03:30:42  <Hyppy> on a few sites, I see reference to "ICE-#" trains.  Which NewGRF are these in?

03:56:07  <Hyppy> ugh I feel like such an idiot.  Built up a full SBahn map, worked out all the kinks in the mainlines, sidelines, and loops, and had a full set of trains running.  Little did I realize that the default trainset was far too limited for a full SBahn game :-(  Oh, well.  Time to start anew, I guess
04:06:03  <roboboy> are the OpenGFX grf's newgrfs?
04:07:04  <roboboy> or are they plain grfs that mimic the originals?
04:12:40  *** Pikka [~user@softbank220019198071.bbtec.net] has joined #openttd
04:25:08  <sparrL> i think they are the latter, but I am uninformed
04:25:22  <sparrL> Hyppy: SBahn?
04:26:09  * roboboy ponders tring to trick TTDPatch into using OpenGFX
04:26:20  <roboboy> ill have to rename the files and whatnot
04:28:23  <sparrL> I am going to have to install TTD and TTDPatch just so I can check out the differences
04:28:30  <sparrL> it's been the better part of a decade since I've touched TTD

04:31:15  <roboboy> you may want to look at installing TTDPC but then TTDPatch's config is commented unlike OpenTTD's which is ment to be edited in the game

10:09:59  <peter1138> it's logic. the crash.sav happens *after* the crash has occured.
10:10:22  <Luukland> I had my hopes that I could continue to build :)

10:49:16  <Eddi|zuHause> cargodest forces cargo down one single route, while cargodist can balance over multiple parallel routes
10:49:32  * roboboy goes to report a bug in TTDPatch
10:49:52  <roboboy> so they do the same thing differently?
10:50:02  <Forked> It's been several years since I paid any attention to the patch :)
10:50:56  <Eddi|zuHause> roboboy: that's the "design": cargodest does point-to-point connection while cargodist solves a network flow problem

12:03:00  <Roelmb> guys is their a way to run your solution in Visual c++ 2008 express edition because it asks for the TT files (that aren't in the project)
12:05:33  <Eddi|zuHause> if you don't have the TT files, google for opengfx and opensfx
12:06:01  <Roelmb> i have them but they are not in my project so I can't debug it inside Visual c++
12:06:43  <asilv> put ttd files to "my documents/openttd/data"
12:06:47  <Eddi|zuHause> they need to be in "my documents\openttd\data"

