13:03:37  * Samu slaps ST2 around a bit with a large fishbot
13:05:32  <Samu> ST2: could I ask you another favour?
13:06:50  <Samu> ST2: could you test this https://bugs.openttd.org/task/6478 on your servers, those which use GS? Since you got a much larger audience, I'd like to know if it is stable or if it causes desyncs
13:07:34  <Samu> I expect no desyncs, but I got a limited audience
13:07:37  <ST2> we disabled autosaves on our servers
13:07:48  <Samu> yes, nice, exactly
13:09:23  <ST2> and, as I hope you understand, I'm @ work now and hardly gonna test weird stuff on our servers
13:09:48  <Samu> oh okay :|
13:11:39  <Samu> just thought it could be useful, it stores less data when sending the map to clients
13:11:56  <Samu> less bandwidth requirements
13:12:03  <ST2> we dnt have issues with it
13:12:43  <ST2> the way to make really small map file sizes is to remove trees
13:13:01  <ST2> gets 1/4 of size
13:13:26  <Samu> yeah, i noticed trees are evil
13:13:52  <Samu> savegame format lzma:6 also compresses better
13:14:02  <Samu> but requires more ram usage on the servers
13:14:19  <Samu> and slows down the upload rate

14:25:15  <supermop_> trees are effectively noise - not compressible
14:25:58  <Wolf01> then don't save the trees and regenerate them randomly each time the game is loaded
14:26:15  <supermop_> oooh
14:26:21  <supermop_> that's interesting
14:26:33  <_dp_> heightmap is also noise
14:26:41  <Wolf01> what is saved about a tree?
14:27:09  <supermop_> tile location, tree type, number of trees on tile?
14:27:25  <supermop_> i'd love to see more data per tree
14:27:48  <Wolf01> I think some informations might be discarded and just save the latter, who will notice the colour of a tree falling in the middle of the Amazon forest?
14:28:26  <supermop_> things that could give certain species preferences for certain areas
14:28:38  <supermop_> so the pines stay with pines etc
14:29:09  <Wolf01> maybe you could regenerate 80% pines above snow line and 20% others and the inverse below the snowline
14:29:22  <supermop_> also, slope or average 3x3 slope of tile the tree is on, so that trees on 'dark' sides of hills can be shaded
14:29:43  <supermop_> so that trees do not camouflage topography
14:30:59  <supermop_> but none of that matters for save - in fact
14:31:06  <Wolf01> there's the transparency/invisibility feature for that
14:31:25  <supermop_> Wolf01: that's a bad solution
14:32:16  <Wolf01> what, enabling transparency to see the terrain?
14:32:20  <supermop_> as you have the dilemma of either can't see where you or building, or can't see that you just destroyed 100 trees while messing around and no rating is destroyed
14:32:45  <supermop_> also the map looks prettier with trees, but we all just leave them off most of the time
14:33:06  <Alberth> only while building :)
14:33:24  <supermop_> i still would likely turn off while doing most building
14:33:36  <supermop_> but id like a compromise while planning
14:34:07  <supermop_> also i find once trees get dense enough, they nolonger look good
14:34:15  <Wolf01> I would like a planning layer too
14:34:25  <Wolf01> which doesn't change the map
14:34:28  <supermop_> as it becomes a flat green noise
14:34:41  <supermop_> you cant see any beautiful tree covered hills
14:35:28  <Wolf01> by the way, we are diverting from the original problem
14:36:13  <supermop_> yes
14:36:16  <supermop_> but
14:36:54  <supermop_> if what ever places the trees has more info to go on, like put oaks roughly here, pines roughly here, etc
14:37:28  <supermop_> then you can regenerate trees on each load and get pretty similar results
14:37:45  <supermop_> so it wont look as weird that the actual trees are not saved
14:38:36  <supermop_> if save game only saves 'there are trees in this area' rather than 'this tile has tree 01, this tile has tree 03...etc"
14:38:50  <Wolf01> pines (with some mixed others) in snowy areas, less trees on slopes and more trees on flat tiles
14:39:30  <supermop_> it can predictably refill that area of trees in a reasonable looking way without saving precise location and species of each tree
14:40:02  <supermop_> by following those basic rules based on height slopw, next to water etc
14:40:15  <supermop_> the only problem is
14:40:56  <supermop_> what if a player is specifically planting like a boulevard row of palm trees lining the road to their HQ
14:41:22  <supermop_> or they have like a tuscany map and want rows of specific trees along the country roads
14:41:31  <_dp_> from what I can see no one even bothered to compress trees, they are just stuffed in map array in hope that zip will magically compress them
14:41:32  <supermop_> those will be lost
