09:39:22  <TrueBrain> somehow I think it isn't that clear...
09:39:44  <Nickman> looks cool
09:39:54  <TrueBrain> but you can't really see the topleft thing of going down
09:40:06  <Nickman> that is indeed hard to see
09:40:15  <TrueBrain> then it is always a bit hard to see
09:40:17  <TrueBrain> but still
09:40:22  <Nickman> :)
09:40:30  <Nickman> maybe you should see it on a bigger scale?
09:40:39  <TrueBrain> means adding more tiles ;)
09:40:43  <Nickman> like bigger platform

09:51:33  <Progman> TrueBrain: is it a raised tile or corner?
09:52:00  <Progman> maybe its better to use the roof-stones instead of this
09:52:14  <TrueBrain> but then you can't build on it
09:52:41  <Nickman> it's a bit slippery then :)
09:53:11  *** mikk36[EST] is now known as mikk36
09:54:51  *** Nickman is now known as Nickman^Away
09:57:05  <Progman> am I right you are using only 3 level steps instead of 4?
09:57:32  <Progman> maybe it works better if you start rasing at the edge of the tile
09:57:56  <TrueBrain> 4 steps is the next floor
09:58:14  <TrueBrain> in this case it looks like 3, but that is beause the top isn't part of the next floor yet
09:58:33  <TrueBrain> hmm, height is fucked up anyway :(
09:59:16  <Progman> can you raise a tile and post a screenshot?
09:59:49  <TrueBrain> after correcting the height, I will
10:01:39  <TrueBrain> http://devs.openttd.org/~truelight/lego031.png
10:01:42  <TrueBrain> not 100% perfect yet
10:04:49  <Progman> and if you use the relation "3 lego-steps ~ 1 ottd height"?
10:04:49  <TrueBrain> but okay, it indeed is a 3 step
10:05:52  <Progman> anyway, you get it ;)

10:23:27  <Noldo> so in that picture the top most stud of the slope is the same height as the top of the hill?

12:47:46  <Digitalfox> Hello :)
12:48:47  <Digitalfox> What do i need to create a portuguese newgrf of town names?? Decode one already existing for other language and replace names or is there some tutorial?
12:49:43  <Maedhros> this is the manual page: http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=ActionF
12:49:59  <izhirahider> Digitalfox, hey
12:50:12  <glx> Digitalfox: I converted 2 of the original OTTD townname generators into action F http://glx.dnsalias.net:8080/openttd/townname/
12:50:13  <izhirahider> Digitalfox, Sorry for that, I haven't had time for it before
12:50:19  <Digitalfox> hey izhirahider :)
12:50:31  <izhirahider> and seriously, the newgrf thing kinda turned me down considerably
12:50:45  <Digitalfox> izhirahider: I know, that's why i'm going to try
12:52:35  <izhirahider> What time do you have for it?
12:53:17  <Digitalfox> glx, tha's cool :) but if there were one in english, at least would be easier, but i can always translate sweden to english and then english to portuguese :)
12:53:24  <Digitalfox> izhirahider: A lot ;)
12:54:15  <glx> Digitalfox: I can't convert the english generators because they use ReplaceWord()
12:54:25  <Digitalfox> ok
12:54:59  <Digitalfox> So anyone knows a good site for translating sweden to english? ;)
12:55:30  <glx> what do you want translate?
12:55:51  <colle> http://lexin.nada.kth.se/swe-eng.html
12:55:52  <glx> there are just list of townname parts
12:58:10  <Digitalfox> Well, for me is easy to just translate the names on sweden to portuguese and try to make the newgrf worl well :)
12:58:27  <izhirahider> it doesn't work like that Digitalfox
12:58:32  <glx> you want to translate townnames?
12:58:36  <izhirahider> our town generator is much more complex
12:58:41  <izhirahider> it requires programming
12:58:56  <izhirahider> I'm affraid newgrf doesn't allow that, only combinations per se
12:59:54  <Digitalfox> Well i'll give it a shot anyway!
13:01:36  <glx> jpset_namw.grf uses only full names
13:01:57  <Digitalfox> ok
13:02:10  <Digitalfox> I'll try and see what i can do..

13:26:39  <Eddi|zuHause3> <Noldo> the slopes aren't exactly the same color in the originals <- yes, but here, slopes are not slopes, but steps of flat tiles, so you don't have "lighting effects" to explain the colours (especially on the backwards slopes)
13:26:50  <Nickman^Away> it's a bit to green i think TrueBrain... :D

13:39:04  <frosch123> The advertisment on openttd.org
13:39:31  <Belugas> TrueBrain, i guess that blender is good, but doing some manual modifications are good too :)

13:44:40  <frosch123> Well, it links to a page, where it seems you could buy TTDX with win XP support for 4.99 pounds.
13:45:16  <frosch123> But the FAQ says: "All the games mentioned on this site are Abandonware. We do not sell these games. What we do sell, is the ability to play these games on Windows XP. The money that you pay, is ONLY buying our software and packaging costs."
13:45:39  <frosch123> So I guess, they sell TTDP on a nice CD or something.
13:46:03  <ln-> well that's not illegal.
13:46:20  <frosch123> No, I just asked, who wants to buy TTDP for 4.99.
13:46:31  <Belugas> ho... TTDX...  I kinda remember an offer similar to that one, but with the screenshot provided, it looked more like OTTD then TTDP
13:46:37  <ln-> if they sell the "abandonware" game too, then it is illegal.
13:46:46  <Belugas> it was on EBay, IIRC
13:47:21  <frosch123> Well the abandonware thingy is only in the "tiny things". I cannot see it on the main selling page.
13:48:01  <Noldo> quite interesting business logic I have to say
13:56:17  <skidd13> Today I found out a quite interesting point regarding the legal existence of openttd. Even if ATATRI forbids OpenTTD (What isn't legal anyway) they have to pay all the developers and patch writers for their work. =) And they probably won't.

