07:51:03  <snadge> im about to dive into the code, and am looking for documnetation.. but how does the music engine work? is that a built in soft synth?
07:51:18  <snadge> im kinda hoping to override the output midi device
07:53:22  <snadge> LOL figured it out.. just used coolsoft midi mapper to change the default output device
07:53:48  <snadge> so now its the original score being played via a roland sc-880 ;)
07:54:07  <snadge> into sennheiser studio headphones

08:12:51  <Eddi|zuHause> possibly they moved into some subdirectories in the past 10 years...
08:14:18  <Eddi|zuHause> snadge: anyway, there should be an "extmidi" driver, which you can use to override via the command line

09:11:33  <andythenorth> hi Alberth
09:18:20  <andythenorth> cement cargo: bulk piles?  http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tzzr68DDQIE/T_q4nf4hYpI/AAAAAAAADYY/h74o15N2zFI/s1600/YHTUI869.jpg
09:18:27  <andythenorth> or bags? https://www.flickr.com/photos/adamcohn/15602076112
09:18:46  <andythenorth> bags won’t look like bags at TTD scale, they’ll look like blobs
09:21:30  *** skapazzo has joined #openttd
09:22:50  *** gelignite has joined #openttd
09:25:16  <Alberth> platforms don't have enough room for proper piles, imho
09:25:47  <Alberth> I prefer stacks, gives more variation
09:27:35  <Alberth> got a bit tired of not having a unique name in the tar/zipfile :p  https://paste.openttdcoop.org/pefxuwum1
09:36:40  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: make whole stacks of bags
09:38:35  <Alberth> :o steel finishing plant, how nice
09:39:51  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: probably I should
09:40:07  <andythenorth> I need sacks for cargos like wool also
09:40:12  <andythenorth> and same sprites would work
09:40:28  <andythenorth> recolouring the bulk cargo would be easier :)

09:45:59  *** sim-al2 has joined #openttd
09:46:14  <Alberth> you're clustering the quarries?
09:46:43  <andythenorth> yes
09:47:02  <andythenorth> I am +/-0 to clustering
09:47:09  <andythenorth> but players seem to like it :|
09:47:10  <Alberth> looks nice
09:47:49  <Alberth> it avoids evenly distribution across the entire map, somewhat
09:48:13  <Alberth> instead you get a few points with heaps of sand and stones
09:48:24  <Alberth> moooaaar trainz needed :)

