09:24:25  <George> Good morning.
09:24:49  <George> Can anyone tell me what tracker does devzone use?
09:27:17  <planetmaker> DevZone uses Redmine
09:27:24  <planetmaker> hello George :)
09:30:49  <Xaroth|Work> o/ planetmaker
09:30:54  <Xaroth|Work> did you get my spam from last night?
09:31:43  <planetmaker> hey Xaroth yeah, just reading back now. Sounds interesting speed gain
09:33:15  *** Pecio [~fgh@acdm133.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has left #openttd []
09:36:32  <Xaroth|Work> pypy gives a really nice speed gain most of the time, it's just a pita to get working
09:37:09  <planetmaker> I never used it. What's the pitfalls?
09:37:28  <Xaroth|Work> er, basically it installs as if it's a different python version
09:37:56  <Xaroth|Work> but libraries with scripts (i.e. easy_install) aren't always aware
09:38:06  <Xaroth|Work> so they override your system's version to only use pypy
09:38:12  <Xaroth|Work> which is annoying if you want to run it side-by-side
09:39:10  <Xaroth|Work> ofcourse, that's mainly only setting-up issues
09:39:29  <Xaroth|Work> once the libraries are installed (and the scripts fixed to remain using python), you're fine
09:39:53  <planetmaker> I see.
09:40:07  <Xaroth|Work> you can then run nmlc's script through pypy, rather than through python (so instead of /usr/local/lib/nmlc <args> you run pypy /usr/local/lib/nmlc <args> )
09:40:22  <Xaroth|Work> there's only 1 pitfall
09:40:26  <planetmaker> sounds quite annoying but can be handled
09:40:27  <Xaroth|Work> that I can see at this point
09:40:48  <Xaroth|Work> binary output differs (but same in size) between pypy and python2.7
09:41:01  <Xaroth|Work> I -think- that's due to a tuple or dict being iterated upon
09:41:03  <planetmaker> that's easy enough done by providing NML=pypy /path/to/nmlc on Makefile command line
09:41:35  <Xaroth|Work> and those aren't fixed-order (where list and ordereddict are)
09:41:56  <planetmaker> Output being different... well.... yeah, might explain it. As long as the effective grf result ingame isn't different :)
09:42:13  <Xaroth|Work> well
09:42:15  <Xaroth|Work> the md5 differs
09:42:40  <Xaroth|Work> so firs compiled with python 2.7 will yield a different hash than firs compiled with pypy
09:43:40  <planetmaker> so does FIRS when compiled with nmlc version X vs. nmlc version Y
09:45:31  <Xaroth|Work> fair enough then
09:51:48  <Xaroth|Work> if you want me to do a few more timing runs, lemme know.
09:57:10  <planetmaker> thanks :)

10:31:31  <Xaroth|Work> should work

10:31:56  <Xaroth|Work> was quite pleased with the speed increase
10:32:38  <andythenorth> I guess I should find a build of pypy :P
10:33:26  <andythenorth> hmm the python buildout can do it

10:35:00  <Xaroth|Work> 1.8 series doesn't work well with Pillow
10:40:49  <peter1138> planetmaker, I read that different versions give different output (obviously fine) but that when the difference is python 2.7 vs pypy (no nmlc version difference specified) it differs also.

10:44:42  <Xaroth|Work> peter1138: correct
10:44:56  <Xaroth|Work> pypy output != py2.7 output
10:56:17  <planetmaker> peter1138, yeah, but I'm not too concerned as indeed automatic ordering is done which can be done one way or another. Or real sprites aranged one way or another.

11:05:05  <planetmaker> you use a different compiler then effectively. So that's kinda expected, no?
11:05:30  <planetmaker> Different optimizations
11:06:02  <planetmaker> the interesting question will be whether the regression tests nml ships with - they need to work regardless

