09:54:53  <Xaroth|Work> are they enabled?
09:54:58  <Tuhin> not a single *
09:55:14  <Tuhin> where to eneable it
09:55:18  <Tuhin> enable*
09:55:54  <Xaroth|Work> that... i don't know :P
09:55:55  <Tuhin> found
09:56:07  <Tuhin> now it says no suitable Ais found
09:56:17  <planetmaker> Tuhin, yes, you need to download AIs first
09:56:24  <Tuhin> ah bummer
09:56:26  <planetmaker> there's quite a few with different strengths etc
09:56:37  <planetmaker> you can do so from ingame, not difficult, just two clicks away
09:56:52  <Tuhin> so which is balanced.. i dont want any super Ai who crashes my bus with his trains....
09:56:53  <planetmaker> checkout our wiki for AI comparison chart, if you need a guide
09:57:17  <planetmaker> such AI doesn't exist really. They all play fair

10:03:40  <Tuhin> btw the 1st plane i bought in 1st game crashed on 1st flight.....
10:04:03  *** Flygon [~Flygon@147.18.214.218.sta.commander.net.au] has joined #openttd
10:04:16  <Tuhin> i think the game makes too frequent plane crashes
10:04:34  <Flygon> This is Flygon. And Flygon is going to ask a reeeaaally reallllly dumb question. You will be absolutely astounded by how dumb it is. And 0.1% isn't too frequent.
10:04:41  <Flygon> Or was it 1%...
10:04:43  <Flygon> Either way
10:05:18  <Flygon> If a rail vehicle has a x-Hydralic geared transmission (eg. switching to 2nd gear from 1st @ 65km/h, then 2nd gear to 3rd @ 130km/h, for a maximum speed of 200km/h)
10:05:43  <Flygon> Does it still have a singular tractive effort in an OpenTTD context?
10:05:56  <Flygon> Or does the NewGRF format somehow account for this?
10:06:24  <Tuhin> 0.0
10:06:41  <Xaroth|Work> you can disable plane crashes iirc
10:07:02  <Flygon> You can
10:07:09  <Flygon> It's in the Advanced Controls/Options
10:09:58  <Tuhin> yes i eventuay did.. but i expected balanced natural game..without cheats...
10:10:26  <Tuhin> in original TT, it was rare and was really like accident all of a sudden....
10:10:51  <Tuhin> but in OpenTT it happeded too frequently in "Normal" setting
10:11:57  <Tuhin> planetmaker, i downloaded AI NoCab = it buillds all kind of stuff
10:13:21  <juzza1> Flygon: probably no newgrf author has bothered to code variable TE depending on driving speed
10:13:30  <Flygon> Hmm, alright
10:13:39  <Flygon> Well, if a complete Victoria or Australia set happens
10:13:48  <Flygon> That elephant in the room's gonna needa jabbing
10:13:55  <Flygon> It's a veeeeeeery popular transmission here
10:14:05  *** DarkAce-Z [~BillyMays@50-32-40-157.drr01.hrbg.pa.frontiernet.net] has joined #openttd
10:14:18  <Flygon> I'd even bet money we'll wind up with an Electric-Hydralic HST EMU by 2025 for the Geelong line
10:15:16  <Flygon> So, the possibility exists, but hasn't been tried...
10:15:34  <Flygon> juzza1: The real confusion comes in, when you consider that each gear costs a different amount to run
10:15:43  <Flygon> And that the onboard computer changes gearchanges depending on speed
10:16:15  <planetmaker> Flygon, honestly, changing the TE for that purpose is a completely clear case of over-engineered
10:16:18  <Flygon> eg. 1st gear switches to 2nd anywhere from 65km/h to 90km/h, and 2nd to 3rd anywhere from 100km/h to 140km/h
10:16:52  <Flygon> planetmaker: Well, it worked. They accelerate over 3x faster than the ICE-TD with the same top speed!~
10:17:13  <planetmaker> I don't talk of real life, I talk of NewGRFs :)
10:17:25  <Flygon> Oh, right

10:17:43  <Flygon> But wouldn't having it locked to the 1st gear acceleration rate render the DMU waaay overpowered?
10:18:03  <Flygon> Considering it'd accelerate as fast/faster than a majority of Australia's EMU sets x.x
10:18:40  <Tuhin> what ai u all use/installed?