12:07:53  <asilv> hmm \ not / of course
12:08:03  <Roelmb> thats not what i mean I mean that i didn't build it yet and i want to debug it without building it first. I don't made the exe yet because I want to debug it first
12:08:31  <peter1138> ...
12:10:33  <Roelmb> When i build it with my compiler it starts runing it so you can debug it and look for errors without compiling it so it can give you warnings when needed. I don't have an exe in a folder i just have a project. With only the main code.
12:11:04  <Eddi|zuHause> you're talking nonsense
12:11:35  <Roelmb> no i'm not you guys just don't get it XD
12:12:07  <Xaroth> I think yer being outnumbered here, Roelmb
12:12:13  <Xaroth> You make absolutely no sense to me :P
12:12:31  <Roelmb> I see that nobody uses Visual c++ 2008 express edition over here
12:12:35  <Xaroth> yes I do
12:13:01  <Roelmb> so why don't you understand it then or am i explaining it wrong
12:13:08  <Xaroth> you are understanding it wrong
12:13:20  <Roelmb> euhm why should i
12:13:33  <Xaroth> you can't debug anything without building it first (with debug flags on, obviously)
12:13:40  <Xaroth> unless you want to look through the code line by line
12:13:55  <Xaroth> which I really doubt is what you want, seeing you want to run it (else it wouldn't ask for the TT files)
12:14:09  <Roelmb> i am going to describe what i am doing ok
12:15:51  <Terkhen> I use it too, to debug you need opengfx and opensfx (or the TT files) at the folders already mentioned
12:16:11  <Roelmb> I load in my project then I press ctrl F5 and then i get that langs and version is outdated. I press yes. And then it starts running the game.
12:16:33  <Xaroth> doesn't ctrl+F5 actually 'compile' the game?
12:16:44  <Roelmb> yes it does
12:16:59  <Xaroth> [Roelmb]: thats not what i mean I mean that i didn't build it yet and i want to debug it without building it first.
12:17:03  <Xaroth> so that last bit of that sentence, fails
12:17:19  <Xaroth> you -do- build it, else you -cannot- debug it that way.
12:17:23  <Roelmb> but it doesn't save it somewhere
12:17:59  <asilv> it saves exe to objs directory
12:18:01  <Xaroth> if it doesn't save it somewhere how the hell is it supposed to run?
12:18:08  <Xaroth> you can't run something that's not there
12:18:08  <Terkhen> it is probably at objs\Win32\Release\
12:18:14  <Roelmb> ok i'll look in the objs directory
12:18:16  <Xaroth> or objs\Win32\Debug\
12:18:39  <roboboy> its in the second one most likely
12:18:47  <Roelmb> I only have objs\win32\debug
12:19:02  <roboboy> then its there
12:19:18  *** Zuu [~Zuu@c-f5f9e253.025-58-6e6b702.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] has joined #openttd
12:19:33  <Roelmb> alright then I need to put the TT files intheir then
12:19:55  <Xaroth> no, you don't
12:19:59  <Xaroth> [Eddi|zuHause]: they need to be in "my documents\openttd\data"
12:20:28  <Terkhen> Roelmb: If you put them at the already mentioned folder, all versions of openttd will find them there
12:20:31  <roboboy> you on xp or vistaor 7?
12:20:32  <Roelmb> their is no map like that inside debug there is only an exe and object files
12:20:38  <Roelmb> I use 7
12:21:03  <Roelmb> so just in documents
12:21:12  <peter1138> directory/path/folder. not map.
12:21:17  <Roelmb> I allways putted them inside the game directory
12:21:28  <roboboy> then put it in C:\Users\Roelmb\Documents\Openttd\Data
12:22:09  <Roelmb> and does that work for the gm-files too
12:22:30  <Eddi|zuHause> yes
12:22:49  <roboboy> except they dont go in data
12:23:11  <Roelmb> oh now i get it so thats how you need to do it without copying them like for every version
12:23:45  <peter1138> it's been that way for quite a long time...
12:23:59  <Roelmb> but i used it allways the other way and it worked fine
12:24:21  <SpComb> Eddi|zuHause: what browser were you using earlier, when my giant-screenshot viewer didn't work for you?
12:24:28  <peter1138> yes, it's fine, as long as you want to waste a load of disk space
12:24:31  <Terkhen> it works, but now you don't have to copy the files every time you start using a new binary
12:24:34  <Eddi|zuHause> SpComb: konqueror 4
12:24:56  <Roelmb> ok thnx guys great help for me
12:25:04  <Eddi|zuHause> SpComb: google maps also has problems with konqueror...
12:25:16  <SpComb> hehe
12:25:53  <Roelmb> euhm now hes telling that he can't find the driver for direct music
12:25:54  <SpComb> if it has a script debugger, it can be fixed...
12:26:24  <Eddi|zuHause> Roelmb: maybe you should just follow the wiki on compiling _correctly_
12:27:30  <Roelmb> I did it like it was standing their
12:28:32  <Rubidium> so you did the alternative that removed directmusic support
12:29:06  <peter1138> ahh, mangled english :D
12:29:29  <Roelmb> not really i added these pathes and it gives that error
12:30:05  <Rubidium> Roelmb: when starting OpenTTD, right? So you did both the correct way and the alternative
12:31:22  <roboboy> hm my Win7 Pro machine with MSVC 2008 express doesnt seem to have a make executable like someone in here said it should
12:31:41  <roboboy> brb
12:32:26  <roboboy> back
12:32:30  <Rubidium> Roelmb: open openttd.cfg and remove the line with music_driver; that should do the trick
12:32:55  <Eddi|zuHause> hm... sometimes i hate not being a native english speaker...
12:33:04  <Eddi|zuHause> i have a hard time getting "phonetic" jokes
12:33:13  <Eddi|zuHause> like "ghost in zshell"
12:33:39  <Roelmb> @rubidium:and where is that file in my solution
12:33:57  <Eddi|zuHause> (where apparently "z" should be pronounced as the american "zee")
12:34:22  <roboboy> it shou;d be in C:\Users\Roelmb\OpenTTD
12:34:24  <Rubidium> Roelmb: openttd.cfg is not part of the solution, it's part of the OpenTTD configuration; readme.txt tells where it can be
12:34:24  <SpComb> Eddi|zuHause: hmm, it starts working as soon as I open up the JavaScript debugger and reload :)
12:34:37  <Eddi|zuHause> SpComb: so it's a heisenbug ;)
12:34:44  <Roelmb> ok i'll look for it
12:34:45  <SpComb> of some sort
12:34:58  <SpComb> the mousewheel doesn't seem to work there, and the zoom ui buttons are still hidden
12:35:43  <Roelmb> rubidium: what will that do for my other versions of openttd
12:36:09  <Rubidium> possibly disable music
12:36:23  <Roelmb> damn thats the thing I don't want too
12:36:47  <roboboy> can we update the readme to include the path for Vista/7 to the users OpenTTD dir?
12:36:54  <Roelmb> but the weird thing is I have music when i compile it
12:37:30  <Rubidium> then you're on one of the lucky systems where it works with the 'other' driver
12:38:05  <peter1138> Eddi|zuHause, native-american-english speakers... zed-shell doesn't work either
12:38:06  <Roelmb> or not now the jukebox is runing throug every number at lightning speed
12:38:33  <Roelmb> without willing to play it
12:38:46  <Rubidium> then it's using the 'null' driver which simply doesn't play songs
12:39:25  <Roelmb> ok nevermind the music isn't that important
12:40:11  <Roelmb> and rubidium it seams like you know the code by head :p
12:41:12  <Xaroth> well seeing the amount of code he commits on a day-to-day basis.. yes, he does :p
12:41:37  <Zuu> If someone should know the code by heart, then it is Rubibium judged by his astonishing activity.
12:42:18  <SpComb> Eddi|zuHause: does http://projects.qmsk.net/pngtile/screenshots/20091218/1998.png (i.e. without the # bit) load for you?
12:42:21  <Roelmb> is their any way to learn the code by heart without runing true every file
12:42:50  <roboboy> What should I do if I want the readme updated?
12:43:10  <Roelmb> post it at the developers forum maybe?
12:45:33  <Roelmb> euhm little question if I try to apply a diff file to my directory it opens tortoisemerge but i doesn't do anything else
12:46:04  <Roelmb> not even applying the patch because after i compiled it it seems to have changed nothing
12:46:15  <roboboy> right click one of the listed files
12:46:49  <Roelmb> how do you mean
12:47:14  <SpComb> Eddi|zuHause: the zoom buttons still show up for me as long as I don't scroll around..
12:47:15  <roboboy> it shows you a list of files to be patched right?
12:47:25  <Roelmb> nope thats my problem it doesn't
12:49:06  <roboboy> what happens if you right click on the folder containing the source and select tortoise merge then apply patch?
12:49:28  <Roelmb> then it opens the tortoisemerge window and then nothing
12:49:30  <Terkhen> I'd like to request that http://bugs.openttd.org/task/3318 type is changed to 'Core', operating system to 'all' and version to 'trunk'... as it stands is not correct... If there is something missing at the last diff file, I'd like to know it too
12:50:54  <Eddi|zuHause> SpComb: it says "Loading...", how long is that supposed to last?

