11:24:49  <__ln___> offtopic: can this be correct: "Zugangsgruppen Anzahl"  (original text "Access group count")?
11:25:12  <Eddi|zuHause> needs more context
11:25:30  <Eddi|zuHause> at least the grammar is totally off
11:26:00  <Eddi|zuHause> and it's ambiguous whether you count the groups or the members of the group
11:28:27  <Eddi|zuHause> in other topics: why does the wahl-o-mat always tell me things i already know?
11:28:33  <__ln___> the meaning of the english one is "the number of access groups"
11:30:42  <Eddi|zuHause> then i'd suggest "Anzahl {der|an} Zugangsgruppen"
11:31:43  <__ln___> yeah, reversing the word order is what i would have thought
11:32:17  *** yorick [~yorick@ip51cd0513.speed.planet.nl] has joined #openttd
11:33:30  <__ln___> thanks
11:34:41  <Eddi|zuHause> other alternative is "Zugangsgruppenanzahl" or possibly "Zugangsgruppen-Anzahl" but that keeps the disambiguity

15:33:10  <rubenwardy> Is it possible to space trains out equally in 1.4? Like if there are two trains on a track, they should be half the length of the track away from each other, not one behind enougher.
15:35:25  <planetmaker> yes
15:35:30  <peter1139> timetabling!
15:35:53  <Pinkbeast> Autoseparation, on the other hand, is still doom.

15:54:43  <rubenwardy> Are there any leaderboards for # of trains, # of road vechiles, etc? Size of company?
15:57:51  <Alberth> it's pretty much meaningless, I think; you can just buy max #vehicles and never use them, for example
15:59:27  <Alberth> also, how do you measure size of a company?
15:59:36  <Pinkbeast> Capital value?
15:59:59  <planetmaker> yeah. Depends on the time you spent playing, on the NewGRFs, on the settings, on the start time...
16:00:03  <Pinkbeast> Oh, no, I see what you're asking.
16:00:37  <Alberth> buy max #aircraft, and fly from one end to the other, and wait long enough for the amount of needed money?
16:00:59  <planetmaker> sounds like a good money-making plan ^
16:01:15  <rubenwardy> number of vechiles that make over £100 of profit?
16:01:28  <Alberth> there are people that play it competitively
16:01:30  <Pinkbeast> % of total cargo generated moved by this company might be a slightly more meaningful metric
16:01:41  <Alberth> usually at a server in MP
16:02:07  <Pinkbeast> Profit over L100 - deliberately overstock a route so each vehicle _just_ exceeds running costs. Quite an artificial behaviour. :-)
16:02:08  <planetmaker> rubenwardy, and then it depends heavily on the map size, too.
16:02:25  <Alberth> Pinkbeast: make an industry set that allows 1 industry at 100% station rate, done
16:02:29  <planetmaker> easy on a 4k ^2 map. Terribly difficult on a 64^2 map
16:02:37  <planetmaker> Alberth, like FIRS?
16:02:52  <Alberth> no 1 industry, not 1 industry type :)
16:03:13  <planetmaker> :)
16:03:18  <Alberth> s/no /no, /
16:03:21  <planetmaker> not sure that's possible. But maybe
16:03:40  <Pinkbeast> Alberth: Aha, you're thinking of an "all games" leaderboard, I'm thinking of meaningful comparisons between companies in the same game. My mistake.
16:04:20  <planetmaker> Pinkbeast, I also understood "all-time leaderboard". Ingame, of course. It exists. And GS can define their own
16:04:24  <Alberth> Pinkbeast: then it's more difficult to win :)
16:04:51  <planetmaker> some communities around certain servers all have their own leaderboards.
16:05:07  <planetmaker> They probably are somewhat comparable as they then compare basically games with the same settings
16:06:23  <planetmaker> I should thank andy for the links to the pre-configured windows VMs. Makes live very easy
16:07:07  <Alberth> it could be fun to set up a game, and let people play for a number of years, and then have them post the results, so you can compare them
16:07:19  <Alberth> planetmaker:  :o useful :)
16:07:27  <planetmaker> that actually is fun, Alberth :)
16:07:46  <planetmaker> "we" once did that as a competition... many good results we got for the challenge created
16:09:15  <planetmaker> the VMs are all a windows evaluation license - but who cares for test VMs which you can reset infinitely often to any savepoint you can make? :)
16:09:53  <peter1139> Heh
16:09:58  <planetmaker> they actually advise to do that

18:24:02  <LordAro> nasty openrct2
18:24:13  <LordAro> reverse engineering the binary
18:24:14  <frosch123> you got compettion?
