08:41:11  <dihedral> wtf was that link for?
08:41:34  <Rubidium> it's jpg, so why would you even consider opening it?
08:41:44  <planetmaker> haha :-)
08:41:52  <Alberth> in particular, why a jpg while he obviously likes GIFs ?
08:41:54  <Rubidium> either it's totally unrelated or it gives you eye cancer
08:42:18  <norbert79> I will go blind, but then at least I don't need to replace my GFX card every 6 months :D
08:43:33  <norbert79> Here, have a GIF: MagLev kiddo: http://ironcladfolly.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/babyheadcrawl.gif?w=265&h=203
08:51:49  <xiong> (http://wiki.openttd.org/Building_bridges) says "The bridges can even be placed so that the starting and ending points differ by height (no more than 1 level)." Is this only true in some circumstances? I fail to build a roadway bridge over some very broken ground, with a difference of one level. The error is, "Bridge heads not at the same level."
08:52:47  <norbert79> ok, one example: river... One side has it's level 1 level lower
08:53:08  <planetmaker> xiong: the slope on the end tile needs to be correct
08:53:12  <norbert79> you start your bridge on the one end, having it the same level, like the ground, buit the bridge ends in a lower side
08:53:12  <planetmaker> no steep slopes
08:53:21  <planetmaker> and not facing the wrong way either
08:54:41  <Alberth> aka, a picture of the situation speaks a thousand words
08:55:22  <norbert79> Alberth: Exactly... Pity, that I cannot start the game atm
08:55:59  <Alberth> except you are not having a problem :)
08:56:26  <norbert79> Like sitting in an open-space office? :)
08:56:53  <norbert79> while your managers sits in a box few meters behind you? :)
08:57:36  <xiong> Okay, I saw the image on that page and the accompanying text: "If the land above the bridge is sloped in some other direction, you will not be able to place a bridge." I assume this is my actual problem. I was misled by the error message.
08:57:38  <Alberth> ok, you have a different problem than not being able to build a bridge :)
08:57:52  <Alberth> norbert79:  ^
08:58:29  <norbert79> Alberth: It would look silly builidng a bridge in the office anyway ;-) Just kidding around, don't worry. I speak english :)
08:58:36  <norbert79> God I sure need my sleep :D
08:58:50  <Alberth> xiong: it is very hard to give an answer without a picture in these cases
08:59:02  *** fjb [~frank@p5DDFE016.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
08:59:12  <xiong> I'm not sure what's meant by 'steep' slopes. All slopes have the same pitch.
08:59:30  <Alberth> norbert79: a bridge over the corridor, for "cables" :p
09:00:01  <xiong> That's okay, Alberth; I don't want to make a big deal out of it. I just didn't want to burn up millions of dollars on a prohibited task.
09:00:01  <norbert79> Alberth: Or a bridge for bridges :D
09:00:35  <peter1138> xiong, 'steep' means a tile with opposite corners at +-2 level difference.
09:00:42  <Alberth> a meta-bridge :)
09:01:04  <Alberth> xiong: http://vcs.openttd.org/svn/browser/trunk/docs/tileh.png   tiles 27 and 29 at the right are steep slopes
09:01:27  <peter1138> ... and 23 and 30
09:01:47  <Alberth> :)
09:02:42  <xiong> Fine.
09:04:31  <xiong> Do I have to slope all terrain between the bridgeheads? Or only at the bridgeheads themselves? Since the point of the bridge is to obviate the need for a lot of leveling.
09:07:37  <Alberth> first try only the bridgeheads :)
09:09:26  <xiong> Did that; failed. Succeeded by sloping all intermediate land. It's not flat but none of it is 'steep'.
09:09:58  <xiong> Also, even with that sloping, failed to build the bridge downhill. Succeeded building from the low end to the high end.
09:10:26  <dihedral> can you provide a screenshot of the terrain?
09:10:36  <xiong> An insane waste of cash. By now, I could have built a flat, four-lane freeway across the gap.
09:11:11  <dihedral> no you could not have, because you still do not know where south is, we only defined north
09:11:42  <dihedral> however, congratulations on getting  Zephyris to post back to your thread that they agree to your terms :-P
09:12:22  <xiong> BTW: I have been pioneering my entry into towns with buses and trucks. My theory is that it's possible to provide some sort of adequate service without a lot of expense or disruption; so later, when I want to demolish entire neighborhoods for a rail station or yard, it's not politically impossible.
09:13:16  <xiong> This brings up a number of fine points. (1) Do road vehicles ever crash? I have not seen it yet and I have a great deal of traffic on some roads.
09:14:04  <norbert79> xiong: With disasters turned on buses are normally hit by UFO's
09:14:19  <dihedral> RV's are pretty much safe of crashing into eachother, however, they can crash with trains and ufos for example
09:14:19  <norbert79> God this sounded creepy already, wirth the word of 'normally'
09:15:35  <dihedral> i am not quite sure about that
09:15:46  <dihedral> i have seen ufos hit more rail tracks than busses to be honest
09:16:08  <Alberth> ufos like tracks for breakfast
09:16:20  <xiong> (2) It's hard to get good coverage with a bus station so, typically, I throw a ro-ro downtown and the 'real' station on the outskirts, making them both parts of the same logical station. I'm starting to extend this approach to freight, with a disconnected bus stop near the remote industry and the 'real' truck stop, logically connected, nearer or on the main road. Is this cheating?
09:16:43  <Alberth> depends on your point of view
09:16:51  <dihedral> arg
09:16:55  <dihedral> i hate that question :-P
09:17:03  <dihedral> it's not :-P
09:17:19  <norbert79> I guess this question would like possibly go to a Game-Play FAQ
09:17:21  <xiong> Well, I'm hoping either that someone will be hostile toward it or that everyone will shrug.
09:18:17  <Alberth> as usually, you get a bit of both :)
09:18:17  <dihedral> xiong, as oppinions vary, you will not get everybody to agree to one statement - appart from 'humands need oxygen in order to live'
09:18:31  <dihedral> and ignoring everybody else who does not share your general oppinion is not really the way forward
09:18:53  <xiong> I assume that it is not possible to extend the station spread to 60 tiles, put down a dozen bus stops in a small area, and connect them to disconnected stops near each town. It might work but I wouldn't get paid for the distance between the towns, only between the actual stops visited.
09:19:12  <Alberth> xiong: in single player, it is fine, obviously. In multi-player, they usually have rules about cases like this
09:19:13  *** fonsinchen [~fonsinche@brln-4dba95e8.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #openttd
09:19:37  <xiong> I don't want to get into any bad habits.
09:19:44  <dihedral> oh man
09:19:56  <planetmaker> rules are different on every server
09:20:03  <planetmaker> if the station spread allows it, it's fine
09:20:24  <dihedral> in most cases
09:20:26  <xiong> So, correct that I'm paid for distance between stops?
09:20:27  <planetmaker> always make sure you play the game such that YOU have fun. That's why it's a game
09:20:36  <dihedral> Luukland for example does not like using disconnected stations
09:20:55  <dihedral> but then, if you do not like the server, move on to another one
09:20:56  <planetmaker> you're paid for distance between station signs
09:21:04  <Alberth> xiong: http://wiki.openttd.org/Game_mechanics   <-- all you might want to know how things work
09:21:10  <planetmaker> which can be quite a difference ;-)
09:21:21  <planetmaker> like one tile travel, 64 tiles payment :-P
09:21:25  <dihedral> 64 tiles + 64 tiles :-P
09:21:29  <planetmaker> nope
09:21:33  <xiong> Hm. Then one might actually run a bizarre road along the lines I described.
09:21:39  <dihedral> so you could get paid for 128 tiles you did not travle :-P
09:21:45  <planetmaker> IIRC the sign is in the middle, isn't it?
09:21:51  <dihedral> nope
09:22:00  <dihedral> the sign is where you place the first square
09:22:02  <planetmaker> then you're right :-) Even worse :-P
09:22:19  <dihedral> and the sign will only move when you delete the relevant square (iirc)
09:22:23  <Alberth> planetmaker: at best of the original station, the sign does not move when extending the station
09:22:38  <xiong> Well, I tell you, I'll be consistent about this from now on. The first stop to go in should be central, I suppose -- or for industry, perhaps on the other side from the cargo destination.
09:23:34  <planetmaker> Alberth: then I mixed it up with cases where tiles were removed, the station walked
09:24:04  <planetmaker> I now wonder when and how it updates when I remove tiles ;-)
09:24:17  <Alberth> xiong: you don't have to choose. You can try both ways, and like one or the other. Just be flexible enough to adjust when other people want it (or don't play with those people :p ).
09:24:31  <Alberth> planetmaker: me too, but not enough to try now :)
09:24:40  <planetmaker> same here :-P

