09:13:34  <frosch123> :p
09:14:08  <frosch123> i should join transport empire
09:14:18  <planetmaker> or just ask for a special colour. To warn of the jumpy nickname associations
09:14:53  <frosch123> sounds dangerous, what if V gets a rainbow nick?
09:15:33  <frosch123> who is geo ghost?

09:16:53  <frosch123> yeah, but unless they are locomotion guys, i should at least know them by name :s
09:16:57  <planetmaker> runs the monthly photo competition
09:17:41  <planetmaker> not sure he plays anything still... don't recall his activity on anything else but the competition

09:52:44  <oskari89> planetmaker: How hard it would be to code that feature?
09:53:18  <planetmaker> not very
09:53:41  <planetmaker> but you have to be careful. And introduce several if then else cases depending on settings
09:53:53  <planetmaker> though maybe one can do without
09:54:08  <planetmaker> depends on how you extend the window and add or change the string(s)
09:57:27  <planetmaker> and depends on whether you want to make it configurable in any way or if you're content with increasing the text area for each vehicle by two or three lines, thus adding 50...100% in size
09:58:40  *** pugi [~pugi@host-091-097-004-197.ewe-ip-backbone.de] has joined #openttd
09:59:09  <planetmaker> oskari89, the main problem IMHO is that it starts to be or is over the edge of "too much information" in that window and whether and if so, how to deal with it
10:06:06  <Eddi|zuHause> actually, i disagree. there are some important infos missing currently...
10:06:29  <Eddi|zuHause> and "NewGRF can add it" is not the solution to everything
10:06:44  <planetmaker> I know. Note that I did not say that
10:21:40  <oskari89> Eddi|zuhause: Exactly
10:22:42  <oskari89> Those introduction dates and lifetimes are important info IMHO
10:23:39  <oskari89> Because they are already on locomotive and MU's, they should be on wagons and coaches too :P
10:23:50  <Eddi|zuHause> i disagree to the lifetime though, wagons have no lifetime, only a model life (and that is not displayed for engines either)
10:24:11  <oskari89> Ok
10:24:29  <oskari89> Introduction date could be nice though :P
10:24:55  <Eddi|zuHause> intro date would be "nice to have", but loading speed is imho essential
10:24:56  <planetmaker> Introduction dates... that's pointless really. They're there in the list, if available. Otherwise not
10:25:15  <planetmaker> it makes some sense jointly with model life
10:25:19  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: but that applies to engines as well
10:25:38  <Eddi|zuHause> it's inconsistent to do it for one, and leave it out for the other
10:25:45  <planetmaker> But then, do you know the model life of the vehicle you buy now?
10:26:16  <oskari89> Engines do contain introduction dates already without model life :P
10:26:20  *** snorre_ [~snorre@c3D04BF51.dhcp.as2116.net] has joined #openttd
10:26:27  <Eddi|zuHause> another thing that's missing is the compatible/powered railtypes, but i'm not sure how to display that
10:26:39  <planetmaker> that'll be nearly a sack of worms
10:26:42  *** Ristovski [~rafael@78.157.7.34] has joined #openttd
10:26:53  <planetmaker> loading speed imho is the most important missing one
10:27:06  <planetmaker> which in my eyes should get some more love than the plain nfo speed
10:27:19  <planetmaker> thus, making it more than very easy task, oskari89
10:27:24  <Ristovski> Hello
10:27:28  <planetmaker> hi Ristovski
10:27:34  <frosch123> [12:25] <planetmaker> it makes some sense jointly with model life <- model life would be most silly
10:27:34  <oskari89> planetmaker: Ok
10:27:42  <Alberth> planetmaker: introduction dates are mostly for checking which one is the newest
10:27:46  <frosch123> you do not know how long a engine will be available :p
10:27:49  <Ristovski> Finally it's only 20C here
10:27:54  <planetmaker> frosch123, yes. See above ;-)
10:28:02  <frosch123> :p
10:28:09  *** snorre [~snorre@c3D04BF51.dhcp.as2116.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
10:28:15  <Eddi|zuHause> oh, and while we're discussing stuff, the engine preview/news windows should display the newgrf text as well (possibly with a flag to the callback where it's written)
10:28:33  <oskari89> Yes, that is correct
10:28:42  <oskari89> I've missed out that too
10:29:19  * Alberth just always clicks "no"
10:29:33  <Eddi|zuHause> that is not the point :p
10:29:42  <planetmaker> sometimes I accept. But then I know that I can really use it
10:30:19  *** zooks [~zooks@vhe-540241.sshn.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
10:30:20  <planetmaker> for trainsets I do not know, I'm missing a comparison function to decide whether I want to accept the preview
10:30:28  <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: it also does not help, those pesky manufacturers continue asking :p
10:30:47  <Eddi|zuHause> different feature :p
