07:10:17  *** sla_ro|master [slaco@95.76.26.172] has joined #openttd
07:11:51  <andythenorth> it makes randomising initial production trivial
07:12:19  <andythenorth> just randomly return one of: -1, 0, +1 for production multiplier value
07:12:41  <Rhamphoryncus> Does that include the "farms produce too little" thing?
07:13:05  <andythenorth> it would allow farms to produce a wide range of amounts on game start
07:13:30  <andythenorth> e.g. the production multiplier could be adjusted in a range [-2..2]
07:13:35  * Rhamphoryncus nods
07:13:59  <Rhamphoryncus> or -2..0 if you want them to start low, without limiting the top end
07:14:36  <andythenorth> yes

08:36:16  <andythenorth> so add a new cargo unit in FIRS: 'bales'

08:38:31  <planetmaker> but as it has 'crates' already a unit 'bales' doesn't hurt
08:38:50  <planetmaker> makes it sound better after all
08:39:00  <telanus> does sound better
08:39:28  <andythenorth> so now I have to figure out how to add it :)

08:52:50  <planetmaker> the 16th is for other purposes like 'none'
08:52:57  <planetmaker> (e.g. for road)
08:53:41  <planetmaker> there's also CompanyID 255, which is the spectators
08:53:41  <Jupix2> pm any particular reason you're ignoring GeekToo? and is it temporary or permanent?

08:54:34  <Jupix2> please comment
08:54:35  <peter1138> Zuu, bits. 4 bytes would allow 4 billion players...
08:54:42  <planetmaker> what shall I comment?
08:54:59  <planetmaker> it feels to me like the upteens iteration of the same discussion
08:55:09  <planetmaker> I feel like I have said all I could argue
08:55:10  <SpComb> peter1138: 2 billion, not counting negative players!
08:55:35  <Zuu> planetmaker: hehe yep good spot :-)
08:55:38  <Jupix2> planetmaker: it's a prototype for a solution to a deadlocked discussion
08:55:53  <Jupix2> planetmaker: if it works, then it's a release for that deadlock
08:55:54  <Zuu> So I created a short draft for SCP http://wiki.openttd.org/Script_communication_protocol
08:56:06  <Jupix2> planetmaker: you need to say either it works, or it doesn't, because X
08:56:54  <planetmaker> he has to prove it works
08:57:03  <planetmaker> it's not my duty to disprove it
08:57:07  <Jupix2> the .grf in there is proof?
08:57:30  <Jupix2> what else do you need?
08:57:36  <Jupix2> a fork of the whole of ogfx?
08:58:22  <Jupix2> as far as i can understand GT can't actually make modifications to the real ogfx+, so making that prototype was pretty much all he could do
08:59:13  <planetmaker> everyone can clone, fork and modify everything found on the devzone. Licenses allow it.
08:59:33  <planetmaker> but of course for a showcase that's not necessarily needed
08:59:48  <andythenorth> Zuu: your idea is functionally similar to my idea of allowing nogo and industry to communicate via the town :P  (which was dismissed as insanse) :)
09:00:15  <planetmaker> Jupix2: but what he does is "here's a few ground sprites coded, now please test every contingency"
09:00:27  <planetmaker> But testing that and showing that it works for all of them is HIS task. Not mine
09:00:53  <planetmaker> He's doing it way too easy by "outsourcing" the lengthy, boring proof of HIS idea to the ones he wants to convince
09:00:56  <planetmaker> sorry.
09:01:09  <Jupix2> what makes you think he hasn't done that?
09:01:17  <planetmaker> I see nothing. I only see the grf
09:01:24  <planetmaker> No screenshots of the problematic things
09:01:26  <planetmaker> nothing
09:01:29  <Zuu> andythenorth: read the backlog of yesterday night to see me and krinn discuss the idea.
09:01:33  <planetmaker> no testgame where all that shows
09:01:38  <planetmaker> or could be checked
09:01:43  <Jupix2> planetmaker: so you need screenshots of those contingencies?
09:02:35  <planetmaker> Jupix2: to put it blunt: I'm currently not willing to invest time in disproving something which I'm convinced to not be a good solution