15:03:34  <svip> Should I add a button to the railway/road/etc. building toolbars.
15:03:40  <svip> Or to the main toolbar.
15:05:52  <Eddi|zuHause3> maybe add a submenu to the landscaping button, one entry opens the terraforming toolbar, and the other the "land usage" toolbar, with different sets of highlighting filters (town rating, tile owner etc.)
15:06:16  <Eddi|zuHause3> railtype!!
15:07:08  <Eddi|zuHause3> it's one of the long standing feature requests, a way to easily spot stray unelectrified pieces of rail
15:07:46  <Eddi|zuHause3> and the tile highlighting sounds like the perfect solution

16:12:24  <TrueBrain> via wiki
16:12:31  <TrueBrain> in a blender file
16:12:34  <TrueBrain> not the most clear way, if you ask me

16:14:01  <svip> Hm, Eddi|zuHause3.
16:14:07  <svip> I have formed an idea!
16:14:24  <TrueBrain> oh-oh
16:14:32  <Nickman> :D
16:14:38  <svip> How about we allow the users to pick which "tile" type they want to use for a specific highlight.
16:14:40  <Sacro> TrueBrain: did you see my rendering?
16:14:47  <TrueBrain> Sacro: I believe so yes
16:14:49  <svip> Like "use select highlight for A, and inner highlight for B."
16:14:49  <TrueBrain> it was pretty nice :)
16:15:03  <TrueBrain> too bad it is almost imposisble to go from MLCad to any real renderer
16:15:12  <Sacro> TrueBrain: real... like POV-RAY?
16:15:19  <svip> So there will be small drop down menus showing all possible zoning.
16:15:20  <TrueBrain> POV really sucks :s
16:15:21  <Sacro> or like Blender?
16:15:40  <Sacro> you can go ldraw -> blender

16:18:53  <Eddi|zuHause3> svip: hm, i don't really like that idea... either only use the inner highlighting, or make a colour variant for the outer highlighting, if it would collide with mouse selection (white, red, blue)
16:19:00  <TrueBrain> currently I am confirming my upwards slope is pixel perfect
16:19:05  <TrueBrain> and it is :) :)

16:19:27  <TrueBrain> not 100%

16:31:54  <_Ben_> TrueBrain is it the slightly increase for the 4th step thats a bit wrong?
16:31:57  <Priski> lego theme would be lot nicer than toyland
16:32:13  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: yes, the height of a single tile just doesn't work out with the next tile
16:32:19  <TrueBrain> so step 1 and step 4 are a mismatch
16:32:21  <TrueBrain> about 0.2 pixel :p
16:32:36  <_Ben_> It seems to work really nicely on the slope on the bottom right, why not mirror that?
16:32:56  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: they _are_ mirrored... Blender -> Anim, 4 frames with different viewpoint
16:33:21  <_Ben_> I mean mirror the render (for the bottom to front facing sides
16:33:28  <_Ben_> )

16:35:55  <TrueBrain> bah, even thinking seems to fail.. it is hot in here :(
16:36:48  <Wolf01> i hope that when you'll finish it you'll remember to credit me :D

16:37:38  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: btw, thisone you might know: the backwards going down thingies have very bad depth view, because the light comes from the front (where the user looks from)
16:37:48  <TrueBrain> any easy way to give it back some depth prespective?

16:38:18  <_Ben_> brightness-contrast in PS, or paint.net (not shore about gimp).  maybe hue-saturation a little also
16:38:27  <TrueBrain> is it possible via Blender?
16:39:05  <_Ben_> hmm, yes, changing the diffuse settings should do it, I'm not exactly shore how to do that, I always do it post render, as its quicker to get correct
16:39:14  <TrueBrain> hehe :)
16:39:33  <svip> Does WE_PAINT mean?
16:39:40  <TrueBrain> any chance you also know how to change the grid-size in Blender? :p
16:40:10  <Wolf01> svip: put there what you need to paint
16:40:19  <svip> As in drawing the window?
16:40:21  <Wolf01> is a window event
16:40:42  <Wolf01> usually there you draw the widgets and other things
16:41:02  <_Ben_> TrueBrain: no idea I'm affriad.  The grid is usually just used to give an idea of scale, you move things relative to it, rather than changing it
16:41:13  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: but you have this lovely clipping

16:41:22  <TrueBrain> clipping = snap
16:41:32  <TrueBrain> having lego it would be very useful to use snap to grid :)
16:41:37  <Wolf01> TrueBrain, but in lego you can see the grid :D
16:42:08  <svip> Okay...
16:42:12  <svip> That's a pretty messed up window.
16:42:15  <Wolf01> in temperate you don't... at least, i've never seen a grid around in real world
16:42:18  <_Ben_> ah, I see what you mean.  In max its called the angle snap toggle.  I'm not shore where that is in blender, but try searching for that name

