations are
19:59:45  <Belugas> true
19:59:53  <herojoker> Belugas: as a list/text or just visually?
20:00:01  <Belugas> visually
20:00:08  <herojoker> XD
20:00:48  <Aali> i usually play with the distant join patch, not so i can actually join distant stations, i just want to be able to build stations next to each other

20:01:49  <herojoker> mmh, wasn't there a grf which allows raising/lowering land with streets and rails on it?
20:02:04  <herojoker> or do you think that's a cheat? ^^
20:02:09  <glx> a grf can't do that
20:02:12  <Aali> glx: thats in trunk now?

20:12:05  <herojoker> but it has no orders
20:12:13  <TrueBrain> don't start it yet
20:13:23  <TrueBrain> so don't start it yet!
20:14:28  <herojoker> ok, just realized that there seems to be a difference between setting the depot as a destination and using the depot button
20:14:46  <herojoker> it also had cargo
20:14:52  <Aali> indeed
20:15:24  <Aali> depot orders cannot make a train stop in the depot
20:15:34  <Aali> (without the right patch)
20:16:27  <herojoker> cool, first time driving with full cargo wagons -> loco broke in the middle of the tour
20:16:42  <herojoker> is there a button like "go to last view"?
20:17:10  <herojoker> so e.g. when i accidently click on a news and it brings me to a completely other point on the map, i'd like to return directly

20:21:54  <Belugas> haaa... ok.. that...
20:22:23  <herojoker> ok :/
20:24:05  <herojoker> why is setting up the schedule not possible in pause mode? (but building vehicles and modifying schedule points is)
20:24:46  <Belugas> note that it's easy to compensate.  whenever you are about to check obn something that could potentially transport you far from where you are, jsut create an extra viewport
20:25:48  <Belugas> then, just "Paste From Viewport" and you're back
20:25:58  <herojoker> ok :D
20:26:53  <herojoker> oh man, my native language is german but the english version seems much more understandable..
20:27:02  <Bjarni> lol
20:27:19  <Bjarni> I thought the German translation were one of the good ones :s
20:28:07  <herojoker> the meaning of Paste from/Copy to  viewport is clear, but Aus/In  Zusatzansicht is just bad...
20:28:45  <DJNekkid> is CB33 supported in Openttd?
20:30:08  <herojoker> but overall the german translation seems ok :)
20:30:15  <glx> DJNekkid: it is
20:30:40  <Belugas> DJNekkid : http://wiki.openttd.org/wiki/index.php/NewGRF_Support
20:31:27  <petern> it is?
20:31:32  <Belugas> maybe not up to date,but quite close to it
20:32:19  <herojoker> is there a way to rotate the view?
20:32:22  <petern> oh, yes
20:32:30  <petern> i was thinking of the ambient sound callback
20:32:31  <glx> herojoker: no
20:32:44  <Belugas> yes it is, petern :) You wrote it ;)
20:32:45  <herojoker> ok, then i'll use the transparency settings :)
20:32:52  <glx> because there's only 1 view for each buildings
20:33:08  <petern> yeah, i was thinking of 144.
20:33:17  <glx> 144 is not supported :)
20:33:26  <petern> jesus
20:33:41  * Belugas wonders which grf features the 144 cb...
20:33:58  * glx wonders the same
20:34:07  <Belugas> :)
20:34:38  <petern> installing the package "asterisk" on lenny wants to install a full compiler environment, tons of dev libraries, odbc stuff... and kernel driver source
20:34:42  <petern> which is bloody stupid :(
20:34:50  <Belugas> let's modify the nightly, and as soon as a grf tries to set it up, make it crash with a big red box showing the grf file name ^_^
20:34:52  <herojoker> is it possible to reorder the orders?
20:34:57  <petern> i'd compile it myself but i'd only have to install a full compiler environment to do that...
20:35:14  * Bjarni wonders if the text in the viewport window should be changed to make it more clear
20:35:37  * Belugas wonders if it's not too early to go home
20:35:55  <DJNekkid> then i find it wierd why my CB33 wont work ... and it's even doublechecked with DaleStan  :)

20:50:14  <herojoker> and quite near to each other
20:50:38  <Aali> cities in TT don't have to be small
20:50:49  <Aali> thats just the map generators fault

20:52:09  <herojoker> i was just wondering whether such sims exist
20:53:00  <herojoker> has it been estimated how big a block would be in reality? (in meters^2)
20:54:53  <Aali> you mean a tile?
20:55:01  <Bjarni> I think so
20:55:22  <herojoker> yes, tile
20:55:29  <Bjarni> but if we make it that realistic then a tile would have to be rather small if it only allows one railroad track
20:55:47  <Bjarni> meaning certain stuff like ships would be rather big
20:55:55  <herojoker> that's right
20:55:59  <Zuu> Bjarni: I'll make a list of things that I think are most questionable in the design of the patch so the person who will review it can start looking there.
20:56:01  <Bjarni> and fill way too many tiles
20:56:25  <herojoker> in such games i usually see those graphics only as represenations
20:56:44  <Bjarni> Zuu: good idea. A well written description of the intended purpose would also be nice ;)