10:21:44  <juzza1> Flygon: possibly, if you insist on copying stats 1:1
10:21:52  <Flygon> Ehh...
10:21:58  <[1]Tuhin> what i missed
10:21:59  <Flygon> I'm a stickler for realism
10:22:00  <Flygon> But
10:22:08  <Flygon> I'm even more of a stickler for being lazy
10:22:18  <Flygon> So nothing'll come of this for at least 36 months anyway x3
10:22:38  <Flygon> I really do hope we make the Electric-Hydralic HST, either way...
10:22:48  <[1]Tuhin> Flygon, maybe u can provide the dev team with some speed/gear numbers and they can implement
10:22:53  <Flygon> 1.2m/s+ for a 200-210k/h train would be pretty neat
10:23:26  <Flygon> ...assuming that the standard Diesel-Hydralic style transmission wouldn't explode
10:23:47  <Flygon> Tuhin: The Ausset one?
10:24:56  <[1]Tuhin> Ausset AI ?? i cant find such name
10:25:06  <Flygon> Oh, I derped
10:25:11  <Flygon> Sorry >_<"
10:25:18  <Flygon> I thought you were talking about a train set
10:25:20  <Flygon> And I got confused
10:25:25  <Flygon> And I am very sorry x:

13:16:44  <Andreas> I am trying to expand on krinn's award gs by adding some awards. I want to add an award for funding certain industries. So far all I could find is the IndustryOpen event
13:17:14  <Andreas> but that does not tell who funded it (or even if it was placed randomly by the game)
13:17:35  <Andreas> so I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction
13:17:43  <planetmaker> hm... actually... not sure anymore. An industry can decide who may found it. Not sure that the founder is actually remembered anywhere, though
13:19:11  <Andreas> would it be possible in some way to intercept the DoCommand for funding an industry?
13:21:18  <Pikka> planetmaker, it is, I think.
13:22:04  <Pikka> or at least it is known at the time it's founded, I seem to remember a newgrf that gave an industry your company colour when you built it.
13:22:16  <Pikka> perhaps I'm dreaming though, I just got up. :)
13:22:22  <planetmaker> Pikka, yes, it is. The (internal) struct knows owner and founder
13:22:38  <planetmaker> with a remark that owner should always be OWNER_NONE ;)
13:22:58  <planetmaker> Andreas, not sure what event ET_INDUSTRY_OPEN reports
13:24:00  <planetmaker> seems only IndustryID
13:24:23  <planetmaker> Seems you need to find the GS thread in the forums and see whether that idea / request is already there
13:24:57  <planetmaker> Andreas, the easiest way would be to implement a function which returns the founder of an industry; that function simply doesn't seem to exist
13:25:45  <planetmaker> but take my word with a grain of salt. I'm not very well aquainted with the scripts api
13:26:06  <Andreas> Thankyou. Yeah, I allready tried EY_INDUSTRY_OPEN, and I made it give a message when an industry opens telling : {INDUSTRY} has been opened!
13:26:43  <Andreas> but I could not find anything in relation to the founder indeed
13:29:39  <Andreas> I know the xShunter plugin by xOR gives achievements for funding industries, but I think I recall that xShunter achievements are based on the DoCommands sent...
13:39:33  <planetmaker> "plug-in" :D
13:41:43  <Andreas> indeed :p
13:44:07  <Xaroth|Work> sounds more like "dirty hack" :|

13:52:32  <Andreas> well I suppose it is, but on the other hand, a lot of things that it implements are not possible in GS (due to api and other limitations) so, if they want to use the "oficcial" road they have to: 1) suggest the new functionality 2) wait for devs to aprove/disaprove 3) wait for it to be implemented. This takes a lot of time. Also if you want to appeal to the average player, it is best to stick to trunk, which makes the road from suggestion to impl

