00:00:05  <goodger> hi WhiteRhino
00:00:05  <OwenS> My DVD player is apparently crackable - but the only way is to buy a remote from a bunch of shady fleabay sellers...
00:00:36  <TrueBrain> buy a new DVD player (from a good supplier) and put in the right region DVD as first DVD :)
00:00:46  <TrueBrain> (DVD players from the supplier don't have a region lock yet .. after the first DVD they do)
00:00:54  <OwenS> TrueBrain: I have multiple regions of DVDs
00:01:08  <OwenS> Mostly European, but I have some American imports
00:01:15  <TrueBrain> so buy 6 player s:)
00:01:16  <TrueBrain> haha :)
00:01:32  <glx> cheaper than a bluray player ;)
00:01:45  <goodger> you can of course buy regionless dvd players
00:01:47  *** mib_041m101y [4c7541c7@webchat.mibbit.com] has left #openttd []
00:01:48  <OwenS> glx: My PS3 is (probably) an adaquite bluray player
00:01:57  <TrueBrain> goodger: those are not legal in any country
00:02:05  <TrueBrain> (well, never say 'any', but okay ...)
00:02:10  <OwenS> TrueBrain, New Zealand has illegalized region coding :p
00:02:12  <goodger> TrueBrain: no, never do say "any"
00:02:15  <OwenS> goodger: Or you can just remove the region coding on your DVD drive :p
00:02:17  <goodger> I own one
00:02:35  <TrueBrain> doesn't make it any more legal
00:02:52  <OwenS> It's only illegal for the manufacturer (Their contract with DVD-LA over the CSS patents)
00:02:59  <glx> you can also 'play' with the firmware
00:03:00  <goodger> I've a feeling ebuyer wouldn't sell them if it were illegal
00:03:04  *** Vikthor [~Vikthor@161-18-80-78.strcechy.adsl-llu.static.bluetone.cz] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
00:03:32  <goodger> I'm not sure of the manufacturer of this drive
00:03:44  <TrueBrain> I like playing with firmwares :)
00:03:46  <glx> on ebay everything is legal until catched
00:04:24  <goodger> ebuyer != ebay
00:05:04  <Eddi|zuHause> <TrueBrain> so buy 6 player s:) <- and then pay absolute attention that you not insert the wrong disk in the wrong player
00:05:34  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: just the first time .. after that, you just won't be able to play them on that player :)
00:05:46  <OwenS> And run out of SCART and HDMI sockets :p
00:06:00  <Eddi|zuHause> afair the players can switch regions multiple times
00:06:06  <TrueBrain> enough SCART 3-1 thingies :)
00:06:07  <Eddi|zuHause> like 5 times or so
00:06:17  <goodger> *nod*
00:06:19  <OwenS> Eddi|zuHause, yes, but only if you ask them
00:06:21  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: when you hit reset, yes :p
00:06:27  <TrueBrain> rarely by just inserting the disk
00:06:38  <Eddi|zuHause> and then you end up with 3 players locked to the same region
00:07:05  <TrueBrain> damn, I just want to watch a good movie :(
00:07:17  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: only if you are really stupid ;)
00:07:27  <goodger> TrueBrain: may I suggest The Terminal?
00:07:34  <Rubidium> Starwreck ;)
00:07:37  <TrueBrain> goodger: no
00:07:45  <goodger> oh
00:07:51  <goodger> shame
00:08:07  <Eddi|zuHause> the most funny thing on star wreck is the language...
00:08:11  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: lol
00:08:19  <goodger> ooh, I got +4 on my slashdot comment! :D
00:08:33  <OwenS> People visit Slashdot?
00:08:53  <TrueBrain> oh goody! People thought you were joking with some math stuff you did?
00:09:00  <Eddi|zuHause> what makes you thing goodger is an instance of People?

00:09:21  <Tim> hi :)
00:09:28  <goodger> OwenS: apparently
00:09:36  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah... my local dialect coming through...
00:09:42  <Eddi|zuHause> i meant the hard "g" :p
00:09:45  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: I know thatone all too well :)

00:10:37  <goodger> hrrm
00:10:59  <Eddi|zuHause> i wondered how long it would take him to actually post the lin_k_ here :p
00:11:20  <Roujin_> out of boredom I set up a screenshot that looks like 9/11, because openttd just happened to generate a town with two big towers from TTRS next to each other...
00:11:25  <TrueBrain> Eddi|zuHause: same here, same here :)
00:11:38  <goodger> *eyeroll*
00:11:40  <TrueBrain> Roujin_: show us :)
00:11:43  <TrueBrain> (bad joke btw :p)
00:11:44  <Roujin_> now I wonder if people would be offended if I posted that in the random screenshot thread
00:11:54  <TrueBrain> most likely :)
00:11:54  <goodger> Roujin_: probably.
00:12:00  <TrueBrain> as it is kind of ... nasty
00:12:48  <Rubidium> what would be most interesting/offending is having the planes really explode when near/over the building
00:13:09  <Roujin_> sorry :/ I got tempted by the overly huge skyscrapers of TTRS.. higher than planes are appearently allowed to fly
00:13:17  <glx> doable with a custom build ;)
00:13:22  <goodger> and then have the building collapse in a suspiciously vertical pattern?
00:13:28  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: should be doable
00:13:29  <TrueBrain> lol :)
00:13:30  <Rubidium> glx: even without a custom build
00:13:45  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: how do you crash a plane midair?
00:13:57  <goodger> TrueBrain: crash it into another plane
00:14:01  <TrueBrain> not like you can drive a bus into it
00:14:01  <Rubidium> delete all airports
00:14:24  <Roujin_> but then it doesn't explode immediately, does it?
00:14:25  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: good point
00:14:31  <TrueBrain> requires a bit of timing
00:14:56  <TrueBrain> 4 GiB in 10 minutes
00:14:58  <TrueBrain> I love my connection :)
00:15:03  <goodger> hrrm
00:15:07  <TrueBrain> unrar takes longer than the download :)
00:15:13  <glx> I hate you :)
00:15:21  <goodger> I have six torrents downloading at a total of 40 KiB/s
00:15:21  <TrueBrain> I love you too glx :)
00:15:31  <Rubidium> assuming 99% of all stuff is spam...
00:15:41  <goodger> they're not even esoteric
00:15:55  <TrueBrain> Torrent Stats; Average Upload Speed (216 days): 242.3 kiB/s
00:15:57  <Roujin_> well, if one wanted to be really evil, he could also create a newgrf that would be .. lets say the predecessor of the DBset
00:16:21  * goodger raises eyebrow
00:16:23  <Eddi|zuHause> <goodger> and then have the building collapse in a suspiciously vertical pattern? <- it would have been a serious architectural flaw, if the buildings would _not_ have collapsed vertically, and instead take two blocks of buildings with them, falling sideways
00:16:57  <goodger> this is true
00:16:58  <Roujin_> and have it transport a certain sub cargo class of passengers... to special "industries" <-- that's WAY wrong
00:17:09  <TrueBrain> Bandwidth Average: 2 TiB a month upload, 1 TiB a mont download
00:17:11  <TrueBrain> hehe
00:17:36  <goodger> the towers were, however, the first skyscrapers ever to collapse after being crashed into by a plane, and the first to collapse from fire
00:17:38  <energetic> did 4:15 for 700megs lately
00:18:14  <Roujin_> goodger: were there other skyscrapers before that have been hit by planes?
00:18:23  <goodger> Roujin_: a few, yes
00:18:37  <goodger> but this is an ugly topic of conversation
00:18:38  <Roujin_> by planes of the same size, too?
00:18:42  <OwenS> IIRC, didn't the kerosene go down one/more of the elevator shafts?
00:18:56  <OwenS> (Sorry, just checking if my memory is correct)
00:19:01  <Eddi|zuHause> Roujin_: usually, accidental. not planned to create maximum damage
00:19:15  <TrueBrain> Roujin_: a few Cesnas :)
00:19:23  <TrueBrain> Cessnas
00:19:25  <TrueBrain> sigh ..
00:20:14  <Roujin_> well, a cessna doesn't really match those who hit the twin towers...
00:20:26  <TrueBrain> not by a long shot
00:20:41  <TrueBrain> like being hit by a match
00:20:51  <Nite_Owl> http://history1900s.about.com/od/1940s/a/empirecrash.htm
00:20:56  <TrueBrain> (in dutch that sounds much better)
00:21:18  <TrueBrain> bah, even 10 minutes is too long when you are waiting for it :)
00:21:26  * OwenS now wonders what aircraft a nuclear reactor's missile shield must withstand =S
00:21:39  <energetic> the best story about this discussion
00:22:05  <energetic> I think is the Delft University faculty of Building
00:22:14  <Roujin_> so I guess by not mentioning that, some conspiracy theory crash people created that sentence* to "prove" their claims (* "the towers were, however, the first skyscrapers ever to collapse after being crashed into by a plane")
00:22:21  <energetic> Saying: no big tower an collapse due to fire
00:22:49  <energetic> then 3 years later: that exactly that happened to their own buillding
00:23:02  <energetic> but the irony here is not _that_
00:23:21  <goodger> energetic: if you were a conspiracy theorist, one might say that this was not an accident. I am not
00:23:22  <Rubidium> energetic: that building fire is special too... it did burn without producing CO2
00:23:30  <energetic> the irony is that the Delft building partly collapsed, as they predicted would happen when a fire hit s a building
00:23:40  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: I was waiting on thatone ;)
00:23:45  <Rubidium> ;)
00:23:51  <energetic> and not a total freefall collapse like the twins.
00:24:05  <energetic> They proved their own theory :)
00:24:32  <goodger> I find it highly suspicious that the entire building was destroyed so neatly, nonetheless
00:25:01  <TrueBrain> how would you react whena plane hits you
00:25:03  <TrueBrain> I would go down too
00:25:03  <energetic> Thats why I think the delft story is _so unbelievably strong_.

