00:00:11  <SmatZ> SineDeviance: see the archive ;) http://www.openttdcoop.org/wiki/PublicServer:Archive_-_Games_121_-_130
00:00:21  <SmatZ> SineDeviance: :-)
00:00:21  <SineDeviance> that game was running on a 3.2ghz p4 prescott and 1gig of ram and was getting slow
00:00:49  <Yexo> well, a 2048x2048 map is 4 times as big as a 1024x1024 map
00:03:20  <SineDeviance> SmatZ, yeah those openttdcoop guys are insane
00:03:40  <SineDeviance> honestly i find their designs are more pretty than practical

00:04:51  <Eddi|zuHause> did you look at other coop games than i did?
00:05:08  <SineDeviance> Eddi|zuHause, such as?
00:05:23  <Yexo> more pretty than practical? That's the first time I've heard that said about openttdcoop designs
00:05:39  <Eddi|zuHause> "pretty" is not the association that i would get
00:05:59  <SineDeviance> Yexo, well... i've played on openttdcoop a few times and it seems like it's mostly about tying up the network
00:06:14  <SineDeviance> that's all well and good but i prefer to make the most profit in the shortest amount of time. the network can come later
00:06:56  <KenjiE20> you can run anything smooth pretty much
00:07:09  <KenjiE20> whether or not your clients can connect is something else :P
00:07:21  <SineDeviance> yeah bandwidth
00:08:43  <SineDeviance> KenjiE20, you have any of those savegames/autosaves from the BuF nightly server?
00:09:09  <KenjiE20> there still in that thread thing in the groups on BuF
00:09:16  <Yexo> SineDeviance: profit is way too easy, running a network with as many trains as possible is much more fun
00:09:37  <SineDeviance> Yexo, i agree, but it's good to have enough money to build that network too :D
00:09:44  <KenjiE20> Moneymakers
00:09:50  <SineDeviance> my favorite thing is goods lines
00:09:58  <Yexo> sure, but with a few well-chosen train lines money is no problem anymore
00:10:11  <SineDeviance> i like to get as much raw resource as possible going to a factory then offload all of it to large cities
00:10:14  <KenjiE20> or a nice long distance air pax
00:10:40  <SineDeviance> i love having trains that make 10 mil a year profit
00:10:44  <SineDeviance> longt trains too :D
00:10:47  <SineDeviance> long* even
00:12:44  <SineDeviance> KenjiE20, you are the man :D
00:13:09  <KenjiE20> i've been trying to tell people that for years, but noooo..
00:13:10  <KenjiE20> :P
00:13:14  <SineDeviance> haha
00:13:43  <SmatZ> :)
00:14:00  * SmatZ likes air routes for MM too... if town growth is disabled :-P
00:14:09  <KenjiE20> hehe
00:17:45  <SineDeviance> KenjiE20, these are all the saves right?
00:17:53  <KenjiE20> pretty much
00:18:04  <SineDeviance> darn :( well thanks anyways :D
00:18:06  <KenjiE20> i think one or two went missing
00:18:29  <KenjiE20> well iirc one that no one played and one before we started autosaving
00:18:39  <SineDeviance> yeah
00:18:39  <SmatZ> hmm someone said he has PSG#135 save...
00:18:50  <KenjiE20> smatz; really?
00:18:52  <KenjiE20> cool
00:18:53  *** HerzogDeXtEr [~Flex@89.246.165.31] has joined #openttd
00:18:54  <SineDeviance> the one before the autosaves is probably the one im looking for
00:18:59  <SmatZ> KenjiE20: yeah, but long time ago :(
00:19:07  <SineDeviance> yea
00:19:14  <KenjiE20> wasn't boothy nubkins was it?
00:19:19  <SmatZ> hehehe
00:25:02  <SineDeviance> well i started a new map 1024x1024. we'll see how it runs after a while :D

00:25:36  <glx> the main problem with big maps is people taking too much time to log in
00:25:53  <KenjiE20> ^
00:25:58  <glx> so you may see a bunch of join/kick
00:26:23  <SineDeviance> i see
00:26:25  <KenjiE20> tends to be reasonable up to about 600+ trains
00:26:52  <glx> because when someone joins, it must perform all commands issued during the download in a short time
00:28:04  <glx> commands include vehicle movement, and all other state changes
00:28:39  <SmatZ> the game is paused... during download? (if enabled)
00:28:59  <glx> it's paused only when the sync phase IIRC
00:29:04  <KenjiE20> ^ yea
00:29:16  <KenjiE20> at least that's how I've noticed it
00:29:43  <glx> imagine if someone needs 5 minutes to download the save
00:31:39  * glx checks the source to be sure
00:33:00  <glx> yes it's paused once the client got the map
00:33:22  <SmatZ> ok :)
00:33:39  <Aali> can you make it pause during the entire download?
00:34:50  <KenjiE20> what if someone decides to cancel during, the game would just pause randomly all the time?
00:35:15  <glx> and I heard the download stall for some crappy wifi routers
00:36:04  <Aali> it's a simple question but sure, go ahead and spew criticism instead :P
00:36:16  <glx> Aali: it's very easy to write a client to block server :)
00:36:39  <Aali> I think it would it be nice to have as an option
00:36:57  <SmatZ> timeout is certainly needed
00:37:10  <SmatZ> there has to be timeout in current trunk anyway
00:38:43  <KenjiE20> that's the train
00:38:46  <KenjiE20> whoops
00:38:56  <Aali> you can do all sorts of nasty stuff already
00:38:58  <SmatZ> maybe the timeout to drop a client could be made longer for newly connected clients
00:39:02  <SmatZ> KenjiE20: indeed
00:39:12  <Aali> but for trusted networks where you want to make sure noone drops it would be okay
00:40:01  <glx> ,...,...,...,...\/* Set the status to DONE_MAP, no we will wait for the client
00:40:01  <glx> ,...,...,...,... *  to send it is ready (maybe that happens like never ;)) */
00:40:21  <glx> the comment tells there's no timeout
00:40:39  <SmatZ> hmm
00:41:07  <Aali> there's obivously a timeout since people drop if they're not fast enough ;)
00:41:16  <Aali> *obviously
00:41:30  <glx> not for the download I think
00:42:03  <SmatZ> Aali: not that obviously, maybe they fail to execute packets they received during "catching up" in time
00:42:31  <Aali> say what?
00:42:53  <Aali> glx: oh, thats what you were talking about, I see