18:29:42  <Eddi|zuHause> random idea: "town-classes" (town/city/village/...) are influenced by different amount of maximum stations (e.g. village: 1, town: 5, city: 10) regarding growth acceleration
18:30:56  <Andreas> sounds interesting but would make it even easier than in allready is to grow towns
18:31:25  <Andreas> and I hear more about towns growing to fast than the other way arround
18:31:32  <Eddi|zuHause> and possibly, towns may switch class randomly (similar to random industry production) to a lower or higher class
18:32:09  <Eddi|zuHause> well the problem is not that towns grow too fast, but that they all grow equally fast
18:32:46  <Eddi|zuHause> i have no problem with some towns getting huge, but others should stay small so there are rural areas left in late game
18:33:43  <Eddi|zuHause> and this could completely replace the (totally arbitrary) "city growth factor"
18:34:17  <Eddi|zuHause> the increased number of stations could lead to mostly the same effect
18:34:33  <Eddi|zuHause> but then it's easier to extend to more classes
18:35:12  <Eddi|zuHause> (but i fear the answer is: "make a GS")
18:35:28  <jrambo> not a bad idea to have more rural areas later, but, if it is going to be done that way, at least make it like: village 1-5, town 5-15+, etc.
18:36:20  <Eddi|zuHause> jrambo: it's not the amount of stations you can place, it's the amont of stations considered for town growth speed
18:36:33  <Eddi|zuHause> which is currently hardcoded at 5
18:36:56  <frosch123> [19:29] <Eddi|zuHause> random idea: "town-classes" (town/city/village/...) are influenced by different amount of maximum stations (e.g. village: 1, town: 5, city: 10) regarding growth acceleration <- i would suggest the exact opposite
18:37:12  <frosch123> a maximum number of stations is stupid and limits gameplay fun
18:37:41  <frosch123> instead there should be a minimum number of serviced stations for a town being able to maintain a certain population
18:37:47  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: so more like "a station in a village has lower effect on an open-end scale"?
18:37:49  <jrambo> yes, i understand. still, maybe an industry is served with a lot of stations, and the town doesn't need to grow
18:38:05  *** Pereba [~UserNick@179.186.27.48.dynamic.adsl.gvt.net.br] has joined #openttd
18:38:18  <frosch123> currently town growth is an integral value
18:38:27  <jrambo> plus, the town should need a lot of bus (tram?) stations, to make it really huge
18:38:40  <frosch123> whatever the player does influences the speed of growth, which results in big towns with 1 station or whatever
18:38:51  *** Wolf01 [~wolf01@host58-55-dynamic.182-80-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #openttd
18:39:23  <Eddi|zuHause> so we need an actual world economy simulator :p
18:39:25  <frosch123> player actions should increase the limit for the town size, not affect the speed of growth
18:39:48  <Wolf01> hi hi
18:40:14  <jrambo> thankfully, there are newgrfs :D
18:40:42  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: but since town size is effectively a function of (blocked) space and number of houses closing vs. town growth speed, what would a maximum size really do?
18:41:14  <Andreas> limit the max no of houses in a town?
18:41:19  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: generally, with cargodist/yacd, you get more stations in a town than needed to speed up the growth to max
18:41:52  <Eddi|zuHause> which does not produce useful gameplay IMHO
18:42:08  <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: well, my main target is to punish 64x64 stations and support a dense area of many stations
18:43:00  <Andreas> so Eddi|zuHause if I understand correctly your aim is to make towns grow faster if no of stations is higher?
18:44:22  <Eddi|zuHause> no, i want more elements of town growth that is independent from player interaction
18:45:04  <Eddi|zuHause> if max. number of stations is 1 for villages, then the "natural" town growth has much higher effect
18:45:14  <Eddi|zuHause> and the player-influenced effect is lower
18:45:29  <planetmaker> max number as in max number which has an influence, yes?
18:45:34  <Eddi|zuHause> for city or metropolis with 10 or 20 stations, it's the opposite
18:45:37  <planetmaker> Or you really want to disallow building more stations?
18:45:49  <Eddi|zuHause> planetmaker: no, but i said that already
18:46:44  <Eddi|zuHause> (where "metropolis" might not be created at game start, but instead is a "merging" of towns when it grows really large)
18:47:06  <planetmaker> I'm sure the hassle to merge towns is not worth the effect
18:47:17  <Andreas> so basically you want players to use towns that are growing allready in stead of players growing towns?
18:47:54  <Andreas> *by adding stations, delivering stuff and so on?
18:49:07  <Eddi|zuHause> no, more like "there's no point in focusing on this town, focus on that town instead"
18:50:24  <Eddi|zuHause> take some ECS farms that say "we close when the town grows too close"
18:50:49  <Eddi|zuHause> it's practically impossible to place this somewhere, because ALL towns grow too close
18:51:37  <Andreas> so in short it would kind of randomly allow towns to grow (or not)
18:53:35  <Eddi|zuHause> it would not stop growth, but slow it down (or accelerate) on a basis that the player could easily detect
18:55:48  *** andythenorth [~Andy@194.168.185.226] has joined #openttd
18:57:40  <Eddi|zuHause> there are more things that are "wrong" with town growth, e.g. the size of town zone 5 (skyscrapers) is too large too quickly
18:58:25  <Andreas> ok so let me rephrase what I asked earlier: you want some towns to have a faster groth potential (detectable in some way by a player) and some to have lower potential. This in order to have a bigger difference between different towns?
18:58:39  <Eddi|zuHause> yes