09:03:19  <planetmaker> especially as I got much to do in RL
09:03:21  <Jupix2> planetmaker: yeah, but what do you need proven?
09:03:51  <Jupix2> GT can't do stuff for you that you don't specify as needing doing
09:03:53  <planetmaker> why his solution is the magic "all is fine thing" while it the "as is" is so much worse
09:04:59  <planetmaker> And I'm very very tired of this "discussion". It really is not more than "it must be done differently"

09:05:21  <planetmaker> Rarely arguments are brought and things really compared ad exemplum
09:05:56  <Jupix2> that may be because you're ignoring the example because "effort"
09:06:07  <planetmaker> with emphasis on where the differences really matter (Like foundations, half-tile slopes, shores, water, rivers, dead-end roads,...)
09:06:30  <planetmaker> Jupix2: I coded the fields myself already... one, two weeks before he coded them.
09:06:48  <planetmaker> No, I did nowhere release that or post that
09:07:19  <planetmaker> other than maybe http://devs.openttd.org/~planetmaker/patches/ogfx-landscape-r111M.zip
09:07:40  <Jupix2> with the technique that he used for the grf he posted on april 8th?
09:07:52  <planetmaker> no, just the sprites as they were
09:07:59  <planetmaker> with their faulty offsets etc
09:08:02  <Jupix2> then yours is irrelevant
09:08:06  <planetmaker> good
09:08:20  <Jupix2> for now what's important is what he posted
09:08:48  <Jupix2> and it's not being considered by the people who can modify ogfx+ which is not good
09:09:10  <Jupix2> so either they need to "wake up" or they need to give privileges to GT who does care
09:09:42  <Jupix2> radio silence does not work