09:58:18  <andythenorth> ha, bulk cement doesn’t show up on concrete CHIPS tiles :)
10:01:32  <andythenorth> maybe I should split tyres from vehicle parts
10:01:41  <andythenorth> then they could be shown as cargo….
10:05:54  <Alberth> what does "Not producing" mean, as it just made 266t  http://devs.openttd.org/~alberth/not_producing.png
10:07:08  <Alberth>  perhaps you're missing a "must supply all input cargoes" boolean parameter, for "hard cargo" players :p
10:08:03  <Alberth> or produce more if the balance is more even :p
10:08:31  <andythenorth> sadly, the strings are all broken :)
10:08:44  <andythenorth> fixing them is both a code problem and a design problem :)
10:09:04  <andythenorth> that parameter might be a valid one
10:09:31  <andythenorth> “Require all input cargos: never | some industries only | always”
10:10:16  <andythenorth> for the industry text, ‘delivered within last three months’ is too long
10:11:30  <andythenorth> ✓ would probably be sufficient :P
10:11:56  <Alberth> recently delivered
10:11:57  <andythenorth> or two lists: Delivered / Required
10:12:23  <andythenorth> the ‘three months’ is redundant detail? o_O
10:12:49  <Alberth> delivered last quarter
10:13:01  <andythenorth> ‘delivered’ ?
10:13:06  * andythenorth thinks strip it right down
10:13:08  <Alberth> would work too
10:14:07  <Alberth> ha, also have a parameter "process in equal quantities"
10:15:08  <Alberth> and produce more, to tease people into playing it :p
10:15:58  * andythenorth wonders if the ratios are just over-thinking it
10:16:05  <andythenorth> but 3 into 8 doesn’t go neatly :)
10:16:56  <Alberth> you need something to steer the player in delivering the "right" cargoes
10:18:05  <Alberth> balancing input would open a new way of playing
10:18:21  <Alberth> although you then also need somewhat stock-piling-ish
10:18:40  <Alberth> but less rigid than ecs
10:19:33  <andythenorth> I think the old display of the ratios guided ‘right’ cargos?
10:19:46  <andythenorth> not sure the new text is better
10:19:54  <Alberth> for me it did, generally
10:20:03  <andythenorth> I only started the new text to reduce translation maintenance
10:20:31  <Alberth> you could do "needed", "recommended", and "accepted" or so
10:20:45  <andythenorth> hmm, if I revert to old, it  will be a big manual merge :D
10:20:47  <andythenorth> ugh
10:21:13  <Alberth> this is why branches can be useful :p
10:21:53  <andythenorth> isn’t it :)
10:22:47  <Alberth> the displayed string is just wrong thus?
10:23:02  <andythenorth> the ‘not producing’ is wrong
10:23:11  <andythenorth> the ‘required’ / ‘delivered’ are accurate
10:24:48  <Alberth> seems that way indeed
10:25:38  <andythenorth> ‘Current efficient: zero’ also wrong
10:27:06  <Alberth> :)
10:27:21  <Alberth> "help!"
10:28:11  <Alberth> http://devs.openttd.org/~alberth/sulphur_pipeline.png   <-- you could add a pipeline, every now and then :p
10:31:21  *** Wolf01 has joined #openttd
10:32:21  <Wolf01> o/
10:32:49  <Alberth> moin
10:33:19  <andythenorth> use the PIPE grf :)
10:33:50  <andythenorth> PIPE should be redone as NRT, and Wolf01 should finish the ‘no crossings’ patch that we said wasn’t needed :)
10:34:02  <andythenorth> ‘no crossings’ would be useful for a PIPE hack on NRT
10:34:09  <Wolf01> The patch *is* finished
10:35:32  <andythenorth> Alberth: you’re using the Dutch translation in FIRS?
10:35:44  <Wolf01> I had the idea to add a "no bridges" flag too (to disable $roadtype bridges, not bridges over $roadtype") some time ago, and I think it would come handy to supermop
10:36:08  <Wolf01> *bridges AND tunnels, that is
10:38:10  <Alberth> I do, currently
10:38:53  <Alberth> andythenorth: oh, sorry, no I don't, I use dutch town names only
10:38:59  <andythenorth> ok, well http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/firs/push/LATEST/
10:39:05  <andythenorth> is stripped to just ‘required'
