05:51:35  <b_jonas> uh... in the "Available Trains" dialog box I open from the Trains list, how can I tell which rail type a train needs?
05:54:31  <b_jonas> wait what? there can be more than four rail types in a game?
05:57:31  <planetmaker> good morning. And welcome in 2010 ;)
05:59:36  <b_jonas> great! that means I can play with the default set of powerful steam, diesel and electric trains, the monorails and maglevs from this Monolev Replacement Set, and with this Vacuum Tube Train set, all in the same game!
05:59:45  <b_jonas> and even their dates line up nicely
05:59:58  <b_jonas> and they're all so powerful and fast
06:03:44  <b_jonas> hmm, but then I'll need to get a bridge set with fast enough bridges to handle these powerful vacuum trains
06:03:52  <b_jonas> do you have any suggestion?
06:03:53  <Supercheese> or just use tunnels
06:03:58  <Supercheese> no speed limits
06:04:48  <Supercheese> for crossing valleys/water, either just dive down/up the valley (vactrains will just laugh at the elevation changes) or raise land and build a causeway over the water
06:04:59  <Supercheese> for crossing tracks, use tunnels
06:05:44  <b_jonas> guess that's one possibility
06:06:29  <Supercheese> I know not of any bridgeset with high enough speeds for vactrains
06:06:42  <b_jonas> I've seen one but it's unrealistic
06:06:47  <b_jonas> it just adds one unlimited bridge

08:32:52  <b_jonas> planetmaker: no, the grf that just changes existing bridges to unlimited speed limit is unrealistic. but I've found another that only makes tubular bridges stronger so they have a speed limit of 4100, specifically for vacuum trains.
08:32:57  <Rubidium> why would trains in a vacuum laugh at elevation changes?
08:33:25  <b_jonas> planetmaker: actually, the strange thing about vacuum trains is that they should be fast, but they shouldn't have such a high acceleration I think
08:33:43  <Rubidium> currently the biggest problem of high speed trains is the air drag, not the elevation changes. So if the air drag is removed, then the elevation changes are becoming much more significant
08:33:43  <b_jonas> is there a vacuum train set where they don't have more acceleration than ordinary maglevs?

08:45:48  <planetmaker> no. and no

08:49:27  <b_jonas> I'll have to try to add a command for that, so I can make successive screenshots of a game to make an animation

10:34:58  <lugo> hi, is it possible for a vehicle to  - A) transfer a good to a station (no transfer order since cargodist is on) B) modify the cargo of said veh. resp. wagons and C) load the cargo it has been modified to - without having to leave the station/port etc.?
10:35:42  <lugo> i recently played the reddit client, and for some reason that behaviour was only possible with ships not trains..
10:38:18  <b_jonas> lugo: I thought you could only refit vehicles in a depot or dock, and it costs money each time, but maybe not

10:40:54  <andythenorth> you can refit at stations, if the newgrf allows it
10:41:07  <andythenorth> there are also some bugs with it

10:42:43  <b_jonas> that applies to which kinds of vehicles?
10:51:19  <planetmaker> lugo, yes, that's possible. But the NewGRF needs to allow that. OpenGFX+Trains for instance does. Pretty sure that goes also for NUTS and IronHorse, likely also Pineapple trains

11:20:49  <lugo> Yeah i was using UKRS, but somehow it didn't work out
11:22:42  <lugo> since it's not vanilla i guess it won't make to much sense to post a savegame?
11:24:06  <planetmaker> ukrs doesn't support that, vanilla neither
11:25:44  <planetmaker> the station refit callback which needs to be used is relatively new (~2 years?), thus old(er) NewGRFs don't support it. And not even all new ones do

11:39:49  <lugo> it's not vanilla + UKRS2 (and other NewGRFs) it's the reddit client +UKRS2 (and other NewGRFs), so posting a savegame won't make much sense still?!