09:10:17  <Jupix2> even if it is based on some actual real argument. because when that argument is not posted, the discussion doesn't move anywhere and no solution is ever reached
09:10:33  <planetmaker> so you basically ask me to cheerio and suddenly change to "oh, that is all fine"?
09:11:05  *** Progman [~progman@p57A19ABA.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
09:11:12  <Jupix2> that's up to you. i'd rather you do that if the grf works fine
09:11:20  <Jupix2> and not ignore it because of principles
09:11:29  <planetmaker> I don't ignore it because of principle
09:11:37  <Jupix2> and if you can't be arsed, then give privileges to someone who can
09:13:12  <planetmaker> But I'm very tired of the "zoom level ground sprites must be changed" "discussion". He has a grf there. Ok
09:13:17  <planetmaker> So... what does it improve?
09:13:21  <planetmaker> Where do I see that?
09:13:30  <planetmaker> Is there any comparison done and shown anywhere?
09:13:33  <planetmaker> I see none. Please do
09:13:39  <Alberth> Jupix2: you don't need privileges, and even he'd give them to someone else, that person has the same problem, namely, doing the next long and boring step of checking everything, and demonstrating all is fine
09:13:43  <planetmaker> Otherwise I consider trunk behaviour fine
09:15:16  <planetmaker> I'm really not sure what your argument is. And what conclusion you draw from GT's posting.
09:16:03  <planetmaker> There's a test grf. Ok. He's talking about compromise. But... doesn't show it
09:16:12  <planetmaker> Leaves all the "find out work" to the readers
09:16:32  <Jupix2> Alberth: if he was even recognized, then it would be his baby, and he would most certainly test it (or be ridiculed)
09:16:46  <planetmaker> It's not convincing to tell people "please convince yourself that I am wrong by investing several hours of your work while I sit back and watch what arguments you can come up with"
09:17:20  <Jupix2> planetmaker: ok, you don't need to convince me any more that you don't want to test, i'll relay what you're saying to him
09:17:48  <Jupix2> as for what the argument is and what the .grf stands for technically, that's something for GT to explain, not me
09:17:53  <Jupix2> the problem i'm solving is the radio silence
09:17:55  <Alberth> Jupix2: so what stops him from doing that now, he needs a pat on the back "good job, now please proof your claims"?
09:18:19  <planetmaker> thanks Alberth :-)
09:18:20  <Jupix2> Alberth: he thought the .grf he posted would do as proof
09:18:38  <Alberth> Jupix2: it is notr radio silence, it is "everything has been said, and nobody has new arguments"
09:18:45  <planetmaker> exactly
09:18:47  <zooks> quick question: is there a way to found towns in nogo? and/or found industries? Or will this ever be added?
09:19:11  <Eddi|zuHause> it's 21°C but i feel cold...
09:19:38  <planetmaker> Alberth is better with explaining what I mean than I am :-)
09:20:00  <Jupix2> Alberth: *sigh* i think a prototype is a pretty heavy argument. we are both pretty astonished that a full ogfx+ fork will be needed
09:20:20  <planetmaker> Jupix2: it's not an argument. It's a tool to make his point. But he stopped making his point
09:20:44  <planetmaker> leaving the hard part of *his* argument to the others
09:20:48  <Alberth> Jupix2: it's like having a patch, and claiming "it works".
09:20:51  <planetmaker> making the actual proof. It's not done
09:21:06  <Jupix2> he just didn't anticipate he'd need screenshots
09:21:19  <Jupix2> he thought you were invested enough to test for yourself and see for yourself
09:21:20  <Alberth> Jupix2: to claim "it works", you have to demonstrate why, and how it looks
09:22:05  <Jupix2> ok, my final point: next time, all that has been said during the last 5 mins, you need to post in a similar situation
09:22:14  <Jupix2> and not go silent
09:22:33  <planetmaker> it was and is his turn to continue...
09:22:39  <Jupix2> you didn't tell him that
09:22:43  <Alberth> Jupix2: he knows we are here, and he has not come to ask either
09:22:44  <planetmaker> does he need you as his spokes man? Can't he talk himself?
09:22:45  <Jupix2> he can't anticipate what you need or want
09:23:05  <Alberth> Jupix2: but he can ask

09:24:03  <Alberth> I think we were both very much asleep at that time :)
09:24:04  <planetmaker> so, is he here?
09:24:08  <planetmaker> no.
09:24:12  <planetmaker> Was I around then? No
09:24:38  <Jupix2> *sigh*
09:24:50  <Jupix2> anyway, i'll relay what you need to him
09:25:02  <Jupix2> next time, read the thread, and reply if you're satisfied, and reply if you'
09:25:07  <Jupix2> re not satisfied
09:25:23  <Jupix2> and i'll tell him to come here more
09:25:23  <planetmaker> errm... I reply when I feel that I can add something new to a discussion
09:25:34  <Jupix2> no
09:25:37  <planetmaker> Just generating white noise in threads is not my style
09:25:40  <peter1138> meanwhile i'm loving all the content that doesn't rely on tile edges
09:26:23  <Jupix2> planetmaker: "affirmative" as a work exists for a reason
09:26:26  <Jupix2> word*
09:26:30  <andythenorth> can anyone quickly convert all my grfs to 32bpp?

09:27:26  <Sara> hi
09:27:30  <Alberth> hi
09:27:41  <Sara> can someone give me tips how to start play ?
09:27:46  <Sara> any tutorials?
09:28:01  <Alberth> the wiki tutorials perhaps?
09:28:09  <planetmaker> there might be some on YouTube and we have a decent wiki with a tutorial
09:28:10  <Sara> im on it
09:28:28  <Alberth> http://wiki.openttd.org/Tutorial
09:28:53  <Alberth> unfortunately, no youtube list at the wiki until now :(
09:29:00  <Sara> ok, starting to learn
09:29:08  <Sara> is it worth it? is this game cool ?
09:29:20  <Alberth> and you ask here?  :D
09:29:31  <Sara> yea, you right :P
09:29:59  <Alberth> it's takes time to get into it
09:30:08  <planetmaker> Sara, it might be worth also to join an MP serer and also see how others play it