10:39:10  <andythenorth> should be savegame safe
10:39:53  <Alberth> you're tempting me to break the newgrf-update rule eh? :)
10:40:07  <andythenorth> just don’t post your bug report in the forum when it breaks :P
10:40:28  <Alberth> haha :)
10:40:30  <andythenorth> I probably get about 99% success rate on newgrf updates
10:40:43  <andythenorth> and 1 in 100 will crash openttd, or unrecoverably destroy my game
10:40:58  <Alberth> yeah, but you know exactly what you changed :)
10:41:02  <andythenorth> yup
10:41:09  <Alberth> that helps :)
10:41:14  <andythenorth> so this industry window text remains pretty unsatisfactory
10:41:44  <andythenorth> it repeats the required cargos, and is generally hard to understand
10:41:46  <Alberth> needs some work
10:46:30  <andythenorth> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/8358/industry-window-text.png
10:46:45  <andythenorth> I’ve wanted the ‘needed’ / ‘delivered’ text for years
10:47:08  <andythenorth> to see quickly whether cargos are getting delivered frequently
10:47:22  <andythenorth> but it’s confusing unless you really understand FIRS
10:47:36  <andythenorth> does ‘delivered’ mean you can’t deliver more?
10:47:42  <andythenorth> does the industry have ‘enough’?
10:47:51  <andythenorth> maybe it has closed the stockpile? etc
10:50:24  <Alberth> provided
10:50:26  <Alberth> ?
10:50:42  <Alberth> sufficient
10:51:33  * andythenorth wondering if we have any glyphs that could be made red / green
10:51:37  <Alberth> supply secured
10:51:40  <Alberth> supplied
10:51:42  <andythenorth> it’s just a guide, not an instruction
10:51:57  <andythenorth> it’s like the red/green in the vehicle list for profit
10:52:02  <Alberth> yay!
10:52:32  <andythenorth> the ‘required: [cargos]’ is also repeating the ‘cargo waiting to be processed'
10:52:33  <Alberth> red/green is horrible for people that are colour blind
10:52:37  <andythenorth> I know :|
10:52:55  <andythenorth> ideal would be two different glyphs
10:53:04  <andythenorth> presumably I could extend openttd base font?
10:53:53  <Alberth> I wonder how script pages do that
10:54:35  <Alberth> euhm, *story pages
10:55:06  <andythenorth> ah there’s a tick mark here https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/StringCodes
10:55:15  <Alberth> available
10:55:17  <andythenorth> but not in nml
10:57:43  <Alberth> neither in translation http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/eints/nightlies/LATEST/docs/string_commands.html#non-positional-newgrf-string-commands
10:58:38  * andythenorth patches nml to test
10:58:59  <Alberth> I got those from openttd source, and not from nml, iirc
10:59:26  <Alberth> but some were dropped, as they were not useful, iirc
10:59:37  <andythenorth> maybe newgrf docs are outdated
10:59:47  <Alberth> frosch might know
11:01:40  <Alberth> src/table/strgen_tables.h  has a checkmark, but no cross, it seems
11:01:55  <andythenorth> newgrf docs say “X mark"
11:02:01  <andythenorth> on offset AD
11:02:08  <Alberth> euhm, it's just below the check mark :p
11:02:18  <andythenorth> I didn’t see it until the 3rd time I looked :P
11:02:20  <Alberth> I should try reading :p
11:04:26  <Alberth> just keep the text, write 2 lines of text about in the do-not-readme, and you're done :)
11:05:07  <andythenorth> it has become a project now :)
11:19:30  <andythenorth> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/8359/industry-window-text-2.png
11:19:42  <andythenorth> Alberth: bit ugly, but…more sense? ^
11:24:28  <Alberth> would work, what does "Required:" mean
11:24:42  <andythenorth> I am trying to simplify further
11:24:48  * andythenorth waits for compile
11:26:26  <Alberth> "(ok)" would be a textual alternative
11:27:09  <Alberth> "Recently delivered:"   instead of "Required:" ?
11:27:23  <Alberth> or "Delivered in last three months:"
11:27:50  <Alberth> do you have optional cargoes?
