08:45:47  <Leanden> o/
08:45:51  <Leanden> Wonder if someone can help me
08:46:19  <Leanden> I have coded my HST trains but found that some pixels are animated
08:46:38  <Leanden> i repalletized to the noaction pallet and palletized back to ttd dos
08:46:45  <Leanden> but the animated pixels are still animated -.-
08:47:04  <Leanden> what is the best way to replace these without painstakingly redrawing every pixel?
08:47:20  <Leanden> or is there a way to disable animation on newgrf trains?
08:55:36  <planetmaker> you cannot disable palette animation; you simply need to use the correct colours
08:56:03  <planetmaker> (except you can disable it for the whole game. But that's a client-side action, nothing you as NewGRF author will be able to aks players to do in any way
08:56:24  <planetmaker> With a proper graphics programme you colour select the wrong colour and replace it globally by the right one
08:58:54  <V453000> I believe you should be able to download no-anim palette from the devzone for your pixel editor
08:58:58  <V453000> and re-save images with that
08:59:27  *** zeknurn` [~sup@hd9483bd7.seveveb.dyn.perspektivbredband.net] has joined #openttd
09:00:48  <Leanden> i tried that V45
09:01:04  <Leanden> but when i try to run nmlc it says its an incomplete pallet (only 208 colours)
09:01:09  <V453000> :d
09:01:13  <V453000> which one are you using?
09:01:29  <Leanden> image editor or pallet?

09:01:56  *** zeknurn` is now known as zeknurn
09:02:02  <Leanden> GIMP and my default is openttd-dos
09:02:24  <Leanden> but the im using ttd-noaction to remove the animation pixels
09:03:34  <V453000> hm
09:03:44  <V453000> I don't use gimp so I can't check if the pallete there works fine
09:03:55  <V453000> cause when I tried with photoshop, there was some weird stuff happening too
09:03:56  <Leanden> It hasnt been an issue until now
09:03:59  <V453000> like, it still animated
09:04:00  <V453000> or something
09:04:03  <Leanden> oh
09:04:16  <Leanden> so what graphics program do you use then?
09:04:20  <V453000> `ps
09:05:51  <Leanden> but you said you get glitches?
09:06:16  <V453000> I might have done something wrong, or the PS palette on devzone is borked
09:06:19  <V453000> I only tried once
09:06:25  <Leanden> Odd thing is i even took a pixel drop of a non-animated pixel and then pasted over the animated ones
09:06:26  <V453000> generally I use the one with action colours
09:06:31  <V453000> heh
09:06:34  <Leanden> but once i ran the pallet it was animated again!!!
09:06:41  <V453000> hm
09:06:49  <V453000> weird
09:06:57  <Leanden> hmmm hold on
09:07:05  <Leanden> i think the noaction palette is Win
09:07:12  <Leanden> but the rest of my palette is DOS
09:07:22  <Leanden> are the reds in the win pallet action colours in the DOS?
09:07:23  <V453000> I think you should always use DOS but I am not sure at all
09:07:35  <Leanden> well there isnt a DOS noaction pallet ;)
09:07:39  <V453000> what
09:08:01  <V453000> meh devzone borkd
09:08:38  <Leanden> ah there is one for photoshop
09:08:41  <Leanden> but not for GIMP
09:11:07  <Leanden> ahhh i think i solved it!

09:15:24  <Leanden> -.- it didnt work
09:15:38  <Leanden> im literally lost as to why these animated pixels wont go away
09:16:16  <Leanden> and its just that one red colour!!

09:23:51  <Alberth> it's not the colour that's used, it's the palette index
09:31:17  <Alberth> so you need to replace it with a pixel with a different palette index
09:32:07  <Alberth> (unless nml is more smart than I think it is)
09:33:43  <Leanden> ahh i see
09:34:01  <Leanden> any quick way to do that in GIMP? :P
09:36:36  * andythenorth catching up
09:36:48  <andythenorth> Leanden definitely use the DOS palette everywhere
09:37:20  <andythenorth> there are various palettes floating around for download
09:37:26  <andythenorth> ttd-dos.act is the filename of the one I use
09:37:41  <TrueBrain> As a general FYI: I moved stuff around in openttd.org, and email are now sent from another VM. Please let me know if you no longer receive an email you used to be able, etc
09:38:19  <andythenorth> in photoshop this palette is applied to the document, in indexed colour mode *or* applied on export to an RGB document
09:38:53  <andythenorth> but to remove the red pixel, you need to find replace with a different red
09:39:19  <andythenorth> there are a number of very similar reds, some animated, some not
 this is a common problem in sprites people send to me