00:43:49  <KenjiE20> aali, so you mean like a whitelist for clients it's okay to wait a bit longer to 'turbo' up to the current point from the save?
00:44:31  <Aali> KenjiE20: no I mean it would be okay to pause during download on some servers
00:44:58  <Aali> so you don't have to deal with the catch-up phase at all
00:45:01  <glx> never trust clients

07:27:54  <Pizen> is there some special thing I need to do to english.txt? Building from trunk works fine, but just opening and saving that file makes the language generation fail
07:28:08  <Pizen> it should be noted I am using windows
07:29:31  <Rubidium> use an editor that doesn't add a BOM to the language file maybe?
07:29:38  <Pizen> yeah, I just did and it worked
07:29:49  <Pizen> yet another reason to loathe notepad

07:38:56  <Pizen> shush!
07:39:07  <Pizen> also good morning!
07:39:27  <Pizen> hmm, a friend has asked me to try battlefield 2142. So far I am not impressed
07:46:28  <planetmaker> yes. OpenTTD is more adicting ;)
07:59:13  <Pizen> indeed
07:59:25  <Pizen> except its effect on my dreaming is a bit disturbing
07:59:26  <Pizen> >>
08:00:14  <Noldo> I remember I stopped playing Popylous 3 when the little men came to my dreams
08:00:26  <Pizen> that's "The Beginning" one, right?
08:00:57  <Pizen> I used to play that one - not so much as to start dreaming about it though
08:05:20  <Pizen> hmm, if hosting a multiplayer game with, say, a "no random opening of industries" patch ... do both the client and server need that, or just the server?
08:09:22  <petern> if it's a patch, both need it
08:09:43  <petern> if it's a grf, er, both need it too, but that's simpler to arrange
08:14:09  <z-MaTRiX> brb
08:14:22  <Pizen> well, I was just led to some client-only patches yesterday
08:14:51  <Pizen> and thought that maybe only the person doing the maths needed it
08:17:23  <Noldo> openttd simulation is run on the server and all the clients parallel
08:17:33  <Noldo> random events are part of that simulation
08:18:02  <petern> simulation?
08:19:04  *** z-MaTRiX [~matrix@nude.lesbianbath.com] has quit [Quit: rehashing]
08:19:18  <planetmaker> Pizen, : client-only patches are patches which do not affect the game.
08:19:55  <planetmaker> E.g. some patches which only add features to the graphical interface (like improved sorting, re-arranging buttons and window contents)
08:21:07  <planetmaker> But no features in terms of what is available, what can be done in general, how any object (vehicles, industries, towns,...) in the game behave.
08:21:42  <planetmaker> those patches are - if they're clean and propper - safe for use on an unpatched server.

10:40:39  <Pizen> quite alright, thanks
10:40:45  <planetmaker> Pizen, care to add it, there, Pizen?
10:40:52  <Pizen> you're part of openttdcoop
10:41:24  <Pizen> sure, but
10:41:50  <dragonhorseboy> doing ok here..just got up :P heh
10:41:59  <dragonhorseboy> which country you from pizen? canada here
10:41:59  <Pizen> how?
10:42:07  <Pizen> oh, Denmark. 12:41 here
10:42:13  <Pizen> I got up about 5 hours ago though