12:53:43  <roboboy> I dont think CargoDist is a SVN patch but rather a Git patch
12:53:54  <SpComb> there's some link of link-button
12:53:55  <roboboy> can someone confirm?

13:01:05  <SpComb> Eddi|zuHause: so scrolling works, but no zoom?
13:01:28  <Roelmb> roboboy: it says mysis git install path error
13:01:34  <Eddi|zuHause> scrolling works... zoom i'm testing now
13:01:51  <SpComb> zoom works fine if you do it from the js console, but there's no UI for it
13:02:17  <Eddi|zuHause> the zoom buttons are visible, when the images aren't loaded yet
13:02:40  <SpComb> they stay visible for me as long as I don't drag the view
13:02:44  <Eddi|zuHause> so zooming works, if you scroll to an area that has not been loaded
13:02:59  <SpComb> but there's something positioning-related there, because the buttons also dissapear temporarily while dragging with FF
13:03:26  <SpComb> i.e. dragging the substrate changes its position properties, and that causes the buttons to go under
13:03:40  <SpComb> so it isn't purely a konq bug
13:04:35  <Eddi|zuHause> well, but that doesn't help fixing the konqueror 4 error
13:04:48  <Eddi|zuHause> where it doesn't show anything at all
13:07:52  <SpComb> well... I'm liable to blame khtml
13:08:04  <SpComb> this works in FF1.5, FF3, IE6, IE8, Chrome, Safari
13:08:50  <Eddi|zuHause> that might be true, but it doesn't solve the problem either ;)

13:17:06  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, it did that when i "open in konqueror/KDE3"'d it in konqueror 4
13:17:09  <SpComb> i.e. using the reload button fails
13:17:20  <SpComb> but copy-pasting the url into a new tab works
13:17:23  <Eddi|zuHause> when i remove that, it comes up with proper numbers

13:51:07  <SpComb> they're just kind of annoying to handle
13:51:22  <SpComb> Eddi|zuHause: anyways, if it seems slow, then try re-opening it a couple times
13:51:30  <SpComb> it'll probably go away
13:52:27  *** gergorycu [3cf0a259@webchat.mibbit.com] has joined #openttd
13:52:31  <Eddi|zuHause> it's funny when i scroll around, some images pop up almost instantly, and the rest doesn't seem to appear at all
13:52:37  <gergorycu> Hi there guys
13:52:41  <SpComb> that's partially a backend issue
13:52:42  <Eddi|zuHause> it looks like a swiss chese
13:52:43  <Ammler> it should be somehow possible to make that giant screen on a dedicated server
13:52:46  <gergorycu> I'm having a bit of a problem running the game on a friends computer
13:52:57  <gergorycu> I'm running 1.0.0-beta2
13:52:58  <SpComb> Ammler: I think it's possible if you run it with a blitter, haven't tried, though
13:53:20  <gergorycu> The rail construction icon is greyed out
13:53:40  <Eddi|zuHause> gergorycu: means you started too early for rail vehicles to be available
13:53:43  <gergorycu> In fact, anything specific to building transport is greyed out
13:53:58  <Eddi|zuHause> gergorycu: start in 1950 or load some NewGRFs
13:54:32  <gergorycu> Ahh
13:54:34  <gergorycu> Thank you
13:54:36  <gergorycu> That fixed it
13:54:50  <gergorycu> But, all road depots were also greyed out
13:54:54  <gergorycu> But roads were not
13:55:11  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, roads can be built without road vehicles available, since towns need them
13:55:12  <gergorycu> I suppose road stuff becomes vailable after a certain time too?
13:55:30  <gergorycu> So, you can play the game without being able to build any transport stuff?
13:55:33  <gergorycu> If you get my meaning
13:55:50  <Eddi|zuHause> yes, you can "play", but you cannot actually do anything
13:56:03  <gergorycu> Yeah, that's what I mean
13:56:08  <gergorycu> Ok, thank you so much for your help
13:56:17  <gergorycu> I was wondering if it were some strange glitch or something
13:56:31  <gergorycu> And I misread the starting date as "1950" when it was "1850"
13:56:32  <gergorycu> Silly me
13:56:35  <gergorycu> Thank you again

