00:01:01  <OwenS> It takes a goods train 126 days per direction :p
00:01:07  <Rubidium> ~25% of that bandwidth if bananas (over 190 days)
00:01:34  <Rubidium> which includes a long time where bananas didn't exist yet
00:02:17  <OwenS> @calc 365/(2*126)
00:02:17  <DorpsGek> OwenS: 1.44841269841
00:02:28  <OwenS> So one of said goods trains does one and a half deliveries a year
00:02:43  <OwenS> Hmm... Whats that thing people call realism? :P
00:03:19  <Rubidium> unreal
00:04:00  <OwenS> I think the realism stopped... about the time we got stations bigger than the towns they service
00:04:20  <Rubidium> I think realism never started
00:04:51  <keoz> realism is like a limit in a function, to which we should tend, even if we know it is unreachable
00:05:11  <Rubidium> and I'm not going to react for a while as I'm going to bed; I wonder if Belugas likes that kind of realism
00:05:36  <OwenS> TTD on a more realistic scale would be interesting though

09:28:13  <Rubidium> hai
09:29:36  <TrueBrain> we had this class and exam for which ALL people failed
09:29:49  <TrueBrain> now the professor tries to correct that problem, by giving more material
09:29:51  <TrueBrain> even more unreadable
09:30:03  <TrueBrain> when will this person understand that what he tells us, is not understandable ?
09:30:33  <Rubidium> I think that's something he does not understand
09:31:39  <TrueBrain> he promised the head of the dep that he would do more his best in giving more detail .. he just gave the answers to the last test .. yeah .. that might work .. NOT
09:32:01  <Rubidium> if the next exam uses the exact same test, then it might
09:32:14  <TrueBrain> even then, I am unsure I will have everything correct :p

