04:45:04  <Pikka> hmm
04:45:13  <Supercheese> ?
04:45:29  <Pikka> what with the declutter parameter I might want to extend the life of some of the smaller tank locos in UKRS2...
04:45:58  <Supercheese> Jinties and the like?
04:46:04  <Supercheese> Or would that be Jintys?
04:46:48  <Supercheese> 1890-1970, impressive lifetime http://users.tt-forums.net/pikka/wiki/index.php?title=0-6-0_Jinty
04:52:16  <Pikka> pannier tanks at least
04:52:44  <Pikka> with the declutter parameter they disappear in the mid 50s, when they should probably stay available until the diesels that replace them

12:58:07  <Bobjr> I was hoping someone could answer a question of mine regarding valuables?
12:59:16  *** Prof_Frink [~proffrink@5e0097ae.bb.sky.com] has joined #openttd
13:04:36  <peter1138> try asking it
13:04:59  <Bobjr> Sorry
13:05:24  <Bobjr> I send a train of valuables in the appropriate train car from one town to the other, both who say they accept valuables
13:05:35  <Bobjr> However there is no profit, and if I force it to unload it just switches valuables
13:05:49  <Bobjr> That is unloads valuables with no profit, then loads new ones without profit
13:05:51  <Bobjr> What gives?
13:06:24  <peter1138> don't use unload or transfer orders

13:06:51  <Flygon> MNIM: I've have always preffered a feature that allows you to have no breakdowns, but would increase the cost of maintainence instead ^^
13:07:20  <Bobjr> even without the unload order it just trades valuables for no money
13:08:52  <Pikka> post on the forums with a savegame, bobjr
13:09:13  <Pikka> easier than us trying to crystalball it

13:13:34  <Flygon> I'd have suggested the use of Dropbox
13:38:04  <MNIM> hmmmh
13:39:55  <MNIM> does anyone know if 2CC E-locs have (reduced) running costs when being towed along a track without power?
13:48:03  <Pinkbeast> I could be wrong but I thought it was only UKRS2 that varied running costs with power output.
13:50:42  *** ntoskrnl [~not@a91-153-231-146.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #openttd
13:51:32  <MNIM> hmmmh, shame.
13:52:51  <MNIM> could've exploited that to turn my slow turbine mountain trains into high speed trains on electrified flat land lines
13:54:35  <Flygon> Can locomotives be towed above max speed?
13:55:30  <MNIM> no, but they're not reaching max speed.
13:56:37  <Markk> Pinkbeast: 2cc does that as well.
13:57:13  <MNIM> oh, cool
13:57:52  <peter1138> Flygon, locos are never towed
13:58:08  <peter1138> Flygon, i lied, they're towed if they're unpowered i suppose
13:58:13  <Flygon> Well, yeah
13:58:15  <peter1138> but still
13:58:25  <Flygon> Can loco's in OpenTTD be towed by a diff loco above max speed?
13:58:31  <Flygon> As per MNIM's suggestion
13:58:36  <Flygon> In my expereince? No.
13:58:39  <peter1138> no
13:58:50  <Flygon> It'd be a nice feature, though
13:58:53  <peter1138> because max speed comes from all parts of the train
13:59:11  <Flygon> As in, locos having seperate max self-powered speed, and max towed speed
14:00:19  <Flygon> Anyway, brb
14:00:20  <Flygon> Dishes
14:00:48  <MNIM> that would only be if the drivetrain has a different max speed from the rolling part and can be decoupled from it
14:01:37  <Pinkbeast> Steam locomotives are usually towed with coupling rods off so that's not totally unprecedented
14:09:06  <MNIM> Hmmmmh, I suppose, but would they have different towed/powered speeds?
14:28:24  <Flygon> Back
14:28:44  <Flygon> Pinkbeast: Yeah, Steam Locomotives were what were specifically in mind
14:29:07  <Flygon> I know that there's quite a few examples being towed faster than it could hope to achieve light engine
14:30:54  <Belugas> hello
14:31:48  <Flygon> Howdy
14:32:08  <Flygon> Can Electric tractioned locomotives be driven in 'neutral'?
14:34:42  <planetmaker> hello
14:34:59  <Pinkbeast> I believe so - diesels are sent to rescue stricken electrics and of course they have to be able to move them
14:35:53  <Sacro> Yes
14:35:57  <Sacro> of course they can
14:36:01  <Flygon> Oh, excellent
14:36:22  <Flygon> Then such a feature in OpenTTD isn't entirely unrealistic then, for neither steam, nor diesel, nor electric
14:36:38  <Flygon> Though, somehow removing driving rods @ 96km/h would be a worry :P
14:36:50  <Sacro> I'm not sure towing a steam loco is that simple
14:37:07  <Flygon> Eh, a Steam loco towing a Diesel is simple, though
14:37:20  <Sacro> true
14:37:35  <Pinkbeast> Sacro: well, taking the coupling rods off is a job for a fitter. It wouldn't be done routinely.
14:37:50  <Flygon> West Coast Railways had Steam Locomotives fitted with DMU controls so that the locomotive could be accelerated far faster, or so that it could be pushed in case of steam locomotive failure
14:38:15  <Flygon> And the Steam loco regularly went over 120km/h, which is over 20km/h faster than the T/P-class Diesels they often used
14:38:34  <Flygon> Though, it was in the OSpeed range of the S and B classes they sometimes used
14:41:13  <Flygon> Pre-WCR days, though, V/Line would just run the R-class steamers solo for crew training (no Diesel), keep in mind, this's the late 80s, early 90s

