01:48:28  <Supercheese> Ugh, I need to go back and add accusatives to all cargoes
01:48:34  <Supercheese> :(
01:52:27  <Supercheese> Why didn't I do that in the first place...
01:53:11  <Eddi|zuHause> what the hell do you need those for?
01:53:40  <Supercheese> In a few places
01:53:53  <Supercheese> especially "no longer accepts {CARGO}"
01:54:21  <Supercheese> I could flip to passive
01:54:21  <Supercheese> {CARGO} is no longer accepted
01:54:21  <Supercheese> but then I'd need ablative on the station name...

02:04:05  <Eddi|zuHause> so if a {STRING} were to insert an adjective instead of a noun, german would need cases
02:05:14  <Supercheese> if German nouns don't need to change based on case, then yeah they're not required
02:05:41  <Eddi|zuHause> at least i can't quickly find a noun that changes on case
02:05:57  <Supercheese> but I seem to need at least genitive accusative and dative on cargoes for Latin...
02:06:23  <Supercheese> since station names do not have cases available
02:06:40  <Supercheese> and thus should stay nominative if at all possible
02:07:26  <Eddi|zuHause> i think the welsh translation wanted cases for town names, which was pretty much impossible to fulfill
02:07:38  <Supercheese> yeah I would love to have cases for town names for Latin
02:07:47  <Supercheese> it's very difficult without at least the locative

02:16:27  <Eddi|zuHause> a place where german would need cases is, if the game were to assemble a string like "{no|one|many} X"
02:17:04  <Eddi|zuHause> but all current occurances of no/one/many are fixed, not dynamic

14:26:17  <planetmaker> peter1138: a button like 'update preset' would be nice. Instead of automatic updates.
14:29:57  <V453000> that would be amazing

15:23:46  <krinn> o/
15:24:05  <krinn> I have "tried" add eints support, but ^^ where can i see the result?
15:28:48  <krinn> ok found url, but what are invalid ? -> https://translator.openttdcoop.org/project/gs-awards
15:33:54  <Eddi|zuHause> "invalid" means it doesn't understand the string parameters
15:34:12  <krinn> and i don't understand that :)
15:34:50  <krinn> is there a way to "see" what is causing problem ?
15:36:41  <Eddi|zuHause> (Invalid) STR_INFO_0 : With {NUM} vehicle{P "" s} <-- did you declare the plural type? is {P} after the parameter correct or do you need to specify {P:0}?
15:37:41  <krinn> in no lang file i declare the plural form, it just works in openttd as-is
15:39:39  <krinn> and look at it in french.TXT : STR_INFO_0		: Avec {NUM} véhicule{P "" s}
15:39:51  <krinn> and it doesn't complain for anything in french.txt
15:41:09  <krinn> That's planetmaker's fault ! he suggest me to use eints, forgetting i'm a kick ass bug finder !
15:41:15  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, it works in openttd, but eints may be a tick stricter
15:41:42  <krinn> it should complain for the same reason in french.txt if it was that strict no ?
15:42:23  <Eddi|zuHause> i have no idea, i'm just guessing things
15:43:05  <krinn> reject ones cannot be edit by users ?

19:25:25  <NGC3982> Silly?
19:25:29  <NGC3982> Boulderdash!
19:25:40  <Pikka> with default industries, at least
19:26:01  <Pikka> two cargos which go from the same industry to the same industry
19:26:07  <Pikka> at least one of them is redundant ;)
19:26:42  <Eddi|zuHause> remove farms from the game. "realistic" food comes out of the supermarket anyway

19:35:49  <planetmaker> I really wonder why people keep finding cyclotrons useful
19:36:17  <planetmaker> you also should learn about auto-completion of signals, rubenwardy ;)
19:36:36  <rubenwardy> The drag thing?
19:36:53  <rubenwardy> I use it normally. Don't know why i didn't then

19:39:07  <planetmaker> rubenwardy, imho it also misses any explanation as of what a cyclotron is and why one would want to build one in the first place
19:39:17  <planetmaker> and then why one shouldn't build one at all ever
19:39:31  <planetmaker> (it jams and can f*** your whole network)
19:40:04  <frosch123> maybe cyclotrons try to mimik aircraft holding pattern
19:40:26  <frosch123> for those who don't like airports :p
19:40:42  <planetmaker> somewhat they do... but without the height levels :)
19:41:29  <frosch123> maybe trains get robbed when they stop