13:02:59  <Pikka> UKRS2 allows station refitting, but not for all vehicles or all cargos
13:03:10  <Pikka> it's realism and BAD FEATURES gone mad.
13:04:19  <Pikka> "auto-refittable" in the buy menu text refers to station refitting.

17:01:25  <Alberth> I had two saw mills fed by wood. Connect them, and cargodist moves wood back and forth on that line
17:02:29  <Alberth> pretty much free money
17:03:40  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah. "realism" :p
17:03:41  <Alberth> maybe the distance was just right
17:04:34  <Alberth> yeah, game-play wise it would be better if wood would move only one direction :)
17:04:40  <Eddi|zuHause> the "demand" heuristic is very crude
17:05:20  <Eddi|zuHause> you would need a better economy simulation to solve this
17:07:37  <Alberth> it would be nice if it could handle things like subsidies and probably supplies
17:07:52  <Alberth> scripts like nocargoal are also affected probably
17:08:27  <Alberth> except you can sort-of get away with it by not extending your network to beyond the destination
17:09:20  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that is a fundamental shortcoming of cargodist. it does not automatically benefit you to extend your network to difficult-to-reach places
17:09:54  <Alberth> I had an idea to extend subsidies towards contracts, but with current cargo-dist that's going to be tricky
17:10:46  <Eddi|zuHause> i passenger subsidies could work more like exclusive transport rights within a city
17:11:20  <Pikka> <Alberth> Eddi|zuHause: btw, I realized there is an advantage to cargo-dist, it makes your cargo move further, increasing the profit <- you could just move all your cargo long-distance anyway before, cargodist adds nothing new to that.
17:11:56  <Pikka> eg, only connect each coal mine to a powerplant on the other side of the map
17:12:10  <Eddi|zuHause> so sort of like "the first one to build an inner-city bus network will benefit"
17:12:33  <Pikka> sounds like a job for gamescripts ;)
17:12:53  <Eddi|zuHause> but he also needs a minimum transported amount (per year) to extend this subsidy to the next year
17:12:57  <Alberth> Pikka: true, it's just not my style of playing
17:13:32  <Alberth> you'd need to have control over cargo dist from the game script, imho
17:14:03  <Alberth> maybe not full control, but some control would be useful
17:16:43  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, the game script could tweak some economy factors, or simulate an economy of its own

17:17:28  <Eddi|zuHause> the interface would be the "demand" function
17:17:59  <Alberth> sounds like a good idea
17:19:26  <Eddi|zuHause> which basically would be the same thing as tweaking pathfinder penalties, or providing a new follow_track function to the pathfinder. you don't have anything to modify in the core
17:21:51  <Alberth> indeed
17:23:56  <Eddi|zuHause> another place to tweak would be the industry production (maybe scale down by a factor if things are not connected) or the cargo payment (basically subsidies)
17:25:43  <Alberth> too bad the newgrf doesn't get info about moved cargo that it produces