19:46:21  <andythenorth> surprisingly works well
19:46:41  <Eddi|zuHause> some old TT(D) versions had a bug where you could run trains on water
19:47:11  <Eddi|zuHause> trains and ships share the same trackbits (movement pattern)

20:20:14  <Tuhin> 2. What's the difference between City and Metropoiton Airports
20:21:01  <Pinkbeast> You can't rotate airports; one has more runways IIRC?
20:21:13  <Tuhin> yes
20:21:21  <Tuhin> what's the benefit?
20:21:29  <Pinkbeast> Land and take off more aircraft.
20:21:32  <Tuhin> why keep single runway airport?
20:21:41  <Tuhin> dual run way costs more?
20:21:45  <Tuhin> airport size is same
20:21:53  <Pinkbeast> I think it's introduced later.
20:22:13  <Tuhin> i mistakeny built singlerun way one....

20:23:44  <Tuhin> Latest
20:23:48  <frosch123> 1.2 would be good enough

20:24:11  <Tuhin> that
20:24:13  <frosch123> check online content
20:24:19  <Tuhin> ok
20:24:34  <frosch123> anyway, will only work for new games
20:25:27  <Tuhin> i started this new game
20:25:36  <Tuhin> and the 1st thing i built is that airport

20:28:02  <frosch123> what do you already have?
20:29:00  <Tuhin> some AI
20:29:07  <Tuhin> and latest 1.3.3
20:29:17  <frosch123> must have is only stuff without alternative. i guess that only applies to ogfx+airports and heqs
20:29:31  <Tuhin> i m playing OpenTTD after years of gap....
20:29:40  <Tuhin> heqs?
20:29:59  * andythenorth will have an alternative to heqs one day
20:30:00  <frosch123> for trains there are many choices, but if you are  more of a gamer than a train fanatic you might want "nuts"
20:30:23  <Tuhin> i m gamer
20:31:01  <frosch123> for road vehicles you need "heqs" and some second set for busses and small trucks (either "ogfx+rv" or "egrvts" most likely)

20:32:17  <frosch123> for stations you pick "isr" and "chips" and then as many as you like or think that the menu becomes unuseable due to too many options
20:32:49  <frosch123> for industries - if you are a gamer - you pick either "ogfx+industries" or "firs" or default industries
20:33:07  <frosch123> for houses you pick either default houses, or maybe "swedish"
20:33:26  <planetmaker> well. pick ogfx+industries or firs. By default ogfx-industries is the same as default industries but improved graphics
20:33:38  <frosch123> for objects you pick as many as you get
20:33:54  <planetmaker> hm, except toyland
20:33:55  <frosch123> for railtypes you do not pick anything if using "nuts"
20:34:28  <frosch123> oh, and finally you pick one townname set which sounds most unknown to you
20:34:38  <andythenorth> and a GS...? o_O
20:34:55  <Tuhin> hm
20:35:37  <frosch123> i think you should play without GS for the first game, unless you use the "tutorial"
20:36:21  <Tuhin> i know how to play
20:36:34  <Tuhin> GS is for?
20:36:50  <frosch123> later you can choose between GS which favour cargo transport ("sillicon valley", "nocargoal"), town growth (many), or mixed stuff ("gsawards")
20:37:02  <frosch123> https://wiki.openttd.org/Gamescript
20:37:35  <frosch123> GS make the game a bit less sand-boxy by adding goals or score
20:38:16  <frosch123> while the default game as score or money, it is not considered particulary challenging or interesting
20:39:09  <frosch123> anyway, default is fine if you do not want to be forced to have a goal, but rather like sandbox
20:39:40  <Tuhin> i used to buy competitors in original TTD... that used to be my goal
20:39:53  <andythenorth> that's an anti-goal :)
20:39:56  <andythenorth> they make such a mess
20:40:05  <Tuhin> yeah
20:40:06  * andythenorth had better do some pixa stuff
20:40:12  <andythenorth> what do I need to do again?
20:40:37  <Tuhin> add some barracks, troops, tanks and fighters/bombers
20:40:51  <Tuhin> then battle AI to OpenTTD
20:41:00  <Tuhin> :P
20:41:41  <frosch123> nah, that is a boring thing
20:41:52  <frosch123> every game that is seeking for some purpose tries to do war