14:05:25  <Xaroth> yeh :(
14:06:13  <Eddi|zuHause> you shouldn't need much more than changing the blitter to enable screenshots
14:06:30  <SpComb> the JS frontend's starting to be in pretty good shape now, apart from some bugs with the coordinates getting corrupted if zooming too fast
14:07:21  <Ammler> sometimes, my half screen is grey
14:07:43  <SpComb> Ammler: slow update or it stays stuck like that until you move it again?
14:08:04  <Eddi|zuHause> i think for me it was the latter
14:08:28  <SpComb> it's probably some kind of race-condition with the event handling :(
14:08:33  <Ammler> SpComb, yes, the latter
14:08:47  <SpComb> unless it has the window size wrong, a refresh should fix that
14:08:50  <Ammler> the faster I move the more gets grey
14:09:50  <SpComb> hmm.. grey as in the background color?
14:09:58  <Ammler> yes, I guess
14:10:00  <SpComb> sometimes I manage to select/higlight the <img> elements, which is annoying
14:10:20  <Ammler> yep, the get blueish...
14:10:25  <SpComb> ah yes
14:10:45  <SpComb> it's just the mouse cursor doing funny tricks, presumably in the area where the images aren't yet fully loaded
14:11:05  <SpComb> but as long as the #foo stuff is working, refreshing the page should get you back to where you were
14:11:06  <Ammler> or in that part, which get grey
14:12:14  <SpComb> would need some CSS trick to make the bits un-selectable
14:12:25  <SpComb> but, I must go, just realized I'm already late

17:02:04  <Muxy> yeap Eddi, good advise.
17:03:20  <Rubidium> Muxy: the problem is that with TOO old platform SDKs that isn't defined
17:03:20  * Muxy will load 0.7.5 release and check
17:03:44  <Rubidium> the existing define is for mingw/cygwin
17:04:17  <Rubidium> and it's quite simple... it's happened just before IPv6 support got into trunk
17:04:28  <Rubidium> so, a month of 8-ish ago
17:04:35  <Muxy> it means that AI_ADDRCONFIG is not used in Win32 MSVC
17:05:02  <Muxy> and should be defined in more recent SKD then
17:05:04  <Rubidium> as 0.7 was branched before IPv6 support, that doesn't have that code
17:05:35  <glx> Muxy: it is defined in platform SDK
17:05:50  <glx> and it is used :)
17:05:55  <Muxy> okay, then i will update my SDK as Rubidium said
17:07:25  <glx> I have 6.0A and it's ok there (SDK installed by 2008 express)
17:07:45  <Rubidium> "The AI_ADDRCONFIG flag is defined on the Windows SDK for Windows Vista and later"

17:26:36  <Alberth> Cathal: wouldn't #cossacks not be a better place to ask?
17:27:12  <Alberth> andythenorth_: yes the diagonal airport looks great :)    I need to try it some time soon
17:28:27  <andythenorth_> If the state machine could handle loading while hovering....helicopter logging awaits :)
17:28:32  <andythenorth_> And heli-skiing :)
17:28:36  <Cathal> Just went there, but its empty, i'm sorry for the self promotion, just seeking some help, and everyone here does have some interest in game modification as a hobby, so it seems like a good place to start

17:40:15  <Ammler> doesn't look opensource or cross platform.
17:43:26  <Cathal> Really no-one is modifying Cossacks on a large scale, i think it has quite a lot of potential. Its not opensource but the developers are open to players modifying the game themselves, they released a modification utility pack, which is easy to use, it basically involves modifying .txt files, allowing almost any aspect of the game to be altered
17:44:24  <frosch123> .txt? why not .xml?
17:44:39  <frosch123> (sorry, insider joke)
17:45:59  <Eddi|zuHause> the modding ability of Civ4 is insane, they released basically the entire source code, except the graphics engine and the copy protection

18:24:46  <PeterT> that's true

18:26:03  * andythenorth_ lost the game
18:29:55  <andythenorth_> Terkhen: for FIRS, is it the number of industries on the map, or the number of industry types that is disturbing? :o
18:32:39  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth_: my experience with ECS is that the increase in industry types also increases the raw number of industries on the map
18:32:55  <andythenorth_> Eddi|zuHause: true, but that's quite easily dealt with
18:33:08  <PeterT> Has anybody had success building a 64-bit build on a 32-bit system with MSVC?
18:33:18  <PeterT> (or any compiler, for that fact)
18:33:23  <andythenorth_> the probability is easy to control, and someone has written a nice method for scaling probablity with map size
18:34:02  <Eddi|zuHause> imho the method to scale with mapsize is one of the problems
18:34:32  <Eddi|zuHause> some people want bigger maps to have more stuff on it, and other people want bigger maps to have more space inbetween
18:34:34  <glx> PeterT: yes any user with full MSVC
18:34:54  <PeterT> Ah, not just Express Editions
18:35:09  <glx> express version don't have 64bit compilers
18:35:43  <andythenorth_> Eddi|zuHause: but there's an option :)  "No. of industries"
18:37:29  <Eddi|zuHause> imho, the industry density options should include different scaling (e.g. "very low" doesn't scale at all above 256, "low" scales linearly, "high" scales quadratically)
18:38:11  <Terkhen> andythenorth_: both, but the number of industries on the map is easily solved
18:38:53  <andythenorth_> Terkhen: have you ever played with PBI?

