00:21:35  <glx> received :)
00:21:53  <RichK__> cool
00:23:30  <glx> it seems fixed
00:23:59  <RichK__> yeah, i had found the line that did it... i could switch it on/off as a CTD
00:25:26  <RichK__> do you think the map edge is crinkly enough?
00:25:56  <glx> !whatis crinkly
00:25:58  <jmp_ghli> >glx> Crinkly \Crin"kly\ (-kl?), a. Having crinkles; wavy; wrinkly.  crinkly adj : having wrinkles or waves
00:26:25  <RichK__> uneven, irregular
00:26:29  <glx> yes
00:26:46  <RichK__> would it be better if there were fewer edge cliffs?
00:26:51  <glx> looks "natural"
00:26:55  <RichK__> cool :)
00:27:44  <glx> wow AI started to play on it :)
00:28:26  <RichK__> yeah ... it will have fun terraforming... (just think what its like mountainous!!)
00:28:30  <DarkSSH> got pics? :)
00:28:53  <RichK__> tens of thousands... im a photographer ;)
00:29:00  <DarkSSH> ..
00:29:31  <RichK__> easier to send the scn... you cant get the full idea in a screenie
00:29:49  <RichK__> btw... 512x512 took about 2.5secs to generate
00:31:15  <DarkSSH> don't have ottd here
00:31:24  <DarkSSH> at least not in a runnable form
00:32:00  <RichK__> ok, ill grab a few 1024x768s... post in the terragen perlin thread
00:32:04  * glx should not take giant screenshot of 512x512 with his 233MHz

00:42:57  <RichK__> desert terrain on mountainous is way cool... i put in a cosine wave into the terrain, so it starts high in the mountains, fades to a desert valley bottom, and then rises back to mountains again
00:43:26  <DarkSSH> what's the red-tiles in #2?
00:43:37  <RichK__> its the latest bug-ette
00:43:42  <DarkSSH> highlight invalid tiles? :)
00:44:00  <RichK__> huh?
00:44:13  <DarkSSH> MP_VOID
00:44:16  <DarkSSH> looking nice
00:44:24  <DarkSSH> if I may nitpick :P
00:44:40  <glx> it's in OpenTTD
00:44:43  <RichK__> sure... i need feedback
00:45:06  <DarkSSH> 1. what would be cool if the terrain were a bit more random, eg more random small bumps, depressions. I think it would make it a lot more realistic-looking
00:45:44  <RichK__> set smoothness to "very rough"... your wish is granted
00:45:47  <DarkSSH> 2. on the tropical map try and put oases next to water (eg desert right next to the coast looks a bit weird most of the time). And the mountains should be really rought
00:45:52  <DarkSSH> -t
00:46:30  <RichK__> ahh... 2.  do you mean put trees next to water?
00:46:51  <DarkSSH> well, possible, but don't set the desert bit there :)
00:46:56  <RichK__> many deserts go right up to the coast
00:47:08  <DarkSSH> I think the original TTD does this
00:47:42  <DarkSSH> it's too bad we don't have desert-coast-gfx though
00:47:45  <DarkSSH> looks really weird
00:47:56  <DarkSSH> oh he, damn 2AM :(
00:48:00  <RichK__> yeah, a bit
00:48:10  <RichK__> yeah, id better crawl off too
00:48:28  <DarkSSH> gn peeps. I'll talk to ya tomorrow about airports :)
00:48:44  <RichK__> lol... mercy!

