12:17:22  <V453000> hm? :D
12:17:25  <V453000> oh :)
12:17:37  <V453000> looks like nobody even gives a shit eh
12:17:45  <V453000> nobody connected since yesterday
12:22:11  <planetmaker> !rcon companies
12:22:11  <PublicServer> planetmaker: #:1(Orange) Company Name: 'Skyscrapist inc.'  Year Founded: 2269  Money: 71262286375  Loan: 0  Value: 71326066866  (T:2920, R:36, P:0, S:0) unprotected
12:22:22  <planetmaker> too cpu hungry, I'd say
12:22:38  <V453000> most of them arent running
12:23:01  <planetmaker> what are they doing then?
12:23:05  <V453000> waiting in stations
12:29:28  <Mark> 512^2 is rather large for a metropolis game
12:29:40  <Mark> even 256^2 is almost unplayable when fully covered
12:32:14  <V453000> that is not the real problem I think, still enough people have strong enough pc to play, there are just too many problems on the map to fix it. ML is underestimated and many Sbahns were underestimated so much that they can be rebuilt from scratch
12:32:28  <V453000> which is basically like starting the game which nobody is really interested in obviously
12:33:50  <V453000> so my suggestion is fuck the game, play another one and perhaps try something similar to this sometime later again
12:33:53  <Rhamphoryncus> I've been poking around in the renderer using a skyscrapist save.  Although game logic is the large CPU user at normal zoom, if you zoom out at all the graphics overtake it
12:34:14  <Rhamphoryncus> And there's a lot of unnecessary drawing going on
12:34:37  <Rhamphoryncus> Often half or more of the screen on every tick
12:34:44  <Mark> so who's got a new map? :)
12:35:05  <V453000> I do
12:35:29  <Rhamphoryncus> I made a donut heightmap in gimp.  I doubt my SP map choices are good for openttdcoop though :)
12:36:14  <V453000> want a RV game?
12:36:22  <V453000> a proper RV game
12:37:42  <Mark> sure
12:46:30  <V453000> and like now or wait till evening?
12:49:02  <Mark> wont be here tonight
12:49:04  <Mark> whatever :P
12:49:13  <V453000> no point in waiting anyway I guess

13:36:20  <PublicServer> *** V453000 joined the game
13:36:32  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Is this an rv game?
13:36:37  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> not necessarily
13:36:48  <PublicServer> <V453000> asking yourself?
13:36:58  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> V's plan is a RV plan
13:37:00  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Ok
13:37:51  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> So
13:37:55  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> The money cheating thing
13:38:05  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Normally you do the moneymakers?
13:38:23  <PublicServer> <V453000> if it makes sense on the map, yes, but why care?
13:38:41  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Because it is cheating
13:38:47  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> it's not
13:38:49  <PublicServer> <V453000> not really
13:39:03  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Even though it is pretty easy to make money with the money makers with the server's settings
13:39:05  <PublicServer> <V453000> it is still equally easy to get 1000 trains on a map
13:39:16  <PublicServer> <V453000> OpenTTD is 100% not about money
13:39:34  <PublicServer> <V453000> ok 99%, given the first 15 minutes you care about a good start
13:40:04  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> On this server
13:40:30  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> If you change the settings, it can be very hard to make enough money for a good network
13:40:46  <Mark> in the long run its either easy or impossible
13:41:03  <Mark> if you know the game well enough
13:41:10  <Mark> we only care about the network
13:41:25  <V453000> if you make the game "hard" then all you need to do is fast forward often
13:41:31  <V453000> game difficulty does not change at all
13:41:40  <V453000> you just wait more for money
13:41:57  <Mark> unless you got settings which make it impossible to make money
13:42:13  <Mark> so its either impossible or easy or just boring
13:42:20  <V453000> sure
13:42:31  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> there plan done
13:42:46  <V453000> but also if you make just some "hard" settings so the least profittable networks do not work, you just eliminate some possibilities which OpenTTD gives you
13:42:48  <V453000> which is imo dumb
13:43:04  <PublicServer> <V453000> seriously, TL3? :D
13:43:47  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> yup