19:44:12  <andythenorth_> fjb: something like that.  I have a plan.
19:44:21  <andythenorth_> I couldn't care less about basic FIRS, it's boring
19:44:36  <andythenorth_> but it might be necessary
19:45:25  <Terkhen> for newbies like me :P
19:45:43  <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, two levels of complexity sound ok
19:45:52  <sparr> which GRFs do I need to load with ECS to get vehicles that can carry the new resources (particularly sand)?
19:46:03  <Eddi|zuHause> in george's ECS you can reduce complexity by leaving out vectors
19:46:22  <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: depends
19:46:40  <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: easiest is probably "old wagons, new cargos"
19:46:42  <sparr> I played my first game with ECS recently, and couldn't transport sand
19:46:53  <andythenorth_> NARS 2 is pretty comprehensive
19:47:07  <andythenorth_> should support ECS fine
19:47:12  <Eddi|zuHause> the DBSetXL needs an ECS extension
19:47:33  <Eddi|zuHause> otherwise pretty much all major train sets should support ECS
19:48:34  <andythenorth_> hmmm....the thing that really sucks about my FIRS basic proposal is that it's just mostly the default industries
19:48:34  <fjb> And the popular road vehicle sets do.
19:49:10  <sparr> fjb: "the popular road vehicle sets" is unhelpful.  pretend you're talking to someone who isn't already familiar with every GRF available

19:51:18  <sparr> fjb: and pick one at random?
19:51:27  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth_: i like PBI because it does not add too much clutter, like ECS does.
19:51:39  <sparr> andythenorth_: thanks, I'll use NARS
19:51:41  <andythenorth_> sparr: try eGRVTS and HEQS.  Or LV4
19:51:54  <Eddi|zuHause> it does fine with adding complexity without adding a lot more industries
19:52:02  <sparr> it seems like there should be some sort of dependency system, so that the game would warn a player before starting a game with ECS without vehicles that can transport ECS cargos
19:52:12  <fjb> FIRS has nicer graphics and industries changing over time were announced as a feature.
19:52:23  <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: that is impossible to decide...

19:57:41  <JigabuMemin> I am not
19:58:32  <fjb> sparr: The game is not unplayable only because not every cargo can be transported. And why should somebody who wants to only transport some of the cargoes be forced to load other vehicle sets?
20:00:08  <sparr> fjb: "some" is random, and possibly inaccurate.  are there GRFs that replace all of the cargos?  or that replace all of the base trains with non-standard cargo trains?
20:01:10  <sparr> or, more generally, can there be?
20:01:10  <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: the problem is not "are there GRFs" but rather "could there possibly be GRFs"
20:01:14  <andythenorth_> fjb: for FIRS basic around 3 industries would change between 1900 and 1930, that's about it for changing
20:01:18  <sparr> Eddi|zuHause: yes
20:01:26  <Eddi|zuHause> as in "does the GRF spec allow implementing this"
20:01:46  <sparr> if it does, then such an unplayable game is possible, and the argument in favor of the check I am advocating is stronger
20:02:13  <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: there is no warning if you start too early either.
20:02:34  <sparr> yes, that is also quite annoying, I've done that a couple of times (once with different GRFs)

20:28:11  <Rubidium> so for the profit calculations the travel time is at that, so if a vehicle at speed N makes 400 tiles in 2 years, making 4000 tiles would take 20, but the vehicle would be paid as if it was going at speed N*10
20:29:24  <sparr> Rubidium: yes, for very slow vehicles.  for some definition of very slow.
20:30:20  <PeterT> Hirundo: Thanks for fixing the wiki
20:30:24  <PeterT> Didin't think of that ;-)

20:32:28  <sparr> but there is a large gap where it pays less
20:32:43  <SpComb> how much does it matter?
20:33:05  <sparr> SpComb: considering ONLY income, factors of 2-3.
20:33:17  <sparr> SpComb: considering also all the extra infrastructure being wasted on the longer deliveries...  more.

