00:16:52  <Rhamphoryncus> TheBrick: bogosort is only O(∞) worst case.  Average case isn't quite as bad.
00:17:18  <TheBrick> ah yeah
00:17:25  *** MNIM [~mBuntu@ip5452ffad.adsl-surfen.hetnet.nl] has joined #openttd
00:17:41  <TheBrick> while (); is that on average though
00:17:42  <__ln__> worst case is not denoted by O()
00:17:56  <TheBrick> well, type me an omega
00:18:52  <__ln__> Ω or ω?
00:19:11  <TheBrick> eh, well I'm not fluent in this shit anymore, it's been quite a whie
00:19:14  <TheBrick> which one is the right one?
00:19:25  <__ln__> i don't remember
00:19:25  <TheBrick> theta was average case
00:19:51  <TheBrick> what bound is O then?

00:19:56  <TheBrick> I thought it was worst case
00:20:06  <TheBrick> time to look that shit up
00:21:13  <TheBrick> where's wikipedia for the mathematically declined?
00:22:36  <TheBrick> well whatever
00:23:03  <Rhamphoryncus> We're programmers, we don't need to use it "correctly".  It's like the english language: we stole the word for ourselves.
00:23:47  <__ln__> i'll check the Book... to see if it possibly is the worst case
00:24:09  <TheBrick> I think I get it again though. O is worst case, omega is best case, theta is when both have equal complexities
00:24:35  <TheBrick> that's probably the undergraduate level understanding of it

00:25:47  <TheBrick> omega is apparently not that clear cut

00:31:16  <__ln__> i have the definition right here
00:32:05  <__ln__> O(g(n)) = { f(n) : there exist positive constants c and n0 such that 0 <= f(n) <= cg(n) for all n >= n0 }.

00:33:41  <TheBrick> this is not the time for maths
00:33:53  <TheBrick> it's time for... sleep
00:33:57  <__ln__> O() is an asymptotic upper bound, the Book says. Ω is asymptotic lower bound.
00:34:14  <TheBrick> so it's worse than the worst case?
00:34:49  <TheBrick> if you consider infinities not to exist
00:35:41  <__ln__> worse than worse sounds bad
00:36:11  <TheBrick> well if you're an optimist; it's never quite as bad as it says

09:25:05  <Elukka> well, the wagon body is usually shorter at the end with the platform/cab
09:25:16  <andythenorth> can my python script import nmlc and build the grf?
09:25:18  <Elukka> on the next wagon i'm gonna see if i can get away with a symmetric one though

10:58:32  <chester> how to make it show then
10:58:47  <Eddi|zuHause> dunno, that is outside my area of expertise
10:59:11  <Eddi|zuHause> my "area of expertise" generally ends with "there exists a solution" :)
10:59:12  <chester> is there any flag or smth forcing rendering

11:51:37  <Rhamphoryncus> I was writing out all the branches for updating the previous/next/first/last pointers and it's ending up as 4 cases of 6 lines each.  Plus a check that there's at least 3 vehicles to swap
11:54:56  <Rhamphoryncus> down to a total of 3 lines, plus a call to MakeCyclic/MakeAcyclic at the top and bottom of the function
11:55:51  <Rhamphoryncus> Actually, those helpers are only 2 lines each, plus 2 assertions.  I could just as well merge them in.
11:56:29  <Eddi|zuHause> keep them separate and make them inline
11:56:45  <Rhamphoryncus> static inline void
11:56:57  <Eddi|zuHause> something like that, yes
11:57:00  <Rhamphoryncus> Now I just need to make C++ accept them :P
12:07:12  <Rhamphoryncus> ... I can't have a static inline method in a .cpp file and if I put it in the header I don't have the right other headers pulled in x_x
12:10:08  <Rhamphoryncus> nor can I include vehicle_base.h since it's already including order_base.h
12:12:16  <Eddi|zuHause> why shouldn't you have static inline function in the .cpp file?
12:13:07  <Eddi|zuHause> of course, "static" means something completely different inside a class
12:13:49  <Rhamphoryncus> static inline *functions* are fine.  Methods it chokes on because they're not declared in the class
12:14:42  <Rhamphoryncus> interesting point though, I had blindly copied the static keyword in to the class for the declaration.  When I later tried to move the whole definition there I removed it, but I never tried the declaration without it.
12:14:56  <Rhamphoryncus> Nope, that chokes too

