02:05:25  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: is lack of motivation to draw one of the features of CETS?
02:06:40  <Eddi|zuHause> well i never really had the intention to draw anything. oberhümer drew a few of the prussian engines, but that also dissipated...
02:12:34  <supermop> always sounded like the scope was very large for that set
02:16:52  <supermop> im stalling because i don't want to make a new 9/8 template
02:42:12  <Eddi|zuHause> well, i dabbled a bit in autogenerating/composing some graphics, but i ended being distracted/unmotivated to do really anything at all
02:42:46  <Eddi|zuHause> for reason i'm not really willing to go into here
02:46:02  *** Lejving has joined #openttd
02:46:18  <supermop> so thoroughly indoctrinated here - giving notice to quit my job, and i am almost beside myself with regret and guilty feelings
02:47:06  <supermop> even though i find my employer incompetent and frustrating, and continued employment with him to be a professional liability
02:48:20  <supermop> all this shame for breaking a capitalist's heart, and i think of myself and pretty far left
02:48:38  <supermop> but that's american (and new york) work culture for you
02:51:11  *** Lejving__ has quit IRC
02:51:33  <Eddi|zuHause> well my new boss wanted to impose some strict working hours, or else... and i said "then i choose else"
02:52:28  <Eddi|zuHause> so now i'm on some kind of irregular consulting contract with him, instead of full-time
02:54:16  <supermop> i am full time with this guy, but because he is so disorganized
02:54:33  <supermop> it is hourly and irregular,
02:55:08  <supermop> i generally work 40-45 hours a week, nice that its hourly, but the junior employees will get called off all the time when money is short
02:55:16  <supermop> and not work for a week or two
02:55:47  <supermop> no contract, benefits or health insurance for any of us, so i am lucky i have it through my wife
02:56:11  <supermop> the us system for insurance through job is absurd
02:56:28  <supermop> even if you get good insurance, you are then bound to that employer
02:57:10  <glx> and the medical costs are insane too
02:57:24  <supermop> new job i am taking pay is actually slightly less, but i will have a real contract, and the company has a real staff of other people with steady jobs
02:57:40  <supermop> instead of some weeks only me
02:59:12  <Eddi|zuHause> i've seen these numbers... for european countries you have (per capita) x amount of "private" money and y amount of "tax" money, where x is vastly smaller number, then for america you have y amount of "private" money and y amount of "tax" money.
02:59:25  <Eddi|zuHause> so not only does your system not save any tax money
02:59:41  <Eddi|zuHause> it costs almost double
02:59:55  <Eddi|zuHause> without being any better overall
03:00:26  <glx> everything cost more in their system
03:00:39  <glx> university is almost free in france
03:01:17  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah same here
03:01:47  *** ToffeeYogurtPots has quit IRC
03:02:07  <Eddi|zuHause> and they even give you money if your parents are poor
03:02:19  *** ToffeeYogurtPots has joined #openttd
03:02:32  <Eddi|zuHause> (or have lots of kids)
03:03:59  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: we are stuck with a system that seemed to look kind of good in like the late 40s and then fell apart
03:04:51  <Eddi|zuHause> on the "bright" side, they're slowly taking the system apart bit by bit here...
03:05:45  <Eddi|zuHause> because "everything is better in america" and "free market" and "small government" and whatever
03:06:10  <supermop> there are a few things better in america:
03:06:12  <glx> same here
03:06:25  <glx> EU is broken
03:06:33  <supermop> ribs
03:06:50  <supermop> maybe that's it?
03:07:02  <glx> instead unifying it creates competition between countries
03:07:09  <supermop> we have good barbecue ribs
03:07:50  <supermop> we have some good music - because our system is so broken it motivates people to make good music
03:08:00  <supermop> so we've got ribs and music
03:08:25  <Eddi|zuHause> is your music "good", or just "average enough to reach large audiences"?
03:09:30  <supermop> Eddi|zuHause: depends, but i'd say that blues, jazz, hip hop, r&b, funk and rock are all significant contributions to world culture
03:09:53  <supermop> but all were catalyzed by shitty conditions here
03:10:06  <supermop> punk i will give to UK and jamaica
03:11:25  <supermop> oysters
03:11:52  <supermop> montauk oysters i do find better
03:12:07  <supermop> so i go 3 things that are better in america so far
03:21:32  <Eddi|zuHause> so, a) i have no interest in oysters, and b) i see that all "your" "good" music is actually by people you forcefully imported and exploited.
03:22:53  <glx> and I'm off, good night
03:23:02  *** glx has quit IRC
03:23:33  <Eddi|zuHause> i don't see how "look, slavery wasn't all bad, we got good music out of it" is ever a good sentence to say