18:15:48  <Neighbour> so I just compiled a dedicated server with the daylength patch and now i can't join it ("Could not load savegame" on client)..what's wrong?
18:16:08  <Neighbour> (server on debian, client on win7 x64)
18:16:25  <Eddi|zuHause> you must use the exact same patch on both client and server
18:16:41  <Neighbour> ah, that would explain it :)
18:16:42  <Eddi|zuHause> and the location of the config file must be writable
18:16:56  <Neighbour> the client is unpatched, so that must be it
18:17:58  <Eddi|zuHause> also you violated the versioning which clearly must state that the version has modifications
18:18:17  <Neighbour> ?
18:18:41  <Alberth> you return the wrong version number to the client
18:18:50  <Neighbour> yes, but nothing in the game told me that
18:18:52  <Alberth> or it would not even attempt to connect
18:19:00  <Neighbour> nothing in the debug log of the server either (-d 9)
18:19:05  <DorpsGek> Commit by frosch :: r26161 trunk/src/newgrf_storage.h (2013-12-16 18:18:58 UTC)
18:19:06  <DorpsGek> -Fix [FS#5830] (r22567) (r25956-ish): Backup data of altered persistent storage arrays was freed twice.
18:19:16  <Eddi|zuHause> your compile is wrong
18:19:44  <Neighbour> i just followed the readme...how could that be wrong?
18:20:03  <Alberth> I doubt the readme covers custom patching :)
18:20:21  <Neighbour> btw, the configure-script should also check for the presence of pkg-config before using it
18:21:00  <Neighbour> stuff failed in the configure script, it claimed because libraries were missing, but that wasn't the case (library presence is checked using pkg-config, which was actually missing)
18:21:37  <Alberth> if you compile from within a source checkout, the build will change the program name to state you're made changes to the source
18:22:11  <Neighbour> ah, that could be the difference...i didn't compile from a source checkout, just from the downloaded source .gz

19:23:32  <Wolf01> hello o/
19:33:19  <andythenorth> lo Wolf01
19:45:52  <Xaroth|Work> andythenorth: got pypy working yet? :P
19:46:53  <andythenorth> nah
19:46:56  <andythenorth> didn't try yet
19:47:03  <andythenorth> too busy watching slow compiles
19:47:10  <andythenorth> where's that xkcd strip?
19:47:44  * Alberth is watching slow fish ships :)
19:48:07  <andythenorth> o_O
19:48:18  <andythenorth> there's a parameter for that :P
19:49:28  <Alberth> oh, it's even squid alpha 1 :)
19:49:44  <Alberth> but it's set to "ideal", cannot be better right? :)
19:49:55  <andythenorth> he he
19:50:07  <andythenorth> Alberth: at least try the latest version :(
19:50:14  <andythenorth> it will entirely break your savegame
19:50:26  <andythenorth> but what's a savegame loss between friends? :P
19:50:42  <Alberth> trying to connect firs industries, but there are too many, and too diverse cargoes :p
19:51:07  <andythenorth> Alberth: which economy?
19:51:40  <Alberth> firs economy
19:52:13  <Alberth> maybe have a simpler default?
19:53:41  <Alberth> time tabling of ships works nicely to get a regular service :)
19:54:21  <Alberth> also, you can use fishing grounds as nodes in the cdist network to distribute fish
19:54:51  <andythenorth> yes
19:54:59  <andythenorth> I am wondering about a simpler default FIRS
19:56:01  *** oskari89 [oskari89@62-241-226-106.bb.dnainternet.fi] has quit []
19:56:49  <Alberth> if you're considering playing with nuts, the PURR tracks are a bit tooo colourful
20:01:02  <andythenorth> Alberth: tried a FIRS basic economy ever? o_O
20:05:34  <Alberth> I think I did
20:06:00  <andythenorth> definitely more relaxing
20:06:18  <Alberth> the tropical one iirc
20:07:22  <andythenorth> afaict, about 24 cargos and 24 industries is the max sane amount for even a complex game
20:07:31  <andythenorth> and the basic ones are about 16 and 16
20:07:51  <Alberth> definitely, but these things just happen; it's hard to get all grfs and all parameters right for a game
20:08:23  <andythenorth> isn't it :)
20:08:44  <andythenorth> so hard for example, that I add grfs or change settings on every game I play :)
20:09:24  <andythenorth> sometimes I wonder about packaging grfs into packs
20:09:45  <andythenorth> thereby ensuring (for example) that vehicles are provided for the cargos in an industry grf
20:09:53  <Alberth> I was so happy I had added a tram grf, only to find it only carries pax :p
20:09:55  <andythenorth> and providing settings like 'harder' and 'easier'
20:10:18  <andythenorth> he he :)
20:10:33  <Alberth> thus making andy-style getting grain from farms impossible :)
20:10:42  <andythenorth> just add HEQS :P
20:10:50  <andythenorth> probably nothing goes wrong :P
20:11:05  <andythenorth> adding is usually safe
20:11:47  <Alberth> oh, either I live without it, or I start a new game :)
20:11:55  <Alberth> in this case, trucks worked too :)
20:12:36  <andythenorth> I wish I could think of a solution to this :)
20:12:40  <andythenorth> on the one hand choice is good
20:12:51  <andythenorth> on the other sane choices require knowledge and a good memory :P
20:13:22  <Alberth> you want some compose assistance
20:14:16  <Alberth> "you added non-standard cargoes, should I add foo grf as well?"

