00:15:20  <Digitalfox_Desktop> But the strange thing is that is almost always at this hour that some strange users appear :\

00:17:06  <Eddi|zuHause3> it's an evil plot by cs :p
00:17:18  <Eddi|zuHause3> like a DoS attack :p

00:28:11  <Smoovious> a DoS attack... nice...

00:30:04  <Eddi|zuHause3> well, that's how a DoS attack works, right? you get some strange person to send senseless requests so the server is overloaded with rubbish and cannot deal with the important stuff
00:30:45  <Eddi|zuHause3> although 1 request per night is probably a poor excuse of an "attack" :p
00:33:22  <Smoovious> not a DoS one anyways... but still qualifies as an attack
00:34:02  <Smoovious> one security site described something  similar...  site being probed  slowly  for v ulnerabilities
00:35:03  <SmatZ> some slow portscan?
00:36:21  <Smoovious> ya
00:36:23  <Digitalfox_Desktop> Eddi|zuHause3: Yes, most of the times by using zombies OS.. But for it to work it has be used 100% of all Server side power ( or almost 100%, depends if the server just serves that site/FTP's, etc..).. To make the server unavailable :)
00:36:37  <Smoovious> trying to stay u nder t he radar... but h e got spotted
00:37:41  <Eddi|zuHause3> well, even one irregular log entry may cause you to be spotted
00:37:56  <Smoovious> if someone is looking
00:38:01  <SmatZ> it is evening in the US now ... maybe people powering their home computers on ... releasing the zombies ;)

00:38:46  <Smoovious> most admins would be l ooking for quantity... a single innocuous entry would be missed... but t he  dude  started seeing  it more than once... looking m ore familiar... then he  decided t o check past logs...
00:38:47  <SmatZ> Eddi|zuHause3: hard to say ... I am running an apache server - and there are irregularities (strange requests) very often
00:38:48  <Smoovious> busted
00:39:00  <SmatZ> even I do not have any public website...
00:39:16  <Eddi|zuHause3> Digitalfox_Desktop: meanwhile, most DoS attacks are distributed, using thousands of machines infected with IRC bots
00:39:32  <Digitalfox_Desktop> But DoS is becaming obsolete and hard to cause, because of policies introduced in OS/Router/etc.. that makes a bigger selection of what can enter or not and at what time interval.. :)
00:39:46  <Digitalfox_Desktop> Eddi|zuHause3: True :)
00:41:28  <Digitalfox_Desktop> When i was taking MCSE/CCNP and HTI one of things we spend 2 weeks learning was that to be really prepared to have security we need to use attack tools and see what they did.. So we spent 2 weeks using attack tools and compromising Windows 2003 and some linux distros to see what policies were wrong.. :)

00:43:50  <Digitalfox_Desktop> We used almost everything in astalavista and attacks tools widely available on google.. Also one of our colleagues was a programmer and he made some pretty tools to check holes, on routers/switches and OS..
00:45:11  <Digitalfox_Desktop> Security is always hard to get.. People don't want hard passwords.. Don't want to have to pass a finger-print check because it's strange etc...
00:45:35  <Digitalfox_Desktop> It's more a compromise of security vs easy use
00:46:29  <SmatZ> some of first lines of log - http://paste.openttd.org/167
00:47:09  <Digitalfox_Desktop> And most of directors and presidents of company's think spending money on hardware to secure is a waste of money, since a mercedes is more fun :(

01:02:43  <Eddi|zuHause3> looks like a bot trying to go through a list of names
01:05:48  <Eddi|zuHause3> you could probably easily write a script to detect this behaviour
01:07:09  <SmatZ> Eddi|zuHause3: what nicks are problematic?
01:07:27  <SmatZ> I am really confused, I would be happy to understand what you are talking about :)
01:07:49  <Eddi|zuHause3> not nicknames, filenames
01:08:11  <Eddi|zuHause3> that possibly contain executable stuff
01:08:34  <SmatZ> at this channel?
01:09:15  <Eddi|zuHause3> i mean the log you showed
01:09:28  <SmatZ> ah
01:09:44  <SmatZ> sorry I didn't understand :)
01:10:40  <SmatZ> maybe some problematic scripts or exploits