10:31:23  <planetmaker> :-)
10:31:33  <oskari89> But to the original thing: I think locomotive/MU and wagon/coach info should be identical
10:31:43  <oskari89> (as shown)
10:32:07  <oskari89> Mainly :P
10:32:35  <oskari89> Introduction dates should really be on both
10:32:44  *** HerzogDeXtEr [~Flex@i59F6B62C.versanet.de] has joined #openttd
10:33:41  <Eddi|zuHause> now you're just discussing in circles
10:33:41  <Alberth> oskari89: aren't you assuming here "newer == better"?
10:33:52  <Alberth> which need not be the case
10:35:11  *** Eddi|zuHause [~johekr@p5DC67847.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit []
10:35:19  <planetmaker> really. introduction date... is absolutely unneeded for deciding on a vehicle to buy
10:35:47  <oskari89> For information purposes it should be fine
10:35:49  <planetmaker> vehicle life is more important. That is the estimated time till replacement
10:36:06  <planetmaker> you say it's the most important missing thing. I disagree quite a bit there
10:36:17  <planetmaker> it doesn't add really useful info
10:36:48  <oskari89> It adds info for player to seek wagons and coaches from different generations
10:37:01  <planetmaker> no
10:37:01  <Ristovski> planetmaker: we still need a function to mute OpenTTD :D
10:37:02  <oskari89> And make proper consist based on that intro date
10:37:20  <oskari89> :P
10:37:25  * Alberth gives Ristovski a cable cutter
10:37:28  <Ristovski> I mean, you can disable the audio set, sure, but you need to exit the game for that
10:37:46  <Ristovski> Alberth: Great, now I need to solder it back again :C
10:37:52  <Alberth> edit the openttd.config manually?
10:37:56  <planetmaker> Ristovski, yes, that's true. Please, I'll gladly accept patches. Game options window should allow that.
10:38:16  <Ristovski> planetmaker: hmm... maybe a button and a shortcut?
10:38:33  <Ristovski> Ill poke around in the source later
10:38:43  <Alberth> Ristovski: that's step 2 or 3 or so
10:38:43  <planetmaker> Ristovski, music can be changed ingame from... juke box. Just not music set
10:38:54  <planetmaker> but there it should be feasible to change, too
10:39:01  <planetmaker> maybe not sound set, though
10:39:19  <planetmaker> as that messes with newgrfs potentially
10:39:23  <planetmaker> just music
10:39:29  <planetmaker> though volume, of course for both
10:40:00  <Ristovski> also, you could be able to mute all of the sounds with a button/shortcut
10:40:22  <Ristovski> planetmaker: maybe even a feature that mutes the sounds when OpenTTD is minimized, that would be cool
10:40:25  <oskari89> planetmaker: Because introduction date is shown already on locomotives and  multiple units (good feature), it should be available too on coaches and wagons, there's no reason to left it out :P
10:40:36  <planetmaker> Ristovski, that could imho be a patch coming after this rework
10:40:56  <planetmaker> shortcuts can be assigned to single things
10:41:02  <Ristovski> hmm, ok
10:41:12  *** LordAro [~LordAro@host217-43-26-155.range217-43.btcentralplus.com] has joined #openttd
10:41:15  <frosch123> [12:30] <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: it also does not help, those pesky manufacturers continue asking :p <- the funny thing about the previews is actually, that you are asked less if you say "yes" and then do not build it :p
10:41:31  <planetmaker> Ristovski, only because I think the current inconsistency there is worse than a missing global shortcut for "mute all"
10:41:39  <LordAro> 'lo all
10:41:40  <frosch123> so, if they annoy you, you should always say "yes" :)
10:41:45  <planetmaker> could probably be done rather independently
10:41:46  <Ristovski> planetmaker: Yeah, true :P
10:41:52  <planetmaker> hi lobster
10:41:55  <Alberth> hi LordAro
10:42:06  <planetmaker> he... yea... LordAro :-)
10:42:14  <LordAro> hai Alberth and planetmaker :)
10:42:18  <planetmaker> damn tab completion ;-)
10:42:22  <LordAro> autocomplete screw you over again? :P
10:42:32  <Ristovski> planetmaker: Also, sorry for not doing any translation work, was kinda busy
10:42:43  <planetmaker> RL is RL. No worries
10:43:04  <planetmaker> you should get going at ogfx-landscape, though ;-)
10:43:18  <LordAro> scary place, outside
10:43:27  <Alberth> frosch123: yeah, but it's still a nuisance :)
10:43:31  <planetmaker> windows3D, LordAro ;-)
10:43:36  <planetmaker> with touch-feedback
10:43:45  <Ristovski> planetmaker: hmm, true, I could translate some of those
10:45:36  <planetmaker> and I need to find motivation to tackle the last missing bit... rail tunnels
10:45:52  <Ristovski> DO EET
10:46:32  <planetmaker> it's boring graphics work. Not interesting one. Copy & paste. Removing grids. No new work.
10:47:00  <planetmaker> separating tracks + tunnels :S
10:47:15  <planetmaker> and tunnels + terrain
10:47:15  <Ristovski> I should learn to do that, but too lazy :P

