00:32:27  * Zuu thinks OpenTTD got zombie messages.
00:32:54  <Zuu> At least I got a GSGoal.Question window showing up in chapter 1.2 that should only show in chapter 1.1 :-)
00:33:18  <Zuu> In 1.1 it is closed by GSWindow.Close(...)

00:36:58  <Zuu> Apparently, I have used the wrong window_number to close it in chapter 1.1, but that shouldn't make it close as a zomibe that wakes up in 1.2 :-)
00:38:42  <Zuu> by using the correct window_number it now don't show up again :-)

01:10:27  * Rhamphoryncus activates lurk mode
01:12:37  <Eddi|zuHause> i guess that failed, then.
01:14:35  <Rhamphoryncus> Well now, obviously :P
01:15:22  <planetmaker> and again :-P :-)
01:15:52  <Rhamphoryncus> Yup.  Seems useless to even try now.  Might as well give up and talk
01:16:22  <Rhamphoryncus> So.. haven't been  here since early 2010.  Something made me want to play again >.>
01:16:42  <planetmaker> best time to talk is EU evening. Usually ;-) And some addiction just stick
01:17:44  <Rhamphoryncus> I soon rediscovered how frustrating timetabling is.  So I'm trying to fix it.  Again.  Like the last time I played.
01:18:16  <Eddi|zuHause> tried the 24h clock mod?
01:18:56  <Rhamphoryncus> nope.  I did read up on one but it didn't seem like what I was looking for.  It looked like more of an interface tweak than a fundamental fix
01:19:24  <Eddi|zuHause> what kind of fundamental change are you looking for?
01:19:56  <Rhamphoryncus> Make train, set route, clone 30 more trains, hit button to turn on, walk away.
01:20:16  <Eddi|zuHause> ah, you'll be searching for autoseparation then
01:21:14  <Rhamphoryncus> I'm not opposed to an interface that gives you manual control of the intervals.  It just needs to be a sane interface on the route, not individual trains
01:21:50  <Zuu> Do you use shared orders?
01:22:10  <Rhamphoryncus> Once I tripped across them on the wiki, yes
01:25:20  <Rhamphoryncus> Last time I made a patch that mostly worked, but it was a giant bodge.  This time I'm trying to make a good patch

01:36:08  <Rhamphoryncus> yeah
01:37:17  <Eddi|zuHause> and try out this patch: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=54332
01:37:18  <Rhamphoryncus> That all goes in to setting the schedule.  Once it's figured out is the hard part: gracefully compensating when your vehicles don't stick to it.
01:38:29  <Eddi|zuHause> one thing i had trouble with all previous timetabling patches: if roadvehicle A is stuck behind roadvehicle B of the same route and can't overtake, then it should switch out the timetabling between the two
01:39:53  <Rhamphoryncus> Huh, that one looks decent
01:40:06  <Rhamphoryncus> Yeah, that's key in my mind

01:55:48  <Elukka> i bet some significant percentage of those people would still deny we had anything to do with it

13:03:29  <andythenorth> but also I sat watching horses go slowly, and decided to fix it :P