10:45:00  <TrueBrain> it is a planetmaker!
10:45:04  <TrueBrain> I wonder if tdev had any time today
10:45:24  <tdev> hey TrueBrain :D
10:45:29  <tdev> im all yours ;)
10:45:39  <TrueBrain> http://www.noaddedsugar.net/
10:53:24  <planetmaker> haha :-) selling oneself to slave labour ;-)
10:54:15  <TrueBrain> ghehe :)
10:56:19  <Noldo> Would it be possible that someone would use some other language as the main language
10:56:34  <TrueBrain> lol
10:56:43  <TrueBrain> that is the strangest question ever, I believe :)
10:56:47  <TrueBrain> what do you mean exactly Noldo? :)
10:57:02  <Noldo> in the WebTranslator I mean
10:57:10  <Noldo> "Automatic mark strings as 'suspicious' when English changes"
10:57:22  <TrueBrain> Noldo: still I don't get it ;)
10:57:31  <Noldo> that was the line that triggered the question
10:57:45  <TrueBrain> oh, s/English/main language/
10:57:56  <Noldo> yes
10:58:12  <TrueBrain> base language, in fact
10:58:31  *** KenjiE20 [~KenjiE20@92.23.158.129] has joined #openttd
10:58:53  <Noldo> so is it possible to use something other that english?
10:59:14  <planetmaker> Noldo, you can - as project leader - define your "main language"
10:59:36  <planetmaker> All translations though, orient themselves on that language. And markings only depend upon changes in the "main language"
10:59:47  <planetmaker> (if I understood it right :-) )
11:03:16  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: you did
11:03:30  <TrueBrain> nowhere in the code is ever defined which language is the base language
11:03:47  <planetmaker> it's just a filename, I guess :-)
11:03:58  <TrueBrain> depends :)
11:04:04  <TrueBrain> gettext has the base language in every file
11:04:07  <planetmaker> he :-)
11:04:11  <TrueBrain> where OpenTTD has it in a single file once
11:04:14  <TrueBrain> (and uses keys)
11:04:33  <TrueBrain> NewGRF has another way
11:04:39  <TrueBrain> so it is not that simple ;)
11:05:16  <planetmaker> You plan to translate NewGRF with wt3?
11:05:26  <TrueBrain> well, plan is a big word
11:05:29  <TrueBrain> but it will be capable
11:05:39  <TrueBrain> (if someone would write the in/out related to it)
11:06:11  <planetmaker> Hm... would be interesting.
11:06:24  <TrueBrain> what I read on it, it just works like: name.grf and name_trans.grf
11:06:25  <planetmaker> My current newgrf projects have a separate file for each language
11:06:29  <TrueBrain> where the latter can do all the translations for the first
11:06:35  <planetmaker> but not each string needs translation.
11:06:41  <planetmaker> Having a web interface for that would rock
11:07:18  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: I see no reason why WT3.1 wouldn't be able to support it
11:07:33  <planetmaker> hm... that's definitely then something to try.
11:07:40  <planetmaker> WT3.1 service at the devzone :-)
11:07:55  <TrueBrain> someone only has to explain to me in details what needs to be done :)
11:07:56  <planetmaker> Another incentive to host repositories there :-P
11:08:08  <TrueBrain> but as this plugin system allows that later, it will be done later ;)
11:08:11  <planetmaker> That I can do, I think.
11:08:28  <planetmaker> Reasonable nfo structure given, the string handling in nfo isn't difficult at all.
11:09:20  <planetmaker> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/firs/repository/browse/sprites/nfo/lang <-- like that it's already quite easy
11:09:41  <TrueBrain> does NewGRF have all languages OpenTTD has?
11:10:02  <planetmaker> hm... I guess not all.
11:10:04  <planetmaker> But most
11:10:18  <TrueBrain> well, that is something that should be fixed
11:10:28  <TrueBrain> and some kind of standard should be created for this
11:10:32  <planetmaker> easily done. Pro'ly just needs defining in the specs.
11:10:36  <planetmaker> e.g. updating the wiki
11:10:49  <TrueBrain> like in the link you just gave, are comments
11:10:53  <planetmaker> http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Action4
11:11:00  <TrueBrain> either those need to made some kind of standard
11:11:05  <TrueBrain> or it should work directly on .grf files
11:11:28  <TrueBrain> list seems up-to-date :)
11:11:31  <planetmaker> yes. The link I gave is not pure NFO. It's processed by a makefile into nfo
11:11:47  <planetmaker> e.g. replacing the stringIDs etc
11:11:47  <TrueBrain> but okay, lets do that after I have a working system ;)
11:11:56  <planetmaker> he, indeed :-)
11:12:26  <TrueBrain> today I will be extending the script, api, and plugin system a bit
11:12:36  <TrueBrain> after which I should be able to start working on OpenTTD language files ..
11:13:02  <planetmaker> :-)
11:13:23  <TrueBrain> Noldo: if you have any other questions, please let me know :)
11:18:26  * Ammler still thinks, the langaug
11:18:29  <Ammler> m?h
11:18:46  <Ammler> just ignore me :-)
11:18:46  <planetmaker> muh
11:19:36  <Ammler> why is backspace that close to the enter key?
11:25:03  <TrueBrain> because you should just speak your mind
11:25:07  <TrueBrain> it wants you to know that :)
11:25:42  <Rubidium> planetmaker: name me one (official) OpenTTD language that isn't supported by NewGRF
11:27:57  <Ammler> 2nd try; /me thinks, the language files should be distributed seperately, possible with bananas, isn't?
11:28:18  <Rubidium> did write something down a while ago for Miham IIRC about NewGRF translations: http://rbijker.net/openttd/misc/newgrf_translation.txt
11:29:20  <planetmaker> Rubidium, I guess I cannot. I just wasn't sure that all official OpenTTD languages have found already their way into the NewGRF specs
11:29:36  <planetmaker> That's why I phrased it more cautiously. :-) A look at that page told me different
11:30:10  <TrueBrain> Ammler: I tend to agree with you on that, as mostly it doesn't require permission of the original author
11:30:24  <Ammler> "We should use FF for the default English strings. That way that string is always used as "catch all" string. It needs to be the first string, otherwise it overrides all" <-- still valid?
11:30:31  <Rubidium> http://www.tt-forums.net/download/file.php?id=114736 <- I like the laziness of the OpenGFX authors ;)
11:30:52  <Ammler> specially the "needs to be first"
11:31:11  <Ammler> because then pm needs to resort ;-)
11:31:45  <Rubidium> planetmaker: OpenTTD has the GRF ID language ID for the language in the language files
11:32:03  <Ammler> TrueBrain: yes, specially CC-ND grfs
11:32:12  <planetmaker> Rubidium, right :-) I wasn't aware that it's 100% the same
11:32:21  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: do you agree on what Ammler says?
11:32:23  <Ammler> but also the openttd core translations.
11:33:08  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: if it's silence I have to agree on, then yes
11:33:15  <planetmaker> btw, I try with the translation possibilities for the NewGRFs which use "my" makefile the same: a file which defines the langID in the header and the the STRING_ID follows with a translation, one each line
11:33:21  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: fair enough:
11:33:23  <TrueBrain> [13:27] <Ammler> 2nd try; /me thinks, the language files should be distributed seperately, possible with bananas, isn't?
11:33:47  <Rubidium> what language files is he talking about?
11:33:55  <TrueBrain> newgrf .. like what we are talking about
11:34:16  <planetmaker> I wished there were means to not blow up the newgrf size by all translations, but make them external...
11:34:17  <TrueBrain> dunno where I read it yesterday, but as I said before: name.grf and name_trans.grf
11:34:20  <TrueBrain> the latter with translations
11:34:40  <planetmaker> hm... maybe there is means by add-on newgrf. But... can that then be used in a network game when the server hasn't that newgrf?
11:34:40  <Ammler> TrueBrain: you mean one grf for ALL translations?
11:34:51  <TrueBrain> Ammler: that is what the TTDp website suggests, yes
11:35:09  <Ammler> ah, I thought about name_de.grf
11:35:13  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: static newgrfs? (I don't know, I know almost nothing about grfs)
11:35:26  <Rubidium> I'd personally go for: "no", but that is 'only' because NewGRFs (e.g. name.grf) change over time adding/removing features (i.e. changing StringIDs), making the translation sound like gibberish
11:35:51  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: true; but if you split it, you don't need permission of the original author ;)
11:36:01  <Ammler> to make the tanslation universal, you should use the grf direclty as base.
11:36:21  <Ammler> decode->translate encode a new file
11:36:25  <planetmaker> Rubidium, that could be helped by querying the newgrf to be translated.
11:36:34  <planetmaker> and de-activation, if the version doesn't match
11:36:50  <Rubidium> planetmaker: what part of the NewGRF do you intend to query?
11:37:21  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: true, but I think that totally wrong translations are a bigger problem than no translation
11:37:39  <planetmaker> Rubidium, good question. But it could e.g. query the name. Which can hold the version
11:37:45  <Rubidium> e.g. translating 'steel' to 'vee'/'vieh'
11:37:53  <planetmaker> it needs to be tailored. But it can be done, I guess.
11:37:54  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: so that is something that we need to protect :)
11:38:00  <planetmaker> I've never tried anything like that, though
11:38:05  <TrueBrain> md5 of the grf in the translation, or what ever :p
11:38:20  <planetmaker> TrueBrain, that'd be too strict IMO :-) But should work, too
11:38:26  <planetmaker> most easy, I guess