11:53:13  <zooks> in NML, how do you reference to a sprite in another grf or in a baseset? Can't find such functions in the documentation..
11:55:12  <planetmaker> another newgrf: you cannot
11:55:21  <planetmaker> baseset sprites: by their number
11:55:56  <planetmaker> http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Spritelayout
11:58:45  <zooks> ah thx!
11:58:50  <planetmaker> see also base_sprite_2cc and base_sprite_shores in http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:General
11:59:02  *** fonsinchen [~fonsinche@dslb-188-102-147-004.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #openttd
11:59:14  <planetmaker> oh. and base_sprite_foundations
12:00:42  <LordAro> it would be cool if you could do something like: "if newgrf123 is loaded, use newgrf123_sprite5, else ..."
12:02:15  <planetmaker> LordAro, that's... very impractical
12:02:23  <planetmaker> it has many unknowns
12:02:34  <planetmaker> newgrf order, and parameters of *all* newgrfs
12:02:45  <planetmaker> and openttd version
12:02:51  <LordAro> true :L
12:02:51  <planetmaker> and baseset version
12:02:53  <frosch123> don't we have some andy quote in stock about newgrfs checking about other newgrfs? :p
12:02:56  <planetmaker> so... not going to happen
12:03:21  <LordAro> aaw :L
12:04:30  <planetmaker> LordAro, at least I don't see how to practically do that. If there's a way to do that without base set determining the newgrf sprite numbers... then maybe
12:06:34  <LordAro> not saying it wouldn't be totally impractical :)
12:06:51  <LordAro> just that grfs can already see what other newgrfs are loaded, right?
12:07:37  <LordAro> therefore (in my head at least) it wouldn't be too far of a stretch for my imagination to allow access to other parts of the newgrf, such as parameters or sprites
12:08:53  <Alberth> we are trying to eradicate such evilnesses!
12:09:00  <planetmaker> LordAro, NewGRFs can see which and where others are loaded, including their parameters
12:09:46  <planetmaker> LordAro, where do you actually need that?
12:10:16  <LordAro> i have no idea, i was merely commenting on the previous conversation with zook s
12:10:19  <planetmaker> If you want to change stuff of an existing NewGRF: use a NewGRF override
12:10:23  <LordAro> :3
12:10:31  <planetmaker> If you add new stuff: check for the grf. And include the sprite(s)
12:10:40  <Rubidium> LordAro: good luck with your massive lookup table for finding the right sprite in all 'supported' versions of the NewGRF
12:10:46  <planetmaker> you do NOT need landscape sprites. They're baseset
12:11:18  <planetmaker> and indeed, I would not be able to give or want to guarantee any sprite number in any grf except the 5 base grfs
12:11:39  <planetmaker> not even the 6th base grf, the extra one I can guarantee it
12:11:55  <LordAro> i never said it was practical, it was just an idea!
12:11:59  * LordAro hides
12:12:00  <Rubidium> that is... if you compile it again with NML, the sprites might be somewhere else... so version includes the carthesian product of both the NML source version AND the NML compiler version
12:12:05  <planetmaker> add an additional action14 translation *poof*
12:14:20  <Rubidium> so merely ~4 million versions for OpenGFX+ Landscape -> 32 MB lookup table
12:14:58  <planetmaker> :D
12:15:17  * LordAro buries his head deeper into the sand
12:15:25  <planetmaker> I doubt that that many NML versions compile it, Rubidium ;-)