10:08:32  <Digitalfox_Notebook> I understand why you kicked him TrueBrain :) But the video is pretty cool ..
10:10:04  <Rubidium> Digitalfox_Notebook: "nature" videos usually point to porn
10:10:21  <Digitalfox_Notebook> Rubidium: True :)
10:10:43  <Rubidium> and this is not a channel to post porn links in
10:10:55  <Digitalfox_Notebook> very true
10:12:44  <Digitalfox_Notebook> When creating a newgrf set, how do we know what GRFID to give, and avoiding having one already used by other set? :\
10:16:26  <Rubidium> don't know, but I've got the feeling it's just a gamble whether it's already used
10:16:45  <Rubidium> but the first two bytes are usually the same for each author

12:54:27  <Noldo> plaah, it's raining
12:54:31  <TrueBrain> try finding them for 1 euro :p
12:54:37  <TrueBrain> (verbatim, that is)
12:54:45  <Sacro|Laptop> Noldo: yes... i'm getting worried about flooding
12:54:52  <Digitalfox_Desktop> It's a shame there aren't DL rewritable DVD's .. :(
12:54:55  <Eddi|zuHause3> why would it have to be verbatim?
12:55:09  <TrueBrain> because most others work poorly in my XBox :p
12:55:35  <Noldo> Sacro|Laptop: I'm not. There is so much lake area here that it would take quite a lot of rain for anything to flood
12:56:30  <Noldo> But it would nicer to cycle home if it didn't
12:57:27  <Digitalfox_Desktop> I actually got scamed with 10 ones ( didn't follow the development of DL and always thought there also DL Rewritable ..) So i bought 10 for 29EUR ( yes in portugal DL are expensive ) But SL are like 30 cents each..

13:02:12  <Digitalfox_Desktop> The problem is that mail shipping becomes expensive, if ordering for portugal.
13:02:51  <TrueBrain> I order in from Germany, around 26 euro for 10
13:03:01  <TrueBrain> still better than the 55 euro for 10 overhere :p
13:03:10  <Digitalfox_Desktop> And mail services are a little stupid.. Let's just say they have the habbit of losing a lot of stuff..
13:03:13  <Eddi|zuHause3> 25 for 22,90EUR (from austria)

14:38:02  <TrueBrain> I have no idea what stringcodes are :p
14:39:05  <Rubidium> think of it as {STRING} {NUM} etc
14:39:58  <TrueBrain> ah! How did they solve it?
14:40:07  <Rubidium> which read from a "stack" and there are like get word from stack and print a {NUM} and get byte from stack and print as {NUM} together with "rotate top 4 words on the stack" or "push word on stack"
14:41:37  *** Osai is now known as Osai^Kendo
14:42:56  <Rubidium> which is *very* funny because some strings we must handle in our system, i.e. replace the "get word from stack and print as {NUM}" with just "get value from the dparams and print as {NUM}", but in other cases we need to emulate that TTDP stack as we get the (raw) data from a newgrf
14:43:58  <TrueBrain> .....
14:44:00  <TrueBrain> good luck :p
14:44:05  <peter1138> we replaced the byte-based stack with int64s
14:44:16  <peter1138> (via int32 for most of history)
14:44:32  <Rubidium> peter1138: I know that, but callback 3A assumes the byte-based stack

14:44:56  <peter1138> hmm
14:45:13  <peter1138> i guess you need to pre-parse the string to unpack the arguments, or something
14:46:40  <Rubidium> peter1138: but then... you've got a push word on stack

16:53:50  <Belugas> Mizipzor, a bridge may have a speed limit, while the terrain will only slowdown because of the slope-tracting effort and so on
16:54:18  <Belugas> although, the "slope" of the bridgehead is certainly shorter then most terrain slopes ;)
16:54:31  <Mizipzor> Belugas, yea, but on an upslope, i guess a train will rarely slow down more due to the effect of the bridge than the slope
16:55:25  <SmatZ> Mizipzor: I did a test ... and in this test, bridges were better than hills