13:24:53  <xiong> Okay, now cargodist is coming clear. The critical points are related to the structure of the network, not to vehicles per se.
13:25:37  <xiong> At least with pax, which is all I've tried; perhaps mail as well since that's symmetric traffic, too:
13:27:38  *** FLHerne [~francis_h@dsl-217-155-24-22.zen.co.uk] has joined #openttd
13:28:10  <xiong> A) Do not run "circulators". In vanilla I was in the habit of establishing 4 bus stops equally spaced about a town center and running a local circulating service. This might seem to work well with cargodist as a feeder service but pax end up making time-consuming stops where they don't want to go.
13:28:37  *** FLHerne [~francis_h@dsl-217-155-24-22.zen.co.uk] has left #openttd []
13:28:40  *** FLHerne [~francis_h@dsl-217-155-24-22.zen.co.uk] has joined #openttd
13:31:18  <xiong> B) Initially weight capacity toward the "middle" of the graph, which should now resemble a tree. I made the mistake of running good service between two towns, then between two others; finally connecting -- weakly -- one from each pair. It's no surprise that a great deal of pax wanted to travel over the weak link.
13:31:31  <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: How do you mean?  People get off and on again at every stop?
13:32:46  <xiong> Rhamphoryncus, are you asking in reference to A or B?
13:32:55  <Rhamphoryncus> A
13:33:38  <xiong> Yes, I thought so but wasn't sure. No, the problem is exactly that pax do *not* load/unload at each circulator stop, as they do in vanilla.
13:34:17  <xiong> Rather, they wait patiently until the bus moves on to their desired stop. The stop time is wasted, the pax are that much later getting where they're going.
13:34:36  <planetmaker> Rhamphoryncus, mind, if you don't play patched OpenTTD, with cargodist, it's irrelevant ;-)
13:35:05  <Rhamphoryncus> Ahh, so even if nobody is embarking/disembarking it still does a full stop?
13:35:16  <Rhamphoryncus> planetmaker: I *am* playing with cargodist :)
13:35:17  <xiong> In the case of a route that goes clockwise around town center 1-2-3-4, worst case has pax boarding at 1 who want to go to 4; the travel is 3 times the distance paid.
13:35:47  <michi_cc> xiong: You know, that is the whole point of all cargod?st implementation.
13:35:54  <xiong> Rhamphoryncus, that seems to be my experience. Same for you?
13:36:10  <xiong> michi_cc, Yes, it's obvious, now.
13:36:24  <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: ahh, yeah.  That encourages you to have better routes :)
13:37:04  <xiong> I'm playing with chillpack and I'm also using automated timetabling; so vehicles like to waste a day or two at a stop in any case.
13:37:21  <Rhamphoryncus> I might do a 3-point triangle, but any more I'd rather have bidirectional lines that cross at a common hub
13:37:59  <planetmaker> Try cargodist with one (or a few) major hubs. And regional networks attached there
13:38:05  <planetmaker> Makes for interesting building
13:38:07  <xiong> Thank you, Rhamphoryncus; that's my thinking. I'm not even too sure about triangle routes; if the triangle is equilateral, worst-case travel distance is twice what you get paid for.
13:38:25  <planetmaker> While keeping it managable at the same time
13:38:54  <Rhamphoryncus> I'd consider having two routes going at opposite directions
13:38:55  <xiong> Yes, planetmaker: hub and spoke, smaller hubs and spokes. No circulators.
13:39:13  <planetmaker> well. Depends ;-)
13:39:35  <planetmaker> An olympic ring network certainly would work :-)
13:39:38  <Rhamphoryncus> I'm not sure how well it balances between directions when your circulator has both clockwise and counterclockwise
13:39:41  <planetmaker> with hubs where they cross
13:40:01  <xiong> Rhamphoryncus, Tried that. Ran local service with two sets of vehicles, one clockwise, one counter-clockwise. Fail. Pax still board the next vehicle that seems to have a decent shot of taking them to their dest.
13:40:48  <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: ergh.  It may only weight for saturation, not efficiency x_x
13:40:51  <xiong> I'm going to shut this game down now since I've learned important lessons and try strictly out-and-back service next time.
13:41:32  <xiong> I'll give ships another go. I'm not yet convinced they're broken in cargodist, not yet; although the plausible explanation was offered.
13:41:49  * Rhamphoryncus likes truck loading bays so much he puts a truck loading bay in his truck loading bay.  Then clicks again, paying a *third* time.
13:41:51  <xiong> I think you're exactly correct, Rhamphoryncus.

