00:27:34  <Thedarkb> Hey, do you think there'll ever be an official Debian Buster build of OpenTTD?
00:27:56  <Thedarkb> The Jessie deb relies in dependencies no longer available on Debian.
00:28:16  <Eddi|zuHause> maybe with the next release?

00:33:25  *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai|noir
00:34:36  <glx> the main issue will be ICU anyway
00:36:24  <Thedarkb> You could just link it statically.
00:38:38  <glx> openttd still relies on stuff from old icu version
00:39:04  *** arikover has quit IRC
00:39:06  <Eddi|zuHause> static linking doesn't solve every problem
00:40:05  <Thedarkb> I just compiled 1.9.3 on libicu63

00:40:20  *** tokai has quit IRC
00:41:42  <Thedarkb> It seems to work on Buster's standard icu library.
00:41:48  <glx> https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/issues/6922 is still valid
00:41:59  <glx> try hebrew or arabic
00:42:37  <Thedarkb> Ah.
00:42:55  <Thedarkb> I see what you mean.

01:14:40  <Kitrana2> is there anyway to just mvoe a dfepot?
01:15:24  <Eddi|zuHause> there used to be a patch for that
01:17:15  <Kitrana2> used to be but isn;t anymore?
01:17:52  <Eddi|zuHause> https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/7051
01:20:00  <Kitrana2> so how does it work? do i hold control down when placing the new depot?
01:20:27  <glx> it works similar to stations IIRC
01:20:27  <Eddi|zuHause> you destroy the old depot, and it leaves a grey sign for a month, like destroying a station
01:20:31  *** Thedarkb has quit IRC
01:20:43  <Eddi|zuHause> then you place the depot and it'll keep all orders intact
01:27:24  <Kitrana2> i think you mean stations there not depots
01:27:54  <Eddi|zuHause> i meant exactly what i said
01:28:12  <Kitrana2> well i just tried that and it didn;t work
01:28:36  <Kitrana2> all the road vehicles that used that depot now have an invalid order in their list

10:36:33  <nielsm> hmm, how about towns keep track of how many of its passengers are delivered within the town, to nearby towns, and to distant towns? and maybe also how many passengers it receives from within/nearby/distant towns?=
10:36:43  <nielsm> and that data is made available to newgrf and gs
10:39:17  <nielsm> and same for mail
10:39:29  <nielsm> actually... just for every cargo I guess?

10:52:59  <Eddi|zuHause> for every towneffect, instead of every cargo maybe?
10:54:40  <nielsm> might also work
11:01:36  *** Etua has joined #openttd
11:03:11  <_dp_> what for though? can't gs do that already?
11:05:42  *** Etua has quit IRC
11:06:41  <nielsm> can it? I don't know
11:08:25  <_dp_> I'm not sure either since I'm doing it without gs but it should know cargo source and dest
11:09:18  <_dp_> and if it doesn't it's probably a better idea to let it know rather than doing something town-specific :p
11:13:38  <nielsm> gah I should just go unbind V for viewport
11:13:48  <nielsm> I never use them and I always hit it instead of B for bridges

11:36:05  <Eddi|zuHause> i somehow doubt GS has access to individual cargo deliveries
11:37:41  <nielsm> maybe setting up tracking via goals? but that's limited to the goals set up
11:52:36  *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
11:58:46  *** Etua has joined #openttd
11:59:55  <andythenorth> well
12:00:54  <frosch123> http://nogo.openttd.org/api/1.9.0/classGSCargoMonitor.html <- gs can track amount delivered by source and destination, but not by individual source/destination pairs
12:02:54  <frosch123> when using cdist you can also track cargo flows between specific stations
12:03:30  <nielsm> hm