16:46:44  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: Nickman had to idea to only allow .blend files to be uploaded for the 32bpp website, so we have the source files, instead of just the PNG.. bad idea / good idea?
16:47:12  <Nickman> and we render the PNG files ourselfs on a server ;)
16:47:27  <Nickman> (I could provide some CPU power for that matter ;))
16:47:36  <_Ben_> TrueBrain, It would certaintly be a good idea to get hold of the source of models, otherwise preview shots are nothign more than a teezer
16:48:03  <TrueBrain> but are .blend files all that we need? I mean, you already talk about doing it post-render, some changes
16:48:18  <Nickman> I think the .blend files (or other "source" files should be neccesary) and maybe the PNG should be uploaded to...
16:48:48  <_Ben_> 2 problems.  a lot of people don't use blender, including myself most of the time.  2)  a lot of people seem to be reluctant to release models under gpl, but would prefer credit (cc-sa)
16:49:04  <Nickman> credit CAN be provided...
16:49:13  <Nickman> that won't be much of a problem I think?
16:49:23  <Nickman> the one that uploads the source gets the credit...
16:49:41  <Noldo> Nickman: gpl doesn't promise that everybody who uses the file gives credit
16:50:02  <TrueBrain> credits aren't the problem, as long as we, as OpenTTD Developers Team, are free to do with the graphics (and source files) what ever we want
16:50:10  <TrueBrain> I have no idea which licenses provide that :)
16:50:15  <Nickman> No, but when they upload the file to this site, their name is next to it, so whoever downloads them, sees who it is from...
16:50:29  <TrueBrain> Nickman: more when we release a 32bpp set (if ever)
16:50:45  <Nickman> what do you mean? The credit will be gone then?
16:51:04  <TrueBrain> Nickman: there are, what, 10000 images?
16:51:12  <_Ben_> hmm, well if its specific to openttd, they could be completly copyright as long as there is personally permission that openttd can use them, and release them.  But then the release of openttd with graphics would have to hold that liecence, so if its all gpl as it currently is?  then there would be an issue
16:51:17  <Nickman> Place it somwhere in a txt file or somthing, where do the credits of the developers go? :)

16:51:41  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: I will ask around which licenses fits both
16:51:43  <Nickman> yeah...
16:51:47  <Nickman> (y)
16:51:48  <Nickman> oeps
16:51:54  <Nickman> no kick TrueBrain :s
16:52:13  <_Ben_> cool, cheers.  Would be nice to resolve that.  I think a lot of artists would be motivated if credit is enshored
16:52:31  <TrueBrain> credits, as in, naming who made which image, can't be a real issue
16:52:34  <TrueBrain> just it will be a long list :p
16:52:38  <Nickman> where are the credits of the developers?
16:52:41  <TrueBrain> readme.txt
16:52:41  <Nickman> yeah... indeed
16:52:44  <Nickman> well
16:52:48  <Nickman> make the list longer when needed ;)
16:53:20  <TrueBrain> ideal, for us, would be that they give up the credits as GPL to OpenTTD Developer Team, and get credits in graphics.txt or what ever :)
16:53:44  <_Ben_> yeah
16:54:24  <Nickman> credits won't be that big of a problem I think :)
16:54:31  <Nickman> there are a lot of ways of handling it
16:55:19  <Nickman> I'm off to dinner ;)
16:55:21  <Sacro> TrueBrain: i can't release models under the GPL
16:55:21  <Noldo> GPL is a not the clearest license there is when it comes to media files
16:55:39  <TrueBrain> I believe Creative License is the counter-part of GPL for images?
16:55:41  <Sacro> at least, i don't think so

17:01:48  <Tekky> Hi, I have a short question: The Signls Auto Completion Patch is in trunk, but not the corresponding signal GUI, is that correct?
17:02:08  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: all my objects are linked to one single object, so changes to materials is instant for all :p
17:02:25  <Wolf01> (and since the work is based on my hard work, maybe is me who should decide what license to use, don't you think so?)
17:02:40  <_Ben_> ah, referenceing meshes.  Thats pretty efficient

17:05:03  <TrueBrain> how is your road going?
17:05:03  <Wolf01> the idea is mine, the images are derived from my work :)

17:05:03  <TrueBrain> cool :p
17:05:03  <TrueBrain> but don't worry, you will get the credit you deserve :p
17:05:03  <Wolf01> i copyrighted the use of 4 studs per side
17:05:05  <TrueBrain> nah, Wolf01, I doubt I will ever finish this any way, I just want to see if 32bpp has enough in it to make stuff like tiles :)
17:05:06  <Wolf01> so you can use from 1 to 1000000 but not 4 or 0
17:05:12  <Wolf01> :D
17:06:06  <Wolf01> why not?
17:06:20  <TrueBrain> too much work :p :p

17:13:35  <Sacro> yes we can
17:13:43  <_Ben_> the nice thing about a lego set is that it would only take a short while to create all the bits in one blend file, then just reference that and build up many models
17:13:44  <Sacro> either through pov-ray, or blender

17:13:59  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: exactly what I am trying to do right now :)
17:14:14  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: just it takes a bit of time.... as Blender isn't the most logic application :(

17:15:30  <TrueBrain> so I can scale down the Z an extra 50%
17:15:34  <Sacro> you can't make anything good out of duplo
17:15:41  <Sacro> the bricks are too big
17:15:48  <TrueBrain> no, the idea was: ground-tiles are 4x4
17:15:51  <TrueBrain> but you build 16x16 on them
17:15:53  <_Ben_> hmm, I could model up some lego bits quite quickly maybe...although I havn't got the time at the sec.  I have a lego man if its ever needed though! < http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/ben_robbins_/?action=view&current=legoman4.png
17:16:02  <Wolf01> but you can stick together duplo with normal lego
17:16:06  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: the lego man was very cool :)
17:16:18  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: and you spent time on things that are much more important (temperate climate :p)
17:16:25  <TrueBrain> and let us fiddle around with lego ;) hehe :)
17:16:54  <TrueBrain> oh, yes, now the scale is much better :) :)
17:16:56  <_Ben_> ar crap, so tempting...A lego set would be so good, although I would love to do x4 zoom for that also
17:17:13  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: the stuff I currently make is x4 zoom ready I believe :p
17:17:23  <TrueBrain> but okay, lego is limited in size

17:17:38  <TrueBrain> we need thatone :p
17:17:47  <Noldo> Thomas!
17:18:01  <_Ben_> thats sweet.  Maybe I'll make some lego bits later tonight.  Still messing with scaling at the moment, trying to work out some decent ratios