13:44:05  <PublicServer> *** Mark joined the game
13:44:12  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> TTT better for this small map?
13:44:24  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> What does TTT stand for?
13:44:26  <PublicServer> <V453000> yes and takes about 20 times more space Ryton .)
13:44:33  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> Two Tile Trains
13:44:33  <Mark> two/three tile trains
13:44:39  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> so TTT = TL2
13:44:42  <PublicServer> <V453000> Absolutis: 64x256 really isnt for any trains I think
13:44:52  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Ah
13:45:10  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> TTT could also stand for Ten Tile Trains
13:45:16  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> or Thousand Tile Trains
13:45:32  <Mark> think its supposed to be two or three
13:45:35  <Rhamphoryncus> Why not TL1?  :D
13:45:39  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> sure
13:45:41  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> :D
13:45:53  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> well, try something new?
13:46:17  <Rhamphoryncus> New?  How about bidirectional tracks?
13:46:23  <PublicServer> <V453000> omfg
13:46:26  <Ryton> lol :D
13:46:31  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Lol
13:46:42  <Ryton> or a merge before split MSH :p
13:46:54  <Rhamphoryncus> !password
13:46:54  <PublicServer> Rhamphoryncus: pulpit
13:47:00  <PublicServer> <V453000> well TL1 still takes a lot of space Absolutis and making TL1 on maglev makes you have a really bad acceleration
13:47:03  <Mark> bidirectional tracks has been done...
13:47:05  <PublicServer> *** Rhamphoryncus joined the game
13:47:10  <Mark> first game after pbs got introduced
13:47:28  <Rhamphoryncus> awww
13:47:31  <Mark> which is quite a while ago
13:47:49  <PublicServer> <V453000> bidirectional tracks is mainly utterly useless
13:48:04  <PublicServer> <Rhamphoryncus> Mainly, but this map is small enough that it might work
13:48:08  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> You could have a three track with a bidirectional in the middle
13:48:10  <Mark> yeah it was an absolute mess
13:48:13  <Mark> were you there, V?
13:48:23  <PublicServer> <V453000> no
13:48:51  <Mark> was a disaster
13:49:01  <PublicServer> <Rhamphoryncus> Hrm.  Okay, so it'd just hope to be entertainingly bad XD
13:49:11  <PublicServer> <V453000> Hazzard: , Rhamphoryncus: any bidirectional track has much lower throughput than a 1way track, and it doesnt help in any way as the total throughput of such 3track design still is L_R
13:49:34  <Mark> oh my titlegame lost
13:49:43  <Mark> i knew i should've uploaded my treehugger game
13:49:46  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> 3 way is pretty useless without breakdowns
13:49:58  <Ryton> should have raised some voters for it here, mark
13:50:13  <Mark> i wasnt even here :P
13:50:13  <V453000> I did vote
13:50:18  <Mark> for me? :D
13:50:36  <Mark> how sweet of you :)
13:50:46  <V453000> ohg that horseshit bluescreen won?
13:51:13  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Absolutis, what does the A stand for in your plan?
13:51:23  <PublicServer> <V453000> his name
13:51:27  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> yep
13:51:35  <PublicServer> <V453000> which I should do as well
13:51:38  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> to distinguish it from other station of the same name
13:52:07  <Mark> sc79's was better
13:52:18  <Mark> not as good as this though:

13:52:49  <Absolutis> :P
13:53:18  <Ryton> pff, that'll be on there for a year? :'(
13:53:26  <Ryton> I'll have to stop playing then :P
13:53:39  <V453000> not in nightlies
13:53:43  <Rhamphoryncus> You can drop your own in .openttd
13:53:50  <V453000> and ^
13:54:44  <Rhamphoryncus> Most of the titlegame entries were noisy enough to hurt my head.  People try to fit EVERYTHING on them.  x_x
13:54:50  <PublicServer> <Mark> i propose a ship game
13:54:56  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> ._.
13:55:31  <PublicServer> <Absolutis> and for your modification of SL stations, hazzard a better phrase would be: try to keep the production over 80% as having it bigger than that has no bonus
13:55:49  <V453000> RAMMAR was the best
13:55:53  <V453000> Mark: dont you dare

18:08:22  <mfb-> hmm
18:08:29  <mfb-> I think we can begin voting
18:08:51  <PublicServer> <mfb> I don't expect any new interesting plans
18:09:01  <mfb-> or they are so interesting that they get votes anyway

18:10:05  <planetmaker> <mfb> I don't expect any new interesting plans <-- that statement is especially interesting, if you made a plan ;-)
18:10:17  <PublicServer> <mfb> I did not :p
18:10:27  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> ^^ than please do.
18:10:28  <planetmaker> :-)
18:11:13  *** ODM has quit IRC
18:12:00  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> I asked if i can vote, and now i am torn between Hazzards plan and V's one...
18:13:07  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> And btw, did toyland sprites change, or i just used to them a little, cos they are not so terrible to look at now.