12:05:17  *** Etua has quit IRC
12:05:33  <nielsm> I've seen some mention that they don't always work/appear to not pick up on all deliveries for some reason
12:05:52  <nielsm> or add the same deliveries double in some cases perhaps
12:06:16  <frosch123> i filed that under myths and rumours
12:06:36  <frosch123> cargo actually must be delivered
12:06:54  <frosch123> possibly source stations must still exist on delivery and similar
12:07:12  <frosch123> but i never encountered issues with nocargoal and siliconvalley
12:07:46  <andythenorth> I lovingly gave Sam ships names https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/9504/sam-names.png
12:07:59  <andythenorth> but now it's much harder to use, compared to https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/9505/sam-no-names.png
12:08:00  <andythenorth> :D
12:08:31  <andythenorth> suggestions? :P
12:08:52  <nielsm> add icons to the purchase menu sprites?
12:09:04  <frosch123> Henson Freigther -> Freighter 'Henson'
12:09:34  <frosch123> (not quite serious suggestion)
12:10:44  <andythenorth> the second suggestion works IMHO
12:10:54  <andythenorth> it's inconsistent with trains, but eh
12:10:56  <frosch123> hmm, if you do not play the game, you miss gems like "sprites complete:"
12:12:11  <andythenorth> yes
12:12:20  <andythenorth> project management stuff :P
12:12:30  <andythenorth> it's in the html docs too, but the html docs aren't published
12:12:35  <frosch123> andythenorth: you still assume that people know the difference between a freighter and a barge
12:12:48  <frosch123> so, not sure whether the naming actually matters
12:13:07  <andythenorth> yeah, 'piece goods' has similar issue
12:14:16  *** Thedarkb has quit IRC
12:14:37  <andythenorth> there's something 'off' about the ship buy menu
12:14:45  <andythenorth> at least, at 2x zoom on my small screen
12:14:51  <andythenorth> dunno what it is, train menu is fine
12:15:21  <frosch123> ships are not supposed to get clipped on left/right side
12:15:33  <frosch123> we fixed that at least twice, and it still does not work always :)
12:15:54  <andythenorth> working fine for me
12:16:05  <andythenorth> I think it's the 2x zoom + giant sprites
12:16:09  <frosch123> https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/9504/sam-names.png <- last one in the list
12:16:21  <andythenorth> I considered making the buy menu sprites 0.5x zoomed, using PIL
12:16:34  <andythenorth> but then people at 1x UI zoom have tiny ships :|
12:17:20  <andythenorth> https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/9506/sam-half-zoom.png
12:18:21  <frosch123> still looks fine to be when zooming out with browser zoom
12:18:42  <frosch123> you may need 32bpp for anti-aliasing though
12:19:26  <andythenorth> btw, that last ship just has square ends, no bug :)
12:19:31  <andythenorth> maybe looks wrong dunno
12:20:09  <frosch123> ok :) looked buggy to me
12:20:24  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: so how does that look on 1x half-zoom?
12:20:48  <andythenorth> I could try it and see? :P
12:21:06  <andythenorth> there's precedent, we scale airport UI sprites?
12:23:49  <frosch123> yes
12:24:18  <frosch123> we made a grf which replaced ground sprites with pure black
12:24:37  <frosch123> then built airports, made screenshots, and scaled them with gimp or so
12:24:44  <nielsm> heh
12:24:52  <nielsm> hax!
12:25:27  <frosch123> hmm, or was it white?
12:26:01  <nielsm> as long as it floodfills cleanly it should be fine
12:26:10  <nielsm> or at least is unique RGB value
12:26:32  <frosch123> 330 Aug  5  2010 barewhite.grf
12:26:35  <Eddi|zuHause> magic pink!
12:26:36  <frosch123> yeah, white
12:26:57  <nielsm> make an MP server forcing that on everyone :D
12:27:24  <frosch123> there were mp servers which used debug-vehicles...
12:27:33  <Eddi|zuHause> grfcodec should throw a fit when you got white pixels in sprites?
12:27:49  <frosch123> that does not block it from encoding it
12:27:50  <nielsm> I think it warns but permits
12:32:05  <andythenorth> I use barewhite to make FIRS docs images
12:32:10  <andythenorth> pretty handy
12:35:03  <andythenorth> ha ha we have 50% curly quotes
12:35:06  <andythenorth> but only 50%
12:35:07  <andythenorth> "

