01:45:37  <Monarch1st> i've got a couple questions if there's anyone here...
01:46:59  <Monarch1st> after loading, a red box pops up that says enable multiple newgrf engine sets - how do i do that?
01:48:01  <Monarch1st> and 2 - are there any engine sets, i guess, that extend further back? i'd like to play with engines around the time of the transcontinental railroad
01:48:10  <Monarch1st> (or even further really but this for now)
01:49:29  <Monarch1st> (say 1830 for the first intercity rail line)
02:11:06  <lugo> there's an advanced setting for that
02:11:55  <lugo> NARS2 starts about 1850 or so
02:18:35  <Monarch1st> (ah, someone!)
02:18:48  <Monarch1st> nars2 - is it in newgrf? i dont remember seeing it
02:20:03  <lugo> yep should be avaulable through online content
02:21:30  <Monarch1st> i dont see a nars2 - is the name expanded in the list perhaps?
02:22:51  <Monarch1st> ah ha - i see a nars1, and a narvw
02:23:41  <Monarch1st> and its probably going to ask to 'enable multiple engine sets'
02:23:43  <Monarch1st> how do i do that?
02:24:00  <lugo> there's an advanced setting for that
02:24:21  <Monarch1st> where is it found?
02:25:08  <lugo> can't remember, there are so many..
02:26:02  <Monarch1st> yeah, i know. hundreds at least
02:32:38  <Monarch1st> ahhh...that might be it
02:33:17  <Monarch1st> nother question if you dont mind - how do you add newgrf files to a savegame?
02:34:39  <Monarch1st> it doesnt look like you can, at least its not obvious in the newgrf settings
02:35:22  <Monarch1st> but i like this map. is there a way to find the seed so i can generate it again?

03:02:57  <Monarch1st> do you know some about the newgrf files?
03:04:47  <Monarch1st> let me ask just in case...
03:05:02  <Monarch1st> can do you add newgrf files to a savegame?
03:05:06  <Monarch1st> it doesnt look like you can, at least its not obvious in the newgrf settings

09:38:08  <planetmaker> currently with a random_switch(... )
09:39:03  <planetmaker> we're somewhat discussing to replace that by a normal switch with variable 5F instead to keep things more in line
09:45:47  <planetmaker> hm... all those dependencies... conditional whether nml is there or gimp is there... hilarious for opengfx
09:46:08  <planetmaker> I should introduce a configure script possibly

11:07:56  <Korenn> hullo
11:08:22  <Korenn> any devs / contributors around who could help point me in the right direction?
11:08:36  <Eddi|zuHause> that way ->
11:08:38  <Korenn> I'm writing a patch that adds some town vars, and now I want it to gracefully load older save games
11:08:51  <Korenn> but I have no clue where in the code that stuff is
11:09:01  <Eddi|zuHause> in the saveload/ directory
11:09:23  <Korenn> I've got it saving / loading in the sl_town bit
11:09:23  <Eddi|zuHause> first step is to bump SAVEGAME_VERSION
11:09:26  <Korenn> but not reading old stuff
11:09:32  <Korenn> that's already done ;)
11:10:13  <Korenn> sorry, town_sl.cpp*
11:10:13  <Eddi|zuHause> in the sl_town bit you likely have min version and stuff
11:10:18  <frosch123> the SL_COND_xxx macros take a minimum and maximum savegame version which contain the data
11:10:32  <Korenn> frosch123: I have that for the patch setting itself
11:10:43  <Korenn> does that also work for variables in the Town struct?
11:10:50  <Eddi|zuHause> Korenn: no, that's independent
11:10:55  <Korenn> thought as much
11:10:56  <frosch123> if you need to initialise or convert stuff from old savegames, add that to AfterLoad()
11:11:01  <Alberth> src/saveload/afterload.cpp, function AfterLoadGame()   <-- here you adapt for the new savegame version
11:11:22  <Korenn> but how does it handle loading the old version before?
11:11:22  <frosch123> if you do nothing, everything is zero by default
11:11:39  <Korenn> the old version doesn't match the expected chunk setup
11:11:55  <Alberth> the version is in the file
11:12:00  <Korenn> yes, I got that ;)
11:12:12  <Alberth> so it loads the old file with SLD_COND macros that state what's in it
11:12:27  <Korenn> hmmm ok
11:12:29  <b_jonas> how do you figure out how much a factory or refinery really produces? their production is so variable and you only get to see one month's production in the window.
11:12:41  <b_jonas> do you just check it out in several months?
11:12:56  <Alberth> Korenn: then it calls AfterLoad() where you can change the data to the new version
11:13:20  <Korenn> right. and since zero is fine for my default, I wouldn't need any actual stuff there
11:13:25  <planetmaker> b_jonas: it really produced that in the last month what it tells you.
11:13:33  <frosch123> b_jonas: build some vehicles, then check the industry directory every few months
11:13:34  <Korenn> I'll go look at the SLD_COND stuff then :)
11:13:35  <Korenn> thanks
11:13:38  <frosch123> sort it by "percent transported"
11:13:40  <planetmaker> so no need to figure out anything...
11:14:25  <b_jonas> planetmaker: yep, but as I bring input to it from far, production varies a lot
11:14:27  <planetmaker> but yes, you can look each month
11:14:50  <Alberth> Korenn: it may be useful to look at a changeset where the savegame version got changed as an example
11:15:07  <Korenn> right, I'll go look at the svn logs :)
11:15:16  <Korenn> smart thinking, that
11:15:25  *** Beengalas [~Beengalas@nl105-254-205.student.uu.se] has joined #openttd
11:16:14  <Alberth> Korenn: saveload.cpp has a looooong list of revision numbers :p
11:16:29  <Korenn> yeah, I saw that.
11:17:07  <Korenn> hm, the last one is for the rivers, but that only bumps the savegame version without changing any other saveload stuff. that seems wrong :P
11:18:04  <b_jonas> Korenn: perhaps some new river tiles were added
11:18:58  <Alberth> Korenn: settings.ini was changed
11:19:09  <Korenn> oh right
11:19:15  <Korenn> and that generates a file
11:19:20  <Korenn> that takes some getting used to :)
11:20:53  <Alberth> you normally modify the .exe directly?
11:23:18  <Eddi|zuHause> why does that take getting used to? i do that all the time :p
11:24:13  <Korenn> Alberth: oh, haha :P
11:25:21  <Korenn> generating source files isn't exactly the most common of programming practices. So the .ini is not yet on my radar as 'code' :)

