00:15:00  <andythenorth> the solution I have for global constants is just *not* better than the c pre-processor way
00:15:08  <andythenorth> ${global_constants.truck_type_nums.fifth_wheel_truck}
00:15:19  <andythenorth> instead of NUM_TRUCK_TYPE_FIFTH_WHEEL

08:06:43  * Rhamphoryncus swears at tropic refurbishment for finally giving him the highest speed box car.. but splitting it into 3 types, one of which being slower than the others and thus dictating the speed of his entire line
08:08:29  <Rhamphoryncus> Clearly such things require a very different style of play, one I have not discovered yet
08:09:19  <Elukka> i think it requires accepting that sometimes trains have to stop at signals :P
08:09:40  <Elukka> it would be nice if trains knew to slow down when needed so they wouldn't have to come to a complete stop
08:09:58  <Rhamphoryncus> I have a high volume trunk line.  They *need* to be in harmony to move effectively
08:12:09  <Rhamphoryncus> I was thinking that.  Check the speed of the train in the block ahead (actual speed, not max speed), distance to our signal, etc, and slow down a bit
08:13:33  <Rhamphoryncus> Path signals need some concept of caravaning too, so they'll use that and stick to their line normally, but switch to the other lane when it's nice and open
08:13:50  <Rhamphoryncus> Or a way to put speed rules on lanes :P
08:16:02  <Rhamphoryncus> Actually, multiple rail types could do that.  Expensive high-speed rail could get a mild penalty for slow-speed vehicles
08:21:30  <Elukka> well, they already know to pick an empty line between two equal choices (except that one has a train somewhere down the line)
08:21:49  <Elukka> there was the speed signs patch a long time ago... i think it died

08:26:34  <Rhamphoryncus> Picking an empty line with path signals doesn't work.  They switch lines *far* too often.  I do have a priority merge by abusing presignals, but I need to redesign it to move them faster
08:35:16  <planetmaker> don't build line switches. Just build your hubs that each lane can go each other on branches
08:38:21  <Rhamphoryncus> So transfer at stations?  Or don't transfer, just pass through?
08:38:37  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: i think we need to split the early austrian railway into several, just "kkStB" doesn't cut it
08:38:50  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: i'm thinking StEG, KFNB and SB for starters

08:46:23  <Rhamphoryncus> Interesting idea.. rather than a rolling merge do a stopping merge.  I could also just have a 6-wide waiting area.  The point is to suck up the backlog in an efficient way, rather than letting it propagate back through the line

10:02:34  <planetmaker> Eddi|zuHause, sure it's needed? And... what are those new abbreviations?
10:04:15  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: the problem is that the development in austria is kinda reverse to the development in germany. the first railways were state-owned and later privatize
10:04:55  <Eddi|zuHause> so around 1900 you get lots of similar engine types
10:05:51  <Eddi|zuHause> the abbreviations are: SB: SÃŒdbahn, StEG: Staats-Eisenbahn Gesellschaft and KFNB: Kaiser Ferdinand Nordbahn (i think)
10:06:15  <Eddi|zuHause> where it's my impression that those are the three biggest
10:07:20  <Eddi|zuHause> possibly also the ÖNWB (österreichische Nordwestbahn)
10:08:41  <Eddi|zuHause> where the north and northwest of austria actually means modern czechia :)

10:32:01  <planetmaker> I see. Well. I'm not familiar with the evolution of railways in that area really. If the diversity or amount of engines justifies a split - why not. On the other hand one could make a unified core (as now) and just allow three different expansion settings for that
10:32:53  <Rhamphoryncus> I found a use for break vans!
10:33:28  <Rhamphoryncus> When a UFO lands nearby.. you buy one, 'cuz they're free, and leave it in the depot.  This avoids having to fix orders that involve said depot.