20:34:33  <Rhamphoryncus> If you have an existing long track, but can only afford one train.. that'd push even more towards a shorter route, wouldn't it?
20:34:44  <sparr> yes
20:35:07  <sparr> if you aren't delivering the full capacity of the industry, that also makes the shorter route a stronger candidate
20:35:19  <sparr> if your track is at its train carrying capacity, then too
20:36:14  <Terkhen> andythenorth: because of the simplified FIRS?
20:36:23  *** Rhamphoryncus [~rhamph@d199-126-251-5.abhsia.telus.net] has quit [Quit: Rhamphoryncus]
20:36:57  <sparr> fjb: the math is complex enough, and the variables poorly documented enough, that I am not even sure that I am doing it right.
20:37:17  <sparr> I am relatively certain that the SHAPE of the data I am getting is right (that is, the peak and valley do exist), but their locations could be incorrect
20:37:24  <andythenorth> Terkhen: yes.  I think there's a way to do it right, but I'm not sure what yet.  You're by no means the only one who would like a simpler version.
20:40:16  <sparr> SpComb: taking a real game example...  delivering 100 units of coal at 144km/h (UKRS? cap), at 90% effective speed (accounting for track wiggles, turnarounds, etc), 660 tiles pays about 900, while 1100 tiles pays about 00
20:40:22  <Terkhen> the biggest problem is knowing what the user was really playing while debugging future problems?
20:40:38  <andythenorth> Terkhen: no, I think that's solvable
20:40:42  <sparr> SpComb: knowing this fundamentally changed my network design in two games
20:40:49  <andythenorth> the biggest problem is designing an entertaining gameplay :)
20:41:15  <sparr> 512x512 maps, so I WAS making some 900+ tile deliveries, until I learned this
20:42:18  <andythenorth> it's been suggested that Railroad Tycoon would be an ideal model for a 'simpler' new industry set
20:42:31  <andythenorth> but RT2 has 35 industries and RT3 has about 48
20:42:52  <andythenorth> I am trying to get FIRS down to about 24
20:43:15  <fjb> andythenorth: Don't hunt every suggestion. Railroad Tycoon is not TTD.
20:43:32  <Terkhen> I have never played any RT
20:43:34  <andythenorth> fjb: oddly enough, FIRS is almost entirely based on RT3
20:43:42  * andythenorth has played many hours of RT3
20:44:09  <andythenorth> About 24 is also the suggested number of industries for FIRS by players who want a simpler version
20:44:19  <andythenorth> so there are various contradictions I am trying to resolve
20:44:50  <Terkhen> and how will you add all other industries to the simple version? other GRFs?
20:44:56  <andythenorth> Parameter
20:45:01  <Eddi|zuHause> i have nothing against a "simple" and a "complex" version
20:45:18  <andythenorth> It will actually be nicer than just 'simple' and 'complex'
20:45:45  <andythenorth> With planetmaker's help, we have a way to use a single parameter to change several aspects of the gameplay
20:46:03  <andythenorth> this means FIRS will feature various full 'cargo economies'
20:46:25  <andythenorth> The cargo payment rates will vary, there will be some special 'bonus' industries, and the probability of industries on the map will vary
20:46:36  <PeterT> have you seen this? this is an amazing markup of new GUI: http://homepage.mac.com/jbadcock/openttd/openttd.html
20:46:45  <sparr> fjb: now, if YOU can do the math in your head, I would appreciate a confirmation that I am doing it right.  even if you can, that doesn't make it any less hard for the rest of us.  and if you can't, then your "you have to think by your own." was both condescending and hypocritical.
20:47:51  <fjb> andythenorth: That makes already the base set interesting.
20:48:19  <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: if you think it can be improved, how about you start implementing, instead of shouting around your incapacities?
20:48:31  <sparr> Eddi|zuHause: if I think what can be improved?
20:48:35  <andythenorth> fjb: the base set will just be parameter 0 - default, with normal cargo payment rates
20:48:57  <andythenorth> the other values for that parameter will be much more interesting...
20:49:09  <Terkhen> sounds good :)
20:49:25  <sparr> I am already trying to bring the New Graphs patch up to date, but it's old and fails a lot
20:50:11  <Eddi|zuHause> the window system changed a lot, you're probably going to have to rewrite most of it
20:50:34  <fjb> sparr: I make so much money in every game that I don't care for the optimum distance. And experience and some thinking tells me that it is unwise to send cargo which looses its value fast on long routes with slow vehicles.
20:50:42  <andythenorth> one more FIRS question: why would you even try FIRS instead of playing default industries?  (I ask as I have an idea about an alternative base set of industries)