11:38:39  <Ammler> well, we really would like a version info in the grfs anyway.
11:38:45  <TrueBrain> which is 'unique' for a given english.txt
11:38:56  <Rubidium> yup, a hash of the base file is the easiest way
11:39:12  <TrueBrain> as I think embeding the translation in the grf is not really the way to go
11:39:25  <blathijs> TrueBrain: Why not?
11:39:26  <planetmaker> ^ I agree. At least if it gets many
11:39:27  <Ammler> md5 hash doesn't show, which is the newer version.
11:39:32  *** tdev [~udev@p508EBB2E.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
11:39:36  <TrueBrain> blathijs: it bloats the grf unneeded
11:39:50  <planetmaker> Ammler, that doesn't matter too much, if the newgrf tells its name with action 08
11:39:52  <Rubidium> from a 'simple' user point of view adding the languages to the NewGRF is the best way
11:40:10  <blathijs> TrueBrain: You mean in actual file size? I'd expect translations to be minimal compared to the size of sprites?
11:40:15  <planetmaker> then it needs a GUI way to add static NewGRF
11:40:20  <TrueBrain> blathijs: no, I don't really care about filesize
11:40:25  <Rubidium> even so, what's the size of the translation vs the size of the rest of the file?
11:40:25  <TrueBrain> I mean, we have, what, 50 languages now?
11:40:29  <TrueBrain> translations will come in over time
11:40:33  <TrueBrain> you need to keep on updating your base grf
11:40:36  <TrueBrain> while nothing changes
11:40:41  <TrueBrain> most users will find that annoying and weird
11:40:50  <TrueBrain> (in my opinion ;))
11:41:06  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: most users will find it annoying and weird if they have to 'search' for a translation file
11:41:10  <Ammler> or you wait with adding the translation until you have a "worthful" update.
11:41:12  <blathijs> That makes sense. Splitting them allows you to update the (small) translations without having to redownload the (big) grf itself
11:41:18  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: that is why it should be made simple ;)
11:41:24  <TrueBrain> blathijs: exactly
11:41:47  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: how simple can it be made? Because it'll be at least as complex as bananas
11:41:58  <Rubidium> which a major number of the users doesn't use
11:41:59  <TrueBrain> http://www.ttdpatch.net/tools.html#grftrans <- that suggested _trans btw
11:42:43  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: the best option in my opinion would be something as simple as this: when a user loads a grf, known at BaNaNaS, and you have a language loaded, and we know the translation for that grf for that language, we suggest the user to download it
11:42:46  <TrueBrain> or something in that
11:42:54  <TrueBrain> but that makes it very BaNaNaS depending
11:43:28  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: we suggest people to download an AI, yet we get lots of people complaining they can't find an AI
11:43:47  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: that is because I think the game should give a popup when it tries to start a game with an AI while there aren't any AIs
11:43:51  <TrueBrain> giving the Content Download screen
11:43:56  <TrueBrain> and pointing to where to download
11:44:00  <TrueBrain> (if that isn't done already :p)
11:44:09  <Rubidium> and it would mean that you need to send an awful lot of information about NewGRFs to the client
11:44:27  <TrueBrain> huh? Did you read the same text as I wrote?
11:44:39  <TrueBrain> client sends to Content Service -> grf + language
11:44:47  <TrueBrain> servers send back: I have translation for you
11:45:02  <TrueBrain> but okay .. that is just my simple look on this
11:45:38  <Ammler> well, just download the translation, if available
11:46:04  <TrueBrain> Ammler: there needs to be some chatter to acknowledge for what it needs a translation ;)
11:47:01  <Ammler> that is the big issue on current bananans you need to click too many times for just saying "downlaod the needed grfs"
11:47:04  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: but I also showed you we can even make it on-demand downloading of translations ;) :)
11:47:27  <TrueBrain> (I can make such silly patches :) Ghehehehe :))
11:47:29  <Ammler> well, at least, what the ps players complain about,
11:47:43  <blathijs> ps?
11:47:50  <Ammler> cooop public server
11:48:00  <TrueBrain> Ammler: you should avoid words like 'ps' ;)
11:48:11  <TrueBrain> words .. letters :p

11:52:39  <Rubidium> that might give some troubles when the main GRF contains translations and you load a _trans.grf that does the same
11:52:55  <TrueBrain> something to fix, I guess? :)
11:54:40  <Rubidium> generally redefining stuff in NewGRF context means you've made a mistake, so I'm not quite sure whether ignoring such checks for mistakes is a good idea

13:17:21  <Svenska> i'm using openttd 0.7.1 stable (debian squeeze)
13:17:31  <Svenska> can i use fluidsynth in openttd to get the midi music working?
13:18:00  <Eddi|zuHause> you could check the docs for "extmidi"
13:18:13  <Svenska> timidity hangs after i quit openttd, then the sound card stops working until reboot
13:18:40  <Svenska> what is extmidi?
13:18:42  <dihedral> burn the songs to a cd, and play them on your stereo
13:18:52  <Svenska> bad idea -> no stereo :)
13:18:57  <dihedral> ext(ernal) midi
13:19:37  <dihedral> copy them to your ipod, mp3 palyer, or whatever else you might have... perhaps a walkman
13:19:49  <Rubidium> extmidi is OpenTTD's way of calling an external application for playing the midi
13:20:02  <Rubidium> by default extmidi calls timidity
13:20:27  <blathijs> You can pass it a "cmd" option to make it use another program (e.g., fluidsynth)

13:20:51  <Svenska> thanks for now

13:27:33  <Svenska> for now it doesn't work

13:28:35  <Svenska> which works from console; is there some kind of debug output?
13:29:35  <Rubidium> Svenska: extmidi isn't a used setting in 0.7/trunk
13:29:43  <Rubidium> as a result it isn't used
13:29:57  <Svenska> oh; cause "extmidi = timidity" was in there before
13:30:23  <Svenska> your command doesn't work
13:30:28  <Rubidium> Svenska: that's from 'long' ago
13:30:58  <Svenska> is there a replacement setting or is it gone?
13:31:56  <Rubidium> IIRC it's part of music_driver, but if my command doesn't work, then setting the same in music_driver doesn't work either
13:32:15  <Rubidium> though I'm trying to get it installed on my computer to fiddle a bit
13:36:36  <Yrol> TrueBrain, it certainly is the case, that i dont understand how programming and compiling works, nevertheless i try, i still try since a year or so, regardless of the difficulties i find put in my way by code as well as people. thats, in the end, why i AM here, to ask, to learn how to get stuff working without being helped learnign to walk. if then some people think, how a question is asked is wrong, sorry, they can roll up their oh so holy pamphlet of that

15:59:32  <Lakie> As you usually buy them from the manfactor who has built it?
16:00:57  <Lakie> And since you could be buy already made vehicles or have them made for you, it becomes ambious if you go below the buy from manfactor level.

