00:11:47  <Eddi|zuHause2> NAND signals are an ugly excuse for a programmable system...
00:12:03  <Eddi|zuHause2> load balancers should much rather be done through waypoints
00:12:07  <Eddi|zuHause2> than signal hacks

00:16:58  <pv2b> Eddi|zuHause2: why? with NAND signals you can perform any logic :-)
00:17:14  <pv2b> any logical statement can be reduced to a bunch of NANDs
00:17:33  <Eddi|zuHause2> did you listen? they are UGLY
00:18:10  <pv2b> digital electronics is ugly? :-)
00:18:29  <Eddi|zuHause2> as are the coop-style priority signals
00:19:02  <Eddi|zuHause2> anything that abuses tracks for anything but train driving is ugly
00:21:11  <Sjoerd_> HI!!!
00:21:37  <Eddi|zuHause2> as for loadbalancers, i was thinking along those lines:
00:21:43  <Eddi|zuHause2> you make 2 waypoints
00:21:50  <Eddi|zuHause2> "Loadbalancer A.1"
00:21:54  <Eddi|zuHause2> "Loadbalancer A.2"
00:22:17  <OwenS> 1) More work 2) Imperfect
00:22:24  <Eddi|zuHause2> and whenever a train passes through 1, you switch the names (or a specific token variable)
00:22:45  <Eddi|zuHause2> then you need to modify the pathfinder
00:23:14  <OwenS> I would guess that trains don't care where theyre going once theyve started heading towards it, they would just have the tile
00:23:18  <Eddi|zuHause2> to penalize the waypoint 2 (or the one without token)
00:23:22  <OwenS> I dunno here though
00:23:52  <Eddi|zuHause2> this is also easily expandable
00:24:01  <Eddi|zuHause2> and does not use any additional track tiles
00:24:07  <Eddi|zuHause2> much cleaner
00:24:13  <Eddi|zuHause2> much smaller
00:24:23  <Eddi|zuHause2> much easier comprehensible
00:24:36  <Eddi|zuHause2> and should not be a lot of modification
00:24:44  <OwenS> And how do you program the connection that these waypoints have?
00:24:47  <Eddi|zuHause2> of the code
00:24:56  <Eddi|zuHause2> by checking the name
00:25:02  <Eddi|zuHause2> of the waypoints
00:25:13  <OwenS> The flickering of a name I can see is ugly IMO
00:25:19  <Eddi|zuHause2> that is a minor detail
00:25:20  <OwenS> And how do you tell it to change the name?
00:25:51  <Eddi|zuHause2> there are already patches that add variables to waypoints
00:26:03  <Eddi|zuHause2> you can easily add more there
00:26:12  <OwenS> I would prefer to go for programable signals anyway
00:26:14  <Eddi|zuHause2> to improve the name thing
00:26:17  <OwenS> If we had the map array space
00:26:39  <OwenS> Eddi|zuHause2: Not really, we are shockingly space limited in the map array
00:26:47  <Eddi|zuHause2> it's a transport simulation, no fricking programming contest!
00:27:03  <OwenS> There are some things which are completely undoable without logic
00:27:17  <Eddi|zuHause2> OwenS: the waypoint stats are not stored in the map array
00:27:20  <DaleStan> But do they need to be done?
00:27:22  <OwenS> Now, we can either have discreet logic (Different signal types) or "integrated circuites" (Programable logic)
00:27:47  <OwenS> Or some things become impossible to do, which are definitely useful
00:28:35  * Sacro watches the young ones
00:28:50  <DaleStan> I'm all for powerful signal setups, but I still haven't seen a layout where a NAND signal was in any way useful.
00:28:53  <Eddi|zuHause2> stations, waypoints, industries, towns, and lots of other stuff store data in memory pools outside the map array
00:29:08  <Eddi|zuHause2> which have virtually no limitation
00:29:23  <DaleStan> That is "useful for train signalling".
00:29:24  <pv2b> DaleStan: are you talking about presignals, or some new signal i was previously unaware of, btw?
00:30:03  <pv2b> because current presignals are more like or gates.
00:30:13  <DaleStan> pv2b: presigs are OR signals, basically. NANDs will show red if all the ones behind them show green.
00:30:15  <Eddi|zuHause2> there is a signal rewrite in progress
00:30:24  <Eddi|zuHause2> or at least planned
00:30:57  <Eddi|zuHause2> and it's goal is to simplify signals, not complicate them...
00:31:03  <pv2b> DaleStan: pointless, in itself. but: since any type of logic can be made using NAND gates, not so pointless after all :-)
00:31:06  <Eddi|zuHause2> -'
00:31:08  <Sacro> Eddi|zuHause2: is it?
00:31:34  <pv2b> you could make a computer in openttd :D
00:31:35  <OwenS> How do you simplify and maintain the current flexibilty?
00:32:14  <Eddi|zuHause2> the trick is, to do presignalling (90%) automatically
00:32:22  <OwenS> Like Locomotion does?
00:32:36  <Eddi|zuHause2> i don't know what locomotion does
00:32:52  <DaleStan> But making a computer is not what OpenTTD is for. You can write a prime number generator in John Conway's Game of Life, but is that really useful, or the best use of Life?
00:32:57  <OwenS> 2 or more 2 way signals behind a 1 way signal automatically becomes presignals
00:33:02  <pv2b> DaleStan: no, but it's cool
00:33:04  <pv2b> DaleStan: :D
00:33:15  <Eddi|zuHause2> but the first step was to make the game aware of a "signal block" concept
00:33:17  <pv2b> DaleStan: you could implement the game of life in openttd, and then implement a prime number genreator in life.
00:33:26  <pv2b> in openttd
00:33:28  <OwenS> O.o
00:33:34  <OwenS> How would you show the output? :P
00:33:35  *** Bjarni [~Bjarni@0x50c79a2e.virnxx14.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
00:33:37  <Eddi|zuHause2> from such a signal block, you can already derive most of the standard situations automatically
00:34:07  <pv2b> OwenS: you could pull train tracks to a display area on the map, where red or green signal states would show a dot matrix display
00:34:20  <OwenS> Haha
00:34:46  <lws1984> heh, wouldn't it be cool to have a dotmatrix board as a window for stations?
00:34:52  <lws1984> or one of those flippy ones
00:35:13  <Eddi|zuHause2> you are getting crazy
00:35:26  <pv2b> lws1984: implemented in openttd signalling logic? :D
00:35:30  <lws1984> well, that's what the second monitor could be for!
00:35:33  <lws1984> pv2b: why not?
00:35:45  <lws1984> I've always wanted to have something like that, makes it easier to keep track
00:35:49  <OwenS> But seriously, what harm does having NAND do? Especially if a patch setting is added to hide it (Enabled by default)
00:36:03  <OwenS> The signal display seems genuinely useful BTW
00:36:18  <Eddi|zuHause2> the harm is that it is a hack
00:36:44  <Eddi|zuHause2> and you will never get this through the devs
00:36:57  <OwenS> How is it a hack?
00:37:17  <Eddi|zuHause2> it is a gameplay hack
00:37:22  <OwenS> How?
00:37:26  <Eddi|zuHause2> not necessarily a code hack
00:37:59  <OwenS> So, how is it disrupting the gameplay?
00:38:10  <Eddi|zuHause2> it abuses game utilities (tracks&signals) in ways they were never intended to, and are completely unrealistic
00:38:21  <OwenS> So, people could say, do presignals
00:38:28  <OwenS> Presignals are unrealistic also
00:38:37  <Eddi|zuHause2> presignals DO have a realistic counterpart
00:38:45  <OwenS> If were going for full on realism, lets make trains have set platforms
00:39:06  <Eddi|zuHause2> trains do not have a set platform
00:39:13  <OwenS> They do in real lif
00:39:14  <OwenS> e
00:39:14  <Eddi|zuHause2> only a "preferred" platform
00:39:32  <Eddi|zuHause2> they can spontaneously be rerouted, if the situation occures
00:39:37  <OwenS> I can be GUARENTEED that the train I want will be arriving at it's specified platform
00:39:39  <lws1984> yeah, I'd like that
00:39:40  <OwenS> Only in an emergency
00:39:52  *** Progman [~progman@p5091F879.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
00:40:22  <Eddi|zuHause2> if another train is late and did not free the platform yet? i would not call that an emergency
00:40:44  <lws1984> nah, it's a "delay"
00:40:49  <OwenS> OK, that is also a possibilty. But the situation is incredibly rare
00:40:57  <OwenS> Or rather, abnormal
00:41:08  <Eddi|zuHause2> it is not as rare as you might think (or want it to be)
00:41:17  <lws1984> aye, happens all the freakin' time in Boston
00:41:19  <OwenS> Maybe we should give passenger trains timetables.......
00:41:25  <lolman> OwenS, do you not know the British rail system?
00:41:26  <lws1984> real pain in the rear
00:41:40  <Eddi|zuHause2> and on that note: yes, i think trains should have such a platform attached to the orders
00:41:57  *** KritiK [~Maxim@ppp85-140-82-188.pppoe.mtu-net.ru] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
00:42:17  <OwenS> But, still, I can see no objectionable reason against programable signals
00:42:52  *** dp-_ [~dp@p54B2E309.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
00:43:18  <Eddi|zuHause2> the reason against it, is that they are too complex
00:43:39  <Eddi|zuHause2> s/, is/is, /
00:44:04  <OwenS> So, you dont want me to have a way to enforce specific constraints; Either signals or scripting
00:44:24  <Eddi|zuHause2> like i said before, this game is no programming contest
00:44:35  <OwenS> Neither do I want it to be
00:44:57  <OwenS> But there are some situations which cannot be enforced without programming; Either in logic gate form or in signal form
00:46:41  <OwenS> These signals, though rare, are certainly mot momexistant
00:46:58  <lolman> not nonexistant*
00:47:34  <Eddi|zuHause2> please show me one signle NAND signal in the real world ;)
00:47:46  <OwenS> Thats why I would like programable signals instead
00:48:01  <OwenS> I would prefer NAND signals only as an interim solution I and a few others use
00:48:13  <mikk36> hey :)
00:48:14  <Sacro> NAND is programmable, in a rudimentary kind of way
00:48:37  <mikk36> does anyone here have leadtek TV2000 XP tv-card ?
00:49:26  <OwenS> Nope
00:49:49  *** dp- [~dp@p54B2D5D6.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
00:50:21  <Eddi|zuHause2> let's face it... there are basically 2 standard problems that are not sufficiently covered by the current signalling system (apart from PBS)
00:50:28  <Eddi|zuHause2> 1) load balancers
00:50:31  <Eddi|zuHause2> 2) priority mainlines
00:50:35  <OwenS> Prohibiting it even though it could confuse new users, even though it would be hidden from them by defualt, just seems silly
00:50:51  <OwenS> And there are others, like enforcing a preference
00:51:21  <Eddi|zuHause2> you can enforce preferences with waypoints
00:51:30  <Sacro> Eddi|zuHause2: i would like realistic deceleration, with yellow signals
00:51:34  <Eddi|zuHause2> that's like the easiest thing...
00:51:36  <OwenS> No, you cant
00:51:55  <OwenS> In this case I want trains to use a specific (closer) station IF, and ONLY IF, the station I want them to use is full
00:52:33  <Eddi|zuHause2> that is not actually a standard situation
00:52:47  <OwenS> Yes, it IS not standard. But it isn't nonexistant
00:53:13  <Eddi|zuHause2> anyway, for load balancers i suggested the waypoint method
00:53:26  <Eddi|zuHause2> which is MUCH easier and cleaner than the signal method
00:53:50  <OwenS> Possibly, but I would say thats a hack on waypoints
00:53:51  <Eddi|zuHause2> and priorities should be (at least rudimentary) covered by the new signal system
00:53:53  <OwenS> http://img.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/0608/18/nagel1.jpg <- EWW
00:54:16  <Eddi|zuHause2> with reserved paths in front of the train
00:54:19  <OwenS> Dedicating a signal to this priority would (IMO) be a waste of a signal type; Programable would do it for me
00:54:55  <Eddi|zuHause2> the trick is.. it has nothing special with the signal
00:55:03  <Eddi|zuHause2> it is the TRAIN that gets priorities
00:55:06  <Eddi|zuHause2> not the signal
00:55:30  <Eddi|zuHause2> the new signal system changes the behaviour
00:55:41  <Eddi|zuHause2> the signals depend on the train, and not the train depends on the signals
00:56:02  <OwenS> That, IMO, rocks, as long as it remains as flexible as now
00:57:12  *** Eddi|zuHause3 [~johekr@p54B75C2C.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
00:57:22  <Eddi|zuHause3> there is a pdf somewhere outlining what it should do
00:57:57  <Eddi|zuHause3> short summary: trains reserve a path of 2x breaking distance ahead
00:58:05  <Eddi|zuHause3> signals are default red
00:58:19  <OwenS> Somewhat like Lomo then
00:58:22  <Eddi|zuHause3> and change green if a train reserves a path through it, and the path behind it is free
00:58:36  <pv2b> Eddi|zuHause3: sounds like a lot like what happens in Real Life
00:58:41  <OwenS> I like it, although I would like a way to check my junction is working withoiut sending a train trhough it...
00:58:47  <Eddi|zuHause3> exactly :)