20:51:12  * fjb would.
20:51:23  <andythenorth> fjb: why though?
20:51:49  *** Biolunar [mahdi@blfd-4db1b66b.pool.mediaWays.net] has quit [Quit: bis dann]
20:51:54  <fjb> I like your graphics better.
20:52:32  <sparr> fjb: actually, the cargos that lose value fast are more appropriate for long routes and slow vehicles.  so much for experience and thinking.
20:52:36  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: for me the reason to stop using default industries is that the industry chains are "simple" and nothing forces you to deliver to more than one secondary industry per map
20:52:44  <andythenorth> If FIRS didn't feature most of the default industries, would that appeal more or less?
20:52:50  *** Rubix`` [~wrqwer@cbl-dhcp-5-050.machlink.com] has joined #openttd
20:53:05  <andythenorth> No fricking power station for example :P
20:53:24  <sparr> fjb: the curve goes up to a peak, then down, then up again with no cap.  if the first peak is low/narrow enough, then the second upwards slope is the best case
20:53:36  <SpComb> hmm, MB's alpine grf readme doesn't really clarify the food situation
20:53:39  <Terkhen> because it is standard-like enough for me (no stockpiling, no GRF combinations) but adds new possibilities to the game, and more possible lines at a single game
20:53:42  <sparr> fjb: but if the first peak is high/wide, like it is for the non-perishable resources, then that peak is the best case
20:53:49  <SpComb> it just says that they need food, but it doens't say you can produce or transport it :P
20:54:08  <Terkhen> <andythenorth> If FIRS didn't feature most of the default industries, would that appeal more or less?  <--- as long as some necessary roles are fulfilled (moneymaker, etc), I don't think it would matter
20:54:10  <Eddi|zuHause> SpComb: i think that alpine 0.2 comes with the readme for alpine 0.1
20:54:29  <SpComb> http://openttdcoop.org/newgrfs/ottdc_grfpack/2_landscape/alpine/alpineclimate_en.html
20:54:45  <sparr> fjb: i assume you have a lot more experience with openttd than i do.  that you would get this wrong illustrates how non-obvious the behavior is
20:54:49  <Eddi|zuHause> SpComb: my knowledge about alpine food comes from confronting HIM with it
20:55:34  <fjb> sparr: You also have to take the vehicle running costs over that time into account and the turn around time.
20:55:36  <SpComb> but doesn't temparate have some kind of snow line as well now?
20:55:50  <Eddi|zuHause> SpComb: no, only in TTDPatch
20:56:01  <SpComb> confusing
20:56:51  <SpComb> but alpine + PBI = no-no
20:57:04  <andythenorth> in default TTD, transporting oil pretty much always sucks.  Would it be too weird if oil refineries produced fuel and chemicals with ni input cargo?
20:57:12  <andythenorth> IRL lots of oil is delivered by pipeline anyway
20:58:32  <Terkhen> I have tried a lot of times transporting oil with ships... very frustrating, I wouldn't miss it
20:58:32  <sparr> fjb: running costs are linear.  turn around time is effectively constant.  i fail to see how either of those are factors?
20:58:32  <fjb> We need pipelines.
20:58:43  <andythenorth> fjb: we do.  but we don't :P
20:59:27  <andythenorth> fjb: bingo, a way to implement pipelines
20:59:34  <andythenorth> use a railtype
20:59:52  <sparr> fjb: regardless of all the factors...  the point remains that for SOME cargos, on SOME map sizes, delivering halfway across the map is more profitable than delivering all the way across the map.  and figuring that information out is Hard.
20:59:54  <fjb> sparr: Just try it out.
20:59:58  <SpComb> and invisible vehicles
21:00:02  <andythenorth> use invisible trains.  Make them maximum speed, no runnign cost
21:00:11  <andythenorth> oh yes what SpComb  said
21:00:21  <andythenorth> you'd still have to route vehicles
21:00:27  <SpComb> and get them back
21:00:40  <andythenorth> it could be implemented with newgrf, no patch needed
21:00:44  <Eddi|zuHause> sparr: imho that's a "bug", not a "feature"
21:00:47  <sparr> I doubt there's anyone in here who could come up with the optimal delivery distances without at least a calculator
21:01:20  <sparr> Eddi|zuHause: I am inclined to agree, esp considering that it makes perishable goods BETTER to deliver long distances
21:01:36  <Eddi|zuHause> andythenorth: a pipeline doesn't have "infinite speed"
21:01:38  <sparr> Eddi|zuHause: that is, coal is better at 500 tiles than at 1000, but fruit is better at 1000 than 500
21:02:03  <andythenorth> Eddi|zuHause: why not code the grf and set the correct speed then :D
21:02:44  <sparr> Eddi|zuHause: which seems to be opposite the original intent
21:03:06  <fjb> andythenorth: Pipelines have also to be routed. So no problem.