09:27:12  <bob12345> yes good morninig
09:27:49  <xiong> Is it always sufficient for a single tile to overlap between an entity and the station coverage area? I'm pretty sure it matters that all buildings in a town are covered and most seem single-tile. But what about multi-tile industry? I'm particularly minded of oil wells, which don't really seem single units so much as groups.
09:29:10  <Alberth> station coverage is tricky at best. The simplest solution seems to be to watch the station placement GUI that displays the cargoes before placement.

10:06:16  <xiong> Okay. Service stimulates demand for service.
10:07:09  <xiong> This is not only true for town which grow when serviced. It is also true for industry, which demands more service although it does not grow in size.
10:08:09  <xiong> I'm starting to think that the solid base of road services is very good indeed. It's not highly profitable but I can expand and contract it easily.
10:09:01  <xiong> Last night, I spent quite a while building rail out to a steel mill. The moment I got the station built, the steel mill itself disappeared.
10:09:26  <SmatZ> bad luck
10:10:20  <xiong> It took me years to get the M needed to fund another steel mill in that loc. I don't know if that investment could ever be profitable without a map-wide network of ore mines feeding it.

10:12:15  <xiong> Well, I'm going to guess that the mill disappeared because it wasn't getting any service. Perhaps having an unserviced station accelerated the... decision to fold. A cheap bus service out there might have kept that mill in business until I could get the rail together. Is any of this plausible?