04:24:01  <EternalDecoy> hey, im in a game right now, and nothing is getting put in any of my stations...
04:24:20  <EternalDecoy> anyone know why?...
04:24:27  * LadyHawk is away (auto away after 30 mins idle)
04:24:45  <EternalDecoy> can anyone help me?
04:30:28  <Vornicus> Before things show up at stations, vehicles must arrive that can carry that cargo.
04:31:46  <EternalDecoy> alright, just found that
04:32:18  <EternalDecoy> and how come oil refineries, the part with the big tanks dont count for giving the acceptance for stations?
04:32:29  <Vornicus> because it sucks.
04:32:52  <EternalDecoy> lol
04:33:04  <EternalDecoy> found it a bit annoying...
04:33:37  <Vornicus> oil refineries and power plants I think are the only two industries that do not accept cargo everywhere.  Power plants it's not too bad because most places still accept.  Oil refineries, on the other hand, you must cover the towers with the flames on the top.

07:43:48  <woodwizzle> Hello
07:44:20  <woodwizzle> I'm planning on creating a linux liveCD preloaded with what I believe are the best linux games
07:44:43  <woodwizzle> I would like to include OpenTTD, but I don't know how this would be possible
07:45:26  <woodwizzle> is TTD officially abandonware? Can I include the data off of my original CD? Or is there an alternate dataset that has no legal issues?
07:50:56  * woodwizzle pokes around
07:50:59  <woodwizzle> anyone alive in here =)
07:52:35  <peter1138> no and no

07:55:36  <TL|Away> "officially abandonware" <- that is a new one :)
07:56:28  <peter1138> :)
07:57:06  <TL|Away> woodwizzle: there still isn't such things as "officially abandonware". If something is official free to use, it is called freeware
07:57:14  <TL|Away> all abandonware are still considered illegal for most countries
07:57:20  <TL|Away> until court says otherwise
07:57:38  <TL|Away> The term has no legal meaning. This means that labeling any kind of software 'abandonware' does not make it legal to distribute it. Unless the author puts the software in the public domain, any and all abandonware remains covered under copyright law until its copyright term expires.
07:57:38  <woodwizzle> that is such a bummer.
07:57:44  <TL|Away> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware
07:57:56  <TL|Away> know what words mean before using ;)
07:58:29  <woodwizzle> What is in those data files? just graphics and music?
07:58:35  <TL|Away> yup
07:58:57  <TL|Away> In 2001, the ESA (or IDSA, as it was called then) began threatening lawsuits on sites that enabled illegal downloading of games belonging to its members. This resulted in many sites shutting down altogether.
07:59:43  <TL|Away> and TTD isn't given free to the public
07:59:59  <TL|Away> so sorry, bad luck, but OpenTTD needs the data-files, and the data-files are still under copyright protection
08:00:13  <woodwizzle> I own TTD and the original TT, but both CDs are scratched bad enough that I couldn't retrieve the data from them, so I got my data files from online. That is acceptable since i already own them sin't it?
08:00:22  <TL|Away> (although some people (even in here) claim it is no problem, and most likely nobody will ever get sued for it, it still is illegal)
08:01:08  <TL|Away> woodwizzle: strangely enough, what you did enters a whole other problems in illegal wares: downloading isn't illegal
08:01:10  <TL|Away> uploading is
08:01:37  <TL|Away> and this is one of the things I really do not get... but thatis what the law says :s
08:01:44  <peter1138> s/uploading/making available/
08:02:10  <TL|Away> peter1138: yeah :)
08:02:14  <woodwizzle> TL|Away, I suppose it is because you are making it possible for others to 'steal' it even if you are uploading it
08:02:19  <peter1138> don't forget all the different laws in different countries ;p
08:02:37  <peter1138> in some it may well be illegal to download
08:02:57  <Tobin> "but thatis what the law says " <--- That depends on which country you're in IIRC.
08:02:58  <woodwizzle> if you are downloading though, you may have good reason. Still I think they way it should be would be legal to upload or download if you own, and illegal otherwise
08:03:04  <Tobin> peter1138: You beat me to it. ;)
08:03:04  <TL|Away> woodwizzle: but that downloading itself is legal... (okay, in most countries that is).. it is like buying a cheap hifi-set, knowing it is stolen
08:03:25  <peter1138> TL|Away: that's illegal in the UK ;)
08:03:30  <TL|Away> woodwizzle: that aint true :) You can not, and may not, distrubute it in _any_ way
08:03:35  <Tobin> woodwizzle: You can often get TTD on e-bay for quite cheap.
08:03:36  <woodwizzle> All then new code in the OpenTTD project, is that GPL?
08:03:38  <TL|Away> peter1138: that is illegal everywhere!
08:03:44  <TL|Away> but downloading wares isn't?!
08:04:12  <woodwizzle> hold on, whats illegal everywhere?
08:04:12  <TL|Away> woodwizzle: the code is released under GPL yes
08:04:19  <TL|Away> woodwizzle: buying that hifi
08:04:24  <peter1138> hehe
08:04:31  <woodwizzle> oh ok hehe
08:04:41  <Tobin> Hmmm.
08:04:41  <TL|Away> [09:03:02] <TL|Away> woodwizzle: but that downloading itself is legal... (okay, in most countries that is).. it is like buying a cheap hifi-set, knowing it is stolen, which is illegal
08:04:45  <TL|Away> I forgot to add something :)
08:04:51  <woodwizzle> So for the sake of argument...
08:05:04  <woodwizzle> if i were to create all new sound effects and graphics
08:05:05  <Tobin> AU  for TTD + Railroad Tycoon 3 on ebay.
08:05:41  <peter1138> you'd be there for a long time
08:05:49  <woodwizzle> and include them instead. Would OpenTTD be just as free and open as say wesnoth and any other GPL software?
08:06:45  <TL|Away> woodwizzle: yes, with a small sidenote: the main source-code of OpenTTD is reversed engineerd. Nowedays most code is rewritten, but it has to be said that in the court of law, it is doubtful if it would stand. But, that are tiny details, you can safely assume that you can then freely distribute the game
08:07:04  <TL|Away> also remember that OpenTTD itself is free and open, it is GPL. Just you need some data-files ;)
08:08:03  <TL|Away> (legallity is such a painful subject :()
08:08:54  <woodwizzle> I suppose contacting the original creators and begging them to release the data has already been tried =)
08:09:18  <TL|Away> yup