17:02:00  <NGC3982> In ~/.openttd, i have several configs i have named openttd_config1/2/3, and so on.
17:02:26  <NGC3982> If i start a game with openttd -D -c <path+filename> it (as it should starts the game with the cfg file.
17:02:57  <NGC3982> If i then shut the game down, and start it again with a new <path+filename>, it writes the data from the old config file onto the new one.

17:22:37  <Pinkbeast> Oh, god, you're a Windows user?
17:22:51  <Pinkbeast> Er well write a batch file that copies all your config files somewhere or something.
17:23:05  <NGC3982> Normally, yes. I have just started using Debian as my server system.
17:23:15  <NGC3982> Err
17:23:18  <Pinkbeast> Didn't take my advice, huh?
17:23:29  <NGC3982> Well, heh.
17:23:57  <NGC3982> Actually, most people i talked to prefered Debian over Ubuntu. Though, i guess you are correct in that Ubuntu might be a better choise for beginners like me.
17:24:17  <MNIM> Try Mint instead
17:24:24  <Pinkbeast> I prefer Debian for me, but then I have been a Unix sysadmin for a wee while.
17:24:24  <MNIM> it's like Ubuntu, except not sucky.
17:24:29  <NGC3982> I will not change operating system just like that.
17:24:32  <NGC3982> That's asking for trouble.
17:24:58  <MNIM> Muh. Ubuntu to mint shouldn't be too hard.
17:25:42  <MNIM> I've done it once.
17:25:49  <NGC3982> That is not important when i have just learned using the basics of this operating system :)
17:26:00  <NGC3982> But yes, i will consider it if this doesn't work out.
17:27:15  <peter1138> Hi
17:28:17  <peter1138> NGC3982, stick with it. it honestly won't be any better with a different distribution
17:28:35  <NGC3982> Yes, i guess so.
17:28:41  <peter1138> they all have their quirks, people recommend whichever because they're used to the quirks and they don't realise they're quirky
17:29:02  <NGC3982> Let's see. I have removed all of the config files and added an original openttd.cfg (with a NewGRF list).
17:29:36  <NGC3982> peter1138: That sounds logical.
17:30:03  <peter1138> and the stuff you're dealing with now isn't anything distro specific anyway
17:30:11  <NGC3982> Hm, allright. It started the server (with no error message) with no NewGRF's. Time to investigate the config file.
17:30:16  <NGC3982> Indeed.
17:30:33  <NGC3982> ..And it replaced it
17:30:39  <NGC3982> With a non-existant file.
17:31:07  <peter1138> no
17:31:27  <peter1138> openttd removes the lines from the config cos they didn't exist
17:31:28  <NGC3982> Where "non-existant" is the file i removed just before starting the server.
17:31:30  <peter1138> it's kinda annoying
17:31:36  <NGC3982> Uhm, ok
17:31:46  <peter1138> basically they're not loaded
17:31:52  <NGC3982> But no, it did -add- the stuff from the old config file
17:31:54  <peter1138> when you exit it saves the config as it is
17:32:07  <peter1138> but because they're weren't loaded, they're not in memory, therefore they're not saved
17:32:11  <Pinkbeast> NGC: of course this stuff about quirks is not why I recommended to you what I did.
17:32:23  <NGC3982> Pinkbeast: I understand that. :)
17:32:44  <NGC3982> I need to pastebin this process.
17:32:46  <peter1138> vcs *is* a good idea for configs
17:32:58  <peter1138> that's why openttd should use .config
17:33:03  <peter1138> so we can just have .config in vcs
17:33:05  <Pinkbeast> And for any file that some helpful program might blow away under your feet
17:33:05  <peter1138> and /etc of course
17:33:19  <peter1138> Pinkbeast, do you vcs your whole system? :D