12:11:41  <andythenorth> probably just DorpsGek
12:11:59  <andythenorth> just that the destiny of all things that live is to die
12:12:07  <andythenorth> 'dying from the day they were born' etc
12:12:33  <andythenorth> every commit is one commit closer to the final commit

12:13:00  <planetmaker> and thus world ends. Amen.
12:14:11  <Alberth> what about pre-birth commits?
12:14:34  <SpComb> abortion
12:14:41  <andythenorth> so, is ottd suffering the same forums problem as mature newgrfs?
12:14:56  <andythenorth> i.e. it's pretty good, there's no big bugs, and no big new projects to discuss?
12:15:03  <andythenorth> so there's no discussion
12:15:16  <andythenorth> and most of the issues/ideas that come up can be filed under 'same old crap'

12:17:15  <valhallasw> and probably not really up to date, either
12:18:14  <Alberth> and contains a lot of stuff that is out of scope of the goal, or useless

12:20:22  <andythenorth> are there any goals big at the moment really?
12:20:32  <andythenorth> looks like some quiet work is being done on grf-topia
12:20:40  <andythenorth> YACD looks promising, but is quiet
12:20:47  <planetmaker> yeah :-(
12:20:55  <planetmaker> and killed cargodist
12:20:57  <andythenorth> there's no other big projects in play
12:21:03  <andythenorth> nml is a big project
12:21:17  <Alberth> grf airports is also quiet
12:21:20  <planetmaker> there's scenario re-write, there's more heightlevels
12:21:34  <planetmaker> airports
12:21:46  <planetmaker> indeed
12:22:01  <Ammler> hehe, maybe you can convince fonso to maintain yacd :-)
12:22:12  <andythenorth> airports is stuck entirely isn't it?
12:22:16  <planetmaker> Alberth: I hoped for your patch with airports ;-)
12:22:20  <andythenorth> airports / newstations
12:22:28  <andythenorth> RoadTypes is not happening
12:22:32  <andythenorth> rv-wagons same
12:22:39  <planetmaker> there are the ideas of roadtypes, bridgeheads, tunnel heads
12:22:45  <planetmaker> town control
12:22:52  <andythenorth> it's why I mentioned auto-updater yesterday
12:22:54  <Ammler> region based newgrf
12:23:10  <andythenorth> bananas isn't broken enough for anyone to bother fixing it
12:23:13  <Alberth> planetmaker: I had no big plans, mostly just small steps in the right direction
12:23:17  <planetmaker> all-climate. "new maptype"
12:23:33  <planetmaker> goal scripts
12:23:40  <Alberth> planetmaker: such as removal of the wait loop
12:23:45  <planetmaker> zoom-levels
12:24:05  <Ammler> andythenorth: did you really try to work on the current bananas or did tb speak you away from that?
12:24:07  <planetmaker> I see :-) - but what would an airport do w/o holding pattern?
12:24:13  <planetmaker> would planes stop and queue?
12:24:28  <Alberth> planetmaker: it has one, but not in the aitrport state machine
12:24:38  <Ammler> because bananas from scratch seems not happen, but it really needs improvments
12:24:45  <Terkhen> bbl
12:24:54  <Alberth> so you can have aircrafts holding while you change the airport
12:25:21  <planetmaker> ah. That'd be useful
12:25:56  <planetmaker> yeah... bananas is another site which could need work
12:26:06  <planetmaker> many things to take care of :-)
12:26:22  <Alberth> translations for all newgrfs
12:26:36  <planetmaker> yes, also a nice project
12:26:44  <planetmaker> readme from ingame :-)
12:26:54  <Alberth> we should make #openttd-suggestions :p
12:27:18  <planetmaker> well. But maybe we should make a "wanted features" list
12:27:29  <Alberth> did you try the readme patch? I find the text-layout very bad
12:27:39  <planetmaker> Thus if someone feels like "dunno what I shall do" s/he could dive into it
12:27:40  <Alberth> no idea how to fix it
12:27:43  <peter1138> planetmaker, we used to have one of those
12:27:53  <peter1138> planetmaker, it was called the "roadmap" that people used to randomly update
12:27:56  <planetmaker> peter1138: yes... but seems abandoned. where?
12:29:29  <peter1138> dunno, i was being silly. it being a roadmap with unplanned features on it...
