08:16:05  <andythenorth> ?
08:16:09  <andythenorth> got 64 cargos to use up
08:17:18  *** iSoSyS has joined #openttd
08:19:26  *** iSoSyS has quit IRC
08:28:56  <peter1138> andythenorth, 128 cargos
08:29:29  <peter1138> There's a callback result that houses use that limits the house set to using 32 cargo types.
08:29:33  <peter1138> I think that's not a problem.
08:29:51  <Pikka> hmmm
08:29:54  <peter1138> They only want passengers and mail anyway, normally.
08:30:26  <andythenorth> peter1138: 256 cargos, and 16 in/out per industry
08:30:31  <peter1138> o_O
08:30:37  <Pikka> more in/out would be nice
08:30:56  <andythenorth> "nooooooooooooooooo"
08:31:01  * andythenorth likes the limits
08:31:06  <andythenorth> also station probblem
08:31:12  <Pikka> well
08:31:36  <peter1138> Add cargotype to platforms.
08:31:45  <Pikka> what kind of station just piles cargo up on the platforms anyway? :P
08:31:52  <peter1138> ikr
08:32:56  * andythenorth bbl :)

08:33:12  <peter1138> Never!
08:33:23  <peter1138> Ok, so port rather than station, but still.

10:28:42  *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause
10:29:08  <Eddi|zuHause> something like: decide the cargo during the tileloop, instead of during callback resolution?
10:29:36  <Eddi|zuHause> (so, store it in the tile)
10:31:45  <Eddi|zuHause> could then add some fancy logic to distribute the cargos over the tiles, instead of picking the largest pile for all tiles
10:33:31  *** berndj has quit IRC
10:34:42  *** berndj has joined #openttd
10:46:15  *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
10:46:18  <andythenorth> such lol
10:46:22  <andythenorth> all these station cargo sprites
10:46:32  <andythenorth> that you only see if you're playing the game wrong :P
10:47:15  *** Smedles has joined #openttd
10:47:16  <Eddi|zuHause> well, ok, but the suggested solution there is to use monthly throughput instead of currently waiting cargo
10:47:47  <peter1138> Hmm, town-name newgrfs are a bit clunky.
10:48:34  <peter1138> Add the newgrf, then go into game settings, what?
10:48:53  <andythenorth> peter1138: ikr :P
10:49:13  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: what about using station rating for cargo? o_O
10:49:36  <andythenorth> it's already available, and is conveniently a %, not an absolute value
10:50:14  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: doesn't sound right to me...
10:50:19  *** Smedles_ has quit IRC
10:50:43  <andythenorth> ok try the problem from another angle
10:50:52  <andythenorth> current spec uses 'little' and 'lots' thresholds
10:51:08  <andythenorth> but they're absolute values, so what values to set for those? o_O
10:51:48  <andythenorth> they vary so much by industry newgrf, industry random production at start, by play style, etc
10:52:51  <andythenorth> ideally we find a metric that isn't absolute, but is some ratio
10:54:40  <andythenorth> 'monthly throughput' has same problem
11:04:19  *** ToBeFree has joined #openttd
11:05:38  *** Wacko1976 has quit IRC
11:08:09  <Eddi|zuHause> vague algorithm sketch: 1) during industry production, increase a cargo counter on the station, 2) during tileloop, deduct the "low" limit from the station's memory, and add it onto the tile memory, 3) the tile memory fades after [high/low] tileloop cycles
11:09:27  <Eddi|zuHause> so, if the tileloop continuously transfers the full "low" amount to the tile, it will show the "high" sprite
11:09:51  <Eddi|zuHause> industry production happens vaguely at the same rate as the tileloop
11:10:46  *** Wacko1976 has joined #openttd
11:11:16  <Eddi|zuHause> if the tile memory ever falls below the "low" threshhold, it may switch cargos
11:13:14  <Eddi|zuHause> high/low ~ 8 would equate to about one month
11:14:23  <peter1138> how much storage space are you thinking per tile?
11:15:31  <Eddi|zuHause> not entirely sure, but a cargo index, and some amount, simulate the fading by some fancy maths instead of a shifting storage
11:15:44  <__ln__> let's say 1 gigabyte to be safe
11:16:27  <peter1138> Cargo type is currently 5 bits as is, maybe more soon.
11:17:09  <Eddi|zuHause> so 8 bit cargo, ? bit counter
11:18:39  *** berndj has quit IRC
11:20:23  <peter1138> So rail stations currently have 5 bits free.
11:20:29  <andythenorth> well we increased map array right? o_O
11:20:33  *** berndj has joined #openttd
11:20:34  <peter1138> Non-contiguous.
11:21:00  <peter1138> andythenorth, yeah but you can't keep reusing the bits you added :p
11:21:02  <Eddi|zuHause> there's, however, another piece missing: the station tiles don't necessarily react to the full set of cargos. so you could end up with the goods platform storing coal (displays nothing), the coal platform storing oil (displays nothing) and the oil platform storing passenges (displays nothing)
11:21:49  <peter1138> You actually can do it per station part.
11:23:05  <andythenorth> oh yeah station needs the railtype
11:23:06  <peter1138> There's an off-map storage for station parts (used to identify which newgrf station was built) which could include a CargoType and amount.
11:23:10  <andythenorth> it's not free bits :P
11:23:12  <andythenorth> silly andythenorth
11:23:51  <Eddi|zuHause> ok, i don't know enough of the details about station off-map storage