14:41:38  <Wolf01> maybe we could make an exception for player planted trees, or if a player wants static trees just use grf objects
14:42:17  <Wolf01> and if you plant an entire forest, you'll end up using more savegame space
14:43:57  <supermop_> hmm
14:44:30  <supermop_> i'd prefer my 'planted' forests stay random - maybe objects are best for decorative trees
14:45:20  <supermop_> can object have a property that 'spawns' a tree of a certain type on the object, rather than just grabbing a sprite?
14:45:55  <Wolf01> also, trees die and spring continuously, so nobody will ever notice they are random
14:46:26  <_dp_> you can make "random" type of tree that can be used along with specific ones, that will a good start I think
14:47:32  <supermop_> actually the current trees are so dumb i don't know if anyone would miss their behaviour changing
14:48:11  <supermop_> also would be great if deciduous trees could lose leaves in autumn/winter
14:48:25  <_dp_> since trees from mapgen will mostly be "random" so zip can compress it nicely, and user is unlikely to plant a lot of specific trees in random patterns
14:49:56  <Wolf01> and what about map layers which could be compressed separately? it coule also help to remove a lot of things from the map array
14:50:04  <Wolf01> in fact you will have more map arrays
14:50:13  <Wolf01> with different features
14:51:14  <Wolf01> you could even have one layer to plan the construction
14:51:23  <_dp_> don't think having more layers will be of any help to reduce save size
14:52:02  <Wolf01> but a "tree distribution layer" could be handled differently from the current map array
14:53:02  <Wolf01> instead of having to save the position and details for every tile you might save... intersecting ovals with different sizes and tree type
14:54:17  <supermop_> Wolf01: that's sort of what i had in mind, just clouds of trees
14:54:34  <_dp_> Wolf01, position is not being saved currently, only data for all tiles consequently
14:55:09  <supermop_> could save center of cloud, or north corner, or even all corners, for odd shapes, and it would still be much smaller than saving every tile
14:55:18  <Wolf01> yes
14:56:27  <supermop_> "tile x,y - White Oak, dx: 10 tiles, dy: 21 tiles"
14:56:48  *** Klanticus [~quassel@177.34.163.192] has joined #openttd
14:58:13  <supermop_> or save like a closed polyline in CAD: "(x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3), ....(xn,yn) - Blue Spruce"
14:58:33  <supermop_> maybe extra bits for average age or something
14:59:18  <_dp_> I think you're overcomplicating things, if you want more tree-centered approach then repeat mapgen for initial trees and then only save player modifications
14:59:27  <supermop_> or not even save the species and let game of a tree newgrf provide rules guiding how to plant trees given that area
14:59:58  <Samu> otvi server is "about" to finish
15:01:06  <supermop_> _dp_: my aim is less about reduced save size, more about a more interesting or smart tree placement, that hopefully has the added benefit of also reducing the 'noisiness' of trees
15:03:25  <Wolf01> if we could have a save size of 6MB instead of 4MB (no trees) and 19MB (original) it will really be an improvement
15:04:22  <_dp_> supermop_, it needs some checking, but imo currently most noisiness comes from variety of trees types/state, not from their location
15:05:08  <_dp_> location seems to follow some patterns more or less, which is ok for zip
15:05:33  <Samu> i believe i used default saving, lzma:2
15:05:36  <supermop_> _dp_: but you could save that by not listing each tree's species, just have a cloud that says "trees in this area are pines"
15:06:01  <Samu> i did that test 2 months ago
15:07:11  <_dp_> supermop_, you don't need areas for that. just put that "pines" in map array instead of specific types
15:07:37  <_dp_> and for compressing groups of pines, zip will do fine
15:08:10  <Samu> it's zlib or lzma or lzo, there's no zip
15:10:06  <Alkel_U3> supermop_: hi. Concerning the server version - are you on windows?
15:12:30  <supermop_> yeah, generally
15:12:36  <supermop_> at the moment i am at work
15:12:51  <Alkel_U3> ah ok
15:12:57  <_dp_> like, generally speaking working with areas may be better, it's just a lot more complex approach and I don't believe anyone will ever do it)
15:13:00  <supermop_> but both work and home computers teen to be 64 but win 7
15:14:15  <Alkel_U3> hm, that's a bit more difficult environment for patching from git and compiling the source
15:14:37  <Alkel_U3> I'll try if the server is ok with changing the version midgame
15:14:55  <_dp_> while introducing a few special values for random types is pretty minor change