09:30:54  <Alberth> yes
09:31:03  <Sara> wow
09:31:05  <planetmaker> of course
09:31:25  <Sara> and then everybody has one city or what?
09:31:37  <Alberth> that's one form
09:31:59  <Sara> but u have to work together to get this going ?
09:32:03  <Alberth> you can play against other people, or *with* other people. The latter is coop style
09:32:26  <Sara> oh,ok
09:32:35  <planetmaker> #openttdcoop Welcome Server </shameless plug> :-P
09:33:06  <Alberth> one of the servers I need to look into one day :)
09:33:11  <Zuu> There is also a in-game tutorial that covers road and aircraft building
09:33:19  <Sara> oh, where?
09:33:29  <Sara> i have openttd 1.2.0
09:33:34  <Zuu> In online content, search for "beginner tutorial"
09:33:37  <Alberth> oh, good point Zuu. Is that at the tutorial wiki already?
09:34:06  <Zuu> After you have downloaded it, you click on play scenario and select the beginner tutorial.
09:34:37  <Zuu> Alberth: http://wiki.openttd.org/In-game_tutorial
09:34:39  <Sara> ok,thx
09:34:52  <Sara> i see that here are some kind of srcipts too
09:34:54  <Sara> cool
09:35:08  <Zuu> Alberth: The article isn't much more than showing that it exists :-)
09:36:02  <Alberth> http://wiki.openttd.org/Tutorial   doesn't show it, I think
09:36:28  <Alberth> perhaps the page is even wrong, you'd expect a kind of index page first, I'd say

09:37:08  <Eddi|zuHause> what's this crazy talk about charging money for "shipping lanes"?!?
09:37:28  <Alberth> someone is trying to sneak IS into the game
09:37:54  <Eddi|zuHause> but for _anything_ ... just not "shipping lanes"
09:38:00  <Alberth> sounds like a nice money machine, you just claim all water, et voila :p

09:39:43  <Alberth> I sort of like having lanes, it may work for path finding, but in an automatic way managed by the game, imho
09:39:58  <Alberth> and none of this IS stuff :)
09:40:12  <Eddi|zuHause> exactly
09:40:23  <Alberth> Hmm, how to convince a town to grow? :p
09:40:35  <Eddi|zuHause> fund new buildings :)
09:40:45  <Zuu> Sara: Yes, it is not complete yet. Hopefully it can help someone, but there is for historic reasons more coverage in the wiki tutorials.
09:41:21  <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: for 7,000 pound?   not going to happen :)
09:41:24  <Sara> ok, i just built an airport :D
09:41:49  <Alberth> now another one :)
09:41:51  *** Jupix2 is now known as Jupix
09:42:00  <welshdragon> What's with the extra zoom levels on 1.2.0?
09:42:39  <Alberth> it's for showing how ugly the current sprites are at high zoom levels
09:43:19  <Alberth> alternatively, you can use it at a high resolution screen, or when your eye-sight is non-optimal
09:43:26  <planetmaker> 11:44 Alberth: I sort of like having lanes, it may work for path finding, but in an automatic way managed by the game, imho <-- you want to become my spokes person? Or do you got a mind reader hidden somewhere?
09:43:45  <Jupix> welshdragon: it's for this: http://wiki.openttd.org/Image:32bpp_fullzoom.jpg ;)
09:44:27  <welshdragon> oh, and with the depots being re-nameable, could the name be put in a sign automagically?
09:44:38  <Alberth> planetmaker: I have hidden a little box in your house during my last visit; I have had some troubles connecting to it, but it seems to work nicely now :p
09:44:48  <planetmaker> :-O
09:45:24  <planetmaker> probably somewhere in the fridge. Made it break down, I guess...
09:45:28  <welshdragon> Jupix: oh yeah, 32bpp xD
09:45:30  <Alberth> (no worries, my mind reader says you won't find it :) )
09:45:37  <planetmaker> :-)
09:46:02  <Rhamphoryncus> Alberth: if you have no money to spend but want to scum up town growth.. two truck stops on the edge of town, preferably even touching, with one truck going rapidly between them
09:46:24  <planetmaker> you could also use a bus. Might even be better
09:46:37  <planetmaker> as it gives some money ;-)
09:47:01  <Rhamphoryncus> afaik they'll grow the same, but a bus will get higher volume and eventually be problematic
09:48:13  <Eddi|zuHause> use trams :)
09:48:16  <Alberth> I have 0 houses, so buses won't do much good :)
09:48:18  <Jupix> planetmaker: also can you please reply to my forum pm, thanks :P
09:48:49  <Alberth> but another town also had 0 house, and now it has 4
09:48:51  <peter1138> Forum PMs generally get ignored. Especially the crap from pervertedmonkey.
09:49:24  <Rhamphoryncus> When demolishing towns for experiments I've often seen them regrow.  Dunno why
09:49:50  <Rhamphoryncus> Presumably a "town is NOT growing" is not so literal