12:15:30  <Pikka> andythenorth, should I use nicknames for the mainline diesels? Is "type 1, type 2" too hard for the average player to differentiate? Or do the power classes help them understand which loco is "better"?
12:21:38  *** chomwitt has joined #openttd
12:24:11  <andythenorth> Pikka: I think it's all potato/potato
12:24:28  <andythenorth> nicknames take more work
12:24:37  <andythenorth> and I'm not sure they add any quality
12:24:49  <andythenorth> what are you doing for the steam engines?
12:25:01  <Pikka> perhaps. they just stand out a bit. but maybe that's a good thing.
12:25:17  <Pikka> mixture of nicknames, wheel-arrangement names and class numbers

12:27:17  <peter1138> The 8K better be high-res.
12:27:36  <Pikka> yes
12:29:46  <andythenorth> "type 1" etc is a bit bland eh? o_O
12:29:48  <andythenorth> but also fine
12:33:58  <Pikka> yes
12:34:16  <Pikka> also in the actual game they're "English Electric Type 1", "Sulzer Type 2" etc
12:36:01  <andythenorth> just do that :)

14:19:55  <Alberth> engine pulls wagons, wagons go zoeffff
14:21:31  <Alberth> more likely, people want realistic stats, like length down to the last nano meter
14:24:03  <andythenorth> I will add super realistic details
14:24:09  <andythenorth> for my fictional trains :)
14:25:15  <Alberth> cool :)
14:27:41  <Alberth> you can add a salesmans pitch :)
14:28:33  <Alberth> "great engine, moderately fast, but plenty of power for your coal lines"
14:28:52  <V453000> Pikka: I like the green lights showing which train is good at what :)
14:29:18  <Alberth> and no universal green I take it? :)
14:29:30  <V453000> :P
14:30:27  <Alberth> could be fun to add it, but make it so expensive to run, it's useless :p

14:43:44  <LordAro> ...oh no?
14:44:03  <Alberth> meh, 2.4 docs are not available any more
14:44:46  <andythenorth> something that needed careful work to port to 2.7, due to using a very large third party framework that was tied to 2.4
14:44:55  <andythenorth> very dull story
14:46:45  *** Progman has joined #openttd
15:04:52  <peter1138> Hmm, last 2.4 release was 10 years ago.
15:05:46  <peter1138> 3.0 was 10 years ago too, but nobody used it then :p

15:10:17  <andythenorth> wonder why we didn't use it :P
15:10:45  <andythenorth> we used some weird % string formatter, then converted it back if needing a float
15:10:52  <andythenorth> probably just clueless
15:11:52  <Alberth> I don't see how you can have a float with n digits, unless you throw away bits
15:12:21  <LordAro> iirc python's round() tends to do unexpected things anyway
15:12:56  <andythenorth> Alberth: it's vague memories tbh :)
15:13:34  <andythenorth> everything I did was inside http://restrictedpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
15:13:39  <Alberth> yep, the only sane form of n digits is to convert to string, and use that representation
15:13:55  <Alberth> or you do something like BCD
15:14:51  <Alberth> oh, restricted turing complete language eh?    Python gave up on that idea :)

16:10:05  *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
16:21:35  <_dp_> Alberth, what's the problem with having n digits in float? just don't expect it to be exactly the same
16:21:50  <_dp_> and there is always decimal for that kind of stuff
16:22:56  <Alberth> there is no such thing as n digits in a float, there are some X bits precision, and the last one decides the precision
16:23:38  <Alberth> and indeed, if you want n digits, either use integers and divide by 10**n afterwards, or use some package for it
16:25:02  <LordAro> @calc 0.1 + 0.2
16:25:02  <DorpsGek> LordAro: 0.3
16:25:05  <LordAro> bleh
16:25:11  <_dp_> Alberth, precision is decided by operations you do, if you want to work with n after the point digits just treat with 10**(-n-1) precision or smth like that
16:25:17  <Alberth> @calc 10-10*0.1
16:25:18  <DorpsGek> Alberth: 9
16:25:28  <Alberth> @calc 1-10*0.1
16:25:28  <DorpsGek> Alberth: 0

17:25:26  <andythenorth> I wondered about a French / Dutch / Belgian economy
17:25:42  <andythenorth> worried I might stumble into offensive stereotypes though :P
17:25:51  <Wolf01> Try italian one
17:25:55  <andythenorth> French economy is based on Cheese no?
17:26:04  <andythenorth> Wolf01: Italy has an economy? :o
17:26:20  <Wolf01> Yes, it's based on delocalizing to other countries
17:26:27  <andythenorth> and shoes
17:27:12  <Wolf01> And yesterday we lost the company which invented the "panettone"
17:27:13  <Eddi|zuHause> you mean boots?
17:27:23  <Eddi|zuHause> well, one single giant boot?
17:28:51  <Wolf01> We are surviving on furniture production in these years :/
17:32:27  <Eddi|zuHause> the ikea of the south?
17:32:47  <Wolf01> Yep, but the quality is a bit different
17:35:08  <Alberth> o/