16:07:05  <andythenorth> @seen frosch123
16:07:05  <DorpsGek> andythenorth: frosch123 was last seen in #openttd 20 hours, 20 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <frosch123> i have not touched windows for 10 years, i have no idea why people use it for development at all
16:09:12  <Pikka> o/
16:10:05  <andythenorth> 2 pikkas in a row
16:10:07  <andythenorth> how rare
16:10:13  <andythenorth> what's up Pikka? :)
16:11:18  *** TheMask96 has joined #openttd
16:13:05  *** chomwitt has joined #openttd
16:13:10  <Pikka> right now, intermodal container cars: "realistic" or just boring?
16:13:24  <andythenorth> :o
16:13:29  <andythenorth> that's rather coincidental
16:13:37  <andythenorth> I am working on same thing in UKRS 3
16:13:50  <andythenorth> literally have the buy menu open for them :P
16:14:05  <Pikka> ukrs 3 \o/
16:14:06  <andythenorth> UKRS 3 = Iron Horse 2 :P
16:14:38  <andythenorth> what was the question? o_O
16:15:53  <Pikka> deciding whether to include them at all in notUKRS 3...
16:16:40  <andythenorth> I am doing them in Horse 2
16:16:52  <andythenorth> but they're identical to box cars, except graphics
16:16:57  <andythenorth> same capacity, speed, refit
16:17:08  <andythenorth> horse is mostly about 'pick sprites you like'
16:17:13  <Pikka> hmmm... yes
16:17:35  <Pikka> well that's what I'm thinking... but in that case, why include them unless they're graphically interesting, which theyr're not? :P
16:18:17  <Pikka> I suppose some people might like container trains.
16:19:09  <andythenorth> I like the change between empty / full
16:19:15  <andythenorth> and I can randomise the container colours
16:19:22  <Pikka> true
16:19:43  <andythenorth> I don't bother with any justification for wagon types except 'looks nice' and 'looks different to other types'
16:19:54  <andythenorth> engines....have to fit a role
16:20:11  <Pikka> yes... speaking of which
16:20:35  <Pikka> was no MUs except "metro" in IH a design choice?
16:20:46  <andythenorth> well
16:20:59  <andythenorth> http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/iron-horse/push/LATEST/docs/html/trains.html
16:21:18  <andythenorth> for normal trains, I prefer making trains of single unit railcars,
16:21:31  *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
16:21:46  <andythenorth> but I have added some fast electric things, 2-unit 16/8
16:22:01  <andythenorth> they will have BAD FEATURES to make power cars and coaches when combined
16:22:09  <Pikka> huh
16:22:17  <Pikka> FAD BEACHES
16:22:43  <andythenorth> FAD BEACHES are compulsory
16:23:22  <andythenorth> hmm web page reveals how much I have to draw :P
16:23:25  <andythenorth> hide web page pls
16:23:46  <Pikka> yes
16:24:03  <Pikka> I'm reviving the 10CC concept... 10 locos per set = less to draw.
16:24:13  <andythenorth> yay
16:24:17  <Pikka> but doing them in double zoom = more to draw
16:24:20  <andythenorth> pixels?
16:24:23  <andythenorth> or rendered?
16:24:24  <Pikka> yes
16:24:24  <andythenorth> or both?
16:24:33  <Pikka> 2xez 32bpp hand drawn
16:24:37  <andythenorth> yay
16:25:04  <andythenorth> supporting 1860-2050 is dozy, but I am doing it anyway :P
16:25:11  <andythenorth> so much trains
16:25:14  <Pikka> yep
16:25:22  <Pikka> 10 locos, 1900 - 2000.
16:25:44  <andythenorth> I await with interest :)
16:25:52  <andythenorth> I am not EZ-ing FIRS though :P
16:26:24  <Pikka> oh why not? :P
16:27:21  <andythenorth> almost certainly don't have enough life left :P
16:27:29  <andythenorth> FIRS is nearly 10 years old
16:30:09  <Sacro> Pikka: new ukrs3?
16:31:30  <Pikka> UKRS 0.3... minimise expectations ;)
16:31:53  <andythenorth> so no intermodal? o_O
16:32:01  <andythenorth> and is intermodal also trucks-on-flatcar?
16:32:03  <andythenorth> :P
16:32:07  <Alberth> o/
16:32:11  <Pikka> I suppose yes intermodal... container wagons
16:33:12  <Pikka> even pineapple trains had container wagons, and it was super-TT-style.
16:39:27  <andythenorth> I should make a pineapple train
16:39:36  <Pikka> out of real pineapple?