17:54:27  <NGC3982> I'm actually not sure if it's a bug, or if i'm just wrong.
17:54:39  <Alberth> vcs keeps track of all versions of files you ever gave it to it
17:54:56  <NGC3982> Ah, i see.
17:55:42  <Alberth> and you can give a message with each change, which is usually a line "I changed this and this because ..."
17:56:01  * NGC3982 tries.

17:58:11  <Alberth> so it takes away the boring administration of which versions you exactly have

18:16:42  <Alberth> perhaps you should explain what you're aiming for :)
18:17:25  <NGC3982> I fixed it.
18:17:28  <NGC3982> At least this error.
18:18:17  <NGC3982> I couldn't remove it, so i rm-rf:d it, installed the wrong version with apt-get, removed the wrong version with apt-get (to get the correct lib's so i could:), installed the new version with dpkg.
18:18:31  <NGC3982> So now, i'm at square one, a default OpenTTD install that works.
18:18:41  <peter1138> o_O
18:19:13  <peter1138> packages are never owned or installed as a user
18:19:31  <peter1138> running openttd as a user will never mess with the installaion
18:19:43  <peter1138> there is no need to uninstall and reinstall to "fix things"
18:20:28  <peter1138> so what's the difference between openttd_advertise1.cfg and openttd_UKRS.cfg ?
18:21:40  <Sacro> peter1138: man diff
18:21:50  <NGC3982> peter1138: I wanted to reinstall the game, so i could make sure the problem was not on my side.
18:22:05  <NGC3982> The UKRS config contains two NewGRF files, and Advertise1 contains a 20-ish.
18:22:06  <Sacro> rm -r ~/.openttd
18:22:18  <NGC3982> Both files are tested in a Windows system, and seems to work there.
18:23:57  <NGC3982> The NewGRF's are the only thing that separate the contents of both files.
18:24:37  <peter1138> "openttd_UKRS.cfg" does now look exactly like "openttd_advertise1.cfg". It has during the server start/stop been overwritten with the old file.
18:24:42  <peter1138> that cannot happen
18:25:11  <peter1138> there game will not have magically loaded a different config file
18:25:19  <peter1138> and then saved it over the one specified
18:25:28  <NGC3982> Well, it does. I have re-tried this five times, and i will now do it again.
18:26:00  <NGC3982> I'm sure -i- am the problem. It's not like i'm saying OpenTTD is magic.
18:26:15  <NGC3982> But i can't get past it, even when i closely follow my own actions.
18:29:50  <NGC3982> I now tried with two files: openttd.cfg (default) and openttd2.cfg. The only difference was the starting_year. That worked.

20:17:03  <NGC3982> The server is at ttd.dndr.se:4000.
20:17:13  <Supercheese> Is it only with that .grf?
20:18:15  <NGC3982> As for now, yes. I have not tried any other NewGRF.
20:18:38  <Supercheese> I'm not seeing it here...
20:18:39  <NGC3982> The parameter works for the other server (at ttd.dndr.se:3979) with UKRS2.
20:18:40  <Supercheese> odd
20:18:59  <NGC3982> And you are using 0.3.0?
20:20:38  <Supercheese> I see your problem
20:20:52  <Supercheese> 0 14 0 0 ≠ 0 1 4 0 0
20:20:57  <NGC3982> Oh!