11:28:15  <andythenorth> unfortunately
11:28:23  <andythenorth> sometimes
11:28:37  <andythenorth> too much detail imho
11:29:05  <Alberth> those do not count in gung-ho etc, I guess
11:30:12  <andythenorth> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/8360/industry-window-text-3.png
11:31:05  <Alberth> :O  pretty
11:31:49  <Alberth> I wonder if that really needs a list of 3 lines, but fair enough
11:32:48  <andythenorth> well I can’t control the ‘cargo waiting to be processed’ text :)
11:32:57  <andythenorth> which is pointless here
11:34:06  <Alberth> .. within three moinths: Iron Ore ✔ Coke ✔ Stone (lacking)"
11:34:27  <andythenorth> I’ll patch nml and see what the x looks like
11:34:49  <Alberth> yeah, I know about the stupid text
11:34:57  <Alberth> ✗   <- like that :p
11:36:05  <andythenorth> stupid text is fixable :)
11:36:17  <andythenorth> just one of those too-many things that it’s hoped frosch will do :)
11:37:09  <Alberth> yeah, but so far the text is still winning :p
11:37:22  <andythenorth> I am going to start patching more things :P
11:37:26  <andythenorth> ineptly
11:37:39  <andythenorth> but not while so many newgrfs are in unreleasable state
11:39:12  <andythenorth> with 2 cargos (and this industry has some extra info text)
11:39:13  <andythenorth> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/8361/industry-window-text-4.png
11:44:18  <andythenorth> oh
11:44:45  <Alberth> "Produces stuff." isn't terribly relevant
11:45:18  <Alberth> add it to the documentation :)
11:45:24  <andythenorth> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/8362/industry-window-text-5.png
11:45:38  <andythenorth> x is large font for some reason :P
11:46:10  <Alberth> {small}{cross}  :p
11:46:25  <Alberth> may not exist though
11:46:53  <Alberth> this may also be the reason why checkmark and cross were dropped
11:46:55  <andythenorth> can’t use {small} in this window
11:47:05  <andythenorth> there’s no way to reset back to normal
11:47:25  <Alberth> silly openttd
11:47:31  <andythenorth> was it frosch who wanted to replace all string handling with some text framework? o_O
11:47:37  <andythenorth> someone did
11:47:45  <Alberth> I would not be surprised
11:48:33  <Alberth> zuu perhaps, he tried to make clickable town names and so on
11:48:46  <Alberth> maybe that even works
11:48:57  <andythenorth> it does in some places
11:58:03  <andythenorth> Alberth: you think I should drop the ‘extra info’ text that some industries have?
12:03:23  <andythenorth> it’s only used at 13 out of 82 industries
12:03:30  <andythenorth> answer is probably self-evident :)
12:20:10  *** maciozo has joined #openttd
12:25:03  *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
12:25:50  <Alberth> it's nice side-information, perhaps modellers like it
12:26:17  <Alberth> I typically just read the the accepted cargoes and often the ratios too
12:26:41  <andythenorth> I’ve deleted it, but kept the strings locally in case I reuse them in docs
12:26:50  <Alberth> for more experienced players, they can probably draw the cargo flow from their head
12:27:02  <andythenorth> even I can’t do that :)
12:27:09  <andythenorth> I have to use the cargo flow window a lot
12:27:50  <Alberth> yeah, the text is definitely useful, I think even the picture links you paste here would be fun to add
12:28:24  <Alberth> you play all economies, and your focus is not playing :p
12:29:34  <Alberth> if you play the one favourite economy every day, you know what to connect within a month :)
12:33:18  *** FLHerne has quit IRC
12:38:10  * andythenorth has deleted all the extra text
12:38:22  <andythenorth> better now
12:41:56  <Alberth> less cluttered :)
12:47:58  *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
13:03:42  <andythenorth> Alberth: if you’re still playing… http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/8363/firs.tar