09:46:08  <Alberth> ok :)
09:46:09  <TrueBrain> it is slowly growing :)
09:46:48  <TrueBrain> hmm, I do not store how many request are via SSL
09:46:53  <TrueBrain> that would be a nice thing to know
09:47:08  <andythenorth> hmm
09:47:22  * andythenorth thought newgrf trains had a curve speed penalty option
09:47:33  <TrueBrain> be careful with that
09:47:35  <TrueBrain> thinking
09:47:37  <TrueBrain> *shivers*
09:47:46  <Alberth> :)
09:48:14  <andythenorth> hmm, it’s in the railtype
09:48:21  <andythenorth> makes sense I guess :P
09:48:39  <Alberth> for some value of guess, sure :p
09:49:15  <andythenorth> I think newgrf spec is telling me that this train roster does not have good gameplay
09:49:28  <Alberth> :(
09:49:32  <andythenorth> looking for arcane bits of spec is usually a sign of that
09:49:36  <andythenorth> it’s ok :)
09:49:47  <andythenorth> “we have the technology, we can rebuild him"
09:49:59  <Alberth> phew :)
09:50:02  <TrueBrain> whoho, logging SSL and cipher used :D
09:50:27  <Alberth> /me just changed the ssh key to rsa

09:50:46  <DorpsGek> andythenorth: supermop was last seen in #openttd 1 day, 19 hours, 30 minutes, and 39 seconds ago: <supermop> but i do have a shogi-ban, because my first goban came with one on the back, and a set of plastic shogi pieces
09:50:48  <TrueBrain> bingbot connects via https :)
09:51:01  <Alberth> lol
09:51:15  <Alberth> although some sites may not be connectable otherwise
09:51:35  <TrueBrain> eyeballing this, it seems 50/50 (http vs https)
09:51:48  <TrueBrain> eyeballing this, 99% is TLSv1.2 :)
09:52:41  <andythenorth> I envy the days when I didn’t know what TrueBrain was talking about
09:52:48  <TrueBrain> hahaha :D
09:52:52  <andythenorth> life was simpler then
09:53:07  <TrueBrain> mainly I have been wondering what happens if I enforce SSL :P
09:54:37  <andythenorth> you bounce some clients that can only use flawed versions of TLS?
09:54:42  * andythenorth says words
09:54:56  <Alberth> /me understands some of the words
09:55:17  <andythenorth> or even clients that predate TLS?

09:55:30  <andythenorth> pre-date not predate :P
09:56:06  <TrueBrain> yeah ... our own client connect via http :D
09:56:40  <andythenorth> but but but
09:56:48  <andythenorth> that means someone could MITM my savegame :P
09:57:23  <TrueBrain> savegame? :)
09:57:51  <TrueBrain> its a bit silly .. we have HSTS enabled, which means that once you visited the website via https, your browser will do its best to always reuse https for the domain
09:57:52  <TrueBrain> which is lovely
09:57:58  <TrueBrain> but when you just arrive at the site via http
09:58:01  <TrueBrain> you might never see this
09:58:16  <TrueBrain> there is a 'preload' list, but that has as requirement that you always redirect http users to https
09:58:29  <TrueBrain> but that is not really what I want .. I just want people to be directed to https if they are capable
10:01:22  * andythenorth lunch

10:01:59  <TrueBrain> on the plus-side, google reports all our links as https :)
10:04:01  <Samu> hi
10:06:39  <Samu> i believe I "fixed" yesterday's issue, Alberth - https://paste.openttdcoop.org/p6oqrm63s
10:06:54  <Samu> it's not a direct fix per se
10:07:19  <Samu> line 21 is added
10:07:52  <Samu> line 20 breaks it
10:07:59  <Samu> line 21 breaks it again to "fix" it
10:08:13  <Samu> 2 wrongs make a right in this case, not the optimal way to fix it, but it works
10:11:18  <Alberth> yeah, it looks quite weird at least
10:15:37  <Samu> i wish i could do better
10:45:22  <Samu> there is no way to select none for AIs, right?
10:47:00  <Samu> my fix will work, for as long as it continues to be no way to select a "none" AI
10:47:25  <Alberth> reduce number of competitors to 0
10:48:30  <Samu> you're not really selecting a "none" AI that way