10:24:34  <SmatZ> planetmaker: really? then I said something wrong :)
10:25:03  <SmatZ> when player is building a connection
10:25:14  <SmatZ> it doesn't matter if he builds the station first or not
10:25:21  <SmatZ> as long as it's not serviced :)
10:26:16  <planetmaker> SmatZ, I think so. Earlier one could gain points for the score table by just spamming the map with lots of 1-tile stations. It was fixed somewhen in the last 18 months or so
10:26:54  <planetmaker> It's an original TTD bug - so there OpenTTD deviates from TTD behaviour
10:27:11  <xiong> Well, so, my current theory is to build the roadway network first, to lock in the towns and industries.
10:27:22  <SmatZ> planetmaker: right, maybe I missed the discussion is about company performance rating :)
10:27:41  <SmatZ> eg. I don't see anyone talking about company performance rating
10:28:06  <SmatZ> oh...
10:28:08  <SmatZ> OK
10:28:09  <SmatZ> :-D
10:28:11  <planetmaker> hm... well... :-)
10:28:19  <SmatZ> it is not the same in all meanings
10:28:21  <SmatZ> like
10:28:23  <SmatZ> when there is a station
10:28:29  <SmatZ> you can't build anything else at those tiles
10:28:32  <SmatZ> :)
10:28:41  <planetmaker> now I'm lost :-)
10:28:50  <SmatZ> [12:14:49] <SmatZ> unserviced station is the same as no station
10:28:53  <xiong> Nearby that: I theorize that it is much harder to get a good rating from a small town. A small town may generate only a dozen pax a year but if I don't get most of them, they find me 'mediocre' or 'poor'. I have big cities with hundreds of unserviced pax waiting but since I'm able to get a greater percentage of them away quickly, I get a 'good' or 'very good' rating.
10:29:10  <xiong> Agree, disagree?
10:29:25  <SmatZ> ^^^ that was realted to the question if an unserviced station could keep the industry from disappearing
10:29:27  <planetmaker> yes. Ok. It matters on the map
10:29:48  <planetmaker> But it doesn't matter for the score. And it might not matter for the local authority (not sure though)
10:29:51  <xiong> SmatZ, Actually, I thought the unserviced station provoked the disappearance.
10:29:56  <planetmaker> ah, ok
10:36:06  <SmatZ> xiong: you should be able to get good rating in a small town easier
10:36:17  <SmatZ> by having two bus stops and two busses going between them

10:38:14  <SmatZ> xiong: good services stations (short time since last load/unload) increase town rating, others decrease
10:38:26  <SmatZ> only stations near to city centre count
10:38:33  <SmatZ> (but what is "near" is a question)
10:39:27  <xiong> Well, I always build my station in the center -- as close to that as I can get. If I want my buses and truck to load elsewhere, I connect an outlying stop.
10:39:27  <SmatZ> http://nopaste.info/6ffda27776.html the responsible code
10:40:05  <xiong> I don't have any towns with more than one station. Perhaps I should consider local service.
10:40:55  <xiong> I do have outlying industries with their own stations. But not two logical stations *in* one town.
10:41:09  <xiong> ... let's see what happens...
10:42:04  <norbert79> I guess OpenTTD has been moved to a scientific level during this discussion :)
10:42:21  <SmatZ> the distance to centre doesn't metter - either it is near enough so it counts, or it isn't so it doesn't count
10:42:26  <SmatZ> it's 1 or 0 :)
10:42:42  <SmatZ> similiar for the time since last vehicle visit

12:50:10  <xiong> I want to make a list of town names. Should this just be a straight list or do I have the duty/freedom to specify anything about the town names? That is, can I say 'this is a big city name', 'this city should be near the sea' --?
12:50:33  <norbert79> xiong: Why wqould you like to make a list of townnames?
12:50:43  <norbert79> Why don't you just list them using the right button?
12:51:26  <xiong> I seriously do not care for British town names. They all sound to my ears like 'North St. Twiddleesburgh-by-the-sea'.
12:51:49  <norbert79> xiong: Then select a different collection in the settings menu
12:51:53  <xiong> I have loaded Alaskan Town Names, which is slightly better.
12:52:07  <xiong> But I'd prefer to create my own set of town names.
12:53:09  <norbert79> I think you have a town-list name selection in your langugae too
12:53:22  <norbert79> at least it is available in the settings
12:56:38  <xiong> Um, actually, no, I don't see 'American Town Names' or 'USA Town Names'. Anyway, I want to write Pennsylvania Town Names.
12:57:00  <xiong> I don't want Denver and Houston in there. Just Pennsy.
12:57:35  <norbert79> I doubt, that you will find something similar, like that
12:57:45  <norbert79> but you can still create an own-addon and add those names
12:57:52  <xiong> I agree. That's why I expect to make it myself.
12:57:52  <norbert79> like with the Canadian Twon Names set
12:58:27  <xiong> No trouble editing the list of names. But I don't know what additional flags may be set, if any, for a given name.
12:58:27  <norbert79> Then you have to get familar yourself with GRF creation
12:59:03  <xiong> Actually, I'm hoping to fob the work off onto somebody who knows what he's doing.
12:59:32  <xiong> I just need to know what information to supply.
13:00:46  <norbert79> xiong: :) Things do not work like that within this community :) You cannot expect anyone to get things done for you, even if you ask for that kindly. You have to take the necessary step, and do it on your own
13:00:55  <norbert79> as this is a special request
13:01:09  <norbert79> and not aligning with already current GRF developments

13:01:15  <planetmaker> xiong, there's to my knowledge at least one or two Chinese town name sets
13:01:30  <norbert79> planetmaker: He/she is looiking for Pennsylvania state names only
13:01:35  <norbert79> town names
13:01:38  <planetmaker> oh :-)
13:02:06  <planetmaker> well, then. There's a number of townname newgrfs on the DevZone.
13:02:27  <planetmaker> It would just need to take one, replace the town names by those of your own choice. And then nearly be done with it
13:02:30  <planetmaker> Just mind the licenses
13:02:38  <norbert79> normally all are GPL
13:02:48  <planetmaker> On the DevZone: yes, all
13:02:56  <norbert79> yet keep in mind if you want to release it, you have to follow GPL rules
13:02:56  *** Lachie_ [whitey@creep.bur.st] has joined #openttd