08:14:36  <peter1138> yes
08:14:46  <peter1138> probably owned by atari
08:15:02  <woodwizzle> do we know if and when the copyright will expire?
08:16:13  <woodwizzle> I suppose the best and only solution then is to create all new graphics. It seems a daunting task but not entirely impossible if a small cadre attempted it
08:18:36  <Prof_Frink> woodwizzle: Actually, if you got permission from the appropriate TTDPatch graphic authors you'd be pretty much there
08:18:53  <woodwizzle> TTDPatch?
08:19:03  <Prof_Frink> yes.
08:20:33  <woodwizzle> I thought ttdpatch was a project similar to openttd? free code and the same old graphics?

08:22:04  <Prof_Frink> yeah
08:22:19  <woodwizzle> not a bad idea, i'll look into it
08:22:21  <Prof_Frink> I think the main things that are missing are industires
08:22:40  <woodwizzle> ever played simutrans?
08:23:00  <Prof_Frink> There's certanly roadsets, landscapes, trainsets, the planeset, RVsets...
08:23:09  <Prof_Frink> Not for any length of time
08:23:32  <woodwizzle> Perhaps their graphics could be used instead?
08:23:34  <Prof_Frink> I never got into it, I kept trying to play it like TTD
08:23:56  <Prof_Frink> The problem with that is palette
08:24:13  <woodwizzle> and resolution
08:24:19  <woodwizzle> i'm sure the tiles are different sized
08:25:12  <woodwizzle> in fact, if I were to attempt redrawing ALL of ttd's graphics, i'd probably want to double or perhaps quadruple the resolution anyway to get better zooming on todays hi-res monitors
08:25:35  <Patrick`> woodwizzle: yep, problem is that the graphics are, well, fan-made
08:26:11  <Patrick`> I don't mean it as an offense, but something with such achingly beautiful hand-crafted pixels can never be replaced by a few isolateral polygons in gimp
08:26:33  <woodwizzle> Patrick`, I totally disagree with that
08:26:45  <Patrick`> lemme guess, you're an artist
08:26:54  <woodwizzle> Sure those graphics arn't nearly as good as the much older ttd graphics
08:27:03  <woodwizzle> but take a look at battle for wesnoth.
08:27:07  <Patrick`> yep, so I'll stick to dropping files in
08:27:23  <woodwizzle> Those are gorgeous pixel graphics done by nothing but volunteers
08:27:41  <Patrick`> that's a game with wide-scale appeal
08:27:50  <woodwizzle> the trick is getting a couple of artists, and sticking to a set of style guidelines
08:27:56  <Patrick`> I think there are enough newgrf to build a playable game
08:28:02  <Patrick`> "mars" enviroment or something
08:28:06  <Patrick`> but the problem is the sound
08:28:12  <Patrick`> it will run without it, but ...
08:28:36  <woodwizzle> Yeah, sound would be the biggest problem. That might be easier to get from simutrans though
08:28:42  <Prof_Frink> but .grf s can contain sounds now