16:41:52  <planetmaker> That is IMO just a task for translators
16:42:55  <planetmaker> But english.txt isn't translated and it's the example which tranlators usually follow
16:43:03  <Belugas> it could, dunno
16:43:05  <planetmaker> And I think it itself could be made more consistant
16:43:32  <planetmaker> it's really a no-issue, but well :-)
16:43:46  <Belugas> for sure, making english change will "force" other translators to consider
16:43:56  <planetmaker> exactly :-)
16:44:44  <planetmaker> and, well. Still, a transport company rather buys than builds vehicles :-)

16:48:22  <planetmaker> Ammler: they're notified of changed strings
16:48:42  <planetmaker> or at least there's a category "changed strings" or "strings needing attention"
16:48:55  <planetmaker> it's good practise to check them from time to time as translator ;-)

16:52:53  <Ammler> TMS: I wouldn't recommend that, use screen instead.
16:53:04  <Yexo> but I agree with Ammler
16:53:34  <TMS> Why would you recommend against it?
16:53:51  <planetmaker> it may have interesting output :-)
16:54:06  <TMS> But doesn't it log everything?
16:54:12  <planetmaker> and it might help to be able to act as the server itself
16:54:14  <Ammler> console sometimes is more comfort than rcon
16:54:14  <TMS> I mean, surely it does, being a server and all.
16:54:26  <planetmaker> why should it log?
16:54:42  <TMS> In case a bug occurs, and you need logs of what happened?
16:54:47  <Yexo> TMS: OpenTTD doesn't log any output to a file by default
16:55:02  <planetmaker> that's why screen is so handy :-)
16:55:28  <Yexo> you could also redirect all console output
16:55:32  <Ammler> TMS: your server isn't windows?
16:55:40  <TMS> ...No.
16:55:47  <Belugas> ho... SHAME ON YOU!

16:57:07  <Belugas> breaks?
16:57:07  <TrueBrain> Belugas: you fork a process
16:57:20  <Belugas> lies!
16:57:23  <TrueBrain> okay
16:57:24  <TMS> right, I also need to load a savegame on startup, and have it reload everytime the server auto-resets
16:57:24  <Belugas> i fork a knoife
16:57:26  <TMS> Can this be done?
16:57:28  <Belugas> knife
16:57:46  <Rubidium> "imagine there is no fork"... "oh, you're using Windows?"
16:57:53  <planetmaker> TMS: it can.
16:57:58  <Belugas> hehehe
16:58:04  <planetmaker> best way to control is autopilot+
16:58:08  <planetmaker> ap+
16:58:22  <planetmaker> it's a wrapper tcl script

17:34:34  <OwenS> I mean very very lazy
17:34:43  <OwenS> As in I get large variations between hops :p
17:35:16  <TMS> uhh
17:35:21  <TMS> Once I've started a dedicated server
17:35:32  <TMS> how do I disable it/restart it if it's running in the background?
17:35:53  <Ammler> so you won't use ap+?
17:36:04  <TMS> nah, I'll just use cron
17:36:09  <TrueBrain> TMS: for that you need the console
17:36:35  <TMS> So there's no way to stop the process without using a console?
17:36:47  <TMS> That's... not very good. :/
17:36:53  <Ammler> ap+ has also a api to support kill signals for combine with cron. ;-)
17:36:55  <TrueBrain> make a patch
17:37:43  <OwenS> I need to get us switched onto Virgin Media.
17:37:45  <TMS> I'm having a hard time getting TCL working, and the fact that you have to use SVN to get the files isn't helping.
17:37:53  <OwenS> 20MB via DOCCIS (I.E. actually delivered)
17:38:11  <TrueBrain> TMS: apt-get install subversion
17:38:15  <TrueBrain> should't be that much of a problem ;)
17:38:29  <Ammler> well, I offered you the source as zip or what ever...
17:38:30  <OwenS> apt-get install tcl expect  :p
17:38:38  <TMS> I mean I don't know how to use svn :(
17:38:39  <TrueBrain> OwenS: I love this country ... internet works here :) Well, unless you take a REALLY crappy ISP :p
17:38:48  <TrueBrain> TMS: svn checkout svn://<url here>
17:39:02  <OwenS> TrueBrain: BT should have a good network. Reality says otherwise...
17:39:12  <Ammler> .nl has a bit trouble with reverse DNS
17:39:13  <TrueBrain> OwenS: I run within 4ms to AMS-IX :p
17:39:25  <TrueBrain> Ammler: lol, what a weird thing to say
17:39:32  <TrueBrain> clearly you don't understand reverse DNS requests :)
17:40:07  <OwenS> A.B.C.D.in-addr.arpa. PTR some.domain.any.tld.
17:40:53  <TrueBrain> and those arpa requests are deligated along the chain to the AS, and ISP, (and possible the user)
17:41:07  <TrueBrain> which means you can in no way ever say that .nl has trouble with reverse DNS
17:41:08  <Ammler> Jul 21 23:30:26 mozart sshd[12235]: Address 82.x.x.x xxx-a.groni1.gr.home.nl, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! <-- mostly from .nl domains.
17:41:13  <TrueBrain> as it is NOT grouped by that
17:41:23  <TrueBrain> Ammler: so based on ONE entry, you make an assumption?
17:41:33  <TrueBrain> you don't deserve a cookie today, you are a bad sysop :)
17:41:35  <Ammler> no, 2 of our members have that
17:41:40  <Ammler> both are dutch :-)
17:41:46  <TrueBrain> just means an ISP fucked up
17:41:51  <TrueBrain> which is not unusual
17:42:49  <valhallasw> Ammler: cable providers fucking up
17:42:51  <valhallasw> ^^
17:42:51  <TrueBrain> Ammler: I know 2 black people who has done jail: ALL black people have done jail
17:42:55  <TrueBrain> I mean .. wtf?
17:43:01  <Ammler> :-D
17:43:11  <TrueBrain> don't make stupid generalizations
17:43:14  <TrueBrain> makes you look stupid
17:43:15  <OwenS> Reminds me to update my server's RDNS
17:43:20  <OwenS> TrueBrain: 4ms to AMS-IX? I get 202ms to edge of LINX and 198ms to AMS-IX
17:43:25  <TrueBrain> OwenS: hehe, I did just that too :p :p
17:43:27  <Ammler> TrueBrain: you began with
17:44:05  <TrueBrain> OwenS: within 20 meters of copper, I run on fiber (all the way to the AS, and on)
17:44:08  <TrueBrain> so it is not really fair ;)
17:44:20  <OwenS> I think I have 3 miles of copper...
17:44:38  <OwenS> Thats as-the-crow-flies, not actual length..
17:44:45  <TrueBrain> the copper allows me 100 mbit/s, the fiber 1 gbit/s (up to the local POP), after that it is 40 gbit/s :p
17:44:53  <OwenS> Virgin Media I'd have about 5 meters of copper...
17:45:02  <valhallasw> TrueBrain: 20 meters? most colocated boxes have more copper than that :P
17:45:21  <TrueBrain> valhallasw: most likely :)
17:45:25  <TrueBrain> well, not really
17:45:26  <OwenS> (5 meters of DOCCIS over copper coax anyway)