17:58:27  <Eddi|zuHause3> mil == thousand...
17:58:53  <skidd13> The internal x-axis is NW-SE and the y-axis NE-SW, is it?
17:58:57  <Phazorx> now, 980,000
17:59:13  <Eddi|zuHause3> no, the other way round, skidd13
17:59:14  <peter1138> 1 million passengers. no 'of' and not 'mil'
17:59:20  <Eddi|zuHause3> x is from NE to SW
17:59:31  <Phazorx> when paused - 0
17:59:36  <Eddi|zuHause3> y is from NW to SE

18:00:35  <skidd13> N is clear but I wasn't sure wich axis is which.
18:01:14  <Eddi|zuHause3> take your right hand (thumb=x, index=y, middle=z)
18:01:41  <Eddi|zuHause3> turn it so that z is up, x is towards your left, y is towards your right
18:02:48  <Eddi|zuHause3> most 3D coordinate systems follow the right hand rule
18:03:33  <skidd13> I know this rule, but wasn't sure cause then the land info tooltip shows x on 2nd pos. :)
18:03:58  <Phazorx> so ince again what can put such stress on CPU when nothing is mvoing ?
18:05:29  <peter1138> loads of things
18:05:49  <peter1138> cargo arriving at a station can cause the station to be redrawn, for example
18:06:29  <peter1138> skidd13: no, X is first pos on land area info
18:07:03  <Phazorx> train are not moving, so cargo arrives only local and stations are packed for a while already is there sprite animation that differencistaes 990000 and 1000000 ?
18:07:49  <peter1138> we don't do station sprite animation
18:09:01  <Phazorx> "we" ?
18:09:07  <peter1138> ottd
18:09:27  <Phazorx> well i kinda assumed that grfs can only use features that are available in engine
18:09:39  <Phazorx> regardless most stations are kisyt default ones ratehr than fancy
18:09:52  <peter1138> kisyt?
18:09:53  <Phazorx> so they dont have that much of animation capacity
18:10:02  <Phazorx> "just default"
18:10:28  <Phazorx> there are 113 RR stations there though
18:10:29  <peter1138> when using the default stations only, it is not redrawn

18:52:16  <JazzyJaffa> Wolf01: Thanks for the comment on the route planner, it works ok when you have bags of ram and don't mind waiting as a single player, but I don't think its ready for AI!
18:54:17  <JazzyJaffa> YAPF is doing most of the work as Rubidium says, for something usable you'd need to do a lot more work
18:55:39  <Eddi|zuHause3> well, it's probably similar to the ship pathfinding, there are too many options
18:57:11  <JazzyJaffa> Indeed, you get millions of options
18:57:51  <JazzyJaffa> BTW Would YAPF for ships be viable if the whole route was cached?
18:58:59  <Eddi|zuHause3> yeah, it would probably reduce load very much if pathfinder is not called on every tile
18:59:38  <Eddi|zuHause3> but on every change of a water tile you have to clear all caches and recalculate
19:00:26  <JazzyJaffa> Only on an add of a water tile
19:00:42  <Eddi|zuHause3> no, also if the path is blocked by raising land
19:01:00  <JazzyJaffa> For loss of water you could check if the ship passed through (pretty rare)
19:01:31  <Eddi|zuHause3> yeah, but you have to check all ships and all future tiles of each ship
19:01:55  <Eddi|zuHause3> and see if it matches the tile(s) you changed
19:02:06  <JazzyJaffa> and for an add of water you would only need to check if the new tile had >1 water neighbours
19:02:49  <Eddi|zuHause3> you usually have 2 water neighbours
19:04:19  <Eddi|zuHause3> there are two possible ways to solve the ship issue
19:04:26  <JazzyJaffa> ah ha! i think you can get round that - I need to draw it out
19:04:51  <Eddi|zuHause3> a) implement ship routes between buoys, ships can only travel along those routes
19:05:19  <Eddi|zuHause3> b) find a region based pathfinder, that can handle large numbers of equivalent routes
19:05:28  <Eddi|zuHause3> (squares of water)
19:06:26  <CIA-1> OpenTTD: truelight * r10552 /trunk/src/build_vehicle_gui.cpp: -Fix [FS#1034, r10546]: opening Available Aircrafts segfaulted
19:06:29  <Eddi|zuHause3> of course regions are easier to find on water than on land (for track building), so it might not help much there
19:07:57  <skidd13> What about nature examples for the pathfinder? I remember something like that from my technical material lessons. The "Gummibandmodell" for dislocation movements in a crystalline structure.
19:08:36  <JazzyJaffa> I think this works: You remember each new water tile since last re-calc and only recalc if the new water tile has 1> "old water" tiles
19:08:57  <JazzyJaffa> thats the only case where a shorter route could be made
19:09:25  <JazzyJaffa> opps >1
19:11:46  <Eddi|zuHause3> like i said, flooding usually has "diagonal" edges, so most new water tiles have 2 old water tiles next to them