15:17:08  <supermop_> Alkel_U3: i can wait for the next round
15:17:32  <Alkel_U3> supermop_: it has daylength 5 - it will be a long, long wait :D
15:18:44  <Alkel_U3> although I regret not making the map bigger - this setting could see the 1024^2 size as still cozy
15:21:01  <Alkel_U3> and it's much easier to make money - I'm considering a third instance :-)
15:22:21  <supermop_> 1024 is fine on my work computer, but to be honest my laptop at home struggles with anything bigger than that
15:23:20  <Alkel_U3> I chose smaler map for gameplay-wise reasons. The server should handle bigger maps fine
15:24:44  <supermop_> Alkel_U3: your server might, but my client can't
15:25:33  <Alkel_U3> supermop_: what's inside your laptop? I could understand if it was an atom or a lower-end Core 2...
15:25:50  <supermop_> 6 years of junk i guess
15:26:11  <supermop_> it's been overheating easily a lot recently too
15:26:41  <supermop_> and ram gets maxed out on any large ottd map, especially if chrome is also running
15:26:47  <Samu> disable full animation
15:26:59  <Samu> use 8bpp blitter
15:26:59  <supermop_> Samu: i do
15:27:09  <Samu> they're the biggest cpu offenders for me
15:27:33  <supermop_> cpu is ok, except for when it overheats
15:27:52  <Alkel_U3> a friend of mine has a dell work laptop with hawell i7 and a radeon graphics - if left unchecked while playing something demanding, it's guaranteed to turn off soon :D

15:28:00  <supermop_> its a circa 2010 i7, don't remember any specs off the top of my head
15:28:12  <Alkel_U3> (happened even during factorio MP)
15:28:19  <supermop_> yeah
15:28:27  <Samu> sec, let me check
15:28:38  <supermop_> i forget what gpu i have as well
15:28:57  <supermop_> it was certainly a nice vaio in 2010
15:29:18  <Samu> openttd.exe -b 8bpp-optimized
15:29:31  <Samu> i used this on my Athlon XP 2700+
15:29:39  <supermop_> also the ssd on it is almost entirely full
15:29:59  <Samu> then turned off full animation, it became much better
15:30:18  <Samu> while in the game, don't zoom out too much
15:30:32  <Samu> forbit it from zooming out , think there's a setting there
15:31:22  <supermop_> and haven't made the time to sit down and clear it out
15:31:54  <supermop_> i feel like its so old i don't want to sink a lot of time on it though, would be better to just buy a new computer
15:31:59  <Samu> but if the server you join doesn't pause on join, then catching up will still be problematic
15:32:35  <supermop_> seeing as i need to do rhino work for freelance occasionally, and rendering is really tough on that old machine
15:33:16  <supermop_> but i've been just about broke for most of the last 3 years as something keeps coming up to spend all my disposable money on
15:35:33  <_dp_> is there any tool to check savegame parts size?
15:35:54  <_dp_> or at least something to work with savegames
15:36:17  <Alkel_U3> well I got a GTX 560Ti from a friend. My budget would constrain me from gettin something half-decent. The rest is pretty budget :-)
15:37:49  <supermop_> like moving to australia, then moving back from australia etc
15:39:07  <Alkel_U3> except the PSU - I retained that as a leftower from an attemt to get money mining litecoin. So now I have a PC which could be well content with a 400W PSU being powered by a 1,2kW 80 Platinum plus monster :D