17:18:52  <TrueBrain> as you can see, enough stuff to base our work on :p
17:20:35  <glx> Wolf01: so 4x4 duplo means 8x8 "normal"
17:20:41  <Wolf01> yes
17:20:46  <TrueBrain> glx: 8x8 indeed
17:20:54  <TrueBrain> silly me with 16x16.. that is wrong :)
17:24:26  <_Ben_> TrueBrain: I proposed that trains could be made to 1:2, but I think I'm going to change that back to 1:1.  I said it because of tunnels and bridge, but I think we can get away with it if the tunnels are modelled well.  But the other concern would be train length.  Is it plausable that trains will be able to be longer at some point?  If so, would we need to model the trains in elements so parts of the train can disapear at differnt times as it goes into a tunne
17:24:27  <_Ben_> l?
17:25:01  <TrueBrain> _Ben_: I truely wouldn't know
17:25:14  <TrueBrain> I think a wagon shouldn't exceed a single tile for now
17:25:54  <Nickman> so, any progress on the lego TrueBrain? :)
17:25:56  <_Ben_> the tunnels only give room for about half a tile long trains really, so for that problem 2 or 1 tiles would be the same
17:26:22  <Belugas> personally, if you ask me, i would way that the proportions of today's game should not change in any kind of 32bpp project.
17:26:24  <Eddi|zuHause> Tekky: no, a different auto completition patch is in trunk, which has no gui
17:26:26  <TrueBrain> hmm.. Rubidium / peter1138 / Maedhros: any input from you guys on this?
17:26:33  <Belugas> would loose the aspect., the feel..
17:26:52  <TrueBrain> I agree with you Belugas
17:26:58  <TrueBrain> I personally dislike big-anything
17:27:01  * Belugas hugs TrueBrain
17:27:01  <TrueBrain> brrrr
17:27:12  <Nickman> :p
17:27:20  <TrueBrain> but that is just personally :)
17:28:09  <Belugas> i know!  We should ask athanasio :) such a priceless resource ;)
17:28:31  <TrueBrain> :)
17:28:36  <TrueBrain> Nickman: I believe I finally got it :)
17:28:45  <TrueBrain> trying them in game right now...
17:28:47  <Nickman> the logo's?
17:28:49  <Nickman> lego's
17:28:50  <TrueBrain> oh boy oh boy :)
17:28:52  <_Ben_> I think we should keep them as close to the original as posible, but at higher zoom things need to be scaled consitently, and there is little consitency for original graphics.  When you zoom in an see a TGV that is only 6.25m long it really looks odd.  It would be nice to have the width/height scales the same, but allow full length, and that wouldn't effect game play dramatically
17:28:59  <Rubidium> (rail)road vehicles must not exceed the current size of the vehicles, otherwise you are going to get into one *very* big hell with blitting and such. Even though it's fairly broken at this moment, it is going to get much worse with larger vehicles.
17:29:00  <Nickman> show us!!! :D
17:29:10  <TrueBrain> DOH! Almost :'(
17:29:39  <Rubidium> and stop using those "measures" everyone has given for the size of a tile. They do not apply to anything.
17:29:50  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: take a deep breath :)
17:29:50  <Eddi|zuHause> hm, for lego vehicles, 16x16 would be a much better scale
17:30:06  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: YOU wanted my input ;)
17:30:08  <TrueBrain> let me explain a few things Rubidium: currently we are trying to gather information for artists to create 32bpp image
17:30:11  <TrueBrain> it needs a guideline
17:30:20  <Belugas> _Ben_, although i understant your point, i think that changing proportion ingame, depending of the zomm level, might bring a whole lot of problems, been technical or visual or even else
17:30:23  <Eddi|zuHause> means a vehicle can be 4x8
17:30:51  <TrueBrain> bah, so close, yet so far away :(
17:30:52  <glx> a small lego wagon (no bogie) is 6x16
17:31:07  <Rubidium> TrueBrain: but the "measurement" that a tile is *always* 12.5 or 25 meter is stupid and won't work.
17:31:09  <TrueBrain> Belugas / glx: you 2 were right, making it brighter did do the trick, just not in the way I expected :)
17:31:24  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: therefor _Ben_ suggested to scale Trains and Aircrafts 1:2, and Ships 1:3 I believe
17:31:25  <Belugas> French Power!!
17:31:28  <Eddi|zuHause> glx: all cars i have seen are 4x??
17:31:28  <Rubidium> in that case the steel mill would span the whole map
17:31:28  <TrueBrain> the reason we have this talk :)
17:31:36  <Rubidium> and a big oil tanker 60 tiles
17:32:00  <_Ben_> big oil tankers (biggest in the world) would be 8
17:32:01  <glx> Eddi|zuHause: cars are 4x yes but wagons are 6x
17:32:16  <Eddi|zuHause> i have never had lego rail...
17:32:17  <_Ben_> a more suitable one for the game could be modelled to be about 3-4 and still look plausable
17:32:35  <glx> I only have http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7710
17:32:44  <Eddi|zuHause> and the monorail stuff (airport shuttle, space shuttle) were also 4x??