01:01:46  *** Trenskow [~outlet@3e6b6aed.rev.stofanet.dk] has joined #openttd
01:01:54  <Eddi|zuHause3> the priority thing in there is: fast trains have a long breaking distance, and thus reserve tracks way ahead
01:02:12  <Eddi|zuHause3> so trains from slower side lines have less chance of interrupting the main line

07:58:23  <Maedhros> actually... what is the point of the "transfer" order? it's completely useless without Full Load or Unload, and when they're set it doesn't appear to do anything either...
07:58:47  <Nigel> Eddi|zuHause, you saved my Iron Ore subsidary, thanks
08:02:52  <Zavior> Maedhros, it can be used to set up feeders

08:05:08  <Maedhros> if you send a full train to a station with just "Transfer" in the orders, it will take the cargo away again immediately
08:05:54  <Maedhros> it only unloads the cargo with "Unload" in the orders, and the same effect seems to happen with or without "Transfer"
08:06:42  <Maedhros> and if you use "Transfer" with a station that actually accepts the cargo, you won't get any money from it
08:14:37  <Nigel> Maedhros, transfer + unload
08:14:55  <Nigel> and transfer+load
08:15:10  <Nigel> i guess it makes more sense with the loading in MiniIN
08:16:24  *** JohnUK89 [~john@149.254.200.215] has joined #openttd
08:17:01  <Maedhros> Nigel: from what i can see in the code "Transfer" has no effect whatsoever on "Full Load"
08:17:32  <Maedhros> in fact, the only thing it does is to give you virtual money rather than real money if the station accepts the cargo, but you have "Transfer + Unload" in the orders
08:18:16  <Maedhros> i haven't looked at the loading stuff in MiniIN though ;)
08:21:49  * Maedhros looks embarassed
08:22:14  <Maedhros> no, it also leaves the cargo at the station even if the station accepts it with "Transfer"

09:23:26  <Der_Dirk> hello everyone
09:23:31  <Der_Dirk> I need some gameplay advice
09:23:52  <Der_Dirk> I have a big town (7500+ inhabitants) and a city-size airport in it
09:24:03  <Der_Dirk> however I now want to replace it with a metropolitan-sized one
09:24:09  <hylje> blow up the town
09:24:25  <Der_Dirk> but: there are way too many airplanes flying around / landing for me to replace it
09:24:28  <Der_Dirk> hylje: ...
09:24:44  <JohnUK89> Der_Dirk, but them all into another hangar...
09:24:46  <JohnUK89> put*
09:25:34  <Der_Dirk> JohnUK89 : The problem is: There are about 15 airplanes in the hangar of the one to be replaced
09:25:44  <hylje> fly them elsewhere
09:25:59  <JohnUK89> Der_Dirk, as hylje said, put them in another one :P
09:26:04  <Zavior^> Hopefully they are on shared orders.. :P
09:26:58  <Der_Dirk> I don't suppose so
09:27:30  <Der_Dirk> seems to be the only option
09:27:38  <Der_Dirk> I hoped there would be a less work-intense solution
09:27:44  <hylje> once you have emptied the hangar, it should be trivial to sneak the upgrade when there are no planes landing
09:27:50  <hylje> well
09:28:11  <hylje> aeroplanes are money machines, they ought to have some work in it

09:52:44  <Patrick`> Nigel: request that the subsidiary maintainer allow you to set a "auto transfer money to me" limit
09:53:10  <Nigel> thats a good idea
09:53:32  <Nigel> 70% off profits at end of year (assuming that the company made a +)
09:53:47  <Nigel> configurable of course
09:54:42  <Nigel> so for a new subsidaries you can have a 'cover losses', for older ones, 'transfer x% to parent'

09:55:57  <Nigel> but also, clicking on 20k buttons is a pain
09:56:19  <Viper1> Why income has non-linear character? Trasporting 20 squares 20 days is dramaticaly worse, than transporting  10 squares 10 days?
09:57:59  <Viper1> This tends player to build short-way tracks, making game little less interest.
09:58:20  <hylje> i build really long way anyway
09:59:22  <Viper1> heh, that's little problem. You may build long way track, but you will negative profit on it, whatever you transport.
09:59:25  <JohnUK89> Viper, because in real life, the cost of say a train increases non-linearly with distance
09:59:51  <hylje> Viper1: not really, each train profits pretty well
09:59:52  <JohnUK89> Viper1, actually longer, well maintained lines tend to make the most profit

10:00:11  <Der_Dirk> do you have some tutorials for railway-signal-stations?
10:00:13  <Viper1> I'm working on railroad.
10:00:17  <Patrick`> Viper1: it only works out less if you go below a certain speed
10:00:26  <Der_Dirk> my trains tend to wind up confused
10:00:28  <Patrick`> I think trucks cost more to go far
10:00:50  <Patrick`> even with the first steam trains, you make money if you go a long distance
10:00:50  <Viper1> And I know, that long way moving cargo for real railroad is more profittable, than short way.
10:00:53  <JohnUK89> I never use trucks, not enough profit in them
10:00:58  <TrueLight> Commit 5946 (big one):
10:00:59  <TrueLight> -Add: merged the TGP branch to mainline. TGP adds:
10:00:59  <TrueLight>   - New optional landscape generator (TerraGenesis Perlin)
10:00:59  <TrueLight>   - Load heightmaps (either BMP or PNG)
10:00:59  <TrueLight>   - Progress dialog while generating worlds (no longer a 'hanging' screen)
10:00:59  <TrueLight>   - New dialogs for NewGame, Create Scenario and Play Heightmap
10:01:00  <Patrick`> who does ...
10:01:01  <TrueLight>     - Easier to configure your landscape
10:01:01  <TrueLight>     - More things to configure (tree-placer, ..)
10:01:06  <TrueLight> - Speedup of world generation
10:01:06  <TrueLight>   - New console command 'restart': restart the map EXACTLY as it was when you
10:01:06  <TrueLight>       first started it (needs a game made after or with this commit)
10:01:06  <TrueLight>   - New console command 'getseed': get the seed of your map and share it with
10:01:08  <TrueLight>       others (of course only works with generated maps)
10:01:08  <TrueLight>   - Many new, world generation related, things
10:01:10  <TrueLight>   - Many internal cleanups and rewrites

10:01:41  <Patrick`> Viper1: not in my experience
10:01:51  <Patrick`> longer routes cost more to build but they make more per year
10:01:52  <JohnUK89> Viper1, not really, if you keep speed up long lines make more profit
10:01:59  <Patrick`> so always build as long as you can

10:21:25  <Viper1> What should do a player to discover best route length?
10:21:29  <Der_Dirk> cya guys, I'm off
10:21:33  <JohnUK89> I see simple maths as you just get the rate for 10 units 20 squares and multiply/divide it depending on the amount of units and squares
10:21:41  <Viper1> Damn!