13:05:49  *** FLHerne has quit IRC

13:10:08  <andythenorth> heh

13:10:27  <andythenorth> scaling or drawing an x can’t be hard

13:12:17  <andythenorth> yeah
13:12:21  <andythenorth> that thread is weird though
13:13:13  <Wolf01> I have a nasty problem with eb forum, I can't change pages on topics, it happen for you too?
13:14:46  <andythenorth> yup
13:14:49  <andythenorth> seems to be webkit
13:15:00  <Wolf01> I'm on firefox...
13:15:01  <andythenorth> I tried digging through the JS calls to find the problem
13:15:08  <andythenorth> but eh, I am not good at JS debugging
13:15:26  <Wolf01> I was, but now I forgot everything about js :P
13:15:27  <andythenorth> they claim it’s contention on the DB
13:15:32  <andythenorth> but I would be surprised by that
13:16:07  <Wolf01> I change page then hit F5, it works
13:16:13  <andythenorth> same here
13:16:25  <Wolf01> So I thing it's just shitty js
13:16:31  <andythenorth> it’s something in the fancy scroll-fade crap they applied
13:16:32  <Wolf01> *think
13:16:53  <andythenorth> _could_ be DB locks failing to clear, because they might have to lock if you’re editing a reply
13:16:58  <andythenorth> but that sounds like piss-poor design to me
13:17:00  <Wolf01> Also on edge is broken beyond help
13:17:18  <andythenorth> all my favourite forums except tt-forums have gone crap recently
13:17:20  <andythenorth> all upgraded
13:17:24  <andythenorth> and worse
13:17:27  <Wolf01> Yep
13:17:31  <andythenorth> and it’s not just because I’m 39
13:17:33  <andythenorth> and fear change
13:17:55  <andythenorth> PHP-BB is just more reliable and has less shit
13:18:30  <Wolf01> People want only fancy things with glitter, then make loads of bug reports
13:19:01  <Wolf01> I still have a SMF 1.x
13:19:58  <Wolf01> Which works like a charm, after a fix for the config file which got emptied instead of a cache file

15:52:40  <frosch123> Wolf01: only_existing=true does not consider vehicle introduction and date-based roadtype introduction
15:52:42  <supermop> worst practices andy

15:53:15  <supermop> with everything included
15:53:16  <frosch123> i think only_existing=true requires a companyid, since vehicle availability is based on companies or so

16:25:56  <Wolf01> <frosch123> i think only_existing=true requires a companyid, since vehicle availability is based on companies or so <- something like this? HasBit(c->avail_roadtypes[rtid.basetype], rtid.subtype)
16:26:58  <Wolf01> But it's not really for the single vehicle, it is for the entire roadsubtype
16:27:19  <Wolf01> So at least one vehicle should exist for that, or should exist in future
16:35:28  <frosch123> i thought that is what "only_existing" was about

16:42:17  *** mescalito has joined #openttd

17:11:09  * andythenorth has no recollection

18:42:08  <frosch123> why would you want to remove the other text?
18:42:30  <Alberth> give newgrf author a clean sheet to start with

19:02:00  <Alberth> I think it's clean, I use bit 17 of industry behavior, which is currently not used (in the code)
19:02:41  <andythenorth> so it’s a flag?
19:03:17  <Alberth> "suppress 'cargo to be processed' text" flag
19:03:29  <andythenorth> currently, the ‘waiting’ text appears if bit 1 or 2 are set in prop 21, which is assumptive
19:03:42  <andythenorth> it assumes only gradual processing :P
19:04:33  <Alberth> ok, we can call it the "not gradual processing display flag"  :)
19:04:52  <andythenorth> can we put it on prop 1A? https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action0/Industries#Special_industry_flags_to_define_special_behavior_.281A.29
19:05:03  <andythenorth> oh that is your proposal