18:13:25  <PublicServer> <mfb> maybe some newGRF
18:14:07  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> But trees are still terrible here. turned them on for a sec...
18:15:04  <PublicServer> <mfb> was there any pax RV game yet?
18:15:41  <PublicServer> <mfb> and would it be possible to make an interesting plan with that?
18:15:42  <mfb-> hmm
18:16:21  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> you switched from game client to irc there. It looks ike you are talking to yourself ^^.
18:17:03  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> Are you considering creating RV pax plan now?
18:18:05  <PublicServer> <mfb> considering.. yes
18:18:23  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> Btw, why such a small map? Community is shrinking, or just for RV fast RV game?
18:18:41  <PublicServer> <mfb> for a nice RV game
18:18:55  <PublicServer> <mfb> would be possible to fill the whole map with towns
18:19:02  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> true that
18:19:04  <PublicServer> <mfb> just grow the existing ones
18:19:22  <PublicServer> <mfb> but RV pax transport is nearly trivial
18:19:45  <PublicServer> <mfb> so maybe the result would look nice, but building is too boring
18:20:27  <PublicServer> *** mfb has left the game (leaving)
18:20:37  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> When i saw such a small map i was afraid openTTDCoop was dieying. And even thou i am not too active It would be sad day.
18:21:30  <mfb-> the player record was set only 15 games ago
18:21:50  <mfb-> and 512^2 is still the most common size
18:22:00  <planetmaker> 512^2 is default
18:22:14  <planetmaker> the bigger the map, the less people can enjoy the game
18:22:42  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> I remember time when i had 1Mb connection
18:23:08  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> and the first time i was here i was dropping after one minute
18:24:10  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> I am at the stage when I know most of contraptions here, but I am not too comfortable building them.
18:25:38  <planetmaker> Thorinbur, the connection speed does not play a major role as long as it's reasonably fast in order to download the map in a few seconds
18:26:01  <planetmaker> once connected, a dial-up is sufficient
18:26:03  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> well i was dropping when i had 1Mb. Desyncing easily.
18:26:19  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> hmm... tham it might have been proc on my old laptop
18:26:23  <planetmaker> connection loss != desync ;-)
18:27:07  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> but i was running the same map in single fine
18:27:41  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> but maybe slowdown was too small to really notice but still made me desync? Not sure know.
18:28:01  <planetmaker> Yes. No networking needed = less CPU. And a small amount slower than needed won't be noticed either
18:28:18  <planetmaker> And please mind: desync != connection loss. Please don't use desync for that
18:28:29  <planetmaker> It's a totally different thing. And the server will not say desync then
18:28:33  <planetmaker> desync is a bug
18:28:52  <planetmaker> where clients and server disagree on how to continue
18:28:58  <planetmaker> connection loss = you're too slow
18:29:57  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> well I played RUSE i know how desync looks. But thought you can use it to situation when you are out of sync, because cannot simulate fast enought.
18:30:12  <planetmaker> no...
18:30:17  <planetmaker> that's lag

18:31:07  <PublicServer> Firestar: wailed
18:31:11  <planetmaker> Thus if you speak of 'desync' but not mean it, it's bad. Especially as it implies that you encounter bugs (while you actually don't)
18:31:21  <PublicServer> *** Firestar joined the game
18:32:02  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> about RUSE i was talking about desync, about OpenTTD i was missusing the term than.
18:32:10  <planetmaker> and without knowing the details of the networking protocol of the other game (or both), it's pointless to say you can compare it
18:32:55  <planetmaker> Most likely in the other game most calculations are done server-side. Thus it's correct. But that is NOT correct with OpenTTD.
18:33:20  <planetmaker> Thus for most games desync can happen due to lag. With OpenTTD it cannot
18:33:25  <planetmaker> due to the way networking works
18:34:20  <PublicServer> *** Firestar has left the game (leaving)
18:34:24  *** Firestar has left #openttdcoop
18:34:45  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> RUSE had no dedicated servers. And sometimes on one side client thought that lets say Tiger tank was destroyed and on the other side it was AT gun being destroyed.
18:35:23  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> From that point whole thing was spiralling out of controll since ghost tiger was able to kill units, and on the other side those units were alive
18:35:33  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> and only thing working than was production orders
18:35:55  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> And 99% both sides were winning games due to opponents inactivity
18:36:09  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> and both had their rankings increased...
18:36:51  <PublicServer> <Thorinbur> heh RUSE, awesome game, but died in 2 months from premiere, when patches were introducing more bugs than fixing

19:11:28  <PublicServer> <bassals> fib(4)
19:12:23  <PublicServer> <bassals> is that the 4th fibonacci number?
19:12:27  <mfb-> right
19:12:55  <PublicServer> <V453000> it isnt?
19:13:01  <PublicServer> <V453000> 0 1 1 2 3 5?
19:13:19  <PublicServer> <bassals> yes, that's the usual definition
19:13:27  <mfb-> 1 1 2 3?
19:13:47  <mfb-> hmm
19:13:50  <PublicServer> <V453000> I thought so, always n + n+1 = n+2 ?
19:13:53  <mfb-> I don't know who added it
19:14:10  <mfb-> n + n+1 = n+2 is true for both sequences
19:14:17  <mfb-> one just begins with a different number
19:14:24  <mfb-> which shifts everything by 1 inde
19:14:26  <mfb-> x.
19:14:36  <mfb-> oh, and you can define fib(0)=0
19:14:38  <PublicServer> <V453000> oh
19:14:41  <mfb-> in that case it is fine
19:14:48  <PublicServer> <V453000> :)
19:15:28  <mfb-> there are two sorts of computer scientists: 1. they begin their arrays with 1 or 1. they begin their arrays with 0
19:16:03  <V453000> yes :)
19:17:07  <PublicServer> <V453000> mfb: it is pzg 17 ofc :) not 91
19:17:09  <PublicServer> <V453000> 19
19:19:15  <PublicServer> <bassals> would a railroad ring like that for Abso's fit in such a narrow island?
19:19:34  <PublicServer> <V453000> I dont think any railroad is fitting for a map this small tbh
19:20:28  <PublicServer> <V453000> but fitting ... if it it 1way ring, it basically becomes L_50_R on a map like this