12:30:19  <LordAro> [13:27:29] <@Alberth> did you try the readme patch? I find the text-layout very bad <-- i think its just a case of "you write your readme to support ottd" not the other way round
12:30:26  <LordAro> hi, btw :)
12:31:30  <Alberth> sure, but how do you make a list of features then?
12:31:30  <Alberth> - foo
12:31:30  <Alberth>   blah die blah
12:31:30  <Alberth> is already broken
12:32:21  <planetmaker> it probably shouldn't use a proportional font in that case.
12:32:26  <planetmaker> Which is a big problem :-)
12:34:49  <Alberth> yeah, either a mono-spaced font, or some tabbing-like indenting to text-columns. Neither is exactly simple
12:38:03  *** glx [glx@2a01:e35:2f59:c7c0:c75:f72b:61bb:525] has joined #openttd
12:38:06  *** mode/#openttd [+v glx] by ChanServ
12:38:34  <Alberth> the latter would mean you store the starting offset + column-number of each word. At the next line, check whether it starts with spaces, such that its first non-space is also the start of a word at the line above. Then use that starting offset
12:38:38  <Alberth> hi glx
12:39:16  <planetmaker> hi glx
12:39:30  <planetmaker> Alberth: yes, neither is really simple :-(
12:40:39  * Alberth ponders doing some detection beforehand to simplify it
12:46:42  <b_jonas> or just have the GRF authors link to other files from the Readme, say html files people will view with a browser.
12:46:43  <Eddi|zuHause> use SET_X for alignment! :p
12:50:13  <Eddi|zuHause> question: shall i attempt cargo-specific graphics and cargo-specific recolouring now, or shall i attempt slicing long vehicle sprites into shorter sections (to avoid glitches)?
12:50:32  <planetmaker> b_jonas: and you give us the code to reliably call the user's preferred browser on all supported OS?
12:51:01  <Eddi|zuHause> problem is we have no cargo specific graphics to play with yet
12:51:12  <planetmaker> the first thing is relatively simple, the 2nd probably more effort
12:53:00  <Eddi|zuHause> syntax might be something like: "cargo:(COAL:recolour(bulk,black),SAND|GRAIN:recolour(bulk,yellow))"
12:57:42  <planetmaker> what's the "bulk" in that list?
12:57:46  <planetmaker> it seems not needed
12:57:49  <LordAro> Alberth/planetmaker: i haven't noticed too much of an issue when testing myself
12:58:04  <TWerkhoven> bulk cargo?
12:59:53  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: "bulk" is a graphics file name, like "A_O_5_bulk.png"
13:00:06  <planetmaker> ah, ok
13:05:14  <andythenorth> Ammler: I started thinking about bananas, but without a collaborator who is good at web backends...I'd be out of my depth
13:06:39  <andythenorth> Alberth: here's how I made a feature list :D
13:06:41  <andythenorth> http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=46689&hilit=ponies
13:07:06  <andythenorth> I should update that
13:07:09  <andythenorth> some of it is done
13:08:08  <V453000> is there anything special in how is the total train weight counted? When I read what the depot information on wagons/engines says, and count it, it ends up being totally different from the "real" weight when I actually build the train and see the info of the train on total weight
13:09:00  <Eddi|zuHause> V453000: articulated parts?
13:09:08  <V453000> no, normal wagons
13:09:17  <planetmaker> loaded?
13:09:29  <V453000> both unloaded and loaded, the counted values dont match
13:09:31  <planetmaker> callback for different weight with different cargo?
13:09:58  <planetmaker> or different weight when it's Friday 13 and the engine coloured red?
13:10:19  <planetmaker> except when it's a leap year, of course ;-)
13:10:21  <andythenorth> weight multiplier?
13:10:44  <andythenorth> who actually did advanced action 2 tile layouts?
13:11:32  <Eddi|zuHause> or when Halloween and Friday, 13th fall on the same day. In April.
13:11:47  <V453000> for example, I have a gondola which says it is empty (22t) and a centerbeam wagon which also says 22t. When I made a train consisting of two BR182s from DB set and added 8 wagons to each, the gondola one has 368t in total, the centerbeam has 346 in total