10:42:38  <planetmaker> Pizen, you just click on "new issue" and add fill in your bug report :)
10:42:54  <dragonhorseboy> pizen you ever gone to watch your real trains? just asking
10:43:11  <Pizen> planetmaker, I need to register first
10:43:22  <Pizen> dragonhorseboy, every time I am at the station
10:43:26  *** Xyzzy [c40fc9c9@webchat.mibbit.com] has joined #openttd
10:43:33  <Pizen> which, incidentally, is the second largest in the country
10:43:53  <dragonhorseboy> pizen I've seen a variety of them in magazines and websites .. I still think these old GM-built NoHab's are some interesting vintage locomotives
10:43:58  <Pizen> I ran around drawing maps of the tracks of the entire place last year
10:44:30  <Pizen> oh, older trains... Not really, it's not something I am especially interested in - well, not more than most others, anyway
10:44:47  <dragonhorseboy> there's just something about a carbody diesel with cabs at both ends (compared to north america where 99% of them are either single cab or booster units .. 1% being one particular fallen flag actually had a few E units with cabs at both ends)
10:44:47  <Pizen> we had an old locomotive just outside my flat the last place I lived, though ... let me see if I can find it
10:44:59  * Pizen is clueless
10:45:37  *** reldred [~reldred@115.131.194.20] has joined #openttd
10:45:52  <dragonhorseboy> pizen but either way most of the magazine sources I have is 'today's railway: europe' issues .. they often take 2-4 weeks to finally show up at the local magazine stores here but I don't really care as its better than nothing
10:46:16  <dragonhorseboy> its the only magazine I can find for anything trains *outside* north america .. so go figure with that :p
10:46:35  <planetmaker> hm... No anonymous bug reports? hm... I'll discuss that. You could, of course, register and become a regular tester of e.g. that train set and maybe also OpenGFX :)
10:46:51  <Pizen> are you handling opengfx as well?
10:46:52  <planetmaker> For the latter we just think of implementing something like a nightly build
10:47:15  <Pizen> well, I am contemplating getting seriously into OpenTTD as more than just a player
10:47:16  <planetmaker> That repository is on that server, too, yes.
10:47:18  <dragonhorseboy> pizen just asking what you're clueless on?
10:47:30  <Pizen> most of what you said about those locomotives ^^;
10:48:50  <Pizen> planetmaker, sounds awesome. OpenGFX was the very first project I really cared for
10:49:01  <dragonhorseboy> pizen..heh well 'carbody' was often the name for these earlier streamlined diesels (as the body was built in similar frame manner like your road car so) .. and 'booster' is just basically a whole locomotive but sometimes with no cabs (or existing one boarded up) so basically its mu-ed to another unit
10:49:05  <dragonhorseboy> hope that helped you
10:49:08  <Pizen> anyway, adding the issue now
10:49:26  <Pizen> hmm, a bit
10:49:34  <planetmaker> we as openttdcoop try to provide an easy-to-use environment for community projects... so in a certain way I might have hands in all the projects listed there... as I'm one of the server admins.
10:49:49  <Pizen> I see
10:49:50  <dragonhorseboy> pizen even some north america railroading terms escape me at times too tho so you're not alone in being clueless :->
10:49:55  <planetmaker> Pizen, then it's a good time to start with OpenGFX now :)
10:50:02  <Pizen> =)
10:50:14  <Pizen> well, I have been lurking around the openttdcoop wiki for quite some time
10:50:21  <planetmaker> We just made the sources available there - and additional developers / contributors on that project are highly welcome
10:50:21  <Pizen> even had a look at some of the save games
10:50:33  <dragonhorseboy> pizen here's one I do know tho... "soak her!' steam era quote re to plug up the brakes and dump sand as hard as it can go
10:50:52  <dragonhorseboy> not sure why they used these two particular words but what do I know
10:51:05  <planetmaker> And regardless what OS you have you should in principle now be able to build the current status of OpenGFX :)
10:51:43  <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker just so i get it right.. opengfx was the base graphic replacement to the point it'll finally not need ttdx files anymore right?
10:51:54  <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy, yes, exactly
10:52:14  <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker I looked at some of that threads before for some sprites but hadn't looked for several months now
10:52:23  <dragonhorseboy> hey reldred you around? :)
10:52:45  <Pizen> planetmaker, great - I intend to be on linux again shortly. As soon as I get my laptop back, in fact.
10:52:56  <Pizen> Right now I've just barely set up this computer for building openttd
10:53:09  <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy, we just made yesterday an up2date list on what is missing and added it to our bug tracker so we really have everything missing or buggy at a glance now
10:53:29  <planetmaker> Pizen, if you can build openttd you basically have everything you need
10:53:36  <planetmaker> for grf development, too
10:53:56  <planetmaker> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/2cctrainset/files <-- grab renum and grfcodec and you're set.
10:54:00  <Pizen> "where do i put patch file to make work with openttd resources!!"
10:54:05  <planetmaker> (add them to your search path, though)
10:54:05  <Pizen> sorry about that
10:54:13  <planetmaker> hehe :)
10:54:18  <dragonhorseboy> pizen roughly how large is the station like..re the one you go to?  the one nearest here is basically a 2-floor-tall boxy building with a decent hall+seating space .. facing six 8cars-long (I guess?) tracks although usually only one or two are actually ever used
10:54:21  <Pizen> woah woah, relax now
10:54:35  <Pizen> I'm not just going to jump in and start developing. As said, not before I get my proper computer back
10:55:01  <Pizen> not that big. It's about ... 12 tracks, I think, no idea how long
10:55:02  <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker where's the up2date list out of curiousity?
10:55:07  <Pizen> let me find a top-down
10:55:23  <dragonhorseboy> pizen not a large city over there neither?
10:55:41  <Pizen> it's the third largest city in Denmark
10:55:46  <Pizen> not that that makes it large =P
10:55:50  <planetmaker> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/opengfx/issues <-- @ dragonhorseboy
10:55:50  <dragonhorseboy> ah...heh
10:56:03  <planetmaker> you can filter by bug, feature (missing graphics etc) and other stuff
10:56:21  <dragonhorseboy> ah ok