19:07:29  <frosch123> Alberth: https://devs.openttd.org/~frosch/cb37ecs.png <- that is how ecs does it
19:07:43  <frosch123> personally i consider the ecs method way better than firs
19:07:46  <andythenorth> frosch123: would the flag be an acceptable solution?  Or would the cb be prefeable?
19:07:56  <andythenorth> yes, I am going to adopt cb 37
19:08:16  <andythenorth> I was slightly avoiding it because the ‘waiting to be processed’ text makes me sad :)
19:08:18  <frosch123> from a gui consistency view i would always put the input cargos to the top, with some cargo related info next to it
19:08:28  <frosch123> firs for some reason always does some wall of text at the bottom
19:08:49  <andythenorth> well the top is full of useless text :)
19:09:25  <andythenorth> I have stripped it down to http://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/8364/industry-window-text-6.png
19:09:36  <andythenorth> and the repeating of two cargos at the end is obviously silly
19:09:37  <frosch123> andythenorth: i don't care about flag or callback. it just should be a solution that make sense, and does not break after 2 weeks
19:10:00  <frosch123> iirc you already broke the wall-of-text callback in the past when running out of textstack
19:10:06  <andythenorth> yes
19:10:16  *** markasoftware has joined #openttd
19:10:18  <andythenorth> I had to redesign my text, is fine
19:10:26  <andythenorth> the thing about the flag, it’s adding more stuff to fix a design flaw, no?
19:10:45  <andythenorth> but I can’t think of any appropriate way to fix root cause
19:10:52  <frosch123> so, i stick to my opinion: the "supplies", "more required" message should be next to the cargo at the top
19:11:01  <andythenorth> agreed
19:11:04  <frosch123> putting it into the wall of text is bad from a gui pov, and also bad from a coding pov
19:11:05  <andythenorth> I’m converted to that view
19:12:02  <Alberth> In ECS, the top 4 lines are the 'to be processed' lines, and "Production this month:" etc is  added, right?
19:12:30  <frosch123> from an ottd pov i would replace the "cargo waiting to be processed" with the "requires" text from https://devs.openttd.org/~alberth/no_waiting.png, except it would always print a separate line per cargo, instead of the comma-separation
19:12:59  <andythenorth> Alberth: ‘to be processed’ and ‘production this month’ are both default
19:13:07  <frosch123> Alberth: "production this month" is standard, you also see that in the no_waiting screenshot
19:13:10  <andythenorth> ‘Animals:’ and ‘Remain:’ are added
19:13:23  <Alberth> ah, ok, I am there :)
19:13:45  <frosch123> ecs only has debug info at the bottom :)
19:13:57  <Alberth> it's not debug info :p
19:14:08  <frosch123> it always look to me as if :)
19:14:19  <Alberth> I reported it once as such, and it was explained it was vital information about the industry :p
19:15:10  <andythenorth> and then I made FIRS :P
19:15:21  <andythenorth> ECS is nice, but not for me :)
19:15:25  <andythenorth> I don’t have enough brain
19:15:57  <Alberth> I can see the advantage of a line for each cargo, the question is whether we should enforce that, imho
19:16:21  <Alberth> I am +0.5 or so
19:16:21  <frosch123> imho yes :)
19:16:38  <frosch123> the wall of text makes stuff inconsistent, and is very limited wrt. amount of parameters
19:16:54  <Alberth> ok
19:17:13  <Alberth> and so the simple patch explodes :p
19:17:49  <frosch123> Alberth: the funny thing is, i think, andy is happy if we just change the string "Cargo to be processed" to "Requires:"
19:18:15  <andythenorth> spurious ‘amount waiting’ values still there then :)
19:18:34  <Alberth> yeah, silly "0" values :)
19:18:48  <frosch123> and possibly the other lines to "Vehicle parts (0 crates waiting)"
19:18:49  <Alberth> maybe you should add stockpiling :p
19:19:01  <frosch123> with a cb flag to disable display of the "waiting" part (per cargo)
19:19:12  <andythenorth> yup
19:19:18  <andythenorth> modify cb37
19:19:26  <frosch123> Alberth: i think andy actually has stockpiling, he just does not display it
19:19:32  <andythenorth> I do? :O
19:19:50  <frosch123> sure, you have lots of "cargo delivered within 3 months", so you stockpile for 3 months
19:20:02  <andythenorth> implicit :)
19:20:04  <Alberth> :D
19:21:03  <Alberth> I once coded to take 1/16 of the cargo with a minimum of 1 (or 0 if there is no cargo at all) for yetis, and that had the nice effect that cargo is slowly provided at the output
19:21:15  <Alberth> slowly ramping down
19:22:26  <Alberth> it's also stockpiling, but it has no explicit maximum
19:22:57  <Alberth> although you can't throw 255 every production cycle at it either
19:23:13  <Alberth> @calc 8*255
19:23:13  <DorpsGek> Alberth: 2040