13:25:43  <dihedral> looks like you want to do something you should not want to do :-P or you are thinking too complicated
13:29:06  <Rhamphoryncus> It'd be good coding style in C.  In C++ it seems to be "eh, don't bother"
13:29:29  <Eddi|zuHause> it's inherently difficult to make methods inline
13:29:37  <Eddi|zuHause> because they could be overridden and stuff
13:29:53  <Eddi|zuHause> so you need to make them private
13:30:17  <Rhamphoryncus> But there's two reasons for it in C: one is to avoid name conflicts, the other is actually be private.  C++ doesn't seem to actually allow the latter :P

14:07:28  <andythenorth> I've added sys.path.append('/opt/local/bin/')

14:08:11  <Eddi|zuHause> well, it'll only search for .py files
14:08:20  <Eddi|zuHause> you'll need to import main.py
14:08:56  <andythenorth> k
14:10:10  <Eddi|zuHause> actually, if you "make install"-ed it, you should be able to do "from nml import main"

14:10:57  <andythenorth> makes me itch every time
14:11:06  <andythenorth> I've aliased it currently
14:11:14  <andythenorth> if I set the actual path to nml src, I can import
14:11:26  <Eddi|zuHause> well, then you have to set the path

14:16:13  <Eddi|zuHause> after you "from nml import main"-ed, you'll probably want to run "main.main(args)"
14:17:10  <andythenorth> what should args be? :)
14:17:53  <Eddi|zuHause> an array of what you would give after nmlc

14:19:40  <Eddi|zuHause> so if you'd write "nmlc --nfo cets.nfo cets.nml" then you'd call "main.main(['--nfo','cets.nfo','cets.nml'])"
14:20:51  <Eddi|zuHause> like "cmdline.split(' ')[1:]" (roughly)
14:21:55  <Eddi|zuHause> if you'd call nmlc like usual, it would pass "argv[1:]" to main()

15:37:16  <andythenorth> :)
15:37:23  <Eddi|zuHause> must be behind the "python script.py" line
15:37:35  <Eddi|zuHause> the "GENERATE=" line is only the dependencies
15:38:48  <Eddi|zuHause> also make sure the makefile doesn't try to expand the ${} sections

15:39:22  <andythenorth> maybe

15:57:38  <Elukka> posssssibly but i already have way too many wagons to draw and i'm getting them done way too slowly :P
15:57:43  <Eddi|zuHause> he must first draw wagons :p

18:23:58  *** peteris [~peteris@78.84.97.170] has joined #openttd
18:27:20  <SpComb> andythenorth: you can also do `with open(...) as myfile: ...`
18:27:51  <SpComb> and if you do something like `data = open(...).read()` there's not really any need to explicitly close() it
18:28:07  <SpComb> but if you do `self.thatfile = open(..)`, then yes, do explicitly close it and clear the reference
18:28:39  <SpComb> python refcounting guarantees you that the file object will be closed once you drop all references to it
18:30:08  <Eddi|zuHause> i'd have some reservations towards relying on refcounting

20:20:27  <Terkhen> Jensen1986: just ask your question
20:20:51  <Jensen1986> how do i take control of an AI company in TTD?
20:21:05  <Terkhen> activate cheats and move yourself to the AI company
20:21:18  <Terkhen> that can be done in OpenTTD, no clue about TTD
20:21:24  <Jensen1986> not by buying their shares. I mean to take control and rearrange busses ect.
20:22:08  <Alberth> In OpenTTD, like Terkhen says
20:22:35  <Jensen1986> The difference between OpenTTD and TTD is?
20:22:48  <Alberth> different games?
20:22:52  <Rhamphoryncus> One has been worked on this millenium? ;)
20:23:08  <Alberth> 25 years?
20:23:17  * andythenorth ponders
20:23:26  <Rhamphoryncus> Alberth: eh?
20:23:41  <Alberth> Rhamphoryncus: wasn't it 1984?
20:23:54  <Rhamphoryncus> I was including windows versions
20:23:55  <Jensen1986> I'm using TTDX editor... Is that the same?
20:24:34  <Rhamphoryncus> And as long as it hasn't been touched in 2001 or later my statement is right
20:24:35  <Alberth> Jensen1986: not even close
20:24:46  * Alberth believes Rhamphoryncus
20:25:17  <Alberth> Jensen1986: both games may look the same, but internally they are totally different
20:25:24  <Jensen1986> hehe. You wouldn't believe me if i told you ive been playing this game for 10 years or so with my knowledge of it
20:25:45  <Alberth> yeah, it's addictive :)
20:26:06  <Alberth> wait until you try OpenTTD, and find all the nice additions that were made ;)