12:46:57  <zooks> something like this: replace(1004) {sprite: 4061}
12:50:22  <planetmaker> probably should work
12:50:52  <zooks> nmlc: "input", line 10: Syntax error, unexpected token "4061"
12:51:34  <planetmaker> right. does not work ;-)
12:52:42  <zooks> Hmm too bad
12:53:13  <planetmaker> maybe, you tell us about what you try to achieve
12:53:42  <planetmaker> more broadly than "replace X with Y"
12:53:53  <zooks> Something trivial, replace map edge with water
12:54:05  <zooks> just for fun
12:54:20  <planetmaker> he, yeah. Not so trivial then indeed
12:54:39  <planetmaker> also... OpenGFX knows two kinds of water ;-)
12:54:45  <LordAro> i'm fairly sure i've seen a(n old) grf which did that
12:54:53  <planetmaker> ^
12:54:58  <LordAro> i think it was from the pre-land-borders era
12:55:06  <planetmaker> I think so, too
12:55:06  <LordAro> so it worked better :L
12:55:20  <zooks> yeah, thats what I tried to recreate
12:55:33  <V453000> that newGRF was fun actually :)
12:56:14  <planetmaker> it's really hard to make that NewGRF when you want to ensure that the water's without border
12:56:43  <planetmaker> But actually that might indeed be good. Take any water sprite (e.g. OpenGFX' river water) and replace that black tile by it
12:56:53  <planetmaker> then it's water, slightly different water and it should be fine
12:57:06  <planetmaker> as you then even know where the maps end
12:57:34  <planetmaker> except in the case where s/o creates a massive lake at height != 0
12:58:24  <V453000> how could you make a lake at height different than 0
12:58:59  <planetmaker> scenario editor?
12:59:08  <planetmaker> or canals
12:59:20  <Alberth> terraforming
13:00:47  <V453000> you mean rivers?
13:01:38  <planetmaker> lakes technically consist of river or canal tiles, yes.