08:28:53  <woodwizzle> still, airports and such would need new sounds
08:28:54  <Patrick`> ssh
08:29:13  <woodwizzle> perhaps i could get some airplane noises from some freeware flight sims
08:29:25  <Patrick`> every few months I bring it up

08:30:21  <woodwizzle> Well, its a big task. And only part of a bigger task that I initially set out to do whichi is create a liveCD distro
08:30:34  <Patrick`> so the answer to your question is technically no.

08:30:47  <Patrick`> heard of UQM?
08:30:54  <Patrick`> it's not my thing but people are crazy about it
08:31:35  <woodwizzle> yup, i've gotten sort of far in it. I like the story and parts of the gameplay, but the combat system is pretty bad
08:31:48  <Patrick`> buy more upgrades
08:31:55  <Patrick`> there's one that makes your weapons seek
08:32:03  <Patrick`> and don't bother with fan, rear, or side
08:32:07  <woodwizzle> no its not that, its just reckless a wierd and a little too fast
08:32:20  <Patrick`> you never played asteroids as a kid?
08:32:21  <Patrick`> for shame
08:32:27  <Patrick`> also; don't dawdle, there's a time limit
08:32:48  <Patrick`> I did and it sucked, especially in a game where the purpose is to discover things
08:32:53  <Patrick`> the replay value is minimal
08:32:55  <woodwizzle> I'm thinking of including UQM in my cd as well. but it may be too big
08:33:06  <Patrick`> take out the voice samples then
08:33:14  <woodwizzle> Thats the best part though!!!
08:33:20  <Patrick`> music then
08:33:31  <woodwizzle> it would be so tedious reading ALL of that when playing a game
08:33:54  <woodwizzle> I may just see if I can make a LiveDVD instead, I'd expect my target audience (windows gamers) to have DVD drives
08:34:20  <Patrick`> anyway, I thought there were some off-the-shelf gaming livecds you could just tweak
08:34:43  <Patrick`> maybe find one of those quake/quake 2/quake 3 open graphics sets as well, eh?
08:35:14  <woodwizzle> Patrick`, there are. But my aim is totally different than those. They mostly try to cram as much games on one disc. I wan't to just include the creme de la creme
08:35:26  <Patrick`> freespace 2
08:35:38  <Patrick`> it wasnae too bad when I played it
08:35:53  <woodwizzle> That way instead of using blackbox and giving them a bad impression of linux, I can use gnome with beagle and other wonderful things that'll show off linux
08:36:03  <Patrick`> and xgl!
08:36:08  <woodwizzle> exactly!
08:36:12  <Patrick`> I'd guess most gamers have access to a good video card
08:36:18  <Patrick`> just a guess
08:36:38  <Patrick`> also: wine plus redistributable freeware?
08:37:14  <woodwizzle> My goal is toofold. I want to attract gamers in particular so that they are exposed to linux and perhaps at least a very little bit it would be a catalyst to the gaming industry taking notice of linux
08:37:16  <Patrick`> or do you aim for ideological purity
08:37:35  <Patrick`> maybe a "look at this, this windows game demo runs fine in wine"
08:37:42  <woodwizzle> No, I plan on including any proprietary software that I can legally.
08:37:43  <Tron> <Patrick`> music then <-- that's the best part
08:37:59  <Tron> <woodwizzle> it would be so tedious reading ALL of that when playing a game <-- i did that with the original, because there was no spoken text
08:38:05  <Patrick`> woodwizzle: in fact, ut2004 demo?
08:38:46  <woodwizzle> Patrick`, I don't really want to include those because they are already available on windows and the linux version can't compete with them