10:22:42  <JohnUK89> The amount  of time it takes is the main factor that reduces profit per square on larger lines
10:23:14  <Viper1> Okay, I agreed.
10:23:15  <JohnUK89> But the amount of squares is usually sufficient to outbalance it to produce a larger profit for the whole line against a smaller one
10:23:54  <Viper1> but why per square income dropped 8 times on long route?
10:24:06  <Viper1> Where ever you transport it on aircraft?
10:24:16  <JohnUK89> Viper1, I don't quite understand the question there
10:24:27  <Viper1> Look yet more time
10:24:47  <Viper1> let's look on graph "Cargo payment rate'
10:25:02  <Viper1> we see that "10 units of wood, transported on 20 squares with 10 days give you 196 pounds"
10:25:30  <JohnUK89> Not on my graph...
10:25:47  <JohnUK89> Says £118-ish here
10:25:56  <Patrick`> inflation?
10:26:07  <Viper1> not
10:26:20  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, probably...I just started a new game
10:26:36  <Patrick`> actually, I agree with john
10:26:41  <Viper1> player thinks, that if he has a speed, that allow him to
10:26:51  <Patrick`> Viper1: so what's the problem?
10:26:51  <Viper1> to transport "10 units of wood, transported on 20 squares with 10 days give you 196 pounds"
10:27:02  <Patrick`> the lower axis of that graph is time, not distance.
10:27:14  <Viper1> and he build track with 200 squares
10:27:48  <JohnUK89> Viper1, how long does it take said train to cover the 200 squares with wood onboard?
10:27:48  <Viper1> hi discovered, that hi gave not 1960 pounds.
10:28:15  <Patrick`> Viper1: longer routes are more profitable.
10:28:20  <Patrick`> if you disagree then you are wrong
10:28:30  <Patrick`> however, I'll help you understand why
10:28:38  <Patrick`> keep going
10:28:39  <JohnUK89> The reason it isn't linear is time
10:28:48  <Viper1> Yes,
10:28:51  <Viper1> of course.
10:28:57  <Viper1> there's limit 255 days
10:29:28  <Patrick`> after which time the payment has only hone down to 78 pounds per 20 squares
10:29:58  <Viper1> Patrick, but I'm rout goods on 200 squares

10:30:10  <JohnUK89> What are you suggesting? That the developers change the datatype of the time variable and eat up more memory?
10:30:13  <Patrick`> so that's 780 pounds per 200 squares
10:30:25  <Patrick`> I don't actually understand what your problem is
10:30:32  <Viper1> okay
10:30:47  <Viper1> give three expamples
10:30:50  <Patrick`> if you can go 200 squares to a sawmill or 400 squares to a sawmill, 400 squares makes more money
10:30:56  <JohnUK89> If a route is taking longer than 200 days to transport its goods there is a problem with the route
10:30:57  <Viper1> You wrong
10:31:01  <Patrick`> no, you wrong.
10:31:19  <Viper1> You'll give penalty for long routing
10:31:22  <Patrick`> each load might give less but you have twice as many loads
10:31:25  <Patrick`> no, you don't
10:31:33  <Patrick`> the ONLY penalty is time.
10:31:39  <Viper1> f = 255;

10:31:49  <Viper1> }
10:31:52  <Viper1> There's code to calc income
10:31:58  <JohnUK89> Viper1, we have access to the source, thanks ;-)
10:32:19  <Viper1> As we see, income depends of "f" variable
10:32:41  <Patrick`> yes.
10:32:47  <Viper1> this may be 255 on short routs
10:32:51  <Patrick`> income also depends on the distance.
10:32:57  <Patrick`> if you double the distance, f goes down
10:33:07  <Viper1> yes!
10:33:08  <Patrick`> but (dist * f) goes up
10:33:13  <Patrick`> you fucking idiot. No offense.
10:33:18  <Viper1> no.
10:33:23  <Patrick`> yes, yes it does.
10:33:34  <Viper1> 255*10> 31*20
10:33:48  <Viper1> for example.
10:33:55  <Patrick`> yes but it does not take you a million days to go 10 tiles
10:34:05  <JohnUK89> Viper1, do me a favor and change the value of f, then recompile, see what the graph looks like then ;-)
10:34:06  <Patrick`> there is a certain speed at which what you say becomes true
10:34:18  <Patrick`> if you go so slow, then you are right.
10:34:25  <Viper1> But if I fast?
10:34:31  <Patrick`> then I am right
10:34:39  <Patrick`> that speed where it changes is about 40MPG
10:34:42  <Patrick`> *40MPH
10:34:46  <JohnUK89> If a route takes longer than 255 days (at which point f becomes 0) then there is a problem with your line
10:35:15  <Viper1> Yes,
10:35:28  <Viper1> that's prohibites me from long route building
10:35:33  <JohnUK89> No
10:35:38  <Patrick`> as long as your trains are not the cheapest type of train that exists, then you get more money from going long distances
10:35:44  <Patrick`> no matter how long or how much they cost.
10:35:47  <Viper1> Patrick
10:35:49  <JohnUK89> You being unable to plan fast routes prohibits you
10:36:04  <Viper1> look at "f" variable.
10:36:28  <Viper1> it give you, for example, 255 per square on short route
10:36:36  <Patrick`> yes.
10:36:48  <Viper1> but on long, it give you, in that example 31 per square
10:37:03  <Patrick`> if you go for that much time, you have gone a very big distance
10:37:13  <Patrick`> which multiplies up to a larger number than 255*10
10:37:16  <Eddi|zuHause> i think you did not understand the f variable correctly
10:37:27  *** StarLite [~Star@StarLite.xs4all.nl] has joined #openttd
10:37:38  <Viper1> f - prohibiting long range distance routing
10:37:40  <hylje> so if i transport stuff with (fast) trains across a 2048 tile map, f can drop to 0
10:37:42  * JohnUK89 reads where f is remapped to 31 if it is smaller than 31
10:37:48  <Viper1> Yes.
10:37:57  <Viper1> And you will not gave an income!
10:38:12  <Patrick`> no.
10:38:12  <hylje> but i recall doing that before and it did give income
10:38:22  <Patrick`> f can only ever drop to 31.
10:38:26  <Patrick`> and then you WILL get an income
10:38:38  <Patrick`> plus, because each train takes longer you need more of them, so more money
10:38:55  <Viper1> let two example trains
10:39:08  <Viper1> one of them route on 20 squares.
10:39:13  *** Ammler [~Ammler@208.156.76.83.cust.bluewin.ch] has joined #openttd
10:39:20  <Viper1> with 10 days
10:39:46  <Viper1> second train goes on 40 squares with equal speed on 20 days.
10:40:03  <Viper1> 40 days
10:40:17  <Patrick`> no, 20 days
10:40:21  <Viper1> first train make two loading
10:40:40  <Viper1> second train - make one loading
10:40:50  <Patrick`> the first train is transporting twice as much cargo per year.
10:40:54  <Patrick`> it is making maybe 10% more money.
10:41:02  <Patrick`> what you do is put two trains on the second route
10:41:14  <Patrick`> and make 180% more money out of the same cargo
10:41:37  <Viper1> Patrick, you lol. :0
10:41:48  <Patrick`> do you even know about signals?
10:42:01  <Eddi|zuHause> this formula is probably going to be considered for rebalancing if we get cargo packets
10:42:40  <Patrick`> anyway, 20 tiles in 10 days is very very slow
10:43:32  <Viper1> So my may question, "why developers prohibites players from long route building?
10:43:49  <Patrick`> Viper1: your question makes no sense. you have a flawed understanding of the game.
10:44:02  <Viper1> Dropping Per Square Income form 255 to 31.
10:44:06  <Patrick`> I have many long routes and they make £100,000 per train
10:44:10  <Patrick`> and i have 20 trains
10:44:13  <Patrick`> on each route
10:44:21  <Patrick`> that is from one 200 ton coal mine
10:44:30  <Viper1> Patrick, play at Hard level
10:44:51  <Patrick`> I play at custom where everything is as hard as it can possibly be.
10:44:54  <Patrick`> it is still too easy.

10:48:36  <Viper1> on long routes.
10:48:54  <Viper1> No more interessted there were.
10:48:59  <JohnUK89> I don't think you understand what f does
10:49:35  <Patrick`> Viper1: it is not that nobody else cares.
10:49:36  <JohnUK89> it is 255 minus the amount of DAYS the cargo has taken to get to its destination
10:49:47  <Patrick`> it is that nobody else believes you as opposed to what they see in reality.
10:50:09  <Patrick`> Viper1: yeah, 255 minus days!
10:50:13  <JohnUK89> The amount of squares is irrelevant when f is being calculated
10:50:37  <Patrick`> in your original example the train going twice as many tiles in 40 days makes more money
10:50:49  <Patrick`> I feel shame for not noticing that earlier
10:50:57  <Patrick`> and prolonging your ignorance
10:51:37  <Viper1> Jonh, player think - "Twice route, twice more money per  one transit, twice less transits"
10:51:48  <Patrick`> yes.
10:52:05  <Viper1> but, players wrong.
10:52:06  <Patrick`> instead of making twice as much money, they only make 1.9 times as much money due to f
10:52:14  <Patrick`> OH NO EVERYBODY PANIC
10:52:36  <JohnUK89> You're still making more money overall on the longer route
10:53:02  <Patrick`> we have finally found why what you believe does not agree with reality.
10:53:06  <Patrick`> now will you accept it?
10:54:56  <Patrick`> your suspicious silence tells me you are trying to salvage some dignity ;)
10:55:33  <Viper1> I think, players need such graph -
10:55:42  <JohnUK89> Viper1, it already exists
10:55:52  <JohnUK89> The players just need to use some simple maths
10:56:13  <Patrick`> now if we were closed source this would not happen
10:56:40  <Viper1> "Per square income depends on trasit days"
10:57:10  <JohnUK89> Viper1, yes, the X axis on the cargo payment rates graph shows time in days
10:58:00  <Patrick`> I told you this right as the first thing I said ;)

10:59:46  <JohnUK89> Now, any other blatantly wrong points you want to argue about Viper1 ?
10:59:57  <JohnUK89> I'm free all day ;-)
11:00:17  <Viper1> damn.
11:00:53  <Viper1> No one graph can give explaration income for certain user of certain route with certain speed and cargo.
11:01:12  <Patrick`> just trust that longer makes more money
11:01:33  <Patrick`> JohnUK89: well, I was wondering why the ottd developers chose to make the sun rise in the north .
11:02:01  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, well I'm not sure on that one...ask Darkvater ;-)
11:02:38  <Patrick`> or why truelight decided to make burgers come in packs of 6 and buns in packs of 8
11:02:44  <JohnUK89> Viper1, If you have the amount of days said cargo takes to get to its destination, the amount of units and the cargo type, as well as the amount of squares you can
11:02:49  <hylje> does yapf have a penalty if route goes through a station?
11:02:59  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, because TrueLight is strange ;-)
11:03:01  <hylje> (assuming said station is not the destination)
11:03:17  <Patrick`> is the XY thing still true?
11:03:27  <Patrick`> about delivery distance being calculated as delta_x plus delta_y
11:03:55  <Viper1> That's look like player's corp give discount for long routing.
11:04:33  <Viper1> but this discount enormous - 8.225 times
11:05:40  <JohnUK89> Viper1, explain...
11:05:50  <Patrick`> yes, that is how much more money you will get.
11:05:58  <Viper1> discount per square
11:06:08  <Viper1> Less, per square.
11:06:20  <JohnUK89> Hmm...I spy someone on MiniIN methinks
11:07:21  <Patrick`> yes, now would be the typical time when someone arguing a point about the code reveals that they are using unsupported patches which alter what they were shouting about
11:07:35  <Patrick`> "oh, I didn't think it was important " ...
11:07:39  <Viper1> f will 255 on very short routes dropping down 31 on long routes
11:08:04  <JohnUK89> Viper1, depending on time taken, remember that f is 255 minus number of days taken
11:08:14  <Viper1> Yes, of course.
11:08:17  <JohnUK89> with f's lowest value being 31
11:08:25  <Patrick`> any route that takes 200 days is very very very long
11:08:25  <Viper1> yes, of course.
11:08:32  <JohnUK89> And may I ask if you are on MiniIN?
11:08:34  <Patrick`> and goes a very long distance
11:08:35  <Viper1> yes, of course.
11:08:37  <Patrick`> perhaps 1000 tiles
11:08:43  <Viper1> Yes, it is.
11:08:53  <Patrick`> and that still makes more money
11:08:54  <Viper1> but why game get such enormous discount?
11:09:10  <Viper1> Per tile?
11:09:19  <Patrick`> because otherwise going long distances would make you a million instantly
11:09:37  <Viper1> But it's looks like real life. :)
11:09:46  <JohnUK89> Viper1, that's the idea
11:09:48  <Viper1> Two more long route - two more long pay
11:09:55  <JohnUK89> And no
11:10:01  <Patrick`> some cargo types, yes.