13:58:32  <Rhamphoryncus> Got a coal line that's about 15 long.. got 30 carriages on it, trying to keep up
14:00:23  <planetmaker> 15 tiles? That's short
14:00:35  <planetmaker> Sounds like work for RV typically
14:00:36  <xiong> Oh yeah, forgot: I also notice that the link graph calculates the location of a disjoint station at what appears to be the barycenter, not the first "sign" tile. I suspect the payout is so calculated, too.
14:00:41  <planetmaker> or for HEQS trams rather
14:01:09  <xiong> Rhamphoryncus, yah, your omission of units makes that statement look weird.
14:01:32  <Rhamphoryncus> 15 tiles, 30 horse-draw carriages
14:01:40  <xiong> Ah.
14:02:14  <xiong> I too am a horse man. I start in 1850. What kind of world has no transportation at all in 1950??
14:02:22  <Rhamphoryncus> heh
14:03:47  <Elukka> what kind of world has no public roads between cities?
14:04:05  <Rhamphoryncus> what kind of world only has one type of road?
14:04:31  <Elukka> would it be possible to make an AI that had a practically infinite amount of money, built a road network and then more or less shut down?
14:06:14  <Rhamphoryncus> Pity one-way roads just make it into a single-lane one-way
14:07:50  <Rhamphoryncus> aaaand I have a backlog a little over halfway around this route
14:10:50  <planetmaker> Elukka, that's called game script
14:10:54  <planetmaker> answer is thus: yes
14:11:15  <Elukka> hm. that'd be a cool thing
14:11:21  <planetmaker> practically that exists as real AI already, though. It will just bancrupt, but roads will remain
14:11:32  <planetmaker> and a new such AI will emerge. Works also

14:28:33  <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: hrm, cargodist is *supposed* to handle cycles.  I don't suppose you were using a single route to go all the way around, rather than a series of individual routes?
14:29:14  <Rhamphoryncus> It might be failing because the pax have a series of hops they want and your train does them all
14:33:22  <Elukka> my first thought on your nick was 'but it's spelled rhamphorhynchus!' and i have no idea how the hell i remember how to spell something like that
14:33:45  <Rhamphoryncus> lol.  Have you been here for years?  I used to come here 2 years ago
14:34:07  <Rhamphoryncus> And you're right, it is spelled rhamphorhynchus.  Mine's an archaic spelling.  From a kid's dinosaur book many years ago.
14:34:15  <xiong> Elukka, that would actually be fairly realistic -- not quite but nearly -- in some parts of the world just a century ago. Even as recently as 1919, the future General and President Eisenhower found it well-nigh impossible to drive the US coast-to-coast.
14:34:52  <Elukka> nah i've only come here fairly recently
14:35:16  <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: we need multiple grades of roads, with very crude dirt ones that get upgraded and upgraded
14:35:25  <xiong> Rhamphoryncus, I was running, as was my vanilla habit, four horse carriage "buses" clockwise around four road stops. And as I said, adding CCW didn't seem to help much.
14:35:42  <xiong> Ah, now you're thinking SimCity.
14:35:55  <Rhamphoryncus> xiong: try splitting into 4 routes
14:36:00  <planetmaker> that's called road types
14:36:14  <xiong> Dirt roads, two-laners, expressways, superhighways.
14:36:21  <michi_cc> Try YACD instead :p
14:36:38  <planetmaker> :-)
14:37:07  * planetmaker misses the one, two FIRS yacd games. Were loads of fun :-)
14:37:26  <xiong> I'd be happier if I didn't get so many wacky towns centered on tiny islands... with enormously long bridges, with two houses on the far end.
14:38:08  <xiong> But then, Rhamphoryncus, we have to ask about rail classes.
14:38:35  <planetmaker> you have them, xiong
14:38:35  <Rhamphoryncus> heh
14:38:41  <planetmaker> just use an appropriate newgrf
14:39:15  <Rhamphoryncus> Those bridges wouldn't look so silly if there was a dirt road network attached to it
14:39:21  <xiong> Narrow gauge? Welded? Washed-out ballast? Concrete tie?
14:39:27  <planetmaker> you actually even have them by default. called raill, el. rail, monorail and maglev ;-)
14:39:38  <planetmaker> xiong, exactly. Just grab it
14:40:09  <xiong> Fact is, if you want a certain level of detail, you need to go to the hobby store and tell the man what you want. Then you start annoying everyone else in your life.
14:42:12  <xiong> It's been suggested to me that since I moved into a one-bedroom apt; and since I live alone (nobody to annoy much) and use the bedroom only for storage; I *might* just start slapping plaster on plywood.
14:42:18  <Rhamphoryncus> aww, gotta stop playing so I can get other things done