00:26:20  <goodger> Sacro: has it occurred to you that the casual use of synonyms for "homosexual" as pejoratives is offensive?

00:27:22  <TrueBrain> oh, sorry, I meant to say:

00:27:44  <goodger> that also is a good tune

00:27:45  <Quaver> Sacro: she was shocked when i told her otherwise and her gaydar is pretty good ;)

00:28:22  <TrueBrain> Quaver: what a nasty thing to say in a public channel :)
00:28:36  <Quaver> TrueBrain: hey, she wanted me to tell him ;)
00:28:59  <Sacro> :\
00:29:03  <Sacro> i'm not gay ><
00:29:08  <TrueBrain> but so publicly?
00:29:18  <TrueBrain> Sacro: proof it!
00:29:21  <goodger> Sacro: that's not what you said last night!
00:29:24  <Quaver> TrueBrain: that wasn't specified
00:29:29  <goodger> zing
00:29:59  <TrueBrain> (one thing a person can never proof, is that he is not gay ... one of the annoying features of not being gay I guess :))
00:30:10  <energetic> lol
00:30:16  <goodger> *nod*
00:30:21  <energetic> i disagree though
00:30:37  <TrueBrain> lijbrandt users tend to do that here, but do tell :)
00:30:38  <goodger> well
00:30:42  <energetic> hehe
00:30:44  <Quaver> energetic: i dunno ... it's the same the other way, surely
00:30:49  <energetic> i mean
00:30:55  <Sacro> so TrueBrain, how's the boyfriend?
00:30:56  <goodger> actually there is a test involving forcemeters, elastic bands and pron
00:31:11  <TrueBrain> Sacro: I thought you were my boyfriend :'( :'(
00:31:14  <TrueBrain> what a sad day ...
00:31:14  <goodger> but the candidate has to be not concealing it
00:31:17  <energetic> if i would lie about me being not hetero, and someone would proof i am
00:31:19  <Sacro> errm... if you want
00:31:29  <energetic> simply put a naked hot women on top of me
00:31:36  <goodger> Sacro: you go very well together
00:31:40  <energetic> tproof aint hard to see
00:31:46  <goodger> indeed...
00:31:51  <energetic> i guess this works the other way around, too.
00:31:54  <TrueBrain> energetic: being gay doesn't mean perse that a girl doesn't make you ... well .. you know ;)
00:32:05  <Roujin_> maybe it's possible to put the person in hypnosis so he can't lie when he's asked about his preferences
00:32:22  <TrueBrain> Roujin_: I think that is a good possibility :)
00:32:24  <TrueBrain> lets try it ;)
00:32:27  <Sacro> TrueBrain: yes it does
00:32:27  <energetic> that would simply mean ur bi
00:32:33  <goodger> Roujin_: sodium thiopenthal!
00:32:40  <TrueBrain> energetic: well, I have to agree with you on the other way around .. put a naked man in front of me, and nothing would happen ....

00:33:54  <TrueBrain> truthserum
00:34:00  <energetic> TrueBrain: any news about Lijbrandt?
00:34:10  <goodger> sodium thiopenthal is a barbiturate anaesthetic drug commonly used to erode people's ability to lie under interrogation
00:34:16  <TrueBrain> energetic: they suck?
00:34:19  <TrueBrain> haha :)
00:34:23  <energetic> thats not new.
00:34:32  <TrueBrain> only it doesn't work
00:34:34  <TrueBrain> but the idea is nice
00:34:37  <TrueBrain> it sounds cool :)
00:34:50  <TrueBrain> put 'sodium' in front of any expensive word
00:34:54  <TrueBrain> and in any movie you have: TRUTH SERUM!
00:35:00  <energetic> hehe
00:35:03  <goodger> heh