18:24:22  <LordAro> yeah :L
18:24:57  <andythenorth> compile faster
18:25:01  * andythenorth drums fingers
18:25:08  <andythenorth> I need a faster one
18:25:28  <andythenorth> ha ha @ frosch123
18:25:37  <andythenorth> finally the advanced settings are getting good :)
18:25:50  <frosch123> why?
18:26:01  <andythenorth> just because it’s such an improvement :)
18:26:17  <andythenorth> should I draw us some not-quite-very-good icons for each section?
18:26:33  <andythenorth> then we could do one of those big icon-driven preference panels
18:27:15  <andythenorth> I haven’t compiled for a while, so some of this might not be new
18:27:53  <planetmaker> o/ andythenorth :)
18:28:08  <planetmaker> thanks again for the hint to the pre-fab VMs
18:28:12  <andythenorth> np
18:28:23  <andythenorth> MS doing something really useful for once
18:30:55  <planetmaker> andythenorth, what we (IMHO) need is an idea how to better streamline the workflow for new map generation
18:31:02  <andythenorth> we had some before
18:31:04  <andythenorth> there were pictures
18:31:10  <planetmaker> so that I don't have to click every frigging button in the main menu. yeah...
18:31:19  *** Markk [mark@h30n15-nt-a11.ias.bredband.telia.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
18:31:29  <planetmaker> but none of that was really satisfactory so far. afair
18:31:58  * andythenorth looks
18:32:09  <planetmaker> we had there a tab-like thingy
18:32:22  <planetmaker> but we stopped when it came to integration of newgrfs + settings
18:32:45  <planetmaker> just opening those as sub-windows might work though. Even when it doesn't look genious
18:32:59  <frosch123> well, back then there were 5 settings windows, with a bit of luck we can get to 3 :)
18:33:07  <planetmaker> :)
18:33:08  * andythenorth looks
18:33:39  <planetmaker> I can give you a bookmark: /home/planetmaker/brain/memory/feeble/newgui :P
18:34:34  <andythenorth> here’s what I had https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/6135/gui.zip
18:35:00  <andythenorth> there was some world gen stuff somewhere too
18:35:06  <frosch123> planetmaker: there are screenshots on the wiki
18:35:20  <andythenorth> linky?
18:36:01  <frosch123> https://wiki.openttd.org/GUI_re-arrangement#Map_settings
18:36:10  <andythenorth> oh yeah that
18:36:11  <andythenorth> it’s ugly
18:36:16  <andythenorth> but design is iterative
18:36:19  <frosch123> and deprecated :p
18:36:23  <andythenorth> tweak a bit, tweak a bit more
18:36:26  <planetmaker> :)
18:36:36  <frosch123> it puts "original"/"tgp" toplevel, while it is no rather getting hidden :p
18:36:48  <andythenorth> yup
18:37:13  <andythenorth> I would draw stuff, but right now my evening contains http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/deform/en/latest/retail.html#a-basic-example
18:37:28  <andythenorth> and maybe https://www.flickr.com/photos/andythenorth/14024375307/in/set-72157644311005000
18:37:31  <frosch123> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5147 <- that one did a better job at merging heightmap/mapgen/flat map
18:37:42  <planetmaker> looks like disgusting work
18:38:02  <andythenorth> there is some rework idea in the forums somewhere, but I thought it was ‘meh'
18:38:43  <frosch123> well, removing elements from the windows may make redesigning easier :p
18:38:47  <andythenorth> always
18:38:51  <andythenorth> removing is best
18:38:54  <frosch123> many popular software has done that for touchscreens
18:39:00  <andythenorth> but first you have to have too much
18:39:05  <andythenorth> otherwise it’s not clear what to remove
18:40:04  <planetmaker> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5147/getfile/8429/wg_nl.png hm
18:40:08  <planetmaker> even includes place names
18:40:19  <andythenorth> lacks flow
18:40:28  <andythenorth> overwhelming number of options for a single form
18:41:10  <planetmaker> http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5147/getfile/8428/wg_en.png <-- better in English :P
18:41:16  <frosch123> maybe we should only have the advanced settings window
18:41:24  <planetmaker> well, some can now just go to adv. only
18:41:26  <frosch123> and then drag&drop support to design your own windows :p
18:41:29  <andythenorth> frosch123: worth considering :P
18:41:34  <andythenorth> seriously
18:41:41  <frosch123> "new settings window" -> "drop settings"
18:41:53  <andythenorth> let’s see
18:42:24  <andythenorth> choice of which generator is bollocks, not needed
18:42:36  <planetmaker> Though I think the flow is visible in that window.