20:15:11  <Alberth> [x] use trams for industrial cargoes
20:16:00  <Alberth> [x] always use newest grf
20:16:38  <Alberth> [ ] add scenery for harbours
20:16:59  <andythenorth> something like that
20:17:13  <andythenorth> or express dependencies or something
20:17:48  <andythenorth> I wondered if new scenario format could be used as packaging
20:18:03  <Alberth> you need some "provides" or "supports" dependencies
20:19:28  <Alberth> not in its current form, as it ties the setup to that scenario then
20:20:11  <Alberth> I am not even sure it has newgrf support, but if it has, it's probably not much more than a simple list
20:20:39  <andythenorth> is it a similar problem to ports trees?
20:20:56  <Alberth> ?
20:22:02  <Alberth> I have a similar problem with save games. I have a bunch of them at the disk, and the name indicates which ones belong together, and the game date, but it's impossible to find eg the one with firs basic economy
20:22:28  <Alberth> or what they were about
20:22:44  <Alberth> I always have to load one of them before I remember
20:23:22  <Alberth> saving a thumbnail in the game would be so useful here :p
20:24:00  <andythenorth> screenshot preview?
20:24:18  <Alberth> something like that
20:24:26  <andythenorth> I found a nice quote the other day, about the illusion of big features versus removing all the small limitations
20:24:31  <andythenorth> limitations / irritations
20:24:38  <andythenorth> can't find it now, but nvm
20:24:49  <andythenorth> pinning the window size is my favourite feature this year I think :)
20:24:51  <Alberth> I can imagine it :)
20:25:18  <andythenorth> big features just add more new places to be irritated :)
20:25:54  <Alberth> sure, but on the other hand, you cannot add eg cdist by doing small steps
20:26:11  <andythenorth> indeed
20:27:01  <Alberth> it seems you need big features to open up new areas
20:27:19  <andythenorth> agreed
20:27:27  <andythenorth> I think there's somehow a diminishing return on them somewhere
20:27:28  <Alberth> but I agree polishing the user experience is also worth a lot
20:28:45  <Alberth> perhaps integrating a big features in the other game play makes it increasingly harder to add new big features?
20:29:10  <andythenorth> I think so
20:29:25  <andythenorth> that's what I've found in other places
20:29:33  <andythenorth> more dimensions to consider
20:29:37  <Alberth> if you drop a new piece of functionality in the middle, everything has to shift itself into a new place
20:29:59  <Alberth> and re-think how they relate to the new feature and each other
20:30:06  <andythenorth> unless it's totally orthogonal
20:30:25  <andythenorth> anyway, we might have a new FIRS for christmas :)
20:30:43  <Alberth> imo it hardly ever is completely orthogonal
20:31:09  <Alberth> or it somewhat means you're adding a new feature not related to all existing features :)
20:31:15  <andythenorth> agree
20:31:31  <Alberth> :o  new firs
20:31:46  <Alberth> what have you been cooking? :)
20:32:19  <andythenorth> new economy
20:32:27  <andythenorth> started in June
20:32:35  <andythenorth> had it 90% done by September
20:32:40  <andythenorth> been trying to find time to finish it :)
20:32:54  <Alberth> always a hard problem :)
20:33:29  <andythenorth> specially if you start a train set :P
20:34:16  <Alberth> I tend to extend eints in such cases :)

22:29:57  <Neighbour> is there a working daylength patch?
22:31:45  <Neighbour> because the daylength patch (01 and 02) from http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=46399&start=0 gives an assertion failure with the current build
22:32:50  <Taede> don't think there are any working with current trunk revisions
22:34:32  <Taede> are you using the binaries from that thread, or are you compiling your own?
22:34:57  <Neighbour> compiling my own, since i want to run a dedicated server and have a few friends join the game

22:36:14  *** Ristovski [~rafael@89.205.3.77] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
22:36:52  <Taede> or find a patch-pack which may be based on a more recent version (though i think a lot of them are behind a significant bit as well)
22:37:23  <Neighbour> i was looking for a way to make a single game last weeks (real time)

22:40:54  <Taede> best you can do with current trunk is to set min_clients to 1 (so the game is paused unless theres at least one player in a company), and maybe using vehicle sets that have a wider range of introduction dates
22:51:45  <Eddi|zuHause> Neighbour: i had a "hotfix" for the asserition somewhere
22:53:15  <Neighbour> Eddi|zuHause: sounds interesting...still have it? :)
22:57:32  <Eddi|zuHause> [Mittwoch, 1. Mai 2013] [20:42:32] <Eddi|zuHause>       hm, this is totally awkward, but i just put "if (_date_daylength_factor == 0) _date_daylength_factor = 1;" into "MakeNewgameSettingsLive()" now