00:35:29  <energetic> most computer interfaces are fake in movies, so prolly the checmical stuff is all fake too
00:35:32  <goodger> it makes the person less alert, hence less intelligent and less able to avoid giving things away under tricks
00:35:39  <TrueBrain> energetic: no shit ;)
00:36:00  <TrueBrain> anyway, when you believe enough in your own lie, it isn't even a lie for your own brain
00:36:00  <energetic> however trinity hacking into mainframe.... some stuff _is_ real.
00:36:08  <TrueBrain> so any 'serum' which makes you tell the truth is bullshit :)
00:36:10  <energetic> True, brain.
00:36:15  <goodger> TrueBrain: absolument
00:36:23  <TrueBrain> energetic: yeah, the word: 'ssh' ;)
00:36:27  <goodger> have you noticed how smashing a VDU in a movie will always render the system offline? and how, when computers break, the VDUs explode
00:36:28  <OwenS> Yeah, I like how The Matrix exploits a real OpenSSH vulnerability :p
00:36:57  <Roujin_> yeah, show me a computer that just shows a password screen all day and if you enter the right password you directly get all the secret information you want :D
00:37:00  <OwenS> goodger, And how, in Star Trek, they run multi megajoule pwoer conduits behind consoles, so the bridge operators get injured/killed every time someone shoots at them?
00:37:06  <goodger> yep!
00:37:06  <energetic> just must be a honk of an admin to use software with a flaw....
00:37:09  <TrueBrain> what amuzes me in movies, is how they reflect a computer which is not working 100% ... by putting static on parts of the screen ...
00:37:12  <energetic> >2 ages old!
00:37:20  <energetic> *hork*
00:37:47  <mrfrenzy> you guys should start producing  movies ;)
00:37:51  <goodger> OwenS: also, the warp engines are inexplicably located in the aft, the ship banks in order to make turns, the ship has to slow down to turn, and the bridge is inexplicably located at the front
00:37:52  <TrueBrain> finally my movie is extracted
00:37:59  <goodger> mrfrenzy: way ahead of you...
00:38:03  <energetic> Private bitches #4?
00:38:04  <TrueBrain> mrfrenzy: nah .. making it 'real' makes really boring movies :)
00:38:22  <goodger> s/front/stern/
00:38:25  <mrfrenzy> however having the science probable makes it a lot more fun
00:38:26  <OwenS> goodger, The in universe explaination for the shape of the ships is "warp dynamics". In other words, warp has it's own laws ;-)
00:38:31  <TrueBrain> lol @ energetic :)
00:38:33  <mrfrenzy> I think stargate is quite good at that
00:38:54  <TrueBrain> still there things happen ...
00:39:06  <goodger> OwenS: actually warp drives are not weird pseudoscience, the theory is sound under general relativity
00:39:23  <OwenS> goodger, In theory sound if we find a particle with NEGATIVE ENERGY, yes
00:39:29  <TrueBrain> goodger: sure ......
00:39:41  <OwenS> I'll leave it up to you to debate the possibility of a particle having a negative energy
00:39:46  <TrueBrain> OwenS: or bundle all the energy of our solar system into a single point ... :p
00:39:50  <goodger> OwenS: the use of antimatter is an implementation detail. besides, antimatter does exist
00:40:00  <OwenS> Antimatter has positive energy
00:40:07  <TrueBrain> what OwenS says
00:40:14  *** OtherRhino [White@modem172.tmlp.net] has joined #openttd
00:40:20  <energetic> did they find the higgs particle yet in france?
00:40:26  <TrueBrain> antimatter is just as normal as matter
00:40:31  <TrueBrain> energetic: not by a long shot
00:40:33  <OwenS> But to implement a Abercubie Drive (Scientific name for Warp drive), you need negative energy particles
00:40:39  <goodger> energetic: no, a lot of helium spilled on it and now it's offline. it's also in switzerland
00:40:47  <TrueBrain> OwenS: one of the theories :)
00:40:54  <energetic> oh, they evaporated into a black hole, i see.
00:41:13  <OwenS> The problem is that FTL and time travel are mutually inclusive
00:41:19  <OwenS> You can't have one without the other
00:41:25  <energetic> there is this cool movie about the tenth dimension
00:41:46  <Roujin_> <goodger>	energetic: no, a lot of helium spilled on it and now it's offline. it's also in switzerland <-- lol, that sounds like "it's also in switzerland" is also a mistake that happened during some experiment :D
00:41:47  <goodger> OwenS: again, an implementation detail. the idea of achieving faster-than-light travel by bending spacetime around a stationary object is sound
00:41:48  <TrueBrain> OwenS: FTL?
00:41:57  <energetic> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-97057222894136590
00:42:01  <goodger> TrueBrain: faster-than-light
00:42:01  <energetic> great stuff
00:42:02  <OwenS> TrueBrain, FTL = Faster Than Light
00:42:17  <OwenS> goodger: Yes. It's sound if negative energy particles are sound
00:42:19  <TrueBrain> OwenS: ah :) Then I agree with you :)
00:42:42  <OwenS> As of yet, we have yet to develop negative energy particles, and it is debatable whether it's possible to have a particle with an energy debt
00:42:45  <valhallasw> somewhat sound, yes :P
00:42:56  <valhallasw> of course, faster-than-light particles exist
00:42:59  <valhallasw> just not in vacuum
00:43:04  <TrueBrain> OwenS: I like the theory which suggest if we create one negative particle, it would consume all positive particles :)
00:43:22  <TrueBrain> valhallasw: bad joke :p
00:43:35  <OwenS> Mmmh, Cherenkov Radiation
00:44:00  <goodger> ...anyway
00:44:11  <Roujin_> anyway...
00:44:14  <OwenS> So, funnily enough, given the right conditions, nuclear reactors do glow. But cyan, not green :p

00:44:25  <goodger> I think we've gone too far into pointing out petty flaws in a fictional television programme
00:44:40  <OwenS> Were having a Physics debate :p
00:45:00  <energetic> well thats the only cool thing about the program
00:45:09  <TrueBrain> goodger: you started saying it is possible
00:45:24  <energetic> you can neglect the acting stuff, McGyver is better at that.
00:45:38  <TrueBrain> true :)
00:45:40  <Roujin_> and now for something completely different. what this guy did http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=756187#p756187 gave me the idea that the add newgrf window should work like the save/load window...
00:45:46  <OwenS> Though if were gonna have a physics debate, I'd prefer it be on something I'm gonna be examined on on Tuesday :p
00:45:57  <goodger> TrueBrain: I started by saying that the idea of moving an object by enclosing it in a packet of spacetime is sound, not that it is possible to implement IRL with current tech
00:46:00  <energetic> *ducks*
00:46:04  <TrueBrain> OwenS: which is?
00:46:25  <OwenS> Electricity and The Standard Model of Quantum Physics
00:46:35  <Roujin_> okay, keep discussing physics then :P
00:46:37  <goodger> OwenS: if it's classical mechanics, just remember to stick inverse-square relationships under everything
00:46:44  <TrueBrain> OwenS: good luck my friend :)
00:46:57  <goodger> yes, good luck
00:48:14  <energetic> A small thing crossed my mind: when removing a station, shouldnt the railway be kept?
00:48:26  <energetic> just like a bus stop
00:48:35  <Roujin_> nope
00:48:40  <energetic> of an inline busstop

00:48:54  <OwenSX> OK what happened there? =S
00:49:09  <energetic> seems logical to me
00:49:22  <energetic> (that the railway should be removed seperately)
00:49:23  <Roujin_> OwenSX: depends on what "there" is...
00:49:30  <energetic> except if you use the demo tool

00:49:43  *** owens is now known as OwenS
00:49:59  <energetic> thats actually possible, TB.
00:50:11  <TrueBrain> thingwath: depends on how many people you see in this channel
00:50:14  <energetic> bitflips caused by cosmic rays
00:50:18  <TrueBrain> energetic: not only possible, even probable
00:50:22  <TrueBrain> but I doubt the problem was because of that ;)
00:50:36  <thingwath> Umm, not many.
00:50:46  <energetic> we should never remove all possibilities :D
00:50:50  <TrueBrain> what was the thumbrule ... 1 cosmic ray hits the top of your dumb every minute
00:50:58  <TrueBrain> dumb = thumb
00:50:59  <TrueBrain> lol
00:51:20  <energetic> _thats_ why i am slowly dying....
00:51:32  <OwenS> And something like 10,000 Carbon-14 atoms decay in your DNA every hour or something