19:12:55  <glx> [20:42:02] <Phazorx> grrr.. what config flag i need for profiling ? <-- configure --enable-profiling
19:13:06  <CIA-1> OpenTTD: truelight * r10553 /branches/noai/ (11 files in 5 dirs): [NoAI] -Add: added a framework for AIPathFinder() and implemented a really stupid AIPathFinderStupid()
19:13:39  <Eddi|zuHause3> and you can try to optimise pathfinding by doing an approximate search first for intermediate points (like distance ~3 tiles), and then only calculate
19:13:51  <Phazorx> glx: thanks
19:13:51  <Eddi|zuHause3> path between the intermediate tiles
19:14:06  <Eddi|zuHause3> but you loose accuracy there
19:14:09  <Phazorx> i got that part already tho - running game with -D will do 1000 tiicks right ?
19:14:30  <Rubidium> no, it will start the dedicated server
19:14:36  <glx> no -v null does that
19:14:55  <glx> and it's configurable no
19:14:57  <Phazorx> ahh good thanks
19:15:00  <glx> *now
19:15:13  <Phazorx> "now" ?
19:15:32  <Rubidium> yes, since a few revs
19:15:53  <Eddi|zuHause3> what i mean, if you have a spot (x0,y0) and a spot (xend,yend), you choose a spot in [x0-delta,x0+delta]x[y0-delta,y0+delta] that is nearest to the target
19:16:07  <Eddi|zuHause3> then calculate a route
19:16:14  <Eddi|zuHause3> and move on from there
19:16:22  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause3: that is the worst kind of pathfinding you can do
19:16:51  <Eddi|zuHause3> lower delta means less accuracy and for large detours you do not find existing routes anymore
19:18:07  <Eddi|zuHause3> yes, i said it is not really optimal
19:18:18  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause3: the strength of pathfinding is that is finds non-trivial paths that are cheapests and setting some waypoint in exactly the middle between two places can make it the worst possible route
19:18:31  <Eddi|zuHause3> but you can reduce load that way
19:23:03  <Eddi|zuHause3> you can also try it differently, calculate a cost for each spot in [x0-delta,x0+delta]x[y0-delta,y0+delta] depending on the basic cost and the distance to travel, then choose the best spot out of those
19:23:14  <Phazorx> hmm... is it normal that profiling too like 3 sek ?
19:23:47  <Eddi|zuHause3> works best if you do that from both ends
19:23:48  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause3: just use A*
19:24:16  <TrueBrain> basicly comes down to the same, only a bit more clever and less CPU-intensive
19:24:25  <Eddi|zuHause3> TrueBrain: but we already use A*, it is too intensive
19:24:33  <TrueBrain> is it really? :)
19:24:36  <TrueBrain> depends on the job
19:24:53  <Eddi|zuHause3> it is fine for rail networks
19:25:12  <Eddi|zuHause3> but not for lakes, or trackbuilding, where you have too many options
19:25:33  <TrueBrain> it for example works best for AI pathfinding
19:25:45  <TrueBrain> but what you describe is very close to A*, just A* takes less CPU then you method :)
19:25:57  <Phazorx> weird... it take 50% CPU if running but profiling is extrimly quick
19:26:49  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: YAPF is A* on steroids
19:27:00  <TrueBrain> yup
19:27:05  <TrueBrain> most of all: segment caching
19:27:09  <Eddi|zuHause3> one could try to build up caching information for the map
19:27:39  <Eddi|zuHause3> the problem is, water or clear land has no segments to cache
19:28:05  <Phazorx> profile run in 1.22 sek :/ anyway that's the one that hogs Brianetta's server now... anyone feel like taking a loook at it ?
19:28:26  <TrueBrain> Phazorx: 'profile run in ..'... it very much depends on how you run your profile
19:28:40  <TrueBrain> there is not one prototype for that, so you are a bit vague to me
19:28:52  <Phazorx> TrueBrain: openttd -vnull -G profile.sav
19:28:52  <Eddi|zuHause3> so to find a path from A to B on the map requires you to search almost the entire map, not just the tiles between A and B
19:28:59  <TrueBrain> Phazorx: run -vnull:ticks=10000
19:29:01  <TrueBrain> or something
19:29:03  <Phazorx> http://paste.openttd.org/171
19:29:04  <TrueBrain> make sure it runs for 30+ seconds
19:29:19  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause3: why?