18:42:46  <andythenorth> variety distribution is nonsense, it apparently doesn’t do what it says - iirc what peter1139 thought about it :P
18:42:48  <planetmaker> We can also cut away on the edges (freeform default)
18:42:53  <andythenorth> planetmaker: I am being over-harsh :)
18:43:14  <andythenorth> easier to kick gui design hard than regret after the implementation work
18:43:17  <frosch123> freeform edges are one of the hardest to add to adv. settings window :p
18:43:25  <planetmaker> :D
18:43:53  <andythenorth> tree algo should not be a map gen choice
18:44:01  <planetmaker> size, terrain type, smoothness, sea, rivers, towns, trees, industries, town names, snow line
18:44:10  <planetmaker> and date and climate
18:44:19  <frosch123> andythenorth: current plan is to add a "advanced button" to the mapgen window, and then open the normal adv. settings window
18:44:26  <andythenorth> is smoothness much of an anything?
18:44:30  <frosch123> i.e. no different mapgen windows with few or many settings
18:44:37  <andythenorth> frosch123: that is a good plan
18:44:41  <planetmaker> and adv. settings, newgrfs, scripts buttons
18:44:50  <andythenorth> or a linked terrain parameters (modal) window
18:45:10  <frosch123> andythenorth: i would like to have all settings that actually affect the map shape to be in that window, since then you can properly add a preview at some point
18:45:11  <andythenorth> advanced settings can open over the world gen?
18:45:13  <planetmaker> actually, yes. Just climate might suffice
18:45:41  <andythenorth> here’s _my_ problem with terrain stuff
18:45:50  <andythenorth> (1) I know we’ll get player complaints if we remove stuff, but meh
18:46:05  <frosch123> you will also get complaints from me :p
18:46:16  <andythenorth> (2) I’ve spent ages dicking around with controls and new map, seeing if I can control the map meaningfully.  I can't
18:46:21  <frosch123> the weirdest mapgen settings are imho the most interesting ones
18:46:25  <andythenorth> it’s all just fiddly controls on a black box
18:46:39  <andythenorth> you can’t actually make a decent desert or alpine terrain
18:46:44  <frosch123> yes, that's why we need a preview of height and water
18:46:56  <frosch123> directly in the window
18:47:08  <andythenorth> it’s like people who twiddle EQ knobs on audio equipment, with no idea of what it does
18:47:35  <frosch123> rivers+trees+roadside and such can go to advanced though
18:47:41  * andythenorth explored terragenesis once
18:47:55  <andythenorth> I wanted to try and get sub-types of climate
18:48:32  <andythenorth> so alpine mountains, tundra, fjords, prairies, rainforest, desert, etc
18:48:50  <andythenorth> islands, rolling hills
18:48:52  <andythenorth> etc
18:49:13  <planetmaker> that requires touching actual map bits
18:49:42  <planetmaker> we should not start that yet here at this stage. It's not bike shedding. But the reverse of it ;)
18:50:16  <planetmaker> designing the nuclear heating for the bike shed :P
18:50:22  <andythenorth> ha ha
18:50:33  <frosch123> andythenorth: at least there is now a description in adv. settings what smoothness and variety dist actually do :p
18:51:27  <frosch123> unless stuff to read is a bad feature