00:52:31  <energetic> anyone some tinfoil left?
00:52:45  <OwenS> And what is it? 10 billion solar Neutrinos pass through your body every second
00:52:48  <TrueBrain> tinfoil won't do it :)
00:52:54  <TrueBrain> you need something .... more equiped :)

00:55:13  <OwenS> Against?
00:55:20  <TrueBrain> cosmic rays
00:55:27  <OwenS> 100km of air works better
00:55:37  <energetic> OwenS: not well enough.
00:55:44  <goodger> tinfoil actually amplifies some EM radiation
00:55:48  <TrueBrain> OwenS: true, but that is rarely available in a room :)
00:56:14  <energetic> thats why they use it! now they can say: see: radiation kills!
00:56:15  <OwenS> TrueBrain: You always have 100km of air above you unless your outside the atmosphere :)
00:56:30  <OwenS> energetic: Oh great, more opposition to nuclear power =(
00:56:49  <TrueBrain> OwenS: but we just established that even that does allow some CR to enter your body
00:56:54  <TrueBrain> to avoid that .. we need an other 100 km :p
00:57:08  <TrueBrain> energetic: anyway, a Faraday works pretty well
00:57:14  <TrueBrain> Faraday cage
00:57:22  <energetic> against electrons in the air
00:57:28  <energetic> not cosmic stuff
00:57:34  <OwenS> Anything with enough mass to stop the rest of the cosmic rays has enough mas to crush your body
00:57:34  <energetic> they aint electrons
00:57:46  <TrueBrain> OwenS: not ALL of them ;)
00:57:50  <TrueBrain> just a bunch more :)
00:57:52  <OwenS> Remember: Your body is already holding up a 100km air column ;-)
00:58:09  <TrueBrain> and it is heavy as hell

01:02:07  <Roujin_> hmm
01:02:08  <energetic> as u can all se i can trype very fatds

01:03:18  <energetic> but i thought they would mod the irc channel like tweakers, too.
01:03:44  <Roujin_> it's in all places where I need to mention the vehicle ID (action 0, action 3, action 4)
01:03:50  <TrueBrain> then everyone just goes to #tweakers.hideout
01:03:50  <TrueBrain> :p

01:05:23  <Tim> do i need the adress to the normal libpng 1.2.34 download?
01:06:35  <Roujin_> is it that action 6 does not allow setting something to 255 with a parameter? :/

01:07:53  <TrueBrain> OwenS: it will make the backup take much longer ;)
01:08:06  <OwenS> TrueBrain, But it wouldn't shut down the forum ;)

01:13:52  <energetic> i guess thats easy to explain
01:14:01  <Roujin_> glx: indeed, vehicle id is listed as B*, but does that mean i cannot use 255?
01:14:03  <Tim> hey.... :(
01:14:10  <Tim> No, i did not (yet) modify the source :D
01:14:13  <energetic> chriss sawyer came from UK, so prolly not sold a lot of copies in US
01:14:36  <energetic> mainly EU. But then I still dont know where the NL part cpomes from
01:14:43  <OwenS> OpenTTD is mainly a train sim, and America has very few railroads
01:14:45  <Tim> But i definitely will... And my first "patch" will be to make realistic acceleration activated as standard
01:14:58  <glx> Roujin_: IIRC 255 for a B* means there's something else behind
01:15:00  <TrueBrain> and NL has a sucky railroad system .. that explains :)
01:15:02  <energetic> OwenS: also true
01:15:03  <OwenS> Coincidence or not I do not know
01:15:23  <energetic> well, NL has to biggest railroad system of the world, relatively
01:15:48  <glx> ,...val = grf_load_byte(buf);
01:15:48  <glx> ,...if (val == 0xFF) val = grf_load_word(buf);
01:15:51  <OwenS> The UK's railroad system needs a higher speed
01:16:04  <energetic> NL is mostly 130KPH
01:16:09  <glx> so FF FF 00 should be 255
01:16:19  <energetic> some parts 140, some 160, some 240
01:16:19  <Roujin_> I see
01:16:44  <OwenS> UK's fastest is 125mph/200kmh^-1
01:17:53  <OwenS> Exception being High Speed 1 (Track between the 'chunnel and London St Pancras)
01:18:08  <OwenS> Which is 300kmh^-1
01:18:13  <energetic> i totally like how they made the line between lodon and manchester
01:18:21  <Tim> hrhrhr, compiling worked :)
01:18:21  <energetic> they terraformed the complete route
01:18:30  <TrueBrain> energetic: 240? In NL? Where?
01:18:34  <TrueBrain> The HSL is still not active ..

01:19:14  <OwenS> Heh cool, the UK is getting Shinkansen to run on HS1 :p
01:19:22  <energetic> I read that AMT can make chaper maglev lines as they built Hispeed links
01:19:30  <energetic> *cheaper*
01:19:38  <glx> TrueBrain: give me the money ;)

01:21:38  <energetic> they want to built it here in NL
01:21:43  <OwenS> glx: High Speed 1 is real high speed (It's basically an LGV :P )
01:22:03  <energetic> in the port of rotterdam and Schiphol (aitrport) and a new airport in the lake
01:22:24  <energetic> great stuff.
01:23:06  <OwenS> The problem with passive maglev is that a train can't stand still on them
01:23:21  *** Brianetta [~brian@client-82-14-72-109.glfd.adsl.virgin.net] has quit [Quit: TschÌß]
01:23:32  <energetic> yes, i wonder how they solve that
01:23:39  <glx> using an anchor?
01:23:44  <energetic> prolly good old fashioned wheels flippoing down
01:23:56  <Roujin_> glx: does TTDPatch also accept 255 0 0 to 255 255 0 as vehicle IDs?
01:24:14  <Eddi|zuHause> i thought the japanese did in passive maglev
01:24:16  <OwenS> But anyway, EMS Maglevs (Transrapid) are about as cheap as traditional rail - if not cheaper - when other considerations are included
01:24:28  <Eddi|zuHause> and they have to accelerate to 100km/h with normal wheels
01:24:36  <energetic> then AMT is _much_ cheaper
01:24:44  <glx> Roujin_: the wiki is not clear enough :/
01:24:48  <energetic> since TR still use active rails
01:25:04  <glx> and don't want to dig in ttdp source right now
01:25:20  <OwenS> And how do your AMT trains get power?
01:25:20  <Eddi|zuHause> the most expensive part of railway building is the area
01:25:21  <energetic> battery
01:25:28  <energetic> they aint mine btw
01:25:33  <energetic> but check out
01:25:33  <Roujin_> glx: I'm making a single-vehicle grf that lets the user choose the vehicle ID to his liking with a parameter
01:25:35  <energetic> http://www.eumaglev.eu/html/schiphol.html
01:25:37  <Roujin_> using action6
01:25:39  <OwenS> It's an expression
01:25:51  <energetic> it sounds very... uhm...
01:26:20  <energetic> kinda huniliating
01:26:25  <energetic> *humiliating*
01:26:59  <glx> Roujin_: but you can try it with hardcoded > 254 value
01:27:49  <Roujin_> you mean hardcode it with 255 123 0 value and see if it loads in ttdpatch?
01:28:01  <Roujin_> to see if ttdpatch accepts that?
01:28:08  <glx> The <Id> is an extended byte since 2.0.1 alpha 61, to support the definition of >255 sound effects. In OpenTTD since r13482, extended IDs can be used for vehicles as well. However there is currently a caveat that articulated parts must be below 128.
01:28:20  <OwenS> The main problem with powering trains of batteries is, well, that batteries have terrible energy to weight ratios
01:28:30  <glx> so it looks like ttdp doesn't support it for vehicles
01:28:54  <Roujin_> aww.. sad
01:29:05  <Eddi|zuHause> <Roujin_> glx: indeed, vehicle id is listed as B*, but does that mean i cannot use 255? <- means you can make FF ?? 00, and then alter the ?? using the action 6
01:29:34  <glx> Eddi|zuHause: that part was known :)
01:29:39  <energetic> OwenS: the main thing about AMT apparently not breaking through in our political system -
01:29:42  * Roujin_ is considering ttdpatch compatibility against the user being able to freely choose any of 65536 IDs...
01:29:43  <Eddi|zuHause> ok ;)
01:30:00  <Roujin_> Eddi: thanks, but a bit late ;)
01:30:03  <energetic> - is that AMT apparently solved the economic problem, which is much more important then the technical stuf.
01:30:06  <glx> Roujin_: you can allow it for openttd
01:30:22  <Roujin_> I can even make FF ?? ?? and change the ?? ?? with the action 6
01:30:34  <energetic> by AMT claiming it being cheaper then HS
01:30:55  <energetic> which sounds, if you think about it, quite logically.
01:31:09  <OwenS> So is Transrapid. A study done in the UK found Transrapid much cheaper than conventional rail for a variety of reasons
01:31:33  <OwenS> Much better gradient handling ability, tighter curves, ability to raise track effectively, etc
01:31:38  <energetic> that one sounds irrational, care to elaborate?
01:31:40  <glx> not when it's stopped between 2 stations
01:31:55  <energetic> off course
01:32:03  <Roujin_> glx: by checking if we're running TTDPatch or OpenTTD with some action, and depending on the outcome, skipping this or that pseudosprite, right? ugh, I was hoping on avoiding such :P
01:32:05  <energetic> it has all the advantages of maglev
01:32:31  <energetic> you don't wanna know how much a train wears after one ride