10:56:49  <Pizen> horrible quality though
10:56:53  <dragonhorseboy> how often are you cracking openttd yourself planetmaker? (well..not literally..you know :p )
10:57:03  <planetmaker> you mean, compiling the source?
10:57:18  <dragonhorseboy> compile...making sprites..whatever ;)
10:57:32  <planetmaker> depends. Now that I started with 2cctrainset and OpenGFX it, of course, cuts on medding with the code of OpenTTD itself
10:57:34  <dragonhorseboy> pizen heh turntable next to station .. thats quite rare over the ocean here
10:57:58  *** Singaporekid [~notme@cm198.psi148.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #openttd
10:58:56  <Pizen> I wouldn't know about that
10:59:09  <planetmaker> but OpenGFX is IMO important. It'd be really cool, if OpenTTD could ship with a full set of base graphics :) - no need for all those "where are those files?" questions :)
10:59:19  <dragonhorseboy> pizen I would had rather liked that station a lot more than any that i can find within 200km from here :|
10:59:24  <Pizen> yes, exactly the reason I cared for it
10:59:32  <dragonhorseboy> even if the turntable is dead..who the hell care...its nice for photoing at times :D
10:59:35  <Pizen> insisting that we use it =D
10:59:47  <Pizen> dragonhorseboy, =/
11:00:12  <Pizen> anyway, I'm in the middle of a game
11:00:13  <dragonhorseboy> pizen..I've got a few photos of turntables with humans on them (humans instead of trains...thats the little joke there) :)
11:00:24  <Pizen> wroom
11:01:00  <dragonhorseboy> planetmaker stupid question but would opengfx also resolve the replacement of sample.cat? (I never had any clue whatever that one file was for)
11:01:06  <Pizen> no, that's sound
11:01:18  <planetmaker> ^^
11:01:20  <dragonhorseboy> oh... I thought sound was the other files in gm folder
11:01:46  <Pizen> well, I hope I can help making OpenTTD available for the masses for free
11:01:50  <dragonhorseboy> because it was erroring if I didn't have sample.cat so I assumed it was to do with graphics
11:02:06  <Pizen> well the game needs sounds as well =)
11:02:06  *** KenjiE20 [~KenjiE20@92.2.88.233] has joined #openttd
11:02:26  <dragonhorseboy> even with the sound settings disabled?
11:02:28  <dragonhorseboy> :P
11:03:32  <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy, it needs a sample.cat file. But the size of the file may be 0 bytes :)
11:03:55  <planetmaker> it contains the default sounds for trains, horns, choppers etc pp
11:03:58  <dragonhorseboy> either way how often both of you play openttd (and if you have them.. ttdx(p) too)
11:04:07  <dragonhorseboy> :)
11:04:51  <planetmaker> hm... meddle around with and play are completely different things :). I don't have TTDP running though (though I probably have it somewhere)
11:04:55  <Pizen> well, lately it's been quite a few hours every day. I created a nearly empty 512x512 scenario, and am having fun with cargodist
11:05:05  <planetmaker> I guess I look at it in some way daily :)
11:05:10  <dragonhorseboy> heh
11:06:46  <dragonhorseboy> well some good time ago I used to play openttd multiplayer a bit every few days aside to random ttdx-arctic and all three climates in the patch (temperate was usually german-russia based tho, dbsetxl etc) ....
11:07:10  <Pizen> actually, that turntable is part of the museum
11:07:34  <Pizen> well, I play multiplayer when I find people who want to play
11:07:59  <Pizen> I am a bit of a perfectionist though, so it can be quite difficult playing with me
11:08:10  <dragonhorseboy> now I've pretty much only got a single modified ttdx folder alone to play once in a while at times pretty much (openttd? was having enough trouble even getting anything above 053 to behave at all so deciding multiplayer wasn't really worth it I just kinda forgot about it for most part)
11:08:12  <planetmaker> dragonhorseboy, if I actually *play* openttd, it's on one of the coop servers, though. There are only very few exceptions to that rule :)
11:08:25  <dragonhorseboy> no offense meant on what I said of course ;)
11:09:13  <planetmaker> I join once a week or so our servers for longer than just having a short look what's going on.
11:10:44  <dragonhorseboy> I still sorta remember hosting two openttd-miniin servers once (one was with peter+sacro included, heh that was a bit of fun for as long as it lasted)
11:10:58  <dragonhorseboy> diagonal crossing, shared trackage rights, etc .. meh too much fun with these aspects
11:11:34  <dragonhorseboy> was a bit amusing to watch two different colours of trains running on one single 2-line mainline
11:12:25  <dragonhorseboy> have no idea where to find the mini-in's to download anymore for some time tho :|
11:12:32  <Pizen> yeah, stuff like that is why I don't find myself on some of the multiplayer servers
11:12:39  <Pizen> dragonhorseboy, they're discontinued
11:13:04  <dragonhorseboy> pizen 'discontinued' as in "we wiped all existence of it out"?
11:13:35  <dragonhorseboy> and pizen actually its not that bad..you just have to be willing to use the ingame chat feature to talk with other players about what to share and what not to
11:14:16  <dragonhorseboy> although one annoying bug was you couldn't delete a track stub of yours own if it was on a straight piece of another player's
11:14:41  <dragonhorseboy> so eg if you added a switch then later deleted the line .. the switch stub itself was still there unless the owner player removed it him/herself
11:15:08  <Pizen> dragonhorseboy, I meant
11:15:20  <dragonhorseboy> if I had known the mini-in build was going to be wiped off the web I would had not deleted my folder but aw well
11:15:21  <Pizen> I _want_ stuff like that, stuff like cargodist
11:15:30  <Pizen> oh I think they're still there somewhere
11:15:37  <dragonhorseboy> oh heh
11:15:40  <Pizen> stuff like infrastructure sharing
11:15:43  <dragonhorseboy> btw whats cargodist so I don't get confused?
11:15:49  <Pizen> it's the new cargodest =P
11:15:55  <dragonhorseboy> cargodest?
11:15:58  <Pizen> http://wiki.openttd.org/Passenger_and_cargo_distribution
11:16:02  <Pizen> that's cargodist
11:16:25  <Pizen> cargo and passengers have specific destinations instead of just wanting you to take them anywhere
11:16:51  <KingJ> Makes the game much more fun
11:17:08  <dragonhorseboy> hmm pizen I wouldn't like to ever play one bit with that but then to our own
11:17:29  <dragonhorseboy> I usually lay my express line more for aethestic reasons and re watching certain consists
11:18:28  *** fonsinchen [~alve@BAEce56.bae.pppool.de] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
11:18:46  <dragonhorseboy> so eg if its a tiny town then its just a 2-tiles platform with an old dmu serving it verus a large city having well-signalled stub station with all these fancy long trains heading in and out of the junction
11:19:05  <dragonhorseboy> and the city stations often have 'wait for full load' on :)
11:19:47  <KingJ> Cargodist encourages me to build large networks linking every town, and having appropriate capacity on linking lines, hub stations etc
11:20:32  <Pizen> same, same
11:20:49  *** jpm_ [~pekka@kone.suomen4g.fi] has joined #openttd
11:20:49  <dragonhorseboy> kingj I don't find any point in hubs (all the track and signalling mess they cause mainly) .. I often deal with more or less linear networks (so sometimes the city station could actually be made up of two seperate networks where the only thing shared is the station name
11:20:57  <Pizen> I build for aesthetic reasons as well. But actually having passengers travel from place to place without me forcing them to transfer
11:21:12  <dragonhorseboy> I always create a ton of 2-stations-only lines both for freight and passengers
11:21:18  <dragonhorseboy> figured
11:21:48  <Pizen> it also gives me a reason to build metro networks =)
11:21:58  <KingJ> http://files.uploadffs.com/8/90f38b7f/UK_Ultraspeed_29th_Sep_2073.png - That's one of the hubs from my current game, linking 4 lines together
11:22:41  <Pizen> but I think for me, the most important aspect is efficiency. I _never_ make any turns that slow down my trains
11:22:52  <KingJ> Neither do I
11:23:01  <Pizen> usually I just use 8 wagons though, so it's not that difficult
11:23:19  <KingJ> I have 10, including power car
11:23:28  <dragonhorseboy> and beside the way it goes is..if you want to get from the city to the little coastline town you'll have to just wait for the infrequent old lone dmu to finally coast into the station .. want go from NE city to S city? rush to catch that Oriental Express doubleheaded train before it runs away till next one comes back 'in several weeks')
11:23:40  <dragonhorseboy> :)
11:23:48  <KingJ> heh
11:24:17  <dragonhorseboy> and if you're wondering why its doubleheaded..thats because usually its eg two BR112 with at least 16-20 cars (and yes they do almost fill up the whole trains most times)
11:24:18  <KingJ> I have long lines with trains stopping at every station, but also some express trains that only stop at the larger ones
11:24:49  <dragonhorseboy> kingj..well that wouldn't quite work here because you can't fit 20 cars onto just two tiles .. hence the old short or self powered consists being assigned to that :D
11:24:49  <Pizen> ouch
11:25:35  <Pizen> I just connect up. Busses to metro stations to main stations to intercity stations
11:25:36  <dragonhorseboy> and because these little trains are often only 60-120km/h compared to 110-200km/h for the express .. thats where the requirement for seperate lines comes into play :)
11:25:47  <Pizen> well that makes sense
11:25:57  <KingJ> heh, all trains have a TL of 5 tiles, as do the stations
11:26:01  <dragonhorseboy> pizen and one more thing about that too...
11:26:17  <KingJ> But the speed issue is somewhat annoying
11:26:28  <KingJ> Which is why I always isolate freight and passenger networks