13:03:14  <planetmaker> wouldn't be hard, if you make it GPL, too and host it on the DevZone
13:03:21  <norbert79> xiong: Your name and ID sounds like one

13:04:02  <Belugas> hello
13:04:04  <planetmaker> no offense meant
13:04:05  <xiong> I'm sorry but I'm not making myself clear. The *source* file for creation of a town name addon: Should it contain anything except a list of names?
13:04:06  <norbert79> Hello Belugas
13:04:07  <planetmaker> hi Belugas
13:04:21  <planetmaker> xiong, look at the existing sets
13:04:25  <Belugas> hi guys
13:04:26  <peter1138> It specifically shouldn't contain a list of names.
13:04:26  <norbert79> xiong: GRF creation is not that simple by just having one file, and thats it...

13:05:42  <xiong> I realize it's not that simple. Nothing is ever that simple. But I can write down, on a single sheet of paper, a list of names -- one name per line. That's a starting point.

13:07:31  <xiong> What I'm asking is: Does the game require or recognize any other information about a town name, other than the bare name itself? For comparison: Freeciv has names for various civilizations. It knows which names belong to coastal cities and will try to assign coastal names to coastal cities, in the game.
13:07:51  <xiong> Obviously, the coastalness of a city name must be stored alongside the name itself. Clear?
13:08:17  <norbert79> xiong: I think OpenTTD it's more simple: it uses a pre-defined list of names of a set, and thats it
13:08:40  <norbert79> you have to define what set that would be, so the names will be created accordingly
13:08:41  *** Brianetta [~brian@188-220-91-30.zone11.bethere.co.uk] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
13:09:24  <norbert79> xiong: And btw Freeciv does not store this information for all nations, especially for those, who never had any coasts
13:09:28  <xiong> That's my question. So, there's nothing to distinguish one name from another; it's just a grab-bag. Therefore, I want to avoid names like 'McKeesport', since there's no guarantee it will actually be used anywhere near water.
13:09:56  <norbert79> planetmaker: Ok, can you help me out on this one? I never really cared about this part of the game
13:10:24  <dihedral> head - desk
13:10:41  <xiong> Nor is there any guarantee that, say, 'Philadelphia' will be assigned to a large city -- a city in openttd terms, which IIUC means it will grow faster than usual.
13:10:46  <norbert79> dihedral: Well, he might find it important, I just don't care on the selection really
13:10:51  <dihedral> why is it they all have to nag and bother one single person on topics
13:10:56  <dihedral> oh - i forgot - he's the authority :-P
13:11:08  <dihedral> norbert79, he = xiong ?
13:11:21  <norbert79> dihedral: Yes
13:11:33  <dihedral> he finds it crucially important to define something like GA and NGA before he can proceed with expressing what he is on about
13:11:39  <dihedral> and still, we have not seen anything
13:11:43  <xiong> I care about city names because I must type them frequently and because they are the main way of thinking about a place. My brain is full. I already have Pennsylvania place names stored in there.
13:11:50  <dihedral> just a bunch of jibber jabber
13:11:55  <norbert79> xiong: Ehm, no city in the game will be as large as the assigned name. Some big cities might start with 315 inhabitants at the start. If you want to have a good layout, following real circumstances you ahve to create the map then for yourself
13:12:21  <planetmaker> No location-dependence that I know of for towns
13:12:36  <dihedral> there is a minor location dependence for station names
13:12:41  <planetmaker> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/nml/repository/changes/docs/reference.html <-- check out section on town names
13:14:12  <xiong> No thanks, norbert79; I just want a set of default names.
13:14:24  <xiong> This is not a big deal.
13:14:45  <norbert79> xiong: There are no "defaults" for Pennsylvania... You have only an american set built in, thats it
13:15:10  <xiong> Actually, no, really, I do not see such a thing.
13:15:21  <GhostlyDeath> The American list should include every single town in the US
13:15:35  <norbert79> xiong: Settings menu, right side
13:15:40  <GhostlyDeath> If it doesn't already
13:15:53  <xiong> I'm sorry if I'm using words in a confusing manner. I'm trying to be very clear about what I intend to make: A list of towns in Pennsylvania.
13:16:12  <norbert79> Not seperatly, but included probably in the american twon set names
13:16:23  <norbert79> for a seperate list you have to create a GRF on your own
13:16:32  <norbert79> or create a map manually, and renaming each town one by one
13:17:16  <GhostlyDeath> Using the default OpenTTD you are screwed unless you make your own list

13:19:15  <planetmaker> which can be a problem at times :-D
13:19:22  <dihedral> more 180 degrees if you ask me
13:19:30  <xiong> My questions were answered long ago.
13:19:38  <norbert79> xiong: Dude, let me be honest: noone is really caring about the problem you are facing with... If you want to have Pennsylvanian names only, do it for yourself...
13:19:55  <xiong> norbert79, That's my plan. What's the problem?
13:19:55  <dihedral> make a grf, upload it to bananas
13:19:56  <norbert79> So lets switch topics finally
13:20:03  <dihedral> and watch the 'downloded' number