12:37:27  <andythenorth> is that just needing a glyph in the font? o_O

13:09:51  <andythenorth> ha
13:11:21  <glx> emoji support would need an auto select font system each time a string has to be drawn, and for at least 3 different OS
13:12:25  *** Etua has joined #openttd
13:12:39  <milek7> i think emoijs in Unicode are silly
13:12:42  <milek7> even more with skin color modifiers etc.
13:15:10  <glx> unicode already supports combining glyphs, so using unicode for emojis is not an issue
13:15:54  <Eddi|zuHause> the issue here is font selection, not unicode or empji
13:16:37  <glx> yeah, font selection would be nice for normal text
13:18:05  <glx> emoji will just be a bonus
13:18:55  <glx> but replacing ICU ParagraphLayout is more important ;)
13:19:18  <DorpsGek_III> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] Eddi-z commented on issue #7762: Emoji results in question mark 😀 🠚 ? https://git.io/JeCLb
13:20:06  <Thedarkb> glx, It's word wrapping that's the issue, right?
13:20:39  <glx> not only, all RTL supports depends on it
13:25:19  <glx> it's probably doable combining basic ICU and harfbuzz, but somebody™ needs to do it

13:47:20  <nielsm> unless we ship our own emoji font with the game and ensures it always gets used for the range
13:48:25  <glx> then we'll need to add more emojis
13:48:42  <glx> the list is endless :)
13:48:55  <Thedarkb> Can you build OpenTTD without icu?
13:49:10  <Thedarkb> For ASCII characters.
13:49:14  <glx> yes on macOS and windows :)
13:49:18  <frosch123> yes, but it won't support rtl
13:49:47  <frosch123> so, icu is only needed for hebrew, arabic, tamil and similar
13:49:48  <glx> with recent ICU it's already the case IIRC
13:50:19  <nielsm> main requirement for TT-themed emojis: https://0x0.st/zwLx.png

14:30:21  <andythenorth> resizing buy menu images has terrible results :D
14:30:39  <andythenorth> downscaling is horrible, no surprise
14:33:50  <andythenorth> maybe I should play on 1x UI zoom
14:33:54  * andythenorth tries it
14:34:11  <andythenorth> oof nope

14:39:49  <andythenorth> can't hear the audio, my fan is too loud
14:40:24  <andythenorth> would be brilliant sarcasm, except it's true
14:48:04  <andythenorth> is this crop too tight vertically? https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/9508/sam-closer-crop.png

14:49:02  <Eddi|zuHause> what are we looking at?
14:51:40  <andythenorth> boats
14:51:42  <andythenorth> in OpenTTD
14:52:14  <andythenorth> the buy menu is very unusable at 2x zoom
14:52:25  <andythenorth> but OpenTTD is very unusable for me at 1x zoom
14:53:02  <andythenorth> experimenting with smaller vertical crop on the ships, to increase the density of the menu
14:53:44  <andythenorth> 'probably fine'
14:54:56  *** debdog has joined #openttd
14:58:33  <Eddi|zuHause> i'm still not understanding what the difference between the pictures is
15:01:10  <FLHerne> andythenorth: How about always just using the 1x sprites for the menu?
15:02:18  <andythenorth> how?
15:03:16  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: buy menu row height 24px versus 32px
15:03:39  <andythenorth> so for my viewport size, 10 ships fit for 24px, where only 8 fit for 32px
15:03:42  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: provide 2x versions the same size as the 1x ones?
15:03:54  * andythenorth looks
15:03:58  <Eddi|zuHause> (checking var10 or so)
15:04:35  <andythenorth> I can't see a var for game client UI zoom setting
15:04:37  <Eddi|zuHause> extra_callback_info1 & 0x20
15:04:46  <Eddi|zuHause> you don't check the zoom
15:04:54  <Eddi|zuHause> you just provide zoom sprites
15:05:04  <Eddi|zuHause> that aren't actually zoomed
15:05:12  <andythenorth> and openttd automatically uses the smaller ones?
15:05:19  <Eddi|zuHause> yes
15:05:35  * andythenorth doesn't understand
15:05:47  <andythenorth> how do I over-ride the user's UI zoom setting without checking it as a var?
15:06:01  <Eddi|zuHause> normal sprite: only 1x zoom => openttd automatically scales x2, x4 because they're missing
15:06:18  <andythenorth> so it cascades?
15:06:21  <andythenorth> interesting
15:06:22  <Eddi|zuHause> gui sprite: provide 1x,2x,4x zoom => openttd uses the sprite provided
15:06:36  <andythenorth> yes that makes sense now
15:08:03  <andythenorth> alternative_sprites block eh?
15:10:42  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, that
15:10:50  <andythenorth> first time for everything
15:11:05  <Eddi|zuHause> and make sure it's only used for the purchase menu by checking extra_callback_info1
15:13:32  <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: that doesn't work. 2x and 1x zoom sprites have the same size
15:13:50  <frosch123> ottd does not compute different window layouts for different zoom levels
15:14:23  <frosch123> well, that is worded incorrectly... no idea how to phrase it better
15:15:00  <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: i don't understand what you mean
15:15:02  <frosch123> let's say: the size of a sprite is a shared property of all zoom levels
15:15:45  <frosch123> so if you make the 2x zoom sprite smaller, you add a lot of empty padding space