01:33:29  <energetic> not to mention railways, safety systems
01:34:18  <Roujin_> I would certainly find it more convenient if TTDPatch understood 255 x y but rejected it if y>0 :P
01:34:25  <glx> Roujin_: FF ?? ?? should work in ttdp, you just need to discard user chosen value and use a fixed one
01:35:02  <OwenS> One thing that strikes me about AMT is that there seems to be a lot of infrastructure under the vehicle
01:35:14  <OwenS> Anotehr thing that strikes me is it looses TransRapids' inherent safety
01:35:15  <energetic> "infrastructure under the vehicle"
01:35:17  <energetic> ?
01:35:35  <energetic> what inherent safety?
01:35:37  <OwenS> You see a bunch of equipment, presumably motors, underneath the passenger area
01:35:58  <energetic> AMT doesnt have a production unit yet, TR does
01:36:06  <Roujin_> point is that the ttdpatch guys need the choosing of vehicle ID via parameter more badly than the openTTD guys... those can just set "allow multiple newgrf sets" and be happy :P
01:36:07  <energetic> all stuff of AMT you see is beta
01:36:31  <energetic> (probably one of the reasons they are not taken seriously yet)
01:36:35  <OwenS> And, since a TransRapid's locomotion is powered by the track, then theres no need for any signalling to the cab for safety
01:37:13  <energetic> what 'inherent safety' of TR u talking about?
01:37:21  <OwenS> In TR, the track has the motors
01:37:29  <energetic> yes, active system
01:37:31  <OwenS> The vehicle is just being driven arround by the track
01:37:47  <Eddi|zuHause> Roujin_: what about simply: "if TTDPatch: y=0; x%=128"?
01:37:51  <OwenS> Therefore, the vehicle can't decide to crash into something else - the track has to drive it into the obstruction
01:38:17  <energetic> nothing inherent safe about.
01:38:35  <Roujin_> uhm.. I think TTDPatch doesn't accept the long format at all
01:38:35  <energetic> the system of AMT can make drones of the vehicles, too
01:38:50  <Roujin_> even if y=0
01:38:50  <energetic> or: the TR system can make 'smart wagons' too.
01:38:53  <OwenS> Yes - but this relies on cab to vehicle communication working
01:39:03  <energetic> TR doesnt?
01:39:07  <OwenS> No.
01:39:11  <OwenS> The track is running the show
01:39:15  <energetic> i doubt that?
01:39:20  <Roujin_> or does it?
01:39:35  <energetic> the main controller needs to know the state of the wagon?
01:39:42  <energetic> hence - it communicates?
01:39:57  <OwenS> Yes. It knows where the wagon is because, if it doesn't, then it can't move it ;-)
01:40:47  <energetic> then both systems are in this aspect simply influenced by the architectural decisions of the main controller.
01:41:20  <energetic> namely: do we make them drones, or smart thinking wagons.
01:41:21  <OwenS> And I still don't know how AMT intends to power the trains. Cause batteries won't work, for reasons of needing to recharge
01:41:43  <energetic> I think they replace the battery at a depot at start/end of line
01:41:53  <energetic> but other then that, its a mystery to me, too.
01:42:17  <energetic> and i doubt they use supercapacitors
01:42:31  <OwenS> They'd be better off inductively transfering the energy to the train
01:42:46  <OwenS> Though, when doing that, your getting perilously close to reinventing Transrapid
01:42:59  <energetic> they are proposing short (~25KM-75KM) routes - wonder if this has to do with  technical reasons - ie the battery.
01:43:25  <energetic> i suspect they do - but it may very well have other reasons, too.
01:44:02  <OwenS> Cool thing with Transrapid is, seal the train perfectly, then put it in a vacuum, and it can go ~8000km/h
01:44:10  <energetic> yeah baby
01:44:24  <energetic> transatlantic tunnel
01:44:41  <goodger> OwenS: slight safety issue there
01:45:00  <OwenS> goodger: Yeah, I know. No worse than aircraft though, really
01:45:34  <energetic> xctly.
01:46:07  <OwenS> If a train hits an issue, decelerate them all then flood the tube with air
01:46:52  <energetic> i think a curve in the railway system doing mach 8 will be as big as NL though
01:46:55  <goodger> OwenS: explosive decompression is not so much an issue when there is air (though low-pressure) as when there is only vacuum
01:47:16  <energetic> a curve of say, 45 deg
01:47:32  <OwenS> goodger: Thats why you have a high pressure air tunnel nearby to flood with
01:47:49  <OwenS> OK, low pressure air, ~6000km/h
01:47:50  <goodger> oh, so now you need five tunnels instead of three
01:48:17  <OwenS> If you have one tunnel per direction, then you only need one more - and it'll likely be useful for maintainance purposes any way
01:48:24  <OwenS> The air pressure doesn't have to be much above atmospheric
01:48:26  <goodger> and some sort of seal mechanism to segment the tunnel
01:48:53  <energetic> i think those systems will be used on other planets only, where resources are available
01:49:23  <OwenS> We'll be living on other planets? We haven't found one hospitable to human life yet
01:49:27  <energetic> it would drain too much on earthly resources to get a decent system upnrunning
01:49:44  <energetic> i didnt say it would be used for humans :o
01:49:48  <OwenS> I find it likely we'll build space colonies - space colonies which will mine asteroids
01:50:08  <OwenS> The average near earth asteroid has something like 100 times our yearly extraction of many metals
01:50:14  <goodger> why mining asteroids?
01:50:18  <goodger> they move about!
01:50:20  <energetic> why not?
01:50:25  <goodger> and they're tiny
01:50:32  <energetic> once we have that spacelift
01:50:35  <goodger> mine planets and jovian moons instead
01:50:36  <OwenS> Exactly - asteroids don't have gravity!
01:50:43  <OwenS> Gravitys a blooming pain
01:50:45  <goodger> even worse
01:50:47  <energetic> mining asteroids will be cheaper then mining on earth
01:51:04  <goodger> how do you mine something without gravity? you'd have to bolt the mining equipment to the asteroid
01:51:14  <OwenS> And if you mine the moon, you have to be careful to avoid creating an atmosphere of dust on it

