02:02:42  <Supercheese> yeah TBRS is great but you get the mix of the modern road surfaces on bridges when all roads are dirt/cobblestone

02:26:45  <supermop> i actually don't really like tbrs
02:26:57  <supermop> but there arent any other bridge sets

02:42:03  <Supercheese> I like the tied arches
02:42:26  <Supercheese> very good looking bridges
03:04:10  <Flygon> What I want
03:04:19  <Flygon> Are bridges for rivers that don't need the damn incline
03:04:24  <Flygon> They're everywhere in Australia
03:04:26  <Flygon> For railways, for roads
03:04:30  <Flygon> Why not OpenTTD? D:
03:04:37  <Flygon> Just block ships from going through
03:09:34  <Supercheese> sounds like an application for an object
03:09:51  <Supercheese> like those new creeks/small rivers from the Australia thread
03:10:02  <Supercheese> they have the fake bridges already, even

03:38:42  <Flygon> Supercheese: Yeah, but I meant something RVs can actually drive on
03:38:45  <Flygon> No speed limit, either
03:38:49  <Flygon> All the ones, at least, locally
03:38:52  <Flygon> Are at least 100km/h
03:39:01  <Flygon> Or - The same speed limit as the road
03:39:12  <Flygon> And the ones on NSW's Freeways are 110km/h...
03:46:06  <Supercheese> Ok, bulldoze river, build road tile, build adjacent objects faking a bridge
03:46:12  <Supercheese> that's basically what you want, no?
03:46:34  <Supercheese> just gotta make the objects look fancy enough

05:56:20  <myztic> ( airports and therefore planes, routes, et cetera)
05:59:49  <Flygon> Supercheese: True, true...but even then
05:59:59  <Flygon> How do you handle reconstructing the river if the road is modified?
06:00:09  <Supercheese> yeah, that's an issue
06:00:28  <Supercheese> whenever you bulldoze a river tile you can't ever get it back without scenario editor
06:00:32  <Flygon> Yeah
06:08:32  <myztic> I think I will just set 4,5 or 6 airports in the central of the map, coordinate all airplanes from there
06:08:39  <myztic> and later found a city near that sport

11:09:32  <__ln__> \____,
11:26:16  <dihedral> __ln__: i always wonder how strange your mind actually is... but sadly there is hardly a measurement for that
11:30:55  <__ln__> my mind is the definition of normal, and anything deviating from it is actually strange
11:33:16  <Eddi|zuHause> that isn't really how "normal" works...
11:35:17  <__ln__> it's like the piece of iron in paris that defined the mass of a kilogram
11:36:08  <Eddi|zuHause> that's a "standard", doesn't automatically make it "normal"
11:36:28  <Wolf01> http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OnlySaneMan
11:37:44  <__ln__> we could also assume that other people's minds are a plane, and my mind is the normal for that plane.
11:47:10  <Wolf01> my bad... are you all stuck on tvtropes again?

13:50:10  <Hydros> I'll be afk but will check back in the late evening
13:51:16  <Hydros> ( http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=74369&p=1163016#p1163016 )
13:53:38  <planetmaker> Hydros, a discussion in PMs is not helpful IMHO
13:54:15  <Hydros> I meant if anyone is too shy about posting, that's ok too

14:02:42  <V453000> a lot of things, many of them are mentioned in the thread
14:02:48  <V453000> innovation would be really good
14:05:02  <planetmaker> I wonder(ed) whether the logo could be adjusted such that the 'pen' from OpenTTD could be the cargo in the train. And the first T (tilted 90°) kind of the bottom on which the 'pen' lies...
14:05:47  <planetmaker> the 'pen' of course in smaller font
14:06:40  <V453000> write it there :P
14:07:19  <V453000> though I have to say I agrew with writing all letters equally
14:08:40  <V453000> how many times per day do you see people write instead of OpenTTD stuff like ottd, TTD, TT, and whatnot. Writing all letters the same emphasises that it is one "product", and especially since "TTD does not stand for Transport Tycoon Deluxe", this makes sense