13:52:56  * andythenorth_ has seen many things in this channel, but not a house price discussion :)
13:52:59  <davis> Priski where are you from? Finland?
13:52:59  <andythenorth_> how very british !
13:53:04  <Priski> rent, everything...
13:53:09  <Priski> davis: jeah
13:53:13  <davis> i like Finland :I
13:53:25  <norbert79> Priski: And we just had a business visit from Finland :)
13:53:35  <Priski> first snow day here today
13:53:45  <norbert79> Priski: Awww, don't mention it, I don't wanna
13:53:50  <Priski> :D
13:53:58  <davis> summer please.
13:54:04  <norbert79> Priski: We had the worst snowing last year, it wasn't snowing like for the past 30 years
13:54:07  <Prof_Frink> Snow please.
13:54:14  <davis> shush
13:54:24  <norbert79> No, thank you, had to remove every day 10-15 cm of snow off my car
13:54:34  <Belugas> true that peter1138.  I remember you started with 25 years, i think
13:55:11  <norbert79> And now, Backin up song! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIoG4PlEPtY&feature=email

13:55:15  <Prof_Frink> norbert79: A small price to pay to be able to go and do some proper climbing.
13:55:35  <norbert79> Prof_Frink: Well, my country is rather flat, so not much use of a snow here :)
13:55:40  <davis> sure is usefull to cool down your beer , Priski
13:55:47  <norbert79> Priski: Ok, this looks cool
13:56:12  <Priski> well put your beer outside on snow and forget them for couple of hours
13:56:12  * Prof_Frink grabs axes and heads off up to Priski's
13:56:27  <Priski> your beer is frosen pretty fast

13:58:15  <Belugas> hehehe
13:58:18  <Belugas> n sahara
13:58:22  <Belugas> not enough place to dive
13:58:23  <Priski> there it is pretty sunny
13:58:24  <norbert79> thank you... Well, about the climate: true. Summer hot and above 40°C on days (in shadow), and in winter, sometimes going down to -25°C
13:58:34  <Belugas> india sounds pleasant
13:58:44  <norbert79> Yeah, it's nice as people tell me

14:01:49  <norbert79> Indeed :)
14:02:04  <norbert79> When I was a kid, I had a 'bob' made out of plastic
14:02:14  <norbert79> a flat sled, not totally flat
14:02:23  <norbert79> my dad brought me to a place where we could have lot of fun
14:02:32  <norbert79> and I didn't know that the area next to it was a ski-slope
14:02:36  <norbert79> no signals, nothing
14:02:39  <norbert79> and I went there
14:02:42  <davis> hahaha
14:02:54  <norbert79> I was sliding down, was funny, because it started being very fast
14:03:06  <norbert79> could stop at the end though but boy I was scared for a bit :D
14:03:09  <davis> yeah i crashed the ski-slope with a "snow tube" once , got a 30 days ban
14:03:26  <norbert79> ouch
14:03:33  <davis> worth it

14:05:32  <davis> anyhow winter can be fun , still i prefer summer
14:05:38  <norbert79> same here

14:09:06  <norbert79> Guess thats a yes :D
14:09:24  <norbert79> Eddi|zuHause: Neither is there any beer called Kohl :D
14:09:27  <Belugas> mmh.. excuse me if I ask but... while sending UPD packages, do i need to wait for the server to answer? like an acknowledgement or such?
14:09:41  <planetmaker> norbert79, but I've seen Jeltzin vodka in stores here :-)
14:09:51  <norbert79> Belugas: UDO transfer is kinda like echo of a submarine, no handshake is needed like with TCP
14:09:55  <norbert79> UDP
14:10:13  <norbert79> Belugas: If the receiver sees it, it answers
14:10:14  <Eddi|zuHause> "Just one Ping"
14:11:00  <norbert79> planetmaker: And it indeed exists... Weird, thats a yes then :)

14:49:13  <davis> indeed!
14:49:27  * andythenorth_ ponders how to test http://bugs.openttd.org/task/4096
14:50:43  <Rubidium> thoroughly
14:50:50  <andythenorth_> Rubidium: is it the 2nd byte of var 18 I need to check?
14:50:51  <planetmaker> andythenorth_, for testing purposes: double production for one case. And start a map with HIGH industry count and cheat yourself money
14:50:57  <planetmaker> and build some. And check.
14:51:03  <planetmaker> Primary industries are easiest then
14:51:21  <davis> http://verydemotivational.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/demotivational-posters-my-country-men-observe-me-scooting-along-at-a-brisk-mph.jpg
14:51:25  <andythenorth_> planetmaker: it's a tile check, so fooling with industry properties would be more complicated :P
14:51:30  <planetmaker> if it works - then you can attach the real purpose to this CB
14:51:48  <planetmaker> andythenorth_, then change the acceptance
14:51:59  <andythenorth_> I'm just going to allow/disallow building for each value in turn
14:52:05  <andythenorth_> and manually change and rebuild

14:55:50  <planetmaker> andythenorth_, fast forward.
14:56:02  <planetmaker> modify likelyhood of industries before you test
14:57:35  <andythenorth_> hmm
14:57:43  <andythenorth_> either the patch is flawed or my code is flawed
14:57:48  <andythenorth_> probably my code
14:59:15  <andythenorth_> I am playing 'guess which byte' for var 18
15:09:12  <andythenorth_> uint16 callback_res = GetIndustryTileCallback(CBID_INDTILE_SHAPE_CHECK, 0, creation_type << 8 | itspec_index, gfx, &ind, ind_tile);
15:09:26  <andythenorth_> puts the creation type in second byte?
15:10:06  * Belugas nods
15:10:40  <Belugas> or at least, moves it 8 bits to the left
15:10:56  <andythenorth_> and so in nfo I use a shift of 08h to read that byte?