09:50:16  <planetmaker> indeed, that I honestly forgot, Jupix :-) sorry
09:50:27  <Jupix> np
09:50:49  <Rhamphoryncus> and once you have the 1 house you can plaster it with 20 stations.  So long as they get frequent service you'll get growth
09:50:58  <Eddi|zuHause> Rhamphoryncus: yes, even completely unserviced towns grow at a ridiculously low speed
09:51:08  <Rhamphoryncus> Well, there might be a cap somewhere below 20 :)
09:51:09  <planetmaker> I had it even half-written... I'll forward it to you now
09:52:37  <planetmaker> in essence: we got the idea to somewhat totally modify the 'community' section of the main webpage with links to all related, like forums, facebook, google+
09:53:19  <Jupix> are there any problems with that?
09:53:20  <planetmaker> As the stuff there is quite under-represented. Also a nice introduction / show-case video or so would need be picked etc
09:53:22  <peter1138> welshdragon, extra zoom levels are there so that there are extra zoom levels. Quite simple ;-)
09:53:35  * Alberth puts more roads down so the town does not have to do that
09:54:02  <peter1138> 32bpp or 8bpp is irrevelant, we had both of them for a good few years already.
09:54:49  <planetmaker> the question wrt facebook is how to treat the different facebook pages. Dunno whether they can or should be merged or what can be done there. I'm not much into facebook
09:55:14  <Jupix> i've got that. no need for you to worry about it
09:55:26  <Jupix> in a nutshell: they can be merged
09:56:22  <Jupix> when you're implementing the community page the important part is to link to the right one, which is the one i linked before
09:56:27  <planetmaker> I shall be happy about that. But it might need the other people to agree.
09:56:49  <planetmaker> and might need talking to facebook
09:57:02  <Jupix> yeah, i've already started talking with facebook
09:57:05  <Sara> is there a shortcut to close the active window?
09:57:14  <planetmaker> ok, sweet
09:57:37  <Jupix> out of curiosity, has anyone been actually working with the html? or is it just a plan for now
09:58:25  <Alberth> Sara: not really, except delete closes all windows
09:58:43  <Sara> maybe a sricpt
09:58:46  <Rhamphoryncus> Sara: not afaik, but there's an idea: have middle click close the targeted window (shift-middle click for pinned)
09:59:18  <planetmaker> Jupix: the website itself is written in Django
09:59:19  <Sara> thats useful
09:59:53  <Sara> what should i do when a plane has smoke ?
10:00:22  <planetmaker> http://vcs.openttd.org/svn/browser/extra/website