14:21:49  <V453000> yez
14:23:10  <planetmaker> in that trail of thought it could resemble a fright train... O = boxed car. penT = flatbed wagon TD = engine
14:23:28  <planetmaker> fright? freight
14:23:45  <planetmaker> frightening how much difference one letter makes ;)
14:24:37  <peter1138> freightening
14:25:44  <peter1138> i quite like the unlabelled negative orange (2 above f1)
14:26:07  <peter1138> but i also like the current logo :p

14:30:06  <argoneus> are we discussing guitars
14:30:20  <V453000> you are just used to the current but if you try to look at it unbiasedly (hard, I know), it is rather bad
14:31:04  <argoneus> "TTD doesn't stand for transport tycoon deluxe"
14:31:04  <argoneus> wuut
14:31:59  <V453000> welcome to copyright world
14:32:35  <argoneus> I thought you needed official permission anyway
14:32:49  <argoneus> since you can get the same game chris sawyer made but free
14:33:48  <V453000> well if you reverse engineer something instead of copying the code, you should not need permission
14:34:53  <argoneus> uhhh...
14:36:49  <peter1138> eh, let's not go there
14:39:45  <V453000> :) .
14:46:08  <Eddi|zuHause> <argoneus> "TTD doesn't stand for transport tycoon deluxe" <-- TBH, that sentence probably wouldn't hold in a court...
14:47:48  <Eddi|zuHause> but trademark law is even more weird than copyright law
14:49:27  <peter1138> it stops gaming sites expanding the name
14:49:50  <Hydros> planetmaker, I did miss that comment!
14:49:54  <Hydros> thanks for pointing that
14:49:55  <Hydros> hi
14:49:58  <Hydros> yo V453000
14:50:02  <Hydros> darn
14:50:10  <Hydros> more iterations coming then, evening...
14:51:59  <Eddi|zuHause> <argoneus> are we discussing guitars <-- if your guitar has an o-string, you've probably been ripped off :p
14:54:59  <Hydros> yes to reverse engineering
14:55:06  <Hydros> all over EU we are still reasonable
14:55:11  <Hydros> we don't allow patenting software
14:55:20  <argoneus> Eddi|zuHause: lol
14:55:21  <argoneus> oh yeah
14:55:30  <argoneus> companies put in their EULAs that you aren't allowed to RE their software
14:55:35  <Hydros> which is some of the stupidest ideas post-industrial word has come up with
14:55:37  <argoneus> these days
14:55:49  <Hydros> you can RE it without using it, then you never accepted the EULA? :)
14:56:17  <Hydros> from what I read EULAs aren't really that enforcable or as heavy as they seem
14:56:44  <Hydros> a lot of that stuff didn't hold up in court when push came to shove
14:57:32  <Hydros> I have to get going but i'll be back later, perhaps sooner than planned.

16:02:05  <V453000> no wonder people pirate music instead
16:04:30  <Eddi|zuHause> well, it's a PR battle mostly, neither side really wants to give in.
16:06:25  <Eddi|zuHause> GEMA insists that it never actually requested any videos to be blocked, and has fought multiple court cases that the message youtube gives does not read that way...
16:07:03  <Eddi|zuHause> and youtube doesn't want to pay as much as GEMA wants
16:08:28  <Eddi|zuHause> youtube had a license on the ground that it was an experimental startup, which ran out in 2009. and GEMA was like "you're established, now we want Real Money(tm)"
16:09:03  <Eddi|zuHause> at the time the talks ultimately failed, they were reportedly like a factor of 10 apart
16:09:13  <V453000> xd
16:12:08  <Eddi|zuHause> nothing really has moved since then, even though youtube signed contracts with all GEMA-like institutions in all the other european countries