08:38:58  <Patrick`> other than "performance increases"
08:39:06  <Patrick`> test to see which ones get the most faster :D
08:39:23  <Tron> instead of talking and talking and talking you could start a complete replacement set for the graphics
08:39:24  <woodwizzle> most of the time windows wins, just because thats what it was developed for
08:39:27  <Patrick`> woodwizzle: see, the openttd files are a bit of an interesting area, because the current copyright holder doesn't even acknowledge that they have copyright (after sequential buyouts)
08:39:33  <Patrick`> but they might, one day
08:39:40  <Tron> no matter how cheap they are, it would be a very good start to attract others to improve it
08:39:43  <Tron> it just has to work
08:39:56  <Patrick`> well, what are the problems with using ttdpatch grfs ?
08:40:04  <Tron> they aren't grfs
08:40:07  <Patrick`> ah
08:40:08  <Tron> it's a total misnomer
08:40:21  <Patrick`> well, find the ones that were creative-commons'd
08:40:31  <Tron> the game grfs just are a big array of sprites, nothing more
08:40:44  <Patrick`> and the ttdpatch ones have extra information
08:41:28  <Tron> newgrfs have pratically nothing in common except they can include graphics, too, but they come always in conjunction with control commands, something which simply doesn't exist in the "real" grfs
08:42:29  <Patrick`> hmm
08:42:46  <Patrick`> and I assume the license is such that we can't pull them apart or even include them without permission
08:42:57  <Patrick`> and we've already asked
08:43:21  <woodwizzle> so in other words?
08:43:46  <Patrick`> no.
08:44:01  <woodwizzle> if i created all the new graphx, I couldn't provide them in the correct format without using some of the original ttd data?
08:44:09  <Tron> just draw about five- to sixthousand cheap sprites
08:44:10  <Patrick`> oh, no, it's possible
08:44:17  <Patrick`> just do what tron said
08:44:41  <Patrick`> there might be some work done on it already, check the forums
08:46:28  <Tron> <woodwizzle> if i created all the new graphx, I couldn't provide them in the correct format without using some of the original ttd data? <--- i don't understand what you mean
08:47:19  <woodwizzle> Tron, prolly my fault because I didn't understand what you were talking about either, and I was asking you to sum it up for me =)

08:50:27  <Patrick`> woodwizzle: so tell me more about sources of creative commons sounds for transport...
08:50:41  <Patrick`> woodwizzle: I might just put together a pack
08:50:56  <Patrick`> (or other suitable license)
08:51:52  <woodwizzle> Patrick, well I dunno about Creative Commons sounds, however I know of a number of GPL games with included sounds that could work
08:52:30  <woodwizzle> Simutrans has trucks and trains and dynamite and probably 60-80% of the sounds we would need
08:53:03  <woodwizzle> http://www.flightgear.org/
08:53:29  <woodwizzle> that is a gpl flight sim where you fly commercial jets. Sounds for jets could be gotten there
08:54:32  <woodwizzle> can't remeber if simutrans has boats... i think so
08:55:34  <woodwizzle> simutrans is freeware though, not open source. I know the creator likes giving his game away but is very very touchy about letting others see his code. I don't know if that extends to the use of his media though.
08:55:40  <woodwizzle> Would prolly have to ask hime
08:55:48  <woodwizzle> for permission
08:56:53  <Prof_Frink> It's good to ask permissions anyway, even if the license specifically allows it