11:10:59  <Patrick`> however, the code currently "discounts" all cargo types.
11:11:40  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, so what Viper1 says "discount" he means "reduction in per unit payout"
11:11:49  <JohnUK89> when*
11:12:02  <Patrick`> yes.
11:12:08  <Viper1> per unit per tile.

11:12:19  <Patrick`> I'm trying not to let ESL get in the way of demolishing his argument.
11:12:22  <Patrick`> no, it is per day.
11:12:27  <Darkvater> DaleStan: brilliant reply to inverted on the forums :D
11:12:28  <Viper1> with long days
11:12:30  <Patrick`> per tile will depend on how fast the train is.
11:12:35  <Darkvater> eya TrueLight ^^
11:13:15  <TrueLight> hi Darkvater :)
11:13:26  <TrueLight> we managed to split it up a bit
11:13:30  <TrueLight> but more was almost impossible
11:13:35  <TrueLight> I hope you are happy with it :)
11:14:00  <Darkvater> yep, seen that. I won't complain about some other totally unrelated changes in the TGP code ;)
11:14:12  <TrueLight> I noticed one...
11:14:17  <TrueLight> I just can't remember it :p
11:14:51  <JohnUK89> Viper1, what do you think affects the amount of profit on a long line?
11:15:07  <Darkvater> *ehm* YEAR_ENGINE_AGING_STOPS = 2050,
11:15:09  <Darkvater> ;p
11:15:15  <TrueLight> Darkvater: ah, no, that is very much related
11:15:41  <Darkvater> const uint16 aging_date < I think this should be Date though, right Rubidium ?
11:15:55  <TrueLight> because the bug was that when you start a game in 2050, things went wrong :p
11:16:31  <TrueLight> Darkvater: nice spot, Rubidium is away, but you might be right yes
11:17:40  * JohnUK89 needs food, bbs
11:18:10  <Viper1> Jonh, players thinks, that two times long route give them two times income with two time less number of transits.
11:18:25  * JohnUK89 disrupts break
11:18:38  <Viper1> but because "f" variable - it is not correct
11:18:45  <TrueLight> Darkvater: for the CIA-alike bot I need something that converts the data to a format we like... just I dunno yet which format that should be :)
11:18:51  <JohnUK89> Viper1, wrong, because the longer route takes longer to get there

11:19:47  <Darkvater> that is what CIA used until now
11:19:49  <JohnUK89> Viper1, when the amount of days double, f does not half, it only reduces by the same amount that the amount of days have eg if it gas gone from 10 to 20 days, f will go from 245 to 235

11:22:09  <Patrick`> Viper1: not directly
11:22:10  <Viper1> But no one know, that length of route affected a per-tile pay.
11:22:29  <JohnUK89> Viper1, the length doesn't, the amount of time does
11:22:41  <Patrick`> you seem to be struggling under the wrong idea that we have somehow decieved you
11:22:55  <Viper1> Two times longer route get two times more time
11:22:55  <Patrick`> like the man who mistrusts the goverment because he thinks they are hiding proof of aliens
11:23:13  <Viper1> with equal speed.
11:23:15  <JohnUK89> Viper1, yes, but as I explained, f doesn't half when time doubles
11:23:31  <Viper1> f may drop to 31.
11:23:39  <Viper1> from 255
11:23:47  <JohnUK89> yesh, but it has to take longer that 224 days to do so
11:23:50  <JohnUK89> -h
11:23:51  <Patrick`> f only drops to 31 if you have done something wrong.
11:24:03  <Patrick`> so shut up, you are making yourself look like a man who cannot design a straight line
11:24:45  <Viper1> But why game prevents from such long tracks?
11:24:50  <JohnUK89> It took me one look at that function to know that this is what happens, and I'm not even a programmer
11:25:00  <JohnUK89> Viper1, it DOESN'T!
11:25:11  <Viper1> Heh.
11:25:25  <Viper1> Stop talking, I can explain a problem.
11:25:28  <JohnUK89> By the looks of things you must be in the 21st century on your game...stick a monorail there!
11:25:29  <Viper1> *can't
11:25:56  <Patrick`> if you build a track that is 2000 tiles long and you put steam trains on it they might take a year to go along it
11:26:02  <Patrick`> so f might perhaps be 31
11:26:05  <JohnUK89> It is simply the amount of time taken for the route that decreases payout
11:26:10  <Patrick`> but, you still make money
11:26:41  <Patrick`> Viper1: you think that as soon as you re-explain it again we will suddenly understand and agree with you?
11:26:51  <Patrick`> we already know what you are trying to say and it is just wrong.

11:29:14  <Patrick`> perhaps you think that because you can read the C that you are somehow incapable of misinterpreting it?
11:29:22  <Patrick`> TrueLight: ooh, sounds like a fun revision to check out ...
11:29:31  <Patrick`> "yes, let's haul coal from peak to peak!
11:29:38  <TrueLight> :)
11:30:14  <JohnUK89> If only you could build a bridge between two mountains ;-)
11:30:29  <Patrick`> haha
11:30:35  <Patrick`> signals on bridges, come on!
11:30:39  <JohnUK89> :-D
11:30:44  <Viper1> Let's imagine two trains running "head-to-head" on parallel tracks with equal cargo, with equal speed. All equal, but one going for 10 tiles, second for 2000 tiles. First get 255 income per every tile, second 31 per tile.
11:31:10  <Patrick`> yes.
11:31:12  <Viper1> I'm disagree this fact :)
11:31:15  <Patrick`> the second one makes more money.
11:31:16  <Nigel> yeah, i want to make complex tunnels (i.e. junctions and signals etc), and signals on bridges
11:31:34  <Patrick`> a LOT more money.
11:31:50  <Patrick`> and also you can put more trains on the second track to deliver the same amount of cargo
11:31:51  <Viper1> But per tile - more less.
11:31:57  <Patrick`> per tile, less.
11:31:58  <JohnUK89> first gets 2550, second one 62000
11:32:05  <Nigel> ohhhh I am mean, i just caused one company to delete their bus stop
11:32:08  <Patrick`> but it is only less BECAUSE you are going further
11:32:22  <Patrick`> BECAUSE you are making more money overall.
11:32:33  <TrueLight> Viper1: we call that in the real world a starting fee
11:32:40  <TrueLight> so your calculation is just wrong :)
11:32:44  <TrueLight> you start off with, say 2500
11:32:49  <TrueLight> then you get the same amount per tile :p :p :p
11:32:57  <Viper1> no,
11:33:01  <TrueLight> (where that 2500 most likely is like 100000)
11:33:08  <Patrick`> and because the second one takes 20 times longer, you make 20 times more trains and make 486 times as much money.
11:33:11  <TrueLight> euh, one 0 less :p
11:33:19  <TrueLight> anyway, it is logic that per tile is less for longer routes
11:33:40  <Patrick`> 486 times as much money out of the same cargo - that is what makes long routes worth building.
11:34:04  <TrueLight> say the per tile stays the same, then small routes are of absolute no interest, or long routes make so much money, it aint funny
11:34:12  <TrueLight> we call that balancing a game :)
11:34:26  <Viper1> Yes,
11:34:28  <Viper1> yes.
11:34:30  <Viper1> yes,
11:34:36  <TrueLight> interesting way of talking
11:34:39  <Patrick`> try talkin' dirty and playing with my balls
11:34:43  <Patrick`> (ahem.)
11:34:47  <TrueLight> Patrick`: shut up
11:35:04  <Patrick`> god, I'm sorry, did I say that out loud
11:35:06  <Viper1> I'm disagree such kind of prohibiting long range
11:35:10  <Viper1> building.
11:35:18  <Viper1> :)
11:35:26  <Viper1> such kind of balancing :)
11:35:40  <Patrick`> it does NOT PROHIBIT LONG RANGE BUILDING
11:35:50  <Patrick`> IT MAKES IT ONLY TEN TIMES AS PROFITABLE INSTEAD OF A THOUSAND
11:35:52  <TrueLight> in fact it is better to hav elong routes
11:35:54  <JohnUK89> Viper1, it doesn't prohibit it, you just need trains that are fast enough to make it worthwhile, and not lose money due to operating costs
11:35:55  <TrueLight> but Patrick`, capslock
11:36:05  <Patrick`> I used shift for all that
11:36:11  <Patrick`> and I physically shouted it as I was typing
11:36:13  <TrueLight> Patrick`: then I should kick you :p
11:36:18  <Patrick`> I mean it
11:36:20  <TrueLight> keep it friendly
11:36:21  <TrueLight> and nice :)
11:36:24  <TrueLight> no need to shout :)
11:36:24  <Patrick`> I really did yell :)
11:36:27  <Nigel> hmmm
11:36:29  <Patrick`> I feel strongly about this issue.
11:36:30  <TrueLight> he means it well
11:36:35  <Viper1> TrueLight, game sayy not this factor.
11:36:36  <JohnUK89> TrueLight, he is only trying to explain a point :-P
11:36:45  <Viper1> to playes
11:37:01  <Viper1> that long way routing get less per tile pay.
11:37:03  <TrueLight> Viper1: you don't explain all details about the economy to the player, isn't fun :)
11:37:09  <Viper1> Yes.
11:37:10  <Patrick`> Viper1: per tile is a useless measurement
11:37:16  <Viper1> economy.c
11:37:20  <Viper1> all of it.
11:37:20  <Patrick`> Viper1: because it all adds up to more than this
11:37:45  <TrueLight> internally there happens a lot more then players are told about
11:37:49  <TrueLight> which is a good thing
11:37:58  <TrueLight> I once figured out how station rating worked :p
11:38:04  <TrueLight> But do you see that back ingame? No
11:38:05  <TrueLight> no need
11:38:10  <TrueLight> die-hards know it anyway
11:38:24  <JohnUK89> Viper1, before you go on about amount per tile, work it out as profit per day, and not per train either...if a route is 30 times a long, you can add 30 trains
11:38:24  <Patrick`> it is not deception if you do not rewrite the entire sourcecode as a manual explaining how the game works
11:38:30  <TrueLight> remember that this is a game, not a real-life representation
11:39:09  <TrueLight> ingame is suggested that the longer you take to move cargo, the less you get for it
11:39:11  <Viper1> Okay.
11:39:13  <TrueLight> longer tracks take longer
11:39:18  <Nigel> too true
11:39:21  <TrueLight> so in fact it does tell that
11:39:26  <TrueLight> just not in its full detail
11:39:40  <Viper1> Yes, agreed.
11:39:44  <TrueLight> I don't know if it is possible to make a 3D graph, just to explain the distance in the calculation :)
11:39:46  <Nigel> although, in a way the time in game is out of wack
11:39:54  <TrueLight> Nigel: only the time?
11:39:55  <Nigel> but hey, it's a game
11:39:57  <TrueLight> try distance :)
11:40:09  <Nigel> TrueLight, alright. s/time/distance/
11:40:10  <Viper1> To discover, how to calc income, i must to looks at economy.c
11:40:12  <TrueLight> 1 tile is about 15km for cargo movement