10:53:47  <TrueBrain> so many threads these days asking for help/info/features for Android/iOS ports
10:54:04  <TrueBrain> are they really that popular? Always assumed it would be unbearable to play (because the lack of a mouse)
10:58:35  <Alberth> maybe the port added a lot of usability features
10:59:41  <Alberth> at least I know he modified to main toolbar as it didn't fit on the screen
11:01:44  <Wolf01> having OTTD on windows mobile working with continuum would be a nice feature
11:03:20  <Leanden> andythenorth: is there a way i can get GIMP just to replace that particular red, or if you know a quick way could i send you the sprites to change it for me ;D

11:12:39  <Wolf01> quak
11:12:59  <frosch123> hoi
11:13:46  <V453000> hm, I am thinking about completely changing BRIX visual style XD
11:14:33  <Alberth> hi hi
11:14:57  <Alberth> everything upside down? :)
11:15:02  <V453000> kind of
11:15:13  <V453000> thing is, the texture-less thing is nice and clean
11:15:18  <V453000> but eyes hurt from it
11:15:44  <V453000> & integrating things to make them look nice is almost impossible because there is no comfy noise to get lost in
11:16:11  <Alberth> adding noise seems the answer :)
11:16:20  <V453000> well just random noise won't work
11:16:29  <V453000> means it needs some texture and some detail
11:16:36  <V453000> which kind of completely changes the concept
11:16:54  <Alberth> quite
11:19:02  <V453000> also, I think I have kind of a strong colour concept
11:19:07  <V453000> but not general style
11:19:24  <V453000> as in, I made a rule for myself that important stuff has colour, non gameplay important stuff is desaturated
11:19:32  <V453000> but it doesn't actually answer the style of things
11:19:35  <V453000> which causes issue
11:19:36  <V453000> e
11:19:37  <V453000> s
11:20:07  <V453000> right now my brain is in space scifi mode
11:21:00  <V453000> will consider how much can I do without actually reworking the 3D models

13:23:53  <argoneus> heyo
13:23:54  <m4110c> Just started playing Ottd a few days ago
13:24:00  <m4110c> really addictive
13:24:06  <m4110c> "just connect one more city"
13:24:26  <m4110c> "uh, I quickly need to improve services for Wrintbourne"

 how do I enable autorenew of vehicles?
13:25:00  <m4110c> Wiki says, there’s a preference
13:25:13  <m4110c> but for me, the list of prefs in that window is a _lot_ shorter

13:32:28  <m4110c> can I prevent that cities build streets automatically over railway tracks?
13:32:36  <frosch123> yes
13:32:39  <frosch123> same gui
13:32:49  <frosch123> use the "suchtext" entry at the top, if in doubt :)
13:33:18  <Samu> it's an all or nothing :(
13:33:36  <Samu> that's something I've had in mind about that
13:33:53  <Samu> avoid towns building road on rails
13:33:59  <Samu> but still allow towns building roads
13:34:08  <Samu> my english today ...
13:38:11  <Samu> what do u think about autoclean for AIs?
13:38:29  <Samu> an AI died... autoclean it
13:38:36  <Samu> and another takes place
13:39:01  <Samu> i guess i better leave it for now
13:58:32  <Samu> just found out dead scripts don't save data, it saves empty
13:59:01  <Samu> which is good news for what I'm doing

14:41:05  <Samu> if I configure a GS in main menu then enter Scenario Editor, the GS does not start
14:41:20  <Samu> if I save the scenario, then load it back, the GS becomes active
14:41:43  <Samu> I am 95% sure this is a bug
14:42:55  <Samu> tested with a broken BusyBee to make it crash, just to make sure
14:43:12  <Samu> it crashed while in scenario editor which means it was active

15:53:55  <Samu> when saving the scenario for the first time, the script doesn't have any save data
15:54:10  <Samu> loading it, starts the script
15:54:40  <Samu> saving the scenario afterwards will save the script data into the file...
15:55:15  <Samu> loading it again, we have the script also loading this saved data, assuming it didn't crash

17:21:55  <Samu> if i load a save game, not a scenario, in the scenario editor, the save contains data for the ais and scripts