15:25:19  <Rubidium> there's no specific openttd port/patch developer channel; most of that just happens in here
15:26:31  <tensai_cirno> Rubidium, okay. Looks like I figured out my little hurdle.
15:37:21  *** TheBrick [~chatzilla@g187024.upc-g.chello.nl] has joined #openttd
15:37:41  <TheBrick> hello there
15:38:38  <Rubidium> hi
15:38:48  <TheBrick> I've got about 20 hours to spend contributing to this project. got anything to do for me?
15:38:59  <TheBrick> I've got basic programming skills
15:39:03  <Belugas> hello
15:39:18  <TheBrick> hey
15:39:45  <TheBrick> or is there a todo list somewhere that I can take a look at?
15:40:09  <Rubidium> the "to do" items are all pretty complex
15:40:17  <Rubidium> though... do you have Mac OS X?
15:40:26  <TheBrick> nope windows, sorry
15:40:42  <TheBrick> I could fetch a virtual machine maybe
15:41:29  <TheBrick> if there's brainless grinding work to be done, I'd be happy to do it
15:42:23  <Rubidium> the only brainless stuff to do is fixing some of all the warnings/errors Doxygen generates
15:42:31  <Rubidium> i.e. document/fix documentation
15:43:22  <TheBrick> could I spend 20 hours on that and make significant headway?
15:44:38  <Rubidium> I guess you could write a significant amount of documentation, though start with the simple stuff unless you want to figure out how the complex functions really work
15:45:17  <Rubidium> the advantage is that you can usually stop somewhere midway with documentation and it's not unfinished, just some stuff isn't documented yet
15:45:49  <Rubidium> whereas trying to write some feature or fix a bug within 20 hours might be take too much to get it to completion within that time
15:45:51  <TheBrick> sounds like a job. is it separate documentation, or do I have to put comments into the code?
15:46:18  <TheBrick> fixing bugs is something I could likely do
15:46:51  <TheBrick> I'm just not very familiar with C++'s specific features and depths of hell
15:50:07  <TinoDidriksen> What is the need for OS X stuff?
15:50:39  <andythenorth> OS X has lots of open bugs
15:50:58  <andythenorth> enough that dropping OS X support has been considered
15:52:14  <TinoDidriksen> Nobody has OS X to work on it?

16:06:10  <tensai_cirno> it works :D
16:07:02  <planetmaker> TinoDidriksen, for OSX you should (also) be familiar with Objective C(++) and the specific OSX APIs
16:07:17  <TinoDidriksen> ...or just use Qt
16:08:10  <planetmaker> lol?
16:08:25  <planetmaker> how's that a solution?
16:08:44  <planetmaker> one could at the same time - and simpler - demand to use SDL
16:08:58  <planetmaker> and spend time in making that work nicer on OSX
16:09:16  <planetmaker> but all that won't help really. Or at least not quickly
16:09:30  <planetmaker> one of the main issues is that OSX is quite hard to virtualize
16:09:39  <planetmaker> thus you cannot well create test environments.
16:09:51  *** bondau [~bondmain@C-59-100-116-94.bri.connect.net.au] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
16:09:57  <planetmaker> And that the API deprecates quickly
16:10:20  <planetmaker> thus you're forced to re-write stuff which works fine on version X, but ceases to compile on version X+2
16:10:23  <TinoDidriksen> Qt's QGraphicsView could do the graphics OpenGL accelerated, and Qt on OS X has a very nifty deploy script that bundles all required libs into a .dmg. No need to fiddle with platform specific APIs.
16:10:54  <planetmaker> good. Then fiddling with apple apis is replaced by fiddling with qt apis
16:11:18  <planetmaker> what is gained then?
16:11:24  <planetmaker> Given that qt is used nowhere?
16:12:00  <planetmaker> and usually given that native APIs tend to be faster?
16:12:08  <tensai_cirno> Which OS-level API's are used? Threading, files, network stack.
16:12:22  <tensai_cirno> SDL used for graphics, sound and input

16:12:29  <planetmaker> SDL is not used on osx
16:12:34  <tensai_cirno> e
16:12:42  <tensai_cirno> why?
16:13:22  <glx> because it often fails maybe
16:13:26  <planetmaker> it's osx support is worse than the native api
16:13:28  <__ln__> because it has various bugs of its own.
16:13:28  <TheBrick> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/3939?project=1&order=tasktype&sort=asc&pagenum=5 this seems like something I could do. is this request still applicable?
16:13:47  <planetmaker> and the osx SDL version is kinda buggy
16:14:21  <TinoDidriksen> Well, making a Qt project would mean one project that would work on WinXP+, Linux, OS X. I might take a stab at that in 2-3 months time...going to invest in a real Mac instead of my current VirtualBox one that I use for building my Qt apps.
16:14:51  <glx> sdl is not used for windows port either
16:15:28  <planetmaker> TinoDidriksen, adding a Qt backend certainly is a project on its own. Maybe it's worth it. But maybe also not
16:15:38  <planetmaker> I'm not sure how well it really supports the platform specifics
16:16:45  <tensai_cirno> Could anyone point me, where code for save/load dialogs located? Application crashes, when I'm trying to leave sandbox.
16:16:47  <TinoDidriksen> So far, all the Qt stuff I've done as "just worked" on all platforms.
16:17:17  <tensai_cirno> TinoDidriksen, there are lots of platforms, where Qt doesn't work
16:17:20  <glx> tensai_cirno: should be in a _gui.cpp file