17:33:52  <svip> But how do I do that?
17:34:01  <Bjarni>  <Eddi|zuHause> i have never had lego rail... <-- poor you. The 12 V system was pretty cool. You could put the tracks on normal blocks/plates and if you put two plates next to it, it would be at the same level as the rail, so cars could drive on it
17:34:03  <glx> TrueBrain: yes better like that
17:34:05  <Rubidium> in my opinion we should keep to the current scaling of vehicles and structures. Changing the scaling makes it impossible to have 8bpp and 32bpp with the same binary.
17:34:05  <TrueBrain> as you can see btw, the tileset is getting there... REALLY close now :)
17:34:12  <svip> I mean, how do I create the widget and refer it to a specific area in the window?
17:34:17  <Bjarni> so yes, I built a combined road/rail ferry :)
17:34:18  <Nickman> looking good TrueBrain, only need more depth now :D
17:34:30  <TrueBrain> Nickman: it has as much depth as the original set
17:34:38  <Nickman> yeah, but it looks flatter :D
17:34:45  <TrueBrain> that is because not all tiles are finished
17:34:53  <TrueBrain> or you mean it the other way
17:34:55  <_Ben_> Rubidium, the problem is there is no current scale, its a mix.  Its very hard to model to that
17:34:56  <TrueBrain> on which I say: who cares :p
17:35:03  <Nickman> I think it needs some harder outlines :)
17:35:08  <Nickman> ;)
17:35:21  <Bjarni> I think the elevation will appear better when the steep slopes are done as well
17:35:21  <TrueBrain> but okay, bbl
17:35:29  <Nickman> ;)
17:35:29  <Rubidium> _Ben_: maybe it's hard to model, but having 8 tile ships is even harder to program correctly
17:35:55  <_Ben_> Rubidium, I think a 3 tile ship could be plausable for an oil tanker, and that is as large as they would be
17:35:56  <Eddi|zuHause> svip: maybe look how the transparency gui did it
17:36:13  <_Ben_> at 1:3 wich is the proposal a hover craft would be about 1.2 tiles, wich is the same as it is currently
17:36:20  <Rubidium> _Ben_: graphically maybe, but technically it's virtually impossible
17:36:36  <Bjarni> _Ben_: yeah, and it would look better if the ships are unable to move through each other, but we need some better code to handle it
17:36:44  <_Ben_> rubidium, technically in what sence? reality, or are you refering to programming?
17:36:47  <Rubidium> as you need to extend the pathfinders heavily to find routes that are *at least* 3 tiles wide
17:37:00  <Eddi|zuHause> _Ben_: he means programming
17:37:10  <Rubidium> the docks need to become 3 tiles longer, ship "depots" need to be much bigger
17:37:26  <_Ben_> Rubidium, a oil tanker wouldn't be 3 tiles wide, I was refering to length
17:38:23  <_Ben_> Rubidium, for realism the dock would need to be 3 tiles long, but there is no reason that it couldn't work on a current dock
17:38:28  <Rubidium> _Ben_: but when it needs to turn, the length of the ship has to still fit in the water
17:39:21  <_Ben_> that is true.  A better example for a problem would be the a380 scaled at 1:2.  It would struggle around the current airports..
17:39:21  <Rubidium> i.e. when going around a sharp corner there must be enough space so the ship "fits" in the water and doesn't go onto land
17:40:22  <_Ben_> is it not proposed/intended to have differnet water depths?  larger ships should stay in deeper water, that way they would avoid coast. (I've probably scanned over a tricky problem rather casually there)
17:40:29  <Belugas> svip, almost anything that you declare in the widget array can be a button.  But look more to something like WWT_TEXTBTN,WWT_PUSHTXTBTN and others alike

17:40:44  <Rubidium> well, *any* vehicle bigger than 1 tile is getting blitting errors that are most likely virtually impossible to solve nicely. And any (rail)road vehicle larger than 1/2 a tile is going to get the same issues.
17:40:53  <Belugas> svip: they are grouped in the arrays of type Widget

17:41:53  <Belugas> pretty easy, once you now how it workd :)
17:41:58  <svip> :< Yeah.
17:42:37  <Rubidium> _Ben_: but with deeper water, you still need the "deep" water part to be wide enough to turn etc.
17:42:53  <_Ben_> rubidium, would deep water exsist next to land?
17:43:19  <svip> :[ Eddi|zuHause, I tried.
17:43:22  <svip> But I still can't figure it out.

17:43:37  <svip> Some magic is going on.
17:43:38  <Rubidium> no, but ships that need deep water should not be in shallow water

17:43:40  <_Ben_> rubidium: for planes/ships its actually less of a concern I think, as we can make them only up to a certain size and have all the rest a beleivable size.  But for trains, nearly every single train that is width/height to a beleivable scale, is way longer than half a tile.

17:44:22  <Greyscale_> what the crap?
17:44:49  <Noldo> you need to fake the revision

17:45:11  <Greyscale_> the *server* is norev000
17:45:12  <Noldo> ah ok
17:45:21  <Belugas> _Ben_, one thing for sure, if rescaling for train occurs, pretty good chances that newgrf support (as we know it) would have to be disabled, to some degree
17:45:31  <Rubidium> obviously you have to fake the revision of the client
17:45:34  <Belugas> trains and vehicls would bnot follow the same rules