02:06:06  <glx> I only written test grfs so far
02:06:09  <goodger> the system could just move along at a small multiple of walking pace so that people can catch it easily
02:06:14  <Eddi|zuHause2> they made experiments once with "moving platforms"
02:06:32  <Eddi|zuHause2> i.e. increasingly faster "escalators" towards the rim
02:06:33  <goodger> or, close the doors, move very quickly a distance equal to the length of the platform, and then stop, and open the doors

13:28:56  <George> frosch123: > active vehicle and for the front (i.e. related) vehicle you can calculate a height difference to the front vehicle. -> when I have only 2 units - yes, but dolphin bus would have 6 units. I can't compare 5-th and 1-th units.
13:29:10  <George> I mean parts
13:29:40  <frosch123> with "related" you can always access the first one

13:47:00  <Eddi|zuHause> Called to implement truth value testing, and the built-in operation bool(); should return False or True, or their integer equivalents 0 or 1. When this method is not defined, __len__() is called, if it is defined (see below). If a class defines neither __len__() nor __nonzero__(), all its instances are considered true.

14:32:09  <TrueBrain> bah ... and still OpenTTD has this annoying features that at signal blocks the vehicle with the lowest vehicle ID or something goes first ..
14:32:13  <TrueBrain> instead of the one waiting the longest ..
14:36:30  <OwenS> More annoying is that we still have reversing at red signals
14:36:39  <Progman> OwenS: lmgtfy.com
14:36:55  <TrueBrain> can't you give a very high number to avoid that, OwenS?
14:36:59  <TrueBrain> but I agree with you, yes
14:37:02  <OwenS> Thats an excellent way to jam a network with both PBS and block signals
14:37:16  <TrueBrain> Rubidium: how hard would it be to change the problem with signals nowedays?
14:37:31  <TrueBrain> I guess the way signals work should be changed .. and something should track how long a train is waiting ..
14:38:12  <TrueBrain> OwenS: more annoying I find with PBS, they turn once in front of a red signal, can't find a free path reversed (as signals in my networks don't allow that), and they seem to wait for ever ....

14:44:52  <snappy> Im running openttd on mac osx, i created a dir ~/ttd and put the OpenTTD.app in there. I have a data/ dir with the GRF files and a gm dir with the GM files (they're actually symlinks to the corresponding directories after unzipping transport tycoon).