19:57:31  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> no other newgrfs, so original RV's?
19:57:47  <Firestar> yeah
19:58:06  <PublicServer> *** Firestar joined the game
19:58:11  <PublicServer> <V453000> sure
19:58:33  <PublicServer> <V453000> I dont think any newGRF has cargo sprites for toyland cargoes
19:58:53  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> no, but some other newgrfs are available
19:58:56  <PublicServer> <Firestar> except  mars convertion but its not on bananas
19:59:06  <PublicServer> <V453000> mars is ok but has ugly roads
19:59:31  <PublicServer> <Firestar> rails too
19:59:33  <PublicServer> <V453000> Troy McClure: which "other" newgrfs? .)
19:59:40  <PublicServer> <V453000> rails in mars are amazing
19:59:45  <mfb-> :D
20:00:00  <PublicServer> <Firestar> once there could be a game with mars trains
20:00:22  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> newgrfs so the landscape doesnt hurt my yes
20:00:33  <PublicServer> <Firestar> japanese landscape
20:01:00  <PublicServer> <V453000> idk, doesnt hurt my eyes
20:01:08  <PublicServer> <V453000> japanese landscape removes the roads that are here
20:01:28  <PublicServer> <Firestar> and modifies the whole landscape
20:01:33  <mfb-> Firestar: psg199?
20:01:36  <PublicServer> <V453000> dont you say :)
20:02:31  <PublicServer> <Firestar> which rv is the fastest again? here
20:02:33  <Troy_McClure> See I did you there what
20:02:55  <PublicServer> <V453000> not sure about speeds
20:03:01  <PublicServer> <V453000> but normal RVs have 112kmh
20:03:07  <PublicServer> <V453000> bus maybe 128 not sure
20:03:15  <PublicServer> <V453000> but I dont think that bus is here
20:03:18  <PublicServer> <V453000> how does that matter anyhow?
20:03:40  <PublicServer> <Firestar> just wanted to change subject
20:05:19  <PublicServer> <Firestar> at least public isnt using basecosts mod
20:06:42  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> there are other penalties on heavy TFing and shit hehe :)
20:07:24  <PublicServer> <V453000> well nobody dares to make a canyon through a mountain here
20:07:36  <PublicServer> <V453000> and rest of the basecosts is actually making stuff cheaper, like wagons or running costs
20:07:39  <PublicServer> <Firestar> i would
20:07:49  <PublicServer> <V453000> really?
20:07:49  <PublicServer> <Firestar> but not TF
20:07:53  <PublicServer> <Firestar> yes+
20:07:55  <PublicServer> <V453000> lol
20:08:18  <PublicServer> <Firestar> ?
20:08:49  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> you'd make a canyon, without TFing...
20:08:55  <mfb-> how do you create a canyon without TF?
20:08:57  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> must be Moses or somekind
20:09:21  <mfb-> to play moses, you need a higher water level
20:09:28  <PublicServer> <V453000> :D
20:09:31  <PublicServer> <Firestar> i think you misunderstood me
20:09:40  <PublicServer> <V453000> no I think you misunderstood us :)
20:09:50  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> ^^
20:10:24  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> TFing=Terraforming: making use of raise/lower/equal land tool
20:10:44  <PublicServer> <Firestar> with TF i meant basecosts mod makes TF much more expensive and that i would make a canyon WITH TF
20:10:55  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> ah
20:10:58  <PublicServer> <Firestar> and i know what TF means
20:11:13  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> I was going to explain canyon nest :D
20:11:19  <PublicServer> <Troy McClure> *next
20:11:35  <mfb-> long tunnels :)
20:11:39  <PublicServer> <Firestar> well Austria has got enough canyons
20:11:42  <mfb-> 10+ long tunnels :D
20:11:55  <PublicServer> <Firestar> 64 tunnels
20:11:56  <mfb-> if it jams, add more tunnels
20:11:58  <mfb-> simple thing
20:12:40  <PublicServer> <Firestar> actually there is no screenshotof the previous game
20:12:42  <mfb-> I think the higherst number I saw in a psg (not counting the maglev pattern tunnels) was 7 per direction
20:12:58  <PublicServer> <Firestar> and bridge lenght?
20:13:26  <mfb-> hmm
20:13:38  <mfb-> the snow-town psg had something like 5 parallel bridges
20:13:48  <mfb-> (per direction)
20:14:06  <PublicServer> <Firestar> oh yeah and ive been actually playing nfs carbon racing through the canyons
20:14:16  <PublicServer> <Firestar> and how long were these bridges?