17:51:22  <andythenorth> frosch123: so...NotStations? o_O
17:51:34  <andythenorth> I was considering trying to add nml support for stations
17:51:44  <andythenorth> but then I remembered...stations make no sense
17:53:18  <Wolf01> Yeah, a single interface like newobjects to build non-track station tiles
17:54:02  <andythenorth> with access to a list of cargos waiting at the station
17:54:27  <andythenorth> and a conventional action 3, action 2 chain, not whatever it is that stations do
17:54:31  <andythenorth> which I still don't understand
17:56:10  <andythenorth> oh it's prop 0F that I don't understand
17:56:16  <andythenorth> https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action0/Stations#Copy_custom_layout_.280F.29
17:56:43  <andythenorth> and prop 0A

17:59:15  <Pikka> debluncked station spec? :)
18:02:34  <andythenorth> something

18:15:43  *** RafiX has quit IRC
18:15:58  *** RafiX has joined #openttd
18:16:11  <peter1138> stations must've made sense, i mostly made them work...

18:21:28  *** synchris has joined #openttd
18:22:59  <andythenorth> they work, they're just weird :P
18:27:36  <Wolf01> So andythenorth, did you decide what to do after NRT? I did: continue to extend NRT
18:27:50  <andythenorth> ha
18:28:07  <andythenorth> what did you add? o_O
18:28:08  <supermop_work> custom foundations for railtypes
18:28:25  <andythenorth> I have 3 unreleasable vehicle grfs
18:28:32  <andythenorth> so eh, plenty to do :P
18:30:14  <Wolf01> Eh, feature flags until I run off of space, finish the implementation, help frosch (or get frosch help) to turn NRT into BGT
18:31:34  <andythenorth> BGT is interesting
18:31:41  <Wolf01> A lot
18:31:46  <andythenorth> I wonder if we do it, we might find out it wasn't needed
18:31:53  <andythenorth> and the UI problem is...hard :)
18:32:03  <andythenorth> but eh
18:32:14  <andythenorth> how else do we learn anything? o_O
18:34:01  *** Wacko1976 has quit IRC
18:36:19  <supermop_work> i think its probably not needed, but i also feel newobjects are not needed
18:37:00  <andythenorth> and yet if they weren't there...
18:37:04  <andythenorth> we'd need them
18:37:38  <Wolf01> I need newobjects
18:37:49  <Wolf01> I don't use them, but when I don't have them I need them
18:38:01  <andythenorth> they'd distort the station spec otherwise
18:38:11  <andythenorth> we'd have feature requests for stations that were nothing to do with stations
18:38:12  <andythenorth> so eh
18:38:24  <andythenorth> I never use NewObjects though myself
18:38:26  <andythenorth> :P
18:38:47  <andythenorth> ok engine 'types' in Horse, e.g. 'Freight, Heavy Freight, Express' etc
18:39:03  <andythenorth> 'type', 'class', 'role', or 'group' ?
18:40:15  <Pikka> role, I guess...
18:40:18  <andythenorth> good

18:53:04  <andythenorth> what 'role' are narrow gauge engines? o_O
18:53:10  * andythenorth hasn't thought about that, oops
18:54:26  <andythenorth> uncontroversial: branch, freight, heavy freight, express pax, railcar
18:55:08  <andythenorth> harder to figure out: electric engine (fast, high HP, but low TE); TGV-ish electric unit;  narrow gauge engine
18:55:36  <andythenorth> I need to define the role to automate vehicle expiry :P
19:06:36  * andythenorth hedges
19:06:42  <andythenorth> express_1 and express_2 :P
19:06:54  <andythenorth> display strings can be done later