17:23:17  <Samu> gs/ais

18:17:58  <_dp_> why not?
18:18:08  <_dp_> also it look broken right now, not disabled
18:18:31  <Alberth> random guess, it came enabled out of the box :)
18:19:32  <Alberth> but sure, people post feature requests in the tracker, why not vote?
18:20:34  <_dp_> I often see +1 spam in trackers that don't have voting
18:21:30  <planetmaker> hm, true. But it makes more sense to actually have it, when it is being used to create a priority list when you have limited ressources
18:22:22  <Alberth> I don't think solving technical problems and democratic votes work well together
18:22:44  * andythenorth reads log
18:23:17  <andythenorth> votes are fine when there’s a decision to be made
18:23:22  <andythenorth> there’s no decision here :)
18:23:47  <_dp_> it gives devs good idea of what people want more, ofc it shouldn't mean that most upvoted stuff get implemented no matter what
18:24:26  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but for that there needs to be a consistent level of dev-work to be done regularly
18:24:31  <andythenorth> devs have almost zero interest in what people want more of :)
18:24:58  <andythenorth> I’m not speaking for every contribute mind
18:25:04  <andythenorth> contributor *
18:25:42  <andythenorth> but I think in broad terms, there is tiny or no interest in fixing bugs now
18:25:53  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm sure voting shines in professional environments, but for a hobby-environment?
18:26:14  *** Wormnest [~Wormnest@s5596abd2.adsl.online.nl] has joined #openttd
18:26:45  <andythenorth> or any environment without active development?
18:27:38  <Eddi|zuHause> in a hobby environment, even during more active times, devs value their own interest way more than other people's interest.
18:28:33  <Eddi|zuHause> and then there's questioning the value of the voting data. you end up with most bugs getting 1 vote from the reporter, or maybe not. and almost never more than 1
18:28:55  <Eddi|zuHause> which means there's a lot of random noise
18:29:02  <Eddi|zuHause> and not much actual content to read out
18:30:15  <Rubidium> if you would handle bugs with higher vote count first, then OpenTTD would quickly become an unplayable heap of "features"
18:30:28  <Rubidium> s/bugs/issues/
18:31:47  * andythenorth wonders when the last bug was closed
18:31:52  * andythenorth looks for self :P
18:32:06  <Rubidium> a few days ago
18:32:11  <andythenorth> oh 3 days ago :)
18:32:28  <andythenorth> so actually we do have quite active development
18:32:36  <Samu> think my last bug report is questionable
18:33:15  <andythenorth> 12 fixes in 2016 so far
18:33:39  <andythenorth> and one feature
18:34:12  <Samu> maybe it's fine for the script to be active, however it's dormant, idling or so
18:35:34  <Samu> I can't figure out if the GS is actually doing anything
18:37:15  <Samu> seems that the script save data must be passed from save to save, even when saving from scenario editor
18:41:24  * andythenorth does play OpenTTD
18:45:35  <Samu> looks like it's not a bug after all
18:47:10  <Samu> both ais and gss are loadable in the scenario editor, but.. i guess it's for a reason it does that
18:47:47  <Samu> i just can't figure if they're actively doing anything. their instance is initiated though
18:47:53  <Alberth> you want a ai/gs to be part of the scenario, and after all, it's just a savegame
18:48:29  <Alberth> yeah, that's the puzzle, should an ai/gs be active in the editor; My first guess is no
18:49:45  <Samu> the only reason i can find to maintain the instance initiated is to keep saving their data
18:52:20  <Samu> accessing AI/Game Script settings from the scenario editor under this cirmumstances becomes complicated...
18:53:04  <Samu> they are there, with their instances being kept alive, but apparently dormant, how will i reflect the correct information in that window?
19:02:03  <Samu> okay, seems like the issue is only related to GS's
19:03:10  <Samu> more specifically, during the saving of a scenario when the GS script is chosen but not even started
19:03:36  <Samu> hard to explain
19:05:14  <Samu> https://bugs.openttd.org/task/6464 - on step 2, this saving must be lacking some info about the GS
19:06:12  <Samu> when saving, if it was currently active or not
19:06:32  <Samu> it is assumed that GS's are always actively running when doing a save
19:06:42  <Samu> guess that's the piece of information that is lacking

19:44:58  <andythenorth> so the patch for windowshade on rail station selection, was the conclusion that station UI needs redesigned from scratch? o_O
19:48:33  <Alberth> I'd first try shuffling the components of the window a bit