11:26:45  <dragonhorseboy> most of the little towns .. some of the good ones are wrapped around or on top of mountains so the branch line often have to make some twisting and quick bridge spans to get to their place :)
11:27:09  <dragonhorseboy> not even a place a large express train would want to try run on..not without needing too much power to be able to keep up some speed uphill
11:27:19  <KingJ> http://files.uploadffs.com/c/302cc129/UK_Ultraspeed_2nd_May_2075.png
11:27:24  <KingJ> That's the current network
11:27:38  <KingJ> The UK map is fairly flat, any hills I can climb using gradual increases
11:27:48  <dragonhorseboy> kingj..I've actually had freight and passengers mixed together then again dbsetxl have branchline passenger and modern freights running at about same top speed limit
11:28:07  <KingJ> ah
11:28:12  <KingJ> I use the UK Renewal Set
11:28:19  <dragonhorseboy> not ran any mixed's tho because its very rare that any industries are located next to towns at same time..go figure
11:28:59  <KingJ> I'd like to run mixed, the whole "one big network" concept, but without load balancing - all my lines are 2 track, one for each direction - it's not feasable
11:29:13  <dragonhorseboy> I did sometimes have a factory or so ending up within station radius and so running one train with eg engine-goods-goods-goods-mail-passenger tho (yeah the goods were the only profit earner..mail+passenger didn't even earn any $ return at all)
11:29:30  *** Zorn [~zorn@e177228184.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #openttd
11:29:44  <dragonhorseboy> often it would leave the factory/town station with say a full load of 60 goods but only 3 bags of mail and 7 passengers
11:29:46  <dragonhorseboy> you get the idea there
11:30:25  <KingJ> uhoh mixed trains
11:30:30  <KingJ> I always stay away from them
11:30:34  <dragonhorseboy> why?
11:31:00  <KingJ> No idea, I just do heh
11:31:19  <dragonhorseboy> heh ok
11:32:38  <dragonhorseboy> btw I used to try the ukrailset before but kinda started losing some interest after it was updated and then finally I just decided to drop it and leave dbsetxl as the default trainset for temperate anyway
11:33:38  <KingJ> I only use a few trains from it anyway, Pendolino for stopping trains, Eurostar for express trains
11:33:39  <dragonhorseboy> was having some difficulity with the updated version breaking too many things in older gamesaves including suddenly locomotives not being able to assist their trains anymore (mainly with between diesel pushers on underpowered dmu's)

11:35:21  <dragonhorseboy> one often example I had was hmm...let me check...
11:35:26  <Pizen> hmm, my electrical railwails cost upwards of 20 times as much to build as standard rails. Any idea what I enabled?
11:35:32  <Pizen> hiya, z-MaTRiX
11:39:45  <dragonhorseboy> cammell(front)-coach-(rear)-cammell(front)-coach-coach-(rear) on almost every single passenger lines but with two consists having a 4-4-0 Express piloting them and a third one getting a recently-sidelined 2-6-4T because otherwise they only could just crawl at 10-20km/h most of the way on two short to-town-and-back hilly lines
11:40:05  <dragonhorseboy> the updated version suddenly wouldn't let my gamesave continue with that kind of makeup anymore :/
11:41:19  <dragonhorseboy> funny enough in dbsetxl I've almost never ever seen any need to add helpers to trains because most of them are sufficently powered on their own (beside using double units on the long passenger tains like I mentioned re BR112's)

11:43:46  <dragonhorseboy> well I've found the uk dmu often not even able to make much speed over certain lines compared to older steam power
11:44:28  <dragonhorseboy> eg 2-6-4T with four coaches actually achive noticeable faster time than a single cammell with just one coach added in
11:44:48  <dragonhorseboy> hence why I often had to bank these *** dmus with ex-retired steam power :|
11:45:54  <dragonhorseboy> at least the C321's actually seem to usually have enough power themself.. i could assign them to three coaches each unit and they'll still run more or less full tilt uphill