17:26:04  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: svn checkout svn:// && hg init && hg add * && hg commit && patch -p0 < yourpatch && hg diff > newpatch
17:26:05  *** Digitalfox [~Digitalof@bl7-187-74.dsl.telepac.pt] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
17:26:07  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: easy as pie ;)
17:26:19  <Zuu> for the step from widget focus to filter sign list
17:27:00  <planetmaker> Zuu: yes. I found that. But it's not the latest one? Or did I overlook something?
17:27:01  <Aali> TrueBrain: that makes no sense
17:27:05  <Aali> however
17:27:25  <Aali> hg qnew && patch -p0 < oldpatch && hg qrefresh will do nicely
17:27:32  *** HerzogDeXtEr1 [~Flex@89.246.180.230] has joined #openttd
17:27:50  <TrueBrain> Aali: might make no sense to you, works like a charm
17:27:54  *** Vikthor [~Vikthor@161-18-80-78.strcechy.adsl-llu.static.bluetone.cz] has joined #openttd
17:28:03  <planetmaker> TrueBrain: not with hg queues.
17:28:27  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: mind that you create a temporary new hg :) So all it does, is convert a -p0 patch to a -p1 patch ;)
17:28:30  <Zuu> planetmaker: Filter Sign List has not changed since that version. After that version only changes have been done to the widget focus part.
17:28:45  <planetmaker> there Aali certainly has the better line. But just overwriting the old diff in .hg/patches is way easier even ;)
17:28:55  <planetmaker> Zuu: thx, ok
17:29:12  <Zuu> Filter sign list is mostly only in misc_gui.cpp, so it is not that much affected by changes in trunk.
17:30:20  <Zuu> planetmaker: Are you going to test it without focus or does it conflict with some other patches you use?
17:31:53  <planetmaker> Zuu: I'm just updating my client_patches repo. The widget focus doesn't hurt there, so I would want it in along with it. The versions I have / had are old enough so that they need an update.
17:32:17  <planetmaker> And I am somewhat confused what requirement the new releases have since january 3rd.
17:32:24  *** tom0004 [~Tom@92.4.96.177] has joined #openttd
17:32:42  <energetic> What is the chance a patch gets included in the main trunk
17:32:48  <planetmaker> where I just took the widget_focus+filter_signs from your hg queues which you posted
17:32:54  <TrueBrain> 12%
17:32:59  <planetmaker> energetic: 0%...100%
17:33:05  <energetic> the patch being clearly coded, and the functionality desirable?
17:33:14  *** HerzogDeXtEr [~Flex@89.246.223.232] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
17:33:15  <planetmaker> define "desirable"
17:33:20  <energetic> lotsa ppl want it
17:33:26  <TrueBrain> in that case: 13%!
17:33:29  <Aali> define "clearly coded"
17:33:33  <planetmaker> :P
17:33:34  *** tom0004 [~Tom@92.4.96.177] has quit []
17:33:43  <energetic> clearly coded -> coded follwing the coding guidelines
17:33:48  <Rubidium> "lotsa ppl want it" reduces the chance considerably
17:33:49  <Aali> define "functionality"
17:33:52  <Zuu> amount of changed lines are important also
17:33:59  <Zuu> is*
17:34:18  <Rubidium> and the sanity of the patch
17:34:25  <Rubidium> and the reviewability
17:34:28  <TrueBrain> energetic: I think it is more a question: does any developer think it is a desirable patch ;)
17:35:15  <frosch123> chances are higher if it is a "yet another..." patch
17:35:27  <planetmaker> hehe...
17:35:27  <energetic> http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=41083 --> Kurt wants to spend a lot of time implementing a new/improved division algo. But before, he wants to know what the chances are - he doesnt want to spend all time spending effort to in the end - have nothing.
17:35:38  <Prof_Frink> TrueBrain: Or a developer can be "persuaded" that it's desirable.
17:35:45  <planetmaker> is actually the newgrf selection gui patch desirable? http://bugs.openttd.org/task/2195
17:35:58  <TrueBrain> Prof_Frink: my banking account agree'd with you last time indeed
17:37:28  <Zuu> planetmaker: So if I understand you, you was mostly after the two steps that I have in my patch as separate steps to just put in your hg queues easier.
17:37:50  <planetmaker> Zuu: not really.
17:38:35  <planetmaker> Re-reading the whole long posts, I think, I got it: it's two completely seperate things. Could be done sperately. I think I'll add them then seperately, too. Easier :)
17:39:09  <planetmaker> The existance of the combined patch was the source of my confusion :) Now I only want the patch files as they're in your hg repo ;)
17:39:13  <energetic> "lotsa ppl want it" reduces the chance considerably -->?
17:39:20  <planetmaker> or rather in your .hg/patches
17:39:41  <TrueBrain> energetic: this is not a game for the public!
17:40:07  <planetmaker> energetic: devs do what they like. It's their fun. It's their free time. Why should they do something which they don't like?
17:40:12  <planetmaker> They're not paid after all.
17:40:14  <Zuu> planetmaker: I can PM you them if you like, but the widget focus one on FS should be quite similar (made with svn diff > file.patch though)
17:40:18  <planetmaker> at least for this :)
17:41:01  <planetmaker> Zuu: don't worry. I just do the usual thing. Just wondered whether you keep posting patches which require -p1 instead of -p0 :)
17:41:20  <planetmaker> no biggy, though.
17:41:44  <glx> not a problem if you use a proper patch tool (ie not tortoise)
17:42:00  <energetic> So if people do lots of effort creating cool or neat patches they might not end up in main trunk simply... because some devver doesnt like it?
17:42:18  *** eQualizer [~lauri@dyn12-192.dsl.spy.dnainternet.fi] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
17:42:20  <Zuu> hmm, I made them using svn diff > file from the base director (not src). Isn't that the favorable way to make them?
17:42:25  <glx> yes we have the POWER
17:42:35  <TrueBrain> energetic: how would you like to see it?
17:42:39  <planetmaker> glx: it's no problem :) patch -p1 or -p0 isn't difficult.
17:42:57  *** Mortal [~mortal@0x573a3da2.odnqu1.static.dsl.tele.dk] has joined #openttd
17:43:58  <energetic> well first of all u guys need to understand that I really _do_ like your (all contributing ppl) efforts of openttd. This may sound a bit sharp, but I do mean that. I have already have quite some fun ewith ottd!
17:44:26  <Rubidium> energetic: almost *all* patches that "lotsa of ppl like" are badly coded, badly tested (if tested at all) even when they say they have tested it for months
17:45:13  <energetic> second I think i know how oss projects work - ppl see coding as a fun thing to do. therefore they just do not want to guarantee anthing, since it creates responsiblility, and that in turn reduces the fun
17:45:16  <Rubidium> energetic: take a look at e.g. distant join; the amount of issues that patch had when I started to look at (when it was tested already for 9! months) was high
17:45:45  <Rubidium> energetic: and some of the bugs were so trivial in nature that almost everybody should've noticed it
17:46:22  *** tokai [~tokai@p54B8070A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Quit: icebears... take care of them!]
17:46:30  <energetic> So please, let me ask this otherwise: what do I have to do to get something in main trunk? Give u guys all a blowjob?
17:46:35  <energetic> no, i am kidding
17:46:50  <TrueBrain> energetic: make a patch any of the devs like and feels like finalizing :)
17:46:58  <planetmaker> :)
17:47:02  <Zuu> energetic: You need to make good work your self, and don't demand things from the devs.
17:47:15  <energetic> did I ever demand things from the devs already?
17:47:16  <planetmaker> otherwise: make patches YOU like and play with them. Make them available to the public
17:47:21  <Zuu> Then you one day will have a email saying your FS has been closed because it was commited.
17:47:23  <planetmaker> and don't demand that others like it.
17:47:33  <planetmaker> it's a good feeling actually :)
17:47:45  <planetmaker> ^^what zuu said :)
17:48:08  *** |Jeroen| [~jeroen@94-224-31-113.access.telenet.be] has quit [Quit: oO]
17:48:21  <energetic> did I ever demand things from the devs already? --> I might have did this without realizing! So please, if this is the case, I want to know wabout it and remove that impression - which surely I can tell is false -
17:48:52  <TrueBrain> poor energetic :)
17:49:01  <TrueBrain> anyway, nobody can garantee you anything before there is a patch :)
17:49:29  <Rubidium> we don't even guarantee something committed to trunk wil stay there
17:49:52  <Zuu> I would say nobody can guarantee it will be committed before it is committed. And even committed stuff can get removed. (like Rubidium wrote)
17:49:54  <TrueBrain> :)
17:50:09  <energetic> I understand. We have a patch, we have tested it. It's not ready to go in trunk. But someday it will be, i am sure.
17:50:31  <TrueBrain> so no guarantees what so ever at any level :) haha :)
17:50:44  <Zuu> energetic: What patch are you thinking about?
17:50:52  <energetic> I dont want any guarantees. Just want to know what I have to do to have a patch that has the highest available chances to get into trunk.
17:51:03  <TrueBrain> make sure to give it up for review :) You will be suprised what is wrong with it ;) haha :)
17:51:10  <TrueBrain> and energetic, one big tip: make VERY small patches
17:51:22  <TrueBrain> energetic: one thing per patch ... not like some people introduce N things at once ...
17:51:38  <energetic> right
17:51:49  <planetmaker> and have patience.
17:51:56  <planetmaker> Patches need time to mature.
17:51:57  <Zuu> energetic: A tips I got was to write a patch document that explains the purpose of the patch plus most important things to know of implementation.
17:52:00  <TrueBrain> use a hg queue if needed, if one patch depends on an other
17:52:03  <TrueBrain> but never ever combine them :)
17:52:13  <planetmaker> Like 10-line patches may take 6 month before they are :)
17:52:36  <frosch123> energetic: the best strategy is always to provide patches that simplify/cleanup/generalise something, which are advancious to everyone but do not change any behaviour, and which makes keeping your local version in sync easier
17:52:52  <Rubidium> and don't demand that something happens, because that'll send it straight to the bottom of the todo list (below all insane feature requests)
17:52:56  <planetmaker> :)
17:53:09  <planetmaker> small is beautiful. But then: size matters :P
17:53:14  *** Progman [~progman@p57A1FEE4.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #openttd
17:53:24  <energetic> so, to conclude..: a patch - tested in production with a lot of ppl, only focused on _one_ subject/bug/whatever, as small as possible, have good documentation, follows coding guidelines, have backward compatibility,
17:53:41  <planetmaker> best chances, yes.
17:54:00  <TrueBrain> and make sure to give it up for review from time to time :)
17:54:04  <frosch123> and no conflicst with more general future plans of someone else :p
17:54:11  <energetic> preferably coming with a free blowjob and a bank account positive thing.
17:54:11  <planetmaker> :P
17:54:23  <TrueBrain> I rather have a girl giving me a blowjob
17:54:25  <TrueBrain> but that is just me
17:54:27  <TrueBrain> frosch123: lol :)
17:54:29  <energetic> lol
17:54:38  <planetmaker> sure. But blowjobs are desirable by women only
17:54:52  <Zuu> frosch123: Esp plans of any of the devs.
17:55:59  <energetic> I fail horribly at c++, but i *think* i know software devving. so all other prereqs shouldnt be too hard
17:56:27  <energetic> thanks for the tips all! Appreciated.
17:56:46  <TrueBrain> good luck :)
17:57:36  <energetic> oh, what is a hg queue
17:57:50  <TrueBrain> hg (mercurial) is an other VCS
17:57:55  <TrueBrain> which allows 'queuing' patches
17:57:59  <TrueBrain> so make one depending on an other
17:58:15  <energetic> right
17:58:18  <planetmaker> very useful indeed.
17:58:32  <TrueBrain> svn for example doesn't allow this :)
17:58:44  <TrueBrain> and else you get N working copies :)
17:58:45  <TrueBrain> haha
17:58:55  <energetic> Zuu: i am talking about this one: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=41083
17:59:02  <energetic> blugh
17:59:04  <planetmaker> also very useful for patch packs :)
17:59:36  *** planetmaker_ [~chatzilla@Fcc39.f.ppp-pool.de] has joined #openttd
17:59:42  <TrueBrain> energetic: be very careful with such patches; you are touching game rebalancing, which is a very tricky road to walk :)
18:00:06  *** planetmaker_ [~chatzilla@Fcc39.f.ppp-pool.de] has quit []
18:00:29  <energetic> That's one reason why I think there should be a backwoards compatibility option.
18:00:42  <Zuu> Easiest patches to get commited are those who clean up code or generalize, but isn't visible for players at all.
18:00:44  <TrueBrain> that always goes a long way :)
18:01:22  <Rubidium> but they are the most important of all as they keep OpenTTD maintainable
18:01:26  <energetic> Though i wonder how many players/ppl will be affected of it - only like, the top ten ppl of kurts competition server know all the tricks to compete - in other words, they know the current mechanics of competition.
18:02:28  <energetic> And I really doubt much other players/servers know these rules -  for instance, the rondje om the kerk or the yearly AI competition will be affected
18:02:32  <Zuu> I think the longest patch I got committed that actually change the external behavior was a one-liner if I have not forgotten any.
18:03:22  *** Lakie [~Lakie@91.84.251.149] has joined #openttd
18:03:39  <planetmaker> he... I think I only got interface patches..
18:03:54  <energetic> So what other caveats/ tips do you have in relation to game  rebalacing? any more do's and/or don'ts?
18:04:21  <TrueBrain> make it fair
18:04:41  <planetmaker> and simple / easy to understand
18:04:44  <energetic> :) that's the whole point of the patch I am trying to get into trunk :)
18:10:32  *** worldemar [~world@213.178.42.199] has joined #openttd