19:30:02  <TrueBrain> Phazorx: as long as md5_process is in your top5, you didn't run the profiling long enough
19:30:07  <Eddi|zuHause3> TrueBrain: imagine A and B in opposite corners of the map, map almost completely water
19:30:10  <TrueBrain> (it is an initializiation function)
19:30:19  <Eddi|zuHause3> just a straigt bit of land in the middle blocking the path
19:30:40  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause3: of course there are extremum, but for example A* ignores on average 98.6% of the map
19:30:50  <Phazorx> TrueBrain: i figured there was soemthing fishy about it
19:31:01  <TrueBrain> (of course it happens that it scane 100% of the map, but mostly it is pretty fast ;))
19:31:07  <Rubidium> Phazorx: -G ?
19:31:19  <Phazorx> -g
19:31:45  <Eddi|zuHause3> and the real problems start when there is no path
19:31:50  <TrueBrain> yup
19:32:02  <TrueBrain> but that is a problem for any pathfinder of any kind :)
19:32:19  <TrueBrain> for it to be 100% sure there is no path, it needs to check all tiles in some cases
19:32:30  <TrueBrain> no, never 100%
19:32:35  <Eddi|zuHause3> but you could build up a cache of connected components at the beginning of the game
19:32:56  <Eddi|zuHause3> updates of that cache should usually be local
19:32:59  <TrueBrain> at least 4 tiles aren't checked, as they block the route to the place (a corner tile blocked with what ever)