17:50:08  <TrueBrain> you do understand I am complainnig about your absolute lack of putting things in perspective for us?
17:50:14  <TrueBrain> and that you just started to babble something? :)

17:51:02  <OwenS> I wish HE or such 100mb/s pipes were cheaper. Dealing directly with a backbone provider would be awesome. Getting a public IPv4 range even more so :P
17:51:09  <Yexo> TrueBrain: just the 5 strings from this commit
17:51:19  <OwenS> (And I mean orders of magnitude cheaper :P )
17:51:27  <TrueBrain> OwenS: lol ... why you want a public ipv4 RANGE?

17:52:07  <TrueBrain> never needed more .. :p

17:52:39  <TrueBrain> for what? :)
17:52:44  <TrueBrain> I really wonder, for what do you need it?
17:52:53  <OwenS> Assigning my virtual machines IPs :p
17:53:06  <TrueBrain> for that, you have datacenters :p
17:53:07  <valhallasw> why would you want to use external ips for that?
17:53:08  <TrueBrain> ghehe
17:53:11  <TrueBrain> use IPv6 ;)
17:53:15  <valhallasw> or NAT :P
17:54:13  <Yexo> "Eerst trein controlepost verwijderd" <- what kind of Dutch is that?

17:54:52  <TrueBrain> looks like me trying to translate :p
17:54:57  <Yexo> I don't mind a bit translating, but I hate having to fix translations because somebody is very inconsistent
17:55:03  <TrueBrain> (dyslectic, always fun to read back what I wrote :))
17:55:31  <TrueBrain> Yexo: I am just happy WT3 shows you it is inconsistent :p
17:56:01  <Yexo> actually the commit diff showed me it was inconsistent :p
17:56:07  <TrueBrain> doh :'(
17:56:08  <TrueBrain> hehe
17:56:10  <TrueBrain> was worth a shot :)
17:56:16  <Yexo> but wt3 makes it easy to look up the already existing translations, and to fix it :)
17:58:19  <OwenS> Other BT complaints: Shitty router which they "upgrade" the firmware on (Crippling features) without asking; The whole Phorm affair; don't support IP multicast; etc
17:58:34  <TrueBrain> poor OwenS
17:58:38  <TrueBrain> I think you should start your own ISP
17:58:46  <TrueBrain> sounds like you make a shot with decent quality :)

17:59:33  <Yexo> hmm, a decent translations for "sign", I don't like "bord", but maybe it's the best there is
17:59:53  <OwenS> I also wish routers supported SCTP. Being able to use it instead of TCP would rock...
17:59:59  <TrueBrain> Yexo: cant think up a better
18:01:48  <OwenS> While I think about it... Doesn't every IPv6 /48 come with a /64 of multicast addresses?
18:02:17  <TrueBrain> can't remember last time I used multicast .. :)
18:02:40  <OwenS> Would this be related to the fact no ISPs support it? :p
18:02:58  <OwenS> Which is quite silly as it would help them a lot...
18:03:01  <TrueBrain> for what is it ever useful? :)
18:03:09  <TrueBrain> radio and tv .. for that it can be useful :p
18:03:39  <Alberth> brb
18:05:27  <valhallasw> TrueBrain: try multicast on campzone and see if the crew comes hunting you :p
18:05:36  <TrueBrain> valhallasw: there is a good idea :)
18:06:03  <valhallasw> (someone tried that. some routers convert multicast to unicast. chaos ensues)
18:06:15  <OwenS> lol
18:06:27  <TrueBrain> valhallasw: I expected more of them :)
18:06:34  <TrueBrain> we filter all multicast away at router

18:07:51  <valhallasw> but the new network setup is quite nice.. routed, but allowing for broadcast
18:07:56  <OwenS> WTF is a switch doing interpreting multicast traffic? :p
18:08:03  <TrueBrain> OwenS: I wonder about that too
18:08:08  <TrueBrain> a layer3 switch might do that
18:08:10  <TrueBrain> but even then ...
18:08:18  <valhallasw> acting stupid, probably
18:08:23  <OwenS> But a layer 3 switch is really just a fast but limited router
18:08:32  <TrueBrain> very true; still a switch ;)
18:08:38  <TrueBrain> a l2 switch should never touch traffic in that way
18:08:48  <TrueBrain> just put the multicast on all ports, and let that be it
18:09:33  <TrueBrain> valhallasw: hehe, allowing broadcast is useful yes :p
18:09:40  <TMS> Where is openttd.cfg stored in Linux?
18:09:46  <OwenS> Or, if it's being fancy, IGMP snoop to decide where the multicast should go. But convert to unicast? WTF? Your clients are gonna be confused!