13:05:35  <Pizen> hiya
13:05:40  <dihedral> Pizen, you dont have to provide patch files for all various line ending styles!
13:05:48  <Pizen> I do, actually
13:06:01  <Pizen> my patch won't take unix
13:06:08  <dihedral> you do not actually
13:06:16  <Pizen> but I don't want to distribute patches in DOS-format exclusively
13:06:17  <dihedral> just create an svn diff
13:06:35  <Pizen> I do, using TortoiseMerge or whatever
13:06:42  <dihedral> or use any other version controll system
13:06:58  <Pizen> the thing is, I don't want the net littered with DOS-format files
13:07:07  <dihedral> ...
13:07:13  <Pizen> yet I still need those kinds of line endings to patch on this computer
13:07:27  <dihedral> and IFF someone has an issue with the lineending, they can convert it themselves
13:07:28  <Pizen> as soon as I get my laptop up and running, expect unix-only patches
13:07:37  <dihedral> if they cannot, they should not even be patching the source
13:07:53  <Pizen> well that's true, but say 50 people need to do that. Isn't it easier if I do it once?
13:08:35  <Rubidium> just don't bother too much about the default tools for Windows
13:08:43  <Pizen> see, that's the thing
13:08:55  <Rubidium> they are (almost) all annoyingly self-centered
13:08:56  <Pizen> the patch files my diff generator gives me are DOS format

13:09:31  <Pizen> when I get back to linux, and get proper line endings by default ... well, yeah
13:09:44  <Pizen> it'd be a hassle for me to distribute both kinds
13:09:47  <glx> normal patch tools create files with \n not with \r\n
13:09:50  <Pizen> (or at least a bit of extra work)
13:09:53  <Rubidium> Pizen: who cares? My patch applies them as happily (or even more happy if 'I did CRLF->LF conversion' output counts as happy) as LF files
13:10:14  <Pizen> hah, well
13:10:16  <Rubidium> just distribute what your prefered 'diff' tools gives you
13:10:22  <Pizen> that'd be unix
13:10:22  <glx> and normal patch tools accept any valid patch (like git/hg diff)
13:10:31  <Pizen> but I'm not using my preferred diff tool
13:10:45  <Pizen> I'm using patch.exe, ONLY accepting CRLF

15:50:42  <fonsinchen> Is a newgrf allowed to crash openttd? I suspect that a particular newgrf contains invalid sounds and that leads to a crash. Would the crash be the newgrf's or openttd's fault?
15:52:22  <dragonhorseboy> hard to tell..isn't newgrf supposed to refuse to let a buggy grf load at main screen in first place or am I wrong?

16:24:47  <fonsinchen> OK, then I won't post.
16:28:48  <Spizania> whats Cargodist like?
16:29:49  <fonsinchen> It distributes your the generated cargo among the available destinations in a sensible way and prompts you to provide the necessary infrastructure.
16:30:07  <Spizania> so it prompts network building?
16:30:10  <Spizania> now that is fun

16:32:14  <Spizania> I wish mines produced more stuff though
16:32:59  <dragonhorseboy> spizania hm? I find them just making enough for me but then i guess that depends on how far you were delivering them to tho so .. no comments
16:33:25  <Spizania> Maybe im using too longer trains or something
16:33:34  <Spizania> but i have mines that cant support more than one train
16:33:45  <dragonhorseboy> spizania.. <40 tonnes you mean?
16:34:10  <Spizania> yes or so
16:34:12  <Spizania> its infuriating
16:34:58  <dragonhorseboy> I've seen these once in a while .. I just look for any other coal routes I had and if there's any nearby somehow then I slap in it as a mid-way halt
16:35:08  <dragonhorseboy> solves the problem for me ;)
16:35:50  <dragonhorseboy> kinda fun to see one coal train heading out of powerplant and having several tonnes of coal before it arrives back at the coal mine station due to this little side detour
16:36:11  <Pizen> planetmaker, a word about the 2cc metro set
16:36:49  <dragonhorseboy> spizania either way what kind of coal trains do you usually run? (rough capacity and/or the power used)
16:36:50  <Spizania> most of the time mine dont have others around
16:36:56  <Pizen> planetmaker, wait, no, nevermind that
16:37:09  <Spizania> it varies, but normaly I got for 5/6 square trains
16:38:11  <Spizania> when im using the North American Renewal Set I normally use the "Standard Five" or somesuch
16:39:00  <Eddi|zuHause> i rather have many low-producing mines spread in an area
16:39:12  <Spizania> 1150hp for 240 tonnes of cargo

16:57:54  <Yexo> <planetmaker> I wondered today whether it might not fit an AI just as well as a bigger newgrf project to be tackled by more than one person alone... <- that is a good idea for sure
16:58:10  <Yexo> I had some discussion with GeekToo last summer to start working together, but nothing came from it
16:58:40  <Spizania> to be honest what interests me about the AI system is laying out the network and what cargo goes where and at what rate
16:58:43  <Spizania> rather than making it build things
16:59:05  <Pizen> well, that was misleading. Even though the road vehicle stop limit counts both lorry and bus stations, trying to place ie. a bus station gives the message "too many bus stations". Shouldn't this be "too many road vehicle stops" or similar? That, or disconnect the limit so they each have their own.