21:32:05  <DrSpangle> i was hoping to get someone to evaluate my track design

21:32:40  *** ODM has quit IRC
21:32:48  <mfb-> which track design?

21:33:36  <DrSpangle> yes
21:33:45  <DrSpangle> shall i hand you over a savegame file?

21:34:55  <DrSpangle> i'd have to give you maybe 10 screenshots to capture the relevant points

21:37:38  <V453000> then upload it there?
21:38:08  <DrSpangle> sorry, i misunderstood what you meant. you will need an account in order to access the file i'm uploading if i put it on dropbox
21:38:26  <mfb-> really? in that case, upload it somewhere else
21:38:34  <DrSpangle> sure, let me find a suitable place
21:39:21  <Troy_McClure> you could build in welcome server too, and ask for tips there
21:39:30  <V453000> he surely doesnt need a dropbox if you want to download a file
21:39:45  <DrSpangle> perhaps i could email you the savegame, it's not very large at all
21:40:11  <V453000> you have dropbox?
21:40:14  <DrSpangle> i do
21:40:23  <DrSpangle> i want to send the file to him, who are you addressing
21:40:36  <V453000> then upload it by dropbox?
21:41:16  <DrSpangle> er, hang on, i didn't realize there is a public folder here i can put it in
21:41:20  <DrSpangle> just a moment while i get this set up
21:41:47  <DrSpangle> seems there is a real reservation with using email
21:42:44  <DrSpangle> here yougo

21:44:36  <mfb-> you have many small curves
21:44:48  <DrSpangle> maybe you can mark them and tell me where they're problematic
21:44:53  <DrSpangle> i haven't noticed any incidences of slowdowns
21:45:04  <DrSpangle> i also don't have any load balancing because i don't know how they work
21:45:20  <DrSpangle> and on the 2x2 mainline, i don't think i'm properly utilizing it at all
21:45:40  <mfb-> they slow down the trains
21:46:12  <DrSpangle> maybe you could give me a sign for particular egregious problems and then i can correct them
21:48:45  *** collinp has joined #openttdcoop
21:49:08  <mfb-> hmmhmm
21:49:09  <Troy_McClure> this WOULD be easier, when you are working in the same game, like welcome server, that would work so much faster
21:49:13  <mfb-> parallel lines with different directions
21:49:26  <mfb-> usually, that is a bad idea
21:49:29  <DrSpangle> what do you mean by that?
21:49:44  <Troy_McClure> coaxial, I saw
21:49:48  <mfb-> the doubled line, where one part is for coal and the other part is for wood
21:50:00  <mfb-> near plenningbury mines
21:50:13  <DrSpangle> right, that was originally intended as a 4x4 main line, but i don't understand the concept well enough i think
21:50:58  *** Tray has quit IRC
21:51:18  <Troy_McClure> shared stations (both pick up and drop) are a bad idea, it's less worse with waypointing, but still
21:51:46  <DrSpangle> what do you mean?
21:51:50  <DrSpangle> what makes it a shared station, exactly
21:52:31  <Troy_McClure> you drop cargo at a station and at the same station you pick up the secondary product
21:52:32  <Troy_McClure> i
21:52:41  <Troy_McClure> in your case, you drop wood and pickup goods
21:52:57  <DrSpangle> how do you seperate that? when the wood drops, the goods are automatically plopped there, aren't they?
21:53:09  <Troy_McClure> yes, but just use different stations
21:53:25  <Troy_McClure> one station solely for dropping, one solely for pickup
21:53:37  <DrSpangle> ok, so do you mean one station designation, or one platform block
21:54:12  <Troy_McClure> you've now gone to great lengths to make it the same station (Bathill City Woods) where you could've just used two different stations (Bathill City Woods and say Bathill City Transfer)
21:54:35  <DrSpangle> right, i see
21:54:46  <Troy_McClure> the CL1 corners for TL5 trains are a definite nono
21:54:53  <Troy_McClure> they slow your trains down to 88 kph
21:55:08  <Troy_McClure> 55 mph
21:55:18  <DrSpangle> i prefer metric measurements
21:55:24  <DrSpangle> where are some examples of these?
21:55:28  <DrSpangle> like, at the terminus stations?
21:55:43  <Troy_McClure> ha, okay ;) some use the original imperial stations
21:56:12  <Troy_McClure> Plenningbury mines has extra tracks in front of it, which you dont need
21:56:30  <Troy_McClure> which are perpendicular to the driving direction
21:57:00  <Troy_McClure> but predominantly at the RoRo station, it slows down the flow of traffic
21:57:13  <Troy_McClure> you don't notice it yet, cause the traffic on your network is very light
21:57:24  <DrSpangle> oh, you must mean wunfingbridge woods