18:11:58  <TrueBrain> it has hopcount

18:12:15  <TrueBrain> I once spend 2 hours tracing a packet that was bouncing on and off switches ..
18:12:20  <TrueBrain> not something you wish to do every day :)
18:12:20  <OwenS> lol
18:12:29  <TrueBrain> switched off the complete network to get ride of the packet :p
18:12:59  <TrueBrain> so I agree on the TTL :P
18:12:59  <OwenS> If I were setting up their network, I'd set the hopcount on all packets going to users to be 1 from the end. I.E, don't use your own switches :P
18:13:15  <TrueBrain> OwenS: nasty ;)
18:13:32  <TrueBrain> although easy to fix (from the cilent point of view)
18:13:59  <OwenS> Alternatively, set it to 2 from the end so it can't come back :p

18:27:53  <TrueBrain> valhallasw: ghehe :)
18:27:57  <Forconin> I looked at the wiki. That's where i found it.
18:28:13  <TrueBrain> start the game with a GUI, and switch it off ;)
18:28:36  <Forconin> no GUI, dedicated server.
18:28:47  <Yexo> Forconin: what wiki page?
18:28:48  <OwenS> Forconin: Copy a cfg from your local machine then
18:28:49  <TrueBrain> Forconin: then I can't help you :) (wish has to do with my lack of knowledge :))
18:29:04  <Yexo> diff_custom is obsolete since somewhere before 0.7
18:29:12  <Forconin> Ok, thanks guys. :)
18:29:24  <Yexo> it's replaced by the [difficulty] section
18:29:36  <Yexo> but what wiki page did you find it on?
18:30:30  <OwenS> LOL. "At the ISPA Awards, The Internet Villain went to Stephen Conroy and the Australian Government, for continuing to promote network-level blocking despite significant national and international opposition."
18:31:00  <valhallasw> ah, there we go
18:31:11  <TrueBrain> you finally found a picture of me?
18:31:14  <valhallasw> yes
18:31:17  <TrueBrain> should be easy, as I have a few on openttd.org :p
18:31:20  <valhallasw> DLF almanak :p
18:31:20  <valhallasw> doh.
18:31:21  <TrueBrain> show me :)
18:31:22  <valhallasw> :D
18:31:23  <TrueBrain> LOL!
18:31:26  <TrueBrain> almanak, yeah, they have one :)
18:31:34  <TrueBrain> http://devs.openttd.org/~truebrain/photo_me/
18:31:36  <TrueBrain> to make it easier ;)
18:31:43  <TrueBrain> some are really old btw :p
18:32:16  <Tekky> Is it true that in 30 minutes the next nightly will be built?
18:32:27  <TrueBrain> Tekky: it is more that 30 minutes ago it started
18:32:33  <TrueBrain> I thikn in 7 minutes it will be done?
18:32:43  <Tekky> Ah, thanks :)
18:37:17  <Rubidium> I vote for it to be finished at 20:46
18:37:28  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: I thought you made it faster? :)
18:37:51  <Rubidium> yeah, from 48 to 46! ;)
18:37:58  <TrueBrain> lol :)
18:39:55  <Rubidium> though I have to agree... the newly added Dutch strings are, except 1, inconsistent with the already existing ones
18:40:01  <Rubidium> bad habell
18:40:35  <Rubidium> "waypoint" is an Indonesian word?
18:40:58  <TrueBrain> they just added it to the dictonary ;)
18:43:06  <OwenS> http://regmedia.co.uk/2009/07/28/hp_packaging_2.jpg <-- ROFLMAO
18:43:27  <TrueBrain> hehe
18:43:42  <OwenS> I also like the Sony one: http://regmedia.co.uk/2009/07/28/hp_packaging_2.jpg
18:43:48  <OwenS> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/29/aboxalypse_now/page5.html even
18:44:21  <TrueBrain> lol
18:44:55  <KingJ> Saw that article last night, pretty amazing
18:45:29  <planetmaker> TMS: ap+ is the successor of autopilot
18:46:04  <OwenS> I must say, in delivering my Mini-ITX, eBuyer shipped me it in 4 boxes 4 days. 2 boxes big enough to contain all the parts...
18:47:20  <KingJ> I had dell deliver 3 replacement PDA styluses in a large box, with the 3 styluses tucked under the bottom flap
18:49:08  <Tekky> Yay, the nightly build is completed. :-) Now it is time to test the new feature for distant joins of waypoints. Thanks for your work on implementing it, Rubidium.
18:52:08  <planetmaker> TrueBrain: afaik the campzone is right now
18:52:20  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: we established that, yes ;)
18:52:36  <planetmaker> he :-P I'm not through the backlog :-P
18:52:42  <TrueBrain> :)
18:52:46  <TrueBrain> that you read it in so much detail .. ;)
18:52:50  <Rubidium> planetmaker: I usually just skim it, unless highlighted ;)
18:53:06  <planetmaker> yeah. Usually. Today is unusual :-)
18:53:10  <TrueBrain> Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium Rubidium
18:53:16  <TrueBrain> this is going to be fun :)
18:53:20  <Forconin> hmm
18:53:28  <Forconin> Can't seem to get [Difficulty] to work
18:53:29  <Forconin> weird
18:53:30  <TrueBrain> (I expect a kick now .. somehow :p)
18:53:35  <TrueBrain> Forconin: which version do you use?
18:53:39  <Forconin> 0.7.1
18:53:41  <Forconin> Linux
18:53:45  <Forconin> or
18:53:47  <Forconin> it works
18:53:53  <Forconin> but it resets itself every time i start the server
18:54:02  <Forconin> hm
18:54:03  <TrueBrain> don't load a game ;)
18:54:07  <Forconin> maybe diff_level doing it?
18:54:07  <planetmaker> :-)
18:54:19  <planetmaker> loaded games override cfg
18:54:22  <Rubidium> Forconin: a) is there diff_custom lingering around in the config file? b) is diff_level != 3?
18:54:25  <Forconin> No loading
18:54:30  <Forconin> diff_level it was
18:54:32  <Forconin> thanks
18:54:51  <planetmaker> :-) Seems like easy help... :-P

18:56:16  <Tekky> Oh, in the latest nightly build, OpenTTD crashes when I bulldoze my old single-tile waypoint. However, when I remove the waypoint using the waypoint tool (instead of the bulldoze tool), it doesn't crash. I'll make a ticket on bugs.openttd.org and attach my savegame.