11:40:26  <TrueLight> ever see a 15km long train? I mean one engine?
11:40:26  <Viper1> :)
11:40:30  <Nigel> TrueLight, thats the magic number
11:40:32  <TrueLight> Means the whole train is like 100 lm :(
11:40:34  <TrueLight> km
11:40:48  <TrueLight> ever see one of that size going 100 km/h in 2 days? :)
11:40:49  <Nigel> hmmm
11:40:50  <Viper1> I saw 6 km train )
11:40:51  <Patrick`> Viper1: no, you must *understand* economy.c
11:41:00  <TrueLight> so please do not try to scale the game to real life :)
11:41:02  <TrueLight> you will fail ;)
11:41:03  <Patrick`> not get it wrong like you have done before
11:41:06  <TrueLight> on so many levels
11:41:11  <TrueLight> (houses are HUGE)
11:41:13  <Nigel> TrueLight, i know i know
11:41:16  <JohnUK89> TrueLight, are they made of polystyrene? They're way too light for 100km trains :-D
11:41:32  <Nigel> i'm just saying it's a bit out of wack esp for innercity transit
11:41:47  <TrueLight> or when was the last time you saw a normal house using the same area of ground as a flat?
11:41:58  <Darkvater> hmm
11:42:03  <Nigel> I live in a 15km by 15km house, you need train to get round
11:42:05  <TrueLight> or road the size of a house?
11:42:10  <Nigel> :P
11:42:21  <TrueLight> and I can keep on talking about sizes all day long :)
11:42:26  <Viper1> TrueLight, does exist plan to moving to more realistic logistic?
11:42:28  <JohnUK89> TrueLight, and when was a theatre the same size as a house :P
11:42:29  <Nigel> TrueLight, it's like simcity in that respect
11:42:51  <OwenS> TrueLight: Actually, I would like to see it so that we rescale things to make them more reasonable in the new graphics, being that buildings/etc are at least 2 tiles (So they may be 15km/sq but rails are more realistic; 7.5km/sq)
11:42:57  <TrueLight> Viper1: for the economy I have plans, but for the rest, not really

11:43:13  <TrueLight> hi webfreakz
11:43:19  <TrueLight> OwenS: it would kill the game I think
11:43:25  <OwenS> How?
11:43:42  <TrueLight> I dunno, if you want to make sizes real
11:43:42  <webfreakz> openttd_vs80.vcproj is broken
11:43:45  <TrueLight> you have to do it good
11:43:56  <TrueLight> meaning a train will take several days to go like 100 current tiles
11:43:56  <OwenS> I don't want it perfect; Just less stupid

11:45:07  <TrueLight> which 'dump'
11:45:15  <webfreakz> whole SVN it think?
11:45:16  <TrueLight> webfreakz: most likely the TGP merge
11:45:17  <Nigel> the whole thing?
11:45:25  <TrueLight> Nigel: define 'whole thing'
11:45:32  <webfreakz> truelight: i already guessed that caused the problem :)

12:08:05  <TrueLight> Viper1: mostly the best thing is just to do something that somebody thinks is needed to be done
12:08:06  <TrueLight> something small
12:08:08  <TrueLight> something easy
12:08:16  <Patrick`> only not what I just did because I just did it.
12:08:21  <TrueLight> if that somebody is totally out of ideas, he can always ask me, I have tons of things :p

13:07:24  <Bjarni> no need to use make clean
13:07:48  <Bjarni> make will update the lng files and if nothing else changed, the binary will still be there and is not recompiled
13:08:30  <Bjarni> if you added/removed strings in english.txt, a recompile is needed to make the lng files compatible with the binary
13:08:49  <Bjarni> they need to agree on the number and types of strings

13:09:10  <Patrick`> ok, last question ... is there a facility for cloning one string to another in all lang files?
13:09:15  <Patrick`> or will I need to whip up a script for it
13:09:32  <Patrick`> (since they are the same string, just gui needing to add mutter mutter)
13:09:42  <Bjarni> easiest solution: if they are identically in all languages, then don't care about it
13:09:59  <Patrick`> I have to, since settings_gui apparently displays them in sequence
13:10:03  <Patrick`> and this is a new sequence
13:10:21  <Bjarni> it will use the English string if it is missing in a translation
13:10:27  <Patrick`> oh, right
13:10:35  <Bjarni> and you will not overburden the translators with a string like that ;)

13:37:26  <JohnUK89> grrrr why does Ubuntu get updates so often? I only did a 150 meg update 4 days back...and theres another 200meg waiting for me now :S
13:37:37  <Patrick`> yeah, curse them for making you secure
13:38:26  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, it's not that, it's just that I'm on GPRS for the next 2 or 3 weeks
13:38:43  <JohnUK89> Soon as I move I'll be on DSL, so it won't be an issue
13:39:39  <JohnUK89> It's rather annoying when the connection drops half way through an update
13:42:13  <Patrick`> yeah, that pesky "resume" function

13:43:14  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, well I have to reconnect, then resume it...and it's especially annoying when it's half way through the night when it drops
13:43:30  <Patrick`> aye, I guess so
13:43:33  <Patrick`> no autoresume
13:44:22  <JohnUK89> Well it'll be solved in a few weeks
13:44:45  <Eddi|zuHause> get a proxy that cloaks such connection losses
13:45:26  <JohnUK89> Eddi|zuHause, and how do you propose I use such proxy when I am already going through one
13:46:15  <Eddi|zuHause> get one proxy to use the other?
13:46:28  <JohnUK89> The proxy is T-Mobile
13:46:30  <JohnUK89> Lol
13:47:23  <Eddi|zuHause> GPRS doesn't use PPP?
13:47:45  <JohnUK89> Dunno, actually
13:49:14  <Eddi|zuHause> usually, with Modem/ISDN you establish a PPP connection to your provider
13:49:52  <Eddi|zuHause> which then redirects your acesses to the internet, usually not via a proxy
13:50:18  <JohnUK89> Well this connects to T-Mobiles proxy, which controls the traffic
13:50:38  <Eddi|zuHause> i can't imagine why GPRS connections should be different
13:50:39  <Patrick`> proxy to a shellhost
13:50:48  <Patrick`> GPRS is supposed to not drop at all
13:51:07  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, well the fact it does is my phone's fault
13:52:01  <Eddi|zuHause> well... i could imagine that T-Mobile does 24h disconnects, like T-Online
13:52:26  <JohnUK89> Eddi|zuHause, I've never had it last beyond 14 hours
13:53:52  <Eddi|zuHause> which reminds me... how do i set up a cron job doing "ifdown dsl0 && ifup dsl0"
13:53:57  <Eddi|zuHause> ?
13:54:48  <Eddi|zuHause> at, say... 7AM
13:55:00  <JohnUK89> That's an idea...can someone help me with something? I want it so every few minutes it checks whether my connection is alive or not...and if it isn't it restarts it
13:55:18  <Eddi|zuHause> ping?
13:55:18  <Patrick`> ping google.
13:55:40  <JohnUK89> But the restarting the connection if it's dead?
13:56:01  <Eddi|zuHause> see my line above... adjust for your interface
13:56:37  <Eddi|zuHause> that is, if you have set up your OS properly ;)
13:56:39  <Patrick`> Eddi|zuHause: the cron job?
13:56:47  <Patrick`> just run crontab -e as the user you want to do it as
13:57:35  <JohnUK89> Hmm...it would be easier for me to just tell it restart the connection every 5 minutes...if it's already there it won't bother
13:58:45  <JohnUK89> Well...I'll know if it does bother in 2 minutes

14:46:32  <TrueLight> okay, now we solved that... :p
14:46:42  <TrueLight> grimrc1: OpenTTD currently _needs_ pthreads
14:46:50  <TrueLight> there should be a switch to make it not depend on it
14:47:05  <Maedhros> grimrc1: i can't see why that would be a problem, unless you don't have nptl enabled...
14:47:19  <TrueLight> Maedhros: did you ever read what he wrote?
14:47:21  <grimrc1> just wondering if that *is* the reason; coz it'd take ages to recompile glibc; I'm not going to bother; presumably openttd is making a wrong assumption about threading and should use nptl anyway?  obviously, I don't know an awful lot about threading
14:47:35  <Maedhros> TrueLight: yes. he has nptlonly, which is a seperate USE flag to nptl

14:51:55  <Maedhros> TrueLight: he really should - they're both different implementations of pthreads
14:52:03  <TrueLight> so, in that case
14:52:08  <TrueLight> grimrc1: you run via ebuilds, or manual?
14:52:11  <grimrc1> thanks for confirming what I thought though; when I'm ricing I have to get to the bottom of compiler errors or it causes a lot of hurt later
14:52:18  <Patrick`> grimrc1: yes, aren't use flags wonderful
14:52:24  <guru3> time to get 0.4.8 working on my 770
14:52:27  <grimrc1> TrueLight: I emerged 0.4.8; the latest
14:52:32  <Patrick`> because everyone knows everything they'll always install in the future all the time
14:52:36  <Maedhros> grimrc1: just a thought - are you using the --as-needed LDFLAG?
14:52:53  <TrueLight> grimrc1: that makes it a bit harder... :p