22:00:58  <andythenorth> Alberth: sanity in the newgrf industry spec?  have you been smoking crack today? :)
22:01:32  <frosch123> it is definitely one of the more sane ones :p
22:02:47  <Eddi|zuHause> "better than the station specs"? :p
22:04:24  <frosch123> imo stations < vehicles < cargos < houses < industries
22:04:38  <frosch123> no idea where to put townnames, rails and objects though :p
22:04:38  <Alberth> frosch123: locally deciding based on static data how the industries in the world should evolve without the openttd program being able to intervene or even give hints
22:04:56  <Alberth> townnames are juts eye-candy :p

22:05:15  <frosch123> oh, signals < stations < ...
22:05:45  <andythenorth> vehicles < industries ?
22:05:47  <andythenorth> nope
22:06:16  <frosch123> so you succeded in refittable articulated vehicles? :p
22:06:29  <Eddi|zuHause> depends on what you define as "sane"
22:06:45  <andythenorth> my articulated vehicles are refittable after much studying of failures :P
22:06:54  <frosch123> vehicles have the most arcane, deprecated, conflicting... etc things
22:06:58  <andythenorth> and provision of buy menu magic
22:07:15  <andythenorth> and ensuring lead vehicle is refittable or not depending on your flavour of madness
22:07:20  <Eddi|zuHause> buy menu magic is probably the most problematic
22:07:36  <andythenorth> vehicles have a sane spec in terms of affordances to authors
22:07:42  <andythenorth> but an insane implementation
22:07:51  <andythenorth> industries have the wrong set of affordances
22:08:02  <andythenorth> and the implementation is relatively sane
22:08:10  <andythenorth> you can do all the wrong things quite easily
22:09:39  <andythenorth> maybe industries should get their own script space
22:09:53  <andythenorth> cos adding yet more stuff definitely won't make everything worse :P
22:10:31  <Eddi|zuHause> "embedded newgrf script"
22:10:50  <Eddi|zuHause> that's gonna make things... interesting :p
22:11:04  <andythenorth> opening and closing are the worst
22:11:22  <andythenorth> having to deal with industry spacing yourself is ok, but seems a bit baroque
22:11:38  <andythenorth> everything else is kind of ok as far as I recall
22:15:02  <andythenorth> no it's not

22:18:23  <frosch123> yeah, but scripts cannot deal with such stuff :p

22:21:01  <frosch123> hmm, otoh, maybe
22:21:37  <frosch123> opengfx+industries seem to try to produce any cargo available to any climate
22:22:39  <planetmaker> it can do that.
22:22:58  <planetmaker> by default it doesn't change the industries. It modifies cargos, though
22:23:12  <frosch123> true, it is coded in nml, so it is supposed to have tons of parameters :)
22:23:50  <andythenorth> changing input/output stores you up a lot of insanity
22:24:24  <planetmaker> lol, frosch123. But... might be true
22:25:32  <Alberth> frosch123: I know, I translated the strings, however I have not yet set any of them :p
22:26:04  <planetmaker> Alberth: wheat/livestock might be default. It doesn't treat farms differently for climates.
22:26:11  <planetmaker> But it allows you to select the cargo ;-)
22:26:53  <frosch123> opengfx+industries is like manual industries, but more sane :p
22:26:58  <planetmaker> but it might be a different cargo name there. But... that's of no effect

22:35:12  <Elukka> farms stopping during winter would only make sense gameplay wise if your vehicles automatically understood it and stopped working for the period
22:35:37  <Eddi|zuHause> make a "summer timetable" and a "winter timetable"
22:36:10  <andythenorth> might make much more sense with auto-refit than it used to
22:36:21  <Eddi|zuHause> but really, the timetable system is incapable of automatically handling such temporal changes

22:46:38  <planetmaker> you just unzip it into a separate dir. It comes with everything it needs
22:48:03  <Nat_> I get a bunch of bugs when I do that.