13:43:49  <Elukka> go finish firs, all of it, so i can make that scenario i dream of making with it :p
13:44:12  <andythenorth> my motivation to work on it is currently low
13:44:21  <andythenorth> I'm not demoralised, just not inspired
13:44:23  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: now's the right time to work on economies
13:44:39  <andythenorth> could be
13:45:00  <andythenorth> because it's now in nml, I'm much less inclined to work on the code
13:45:07  <V453000> hm this is sad :( the vehicle purchase infos tend to be so wrong in so many cases
13:45:09  <andythenorth> I'm kind of limited to drawing these days
13:45:37  <supermop> dont like nml?
13:45:46  <andythenorth> nml is great
13:46:05  <andythenorth> but I don't know nml, and I no longer know the FIRS codebase either
13:46:24  <andythenorth> so I'm trying to work on a massive codebase, that doesn't work like it did for the last 2 years, in a language I don't know
13:46:46  <LordAro> why did you convert it then?
13:47:13  <andythenorth> because grfcodec doesn't support advanced tile layouts
13:47:29  <andythenorth> and to gain maintainability
13:48:02  <andythenorth> it was the correct thing to do, but has the side effect that I no longer develop code for FIRS
13:48:22  <andythenorth> so FIRS development depends on the goodwill of other people
13:48:36  <Korenn> andythenorth: but NML is so much easier than NFO ;)
13:48:41  <andythenorth> not really
13:48:54  <andythenorth> it's considerably more complex in my opinion
13:49:11  <Korenn> O.o

13:49:17  *** HerzogDeXtEr [~Flex@88.130.181.185] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
13:49:23  <andythenorth> it's a more familiar syntax compared to other high level languages, but it's a lot less explicit
13:49:32  <planetmaker> andythenorth: your problem is you jump from highly-templated nfo to even more-highly templated NML
13:49:34  <planetmaker> and compare that
13:50:04  <andythenorth> +1
13:50:13  <planetmaker> half of firs was and is meta-programmed
13:50:43  <planetmaker> and the complexity of the templates firs uses now is considerably higher than before
13:50:53  <andythenorth> it wasn't in a good state before nml either.  It's just that the meta-programming was mostly mine
13:51:01  <planetmaker> yes
13:51:03  <supermop> a 'yard' rail type would be neat
13:51:05  <andythenorth> or it was explained to me by those who did it
13:51:35  <andythenorth> but still I find nml magical
13:51:41  <supermop> maybe ill work on that
13:51:59  <andythenorth> too many years of nfo