19:43:39  <planetmaker> proper pre-signaling can also ensure that trains from a side line will join the main line at full speed - even if they waited in stand-still on the side line for a proper gap in ML trains
19:43:52  <planetmaker> it's fiddly. But possible
19:44:15  <rubenwardy> cyclotrons are more of a gimic for me. I don't use them in serious games
19:47:30  <Kjetil_> hm. I guess the runnings cost for a train should be different if it actually moving
19:47:54  <Eddi|zuHause> you can do that
19:48:13  <Eddi|zuHause> but it has hardly any influence in the big picture
19:49:17  <planetmaker> Kjetil_, a number of NewGRFs do so. But as Eddi said: makes no difference really
19:52:55  <V453000> is there a way to have a wagon which would define length (and articulation) based on leading engine? E.g. have one master wagon which would look as two articulated 4/8 with train A, and as one intact 8/8 with train B
19:53:00  <V453000> I guess that isnt possible right
19:53:06  <Kjetil_> then the cost difference isn't large enough :P
19:53:27  <Pikka> length, yes, articulation, no
19:54:24  <frosch123> V453000: number of articulated parts is fixed upon purchase
19:54:36  <frosch123> heqs does invisible articulatred part to shorten stuff
19:54:36  <V453000> I thought so
19:55:03  <V453000> well utterly theoretical is to have 3/8, 2/8 and 3/8 articulated and use sprites accordingly
19:55:12  <V453000> but that is functionaly w.e.i.r.d
19:55:29  <V453000> my aim is to have one ultimate wagon which could connect to any train but the articulated thing is making it quite tough :D
19:55:40  <V453000> I guess the 3+2+3 would look strange in curves etc
19:57:15  <frosch123> cets does that stuff
19:57:24  <frosch123> i guess a lot sets actually do
19:57:32  <frosch123> more articulated parts than visible
19:58:04  *** alluke [~oftc-webi@cs78237230.pp.htv.fi] has joined #openttd
19:58:14  <frosch123> a 3+2+3+ vehicle does not look any different to a 8/8 one, if only the middle part has a sprite
19:58:40  <frosch123> you only need to be careful with dragging in depot
19:58:58  <frosch123> which does not completely support articulated vehicles yet
19:59:06  <frosch123> it only draws the first part at the mouse cursor
19:59:20  <frosch123> but ofc, you can also make a patch for ottd for that :p
19:59:53  <V453000> exactly, I am worried about the depot part
20:00:22  <V453000> 3+2+3 could easily handle my requirements visually ... not sure about the 2x4/8 but definitely the 8/8
20:01:30  <frosch123> well, there is var 10 to distinguish depot/vehicle list from map
20:01:37  <Pikka> 1+2+2+2+1, obviously. :)
20:01:45  <frosch123> so you can specify different sprites for the gui anyway
20:01:54  <V453000> OH
20:02:08  <V453000> so I could define depot sprites the way so that the first dragged vehicle is visible
20:02:16  <frosch123> yes
20:02:28  <frosch123> you can also put text on depot vehicles :p
20:02:30  <V453000> amazing
20:02:36  <V453000> yeah I do that already
20:03:10  <V453000> hm
20:03:26  <V453000> 1+2+2+2+1 sounds great too
20:03:54  <V453000> if edge 2s get the 4/8 it means in a long chain it is 2 gap, 2 wagon, 2 gap, ... which should look okay in curves
20:04:00  <frosch123> it affect curve speed limits ofc :p
20:04:07  <V453000> that is what I just thought of
20:04:10  <V453000> which will cause wtf :D
20:04:21  <planetmaker> why do the short wagons need articulation?
20:04:38  <V453000> planetmaker: to keep 8/8 total
20:04:45  <V453000> autoreplaceable
20:04:53  <V453000> +convenient upon purchase, less clicking
20:05:23  <planetmaker> wouldn't then articulation in units of the shortest wagon make sense?
20:05:29  <planetmaker> which is... 4/8?
20:05:34  <planetmaker> or is it 2/8?
20:05:38  <V453000> 4/8
20:05:49  <planetmaker> so 2-vehicle articulation to get 8/8
20:05:52  <V453000> but I want an ultimate wagon which can look like 8/8 and 4/á at the same time
20:05:55  <V453000> yes that is done currently
20:06:06  <V453000> so for 8/8 I need a center part for sprites
20:06:17  <V453000> and for 4/8 I need two in the middle-ish
20:06:24  <V453000> 1+2+2+2+1 fits that perfectly
20:07:21  <planetmaker> look like 8/8 and what at the same time?
20:07:40  <V453000> like 8/8 with engine A
20:07:48  <V453000> like 2x4/8 with engine B

20:11:12  <planetmaker> hi andythenorth :)
20:11:23  <planetmaker> you've stumbled into an invisible discussion :P