20:36:40  <Jensen1986> nice. Gotta try that. I know this has been debated over and over. But why is it you cant have more than 4.3 billion in cash. Why dont the rewrite the game to 64 bit`?
20:37:19  <Alberth> it compiles and runs at 64bit
20:37:59  <Jensen1986> but you still cant have more than 4.3 billion? I thought it had something to do with that?
20:38:02  <Alberth> 'billion' is about 1,000,000,000 ?
20:38:28  <Alberth> oh, in that case, OpenTTD can do approximately:

20:38:49  <Alberth> give or take a few bits :)
20:39:14  <Jensen1986> yes it is. so in OpenTT you can have much more money`?
20:39:45  <Alberth> it's OpenTTD (with a D at the end), but yeah

20:46:11  <planetmaker> well... the dependency also relies on it. But you can edit-out that step. And you'll have to rewrite the rule for the nml file which uses cpp to generated it from the pnml file
20:46:30  <andythenorth> yup

21:09:20  <Alberth> planetmaker: how is the closebox X defined in big GUI?
21:09:20  <Alberth> In the code, it computes maxdim(GetStringBoundingBox(STR_BLACK_CROSS), GetStringBoundingBox(STR_SILVER_CROSS)); as size, while the sticky box does maxdim(GetSpriteSize(SPR_PIN_UP), GetSpriteSize(SPR_PIN_DOWN));
21:09:20  <Alberth> It looks like the text-sizes are still not functioning
21:09:49  <Alberth> (while sprites do work)
21:10:58  <peter1138> i have a wip patch for all that stuff...
21:11:02  * Rubidium wonders what made Jensen think OpenTTD "only" supports 2**32 in money
21:11:15  <Alberth> he plays TTD ?
21:11:21  <peter1138> text-sizes are always based on the specified size, not the size of sprites
21:11:27  <Alberth> (and thinks both games are the same :) )
21:11:42  <Rubidium> Alberth: in TTD it was 2**31 (you can have negative money as well)
21:12:40  <planetmaker> Alberth: it's a font sprite iirc
21:13:04  <planetmaker> the text size calculation might ignore the special chars
21:13:19  <planetmaker> and... tbh, Alberth, IMHO the X for windows should be a normal sprite, not a font sprite
21:13:25  <planetmaker> would make it much easier
21:13:25  <peter1138> it never calculates height
21:13:56  <Alberth> planetmaker: that also holds for the arrows imho
21:14:02  <peter1138> problem with making it a sprite is it has a shadow
21:14:13  <peter1138> and it is recoloured for the news window
21:14:20  <peter1138> however, i did make all the arrows sprites
21:14:33  <planetmaker> Alberth: maybe... but the funny thing is: it's not always broken. Like for the sprite picker (newgrf debug)
21:14:34  <peter1138> "i have a patch for that...."
21:14:56  <planetmaker> peter1138: the adv. settings currently look ugly with it
21:15:16  <peter1138> it's never "broken"
21:15:37  <peter1138> for the windows where it's different, it's always because they have other buttons as well
21:15:44  <peter1138> so not so "funny"
21:16:24  <Alberth> planetmaker: it has a sticky button
21:16:47  <Alberth> planetmaker: I removed the sticky button from the airport toolbar, and it failed
21:17:39  <Alberth> ie the big size of the sticky button forces the whole titlebar to be high
21:18:53  <Alberth> (mostly as someone made the X not larger than the pin :p )

22:06:49  <Rubidium> for machines it's bad
22:06:56  <andythenorth> needless parsing
22:07:05  <andythenorth> machines like name / value pairs, without endless scaffolding :P
22:07:23  <Rhamphoryncus> How hard is it to add new windows and buttons and such?
22:07:29  <andythenorth> very very very hard
22:07:30  <andythenorth> for me
22:07:32  <Rubidium> for communication between independently developed systems that needs easy extensibility it's something else
22:08:05  <Rhamphoryncus> andythenorth: you have a lot of experience in openttd innards?
22:08:13  <andythenorth> only the industry bits
22:08:16  <andythenorth> otherwise not
22:08:17  <Alberth> Rhamphoryncus: new windows (ie making a new unique combinations of buttons and such that fills a rectangle) not so difficult
22:08:30  <Rhamphoryncus> Alberth: *nods*
22:08:39  <andythenorth> XML as an input to newgrf templating would be bonkers
22:08:45  <andythenorth> I'd just end up templating it :P
22:08:52  <Alberth> making a new button itself is harder, internally lots of size computations are performed
22:09:13  <Rhamphoryncus> ahh
22:09:28  <Alberth> although for elementary things like a close box it is pretty simple too :)
22:09:39  <Alberth> as they have a fixed size :)

22:10:45  <Rubidium> Rhamphoryncus: it renders nicely ;)