15:21:01  <jack__> I have a railway build where multiply trains drive over the same track and by the and station will camedown 2 drifferent railways that drop off there stuff by the same station. but i can't build a good station plus railway so that the trains can drive smoothly from station to station. have you tips for my?
15:26:30  <nielsm> hmm
15:26:42  <nielsm> are they driving slow?
15:27:16  <nielsm> or are they blocked all the time?
15:27:48  <jack__> th traisn drive but to a build fold in th system they blocked the other trains.
15:30:01  <nielsm> it's hard to say without seeing your build, my general tips are to make sure there is lots of space, avoid sharp turns, and to use path signals (not block signals or pre-signals)
15:30:57  <nielsm> and placing signals has a rule of thumb: place signals before danger points, avoid placing signals so a train stopped at the signal would block a danger point
15:31:07  <jack__> i can upload a save file to onedrive so that you can wath it?
15:31:22  <nielsm> that works too :)
15:31:27  <nielsm> yes
15:32:00  <jack__> i send you the the newest there i have the most money
15:34:28  <jack__> her can you download the file :
15:34:30  <jack__> https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqNz1s1u3YLsh3IDCgPZvV0uCcR9
15:34:38  <nielsm> and just because, here's a screenshot of my own current chaos: https://0x0.st/zw9y.jpg
15:36:05  <nielsm> ooh, a sub-arctic game, yeah those can be a bit of a challenge especially with mountains :D
15:37:12  <jack__> it gose to the stations: new Hamingwell to Prenbridge Woud and Hamingwell to numdinfhead wood
15:39:02  <Eddi|zuHause> oh fun, a download button that does nothing...
15:39:41  <FLHerne> Button worksforme
15:39:51  <Eddi|zuHause> the entry at the top works
15:39:52  <jack__> Eddi|zuHause i will try it on a other browser
15:39:57  <Eddi|zuHause> but the button in the center doesn'T
15:40:09  <nielsm> jack__: the main problem is tht you use too many signals, especially the two-way block signals
15:40:36  <FLHerne> Two-way block signals are almost /always/ the wrong thing ;-)
15:40:42  <nielsm> https://0x0.st/zw9x.png  <- as-is, with the trains sent to depot
15:40:52  <jack__> nielsm i now iám not that good in multie train and i have experiment a lot
15:41:25  <Eddi|zuHause> 1st step: remove the tracks at the other end of the station
15:41:52  <jack__> Eddi|zuHause i willdo that
15:42:26  <Eddi|zuHause> 2nd step: change all signals to path signals, facing towards the junction
15:42:46  <jack__> i works (for now) the trains drive to and from the station.
15:43:25  <Eddi|zuHause> well, in the current setup, it'll lock up easily
15:44:03  <nielsm> here's what I've done: https://0x0.st/zw93.jpg
15:44:21  <nielsm> I doubled the track from the tunnel all the way to the junction before the station
15:44:26  <nielsm> removed the tracks at the station end
15:44:30  <nielsm> removed all the signals
15:44:54  <nielsm> placed one-way path signals on the track to Prenbridge Woods, so each track has a fixed direction it works in
15:45:18  *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
15:45:31  <jack__> nielsm, i will do that.
15:45:54  <nielsm> before the entry from the single-track line from Nundinghead Woods, I placed a two-way path signal, facing towards the line, so trains will have to wait before they go into the station, but can leave without waiting at a signal
15:46:51  <nielsm> I also changed the signals around Prenbridge Woods to form a single-direction circle with one-way path signals: https://0x0.st/zw9g.png
15:47:08  *** vanessa[m] has joined #openttd
15:47:41  <nielsm> the place the red arrow is pointing to had a two-way block signal, remove that since it will just make trains attempt to go through the single track section from both directions, meet in the middle, and both turn around
15:48:14  <nielsm> when that signal is removed, only one train will ever try to go through the single track section at a time, making it safe
15:49:20  <jack__> nielsm: the single direction is what i always want with this design but the standard ai not now what to do with out signals
15:52:25  <nielsm> my wisdom: use one-way path signals most of the time, use two-way path signals when needed, avoid using block and pre-signals
15:52:28  <nielsm> :)
15:53:07  <jack__> i have test it a bit on fast forward and it works. thanks for the help. this let made my for money :)
15:53:25  <jack__> * for = more
15:54:22  <FLHerne> jack__: I'm just making some examples of different signal setups
15:54:53  <Eddi|zuHause> jack__: you especially need to avoid putting signals on one-track sections, like this one https://i.imgur.com/BcbrYfZ.png
15:55:28  <Eddi|zuHause> because once 2 trains are on this sections, they can stand opposite each other with nowhere to go
15:56:24  <jack__> Eddi|zuHause: that is also my experience
15:57:01  <Eddi|zuHause> jack__: so only put signals where trains have an alternate route around
15:57:10  <Eddi|zuHause> jack__: and have signals have a direction
15:57:54  <Eddi|zuHause> jack__: rule of thumb: if a signal is giving you trouble, remove it.
15:58:08  <jack__> but it what for situation i need 2 way signals?
15:58:21  <glx> it's for 2-way tracks
15:58:27  <glx> but rarely a good idea
15:58:46  <Eddi|zuHause> there's almost never a good use case for the plain 2-way signal
15:58:54  <jack__> that is what if have not don. if have put more of it :)
16:00:21  <jack__> i most gone bye