18:12:50  <TrueBrain> frosch123: no
18:12:56  <frosch123> yeah, works again

18:30:46  <TrueBrain> don't want that :)
18:30:49  <Rubidium> got no idea what to do about/with FS#2411
18:31:10  <Rubidium> I've got no way to reproduce it and it's the only "sighting"
18:31:21  <TrueBrain> so close it :) Haha :)
18:31:25  <TrueBrain> my reason for asking was that :)
18:33:17  <TrueBrain> whoho, 26.6 kiB/s from openttdcoop.org ...
18:33:26  <TrueBrain> 6.7 kiB/s ...
18:33:37  <planetmaker> :P
18:33:50  <TrueBrain> someone should keep their hands of the ratelimiter ..
18:33:56  <TrueBrain> it is not only annoying, only costs much more in the end
18:33:57  <planetmaker> which one, TrueBrain ?
18:34:21  <TrueBrain> which one what planetmaker?
18:34:29  <energetic> OwenS: are they building the transrapid already, or is it still in planning phase?
18:34:50  <planetmaker> the server which is so slow.
18:35:03  <planetmaker> there's more than one openttdcoop server :)
18:35:07  <TrueBrain> openttdcoop.org
18:35:09  <TrueBrain> www
18:35:13  <TrueBrain> grf pack
18:35:19  <planetmaker> ah. hm...
18:35:32  <TrueBrain> bursts for a few seconds
18:35:35  <TrueBrain> then rate limiter kicks in
18:35:36  <TrueBrain> very stupid
18:35:49  <TrueBrain> even more as I just make it a bundles requests, and I get it at full speed
18:35:50  <TrueBrain> go figure ..
18:35:54  <planetmaker> found that last week, too.
18:36:02  <TrueBrain> piss off, stupid 'traffic' shapers .. useless in all possible ways
18:36:29  <TrueBrain> don't put a 100 mbit/sec server on the web if you are limiting it anyway ...
18:36:37  <planetmaker> back then I thought it was on my end. But if that's general, it's stupid, indeed.
18:36:47  <TrueBrain> you could as well attach it to a ADSL connection
18:36:55  <TrueBrain> as stable and useful as this
18:37:13  <TrueBrain> (sorry, I REALLY hate traffic shapers of this kind ... useless useless and useless ... ibm.com uses it too ... blegh!)
18:37:33  <planetmaker> I figured, you really hate them :P
18:37:39  <Aali> frosch123: hate to say this, but r14994 has another problem :P
18:38:46  <TrueBrain> bleh, I thought openttdcoop was open for spectate, without password? :(
18:39:20  <planetmaker> difficult. But anyone can obtain the password for free.
18:39:52  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: it requires me to join a channel ....
18:39:57  <planetmaker> a server pw applies to spectators, too...
18:40:01  <TrueBrain> and it just differs between password on server or on company :p
18:40:10  <frosch123> haha, what's this time?
18:40:23  <planetmaker> grisly
18:40:26  <TrueBrain> planetmaker: and my point exactly was, that I assumed it was on the company, but it is on the server :)
18:41:16  <planetmaker> right. There's not a good patch to make joining with automatically setting company pw afaik.
18:41:41  <planetmaker> like command line arguments for that
18:41:59  <TrueBrain> I see :)
18:42:01  <TrueBrain> fair enough
18:42:06  <Aali> frosch123: trains get lost when exiting a depot
18:42:08  <TrueBrain> we always have webchats :p
18:42:18  <Aali> sometimes
18:42:30  <planetmaker> I posted you the PW anyway :) But now it will be invalid, I guess...
18:42:51  <TrueBrain> it already was a few seconds after you posted it :)
18:42:53  <TrueBrain> but tnx anyway ;)
18:43:06  <planetmaker> np :)
18:43:44  <Aali> some trains do it the first time they exit a depot, but they all seem to get lost if i send them to depot while they're loading
18:43:46  <frosch123> Aali: provide a savegame

19:15:43  <frosch123> yes, but how do you get a train without orders "lost"
19:16:02  <Aali> yeah, that one is a bit odd :P
19:16:12  <frosch123> well, I did not reproduce that part yet
19:16:52  <Aali> and you only have to start it (green flag in the depot) it doesn't even have to leave the depot at all
19:17:38  <frosch123> I only get a profit warning
19:18:43  <Aali> hmm, ya, I can't reproduce it either :/

19:19:20  <frosch123> ah yes :)
19:25:54  <frosch123> but isn't that a feature?
19:28:08  <Aali> may be, lets see if it was like that before 14994
19:28:22  <frosch123> it is like that in 14952 :)
19:29:01  <Aali> yep
19:29:10  <frosch123> and the train throws that error reguarly, not only on start
19:31:42  <Aali> alright, you're off the hook then, FS#2516 has been resolved without any bad side-effects :P