20:42:02  <frosch123> because it is the only "money sink" they can imagine
20:42:11  <Tuhin> maybe add borders in map....  a player gets to develop and work in his own territory
20:42:26  <frosch123> thats called "head to head"
20:42:29  <Tuhin> whoever manages his territory most gets developped better
20:42:32  <frosch123> but is unmainted for 3 years or so
20:43:05  <Tuhin> better development= more industrial output= troop production...then war
20:43:17  <Tuhin> Like Anno Games
20:43:27  <frosch123> i have no purpose for my money = war
20:43:57  <frosch123> games only have war because they do not offer unlimited expansion
20:43:57  <Tuhin> well i m talking about Revolution to expand game mechanics
20:44:04  <Tuhin> maybe add a trading layer?
20:44:20  <Tuhin> "Port Royale" "The Patrician" like gameplay
20:44:30  <frosch123> i hope not like recent simcity :p
20:44:52  <Tuhin> didnt play recent Simcity...it looked dumbed down to me
20:44:56  <frosch123> reduce the mapsize to 32x32, and add regions which connect servers
20:45:11  <frosch123> then make trains just drive in circles
20:45:22  <Tuhin> lol
20:45:42  <Tuhin> sometimes i want to disable trains... the ai kills the map with rails...
20:46:15  <frosch123> you can disable specific transport types for the ai in advanced settings
20:46:28  <Tuhin> hmm
20:46:31  <frosch123> but some ais will just commit suicide if they cannot build what they want
20:46:43  * Tuhin playing OpenTTD after years of gap
20:46:55  <Tuhin> how??!!
20:47:08  <Tuhin> how they commit suicide?
20:48:11  <frosch123> there are ais like "chopper ai" which are designed to focus on a single transport type
20:48:21  <frosch123> if you disable that one they won't do anything
20:48:38  <frosch123> either they sit around until they bankrupt or they give you a fu window
20:48:51  <Andreas> still, somebody (or something) would die
20:49:04  <Andreas> and therefor he hs got his way (war)
20:49:43  <Tuhin> i plan to play with airport-  airplanes- helis only
20:50:00  <Tuhin> and trucks for industry
20:50:15  <Tuhin> railroads just messes up
20:50:29  <frosch123> certainly a unique opinion :p
20:50:30  <Tuhin> why game have to be unpaused to build anything??????
20:50:45  <frosch123> there is an advanced setting to build in pause mode
20:51:13  <Tuhin> ......grrrr why this way by default?
20:51:20  <Tuhin> it wasn't this way before
20:51:27  <Pinkbeast> It used to be a cheat option.
20:51:31  <Tuhin> it makes building harder
20:51:35  <frosch123> true, in the past you could not play at all in pause :p
20:51:58  <Tuhin> i could have built roads, rails iirc
20:56:59  <Tuhin> there should be a community pack with all popular addons builtin
20:57:33  <Tuhin> i m playing after years and have no clue abt all these mods/addons
20:58:20  <planetmaker> the basic game is still the same. Just start slowly with NewGRFs and game scripts
20:58:28  <planetmaker> then you'll also find out which you like
20:58:34  <Pinkbeast> Who's to say what "the most popular" rail / industry / RV / etc. set is?
20:58:48  <Rubidium> OpenGFX is
20:59:32  <Pinkbeast> Err well, "installed by default" is perhaps stretching the idea of "popular"
21:00:24  <Tuhin> rotating airports should ship by default....
21:00:36  <Eddi|zuHause> isn't that exactly what makes things "popular"?
21:00:54  <Tuhin> this addon is just natural....
21:01:05  <frosch123> Tuhin: 70% of players will say that airtransport is crap
21:01:10  <Eddi|zuHause> i mean: is windows popular because it's installed by default, or is windows installed by default because it's popular?
21:01:11  <frosch123> and noone needs airports
21:01:15  <frosch123> nor rotating ones
21:01:46  <Tuhin> what's the starting rule with train tracks then?
21:02:24  <Tuhin> i m playing plane only coz building rail tracks= many mistakes
21:02:47  <Pikka> hmm
21:02:50  <frosch123> no idea, i have played too long
21:02:51  <Taede> mistakes are opportunities for learning
21:02:58  <Tuhin> Linux is way better than Windows, but Windows is more popular coz most ppl can use windoz
21:02:59  <Pikka> how about extraextrazoomlevels? :D
21:03:01  <frosch123> i wouldn't be able to explain how to talk either
21:03:50  <Tuhin> do u guys lay single , double or quad rail tracks?
21:04:13  <frosch123> Pikka: don't look into the windows of the houses
21:04:31  <frosch123> Tuhin: you build exactly those rails which are needed for the amount of trains
21:04:33  <Pikka> frosch123, I want to see the spots on the engineer's nose.
21:04:37  <Tuhin> maybe railtracks criss crossign the map and connecting evthing to that