16:08:43  <SineTheCreator> samu: try a set like american renewal to see a huge difference. some sets handle accel differently

16:09:46  <SineTheCreator> it's just one set
16:09:49  <SineTheCreator> er, one newgrf

16:10:41  <LordAro> planetmaker: :(
16:11:04  <SineTheCreator> yeah give it a shot before judging :D it makes the game more difficult but also more interesting
16:11:09  <samu> i doubt anyone will join
16:11:15  <samu> but will try
16:11:22  <SineTheCreator> trains become less about 'what year they came out' and more about what their specific nich is
16:11:25  <SineTheCreator> niche*
16:11:43  <planetmaker> can I actively *exclude* some AIs from being chosen as random opponent?
16:11:55  <planetmaker> (other than deleting them)
16:12:01  <SineTheCreator> for example the american renewal set has trains starting from the mid-1800's, and none of them are decidedly 'better' than another when it comes to cost vs. speed and power
16:12:08  <SineTheCreator> but each engine is designed for a specific task
16:12:18  <SineTheCreator> managing this you can get some really unique and fun networks going :D
16:12:39  <LordAro> planetmaker: other than changing their info.nut, no
16:13:11  <SineTheCreator> for example if you want to pull 4 or 6 cars you can use a less powerful engine that is cheaper. but for a 15 car train you'll need a more expensive and powerful engine, or multiple engines. but all engines may go the same speed, etc.
16:13:24  <samu> yummi, borkai v12, that is a new version
16:13:28  <planetmaker> sounds like a useful configuration. Hint @ LordAro :-P

16:26:41  <samu> american set, do i use realistic acceleration or original?
16:26:47  <planetmaker> he doesn't know its stations, its tracks, its money...
16:26:55  <SineTheCreator> samu: you can use either, but realistic is more interesting to play
16:26:56  <planetmaker> its vehicle orders
16:27:06  <samu> oki, realistic
16:27:19  <SineTheCreator> for these trains tractive effort and amount of power/weight actually mean something practical :D
16:27:21  <planetmaker> SineTheCreator, you might find the stable / Welcome server of #openttdcoop enjoyable, though
16:27:38  <planetmaker> people there, you can play alone, you need not...
16:27:48  <SineTheCreator> hrm, okay :D thanks. i'll give it a shot
16:28:03  <planetmaker> not competitive, just co-existing companies :-)
16:28:05  <SineTheCreator> yeah
16:28:17  <SineTheCreator> that's fine with me too
16:28:22  <samu> i put denver & rio grande, it says it likes NARS

16:29:18  <LordAro> samu: denver & rio grande has never been very successful - it was more of a pathfinder demonstration than anything else
16:29:26  <planetmaker> ^^

16:31:30  <LordAro> *good :L
16:32:47  <SineTheCreator> samu: yeah, the american renewal includes a ton of engines from all eras
16:32:50  <SineTheCreator> the list is massive
16:32:59  <SineTheCreator> it also includes realistic cars
16:33:29  <SineTheCreator> note that you may need to refit a car to handle a certain kind of cargo. pay special attention to the car descriptions
16:33:55  <SineTheCreator> some trains can also be regeared, you do this at the depot or automatically via orders
16:34:24  <SineTheCreator> LordAro: 'god' may be the correct term depending on your meaning :D
16:34:34  <LordAro> that's true :)
16:34:34  <SineTheCreator> if it's VERY good at what it does, i think god is sufficient
16:35:01  <LordAro> it's the only AI that build 'true' double rails
16:35:08  <SineTheCreator> wow
16:35:23  <SineTheCreator> i figured AIs had come a long way by now
16:35:27  <SineTheCreator> i just never use any

16:37:11  <samu> i bought a lima class
16:37:21  <samu> it doesn't like passenger car
16:37:28  <samu> how do I fix it
16:37:54  <planetmaker> get newgrf code. change newgrf code. compile newgrf. reload game
16:38:11  <samu> i hear a noise
16:38:22  <samu> ah, it's a sound effect