17:50:53  <Eddi|zuHause> svip: what is the error it actually gives?
17:51:10  <Rubidium> svip: casts have higher priority than +
17:51:21  <Eddi|zuHause> svip: i assume its a priority error
17:51:32  <Eddi|zuHause> so add ()
17:53:12  <svip> Woo.
17:53:14  <svip> That worked.
17:55:28  <Belugas> _Ben_, maybe there are stuff that could be simply deactivated on the fly... don't know with precision.  But i thnink that while no sets are available, it would be pretty much like blowing in the wind...
17:55:49  <svip> Ugh.
17:55:54  <svip> Now it crashes horribly.
17:55:57  <Belugas> but looking at how george's long vehicles can sometimes present strange behaviours, i would say there are indeed much work to be done
17:56:01  <Belugas> good for you svip :)
17:56:01  <svip> Error: !String 0x1B01 is invalid. Probably because an old version of the .lng file.
17:56:06  <Belugas> bad for you :(
17:56:06  <_Ben_> Belugas/Rubidium:  Is there a way that rather than trains going into tunnels and popping out the other side as 1 graphic, that artists could make trains out of more than 1 sprite, but work as 1 train?.  That way they can disapear in steps as they go into the tunnel.. (again, I'm treading into an area I don't really understand, but its just an idea)
17:56:30  <_Ben_> the other option, which I would do in premier is masking, rather than getting rid of elements of the sprite, just mask it out
17:56:43  <Rubidium> then that vehicle will "bend" in corners
17:56:50  <Belugas> dunno, really dunno
17:57:32  <_Ben_> rubidium: I don't mean that 1 train is made from 2 units, but just 2 sprites.  So usually they would work as 1
18:04:05  <Greyscale_> _Ben_, easier solution:
18:04:24  <Greyscale_> Have the train go through the tunnel tile itself and have the tunnel sprite be made of two
18:04:27  <Greyscale_> front and back
18:04:35  <Greyscale_> and just pass the train sprite between
18:04:50  <Greyscale_> </no idea what he's talking about>
18:06:18  <Rubidium> _Ben_: then the train is made up as two units, *or* you want to rewrite the complete backend of OTTD, which isn't going to happen on such scale
18:06:55  <Rubidium> Greyscale_: obviously yes. The problem is that the train part is going to show over the stuff drawn on the tile *after* the tunnel entrance.
18:07:15  <Greyscale_> then hide it after the tunnel entrance
18:07:24  <Greyscale_> just make it invisible :o
18:07:25  <Greyscale_> or something
18:07:27  <Greyscale_> I dunno
18:07:30  <_Ben_> sigh, thats what we are talking about
18:08:20  <Rubidium> Greyscale_: that is what happens and requires the trains to be at most half a tile long...
18:08:35  <_Ben_> rubidium: right, well a rewrite of the backend of OTTD obviously isn't an option!
18:08:57  <Greyscale_> :|
18:09:06  <_Ben_> rubidium:  So 1 unit can only hold 1 sprite for a train?  And that/those sprite/s must appear/dissapear at the same point?
18:09:20  <Greyscale_> anyway, I wish there was another way of running it other than in screen
18:09:25  <Rubidium> _Ben_: rewrite meaning completly starting from scratch
18:09:26  <Greyscale_> like, a deamonise function

19:57:27  <Bjarni> I disagree
19:57:33  <svip> Oh.
19:57:34  <Bjarni> I'm the mac porter
19:57:34  <svip> How so?
19:57:42  <svip> I did not realise.
19:57:49  <svip> I haven't checked the credits yet.
19:57:55  <Bjarni> you should
19:58:01  <svip> Hm.
19:58:14  <svip> I am just wondering...
19:58:21  <svip> Never mind.
19:58:31  <svip> If Christ Sawyer should follow Toys for Bob.
19:58:35  <svip> -t
19:58:59  <Bjarni> I know some people think of him as a god, but still....
19:59:31  <svip> :/ Toys for Bob released their major game's source code ten years after it was released (1992).
19:59:54  <svip> "The project began in 2002 when the original creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III released the source code of the 3DO version as open source under the GPL."
20:00:52  <Eddi|zuHause> svip: the problem is a) that CS repeatedly stated that he does not like what people have done to "his" game, and b) that he probably does not have the (sole) copyright to release anything
20:00:55  <svip> But sadly, SC2 isn't as free as OTTD.
20:01:30  <svip> a) < And yet people see him as a god.  b) < Makes sense.

20:03:26  <Rubidium> the t is too far from the s and the spacebar for it to be a typo ;)
20:03:40  <svip> :/
20:03:56  <_Ben_> haha..hmm
20:03:59  <Eddi|zuHause> but that would imply that you see christ as god, which is clearly not the case either :)
20:04:07  <svip> Rubidium, sometimes you start a word, and then you forget how you wanted to end it, and you end up typing something else.
20:04:14  <svip> Because you don't type by character, you type by word.
20:04:19  <Eddi|zuHause> christ is, if anything, the "son of god"
20:04:27  <svip> Accordingly he is also god.
20:04:36  <svip> The son of god is also god.
20:04:44  <svip> That is like giving birth to yourself.
20:04:45  <Eddi|zuHause> only if his dad dies, and he inherits the family company :)
20:04:52  <svip> Makes sense?
20:04:54  <svip> I thought not.
20:06:09  <Eddi|zuHause> you clearly missed the point where it says "you shall not have any gods beside me"
20:06:41  <Bjarni> maybe he is a polytheist
20:07:06  <svip> Hm.
20:07:09  <svip> Did I say "a god"?
20:07:11  <svip> I think not.
20:07:17  <svip> But I am neither.

20:07:57  <Eddi|zuHause> you are, you just do not recognise it
20:09:06  <Eddi|zuHause> i totally believe that there is someone who has "root-access" to the "universe-simulator"
20:09:15  <svip> :|
20:09:24  <svip> That is not being religious.
20:09:41  <Eddi|zuHause> so, what do you think "being religious" is?
20:09:54  <svip> Is to commit yourself to a bigger project.
20:10:15  <svip> But regardless of evidence against your project.
20:10:24  <svip> You refuse to disconnect.
20:10:28  <Eddi|zuHause> and what do you work for? money? then money is your religion...
20:10:35  <svip> Work?
20:10:38  <svip> There is not work in it.
20:10:52  <svip> By project I mean a group/community.
20:10:59  <svip> Not a project as building a house.
20:11:12  <svip> Eddi|zuHause, I'd like if you stop putting words in my mouth.

20:11:37  <svip> My English sucks.
20:11:37  <Eddi|zuHause> that is not part of any definition of "religion"
20:11:46  <svip> I am quite aware.
20:12:14  <Eddi|zuHause> it may be part of some interpretations of certain churches, but that is not what religion is about
20:12:54  <svip> But religion is not about you believing some one has a root-access either.
20:13:28  <Eddi|zuHause> by the words of my maths teacher: religion is a set of rules, that can neither be proven nor disproven
20:13:52  <Eddi|zuHause> (followed by the words: by that definition, maths is the only religion)
20:14:09  <svip> Indeed.