19:44:08  <andythenorth> so eh, I need to associate some list elements with preceeding elements in the list.  I could use (1) indexes (where sometimes it’s non-trivial to figure out what the index value should be) or (2) arbitrary labels to connect the list elements (provider / consumer)
19:44:12  <Alkel_U3> RVs will be awesome, too. I'm kinda getting bored with eGRVTS. Ships of SQUID are still pretty new and good to me, though :-)
19:44:21  <andythenorth> Squid is terrible
19:44:27  <andythenorth> but eh
19:44:46  <andythenorth> it will do for now
19:44:48  <Alkel_U3> better than base :P

19:45:41  <Alkel_U3> Newships is great, except for the part where all vehicles become obsolete and you can't buy ships anymore

20:51:13  <Alkel_U3> that's fine, I'm just curious
20:52:13  <Samu> in essence, it is doing already what it does when a client saves the game on a server with scripts running
20:52:19  <Samu> it saves them empty
20:52:47  <Samu> i just made it save in this manner as well for clients joining servers

21:21:45  <_dp_> just removing counter for tree tiles reduced my save size by 10%
21:24:51  <Wolf01> new trucks for andy, too bad he's already on the bed http://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/aL9R2Qv_460sv.mp4
21:24:57  <_dp_> and it's only used to count 15 ticks for each tree stage, pretty sure it can be replaced with some random tile selection like it's already done for tileloop
21:26:21  <_dp_> only issue I see is that freshly planted trees won't get their first growth exactly 15 ticks after planting
21:26:34  <_dp_> not a huge loss imo
21:26:37  <supermop> Wolf01: nice open cockpit on top of the cab there, looks comfortable for long haul drives
21:26:53  <Wolf01> specially with the bad weather
21:26:55  <Wolf01> :D
21:27:49  <supermop> _dp_: it's probably more 'realistic' if trees grow in a somewhat inexact rate
21:29:54  <_dp_> supermop, not sure how's that realistic but that's a nice solution too
21:30:03  <Samu> desyncing trees!
21:30:47  <Samu> can you try my patch _dp_?
21:31:29  <Samu> I beg for some dev to try my patch, :o
21:34:53  <_dp_> supermop, yeah, just tried Chance16(1, 15) instead of counter, don't see any major difference visually
21:35:38  <_dp_> supermop, except that planted trees grow at somewhat different speed which is expected
21:38:59  <Samu> speaking of trees
21:39:21  <Samu> i got a bunch of saves, testing the different compression levels and formats
21:39:50  <Samu> the "improved" tree_placer
21:40:02  <Samu> is the worst for all formats/levels
21:41:15  <Samu> lzma:9 is actually useful for the worst case scenario
21:41:20  <_dp_> oh, I didt'n use same seed for that test, it'l less than 10%, 100k of 1400
21:42:11  <Samu> I did use the same seed, then i used the same savegame to generate the other saves with different compressions

21:42:35  <_dp_> interestingly setting counter to SetTreeCounter(tile, tile & 15) takes not that much more, but is pretty ok visually
21:43:04  <_dp_> some pattern still visible on fast forward but though
21:43:47  <Samu> sec, gonna log all my results into a nice .txt
21:46:58  <_dp_> (uint64)(tile * 19) & 15 is much better, almost no difference
21:47:26  <_dp_> and can be used with unpatched clients
22:00:55  <Eddi|zuHause> just look up a hash function?

22:05:00  <_dp_> multiplying by number that is relatively prime with modulo
22:05:13  <_dp_> looks ok so don't see any reason to use smth more complex
22:06:01  <_dp_> besides, it it gets too good it won't compress well ;)

22:07:44  <Eddi|zuHause> it's basically a variation of this problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6Rp-uo6HmI only for lossless compression.
22:08:42  <_dp_> well, I've already shaved off 10% of save size with this

22:18:25  <_dp_> Eddi|zuHause, yeah, that's why I'm eliminating randomness
22:19:27  <_dp_> doesn't have to be random to look random
22:20:26  <Wolf01> the function approach could be a good one, you define say 50 functions and pick some of them at map generation and place them in some tiles, then the functions will generate trees, maybe based on the year