22:11:39  <Rhamphoryncus> related: loading old savegames is critical, but otherwise it is possible to change what gets saved?
22:12:03  <Alberth> Rhamphoryncus: that's what savegame versions are for :p
22:12:04  <planetmaker> that's what savegame versions are for. yes
22:12:16  <planetmaker> :-)
22:13:17  <Rhamphoryncus> I worry I'd have to overcome a lot of inertia if I overhaul how orders/timetables are managed, since there's so much history in ttd
22:14:12  <Alberth> oh, it's  -(x^2)  and not (-x)^2, that makes it much easier :)
22:15:01  <andythenorth> oh
22:15:06  <andythenorth> this could use an update :| http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Vehicles#Refittability
22:15:16  <Rubidium> oh come on... still not pasted in wolfram?
22:16:20  <Rhamphoryncus> Couldn't remember the name, heh
22:17:50  <Rubidium> it's easy to remember

22:18:47  <Rhamphoryncus> Oh is that what it's named after..
22:20:34  <Alberth> Rhamphoryncus: what kind of new button do you have in mind?
22:20:49  <Rhamphoryncus> Alberth: all of them :P
22:20:53  <andythenorth> hmm interesting: http://paste.openttdcoop.org/show/1022/
22:21:01  <andythenorth> so why would that fail to return a result?
22:21:19  <andythenorth> or rather, why would that return 0xFF?
22:21:21  <Rhamphoryncus> I haven't fully decided yet.  I've been playing with different approaches to maintaining a schedule
22:21:27  <planetmaker> 0xFF is no valid CB result, andy
22:21:31  <planetmaker> use the in-built constants
22:21:34  <andythenorth> oh
22:21:39  <andythenorth> wonder where I got that from :o
22:22:31  <planetmaker> like CB_FAILED
22:22:39  <Rhamphoryncus> But I need to handle the current timing in a different way, so I can easily compare across different points in the order list
22:22:46  <Alberth> Rhamphoryncus: with "button" I mean a really new type of button, like a maximize button or so. If you want variations of existing buttons (eg one with a different text), that's what I consider 'window'
22:23:07  <andythenorth> hmm
22:23:12  <andythenorth> also it's just bad logic no?
22:23:20  <andythenorth> a graphics chain should always end on graphics
22:23:30  <planetmaker> yes
22:23:37  <Rhamphoryncus> New elements might include a way to pick out delays with the mouse, rather than having to enter text for the number of days
22:23:45  <Rhamphoryncus> Mostly just window right now though
22:23:56  <andythenorth> but why would cargo_classes not return a result in range 0-255?
22:24:07  <Rubidium> you can already set the times without the keyboard
22:24:16  <Rubidium> (the physical keyboard that is)
22:24:22  <planetmaker> andythenorth: still, then return the default graphics
22:24:28  <andythenorth> I changed it
22:24:31  <andythenorth> just curious
22:24:38  <andythenorth> it's only happening for Wool cargo
22:24:40  <andythenorth> afaict
22:24:52  <andythenorth> wondered if the class bitmask was somehow odd?
22:25:02  <Rhamphoryncus> Rubidium: click order, click change time, click...
22:25:22  <planetmaker> depends on what you want to check, andythenorth
22:25:30  <planetmaker> if you want to check PAX, rather use
22:25:41  <planetmaker> cargo_classes & bitmask(CC_PASSENGERS)
22:25:59  <planetmaker> and then check for 1 and 0 (as default)
22:26:03  <andythenorth> ok so that's the equivalent of an nfo mask?
22:26:08  <planetmaker> yes
22:26:14  <andythenorth> k
22:26:35  <planetmaker> it's simply how boolean logic works in... python