21:04:38  <frosch123> if you have only one train, you only need one track
21:04:38  <andythenorth> Pikka: how about voxels?
21:04:52  <frosch123> if you have 2 you need one track with a small sections of two tracks every now and then
21:05:04  <frosch123> if you have 1000 trains you need 10 tracks
21:05:17  <Pikka> frosch123, haven't you seen how the pros play TTD?
21:05:22  * andythenorth always uses one train per track
21:05:23  <andythenorth> that's pro
21:05:32  <Pikka> you need to join every city on the map with quad tracks before you even think about building a train
21:05:34  <Tuhin> yes in old games i played i had many many many trains... i used to play with trains only....
21:05:37  <frosch123> Pikka: douchebags build 64 tracks and run 2 trains on them
21:06:18  <Tuhin> ok, so why experts thinks Airplanes are bad
21:06:30  <frosch123> Tuhin: generally you should have about 50% of all tracks covered in trains all of the time
21:06:39  <Tuhin> i wanted to play different after years of gap and wanted to ignore railtracks building
21:06:54  <frosch123> Tuhin: you can play one game with aircrafts just fine
21:07:02  <frosch123> but it has no replay value
21:07:12  <frosch123> there are no choices, it's like children monopoly
21:07:25  <frosch123> roll dice, forced buy or pay
21:07:30  <Tuhin> i will play to compete with the AIs
21:07:35  <Tuhin> i enabled 14 AIs
21:07:52  <Tuhin> 1024X 1024 map
21:08:22  <frosch123> better play on 256x256 with 4 ais
21:08:37  <frosch123> your computer won't handle 1024x1024 with 14 ais after half an hour
21:08:52  <frosch123> any you will never see them anyway, since they build on the opposite site of the map
21:08:53  <Tuhin> i have quad core PhenomII
21:09:14  <frosch123> yeah, but you would need 256 core thorion
21:09:36  <Tuhin> hmmm so TTD isn't multicore optimised yet?
21:10:10  <frosch123> does not matter on that scale
21:10:22  <Pinkbeast> Pretty sure I've played games that big and I don't have a tremendously studly machine.
21:10:28  <Tuhin> 256/256 seems too small :|
21:10:39  <frosch123> you can easily outgrow any computational power by making a game bigger
21:10:47  <frosch123> Tuhin: that's why it hard
21:10:53  <frosch123> you only compete in limited space
21:10:59  <Tuhin> ok
21:11:09  <Tuhin> how about 256/256 with 14 AI
21:11:09  <glx> 256² is not that small
21:11:48  <frosch123> Tuhin: generally, extreme values (low or high) are always bad
21:11:49  <Tuhin> I am from Civ3 and "Supreme Commander : Forged alliance"
21:11:53  <frosch123> in about all situations of life
21:12:07  <glx> 128x512 or 512x128 can be nice too
21:12:08  <Tuhin> ok new game will be 256
21:12:11  <Pinkbeast> With the default vehicle numbers per company, though, most of that map will go untouched.
21:12:34  <Eddi|zuHause> <Tuhin> Linux is way better than Windows, but Windows is more popular coz most ppl can use windoz <-- postulate: most people that use windows don't actually know how to use windows
21:13:16  <Tuhin> Eddi|zuHause, yes its true... its just more can do things they get chance to learn.. in windoz
21:13:36  <Eddi|zuHause> but that was not the actual question
21:13:44  <Tuhin> whats the default vehicle numbers
21:13:59  <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: the only true knowledge there is, is knowing what you don't know
21:14:12  <Pinkbeast>  A few hundred per company. Conversely, with a lot of AIs on a small map, you can forget about using RVs. :-/
21:14:35  <frosch123> you can increase limits later in game
21:14:37  <Tuhin> RV = ??
21:14:40  <frosch123> nothing to worry abuot at start
21:14:41  <Pinkbeast> Road Vehicle
21:14:54  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: that just produces an infinite number of knowledge levels
21:15:21  <andythenorth> when are RVs being removed?
21:15:23  <Eddi|zuHause> and hopefully a countable one :)
21:15:31  <Tuhin> hmm i have to disabe road vehicles then
21:16:06  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: when you delete the game
21:16:10  <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: i am sure it is equivalent to the axiom of choice
21:16:21  <andythenorth> everybody hates RVs
21:16:27  <andythenorth> they should be reimplemented as trains
21:16:58  <fjb> Roads should be reimplemented.
21:17:05  <frosch123> yeah, rv should be able to drive into ferries, which are then loaded onto trains
21:17:23  * fjb votes for it.
21:17:23  <Tuhin> and then into cargo planes
21:17:29  <andythenorth> trains should be able to fly