15:37:37  <KouDy> hello
15:38:23  <andythenorth_> hi

15:42:29  <andythenorth_> Rubidium: this should prevent building if player is prospecting
15:42:29  <andythenorth_> http://pastebin.com/1XjzThgr
15:42:31  <andythenorth_> it doesn't
15:42:37  <andythenorth_> so either I'm wrong, or the patch is
15:43:04  <andythenorth_> probably m
15:43:05  <andythenorth_> e
15:43:23  <Eddi|zuHause> comments are a little scarce
15:44:55  <planetmaker> andythenorth_, IF there are other information encoded as well with that variable, you'll need to apply some kind of mask. But I don't know the answer to that IF ;-)
15:45:31  <andythenorth_> I shouldn't need to mask if I'm bit shifting to get the second byte....
15:45:55  <andythenorth_> hmm
15:45:57  <planetmaker> unless there's also information in the other bits which you're not interested in
15:46:09  <andythenorth_> I'm not sure
15:46:10  <planetmaker> always mask-out everything you don't need

15:46:23  <planetmaker> that's playing it safe :-)
15:46:26  <andythenorth_> this has no spec yet, and I can't read the source very well
15:47:06  <andythenorth_> I'll sort it out later
15:47:16  <andythenorth_> looks like rubi is bust with other stuff :)
15:47:20  <andythenorth_> busy /s
15:47:27  <Eddi|zuHause> what's the location of the code?
15:47:33  <andythenorth_> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/4096
15:47:45  <andythenorth_> last diff on that ticket
15:50:27  <Eddi|zuHause> can you use gdb/other debugger to set a breakpoint on this line: +					CommandCost ret = CreateNewIndustryHelper(tile, it, flags, indspec, RandomRange(indspec->num_table), random_var8f, random_initial_bits, cur_company.GetOriginalValue(), IACT_PROSPECTCREATION, &ind);
15:50:52  <andythenorth_> I can if I learn how to set breakpoints
15:51:30  <Eddi|zuHause> i have never done that myself, but i'm sure several people here can explain this
15:51:39  <Eddi|zuHause> and step forward to this line: +	uint16 callback_res = GetIndustryTileCallback(CBID_INDTILE_SHAPE_CHECK, 0, creation_type << 8 | itspec_index, gfx, &ind, ind_tile);
15:51:42  <planetmaker> andythenorth_, it seems to be a bit thingy describing the creation_type. Which is in the 2nd byte
15:51:45  <Eddi|zuHause> if the breakpoint hits
15:51:51  <planetmaker> so you check for 1,2,4 or 8.
15:51:55  <planetmaker> I might totally be wrong
15:52:58  <planetmaker> with 1=mapgen, 2=random, 4=user built, 8=user prospected

15:53:07  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: no, it's not a bitmask
15:53:10  * andythenorth_ learns about breakpoints
15:53:27  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: it's a normal enum
15:53:29  <planetmaker> it's an enum which is bit-shifted... hm, yes
15:53:38  *** theholyduck [~holyduck@93.179.23.178] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
15:53:39  <planetmaker> vice versa than I read it
15:53:51  <planetmaker> so still one of 0,1,2,3
15:57:57  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: yes, and in his varaction2 he checks for "is it 3?" or "else"
15:58:44  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm just not sure what the results mean
15:58:52  <planetmaker> yes
15:58:54  <Eddi|zuHause> 0x401 or 0x400
15:59:06  <planetmaker> andythenorth_, you probably want to check for 2 or 3 :-)
15:59:32  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: why would he?
15:59:41  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: he said he wanted to test prospecting
15:59:55  <planetmaker> oh. missed that :-)
16:00:48  <Eddi|zuHause> my untrained eyes see nothing obviously wrong, though
16:01:43  <planetmaker> same here. But where do you take the 0x40[0|1] from?

16:15:16  <planetmaker> well, yes... but it doesn't show in your code anywhere
16:15:21  <planetmaker> why do you add 0x80?
16:15:35  <planetmaker> and not just \w401 ?
16:15:41  <planetmaker> Probably it's my NFO failing there
16:15:42  <andythenorth_> let me check

16:16:25  <andythenorth_> the return value needs 0x80 added
16:16:28  <andythenorth_> not sure why
16:16:32  <andythenorth_> because it's 15 bit?
16:17:00  <Eddi|zuHause> 0x8000 must be added for it to be a callback result
16:17:24  <andythenorth_> that's why then :)
16:17:29  <Eddi|zuHause> that's a general NFO thing
16:17:33  <planetmaker> so... I'd return \w8401?
16:17:42  <planetmaker> \wx8401
16:18:00  <andythenorth_> yes I guess
16:18:50  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that works in this case, but you get additional headaches when you want to return a decimal number and need to add 0x8000

18:06:21  <Dagda> In my game i clic on "target ( trains' way' window -> set), this action copy the way, right, but i cant see "end of coop order", i see "end of order" --> I must do that  on all trains to copy the order

18:07:06  <Dagda> s/target/goto
18:07:21  <Dagda> I said that in the PS ....