17:04:26  <Eddi|zuHause> the last time i played with AIs they had two problems:
17:04:45  <Eddi|zuHause> a) no way to decide from the description if this AI is any good, or how hard it would be
17:05:04  <Eddi|zuHause> b) two players of the same "personality" always built the same routes
17:05:18  <planetmaker> Yexo: that for sure has to be settled before :)
17:05:40  <planetmaker> But I guess similar decisions have to be made for newgrfs: what do you want to include, how to structure pices etc pp
17:05:57  <Yexo> anyway, I'm still interested, but I don't want to invest to much time setting it all up
17:06:08  <planetmaker> hehe :)
17:06:27  <planetmaker> Does any of the AI have a publicly accessible repository?
17:06:53  <Spizania> I was trying to work out how to build main line+ branch networks using the AI reliably, I didnt have much luck
17:06:55  <Yexo> at least one AI has
17:07:01  <planetmaker> I mean... that'd be one of the first steps.

20:41:56  <planetmaker> especially as you're know to be present 24/7 from previous experience :)
20:43:39  <Rubidium> then previous experience would've shown that I don't always read backlogs, even when I'm highlighted
20:44:05  <Rubidium> and that what they say might very well not reach me, kinda UDP-ish
20:45:09  <planetmaker> well. But chance are that it does :)
20:45:48  <Rubidium> when I'm not in this channel there still is a chance
20:45:59  *** Klanticus [~quassel@189.35.30.61] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
20:46:11  <Rubidium> a 0 chance, but it's still a chance
20:46:25  <Pizen> WELL
20:46:36  <Pizen> time for my first code change
20:47:25  <planetmaker> hehe @ Rubidium. Even events with a probability of zero may occur, eh? :)
20:48:04  <Pizen> speaking of probability, I'm fairly sure most things have a value of non-zero
20:48:14  <Pizen> yet quite close, if there is such a thing
20:48:21  <planetmaker> Hm... given calculus rules, then only an infinite amount of queries might trigger a response ;)
20:48:23  <Rubidium> planetmaker: a bank account with 0 EUR on it is still a bank account, right?
20:48:37  <Pizen> a bank account is also more than its balance
20:48:40  <planetmaker> Pizen: most things have a value of exactly zero :)
20:48:53  <Rubidium> planetmaker: a DOS usually gets a response
20:48:54  <Pizen> not in probability
20:48:59  <planetmaker> but the integral over an infinite amount of such zeros is finte ;)
20:49:03  <planetmaker> *finite ;)
20:49:47  <Pizen> and yeah, I agree most things have a value of zero - was just thinking quantum mechanics and how there IS a probability of a sperm whale coming into existence right here, right now
20:49:55  <Pizen> *a non-zero probability
20:50:21  <Pizen> freaked my mum out, that
20:50:25  <planetmaker> well. for all practical purposes it is.
20:50:38  <Eddi|zuHause> in school we once calculated the probability of a 1kg metal ball jumping up 1m by itself
20:50:54  <planetmaker> and even quantum theory won't violate the 2nd fundament theorem of thermodynamics
20:51:05  <Pizen> I never implied it would
20:51:19  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: I guess your calculators failed :)
20:51:23  <Pizen> Eddi|zuHause, sounds quite interesting. Were you able to produce a result?
20:51:38  <Pizen> I meant, surely the 10^307 isn't enough to express that?

20:52:55  <Eddi|zuHause> exactly
20:52:55  <Pizen> "random"
20:53:06  <Eddi|zuHause> and this "randomness" can synchronize
20:53:13  <Pizen> yeah
20:53:18  <Eddi|zuHause> by a probability of > 0
20:53:34  <Pizen> but that isn't quantum mechanics, just ... thermodynamics, right?
20:53:43  <Pizen> (I never did listen much when it came to thermodynamics)
20:53:49  <Eddi|zuHause> i did not say it had anything to do with quantum mechanics
20:53:58  <Pizen> nono, I'm just trying to understand it myself here ^^;
20:54:16  <Rubidium> ofcourse to give a chance you need to know all state of the 'external' world
20:54:36  <Pizen> demon, etc.
20:54:40  <Eddi|zuHause> well, there are some abstractions to be made :p
20:54:49  <Rubidium> gravity, viscocity, magnetism, ...
20:55:07  <Eddi|zuHause> 9.81m/s^2, vacuum
20:55:29  <Pizen> I bet you can approximate it ... but then again, approximating the probability would usually result in 0
20:55:43  <planetmaker> Pizen: even without...
20:56:04  <Eddi|zuHause> i think it's easier to compare it with probabilities of the same range
20:56:04  <Rubidium> I'd say that there is a chance the chance is 0
20:56:13  <Pizen> in other news; where is that fancy grouped finances window hidden?
20:56:17  <Eddi|zuHause> like... the probability of sentient life outside earth
20:56:36  <Rubidium> Pizen: in OOCalc?
20:56:51  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: now, that is something which is probably higher than this bottle here suddenly jumping into thing air :)
20:56:51  <Pizen> well there's still a lot of variables with unknown values in that, Eddi, no?
20:56:55  <Pizen> Rubidium, uh?
20:57:13  <Pizen> no, in OpenTTD sources?
20:57:39  * Pizen hasn't gotten half used to the code base yet
20:57:47  <Rubidium> grep -ri finance src --exclude-dir .svn | grep -i window
20:58:03  <Eddi|zuHause> Pizen: there were various patches dealing with the finance window
20:58:06  <Pizen> that was mean
20:58:09  <Pizen> Eddi, I know
20:58:21  <Pizen> wait, you suggest I just look in them?
20:58:41  <Eddi|zuHause> no, please ignore them
20:58:48  <Pizen> will do
20:58:49  <Eddi|zuHause> they contain no valuable information
20:58:58  <Pizen> I'll also delete the sources and start over myself