18:00:01  <andythenorth> so where does this edible oil cargo go?
18:00:11  * andythenorth has been adding cargos with sources, but no destination except a port
18:02:39  <frosch123> usually it goes into a pan
18:04:23  <argoneus> peter pan
18:04:26  <andythenorth> hmm
18:04:54  <andythenorth> accepts: edible oil, bacon
18:04:59  <andythenorth> produces: breakfast
18:06:07  <frosch123> add potatoes
18:06:15  <frosch123> potatos + oil = food
18:06:51  <frosch123> actually, yuo can replace potatoes in that equation with about anything
18:07:51  <frosch123> if i take the menu from the asian fastfood thingie nearby, every second word is "fried"
18:08:06  <argoneus> nice racism
18:08:06  <frosch123> combined with rice, pasta, duck, chicken, ...
18:08:39  <frosch123> argoneus: they also sell pizza, kebab and burgers
18:08:51  <frosch123> oh, and donuts
18:08:58  <frosch123> kind of universal fastfood
18:09:10  <argoneus> szechuan chicken best food ok
18:09:27  <frosch123> they dropped the "only meat" category though
18:10:28  <frosch123> stuff like a small-pizza sized schnitzel
18:10:30  <frosch123> with nothing else
18:10:46  <frosch123> oh, wait, you could add meat sauce to it
18:10:54  <argoneus> holy fuck that sounds tasty
18:10:57  <argoneus> I'd eat that with bread
18:11:04  <argoneus> why did they take it out
18:14:52  <frosch123> a schnitzel by itself is not exactly tasty

18:50:23  <andythenorth> expand?
18:50:26  <andythenorth> o_O
18:51:07  <Eddi|zuHause> just a black hole for food and oil
18:51:21  <Eddi|zuHause> that appears in the outskirts of town
18:51:35  <frosch123> outskirts?
18:51:41  <argoneus> upskirts
18:52:23  <frosch123> city centers consist of 30% fast food, 50% clothes shops
18:52:27  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: like in shopping centers that get built just outside the town
18:52:39  <andythenorth> been considering an ‘urban’ economy for a long time
18:52:49  <andythenorth> but does it work with TTD town pattern?
18:53:04  <frosch123> andythenorth: it may compliment the town builders
18:53:16  <andythenorth> if there are e.g. 16 different industries in a town
18:53:18  <frosch123> complement?
18:53:23  <andythenorth> complement
18:53:26  <andythenorth> I think
18:53:31  <andythenorth> I never know those two tbh
18:53:32  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: those are two very different things :p
18:53:35  <andythenorth> I have to look it up
18:54:13  <andythenorth> anyway 16 industries in one town, all need deliveries, possibly collections?
18:54:18  <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: yeah, otherwise i would not have bothered correcting
18:54:19  <andythenorth> is that actually fun gameplay?
18:54:33  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: how would i know?
18:54:50  <andythenorth> guess?
18:54:50  <frosch123> andythenorth: not with station spread 64 :p
18:55:10  <andythenorth> also you sometimes get things with compliments, and things that are complementary
18:55:19  <frosch123> i guess town industries can only be black holes in that cases
18:55:21  <andythenorth> and when both are free extra, it’s very confusing
18:55:27  <frosch123> inner-town cargos do not really work
18:55:31  <andythenorth> yeah...

21:18:31  <andythenorth> :P
21:19:13  <andythenorth> in other news, in tgp.cpp, I copied the LT_TEMPERATE landscape settings for the the LT_TROPIC case
21:19:15  <argoneus> what about the bug where Ian isn't here anymore :(
21:19:18  <andythenorth> much better results imho
21:19:26  <andythenorth> landscape is obviously subjective
21:19:37  <andythenorth> but endless flat desert makes boring gameplay
21:19:49  <andythenorth> and can be achieved trivially with a heightmap or SE
21:20:44  <andythenorth> the original landscape generator does *not* make endless flat deserts
21:21:06  <frosch123> what about 1.4? :p
21:21:16  <andythenorth> it was
fixed? :P
21:21:26  <andythenorth> there is a case that anyone who is seriously attached to current TGP tropic configuration could just go whistle, no?
21:22:34  <frosch123> i pondered to remove all the mapgenerator presets, and instead add some sliders and profiles
21:22:46  <frosch123> similar to chills, but not as cryptic
21:23:18  <frosch123> some of the current mapgen settings are mislabeled imho
21:23:25  <frosch123> while others have a weird scaling
21:23:54  <frosch123> and i agree that landscape should not affect the terrain generator
21:24:06  <frosch123> but the terrain generator should offer more options
21:24:09  <frosch123> independent of landscape
21:24:19  <frosch123> including a preview :p
21:24:40  <andythenorth> well
21:24:50  <andythenorth> I do not disagree :D
21:25:02  <andythenorth> in the short term, I like my patch :P
21:25:06  <andythenorth> it was easy