22:48:53  <Belugas> see ayou all!

22:50:46  <planetmaker> or cargodIst?
22:50:51  <Nat_> cargodest
22:51:00  <Nat_> the one that makes cargo have specific destinations
22:51:02  <Nat_> like in simutrans
22:51:38  <Nat_> http://wiki.openttd.org/Passenger_and_cargo_destinations
22:51:47  <Nat_> http://www.openttd.org/en/download-cargodest

22:52:09  <planetmaker> that's of antique value only
22:52:27  <planetmaker> http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/cargodist/ <-- use that, Nat_
22:52:28  <Nat_> what's the last version it's compatible with?
22:52:51  <Eddi|zuHause> it's not "compatible with" anything, it's a standalone version
22:53:21  <Nat_> which do I download, this is a whole dir
22:53:35  <planetmaker> the newest
22:53:54  <Elukka> surely a patch is compatible with some particular revision?
22:53:59  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, need something quick that does: "for each <Text> node: if contains <English> node, and not contains <German> node, copy <English>-content into <German>-content"
22:54:11  <Elukka> wait are those binaries
22:54:48  <Nat_> oh wow it even downloads the graphics
22:54:50  <Nat_> Naughty
22:55:07  <Elukka> oh my god they are new binaries
22:55:08  <Elukka> finally
22:55:32  <Elukka> for something like a year there weren't any
22:55:52  <Nat_> if I were to say load an old game, would it work the same?
22:56:01  <Nat_> or would the new system interact with it funny?
22:56:01  <Elukka> it wouldn't load, probably
22:56:14  <Nat_> it loaded
22:56:22  <Elukka> well, dunno then
22:56:23  <planetmaker> Nat_: it's a patched openttd. Don't expect compatibility with other patched versions
22:57:06  <Eddi|zuHause> Nat_: generally don't assume that a patched version loads anything.
22:57:21  <Nat_> what about scenerios?
22:57:28  <Eddi|zuHause> same
22:57:35  <Nat_> :c
22:58:00  <Elukka> that's the reason i haven't made any of the scenarios i've wanted to make
22:58:33  <Elukka> there doesn't seem to be any safe bet with regards to what version they should be made in
22:58:40  <planetmaker> Elukka: you can always create the scenarios in openttd stable and load it in the patch...
22:58:53  <Eddi|zuHause> *almost* always
22:59:01  <planetmaker> :-)
22:59:06  <Nat_> well I opened the scenerio in the edtior in the patched version
22:59:07  <Eddi|zuHause> e.g. chillpp doesn't load 1.1.x savegames
22:59:11  <Nat_> will there be any problems?
22:59:15  <Nat_> it seems to be running
22:59:25  <Eddi|zuHause> Nat_: if it loaded, it will likely not cause problems
22:59:44  <Nat_> I'm just changing a few quirks in this scenrio, it's a small map with one incomplete industry chain that can't ever be complete
22:59:46  <Elukka> if i make a scenario in stable can it be expected to work with stuff like cargodist and future stables?
22:59:52  <Nat_> because the map has no place forests can spawn
23:00:13  <Elukka> i mean, i realize there's no absolute guarantee and openttd might be very different in 10 years, but as a general rule
23:00:18  <Eddi|zuHause> Nat_: but if you save the scenario in cargodist, you will never ever be able to load it anywhere else
23:00:24  <Nat_> okay
23:00:26  <planetmaker> Elukka: in future openttd: yes. future patch: most probable
23:00:30  <Eddi|zuHause> Nat_: not in normal openttd, nor in any future versions of cargodist
23:00:33  <Elukka> alright
23:00:41  <Nat_> that's cool, I could probably re-create it from the origonal if I wanted
23:00:48  <Nat_> it's on the normal list
23:00:55  <Nat_> Skaldi islands or however you spell it
23:00:58  <Nat_> I love how tiny it is.