21:47:14  <DorpsGek> -Add [FS#5953]: Load button for heightmap list
21:48:51  <planetmaker> davidstrauss, afaik that setting is active by default. So it would not need adjustment
21:49:18  <frosch123> i am quite sure it isn't :)
21:49:23  <Eddi|zuHause> davidstrauss: do you have a suggestion how that would be better available?
21:49:43  <Eddi|zuHause> i would be surprised if that is on by default
21:50:35  <planetmaker> ok :)
21:50:41  <planetmaker> why actually isn't it?
21:51:07  <planetmaker> if breakdowns are on, autoreplace with reasonable money safety margin probably should be on :)
21:51:14  <planetmaker> err... autorenew
21:51:22  <davidstrauss> Eddi|zuHause: It would work fine for me if the same technology were available in "replace vehicles."
21:51:44  <davidstrauss> Eddi|zuHause: The tool already allows you to configure replacement purchases if the technology is different.
21:52:09  <planetmaker> I guess that makes sense
21:52:23  <davidstrauss> Obviously, it wouldn't make sense to allow using the "replace all" option with the same tech, but "replace old" would be useful with the same tech.
21:53:07  <Eddi|zuHause> there was an ancient topic about combining both features, so you could do "replace this vehicle to that vehicle when old"
21:53:23  <frosch123> that went into trunk :p
21:53:41  <frosch123> anyway, we could convert the current setting into a default setting for the autoreplace dialog
21:53:50  <Eddi|zuHause> i haven't played for several years, i might have missed some features :p
21:54:06  <frosch123> i.e. new engines either default to "no replacement" or "replace with same when old"
21:54:26  <frosch123> similar as for the non-stop setting and such
21:55:02  <frosch123> that way people do not need to know about the setting, and can click all engines in every game one by one :p
21:55:11  <planetmaker> :)
21:55:17  <planetmaker> 25% would
21:55:23  <davidstrauss> Would be helpful, too, if there were a clear way to get to the "replace vehicles" dialog from the old vehicle warning.
21:55:40  <planetmaker> that's more difficult, I think :)
21:56:11  <frosch123> yeah, we have no clippy :)

22:23:17  <planetmaker> yes, I would not like my servers being confiscated on grounds of propagating or showing nazi symbols
22:23:45  <alluke> real trouble?
22:23:46  <planetmaker> And I guess no-one would want that here. It would hurt many people ;)
22:23:48  <planetmaker> real trouble
22:23:58  <planetmaker> like police shutting down and I getting sued
22:24:13  <alluke> do you live in north korea?
22:24:13  *** sla_ro|master [slamaster@95.76.164.39] has quit []
22:24:27  <planetmaker> I live in Germany. And nazi symbols are illegal here
22:24:31  <Eddi|zuHause> you could try to argue it's for historic/educational/artistic content
22:24:39  <alluke> hah
22:24:46  <planetmaker> yes, that would be my defence. But... not worth the trouble
22:25:04  <alluke> funny since more people was killed in ussr
22:25:09  <Eddi|zuHause> because technically, they're only illegal if you use them to identify yourself with such groups
22:25:13  * andythenorth -> bed
22:25:19  <planetmaker> g'night andythenorth
22:25:19  <alluke> double moralism fuck yeah
22:25:21  <andythenorth> before inevitable Godwin
22:25:25  <planetmaker> :)
22:25:35  <andythenorth> sometimes you can smell one in the air
22:25:54  <planetmaker> I'm sure it already slammed-down hard
22:26:00  <Eddi|zuHause> there was a big legal battle a few years ago over an icon where someone threw a swastika into a garbage bin

22:26:46  <planetmaker> yeah. Anti-fashists sold those. And iirc they got sued and only won in the 2nd revision or so
22:27:10  <alluke> antifas are total clowns

22:28:12  <planetmaker> I prefer clowns over murderers
22:28:49  <djura-san> Hi there. I was wondering what is the availability of diesel trains?
22:29:06  <Eddi|zuHause> depends on which NewGRFs you use
22:29:15  <alluke> depends on your train set(s) you're using and year
22:29:49  <Eddi|zuHause> oh, and climate
22:29:55  <djura-san> SO what is the lifespan of dieles trains?
22:30:02  <djura-san> blah, bad keyboard
22:30:13  <planetmaker> 1900 - ever. Quite variable
22:30:32  <djura-san> planetmaker: but will i be able to buy them in 2120?
22:30:52  <alluke> yes
22:31:00  <Eddi|zuHause> with the default set: no
22:31:06  <planetmaker> http://wiki.openttd.org/Train_Comparison
22:31:10  <Eddi|zuHause> unless you switch on "vehicles never expire"
22:31:24  <planetmaker> and what eddi said
22:31:43  <djura-san> but that is like cheating :\\\\\
22:31:54  <djura-san> dammit, my keyboard is off power, ignore it
22:32:16  <planetmaker> I don't consider that cheating
22:32:27  <planetmaker> It's also not recorded in the cheat menu ;)
22:32:28  <Eddi|zuHause> if it were cheating, it would be a cheat :)
22:32:31  <planetmaker> it's a valid setting
22:33:26  <djura-san> Okay then. SO i can set that up and just use it? With that option on i will be able to use diesel trains for their regular price (for that year) till the end of the time?
22:33:46  <planetmaker> inflation applies, if it's enabled
22:34:18  <djura-san> i believe it is, by default
22:34:32  <planetmaker> but with vehicles-never-expire, they're available till the end of OpenTTD time, yes
22:36:28  <djura-san> planetmaker: why i sid i   conider it cheating: i wiiiileave te pc on for the night and generate as much money as i can using current build. Since it is not 2050, i must wait to get to the last upgrades in all vehicles
22:37:09  <planetmaker> I would rather suggest to cheat money, if your real joy is building rather than waiting for income
22:37:34  <planetmaker> it would actually save you real money on electricity
22:37:50  <djura-san> but cheats are recorded forever :>
22:37:59  <planetmaker> so who cares?
22:38:04  <djura-san> true dat
22:38:04  <planetmaker> setting changes, too ;)
22:38:20  <alluke> oh yeaaaah