09:09:20  <DarkSSH> I'll let cel handle it, perhaps he already has something to continue on
09:09:34  <tron_> does anybody have an idea why GetSlopeZ_TunnelBridge is so uber-complicated?
09:09:50  <DarkSSH> bridges are complicated
09:09:58  <tron_> i have a rewrite which is ...
09:10:09  <tron_> a bit more than half as long
09:10:27  <tron_> which just removes most of the special cases
09:10:30  <DarkSSH> donnu, there were a lot of probs with correct z-calc and slopes, foundations
09:12:53  <tron_> there's a annoyance with tile selection under bridges
09:13:00  <tron_> especially under high bridges
09:13:20  <tron_> the cause are exactly these complicated special handling
09:13:20  <tron_> s
09:14:26  <tron_> if the cursors points near the center of a tile below a bridge the wrong tile (normally one too low) gets selected
09:14:45  <CIA-5> Darkvater * r3994 /trunk/unix.c: - Fix: convert filenames to UTF-8-MAC instead of UTF-8 for MACOSX, because that's what it uses. This is no real fix for the current iconv hack but it should at least work properly
09:15:00  <Patrick`> whatever happened to maprewrite
09:15:31  <tron_> that's because in this case the function returns a z value on the bridge and with this input the newton iteration in viewport.c goes bonkers

13:14:59  <DarkSSH> for anyone familiar with databases: what do you think is more efficient for entering a unique username?
13:15:10  <DarkSSH> 1. getting the username checking if it exists and if not adding it
13:15:11  <DarkSSH> or
13:15:23  <DarkSSH> 2. making use of foreign keys and trap the exception if it is violated
13:15:25  <DarkSSH> (Java btw)
13:17:23  <Mukke> I'd say check if it exists
13:17:31  <Mukke> expcetion handling is expensive compared to other stuff
13:18:01  *** MagicJohn [n=magical@unaffiliated/magicjohn] has joined #openttd
13:18:01  <Mukke> obviously you will have to do it in a transaction, though
13:18:03  <DarkSSH> java pratically lives off of exception handling :)
13:18:43  <DarkSSH> Mukke: why? If I just insert a single user and it fails because of constrains there is no transaction needed. But for multiple, yes would be handy
13:18:49  <MagicJohn> Hehe, why not.,
13:18:57  *** BJH [n=chatzill@e176108091.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #openttd
13:19:08  <Mukke> you will need a transaction if doing 1.
13:19:44  <DarkSSH> no I don't
13:19:51  <DarkSSH> getting username is just a select
13:20:02  <Mukke> surely you do...
13:20:11  <Mukke> 1a: check if exists
13:20:14  <Mukke> 1b: insert
13:20:32  <Mukke> what if another transaction adds it between 1a and 1b
13:20:52  <DarkSSH> ah
13:20:54  <DarkSSH> point taken
13:21:16  <peter1138> rely on the exception, and hope no-one takes the constraint off...
13:22:10  <DarkSSH> argumentation?

16:06:04  <Patrick`> for gradient in realistic acceleration, probably something else
16:06:16  <SimonRC> qah, ok
16:06:19  <Patrick`> for doing maps of the world, varies again (check out the africa scenario)