22:46:50  *** frosch123 [~frosch@frnk-590fe5ab.pool.mediaWays.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
22:47:31  <Alberth> if you want to go to NFO, you eventually have to go to integer format anyway
22:47:53  <Alberth> besides, also in Python, integers are faster than generic sets of arbitrary objects
22:48:05  <Rhamphoryncus> of course
22:48:42  <Alberth> andythenorth:  os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join(currentdir, "sprites/nml")   ---> os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join(currentdir, "sprites", "nml")       / placement is exactly what os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join" target="_blank">os.path.join is for :)
22:49:28  <andythenorth> I should replace those then?
22:49:44  <Alberth> if (len(sys.argv) > 1):   <-- no parentheses around conditions, they are not needed
22:50:00  <andythenorth> oh yes
22:50:08  <andythenorth> I pasted that from an example :P
22:50:11  * andythenorth ducks blame
22:50:20  <andythenorth> is this ok? sys.path.append('sprites/nml') # add to the module search path
22:50:20  *** Neon [~Neon@dslb-094-219-017-244.pools.arcor-ip.net] has quit [Quit: Python is way too complicated... I prefer doing it quickly in C.]
22:50:26  <andythenorth> seems to work
22:50:31  <Alberth> lines 25/27 have different indent than 30+
22:50:50  <Alberth> it is however very much not recommended
22:50:55  <andythenorth> fixed
22:51:14  <Alberth> you should do it with PYTHONPATH outside the script
22:51:24  <andythenorth> I'm mixing 2s and 4s on spaces.  dunno why
22:52:22  <andythenorth> PYTHONPATH -> command line args -m ?
22:52:27  <Alberth> python 2 or 3   ?
22:52:44  <andythenorth> 2.6.x for me
22:53:08  <Alberth> never used -m
22:53:15  <andythenorth> think I'm reading the docs wrong
22:53:33  <Alberth> class Trailer:  <-- needs inheriting from object then   class Trailer(object):
22:54:45  <Alberth> self.properties['refittable_classes'] = standard_class_refits['default']['allow']   <-- why not simple instance vars?   self.refittable_classes = ...  ?
22:55:23  <Alberth> # used for the purchase menu  <-- triple-quoted doc-strings?
22:55:56  <andythenorth> doc-strings for defs?
22:55:58  <andythenorth> ok
22:56:13  * Alberth uses epydoc standard for that
22:56:27  <Alberth> usually the text is longer than the code :)
22:56:38  <andythenorth> I'll read epydoc
22:57:10  <andythenorth> why not simple instance vars? <- for convenience when using them in the template
22:57:20  <andythenorth> it (nearly) everything is in vehicle.properties, it's easier
22:57:24  <andythenorth> it / if /s
22:57:28  <Alberth> vehicles = [Truckid=i,properties=j for i,j in vehicles_dict.iteritems()]
22:57:50  <Alberth> oh missing parentheses with Truck, sorry
22:57:52  <andythenorth> oh the one line game :)
22:57:59  <andythenorth> ok
22:58:11  <Alberth> Truck(id=i,properties=j)
22:58:13  <andythenorth> let's use a comprehension :P
22:58:17  <andythenorth> they always make me feel smart
22:58:32  <Alberth> imho these cases make sense
22:58:37  *** TGYoshi [~TGYoshi@86.81.146.146] has quit [Quit: Popidopidopido]
22:59:01  <andythenorth> yup
22:59:48  <andythenorth> class Trailer:  <-- needs inheriting from object then  class Trailer(object) <- this is the only thing I didn't understand so far...?
23:00:32  <Alberth> you could make constants   TRUCK_CAPACITY = 'truck_capacity'  and use the upper-case constant everywhere
23:00:47  <andythenorth> I could
23:00:54  <andythenorth> it's worth considering
23:01:30  <Alberth> class Trailer: is an old-style class, obsolete since 2.0 iirc    class Trailer(object): is a new-style class. It behaves nicer
23:01:36  <andythenorth> ok
23:01:47  <andythenorth> so it's just explicit what it inherits from?
23:02:10  <Alberth> no, it is really different, old-style don't inherit from object at all
23:02:16  <andythenorth> ok
23:03:31  <Alberth> in python3, 'object' inheriting is default I think, so there it is "classTrailer:" again :)    (but you need to check that, I am not sure)
23:03:37  <andythenorth> k
23:05:02  <andythenorth> thanks
23:05:11  <Alberth> your paths at the end also have /-es in them, which should be composed by os.path.join instead (so win* users also have good paths)
23:05:57  <Alberth> yw, if you want I can take another look at it this weekend or so; this was a quick one
23:06:02  <Alberth> just let me knwo
23:06:05  <Alberth> *kniow
23:06:07  <Alberth> *know
23:06:09  <Rhamphoryncus> Augh, FormatString is recursive?  And not just one way but multiple ways?  I can already hear the headache sneaking up on me
23:06:09  <andythenorth> ok thanks
23:06:14  <Alberth> time to go to bed :)
23:07:21  <Alberth> Rhamphoryncus: just make nice strings like in src/lang/english.txt :)
23:07:36  <Alberth> no need to dig in the details of rendering characters
23:07:41  <Alberth> good night all
23:08:02  <Rhamphoryncus> I was just exploring how the API works.  "a calls b, b calls c, c, calls d, d calls b, b calls b..."
23:08:17  <Rhamphoryncus> Actually that skips several steps I don't understand yet :P

23:19:30  <valhallasw> and locals(), but in any case - you have a dict representing all local/global variables