22:03:48  <Bjarni>  <herojoker> i'm currently bound to winxp <--- somebody showed me his laptop today. He upgraded to XP (from vista) and he said "now it's able to execute all apps and it's way faster"
22:04:02  <Bjarni> so you could do worse than XP
22:04:10  <herojoker> hehe
22:04:12  <Bjarni> but you could do better too
22:04:23  <herojoker> imo xp is the best windows version yet
22:04:57  <fjb> Network stack of Vista is faster than the one of xp.
22:05:20  <glx> unzipping a file is way slower on vista
22:05:37  <Tefad> herojoker: you need at least SP2 to say that
22:05:47  <Bjarni> the network stack isn't important if you can tell the speed difference in explorer right away
22:06:36  <Tefad> if i ever use windows as a desktop OS again, i will not be using the standard shell.
22:06:45  <herojoker> yep, i'm using sp2 (i'm always postponing sp3 installation...)
22:07:01  <Bjarni> I have XP... it's just not on the default boot partition :)
22:07:02  <herojoker> Tefad: which one would you use?
22:07:10  <Tefad> the one that doesn't suck
22:07:23  <Ammler> that spam on paste.openttd.org is a good anonymizer
22:07:25  <Bjarni> basically it's for whenever I need to execute something windows only
22:07:50  <Tefad> in linux i can boot into a graphical environment and consume less than 40MB RAM
22:07:54  <herojoker> :-)
22:07:58  <Bjarni> nice
22:08:09  <Tefad> i think vista sucks 200MB just booting.
22:08:17  <herojoker> actually i want to use gentoo...
22:08:19  <Tefad> then another 200MB for your office app preload and virus scanner.
22:08:20  <Bjarni> that is if it's usable
22:08:43  <herojoker> but i started with a 64bit install, but then saw that it's not usable yet ^^
22:08:53  <Tefad> what? i'm in 64bit gentoo right now
22:09:02  <Tefad> my friend has 64bit gentoo laptop
22:09:09  <herojoker> my wlan card wasn't supported at that time
22:09:12  <Tefad> with silly 3d window manager
22:09:28  <Tefad> neither is his. he has to use ndiswrapper with a vista driver
22:09:53  <herojoker> i also tried that, but there was no 64bit driver
22:09:57  <herojoker> for no os
22:10:04  <Tefad> i see. fun!
22:10:13  <Tefad> he was lucky to find the vista driver
22:10:52  <herojoker> yeah, just forgot to make that clear *before* starting to install gentoo...
22:11:10  <Bjarni> 64bit is totally overrated
22:11:15  <herojoker> (started with lan but had to switch to wlan)
22:11:17  <Eddi|zuHause> <Tefad> in linux i can boot into a graphical environment and consume less than 40MB RAM <- well, that's after many hours of custom crafting... i'm not sure if that is really worth the effort

22:11:55  <Tefad> gentoo
22:11:56  <herojoker> :D
22:12:19  <Eddi|zuHause> well, my standard suse installation had a noticeable speedup when i upgraded from 512MB to 1GB of RAM
22:12:30  <herojoker> is there a C version of portage now?
22:12:35  <Aali> wait a minute, the only requirement here is a graphical environment?
22:12:49  <Tefad> Aali: uh, preferably X11
22:12:50  <Aali> you could do that with 16mb or less
22:13:06  <Tefad> yes, i could.. but then i wouldn't have a decent video driver
22:13:15  <Tefad> i think nvidia's is at least 8MB
22:13:19  <Tefad> giant blob.
22:13:22  <Aali> maybe

22:13:42  <Tefad> and i typically run a few bash instances as a meg a pop
22:14:03  <Eddi|zuHause> sure, some memory optimising is good, but there is a balance where the effort cancels out the gain
22:14:05  <Bjarni> The Amiga 500 did ok for a graphical environment with only 512k of memory
22:14:37  <Aali> Bjarni: but it didn't run linux
22:14:40  <Eddi|zuHause> imho, usability weighs much more than a small memory footprint
22:14:49  <Bjarni> yeah
22:14:51  <herojoker> Tefad: have the C-based boot scripts established now?
22:14:53  <Bjarni> so 40 mb sounds nice

22:17:37  <Tefad> cat5 is enough for short runs of gige