21:57:29  <Webster> Title: File-Upload.net - Plenningbury-Transport---mfb--20-10-1996.sav (at www.file-upload.net)
21:57:31  <Troy_McClure> the RLLR you don't even need
21:57:39  <mfb-> in general: if you expect more traffic, double your bridges
21:57:48  <mfb-> like you did with the tunnels near the power station
21:58:13  <mfb-> and if you expect more traffic, pay attention to smaller signal gaps
21:58:23  <mfb-> I marked two near the sawmill, but there are more in the network
21:58:32  <mfb-> with the current traffic, everything works fine
21:58:40  <mfb-> but the lines are nearly empty, from a coop view
21:59:18  <DrSpangle> yeah
21:59:29  <DrSpangle> there aren't even 100 trains here
22:00:01  <DrSpangle> this is purely an academic scenario though
22:00:08  <Troy_McClure> academic?
22:00:09  <DrSpangle> i'm glad that overall my design is not too terrible
22:00:14  <DrSpangle> yeah, for learning
22:00:34  <Troy_McClure> uhm, I think it's deplorable though
22:00:44  <Troy_McClure> but the fact that you're here and asking is very hopeful :)
22:00:51  <mfb-> another generel remark: your lines all end somewhere
22:01:00  <mfb-> which is bad if you want to expand the network
22:01:18  <Troy_McClure> small steps, mfb
22:01:27  <mfb-> it is better to plan your main lines without end at specific stations
22:01:36  <mfb-> and connect these stations via hubs
22:02:01  <DrSpangle> i clearly didn't understand the concept of exit signals, which is why in every ro-ro station there are redundant exit signals at the exits
22:02:07  <V453000> actually I would say the easiest way how to start with networking is to make 2 large stations, ML between them, and making only sideline hubs
22:02:21  <mfb-> well, right
22:02:32  <mfb-> in that case, the ML should be long enough to do that
22:02:33  <DrSpangle> and you certainly caught me with the bad corners
22:02:41  <V453000> which I have here http://blog.openttdcoop.org/files/blog/V453000/Game%2004.sav

22:03:41  <DrSpangle> i noticed that you didn't have any issues with my T hubs
22:04:33  <mfb-> apart from the general remark about doubled bridges, they are fine
22:04:55  <mfb-> well, the one connecting to your doubled lines just connects to one of these
22:05:56  <DrSpangle> sorry? the double lines?
22:06:01  *** Troy_McClure_ has joined #openttdcoop
22:06:43  <Troy_McClure_> preferably you want an incoming track to connect to both
22:07:39  <mfb-> and the outgoing as well
22:08:07  <Troy_McClure_> yes, I implied that, but didnt explicit it enough :)

22:10:16  <Troy_McClure_> but it would be easier for you to join a welcome server game and check that out
22:10:29  <Troy_McClure_> build something there, have it reviewed by others ;)
22:10:29  <DrSpangle> i'd love to, but i'm on a very poor connection for that at the moment
22:10:53  <Troy_McClure_> you have tried connecting than?
22:11:42  <DrSpangle> no, but i'm not at home - i'm on a crappy campus wireless connection and i'd like to wait until i get home first
22:11:53  <DrSpangle> i'm eager to try, but it's really just not the right time or the place
22:13:10  <Troy_McClure_> errm, V45300, isnt that savegame a bit much for drSpangle?
22:13:36  <DrSpangle> i hadn't looked at it yet
22:13:38  <DrSpangle> i'm bracing myself
22:14:02  <Troy_McClure_> plus, it has some unsynced bridges for starters
22:14:12  <DrSpangle> oh sweet mother of god
22:14:26  <DrSpangle> my brain has exploded
22:14:35  <DrSpangle> this is how i feel when i observe the coop server
22:14:37  <Troy_McClure_> nice, now you know you're going the right way :)
22:14:58  <DrSpangle> the problem with analysis of saves like this is that it is simply beyond comprehension for me at this stage
22:15:08  <Troy_McClure_> LLLLLRRRRR
22:15:08  <DrSpangle> i can't take discrete examples and apply them like i have in my game here
22:15:19  <Troy_McClure_> I know, that's what I mentioned to V ;)
22:15:24  <DrSpangle> yeah

22:19:08  <Troy_McClure_> try looking at companies red and darkblue for simple examples
22:20:15  <Troy_McClure_> it's far from nice coop standards, since it has some messy solutions, some jams, prios that are either too long or too short
22:20:30  <Troy_McClure_> but it's very comprehensible
22:21:11  <DrSpangle> okay, thank you
22:22:19  <DrSpangle> i'll have to examine this a little later
22:22:26  <Troy_McClure_> why?