21:18:27  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: no, it's more than that, because if you include the axiom of choice in your model, then you went up one stage of "knowledgeness", but there is still things that you cannot prove or disprove (and thus cannot know)

21:32:50  <Eddi|zuHause> well, basically the axiom of choice is the "god" of mathematics

21:38:16  <planetmaker> dunno, might be :)

21:42:52  <Tuhin> openGFX eats more ram?
21:43:34  <planetmaker> no
21:43:45  <Eddi|zuHause> you use more RAM if you use a 32bpp NewGRF or baseset
21:43:57  <Tuhin> ok
21:44:06  <Eddi|zuHause> OpenGFX is 8bpp
21:44:13  <frosch123> or scripts, or buggy ottd :p
21:44:19  <Tuhin> i downloaded all OpenGFX
21:45:54  <Tuhin> which year should i start? 1900 or 1800?
21:46:32  <Eddi|zuHause> don't start in 1800
21:46:38  <Tuhin> ok
21:46:50  <Tuhin> when airplanes appears? 1905?
21:46:52  <Pinkbeast> Certainly not if you plan an aircraft game. :-/
21:47:09  <Eddi|zuHause> depends on your NewGRF set
21:47:11  <Tuhin> i decided to play rails too
21:47:29  <Tuhin> i downoaded what i was suggested above
21:47:30  <Eddi|zuHause> there may be zeppelins early on if you use AV8
21:47:39  <Tuhin> i got AV*
21:47:39  <Pinkbeast> Well, rails in any set don't start until about 1830 for obvious reasons, and I think it's much later in OpenGFX rails
21:47:59  <skyem123> 1945
21:48:02  <Eddi|zuHause> just start a game, look into the vehicle selection, and decide if that's enough to get started
21:48:11  <Tuhin> 1950
21:48:16  <skyem123> Only one steam engine is in 1945.
21:48:37  <Eddi|zuHause> NewGRFs don't only have to be downloaded, they also have to be set up
21:49:29  <Tuhin> hmm
21:49:34  <Tuhin> i see nothing new...
21:50:03  <Eddi|zuHause> go to NewGRF settings, and look if you actually activated stuff
21:50:45  <Eddi|zuHause> the default start year is 1950, there it's pretty certain that you have vehicles. most NewGRFs start around 1920, only few start earlier
21:51:04  <Tuhin> i dont see any newGRF stuff ... in NewGRF settings
21:51:16  <Tuhin> I m using Portable OpenTTD
21:51:16  <Eddi|zuHause> then go back to the main menu, and add some there
21:51:58  <Eddi|zuHause> it should give you a list of stuff you activated, and a list of stuff you downloaded, move stuff from the downloaded list to the activated list
21:52:35  <Tuhin> OpenGFX Trains and NUTS works together?
21:52:49  <Eddi|zuHause> not really
21:53:10  <Eddi|zuHause> you should only use one GRF of each kind (trains, planes, industries, ...)
21:53:21  <Eddi|zuHause> only stations and objects you can reasonably combine
21:53:36  <Pinkbeast> Cough murmur I usually combine ukrs2 and 2cc trains :-)
21:55:10  <frosch123> you can combine vehicle sets if they focus on different things, like pax vs. cargo
21:55:14  <frosch123> or rv vs. tram