19:52:11  <supermop> so seems like trolley busses are going to be DOA
19:52:31  *** FLHerne has joined #openttd
19:52:59  <frosch123> there is a TODO in the source about upgrading town roads :)
19:53:15  <andythenorth> results 0800 to 0CFF make sense if the header text (‘cargo waiting…’) can also be specified
19:53:24  <andythenorth> but otherwise it’s weirdly flexible
19:53:38  <andythenorth> author can provide anything, except it must follow the heading :P
19:54:51  <supermop> maybe nrt grf can specify in addition to a list of powered compatible types, types for which a conversion is a non-invasive upgrade
19:55:17  <Alberth> andythenorth: grfcodec paved the way for that :p
19:55:38  <supermop> specifically allow what to upgrade town owned roads to, so cannot grief by 'upgrading everything to a dirt road, or a road that disallows house growth
19:56:10  <frosch123> Alberth: isn't 800-cff just what andy wants? display no amount, but display "supplied"

19:57:31  <andythenorth> I read it as any arbitrary string
19:57:36  <frosch123> wrt. the text at top, imho it should just say "requires" in all cases
19:58:16  <andythenorth> ‘Requires: 0 tonnes of grain’ ?
19:58:18  <Alberth> Requires:  Steel (100 max)  ?
19:59:06  <Alberth> not even sure if the industry has 100, or you must supply 100

21:01:50  * andythenorth is trying to remove warnings about broken translation langs
21:02:28  <andythenorth> “Discard next word from stack”
21:03:17  <Eddi|zuHause> {SKIP} is a parameter that is ignored, like when you have two strings "{A} {B} {C}" and "{A} {C}", you can pass both the same parameters A,B,C if you change the second one to "{A} {SKIP} {C}"
21:03:59  <Eddi|zuHause> means you can reuse the same code to push the parameters to the stack
21:05:29  <andythenorth> it’s present in nml
21:05:34  <andythenorth> might just be missing from docs
21:05:41  * andythenorth can’t fix, can’t log in to wiki

21:45:46  <Eddi|zuHause> uhm, how can skip be "pointless" in translations? certainly the order of parameters matters
21:46:10  <Eddi|zuHause> and possibly translations need parameters that english doesn't need
21:46:47  <frosch123> translations use {3:STRING} {1:COMMA}
21:48:36  <frosch123> {SKIP} in translations is something that the compilers deals with, not the translator

21:51:14  <frosch123> {SKIP} defines register layout in the baselanguage, but it has no information in the translation
21:52:55  * andythenorth wonders why it’s used
21:53:17  <andythenorth> it’s in the primary supplies text
21:53:47  <frosch123> likely because you wanted to do STORE_TEMP(0x100, a), STORE_TEMP(0x101, b) instead of STORE_TEMP(0x100, a | (b << 16))
21:54:39  <frosch123> or you have different versions of strings which use different amount of parameters, but you want to keep the same code to fill them
21:54:59  <frosch123> like when you have strings for 3, 2 and 1 input cargos
21:55:10  <frosch123> and other information in the other registers
21:57:47  <andythenorth> at 4X only one register is used http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/firs/repository/entry/lang/english.lng
21:58:16  <andythenorth> so the skip would make sense there

22:35:48  <Wolf01> Also ammo now has weight, I can't carry anymore 100+ fusion cores and 50 fat boys :(
22:36:14  <Eddi|zuHause> i've never actually played fallout
22:37:05  <Wolf01> It's a good game if you like the genre (TES-like), totally different than the first 2 ones
22:37:41  <Eddi|zuHause> i don't know the genre
22:38:18  <Wolf01> Explore the fuck out of the world and make people angry with bad decisions, that is :P