16:30:36  <spongie> Hi guys. Is there an image or info on the optimal 2 track balancer. I have two tracks in the same direction, so far all the "sollutions" online present different problem.
16:31:22  <planetmaker> define "optimal"
16:31:48  <spongie> when I use pre signals i have the problem that a train might start moving towards the switch and then get blocked by a speedy train on the other track
16:31:50  <planetmaker> I dare say there is no 'optimal' as the "best" solution depends on the circumstances and the definition of "best"
16:32:17  <spongie> when I use path signals they mysteriously halt the trains sometimes even though a clear path is obviously available.
16:32:34  <spongie> almost as if it takes time to calculate the reservation
16:32:44  <planetmaker> http://wiki.openttdcoop.org/Main_Page <--- did you look through that wiki or the related blog?
16:32:50  <spongie> indeed.
16:34:06  <spongie> both the coop site and the regular openttd wiki examples of this result in this behavior since both are using either pre signals or path signals
16:36:14  <spongie> planetmaker: what would you consider the best solution?

17:06:06  <planetmaker> spongie, as said: there's no general answer. It really depends on the exact circumstances. I'd build a good system with prios where side lines merge and maybe a shift-mainline system
17:07:41  <planetmaker> TheBrick, it's a bit difficult. Not all info are available prior to join. But a solution making use of the existing info should not re-invent the wheel but use the existing sorting framework
17:08:53  <TheBrick> alright. I'm familiar with sorting algorithms, so it sounds like a good idea to try?
17:10:41  <planetmaker> TheBrick, there are other parts which might be nice to fix. Like if you use the OpenGFX+ BigGUI NewGRF you'll notice that there are several places where the sprite size is not properly taken care of in the GUI
17:11:08  <planetmaker> like the x close button on the top left of some windows
17:11:16  <planetmaker> or the <- or -> arrows in some places

17:22:19  <spongie> planetmaker: its the shift mainline thingy im wondering about
17:23:17  <planetmaker> spongie, it will make sure that the lines are used absolutely unbalanced :-)
17:24:42  <spongie> ok. basically, I have an extra track in the same direction as the mainline and im looking to take some load of the first track
17:25:10  <spongie> my mainlines are usually LLRR
17:25:49  <spongie> and although it sorts of balances with either the pbs or pre signal solutions, theres still a fair amount of erronous shifting and blocking
17:26:32  <TheBrick> I'll see what I can do, planetmaker, but I'm unfamiliar with everything here (project, game, codebase, forums, etc) so I'm looking for directions on how to get started with all this. I have to reference my work here, so an existing bug that I work on sounds like the best approach

20:01:08  <tensai_cirno> right mouse button used only for scrolling map?
20:01:10  <Chris_Booth> Hi!
20:01:50  <tensai_cirno> i want to implement scrolling with double-finger gesture
20:02:05  <frosch123> rmb can also be used to show tooltips
20:02:25  <frosch123> the depotview also has a speical ctrl+right click tooltip
20:02:33  <frosch123> minimap is also scrolled using rmb
20:02:33  <tensai_cirno> tooltips for what?
20:02:54  <frosch123> those thingies which pop up after some seconds
20:03:09  <frosch123> instead of the delay than can also be shown via rmb
20:03:18  <frosch123> there is an advancted setting for that
20:03:30  <frosch123> tooltips via rmb is the traditional ttd method

20:03:36  <frosch123> delay is more modern
20:04:04  <andythenorth> evening
20:04:13  <frosch123> but i think in the train depot the rmb tooltip always works, since it is not suitable to do that kind of tooltip via an hoover delay
20:04:35  <tensai_cirno> usual tooltips could be sacrificed.
20:04:46  <tensai_cirno> rmb+click on trains in train depot?
20:05:29  <tensai_cirno> yep, I see
20:05:44  <tensai_cirno> first time noticed them
20:06:12  <tensai_cirno> Well, playbook can detect up to 4 fingers, I think I'll work around that somehow :)

21:34:59  <__ln__> i'm not sure it's an entirely positive thing that there are only three HDD manufacturers left in the world...
21:35:54  <TheBrick> partly positive is a greater demand for SSD => cheaper SSDs
21:40:15  <valhallasw> TheBrick: in general higher demand leads to more expensive products
21:40:26  <valhallasw> however, a high demand will also stimulate competition
21:40:50  <TheBrick> I mean there is a high demand for low priced SSDs
21:41:01  <TheBrick> so yes, competition for low prices

23:00:28  <andythenorth> is there any harm in duplicating about 95% of the code in a newgrf several times?