21:57:53  <Pikka> especially with cargodist, trying to look at the links, can't see bugger all. It's too tiny.
21:57:55  <Eddi|zuHause> you should probably leave out base costs mod
21:57:55  <Tuhin> so any conflicts in my selection^
21:58:16  <frosch123> basecost mod is pointless unless you set parameters
21:58:18  <Tuhin> i want to see cost of airports, depots etc
21:58:29  <frosch123> that's not what it does :p
21:58:35  <Tuhin> then?
21:58:45  <frosch123> it allows changing price factors
21:58:49  <Eddi|zuHause> it allows to double or halve prices
21:58:50  <frosch123> making stuff cheaper or more expensive
21:58:52  <Tuhin> removed
21:59:11  <Tuhin> did i miss to add anything?
21:59:17  <frosch123> you may want to check the parameters of ogfx+industries
21:59:23  <frosch123> just to know what options are available
21:59:30  <frosch123> not neccessarily changing them though
21:59:48  <planetmaker> Tuhin, whether you need BigGUI is questionable. Trees... dunno ,maybe :)
22:00:07  <Eddi|zuHause> is there no OpenGFX+Houses?
22:00:15  <frosch123> and you need to enable the town names actually a second time via game options :p

22:08:17  <frosch123> undefined
22:08:54  <frosch123> i am no competitive player
22:08:59  <Tuhin> i got - AdmiralAI, Chopper, CluelessPlus, DictatorAI, EpicTrans,NoCAB, PAXLink,Rythorn AirlineAI, SimpleAI,SynTrans,TerronAI,TeshiNet, TransAI
22:09:13  <Tuhin> WormAI,WrightAI
22:09:16  <frosch123> and i am not interested in pax transport, nor city building
22:09:28  <frosch123> so, all 3 of them are pretty damn uninteresting to me
22:09:40  <Andreas> well then maybe you should not discourage people from trying mp servers by saying that only 2% are good...
22:09:50  <Andreas> a lot of people do like them
22:10:05  <frosch123> i didn't say that, those 3 belong to the 2%
22:10:15  <Eddi|zuHause> Tuhin: there's a (probably outdated) "comparison of AIs" page on the wiki
22:10:36  <Tuhin> Eddi|zuHause, yes i downoaded ais seeing that comparison
22:10:38  <Eddi|zuHause> Tuhin: but i don't think it really matters
22:11:02  <frosch123> but ok, maybe 2% was too low, could be 10% :p
22:11:17  <Tuhin> which GameScripts r good
22:11:26  <frosch123> only 50% of servers are empty currently
22:11:35  <Tuhin> i want the cities grow without shipping them goods....

22:42:04  <Tuhin> av8 killed my fun

22:43:15  <Tuhin> do i get 10 times the revenue/profit from planes?
22:43:23  <Eddi|zuHause> probably not
22:43:38  <Tuhin> then why price is increased
22:43:47  <Tuhin> its unbalanced
22:43:57  <Eddi|zuHause> to make planes less of a money printing machine
22:44:24  <Eddi|zuHause> also there are smaller/cheaper planes and bigger/more expensive planes

22:46:18  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, and how much does a train with one engine and one wagon cost?
22:46:42  <Eddi|zuHause> and how much do you have to pay for rails?
22:46:48  <Eddi|zuHause> and what is "balanced" now?
22:47:19  <Eddi|zuHause> also: AV8 assumes you play with increased plane speed, so the planes are 4 times faster than in the original game
22:47:55  <Eddi|zuHause> (in the original game, a plane at 800km/h moved as fast as a train at 200km/h)
22:48:29  <Eddi|zuHause> thus you actually do earn more

22:50:34  <frosch123> i guess it is meant to add more variety
22:50:49  <Tuhin> i  will disable that rail realism
22:51:04  <frosch123> if capacity is the only criterion for an aircraft, you have only one choice to build