18:58:41  <planetmaker> ok, no good point to upgrade, I guess :-)
18:59:19  <Rubidium> planetmaker: it's never a good point to upgrade!
19:00:36  <Tekky> Ah, if I save the game and then load the game again and only then bulldoze the waypoint, the game does not crash.
19:01:16  * Tekky is opening a ticket on bugs.openttd.org
19:01:24  *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause
19:02:17  <Eddi|zuHause> so the fault is upon loading old savegames?
19:02:47  <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: yup, though saving and reloading will fix it
19:03:05  <Tekky> Eddi|zuHause: Yes, well, the savegame is not that old. It is about one or two weeks old.
19:03:23  <Eddi|zuHause> well, "old" being "last savegame version bump"
19:04:45  <CIA-1> OpenTTD: rubidium * r17004 /trunk/src/saveload/ (station_sl.cpp waypoint_sl.cpp): -Fix (r16909): StationRect of loading buoys/waypoints wasn't correctly set when loading 'old' games.
19:07:01  <Tekky> Oh, the bug is fixed already? :) Hehe, Rubidium is fixing bugs faster than I can report them to bugs.openttd.org :)
19:08:12  <Rubidium> Tekky: possibly, I'm not 100% sure
19:08:28  <Rubidium> though you should test r17004 with your savegame
19:09:19  <Rubidium> planetmaker: if you load a post 16909 savegame there should be no problem with the waypoint deletion
19:09:31  <Belugas> but but but... he need to compile it!!
19:09:59  <Rubidium> compiling doesn't take that long
19:10:01  <Tekky> Hmmmm, now I must either await the next nightly build or set up my compiler for building OpenTTD (which I must do soon anzwa
19:10:12  <Tekky> anzwa = anyway (typo)
19:10:27  <Eddi|zuHause> wrong keyboard :p
19:10:48  <Yexo> or download yesterdays nightly and play with that

19:11:06  <Eddi|zuHause> ok... that's too much for me...

19:11:09  <Tekky> Yexo: Yesterday's nightly has the same problem.
19:11:17  <Yexo> hmm, right
19:11:17  <Belugas> wazzupmaaaaaan?
19:11:42  <Yexo> but just saving the game and reloading is did fix the problem, so why not do that?

19:28:40  <Rubidium> for the ones that don't know French, ch?teau is French for castle and in URLs that's usually written as chateau
19:28:45  <OwenS> lol
19:29:00  <TrueBrain> oh, they blocked 'chat' specificly
19:29:02  <OwenS> My highschool blocked wikipedia...
19:29:03  <TrueBrain> now it makes sense
19:30:06  <Ammler> OwenS: a patch from michi_cc to extend yapp
19:30:28  <OwenS> aah
19:30:41  <Rubidium> not to mention that me being part admin caused the backup (of the new sysadmin) to fail for about a year
19:30:48  <Ammler> there is also a similar patch, something like "longer path signal"
19:31:42  <OwenS> I was an admin at my school. The sysadmin did not know this for quite a while. He was not amused :P
19:31:52  <Rubidium> we had a course Arabic, so we had one computer with an Arabic office, so we had Arabic filenames... that broke the backup
19:32:02  <OwenS> lol
19:32:36  <TrueBrain> OwenS: last time I had a punk ass gaining admin rights on the local machine (which, for the record, is dead easy on any windows machine) and failed to tell me that ... well .. lets say he had a really horrible month
19:32:51  <OwenS> Not local machine
19:32:52  <TrueBrain> I don't appreciate it when someone hacks my network and doesn't tell me about it .. then tries to do all innocente and sweet ...
19:32:54  <OwenS> Really bad syadmin :p
19:33:08  <OwenS> TBH place was more secure after I was through with it

19:35:01  <Alberth1> :)
19:35:01  <TrueBrain> ghehe :)
19:35:02  <OwenS> Our sysadmin was... the kind who would yell at you if you told him that kind of thing

19:35:28  <Forconin> Hm, question: Will it ever be possible to have more than 8 companies in a game?