22:33:26  <Troy_McClure_> I just wanted to say I wanted to write a post for people like DrSpangle
22:34:14  <V453000> didnt follow the discussion, but I guess some starting stuff :)
22:34:23  <Troy_McClure_> yep
22:35:28  <mfb-> crap. is there any real LL_RR-hub in the last PSGs in the archive?
22:35:46  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Real?
22:36:04  <mfb-> everything I found so far had some 3rd line hanging around somewhere, or was special in some other way
22:36:23  <mfb-> e.g. mixed with other hubs, or build around a city or whatever
22:36:38  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> Wont they always be special?
22:37:16  <mfb-> why?
22:37:31  <V453000> the last train limit game had LL_RR
22:37:42  <V453000> 222 maybe too?
22:37:52  <mfb-> I had two really nice examples of these hubs in the FIRS game, but they were expanded later
22:38:08  <mfb-> I already checked that
22:38:15  <mfb-> expansions everywhere
22:38:25  <mfb-> arctic, 227?
22:38:28  <V453000> 206 too
22:38:55  <V453000> 202 has some hubs
22:38:56  <Troy_McClure_> you want one for the junctionary?
22:39:01  <Troy_McClure_> why are you looking for one?
22:39:09  <mfb-> ah right, 206 is good
22:39:18  <mfb-> you want one for the junctionary? <- right
22:39:22  <mfb-> the current one there is just bad
22:40:28  <Troy_McClure_> from Pile Transport, yeah, really looks awful
22:40:36  <V453000> :D :)
22:40:57  <mfb-> ah, that is a nice one
22:41:07  <mfb-> MSH03 from PSG227
22:41:10  <Troy_McClure_> very spacious, no double bridges/tunnels
22:41:33  <mfb-> classic structure, two lines split up and join two other lines
22:42:10  <Troy_McClure_> when did coop start using synched bridges?
22:42:13  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> So what is wrone with the current LLRR backbone?
22:42:15  <mfb-> I think snake nest should get there too
22:42:18  <mfb-> Troy_McClure_: never
22:42:26  <mfb-> Hazzard: where?
22:42:36  <mfb-> oh wait, "start"
22:42:42  <Troy_McClure_> yes, start
22:42:44  <mfb-> long ago
22:42:50  <Troy_McClure_> cause the old SLH's and BBH's dont have them
22:42:57  <PublicServer> <Hazzard> MFB: the junctionary one
22:43:08  <Troy_McClure_> some not even double bridges, and in 2007, apparently unsynched bridges
22:43:08  <mfb-> not balanced, single bridges
22:43:11  <PublicServer> *** Hazzard has left the game (leaving)
22:43:12  <PublicServer> *** Game paused (number of players)
22:44:50  <Troy_McClure_> New SLH's isnt nood friendly, and Old SLH's isnt proper
22:45:10  <Troy_McClure_> it's missing some basics, like -real noob perhaps- LR SLH
22:48:03  <Troy_McClure_> And I think screenshots without trees (so just basic rails) would be appreciated too, since it's about the junction, not the trees (and industries and shit)
22:48:18  <DrSpangle> that would be SO useful
22:48:25  <DrSpangle> i was really hoping i'd find that in the junctionary
22:48:39  <DrSpangle> and another thing too is to label the signals that are facing away from the perspective so that you know what kind they are
22:49:07  <Troy_McClure_> ah, indeed, ingame you might query that, but it isnt always properly visible
22:49:46  <Hazzard> What is the difference between old and new sideline hubs?
22:49:49  <Troy_McClure_> but that might be too much (it might require a lot of signs, but it would not add much information, since once you recognize the parts, you know which signals they are)
22:50:02  <Troy_McClure_> same as between old and new BBH's
22:50:22  <DrSpangle> no signs are needed, if it's a screenshot just putting the bottom part of the signal on would solve everything
22:50:23  <Troy_McClure_> no double bridges/tunnels, sometimes proper signalling, not always, not compact
22:50:28  <DrSpangle> it'd be still obvious that the signal faces the other way
22:50:32  <Troy_McClure_> a large mess in todays terms
22:50:56  <Hazzard> You mean the old side line hubs?
22:51:08  <Troy_McClure_> oh, and when double bridges/tunnels are used, they are not synched
22:51:10  <Troy_McClure_> yes
22:51:30  <Hazzard> Synced means same length?
22:51:40  <mfb-> right
22:51:41  <Troy_McClure_> mfb: it might be best to just delete the entire OLD SLH's part
22:51:52  <Troy_McClure_> yes, synchronized
22:52:12  <Troy_McClure_> Old SLH is confusing at best