13:52:37  <andythenorth> +1 to that as well
13:52:45  <Elukka> firs is the best damn thing to happen to ottd for a good while to me
13:53:30  <planetmaker> programming it can eat loads of time, too ;-)
13:53:40  <planetmaker> I guess I spent a few weeks on the conversion
13:53:51  <planetmaker> and re-templating
13:54:05  <planetmaker> so far
13:56:07  <andythenorth> maybe FIRS is just too big
13:56:15  <planetmaker> I don't think so
13:56:21  <V453000> VECTORS! :D
13:56:30  <planetmaker> it's just not a project to be done in a month or a few months
13:56:55  <andythenorth> the amount of work remaining is overwhelming, and I'd like to get some of it gone
13:57:19  <planetmaker> then stop to care about stable openttd
13:57:31  <andythenorth> oh, wrt release you mean?
13:57:35  <andythenorth> I'm not bothered about that
13:57:41  <andythenorth> we don't need to release currently
13:58:01  <planetmaker> it's not about 'need' or 'should'. It's about the psychological impatch. On you ;-)
13:58:01  <andythenorth> we can release 0.8.0 or such to bananas when stable has caught up
13:58:16  <planetmaker> *impact
13:58:23  <andythenorth> or we can implement what you said in your recent ticket
13:58:47  <V453000> is it compatible with trunk?
13:58:51  <andythenorth> yes
13:58:55  <V453000> why wait then :(
13:59:07  <andythenorth> because then stable users won't be able to download FIRS
13:59:08  <planetmaker> V453000: you can download always the nightly
13:59:19  <planetmaker> that's how much was done
13:59:21  <andythenorth> there is a FIRS release, it's just bundle server only
13:59:25  <andythenorth> for 0.7.0
13:59:26  <V453000> I know
13:59:48  <andythenorth> changing the grfID is usually Just A Bad Idea
13:59:56  <V453000> but we could for example use it on public server without making mess with adding extra newgrfs etc
13:59:59  <planetmaker> V453000: it's a bananas restriction: only one version is active concurrently
14:00:00  <V453000> ah I see
14:00:07  <V453000> well that sucks :(
14:00:10  <planetmaker> thus if put on bananas stable users have no firs anymore at all
14:00:13  <V453000> yeah
14:00:16  <V453000> :(
14:00:28  <andythenorth> then we lose FIRS users, or they think it has died
14:00:54  <V453000> or they download newer openttd :P
14:01:04  <andythenorth> so options include: don't worry about it for now; fix bananas; push for new stable ottd release; split versions + offer both on bananas
14:01:08  <V453000> and well ... how soon is a new stable arriving? :)
14:01:26  <V453000> yes :)
14:01:39  <planetmaker> after all a pikka-release cycle is not the worst either
14:01:40  <planetmaker> there's no-one who released more frequently new newgrf versions than you, andythenorth
14:02:07  <V453000> hehe
14:02:14  <planetmaker> currently I'm personally fine with "wait for stable ottd"
14:02:24  <V453000> I guess :)
14:02:27  <planetmaker> I need to gather some new drive to address some firs issues, too ;-)
14:02:39  <andythenorth> or we could do something else entirely for a bit
14:02:51  <andythenorth> I could add new steam trams to HEQS for example
14:02:54  <andythenorth> or start a truck set
14:02:58  <supermop> bush field new airports for supplies?
14:03:09  <andythenorth> truck set has valid side issues for ottd trunk
14:03:11  <frosch123> he, "wait for stable version" of the software is imo one of the reasons ttdp died :p

14:05:21  <andythenorth> or I could just work on CHIPS, which is fun, I can mostly do on mine own, and has zero blockers :P
14:05:37  <planetmaker> andythenorth: you increasingly have "issues" like "I'd do, if..."
14:05:43  <andythenorth> he
14:05:47  <andythenorth> I used to just 'do'
14:05:49  <andythenorth> :)
14:05:52  <planetmaker> :-)
14:05:58  <andythenorth> I've 'done'
14:06:01  <andythenorth> quite a bit
14:06:49  <planetmaker> yeah. You explored thoroughly the boundaries of current newgrf capabilities in several areas
14:07:08  <planetmaker> the problem are now: the boundaries don't move that fast anymore as you can explore ;-)
14:07:14  <andythenorth> the truck set bothers me :P
14:07:18  <andythenorth> I want nice trucks
14:07:25  <andythenorth> but the current RV situation is poor
14:07:32  <andythenorth> at least for articulated vehicles
14:07:43  <andythenorth> and I think it's maybe resolvable
14:07:50  <planetmaker> "articulated" is something which could generally be generalized ;-)
14:08:00  <planetmaker> many issues are resolvable...
14:08:06  <andythenorth> possibly it's even fine with just a few small tweaks and some decisions to not care about others
14:08:47  <andythenorth> maybe I should write some spec for a set, with options :)
14:09:05  <planetmaker> meta-programme it like cets
14:09:06  <planetmaker> :-P
14:09:16  <planetmaker> one can hardly meta-programme more that that ;-)
14:09:40  <planetmaker> input: spreadsheet + a few python scripts. Output: grf
14:10:07  <andythenorth> hmm

14:17:35  <planetmaker> ok, will do. Remind me again, if I haven't done so within "proper" time

14:34:17  <Korenn> andythenorth: does FISH have introduction dates set yet?
14:34:47  <Pinkbeast> Last I looked it did, but still often absurd ones.
14:35:09  <andythenorth> Korenn: mostly not
14:35:22  <andythenorth> well more accurately - mostly absurd ones
14:35:50  <Korenn> I'm currently using a somewhat older version, and the fact that most ships are available from 1870 or earlier is a bit of a shame
14:35:54  <Korenn> no tech progression
14:35:58  <Pinkbeast> It struck me when a bunch of diesel ships appeared in 18something and I thought to myself "huh, when was the diesel engine invented?" :-)
14:36:50  <andythenorth> yeah
14:36:59  <andythenorth> why are there no steam ships? :P
14:37:10  <supermop> smoke?
14:37:15  <Pinkbeast> Sailing Ships has one or two in, does it not?
14:37:41  <andythenorth> FISH has one steam ship

14:40:30  <Pinkbeast> I know this is different to eGRVTS but it's still kind of the same.
14:40:54  <Pinkbeast> start rv-wagons - yes please, although I ain't proposing to do the work so what do I get to say?
14:41:09  <Pinkbeast> I cannot remember the last time I placed a drive-into road stop
14:41:28  <supermop> i llike the idea of a couple fake brads
14:41:32  <supermop> brands
14:41:49  <supermop> two us brands, two EU brands?