14:53:46  <grimrc1> I will try for you and report back
14:53:50  <Maedhros> it tries to only link the libraries that are actually needed, rather than everything specified on the linker line
14:54:01  <TrueLight> lol
14:54:23  <Maedhros> unfortunately, it has some quirks which mean that it doesn't actually realise what it needs
14:54:50  <grimrc1> if any of you guys rice at all, check out the CFLAGS matrix on Gentoo TIPS wiki; contribute too if you find flags that break

15:00:48  <grimrc1> out of interest, does anyone know if the oil rig bug was fixed?  sometimes an oil rig would not have a station name (so you couldn't dock there), but it did have the industry part; it didn't affect all rigs on the map either
15:01:47  <grimrc1> it does compile without --as-needed

15:02:02  <TrueLight> nice catch Maedhros :)
15:02:10  <grimrc1> I'll have to update CFLAGS matrix; thanks a lot for that tip
15:02:30  <TrueLight> now I wonder who's falt it is

15:27:25  <grimrc1> 17 I mean
15:27:29  <JohnUK89> Yeah
15:27:29  <Tron> Darkvater: maybe a line explaining why exactly this function now is the way it is would've been nice
15:27:41  <grimrc1> is <18 minor or <16?
15:27:54  <JohnUK89> grimrc1, most countries hold it as <18
15:28:24  <Darkvater> Tron: the problem is, I don't know why it is as it is. I've been looking at it all day, trying various strategies and couldn't figure out the point behind
15:28:35  <JohnUK89> (Or if you're in Hull, <13
15:28:38  <JohnUK89> )
15:28:46  <Darkvater> especially the fact that checksignalproc() worked just the same with or without proper workings
15:29:07  <Darkvater> only when properly implemented, the function at about 65% of all assigned CPU time
15:29:13  <Darkvater> s/at/ate/
15:29:35  <Tron> that's simple to explain: signal propagation itself can skip over tunnels
15:30:13  <guru3> where does KMOD_CTRL come from?
15:30:42  <Darkvater> translatekeyboard or something
15:30:56  <guru3> so could i just arbitrarily use KMOD_RETURN?
15:31:08  <Darkvater> if it propagates, why is it even using the function?

15:31:23  <Tron> return is no modifier key

15:32:12  <JohnUK89> I'm moving to Leeds in a couple of weeks, so I know how you feel
15:32:23  <Darkvater> Tron: the funny part is, if I _turn_ around a train inside a tunnel, the whole thing is screwed
15:32:24  <grimrc1> I liked living in Manchester though
15:32:38  <Darkvater> v->tile is *never* swapped around on reverse inside a tunnel
15:32:50  <Tron> Darkvater: which "whole thing"?
15:33:03  <Tron> Darkvater: it's always the tile the vehicle entered the tunnel
15:33:14  <Darkvater> the assumption that inside a tunnel v->tile points to the entrance
15:33:20  <Tron> Darkvater: that's one of the reasons why i suggested to use TileVirtXY(v->x, v->y)
15:33:29  <Tron> instead of v->tile
15:34:01  <valhallasw> TrueLight was the Leiden guy here, right? :+

16:06:18  <grimrc1> though Manchester has a few rougher places
16:06:36  <Patrick`> such as stockport.
16:06:40  <grimrc1> heh
16:06:58  <grimrc1> Stockport's like a big motorway service station on the A6; except the A6 isn't a motorway
16:07:47  <grimrc1> yay I've got openttd up
16:08:50  <grimrc1> openttd would make a cool screensaver
16:11:23  <RPGprayer> hehe

16:14:15  <DorpsGek> - Codechange: GetVehicleOutOfTunnelTile() never did anything, and making it work properly only resulted in massive performance drops, and it not working properly also seemed to work, so make it not work properly once again.
16:14:17  <TrueLight> This was a test message
16:14:25  <TrueLight> Almost done :)

16:16:44  <Eddi|zuHause> (i.e CEST)
16:16:50  <TrueLight> +0000 is pretty proper

16:57:25  <grimrc1> didn't he make TTDLX?
16:57:32  <Kjetil> Chris Sawyer made it
16:57:32  <hylje> afaik no

16:57:47  <hylje> sid is/was making a train simulator tho :p

16:58:00  <hylje> civ guy
16:58:09  <grimrc1> Chris Sawyer even dropped by?
16:58:10  <hylje> and he made a pirate game too
16:58:14  <Kjetil> Some of the devs have been in contact with him regarding graphics. But he doesn't seem all that interrested
16:58:41  <grimrc1> he must have tried openttd out
16:59:01  <grimrc1> do you think he's a Gentoo ricer?
16:59:10  <hylje> dunno lol
16:59:35  <grimrc1> I bet he's on Windows

17:02:20  <grimrc1> from Chris' site: "Simon Foster is an independent freelance graphic artist who has a long association with Chris Sawyer, having created the graphics for all his games since Transport Tycoon in 1992/1993."
17:03:48  <grimrc1> from Simon's site: "That little bungalow on the left with the brown roof is my father's house. The one behind it is Chris' old house." hehe
17:04:53  <grimrc1> wonder if Simon owns the copyright to the artwork ??
17:05:44  <Kjetil> Guess what.. So does the rest of the world :P

18:11:58  <JohnUK89> lmao
18:12:32  <RPGprayer> I'm making a subway kind of thing
18:12:44  <RPGprayer> as far as it's possible to make subways in ttd
18:12:53  <JohnUK89> Lol
18:14:03  <grimrc1> I'm trying to use Openttd with gnome-screensaver; I've made the config file and it does start it in preview mode but it doesn't capture the game window inside the little box; openttd is started as a separate app.; also, running in real screensaver mode openttd doesn't seem to be started at all
18:14:07  <RPGprayer> i'm surprised the inhabitants of the town hasn't lynched me thrice over for destroying half of their town for making my evil transport empire subway thingie :/
18:15:27  <hylje> :d
18:15:31  <hylje> anyway
18:15:38  <grimrc1> anybody got experience with screensavers under Linux?  can I use openttd?
18:15:50  <hylje> i suppose subway can be done after new map array is first done
18:16:23  <hylje> because now tunnels are magic, and can't have anything in it
18:16:27  <RPGprayer> the only experience i have with linux screensavers are poking around with the 4363 ones that comes with ubuntu and thinking "LOLWOWCOOL" -_-
18:16:44  <grimrc1> LOL!!1! indeed

18:17:10  <grimrc1> last time I used Linux, it was Debian unstable 3.0 or something like that; I think screensavers must be growing exponentially
18:17:31  <RPGprayer> i don't want to know how big the list will be in a couple of years :d
18:17:50  <grimrc1> they'll be LiveCD CD 5
18:17:58  <RPGprayer> haha
18:18:01  <MeusH> my experience with screensavers on linux is that they are nice but linux isn't the best thing to do 3D
18:18:09  <MeusH> I had around 10fps
18:18:15  <RPGprayer> haha true that
18:18:32  <RPGprayer> grow little city... GROW!
18:18:39  <grimrc1> MeusH: did you go through all the setting up X and kernel for your graphics card properly (if it can be done with your particular one)?
18:19:07  <RPGprayer> i hate the fact that the diagnostic tool in ubuntu didn't show what kind of cpu the comp had :/
18:19:24  <MeusH> grimrc1: I'm not sure, I installed that ubuntu and run it, the only thing I configured was network
18:19:30  <grimrc1> RPGprayer: that's easy to do; just cat /proc/cpuinfo
18:19:35  <MeusH> now linux doesn't work at all
18:19:40  <RPGprayer> grimrc1: Say what?

18:21:53  <grimrc1> MeusH: it is a big deal setting up the kernel and xserver for your graphics card even now; depends what card you have and how recent it is; older cards just work I think
18:22:42  <JohnUK89> grimrc1, the open source driver for radeons before the 9500 has DRI, and just "works"
18:22:57  <JohnUK89> It's nvidias that take a load of arsing about to get working
18:22:57  <Sacro> its in times like this i think "WWTFSMD"
18:23:54  <grimrc1> yeah I know JohnUK89; I have the Radeon 9000 and am using open source driver; still have to recompile the kernel the right way (agpgart, agp chipset, drm and radeon) and also the Xserver
18:24:09  <JohnUK89> grimrc1, shouldn't need a recompile
18:25:00  <grimrc1> does if you start with Gentoo LiveCD I think; not sure though; I've done it already anyway

18:25:33  <MeusH> I see TGP doubles many already existing strings instead of using these
18:25:47  <MeusH> why is that? Are you preparing some lang cleanup?

18:25:56  <JohnUK89> Eddi|zuHause, GeForce 6200 here...downloaded the proprietary nvidia driver, installed it, and my X server died
18:26:08  <JohnUK89> Ends up I had to disable the AGP modules
18:26:13  <JohnUK89> and use nvidia's own one
18:26:37  <Eddi|zuHause> although my card dies if i use 3D functions... but that is a problem of the card, it was already under windows...
18:26:56  <JohnUK89> Mine works with full 3d acceleration now
18:27:03  <JohnUK89> But in PCI mode :-\
18:27:08  <grimrc1> Eddi|zuHause: haha you call that "Just Works"?
18:27:14  <hylje> :o
18:27:31  <Eddi|zuHause> well... the driver works
18:27:42  <grimrc1> I think the open source driver supports 2D on new cards
18:27:42  <Eddi|zuHause> i suspect it is a cooling problem
18:28:01  <grimrc1> Eddi|zuHause: yeah probably; you should be able to get temperature data from the graphics card I think
18:28:04  <Eddi|zuHause> 3D works also, but only for a few seconds

20:34:03  <MaulingMonkey> (and I'm hopelessly lost when it comes to OpenTTD's workings :P)
20:38:51  <MeusH> TrueLight, where can I find more info on network-info-version-3?
20:39:18  <TrueLight> MeusH: in the 2 patches :) Hehe!
20:39:32  <TrueLight> game_date and start_date are removed in v3 (the v2 ones)
20:39:48  <TrueLight> and 2 new, uint32 ones, are added at the start of the info in v3
20:41:05  <MeusH> what is the purpose of changing it?
20:41:21  <TrueLight> past2090 preperation
20:41:46  <RPGprayer> TrueLight: When will the nightly be finished, you think?
20:42:04  <TrueLight> RPGprayer: they are for 2 hours
20:42:06  <TrueLight> even more
20:42:28  <RPGprayer> TrueLight: Agh, you said 1œ 3 hrs ago
20:42:41  <RPGprayer> TrueLight: Hehe j/k :)