20:51:33  <Tekky> I am currently studying the YAPF source code which makes heavy use of templates and I don't understand the following piece of code:
20:51:34  <Tekky> template <class Types>
20:51:34  <Tekky> class CYapfFollowAnyDepotRailT
20:51:34  <Tekky> {
20:51:34  <Tekky> public:
20:51:35  <Tekky> 	typedef typename Types::Tpf Tpf;
20:51:57  <Tekky> I don't understand what Types::Tpf means?
20:52:38  <Tekky> does this mean that Types must be of a variable type which has a Tpf member?
20:53:22  <Rubidium> no, Types is a class, which has Tpf as declared type
20:53:23  <Tekky> i.e. the class that is used in "Types" must have a Tpf tpedef?
20:53:30  <Tekky> tpedef= typedef
20:54:41  <Tekky> that means that only classes with a Tpf typedef in its namespace can be used in the "Types" Template?
20:55:01  <Tekky> otherwise the compiler would produce an error?
20:56:15  <Rubidium> guess so
20:56:51  <Tekky> Ok, thanks!
21:00:21  <Eddi|zuHause> <Bjarni> it was a question, not a statement ;) <- it was a suggestive question, which is pretty close to a statement :)
21:00:44  <Rubidium> Tpf seems to be the "container" with all pathfinder related functions (cost determination, node follower, cache and other stuff)
21:01:26  <Rubidium> but yes, YAPF is hard to read and understand
21:02:22  <Tekky> Container? Like an STL container which contains a variable? Or just a class with a list of functions?
21:02:23  <Rubidium> but that's because it uses some pretty nifty features of templates
21:02:32  <Tekky> yes, I noticed :)
21:02:35  <Rubidium> just a class with functions
21:02:44  <Tekky> ok, thanks.
21:02:47  <Rubidium> but it isn't really a class when the compiler is finished with it
21:03:26  <Tekky> I guess most of the work in implementing my new PBS signalling system will be to understand YAPF :)
21:03:30  <Rubidium> it just optimizes all "overhead" of calls and virtual calls out of it (when compiling without -noinline)
21:05:05  <Tekky> Virtual calls? I thought virtual functions can only be called at runtime and therefore the overhead cannot be optimized at compile time?
21:05:06  <Rubidium> I think that PBS only needs to touch yapf_costrail.hpp
21:05:32  <svip> cpp*
21:06:00  <Rubidium> svip: I wish you luck in finding yapf_costrail.cpp
21:06:10  <Tekky> yes, that is the file I am currently looking at :)
21:06:13  <svip> Oh right.
21:06:16  <svip> Header file.
21:06:18  <svip> :P
21:06:18  <Rubidium> Tekky: not really virtual as in normal classes
21:07:50  <Tekky> Rubidium: Ah, with "virtual calls" you didn't mean calls of virtual functions?
21:07:51  <Rubidium> but it "looks" virtual as the classes using Tpf assume that a given function exists
21:08:00  <Tekky> aha
21:08:24  <Tekky> yes, it is like being "compile-time virtual" :)
21:08:36  <Rubidium> exactly
21:08:36  <Tekky> instead of "run-time virtual"
21:09:17  <Tekky> cool, I didn't know that C++ templates had such a feature... and I guess for such reasons OpenTTD had to drop support for MS Visual C++ 6.0 because it didn't support all these template features.
21:12:37  <Eddi|zuHause> that is exactly the reason :)
21:12:40  <Rubidium> and the advantage of "compile-time virtual" is that the compiler can still optimize it ;)
21:15:59  <Tekky> yep... I must say I am impressed with templates..... I should have used them a long time ago instead of programming C-style....
21:16:31  <Rubidium> though they make compiling slow
21:17:06  <Tekky> really? I did not notice much difference in compiling yapf and the other parts of OpenTTD.
21:17:36  <Rubidium> what compiler?
21:17:50  <Rubidium> I guess MSVC
21:18:36  <Tekky> yes, MS VC++ .NET 2003
21:19:11  <Rubidium> that does basically everything after is "woeshish" through the files
21:19:34  <Bjarni> the faster the computer is, the less you pay attention to how long each file takes to compile
21:19:42  <glx> compiling is fast with VC but linking is dead slow for release builds
21:20:00  <Tekky> by the way, which compiler is best for compiling OpenTTD? Do all compilers produce a similarly fast executable file? Or does OpenTTD run faster when compiled on a particlular compiler?
21:20:20  <Rubidium> don't think anybody ever tested that
21:20:25  <Bjarni> did we ever test that?
21:20:28  <Rubidium> and it's hard to test anyway

21:23:08  <glx> that's why I make win9x release with gcc
21:23:20  <Tekky> does Visual C++ 2005 Express also have a good optimizer? Or do I have to get the Pro Version to get a good optimizer?
21:23:43  <Rubidium> and for win64 MSVC is still "certainly" better than GCC
21:24:04  <glx> I think the optimizer is the same for both
21:24:20  <glx> pro just supports more things like wince
21:25:38  <Tekky> does the Express Edition of MS VC++ 2005 also have a Profiler?
21:25:43  <glx> <Rubidium> and for win64 MSVC is still "certainly" better than GCC <-- of course mingw64 is far from finished
21:27:02  <glx> Tekky: I don't think so
21:28:43  <glx> VS express misses "integration" (ie you need VWD for asp and VC# for the managed code if you want a nice code "coloration")