17:26:10  <Alberth> quak
17:26:22  <Eddi|zuHause> well the interface for that would be the station rating, but it's terrible at measuring that.
17:27:15  <Alberth> cannot hook our own rating CB in there?
17:27:22  <frosch123> hola
17:27:24  <Alberth> ie by NewGRF
17:27:44  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, newgrfs can do that. but it's a hassle, which is why nobody ever does it
17:28:05  <Eddi|zuHause> FIRS has a very rudimentary feature for that
17:28:48  <Eddi|zuHause> but here also comes in the problem that the newgrf only has local information, not global
17:29:03  *** DabuYu [DabuYu@128.250.79.238] has joined #openttd
17:30:40  <Eddi|zuHause> the current station rating has two major prolbems: a) a tiny bus every day is better than a huge train every month, no matter if the station is overflowing with cargo, and b) industries are way too sensitive towards low station rating
17:32:04  <Alberth> delivered cargo is delivered cargo right? The trouble is just that it should get global information to align against
17:32:54  <Alberth> but so far, newgrf specs assume industries don't need global information, or handing out some control
17:34:43  *** shirish [~quassel@0001358e.user.oftc.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
17:35:25  <Eddi|zuHause> the problem is that low station rating has too many side effects. you cannot sustain a network basically below anything like 50%, which makes an algorithm that uses the station rating to measure connected industries and line capacity fail
17:35:58  *** shirish [~quassel@59.94.53.177] has joined #openttd
17:36:41  <Pikka> "realistically", cargos should have different sensitivities to vehicle frequency
17:36:54  <Pikka> coal can sit around for months, goods for a week, passengers want to go right now
17:36:56  <Alberth> with the currently broken rating mechanism you're dead anyway
17:38:03  <Eddi|zuHause> then you have the problem that both the newgrf (local and intrinsic information) and the gamescript (global information) need to have a say in the rating calculation
17:38:11  *** andythenorth [~Andy@194.168.185.226] has joined #openttd
17:38:38  <Alberth> yeah
17:38:40  <Alberth> hi andy
17:38:47  <Eddi|zuHause> the game script cannot know what "COAL" is
17:39:25  <andythenorth> bonsoir
17:39:39  <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: it knows to the same extent as vehicle grfs know
17:39:40  <andythenorth> silly old ‘must be neutral GS'
17:39:45  <Eddi|zuHause> and thus cannot decide on whether to favour line speed, line frequency or line capacity
17:39:46  <frosch123> it knows both the cargo id and the cargo classes
17:40:34  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: yes, but the industry grf knows more than that, thus that is the place where the calculation should take place
17:40:36  <Alberth> frosch123: it's more about "can be months on transport"
17:41:43  <Alberth> or "needs constant delivery" or "needs only small amounts", probably
17:41:59  <andythenorth> is it an issue?
17:42:22  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: more like a dozen issues simultaneously
17:42:24  <andythenorth> seems a bit fiddly
17:42:40  <andythenorth> it was more of an issue watching cdist backload copper ore to the source
17:42:44  <andythenorth> which was bizarre
17:42:59  <andythenorth> trying to use a transfer-and-take-cargo order on a mixd train
17:43:24  <andythenorth> afaik transfer-and-x orders are known to be sketchy with cdist
17:43:42  <Alberth> they still are?
17:43:52  <Alberth> I know some were fixed
17:44:44  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm not up to date with that.
17:44:44  <andythenorth> it’s probably reproducible in the game running on coop nightly server
17:44:53  <andythenorth> might try later
17:44:55  <andythenorth> still working :P
17:45:39  <Eddi|zuHause> "no loading" and "no unloading" should be no issue, but the problem with "transfer" was afair that cargo that uses train X can use A as destination, while cargo that uses train Y cannot

17:45:50  <DorpsGek> spanish - 19 changes by juanjo
17:47:52  <Eddi|zuHause> but i still think the first thing to solve to make station rating as a measure for network quality work is remove the effect on industry growth/closure and the cargo decay effect. (and possibly figure out a new way to influence those)
17:48:13  <andythenorth> industry growth / closure needs a better mechanic
17:48:22  <andythenorth> also newgrf-able
17:48:28  <andythenorth> I think that would be a worthwhile project
17:49:19  <andythenorth> unrelated, I keep intending to refactor FIRS to use the built-in production multiplier (controlled by supplies not rating)
17:49:31  <andythenorth> but I don’t understand the code that is doing the current production boost :)
17:49:58  <andythenorth> it would then be trivial to allow station rating + supplies
17:50:03  <andythenorth> or supplies + whatever
17:50:19  <andythenorth> cargo delivered rather than collected?
17:56:24  <Alberth> you didn't write the production boost thingie?