21:09:17  <Patrick`> if I made patches that were just extra comments, would they get accepted quickly and quietly?
21:09:26  <Patrick`> (assuming they were relevant)
21:10:37  <grimrc1> using SDL_WINDOWID you can embed openttd in another window; really strange feature of SDL!
21:11:14  <Patrick`> sounds cool
21:11:44  <grimrc1> try it; you need to use xwininfo to get the window ID of a running program (I used gcalctool); you need the hex number
21:13:35  <grimrc1> I'm trying to work out how to get openttd to work with gnome-screensaver; SDL programs won't work; I'm emerging xscreensaver now to see if that'll work
21:14:56  <Patrick`> hah, using openttd as a desktop background
21:15:13  <Patrick`> or automatically loading a little map and running it as a screensaver?
21:15:20  <grimrc1> yeah
21:15:21  <Patrick`> like the intro screen but without anything in the way
21:15:28  <TrueLight> soon I will have a tutorial alike feature
21:15:33  <TrueLight> so you can even make it move around :)
21:15:37  <MaulingMonkey> zlibstat.lib = static version of zlib?
21:15:41  <grimrc1> well!  why stop there; get a console script to connect to a full network server
21:15:43  <Patrick`> TrueLight: awesome, I remember them from the original game
21:15:49  <Patrick`> grimrc1: no, bad idea
21:15:57  <Patrick`> eats bandwidth, isn't being looked at
21:15:57  <TrueLight> Patrick`: original game?!
21:16:15  <Patrick`> yeah, I have this TTD install somewhere with 4 tutorials
21:16:24  <TrueLight> did it had tutorials?
21:16:26  <Patrick`> where the mouse pointer moves around and builds simple routes for you
21:16:27  <TrueLight> never saw them
21:16:36  <grimrc1> Patrick`: what isn't being looked at?  oh I don't mean a *full* full network server; I mean just join one with a space and spectate?
21:16:38  <Patrick`> however, the game didn't have the same random seed
21:16:47  <Patrick`> so occcasionally it would click on a newspaper about a subsidy

21:16:58  <Patrick`> and go off target and just waggle around in the middle of nowhere trying to build
21:17:06  <hylje> :<
21:17:19  <Patrick`> grimrc1: no, I mean it'd waste bandwidth and the results would probably not even be seen
21:17:26  <Patrick`> all the servers would end up full of screensavers
21:17:34  <grimrc1> suppose that's true
21:17:50  <grimrc1> they do have spectator spots though don't they?
21:18:07  <Patrick`> I guess so ...
21:18:11  <Patrick`> but still, bad idea
21:18:24  <grimrc1> you could do the same with quake as well
21:21:52  <Patrick`> TrueLight: the tutorial will need a visual cue when ctrl is held down
21:21:58  <Patrick`> it's an important aspect
21:22:43  <TrueLight> ?
21:22:53  <Patrick`> well, for signal types.
21:23:10  <Patrick`> I'm just saying what I found lacking in the original tutorial systems
21:23:15  <Patrick`> oh, and "left click, right click"
21:23:17  <TrueLight> I don't get what you say
21:23:27  <TrueLight> oh, I think I do
21:23:35  <TrueLight> yeah, it will contain many of such things
21:23:38  <Patrick`> something that appears on the screen when you play back a tutorial, that shows you what buttons and keys the recorder is doing
21:23:41  <TrueLight> and if not, there will be plenty time for you to tell me :p
21:24:00  <TrueLight> what I did for now, is to record mouse-movement
21:24:07  <TrueLight> I expected a big burst of data
21:24:13  <TrueLight> but I reduced it to a small amount
21:24:14  <Patrick`> it's a trickle really
21:24:16  <TrueLight> without you even noticing it
21:24:31  <TrueLight> The code to record commands is already there
21:24:42  <Patrick`> from the original?
21:24:43  <TrueLight> so now I just need to record key-input (mouse-input is mostly done)
21:24:48  <TrueLight> original?
21:24:53  <Patrick`> oh, sorry, you mean you've done it
21:25:00  <TrueLight> I made, more then a year ago, a demo-patch
21:25:04  <TrueLight> recorded games totally
21:25:06  <TrueLight> and could play them back
21:25:12  <Patrick`> what happened to it ...
21:25:13  <TrueLight> but it only recorded commands in OpenTTD
21:25:17  <TrueLight> so you had to scroll around
21:25:23  <Patrick`> aaaah
21:25:32  <Patrick`> now, that could be exploited.
21:25:35  <TrueLight> and Darkvater said tons of times he was going to commit it
21:25:37  <TrueLight> he never did :p
21:25:42  <Patrick`> level an area and say "build junction 7"
21:25:51  <Patrick`> this is, of course, a bad thing.
21:25:54  <TrueLight> so I took the dust off the patch, and improving it :)
21:25:58  <MeusH> TrueLight: when mouse moving, do you record each move (which is nice and detailed, but possibly eats lots of bytes), or you can select (with keyboard) which mouse states to load and mouse pointer will move straight line to that point in a given time?
21:26:00  <Patrick`> good good
21:26:01  *** TinoM| [~Tino@i5387C09D.versanet.de] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
21:26:13  <TrueLight> MeusH: it records movement
21:26:26  <TrueLight> Patrick`: playback means it loads the game attached to the demo
21:26:26  <Patrick`> MeusH: relatively it's not that much data
21:26:29  <TrueLight> so you can't exploit it
21:26:34  <Patrick`> try catting /dev/mouse some time
21:26:37  <Patrick`> or whatever it's called
21:26:41  <Patrick`> and move your mouse around
21:26:43  <MeusH> in each tick, or, say, each 10 ticks?
21:26:47  <Patrick`> it takes me maybe a minute to fill an 80x24
21:26:55  <Patrick`> that's a piffling amount of data
21:26:59  <TrueLight> Patrick`: I even record the position every X time
21:27:06  <TrueLight> I don't even check yet if it has the same value
21:27:06  <Patrick`> to synchronise
21:27:10  <TrueLight> even then, it is low on data
21:27:27  <Patrick`> record the position only at every click, it is important that those not be out of synch
21:27:36  <Patrick`> oh, and remember the random seed :)
21:28:06  <TrueLight> okay: 30ms for a tick
21:28:26  <TrueLight> every 30ms I record the position (slightly less then what OpenTTD normally does, but still below the human-eye-refresh)
21:28:34  <TrueLight> makes 30 records every second
21:28:38  <TrueLight> each taking 4 bytes
21:28:40  <TrueLight> 120 bytes a second
21:28:47  <grimrc1> what about inferring the mouse position later from the events recorded and interpolating mouse positions in-between?
21:28:47  <TrueLight> 8k every minute
21:28:50  <TrueLight> just no data at all
21:28:54  <Patrick`> yes, it's absolutely trivial amounts
21:28:56  <TrueLight> why? :)
21:28:59  <Patrick`> we're so used to things taking a lot
21:29:02  <TrueLight> for that 8k of data? :)

21:29:24  <Patrick`> that's up to screen resolutions of 2**16 :P
21:29:39  <Patrick`> there's literally no need to optimise something like that
21:29:49  <MeusH> oh yeah, TrueLight, how about handling different resolutions?
21:30:01  <TrueLight> the real problem comes with those things
21:30:05  <TrueLight> I record at 640x480
21:30:10  <TrueLight> and playback at 10000x10000
21:30:13  <TrueLight> where do you click :)
21:30:24  <Patrick`> relative to camera position
21:30:37  <Patrick`> so that if the screen is too small, you miss events off the edges

21:30:43  <DorpsGek> -Change: size selection dropdowns placement in 'Scenario type' window
21:31:01  <Patrick`> or, the mouse makes the screen move if it touches the edges
21:31:10  <MeusH> TrueLight: you shall also keep in mind that some people may have "pan window when mouse is close to edge", and others may have the toolbar on the right side instead of the left/center
21:31:15  <hylje> i'd say that the mouse has a start position and moves from it
21:31:32  <TrueLight> MeusH: remind me again when I am done :)
21:31:33  <hylje> in demo mode scroll the camera when the mouse approaches edge
21:31:35  <Patrick`> just reset all of those
21:31:44  <TrueLight> it shouldn't be any problem
21:31:45  <Patrick`> anyway, it's far from done, he says
21:31:58  <TrueLight> far is a big word
21:32:00  <TrueLight> bu tI just started yes
21:32:25  <Patrick`> anyway, who should I bug about my patch?
21:32:30  <Patrick`> or is there a queue
21:32:37  <TrueLight> there is always a queue :p
21:32:40  <TrueLight> today I won't help you
21:32:43  <TrueLight> maybe tomorrow :)
21:32:47  <MeusH> TrueLight: It may mean a total rewrite of your patch, but IMO it would be worth it - do not store all mouse moves, especially positions of clicks. How about storing an ID of clicked widget?
21:33:02  <Patrick`> (it's just a little one, but it'd be nice to get *something* into *some* OSS project other than the one I started myself that has like 2 users and one of them is me
21:33:06  <TrueLight> MeusH: why?
21:33:06  <MeusH> with stored ID of widget, there won't be problem with different resolutions
21:33:10  <glx> Patrick`: is it submitted in http://bugs.openttd.org ?
21:33:12  <TrueLight> true
21:33:15  <TrueLight> and I maybe switch to that
21:33:18  <TrueLight> if I can't fix this nicely :)
21:33:21  <Patrick`> glx: it's in flyspray as "request for comment"
21:33:34  <Patrick`> technically it's an enhancement
21:33:36  <TrueLight> MeusH: it might be a very good idea
21:33:38  <TrueLight> dunno yet
21:33:39  <MeusH> Mouse would just "go to widget #13", "left-click", "go to blah blah"
21:33:43  <TrueLight> next week I look back into it :)
21:33:49  <Patrick`> so, um, yes, it's in bugs.openttd.org
21:33:50  <MeusH> instead of "go to 700x300"
21:34:36  <Patrick`> we can brainstorm now and then let you cherry-pick what you like the look of

21:36:11  <Patrick`> MeusH: what about construction though
21:36:17  <Patrick`> you could do it on a per-tile coordinate basis
21:36:48  <Patrick`> it's actually a whole lot easier just to do it relative to the camera center and limit the window size to at *least* 640x480
21:36:51  <MeusH> go to tile 7245
21:37:09  <Patrick`> argh ... new windows open dependant on the size
21:37:16  <MeusH> click on it's 13thx8th pixel
21:37:20  <Patrick`> but limiting it to the same resolution as the recorder is a flaw
21:37:31  <Patrick`> it wasn't an issue in the original game because the screen res was always the same
21:37:44  <MeusH> Remember that tiles have fixed sizes on all resolutions

21:38:27  <Patrick`> naah, too fiddly
21:38:38  <MeusH> Patrick`, well, this may be a problem

21:44:43  <StarLite> :D
21:44:46  <Patrick`> and all those entropic bits come from user input anyway

21:44:53  <Patrick`> yes.