16:56:25  <SimonRC> It was already level with minimum ocean
16:56:51  <Patrick`> 341 million to do that
16:56:53  <Patrick`> holy crap
16:56:58  <Patrick`> I have enough money to do it
16:57:20  <SimonRC> There needs to be a way to drag a rectangle to buy up lots of land at once.
16:57:31  <Patrick`> it's been officially decided against
16:57:34  <SimonRC> Someone with a bug tracker account should post that one
16:57:37  <Patrick`> because of noobs abusing it
16:57:41  <SimonRC> :-S
16:57:41  <Patrick`> it's been asked many times before
16:57:47  <Patrick`> and it's a definite NO
16:57:55  <SimonRC> how would that work?
16:58:08  <Patrick`> buy all land around an industry or factory
16:58:13  <Patrick`> voila, no competition
16:58:15  <SimonRC> ah, evil
16:58:22  <Patrick`> no, just fucking gay
16:58:41  <SimonRC> you could do that with just a few clicks.
16:58:44  <SimonRC> hmm
16:58:50  <Patrick`> these are the same people that flood land and build solid-signal lines in sunken pits so you can't go over or under
16:58:57  <Patrick`> mostly banned
16:59:25  * SimonRC wonders what the Real World solution to this problem is.
16:59:58  <SimonRC> Well, the solution to one of those is to allow bridges over signals.
17:00:10  <Patrick`> won't work
17:00:16  <Patrick`> bridges over track is a hack as it is
17:00:20  <SimonRC> ah
17:00:56  <SimonRC> so the trains on the bridge would stop at the signal underneath, I guess.
17:01:43  <Patrick`> god knows
17:01:55  <SimonRC> Bah
17:01:59  <SimonRC> we need a re-write
17:02:10  <Patrick`> here's a vi, get cracking
17:02:14  <SimonRC> and you'd have to be absolutely insane to try it
17:02:25  <SimonRC> Gah! Netlag!
17:02:49  <SimonRC> (((((((I use emacs)))))))
17:03:23  <SimonRC> ... except when I use vi

20:54:45  <peter1138> no!#
20:54:51  <peter1138> that's the whole point :)
20:55:09  <DarkSSH> well you update the existing track which is SetSi..(tile, track)
20:55:20  <DarkSSH> and the removed track which was TRACK_X or TRACK_Y
20:56:19  <peter1138> with both TRACK_X & TRACK_Y there, the pathfinder knows they touch, and will update all appropriate signals
20:56:27  <peter1138> in the screenshot, i removed TRACK_X
20:56:59  * DarkSSH is confused again and gives up
20:57:02  <DarkSSH> *frustrating*
20:57:05  <peter1138> it then runs SetSi..() on TRACK_X, but that no longer touches TRACK_Y, so the the segments in the TRACK_Y direction don't get updated
20:57:17  <DarkSSH> ok
20:57:31  <DarkSSH> so totally correct would be
20:57:36  <DarkSSH> setsignals(track)

20:59:04  <peter1138> track_x/y would need to be transposed in the calls to setsignals, there

20:59:28  <DarkSSH> unless Tron objects, just commit it
20:59:29  <peter1138> if crossing is set, we know we need to update both track_x and track_y

21:36:20  <DarkSSH> Patrick`: giving the save thread a lower priority will take AGES to get the game saved on bigger maps. At times it took me more than 1 game-month on a big-big map. Not really useful

21:40:19  <Bjarni> Prof_Frink: why?
21:40:28  <Prof_Frink> Because you can?
21:40:41  <Bjarni> to use more CPU time?
21:40:46  <Prof_Frink> Yeah
21:40:56  <Prof_Frink> And some more memory while you're at it
21:40:57  <Bjarni> it means it will need to communicate with the other tread
21:41:36  <Bjarni> right now the saving tread exits once it's finished and the game thread have no other contact than just checking if the saving thread is there
21:41:44  <Bjarni> if I remember correctly
21:42:11  <Bjarni> if they have to interact, then you need to code them more complex and to wait for each other
21:42:21  <Bjarni> not a good idea when you consider speed an issue
21:42:39  <DarkSSH> you got the 'zzZ' as your progressbar :P

23:23:42  <Brianetta> Depends on your shell

23:26:05  <Brianetta> It's not as extensive as zsh's