19:35:37  <TrueBrain> Forconin: yes; you can have 15
19:35:38  <OwenS> If you did tell him
19:35:48  <Forconin> TrueBrain: You can?
19:35:52  <Forconin> Hm, nice.
19:36:03  <TrueBrain> but if you are a bit reasonable sysop, and someone tells you before or right after, you let him help you :)
19:36:14  <TrueBrain> one of those 16 years old once defaced the school website
19:36:15  * Rubidium remembers jolting the sysadmin to get an OS upgrade ;)
19:36:19  <TrueBrain> he came to me within the hour
19:36:22  <TrueBrain> I had a good long laugh :)
19:36:31  <OwenS> lol
19:36:32  <TrueBrain> he had a very good next month ;)
19:37:19  <TrueBrain> I respect that, if someone defaces a website, and tells you about it :) And makes the deface .. well .. funny :p
19:37:42  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: what? MSDos 3.1 not good enough for you? :p
19:37:44  <OwenS> That reminds me, when I get back, to prod the college sysadmins that they're running a version of apache with lots of security holes
19:37:55  <Rubidium> ... buying a *completely* new network, including computers, and then install Windows 95 on then when Windows XP was about to be released
19:37:58  <TrueBrain> OwenS: you can remove 'a version of'
19:38:12  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: ghehe :)
19:38:18  <OwenS> TrueBrain: Theres running apache. Then theres running a 1 year old version of apache.
19:38:23  <Rubidium> the computers came with Windows 2000
19:38:25  <OwenS> Apache/win32 for that matter...
19:38:43  <TrueBrain> either way .. I was about to write the import of WT3.1 ...
19:38:56  <OwenS> I also should complain about the fact that they can't deploy .net properly
19:39:06  <OwenS> (Their deployment has all the language files broken...)
19:39:31  <Eddi|zuHause> fuck... i think the HD is completely dead now
19:39:53  <OwenS> Final complaint: They still have machines with IE6...
19:39:54  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: didn't I told you to send it back? :p
19:40:07  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but that is easier said than done
19:40:11  <TrueBrain> OwenS: rolling out .NET in a sane way is IMPOSSIBLE
19:40:19  <TrueBrain> OwenS: same as deploying both Office 2003 and Office 2007
19:40:23  <TrueBrain> which is impossible :s
19:40:36  <TrueBrain> by documentation only Outlook should be the problem .. in reality, it is much bigger
19:40:39  <Eddi|zuHause> and from "i can't read a sector" to "disk doesn't start up" is kind of a huge jump so suddenly...
19:40:51  <TrueBrain> at the subject, Acrobat Reader 9 can't be used with roaming profiles (Windows AD)
19:40:56  <OwenS> Eddi|zuHause: Not really. "I can't read a sector" means disk is almost dead
19:41:08  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: pick it up, 10cm above the ground, drop it
19:41:09  <TrueBrain> try again :p
19:41:19  <TrueBrain> OwenS: it was the replacement disk :p
19:41:26  <OwenS> lol
19:42:02  <OwenS> Speaking of Office 2007. I was not pleased when said school sysadmin rolled out Office 2007. Without leaving the prior version there. Two weeks before a coursework deadline
19:42:20  <TrueBrain> :s
19:42:22  <TrueBrain> that is just bad timing
19:42:46  <OwenS> Well, correction: Two weeks before everyone's coursework deadlines
19:43:04  <OwenS> In one month there was a two week holiday and all the coursework would be over. Could he not wait? ...
19:43:28  <TrueBrain> that said: there is never a good timing for such upgrades
19:44:04  <TrueBrain> I once tried to do a network upgrade ... I requested a timeslot for it ... there was NO timeslot for it granted within the next 4 weeks, including weekends and evenings (up to 21:00, I refuse to work after that)
19:44:24  <TrueBrain> (and then you need to know me .. I just pulled the plug the other day and did the replacement :p)
19:44:35  <TrueBrain> "yeah, it failed, it was good we had the replacement ready!"
19:45:31  <Eddi|zuHause> <OwenS> Eddi|zuHause: Not really. "I can't read a sector" means disk is almost dead <- yes, but they are kind of completely different failure classes... one is the failure of the magnetic part, and one is the failure of the mechanic part...
19:45:49  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: stricly, the first can also be mechanic
19:45:52  <TrueBrain> but I tend to agree with you ;)
19:47:44  <OwenS> I tend to run a SMART analysis every now and again so I know "Hmm, better get a second spare in for the RAID array"

19:51:07  <OwenS> Thinking of it... I ought to learn how to do Linux softraid rebuilds :p
19:51:39  <TrueBrain> haha, not so easy as one might hope :p
19:51:46  <OwenS> Heh
19:52:01  <OwenS> So not like Solaris ZFS ones - put the new disk in, and tell it taht it's a replacement :p
19:52:19  <TrueBrain> well .. first of all, you need hotswap for that
19:52:21  <TrueBrain> so SATA :p
19:52:25  <TrueBrain> second ... no :p
19:52:37  <OwenS> Solaris ZFS you can even have hot spares in :p
19:52:52  <TrueBrain> yeah, we call it RAID-5
19:52:54  <TrueBrain> but okay
19:53:03  <TrueBrain> well, not by definition
19:53:12  <TrueBrain> hmm .. no, that is bullshit
19:53:15  <TrueBrain> you can always have a hot spare
19:53:33  <OwenS> ZFS does RAID-Z, which is like RAID-5 but faster :p
19:53:44  <TrueBrain> yeah, ZFS is so great :p
19:53:46  <TrueBrain> lol
19:54:05  <OwenS> Available on OS X, FreeBSD and Solaris... but not Linux...
19:54:05  <TrueBrain> but yeah, linux softraid needs ... knowing :p
19:54:36  <TrueBrain> last time we had a drive that failed
19:54:39  <TrueBrain> it just took down the whole machine
19:54:51  <TrueBrain> the softraid kept on trying to access the drive .. over and over and over and over
19:55:33  <OwenS> Reminds me of the mobo I had on which the southbridge went funky
19:55:46  <OwenS> That was fun to diagnose
19:55:48  <TrueBrain> OwenS: sure you are not Bjarni?
19:55:54  <OwenS> lol
19:56:04  <planetmaker> Rubidium: I mainly meant the nightlies. A public server needs those revisions :-)
19:56:23  <OwenS> My desktop has it's RAID array split between a parallel and serial ATA drive as a result of that...
19:56:57  <Rubidium> planetmaker: for the server the fix doesn't matter, because it won't get it, unless you load a pre r16909 savegame

20:06:56  <OwenS> Im sure OpenTTD developers are used to C++ errors though :p
20:08:31  <TrueBrain> you learn to read through them :)
20:10:37  <OwenS> Or rather ignore the "Instantiated from here, instantiated from there, instantiated from over here"

21:31:34  <Rubidium> DaleStan: http://rbijker.net/openttd/grfcodec_make_makefiles_like_grfcodec_deletes_some_files.diff reworks the grfcodec makefiles to be like nforenum's. In effect it adds Makefile.local.sample so you can override Makefile stuff without changing one of the versioned Makefiles. It also improves out-of-the-box MinGW compilation
21:32:02  <Rubidium> whether cygwin compilation still works I don't know; I don't have that installed

21:35:35  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: did you manual put the files there? Else the index is broken :(
21:36:23  <TrueBrain> or you didn't have installed the proper callback script? :)
21:36:28  <TrueBrain> (too lazy to check :p)

22:05:15  <OwenS> I don't doubt it's got lots of great features. But 10 page errors are not my idea of fun