19:03:23  <Eddi|zuHause> "This line sets the grfid of the resulting grf. The value is the letters AB followed by a byte with value 2 and then another one with value 3. The semicolon marks the end of the statement." <-- this line fails to mention the convention about "AB" being your initials, "" being your personal grf id, and "" being the grf version
19:03:29  <planetmaker> and they'd allow for nice things as visual change over time
19:03:59  <Yexo> Eddi|zuHause: a lot of grfs don't follow that "convention" anyway
19:03:59  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause: that convention fails easily for group projects
19:04:01  <CIA-2> OpenTTD: terkhen * r20931 /trunk/src/dock_gui.cpp: -Document: Waterways toolbar click functions.
19:04:07  <Yexo> so it was deliberatly not included inthe documentation
19:04:18  <planetmaker> And the version thing in the ID is nearly obsolete

19:06:38  <andythenorth_> road types is just more complexity in gameplay though?
19:06:49  <dihedral> so now planetmaker is a dev, everybody appart from planetmaker goes crazy on commits :-P
19:07:03  <andythenorth_> would road types be a griefing opportunity in MP?
19:07:14  <andythenorth_> i.e. rebuild roads to incompatible types?
19:07:55  <frosch123> andythenorth_: you can upgrade public bridges only to better ones
19:08:08  <Terkhen> IMO that heavily depends on how they would interact with town /not owned roads
19:08:14  <frosch123> though that does only work as long as "betterness" is transitive

19:09:07  <andythenorth_> if I build a road, and a competitor starts using it with trucks needing (e.g.) type B roads, could I downgrade to type A roads (incompatible with those trucks)?
19:09:09  *** pugi [~pugi@p4FCC2A8A.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
19:09:59  <planetmaker> andythenorth_: that probably depends on the implementation and should probably not be possible
19:10:42  <andythenorth_> or in case of (e.g.) bulldozers, which might be restricted to (e.g.) trails... competitor can upgrade trail to highway, blocking my vehicles?
19:11:36  <planetmaker> a competitor can't change your roads. Same as he can't change your rails
19:11:45  <planetmaker> public roads... depends, I guess
19:11:50  <planetmaker> or maybe not at all
19:12:29  <Terkhen> but you can use roads of other companies, and use this to screw those that are using yours

20:12:11  <planetmaker> uh. Good question. But the Airports will probably have some, let me dig
20:13:07  <planetmaker> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/airportsplus/repository/entry/sprites/airport_small.pnml <-- that might contain what you look for
20:13:33  <Lakie> Cool, I'll have a look over it, thanks
20:13:58  <planetmaker> no problem. I haven't written industries / airports myself yet; what you see there is Yexo's doing
20:14:15  <Lakie> Ah
20:14:32  <planetmaker> I'm not 100% sure how far industry tile layouts are so far supported
20:14:32  <Lakie> Does it know the difference between the two forms?
20:14:42  <planetmaker> between which forms?
20:14:53  <Lakie> (Although its not really a huge important difference)
20:15:06  <Lakie> Oh, there are two forms of action2tilelayouts
20:15:09  <frosch123> you can save a byte or so :p
20:15:22  * andythenorth_ considers flying some metal across the map
20:15:30  <Lakie> Pretty much, there are some other differences
20:15:31  <Yexo> industry tile layouts are the same as airport tile layouts in nml, except for the rotation property
20:15:32  <planetmaker> I don't know, Lakie :-)
20:15:42  <Lakie> like one allows no ground sprite, the other allows no building sprite
20:15:48  <planetmaker> ^ there's the export on them
20:15:49  <Yexo> which is not supported for industry tile layouts and required for airport tile layouts
20:15:59  <Lakie> Thanks, Yexo
20:16:04  <Yexo> oh, not sure about that actually
20:16:19  <planetmaker> s/export/expert/ :-)
20:16:39  <planetmaker> typo which even make sense are the worst
20:16:54  <Lakie> hehe
20:17:28  <Yexo> Lakie: I only see one type here: http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Action0Industries#Set_industry_layout_s_0A_
20:18:06  <Yexo> the special case (copy layout from another industry) is not supported, and I don't the the free land check is currently supported, but the latter is easy to add
20:18:10  <Lakie> I was thinking more of these, http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Action2HousesIndustryTiles

20:20:29  <Lakie> Yes,
20:20:44  <frosch123> [22:17] <Lakie> like one allows no ground sprite, the other allows no building sprite <- the second format is a superset of the first one. there is no point in using the first one
20:20:44  <Lakie> Already wrote quite a number in nfo
20:21:00  <planetmaker> :-)
20:21:01  <Lakie> True,
20:21:09  <planetmaker> Having an example in NML will be awesome
20:21:21  <planetmaker> We'd like to have it, too, as a regression check for NML
20:21:29  <Lakie> To  be honest, it makes little difference to me.
20:21:38  <planetmaker> :-)
20:21:47  <Lakie> spam bin has an nfo one which I'm cloning
20:21:55  <planetmaker> It's no difference, if one knows NFO :-)
20:22:15  <Lakie> True
20:22:23  <planetmaker> But as I wrote, it's - at least for me - easier to understand my own code when I come back to it much later, like weeks or months
20:22:47  <planetmaker> and I like to use png graphics :-)
20:22:53  <Yexo> I think where nml will shine most is when newgrf airports are supported, mostly because of the very complex varaction2 chains
20:23:01  <Lakie> Thats a nicity
20:23:12  <Lakie> converting to and from pcx isn't so convient
20:23:22  <Yexo> computations in nfo in advanced varaction2 chains are not easy to read
20:23:45  <Yexo> the png support is nice, but that is something that grfcodec could in theory support too