14:42:38  <supermop> really big russian trucks based on icbm TELs should be in heqs anyway
14:43:08  <supermop> japanese trucks count as the same as eu for this set?
14:43:26  <andythenorth> not sure
14:43:31  <andythenorth> maybe
14:43:44  <andythenorth> japanese trucks made minimal impact in us + eu
14:43:59  <andythenorth> so my knowledge is limited
14:44:08  <supermop> we get a lot of rigid body hino and mitsubishi here
14:45:05  <supermop> id say minimal impact in us trailers but market dominance for rigid trucks in urban and industrial areas
14:45:27  <supermop> maybe that means they dont belong in what sounds like an over the road set

14:47:37  <supermop> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaggio_Ape
14:48:28  <Elukka> andythenorth: i'd have some stat difference between the two brands that isn't negated by playing with breakdowns off
14:49:01  <Pinkbeast> Elukka> I think that is suggested - after all one has maximum speed, power, capacity, running cost, purchase cost to play with.
14:49:54  <andythenorth> supermop: I have one of those - near enough
14:50:15  <andythenorth> irl
14:50:22  <supermop> piaggio ape +rv wagons
14:50:27  <supermop> ape train
14:53:00  <andythenorth> supermop: in India you get piaggio and bajaj with fifth-wheel trailers
14:53:46  <supermop> a great case for rv wagons right there
14:54:42  <supermop> also, horse would make more sense if you just multihead a few Clydesdales then put whatever you want behind
14:55:03  <supermop> ctrl click to have the horse walk backwards
14:55:47  <andythenorth> supermop: it makes more sense yes
14:55:55  <andythenorth> but waiting for perfection makes no sense :)
14:56:00  <supermop> indeed
14:56:09  <b_jonas> horse-drawn trains are tricky because you want depot visits that replace the horse without the whole train entering
14:56:13  <andythenorth> I think this is me jumping off and saying "rv-wagons isn't going to happen forseeably"
14:56:20  <andythenorth> so I need to design a set around limitations
14:56:26  <andythenorth> which is a fun thing to do in some ways
14:56:34  <Pinkbeast> Simutrans has horse and cart as separate units, doesn't it?
14:56:48  <supermop> bandit should still be viable without wagons
14:57:14  <b_jonas> what happens if the UFO abducts the horse?
14:58:00  <supermop> rigid truck, trailer truck, and two-trailer truck, all refittable to anything
14:58:32  <andythenorth> and no rigids with pup?
14:58:37  <supermop> 5 trailer road trains might not make sense in tt
14:58:43  <Pinkbeast> Urrr. At least liquid tankers and refrigerated lorries are surely separate things not refittable to each other
14:58:54  <andythenorth> its only a body swap
14:59:00  <andythenorth> it's / its /s
14:59:05  <supermop> in this case refit reads as swap the trailer
14:59:22  <Pinkbeast> Even for rigid bodies?
14:59:24  <andythenorth> yup
14:59:45  <supermop> rigid truck chassis are pretty easy to mount anything to
14:59:52  <Pinkbeast> I guess absent rv-wagons it's best to turn a blind eye to any gripes with that. :-)
15:00:02  <andythenorth> I think so
15:00:20  <supermop> id second andy's suggestion of free refits of trailers, small token cost to refit a body
15:00:41  <Eddi|zuHause> google docs is obviously no perfect piece of software either...
15:00:56  <Eddi|zuHause> as in: i can't access it right now...
15:00:59  <supermop> perfect is the enemy of the good
15:01:16  <andythenorth> if I ditch rigid + trailer, then it's only two 'types'
15:01:30  <andythenorth> as an articulated truck with one trailer could also be a b-train, a triple etc
15:01:34  <andythenorth> on refit
15:01:43  <andythenorth> would need a better subtypes gui though
15:01:51  <supermop> id keep it simple for now
15:03:35  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: assume split refit gui comes sooner or later
15:04:38  <supermop> yeah get a simple grf out now as something fun to do
15:05:25  <andythenorth> nml or nfo?
15:05:41  <supermop> nml - good practice?
15:05:46  <andythenorth> perhaps yes
15:06:04  <supermop> unaware of rv stuff in nfo not implemented in nml
15:06:26  <supermop> as to drive through stops
15:06:48  <supermop> i'd handle it as with egrvts but with a disclaimer
15:07:09  <andythenorth> I could just prevent all bandit vehicles using drive-into stops
15:07:12  <andythenorth> same for HEQS
15:07:16  <Pinkbeast> Who _does_ use drive-into stops anyway?
15:07:19  <andythenorth> me
15:07:21  <andythenorth> a lot
15:07:22  <supermop> drive intos are still useful for a station that has 1-3 trucks visiting
15:07:24  <supermop> i do
15:07:31  <Eddi|zuHause> Pinkbeast: they're better when you do "full load"