21:54:42  <svip> Are you going to create like new "one-way" thingies?
21:54:56  <svip> Perhaps...
21:55:10  <svip> You should make a thing where you drag along a piece of track, and then it becomes in that direction.
21:55:16  <svip> Label with small arrows on the track.
21:55:20  <svip> Beneath the trains.
21:55:25  <Tekky> Yes, I am planning to make an option for a signal to be one-way or two-way....
21:55:30  <svip> And it uses the same method as auto-completion for the signals does.
21:55:44  <svip> So when it meets an intersection, station or a signal it stops.
21:56:22  <svip> For long routes, it would be wise to do the way signing first, and when you put a signal on a one-way track, it automatically selects the appriate signal.
21:56:55  <Eddi|zuHause> i am not sure if that is an intelligent suggestion...
21:57:01  <svip> How so?
21:57:09  <Eddi|zuHause> and it is certainly not related to pbs
21:57:15  <svip> True.
21:57:31  <svip> But some people claim to make PBS really work, the signalling system itself needs to be redefined.
21:57:37  <Tekky> Well, I was actually thinking more of having a one-way-sign on the other side of the signal if that track is one-way.... But I haven't made any decisions on that, yet.

22:05:34  <Tekky> svip: Of course, nobody should be forced to use bi-directional track if he preferse one-directional track.
22:05:44  <svip> Hehe. ;o
22:05:48  <Eddi|zuHause> bi-directional single-track and bi-directional stations are more important
22:05:48  <svip> s/he*
22:06:03  <svip> Indeed.
22:06:58  <Tekky> Here in Germany, all newly built double track is bi-directional on both sides. I would like OpenTTD to support that.
22:07:12  <Tekky> At least in the long run.
22:07:32  <Eddi|zuHause> especially "intelligent presignalling", as in, a signal turns red if all suitible exits are red, not if all exits are red (even unreachable and dead ends)
22:07:48  <Tekky> But it is very complicated and KUDr persuaded me to first release a simple PBS version which doesn't support bi-directional double track yet.
22:08:08  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, but it only matters if there are works on one track, so it is closed :)
22:08:41  <Eddi|zuHause> so you need a way to discourage using the "reverse" track, without completely forbidding it
22:10:34  <Eddi|zuHause> also it needs serious load balancing
22:10:40  <Tekky> Eddi: What you said about "suitable exits" does not apply to my signalling system because I don't use signals on the exit of intersections. In my signalling system, such exit signals are unnecessary. They don't exist in reality, either, because signals are only placed in places where trains are supposed to wait. And because trains are supposed to wait only in front of intersections, you only place signals in front of intersections,
22:10:45  <Tekky> Eddi: not behind them.

22:11:57  <Tekky> For example, a roro station would look like this in my signalling system: http://wiki.openttd.org/images/a/a3/Rpbs_img10.png
22:12:03  <Eddi|zuHause> Tekky: yes, but then you need to have a way to mark a dedicated exit without having a signal there
22:13:12  <svip> I am having a problem with the drop menus.
22:13:22  <svip> It gives me values 4 too high.
22:13:37  <Eddi|zuHause> svip: because you did "+3"?
22:13:42  <svip> No.
22:13:44  <svip> I removed that.
22:14:52  <Tekky> Eddi: well, you cannot mark dedicated exits in my system, but you could put one-way signs on entry tracks so that the pathfinder will not attempt to use them as exit tracks.
22:15:24  <svip> Doing that, Eddi|zuHause, doesn't change anything...
22:16:25  <svip> Wait...
22:16:27  <Eddi|zuHause> Tekky: so your system assumes that a train fits between the end of the junction and the next signal
22:16:27  <svip> Sorry.
22:16:33  <svip> Just me being foolish.
22:16:46  <Eddi|zuHause> i guess that might work, too
22:16:49  <Tekky> Eddi: For example, take this bi-directional roro station (which doesn't work with current OpenTTD signalling): http://wiki.openttd.org/images/8/8b/Rpbs_img14.png. On the two entry tracks, one could put one-way signals. Then the pathfinder will only consider the two exit tracks as possible exits.
22:17:00  <Eddi|zuHause> it is just incompatible with most existing networks
22:17:22  <Eddi|zuHause> which means you will again need a way to keep non-PBS
22:17:53  <Tekky> Eddi: Yes, in my first version, I am assuming that signals are only placed in safe waiting locations for trains.
22:18:31  <Tekky> Therefore, signals should only be placed in places where it is indeed safe for the train to wait.

22:20:48  <Bjarni> <Tekky> Here in Germany, all newly built double track is bi-directional on both sides. I would like OpenTTD to support that. <-- I want that too, but it would be really complicated to code
22:20:59  <Bjarni> also it's a fairly new way of building tracks
22:22:08  <Greyscale_> anything you can link me to about it?
22:22:16  <Tekky> Eddi: Well, trains also block intersections in the current OpenTTD signalling system, so I see no disadvantage of my system if it is applied to existing networks... except for cases in which pre- and exit-signals are used....
22:22:30  <Bjarni> it wouldn't help much with only two tracks as it would lock each track in one direction. It would help if you add a 3rd track, that can be used to take over broken trains and stuff
22:23:56  <Tekky> Bjanri: a third bi-directional track with two outer one-way tracks should be easy to implement, because I don't require unsafe signals and "weak" reservations as I do with bi-directional double track.
22:24:33  <Tekky> Bjarni: because there is never any danger of a lockup.
22:24:37  <Eddi|zuHause> Tekky: any sane network uses plenty of pre- and exit signals
22:26:58  <Tekky> Eddi: hmmmm, I am thinking whether my PBS method is compatible with pre- and exit signals.....
22:27:48  <Tekky> the problem is that pre- and exit signals use block signalling while my PBS signals use path signalling. I'm not sure whether they are compatible....

22:50:33  <Bjarni> no