19:58:04  <Phazorx> hmm... what is it caching ?
19:58:09  <SmatZ> Rubidium: not exactly what I want :(
19:58:16  <Rubidium> for example the return value of CargoList::Count() const
19:59:15  <Belugas> [15:57] <Rubidium> SmatZ: go to the US and shoot a cop, then you'll get "time" for free  <--- pay attention on which state you'll do that.  You may find eternity instead of some free time;)
19:59:15  <Rubidium> Phazorx: and you've got a gazillion of cargo packets and it's increasing fast
19:59:41  <Phazorx> Rubidium: so i read it as "more cargo waiting" slower it runs ?
19:59:44  <Rubidium> the "only" solution is capping the amount of cargo packets per list
19:59:48  <Rubidium> Phazorx: yes
19:59:55  <Rubidium> so it must be capped somewhere
20:00:00  <Phazorx> capped?
20:00:15  <Eddi|zuHause3> limited
20:00:17  <Rubidium> like max waiting cargo = 25000 pieces or so
20:00:44  <Phazorx> well i tihnk it would be better if soemone would care about exporting these goods rather than accumulatiing
20:00:48  <Phazorx> kidna the game point there
20:01:34  <Rubidium> then start doing so, otherwise the game will become even more slow
20:01:40  <TrueBrain> lol
20:01:43  <TrueBrain> that is the penality to pay
20:01:50  <TrueBrain> get the cargo out of there, or the game becomes REALLY slow :p
20:01:58  <Eddi|zuHause3> haha :p
20:02:03  <TrueBrain> (giving you more time to get the cargo out of there? :p)
20:02:12  <TrueBrain> we should make a button: trash cargo
20:02:16  <TrueBrain> where you can trash cargo of a station
20:02:36  <Rubidium> *but* this means that someone can trash a server by building a station that only accumulates cargo
20:02:48  <TrueBrain> capping sounds like a good idea :)
20:03:02  <SmatZ> Rubidium: not exactly what I want :(
20:03:07  <SmatZ> errr sorry
20:03:12  <SmatZ> bad window
20:03:13  <Eddi|zuHause3> no, freight stations need warehouses for waiting cargo
20:03:26  <TrueBrain> make the cap-amount a patch option :)
20:03:33  <Phazorx> Rubidium: i tihnk this will be rectiofied in a different manner with new industries
20:03:38  <Phazorx> where you have stockpile caps ?
20:03:41  <Eddi|zuHause3> you can have small/medium/big warehouses for 1000/5000/20000 cargo
20:04:00  <Rubidium> a big warehouse of passengers
20:04:05  <Rubidium> hahaha ;)
20:04:06  <TrueBrain> :) Lol!
20:04:12  <TrueBrain> stocked :)
20:04:23  <Rubidium> 'cause Phazorx' game is almost completely passenger based
20:04:34  <Eddi|zuHause3> those are called "waiting halls" :p
20:04:36  <TrueBrain> let them die when they wait too long
20:04:48  <SmatZ> :-D
20:04:49  <Phazorx> it;s not almost
20:04:51  <Phazorx> it is completely
20:04:57  <Phazorx> there are 4 industries on the map
20:05:00  <Phazorx> and that are untouched
20:05:18  <Rubidium> hmm
20:05:40  <Phazorx> it looks nice tho
20:05:51  <Eddi|zuHause3> i always suggested additional non-track station buildings
20:05:53  <Phazorx> 5 towns, totla pop 1.5M :)
20:06:00  <Rubidium> I think we should make the "cargo dissappear from stations" function in such a manner that after a certain amount of cargo the amount that disappears increases exponentially or so
20:06:17  <Phazorx> Rubidium: with seevere rating and authorities penalty
20:06:20  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: do cargo packets keep track how long cargo is waiting?
20:06:24  <Eddi|zuHause3> like water refill sections for steam engines (can only travel limited amount of tiles without reaching a refill station)
20:06:28  <Rubidium> not on stations
20:06:42  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: maybe we should, and kill cargo that stays too long (with a chance of course)
20:06:51  <Eddi|zuHause3> or transformator stations, which can support x electric engines in the region
20:07:00  <SmatZ> cargo packets are being merged to reduce their number (afaik)
20:07:25  <Rubidium> SmatZ: yes, but till a max size of 65535 "items" per packet
20:07:28  <Eddi|zuHause3> SmatZ: each cargo packet can only hold 32k cargo
20:07:36  <Eddi|zuHause3> if he has 1M waiting that will not help
20:08:05  <SmatZ> yes, that's true - but it is the reason why cargo won't age ... only groups of 32/64k of cargo
20:08:28  <SmatZ> then, let die all of 32/64k passangers at once... :-x
20:08:29  <TrueBrain> changing that is very simple of course
20:09:20  <SmatZ> TrueBrain: won't it lead in hundreds of thousands cargo packets, each with 1-5 passangers?
20:09:51  <TrueBrain> possible, yes
20:09:55  <TrueBrain> but most likely it won't
20:10:02  <SmatZ> well, they can die slowly... like the radioactive things do
20:10:04  <TrueBrain> you can for example merge packets in groups of 5 days

20:16:19  <Rubidium> hmm, that method kinda sucks though
20:16:54  <Rubidium> doing that on unloading/transfers makes that code more complex and places the code in two places
20:18:28  <Rubidium> unless
20:18:40  <SmatZ> well it could be if (incoming->from == here) incoming >>= ...
20:19:10  <Rubidium> yes, but then you still get the same problem
20:19:29  <Rubidium> with unloading vehicles you can still flood the station and slow down the game considerably
20:20:43  <SmatZ> on one hand you do not want to remove stuff while it is on loading/unloading station, on the other you know it may be used to slow down the game when done intentionally
20:21:20  <SmatZ> it is hard to decide :(
20:22:42  <SmatZ> including aging for cargo packets would mean calling some procedure for all the cargo packets every tick/day ...
20:23:07  <SmatZ> I don't know anything about it, so I won't speak about it :) sorry
20:24:21  <Rubidium> yes, but the current "age" of packets doesn't tell anything about the time at the station