19:29:12  <andythenorth> and the in-game sprite aligner values have minimal relation to the newgrf values
19:30:13  <Rubidium> does dividing by 4 help?
19:30:58  <andythenorth> might be divide by 2 on y
19:31:03  <andythenorth> and x might be correct

22:29:27  <Eddi|zuHause> Markk: i agree with frosch123 here. we definitely need more context.
22:30:11  <Markk> It's just a random sentence. :)
22:30:29  <Eddi|zuHause> it is not even a sentence
22:30:51  <Markk> The sentence that I wanted in the beginning was "Friday with a bit of cozy suicide".
22:31:16  *** DabuYu [DabuYu@128.250.79.238] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
22:31:17  <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, instead of "einem" you probably want "ein"
22:31:46  <Eddi|zuHause> and "wenig" could be replaced by "bißchen" (or new spelling "bisschen")
22:31:50  <Markk> But I think it should be "A cozy Friday with a suicide".
22:32:01  <Markk> Ah, that's great to know
22:32:02  <Markk> :)
22:32:32  <Eddi|zuHause> that is also probably closer related to "bit", etymologically
22:33:03  <Markk> Eddi|zuHause: How would you translate this: "A cozy Friday with a suicide"?
22:33:12  <Eddi|zuHause> "Biß" ~ "Bite", and "-chen" is a diminutive
22:34:17  <Eddi|zuHause> "Ein gemÃŒtlicher Freitag mit [einem] Selbstmord"
22:34:34  <Eddi|zuHause> it might flow better without the "a" ("einem")
22:34:41  <Markk> Should it be einem and not ein in that case?
22:34:44  <Eddi|zuHause> but again, depends on context
22:34:50  <Eddi|zuHause> yes
22:35:08  <Eddi|zuHause> because the "a" now refers to the "suicide", and not the "bit"
22:35:13  <Markk> ah
22:35:25  <Markk> Cheers mate!
22:36:13  <Eddi|zuHause> also, it would be completely different if you used "tortillas"
22:36:57  <Markk> ah
22:37:06  <Markk> Good thaat I took the real sentence now then
22:37:06  <Markk> :)
22:37:54  <Eddi|zuHause> you have to be careful with replacements, as the defining properties are the gender and the plural
22:38:02  <Markk> Ich danke Ihnen fÃŒr Ihre Hilfe!
22:38:09  <Markk> ah
22:38:14  <Eddi|zuHause> so you have to take a word that has these exact same properties
22:38:14  <Markk> I suspected that
22:38:15  <Markk> :)
22:38:24  <Markk> Yeah
22:39:24  <Eddi|zuHause> and again, it's not actually a sentence :p
22:39:56  <Markk> And I'm not so good at German to get an correct word.
22:40:07  <Markk> It's more of a phrase.

22:53:18  <iniazi> Hello guys, i'm having a strange issue with openttd.  it won't download updates/new addons through the 'Check Online Content' in-game interface... it installs fine, it downloads opengfx during install fine, I'm able to see multiplayer servers and able to connect (and spectate atleast)
22:55:08  <iniazi> I disabled the firewall on this machine (win 7) without any luck.  process explorer shows a connection established when I click 'download', to 94.23.161.41:http

22:56:33  <LordAro> what happens when you click that button?
22:56:37  *** MTsPony [~MTsPony@008-086-128-083.dynamic.caiway.nl] has joined #openttd
22:57:16  <iniazi> another machine (win8.1) isn't able to connect either.  On my work laptop (macbook pro) via vpn, it connects fine.  so something with my network.  just want to rule out bugs or find more info to help me debug (debug log of network activity...)
22:57:50  <iniazi> LordAro: it brings up a window showing progress, but never progresses... just '0B of 5.59 MiB Downloaded'
22:58:41  <iniazi> I deleted my install & openttd directory under my documents or whatever, and did a fresh install. but again i can't install new content through that
22:59:06  <LordAro> weird
22:59:43  <LordAro> i assume you've tried rebooting the router? (about as far as my networking debugging knowledge extends, i'm afraid :) )
23:00:04  <iniazi> i'm thinking its my egress (fios) router...
23:00:28  <LordAro> routers do sometimes have their own builtin firewall
23:00:30  <iniazi> yeah.  its been like this for a few months.  I remember starting it up couple of months ago, and same thing.  but didn't really start playing till now