16:38:51  <samu> nice
16:39:19  <samu> they make a noise while moving
16:39:26  <samu> interesting
16:39:46  <SineTheCreator> samu: use a different engine perhaps?
16:39:53  <SineTheCreator> samu: pay attention to the engine descriptions
16:40:03  <SineTheCreator> it tells you which cargos engines are designed for
16:40:14  <SineTheCreator> a great many are designed for passengers and have steam heating and such
16:40:20  <samu> suitable for steep hills
16:40:39  <SineTheCreator> in that case pick one with a lot of power and tractive effort
16:41:32  <samu> engine description says suitable for: steep hills
16:41:33  <SineTheCreator> pax is a good place to start when using these trains

16:42:12  <SineTheCreator> hm. sometimes trains are only suitable for freight but they don't specify
16:42:26  <SineTheCreator> sometimes they only accept a certain type of passenger car
16:42:28  <samu> ah, i see

16:46:33  <SineTheCreator> that's not much
16:46:48  <SineTheCreator> a consolidation can probably handle 10 cars quite easily

16:47:31  <samu> let me increase station
16:48:08  <SineTheCreator> a station length of 6 tiles is enough for 8 cars + a caboose on most freight trains
16:48:24  <SineTheCreator> oh and freight trains require a caboose if they are longer than a few cars

16:49:41  <SineTheCreator> the thing to remember here is that some trains may have a low top speed but tons of torque, so they get there quite fast even with heavy loads
16:49:45  <samu> 6.7 train size, need to change settings
16:50:32  <SineTheCreator> oh and obviously the caboose does not need to be 'in' a station to unload properly
16:50:37  <SineTheCreator> i mean the speed of unloading
16:51:05  <samu> denver is beating me
16:51:06  <SineTheCreator> so you can build caboose'd freight haulers that are slightly longer than the station
16:51:07  <samu> the AI
16:52:05  <samu> max train size, how many tiles?
16:52:09  <samu> default says 7 tiles
16:52:47  <samu> ... ok, 64 tiles
16:52:55  <LordAro> denver is beating you??

17:01:55  <planetmaker> LordAro, being beaten by an AI. Depends on the time scale. For t < 10 years: might even be likely, if you prefert to build nice networks yourself
17:02:16  <planetmaker> but once the network effect kicks in: then you win. you win big time
17:02:32  <planetmaker> but win... if you define "winning" in terms of operational profit
17:03:21  <samu> these carriages have multiple colors yet they're the same?
17:03:21  <LordAro> planetmaker: true, but denver usually screws up its first route, then just sits there waiting for money :L
17:03:47  <planetmaker> yeah, maybe. I removed it long ago from my list of AIs
17:04:44  <samu> they're doing good

17:04:56  <samu> they all profit

17:53:09  <samu> i sorted by livestock, it's empty
17:58:00  <samu> is it intended or did I screw something?
18:01:05  <Alberth> I think those two options are not mutually exclusive :p
18:01:43  <Alberth> obviously, when the vehicle set does not provide livestock transport, it is intended
18:02:22  <Alberth> either because at the time of creating that set, therewas no such need, or the author did not consider it important, or some other reason
18:02:37  <planetmaker> Alberth, absence of a possibility does not imply intention
18:02:39  <planetmaker> ;-)
18:02:59  <Alberth> the author could also have forgotten about it
18:03:03  <planetmaker> as in "some other reason" = bug :-)
18:03:06  <Alberth> planetmaker: happy now? :)
18:03:16  * planetmaker is happy
18:03:24  * Alberth is happy too
18:03:29  <planetmaker> setting refits properly is a bitch in NewGRF terrain
18:03:58  <planetmaker> easy to miss a single possibility in the HUGE list
18:04:05  <Alberth> samu: for some sets, therere are addition newgrfs that add transport options for newer industry newgrfs
18:04:13  <planetmaker> especially if you want it realistically ;-)
18:04:53  <samu> i am using this only
18:05:02  <samu> the nars
18:05:17  <samu> v 2.03
18:06:33  <samu> North American Renewal Set
18:08:29  <Alberth> too realistic for me :)