21:03:22  <andythenorth> let me know when it's done :)

21:57:25  <andythenorth> I'm so bored of the mine-> power plant chain
21:58:03  <Terkhen> me too... there is no moneymaker chain then?
21:58:26  <andythenorth> money maker chain is whatever I set highest cargo rate to :)
21:58:39  <sparrL> delivering water at 32km/h there is a payment peak around 100 tiles, then it goes down and comes back up around 420
21:58:48  <sparrL> so delivering between 100 and 420 tiles is not worthwhile
21:58:50  <sparrL> i THINK
21:59:07  <andythenorth> Terkhen: money maker chain in FIRS basic would probably still be coal so it's familiar to players
21:59:42  <andythenorth> Coal -> steel mill (steel) -> machine shop (engineering supplies) -> coal mine (production booster)
21:59:58  <Terkhen> as long as it is not "dump coal here, receive money"... :P
22:00:03  <andythenorth> or coal -> steel mill (steel) -> foundry (goods) -> town
22:00:15  <andythenorth> or one of two other routes to get the other two production boost cargos :)

22:01:46  <andythenorth> glx: what's complex about ECS for you?
22:03:26  <glx> too many complex chains, all depending on each other
22:04:05  <andythenorth> glx: what makes a good chain for you?
22:04:42  <frosch123> andythenorth: pony manual is ready :p
22:04:59  <glx> <andythenorth> or coal -> steel mill (steel) -> foundry (goods) -> town <-- that is a good one
22:05:29  <frosch123> euh, this channel is quite spammy today, isn't it
22:05:36  <glx> but any chain not needed 2 other chains is good too :)
22:05:38  <sparrL> fjb: can you confirm those numbers?
22:05:50  <andythenorth> glx: coal -> steel mill would produce some steel
22:05:51  <glx> *needing
22:05:58  <andythenorth> coal + iron -> steel mill produces more steel
22:06:10  <sparrL> just coal produces steel?
22:06:12  <andythenorth> yes
22:06:14  <sparrL> i would think the other way around
22:06:18  <andythenorth> well, it's less fun
22:06:24  <sparrL> just iron produces some, iron+coal produces more
22:06:40  <andythenorth> that would be more realistic.  but not as fun in the game
22:07:41  <andythenorth> glx: 100t coal produces 50t steel.  100t iron produces 50t steel.  100t steel + 100t iron produces 150t steel.  And there are no stockpile limits....
22:07:49  <fjb> sparrL: I can not confirm anything without more parameters. Which vehicle set, which landscape between both points, which game year?
22:08:09  <frosch123> sounds fine. there would be no steelmill on the map if it has not already some basic supply of steel and coal
22:08:20  <frosch123> the task of the player is to improve the supply
22:08:33  <sparrL> fjb: what effect do those factors have?  landscape is somewhat variable, but assume i will build the shortest flattest route possible
22:08:56  <sparrL> vehicle set is eGRTVS i think
22:09:38  <andythenorth> frosch123: "If the host cannot interpret that information (as it is a build without YASP2), it just ignores it and continues."
22:09:48  <andythenorth> would immediately be valuable for something like new airports
22:10:00  <sparrL> for the sake of discussion, assume a completely flat roat with no turns, going straight from the pickup to the drop.  so the vehicle is doing its max speed for all but one tile of the distance
22:10:46  <fjb> sparrL: The game calculates Manhattan distance, but some vehicles can go diagonal, others can not. And the landscape has a big influence on the real traveling time.
22:10:47  <frosch123> he, if newairports isn't available earlier :p
22:10:52  <andythenorth> :P
22:11:23  <sparrL> fjb: I am aware of that, but those are factors that are a lot easier to guesstimate once the theoretical perfect case is known
22:11:27  <frosch123> i had ECS and daylength in mind
22:11:52  <fjb> sparrL: And then there are some game parameters like realistic acceleration, breakdowns and congestion on that line.
22:12:02  <glx> anyway the main problem with ECS is the interdependance between all vectors
22:12:04  <sparrL> fjb: but I am not sure I am doing the math right even in the perfect case.  no breakdowns, no decelleration, no congestion.
22:12:22  <fjb> sparrL: Your "perfect case" without that parameters is pretty useless.
22:12:46  <sparrL> "pretty useless" is more useful than not having a solution for ANY case
22:13:03  <sparrL> which is where I am now
22:14:29  <fjb> The main problem with George's ECS is that the map is empty after a few years (at least it was the last time I played with his ECS).
22:14:39  <sparrL> I am not sure that I am doing the vehicle speed (km/h) to effective speed (tiles/day) conversion correctly, or that I am accounting for other conversion factors (2.5 game days per day-in-the-payment-function?) correctly
22:14:55  <sparrL> including other factors like efficiency and congestion is much farther down the line, i have to solve these problems first
22:15:44  <fjb> sparrL: Your mathematics have the value of an untested backup. No backup is way better than en untested because you know you have no backup and do not falsely rely on something which is not working at all.
22:16:23  <sparrL> fjb: the solution to the perfect case sets a boundary on the real cases
22:16:30  <sparrL> i know i can't ever make MORE money than in the perfect case
22:18:08  <andythenorth> frosch123: ideas look good.
22:18:31  <sparrL> "Note: In this page when spoken about 'days', in fact 2.5 days are meant. So if days_in_transit = 4, then you use 4 in the calculations that follow, but actually the cargo is already 10 days in transit. "  <--  very confusing

22:30:01  <sparrL> andythenorth: i think that level of detail is a matter of the new zoom levels, not 32bpp...  you could do similar with 8bpp

22:32:18  <glx> <sparrL> andythenorth: i think that level of detail is a matter of the new zoom levels, not 32bpp...  you could do similar with 8bpp <-- not doable with the game palette
22:33:02  <Terkhen> my problem with 32bpp graphics is that finding a complete set between a hell of contradictory packages and lost tar files is too frustrating

22:34:03  <andythenorth> the main problem is that it doesn't feed my nostalgia for 1995 style

22:38:17  <sparrL> glx: of course there would be quality loss, but i don't see why you couldn't get that level of detail with a smaller palette

22:41:23  <sparrL> not familiar with all the graphics code, 256 might be a stretch, but 16 shades of gray still looks nice
22:41:34  <sparrL> happy medium, say 128 or 192
22:41:59  <peter1138> you can have 256 greys... easily with 32bpp