17:26:04  <andythenorth> 'Piece Goods Carrier' is not exactly great name though
17:26:16  <Eddi|zuHause> "palette" sounds more like stake car

20:59:50  <andythenorth> it's not even a bad idea
20:59:55  <supermop_Home_> would be nice
21:00:21  <andythenorth> I always turn trees off now, they're spam

21:04:03  <Eddi|zuHause> turning trees off is also not great, because after some time you wonder why all towns hate you

21:25:38  <Thedarkb> Perhaps a build without RTL support might be an option for Debian and Ubuntu users?
21:26:01  <LordAro> i believe that's what's being done for the official debian packages

21:28:00  <Thedarkb> I didn't know about those, to be honest.
21:28:15  <Thedarkb> I wonder if they're up to date.

22:06:17  <Eddi|zuHause> "official debian packages" and "up to date" doesn't really fit in the same sentence
22:06:40  <LordAro> Eddi|zuHause: debian unstable*
22:06:43  <LordAro> :p
22:07:44  <Eddi|zuHause> LordAro: i don't think that helps much :p

22:25:24  <glx> I fear to suggest another rebase
22:26:20  <Eddi|zuHause> just squash all the commits?
22:27:05  <glx> he already failed to squash commits
22:27:20  <glx> everytime he rebases, it just adds a new commit
22:28:00  <glx> and now the commit checker fails
22:28:55  <Eddi|zuHause> he made merge commits instead of rebasing?
22:29:17  <glx> no he somehow created empty commits
22:29:35  <glx> and duplicate commits too
22:32:13  <_dp_> crazy idea of the day: make mmorpg in openttd xD