18:27:01  <samu> modern livestock
18:28:15  <V453000> does NARS have any era when animal wagons are missing?
18:28:23  <samu> yes
18:28:30  <V453000> amazing
18:28:31  <samu> 1950-1961 at least
18:28:34  <V453000> good train set
18:29:17  <V453000> you could always turn vehicles_never_expire on though
18:31:17  <samu> no livestock for maglev
18:31:30  <samu> oil
18:31:41  <samu> wow, there's many missing cars in maglev
18:32:08  <samu> well I guess it's intended
18:32:37  <V453000> that is intended
18:32:48  <V453000> if you consider it missing, I suggest trying NUTS though :P
18:38:18  <samu> cattle car
18:38:56  <V453000> nuts is a train set
18:39:11  <V453000> though with the amount of focus on animals you could almost call it a cattle car :P
18:39:54  <samu> cattle car disappeared in 1921
18:42:17  <samu> modern livestock car appears in 1961
18:42:35  <samu> 40 years without livestock cargo
18:43:50  <V453000> yep, not all train sets are meant to be actually played with as you can see
18:44:19  <samu> downloading nuts unrealistic train set
18:46:19  <V453000> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/nuts/wiki might come in handy
18:46:20  <Alberth> or perhaps not to be played with as you see it :)
18:47:08  <samu> there is no passengers
18:47:10  <samu> hmmm :o
18:47:20  <samu> nevermind, there are
18:47:28  <samu> the filter was set to livestock
18:47:30  <Alberth> "Vehicles never expire - on"  :D
18:48:05  <Alberth> I break a lot of your rules, it seems, V :)
18:48:35  <V453000> NUTS vehicles cant expire :)
18:48:51  <V453000> those arent rules but suggestions :)
18:49:21  <V453000> if you make your fast train classes useless with weight multiplier, not my problem :P
18:53:41  <samu> 80 passengers a carriage though it says 40
18:55:48  <glx> should be rush hour :)
18:56:07  <V453000> it also probably says that capacity changes based on which engine they are attached to

20:54:46  <Rubidium> as long as he isn't the one that gave safety qualifications to the Fyra, he can't be that bad ;)
20:55:24  <LordAro> night all
20:55:30  <planetmaker> night, LordAro
20:56:15  <LordAro> probably won't see me again for the next couple of weeks - exams :/
20:56:28  <LordAro> well, *shouldn't* see me anyway :L
20:57:08  <LordAro> bye

21:57:11  <samu> question about autorenew
21:57:44  <samu> the replace vehicles with autorenew company setting
21:58:04  <samu> i have a ship
21:58:09  <samu> it's past old age
21:58:27  <samu> but it's not renewing because i also have told to replace it with another model, more expensive

21:59:43  *** dfox [~dfox@123.100.broadband11.iol.cz] has joined #openttd
22:00:38  <samu> gonna try again, I have a MPS ship aged 35 years old when it's max age is 30
22:01:01  <samu> I also have enough money to autorenew it to another MPS
22:01:15  <samu> but it didn't renew
22:01:44  <samu> was that because I also told to replace it with a Bakewell? A more expensive model?
22:02:07  <samu> even though I have the autorenew setting turned on?
22:02:54  <samu> replace MPS ship to Bakewell ship when old?
22:04:24  <samu> sorry, my brain is failing me again

22:12:41  *** zeknurn` is now known as zeknurn
22:16:32  <samu> oh course it isn't renewing
22:16:57  <samu> it would become new again and have to wait 30 more years to be old
22:17:02  <samu> of*
22:17:34  <samu> my error
22:20:12  <V453000> there isnt any reason to autorenew if you use breakdowns off
22:20:41  <samu> breakdowns are normal
22:21:03  <V453000> breakdowns are wrong :)
22:21:10  <samu> are set to normal
22:21:20  <V453000> none is preferable
22:22:22  <samu> just got the new ship
22:22:26  <samu> the bakewell
22:22:44  <samu> well sorry all
22:23:12  <samu> 6 years past max age with all those breakdowns, I have to be careful with this

22:53:34  <peter1138> possibly because nobody uses ships