22:16:42  <Eddi|zuHause3> you should not have bumps on the road
22:16:48  <Eddi|zuHause3> only next to the road
22:17:32  <Eddi|zuHause3> and you should align trees to the bumps :)
22:18:57  <Wolf01> i'll make the roads like these: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=98473
22:20:28  <Eddi|zuHause3> hm, i remember that lego roads were grey
22:20:34  <Eddi|zuHause3> not black
22:20:47  <Ailure> heh
22:20:48  <Wolf01> these are built by little pieces
22:20:51  <Ailure> I found something funny
22:20:58  <Ailure> if you use newGRF's on your titlescreen
22:21:02  <Ailure> and change newGRF settings
22:21:11  <Ailure> everything defaults to orginal graphics
22:21:21  <Ailure> which means that some trains get stuck as their engine is replaced by a wagon
22:21:55  <Eddi|zuHause3> what do you mean by changing newgrfs of the title?
22:22:34  <Eddi|zuHause3> you mean that newgrf changes from the menu affect the title screen game?
22:22:56  <Digitalfox_Desktop> TT Forums are down.. maintenance :(

22:24:23  <Rubidium> maybe it becomes faster ;)
22:26:12  <Digitalfox_Desktop> Lets hope so :) But actually  i don't notice a lot of slow down in TT Forums.. Actually are one of the fastest forums i go to.. :)
22:26:38  <TrueBrain> might be the hardware pumping behind it :p
22:27:30  <glx> Ailure: yes it's because action F grfs
22:27:43  <Thomas[NL]> it gets migrated to PHPBB3
22:28:50  <glx> they need to be always initialised so all other grfs are initialised too (but not fully loaded) and that removes all grfs that could be in title screen
22:30:28  <DaleStan> Indeed. Well, pbpBB 3 rc3, AIUI.

23:18:35  <CIA-1> OpenTTD: [NoAI] -Add: finished all AIVehicle commands for non-RVs
23:19:57  <TrueBrain> tada! Now people can make profitable airlines in their AI!
23:19:58  <TrueBrain> joy joy!
23:21:41  <SmatZ> good work :) I am really looking forward for some playable AI competitors ;)
23:22:09  <TrueBrain> create one ;)
23:23:14  <SmatZ> there are already some projects ... or at least were, so I hope they are still in development :)
23:24:41  <Ailure> ok
23:24:44  <Ailure> this is odd
23:24:50  <TrueBrain> SmatZ: so do I :)
23:24:54  <Ailure> I have a rather long bridge
23:25:06  <Ailure> sometimes thye signals ignore the train on the bridge
23:25:11  <SmatZ> :-) developing AI seems very hard...
23:25:12  <Ailure> resulted just into a crash now
23:25:21  <TrueBrain> it aint easy, that's for sure

23:25:39  <SmatZ> Ailure: it is a known bug sorry :( http://bugs.openttd.org/task/1030
23:25:52  <Ailure> ok
23:26:09  <SmatZ> the patch might solve the problem, but peter is probably doing some revision of the code
23:26:36  <Eddi|zuHause2> wasn't there some "vehicles could not crash on bridges" commit recently?
23:26:43  <TrueBrain> night all
23:26:47  <Ailure> hmm
23:27:00  <SmatZ> Eddi|zuHause2: it is a different problem
23:27:05  <SmatZ> TrueBrain: night
23:27:15  <Ailure> heh
23:27:18  <Ailure> now it happened again
23:27:20  <Ailure> oh well
23:27:24  <Ailure> at least I work around the problem
23:27:26  <SmatZ> even with the patch?
23:27:28  <Ailure> by making that bridge one way
23:27:33  <Ailure> risky, but eh
23:27:41  <Ailure> the trains runs on the same speed
23:27:45  <Ailure> it shouldn't cause a crash
23:27:47  <Ailure> and breakdowns are off
23:27:51  <SmatZ> :-)
23:28:17  <Belugas> ho... DaleStan is back ! Welcome back among us Dalestan :)
23:28:26  <SmatZ> ho ho ho! :)
23:29:11  <DaleStan> Thanks.
23:34:42  <Ailure> I love when that happens
23:34:47  <Ailure> now the bug is purely beneficial :)
23:34:50  <Ailure> (it's a long bridge)