15:07:40  *** DayDreamer [~DayDreame@94.142.234.1] has quit []
15:07:51  <supermop> as then it takes up less room and doesnt block the street
15:08:05  <andythenorth> if I ban drive-into use, then the confusion is reduced
15:08:07  <Pinkbeast> I always do do "full load" for non-pax/mail cargoes except maybe FIRS supplies
15:08:47  <andythenorth> if I upgrade HEQS now to ban drive-into, people will get used to it
15:08:48  <Pinkbeast> I guess it's because I use trams where possible so don't really even consider drive-into designs with other RVs
15:09:03  <andythenorth> could we remove drive-into?
15:09:04  <supermop> i don't know if their are many people unaware/upset that articulated vehicles cant use drive into
15:09:09  <supermop> no
15:09:23  <Eddi|zuHause> Elukka: 3-axle coaches now in
15:09:58  <Elukka> :D
15:10:07  <supermop> just have them only accessible to rigid trucks
15:10:11  <Elukka> i just noticed i did a tiny mistake with the sprite, and the 2nd class version's going to be up very soon since i noticed there's no significant difference (besides color, that is)
15:10:18  <andythenorth> supermop: well they are already
15:10:27  <andythenorth> but I could give every rigid truck a trailer
15:10:34  <andythenorth> thereby preventing them using drive-into
15:10:40  <supermop> i would miss that functionality
15:11:00  <Elukka> i swear no matter how many times i look a sprite over after i finish it, some mistake will slip in
15:11:11  <supermop> what would be the case for doing that over using a tractor with two trailers?
15:11:19  <supermop> gameplaywise
15:11:30  <Elukka> the 4th class one i'm gonna do some reworking on
15:11:43  <andythenorth> supermop: not much case
15:11:52  <supermop> i'm not sure it would be worth losing the drive into bays
15:11:59  <andythenorth> it would be more interesting if partial refit was possible
15:12:02  <andythenorth> but it isn't
15:12:18  <supermop> as eddi said, assume it will come eventually
15:12:42  <andythenorth> partial refit might not
15:12:55  <andythenorth> but if it does, it doesn't change the newgrf
15:12:59  <Eddi|zuHause> split != partial
15:13:30  <andythenorth> exactamly
15:13:53  <andythenorth> partial refit of articulated appears quite blocked
15:14:35  <Eddi|zuHause> could introduce some special flag to the articulated callback, like "here be new wagon". then you'd have like a 2-layer articulation, and can handle that second layer like individual wagons in the gui
15:15:03  <supermop> i think you have enough in your spec for a good start
15:15:31  <supermop> its too early to be harping over these specific case hurdles
15:17:15  <Eddi|zuHause> take the Henschel-Wegmann-Zug of CETS, it currently has an articulation like: [Engine, dummy, Mail wagon, dummy, dummy, (Middle wagon, dummy, dummy)x3, End wagon, dummy, dummy]
15:17:41  <Eddi|zuHause> that causes it to be shown as one big unit in the train gui, instead of the usual individual wagons
15:18:33  <Eddi|zuHause> if i could layer the articulation, i could do it like: [[Engine, dummy],[Mail wagon, dummy dummy],[Middle wagon, dummy, dummy]x3,[End wagon, dummy, dummy]]
15:18:48  <Eddi|zuHause> and the gui would know when to start a new line
15:18:52  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: this sounds plausible ish
15:19:04  <Eddi|zuHause> and the refit gui could allow selecting these individual parts
15:19:19  <Eddi|zuHause> we need a new articulation anyway, for IDs > 128