21:16:49  <planetmaker> boah, Pikka you really don't want anyone to even find signals on tracks with your finescale tracks, right?
21:19:31  <peter1138> that's what 2x view is for :p
21:20:04  <peter1138> i find huge signals ugly as
21:20:18  <planetmaker> I don't even recognize or see them at 4x°
21:20:34  <planetmaker> it's a dot in the same shade as the tracks...
21:20:45  <planetmaker> just faintly different colour
21:20:52  <planetmaker> with an invisible post...
21:21:25  <planetmaker> I see the signals somewhat when the backside is visible. But frontisde... no chance

21:56:37  <ComLock> Hi
21:56:52  <ComLock> Any developers here, I need some help with those widgets
22:01:34  <ComLock> I need talk on the dev channel
22:01:59  <ComLock> How can I trigger UpdateWidgetSize
22:02:12  <ComLock> from DrawWidget
22:02:18  <ComLock> or is that bad idea
22:04:48  <planetmaker> InvalidateWindowData
22:05:07  <planetmaker> But... DrawWidget doesn't resize anything. It shouldn't
22:05:58  <ComLock> hmm
22:06:43  <michi_cc> planetmaker: Some windows do (well, from OnPaint mostly). It's not the best idea, so avoid it if you can.
22:07:00  <michi_cc> If you really must, use ReInit() (check IndustryViewWindow::OnPaint).
22:07:04  <planetmaker> michi_cc, I'm aware, yes. But... as you say :-)
22:07:32  <planetmaker> it's there rather for hysterical raisons. Rather than sense
22:07:47  *** St3f [~Anonymous@53577204.cm-6-8b.dynamic.ziggo.nl] has joined #openttd
22:08:13  <michi_cc> In that case it is because it displays arbitrary NewGRF strings that can change each paint.
22:08:16  <ComLock> lets say one has 2 WWT_PANEL in NWID_VERTICAL
22:08:27  <ComLock> the top one is vertically resizeable
22:08:33  <ComLock> the bottom is not
22:08:57  <ComLock> However I calculate the bottom height based on width
22:09:54  <michi_cc> Do that calculation in OnResize if you can.
22:09:56  <ComLock> So some times I want to manually change the height of the bottom widget, giving/taking height from the upper one
22:10:35  <planetmaker> why you want to do that?
22:10:44  <michi_cc> Or via InvalidateWindowData if the size change is triggered by specific events.
22:11:22  <ComLock> but OnResize does not have any arguments (hmm,maybe I don't need them)
22:11:51  <ComLock> I need the width of the widget
22:12:17  <ComLock> I could store it in the window, but I guess it's avail somehow?
22:14:33  <Alberth> you may want to look at the smallmap legends panel
22:15:06  <planetmaker> :-) Listen to Alberth. He wrote the widget system
22:15:19  <frosch123> someone else recently played ottd? :p
22:15:32  <Alberth> planetmaker: like I know anything about it :p
22:15:37  <frosch123> how did you experience the new open-vehicle-gui-on-clone experience?
22:15:49  <frosch123> i am very much pondering just reverting it :p
22:16:20  <Alberth> FS#4458 has a PM about that I don't understand
22:16:28  <frosch123> it's too hard to clone vehicle multiple times, and i don't think a proper solution for it
22:16:32  <ComLock> Alberth, yes I'm doing the smallmap legend on the industry window: http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5455/getfile/8884/filter_industry_list2.png
22:16:59  <frosch123> Alberth: it's about opening the vehicle gui when cloning via the depot button
22:17:24  <frosch123> but not when there is already one clone waiting in the depot
22:17:38  <frosch123> i guess it might be just for using the clone button ni the newly built vehicle gui
22:17:45  <ComLock> Should we not talk in #openttd.dev ???
22:18:01  <frosch123> ComLock: only when it is busy here
22:18:03  <andythenorth> frosch123: build one, open window, clone
22:18:05  <andythenorth> simples
22:18:09  <andythenorth> I got it straight away tbh
22:18:35  <andythenorth> avoids a billion useless windows
22:18:35  <frosch123> andythenorth: did you use the clone button from depot at some point?
22:18:40  <andythenorth> probably
22:18:46  <andythenorth> clone first, open window, clone more
22:18:48  <frosch123> maybe it should open the window when using the depot button
22:18:53  <andythenorth> maybe
22:18:54  <frosch123> but not when using it from the vehicle gui
22:19:03  *** roadt [~roadt@60.168.94.140] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
22:19:03  <andythenorth> definitely not from vehicle gui
22:19:07  <frosch123> (when there is already vehicle in the dpot, and you are cloning multiple)
22:19:18  <andythenorth> bear in mind I am ctrl-cloning nearly always
22:19:20  <andythenorth> for shared orders
22:19:27  <andythenorth> so opening windows for me is just boring
22:19:50  <frosch123> i almost never ctrl+cloned today :p
22:20:03  <Alberth> multiple clones in the depot is complicated, as the 'clone' is not sticking
22:20:05  <frosch123> build one ship, clone it and only replace the loading station order
22:20:10  <frosch123> while keeping the drop-off order
22:20:21  <Alberth> I do that too :)
22:21:06  <ComLock> michi_cc, I think IndustryViewWindow::OnPaint will help me
22:21:09  <Alberth> ComLock: how is sort of making a copy of the smallmap legend not working then?
22:21:41  <Alberth> ComLock: OnPaint sounds too late for sizing imho
22:21:51  <ComLock> Cause the smallmap legend has buttons which sets minimum height
22:22:33  <ComLock> Yes but if i can detect that width has changed, then I can trigger reinit
22:22:34  <Alberth> no, the heights of the industries legends are used too