21:45:12  <grimrc1> the Linux random device has been carefully designed though
21:45:13  <Patrick`> the small bits of the intervals between keypresses are a perfect source of entropy
21:45:32  <Patrick`> I've also seen mouse wiggling used.
21:45:39  <grimrc1> and it probably uses the previous keypresses and mouse movements
21:45:41  <Patrick`> either way, it's cryptographically Random and not guessable.
21:45:44  <grimrc1> maybe it's for Windows
21:45:49  <Patrick`> no, this was on linux
21:46:43  <Patrick`> lets' say you measure someone's typing and it goes like, 20.76ms to press one key, then 8.94ms to the next one
21:46:59  <Patrick`> 7694, there's your random number
21:47:45  <grimrc1> but on the other hand the Linux random device collects much more entropy data and is less of an inconvenience
21:47:54  <Patrick`> not really.

21:52:49  <TrueLight> humans and random isn't a match
21:52:54  <TrueLight> never is, never was, never will be
21:52:56  <grimrc1> yeah; but humans is controversial
21:52:57  <TrueLight> a human is far from random
21:53:08  <Patrick`> ok then, tell me how many fractions of a millisecond there are between my keypresses
21:53:11  <JohnUK89> humans are very well structured, anything with structure cannot be random
21:53:24  <grimrc1> fractions of a millisecond!?  - not many
21:53:27  <TrueLight> Patrick`: okay, let me rephrase: a human entering numbers
21:53:27  <Patrick`> with enough accurracy to crack my ssh key which I generated using those millisecond
21:53:31  <Patrick`> no, no, no
21:53:38  <Patrick`> humans typing in numbers is not random
21:53:43  <Patrick`> timed events originating in a brain
21:53:56  <TrueLight> and for the rest is matters a lot what kind of random you want/need
21:54:01  <TrueLight> one that covers all the numbers in the end
21:54:11  <TrueLight> or one that doesn't mind that
21:54:25  <Patrick`> that's why there's random and urandom
21:54:27  <JohnUK89> The human brain cannot create truly random data on its own
21:54:28  <TrueLight> For the last, the best one I found, is just noise via an attenna
21:54:49  <Patrick`> JohnUK89: that's asinine
21:54:53  <Patrick`> watch an EEG.
21:54:56  <JohnUK89> :P
21:54:59  <Patrick`> does that look predictable?
21:54:59  <grimrc1> cosmic background radiation?
21:55:04  <Patrick`> the little fluctuations?
21:55:12  <TrueLight> grimrc1: exactly :)
21:55:14  <JohnUK89> Patrick`, but is it TRULY random?
21:55:18  <Patrick`> randomness is a big science and I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about
21:55:22  <JohnUK89> Or just pseudorandom?
21:55:27  <TrueLight> although CMB (Cosmic Background Radiation) isn't really random :)
21:55:30  <Patrick`> but smarter people than I know, and they've done the hard work

21:55:50  <TrueLight> I know I know

21:57:11  <Patrick`> no.
21:57:13  <Patrick`> just difficult

21:57:39  <TrueLight> (quote from a big guy at MIT)
21:57:44  <Patrick`> I know security researchers, they make me paranoid
21:57:54  <grimrc1> heh
21:57:58  <Patrick`> grimrc1: urandom doesn't block by just hashing its own output to make more
21:58:20  <Patrick`> there are guys who write drivers to make the memory in computers be constantly moved around
21:58:24  <grimrc1> yeah; but how dangerous is that really going to be?  particularly if you use it sparingly
21:58:28  <Patrick`> because a source of hard radiation can burn in the bits
21:58:36  <Patrick`> so that you can take the machine apart and read what was in the RAM
21:58:40  <Patrick`> this is stuff that really happens

21:59:22  <Patrick`> there are people whos job it is to be paranoid and skilled
21:59:30  <Patrick`> and assume bad people just as skilled as them exist.

22:07:13  <glx> twice a week
22:07:14  <MaulingMonkey> Aha, I think I've figured this bug out!  Now all I have to do is figure out how to patch it :(
22:07:45  <Nigel> werid, because the latest i can find is 11 Aug, but oh well
22:08:10  <Nigel> i think i might just build myself
22:08:11  <TrueLight> 11 Aug are latest
22:08:22  <matthias_87> can someone look at http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=26919 and say something about it
22:08:31  <TrueLight> you might have noticed too, that since then, no commits have been done :p
22:08:52  <TrueLight> so building it yourself will result in the same binary
22:09:06  <Nigel> TrueLight, yes, i was unaware of the SVN revision

22:26:05  <Bengoz> Are there any plans to integrate more patches to trunk, or do we have to just keep playing with MiniIn?
22:26:56  <Patrick`> ooh, miniIN
22:26:59  <Patrick`> they'll take my patch
22:27:02  <Patrick`> they take ANYTHING
22:27:08  <Eddi|zuHause> not all patches in miniin are meant to be included in trunk
22:27:50  <Eddi|zuHause> but trunk will get some more features before 0.5
22:29:04  <Bengoz> for example, there are some newgrf support patches
22:29:31  * MeusH thinks about semaphores before certain date by default...
22:29:41  <MeusH> why not to just commit it?
22:29:45  <MeusH> it is small and all
22:29:49  <MeusH> but it's great!
22:30:01  <JohnUK89> MeusH, why not disable electric signals before said date?
22:30:20  <Bengoz> and isn't subsidiaries patch ready to include already to 0.5? it's roadmapped to 0.6..
22:30:26  <MeusH> well some may like electric signals
22:30:30  <TrueLight> night all

22:34:58  <JohnUK89> MeusH, I spent an age downloading a package, only for the configuration to fail when it tried to download more stuff...fucking sourceforge
22:35:20  <MeusH> whoops
22:35:22  <MeusH> I hate that
22:40:22  <grimrc1> xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver don't capture openttd's graphics output; same with sdljump (another sdl game); sdl programs do take a while to start, but I doubt that's the problem

23:06:59  <Patrick`> so, how do I get a (small) patch into miniIN?
23:07:54  <Naksu> Patrick`: first, you must appease the gods of unstable branches
23:08:01  <Patrick`> huzzah
23:08:10  <Naksu> then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... WITH A HERRING
23:08:15  <Naksu> ???
23:08:16  <Naksu> profit
23:08:30  <Naksu> (sorry)
23:09:14  <Patrick`> lawl.
23:09:27  <Patrick`> it's only like 9 lines.
23:09:31  <Patrick`> I don't really care
23:09:51  <Bjarni> what is the bug?
23:09:55  <Bjarni> err, patch?
23:10:02  <Patrick`> adds "very low" industry density
23:10:06  <Patrick`> for those giant maps
23:10:08  <Bjarni> and is it buggy? :)
23:10:17  <Naksu> it makes all ui windows green on saint pat's day
23:10:18  <Patrick`> I don't see how.
23:10:25  <Patrick`> it adds a new string though
23:10:51  <Naksu> Patrick`: then it must be vetted by the new features quality assurance triumvirate
23:11:22  <Patrick`> oh, there is one bug to do with text spilling out of a widget on the terragenesis panel
23:11:27  <Patrick`> but that's layout
23:11:40  <Patrick`> I tried to fix it but that entire panel is a mess
23:11:42  <Patrick`> (no offense)
23:15:28  <MaulingMonkey> Mmmph.  Is there some bit of code that's run the first tick a train enters the station?
23:15:46  <Rubidium> Patrick`: that is know; Belugas is writing fixes for that in his XTDwidget branch (basically extending the widgetlimit with respect to clicked/disabled states)
23:15:55  <Patrick`> cool.
23:16:00  <Patrick`> so I don't need to worry about that
23:16:03  <Bjarni> <Naksu>	i dont know any tcl yet i wrote multiple scripts back when i ran a small botservice :) <-- that sounds like my encounter with SML. I started editing code for it before I even knew what language it was. I just looked at it and picked up the idea and symtax
23:16:12  <Bjarni> it ended up working... somehow
23:16:19  <Rubidium> well, it should just work fine if you're only adding strings
23:16:46  <Patrick`> yeah
23:16:49  <Patrick`> it's in a dropdown selector
23:17:55  <Naksu> Bjarni: i also did extensive eScript-scripting for POL (an UO server emulator) and the only way to learn it is by reading the code and quessing :)
23:18:17  <glx> Patrick`: your patch need to be safe for older savegames
23:18:58  <Patrick`> glx: well, it's safea
23:19:09  <Patrick`> it's just a bit blipp
23:19:14  <Naksu> also, the eScript compiler gave the best compiler error messages
23:19:24  <Patrick`> it won't take anything out of range... I don't know how to fix it though
23:19:34  <Patrick`> perhaps a specific converter for older savegames?
23:19:37  <Bjarni> Naksu: SML is function orientated. In scripting/coding, you write how to do stuff (a = func), but in SML, you write what to do, not how to do it
23:19:47  <Bjarni> very different and confusing at first
23:19:57  <glx> Patrick`: yes a savegame version bump, and on load converter
23:20:14  <Patrick`> ah, a version bump for something so small
23:20:27  <Naksu> "Your syntax frightens and confuses me." and "WAAHHH!" are two things i never want to see a compiler say
23:20:35  <Patrick`> it doesn't actually need a version bump
23:20:43  <Naksu> luckily those two were very rare
23:20:58  <Patrick`> oh, sorry, it does
23:21:05  <Patrick`> damnnit ... such a simple patch
23:21:21  <glx> yeah playing with settings is a pain :)
23:21:34  <Patrick`> hmm
23:21:38  <Bjarni> <Pikapi> but microsoft doesn't sell windows for macintosh? <-- LOL
23:21:53  <Patrick`> Bjarni: they don't forbid installs on mac hardware
23:21:55  <Bjarni> except now it's true for XP SP2 and MacIntels
23:21:59  <Patrick`> (intel macs)
23:22:14  <Bjarni> this quote predates MacIntels
23:22:23  <Patrick`> glx: so is it even worth it? what would you recommend I do
23:22:27  <Patrick`> to see if people care enough
23:22:35  <Bjarni> in short: they don't make windows for big endian systems
23:24:30  <JohnUK89> Isn't ARM big-endian?

23:28:37  <Patrick`> for such a small patch in terms of functionality as well as code