15:20:13  <andythenorth> ?
15:20:48  <Eddi|zuHause> open question: how to "hide" a sub-chain when refitting to fewer wagons?
15:20:59  <andythenorth> no idea :(
15:21:26  <andythenorth> the problem with clever hacks is....
15:22:59  <andythenorth> ....they stack up complexity :)
15:23:07  <Elukka> hm. might be an idea to have both brown and grey roofed variant of the three axle coaches
15:23:09  <Elukka> easy enough to do
15:24:15  <Elukka> good god my early attempts are atrocious
15:24:28  <Elukka> at least i've gotten somewhere these past few weeks...
15:25:26  <supermop> heqs trucks were named after mountains?
15:30:50  <andythenorth> mostly
15:31:27  <supermop> would you rather name the brrands or the models in bandit?
15:31:29  <Eddi|zuHause> Elukka: so, could you post your updates _before_ i hit commit? :)
15:31:54  <Elukka> i try!
15:32:01  <Elukka> you should probably just let me fumble for a few minutes when i upload something :P
15:32:16  <andythenorth> supermop: both
15:32:25  <supermop> brands could be named after NA or european regions/locations
15:32:34  <supermop> regions are bigger than mountains
15:33:29  <andythenorth> true
15:33:52  <supermop> cahokia would bbe a good us brand name
15:34:45  <andythenorth> watersheds, mountain ranges, indian ranges etc would be good names
15:35:04  <supermop> was a centrally located civilization, that engaged in serious trading with other groups as far away as both costs
15:35:19  <supermop> fits the essence of over road trucking
15:35:45  <supermop> not sure if Cahokia or Cahokian is better
15:36:03  <andythenorth> where was it located?
15:36:12  <andythenorth> it's not the easiest name to read :)
15:36:21  <andythenorth> quite often I name things that are one-step removed
15:36:43  <andythenorth> like hydrofoil, built in a certain city, named after the tributary of the major river
15:36:45  <supermop> american bottom region - confluence of Missouri and Mississippi
15:37:00  <andythenorth> Missouri is not bad for a truck mfr
15:37:02  <andythenorth> nor is Confluence
15:37:05  <andythenorth> hmm
15:37:09  <andythenorth> maybe Confluence sucks
15:37:32  <Eddi|zuHause> Confluence = Koblenz
15:37:50  <supermop> it was on the opposite bank from modern st louis - which became an important city for european overland transport in the 19th century
15:38:03  <Eddi|zuHause> (german city, located at the confluence of Mosel and Rhein)
15:38:09  <andythenorth> hmm
15:38:17  <andythenorth> maybe name all the mfrs after confluence points
15:38:20  <supermop> that is white people traveling the major trails in wagons
15:38:59  <Eddi|zuHause> so... someone wanted to teach me about recolouring
15:39:02  <supermop> so its a location that has been important for transport for thousands of years
15:39:33  <supermop> and its a native name so its clearly distinguishable from a european brand
15:40:25  <supermop> confluence might sound too much like a boat company

15:40:39  <andythenorth> :P

16:09:25  <Eddi|zuHause> so really, who DOES know how recolouring is done?
16:22:39  <Elukka> did the door open sprite for the closed goods car

16:29:16  <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: what's the problem? it's just a mapping from {0..255} to {0..255}
16:29:44  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: i'm asking how to apply it
16:29:58  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: how do i say "remap this sprite with this map"
16:30:18  <frosch123> there is some stupid callback
16:30:25  <frosch123> with weird return values

16:31:13  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that's what i suspected, but i can't find it
16:31:32  <Elukka> hm, cattle car's another easy sprite
16:31:39  <Elukka> just a modification of the existing one

16:35:03  <Eddi|zuHause> Elukka: the car i noted in the tracking table isn't really for cattle, more for smaller animals like pigs, sheep, geese
16:35:42  <Elukka> hmm yeah that's what i meant
16:35:47  <Elukka> cattle isn't the word i wanted :P
16:35:53  <Elukka> http://www.osterthun.com/0Laenderbahnen/Gueterwagen/F5830-RA.htm
16:36:30  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah something like that
16:37:17  <Elukka> hmm wonder what the ends look like
16:37:32  <Elukka> same as the sides i guess
16:38:10  <Eddi|zuHause> i'd say same as the normal closed wagon
16:39:23  <Elukka> i have a model, not of the same car but the construction of the body is practically identical, and the ends have the openings too

18:30:37  <Eddi|zuHause> conspiracy theory of the day: "the 'federal trojan' incident caused minister of interior Friedrichs to flee to Kabul"
18:32:35  <Rubidium> looks like the prototypical "I changed the NewGRF(s)" effect, and as such it's not a bug

20:06:13  <appe> guys, i have been working with mailroom and printing before, and ill say; the ECS industry printing works does not look like printing works usually do.
20:06:16  <appe> :)
20:06:53  <George> appe: Would you draw a better one?
20:08:47  <appe> no, and its not the quality of the structure that's the problem. it just doesnt look like printing works do.
20:09:06  <appe> ill be happy to contribute with a more acurate picture.
20:09:14  <andythenorth> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Selwood_Printing_Works_Frome.jpg
20:09:32  <andythenorth> google images thinks printing works look like this: http://wiki.openttd.org/images/2/20/Printing_works_ecs_32.jpg
20:09:45  <andythenorth> so I'd say George is 100% accurate :)
20:12:37  <planetmaker> lol :-)
20:16:20  <George> appe> ill be happy to contribute with a more acurate picture. <- well, in that case a task to draw a better graphics would have low priority in case good photos are provided.