21:02:43  <Pizen> 3D and BETTER and faster and more efficient

21:03:15  <Pizen> and found it funny
21:03:49  <Pizen> I was once approached by a friend of mine's brother, as he knew I make websites. He asked me to help him make one, and I said "sure, what do you want?"
21:03:57  <Pizen> "Something like Runescape, but with better graphics"
21:04:09  <Rubidium> Pizen: better work on a 3D better and faster version of solitaire
21:04:50  <Belugas> yeah...that would be more realistic...
21:05:19  <Rubidium> yup... it's totally unreal that the cards aren't damaged a bit
21:05:27  <Rubidium> or that they are perfectly aligned
21:05:32  <Belugas> exactly :D
21:05:47  <Eddi|zuHause> is there an english translation of "gezinkt"?
21:06:00  <Rubidium> or that moving them keeps them perfectly aligned and the dropping them aligns them automagically
21:06:10  <glx> what does that mean in english Eddi|zuHause ?
21:06:31  <Eddi|zuHause> in german it means that the cards are marked somehow
21:06:53  <Pizen> we need multitouch solitaire
21:06:58  <Pizen> much more realistic
21:07:01  <Eddi|zuHause> so you can figure out which card it is from its backside, if you know how to read the markings
21:07:08  <Aali> in windows 7 you'll gradually wear down the deck of cards

21:22:58  <z-MaTRiX> im sure they'd take the whole line if noone cares
21:23:09  <Aali> copper is valuable
21:23:21  <oskari89> Not too valuable.
21:23:24  <oskari89> At least here.
21:23:28  <oskari89> Has dropped.
21:23:55  <z-MaTRiX> well think twice
21:24:11  <Eddi|zuHause> copper is very valuable
21:24:14  <Rubidium> just don't be so stupid to remove the copper of the wiring rods from a government transmitter (police, firefighters and ambulance)
21:25:04  <Aali> we
21:25:09  <Aali> damn enter key
21:25:17  <Eddi|zuHause> the japanese collected tons of italian coins, because the metal was more valuable than the coin value ;)
21:25:39  <Aali> we've had some organized crime groups tearing off roofs of buildings just to get to the copper
21:25:53  <Aali> nothing big, but still
21:26:05  <Aali> there's definitely money to be made from looting copper
21:26:24  <Eddi|zuHause> in world war I, the (just barely started) electrification in central germany was removed, because copper was needed for war-relevant production
21:26:36  <Rubidium> even when the transmitter is in the middle of (Dutch) nowhere, the police will be there before you have an amount of copper that's worth the work
21:27:31  <Eddi|zuHause> well, the definition of "nowhere" varies from country to country :p
21:28:07  <Rubidium> the lightning rod influences radio waves and they continuously measure that, so when someone even touches with the lightning rod... they know
21:28:47  <z-MaTRiX> those are from aluminium
21:29:14  <Rubidium> it's much safer to steal copper wire from (train) signalling systems
21:29:14  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but you have to touch it, in order to get to the (copper) wiring
21:29:39  <z-MaTRiX> hahah steal the high voltage line
21:29:51  <z-MaTRiX> it was done in budapest, hungary
21:29:56  <Eddi|zuHause> over here they closed down a rail line, and immediately took off the catenary, because they feared it would get stolen
21:29:58  <Prof_Frink> Rubidium: Like someone did on the ttmeet last year.
21:30:18  <Prof_Frink> ...except they got a fibreoptic line instead. Fail.
21:30:27  <Eddi|zuHause> haha :p
21:31:38  <Rubidium> but then, who cares when a not quite working signalling system doesn't work?
21:32:09  <z-MaTRiX> in the morning, trolleys couldn't start their work, because several kilometers of high voltage line was missing

21:37:42  <Spizania> Rubidium: the newest systems on older track are still 25 years old
21:37:43  <Rubidium> in NL it's either 1960-ish or ECTS unfinished-draft (the that doesn't work yet and has caused several years delay on the major rail projects in the NL for the last decade or so)
21:38:09  <Spizania> Newcastle Station even has a plaque commemorating them rebuilding the signalling system last time

21:38:13  <Spizania> it all has mechanical interlocks
21:39:34  <Eddi|zuHause> they installed new signal systems here on station entrance between the main station and the connection to the new ICE track
21:39:46  <Eddi|zuHause> but i have no statistics on how well they work
21:40:05  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: like http://www.flickr.com/photos/se-bas-tiaan/2931611964/ ?
21:40:19  <Prof_Frink> Eddi|zuHause: How many crashes have there been?
21:40:32  <Eddi|zuHause> there have not been any ICEs yet ;)
21:40:39  <Eddi|zuHause> the track is not finished
21:40:59  * Prof_Frink divides by zero
21:41:09  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: talking only about a specific part of track, right?
21:41:16  <Eddi|zuHause> and even then i have my doubts about the ICEs actually taking this route (it'll mostly be cargo trains taking this branch, i presume)
21:41:42  <Eddi|zuHause> they're building a giant bridge
21:41:53  <Eddi|zuHause> giant as in long, not in high
21:42:30  <Spizania> I wish there was a signalling system that allows broken down trains on two track railways to be bypassed by reverting to one track running around them
21:43:35  <Rubidium> Spizania: you mean like path signals already can do?
21:43:45  <Spizania> nah
21:43:56  <Spizania> path signalling makes both lines bidirectional
21:44:00  <Eddi|zuHause> that's not possible because the signal would have to know the speed of the train in front
21:44:14  <Spizania> dont suppose we can code that can we?
21:44:45  <Rubidium> if with "we" you mean "me" (Rubidium) and "you" (Spizania), then probably no
21:44:50  <Eddi|zuHause> and if it is 0 it has to know whether it is because of breakdown, waiting for path, manually stopped, other reasons...
21:44:56  <Rubidium> unless you do all the work ;)

21:45:27  <Spizania> because as well it would be awesome to have signals like they have on the ECML, where they let you enter a block that would otherwise be red if you enter slowly
21:46:48  <Eddi|zuHause> how the hell would you manage that kind of mess?
21:47:04  <z-MaTRiX> well actually maglevs are controlled by computers, and breakdowns are unusual in real life
21:47:17  <Prof_Frink> Fools like Sacro do it for fun.