22:24:09  <frosch123> the rockall one
22:24:10  <Alberth> ComLock: I wondered a few times whether the various industries should not have a different colour of text
22:24:23  <andythenorth> figures
22:24:30  <andythenorth> Alberth: that might be horrible :)
22:24:34  <andythenorth> contrast wise etc
22:24:46  <frosch123> yeah, text colours are bad :p
22:24:47  <michi_cc> ComLock: The industry legend data should only change if the industries change (i.e. on NewGRF reload), which can be handled with (On)InvalidateData. The legend itself can also change if the width of the window changes (because the user resized the window) and this case can be handled with OnResize.
22:24:52  <Alberth> perhaps, but all text the same is not very useful too
22:25:03  <ComLock> Alberth, smallmap seems to work
22:25:08  <frosch123> you can make the legend colour bigger
22:25:12  <ComLock> So I must have borked it along the way :)
22:25:13  <frosch123> and draw the text on top of it
22:25:26  <frosch123> we even have a pick white/black textcolour best matching contrast function
22:25:32  <ComLock> haven't programmed c or c++ in like 10 years, so I'm heavily frustrated
22:25:34  <frosch123> which we use in the staiton list for the cargo labels
22:25:59  <ComLock> Moose in perl is just a dream to work with in comparison
22:26:03  <Alberth> ComLock: try java for a week, and you'll find c++ heaven :p
22:26:05  <frosch123> but anyway, i don't think colours improve the smallmap
22:26:16  <frosch123> the blink on mouse over is more useful
22:26:22  <frosch123> and icons instead of colours might be cool
22:26:35  <Alberth> frosch123: I was talking about the text in the industry list
22:26:42  <frosch123> and well, what eddi suggested: supply/demand instead of industry type
22:26:57  <Alberth> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5455/getfile/8884/filter_industry_list2.png  <-- all entries look the same
22:26:59  <frosch123> Alberth: oh, did you see the filter patch then?
22:27:17  <Alberth> no, ComLock just posted that link
22:27:42  <frosch123> https://secure.openttd.org/bugs/task/5455/getfile/8877/filter_industry_list.png <- i liked that one more actually :p
22:28:17  <frosch123> i don't see any use in using colours in a list :o
22:28:50  <Alberth> so you can see what block of farms you have, and where the block of iron thingies starts
22:29:01  <frosch123> i also wonder about the "show only non-transported"
22:29:15  <frosch123> to me it feels that should rather be integrated into the "sorting critera"
22:29:44  <frosch123> like "production amount", "transported amount", "untransported amount", "transported percentage"
22:30:11  <frosch123> Alberth: yeah, ok, then a icon in front would be fine
22:30:17  <frosch123> but i don't think it needs a legend
22:30:20  <NGC3982> Don't watch the movie "Flight" while having a whiskey.
22:30:23  <frosch123> every line already says what it is
22:30:51  <Alberth> 2nd or 3rd seems unneeded, but yeah, seems useful to merge "show only non-transported" into the sort criteria
22:31:08  <frosch123> oh, and while we are talking about improving the list... the numbers should be aligned into columns
22:31:18  <frosch123> and without those silly parentheses
22:31:19  <Alberth> +0.9 :)

22:33:53  <frosch123> maybe the "type" thingie should be removed from the sorting criteria
22:34:08  <frosch123> instead there could be a toggle button whether to group same types or mix them
22:34:27  <frosch123> while keeping the selected amount or name criterion
22:36:51  <ComLock> sort and filter are two very different things...
22:38:10  <ComLock> I would also like ability to filter away industries without production
22:38:29  <ComLock> filter is much more effective than sort
22:38:35  <frosch123> ah, yeah, i see; i guess for secondary industries that makes sense