23:01:19  <ST2> hint: try make a fresh installation of OpenTTD in a drive that not C: and create an empty openttd.cfg file there (same folder that exe)
23:01:24  <ST2> or binary
23:01:36  <iniazi> seems to be making an http connection to openttd.org, website works fine and content list is populated correctly with updates etc.
23:02:06  <iniazi> ST2: yeah good point.  I'll do the non-installer route.  should have tried that already
23:06:39  <ST2> well, noticed that new M$ systems are way protective with OS drive - sometimes require a bunch of work to make stuff work as you want xD
23:08:41  <iniazi> ST2: well I copied the zip file over to a directory in d:\ and renamed any openttd dirs on c:\ so it won't find it.  anyway, it starts and says no opengfx (or something like that) and asks me to download?  i said yes, and same ... 0 B of 3.28 MiB etc.
23:08:54  <iniazi> i mean its stuck there at 0B
23:09:18  <ST2> note: check all your AV/Firewall softwares running - openttd.exe, as an executable can be marked as dangerous sometimes ^^
23:09:27  <ST2> so, there's your issue
23:09:31  <iniazi> on process explorer it shows an established connection to openttd.org...
23:09:43  <iniazi> oh man, i forgot to check AV.
23:09:46  <ST2> and traffic?
23:10:44  <ST2> if connection is made... there should be some bits/bytes from each side
23:11:24  <iniazi> disabled avast and nope... I was actually so sure that would do it.  hmm.  let me see if I can see traffic.  windows i'm usually limited to what I can see... let me see if I can install wireshark
23:11:40  <ST2> unistall Avast
23:11:54  <ST2> that's crap
23:12:10  <ST2> tell me when done
23:14:27  <LordAro> ...install something else though
23:14:39  <LordAro> MSE or AVG are usually good enough
23:14:47  <ST2> Comodo
23:15:16  <ST2> note: I dnt work there
23:15:25  <ST2> and it's free too ^^
23:17:30  <LordAro> not a fan of comodo, far too interfering
23:17:51  <ST2> setting it is a bit hard, yeah
23:18:06  <ST2> but at least is highly costumizable :D
23:18:28  <ST2> "setting it" as you want :D
23:18:31  <iniazi> Aside from a few false positive, avast is probably the fastest and one of the best databases and least amount of false positives... and low overhead.  or atleast was about 2 years ago
23:23:55  <ST2> damn, was trying to get you an example about it (and IRC) but I use a bouncer - as most of ppl here ^^

23:33:11  <iniazi> ST2: i tried it on a new win8.1 box that I have... it only has the windows builtin firewall/defender (default settings)... its about 3 weeks old.  and the same issue.  Its something to do with my fios router probably.
23:33:55  <iniazi> don't have any other problems... is there a way to turn on debugging for openttd?  let me try wireshark i guess

23:43:47  <ST2> well, and I'm bothering myselg with a person that knows Wireshark? other software are milk and cookies
23:43:57  <ST2> myself*
23:44:30  <iniazi> basically it connects and does a post: "POST /bananas HTTP/1.0\r\n" and '3161' and then no response

23:46:31  <iniazi> i'm just gonna give up on it for now.  Someday, I may reset my fios router to default settings, and I bet its the fios router thats probably doing it...
23:47:03  <iniazi> thats the only common thing between this and the other host

23:51:12  <iniazi> generally openttd is great.. the download interface usually works great, and you can download and upload pretty easily.  Have been playing tt, off and on since the original game came out.  now I have my 8 and 10 year old sons playing it too.  :)