23:17:45  <PublicServer> DrSpangle: http://binaries.openttd.org/nightlies/trunk/r23974/openttd-trunk-r23974-windows-win64.zip
23:17:57  <DrSpangle> does the welcome server not run r23974?
23:18:10  <mfb-> http://wiki.openttdcoop.org/File:LLRRhub.png this one too?
23:19:00  <V453000> why not I guess
23:19:05  <V453000> looks simple
23:20:21  <mfb-> ?
23:20:36  <V453000> ah you mean move
23:20:42  <mfb-> :D
23:21:09  <V453000> http://wiki.openttdcoop.org/File:227_bbh03.png
23:21:32  <mfb-> thanks
23:25:39  <PublicServer> *** bassals joined the game
23:33:38  <mfb-> hmm
23:33:49  <mfb-> we have no single SBahn with dummy trains in the junctionary?
23:34:49  *** sla_ro|master has quit IRC
23:35:58  <DrSpangle> there's no definition for what a dummy train is
23:36:15  <Troy_McClure_> DrSpangle, you got my message on the welcome server?
23:37:23  <PublicServer> *** bassals has left the game (leaving)
23:37:30  *** Bassals has quit IRC
23:40:14  <DrSpangle> oh, uh
23:40:18  <DrSpangle> no i don't think so, i left
23:40:24  <DrSpangle> i was too confused by the chaos unfolding
23:42:29  <Troy_McClure_> check the junctionary, new SLH's
23:42:36  <Troy_McClure_> I added two very simple SLH's there
23:43:28  <DrSpangle> oh, will do
23:45:37  <DrSpangle> so, i have an issue with this
23:45:47  <DrSpangle> how come there's bridges on the main line, i thought the idea was you never want the trains on the ML to slow down
23:46:02  <DrSpangle> or is that a load balancer
23:46:12  <DrSpangle> it doesn't look like it is
23:46:14  <V453000> Troy_McClure_: that should be images from our games ...
23:46:32  <Troy_McClure_> V, why?
23:47:21  <Troy_McClure_> DrSpangle, the bridges don't slow down the trains (the max speed of the bridges is way higher than most max speeds of engines)
23:47:32  <V453000> because it is a junctionary of our stuff?
23:47:38  <V453000> adding -something- there is not "our" but yours
23:47:46  <Troy_McClure_> the gaps slow down traffic, but you overcome that problem by using double bridges
23:47:50  <V453000> having it from game means it is automatically agreed upon
23:47:52  <V453000> sort of
23:47:59  <Troy_McClure_> ah, okay
23:48:05  <DrSpangle> i see
23:48:06  <Troy_McClure_> I get the issue
23:48:35  <DrSpangle> maybe you're going to have to make a separate section in the junctionary for "beginner sample designs"
23:48:45  <Troy_McClure_> You might not have followed the conversation earlier, but the SLH's aren't usually that clear
23:48:48  <DrSpangle> because while you're using best practices, obviously the issue that V is having is with your 'ownership' of this design
23:48:51  <Troy_McClure_> which often isnt a problem
23:48:56  <Troy_McClure_> but it is for beginners
23:49:12  <Troy_McClure_> it's not the ownership
23:49:24  <Troy_McClure_> it's the fact that it isn't agreed upon
23:49:54  <V453000> it just doesnt make sense to me how could you add stuff to junctionary of cooperative community which is not from our game
23:50:07  <Troy_McClure_> If I would think: "hey, that's the best solution" and just spam the wiki with wrong designs, it's very frustrating
23:50:34  <Troy_McClure_> okay, so everything from the junctionary is agreed upon?
23:50:43  <Troy_McClure_> even the faulty Old SLH's?
23:50:48  <V453000> btw if you want to make an example SLH, put it to the SLH page imo
23:50:52  <V453000> not to the junctionary
23:50:53  <Troy_McClure_> just saying...
23:51:01  <Troy_McClure_> ah, okay, might be better  yeah
23:51:05  <V453000> @wiki SLH
23:51:07  <Webster> V453000: "Sideline Hub" (Redirect from "SLH"):
23:51:08  <Webster> V453000: http://wiki.openttdcoop.org/Sideline_Hub
23:51:09  <Webster> V453000: A sideline hub (SLH) is a hub that connects a sideline to a mainline. Although usually load balanced they are not always. They are however, designed not to interrupt the flow of mainline traffic as much as possible, so that trains already at full speed do not have to slow down. More information on building a sideline hub is available on the Basic Junctions guide.
23:51:18  <V453000> like exactly there
23:51:31  <Troy_McClure_> yes, cause that SLH there is ugly and outdated
23:52:16  <PublicServer> *** Sylf joined the game
23:52:32  <PublicServer> <Sylf> holy crap... a small map
23:52:46  <PublicServer> <V453000> will make for a nice CPU load with RVs :)
23:53:13  <PublicServer> <Sylf> Ah, OK.
23:55:12  <PublicServer> *** Sylf has joined company #1
23:55:17  <Troy_McClure_> okay, added the SLH page, and deleted the lines from the SLH Junctionary