20:58:56  <planetmaker> good night & weekend, Belugas
20:58:58  <Lakie> Bye Belugas
20:59:12  <Lakie> Yexo, you may want to add these, http://pastebin.com/Ms2m8NBT ?
20:59:28  <Lakie> minus the typos in 0x60's
21:01:34  <Lakie> Although, I'll go clean them up a little
21:01:43  <Lakie> Should I provide a name for each 'chunk'?
21:01:45  <Zuu> Bye Belugas
21:02:03  <planetmaker> chunk as 0x40+ and 0x60+?
21:02:07  <Yexo> the 60x vars should be split and in a separate array
21:02:10  <Lakie> var40 for example is xyXXYY, thus 4 possible chunks
21:02:11  <planetmaker> Other features seem to have separate ones
21:02:12  <Lakie> Ah, ok
21:02:14  <Yexo> like for vehicles
21:02:39  <Yexo> if x is the lower byte of XX I'd say use two chunks, XX and YY (x and y are not needed)
21:03:05  <Yexo> hmm, industries seems to use one chunk for that
21:03:06  <planetmaker> Lakie: I'd not call them get_xxx
21:03:35  <Lakie> Well, I tend to use the highest bit, xy as one chunk
21:03:54  <Lakie> rather than xxyy
21:04:34  <Lakie> But I presume its to make accessing information easier
21:04:58  <Yexo> industries also uses one variables for xyXXYY
21:05:05  <Yexo> so it's ok
21:05:13  <Lakie> Okies
21:05:22  <Yexo> not sure what is best, I guess most of the time xy is sufficient (and as such easiest to use)
21:05:44  <Yexo> planetmaker: agreed, but what would be better names. xxx_nearby_tile like for industries?
21:06:55  <planetmaker> would that be more consistent?
21:07:07  <planetmaker> seems like...

21:09:14  <Lakie> Well, with respect to the action0, I'd drop the _factor from build/remove_cost, but thats only 'cause I prefer less typing. :D
21:09:40  <Rubidium> then write GRF directly :)
21:09:46  <Lakie> Heh

21:10:34  <Lakie> Heh
21:10:53  <planetmaker> Lakie: I meanwhile tend to prefer the longer, better descriptive name
21:10:54  <Lakie> Well, planetmaker and Yexo, I don't mind the names for them being changed
21:11:08  <planetmaker> And it actually is not cost, it's "just" a factor to some base cost...
21:11:18  <Lakie> True,
21:11:33  <planetmaker> such easier for new authors :-)
21:11:46  <planetmaker> and a reminder for the dinosaurs ;-)
21:13:11  <Lakie> Well, yes. As I said I'm generally not found of long names, like "thisfunctionaddxandythendoesfoo(const int & x, const int &y)", I prefer "addfoo(const int & x, const int &y)", mainly laziness I guess though
21:13:44  <Lakie> But it is simplier if you know what it does

21:27:19  <Terkhen> Zuu: you are right, line 322 is now wrong
21:27:20  <Lakie> Can I decompile the grf into nml, planetmaker?
21:27:34  <planetmaker> unfortunately not, Lakie

22:35:05  <Rubidium> Lakie: how hard would it be for TTDP to add information about the reason why an industry callback (28, 2F) is called (somewhat like var18 in cb22)
22:35:38  <Lakie> I'm unsure?
22:35:38  <Rubidium> for 28 and 2F it would be the values from cb22 with another value for "prospected"
22:36:07  <Lakie> I presume you could move a value in, it depends on how Csboka coded it
22:37:09  <TrueBrain> Yexo: is there something wrong with your alphabet? 'p' before 'b'?
22:38:26  * Rubidium agrees with TrueBrain that the order is broken

22:50:08  <Eddi|zuHause> GhostlyDeath: it means "not a lamp"
22:50:35  <[twisti]> im curious, what is the goal of TTD ? it seems like it only takes a few minutes to get positive cash flow, so is there any larger goal ?
22:50:38  <Lakie> Heh
22:50:50  <GhostlyDeath> [twisti]: To monopolize
22:51:00  <GhostlyDeath> Within country boundries
22:51:25  <GhostlyDeath> To survive until 2050 and become a multi trilionair
22:51:26  <Rubidium> [twisti]: depends on what you want; "1000 performance rating in 2050" is the default, but you can come up with countless others
22:52:07  <[twisti]> what is performance rating ?
22:52:08  <Rubidium> like connect everything, all station ratings above X, all industry ratings above X, make a realistic network
22:52:57  <Eddi|zuHause> [twisti]: things like "connect all industries", or "get all industries to maximum production" [2000-ish for primary industries, 20000-ish for secondary], "build a passenger network" or similar
22:53:00  <[twisti]> ah, that sounds a bit more challenging than "make money"
22:54:02  <[twisti]> ive got another question, i saw super complicated signs patterns in the wiki, what are those really used for ? isnt it generally the case that you have a train that just goes between, say, a coal mine and a power plant back and forth ?
22:55:23  * Rubidium is off to dreamland

22:56:56  <XeryusTC> hmm

22:58:26  <XeryusTC> (but with .htm renamed to .html)
23:00:55  <TrueBrain> don't mix grfs with ais :p
23:02:16  <Eddi|zuHause> [twisti]: you usually have two trains, so while one is moving, the other one loads at the station. and when the distances get longer or the production higher, you need even more
23:02:54  <Eddi|zuHause> [twisti]: and when you then have a factory that gets cargo from 10 steel mills and 20 farms, you need serious track layouts to get enough trains going
23:02:58  <[twisti]> but the general pattern a-b-a-b... holds, you generally dont use trains to go from a to b to c to d etc ?
23:03:27  <Eddi|zuHause> [twisti]: for cargo, probably not, for passengers it might differ
